恋爱倒计时

When He Chengyi received a phone call from home again, he heard a frantic tone on the other end of the line and thought that his recent actions had finally reached their ears and they had come to question him.
He is generally a mild and patient person, rarely losing his temper. A week ago, he called his uncle to report the amount of losses in his shop. In addition to the damaged hardware facilities and the medical expenses of the unlucky guy, he also included the economic losses caused by the forced closure. The number was not small for a rural farmer.
He bluntly demanded compensation, and the other party initially apologized profusely and promised to make amends. But a few hours later, they called back to bargain. By the next day, they began to backtrack and insinuated that it might not have been done by a child and that the child was not capable of such things. Essentially, they were implying that he was trying to extort money.
Finally, it ended in nothing. He Hengyi didn't expect them to actually come up with that amount of money, as the figure was intentionally exaggerated. He only hoped that their spreading of negative rumors would serve as a warning to relatives and prevent anyone from showing up uninvited in the future.
His parents care about their face and Hegao Yiyuan was already prepared to listen to them nagging. They always criticize him for being immature, and attribute it to the fact that he has not yet started a family.
Unbelievably, the voice on the other end of the phone had a familiar tone.
"Your dad has fallen again! I can't take care of him alone, you need to come back and check on him."
贺丞逸本来是不信的，可他妈的语气前所有未有的逼真。
老爷子腿真摔坏了，坏得还不轻，肿的厉害没法挪动。可见随便装病不是好事，一语成谶。
Went to the hospital to take an X-ray, they said it was a fracture and needs a steel nail. He Chengyi wanted to bring his elderly parents to live with him and take care of them, but his parents were not willing. Elderly people can be stubborn and lack logic. Many shameless relatives kept coming to their house, but his parents refused to leave the village they had lived in for decades, saying they wouldn't be comfortable living in a big city.
Due to the collapse of the shelves and the damage to many items in the store, it needs to be renovated, and he certainly has to watch over it. Comparatively, his biological father's leg is more important. After considering it for a while, He Chengyi simply closed the store.
He also wants to temporarily change his environment and change his mood.
The reason is quite ridiculous, because of a breakup.
On the first night he moved back home, he did something impulsive and courageous. He sent a message to Zhou Shun. He edited it for several hours and revised it several times. Originally, he wrote a long and verbose message, but in the end, he deleted and trimmed it down to just a few sentences.
他说，瞬瞬我喜欢你，不是当哥的那种喜欢。希望你未来一切都好，如果有需要的地方，我随时都在。
按下发送，收到了一个红色的感叹号。邹瞬把他删了。
贺丞逸对着那个界面发了会儿呆，接着长长地舒了口气。邹瞬看来不只是对他失去了兴趣，还有点讨厌他。那些话没能传达过去，未尝不是一件好事。
He lay on the bed, threw his phone aside, and closed his eyes. That's it.
Then, he peacefully embarked on a not-so-comfortable rural life.
Occasionally, He Chengyi felt that his parents' insistence on not wanting to go to the city with him might not be a bad thing. This thought was very unfilial, but if he had to live with them for a long time, it would be too torturous.
Their lifestyles and beliefs are completely different, and it is painful for them to try to adapt to each other. He Chengyi appears gentle on the surface, but he is a stubborn person who never takes advice to heart. His parents, on the other hand, are eager to instill their own beliefs into him as parents.
老爷子坚持认为咖啡难喝，咖啡馆也是个没意思的地方。应该改开茶馆，再摆几个麻将桌。他给贺丞逸计划好了，进店按人头算，每人一壶茶，瓜子点心无限量供应，麻将桌开台按人头收一人五块。续杯按时间算，超过两个小时，再续重新收费，半价。
“搞点新鲜的，你们年轻人喜欢的，那就再摆两个台球桌。”老爷子唾沫横飞。
贺丞逸点头称是，光速遗忘。
不幸中的万幸，是这次老两口没打算给他介绍对象。
贺丞逸猜测理由或许跟他爸受伤的原因有关。他们隔壁家老夫妻与他父母差不多年级，孩子倒是要比贺丞逸小了小六岁。但人家前几年已经结了婚，如今娃娃都会跑了，羡煞了贺丞逸的父母。
没料到狗血在身边。小孩越长越漂亮，和孩子他爸半点没相似。两夫妻感情不怎么样，每天吵架，隔三差五动武，闹得鸡犬不宁。前阵子男方趁着老婆不在突发奇想去做了个亲子鉴定，还真不是自己的娃。他们家本该占理，没想到女方家彪悍，根本不讲理，带着一群娘家人喊打喊杀过来抢娃，把老两口和小伙子都给打了。
He Chengyi's parents were present at the scene and intended to intervene, but they were pushed and fell.
The elderly couple still feel regretful when they recall the incident.
The chaos caused by this family has not yet subsided. He Chengyi and his parents no longer hear the urging to get married at the dinner table.
It's hard to sleep in when living in the countryside. Even before dawn, roosters crow from all directions. After a few weeks of living there, He Chengyi's daily routine became incredibly healthy. In addition to breathing fresh air every day, he also had to help the elderly with their work, which greatly improved his mental state compared to before.
He thought, no wonder his parents couldn't bear to leave. When they get old, he also wants to move in.
And then he thought, Zou Shun probably can't stand to stay in a place like this.
Such thoughts themselves seem to be taking advantage of people. But how can thoughts be controlled?
From time to time, He Chengyi would wonder what Zou Shun is doing now. Who has he met and what has he done? Has he found someone special, and is that person treating him well? Does he occasionally think of me, and if so, does he miss me a little bit?
若干年前，贺丞逸被前女友单方面宣告分手时也曾难过了很久。他那时反复思考，自己到底哪里做得不好。
那女孩儿说，他太随心所欲，过分幼稚，给不了人安全感，没法过日子。
And now, in front of Zou Shun, he might seem too mature.
The age difference between them was too great, and they lacked a common language and had differences in understanding of the world. He always nagged at him, not like his peers who could play and joke around with him, and couldn't understand his thoughts and preferences either.
He seems to always be unable to show the proper attitude in front of the right person.
Despite being expected to have matured, He Chengyi has become even more impulsive than before. When he was younger, he knew not to disturb others too much, but now he cannot restrain himself from wanting to see him.
He wanted to see Zou Shun, to talk to him or just listen to him.
It's okay if he doesn't speak. It's good enough to just catch a glimpse from afar.
A place like an anime exhibition is really not suitable for Yu Hechengyi. He felt like Liu Laolao who had entered the Grand View Garden, everything was so fresh to his eyes.
这儿太大了，四处人山人海。想要在这里找到邹瞬，无异大海捞针。他不好意思向旁人询问cosplay的比赛时间地点安排，只能拿着进门时发的小册子细细研究。看了半天，头晕眼花，终于摸索出一点门道。
Finally found the competition venue, only to find out that there were no seats in the audience area and we had to sit on the floor. The competition hasn't started yet, and there are other activities taking place on the stage. He Chengyi stood at the periphery, looking towards the stage for a while, suddenly feeling fortunate.
In such a situation, Zou Shun would definitely not notice him.
This is undoubtedly a good thing. It is undignified to be so thoroughly rejected and still haunt someone’s mind. He doesn’t want to leave a ridiculous impression on Zou Shun until the end.
场馆里空气质量不佳，嘈杂闷热。时间还早，贺丞逸决定先去场馆外的活动区域消磨一点时间。
没走几步，远远看见围了一圈人。
他因为好奇走近细看，发现中间站着一个十分高挑的女孩子，戴着假发穿着制服短裙，正在摆造型。周围的人纷纷举着相机手机，兴致高涨。
```html

From He Chengyi's perspective, he could only see half of the girl's profile. Her makeup was a bit heavy, but it was also evident that she had a pretty good foundation and was a beautiful girl. No wonder she could attract so many people.

```
For some reason, the outline looked vaguely familiar to He Chengyi. He tried to recall it for a moment, but couldn't match it with anything in his memory, so he gave up. He wasn't interested in these things anyway, so he took a quick glance and turned around to leave.
Zou Shun was in a very good mood.
He was a bit afraid that the world would be too peaceful. Seeing Fang Mo being surrounded by a group of people and forced to pose in various girly poses, he found it very amusing and joined in the fun by taking pictures with his camera.
Just put down his phone, and before he knew it, he saw a familiar figure not far away. He quickly turned around, only to see a large crowd coming and going in the venue.
Zou Shun has been prone to this kind of error recently, always feeling like he has seen He Chengyi. Maybe he has been thinking too much and has lost his mind.
他有些失神地站在原地发了会儿呆，再一抬头，愣住了。
就在距离他不到几米的位置，有一个正要转身离开的背影，看起来那么熟悉。
```htmlHe thought, he was sick again.
There was no reason for He Chengyi to be here. Moreover, he didn't see the face of that person at all, it should have been just a stranger with a similar height and build. Zou Shun stared blankly at the figure gradually walking away, his brain buzzing.```
He thought to himself, what should I do, everyone I see now looks like him.
Then he rushed over.
Let it be, even if it's a one in a million chance, he doesn't want to miss it, he can always admit his mistake and lose face once.
When someone suddenly grabbed his wrist, He Chengyi was startled. He turned around and saw a face that was both familiar and unfamiliar.
A blue wig, delicate makeup, colored contact lenses, and a beautiful face.
两人对视了片刻，那双比往日看起来更大上不少的眼眶逐渐变得湿润起来。
贺丞逸的大脑一片空白。
他没想过会在这样的场合下与邹瞬不期而遇，更料不到邹瞬会主动过来找他。他还没来得及为自己出现在这里找到合适的借口。
It was so sudden that he was caught off guard and incredibly surprised.
Yet, he was overjoyed beyond measure.
He had wanted to laugh, but had no chance to as Zou Shun began to cry.
Finally, those big eyes couldn't hold back the overwhelming tears any longer. They spilled out in great waves, running down his cheeks and saturating his entire face.
Zou Shun sniffed heavily and raised his hand to wipe his nose.
"Wait," He Chengyi stopped him, "Don't rub your eyes."
He was also wearing contact lenses, which was not good for his eyes.
邹瞬被他拉着手，傻傻地看着他，眼泪啪嗒啪嗒地掉：“真的是你，你怎么在这里？”
"I..."
“你是不是来找我的，”邹瞬一把抓着他的胳膊用力晃，“你是不是也来学校找过我？你是来找我的，对吧？”
His voice was loud and he was crying miserably, which caught the attention of passersby.
He looked at him and nodded, "Yes, I agree."
Then he added, "I miss you very much."
He had to admit it. If he didn't say it out loud, he would go crazy.
Zou Shun plunged into his arms when he heard this. He held onto his waist tightly and didn't move.
A muffled voice came from his embrace.
“我也想你。哥我好想你，好想你。”
贺丞逸还有些回不过神。他不明白，为什么刻意疏远他，拉黑了他的所有联系方式，故意与他断绝一切关系的邹瞬会在见到他以后如此激动。
But he said he missed him. Is there anything more joyful than that?
Many people were looking in their direction, but He Chengyi didn't care at the moment. He reached out and tightly embraced the person in his arms.
The wig doesn't feel good, it's hard when you touch it. Zou Shun still has makeup on his face, and there may already be a lot of it on his clothes at this point. His little friend is a bit puzzled.
But all of this also made him happy.
Someone is going to be sour.
PS, it will end tomorrow!
