Chapter 31:

The door opened and closed.
The door lock made a slight click with a "click", and the last inch of light coming out of the door disappeared.
Qi Qi closed his eyes at this moment, like a blind man groping in the dark, helpless and hesitant, and could only rely on hearing and touch to find his home.
And his destination first found him.
"Qi Qi." For the first time, came from such a short distance.
Shen Yan's voice, his name-and the emotions that overflow when the two are combined. He was like an embankment at tide, submerged by it, willing to be immersed in it.
The hand that held him before was released, and this time, he gently held his back and let him lean on his shoulder. Taking into account the plaster at his fracture, this hug didn't even use force. He just wrapped his arms around with great restraint, enclosing a very private but warm world between them.
So warm.
Qi Qi gasped and pressed her forehead against the shoulder in front of him, buried her face in his shirt, opened her eyes halfway, and blinked in a trance.
The right hand gripped the corner of his shirt tightly like a drowner grabbed a life-saving straw.
I have always been afraid of falling. When he really fell, he was afraid that the other party would let go, open the hard cocoon, and allow the inner fragility to be exposed, and let that person temporarily block all the ups and downs for him.
Only when he understood the stability of two people, he realized that one person was wandering.
There are times when a lone boat needs to dock, right?
"Shen Yan," he mumbled, and asked indifferently, "Are you ... are you?"
"Yes." The unclear question has a very clear answer.
Qi Qi took a long breath, like sighing and joy, as if the tired person finally fell asleep and closed his eyes again.
At first, the hand tightly holding Shen Yan's clothes was finally released. With a little tremor, he slowly moved up, his palms laid flat, and he embraced the broad back without turning back.
It doesn't matter anymore.
Whatever the ending, he was eager to start.
Moreover, it is not a repeat of the same mistakes, absolutely not. Because ... that person is Shen Yan. Shen Yan is different.
What I have learned so far has been peace of mind, warmth, and happiness-completely different.
The house returned to silence.
The sound of wall clocks passing by one second in a second, the sound of raindrops bubbling behind the window, and the dripping sound under the faucet for a long time, is very clear at this moment.
Language has lost its use. Two people snuggled quietly in this dim corner behind the door, isolated from the world, and became unique to each other.
Shen Yan's face was sideways, his cheeks were close to his sideburns, half of his face was buried in his hair, and his brows were frowning--it was a bitter and forbearing expression that he was not willing to touch further. Fingers slowly groped upwards along the contours of the back of the neck, staggered one by one, and penetrated into those soft hairs, gently touching it as if treating an extremely cherished object.
The touch on the scalp was a little itchy, warm and comfortable.
Can't help but get closer.
The tip of the nose touched Shen Yan's auricle and slowly rubbed it unconsciously. Occasionally, one or two locks of hair touched his cheeks, and inexplicably sweetness came from deep in his throat.
At the beginning, the intense pulse had subsided.
At this moment, he could still feel the strong heartbeat from one chest to the next to his knot, hitting his chest heavily, but he would not have difficulty breathing. It's just that the body temperature can't go down.
The table full of food was the opposite, and it didn't take long.
"Meals ... It's getting cold." The sound sounded like a high fever. The throat seems to be burnt out. This sentence was completely read out with breath, and the five words were light and weightless.
"Well." Shen Yan agreed softly, but did not see any movement.
Qi Zi himself was motionless, staying quietly in his arms, eyes closed, listening to the same powerful heartbeat from the other person's chest.
The precious moments will feel short no matter how long they are. So it's good to quietly indulge.
It's a pity that the continuous "beep" sound from the mobile phone broke this kind of tranquility. The loud bell awakened the two of them at once, Qi Qi took a light breath, unconsciously a little jealous, and withdrew slightly from each other's arms to separate from them. At this time, Shen Yan was also awake from her confusion, and seemed to remember something. She shook her head helplessly and had to withdraw her hand to get the mobile phone around her waist and turn off the alarm.
"You set the time?" Just now is the timer function. Qi Qi couldn't guess his intentions, and was curious.
"Well, it was set when I went downstairs for half an hour." Shen Yan sighed low, "It's because I'm not good, I completely forgot this matter."
"What do you do for half an hour?" Qi Ziyi was curious.
Shen Yan stopped talking, and slightly looked away: "I thought then ... If you don't reply to the text message, or you don't want me to call, then after half an hour there has been no response, I must come back and see . "
Qi Qi was dumbfounded, and when he recovered, his lips twitched up involuntarily. He laughed out loud, lowered his head, and leaned gently on his shoulder socket. His right hand stretched silently to retrieve his left hand. Hold it naturally. Maintaining this posture, he chuckled for a while again: "Don't ... do you worry what stupid thing I will do?"
On the one hand, I thought on the other: if it is not half an hour, but one hour or even longer, how good.
Shen Yan's hand was gently held back, as gently as his voice: "More than that, you were sick yesterday, and you almost fell into a cup. Something is afraid of this."
After all, take some distance away, lift your right hand on Qi Qi's forehead, and test the temperature.
Qi Qi still lowered her face, lowered her eyes, and whispered: "... Dr. Shen, you are definitely not sure about it now."
Of course not.
At this time, I was burning like a ball of fire-wrapped paper, which could burn at any time. Calling him deliberately deliberately makes him embarrassed and hides the temperature on his face.
Shen Yan was stunned by the words "Dr. Shen", his palm moved, and it seemed to mean pulling away from his forehead. This is what Qi Qi expected. What Qi Qi did not expect was that Shen Yan's movement stopped halfway, and his fingers touched his forehead again. This time, instead of staying, he gently flicked his hair lock to the side until he pushed his hair into the hair. . The palm of his hand just touched his ear.
"It's really hot."
Shen Yan smiled at him.
The first time he saw his smile at such a short distance, Qi Qi was stunned, and this reflected what he said. For a time, he was more embarrassed than Shen Yan just now. He coughed twice and staggered. Sight.
I never thought of myself who would never lose in verbal ridicule, and there were times when there were no countermeasures.
When they returned to the table, the food on the table was all cold.
Shen Yan reheated everything in a microwave oven, the soup pot was put directly back on the stove to boil, and then returned to the same end, the two continued to finish the meal.

But Qi Qi found that if Shen Yan was sitting opposite him, this lunch might be able to eat and drink for an hour or two. Because although the mood has stabilized at this time, the eyes will still look involuntarily, and the movements in the hand will naturally become dull, and the chopsticks will not move for a long time-not to mention, he will occasionally meet the look of the other side .
"We look like this, this meal can be eaten into the evening and eaten together as supper." Qi Qin smiled first.
After untie the knot, he faced Shen Yan more calmly than before.
Shen Yan probably realized what he meant, thoughtfully, and then stood up gently, leaving the original seat, and actually moved another chair to sit down on Qi Qi's right hand side.
"Is it better now?" Shen Yan asked softly.
"Huh." Qi Xiao looked at him for a while, nodding with a smile. Although this position can't be done face-to-face, eye-to-eye, it's nice that people are within reach.
Not only that, sitting side by side is also convenient for them to add dishes to each other's bowls, if they do not consider that both sides will often cause chopsticks to collide.
With the sound of "ta", for the third time I heard two pairs of chopsticks touching in the air, Qi Qi was really amused.
Smile back to smile, the heart is still warm. He put down the food calmly and sternly said: "Okay, okay, I have enough here, I guess you have enough, so from now on we will eat each one. Or else, you can really eat it dinner time."
Shen Yan heard the words and silently withdrew the chopsticks, but then did not move the chopsticks. After a while, he said, "You have stayed for dinner too."
Qi Qi froze.
Seeing that the time was almost two o'clock in the afternoon, they ate late for this lunch, and the dinner must be postponed. What does Shen Yan mean ... Is it to stay here all this time?
Like looking for an excuse, Shen Yan added in a low voice: "If it continues to rain, it is not convenient to go out."
Hearing this sentence, Qi Zi subconsciously looked out the window. As one of the loyal viewers, he clearly remembered yesterday ’s weather forecast that once said that today ’s rain will weaken in the afternoon, and it may even turn cloudy. The meteorological bureau, which had always been less precise, was right this time. The sound of rainwater hitting the glass had disappeared. The rest of the dripping sound came from the eaves, but it was just the rainwater accumulated on the roof.
Even if it rains, it should be drizzle. Does not hinder travel at all.
Qi Qi felt for the first time that the accurate weather forecast made him feel lost.
"Well ... it's really not easy to go out when it rains." He planned to ignore the weather changes outside and pretend to be confused.
"Qi Qi."
The person beside him suddenly called him at this moment.
After a long silence, Shen Yan sat up slightly. The sitting posture reminded Qi Qi of answering an unfamiliar question in the classroom when she was a student in her previous years. She was so worried that she was afraid to say any word wrong.
"If, I said if." Shen Yan also glanced out the window, and the situation outside was clear at a glance. When the eyes were taken back, they fell gently on Qi Qi, and there was an unshakable attachment in the voice, "If it does not continue to rain outside in the afternoon, it will be clear-I will go back with you, you will pack up what you need, temporarily Move here and live until you remove the plaster. "
Regardless of whether it is fine or rainy, the decision is all about eating.
The difference is that when it rains, it is a meal, and if it is fine, there are other things besides the one-month meal.
Regardless of whether such an agreement is sensible or logical, when Qi Qi came back to God, he was already standing by the window, looking out at the fine, fluffy rain.
At this time, Shen Yan had packed the dishes on the table and was doing cleaning work alone in the kitchen. The sound of squeaky tap water coming from a wall is very light and pleasant, and the ceramic tableware makes a crisp collision sound. These life-filled sounds come from another person. For him who has lived alone for many years, it is also very good. strange.
After all, this house full of humanity is completely different from its cold apartment.
The people living inside are naturally different.
To be honest, Qi Chen didn't know that she would like it to be sunny or rain.
The residual temperature of the man is still there. It is undeniable that he is very attached to this temperature, and the man who brought it. It is precisely because of the warmth attached to Shen Yan that I want to take it out slowly and gradually.
He was afraid that he was too greedy, and in case of an overdraft, they would disappear.
"What are you thinking?" I don't know when the people in the kitchen have finished their work and come to the side.
"Nothing." Qi Qin smiled faintly. He decided to leave everything to this rain decision.
Shen Yan's pair of dark black eyes stared at him quietly, as always, gentle, without any aggressive meaning, so Qi Qi would not express his thoughts because of a sense of oppression even if he looked at him. Shen Yan has given him personal space and a sense of tolerance, and has always been one of his favorite parts.
"There are some books and magazines under the coffee table. If you want to read them, you can read them."
"Okay."
Qi Qi agreed to come down. In fact, he did not plan to read the books, but just wanted to see what Shen Yan usually reads, so as to understand each other better.
Reaching out a book at random under the coffee table, he was stunned when he saw the title of the cover.
It was a borrowed book, because there were still library entries on the books, and the cover was also on the title page. There was a book registration card on the title page. If Qi Qi ’s own name did not appear on the registration card.
"Strange ..." He blinked, and unbelievably swiped his finger across the card. It was indeed his name. And he still has a fresh memory of this book, "I used to borrow this book in the provincial library."
A steel stamp with a date was stamped behind his name.
July is clearly marked.
At that time, in order to collect information about bird culture for the science and education channel, I borrowed this book from the library, and I was naturally impressed.
"I know," Shen Yan looked away gently, and seemed uncomfortable, "because I purposely borrowed it back."
Qi Qi was taken aback.
What surprised him the most was not that Shen Yan borrowed this book deliberately, but why Shen Yan knew he had borrowed it: "How do you know I borrowed this book?"
Shen Yan did not answer immediately.
Qi Chen looked at the borrowing card blankly, and was surprised: Did Shen Yan just happen to see the name on the borrowing card? The Provincial Library has at least tens of millions of books. With such a huge number of books, the possibility of such a coincidence is simply lower than that of the lottery.
The day he went to borrow a book, it was indeed him, the librarian, and ...
what.
The memory suddenly became clear, and it seemed that the row of bookshelves and the window at the end of the aisle at the end of the day appeared.
The light from the window was so dazzling that it obliterated the people standing there and could not see the outline clearly. I only remember a slight white, and the man looked at him motionlessly in the white light.
Qi Qi took a deep breath and opened her eyes subconsciously.
"It's you……?"
"It's me." Shen Yan still lowered his eyes, sighed softly, and smiled bitterly, "I already knew you didn't ask about the return date."
