Picking Up Stars - Chapter 55

[Chapter 55]
At this time last year, Qin Fang and Xing Yan had just started to get acquainted with each other. They often took a seat in the library together, and occasionally made an appointment for a meal. Later, Qin Fang went home with him as soon as he took a summer vacation, and came into contact with a different kind of punishment.
He sat in the side fight of Xingyan, trampled the wind under his feet on the highway together, went to unfamiliar places with those strangers, and felt the sky and the never-ending road. That is true freedom.
Now he is sitting on Xing Yan’s back seat, his hands are on his thin waist, and the sky above his head is still the same. He is already too familiar with Xing Yan’s back seat.
In fact, looking back now, it’s only been a year or so.
Feng Zhe had a lot of sentimentality for a while before, but now that melancholy has disappeared, and he has become a carefree little fool again. He sat in the back seat of Cheng Dong and shouted loudly, thinking that Cheng Dong was not fast enough and not exciting. Cheng Dong annoyed him so much that he almost stopped and threw him on the road.
After returning from the end, Feng Zhe complained to Fan Linyi, saying that Cheng Dongbai had been playing with the car for a year and could not run at all.
“You’re going to fly, brother,” Cheng Dong was speechless, “Do you want to take off directly?”
“I just don’t know it, and I don’t have a certificate. Should I still use you?” Feng Zhe sat next to Fan Linyi and said, “We both have the whole certificate?”
“Forget it,” Qin Fang said to him, “Just your character, it’s too crazy to play, and it’s not safe.”
Fan Linyi nodded and said, “Forget it.”
Feng Zhe next year After graduation, he will go abroad, and his family has already arranged for him. Feng Zhe thought a lot before and it was probably related to this. Fan Linyi didn’t want to go out with him before, Feng Zhe couldn’t screw up the house, and he couldn’t screw Xiao Fan, but he was still a little unwilling to let him go like this.
Looking at his joyous energy now, it is estimated that Fan Linyi has compromised and is willing to go with him. They have been playing together for so many years, and they are really inseparable. Feng Zhe is actually quite dependent on people.
Feng Zhe also urged Qin Fang: “Let’s go together? Go out to play for a few years.”
Qin Fang shook his head: “What are you playing, how old are you?”
“I don’t care.” Feng Zhe leaned back on the sofa with a smile, “I just want to play.”
“Then you can have fun. Qin Fang said with a smile, “Xiao Fan is going crazy with you.” When you
go out, you can’t get together as often as you do now. Feng Zhe pushes people to go abroad with him every day, for fear that no one will play with him. In addition to Fan Linyi, Qin Fang was his first target, chanting sutras endlessly in Qin Fang’s ears.
Qin Fang said, “I don’t have any idea of going abroad at all. No matter how much you say, it’s useless.”
After Xing Yan changed his clothes upstairs, Feng Zhe looked up at Xing Yan, nodded and said, “Yes, brother Yan. Here, where are you going?”
Qin Fang smiled and said nothing.
After a while, Feng Zhe patted the sofa next to him, suddenly thought of it, and said, “You two can be together!”
Fan Linyi made a “tsk” beside him, and said in a low voice, “Shut up…”
Qin Fang laughed: ” We are free, what are we going out to toss about.”
Fan Linyi pinched Feng Zhe’s arm, Feng Zhe glanced at him, and didn’t say any more.
They don’t know much about Xing Yan, and Qin Fang won’t tell them about Xing Yan. Feng Zhe usually contacts friends with similar conditions, so he agrees that Xing Yan is the same. Later, when they went out to eat, they each took their own car. Fan Linyi said to Feng Zhe, “When you are talking, you have a good mind, so don’t think about what to say.”
Feng Zhe also asked him, “What did I say wrong? What am I doing?”
Fan Linyi said, “You know what’s going on in someone’s family, so you should just think about playing like you?”
“They don’t have to play, it’s not impossible to study hard and improve every day. Wouldn’t it be better?” Feng Zhe looked puzzled.
Fan Linyi was reluctant to say this, but Feng Zhe, an idiot, had nothing in his mind. Fan Linyi asked him later, “Are you going to give me money?”
Feng Zhe blinked and said, “Brother Fang is not short of money.”
Fan Linyi glanced at him, and Feng Zhe understood a little. After a while, he smiled and shook his head: “You mean Xingyan? Who cares about money? What should I do, you worry too much.”
He was right, Fan Linyi reminded him just because he was afraid that he would say the wrong thing, and felt that he thought too much.
Qin Fang had never thought about going abroad, and had never thought about it before. But after having a meal with Feng Zhe and the others, it suddenly occurred to me.
After dinner, when Xing Yan was taking a shower in the bathroom, Qin Fang stood at the door and asked him, “Brother Yan, do you want to go abroad and continue reading?”
Xing Yan had finished flushing the water, and when he heard the words, he turned off the shower and looked up at Qin Fang.
Qin Fang said: “I don’t mean anything else, it’s just that Feng Zheyi said that I thought about it. Actually, if you study chemistry… it would be better if you go out and continue reading. If you think about other things… it’s not a problem. , there is me.”
Xing Yan kept looking at him, his eyes were wet, and he was a little red from the agitation. Qin Fang was a little embarrassed by him, touched his nose with the back of his hand, and said, “I’m serious. Do you want to go?”
Xing Yan came out of the shower, took a bath towel and wiped the water, but he didn’t say anything. Qin Fang took another towel and wiped Xing Yan’s hair indiscriminately. Qin Fang said: “I’m actually… very rich, and it’s very easy for us to go to school. So you only need to consider whether you want to go or not, and nothing else matters.”
Qin Fang said it very seriously , he is really planning for their future. He said that he did not want to comfort Xing Yan because he had money, he did not lack it. His grandfather planned a lot for him. After all, he no longer had a mother. He was afraid that he would be angry with his stepmother in the future, and he was also afraid that he would suffer. Before the old man left, he made it clear to Qin Fang’s father: “What I left for Xing’er will always belong to him, you can’t move.”
Qin Fang’s father nodded and promised at that time.
Xing Yan showed his face from under Qin Fang’s towel, Qin Fang kissed him on the mouth, and said, “You have to be free.”
Qin Fang was seriously considering this matter, but Xing Yan never said anything. He just hugged Qin Fang hard later. Qin Fang didn’t dare to say too much, for fear of putting pressure on Xing Yan, he didn’t want Xing Yan to feel that there was a big gap between them, no matter what. Xing Yan hugged Qin Fang and touched his head.
Xing Yan said to him, “I’ll tell you something when you finish the exam.”
Qin Fang asked, “What’s the matter? You have to wait for me to finish the exam, you can say what you want.”
“Wait until you finish the exam . .” Xing Yan kissed Qin Fang’s ear, and then kissed again. With his hands on his neck and his palms against Qin Fang’s skin, the temperature of his palms was a little hot.
Qin Fang was a little itchy when he kissed him, smiled and said, “I’ll finish the exam and it’s almost Valentine’s Day.”
Xing Yan closed his eyes and said, “Okay.”
This should be the last exam month for Qin Fang. He will have no exams starting next semester. Qin Fang began to go to the library study room every day. Sometimes there would be a scholar sitting next to him, but the scholar did not learn the same thing with him. The junior year was a professional course, and he couldn’t help him.
Hua Tong occasionally came to ask them to study together. He was also a university tyrant, not as good as Xing Yan, but he was quite good. When Qin Fang was reviewing, he looked up at the two great gods and was under a lot of pressure.
In the dormitory, Chen Ke and Shen Dengke have almost packed their things, and they can leave after they get their diplomas. Shen Dengke was a little melancholy every day, and he didn’t dare to say it, but he should be very reluctant to live in this dormitory for four years, and also reluctant to these two roommates. Therefore, Qin Fang has been living in the dormitory a lot recently, and the three of them often go out to eat and drink at night, mainly because the two of them drink, and Qin Fang will bring them back after drinking too much.
Fortunately, Qin Fang will no longer have to live in the school next year, otherwise he will be left alone after the two brothers graduate.
Shen Dengke made arrangements for him, saying that he would go out to live with Xing Yan in his senior year, and that the dormitory should be retired. Qin Fang still doesn’t know where he will be next year, and he doesn’t need to retire from the dormitory, but he really doesn’t think he can live for a few days.
Their graduation ceremony was on the 10th. Before that, their school had a graduation party, and each college had their own party one after another. Xing Yan didn’t attend. That night, he accompanied Qin Fang to review the exam until ten o’clock.
On the day of the ceremony, Han Xiaogong really went and had to take a photo with Xing Yan. At that time, before the ceremony started, I had to go to the library in the morning to take a graduation photo. After taking the group photo, Han Xiaogong didn’t let Xing Yan take off his bachelor’s uniform. Xing Yan thought he was annoying and didn’t take the photo with him. Han Xiaogong forced him to take the photo. Han Xiaogong also went to Zhou Siming to be annoying, Qin Fang looked at Zhou Siming from a distance and glared at Han Xiaogong several times. Han Xiaogong didn’t mind either, and asked his classmates next to them to take pictures of them. He also put his hand around Zhou Siming’s shoulder. Zhou Siming looked impatient, but he still took several pictures.
Someone in the school recognized Han Xiaogong, and a few girls came over to ask him to take pictures. Han Xiaogong happily accompanied him to take pictures, and told them that he was graduating happily, like a gentle brother.
The girls were very excited and asked him if he could post on Weibo.
Han Xiaogong said: “Of course you can, what’s not allowed. I can also give you a thumbs up.”
“Ah, ah, you are a fairy!”
Qin Fang looked at him from a distance, and laughed with a “puchi”, Xing Yan asked him to laugh What, Qin Fang pointed to that side with his chin and said, “The little girl praised him as a fairy.”
Han Xiaogong also smiled helplessly, and said, “If you have to praise it, then it’s a fairy.”
“Yes, a fairy! “The girl nodded.
When Han Xiaogong came back from taking the photo there, Qin Fang asked him, “The fairy came back?”
“Come back.” Han Xiaogong smiled indifferently, “The two eldest brothers are too lazy to pay attention to me, there are still people who are willing to take pictures with me.”
Xing Yan had already taken off his bachelor’s uniform and casually grabbed it in his hand. This clothes was too ugly.
Later, Xing Yan has to attend a ceremony. Not all students have to go. Each college has several outstanding representatives, and the principal will issue the degree certificate in person. How could Xing Yan be missing at this time, he was the first in the School of Chemistry.
Xing Yan and the others sat in the front, Qin Fang and Han Xiaogong joined in the fun and sat in the back. There were too many people in the stair hall. They sat in the penultimate row, very close to the air-conditioning outlet.
The principal and the vice-principal who spoke in front were all with Mai, and the sound was amplified very loudly, and there were a few people in front of them who specialized in taking pictures and videos. Every year, the graduation ceremony can be popular on the Internet, and now the principals are very interesting in their speeches.
Each college stood in a row of outstanding graduates, wearing bachelor’s uniforms and bachelor’s caps, looking a little silly. Qin Fang just waited to watch Xing Yan, and Han Xiaogong wanted to take a picture of Xing Yan from a distance.
“Many fans from your school know you.” Han Xiaogong whispered.
Qin Fang said: “Sometimes there are girls who don’t know us to say hello, hey, it’s too popular.”
Han Xiaogong looked at the photos he took with Xing Yan and Zhou Siming before, Qin Fang asked him, “Do you want to post it?
” It’s silly not to post it.” Han Xiaogong looked down at the photo and smiled, “I just took a couple of pictures to keep in mind.”
“Why are you saying this so strangely?” Qin Fang said, “Where are you going?”
Han Xiaogong thought for a while and said, “I don’t know, let’s talk about it.”
Although their school is a comprehensive university, the School of Chemistry is the strongest in their school, ranking very high in the country. When Xing Yan and the others stood up, the screen displayed the academic achievements of the outstanding students of their current chemistry college, and Xing Yan himself took up several pages.
In his speech, the dean also mentioned a few students. When talking about Xing Yan, the audience was restless on a small scale. After all, he was a star of the School of Chemistry.
Qin Fang had a beautiful expression, and whispered to Han Xiaogong, “My brother Yan is great.”
Han Xiaogong said, “He really likes chemistry. He has been doing this since junior high school.”
Qin Fang listened to the dean of the chemistry college. After giving a speech, he looked at his boyfriend who was standing in front of him with no expression. “He’s very good. Right?
”
Han Xiaogong told Qin Fang that Xing Yan’s liking for chemistry may be inherited from his genes. Xing Yan’s father was originally an engineer, and this is what he studied, and so did his mother. When the chemical factory exploded, Xingyan suddenly lost his parents, but he didn’t hate chemistry, he still loved it.
Qin Fang listened to this, looked at the results of Xing Yan on the big screen in front of him, and also looked at the most shining and handsome brother Yan on the stage. He felt that Xing Yan should continue to do this, he should not stop, he belongs to chemistry and should continue to do the experiments he likes.
Han Xiaogong said, “I’ve seen several rows of people, and it’s just your boyfriend who is pleasing to the eye.”
After the dean’s speech ended, Qin Fang followed and applauded. He said to Han Xiaogong, “I suddenly felt that I should let him continue reading, and want him to continue to study this.”
Han Xiaogong glanced at him and said nothing. The dean on the stage was issuing degree certificates to the graduates. Han Xiaogong asked him, “You haven’t talked to him about this?”
Qin Fang shook his head and said, “No, he doesn’t like to talk about it. I don’t know why he doesn’t want to study anymore. Is it because of… money? I don’t know him very well in this regard. If it’s because of some messy external factors, then it’s not OK. I’m afraid of it.”
Qin Fang’s voice was very low when he spoke, Han Xiaogong looked at it. Looking at his mouth shape, half-listening and half-guessing. After Qin Fang finished speaking, Han Xiaogong didn’t speak. He looked at Xing Yan in front of him and just shook his head.
Xing Yan stood in the middle, and the degree certificate was issued to him. When he arrived, the dean deliberately stopped and said a few words.
“Xing Yan, a talented student.” The dean stood beside him with a smile, patted Xing Yan on the shoulder, and said facing the audience, “I said I couldn’t keep him even if I took him personally, I said let him be My last closed disciple, I still have to leave.”
Xing Yan smiled and shook his head gently.
The dean’s face shows the kind of admiration for the proud disciple, which can be seen in his eyes. Holding Xing Yan’s degree certificate in his hand, he was reluctant to hand it out.
The dean patted Xingyan on the shoulder again, said the name of the school, and nodded, “Good job, study hard, and come back after study.”
The school’s name was too loud, and Qin Fang didn’t react at first. Xing Yan’s face changed.
Before Xingyan arrived, Qin Fang only focused on talking to Han Xiaogong and didn’t pay attention. Later, Qin Fang discovered that when the dean sent each student, the student’s results and the next direction would be displayed on the screen. and schools that are ready to continue.
There is a prominent school name on Xing Yan’s page.
Qin Fang’s first reaction after he regained his senses was excitement. His eyes were full of pride and surprise. He had never experienced this feeling in himself. Now Qin Fang suddenly understood the parents who gave birth to gifted children. This analogy may not be appropriate, but Qin Fang himself felt that the mood at that time was like a proud parent.
He was so excited for half an hour that the previous colleges had changed several times, and Qin Fang recovered from that energy.
Han Xiaogong knew that he was going to boast again, so he said with a smile, “Your boyfriend is so good.”
“Thank you.” Qin Fang smiled and nodded, “I think so too.”
Han Xiaogong patted his shoulder, He sighed and said, “…Where did he pick you up from?” The
initial emotions passed, and reason gradually returned, and many thoughts gradually became clear.
The smile on Qin Fang’s face gradually disappeared, and the voices of the deans of the various colleges were still very loud, but Qin Fang couldn’t hear them clearly. The air conditioner might be too cold, and Qin Fang felt more and more cold. It was so cold on her body, but her palms were sweaty.
He lowered his eyes, and his mind began to work sluggishly. He seemed to sort out a lot of things in an instant, and it seemed that he couldn’t sort out anything at all. The brain is like an old machine, the gears are stuck and can’t move.
Han Xiaogong looked at him sideways, touched his arm, and called him.
When Qin Fang raised his head, his face was a little ugly, he looked at Han Xiaogong and asked him what was wrong.
Han Xiaogong raised his eyebrows slightly and asked softly, “Are you okay?”
“What’s wrong with me?” Qin Fangxu clenched his fists and rubbed his index knuckles with his thumbs. After a moment of silence, he asked Han Xiaogong, “You… do you all know he’s leaving?”
Han Xiaogong pursed his lips, and finally didn’t speak.
Qin Fang nodded and asked in a low voice, “I’m the only one who doesn’t know, right?”
Han Xiaogong remained silent.
Han Xiaogong didn’t want to lie to him, so he didn’t say anything. Qin Fang saw it, so he didn’t ask anything else.
For the next hour, Qin Fang sat on a chair and became a stone man. There were so many pictures spinning in his mind that he could say in his heart that it was so. But his mind was very stuck, and every frame he captured was enough for him to think about it for a long time.
A short message came on the phone, the phone was in his hand, Qin Fang lowered his head and glanced, it was Xing Yan.
-have they gone?
Qin put him back: no, what’s wrong?
Xing Yan asked again: Where is it?
Qin Fang said: behind.
Xing Yan: Don’t go
. Qin Fang: Well.
Xing Yan: I came to find you
. Qin Fang didn’t come back. He rested his arms on his knees, lowered his head, and rubbed his scalp with the palm of one hand. He hasn’t let it grow since he shaved his head last summer, and now the stubble pierces his palm, and it hurts every time.
The slight tingling pain spread from the palm to the heart, leaving the left chest a little empty and a little numb.
Xing Yan came over from the side aisle, and Han Xiaogong patted Qin Fang and motioned to him. Qin Fang didn’t move, Han Xiaogong stood up and bent over to go out. After he went out, Xing Yan walked in and sat beside Qin Fang.
Qin Fang didn’t look at him, Xing Yan touched his hand and felt the sweat on Qin Fang’s hand.
Xing Yan ignored this and held hands with him, the fingertips of both of them were shaking slightly.
At the end of the ceremony, Xing Yan didn’t care about anything else and never let go of Qin Fang’s hand. The two handsome guys walked out holding hands like this, many people around were watching them, and neither of them had time to take care of them.
When there were fewer people, Qin Fang cleared his throat and called him, “Xing Yan.”
Xing Yan paused briefly, and replied, “En.”
Qin Fang seldom called him that, but called him “Brother Yan”.
Qin relaxed the hand held by Xing Yan, rubbed his joints lightly, and asked in a low voice, “When did you settle down?”
Xing Yan was silent at first, then said, “It’s been a long time.”
Qin Fang asked softly: “…Last month?”
Xing Yan shook his head.
Qin Fang asked again, “Chinese New Year?”
Xing Yan still shook his head. Qin Fang looked into his eyes, and his voice trembled
a little: “Your birthday? My birthday? Stone?” Qin Fang’s eyes were all red, but there was no expression on his face, and his tone was very light, not questioning. Xing Yan couldn’t open his mouth and couldn’t answer. Qin Fang stood there and looked at him, looked at Xing Yan’s face, looked at his favorite pair of eyes, and then suddenly smiled. He bent down, as if he had relieved his strength, supported his knees with his arms, and looked up at Xing Yan. They stood in the sun like this, the sun was very poisonous, and Qin Fang was sweating on his forehead. He took a deep breath and let it out slowly. Qin Fang raised his eyes to Xing Yan, his eyes were red, and there was a slight smile on his lips, and his voice was hoarse. He asked Xing Yan two sentences – “Is it fun?” “Am I fun?”
