The TV station's Christmas party was lackluster, and the family sat around the table, but it really had a home atmosphere.When Jane's father asked about the future plans of the two of them, Jian Mingche faltered and said, "We are still young, and getting married...is not that urgent." As he spoke, he secretly raised his eyes to Jian Mingcheng.He pretended not to see it, and silently scooped up his favorite lotus root slices from the bottom of the pot.

Father Jane glanced at his son, said "Hi" and said, "Don't worry about your brother, you can do your own business as soon as possible." He felt that the two of them had received the certificate earlier The relationship between them can be more stable, "We don't want you to hold a special wedding, it doesn't matter where it is held, but at least we have to hold a few banquets at home, and invite relatives and friends to come and celebrate."

"Dad—" Jian Mingche was not very happy, and said in a drawn-out voice, "When I come back, you will talk about this, can't you just have a good meal?"

"Okay, okay, don't talk about this, don't talk about this. Then how is your job? Can your current salary be consumed in a big city like Qingteng? Your father and I still have some savings. If you don't have enough to buy a house, we There is also a part to be paid..."

Jian Mingche agreed with a "hmm", while looking at Jian Mingcheng for help.He only cared about eating his own, and it was useless for him to meddle in this kind of thing anyway.

"Brother, do you plan to stay here forever?"

After eating, the two siblings sat on the steps in front of the door and looked at the snow that had not completely melted outside.On the street, older boys galloped by on bicycles, with a group of children chasing after them.From time to time, the sound of someone's dog barking could be heard in the distance. When the sky darkened, even cars were rarely seen.

"I read the book you translated some time ago. I wanted to buy one and bring it back, but I didn't take it because I had too much luggage."

"It's okay. Don't bring so many things with you when you come back next time. Do you have anything at home? Tell Lin Han that we'll get up early tomorrow and go to the countryside to visit grandpa's grave. It's hard for you to come back once. If you don't go, you won't have a chance this year." .”

"Oh——" Jian Mingche agreed, and when it came to this topic, neither of them was in a high mood, "Then I'll go in first, and don't sit here for too long, it's cold on the ground."

Jian Mingcheng nodded, watching her turn and enter the house, at this moment he suddenly remembered something, so he stood up, picked up a shovel in the yard and started shoveling snow.A path was gradually cleared in the yard, and the sound of shovels rubbing against the floor could be heard endlessly.

The group of children who ran past just now ran back again, and there were a few dogs barking beside them. He walked a few steps inside as if he was afraid, without looking up.Immediately afterwards, the brakes of the bicycle stopped abruptly, and a group of children stopped in front of his yard.He sighed and stopped what he was doing, and inserted the shovel into the snowdrift he had just shoveled, to see what the group of children were up to.

The thin snow reflects the thin light of the sky, and people who are far away cannot see clearly.The cyclist got off the car, and his figure looked unusually tall. He waved at the children, and a group of children shouted and pushed the bicycles away.But the man gradually walked towards the yard, from the darkness to the two faint door lamps on both sides of the iron gate.

Jian Mingcheng took a tight breath, and saw that person stepping into the door with one foot, the outline of his face formed a proper silhouette under the light.He didn't take a step forward, but stood still at the door, and said to Jian Mingcheng, "Would you like me to come in and sit down?"

There was a distance between them, and the two stood silently.After a while, Jian Mingcheng spoke softly and said, "I thought you wouldn't come."

Gu Enzhong took off the scarf around his neck, walked over to wrap it around his neck, then lowered his head slightly, and pressed a slightly cold kiss on Jian Mingcheng's forehead.

"My birthday is coming, why don't I come and ask you for a birthday present?"

Jian Mingcheng said, "Didn't it be your birthday?"

Gu En smiled again, stretched out his hand to wrap him in his arms, and said, "Because of you, I'm looking forward to it again."

The thousand words of the reunion are all but in these simple few sentences.

Jian Mingche was undoubtedly startled when he saw Gu Enzhong last night, but he was able to greet him calmly when he woke up this morning.It's just that on the way to the countryside, she followed Fang Linhan closely, without saying a word.

The bus is bumpy all the way, from the county to the town, and then transfers from the town station to the countryside. The surrounding scenery is getting rid of the modern atmosphere and returning to the original rural style.

Walking on the small road in the countryside, Jian Mingcheng was holding a plastic bag containing two apples and a bottle of newly bought liquor, while Gu Enzhong was holding a bag containing paper money and incense sticks.The snow had almost melted, and only white traces could be seen at the roots of the grass while walking. Jian Mingche and Fang Linhan fell far behind them, and they also looked silent.

"When I was a child, I would come to my grandpa's house to play when I was on vacation. At that time, I thought there was everything here, the best singing of birds, the best smell of wind and rain, the widest wilderness, and the most fun. Games, and the closest friends. Now that I come back, I realize that everything is lonely. There are fewer and fewer people in the village, and the rest are old people and children. Only during the Chinese New Year will it be more lively, but once the New Year is over After that, it calmed down again." Gu Enzhong listened without interjecting, and Jian Mingcheng continued, "The only good thing is that the old house is still there. After Grandpa passed away, everything inside remained intact. , you might like some old items."

"No matter how much you like it, you can't take it away. They belong here."

After thinking about it concisely and clearly, he also said, "Then it's up to you."

Walking to the bottom of a small hill, Jian Mingcheng will tell Gu Enzhong what kind of games he played here when he was a child. He once fell and his clothes were covered in mud. The bamboo pole hit me.

"He is a very kind old man, and it doesn't hurt to beat people. He usually likes to smoke some tobacco leaves. When he goes to the market, he will go to the tobacco leaf market, and sit with the tobacco leaf sellers and chat all day long. Sometimes I follow him, sometimes I don’t. When I don’t follow, I run all over the mountains and fields with the children in the village, catching hares in the fields and bird nests in the trees.”

There was nothing special to say, but he was willing to speak, and he was willing to listen.The footsteps of two people left on the mountain path, and the chattering voice left in the wind, it seems that this is the whole meaning, nothing else.

After arriving at the place, a string of firecrackers was set off according to the custom, paper was burned and incense was lit in front of the grave.The thatch on the grave had grown so crazy that it was hard to see that it was a grave. Jian Mingcheng sprinkled a small half bottle of white wine in front of the grave, and then pulled Gu Enzhong to make three bows for the old man.Jian Mingche and Fang Linhan followed suit, folded their hands together in front of their chests, and bowed deeply three times at ninety degrees.

After bowing, Jian Mingcheng said softly: "You can make a wish with grandpa, let him bless the safety of the younger generation."

After hearing this, Gu Enzhong kept bowing silently for a while, but no one knew what he said to the old man.

After returning from the grandfather's grave, Jian Mingcheng took him to Li's house to see his newly added younger sister. Gu Enzhong said that the name Jian Minghan was very nice - it seemed that it was never wrong to praise a child's name.

Jian Minghan is no longer the wrinkled and red face she was when she was just born. She couldn't help laughing when she saw Gu Enzhong. The woman coaxed the child to call him "brother", but forgot that she couldn't speak at all.

On Gu Enzhong's birthday, Jian Mingcheng gave him the unfinished manuscript of "Son of Dandelion" as a birthday present.From south to north, and from north to south, they invited three or five friends to hold a simple but grand wedding in Qingteng City, where they met and fell in love, and put rings on each other in front of everyone.It turns out that everything is not as difficult as imagined, their love does not need a paper to prove, each other is each other's evidence.

Gu Enzhong has never made a movie that was shown on the big screen, but he often worked with like-minded friends in the industry to make some alternative art movies, and gradually put the focus of his career back on the stage of drama. The hit of "Golden Tide" became a phenomenon-level movie-watching frenzy that year. Even though there are various intricate factors behind it, it does not deny that it is an excellent movie that can leave a name in movie history.

Since then, Jian Mingcheng has devoted himself to the work of translation, and it seems that he has finally found something that he can pursue for his whole life.However, his only book, which is a must-read book for people to understand Gu Enzhong and the love between him and Gu Enzhong-"The Son of the Dandelion", was written by two people after their deaths. Ren's friend during his lifetime - the painter Shi Nandai compiled and published it.

The cover of "Son of the Dandelion" uses a concise sentence written at the end of the book——

"I thought you were an unexpected guest in my life."

The author has something to say:

The novel was completed on July 2017, 7, and the automatic upload should be completed in the next few days, but I wrote the timeline in the story to 1, 2018 and even later.I didn't have time to write the few scenes I originally planned to write, so I tried to insert them in the middle, and after thinking about it, I finally forgot it.

I originally wanted to write it as a tragedy, but as I wrote it, I couldn't help but let them stay together for life.I have never experienced true love, and the older I grow up, the less I believe in love. The two visible love affairs in my life so far have ended with the confession being rejected by the other party-the so-called end before it even started.So I wrote what I think is the most ideal love in words.

At the beginning of the story, Jian Mingche sneaked into the idol Gu Enzhong's house as a brainless fan, and suddenly thought of it when he saw a similar news-I want to write this into my novel, so "Uninvited Guest January Glance" here we go.Many of the plots in this have the shadow of my poor life experience so far. In middle school, a roommate did tell us that she thought she would die before the age of 16, but then she became an adult smoothly and is still in my life. In the classmate group list, but there is no connection.

Jian Mingcheng said that he would die unexpectedly before the age of 30. This was the ending I originally set for him, and it was also the way I chose to end my life.

There are two different versions of this story, one is "The Uninvited Guest" and the other is "Glance".When I first registered the title of "Uninvited Guest", I had to give up because it had the same name as other books. Later, in order to pay tribute to the most touching love novel I have read so far, "Floating Light", I added two words "Liao Ying" ", and "January" was just written on the head, and there may be "February", "March", and "April" in the future, but it is very likely that there will be none.When submitting to the second website, I simply omitted all the previous ones, and directly took "Guiying".

In a way, this story is very similar to "Floating Light", and even when I was writing "Glide of Shadows", I kept re-reading "Floating Light".

In "Floating Light", Yan Cai is an actor, and Xie Minglang is a photographer; in "Looping", Gu Enzhong is an actor, and Jian Mingcheng is a teacher. Later, I made him a translator and writer.Lord Odan created the most perfect man I have ever seen, and the love between Gu Enzhong and Jian Mingcheng is the most ideal love model I can imagine.

I didn't get any suggestions from readers during the writing process, and I didn't even see a few testimonials, so I was talking to myself.The only reader left a message saying that he thought it was well written, and the moment he saw it, he felt as if he was suddenly blessed by the god of love.But such happiness is rare, just like my lackluster life.

We hope someone likes it.And I like them.
