"Isn't it beautiful?"

"Hmm..." Shinobu sat lazily on the beach and stretched his legs.The sea breeze blows away the shirt, and the sun is sinking in the depths of the lavender sky, sprinkling golden sequins on the water.If the wind does not move, the thin pink clouds will also remain still, making people feel that the gods must have lost their hands and knocked down this picture scroll from the heavens.

"The sea in Okinawa is really different." Inoue lay on the warm sand beside Shinobu.

"Really." Occasionally, seagulls neighed, and there were only a few people on the beach, so they sat up and hugged their knees and stopped looking at the sea. "Speaking of which, I don't really like the sea very much."

"Eh? Why?"

"Because of him." I don't know what happened to me, but now I suddenly want to talk about him.Blinking his eyes, he glanced at Inoue out of the corner of his eye, but suddenly he seemed to be blocked by something, unable to speak.

"It's a long story."

Because he has always felt that Hai is another person in his heart.

The appearance of that person is always accompanied by the echo of the tide, and he smiled very softly when he said it.Although I don't know how many years have passed, I still occasionally can't help but compare in my heart, whether she has really surpassed her in his heart, and whether she has become the number one person in his heart now.

This is my own selfishness that I absolutely must not let him know, for fear that he will be sad, and also afraid that he will laugh at himself.

"That's right, I'm different." Inoue sat up and smiled at the sea, "I fell in love with a lot of things because of the person I like."

"That's right, that's great." He smiled and said nothing more.

"Do you still like him?" Inoue's eyes followed Shinobu's, and the brief moment of suffocation was fully seen, "Your lover?"

"Can't you let it go? Didn't he abandon you and go away?"

"Maybe it looks like this." Inoue couldn't help opening his mouth slightly, facing the slight smile on Shinobu's face at the moment, "But, it's not exactly like that."

"We made an agreement to prove to my family that we can be together. Thinking about it today, I still think he was very handsome that day, in front of my father."

"and then?"

"I went back to Australia. He told me in the email that he was going abroad too, and said that frequent contact would affect me as well as him. It would be better to treat it as a trial, so the contact became less."

"It was the time when you were very anxious." He couldn't help but say nothing, as if he had acquiesced to Inoue's words.

"Although I don't know what happened, but after meeting him, I can be sure of one thing, that is, he has something to hide from me." The hands pinching his knees were clenched into fists, Shinobu's expression was solemn. "He is always like this, because he is older than me, he seems to block everything for me, and he doesn't say anything in his heart."

"you sure?"

"I'm sure, after all, we've been together for many years." Sneaking a smile.

"That's right." The sun had completely sunk into the sea, and the sky and the sea were no longer clearly separated. Inoue stood up and patted his back, "I'm very happy to be able to talk to Takatsuki about this today."

"Don't make fun of me." Because he appeared between the lines of the conversation, he inexplicably became energetic, and Shinobu's face was a little red.

"Let's go back to the hotel." Inoue walked ahead and turned around, "How about having a drink today?"

Cried and cried, laughed and laughed, both Yong and Zecheng drank a lot in the blink of an eye.Zecheng jokingly said that he never thought that a man with a good-looking face could cook and could marry, so he was so angry that he hit him with his fist.

"However, you really surprised me." Yong smiled wickedly.

"Don't hold on to the past."

"It's too much, it's obviously your conspiracy."

"I'm different from you." Zecheng pursed his lips, "Would you like to hear it?"

"Please."

"I always like men. I had a lover when I was in high school." Ze Cheng's face was very stiff, and he didn't look into Yong's eyes.

"He is about the same height as me, and he likes to run. You know how much more closed back then than now. Our relationship is just to study together, or to run with him. But after all, he is a boy in adolescence. I was caught by my classmates when I was kissing in the school toilet." Zecheng smiled and wiped his eyes with his fingers.

"That classmate promised that he would never say anything, and he didn't say anything later, but he was always worried. From that day on, he paid special attention to other people's eyes, movements, and when he was energetic..." Zecheng looked at Yong, Suddenly broke down in tears.

"He...doesn't talk much, he is a very good person...One morning, when his mother came to school, I found out that he hanged himself at home the night before..." Yong quietly Smoking, not saying a word.I also have the experience of losing my lover, the kind of heart-piercing helplessness, any comfort is useless.

"His funeral...I didn't attend, I killed him...I left my hometown, came here to work, got married, and never went back except for the funeral. I can be nice to my wife, she often said to me How happy to be married to me, but my physiology still makes me have to keep in touch with several men all year round-it's ridiculous, the one who hugs a woman is not me, and the one who hugs a man is not him." Yong Handing Zecheng a cigarette, he accepted it with an embarrassed smile, and lit it.

"I noticed you not long after you moved here. I didn't expect you to watch me go fishing." Zecheng's face relaxed a little, "When I turned around that day, you were smiling and looking at me, so quiet , as if he was sitting behind me, wanted to talk to me but didn’t know what to say, so he just looked at it with a smile. Although I’m sorry for you, but at that moment I felt that he came back and he forgave me.”

"I'm sorry I left you with bad memories, please forgive me." Zecheng lowered his head sincerely, smiled and shook his head.

"It's all over." Yong narrowed his eyes, picked up the wine bottle, and drank it down.

Shinobu shook the empty bottle in his hand, looked into the mouth of the bottle, and then opened another bottle.

"Takatsuki, are you okay?" Inoue was a little worried.This is the first time since I met Shinobu, I saw him take the initiative to open the wine bottle.

"...Probably...today's wine, unexpectedly...it's delicious." Sitting on the chair, Ninja stared blankly at Inoue, who took out a pack of cigarettes from his pocket and lit it.

"You... actually know how to smoke?" Shinobu held the bottle.

"Sometimes I want to smoke." Inoue sat on the bed, staring at Shinobu while exhaling.

"What brand is it...Let me see..." He stood up unsteadily, tripped over the wine bottle on the ground, couldn't help but fell straight down on Inoue.

"Hey, Takatsuki! Are you... all right?" The body reacted instantly.Inoue was a little surprised by his impulsiveness, and turned his face away to avoid the smell of Shinobu in his arms.

"Let me see...you...why...you all...like this brand..." Not noticing Inoue's stiffness, Shinobu was still fiddling with the cigarette case.

"Takatsuki...I..." His breathing became extremely rapid, and Inoue clenched his fists tightly, trying to restrain himself, never wanting to hold back, he just rubbed into his arms and sat down.

"You keep smoking, okay?"

"Takatsuki..."

"Miyagi..." Shinobu smiled with his eyes closed, "You smell...as if he..."

Desire is completely extinguished.The program on TV smiled, but he couldn't hear what he was saying.Inoue looked down at Shinobu in his arms, sighed, brought the cigarette to his mouth, and took a deep breath.

Putting Shinobu under the quilt, he pulled his shirt unconsciously, and Inoue simply took off the shirt.

"Why is it so late?" The voice on the phone was not angry.

"Sorry for being so late." After closing the bathroom door, Inoue leaned against the wall.

"Drinking?"

"How did Uncle Nosaka manage to let that person go willingly?"

"There are both internal and external forces, why ask this?"

"I'm a little curious." Inoue looked at himself in the mirror, expressionless.

"I don't know much about that person, but my wife is very familiar with him. However, your mission is almost over, and I have already sent the money."

"Oh," Inoue smiled helplessly, "Excuse me, please rest."
