Blooming Romance

Chu Xun leaned against the railing on the banks of the Thames, and waited for Lin Yanchen to buy two cups of hot coffee to warm his hands. He looked at the river quietly. The wind blew his hair up. It grew a lot.

Lin Yanchen came back with two cups of coffee, like running errands, and apologized: "I kept you waiting for a long time."

Chu Xun took a cup of coffee, and the temperature seeped into his body from the palm of his hand, and said, "Are you tired? Let's sit and rest over there and talk."

Lin Yanchen took out a tissue and wiped the public bench courteously before letting Chu Xun sit down and said, "Shall I take you to archery in the afternoon? Have you ever played archery? Would you like to try it? It's quite interesting."

Chu Xun was out of interest, and nodded dispensably, and the two chatted without saying a word.

Fine flakes of snow fell from the sky.

Lin Yanchen saw Chu Xun raised his head, and the snowflakes fell on the tip of his reddish nose, and were instantly melted, turning into a small crystal drop of water.

Chu Xun said: "There is no way to shoot arrows now."

Lin Yanchen said: "Let's go home."

They got up to leave.

A man in a wool hat trotted to him with a piece of paper, no, it was a painting.

A pencil sketch of Chu Xun.

In the painting, he turned his face slightly, talking to Lin Yanchen with a smile, Chu Xun was stunned. When he looked at Xiao Lin, did he have such an expression?

Is it so gentle?

He himself does not know.

The author of the picture said: "Fifty pounds."

Chu Xun handed the painting back: "It's too expensive, you are buying and selling by force."

The painting was intercepted halfway, and Lin Yanchen said, "I'll buy it."

Chu Xun looked at him.

Lin Yanchen said: "You can't take pictures, so let me keep a picture, right? I will pay for it myself."

Even though he said that, Lin Yanchen was still worried that Chu Xun would disagree. Chu Xun looked at him and then at the painting.If it's just a photo, just press the delete button, it doesn't feel real, but it's a painting, it's a real thing, if you want to destroy it, you can only damage it... He couldn't bear it.

buy it.

However, you can’t just buy it so easily, it’s too embarrassing, Chu Xun bargained and said: “Fifty pounds is too expensive, thirty pounds.”

The painter shook his head and tried to argue: "No, fifty pounds, I think my painting is very good, you see, when you look at your lover full of love and melancholy, I have drawn all the details Well done, isn't it worth fifty pounds? I think it's cheap."

Chu Xun blushed suddenly, what does it mean to be "full of love"?He immediately turned his face: "I won't buy it."

Lin Yanchen hurriedly said, "I bought it."

To be honest, he has never bought such a cheap painting in his life. In his opinion, he is willing to pay for three or four zeros after the price.

Lin Yanchen still bought the painting for [-] pounds. He was very satisfied. He also spent a few more pounds to buy an old painting tube to protect the painting and hold it in his arms.

Chu Xun looked embarrassed, and said awkwardly: "You are really spending money recklessly, you are still stupid, and you were deceived."

Lin Yanchen kissed him suddenly: "I like it very much."

Chu Xun was unprepared, and when he kissed him, he said, "I told you not to do this on the street."

Lin Yanchen was taught obediently: "Oh, let's go back and I'll kiss again, as long as I can."

Early the next morning.

Chu Xun got up early, wiped off the white mist on the window, and saw that the originally lush green courtyard was covered with silver overnight.

When he woke up, he didn't find Lin Yanchen lying beside him.

Where did Lin Yanchen go?

Chu Xun changed his clothes and left the bedroom.

But this house was scary, he didn't know where to find Lin Yanchen.

Chu Xun wandered in the corridor in a daze. It was ice and snow outside, but flowers were placed on the table in the warm room. This was a very strange scene, and Chu Xun stopped.

Chu Xun hesitated, and even wondered if meeting Lin Yanchen was a dream he had, maybe it was just a dream when he was dying, and only in dreams would such a cute and young boy fall in love with him, but dreams and reality Where is the difference?Reality is the world space in which man lives. If he never wakes up and lives in this dream, can this dream be called reality?

Chu Xun was distracted when a living person suddenly appeared beside him.

The housekeeper Ed floated to his side like a shadow: "Good afternoon, Mr. Chu. Please follow me."

Chu Xun asked, "Where are you going?"

Ed said respectfully: "You will know as soon as you come with me."

Chu Xun followed Ai De, and Ai De handed him a coat and gloves, and opened the door for him: "Mr. Lin is waiting for you."

Chu Xun was fully dressed, not knowing why, he frowned slightly, and went outside, the snow was not deep enough to reach his ankles.

Chu Xun looked left and right, not to mention Lin Yanchen's figure, he didn't see anyone nearby, which was strange.What about Xiao Lin?That masked butler doesn't look like he's lying.

At this time, Chu Xun finally heard a different sound.

thump thump, thump thump, thump thump.

Where did I hear it?Chu Xun thought for a while, then remembered, it was the sound of horseshoes.

Chu Xun turned his head and saw a small black figure approaching in the distance. Lin Yanchen came riding a white horse on snow. He was dressed in black and red riding clothes, like a cluster of fire.

Lin Yanchen reined in his horse and stopped in front of him with a bright smile: "Ah Xun!"

Handsome is very handsome, but Chu Xun frowned and asked suspiciously: "You... ran to ride a horse early in the snowy day?"

Lin Yanchen was stunned for a moment, and asked back: "Am I not a good rider? Isn't it cool to ride a white horse in snowy weather?"

Chu Xun realized it later, and smiled: "Don't tell me, you just secretly got up so early to ride a horse to surprise me just to look handsome. Are you a child?"

Lin Yanchen was poked in the center of his mind, but he was not annoyed, and said frankly: "Children are not as good at riding as I am."

Ask again: "Do you want to ride?"

Chu Xun refused without hesitation: "No, the weather is so cold, the snowy road is slippery, it's so dangerous, I don't want to play, I want to go back to the stove."

Lin Yanchen got off his horse, Chu Xun walked over, took off his gloves, and squeezed his face with warm hands: "Look at your face, it's frozen."

Lin Yanchen was led by Chu Xun back to the big house.

It was almost noon, they had lunch, and Lin Yanchen asked: "The snow has stopped, are you still going to play archery?"

Chu Xun still said: "It's cold, don't go. Just stay with me."

Lin Yanchen thought about it too, so he said, "Okay, then let's play games."

Chu Xun felt that the time he was with Lin Yanchen was also the time when he played video games the most. When he was a child, the Internet was not well developed, and his friends would go to Internet cafes and game halls to play games. Don’t look at him like this, in fact, he is underage Shi also secretly went to play a few times. He was cautious and controlled his time. He was never discovered by his parents and teachers. Everyone still thought he was a good boy and a model student.Thinking about it now, in fact, there has always been a rebellious factor buried in his body, but it just didn't have a chance to flare up before.When he was in his teens and 20s, he also loved playing games, but he was too busy after work, so there was no time to play games.

A few days ago, he had a foot injury in the hospital, so he played games with Xiao Lin day and night.Even if he doesn't go out, he is very happy to be with Xiao Lin.

But today, Chu Xun really couldn't be happy.

After playing a few games, Lin Yanchen gradually realized that Chu Xun was depressed and not in high spirits today. He didn't know why he was unhappy, and asked, "What's wrong with you? Are you feeling unwell?"

Chu Xun cheered up and smiled reluctantly at him: "No, it's not your fault. I'm a little dizzy, and I want to take a nap."

Chu Xun felt that this was not good for him.

It is said that people become drowsy when faced with insoluble problems, which is the body's subconscious escape from reality.

He originally slept until almost eleven o'clock, but after only two or three hours, he was sleepy again, and fell asleep until five o'clock with his head covered, and the sky outside began to gradually darken.

Lin Yanchen woke him up to eat, he just woke up, his body was a little hot, Lin Yanchen touched his forehead worriedly, and said suspiciously: "I think you are sick, I will find a doctor for you."

Chu Xun said, "I don't think it's anything. I'm just tired and want to sleep. Get a thermometer and I'll take your temperature."

The body temperature was slightly higher, but within the normal range, Chu Xun said, "Look, I'm not sick."

Lin Yanchen said absurdly: "Then going downstairs to eat is also very tiring. I'll ask someone to bring the food in. Let's eat on the bed."

This is too lazy, Chu Xun shook his head: "No, I'll get up."

Chu Xun felt that his appetite was not good. He didn't seem to have a good appetite recently. A few days ago, he thought it was because he was on the road, but he had been in the manor for three days.He doesn't get motion sickness or airsickness, and he has a good appetite in the first few days when he started traveling.

An ominous premonition came to my mind... I can't hide it after all.

Chu Xun only ate a little bit, and he was thinking about how to talk to Lin Yanchen.

Or, let’s talk about it tomorrow.

Tomorrow, let's talk tomorrow morning.

In the end, Lin Yanchen asked him dissatisfiedly: "Ah Xun, what's the matter? What are you hiding from me?"

Chu Xun hesitated, and said, "It's nothing...I'll talk to you tomorrow."

Lin Yanchen was angry: "Say it now! Otherwise I won't be able to sleep."

There was a sudden silence in the room save for the crackling of pine logs burning in the fireplace.

Chu Xun lowered his eyelashes, and the soft light enveloped his face. He sighed and said helplessly, "Didn't you pay attention? Xiao Lin, today is January 1."

Lin Yanchen didn't react for a moment: "What's wrong?"

Chu Xun said unhurriedly: "On the 26th of last month, we made an appointment to be together for a month... four weeks to be precise."

He didn't know why he felt uncomfortable as if his heart was being grabbed when he said this.

Lin Yanchen felt as if he had been slapped in the face. He had so much fun these days that he forgot to count the days, and suddenly panicked: "Is the four days of your injury and recuperation counted? I don't think it should be counted."

But Chu Xun said: "Why not? I didn't let you go on vacation in those few days. You have been with me all the time, and I am very satisfied."

Lin Yanchen frowned: "I don't think it should be counted."

Hearing his shamelessness, Chu Xun smiled and shook his head: "Xiao Lin, don't act like this."

He worked up his strength to stand up, walked to Lin Yanchen's side, and took Lin Yanchen's hand. Lin Yanchen looked down at him, and Chu Xun saw his own image reflected in those eyes, and his heart softened.

Chu Xun smiled, and said softly and gratefully, "Xiao Lin, I have had a very happy time these days."

"Thank you for being with me, it's time, I should go."
