lake garden moon

When he was in the south, Kang Zhier found it amazing that he often forgot the time.He couldn't remember how many days of sunshine and rain had passed in total, and it was only when Suta reminded him that it dawned on him for a while.

In the morning, when Suta went into the bedroom to clean, Kang Zhier was sitting at the table drinking water.

Halfway through drinking, he turned his gaze to the bright sunlight outside the window, and told Suta: "Suta, the nearest moon is so bright, I don't need to turn on the light when I wake up at night."

"Yeah," Suta replied while wiping the sofa, "this time of year is when the moon is at its roundest and brightest."

When Kang Zhier heard this, he remembered what Berkari had said to him in Meiweisi Garden, and relayed it to Suta: "I heard Sister Kerry mentioned before that the moon seen from Lake Garden is the most beautiful. .”

"Yes," Suta answered him while working happily, "The most magical place in our mansion is that no matter which direction you look from, you can see the full and bright moon."

As she spoke, she paused, counted the days in a murmur, and told Kang Zhier: "However, today is already seventeen, and the full moon will soon pass."

"Ah?" Kang Zhier sat up straight all of a sudden.

"So if you don't watch the moon tonight," he asked Suta, "you might not be able to see it tomorrow night?"

"Yes," Suta nodded, and casually told him, "So the young master will sit on the big terrace on the third floor for a while these few nights."

"Elvis?" Kang Zhier was a little surprised.

"Well," Suta nodded, and then told him, "The young master likes looking at the moon the most."

Kang Zhier thought to himself that for a person with such high taste, the place he chose must be the best place to watch the moon.

"Suta," he asked Suta a little eagerly, "do you think that if I ask Elvis, will he let me sit on the big terrace with him and watch the moon?"

"This one……"

Suta thought for a while, then turned to look at Kang Zhier, and nodded to him.

"I think it's fine."

Afterwards, Kang Zhier went downstairs to have breakfast.

He had intended to make this request to Elvis at breakfast time.But to his surprise, besides him and Elvis, there was also Elvis' assistant in the breakfast room today.

They were talking about a reclamation project with the government.Elvis seemed to care about the project, often stopping in the middle of a meal to turn away and discuss some details with his assistant.

Seeing that they were chatting about business matters, Kang Zhier could not interrupt, so he kept his request in his heart, and at the same time observed the right time.

After finishing his breakfast, Kang Zhier didn't find the so-called "suitable" time.Seeing that Elvis was about to go out, Kang Zhier sat under the porch on the first floor, feeling anxious.

After a while, Elvis and his assistant walked out of the gate together, and stood on the porch waiting for Zheng Tong.

Kang Zhier saw that he and his assistant were standing side by side without talking, and thought that their business should be over.So, he got up from the rattan chair, tiptoed to the back of Elvis, and carefully grabbed the hem of his suit.

Elvis turned his head, and when he realized it was him, his brows widened.

"Xiaozhi, what's the matter?" He asked Kang Zhier, "Is there anything you want to tell me?"

Because the assistant was beside him, Kang Zhier was embarrassed to ask Elvis directly, grabbed the corner of Elvis's clothes, and raised his head close to his ear.Whispered in his ear: "Elvis, can I watch the moon with you on the terrace on the third floor tonight?"

When he left, he smelled the familiar smell of aftershave on Elvis' cheek.

After he finished asking, Elvis withdrew his sideways face, turned to look at him, and readily agreed, "Okay."

Hearing this, Kang Zhier raised his lips and looked at Elvis happily.

At this time, Zheng Tong drove the car in front of the gate.

"The car is here." Kang Zhier reminded Elvis.

Unlike in the past, when the car door was closed, Kang Zhier did not go back to the house, but was still standing under the porch.

Elvis turned his face to the side of the car window, looking at him through the glass.

After the car started, Kang Zhier waved and said goodbye to Elvis.

Elvis put his palm on the car window and said goodbye to him too.

Lan'er and Suta walked to the porch from the back of the mansion at this time, saw the scene of Kang Zhier saying goodbye to Elvis at the gate, and they stood there for a long time in silence.

"Sister Suta," Lan'er turned her face away, and said to Suta, "The two young masters look different from before."

"Well," Suta recalled the previous relationship between the two of them, and nodded in agreement, "I think so too."

From five o'clock in the afternoon, Kang Zhier sat in the main living room on the first floor, with his forehead pressed against the glass, paying attention to the movement outside the garden.

Time passed very slowly, Kang Zhier saw the summer evening sky from turquoise to sea blue, saw the moon looming behind the clouds, and the car carrying Elvis slowly drove in through the outer door, Into his line of sight in the twilight.

In the evening, Kang Zhier and Elvis sat together on the large terrace on the third floor.

The heat of the day gradually dissipated under the cool night, and the light green stamens became white and flawless under the moonlight.

Kang Zhier sank into the rattan chair, looking at his snow-white arms in disbelief.

"It turns out that what is said in the book is true," he said full of surprise, "there is really a bright moonlight."

Elvis smiled beside him.

There are not many stars tonight, but the darkness of the night makes the moon look brighter.

Kang Zhier turned to look at Elvis and asked him: "Elvis, why do you enjoy such a good opportunity to watch the moon alone?"

Elvis looked at him and replied honestly, "Because you don't like it."

"I don't like it?" Kang Zhier was very confused.

"When I was young, every time I went to the terrace with you to look at the moon," Elvis smiled at him and replied, "You fell asleep before the moon came out."

"Uh……"

Kang Zhier recalled carefully, vaguely picked up a few words from the past, and finally came to a conclusion.

He really liked sleeping when he was a kid.

Thick tropical plants on both sides of the terrace cast long shadows on the floor tiles.Kang Zhier looked at the moon for a while, and his mood calmed down.

"Elvis," he leaned on the wicker chair, looked at the moon, and asked Elvis, "Why do you like looking at the moon?"

Elvis' eyes became warm because of the moonlight, and he replied to Kang Zhier in a calm voice: "Because the moon can expel many complicated things."

After listening to Elvis' answer, Kang Zhier thought for a moment in his heart, then turned around to face him.

"Elvis, I have a question for you." His tone sounded rare and solemn.

Elvis also turned to face him, looking back at him with a happy expression.

"You said."

Kang Zhier stared at him and asked a question that had been buried in his heart for a long time.

"what do you like about me?"

After listening to his question, Elvis lowered his eyes and thought seriously.After a while, he raised his eyes, looked at Kang Zhier calmly and shook his head.

"I don't know," he replied.

"You don't know?" Kang Zhier opened his eyes wide.

He really didn't even think about the answer.

"How come you don't know?" He put his elbows on the armrest of the wicker chair, propped his chin, and asked Elvis puzzled, "You don't even know the reason, how can you be sure that you like me?"

Elvis was silent at first, then a smile gradually appeared in the corner of his eyes.

"If there is an answer," he replied to Kang Zhier in a calm tone, "it may be because I am happy when I am by your side."

hapiness?

Kang Zhier couldn't imagine the so-called happy appearance of Elvis.

In those days, he had rarely seen a smile on Elvis's face.Every time Elvis sees him he puts on a straight face, looking unhappy.Now, Elvis actually said he was happy when he was around?

Kang Zhier felt it was unbelievable, he fell into the retrograde flow of memories, trying to find a trace of Elvis' happiness.

When he was immersed in the memory, Elvis suddenly said softly opposite him: "Xiaozhi, your eyes are like the moon."

"Ah?" Kang Zhier looked at Elvis suspiciously.

How can it be like the moon?His eyes are very ordinary black eyes.

Elvis focused on his own thoughts, eyes fixed on him, and said softly, "Looking at them, there is peace in my heart."

Because of Elvis' sudden praise, Kang Zhier became nervous, lowered his head, as if he had lost something, and looked around blankly.

After repeating this action several times in a row, he raised his head slowly, and Elvis was still looking at him intently.

Kang Zhier remained motionless, as if frozen in place, looking at Elvis quietly.

When Elvis put his hand on his face, Kang Zhier felt some strange ups and downs in his mood.

The night was as cold as water, Elvis held Kang Zhier's cheek with his slender fingers.

Kang Zhier became less able to breathe, and Elvis was guiding him.

Slowly, their lips, teeth, breathing, and even their heartbeats gradually became synchronized.

Kang Zhier closed his eyes, and the silence around him gave him an illusion that he was on the distant and silent moon.

It wasn't until the sound of the cast-iron door being locked broke the silence of the moonlit night that he raised his eyelids vigorously as if frightened.

After him, Elvis also opened his eyes, fingers still on his cheek, staring at him affectionately.

Kang Zhier realized that he had made a big mistake, grabbed Elvis' wrist in a panic, and took his hand off his face.

"Sorry, Elvis."

He put on his shoes, fled the scene in a hurry after dropping these words.
