Listening to the sea

17

They had been having dinner at Shen's mother's house before they left.Mo Zixi's driver was already waiting downstairs. Shen Bei didn't want him to take him there, but he had no choice but to be dragged into the car.Shen Bei hesitated for a long time and asked Mo Zixi: "Didn't you come here yesterday, why are you here today?"

Mo Zixi said: "I don't like the noise and noise at home during Chinese New Year. I usually come to my godmother's house after New Year's Eve, and return to my apartment after staying for two days."

"Oh." Shen Bei answered casually, but he was thinking of another matter in his heart. After thinking for a long time, he decided to ask, "Just now, why did you ask me to recognize Auntie as a godmother?"

"I thought you would like it. I came to pay New Year's greetings on the second day of the new year. Didn't you bring a gift to see her before?"

Hearing this, Shen Bei's heart sank suddenly. It turned out that he had seen all the things that he thought he had concealed well. Maybe it was far more than that. It's already clear, what should I do?Shen Bei's men subconsciously tightened the leather cushion on the back seat of the car, how should I explain it to him?

Mo Zixi's gaze was looking out of the window, and he didn't intend to continue asking. Shen Bei looked at his side face, and said after deliberation: "She... looks very similar to my mother."

Mo Zixi's back seemed to stiffen for a moment, and then he turned his head to look at Shen Bei.Shen Bei continued: "That's why I want to take good care of her. After all, I have never fulfilled my responsibilities as a son, so life and death are separated."

He was telling the truth, he died before fulfilling his responsibilities as a son, but from Mo Zixi's point of view, he thought he was missing his parents who died young.The hand that was gripping the cushion was suddenly held by someone. Mo Zixi's hand was half a knuckle larger than Shen Bei's, and it was gently covering his hand, conveying silent comfort to him with his body temperature.He understands the pain of losing his mother, and he feels that Shen Bei at this moment is very much like himself when his mother just passed away, fragile, lonely, and scared.Mo Zixi hated himself at that time, but he felt very sorry for Shen Bei now.

Feeling the warmth of being held in the palm of his hand, Shen Bei stopped talking. He was grateful to Mo Zixi, but he couldn't say the words of thanks. When he was in trouble, the car stopped and the driver said it to them.Seeing that the car was parked on the road by the seaside of Bai Yin, Shen Bei immediately took his hand out of Mo Zixi's hand, opened the door and got out of the car, said goodbye, turned around and left, but couldn't say a word of thanks in the end.

Feeling the soft touch disappearing from his hands, Mo Zixi sighed and leaned back on the seat, and said to the driver, "Uncle Wang, you don't have to drive so fast next time."

A drop of sweat broke out on Uncle Wang's head, and he thought that if he didn't stop the car and watched you molesting the little boy, I wouldn't be able to explain to the master.But he replied respectfully: "Yes."

When Shen Bei returned home, his hands seemed to still be scorching hot. He covered them with his left hand, and the touch was completely different from before. Mo Zixi's hands were warm but not wet, like a warm winter sun, melting Get rid of the obstacles in his heart.

He suddenly wondered if their fates had been closely linked since the moment he rescued him in the previous life.

After the Spring Festival, the weather gradually warmed up.In March of Yangchun, Shengnan High School began to prepare for the spring outing.The annual spring outing is an unchanging tradition of Shengnan. Even high school seniors who are nervous about their studies have to participate. This year's spring outing is in the newly built Nanhu Park in the suburbs.Nanhu Park is famous for its huge Nanhu Lake. Nanhu Lake is a living lake. On the east side, there is a natural creek flowing into the mountain spring water. On the west side, a water outlet is artificially dug to prevent the water level from being too high during heavy rain. The entire lake area is twice the size of Shengnan High School. The playground is big, the water level in the center is about five meters deep, the lake is emerald green, and the peach blossoms around it are very beautiful in spring.There are man-made pavilions and promenades by the lake, as well as facilities for people to barbecue and fish.

The division of labor was done before departure. Mo Zixi's team was in charge of purchasing, Han Chenyi's team was in charge of transport and on-site order, Shenbei's team was in charge of washing vegetables and stringing skewers, and the other teams were in charge of lighting fire, grilling, and serving dishes.After Han Chenyi finished his work, he took out the fishing rod he had prepared and took Mo Zixi to the other side where there were few people to fish. Shen Bei took a pot of vegetables and found a clean place to wash.

Surrounded by the sounds of classmates busy chattering, Shen Bei lowered his head to wash leeks, and his thoughts drifted to his previous life. At that time, the school also had spring outings, but the spring outings at that time could not go to such famous places, and there would be no barbecues. Usually, they would just find a park for a stroll and then go back. At that time, Shen Pei was not good enough to be the leader of the group and was surrounded by girls. He usually walked at the end of the group and quietly watched the scenery alone.

Just as he was thinking, a few girls gathered around to wash vegetables with him, everyone was joking and playing with each other, everyone wanted to get closer to Shen Bei.Suddenly, one of the girls' feet slipped, her whole body tilted, and she fell into the lake with a plop.She was terrified because she couldn't swim, and she stretched out her hand to pat the water surface continuously while calling for help, and gradually floated away from the shore.

"Help! Help...cough cough!" She shouted for help helplessly, and began to sink after choking on water.

"Zhen Cheng fell into the water!" The girls also panicked and shouted in panic.

Before they finished speaking, Shen Bei had already taken off his coat and shoes and jumped off the lake, swimming towards Zhen Cheng's direction. At this moment, Zhen Cheng was almost unable to float up, and his expression was extremely painful.Fortunately, Shen Bei was fast and swam to her side in a few seconds. When he was about to bring her to the shore, Zhen Cheng hugged her as a life-saving straw. Shen Bei couldn't move his limbs, and followed Zhen Cheng to sink into the bottom of the lake.

Mo Zixi, who was fishing on the other side, realized what was going on when he heard the commotion here. He dropped his fishing rod and ran over. The teacher was not there, and all the students on the shore were students with poor water skills. No one dared to go into the water. .Looking at the rippling lake surface, Mo Zixi called Shen Bei twice, but no one responded, so he took off his shoes and was about to go into the water, but was grabbed by Han Chenyi.

"You are not as good at water as me, wait on the shore, I will go down."

While the two were entangled, Shen Bei floated to the surface of the water holding Zhen Cheng who had passed out, and then swam to the shore extremely fast.

"Han Chenyi, hurry up and call an ambulance! Everyone, let's leave a space for ventilation!"

After Shen Bei gave his orders in one breath, he dragged Zhen Cheng ashore, and everyone dispersed obediently.Shen Bei put Zhen Cheng flat on the ground, folded his hands and pressed her chest. After a dozen times, Zhen Cheng finally coughed up water, but there was no sign of waking up, so Shen Bei pinched her nose without hesitation. Give her artificial respiration.When Zhen Cheng opened her eyes weakly, the ambulance also arrived. Everyone helped the medical staff to carry her into the ambulance, and Shen Bei was really relieved.

The head teacher who rushed over followed the ambulance to the hospital, and everyone was not interested in continuing to play, so they packed up their things and prepared to leave.

Shen Bei's clothes were all soaked through, and it was still a little cool in the spring breeze. He picked up his coat and was about to go back and change, but Mo Zixi grabbed his wrist and dragged him towards the peach blossom forest where there were few people. .Mo Zixi grabbed very hard, Shen Bei thought his wrist must have been red, but seeing Mo Zixi who was full of anger, he had no choice but to follow silently.

Mo Zixi didn't let him go until he had gone a long way.Shen Bei frowned and rubbed his red wrist, dissatisfied: "What are you doing? I..."

Before he could finish his sentence, he was pulled into a warm embrace.Mo Zixi hugged Shen Bei tightly, pressing him to his chest, as if he would lose him if he let go.Shen Bei's chin rested on Mo Zixi's shoulder, feeling his powerful heartbeat, he was completely stunned, his hands were hanging on his side in a daze, and what he wanted to say just now had already been shaken out of the blue.

Mo Zixi hugged him for a long time without saying a word. Shen Bei felt that he was unusual, so he struggled a little and said, "Mo Zixi, let me go, I'm still wet."

"Aren't you brainless? Just jump down to save people by yourself! Do you know how deep the lake is!" Finally, Mo Zixi spoke.Menacing scolding.

"You can't just ignore death." Shen Bei continued to struggle.

"Do you know how scared I was when you couldn't get up underwater just now?" The hug tightened a little more.

"..." Shen Bei was stunned, did not answer, and did not continue to struggle, he felt the heartbeat in his ears became clearer, whether it was Mo Zixi's or his own.

"I... I'm fine, let me go first!"

"Shen Bei, you know, I like you, so please don't take such a risk in the future."

As if something exploded in his mind, Shen Bei only felt a buzzing in his ears, only the four words kept repeating, I like you, I like you... His heartbeat became faster and faster uncontrollably, and his entire chest was crushed. The sudden confession was full of jams, mixed with bitterness, sourness, and... a trace of joy, all kinds of emotions piled up, people dare not face it but can't help but think about it.Shen Bei felt the temperature of Mo Zixi's earlobe brushing against his cheek, closed his eyes and said, "Mo Zixi, are you kidding me?"

"You think I'm joking?"

"We're all boys, aren't we? And..."

"And what?"

"It's nothing." Shen Bei finally broke free from his embrace. He lowered his eyes and said calmly, "I'll just think you're joking, don't worry, I won't jump down to save people recklessly in the future."

In fact, he wanted to say that he would never have any problems even if he was dragged to the bottom, but he couldn't.They were not of the same kind, he couldn't understand his world, and he couldn't accept his feelings.

When Shen Bei turned around, the breeze blew, and the peach blossoms fluttered and fell behind Mo Zixi along with the breeze, dyeing this indifferent boy with the beauty of spring.

Shen Bei, I don't know how long you will have to escape.
