Eros kisses Psyche

Chapter 18 Make a Wish

After seeing the luxurious top-floor guest room, Jing Jianian's dissatisfaction with his "rival in love" instantly disappeared.

"—It's great to be rich and powerful!" He yelled, and rushed to the compartment of the luxurious viewing room. The three suites were independent and had their own bathrooms; a living room, an entertainment hall, and even a living room. A small gym, enough for them to live separately; even Lele carefully climbed up to the window sill to look out, and the entire bustling street view of S City is unobstructed. There is a sky garden outside the balcony, and an infinity pool is luxuriously equipped at the end. You can sit in a hanging basket chair and overlook the sea.

Even a wealthy family like Jing Jianian, Kuo Shao, felt this way, let alone Xu Budie.

This kind of luxurious suite, even when the conditions of the family were good, it is rare to live in it.

Lying on the soft mattress, the finely stitched fabric is as light as a dream like snow-white cotton candy, with a huge sense of tearing across it.He couldn't help but think of the indelible smell of disinfectant in the chaotic hospital, the sewage flowing in the alleys downstairs, the canopy on the first floor of the residential building, and two large pots set up for the patients' families to cook for themselves. Just pay a rental fee of one yuan.The people living in the ward are also of different grades, and those who can buy takeaway are not the most difficult. Xu Budie is a lonely commander, sometimes it hurts to order takeaway, and he can't eat instant noodles all the time. The family rented a pot to cook with, and the pot was scabbed with oil, and the fried dishes were full of flavors.

Many of the patients who partnered with him were elderly people, and he even volunteered to take over the job of cooking.After all, sometimes you have to stand in the windy aisle on a hot day or when it rains, and the oily smoke chokes you. Old people can't stand it, so don't fall ill again.

Although Xu Budie is used by three people by himself and spends three shares for one penny, he has always shared half a penny with his partner's family, and he will not pay less because he helps cook the dishes. Make up for it yourself.It is indeed difficult for those patients who have to eat together, but every time they see a child of him coming to eat together alone, they are unwilling to ask him for money. "But just to add your mouth! You are such a small baby, you have suffered so much, you help cook, and we ask you for money, so what are we..." Xu Budie felt warm in his heart. , When it is really impossible to shirk it, I buy meat and oil out of my own pocket and add it secretly.

The meager savings in the back alleys at the end of the city, and the extravagance of the people who are towering above the clouds and overlooking the city like a speck of dust, actually exist in the same time and space, in the same person, which makes him feel dazed, so that He didn't hear Cheng Zhu and Jing Jia shouting in turn.

"..."

"...Xiao Xu..."

"... Xu Xing!"

Xu Budie snapped back to his senses and found Cheng Zhu looking at him worriedly.Jing Jianian wanted to say something, but he rolled his eyes again. Cheng Zhu seemed to give him a wink, so he stopped talking.

what happened?

He couldn't figure it out, so he apologized first: "Ah, I'm sorry, I was distracted."

"...Help me go down and buy a pack of cigarettes," Cheng Zhu said, "and bring Papa up, I'll read the manuscript tonight."

Although there is even a coffee machine and cigarettes in the water bar of this suite, it's not Cheng Zhu's favorite to smoke after looking at the brand, and besides, the ones here must be very expensive, so there's no need to waste the money.Xu Budie didn't think there was anything wrong, and went out after answering, while giving Jing Jianian a look of "Come on".But this time the nursing home just rolled its eyes at him, looking a little impatient.

Cheng Zhu stood up as soon as he went out, "...Then what, I'll go out too."

It was rare for Jing Jianian not to get to the bottom of the matter, and he and Cheng Zhu had a tacit understanding.After all, Xu Budie didn't know it just now, but everyone else saw it: they ate the steak set meal given by the suite, and Cheng Zhu knew that Lele had no meat, so he also cut two pieces for him, but this Western-style meal was cooked with meat. Desheng, the little baby was changing teeth, and he threw it on the side of the plate without biting it, and put it together with the broccoli he didn't eat; as a result, Xiao Xu didn't know what was on his mind, but he picked up Lele and ate the leftovers very naturally The leftovers, still dipped in saliva and tooth marks, were eaten bite by bite.

Xu Budie was still in a daze. When he went downstairs, the sky was going to be dark, and the neon lights lit up one after another, reflecting the thin sky, and there were hazy spots of color in the corner of his vision.Like the colored films in a kaleidoscope when he was a child, there was a piece of blue, and a piece of lemon yellow, hanging on the eyelashes, which made him unconsciously raise his hand to rub it.Turning into a convenience store, someone asked him what he wanted, he opened his mouth, but suddenly couldn't say, what am I here to buy?cigarette?Cigarettes are expensive...

Suddenly a man stood beside him, rubbed his head, and said to the cashier, "Bring me a chicken chop and Oden."

Xu Budie looked up suddenly, and saw Cheng Zhu standing beside him, half a head taller than him, with his cuffs rolled up.

"! Why did you come down by yourself?..." He paused, and realized that he was wandering in the sky just now, and now he didn't know how much time he had spent, "...I was too slow, right? Are you in a hurry? "

"No, suddenly I don't want to buy cigarettes anymore. Thinking that Lele and Xiao Jing are here, it's not good for me to smoke in my den." Cheng Zhu said, "After another half-day in the car, I felt dizzy, so I also came down for a walk."

Xu Budie looked at him.

"Have you walked along the coastal trail here? The scenery is super nice. There is a sea star father at the end, and the floor-to-ceiling windows are facing the sea." He looked at Xu Budie, "The sunset is beautiful today. If we make it in time, we may be able to see until sunset. Do you want to see it?"

Xiao Xu looked at the sky, the sun was about to sink.Too late?Although he didn't check the map, from here to the beach... Looking down from the top floor suite before, it's not far but certainly not close.

"Give it a try, don't give up before doing it. Maybe we can catch up. If we catch up, I'll treat you to coffee."

These words burst into Xu Budie's heart like a spark. ——Try it, many times he has no option to try it at all, and fate pushes him away like a tide.

At this time, the cashier handed over a large chicken chop and a bucket of Kanto cooking.

Cheng Zhu pushed the chicken chop to him without any hassle: "So, eat quickly!"

...Xu Budie couldn't laugh or cry: Why did you buy so much, did you not eat enough just now!

"I don't like steak. Western food is so subtle...it's not real at all." Cheng Zhu took out a skewer and opened his mouth to stroke it to the end. His mouth was full and he urged Xu Budie, "Hurry up." Hurry up! Time doesn’t wait, seize the day and night!”

Xiao Xu had no choice but to take a big bite of the fried chicken chop, and swallowed it in two or three bites, leaving the hanging silk in his mouth, his stomach was full of satisfaction, as if his body had suddenly started to move.

"Let's go," Cheng Zhu was used to raising his son, and subconsciously wiped the corners of his mouth, "The light on the other side of the street has turned green, and the light here is very long. If you miss it, you have to wait for more than two minutes. Let's rush over!"

Xu Budie was dazed, his hands had already been lifted by him, and the two of them went against the crowds of the evening rush hour, passed through the gap between shoulders, and straddled the wide and bustling crosswalk.

The sky was sinking again, and the color of tile blue began to overturn and diffuse like the paint of seawater pouring into the sky, leaving only a golden edge at the junction.They moved forward along the Binhai Boulevard, being urged to trot all the way by the oppression of the world.From a distance, I saw the destination along the end of the route, but it seemed that there was a distance of one kilometer in the past.

Can you really catch up?Or forget it?What if it gets dark when we arrive?It was pitch black everywhere and there was nothing left, so I should have felt disappointed by that time.

Besides, it's not necessary at all, there is a star daddy family on the corner of the street, so what's the difference if you can see the sea?Running all the way like this, you can't catch up with the sunset like Hou Yi shot the sun, and what should fall will still fall.

He hesitated under his feet: "How about..."

"I heard that making a wish on the sunset on that promontory is very spiritual." Cheng Zhu walked in front, as if he suddenly saw through his mind, and said without looking back.

Xu Budie was stunned for a moment: "...Mr. Cheng, you..."

"how do I?"

"You will make a wish too?"

"What do you call that?" Cheng Zhu laughed, "Why can't I make a wish?"

In Xu Budie's cognition, making a wish is too childish, it is a fairy tale that children only believe.He also tried his best to make a wish, and made a big wish, but it turned out that it was useless at all.At first, no matter how much he wished, his father did not allow him to study abroad; later, no matter how much he wished, his father never opened his eyes again.

After that night, he felt as if he had been encouraged by the seedlings, and he flew past the age where he could still make wishes.

But Cheng Zhu waved his hand proudly: "I want to make a wish that tomorrow's speech will not get stuck!"

He picked up a bunch of bamboo wheels himself, stuffed it in one gulp, and ran with his long legs.

Xu Budie had no choice but to follow behind and chase him.Professor Cheng is very talented, unlike all professors. Long-term outdoor work and physical labor have made his muscles strong and his limbs long.But Xu Budie himself is younger, has developed motor nerves, and has the obstacle running ability trained by delivering food, which can be used at this moment.

For a moment, he didn't understand why he wanted to run. There was no monetary reward, no task to push him, and even the goal was not so clear.However, the coastline stretches and runs against the direction of everyone. When running, the brain is emptied, only the coolness brought by the sea breeze and the joy of stretching the limbs.Xu Budie likes the work of delivering food the most among all the jobs of almighty people—you don’t have to think about anything. When your body is extremely exhausted, your brain can let go of your thoughts and only your instincts are left. You just run for the sake of running. Running itself is very powerful. significance.

But now it is slightly different, he is no longer a program machine that numbly executes certain commands, a tool man who eats mushrooms alone, and there is a person walking side by side with him, like chasing the mermaid in the sea in a fairy tale. Bubbles; Cheng Zhu raised his head, his side face was illuminated by the afterglow of the setting sun, and when he looked over, he returned a bright and open smile.

He seems to be saying: that bubble is also part of the fairy tale.It is beautiful for someone to turn into a bubble, it is also full of vitality for someone who loses his life, and the failure of someone who cannot resist fate is also cruel and gorgeous, and he will pay attention to where it goes with the flow; its ending is not meaningless.

When we ran to the beach, it was almost dark, the sky was heavy, and the last ray of light was blocked by buildings.Xu Bu ran profusely with sweat, his heart was beating so fast that he almost choked his throat; but his feet slowed down, and there was a well-deserved sour feeling: Look, it really is like this——

But Cheng Zhu pushed open the glass door of the shop with a bang, and stretched out his hand to him: "Come here!"

He was dragged in like a storm in a Narnia wardrobe, and his sweaty, callused hands led him through the secret passage of magic, when suddenly, the last gleam of golden radiance suddenly In front of the eyes - the last ray of the setting sun is struggling on the sea level, spreading the picture scroll in front of a large transparent floor-to-ceiling glass curtain wall, like a sharp knife point cutting the curtain between the sky and the sea, flamboyant and unyielding, like a confrontation It is hard to look directly at the injustice that is about to sink.

Cheng Zhu climbed up to the highest point of the viewing platform, the whole platform was illuminated golden by the setting sun, he put his hands in front of his eyes; Xu Bu caught up a few steps, but only saw his figure outlined by the afterglow as a silhouette, It fits seamlessly into the boundless world, like a giant who cuts the picture scroll of the sea of ​​the day.

However, this explosive golden light only lasted for a moment, and soon, the waves and clouds rolled up again, and the sky suddenly fell, and the golden light was finally swallowed up, leaving only traces of dark blue.The surroundings are like a consonance, and at this moment, a soft evening light is lit.

Xu Budie was stunned, all this was too fast, the wind was surging like lightning, they did catch up, but they only had time to catch a glimpse, like seeing a shooting star in a hurry, greedy and insufficient, a long wish list has not been finished, and the objects carried have already Overwhelmed and flew overhead.

But Cheng Zhu turned around suddenly, folded his hands tightly together, covered it as if he was grabbing some treasure, and smiled mysteriously at him. "Give me your hand."

Xu Budie stretched out his hands without knowing why, and Cheng Zhu folded his folded hands on top of the young man's tanned and molted hands.

"I've got it. Make a wish?"

The young man was really stunned.Catch... what?sunset?That last ray of golden light?Is that something to grab?

— cheating.

Adults are like this, they treat everyone like children and play nonsense to deceive people.

But Cheng Zhu looked very calm, as if this matter was justified, as if he could indeed catch it.If he is a giant who cuts the scroll, that small beam of light is like a carving knife in his hand, which he can store and play with between his fingers.

There was a bang out of nowhere.

Xu Budie suddenly didn't dare to look at him, he dodged his eyes and muttered: "I don't believe it. Open your hands."

"Open it and run away!" Cheng Zhu said righteously, "The speed of light, can you catch up?"

...You are so right that I can't refute it.

"Make a wish." Cheng Zhu said softly, "Look, there's still time."

His palms were hot, as if a ray of light really poured into them, and the place where they held was scorching hot.
