silver sea

In fact, the umbrella wasn't too big, but he couldn't see Wen Youxia's expression anymore.

Wen Youxia quickly took the umbrella—it was too difficult for a girl who was barely above his shoulder to hold an umbrella with his height—then they walked to the path on the left together.

From the same apron the girl was wearing, one could basically tell that it was Wen Youxia's current colleague, but Qiu Sheng couldn't turn his mind away.

The gears that had finally returned to normal activities were splashed by the rain, and quickly rusted, causing his little sanity to completely collapse, and he paused awkwardly at "I can't keep up", and couldn't move half a step forward.

Rational collapse, all rely on instinctive activities.

When Qiu Sheng came to his senses, he had already followed hesitantly with an overloaded heartbeat.

There is no fourth person around.

They held up umbrellas, and Qiu Sheng continued to drench in the rain until he felt unconscious.

"Wen Youxia, that idiot, really doesn't look at me?" He thought incredulously, stepped on Wen Youxia's footprints, and continued to slander to himself, "That umbrella is really dirt, and the apron is even dirtier...Is he working? Fuck it , the mute also has colleagues to pick up? Will he also chat with normal people?..."

Qiu Sheng's mental activities fluttered one after another, and the tip of his tongue twirled the ups and downs, and he had the illusion that the rain was hot and boiling, allowing him to taste the various aspects of life in a short period of time.

Then Wen Youxia didn't look back at him once until he walked into the eaves.

Donghe City has recently advocated the development of the street stall economy, and the newly built container-style commercial street in Huahua Park will be rented out soon.This area is close to the Children's Paradise, where snacks are usually sold, and it is very close to the side entrance. Only adults with children will choose to come here first, and the entire artificial lake is separated from the Music Square.

If Wen Youxia has been around here all this time, it's no wonder that Qiu Sheng has never seen him.

He looked at the dark green container in front of him—the same color as Wen Youxia’s apron—the open ordering counter with two parasols outside. Due to the weather, the white folding tables and chairs were all put away now, and a ponytail was in the counter. girl with braids is sitting and playing with a mobile phone.

Wen Youxia entered through the small door behind her, took a handkerchief to wipe her hair, she turned her head and said something to Wen Youxia.

Qiu Sheng approached unexpectedly.

It was raining suddenly, and I thought I could take a rest, but suddenly a drowned guest came. The girl with ponytail was frightened by Qiu's voice, and it took a long time for me to say "Welcome".

It sounds like it's biting into the inside of the mouth.

She didn't hear the answer, so she observed Qiu Sheng's expression and maintained a professional smile with her tongue out: "Hi, what would you like to drink? The autumn-limited sweet-scented osmanthus taro milk dew was recently launched. If you like sweet-scented osmanthus milk green, you can try it!" Impressed, she continued with a stiff face, "Our house's signature is the cheese milk cover series, and the tea base includes jasmine green tea and Pu'er black tea..."

"Okay." Qiu Sheng said, his eyes focused on the shoulders of the person behind her.

His answer didn't mean anything, and it was half a beat too late.

The girl with the ponytail looked embarrassed, and for a moment she didn't know whether she should continue to ask, but someone came up behind her: "Let me order, you take a rest."

Someone took the initiative to deal with a difficult customer, and the girl was relieved, and hurriedly got together with other shop assistants, looking at Qiu Sheng curiously.

Standing behind the counter was a funny scene, Wen Youxia's hair was still half wet.He lowered his eyes, pressed the ordering screen, pointed to the electronic menu hanging behind, and spoke with a blank expression.

"What do you want to drink?"

My voice is hoarse than before, is it because I smoke too much?

There was still a lot to say to him just now, but Qiu Sheng didn't expect such an opening speech when they finally met each other.It had been a long time since his voice had been lost in the sound of the rain, but his heartbeat was still fast and he couldn't calm down.

Facing Wen Youxia, many emotions wanted to burst out uncontrollably.

Qiu Sheng squeezed his fingers, his lips trembled for a moment, and while implying to himself "Be normal", countless voices appeared in his mind, which gave him a headache——

What is the relationship between you and the video recorder? Why can he call you an idol?

If he asks you to play the piano, you play the piano, what about me?

You remember my impromptu melody, remember me?

Where did the tattoo go?

You can afford it but can you really let it go?

Excited, embarrassed, embarrassed.

And... grievance.

Stomach seems to be starting to cramp again.

"What would you like to drink?"

Wen Youxia's second questioning tone was much softer, but he was still able to fold several right angles as bluntly, introducing him mechanically and without emotion: "The seasons are limited to the first column, and the signature drinks are in the second column. .”

"Anything." Qiu Sheng said.

Wen Youxia: "..."

Well, this time it was the Wen Youxia he was familiar with.

After all, nothing changed, but Qiu Sheng was relieved, and smiled stiffly: "It's too embarrassing for you to speak so many words at once... Really drink whatever you want, just look at it."

"En." Wen Youxia lowered his head and pointed on the screen, and after a while he raised the scanner, "15 yuan."

"It's your treat."

Not only Wen Youxia was slightly stunned, but the two chatting girls behind the counter also seemed to have been cut off from the topic suddenly, and they all chose to remain silent.

Qiu Sheng supported the counter, and explained to him seriously: "I didn't bring that much money. Gu Qi suggested that I don't use my mobile phone to pay, saying that I don't know how to manage money, and it will cost quickly...or I can ask him for it. He's on 24/[-] anyway. He's the guy, you know, he overreacts sometimes..."

When he said these trivial things, his eyes were bright, his voice was soft, and he fell into a dream called memory.

Whether it is Wen Youxia's best memory or not, Qiu Sheng doesn't know, but it must be his.

Gu Qi follows them every day to help clean up the mess. His pleasure is that Wen Youxia can say a complete sentence of more than 20 characters at a time. Did not pursue.There were also performances, but not many, and they were usually held near the university town and in underground bars in Xicheng District. After most of the night, the four of them headed in three directions, and he and Wen Youxia walked back to their residence slowly.

He talked a lot, but Wen Youxia didn't speak much, and just smiled lightly when he heard something funny.Wen Youxia's smile is more common than his long sentences, and Qiu Sheng always holds his hand when he hugs him from behind.

Because of the high-intensity piano practice, the fingertips of those hands are slightly flattened, and the thin calluses will itch when they rub against the palms.

But now, the shape of the hand has not changed, but it is holding a device waiting to scan the payment code.Wen Youxia's expression fluctuated for a moment when he heard Gu Qi's name, but he returned to indifference in an instant.

"Then what do you want?" He said, still speaking calmly to strangers.

Qiu Sheng remained silent, he couldn't answer.

This sentence is an understatement to bring his dream back to its original place, and remind Qiu Sheng that the reality is that they are now meeting by chance for the first time after they have not seen each other for a long time.He had a dull pain in his throat, probably the precursor to an inflamed tonsil after the rain.

"Just now..."

"Okay." Wen Youxia repeated the price, "15 yuan."

It seems that I really don't intend to invite guests.

Qiu Sheng took out a rain-soaked 20-yuan note from his pocket: "Here, I'll keep it for the taxi."

Wen Youxia quickly made the milk tea and handed it to Qiu Sheng.

Behind him, the rain was pouring down like in midsummer, Qiu Sheng stood under the narrow eaves of the container, his back was hit by raindrops from time to time, every time it was bitingly cold.

The milk tea became the heat source in his palm, Wen Youxia even inserted a straw for him.

"Get out after drinking", he thought Wen Youxia meant this.

Qiu Sheng took a sip of the milk tea, it wasn't sweet, there must have been no sugar or other small ingredients, but it was warm and comfortable to drink.The five yuan that Wen Youxia gave him was crumpled between the palm of his hand and the cup of milk tea, revealing a corner in embarrassment.

In September, Qiu Sheng thought for no reason, "Has it rained so much this summer?"

The two clerk girls completely lost interest in him, and hid under the half-person-high counter to watch idol dramas.Wen Youxia still stood very straight, as if looking for trouble, and wiped the counter surface with a veil again and again.

Qiu Sheng and him were relatively silent, and when he noticed that Wen Youxia didn't want to hear him recall the past, he couldn't find anything to say.

What can he say?

If Gu Qi had been here, he might have cut to the chase, pointed at him, and said to Wen Youxia, "Wen Xia, there's something wrong with this guy. If you don't want to talk about it, I'll take him back to take his medicine." Or, "Wen Xia, he sees The person in your video has been abnormal all the time, do you know those college students?"

Of course, Gu Qi is most likely to say nothing and drag him away without negotiating.

After drinking one-third of the milk tea, the rain gradually receded.

Qiu Sheng heard about it and Xia Xia kept his eyes down. Anyway, there were no other guests, so it didn't seem too much to mention something.Besides, if you don't mention it today, Qiu Sheng thinks he will regret it immediately after he leaves.

He bit the straw, leaned over to look at Wen Youxia: "I saw the solo part you played."

"En." Wen Youxia nodded.

Qiu Sheng thought gloomily: Have I chatted to death again?

But Wen Youxia and Wen Youxia haven't seen each other for so long, what else can we talk about besides memories?

When he was scratching his head and reluctantly planning to bring up the old matter again, Wen Youxia's muffled voice came from diagonally in front: "That day...they came to buy drinks and recognized them. He said I was his idol and wanted to see me play a part. "

"You just played it?"

"I didn't know he was going to post it online."

Qiu Sheng wanted to laugh: "If you know it, you won't play it anymore?"

"Ah."

"You're easy to talk." Qiu Sheng observed that Wen Youxia's expression didn't change much, and he didn't mention the old news that was spread out, and commented, "But it's really a bit of a time, at least it hasn't been played for a year or so. Have you touched the piano?"

Hearing this sentence, Wen Youxia put the handkerchief aside and began to tidy up the equipment, ignoring him.

Qiu Sheng bent his eyes contentedly, followed Wen Youxia's movements, glanced at the wiped cabinet surface from time to time, his face was reflected on the metal, it was just a matter of the angle, it was too flat to look good.

The rainstorm came and went quickly, Wen Youxia had almost packed his things, and the sky began to clear up.

The gloomy clouds parted, and the sun shone from the west to the whole sky, illuminating the bright blue after the rain.The leaves were still dripping, and the edges of the patterned floor tiles were not tightly pressed, and the accumulated water overflowed a little from time to time.

After Qiu Sheng finished his milk tea, he pushed the empty cup to the counter: "Let's go—"

Probably because of Jie Huai Wen Youxia's lukewarm attitude, at this moment he suddenly and temporarily lost all the attachments he had before he came here.For example, let Wen Youxia read the comments others said about them, for example, tell him that we fight and some ignorant brats took a video and posted it on the Internet...

For example, he always wanted to ask Wen Youxia, do you still often have trouble falling asleep?

Did you think of me when you couldn't sleep?

It's okay to have dreamed about it.

I dreamed of you every day for a while, but you kept silent.

The instant relief made Qiu Sheng feel that he could forget Wen Youxia the second he was about to turn around because of this cup of milk tea and this unpleasant meeting.As his friends wished, he will return to his world to be a happy normal person.

"Qiu Sheng."

Wen Youxia stopped him and pushed him back into the whirlpool.

The water surged, and he couldn't breathe for a while.

Qiu Sheng didn't want to turn his head, Wen Youxia's expression either hurt him or made him sad.

The corners of his eyes seemed to be drenched with rain again, and he twisted the corners of his clothes uneasily, waiting in anticipation and fear.He didn't hear anything for a while, only the sound of Wen Youxia's footsteps passing through the small door on the far side, and the toes of the pair of shoes appeared in his field of vision, which were as wet as his own.

Wen Youxia seemed to sigh, opened his palms, and handed him the 20 yuan ticket again.

"Let's take a taxi." Wen Youxia said softly, "You'll catch a cold."

Qiu Sheng didn't ask for money, his hatred overflowed for no reason, he stretched out his hand and pushed Wen Youxia violently, hearing the muffled sound when the other party hit the metal counter, he turned his head and strode away.

Of course he knew Wen Youxia's subtext: "Don't come looking for me."
