83. Chapter 83
After the host finished the curtain call, Zhou An took the stage, the lights gathered towards him, and the audience was dark for a moment.
When the music sounded, Zhou settled down, as he usually practiced countless times, counting the beats in his heart, and accurately singing the melody that he had already mastered by heart.
The singing this night was very successful, but Zhou An didn't have time to experience the cheers of the fans and followed Zhao Jun back.
On the other side, the Spring Festival Gala was broadcast live on TV, Zhou An sang affectionately on the stage, and Guan Ce held a red wine glass in the sofa and listened quietly.
Behind him is a mountain of New Year's goods, and the festive packaging punctures the comfort of the night, just like admiring the moon and suddenly putting up "Chinese Year", which makes people laugh, but there is a strange harmony.
As soon as the live broadcast was gone, there was a knock on the door of Guan Ce's house.
Guan Ce put down his wine glass, listening to the obviously rapid knock on the door, and a slight smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
When he opened the door, Zhou An stood outside the door with a smile on his face, and opened his arms towards Guan Ce: "Come and let me hug me." ”
Guan Ce perfunctorily reached out and hugged his waist, and when he wanted to pull away, he was grabbed by Zhou An's wrist and clasped in his arms.
The two pulled and pulled into the room, and Zhou An leaned Guan Ce against the wall at the entrance, bowed his head and kissed the tip of his nose: "Today is the Chinese New Year's Eve, eat a good meal." What do you want to eat? ”
Zhou An was still wearing makeup, and his already delicate facial features were even more perfect after the makeup artist "cast magic", and Guan Ce felt that he was about to drown in his deep gaze.
"I'll make you dumplings, okay?" Zhou An gently rubbed Guan Ce's waist, "Or do you want to eat rice cakes?" ”
Guan Ce hesitated for a moment, raised his hand and put it on Zhou An's shoulder, seeing that the other party raised his eyebrows, he lowered his eyes slightly, and his expression looked obedient and gentle.
Zhou An's heart began to beat wildly with a pop, and his breathing gradually became heavier.
In the face of Guan Ce, he couldn't help but flirt, with just one look, the power of Teddy in his body could be unsealed.
At the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner, the two "ate" from the entrance to the living room, and almost knocked over the one-person-high New Year's goods halfway.
Zhou An rubbed Guan Ce's waist and laughed in a low voice: "It's too thin, eat more." ”
With his movements, Guan Ce tensed his body, and his hands grasped Zhou An's arm almost spasmodically.
"Hmm...... Let you eat more, and I didn't let you eat it all at once! Zhou An slowed down and patted Guan Ce's leg, "Baby, relax, I'm going to be bitten off by you." ”
"Shut up!" Guan Ce's cheeks were flushed, and he didn't want to be so sensitive, but ......
Seeing that he was annoyed and angry, Zhou An smiled sullenly, leaned over and hugged him tightly: "Okay, shut up and concentrate on doing things." ”
Early the next morning, Zhou An took the sleepy-eyed Guan Ce to catch the earliest flight back to his hometown.
"I'll take the luggage, you just follow me." Zhou An took the suitcase in Guan Ce's hand, saw that he was ignorant and hadn't woken up yet, and pinched his cheek funny, "So sleepy, why don't we change to the next shift?" ”
Guan Ce turned his head away from his hand and glared at him.
Zhou An smiled: "Still angry?" I was wrong, I will never make it so late in the future, you can stop if you say stop......"
Guan Ce withdrew his hand, rubbed the saliva on Zhou An's clothes, and said in a muffled voice: "I don't pay attention to the occasion when I speak!" ”
"Hehe, don't worry, others don't understand." Zhou An reached out and tugged at the hem of Guan Ce's clothes.
Guan Ce's cold face eased a lot, and he took his handbag: "Let's go." ”
Zhou An followed with a special dog.
Qiao Yuan's hometown is in a small fishing village in a coastal city, and it took four hours to get off the plane and get on a bus to reach his destination.
The qiē in front of him was unfamiliar to both Zhou An and Guan Ce.
"What's next?" Guan Ce asked.
Zhou Anwan looked around, pointed to the path on the right and said, "It should be this side." ”
"Are you sure?" Guan Ce was skeptical.
He touched his nose embarrassedly, "Actually, I don't know, I just feel it." With that, he tossed his luggage and walked along the path.
Guan Ce had no other choice but to follow him.
Zhou An didn't tell a lie, he had an impression of this place, but it wasn't very clear. After walking along the path for a while, memories gradually appeared, and even the sights seen in many youths surfaced.
"It wasn't like this before." Zhou Anbian said to the person beside him, "The road under your feet is a dirt road, and it is waterlogged all year round. The houses here are also newly built and used to be adobe houses. ”
Guan Ce glanced at him: "Remembered?" ”
Zhou An said with a low smile: "I feel like I have lost my memory." ”
Looking at the familiar and unfamiliar scene in front of him, Zhou An suddenly turned his head and looked at Guan Ce sternly: "Thank you." ”
“…… What nonsense! ”
Zhou An smiled and freed up a hand to hold Guan Ce: "In this world, only you know me." ”
Guan Ce turned his head to look at Zhou An and saw that his eyes were full of smiles. That kind of preoccupancy, all the smiles just for you, the persistence makes his heart pound.
"What stupid things to say, let's go." Guan Ce's voice unconsciously became soft.
Zhou An shook his hand vigorously, "Hmm." Then he dragged him on.
He hasn't been home for many years, even with Qiao Yuan's memory, Zhou An is full of strangeness to this village. I asked many villagers along the way, and it took nearly three hours to finally find the dilapidated old house in the corner of the village.
Zhou An exhaled: "This is it, it seems that no one has been here for a long time." You wait here, I'll go in and take a look. ”
10 minutes later, he came out and shook his head at Guan Ce: "No way, this place can't live in people, let's go find out if there is a hotel." ”
The roof of the house was made of some kind of plant, and after a long period of wind and rain on the seashore, several large holes were broken. The stone walls are also covered with green moss, and if it weren't for daylight, they look like haunted houses.
Guan Ce agreed with Zhou An's point of view, and the two turned around and went to the village to find a hotel.
Luckily, the village was doing well in terms of tourism, and they quickly found a clean and comfortable farmhouse to live in.
When she entered the house, the proprietress kept staring at Zhou An, although her gaze was very vague, Zhou An still found out. But he didn't care, maybe the boss lady had seen the TV series he acted in.
After the two went back to the room to settle down, Zhou An went downstairs to find food for Guan Ce, and the proprietress enthusiastically gave Zhou An two bowls of noodles.
"It's so fragrant, thank you boss."
"Young man!" A second before Zhou An left, the proprietress who had been talking all night finally stopped him, "May I ask if your surname is Qiao?" ”
"Yes, what's the matter with you?"
Seeing that she didn't recognize the wrong person, the proprietress immediately had a bright smile on her face, and stepped forward to hold Zhou An's hand with warmth: "Like, really like!" ”
Zhou An seemed to feel something, and the smile on his face faded instantly.
The proprietress didn't notice his abnormality, took Zhou An's hand, and looked her up and down, left and right several times: "It looks really like your mother, look at these eyes, they are simply carved out of a mold." ”
The unfamiliar title made Zhou An's heart chuckle, he looked at the slightly chubby, 50-year-old boss lady in front of him, and asked tentatively: "Do you know my mother?" ”
"Yes, we're elementary school classmates." The proprietress seemed to think of some unpleasant memories and sighed, "Not long after your father died, she took you away, and it was normal for you to remember me when you were still very young. ”
Hearing this, Zhou An's mind was blank, and he had no way to find a little useful information in his memory to judge whether the boss lady was right.
The proprietress also seemed to be immersed in her memory, pulled Zhou An, and said after a while: "By the way, have you had any news of your mother over the years." ”
Zhou Yu said admittedly: "...... I do not know. ”
He didn't have any impression of what the proprietress said, listening to the other party's meaning, his father died but his mother didn't, is it missing?
The proprietress looked at Zhou An's depressed appearance, and hurriedly comforted: "It's okay, it's okay, no news is good news, I will definitely find it in the future." ”
Zhou An came back to his senses slightly: "How old was my mother who took me away?" ”
The proprietress looked at her in surprise: "You don't remember at all?" ”
Zhou An shook his head.
The proprietress continued: "When you were 5 years old, you left suddenly, and your grandmother has been looking for you for a long time. ”
"And how did I get back?"
"We don't know the specifics, but one day your grandmother suddenly brought you back, and your mother didn't come back with you. No matter what people ask, your grandmother won't say anything. It's been a long time, and there are rumors in the village, I know your mother, she must have encountered some difficulties. ”
Zhou An listened quietly, and heard a sadness from other people's life experiences.
The proprietress sighed for a while, and suddenly asked, "Where have you been all these years?" ”
"I ......"
"Qiao Yuan?"
Zhou An just wanted to speak, but heard Guan Ce call him.
"Hey, what's wrong?"
"It's fine." Guan Ce glanced at the proprietress and turned around to go back to the house.
Zhou An said to the proprietress: "I have been delayed for too long, I have to go back." "Say this is the time to go.
The proprietress grabbed him: "Wait a while, I haven't finished talking yet!" ”
"I'll go back to the house and then I'll come back and tell you, okay?"
The proprietress grabbed him: "Just one word, I'll let you go after that." ”
"Okay, you say."
"You come home with me tomorrow, grandma wants to see you."
"Grandma?"
The proprietress said: "It's my mother-in-law, you loved to stick to her when you were a child." You haven't seen them since you were taken away by those two people, no wonder you don't remember. ”
Zhou An had an inexplicable closeness to the old man, and he agreed to the proprietress without thinking about it.
Back in the room, Zhou An told Guan Ce about the conversation just now.
"You're not impressed?" Guan Ce asked.
"No, the same is true of the adoptive parents, before I saw them, I didn't have any relevant memories at all."
Zhou An also felt very strange, how much did this Qiao Yuan hate his adoptive parents to completely erase the memories about them?
But after thinking about it, according to Qiao Yuan's paranoid character, it is not surprising that he would do such a thing.
"Let's check it out tomorrow." Guan Ce said.
"Are we together?"
Isn't this asking knowingly, Guan Ce frowned and looked at Zhou An, and saw that the other party had a wicked smile on his face. But Zhou An didn't hide it well, and the apprehension in his eyes was obvious.
Guan Ce sighed inaudibly, walked over and gave Zhou An a hug: "Don't worry, there is me!" ”
Zhou An hugged Guan Ce tightly like grasping the last straw, and after a while, laughed at himself: "I feel like an insecure child, and the slightest wind and grass will make me ......"
"It's fine." Guan Ce touched his face and pretended to be helpless, "I'm used to it." ”
Zhou An laughed in a low voice and grinded his teeth on Guan Ce's arm: "Make fun of me!" ”
Guan Ce smiled silently, "It's not early, go to sleep." ”
