White dove

Another month later, Tong Tong's hair grew longer, and the thin white knife marks could barely be covered. They went to the same barber to get the same hairstyle.

The barber asked them, "Are you two brothers? You have such a good relationship, and you all have the same hairstyle."

Both of them laughed, and Tong Tong asked him, "Do you think we look alike?"

The barber looked at the two of them: "Like, the outlines are quite deep." Then he pointed to Tong Tong: "Be more delicate, are you the younger brother?"

Tong Tong laughed loudly, before he could reply, Bian Cheng hurriedly said, "Yes, he is the younger brother, and I am the elder brother."

Tong Tong almost choked with laughter, it took a lot of hard work not to expose Bian Cheng, his eyes looked at Bian Cheng in the mirror, the barber's hands were moving on Bian Cheng's head, Bian Cheng also looked at Tong Tong from the mirror, and said: "Still Don't call me brother, or brother won't ask someone to cut your hair for a while."

Tong Tong stared at him and smiled, and after a while he held his breath and called out: "Brother."

It's like playing tricks.

Biancheng was urging him to call a second ago, but he shut his mouth suddenly when he heard it, followed by a rare blush that crept onto his face.

Tong Tong was still smiling with her mouth covered, her eyes full of cunning.

Bian Cheng gritted his teeth and said fiercely: "You wait."

In the evening, the two of them nestled on the sofa and watched a movie. Leslie Cheung and Tony Leung were on the other side of the world, working part-time jobs, carrying pork, playing football, cooking and dancing in the narrow rented room. In the end, Leslie Cheung said to Tony Leung: "Li Yaohui, Why don't we start over."

But there is no chance for them to start again, the huge blue waterfall falls endlessly, and the lost feelings are gone forever.

After a while, Tong Tong said to Bian Cheng: "When I was in Nanjing, I thought about it many times. If I had the opportunity to come back with you again, I would definitely not make the choice at that time."

Bian Cheng kissed the scar on his forehead: "Don't keep it in your heart, everything that happened has its reason, it's all in the past, we're fine now."

"So I'm very lucky, if you give up, we will never be where we are today." Tong Tong said.

Bian Cheng shook his head: "No, you are not He Baorong, and I am not Li Yaohui, we don't have to start over."

Tong Tong buried her head in Bian Cheng's chest, Bian Cheng hugged him, and suddenly said in his ear: "I really want...to hear you call me again."

"What?" Tong Tong was taken aback.

"Just, you called me at the barber shop this afternoon."

Tong Tong sat up straight for a while, looked at the border city, a little tongue-tied: "You, hey, you can't do this!"

"Just once, for the last time." Bian Cheng learned Tong Tong's rogue.

Tong Tong stared at him for a long time, then suddenly said: "Okay, I promise you, but you have to promise me too. After I called, there is one thing I want you to return to me."

"What?" Bian Cheng was also stunned.

"I'll tell you later." Tong Tong said.

Then he moved closer to Biancheng, until it was close to his ear, his breath was in Biancheng's cochlea, itching, Biancheng couldn't help shrinking his neck, and then he heard a deep and breath-filled voice: "Brother!"

Bian Cheng only felt that half of his body went numb in an instant. He held Tong Tong's head and kissed it fiercely.

The song "Happy Together" was still being sung on the TV, they were overlapping on the sofa, and their clothes and people rolled to the ground.

When everything stopped, Bian Cheng asked him again: "What is it?"

Tong Tong paused for a moment, and after her breath calmed down, she said, "Is that ring still there?"

Bian Cheng's hand that was stroking Tong Tong's hair suddenly stopped, and Tong Tong looked at him from below without speaking.

Of course Bian Cheng remembered that ring. When he got home very late that day, there was no one at home. He turned on the light and saw the ring on the table.

Nothing, nothing but a ring.

He still remembered his mood when he picked up the ring, and he guessed what happened in an instant. He gripped the ring tightly and rushed into the bedroom. Most of Tongtong's things were still there, but the most commonly used things, the most often Clothes and suitcases were gone.

He fell down on the bed, clutching the ring in his hand until his fingers were bloodstained.

He didn't speak. After a while, Tong Tong touched the corner of his jaw: "Is it not there? It doesn't matter, I don't want it first, and I don't blame you."

As he said that, he kissed Biancheng again: "Let's go buy a new pair another day, okay?"

"Okay." Bian Cheng also kissed him.

Ever since he knew that the boss of Ludao was a border town, Tong Tong often went to Ludao to stay. He treated it as a job, and it was his own property anyway. He was conscious of being a small boss, and he was a guest waiter there. , the company in the border town is not too far from here. I often come to the bar directly after work to find him. When I open the door, I see Tong Tong standing behind the bar to greet customers. After only a few days, I have become very familiar with him.

Except for driving when it is windy and rainy, Tong Tong rides from home at other times. His body is obviously recovering, and his strength and energy are gradually returning to the original place.

Sometimes when he came early, he would enter the school by himself through the side door, wandering aimlessly.

Most of the time I stay at the Xiyuan Stadium, Tongtong sits on the stands in the sun, and there are always young boys running, dribbling, shooting and cheering below.

At that time, Mu Ke and Leng Chao were playing football here, and Du Li called on all the girls from the department to come and cheer, and gave the boys from the English department the biggest win in four years.

Thinking of this, Tong Tong couldn't help smiling.

Everything is in the past, and it seems that it has never been in the past.

Du Li is at school, and Tong Tong sometimes makes dinner appointments with her. Du Li brings her daughter, Xiao Tangyuan, with her. The little girl is fat, soft, and not afraid of people. The uncle hugged him and called his name sweetly, making Du Li and Tong Tong laugh in unison.

There was a party in the border city that night, and I sent a message to Tong Tong, saying that I would end it as soon as possible, and then come to Green Island to pick him up and go home together.

When Bian Cheng came to pick him up, he smelled of alcohol. He said he hadn't drunk much and had to talk about business, so there was nothing he could do.

Tong Tong helped him make a hot drink to hangover. I don't know why, Biancheng is a bit clingy tonight, and his eyes have been following Tongtong. Keep chasing after him.

Tong Tong laughed at him, and turned into a puppy when he drank, and couldn't leave him.

Biancheng had a hot drink and said: "I didn't drive, it's not cold today, walk with me for a while, if you can't walk, then take a taxi back, okay?"

"Okay." Tong Tong took out his hat and scarf from his bag, kept warm for the border town, and then took his hand out: "Puppy, you have to follow the owner closely, you can't get lost, you know?"

"Yeah! I know!" Bian Cheng tightly held Tong Tong's arm, very cooperative.

The two walked along the street, turned a corner and arrived at the riverside. There was wind on the riverbank, and the border city pulled Tongtong's hat down, took off his gloves and felt Tongtong's hand, it was warm.

After walking forward for a while, when we arrived at a crowded place, a group of aunties were dancing in the square. Tong Tong suddenly became playful, and dragged Biancheng to sneak in.

The aunts danced very seriously. There was a lead dancer at the front. Tong Tong and Bian Cheng stood in the last row of the phalanx, and danced with the aunts in front. Their movements turned them into ghosts.

But they couldn't stop, looking at each other and laughing.

After one dance, the next piece of music played, which turned out to be a tango.

The aunts were not surprised, and formed a group of two spontaneously, and Tong Tong and Bian Cheng naturally also formed a group.

The aunts have also danced this dance countless times, forward, forward, forward, and then back, the most simple and easy-to-learn tango steps.

Tong Tong and Bian Cheng followed for a few steps, flustered, and the aunts next to them also looked at them and smiled.

Bian Cheng said in Tong Tong's ear: "Don't go with them, come, I'll dance with you."

"Huh?" Tong Tong asked.

Bian Cheng wrapped Tong Tong's waist with one hand, brought the two closer, and then led him in a small circle. The two legs moved forward and back, and they naturally stuck together.

oh!It's Argentine Tango!Tong Tong suddenly came to his senses, and then he was surprised. He looked at Biancheng: "You are so busy, how can you sneak away to learn a dance?"

Bian Cheng smiled: "It's just fur, I saw a movie that day, and I really wanted to dance with you."

He said in his ear again: "Come on, close your eyes, and I will take you."

Tong Tong closed her eyes and leaned her head on Biancheng's shoulder. The two moved forward and back, in a circle, in a tacit understanding.

Then, something warm slipped into Tong Tong's fingertips.

He opened his eyes and found that there was an extra ring on the ring finger of his left hand.

Very familiar, but a little strange.

The style is exactly the same as the ring he discarded in memory, but there is a small diamond in the middle of the interface, which is not obtrusive, and blends with the ring, shining coldly in the night.

Bian Cheng held his hand, and gently pushed the ring in again. It was not too big or too small, and it fit very well. It looked good on Tong Tong's long and slender fingers.

Tong Tong caressed the diamond and sighed: "Really, men's rings with diamonds look good too."

Bian Cheng said: "Just doing this, you won't be able to inlay big ones."

"It doesn't need to be big, I like it like this." Tong Tong pinched the ring with her fingertips and gently twirled it.

"You like it?" Bian Cheng looked at him.

"Yes, I like it very much." Tong Tong looked up into Bian Cheng's eyes.

"That's not what I planned. I didn't put it on for you so casually here. I planned to be very serious..."

Tong Tong interrupted him: "I like this, it's very good."

"Put it on this time, and don't throw it away again." Bian Cheng said seriously.

Tong Tong nodded and raised his palm: "I've been here all my life."

The two walked home holding hands, and Tong Tong said, "Is it still from that store?"

Bian Cheng paused, and said: "Yes, actually, it's the same one from before. I threw that ring out of the window in a daze. I searched downstairs for a long time, but I finally found it... I went to that store to change the size of my ring finger and re-inlay it, but the words engraved on the inner circle are still there. If you don’t believe me, you can take it off and have a look when you get home..."

"No, I won't pick it." Tong Tong said, "I know, it's that one."

He asked again, "Where's yours? Is it still there?"

"Yes, at home."

"Okay, I want it when I get back."

"it is good."

After arriving home, Bian Cheng found the ring in the bedside cabinet. It was the same model, but without diamonds, and it was still the size of the middle finger.

Tongtong took it and asked Biancheng to sit on the edge of the bed. He knelt down in front of Biancheng on one knee, held the ring in his hand, and asked, "Biancheng, do you want to stay with me forever?"

This is really a superfluous question, but Bian Cheng answered seriously: "I am willing."

"Okay, just this once, never regret it." Tong Tong took Bian Cheng's hand, but didn't put a ring on him, just made a shape with his finger, and put it in along the ring finger, he said: " Tomorrow I'll go to the store and have them change the size and put it on for you."

"Okay." Biancheng pulled him up, and the two turned the ring together, the light shone into the inner circle, and the clear capital letter "T" was still shining.
