Sugar

For the next few days of the journey, the route follows the Baltic Sea all the way up.

After passing Riga, the capital of Latvia, we finally arrived at the end of the trip - Tallinn, the capital of Estonia on the Baltic Sea.

As the "crossroads of Europe", Estonia still retains the fairy-tale medieval architectural style.And because it existed as a vassal state of Tsarist Russia for a long time in history, both architectural style and cultural heritage reveal a strong St. Petersburg-like style.

"I read a book before." Cheng Che said while standing by the sea and blowing the wind.

"The background of World War II, the protagonist and his lover were separated in the flames of war, and then reunited in this city."

"Here? Is it so romantic!" Zhao Qingling looked at the foggy Baltic Sea in front of him, his eyes sparkled, "Where is the book, show it to me next time!"

Cheng Che smiled.

Zhao Qingling especially loves reading.There is obviously a whole wall of books at home, but he is always dissatisfied.

My eyes sparkle when I hear about an interesting new book.

In addition to books, this person also loves watching movies.

Obviously, the appearance gives the impression that it should be the type that likes to go out to nightclubs after get off work, but it is not the case.

Not only is Zhao Qingling completely calm, but he is also an unusual nerd by nature.

During the three months of dating, this person's favorite thing to do is to happily prepare dinner after get off work, cut up fruit, set up a small table and turn on the lamp.

Two people lean on the sofa together, play an old classic movie, turn on the most advanced surround sound effect, and then cuddle up to each other and relive it while eating.

……

The city of Tallinn is surrounded by the sea on three sides, and seagulls can always be seen everywhere.

There are also a variety of small hawker markets by the sea, selling reindeer fur, art oil paintings, local specialty coffee and candy, and a variety of self-brewed beer in large oak barrels.

When passing by, Zhao Qingling asked: "Cheche, do you want to drink kvass?"

Cheng Che quickly shook his head.

In his impression, that thing was too sweet to drink.

"It doesn't taste good? How come, what kind of drink are you drinking?"

"The kind that's bottled in the supermarket."

"Cheche," Zhao Qingling smiled, embraced him, rubbed his nose affectionately and triumphantly, "then you haven't really drunk kvass."

The kvass brewed in the barrel is indescribably rich and luscious.

It doesn't taste like the ones sold in supermarkets.

After Cheng Che drank a cup, he still couldn't get enough of it. He felt a pity that he would never have another drink when he returned home.Then he took out his phone again and started writing about food tweets.

This time, Zhao Qingling wasn't jealous like Popsicle was.

Instead, he smiled and waited for him to finish writing before asking him: "Do you like it so much? How about I brew it for you when I get home? I have learned it before, so I guarantee it will be exactly the same."

Cheng Che: "???"

"You can still make wine?"

"Well, when I was in the United States, a classmate's family opened a grape winery. I went to live in his house for two months during the summer vacation. If I had nothing to do, I would trample on grapes, make wine with bubble hops and so on. I will brew many kinds, and I will go back Give it all and try it, okay?"

Cheng Che: "..."

How can you do everything?Not only is he proficient in multiple languages, he even knows how to make wine!

The male god is really too masculine.

Cheng Che felt a little dizzy——

Such an excellent man, highly educated, rich, lively and cute, can do everything, although he secretly vowed to work hard to catch up, but what kind of old life will he have to work hard to catch up with?

……

Tallinn Lighthouse Pier.

The wide harbor is surrounded by a large expanse of the Baltic Sea.Two hours away by boat is Helsinki, the capital of Finland.Six to seven hours can reach St. Petersburg, Stockholm, Riga and other cities.

Many small private yachts from Russia, Finland, and Sweden will disembark from this port.

Next to the port is the unique "water port" museum in the world.Decommissioned warships and merchant ships of various specifications and forms can be visited on the bridge in person.In the fully open ship, visitors can even go down to the bottom mechanical layer and boiler layer to find out.

...Even a full-size decommissioned submarine is moored in the port.

As an ordinary man who owns a yacht at home and has no necessary interest in military ships, Zhao Qingling just thought "Hey, it's interesting~" when wandering around in it.

But next to him, a male mechanical controller in science and technology is different.

Cheng Che, a male mechanical controller in science and engineering, was about to go crazy with excitement.

When Mr. Cheng is going crazy with excitement, it is exactly the same as when he secretly likes someone—he will work very hard to restrain himself, not to show that emotion.

Just silently and sleepwalking into any corner of any room in the boat.Reach for every single wrench, screw, pipe and realistic loadout of weapons, ammo.

He didn't speak the whole time, just wandering around.

Quiet as a ghost.

If it weren't for Zhao Qingling's extraordinary talent and special observation...it's really a ghost to see how much this person likes these in his heart!

……

Facts have proved that Cheng Che is a person.

Once you like something in your heart, you really really like it.

Whether it's people or things, it's all the kind of obsessive, plunged into liking.

It was just a decommissioned submarine, but he lingered so much that he stayed in it for three hours!

This made Zhao Qingling Sensen feel that it seemed wrong for him to start a travel company - he should have started a large manufacturing company and let Cheng Che manage it.Every day I see Cheng Che not talking, just looking at the cute appearance of those mechanical equipment with bright eyes!

At noon, the two had a coffee and a light meal in the museum.

After eating, Zhao Qingling was a little sleepy, Cheng Che continued to go back to the ship museum, his eyes were dazed, and he tried to follow, holding back a hundred yawns.

In the end, I was so sleepy that I couldn't help it. I used the excuse to go to the bathroom, but I didn't come back for most of the day.

And Cheng Che, who was addicted to the mode, suddenly realized that Zhao Qingling had disappeared about three hours later.

My boyfriend disappeared, but I didn't know it!

Mr. Cheng was in a bad mood, and he was very nervous at first, thinking he must have squatted there again, but it turned out to be okay, as soon as he got off the deck, he saw Zhao Qingling——

Opposite the submarine is a piece of green land, and there is a very thick old tree on the green land.

At 03:30 in the afternoon, the sun was just right, mottled through the shadows of the trees, shining brightly all over the body.And Zhao Qingling just leaned against the tree trunk and fell asleep by himself.

The expression is very cute, like a baby.

Cheng Che walked up to him and gently pushed him. He didn't wake up, but his eyelashes moved slightly.

Little by little, the appearance is more cute.

Cheng Che couldn't help but took out his phone and secretly took a picture.Then keep shooting, and shoot again.

There was a breeze.

Cheng Che sat down beside Zhao Qingling, also leaning against the big tree.

The green grass exudes the freshly cut fragrance. He raised his head and looked at the blue sky and white clouds behind the tree shadows. He smelled the green grass, mixed with the faint fragrance of "Twilight" on Zhao Qingling's body.

Close your eyes slowly.

This time, he did not fall asleep or dream, but quietly recalled some past episodes.

When I was in high school, there was a similar small green space with an old tree between the two teaching buildings.There have been many, many times, during the afternoon recess, Zhao Qingling, who had eaten, also leaned against the tree trunk, drowsy on the greenery.

At that time, Cheng Che would secretly and secretly sit down beside him.

Quietly.Let the wind blow gently, and the white clouds floated overhead.

……

In high school, Zhao Qingling had good grades, cheerful personality, loyalty, and sparkled. No one didn't like him.

Moreover, he is a very interesting boy.

Cheng Che remembered that at that time, most of the boys in the class couldn't sit still during evening self-study, and often skipped class secretly.Even top student Zhao Qingling is no exception.

There is a low wall behind the school, which is the only way for boys to escape over the wall.

Later, that low wall got a name—it was Zhao Qingling who gave it the name "Mr. Einstein" because the shape of the damaged wall resembled Einstein's afro.

Next to "Mr. Einstein", there is also a crooked neck tree.Zhao Qingling also named it "Zhongqing".

The reason is that once, a buddy accidentally got stuck on that tree when climbing over the wall, and was finally caught by the principal. Zhao Qingling inexplicably thought of a word called "self-hanging southeast branch".

Even with the name of the hanging branch boy, he was called "Southeast" by everyone for two years.

Many people even forgot what his original name was. Ten years later, when he was mentioned in the class reunion, everyone was still "Brother Nan" and "Brother Nan".Obviously that person's name has nothing to do with the word "Southeast".

Zhao Qingling was not only fun back then.

Today, 29-year-old Zhao Qingling is still a very interesting person in life.

Zhao Qingling likes shopping online very much.

However, he is lazy, throwing things to Cheng Che to unpack after buying them, and even shamelessly euphemistically saying: "Look, Cheche, how nice it is to be with me."

"Everyday life is to be happy at home and unpack express delivery—the ultimate ideal of so many people across the country."

And every time I buy hairy crabs online and come back to steam them, I have to act out the birth and death parting first: "Crabs, don't die, don't you die! Please come back to life, crabs and crabs love me again!"

Then he tried his best to poke and poke the crab with his chopsticks, shaking the crab alive: "Great, it's alive!"

Put the steamer happily again, cut the shredded ginger, and cover it.

When encountering a favorite movie on weekdays, Cheng Che must be forced to go to the movie theater to watch it three or five times.Starting from the second brush, Cheng Che must be dragged to the store to match themed clothes and buy related themed snacks before going out.

Watch Toy Story and go in denim together.

Watching "Crazy Zootopia", a big man has a little rabbit doll hanging on his bag.

It's a pity that "Chain Saw" is not available in China.Cheng Che later heard from a student with a paralyzed face that when Zhao Qingling watched the 3D version of Chainsaw in the United States, he went directly to Chinatown and cut half a catty of cooked barbecued pork. .

Now in their home, the bay windows at home also have names.

Curtains also have names, and the stars outside the curtains also have names, each with a different name.

Zhao Qingling loves life so much—the walls of each room in the house are covered with various paintings.Many of them were sold on the streets when he was traveling in various countries.

There are also leaves picked up from foreign countries, and they are hung in a frame when they come back.

One day, even Cheng Che's casual note was framed and hung on the wall.

[I'm going home late today, there are no vegetarian dishes in the refrigerator, you go and buy celery and radishes. 】

Below is Zhao Qingling's small graffiti.

A big cat: [Well, I made it ~ Love]

Such a boring little note, Zhao Qingling actually put it in a picture frame and mounted it on the wall!

His explanation was: "It's the first time you wrote a small note to someone, so you're very happy."

Cheng Che was very helpless.

By the way, every time I passed by the note on the wall, my ears would turn red.

……

There are many, many things.

Probably because in high school, he had been hiding where Zhao Qingling couldn't see, watching him secretly.So Cheng Che knows a lot of things that others don't.

Zhao Qingling is not only a lively and interesting person, but also a very gentle, very gentle person.

In the corridor after school on a rainy day, if a strange girl did not bring an umbrella, Zhao Qingling would secretly lean the big black umbrella against the wall behind her and run home in the rain.

He will rush to drive away the vicious dogs, protect the stray kittens in the school, and try his best to help all the kittens find adoptive owners.

Also very good at "nosy".

He will take care of any injustice in the school, and he will take care of his friends when they are in trouble.

It was also because of Zhao Qingling's gentleness that he couldn't help coming to him and asking him what was going on when he was crying in the corner of the playground that evening.

The person he likes is really that good.Excellent, sunny, and kind, just like what is written in a storybook.

...He is obviously such a good boy.

But only when it comes to dealing with feelings, it seems like a different person.

In the two years of high school, Cheng Che witnessed him being cruel to so many outstanding and beautiful people, turning his face and denying him, and he did not know how many people cried.

But who told him to like him so much.

So selfishly, he had already found an excuse for Zhao Qingling——

Perhaps, he was not good to others at that time because he had someone in his heart.

It was his childhood sweetheart Bai Yueguang, the girl named Tang Mi.

But Tang Mi ignored him, that's why he found so many, so many substitutes.But in the end it was Tang Mi who had to cruelly abandon those who belonged to everyone and chase them to the United States.

Cheng Che still doesn't know why Tang Mi never accepts Zhao Qingling.

But maybe he should be thankful.Fortunately, she refused to have him, and now the man was his.

Now that he has found him, he will never let anyone snatch him back.

……

That night, when Zhao Qingling woke up under the tree, it happened to be dusk.

The original itinerary plan of the two was to go to a viewing platform in the nearby old city to watch the sunset together.

In the end, he went the wrong way.

In so many days, this is the first time Mr. Cheng, who has an excellent sense of direction, leads the wrong way.

By coincidence, he walked further and further away, and came to a large ruin by the sea that was not mentioned in any scenic spot guide.

There are no people, only mottled thick bricks in cool colors, an unparalleled atmosphere of wasteland, old Soviet-style ruined fortifications, and dilapidated aprons.

Zhao Qingling: "Wow, this place is so handsome, isn't it, climb up and have a look?"

The two climbed up.

Climbing to the highest place, facing the sea breeze, there is still no one around, as if through time and space, standing on an empty, uninhabited ruin and looking at the blood-red sunset in front of you, there are only two people between the sky and the earth.

The setting sun is like blood, delicate and charming.

The two sat down and cuddled each other for a while.

Until the sunset slowly, slowly.

The wind started to get a little cold, Zhao Qingling: "Cheche, where shall we eat tonight?"

"You are hungry?"

Zhao Qingling: "I'm fine, it's okay to eat later."

"I'm not very hungry either." Cheng Che lowered his eyes and leaned on his shoulder, "Qingling, I want to chat for a while."

"Hey, okay, okay, what are we talking about?"

"..."

"..."

"Hey, are you talking?"

The people around are still very quiet.

……

Cheng Che actually had a lot to say, but he didn't know where to start.

Perhaps, it is because of the fact that "the most beautiful sunset is red" in front of me.For a moment, he didn't know how to speak.

He really likes watching the sunset with Zhao Qingling like this.

His fingers were secretly hanging on the cuffs of that person, really wishing that they could close their eyes like this, and then open them again, and they would all have passed their lives.At that time, they could still cuddle up to each other like this.

half an hour.

"I..." he said softly, "I still want to ask again."

"That day, when you were tired of talking, what did you think?"

Zhao Qingling: "..."

Zhao Qingling: "?!?!"

Zha Gong was pitiful, weak and helpless for a moment, and his voice was extremely cautious: "Turn, turn over old accounts? QAQ"

In such a romantic place, under such a good atmosphere, suddenly turning over old scores?
