An Accident in Broad Daylight

During the conversation with Yi Xun, Xu Tangcheng didn't say a word to Yi Zhe.Even though he knew it was wrong, Xu Tangcheng chose to cover up these things when he saw Yi Zhe trying to squeeze his eyes into the narrow gap between people to find the people who were already waiting for the security check.

The feelings for his younger brother probably always belonged to the softest part of Yi Zhe's heart, and he has been carefully protecting and taking care of him for so many years.It would be fine if it was just giving and not expecting, but he was clearly looking forward to it, and he always thought that the other party had the same mood as himself.Otherwise, they wouldn't always go all the way to see them during the holidays.

The "sacrifice" in the past, the care now, and even the fried rice that I asked him where to buy, all come from this unreserved love.And underneath this love is a precious heart.

Yi Xun didn't understand, but Xu Tangcheng cherished it.He wanted to protect the soft and kind boy who was used to silence in his memory, and he couldn't bear to let him experience the collapse of the softest place in his heart.

Even if he had to face it sooner or later, at least not now—not when he hadn't tasted the feeling of being loved, so that he lost even the feeling of being loved.

When the two walked through the hall side by side, Tang Cheng was in a trance for a short time due to the strong hot wind.Xu Tangcheng kept looking at the ground and thinking about something that could easily be confused, and he was hit by the oncoming person when he didn't pay attention.

The traveler was in a hurry, bumping into him so that he stopped and tilted his body.A hand immediately supported him and pulled him to his side, avoiding the flow of people coming again.

"Are you okay?"

Hearing this voice, Xu Tangcheng raised his head.Fragmentary words hovered in the stomach for a long time, and they were dragged and lined up, but they hadn't formed yet, as if they were blown apart by the impact.

The surroundings were very chaotic, he replied "It's okay", but he didn't know if it reached Yi Zhe's ears.

A girl wearing earphones came up ahead, and when passing her by, Xu Tangcheng heard her humming a song——

I hope that every dream of yours in the future will not be in vain.

He wasn't too impressed with this song, because it wasn't his favorite among Faye Wong's songs.But the song is good and the lyrics are good, so he has listened to it many times, listening to this world sung tenderly.

Xu Tangcheng remembered that there were many lines of "hope" in this song, but among the many beautiful hopes, the one that touched him the most was "noisy".

Very common words, but it brought him the most shock and thought when he first heard the song.Until now, he felt that the real meaning of this word was warmth.Because the first time Faye Wong sang this word in a lazily pronounced word, he felt the warmth all over his body.

The current airport is also noisy, but not this kind of noise.

People live in the world, talking about living in a broad world, with thousands of voices and all-encompassing, but most of them have nothing to do with themselves.Irrelevant sounds are noise and stillness.When treating a person as a treasure, his emotions, anger, sorrow, and joy will be infinitely magnified in his own world, no matter relatives, lovers, or friends.Whether he likes or laughs, he likes and laughs with him.His sorrow or tears will also become his own infinite troubles.

This is the world.Far from the concept of the broad masses.

Thinking of this, Xu Tangcheng suddenly stopped and looked at Yi Zhe's back.

He didn't know what Yi Zhe's world was like, but he thought, it must be much, much quieter than his own.

Yi Zhe habitually tilted his head slightly and glanced back. He didn't see Xu Tangcheng, so he stopped immediately and turned to look for it.But separated by three or two people, he saw Xu Tangcheng staring at him blankly.

He strode back, lowered his head slightly and asked, "What's wrong?"

Xu Tangcheng shook his head: "It's okay."

The fog in Beijing caused the flight to be delayed.They had expected to send Yi Xun away after lunch and go back to school, but they didn't expect that when they drove out of the airport, only half of the sun was hanging in the sky.

The car had been parked for a long time, so that the temperature inside the car was too low. When the car was just started, the steering wheel made Xu Tangcheng icy enough.He put his palms against the steering wheel, curled his fingers together, and rubbed against each other.

Yi Zhe noticed it and asked, "Is it cold?"

"A little bit." Xu Tangcheng turned his head and glanced at him quickly, "Maybe it's because my hands are always cold, but now I feel like I'm holding a lump of ice."

Yi Zhe was thinking about how to deal with Shouliang, but he saw Xu Tangcheng suddenly extended a hand towards him.

"You feel feelings."

It was also a coincidence of timing, the sun that was about to set was right in front of them, and the afterglow was wanton, jumping onto Xu Tangcheng's fingertips.

Yi Zhe looked at his slightly curved fingers, and suddenly felt a strange feeling, as if it wasn't light on his fingertips, but stars growing out of his fingertips.

He was stunned by his childish thoughts like a schoolboy, and he didn't notice the silence he brought.

Xu Tangxiang was very patient. He held the steering wheel firmly with the other hand, kept his eyes on the front, and never retracted the outstretched hand.

However, the surface is calm, but waiting is not calm.The two of them didn't make any more noises, as if they were trying to approach cautiously on a solemn occasion.

The hand that had been on his lap moved, causing Xu Tangcheng's heart to tremble.But before the next move took place, the phone rang suddenly, disturbing the deformed air in the car.

As if awakened, Xu Tangcheng immediately withdrew his hand.He lowered his head slightly, picked up the phone, and before he had time to look at the caller ID, he had already pressed the speaker.

The atmosphere on the other end of the phone was completely different. In the noisy environment, Lu Ming asked Xu Tangcheng loudly if he had returned to Beijing.

Xu Tangcheng cleared his throat and managed to calm down: "I'm back, I'm going to school."

While talking on the phone, he was still distracted thinking about what happened just now.

He admitted that it was his deliberate move. He wanted to organize his speech since yesterday, but he still didn't know where to start.The wrong choice made him miss the opportunity that was closest to him.Pushing him away in the past has become a reason for worry at this moment, and what is even more worrying is that he doesn't know where Yi Zhe has retreated to.

He has never had any experience in love, and he has never tried to get close to others and give hints about this kind of thing.The unfavorable start just now made him still notice his feverish ears while talking to Lu Ming.

At that time, he was hiding in a panic, but now that people have died down, he started to do these unclear things again, and he has not yet received a response.

It seemed a little abrupt and a little embarrassing.

"Then you come and play with us, today is Senior Yu's birthday."

"I'm not going..." Xu Tangcheng didn't have the mind to attend any party, and his first reaction was to find a reason to refuse.But before he could find out the reason, Lu Ming had already yelled again, insisting that he come over.

"I just came back today, and I went to the airport to see someone off again. I'm very tired..."

Before he finished speaking, he stopped suddenly, causing the person on the other side to think it was disconnected, and said "Hello" several times in a row.

"It's quite cold."

On the steering wheel, the hand covering his right hand quickly moved away.As a driver, Xu Tangcheng's mind was dangerously blank for a moment.

He turned his head to look at Yi Zhe, but saw that he looked normal, reached out and lightly pressed the air conditioner button twice to increase the temperature of the warm air in the car.And the temperature on the back of his hand for just a second seemed to be stubbornly remaining.

Lu Ming probably vaguely heard Yi Zhe's words, and now he was roaring loudly, asking what Xu Tangcheng said just now.

The warm air flowed out, bringing up a restless whining sound, which matched Lu Ming's ever-increasing volume and speed of speech.

The throbbing came suddenly and subtle.

Xu Tangcheng squeezed the steering wheel vigorously, and decided at this moment that he gave up on any appropriate words and any words that needed to be organized.

"Let's go." Xu Tangcheng said.

"You?" Lu Ming paused, and immediately asked the subject: "Who are you with?"

"Yizhe."

He didn't want to get entangled in this issue. After saying the name, he added: "We won't go to the billiard hall. You can tell me about the restaurant. We're walking back from the airport and we'll catch up with you for dinner." .”

He made the decision on his own without seeking Yi Zhe's opinion. He felt that he turned his head to look at him at that time, but he also pretended not to notice it and deliberately ignored it.

After he hung up the phone, Yi Zhe said, "I'm not going."

But Xu Tangcheng said: "Go, I guess they must drink. Maybe they will go to KTV after dinner. There are some drinks at the birthday party that I can't pass away. I'm afraid I drank too much."

On the contrary, Yi Zhe knew Xu Tangcheng's drinking capacity very well, and he also knew Xu Tangcheng's drunken Xu Tangcheng very well.He has selfish motives and things he wants to hide.Thinking of this, he immediately ignored that this was Yu Yu's birthday party, and felt that he must go.

"Well, I'll go then."

Convincing is effortless.The deepening of this understanding actually made Xu Tangcheng feel happy too.

At the intersection of the five-forked road, the time for the red light is exceptionally long.Ninety seconds is enough to provide emotional changes.That bit of sweetness gradually receded completely, and then it turned into regret and guilt.

The person next to him can be persuaded by his sentence "afraid of drinking", and can even notice his slight embarrassment and erase it for him.He took care of all his feelings, but he had put him in an emotionally awkward situation for such a long time, and even a few minutes ago, he was still weighing right and wrong and advancing or retreating.

He was afraid that he would not believe him if he said he liked him, and he was afraid that he had given up on this idea...

His habitual thinking makes him always consider things from the overall situation, and never put aside all external factors, simply ask himself, do you want to, do you want it, like it or not.

After the red light passed, he still hadn't left.The car behind honked its horn, and Yi Zhe also called him, reminding him: "The light is green."

The vehicle moves forward as if heading into the sunset.He also watched the day fall.

He is entangled in the future, worried about his family, and all the questions he has considered and feared are still confused today, without answers.The problem he faced was the same as it was more than a month ago. The only difference was that he wanted to understand one thing - if even a single touch of his could make his heart move, how could he talk about restraint and right or wrong.

Some things are not something you can tell yourself not to do if you know it was an accident.All love comes from sobriety, but being sober doesn't mean you can't be crazy.

Even if the road ahead is chaotic, walking with him is the world.

They hurried, but they still couldn't arrive on time.The people at the table became excited when they caught the two people who were late, and they must punish themselves with three glasses.Xu Tangcheng still has some experience in dealing with this kind of thing, he said with a smile: "What you say doesn't count, what the birthday star says counts."

He looked at Yu Yu across the table and asked, "Brother Yu, do you want to drink?"

Xu Tangcheng asked this question because he knew that Yu Yu understood his drinking capacity. In the past, when the laboratory went out for dinner, Yu Yu would help him explain to his juniors who wanted to drink with him, and even help him block it.He thought that Yu An would definitely not let him drink, but he didn't think about it. The birthday star leaned his arms on the table and looked at him with a smile: "Have you prepared a birthday present for me? If you have a birthday present, you don't need to drink it."

Xu Tangcheng just found out that it was his birthday, so where is there any birthday present?

"No," Yu Yu naturally expected, "Then you..."

"I drink."

Just as Yu Yu made a meaningful long sound, Yi Zhe interrupted him by throwing two words.Without further ado, he drank the three glasses of wine that were set for them on the table, and before the rest of the people made trouble with Xu Tangcheng, he said directly: "It's because I'm late, I'll drink his too."

After drinking one of these three glasses of wine, the people below realized that they immediately started yelling "No".Xu Tangcheng also quickly grabbed Yi Zhe's hand, which was about to hold the wine glass, and snatched the second glass of wine from him.

Yi Zhe turned to look at him, thinking he would explain that he was driving a car, but unexpectedly Xu Tangcheng handed a whole glass of wine to his mouth.He started pouring, and others applauded, but Yi Zhe hastily stopped him.

"Hey," Lu Ming yelled at Yi Zhe, "I, Brother Cheng, drink, why are you stopping me?"

"He's driving a car and can't drink."

"That's okay." Lu Ming clapped his hands, "I'll go to the side to sing later, and I won't be able to walk upstairs after singing. The senior said, please treat me to the end today."

Xu Tangcheng kept ignoring what Lu Ming and the others said. He pulled Yi Zhe's wrist away with his other hand, and then drank the remaining two glasses without letting go.The wine glass was very big, and Xu Tangcheng was already dizzy when he sat down. It wasn't until Yu An invited him to eat that he realized that he was still holding Yi Zhe's wrist.

There's something under my hand, it's hard.Xu Tangcheng lowered his head slowly, opened Yi Zhe's sleeve, and found that it was the watch he had given him.

He stares, and hides with his clenched hands.He pulled hard, then looked up again, looking at the people around him at the noisy banquet.

Xu Tangcheng felt that he must be a little drunk, the face of the person in front of him kept shaking, but no matter where he moved, those eyes were always looking at him.

Mona Lisa?He laughed, that was his own Mona Lisa too.

Yi Zhe didn't know what Xu Tangcheng was laughing at all of a sudden, but when he laughed, he couldn't help shaking hands, and accidentally grabbed the row of fingers that he put on his palm.

Before he had time to let go, before he had time to back away, he had already been pulled over by someone.

Xu Tangcheng turned sideways, put one foot on the rail under the chair, took his hand and put it on his knee.He also leaned forward, approaching Yi Zhe's face to whisper to him.

"I guess I'll have to drink later, and maybe I'll have to drink when I go to KTV. If I drink too much, remember to get me away. We won't go back to the dormitory, and we'll open a room here."

Yi Zhe nodded. He pursed his lips, hesitated for a few seconds, and asked, "Can I stay at the hotel he invited?"

"Of course," Xu Tangcheng said quickly, "live wherever you want."

"it is good."

It was rare that Xu Tangcheng could think of a very practical problem at this moment.He grabbed Yi Zhe's hand and shook it: "Have you brought any money?"

If it wasn't for his flash, Yi Zhe would have almost forgotten that his hand was still being held by him in public.Or rather, he forgot to let go of him.

Fortunately, it was covered by a tablecloth, and everyone at the table was busy making jokes and teasing each other, so no one noticed.

"Bring it."

Yi Zhe lowered his eyes, looked at the place where the two were holding each other, and watched himself slowly let go of his hand.

Xu Tangcheng noticed it, but immediately held his hand with both hands to prevent him from withdrawing.He put two thumbs on his palm, then slowly pushed them away along the lines of his palm, touching the edge of his palm.Yi Zhe was slightly stunned, his eyes following his fingers.

It feels a bit like being outdoors in early spring, with fluffy catkins rubbing against slightly dry skin.

Xu Tangcheng kept repeating this action, and the two sat there as if they were still.It took a while before Yi Zhe heard him say, what is so beautiful.He didn't know whether it was the hand or the watch, so he leaned his head and asked, "What?"

The person who had been laughing didn't answer, but suddenly got closer to him and said, "Find me a cleaner hotel."

Yi Zhe felt that Xu Tangcheng was different tonight, because he found that he couldn't understand his thoughts, nor his smiling eyes.He guessed, maybe the alcohol formed a barrier, preventing him from reading his data?

But I don't think so.The last time he was drunk, he was obviously easy to understand.

Before he could figure it out, Xu Tangcheng had already let go of his hand, turned around, and put a piece of roasted eggplant on his dinner plate.
