At sunset, the mountains are far away

Chapter 69 Miss You

This was the last night the two of them could spend before Tao Yan left.When Tao Yan came back from the bathroom and sat on the bed, he suddenly saw a 4A printed document on the bedside table.At first she thought that Xia Chengqi had finished writing another part of the novel, she cleared her throat and sat upright, picked up the paper and was about to start reading.

But when Tao Yan saw the content of the document, his expression turned cold instantly. He frowned and flipped through the paper roughly, staring straight at the two-year labor contract. She didn't realize until the date of signing.It turns out that Xia Chengqi has been so active recently, preparing all kinds of small surprises for herself, just because she has already made a decision.She thought that with this period of getting along, she could at least persist until Xia Chengqi graduated, and then she would have more emotional capital to persuade Xia Chengqi, but she never thought that the other party would never include her in her future life plan. In this way, quietly set the direction for the future of the two of them.

Tao Yan put the contract back on the bedside table, staring straight at the snow-white wall opposite, her head was buzzing, as if she had lost the ability to think, but her throat tightened up and down, reminding her of what was happening before her eyes.

Xia Chengqi walked in with a calm expression, glanced at the documents on the bedside table, and found that the position of the documents was no longer correct, and he knew that Tao Yan had already seen it.Hearing the sound, Tao Yan raised his head and looked at Xia Chengqi coldly, his eyes full of questioning and disbelief.

"When you signed, did you hesitate?"

"No." Xia Chengqi replied without hesitation, avoiding Tao Yan's following gaze, sat back under the quilt, picked up the book on the bedside table and began to read.

Tao Yan quietly stared at Xia Chengqi, who was reading a book as usual, as if he was unwilling and couldn't believe Xia Chengqi's overly certain answer. She hoped to see the unbearable sadness and dissatisfaction from this calm face. Abandon.

Xia Chengqi was tormented by Tao Yan's burning eyes that refused to give up, and finally put the book back on the bedside table, turned his face to respond to Tao Yan's gaze, "But I will be sad, and I will not be willing to part with you." The two looked at each other silently, but It is no longer the sweet and tender eye contact, but the melancholy of questioning, unwillingness, reluctance and parting.

"Why can't it be Xiamen? Can't it be a province closer to Xiamen? Does it have to be this far away? You give up your insurance research quota, come to such a far place, and choose a job that doesn't match you. What do you want? Xia Cheng Qi." Tao Yan questioned Xia Chengqi almost growling, she really didn't understand that the person in front of her could have a bright future, but she was willing to give up everything.

"Everyone has their own choice. Tao Yan, Qinghai is just the first stop in my life, and being a reporter is just the first job in my life. What I want is to experience life in a variety of ways, to experience this A huge world." Xia Chengqi said plainly about his plan for life.

"What about me?" Tao Yan's voice was light and ethereal, but it was clearly audible even in the quiet room, and the voice touched my ears.

Xia Chengqi looked at Tao Yan's injury with a sad expression, put his arm around Tao Yan, and whispered in his ear; "Remember what I asked you, if you were a sister, you would give up your original life for the sake of the child Is it? You refused without hesitation at that time. What about now? Where's your answer?" Tao Yan didn't answer, but let Xia Chengqi hold him dumbly.

Xia Chengqi understood Tao Yan's answer in his heart, withdrew his hug, stretched out his hand to caress Tao Yan's cheek, looked into Tao Yan's eyes and said, "From now on, you have to take good care of yourself, if you want to forget as soon as possible, just Throw away everything about me. You know? This way you will forget faster."

Tao Yan stared at Xia Chengqi blankly, but still didn't respond.Xia Chengqi moved his face closer and kissed gently, Tao Yan remained motionless, letting Xia Chengqi kiss without any response.Xia Chengqi laid Tao Yan flat on the bed, turned off the light, hugged Tao Yan sideways, closed his eyes and tried to let himself fall asleep slowly, fearing that the undercurrent of emotions would escape his control.

Tao Yan's eyes were tightly closed, his brows knit into a knot trembling slightly, for the seemingly clear ending of the story about the two of them.

At dawn, Xia Chengqi was woken up by rustling sounds. She opened her eyes and saw Tao Yan who was squatting to pack his luggage in the dim light of a desk lamp. , frowning, eyes fell on the silhouette of Tao Yan who was ready to leave without nostalgia, but in the end he didn't speak, and he didn't hold back, but the hand holding the quilt turned white.

Tao Yan suddenly turned his face, and the two looked at each other. Tao Yan just took a deep look at Xia Chengqi who had his eyes open, then turned his head, zipped up the suitcase, and dragged the luggage out of the room. There are no words, only indifferent backs.Cheng Qi, I won't give up my original life for one person, because I can't afford to bet.

Xia Cheng opened his eyes and didn't know how long it took before he fell asleep again. When he woke up, his surroundings were already empty, and the depression of the pillow had already returned to flatness, without any wrinkles.She got up and removed the closet, only to see that her clothes were hanging on the hangers untouched, and everything that belonged to Tao Yan disappeared.Xia Chengqi sat on the edge of the bed blankly, staring blankly at the closet that was originally filled with Tao Yan's clothes, feeling a little overwhelmed.After a long time, Xia Chengqi stood up and walked to the window.

The exhaled hot air hit the cold glass, forming circles of water mist.It was still bitterly cold and gray outside.She remembered how Tao Yan, who lived in Xiamen, was shivering from the cold and sucking his nose every time he was on the streets of Xining.In the crowded and noisy airport, does she look thin and lonely again by herself?

Tao Yan, forgive me, forgive me for being afraid that if I continue, I will no longer want to leave you, so I can only let you withdraw from my life in this decisive way...

Tao Yan, who returned to Xiamen, comforted himself at first, saying that he was only single again, and it was not much different from when he was alone.It's like a lake, when a stone is thrown, it ripples a few times, and then restores its original calm.But, slowly, she felt that the night alone had lost the innocence she cherished.

Today's separation again is full of time spent together day and night, full of the companionship and tenderness of you and me, full of reluctance and depression...

At night, she lay quietly on the bed alone, recalling the things they had in common, looking at the empty pillow beside her, but she could only see the starry night outside the window looking at herself alone.

On this day, Tao Yan was walking on the school road and saw a huge red banner hanging down from the main teaching building.Today is the annual eighth exam, Tao Yan's heart fluttered, but he was also angry at his own thoughts, so what can she do when she comes back?Tao Yan collected his thoughts and walked to another teaching building to prepare for class.

It's just that when the watch on his wrist slowly points to the end of the special eight exams, Tao Yan's gaze always glances outside the door from time to time, for fear of missing something, and from time to time he looks at the cell phone which is too quiet and has a dark face all the time. There was some inexplicable irritability in my heart.The students left the classroom one after another. Tao Yan sat on the seat of the podium, stared blankly for a while, laughed at the faint expectation deep in his heart, finally stood up, and strode towards the door almost decisively. When passing the stairs on the left side of the classroom door, the footsteps stopped for a short time before walking further away.

Xia Chengqi held his breath and hid behind the wall with a nervous expression. Hearing the sound of high heels hitting the ground again, he poked his head out in relief and watched Tao Yan's curling back disappear into the stairs on the other side.Xia Chengqi walked into the classroom, looked at Tao Yan's voluptuous English on the blackboard, picked up a pen and wrote two lines of English on the next line of the English handwriting;

How I miss you!

How I want you!

Tao Yan, who was walking downstairs, suddenly remembered that he forgot to take his water glass. When he turned back to the classroom, he happened to bump into the security guard who came to lock the classroom door.Tao Yan was a little strange, he obviously didn't turn off the electric switch, and the security guard just came over, the blackboard seemed to be polished by someone, and there was no word on it, he picked up the water glass, but found that the water glass was full, opened the lid, it was a glass It was full of hot boiling water, obviously someone just poured it not long ago.Tao Yan stood in the dark classroom, his head was a little dizzy.

"Teacher, I'm going to lock the door." Uncle Security urged Tao Yan to leave.

Tao Yan walked out of the classroom in a daze, and looked down at his water glass in doubt.Cheng Qi, have you been here?Tao Yan took out his phone, and the screen saver was a photo of himself and Xia Chengqi at the candlelight dinner. In the photo, Xia Chengqi was smiling gently, his eyes were bright and starry, and she was reluctant to change it.Tao Yan opened the call log and found Xia Chengqi's name, but he hesitated and did not dial it.Tao Yan exited the call history interface, returned to the main interface, and scratched Xia Chengqi's face on the screen saver with his fingers, but after all, he couldn't feel anything, only the cold and smooth touch of the phone screen. How I miss you!
