After talking to Elvis, Kang Zhier returned to the bedroom from the study and simply packed his luggage.

The next morning, after breakfast, they set off.

The weather on this day was not too good, the sun was hidden behind the dark clouds, looking out from the car window, only a cloudy sky could be seen.

The car drove across the wide boulevard and soon onto the highway.The road is surrounded by woods on both sides, and the tunnel entrance appears in the middle of the road.

Then they entered the tunnel, and the light of day was suddenly cut off.

In the dim environment, Kang Zhier blinked slowly, feeling an indescribable feeling in his heart.

Coming out of the dim tunnel, the trees full of life on both sides made low sounds in the flowing wind.

Listening to the sound of the undulating leaves, the memories of the first day here suddenly came to Kang Zhier's heart.

Elvis slowly took his hand while he was staring at the car window in a daze.

Along the way, the scenery is natural and charming.They drove along the road from the rainy forest to the sunny beach, and then continued on.

In the afternoon, they arrived in Windsor.

This is a small town like an oil painting.In fine weather, people are sitting outside the exquisite shop, drinking coffee leisurely.

On the way to their residence in Windsor, they encountered an obstacle - the only major road was under construction.

Seeing this, Zheng Tong chose another remote mountain road.

However, the ruggedness of the mountain road was beyond their expectation.

On this irregular mountain road, they walked very bumpy all the way, and Kang Zhier began to feel dizzy and sick because of this.

Elvis was by his side trying to relieve his motion sickness, but to no avail.

Kang Zhier was so dizzy that he almost vomited several times.When he was suffering the most, he raised his hand out of anger, as if to pinch Elvis' neck.

Elvis had a good temper, let him complain about himself, helped him sit up, and kept hugging him to comfort him.

Kang Zhier leaned on his neck, his whole body was drowsy, and he made a small, complaining voice like a child.

"It's all your fault, Elvis."

Zheng Tong held the steering wheel in his hands and kept his eyes fixed on the front.It wasn't until he saw that the road ahead was becoming smoother that he breathed a sigh of relief.

Fifteen minutes later, they arrived at the residence in Windsor.

All three of them looked a little tired from this journey.Elvis helped Kang Zhier get out of the car, and asked Zheng Tong to rest after loading the luggage.

After four o'clock in the afternoon, when Kang Zhier woke up in the bedroom, his spirit was much better.

Xu had been on the road for too long, and he felt his stomach was empty, so he got up and got out of bed, planning to go downstairs to the kitchen to find something to eat.

When Kang Zhier came out of the bedroom and walked to the first floor, he magically smelled the aroma of food.

He followed the smell of food all the way to the quiet restaurant, and saw Elvis standing by the table.

His footsteps caught Elvis' attention.Elvis turned around when he heard the voice, and his face lit up when he saw him.

"Xiaozhi, you're awake."

As he spoke, he walked towards Kang Zhier.When he walked in front of Kang Zhier, he naturally held his hand, lowered his face and talked to him: "I just wanted to wake you up for dinner."

Because Elvis insisted on bringing himself to this place, Kang Zhier was still a little emotional at this moment, so he didn't look into his eyes, turned his gaze to the dining table, and asked him, "Why did you eat so early?" ?”

"Lunch was too hasty on the way," Elvis replied, "You got motion sickness again later. I thought you must be hungry when you woke up, so I prepared dinner first."

Seeing that he was so well prepared, Kang Zhier deliberately asked him, "Did you do it?"

Elvis shook his hand and replied, "No."

Kang Zhier raised his eyes, looked straight at Elvis, and teased him: "Then you still say there are only two of us?"

After listening to his words, Elvis showed a smile on his face, and humbly confessed to him: "I'm not very good at cooking yet."

"Hmph," Kang Zhier gently turned his face to one side, and made a soft voice, "It's all an excuse."

After speaking, he walked straight to his seat, pulled out the chair and sat down.

Elvis sat down opposite him, and the two ate dinner harmoniously.

After dinner, Kang Zhier had enough energy to appreciate the summer in Windsor.

He walked out and stood in the open-air garden, looking at the twilight in the distance.

Elvis walked up to him suddenly, and took his hand again before he recovered.

Kang Zhier turned his head and gestured to him with his eyes.But Elvis pretended not to see it.

"Xiaozhi," he held Kang Zhier's hand, and said to him in a gentle tone, "I'll take you somewhere."

After all, without waiting for Kang Zhier's consent, he led Kang Zhier to the outer gate of the garden on his own.

"Elvis," Kang Zhier made an invalid complaint behind him, and asked in a long voice, "Where are you going to abduct me?"

Kang Zhier experienced motion sickness that almost destroyed his will on the road, and finally regained his strength after eating, Elvis actually took him up the hill again.

On the way, Kang Zhier kept thinking of ways, trying to escape from Elvis' "claw".But Elvis was always unhurried and smiling, coaxing him to climb all the way up.

After a long climb, they finally reached the high ground behind the garden.

Kang Zhier was sweating due to the hot weather, and he was a little short of breath after climbing the slope, so he was not in a good mood at first.

But when he stood in the grass and looked out from the high ground with a wide view, all his bad emotions dissipated with the wind.

The quiet and beautiful ocean in the distance looks like a piece of clear kyanite in the twilight.With its calm energy, the ocean takes away all the black emotions.

At this moment, Elvis silently walked behind him, hugged him into his arms from behind, and leaned on his head.

"We used to come here when we were kids, remember?" Elvis asked him.

"Remember," Kang Zhier responded, then pursed his lips to expose him, "you didn't have so much fun at that time."

Elvis laughed happily behind his back.

Kang Zhier looked at the clearly visible stars between the clouds in the distance, and his thin back was pressed against Elvis' chest, feeling his sincere happiness.

Afterwards, Elvis hugged him and whispered in his ear: "Xiao Zhi, I liked you as much as I do now, then."

The air up there was cool, almost chilly.When people stand for a long time, their body sensation will decrease.However, Kang Zhier, who was held in Elvis' arms, felt his cheeks warm.

They stayed on the high ground for a while, and then a young boy came up from the bottom of the hill.

Seeing someone coming, Elvis let go of Kang Zhier, walked to his side, and stood side by side with him.

The young child looked about seventeen or eighteen years old, tall and thin, with short hair on both sides.Kang Zhier noticed a Polaroid hanging on his chest and a SLR in his hand, guessing that he came up to take pictures.

Sure enough, after a while, the boy slowly walked towards them.

Kang Zhier saw that he was very focused and didn't want to disturb him, so he and Elvis walked to other places.

When they turned around and were about to leave, the boy who was taking pictures suddenly stopped them.

"Wait a moment."

Hearing the voice, the two turned around and looked at the boy inexplicably.

"Hello."

The boy's short, clean hair was pulled straight up, and he looked student-like.He politely bowed slightly to Kang Zhier and Elvis, and then asked them: "Can I take a photo for you?"

Facing the boy's request, Kang Zhier was very surprised.

"Taking pictures?"

"Yes."

The boy nodded, a little shyness appeared on his face, he subconsciously licked his lips, and answered Kang Zhier: "I am a student at Windsor Public School, and I just fell in love with photography recently. My teacher said that I am good at taking pictures of landscapes. , but the characters are still a bit inferior. Can I take a picture for you?"

When Kang Zhier was about to answer, he heard the boy say to them again: "In return, I will take an extra photo for you with Polaroid, and then send the photo to you."

When Kang Zhier saw the boy's sincere expression and was hesitating in his heart, he suddenly heard Elvis agree: "Yes."

Hearing Elvis' answer, Kang Zhier was very surprised, and turned his face to look at him.

"Elvis?"

"Take a picture," Elvis replied, putting his hands on his shoulders and gazing at him happily. "We haven't had a photo together in years."

Kang Zhier thought for a moment, then nodded quietly, agreeing to Elvis.

Then, under the guidance of the boy, they stood in a well-lit place in the grass.

Facing the stranger, Kang Zhier seemed a little embarrassed, with his hands rigidly stuck to his sides.

The boy stood not far in front of them and took a few photos, but he didn't get a satisfactory result, so he patiently instructed them, "You two can get closer, with more smiles on your faces, and don't be too tense."

Elvis's hand was on Kang Zhier's shoulder from the beginning to the end.

After listening to the boy's words, Kang Zhier lowered his eyes, and after a short thought, he quietly raised his right hand and wrapped it around Elvis' waist.

"Be more happy," the boy described to them, gesturing with his hands, "The weather is very good today. I went out to climb a mountain with my good friends to watch the sunset. What a happy experience it is..."

In the depiction of the boy, Kang Zhier relaxes himself and tries to recall some beautiful past.So, in the slow recall of memory, his thoughts went back to the time when he followed Elvis when he was a child.

Thinking of this, a slight smile appeared on his face.

The boy seized this moment and picked up the camera to capture this moment.

After the photo shoot, Kang Zhier suddenly received a call from his mother Chen Nanxi.

Elvis waited for the Polaroid photo of the boy to come out, while Kang Zhier walked away to answer the phone.

A few minutes passed, Kang Zhier ended the call with his mother.He turned around to follow Elvis' figure, but saw an unexpected scene.

Under the dark blue sky, Elvis stood alone beside a tree, looking at the photo of the two of them in his hand very cherished.

There was a quiet smile on his face.Moreover, there is a fragile, almost transparent goodwill.

It seemed that this small photo could bring him eternal happiness for a long time in the future.

At that moment, Kang Zhier suddenly felt Elvis' pure and deep love for him.

Kang Zhier stood there blankly, a wave of sadness silently flooded into his heart.

Elvis, he is the silent and gentle moon in the middle of the night, a bright and crystal star, and a person with the qualities of the sun, the moon and the stars.

And he couldn't see his heart clearly for a long time, vacillating between the two extremes, and hurt Elvis again and again.This kind of him is not worthy of Elvis at all.

Thinking of this, the look in his eyes also disappeared.

Elvis didn't know what was going on in his heart at this time, seeing him finish the phone call, he walked towards him slowly.

After approaching, he asked Kang Zhier with a cheerful tone, "Did you finish the call?"

Kang Zhier looked at him and nodded slightly.

With a smile on his face, Elvis showed him the photo presented by the boy, and asked him softly, "Does it look good?"

In the photo, the two of them are close together, with happy smiles on their faces, as if they are the closest friends in the world.

Kang Zhier lowered his eyes, staring at Elvis in the photo, his eyes became more sad.

He had never seen Elvis smile in a picture of Elvis before.

"It looks good." Kang Zhier nodded.

"I think it looks good too," Elvis echoed, "That student is quite good at taking pictures, and he took pictures of your cuteness."

Kang Zhier raised his head and looked at Elvis seriously in the dark sky.Then, he spoke softly.

"Elvis, let's go back."

"it is good."

Elvis puts the photo away.They turned and walked back and forth.

After walking two steps, Kang Zhier silently grabbed Elvis' hand.Elvis shook his hand back, wrapping warm fingers around his palm.

Back at the residence, they had leisure and entertainment as usual as they did in Lake Garden, and finally said good night to each other and went back to their room to rest.

In the early morning of the next day, before dawn, the trees in the garden were dripping with dew.

In Windsor at dawn, Kang Zhier dragged his suitcase and got on the online taxi to the airport.

At nine o'clock in the morning, the plane landed at the first airport in central China on time.

At 09:30, Kang Zhongrong and his wife Chen Nanxi had just had breakfast and were sitting in the living room watching TV when they suddenly heard the sound of wheels sliding across the ground outside.

The two of them looked towards the door at the same time, and in the next second, they saw their young son walking in from the outside with a suitcase absently.

"Xiaozhi, are you back?"

Chen Nanxi got up from the sofa, walked quickly to him, supported his shoulders and asked, "Why didn't you tell mom when you came back suddenly?"

On the phone last night, she reminded Kang Zhier that his birthday would be in a few days, and asked when Kang Zhier would come back, but Kang Zhier still had a nonchalant tone.

Kang Zhier looked extremely tired, as if he had experienced many things, and answered Chen Nanxi with a gloomy expression: "Mom, I'm very tired now, shall we chat later?"

Chen Nanxi looked at the tiredness on his son's face, realized what might have happened, and nodded quickly: "Okay, okay, you go upstairs to rest first."

"See you later, Mom."

After speaking, Kang Zhier pulled up his suitcase and walked towards the stairs without saying a word.

Behind him, Kang Zhongrong and Chen Nanxi looked at each other, looking troubled.

Kang Zhier returned to his bedroom, did not rest immediately after taking a shower, but sat quietly on the bed, waiting for something.

Not long after, his cell phone rang.

Kang Zhier closed his eyes, and when the soreness in his eyes subsided, he picked up the phone.

"Hey."

When he heard the voice of Elvis from afar on the phone, Kang Zhier truly realized that the two of them had separated.

Kang Zhier closed his eyes for the second time, and adjusted his emotions in a deep breath, so that he could remain calm and talk to Elvis.

"Xiao Zhi, where are you?" Elvis asked him on the other end of the phone.

Listening to Elvis' voice, Kang Zhier could clearly imagine in his mind that Elvis couldn't find him after waking up in the morning.

He cleared his throat and answered Elvis, "Elvis, I'm home."

Hearing his answer, Elvis was quiet on the other end of the phone for a moment before asking him, "Did something happen?"

"No." Kang Zhier said bluntly.

After this answer, Elvis' silence was prolonged.I don't know how much time has passed, but Kang Zhier heard Elvis' soft voice from the phone: "Xiaozhi, are you leaving?"

Kang Zhier suppressed the discomfort in his throat, and answered Elvis: "Yes."

After he finished, Elvis fell silent again.

Kang Zhier felt that he could not let Elvis speak anymore.The questions that Elvis couldn't ask should be answered by him.

"I'm sorry, Elvis," Kang Zhier told Elvis guiltily on the phone, "I still can't celebrate your birthday with you this year."

In fact, although Elvis did not reveal it, Conchier knew of his intention to take himself to Windsor.

The longer he stayed with Elvis at Lake Gardens, the more Elvis worried that he would leave.

The man they almost never talked about was the most difficult obstacle for Elvis to overcome.

And what Elvis can do is to take him to another place in private to celebrate a birthday that belongs only to the two of them.Fight for this last chance to keep him.

Kang Zhier saw Elvis' heart clearly.It is precisely because of this that he cannot continue to be ambiguous with Elvis.

After he finished speaking, Elvis answered him calmly.The tone was too gentle, it sounded as if he was comforting Kang Zhier.

"It's okay to be small, I don't like birthdays anyway."
