Chapter 88 You are my first love ten years late (2)

"What the hell is going on..." Xu Qichen sat on the sofa in the living room and asked Xia Zhixu in a low voice, "Why didn't you tell me..."

Mama Xia brought a plate of sliced ​​oranges from the kitchen, "You guys have some fruit first. Have you had breakfast yet? Let me get you some noodles?"

Xu Qichen was very embarrassed, but as soon as Mama Xia approached him, he subconsciously stood up.

"Sit, sit." Mama Xia smiled kindly and pressed him back on the sofa.

Dad Xia also came out of the bedroom, "Why don't you serve them ravioli, didn't you pack fresh ones yesterday?" Eat more later."

Xu Qichen quickly nodded with a smile, he didn't know what was going on right now. Seeing Xia Zhixu's parents being so kind, he felt apologetic in his heart.

Maybe they thought their son brought friends home to play.

Would they be furious if they knew the truth?

A lot of strange images began to appear in his mind, such as Xia Zhixu kneeling on the ground crying bitterly, Xia's mother fainting, and Xia's father shouting "I'll kill you, you bastard" and so on. punching and kicking...

"What are you thinking?" Xia Zhixu bumped his arm, "Are you still sleepy?"

Xu Qichen shook his head quickly, without saying a word.

"Do you want an orange?"

Xu Qichen shook his head.

"Drink tea?"

Xu Qichen still shook his head.

Xia Zhi was happy, and he leaned into his ear and whispered, "Little Xu, you are so nervous."

Xu Qichen glared at him, moved to the side as if to avoid suspicion, and glanced at Dad Xia, who was pressing the remote control to turn on the morning news.

"Qichen." Dad Xia said suddenly, the name startled Xu Qichen, he was like a child who didn't want to answer the question but his name was called by the teacher, he shook a little, and responded weakly, "Hey..."

Dad Xia smiled and said in a kind tone, "Don't be afraid, I just wanted to ask, did you follow Professor Wang Dunshan when you were in college?"

Xu Qichen felt puzzled, how could Dad Xia know this, he nodded, "Yeah."

"Oh, that's you," Dad Xia smiled, "Professor Wang is my old classmate, and we keep in touch with each other. He always mentioned to me one of his favorite students a few years ago, also called Xu Qichen. I thought this name was very interesting, so I remembered it. I didn't expect it to be you."

It turned out to be like this, Xu Qichen smiled humbly: "Professor Wang was willing to bother me."

Dad Xia shook his head, "He said, you are talented. Most of today's children live in a well-off environment, and they already lack the compassion needed to create literature. Old Wang often said, Xiao Xu this Children are born with a sense of compassion, which is rare for literary creation." He took a sip of water, "I have read what you wrote, and it is really good."

Xia Zhixu, who was also drinking water, took a sip. Xu Qichen glanced at him, touched his knee with his knee, and whispered, "Your dad is talking about a book I wrote under my real name."

"Oh, that's it," Xia Zhixu put down the cup in his hand with a smile, "Dad, go on."

"A magazine I've been subscribed to has included an essay written by you last month, which I think is very interesting. Nowadays, when people write essays, they tend to criticize reality with a sharp and sharp style, especially the kind that imitates Lu Xun. The style of the article you write is very calm, but the core inside is cruel, and there is a feeling of surging undercurrents."

Xia Zhixu said with a smile, "My dad is the only literary and artistic youth in our family. He despised me and my brother all day long, two engineering men with no literary literacy. Now I have finally found a soulmate. It's not easy."

He deliberately reread the words without literary literacy, Xu Qichen lowered his head and smiled, "Thank you Uncle Xia, I didn't expect you to read my article, I'm really ashamed."

Originally, Dad Xia wanted to talk, but Mama Xia suddenly came out of the kitchen, "Don't talk about it, come and eat wontons, the children are starving."

Xia Zhixu pushed Xu Qichen up, brought him to the dining table, and sat next to him, while Father Xia and Mother Xia sat opposite them.

"Eat more. You must have a good breakfast. You young people don't like to eat breakfast. It's not good for your health." Mama Xia put the spoon in the bowl in front of Xu Qichen.

"Thank you auntie."

Xu Qichen scooped one and put it in his mouth. The hot wonton had a thin skin and a big filling. He took a bite and it filled his mouth with fragrance.

"Is it tasty?"

Xu Qichen nodded with a smile.

As he was eating, he found that Mama Xia had been staring at him with a rather loving look, Xu Qichen put down the spoon in a daze, and touched his face, "Is there something on my face..."

Mama Xia smiled, "No, no, I just think you are good-looking and clean, and you look like a good boy."

Xu Qichen buried his head and felt embarrassed. He didn't know what to say, so he had to eat the wontons one bite after another, occasionally raising his head, watching the family of three doing their homework, talking about the newly married brother and sister-in-law, and felt Especially warm.

It has been a long time since he felt this most ordinary family atmosphere. Since he went to college, he and his aunt have only met during the holidays. Besides, he has grown up, and it is not convenient to live together. After graduation, he moved out. , lived alone for three years.

Now suddenly entering this atmosphere, he felt like a rabbit who had frozen in the wild was suddenly rescued, wrapped in a thick blanket and placed by the fireplace.

After breakfast, Xu Qichen immediately got up to clean up the dishes, "Auntie, I'll help you."

Mama Xia, who was carrying a few bowls, smiled at him, "Okay, just put it in the kitchen for me."

Xu Qichen took the dishes and put them in the sink, rolled up his sleeves and turned on the faucet. Mama Xia walked in, "Oh, just put it down, you can go watch TV with them."

"Soon, let me help you." Xu Qichen insisted on washing the dishes, but Mama Xia didn't stop her, she stood by and watched.

I washed two bowls and put them on the countertop. Mama Xia suddenly touched Xu Qichen's head.

"Child, you have worked hard for so many years."

Xu Qichen stopped washing dishes, holding a bowl in his wet hands. He turned to look at Mama Xia with doubts and astonishment in his eyes.

When Xia Zhixu brought himself in, he clearly only introduced his name to them, and said nothing else.

"Actually, as soon as you entered, I knew it was you." Mama Xia smiled softly.

Xia Zhixu's three-dimensional outline is exactly the same as his father's, but his eyebrows and eyes are more like his mother's, with beautiful eyes when he smiles, "Although he didn't say it explicitly, I guessed it at once, for so many years, Zhixu has never brought anyone back. ."

Xu Qichen felt a little nervous and nervous in his heart. He lowered his head again and dipped the bowl in his hand in the sink, "Auntie, our relationship..."

"I know." Xia's mother wiped the bowl he washed with a clean kitchen cloth. "The two sons I gave birth to are both stubborn. The older ones are all focused on a girl and chase after them. After so many years, it has finally come to fruition.”

She smiled, "As for this little boy, since high school, I asked him if he had a favorite little girl. I know that many people like him and deliberately tease him, but he never said no. This kid suddenly seems to be a different person. He only knows how to study every day and doesn't say anything. In fact, we don't have such high requirements on him, and he can take any college entrance examination, as long as he has the same cheerful personality as before."

Xia's mother put the bowl in the cupboard, "but he didn't say anything, went to college, and it's time to fall in love, every time I come back from vacation I ask him if he has a girlfriend, he always smiles and says no It's not that I'm bragging, I don't think my son is so bad that he can't get a girlfriend, do you think so?"

Xu Qichen lowered his head, only smiled, but did not speak.

"Later, when he came back from graduation, he started an IT company and was so tired that he told me that he was not free when he was in love. Everyone is not right, I am very worried, I want to take him to see a doctor, but he was standing at the door and suddenly knelt down to me." Mama Xia seemed to be talking about a very funny thing , laughed so hard that he could not see his teeth but his eyes. "It scared me at the time, and I thought my son was really sick."

"Why did he..."

Mama Xia sighed slightly, "He said he likes men. Don't look at me now, as if I'm nothing. I was also taken aback and didn't believe it. But he was very serious and said I'm sorry for us, I hope we can forgive him. At first, his father was also very angry. We didn’t know what we were angry about. accept that fact.”

Xu Qichen's mood was very complicated, he didn't know what to say, his fingers dipped in the water and became stiff and clumsy.

"But my stupid son doesn't want to tell me who the person he likes is." Mama Xia's expression was very cute, "I accept that he likes boys, but he brought me back to have a look. I asked him every day, and he just wouldn't say anything, and later told me that the person he likes can never like him."

Mama Xia breathed a sigh of relief, "Tell me, how bad my luck is, neither of my two sons is good enough." As she spoke, she touched Xu Qichen's back, "I didn't have any hope at all. Well, I didn't expect him to bring you back today, and his dad and I understood at a glance."

"Chenchen, you look like a good boy, I trust my son's vision." Xia's mother's tone was a little choked, "He is very stubborn and naive, and has a lot of minor problems, sometimes he just follows a It's the same as a child, but he really likes you and has worked for you for so many years, so Auntie is very happy today, and you don't have to have any burdens, we've been looking forward to your coming."

"Knowing Xu told me when he was a freshman in high school that one of his friends had a car accident. I was very distressed when I heard it, and I remembered your name at that time. The fate between you may really be doomed by God. Yes." She grabbed Xu Qichen's hand, wiped him like a real mother, then gave him a hug and patted his back lightly, "From today, I have a third Son. Mom can't do anything else. I still have many years of experience in raising sons."

The soreness in his chest finally surged out at this moment, and the tip of his nose was sore. He bent over and buried his head between Mama Xia's neck. After a long silence, he finally choked up and said, "Thank you."

Mama Xia touched the back of his neck one after another, "Family, don't say thank you."

"Mom, Dad said he couldn't find him..." Xia Zhixu suddenly walked to the door of the kitchen and saw the two people inside, standing dumbfounded. Seeing this, Mama Xia patted Xu Qichen on the back and spoke casually. , "I can't find anything. I don't put it away every day, Chenchen, follow Zhixu to his room to rest. If you're sleepy, sleep for a while."

Xu Qichen turned his back to Xia Zhixu and hummed.

Seeing his mother walk into the living room, Xia Zhixu walked in only then, leaned in front of Xu Qichen and put his arms around his waist, "What did she say to you? Why are you crying?"

Xu Qichen turned his face away, "I didn't cry."

Xia Zhixu touched his face and kissed his eyes, "I'm not crying, it's just watery, and it's almost too full to fall out."

Xu Qichen glanced at him complainingly, then put his head on his shoulder, and asked in a muffled voice, "Why did you tell them in advance?"

"She told you all about it." Xia Zhixu sighed, "It's really my mother."

"Don't change the subject." Xu Qichen rubbed against his shoulder, his voice was a little nasal, sounding glutinous.

Xia Zhixu couldn't stand his coquetry in disguise, so he had to explain honestly, "It's been so many years, I think I should let it go. But the first time I saw you at the class reunion, I felt so uncomfortable, five internal organs. It's the kind of unpleasant feeling that all six internal organs are twisting and hurting."

"At that time, I thought that I would probably never fall in love with other people in my life. My mother and the others were worried about my feelings, maybe because of my brother. I thought about it for a long time after I went back, and didn't want to waste everyone's time and relationship. I have enough energy, so I just come out, so they won't rush me to find a partner."

His palm lightly touched the back of Xu Qichen's head, "Actually, I'm still holding on to a fluke, in case one day, I mean in case, I can be with you, in case you also like me, I can take you to see them, you don’t need to do any preparations at all, and you don’t need to have any psychological burden, because I have done all of this by myself a few years ago, which is great.”

Simply a fool. Xu Qichen hugged Xia Zhixu's back, and his nose started to sore again.

Xia Zhixu hugged the person in his arms contentedly, "Fortunately, I am a dreamer."

His soft laugh is always nice.

A person who dare not dream is pulled into a virtual dream by a person who lives by dreams.

Make this dream a reality.

Xia Zhixu was afraid that he would be tired, so he led him into his room. It was different from what Xu Qichen had imagined. Xia Zhixu's room was quite big, but it was full. There was a cabinet of robot models and a cabinet of trophies. The single bed looked small, but the dark blue sheets felt like Pretty soft.

Xu Qichen walked to the bed and saw a photo on it with two little boys in it, it looked like they were in elementary school, "Is this you and your brother?"

"Yeah." Xia Zhixu sat beside him, "This was taken when my brother graduated from elementary school and our family went to the beach to play and film."

Xu Qichen stared at Xiao Zhixu in the photo who was wearing a straw hat and smirking with his head raised, the corners of his mouth could not help curling up, "You two look alike, but your brother doesn't have tiger teeth."

"I was the only one in our family who had tiger teeth. When I was in junior high school, I thought it was very strange and wanted to pull it out. My mother took me to the dental clinic for a walk. When I saw those tools, I was frightened and ran away. My mother chased after me. took me half a street."

Xu Qichen put down the photo and said with a smile, "I've heard this story."

Xia Zhixu was a little puzzled, "How is that possible?"

"Xia Xiqing told me. When he was in high school, he told me a lot about your childhood."

Xia Zhixu deliberately put on an unhappy expression and lengthened his voice, "Really?"

Xu Qichen stood up and turned to his desk again, "Yes, at that time I was so envious of him that I could grow up with you."

Hearing this sentence, Xia Zhixu's heart beat wildly, he didn't expect Xu Qichen to think like this, he walked behind him, wrapped his arms around his waist, resting his chin on his shoulder, "So You love me so much."

Xu Qichen didn't speak. He saw two celestial models on Xia Zhixu's table. He felt it was very novel, and he reached out and dialed it, "So you are also interested in astronomy?"

"My brother gave it to me. At that time..."

Halfway through his words, he suddenly stopped speaking. Xu Qichen was a little strange. He turned his head and looked at him, only to see Xia Zhixu smiling, "It's nothing."

"When you say there is nothing, there must be something." Xu Qichen turned around, faced him, and squeezed his face with both hands, "Come on."

Xia Zhixu shook his head.

Xu Qichen's curiosity was aroused, and he didn't hesitate to use the method of acting like a spoiled child, "Come on." His mouth was deflated, and his amber pupils looked into Xia Zhixu's eyes.

Xia Zhixu sighed, as if he had completely conceded defeat, he held down the table, stretched out his hand and pulled all the curtains, and the whole room was suddenly dark.

"What are you doing?" Xu Qichen was a little puzzled. He had experienced so much in the virtual world that he couldn't help thinking about it. Xia Zhixu didn't speak, he took his hand all the way to the bed, and then deliberately pushed him onto the bed with a smile that was not a smile on his face.

Xu Qichen was a little nervous all of a sudden, Xia Zhixu leaned over and pressed his entire body on top of him, slowly sinking his face, the distance was shortened all of a sudden, and the tip of the nose almost touched. Xu Qichen closed his eyes nervously, but heard a beep.

It sounded like something electronic was being activated.

He opened his eyes and looked over Xia Zhixu's shoulders to the ceiling.

The original mundane and dark ceiling has become a vast universe, and the rose-colored nebula slowly floats, emitting a mysterious light.

Xu Qichen was a little stunned, the man on his body fell over and lay on the bed side by side with him.

"Is this a projection?"

"Forget it, I made it myself." Xia Zhixu held a small remote control in his hand. He pressed a few times, and the nebula gradually enlarged, and seemed to be getting closer in the field of vision, spreading, spreading, until Finally, two glowing planets appeared.

"You can think of them as the two planets on my desk." Xia Zhixu stared at the universe on the ceiling, "The day you left, I chased after the bus for a long time, and you probably didn't see it. I I went home soaked wet. On the same day, my parents went out for a party with friends. Only my brother was at home. He was at home for the Mid-Autumn Festival. Seeing my appearance, he immediately understood what was going on. It was probably because of the same sickness. "Xia Zhixu laughed inappropriately.

Xu Qichen turned his face and looked at Xia Zhixu.

"I was very sad at the time, he asked me what was wrong, and it took me a long time to speak." Starlight projected on Xia Zhixu's face, flashing a strange light, "I told him that I fell in love with someone who can only do A friend of mine. But now, I can't seem to be his friend anymore."

Although he said it with a smile, Xu Qichen's heart began to hurt.

"My brother took me to his room and showed me two planets. He told me that there is a very interesting definition in astronomy called the Roche limit. Planets and moons will continue to approach under the action of gravity, But there is a minimum distance between them that remains safe, and that distance is the Roche limit."

"stay safe?"

Xia Zhixu nodded, the two planets on the ceiling slowly approached each other, everything seemed peaceful and soothing.

"Once the Roche limit is exceeded, the powerful tidal force will tear the satellite to shreds."

At this moment, the beautiful planet suddenly shattered, like a burst of fireworks, and in the field of vision, only the lonely spinning planet remained.

"Then my brother told me that you may have exceeded the Roche limit. I asked him, what should I do, he told me coldly at the time, once you have the idea of ​​approaching, you must do it well. A broken consciousness." Xia Zhixu smiled, "I was so sad at that time, I felt like he wasn't enlightening me at all."

Xu Qichen said softly, "Then what?"

Xia Zhixu looked at the ceiling, "Look."

Following his words, Xu Qichen's eyes returned to the small universe. The smashed and collapsed planet turned into a large swathe of splendid stardust, gradually gathered around the lonely planet, and evolved into a dazzling and beautiful ring, embracing the planet in its arms.

"Actually, the ending wasn't that bad." Xia Zhixu held Xu Qichen's hand and intertwined his fingers.

"It's good to use a broken body for an eternal hug."

Xu Qichen stared blankly at the planet surrounded by a halo on the ceiling, an indescribable emotion surged in his chest, just like the nebula just now, constantly spreading in his dark chest.

Xia Zhixu turned over, put the hand they were holding to the side of his face, and intertwined his fingers. His handsome yet childish face blocked most of the stars and became close at hand.

Xu Qichen's light-colored pupils were slightly enlarged, and the vast galaxy filled them.

Xia Zhixu lowered his head slightly and rubbed the tip of Xu Qichen's nose affectionately, his voice low.

In the silent and lonely universe, a deep and peaceful signal suddenly came.

"My asteroid, it's been around you for so long, shouldn't it be time to give me a reward?"
