Midsummer of Eden

Later in the day, it began to drizzle.

Zhang Chi was restless in the room with no lights on.Time seems to have become extremely slow, while other people are here, all thoughts have drifted to the next door.

What are the two of them doing now?Is Qin Shuo in Yin Jueming's room?Would Yin Jueming think of himself even for a moment?Or does he not care at all?And what does the phrase "I used to love him" that almost drove him crazy mean?If it was the past, what about the present?

These questions loop endlessly in the brain over and over again.

Zhang Haiyin's knock on the door interrupted his thoughts.

"have you slept?"

Zhang Chi opened the door almost as soon as he studied science: "No, grandma."

The old lady smiled and sat on the sofa in his room after entering the door. She patted aside and signaled Zhang Chi to sit down: "You seem to be restless today. Is it because Mr. Qin is here?"

"Well."

"Could it be that you neglected Jueming before, and you were afraid that Mr. Qin would find out?" The old lady joked.

"Grandma." Zhang Chi felt helpless, and then said, "I'm fine, I'm just a little tired today."

"I don't think you are a little tired, but anxious?" Zhang Haiyin said again, "Grandson, I have lived longer than you."

She didn't say the rest, those eyes seemed to be able to see everything, and she was staring at Zhang Chi intently.

Zhang Chi's heart jumped almost instantly, and then, when he confirmed that the old lady's eyes were not reproachful but caring, he felt the heartbeat in his chest slowly slow down.

"Grandma..." He didn't even know how to speak.

Zhang Haiyin saw that he was hesitant to speak, and sighed.She reached out and patted the back of Zhang Chi's hand.Although the hand looks old, it is very warm: "You know, you are the only relative beside grandma."

As soon as the old lady opened her mouth, Zhang Chi's heart became half cold.He wasn't sure if what Zhang Haiyin said next was what he guessed.

"Of course I'm afraid of him getting hurt...but I don't want to see him unhappy. At my age, I just want to return to my hometown. In retrospect, I actually missed a lot of things." Shaking, "You have to fight for what you like. On the other hand, if you don't have fate, don't force it, you know?"

Zhang Chi's nose was a little sour, and he stared at Zhang Haiyin blankly.

Zhang Haiyin was amused by his silly look: "Silly boy, are you stunned?"

After a long time, he pulled out the hand that was covered by the old lady, and shook it around the old lady's shoulder: "No, grandma. I think I was right when I was young, you are the most beautiful old lady in the world .”

When Zhang Chi turned over from the balcony, he suddenly realized that the balcony door was not closed.

He was right, Qin Shuo was indeed in Yin Jueming's room.

However, the current atmosphere is by no means the glamorous scene that Zhang Chi had imagined.Strictly speaking, the atmosphere is a bit stiff.

Qin Shuo's voice came from inside intermittently, and it sounded like a kind of suppressed anger.

"I will give you the best chance, introduce the best people to you, and even provide you with the best creative environment. I thought you needed time to create and think!"

Inside the room, Yin Jueming didn't seem to speak.Although the balcony door was open, the curtains were drawn, and it was so hazy that the scene inside could not be seen clearly.

Zhang Chi didn't dare to get too close, otherwise he was in danger of being discovered.

"At the beginning, I knew to call me to report my safety, but then I was the only one who called you. Later, there was no audio. I called you during the day to check that you were not there, but I called you back at night, absent-minded. I thought you Now I can't be disturbed, so in the future, there will only be one phone call a month!" Qin Shuo couldn't hold back his suppressed anger, and his voice raised a little.

"What you said is not wrong, what are you asking?" Yin Jueming's voice was cold.

This is the first time Zhang Chi discovered that when Yin Jueming was cold, the original Jade Voice would appear so inhumane.

"What am I asking? What do you think I am asking!" There was the sound of papers falling on the table in the room, followed by Qin Shuo gnashing his teeth, "This is not what I want. It has been nearly four months, Jueming, I didn't let You're on vacation."

"I know." Yin Jueming's voice sounded calm, without any timidity, "but it looks better than what we said originally, doesn't it?"

As if sure, Yin Jueming spoke again, solemnly: "This is a very good story. It's better than what I originally wanted to write. If it wasn't here, I wouldn't be able to write something like this. Qin Shuo, I have no choice."

"What do you want to say?"

"The author never chooses the subject, but the subject chooses the author."

Qin Shuo was silent for about two or three seconds, completely defeated by Yin Jueming.Apart from his unquestionable tone and eyes, Qin Shuo had to admit that it was indeed a good work.

It's just not done yet.Like a piece of uncut jade.

"Okay, you're fine." Qin Shuo took a deep breath, "Even if it's like what you said. You still have half a month left. After half a month, I want to see the results. It's better to be worthy of everyone above Your affirmation and deliberation, Jueming, don't let me down."

"Half a month is not enough." Yin Jueming interrupted him suddenly.

"What did Mi say?"

"I said, finishing it in half a month is not enough. I can finish what you want in four months. But since I chose this, I need longer time."

Zhang Chi heard Qin Shuo's compromise.He guessed that he should have compromised.

"How long do you need?"

"One more month."

Another weird silence.

"Okay, one month. No more. During this time, call me once a week."

"It doesn't need to be like this?" Yin Jueming said.

"Do as I say."

This time Yin Jueming did not speak.

After a while, Zhang Chi heard Qin Shuo ask again: "What are you doing? What are you wearing on your feet?"

Zhang Chi instantly thought of the string of wooden beads that he personally put on him.He hid on the balcony, and the wind and grass or the shadow under the moonlight could expose him at any time.But Zhang Chi knows that the heartbeat in his chest at this moment is not for fear and worry, on the contrary, he has an inexplicable expectation.

However, the next moment, his heart fell to the bottom.

Yin Jueming's clear and cold voice came: "Do you like the stuff you found in the town?"

Qin Shuo was noncommittal: "Come here and let me have a look."

"No." When Yin Jueming said this, Zhang Chi could almost imagine the sly look on the man's face, "I won't give it to you if I like it. I can't even look at it."

Before Zhang Chi could have any thoughts, the next moment, the tulle-like curtain separating the outside and inside of the door was suddenly lifted.

The body was one step ahead of the brain, and Zhang Chi had already dodged to the back corner of the balcony at the moment the figure floated - there was a big tree there, and its lush branches and leaves spread to the balcony on the second floor, which could be used as a shelter.In addition, the moonlight slanted from the side, and the light at that angle was very dark. Without careful observation, it was almost impossible to see someone hiding behind the tree.

Of course, if the person on the balcony looked at him, he would still be able to spot him in the first instant.

Zhang Chi held his breath, this time his heart was beating like thunder.

The person who came out was Yin Jueming.He holds a cigarette and a lighter.

Even in the dark, Zhang Chi recognized at a glance that he gave him the cigarette and lighter.An inexplicable sense of satisfaction.

Yin Jueming didn't open the curtains to come out, he just opened them and walked out.

In the moonlight, it is reminiscent of the feeling of stepping out of some kind of curtain.Yin Jueming has a special temperament in every gesture, which Zhang Chi has known for a long time.It's just that he didn't expect that his behavior has reached the point where he is obsessed with it.

Qin Shuo did not come to the balcony, but hearing the voice, he should be not far from the balcony.

"This is your third cigarette tonight."

Yin Jueming had a cigarette in his mouth, and the moment the fire sickle lit up, his side face was bright and beautiful.

The people behind the shadow of the tree and the people in the room through the curtains were all bewitched.

"Do you usually smoke like this? How many times have I told you that it's not good for your health." Qin Shuo's voice sounded much more normal, and it should be that the excitement just now has disappeared.

"I said, leave me alone. Qin Shuo, you've overstepped too much, do you understand?" The voice was still soft, but with a little warning.

Qin Shuo didn't answer.

In fact, at this moment his brain is being blinded.Qin Shuo felt this way, not once or twice, not even a day or two.It started a long time ago, just like Yin Jueming I saw in the flower garden today.

Suddenly far and suddenly near, it seems that a scent, like a mist, broke into Qin Shuo's nasal cavity, and instantly turned into something like cotton wool, filling his brain.

Qin Shuo knew that he was surrounded by Yin Jueming's hormones.This damn feeling is unstoppable.

Yin Jueming was on the balcony, under the moonlight.He is leaning sideways, with one hand propped on the railing, the profile of his face is graceful, his posture is elegant when smoking and exhaling, and the hazy silhouette through the curtains has a special sense of beauty.

Sacred, yet profane.

It is fatally attractive and makes the brain send a signal to escape from danger.

For a moment, Qin Shuo wanted to open the curtains, regardless, put aside all the years of inner struggle, just like putting aside some conjectures he didn't want to believe, put Yin Jueming there, and do everything he wanted to do .Let those lips no longer speak harsh words, let those eyes no longer be calm and calm, and let the faint smile on the corners of those lips no longer be so——

A gust of wind blows and the curtains flutter, and the shadow cast by Yin Jueming flutters with the curtains, like a bewitching ghost.

Qin Shuo woke up like a dream, and couldn't believe what he was bewitched just now.

That fragrance, the smell of Yin Jueming's hormones came again.

But Qin Shuo still didn't have the courage to even take a step forward to open the curtain.Even though 1 voices shouted in my heart: tear off this curtain, tear off this barrier, he is yours.

But he never took a step.Instead, he panicked at the vague premonition that had been going on for years.

Yin Jueming, who was a few steps away, of course didn't know this.

He finished a cigarette very slowly, turning his head inadvertently as he extinguished it.Suddenly, his gaze was caught by something on the ground.

He looked up along the black shadow, and saw the relaxation behind the layers of tree shadows.

Yin Jueming glanced out the window quickly, and then mouthed Zhang Chi: You are too courageous.

It's not him who is going to be standing here today, but someone else, who must have been scared to death, and by the way, Zhang Chi will be arrested as a pervert and taken to the Public Security Bureau.

Zhang Chi hid behind the shadow of a tree, and was discovered at this time, but he didn't panic at all.Compared to just now, he has calmed down a lot.

Then Yin Jueming saw that the person hiding behind the shadow of the tree even smiled arrogantly at him.

—You can figure it out.Zhang Chi answered him with a lip motion.

"Qin Shuo." Yin Jueming was still looking in the direction of the tree shadow, "Go out for a while."

Inside the house, Qin Shuo's peeking and speculation were suddenly interrupted.

"What's the matter?" He replied, wanting to go to the balcony.

"Don't come here." Yin Jueming's voice still sounded steady, even his expression didn't change.Holding the lighter, Yin Jueming poked Qin Shuo's chest, walked into the room, and pushed him outside the door, "I suddenly thought of a wonderful conversation, I can't let it go away. Get out, right now."

After saying the last word, Qin Shuo was pushed outside the door by Yin Jueming.

Zhang Chi heard the sound of the bedroom door closing.

After a while, he heard Yin Jueming's voice with a smile: "Romeo, who are you here for tonight?"
