Tropical Highway

Who is the "mysterious friend" that Zhai Lan was talking about, You Zhen didn't ask much, he nodded knowingly, and said in his heart: Sure enough, Zhai Lan is not as closed as he was when he first met, and making friends normally is a sign of improvement.

He has lost a family member, and he knows that Zhai Lan has no other medicine to overcome this shadow, only time and a growing heart.

After dinner, we worked together to help Tenzin clean up the firepit and kitchen. It was already late at night.

Because he will leave Nyingchi the next day, Tenzin has never left his hometown and there are many things that need to be prepared in advance, including some medicines. Zhai Lan and Li Feimu are busy until the end.After returning to the homestay, Zhai Lan was exhausted. After washing early, she got into bed and covered her head with the quilt without saying anything.

The parting is approaching, but he doesn't want to let You Zhen see a bit of reluctance.

Hearing that there was no movement outside, You Zhen deliberately packed the suitcase lightly.Walking to the bed, ready to rest, his eyes fell on the opposite bed.Zhai Lan curled up, with half of her face pressed against the pillow, falling asleep amidst the bombardment of complex emotions.

Standing on the tail of a 19-year-old boy, youthfulness and stability are incomparably contradictory.

But no one can deny that this still immature face is covered with a shadow, and it can still make people throb at any time.

Late at night in Lhasa, Zhai Lan's smile reflected in the candlelight, the feeling of being gently patted on the heart by a palm hit You Zhen again without warning.

Both feet seemed to be stuck in a swamp, and when You Zhen came back to his senses, he had already squatted down, with his hands on his knees, watching Zhai Lan carefully.The curtain opened two fingers wide, starlight shone, Zhai Lan was shrouded in a soft silver cocoon.

Among the peach blossoms flying, the avalanche and the afterglow of the sunset, he has an unfinished kiss that he did not give to Zhai Lan.

He didn't know if Zhai Lan wanted it or not.

In the end, his fingers brushed across Zhai Lan's eyelashes with a distance of a few centimeters, bringing up a small breeze. You Zhen smiled, seeing that Zhai Lan seemed to be finally alarmed, and murmured something impatiently before turning over , pointing the back of his head at him like a tantrum.The hair was extremely messy from sleeping, and a few hairs were blown out, and You Zhen smoothed them out.

He lay back on the bed, but the sleepiness was gone.

Unable to stop looking at Zhai Lan, You Zhen simply turned his back to him and tried hard not to think about it, taking out his phone and swiping the screen aimlessly.

In the chat software, Jiang Fang and Mr. Song are arguing in the group of the band, but You Zhen does not join in; in the shopping software, almost everything he buys is signed for, but he has forgotten why he bought it...

His mother asked how he was doing, and he replied that it was fine;

Sister Wei Si from Zone asked when he would go back to Chengdu for a drink, and he said that he would definitely do it next time;

There were two tenants who secretly wanted him to pay the property management fee for the second year, but he refused without thinking.

Then it's gone.

The night was too quiet, and You Zhen found that he wanted to see someone's thoughts the most.Taking a deep breath, You Zhen opened the music software that he hadn't paid attention to for several days, and found an unread little red dot reminder as expected.

The same long chatter as usual, the small period starts with "Hello" and ends with "I hope you are happy".

You Zhen glanced at it and smiled relaxedly.

But after he saw the content clearly, his smile gradually faded.His back suddenly became hot, and a burst of numbness quickly climbed from his spine to the back of his neck. The feeling of being stuck in the mud made him unable to extricate himself. He wanted to sit up, but his throat was dry and he couldn't speak for a while. Even his hands and feet seemed to be bound. no.

"Someone said today that there will always be a star that will find me."

"But I think you will be able to understand."

Although the description is vague, You Zhen knows who the other party is talking about.

He didn't believe that at the same time, in the same situation, the same conversation would happen between the other two.

L, small period, Zhai Lan.

You Zhen wanted to laugh and then sighed helplessly, he is too slow, why is he so stupid.

Isn't Zhai Lan's "blue" just "L"?

From the moment he was entrusted by Yang Jin to go to Tibet, he might have been destined to meet Zhai Lan on the same train. Even if he missed it at that time and did not have bunk beds, they would definitely meet in Nyingchi.

At that time, Zhai Lan was "Ms. Li's younger brother" and he was "Yang Jin's friend".

Even if none of this happens, sooner or later, they will meet because they are in the same city.He invited Xiaoquan to come to his shop, and by then he might have a "face-to-face" with Zhai Lan on a bright summer day, and he would have a good chat, playing a song for Zhai Lan, even if it wasn't "Hotel California" ".

Their lives intersected long ago without each other's knowledge.

This feeling is too subtle.

You Zhen was dizzy and looked so close in disbelief.

The boy curled up on his side silently turned into a flat bed, and with his breathing, the lines on his side undulated like spring mountains.He was stuck in the shadows, his eyelashes fluttered occasionally, as if he was painting a little blue shadow on his heart.

You Zhen suffered from insomnia completely. He ran out of the bedroom and smoked several cigarettes on the balcony.

Originally planned to take the train, but Yang Jin was in a hurry, and finally You Zhen chose to take Tenzing back to Chengdu by plane.Flights are limited, so we had to start from Renqing Village at sunrise the next day.

Eating and drinking rice wine the night before counted as farewell, and You Zhen planned that he should leave quietly the next day.

But the sleep condition was bad, and it was almost dawn, and it was hard to calm down a little, You Zhen raced against time to sleep for a while, before the alarm clock rang, he was woken up by Di Lan who was in the next bed.

He opened his eyes and saw that the other party had finished dressing and picked up the schoolbag that followed him all the way: "Let's go."

You Zhen let out a muffled nasal sound in a daze: "Huh?"

"Brother Fei was worried that the bus time would not be accurate, so he said he would drive you and Tenzin to the airport. By the way, he still needs to go to Nyingchi city for some materials, so I'll go with you." After Zhai Lan finished talking, Youzhen still didn't move, so he simply stretched out his hand people.

As soon as he met the other party, You Zhen quickly turned over and sat up, raising his hands in surrender.

"I'm getting up right now..."

The time we spend together prolongs, but You Zhen doesn't know how to deal with it.

Their private message exchanges have been unequal for a long time, and Zhai Lan is keeping secrets while others are in the open. Zhai Lan knows everything he says and does. The only thing that can comfort You Zhen is that at least they met only for a short period of ten days.The truth was discovered by himself, but the feeling was not as hard to accept as imagined, and You Zhen didn't feel embarrassed at all.

...Probably because it is Zhai Lan.

It was not someone else, so not only did the facts not embarrass him, but he was vaguely delighted.

Their co-production far exceeds You Zhen's expectation.

But for the time being, it seems to be caught in one-way transparency, and You Zhen has no intention of "admitting relatives" immediately.

On the way to the airport, Li Feimu was driving, and Tenzin happily grabbed the co-pilot, and he and Zhai Lan were in the back seat.There were two other people there, and the content of the chat was quite satisfactory. After a while, Zhai Lan started to yawn, put a neck pillow between the car window and his head, and fell asleep.

Nyingchi is approaching the rainy season, there is no sunshine this day, and the snow-capped mountains are completely covered by clouds and fog.

You Zhen listened to the river all the way, and the car radio played a certain song-demand program, all of which were classic old songs.From campus ballads in the 90s, golden Cantonese songs, to electronic dance music in the early [-]s, You Zhen listened so fascinated that Zhai Lan was always in his corner of the eye when looking out the window.

He felt that Zhai Lan was not asleep. The other party held the phone tightly, and his fingertips moved subconsciously occasionally.

Maybe Zhai Lan noticed that something was wrong with him, and deliberately gave him space.

You really like their tacit understanding.

Arriving at the airport, You Zhen’s things were filled in just one suitcase, but Dan increased his bags and wanted to empty all his belongings—it also makes sense, their house is empty now, and it will take at least half a year before they come back—— Li Feimu helped him carry the things, first moved them all out of the car, and then began to give him instructions.

You Zhen looked at Li Feimu, remembered Zhai Lan's distaste for calling him a "male mother", and laughed secretly.

At this moment, someone lightly patted the shoulder twice.

Zhai Lan, who was silent all the way, stood beside him, his eyes dodged for a moment, but he still looked firmly into You Zhen's eyes: "Well, I have something to tell you."

You Zhen pursed his lips, making small movements uneasy: "What?"

"I'm very happy during this period." Zhai Lan smiled, although the drooping arc of the eyes still looked bitter, "It was a windfall to know you this trip, I... Thank you, that day, on the mountain when."

The words don't convey the meaning, but he is not afraid that You Zhen won't understand.

It was as if a vacuum had been drawn around him, You Zhen's ears were buzzing, and a few lines of words appeared in his mind, and a huge energy burst out of comfort to You Zhen, making him unable to respond correctly and politely.

He didn't have altitude sickness, and he couldn't explain the abnormality for a while.

"Actually..." Last night's private mailbox flashed in front of his eyes. After You Zhen opened his mouth, he stopped mentioning it, with a little lightness after being released, "Actually, I am also very happy to meet you."

Zhai Lan tugged at the strap of the backpack, without speaking for a long time, then suddenly took out a box and handed it to You Zhen.

"Gifts," he said.

The wooden box is opened with a layer of transparent glass, with dark green velvet as the bottom, and a pink and yellow Gesang flower lying quietly in the middle.The petals have clear lines, as if they still have dew before being picked.

When he bought it in the alley of Barkhor Street, Zhai Lan had already thought about its ownership.

You Zhen didn't look at the flowers, he carefully observed the other person's expression, and finally took it hesitantly.

"I wanted to give it to you when I saw it, and the hair color is exactly the same as yours." Zhai Lan teased irrelevantly, and took a deep breath, "You Zhen, I don't know when we will never see each other again I see, Gesanghua's blessing is very beautiful, you... may have better luck in the future."

Knowing that he said that on purpose, You Zhen can't fight with Zhai Lan like before, laughing and cursing and hitting him on the head.

A small gift box weighs as much as a thousand pounds.

It is the first time that You Zhen discovers that living like a year occasionally does not necessarily mean that time is difficult.

This may also be a kind of meet and hate.

"No." You Zhen said as if swearing, "If you have my phone number, go back to Chengdu... just say it."

"Okay!" Zhai Lan's tone became heavy and light again. He saw that Li Feimu's side was ready and quickly pushed You Zhen towards the security checkpoint, "Hurry up and be careful not to delay your boarding!"

Not serious, or lack of energy, in short, You Zhen remained motionless.

Zhai Lan's wrist was hot, a little tight, and his muscles were sore, as if he was holding someone back for him.

The electronic sound of the airport broadcast is mechanical and orderly. The entire glass window is divided into small grids. The blue sky and white clouds have shapes, and each small piece is engraved with different memories.

You Zhen lowered his eyes and suddenly hugged Zhai Lan.

The palm stroked the back of his head, and he let go quickly. Before Zhai Lan could react, he lifted a small box at his feet, shouted Tsering Tenzin's name, and strode towards the security checkpoint.

Zhai Lan was left standing there with a sore nose, sending him off blankly.

No "goodbye" was said, but they both promised each other that there would be a next meeting.

"I just told Tenzin to send a message and wait here, but they can't see it." Li Feimu patted Zhai Lan's shoulder, "We have to do something, let's go?"

Zhai Lan nodded, but her gaze couldn't help but linger on the long line at the security checkpoint.That back figure was too conspicuous, no matter how many crowds were there, he could catch it in the first second.

The lemon scent of the denim jacket still lingers on Zhai Lan's chest, it's very cold, and it's like hugging the whole summer.

On the way back, when it was almost time to take off, Zhai Lan's cell phone rang.

The "special reminder" set up gave him the biggest aftershock after hugging him in a way full of fate at this time. Zhai Lan opened his eyes wide and couldn't hold back, and let out an "ah".

"What's wrong?" Li Feimu asked him.

The teenager covered the phone screen: "It's okay, it's okay..."

Unable to hold back after a while, Zhai Lan turned sideways, turned up the brightness, and was completely speechless in front of the photo sent by "Real's Digital World".

The peaks of Nanga Bawa are magnificent, the sunset is brilliant, and the ignorant figure in the foreground is himself.

Real's Digital World: Found You.

The author says:

You Zhen: Got it!
