Tropical Highway

I really want to kiss Zhai Lan.

When this thought appeared, it seemed as if he had fallen into a vacuum for two seconds, and You Zhen subconsciously took half a step back.

The pink and white of the peach blossoms flashed before his eyes, but he didn't see Zhai Lan's depression in a flash.You Zhen understood at that moment, he suddenly filled in the blank that Zhai Lan didn't say, and then he was flustered.

He thought that the sentence that Zhai Lan blurted out recklessly should be "I want you".

Almost a confession.

Zhai Lan, who was several years younger than him and only half a college student, was braver than him.He has no worries about food and clothing, and has not been beaten by society since graduation. Friends say that he has not improved except for his age, and there is nothing wrong with it to some extent.You Zhen is not autistic or shy, but has a cleanliness obsession with relationships.

His two short heartbeats did not last for more than three days, they came and went faster, and he didn't even notice the unusual acceleration of his heart rate, and that bit of emotion dissipated with a gust of wind and rain.

You Zhen is worried that his favor will never last long.

"Want to kiss Zhai Lan" was the first impulse after a few years, but he didn't dare to express it until he recognized the longing in his heart.He felt that he was not as good as Zhai Lan imagined, or that they had known each other for too short a time.

Don't be impulsive under passion, let alone do things that have no results rashly.

But because of Zhai Lan's suggestion, he did walk with the same hands and feet, and every step he took became lighter, as if he didn't pay attention, the voice in his head would continue to chatter until he was so irritated. none--

But how much reason does it take to like someone just right?

You really haven't counted.

So he had no choice but to turn red in his ears, pretending that nothing happened, and touched the flower branch blocking his sight, swallowing the sudden delusion into his stomach, his mouth was dry, but he didn't ask any more questions.

"Let's go?" Zhai Lan said softly.

Under the sun, half of his side face was reddened with an innocent expression.

You Zhen replied "Go", Zhai Lan nodded, and strode up the mountain.He didn't care about the momentary pause, as if the ambiguity just now was just a temptation for Zhai Lan.

If the temptation failed, he returned to the distance of his friends safely, without entanglement in anything, even the sentence "I like boys" that was still in a mess not long ago could not shake Zhai Lan.

It's not that he doesn't care about You Zhen's reaction at all.

It's just that he likes You Zhen, so he doesn't need anyone's approval.

Passing through the Taohuagou and going up the hillside, the pink and white flowers are all connected together, and the snow mountain is still majestic.As far as the eye can see, except for the Nanga Bawa peaks in the distance, the mountains are dark green, so dark that they are washed by the water, and occasionally there will be a little light flashing, which is as beautiful as an illusion.

Zhai Lan walked in front, and the too close distance would allow him to properly adjust to the moment of sadness just now.

Of course there was grievance, and there was also unhappiness. It was the first time he faced the ambiguity directly, and before he could experience the tacit happiness, he was immediately covered by sadness, as if everything had disappeared and was empty.

He didn't know the reason why You Zhen hesitated for a few seconds, but he quickly told himself: It's no big deal

The person you like may not necessarily like you, and elementary school students now understand it.Although it's one thing to understand, it's another thing to dig into a dead end, Zhai Lan thought, as long as he doesn't let You Zhen go, who can say for sure in the future?

The footsteps behind him were not so heavy, but they always followed Zhai Lan like a shadow.

Zhai Lan turned her head, and from the corner of her eye, she caught a glimpse of You Zhen casually picking up a branch of peach blossom and playing with it.

"You Zhen." He called his name, and the peach blossom branch trembled as if being kissed by the wind.

It was a bit funny, Zhai Lan turned a corner by saying "Want to see the snow-capped mountains or the desert", deliberately wanting to avenge the teasing of the previous few trips: "...I might like someone."

The topic that was interrupted by "I like boys" was picked up at this time, the time interval was extremely long, and it was just a memory of the previous second in a trance.

It should be the one who is more mature, more stable, and more moody, but when You Zhen heard his soft tone, a tingling went from his spine to his brain, and he almost lost his language ability.The hand in the coat pocket tightened, and the tip of the tongue counted all the inner sides of the lower row of teeth, Yu really couldn't hold back his smile.

That looks so uncool.

And he suddenly realized that no matter how old he is, no matter whether he has experienced an unforgettable love or not, he will quickly secrete happy dopamine again because of "being liked"?

But Zhai Lan followed up and said, "But I'm not sure."

You Zhen: "Ah."

The hillside was sloping, Zhai Lan stood a little higher, against the light, You Zhen couldn't figure out his expression.

Zhai Lan's voice was so innocent: "You are older than me, you should have been in a relationship before, right?" Before he could answer, Zhai Lan asked nervously, "Can you tell me what it feels like to 'like'?"

So the past became a mess, and You Zhen couldn't remember anything at this moment.

"I like it, it's just..." He moved his throat with difficulty, the fragrance of the flower branch in his hand disturbed his thoughts, You Zhen raised his head and stared at Zhai Lan, "I understand?"

"Ah."

"It's just...a butterfly flying out of my heart." He used a very clichéd metaphor, couldn't help laughing, and was so sad that he seemed to be holding a handful of tears, "It may leave in a second, or it may stay with you forever. This The process will be tortured over and over again, but you can actually be ... happy because you are tortured by it."

Zhai Lan was stunned, and he showed a cat-like expression again, looking at You Zhen attentively and suspiciously.

When Youzhen's eyelashes are lowered, shadows cover the lower eyelid like imaginary feathers, and there is a small crease at the end of the left single eyelid, which hides a small light brown mole.

Perhaps only the clear sky and clear sunshine in Tibet can make Zhai Lan discover this almost invisible flaw.

"Haven't you talked about it?" Zhai Lan asked amusedly.

You Zhen blinked in confusion: "If you say no, then you have talked about it; but if you want to say how much you like the other party during the talk, then no. At that time... it was the other party who confessed, and then I agreed to go out for dinner together first. In the process, I found out that I didn't really like him, so I just said not to continue—cruel, right?"

Zhai Lan replaced himself, with an indescribable expression: "A little bit."

"The kind of 'torture' is just in my imagination, I haven't experienced it yet." You Zhen was a little embarrassed when he said this, he scratched the hair on his forehead indiscriminately, "Maybe because I don't care too much."

"Do you care about falling in love?"

"I've always felt like it wasn't a necessity, and I'm doing just fine without it."

Zhai Lan let out a long breath, unlike a sigh, it simply made him feel relieved for a while.He vaguely understands You Zhen's thoughts, and to a certain extent, this is also a concept that many people agree with now - there is no need for love, if you find it is inappropriate and you don't like it, you will separate immediately, there is absolutely no procrastination, although occasionally it will hurt someone.

Rather than saying "no need", it is probably closer to not meeting the person who wants to be tired of being together 24 hours a day.

There is no right or wrong view of feelings, and Zhai Lan has no intention of criticizing anything, but he feels that he finally has a little disagreement with You Zhen, who has always been in perfect harmony in this regard.

"But I think the feeling you said is more like a unilateral consideration." Zhai Lan organized his words, and he was cautious and soft when facing some unfamiliar topics, "For example, torture or happiness are all your current thoughts. "

You Zhen looked at him quietly: "Well, I admit that this is not appropriate."

"It's not appropriate, everyone will have similar thoughts, it's normal."

His sudden maturity is separated from his aura of getting up, and his fragile and self-willed appearance during altitude sickness. You Zhen seems to have discovered a new world, and is curiously waiting for what Zhai Lan will say next.

The young man frowned, looked at the snow-capped mountains in the distance, and continued after a while: "I would think, if I like someone, if my liking...can bring him some satisfaction, something deeper, such as happiness—but happiness is too much. Complicated—"

"Um……"

"Then 'happy', it's enough to bring him such emotions." Zhai Lan couldn't help smiling, the corners of his eyes were peach-colored, "If you like someone, you don't have to expect too much."

That's why I tell him every time, "I hope you are happy today."

——I hope you can be happier because of me today.

With something blocking his throat, You Zhen answered silently in his heart, pretending to be affectionate:

I am very happy now.

But Zhai Lan, is this what you want?

The hillside was winding, You Zhen walked ahead this time, Zhai Lan hurriedly followed.

It was almost seven o'clock, and they had wasted a lot of time in this strange mountain forest unknowingly.Zhai Lan felt that time flew by, he didn't feel procrastinated at all, every breath was smooth.

The viewing platform was mentioned by Li Feimu, and you will know you have arrived when you see a relatively wide flat land.

There are two best places to watch Namjagbarwa in Renqing Village. The Sejila Pass is closer to the snow mountain, but it needs to drive a section of mountain road to get there.This ordinary viewing platform is above Taohuagou. It is purely on foot. Villagers will pass by when they go to the mountain to pick matsutake. The spread is not wide, so it is inaccessible.

Taohuagou has become the skirt of the Yarlung Zangbo River. The snow-capped mountains break through the sky like a sharp dagger, and the flowing water rushes out of the Grand Canyon.

The sun gradually moved westward, and the hot light began to cool down, but the colors became more and more intense with time.

"No cloud!" Zhai Lan was suddenly excited, "You Zhen! We can see today—"

In order to confirm his words, the last clouds were suddenly dispersed by the golden light, and the top of the snow-capped mountain, as if the fingers of a god brushed lightly, brightened instantly, and the orange light spread wantonly, pouring down like water——

The sunset glow of thousands of miles is not as good as this piece of golden mountain wall.

Namjagbarwa stands under the blue sky, unchanged for thousands of years, the snow seems to have not melted for a long time, there is a faint purple light in the gap, and then it is quickly engulfed in the continuous and tortuous gold.

The boundary line between light and dark is constantly changing, the golden black is sinking westward, the sun is shining on the peak of Jinshan, and the stars have quietly restrained all their sharpness.

The snow is blown by the wind like boiling fog.

"Is that an avalanche?" You Zhen said blankly, he raised his hand to show Zhai Lan, but he couldn't find the direction soon.

Zhai Lan didn't respond, and only said "ah" after a while.

So beautiful.

How many people have seen it since ancient times?

The sun, moon, stars, mountains, rivers and canyons have existed for hundreds of millions of years, and this moment and this place are but the tiniest moment.But one day in April, in Nanga Bawa, there was an avalanche in the magnificent and quiet sunset, only he and You Zhen knew about it.

No wonder some people believe fictional lies.

"You Zhen." Zhai Lan watched the sunset over the mountains and murmured, "You will be happy for a whole year."

The author says:

Hey, I didn't see Rizhao Jinshan when I went, but I saw the sunrise, all hidden behind the mountain, a layer of pink soft light, beautiful burst!
