"Ahem. . . Ahem.."

With a dry pain in his vague consciousness, Qin Jian subconsciously reached out and touched his dry throat, and then slowly opened his eyes.

The field of vision changed from dark to bright, and was gradually filled by the white living room wall, and a few small toy-like things in the corner of the wall made his pupils tighten.

Then there was another loosening.

Pupil constriction - "Ahem!!"

Coughing hard, he climbed up on the couch under his pillow.

The shaking of his body made his brain ache for a while.

Seeing the two bottles of Cestbon on the coffee table on the side that had not been opened, he reached out and picked it up, unscrewed the cap, and took a big sip.

"Ah~"

The dry throat, moistened by the water, made him feel a little more comfortable.

Gasping slightly, Qin Jian looked around, but didn't notice any movement from anyone else.

Empty 1401's living room, only himself.

"Hoo ————"

Leaning lightly on the sofa, Qin Jian rubbed his temples and recalled last night slightly.

In the end, he found that all he remembered was the last call for wine.

"I actually drank the broken pieces. ”

Laughing at himself, Qin Jian couldn't remember the last time he drank like this.

What about the fat man?

I habitually touched the sofa, but I didn't touch the phone.

Then he reached for the coat pocket beside him.

“15:49。 ”

If the time on his phone at the moment was not enough to make him completely sober, the 42 missed calls and a column of unread messages from Duan Ran were enough to make him involuntarily quirm.

A shudder!

Qin Jian sat up violently!!

For a moment, it seemed that the labor pain under the cerebral cortex could not be detected by him.

Hurriedly opened the list of messages.

The top profile picture is topped by a set of small red numbers 16.

Click.

The 16 messages are from 22:24 last night, after he replied to the other party, 'Practice well, don't look at your phone'.

22:25'Okay, drink less~'

22:26'I don't look at my phone anymore you are done to say to me'

Then the next message was six hours later.

04:14'You're not done yet!?it's four o'clock!'

04:15'Did you drink too much and fall asleep?'

04:28'Just washed my face today and didn't shower and went to bed with a stomachache'

04:30'Hum ~'

05:14 A link to a video with the words 'Warsaw Gastronomy – Chopin Chocolate'

05:14'This one looks so delicious that we'll go eat it too'

05:32 Two Seconds of Voice: 'You said you weren't a pig. ’

06:43' Too sleepy I can't hold it anymore wake up and text me. ’

06:43'Good night'

06:44One second voice: mua~

...

09:49'My stomach hurts'

09:50 'Haven't you woken up yet?'

10:01 'I don't answer the phone either~'

...

12:20'Wake up!!'

12:22 'Are you tuned to mute?'

...

13:11'Where are you?'

After a general glance, the front is fine.

But turning to the back, Qin Jian's brows unconsciously furrowed high.

When he saw the last message at 14:47, Qin Jian closed the page and opened the call record to see that Duan Ran's phone was basically concentrated in the time interval from 14:25 to 14:40.

". ”

Qin Jian was anxiously annoyed why he had turned his phone to silent, and he couldn't remember when it was turned on.

But now is no longer the time to dwell on this issue.

Sunk.

Holding back the sudden acceleration of his heartbeat, he dialed the phone back.

Just a call from 'Di ————' was connected, and this short interval did not allow him to adjust his breathing.

There was silence on the other side of the phone, but the call time on the phone had reached 00:02.

There was a brief silence.

"Ahem. ”

"I woke up. ”

Qin Jian's voice was quite calm, but he didn't have any confidence inexplicably.

There was no movement on the other side of the phone.

"The phone is indeed silent, sorry. ”

"I didn't mean to. ”

"I drank too much yesterday, you wait for me to think about it, uh————"

In a moment, the two sentences sent out the breath held in his chest, and Qin Jian gradually regained the rhythm of language.

"The fat man and I seem to have drunk 3 cases, it seems to be, I can't remember clearly, and the pieces will be broken later. ”

"I don't know anything later, I woke up thirsty, my head hurt when I got up, and I didn't wake up, I saw a bottle of Cestbon on the coffee table, I picked it up and took a sip, and then I looked at my phone and scared me, and then I called you. ”

"Well, that's it. ”

Qin Jian told every scene in every memory before and after waking up.

It's just that the other side of the phone is still silent.

Long.

"Duan Ran. ”

"I really didn't mean to. ”

"I'm sorry. ”

It's been a long time.

Qin Jian sighed deeply.

"I... It's also hard to feel like now. ”

In the end, Qin Jian's voice unconsciously trembled slightly.

"I'm at home right now, right at home in South City. ”

At this moment, the secrecy of 1401 is no longer there.

He was uncomfortable, and he was really uncomfortable.

There have been times when the two have not sent messages to each other for more than ten hours before, and there have been many times when they have not replied to each other's messages in time.

But afterwards, the other party snorted twice, and then there was no more.

But this time, this was the first time he had seen Duan Ran so crazy calling him 40 times in 20 minutes to find him, as well as the last few messages that made him a little worried and frightened.

The words 'Nanshi' in it are full of Duan Ranwan's anxious sensitivity and well-founded suspicions.

At that moment, Qin Jian had to sound the parting of that day again. 118

Qin Jian clearly remembered that at Salzburg Airport, the moment Duan Ran lifted the red rope around his neck before parting, his heartbeat almost reached the most urgent plate he had ever seen.

Maybe the other party found the red rope when he hugged him outside the door of his hotel room in Hamburg, after all, it was something that had not appeared on his neck when he was in Tokyo.

But out of some kind of weakness, for the other party's seemingly unintentional flirtation, I didn't say something for the first time, and I only had the other party's sentence in my mind at that time, 'Remember to think of me.' ’

And later, I still didn't mention it.

One didn't ask, the other didn't say, as if some kind of tacit understanding had been tacitly reached.

But is there really an inexplicable motive for behavior in this world?

Or at that important moment.

Maybe Qin Jian only needed to casually say a word of panic with red lips and white teeth to dispel the doubts in Duan Ran's heart.

So this time.

He felt that he should explain it clearly, though he was less adept at explaining it than he did.

He thinks that words like '1401 and at home' can strengthen his confidence to some extent.

After all, in the message, Duan Ran asked again and again, 'Where are you?'

"Hey. ”

Another helpless sigh.

Just when Qin Jian was in a burst of annoyance, a soft sobbing sound faintly appeared on the opposite side of the quiet words.

Qin Jian's nerves tightened, "Don't..."

Before I could blurt out the crying words, the phone was hung up...

Qin Jian held the mobile phone with a blank expression, and then looked at the video call from Duan Ran on the frequency screen.

Seconds!

When the video is read, there is a white wall in the foreground and a neat writing desk.

Although there was no figure of Duan Ran, Qin Jian had already guessed that Duan Ran was holding the mobile phone, and she was looking at herself.

I was relieved in my heart, and my nerves relaxed.

With a sigh of relief, Qin Jian couldn't help but smile as he looked at the camera.

"Don't cry, don't cry. ”

There was still no movement on the other side.

"Hmm————" Qin Jian picked up the mineral water bottle on the table and shook it at the camera, "The water I drank just now." ”

Then he showed the other party the piano in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, "SK-5, it feels great, I don't believe you can try it." ”

"I'll show you my piano. ”

As he spoke, he stood up with his mobile phone, his nerves relaxed, and when he stood up, there was a pain in his head.

"Shhhh

Qin Jian frowned slightly.

"Sit down, who made you stand up!"

At this moment, Duan Ran's anxious voice with a choked voice suddenly came from the phone that had been quiet.

This moment.

Qin Jian only felt a sour nose.

There is sweetness and astringency in the heart.

Blowing his nose, Qin Jian smiled, "I'll play the piano for you." ”

"No, sit down!" the voice in the video was louder than a decibel level.

"I don't want to listen! I want you to sit down. ”

"Qin Jian!"

Qin Jian couldn't help but take his mobile phone and walked to the piano.

Sit down.

The phone fell silent, except for the soft whimper.

Qin Jian lifted the lid, looked at the battery level of the phone, 87%, and then put the phone on the music stand and aimed it at himself.

Smile gently, "Don't cry." ”

As he spoke, ten pale fingers landed lightly on the keys.

Moment.

"Drip-da-da, drip-da-da. ”

The clear rhythm indicates that this is a waltz, and the whimper on the other end of the video is gradually masked.

Howl's Moving Castle.

Qin Jian hadn't played it for a long time, and the last time he was alone in Ink Garden 206.

It's a piece he's always thought to be playing just for himself, and for some reason, it's involuntarily flowing out of his fingers at this moment.

A gorgeous melody with a hint of gray sentimentality enveloped both ends of the phone in the distance.

Qin Jian's jumping ten fingers outline a brilliant melody, like a lone dancer in a gothic mask swaying psychedelic steps in the spotlight.

In the empty audience under the stage, only a small audience member in the last row listened with his knees in the small corner.

One is acting, the other is watching.

Time flies.

...

...

Qin Jian bounced the phone's battery to 15% in this way.

As the living room gets darker, the winter night is about to fall.

Qin Jian dropped the last note.

Like a real concert, Qin Jian performed 27 tracks for the video without any gaps.

Stop.

Qin Jian looked at the phone, although Duan Ran's face had not yet appeared on the screen, the white wall had been replaced by a pair of bright slender calves.

Moment.

"That's nice. ”

Duan Ran's voice is also very good.

"Shall I proceed then?"

Qin Jian's throat was a little dry.

"Don't!"

Duan Ran's screen shook vigorously.

"Hungry?"

Qin Jian smiled and asked.

"Hmm~"

It was like it was all gone.

If love can make people have 10,000 nerves, this should be counted as one.

Qin Jian finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"You turn on the light, I can't see you clearly. Duan Ran's tone was as clear as a little girl.

Suddenly.

Both ends of the video inexplicably fell into some kind of extremely warm moment.

Qin Jian was about to get up and turn on the light.

"Boom, boom. ”

"Ding-dong, ding-dong, ding-dong. ”

Three consecutive doorbells rang from the door of the living room.

It is particularly clear and noticeable in the quiet living room.

...

At this moment, Qin Jian's mind buzzed, and it went blank...

In the darkness, his hand stopped on the switch.

There was an expression on his face that no one could see clearly.
