aren't we rivals

It was Song Chen who proposed Yu Tingzhi's meeting with Song Chen at the beginning, after Yu Tingzhi casually admitted that his sexual orientation might be male.

At the end of the graduation exhibition, She Shan and Yu Tingzhi, who became friends because of the photos, have become friends. One day, She Shan joked casually: "There are so many beauties chasing you, but you are not moved. You don't like men, do you?"

Yu Tingzhi nodded "Yes" and admitted his sexual orientation, which made both She Shan and Song Chen's jaw drop.

He didn't say it was because of the group of photos taken by She Shan, but it was true that after that, he would think of Meng Chi in that group of photos at night, and thus develop some desires.

There are usually two ways to solve it, hand masturbation and hand painting. This is a secret that no one knows except himself.

Song Chen and Yu Ting are good friends, naturally they have seen those paintings, and also saw Yu Tingzhi staring at those paintings with a rare concentration in his eyes, which is only when he has a strong desire to create eyes.Even so, Song Chen didn't think too much about it, he only regarded it as his seriousness in painting.

Afterwards, Song Chen expressed his heart to Yu Tingzhi, and Yu Tingzhi was a little astonished at first, but as they got along, they shared the same interests and understood each other, and they naturally came together and spent a peaceful love time. After that, the development was different, and they separated naturally.

It was also brought up by Song Chen, saying that perhaps it would be better for them to be friends again, Yu Tingzhi respected his opinion and wished him a bright future.

They really became friends again, but after not seeing each other for many years, they became a little estranged, not as close as before.

In these years of separation, Song Chen didn't know if Yu Tingzhi would occasionally miss his college days, he only knew that he missed them very much, the days when he could get along with Yu Tingzhi day and night at that time, and the peaceful and ordinary life in that year. Love time, so he came back after his studies and wanted to try again.

Before returning to China, Song Chen had already seen the photos She Shan had posted on Moments. He recognized that the painting on Meng Chi's body was from Yu Tingzhi's hand. He also vaguely felt that Meng Chi looked familiar. When he asked, She Shan said This is the same model used in the group of "Wild Spring" he shot back then.

Meng Chi suddenly appeared, and he was familiar with Yu Tingzhi, Song Chen didn't find it strange, after all, because of She Shan's development, they had an intersection.But when he saw the relaxed smile on Yu Tingzhi's face when he and Meng Chi were getting along, and only Meng Chi's expression in his eyes, he suddenly remembered the paintings that Yu Tingzhi had painted, and those paintings contained desire.

Now, Yu Tingzhi's words "There is no problem" can be regarded as completely cutting off his thoughts.

He twitched the corners of his mouth, showing an expression that he didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and said, "That's good."

Having said everything that should be said, Yu Tingzhi knew that Song Chen understood what he meant, so he didn't say anything else, and walked the last part of the road in silence.

When he reached the gate of Jianghong Villa, Yu Tingzhi stopped, turned his head and said to Song Chen under the street lamp, "Song Chen, keep going."

Song Chen stared at him blankly for a moment, then smiled and said, "Okay."

Jiang Hong approached Meng Chi for the tea ceremony.

The tea ceremony first originated in the Xia Dynasty. After thousands of years of inheritance and evolution, it has not only changed from worshiping gods to ancestors, but also from family tea ceremony to tea ceremony activities of the whole society.The objects of sacrifice are not only the founders of their respective families, but also ancestors who have made outstanding contributions to tea culture.

One of the processes of tea ceremony, "sacrificing tea", requires the descendants of these ancestors to offer tea and sacrifice tea. Usually, immediate relatives participate, and if they don't have it, they can find it from next of kin.

Jiang Hong came to Meng Chi because a descendant of the Chen family who participated in the tea ceremony suddenly went to the hospital with appendicitis, and there was no one to replace him, so Jiang Hong thought of Meng Chi.

The ancestors of the Chen family who were sacrificed were Master Meng Chi's master, so Meng Chi could barely be regarded as a descendant of the Chen family.

Although Meng Chi had participated in the tea festival, he watched the excitement every year. Only the year when he first learned how to learn tea, he watched his master take part in it seriously. Now it was his turn, and he was so nervous that he didn't sleep much all night.

After all, participating in the tea ceremony will not only be watched by tens of thousands of people, but also related to the face of the master.Meng Chi couldn't afford to lose this man.

Fortunately, Meng Chi has excellent professional quality, played steadily on the court, and ended the process perfectly.

It was already noon when the tea ceremony ended, and Meng Chi was sweating a little when he stepped down from the altar.

"It's been hard work." After Meng Chi came down, the elders of Chen's family quickly poured a cup of tea for him and handed it to him, smiling again and again, "Jiang Hong is right, the apprentices taught by Mr. Yang are professionals."

"No, no, you appreciate it." Meng Chi leaned slightly, took a sip from the tea bowl.

The elders of Chen's parents nodded: "I have to work hard on you this afternoon."

According to the tradition of the tea festival, after the ritual ceremony at Tianfu Temple in the morning, the ancient tea trees will be worshiped in the mountains in the afternoon, praying for the evergreen tea trees.

In the morning, Meng Chi followed Jiang Hong out, not with Yu Tingzhi, but received Yu Tingzhi's WeChat message before going on stage, knowing that they were coming.

The square of Tianfu Temple was almost crowded with people. Although Chen Yan told him his approximate location, Meng Chi couldn't see where they were. He had to go up the mountain after lunch, so he didn't look for them.

Not long after he left the stage, Yu Tingzhi called him. When Meng Chi connected, he was still breathing heavily.

"Tired?" Yu Tingzhi asked him.

"It's okay," Meng Chi said, "It's just that I was a little nervous when I went up."

Yu Tingzhi laughed: "Really? I didn't see it."

"You're not too close, can you see clearly?" Meng Chi raised his eyebrows and glanced in his direction, only seeing the crowded crowd, and couldn't see Yu Tingzhi's specific location at all.

"Yeah." Yu Tingzhi said, "Chen Yan took a video in front, and he sent it to me."

Today Meng Chi is wearing a black Chinese tunic suit, his forehead hair is brushed back, revealing his entire face, when he has no expression, he looks a little solemn, and when making tea, his gestures and gestures are even more solemn, which is different from usual. But just as compelling.

Meng Chi: "..."

Is Chen Yan too boring?

"Is he about to fail his art history course, so he pleases you?" Meng Chi complained.

Yu Tingzhi smiled: "Maybe, it depends on his performance."

Meng Chi smiled, and after chatting casually for a few more words, he said that he would look for him when he was done with work, then hung up the phone.

While eating, Meng Chi received a video from Yu Tingzhi. Chen Yan didn't capture it very clearly, but he could still see that he was sitting at the tea table in the video, calm and dignified.

Meng Chi nodded quite complacently, and when he was about to turn off the video, he heard the sound of arguing in the voice-over of the video.

One is Chen Yan's voice, and the other is an unfamiliar male voice.Probably the content is that a strange male voice said dissatisfiedly: "What's so good about this?" Then Chen Yan said: "I can shoot whoever I like, you don't care about me."

"Who cares about you, stay away from me."

"I'm not. There are many people here. You'd better stay close to me. Don't ask me to pick you up again after you can't find your way back."

"Who cares that you come to pick me up."

"Yo? It's not rare, then don't hold my hand."

At the end of the quarrel, Meng Chi raised his eyebrows, inexplicably feeling that this flirting conversation was a little ambiguous.

After Meng Chi finished the tea ceremony and went down the mountain, it was almost dark. Yu Tingzhi, Song Chen, Song Min, and some students were at the flower boat rental office by the Xitang Lake, waiting to take a flower boat to the center of the lake to see fireworks.

When Meng Chi rushed to the edge of Xitang Lake, only Yu Tingzhi was still standing under the willow tree on the shore.

"Why are you alone?" Meng Chi ran over.

"I'm going to watch the fireworks by boat." Yu Tingzhi raised his chin towards the flower boat by the lake.

Meng Chi glanced sideways, and then saw Chen Yan standing at the bow of the boat calling his name and waving, beside him was a long-haired... boy.

If he hadn't heard him say to Chen Yan in a familiar voice, "Are you afraid that others will not know that you have a loud voice?" At first glance, Meng Chi would have thought he was a girl.

From the voice, Meng Chi guessed that this was the boy who flirted with Chen Yan in the morning.

Besides him and Chen Yan, Song Chen, Song Min, and several female students were on board.

"Why don't you take the boat?" Meng Chi looked away, looked at Yu Tingzhi, and asked with a smile, "Are you waiting for me?"

Yu Tingzhi nodded: "Yes."

Meng Chi raised his eyebrows at Yu Tingzhi: "For the sake of you waiting for me, I'll take you somewhere."

"Where are you going?" Yu Tingzhi asked.

"You'll know when you get there." Meng Chi reached out and took his arm, leading him to walk in the opposite direction, crossing an arched bridge over Xitang Lake, and the two of them walked to the parking lot beside Xitang Lake.

Meng Chi stood on the shore and looked into the lake for a while, then made a phone call.While communicating with the person on the phone, he saw that the trunk of a car was open, so he walked over and closed it conveniently.

"Wait a while." Meng Chi finished communicating with the person on the phone, hung up the phone, and said to Yu Tingzhi.

Yu Tingzhi nodded, didn't ask what he was waiting for, just waited here quietly with him.

Two minutes later, Meng Chi failed to wait for the boat to arrive, but a middle-aged man carrying a large box of fireworks arrived. The middle-aged man walked to the trunk that Meng Chi had just closed, with a depressed expression on his face: "I Remember I left the trunk open?"

Seeing that the box on his back was crumbling, Meng Chi hurried to help, but as soon as he got closer, he heard the middle-aged man mutter.

The corner of Meng Chi's mouth twitched, and he helped him stabilize the cardboard box that almost fell to the ground.

"Do you need help?"

Hearing Meng Chi's voice, the man hurriedly turned around and said "Thank you".

Yu Tingzhi also came over and opened the trunk for him.

Meng Chi helped the man put the two large boxes of fireworks into the trunk. The man clapped his hands and thanked him with a smile: "Brother, thank you."

Meng Chi smiled: "It's okay, it's a matter of little effort."

The middle-aged man said "thank you" again: "I don't know who closed the trunk for me. If I hadn't met you two, I would have been broken just now."

"..."

The corner of Meng Chi's mouth twitched, inexplicably feeling that this "thank you" deserved it.

Yu Tingzhi already turned his head away from the corner of his eye, as if trying to hold back his smile, but he couldn't.

In order to express his gratitude, the middle-aged man also gave them a handful of fireworks sticks for them to play casually.

When the middle-aged man drove away from here, Meng Chi also waited for his boat.The cruise ships on Xitang Lake are all imitated awning boats, which are antique and have a few unique lanterns, probably because this is the hometown of green tea, and there are tea tables and tea sets in the boat.

It was a teenage boy who drove the small pleasure boat. He simply told Meng Chi how to operate the boat, and then handed the boat over to Meng Chi.

After boarding the boat, Yu Tingzhi still had a smile on his face, and Meng Chi said helplessly, "Teacher Yu, is it so funny?"

"No, I just think you're a little cute." Yu Tingzhi said.

"This is the second time you've called me cute," Meng Chi curled his lips, "How can I be cute?"

Yu Tingzhi raised his eyebrows: "You don't like me calling you cute?"

Meng Chi said: "There is a saying that if you can't find another adjective to compliment a person, you will probably use 'cute'."

Yu Tingzhi laughed, and then said: "Roland Barthes wrote in "Lovers' Whispers", he couldn't tell what his admiration for his lover was, so he would use the word 'cute' to describe it."

Probably because of the two straightforward words "lover" and "admiration" that appeared in this sentence, the expression on Meng Chi's face froze for a moment, and then became serious.

"He also said that the most appropriate translation of 'cute' should be l'ipse in Latin, which means 'it is him, it is indeed him'." Yu Tingzhi's eyes on Meng Chi also became focused, and he paused Ton, he continued, "That's what I mean by cute."

The two looked at each other silently, and the relaxed and humorous atmosphere suddenly became quiet and ambiguous, and the quiet feelings were constantly fermenting.

After a while, Meng Chi asked him, "Do you admire me?"

Yu Tingzhi smiled: "Do you still need to ask?"

The corners of Meng Chi's mouth slightly raised with a smile, and he said, "Well, I want to hear it from you."

"Yes," Yu Tingzhi nodded with a smile, his eyes were calm and affectionate, "I admire you from the first sight."

The corners of Meng Chi's mouth raised uncontrollably, joy appeared in the corners of his eyes and brows, and he pondered for a few seconds before he said, "I see."

"Huh?" Yu Tingzhi raised his eyebrows, "And then?"

Meng Chi didn't speak, just raised his eyelids and glanced at him, then walked to the tea table and sat down, quietly using the tea set on the table to start making tea.

Set the tea, brew it, wait for a while, then pour the tea in the teapot into the fair cup, and then pour it into the small tea cup. He moves skillfully and methodically, but Yu Tingzhi inexplicably sees a trace of excitement.

It wasn't until Meng Chi brought up the cup of clear and fragrant tea and handed it to Yu Tingzhi that he regained his composure.

Yu Tingzhi understood his intention almost instantly, he stretched out his hand to accept the silent confession, tasted the aroma of tea in his mouth, and it was hot in his heart.

Meng Chi laughed, and countless lights fell in his eyes, shining like a river of stars. He held Yu Tingzhi's other hand on the table and said, "Teacher Yu, after drinking my tea, can you It's mine."

Yu Tingzhi smiled back: "Now, you can take me back."

Meng Chi looked at his eyes brightly illuminated by the light, and his heart felt like bubbling soda, boiling and restless.

The noisy fireworks explosion in the distance was not as strong as his heartbeat at this moment.

Yu Tingzhi stared at him deeply, then pulled him in front of him, lowered his head and kissed his lips.

Blossoming fireworks shot straight into the sky and exploded with a bang. While the gorgeous fireworks lit up the night sky, they also displayed brilliantly.Meng Chi hugged Yu Tingzhi back and kissed him.

Lovers make a promise to each other with tea for a lifetime, and they will die together.
