Cross the sea

The noise from the corner kitchen continued. He Zhen and Li Chengyun sat facing each other. One stared at the slanted light and shadow on the red brick wall trying to slow down the heart, while the other continued to confuse people.

The pointer crossed the double digits, and Li Chengyun finally smiled and asked, "Why don't you speak?"

"When did you see it?"

He Zhen turned his head to look at Li Chengyun.

"When did you start acting?"

Li Chengyun held the water glass in his left hand and asked him back.

The sun moved upwards, and the light and shadow cast on the red brick-colored wall were adjusted little by little. He Zhen took a bite of the mango pudding in his hand as if nothing had happened, until the sweetness of the fruit saccharine filled his mouth, and then said: "Yesterday .”

There was no expression on Li Chengyun's face. He took a sip of water and leaned back in the chair: "Speak again."

The creamy yellow pudding was bitten into two holes by him, and the fingers holding the plastic cup were hard and then loosened, back and forth several times, before he raised his head again, and confessed leniently: "The day of the kiss."

This answer seemed to finally satisfy Li Chengyun. He bent his eyes and put a vegetarian ball into his mouth.

He Zhen looked at Li Chengyun, he originally wanted to ask how Li Chengyun knew, but after thinking about it, he held back.

Also, in terms of pretending to be crazy and acting stupid, I will always be exposed by Li Chengyun.

After quietly eating everything on the table, Li Chengyun took out two red notes and pressed them under the plate. He Zhen stood up and walked to the door. From the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of Li Chengyun holding the unopened mango pudding in his hand.

They returned along the original road, Li Chengyun walked in front, and the slender shadow was cut into several pieces by the steps.

Walking to the cemetery again, this time Hezhen didn't follow. He stood in the shade of a tree and waited, giving the mother and son enough time.

The cicada above his head was tireless, He Zhen took another step up, and this time Li Chengyun was completely exposed in front of his eyes.

More than once, He Zhen wondered if He Ping was the one who discovered all this, and He Ping was the one who committed suicide by jumping off the building, would he still be able to face Li Chengyun with dizzy love in his eyes and heart.

He didn't know how Li Chengyun passed the hurdle higher than the mountain.

Li Chengyun has nothing to say to Zhen Wei, from a pool of blood red to a square marble tombstone, he is no longer 20 years old, and Zhen Wei is not a neurotic mother who wants to patch her face at any time.

But very occasionally, staring at the small photo on the stone, he still thought about expressing his heart.

The hot sun made his skin burn. In the past, he always thought that Zhen Wei was addicted to cigarettes. Now, looking at the bright fire in his hand, he can understand how nicotine can calm the brain and heart.

Li Chengyun smoked a whole cigarette in front of the black-and-white photo. When the fire was about to go out, he raised his eyes and saw Hezhen standing in the shade of a tree. The light fell on his eyelids through the gap between the trees. Three seconds later, the The man smiled at him.

"I have brought you to see it."

Li Chengyun withdrew his gaze, and whispered to the photo, "It's still the same person, before, and in the future."

Mars was blown away by the mountain wind, and what disappeared in the wind was the last sentence of sorry.

Coming out of the cemetery, Li Chengyun drove He Zhen back to the original road. On the road, he saw a vendor selling cherries. He Zhen stared at him and couldn't take his eyes off.

The red cherries in the two bamboo baskets were covered with a white cloth. He Zhen opened the car door and got out, asking how the cherries were sold.

The old man fanned the wind with a bamboo hat, and glanced at them back and forth, as if he was weighing how these two bullies should weigh each other.

He Zhen didn't give him this chance, he halved the old man's asking price, and finally got into the car with a big bag of cherries contentedly.

The car was driving on the asphalt road, with abandoned train tracks on both sides. He Zhen lowered his head and picked cherries in a plastic bag. His forehead and nose were covered with sweat. He watched him pick out the biggest and reddest one, and then brought the wet wipes. Wipe back and forth.

Li Chengyun stretched out his hand to point both vents at Hezhen, and then glanced at him before saying, "You are polishing."

He Zhen continued to wipe while laughing, then held the green stem and handed it to Li Chengyun's mouth, his eyes lit up with the reflection of the car glass.

It's also strange that when he was 20 years old, he looked at the white-haired old man hugged together at the airport and didn't think about it forever. Now he just glanced at He Zhen's finger holding the cherry stem, and began to be distracted.

So he parked the car on the side of the road, changed the gear, stepped on the foot brake, turned on the double flashing lights, and stretched his arms around Hezhen's neck to kiss him.

Surrounded by the smell of leather, the seat is hot, and the wind whizzes by.

Li Chengyun touched his lower lip, and He Zhen just felt addicted. He poked his tongue into his mouth, and was bitten by Li Chengyun not long after it got in.

The pain hit, and the polished cherry in his hand fell into the gap of the car seat. The cherry was worthless, and he could just use his free hand to hug Li Chengyun's neck.

The original plan was to stay in Lingshan for three days, but the plan was temporarily changed. Li Chengyun checked out the room and put his luggage in the car.

This time, He Zhen didn't sit in the back seat pretendingly anymore, he sat next to Li Chengyun, put the washed cherries in a fresh-keeping bag, ate a few for himself, and then fed one to Li Chengyun.

The summer heat wave wrapped in the car exhaust, Li Chengyun put the cherry pit in his mouth, and asked He Zhen if there was any place he wanted to go.

"Look at the sea."

He Zhen stretched his hand to Li Chengyun's mouth, motioning for Li Chengyun to spit the nucleus into his hand.

"I haven't seen enough of the sea from the ship."

Li Chengyun held He Zhen's hand lightly.

He Zhen scratched Li Chengyun's palm with his index finger, and whispered, "That's different."

So the itinerary was changed again, reflecting the sunset glow reddened by the hot wind, the black SUV did not go down from the Haishi exit, and rushed towards the distant horizon facing the sunset.

Hezhen never asked Li Chengyun's destination from the beginning to the end, watching the plastic bag on his lap filled with cherry pits little by little, it seemed that his heart was also filled up, but it didn't sink, but was so light that it would float to the clouds inside.

Not knowing where the car was going, the fuel gauge turned on a red light halfway, so Li Chengyun randomly picked the nearest service area, stopped at the self-service refueling area, took a grease gun and stood beside the car to refuel.

He Zhen only thought that Li Chengyun looked like a western cowboy. He ran a few meters and squatted on the ground with his mobile phone to take pictures of Li Chengyun.

The flashing lights were obvious, Li Chengyun turned his head and squinted his eyes.

He Zhen grinned and squatted on the ground to take pictures, and couldn't stop pressing the shutter with his fingers. At first, Li Chengyun leaned on the car window with one hand and lowered his head to smile, but finally turned around and pointed two fingers at the camera in He Zhen's hand to beg. .

It was quite naive, when Li Chengyun was driving, he tilted his head to look at He Zhen who was giggling at the screen of his mobile phone. When the sky became dark, Li Chengyun turned on the headlights and drove up the slope.

Like a dark curtain that is gradually rising, the silvery sea surface is exposed little by little. Li Chengyun pinches the back of Hezhen's neck, leans back, and leaves the whole sea to Hezhen.

The light from the mobile phone illuminated a small piece of white snow on He Zhen's chin. He Zhen's eyes were very bright. He looked at the sea first and then at Li Chengyun, and asked with a smile, "If I climb on the roof of the car to see it now, will it appear that I am mentally retarded?"

"meeting."

Li Chengyun pressed a small piece of bone protruding under his fingertips, then opened the car door, and climbed to the roof with He Zhen.

No wonder it is said that people over two meters tall can see different scenery. He Zhen touched the hot roof of the car, and took advantage of the situation to hold the back of Li Chengyun's hand.

The sea breeze poured into the collar, blowing both of them into balloons, ready to lift off at any moment.

"How did you find out?"

He Zhen turned his head and stared at Li Chengyun's black hair blown by the wind.

Li Chengyun squeezed his hand and smiled: "You don't know."

"do not know."

He Zhen is sincere and frank.

Li Chengyun looked at him from the side, stopped for a few seconds and then moved a little closer. He Zhen closed his eyes subconsciously, but the gentle touch he imagined did not fall. The black bell shaking back and forth in Li Chengyun's hand.

"You don't know I bought two at the time."

"You don't know that I sent you off on purpose."

"You don't know that I like you more than you think."

The phone rang, and at such a beautiful moment, Hezhen couldn't distract himself from answering it, so he could only lean on Li Chengyun's shoulder and giggle.
