Temperament

Zhuo Tianyi was shocked to see Shen Qinglan like this, and his heart was also moved.He has never said so many words to him, let alone the topic of emotion, and it is a story between men that has existed since ancient times.

All of a sudden, there were too many feelings in my heart, excitement, excitement, ecstasy, relief, bewilderment, doubts, stuffed in my chest in a mess, speechless.

Zhuo Tianyi swallowed hard, suppressed the eager emotions in his chest, and said carefully as if afraid of disturbing something: "Then the song you played just now is called "Yue Ren Song"?"

"Yes," Shen Qinglan didn't raise her head, she still turned her head sideways and looked at the water, like a banished fairy looking at herself in a mirror, "this song was the one I played the most and was most familiar with when I was in Suzhou. I played it for many years. , many times."

Zhuo Tianyi's heart suddenly seemed to be drenched by ice water from the head, how could he not have thought that Shen Qinglan's appearance just now was clearly the mood of missing his lover, and "The Song of Yueren" is basically a love song between men, When he played at this time, he was naturally expressing his love and longing for Meng Huaiyuan.

but……

Anyone can hear this kind of piano music, the obvious affection in the sound of the piano, Meng Huaiyuan, can he not hear it?

Unless he is deaf!

For a moment, sparks flickered again in the cold heart, and it started to burn again.He leaned forward, supported the side of the boat beside Shen Qinglan, suppressed the tension in his heart, and asked softly: "Has anyone heard you play this piece before?"

Shen Qinglan's eyes shook violently, and the movement of flicking water with her hands stopped.

Zhuo Tianyi was ecstatic in his heart, sure enough, it was exactly as he guessed!But he didn't reveal anything, he looked at the person in front of him without blinking, waiting for him to speak.

After a long time, Shen Qinglan looked at the surface of the water a little, and asked back: "Do you think that Yueren boatman and Zhuang Xin did the right thing? Do you have to say your love?"

"Of course!" Zhuo Tianyi blurted out, putting one hand on Shen Qinglan's lap, his voice was excited, "Of course you have to say your love, not only you have to say it, but also..."

"I want to go into the water." Shen Qinglan said suddenly, she also turned around, looked straight at Zhuo Tianyi, and then stood up.

Zhuo Tianyi's conversation was interrupted by him, and he couldn't react for a while. Seeing him quickly undoing his clothes, he came to his senses, "Okay." Standing up, he paused, and asked again: "Can you get water?" ?”

"Yes!" Shen Qinglan took off her clothes, and sat on the side of the boat taking off her shoes and socks.

"Really?" Zhuo Tianyi took his coat.

Shen Qinglan glanced at him, "If you're worried, take a rope and tie one end to me and the other end to the boat." He said as he unbuttoned his belt and took off his trousers.

Zhuo Tianyi frowned, looked at his face, and just wanted to tell whether he was telling a joke or the truth, Shen Qinglan had already sat on the side of the boat, turned around, and jumped down.

The cool water spread all over his body, and he shivered involuntarily.It was close to the shore, and the water was relatively shallow, only reaching his chest.Shen Qinglan took a few deep breaths by the side of the boat, feeling used to it, and slowly swam towards the deep water.

Before he had swum far, he heard a splash behind him, and a few drops of water splashed on his face. Looking back, Zhuo Tianyi also got into the water and was swimming behind him.

"Why did you come down?"

"I don't trust you. He said he could ride a horse, but he could throw away the reins. He said he could swim, but he didn't know how good he was. It's better to follow you." Zhuo Tianyi swiped a few times and came to him.

"I told you, if you're worried, tie me up with a rope." Shen Qinglan said seriously.

"Is it still called swimming with a rope tied?" Zhuo Tianyi realized that what he said was not a joke, and said with a smile: "You have to swim freely like this, and you can swim wherever you want!" Pushing Shen Qinglan behind One, "Let's go!"

Shen Qinglan relaxed her body and kicked the water a few times, then swam towards the middle of the river with hands and feet.It's strange to say that I haven't swam in the river in the past few years, but once I get into the water, I will naturally recall the essentials of swimming in the past, as if this ability is innate.

Zhuo Tianyi has been swimming behind him on the right, occasionally holding his waist with his hands.At that time, Shen Qinglan quickly stroked the water a few times, avoiding his hand.

It's not because she's shy and doesn't want him to touch her, the two of them have done so many intimate things, but because she doesn't want him to touch her while swimming.

That would make him feel that even the most private place that should be the most free - the dreamland, has been invaded.

Fighting this breath, he swam for nearly half an hour before slowing down, turned over and leaned on the water, and saw the blue sky behind the green trees above his head, which was as clear and clear as the clear sky on the grassy slope in his memory. .

As soon as he raised his head, he could see that the previous boat had been left far behind.At this time, Shen Qinglan realized that she had swam so far with her own strength without being pulled by a rope.

I was stunned for a moment, there was no boat in front of my eyes, and there was no person standing on the boat reaching out to me in my memory.When the head emerges from the water, there is still water all around, nothing.

Feeling empty in my heart, the previous free state of mind seemed to have faded away, leaving only silence and coldness.This kind of feeling is very uncomfortable, as if after trying hard, you only get an empty space.

He turned over and buried his face in the water, and swam to the distance again, as if it was many years ago.When the breath was exhausted, he emerged from the water, wiped off the water on his face, and stared blankly forward for a while.Then bury your head down, continue to water, continue to show your head, and continue to stare.

And so on and on and on.

The water in the middle of the river is still very clear. In the submerged water, you can vaguely see the panicked fish swimming among the aquatic plants at the bottom of the river, and occasionally touch the stones on your toes. There is no memory of the turbid waves when the flash flood broke out. Mark of.

In this place, I no longer have the fear I experienced after being washed into the river by flash floods 11 years ago, let alone the carefree experience when I went boating in Taihu Lake and learned to swim.At that time, even if he was exhausted in the water, he didn't have to worry about it, because he had the cloth rope on his chest and the eyes on him on the boat all the time, so he would not be afraid of anything.

Now, without the cloth rope on his chest, without the gaze of those eyes, he who has not been in the water for many years has suddenly learned to swim. I don't know whether to be lucky or sad.

But at this time, whether it is fear or carefree, there will be no more.

There will be nothing, only an empty heart, and the sudden suffocation and pain in the chest cavity when the breath is exhausted, and the ubiquitous tiredness.

His hands and feet were cold, his legs were as heavy as if they were tied with stones, and his arms were so weak that he could no longer paddle.Tired, don't want to swim anymore, don't want to struggle anymore, exhausted, make people want to sleep.

Shen Qinglan opened her eyes, looked at the soft aquatic plants at the bottom of the river that were entangled around her ankles like hair, a word crossed her mind in a quiet and drowsy mind, they are as affectionate as people.

He smiled with difficulty, and felt a sharper pain in his chest due to the exhaustion of the last breath. Water entered his mouth and nose, and he scrambled to get into the airway. When he opened his mouth to spit it out, he entered more Too much water, chest pain like tearing.

He couldn't bear it any longer, closed his eyes, and struggled involuntarily with his hands and feet. As soon as he moved, a pair of hands were wrapped around his waist, and his body surfaced under the support of those hands.

With fresh air in her mouth and nose, Shen Qinglan coughed loudly and spit out the water in her mouth.A hand wiped his face, and his vision became clear again. The person in front of him still had a face full of water, and his hair stuck to his shoulders, like water plants.

Shen Qinglan breathed in the fresh air greedily with his mouth open, Zhuo Tianyi looked at him with a fixed face, with a hint of half-truth and half-fake accusation in his dark eyes, "I wanted to praise your water quality, but I didn't want you to do it right away." With this look, do you think I should praise you for your good water skills, or for your excellent breath-holding skills?"

Shen Qinglan was out of breath, and couldn't care less about fighting back, so she could only look away.Zhuo Tianyi looked at him for a moment, his expression softened, and he sighed: "You, I don't even know what to say about you. Fortunately, I went into the water with you. If I didn't go into the water with you, I haven't come up for so long. Am I dying? It’s really going to be an accident, and it’s too late to save you!”

As he said, he rubbed his arms and body underwater, "Go back, I'll take you."

Without any explanation, she swam to Shen Qinglan's side, put an arm across his chest, and swam back with his body in his arms.Shen Qinglan's physical strength had already been exhausted, so she could only follow him panting.

On the way back to the tour, I accidentally opened my eyes and saw the continuous peaks of the Stone Camel Mountain on the side, ups and downs passing through my heart.

When they got to the side of the boat, Zhuo Tianyi lifted Shen Qinglan onto the side of the boat, and then boarded the boat himself.The two took off their wet trousers, dried their bodies hastily with the underwear they had taken off before, and wore only the outer long gown without a belt, just wearing it loosely, and sat side by side on the boat deck to bask in the sun while resting.

This place is in the recess of the river bank, and there are few people around. The two are disheveled, but they are not afraid of being seen.

"Is it cold?" Zhuo Tianyi pulled Shen Qinglan into his arms, and squeezed out the water from his hair, ignoring that his own hair was still dripping wet and draped over his shoulders.

"It's okay." Shen Qinglan has recovered some strength.

Zhuo Tianyi brought over the Yan'ermei wine bottle he had drunk before, filled two cups, and handed Shen Qinglan a cup, "Drink it, it will relieve the cold, so as not to catch another cold."

Shen Qinglan brought the cup to her mouth, without much hesitation, she drank it in two sips.Zhuo Tianyi also drank a glass, and then lifted the wine bottle to fill up the glasses of the two of them, "Drink more."

Shen Qinglan looked at the white porcelain cup that was stained with hops, brought it to her mouth and drank it again.After a few glasses of wine, the body slowly regained its senses as if waking up.He closed his eyes, relaxed his body and leaned against Zhuo Tianyi's arms, exhaled, really tired.

The author has something to say: Shen Mi and Mr. Zhuo swim together, and swim together in different dreams.
