Twilight

When Huang Wenxuan found Yan Duo in the parking lot, Yan Duo was standing under a streetlight with two ice creams in his hands. He was wearing dark-colored underwear, and under the double blessing of the light and dark-colored shirt, his complexion was even colder. White, the two buttons on the top of the shirt are not buttoned, revealing a bit of the collarbone under the neck, the collarbone extends inward, and is covered by the clothes, with a secretive color, which attracts people to find out.

When Huang Wenxuan realized that he was distracted, he had already stared at Yan Duo for too long, facing Yan Duo's smiling eyes, he looked away embarrassedly.Yan Duo smiled and said to him: "Eat it while it's cold, it will melt in a while."

Yan Duo was secretly refreshed, and was very satisfied with Huang Wenxuan's reaction. It seemed that even if his appearance had declined, it was still possible to tidy up his charm casually.

Huang Wenxuan quickly took one, "Sorry to keep you waiting, is there a cold drink shop near here?"

"I ordered takeaway." Yan Duo said, "This place is hard to find, isn't it? Just now, the takeaway boy took a bit of effort to find it."

"Yeah, the driver couldn't find it at first, so I reminded him to turn on the navigation."

The two sat on the side of the flower bed eating ice cream and didn't speak for a while.

After eating with his head buried for a while, Huang Wenxuan suddenly said in a muffled voice: "Our team lost badly tonight."

Yan Duo: "I saw the score, do I need—consolation?"

Huang Wenxuan: "I want a tissue."

"Ah?" Yan Duo was stunned, passed his arm over, and said with a smile, "Use my sleeve to wipe it off."

Huang Wenxuan said with a smile: "I really want a tissue, the cream dripped on my pants."

Yan Duo didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "It's in the car, you can get it yourself?"

"it is good."

The ice cream had indeed melted, and Yan Duo's hands were covered with cream. Since he was sitting, he raised his arms and stretched his legs. He pointed his chin at the position of his trouser pocket, "Here is the key, you can take it yourself."

It was still hot and dry in Los Angeles in late July. It had just rained two days ago, and the air was still cool this evening. Huang Wenxuan hesitated for a moment, and stretched out his hand. His fingertips were hot against his thin skin The cloth slid across the skin of Yan Duo's legs, causing ripples in Yan Duo's heart, and the soft smile at the corner of his mouth, projected down together with the light of the street lamp between the trees, It really shined into Yan Duo's heart.

When Yan Duo came back to his senses, Huang Wenxuan held the car keys and ran to the car not far away. When he ran, he bounced and jumped, exuding endless vitality, which was completely different from the depression hidden in his eyes. kind of temperament.

Seeing him open the car door, Yan Duo raised his voice to remind him: "There is bottled water in the trunk."

Huang Wenxuan first wiped his hands with tissue paper, then took out water from the trunk, unscrewed it and drank a few sips, then went to pour water for Yan Duo to wash his hands, after Yan Duo finished washing, he took the bottle and poured water for Huang Wenxuan to wash, after washing together Wipe the water beads off your fingers with tissue paper.

"Are you still training tomorrow?"

"Well, I have to train, but I can go later." Huang Wenxuan sorted out the empty bottles and other sundries and threw them into the trash can beside him.

Yan Duo said again: "Do you want to eat something else?"

Huang Wenxuan shook his head and said, "It's too late, I won't eat, how about you?"

"I haven't had supper for many years." Yan Duo smiled, and said again: "I'll take you home."

Huang Wenxuan was a little surprised, the corners of his mouth slowly turned up, "Okay."

"Do you want to drive or take the car?" Yan Duo asked, and then said to himself: "Forget it, you are quite tired, let me drive." Then he took Huang Wenxuan's backpack and put it on the back seat, Pulled open the passenger door.

Yan Duo walked around to the driver's side and got on the car, and clicked on the car navigation, "Your home address?"

Huang Wenxuan: "The mountains and rivers of the East New District are top-notch."

After entering the destination, Yan Duo held the steering wheel and did not move. He smiled and reminded Huang Wenxuan who was beside him in a daze, "Fasten your seat belt."

Huang Wenxuan smiled back, stretched out his hand and pulled the seat belt buckle, he was actually thinking in a daze, it was already so late, Yan Duo sent him home, should he stay at home for the night?

Yan Duo thought that he was still depressed about the loss of the ball at night, and thought he was a professional player. I really know how to comfort that teacher.After all, for many things, empathy is very ethereal when you say it, and no matter how gorgeous the comfort is, it's just barely there, and it won't do much.

While driving the car on the road, Yan Duo looked for topics to chat, "Are you still used to living here?"

Huang Wenxuan said: "The food is not bad. My adoptive parents are Chinese. I usually prepare some Chinese food for family gatherings, so I can barely get used to the food here. As for other aspects, I am still getting used to it."

The road conditions are not very good. This is a section of the road near the stadium. At the moment, taxis, private cars, and fans’ buses abound. , You will find that Yan Duo is a little nervous, but because he has been wondering whether it is appropriate to keep Yan Duo overnight or not, so he didn't notice it.

The tense Yan Duo was a little dull. He held the steering wheel carefully, avoiding the vehicles and pedestrians on the road. After a while, he said "um", and then said, "Do you like small animals?"

Huang Wenxuan had no experience in raising small animals, so he thought for a while and said, "I like dogs, but I have never raised them myself."

Yan Duo said again: "The one next door to me is your fan Zhao Jianfei. He asked me to feed his cat for the past two days on a business trip. In the morning I went to the hospital to remove the plaster cast. Xiao Yuan also said that I smell like cats."

Huang Wenxuan remembered that Yan Duo had introduced that Xiao Yuan was his cousin.

He turned sideways, stopped a fist away from Yan Duo's ear, sniffed, then moved his head down, sniffed again, shook his head and said, "I only smell laundry detergent."

Yan Duo held his breath when he approached, and only let out a breath after he sat back to his original place.Fortunately, this section of the road is not too long, and the road conditions will gradually improve after driving, just follow the navigation.

Huang Wenxuan's cell phone vibrated twice suddenly, he looked down and picked it up.

Yang Chu leaned on the seat of the team bus and said softly: "I heard from Zhou Xu that you have something to go on your own?"

Huang Wenxuan glanced at Yan Duo who was on the side, and said, "Yes."

Yang Chu said: "That?"

Huang Wenxuan said: "Yes."

Yang Chu looked around. Since some teammates and colleagues had gone home after the game, there were few people on the bus. Everyone didn't sit in a row like when they came here. They all sat loosely on the way back. The seats around her were all empty. Everyone who could see was wearing earphones, so she teased in a low voice with confidence: "Save some energy for training tomorrow."

There is only such a large space in the car, except for the slight sound of the air conditioner blowing out, it is the voice of Yang Chu on Huang Wenxuan's phone. It is difficult for Yan Duo not to hear it. The rearview mirror outside the window.He said with some embarrassment: "It's okay, I'll hang up."

Yang Chu said with a smile: "Hold on, hang on, forget your friends when you see sex."

Just as Huang Wenxuan was about to put the phone away, he remembered something, and told the phone: "It's getting late today, so don't go home, stay at the base."

Yang Chu said: "Got it." The air conditioner on the bus was turned on a little low, and she felt a little chilly. While putting away her mobile phone, she pulled the coat covering her chest towards her neck, curled her legs, and walked towards the seat contentedly. The inside shrank again.The car stopped and went, and Yang Chu hummed softly to the earphones, thinking to himself, "Someone may also be the one who needs to be kept." He couldn't help thinking about the little Huang Wen of the goalkeeper and the Chinese teacher, and there was nothing wrong with it. He realized that there was a pair of eyes staring at her in the corner by the window in the back row. Ever since she made the phone call, those cold eyes had been lingering on her tightly.

Huang Wenxuan hesitated all the way, and the problem was solved after the car drove into his community.

Yan Duo: "Does your house have a guest room?"

"Yes." Huang Wenxuan only felt relieved.

"Then I won't leave tonight." Yan Duo glanced at him with a smile.

Huang Wenxuan felt his heart skip a beat.

The apartment that Huang Wenxuan rented was on the first floor. After the two parked the car and walked through a small bamboo forest, they came to the steps outside the courtyard. Standing on the steps, one could see the French windows on one side. Yan Duo turned to look at Huang Wenxuan. , said: "The wind startled the bamboo, and the mountain was covered with snow when the door opened. You sent me Wang Wei's poem when it snowed at the end of last year, do you remember?"

At that time, Huang Wenxuan was studying Tang poetry. That morning when he opened the curtains and saw heavy snow outside, he remembered this poem, took a picture of the snow scene, and sent it to Yan Duo along with the poem.

Unexpectedly, it has been so long, Yan Duo still remembers.

Huang Wenxuan walked up the last step, turned around, stood side by side with Yan Duo, looked at the bamboo grove in front of him, nodded and said, "I remember, I said that very few people planted bamboo in our garden."

"So there are bamboos outside the window where you live now?"

"Yes, when I asked the club to rent a house, I specifically included this item in the requirements."

The two looked at each other and smiled, Huang Wenxuan opened the door and made a gesture of invitation, "Come in."

Also living alone, Yan Duo felt that the spaces in his home were separated by glass walls, cold like an exhibition hall; Zhao Jianfei's place was overcrowded and messy, with all kinds of small appliances, plush toys and small picture frames. It is everywhere, like a home; Huang Wenxuan's place is like a hotel, with bright and clean windows, neat and tidy, a lot of furniture that should be there, but not a single decorative thing.
