Shimmer Forest

Yun Xi sat leisurely by the beach, the sea water gently lapped on the sand, splashing the black windbreaker wet.The dark sky is full of stars, and the sky is gently connected to the other end of the sea, outlining a peaceful and surging world.He closed his eyes, allowing time to freeze in the sound of the wind and the sea.

For him, the tranquility set off by the sound is more comfortable and beautiful.The silent death brings only fear, as if it will swallow people at any time.

When the consciousness was about to fall into darkness, a voice behind him floated into the ear, "Do you like the sea very much?"

It took him a lot of effort to discern whether the voice was real or his fantasy.There seemed to be something important missing in his body, and he became forgetful and hallucinated, so he no longer believed in any voice he heard or anyone he saw.

Su Jin has been quietly waiting for his answer, seems to be used to his occasional absence and long silence.During intermittent contact, he gradually understood Yun Xi's unusualness.

Perhaps as Wu Hao said, in the eyes of others, his behavior is somewhat abnormal.But what is normal?That's nothing but the shackles of "common sense" made by people themselves.

Maybe people can fly in the first place, but because there are too many shackles, they restrain the wings that can fly freely.

Yunxi is the one who can fly, he is different.

When Yunxi was exhausted by the lights and shadows interlaced with illusion and reality in his mind, he finally gave up thinking, and replied slowly and softly: "I can't say I like it, but this is the place where all life originated, and it is worthy of admiration and respect."

He is a person who is not good at communicating, and he is often at a loss in the crowd.Perhaps because of this, he can see the scenery that ordinary people can't see.In the beginning, he occasionally shared these views with others.Slowly, from other people's words and eyes looking at him, he noticed something strange.Since then, I have been silent, and no longer mention a few words about this wonderful world.

The beauty that does not exist in the world, is not perceived and accepted by the world, and is his exclusive scenery.

People began to lock him in that closed space and feed him large quantities of white pills every day.Day after day, day after day.

He looked up at the bright light that shone through a small gap in the house.The light gently sprinkled on the floor, and slowly spread, melting the narrow space into a vast, blue sea.

The moment he met the man in Tsing Yi, he felt that a certain part of his body was missing, empty and unable to be filled.

So desperately want to chase, want to catch.

Maybe it's because his obsession with the man in Tsing Yi is so strong that he doesn't care about anything else.

He is often at a loss and in a trance, his memory is very poor, and he always forgets many things.

Just like Su Jin in front of him, his face is very strange, but like this green sea, there is an inexplicable sense of nostalgia.

So he didn't resist.

Regarding the existence of the man in Tsing Yi, he never mentioned it to anyone.Because he knew that apart from a strange look, he couldn't get any understanding and support—even though he never needed these things.

But the incomprehensible person beside him made him believe that if he told him about the existence of that blue figure, he would easily accept it and firmly believed in it.

Not noticing the slight change in his expression, Su Jin sat in front of the easel and looked at the painting.

The turquoise clear sea is ingeniously integrated with the sky, and the regular color blocks spread out a peaceful and stable scenery.

Su Jin frowned suddenly, and he said, "In such a quiet place, there is no aura of the sea at all."

So Yun Xi also forgot the doubts before, and asked naturally, "Then what should the sea look like in your eyes?"

Su Jin didn't answer him directly, but asked instead: "Have you ever seen the sea under the setting sun?"

He has no impression or concept of the setting sun. The sea he sees is either as green as grass or as dark as death.What should the sea look like at sunset?Just thinking about it for a moment would cause a splitting headache, so he just shook his head numbly.

"When the setting sun slowly dissolves on the sea level, the whole sea is smudged into a dazzling red. The surging red reveals a scorching and exuberant breath of life. The afterglow is shrouded, and the floating light leaps into gold, spreading the warm color like fire. That is the symbol of life, the booming sea."

As he narrated in a low voice, the afterglow of the setting sun gradually unfolded in front of his eyes.The originally calm sea suddenly became choppy, rolling hot red waves.It was a magnificent sight he had never seen before.

He'd never been interested in such a warm color - in fact he hadn't been interested in anything at all.Those years of chasing the man in Tsing Yi have burned all his passion and obsession, leaving only a deserted color, which occupies the depths of his heart alone.He is a lunatic, but he can't see the distorted world in Van Gogh's eyes.All that man in Tsing Yi brought him was the dull peace and indifference day after day.

He's crazy so quiet and sober.

Someone cautiously called his name in the dense light, he suddenly recovered and saw Su Jin's blurred face under the setting sun.The golden light outlines a gentle outline, so quiet and stable.He wants to say, you are not suitable for red.But the words sounded so inexplicable and abrupt.

Su Jin just likes the red sea, the color itself has nothing to do with him.Just like Yunxi thinks at this time, red is not a color, it's just a feeling.Dazzling, warm, and indispensable.

like blood.

And this feeling is only for the person in front of him.

He couldn't explain his feelings at this time with words, so he just responded with a smile: "Are you sure you're not talking about magma?"

That was the first time Su Jin saw him smiling, gentle and clean, revealing the breath of sunshine.

It was so gentle that people couldn't help but want to indulge in it, and accidentally lost their words.

The silence was too sudden.Su Jin turned his eyes away, staring at the emerald sea of ​​grass surging with waves.When the wind blows, the sunlight overlaps and shatters with the microwaves, and the white dandelions slowly fly up from the grass, their transparent fluff shining brightly.

He heard Yunxi's voice, ethereal and soft, as if floating from a distant place.

Yun Xi said, I am more like that dandelion, drifting in the direction of the wind, unable to find my destination.

But dandelion has a destination after all, it will stop somewhere and take root.And where is my home?

He said, I feel lonely.So keep walking, keep walking.

He said, I have a hunch that only the man in Tsing Yi can fill my missing part.If I can hug him, maybe... I won't feel lonely anymore.

He said, Su Jin, tell me, what is it that I am missing?

After a brief silence, Su Jin fixed his eyes on him again, smiling gently.

What you lost doesn't need to be so hard to find.

He stretched out his hand, pointed to Yunxi's heart, and said word by word.

He is here with you.
