Attempted first love

The next day, Xia Yan woke up on Lu Zhouyu's bed.

In the few seconds of sleepy eyes, he remembered that he watched a movie on this bed before going to sleep, and then fell asleep because he was too sleepy, and said that he would go back to his own bed after the movie was over.

I managed to open my eyes, and there were traces of tidying on the other bed, but no one was there.

The sound of rain outside the window could no longer be heard, and thin sunlight filtered into the room through the curtains. It was not a sunny day, but the rain stopped.

Not long after, the door of the bathroom was pushed open from the inside. Xia Yan squinted to see that Lu Zhouyu had changed into the pants he washed yesterday. He walked to the window, opened a corner of the curtain, looked out, and said, "The rain stops." gone."

"How do you know I'm awake?" Xia Yan stood up holding the quilt, and sat on the head of the bed, his voice was not yet fully opened, muffled.

"Your eyelids don't move when you're asleep." Lu Zhouyu let go of the curtains, walked to another bed and sat down, and asked him, "Are you still sleeping?"

"what time is it?"

"Nine o'clock."

"Nine o'clock?" Xia Yan lifted the quilt, it was also after nine o'clock when watching a movie last night, "I can sleep too much."

After folding the quilt casually, and patting it twice, he and Lu Zhouyu sat face to face on the edge of the bed, looking past his eyes, "You, on the other hand, seem to have been sleeping very little."

"It's okay," Lu Zhouyu looked at him frankly, with no sign of lack of sleep visible on his face, "Six hours of sleep a day is enough for me."

"No wonder, I've never seen you sleeping." Whether they lived in the same dormitory ten years ago or now, when he opened his eyes, he always saw no one.

"What are you doing seeing me asleep?"

"I don't know." Xia Yan blinked, and laughed as if thinking of something, "Kiss to wake you up? Isn't that how it's done in movies?"

After finishing speaking, Lu Zhouyu looked at him and said nothing.

Averted his eyes in embarrassment, Xia Yan was about to get up when two hands grasped his knees respectively, forcing him to sit back, "What's wrong?"

"I usually wake up at six o'clock." Lu Zhouyu leaned on his knees, leaned forward, and asked with a smile, "Can you get up before six o'clock?"

Their eyes met, they paused for a moment, Xia Yan nodded as if bewitched, and said, "Yes, no problem."

The hands on the knees tightened and then loosened. Lu Zhouyu raised his hands and squeezed Xia Yan's face with his thumb and index finger. "Go and wash up. There is a boat back at 10:30."

"Oh, good." Xia Yan got up and walked to the bathroom. When he passed the entrance, Lu Zhouyu called him from behind and said, "The pants are dry."

Xia Yan tore off the sweatpants hanging on the hanger, walked into the bathroom and closed the door.

The disposable toilet utensils used last night have been replaced with new ones. After washing, Xia Yan picked up his trousers, and subconsciously moved closer to sniffing it. There was a very faint scent of soap.

After middle school, no one washed his clothes. Later, he lived alone, and he bought laundry detergent at random. There are all kinds of fancy fragrances in the supermarket.Such a plain scent of soap reminded him of the days when he lived with his grandma when he was a child. His clothes were always clean, sun-baked, and warm.

After breakfast at the inn, when they checked out, Ms. Zhang warmly entertained them again, and gave them a bag of island specialties, and regretted the bad weather, "I have to leave so soon, I didn't have time to take a good look around, the typhoon That’s how the sky turns from sunny to rainy.”

"It's okay," Xia Yan said, "I had a lot of fun." He almost forgot that they were just scouting locations for work at first, and pointed to Lu Zhouyu and added: "His work is also going well."

"Well." Lu Zhouyu took the ID card, but returned the deposit, "I will come here often in the future, can this room be rented for a long time?"

"Okay, okay," Sister Zhang manipulated the computer a few times, and said, "The next month is reserved for you", and also said, "Next time you come, you must take a good look around, the scenery on our island is very good."

She didn't know about Lu Zhouyu's specific work, even if she asked, it was still in the fog. "Installation art" is too abstract and distant for ordinary people, but Xia Yan simply said to her in shock: " He just wants to be a good-looking big guy on the island, and there will be a lot of people to visit."

Because of this, Ms. Zhang was convinced that they were seeking benefits for the island where her family was located, and insisted that they no longer charge room fees. "You can stay whenever you come."

"Sister, this is not acceptable." Xia Yan waved his hand, as if to put down all the special products.

Between the two of them pushing and pulling, Lu Zhouyu went to scan the QR code at the front desk. It was not until the reminder of the payment amount sounded that it was a whole month's room fee through the sound in the store. Sister Zhang realized that she had been tricked. .

"Oh," she pointed to this and that, "you two."

It was still early, so they declined Sister Zhang's proposal to take them to the pier, and the two walked along the island.

Probably because I am used to the slow pace of life. After the rain, most of the shops along the streets of the island are still closed, and there are not many pedestrians on the road.

Turn right out of the inn, it is an uphill road, the road is covered with a layer of branches and leaves that have been shaken off by the rain, and there are also whole flowers that have been knocked down. When passing by flowers, Xia Yan will step over them.

Halfway along a road, the breath began to rush. The special products given by Sister Zhang contained fruits, which were heavy, and the blood supply to the fingers of the plastic bag handle was not smooth. When Xia Yan wanted to change his hand, Lu Zhouyu took it from his hand. over the bag.

Just as he was about to refuse, Lu Zhouyu held his stiff fingers with his other hand, and rubbed his thumbs at the root of his fingers. He stopped insisting, and let this movement, which seemed to be holding hands, occasionally shake his arms.

Turning the corner, you can already see the pier, and there are several ships floating on the sea, with their sails hunting the wind.Xia Yan wanted to extend the distance indefinitely, so he slowed down unconsciously, and walked out for a while. Lu Zhouyu patted him on the shoulder and asked, "Is there any medicine for seasickness?"

"Yes." Xia Yan unloaded his backpack, took out the medicine box, took a pill out of the tin foil and handed it over, "It's only effective if you take it half an hour in advance, I almost forgot."

"I don't get seasick." Lu Zhouyu didn't pick up the small round pill, but took out mineral water from the side of his bag, unscrewed it and said, "You take it first."

Taking the medicine had no effect, and he was still dizzy, but the water bottle was brought to his mouth, so Xia Yan had no choice but to stuff the pills into his mouth, landed on the mouth of the bottle that Lu Zhouyu handed over, took a sip of water and swallowed the pills.

"Aren't you going to take a piece?" Xia Yan shook the tin foil plate, and said, "You'd better take a piece, in case you get seasick, it will be really hard."

Another tablet was deducted, but when he looked up, Lu Zhouyu was holding a plastic bag in one hand and a mineral water bottle in the other. Xia Yan looked at his lips that were closed together, they were dry and a little white.

Stretching out her fingertips and rubbing between his lips, Xia Yan said softly, "Open your mouth, take the medicine." Lu Zhouyu smiled, opened her lips obediently, took the medicine in her mouth, and drank it with her head up Two mouthfuls of water.

When putting away things in the morning, Xia Yan conveniently threw the phone in the bag, packed the medicine box, and was watching an incoming call when the screen flickered on the bottom of the bag.

It was Shen Qi calling.

This is the first time Shen Qi called since Xia Yan told him that he would contact him if he had business to do on the phone that day at the art museum.

Before he could connect in time, the phone had automatically hung up, Xia Yan planned to call him back when he got home, but Shen Qi called again.

"The phone is ringing." Lu Zhouyu reminded at the right time. Xia Yan originally wanted to pretend that he didn't see it, so he had no choice but to pick it up and connect.

I don't know if it was to avoid suspicion, Lu Zhouyu took a step forward, Xia Yan followed behind him, "Hello."

On the phone, Shen Qi told Xia Yan that the time for him to go abroad has been fixed, on the Sunday of the week at the end of the month, "You promised to come and see me off, you have to keep your word."

"Definitely." Xia Yan looked at Lu Zhouyu's hand that was carrying the plastic bag. Due to the force, the tendons on the back of the hand were obvious, while the other hand was swinging back and forth as he walked.

He asked Shen Qi: "Have you put away everything? Don't throw away everything."

"Put it away," Shen Qi's music was very loud, so when he spoke, he raised his voice, almost yelling, "I'm not a child anymore!"

Xia Yan took the phone in the other hand, quickened his pace, and reached out to catch Lu Zhouyu's hand, but only touched the back of his hand, and staggered away again.

"Understood, it's Sunday, right?" Xia Yan smiled, and wanted to end the call, so he said, "I'll never forget it."

After being touched behind his hand, Lu Zhouyu's pace slowed down, following Xia Yan's rhythm, but he didn't speak.

"Mr. Xia, did you forget?" Shen Qi continued to shout: "Your birthday is Saturday that week, why don't you come to me on Saturday and I'll hold an arty for you?"

Lu Zhouyu glanced at him slightly sideways.

"What's wrong?" Xia Yan asked with his mouth.

Lu Zhouyu raised his chin, motioned for him to continue calling, his eyes were calm, as if he didn't listen to his call at all, and then held his little finger.

On the other end of the phone, Shen Qi was still yelling, Xia Yan had no choice but to respond to him first: "No, you young people can play. I'll go there ahead of time for the flight that day."

"Morning, how are you going to spend your birthday? Can I find you?"

"Didn't you stay with your family before you went abroad?" Xia Yan intentionally lagged behind Lu Zhouyu half a step, looked at his back, and whispered, "I have a job that day, and I'm out of town."

"Okay," Shen Qi compromised: "You must not forget to see me off, or I won't leave."

"Okay." Xia Yan promised him repeatedly, seeing the pier getting closer, he hung up the phone on the excuse that he was busy.

The little finger was still being led, and they walked silently one after the other. When passing through a forest, Xia Yan shook his arms, "You look like a person."

Lu Zhouyu stopped, turned his head and asked, "Who?"

Xia Yan also stopped, and faced him face to face. After a while, he said, "My grandma."

"When I went out when I was a child, she was afraid that I would get lost, so she would only pull on the little finger, saying that she could hold it tightly." Xia Yan said, "She also likes to wash my clothes with soap."

The hand holding his little finger tightened, and Lu Zhouyu pulled him a step forward. She nodded and said in an unidentifiable tone, "So you think of me as your grandma."

I don't know what kind of tree is around, the trunk is straight and tall, the leaves are as big as the mouth of a basin, and the layers are pressed down, the moist mist is thick, and there are only a few birdsong, and there is no other sound.

"Of course not," Xia Yan immediately denied, "It's just that I miss her very much all of a sudden. It's been a long time since no one has treated me like this."

Lu Zhouyu said "hmm", put his hand on the back of his head and rubbed it, "Let's go."

Xia Yan didn't want to leave, there were some issues that needed to be confirmed before leaving the island, but he didn't know how to express them, how to speak up.He fiddled with the leaves in front of him, the veins stretched upwards from the roots, diverged, and merged into a unique beauty.

While hesitating, Lu Zhouyu suddenly lowered his head, pressed his lips against his, and said lightly, "I'm just joking, even if you really treat me as..."

Before he finished speaking, Xia Yan looked up into his eyes, and said seriously: "I can tell the difference between grandma and...boyfriend, and others."

He came to the island with him, bought the box of condoms, vomited on the boat until the sky was dark, was trapped on the island, squeezed into a bed, comforted each other, couldn't help wanting to hold hands, kiss, and watch him wash his clothes anytime, anywhere Nasal acid...

All of these are really like a perfect date at the right time and place.

Also like a high fever-like illusory dream.

"What about you?" Xia Yan asked, can you tell the difference.

"What about me?" Lu Zhouyu also looked directly at him, and replied with a smile, "I don't think of you as my grandma."

For no reason, Xia Yan felt that he could understand his question, but did not reply.

It is unclear who approached first, they kissed again under the green shade like the sky, the sound of the water intertwined, and the ships not far away began to whistle, urging the people on the outlying island to speed up their pace.

"When will you come next time?" Xia Yan panted slightly, pushing Lu Zhouyu away.

"Next week, come to scout the scene with the people in the group." Lu Zhouyu pulled him out of the woods.

"Ah? Didn't you come to scout this time?"

I don't know if it was Xia Yan's illusion, but the sky was clearer than before they entered the woods, with a few bright golden lights piercing through the clouds, and Lu Zhouyu's pace was a little fast, as if he was worried that he would not be able to catch up with the boat.

Because of this, his voice sounds mixed with wind.

"Not really," he said, "this time I'm here to date my boyfriend."
