real thing

Chapter 15

Chen Xi:

What a mess.

I stayed in the hospital for another two days before I was discharged. The other two people in the team were discharged earlier than me, and they recovered well, and they have resumed work.

Tang Yuting left on the night I was discharged from the hospital. Before leaving, he asked me if I wanted to go back with him. I shook my head and said that I wanted to spend two more days in Yunnan.

Tang Yuting didn't force it, and told me not to eat indiscriminately before leaving, with a troubled expression on his face, but he didn't say anything else.

I didn't need to participate in the subsequent shooting. I didn't follow Ah Jiang and the others. I walked around alone. The scenery was beautiful, but I didn't feel much relaxed. Maybe it was because I was just discharged from the hospital. I felt tired and tired after walking a few steps. Finally He didn't go anywhere at all, stayed in the hotel for a day, and went back after waiting for Ah Jiang and the others to finish filming.

As soon as I returned to Beijing from Yunnan, I told Ah Jiang that I was going to take a vacation, and I wanted to travel and change my mood.

I didn't know that when I was poisoned in Yunnan, I had already talked about breaking up with Tang Yuting. At that time, I was in a daze, thinking it was all hallucinations and auditory hallucinations, and I couldn't remember what I said or did. up.

Ah Jiang quickly approved my vacation application, and said to let me have fun, and go to work when I feel better.

In fact, I didn't even think about where to go. I took a map and looked at it for a day.

My eyes stayed in Tibet for a moment. I went to Tang Yuting once before. In the year I graduated, but above 3000 meters above sea level, my altitude sickness was very serious. It was Tang Yuting who took care of me. The originally planned half-month vacation came back after only staying for a week.

I shook my head, Tibet can't do it, Tibet can't do it by myself.

I was lying on the bed holding up the map to look at it when the phone rang, it was Xi You's call.

Xi You is a student sponsored by me and Tang Yuting, from the sixth grade until he is now in college. Last year, Xi You was admitted to a university. He is in a famous school in Beijing. He came here with me and Tang Yuting some time ago I ate.

We met Xi You when we were still in college, and Tang Yuting and his colleagues went to a mountainous area to do a research activity, and I was the follow-up photographer for that time.

In addition to some usual regular activities, several of us will also go to the school in the village to give lessons to the students.

Xi You is from the village. He was only 12 years old at that time. He and his father were the only ones at home. Xi You’s father injured his leg and waist in an accident. Yu had no choice but to drop out of school.

One night I went up to the mountain by myself to take pictures, and accidentally slipped and wanted to go back but got lost in the mountain. Tang Yuting was in a hurry to find me and took a group of people to the mountain. The person who led him was Xi You .

Xi You's father also knew how to treat bruises, and I stayed at Xi You's house for a few days when I was treating my feet.

Later, after I learned about the situation of Xi You’s family with Tang Yuting, I started to support Xi You’s schooling. At that time, Tang Yuting and I were students, and we didn’t have much money. After we went back, we organized a donation activity. A student grant foundation has also been established, and every year a part of the company's profits will be used to support children in mountainous areas. The most difficult years of Tangyuting Company have never been interrupted.

As soon as the phone call was made, Xi You told me that Tang Yuting and I had sent some special products from my hometown, and they would arrive tomorrow or the day after tomorrow.

Calculating the time, it happens to be summer vacation. I asked him, "Are you in your hometown now? I told you before that there is no need to send us anything."

"I'm in my hometown, Brother Xi, and I'm back from summer vacation," Xi You said with a smile on the phone, "I sent you tea leaves and peaches, and the peaches can't be stored for too long."

"Okay, I'll pay attention to sign for the express delivery then." I glanced at the map laid out on the bed, and my eyes lit up, "Xi You, I'm on vacation for a few days, and I'll go to the mountains to play with you in two days?"

After I finished speaking, I regretted it. This season happens to be busy in autumn, so if I go to Xi You's house now, I will inevitably trouble them.

Just about to change his words, Xi You was very happy: "Brother Xi, come here, my dad said a few days ago, let me deliver the things in person, my family is a bit busy these days, so I will send them over, you come to my dad I must be happy, I will tell him now."

There was a chatter on the phone for a while, followed by an unclear conversation, and soon a very old voice came over: "Chen Xi, come and play."

I wanted to change my words, but I didn't say anything in the end. Xi You asked me on the phone if I was going to Tangyu Court. I just found a reason, saying that he was busy with work and would not go.

As soon as I hung up the phone, I sent another message to Tang Yuting, asking him to pay attention to Xi You's courier.

I received a reply from Tang Yuting only the next morning. Tang Yuting replied at around [-]:[-] last night, and there were only three words. I see.

I went back to my parents' house to have a meal first. My parents didn't mention Tang Yuting this time. I told them to go out for a few days. My father asked me who was there, and I said I was just going to Xi You's house.

My parents knew about Xi You, they didn't say anything, they brought me a lot of things before they left, and asked me to bring them to Xi You and his father.

I am already familiar with the way to Xi You's house. Before Xi You went to college, Tang Yuting and I would go to Xi You's house several times a year.

It takes more than half a day to drive, and it takes more than an hour to drive on the mountain road. Before I went to Tang Yuting, I switched driving with Tang Yuting. This time, I stopped at the service area three times. I set off in the morning and the sun was about to set. I just arrived.

In the evening, the mountains and forests are covered with a layer of red sunset glow, and strands of golden streamer continuously flash through the car windows in the dense forest sea. It is very beautiful, but also lonely for no reason.

I was afraid that Xi You and the others didn't tell them the specific day I would go because I went to do special work.

When I arrived, Xi You and the others were having dinner, I drove the car directly into the small courtyard of his house, Xi You heard the sound from the house, and ran out without putting down the chopsticks.

"Brother Xi, you're here."

I brought a lot of things in the car, and after getting off the car, I asked Xi You to come over and help me carry it.

Xi You put the chopsticks in his mouth and was about to help me carry things. I smiled and patted him on the forehead, "Put the chopsticks in and come back again. There is no one with chopsticks in their mouths like that."

Xi You smiled, turned around and ran into the house. When he came out again, there was a boy beside Xi You. He looked about the same age as Xi You, but he was not from the village at a glance. The clothes are all very expensive brands, and they look like they grew up in a wealthy family, and they are white and clean.

Xi You pulled him to introduce me: "Brother Xi, this is my classmate, Ling Zijun, who came to play with me during the summer vacation."

"This is Brother Xi I always told you about." Xi You introduced me to Ling Zijun again.

"Brother Xi, hello." Ling Zijun nodded to me as a greeting.

I also responded with a smile and greeted them to help me move things.

"Brother Xi, come as soon as you come, why do you bring so many things?"

I carried a box of chilled food in my hand, "Some of them were brought by my parents, and I have to disturb you for a few days."

"Don't bother, don't bother, thank uncle and aunt for me."

"It's all right," I said, "where's your dad?"

"Just had dinner and slept in the room."

I lowered my voice, and Xi You said again: "It's okay, my dad can't hear me, he's sleeping."

"How is he doing recently?"

"It's still the same, with good times and bad days."

Xi You told Ling Zijun that he wanted to cook me another meal, but I said no, they didn't stop, they rolled up their sleeves and went to the kitchen, but refused to let me intervene, poured me a glass of water, and asked me to sit and rest.

After driving the car for a long time, I was indeed a little tired, my waist was sore and my legs hurt, and I thought to myself that I was almost thirty, maybe I was old.

It is said that people love memories when they are old. I lay in bed at night, extremely tired but unable to fall asleep, staring at the light bulb on the roof with my sore eyelids propped up.

The wattage of the light bulb is not large, and the light is dim yellow. It is easy to get dizzy after looking at it for a long time. When I blink, the eye sockets are sour, and tears come out.

That year I sprained my foot on the mountain, and Xi You’s father helped me heal my foot. I have been living in Xi You’s house, and I lived in this room at that time. Tang Yuting said he was worried that I was here alone, and stayed with me in Xi You’s house. live.

The two of us were squeezed together on this small single bed. At that time, I actually felt that Tang Yuting's enthusiasm for me was beyond the normal social range.

And ever since he said that he had dreamed of me, Tang Yuting opened up a lot, his skin became thicker, he didn't hide it anymore, and blatantly approached me every day.

Except when you are busy with serious business, what is on your lips all day is Chen Xi?Have you seen Chen Xi?Where is Chen Xi?

In a few days, other people also noticed it, and Tang Yuting didn't deliberately hide his sexuality before, some people in the team knew it well, and then they kept making jokes about me and Tang Yuting.

I admit that I also have a good impression of Tang Yuting, from the first meeting.

After returning from Qingdao, my mobile phone was held in my hand all day long. At that time, I couldn't explain why I was looking forward to Tang Yuting's call so much.

Later, I never received Tang Yuting’s phone call and added it on WeChat, because I was depressed for several days. I wanted to delete Tang Yuting’s photos in the camera several times, but I still didn’t delete them, and even washed the photos. It came out and was stuffed in my photo album, at the bottom, in a place where I wouldn't see it unless I flipped through it.

I was only nineteen that year. I was so young. I was even impulsive. The people in our dormitory saw that I was depressed and asked me if I was broken in love.

I also said with a sad face that it was probably similar to falling out of love.

After all, he was still young, and he only met once, and he forgot it after a long time. Later, he couldn't even remember Tang Yuting.

That's when he suddenly appeared again, and we were so close, we were in the same school, and he was right in front of us.

The sun was shining on his face, and Tang Yuting was covered with a warm yellow filter. I may never forget that scene.

On the first night when Tang Yuting and I lived at Xi You's house, I fiddled with the photos in my camera and found out the one I took at the beach in Qingdao and showed it to him.

"I wanted to send you the photos before, but you haven't contacted me since then, and the photos are still in my house."

Tang Yu Ting looked at it narcissistically for a long time and said, "It's so handsome."

I laughed and said how he was so thick-skinned, he was still playing with my camera.

I asked him again: "Tell me, what did you dream about me that day?"

"I dreamed that I was lost, and I followed the scent to find you."

"And then?" I asked.

"Then I didn't catch up, and I woke up."

I lowered my head and said "oh", Tang Yuting looked at me, her eyes were shining, and said seriously: "Then when I opened my eyes, I saw the person I was looking for in my dream, standing beside my bed , reality is more beautiful than dreams.”

I turned my back to him, and cursed in my heart: Fuck, Tang Yuting is too fucking alluring, who can resist this?

Later, I really didn't hold back, and after returning to school, we established our relationship.

Before dawn, I heard movement outside. Xi You and Ling Zijun woke up. They should be going to pick tea on the mountain. I saw the tea picking basket in the house last night.

I also turned on the light and got up to get dressed.

Xi You's father also woke up, and slowly walked out of the room on crutches. Ling Zijun ran over to support his arm, saw me stunned, and asked me with a smile: "Chen Xi, when did you come?"

"I came here last night." I pulled out a stool and put it beside Xi You's father, letting him sit on the chair.

"I fell asleep last night, why didn't you call me?" Xi You's father was hard of hearing, so his voice naturally became much louder.

I walked towards him and raised my voice: "Just take a good rest, don't worry about me, I'm here to play."

"Then have fun for a few days, the air in the mountains is good."

The air in the mountains is really good. After breakfast, I went up the mountain with Xi You and the others, and the whole journey was filled with the fragrance of tea.

The tea field in Xi You's house is not too big, and it's not far away, just a short walk on the mountain road.

I stood on the field stalk, the sun came out and shone on my back, it was warm, I squinted my eyes and raised my head to take a few breaths of the air full of tea fragrance, mixed with the smell of wet dew, very comfortable.

In the past, Xi You taught me and Tang Yuting how to pick tea, but the speed was a bit slow.

I was carrying a bamboo basket on my back to slowly pick green tea leaves, while Xi You taught Ling Zijun over and over again at the other end.

I slept in Xi You's room last night. Xi You and Ling Zijun slept in another room. Yesterday I realized that Ling Zijun should like Xi You. People's eyes can't deceive others. When he looked at Xi You, his eyes Li's love is almost written on his face.

But Xi You might not have gotten the hang of it yet, and still foolishly regarded him as a good classmate.

Xi You knew about my relationship with Tang Yuting, and Tang Yuting and I didn't hide it every time we came, and we haven't figured it out yet, maybe it's because we don't like boys at all.

I looked at Ling Zijun, who was like me, carrying a tea basket on his back, trying to learn how to pick tea, and sighed in my heart, wondering what the two of them would be like in the future.

About five years ago, Tang Yuting and I, like Ling Zijun, learned how to pick tea from Xi You. Tang Yuting learned things faster than me, and while laughing at me, he played tricks and dragged all the tea I just picked to his own bamboo. I was tired for a long time, and when I looked back, the tea leaves in the bamboo basket were just laying the bottom, and when I looked at the tea leaves in Tang Yuting, they were already on the tip.

I knew what was going on, and I was so angry that I sat on the ground and didn't move. I wiped the mud on my hands, and my face was black.

Tang Yuting coaxed me for a long time, I ignored him and didn’t move. Finally, he changed his bamboo basket with mine, and I was fine immediately. I stood up and patted the dirt on my buttocks, and carried his bamboo basket on my back. keep working.

I thought I was very strong, and I was working very hard with a big basket of tea on my back. When I turned around, I saw Tang Yuting picking tea with his left hand and dragging the bottom of my bamboo basket with his right hand, and he never let go.

No wonder I can't feel the weight on my shoulders, because someone is dragging it underneath.

Thinking about it now, I still find it funny. At that time, I would get angry if I made a joke, but it would be fine if I coaxed it.

The sky will be cloudy and the sky will be sunny, as if nothing is impossible.
