kiss Me

"Xiao Wu, you're back—why don't you come up?"

Lin Wu raised his head, met Wang Han's gaze across half of the ocean ball pool, and his gaze subtly sank, remembering that Wang Han sent a message not long ago asking him where he was, and he casually replied "in the car".

After all, he was brought out to work, so there is nothing wrong with the teacher caring about the whereabouts of the students... He nodded, covered the microphone and said "immediately" to Wang Han, indicating that he would not return to the room for a while, and leave the door open for him just fine.

Wang Han understood, so he didn't go up to disturb him, but he didn't leave either. He just sat down on the sofa beside him and looked at him across most of the hotel lobby.

—or should it be called "watching him."

He didn't know who the person on the other end of the phone was, but felt that Lin Wu seemed to be a different person now, far from the boy he had seen these days.

It's not that he is more comfortable than his age in front of others, and he is not as sick as he is when he is alone in private. He is gentle but unpredictable. Covering the eyebrows and eyes, revealing the fair side cheeks and softly contoured lips, like a high school student.

I don't know what the person on the other end of the phone said, but from his point of view, I can only see that Lin Wu lowered his head and didn't speak, occasionally responding with "um" and "um", and the particle words are wrapped in sticky and sticky words that make people itch. Soft, with a smile from the corner of his mouth to his eyes, looking very happy.

When she raised her head and spoke to him, she changed her expression again, still smiling, but anyone could see that it was just out of politeness.

Noticing Lin Wu's frequent, almost scrutinizing gazes, Wang Han withdrew his gaze, got up wisely and planned to leave - he had no intention of peeping at first, he just came down to smoke a cigarette, and happened to be not far from the smoking area When he saw the other party, he couldn't help but take a second look.

Thanks to these few minutes, he accidentally caught a glimpse of Lin Wu's other side that was not open to him, which was considered a windfall.

Before the elevator doors closed, he raised his head and saw Lin Wu's smiling side face from a distance, and couldn't help squinting, feeling a little jealous of the person on the other side of the phone.

It can make this young man with a habitual smile that can't reach his eyes let go of his guard, like a fox who has been mixed in human society, change back to his original form, wagging his tail and obediently letting others do it-the relationship may be very unusual.

"Who was it just now?"

Lin Wu turned his head and took a look, and he was relieved when he was sure that the person had left. He didn't mention Wang Han sitting there watching him for nearly 10 minutes, and just replied lightly: "Instructor, auntie introduced him to hold an exhibition here. That." - "Auntie" refers to Qin Shu's mother.

When he said this, he didn't smile, his tone subtly sank, and he kind of expected Qin Shu to ask a few more questions.

However, as expected, Qin Shu didn't even intend to continue the topic, but just asked him what plans he had for tomorrow and whether he should take a rest.

"It is said that students from a nearby school were arranged to visit. It is an autumn outing, and it has nothing to do with me..." He breathed a sigh of relief, and then tasted a little disappointment contradictoryly, and continued after a pause, "It depends. Catch up on sleep in the morning, and go to see it when I wake up in the afternoon, I still like to play with the children, it’s better than going to some dinner party.”

Qin Shu gave a "hmm" sound, as if he was thinking about something, and called him after a few seconds, "By the way, Xiaowu..."

"Ok?"

"The air tickets for today and tomorrow are sold out," a small wind came from the other end of the phone, and the young man's lowered voice was modified to be gentle and tinged with a little apology, "I'll see you the day after tomorrow, is it okay? "

Lin Wu was stunned, he didn't expect that the joke he mentioned before was taken seriously, and he couldn't help curling the corners of his mouth when he came back to his senses: "No, it will be over the day after tomorrow, if it is soon, I will go back at night, don't make a special effort Come on."

Tomorrow Friday, he remembered that Qin Shu had classes in the morning and would go to the teacher's laboratory to help out on weekends. Even though the school was only two hours away by plane, it was still inconvenient to come out.

His cold is almost healed, and he said that on a whim, and he didn't mean to disrupt the other party's life rhythm. He was already very flattered by this answer.

As the night turns cooler, the wind blows in through the revolving door in bursts, like a silent clock.

Lin Wu lowered his head and pulled up his collar a little to cover the phone and the lower half of his face, as if hiding the whispers between each other in a corner, turning back ambiguously and maliciously.

"Brother, you have something to do these two days, why do you still have time to look at the plane ticket?" He spoke slowly, and it was rare to find Qin Shu's flaws to tease him, but he was a little regretful that he didn't make a video call just now and watched through the screen. I didn't see the other person's expression, "I used to have more classes in country F, and it was far away. Did you come to see me in such a busy time..."

He didn't want to pry any flattering answer from Qin Shu's mouth—the part that pretended to coax him said that, at least based on what he knew about Qin Shu in the past ten years, his brother was essentially a reserved and emotional man. Indifferent people don't know how to say what they mean, but they are not good at sweet words.

But sometimes the statement of the facts is romantic enough in itself to stir up turbulent echoes in him.

"That's right," Qin Shu's voice came out of the microphone and flowed into his ears, "I changed my major to finance after I returned to China. At that time, I was studying engineering design at the university there, and I was the teacher. Dad’s friend made an exception and let me enter the laboratory to follow the project in the first year, of course it’s just to do some basic work, the basics are trivial, and I have to go there almost every day after class.”

"So I'm only free on weekends. Take the train on Friday afternoon, take the afternoon, and I can arrive at your school in the evening... You are also on weekends and holidays, so really counting, the only time I can find you is the hour before school ends. "

"...is enough for me."

Lin Wu covered the other ear, leaving only Qin Shudan's voice in his world, feeling that the part touching his palm was burning hopelessly, from the pinna to the cheek, meaningless and irrefutable embarrassing reaction.

"It's my fault for being too attentive in class. I should look around more." He lowered his eyes and looked at the ocean balls of different colors under his feet. He thought of the same colorful paints in high school, the long-lasting smell of turpentine and acrylic in the studio, and the brushes in twos and twos. The imaginary scene is outlined below, the travel-stained young man walked into the school quickly, used some excuses to let the security guard let him go, then found his classroom with or without familiarity, stopped near the back door, and passed a group of students And the setting sun that covered most of the classroom looked at him quietly.

It must be a very gentle, cautious and restrained gaze that can quietly embrace him without being detected by his sensitive radar.

He closed his eyes, went across the sliding door in his memory to look for Qin Shu, but hid the second part of what he wanted to say to the other party in a chuckle like a sigh.

"That way I can see you sooner..."

It was past midnight when Lin Wu returned to the room, and Wang Han was not there. I don't know where he went to make phone calls or smoke.

He quickly took a shower, followed the instruction manual, threw a few pills of different medicines into his mouth, and poured them down with mineral water, while thinking in a mess, "Fortunately, Qin Shu is not here. I don't know how late he took it with cold water." For an hour", he fell into the bed with his half-dry hair on his back, rolled around and got up angrily to dry his hair.

The hair is a little longer again, with a section of natural tan growing from the root of the hair, which forms a blurred dividing line with the part that has been dyed and gradually faded. The thick bangs are already a bit eye-catching.

He squinted at the messy noise of the hairdryer, wondering when the next time he went to the barber shop was, and whether he should simply cut his hair shorter or dye it some new color.

Then remembering that his original intention of dyeing back to the dark color was to please Qin Shu, his thoughts paused subtly until he put down the hair dryer before turning again.

——He seems to have passed the stage of relying on appearance to seduce each other. Even if he goes out to find a barber shop, and then goes back to meet Qin Shu with a jumping rainbow tinfoil iron on his head, his brother will probably only silently respect him. "Brand new aesthetics", blindly and sincerely praised him for his good looks.

But he hasn't freed himself enough to really go out with a feather duster on his head. He just planned the time in his mind, planning to find a chance to go to the barber shop before going back to school, change his hair color according to the chance, and see how Qin Shu will react.

He would be delighted to be asked "how did he dye his hair without saying a word".

It's a bit like a child who wants to attract the attention of adults, or an adolescent girl who deliberately let her hair down in front of her sweetheart. She refuses to speak up, but secretly expects that the other party will take the initiative to notice to prove her status.

He glanced at the time and made sure that there was one missing room card on the communal table, and he didn't need to get up in the middle of the night to open the door, so he temporarily stopped thinking about the hairstyle, grabbed two handfuls of messy bangs, and turned around. Go back to bed and turn off the light by the way.

It seems that the hotel changed the winter quilt when they went out, which is very considerate, but for this season—or for him, who is naturally afraid of heat but not cold, it is still a bit thick, and it made him feel a little stuffy, so he had to lift a corner Breathable, turned over naturally.

The silhouette of the moon came in through the gap in the curtains, quietly, reminding him of Qin Shu and the ball of wool that appeared and disappeared.

When he was with Qin Shu, he was hidden by love without a trace, but when he was alone, he suddenly appeared, sharing with him the loneliness that became more and more unbearable after the sweetness.

——In this way, there is a sense of sharing weal and woe, using inexplicable emotional cards to defeat his reason that he knows that he should live in the love of the moment.

He stuffed a pillow into his bosom, resisting the gradually rising drowsiness of the drug, thinking to himself which great man said that when he has nothing to lose, he is qualified to forge ahead, and only when he gets it, he has to worry about gains and losses.

Then he sighed, remembering that this was not a famous quote, but something he wrote in his diary when he was in junior high school.
