Castle Peak

Before Cheng Xiaoshu went home, he asked Jiang Jiayu to go to the movies, literary films, love.

The male and female protagonists look plain, and the storyline is simple, but it is quite memorable. The theme of the movie is to bid farewell to the past, to bid farewell to one's own past, and to bid farewell to some things deep in memory.

When Cheng Xiaoshu saw the ending, tears were already in his eyes. After the subtitles ended, the audience began to leave the stage one after another. The two of them sat in the back seats. The audience for this movie was not too many. After walking, only the two of them were left in the auditorium.

The overhead light came on, and Jiang Jiayu turned his head to look at Cheng Xiaoshu.

Cheng also turned to look at her.

Speechless for a while.

Jiang Jiayu reached out to wipe the tears on Cheng's face. At that moment, she suddenly realized that the tears were warm. Cheng's tears fell on the back of her palms, and the temperature was conveyed to her.

Jiang Jiayu slowly lowered his hand.

Cheng was a little embarrassed, lowered his head and began to pack his bags, then stood up, turned his face away, did not look at Jiang Jiayu, and said in a hoarse voice, "Let's... let's go."

"Okay." Jiang Jiayu walked behind Cheng, and the two walked out of the screening room one after the other.

As soon as we left the theater, the temperature dropped a lot. In some years, this city in the southeast even had a few heavy snowfalls.

"Cold?"

Jiang Jiayu put his hands in his coat pockets, turned his head to look at Cheng Xiaoshu who was a head shorter than him.

"Fortunately."

It was past nine o'clock in the evening, and perhaps the two of them were about to say goodbye.

"Well, then..."

Cheng probably wanted to say goodbye to himself.

Jiang Jiayu interrupted the other party with a smile.

"I have a few words to tell you, Xiaoshu."

"Huh?" Cheng's face was a little red from the wind, and the temperature was really low.

Jiang Jiayu looked at the pedestrians coming and going beside him, and said, "Let's talk in the car."

Jiang Jiayu turned on the heater in the car, Cheng Xiaoshu took off his scarf, and exhaled lightly.

"I want...to confess something to you first."

Cheng lowered his eyes and said nothing.

Jiang Jiayu glanced at the person in the co-pilot, "I didn't intend to say it now, many things are not prepared, and the timing may not be right."

Cheng Xiaoshu's eyelashes trembled.

"But I'm worried. I'm afraid that many things will change after you come back after the Chinese New Year."

"So Xiao Shu, I chose to talk to you now."

"I'm not interested in the opposite sex." Cheng Xiaoshu really looked up at her, and Jiang Jiayu looked at her seriously, "I like the same sex."

"Don't be afraid, I mean, I won't hurt you."

"I like you."

"Will you reject this feeling?"

Cheng Xiaoshu didn't nod or shake his head.

After a while, she opened her mouth, her voice was very weak and low, "I'm sorry."

Jiang Jiayu's heart was hanging until she said these words, but after hearing these three words, she suddenly became cold.

She felt a little dizzy now, but she still looked calm, but she held the steering wheel tightly for a moment.

"It's okay, I can understand...Then, I'll take you home."

Cheng Xiaoshu went on to say, "I'm very confused, I..."

Jiang Jiayu smiled consolingly at the other party, "I'm sorry to bother you, don't think so much, I hope we can still be friends, if you don't mind."

"Do not......"

The light in Jiang Jiayu's eyes dimmed.

It turns out that it's hard to even be friends...

"I mean, it's not like that, it's not annoying, it's just that I don't know how to respond to you right now."

"I think you will be willing to tell me this. You must have made a lot of determination and are very brave, but it is a bit too sudden for me."

"Anyway, thank you very much."

After Jiang Jiayu heard the last sentence, he understood the other party's attitude in his heart, and his chest was tight, but he was not so depressed.

"Then, can you put what happened just now aside, I'll take you home first."

"Doctor, I think, I also have something to tell you."

"Huh?" Jiang Jiayu's tone was gentle, and even a particle word was said slowly.

"I'm not sure about my orientation, I mean, because I haven't had a deep emotional experience before, I did have a relationship in college, and the other party was the opposite sex."

Jiang Jiayu vaguely understood what Cheng Xiaoshu wanted to express.

"But that feeling may not be the definition of love, so I broke up with the other party when I graduated."

"Hmm." Jiang Jiayu didn't make too many comments, but simply responded.

"What I mean by this is that I might be bisexual and that might create insecurities for a future partner."

"No, Xiao Shu," Jiang Jiayu didn't agree with the other party's point of view, so she interrupted, at this time she realized that although she did like the other party, the difference between the two could not be ignored.

"I think whether you are gay, straight or bisexual, no matter what gender you like, as long as you meet a lover that you can spend your whole life with, other people will no longer be your choice."

"The only one is just the only one. It has nothing to do with what kind of person you belong to, I think."

Cheng Xiaoshu looked at each other with a wry smile.

Jiang Jiayu lowered his head, a strand of hair fell from his ear.

"You may think my views are too idealistic, but I am willing to set the people I like to be able to do this, and so am I."

"Doctor, you are a little different from what I imagined."

"Is it worse?" Jiang Jiayu avoided the other party's gaze, which made her nervous.

"No, as a matter of fact, I thought the doctor was round, but actually, the doctor has rhizomes and horns."

Jiang Jiayu was amused for a moment.

Cheng Xiaoshu suddenly became serious again.

"Not only that, but the doctor doesn't know me very well, does he? Maybe I'm not what the doctor imagined, or even the opposite."

"I can't be as clear as a doctor, and often choose to escape and compromise."

"I can't promise you anything now, because I don't know if I can do it."

Jiang Jiayu stared at the world outside the windshield, "This road is not easy to walk, you can confess yourself like this, it is a performance of being responsible to us."

At this time, both of them fell silent tacitly.

"Adventure, is it better to be alone, or with a companion?"

Cheng Xiaoshu asked suddenly.

"Stupid question." Jiang Jiayu turned to look at the other party and smiled, but his heart moved.

"Don't make any decisions driven by impulsive emotions," she leaned over to fasten the seat belt for each other, "we all give each other some time."

Jiang Jiayu's breath was so close, Cheng Xiaoshu reached out and pinched the fallen lock of hair between her fingers, her fingers touched the other's soft cheek, Jiang Jiayu's movements were suffocated.

"Then, see you next year."

Xie Cen's throat was still dry and sore, Jiang Jiayu raised her chin, "Open your mouth, let me see," Xie Cen followed, Jiang Jiayu bent the corners of his mouth, with some helplessness, "Tonsils are inflamed, have you taken the medicine yet?" ?”

The other party shook his head, and said with difficulty, "Go get the medicine after the lunch break."

"Don't force yourself to talk," Jiang Jiayu raised his hand and glanced at his watch, "Take a break later, and I'll accompany you to the pharmacy."

Xie Cen wanted to shake his head and refuse, but Jiang Jiayu pressed him on the chair, "Don't go to the ward now, sit down and drink some hot water."

Seeing that Xie Cen was still full of hesitation, Jiang Jiayu continued, "You don't want me to accompany you, so I have to go and talk to Yu Nian about what to do if the students don't listen to the teacher."

Xie Cen really stopped refusing, and sat there obediently.

Jiang Jiayu smiled with the corners of her mouth curled up, and happened to have nothing to do at hand, so she lowered her head and sent a text message to Yu Nian.

"Xie Cen is sick."

The other party's text message came back in a second, and Jiang Jiayu was secretly happy in her heart. Sure enough, no matter who is touched by the word love, it will change, and Yu Nian is no exception.

"what happened?"

"Tonsils are inflamed, what did you ask her to eat, why did you eat the student and made her sick."

She couldn't help but make a joke.

"I'll go see you at noon."

Jiang Jiayu looked at Xie Cen, who was also in a daze, with his cheeks propped up, and said after a while, "Yu Nian is behind you."

Xie Cen didn't realize what Jiang Jiayu said at first, but when he understood, he was taken aback, and hurriedly stood up to see if there was anyone at the door.

There is no one at all.

Xie Cen didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "Teacher Jiang can also play tricks on people."

"Don't believe me? Look back again."

Xie Cen looked at Jiang Jiayu's serious face, not sure if it was true or not, so he hesitated and turned around.

As expected, Yu Nian was standing by the door with her arms folded, looking at her quietly.

The author has something to say: Maybe he is still not very good at telling stories.
