sun and wildflowers

At [-]:[-] in the morning, the sun is not too warm.

Chen Mai got up early, and at the moment she was sitting cross-legged on the tatami next to the pool table and scrolling through Weibo, her fingers covered in red nail polish quickly flipped through it for a long time, but she couldn't find the news she was interested in.

"Girl, did the driver call you?"

The person who spoke was the owner of the youth hostel, a young man who was only 24 years old. Chen Mai only saw him last night when he was about to go to bed. He called all the girls living in the store "girls."

At first glance, it sounds quite pleasing.

Chen Mai replied with a smile: "I called just now and told us to go downstairs on time at eight o'clock."

The boss nodded and said, "That's fine. Be careful when you go to Qinghai Lake. There is a section of the road where the altitude is quite high. If you feel unwell, tell the driver."

"Got it, thank you."

The boss looked at Chen Mai, and raised the noodle bowl in his hand to signal him to eat.

Chen Mai put down his phone and stretched his waist, still a little sleepy, chatting with that foreign guy too late last night...

"wheat."

Chen Mai turned his head in response.

Jiang Ming walked towards her in sportswear, with a backpack on his back, Lu Kun followed behind him, the tall man swayed from side to side, not as straight as Jiang Ming.

It's nothing if you think about it carefully, after all, Jiang Ming graduated from the police academy, so it must be different after formal training.

Chen Mai patted the seat next to him and said, "Come and sit for a while, just go downstairs at eight o'clock, and buy some snacks downstairs to eat on the way."

Jiang Ming sat down, took off his backpack and put it aside.

Chen Mai saw Lu Kun standing next to Jiang Ming like a wooden man, and beckoned him, "What are you doing there? Come and sit down."

"Just get up, let's stand for a while." The voice was lazy, with the tiredness of the morning.

Chen Mai pouted, not understanding the inevitable connection between "just got up" and "stand for a while"...

"We're going to Qinghai Lake today. On the way, we passed Kumbum Monastery and Heima River. I heard from the boss that there is still a section at a very high altitude."

Chen Mai took the tour guide for a second and reported the itinerary.

"How tall?"

The two asked questions in unison, and looked at each other after speaking.

Chen Mai found it funny inexplicably, "I don't know either, by the way, we're going to spend the night there tonight, have you brought anything to wash?"

Jiang Ming: "I brought it."

Chen Mai looked at Lu Kun again, "Where is Brother Kun?"

"......No"

"I forgot to say, I have already vacated the room here, you two bring your luggage here and store it for a while, and come back to pick it up when you come back after playing."

Jiang Ming got up to get it, but Lu Kun suddenly pressed his shoulder, "I'll go, you wait."

After speaking, he turned and left.

Looking at Lu Kun's back, Chen Mai asked meaningfully, "Did you sleep well last night?"

Jiang Ming's tone was as usual, "Very good."

Chen Mai looked at him, the expression in his eyes became more complicated every second.

Jiang Ming felt a little guilty when she saw her, but he still pretended to be calm and asked her, "What's wrong?"

Chen Mai leaned over to him, hey!I will give you Lu Kun. "

Jiang Ming stood up abruptly, and said angrily, "You're sick! What's the wind in the morning?!"

"Cut! Jiang Ming, we have known each other for so many years and we don't understand anyone. Do you think Lu Kun's eyes are normal?"

"Is it abnormal?"

"Is it normal?!"

"...", Jiang Ming was about to refute something when he heard the phone ring.

Chen Mai picked up the phone and hung up after saying a few words. She got off the tatami, put on her shoes, walked to Jiang Ming, slapped him on the back, and said, "You can talk to Jiang Ming after you think it over. I was stubborn, but the driver said he was here, let's go."

After finishing speaking, she went downstairs on her own, leaving Jiang Ming in a daze, thinking about what Chen Mai said.

......

In the grocery store downstairs of the hostel, an old couple stood at the counter, one of them was packing things into plastic bags, and the other was carefully calculating the price with a calculator.

"Get some bags of yogurt."

Chen Mai took three or four bags of yogurt from Xining in various flavors.

The aunt took a look at the bags of yogurt, then picked out a bag and was about to walk out of the counter, saying: "This bag is swollen, I will change it for you."

Chen Mai quickly waved his hand and said, "Auntie, let me come."

While talking, Jiang Ming passed a new bag from behind her.

"43 in total."

Chief Financial Officer Chen Mai opened the zipper of his wallet, took out a fifty-fifty card, and then smiled and said to the uncle who settled the accounts: "You don't need to look for it."

"Eh? Girl, no, I have to find you."

Chen Mai waved his hands with a smile, and pulled Jiang Ming and Lu Kun out in a hurry, even though the uncle yelled several times, he didn't stop.

After leaving the store, Lu Kun laughed at her, "Wheat is so generous."

Chen Mai threw the plastic bag in his hand to him, raised his head and said disdainfully: "What is generous, and there are not many dollars."

At this moment, Jiang Ming saw a brown commercial vehicle parked across the road, he pointed to it and asked Chen Mai, "Is that the one?"

Chen Mai squinted his eyes at the license plate number and said, "Yes, that's it."

After the three people walked over, a man got out of the car. Looking at him in his 40s, he smiled at Jiang Ming and his party, then opened the car door and said, "Get in the car."

Chen Mai sat in the co-pilot, Jiang Ming sat in the second row, and Lu Kun... also sat in the second row.

As soon as the car started, Jiang Ming glanced sideways at Lu Kun and asked, "You can sit in the back, it's spacious."

Lu Kun leaned back, leaned on the back of the chair, and said, "It's convenient to sit here."

Convenience... convenient for what?

Jiang Ming took a look in front of her, and met Chen Mai's eyes. The corners of her mouth were upturned, and she smiled strangely. She turned her head away after a moment.

Lu Kun calmly rubbed against Jiang Ming again.

"Master, please turn on the air conditioner."

Jiang Ming tugged at his collar, suddenly feeling stuffy in the car.

The driver directly rolled down the window and said, "In Xining, the air conditioner is almost never turned on. You will know when the car starts."

The three of them looked over together, the big brother's accent...

Chen Mai first asked, "Master, are you Tibetan?"

"Yes, I am Tibetan."

Chen Mai jumped up excitedly and said, "That's great, this is the first time I've seen a Tibetan."

The driver was embarrassed by what she said, and his face was full of shyness.

The car slowly drove out of the urban area, and the green hills in the distance gradually became clear, but unfortunately there was nothing to see on the hills, not a single tree, and the grass was scarce.

At the beginning, Chen Mai talked about the mountains with his Tibetan elder brother, and then he couldn't hold on and fell asleep, and the rest of the two were more energetic than the other, and their eyes were wide open.

Jiang Ming chatted and started to play with his mobile phone, clicking here and there, not concentrating.

And the person next to him seemed to be very quiet all the way, Jiang Ming maintained the posture of holding the mobile phone, squinting at the past, and slowly opened his eyes.

Lu Kun bowed his body, as if admiring the scenery ahead.

"Look at me for what?"

His voice was still cold, which made Jiang Ming's heart tremble. Just now... did he underestimate the range of "afterglow".

At this time, the car passed a turn, and the Tibetan elder brother didn't slow down much, and turned directly. Lu Kun was shaken so that his body was tilted, and one hand was behind Jiang Ming. He needed to put all his strength on his left arm so as not to touch the side. That person, but even so, they were too close.

Jiang Ming's side face was caught by Lu Kun's eyes, and the scene that suddenly flashed made him inexplicably fond of it...

"Go over there." Jiang Ming said and pushed Lu Kun, the car was already going straight, but he still maintained the posture that was overwhelmed by inertia when he turned the corner just now.

After being pushed by Jiang Ming, Lu Kun sat back in a sensible way, but what he said in the next second made Jiang Ming want to jump off the car!

"It's the third time." Lu Kun put his head in his hands and leaned back, saying, "Why are you blushing?"

His voice was very low, and the Tibetan elder brother driving in front couldn't hear him, but Jiang Ming could hear him very clearly... He didn't respond, and he didn't know how to respond. At this moment, if he tried to defend himself, it would only increase his doubts. Turning his head to look out of the car window, his heart jumped out of his throat.

The third time... If I didn't remember it deliberately, how could it be so clear.

Just when Jiang Ming's restless mood had just shown signs of calming down, he took another's hand in his hand, and then gently held it.

Jiang Ming clenched his teeth and pulled back, the hand suddenly increased in strength, and it hurt him a lot.

"Just a moment."

Lu Kun crossed his fingers in, then turned his head to one side, not looking at Jiang Ming.

Delicate and dry, the palm is rough and wide, and the fingers are a knot longer than him.

This is all Jiang Ming can perceive.

From Lu Kun.

The two of them stopped moving, and their clenched hands were hidden under the loose trouser legs, like an unknown secret, trying to fool others and themselves.

Or, it doesn't matter anymore.

"We're at Kumbum Monastery ahead, do you want to take a look?"

The quiet atmosphere was broken by the thick voice of the Tibetan elder brother, and Chen Mai stretched long after being woken up.

Jiang Ming quickly withdrew his hand, startling Lu Kun, obviously he was not prepared.

"Let's get out of the car and have a look. This place is quite famous."

The car door opened, the driver and Chen Mai got out of the car first, Jiang Ming got up to follow, but Lu Kun grabbed the hem of his clothes, unable to move forward or back.

When Jiang Ming opened his mouth and was about to curse, Lu Kun let go again.

Why are you so aware of the times all of a sudden?

"Hands are so fucking soft!"

Lu Kun looked at Jiang Ming with a smile, his slender eyes overflowed with love, endless.

......

Kumbum Temple is very close to Xining. It is a 5A-level scenic spot in Huangzhong County. The "butter flowers, murals and pile embroidery" in the temple are known as the three masterpieces of Kumbum Temple art.

As soon as Jiang Ming and the three of them walked to the entrance of the scenic spot, they could feel the heat of the crowd here.

"You two wait, I'll buy a ticket."

Chen Mai ran to the ticket center bouncing around, always full of energy like a little girl.

Jiang Ming didn't want to stand there stupidly like Lu Kun, so he turned around and went to the canteen behind him to buy water.

"Buy yak yogurt?"

An aunt in Tibetan attire walked up to Jiang Ming, holding a yogurt box in her hand.

Jiang Ming looked around and asked, "How do you sell this?"

"Five yuan a bowl."

Auntie pointed at Jiang Ming with some rough and dark five fingers.

Do you want to buy it?Jiang Ming hesitated, clutching a handful of change in his pocket.

"Jiang Ming, come here!"

It was Lu Kun's voice, Jiang Ming waved to the yogurt aunt and said, "Thank you, I don't want it anymore."

After Jiang Ming finished speaking, he walked back to Lu Kun's side, his eyes drifted away, and asked him, "What's wrong?"

"Don't buy things blindly."

"......I don't."

Lu Kun laughed and said, "You bought it if I didn't call you just now."

Jiang Ming looked up, "..."

Lu Kun took a step forward, when a gust of wind blew up, rolled up the incense ash in the White Pagoda, and wafted a light sandalwood fragrance.

The sound of the wind roared past, as if devout believers in a distant country were silently reciting the Heart Sutra.

For a moment, Jiang Ming felt that maybe Lu Kun really remembered something.
