Manhattanhenge

Su Hui pushed open the door forcefully.

The scene inside made Ning Yixiao freeze in place.He is like a person who never believed in fairy tales, suddenly fell from the muddy reality into Alice in Wonderland, and broke into a dream.

The factory looks so ordinary from the outside, but there are many exquisite works of art inside - this is the word that Ning Yixiao immediately thought of, even though he has never really felt art.

For more than [-] years, I have been barren, miserable, hard to breathe, and almost lost the ability to appreciate beauty.

But here, there are a lot of works of art, just like Su Hui who broke into his vision for the first time, impacting his life.

"Did you do all this?"

Passing through a thin and overlapping huge wave, he looked at Su Hui.

Su Hui nodded and whispered, "Do whatever you want."

He became a little shy, with his hands behind his back, walked to the side of "Sea Waves", squatted down and turned on a button, suddenly the wind blew up, and the designed and arranged fans agitated "Sea Waves", creating tides smoothly The effect of advancing layer by layer.

"The sea at the door is made by me. I like the sea very much, but I haven't really seen it yet." Su Hui shrugged with a smile, "They don't allow me to go out, and they don't like to take me on long trips."

"So you made one yourself."

Ning Yixiao looked up, looking at the blue textured tulle, the fixed folds, each raised top was dotted with gold powder, just like real sparkling waves, undulating freely in the wind.

"Yes." Su Hui smiled and looked at the work together with him, "But it may not look like it, I did it according to the picture, I did it several times, and I searched for many kinds of materials, it may still not be accurate. "

Ning Yixiao thought of the sea he hated seeing as a child, the terrifying sea, only at noon in summer, when the sun was shining, it would be so beautiful, just like what Su Hui did.

What he creates is the most beautiful sea, so beautiful that he can tolerate all shortcomings.

"Very similar." He said with a smile, "very beautiful."

These words seemed to light up a dark corner of Su Hui's heart, and he felt warm and safe.

This was the first time he brought someone other than his grandmother to his secret base. He was very nervous and afraid that Ning Yixiao would not understand.

Su Hui felt like an ignorant child. When he had a crush on a person, he was eager to hand over his diary to the other person, hoping to be understood and completely dissected.

Ning Yixiao carefully watched each work, and even maintained a very polite appreciation distance, which made Su Hui more happy.He was a little excited and spoke much faster.

"This is a planet made of glass." Su Hui explained to him, with some cute little gestures, "For a while, I picked up some discarded glass products every day, and many of them were broken. Then smash them into pieces, paint them yellow with colorant, and glue them together to form a hollow sphere with a light bulb inside and a ring of LED tubes around the sphere, you see."

With that said, Su Hui turned on the button, and the lights inside and outside turned on at the same time, and the planet made of broken glass was extremely bright, as if it was really star-studded.

"Is it very similar to Saturn?" He looked at Ning Yixiao.

Ning Yixiao stared at the planet, paused, then turned to look at Su Hui, and his gaze finally fell on his hand.

"Did you get hurt doing this?"

Su Hui was stunned for a second, he never thought that Ning Yixiao would have such a reaction, which made him feel strange, so he shook hands nervously.

No one has ever asked such a question.

Ning Yixiao stared at his fingers and knew the answer. He turned his head, admired the work intently, and gave feedback, "It's very beautiful. It's the most beautiful planet sculpture I've ever seen."

"But next time protect the good guy," he added.

"Oh." Su Hui smiled with her pursed lips, led Ning Yixiao to move on, and corrected him, "This is not sculpture, but installation art. I do both, but I don't have any professional education."

"You can try." Ning Yixiao blurted out, but suddenly thought of what Su Hui said, he couldn't choose the major he wanted to study, and couldn't help feeling pity.

He didn't understand why a person like Su Hui, with such a superior background, would be so unfree.

My own lack of freedom stems from the lack of material, from the fate that is not good enough, there is no way to change these, it has been decided from the moment of birth.

But Su Hui is different, and it shouldn't be like this.

Su Hui didn't know what was going on in his mind, and was still imagining the possible bright future, "Actually, I secretly looked at many schools that are very good at this major.

Hope my illness stabilizes soon and then I can convince them to let me study, I really want to get out of here and do what I want to do. "

Ning Yixiao wanted to say yes, but felt that this seemed too light, like deliberate flattery. In fact, he knew it was not easy, but he was unwilling to puncture Su Hui's hope.

After a moment of silence, he changed the subject, "How did you find this place? Has your family ever been here?"

Su Hui smiled, and shook her head obediently, "This is my 16th birthday present from my grandmother, a place that no one else can find."

He shook the key in his hand, "No one has been here except her."

"No." Realizing that he had made a mistake, Su Hui immediately changed his words, "Today my secret base welcomes a new guest."

He stood still, showing a gentleman's smile, and stretched out his arms, like a little prince in a fairy tale, "Welcome."

It was difficult for Ning Yixiao to describe his mood at this moment, as if all the good things in the world happened at the same second, it was too good to be true.

In addition to the huge waves and planets, there are also many small installations. Su Hui introduced them one by one, from "melting sunflower" to "storm of colorful balls", everything is exquisite, cute and full of creativity.

He speaks very fast, with a different activity and excitement than usual, like a little rabbit leading the way in a fairy tale, his every move reveals innocence.

Suddenly, Su Hui seemed to see something, excitedly pulled Ning Yixiao's wrist, pointed to a small device in the corner, and led him to trot over.

"Ning Yixiao, this is my refuge."

Su Hui would always call him very solemnly and sincerely, panting and smiling, making Ning Yixiao not hate the name so much at this moment.

But he couldn't look directly at Su Hui's smile, so he had to go to see his works and try his best to be an attentive viewer.

The shelter that Su Hui was talking about was more like a big cocoon made by sticking together waste paper. The outside was covered with thick snow-white silk threads. It looked expensive, but the inside was cheap.

All the waste paper was painted blue, and the paint was faintly fluorescent.

Su Hui said that he designed it for himself. Whenever he was unhappy, he would try to get in, as if his life had returned to the starting point, and he would return to that little embryo, which was very safe.

As he spoke, he pushed aside the silk thread and really got in, curled up inside, looked out with his head half down, his eyes were soft and pitiful.

"Ning Yixiao, do you want to come in and try?" He stretched out a hand.

For some reason, Ning Yixiao's first reaction was to refuse, "There doesn't seem to be much space inside."

He felt that it shouldn't be him.

But Su Hui said firmly, "I want you to come in."

He struggled in his heart for a while, and finally succumbed to Su Hui's animal-like eyes, and squeezed into his refuge, his warm and safe cocoon.

The space is indeed not big, Ning Yixiao curled up as imagined, squeezed beside Su Hui.

They are incomparably close, the curves of every edge of the body almost completely touch each other, there is no distance.

He occupies part of Su Hui's sense of security.

The blue waste paper cocoon shone faintly on Su Hui's fair face, fluorescent blue, as if they were in the smallest and smallest aquarium in the world, where there were no sharks, no beluga whales, only each other.

"Is it very safe, the feeling of being wrapped?"

Su Hui looked at the top of the cocoon, put his arm against Ning Yixiao's, and stared quietly, "As long as I am sad, I will hide in and pretend that I am actually a bug egg and have never seen the world. Be a It's really hard to be an adult who doesn't make mistakes all the time."

Ning Yixiao looked at him, lost for a moment.

He saw a free exhibition, but felt that the value was above everything else, so high that he became clear that it didn't belong to him, and he couldn't afford it.

"Yes." Ning Yixiao couldn't help admitting, "It's so difficult."

Su Hui turned her face away with a smile, with a trace of innocence on her face.

"Ning Yixiao, thank you for taking me in."

When their eyes met, his heart skipped a beat.

"I don't know how to describe the feeling of you being with me. It seems that I can't express it clearly, so I want to bring you into this cocoon and let you try it."

In the small refuge, surrounded by dim light, Su Hui looked at him with gentle eyes, and when he spoke, the pink nails between his lips and teeth were faintly visible, like some kind of magnificent omen.

"That's it, it's safe."
