They walked back to the community, and when they entered the door, Xia Xingcheng still knocked on the glass window of the guard room.
The security guard on duty opened the window and said to Xia Xingcheng, "Are you back?" before pressing the automatic button to open the door.
It happened that the party that was being played on the TV in the duty room arrived at the big party before 0:00. After Xia Xingcheng and the others entered, a second before the security closed the glass window, the countdown sound came from the TV: "Ten!"
After he closed the window, Xia Xingcheng stretched out his hands in his coat pockets, and continued to count down as he walked forward: "Nine, eight, seven..."
He counted all the way to "one," and it was twelve o'clock. Although fireworks and firecrackers have been banned in urban areas, there seems to be some agitation in the air announcing the moment of the alternation of old and new.
Xia Xingcheng stopped, looked back at Yang Youming, and said, "Happy New Year!"
Yang Youming also stopped and said softly, "We were together in the last second of last year and the first second of this year." He still remembered what Xia Xingcheng had told him.
Xia Xingcheng originally wanted to hug him, but put his hands in his pockets. After struggling for a long time, he still didn't extend his hand.
When they walked to the front of the villa, the lights in the living room on the first floor had been turned off, and everyone seemed to go to bed as soon as it was past twelve o'clock.
Xia Xingcheng took out the key in his pocket and just inserted it into the keyhole when the door was opened from the inside.
With a cigarette in his mouth, Xia Ye stood at the door with a cold face and looked straight at them. He pulled the cigarette out of his mouth and asked, "Where are you going?"
Xia Xingcheng replied listlessly: "We don't want to watch the party, go out for a walk."
"It's so late? There's no one outside, where to go shopping?" Xia Ye's eyes were full of doubts.
Xia Xingcheng said: "I only go shopping when there is no one left, or Ming Ge will be recognized." After speaking, he said, "Can we go in first? It's too cold outside."
Xia Ye finally let the door open.
After entering the house, Yang Youming said to Xia Ye, "I haven't been here before, so I wanted to go out and have a look, so I asked Xingcheng to accompany me. As a result, I couldn't get a taxi outside, and I had to walk back after I walked a little further, so I wasted a lot of time, sorry for worrying you."
His tone was sincere, but Xia Ye was embarrassed to lose his temper at him, and only said, "Xingcheng should call me and let me pick you up."
Xia Xingcheng said, "I don't want to delay you watching the party."
Xia Ye couldn't help but say, "What's the fun of not watching the party during the New Year's Eve, and it's deserted outside."
Yang Youming laughed, "You can watch the party anywhere. I'm afraid I won't have a chance to visit this city in the future. I'll be leaving tomorrow morning."
When Xia Xingcheng heard the words and looked at him, Xia Ye was also a little surprised, "So anxious?"
Yang Youming said: "There are arrangements at work."
Xia Ye immediately looked at Xia Xingcheng: "You won't go, will you?"
Before Xia Xingcheng could answer, Yang Youming said for him, "Xingcheng will not leave. It is rare to have family reunions at the end of the year, and Xingcheng will definitely stay for a few more days."
"I'm not leaving," Xia Xingcheng said in a deep voice.
Xia Ye greeted them: "Then go to rest, when will the flight be tomorrow? I'll take Brother Ming to the airport."
Yang Youming said: "No need, I'll just take a taxi and you can celebrate the New Year at home."
Xia Ye mumbled a few words in his mouth, saying that it was still convenient for him to drive, but his tone was not very firm.
They went up to the second floor, Xia Ye went back to the room by himself, Yang Youming and Xia Xingcheng entered the room one after the other, Xia Xingcheng closed the door behind.
Yang Youming took off his coat, sat down beside the bed, looked at Xia Xingcheng and said, "Xingcheng, I'll go back tomorrow."
Xia Xingcheng replied, "Okay."
Yang Youming said to him again: "I will sleep in a small bed at night, you have a good rest."
Xia Xingcheng did not hesitate, but still replied: "Okay."
Only a small table lamp was turned on in the room, barely illuminating the whole room.
When Yang Youming went to take a bath, Xia Xingcheng sat beside the bed and reached out to touch the dry traces on the bed. He felt like a dream, but he didn't know whether the sweetness last night was a dream, or the cruelty today was a dream.
Later, Xia Xingcheng sat cross-legged on the bed and wiped the sheets with a damp towel. He didn't know if he had wiped it clean, but the sheets were soaked in a large piece, but they were still mechanically wiping them over and over again.
The area of soaking on the sheets became bigger and bigger. Yang Youming sat down and grabbed his hand, saying, "If you continue, there will be nowhere to sleep tonight."
Xia Xingcheng waved his hand, turned his head and said, "Wipe it clean, lest my parents find out."
"I won't find out," Yang Youming told him.
Then the two didn't speak until they fell asleep on the bed.
Xia Xingcheng pulled up the quilt to cover half of his face and said, "Have you bought your plane ticket?"
Yang Youming lay down quietly and replied, "I'll ask Li Yun to order it for me after dinner."
Xia Xingcheng turned over and faced his direction, "Are you planning to leave before going out with me?"
"Yeah," Yang Youming said in a gentle tone, "It's been New Year's Eve, I can't stay at your house until the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, right?"
"Whatever you want," Xia Xingcheng stopped talking, he just felt deeply tired, he couldn't tell whether it was the fatigue brought on him by real life or the fatigue caused by chasing Yang Youming all the time.
He didn't understand why his love was so painful.
He opened his eyes silently in the dark until late at night, almost thinking he was going to lose sleep all night, but then he fell into a deep sleep, and then slept until the next morning.
When Xia Xingcheng woke up, he found that it was already dawn, and he was the only one in the room. The quilt on the cot Yang Youming slept in last night was neatly folded, and the box Yang Youming put in the corner of the room was gone.
At that moment, Xia Xingcheng had a feeling of being abandoned, and his heart was more than half cold. He got up from the bed and went to the bathroom to wash in his pajamas. The collar of his pajamas fell down to reveal half of his collarbone. When he brushed his teeth, he looked in the mirror and saw the tooth marks on the collarbone, which were still clearly visible even after a day had passed. He sighed and pulled up his clothes a little, out of sight and out of mind.
When Xia Xingcheng changed his clothes and went down to the first floor, he found that Yang Youming hadn't left at all. His suitcase was leaning against the door of the living room. He was sitting in the dining room, eating breakfast with Xia Xingcheng's parents and his second uncle and second aunt. to chat with.
Not knowing what he said, the four old people were amused, especially Mama Xia, who stood up to put another bun in Yang Youming's bowl.
Yang Youming said quickly, "Enough is enough, I can't eat any more."
Mama Xia said, "Where can't the young boy eat?"
Yang Youming smiled lightly when he heard the words, he couldn't resist Mama Xia's enthusiasm, so he let her put the buns in his bowl.
At this time, Uncle Xia saw Xia Xingcheng approaching and said quickly, "Xingcheng is up, come and have breakfast."
Xia Xingcheng glanced at Yang Youming, and it happened that Yang Youming was also looking at him, so he walked over to Yang Youming and sat down.
Yang Youming gave him the buns in the bowl, "You can eat it."
Xia Xingcheng nodded.
After they finished breakfast, Xia Ye and Fang Ying went downstairs with their two children.
Xia Xingcheng asked Xia Ye for the car keys and wanted to drive Yang Youming to the airport by himself.
Xia Ye hesitated when he gave him the key, "Can you do it? Let me go later."
Xia Xingcheng said, "You haven't had breakfast yet. Besides, your parents want to go to the temple to burn incense, so you can go with them with Ding Ding Dong Dong."
Xia Ye said, "I'm afraid you're not familiar with the road."
Xia Xingcheng had already brought over the keys. He picked up Yang Youming's suitcase and said, "I can open the navigation." After speaking, he was already walking outside.
Yang Youming put on sunglasses and a mask before going out. He followed Xia Xingcheng and walked out. Xia Xingcheng's family went to the door to see him off.
Xia Ye's BMW was parked in the open space in front of the gate of the villa. When Xia Xingcheng walked over to open the trunk, he saw someone in the next building peering out of the second-floor window and looking at it.
Of course the man was looking at him, but he was still a little uneasy. He raised his head and said to Yang Youming, "Wait a minute, I'll move the car a little closer."
The car moved closer, and Yang Youming got into the car directly from the co-pilot, so he couldn't see it from that person's point of view. When he was sitting in the car, he couldn't see his figure clearly, and it was hard to judge who he was.
Yang Youming stopped at the door.
Mama Xia said, "It's just inconvenient to be a big star, but our star journeys are better."
Xia Ye couldn't help but say, "Our Star Journey is also pretty good."
Yang Youming turned back and said to Mama Xia, "Starway is very good, and he will develop better than me in the future."
Mama Xia suddenly said with a smile: "How is it possible, it's still far worse than you."
Xia Xingcheng put the suitcase in the trunk, then got in the car, turned the car back a bit, and then leaned towards the door.
Seeing that the distance was almost over, Yang Youming raised his hand and put on the hat of the down jacket, opened the passenger car door and sat in. After closing the door, he pressed the window again and said goodbye to Xia Xingcheng's family again.
Xia Xingcheng remained silent and said nothing. He reversed the car again, turned the steering wheel and drove outside.
The road to the airport was the road from which he came. Xia Xingcheng was not familiar with the road conditions, so he drove a little slower than Xia Ye.
Maybe it was because he was silent all the way. When he got to the airport, Yang Youming said to him when he got out of the car, "Have a happy New Year with your family."
Xia Xingcheng took a deep breath. He sat in the driver's seat without getting out of the car, looked at Yang Youming and said, "You and your family are very important to me."
Yang Youming said to him, "Just come back after the New Year, I'll wait for you at home."
This was the last sentence Yang Youming said to him before he left, but when Xia Xingcheng finished the year and went back to Beijing before joining the group, he did not choose to go back to Yang Youming's house, but to his own house in Beijing.
Xia Xingcheng was a little scared.
