Monsoon

"I can only blame myself for making you take a lot of detours. I can't care about the flowers blooming on the side of the road, and I can't smell the freshest sea breeze in spring. I can't even find a place to hide from the belated rain,"

——Fang Tang

The rain flowed down the eaves and dripped into the bucket. The water in the bucket was full and overflowed, and flowed along the cement trough. In the yard, there was a small pit on the ground, and the little wild dog of the village was left in the mud. The footprints that have been here.

Fang Tang washed the dishes, took off the apron and put it back in the bedroom, stepped into the door, only to find that Ji Chi had fallen asleep on the newly made bed, with his back against the wall, hugging the pillow in his arms, facing the door sideways, No sound.

Fang Tang took a quilt from the cabinet, unfolded it, and put it on him. Ji Chi's eyes moved slightly, but he didn't wake up.

Fang Tang moved a chair from the house and went out, sat under the eaves and looked up at the sky. The dark clouds had not dispersed, and gradually gathered more and more, and it seemed that they would not stop for a while. The falling water droplets moistened his hands for a while, and he put his hands on his face, feeling the faint coolness from his palms, so that his mind would clear up.

He reached into his trousers pocket, found no cigarettes, frowned, then touched his coat pocket, and found nothing.It suddenly occurred to me that the cigarette was left in the rented room without him.

Fang Tang got up and took out the umbrella that grandpa often used from the warehouse. The handle of the umbrella was severely corroded. He opened the umbrella with all his strength, and the small holes on the top let out light.

Fang Tang only glanced at the bedroom, opened an umbrella and walked out of the yard.

On rainy days, the sea is at high tide, the waves beat against the rocks, making loud noises, the sand turns dark yellow, and white mist rises from the sea and sky in the distance, and the mist gradually moves towards the shore, covering the sea with a layer of white. yarn.

People in the village tied their boats to the harbor with hemp ropes. The paint on the old hulls was peeled off and covered with spots.They bumped into each other and floated on the surface of the water, covered by clear plastic sheets in the fishermen's own homes.

Fang Tang stood by the seaside, looking at the place where the white mist rose, the rain from the top of the umbrella fell on his hair, and he just stood quietly in a daze.

This place was remote, and there was no one there when it rained. He could even hear the fish swimming swiftly in this unsettled sea.

After standing for an indeterminate amount of time, the breath of the sea breeze has already filled the nostrils.

"Fang Tang."

A voice came from behind.

He turned around and found Ji Chi standing behind him. Ji Chi's hair was covered with small drops of water, and his coat was also soaked.

Fang Tang walked over to him, and handed over the umbrella to cover Ji Chi, and the two squeezed under the umbrella, getting close to each other.

"Why are you here?" Fang Tang asked.

"Woke up and found you were not there, looking for you." Ji Chi shook the water from his hair with a smile, and a few drops of water floated onto Fang Tang's face.

"Let's go back."

Fang Tang wanted to wipe off the water droplets on his face with his hands, Ji Chi held his wrist, pressed it down, and then slowly scratched Fang Tang's face with his other hand, wiping the water for him: "Back Where?" The voice was low.

Fang Tang looked up into Ji Chi's eyes with a complicated expression.

Ji Chi's eyes were shining, and Fang Tang could clearly see himself in the deep black.

The rain was pattering on the umbrella, Fang Tang didn't answer.

A gust of wind blew the rain over, Ji Chi unbuttoned his coat, took another step forward, and wrapped Fang Tang in, Fang Tang's face was buried in Ji Chi's shoulder, and the hot air he exhaled sprayed out in bursts.

Fang Tang was holding an umbrella with one hand, while the other was hanging stiffly by his side.

"Where are you going?" Ji Chi asked again.

"Go home."

After a while, as if remembering something, Fang Tang finally smiled, "Thank you."

Fang Tang's smile is simple and pure, as if washed by rainwater, his face is slightly flushed, his expression is relaxed and true, and there is a shallow pear dimple at the corner of his mouth, like discovering a treasure that has been buried in the sea for many years. Heart skipped a beat.

He lowered his head slowly, and couldn't help but move his lips towards the pear dimple at the corner of Fang Tang's mouth. He wanted to taste it to see if it was sweet.

A little closer, cautiously.

Unexpectedly, Fang Tang noticed Ji Chi's movement, and suddenly took a step back, broke free from Ji Chi's embrace, put the umbrella on top of Ji Chi's head, and stood in the rain by himself.

"Don't do that." Fang Tang said.

Ji Chi stopped and froze for a moment, Fang Tang's hair gradually fell from the rain, and his clothes gradually became wet.

Ten seconds later, he stretched out his hand and pushed the umbrella in front of Fang Tang, and smiled: "Don't get wet, go back."

Ji Chi turned around and walked into the rain, leaving Fang Tang where he was.

Fang Tang was heating hot water in the kitchen, and Ji Chi was sitting outside the room under the eaves.

They haven't spoken since they came back, and the atmosphere is very weird.

Fang Tang looked at the burning fire in a daze, the water boiled, and after boiling for a while, he poured cold water into the pot again, and continued to wait for another round of water to boil.

I don't know how long it took, Fang Tang saw from the small window on the roof that the sky was getting dark outside, gritted his teeth, and put the noodles into the pot, the hard and dry noodles immediately became soft.

Ji Chi was sitting at the table when he brought out the prepared noodles.

"I only have noodles at home, sorry." Fang Tang wiped the chopsticks with paper and handed them to Ji Chi.

Ji Chi didn't answer it, but Fang Tang saw that he was holding a notebook in his hand through the faint light.

"What is this?" Ji Chi looked at Fang Tang, and lifted up the thing in his hand.

Fang Tang walked over and put the chopsticks on the bowl: "Notepad."

"Since the first money I gave you, have you recorded it like this?"

"Yes."

"Detailed to every piece and every corner?"

"I will pay you back in the future." Fang Tang sat calmly opposite Ji Chi.

"No need to pay it back." Ji Chi said seriously.

"I don't like being in debt."

Ji Chi slapped the notebook heavily on the table: "I am... someone else?"

"Yes.".

"Fang Tang, you are going too far." Ji Chi was silent for a while, and his voice became very cold.

Suddenly, he picked up the notepad, tore up the pages written by Fang Tang, and threw them aside forcefully, the scraps of paper floated in the air and fell back to the ground.

Fang Tang looked up at Ji Chi, his expression unchanged, as if all this had nothing to do with him.

That's what made the person in front of him even more annoyed.

"I want to tell you if I am someone else." It is like a notification that cannot be refused.

Ji Chi stood up, walked to Fang Tang, grabbed Fang Tang's wrist, and pulled hard, Fang Tang was forced to stand up, staggered, and before he could stand still, he was dragged towards the bedroom. direction to go.

Fang Tang didn't struggle, and followed Ji Chi into the guest room.

As soon as he entered the room, Ji Chi threw Fang Tang onto the bed forcefully. He leaned on him, pressed Fang Tang down, and looked down at him.

Looking at each other, Ji Chi ravaged Fang Tang's face with his eyes.

Slowly, Ji Chi stretched out his hand to Fang Tang, and with gentle movements, he went to unbutton his jacket, starting from the top carefully.

He was observing Fang Tang's face, but the people below him didn't show any expression, their eyes widened as if they were in a daze.Let him unbutton all the buttons, then slide his hand in.

He rubbed all the way, and walked to Fang Tang's waist, Fang Tang trembled slightly.

"what happened?"

Ji Chi lowered his head and asked in a low voice in Fang Tang's ear.

Fang Tang laughed lightly.

"Fang Tang, do you know what I'm going to do?" The nasal laugh made Ji Chi frowned, and he wanted to ask Fang Tang if he was sober now.

"I know." Fang Tang replied.

"what do you think?"

"It doesn't matter." Fang Tang stretched out his hand to Ji Chi, and smoothly undid the top buttons of Ji Chi, "Those who are kept should have this kind of awareness."

Fang Tang continued to unbutton Ji Chi's jacket: "I won't blame you either."

Ji Chi's heart seemed to be stabbed hard, and he was at a loss for a while.

Finally, he sighed and pressed Fang Tang's hand: "Stop."

Fang Tang's hands paused in the air, and finally put them on both sides of his body, closing his eyes.

Ji Chi clearly felt that Fang Tang's tense body relaxed.

"We'll sleep in this bed tonight."

After Ji Chi finished speaking, he got up from the bed and left the bedroom.

Walking back to the table, I looked at the seafood noodles that had run out of soup and turned into dough. The bowl was sprinkled with light yellow light, and the oil and water were also shining.Ji Chi slowly picked up the chopsticks and stuffed the noodles into his mouth, unable to taste the taste.

Fang Tang never came out of the bedroom.

While eating, the rain stopped, and the sound of rain hitting the eaves gradually disappeared, and everything was quiet.

Ji Chi sat under the eaves for a long time, and when he returned to the bedroom, Fang Tang had already fallen asleep and curled up in a corner.

He covered Fang Tang with the quilt and got into bed himself.

"Good night." Ji Chi said, and then turned off the light.

There was no light around the village, and Ji Chi couldn't see his five fingers when he stretched out his hand. Did the neighbor's dog bark twice, and he could still hear a long echo from a distance.

He didn't sleep well, and after a long time his mind was still sober, he turned around gently, and let himself face Fang Tang, he opened his eyes to see clearly.

"Don't come near me." Fang Tang said lightly in the darkness.

Ji Chi didn't know if he was talking in his sleep.

But Ji Chi gently moved a little further away from Fang Tang.

"Ji Chi."

The man sitting opposite was in a neat suit.He raised his legs and brought a cup of coffee to his mouth.

"Have you spent enough time outside?" Ji Chi smiled.

"How did you talk to me?"

"I was wrong, Ji Xiao."

Ji Xiao cast a sharp look, Ji Chi curled his lips: "Brother."

"Ji Chi, you know what I'm going to do when I come back this time."

Ji Xiao put the coffee on the table.

"Yeah." Ji Chi replied, "It's still urgent, and asked me out before I got off the plane before I could go home."

"I don't want my parents to know about this."

"You are bound to win this time?" Ji Chi asked.

"Yes, he must be caught."

"Brother, he still can't forget you, but I've followed suit." Ji Chi smiled half-smile, and waited for Ji Xiao's reaction after finishing speaking.

"Is your kid in need of a beating again?"

"Don't dare." Ji Chi paused, "A while ago you won another fighting championship of your team, right?"

"Yeah." Ji Xiao put the coffee on the table, took out his cell phone from his pocket, and said, "Look, our head, the one who doesn't like me the most, he personally presented the award to me, and there are reporters taking pictures so I have to laugh, Look at his face is stiff."

"Hahaha, you must have reported to your superiors and asked your leaders to present you with awards."

"My little brother, you have learned to be bad, but you have also learned to be smart." Ji Xiao laughed.

"Let's not talk about me, let's talk about you and your family." Ji Xiao put the phone back in his bag.

"say what?"

"How are you?"

Ji Chi shook his head: "It's nothing."

"No, you told me that you were together last time you called."

"He doesn't like me."

"How normal is this, you scare people."

"so what should I do?"

"You ask me who am I going to ask?" Ji Xiao smiled helplessly.

Ji Chi thought for a while, and finally said, "Let's change the subject."

Ji Xiao nodded, put his legs down, and approached Ji Chi: "The two of you contact me directly for this big case. I am your liaison officer. Your daily liaison officer, Bureau Lin, is now my direct subordinate. In a few days, after I finish the handover, you can make an appointment with your family, let's have a meal, and then talk about the specifics."

"it is good."

"You should have a brief understanding of Zhang Xiang." Ji Xiao frowned, "He's a pervert."

"Brother, you didn't tell me about your past." Ji Chi said, "I don't know much about it."

Ji Chi remembered that when Ji Xiao was studying, he already knew a man named Zhang Xiang. He was still young at that time, and he didn't know why Ji Xiao always threw things when his parents were not at home, and rushed to catch him when his parents came back. Tidy up the house before arriving home.He asked many times, but Ji Xiao never told him.

"In the future, I will gradually understand, and you don't care about my past affairs."

"I will know one day." Ji Chi smiled.

"Let's talk later."

Ji Xiao looked out the window at the road, and there were people coming and going in a hurry.

"Ji Chi, this is your only chance, take advantage of it."

"I will, brother."
