Low fever

The sky in the early morning is covered with a thin layer of feathery clouds, and the light is coming from the horizon, dispelling the thick night ink, and there are still a few cold stars twinkling in the mist.

Mu Xinghai copied a small road with few people, his shoulders were wet with dew, and at the end, he saw Ruan Chen in mountaineering attire.

Ruan Chen didn't know how long he had been waiting, but when he saw him, before he approached, he waved to him happily.

Ruan Chen was smiling at him.

Mu Xinghai's footsteps froze for half a second, and then became strangely brisk.

He felt his facial muscles move and seemed to be laughing too.

Mu Xinghai has a sense of accomplishment about this, Ruan Chen is an extremely shy person who doesn't like to laugh, and rarely smiles at him like this.Like a flash in the pan, he just smiled, his eyes lit up, and then slowly retreated to a calm and reserved posture.

Carrying the bag, Mu Xinghai trotted to Ruan Chen's side: "Have you been waiting for a long time? I'm too slow."

Ruan Chen shook his head and said, "It's not too late, I came too early."

Then the two set off to camp.

It was early enough that they barely met anyone as they left school together.

Mu Xinghai enjoys this secret relationship very much.

Some friends found that he was always unable to get appointments recently, and asked him what he was doing, and he lied and perfunctory.He didn't tell anyone he was teasing a male admirer to make it up.

The more he interacted with Ruan Chen, the more he felt that they should not be friends at all.

Ruan Chen is withdrawn and mischievous. In this era of Internet information explosion, he still insists on living with cash, does not handle electronic money business, knows nothing about popular stars, has never heard of modern pop music, and has no clothes or shoes. The new ones, the material desires in places other than their own interests are so low that they are outrageously low, almost like a Qing monk.

The exact opposite of him.

A bumpy mountain road ahead.

Mu Xinghai drove carefully. The car was his own. It was a gift from his parents on his 20th birthday. It was barely enough for Ruan Chen and their mountaineering and camping equipment.

They only brought one tent, and although there were two sleeping bags, Mu Xinghai couldn't help but worry. Could this be Ruan Chen's deliberate design.

Shouldn't he be attacked at night?

Ruan Chen was also nervous.

Mu Xinghai glanced at him, saw that his brows were slightly frowned, as if he was in a daze, he was worried about why, and couldn't help asking: "What's wrong? Did you not sleep well last night?"

"Fortunately..." Ruan Chen said.

Ruan Chen glanced at the phone.

He stayed up late last night to finish his junior sister's homework and sent it to her. The junior junior sister was probably still sleeping and did not reply to him.

There are not many chat records between the two of them, and they can be read after just a few flips, but even if he doesn't read it, he still remembers what Jiang Tingting said to him.

Too tormented.

【Brother, it's not that I don't write, it's that I really have something to do...】

[I'm in a bad mood now, I can't read books or write homework at all]

【My boyfriend seems to be cheating】

[I hope you can keep this matter a secret for me, I don’t want to make it too ugly]

[I know we should break up, but I just can't bear him, I'm so sad]

Jiang Tingting is his beloved girl, seeing her suffer, Ruan Chen also suffers.

So he took the initiative to approach Mu Xinghai.

But after getting along with Mu Xinghai during this time, he doesn't think that Mu Xinghai is a bad person, on the contrary, he even thinks that Mu Xinghai is a very good friend, considerate and careful, like a spring breeze.

He thought, maybe being a friend and being a lover are two different things.

Mu Xinghai is a good person, so there are many people who like him.

Ruan Chen was a bit sour, Mu Xinghai was obviously younger than him, but full of masculine charm, so he was popular with women.

He has the girl he likes, but he doesn't know how to cherish it.

It was still noon when they arrived at the campsite.

Set up the tent and set up the cooking utensils by the river.

Ruan Chen set up a small pot, poured canned meat and vegetables into it, and made a meal.

This was the first time Mu Xinghai went camping, he looked at the bubbling thick soup and asked, "What did you do when you came here alone?"

Ruan Chen said: "Look at nature, eat, read, rest, and watch the stars at night."

——The reason why he asked Mu Xinghai to come out this time was to watch the stars together at night.

It sounds really boring, but Mu Xinghai thinks that just getting along with Ruan Chen is very interesting. His every move seems to have deep meaning in his eyes, and it seems to reveal secret signs of love.

He's curious now.

Ruan Chen looks thin and thin, but he can lift such a heavy object, so does he actually have a muscular body under his clothes?

But Ruan Chen has always been abstinent in his clothes, and he has to button up his shirts to the top, never exposing any skin.

Ruan Chen also brought a foldable recliner over here. It doesn't look like a valuable item, but it looks very comfortable. After eating, he puts the recliner under the shade of the tree and reads with a book, feeling comfortable to rest.

A gesture of asking Mu Xinghai to take care of himself.

Again.well.

Mu Xinghai was quite uncomfortable. Ruan Chen said he liked him, but he would always be so indifferent, as if he had entered his own world, which made him completely confused, like scratching the tip of his heart with a feather, itching.

Maybe Wenqing is like this.he thinks.Mu Xinghai had no choice but to ask Ruan Chen to read the book, which made him sleepy.

At night.

We can finally watch the stars together.

When Ruan Chen encountered something he liked, he began to introduce it to him enthusiastically.

He talked endlessly, without any sleepiness.

They sat side by side, Ruan Chen looked up at the starry sky, while Mu Xinghai looked sideways at Ruan Chen.

The light of the kerosene lamp was reflected on Ruan Chen's face. He focused and obsessively looked at the starry sky. The corners of his mouth were slightly raised. He was no longer tense and nervous when living in human society. He felt extremely relaxed, and his eyes were filled with starlight. His eyes were gentle and hot.Ruan Chen sat with his knees bent, his chin resting on his knees, like a child, exuding a fragile innocence.

Mu Xinghai couldn't move his eyes away, and he felt a desire to protect. In fact, he didn't care about the stars at all, he just wanted to see Ruan Chen's appearance when he opened his heart.

The dull and clumsy Ruan Chen seemed to be a different person, and he said softly:

"I've read a passage before, saying that the light spot we see now may have embarked on a journey from his planet millions of years ago."

"At that time, the earth may still be in chaos. While those rays of light traveled through the boundless universe, human beings continued to evolve, changing life and death generation after generation. Therefore, after tens of millions of years, these messengers who came from afar reflected into our sight."

"When we look at him, what we see actually travels through a long time and space."

"Sitting here, I can't help but wonder, maybe the little light I see now came from a star explosion hundreds of millions of years ago?"

"In my opinion, this is the most romantic thing in the world. So I can sit here and watch the stars all night without getting bored."

At this time, Ruan Chen lowered his head, as if returning to the world, tilted his head, and turned to look at the people beside him: "Thank you, Mu Xinghai, for accompanying me to watch the stars."

Mu Xinghai smiled: "I also had a good time."

Ruan Chen stared at him and said, "I have no friends, this is the first time someone is with me."

He said it so shyly and sincerely, Mu Xinghai's heartbeat suddenly became chaotic: "It's...is it?"

The eyes of the two met in the dim light, and it was as if the apex of each other's hearts had been scalded.

Ruan Chen looked away, he lowered his head, staring at a certain dust in the air.

Mu Xinghai's ears turned red when he saw him.

I thought to myself, how long have we known each other, and I still blush after being looked at by him for a while.

For some reason, Mu Xinghai heard himself say: "You took the initiative to ask me out, just to watch the stars?"

Ruan Chen seemed to be caught doing bad things, his ears twitched, and he trembled slightly. He gave a soft "huh" and said, "...I have something else I want to tell you."

Mu Xinghai felt as if he was forcing his prey into a trap, and asked, "What's the matter?"

Ruan Chen's face was blushing, and after a while, he trembled slightly. He mustered up the courage to turn around again, and asked, "What do you think love is?"

"I think... love should be faithful and unswerving."

This confession made Mu Xinghai almost dizzy, as if a star exploded in his chest.

At this moment when he was stared at by this pale face with small freckles, the dim fire in those eyes seemed to fall on his heartstrings, making a small "click" sound, which was the string of old reason The sound of being burned.Suddenly, Mu Xinghai fully understood why Lin Mu fell in love with Ruan Chen.

Ruan Chen has his own world, reclusive and independent, and no one else is allowed to enter. He couldn't help, couldn't help, couldn't help thinking, if he could enter Ruan Chen's world, how fulfilling he would be.

When I came back to God.

He's already kissed it.

Ruan Chen blushed so much that he was about to bleed, as if he had been fooled by a kiss, he stared at him with wide eyes.

Glasses are too much of a hindrance.

Mu Xinghai took off his glasses, put one hand on the side of his face, stroked his cheek with his thumb, stroked it twice, swam back, held the back of Ruan Chen's head, and pinched the back of his neck. This is his habit.

Ruan Chen faltered, as if he wanted to say something, but he lost the ability to organize his words, and just as he was about to speak, he kissed him again.

Ruan Chen said: "You, you have a girlfriend...you can't do this."

Mu Xinghai said: "We have already broken up."

Ruan Chen was dumbfounded, and couldn't tell the truth from the fake for a while.Maybe Ruan Chen is still Jiang Tingting's boyfriend, just lying to him.Otherwise, Jiang Tingting was lying to him, he couldn't believe it.

And asked him bluntly: "Do you want to do it?"

Ruan Chen paused before shaking his head: "No, I don't want to."

But Mu Xinghai forcefully seized his weakness, which made him wet with tears of shame.

Mu Xinghai kissed his ear and said, "That's not how you answer here."

"You want to do it, I want to do it too, let's do it. I haven't done it with anyone for a long time."

"Although I didn't wear a condom."

"But, anyway, men can't get pregnant."
