Tiandi Baiju

Zhou Luoyang had imagined the arrival of this day countless times, denied his intentions countless times, and said to himself countless times, "How could I fall in love with my roommate? This is really absurd."

But this day finally came, just like the countless reasons contained in the great river of time, finally roaring downstream and converging into the only result.It came so logically, not earth-shattering or magnificent at all.

It seems like a thousand words, but in the end there are only two sentences: "I like you." "I know, I like you too." It's so simple.

However, Zhou Luoyang knew in his heart that with Du Jing's condition, he was required to face up to and accept all of this, take the initiative to say "I like you", and wait until the day he dies, so he doesn't have to think about it.

Not only that, what Du Jing said also cast a tragic tone on their relationship - they both understood what Zhou Luoyang's answer meant.When Zhou Luoyang said this, he was not just talking.He clearly enjoys love and family, and it is easy for ordinary people to live a peaceful life.

But for Du Jing, it was very difficult, very difficult.What normal people can do is as difficult for him as climbing mountains and thorny forests.Just as running in the sun is something that every able-bodied person can easily do, but Leyao, who is physically disabled, will never be able to do it.The years are quiet and good, and Du Jing is also elusive when talking about a serious love.

On the first day of the new year, at two o'clock in the morning, Du Jing drove back to the hotel-style homestay. Both of them were too tired and decided not to watch the sunrise.But after stopping the car, the radio in the car was still playing. Teresa Teng’s song accompanied them from the moment of New Year’s Eve in Universal Studios until they came back. The radio starts playing.

The car was quiet for a while, everyone listened to the song, and didn't want to get out of the car. Another year has come. At this New Year's Eve, the people who accompany each other have a special meaning in the passage of time.

"This song really fits the occasion." Sitting in the car, Zhou Luoyang smiled with emotion.

Le Yao replied: "Japanese people like to listen to this song during New Year's Eve. What's the Chinese name?"

"I only care about you." Du Jing said.

Zhou Luoyang said: "Let time pass by in a hurry."

That is the translated song title of the Japanese version, which happens to be in the same sentence as the Chinese version of the song title.

"Are you serious?" Du Jing said.

"Yeah." Zhou Luoyang said, "What about you?"

Du Jing said, "Me too."

The song stopped, Zhou Luoyang looked at Du Jing, Du Jing's hand on the steering wheel seemed a little nervous, his wrist was shaking, he turned his head to look at Zhou Luoyang, and inadvertently, his eyes fell on Le Yao.

Du Jing blushed, as if the two brothers had seen through his inner thoughts.

"I'll get you out of the car." Du Jing changed his mind.

Zhou Luoyang suddenly found it very funny - at that moment just now, Du Jing must have wanted to kiss him, but considering that Le Yao was in the back seat, he was very embarrassed.

He carried the results of today's shopping and Le Yao's doll, and followed the two back to the hotel.Le Yao suddenly said: "I want to video with Aaron tonight, shall I sleep in the living room?"

"What... what?" Du Jing became even more nervous.

"No need—" Zhou Luoyang understood his younger brother's teasing, pushed Du Jing to take a bath, and said, "Don't be stupid."

At three o'clock in the night, Le Yao was videoing outside. Zhou Luoyang knelt on the ground and spread the quilt on the tatami. After Du Jing took a bath, he watched Zhou Luoyang.

"So we are together now." Zhou Luoyang put down the pillow and glanced at Du Jing.

"Look at you." Du Jing knelt down beside Zhou Luoyang, held his hand, and said, "If you were just impulsive, and you regret it when you recover, just pretend you didn't say that."

"How is it possible?" Zhou Luoyang felt that Du Jing was very serious today, which was very interesting, "Even if time goes back 24 hours, you and I will be in it, and what has been said is said."

Du Jing looked at Zhou Luoyang, and finally whispered, "Can I kiss you?"

"It's not like you haven't kissed before." Zhou Luoyang and his face were so close that they could breathe each other's breath, "It's been several times without consent."

"That's different." Du Jing put his hand on Zhou Luoyang's side face, and said with emotion.

"What's different?" Zhou Luoyang raised his eyebrows.

"You didn't close your eyes." Du Jing said again, "Close your eyes."

The two of them closed their eyes, and Du Jing kissed Zhou Luoyang gently on the lips. Zhou Luoyang suddenly felt strange, as if they had never kissed each other before, and tonight was their first kiss.Du Jing's kiss was very careful and restrained, he didn't even hug Luoyang around, he just held each other's hands, and his fingers were trembling imperceptibly with nervousness.

Zhou Luoyang took his hand and pressed it on his body, Du Jing immediately separated from him.

Zhou Luoyang blushed, did not speak, smiled, got up to fetch Le Yao's quilt, and put it on the ground.

Du Jing still knelt and sat, a little at a loss.

"How do you feel?" Zhou Luoyang asked him with his head turned.

"It's like a dream," Du Jing turned his head away, under the fluorescent light, his hair slightly covered the eyebrows and the scar, and said, "It's not real."

Zhou Luoyang smiled and said, "I asked you if you felt it?"

"Yes." Du Jing understood what Zhou Luoyang meant.

Zhou Luoyang said, "I have it too."

"Well," Du Jing glanced at the paper door, "I met it."

Zhou Luoyang didn't expect that when he kissed, he would actually have sexual impulses towards boys.

"A man's body can't lie," Zhou Luoyang said, "It's right when you touch it, so I really like you and I didn't lie to you."

"I know," Du Jing said, "I've known it since a long time ago."

Zhou Luoyang made the bed and said: "I want to be with you, as far as I can go, try to stick to it, wait until one day, when you feel that the disease can no longer be controlled, we will be more calm and do it together That thing."

Du Jing stopped talking and just knelt on the tatami, looking at Zhou Luoyang.

"Leyao!" Zhou Luoyang said towards the outside, "It's time to sleep! Let's say New Year greetings to our classmates tomorrow!"

Le Yao didn't use a wheelchair in the townhouse. Hearing the sound, he propped his hands on his elbows, still holding his mobile phone, and slowly climbed into the bedroom. Zhou Luoyang felt a little distressed, so he hugged him and put him on the bed .

"Understood." Le Yao reluctantly put down the headphones and said, "Happy New Year, see you later."

Zhou Luoyang thought of the time when he had a long-distance video call with Du Jing when he was in college, and he couldn't help but find it very interesting.

"You two have a good relationship," Zhou Luoyang covered his younger brother with a quilt, and said with a smile, "How long have you known each other?"

"Some people have only been together for a few months, but they seem to have known each other for a lifetime, isn't that true?" Le Yao glanced at his brother, locked the phone screen, and lay down under the covers.

"Happy New Year." Zhou Luoyang also lay down under the quilt. He will leave Japan tomorrow and return to China. He is a bit reluctant to part with this vacation, but their future still has a long way to go, and there are many possibilities.

Du Jing turned off the light and lay down under the quilt as well.

Zhou Luoyang put his hand under the quilt, and was about to reach out to poke Du Jing to tease him, but Du Jing thought exactly the same as him, so he happened to stretch out his hand too.

The backs of their hands touched inadvertently, and Zhou Luoyang laughed a lot. When he was about to withdraw his hand, Du Jing turned his palm over, grabbed him under the quilt, and refused to let him go.

Zhou Luoyang didn't speak and didn't dare to move, afraid of disturbing Le Yao, he let him hold his hand and fell asleep peacefully.

The next day, at Osaka Airport:

Zhou Luoyang observed Du Jing and said, "You haven't slept all night?"

"Sleep," Du Jing replied, "I fell asleep when it was almost dawn."

"Why are you insomnia again?" Zhou Luoyang poked him and said, "Hello."

"What do you think?" Du Jing looked at Zhou Luoyang from behind his sunglasses.

The two were going through the check-in procedures, Zhou Luoyang asked again: "Did Le Yao think that something would happen last night?"

"What do you want to happen?" After Du Jing's insomnia was cured by Zhou Luoyang, it recurred again. This is the so-called person who needs to tie the bell to untie it.

"Which of us do you think is the attacker and who is the victim?" Seeing that Du Jing was silent, Zhou Luoyang wanted to tease him, as if poking an animal that would attack people with a branch, which made him feel very controllable with a sense of accomplishment.

Du Jing lowered his head and looked at Zhou Luoyang, but said nothing.

"Have you thought about this question?" Zhou Luoyang said solemnly.

Zhou Luoyang once downloaded some kind of philosophical film by mistake, and he was shocked.

"No." Du Jing said seriously, "What do you think?"

Zhou Luoyang: "..."

Du Jing seemed to have returned to the state when they first met. The phrase "What do you think?" was all too familiar, and he threw the question to Zhou Luoyang again.

"Do you want to hear me tell the truth?" Zhou Luoyang started to play a prank, and was going to continue teasing him.

Du Jing: "Listen to your arrangement? You know more about this than me."

Zhou Luoyang's calculations were in vain. At first, he thought that Du Jing would argue with him in a serious manner, but he seemed to know that he only wanted to play tricks on him.

"I know you can't accept it." Zhou Luoyang had no choice but to stop teasing him and said.

"I can do anything," Du Jing finally took off his sunglasses, and said seriously to Zhou Luoyang, "As long as I'm with you, I'm willing to do anything. I think in this respect..."

Then, his handsome face turned red.

Du Jing looked around, as if he didn't want to be heard.

"...As long as two people like each other, even in that matter, they can compromise with each other." Du Jing said, "I don't think there is any need to care too much. I will be whatever you want me to be."

Hearing this, Zhou Luoyang was moved instead. He observed Du Jing's expression, but Du Jing quickly put on his sunglasses again, like a big boy who has been confessed, avoiding Zhou Luoyang's gaze all day long.

"Well, you can be the attacker for now," Zhou Luoyang said, "The probationary period is three months. If you don't do well, you won't be able to be an attacker."

"Okay," Du Jing said, "I will become a regular in three months. The assessment period is very reasonable. I will try my best to perform."

Deep down in Zhou Luoyang's heart, he actually missed the night when he was drunk a few years ago. Under the influence of alcohol, they all let go.

Especially since Du Jing is still a man, after breaking through the psychological defense line, the tacit feeling of taboo and anxiety deepened the excitement.

But after returning home, Du Jing didn't do anything out of the ordinary, after all Le Yao was still at home.He still slept with Zhou Luoyang, but he would hug him every night and kiss him a few times when he woke him up in the morning.Other than that, Zhou Luoyang didn't ask for more.

"Want that?"

At night, Du Jing hugged Zhou Luoyang and kissed him. It was snowing in Wan City in winter, but the room was very warm. They were only wearing T-shirts and underwear.

Zhou Luoyang felt it. They did have urges towards each other's bodies, but he was not ready yet. After all, knowing is knowing, and sex is sex. For so many years, except for the night of his sophomore year, he has never had sex with anyone experience.

"Use your hands?" Zhou Luoyang said in the dark, "Do you want to?"

Du Jing said, "You decide, after all, I'm still in the trial period."

Zhou Luoyang was immediately amused by Du Jing's words, let him go, and lay down laughing for a while.

They are already lovers, but he is not quite used to the transition from friend to lover for a while, and he knows that Du Jing must be the same.

"It's too embarrassing." Zhou Luoyang said.

"Come back." Du Jing hugged Zhou Luoyang again.

Zhou Luoyang said, "Leyao is next door."

Du Jing hummed, and said, "No need, he will go to school tomorrow."

The New Year's holiday ended soon. On the last day, Du Jing drove and took Le Yao back to school with Zhou Luoyang.

"See you next week, brothers." Le Yao smiled.

"See you next week." Du Jing waved to Leyao.

Zhou Luoyang said: "If you want to go home, come back and review."

Le Yao nodded, and Zhang Yalun pushed him back to the dormitory. Du Jing's expression seemed to be relieved.

"What?" Zhou Luoyang didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "My brother is at home, does it cause you a lot of psychological burden?"

Du Jing immediately clarified: "No."

He drove the car for a while and parked on the side of the road.

"Go home now?" Du Jing asked.

"I have to go to the store." Zhou Luoyang said, "Aren't you going back to the company for the handover?"

"I don't want to go," Du Jing said a little fidgety, "I want to go home."

"Then you go back first?" Zhou Luoyang said.

Du Jing glanced at Zhou Luoyang and didn't say anything. Zhou Luoyang immediately understood what he meant.

"Ah?" Zhou Luoyang's heart beat wildly. Le Yao came to school, and Du Jing wanted to go home and be with him.

Damn, Zhou Luoyang thought, what does he want to do?

"I asked you last night, but you didn't need it," Zhou Luoyang said.

"You said to use your hands last night." Du Jing replied seriously, "I mean try something else."

Zhou Luoyang: "..."

Zhou Luoyang put one hand on Du Jing's shoulder and sized him up. He didn't know how to evaluate Du Jing for a moment, but after a while he couldn't help but said, "Boss, why do I suddenly feel that you are a little dangerous? Don't forget that you are still in the probationary period."

Du Jing said: "But if you perform well, you can become a regular in advance, right? You don't have experience, but you don't want to try?"

This kind of attempt broke through people's psychological defenses so much that Zhou Luoyang couldn't help swallowing.

Du Jing was staring at him intently, guessing from Zhou Luoyang's expression, he raised his eyebrows questioningly.

Zhou Luoyang grabbed his tie, dragged him a little, and kissed his lips.

"Tonight." Zhou Luoyang thought for a while and said.

Du Jing received this promise, immediately blew his whistle in high spirits, started the car and set off on the road.

Zhou Luoyang could feel that Du Jing's condition had stabilized a lot recently, which might be a good thing.But during the period of passionate love, people are always happy, and no amount of pain can be blocked by this great happiness.

The most dangerous moment is getting used to the new relationship and going through the running-in period after the passionate love period.They will definitely quarrel endlessly over some trivial matters, which will cause Du Jing's condition to worsen.

But Zhou Luoyang didn't mention this. Now that he has decided, he is willing to face with Du Jing no matter how many tests in the future.

Du Jing parked the car outside Chang'an Clock & Antique Shop, Zhou Luoyang said, "See you tonight."

"I'll pick you up when I'm done." Du Jing rolled down the driver's window and said.

Zhou Luoyang quickly walked into the store, and Jiang Yupeng was live broadcasting the things in his store. He was fair, young and handsome, and just like his name, he created an online name "Little Feipeng with Jade Face".Xiao Wu gave him another idea, asking him to be an anchor in a gay live broadcast room.So Jiang Yupeng attracted a lot of fans, started to cash in traffic, and tried to sell goods. During the entire Christmas and New Year holidays, he really sold a lot of jade ornaments bought from the Sihui Jewelry Market.

"Thank you, are you cutting your fans' leeks again?" Zhou Luoyang said, "It seems that you are an Internet celebrity who was delayed by programming."

"It's not expensive at all, boss," Jiang Yupeng said, "Some people live broadcast Taobao to bring goods, some sell lipsticks live, and some sell agricultural products live. How can it be called cutting leeks when you love me?"

"Thank you for generating income for the store." Zhou Luoyang said with a smile, "You can take a vacation now. You have worked hard to look after the store these few days. Has anyone been here?"

"Brother Jing's assistant, the guy named Xiaoli came here once." Jiang Yupeng put away his phone and said, "The big stuff asks a lot. I asked them to add the store's official account, and I was trying to push it."

Zhou Luoyang opened a public account, intending to write some popular science about antiques, and sell his own goods by the way.

He handed over the accounts for the past few days to Jiang Yupeng, gave him three days off, and then sent him away.

Today, Zhou Luoyang prepared tools and decided to dismantle another piece of the Eye of Versailles to see what's inside, and try his best to repair it by the way.

If nothing else, the internal structure of the two watches should be the same. The only difference is that the key component that allows the time to go back 24 hours is missing.

After returning from Cambodia, Zhou Luoyang analyzed it many times, and also discussed with Du Jing about the operation of the Eye of Versailles.First of all, this is a watch, which has all the functions of a watch, no doubt about it.

Only the additional retrospective effect made him feel quite unbelievable. If there is such an extraterrestrial civilization device that can turn back time in the world, let's call it a time machine.So how did the craftsman who made this watch get a glimpse of its operating principle and combine the time machine with the clock and watch invented by human civilization?

If a mechanic wants to build a car that can fly, he must first be familiar with the structure and working principles of both airplanes and motor vehicles, which is the same reason.

But the existence of the time machine itself has gone far beyond the system of human scientific civilization. Can watchmakers really understand it?

Using tweezers and a special screwdriver, Zhou Luoyang carefully disassembled the steel case on the back of the watch. He held his breath and held his hands steady. A complex, exquisite and grand mechanical kingdom unfolded in front of his eyes.

The only difference is that this mechanical kingdom like a vast universe has lost its life many years ago.

"In this line of work, your hands must be very steady." A voice said beside him.

Zhou Luoyang knew that there was a guest, but he didn't hear the bell on the door.

"Yes," Zhou Luoyang replied, "Actually, I shouldn't smoke. People who have the habit of smoking tend to shake their hands."

Zhou Luoyang picked up the phone, turned on the light that came with the phone, and illuminated the internal structure of the mechanical watch. At the same time, he slid open WeChat, and typed a line of text to Du Jing with one hand to inform him.

For a watchmaker, a steady hand is an entry-level requirement.

"Why don't you choose another industry?" the voice said again.

Zhou Luoyang replied: "Don't you think that a mechanical watch is like a vast universe?"

The voice said: "It's really beautiful."

"My grandfather said that in this world, there are two things that can make the abstract concept of time manifest. One of them is clocks and watches. They are tightly linked to the dimension of time, and time has since been separated from abstraction and turned into concreteness."

The voice said, "What about the other one?"

"Light." Zhou Luoyang replied, "Well...it seems that the transmission wheel of the watch string is stuck."

Zhou Luoyang turned the watch string with tweezers, and tried to wind it again. The threads turned round and round, pushing the brake gear, and the watch string bowed slowly.

"This watch was dropped once," Zhou Luoyang said, "Many parts are loose."

He adjusted the parts, and for half an hour, the visitor didn't talk to him again, until Zhou Luoyang closed the back cover again, loosened the string, fully wound it, loosened it again, and finally fully wound it.

Svatanlovski's other Eye of Versatile began to turn slowly again.

"What time is it?" Zhou Luoyang raised his head and asked.

Su Pu knelt on the tea table, opposite Zhou Luoyang, and said, "It will be twelve noon soon."

He raised his hand and showed Zhou Luoyang his watch.

Zhou Luoyang checked the time, put it aside, and said seriously: "So what do you want to do with your lingering spirit, following all the way from Hong Kong to Wanshi? Now there is no one else here, so you can say whatever you want. "

Su Pu looked at Zhou Luoyang and said, "You know I have no ill intentions towards you."

Zhou Luoyang raised his eyebrows and said, "I also know that you are Du Jing's former colleague, if something happens to me today, I think you and the mastermind behind you, no matter who they are, will be punished by Du Jing. "

"No," Su Pu said, "no, Mr. Zhou, there is no main messenger. Really not. The reason why I pursued this matter is all my own will. As for why, that is another story. If you are watching If you are still willing to listen after finishing what I will show, I can tell you everything exactly."

Zhou Luoyang didn't answer. He narrowed his eyes and watched Su Pu take out an Apple laptop from his bag.

Su Pu was about to open the computer cover, glanced at Zhou Luoyang, and said, "Do you know what I want to show you?"

"I don't know." Zhou Luoyang replied bluntly.

"You know," Su Pu said, "you must know."

Zhou Luoyang was about to deny it, but Su Pu suddenly said, "Otherwise, you wouldn't be so calm, tell Vincent to come over, and then try to hold me back."

Zhou Luoyang said: "Since you are an agent, with your ability, you probably already knew it."

Su Pu said: "You are unreasonably calm, you have not been trained by us."

Zhou Luoyang became a little impatient, and said, "What exactly are you going to show me?"

Su Pu said: "The only explanation is that you once met me in another time and space and learned everything about it."

Zhou Luoyang: "!!!"

Zhou Luoyang's expression changed instantly, and he wanted to get up subconsciously, but Su Pu said, "Sit down! Zhou Luoyang! Now that I know, I can't do anything to you!"

Zhou Luoyang: "........."

At that moment, Zhou Luoyang instinctively felt fear—the fear and guilt of having his secret broken by others.How did Su Pu know? !

"You too..." Zhou Luoyang said in disbelief, "No, it's impossible...another time and space?"

Zhou Luoyang forcibly calmed down, and suddenly thought of a key question. Maybe Su Pu didn't know the truth about time going back, nor did he know about the Eye of Versailles. At least he didn't look at the watch on his workbench when he came here. glance.

"What are you kidding?" Zhou Luoyang said.

Su Pu said: "I have all the clues about your travel through time. You are a time traveler. But this is not what we are going to discuss now. Let's watch the video first. After watching it, you must understand. I can believe it." of."

Zhou Luoyang's hands were sweaty, and he glanced at the phone on the side.

Su Pu turned on the video, turned the computer around, and placed it in front of Zhou Luoyang.

"This is Haneda Airport two years ago," Su Pu said. "Can you recognize who is in front of the camera?"

Zhou Luoyang: "..."
