Yamakawa

The sky was blue and the August sun was blindingly bright.

The leaves in the mountains rustled when they touched the leaves, and the sunlight fell from the gaps between the leaves, turning into tiny spots of light, which swayed when the wind blew.

Xie Qiujie casually sat on a step to rest.

The phone in my pocket vibrated again.

He took out his phone to unlock the screen, his light white fingertips were flushed, as if they were soaked in the heat of midsummer, but his face was cold.

Another news about his cheap brother.

[Xie Qiuri: Second brother, give me some money. 】

Xie Qiujie really had a cold face, with long eyelashes drooping down, and when his face was expressionless, there was a sense of world-weary indifference, making people unable to guess his emotions, as if the world had nothing to do with him.

The bottom two of the message are voices. Xie Qiujie long presses the screen to convert the voice to text.

I don't want to hear the cheap brother's voice.

But more importantly, Xie Qiujie is deaf, unable to hear the voices of this world, and usually communicates with people by reading his lips.

If you can't read lips, read text.

[Xie Qiuri: Really, I want this one this month. Didn’t I finish the college entrance examination a long time ago? I’ve been playing at home for a month. Squatting at home every day is not an option. My brothers all want to go out and play. , I also want to go outside and have a look, if you give me some money, I won't spend it indiscriminately. 】

Laughing to death, the college entrance examination in June.

You also know that you have been playing at home for more than a month, so why don't you care about your tuition fees.

[Xie Qiuri: Mom recently bought several pairs of plasters for her back pain. I am too embarrassed to ask Mom for more money. I just go out and play for a few days. It won’t cost too much. Besides, everyone else is going on a graduation trip, and I’m such an old man. Well, I can't have never been to anywhere except school. 】

The liar has never been anywhere, so why didn't he say this when he and his friends were riding around on a will-o'-the-wisp.

During the college entrance examination, his mother gave him money to eat and drink well to prepare for the exam. As a result, the day after the college entrance examination, he asked him for money and asked him to have dinner with friends.

Xie Qiujie frowned, a little annoyed.

【Xie Qiujie: I gave you one thousand last month. 】

【Xie Qiuri: You also said that it was last month. This is not my life, and second brother, you know, girlfriends are more expensive, and I can support two of them for 1000 yuan. 】

Xie Qiuri started dating in high school, and has had several girlfriends, always asking him for pocket money to support other people's wives.

[Xie Qiuri: Second brother, just give me some money, I will definitely need you to work and earn money in the future. 】

The scorching sun above his head seemed to be getting hotter and hotter.

It made Xie Qiujie a little more irritable, and the bad mood just now seemed to come back in an instant.

[Xie Qiujie: Ask Big Brother for it. 】

The eldest brother is strict, and Xie Qiuri dare not ask him for money because of trivial matters.

【Xie Qiuri: Don't worry, second brother, the eldest brother has already married, and his sister-in-law is in charge of the money. He can't afford any money at all, and he's been busy earning money for milk powder recently, so he definitely won't talk to me. 】

【Xie Qiuri: Second brother, I beg you, give me some money. 】

There are three brothers in the Xie family. The eldest brother is three years older than him, and the younger brother is five years younger. They are all about the same school age.

The family is too poor to provide for the three brothers to study. He is the second child in the family, and he has to respect the "old" and love the "young". His mother originally wanted him to work in a factory after graduating from junior high school to reduce the burden on the family.

But he didn't want to, he quarreled with his family, and insisted on finishing three years of high school because of his good grades to get a scholarship.

As a result, my younger brother went to junior high school again, and it happened that my hometown was planning to build a house, which was another huge expense.

Back then, Xie Qiujie looked at the grades he could get into the undergraduate course, and he didn't even have time to fill in the college entrance examination volunteers, so he hurried into the assembly line factory.

I worked in the factory for three years.

In the past few years in the factory, I worked non-stop mechanically every day, worked overtime, and worked two shifts, until one day I was sent to the hospital for hypoglycemia.

No one in the family knew about it. His mother only called him to tell him that it was time for his younger brother to pay his tuition again.

Xie Qiujie was only 18 years old back then, just like Xie Qiuri today, but it seems to be two completely different lives.

After saving some money, he finally resigned from the factory two years ago and came to work in Star City, making everything from scratch.

The phone vibrated non-stop, and Xie Qiuri was still chattering about sending messages.

After all, it means asking for money.

Xie Qiujie didn't want to entangle with him any longer, so he simply transferred 1000 yuan to him.

[Xie Qiujie: Don't ask me for money these few months. 】

After the cheap brother received the money, there was no news.

The sun was dazzling, and Xie Qiujie felt a little out of breath.

The whole world was so quiet that he couldn't even hear people talking as they passed him.

Too quiet.

So quiet that he hated the world, hated it all, hated all the realities he had to compromise.

A little sound is also good, he really wants to hear the sound of the wind blowing through the leaves.

He put away his phone and stood up, patted the dust on his pants, and continued to climb to the top of the mountain.

After a while, he reached the top of the mountain.

The sky was bright, with fluffy white clouds floating, and the trees on both sides were lush and green. He stood by the fence and looked into the distance.

In the distance, there are many high-rise buildings in the city, and the trees in the sandbar are lush, all of which are like a beautiful picture scroll unfolding in front of you.

Xie Qiujie let out a breath slowly, and the world-weariness and irritability in his heart seemed to ease with this breath, making him feel that the burden on him was not so heavy.

He just looked out at the scenery.

But he didn't know that someone was taking pictures of him with a camera not far away, which became the scenery in the eyes of others.

Xie Qiujie basked in the scorching sun for 10 minutes, his body was steaming, and he finally felt a little more comfortable and planned to go down the mountain.

As soon as he turned around, a man approached him with a camera.

The profile of the man's face is deep and three-dimensional, with sword eyebrows and star eyes, high brow bones, and a straight and straight nose.

The pupils of the eyes are a nice brown color, reflecting the warm light in the sun, and there is a sense of revival when he smiles, which is very warm.

Broad shoulders and narrow waist, tall and straight, the sun fell on him, obviously only wearing simple loose short sleeves and black trousers, but he showed a chic and unrestrained body.

With a smile on his face, the man said to him: "Hi brother, I am a photographer. I have been watching you for a long time just now, and I took a few photos of you without your permission. I would like to ask if you would mind?" mind."

"You can take a look," the man said, leaning over to show Xie Qiujie the photos in the camera, with a very familiar tone, "If you don't mind, can I save it, of course, if you need it, we can add a link I'll fix the photo and send it to you..."

Xie Qiujie doesn't like taking pictures.

Basically every time he takes a photo, he has a bad face, and he doesn't think there is anything worth remembering about his bad face.

He took a step back and said coldly without even looking at it: "Mind you, please delete it, thank you."

The man seemed to be stuck.

Reorganized the wording, smiled and continued: "You can take a look first before making a decision. You are actually very good-looking, the kind of good-looking with a light complexion, and you are very photogenic in the camera."

Xia Youqing was really moldy at home, so today he took his camera and went out to collect pictures. He was absent-mindedly taking photos of the sandbar in the distance.

When I was about to change the shooting location, I suddenly saw Xie Qiujie.

At that moment, all the sounds around him disappeared, and the surroundings became extremely silent.

In the years he traveled all over the world, he had seen many good-looking and handsome people, and Xie Qiujie was the only one who made him feel a little bit excited at first sight.

In fact, Xie Qiujie's appearance is not very amazing, and even a glance at it in the crowd will make people feel bland, like drinking plain water.

In fact, it is clear and sweet mountain spring water.

He has the standard three courts and five eyes, his facial features are small, his face is more white, his eyebrows are like blue daisy from distant mountains, and his eyes are as black as ink, revealing a sense of clarity.

Although the three-dimensionality is not high, it makes people look very comfortable. The harmonious beauty that Chinese classical aesthetics pays attention to is probably like this.

Like the mountains and rivers that Xia Youqing likes to photograph.

Xie Qiujie felt that his head was getting hot from the sun, and he was a little impatient.

The man seemed to feel his impatience, and his expression became a little gentle, pointing to the shade of the tree next to him, "We can go to the side to enjoy the shade, or I can invite you to drink tea, don't be so hasty to refuse, you can think about it again. "

Xie Qiujie: "..."

This guy seems to be a little socially obsessed.

Under the shade of the tree, Xie Qiujie and Xia Youqing sat on the stone bench.

Xia Youqing took out a bottle of mineral water from his bag and handed it to Xie Qiujie: "Drink some water, I haven't opened this water yet."

"Need not."

Xie Qiujie didn't answer, staring at Xia Youqing's lips.

It might be the heat, but Xia Youqing's lips are reddish and look soft.

Xia Youqing was touched by his gaze. It is very polite to look at the tip of the nose when others speak, but it always feels that Xie Qiujie's gaze seems to be lower than the tip of the nose.

It looks like... lips.

Xia Youqing suddenly felt a little embarrassed, and his heart beat slightly, so he coughed.

"That...it's like this. My name is Xia Youqing, and I'm a photographer. Just now when you were looking at the scenery, I had an occupational disease and sent some photos. I wanted to ask you for an authorization."

He held the camera in front of Xie Qiujie and asked Xie Qiujie to look at the photos, "Actually, the photos are not bad, and you are also very good-looking. I hope you can take a look and think about it. It's not too bad to go out to climb the mountain as a souvenir. "

He spoke with sincerity.

Xie Qiujie was moved by him by accident, looking at the photos in the camera.

Under the bright blue sky, he was wearing a simple white T-shirt. His skin was white and translucent under the sun, and his eyebrows and eyes were soothing, as clear and clean as mountain spring water.

There are also details showing a slightly sunburned face, sweat on the forehead, light white knuckles, slightly convex butterfly bones, fine bangs, and clear eyes.

Xie Qiujie seemed to know himself for the first time, and he even felt that the person in the camera was not himself.

His heart moved, and he lowered his head slightly, his thin bangs covering his eyes.

In the end, he said quietly: "Let's delete it."

"what?"

Xia Youqing didn't understand, he thought the other party would change his mind after seeing it, but he was obviously amazed when he saw the photo.

"Little handsome guy? It's really deleted. If you don't feel satisfied, I can retake it." Xia Youqing was a little unwilling to give up. He really liked the feeling of Xie Qiujie.

"No, quite satisfied." Xie Qiujie said.

Then, Xie Qiujie didn't seem to have any intention of explaining why.

Xia Youqing can only delete it.

"Brother, are you interested in being a model?" Xia Youqing said again, "I'm taking portraits recently, and you look special to me. If you're not busy with work, you can come and try to be my model. The wages are higher than the market price."

salary?

I'm a little bit excited, Xie Qiujie thought wearily.

He watched the photographer take out another business card, "This is my business card, if you change your mind, you can contact me."

Xie Qiujie looked paralyzed with a blank expression: "Sorry, my facial nerves are paralyzed, you should find someone else."

Xia Youqing: "..."
