crossing the northern latitude

Lu Yan is a healthy person who works normally, gets up early and goes to bed early, and insists on exercising.Even if Mengtunan threw something at his window every day, he could still sleep.

That night, he didn't open the window. Instead, he moved a chair and sat in front of the window to listen to the sound of the window, and took a book of poems to hypnotize him.

He seemed to have lied to a certain teacher before that he wanted to be a poet. When he had nothing to do, he would really read poetry collections. Although he hadn’t written them, he believed that quantitative changes could lead to qualitative changes. I can also hold back a few sour poems.

He read a few pages, and from time to time, there were a few crisp sounds coming from the window, the sound was far away, and then approached.

It is Xi Murong who read it, and now this poem is written a little softly, the first line is: I once stepped on the moon, just because you are in the mountains, the mountain wind blows your hair, neck, and bare shoulders...

When reading about the bare shoulders, Lu Yan answered a phone call from Xie Lin, asking how he was doing.

Lu Yan thought for a while, and wanted to talk to her about Meng Tunan.But there was a little noise from Shailene, and he wondered if she could hear.

So he asked, "Where are you?"

"I'm at church."

I called her recently and always heard her mention going to church.Lu Yan asked, "Are you planning to believe in God?"

"It's just that sometimes I think what he said makes sense, so I often come to listen to it."

Lu Yan hummed.There was singing from Xie Lin's side, it seemed to be the voice of mass singing, and it sounded quite ethereal.

He listened quietly for a while, and said, "Meng Tunan moved to live next to my house, I'm so annoyed."

Xie Lin smiled: "Why is it annoying. You called me in Tokyo the other day and asked if I wanted to go back to see him. It sounded like I was going to cry. I thought Xiaomeng was going to die in that tone... I thought you liked it very much. What about him?"

Lu Yan closed the book.He thought for a while and said, "I'm very contradictory. I feel that sometimes I like him and sometimes I hate him."

"Do you hate him?" Shailene repeated.

"Yeah." Lu Yan nodded, "You said he doesn't look like a calligrapher, he is full of frivolity, glib and annoying... He was like this when he was in school, and he hasn't changed at all. But his luck has always been better than mine , God help him, he can be unreservedly protected by many people, grow up safely and healthily, his father hurt me to protect him... Sometimes I can't figure it out, Mom, Uncle Meng treats me like this because I don't Dad?"

Shailene fell silent.

When she spoke again, Xie Lin's voice was a little sad: "Yanyan, I am also very angry, but I can't go and quarrel with your Uncle Meng. If you are so impolite, your father will also be unhappy. God said that to forgive people's mistakes is to forgive people's mistakes. own glory."

"Then I confess." Lu Yan became angry, "I confess. Now I think it's better to be with him so vaguely. I want to be an unkind person now. I want his father Angry, I want revenge, I want to be ignorant...Anyway, if I do something wrong, I can just repent, and I believe God will forgive me."

Xie Lin smiled and said, "This is your business. I won't make comments that affect your judgment."

The voice of her singing came closer, and Lu Yan asked, "How is uncle?"

"It should be fine..." Sherlin paused, "The last time I went to his house, I heard he said that he planned to teach Xing Xing how to play the piano. Our little Xing Xing is so pitiful."

"I suddenly remembered that when I was a child..." Lu Yan said, "Dad didn't know where to go to perform the task. You seemed to go to Moscow to dance. Uncle stayed with me at home and showed me "The Godfather". Third grade, right? I couldn’t understand it, and I felt sleepy after watching it, but I finished it anyway. At that time, I thought it was a horror movie, because there seemed to be a scene where the horse’s head was cut off and put on the bed..."

Xie Lin sighed: "Maybe he just wants you to be brave."

"But when Meng Tunan was young, he watched The Lion King, Tom and Jerry, and Bambi, which is very unfair." Lu Yan said, "He used to make fun of me with these things, and I didn't understand what they were."

Xie Lin changed the subject: "Yanyan, what's the sound of ding ding dong dong?"

It should be the sound of Mengtunan downstairs knocking on his window with candy and paper balls. The man has already thrown out his touch and rhythm, evenly spaced, neither fast nor slow.

Lu Yan looked at the window and said quietly to the phone: "Maybe it's my heartbeat, isn't it very loud?"

"Yeah." Xie Lin agreed very cooperatively, "Your heart is very healthy."

After saying good night, the phone hung up, and Lu Yan went to bed.He shut the windows tightly, like that would stop anything from happening.

After that day, Lu Yan went out to fly for a few days.Every day, I would receive Xiaomeng’s notes and snippets of his life from that person, what posts he wrote, what food he cooked, what flowers and plants he planted in the small courtyard... Although he seldom replied, Lu Yan was kind. Those who love to watch these, when he is bored, what he likes to watch the most is the chat records, there will be an illusion that they have never been separated.

After work that day, Lu Yan had to be coaxed by several colleagues to treat him to dinner, saying that he had to treat the captain after he let go.Knowing that he couldn't escape, he could only take them to the delicious mountain villa in the south of the city for a meal.

During the dinner, there was a captain who hurt Lu Yan with a smile: "When you get off work, what did you say to that stewardess surnamed Yao at the gate of the company?

Lu Yan was embarrassed: "She just borrowed a data cable from me and returned my things."

"I like to borrow things from you, do you think you really borrow things?" The captain laughed at him, "Be careful."

"There are people who fly the night shift and knock on their door at night. I heard it's the flight attendant." Another co-pilot said, "There are men and women! Isn't it, Lu Yan?"

"Oh, I remembered another one. There was a person in the front cabin who liked him. When he went in to get the checklist, he quietly walked away with his cup. He deliberately asked the crowd who owned the cup, trying to trick him. As a result, Lu Yan didn't find it at all. She took it and bought a new one, and the stewardess went to his house later, saying that she wanted to return the cup..."

"A love story, it's easy to happen in the process of borrowing something and returning it..."

"As an adult, it's still not as direct as knocking on the door in the middle of the night!"

As long as talking about him being harassed, this group of people will never get tired of it, the whole private room is hahahaha...

"..." Lu Yan had no choice but to say, "That's enough, stop laughing."

"Laugh only when it's funny! Look, you're blushing again!"

By the time the show ended, Lu Yan had already been drunk with alcohol.

The car couldn't be driven, so he forced himself to call a surrogate driver to take him back home, only to find it was raining outside when he went out.

The substitute driver came a little slowly, Lu Yan and a captain who was traveling with him were waiting outside, but the other party was waiting for his wife to pick him up, and he was waiting for the substitute driver.

Finally, the substitute driver arrived. After getting in the car, he leaned against the back seat for a while, feeling dizzy.It was really uncomfortable, he opened the car window, and the rain drifted in and fell on his face, which was cool.

The driver in front asked, "Sir, do you want to throw up? Do you need to stop or..."

"No." Lu Yan answered him, "But I want to listen to a song, you can play it... It should be just open it."

The surrogate driver agreed.Lu Yan closed his eyes, waiting for Cai Qin's voice to flow out... He heard her singing just like your tenderness, and I can't stop thinking about it year after year...

The driver smiled: "You like listening to old songs."

Lu Yan also smiled: "Are you thinking, why am I a bit old-fashioned?"

"No, it sounds good." The generation driver said, "It feels very suitable for listening to at night."

Lu Yan stopped talking.He turned his head to look out the window, let the rain fall on his face, suddenly felt cold, but didn't want to close the window.

At the door of the house, the drunkenness was almost awakened by the cold wind.After the surrogate driver brother settled the bill, Lu Yan sent someone a red envelope. The surrogate driver was very happy and asked if he needed to help him into the house. Lu Yan said no, and wanted to sit in the car for a while.

Just like your gentleness is the ferry, and the ferry is how I don't want him, it's all Cai Qin.

Lu Yanfa was stunned for a while, when a figure approached with an umbrella... He took a closer look, and it was Meng Tunan.There is one in his hand...is it a lantern?

The car window was open, so Meng Tunan moved closer and asked, "Why don't you answer the phone?"

Lu Yan also asked him: "What are you doing at my door at night?"

Meng Tunan said confidently, "I'll take a walk."

When Lu Yan was speechless, Meng Tunan asked again: "The shift schedule your aunt gave me said that you left work after six o'clock, why didn't you come back at twelve o'clock, did you delay today?"

Lu Yan looked at him, and asked inappropriately: "Why does a modern person not use a flashlight, but a lantern?"

"I made the lantern by myself today." Meng Tunan said, "The students were tired from writing in class today, and I had bamboo strips at my place, so I said I would take them to make lanterns for fun..." Then he smelled it, "Hey, you Have you been drinking?"

Lu Yan nodded.Meng Tunan said again: "Then I'll take you back to rest, I have an umbrella."

"It's not far from home." Lu Yan said, "Who wants you to pick it up."

"where did you go?"

Lu Yan glanced at him: "Drink."

Meng Tunan stopped asking.He raised the bamboo lantern a little to see Lu Yan's face.The person also got closer, allowing Lu Yan to see him clearly, looking at the old friend standing in the rain under the lamp with drunkenness, dimly, a strange warmth surrounded his eyes.

Meng Tunan said: "Come down quickly, I will take you back."

Lu Yan shook his head: "I want to walk, I want to sober up."

He got out of the car and walked towards the back of the residential area without looking back.You don't need to look back, because you know Mengtunan will follow.

The greenery in this villa area is very good. There is a lush green forest passing through a path behind the residential area, and there is also a small river flowing.

Walking and walking, it became Lu Yan holding an umbrella, and Meng Tunan carrying a bamboo lantern.They walked slowly, thinking about each other's thoughts, no one spoke first, and the rain was getting heavier and heavier.

This scene reminded Meng Tunan of many years ago. It seemed that on a rainy night, he and Lu Yan skipped class and walked from the back mountain of the school... There are white twin towers on the back mountain, which is gloomy and terrifying.

Did Lu Yan cry that day?Meng Tunan didn't remember much, but he only remembered that he was scared to death by Lu Yan that day.

Lu Yan beside him was a little strangely silent, it was raining, and the place was quiet... Thinking of the past, those charming thoughts in his heart also faded, and Meng Tunan was a little sad.

But afraid that the atmosphere would keep sinking, he bumped Lu Yan's shoulder: "What are you doing here? Are you asking me to go into the grove?"

Lu Yan was looking at Meng Tunan's hand holding the lantern.

He seemed to be in a daze, and replied casually: "Can you speak some level words?"

"How is it level?" Meng Tunan asked him back, "Do you want me to act aggressive in front of you?"

"Then you are the first to listen to me."

"Okay, listen up—there is a beautiful woman who you will never forget when you see her, and who will never be seen again, and you will miss her like crazy..."

"...Don't you think you're boring?"

"You told me to! I can't say anything. . . Fuck."

"The teacher is still swearing, do you have the quality?"

"You are not my wife, you take care of me, only my wife can take care of me."

"Okay, what do you like to say... I really feel upset when I see you."

"Ah!" Meng Tunan sighed, "but the corners of your mouth are slightly raised now... You are so strange while annoying me while laughing!"

"You are also very strange, walking in front of my house in the middle of the night."

"I went for a walk, and I was waiting for a predestined person." Meng Tunan smiled, "Then a drunken deer came and dragged me to the grove for a walk."

Lu Yan was still looking at Meng Tunan's hand.

Lu Yan felt it was unbelievable, how could this person break his skills with the first opening of his mouth, without temperament... And why would he quarrel with him for no reason, with this kind of person! !

But his hands are beautiful. His hands can make delicious food, lanterns, and good-looking characters.

"Don't smash my window tonight, I will call the police."

"Don't smash the window, just climb the window to sleep with you, okay?"

The rain-soaked woods are moist and smell good.

Immediately, Lu Yan realized that something was wrong: "...Where are you touching your hand? Let go!"

"I'm sorry, I have no bad intentions." Meng Tunan put his hands off Lu Yan's waist, "I'm just afraid that you won't be able to walk steadily."

A gust of wind blows and the lantern goes out.

Lu Yan couldn't see that hand clearly... The five senses and six senses seemed to disappear slowly with the shadow of the lamp.

He was lost for a moment, and then he felt himself being hugged by Meng Tunan—the warm arms, the breath, the kiss, engulfing his consciousness, the hand slipped into his shirt, and slipped out again after tentatively, to hold His hands are warm.

"Okay, I've got a showdown." Meng Tunan whispered, "I want to rob you while you're drunk, but I can't help it."

After drinking, Lu Yan felt very thirsty, and he was still a little hungry. His body seemed to need something, and he was a little irritable.

He remembered a lot.

There are the New York night view from the cockpit a few days ago, the severed horse head in The Godfather, the cigarette between Xie Lin’s fingers, the mountain moon of Xi Murong, Tsai Chin’s ferry, the sour wine... the first snow, in the dream The earthquake, as well as Mengtunan's mouth, hands, and blue school uniform in the dark...all wobbled in his mind, seemingly real or fake.

Many, many, good and bad, he kept them in front of his eyes in the end.He couldn't see clearly, it was dark, his vulgar needs were clamoring, he felt hot, his chest was hot.

Lu Yan subconsciously grabbed the back of Meng Tunan's neck, and the last bit of reason told him no, not here, not now, it's raining.

He pushed Mengtunan away, and gently reminded that the location was wrong: "...it's not young, please be a decent person, I don't want to mess with you here."

Meng Tunan was stunned for a moment, then immediately dropped the umbrella, dragged him and started to run wildly, running towards home, with light footsteps, swooping like a awakened bird.
