private island

Fan Xi took the subway, changed once, and arrived at a residential area after six o'clock.This is his new part-time job. Every Wednesday and Saturday in the future, he will come here to teach karate.

"Hello, Teacher Fan." The girl greeted him shyly as soon as she entered the door, and he responded with a smile.

Sister Juan, the hostess of the house, lives alone with her children, her elder brother is in the first grade of junior high school, and her younger sister is in the fifth grade of elementary school.Sister Juan is a dancer, and there is a practice room at home, which happens to be used as a teaching venue.

Last week, Sister Juan took her child to sign up at the Children's Physical Fitness Center where Fan Xi works, but her sister kept her head down, unwilling to study with other children.Later, Fan Xi caught up with them and recommended himself, taking this private job into his pocket.Each class is 90 minutes and the fee is three hundred.

Both siblings are very polite, and the younger sister is a fan of Guan Sheng.However, she didn't recognize at all that the humble karate teacher in front of her was the one who drifted on an isolated island with her idol.

Compared to a ten-year-old fan like Fan Xi, she is just a newcomer.She said that because Guan Sheng's appearance is no longer perfect, and she is very strong and open-minded, that's why she attracted passers-by to turn her fans.

She is withdrawn and introverted, and most of her left face is covered with black and blue birthmarks.Several boys called her the blue-faced beast every day, and asked her when she would go to Liangshan.

A while ago, when the Chinese teacher told the story of "outsmarting the birthday card", those bad boys kept making noises, and she was so angry that she determined to learn a kung fu and beat them down.

"Teacher, I want to learn that kind of one-hit kill." After the class started, the younger sister said quietly with her head hanging halfway, her neck-length short hair covering her left face.

The thin elder brother also shook his fist viciously: "Teacher Fan, you teach me first, and when I have learned it, I will deal with those little bastards."

Fan Xi didn't talk about the principles of "self-cultivation and self-cultivation, and when you become stronger, you will naturally ignore them", but demonstrated the so-called "nirvana skills" such as self-sacrificing skills, two-stage kicks, and turning around kicks.

Amid the admiration of the siblings, he smiled softly: "Isn't it amazing? Haha, it will take a long time to learn."

The two were immediately excited, and practiced from the basic movements after warming up.The twilight outside the window is getting thicker, and the colorful sunflowers in the small garden are gathering their petals, waiting for the next dawn.

Suddenly, the younger sister yelled: "Ah! Teacher, there is a pervert outside the window!" Then she hid behind her brother.

Fan Xi hurriedly approached the window, only to see a tall man wearing a baseball cap outside the garden, who was secretly peeping there under the cover of flower vines.

This person is wearing loose sportswear, his face is hidden in the shadows, and his age cannot be seen for a while.Seeing his whereabouts revealed, he turned around and left as if nothing had happened.

Doubts arose in him.When he came, he felt that someone was following him, but he didn't think much about it.Before leaving, he told Sister Juan about the matter, and she curled her red lips disdainfully: "It's okay, don't worry, it might be my ex." However, she still locked the door under his instructions.

The night was sweltering, like wrapping yourself in a plastic sheet.

After leaving the community, Fan Xisai put on his earphones, and ate while walking with a bag of laver.When crossing the road, I glanced sideways inadvertently, and there was a figure in a hat in the distance!Seeing him looking over, the man pretended to make a phone call.

Looking at the opponent's stature, his heart skipped a beat. He already had the answer, but he wasn't sure.After crossing the road, he continued to walk, then quickly walked into an alley, and hid beside the door stack of a small shop.

Ten seconds later, the man chased after him, looking around in a daze because he had lost his target, and muttering in wonder.

"Hey." He whispered softly, his nasal cavity sore, he was overjoyed, at a loss and confused for a moment.In the earphones, his favorite "Unreachable" just happened to sound. It was quite funny to add BGM to this scene.

The man looked back in astonishment, looked at the shadow where he was, and adjusted his hat frequently because of nervousness.The two long legs moved around a few times, and finally approached slowly, waved his hands, and said, "Hi."

Silence, a long, awkward silence.

In the past, they could talk endlessly as soon as they opened their eyes, but now they can only stare blankly at each other.Thousands of words were stuck in his throat, and he was unable to speak in a mess.

Fan Xi really didn't know what to do, so in order not to look so dull, he lowered his head and ate a piece of rice wrapped in seaweed.Chewing something, I feel a little more comfortable, and it's really delicious to make it myself.

"You made it?" Guan Sheng approached without words, picked up a piece and stuffed it into his mouth, "Well, it's delicious, and there's also meat floss. How much do you sell for a box?"

"Ten for the original flavor, twelve for the floss, and fifteen for the most expensive tuna."

"It's not expensive, at least thirty bucks in the store."

After finishing speaking, Guan Sheng's handsome eyebrows stretched out into a smile, and Fan Xi also smiled.The atmosphere was a little more relaxed, but it still weighed heavily on his body, as if he had fallen into some kind of viscous liquid.

Silence struck again.

In order to relieve the suffocation, Guan Sheng ate the kimbap one by one, and at the same time secretly observed Fan Xi's expression... There was no expression.

It turned out that when the ingredients and seasonings became richer, this kid made things with this taste.Off the island, they never lived together.

there has never been.

He didn't know which takeaway Fan Xi liked to order, what kind of shampoo and toothpaste he used.Do you wake up when the alarm goes off, or wait another 5 minutes.They used to be each other's everything, but outside the isolated island, they had no intersection.

How to bring up the past with dignity?Should I first apologize for the unscrupulous words in that quarrel, or talk about Su Pan, or clarify the rumor that I once slept with a young model in a nightclub?

They have been separated for a long time, so long that no matter how they do the foreshadowing, they will still appear to be deeply trapped in it.Forget it, let's talk about something.Because he wanted to save face, he had already missed too much.

Why are you still eating...

Fan Xi watched the dinner being eaten, endured hunger and threw the empty box into the trash can, then handed the man a wet towel to wipe his hands, and took the initiative to break the silence: "Brother Sheng, why are you following me?"

"Hmm... I want to tell you something." Guan Sheng pondered, and suddenly took off his earphones, stuffed them into his ears, and raised the corners of his mouth, "You're listening to my song, you haven't taken off your fans."

"What's the matter, even if we separate, I'm still your fan." Fan Xi snatched back the earphones and put them into the charging case.It felt like a secret thing was being exposed in public, and I felt inexplicably ashamed, "What's the matter?"

Guan Sheng answered irrelevantly: "You are really busy. The announcement schedule is fuller than mine. Is there anything else to do next?"

"Go home and change clothes, and go to work as a substitute driver." Fan Xi paused, and then added, "However, I work part-time and occasionally do things in my spare time. I fish for three days and post on the net for two days. Since you asked me I have something to do, so I won’t go today.”

He guessed that the man had found his purpose, and he probably guessed it, but he couldn't believe it.People in the world interact with each other for nothing more than seeking money, sex, and love.I have no money or sex, only old love.

Guan Sheng looked around awkwardly and asked, "Where do you live now? Let's go and sit at your place."

"It's inconvenient for you to share a room with someone else, so let's talk about it here." Fan Xi said flatly, walked to the depths of the alley, and stopped under an old locust tree.

The mottled tree shadows are a natural mosaic.

He took off his hat, fanned it with the brim, and tried to be as composed as possible.It's just that he didn't know that his hairstyle looked like it had been bombed.

Guan Sheng followed and smoothed his hair with a smile, "My brother is back, stay with me, or you can go to my house."

Fan Xi curled the corner of his mouth, did not speak, and slandered: Just pretend, even if your brother didn't come back, you wouldn't take me to your house.

"Let's get down to business!" Guan Sheng also took off his hat and said seriously, "Didn't there be a rumor two years ago that I slept with a young model in a nightclub? I really didn't. You are my most special fan, I I want to clarify with you face to face, lest you be disappointed in me."

"I know you don't." Fan Xi stared at the scar, time can smooth everything, but it is still the same as when we separated.It's so stubborn, Guan Sheng must have tried his best, but he couldn't get rid of it completely.

He is no longer angry, no longer sad, just a little nostalgic for the past.I often play with the tableware made of shells and the pool water in the perfume bottle.

The water was still clear.

However, when the pipe sound came out of the ubiquitous advertisements, drilled out of the earphones, and stood alive in front of his eyes, he felt deeply confused.Like a boulder falling into a calm pool, everything suddenly becomes restless and turbid.

After a long time, that beautifully shaped mouth struggled to utter a sentence: "I want to apologize to you. Sorry, I said a lot of things that hurt you that day."

"Which day?" Fan Xi raised his eyebrows and smiled, and said in a relieved tone, "Is it the day you say I'm not good enough for you, or the day you want to sue me for defamation?"

"I..." Guan Sheng's nimble tongue immediately became knotted, and the roots of his ears were red as if he had been slapped, "I mean the former, and the latter will be discussed later, that's another matter."

Fan Xi slowly suppressed his smile, his expression became serious: "You didn't beat me or scold me, you just told the truth in your heart, there is nothing to apologize for."

"That was just angry talk, I never thought about it that way."

"Brother Sheng, you..." He couldn't help shaking his head, "Forget it, what else do you want to say to me?"

Guan Sheng paced back and forth, circling the hat with his fingers, pondered for a while and then said again: "I know you are married."

Fan Xi was slightly taken aback, looked away, and said "hmm".

"Su Pan is terminally ill. You married her to take care of her, didn't you?"

He said "hmm" again.

Guan Sheng touched his nose, let out a helpless chuckle, pretending to be relaxed and said: "Others learn from Lei Feng and just shout slogans, you seem to be pierced by Lei Feng's soul, silly boy."

"Brother Sheng, don't make fun of other people's family affairs." Fan Xi frowned, his face slightly cold, "My wife just died of illness, and I buried her in my cemetery with my own hands. I know you don't know her, but she too Your fans, I hope you can respect our couple."

Husband and wife... This title, which represents the most intimate relationship, made Guan Sheng feel as if he had been hit in the head, and his expression was condensed into a shell on his face, like a dried clay puppet.

"Sorry, sorry. I didn't know she had... I didn't mean to." With his eyes half-down, his expression showing shame, he began to say some comforting words awkwardly.Before, he had been worried about Fan Xi's condition, but today he saw that his expression was normal, so he made a joke.

But in the deepest part of his heart, in an extremely dark corner, at the moment when he learned of Fan Xi's widow not long ago, there was a hint of joy in his heart.He would never tell anyone, not even himself in the mirror.This despicable thought is as obscene and hateful as a cockroach, but it can't be killed.

"Are you married?" He spit out a few words quickly, fearing that he would speak slowly, so he swallowed them back.After that, he lowered his proud head and waited for an answer.

"I love her. She is my best friend and my family. She was hospitalized, received chemotherapy, gave up emergency treatment, issued a death certificate, cremated, collected ashes, and buried...all of which were signed by me." Fan Xi's eyes were clouded. With a layer of tears on her face, her voice was hoarse and trembling, "But, I never had any unreasonable thoughts about her, even for a moment. I know, you don't believe in pure friendship between opposite sexes. You haven't seen it, Doesn't mean it doesn't exist."

"Okay, okay, don't cry, I see it now, it's so pure and great." Guan Sheng heaved a sigh of relief while being heartbroken, coaxing, fumbled hurriedly on his body, and took out a slightly wrinkled paper from his trouser pocket. The napkin is handed over.

"I didn't cry!" Fan Xi opened his hand stubbornly, "It's your spittle that sprayed my eyes!"

"I'm not that good, and I'm not a peashooter." Guan Sheng was silent for a moment, and seeing that Fan Xi had calmed down, he asked, "Her illness cost a lot of money, right? Why don't you use the card I gave you?"

"Because, I won't give you the slightest chance to look down on me." Fan Xi said carefully, looking over calmly, with one hand covering his stomach, as if he was so angry that he had stomach cramps.

These words were like an awl, piercing straight into Guan Sheng's heart.

In the past, he secretly felt that the people in front of him made him appear "depreciated".Now it seems that the one who has this kind of thinking is the one who really loses value, and Fan Xi is clearly a priceless treasure.

But he lost the baby.
