cliff

At the exit of the third basement floor, there are pieces of mirror walls.In the long and narrow corridor, there are light strips that change colors, sometimes soft blue, sometimes white, and sometimes warm yellow.

The warm yellow light hits the skin, which will make the skin particularly soft.It is simply a natural beauty filter.The mirrored wall enlarges the corridor countless times - visually.It transforms the thick darkness into an exceptionally beautiful one, like walking in dreamy spaces.

After walking in this beautiful darkness for about 20 minutes, I finally saw the light of day again——out of the gate.An exit hall was also built at the gate, probably to relieve the tension of the eyes from the dark to the sun.

However, this is far from the divided area of ​​this aquarium, and it is still far from the real exit-yes, because there is still an above-ground part.

Out of the exit hall, there are many hawkers.Lu Chen pulled Shen Yi to buy two corns, a bottle of yogurt, a box of pure milk and two bottles of mineral water—from nine o'clock in the evening to 01:30 in the afternoon, he walked around for more than four hours, no matter how proud he was The people should also faint from hunger.

Lu Chen glanced around, tsk, no one sells food.The only thing that can be eaten as a meal... He looked at the corn in his hand.Lu Chen sighed inwardly, lamenting that no one has market vision.So many people who are dizzy from hunger don't even sell food and snacks!

"I'll go buy some more corn. There are fried skewers over there, do you want to eat?" Lu Chen pointed to a fried skewers stall 100 meters away—the crowd was so crowded!Talk about a healthy diet, go on a diet to lose weight, and stay thin and die?Tsk, where have all your ambitions gone? !

Shen Yi took a bite of the corn, took a bite and said vaguely, "I'll go with you, there are too many people, what should I do if I get lost?"

"Come on", Lu Chen stood up and stretched out a hand, Shen Yi put one hand on it, Lu Chen pulled Shen Yi up from the steps with force.

The two squeezed against the crowd for a long time before they managed to see the boss's true face.

Lu Chen glanced at the oily booth, touched his growling stomach, and then hugged Shen Yi to escape the impact of a tough girl—this girl is really a god, she yelled from the outside It took less than 2 minutes to squeeze to the inner circle.

abuse!

Lu Chen gave her a thumbs up in his heart.He lowered his head and asked Shen Yi, "See what skewers you want to eat?"

Shen Yi looked at the dark frying pan and frowned, "Come... let's just get a few intestines." He turned his eyes away so as not to affect his appetite while eating.

Lu Chen ordered five sausages at the boss, then scanned the QR code to pay, and brought the payment interface to the boss's eyes to avoid unnecessary disputes.

It's not easy to get in, and it's not easy to get out.The two of them went out almost backwards - because they couldn't turn around at all.

Lu Chen put him on the steps where he was squatting before, "You should wait here, there are too many people. I will come and find you later."

Shen Yi recalled the process just now, and nodded helplessly.

Lu Chen turned around and rushed into the crowd, and came back 10 minutes later with four corns and two boxes of yogurt.Shen Yi noticed Lu Chen's sunglasses hanging on his collar, and one of his legs was broken.

Shen Yi: ...

He took off his hat, fanned it, and straightened his hair before putting it back on.

After filling my stomach, I continued to move forward with the crowd.The way back needs to turn over halfway up the mountain.The mountain is not high, but there is more than one.Looking around, the three hills on the sea are connected together, and the inconspicuous mountain road in the middle of the mountain is their way back.

It is estimated that it will take three hours to walk...

Of course, there is another way, which is to take the cable car.From the air directly across the sea to the exit.But the cable car needs to buy a ticket again.

Lu Chen looked at the queue at the ticket window, took a sip of yogurt and turned to seek Shen Yi's opinion.

Without hesitation, Shen Yi turned around and followed the walking crowd.

Tsk... alright, let's treat it as exercise.

The mountain road is not easy to walk, although a two-meter-wide road has been opened in the middle, and the slope is very gentle-after all, this is not mountain climbing.However, the designer of this road may be pursuing natural beauty, and only used stone pavement that can be seen everywhere, and there is no cement mixed.It creaks when you walk, and it can hurt your feet when it's not small.

Walking on the mountainside, you can overlook the beautiful scenery of the entire sea.Some tourists sat on the motorboat and screamed loudly. It sounded like they had vented their depression and grievances. They were extraordinarily energetic and their voices were extraordinarily loud.

The sea breeze blows, bringing a unique freshness of sea water.The wind shattered the blazing sun, but it blew out a breath of spring in the days when it was about to enter the midsummer of June.

The scenery on the mountain is not bad either. This mountain—in fact, it should be called a hill.There are some plants that are unique to coastal areas on the hills. The trunks look a little dry and the branches and leaves are withered, but the bark is still bright green when you look closely-it's a pity that you don't know what species it is.

In the confrontation and running-in with nature, every life has found the most suitable way of life.

Lu Chen followed behind Shen Yi, looking after him while admiring the sparkling sea.There was still the sound of the crowd playing around, but the sound became smaller and smaller as we walked back-no matter how beautiful the scenery is, I can't bear the tiredness!

After three hours, they finally came to the smooth road.Lu Chen moved his limbs, and Shen Yi also stretched his waist and bent his legs.Long-term exercise makes people's muscles very stiff, and people with poor physique will definitely have leg pain tomorrow.

"How is it?" Lu Chen walked to Shen Yi's side, and Shen Yi was doing stretching movements while sitting and bending forward.He tried several times, but couldn't reach the ground.Finally he gave up, stood up and looked at Lu Chen.

"what time is it?"

Lu Chen took out his mobile phone and looked, "It's past four o'clock, so you're exhausted. Shall we take a taxi back?"

Shen Yi lowered his eyes and was silent for a while, then nodded slightly.

"Go back and order a cake for you, and then go to the supermarket. I'll cook for you today, what do you want to eat?" Shen Yi said to Lu Chen with a smile on his lips.

Lu Chen rolled his eyes with a smile, turned his eyes and thought for a while, "Hmm... How about corn rib soup? How about some cold dishes?"

Seeing his excitement, Shen Yi smiled and nodded.

Lu Chen: "Then is my lunar birthday still celebrated? Today is so grand."

Shen Yi: "Just live it if you think about it, it's no big deal. You can live it every day if you want to."

Lu Chen looked at him with a bright smile, "Since when did you become so romantic? You can still talk like this."

Shen Yi rubbed the corners of his eyebrows disapprovingly, "That's how romance novels are written."

Lu Chen: "Then... what else do you write in romance novels?"

Shen Yi raised his eyebrows, and suddenly looked at Lu Chen affectionately, as if wanting to look into his eyes, leaned over and said softly, "Every day I'm with you is Valentine's Day."

Lu Chen was taken aback, why did he feel like he was being molested?

The brat doesn't know how to learn well!

Lu Chen gave him a hard look while laughing.

The scheduled car arrived soon. Lu Chen saw the license plate and stood on the side of the road waving.The driver flashed his lights and slowly stopped on the side of the road.

Lu Chen opened the car door and let Shen Yi go in first, followed by himself.

The space in this car is a bit cramped. After putting two big men in, there is no extra space left.Shen Yi leaned on his shoulder as if sleepy, speechless along the way.

More than an hour later, the car parked beside the Life Plaza.

The two first went to the cake room to order a cake - 8-inch single layer, chocolate embryo, animal cream, simple fruit decoration.There is also a set of 18 candles.

This was chosen by Shen Yi.

There are not many people in the supermarket, after all, it is not time to get off work.Pork ribs, fresh corn, spinach, vermicelli, cucumbers, tomatoes... It looks like I can't wait to have a full banquet.

And a box of bonbons.

Shen Yi was unusually quiet.However, his expression was normal, and he was doing what he usually did in peace, Lu Chen didn't care too much.After all, there are not many times when Shen Yi is really emotional.

After leaving the supermarket, Lu Chen dragged him to the dried fruit store to buy two catties of melon seeds, one catty of almonds and half a catty of macadamia nuts.

Shen Yi didn't ask much, but he guessed in his heart, um, this person might want to grind his teeth.

Shen Yi raised his hand to cover the sun, even though it was afternoon, the sun was still very scorching.

"Don't you want to drink some wine today?"

Lu Chen turned his head and glanced at him, "No need, just eat melon seeds."

Shen Yi frowned and looked at him, "These two... have any relationship?"

Lu Chen sneaked up to his ear, blocked it with his hand, and said solemnly, "Drinking alcohol hurts the body and the kidneys."

Shen Yi turned his head and looked at him, "Why didn't I see you have this awareness before? You haven't fallen behind like smoking and drinking!"

Lu Chen scratched his lips, and said casually, "I never realized that you can be so high..."

Shen Yi: "..."

He really couldn't help kicking him - with this guy next to him, no matter how deep it is, it can't sink.

After kicking someone, Shen Yi turned around and was about to leave.

With a "slap", Shen Yi was hit on the forehead.He looked down - a fruit candy.Then subconsciously looked up - Si Yue was standing on the third floor waving at him in the afterglow of the setting sun.

Lu Chen also looked up and saw it, and asked him angrily, "What are you doing?"

Si Yue leaned on the railing and said with a smile, "The results of the selection are out, I didn't expect that I was No.1. Haha", he turned his head to look at Shen Yi and continued, "What reward do you want, beauty? Uh, How about a physical promise? Although I am straight, I don't mind if I look like you!"

Lu Chen: "..."

Fuck/Does his grandma think I'm dead?

Lu Chen raised his hand, "Get out!"

After saying that, he took Shen Yi's arm and was about to leave.

Si Yue let out an "hey", "You really don't want to be paid!"

Shen Yi paused, raised his head and said to Si Yue on the third floor, "Didn't you give all the compensation? You forgot the free filming fee?"

Si Yueyi raised his hand, "Hi! Can that little money be compared with this? However, I owe you a favor. If you need me in the future, just ask!"

Shen Yi didn't reply, turned around and left.

Lu Chen looked at Si Yue on the third floor, then at Shen Yi in front of him, turned his head and pointed a middle finger at the third floor.April blew him a kiss back.

Fortunately, Lu Chen turned his head and left after raising his middle finger, without receiving April's blown kiss.Otherwise, this affectionate scene might turn into a fight scene in a blink of an eye.

Lu Chen caught up with Shen Yi, and Shen Yi had already entered the bakery to take the cake.Lu Chen stood at the door, staring at him sadly until he walked out of the bakery.

Shen Yi tilted his head and glanced at him, indicating what's wrong?

Lu Chen narrowed his eyes and stared at him, no matter how he looked, he looked like a wild animal whose territorial sovereignty had been violated.

Shen Yi glanced at him, not knowing if he understood his expression, he walked past Lu Chen and walked away.There is no comfort and no explanation.Not even a joking sneer.

Lu Chen instantly felt a little empty in his heart.He followed Shen Yi, and said angrily, "...I'm very happy to be liked." Then he sneaked a glance at Shen Yi.

Shen Yi didn't look sideways, and said lightly, "Of course it's very happy to be liked, who doesn't want to be liked?"

Lu Chen: "..."

He walked in front of Shen Yi step by step, blocked his way, and stared at Shen Yi with mixed grievances and anger.

"...What do you mean?" Lu Chen said aggrievedly.

Shen Yi lowered his eyes, "It's just a matter of nature, everyone feels that way. Don't like being loved, do you like being scolded?" He looked up at Lu Chen and explained...

This is true, but...

Lu Chen was speechless for a moment, feeling a little uncomfortable——shouldn't you coax me at this time?

Shen Yi looked at him for a while, then touched him with his elbow, "Let's go, it's getting late. Go back and celebrate your birthday."

Lu Chen felt that a basin of water had been splashed on his heart, and he had no strength in his whole body, and he couldn't even take a step.

Shen Yi was silent for a long time, then hugged his waist, knowingly asked, "What's wrong?"

Lu Chen pursed his lips and shook his head, "Let's go home."

Shen Yi lowered his eyes to look at the dozen plastic bags in his hand, "I'll do it", and stretched out his hand to take it.

Lu Chen hid, "You can just carry the cake. It's easy to break."

Shen Yi nodded, and did not continue to fight with him.He walked slowly ahead.

Lu Chen glanced at his back in disappointment, still feeling aggrieved.It's not the kind of grievance that children can act like a baby at will - the reason why children act like a baby is because they know that there is someone who spoils them.

But suddenly one day, this person who has always been used to himself began to be indifferent, the grievance caused by the feeling of emptiness in his heart.

Lu Chen felt a sense of emptiness in his heart right now.

His heart was empty, and his legs and feet seemed to have become weak.Weakly walking on the smooth concrete road.

Shen Yi opened the door and put the cake on the dining table.Lu Chen followed into the door and put the dishes into the kitchen.

It was already past six o'clock, and Shen Yi started to process the ribs and corn. In order to save time, he used a pressure cooker to stew the soup.

Lu Chen leaned against the door, watching his every move, but didn't see any difference from before.I wondered if I was thinking too much and my nerves were sensitive.

At around seven o'clock, all the meals were officially served.Shen Yi put the finished dishes on the plate, and Lu Chen brought them to the dining table.

As soon as the fat man opened the door, he smelled the smell of meat, and couldn't help but washed his hands and came over.

Fat Brother looked at the big table of dishes and couldn't help but wonder, "What day is this today? Why is it as grand as the New Year's Eve dinner?"

Shen Yi said lightly: "His birthday."

Lu Chen turned to look at Fatty, "Hey."

The fat man was taken aback, looked at Lu Chen and said, "Hey, I didn't prepare a gift, you said, how about I get you some clothes some other day?"

Lu Chen waved his hand, "Forget it, I haven't celebrated your birthday yet? Just get together for a meal, I'm not that particular."

The fat man raised his chest and clasped his fists, revealing a sense of loyalty, and said, "Thank you, big brother!"

Shen Yi served Lu Chen a bowl of pork ribs and corn soup, and Lu Chen picked up the soup and looked up at him.He always felt that something was a little different about Shen Yi today, it was vague, and he couldn't detect it if he wasn't careful enough.

Shen Yi ignored Lu Chen's gaze and filled another bowl for the fat man.The fat man took a sip, let out a "tsk", turned his head and said to Lu Chen bitterly, "Lu Chen, you can be content! Look at this..." He raised his finger and pointed to Shen Yi, "You can go up to the hall and go down to the kitchen. Yes, what more do you want?"

Lu Chen glanced at Shen Yi, and echoed, "I didn't expect anything extravagantly." He looked at Shen Yi and asked, "Is it?"

Shen Yi sneered and gave him a blank look.

The fat man took a sip of water, "You guys wait until I finish eating before you flirt... By the way, did I delay your two-person world? Don't worry, I eat very quickly, and I'll go back to the store to hit the floor after eating!"

Shen Yi looked at him helplessly, and said with a smile, "The world of two is over, you can just eat slowly."

The fat man sucked his chopsticks and nodded, "Yeah! But, your craftsmanship is really good." He looked at Shen Yi while eating and said.

Lu Chen interjected naturally, "Hmph, my craft is pretty good too."

The fat man nodded, "Well, yes, the food you cooked last time was really good."

Lu Chen looked triumphantly at Shen Yi, begging for praise.

Shen Yi silently gave him a thumbs up.Lu Chen lowered his head and arched his nose, looking a little embarrassed! ...Amazing!

Lu Chen wiped his mouth after eating, "Before eating the cake... should you sing me a birthday song?" He looked at Shen Yi meaningfully, and Shen Yi looked back at him meaningfully.Seeing it, Lu Chen lowered his eyes as if guilty, and then mustered up the courage to stare back.

Shen Yi scratched his temple hair, looked at Fatty, "Fatty Brother, you can sing a song for him. I'll go to the bathroom." After finishing speaking, Lu Chen took a look and went into the bathroom.

Lu Chen: "..."

I am wronged! ! !

The fat brother looked at the two people who were flirting, and helplessly covered his fat face, "I said, you two, can you take care of my feelings as a single dog?"

Lu Chen was upset at first, so he sprayed back, "Is there a dog as fat as you? He's obviously a single pig, okay?"

Fatty: "..."

"You usually teach students like this? They didn't give you a negative score to complain?"

Lu Chen leaned his head back on the chair, "Ha! A handsome male teacher like us doesn't need the packaging art of language."

The fat man shook his head, "Tsk tsk tsk, fortunately I graduated early. Otherwise, you would be the first object of my complaint. Reason for complaint: Shameless!"

Lu Chen didn't care about the fat man's teasing, and looked at the bathroom door from the corner of his eye, his eyes were a little far away.

The fat man glanced at him, feeling helpless, "I said, just going to the toilet can make you so worried? You..." He leaned over and approached Lu Chen, "Are you sick?"

Lu Chen stared at the door for a while, then turned around and said in a low voice, "Maybe I'm thinking too much, I always feel that he is suddenly a little alienated from me."

The fat man raised his eyebrows, followed by a glance at the bathroom, and turned around, "Isn't it possible?" He pointed at the table dishes with his chopsticks, "You're so considerate, why are you still distant?" The fat man frowned and thought about Shen Yi's behavior today. In every move, I couldn't feel the alienation taste in Lu Chen's mouth.

Lu Chen seemed to ponder for a while, then shook his head, as if he wanted to get rid of his wild thoughts.

"Hey, maybe I'm thinking too much. Shen Yi...I'm always a little nervous about him."

Shen Yi nestled in the bathroom, locked the door behind him, sat on the toilet holding his phone in a daze.He didn't know why he came in, he just wanted to be alone.The voices outside were rustling, and he couldn't hear what the two of them said, and he didn't intend to listen carefully.

Just a little... flustered.So he needs to store up a lot of courage to face this inexplicable panic carved into his bones.

His fingertips were whitish, and his appearance was like that of a sculpture.Calm, calm and restrained, something is brewing.Like a frozen lake, all the surging waves are hidden underneath.

Lu Chen's phone vibrated suddenly, and he took a moment to react before taking out his phone and looking at it.His brow frowned suddenly.But still pressed answer.

Two minutes later, there was a knock on the bathroom door.

"Shen Yi?" Lu Chen's voice came through the wooden door.

Shen Yi took a breath and slowed down for a while, "Yes."

"I'll go out for a while, uh... I might not come back tonight." Lu Chen's tone was uncertain.

Shen Yi put his elbows on his knees, held the phone with both hands, and stared at the lock screen for a long time——

Didn't you promise me that you won't go out today?

"Okay", Shen Yi said.

After another 3 minutes, the sound of the anti-theft door switch came from outside the door.

Shen Yi raised his hand and turned on the shower.An hour later, when he walked out of the bathroom door in his bathrobe, the dining table had already been cleared.The fat man's bedroom was lit.
