win or lose game

Shao Yigui came to this small reef again.

Behind him, the light gray clouds rolled quickly, and the waves slammed on the rocks and rolled up high waves.

In front of him, Tang Linwen frowned, and asked him to leave immediately without thinking.

"You have also seen that it is a typhoon day, if you don't leave now, you may not know when you will be able to leave."

Shao Yigui has enough psychological construction. He knows that he cannot be a welcome guest here. At this time, facing the straightforward Tang Linwen, he is naturally unmoved. On the contrary, he said something else as if nothing had happened: "Before, I worked overtime for two consecutive weeks."

This sentence was endless, but Tang Lin asked quickly, so he understood it naturally. "How many days are you going to stay here?"

"I have one month's annual leave."

"Please go back." Tang Lin asked immediately.

Shao Yigui smiled and said, "Just kidding. I won't bother you for a long time. Besides, I'm very smart," he took out a cup from his pocket, "Look, last time you said you only had one cup, so I specially brought it Get a glass." He knew he looked a little stern, which was definitely not his style, but he had enough awareness before coming here.

At the same time, Tang Linwen was unprepared for this.He couldn't figure out what was going on with this abnormal Shao Yigui.Obviously, there are few things in this world that he can't figure out, which made him unable to carelessly look at Shao Yigui several times.

"Why did you come here this time?" Tang Lin asked tentatively.

How could Shao Yigui be so quick to startle the snake?He replied affirmatively with the answer he had thought: "It is said that he has taken annual leave, so he is naturally here for vacation."

Tang Lin asked, of course, he couldn't buy it: "You come to this kind of place for vacation?"

Shao Yigui smiled as if nothing had happened, and looked back preparedly: "Do you remember? Half a month ago, I asked you, you actually lived in such an environment? You took me to the window and let me see The most beautiful sea, you told me that you live in 'this environment'. Now, my answer is the same. I came to 'this place' for vacation."

This was the first time that Shao Yigui had left Tang Linwen speechless.

Then, it can be said that the heavens are beautiful.The clouds that had been clamoring for a long time finally rained.Shao Yigui pushed the boat forward: "Let's advance to the lighthouse to avoid the rain."

To deal with someone who has always been strong, you have to be indisputable... plus some direct force confrontation.

Shao Yigui held Tang Linwen's wrist and pulled him into the lighthouse.It wasn't until he came indoors that Tang Linwen recovered from Shao Yigui's anomaly. He looked at his wrist that was still being held. "Mr. Shao, please let go."

Shao Yigui let go of his hands and said with a smile as if nothing had happened, "We have known each other for so long, I think, it should be enough to call each other by first name." To be honest, with Tang Linwen's merciless style, Shao Yigui can completely predict the other party rebuttal, but fortunately, Tang Linwen didn't say anything.

Outside the window, the rain was getting heavier.Tang Linwen, who turned his head to check the weather, sighed almost indistinctly, and then he turned his head and told Shao Yigui: "I received an order before that the lighthouse will enter the third-level state at dusk, and you can't leave even if you want to. You'd better be mentally prepared."

Shao Yigui couldn't help asking curiously: "What is the third-level state?"

For a moment, there was a malicious smile that was almost gloating in the eyes of the person being questioned. Shao Yigui had never seen such a bright expression on the other person's face, and for a moment he was stunned.

"You will know when the time comes." Tang Linwen said in a sinister tone.

Shao Yigui had never felt happy when someone made a fool of himself, but he couldn't help laughing at this time. "Then it looks like I'm definitely not going to be able to go."

Throughout the afternoon, Tang Linwen had been busy in the control room and the mechanical room. Shao Yigui, who was confined to the living area, could hardly see him. He could only find some work for himself.First, he put his cup next to Tang Linwen's cup.These two cups are the same, Shao Yigui went shopping online and found the same cup.Maybe the two of them can get the cup wrong at that time, but Shao Yigui doesn't mind.

After that, he began to familiarize himself with every corner of the entire living area.He didn't expect that a small lighthouse would have quite a lot of space and quite a few rooms.Out of courtesy, Shao Yigui did not enter the rooms with closed doors, but he conducted a carpet search of all the open spaces.

Therefore, he knew that Tang Linwen's reading style was very strange, and he actually liked horror novels.Therefore, he knew that Tang Linwen didn't sleep well and didn't like to fold the quilt.Therefore, he knew that Tang Linwen's cooking skills seemed to be okay, and the leftovers in the refrigerator seemed to be quite normal...He knew that Tang Linwen must be very lonely, and there was no photo in the huge living space that could be used to express his feelings.

The legendary "twilight" moment finally arrived.Tang Linwen finally showed up.

"You can look out of the window one more time, after that, you won't be able to see it anymore." Tang Linwen told Shao Yigui.

Shao Yigui flinched deliberately: "I can't see the sun tomorrow?"

Tang Lin asked solemnly and nodded, "Sure." There was no hint of a joke on his face.

Shao Yigui looked like he was going all out, with his head held high and he said generously: "Come on."

Once the mainstay of the drama club, his acting skills should not be underestimated. This exaggerated and contrived performance made Tang Lin Wen burst into laughter after a slight pause.After a pause, he said, "You should come with me."

Tang Linwen, who intentionally did not make any explanation, took Shao Yigui to the bottom of the lighthouse. I don't know what mechanical device he activated. The original doors and windows of the lighthouse were gradually blocked and closed by the slowly rising iron wall. In a closed cage with copper walls and iron walls.

Shao Yigui worked overtime for two consecutive weeks in the past, but he always had free time. When he was free, he subconsciously searched the Internet for all information related to the work of lighthouse guards, so he roughly knew the current situation.This small lighthouse standing on the reef is easily submerged by the high tide during typhoon days. At this time, the lighthouse keeper has to work in a sealed environment.Right now, that's clearly the case.

"Right now, only two areas are open, and you can only move around on this floor." Tang Lin asked to stipulate the scope of Shao Yigui's next activities.

Shao Yigui turned his head and glanced around.For him, the sense of closure has nothing to do with the area...and the area here is so small.

"How many days are we supposed to be here?" he inquired.

Tang Lin asked quickly and gave an unoptimistic answer: "According to the weather forecast, at least three days. Moreover, it is not 'stay here', but 'sleeping here'."

"En." Shao Yigui nodded in agreement, "Trapped here, without seeing the light of day." Just imagining it made him anxious—"If I wasn't here, wouldn't you be bored to death by yourself?"

Tang Linwen's first reaction to this question was that he was too lazy to respond, but seeing Shao Yigui looking at him seriously, he finally found the words to say: "I will survive."

Shao Yigui could never tell if this person was joking or not.

"The key question now is whether you can survive." Tang Lin asked, looking up to meet Shao Yigui's gaze, "How long will it take you to come here? If you are still trapped after finishing, you will die of boredom, right? "

"You know me quite well." Shao Yigui said with a smile, "I really can't sit around doing nothing. But," he evaluated in his heart, not feeling worried about the future, "don't say anything about what I want to do. Two or three days, two or three years, I don't have the confidence to finish it."

To a certain extent, Shao Yigui speaks naturally and sincerely, but at the same time, he also intends to be mysterious. He hopes that Tang Linwen will be curious about this "what he came here to do". Although he will not answer directly, there is suspense The setting and foreshadowing, I always feel that the plot can be rendered more ups and downs.

However, Tang Linwen soon turned his attention to the people's livelihood. "There was a lot of prep work, so there was no time to make dinner, and now you can't go to the kitchen, you can only eat microwave food."

For Shao Yigui, this was really bad news.Then, he suddenly realized that the kitchen could not be used, but the refrigerator was in this movable area. "I remember there was curry beef soup in the refrigerator?"

"Yes."

"Shall we eat that?"

Tang Linwen looked at him calmly and explained, "It's for one person."

In this regard, Shao Yigui said as a matter of course: "Then entertain the guests."

"I drank leftovers at noon."

"It's okay, I don't dislike it."

After such a "struggle with reason", Shao Yigui insisted on occupying the beef soup.

During dinner, he gorged himself on the leftovers, even the extremely determined Tang Linwen couldn't help but keep glancing at him.Shao Yigui praised from the bottom of his heart: "The taste is quite normal, and it is not difficult to drink at all."

Tang Linwen raised his head from the can of nutritious porridge in his hand and looked at Shao Yigui: "Don't talk when you eat or sleep."

Shao Yigui was happy: "Could it be that I didn't praise you well and you are unhappy?"

Tang Linwen frowned slightly hesitantly.Of course he didn't understand what was going on with Shao Yigui's sudden frivolous attitude, which made him unsure how to deal with it.

In fact, not to mention that Tang Linwen didn't understand, Shao Yigui didn't know why his appearance was completely different from the effect he expected.He didn't mean to tease the other party, but he obviously wanted to show a sense of intimacy, it would be better to be humorous, handsome and charming, but in reality it was completely out of shape.

"Actually, this soup is really delicious." The person who knows his mistakes and can correct his attitude corrects his attitude and searches for the correct wording. As a result, the change of position is too hasty and blunt. Even he himself can't stand the dialogue.After thinking about it, he resolutely said: "I think that not eating or sleeping is the crystallization of the wisdom of the ancient working people, and we should really follow it."

After dinner, after a brief wash, Tang Lin asked to spread blankets on the floor.There is only a small bed in this small space, and the uninvited guests know that they can only make do with a bed on the floor.He was very reasonable and helped to complete the work together, and then Tang Lin asked to put the newly taken out quilt on the bed.

"You sleep on the bed." The owner of this place explained so.Although he didn't look like a qualified host at all, he finally gave up the only bed to the guest.

It was rare for Shao Yigui to feel ashamed, "How dare you?" He said as he wondered, what kind of reaction would he get from the other party if he suggested that two people squeeze out of bed together?Unfortunately, it was too late for this idea to be implemented. Tang Linwen had already taken the lead in lying down on the floor, and was obviously about to fall asleep and go to bed.

Shao Yigui was stunned.

Literally stunned.

It's only eight o'clock.

At this point in time, Shao Yigui's nightlife hasn't started yet.

"You won't sleep right away, will you?" Shao Yigui couldn't help asking in surprise.

Tang Lin answered the question as it should be: "Yes."

"...Don't you think it's still early?"

"feel."

"Then you still go to bed so early?"

"if not?"

Tang Linwen cherishes words like gold, but the meaning expressed is very clear.After all, under the current environment, they would not really find a rich and wonderful "nightlife" in this tiny place.

What can you do without sleep?

—— Shao Yigui knew the answer to this question.

if not? "Or let's play truth or dare to pass the time."

Faced with Shao Yigui's proposal, Tang Linwen shook his head without thinking: "I'm not interested in playing games."

Shao Yigui sighed in his heart, thinking that this person would not give others face so much, he must be very out of group, apart from being able to have a good relationship, there is nothing else he can do. "Since you don't like playing games, let's get serious—each of us says one thing about ourselves, and the other person must say the same thing."

Tang Lin asked him sideways: "Isn't this just a game?"

Hearing this, Shao Yigui sighed heavily on purpose: "I thought you didn't understand the game and wanted to fool you, but I didn't expect you to see it through."

In the end, Fei Shao Yigui's pretending to be crazy and making jokes were not in vain. Faced with his entanglement, Tang Linwen did not directly lie down to rest. Instead, he sat up straight against the wall, and spoke in a tone with a hint of a smile Said: "You talk first."

Shao Yigui was refreshed.In his impression, the "enemy" was extremely powerful, and he never dared to be optimistic about his own battle situation. Unexpectedly, this first battle also achieved a temporary victory despite stumbling.

"Okay, let me say it first." The unprepared person actually opened his mouth and said, "When I was 14 years old, I realized that my sexual orientation was different from most people. At that time, I was very resistant, so I specially submitted a A girlfriend. This is the first time I've ever had a relationship with a human being." He decided to take it easy. "It's your turn."

He didn't expect the other party to get stuck with only the first story.

Tang Linwen spent a certain amount of time in silence, and finally said lightly: "I have no experience in this area."

This situation was not only in Shao Yigui's imagination, but also beyond his expectation.And he was both happy and a little sour. "Why do you never talk about feelings with people?" He asked slowly.

Tang Lin asked without hesitation, and quickly replied, "Before He Xiao becomes an adult, I don't have time to do unnecessary things. After He Xiao becomes an adult, I have no interest in doing unnecessary things." He paused for a while, and then Summary, "This is why I don't talk to people about relationships. It's up to you." This business elite really doesn't suffer at all, making full use of the rules of the game.

Shao Yigui felt that he was at a disadvantage, but he didn't mind at all. On the contrary, he was quite happy to explain the matter: "Yeah, think about it carefully, I have never had a relationship with anyone. I have always been playing games In the world, in fact, this is still related to my experience when I was 14 years old. At that time, I was vaguely aware of my sexual orientation, so I noticed a pair of gay people. They were very sweet and loving at that time. While expecting them to have a good ending. However, two years later, I almost thought they could go on forever, and one of them got married. It was probably from that time on that I decided that it was impossible for two men to last forever. "

"So, you also marry women?" Tang Lin asked quietly.

"Of course not." Shao Yigui shook his head affirmatively, "I didn't plan to do that in the first place. Now I don't even do it."

As Shao Yigui expected, Tang Linwen didn't intend to ask what has changed "now".He had to continue the game by himself: "At the age of 16, after I broke up with Gay, who pinned some emotion on me, I took my girlfriend to a love hotel. This was my first time. It's your turn?"

Shao Yigui began to go deeper slowly.This time, he expected the other party to answer that he "has no such experience".pity--

"I was 15 years old, the first time I went to a gay bar, and the first man who approached me."

Hearing this, Shao Yigui felt all sorts of feelings in his heart, and he tried hard to hold his ground: "I've always only been 1. It's your turn."

Tang Linwen pointed out: "This round should be my turn to tell the story first."

It was only then that Shao Yigui realized that he had failed to hold his ground. He sighed secretly, and then admitted his mistake: "Okay, you talk first."

However, Tang Linwen didn't tell stories.

"I don't have a story anymore." Tang Lin asked, "Besides, I'm sleepy."

Shao Yihui replied that he had never seen such a shameless person: "In order not to answer that question, are you acting so shameless?"

Tang Lin asked righteously: "We didn't stipulate how many rounds to play this game. In other words, we can end it at any time."

"...you were right. I was wrong."

13 years ago.

That evening, Shao Yigui grew from a boy to a man.However, he was not happy that day.

Out of an inexplicable gloomy and resentful mood, Shao Yigui left his sleeping girlfriend in the room, and ran to the fire escape stairs of the hotel by himself. He wanted to stay quiet for a while.There he accidentally ran into two men who were arguing.To be precise, one is a man and the other is an underage boy.

Is this another gay couple destined to separate?Shao Yigui thought about that, and then realized that the boy wanted to leave at all, but the man refused to let go of the boy who he agreed to come to the hotel earlier.

Consensual homosexuals will not end well, let alone this kind of forced buying and selling.Anyway, Shao Yi was full of anxiety that he couldn't vent. He grabbed the man who almost used violence and coercion towards minors, and then punched him down.

The story ends here.

Whether it was Shao Yigui or Tang Linwen, neither of them knew that the two of them had met as early as 13 years ago.
