Boiling point

He Xin actually didn't know where he was going. He just thought it was good to wander aimlessly in this weather. They drove forward with their heads down, letting the endless scenery keep leaving behind, as if they had thrown away many troubles.

It's been a really stressful time, so it's time to relax.

"Have you ever been to South Lake?" Li Yanqi was afraid that he would not hear, so he lifted his helmet and leaned into his ear and said.

"I passed by it before, why? Is it fun there?" He Xin slid around a bend and said.

Li Yanqi hugged him from behind, put his chin on his shoulder and said, "My mother brought me here once when I was a child, but I never went there again when I grew up, and I suddenly wanted to go there to see."

He Xin took out her phone to make a reservation, then snapped her fingers at him, "Let's go."

There are four iconic waters in Nanxi, Nanhu, Xitan, Beiwan and Donggang. Their home is the closest to Beiwan. In summer, there is a dense and lively night market on Beiwan Bridge. Some time ago, I went there to buy snacks almost every night. Eat, and Xitan is a place that He Xin hates very much, because Li Yanqi raced through the quagmire with others before, and suffered a lot of grievances, and then Donggang, the two of them had their first date in the zoo in Donggang District, I just remember that going around on the winding mountain road beside the pier is killing people.Nanhu is the only place among the four scenes that they have not been to together. There is a Nanhu Park. The park is very large and there are no recreational facilities. For the sake of the original natural landscape, even the vendors are limited to less than ten. They bought tickets to enter , I found that today is the eve of the [-]th, except for the staff who are preparing for the [-]th camping festival, the whole park is empty, and there is no one at all.

"Let's go." Li Yanqi grabbed He Xin's wrist, his fingertips slipped off his forearm, and took his hand.

He Xin immediately wrapped his hand firmly in his palm.

"If we two old men go shopping in the park like this, if someone sees it, it will probably be on social news."

Li Yanqi turned his face sideways and glanced at him with a smile, "Are you afraid?"

"Scared of farts." He Xin took his hand and shook it vigorously twice.

"Fuck, it's broken." Li Yanqi twisted his arms and walked forward, his breathing gradually calmed down. This path is very long, surrounded by green grass, glistening with drops of water. After a rain, I can still smell the fresh earthy smell.

No one spoke, walking slowly side by side, occasionally looking up at the sky, seeing the plane passing through the gray sky leaving a cloud trace, seeing the neat and silent row of trees, and seeing the birds landing on the opposite side On the bridge, there is a lot of chatter...

Time seems to be frozen, this moment is peaceful and beautiful, it is gorgeous enough to become a painting without words.

There is a wishing island in the center of the lake, and you have to take a boat to go up. The weather is not good today. The charterer saw people coming after a long time, and urged them to go up to have fun. Yuan two people.

He Xin was still dazed when she stepped onto the boat.

Li Yanqi pointed to himself with a smile, "A must-have product for travel at home."

He Xin rowed the oars and said, "Bring a little milk foam here in the future, and the three of you can bargain up to 25, I admire it from the bottom of my heart."

"Why not?" Li Yanqi narrowed his eyes confidently, "How can I pay it back?"

He Xin didn't believe in this evil, there would be no shortage of heartless masters, he pursed his lips and said, "Whatever you want to do."

Li Yanqi showed a determined smile, glanced at He Xin, then took the oar in his hand and slid forward, "That's how it is done, we have been walking in place just now."

He Xin stared at him, pretending to be exaggerated, "Why is my boyfriend so versatile, he can do everything."

Li Yanqi said, "You said this sentence before."

He Xin thought for a while, picked up another paddle and followed his movements to paddle the lake, "What did you say at that time?"

Li Yanqi tapped the oars with his fingers, "I can do everything except fall in love, that's what my brother said."

"Now you can even fall in love, why are you so awesome." He Xin suddenly stopped moving and stared at him, "Wait a minute, if your brother finds out that we have that kind of relationship in the future, won't he What do you agree to do?"

"What kind of relationship?" Li Yanqi deliberately teased.

"Do you really want me to make my words so clear?" He Xin leaned over and kissed him on the lips, "It's the relationship of eating the other party's saliva."

"Hey, don't let the cleanliness live." Li Yanqi said so, but still smiled with lowered eyelids, "If one day my brother can understand what our relationship is, then I won't even have time to laugh."

He Xin immediately understood what he was talking about, squeezed the other person's shoulder and sighed, "He will definitely grow up to understand these things, and then I will tell him, I am you... ...." Suddenly thinking of the name of her brother's other half, He Xin closed her mouth in time.

"Sister-in-law." Li Yanqi answered, "Sister-in-law Lemon Essence."

"Go, go." He Xin frowned in disgust, "I've never heard such an ugly name."

Li Yanqi tilted his head on his shoulder, and could hold back his laughter at first, but seeing He Xin's serious expression, he couldn't hold back after paddling for a while, his shoulders trembled, and he raised his arms Covering his face, trying to hide his smile.

“我怎么这么想揍你呢塔哥。”贺忻恶作剧似的凑近他耳边，轻轻舔了下他的耳垂，李言蹊耳朵非常敏感，唇刚碰到他耳廓，就发现他瑟缩for a moment.

Of course, Li Yanqi would never admit his shortcomings, and used the theory of "the wind mixed with cold water blowing over the body to cause physiological muscle contraction" to fool him.

He Xin applauded him, saying that if you continue to act, I will never let you down.

Li Yanqi pushed his glasses, and when they got off the boat, he reached into He Xin's clothes with a vengeful heart and rubbed his waist.

Both of them are half-grown boys, you tease me and I kiss you, it's really indecent in broad daylight, fortunately there is no one in the scenic spot today, it doesn't matter how you play hooligans, in the end the battle situation doesn't distinguish between you and me, He Xin put his head to the side Li Yanqi arched his arms twice to be considered a narrow victory.

"Our dog is so cute, so good."

"Have you ever seen a 1.9-meter-two big dog?" He Xin straightened up and nodded at herself, "National rare and protected animals."

Li Yanqi pressed a lock of hair on his head and smiled happily, "It's not the country's, it's mine."

"Remember to pay taxes to the country." He Xin brushed off his clothes, walked forward with his arms around the other person's shoulders, "Go over there and have a look."

The reason why the wishing island is called the wishing island is because there is a tree on the island. At first glance, this tree is no different from other trees. If you look carefully, you can see a tree hole on the trunk that is one head high from them. It is full of coins, most of which are tourists who come to make wishes.

"It's quite difficult." He Xin changed several positions, but still couldn't throw it in. "You try?"

Li Yanqi walked over and raised his head to throw the coin, but the coin rubbed against the tree trunk and spun twice before falling off.

They tried several times, but all ended in failure.

"No wonder it's called the wishing tree. If everyone puts it in so easily, the wish will not work." He Xin took off his coat and threw it to Li Yanqi, thinking of a trick by himself , climbing trees.

As expected of his long legs, three or two jumps are enough. He reached out and stuffed the coin into the tree hole, climbed up a few more steps, and said something to the tree hole.

"I don't know if you are spiritual or not. Since I am lucky enough to meet you, let me say hello."

Li Yanqi was supporting the tree below, when he suddenly heard him lower his head and shout, "Brother Ta, take a piece of paper and write our names on it, throw it up for me, and throw me a pen up it."

Li Yanqi quickly tore off a page of the draft book, wrote two names on it, crumpled it into a ball of paper and threw it towards He Xin. He Xin took it twice before continuing, and weighed it in his hand , wrote a line under their names, wrapped the coins in paper, and threw them into the tree hole together.

After jumping down from the tree, Li Yanqi took a paper towel and wiped away the mud spots on his clothes.

"I have one coin left, would you like to try?"

Li Yanqi smiled and said yes.

He climbed the tree very neatly, at least when he was a child, he was definitely a master. He kicked his legs and raised his arms, and he climbed to the top. He wanted to see He Xin's wish, but the moment he opened the ball of paper with his hands, After hesitating, he finally let go of his fingers reluctantly, threw the coin in, said the wish in his heart silently, turned his head and came down.

He Xin looked at him from below, and opened a hand to take him into her arms.

"good luck."

Li Yanqi smiled and said, "Gong Xi Fa Cai."

The two of them wandered around the wishing island, and finally found that it was really just a broken island with "fake appearances". Except for the tree, which was a bit of a gimmick, the rest was desolate.

In less than an hour, they returned the same way. There was an old man and an old woman walking hand in hand in the park. Li Yanqi was holding He Xin's hand, and they stared at them for a long time.

Both of them didn't let go, they just continued to hold each other and walk back and forth, who is not a couple?

Finally, a business-minded hawker came here, looked at them and asked, "Do you want to buy Nanhu Q cake?"

He Xin likes to eat sweets. Nanhu Q cakes are divided into four layers, half with sweet fillings and half with meat floss fillings, also known as lovers cakes. The outermost layer is soft and delicious glutinous rice, wrapped with bean paste, and the inside is meat floss and egg yolk. , in order to neutralize the greasy sweetness, the outer shell is fried soft and crispy, sprinkled with a layer of sesame seeds, and it is very exciting to bite down.

He Xin ate three in a row, and packed another four back for the little milk foam to eat. Li Yanqi leaned on the guardrail, looked sideways at his puffed cheeks, smiled and said, "You love this so much ah?"

"It's not bad." He Xin said, "It's very fragrant, can you make it?"

Li Yanqi showed his dimples with a smile, "If you want to eat, I'll learn it, I can learn everything quickly."

He Xin stopped chewing, looked at him without speaking for a while, his eyes were squinted by the wind, he put one hand in his pocket and the other held the cake, and asked quite seriously, "Then what else do I want to eat?"

"I'm going to apply for a chef class." Li Yanqi said, "If I really have a stable job and money in the future, I will be a doctor in my main job, and open a restaurant as a side job, and cook whatever you want."

He Xin lowered her head and kissed Li Yanqi's forehead, "Okay, I'll wait."

"Tsk, there's still crumbs on your mouth. He Xiaogou." Li Yanqi rubbed his hands, his disgusted tone couldn't stop the smile on his face, and the two stood on the bridge with their hands tightly pressed together, hanging over the railing On one side, the water on the lake was shimmering, imprinting their shadows. Li Yanqi watched the sunset quietly. On the other side was the golden sunset glow. The next piece of light is the most gentle and stable color.

It was late at night, and on the way back Li Yanqi was driving, He Xin wrapped his arms around his waist, hugging him tightly, as if listening to his heartbeat.

"Let's drive into the tunnel on Xiachuan Road later."

"Huh?" Li Yanqi slowed down and looked at him puzzled.

He Xin rubbed her chin on his shoulder, "Listen to me."

The singer in the tunnel is still there today. When Li Yanqi and the others drove by, he was singing a sad love song. He Xin waved to him, "Hey, buddy, I told you I didn't break up."

Li Yanqi was puzzled for a while, the singer was also taken aback, immediately plucked the strings twice, and played a very healing love song instead, "Did you come here on purpose to show off?"

He Xin raised her eyebrows, "Can't you?"

"All right, all right," the singer clasped his fists towards them, pointing to the exit of the tunnel between playing, "Then I wish you happiness, rush through the darkness, and go into the light."

"Thank you, and you too." He Xin waved her hand with a smile, and buckled her helmet, "Let's go, Brother Ta."

Li Yanqi asked while driving, "Who is he, so literary?"

"A great hero with a dream in his heart." He Xin said, "On the first day I came to Nanxi, I stayed with him and listened to the song for a long time. gone."

Li Yanqi touched his head with a bit of distress, and looked back at the singer. The other party's guitar and his whole body seemed to be melting into the darkness, but his voice was very clear, and it continued to reach their ears. side.He stepped on the brakes, smiled and blinked, "Anyone who has a dream is great."

He Xin tapped on his safety helmet, and then hummed in a low voice, "Take me away, to the distant future, take me away, and be lonely by myself."

Li Yanqi turned around, tapped his toes to a rhythm, and then stepped on the accelerator and rushed out. He changed the lyrics without authorization and sang, "Take me away, let my love, your freedom, not become a bubble .”

Just as the car was speeding past the intersection, accompanied by several street lights, they sang in chorus, "I'm not afraid, take me away."

The National Day holiday is a luxury for senior high school students. The seven days are like mung beans and sesame seeds. The small ones can’t be seen. Against the backdrop of the desolate scene of fallen leaves, each one of them seemed to be acting in the years of burning passion, desperately trying to improve their grades before the three models.

Two-mode and three-mode, thinking about it is still far away from the final exam, but every day I write questions, correct mistakes and endorse, don't think about anything around me, and when I devote myself to studying, life will pass very quickly. It's like pressing the fast forward button.

In order to stimulate the learning potential of the students in their class, the new head teacher, Mr. Zeng, adopted the method of arranging tables according to their ranks. Sister Liao and Xue Wen were the first couple to be dismantled. Li Xuewen is No.1, and sister Liao's grades, it is impossible to sit at the front and back tables with He Xin now.

But He Xin was quite conscientious, according to the teacher's division, he had to sit in the third row, and the people behind him couldn't see at all when he was straight, so he took the initiative to "repeat the grade", and became the front and rear tables with Sister Liao.

"Brother, what should I do? I've worked very hard, but I just can't pass the exam." Sister Liao lay down on He Xin's desk despondently, her face was almost ten years old with worry.

"You call it hard work? I think you slept well in class." He Xin mocked him.

Sister Liao pursed her lips, "Didn't I be too tired from studying last night?"

Just as He Xin was about to say something, she saw Xue Wen holding a stack of thick notebooks and throwing them on Sister Liao's desk, "You take a good look at it for me, if you can't get into the top [-] in the final exam, let's worship."

Sister Liao was afraid that she would get angry, so she stood up in a panic, Xue Wen glared at him, and he withdrew his hand weakly, and lowered his head to look through the notes she wrote for him, from He Xin's point of view, he could roughly see, It is a very thick book, densely packed with review points, outlined with red pens, blue pens and black pens of different colors, written very carefully.

"Ms. Ren has put in a lot of effort, trying to get into the same university as you. Are you still working hard to memorize and wait for the New Year?"

Sister Liao held the exercise book that was as heavy as Mount Tai, and sat down sullenly with her chin resting on her chin. She thought about it for a while, then she got the courage to shout to Xue Wen who was thousands of miles away from him, " I will try my best to go to the same university as you, and if I am not in the same university, I will also go to the same city as you. I will definitely improve in this final exam! Just wait and see!"

This shout of pride and ambition really went against Sister Liao's character of being cowardly in front of her girlfriend, and it aroused booing from everyone in the class. The younger sister scratched her hair, smiling sincerely and foolishly, her face was hot for a while, she turned her head, coughed, and covered her reddening ears with a book.

He Xin suddenly felt a sense of pride that "my family has a baby who is just growing up", and patted Sister Liao on the back twice, thinking in her heart that since she was dumped like shit, why don't she go upstairs and find her boyfriend to calm down her jealousy? .

Li Yanqi slept on his school uniform for a while. The classroom was very quiet. Most of the people were buried in writing. There was only the sound of the tip of the pen across the paper. He was too tired to fall asleep. He closed his eyes and began to recite words, from A to A. When I was talking about C-type words, I suddenly heard a familiar voice on the radio.

He first made an opening remark in English, to the effect that every Tuesday during lunch break, he would come to the school's English radio station to chat with everyone. His wonderful London accent made the girls in the class excited.

He was a little surprised that He Xin would go to the school broadcasting station, after all, this person is the most afraid of trouble.

Li Yanqi sat up straight, poking his chin at the pen and listening carefully.

He Xin usually speaks in a very low voice, but his own voice is mellow. Occasionally, he lowers his voice and speaks close to his ear, which feels like he has undergone MRI. In fact, Li Yanqi has heard He Xin speak English many times. The first thing that struck me about this man was that he read a poem by Borges in class, but this time what he read was not so dark, but a love poem.

Li Yanqi came up with the content of the poem based on a certain word from Baidu, and he couldn't compare to He Xin's huge vocabulary.

Li Yanqi clicked on the translation of this poem, feeling a little turbulent in his heart.

This is a poem written by a Chilean poet who argues for love. Compared with Shakespeare's famous sonnets, it is much less popular.

But the sentence is very beautiful, especially this sentence "I don't need the explanation of the night, I just wait for it to cover me. You are my bread, light and night." He Xin read it aloud in his calm and deep voice, Hearing Li Yanqi's ears meant something extraordinary.

Love is truly the only risk worth taking.

Love is the only risk worth taking.

After a moment of silence in the class, Li Yanqi stood up from his seat and caught a glimpse of He Xin wandering from the radio station to the door of their class, feeling particularly sour and sweet in his heart.

Li Yanqi pushed his glasses, walked up to him and smiled at him, "The last sentence callmebaby is good."

"I read it for you to relieve the pressure of studying. I don't tell ordinary people." He Xin raised his eyes to look at him, and stretched out his hand to thump Li Yanqi's shoulder.

"Baby." Li Yanqi leaned closer to his ear, "Is that how you pronounce it, Mr. He?"

He Xin looked around and reached out to scratch his palm.

It was a rather deserted moment, everyone was busy writing, the campus was quiet as if they were asleep, they walked around the playground twice slowly, no one disturbed them.

Just staying together in silence with each other until the bell rang, they seized the last moment of intimacy, touched up and down calmly, and the two divided their things and rushed into their own class.

When Li Yanqi went upstairs, he felt that the stairs were not stairs, but the piano keys played by He Xin. Every time he took a step up, his heart beat faster. In fact, he only listened to He Xin for 15 minutes. Li Yanqi stayed beside him for a while, and did nothing else at all, but Li Yanqi felt lighter all over, very different from the tired state just now, even the air he breathed was different.

When he walked into the class, many people looked up at him. Only then did Li Yanqi realize that he jumped in just now. He was a little embarrassed and wanted to laugh. He felt that once a person fell in love, he would Destined to be childish.

Autumn in Nanxi is very short. It seems that the menacing autumn tiger has not shown its power for a few days, and it has entered winter. The stalls around the school have been withdrawn. It is said that a civilized city will be built. The winter without oden and roasted sweet potatoes is very difficult. Especially during the period of evening self-study, I always felt that something was missing and became lifeless.

Tiredness and exhaustion are normal, but at least they still have the ability to have fun while writing. Sometimes they get bored with writing inscriptions, so they meet to go to the playground for a 10-minute run.

Li Yanqi was fined three times for shaving He Xin. This man's hair begins to grow vigorously in winter, and he is simply a human being out of season.

"If you grow taller to more than 195, I will say goodbye to you."

He Xin rubbed the foam on his chin onto his face, then lowered his head to peck his lips, "Heaven and earth conscience, some time ago the school physical examination, you 188, I'm still 192, okay?"

"One day I will be taller than you and you should cry." Li Yanxi touched his hair with a smile, "After all, this is your only advantage."

He Xin stared at him for three seconds, then eagerly leaned over to caress his body, Li Yanqi quickly took off their clothes, the two of them turned off the lights, and fell on top of each other on a bed that was not big enough to accommodate the two "giant babies". On the bed, the bed boards rattled.

He Xin's birthday coincided with the final exam, and this year was relatively difficult, everything was kept simple, and Li Yanqi's investment products just made their first sum of money, and they went out with a small milk foam to have a big meal, and returned home. After returning home, He Xin received Li Yanqi's birthday present, which was a custom jersey for his favorite team.

As soon as He Xin got the gift, he whipped him up, saying that the money was enough to give Little Milk Bubble an operation, you prodigal son.

It was the first time that Li Yanqi, who was named a prodigal son, rubbed his sore arm and laughed endlessly, "Our family He Xiaogou actually knows how to manage the house."

He Xin took a cigarette in his mouth, squinted his eyes and looked at him, listening to the other party's laughter, thinking that the lavish self would feel pain as if a piece of flesh had been gouged out whenever he saw the jersey, and thought he was too stupid , But an idiot is an idiot, who is not an idiot in front of love, so he raised his head and laughed along with him.

He hugged Li Yanqi in his arms, and rubbed his chin gently, "Brother Ta, come on for the final exam."

"Yeah." Li Yanqi kissed the tip of his nose, thought for a while, but still didn't tell him about the remaining half of the presents given to him after the college entrance examination, and smiled softly, "The art training went well."

The tiredness of the two of them this year was broken up by the final exam. The final exam of the art students was spent in the training camp outside the city. They got up early every day and started painting, and they went back to the dormitory at night. Faced with piles of exercises and endless test papers.

Because they are busy, they don't feel how difficult the life is, and they are still a little bit looking forward to it.

They have the same phone call on time every day, and they talk about boring questions, such as what did you eat today, what do you want to eat tomorrow, what questions did you do, are you tired, is there anything interesting happening, today He Xinren The strong wind swept away the snow scum on the trees, and the coldness blowing on his face made Li Yanqi build a snowman. It was below zero on their side. He was wrapped in a thick padded jacket and stood on the stone bridge. Video with him.

"Artistic skills are good." Li Yanqi looked at the snowman on the screen and gave him a thumbs up.

He Xinha let out a sigh of relief, and said with a smile, "Brother Ta, are you lying on the bed?"

"Not yet, I'm still writing questions." Li Yanqi said, "I just got stuck on a certain question, and I haven't figured it out after writing for half an hour."

"Come on." He Xin rubbed the tip of her nose, wrapped the scarf tighter, lowered her head and stomped on the cigarette.

"Well, after the video with you, I'll fight for another hour." Li Yanqi stared at his hand, "Hurry up and put it in your pocket, don't touch the snow, it's so dirty."

"Are you so lenient when you're not by my side?" He Xin stomped on the snow.

Li Yanqi suddenly fell silent, and it took him a long time to close his eyes and let out a long breath.

"What's wrong?" He Xin asked.

Li Yanqi wiped the lens with a paper towel, pretending to be unintentional, and said, "Little Milk Bubble said he missed you."

He Xin gathered the coat that had been blown in by the wind, leaned closer to the screen and smiled, pointed at her numb lips and said, "Oh? Is he the only one who misses me?"

Li Yanqi didn't put his glasses back on the bridge of his nose, and approached him tacitly, and they kissed through the screen.

He drooped his eyelashes slightly, and spoke in a hoarse, somewhat sexy voice.

"I miss you everywhere."

He Xin felt that sometimes Li Yanqi played hooliganism, making him feel as if he had a fake boyfriend.

"Brother Ta." He squinted his eyes, and glanced at his open collar with an ambiguous expression. Li Yanqi is a very weak person, and he had to pull his collar to show him his thin and beautiful collarbone, " Feast your eyes."

Unconvinced, He Xin immediately moved the phone to her long legs and shook it back and forth twice. If it wasn't for the padded jacket that was wrapped too tightly, he would definitely have lifted the clothes to show her abs.

Li Yanqi smiled for a while and suddenly stopped. The lights in the surrounding rooms were basically turned off, only the faint light of the desk lamp was on beside him. It's so long.

He said seriously, "I miss you very much."

He Xin smiled, "I miss you too."
