Tropical Highway

The Potala Palace stands in the center of the city, but it is backed by the vast mountain scenery. At noon, the golden light shone, shining into the shadows of every jagged rock, and the colors of black, white and gray criss-crossed.In the face of nature, even majestic buildings are eclipsed for a moment.

There is a wide road in front of the square outside Syracuse. April is not the peak season, and there are still many tour guides leading the tour.Without exception, they brought their tourists here, and talked freely, introducing that a certain angle can overlap with the back of 50 yuan, which is the best viewing spot, so all the tourists gather together, as if they were originally together.

Zhai Lan opened her arms, hid behind the crowd and secretly hugged Sunshine.

This place seems to be suitable for all exaggerated actions, and no matter what is done-the white crane spreads its wings, the golden rooster stands alone, kicks and raises its hands, even crawls-it will not appear strange.Occasionally, some locals came to see it, and those clear eyes were full of tolerance.

But Zhai Lan ignored that there was You Zhen in front of him.

"By the way, Zhai..."

He suddenly turned his head, facing the picture of Zhai Lan embracing the air with straight eyebrows.

They didn't expect their eyes to meet suddenly, and the two were silent for a moment, You Zhen obviously wanted to laugh but he didn't say anything out of concern for the young man's face, Zhai Lan pretended nothing happened, and put his hands in his pockets.

"What?" Zhai Lan asked seriously.

You Zhen wanted to laugh even more, he wiped the tip of his nose and said, "That's right, you didn't feel uncomfortable when you climbed the long slope today?"

Zhai Lan shook her head: "No, why?"

"I thought of a place, we can go tomorrow if we are physically fit." Seeing the childishness and curiosity of a teenager, You Zhen said slowly, "Eat now?"

"Ah, if you don't tell me, I will definitely lose sleep tonight."

"Then give it a try." You Zhen said, "I don't believe you can still lose sleep after walking more than 2 steps today."

The sun was shining, Zhai Lan's eyes couldn't be opened a little bit, and his facial features were almost glued together, which made You Zhen even more amusing to tease him.He didn't say a word, as if he didn't see Zhai Lan's dissatisfaction, he lowered his head and took out a box from his bag and threw it to him.

Zhai Lan opened it, a pair of sunglasses.

"Put it on, the sun on the plateau is very harmful to the eyes." After finishing speaking, You Zhen replied calmly before he asked "What about you", "I have another pair."

Tourists who didn't bring anything lost the qualification to pick and choose, Zhai Lan pouted, opened the box and put the sunglasses on the bridge of his nose.The size was a bit bigger than expected, and the sunglasses blocked almost half of his face, only revealing a little reddened skin. Zhai Lan didn't care at all, looked left and right, ready to adapt to the new equipment.

It was inconvenient to hold the box in his hand, and it was not appropriate to return it to You Zhen, so he simply took off his schoolbag and prepared to throw it in.When Zhai Lan lowered his head when unzipping the zipper, the sunglasses immediately slipped off the bridge of his nose uncontrollably due to the force of gravity.

Zhai Lan quickly caught it and put it on again.

He learned his lesson this time, raised his head slightly and then pressed the temples with both hands, trying to adjust the tightness to fit the head circumference but failed, then put it down again, as if the almost accident just now was an illusion.

Witnessing his smooth movements, You Zhen thought silently: "Your face is so small."

After Zhai Lan packed up and consciously walked ahead with his sunglasses on, You Zhen was taken aback for a moment, and when he caught up with him, he couldn't help laughing, and said in his heart: "The stinky kid didn't even need to say 'thank you' this time?"

So it just stopped in place.

The young man walked out with his head held high, suddenly stopped, and turned his head.

"Where are you going to eat?"

After hearing this straightforward question, You Zhen couldn't bear it anymore, strode over and slapped Zhai Lan on the back of the head with a big stride, grabbed the brim of the baseball cap and pressed it forward.

His vision narrowed suddenly, he lost his center of gravity and fell forward, Zhai Lan said "ah": "You Zhen!"

"Now you know how to call me?" You Zhen's voice was close to his ears, and he rushed to the ground with his slanted arc, but his arms were across Zhai Lan's chest to help him stand still, "What was your attitude just now? It's rude !"

"……I was wrong."

The arm didn't let go of him, it circled half a circle, and moved from his chest to his back shoulder.You Zhen hugged Zhai Lan naturally, putting his weight on his shoulders, and pressed down as if punishing him on purpose, but Zhai Lan couldn't stand up, so he stretched out his hand to push him, and You Zhen laughed out loud, and stood up straight again , leading him forward.

It's just that the shoulders held by him seemed to be on fire in the sun. The sun compressed the shadow, and the two dark balls were stepped on the soles of the feet. At first glance, it looked like a bunch of chunky candied haws.

The brown filter of the sunglasses is covered in front of the eyes, the long street is no longer dazzling, and the color of the snow-capped mountains becomes gentle.

But Zhai Lan was still floating on the soles of his feet, and the two shadows led him forward, he stumbled, intentionally or unintentionally, his focus fell on You Zhen's side.The shoulder blades touched You Zhen's chest, and the shadows overlapped occasionally, almost turning into a weird spherical shape, and then quickly separated, so You Zhen's heartbeat also became distant and near.

Zhai Lan turned his head, and You Zhen put his right hand on him, and there were slightly flat calluses on his fingertips left by over-plucking the strings.

He saw a small scar on You Zhen's wrist, which may also be a birthmark.

Crescent-shaped, suddenly white.

The "delicious food" that You Zhen said is near Barkhor Street.

I passed this intersection last night. At that time, Zhai Lan only saw the last residual heat under the street lamps, facing the daytime, pedestrians, talking loudly and occasionally honking the horn, and couldn't help being pushed into the crowd.

The highly saturated color block is completely separated from the blue sky and the night, and the sunlight is almost transparent.

You Zhen took the mobile phone to navigate, turned left and right as prompted by the female voice, went upstairs, and stopped outside the glass door of a simple restaurant.The group of lights above the head has the decoration style of ten years ago. It is magnificent and bright. You Zhen raised his head and looked down several times as if confirming it, and finally said, "Here we are, this is it."

The signboard is in Chinese, Tibetan and English, and the last line reads "LHASANAMASTERESTAURANT".Colorful fonts on a black background, and a portrait of a girl with folded hands on the glass door, welcoming visitors from all over the world.

The decoration is more distinctive, each small square on the ceiling is a rainbow of colors, and the combination is dazzling.The wooden furniture and brown cushions are all in warm tones, and there are gilt stickers on the brown-red walls. When you look at the three pictures together, it seems to be the meaning of Buddha's hand holding a lotus.In addition, the cloth stickers, tie-dye and colorful tablecloths with strong exotic atmosphere are all bright and warm.

As soon as you step in, it's like traveling to a strange and mysterious world, and you can't help but be attracted by the aroma of food.

Zhai Lan looked around with great interest, it was past meal time but there were still many people in the restaurant.They got a seat by the window, You Zhen was opposite, and there was even a Buddhist niche on the wall behind it.

Playing with the wooden handle of the spoon, Zhai Lan glanced at the green trees outside the window, and asked You Zhen, "How did you find this place?"

"Recommended by a friend," he said simply.

Maybe after getting along with her, she became more courageous, but Zhai Lan actually asked, "Is it your girlfriend?"

He didn't know that the stupid joke on the train made You Zhen unhappy, he only vaguely heard them bring up such topics, and thought You Zhen would avoid answering, but the other party didn't seem so shy about being asked These.

"No." He lowered his head to study the menu, "It's just... You have seen our performance, so you should have an impression."

"Ok?"

You Zhen ticked off the menu, and couldn't hide a smile from the corner of his mouth: "I don't remember? I'm a music fan."

"I didn't say it from the beginning to the end, okay, it's you..." Zhai Lan recalled that night, and he did have a little impression, but he was not sure, "Hey, the sister who played the keyboard?"

"It really is a music fan!"

Zhai Lan: "...well, well, I am."

"Do you want to eat curry?" Seeing the other party nodding in confusion, You Zhen handed the menu to the waiting waiter, and when the person left, he explained slowly, "That's 'synthesizer', she is in charge of bass and synthesizer in the band—— A synthesizer looks a bit like a keyboard, and it will be easy to understand if I have a chance to show you the real thing.”

"Okay!" Speaking of the band, Zhai Lan thought about it and asked him, "How long have you...'Green Wind' been together?"

"There will always be five or six years, but now everyone has a serious job to be busy with, music, a side job, just have fun." You Zhen took out his mobile phone and showed Zhai Lan a photo, "Hey, this is all now member."

Zhai Lan recognized Zone's stage in the photo at a glance. Compared with the bright colors during the performance, only an incandescent lamp was turned on.

The wooden floor, speakers, and wires are placed in parallel, which is the handwriting of an obsessive-compulsive disorder.

The man holding a cymbal at the front was a burly man with muscular arms like a fitness trainer, but he smiled with big white teeth and was amiable.You Zhen is on the left, with the guitar straddling behind him with the head down, smoking a cigarette, and talking with another guitarist beside him, neither of them paying attention to the camera.

And there was a woman standing a little behind, Zhai Lan looked at her, and couldn't move his eyes away immediately.

There is no other reason, the woman's hair is really special - jet-black and shiny, full of exotic braids, long to the waist and tied into a big bunch, matching her wheat-colored skin, deep eyes and bright smile...

"Tibetan?" Zhai Lan asked.

"Well, Baima Yangjin, the unpaid sponsor of this travel guide."

As soon as the words fell, the waiter brought the big tray and served the food.

The Tibetan female musician is obviously not as attractive as the forearm-long scone. The curry is thick and steaming, and the spicy smell immediately makes saliva secrete.An old-fashioned thermos bottle that was only 1/2 of the normal size was also placed on the corner of the table, and it was smashed down with a heavy weight, with a "bang".

Seeing that Zhai Lan's gaze moved with the dishes, and his eyeballs almost fell into the plate, You Zhen put away his phone and smiled: "Eat quickly, there will be opportunities to talk in the future."

Both vision and smell are occupied, but the auditory nerves still capture the key information from You Zhen's words-the cause and effect of the band is not the end, let's come to an end for now.

"In the future?" Zhai Lan paused when he was about to move his chopsticks.

You Zhen nodded while resting his chin with one hand, his movements were careless.

Through the bright glass windows, the fountain splashes rainbow colors when it refracts the sunlight, which seems to suddenly appear in You Zhen's eyes.
