Euthanasia

That night, Liu Zhiwei and Jon danced to the music until the end.The planetesimals in the whole sky were shining brightly, illuminating the small square with only three lights.

Before midnight, Jon and Liu Zhiwei got on the Ferris wheel that was still open late at night.That is the only project in the entire park that is still open at zero o'clock.

There was no one in the front and rear gondolas, and when the gondolas were raised to the highest point, Jon lifted his mobile phone up.Say "Happy Birthday" a second time.The time on the phone was 00:00, and Jon held an ordinary-looking card in his other hand.

Liu Zhiwei's attention was all attracted by that card. "What's this?"

Jon motioned for him to take the card.

Liu Zhiwei then took it.I saw the hurricane logo on the front of the card, and his photo and name on the back.

"This is mine." Jon said and took out his card from his chest pocket.That card was the same as Liu Zhiwei's, with Jon's face and name on it, and an extra line of job titles.

Liu Zhiwei slowly understood: "This is from a hurricane..."

"Plainly speaking, this is the Hurricane's access control card," Jon said, "but now that the headquarters has replaced the equipment, you can use this card to get a new watch, which records more data and is used to call and resources at the disposal of the hurricane."

Liu Zhiwei froze for a moment: "What are you doing for me..."

"You're a member of the Hurricane, and it's long overdue," Jon said. "I want to invite you to the Hurricane."

Liu Zhiwei was flattered: "But I'm just a layman...I'm not a staff member..."

"The headquarters of the hurricane." Jon added without thinking.

Liu Zhiwei was stunned for a while while maintaining the "I" mouth shape: "What did you say?"

"I want to invite you to the headquarters of Hurricane," Jon said, "after all, you are also a major shareholder of it now."

"...The headquarters of the hurricane is in the United States." Liu Zhiwei seemed to want to remind Jon.

"And then?" Jon turned his wide and upright eyes to the sky.

"You want me to go to America?"

"I want you to take a look at the empire I built." Jon changed to a suffocating statement that Liu Zhiwei could not refuse.

"But..." Liu Zhiwei couldn't cope.

"You said your next film would start in August," Jon said, "and you have an audition in June, so you have two months or so off."

Liu Zhiwei: "...Although I said so..."

"Think of it as travel," Jon said persuasively. "You said that one of the three most important things in your future is travel. Why don't you start enjoying life in advance?"

Liu Zhiwei was faintly moved.

"In order to strengthen your determination," Jon took out two more pieces of paper from his pocket, "the air ticket for July [-]."

Liu Zhiwei almost knelt down for Jon's unreasonable playing of cards again.

"I may have something urgent," Liu Zhiwei said, "an urgent announcement, and I need to prepare in advance for the filming at the end of August, and I may also participate in some variety shows..."

"Plenty of time," Jon said, "we're only going for a week."

Liu Zhiwei hesitated for a while, then took the ticket from Jon.

"Okay, just go for a week."

Jon cheered when Liu Zhiwei took the ticket, and then he said: "You need a suitcase, you need beach pants and sandals, you need..."

"Wait, wait," Liu Zhiwei stopped him immediately, "Isn't the headquarters of Hurricane in New York?"

"Yes, in New York."

"Why do you need board shorts..."

"Don't you want to go to the beach for vacation?" Jon blinked, "We can go surfing, I have a yacht next to Boston..."

Liu Zhiwei: "..."

Before they got off the Ferris wheel, Jon had already thought of almost everything that could be played, and those schedules were impossible to complete within a week according to Liu Zhiwei.But the ticket had already been booked, Liu Zhiwei simply let go of those things that he would have thought about over and over again.

"Where do you want to go tomorrow?"

"Want to go to your school," Jon said. "I want to see where you grew up."

"My university is in this city, you know, I will pass by it on the way to the hospital."

"I want to see your high school," Jon said, "that was your happiest time, wasn't it?"

Liu Zhiwei froze for a moment: "My high school...is in a city near my hometown...that's far away."

"The whole earth is very small, not too far away." Jon said.

Liu Zhiwei thought for a while and said, "Okay, let's go home and buy the bus tickets now."

"Ticket? Why not fly?"

"The airport is far from there. It takes a long time to take a bus to the airport. It's better to take the train to the city directly." Liu Zhiwei explained, pushing Jon to the side of the car.

While Liu Zhiwei was driving, Jon first searched for the ticket by himself.

"Where is the destination?"

"City B." Liu Zhiwei said, "There is only one train station, not far from my school."

Jon quickly booked the ticket.As Liu Zhiwei said, the past is far away and it took a long time.The five-hour train journey meant that even if they left at five in the morning, they would have to arrive at ten in the morning.

Liu Zhiwei asked, "What time did you book the ticket?"

"Seven," said Jon, "that's as early as I can get up."

"You will get up earlier than that on the seven o'clock train." Liu Zhiwei reminded.

"...Oh, shit." Jon blurted out after a while.

Liu Zhiwei couldn't help laughing: "You can start to sleep, tomorrow morning I will transport you from the bed to the car to sleep, and then transport you from the car to the train."

"My body is yours." Jon said naturally, when Liu Zhiwei started the car and drove for 5 minutes, he found that Jon had fallen asleep.

Jon has been running all day. He is not in such a strong physical condition now, and the amount of activity this day is a bit too much for him.

Liu Zhiwei turned down the music on the radio and turned down the fan of the air conditioner.

Liu Zhiwei realized that he hadn't seen Jon when he fell asleep for a long time.Ever since his work and career started getting busy, he hasn't had that much time for Jon.Although he still shared the bed with Jon at night, he always left before Jon.Jon squeezed so many activities into such a short time only because Liu Zhiwei only gave him two days.

The car quickly stopped downstairs.Liu Zhiwei looked at Jon in the passenger seat.

Jon was very peaceful when he fell asleep, and his whole body was relaxed.His brown eyelashes are long and cast a fan-shaped shadow under the eye socket.

His hair is a little disheveled and hasn't been smoothed since the rollercoaster ride began, but that doesn't stop him from being handsome.

Liu Zhiwei looked at the time, it was one o'clock in the morning.Jon moved uncomfortably because of the seat belt.Liu Zhiwei thought about what love is for a while.

Love is never the same as family affection. It is mixed with a little passion, a little fantasy, and a lot of hormones.But when the hormones subside, love can never become pure family affection, because it also contains a strong possessive desire.

When Liu Zhiwei first met Jon, he thought he was dreaming.He never thought that he and Jon would have the relationship they have today.He still had doubts about Jon's feelings for him, but he couldn't stop himself from acknowledging his inner thoughts now.

—Jon met and far exceeded his fantasies.He is handsome, successful, passionate and unrestrained.He can discuss sex and love without pretentiousness, can accept the advent of love calmly, and does not think about the consequences of future failure or separation.This is what Liu Zhiwei could not do before.

If you don't directly ask if you like Jon, or if you love Jon, Liu Zhiwei asks himself in another way:

"Would you like to hold Jon's hand?"

"Would you like to take the initiative to kiss Jon?"

"Do you have throbbing and sexual fantasies about him?"

"Yes." Liu Zhiwei said to himself.

"Do you like living with him?"

"Have you imagined your future?"

"Do you accept and love all his flaws?"

"Yes." Liu Zhiwei said to himself again.

Then suddenly he figured it out.

He patted Jon on the shoulder and said to the confused Jon, "Jon, we're here."

Jon opened his eyes and looked at Liu Zhiwei blankly for a while: "Where are you?"

"Got home."

Liu Zhiwei carried Jon down and brought him upstairs, and Jon fell asleep again after touching the pillow.

It turned out that they missed the [-]:[-] am train in the end.

It was already ten o'clock in the morning when Jon woke up yelling.

"It's not too late for us to go now." Liu Zhiwei, who was preparing breakfast and lunch, said leisurely wearing an apron.

"It's too late to get there!" Jon quickly jumped out of bed.

"We can stay there overnight and come back tomorrow." Liu Zhiwei said casually, and handed a fried egg to Jon who was in a hurry.

Jon stared blankly at the fried egg: "What did you say? Come back tomorrow?"

"What do you think of extending the holiday to three days?" Liu Zhiwei said.

Jon gave a loud cheer.He Xilihulu ate fried eggs, and quickly booked a ticket half an hour later, making preparations for the trip more actively than Liu Zhiwei.

Liu Zhiwei took off his apron and pushed him out the door.

The weather was fine and the temperature was just right. The train was driving neither fast nor slow. After leaving the city, it entered a farmland.Jon sat by the window looking at the large expanses of gold and green outside, and kept taking pictures with the camera in his hand.

"It's the winter jasmine flower," Liu Zhiwei said, "it means welcoming spring in Chinese."

"What? All of them?" Jon turned his head.

"The big ones are rape blossoms," Liu Zhiwei said. "When I went back to my hometown in the spring, I would go to the fields with my elders. Those rape blossoms grew taller than me."

The train passed several farmlands and cities with different scenery one after another, and Liu Zhiwei told Jon a small thing every time he passed one.

"I used to take time to sneak back to my hometown before and after the Chinese New Year. The scenery changes every year," Liu Zhiwei said. It was freezing all night at one of the stations in the middle, and I returned the same way by car the next day.”

"But you said you won't be able to see your parents when you go home..."

"Yes," Liu Zhiwei smiled, "Even if you go back to that place, you will find a small local hotel to live in, and occasionally find someone to ask about the situation of your family. But as long as you don't go back for a year, you will feel that you are missing Order something."

He remembered something, and suddenly said: "This year is the only year I didn't go back but didn't feel regretful."

Jon remembered the first New Year he spent in China.

"Maybe with you here, the meaning of not going back will gradually become less important." Liu Zhiwei put his elbows on the table in front of him, and rested his cheeks with his palms.

Even though he was still wearing sunglasses, Jon felt his heart skip a beat.

Five hours later, the train arrived.

Liu Zhiwei pushed Jon out of the old train station, took a breath of dusty air, and said, "We're here."
