Attempted first love

You need to take a boat from the urban area to the island. Because it is not the peak tourist season, there are only two round-trip boats at the pier every day.The latest departure to the island is at [-]:[-] noon.

Originally, the two of them planned to leave after lunch. After learning the sailing time, Xia Yan suggested that he drive to the meeting hotel first, and set off immediately after Lu Zhouyu finished the meeting.But before going to bed, I received a message from Lu Zhouyu, telling him that the meeting would end at about ten o'clock, and Xia Yan should just wait at home.

At [-]:[-] the next morning, Xia Yan locked the door and went downstairs, a tall off-road vehicle parked in front of the unit.At first, he lowered his head to type and didn't pay attention. After the news was sent, he heard a sound coming from the side of the car, so he looked up.

Lu Zhouyu was standing in front of the car, on the side of the road where the two had kissed last night, probably because of a meeting, so it was rare for him to wear formal clothes.When their eyes met, he raised his hand and smiled, signaling Xia Yan to go over.

"When did you arrive?" Xia Yan ran over in two or three steps, "Why didn't you ask me to come down?"

"Just arrived," Lu Zhouyu put away his phone, half-jokingly said, "I'm afraid you haven't packed it yet."

"I have nothing to clean up." Xia Yan said.

Worried about oversleeping, he even set a series of alarm clocks, which sounded every 08 minutes from 30:5 to 07:30, but he woke up automatically just after [-]:[-].Originally, I had prepared slightly more formal clothes, but when I thought about the need to drive and take a boat, I temporarily changed into light sportswear. It was only after eight o'clock when everything was tidied up.

It was abruptly until 09:30, and before going out, I felt that the hair on the forehead covered my eyes, which looked not energetic enough, so I trimmed and trimmed it in the mirror to show the complete eyebrows and eyes before going downstairs with my backpack.

Last night's rainy night, the faint fragrance hit again, the sun hangs naked between the buildings, and the air is full of the warm fragrance of ripe flowers.

"The flowers are blooming again." Lu Zhouyu's voice came, and he pointed to the sweet-scented osmanthus tree beside him. The flower buds that had survived the rain before were quietly blooming, and the broken and crushed fallen flowers on the ground were swept away. .

Xia Yan suddenly had the illusion that when they hugged each other last night, it was last autumn, and now it is the second autumn, the four seasons are intertwined in the skin, the breathing is entangled, and the long night rain has completed the change.

"Get in the car." Lu Zhouyu pulled the co-pilot away.

"You must be tired from the meeting." Xia Yan put one hand on the car door and said with a smile, "I'm the assistant, I'll drive."

With a light shoulder, Lu Zhouyu raised his hand to take off his backpack, opened the back seat and put it in, then took out a kraft paper bag and stuffed it for Xia Yan, saying: "Let's have breakfast first, you can open it when you come back." After finishing speaking, Go around and sit in the driver's seat.

Xia Yan took his breakfast and sat in the co-pilot, and saw that Lu Zhouyu had already taken off his suit jacket, and his shirt sleeves were rolled up to his elbows. When the car was driving on the main road, he raised the windows to block out the wind.

There are several kinds of breakfast in brown paper bags. After the windows are closed, the aroma of food fills the compartment.Xia Yan likes to sleep late, skipping breakfast has become the norm over time, and he still doesn't feel hungry yet.

"Have you eaten at home?" Lu Zhouyu asked while turning his head to the side during the red light.

"No." Xia Yan took out a sandwich from the bag, tore open the package, took a bite and felt choked, opened the soy milk again, and sipped it.

After drinking less than half of it, his stomach already felt full. He held the paper cup and asked casually, "What did you eat in the morning?"

"I haven't eaten yet." Lu Zhouyu started the car and answered him.

"Why haven't you eaten yet?" Xia Yan put the paper cup into the cup holder, lowered his head and rummaged through the brown paper bag, after realizing that it was probably the breakfast provided by the hotel, he asked, "What do you want to eat? There are steamed stuffed buns and eggs. "

"Eat," Lu Zhouyu looked ahead, "I'll drive."

The car had already driven onto the elevated road, and couldn't stop rashly. Xia Yan tore off the layer of paper at the bottom of the steamed stuffed bun. He wanted to feed it to Lu Zhouyu, but he was worried that it would be unsafe for him to drive. At the same time, he was a little embarrassed and hesitated.

Lu Zhouyu drove unhurriedly, didn't glance at him, but somehow saw his intentions, and said with a smile, "I drank coffee during the meeting, so I'm not too hungry."

"Then eat at the pier." Putting the paper bag away, Xia Yan called up the navigation system. After the suburban line is built, it will only take one hour from the urban area to the pier without traffic jams, and then half an hour by boat to reach the island.

Not long after I finished speaking, there seemed to be an accident ahead, the traffic slowed down, drove slowly for a while and then stopped completely.Xia Yan lowered the window of the car and looked out. The traffic jam wasn't too long. Then he heard the owner of the car next to him say that the tire of the van in front had exploded and it would be repaired soon.

Drilling back into the carriage, he took out the steamed stuffed bun that he had put away just now, and found that it was completely cold and the dough was hard.Lu Zhouyu took it from him, didn't say anything, and coughed after eating.

Xia Yan saw that there was mineral water in the back seat, and when he was about to bring it to him, Lu Zhouyu picked up the soy milk he put on the center console and took a few sips calmly.

"No sugar." He put down the glass.

Xia Yan was absent-minded when he drank it, and he didn't remember whether the soy milk was sweet or salty, so he gave a vague "um" and said, "You finish it, I'm full."

Lu Zhouyu nodded slightly, opened the storage box, grabbed a few candies from it, hung his palms up on the center console, and asked, "Do you want to eat?"

The candies are exquisitely packaged, shining like jewels in the palm of his hand. Xia Yan originally stretched out two fingers to grab them, but when he was getting close to the candy wrappers, he suddenly thought of it and opened his palms to stick them.

Touching the fingertips together, one can clearly feel the temperature transfer, and the sharp edge of the candy paper is scratched in the palm of the hand, like ants gnawing on the skin. Xia Yan asked: "Give it all to me?"

Lu Zhouyu turned his head to look at him, with a faint smile in his eyes, and said, "Yes." Whether intentionally or not, he stretched his fingers, and Xia Yan took advantage of the situation to interlock his fingers, turning his palms up and down, and a few candies fell on him hands.

The seat belt across his chest seemed to be gradually tightening, oppressing his heart, his breathing accelerated unconsciously, and he didn't separate his hands until the traffic slowly started moving forward.

Xia Yan peeled off a piece of sugar and put it in his mouth, the rich plum flavor instantly dissipated, causing him to frown and shout: "It's so sour!" Putting the sugar on the inside of his mouth, after a while of numbness, Xia Yan accused : "Did you do it on purpose?"

Lu Zhouyu laughed softly, lowered the car window, and the wind slowly poured into the car. He said, "Sorry, it's my sister's candy. You can see if there are other flavors."

"It's okay." Xia Yan said, in fact, only the outer layer of plum powder is sour, after melting, the sweetness begins to rise.

After the car drove nearly [-] meters intermittently, the road became smooth again, Xia Yan pushed the candy from the left side of his mouth to the right side.The scenery outside the window gradually opened up, the sea level swayed far away, and the sound of waves hitting the reef could even be heard.

Inexplicably, he felt that this scene was very suitable for smoking, for some strong and rushing tastes, to vent so many emotions that were almost overflowing.

Turning his head slightly, Lu Zhouyu noticed Xia Yan's movements, and asked, "Are you bored?" Without waiting for Xia Yan's answer, he said, "There is a plan in the back seat for today, if you are bored, you can take a look."

Holding the file bag in his hand, Xia Yan asked: "This is confidential, can I see it?"

"Aren't you an assistant?" Lu Zhouyu held the steering wheel and looked ahead, and said casually, "Look, comments are welcome."

After staring at his profile for a while, Xia Yan lowered his head, laid the document flat on his knees, and looked at it quietly page by page.

After reading everything, the car had already driven off the highway. The road leading to the pier was in disrepair for a long time, and the road was full of potholes of different sizes, but Lu Zhouyu drove very steadily, and the motorcycle with the big bamboo basket was constantly shaking. After passing them, it took a while to reach the parking lot.

The pier was very lively. Just now those motorcycles parked on both sides of the road, untied the bamboo baskets on the back seat, took out the sea fish that was as long as the forearm, and spread them on the gray woven bags for people to choose.

The scales of the fish are shining white in the sun, as if the breath from the ocean has not been exhausted.

Passing through the long pier market, there is a white horn in front of the ticket office, constantly broadcasting the sailing time.

"Half an hour! Half an hour!"

"Last class today! Last class!"

Xia Yan walked over and wanted to scan the QR code to book tickets, but was told that only cash was accepted. Lu Zhouyu passed a note from behind him and said, "Two tickets."

The conductor looked at his suit up and down and asked, "The upper cabin?"

"Ah."

After handing over two tickets, he asked them again: "First time?"

Xia Yan said "yes", and the conductor said kindly: "Remember to take seasickness medicine, you will get sick when you take a boat for the first time, it's uncomfortable." She casually pointed to the side of the pier, where there was an unremarkable iron house.

It was near noon and the sun was scorching. When Lu Zhouyu got out of the car, his coat was draped over his elbows. At this moment, he undid a button on the collar of his shirt. Xia Yan looked at him and said, "I'm going to buy motion sickness medicine. You should get on the boat first." .”

It was only when I got closer that I saw the word "pharmacy" written crookedly on the wall of the iron house, and the rolling shutter door was halfway down, making it impossible to see the interior clearly.Xia Yan knocked on the door uncertainly, but no one answered, he knocked twice and walked in.

There was a recliner behind the counter, and someone was lying on it with a storybook covering his face. Hearing the sound of the rolling door, a "Who is it?" came from the storybook.

"Hello, buy medicine." Xia Yan said, and couldn't help but look at the decoration of the store.It is small and simple, and the medicines in the counter are piled up crookedly, not very formal.

The clerk got up from the reclining chair. It was a young-looking woman who stepped on her slippers and walked over. She yawned and asked, "What medicine do you want?"

"Seasickness medicine."

"Do you want medicine or stickers?"

"Which effect is better?"

"Look at your physique," the clerk said, bent down and took out two boxes from the counter, glanced at Xia Yan, and asked, "This is your first time on a boat?"

"Ah."

"Then take the medicine, it will work quickly." She pushed one of the boxes over, "Eight yuan."

"Is this the only one?" Xia Yan asked.

"There are twenty more," the clerk tapped the box with his pink nails, "the effect is the same."

"Twenty, thank you." Xia Yan took out his mobile phone, glanced at the glass counter, did not see the payment code, and asked, "Can I pay by mobile phone?"

"You wait here," she turned and pushed open a small door on the wall, "I'll get the medicine."

Xia Yan picked up the medicine box on the counter, looked at the efficacy and side effects of the medicine on it, and said that it is advisable to take it 10 minutes before boarding the ship.Just as he was about to put it down, his eyes swept across the colorful scene in the counter.

Looking closer, it turned out to be all kinds of family planning products. The exaggerated words on the box were like heat waves, approaching his eyes, eyebrows, cheeks, and heart.

Xia Yan couldn't help swallowing, feeling his throat was parched.

The clerk's footsteps approached, pushed a box of more delicately packaged medicine and the QR code together, smiled and asked, "Do you want anything else?"

Xia Yan scanned the QR code and was about to pay when he suddenly remembered something and pointed his finger on the counter, "Is there..."

Before he could finish speaking, the clerk quickly pulled out a silver-white box from the counter and threw it crisply on the counter.

Ultra-thin, airy, 0.01, it is a box condom.

"This kind is the best." She didn't change her face.

"...I don't want this." Xia Yan said.

"Handsome guy," the clerk brushed his hair and said to him very seriously, "Don't let your girlfriend take birth control pills, it's bad for your health."
