Tropical Highway

The rain came and went, but showed no signs of stopping.

The weather was bad, but the number of customers in the store did not decrease but increased, and it took a while to go out. When You Zhen rode a bicycle to the exit B of the subway with an umbrella in hand, he saw a puppy in the water from a distance, squatting, holding his ankles with both hands Then put your chin on your knees.

Can the ripple frequency and range of the puddle be calculated?

Li Feimu's call was not answered.

The holiday was when I got out of the subway exit and suddenly I couldn't remember which direction to go.

How are they so disgusting.

The raindrops fell into the puddle, colorful particles flashed in front of my eyes, and the light effect seemed to make me dizzy in a second. Zhai Lan seemed to have thought a lot, but his mind was blank all the time, only feeling cold.

His eyes were staring in a daze, he didn't even notice that You Zhen walked in front of him.

"Sorry for being late... Zhai Lan?" You Zhen squatted down, put his hand on his shoulder and shook, feeling that something was obviously wrong with him, so his voice was very soft, lest he would be stimulated again, "What's wrong?"

Is it rain on the eyelashes? They trembled and then slid down the cheeks. Zhai Lan raised his head, his eyes were red.He didn't say anything, he held You Zhen's arm for strength, his feet almost went limp when he stood up, he staggered forward and then stabilized himself, Zhai Lan wiped his face, turned his head to look at the schoolbag that had done a lot .

Although he wanted to observe You Zhen's expression immediately, Zhai Lan didn't dare to look at him.He knew that he was in a complicated mood now, and the emotional glass would break at the touch of a touch, and he was afraid that his eyes would meet, and he would cry out before he said anything, which would make You Zhen at a loss.

He has already cried in Lhasa, so don't let him leave a weak impression of "only shedding tears".

"It's okay." Zhai Lan said, trying her best to cover up the abnormal vibration of her vocal cords, "I...I suddenly want to find you for dinner."

You Zhen looked at him deeply, and when he noticed that Zhai Lan's gaze was dodging, he withdrew his gaze.

"Then let's go!" He intentionally and cheerfully embraced Zhai Lan's shoulders, "Although the new menu will be made tomorrow, I can give you a taste first. Does it count as you said before?"

Zhai Lan forced a smile: "Forget it."

The shared bicycle was thrown aside, and You Zhen once again opened the big black umbrella to cover the heads of the two of them.It is thick and solid, and once it is blocked, the gloomy sky light seems to no longer hurt the eyes. The black cloth gives Zhai Lan a sense of security, or maybe it is the hand that You Zhen has always half-clutched him to protect him very thoughtfully.

Walking from Exit B to "Holiday", the street is full of camphor trees. On rainy days, the fragrance of plants and trees becomes more intense, passing through every breath with moist stickiness, and taking a deep breath is also calming.

Occasionally there are one or two small potholes on the asphalt road, and the lines of the yellow signs are particularly bright.

Zhai Lan lowered his head, and there was the sound of clanging metal in his ears.When waiting for the traffic light, he turned his head and saw clearly that it was the echo of a pendant hanging on You Zhen's chest and the button of the denim shirt colliding with each other.You Zhen changed his hand to hold the umbrella, and let go of the posture of hugging him. Zhai Lan hesitated for a while, and hung one hand on the arm of You Zhen holding the umbrella.

Hanging from the outside to the inside, as if to hold back, You Zhen glanced at his movements from the corner of his eye, and smiled quietly.

After a few steps, I first saw the wooden notice board outside the cafe.Zhai Lan was about to turn a corner and enter the door, but You Zhen stopped him and signaled with his eyes: Let's go to another place.

"Holiday" is opened in the ground-floor shops outside the residential area, next to the entrance of the residential area.

Being led by You Zhen through the long corridor, Zhai Lan was still in a daze when he walked into the ten-year-old apartment building. He walked up the steps and stopped in front of a security door. Seeing that You Zhen took out the key to open the door, the lock cylinder "clicked" Click," brought him back to his senses.

Zhai Lan stopped in front of the threshold, the entrance of the house was lit with warm lights, and You Zhen found a pair of slippers that were one size smaller from the shoe cabinet.

"Come in." He said naturally, and went to pick up Zhai Lan's schoolbag.

With one command and one movement, Zhai Lan changed his shoes, followed You Zhen and walked two steps in.

At a glance, it is probably a two-bedroom apartment. The living room is spacious, and the windows are particularly large, because the view is perfect only on the second floor. The acacia trees planted downstairs for many years are luxuriant, and they are as deep and shallow as the camphor green, filling the glass windows. On a rainy day, the wet color is reflected on the floor tiles facing the window, like smudged paint.

The decoration color of the living room is in the same line as "Holiday" at first glance, with log texture and beige tone, warm and almost sweet.In contrast, You Zhen, who was dressed in black, stood at the water dispenser to receive water, which seemed particularly abrupt.

Did You Zhen still wear an apron?Zhai Lan thought slowly.

No, this is...

Did You Zhen take him to his home?

"Come and sit." You Zhen turned his head and called him funny, "What's the matter with you? You're just being silly today."

"Oh." Zhai Lan nodded.

As soon as he moved his feet, You Zhen changed his mind again: "Forget it, don't come here, just go to take a shower. I saw that you were trembling when you walked just now, and your lips were also white...It's cold? It's raining so much today, and the temperature is so cold. Low."

"……Oh."

Without responding to other words, Zhai Lan turned around and found the bathroom by virtue of his sense of the layout of the house.

There is a door outside and a sliding wooden door inside.He looked around, but before he could ask, the voice of You Zhen in the living room behind him became muffled through the two walls: "I'll find a clean towel and two pieces of clothes for you to put on the shelf outside—" — By the way, just throw the dirty clothes in the basket and wash them later."

Zhai Lan said yes, and finally regained the rhythm of body movements.

When I took off my clothes, I found a few bruises on my knuckles and calf bones, but I can't remember how I got them, maybe I accidentally bumped them somewhere, and it still hurts to touch.

Forcing himself to forget everything this morning, Zhai Lan suddenly turned on the hot water switch.The water vapor is dense, and after deliberately raising the temperature, it drenches the skin and even hurts, and it turns red soon.Zhai Lan closed his eyes, waiting for his emotions to ease and his body to recover. Whether he was stiff or lost, he would be happy to live alone in the future.

But I should thank You Zhen later, there are many things that You Zhen doesn't have to do for him.

During the shower, the wooden door rang once and was closed softly. There was a small frosted glass, but nothing could be seen clearly.Zhai Lan uses Youzhen shampoo and shower gel, both of which have the aroma of lemon.

He thought of You Zhen's coat, it was such a summer smell when hugging.

Zhai Lan buried her face in her palms.

Inhale hard.

Milk is boiled in a small milk pot, white sugar is added, and after a slight boil, ginger juice prepared in advance is poured in.Putting a plate on the small bowl and letting it stand, You Zhen started a countdown, thought for a while and brought out a plate of glutinous rice cakes from the refrigerator.

After setting the table, he wiped his hands and was about to drink a glass of water when the bathroom door opened.

Moisture gushed out in an instant, and Zhai Lan was wearing the clothes You Zhen had prepared for him. The T-shirt had exaggerated prints, and the size was obviously too big, making the already thin boy even thinner like a piece of paper.The slippers were alright, after Zhai Lan took two steps, Yuzhen realized that he had been twisting the waist of his trousers with his left hand, frowning slightly.

Zhai Lan looked at him this time, unable to tell whether it was accusation or coquetry: "The pants are too big..."

"Those are my pajama pants." You Zhen said, after looking around Zhai Lan, he felt strangely embarrassed, "It was a little tight when I bought it, and I wore it once and didn't wear it. I thought your size might be just right. .”

When he picked up the waistband of the trousers with one hand, a small section of skin was exposed, contrasting with the dark blue, it was strikingly white.

He didn't expect Zhai Lan's waist to be thinner than what he had seen visually.

After hearing his explanation, Zhai Lan said "oh" slowly, he cleared his throat to dispel the congestion in his throat, and was about to speak when You Zhen suddenly interrupted: "Don't thank me."

"what?"

"I'm most afraid that you will say 'thank you'. You are very polite." You Zhen pulled out the chair and raised his hand to greet him. He didn't realize that the gesture was like calling the fat cat to eat, "Come here, I have prepared something for you. Things go cold, have you ever eaten ginger milk?"

Zhai Lan walked towards him, hesitant at first, then quickly became brisk.

I have never eaten ginger milk before, and I am not very interested.

Maybe I'm really hungry now, it's too cold, it's You Zhen who made it, so I really want to eat it, all kinds of reasons superimpose, Zhai Lan picks up the spoon without hesitation, and doesn't even ask how he did it.He dug a large spoonful and put it into his mouth, but he didn't expect it to be still hot, and he was almost scalded to spit it all out.

The milk fragrance is too strong, and the ginger juice is slightly spicy to the nasal cavity. The taste is homely, not sweet, and I just feel that my whole body is warming up quickly.The contradictory taste between Xin and Tian is far from groundbreaking, but it is definitely the only part that cannot be replaced in Zhai Lan's heart from now on.

Zhai Lan's eyes almost turned hot, and he said roughly "delicious", and buried himself in spoonful after spoonful without stopping until he finished a big bowl.He picked up the glutinous rice cakes again, and at some point in the middle of the journey, he put a glass of lime soda by his hand, as if he expected that he would get thirsty after eating the glutinous rice cakes.

Desserts, drinks, indoors on a rainy day, and the sense of security surrounding him, Zhai Lan couldn't help restraining himself even though his whole body was covered in thorns from anger and sadness.

You Zhen always sits next to him.

"...The glutinous rice cakes are also delicious." Zhai Lan's mouth was still stained with coconut paste, "You made it?"

You Zhen made a gesture to hit him: "Don't ask such obvious things."

"No wonder Boss You can open a shop." Zhai Lan finally showed his first sincere smile today.

Being praised by him, You Zhen raised his eyebrows proudly.

"So please please me more, I'll think of you soon when something good happens in the future." He said, the movement of knocking on the forehead turned into an exaggerated rubbing, messing up Zhai Lan's dripping hair.

The sound of the rain seemed to be much quieter, the sound of the cicadas no longer slammed against the glass, and the sound waves of the insects could be felt when they landed barefoot.The sky is also brighter, and there are one or two spots of white light leaking through the gaps between the branches and leaves of acacia and camphor. When the wind blows, they overlap like ripples.

"By the way, where's your cat?"

"in the shop."

Zhai Lan joked: "Didn't I ask you to beat it up for you? You should take me there directly."

"Just forget about your appearance just now. I'm afraid it will think you are weak and bully. In order to stand up, it will pounce on you on the spot and punch you with a set of up and down, left and right hooks." You Zhen exaggerated his tone, and Zhai Lan kept laughing, his unresolved heart landed safely, and said, "Is it much better now?"

Zhai Lan nodded: "Well, I felt cold just now, but it's not cold now."

"Aren't you going to class this afternoon?"

"Which professor will..."

The expression seems to say "Do you have common sense, brother".

You Zhen didn't care at all: "Then, I'll help you wash your clothes. Rest here first? Do you think it's okay to have dinner together later? It just so happens that Tenzin also came here today."

In fact, they had been chatting all the time, but at this moment, Zhai Lan felt that it was not so easy to kill their common memories after not seeing each other for nearly two months.He and You Zhen listened to those songs together, and watched the scenery together. They discovered Rizhao Jinshan together. He said that You Zhen would be happy for a whole year.

But he is not happy now, this rain took away a lot of what he once cherished, but also brought some, what he was looking forward to, so that Zhai Lan would not lose everything he wanted.

At least sitting here now, Zhai Lan knows that You Zhen will not completely ignore him.

So take a gamble?

"You Zhen." Zhai Lan didn't answer the topic just now, and looked at him with that kind of nice eyes, "If I tell you now that I have 100 million, what will you do?"
