Followed

18.

The next day Bie Xu woke up very early, sitting by the window with his notebook in his arms typing, just finished writing the update when Wen Er pushed open the door and came out.

"Morning." Bie Xu closed the computer and greeted.

"morning."

Wen Er had already changed his clothes, a loose white T-shirt paired with black beach pants, and a pair of flip-flops on his feet, and responded energetically.

Bie Xu glanced at the striped shirt on his body, stood up with the computer in his hand, said, "Wait for me for a while." Then he went back to the room.

He opened the suitcase and rummaged for a long time, and when he opened the door again, he had already changed into an outfit similar to Wen Er's.

Bie Xu hooked his neckline, his eyes slipped past Wen Er, and he smiled with great satisfaction.

He picked up the breakfast coupon on the table and waved his hand: "Let's go."

It was still early, and there were already many people in the cafeteria. Most of them were wearing uniforms. It was probably a tourist group.

The two found a double seat and went to pick up their meals.

Bie Xu was holding a cup and was receiving soy milk, when he suddenly heard a hesitant sound from beside him: "Biesu?"

He turned sideways, and in front of him was a tall and thin man with a nervous expression.

Seeing Bie Xu's appearance clearly, the man raised his voice, "It's really you!"

Bie Xu looked at him for a moment, then nodded calmly: "Long time no see."

This reaction could be called indifferent, and the surprise on the man's face gradually subsided, revealing a trace of uneasiness and embarrassment.He collected himself, and when he spoke again, he pretended to be eager: "Long time no see...how are you doing recently?"

"It's been good."

When the soy milk was full, Bie Xu turned around and picked it up, obviously not intending to chat too much.

Seeing that he was about to leave, the tall and thin man was a little anxious. He stretched out his hand to stop him, but just as soon as he raised his arm, he put it down again.He ignored Bie Xu's inexperienced attitude, and sped up his speech to himself: "Our company is doing team building here, I really didn't expect to meet you..."

Bie Xu seemed to snort lightly, and interrupted in a cold voice: "It has nothing to do with me."

The man opened his mouth, wanting to say something, and someone not far away called out: "Wu Shuang, let's go!"

Wu Shuang looked back, the leader was no longer in the restaurant, a colleague stood at the door and waved to him, gesturing him to leave.

"It's my fault that I didn't know the seriousness of the previous incident..." Wu Shuang hesitated to start, seeing that Bie Xu didn't respond, there was a stalemate for a moment, and the other side was even more urgent.

"Are you here today? Let's talk again when we find time!" He had no choice but to say hastily, without giving any thought to the answer, and said "see you later." He turned and walked quickly towards the door.

After walking a few steps, he quietly and quickly looked back, and Bie Xu was no longer there.

After a long delay, Bie Xu took the soy milk back first.There was already a lot of food in front of Wen Er, and he sat down and waited for him for a long time.

"You just took a drink?" Wen Er was a little surprised.

"I just met someone I know and listened to him chat."

Bie Xu put down the cup, turned around to get something more, Wen Er pushed one of the plates in front of him: "I roughly picked some, you can eat first."

"Then I'll pick it up later when there's not enough." Bie Xu nodded and sat down.

He behaved a little unusually today, he talked a lot less, and he seemed a little silent.

"Did something happen?" Wen Er didn't want to pry into other people's privacy, but he thought he could be called Bie Xu's friend, hesitated again and again, and still couldn't help but ask with concern.

Bie Xu didn't hide it at all, and frankly expressed his dislike: "The person I met just now caused me a lot of trouble."

Wen Er pondered in his heart for a while, Bie Xu was by no means a person who liked to comment behind his back.He used the word "troubled" as euphemistically as possible, but it is conceivable that the real situation must be even more unbearable.

"Then forget about him, don't talk to him next time we meet!" Wen Er sees the people who are closest to him being wronged the most, and sometimes he will defend his shortcomings unreasonably.

When Wen Ya was in kindergarten before, when other children robbed her of her little red flower, he felt very distressed, even more angry than Wen Ya herself.Not to mention that now that Bie Xu was sitting opposite him, it seemed that the situation was calm, but in fact, every movement was filled with big "I'm not happy".

"That person is really annoying!" Wen Er didn't ask specific details at all, and opened his mouth to put a hat on a stranger.

I hate him again, and ignore him again.Hearing his childish remarks, Bie Xu was finally amused.Wen Er didn't know how to curse people at all, and tried to use tricks that even elementary school students would disdain.

"Okay, okay, just pretend I don't know him." Bie Xu raised the corners of his lips, and then turned to Wen Er, coaxing people very skillfully.

The sun was a little bit bright today, so Bie Xu went back to his room and took out a pair of sunglasses to put on. He glanced at the back of Wen Er's neck, paused, took out a tube of things from the box and threw it to him.

"Sunscreen?" Wen Er turned around and took it, recognized a pile of English for a long time, and threw it back, "I don't apply this kind of thing."

Bie Xu tapped his neck from the air: "You're already peeling from the sun."

Wen Er touched and rubbed the broken skin area, it was a little painful.But he didn't care too much. Looking at the tube of sunscreen, his face was full of resistance: "I never use these."

Bie Xu raised his eyebrows, what are "these"?He pursed his lips out of the window, motioned Wen Er to look at the scorching sun, and persuaded: "This is not a cosmetic, it's just used to protect the skin, and it has the same nature as shampoo and shower gel."

Seeing that Wen Er still refused to compromise, he couldn't help but squeeze a little, grabbed Wen Er's arm domineeringly, and quickly wiped his neck.

Wen Er's arm was caught, and he couldn't break free for a while. The back of his neck was caught off guard twice, and a layer of goose bumps immediately appeared.

Bie Xu's fingers moved back and forth, as if to smooth it out for him.Wen Er's whole body was stiff, only a small piece of skin was particularly sensitive. The cool lotion covered it, causing him to shrink back slightly, just as he touched Bie Xu's warm fingers.

"I'll do it myself." Wen Er struggled, took the sunscreen in a hurry, and covered his neck with the other hand.

Bie Xu let go of his hand and gave him a look of "Wouldn't it be better to do this earlier?", supervised Wen Er to put sunscreen on all exposed skin, then picked up the camera on one side, and walked out the door swaggeringly.

The two of them didn't plan to go into the water today, they strolled along the beach for a while, Bie Xu rented a deck chair, and nestled comfortably under the parasol to rest, while Wen Er was full of energy, squatting not far away to play with the sand.

He wrote on the beach, and when the waves came up, he jumped and hid, and when the waves receded, he hurried forward again to renew the strokes that were erased by the waves.

Wen Er wrote down his name first, then drew a heart, and wrote all the names of people he could think of behind.Wen Ya, parents, close elders, friends, respected teachers...Bie Xu.

After writing this, Wen Er paused his fingers, and a strange thought suddenly flashed in his mind.

The meaning of liking is too broad. In addition to being used to describe love, it is also applicable to family affection, friendship, and even just expressing goodwill.

Wen Er just took it for granted that other people appeared behind Love, but after listing a long list and writing about Bie Xu, he realized that the name was a bit special.

He read the string of words together and suddenly felt guilty.

Wen Er likes...Bie Xu.

He stared at the round heart and thought: Which category should this liking belong to?

Wen Er stared at the line for a long time, but didn't notice that the tide was coming up again.

He was still squatting on the ground, subconsciously dodged to the side, his center of gravity was unstable, and he fell to sit on the beach, and soon his pants were soaked.

Wen Er stood up in embarrassment, patted his buttocks, and glanced at Bie Xu quietly.

Bie Xu's eyes were hidden behind the sunglasses, and they were always glued to Wen Er's body.He watched Wen Er race against the waves, having a great time by himself, then he was dazed for some reason, and suddenly made a fool, it was so cute.

Noticing that Wen Er was looking at him furtively, he deliberately smiled exaggeratedly and waved over there.

Sure enough, Wen Er turned his head back with a "sigh", pretending that nothing happened just now.

Bie Xu realized that just looking at Wen Er like this made her feel extremely bright.

He got up and stretched his muscles, holding the camera, and walked slowly towards Wen Er.

Wen Er caught a glimpse of Bie Xu coming this way from the corner of his eye, and stood up "crazyly", his first reaction was to erase the name on the beach.

The tide had just risen, and the words on the ground were all washed away, and only a few strokes were left, so the original appearance could not be seen at all.

Wen Er still felt that it was not enough, so he rubbed the soles of his shoes repeatedly until the toes were covered with sand.

Biesu walked halfway, and suddenly stopped in his tracks.

He picked up the camera, and quickly snapped a few photos without waiting for Wen Er's reaction.

In the viewfinder frame, Wen Er stood very straight, with the rough sea behind him and the warm yellow sand in front of him.Wen Er was wearing a simple white T-shirt and beach shorts, with a calm face and gentle eyes.

This pose is very challenging, although it is simply standing, another person may be too stiff or too lazy to shoot.

But Wen Er grasped it well.

To be precise, he didn't put on such a pose on purpose, but he stood there casually, forming a landscape of his own.

Wen Er has a temperament between a boy and a man. At first glance, he looks very young, but he does not appear thin.He can skillfully balance innocence and sincerity with maturity and stability. The two contradictory personalities are placed on him, and they blend together perfectly, becoming the characteristics of "Wen Er".

If Bie Xu's indifferent and free-spirited demeanor comes from Qian Fan's precipitation after reading all of them, Wen Er seems to have learned to get along with this world early, but still behaves like he doesn't know much about the world.

Bie Xu looked back and forth over several photos, and was very satisfied with the finished product.

He secretly sighed in his heart, there is really no choice for the person he likes.

Wen Er was relieved to see that Bie Xu was only focused on looking at the photos and didn't pay attention to the words on the beach.

Halfway through this breath of relief, he was stunned belatedly: Why am I so worried about being seen by Bie Xu?

Are you afraid that Bie Xu will misunderstand when he sees the heart?What will he understand?I like him?

But writing down Bie Xu's name proves that at least subconsciously, he admits this liking.And he is never shy about expressing his love for others, on the contrary, he will express it as much as possible.

Wen Er felt as if he had touched a door faintly, and he was only short of a kick to see the world behind the door.

Now he is locked out of the door, exhausting all kinds of ideas, but hitting a wall again and again.

But maybe one day after entering the door, looking back, my struggle and confusion at the moment will become insignificant.

Thinking of this, Wen Er gradually felt relieved.He seldom digs into a dead end, and waits for time to solve problems that he can't figure out for a while.
