together for a moment

After Zhao Yimu sang, he was still very excited. He just sang with all his strength, and now he was not breathing well, and his heart was beating wildly. He looked at Nick from the stage, and at the same time Lian Jueliang, who was standing behind with livid face and angry eyes, felt indescribably refreshed, but on the other hand, he felt that he was quite naive, but tonight he just wanted to be naive and self-willed. The brother who moved his feet was furious.

"Du Xiaopian, this song is for you." He lowered his voice, using the tone of his heart, sounding affectionate, "Whether the road ahead is full of thorns or a mountain of swords and seas of fire, I will accompany you through it .”

As soon as the words were finished, there were ear-splitting applause and screams from the audience, and he jumped off the stage amidst the noise. Several guests clapped their hands and applauded him, and finally walked in front of Nick with flushed cheeks.

"How is my singing?" I didn't feel much when I was making noise on the stage just now, but now that I really stood in front of Nick, Zhao Yimu felt a little shy and tried to talk about him from left to right.

"Singing is really good, there is no loss of sound or broken sound, and the emotion is rich and full. Is it a credit to the red wine?" Nick's cheeks have not faded, and he is pretending to be calm with his arms folded, commenting on him like a teacher judging a singing show. "I'll give it ninety points, please continue to work hard."

Zhao Yimu pleaded pitifully: "Mr. Nick, this is already a super-level performance, can't I give it full marks?"

"There's nothing wrong with the singing part," Nick shook his head pretending to be serious and sighed, "but this dress is not for singing rock and roll, it's more like singing a classic old song."

Zhao Yimu couldn't go on acting and laughed, Nick took a look at him and laughed too.

The two laughed like idiots for a long time before they stopped. Zhao Yimu wiped away the tears from the corners of his eyes, and asked softly, "I, the suitor, pretend to be

How is the acting? "

"You really know how to act, I was almost moved." Nick was still laughing intermittently, and whispered: "Hey, you have used this trick to catch girls, right?"

"Really, I stand on the stage and sing for people," Zhao Yimu looked at Nick and smiled, and said slowly and clearly, "You are the first."

"How is it possible..." The ambiguous atmosphere was caught off guard, and Nick looked away in embarrassment, grabbing a sentence from his mind and saying: "The last time you recited me, you said you were the first..."

"That's true, the first time carrying people on the back, the first time jumping on stage to sing to others, the first time holding hands with the same sex, and the first time measuring weight on the side of the road..." Zhao Yimu tilted his head and thought for a while, " So, since I met you, I seem to have done a lot of stupid things."

"Hey, can you talk? You're a great barrister..." Nick scolded him with a smile.

"It's stupid, but it's really happy." Zhao Yimu was laughing at first, but then he felt a little sad after laughing, "It turns out that happiness is so simple, but I always go in the wrong direction."

"Um... are you in a bad mood?" Nick said, "You're acting weird today. Although you're smiling, I don't think you're happy."

"Is it so obvious?" Zhao Yimu asked.

"I don't know, I just feel it." Nick rolled his eyes, said "ah", and clenched his fist with his right hand in the palm of his left hand, "Otherwise, I'll take you to a place where you will feel better."

"Now?" Zhao Yimu was stunned.

"Now, otherwise today will be spent with an unhappy mood," Nick asked with a smile in his eyes, "Would you like to go? Do something stupid again?"

"Go!" Zhao Yimu readily agreed.

Zhao Yimu drank and replaced Nick with the car. The car drove around in the mountains, and Nick seemed to be familiar with this area.

"Are you familiar with this place?" Zhao Yimu didn't come to this area often, and he didn't know where he was.

"What? Afraid of being betrayed by me?" Nick raised his eyebrows and smiled.

"I'm not afraid, I'm not afraid to go anywhere with you." In fact, Zhao Yimu was very at ease.

From the chance meeting outside the airport, he believed in this person, and then went on a journey together by accident. The process may not be smooth, but as long as he has Nick by his side, he feels at ease.

"It's here!" Nick pulled the handbrake and opened the car door, "Ah, it's been a long time."

"This is... Mushan Pond?" Zhao Yimu finally figured out where he was when he got off the car and saw the road signs.

T City is a basin surrounded by hills and hills. Among them, Mushan is rich in flora and fauna and has diverse forest types. There are rhododendrons in spring, butterflies in summer, and snow in autumn in winter. The four seasons have different winds. popular attractions.

Mushan Lake is the largest lake on Mushan Mountain. It reflects the blue sky and white clouds like a mirror on a sunny day. When the mist is light, it shows the beauty of poetry and spirituality. The management bureau has designed several trails around the lake. It is overcrowded with tourists on weekends. It is also a popular spot for wedding photos. Attractions, Zhao Yimu has of course been here several times, but who would come here at night?

"Will you feel better coming here?" Zhao Yimu took a deep breath, letting the fragrance of trees and forests enter his lungs.

"Did you know? In fact, nature has a healing effect." Nick walked on the trail, turned on the flashlight function of his phone to illuminate the road ahead, "Come with me, I will take you to a place."

The light source of the flashlight can only illuminate the path two or three meters ahead. The air smells of earth, flowers and grass, and the wind blows through Nick, bringing the scent of chamomile. He doesn't know where to go and doesn't want to ask. Anyway, he can be with Nick Just be together.

I think I like him.

Amidst the calls of bullfrogs and insects, Zhao Yimu realized the true feelings in his heart. This is not the first time. When he was in India and after returning to China and meeting again, he thought so for many, many moments together. I like this person, I like him. He is handsome and handsome, I like his open-minded personality, his stupidity and persistence, and his enthusiasm for life.

But at the same time, he also perceives danger, and this is not a love he can bear.

What if they never saw each other as soon as they parted in India?Then he will keep this love in his heart forever, like a framed photo, leaving his smile and memories in the best place.

"It's more difficult to walk here. Be careful." Nick climbed up a path on the right. The path is very narrow and the entrance is blocked by weeds.

"Where will it lead?" Zhao Yimu carefully looked at the road under his feet.

"My favorite place in the city." Nick said excitedly.

"Deng Deng!" After walking for almost half an hour, Nick shouted after climbing a steep slope: "Nick's secret garden!"

Zhao Yimu walked up the last section of the slope panting, and the scenery in front of him was enough to make his mind stagnate.

They stood on a not-so-broad ridge. On the other side of the mountain was a vast low grass slope. There was also a lake on the grass slope. It was not as big and flat as Mushan Pond, but lying on the grassland was like a teardrop, crystal clear. , reflecting the starry sky and the moon on the lake.

If you look farther away, at the foot of the hill at the end of the grassy slope is every household in this city. Millions of people gather into a sea of ​​lights, building a home in this basin surrounded by hills and surrounded by mountains and rivers.

"How did you find this place?" Zhao Yimu was very curious.

"My dad brought me here one day before I graduated from high school and was about to go abroad." Nick looked at the distant night scene, "It was the first time I left home to go to such a far place. I was more afraid than excited. Every day I was so anxious that I almost wanted to stay in China, in fact, I also proposed to my father the idea of ​​staying in China to go to university.”

"He doesn't agree?" Zhao Yimu asked.

"No, my parents are special. They don't want to influence my decision," Nick said. A vigorous love story between him and my mother."

"..." Zhao Yimu paused and asked, "What does this have to do with your going abroad?"

"I didn't know at the time, I could only listen quietly to how he eloped with my mother to this city." Nick said with a smile.

"Wow, your dad is the romantic hero of the Qiong Yao drama?" Zhao Yimu smiled.

"It's quite Qiong Yao." Nick also smiled, "My mother is the daughter of a large cloth merchant in the northern city. She has a lot of money and has no worries about food and clothing. When she was 15 years old, the family booked a marriage partner for her. My father was just a girl at the time. I don’t know why my mother is willing to run away with an illiterate little apprentice who works in a textile factory.”

"Because your mother doesn't want to be a puppet." The smile on Zhao Yimu's face faded, as if feeling something.

"Maybe, they ran thousands of miles to come here," Nick said, "My dad said that the lake was not well-known at the time and there were no trails. He climbed up this slope with my mother at sunset. The wetlands in the south The warm air brushed their faces with the scent of flowers, and the tired birds flicked through the afterglow. They decided to nest here before dark, and became a light at the foot of the mountain."

"Your parents are really brave." Zhao Yimu concluded.

"They're quite proud of that," Nick nodded and said with a smile, "My dad said that day that there is nothing good to pass on to me, only courage, the courage to pursue the life you want."

"Did your father tell you that even if you have the courage to pursue it, you may have to pay a considerable price?" Even if he knows the emotions in his heart, can he use the name of pursuing the life he wants to let the people around him Are people hurt?

"There must be a price, so my dad said don't give up the pursuit when you can, but don't be obsessed when it's time to let go." Nick chose a big rock and sat down: "It's quite philosophical, isn't it?"

"Yes," Zhao Yimu also sat on the big rock beside him, suddenly remembered something, and asked, "Have you let go of the relationship with your brother?"

"I've let it go," Nick said with a relieved smile, "I've tried everything I could to be with him at that time, but from the moment he chose to follow his family's instructions, I knew to keep going." It will only change the tone of this relationship, but it is a pity that he can't let it go, he wants to achieve his family's expectations to get married and have children and wants to be with me, and in the end everyone is unhappy."

"After my affectionate performance tonight, he will probably give up." Zhao Yimu felt happy again thinking of Lian Jueliang's expression.

"The way you sang today is really handsome." Nick said with a smile, "It's worth me giving you this secret base as a thank you gift."

"Is this the first time you've brought someone to this secret base?" Zhao Yimu sat next to Nick, and Nick's body temperature came through his shirt, hot into his heart.

"Yes, you're the first." Nick narrowed his eyes and smiled, "I hope you're happy."

Zhao Yimu was stunned,

No one ever said to him, I hope you are happy,

Usually what he hears is: "I believe you can do better", "I hope you can achieve your goals", or "Don't let me down"

For the first time, someone cared whether he was happy or not.

He was probably too happy, so his eyes were red.

Nick didn't wait for him to respond, and became flustered: "Hey, you can talk about something, don't be bored."

"It's okay," Zhao Yimu wiped the corners of his eyes with his thumb, and replied with a smile, "The story of your parents is very good, and this secret garden is also very good. I figured out some things."

"For example?" Nick asked him.

"Some things can be wronged, so that everyone can be happy," Zhao Yimu said, "but some things can't be done."

For example, marriage, such as love, such as what kind of person to become.

"Although I don't know why you are troubled, but fortunately bringing you here is helpful," Nick judged that the task was completed, stood up and patted his buttocks and legs, "Okay, let's go, we have talked for so long without realizing it. "

Zhao Yimu stood up and hugged Nick tightly, and in front of him were the lights of thousands of families in the city below the mountain.

"Nick, do you believe me?" Zhao Yimu whispered in his ear.

Although I can't promise anything now, please believe me, I will face my heart well, I will do my best to deal with the things in front of me, and become a person who is qualified to pursue you.

"I believe." Nick gently put his arms around him, as if he understood everything, "I believe in you."

Zhao Yimu tightened his arms, and conveyed the affection that could not be expressed through hugging.

"Promise me, you will be the first to think of me no matter what difficulties you encounter, you are not alone." Zhao Yimu felt sorry for this young man who carried the heavy burden with his thin body, "We must persevere."

"I have to hold on," Nick patted Zhao Yimu's back and said, "I also want to find someone to love and build a home at the foot of the mountain."
