summer and roses

The last heavy rain in spring stopped in the early morning, and the street trees were washed more and more lush overnight. When the sun shines, the dew on the leaf tips glistens in the gentle golden light.The rich fragrance of flowers is missing in the air, replaced by a refreshing plant smell——

In this way, summer comes with great momentum after a rain.

Sunlight leaked into the room through the gaps in the open window, barely passing over the boy's eyebrows.Mucha was shaken in his sleep, frowned, opened his eyes impatiently, and turned over.

His feet touched his cruising calf under a quilt, and he simply woke up. He grabbed his phone to check the time, seven o'clock in the morning.

After transferring to another school, Mucha has only met her first summer.The screen of the mobile phone was clearly written, Lixia on May [-]th, he opened the app, and the birthday celebration page popped up, and at the same time started to play, "Happy birthday to you..."

Mucha was taken aback, and frantically looked for where to turn it off, and finally pressed the off button cruelly.

The phone screen went black, and he let out a long breath, feeling that everything just now seemed like a mental retardation.As soon as he put the phone aside, Mucha turned over, facing the sober black eyes that Yu You opened at some time.

"...Are you awake?" After holding back for a while, Mu Xia uttered such a sentence.

Just after he finished speaking, the emoji of the four masters and apprentices automatically appeared in his mind, and his face suddenly changed, and he wanted to laugh.Before he could control his expression, Mucha felt someone grab his waist, then Youyou leaned forward and buried him on the side of his neck, his shoulders trembled slightly, obviously thinking of the same thing, he couldn't help lying on his back He scrunched up his neck laughing.

He patted Youyou on the back: "Bajie, get up, stop laughing."

"Happy birthday to you, happy birthday to you... Hahaha!" You Yi sang along, holding Mucha's face, and gagged his mouth before he turned on the Tucao button.

Mucha pretended to be disgusted: "Kiss me without brushing your teeth!"

You Yi lifted the quilt and sat up: "I didn't stick out my tongue."

The sun was good, Mu Xia looked up at him, the profile of his face seemed to be clearer than last autumn, his eye sockets were deep, and he looked a bit grown--inadvertently, it seemed that he was the same as those camphor weeping willows, It became more lush overnight.

With a slight twitch in his heart, he embraced Cruise's neck and kissed deeply.

The complaint just now was forgotten by him, Mucha had no particular obsession with cleanliness, after being with You Yi, he pried open his solid shell, and found that the inside was as sweet as a ball of cotton candy.With such an embrace, You Yi's waist bent down, his hands slipped into his pajamas, and the two rolled into a ball on the small bed, caressing each other with ease.

Occasionally, one or two sentences written as curses and read as reprimands were mixed in, all of which were scattered in the wind that slipped in through the crack of the window.

Mu Xia pressed on You Yi's body, and for the time being, both of them were disheveled.Although it's not that I haven't seen it, I haven't done it. In the end, I'm always a little shy when facing each other naked. He pulled off a T-shirt and put it on, hooking Youyou's ankle with his long legs.

"Wake up?" He asked, and kissed You Yi's ear again with still insatiable desire.

"Later." You Cru's voice was still panting, "I'll lie down...you're holding back a little bit hard."

Mucha said brazenly: "Isn't it? I haven't touched you during the period of your illness. It's hard to wait for the doctor to announce that you're cured, and you have half-term exams, and you haven't had time to get your ears pierced—I'm going to say anything today."

You Yi said "hmm", and still lay still, watching Mucha get up and pick up the jeans by the bed.With a flash in his eyes, he called out, "Hey, buy me a breakfast."

"Too many things!" Mucha scolded with a smile, and went out while fastening his trousers.

His parents didn't care about him anymore, and he didn't receive any news about the special day.It's been more than half a semester, and Mucha is used to running to someone's house as soon as the vacation is over, and going to the studio for the rest of the day, occasionally talking to his mother on the phone, saying that everything is fine.Lao Mu was annoyed by the affairs of the company and the mistress, but my mother became more open-minded and often went out to take pictures.

He is so happy that he is happy, and he also has a boyfriend while studying.

When I spent too much time eating and drinking at You Yi's house, Mucha was able to go downstairs to buy steamed buns and soy milk by himself. I wonder if it was because of the 17th birthday bonus. When he came back, he was humming a song and carrying a heavy weight Stacked packing boxes.

You Yi was brushing his teeth, when he heard the sound of the door opening, he went out, saw Mu Xia raised his chin at him, his eyes glowed, and he said happily with white foam in his mouth: "Tofu brain!"

"There are also dumplings." Mucha went to the kitchen, took a bowl and poured out the packed breakfast, "The one you like the most."

No matter how many delicacies, noodles and tofu nao there are in this city, 99% of people prefer the shops downstairs.With a groan, You Yi quickly rushed to the bathroom to wash up, his hair was still dripping, and ran to the dining table.

It's just like any weekend morning.

They were chatting, talking about the recent ball games and interesting things in the class. Lin Zhan and Xie Zeyuan had an argument and almost started a fight, but the culprit did not seem to be Ringo. , Xu Wenke is still eccentric, Qi Shanshan doesn't seem to care so much about Lin Zhan...

Mucha took a bite of the glutinous rice dumpling, opened the phone screen with the other hand, and a bunch of birthday wishes popped up in WeChat, most of them simply said happy birthday, and they were relatives he didn't have much contact with.

Among the greetings, only Ye Chuan sent more. He asked when he would return to City B, and ended with gossip: "Can you bring your boyfriend?"

He laughed straight at the sight, pursed his mouth, his cheeks were stuffed like a happy hamster, cruising and sitting beside him, stepping barefoot on Mucha's instep, drinking soy milk with his head down.

Summer, early morning, favorite boy, delicious food, and a comfortable space for two.

In the sunshine, Youyou finished the bowl of soy milk, with a froth on his lips, raised his head and said to him, "Happy birthday, my Xia."

"It's over?" Mucha frowned dissatisfied, "At least say a few more words."

Hearing this, You Yi immediately began to think hard, and after a long while, he managed to say: "Well... I wish you... happy every day, and then... every year there will be today, and every year will have today?"

"Go away." He said with a smile, almost hitting someone with fried dough sticks.

The wind brought the fragrance of early-blooming gardenias, and the jasmine on the balcony of Youyi's house also spit out flower buds.Mucha thought he was used to it, but he was still a little bit heartbroken when this special time came.It wasn't moving, nor was it lamenting, it was just a sudden mix of sadness and joy that turned the world upside down, making the tip of my nose sore.

It's still too fragile to lose control of your emotions if you're not careful.

Mucha concealed his expression, stepped on him with his wandering feet, clapped rhythmically, followed the song he was humming.

It happened to be a weekend, and I was going to the studio in the afternoon, and the time for ear piercing was after dinner.

They tidied up casually, and the place was recommended by Ringo.The girl had pierced her ears without telling her twin brother who looked like a Pacific policeman. When Lin Zhan found out it was too late, he had no choice but to compromise with beard and stare.

When they arrived at the appointed place, Mucha saw Lin Po first. She was carrying her bag alone, and her follower Xie Zeyuan was not there.

Mucha has never cared much about letting Lin Biao know about him and You Yi, every relationship needs a relative or friend who plays the role of blessing, not to mention Lin Ao has always been the object of You Yi's confidant, knowing that You Yi likes it even earlier than Mucha.She is lively but not talkative by nature, making her a good friend.

"Alone?" Mucha said, handing over a toffee.

Lin Po nodded indifferently: "Ah Yuan went to see my brother for something, let's give them some space to be alone. Let's go, we'll be two blocks away from here."

The first half of her sentence was a bit strange, Mu Xia would definitely be able to notice it normally, but now he was nervous about doing "bad things", so he didn't notice it.Concealedly holding You Yi's wrist, Mucha and he hung behind Lingo.

The girl plugged in her earphones and walked briskly. When the toffee was finished, she stopped in front of a small shop, turned her head and smiled at them: "Come on, please keep your voice down, the owner of this shop has a very weird temper."

Although the shop in front of me is small, the decoration is eccentric and exquisite. The flower vines are wrapped around the wooden fence, and when you enter the door, when you lift the curtain, a string of crisp wind chimes will be played.There is a big balcony in the house, and the rest of the place seems to be a bit dark, as if there is no sun, filled with small dim light bulbs, which collectively reflect the splendor of the outside.

Mucha sighed, thinking that the owner here must be very personable.

There was a price list on the coffee table, and he picked it up to look, and there was even a tattoo item.Just as he was about to say something, Lingo shouted, "Sister Xiaolu, I'll bring someone over to have my ears pierced."

The ladder leading to the attic creaked, and then a bare foot stepped on it and climbed down the ladder.

"Boy?"

This was the first sentence Mu Xia heard Cheng Xiaolu say, he didn't dare to neglect this man with just one glance - the tear mole under his eyes, his lazy tone, his long black hair tied up with a piece of cloth casually, and inserted Bow down, smoking a cigarette.Her facial features can't be said to be very good-looking, and she has an indifferent and contemptuous temperament.

There is a rose tattooed on the base of the ear, bright red, with thorny roots extending into the collar.

Lin Po seemed to admire her very much. When he saw her coming, he ran over and held her arm affectionately: "Sister, this is my classmate. I told you last time that the one who draws is particularly good—he wants to Get your ears pierced."

As soon as the words were finished, Mu Xia was nodded with green fingers, and she introduced again: "This is the nameless boss Cheng Xiaolu, we all call Miss Xiaolu, it's very cool."

"Oh, I dare not take it seriously." Cheng Xiaolu stretched his waist, "I just opened a shop because I'm too lazy to work." After speaking, he looked Mu Xia around and said, "Which way?"

Mucha pointed to his right ear: "Just the earlobe, the ear bone still hurts a bit."

Cheng Xiaolu put the cigarette on the edge of the coffee table, went to get some tools, heard what he said, and said in agreement: "For the first time, it's better to be conservative, just sit down, and you'll be fine in a while."

What happened later, Mu Xia didn't remember clearly, it was really like what Cheng Xiaolu said, it was over before he recovered his senses.There was only a very short sound in the ear, and then something cold penetrated the flesh and blood, it didn't hurt, but it came up in a sense of disappointment, and it disappeared without a trace before it was too late.

Squeezing the cotton to wipe off the blood, Cheng Xiaolu asked him to pick out earrings, Mucha turned to You Yu: "You pick one for me."

The tone was unquestionable, You Yi first raised his eyebrows in surprise, then he understood immediately, and followed Cheng Xiaolu to the earring cabinet.It didn't take long for him to choose, and he took a small box and put it under Mucha's eyes: "How is it?"

On a dark blue velvet substrate is a small silver fish, with a stick figure-like outline, and a small crystal in the eyeball.When the skylight shines on the balcony, it reflects a glass-like color.

Mucha's tone became excited: "I like it, that's all!"

The meaning of the fish is self-evident in both of them. Cheng Xiaolu lowered his head and put it on for Mucha, and told him some precautions.Check out and say goodbye, things went much smoother than expected.

It wasn't until he got on the bus to the studio that Lingo realized the fish and let out a strange cry: "Why is this so!"

At noon on the weekend, they were sitting in the last row in the bus. Mucha pushed You Cruise who was starting to feel sleepy without any trace, and looked at Lin Po with a smile: "What's wrong?"

"Show affection!" Lin Po glared angrily, staring at the fish shining under the sun, feeling a little pain in his eyes.

You Yi yawned: "If he wants to choose by himself, he must have a cerebellum axe. Don't you think it's very stupid to wear this... Apple don't stare at me, it's not like you don't have a boyfriend, show it off."

Mentioning this, Lingo became wilted: "You don't know anything at all."

Hearing that there was something in her words, Mu Xia's gossip soul immediately burned: "Did Xie Zeyuan treat you badly?"

"What the hell, who can't live without him? I'm doing charity." Lingo said, lowering his head and plugging up his earphones so as not to talk to them, obviously hiding something.

Mucha still wanted to ask, but suddenly his shoulders sank to divert his attention, he looked at You Yi, who was really sleepy, his forehead rested on his shoulder, and his eyes were closed.He held You Cruise's hand in the shadow of the back of the chair, and the girl next to him hummed a familiar melody in a low voice along with the earphones.

The little yellow flower of the story.

I tried to hold your hand on a windy day.

On the first day at the age of 17, there were no waves or troubles, and Mu Xia leaned over to You Yi's side.

"By the way, that sister, does she know how to get tattoos?" Thinking of this, Mucha turned to Ringo, "I saw a beautiful tattoo on her neck, it seems to be roses."

Lin Po took off an earphone in a daze to signal that he didn't hear clearly, and Mu Xia repeated it again. She suddenly realized: "Xiaolu, yes, you want a tattoo? If your class teacher finds out, you can't beat him to death?"

Mucha laughed: "He shouldn't be able to control that much... I want to go next year."

So Lingo gave him a thumbs up, and the conversation started, and she couldn't stop talking about the glorious deeds of the shop owner.Mucha held You Cruise with one hand, and supported his shoulder with the other to prevent him from sliding down, listening quietly.

She said that Cheng Xiaolu didn't call her by this name before, she was called Xiaolu, gentle and xiaojiabiyu, but she has a boyish temper.

Cheng Xiaolu didn't go to school after graduating from high school, and worked in a bar.Later, because of a falling out between the lover and the family, who knew that the two sides were not happy, so he simply changed his name, left the place where he had been living, and came here to work. After earning enough money, he opened a small shop and made for others. Tattoos, by the way sell small jewelry.

"Lover?" Mucha asked, then thought for a while and said, "Is it a girl?"

When Lingo looked up at him, he was surprised for a moment: "Is the radar so sensitive?"

Mucha: "You can guess. If you get so close to her, you are not afraid that she will fall in love with you. At that time, Lin Zhan will not only guard against Xie Zeyuan, but also guard against a sister whose force value is obviously higher than his."

What he said was half-truth and half-false, with a touch of probing, but Lin Po didn't care at all: "It's okay, I am very open to this, and the eye is the most important thing. Take a step back and say, I want Miss Xiaolu to fall in love with me. Dump Xie Zeyuan in minutes!"

I didn't expect Lin Po to have such a personality. Mucha looked at her with admiration - Lin Zhan's younger sister thought she was as gentle and stable as her elder brother, but now she thinks about it. How can there be twins with the same personality?

"Then you have to be careful." Mucha said, smoothing Lin Biao's drooping bangs.

In a daze, You Yue dozed off, his head slipped off Mucha's shoulder and woke up.He rubbed his sleepy eyes, the two people next to him were unpredictable, as if they had just had a mysterious conversation.

"What are you talking about..." You Yi asked, his voice was very soft, and Ling Po was taken aback.

Mucha is used to it: "What do you want for lunch?"

You Cruising: "Spicy Hot Pot."

Mucha's smile deepened, and she put her finger on You Cru's pulse: "Then the spicy pot."

Lin Po covered his ears: "Fuck, I can't take it anymore!"

You Yi poked his head over to deliberately tease her: "Then don't follow me—"

Ringo beat him: "I hate it! I won't talk to you anymore!"

For the first time in his life, Mu Xia didn't feel annoyed by their noise.He always had a smile on his face, with joy that couldn't be shaken off in his heart, and his earlobe was still a little sore. He raised his hand to touch the little fish, and the coldness of the metal was not so biting in the gradually warming weather.

The bus drove slowly through the streets that had been washed clean after the early summer rain. Mucha looked out of the window, and when he passed a small courtyard, there were vines protruding from the gray walls.

The pink-white flowers bend the branches, and the shadows hang to the ground.

Rose opened.
