Chapter 97 A Chessboard
When Yan Xi woke up, Ah Heng was no longer there.
Opening the curtains, she stood downstairs in the snow, tearing pieces of bread to feed the sparrows who couldn't find food.
Touching the earbuds, she had helped him put them back on.
He went to the bathroom and took a shower, and when he came out again, hot milk and toast were already on the table.
He hadn't eaten breakfast for a long time, and he hadn't recognized day and night for a long time, and it was always Lu Liu who came back to pull him up, and the day was just the beginning, and it was muddy.
No longer accustomed to the sun, no longer accustomed to the night, he just tried his best to adapt himself to the land current.
I don't know if I'm dead or alive, obviously no one is tying his hands and feet.
A familiar sound of footsteps sounded, gentle and orderly, like doing mathematical equations, step by step.
Whether happy or sad, it has never changed.
He raised his eyes, and Ah Heng walked over, with two hard-boiled eggs in his hand.
She handed it to him and said, "You eat." There was no emotion on his face, and there was no hysteria from last night, as if all his emotions had been hollowed out.
She turned around and crouched down beside the heater to bake a towel.
Yan Xi didn't speak, kept his head down to eat, and his hair almost got on the milk.
Two people do their own thing, their emotions are not connected to each other, and they are careless.
After Yan Xi drank the last sip of milk, Ah Heng stood up and rubbed his hands, and said, "When are you leaving?" β
Yan Xi had milk paste on his mouth, wiped it with his hand, and said softly: "I have ...... Three days. β
He said, "I have three days to be with you. β
Ah Heng was stunned and asked, "Is there three days this time, or is there only three days in a lifetime?" β
Yan Xi was very silent, and only spoke after a while: "I don't know." When you get married, I will go, and when you have children, I will also go...... Look at you. β
Ah Heng said: "When I got married, I didn't send you a wedding post, just enough furniture to be delivered; What does it have to do with you and me if you don't have a surname Wen or a surname when you have a child? β
She said, "You might as well wait until I'm dead and then visit you." β
Someone knocked on the door, Ah Heng went to open the door, it was Tom, Jenny, and Fabio.
Tom was still that shy, and said with a smile: "Winnie, we signed up for a tour group, a three-day tour, do you want to go...... Uh, you have guests in ...... That boyοΌ β
Jenny saw Yanxi and smiled: "Hey, boy, what you are looking for is Winnie." β
Yan Xi nodded, smiled, and did not speak.
Fabio shrugged: "Winnie, you...... Okay, would you like to go along? β
Ah Heng asked, "Where are you going to play?" β
Fabio leaned against the wooden door and smiled: "Just walk around, come here, I haven't had a chance to have fun." β
Ah Heng turned his head and looked at Yan Xi.
Yan Xi nodded.
She said, "Okay, do you need to bring anything?" β
Jenny smiled exaggeratedly: "Girl, it's up to you, the food was prepared in Carrefour in the morning." β
On the first day of the new year, there were many people who signed up for the group, but Ah Heng was unexpected.
There are about thirty seats, Ah Heng and Yan Xi sit in the third-to-last row by the window, and Fabio They sit in the last row, with four seats at no intervals, giggling, listening to songs, and talking quickly in English.
The uncles and aunts in front, the young men and the big girls, all have black eyes, looking at this, blue and green, really curious.
Halfway through, everyone was sleepy, staggering in their seats, and sleeping in a daze.
Yan Xi was like a mute along the way, only nodding and shaking his head, as if he would rather let everyone think that he was dumb, and it was better to know that he was deaf.
He leaned on the window and watched the scenery flying by outside the window, and his heart gradually became clearer.
In addition to Lu Liu, Lu Liu's life has been two years, and in that chaotic environment, finally, the blood clamped with hemostats has a soothing flow.
Ah Heng suddenly put his hands behind his back, leaned over, and kissed him.
She resented herself a little for not kissing Yanxi in the twilight of spring, in such a warm and soft season.
However, this person never gave her that opportunity.
It was already summer when they interacted, but when it ended, it was only the winter of that year.
At this time, it was already winter three years later.
Maybe it's because of this that Yan Xi didn't have such a deep opportunity to like her. He would rather give himself to someone else in exchange for her illusory joy than let her touch him all the time and get great happiness.
She trembled, her eyes were gentle and clear, nothing but her head was held, tongue sticked out, kisses, pried open his teeth, gentle and soft.
There was silence all around, except for the sound of cars rubbing against the highway as they moved.
Bang, dangdang.
Yan Xi couldn't breathe, and all that was surging in his mouth was the smell of Ah Heng.
His eyes were so wide that his pupils narrowed into one focal pointβhers.
Suddenly, tears welled up in his eyes.
He thought, what did I lose? Yan Xi, what the fuck have you lost!
She chased his tongue, jerky and reckless, but gentle, like the first hint of rosin lit in spring.
He grabbed her hand and wrapped it in his palm, took her tongue in his mouth, and patiently guided him.
They forget about time and treat the kiss as a big event to kill time, serious and focused.
He shed tears, and she looked at his tears, her eyes calm, and she just kept asking for the last bit of hot air in his mouth, as if this was a dying man, and there was only so much left to prove that he was alive.
Heat, temperature, beauty, pain, struggle, silence, ablation.
The sun was outside the window, and the windows were ticking, and wisps of water that had been cold fell.
Arrived at the location.
When Tom woke up, he saw a beautiful picture.
Under the sun, the two fell asleep. She snuggled into his arms, her head resting on his chest, her hands around his waist, her eyes shining in a calm position.
The lips were bright and dazzlingly red.
He was dumbfounded and said, "Hey, Jenny, look, what brand of lip balm does Winnie use?" It's so beautiful. β
Jenny patted him on the head and spoke sympathetically, "Tom, you know, Winnie is very conservative and I'm afraid she can't accept a foreign boyfriend." So, it's not your fault. β
Tom shrugged and smiled, "We're all good friends. β
Fabio smirked: "Is this still called conservative? If you don't have half an hour, you won't be able to get this effect at all. β
Jenny muttered in a low voice: "It's a pity, Ah Heng's boyfriend is mute and can't speak." β
But after that, the foreign child was awkward.
Have you ever seen such a strange boyfriend and girlfriend? Obviously, I was so close to everyone in the car, but when I climbed the mountain, I went my own way, one team at the front, and one team at the end, like strangers.
There is snow on the mountain, and the more you walk up, the more slippery it becomes, and the tour guide holds a loudspeaker and says that everyone should pay attention to safety, and persistence is victory. There is a natural hot spring on the top of the mountain, which is absolutely longevity, beauty and body shaping, and the big guy insists on it.
Everyone was panting, and Tom asked the guide, "Is there a sushi restaurant next to the hot spring?" I want to eat sashimi. β
An old man sprayed Tom's face with saliva, like a Tianjin accent: "What are you doing?" We are not a devil's nest in China, what are you looking for sashimi, are you afraid of diarrhea after eating? We only have a big bowl of noodles and jellyfish skin here, I love to eat, I don't like to eat and pull down! β
Tom sneered, "Winnie, what's a devil's nest?" β
Ah Heng twitched: "It's a place with a lot of hoop legs and a lot of cartoons, ah, yes, and the sashimi you want." β
Tom nodded as if he didn't understand.
When you go to the hot spring at the top of the mountain, the temperature is about 40 degrees Celsius, and the hot air is bubbling up, and the water mist is swirling.
The men and women have different baths, separated by a bamboo door, and when the wind blows, the bamboo leaves fall straight into the pool.
Ah Heng showed his head, and it took a long time to adapt to the temperature. Remembering the old things when I was a child, I stuck my head in, held my breath, and dived in the water a few times.
It was cold on the mountain, and in the evening, there were flakes of snow.
As soon as Ah Heng went up to put on his bathrobe, he heard the male bather ghost on the opposite side roaring: "Boy, what's wrong with you, are you okay?" β
"Ears, you have water in your ears, don't cover it and don't let you pick it up. Ouch, lad, no, it's water! β
"Hey, don't get dizzy!"
"Hey, wake up, wake up!"
Ah Heng rushed to the opposite side with an arrow step, and the old man and the young man blushed and began to scream.
Ah Heng couldn't tell whether he blushed or didn't blush in the mist, and coughed lightly: "I'm a doctor." β
Looking down at Yan Xi, the child was like a roast suckling pig, wrapped in a big bath towel, and his face was flushed.
In the blink of an eye, he asked Tom, "How long has he been soaking?" β
Tom shrank into the pool, covered the important parts, and said, "He didn't come out, we just swam his leg cramps before we lifted him up, pulled out his earplugs, he didn't let him, and he fainted." β
Ah Heng had a green face, dragged Yan Xi and carried him out for cardiac resuscitation. Eventually, he spat two mouthfuls of water, coughed for a while, and woke up.
He was dazed and let Ah Heng help him back to the room, his eyes just staring at her.
The eyes were clear and clean, and there was no ballast, but they pierced her eyes.
Ah Heng said: "Yanxi, are you still not a man? I can faint even in the bath. β
Yan Xi said: "I just had a dream that I broke up with you, did you say it was funny, how could I break up with you?" β
Ah Heng's face turned green: "Yan Xi, don't play amnesia under my eyelids." She gritted her teeth, "You dare to say that the breakup is fake, I'll beat you to death!" β
Yan Xi closed his eyes and smiled: "You smoke me to death, I regret it." β
He said: "I'd rather the Wen family be abolished, I'd rather keep you alone, I'd rather you be left alone, I'd rather force you to follow a cripple, than as soon as I open my eyes, I can't see you." β
"I regret it," he said. β
That's a lot of ...... Confidently.
Ah Heng's face darkened: "Yan Xi, you belong to Zhu Bajie, aren't you?" Half-hearted, there is something to do with Lu Gongzi, and nothing to do with the Wen family. β
He scratched the quilt: "I regret it." β
Ah Heng said: "You fucking said you broke up, I listened with two ears." β
He crouched in the corner: "I regret it. β
Ah Heng said: "I said, if you dare to say that the breakup is fake, I will beat you to death." β
He scratched the wall: "I also said, you beat me to death, I regret it." β
Ah Heng sneered: "Yan Xi, you don't look at what you look like now, your ears are useless, and you may have hysteria again." Can't you bear to drag me down? You're not afraid, I'm afraid my son is deaf! β
Yan Xi burst into tears and put his head into the quilt: "I know, but I ...... Regretted it. Big deal, if we don't have children, will we succeed? β
Ah Heng was hideous: "What do you say? Don't you love Luliu? In the past two years, everyone has been talking in my ear, and what I love is Lu Liu, that's right, Wen Heng, you are a nursery! β
Yan Xi rolled around holding the quilt, tangled: "That's what I let people pass on, I'm afraid you won't be able to forget me." However, I peeked at Lu Mojun drinking tea with you, and I peeked at Yun shopping with you, I regret it! β
Ah Heng had green tendons hanging on his forehead: "You say it again?!" β
Yan Xi hugged his head: "You beat me to death, I regret it!" β
Ah Heng was so angry that he sat on the bamboo bench and didn't say anything for a long time.
She held the chess prepared on the bamboo table: "Yan Xi, are you tired of living like this?" It's black and white all day long, it's okay to find trouble, toss yourself and others, ready to act at any time, are you tired? β
She said, "Well, you play a game of chess with me, and if you win against me, I will regret it." If I lose, how about getting out of my sight from now on? β
Yan Xi holds the red chess, goes first, and moves the troops.
Ah Heng has been learning chess with Abba since he was a child, and it took about ten years from the beginning of the steady loss to the final steady win.
Seven years ago, she once played a game with Yan Lao under the banyan tree, forty rounds, and won the opponent's handsomeness, and checkmated.
I don't dare to say anything else, but in chess, she has a lot of effort.
She remained silent and walked away.
After another twenty rounds, Yan Xi began to sweat on his head. Four-fifths of his pawns were eaten, a pair of cannons were destroyed, and the battle was miserable.
His fingers were white, he was holding the car, and his nerves were tense. Just took a step back, Ah Heng said lightly, holding his son, and said, "Eat." β
Eat.
Eat.
Eat.
In the end, only a lonely handsome man remains.
Half of the country, falling apart, will not take more than two steps.
Ah Heng looked at Yan Xi with a calm and gentle gaze.
He didn't speak, his throat was a little uncomfortable, he held the chess piece, it was difficult to move a step, looked at the chessboard, slammed and closed, and finally, came to a desperate situation.
The black hair was soaked with sweat, and he lost his Ah Heng.
Forever.
Ah Heng glanced at him, but smiled, and suddenly stretched out his hand, the wide sleeves of the yukata brushed the chessboard, and the soldiers fought fiercely, and everything was ruined.
"I throw in the towel," she said. β
She said, "I give you permission to regret it, for once."
"There will never be a next time."
