Jian Zhou has survived many lonely and helpless nights alone, and the accumulated strength that keeps gritting his teeth in the dark supports him along the way, growing recklessly and bravely.

But in fact, he is still afraid of the dark, and he still prays secretly every long night, hoping that someone will come to him from the end of the darkness with light, see through his timidity and cowardice, forgive his bad mood and unreasonable troubles, Waiting for the dawn with him.

Fortunately, he waited for that person before dawn came.

Although there are still many things in his heart, the estrangement from his mother, the hurt he suffered in childhood, the shadow left by Meng Fangting, each of them can keep him in place, but he is willing to try to move forward, even if every day It is so difficult and tiring to take a step, but he believes that the child who is always huddled in a corner and yearns for love will definitely be able to come out.

Because the person he wanted to catch was in front.

So he wants to put aside all worries, go forward, run forward, fly forward.

……

Jian Zhou woke up the next day in a much better mood. He adjusted at home for a day. On the first day of the Lunar New Year, he and Shen Jun boarded the plane to Nairobi, Kenya.

The moment the plane soared into the sky, Jian Zhou suddenly felt relieved, and many things seemed not as important as he thought.

"Shen Jun, look outside." Jian Zhou held Shen Jun's hand and pointed to the endless white clouds outside the window, "Does it look like cotton candy?"

"Does this make you think of food?" Shen Jun laughed, "Like, the original or the stuffed one?"

Jian Zhou leaned sideways against the window, watching the dazzling and white clouds constantly churning under the sun, and when he heard Shen Jun's question, he turned his head and smiled at him with crooked eyebrows, and said, "Stupid, of course it is the original flavor, and there is no other color."

Shen Jun rummaged through his bag, found a pack of original flavored cotton candy and put it in Jian Zhou's hand, "Here, the original flavor."

Jian Zhou: "..."

From Los Angeles to Nairobi, it took nearly [-] hours to fly, and there was a flight change in the middle. Jian Zhou rarely showed his youth and vitality as a teenager, and remained excited all the way.

As night fell, the plane gradually became quiet, and the lights were adjusted to a dim light suitable for sleeping. Shen Jun leaned against the back of his chair, a little drowsy, and an energetic child beside him was reading a chemistry book with headphones on. One day took half a small cake in his mouth.

Shen Jun patted Jian Zhou's head, "Stop reading, the light is too dark, it's not good for your eyes."

Jian Zhou turned his head to look at him, wanting to speak, but he hadn't swallowed the small cake in his mouth, his cheeks were stuffed and bulging, his bright black eyes blinked lightly, just like a confused little hamster.

Shen Jun was immediately emptied of blood by the cuteness, suppressed the urge to kiss him, poked Jian Zhou's swollen cheek, and asked, "Don't you usually fly by plane when you play games? You haven't gotten tired of sitting yet. You are so energetic." ?”

Jian Zhou tried hard to swallow the little cake, almost choked, hit his chest twice, and said, "It's different."

"Before, it was with people from the gym." Jian Zhou went out to play games, and basically sat down, before the plane took off, he put on the blindfold and went to sleep, but this time it was different, "This time it is with you. "

Not because of the flight, or anything else, but just being with you makes it all count.

Shen Jun's heart suddenly boiled hot, but he still couldn't hold it back, pulled his jacket over his and Jian Zhou's heads, and quickly kissed Jian Zhou's sweet lips.

The sweet cake aroma lingered in the small space created by the jacket. After kissing Jian Zhou, Shen Jun was still reluctant to leave. He kissed him on the cheek again and said, "Go to sleep for a while. Time to rest."

Jian Zhou nodded, blushed and pulled Shen Jun's coat into his arms, thought for a while, took off an earphone and put it on Shen Jun's ear, held his hand again, and then leaned against the back of the chair and closed his eyes .

There is soothing light music playing in the earphones, some of which he has heard since he was a child. When the lights are turned off and the music is playing in his ears, it seems that he has entered another small world.

He intended to try to share his small world with Shen Jun.

It was not easy to fall asleep completely on the plane. Shen Jun listened to the song in the earphone while half asleep and half awake. The tune seemed to become familiar. He squeezed Jian Zhou's hand and asked, "Did I play it?"

"Well, that time at the orphanage." Jian Zhou replied in a daze, his head tilted and fell on Shen Jun's shoulder, he closed his eyes and changed into a comfortable position, and hugged Shen Jun's arm habitually, "I secretly recorded."

Shen Jun opened his eyes, looked at Jian Zhou leaning on him, with a look of complete trust, and gently kissed Jian Zhou's forehead with his eyes.

Shen Jun suddenly couldn't sleep, he finally understood why Jian Zhou was so energetic all the way.

Even if the journey is long, with lovely people by my side, I want to cherish every moment, and I don't want to waste every second.

The weather in Nairobi was very hot, Jian Zhou put on a plain shirt and jeans and got off the plane, looking fresh and clean, full of youthful spirit.

Shen Jun had already contacted the tour guide before, and after the meeting, he drove directly to the Kenyan National Park that Jian Zhou was thinking about.

This is an open wildlife park with 120 square kilometers of woodland and grassland, with no end in sight.

The tour guide drove them through the park, and Jian Zhou kept staring at the scenery outside, watching all kinds of animals flash before his eyes, some he recognized, and some he had never seen before.

"It's staring at us." Jian Zhou pointed to the giraffe in the distance and said to Shen Jun, then waved at it vigorously.

Jian Zhou was full of energy along the way, full of curiosity about everything.

Seeing the little animals disturbed by their car, Jian Zhou would say worriedly, "I scared them."

Seeing Gao Leng ignoring their animals, Jian Zhou smiled helplessly and said, "It was ignored."

Seeing a ferocious looking animal, Jian Zhou would subconsciously lean towards Shen Jun and hold his hand tightly.

Jian Zhou was rarely like a chatterbox, Shen Jun smiled and listened to him, his eyes were so gentle that water dripped from his eyes.

Shen Jun has long wanted to take Jian Zhou out for a trip, to show him a good look at the world.

It's not just the small piece of land in front of him, there is clearly a wider world in the distance that he can explore.

The last stop was an elephant garden.

It is said that there are many baby elephants in the park, orphans whose parents were killed in the massacre.

The young guide briefly explained some knowledge to them and asked, "Do you want to feed the baby elephant?"

Jian Zhou nodded immediately, "I think."

The tour guide smiled, went to the staff to get a bucket of milk back, and handed it to Jian Zhou, "Don't be afraid, they won't attack people."

Jian Zhou was not afraid, walked over and touched the baby elephant's head, and fed it milk unskillfully.

Shen Jun came over and heard Jian Zhou chatting with the elephant in English, his expression was soft and serious, with a slight smile, like talking to a child.

Jian Zhou heard Shen Jun laughing behind his back, and stared back at him, "What are you laughing at, they must not understand me when I speak Chinese."

Shen Jun asked with a smile, "They can understand if you speak English?"

"Of course." Jian Zhou smiled at the elephant, and was about to leave with the empty bottle when the elephant suddenly took two steps to block him, rubbing his long trunk affectionately against him.

With the height of a small elephant, its nose always rubs against Jian Zhou's waist. Jian Zhou clutched his side waist and hid from itching, but he still did not forget to raise his head and raised his eyebrows proudly at Shen Jun, and said excitedly: "I'll just talk about them." I can understand."

In fact, it is not that the little elephant can understand what Jian Zhou said, but that all things have spirituality. Apart from language, they have their own methods to judge whether a person is good or evil.

But Jian Zhou's occasional childishness is cute and precious, and Shen Jun doesn't want to break his fantasy.

"Yes, I can understand." Shen Jun walked up to Jian Zhou and greeted the little elephant in English.

Jian Zhou can't get along with people, but he is very popular with small animals. After a while, he became acquainted with the small elephants in the garden, and he was a little reluctant to leave when he left.

"They are very poor." Jian Zhou leaned on the car window, looked at the elephant garden that was getting farther and farther away, and sighed, "If I can help them, what good is ivory? It can make people kill innocent people for it s life?"

"I don't know either." Shen Jun rubbed Jian Zhou's hair and said, "But things will always get better and better, at least now there are more people protecting them."

Leaving the park, they also passed a beach that couldn't be named.

From a distance, the sea water is sparkling in the sun, very beautiful, but when you get closer, there are many discarded plastic slippers and garbage on the beach. The tour guide said that every year, thousands of returnees eat plastic bags by mistake. To die, Qian Ding Wan asked them not to litter.

Such a small thing as throwing garbage can kill a life.

It sounds unbelievable, but it happens every day.

Jian Zhou stood on a high place looking at the sea, his clear eyes were filled with compassion, he watched in silence for a while, closed his eyes, let the sea breeze blow his soft black hair, and then... was thrown by Shen Jun without warning His face was full of sea water.

"...you come here." Jian Zhou rushed to Shen County, it was not convenient to run on the beach, he stopped and took off his sand-filled shoes and socks, and stepped on the hot beach with bare feet Go up, grab Shen Jun and throw him into the sea.

The high tide water soaked Jian Zhou's ankles, he was slightly taken aback, and Shen Jun took the opportunity to splash water on his face again.

Jian Zhou was no longer polite, and had a water-splashing battle with Shen Jun.

It wasn't until the sky got a little dark that the battle ended, Jian Zhou grabbed the soaked shirt and looked around blankly, "...I can't find my shoes."

The tour guide said that it may have been taken away by volunteers who came to the beach to pick up garbage.

Jian Zhou searched around resolutely, and finally, under the smiling eyes of the tour guide, Shen Jun carried him back to the car with a blushing face.

Participating in a local Aboriginal bonfire was totally unexpected.

Even though they were strangers who had never met before and didn't even understand the language, they still enthusiastically invited them to participate.

Jian Zhou sat by the blazing bonfire, next to Shen Jun, watching the indigenous people singing and laughing, dancing in a circle, and still felt the warmth in the hot weather.

Jian Zhou asked Shen Jun amidst the excitement, "Do you have any special expectations for me in the future?"

Shen Jun, "Special expectations?"

Jian Zhou explained: "I just hope that I will pursue a career in the future."

"I hope you can do what you like." Shen Jun said, "Don't worry about anyone or anything, you can do whatever you want."

"...I used to think that it would be good to be an ordinary person." Jian Zhou looked at the bonfire, with the warm light in his eyes, and said softly, "But now I think, if I can do something that others cannot , Special things, standing a little higher, can you also make this world a little bit better?"

"The children in the orphanage, Aunt Xiu, the elephants that were hunted, the small animals that were killed by environmental pollution..." Jian Zhou said, "I can't do anything now, but I still want to help them, even if I can in the future It’s good to help them.”

Shen Jun smiled and asked, "Then what do you want to do in the future?"

Jian Zhou sighed, and said distressedly, "I didn't think about it."

"Then think about it slowly." Shen Jun flicked Jian Zhou's frown and said, "What's there to worry about? My dad said a word when he was educating me when I was young. He said that there are two people in this world. There are two kinds of people, one kind is looking forward to the light, and the other kind wants to be the light, but these two kinds of people are equally worthy of respect and cannot be separated.”

Shen Jun hugged Jian Zhou and interlocked his fingers, "Jian Zhou, if you want to be an ordinary person, I will be your light. If you want to be a light, I also believe that you have the power to change the world. When the time comes Cover me."
