Chapter 88

"What's the matter in the end..." Sitting on the sofa in the living room, Xu Qichen asked Xia Zhixu in a low voice, "why don't you tell me..."

Summer mother from the kitchen side to a plate of cut oranges, "you eat some fruit, have you had breakfast, I'll give you some noodles?"

Xu Qichen strange embarrassed, summer mother approached him subconsciously stood up.

"Sit down, sit down." Summer mother smile a face amiable, push him back to the sofa.

Xia's father also came out of the bedroom, "why don't you give them wonton? Didn't you wrap it fresh yesterday?" He said, went to another sofa and sat down, "the three delicacies wonton made by your aunt is very fragrant. Eat more later."

Xu Qichen quickly nodded with a smile, he did not know what the situation is now. Looking at Xia Zhixu's parents so kind, he felt sorry in his heart.

Maybe they think their son is bringing his friends home to play.

If they know the truth, will they be furious?

A lot of strange pictures began to appear in his mind, such as Xia Zhixu kneeling on the ground in tears, Xia's mother fainting on the ground, Xia's father yelling "I'll kill you this villain" and so on

"What do you think?" Xia Zhixu bumped his arm, "are you still sleepy?"

Xu Qichen shook his head without saying a word.

"Oranges?"

Xu Qichen shook his head.

"Tea?"

Xu Qichen still shook his head.

Xia knew that Xu was happy. He whispered in his ear, "little friend Xu, you are so nervous."

Xu Qichen glared at him and moved to the side as if to avoid suspicion. He looked at Xia's father. Fang Zheng pressed the remote control and turned on the morning news.

"Qichen." Xia's father suddenly opened his mouth. Xu Qichen was startled by this name. He was like a child who didn't want to answer the question but was named by the teacher. He shook for a moment and answered weakly, "ah..."

Xia's father laughed and said kindly, "don't be afraid. I just want to ask, did you follow Professor Wang dunshan when you went to university?"

Xu Qichen feels puzzled, summer father how can know these, he nodded, "Hmmm."

"Oh, that's you," said Xia's father with a smile. "Professor Wang is my old classmate. We often contact each other. A few years ago, he always mentioned to me one of his favorite students, also called Xu Qichen. I thought this name was very interesting, so I remembered it. I didn't expect it to be you. "

So, Xu Qichen said with a modest smile, "it's Professor Wang who is willing to trouble me."

Xia's father shook his head. "He said that you have talent. Most of the children now live in a carefree environment and have no compassion for literature creation. Lao Wang often said that Xiao Xu was born with a feeling of compassion, which is very rare for literary creation. " He took a sip of water. "I've seen what you wrote, and it's really good."

Xia Zhixu, who was also drinking water, choked. Xu Qichen glanced at him, touched his knee and whispered, "your father said that I wrote the book in my own name."

"Oh, so," Xia Zhixu put down the cup with a smile, "Dad, you go on."

"A magazine I have been subscribing to included an essay you wrote last month, which I think is very interesting. Nowadays, when writing essays, most people tend to criticize reality with sharp and pungent writing style, especially like to imitate Lu Xun's style. However, the style of your essays is very calm, but the inner core is very cruel, with a feeling of undercurrent surging. "

Xia Zhi and Xu said with a smile, "my father is the only" Youth "of literature and art in our family. He has always despised me and my brother, two engineering men without literary literacy. Now he has finally found a bosom friend. It's not easy."

He deliberately reread a few words without literary accomplishment. Xu Qichen bowed his head and laughed, "thank you, uncle Xia. I didn't expect you to read my article. I'm really ashamed."

Originally, Xia's father still wanted to talk, but Xia's mother suddenly came out of the kitchen and said, "don't talk about it. Come and eat wonton. The children are hungry."

Xia Zhixu pushes Xu Qichen up, takes him to the dining table and sits beside him. Xia's father and mother sit opposite them.

"Eat more. Breakfast must be better. You young people don't like breakfast now. It's bad for your health." Mother Xia put the spoon in the bowl in front of Xu Qichen.

"Thank you, auntie."

Xu Qichen scooped one and put it into his mouth. The skin of the hot small wonton was thin and the stuffing was big. He bit it down in one bite, and his mouth was full of fragrance.

"Is it delicious?"

Xu Qichen nodded with a smile.

Eating, he found that his mother had been staring at him with a kind of loving eyes. Xu Qichen put down his spoon and touched his face, "is there anything on my face..."

Summer mother laughed, "no, no, I just think you look good-looking, white, a look is a good child."Xu Qichen buried his head and felt very embarrassed. He didn't know what to say, so he had to eat wonton one by one. Occasionally, he looked up at the three members of the family and talked about their newly married brother and sister-in-law. He felt very warm.

He hasn't felt the most common family atmosphere for a long time. Since he went to university, he and his aunt only met on vacation. Besides, he grew up and it was not convenient to live together. After graduation, he moved out and lived alone for three years.

Now all of a sudden into this atmosphere, he felt like in the wild frozen rabbit suddenly rescued, wrapped in a thick blanket on the fireplace.

After breakfast, Xu Qichen immediately picked up the dishes and chopsticks, "Auntie, I'll help you."

Xia's mother, who was carrying several bowls, gave him a smile and said, "well, just help me put it in the kitchen."

Xu Qichen put the dish into the sink, rolled up his sleeve and turned on the tap. Xia's mother came in, "Oh, it's all said to put it down. You can watch TV with them."

"Soon, let me help you." Xu Qichen insisted on washing the dishes, but Xia's mother did not stop her. She stood by and watched.

I washed two bowls and put them on the table. Summer mother suddenly touched Xu Qichen's head.

"Son, you've worked hard for so many years."

Xu Qichen stopped washing dishes, holding a bowl in his wet hand. He turned his head and looked at Xia's mother with doubts and amazement in his eyes.

When Xia Zhixu brought himself in, Mingming only introduced his name to them, and didn't say anything else.

"In fact, as soon as you come in, I know it's you." Mother Xia smiles very gently.

Xia Zhixu's three-dimensional outline is the same as his father's, but his eyebrows and eyes are more like his mother's, which are very beautiful when he laughs. "Although he didn't say it clearly, I guessed it all at once. For so many years, Zhi Xu has never brought anyone back."

Xu Qichen was a little nervous and nervous. He lowered his head again and dipped his bowl in the pool. "Auntie, our relationship..."

"I know." Xia's mother wiped the bowl he washed out with a clean kitchen cloth and said, "my two sons are stubborn. As for the big one, he devoted himself to a girl. After chasing her for so many years, he finally achieved the right result. "

She laughed, "as for this little girl, I have asked him since high school if there are any girls I like. I know many people like him and deliberately tease him, but he never said that. In the third year of senior high school, the child suddenly seemed to be a different person. Every day he only knew how to study and didn't speak. In fact, we don't have so high requirements for him. We can go to any university as long as he is as cheerful as before. "

Summer mother put the bowl into the cabinet, "but he didn't say anything, went to college, it's time to fall in love, every time I came back from vacation, I asked him if he had a girlfriend, he always said no with a smile. It's not that I boast. I don't think my son is so bad that he can't make a girlfriend, do you think? "

Xu Qichen hung his head, only laughed and did not speak.

"Later, he came back from graduation and started an IT company. He was so tired that he told me that he had no time to fall in love. Once I said that I was going to a classmate's party. The whole person was not quite right in those days after I came back. I was very worried. I wanted to take him to see a doctor. He was going to go out, so he stood at the door and suddenly knelt down for me. " Xia's mother seemed to be talking about a very funny thing. She couldn't see her eyes with a smile. "I was scared at that time. I thought my son was really sick."

"Why did he..."

Mother Xia sighed, "he said he likes men. Don't look at me now. It seems that I have nothing to do with it. At that time, I was scared and didn't believe it. But he was very serious. He said that he was sorry for us and hoped that we could forgive him. At the beginning, his father was also very angry. We didn't know what we were angry about. We didn't talk to anyone and forced him to go on a blind date. After half a year, our mood calmed down and we accepted this fact. "

Xu Qichen's mood was very complicated. He didn't know what to say. His fingers were soaked in water and became stiff and clumsy.

"But my silly son is not willing to tell me who he likes." Summer mother's expression is very lovely, "I accept that he likes boys, he is to bring me someone back to see ah.". I asked him every day that he would never open his mouth. Later, I told me that the person he likes can never like him. "

Summer mother a long sigh of relief, "you say, my luck is how bad, two sons did not have a fight." Said, she touched Xu Qichen's back, "originally I did not hope, did not expect him to bring you back today, I and his father at a glance to understand."

"Chen Chen, you look like a good boy. I believe in my son's eyes." Xia's mother's voice choked, "he is stubborn and naive. He has a lot of small problems, sometimes just like a child. But he really likes you and has worked for you for so many years, so aunt is very happy today. You don't have any burden. We've been looking forward to you for a long time.""When I knew Xu Gaoyi, I told me that one of his friends had a car accident. I was very distressed to hear that. At that time, I remembered your name. The fate between you may really be predestined. " She grabbed Xu Qichen's hand and wiped it like a real mother. Then she gave him a hug and patted him on the back. "From today on, I have a third son. Mother can't do anything else. She has many years of experience in raising a son. "

The sour feeling of his chest finally surged out at this moment. The tip of his nose was sour. He bent over and buried his head in his mother's neck. After a long silence, he finally choked and said, "thank you."

Xia's mother touched his back neck, "family, don't say thank you."

"Mom, dad said he couldn't find his..." Xia Zhixu suddenly went to the kitchen door and saw the two people standing there. Seeing this, Xia's mother patted Xu Qichen on the back and said, "what can't be found? I don't put it away every day. Chen Chen, follow Zhixu to his room to have a rest. If you are sleepy, just go to sleep."

Xu Qichen turned his back to Xia Zhixu and let out a sound.

Seeing his mother go to the living room, Xia Zhixu just came in, came up to Xu Qichen, put his arms around his waist, "what did she say to you? Why are you crying? "

Xu Qichen did not turn his face, "did not cry."

Xia Zhixu touched his face and kissed his eyes. "It's not crying. It's just watery. It's not going to fall out."

Xu Qichen looked at him like a complaint, then fell his head on his shoulder and asked: "why do you want to tell them in advance?"

"She told you that." Xia Zhixu sighed, "it's really my mother."

"Don't change the subject." Xu Qichen rubbed on his shoulder. His voice was a little nasal. It sounded waxy.

Xia Zhixu couldn't bear his disguised coquetry, so he had to honestly explain, "I thought I should put it down after so many years. But the first time I saw you at the classmate party, I felt very uncomfortable. My viscera were wringing with pain. "

"At that time, I felt that I would probably not fall in love with other people in my life. My mother and I are worried about my feelings. Maybe it's because of my brother. I thought about it for a long time after I went back. I didn't want to waste everyone's time and energy, so I just came out. In this way, they won't urge me to find someone. "

His palm gently touched the back of Xu Qichen's head. "In fact, I still have a fluke mentality. If one day, I mean, if I can be with you, if you will also like me, I can take you to see them. You don't need to make any preparation or have any psychological burden, because I did it alone a few years ago It's over. That's good. "

What a fool. Xu Qichen hugged Xia Zhixu's back and his nose began to sour again.

Xia Zhixu holds the person in his arms contentedly, "fortunately, I am a dreamer."

He always has a nice voice when he laughs.

A person who does not dare to dream is pulled into a virtual dream by a person who lives by dreams.

Turn this dream into reality.

Xia Zhixu is afraid that he is tired and leads him into his room. Unlike Xu Qichen's imagination, Xia Zhixu's room is quite large, but it is full. There is a cabinet of robot models and a cabinet of trophies. A single bed doesn't look big, but the dark blue sheets feel soft.

Xu Qichen went to the bed and saw a picture on it. There were two little boys in it. They looked like they were in primary school. "Is this you and your brother?"

"Well." Xia Zhixu sat next to him, "this is my brother's graduation from primary school when our family went to the seaside to play shooting."

Xu Qichen stares at Xiao Zhixu with a straw hat and a silly smile on his head in the photo. He can't help but hook up his mouth. "You two look very similar, but your brother doesn't have tiger teeth."

"I'm the only one in my family who has tiger teeth. When I was in junior high school, I felt very strange and wanted to have them removed. My mother took me to the dental clinic for a walk. I was scared when I saw those tools and ran away. My mother chased me half the street."

Xu Qichen put down the photo and said with a smile, "I've heard this story."

Xia Zhixu some doubts, "how possible?"

"Xia Xiqing told me. In high school, he told me a lot about your childhood

Xia Zhixu deliberately put on a pair of not very happy expression, elongated the voice, "is it?"

Xu Qichen stood up and turned to his desk again. "Yes, at that time I envied him so much that I could grow up with you."

Hearing this, Xia Zhixu's heart beat disorderly. He didn't expect that Xu Qichen would think so. He went to his back, surrounded his waist, and put his chin on his shoulder. "So you like me so much."

Xu Qichen didn't speak. When he saw Xia Zhixu with two celestial models on his desk, he felt very strange. He reached out and said, "are you also interested in astronomy?"

"This is from my brother. At that time... "In the middle of what he said, Xu Qichen suddenly stopped. He was a little strange. He turned his head and looked at him. Xia Zhi and Xu laughed, "nothing."

"When you say nothing, there must be something." Xu Qichen turned around and faced him. He pinched his face with two hands. "Speak quickly."

Xia Zhixu shook his head.

Xu Qichen's curiosity was hooked up, even coquetry this means do not hesitate to use, "quick say ah." His mouth shriveled, amber pupil looked at Xia Zhixu's eyes.

Xia Zhixu sighed, as if he had given up completely. He held down the table and stretched out his hand to close all the curtains. The whole room was dark.

"What for?" Xu Qichen some inexplicable, in the virtual world has experienced too much, he can't help thinking to the crooked place. Xia Zhixu didn't speak either. He took him by the hand and walked to the bed. Then he pushed him to the bed deliberately. His face looked like a smile.

Xu Qichen was a little nervous all of a sudden. Xia Zhixu leaned over and pressed himself on him. He slowly lowered his face. The distance was shortened and the tip of his nose was almost touching. Xu Qichen nervously closed his eyes, but heard a beep.

It's like the sound of some electronic product being started.

He opened his eyes and looked over Xia Zhixu's shoulder to the ceiling.

The original ordinary and dark ceiling has become a vast universe, and the rose nebula is slowly floating, emitting mysterious light.

Xu Qichen was a little stunned, and his people fell over and lay on the bed side by side with him.

"Is this a projection?"

"Well, I made it myself." Xia Zhixu holds a small remote control in his hand. He presses it a few times, and the nebula gradually enlarges. In the field of vision, it seems to get closer, diffuses, and then diffuses, until finally two luminous stars appear.

"You can think of them as the two planets on my desk." Xia Zhixu gazed at the universe on the ceiling, "the day you left, I chased after the bus for a long time, you should not see it. I went home all over, just that day, my parents went out to have a party with friends, and there was only my brother at home. He put the Mid Autumn Festival at home. When he saw me, he knew what was going on. It's probably the same thing. " Xia Zhixu laughed untimely.

Xu Qichen turned his face and looked at Xia Zhixu.

"I was very sad at that time. He asked me what happened. It took me a long time to speak." Starlight projected on Xia Zhixu's face, flashing strange light, "I told him that I fell in love with a person who can only be friends. But now, it seems that I can't even be his friend. "

Although he said it with a smile, Xu Qichen's heart began to ache.

"My brother took me to his room and showed me two planets. He told me that there is a very interesting definition in astronomy, called the Roche limit. Planets and moons will keep approaching under the action of gravity, but there is a shortest distance between them to keep safe, which is the Roche limit. "

"Keep safe?"

Xia Zhixu nodded, the two planets on the ceiling slowly approached each other, everything looked peaceful and relaxed.

"Once the Roche limit is exceeded, the strong tidal force will tear the satellite to pieces."

At this moment, the beautiful planet suddenly becomes smashed, like a burst of fireworks, in the field of vision, only the lonely rotating planet.

"Then my brother said to me, you may have exceeded the Roche limit. I asked him, what should I do? He told me coldly at that time that once you hold the idea of approaching, you should be well aware of breaking into pieces. " Xia Zhixu laughed, "I was so sad at that time. I felt that he was not enlightening me at all."

Xu Qichen said softly, "and then?"

Xia Zhixu looked at the ceiling, "look."

Following his advice, Xu Qichen's eyes returned to the small universe. The smashed and collapsed planet turned into a large piece of gorgeous dust, gradually gathered around the lonely planet, evolved into a dazzling and beautiful ring, embracing the planet in his arms.

"In fact, the ending is not so bad." Xia Zhixu took Xu Qichen's hand and clasped his fingers.

"It's good to exchange a broken body for an eternal hug."

Xu Qichen was staring at the star wrapped by halo on the ceiling, and an indescribable emotion welled up in his chest, just like the nebula just now, spreading constantly in his dark chest.

Xia Zhixu turned over and put the hand they held on the side of his face. His handsome and childish face covered most of the stars and became close at hand.

Xu Qichen's light pupil is slightly enlarged, and there are vast rivers of stars in it.

Xia Zhixu bowed his head slightly and rubbed the tip of Xu Qichen's nose with a low voice.

The silent and lonely universe suddenly sends a deep and peaceful signal.

"My asteroid has been around you for a long time, so it's time to give me a reward."
