kiss Me

It was almost four o'clock after getting off the bus, and the gate of the art museum was indeed closed. Lin Wu caught a glimpse of it from a distance, but was not lost. He turned around and wrapped Qin Shu's hand, and asked him if he wanted to find a place to rest first.

The ride was wobbly, and it was the evening rush hour again. The two people gave up their seats one after the other and came standing up.

Even so, the bookish spirit on Qin Shu's body was not shaken by the bumpy bus, as if there was never a time when he was in a panic, he could calm down to make tea and read poems with a flick of his sleeves-he was not tired, and he didn't go either. To investigate the intention of the little liar to coax him to come even though he knew he was late, he just nodded along Lin Wu's will and asked him where he wanted to go.

"Hmm... there's an ancient street along the river nearby, let's clear it up in a row, it's very interesting after dark," the little liar rolled his eyes and smiled innocently, "There's a restaurant on the street, which happens to be my roommate's house It’s open, Jiangnan Cuisine, let’s drop by and hold a show.”

I don't know where he got so many "just right".

"Let's go," Qin Shu looked at the end of his hair, feeling that the braid was going to stick up, couldn't hold it back for a moment, and touched it with his hands, "but you can't drink."

I still remember how he pretended to be drunk and cheated on kissing... Lin Wu smelled the faint smell of laundry detergent on his wrist, squinted his eyes in satisfaction, leaned up to rub it intentionally or unintentionally, and agreed immediately: "Okay, I won't drink it."

The sky is still bright, but the lights have already been turned on. The old carved lamps are mixed with small neon lights that were popular two years ago. They are red and yellow, and occasionally some other colors pop up. Lines on the shore and lines in the water, people can imagine The scene after dark is probably more lively.

The eaves of the water village are low, and the houses are stacked and scattered. If there are no trees on the side, it is even difficult to judge whether the gap between the two houses can be passed. The two people walked around Xiaoer for 10 minutes before following the forest. Wu's roommate pointed the way to find his restaurant, which is also an antique small second floor. There is a sign of home-cooked food at the door. When the plastic curtain is opened, the hot and sour aroma of vinegar fish is pungent.

The proprietress heard that he was a classmate of her son, so she specially sent two bottles of orange juice and a plate of freshly fried swimming crabs.

It was not time for dinner, and there were not many people in the store. They chose a quiet corner along the river on the second floor, tasted salted peanuts and chatted without saying a word—after a few minutes, Lin Wu went down again, and opened a video call to let The boss and his wife talked with his roommate, and listened to the short instructions from the parents. They were not envious, but they just found it lively and interesting, learned a few words of local dialect, and went upstairs to tell his brother in style.

As the sky darkened little by little, the light outside the window became more and more clear. There was a small cluster of lights hanging by their window, like a pomegranate, the light red light fell on the side of the young man's cheek.

Qin Shu looked at it, thinking that a few years had passed, and he had really grown up.

The brief meeting two years ago was ignored. His real and clear impression of this younger brother was actually before he graduated from the third year of high school. At that time, Lin Wu was only in the first year of high school. At the position of his shoulder, he was so white that even the girls around him They are all ashamed of themselves, their hair is not the light blond it is now, it is dyed every three days and permed every five days, and it's a mess because of its youth.

Lin Wu is of mixed race, and influenced by the gifted and maverick parents, many concepts are different from ordinary people, even the dressing style is extravagant, he likes complicated shirts and vests, and the accessories on his body jingle. As for his worry that the little guy would be excluded if he transferred to a new environment - he didn't expect Lin Wu to be more sensible than he imagined. It's a good word, saying that Lin Wu can take care of others, is very interesting, has good grades, etc.

He can feel these advantages now, the difference is that three years have passed, the young man in front of him has grown much taller, and his temperament has become more mature. Occasionally, his gaze will make him suddenly realize that the stars are changing, and the other party is no longer that person. All he knew was that he was clinging to his spoiled child.

"Brother, what are you thinking about?" Lin Wu put a spoonful of dried shrimps into his bowl, propped his chin and asked, "Are you looking at me?"

Qin Shu nodded, and said calmly: "Well, I see that you have changed a lot, it will take a few minutes to get used to it."

The little fox narrowed his eyes with great interest: "What has changed, let me tell you."

"I've grown taller, and I've become more mature," said the full-fledged elder brother, "I'm not so noisy."

The implication is that he is no longer so paranoid, and he is talking about weird words like "you are so beautiful, I want to collect you".

Lin Wu didn't feel disappointed when he didn't get a satisfactory answer, the smiles in his eyes faded, the same color as the setting sun -- he poured a bowl of chicken soup for each of them, and said while filling it, "Because in the past few years, I have been thinking, brother...you are such a perfect person, what kind of partner would you like. "

It was a continuation of what was said in the stairwell last night.

The chicken soup is clear yellow, without even a speck of oil foam, and half of the face of the young man is clearly reflected.Qin Shu turned his head, looked at the tourists passing by outside the window, and said in his usual tone, "What did you come up with?"

"I think you don't like things that are too rowdy," Lin Wu imitated his habit of articulating words, "You can't be too clingy, you can't be too stupid, it's better to have independent thinking and social relations, and like-minded people...Brother, you are asking too much, can you help me? Should I lower it a bit?"

The more Qin Shu heard it, the more familiar it became, remembering that it was a time last semester when Meng Qi asked him with a scale, and the answer he chose at random, he couldn't help laughing: "I told you not to listen to Meng Qi, you might as well ask me directly. "

Originally, it was just a casual mention, but I didn't expect someone to take it seriously: "Then what do you like?"

The same conversation has been repeated countless times between them, but the answer three years ago is outdated and should be replaced with a new one.Qin Shu took a sip of the chicken soup, pondered for a moment, and said, "I like to close my eyes."

This word is still heard from Meng Qi's sister, "asking is not eye-catching, and it can cut off all rotten peach blossoms."

Lin Wu was slightly surprised, and was stunned for two seconds before bursting into laughter: "Brother, you are not at all suitable for such inscrutable answers."

Qin Shu was not annoyed either. He put his hand on his forehead and looked at him quietly smiling. After a while, he also felt that it was not suitable, so he couldn't help but laughed along with him. The connivance was mixed with a little helplessness, which reminded me of the early spring. In the melting pool spring, a row of water falls, startling the peach blossoms on the surface of the pool in two or three.

"Brother," Lin Wu just looked at him like this, as if fascinated, and said after a while, "You look beautiful when you smile."

After finishing speaking, he put down his chopsticks and drank the orange juice at the bottom of the glass in one gulp: "I'm full, let's go for a walk."

Qin Shu glanced at his dishes: "I only ate this little..."

"Save half of your appetite for snacks."

……

At the end of summer and the beginning of autumn, the rain always came and went, and the weather forecast was not accurate—the two walked for half a street, only to hear the muffled thunder in one second, and their shoulders were wet in the next second, so they had to turn temporarily. Into the store at hand, to shelter from the rain, but also to find a place to go later.

"There is a hotel nearby that can swipe an electronic ID card, but it's a bit expensive in a scenic spot," Lin Wu asked while looking at his phone, "Shall we go?"

Qin Shu didn't know much about hotels, and thought he had to find a place to spend the night, so he nodded and raised his hand to wipe off the water from his hair: "Can I get there on foot?"

"Walk for a while and then take a taxi." For some reason, Lin Wu paused when he scratched the screen with his hand, and said meaningfully, "Brother, do I count as soft food?"

What they stumbled into was a flower umbrella shop by mistake. The little girl who looked after the shop was in her early twenties. Hearing this, she subconsciously looked at them, her big eyes flickering, as if she was looking forward to the answer of the question more than the questioner herself.

However, the scene was not as sweet as she had imagined——the young man wearing glasses looked calm, still lowered his head to choose an umbrella, and replied calmly: "No, it's right to spend money on my brother."

"But we're not blood brothers," the blond boy approached him, unable to see his expression clearly, but his voice was so soft that it was almost coquettish, "I'm your legitimate boyfriend now, and it doesn't count if I eat what you have and use what you have. Do you want to eat soft rice?"

The young man raised his hand and rubbed his hair, as if he was dismissing some clingy pet, the next words were too soft for the girl to hear clearly, so she could only look at the pair of guests thoughtfully—until the young man held on to an umbrella When she came to the counter, she remembered her own job: "Sir, do you only need one?"

"Well, it's emergency use for shelter from the rain, no need to wrap it up, thank you."

"Okay, the quality of our umbrellas is very good. We use the technology of making oil-paper umbrellas in ancient times, so they won't break even if you hold them up now." The girl pushed the payment code in front of him and said with a smile, "I'll call you A discount, 99 a piece, thank you for your patronage!"

The person who eats soft food stood silently, watching him scan the QR code to pay, and then picked up the dark blue umbrella with golden flowers, and smiled at the corner of his mouth, looking in a good mood.

"It's too late, there are only double rooms left," Lin Wu asked the front desk of the hotel, and then returned to report to Qin Shu, "Or do you want to open two single rooms?"

If you want to get caught, those who wish will take the bait.

Qin Shu looked at the bright smile in his eyes, and indulged, "It's up to you."

Satisfied, the little fox led him by the sleeve to book a room.
