you're so stubborn

The tavern is in an old alley, the store is quite small, it is estimated to be less than [-] square meters, which fits the name of the store, and the owner is also a very open-minded person, who does not open a store to make money , just play.

During the day, I invite a group of old men and old ladies to bask in the sun at the door while chatting about the mountains. When I am excited, I invite the old men and old ladies to drink some wine, not to mention how interesting it is.

The old alleys are not very soundproof, so this tavern provides a quiet bar for the sad people in the city at night. The bar will not exceed six people, and more than six people will not be accepted, and there are no regular pubs in the store resident singing and games.

Just wine and stories.

The front door of the tavern is not big, basically it doesn't exist.

When Ouchen came over, he didn't notice which direction the door of the tavern was opening, and he saw a painting wall different from other dilapidated brick walls.

This wall is quite long, estimated to be more than two meters long. The paintings on the wall are vague, a bit abstract, and the colors are quite monotonous, only black, white and red.

The three colors are differentiated into countless lines of different thicknesses, which seem to form an absurd and gentle strange dream between intersecting and scattered. Some people wake up in the strange dream, and some sink in the strange dream.

Ou Chen didn't even think about it at the time, he directly squeezed Xie Lang's palm and asked him.

"Did you paint this wall?" There was still a little bit of complacency in the boyfriend's painting style in his eyes.

"The eyes are really good." Xie Lang glanced at him quite unexpectedly.

This wall painting was painted by him two years ago. At that time, his painting skills were not very mature. When he was suddenly contacted by the boss, he didn't dare to accept it. However, the boss was quite bold and only gave the He can draw three characters casually.

The boss said that he could paint casually, but Xie Lang still didn't dare to paint casually. The young boy stayed up for several nights looking at street paintings at home and abroad, and finally found the inspiration to write, so he dared to take it.

Looking back now after two years, Xie Lang still feels that he is quite awesome.

Isn't the tavern in the old alley just an absurd dream?

"It's cold, don't come in." The boss saw that the two of them didn't go in after they came, and he waited to leave again, so he came out and called them.

Ou Chen followed the sound and saw a head protruding from the crack of the old door. It was so dark that he couldn't see the face clearly, so he didn't speak, and squeezed Xie Lang's palm.

"Come on," Xie Lang pulled Ouchen towards the door, and said as he walked, "The owner of this store, Tong Mu, used to chat with him when he took over his work, but he hasn't talked since then, but he's quite nice. Not bad."

"Why explain so much?" Ou Chen smiled, "I didn't ask."

Xie Lang smiled and said nothing.

After entering the store, Ou Chen realized why Xie Lang told him that.

Nothing else, this boss named Tongmu is pretty damn handsome, with a cropped cut, mature, full of unrestrained and free-spirited handsomeness.

If Xie Lang didn't vaccinate him in advance, Ou Chen would have to hold on to this matter and talk to him.

But now that Xie Lang had explained it to him in advance, he seemed a little too narrow-minded if he babbled.

So Ou Chen killed the narrow-mindedness that gradually emerged in his heart in advance.

"Dinner and wine are already on the table, and the cake is in the refrigerator at the bar," the boss named Tongmu explained to Xie Lang while putting on his coat, "You can use the projector with Bluetooth on your phone, remember to lock the door when you leave, no problem Bar."

"No problem, brother," Xie Lang said, "Go and do your work."

"Well, then I'm leaving, you two can take care of yourself... Brother!" Tong Mu was almost at the door, and then turned back and said to Ou Chen, "I'm afraid I didn't give it to you when the noodles were delivered. Prepare longevity noodles, if you really want to eat them, let Langlang cook them for you, I have something in my backyard, he knows."

"..." Ou Chen was a little numb from the 'brother' shout, but he still nodded politely, "Understood...brother, bro...slow down .”

"Happy birthday, you two have fun, bye." Tong Mu turned and opened the door and left.

"Hey..." Before Ou Chen could say thank you, the old door had already been closed, and the cold wind that poured in covered his face. He looked at Xie Lang inexplicably, "The boss is gone, Let us stay here by ourselves, isn't he afraid that we will vacate his shop?"

"It's okay, he often does business by himself." Xie Lang pulled Ochen's hand out of his pocket, pointed to the small table by the window, "sit there."

"Damn!" Ou Chen yelled in surprise as soon as he sat down.

"...As for being so surprised, young master?" The dishes arranged on the small table were covered with casual lids, and Xie Lang took them down one by one and put them on the window sill.

"No..." Ou Chen raised Xie Langyun's very warm hand, "Just now we two held hands in front of him... just... just holding hands like that? Damn it Still in your pocket?"

"Ah, it seems to be like this." Xie Lang didn't notice this at first, but now he was reminded by Ou Chen, he was a little bit embarrassed, but he still felt Ou Chen Chen's silly appearance is very cute.

"Goddamn it looks like it! It's good in the first place!" Ou Chen withdrew his hand very speechlessly, frowned and pondered for a while, then asked again, "Hey, Xie Lang, what happened to us just now... .Does he have any...other views on you?"

"I don't know, what does he think has anything to do with me," Xie Lang said indifferently, "I'm not dating someone else's boyfriend... Hurry up and eat, it's time to get cold."

"That's the truth..." Ou Chen picks up the knife and fork and tastes the steak, it's okay, it's quite hot, the meat is charred on the outside and tender on the inside, which is the degree of doneness he likes.

"Is the steak delicious?" Xie Lang saw that he was eating in a leisurely manner, afraid that he would not like it, so he asked.

"It's not bad," Ouchen said, "In terms of taste, this steak is barely ranked fourth in my heart."

"It's still about taste," Xie Lang smiled, "If it doesn't matter about taste."

"It doesn't matter what the taste is..." Ou Chen tapped the transparent vase containing a red rose with a fork, "This is what my boyfriend asked me to prepare."

Xie Lang glanced at the charmingly blooming red rose, but said nothing.

"It was prepared by my boyfriend, so we have to talk about the mood," Ou Chen said in a low voice, his greasy voice seems to be overheard by others, "In terms of mood, my elder brother Xie Lang is the number one and the only one. .”

"...It's about the steak, and you pulled it on me again," Xie Lang sighed in admiration when he said it, "I think you are seriously ill."

But my heart is warm.

After Ou Chen finished speaking, he also felt that he was seriously ill, so he had fun for a long time.

The meal was talked and laughed for more than an hour. Just now, the two of them didn't know whether they were really hungry or they were afraid that the food would get cold if they ate too slowly. No one noticed that there was still a bottle of red wine awake in the corner of the table.

Now that the meal was over, Ou Chen noticed that there was still wine on the table. He tilted his head towards Xie Lang, "Hey, Brother Xie Lang, what do you think is that?"

Xie Lang was wiping his mouth, when he heard the sound and followed Ouchen's gaze to look at the corner of the table, he was speechless at that moment, "...forgot."

Xie Lang's deflated expression was dumbfounded, quite similar to Xie Yuyu's little fool who couldn't turn his head around.

Ou Chen was so rare, he leaned on the table and went over to touch his face, "It's all right, it's all right, shouldn't we be in a hurry to leave now, let's have a drink while chatting later."

"...that's the only way to go," Xie Lang sighed, rolled up the tissue and threw it into the trash can, then pressed Ochen's hand, "Sit by yourself for a while, I'll go Go to the bathroom."

"Where is the bathroom? Is it far? Come back quickly, or I'll be scared alone." Ouchen beeped a series of times.

"..." Xie Lang sat back on his butt that was just about to lift up, "I'm not going, come, let's have a drink with Brother Ouchen."

"Don't, don't, don't..." Ou Chen cheerfully went to pick up the decanter bottle in his hand, "You're kidding, you look stingy, go quickly, I'll wait for you here."

"Not afraid anymore?" Xie Lang raised his eyebrows and looked at him.

"Isn't it ink?" Ou Chen clicked on him.

Xie Lang glanced at him speechlessly, got up and went to the bathroom.

The toilet is in the backyard, but Xie Lang didn't come out because he wanted to go to the toilet, but he could pass the bar when he was going to the toilet, and the projector and small refrigerator were in the bar.

However, he still went to the backyard to blow the cold wind for a while. He didn't feel it when he was eating just now, but now he felt a little nervous for no reason.

Xie Lang had never prepared a surprise for anyone, and he couldn't figure out whether the gift he prepared this time was a surprise, or he couldn't figure out whether Ou Chen liked such a gift.

The cold wind blows Xie Lang's heart a little. He was afraid that Ou Chen would not like it, and later he was afraid that he did not do well enough to make Ou Chen feel regretful on their first birthday when they started dating.

To put it bluntly, Xie Lang just didn't have much confidence in the things he rushed out after staying up all night.

But no matter how confident he is, he can only do this. At this moment, he can't conjure something that Ou Chen likes 100% out of thin air, so he can only be reckless.

The cold wind in the backyard has a light fragrance of flowers, and I didn't smell any flowers. I just thought it smelled good. When I took a deep breath, it relieved the uneasy tension.

Xie Lang didn't turn around until he was less nervous, and went back to the house.

Ochen in the room had already changed to a tatami seat. There was a small table on the tatami. On the small table were a decanter bottle and two goblets that had already been poured. There was a branch of red wine between the two goblets. Rose.

Seeing Xie Lang come back, he quickly waved his hands and shouted, "Xie Lang, here."

"I see," Xie Lang smiled and walked into the bar, "The shop is only this small, I can see it wherever you go."

"Isn't it because I'm afraid you won't see me?" Ou Chen looked at him meanly, "What are you doing, stealing?"

"That's right," Xie Lang bent down to open the refrigerator door, "It's also a birthday anyway, so why don't I steal a birthday cake for Brother Ouchen?"

"Ouch," Ou Chen laughed, "I'm so touched."

"Really, I don't believe it, unless you write an [-]-word essay." Xie Lang took out a six-inch small cake and put it on the bar, and took out a candle from the bag and stuck it on top of the cake.

"Damn..." Ou Chen said, "You are so unreasonable."

"What's the reason with my boyfriend?" Xie Lang looked up at Ou Chen after speaking, "Are you reasonable?"

"...Why don't we celebrate your birthday first, let's have a fight first." Ou Chen looked back at him.

"No, I'm a reasonable person." Xie Lang finished the cake and didn't rush out of the bar. Instead, he turned on the projector and connected it to his mobile phone's Bluetooth. After selecting the mode, he carried the cake and walked towards the tatami past.

There are no ambient lights in the bistro, and the lighting is not very bright. The light and shadow emitted by a few warm yellow bulbs covered in old lampshades are very mottled. Xie Lang walked over with a birthday cake in his hands, every step seemed to be stepped on by time on the memory point.

Ou Chen stared at him for a long time without blinking, his obsessed mind automatically engraved this picture.

Years later, he could still recall this scene.

"I didn't steal the cake. I made it myself." Xie Lang held the cake and sat cross-legged next to Ou Chen, looked him in the eyes and said, "It's not well done, but I still want to give it to you."

In fact, the cake is not bad, at least the surface is quite smooth, but the style on the top is a bit too simple, and only four simple words are written with red cream - happy birthday

I don't know which words poked my eyes, or which words of Xie Lang poked my heart.

Ou Chen's eyes, which were staring at Xie Lang closely, became fuzzy, but Xie Lang's face was still clearly reflected in his eyes.

The tavern was quiet for a long time, until the wind from outside came in through the crack of the door, Ouchen said softly with a nasal voice, "Our young master is picky about cakes, if they don't taste good, I will lose my temper of."

"Send it, young master," Xie Lang pressed the corner of his eyes, "I'm coaxing you."

"I don't believe it, unless you coax him first." Ou Chen sniffed and moved closer to Xie Lang.

Xie Lang, who was talking about coaxing others, leaned back with a smile, and lifted the cake under Ochen's nose, "Light the candles first, it's almost twelve o'clock."

Ou Chen is also easy to talk at the moment, if he doesn't kiss, he won't kiss, let him light the candle first, then he nodded obediently and said, "Okay then, where is the lighter?"

Xie Lang took out a lighter from his pocket and gave it to him.

"Can you coax after blowing out the candles?" Ou Chen asked him again before lighting the fire.

"...Yes, yes, yes." Xie Lang said in succession.

Ou Chen smiled and lit the birthday candles.

The flickering light flickered in the eyes of the two of them, Xie Lang looked into Ouchen's eyes and said, "Close your eyes and make a wish."

"The two of us are in our thirties together, so we don't need to mess with the sense of ritual to fool children." Ou Chen laughed and disliked, "It's not childish enough."

During the two years when Ouchen was in kindergarten, he always made a wish for his mother to come back soon. Later, he made a lot of wishes and never saw his mother come back. He knew that such things as making wishes were deceitful and would never come true, so he later I never made a wish again.

The illusory expectation of wishing will only make people more greedy, and once people start to be greedy, it will be difficult to be happy again.

So Ou Chen has no wish, no expectation, he is very satisfied with everything he has now, and satisfaction is an indestructible force, enough for him to hold everything he has firmly in his hands, without loosening it. put.

"Okay." Xie Lang didn't bother to go through this procedure when he celebrated his own birthday. If it wasn't for Xie Yu's extra love to join in the fun, he sometimes didn't even bother to close his eyes, so he didn't try to persuade Ou Chen, just said, "Then we Just blow out the candles."

"Isn't it appropriate to just blow it up?" Ou Chen looked at him and smiled, "Does someone have to say or do something?"

Xie Lang was a little stunned, stared at Ouchen for a while before he managed to react, and then smiled, "...I really convinced you."

After speaking, he sighed, tilted his head slightly and leaned over to kiss Ochen on the lips, "Happy birthday, boyfriend."

"Thank you boyfriend," Ou Chen politely kissed Xie Lang back, "I am very happy."

"Blow out the candles?"

"it is good."

Ou Chen obediently blew out the candles. After blowing out, he was about to take the cake and cut it for Xie Lang. Xie Lang held his hand and said, "There's no hurry to cut the cake. Let's see your birthday present first."

"I still have a birthday present!?" Ou Chen was a little flattered, he only thought that Xie Lang's company with him tonight made his birthday very different, but he didn't expect to have a birthday present now!

It was a pleasant surprise.

"You idiot, who doesn't have a birthday gift for their birthday...Come on, look over there." Xie Lang turned his body slightly, and at the same time turned Ou Chen's body so that he looked directly opposite party white wall.

"Where are you looking?" Ou Chen saw nothing but a white wall.

"It's right in front of your eyes, don't worry." Xie Lang comforted Ou Chen with one hand, and played the video on the phone with the other.

After a while, a piece of projector light was cast on the white wall, and when it was suddenly lit up, the entire dim tavern became much brighter.

"What, watching a movie?" Ou Chen laughed, "Then you have to turn off the lights in the room."

"No," Xie Lang said, "I can see clearly."

"If you can see clearly, you can see clearly, but the room is too bright and it's not convenient..." Before Ou Chen finished speaking, the white light cast by the projector in front of him has switched to a small watermelon rolling. animated.

The reason why Ou Chen was amazed and speechless was because the villain who rolled the watermelon was very similar to Xie Yuyu, and every time he rolled the watermelon, a cute cartoon character popped up behind his little buttocks.

Birthday gift for my boy

"...Um...then what...would it be a little...greasy?" Ou Chen's reaction Xie Lang didn't know, but Xie Lang himself was so embarrassed that he quickly picked it up A pool villa is out.

"Don't talk." Ou Chen doesn't want to talk now, and he doesn't want to hear anyone talking, he just wants to listen to the background music quietly and look at the presents.

The light music flowing from the stereo hanging on the wall is quite gentle, and it sounds like summer.

Looking at the transition screen on the white wall, it has changed from rolling watermelon to a small animation of two stick figures splitting into two worlds.

The two villains are not recognizable, as if pasted and copied, the only mark that can distinguish the two is that the villain on the left has "Europe" written on the chest of the T-shirt, and the villain on the right has written "Thank you" '.

It was Ou Chen and Xie Lang.

The two started from very small radish, turned left and right at different branch roads, and grew up a little after each intersection.

The two turned slowly and unhurriedly, and at the same time grew up slowly and unhurriedly.

It seems to imply that although two people are separated in two worlds, they can still grow up at the same time.

It wasn't until the two of them gradually revealed their youthful figure that the dividing line that divided them into two worlds gradually disappeared.

Despite this, the two villains still failed to come together, but continued to turn left and right at different forking intersections.

When the sound of cicadas began to sing in the background music, two teenagers from different paths met at a corner where the summer atmosphere was thick.

After this point, the entire black and white stick figure began to take on color, and the two teenagers who met on the street corner... are no longer just stick figures replaced by surnames.

They have a more specific image, the arrogant and casual red boy is Ou Chen, and the dull and cold black is Xie Lang.

Something with a sense of light was sprinkled down, inadvertently spread on the bodies of the two teenagers.

The two walked toward each other against the light.

Then kiss in the summer.

The video ended here. At the end, the cutie who looked like Xie Yu came out to roll the watermelon again, but this time the little butt was followed by a string of numbers instead of words.

-.

The front is the time when two people are together, and the back is Ouchen's birthday.

Ou Chen didn't speak for a long time after watching the video. He had never received such a gift, and he couldn't sort out his current mood. He only knew that the heart in his chest was beating very violently, as if he could jump out at any time. It's like flying around in the sky.

The buzzing of the cicadas in summer was still echoing in his ears, as if he and Xie Lang really met in a certain summer when the cicadas were buzzing.

And that summer...

It never ends.

"Xie Lang," Ou Chen, who had not fully recovered from the surprise after arriving at the hotel, held Xie Lang's hand and asked again, "You really haven't given that kind of gift to others, have you?"

"No, young master, how many times do you have to ask?" Xie Lang put the room card into the sensor, and the room instantly lit up. You like it."

"I haven't sent it before, what about after that?" Ou Chen ignored his playful smile and still looked at him seriously.

"Who knows in the future," Xie Lang pretended not to see the answer in Ou Chen's eyes, and said with a smile, "What if we...fuck!"

Before Xie Lang could finish his sentence, he was thrown onto the bed by Ou Chen. He wanted to support himself up, but Ou Chen's whole body was pressed up again.

"What if we two?" Ou Chen asked him in a low voice.

"What's wrong with you?" Xie Lang looked at him, "You always come to force this, pervert?"

"You are my boyfriend, playing coercion with you is not called a pervert," Ou Chen said while unzipping Xie Lang's coat, "It's called fun...."

"Well, fun." Xie Lang didn't resist, and said obediently, "Take it off, continue to take it off, if you don't take it off today, it won't be finished."

"Fuck!" Ou Chen lost interest in an instant, pinched Xie Lang's waist through his coat, "Don't come with me and make such a move, hurry up and tell me! What happens to the two of us?"

"Not taking it off?" Xie Lang raised his eyebrows.

"I don't have time, I'm going to settle the score with you!" Ou Chen said, "If you don't make it clear what happens to us today, don't think about it!"

"How do you live when you're having a hard time?" Xie Lang smiled.

Ou Chen was too lazy to talk to him, so he just stared at him without saying a word, and he really didn't want to stop until he said something.

Xie Lang laughed to himself for a while, feeling bored, and slowly put away his smile, looked into Ouchen's eyes and said, "Ouchen, have you ever thought that we are still young and still have a lot of desperate courage, But one day we will grow up, we will open our eyes and ears, we will see many, many people, we will hear many, many discussions, and various problems will arise, so... I can't promise you forever, but what I gave you, no one else will have."

"Xie Lang," Ou Chen said after a long time, "Did I tell you that I really don't like your sobriety of being too rational and taking one step at a time."

"I seem to have said so." Ou Chen thought that he had taken care of Xie too early, and that's probably what he meant.

"Then have you noticed," Ou Chen asked, "you have changed a lot?"

Xie Lang blinked but did not speak.

"In the past, if I touched you, or looked at your eyes too directly, you would feel disgusted," Ou Chen raised his hand and touched his face, "but now, you can hold my hand in front of others …”

As he said that, he lowered his head and leaned over to enclose Xie Lang's lips and kissed, then looked up into Xie Lang's eyes, "You can kiss me too."

"So you see," he smiled, "not only will we grow up, but we will also get used to each other as we grow up, don't you think?"

"That's because we are still in the stage of passionate love." Xie Lang clearly stated the reason for his change.

"Then we will be in love forever." Ou Chen said with certainty, and then lowered his head again to kiss Xie Lang's lips.

After holding this time, he no longer tasted lightly like before, nor was he as unscrupulous as before, but lightly rubbed, licked, and carefully rolled the tip of his tongue to test Xie Lang's jaws.

Before getting Xie Lang's permission, Ou Chen didn't allow himself to break in without permission, and just kept spinning around in place.
