Xia You Arbor: Looking to Heaven

Chapter 81 Please take me to the end of the sky and the corner of the sea (1)
The night in late autumn was bitingly cold. It was almost early morning, and there was not even a car on the streets of Qingchen District. Occasionally, the lights of cars in the distance could be seen, and then disappeared in a flash. The empty road was full of autumn wind. When it was blown, the white plastic bags on the ground flew randomly along the road.At the end of the street lamp, two black figures came slowly. The young man walking in front was tall. He put his hands in his pockets and lowered his head slightly. His bangs were blown back by the night wind, revealing his plump Behind him was a girl who was smaller than him, with her hands tucked into her sleeves, her arms tightly hugging her body, trying to keep the little body heat on her body.

Suddenly two wild dogs jumped out of the alley and ran past the girl's feet. The girl screamed in fright, and the wild dogs were also frightened by her voice, and barked at her repeatedly. In an instant, there were bursts of dog barking on the street.

The girl was blocked by wild dogs, and she was too frightened to move. The tall boy turned around, stretched out his hand, pulled the girl to his side, and drove away all the wild dogs that had been barking at them.

"Xia Tong, you are so timid." After chasing the dog, the boy looked at the girl teasingly and said.

Xia Tong blushed a little, and he hesitated to explain: "It's too dark, I can't see them, they ran out suddenly... Actually, I'm not afraid of dogs..."

"Not afraid? Not afraid but too scared to move?"

Xia Tong lowered her head in embarrassment, no longer defending herself, and quietly followed the boy, walking and walking, after a while, she realized that his hand was still holding hers...

It's not right to talk about pulling, her hands are completely covered by the sleeves, but he just holds her wrist tightly, as if afraid of losing her, and pulls her forward.

Xia Tong secretly raised her eyes and looked at the young man walking on her right. His handsome face was a bit tired, but there was a familiar smile on his mouth. He was dressed thinner than her, but he was not shrunk like her. Instead, he stood upright in the night wind, as tall and handsome as usual.

Xia Tong's hands peeked out from her sleeves, she thought a little, wanted to touch him, even if it was just to touch the temperature of his hands...

But the young man stopped suddenly, raised his hand, pushed the rimless glasses on the bridge of his nose, smiled lightly, turned his head to look at Xia Tong and said, "Here we are."

Xia Tong was startled, quickly retracted his fingers into his sleeves, looked up and saw the train station in Qingchen District standing in front of him, different from the dim lights around him, the train station was brightly lit, as if it was lively Just started the same.

"Let's go!" The boy pulled Xia Tong up vigorously, and ran to the train station impatiently.

Arriving at the ticket office, looking at the huge electronic screen hanging on the wall of the ticket office, Xia Tong was at a loss, what should I do now?

"Qu Weiran, have you ever taken a train?" Xia Tong turned around and asked.

Qu Weiran shook his head: "No."

"Oh……"

"Do you remember your way home?"

"do not remember."

"Which province is your hometown in?"

"Yunnan."

"Then... let's go to Yunnan." Qu Weiran lowered his head, looked at Xia Tong with crooked eyes, with a little excitement in his tone.

Seeing his rare smile, Xia Tong really didn't want to hurt him, but she still couldn't help asking: "But...do we have money to buy a bus ticket?"

Qu Weiran took out his pocket, and there was still about [-] yuan in his pocket. The money was given by his mother. Every time a lunatic beat him, his mother would guiltily stuff some money into his pocket.

Qu Weiran's eyes dimmed, he squeezed the red RMB tightly with his hand, walked to the ticket gate with his lips pursed and asked, "How much is the ticket to Yunnan?"

"Where are you going in Yunnan?" The ticket seller looked at the computer screen indifferently without raising her eyes.

Qu Weiran turned to look at Xia Tong, Xia Tong thought hard, and then said, "Guan Nan."

The woman didn't wait for Qu Weiran to repeat, and said directly: "There is no direct bus."

"What should I do?"

"Transfer from Kunming, there is a bus at Shifen after 86:[-] this morning, and the hard seat is fast, [-] yuan per ticket, how many tickets do you want?" The conductor quickly checked the ticket on the computer with his fingers.

Qu Weiran leaned against the window and asked, "How long will it take?"

"Eighteen hours, how many tickets do you want?" The conductor's tone was impatient.

Qu Weiran lowered his eyes, didn't answer, turned around, and took Xia Tong away.

"Not buying a ticket?" Xia Tong asked strangely.

"What do we eat and drink after buying?"

"Then... what should I do?"

"Just follow me." Qu Weiran dragged Xia Tong directly to the waiting room. It was already past one o'clock in the morning, and the people in the waiting room were all dozing off, waiting exhaustedly for the night train.

Qu Weiran took Xia Tong to find two vacant seats and sat down. The waiting hall was much warmer than outside. Xia Tong breathed a sigh of relief, took out his shrunken hands, looked at the place in the distance that provided free hot water, and turned around. The head asked, "Are you thirsty? I'll go get you some hot water."

Qu Weiran closed his eyes, took off his glasses, rubbed the bridge of his nose, shook his head and said, "I'm not thirsty."

Xia Tong said "oh", hesitated for a while, then stood up and said, "I'm thirsty..."

Qu Weiran slowly opened his closed eyes, put on his glasses, pulled Xia Tong who had walked two steps back and sat down, stood up and looked down at her and said, "I'll go, don't pour a glass of water before you come back lost."

"I...how can I be so stupid?" Xia Tong glared at him dissatisfied.

Qu Weiran shrugged with a smile, without arguing with her, he raised his legs and walked through the crowd. Xia Tong sat on the seat, with his hands supporting the chair, his neck raised long, and his eyes were fixed on Qu Weiran.In fact, even if she doesn't stare at him like that, she won't disappear into the crowd. Qu Weiran has a kind of aura, like a light, shining everywhere, Xia Tong's feet began to swing unconsciously, There is also a faint smile on the corner of the mouth.She watched Qu Weiran go to the place where free water was poured, and looked around with her head down, as if she didn't find what she needed, her pretty brows frowned slightly, he stopped for a moment, turned around and walked into the waiting hall I went to the canteen, tilted my head slightly, and opened my mouth slightly to the aunt who was selling things. I didn’t know what to say. The aunt turned around with a smile on her face, and after a while, she handed him a glass. Weiran thanked her with a smile, her movements were graceful and polite, the aunt's smile deepened, she happily took out a few biscuits from her pocket and gave them to him, Qu Weiran accepted it with a smile, turned around and went back to the place where the water was collected, The cup was hot, and then poured half a cup of hot water, and walked back with it.

Xia Tong stood up early, as if he was afraid of scalding him, he took a few steps outside, raised his hands high, trying to pick up the water glass in his hand, but Qu Weiran dodged it, and said in a low voice: "Idiot, It's hot."

Xia Tong was stunned by his scolding, and blinked his eyes lightly. For some reason, he suddenly felt warm in his heart.

That day, Xia Tong held the water that Qu Weiran brought for her, and drank it slowly in small sips. The boiling water, with a somewhat hot temperature, scalded hard into her heart.

She suddenly remembered what Qu Weiran said, he said, tell her not to be too nice to him...

However, my mother said that the kindness of a drop of water should be repaid by a spring. He gave her such a big glass of water, and it was boiling hot water...

Then...then...then she should treat him well, treat him very well...

very good.

Holding the water glass, Xia Tong secretly glanced at Qu Weiran, he dozed off lightly, his beautiful head was bit by bit, his glasses were hanging on the bridge of his nose, his handsome face was a little immature because of his deep sleep, At this time, he was more like a 14-year-old boy...

"Train K1452 is starting to check tickets. Passengers, please bring your luggage and check tickets into the station."

A stiff woman's voice came from the broadcasting station at the train station. People who were dozing off on their seats hurriedly picked up their luggage and stood up. Xia Tong pushed Qu Weiran and called in a low voice, "The train is coming."

Qu Weiran gently opened his eyes, stood up, and grabbed Xia Tong's wrist: "Follow me closely."

Xia Tong nodded vigorously, and the two thin bodies walked towards the ticket gate bit by bit with the flow of people. On the right side of the gap, I took the passenger’s ticket and cut a small hole with small scissors. Some passengers were in a hurry to get on the bus, but just took the ticket in their hands and walked in. The ticket inspector didn’t chase after him. Qu Weiran Taking advantage of the time when the ticket inspector was checking tickets, Xia Tong quickly passed through the gap on the left, and then ran straight into the platform. The two of them ran until the underground passage before stopping. After taking a few deep breaths, the two looked at each other with a little excitement in their eyes.

"Let's go." Qu Weiran tightened Xia Tong, walked through the passage, and boarded the train platform. The carriages stretched into the distance one by one. There was a conductor standing at the door of each carriage, and the passengers on the train were a bit chaotic. The team handed the tickets to the conductor one by one before boarding the train.

Xia Tong asked worriedly, "What should I do?"

Qu Weiran lowered his eyes slightly, let go of Xia Tong's hand and said, "I'll distract the ticket inspector's attention later, you take the opportunity to get on the bus."

"how about you?"

"Don't worry about me, I'm sure I can go up."

"But……"

"Don't worry, you go up first, just wait for me in this carriage, I will definitely come to you."

Xia Tong was still a little worried, but when he saw Qu Weiran's confident eyes, he really hid himself and nodded vigorously.Qu Weiran straightened her clothes, shook her hand vigorously, and then let her go.Looking at the empty hand, Xia Tong suddenly felt that the temperature of his whole body was gone with his withdrawal.
