Star Sea·Light Year

It was almost eight o'clock when he got home.

His dinner was placed on the table. Thinking of the awkward atmosphere in the morning, Wang Ben took the initiative to say to Meng Tian who was reading a book on the recliner: "Didn't you say that your fingers are used to play the piano? Cooking may also be difficult." hurt your hand?"

Because he heard some past events from Xin, he decided to treat Meng Tian as his younger brother for the time being.This relationship should be more in line with their past, right?

Meng Tian put down the book and smiled softly.Under the soft light, Wang Ben felt that his "brother" was extraordinarily good-looking, and even unconsciously felt a little proud.

"Of course they were done by others."

"Huh... I always thought you made these, and I want to praise your craftsmanship." But he doesn't look like a person who can cook by himself.

"I'll pass this on to him. How is it going? Did you go well today?"

"By the way, I met my former classmate!" He straddled the chair and said excitedly, "He told me some past things, you know, he is the boyfriend of the pastry chef in the shop, Isn't it a coincidence?"

"Really?...Which classmate?" Meng Tian asked curiously.

"letter."

"...So that cute girl is his girlfriend, she is really petite and exquisite."

"Yeah, I thought she was a middle school student."

"Speaking of which, when you sent us a picture in the letter before, you still said he was a 'lolicon'! Haha. But the girl has changed a lot. At that time, she had short hair and looked like a little boy. "

"Oh, that's why you didn't recognize it!"

She looks pretty cute now.

"...Because I haven't paid special attention to it, I prefer mature ones."

Wang Ben laughed: "I heard that you are a playboy."

"I am more popular with women."

"I heard that I receive more love letters."

Meng Tian laughed haha: "Yes, you still read every one of them."

Read every one... It seems a little exaggerated.

"Although I won't respond to other people's wishes, but when I asked you before, you said that this is the minimum respect....Maybe you just want to see what girls have written to admire you, haha." Meng Tian sat Get up, "But you are not the most exaggerated one, Zheng will reply to everyone, and then he will say helplessly why he always receives so many!"

"It's because of writing replies that I always receive a lot!" Wang Ben couldn't help complaining.

"Haha, that's what you said at the time."

"What about you? You should also receive love letters, right?"

"I don't often receive love letters. Maybe you and Zheng seem to be the type who are not easy to get close to, so they write love letters. I am often confessed by girls!"

Just as Wang Ben was about to speak, there was a sudden vibration.

"Ah, the phone." Meng Tian leaned forward and took the mobile phone on the coffee table, "It's a letter..."

"Yo, why did you call me all of a sudden?" Seeing him lying back on the chair again, Wang Ben turned around to prepare for dinner.

"Why don't you say it? No matter what, Wang Ben is Wang Ben, and there is no special need to say it. Even if we poured out the past to him, to him, it probably seems to be listening to someone else. Tell me a story. So just let it be, maybe you will remember everything when you wake up.” Meng Tian’s voice was not loud, but Wang Ben could hear it clearly.

What he said was the truth, but it was a bit harsh to his ears.He was very grateful that he told the people he knew about it without presumptuously asserting it, but he also felt that it was not a big deal to tell it, because it was a fact that he had no memory of the past.But Meng Tian's casual tone made him feel that he didn't care at all whether he remembered the past or not... It's not so easy to say that he wants to start his life again.He can't touch the shadow of the past at all, just holding on to the memory of four months, he often feels at a loss, and when asked about his preferences, he doesn't know how to answer!Frankly speaking, he sometimes feels that although his biological age is already 25 years old, since all the memories of the past have disappeared, and even the knowledge accumulated in the past has evaporated, in the eyes of others, maybe he is no different from a useless person .

He really wanted to cry, to pull out that self and question him severely! ...Why did "he" drive that road in the first place?But he wanted to cry, and couldn't find any records in the calendar of that day. At that time, Meng Tian also left because of something, so he probably didn't come here to look for him. Does he have any acquaintances here?So late, what are you planning to do?When thinking of this, he knew that "he" still had many secrets hidden.

Caught in his own contemplation, Wang Ben didn't notice when Meng Tian ended the call.

The food that usually feels very delicious is quite boring to eat today.After eating quickly, he put away the dishes, put them in the sink, turned on the faucet, and the warm water flowed down. He suddenly found that there was no other tableware in the sink.

"Didn't you have dinner?" Thinking that he shouldn't be able to wash the dishes by himself, he couldn't help asking, it's almost nine o'clock, if you haven't eaten by now, it will be bad for your health, right?

"...I ate outside."

"That's it."

Maybe it was a meal with a mature beauty he likes.

While lying on the soft bed, Wang Ben suddenly remembered that he had never seen Meng Tian eating anything other than desserts and strawberry milk in the refrigerator. ...and always eating sweets, he still looks skinny.

He also knew very little about Meng Tian.

"Although you have a bad mouth, overall, you are a man so good that you can be envied." This is how Xin commented on "him".In the past few days, Xin would come to him every day at noon, tell him about the past, and said that if there is anything that needs help, he can always come to him.According to him, there seemed to be a estrangement in their previous relationship, because "he" was a person who valued his origin a little bit, and Xin grew up in an orphanage, but Xin also said that "he" would develop such a personality, which is different from "His" growth environment has a lot to do with it, and this is Meng Tian's explanation to Xiang Xin on behalf of "him".

But Xin knew nothing about the environment in which "his" grew up.

... Just thinking of that place makes Wang Ben feel resistant.

When he went home and inquired about Meng Tian, ​​he did not say "he" and took it with him, but Wang Ben thought that since he could explain it in the same way, it meant that he must be aware of this. Finally let go.

"Because for you, there is nothing more important than being a good heir of the family." For some reason, when Meng Tian said this, although he was smiling slightly, he seemed to see a little sadness in his eyes .

"...Are you saying that the goal of 'my' is to become a qualified heir to the family?" He has no brothers or sisters, and this family must be inherited by him, unless his father has an illegitimate child...

"Well. You shouldn't be able to understand now, but inheriting a huge family is not an easy thing. It is a very heavy responsibility. Since your family is very old, your responsibility is far greater than I can understand. At the beginning, everything must be done to not disgrace the family's reputation, academically better than others, and the things that others can do best must be almost "professional" level, every day has a very strict plan, Although life is good, we don’t even have time for ourselves. Many people with the same background don’t even know what they really like, because the trajectory of our life has been set since childhood, what to do and what not to do , what to eat, what not to eat, what kind of clothes to wear, what to say on what occasion... These are all things that we cannot decide. As far as career is concerned, it is basically the way to inherit the family business , It has nothing to do with whether you like it or not. This is what I said there is no 'freedom'....Especially because you are the only child, this responsibility cannot be transferred to others, so you are a very strict person with yourself. Even among the children of the family , you are also very good. But for you like this, you still feel that you are not good enough, because there is no way, your father is so good, so good that no matter how hard you try, you may not be able to surpass it degree."

Wang Ben couldn't help frowning. Just listening to him say this, he felt breathless. Thinking about how he couldn't control his own time freely every day, what's the difference between that and a robot?

"Similarly, for us, what kind of people we want to associate with is also something worth thinking about. If we have an intersection with someone with a bad style, it will definitely spread in the circle and affect the reputation of our family.  … Like it It's the same with people you shouldn't like. Even if you overcome all difficulties and get married, the children you have will still be criticized....You attach great importance to the prestige of your family, so you are extremely cautious in your personal relationships and private life. As far as I know , you should have been single for so many years, apart from superficial casual acquaintances, there are not many people who have deep acquaintances."

In this way, he can understand something about "him".

"...Then it doesn't matter if I'm like this now?" It might become a laughing stock if it spreads out.

"It's okay, because 'you' lost your memory."

Meng Tian's understatement made him suddenly understand what he said before.

It would be nice if you can find something you like to do...Because "he" can't live the life he wants to live and do what he wants to do, so I hope he can enjoy these things for "him".

...the person really cared about "him".

He really doesn't care if he remembers the past, right?Maybe he thought it would be a happier thing for him... He, who knows the environment in which he grew up in the past, can't refute this now.

Remember nothing, which means no "baggage".

"...Thank you." He said sincerely.

"I was taken care of by you before, it's nothing."

The soft light dimmed Meng Tian's expression, and the figure curled up on the recliner seemed a little lonely for some reason.

...Maybe it's because she's too skinny?They were about the same height, but he was much stronger than him.

After that, he didn't want to hear about his past anymore.Maybe it's because I want to spend this time according to my own preferences, at least for now, so I don't want the past to interfere with me.Strangely, when he had this thought, it seemed that the world around him was also frozen in the "now".I don’t even mention the past in the letter. I usually joke that he has a bad sense of art and the things he makes are very ugly.

Meng Tian would not comment in this way on the pudding he made for the first time that looked like a hornet's nest, although he laughed for a while, which almost made him think that he should have just thrown it away in the first place!But because I really wanted him to taste it, I still brought back the finished product that was finally edible.

"It tastes good."

Hearing what he said with a smile, Wang Ben also showed a smile.

"...can you let me cook in the future?"

He Liao Diao said that he has no culinary skills at all, so he doesn't know many basic things. Therefore, he should start practicing from the usual time, try to cook by himself, and keep improving, which will also be of great help to making pastry.

"Yes you can."

"Although the food may be difficult to eat, can you please come with me..."

Meng Tian always said that he had eaten outside, but he felt more and more that he hadn't eaten at all, because the two had been together for more than two months, and he seemed to be thinner than when they first met.

It wouldn't be like this if you ate normally, right?

Meng Tian thought for a while, then nodded and said, "Okay."

"If he's really not eating well, start with simple porridge."

As he spoke, Mink took out a book with many labels from the small brown bag and handed it to him.

"Private dishes from popular food bloggers?"

"It's my blog collection. This book contains relatively simple recipes, and the recommended order is on the label. If you don't understand anything, just call me."

Wang Ben opened the book and found that there were many notes written in it, which made him feel very grateful.He also understands why Xin is always nervous, she is really a very good girl.

"Thank you!"

The porridge cooked for the first time was almost completely mushy, and Wang Ben couldn't help thinking distressedly, maybe he really doesn't have the talent for cooking?Can't even do the simplest things...

"Sorry to make you eat something like this..."

He looked at the caked-on slimy thing in the delicate bowl, stirring it mournfully with a porcelain spoon.

"Otherwise, it's better to fall down and go out to eat something."

In case of a bad stomach, the gain outweighs the loss.

"Although it doesn't look very good, it tastes normal."

Meng Tian took a sip with a smile, and Wang Ben felt a little satisfied when he watched him tuck his hair behind his ears and gently blow the porridge in the spoon.

Even if you don't do well at the beginning, as long as you keep working hard, you should be able to do better and better.With this in mind, he stopped thinking about whether he had talent or not.

If you don't have talent, make up for it with hard work.

Gradually, he was able to cook some simple porridge without referring to recipes, and even made pastries more and more decently.

Carefully put in the seasoning and stir gently with a wooden spoon. Today he made porridge with mixed vegetables and lean meat.

"It will be ready to eat soon."

He said to Meng Tian who was reading a book over there, but Meng Tian didn't respond to him as usual, so he walked over with some doubts, wondering if he might have fallen asleep.

It's autumn, and the nights are a bit cold, so I might catch a cold if I just sleep there.

Seeing Meng Tian's sleeping face, he smiled subconsciously.This was the first time he saw his sleeping face. He carefully removed the book spread out on him, and wanted to get a blanket to cover him, but felt that it was not polite to enter his room without authorization, so he went to Take your own quilt and cover him up.

... It seemed that he was really lying to him when he said that he was eating out, because now his complexion is much better, and his cheeks are rounder. Wang Ben unconsciously stared at his peaceful sleeping face, and suddenly, a mischievous strand of hair slipped When it touched his face, he carefully stretched out his hand to help him push it away. When his fingertips touched the soft cheek, his heart beat a few beats suddenly uncontrollably, and his eyes seemed to be glued to his ruddy lips. Why? Can't move.It wasn't until there was a soft touch on his lips that he suddenly woke up as if he had been electrocuted. He didn't dare to look at his face any more, and returned to his room as if fleeing.

He is "brother".

He kept repeating this sentence in his mind.

Don't have such dirty thoughts!

But... His fingers couldn't help pressing his lips, as if they were still covered with his unique sweet and greasy fragrance.

He opened the window and took a few deep breaths, the cool wind made him a little more awake.

As if feeling a burst of frustration, Wang Ben sat on the bed weakly. ... He shouldn't have this kind of... No way?It's just that Meng Tian took good care of him, so he was grateful.

Only then did he feel close and wanted to repay him.

That's all it should be.

He rubbed his hair, feeling anxious. ...If he finds out, you will feel disgusted, right?Because he likes mature women... After turning off the fire in the kitchen and covering the porridge, he picked up his coat and closed the door as quietly as possible.

Looking at the lake surface that seemed to be shining under the moonlight, he suddenly wanted to run around the road by the lake.

There are also several people who run at night on the road, but even if he has seen these people before, he can't recognize them now... But he probably wouldn't know them before, after all, "he" lives far away from here.

"Did you dress so casually today?"

A person next to him seemed to be talking.After a while, no one answered, which made Wang Ben turn his head curiously.

"...you're not talking to me, are you?"

he asked hesitantly.

The other party nodded, showing a little surprised look.

"We met before?" "He" will also appear here?Seeing that the other party turned his head a little self-deprecatingly, he immediately realized that his words were a bit impolite, and hurriedly explained: "...I had an accident a while ago, and I don't remember what happened before....But if we met before, can you trouble me?" Can you tell me something about my past?" Although he no longer wants to get to the bottom of the past, "he" will appear here, which is really beyond his expectations!

"It turned out to be like this. In fact, we didn't know each other very well, but we occasionally met when we were running. You seemed very professional, and you seemed to have nothing to do after running a full lap, so everyone was surprised in private. But you He is relatively reticent, although he will nod his head and say hello to us, but he won't talk too much about himself, sorry, I don't know much, so I can't help much."

"But 'I' running here means 'I' might live around here?"

The man nodded.

"Everyone basically lives in this area....Don't you live in your own home now?"

"It might sound weird, but I'm currently staying with a friend and I don't remember ever having a place to live here."

"Well, then you have a very good relationship with your friend, doesn't he know that you live near here?"

"... 'I' probably didn't tell him about it."

He said so, but Wang Ben didn't know whether Meng Tian knew about it. ... He didn't deliberately lie to him, he was sure of that.So he thought there was a high probability that "he" hadn't said it.

Living here... Could it be a coincidence?That weird feeling came to his mind again.Was the relationship between him and Meng Tian really like "brothers" before?

How many things does "he" still hide?

The wind blowing from the lake was biting, but he felt refreshed when he was running. "He" should like doing this very much. For some reason, he could understand this.

The "huhu" wind in his ears calmed his mind down.He even felt that if he wanted to run, he might be able to keep running.And if people run fast enough, faster than a ray of light, they can cross the boundaries of time and space.That way, he can see "him". . . . but this is something that humans cannot do.

What kind of person is that "he" that no one knows...?

Suddenly, he turned his head and looked to the side. The empty surrounding made him feel a sense of loss, as if there should be someone beside him. ... When thinking like this, a light blue outline drilled into his mind.

……light blue?There should be no one in this world with light blue skin, right?

He shook his head amusedly.

When he got home, Meng Tian didn't seem to have woken up yet. Wang Ben didn't want to wake him up, so he didn't turn on the light. His eyes moved unconsciously to Meng Tian's body again following the light coming in from the shop.

——Light blue is not the color of the skin, but the moonlight and night intersect to outline his outline, and he is so white that it seems to be emitting a light blue light.

The sleepy face of the person in front of him, which was originally blank, suddenly overlapped with the blurred image in his own memory.

At the same time, emotions that belonged to him but did not belong to him swept all his thoughts.The strong urge to touch him and the surging love made him understand that "he" did not regard him as a "brother".

... "he" ... likes him.
