dust with light

The sea is vast, and a ferry is sailing slowly on the sea.

Xiao Yu is a crew member on this ferry. He was born by the sea, grew up on the ship, and will be buried in the bottom of the sea in the end, completing the cycle of life and death. It is ordinary and ordinary.

However, there is still one thing that is different from ordinary people.

He likes men.

As an employee of a passenger ship, Xiao Yu stayed on the ship after graduating from technical secondary school.But I also know that now that the traffic is developed and most people want to travel across the sea, most people will choose a more convenient and faster flight. Only one way, tourists who travel all the way will take a passenger ship and enjoy the sea breeze on the ocean.

Only, there are occasional exceptions.

Xiao Yu, as usual, after finishing today's work, sneaked to the deck of the rear cabin of the passenger ship at [-] o'clock in the evening.

At the stern, stood a young man in thin clothes.

It was a young man with a straight face, slightly hooked eyes, and a pair of beautiful phoenix eyes.

Xiao Yu noticed the young man when he first boarded the ship. After all, Xiao Yu likes men, and compared to those muscular hunks, he prefers beauties who tend to the traditional oriental aesthetics. A man with outstanding appearance like a young man is very It's hard not to attract his attention.

The young man seemed to like the sea breeze blowing on the deck at dusk. Xiao Yu watched his handsome profile. thing.

But in those eyes, there was indeed something that Xiao Yu couldn't understand.

Xiao Yu is a rough person, and he doesn't understand why there is always melancholy and sadness in the young man's eyes.

He felt very distressed, but he didn't know why he felt sorry for this stranger.

***

As the sun set, the crew on the deck urged the passengers who were still on the deck to return to the ship.The sea at night is freezing to the bone, if you stay any longer, even if nothing unexpected happens, you will catch a cold from the cold.

"Ah!"

Zhuo Yuchen sneezed and felt a little uncomfortable to breathe.

At this time, someone suddenly patted him on the shoulder, and when he turned his head, he saw an ordinary-looking young crew member holding a glass of ginger ale and looking at him rather embarrassingly.

"I saw you blowing the sea breeze at the stern for a long time before. I guess you have a cold." The crew member smiled honestly and gave Zhuo Yuchen the Coke. "This is a cold-proof drink for the passengers on the ship. Passengers are catching cold, so the ship is always ready."

Zhuo Yuchen opened his mouth and said softly: "...Thank you."

The sun-tanned face of the crew member turned red immediately, but fortunately his face was dark, so Zhuo Yuchen didn't notice his strange appearance.

"Go back to the cabin quickly, and rest early if you are sick," he ran away, and quickly reminded Zhuo Yuchen, "I think you are weak... I was really worried that you would be directly killed by me before." The wind blows and falls into the sea! Be kind to yourself!"

Zhuo Yuchen: "..."

Holding the still warm ginger ale, he frowned.Although he knew it was the kindness of the crew, he had already developed a psychological resistance to the bitter potion...

Unexpectedly, after a while, the crew turned back again.

He stuffed the thing in his hand into Zhuo Yuchen's hand again: "The taste of Coke may be a bit strange, if you are not used to drinking it, you can eat this later!"

After the crew ran away in a hurry again, Zhuo Yuchen opened his palm and saw what was placed in his palm: it was a hard fruit candy.

sugar...

Zhuo Yuchen lowered his eyes.

"There's no need for whitewashing things like sugar. From now on, I'll taste your pain for you."

The person who would believe such words is really hopelessly cheap.

Pinching his nose and drinking the ginger ale cola, Zhuo Yuchen tore off the wrapping paper of the candy, and swallowed the candy into his mouth in one gulp.

The cheap fruit candies tasted like cheap sweeteners, but it obviously neutralized the weird taste of ginger ale.

With sugar in his mouth, he walked back to his cabin step by step.

After overhearing Zheng Yan's phone call from Zheng Haoran, Zhuo Yuchen packed up his things that night, left the beach villa directly, and bought a boat ticket to the other side of the ocean.

When leaving, Zhuo Yuchen kept thinking that he was also tied up in the mountain villa by Zheng Yan before, and at that time he only had the thought of escaping.Now, Zheng Yan has forgotten about him, he finally got rid of Zheng Yan and was able to go to freedom, but he didn't feel any more joy in his heart, instead he was extremely desolate.

Obviously, this should be what he wanted, the result he had already expected.

But why is it extremely sad.

Zhuo Yuchen himself also felt that he was hypocritical, and he also doubted whether this was a deceit deliberately created by Zheng Yan in order to test him.

But with Zheng Yan's personality, he didn't seem like someone who would do such a thing.In the end, he thought of Zheng Yan's so-called medical treatment, and he had an estimate in his heart. Zheng Yan probably forgot him because of a medical accident...

This forgetting was not Zheng Yan's fault, he should have chased after Zheng Yan according to his previous thoughts, and made him think of himself again; or continued to wait, waiting for Zheng Yan's return.

but.

Zhuo Yuchen still decided to leave.

He was afraid that if he waited any longer, he would forget what he was waiting for.

A handful of humble soil, but in vain trying to use the sand to support delicate and beautiful flowers.Only when time was overturned did I realize that everything was just wishful thinking.

Why wait?

The world is still turning, and will not stand still because of someone's absence.

He is still the dusty Zhuo Yuchen, always alone.

Be it Shen Ye or the sharp sword, even Zheng Yan was just a casual passerby.

"Ah!"

Zhuo Yuchen sneezed again.

Ginger Coke is useless at all... The taste of cheap cyclamate in his mouth is about to disappear, Zhuo Yuchen finally moved back to his cabin.

He didn't have much savings, and in order to save money, he could only buy the lowest-class cabin on a passenger ship.

Wrapped in a somewhat damp quilt and curled up on the iron frame bed, Zhuo Yuchen carefully dug out his mobile phone and made plans for the future in a notepad.

I have to find a way to find a job first and get a temporary residence permit from country A...

He closed his eyes.

Zhuo Yuchen's health was not good, and the cold also made him very sleepy, and he fell into a deep sleep not long after.

After he had completely fallen asleep, someone pushed open the hatch of his cabin.

"You didn't lock the door, why are you so sloppy... What should you do if you encounter bad people..." The visitor walked to Zhuo Yuchen's side and bowed down.

He stretched out his hand, and traced gently on Zhuo Yuchen's face with nostalgia.

After a while, realizing that Zhuo Yuchen's body temperature was not right, he shook his hands, found a cooling patch, and gently stuck it on Zhuo Yuchen's forehead.

"Yuchen..." He whispered Zhuo Yuchen's name.

It is a sharp sword.
