Balancing

This city is like this. As long as it does not rain, whenever the sun rises along the coastline and a piece of warm yellow sun shines down, the sea will reflect countless twinkling lights. The whole harbor is like a ring embedded in a ring. A gem, beyond beauty.

On a sunny Sunday, Jian Ming got up early in the morning, went to the gym for two hours of exercise, sweated profusely, and became much clearer. In the middle, he received a call from Weidong, saying that he wanted to make an appointment. The words were full of complaints about his neglect of his brother.

After returning home, he took a shower, put on a pair of khaki slacks, which he seldom wears these days, and a white V-neck knitted jumper, and was about to leave for Weidong’s car dealership. Jiang Luchuan, who was sitting in the living room reading a newspaper, looked up and saw Jian Ming, dressed in this way, seemed to see him as a refreshing young man when he was in college, and sighed, "You are very energetic, have a date?" After speaking, he smiled tentatively.

It's time for this kid to start a family and start a career, Jiang Luchuan suddenly felt the need to care about him.

Jian Ming smiled back embarrassedly, "Dad, the appointment is with old classmate Wei Dong."

"Oh, are all your classmates married?" Jiang Luchuan was indeed a little disappointed.

"Well, the second child is about to be born." As if afraid of being asked something, he hurriedly added, "He married early."

"It's good to get married early, get married early and focus on your career, and there is someone to help you. You, after studying for so many years, you haven't seen you kidnap a girlfriend back, eh? You haven't met a suitable one in the United States?" Now that this has been mentioned, Jiang Luchuan didn't miss the opportunity, so he just followed the words and asked.

Jian Ming pretended to look at his watch, and said perfunctorily, "It's about fate." While picking up the car keys on the shoe cabinet, he changed his shoes, "Dad, it's getting late, I'm leaving first." Opening the door It disappeared before Jiang Luchuan's eyes.

"Stinky boy, you're still playing tricks on me." Jiang Luchuan shook his head with a smile, and complained to himself, thinking in his heart, it's time to pay attention.

On the way to Weidong, the timer phone rang on time, and Jian Ming curled his lips to connect to the car call.

"Officer Lu, it's quite on time." Maybe Jian Ming didn't know it, but whenever he talked to Officer Lu, his eyebrows and eyes were either rising or ready to rise at any time, without exception.

"Hey, I just ran two laps, and I'll call you when I get back."

"Really? What a coincidence, I also went to the gym this morning, and you usually only run?" Jian Ming laughed to himself. Is this because you are holding back your energy for a fight tomorrow night?

"Do you go to the gym? Which one?" Lu Heng's most prominent advantage in life is that he can focus on the key points.Although occasionally caught wrong, but never let go.

Jian Ming laughed, "I'll ask you first."

"Oh, normally it's [-] pull-ups, [-] push-ups, plus running every day." Lu Heng is obedient, he doesn't dare to disobey Jian Ming, and he has already answered every question.

"Just doing pull-ups on the equipment on the frame of your bedroom door?" Jian Ming thought that every time he went to his house, the bedroom door would not close tightly.

"Well, that's the one. Mingming, where are you exercising? How about I get a card too, it's so annoying to exercise at home." Is it because you are unhappy?Jian Ming felt that this reason was too insincere.

"Haha, you've got it. You'll practice when you return to the team. Don't mess around."

Thinking of going back to the team to test shooting after the Mid-Autumn Festival, Lu Heng suddenly stopped worrying about the gym, mainly because he heard Jian Ming's hearty laughter, which made him more forgetful.

"Where are you? Home?" Lu Heng asked.

"No, I'm going to find Weidong. I'm driving." Jian Ming turned the steering wheel and drove into the parking lot behind the garage. "It's here, I won't chat with you anymore, hang up first."

Lu Heng only said hello, Jian Ming hurriedly ended the line, and he was not to blame. As soon as he drove into the parking lot, he saw Wei Dong standing at the side entrance, staring at him and his Land Rover slowly. Driving in, the appearance is as kind as waiting for a married daughter to return home.

"How is it? I'm not bragging about this car. It drives smoothly?" Wei Dong greeted Jian Ming who was walking towards him, and Wei Dong couldn't wait to ask about the after-sales experience.

"Very good, your own child, don't you understand?" Jian Ming teased.

"Hey, that's, mainly because I'm too good for you."

Wei Dong invited Jian Ming into the office, and began to fix his Kung Fu tea set again.He was not idle while making tea, "Don't slip away at night, you have been back for so long, and you haven't gone to my house for dinner, and you have never seen my son."

"Okay, the red envelopes are all ready." Jian Ming cherishes this good friend who misses him from time to time. For so many years, as always, he will remember to call him to greet him during the New Year and holidays. The good brother Wei Dong of the year.

"Why don't you say that you scholars have a lot of rules? What kind of red envelopes are you giving? How old is the kid, and you haven't married a wife." Weidong today soaked oranges with a strong aroma of tangerine peel and fruit. Considering dinner It will be very rich, and the tea in the afternoon is just right for the taste.He moved the brewed tea to Jian Ming, "My brother-in-law just brought it from Guangdong last week, try it."

"En, thank you." Jian Ming took a sip of tea, raised his eyebrows and nodded approvingly. "What kind of tea is this? It smells so good."

"Hey, I knew your kid would like this one, isn't it fruity and sweet?"

Jian Ming nodded repeatedly, "Yes, it's fruit tea?"

"No, it's called tangerine puer, and some people call it tangerine peel puer. This kind of high-quality tangerine puer is not bitter and has a sweet aftertaste." When it comes to tea, Weidong is in high spirits, quite like a person in the tea ceremony Professionalism.

"Well, that's right. I'll find you later when I buy tea. I really understand."

"That must be fine, you don't need to buy it, just tell me what kind of tea you want to drink." He took out a boxy gift box from under the coffee table and handed it to Jian Ming. "No, take this box of citrus pudding back and drink it. Remember to put it in boiling water when soaking it. It will take five seconds. It's very convenient."

"Then I won't be polite." Jian Ming usually doesn't treat Wei Dong politely, he can be regarded as a family friend, so he accepts it openly.Wei Dong gave him a smiling look of "what are you being polite to me", and continued to pour tea into his cup.

The two drank tea and chatted for a while, when Jian Ming suddenly remembered something.

"By the way, Dongzi, I have something to ask you."

"What's the matter?" Seeing Jian Ming's suddenly serious tone, Wei Dong subconsciously sat up straight.

"Do you still have contact with Leng Feng?"

Weidong stopped pouring the tea, and almost lost his grip on the cup.

Ever since I bumped into him and Leng Feng kissing on that bright afternoon in college, after more than a week of psychological adjustment, I slowly accepted the fact that he was gay, and then also accepted the sharp existence of Leng Feng, The three of them spent a lot of time together during those two years, and became acquainted with Leng Feng.

"Um... Yes, I will contact you occasionally, but it's quite rare, quite rare." Wei Dong had a premonition that Jian Ming seemed to know that Leng Feng had come to inquire about him, so he spoke carefully.

"Don't be burdened, I don't mean anything else, I know he has looked for you, it's just..." Jian Ming clasped his hands and carefully organized his words. "I can't understand him now. I don't really want him to know about me, you know?"

"Hey, I understand, of course I won't talk nonsense. Last time he came to me and talked about you, I grunted carelessly, and he heard that you were back, but he asked me for your contact information. Life and death are not given." Wei Dong couldn't wait to express his position as if he wanted to prove something. "Actually, I thought about whether you and him are still possible, so I never avoided him, but you said that today, I will know what to do in the future, don't worry." After speaking, he patted Jian Ming on the shoulder .

"It's okay, it's my fault that I didn't remind you earlier, you don't need to deliberately avoid him, there's no need." Jian Ming smiled calmly. "It's impossible for me and him, and I don't want him to think that we all have some deliberate behavior towards him, causing misunderstanding."

"He...does he still like you?" Wei Dong asked tentatively.

"I don't know, and I'm not interested in knowing." Jian Ming lowered his head and took a sip of tea, without any emotional changes.

In the evening, they returned to Weidong's seaside viewing townhouse. The red setting sun in the sky passed through the Binhai Bridge, shooting beams of light woven with countless colored threads into the small garden in front of the villa.All the flowers and plants in the garden were dyed fiery red.

Jian Ming stood in the garden, and through the floor-to-ceiling windows, he saw Weidong, his mother, and a lovely little wife busy around the kitchen. The light and shadow in the room was warm yellow, harmonious and tacit with the sunset outside. They formed one body, and Jian Ming couldn't move his eyes from seeing it.

Such a happy picture.

If my parents were still there, and my younger sister was lively and sunny, the family of four would be the same as the picture in front of me, so warm that people can't move. The frame was fixed 16 years ago, but the younger sister is what she is now, just smiling brightly and beautifully, they are laughing and playing, and an extra figure flashes out of the screen at some point, with her muscular shoulders facing her back, A white t-shirt tightly wrapped the inverted triangle figure, he suddenly turned his head, laughing foolishly at himself.

Jian Ming flashed back, Lu Heng! ?I was shocked, have you already reached such a deep place in my heart?

"Uncle Jian, Dad called you in to eat." It was a clear and tender child's voice.

A quirky little guy opened the door and ran towards him.

"Jiajia, you're so good. Come on, take a picture with Uncle. Look how beautiful the sky is." Jian Ming rarely wanted to take a selfie. Maybe it was the impact of the scene of the happy family before. Inexplicable feelings, similar to 'envy'.

They grinned at their phones, one big and one small, with two rows of white teeth shining brightly in the fading sunset.

Lu Heng was looking for food in the small street downstairs at this time, the days without Jian Ming's company were the same as before he met him, but there was more expectation in his heart, and the time seemed less boring.

He was considering whether it was KFC or Shaxian snacks, when he received a WeChat message on his mobile phone.

Hey, what a cute selfie, which boy is this with?A watermelon ladle looks like the male version of Chibi Maruko. It was the first time that Lu Heng received a selfie sent by Jian Ming. Even if it wasn't a single person, it didn't affect his joyful mood at all.

[Weidong's son, isn't he cute] Jian Ming then sent another message.

[Cute] After thinking about it, I added a few words before sending it. 【you are cute too】

Waited and waited, but the other party didn't come back.He put away his phone resentfully, and was about to step into Shaxian snacks when a voice he didn't really want to hear sounded behind him.

"Senior Lu, long time no see."

Tian Kun.

Is this a meeting on a narrow road, or is it just for him?Lu Heng's rare good mood plummeted.

"Heh, it's you, what's the matter? You came to see Lao Tzu specifically?" Thinking of being beaten into the hospital by the person in front of him, he was furious.

Tian Kun remained calm and smiled calmly, "Don't be afraid, I won't beat you up again."

"Fuck, you're not disabled, that's my grandpa, I didn't have a chance to do it at the time, otherwise you think you still have a mouth to speak out here? I warn you, if you want to find trouble, let the horse come here. I don't have to be afraid, just hold back a finger. So it's your grandson." Lu Heng can say anything here, just don't be provocative with yin and yang.

"Senior Lu, your violent temper is really well-known both at home and abroad." Tian Kun approached a little closer, provoking even more sarcastically. "Just like you, how did you get admitted to the special police in the past when you would get into a fight after a few words? I'm surprised, did you really go through the back door? Relying on your uncle?"

I really want to fuck him.

He clearly knew that he was deliberately irritating himself, and it was his weakness to step on it all.But the uncontrollable itching of his fists made him want to greet him in the face.

No, you can't let him succeed.Lu Heng closed his eyes hard, then suddenly let go of his fist, swallowed, and forced himself to calm down.

"Tian Kun, why do you have something to say on your face? I'm also surprised. How could Sun Zhehao know such a yin and yang villain like you?"

Tian Kun's body froze, his eyes were so red that he could spit out fire, "You fucking shut up, you don't deserve to call him by his name."

"Tell me, who are you? Who is Sun Zhehao to you?" Lu Heng asked.What is the purpose of coming to Haiyang?Why on earth are you approaching me?The questions in my heart are lined up one after another.

Tian Kun was only a distance away from him, his body was as motionless as a statue, and he froze for several seconds before he uttered a voice without any ups and downs, "You don't deserve to know, coward."

"Hey, have you forgotten your mind in Guangzhou? Why can't you understand people's language?" Lu Heng was so angry that he was a little amused by the person in front of him in the end. It's really interesting. A child, how can there be people more stubborn than himself in this world? Ah, so amazing.

"you…"

"What are you, you will say that I am not worthy, right? Then we can't continue the conversation, no wonder you will only force me to do it..." Lu Heng squinted at Tian Kun and continued: "Call me a coward ? Actually you are."

Tian Kun was so excited that his body took several steps back, and his bloodshot eyes were covered with a thick layer of water vapor, as if a flood would burst out of the embankment in the next second.

Just when Tian Kun backed up and approached the middle of the street, a harsh sound of brakes resounded through the air.

"Come on, do you have eyes in the back of your head? Walk backwards?" A croaking person got out of the car and rushed towards Tian Kun who was almost hit by him.

This familiar voice...

Lu Heng took a closer look, Li Xiaohua was jumping out of his sister's red Mazda car, pulling up Tian Kun who was leaning on the hood of the car with his hands, with a panicked expression on his face.
