Qin Fang guessed that he had nothing good to say, and asked, "What's the progress?"

Han Xiaogong asked on the phone: "What are you two doing?"

Qin Fang said: "Dinner, do you have something to do?"

Han Xiaogong raised his tone and asked again: "With whom?"

"With my roommate," Qin Fang asked him again, "Is there something wrong?"

Xing Yan looked over from the side and said to Qin Fang, "He's fine, don't worry about it."

Han Xiaogong smiled lightly again, and said, "Ah, no, I'm fine."

Qin Fang then asked: "Then I hang up?"

"Okay, bye." Han Xiaogong said.

Qin Fang also said to him, "Bye."

After hanging up the phone, Qin Fang put the phone back to Xing Yan's hand, and said with a smile, "He's really busy."

"He's really free," Xing Yan said, "except for taking pictures."

"It's really cool." Qin Fang shook his head and said.

Seeing that the three rascals couldn't get enough of Xing Yan, they started to play tricks, hiding all the rascals, and didn't want the new friend who joined them to kill all three of them.

No matter how much Xing Yan could drink, he ended up having a little too much. The fundus of the eyes is a little red, but nothing else can be seen.

After leaving the door, Qin Fang pointed to the three people and said, "You three are cheaters."

Shen Dengke laughed cheaply: "We are enthusiastic."

Xing Yan sat in the co-pilot, pulled the seat belt and fastened it. He drank too much and didn't talk much. He lowered his head slightly, and was quieter than usual. When Qin Fang asked him something, he would just "hmm" or shake his head slightly, his reaction was slower than normal, and his eyes were occasionally dull.

Hua Tong and Xing Yan are in the same dormitory area, Qin Fang had to send them back first.

Arriving downstairs in the dormitory, Hua Tong laughed and got out of the car, Xing Yan leaned on the car seat with his eyes closed and did not move. Qin Fang didn't know if he was asleep, so he touched his arm: "Brother Yan?"

Xing Yan slowly opened his eyes, Qin Fang said again: "It's downstairs."

Xing Yan looked outside, but still didn't move, closed his eyes again, and said in a low voice, "I want to go around."

Qin Fang blinked, laughed, and then nodded: "Okay, then I'll send them back first."

The two roommates in the back seat also sent them back, Qin Fang didn't rush to leave, the car stopped downstairs, and asked Xing Yan: "Where do you want to go?"

Xing Yan shook his head lightly.

Qin Fang felt that Xing Yan was cute when he drank too much, and his slowness was a bit different from usual. Qin Fang didn't ask him any more, and drove the car out without any destination, so he drove at a leisurely pace. Xing Yan was originally looking out of the car window, but turned back after a while, looked ahead, and suddenly asked Qin Fang: "Do you like to turn around like this, or should I take you around?"

"There is no doubt about it," Qin Fang said without any hesitation, "There is no comparison, what joy is there, I like your car."

Xing Yan turned his head to look at him, didn't say anything, just let out a "huh".

Qin Fang is a friend who is very comfortable to get along with. He can't find any shortcomings in him, and makes people feel comfortable in every aspect. Usually he is very cheerful and can chat with anyone, but now when Xing Yan drank too much and felt dull and didn't want to talk, Qin Fang quietly took him around and drove the car to the outer ring, Not a word, no noise at all.

Later, Qin Fang parked the car by the river, opened the window, and turned off the engine.

Along the river, there were young couples and a family of three who were walking around after dinner. The child picked up a small stone and threw it into the river. There were many flying insects around the small lights by the river. Xing Yan looked over there, and said slowly: "Actually, the four of us should have dinner together today."

"Huh?" Qin Fang looked at him, "What?"

Xing Yan asked him: "What's the date today?"

Qin Fang glanced at his phone and said, "September 6th."

Xing Yan still looked at the direction of the river, how gentle the water is during the day, and how dark and terrifying at night. But fortunately, there are small yellow lights by the river, which makes everything look peaceful. Xing Yan cleared his throat, nodded and said, "Well, from today onwards, we have no home."

Qin felt relieved.

Xing Yan said: "It's been too long, I'm numb."

Qin Fang pursed his lips, and asked softly after a while: "You..."

"Why don't we have a home?" Xing Yan finished the question for him.

Qin Fang nodded.

Xing Yan said, "The chemical plant exploded."

Xing Yan said these things calmly, he would say these things maybe because today is a special day, or just because he drank alcohol today.

The chemical plant explosion was easily suppressed in that era without the Internet. A large amount of pension was given, but no one outside the province knew about it. From that day on, intact families became broken, and there are too many of them. Lucky children can still have a single parent, while unlucky children can only learn to grow up on their own.

Some were picked up by elders and left there, and there were also those whose roots grew there and could not be separated from. Live carefully under the fence of others, and when the elders also pass away, they can only gather together with the same kind of people in the same situation and grow up savagely together.

"Han Xiaogong is the most bullied." Xing Yan unscrewed the bottle of water, took a sip to moisten his throat, and said, "Because he is the most beautiful and looks like a little girl."

"Indeed," Qin Fang nodded, "Such boys are easily bullied."

"He just knows how to cry," Xing Yan laughed mockingly, "he came back crying almost every day, and once he was stripped naked, and there was a shoe print on his butt."

Qin Fang frowned, and couldn't help saying "fuck".

"Zhou Siming went out with a knife that day," Xing Yan blinked slowly, and continued, "I went too."

"Zhou Siming and I are responsible for the output of force." He may have been amused by his own words, rubbed his nose with his fingers, "He and I almost grew up fighting with others. If we can't fight, we have to fight, and we can't stop fighting. "

What he said made Qin Fang feel tight in his chest and wanted to swear.

Xing Yan fumbled for a pack of cigarettes from his pocket, turned his head and asked him, "Do you mind?"

Qin Fang shook his head: "I don't mind, I didn't even know you could smoke."

"I will do it very early," Xing Yan lit one, "I won't smoke it later."

Qin Fang reached for Xing Yan's cigarette and said, "Give me one."

Xing Yan looked up and hid, biting a cigarette and looking at Qin Fang, his eyes were half-closed because of the smoke, and said, "You learn something better."

In fact, it's not that Qin Fang doesn't know how to smoke. He also smoked when playing with those young masters, but he didn't like it. What Xing Yan said thought that Qin Fang would also like to order a cigarette, but Xing Yan would not give it.

The appearance of Xing Yan smoking is different from his usual, the line of the mandible will be more obvious when he is biting the cigarette.

In fact, Qin Fang didn't know why Xing Yan said this to him, it didn't seem like something Xing Yan would say. He always has a distance, and he will not take the initiative to tell others about himself. Qin Fang guessed that Xing Yan might have drunk too much.

After smoking one cigarette, Xing Yan got out of the car, stubbed out the cigarette, and walked a few steps over to throw it away. Qin Fang also got out of the car, and when he walked over, Xing Yan said: "Actually, what you see of me is not so real. I often pretend to be."

Qin Fang didn't take it seriously, and asked, "What are you pretending to be?"

Xing Yan looked at him and said, "It's not so... dark."

Qin Fang actually laughed and said, "From now on, you don't have to pretend, just do what you want."

Xing Yan still looked at Qin Fang, and didn't speak for a long time. Qin Fang was stared at him for a long time, and raised his eyes to meet him.

"You are too simple," Xing Yan said, "You can see the head at a glance."

Qin Fang raised his eyebrows: "Then what did you see?"

Xing Yan thought for a while, finally lowered his head and smiled, and said in a low voice: "I see you are a fool."

Qin Fang was said to be a fool by him again, after two steps he hit Xing Yan, he raised his arm, Xing Yan thought he was going to strangle his neck again and just wanted to hide. In the end, Qin Fang just put his hand around Xing Yan's shoulder and gave him a tight hug.

Qin Fang hugged Xing Yan with both arms. The two were so about the same height. When Qin Fang spoke, his mouth was right next to Xing Yan's ear. Qin Fang patted Xing Yan's back forcefully with his hand, and said—

"Brother Yan, come on."

Xing Yan was hugged by Qin Fang, chest to chest, feeling the hot and powerful heartbeat of the young man in front of him. Xing Yan closed his eyes, smelling the smell of Qin Fang's shampoo.

For a meal with his roommate, Qin Fang called Xing Yan on a whim, or it can't be said that it was a whim, ever since he went out with Xing Yan, he has been thinking about others and wants to play with them. In short, it was such a meal that Qin Fang knew a lot about Xing Yan, which was actually an accident.

Knowing each other's secrets is one of the most powerful ways to get closer.

Qin Fang originally thought that Xing Yan might regret saying so much when he sobered up the next day, but it didn't seem like he had said so much. This person is so normal that he didn't seem to have said anything.

But Qin Fang couldn't act like he hadn't heard of it, anyway, Xing Yan had been different in his heart since that night.

The original cool boy turned into a pitiful little boy in Qin Fang's place. He subconsciously wanted to bring Xingyan with him in everything he did. Whether it's going out to eat or play, always make a phone call to make an appointment. But Xing Yan seldom has time to go out with him, after all he is a top student.

Hua Tong nested in Qin Fang's dormitory, squatting on his chair to play games, and said, "Qin is heartbroken, Han Fang, why did you invite me to dinner today? Is your brother Yan in the laboratory?"

Qin Fang laughed twice and ignored him.

"Looks like a bitter woman," Shen Dengke answered from the opposite side, "Tong Er, you have to find a way to win back my trust."

"You don't need me to save you," Hua Tong said, "Tomorrow's Xingyan is today's me, and when you let go and start chasing girls, you have to stand aside."

"That's inevitable," Shen Dengke grinned, "What use are you after chasing someone?"
