city ​​of angels

?? Exactly the same route.

?? The Grand Palace, Ah Chong may have brought it countless times, and Ning Yu is also the third time.When the bus arrives, get off the bus, the guide Ami is counting people in the front row, and the No. [-] family and the No. [-] family shout.

?? Ning Yu and Achong are standing on the tail of the team.When they called Family No. [-], the two raised their hands blankly, and then put them down blankly.Surrounded by tour groups, surrounded by crowds, the sun is bright and hot, hitting people all over the place.

?? Ah Chong glanced sideways at Ning Yu, "Do you still want to see the Grand Palace?"

?? Ning Yu took out a hard lemon candy from his bag and handed it over, saying, "I don't want to read it. I want to invite you to have a cup of coffee. Are you free?"

?? Ah Chong smiled, took the candy, cooperated with Ning Yu, and asked: "Then should I go with the guests in the group, or with a friend?"

?? Ning Yu laughed along with him, "Can I go with my boyfriend?"

?? They greeted Ami, and turned to find the coffee shop they had been to together.

??Passing by the security booth on the road, Ah Chong didn't stop to talk to others this time.The weather is so hot that it is easy to get sleepy at noon.When Ning Yu said he wanted to smoke, Ah Chong accompanied him to a smoking place with his pocket in his pocket.

?? They stand together, one smokes, one eats candy, watching the passing tourists and scenery.

?? "Did the security guard here change?" Ning Yu pointed at the security booth with a cigarette, "I always remember that day, you asked the security guard's daughter to call me brother, a very healthy little girl."

?? "Well, they moved to Chiang Mai for work."

"Why do you know all the security guards?"

?? "It was the job I introduced to him. Someone I knew before helped the third sister."

Ah Chong shrugged his shoulders and said it quite indifferently: "When I first came out to work, I wanted to hang out among these people. I am almost like them, I am just a person who comes out to work hard."

?? Ning Yu smiled: "To be honest, I always feel like you and don't look like you. Sometimes I think you look like a rich young master, and sometimes I think you look like a poor peddler. You are very strange."

??Yeah?But people can't have only one side, I just like to adjust myself so that there are no gaps in different scenes.

??Ah Chong played with the candy wrapper in his hand, pointed at the crowd in front of him and continued, "Look, there are hundreds of businesses that can be done in just one scenic spot. Those who sell fake tickets, those who help people take pictures, security guards, and fines Selling food, selling toys... I don’t have a good background like you, I have been living in these places since I was a child, earning money for my life.”

?? Ah Chong seldom mentions his own affairs like this.

?? Ning Yu pinched the cigarette and went to hold Achong's hand.Ah Chong avoided it, and scolded him with a smile: "Come on, it's so hot and still hold me."

?? "I want to hold you."

?? "Don't be hypocritical with me." Achong smiled indifferently, and took out a candy from Ning Yu's pocket, "The lives of people with bad lives are very hard. I."

?? Ah Chong bit the hard candy in his mouth.The candy crumbled in his mouth, it was so sweet that Ah Chong narrowed his eyes.

??Ning Yu looked at Ah Chong, and then said softly: "When you say such things, you always feel that you are very close...and far away from me, so I want to hold you back."

?? Ah Chong smiled, said nothing more, and started walking forward with his arms around Ning Yu's shoulders.

?? "Never asked... what do your parents do?"

?? It can be heard that Ning Yu asked this question carefully.

?? Ah Chong chewed candy, helped Ning Yu straighten his hat, made sure that this person couldn't see his expression, and then said in a very exaggerated tone: "My parents! Drug lords, my mother is the woman who followed the big drug lords in the wind and rain! They went in when I was a child, and I haven't seen them since, whether they live or die has nothing to do with me."

??His tone was like joking with Ning Yu in the past.

??This kind of experience sounds too bizarre, and it must be too far from Ning Yu's life, Ah Chong thought.Otherwise, how could Ning Yu say: "Speak well, I'm serious."

?? You don't believe me.Ah Chong didn't know whether he was smiling fakely or really, but anyway, he was smiling.

?? When he spoke again, his tone was casual and joking.

?? "I'm serious too." Ah Chong shook his head.If you don't believe the truth, people love to hear lies.

Ning Yu frowned, and then replied: "I think who your parents are is different from who you are. It doesn't matter if you don't want to say it, but I hope you know that I won't think about you because of this." I just asked you... I don't know much about your past, and occasionally I want to hear more from you."

??Well, I guess this person thinks I have some unspeakable secret, so I'm sorry to say it.I said it!I said you don't believe me.

??past?I won't tell you.I lost the past, what I want is the future.

?? Ah Chong looked up at the shadow of the tree in front of him.

??The light is so dazzling that it makes people dizzy.He carried Ning Yu across the road, tourists and pedestrians passed by them, their eyes stuck on his and Ning Yu's faces for a moment.Look at it, look at it, hey, what is he doing, obviously I am more handsome than him... Don't look at it, he likes men, and he was fucked to death by me last night, okay.Don't look at me either!I haven't liked a girl in a long time.

From the corner of his eyes, Ning Yu saw Ah Chong looking at the two girls in hot pants, his face collapsed, and he directly raised his hands to cover Ah Chong's eyes, "Don't look!"

?? Ah Chong laughed, and pulled Ning Yu's hand, "Don't look at it, don't look at it, it's not as good-looking as your legs."

??Crossing the street, it is familiar, and the street that Ning Yu walked through.

?? Ah Chong suddenly couldn't believe that a year had passed.

?? He turned his head and asked Ning Yu: "Does your family have any objections when you come to Bangkok?"

?? Ning Yu paused, turned his head, and made a joke: "Of course I have an opinion. My dad wants to break my leg. But he is busy and doesn't have much energy to take care of me. So if you drive me away, I can only go back and inherit my father's company."

?? Ah Chong laughed, "You got it, it's interesting to use what you earn."

??Ning Yu thought for a while, and suddenly asked: "Brother Chong, have you never thought about living in China?"

?? Back to life??

?? Ah Chong thought about it, and replied: "Thinking about it, but..."

?? But I have no family there, no friends, no roots.I have thought about going back countless times to see if the barber shop where my third sister stayed is still there, and if there is any change in the Dai village where the plantains are planted... But I am afraid that I will not be able to find it, because I have no home in the first place.

?? He said: "I don't seem to have a reason to go back."

?? Ning Yu took a look at Ah Chong, and was about to speak when he arrived at the place.

??They come to the same coffee shop, go to the front desk to order.Ah Chong asked a few questions in Thai about why the decoration had changed and the style had changed.The front desk said that because of the change of boss, the previous two bosses divorced and changed hands of the store.

??Same as the first time, Ah Chong ordered coconut juice for Ning Yu, and he wanted American style.After ordering, they found the same seat and sat down.

?? "I used to like coming to this store to buy coffee beans. The male boss knows coffee very well." Chong shook his head, "He and his wife seem to be in first love, and they got divorced for some reason."

??Ning Yu felt that this topic was not safe, and planned to change it, "Oh...does your hand hurt?"

?? "It doesn't hurt." Ah Chong saw Ning Yu's thoughts and didn't intend to let him succeed, so he continued, "So you see, many cases show that the relationship is the weakest thing, and divorce is possible no matter how good the relationship is. "

?? Ning Yu sighed, "I heard that we are on our honeymoon, are you sure you want to talk about divorce with me now?"

?? I only talk to you.Ah Chong raised his eyebrows, "Remind you to be more sober."

??Ning Yu looked a little helpless, and raised his hand to touch the end of his eyebrows. He would do this little trick every time he hesitated.

??He said: "You keep reminding me more deliberately...I don't know whether you are reminding me or reminding yourself."

?? Oh, you can actually hear it.What's going on, is Fengchun's wood getting better and better?Perhaps love is the way xylitol is extracted.

?? As soon as Ah Chong was about to answer the call, Ning Yu said again: "I don't know if you don't believe that the relationship can last forever, or you don't believe in me."

?? Well, I actually don't believe in anything.

Ah Chong pretended to be thinking, and said slowly: "People change. Suppose I like you today and someone else tomorrow, wouldn't you be sad? So I'm doing it for your own good. Marriage, relationship... these things It’s all too ethereal, and it’s not as practical as money and motorcycles.”

?? Ning Yu actually smiled.He folded his arms and changed his sitting position.

?? "Because I don't like the end, the logic of not starting doesn't work for me. You are so annoying, keep emphasizing this with me. If you really bothered me, why didn't you drive me away at the airport."

?? Ning Yu glanced at Ah Chong, "Talk about things, beat around the bush, just to let me know that our baby Ah Chong will be treated well, it is very precious, and make me worry about tomorrow every day, so I treat you twice every day. You can only get it tomorrow, right? I understand, I understand."

?? Oh, well, he'll be kidding.Ah Chong spread his hands, "It's good that you know."

??Ning Yu looked over again, this time, his eyes were gentler.

??He said: "Actually, I think that vows, relationships...these things don't necessarily have a time limit. If you think about it with your logic, I think the beauty of a relationship does not lie in how long it lasts, but in... …At some point, we are willing to believe because of something, that love can last forever.”

??Aren't you a science student? How can you say that.

?? I was distracted, so Ah Chong asked a silly question: "Have you ever believed it?"

?? "I believe it." Ning Yu nodded, smiling a little smugly, "For example now."

??Wow, you can draw inferences from one instance, good student.

?? Well, you won this round.

?? Ah Chong smiled and lowered his eyes to look at his hands.

??This is also the first time that Ah Chong found that he did not want to look directly at Ning Yu.Maybe it's because the other party is too frank?Maybe.The abrupt arrogance was pushed back, and Ah Chong felt that because of the simple person and simple thoughts in front of him, he was also being simplified accordingly.

??Ning Yu pretended to organize his bag.After thinking about it, I said, "It suddenly occurred to me, do you still remember...a book we talked about here at that time?"

?? Remember, called "Blade".Blade, have you ever wondered why this book is called Blade.The blade cuts through the true nature of life, the blade is not good, let's not be so sharp, let's be softer.

??Achong shook his head: "I don't remember."

?? "At that time I said I didn't finish it, but when I went back later, I finished the book on the plane." The waiter brought the drink, and Ning Yu said thank you, "Do you want to know the ending?"

?? I know the ending, and I looked for it later.But Ah Chong still said, "Tell me about it."

?? "The ending... I don't think it's an ending, but more like a beginning." Ning Yu said, "The protagonist gave up his marriage contract and chose to travel around... Finally he returned to his hometown and became a taxi driver."

??He probably also found that his narrative ability is not good.Frowning, "It's just... I think I can understand the protagonist now, in a sense. Although there are many things I don't understand, I think he is a very brave person."

??So, are you saying I'm not brave?Ah Chong took a sip of coffee, "So what do you want to say?"

?? "I want to say... In fact, it's just going back, it's not a big deal." Ning Yu paused, "If you want to go back, we can go back and have a look together. If you are afraid of the cold, let's find a... not so cold I will live in the city, and I will make money to support you. I mean... anyway, I will accompany you. "

?? Ning Yu is really not suitable for saying such things, it's so disgusting.Ah Chong put down his coffee cup and asked, "Suddenly curious, what did you think when you came to see me?"

??The music played in the store was a bit loud, and Ah Chong somehow felt a little irritable.Why do people feel irritable because of warmth?strangeness.

?? "What do you think?" Ning Yu thought for a while, and said slowly, "Thinking... come to you, what should you do if you ignore me, what should you do if you ignore me, what should you do if you like me, what if you don't like me Me, what should I do?"

?? Think too much.Ah Chong smiled, "Then have you thought of a way?"

?? Ning Yu looked over and smiled to himself.

?? He said: "There seems to be only one way, which is to hang on... I am more stubborn."

?? see it.

?? After speaking, Ning Yu touched a candy and put it on the table, and flicked it with his fingers.Ah Chong pressed the candy in time to prevent it from slipping away. It was a hard strawberry candy. He played with it in his hand and didn't eat it.

?? They chatted loosely.There is no fixed topic, it seems to be ordinary chat.

??It's hot.

?? A group of men and women sitting next to each other spoke a bit loudly, Chinese and Cantonese.

??They listened for a while, and Ning Yu suddenly said sourly: "I always have a Cantonese accent in your Chinese. Did you learn it from that Cantonese?"

?? Tsk, I will eat any kind of vinegar.

?? "Maybe because I liked watching Hong Kong movies before? I think it's okay. I speak Chinese with my third sister and I have a bit of an accent. You can teach me more in the future." Ah Chong laughed at him, "How can I spend my honeymoon with you? Husband is jealous, you will be spanked at night."

?? Ning Yu frowned, "I can teach you, but you have to pay the tuition fee."

?? Ah Chong said, "How much is it?"

?? "Forget about the money, exchange it for something else. Tomorrow..." Ning Yu glanced at him, his eyes dodging, "...I just don't need to throw coins tonight."

??I guess you can't think of anything else.Ah Chong smiled, "Okay, then you have to teach me well."

?? Ning Yu immediately pursued the victory: "...It doesn't matter if you add another day after tomorrow."

"It's good to make progress." A Chong glanced at him, "Enough is enough, don't be too greedy, Ning Boyfriend. The only thing I can promise you is that I will not marry Juxian."

?? Ning Yu blushed.Since then, Ah Chong has been teasing him with Juxian, and he is also speechless, only blaming himself for saying something stupid.

?? After a while of embarrassment, Ning Yu said: "Not only Juxian, but also others."

?? After he finished speaking, he suddenly raised his hand that had been hiding under the table, and then handed out a paper flower.

??oh?A Chong raised his eyebrows.

?? "Add another flower, so you don't have to throw coins the day after tomorrow, okay?" Ning Yu might want to imitate Ah Chong's tone and movements, "The handsome guy has a kind heart and accepts my flower, take pity on me."

??Jesus, he is stupid.Ah Chong took the paper flower over with a smile, "Hey, not only did you steal my tricks, but you also stole my origami flower?" Nothing new.

?? It seems to have returned to that day.It was the same hot afternoon, the same coffee shop, the same seats, the same actors, different scripts and lines.It seems to be back to the beginning, but it is like a new beginning.

??Ning Yu didn't tell Ah Chong that he still kept the flower that Ah Chong randomly folded for himself, and kept it in the book "Blade".The paper rose was caught in the blade, on the page Ning Yu reread.

?? He asked: "Is it enough to please this gentleman?"

?? Ah Chong smiled, shook his head, "Not enough."

?? Never enough.

?? Ning Yu raised his eyebrows, pretending to be disappointed, "This gentleman is so difficult."

?? It’s okay, neither too much nor too little, as long as it’s just right.

?? But I want this relationship to have a shelf life of only one day forever, so that this game can continue to play.Quantitatively control output and ensure long-term returns, you and I will make money without losing money.

?? And I want the initiative of the game.

Ah Chong thought for a while, winked at Ning Yu, and said, "Have you ever heard a song that seemed to be very popular before... There is a line in the lyrics that says there are 36 tricks in love, and you have to keep your charm at all times in order to not be scored. Out. Wow, I really like this song, if you study the spirit of the lyrics, you will know why I am so difficult."

?? Ning Yu was taken aback by the ancient phrase '36 Strategies for Love', "...you really like listening to music."

?? I don't like to hear it either.No way, I listen to these when I stay in China.What else...you are electricity, you are light, you are the only myth.These popular songs back then, the man of X, and the TV series with the heroine named Xiaoyanzi, these are the few connections with my hometown in my memory.

?? Ning Yu smiled.He said: "The handsome guy accepted my flowers, and he will only accept my flowers in the future. Do you want to go back to Yunnan? Your hometown produces flowers, and we can go to see the sea of ​​flowers."

??I think, I think.

??I like to speak Chinese, I want to go back, I have no roots in China, so seeing you is kind, so listening to you reading is kind, so when you said to accompany me back, I actually felt that you are not like a stranger in my life ,You're very kind.As you said, at this moment, I am because of the wind in Bangkok, because of the smile and sweets you handed over, and because of your careful and warm tone. I am willing to believe that in this second, feelings can last for a long time.

?? Ah Chong smiled, and replied: "Let's talk about it, you still have to go to school."

?? Ning Yu curled his lips, but said very gently: "It is impossible to study for a lifetime. I'm serious, you should think about it."

?? I mean it too.Just like I want to believe that we started here at the beginning, and we can start here in the future, and you will always be kind.Anyway, this second, I like you very much.

?? A second passed.

?? I still like you a little bit.

?? Ah Chong drank all the coffee.He put on a natural smile and was about to speak, but he saw something else out of the corner of his eye.

?? The atmosphere completely changed at that moment.The weather was so hot, Ah Chong felt a strong irritability in his body in an instant.

?? He suppressed the trouble that popped up, and looked over quietly.

?? are the three tables on the left front.A little girl with black and yellow skin, very thin and flustered, was selling a few garlands.

?? Ah Chong squinted his eyes to see her demeanor and movements, and his face sank.

?? Ning Yu was talking to Ah Chong about his plans after dinner. He called a few times, but seeing no response, he looked up at Ah Chong, and followed his gaze.

?? In fact, it was a very short gap.Ning Yu glanced at Ah Chong, then at the little girl.

?? Together they saw that the flustered and frightened little girl slowly reached for a lady's purse.

?? Ning Yu also frowned, but Ah Chong didn't speak, just looked at him without saying a word.He didn't understand, and leaned over to ask, but Ah Chong pressed his hand on him.

?? Ning Yu fell silent.Because of the nervousness, everything that happened later seemed to him to be a shot slowed down countless times——

?? He saw a man sitting next to him turn his head. The man noticed the little girl's movements. The man frowned, leaned over, his expression changed, his hand stretched out, and his mouth opened——

?? But before the man opened his mouth, Ah Chong shouted loudly: "—there is a thief!"

?? In a blink of an eye, the little girl trembled all over, dropped the wreath on her hand, and ran away.She was obviously familiar with the place and was running towards the path.

?? Ning Yu was shocked.

?? An intuition hit him inexplicably.Who is Ah Chong reminding with that sound?To remind the owner of the purse, or to remind the little girl?At that moment, Ning Yu's intuition told himself that it was the latter.

??Ah Chong pulled out the chair, and while everyone was still in a daze, he chased after the little girl in the direction where the little girl ran away.
