mountain fog

On the day of the winter solstice, Lin Yikai ate the dumplings sent by his mother. There were two big boxes full of them sealed tightly with thermal insulation bags. He threw one of the boxes on Chen Jite's table and opened it. Lin Yikai pushed the dumplings and fell asleep. The human head woke him up, "Wake up, get up and eat."

"Auntie, have you been here?" The round dumplings were squeezed into a ball in the lunch box, exuding heat, and he picked one up with his fingers and threw it into his mouth. The springy shrimps were very chewy. Chen Jite picked up the lunch box and raised his head excitedly. He wanted to exchange a few meals with Lin Yikai, but when he looked up, he saw Ma Qunyao opening his mouth and lowering his head to bite off the dumpling that Lin Yikai was holding. Putting it back on his table, Chen Jite frowned, and his downcast eyes fell on Lin Yikai's moisture-stained fingers, "Eat by yourself, I'm not very hungry."

"What's wrong with him?" Lin Yikai was stunned for a while and didn't react. Ma Qunyao turned his head and looked at the people passing by the window, and then looked away as if nothing had happened. The box was almost empty. The moving dumplings were pushed in front of Ma Qunyao, and Lin Yikai handed over the chopsticks to signal him to continue, "This box is stuffed with leeks and shrimps. It's delicious. Try it."

"Is it delicious?" Lin Yikai's mouth was full, "Hurry up and eat, and go wash the dishes with me after eating."

"Art is a little weird recently." Lin Yikai rinsed the foam off his hands under the water and shook it off. The more he thought about it, the more he felt something was wrong. "Is this kid regressing puberty? Why is he so moody?" Ma Qunyao tilted his head and stared at him. Seeing him not talking, I don't know whether I should mention him or not.

For example, [Do you like Art? 】some type of.

"Do you like him?" Ma Qunyao put the drained lunch box in a thermal bag and handed it to Lin Yikai. The person who was suddenly asked was stunned for a moment, and then he frowned and answered, "Who? Art?"

"I like it, there is no one in the world who doesn't like my younger brother." Lin Yikai glared at him, as if he had reacted with hindsight, "Can you make your words clearer, I thought you said That kind of liking."

Ma Qunyao blocked the way out. He leaned against the door frame and asked Lin Yikai innocently, "What kind of like? What kind of like? Is it the kind I tell you every time?"

Ma Qunyao was laughing, but he didn't know what he was laughing at. Lin Yikai frowned, and his face turned cold, "Can you stop making jokes like this all the time? I'm not in the mood to make trouble with you." The boredom of being teased rose into the The chest pinched his blood, Lin Yikai turned sideways and wanted to go out from the door, the early break was about to end, everyone was rushing to the classroom, what happened in the tea room No one noticed at all, Ma Qunyao grabbed Lin Yikai's arm and pulled him forward, staggered two steps and almost fell into Ma Qunyao's arms Lin Yikai raised his head in disbelief, Ma Qunyao was looking at him, his eyes had already No smile, "Do you think what I told you were all jokes?"

"Or do you think that I, like Chen Jite, are just a younger brother who needs to be taken care of?"

Lin Yikai withdrew his hand and took a few steps back, his face was completely cold, "Get out of the way, I don't know what you are talking about."

"Lin Yikai..." Ma Qunyao took two steps forward but was interrupted by the sudden ringing of the class bell. Lin Yikai shook his head and rubbed shoulders with him, "Go back to class."

Standing at the door of the tea room, Ma Qunyao lowered his head and clenched his fists weakly.

The days after the winter solstice are getting colder, there is always snow in the sky, and the large expanses of snow on the ground are getting thicker and thicker. Lin Yikai held his chin and looked out the window, and the snow falling from the branches fell on the ground It was covered with a thicker layer, the stage play was almost ready, and the rehearsal time was reduced to only practice once a day. Xiangxiang yawned and sighed on the table, "Sure enough, the feeling of sitting with Xueba is not good. Same, thanks to your reminder just now, otherwise I would be punished for copying math problems."

Lin Yikai changed seats, and Ma Qunyao's strange change made him restless and extremely irritable. In addition, Chen Jite's temper from time to time made him almost insane, so after two days of staying with Ma Qunyao with a cold face, Lin Yikai Kai resolutely carried his schoolbag and moved to Xiangxiang's side, simply staying away from the bad circle with Art and Ma Qunyao in the back row.

Xiangxiang was lying on the table with silly joy, Lin Yikai glanced at her, and when his eyes passed by, his eyes fell on the stack of books she piled up on the table, among them was a torn print case that caught his attention. "Xiangxiang..." Lin Yikai stretched out his hand and pulled it out, "What is your book?"

"Ah? This?" Xiangxiang glanced at it, and then lay down lazily, "It's the March issue of "Fashion". If you want to read it, you can take it. The comics in it... are pretty good."

Yawning, Xiangxiang narrowed his eyes and carefully watched him open the book, then widened his eyes in disbelief, then blushed inexplicably, as if he saw something he shouldn't read.

Lin Yikai threw the book back with lingering fear. As soon as he opened it, he saw two good-looking men hugging and kissing. The picture he just saw was shaken out of his mind, but Xiangxiang's smile and the appearance of a successful prank made him more and more unforgettable. Lin Yikai stretched out his hand and blushed and gave her a shudder, "Girl Jiajia Yes, what to watch all day long!"

"Why hit me!" Xiang Xiang defended, covering his head, "This is just a cartoon!"

Too lazy to quarrel with her, Lin Yikai sat upright and stopped talking to her. The tablemate Chen Jite in the back seat bumped Erlang's legs in amazement and asked, "Hey, does Lin Yikai like Xiangxiang?"

"How would I know?" Chen Jite looked up and then lowered his head again. He didn't think there was anything strange, but his deskmate kept asking him, "Aren't you best friends? You don't even know this." ?”

"That's right, he seems to be hanging out with Ma Qunyao recently, did he forget about you brother?"

"But they seemed to be arguing two days ago. I heard it when I passed by the tea room. You said that two people fell in love with Xiangxiang at the same time, and then the friend turned into a rival and broke up... Hey, I haven't said where you are going. It's over!"

Too lazy to listen to his ink marks, Chen Jite turned out of the classroom by the back door and went to the toilet. The words of his deskmate made him gasp in his chest and he couldn't let it go. He put his hands in the faucet and rubbed them vigorously. Just as he was about to turn off the water, the door at the end of the toilet was suddenly opened. Hearing the movement, Chen Jite glanced up and suddenly laughed, "Does he know you smoke?"

"What's none of your business?" Ma Qunyao walked over and washed his hands hastily and taunted him, "Take care of yourself."

"What Ah Lin hates the most is people like you who don't learn well."

Ma Qunyao raised his eyebrows with his hands wrapped around his face, "Me? Are you sure you're not a double-faced person like you who is docile on the outside and sharp on the back?"

Chen Jite looked at him with a sneer, "No matter what, Alin and I are friends who grew up together. We are close without distinguishing between you and me, but you are just an outsider who broke in halfway. Alin is just looking after you. I got some of you and you posted it like a dog, wagging your tail and baring your teeth to show off with me, do you deserve it?"

"You are just a person who is pitied by him. Don't dream, can't you see it? Alin likes Xiangxiang, even if he likes men, he won't like you." Seeing Ma Qunyao's face getting darker and darker, Art The stagnant anger in his heart was relieved instead, and he satirized him almost mockingly, "Why are you angry? Or do you think this is the truth? At most half a year, after half a year, you will have nothing to do with the college entrance examination. Have you been by your side? In what capacity? Have you only been a classmate for less than a year?"

"Alin and I will be good friends for life, and you? What are you? You are nothing."

The confrontation ended in silence, Ma Qunyao couldn't refute his words, he could only watch him leave arrogantly with red eyes, and the clenched fist in his hand also failed to hit the opponent's face.

When returning to the classroom, Chen Jite was lying on Xiangxiang's seat and whispering to Lin Yikai. He watched from behind, as if everything was just as Chen Jite said, he was just a classmate without a name , is a person who will be left out in the cold if he is angered by a word.

Chen Jite wrinkled his nose and acted like a baby with him, begging him to go home to stay with him at night, "Grandma was picked up by my aunt, and there is no one at home, I don't care, you have to go back and sleep with me."

"Are you a child?" Lin Yikai pushed his head away, "Or am I your father?"

"Mingzi and I borrowed a new game card, are you sure you don't want to play together?"

At the end of the evening rehearsal, Chen Jite put Lin Yikai's shoulders and walked away talking and laughing with him. He really borrowed a game card. Going to bed, when Chen Jite took his clothes to take a shower, Lin Yikai sat on the sofa alone and played with his mobile phone, playing with the things he saw from Xiangxiang during the day, and then popped out of his head again, scratching his head Hesitating again and again, as if driven by curiosity, Lin Yikai opened the webpage and entered the word [Danmei] in the search bar.

After the webpage was loaded, a lot of garbled pictures popped up. Lin Yikai only glanced at the picture with a weird pose at the beginning, then widened his eyes and threw the phone away.

With lingering fears in his heart, he gave himself up, and unconsciously connected the picture with what Ma Qunyao said. Ma Qunyao said that he liked him. Could it be this kind of liking?

Chen Jite, who forgot to change his clothes, just came back and saw Lin Yikai throwing his mobile phone on the ground, the mobile phone slid forward twice until it reached his toes, he lowered his head, and the contents of the mobile phone page were all read by him at a glance Looking at it, Lin Yikai was really flustered and blushed, he almost crawled over, took the phone back and held it in his hand, and tried to explain to the person in front of him, "Listen to me, Art, it's not what you see As I saw it, I... er... I accidentally clicked on this, and I was taken aback, I... I'm not that or something, cough, I'm not... Art?"

The person in front of him didn't respond at all, Lin Yikai squatted on the ground and waved at him, "Hello? What's wrong? Are you stupid?"

"Alin." Art stared at him, "What are you looking at?"

"No..." Lin Yikai hurriedly waved his hands, but before he finished speaking, he was interrupted, "Do you like men?"

"No, no, no." Lin Yikai denied it quickly, and then turned and walked to the kitchen, "Don't think too much, I accidentally clicked in, and I was shocked... Hey!"

Being grabbed by the arm and pulled back, Lin Yikai stared wide-eyed and grabbed the latch next to him to barely fall down. He turned his head and was about to swear when he saw Chen Jite with red eyes, staring at him as if he was about to cry After touching him, Lin Yikai finally realized something was wrong. Chen Jite held on tightly, and Lin Yikai frowned in pain to let him go, "You let go, why are you nervous? I told you I'm not... ..."

"I like you Alin!" I didn't expect to say it so easily, both of them were stunned, Lin Yikai pushed him hard in disbelief, "You fucking let me go, one or two What kind of neurosis do you have?"

"I really like you, listen to me, Ah Lin..." Chen Jite held him tight and didn't let go, wishing to open his whole heart for him to see, "I have liked you since I was a child, not a brother The kind of liking I want is to be with you..."

Snapped.

With a crisp slap in the face, Lin Yikai kicked him on the knee before pulling his wrist back smoothly. The face that was flushed just now had faded to pale. He picked up the clothes that were on the sofa and turned to walk towards the door. Chen Jite went to stop him, but he slapped him backhand again.

"Alin!"

"Do not touch me!"

The door opened suddenly, bringing in the cold air from the outside swirling in with the wind. Chen Jite, who was covered in goosebumps from the cold air hitting his calves, hurriedly took a few steps back to avoid the air current, and raised his head again. At that time, Lin Yikai had already lowered his head and rushed into the snowy night, looking at the stumbling man running in the night, Chen Jite recalled the past in a daze, and the scene in front of him gradually formed with some details in his memory There is a subtle coincidence, the scenes where they used to coax Lin Yikai in different ways when they quarreled are still vivid in my memory, but in a blink of an eye, it seems that it has been a long time since they first met and became friends when they were six years old Up to now, it has been a long time, will Lin Yikai come back to coax him?Wiping away the tears that kept pouring out, Chen Jite choked up and knelt down to hug himself, just like Lin Yikai did every time he hugged him.

Ma Qunyao, who came back to the dormitory alone, sat in the empty dormitory and rubbed his temples helplessly. The feeling of powerlessness spread all over his body. The headache affected his veins and made him drowsy. Ma Qunyao seemed to be dreaming in a trance. On the side of the road, he was stuffed with an ice cream by a boy wearing a hat. The boy smiled brightly and vividly. He bent down to block the glaring sun behind him, and his voice was clear and loud.

"Excuse me, how do I get to Taiping Reef Park?"

It was a bright summer day, wasn't it?The frown spread out, the door of the dormitory was pushed open and closed, Lin Yikai stood behind the door in a snowstorm, Ma Qunyao closed his eyes, and smiled softly in his sleep.
