sunset mountains

Chapter 30

At the beginning of the sexual intercourse, the two were stuck in the depths of the big bed.

Wei Chi pulled the quilt up to Xiao Yanwei's shoulders, and put his hand from under the quilt to Xiao Yanwei's back waist, rubbing it once in a while, "Are you sleepy?"

Xiao Yanwei liked this reassuring environment very much, he shook his head, "I'm not sleepy, I'm refreshed."

He leaned over and kissed Wei Chi on the chin, "Talk to me for a while."

"Well," Wei Chi said quickly, "Xiao Yanwei, happy new year."

The two got very close, Xiao Yan didn't close his eyes, and felt the warm breath rushing back and forth on their faces.

Xiao Yan didn't feel itchy, and couldn't help laughing, "Well, Teacher Wei is also happy New Year."

Wei Chi patted him on the side and asked him, "What's your New Year's resolution?"

Xiao Yanwei got closer to Wei Chi again, and deliberately asked, "Can Teacher Wei realize my wish?"

Wei Chi was silent for a while, then said realistically, "Maybe not."

He hugged Xiao Yanwei tightly, Xiao Yanwei moved down a little, and put his forehead on Wei Chi's chest, Wei Chi said, "But you can say first, what I can't do now, work hard in the future."

Xiao Yanwei didn't have any hard-to-fulfill wishes. He used to hope that his parents and brother would come back, and sometimes when he got emotional, he also hoped that he would find a place where no one would be there to die.

Now that he has Wei Chi, he doesn't think so much.

So Xiao Yan didn't say, "I don't have any wishes anymore."

Wei Chi smiled, said that Xiao Yanwei was easily satisfied, and asked abruptly, "Xiao Yanwei, do you want to go back to school?"

Xiao Yan didn't expect him to say that suddenly, he was taken aback for a moment before asking, "What's wrong?"

"I don't know if you still want to go to school now." Wei Chi patted Xiao Yanwei's shoulder as if coaxing the child, "But since you took the exam at that time, you still want to go to school."

Xiao Yanwei pursed his lips, "I don't know."

"When I was 22 years old, I did what I wanted to do," Wei Chi spoke slowly. "I came here from the capital. There were many hard times, but most of the time I was happy."

"When you were 22 years old, you wanted to do something that you didn't accomplish. No matter how long it has been, you will feel regretful when you think about it."

"At that time, what I wanted to do was definitely not only going to school, but..." Wei Chi didn't say the following words, and Xiao Yanwei didn't say anything either.After a long while, Xiao Yanwei sighed, and criticized Wei Chi with a hoarse voice, "It's the New Year's Eve, you have to make people cry, right?"

Wei Chi moved the hand on his back to the front, he lifted Xiao Yanwei's chin, and leaned over to kiss Xiao Yanwei's eyes, "Let me see, are you crying?"

Xiao Yan didn't close his eyes, feeling Wei Chi's warm lips brushing against the end of his eyes, "I haven't cried yet, I'm about to cry."

"Huh?" Wei Chi asked, "What kind of crying? The kind of handsome guy?"

"Yeah," Xiao Yanwei closed his eyes, "the kind."

The two hugged and laughed for a while, Xiao Yanwei sighed, "Wei Chi, if I go back to school, I can't stay here with you, do you want me?"

"Reluctance." Wei Chi said.

"Then you still let me go."

"I didn't let you go," Wei Chi said, "unless you don't want to come back."

Xiao Yanwei stretched out his arms to hug Wei Chi's waist, "You are still here, where can I go?"

"But if I want to go to school, the previous grades will definitely not be counted, and I have to take the exam again." Xiao Yanwei said.

In fact, when Wei Chi proposed to let Xiao Yanwei go back to school, Xiao Yanwei was very tempted for a moment.

At that time, my yearning for my favorite school and my love for my chosen major did not decrease much.

It's just that there are so many sorrows in the middle, when I think about it again, it's because my mood is different.

But Wei Chi said, "Let's take the test, I'll wait for you."

Xiao Yan didn't move his legs, and put his calf on Wei Chi's lap. The two were entangled in the thick quilt, very hot, but neither of them pushed each other away.

After a while, Xiao Yan didn't say, "Then I have to think about it."

Before Wei Chi could answer, he pushed Wei Chi's shoulder, "I'm hungry, Mr. Wei, let's take a shower first, I haven't eaten the hot pot yet."

Before Xiao Yan came out of the bathroom, the bottom of the hot pot was already boiling, and Wei Chi was picking up some things that he was not afraid of cooking to put in it.

Seeing him come out, Wei Chi opened a can of beer and handed it over, "The water wasn't too hot when I first took a shower, is it better now?"

"It's not cold." Xiao Yan didn't take the beer, seeing that there were many empty cans on the table, he was stunned for a moment, "Why do you drink so much?"

Wei Chi spoke clearly, but his eyes were somewhat drunk, "Not much."

Xiao Yan didn't feel that his mood was not too high.

He walked over and sat down at the table, took a pair of long chopsticks and poured a plate of beef into the pot, "Are you hungry?"

As soon as the sliced ​​meat was put into the pot, the bubbling pot calmed down. Wei Chi stirred it with chopsticks, "I'm hungry."

Xiao Yanwei touched Wei Chi with a beer, "I haven't eaten hot pot for a long time."

Wei Chi drank half a can of beer in one gulp, took Xiao Yanwei's bowl and helped him mix the ingredients and handed it to him, "What's the matter?"

"Hot pot is a lively event." Xiao Yan didn't take the bowl, "I...no one is having fun with me."

Wei Chi turned down the heat, squeezed his hand across the table, and raised the jar to touch him, "Why don't we say that we are suitable, and no one is having fun with me."

Xiao Yanwei patted his hand away with a smile, "Don't make trouble."

Wei Chi didn't take his hand back, but still put it on Xiao Yanwei's hand that didn't hold his chopsticks, "I will accompany you whatever you eat from now on, the two of us will be lively enough."

Xiao Yan didn't lower his head, but withdrew his hand and continued to eat, "The last time I ate hot pot, it was with my parents, and it was also Chinese New Year."

Wei Chi put down his chopsticks and looked at him without saying a word.

Xiao Yanwei poked the bottom of the bowl with the tip of his chopsticks, "Oh, I'm too disappointed, it's Chinese New Year."

Wei Chi glanced at him, took one side of the greens and poured them into the pot, "It's a big Chinese New Year, it would be strange if you don't want your parents or your brother."

Xiao Yanwei still lowered his head, ate slowly, and asked for a while, "Wei Chi, what's wrong with you?"

Wei Chi paused, then fished out all the meat in the pot and handed it to Xiao Yanwei, "You have such sharp eyes."

"Well," Xiao Yan didn't take the bowl, and said with a smile, "I'm just staring at you, and you can tell at a glance if you're unhappy."

Wei Chi also smiled, and said in a low voice after a while, "I just answered the phone, the principal called."

Xiao Yanwei pursed his lips, "What did you say?"

Wei Chi stopped holding the chopsticks, "Seven students in my class... will not go to school next year."

The hot pot was brought up again, and the sound of bubbling at the bottom of the pot made people feel a little noisy.

Wei Chi took the kettle on the side and added some hot water, the gurgling sound subsided, and a puff of white smoke rose, separating the two of them vaguely.

The corner of Wei Chi's mouth curved slightly, "Sometimes I feel quite useless."

Xiao Yanwei frowned, "Don't talk nonsense."

Wei Chi opened another can of wine for himself, "I have taught here for so many years, and I have taught several classes of students, but in fact, not many have really gone out, and very few have even finished junior high school."

Holding the can of Wei Chi wine in his hand, he didn't drink it right away, but stroked the can with his thumb, looking preoccupied.

Xiao Yan has never seen Wei Chi like this.

Wei Chi has many sides, sincere, enthusiastic, and out-of-the-ordinary, but none of them is sad and helpless.

Usually it was Wei Chi who comforted Xiao Yanwei, but this time it was reversed, Xiao Yanwei didn't know how to speak.

No words could comfort Wei Chi at this time.

Wei Chi is indeed great, but he is also one of the most ordinary among thousands of educators. What he has only is his enthusiasm for the post and the knowledge reserve that he can impart.

And when he stood on the podium, the number of students in the audience was less and less every day, and his knowledge was useless.

Those he wants to lead out of the mountains, he can't push, and he can't do anything.

Just like his mother who died on the front line of poverty alleviation that year.

Xiao Yan didn't reach out to turn off the fire, and the room became even quieter.

He went around the table and pulled Wei Chi up, who was already drunk, and the two walked to the short steps at the door and sat down. The cold wind blew over, making Wei Chi feel calm.

Wei Chi sighed lightly, imitating Xiao Yanwei and saying, "It's the New Year's Eve, I'm too disappointed."

The courtyard wall of Wei Chi's house is not very high, but it can also block the sight of the two of them looking over. They sat in the courtyard and couldn't see any scenery other than their own courtyard.

"Wei Chi," Xiao Yanwei leaned against Wei Chi, "don't you think it's a little brighter than usual tonight?"

"It's bright," Wei Chi said, "The lights will be turned on all night on New Year's Eve."

"But why do we feel that the lights in other people's homes are bright?" Xiao Yanwei asked.

Wei Chi turned his head to look at him, leaned over and kissed him on the side of the cheek, "It's a pity not to be a teacher."

Xiao Yan didn't look at Wei Chi, "Don't you understand everything?"

"The light of a lamp cannot be covered. As long as it is on, it will not make people feel that it is dark," Xiao Yanwei said. Persevere till the end."

Wei Chi nodded, admitting that he was not open-minded, "Actually, every time a student drops out, I feel quite uncomfortable."

"On the one hand, I really feel it's a pity," Wei Chi raised his head. "On the other hand, I really feel that I'm useless."

Xiao Yanwei also raised his head, at first he only saw a few bright stars, but when he wanted to count them, he realized that the sky was full of stars.

Some are brighter, some are darker, but they all really shine.

Xiao Yan didn't put his arms behind his back, and asked Wei Chi very slowly, "If I want to come to teach, what procedures should I go through?"

Wei Chi was stunned for a moment, looked at Xiao Yanwei, and didn't speak for a long time.

Xiao Yanwei tilted his head, jokingly said, "What's wrong? Teacher Wei doesn't want to be my colleague."

Wei Chi's shoulders and back were a little tense, as if he was in disbelief, and also as if he was overjoyed, but he still didn't respond.

Xiao Yanwei was very patient and looked at him quietly.

There were sparse and noisy firecrackers outside, which made the already unsettled night even more noisy. Under Xiao Yan's unserious and sincere gaze, Wei Chi spoke slowly.

"I don't want you to come." Wei Chi said.

"I thought you really wanted me to come." Xiao Yanwei said.

At the very beginning, Wei Chi really missed Xiao Yan's future.

It was also here at that time, Xiao Yanwei watched Wei Chi's lesson plans in the bedroom where the light was not strong, and asked Wei Chi if there were any teachers in the school, and Wei Chi welcomed Xiao Yanwei at that time.

But at this moment, Wei Chi frowned, "Xiao Yanwei, it's too bitter here."

Xiao Yanwei felt a fine soreness emerge from his heart, making every pore of him sad.

"What's the relationship?" Xiao Yanwei asked.

"I know you don't care," Wei Chi said plainly, "but I do."

After he finished speaking, he stood up and went back to the house, and quickly came out with a bag of beer.

Xiao Yanwei also took a can of beer, the outdoor temperature was very low, and the two of them wore very little clothes, the coolness and bitter liquid ran down their throats, Xiao Yanwei shivered.

Wei Chi adjusted his sitting posture, sat behind Xiao Yanwei, and wrapped Xiao Yanwei in his arms.

Wei Chi's body was very hot, and his heart was beating vigorously, which made Xiao Yanwei feel at ease.

Wei Chi took a sip of his wine, "When I first met you, I didn't know that you were so sad, but after I found out, I realized that I don't know how to help you."

It was rare for the two of them to talk about Xiao Yanwei's past so frankly.

"I can't describe how I feel when you're sad," Wei Chi thought for a while and said, "I feel empty inside."

"Things that make you sad, I can't persuade you to be optimistic." Wei Chi leaned on Xiao Yanwei's shoulder, "So my heart is empty, so empty that it hurts."

Wei Chi was drunk.

He spoke a little incoherently, he talked a lot, and he was a little fragile. He told Xiao Yanwei, "I have New Year's resolutions."

Xiao Yan didn't want to look back at his expression, but he felt comfortable in Wei Chi's arms, so he didn't move, "Tell me about it."

This time Wei Chi was silent for a long time, Xiao Yan waited patiently for him, and only after a while did he hear Wei Chi's answer, "I hope Xiao Yan won't like me so much."

Xiao Yanwei was stunned for a moment, turned around from his embrace, stared at him without speaking.

He made a big move, but Wei Chi didn't let go of him.

The two looked at each other in the dim light, Xiao Yanwei curled his lips, "Wei Chi, are you sick?"

Wei Chi looked at Xiao Yanwei, and vented his dissatisfaction with Xiao Yanwei through drinking, "You didn't tell me the truth at that time, you said you didn't want to jump down, but you just went there."

Xiao Yan didn't know what he said, he opened his mouth to refute, but he couldn't say anything when the words came to his mouth.

"I get scared every time I think about it," Wei Chi said, "Sometimes I think, Xiao Yanwei likes me so much, if something happens to me one day, what can Xiao Yanwei do."

Xiao Yan didn't lower his head, and bit his shoulder, "What nonsense are you talking about?"

"No nonsense," Wei Chi said drunkenly, "Xiao Yanwei, don't scare me from now on."

Wei Chi's voice was very gentle, Xiao Yanwei lowered his head and couldn't see his expression, but he still felt that Wei Chi must be afraid.

The tip of his nose reached Wei Chi's neck, and kissed his collarbone, "I'm sorry."

After that, the two of them didn't talk anymore, Wei Chi hugged Xiao Yan for a long time, and then talked about the topic just now.

Wei Chi said, "That's why I don't want you to come."

"It's such a small podium, but people with heavy responsibilities can't stand upright," Wei Chi said, "I don't worry about you."

Xiao Yanwei didn't insist anymore, because he was really not suitable now.

He touched Wei Chi's chin with his hand back, "Listen to you."

Wei Chi hugged him, "Then let me make another wish."

"Then you speak well." Xiao Yanwei said.

Wei Chi said, "I hope Xiao Yan can't be happier than he is now."

Xiao Yanwei didn't speak, Wei Chi saw Xiao Yanwei's eyes light up.

Then he heard Xiao Yanwei's stubborn voice, "I can't."

Wei Chi was quite drunk, but he also remembered that he didn't want Xiao Yanwei to cry, so Wei Chi said, "I'm sorry."

Xiao Yan didn't accept his apology, and said to him, "Wei Chi, do you have any other wishes?"

Wei Chi lowered his head and kissed Xiao Yanwei's fingertips, "I hope you will always be by my side."

"There are very few things I can do," Wei Chi said frankly, "Because there are many difficulties, my ability is limited."

"But if you are by my side, I still want to fight for many things and overcome many difficulties."

Xiao Yanwei blinked, "What does it have to do with me?"

Wei Chi put down the beer can, and hugged Xiao Yanwei with both hands, "If I see you, I won't feel so hard."

Xiao Yan didn't say, "Okay."

Outside of the Sunset Mountains, there are many mountains that are taller, steeper, and farther away from the word "open".

Generations of people have been living in the mountains, and groups of children have never escaped the consumption concept of mountain villages, but there are groups of people like Wei Chi who bring them a little bit of hope.

Wei Chi wrote down the lesson plan word by word, and the chalk dust covered the three-foot podium, sowing a dream in the hearts of the children.

Wei Chi is the dream maker of the children, and Xiao Yanwei is the witness of the dream maker.

Witness that he ignited the wildfire with his meager but determined strength.

The children caught a ray of sunlight, and Xiao Yanwei found his star deep in the mountain.
