A collection of short stories about Qingshan as snow and yellow

It rained harder.Yu Wenzhou came to the corridor and saw Huang Shaotian holding a lucky pink dolphin cushion, looking listlessly at the garden.The tropical tree outside the glass wall hangs its head towards the greenhouse, water droplets roll over its huge and smooth leaves, and fall down with a crackling sound.

A brisk vernacular song played from the jukebox in the window made the afternoon less gloomy.Huang Shaotian's eyes were dull, he didn't notice the person walking in front of him at all, so Yu Wenzhou had no choice but to say, "Shaotian?"

The other party immediately jumped up from the bench: "Why are you making no sound when you walk! Did you come back from the report? What time is it? How did you find this place? Did you..."

His voice stopped abruptly and his eyes wandered, as if he didn't want to continue discussing this embarrassing topic.

"Is it something?" Yu Wenzhou laughed.

Huang Shaotian: "Is that right, that's it, have you thought about it... If you don't think about it, don't worry about telling me! I'll go back first!"

He stood up and wanted to leave, but was blocked by Yu Wenzhou.

"I've thought about it." Yu Wenzhou said, "This matter."

Huang Shaotian looked at him anxiously.

"What's the matter?" Yu Wenzhou asked.

Huang Shaotian: "..."

"Okay, I'm not joking." Yu Wenzhou pushed him back into the chair, and sat down beside him himself, "When you asked me this morning if I wanted to date you, I was really taken aback."

Huang Shaotian smiled nervously: "Really? Did it scare you?"

"The main reason is that I've been thinking about how to tell you this matter recently." Yu Wenzhou said, "The language is almost organized, and it turns out that your confession is today... I was also caught off guard."

"Ah," Huang Shaotian said, "Oh, that's it."

After two seconds, the broken string in his mind was finally connected: "So you agree!"

"In other words, you are my boyfriend from now on." Yu Wenzhou concluded.

Huang Shaotian was still a little confused: "This seems to be easier than I imagined... So I think it's not my illusion that you also mean something to me."

Yu Wenzhou: "It's not an illusion. I like you."

"Oh, yes, that's right." Huang Shaotian said calmly, "I like you too."

The two sat side by side under the corridor, silent for a while facing the rain curtain.

"It would be fine if I spoke later." Huang Shaotian said dejectedly, "You said that you are organizing the language, right? I feel that if you speak, you will probably say something more suitable than me, and I will just 'Should I think about it? Hang out with me' - wow that's pretty uninspired. What would you say?"

Yu Wenzhou: "I would say 'Do you want to consider dating me?'"

"..." Huang Shaotian thought for a moment, "Is this the result of your organized language?"

"I need to organize my words for other things." Yu Wenzhou said, "For example, how to explain this problem to you."

He held out his hands.A pair of thin black gloves wrapped around his hands outside the cuffs of his shirt.

"Hey, I'm a little curious about this." Huang Shaotian said, "After all, I don't think I've ever seen you take off your gloves, but everyone has their own secrets, right? I mean, I like you anyway. I like your hands... no, I mean like your hands as well. Anyway, what magic thing is under your glove doesn't affect how I feel about you, whether you've been injured or have a There is no difference between the dark magic circle."

"Really?" Yu Wenzhou said, "What if I actually have a pair of mechanical hands, and my real identity is an fISh-810 battle robot sent from the future to destroy the earth?"

Huang Shaotian: "..."

Yu Wenzhou smiled, and slowly took off his gloves.

First the right hand, then the left.Huang Shaotian held his breath, and he saw a pair—there was nothing missing or too much, no magic circle mechanical joints and barcodes, the skin color was a bit light, the outline was pretty, but it was completely human, and it couldn't be seen at all. There is something unusual about the hand.

"That's it?" he asked in disbelief.

Yu Wenzhou: "That's it."

Huang Shaotian: "Then why are you taking off your gloves so slowly!"

"You seem to be looking forward to it," Yu Wenzhou said, "so I thought about playing it in slow motion."

Huang Shaotian: "...you are so annoying."

Yu Wenzhou stretched his fingers: "Want to take a closer look?"

"No." Huang Shaotian rolled his eyes, "Why do I feel like I've been cheated, your hands can't tell any difference from ordinary people, it doesn't matter even if you don't wear gloves... Let me touch it Look, how about confirming that this is your real hand?"

"It's a real hand, but it won't be touched." Yu Wenzhou said, "Actually, I wear gloves to prevent touching you."

Huang Shaotian: "Ah? Are you some fantasy killer? Or is there a curse that will turn into petrification when you touch it?"

"It's not that exaggerated." Yu Wenzhou put the gloves in his pocket, "This is a long story, let me tell you a story first."

Yu Wenzhou's earliest memories are composed of many scattered pictures and sounds.In the scenes of his consciousness, there are young, old, and late parents, some houses that have just been built and those that are on the verge of being demolished, some friends who greet him with a smile and say goodbye to him with tears, and some present a completely different picture. Streets and alleys with different faces.As a young man, he couldn't sort out the logic of all this. For him, the world was like a negative film that had been repeatedly exposed, full of overlapping and parallel elements.

During his childhood, his family once thought he was a strange and fanciful child.For example, he would say "the flowers in your office need to be watered" to his mother who is on vacation at home, or "I will take your elective class in the future" to the neighbor's professor who has moved away. will hear it from his mouth.Fortunately, before other people thought he had mental problems, Yu Wenzhou figured out what happened to him and carefully concealed it.

To put it simply, when he touches someone with his hand, the scene of the intersection between this person and him in the future will flash before his eyes.

Huang Shaotian was already dumbfounded: "There is still such an operation..."

"There is such an operation." Yu Wenzhou spread his hands,

"My God." Huang Shaotian murmured, "This must bother you."

Yu Wenzhou: "Don't you think this is a kind of talent?"

"Although you can say that." Huang Shaotian sighed, "But the meaning of time doesn't exist anymore. Besides, you must have seen a lot of things that you don't want to see."

"...Yes." Yu Wenzhou said quietly, "If you can choose, it might be better not to have this talent, I think so."

"It seems that no matter where it is in the legend, the prophet is very bitter." Huang Shaotian frowned, "The prophecy sounds pretty cool, but if you are the person around you, you really don't know so much to be happier."

"When I was very young, I saw my relatives lying on the hospital bed decades later and saying goodbye to me." Yu Wenzhou said, "Later, there were all kinds of things I didn't want to know, so for a while I made excuses and insisted on wearing gloves to school."

"For a while?" Huang Shaotian grasped the point, "Didn't you wear it later?"

"Later, when I grew up a little bit, I became more able to deal with such things." Yu Wenzhou said frankly, "It's not difficult to find a way to keep your hands from touching others, and it doesn't matter if you encounter them once or twice. I'm used to it. Although I can't control which paragraph I see, it still has some meaning after all. Instead of pretending that it doesn't exist, it's better to find a way to discover its usefulness."

Huang Shaotian slapped his thigh: "For example, predict the test paper!"

"Theoretically, it is possible, but unfortunately, I have never encountered such a segment." Yu Wenzhou said helplessly, "Probably reading the test paper does not count as the intersection between me and the teacher."

"So... the future you see can be changed?" Huang Shaotian hesitated.

"So far, I don't think it's possible." Yu Wenzhou shook his head, "I haven't encountered an example of changing the future segment, and every scene I've seen has been staged faithfully. However, the segment is just a segment, and what exactly happened is still uncertain. , and I have not become a fateist or a pessimist."

"It's the Yu Wenzhou I know." Huang Shaotian laughed, and then suddenly realized a problem, "You said you didn't wear gloves before, why do you still wear them every time I see you?"

"Because I only wear it in front of you."

Huang Shaotian: "...Huh??"

"I don't want to see our future intersection in this way." Yu Wenzhou said, "I think it's more meaningful to see it with my own eyes."

Huang Shaotian was at a loss for words for a moment, he didn't even notice that his ears were a little red.

"Although I've never been in love, love probably follows this logic." Yu Wenzhou continued, "I don't want to be spoiled, and I don't want to know what will happen in the future. Anyway, today's liking is the most important thing."

"Has anyone told you that you are good at speech?" Huang Shaotian said with the back of his hand against his face.

"You told me more than once." Yu Wenzhou said seriously.

"Be honest, have you been secretly in love with me for a long time?" Huang Shaotian asked.

"It depends on how you define secret love." Yu Wenzhou said calmly, "If it is defined as 'liking that is not noticed by the other party', then it is; if it is defined as 'liking that is not shown by oneself', then it is not."

"Dare you think your performance is very obvious, don't you!" Huang Shaotian said angrily, "After all, you are still saying that I am slow, right! ——Wait a minute, didn't you just deny that it's been 'for a long time'?"

Yu Wenzhou took a rare choke: "...No."

"So it's been a long time?" Huang Shaotian pulled back, "How long? When did it start?"

"Actually," Yu Wenzhou said, "I read a fragment of the future between us before."

Although the topic changed like a drift, Huang Shaotian was still successfully diverted by him: "Is there such a thing? When?"

Yu Wenzhou stood up and took a few steps towards the rain screen: "Do you still remember this place? We first met here."

"Of course I remember!" Huang Shaotian said, "It also seemed to be a lot of rain that time, I really don't understand that they insisted on holding a meeting in this place, that is to say, it is a good thing to know you... Sigh, this good thing is better than a hundred things It's all better together, and I probably have to thank the meeting."

"Yes." Yu Wenzhou blinked, "That was the time."

……

They are at the touch of their fingertips.

Yu Wenzhou stood up straight, and the young man handed him back the last piece of paper that fell out of his folder.The pattering rainwater flowed down from the eaves, and the shadows of green trees shrouded the corridor.

"Fortunately it didn't get wet." The young man smiled, "Are you also here for a meeting?"

His eyes are bright, and his brows are full of spirits.A melodious tune floated from the jukebox through the gap in the nearby window.

Yu Wenzhou came back to his senses and found that the other party was waving in front of him: "Hey, are you okay? Why did you suddenly start to be in a daze? Could it be that the weather in this place is too stuffy, it is said that it would be better to eat some of their local specialties, although I I think it's just a psychological effect... Are you listening to me?"

"I'm fine," he said, "thanks."

"Hey, you don't have to be so polite to pick up a manuscript for you. Besides, I bumped into you. I'm so sorry." The young man babbled, "By the way, are you staying in this hotel? I'm here with our tutor, my name is ..."

"Shaotian." Yu Wenzhou blurted out.

"How do you know?" The other party was dumbfounded. "Oh, did you see the list? There are photos on it. I can't remember who is who at all. What's your name?"

I have to buy a pair of gloves tonight, Yu Wenzhou thought.

"My name is Yu Wenzhou." He said with a smile.
