At 05:30 that afternoon, just as Lu Chen left the office with his briefcase in his pocket, the cell phone in his pocket rang.He glanced at the contact and pressed answer.

"Hey?"

The fat man didn't speak for a long time, and Lu Chen could only vaguely hear the other party's panting.

Lu Chen blinked and frowned slightly, "What's the matter? Don't make the atmosphere like my confession, can you?"

The fat man said angrily, "Fuck your uncle's confession. I... I have something to do and I don't know if I should tell you."

Lu Chen habitually joked, "You don't really want to confess your love to me, do you?"

The fat man sighed solemnly, "Well, I think you are still alive and well, tsk, it's better not to tell you, so as to save you from worrying."

Lu Chen: "..."

"Get out! What's the matter?"

The fat man frowned on the other side that Lu Chen couldn't see.The longer he was silent, the more uneasy Lu Chen felt. His embarrassment did not seem to be a good thing.

Lu Chen subconsciously blurted out, "Did something happen to Shen Yi?"

Listening to Fatty's solemn silence, combined with his saying "I don't know if I should tell you", Lu Chen's first instinct was whether something would happen to Shen Yi - this was the only relationship they both cared about.And as soon as this idea appeared, he quickly ran towards the worst result.

The fat man sighed, it can be said that he was relieved.The name he hesitated to say or not was pointed out by Lu Chen, and he had no scruples in his heart.

"I just got news of him too. I have his contact information now, do you want it?" the fat man said.

Lu Chen secretly breathed a sigh of relief.This is obviously a good thing, how could it make him feel like he was dying.Talking out of breath, scaring people to death.But at any rate, the fat man brought news about Shen Yi, so it's not easy for him to spit him out.

"Give it to me." Lu Chen said firmly.

"Hey, Lu Chen, are you sure... okay. I'll send you a WeChat message later."

The fat man said a lot in a hurry, but Lu Chen didn't understand.

Not long after the fat man hung up the phone, Lu Chen received a WeChat message.

Looking at the string of Arabic numerals, Lu Chen wondered how he was so rational.My heart is not flustered and my hands are not shaking.

Lu Chen looked at this string of unfamiliar numbers, Shen Yi's shadow unconsciously appeared in his mind, and his thoughts flew back to the time when they were together.

He didn't know why he always had such a feeling, he always felt that Shen Yi would come back when he was crazy enough outside.I am like an old mother waiting for a child who has traveled far away to come home for the New Year.

He knew in his heart that with Shen Yi's personality, since he had already left so resolutely, he would basically not come back by himself.

Lu Chen attributed this inexplicable feeling to the imagination generated deep in the brain for self-protection.

Before Lu Chen could wake up from the past years, the fat man sent another WeChat message, marking another phone number, and added: He might be with this person.

Followed by another: He flew to Tibet yesterday.

Hey, the fat man is also benevolent.

Lu Chen stepped into the small garden next to Xingxing Street, sat on the stone chair with limbs a little stiff, and continued to stare at these messages in a daze.

A cowardly thought came to Lu Chen's mind, preventing him from pressing the dial key with his fingers.

He wondered, "Am I going to interrupt his life?" Especially when he saw another person's phone number.

As the sky was getting dark, when the mosquitoes in the garden began to eat food unscrupulously at Lu Chen, the itching of his flesh pulled him out of his scattered thoughts.

Lu Chen reflexively patted Brother Mosquito, who was drinking his own blood, and made up his mind in an instant.He thought, fuck it!Just ask him if he's okay, and then... then talk!

So he quickly pressed the dial button, fearing that the idea would be skipped if he hesitated.

The bell on the receiver rang for a long time, so long that Lu Chen almost felt that Shen Yi would not answer, and so long that the little courage in his heart almost faded away.

It turned out that a few seconds before the phone automatically hung up, a familiar and nostalgic voice came from the receiver.

"Hello?" Shen Yi said.

When the phone rang, Shen Yi had just arrived at the hotel and settled down.As soon as he entered the bathroom and turned on the shower, he vaguely heard the phone ringing.

Shen Yi turned off the shower and listened intently for a while, and after confirming that it was his cell phone ringing, he hurriedly put on a bath towel and went out to check the cell phone.

Shen Yi looked at the phone number on the phone screen, and always felt a little familiar.

Today, with the development of the Internet, a mobile phone number may be just a thing similar to an ID card, which is only used to bind a bunch of messy software and verify real identity information.

Even if they occasionally use their mobile phone number to contact, most of them are old friends with a note name or a phone number from a car——Shen Yi doesn't have a car.

So at the first glance, Shen Yi only recognized that this phone number was a bit familiar, and the more he looked at it, the more he felt that it was not familiar.

He was a little unsure, half naked while holding the phone, and sat on the edge of the bed in a daze without moving for a long time.

The phone kept calling, and the ringtone of the incoming call was still the kind of light music that came with the manufacturer, a very simple ding-dong sound, which made his restless heart start to follow the beat.

Shen Yi comforted himself in his heart: he must be thinking too much.So I pressed answer at the last moment of automatic hangup.

Shen Yi politely said "Hello?"

There was no answer from the receiver for a long time.He was keenly aware of something from this long silence.

"...Ah, it's me", Lu Chen pinched his temples, the atmosphere was awkward and weird, if the mosquitoes hadn't kept reminding him to face the reality, he might be able to continue his mind wandering all night.

"I...I just want to ask you...how are you doing? It's nothing else." Lu Chen added.

After speaking, he scolded himself annoyedly in his heart: What do you mean nothing else? !To cover up.

"Very good", Shen Yi said.The degree of embarrassment in his tone was not much different from that of Lu Chen.

"Oh, all right".Lu Chen pinched the phone, feeling that he should hang up now, otherwise the atmosphere would keep going in a more and more rigid direction.When the time comes, there will be a stalemate, and there will be no reason to contact me again in the future.

"Then I'll hang up first, you take care of yourself." Lu Chen said.

Shen Yi: "...um."

But the two sides agreed for a long time and did not hang up the phone, Lu Chen wanted to wait for him to hang up first.Maybe Shen Yi wanted to go with him.

Lu Chen sighed inwardly, bit his chapped lips, and said with determination, "You...you can come back anytime you want."

Shen Yi didn't reply anymore, and couldn't hear any other sounds, not even the sound of breathing.

Lu Chen scratched his hair and said, "It's getting late, so you should rest first."After speaking, he paused for two seconds and hung up the phone first.

Tsk, why do you feel like an underage boy who just confessed his love, Lu Chen thought to himself, what's wrong?

Lu Chen scratched his body bag that was gnawed by mosquitoes, scratched his hair that was almost bald by himself, got up and went home with the official documents in his arms.

He hasn't been sleeping well lately, so he's always feeling a little irritable.He is very preoccupied, especially at night, it is difficult to sleep well,

His new roommate is also a night owl, and he really likes to have a group of friends gather in the living room and drink until midnight.

The living room is for public use, so it's hard for Lu Chen to say anything.We can only stand next to each other day by day, like a poor lonely old man.Not to mention how miserable it was.

When the fat man left, he invited him to live in his new house, and promised to let him live for free until he found a partner.

But Lu Chen didn't agree, he kept holding a glimmer of hope in his heart, hoping that Shen Yi could find himself if he came back.

The fat man warned earnestly at that time, "If you run away, the monk can't get away from the temple, and the Penang University can't get away. Are you still worried that he won't find you?"

What the fat man said was reasonable, but Lu Chen still didn't agree, and he couldn't explain why.

Lu Chen opened the door of the room, and sure enough, there was another group of high-ranking students, bragging dirty jokes and blowing to the bottle.

He was busy with work during the day and couldn't sleep well at night. He felt that he was about to suffer from depression.

Shen Yi stared at the number on the phone in a daze for a long time, then accidentally saved the contact, marked: A Lu Chen.In fact, there is no need to save the contact or not. I guess he will never forget this number in the future.

He made an appointment with Afeng on the time and place, and he will rush there tomorrow.The transportation in Tibet is not very good. It is estimated that it will take a day's journey to get to that isolated mountain village.

Shen Yi dragged his tired body and dazed mind, and moved to the bathroom step by step in a daze.Let the warm water from the shower sprinkle on yourself wantonly.

He remembered what April had said to him: there was no use running away.

Shen Yi thought, have I really been avoiding him?That's why he ran to a place far away from the emperor today?

The warm touch of the water on his skin stimulated his memory.Shen Yi looked down at his body, there were marks left by Lu Chen on every part of his body.But now, these traces gradually became clearly visible in my mind.

Shen Yi unconsciously touched his lips—he kissed him, his collarbone—he bit his neck, his neck and earlobes... Lu Chen liked to pinch his waist and shoulders, and then complained: "It's too thin!"Then change the way to let him eat.

In the dense water vapor, Shen Yi felt that Lu Chen's figure gradually became three-dimensional.He became more and more suspicious that in the past two years he might really have been suppressing the strong longing, but he was just covering it up with his busy work.And now, it finally broke out——

You can come back whenever you want.

Lu Chen's words almost melted his heart.The despair and anger of leaving desperately before had vanished in the two years of separation.But the feelings he wanted to thwart did not go away, and became stronger as time went by.

Shen Yi hugged himself and squatted in the corner, letting tears flow into his mouth with the shower——I miss you very much.

The temperature of the body spread from the heart to the outside in an instant.He ran out of the shower, wrapped himself in a towel, hurriedly called A Feng, and rejected the meeting.

Then Shen Yi looked at the number on the phone screen that he had already engraved in his heart, and called it nervously...

Lu Chen was hugging the phone and the ceiling and staring blankly at this moment, but when the phone rang, he almost rolled down in shock.

He held the bedside table steady with his hands, took a look at the caller ID with his mobile phone... completely rolled under the bed.

Lu Chen tapped the answer button incomparably quickly before his mind was clear.

He lay in Mother Earth's arms and said "Hello?"

Then the two were silent at the same time, listening to each other's panting and chatting for comfort.

Shen Yi scratched his hair a little bit shyly, he couldn't say romantic words, he really didn't know how to speak.All the love in his heart is expressed from the daily bits and pieces, which cannot be heard from his mouth.

Lu Chen held his breath and asked nervously, "What's wrong?"

Shen Yi still didn't speak.In fact, he has thousands of words in his heart, but... the words are a bit vulgar, and it may be the same as the reason why he can't pee after holding it in for a long time.Because the contraction function of the bladder has temporarily malfunctioned...

It has been 5 minutes, and the two are still listening to each other's panting.Lu Chen tentatively called his name.

"Shen Yi?"

"Ah."

Lu Chen has been with him for many years, and he knows that Shen Yi is a silent gourd. He seems to hear something tacit from the word "um".

Lu Chen licked his lips, "Do you... want me to go find you?"

After a long time, Shen Yi said, "...um."

Lu Chen instantly felt a pot of hot water gushing out from the bottom of his heart, and even the bragging outside sounded much more pleasant.

"Well, I'll go find you right away, you wait there and don't move around."

"...I miss you very much," Lu Chen added.His voice sounded a little choked.

Shen Yi hugged his cell phone and nestled himself under the blanket.His hair was still wet with drops of water, and he was only wrapped in a towel.

Shen Yi felt that he was alive instantly, as if all the blood in his body had been purified.

When Lu Chen said "I miss you very much", Shen Yi also said in his heart, "I miss you very much too", but after thinking for a long time, he only managed to say "Hmm..."

The next second after Lu Chen hung up the phone, he simply packed his luggage and ran to the airport quickly.The sound of the door slamming finally interrupted the "howling ghosts and howling wolves" and "nonsense" in the living room.

Lu Chen hails a taxi downstairs and takes a taxi to the airport.It wasn't until he got to the airport to buy a ticket that he realized that there was only one flight from Penang to Tibet a day, at nine o'clock in the morning.

Lu Chen could only endure the excitement and impatience flowing in his blood, waited restlessly in the hall, took out his mobile phone with his travel bag on his back, and planned to have a phone conversation with Shen Yi—even if he heard each other panting, it would be fine.

Holding the phone in his hand, Lu Chen suddenly remembered something, and said, "Send your WeChat, I suddenly remembered and don't know your exact location yet."

So half a minute later, Lu Chen received a mobile phone number...it was obviously the one he dialed just now...

After adding WeChat, I can finally have some normal language communication, and I don't have to just listen to "um".

A big man in his 30s holding his mobile phone and laughing is as idiotic as a minor who has a first love in his teens.Fortunately, there are not many people at the airport in the middle of the night.But no matter how much, he couldn't see it.

Always remember, there will be reverberations.

Two people whose hearts are always connected are hard to separate.The only thing that can separate them is their own cowardice.

Many times, it takes more courage to pursue happiness than to endure suffering.

Lu Chen finally stopped at Tibet Airport at four o'clock in the afternoon the next day.

With two panda eyes on his head, he walked happily in this plateau airport.But right now he was in no mood to enjoy the view.

Lu Chen took out his mobile phone and looked at the location sent by Shen Yi.Before he was about to call a car, Shen Yi called in.

Lu Chen answered the phone with a happy face. "Hello, are you Shen Yi's family?"

Lu Chen panicked, coupled with the altitude sickness that he was not used to, he almost lay down on the ground on the spot.

"……What do you mean?"

Lu Chen's voice contained anger and murderous intent. The person on the other end of the phone might have been frightened and forgot to speak for a moment.

Lu Chen knelt on the ground on one knee, propping his head with a splitting headache, "What's wrong with him?"

"Oh, oh, he's fine, he accidentally drowned last night to save a child." Before Lu Chen had time to ask anything, the people over there quickly explained, "But he's awake now, and he's fine now." Yes. He still needs to stay in the hospital for recuperation for a few days. He is in XX Hospital..."

During the 2-minute call, Lu Chen experienced ups and downs emotionally, and he didn't sleep all night, and suddenly developed altitude sickness.Soon, the airport staff surrounded him.

Looking at the shadowy crowd coming up, Lu Chen heard himself muttering, "Take me to... XX Hospital, thank you..." Then he disappeared.

When he woke up, Shen Yi was lying on the bed next to him and looking at him with a smirk.

Shen Yi pursed his lips, "Teacher, your physical fitness has declined."

Lu Chen dragged his uncomfortable body, and stretched out a hand towards Shen Yi.Shen Yi put his hand on it obediently.

"You fucking... you gave me such a big news as soon as I got off the plane."

"No way, they used my mobile phone to call me when I was in a coma. They usually call the nearest contact. Who told me that the last contact I had was you."

Lu Chen pinched his hand, wanting to pinch his face and hair again.Helpless, the distance between the two beds is a bit large, and it is very difficult to hold hands.I had no choice but to let it go.

"Why did you suddenly drown?"

"I wanted to pick you up at the airport, but on the road I saw a kid playing and half of his body sank into the lake, so I went down and pulled him. In the end...he pulled me like a life-saving straw, He came up, but dragged me down."

After Shen Yi finished speaking, he stared at Lu Chen with big innocent eyes, as if begging for leniency.

Lu Chen pinched him angrily, "I've been hurting you for so long, just to let you play with your life?"

"I did not do it on purpose……"

"When I'm discharged from the hospital, I'll buy a dog leash first, and I'll take you out for a walk every day. I'll lock you at home and watch the door when I have nothing to do, and I'm not allowed to go anywhere!"

Shen Yi: "..."

"Too much control is a disease, I think you should see it."

"Fuck off!"

"Brother~"
