go the same way

Chapter 27

That's their home, it's been there since the beginning.

It’s just that Nie Xunqiu didn’t understand in the past, Li Pei was like a stubborn craftsman, sitting on the ground, using the simplest tools, and concentrating on carving out the shape of his heart little by little. When the nest got a stick, it lost the key and wandered alone outside the door for many years.

Li Pei gently pressed Nie Xunqiu from behind, his body temperature was all over his chest, and his bones trembled faintly because of his words.

Home may not be a rare word.

But he knew that Nie Xunqiu was a person who traveled far all his life.

He clasped his wrist, slightly tightened the hug, his eyes brushed against the back of Nie Xunqiu's neck and ears, and his heart melted under the bright sunlight.

"Summer is here, plant another small pot of mint and make sparkling water for me to drink."

Be sweet.

The day Li Pei was discharged from the hospital was the weekend, and Nie Xunqiu had been busy for a week. When he was stepping on the shade of a tree to pick up someone, he received a temporary emergency call. A serious traffic accident occurred on the highway from the neighboring city to the city. The incident happened suddenly, so he had to change direction and turn back.

Some regrets, but Li Pei can clearly distinguish the priorities.

The DVD was returned, and all the potted flowers were moved back by Nie Xunqiu the night before. The room lost its colorful colors, and it didn't seem to become much spacious.He changed into comfortable and loose clothes, carefully folded and flattened the hospital gown, and put it on the pillow. After that, he called Li Yan and started working on the luggage again.

Four candy wrappers and a stack of chess games drawn on the paper constituted the quiet night they spent together in this ward.

Li Yan watched him put the stack of papers neatly into the bag, and remembered that his younger brother also loved "picking up junk" so much, and many small things seemed to carry special meanings.

Xiaopei always felt that there was the sound of the sea in the shell, and he could hear the sound of the ship leaving the shore when he put it in front of his ears. A stone that is worthless in the eyes of others, because a little bit is enough for him to imagine the pattern of a short story, is like Diamonds with brilliance and fire are even more precious to him.

Parallel world?

Everyone seems to be non-parallel. Minutiae places are unique, but there are always intersections that gather in one place. No matter which time and space you travel to, those intersections are like stars, shining brightly.

It's such a gentle concept.

Li Yan lowered his head, and the corners of his mouth raised unconsciously. He heard the sound of the zipper closing, and asked, "Have you put it away?"

"Well, I didn't bring much. Dr. Nie has something to do, so I have to ask you to give it to me."

"It's not a troublesome matter," Li Yan took the luggage, "Where will I take you?"

Li Yan asked this question, which means that he knows where to go is not a single choice.

Li Pei paused: "Go to where I lived before."

"Okay," Li Yan chuckled and rubbed Li Pei's head, "Have you really thought about it? Is it your own decision?"

"Well," Li Pei's hair was messed up by the big hand, and he didn't take care of it immediately, "Now that we have gotten to know each other again, let's be brave and get along with each other at a closer distance. In the future, can we still get along together? In the past, the biggest estrangement between me and him was the death of my eldest brother, but I think our death is enough to cancel this debt. You live happily in this world, and I have nothing It’s scary, so I want to follow up and see, maybe we are really the most suitable people for each other.”

Li Pei asked herself if she still loves Nie Xunqiu.

He didn't have time to hesitate, his beating heart had already said everything.

Li Yan sent him to the elevator, reported a few dishes when he left, and planned to go to the vegetable market, buy some ingredients, start a fire, and solve the food for Li Pei for the day. Nie Xunqiu would probably be busy until night, so let him come back I can't count on cooking, and I have to take care of my younger brother with his elder brother.

Li Pei was still listening to him chanting in his mind, the number of the elevator jumped to eight, the key was easy to find, he found the rough pink and white fur ball in his bag, and pulled it out effortlessly, the one that landed on his palm happened to be The one that opens the door.

The weather is a bit stuffy, the humidity is higher than usual, and it may rain later, but it still feels dry and clear when entering the door, as if it has been exposed to the sun for a long time.The furniture and furnishings remained the same as when he left. Everything was cleaned very cleanly, except that there was an extra pair of slippers at the door, and a meal card from the hospital cafeteria was left on the shoe cabinet in the entrance.

On the sofa was a white shirt of Nie Xunqiu, without stains or smell of sweat, probably because he was too busy to put it in the closet after washing it. Li Pei did not touch it, put down his luggage, walked to the balcony, and found that it was rich and beautiful More than a star and a half.

In addition to the freesia, eustoma, and peonies that were brought to the hospital before, Nie Xunqiu also set aside a corner for the vigorously growing petunia, and specially built a shelf for the vine's rose to climb, forming a luxuriant tree. flower wall.

It was messy, like a semi-finished product, and there were still some branches and leaves on the ground that hadn't been swept away, and there were cuttings and a pair of gloves that couldn't be completely flattened.The broad and strong back seemed to appear in front of his eyes, and he used the only time at night, taking advantage of the moonlight and a dim light, to patiently build this garden on a tall building for him.

Just to welcome him home.

In the afternoon, the sky began to turn cloudy, leaden gray clouds gathered together in a large area, and it rained heavily.

The hospital where Nie Xunqiu worked received fifteen seriously injured patients, and three [-]-level laminar flow operating rooms were opened at the same time. He participated in one case of intracranial surgery and two cases of bone and joint surgery. He stopped for half an hour at noon for After eating to replenish his strength, he continued to work without interruption until night. He did not let out a long breath until he woke up the last patient.

He changed his surgical gown, went to the office to pack his things and was about to leave. When his colleague opened the window and heard the sound of heavy rain, the doctor was worried: "It was fine when I came out in the morning, but the sky changed at night."

Nie Xunqiu used to brave the rain to go to the company to succeed Li Pei, but now he keeps an umbrella on his desk and is used to giving it to others.

He gave the umbrella to the female doctor who worked overtime with him. There was no one else in the outpatient clinic on the first floor, and the footsteps on the ground seemed to echo.At this time, the gate seemed to be one-way, only going out but not going in. A thin figure holding an umbrella broke through the rain and walked towards him.

The man closed the umbrella under the eaves, with the tip of the umbrella facing outwards, and using his wrists vigorously, he shook off the excess water droplets on the umbrella, but a small puddle quickly formed at the place where he stopped.The rain soaked the toes of his shoes and splashed on his trousers. Only the shoulders and hair that were completely covered by the umbrella were still dry.

Li Pei was wearing a white shirt.

It's just that the shirt didn't fit well, the shoulder line slipped down, and the sleeves were too long, so they had to be rolled up, revealing a thin white wrist.It's like suddenly feeling cold before going out, so I found one to protect against the wind and rain.

It was the clothes he forgot on the sofa.

Li Pei returned to their home.

He has always acted as that umbrella, but he never thought that one day, he would be missed.

Worrying about whether he brought an umbrella and whether he would get caught in the rain, it would be inconvenient for him to go home.

Maybe the rain was too heavy, covering his eyes so densely that only the thin clear shadow was left. Nie Xunqiu missed a beat, and then seemed to speed up, urging him to Li Pei's place. around.

Li Pei still held a folding umbrella in his hand, the purpose was obvious, Nie Xunqiu stopped asking questions, he stretched out his hand and wiped the water droplets on Li Pei's cheeks: "It's not good to catch a cold in the rain."

"I came here by car, and I only need to walk a few steps. If my shoes are wet, just change them at home." Li Pei gave the big umbrella in his hand to Nie Xunqiu, and went to unfold it by himself. "Taxi is not impossible. , but it’s not easy to wait, it’s better to buy a car, so that commuting to and from work is convenient.”

Nie Xunqiu nodded. He had never had time to change his driver's license before. Thinking about it this way, it is indeed necessary to have a means of transportation.He said: "Actually, I have an umbrella, but a girl in the department didn't bring it. I thought she needed it more than me, so I gave it to her. I told her not to return it."

If it is not returned, there will be no reason for personal communication.

Li Pei smiled: "Well, it is a joy to praise Dr. Nie for helping others. There is no reward, so let's go."

As he said, he opened the not-so-big folding umbrella, and when he was about to walk into the rain, his wrist was suddenly grabbed, and the big umbrella opened in response, enough for the two of them to avoid the rain.

"Your one is a bit small, come with me."

Such a heavy rain, accompanied by the sound of the wind, has nothing to do with romance.

But under the umbrella, their warm arms are close to each other, so they fit together, and their steps are tacitly uniform, and the umbrella above their heads will not be deviated due to the staggered speed. Slanted, the two sleeves were wet from the rain, but they belonged to different ones, one left and one right.

They returned to the apartment, followed several similar tracks from the water droplets dripping from the trouser legs and umbrella, and finally stopped in front of a door on the eighth floor.

"I'll take the key."

The sensor light turned on immediately, revealing the two people who were a little bit embarrassed.Li Pei's shoulders were half wet, and the ill-fitting shirt was tightly attached to the skin, revealing the slender lines inside, but the other side was still dry and crisp, asymmetrical, but with an indescribable beauty.

The light is warm yellow, as if warming up the suddenly cold air.

There is almost only the sound of breathing outside the quiet door, the light can't last for a few seconds, the brightness gradually decreases, and finally the darkness returns, as if no one has ever been here.

They kiss in the darkened doorway.

Moist, lingering, and possessive.
