You who walk against the light

Zhong Kaifan has always been close to his grandfather, mainly because he followed him as an old man during the summer vacation when he was a child. Before coming to Kunshan this time, he specially greeted his grandfather and asked him to pay attention to his health.Thinking that he would only stay for one day, he didn't call his mother, after all, her mother had a new family.

Zhong Kaifan smiled and said, "I'm afraid of disturbing you."

Zhang Yaping raised her tone, her voice was gentle but anxious: "What's bothering you? Kaifan, you're too out of touch."

Duan Qi was checking out at the front desk. At this time, they were planning to go directly to Suzhou North Railway Station.

He was silent for a moment, and after thinking for a while, he said, "I'll just stay for one day, and I'm going back to Beijing tonight."

"Stay for a day? What is your urgent need in Kunshan?"

"Business." Zhong Kaifan replied calmly.

Zhang Yaping said angrily: "What business is worth your distance? There is a lot of competition for equity. Why don't you stay in Beijing to calm down the situation and come to Kunshan for vacation?"

In my impression, my mother has always been a gentle person, and she seldom has such intense emotions. Zhong Kaifan couldn't help laughing, "Hey..."

"Tell the truth yourself, Uncle Liu knows you are in Kunshan today, and has been preparing dinner for dinner since the afternoon."

Zhong Kaifan had no choice but to say: "He... was recording a program in Kunshan, and I only stayed for one day."

Zhang Yaping understood as soon as she heard this, and her tone softened a bit: "That's fine, come over to have dinner together at night."

"Mom—" Zhong Kaifan got dizzy when he heard it, "He's busy there, it's not like you don't know."

Zhang Yaping vaguely knew that the person her son liked was now a celebrity, so she said, "Then give him a call."

"You don't need to ask, he must be busy."

Zhang Yaping sighed: "Just call and ask, even if he can't come, you will be happy to know that we have invited him so carefully."

Only then did Zhong Kaifan understand his mother's deep meaning, his eyes suddenly became hot, and his voice softened, "That's okay, I'll ask."

Mom asked again: "It's only after three o'clock, you must arrive before dinner. Sister Yuanyuan will also go home for dinner today, and we are all waiting for you."

"Understood." Zhong Kaifan frowned and assured.

After Zhong Kaifan finished speaking on the phone, Duan Qi walked towards him, "We can go."

Zhong Kaifan looked down at the phone, "Change the ticket, my mother is calling." He was going to send Lin Yuan a WeChat message, but he thought that he must not have time to watch during the rehearsal, so he dialed the phone directly, and the phone rang for a long time before he was picked up .

It's a girl, "Mr. Zhong?"

Zhong Kaifan recognized Li Meng's voice, and said shortly: "Is Lin Yuan free to answer the phone now?"

Li Meng lowered her volume and said, "Yes, just wait a moment."

The sound of knocking on the door came from the other end of the phone, the deafening music stopped abruptly, and soon there was the sound of thin and hurried footsteps, which sounded a bit noisy.

About half a minute later, Lin Yuan picked up the phone and said out of breath, "Kaifan?"

"Ah."

"Why are you calling now? Is the road not going well?"

Zhong Kaifan said: "No," he paused, "My mother called just now and asked us to go over for dinner."

"..."

Sensing Lin Yuan's silence, Zhong Kaifan immediately said, "If you're busy, I'll go there by myself, it's okay."

Lin Yuan's voice sounded a little choked up, and he said after a while, "Thank you, Auntie, for me."

"Hey!" Zhong Kaifan felt extremely uncomfortable, tried his best to calm his emotions, and then asked, "Are you free?"

Lin Yuan said: "There will be rehearsals later, and the team knockout round will be in a few days. Time is tight." Although he also wants to go, but after so many days of rehearsals, the time is even tighter now. He wants to have more people who really love Young street dancers stay on the stage, such opportunities are rare for them.

"That's fine, I'll take you to see my mother again when I have a chance." Zhong Kaifan's voice was filled with a smile, as if he was comforting him, afraid that he would be sad.

This made Lin Yuan's heart burn. The society is strict with homosexuality, and many things are difficult to achieve in a fair and honest manner. Besides, he is an artist, and if he is not careful, he will be secretly photographed and become popular.

"En." Lin Yuan responded softly, and asked again: "Have you left the hotel yet?"

"not yet."

Lin Yuan's side suddenly became quiet, as if he was talking to someone, and after a while he continued, "I'll see you off."

"No need—" Zhong Kaifan's eyes were a little sore.

Lin Yuan smiled and said, "Please have a cup of coffee, my heart."

Zhong Kaifan said: "Don't drink, I will lose sleep at night after drinking." I miss you again when I have insomnia.

"There's a good coffee shop near here. It's relatively small, and few people come here. I'll send the address to your phone."

"……it is good."

After hanging up the phone, Zhong Kaifan quickly received the location location, not far from the place where the program was recorded, zoomed in on the map, walked directly on the sidewalk, and crossed two intersecting roads to find the coffee shop.

The weather is bright in May, and the light shines softly on the asphalt road. The road is straight and the traffic is busy.It was an ordinary street, but Zhong Kaifan seemed to have collected all the afterglow, and his heart was burning hot.

The traffic lights changed, and the indicator light was flashing. The walking little people walked along the zebra crossing, surrounded by strangers, but Zhong Kaifan felt a sense of stability.As long as Lin Yuan is around, he will not feel unfamiliar wherever he goes.Just like when the sun sets, it is never sad, because you know that tomorrow it will climb up from the horizon again, spying on the joy of the world.

After walking for about 10 minutes, Zhong Kaifan was stopped by the last traffic light. Looking over from a distance, he saw the coffee shop called 'Guidao', with fully transparent floor-to-ceiling windows, log-colored decoration style, and several coffee-making staff standing at the front desk. .At this time, there were not too many people in the store, and there were a few couples sitting sporadically in the lobby.

Return to the island——

Lin Yuan is the island of return in Zhong Kaifan's heart, a unique, dangerous and peaceful island.Once you are sheltered from the wind on the island, how can you be willing to leave the port easily.Even if the island has a bad temper sometimes, yelling and cursing at the movement of the earth's crust when the sea level rises, but it always makes people unable to hold him tighter.Later, in order to protect him, she simply turned into a tide, taking advantage of the gravitational pull of the sun and the moon, to be gentler to him alone during the ups and downs.

Taking a closer look, Lin Yuan was wearing a denim jacket, a peaked cap, and a black mask, and was sitting by the window waiting for him.

When the green light finally turned on, Zhong Kaifan stepped forward, and the thin figure got closer and closer to him.Through the glass window, he saw Lin Yuan had two cups of coffee next to his hands, perhaps because he was bored of waiting, he actually sat on the stool and spun around.

Zhong Kaifan stood only ten meters away from Lin, and suddenly felt his heart beating suddenly, and he couldn't move anymore.Over the years, he has always been thinking about one thing, what is love, and why he still can't let Lin Yuan go after being separated for so many years and going through so many things.

He thought of Lin Yuan's previous encounters; he remembered his online shopping ID; Eat all kinds of bubble gum; think of his arrogance on stage-that is the back kissed by God.

Lin Yuan is a person who is in the abyss and can still maintain his original intention and tenacity.

Fighting out step by step in a stubborn way, without shedding tears easily, the other side of the first tear is crying loudly, pouring out all the grievances, and completely submerging people like sea water.

Half flame, half ocean.

Even though the water was in dire straits, Zhong Kaifan felt that he had no choice but to stretch out his arms and catch him steadily.

Before Zhong Kaifan could withdraw his thoughts, he saw several people surrounded by Lin Yuan, who seemed to be recognized by passers-by.

Duan Qi beside her reminded: "There are people taking pictures around."

Zhong Kaifan suppressed his emotions, looked at his watch, and it was almost four o'clock, "Okay, just call a car and go." There was no trace of extra emotion in his voice.

The sun is westward, dyeing the city into a soft orange, and the sky is extremely gentle.

He wants Lin Yuan to keep his original intention, so he will be the one who forges ahead.

In fact, before entering the coffee shop, Zhong Kaifan was not in such a hurry to go in. He was worried that there would be sneak shots around him, so he deliberately slowed down.Now that I have seen him from afar, I have no regrets.

quickly,

The car reserved by Duan Qi has arrived, Zhong Kaifan sat back in the back seat, and heard Duan Qi answering the phone before closing the car door: "Okay, wait a minute, I'll pick it up."

After waiting for about half a minute, Duan Qi took back a kraft paper bag.

The car door closed dully, and the aroma of coffee wafted in the car.Sitting in the passenger cab, Duan Qi said while fastening her seat belt, "He deliberately insisted that if he is afraid of insomnia at night, he should drink less."

Zhong Kaifan closed his eyes gently, his face was calm, and there was a gentle colic in his heart.

The palm of the hand is a warm mug, and when the speed stops, the liquid shakes through the paper cup, warmly and lingeringly close to the palm.

Although they are all in the Jiangsu area, my mother lives a little far away from Kunshan. No wonder she called at three o'clock in the afternoon.Since Lin Yuan said that he could drink less, Zhong Kaifan still drank more than half of the coffee.

For some unknown reason, he was still sleepy after drinking coffee, perhaps because the central nervous system was afraid of his thoughts spreading.

Two hours later, the car arrived at the community where my mother lived. Because I came in a hurry, I only bought some gifts nearby.

After paying the bill, Duan Qi said: "You go up first, I won't go in." After all, this is Zhong Kaifan's private time.

Zhong Kaifan put the phone back into his pocket, and said in a tone that could not be rejected: "It's not an outsider, go in and eat." As he spoke, he tilted his head and nodded towards the door, his eyes were firm and calm.

Hearing what he said, Duan Qi's heart surged with enthusiasm, "Okay."

Duan Qi noticed that the paper bag was neatly folded by Zhong Kaifan and fell gently into the trash can.

The numbers in the elevator kept changing until Zhong Kaifan rang the doorbell, the door opened with a click, and there was a sound of jumping in the room. The next second, I saw a soft, cute and short figure jumping towards me like a spinning top, looking up. With a straight face, the voice is tender and crisp: "Uncle!"
