thousand cups

After eating the super delicious Xiaolongbao, they walked home slowly.That road is an old street with sycamore trees on the side of the road. Jiang Mo eats the butterfly cakes bought on the road while walking, and vaguely tells him the history of this street.

Shen Chaowen didn't like history classes when he was a child, and he wasn't interested in the history of the French Concession at all. He was worried that the pot of epiphyllum would bloom quietly while they were away.But looking at Jiang Mo's old man who just wants to eat and walk home slowly... Shen Chaowen didn't bother to rush.

When they got home, they observed the state of the pot of epiphyllum, and found that the flower bud was slowly unfolding, but the flower bloomed very slowly, and it was estimated that it would take after midnight when the petals fully unfolded.

Its flowering period is very short, only one or two hours, and it will wither after the night passes.

Jiang Mo concluded that this potted flower would definitely bloom at night, so he happily found a small round table made of bamboo from the utility room, went to the refrigerator to get two boxes of food, put the butterfly cakes he bought on it, and planned to open another bottle of good wine , Said to share with Shen Chaowen.Shen Chaowen was not interested in Jiang Mo's good wine, so he planned to drink tea to prevent himself from falling asleep at night.

In the past, Shen Chaowen's biological clock has always been very regular. When he was in high school, he got up at 06:30 in the morning and went to bed at 10:30 in the evening. He delayed for half an hour in the third year of high school, played basketball for half an hour in the afternoon, and jogged home in the evening. He cut, allocated, and controlled his own time. Regular and stable.Regularity is a good thing, it will give him a sense of security in life and a sense of control over his own life. Shen Chaowen likes to establish this kind of order for himself.

But in life, there will always be some occasional events that break the rules, such as the two nights when I slept with Jiang Mo, his biological clock failed.Tonight too, he needs to break his own life rules, watch the night with Jiang Mo, talk with him, and wait for the flowers to bloom with him.

Jiang Mo finally found a bottle of Yuan Qinghua from the wine cabinet and said it was a good wine.Shen Chaowen looked at the bottle of wine, only to think that the bottle was pretty, like an ancient vase.

Holding a small wine glass, Jiang Mo started talking again, saying that many people like to drink foreign wine like others, but our own wine is actually very good, but unfortunately most people don’t know how to drink it, and don’t know how to appreciate it. They always feel that baijiu is strong, spicy, Too direct, why can't they drink the softness, softness, and layers of fragrance of baijiu?He said that many people drink alcohol just to socialize, to relieve their worries, and for entertainment. They don't enjoy the wine itself, and they don't know how to communicate with it.

Shen Chaowen was speechless, and asked him: "Do you still need to communicate with the wine before drinking?" Jiang Mo said: "Of course." Shen Chaowen asked: "Tell me specifically, how did you communicate?" I was blaming him for being incomprehensible, and asked: "Do you have to talk to communicate? I must say a few words to the wine to be called communication?"

Shen Chaowen raised his eyebrows, motioning for him to continue.

"There are many ways to communicate, and speaking is just one of them." Jiang Mo said, "Some communication cannot be expressed in words, such as...eyes, body, and heart."

After saying this, as if wanting to demonstrate, Jiang Mo started to look at him.

A few seconds later, Shen Chaowen found that his heart started beating violently for no reason.

They look at each other and communicate with their eyes.But Shen Chaowen couldn't tell exactly what was being communicated and what he was thinking. At that moment, he just felt that this kind of communication was too scary, not worth advocating, and not recommended for promotion.

And Jiang Mo was studying Shen Chaowen's face seriously.

Rooted in the instinct in his bones, Jiang Mo likes the concept of "beauty".There are many kinds of beauty, bright, restrained, incomplete, bloody, sacred... Shen Chaowen is the standard one.His facial features are well proportioned, his left and right faces are very symmetrical, and it is rare for a human face to be completely symmetrical. His face is so rare that he can be used to draw in art classes.It's a pity that this person's expression seems to be frozen, lacking facial vitality, expressionless, and not vivid.

Sometimes seeing his expressionless face, Jiang Mo has the urge to give him a lesson on expression management... It's a bit wasteful to have this face on him.

"You are like ice." Jiang Mo said suddenly, "You are also like iron."

Yeah.Shen Chaowen followed his train of thought, thinking inexplicably, iron, ice.But I'm a little hot now, am I melting fast?

In the end, he turned his eyes away first, and unnaturally took a toothpick to poke a candied tomato and ate it.Too sweet, he doesn't like to eat too sweet things.

Shen Chaowen was inexplicably agitated, picking the thorn in the box of small tomatoes in front of him for nothing, "Where did you buy it? It's so sweet, it's not tasty, remember not to buy this one next time."

The corner of Jiang Mo's mouth twitched, and he said angrily, "I did this! Please re-evaluate!"

It was originally made for my mother, but because she was going to play mahjong all night and would not come back tonight, she took it out for fear of spoiling it.

Shen Chaowen hypocritically changed his tone, and flattered him: "This tomato is so delicious, it's so sweet."

Jiang Mo glared at him: "Of course what I cook is delicious!"

"Delicious, delicious, super delicious."

"Delicious? Then after you finish eating, there is no one left."

"..."

After the routine bickering, Jiang Mo went upstairs and took down the computer, saying that he had nothing to do and wanted to watch a movie.Shen Chaowen was still trying hard to eat the box of sweet tomatoes, eating with a heavy face, it was quite painful.Jiang Mo turned a blind eye to his pain, clicked the mouse, and began to choose the movie to watch.

Shen Chaowen had nothing to say: "What do you mean by pulling the film?"

Jiang Mo simply explained: "Watch the movie frame by frame, see how other people shoot, watch other people's camera movements, scheduling, camera positions, and pictures."

Shen Chaowen snorted, feeling that he couldn't help, so he continued to lower his head and try hard to eat candied tomatoes.

Picking and picking, Jiang Mo, who had watched too many movies, suddenly became entangled, not knowing what kind of movie would be suitable for a night waiting for flowers to bloom.

After thinking for a moment, he decided to hand over the choice to Shen Chaowen.

"You choose." He pulled people over, "Choose one you haven't seen, let's watch it together."

Shen Chaowen went over to have a look, and found that he had hardly watched those films.He was dizzy from the sweetness of the little tomato, and he pointed at random: "This one."

Jiang Mo leaned over to take a look, it was a boring romance movie.This kind of movie... seems not suitable for watching with my brother.

He shook his head: "Choose another one, look at Fellini's collection, choose a title you like, and hurry up."

Because of the box of tomatoes in his hand, Shen Chaowen inexplicably wanted to argue with him, and replied: "I don't, I just want to see this."

"It's a romance movie."

"I can't watch romance movies?"

Jiang Mo: "...Let's watch a romance movie, are you sure?"

Shen Chaowen vainly said: "Sure, I like watching romantic movies very much." Fake, he only likes to watch nature documentaries and science fiction blockbusters.

The taste is refreshing.Jiang Mo clicked on the movie: "Okay, I'll watch it with you."

For Shen Chaowen, watching love movies is not the most painful, the most painful is watching with Jiang Mo.Because Jiang Mo wanted to pull the film, they had to stop watching it every few seconds, waiting for Jiang Mo to record it in his notebook.Watching a movie like this is simply a painful torture, more painful than eating a very sweet tomato.

This can be tolerated, but Shen Chaowen really can't bear the plot of the movie, he has something to say, and he can't vomit it.

"It's so weird." He commented, "It's really just a movie. How can it be possible that you'll fall in love with it in less than a day?"

Jiang Mo took a sip of his wine and answered him: "You can't judge love by the length of time. A lifetime of love is love, but a day's love is not? There are many people who are together for a lifetime, and it may not be worth their day."

A lifetime, but a day?

Shen Chaowen still doubts the authenticity of this feeling in his heart.With his limited understanding of feelings, it is very strange to fall in love with someone in a short period of time. Is 24 hours enough for them to understand each other's strengths and weaknesses?Enough for them to know each other's past experiences?Enough to confirm whether each other is sincere, to confirm the authenticity of this relationship?He didn't believe that all this could be done in 24 hours, it was impossible, the time was too short, and it seemed a bit rushed.

"I don't believe it." Shen Chaowen replied, "It's unrealistic."

Jiang Mo said: "The feelings in movies and novels have to be unrealistic to be good, you know what a fart."

Shen Chaowen was still thinking, but didn't speak.Jiang Mo smiled, didn't say anything more, and continued playing the movie.He looked at and drank the bottle of Yuanqinghua, looking quite comfortable.Shen Chaowen hasn't finished eating a box of small tomatoes for two hours, and is still working hard.

By the time Jiang Mo finished drinking that bottle of wine, he was already a little tipsy.There's no way, he won't listen to what he said, he drank a whole bottle of high-grade liquor, and he was still conscious.But he was a little sleepy, and soon fell on Shen Chaowen's lap.It is common sense that the legs are more comfortable than the table, and Jiang Mo chose a place that was more comfortable for him without even thinking about it.

Shen Chaowen asked him to hug his waist uncomfortably. He always felt that this posture was weird, but he couldn't tell what was wrong.Fearing that Jiang Mo would slip and fall to the ground, Shen Chaowen didn't have the same knowledge as a drunk person, so he gently put his hand around his head, and continued to play the black and white movie, planning to wait until the flowers bloomed before calling him.

Jiang Mo lay on his lap and watched the movie for a while, and suddenly began to spoil the spoiler: "In the end, the hero came back to find her. They met in front of a flower shop, and then..."

It's so wicked.Shen Chaowen patted him on the head angrily: "Sleep when you're drunk! Don't talk!"

"The back is really not good. It lowers the level of the whole film. You might as well watch me."

"..." Shen Chaowen sneered, "Are you pretty?"

Jiang Mo smiled: "I'm not good-looking, but you are good-looking. Then let me see you?"

After speaking, he really turned his head slightly, leaned on his lap, and looked up at Shen Chaowen's face in an awkward posture.

Shen Chaowen couldn't bear the drunken eyes staring at him, so he turned his head unnaturally to look at the pot of flowers that were about to bloom.

The soundtrack of the movie sounded, a slow English song, and a female voice sang very gently.Jiang Mo squinted his eyes and listened for a while, he was sleepy, and said to Shen Chaowen vaguely: "I can't do it, I'll sleep for a few minutes, call me when the flowers bloom."

Shen Chaowen nodded: "Okay."

He held Jiang Mo's head and continued watching the movie idly.

Jiang Mo slept soundly on his lap.Shen Chaowen watched the movie for a while, and was suddenly shocked by the current scene of the movie...

Actor and heroine cuddling on balcony, female character with loose hair cuddling on male protagonist's lap

...The same as their poses, the coincidence is almost [-]%.

Shen Chaowen was petrified.

Who would have thought that the plot behind it would be more exciting.

The male protagonist touched along the neckline of the female protagonist's back, and began to caress ambiguously.Touching was not enough, he leaned down again, kissed her ears, side face, neck... Then they took off their clothes on the balcony and began to perform meticulous and indescribable behaviors.

Shen Chaowen looked at this indescribable paragraph with a blushing face, then looked down at the back of Jiang Mo's head, stayed for a few seconds, lost in thought.

After pondering, Shen Chaowen blushed again.

In the end, he turned off the computer a little irritably, held Jiang Mo's head and started to look at the pot of epiphyllum, sulking himself.

The most annoying thing is Jiang Mo's smell.Before drinking, he went to the kitchen and baked cookies for his mother to eat tomorrow, so at this moment, not only did he smell faintly of alcohol, but also mixed with the smell of biscuits. He smelled like a freshly baked, delicious little biscuit.

Even if you don't like to eat some things, you will always feel... delicious when you smell them.

This taste is even more irritating than candied cherry tomatoes.The more Shen Chaowen heard it, the more irritable he became, but he couldn't push the drunk man away, so he was in a dilemma.

With such complicated feelings, he waited for the real flash in the pan.

When the originally curled up petals slowly began to stretch, Shen Chaowen pushed Jiang Mo's head and asked him to stand up and watch together.

Jiang Mo was called up by him in a daze, and rubbed his eyes to look at the potted flower.He was not fully awake yet, so he looked at it with the remaining drunkenness, and found that the flowers in front of him were half open and blooming quietly.

I have seen flowers before, but this is the first time Shen Chaowen has seen how flowers bloom up close.Jiang Mo was fascinated by it, propped his head, and began to observe this rare "flash in the pan" seriously.

When a flower blooms, it turns out to be like this.

The camera turns on, silently recording this moment.They don't talk, just watch, don't do anything, just wait.Jiang Mo looked at the flowers, and Shen Chaowen looked at him.Jiang Mo probably didn't know that Shen Chaowen was looking at him, but he was just immersed in the flash in the pan, thinking about something.And Shen Chaowen couldn't help but want to look at Jiang Mo, he couldn't explain why he did this, he just felt that compared to this person's eyes looking at Hua, everything around him had been eclipsed.

Looking at it, he seemed to have forgotten everything, and seemed to remember many things.There was a subtle change in the body, which suddenly became profound and concrete.Many accidents eventually point to an inevitability and an answer.Is 24 hours a day enough to fall in love with someone?There are too many, it doesn't take that long at all, one second, one moment is enough.Shen Chaowen admitted at that moment that he was ignorant. The feeling of love is the same as the blooming of flowers. It is a natural phenomenon, it is justified, and there is no way to be blocked by anything.

The flowers are fully bloomed.

Jiang Mo stared at Epiphyllum, suddenly approached, gently pulled off a petal, put it in his mouth curiously, and tasted it.

Shen Chaowen found it funny, but also thought he was cute: "What are you doing? Flowers hurt."

"There are flowers that are worth breaking. After waiting for so long, I must take a bite." Jiang Mo solemnly explained his behavior after drinking, then grabbed another petal, handed it to Shen Chaowen's mouth, and said excitedly, "It tastes good, You try it too."

I dare not take it with my mouth.Shen Chaowen took the white petal with his hand and carefully put it in his mouth.Panicked in his heart, he chewed up the petal and ate the precious bloom of that night.
