meet by chance

"Xu Zhou, bring me a charger."

Zhou Linye had just taken a shower, and his whole body was steaming. He was wearing Xu Zhou's T-shirt and pajama pants, which fit him well.

Xu Zhou was sitting on the bed playing with his mobile phone. Hearing this, he took out an old charger from the drawer and threw it to Zhou Linye.

"Thanks."

"You sleep on the bed tonight, and I'll make the floor." Xu Zhou sat down on the made floor.

Zhou Linye was stunned for two seconds, "Why don't we sleep in the same bed?"

Xu Zhou narrowed his eyes and looked up and down Zhou Linye's small body.

"You... seriously?"

Zhou Linye's back felt chills from being stared at.

"Forget it, let it be." Zhou Linye decided to follow Xu Zhou's arrangement.

"Haven't you heard of homosexuality before?" Xu Zhou was lying on the floor with a thin quilt covering his body.

Zhou Linye looked at the ceiling, "There is no such person around me..."

"Boys should also protect themselves outside." Xu Zhou urged.

"Then you are?" Zhou Linye turned his face to the side and looked in Xu Zhou's direction.

"What do you think?" Xu Zhou felt Zhou Linye's gaze and looked over.

"Oh." Zhou Linye looked away, straightened his face, sank his head into the soft pillow, and stared at the ceiling again, "I should be too."

"Really?" Xu Zhou said in a low voice, and Zhou Linye vaguely understood it.

"Xu Zhou, I want to go back after checking the results here."

"Okay, I'll accompany you, sleep."

……

When Zhou Linye woke up, Xu Zhou was still lying on the floor, showing faint signs of waking up.

Zhou Linye checked his body nervously, and there was no weird reaction, Zhou Linye was relieved.

"Scared?" Xu Zhou said quietly.

Zhou Linye was taken aback, "When did you wake up?"

"Just now." Xu Zhou glanced at Zhou Linye, "I thought you weren't afraid."

"What, who made you suddenly talk about homosexuality to me." Zhou Linye said angrily.

"Wake up."

"Oh, wait a minute, my stomach hurts." Zhou Linye rushed into the toilet after speaking.

Sitting on the toilet, Zhou Linye couldn't help but think, this trip is really amazing, like a dream, he actually followed a stranger back home.

It's not like he didn't say hello to the handsome little brother on the way, but no one made him feel like painting like Xu Zhou.

Speaking of which, the first time I saw Xu Zhou, Xu Zhou walked down the street with a dead face like a walking corpse. At that time, the sky was gloomy and the people on the road were in a hurry, only his eyes were walking without focus, decayed and Despair, this is the word that came to Zhou Linye's mind.

But in fact, Xu Zhou's appearance is very youthful, but his whole body is full of ruffian and old-fashioned sophistication.

A melancholy handsome man is too feminine to suit Xu Zhou, but Zhou Linye couldn't think of other adjectives.

Zhou Linye didn't want to see this man so depressed, so he stopped him, "Hey! Handsome guy, how about a portrait?!"

dong dong dong-

"Done yet?"

Xu Zhou knocked on the door outside, Zhou Linye withdrew his thoughts, "Hurry up!"

Zhou Linye tore a few pieces of paper hanging on the wall, and suddenly saw a pill box thrown into the trash can, a bunch of unintelligible English characters, Zhou Linye memorized a few words from the ingredient list, lifted his pants, opened the door, Xu Zhou was no longer in the room.

Opening the door, he found Xu Zhou cooking porridge in the kitchen.

"Your clothes are already hanging on the balcony. They should be dry. Go and change them."

When Xu Zhou heard the movement behind him, he didn't look back, and said to Zhou Linye while cutting a preserved egg.

"okay."

After changing his clothes, Xu Zhou just came out of the kitchen. There was porridge with preserved egg and lean meat boiling in the pot. It was steaming. Galloping, the sound of galloping past, opened the prelude to the morning.

The room was silent, Zhou Linye stood by the door, staring at Xu Zhou, unable to say anything.

Grandma should have just woken up, the slippers were rubbing against the floor, the sound of water came from the room, followed by the sound of a toothbrush colliding with a tooth cup, the water flowed down the sink and flowed into the sewer.

Zhou Linye suddenly didn't know what to say, and stood by the door, staring blankly at Xu Zhou.

To be honest, he felt that Xu Zhou's experience was really miserable. Zhou Linye had endless sympathy for Xu Zhou just because his parents died and his elderly grandma was forced to make a living.

If there is any illness, it will be worse.

Zhou Linye stood by the door blankly, unable to say anything, and felt ashamed that he accidentally peeped into Xu Zhou's secret.

But in the final analysis, he had no position to take care of Xu Zhou's affairs, but a few days of getting along told him that Xu Zhou didn't need this kind of sympathy.

Zhou Linye thought of Xu Zhou's transfer speed, his studies, and his future...

In just a split second, a series of worries flashed in Zhou Linye's mind.

But it doesn't show anything on the face.

Strange...

"What are you thinking about?" He didn't even know when Xu Zhou approached.

"I was thinking, where should we go today?" Zhou Linye looked into Xu Zhou's eyes in a daze.

Not me, but us.

How would he answer?Part-time?Hospital?Or where do you want to go and I accompany you?

"Then where do you want to go?" Xu Zhou was a little taller than Zhou Linye. At this time, the sun outside the window poured into the room, and Xu Zhou seemed to be covered with a layer of golden light. The broken hair on his forehead was crystal clear. A Zhou Linye.

Zhou Linye's heart skipped a beat.

I don't know why, after Zhou Linye had a basic understanding of Xu Zhou's family situation, he felt that a young man with good roots should have a part-time job to make ends meet.

But judging from how we got along these few days, Xu Zhou is quite relaxed...

However, everything should not be judged subjectively. Zhou Linye knew that he was not qualified to judge Xu Zhou's actions and him as a person.

Zhou Linye quickly planned the day's itinerary in his mind, "I... want to sketch, then go to a roadside stall to eat barbecue at night, and go to an Internet cafe to check my grades in the early morning..."

Xu Zhou narrowed his smiling eyes, nodded, and his fingers trembled a few times unconsciously.

"I can take you to climb the mountain. If you go, you carry the drawing board, and I will carry the water to sell."

"Okay, then let's take grandma to the street and then go?"

Xu Zhou pursed his lips in agreement.

Xu Zhou brought Zhou Linye to the wholesale market, bought Red Bull and mineral water in bulk, put them in a backpack, returned to Zhou Linye's hotel, took away the painting tools, and set off on a motorcycle.

Xu Zhou took Zhou Linye to the local forest park. The locals didn't need tickets, and Zhou Linye bought half-price tickets with his student ID.

The stone steps up the mountain are winding and winding.

Xu Zhou walked in front of Zhou Linye, with a heavy drink on his back. The sun shone through the sparse leaves, and the spots of light moved back and forth on Xu Zhou's head.

Pedestrians gradually followed behind, and the tourists in front were no longer visible.

Xu Zhou turned around, stood a few steps higher than Zhou Linye, and looked at Zhou Linye against the light, "Do you want to rest?"

Xu Zhou didn't know that he was wearing holy light at this moment, like a god.

Xu Zhou lowered his head and asked Zhou Linye. Zhou Linye didn't know. At this moment, the sun was spreading evenly on his face, and his eyes were clear, like an angel.

Zhou Linye would not force himself, he was indeed exhausted, and he saw the wetness on Xu Zhou's skirt again, so he nodded.

Xu Zhou sat on the wooden chair next to him, took out a drink from his backpack, and placed it directly on the ground. He sat on the ground and raised the price, fifteen for a bottle, and refused to bargain.

Zhou Linye looked at Xu Zhou with a smile on his face, "Is someone really buying it?"

Xu Zhou pointed at Zhou Linye's backpack and said with a smile, "When you were selling paintings, did you ever think that no one would buy them?"

Zhou Linye had already taken out his sketchbook, holding a carbon pen in his hand, "I didn't think too much about it, I just sold it if I wanted to."

With just a few strokes, Zhou Linye outlined the frame of the human figure.

After a few minutes, the pedestrians behind really came to ask how to sell the water.

When he asked Fifteen a bottle, why not grab it, Xu Zhou said quietly, "It's still more than two hours' journey from here to the top of the mountain." He still didn't say whether he wanted to buy it or not.

The pedestrian still bought three bottles in one go, one bottle for each family of three.

Xu Zhou shook the 45 yuan he just got in front of Zhou Lin, feeling a little proud, "Hey, someone really bought it—"

Zhou Linye couldn't help laughing at the deliberately elongated ending, "Should I call you a little money-making expert?"

Xu Zhou put away the money, and said nonsense in a serious manner, "This is the job of eating youth."

Zhou Linye smiled and didn't answer. He put away the sketchbook, patted his butt and stood up, continuing on his way.

Stopping and stopping all the way, when we reached the top of the mountain, it was already one o'clock in the afternoon. There were a few white clouds floating in the clear blue sky. Standing beside the temple fence on the top of the mountain, overlooking the mountain, the mist shyly hid in the greenery. It feels like the waves are flying in the sky, the sun is scorching, and the breeze is blowing through the ears.

Card--

Zhou Linye heard the reputation, Xu Zhou put down the phone embarrassingly, scratched the back of his head embarrassingly, "I forgot to turn off the sound."

The ears were still blushing.

Zhou Linye grabbed Xu Zhou's neck, forced Xu Zhou to bend down, and held up the phone with his other hand.

Card--

In the photo, Zhou Linye's smile is flying wildly, Xu Zhou's face is sweaty and hawthorn red after being caught, the camera is slamming Xu Zhou's face, and the boy's thick eyelashes can count the specific number.

Zhou Linye let go of Xu Zhou, and sent the photos he just took to Xu Zhou, "If you want to take pictures, let me tell you, it's not like I won't take pictures."

Xu Zhou clicked on the picture, zoomed in, zoomed in—

It would be great if time could stay in this moment forever.

Xu Zhou was in Xiao's mind.

Looking at the shining young man in front of him, he wanted to reach out and grab eternity, but he couldn't reach the road to tomorrow. He didn't know which would arrive first, tomorrow or bad luck.

Leave everything empty to accept the worst.

The blue sky suddenly became dense with white clouds, and then dark clouds swept over the sky. With a loud noise, the sky seemed to be cracked, and raindrops the size of soybeans began to hit the ground.

"Urgent notice, urgent notice, due to the weather, there will be heavy rain coming, which may cause landslides, please don't rush down the mountain, stay on the top of the mountain for the time being, let me tell you again, please don't go down the mountain in a hurry..."

Zhou Linye looked at the sudden heavy rain in shock.

Xu Zhou patted Zhou Linye on the shoulder reassuringly, and explained: "The weather here has always been like this. The weather forecast and the actual weather have their own ideas."

Zhou Linye burst out laughing.

The two followed the panicked crowd to shelter from the rain under the eaves of the temple.

There are guest rooms on the top of the mountain, but looking at the situation, it is difficult to get a seat.

The violent wind carried water droplets and threw them towards the crowd under the eaves. The rain pierced the window lattice like a knife, and the window paper was sunken inwards, and the raised places, with the movement of the wind, had a faint tendency to break.

There was a commotion, and the crowd crowded into the temple.

The temple is very empty, and when the messy footsteps just stepped in, you can still hear the echo.

Under the narrow eaves just now, Zhou Linye's chest, back and back were covered with surging human heads. Now that the crowd dispersed, Zhou Linye couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

Xu Zhou led Zhou Linye to a large pillar in a corner. From here, he could see the giant Buddha statue sideways.

Xu Zhou took out tissues from his backpack, pulled out a few and handed them to Zhou Linye, and took one himself to wipe off the water droplets on his face.

Zhou Linye put the wet tissue into his pocket, "Is there any water in your bag?"

"Have."

Xu Zhou unscrewed the mineral water and handed it to Zhou Linye, adding, "But there is only this bottle."

"Okay, let's drink this bottle of water together." Zhou Linye said indifferently.

Xu Zhou really loves the word "we".

The rain has never stopped, and it has no tendency to become smaller.

The people in the house have shelter from the heavy rain for the time being, and those who are still halfway up the hillside are the ones who are really panicking.
