Treating Parents Like First Love

At the end of June, Lin Ran sent away another group of third-year junior high school graduates, ushering in a long vacation of more than ten days.Zhou Jingyuan asked for leave and took Lin Ran to Paris, France.

This is Lin Ran's first time abroad.

When Zhou Jingyuan and Lin Ran said they would take him to Paris, Lin Ran still wanted to refuse. Firstly, he felt that it would be too expensive for Zhou Jingyuan, and secondly, there were only two people going on a trip, which was a bit like a date, which made Lin Ran a little unbearable.But Zhou Jingyuan persisted, and Lin Ran could only compromise.

When Lin Ran got off the plane and stepped on the land of Paris, a burst of excitement surged in his heart.Paris, a place full of romance, was presented in front of his eyes like this.This is another city, a city completely different from City X. The customs here are completely unfamiliar to Lin Ran, and even more novel.

Zhou Jingyuan patted Lin Ran's hair from behind and said, "Why are you in a daze?"

Lin Ran was stunned for a moment, and wanted to rub his painful head, but he touched Zhou Jingyuan's hand that hadn't withdrawn.Lin Ran was stunned again, and quickly withdrew his hand, but Zhou Jingyuan grabbed it even faster.

"What are you shrinking?"

Zhou Jingyuan smiled and led Lin Ran out of the airport.

Lin Ran was still a little dazed, staring blankly at the two hands clasped, his heart beating non-stop.

The hotel is set on the other side of the Louvre, a very small hotel.Standing in front of the huge floor-to-ceiling windows in the room, you can see the entire Louvre and the Seine.It was already evening, and the entire Louvre and the Seine River were bathed in the warm sunset, shimmering, as if emitting countless golden lights, as if hundreds of years of history were flowing slowly.

Lin Ran stared blankly, not even realizing that Zhou Jingyuan had posted it.

Zhou Jingyuan posted it from behind, wrapped Lin Ran in his arms, and asked next to his ear, "What are you looking at, so preoccupied?"

Only then did Lin Ran come to his senses, but he had already lost the chance to break free, so he could only let Zhou Jingyuan hold him.Zhou Jingyuan's body was very clean, without the smell of perfume that men would wear, just a unique masculine scent.Lin Ran suddenly remembered that the day after his birthday, he woke up in Zhou Jingyuan's arms.Thinking of this, Lin Ran became a little excited, struggling to leave Zhou Jingyuan's arms, but was hugged even tighter.

"Xiao Ran, don't move, don't run away from me." Zhou Jingyuan said in a low voice.

Lin Ran seemed to have been shocked and stopped moving.

After being silent for a while, Lin Ran hesitated and said, "Brother Yuan, is it strange that two men are hugging each other?" Lin Ran was still not sure what Zhou Jingyuan was thinking, and couldn't figure out the reason for his behavior, so he asked cautiously.

Zhou Jingyuan retracted his arms and hugged Lin Ran even tighter. "Xiaoran, let's go to the Louvre tomorrow. There are many precious things there."

Lin Ran's eyes darkened, and he nodded.Zhou Jingyuan didn't answer, so what does that mean?

The next day, the two stayed in the Louvre for a day. Even so, the two took a cursory look.The two of them didn't say anything during the whole process, just immersed in the overflowing artistic atmosphere.Even Lin Ran, who has no artistic roots, is deeply impressed by these handed down works.

After coming out of the Louvre, Lin Ran still couldn't calm down.

The world's civilization has developed so far, how many disasters and wars it has experienced, and how many joys and victories it has experienced.In the face of this huge history, individuals are small and short-lived.How long can a person really enjoy this life?When I was a child, I was ignorant of the unknown, and when I was old, I already knew the destiny, and the present moment should be cherished and enjoyed.

Thinking of this, Lin Ran suddenly became clear.

Yes, it is to seize the moment!The present is the most important thing. The past has passed and the future is still to come, so why cling to it and refuse to let go?

Lin Ran figured it out, looked up at Zhou Jingyuan, wanted to say something to him, and saw Zhou Jingyuan looking up at the Louvre.At this time, it was already the beginning of the lights, and the lights of the Louvre reflected on Zhou Jingyuan's face, as if he had been coated with golden light.Lin Ran thought that when he came back early on Christmas Eve and opened the door, he seemed to see such a scene.At that time, he didn't understand what the feeling that suddenly came to his heart was, but now he understood, it was "like".It's not the love for a friend, but the love that wants to spend a lifetime with him.

Lin Ran suddenly couldn't restrain his inner feelings, and took Zhou Jingyuan's hand, "Brother Yuan...I..."

Zhou Jingyuan turned his head to look at Lin Ran, there seemed to be light in his eyes.

"I…"

"Xiao Ran, what do you want to say?" Zhou Jingyuan raised his hand to stroke Lin Ran's hair with a gentle voice.

"I...I want to say let's swim the Seine."

Lin Ran still retreated, he was afraid, afraid that if he spoke out, there would be no turning back.Although Lin Ran is impulsive, he is also hesitant.Sometimes Lin Ran also hated himself for being like this, and wanted to jump on it desperately, even if it was a moth jumping into the flame, he would have no regrets.But until now, he was still hesitant, unable to bury this step.

Zhou Jingyuan seemed a little disappointed. He rubbed Lin Ran's hair and nodded.

During this river cruise, the atmosphere between the two was a bit strange.Although the surrounding scenery was beautiful, Lin Ran didn't care to appreciate it. He was always thinking about what happened just now, what would happen if he said it, and Zhou Jingyuan's attitude towards him.

He felt that Zhou Jingyuan liked him, otherwise he wouldn't take care of him in every possible way, let alone take him out on a trip.But he is also afraid, afraid that all this is his own sentimentality.A person's biggest illusion is always thinking that the person you like also likes you.Lin Ran was afraid that he would make such a mistake.So he dared not speak, nor did he dare to ask.It can only be dragged like this.

But Lin Ran felt that he couldn't afford it anymore.

When he first understood his feelings, he was busy with work, and he didn't have much real contact with Zhou Jingyuan, so he just felt a little awkward, and didn't have too many strange feelings.Now that they have loosened up, the two travel together again, seeing each other every day and every night, the feelings in their hearts are like water in a glass, which is about to overflow when it is full.Lin Ran was afraid that he would not be able to bear it anytime soon, so he would be exposed.But Lin Ran thought again, it's good to be exposed, so there's no need to be trembling anymore.But let Lin Ran speak out on his own initiative, he couldn't do it.

When he was struggling, he heard Zhou Jingyuan say from the side: "Xiao Ran, what are you struggling with alone?"

"I'm struggling with whether I should confess my love to you." Just after finishing speaking, Lin Ran realized what he had said, and hurriedly raised his head to look at Zhou Jingyuan, "That...I...Brother Yuan...I..."

"Huh? What did you just say? I didn't catch it."

Lin Ran breathed a sigh of relief, he didn't hear clearly, it's fine if he didn't hear clearly.But in an instant, he felt a little lost, he didn't hear clearly...

"What are you struggling with?" Zhou Jingyuan asked again.

"Confused about where to go tomorrow." Lin Ran was a little listless.

"Go to the Eiffel Tower tomorrow."

"Oh."

Lin Ran replied lightly, still listlessly.This state lasts until sleep at night.

Zhou Jingyuan actually heard what Lin Ran said clearly, but he felt that it was not the time yet, and he didn't want Lin Ran to say it.So he pretended not to hear.Wait, tomorrow, just tomorrow...
