shame

Walking through the green rice fields, dragonflies circled back and forth on the leaf tips.The two of them stepped on the muddy field ridge in slippers, and could not help interrupting the cricket's pleasant singing in the afternoon.

Under the shade of several towering trees, there is a pool of crystal clear water.The sunlight penetrates the gaps in the leaves, and wisps of light sway on the water.The stream flowed down from the top, filtering the sundries and silt, but the downstream was blocked by people at some point, so the streams came together and became a natural swimming pool.

Gu Sheng walked to the edge of the pool and stopped to take a look, and the waves reflected on his face.Xia He said: "The water is too clear, there are no fish." He pointed to the lotus pond not far away, "Maybe there are."

Gu Sheng was headed towards the lotus pond in the first place, and after hearing what he said, he started to walk forward.Xia He followed behind, holding the bucket with bait in his hand, swaying with his steps.Gu Sheng asked, "What do you usually do at home?"

Xia He froze for a moment, he didn't expect that he would suddenly ask this about his private life.

"Do what needs to be done."

"What's the right thing to do?"

"A lot, such as reading books, doing exercises, talking with my grandma, and sleeping."

Xia He stared at his back after speaking, thinking about what he would say next.

Gu Sheng turned a corner along the ridge, glanced at him, and said, "Are you usually so honest?"

honest?

It was the first time Xia He heard someone comment on him like this, he chuckled lightly: "No, I just like this kind of life, I can't be honest."

Just like some people don't like to talk, maybe he just likes this kind of life state, and he can't be called introverted.

Xia He asked back, "What about you, why are you here?"

"I didn't want to come. Maybe it was because your dad talked about something with my dad last time, which reminded my dad that he has another home, so he asked me to come back and have a look."

Xia He asked in disbelief, "Are you so obedient?"

Gu Sheng turned around and sneered at him again: "Of course I won't be so obedient, but he said, he will buy me a motorcycle when I go back, it's still heavy."

Oh, that makes sense.

The two talked to each other and walked to the edge of the lotus pond.It is the season when the lotus is in full bloom, and the pool is full of elegance.The flowers are pink and tender, and the branches hang above the water. When the wind blows, a few drops of water will shake off.

Xia He has never fished before, and this is his first time. He thought it would be a fun process, but after trying it, he found that there is nothing more boring than fishing.The fish biting the hook was okay, but he was hot all over while waiting, and the float was still motionless. His usual patience seemed to be useless at this moment, but he could only pretend to sit calmly on the grass mound, his mind was full of emotions.

Gu Sheng also became a little irritable, and muttered a few words, "Is there any fish?" Then he simply asked Xia He to watch for him, and lay down on the side to rest.

The sky is blue, as blue as the sea, but clearer than the sea.A white cloud caught his gaze, and he suddenly smiled and pointed to that cloud for Xiahe to see, and asked, "What does that cloud look like?"

Xia He raised his head and stared at it for a while before he said leisurely, "Cotton candy?"

He immediately corrected: "Turtle."

That being said, it does look like a tortoise.

Xia He smiled, and looked at him with almost gentle eyes, but when the other's eyes moved over, he turned his head coldly.

"Bite the hook, bite the hook."

At this moment, Gu Shengchui sat up and beckoned Xia He to get ready to take up the pole.He took the net and was ready to catch the fish in it at any time.

Xia He held the pole firmly, stood up, his palms began to sweat.He was both excited and nervous, after all, it was the first fish he caught in his life.Gu Sheng was on the side to guide and said: "Slow down, slow down."

So, he slowly pulled the fishing line to the shore, feeling a confrontational strength against himself.After almost reaching the shore, Gu Sheng carefully stretched the net into the water, with skillful and light movements, and smoothly pocketed the crucian carp into the net.

"Caught it!"

He held the fish in front of Xiahe's eyes, as if showing off, but also as if sharing the joy.He said: "I used to accompany my dad to fish in artificial breeding farms, and I could catch a bucket in one afternoon. It was the first time for wild fish like this."

Xia He's mood suddenly brightened, and the irritability caused by waiting disappeared in an instant.Immediately afterwards, the other pole also bit the bait, and there was another big fat fish, which was a good couple. Seeing this harvest, the two of them were as happy as children.It seems that the grudges formed in my heart due to unfamiliarity and festivals will also fall off and flow empty.

On the way back, I passed by that pool, which was still sparkling, and the striped stones at the bottom of the water were visible to the naked eye.

Gu Sheng stopped again, put down the bucket containing the fish, touched the sweat stains on his face that were about to dry up, turned his head and said to Xia He, "I want to jump down and take a bath."

Before Xia He could speak, he had already started to take off his shirt.The white T-shirt was thrown on the short tree branch, followed by the pair of gray-blue pants.He lifted his underwear and looked at Xia He: "Together?"

Xia He was stunned, maybe he didn't expect him to take off his clothes so fast without hesitation.

"Okay... okay."

After he hesitated to finish these two words, the other party jumped into the water with a plop.Water ripples floated on Gu Sheng's body, the cold water intertwined with the scorching skin, he couldn't help but let out a happy sound, that feeling was like drinking the first sip of ice soda after playing golf.

"Come down, it's comfortable."

He stroked his wet hair up, exposing his bright forehead. For some reason, Xia He felt that he was perfectly like a statue soaked in water.

Facing the invitation, he had no choice but to take off his clothes and step into the cold water.

"It's cool..."

He couldn't help shivering, but after his body got used to it, he felt an unprecedented sense of comfort.Gu Sheng swam to the other side and slapped him with water like a child playing.Seeing that Xia He had been tricked, he deliberately laughed twice, as if provocative.

Xia He endured it, but after making a fake gesture of raising his hand to wipe off the water droplets on his face, he also took advantage of the other party's unpreparedness and set off a wave of water spray with his hands.Immediately afterwards, the two happily started a water fight.

In the summer, there are noisy insects, under the blue sky, white clouds and the shade of trees, in the cool pool, the young man is trying his best to feel the beauty of nature.

After returning home, before Xia He was about to enter the house, Gu Sheng suddenly asked: "Do you have anything to do tonight?"

Without thinking, he said, "No."

"Then watch zombie movies at my place, I found a few new discs."

"You don't play cards anymore?"

Gu Sheng: "Don't fight, it's no fun to come with them. If you lose, you're old."

Xia He laughed out loud, and then said: "Let's talk about it." Then he stepped on the threshold and entered the house.
