the other half of the orange

Tang Heqian specially brought him to New Zealand, to be precise, a small town in Auckland, in order to take him to see the most artistic farm in the world.

After You Zhao got into the car, he kept asking, "What is so mysterious that you won't tell me?"

Tang Heqian was so annoyed that his ears became cocooned: "The farm, I will sell you to make haystacks."

You Zhao pulled a pillow and put it on his chest, suddenly thought of something, his eyes lit up: "Going to a farm and coming to New Zealand on purpose? Could it be the very famous Gibbs Farm?"

"..." Tang Heqian was full of frustration, and the sense of mystery that he had deliberately kept for many days was shattered in one blow, and he immediately lowered his face with a stinky expression.

"Huh, is it true?" You Zhao shook his hand in surprise, hesitated for a while and said, "How about...we start over again, I just pretend I don't know."

"..."

You Zhao tightened his grip on the pillow again, and asked innocently, "Oh, where are we going?"

"..."

You Zhao continued to be relentless: "Huh? Why don't you talk? You can take me anywhere."

"If you say another word, I will throw you to Africa to dig coal." Tang Heqian said lightly.

You Zhao smiled, then shut up.

The car went all the way north, and it was more than an hour away from Auckland.You Zhao got out of the car, passed a simple log cabin, and walked towards the endless green world.

"Don't be so excited." Tang Heqian called You Zhao who was rushing forward, "There will be time later."

There are not many people here, maybe the grassland is too big, looking at a large open space, except for a few sheep, no one can be seen.

"Brother!" You Zhao waved to him, "How did you make a reservation? I heard it's very difficult to make a reservation here!"

The farm is usually not open to the public, and can only be reserved on a certain Thursday of each month. With such a great reputation and a limited number of people, it is basically necessary to book three or four months in advance.

"It's actually not that difficult. Mr. Gibbs is an excellent businessman." Tang Heqian followed his pace, "Let's go and see what you like."

Along the way, Zhao seemed to have taken a stimulant. When he saw a sheep, he wanted to take a group photo, and when he saw an alpaca pooping, he had to touch the curly hair of others.After crossing a few small hills, a large outdoor art installation appeared, and a huge two-port speaker was supported under the hill not far away.

Most of the outdoor sculptures on the farm are works of the last century. They were collected by Mr. Gibbs, who loves art, in his favorite farm. This has become a very famous landscape today, and the "trumpet" is the most famous work. one.

A few people stood at the bottom of the hillside, curiously looking towards the huge bell mouth, and another bell mouth extended to the other side of the hillside.

"Some people say that this work may have the meaning of 'reproductive worship'. It's a bit powerful when you think about it carefully." You Zhao didn't dare to touch it. Nearly 20 years of wind and rain did not fade this work at all, but the surface paint did. There is the precipitation of historical wind and frost.

You Zhao walked more than half a circle around the device, and found two giraffes nearby. He stood in front of the giraffes carefully and greeted Tang Heqian.

"Brother! Take a photo for me!" The giraffe is too tall, You Zhao stood a little further away, "You go to a farther place to take pictures, remember to take pictures of the whole body!"

"..." Tang Heqian, who had never stopped holding his phone, was very helpless.

"Be careful." Fortunately, there are railings around the giraffe.

You Zhao quietly touched the giraffe's neck. The fur was sticky and felt a little uncomfortable. He ran back reluctantly, leaned closer to the camera to see the results, and his head was full of black lines: "Brother...not focused."

Tang Heqian said indifferently: "The wind is strong."

You Zhao pouted, took the phone and rummaged through one after another, and a few of them were barely qualified: "It's not as good as the ones I took."

Almost an hour had passed since we entered the gate, but there was still a wider area of ​​Gibbs Farm waiting to be discovered.

You Zhao took Tang Heqian to take pictures with great enjoyment. Under the camera, the two were leaning close together, with blue sky, white clouds and green grass scenery, and a pair of gentle eyes.

"Why don't you take a crash course in photography?" You Zhao suggested sincerely.

"..." Don't think I didn't see the disgust in your eyes.

In view of the rare tenderness photo, You Zhao still decided to keep this photo of him blinking, after all, this is also the first photo of the two of them together.

And Tang Heqian secretly recorded an important plan in the memo.

After walking a long way, I met many famous works, such as metal elevated, stubborn stone piled up, and glass standing. He could analyze each of them clearly and logically. Tang Heqian listened to him quietly, and was moved by his heartfelt happiness. happy.

"I wanted to talk about it a long time ago." You Zhao said, "Do you have a Rembrandt painting at home?"

"Well, it was taken before."

"Rembrandt pursues reality and perfection, serious and a little bit boring."

From a psychological point of view, people who like Rembrandt's painting style are more calm and pay attention to rules, but at the same time, they have a raging passion hidden in their hearts.

"Oh, and then?" Tang Heqian was still waiting for the next sentence.

You Zhao smiled: "Nope."

After walking intermittently for two hours, You Zhao couldn't keep up physically and was so tired that he sat on the grass to rest.In the weather in Auckland in February, his back was covered with a thin layer of sweat. He had already taken off his sun protection clothing and hung it on his hands, leaving only a thin T-shirt on his body.

Looking at Tang Heqian next to him again, he was ordered all the way around, but he didn't even catch his breath, and he was still personable and able to handle a task with ease.

As expected of a person who is strict with himself, during the three months that we haven't met, I'm afraid it's not about exercising every day and managing our health.

You Zhao purposely found a high hillside to sit on the ground, with a wide view in front of him, and the flock of sheep turned into stars, as if looking down at the world.

"Looking at it like this, doesn't it feel like the whole world is shaking hands?" You Zhao patted his buttocks and stood up, raised his hands and looked into the distance, pretending to be an emperor to inspect the territory, "Oh, it's too big, some places are blocked."

"That's because you're not tall enough."

You Zhao blinked, and said in displeasure, "Do you dislike me for being short?"

"..." Tang Heqian was helpless, then squatted down with his back to him, patted himself on the shoulder, "Come up."

You Zhao was dumbfounded: "This...isn't that good? And I'm already so old, I'm afraid I'll overwhelm you."

"You think I'm you?" Tang Heqian frowned, "Hurry up."

You Zhao picked him up carefully, and put his legs on his shoulders one after the other.

With the human cushion, you can see higher and farther, your field of vision becomes wider, and you can see more things.

"How is it?" Tang Heqian asked while holding his thigh.

You Zhao patted his hand, motioned to put himself down, and said in a muffled voice, "The farther place is still blocked."

"That's right." Tang Heqian said lightly, "There are mountains beyond mountains, and there are people beyond people."

You Zhao chewed this sentence several times, and then asked tentatively, "You mean...although you are rich, do you mean that Bill Gates is richer than you?"

"……Africa."

You Zhao shut up in time.

"What I mean is that the world is always wider than what you see. If you don't want to stop here, then go farther and stand higher."

This Chicken Soup for the Soul sounded so familiar, just like the gardening lady who later found out that she was the former dean accidentally broke his bottleneck.

He was originally a person without a sense of belonging, living in the city, wandering in spirit, building a protective barrier with a smiling face and optimism.However, the appearance of Tang Heqian shattered the rock-solid barrier little by little, giving him a nest of comfort and a sense of belonging.

It's not that he hasn't considered these issues, but exploring the world means staying away from Tang Heqian, away from the warmth he has now, and facing various uncertainties.

"I used to desperately want to run outside, but I still couldn't go out because of arthritis. I really wanted to, but—" You Zhao stretched out his arms to hug him, and buried his head tightly on his shoulder, " I now realize that I don't even want to leave you."

"People are independent individuals, you should be responsible for yourself." Tang Heqian sighed and said helplessly.

"I don't want to leave you!" You Zhao repeated loudly.

You Zhao is like a child, he is reluctant to part with his beloved toy and has to hold on tightly.

At least Tang Heqian thinks so, he said in a deep voice: "You have to go out one day, the outside world is wonderful, you will be happy and full of courage to challenge everything." Then when he looked back, he forgot about me .

You Zhao raised his head and stared seriously at Tang Heqian's deep eyes. He saw firmness, reluctance, and a flash of depression?

After thinking for a long time, he vaguely understood what Tang Heqian was worried about and what he didn't trust, but this was something that his insignificant self couldn't make a real promise at the moment...

"Don't treat me like a child, and I don't want to be your relative...you are not my biological uncle, are you?" You Zhaoyi was nervous and almost bit his tongue, "I, I heard that night!"

Tang Heqian looked down at him: "So what? Your path is not mine. Although I have the ability to give you the life you want, your pursuit can only be realized by yourself."

After a long silence, You Zhao lowered his head and cried slightly, "Will you wait for me?"

Tang Heqian shook his head: "I'm not sure."

There is no conflict between the dreamed future on the one hand and the person who is fascinated by the other.You Zhao wiped away the tears from the corners of his eyes, and secretly made up his mind: "Just wait for me!"

As long as you are still in place, then I will definitely catch up, stand side by side with you, and hug you tightly.

"I will work hard, but I hope you will remember and believe that no matter how far I go, I am still here waiting for you."

Tang Heqian didn't know how to wake him up. The deep feelings had already broken through the ground and grown into a towering tree. He knew that one day the leaves would turn yellow and fall off, but his only selfishness was unwilling to cut off the branches at this moment.

Just like yourself.

The trip to the farm ended in a not-so-perfect way. On the way back, the two looked at each other in silence, and most of the time, one was sleeping and the other was meditating with eyes closed.

You Zhao was so tired that he couldn't keep his eyes open all the way, his head pressed against the car window little by little. Tang Heqian was afraid that he would get a headache, so he wanted to pull him over to his side, but he paused with his hands on top of his head, and then silently Put it back.

Excessive tenderness is always a wrong sign.

You Zhao woke up as soon as he returned to the hotel. He stretched himself and stood in front of his room, calling Tang Heqian: "Brother! Thank you!"

Tang Heqian turned around: "No need."

"elder brother!"

Tang Heqian turned around in doubt.

You Zhao rushed over like a cannonball, raised his head and quickly kissed the corner of his lips, and said with a smile, "I'm very happy today, see you tomorrow!"
