Chapter 19: Nothing
"Dad."
The phone was connected, and Yan's father paused and pondered for a while.
"Xiao Ci, where is it?"
"Ruiyang."
As soon as he heard the name of this place, Yan's father touched the bottom.
"Is Xiao Xiao safe back?"
"Hmm."
"Next to you?"
"Hmm"
"You make him listen to the phone."
Yan Ci handed Yiyan's phone to Shen Pingxiao on the side, and reminded him with his mouth.
"My dad."
Shen Pingxiao was like a great enemy, he smoothed his head back and forth in front of the air, dragged the corner of his clothes, and didn't know who he was sorting out.
He cleared his throat.
"Uncle Yan, hello."
"My name is Shen Pingxiao, and now I am Yan Ci's boyfriend."
His eyes were serious and straight, and his tone was so nervous that he seemed to be reporting to his superiors, and no matter what Father Yan said on the other side of the phone, his answer could not escape these four sentences.
"Yes."
"Yes."
"It's not hard."
"It should."
Occasionally, if I ask something, I have to answer it decently.
"It's fine."
Seeing that his father didn't mean to make things difficult for Shen Pingxiao, Yan Ci was also relieved to do his own thing.
While she was repairing the picture, her mind flew out of the window.
After the ups and downs of these days, Yan Ci has updated his cognition of his father's heart-to-heart advice.
Father is not making trouble unreasonably, he has nothing to do.
On the contrary, her father loved her very much and could not see her being wronged.
Love Shen Pingxiao, she will inevitably face the ups and downs that do not belong to her life, it is her father who carried everything and took the family out of the quagmire.
She didn't know if her father would confess to Shen Pingxiao the truth about her father Shen Liao's sacrifice.
But she can be sure that her father will definitely not make things difficult for Shen Pingxiao again, and he will not rest assured that he will hand over his daughter to him.
I won't be at ease in this life.
"What's the fuss?"
Yan Ci's thoughts were interrupted, and Shen Pingxiao's snort was on top of his head.
"What did my dad say to you?"
"This question, I want to ask you, what kind of ecstasy soup did you pour into your father, not only did he not blame me for breaking the appointment before, but he also cared about my personal life very much, if I didn't hold back, the scene would have developed into a confession scene."
Yan rejoiced.
"Isn't that great?"
Shen Pingxiao wrapped his hands and easily picked up Yan Ci.
"Then you have to come to the door to apologize to be in order, you have to prepare again, pick a day, and I will make up for those courtesies."
Yan Ci didn't know what he was thinking, he moved back with Shen Pingxiao's gaze, staring at the military uniform he had changed into, and didn't move for a long time.
didn't get a response, Shen Pingxiao was puzzled, "Huh? ”
Yan Ci tugged at his thorny short hair, didn't move anything, and his eyelids sank twice.
"I left my job and came to you, and I didn't do a lot of business, and I was chasing me for debts."
Shen Pingxiao understood.
"Then when you're done, I'll take advantage of this time to take care of everything."
Yan Ci felt that he was only halfway through what he said.
"What's going on?"
Shen Pingxiao was like holding a delicate porcelain, and he handled Yan Ci lightly.
"Originally, I also wanted to discuss with you, Yan Ci, are you willing to go to Menghai with me?"
Yan Yan is blunt.
"Are you going to resign from this? Stopped being a PE teacher? ”
"Originally, this job was also a favor from Lao Tan when I didn't know where to go. Now that others are gone, there is one less one in the team to temper the eggs for the recruits, the captain sees that I am really fine, and I am authorized to have a deputy position, and I will officially return to the team next month, during this time, let me handle my own affairs well. ”
No matter in terms of speed of speech or intonation, Shen Pingxiao's enthusiasm between words is higher than before, and it is not difficult to see that this change is generally for him to remove the dark clouds and see the bright moon.
Yan Ci thought, he was not born to belong to someone, he belonged to his team, he belonged to the solemn army green.
"I'll go to Menghai with you, and then what?"
Yan Ci couldn't hold back any longer.
"Shen Pingxiao, I am a traveler, the place under my feet is my home, and the scene captured by the camera is my life."
"Before I met you, my timekeeping in a place was measured in days, and I didn't stay for more than a month, let alone be obsessed with the same place several times."
"I'll let you go and chase your dreams, why are you tying me up in one place?"
Shen Pingxiao patiently explained.
"I'm not going to tie you up there, you keep doing what you want, you can ...... whenever you want"
Yan Ci interrupted him.
"Shen Pingxiao, do you know how I spent the few days when you lost contact?"
"From the time you left, a total of 13 days, 330 hours, 19,800 minutes, I booked and cancelled the ticket to country C, and I went back and forth six times, and the airline called me to ask if my account had been stolen."
"On the morning I learned that you were back, I was still asleep in a hotel in England, I put my work, my friends, everything out of my way, and I was going to change planes and trains all day, and I was so fast that I vomited and rushed back here!"
Yan Ci turned his head, his eyes did not blink, and the accusations and hatreds in them were like a fire that ignited a pyre, making his eyes shine.
"Shen Pingxiao, there has never been a place that has such a great magic power for me, which can make me give up and interrupt everything, and I am willing to go back thousands of miles! Never! ”
The grievances suffered by Yan Ci exploded at this moment.
It doesn't matter if you go to Menghai or not.
It doesn't matter what Shen Pingxiao's original intention was to invite her to Menghai together.
Yan Ci walked out, and Shen Pingxiao followed his instinct to hold her.
"Where are you going?"
"Get out for a walk."
"It's late out there and it's not safe."
Yan Ci shook off his hand.
"That's where I breathe."
Shen Pingxiao's clamping down on people is just a trivial matter, but it is even more difficult to restrain his heart.
Even if he tried his best, he could only be coaxed.
"Yan Ci, I discussed this matter with you and made this suggestion, not to restrain you ......"
Yan Ci couldn't break free from his siege, and scolded sharply.
"Shen Pingxiao!"
"Don't you understand, the location doesn't matter, what's more terrifying than my turning back is that there is nothing in this city, just you."
Shen Pingxiao is not as capable of talking as an intellectual like her, who can lift a pen, and she still uses her hands and feet more than her mouth when she quarrels.
But this sentence poked his lung tubes.
For the first time, he felt the pain that burst from the depths of his heart, a real pain that was unlike anything he had ever suffered before.
That kind of pain can be endured with bated breath, this kind of distress can't be regulated by breathing, the more you open your mouth to breathe greedily, the more you fall into the corners of your heart.
He looked at Yan Ci's gradually weeping face in a daze, and slowly loosened his restraints.
This time, he watched Yan Ci leave the house without hindrance.
——
"Yan Ci."
Shen Pingxiao hurried in the darkness of the night, looking around and looking around, and at the same time called out the phone.
"Toot ......"
"Toot ......"
"............ Toot"
She didn't answer, so Shen Pingxiao could only hang up the phone and continue to look for someone.
"Yan Ci!"
Walking to the school gate, Uncle Yang pushed open the window, poked his head out, and pointed to the east mysteriously, "Where did the people go." ”
Shen Pingxiao nodded, "Thank you." ”
Uncle Yang didn't think it was a big deal to see the excitement, so he picked up the thermos cup and blew hot steam.
"What are you doing in a daze, go chase it! We haven't gone far yet! ”
At the traffic light intersection not far away, Yan Ci stood at the end of the zebra crossing, staring at the call prompts one after another in his hand, not hanging up or answering, letting it sing alone, muttering to himself in his mouth.
"I'll also give you a taste of what it's like to not find anyone, and what it's like to have no one answer the phone."
She looked up at the empty city night, at this crossroads, except for her, there was only a delivery boy who made a sharp turn and floated by, disappearing from sight like a ghost.
The green light turned on, but Yan Ci didn't move, she looked left and right, not knowing where her destination was.
Where are you going?
She paused for a moment, catching a glimpse of a running shadow behind her.
It's Shen Pingxiao.
As if she hadn't seen it, she moved in the direction that would hide her form, staring at her toes the whole time, walking fast and light.
"Yan Ci!"
Shen Pingxiao chased after her like a predatory beast, and launched a fierce charge, while pounced, he reached out and took her into his arms, so savage that he held her down.
Yan Ci couldn't break free, clenched his fists, and hit him with a hammer belt.
Shen Pingxiao stood motionless like a wooden stake practicing boxing, and every muscle in his body was mobilized, piling up human flesh sandbags, so that the little power fell on his body like an itch.
The more it doesn't hurt, the more angry Yan Ci becomes, and he wants to be ruthless when he raises his legs and bends his knees.
Shen Pingxiao saw her intentions, his eyes were quick, he held her raised leg with one hand, and mentioned it with force, his center of gravity was unstable, and the moment the whole person left the ground, he subconsciously wrapped his neck, and pounced again.
"I'm pretty good at finding weaknesses."
"That's not as good as you would."
"Don't be angry, I'll beat you up, don't fight back."
Yan Ci lowered his head and looked at him viciously.
"Is this what you look like if you don't fight back?"
Shen Pingxiao is weak and reasonable.
"Then you can't aim there......"
Hearing this, Yan Ci's eyes were over, aiming at the side of his bare neck, and he bit it when he opened his mouth.
"Ahhh...... Heh......"
The muscleless and boneless flesh on the hard teeth squeezed and sharpened, and the blood vessels underneath swelled together with the green tendons, and the blood flow accelerated to the brain, causing Shen Pingxiao to stagger two steps on the spot.
The dizziness that rushed straight to his head weakened the power of domineering, but he still held the person in his arms and never let go.
Yan Ci loosened his mouth, held his face, and gritted his teeth.
"Shen Pingxiao, what are you doing here, why don't you go and live with that dress."
"I promised someone that I would have to climb back even if I climbed."
"Yan Ci, that military uniform is in front of me, then you are behind me, and it is the reason why I want to stay in this devastated world no matter what."
Yan Ci sealed all complaints in his stomach, held his cheeks with both hands, and bent over his lips to leave.
On the street corner, in this no-man's land, they hide in the shadow of light, trying their best to decorate this city that has nothing in it.
