52 Hz: see whales in the ocean

The next morning when Qiao Shuo woke up, it was already daylight, and the thick curtains covered the room in darkness, only a few rays of light came in from the edge of the curtains.The bed on the opposite side was already empty, and the quilt was spread evenly.Qiao Shuo stretched her waist and called Brother Xiong, but no one answered, and there was no one in the bathroom.

The room was too quiet, Qiao Shuo's first reaction was to feel a little creepy, he rushed to the window and opened the curtains "噗", the room was finally not so gloomy.Qiao Shuo looked around, Wen Liang's backpack was still hanging at the door, it seemed that he hadn't gone far.

Where did this guy go early in the morning?Qiao Shuo sat on the edge of the bed in a daze, recalling what happened last night, and felt that he might be dreaming and confused, why would he suddenly want to touch the scar on Wen Liang's wrist.From Wen Liang's reaction, he could tell that Wen Liang was very concerned and unhappy.

Could it be a temper tantrum?This time it really caught him off guard.With a sullen face, Qiao Shuo patted his thigh helplessly.The cell phone next to the pillow suddenly lights up, and there is a message from Qiuqiu displayed on the screen, Qiao Shuo clicks in and finds that it is Wen Liang.

Brother Xiong: Joe, are you coming for breakfast?

Brother Xiong: Here are steamed stuffed buns, soy milk, and sauce pancakes.

Qiao Shuo: Tsk, okay, you three, don't take me for breakfast (/pick your nose).

Qiao Shuo: Then finish your meal quickly and bring me a portion, and I will forgive you (/pick your nose).

Brother Xiong: (/laughing and crying) I am alone.

Brother Xiong: They haven't moved, probably haven't woken up yet.

Qiao Shuo: Where are you? I remember that this hotel does not include breakfast.

Qiao Shuo: Hey (/insidious), I just woke up and haven't dressed yet.

Qiao Shuo: If you are too lazy to wait for me, you can eat first, and don’t forget to bring me some (/smirk).

Brother Bear: ...

There was silence in the dialog box for about 2 minutes. Qiao Shuo was halfway through getting dressed before seeing the new message on the screen.

Brother Xiong: (/sweating) Old Joe, I can't find my way back.

This sentence is really wronged and pitiful, Qiao Shuo suddenly realized, no wonder Wen Liang didn't shout out in the dormitory group, it turned out that he felt ashamed because he couldn't find the way.Qiao Shuo laughed goose-calling alone into the phone.

Qiao Shuo: Don't run around, Dad will pick you up right away (/proud).

Wen Liang: ...

Both of them are not familiar with this small county, and the breakfast shop that Wen Liang mentioned can't be found on the mobile phone map. When Qiao Shuo asked him which landmarks are nearby, he was even more confused, okay? It is easy to find warm and cool.Wen Liang saw that he hadn't slept well, and there were big dark circles under his eyes.

The two entered the breakfast shop, found a relatively clean table and sat down to eat, relatively silent, Wen Liang looked up at Qiao Shuo who was opposite from time to time.Qiao Shuo was eating, and his mobile phone was placed on the table, as if playing some short video.

Wen Liang was distracted while eating, recalling what happened last night, the messy emotions in his heart would be twisted together, and a sense of weight would rise in his chest for no reason.He woke up very early in the morning, still sleepy but couldn't fall asleep, and felt embarrassed at the thought of facing Qiao Shuo, so he simply got up to wash up and go out to help everyone bring food, but he overestimated his sense of direction, and couldn't find it on the map To the small hotel where they live.

At that time, Wen Liang stared blankly at the mobile phone map with staggered routes, and the first person that came to mind was Qiao Shuo, even though what happened last night still made him feel complicated.Wen Liang hesitated to send Qiao Shuo a message on Qiuqiu, and within ten minutes of waiting for Qiao Shuo to come, he rehearsed how awkward the meeting would be several times in his mind.

Fortunately, Qiao Shuo was still joking and not serious, and didn't mention anything about what happened last night.Now Qiao Shuo was sitting opposite, Wen Liang glanced at the scar on his left wrist, and his heart was full of guilt that he wanted to cover up the wound and kept lying.

He often feels that he is very hypocritical, such as trying to make up beautiful polite words when he wants to be silent, pretending to be gregarious and acquainted when he doesn’t want to participate in social activities, such as pretending to be a lonely deep-sea monster but pretending to smile The appearance of going to gregarious.

What's the point? Maybe it's just your own protective shell.Repress when you should be proud, shrink back when you should be brave, your feet can't reach the ground, and your soul can't go smoothly.But at last he was able to hide himself safely in the crowd, as if he had defined a comfort zone, and once someone tried to walk in, there would always be a defensive siren.

Before going to sleep last night, the two lines of sight intertwined through the silent night, that momentary glimmer of light that no one wanted to see through, cautiously following each step.

This morning, Qiao Shuo looked no different from usual. He was chewing on the steamed stuffed bun, not caring that his handsome face was deformed by the food. It was inexplicably cute.His eyes fell on the phone screen, and occasionally he couldn't help laughing when he saw something funny.It was as if nothing that happened last night had touched his mood.

Wen Liang picked up a spoonful of porridge, lowered his eyes and smiled silently—a good-looking and optimistic person like Old Qiao must have no worries, and even if he did, he would not be worried if he looked in the mirror.

After eating, the two helped Jiang Chuan and Li Meng pack some breakfast and returned to the small hotel.After a few people packed up, they went to another scenic spot in the county. Entering from the big square is a very tall temple. Going up the stone steps, you can have a panoramic view of the surrounding scenery.

In the early spring, the grass and trees by the lake have turned green, the weather is clear and sunny, and the blue lake is glistening with sunshine.Farther away is the flourishing sea of ​​flowers, of various colors, no wonder the title on the flyer is "Flower Sea Style Food Carnival".

The wind was strong, and the four of them stood in the world for a group photo, but the effect was very funny—the four of them were blown by the wind and squinted their eyes, as if they had agreed to make such expressions tacitly.

After going down the stone steps and walking along the path, you will enter the cascading sea of ​​flowers.Many people stopped in front of the lawn by the lake. There were sprinkler irrigation pipes on the grass. The sprayed water scattered into beads in the air and sprinkled on the grass. Coincidentally, an obvious rainbow appeared in the midair, reflecting the lush green and Gentle pink peach blossom.

Standing behind the crowd, Wen Liang looked at the colorful rainbow, and couldn't help but took out his mobile phone to take a picture of the rainbow from the gap in the crowd.Qiao Shuo, who was standing behind, was also holding a mobile phone in his hand, and the screen stayed on the photo he had taken. In the photo, Wen Liang was looking at the rainbow on the grass with rapt attention.

After leaving the scenic spot, the four people in the dormitory went directly to the nearby food street.The food street is very busy with people coming and going. Looking around, the middle of the whole street is covered with a red carpet, and small triangular colored flags are flying in the sky. The food stalls on both sides are next to each other, and all kinds of signs are hung: Sizzling Duck Sausage, Northwest Roasted Gluten King, Changsha Big Sausage, Potato Tart...

Everyone took out the leaflet of the Huahai Food Festival, showed the organizer the record of forwarding and collecting likes in the circle of friends at the entrance of the food street, and stamped the voucher.There are many kinds of snacks in the food street, not only local snacks, but also many foreign snacks.

The four people in the dormitory walked around the food street, and they were a little dazzled for a while, not knowing what to eat.As he walked, Qiao Shuo fixed his eyes on a stall with a signboard of "Coconut Milk Coconut Milk".

"Brother Xiong, do you want a drink?" Qiao Shuo put his arm on Wen Liang's shoulder, and pointed him to the food stall not far away.

Wen Liang looked at the snacks all over the street, but didn't have any idea, so when he heard Qiao Shuo's suggestion, he went along with him.

The food stall had a lot of coconut products and cut fruits. Qiao Shuo was a little surprised that there were special products from his hometown here.The two bought a cup of fresh coconut juice each, and also bought a few boxes of jackfruit and dried mangoes. Qiao Shuo regretted that the stall did not have chili salt for dipping the fruits.

There are always coconut juice drinks in the streets and alleys of Qiao Shuo's hometown, some with ice, coconut fruit and other small ingredients, and you can buy them anytime you are thirsty on the street.When Qiao Shuo saw the fresh coconut juice in other places, he really felt like seeing an old friend. He couldn’t wait to take a sip, and his mood dropped a lot—it’s much more expensive than that in his hometown, let alone it, and the taste is still so light. , I don't know how much water is mixed.

Wen Liang on the side drank the coconut juice and seemed to think it tasted good.

"Is it good, Brother Xiong?" Qiao Shuo asked.

"It's delicious." Wen Liang smiled at him sincerely.

Qiao Shuo couldn't help wondering whether Wen Liang's sense of taste had failed. He wanted to complain a few words, but now he didn't know what to say. He pouted sullenly and took off the plastic film on the fruit box, and started to eat the dried mangoes.

Jiang Chuan and Li Meng went to other stalls to buy skewers, while Wen Liang and Qiao Shuo sat on the blue plastic chairs by the side of the road and waited for them.Wen Liang was drinking the coconut milk he bought just now, but his eyes had been scrutinizing Qiao Shuo's expression quietly. I don't know if it was an illusion, but Qiao Shuo didn't seem to like drinking coconut juice.

When I first came to university last semester, everyone would chat in the dormitory when they were free and bored. At that time, we were not familiar with each other. The content of the chat was nothing more than my hobbies, the high schools I went to, the characteristics of my hometown and snacks, etc. .

At that time, Qiao Shuo was lying on the edge of the upper bunk bed, with his arms drooping, and said with a smile: "It's only about ten minutes from my house to the beach. There are barbecues near the beach, and it's very lively at night. But in some plots, The beach is pretty much deserted...”

Wen Liang would always sit on the lower bunk and look up at Qiao Shuo's bright smile, listening to him quietly and attentively, imagining what life by the sea would be like in his mind.

He has lived in a small inland county since he was a child, and has an inexplicable obsession with the sea, but in his long time of nearly 20 years, he has never seen the real sea, never blown the brackish sea breeze, and never touched it. The surging waves, all the impressions of the sea are only shallow images.

Even so, the unreal imagination in his heart supported Wen Liang's boundless longing for the sea, so that when he heard that Qiao Shuo's hometown was far away in a coastal city in the south, he felt curious and envious in his heart. I would expect Qiao Shuo to talk about his hometown.He would occasionally find opportunities to ask Qiao Shuo: Do ​​you eat seafood every day?Can you swim?Is it hot all year round in your place?Is there a lot of fruit?

When Qiao Shuo answered him, he would also talk about other related things, so he learned more about the sea, such as the cockroaches over there are very big and the mosquitoes are fierce, there is no toll on the highway, but the oil price is high, and sometimes online shopping It will be classified as remote areas. For example, sometimes you need to buy down jackets. Cars and trains going out of the province and entering the province have to be transported by boat. Not every sea is allowed to swim in the sea. Another example is taking a nap in summer and waking up to drink a glass of iced coconut milk. It's just so comfortable...

At this moment, Qiao Shuo was sitting across from him, eating some fruit, and the cup of coconut milk on the table that he drank two sips of was never touched again.

"Old Qiao, aren't you thirsty after walking for so long in the morning?" Wen Liang was a little puzzled, what he didn't ask was why Lao Qiao wasn't interested in the special drinks of his own hometown - you don't want to drink from his hometown so far away drink.

The author has something to say:

I think Lao Qiao and Xiao Liang are both good actors, and they are almost rivals. The dream and Wen Liang’s scar are actually very concerned about the old Qiao. After seeing Wen Liang, he pretended to be joking. He is not careless No lungs.I don't know if anyone has noticed that Wen Liang has always thought that Lao Qiao is very handsome~ plus Lao Qiao's hometown has the sea, Wen Liang has a good impression of him (oh hoo actually has a buff bonus).Have you guys ever had a pinch of mango dipped in chilli salt?I want to eat too~
