Silver Leaf Whale Chapter 35

You and my heart

Chapter 35: Your heart and my heart

Li Yunyao started school in the eighth grade of junior high school. He had been playing so hard these days that he had to go home a few days early to adjust his schedule. Pang Jing had to resume training in a few days. After the third grade of junior high school, the Meihua couple had to answer countless phone calls a day.Although we are reluctant to leave, everyone still has to go.

“Tell Awei and the others to take their time on the road and not be in a hurry. Don’t work too hard. Take a break when you are tired. You will never make enough money…”

Grandma held her daughter’s hand and gave her endless instructions. Meihua was busy all day and night, but at this time, she was very quiet and listened to her mother’s detailed instructions.

“Mom, okay, it’s time to go. It will take several hours for Meihua and the others to drive back. It will be too late to get home if we don’t leave.” The uncle got out of his car and patted my mother on the shoulder.

Grandma also knew that it was time to let go. The children were so old that it was long past time to let go.

The children said goodbye to her one after another and drove slowly out of the yard. Grandma was still standing in front of the iron door, watching everyone leave. Meihua lay by the car window and called her, “Mom! Go back quickly!”

She asked others to go back, but she still stuck her head and kept looking back. It wasn’t until the car turned around the intersection that the figure could no longer be seen, and then she slowly sat up straight.

After closing the window, Meihua sighed softly, and the car fell into silence for a moment.

The familiar scenery on the front glass of the car keeps going backwards, but life can only keep moving forward.

Pang Jing and his son took turns driving the car back home. They didn’t bother to go home to cook. They found a restaurant for a simple meal. After packing their things, they fell asleep tiredly.

Before going to bed, Meihua specially brought a basin of water and put it into Qi Zhixuan’s room. Now the heater was on and the room was very dry. She was thinking about the child’s nosebleed. “My child, sleep well and Auntie won’t disturb you. If you need anything, just tell Xiaoyu.”

“Okay, thank you, auntie, and you should go to bed early.”

Qi Zhixuan closed the door and looked at the basin of water standing quietly in the corner. He couldn’t help but sigh. Pang Jing’s family was always like this. Their care was hidden in their inadvertent actions, which always made people feel solid and warm.

“Xiao Xuan, are you tired? We have to go back to Beijing tomorrow. Let’s go to bed.” Pang Jing hugged him from behind at some point and buried himself in his neck intimately.

Qi Zhixuan raised his hand and patted the arm around his waist, saying in a calm voice: “I’m tired, go to sleep.” He broke away from the restraints, lay down on the bed, wrapped himself tightly in the quilt, and reached out to turn off the bedside lamp.

In fact, Pang Jing’s training had not yet started, and he should have stayed at home for two more days, but Qi Zhixuan hurried back to the store, and was thinking about coming back to pick up the cat early, so he followed him back to the capital. Firstly, he did not want his father to make another trip, and secondly, there was always a stone hanging in his heart, making it uncomfortable. Only by following Qi Zhixuan could he reluctantly feel at ease.

Why are you so worried? After the two of them kissed each other that day, the atmosphere between them became very strange. Although their relationship was still very good, they always felt less close than before. Qi Zhixuan was always alone in a daze, unable to tell what he was thinking.

He didn’t know if he had done something wrong, and he was very nervous.

Qi Zhixuan called Chen Runsong and said he was back to pick up the cat. He turned to ask Pang Jing if he was coming.

“Of course I want to go.”

Qi Zhixuan nodded and motioned for him to go out. While continuing to talk on the phone, he walked to the door to change his shoes.

Pang Jing hurriedly followed and changed his shoes, while Qi Zhixuan straightened his shoelaces.

“No need.” Qi Zhixuan lifted the man up from the ground and didn’t let him do this again.

The two took a taxi downstairs to Chen Runsong. Qi Zhixuan was about to walk in when his footsteps suddenly stopped and his eyes fell on a black car not far away.

Pang Jing followed his line of sight and didn’t think there was anything special. It wasn’t until he was approaching the door of Chen Runsong’s house that he suddenly understood.

Chen Runsong’s home is in an old community and there is no elevator. As he approached his home, he saw two people, one inside and one outside the door, hugging each other at the door.

It turned out to be Jiang Xianfan and Chen Runsong.

The two people hadn’t noticed the visitor yet, and Qi Zhixuan was standing on the stairs in a dilemma.

“Ahem…” Pang Jing coughed twice to break the situation.

Chen Runsong quickly separated when he heard the voice, and looked out, “Xiao Xuan, you’re here, haha…” He scratched his head in embarrassment.

Jiang Xianfan looked very calm. He straightened his clothes and nodded to Qi Zhixuan: “Happy New Year, Boss Qi.”

“Oh haha…Happy New Year.” Qi Zhixuan said that the car downstairs looked so familiar. It was indeed Jiang Xianfan’s!

The phone rang in the corridor. Jiang Xianfan glanced at it and frowned, then turned around and hugged Chen Runsong, kissed his forehead and said, “I’m leaving.”

Then he turned around and said to Qi Zhi: “The company still has something to do, so I’ll leave first. Boss Qi, I’ll treat you to dinner next time I’m free.”

When they came down the stairs and saw Pang Jing, the two of them nodded slightly to say hello.

Everything is so natural, as if it should be so.

When the three of them sat down in Chen Runsong’s living room, Qi Zhixuan was still a little unresponsive.

Chen Runsong poured water for the two of them, while Pang Jing squatted on the other side of the sofa and was busy petting the cat. His swimming goggles looked a little bigger. It was obvious that he had been well taken care of during this period.

“You…” Qi Zhixuan hesitated for a long time, but couldn’t help but speak.

“Yes, yes, yes, oh, it’s just what you thought.” Chen Runsong didn’t hide anything. He was an upright virgin. Although… he was a little embarrassed, there was nothing he couldn’t say.

Pang Jing listened for a while and realized that they were really a couple. So when they invited people to see the art exhibition, they should have gone to the cake shop and ordered more cakes.

“That’s good.” Qi Zhixuan smiled sincerely, took the water glass and took a sip, “I don’t mean anything else, it’s just a bit surprising.” Jiang Xianfan looked calm and excellent, while Chen Runsong had a cheerful temperament. The two of them really matched together.

“Well, what about you, is Northeast fun?”

“It’s fun! I even bought this for you.” Speaking of this, he was busy taking out the matryoshka dolls and nutcrackers he bought last time out of the bag and giving them to him. “And I also went to see the winter fishing. There were so many fish. I caught them and processed them nearby. They were very delicious… and…

It was rare for him to talk incessantly like this, pouring out all the new experiences he had during the Spring Festival. It was rare for Chen Runsong to see him so excited. He had always been alone at home, but this time he seemed to be really having a good time. He couldn’t help but quietly glanced at Pang Whale, who was squatting on the ground and playing with his cat. He raised his chin and asked Qi Zhixuan in a low voice, “Hey, you guys…”

His tone was ambiguous, and Qi Zhixuan probably knew what he meant, but he just shook his head slightly and said nothing.

Chen Runsong nodded to show his understanding, but in his heart he felt that the boy was almost mean. He took everyone out, but there was no progress at all.

“Okay, you guys sit down for a while and you’ll have dinner at my house at noon. Don’t leave.”After chatting for a while, Chen Runsong stood up on his knees and ran to the kitchen to work.

Qi Zhixuan wanted to help, but was kicked out: “Oh, you two don’t come, it’s not enough to be of help, I can do it myself.””

Being disliked, Xiao Qi had no choice but to lean against the door frame and watch Master Chen prepare the feast, “Why isn’t Yan’er at home?”

“I went shopping with my classmates and came back in the evening, so don’t worry about her.”Master Chen’s hands and feet are very fast, and he cuts the vegetables with a clattering sound.

“Oh…” Qi Zhixuan was bored standing here, turned around and walked to the sofa, next to Pang Jing and petting the cat together.The two owners were gathered around. The kitten stretched its neck comfortably, squinted its eyes, and purred with contentment in its throat.

Pang Whale lowered his head and followed the cat’s fur, but couldn’t help but glance at the people around him out of the corner of his eye.Thinking of Chen Runsong’s gentle shaking of his head when he asked about their relationship just now, the stone in his heart dropped even more.

Why are you shaking your head?Did they not want others to know about them, or… did they not want to be involved in that kind of relationship with him at all?

Chen Runsong was very good at his craftsmanship, and everyone had a satisfying meal. Chen Runsong suggested playing a game of landlord fighting, but after playing a few games, he found that the boy named Pang wanted to get involved with Qi Zhixuan, regardless of whether he was a landlord or a farmer, so he threw the cards angrily: “No, no, you two are not bullying me!Go quickly, go quickly, go back to your own homes!”

The two people who were kicked out returned to Qi Zhixuan’s home with swimming goggles.Maybe it had been too long since he had been back, and the swimming goggles were sniffing everywhere vigilantly. Qi Zhixuan was busy arranging his things, opening the bedroom and bathroom doors so that he could go in and see them, hoping to let him get familiar with them as soon as possible.

It wasn’t until night that the swimming goggles completed its olfactory exploration, regained a sense of security, and lay on Qi Zhixuan’s pillow and fell asleep.

Pang Whale sat on the floor, his fish head leaning against the cat’s head, and he opened his eyes to look at the fine fluff that bulged in the kitten’s belly when it breathed.

“Where do you want to sleep tonight?”Qi Zhixuan walked to the other end of the bed and bent over. His eyes fell on one person and one cat, and his voice was soft.

“What?”Pang Jing looked up, his eyes full of confusion. What does sleeping mean? Haven’t they always slept together? Could it be that when they return to the capital, they will take back the closeness they had before?

“Uh, nothing.”Qi Zhixuan avoided his gaze, his tone was unnatural, and his heart was in a mess, “I went to take a shower.”After that, he turned around and walked quickly to the bathroom.

The bathroom door is next to the sink. After taking a bath, Qi Zhixuan leaned on the countertop to dry his hair.He hadn’t cut his hair during this period, and his wet hair hung down, somewhat covering his eyes.He was too lazy to take care of it carefully, so he thought about turning it to the maximum wind, raising his head and closing his eyes to finish it quickly.

But not long after the hairdryer started buzzing, a hand reached out from behind him to take it. The windshield was instantly adjusted to the minimum, and the chest with the familiar ocean smell was pressed against it. The broad palm was rubbing his wet hair, and the shoulder was pressed against his ear, almost encircling him in his arms.

Qi Zhixuan’s hair was of moderate volume, not too heavy, but Pang Jing used the minimum wind and patiently blew strands of hair, blowing for a long time before completely drying the roots.

After blowing the person, he didn’t leave. He put the hair dryer next to him, his eyes fell on the person in the mirror, and his fingertips gently combed Qi Zhixuan’s bangs. Now Qi Zhixuan could finally see clearly.

See yourself clearly and see Pang Whale clearly.

They looked at each other quietly in the mirror for a few seconds. Pang Jing’s eyes were very complicated. After only looking at them for a while, he couldn’t help but hug Qi Zhixuan from behind.

For the past few days, he felt like he was standing on a ladder with no end in sight.

Realizing that they were not that close was like being pushed to the top of the ladder and worrying all day long.

When Chen Runsong asked Qi Zhixuan about them, but he shook his head, he felt like he was pushed to the next section.

At night, when Qi Zhixuan asked him where he was sleeping, he was pushed down another section.

He didn’t know when the next section was, and he didn’t know if he would fall directly. He was going crazy, and he was very scared.

He buried himself in Qi Zhixuan’s neck, greedily absorbing his scent. After a long time, he squeezed out three words.

“I’m so scared.”

Sometimes he wonders if he shouldn’t let Qi Zhixuan consider it, so he has to hold him firmly in his hands, otherwise there will be many people like the man named Jiang. He has experience, achievements, and has common topics with Qi Zhixuan.This one likes Chen Runsong, but what about the next one?When someone better than him appears next, will Qi Zhixuan still choose him?

It was so uncomfortable to think that I once ran away in embarrassment just because of a ticket to an art exhibition. I really wanted to hide Qi Zhixuan in a place where only I could see it, and no one could take it away.

Qi Zhixuan looked at the tall figure in the mirror, buried in his neck like a wronged large dog, and the words “I’m so scared” made his heart hurt.

Are you afraid of not being recognized by your family, are you afraid of strange looks, or are you afraid that you won’t be able to accompany him on this journey…

But can you stay with him forever?Will you be that person?

All his life, he always likes to think about these questions. It seems that he will love someone for the rest of his life. The last kiss was too impulsive. He shouldn’t be like this. Thinking of his failed emotional experience, he has thought about it for a lifetime. In the end, does he really have the ability to love? What to do about his illness? Will it not make people sad in the end?

But at this moment, when I saw him saying that he was afraid and holding his tight body, I suddenly didn’t want to care about it anymore. If possible, I wanted to protect him and this child who was so loving.

He turned around, stood on tiptoe, and tried to stand as tall as Pang Whale. He gently held the person in his arms and whispered, “Don’t be afraid.”

The palm of his hand fell gently, one by one, slowly stroking along Pang Whale’s back, soothing all his fears and uneasiness.

The fragrance of grass and trees on Qi Zhixuan’s body was wrapped in the moisture after bathing, gently wrapping the giant whale.He indulged in this warmth, feeling that he was being pulled back from the rickety ladder step by step, his feet slowly stepped on the soft grass, and the heart that had been hanging for a long time finally became more at ease.
