crossing the northern latitude

Meng Tunan didn't know whether the later days passed quickly or slowly. He was almost numb after staying in the training class.

Every day I just keep my head down and write, and put all my energy on the pen, and people gradually become quieter.

Fortunately, there will be news of the holiday soon.

It's the Chinese New Year, and the training class will also be on holiday.Because the exam is not long after the new year, I am afraid that the students will go home and play wild. On this day, Teacher Luo Ran finally announced the holiday arrangement in the morning class: the holiday time will be advanced a few days, and everyone must come back to adjust their status and prepare for the exam on the fourth day of junior high school. .

The holiday time was too short, and everyone complained in private.Meng Tunan couldn't understand what they had to complain about. Most of his class were from the north, and his home was the furthest away. Jiang Yang's family was from the capital. More than 20 hours of trains, and I have to transfer trains after getting off the train...

Knowing the holiday time, I basically live on my fingers.Immersed in ancient culture every day, practicing every day and watching it every day, Meng Tunan felt that he was a little old-fashioned, and wanted to go home to regain some youthful vitality.

In order to surprise his family and Lu Yan, Meng Tunan planned his own itinerary—he lied to Gao Hui about his return home time, saying that he would arrive home on the 21st, but in fact they had a holiday on the 17th. Bought train tickets in advance.

Because he wanted to save money and bring something back to Lu Yan...Meng Tunan heavily chose the ticket.

After going home over mountains and mountains, after sitting for more than 20 hours, my body was exhausted, but my spirit was particularly good, which was very different from the mood when I came here.

After taking a taxi to the gate of the ancient town, Meng Tunan got off and planned to walk for a while.

The end of the new year is approaching, and the familiar ancient town is full of New Year's flavor. All the houses in Linhe hung red lanterns tacitly. They are of different sizes and heights. At night, the lights look so beautiful...Meng Tunan always thought that this was Dingyan The self-cultivation of the people seems to consciously maintain the external image of this small ancient town.

Bluestone slabs, willow banks, old locust trees, ancient piers... nothing has changed.He walked silently, feeling some indescribable nostalgia.In a daze, home is here.

During dinner time, the restaurant on the first floor of his house was busy.Meng Tunan walked in silently, and Ah Xiong, who was passing the food in the store, came out of the back kitchen with a plate of dishes. When he saw someone walking in with a suitcase, he subconsciously thought he was looking for accommodation, and greeted him: "Hi, I'm leaving for the accommodation. Turn right and go upstairs!"

Meng Tunan looked up at him: "Brother Axiong, it's me. Is my mother in the kitchen?"

"..." Ah Xiong hurriedly yelled behind him, "Sister Hui, Tunan is back!"

A few seconds later, a group of people rushed out to see him. Gao Hui was still holding a spatula, blushing with excitement.

The next thing is to have a happy meal together.Meng Tunan was hungry, sleepy and excited. He patiently accompanied his parents for dinner and answered their endless questions... After the meal, he couldn't sit still, so he divided the special snacks he brought back into two. Nan picked up a bunch and ran outside.

Gao Hui took him back and scolded him: "Run outside as soon as you come back, where are you going!"

"I'll go to see Lu Yan." Meng Tunan was confident, "I'll be back after a few words."

"Lu Yan is not at home now." Gao Hui's tone was firm.

Meng Tunan turned around: "Ah? Isn't the school on holiday? Where did he go?"

"Aren't you in Dingyan?" Meng Jianjun gave him bad news from the sidelines, "Oh...who told you to come back on the 20th, Yanyan thought you were in Beijing at the moment, and said he would go to see you by the way , and come back together..."

Gao Hui also looked at him complainingly: "You two are really, it's no wonder that you will make your own decisions, and you still have to play some "surprise"..."

"Ah?" Meng Tunan petrified, "He... why did he run to me!"

"Thinking too much." Meng Jianjun glanced at him, "Yanyan is going there to take part in the air force re-examination, I see you are passing by... It just so happened that the time you told us was right, so we told him to come back with you ..."

"Air Force?" Meng Tunan had never heard of this, "Re-examination??"

Sitting down and listening to his parents talk, he covered his eyes with complicated emotions.

Well, the surprise is gone, it has become a joke.What's more, they didn't tell him what kind of pilot medical examination he went to, and he had to go to the second round.

a bolt from the blue.Meng Tunan was not in the mood to listen to his parents' noise anymore, so he hurried upstairs to make a phone call.

After connecting, Lu Yan's attitude was not very friendly. He probably felt that he was lazy and called himself: "Why? Don't you practice calligraphy? Don't call if you are fine..."

"……Where are you."

Lu Yan was silent for a while: "At home, in the room, reading a book." After a pause, he said that Jiaolu immediately went online, "Why are you calling, I told you that I'm fine, don't chat with me, do you have a lot of time?"

"Are you at home?" Meng Tunan complained, "What a coincidence, I am also at home."

Lu Yan's voice suddenly raised: "Are you at home?"

After the explanation, the two of them were a little dumbfounded, and they didn't know how there was such a tacit understanding.

After not sleeping all day, Meng Tunan's nerves gradually relaxed after hearing the other party's voice, and his tone became much softer. He asked Lu Yan, "Do you live in that fierce uncle's house or in your own house?"

"I'm staying in a hotel. My uncle is away on a business trip and isn't here... They have arranged accommodation, and we will have a medical examination tomorrow morning."

Meng Tunan collapsed on the bed, and asked again: "I never heard you say that you want to be a pilot."

"Actually, I didn't think about it, I just wanted to come out to play." Lu Yan said in a nonchalant tone again, "I just don't want to go to class... and it happens that the Air Force medical examination is here, so I want to run out and relax... Come here Grandma is still angry."

"Oh?" Meng Tunan smiled, "Did you go because you wanted to see me?"

"..." Lu Yan was silent for two seconds, "Speak well, don't go too far."

That's not what you hired me for.Meng Tunan began to scold him: "I always say that I am not serious in class. Look at you, you actually came up with such a way to avoid going to school!"

"What's wrong with me, I can't tell you?" Lu Yan said disdainfully, "How much did you score in the test?"

Meng Tunan could only change the subject: "...Why is your grandma angry? Does she not like you flying the plane?"

"I don't know, maybe it's because of my dad. She always thinks it's dangerous to be a soldier or a policeman." Lu Yan didn't say much, "Did you just get home? Did you sleep on the way?"

"It's after five o'clock." Meng Tunan was really sleepy when he mentioned this, "I haven't slept all day, I can't sleep on the train... I'm so excited, Bambi, I bought the ticket this time, butt I'm all numb..."

"Auntie told you to take the plane." Lu Yan sighed, "Who is to blame for your disobedience?"

"It's a little bit of a saving, it's already costing so much money at home."

"The most expensive thing is time."

"Let's take your car in the future." Meng Tunan became a little confused, "I will buy a plane ticket and fly every day when I have money and time... By the way, if you pass the exam, do you want to drive a fighter jet? My God... "

Lu Yan heard that Meng Tunan was sleepy, so he calmed down and listened to the other party, occasionally humming twice.After talking for a while, there was no sound over there, and he hung up the phone.

The bed at home is the best place to sleep. Meng Tunan slept until noon the next day. After eating, he felt sleepy for some reason. I intend to go to the study to write for my father.After reading it, Meng Jianjun seemed dissatisfied, and said: "Looking between the lines... the craftsmanship is a bit stronger."

Mengtunan nodded in agreement: "It is said that the exam should be like this."

Meng Jianjun looked up: "Are you confident?"

Meng Tunan replied conservatively: "The teacher said it was okay."

His father nodded: "Don't be too proud... Write this year's Spring Festival couplets. Don't relax when the exam is coming, and I will make a post in the afternoon to practice my hands."

...It's still the same when I go home.

Meng Tunan watched sadly as his father went downstairs with his hands behind his back, and the other party thoughtfully helped him close the door.

This means no rest. He silently cuts red paper to write Spring Festival couplets, writes his own and writes Lu Yan's, and starts to post again after writing Spring Festival couplets... Halfway through writing, he was so sleepy that he didn't even bother to go upstairs and go back to his room Sleeping, I fell asleep lying on the paper, with a half-written preface to the Lanting collection under my pillow, and I slept soundly.

When he woke up in the afternoon, he took a cup downstairs to drink water like a wandering soul... He was still half asleep, and when he passed by the living room, he saw Meng Jianjun sitting at a small table, and there was another person opposite him.

Squinting his eyes, he made sure that he was not mistaken for Meng Tunan before walking over.

Coming back so soon... It's really good to fly.

In front of the two of them was a chessboard, and his father liked these things that he found dull.Meng Tunan knows how to play chess, but he doesn't like playing chess very much, so Lu Yan came to his house and was willing to play with Meng Jianjun... Why does Lu Yan like playing chess, it's so boring.

Long time no see, he seems to have lost some weight.

Meng Tunan moved a chair and sat on the edge of the road.Perhaps because he was playing seriously, Lu Yan didn't even raise his head, and still looked at the chessboard quietly, frowning and thinking, as if he didn't see him.

Meng Tunan looked at the situation, couldn't sit still, and pointed to a place for Lu Yan: "Get down here, eat him."

After speaking, both Meng Jianjun and Lu Yan raised their heads and gave him a hard look.

Afraid to speak anymore, Meng Tunan kept silent, raised his head while holding the water and continued to look up at Lu Yan.Maybe it was because his eyes were too eager, Lu Yan put up a hand to cover his face after a while, trying to avoid his sight.Meng Tunan immediately moved the stool to the other side to watch...and kept making small movements on the side.

In the end, Meng Jianjun couldn't stand it anymore: "Can you sit on the side, it will be over soon."

It turned out that Lu Yan took the words first, put two pieces to the side and said: "Uncle, I admit defeat."

Meng Jianjun nodded: "You played impetuously in this game, you didn't win... are you still coming?"

"No, the more you lose, the more you want to win." Lu Yan has already started to clean up the chessboard, "Come back another day."

Meng Tunan regained his energy, and immediately hugged Lu Yan's neck, but was thrown away by Lu Yan... Meng Jianjun smiled when he saw this: "I'll clean it up, let's go play."

It really made them go, but the two looked at each other and hesitated for a while, as if they didn't know what to do next.

After a while, it was Meng Tunan who broke the deadlock, grabbed Lu Yan's wrist, and dragged him upstairs involuntarily.

Lu Yan didn't want to flirt with him in front of his elders, so he slapped him on the back—Meng Tunan skillfully hooked Lu Yan's neck, and the two chased me up the stairs.

It seems that the way of getting along has not changed... I can't see what has changed.

After entering the door, Meng Tunan pointed to a pile of pastries on the table: "I bought them for you... I don't know if you went there too, and said to bring some back for you to eat."

Lu Yan nodded, because he was a little speechless, he simply said: "...Did you read the books when you were free? Did you read the papers I sent you?"

Meng Tunan automatically blocked information related to knowledge, took a step closer, took out a bracelet from his pocket, and handed it over.

Lu Yan took it over and looked at it. The black thread was wearing a red bead the size of a thumb, which seemed to be engraved with words.

"The Jiang Lao in our training class knows how to do micro-sculptures. I learned from him." Meng Tunan seemed to offer a treasure, "Do you need me to explain what red beans mean?"

Lu Yan put his things away: "...I seem to understand."

Meng Tunan nodded: "That's good."

After a moment of silence, the atmosphere became weird again. They looked at each other and looked at each other.Lu Yan felt that Meng Tunan seemed to have grown a little taller... After going to suffer some hardships, he seemed to have been polished, and his appearance was sharper, especially his eyes, which were much more explicit than before, with that vicious expression... ...as if gathering strength to do something.

The momentary thought was - it was too obvious for him to look at me like this, would Uncle Meng and Auntie see it.

Just like that, Meng Tunan was already a lot closer. He backed up subconsciously, and then he was hugged tightly... Lu Yan's mind exploded, and he quickly pushed him away: "...What are you doing!"

—Is the door locked?

"hug you."

"No." Lu Yan put his hand against him, "After the exam as agreed..."

"Hold me and you won't die!"

It felt a little too much, Lu Yan could only say tactfully: "...No, after the exam as agreed...I'm not ready yet."

what to prepare?Didn't they agree half-heartedly?Meng Tunan didn't quite understand: "Are you a big girl! Why are you so shy after sleeping with me so many times? You're so coy!"

"That's different, who knew you before..." Lu Yan's ears turned red with anxiety, "You have to show some face!"

"I'm shameless." Meng Tunan pressed him and lowered his tone, "Please, I really miss you, just for a moment..."

Lu Yan stared at the hair beside his ear... The familiar smell surrounded him, the smell of safety... I smelled it when I was sick, I smelled it when I was drunk, and it was always accompanied by this smell when I was happy, sad, happy, angry, sad .People seem to have their own special taste, and Mengtunan represents safety.

Lu Yan was stunned, thinking that he was watching the process of being defeated.

Lu Yanxin said that it would be only one minute, let him hold him for one minute, and counted in his heart, one, two, three, four, five... Within 1 seconds, Meng Tunan started to push forward again, and asked him in a low voice: "I apply Advance payment after passing the exam..."

Lu Yan didn't hear clearly: "What?"

Mengtunan looked up and started staring at his mouth.

The answer is self-evident.

"..." Lu Yan began to look around, trying to play dumb, "What? What did you say?"

"That." Meng Tunan approached him, "Try it, just give it a try, and I will pay you back."

How to return it?What do you pay for?What's the difference!

"...don't you feel like a hooligan now?"

"...Try it." Meng Tunan hugged him tightly, and said in a strong tone, "Just one, if you don't like it, just push away... just one!"

What's worse is that at that moment Lu Yan actually found this man very pleasing to the eye, all the instincts in his body were saying - don't push him away, try.

Try it.

The emergence of good feelings and physical touch in adolescence lead people to sink, which seems to drag people down.A strange sense of expectation surged up, Lu Yan froze, looked at the face that was getting closer and closer, and asked blankly: "...What should I do?"

I don't know whether to ask Meng Tunan or ask myself.

Mengtunan was also very nervous, but he still pretended to be calm and said, "Maybe...close your eyes."
