Chapter 1: Overpass
It looks very powerful.A very stuffed 50L backpack is not strenuous at all.He wears an old military green thin jacket, and his trousers are also military camouflage.The outfit looks very professional.The other one is fairer and thinner, wearing a pair of glasses, and speaking with a bit of elegance.Wearing a blue sunscreen windbreaker, light-colored jeans, and sneakers.She looks like a student, but you can tell by looking at her face that she must be in her 30s.
When the two entered the door, they were chatting in full swing, they hurriedly greeted Shi Lei, Shi Lei also responded, and then quietly listened to what they had to say.The bearded man is a good storyteller, Shi Lei listened: "The few of us met in Yunnan at the beginning...in the same circle...Da Ying drove to Xinjiang the year before last , from Urumqi all the way to Turpan, Xinjiang is really fucking beautiful, Baili oil field, Danxia landform...Lao Paoer then went to Guangxi...I just came back from Tibet a few days ago."Occasionally. There are also a few words of life emotion "Life is an experience." "This is my consistent way of life. I have no other choice to spend today and this moment happily."
The small eyes also occasionally expressed a few opinions: "I said that neighboring countries look at each other, chickens and dogs hear each other's voices, people don't communicate with each other until they grow old and die, and they don't want anything. Maybe we want too much!"
"Dude, you have a high degree of education. I don't understand what realm you're talking about. But you said that people don't have any desires, pursuits, or desires. What's the point of living? You just talk about the fish we ate today, You just talk about whether it’s cool or not; there’s also boating, and you’re not happy. You just say that life like Lao Tzu’s is too much? Let’s put it this way, if people really don’t ask for anything, then why do you say we build trains? Why do cars, we like to travel so much, why don’t we go straight away? Let me tell you, the most important issue in life is nothing more than making money. The economic base determines the superstructure. If you have money, you can be stingy. If you don’t have money, you can only be generous.” The more the bearded man spoke, the more excited he became, and he already possessed all the advantages of a demagogue: the first is to assert boldly and concisely, ignoring any reasoning and evidence; the second is Keep repeating the point of view, after all, if you tell too many lies, it will become the truth; then there is emotional exaggeration, as a flesh and blood life, absolutely no one can get rid of the emotional contagion between people.The bearded man repeated his point of view forcefully again: "Let me tell you just one thing, if you don't have money, you will starve to death no matter how high you are!" If you can’t think about it, the old class will give you money, and you can take it, don’t be a fool if you have money.”
The small eyes faltered and couldn't speak clearly, and the tangled mood was clearly visible on the face.
When people are in a field they know well but others don't understand, they can't help but say a few more words.This is the case now with Beard.At this time, both of them had packed their things and sat on the edge of their own beds.Shi Lei listened freshly.That's why the bearded man was very happy to have another audience, and when he was speaking, he naturally gave some points to Shi Lei.
☆, escape (2)
The three of them seem to have returned to the age of children - even if they are new to each other, they can play together.The bearded man proposed to have a drink together, and then continued to chat. The three of them shared the money, some went to buy wine, and some went out to cook.The bearded man's character of being good at making friends was fully displayed when he went downstairs to buy wine-he brought back three people when he went upstairs.Shi Lei was actually a little inexplicably excited, as if he was infected by the bearded man's enthusiasm, and he couldn't wait to try the indulgent life.
Six old men were squeezed into a big bed that was put together temporarily, and a small table borrowed from the boss downstairs.There are a few simple appetizers above, a plate of browned small fried fish, next to a roast chicken in a paper packaging bag, and served with boiled peanuts and vegetarian cucumbers.There are two cases of beer at the feet. Originally, in this touristy ancient city, the prices of all kinds of things are increasing, but when people play, especially when a group of people get excited, all reason and money go to the back of their minds.If you have wine today, you will be drunk today.
A group of people chatted in a hurry, and Shi Lei drank beer with all kinds of stories.It turns out that this bearded man is a donkey friend who has been backpacking for six years. He is already a real veteran in the army of poor travelers. He usually relies on stones dumped from his friends, that is, jade necklaces, to make money. Naturally, the money he earns is used everywhere. enjoy life.And those with small eyes who have been out for half a year are just newbies.Naturally, Shi Lei has not yet started.But let’s talk about the three newcomers, one of them has been out for 20 years, a full 20 years.This friend doesn't talk much, and doesn't react much, he just keeps his head down and drinks.It gave Shi Lei the feeling that he was a little numb, and even said that he was not in good spirits. I wonder if he had seen too much, but he seemed to be unable to arouse interest in anything, and his eyes were dull.Ask a word, say a word, don't talk or listen if you don't ask.The other two are students, their homes are nearby, they just went out for a stroll together, and they are still in high school.
Speaking of this, Shi Lei immediately thought of Li Xiang, sighed, and drank a glass of wine.When Shi Lei was outside, he actually got carried away.Arriving in a new environment—looking at a brand new city, listening to a different dialect, living a new life—there is always an illusion of breaking away from the shackles, as if laws, regulations, morality, and conscience have all disappeared.Shi Lei has actually entered a semi-indulgent state unknowingly, he himself is aware of it, but is there anything wrong with this?He often forgot to look at his phone, and Shi Lei accidentally missed the few calls Li Xiang made in the beginning.The text message is also considered invisible, Li Xiang is very strong, Shi Lei thinks he can face this situation completely.His heart that couldn't bear to push Li Xiang away just escaped by ignoring it.
The noise reached 2 o'clock in the middle of the night, and the wine was gone, and the words were exhausted.The repeated words are no longer important. Drinking heavily and talking wildly have become symbols of wanton youth.The bearded man slapped the table: "Let's take a night tour of the Tuojiang River, how about stepping on the river and climbing the tower to watch the sunrise!" The two children acted as voice actors for a night, and they were just immature ages. Not yet finalized, loves adventure and novelty, otherwise I wouldn't come to drink together at all.And the experiences described by the adults in front of them are undoubtedly a huge attraction to them.So as soon as the bearded man said something, the two immediately agreed. The 20-year brother turned around and fell asleep expressionlessly.Shi Lei, who is not used to staying up late, is also drowsy at this time.The little glasses shied away from drinking too much.When the bearded man left, he sneered a few words, but no one cared.
Shi Lei looked at the figures of the two younger brothers before going to bed, and couldn't help but think of Li Xiang again, but he was still overwhelmed by exhaustion and soon fell asleep.
The next day, Shi Lei's biological clock woke him up on time in the morning, even though he was sleepy to death.The bearded man came back at some point, and he was sleeping soundly on all fours.Shi Lei woke up and fell asleep at ten o'clock, he was so hungry that he had to get up to eat.His hangover body couldn't stand too much torture, so Shi Lei tidied himself hastily.I sat down at the small noodle shop he frequented recently, and when I ordered, I told the boss to make it lighter.The one above is a 50 to 300-year-old uncle, time has accumulated layers of wrinkles on his hands - dark and thin wrinkled hands - Shi Lei can see some beauty.After thanking him, Shi Lei skimmed off the slick oil and excess seasoning with a spoon, and wolfed down a bowl of noodles in clear soup.Hungry for too long, eating too fast, and unconscious, caused Shi Lei to finish eating noodles and drinking noodle soup, only to realize that he had eaten too much.Walking along the river for a while, during the non-tourist time period, there are fewer tourists, and there are naturally more locals.Shi Lei slowly looked at the various buildings in front of him and the people passing by on the street. In this ancient city spanning more than [-] years, time seemed to be frozen. People were leisurely and leisurely; The people having lunch chatted and laughed lively with each other, although Shi Lei still had some difficulty listening to their local dialect, but he could tell the joy in the words by listening to the voice.When they went back, those people were still sleeping soundly, Shi Lei spent the afternoon in the downstairs hall with a book in his arms.
At night, the bearded body, which likes to be stimulated, woke up again and yelled a few people to go to the bar.With little hesitation, Shi Lei followed.Hurting and drinking, the relationship between several people became intimate almost immediately.Especially those two high school students, they are simply mediators between people, lively and active, adoring everyone.
The clear and indigo-green river water during the day has now been illuminated magnificently by the various colored lights of the merchants along the river.The bearded man walked in front, and led several people to a high bar with ease - gorgeous lights, passionate DJ, and hard-working resident singers.There is a canvas pasted at the entrance, a simple painting of men and women kissing, a bit like the non-mainstream that was popular a few years ago.But the words on it are very conspicuous: those who want to have an affair belong to the right to have an affair.No literary talent, no background, no logic, written on both sides of the painting like a pair of couplets.But this is enough for many people, simple and clear, attractive and dazzling.
At this time, the sound-proof room is full of lights, the singer on the stage leads the atmosphere of the audience, the DJ on the side is waving his hands frantically, the people on the dance floor are swaying crazily with the music, and the girls in the audience are cheering for each other from time to time. The handsome guys on the stage screamed.As soon as the few people were seated, they quickly placed their orders, and the waiter quickly served the wine.The world across the wine bottle began to change color.
While drinking wine, the bearded man chatted absently with a few people, his eyes scanning the audience sharply.The two children exchanged glasses excitedly, and their small eyes were busy striking up a conversation with a beautiful woman with coquettish makeup beside them. The 20-year-old brother is still drinking wine mechanically like yesterday, and the bearded man here smiles, showing the joy of finding the prey on his face.He adjusted his new clothes for going out. His upper body is a tight-fitting black short-sleeved denim jacket, and he is paired with black slacks and canvas shoes. He is not very handsome, but he is not so handsome under his unique temperament. sexy.
Shi Lei rubbed his head again, went outside to take a few breaths of fresh air, hid a little far away, and finally found a quiet place.Reflecting on my brain-dead behavior, I obviously have a headache and a lot of mental fatigue, but I just can't help but want to come out and indulge.He took out the mobile phone in his pocket, fumbled for a long time, and finally called Qin Haiyang.On the phone, Qin Haiyang talked about a lot of things around him, and asked Shi Lei how he was doing outside, Shi Lei answered every question he asked.Finally, Qin Haiyang asked him when he would be back. "I don't know? Do whatever you want, go back when you've had enough fun." "Okay, then you can relax. Is there enough money to spend? If not, just say no. I have savings, and so does Xu Jiao." Shi Lei hung up the phone , and fumbled for the phone a few times like just now, it looked like he had drunk too much, but in his heart he was a little unsatisfied.Suddenly he didn't want to go back, Shi Lei wandered out of the river bank, but the singing in a music bar attracted him, his mind drove his feet to that direction without thinking.
It was much quieter here, Shi Lei walked through two or three pairs of tables, and found a seat by the window.But because it is in the city, the river is across a street, so there is only Qingshi Street outside the window, there are a few lazy pedestrians and a few happy tourists passing by.Shi Lei saw that others in the room were whispering and chatting with each other, suddenly a sense of loneliness invaded him in an instant.And that singing voice seems to be constantly reminding him, "I am drifting in the wilderness, and the end of the drift is your love and tolerance".The singer on the stage also seemed to be immersed in that emotion, hugged Mike, half-closed his eyes, and couldn't help shaking his body gently, as if he was sad or lamenting.Shi Lei remembered what Li Xiang told himself: "To feel life." Shi Lei saw the singer finally opened his eyes, the eyes were full of light, and a beautiful dream came out of his mouth, "How much pain, with you and me together Spend it and bear it together; how much happiness there is, you and I can enjoy it together and be touched together"
The end of the song was still going on, and when the musician pressed the last note, there was a round of applause from the audience.And at this moment, a girl opposite caught Shi Lei's attention.
It was a woman who was also sitting alone, and Shi Lei who was sitting diagonally across from her could clearly see her.With a thin figure, Shi Lei looked too thin, his thin upper body and collarbone could be vaguely seen under the loose clothes.Her shoulder-length hair was gathered behind her ears, what attracted Shi Lei the most was her nude makeup and the casualness of her whole body.And the look of staring at the table casually, seemed a little tired, and seemed to be recalling the past.Shi Lei ordered a fruit wine and walked towards her.The woman raised her head, not surprised, but smiled at Shi Lei, made a silent gesture, and turned her head to the stage.Shi Lei followed his gaze, the singer was already singing another song.At such a close distance, Shi Lei still resisted the urge to observe her, and sat across from her clearly to listen to the song together.
end of song.Shi Lei looked at her, her face was just like her own, with thin cheeks and slightly protruding cheekbones.With her eyes lowered even more now, shutting out almost everything, she could relive that song with all her heart.Finally, when she opened her eyes, Shi Lei realized that when she opened her eyes, she also squinted lazily.
"I like this song very much." The woman's voice was a little hoarse, but clear, her eyes were still hanging on the table. "When I hear it, it always makes me want to cry. It feels like a poem, written for him as well as for me." Only then did the woman formally raise her head, and Shi Lei spoke for the first time. Second eye contact.Shi Lei saw the wrinkles at the corners of her eyes and her not-so-smooth skin, and guessed her age, and she was talking to Shi Lei like a big sister, with a calm and gentle smile on the corner of her mouth. With a touch of that common woman's caress and shyness.
"He sings with concentration, you listen with affection, and the resonance caused by the music is also a kind of comfort." Shi Lei tried to experience this feeling, after all, he was also moved by a song just now. "It's not considered lonely, is it?" Shi Lei was not sure about the latter sentence.
The woman smiled. "You came out to play too?" The topic returned to the normal track that the public often chatted about.
Shi Lei nodded.Like most men, the gentleman's server poured two glasses of wine, the fragrance of plum wine wafted out, and placed it by the woman's hand.I didn't forget to explain that this wine is newly opened, so you can drink it with confidence.
"Thank you for the wine." The woman toasted, Shi Lei clinked glasses with her, half of the glass of wine poured into his stomach, as if some enthusiasm was brewing in a hazy way.
"When you look at travelers coming and going, most of the time they are either looking for happiness or getting rid of pain." The woman was still chatting casually, as if she had seen through everything.
And Shi Lei was shocked when he heard this sentence.
When Shi Lei returned to the hotel, except for the bearded people, everyone else came back.When Shi Lei asked, looking at the expressions of the other people, everything became clear.
But the bearded man who originally meant that he could not go back at night appeared at one o'clock in the morning, his small eyes whistled and smiled secretly, and the bearded man raised the corners of his mouth very proudly: "There are only two things in this world that cannot be brought to bed, and that is women and men." money."
When Shi Lei heard this sentence on the bed, he frowned in disgust, but he didn't intend to argue.Just like others can't convince him, he doesn't want to persuade others.The next day, after Shi Lei settled the money with them, he left them on the road without any relationship.
The woman's words from yesterday are still lingering in her mind, but knowing doesn't mean doing it - the acceptance of the conscious cognition does not mean that the emotion is also accepted.Shi Lei still doesn't want to go back now, he still wants to see - the mountains that Li Xiang has climbed, the fields he has walked in, the streets he has stopped in - those things that he thinks are beautiful.
At the end of the year, Li Xiang's phone calls were extraordinarily frequent, and there was a tendency to keep calling until you answered if you didn't answer.As soon as Shi Lei answered the phone, Li Xiang scolded him head and face.Then, as if remembering the real purpose of the phone call, his voice changed into his unique sensitivity and fragility, and briefly described his lonely college life, especially emphatically describing his loneliness and loneliness: " Even if the phone is about to run out of power, I will keep it in my pocket, thinking that I will lose someone’s contact. Why can’t I experience the kind of romantic drinking alone that is mentioned in poetry? "
Before Shi Lei went home, he specially went to Li Xiang's school. The winter wind from the northern country made people feel the bone-chilling cold immediately.When he got out of the train station, Shi Lei saw Li Xiang standing at the exit. He was wearing a cheap gray cotton jacket with oil paint on the left sleeve.His complexion was good, and the emotion on his face was also very excited. Seeing Shi Lei was like a bear hug, Shi Lei hugged him with his backhand, and at the same time he let out a long sigh of relief.
It was the only time the two saw each other for the next three years.
The author has something to say: "Drink Alone"
Carrying a cell phone that's dying
maybe in anticipation of someone contacting
Sitting alone and drinking at romantic nights in poetry
Why can't I find that kind of happiness
always thinking too much
Worrying about the consequences
always have too many scruples
Rational thin line wrapped layer by layer
Loneliness and loneliness are rehearsing a depressive drama together
Depressed mood longs for emotional confluence
Actively seek, or passively close, or wait for a chance encounter
☆, save (1)
Shi Lei worked overtime for himself in the company. He was busy until after six o'clock, and only thought of going home when he was hungry and dizzy.After entering the house, he saw Li Xiang in a blink of an eye. Although Li Xiang had been back for two days, Shi Lei still felt strange—because his mind was always conflicted by his familiarity with Li Xiang and the discomfort of having someone more at home. between.
In the house at this time, the familiar drawing board is propped in front of the window, and the brush in the hand of the person on the high stool is about to fall, one foot is touching the ground, and the other foot is dangling slightly in the air.And the formal Shi Lei's home clothes on his body generally fit well.There was no light in the room, so even though the sky was shining in, it still looked dim.Li Xiang turned his face sideways, Shi Lei couldn't see his expression.But the picture of 'Painter under the Backlight' in front of me is pleasing to the eye.However, Shi Lei's chest was already hungry, and the flowers in front of him were no longer worth the bread.
"Very hungry, master, do you have something to satisfy your hunger?"
Li Xiang also threw the paintbrush, stepped on his slippers and jumped off the stool, calling Shi Lei's name, and enthusiastically helped Shi Lei take off his clothes and change his shoes.Shi Lei couldn't bear this kindness, so he quickly stopped him with his hands: "Nothing to show kindness, it's either adultery or robbery."
"I'm afraid you're tired. Take care of yourself. I'll serve the meal."
Looking at Li Xiang's back, Shi Lei felt as if everything had changed, the immature young man already had the sharpness and sharpness of youth.But Li Xiang's innocence and beauty, and his ease and sincerity when getting along, seem to have not changed.
Li Xiang's cooking skills are still the same, but they are not as refined as before, but have a simple taste of home.
"Yes, are you born with this culinary skill?"
"Of course not. I've been cooking by myself these past few years."
Shi Lei drank a bowl of soup first, to appease his irritable appetite due to hunger, and then began to eat slowly.
"I actually dropped out in my freshman year."
Shi Lei was a little surprised, but felt that it was nothing unusual for this kind of thing to happen to Li Xiang.
"I now open a small shop for painting supplies near a junior high school there. I usually play with the children and teach them how to paint. They are all cute and energetic, but they are also very naive. Occasionally I also vote A few sketches and so on, every time the draft fee is called, there is always an illusion of picking up money on the street. Because, ah, I feel like I haven’t done anything! Haha.”
When going to bed at night, because Shi Lei rented the house this time considering the rent, there is only one bedroom and one living room.Li Xiang lived in Shi Lei's bedroom in a stately manner. Shi Lei's house is still as simple as before, so the bed is also a very simple 1.5-meter bed.Shi Lei wanted to sleep on the sofa from the bottom of his heart and emotionally, but his rationality told him that it would be too 'no money here'.So Shi Leilai read a book on the sofa and enforced the procrastination policy.
"Brother, it's time to sleep."
"Ah."
"Brother, it's almost 12 o'clock."
"Ah."
Sitting next to him, Li Xiang yawned.Although Shi Lei didn't want to, he couldn't help being infected, so he hit one.
"If you're sleepy, go to sleep first."
"Brother, why are you?" Li Xiang showed a cunning look: "You don't want to sleep in the same bed with me? Is it because you are afraid? Or is it looking forward to it?" Li Xiang has already moved in front of him unconsciously.
Shi Lei stopped Li Xiang from continuing to approach: "Why did you come back?"
Li Xiang ignored this question and continued to explore: "Just like it is now, why are you stepping back, you are afraid that I will kiss you!"
"Fart. Shut up."
"Hey, brother, don't be angry. I'm just kidding, I just think we should go to bed, I'm so sleepy!" Shi Lei's brain suddenly froze, and he was completely overwhelmed by Li Xiang's bullying routine. Messed up the routine.I didn't realize it until I was lying on the bed, "When a fist approaches, people will hide; if a pile of shit approaches, people will hide too!" 'Shi Lei felt that he should refute him, but Li Xiang beside him was already fast asleep.
The next day, Shi Lei ate and went to work as usual.Li Xiang put a piece of chocolate in his handbag when he left.Now it is the summer vacation, and the junior high school is on vacation, and Li Xiang is also happy to have a leisurely time.Why did he come back this time?Shi Lei asked him, and Li Xiang also asked himself.In fact, at the beginning, I really just wanted to come back to see Shi Lei, I missed him a little, but not strongly.In fact, Li Xiang has lived a fulfilling life in the past two years. In his life, there are his small jobs and things he likes, and there is also a social circle that he met because of painting. Friends who are compatible and appreciate each other.But when he saw Shi Lei, the torrent of longing washed over him irresistibly, and the peace and warmth of being together nourished him.And the most amazing thing is that Shi Lei can always give him the most appropriate emotional response.
After staying for a week, besides being with Shi Lei every day, Li Xiang was painting or meeting with classmates.Li Xiang found out that Shi Lei had quit smoking, and heard that Brother Haiyang and Sister Xu Jiao were getting engaged.Li Xiangcai suddenly realized that Shi Lei is already 28, and he doesn't know if his family is urging him to get married?Have you had a girlfriend in the past few years?So when Li Xiang took advantage of Shi Lei's going to work that day, he did something that he thought was very boring at the time.He searched Shi Lei's house from beginning to end, looking for traces of other people's existence. When he found a box of condoms and found that he had used two, Li Xiang was very annoyed.On the one hand, he was sadly guessing when it was used, on the other hand, he regretted why he didn't check it when he just came back.At the same time, he extremely condemned and despised his own small belly.But the emotion came and went quickly.When Shi Lei came home, Li Xiang was able to calmly lie that the house was in a mess, just because he had to clean up the house.
"Brother, I invited Brother Haiyang and the others to have dinner this weekend."
"Yeah. That's good." Shi Lei wiped the dishes and rubbed his neck, "Xiao Xiang, press my shoulders for me, it's so sore."
The two squeezed together on a sofa, Shi Lei lay on his stomach, Li Xiang sat sideways on the edge of the sofa, fingering hard.
"It hurts, it hurts, it hurts!" Shi Lei yelled indistinctly, as if he had been tortured.
"I haven't started to push hard yet!" He said and pressed it twice.
Shi Lei screamed: "It's okay, I'll bear it."
"You have been sitting for too long at work, and you don't pay attention to your body. Have you gone out to exercise recently?"
"Does a walk count?"
"Not strong enough."
"Ah, ah, ah, it hurts, forget it, it's tomorrow." After pinching for less than 5 minutes, Shi Lei collapsed. "Come on, let me give you a massage too, it's very comfortable."
The two changed positions, Li Xiangshun lay down obediently, Shi Lei recalled Li Xiang's technique, and fumbled to learn.
"Do you still have the idea of going homeless?" Shi Lei casually thought of this topic.
"No." Li Xiang blurted out without thinking, as if he had thought about this question seriously: "Actually, I always thought that I saw other people's lives, but in fact, it was also a projection of my own life."
"Yo, keep talking." Shi Lei heard the interest.
"Okay, then don't stop your hands."
Shi Lei continued to press.
Li Xiang seemed to be thinking about his words. The conversation between the two had always been like this. They were not in a hurry to express themselves, and both were willing to wait for the other party to think slowly and respond slowly. "Actually, there is no need to go that far. I used to think that I would travel all over the world, until later I realized that it was just me escaping again and again, escaping the depression at home, escaping from places that made me feel lonely .I didn’t realize until I met you that I actually want to stop.” Li Xiang got up and sat up facing Shi Lei, looking very happy, holding Shi Lei’s hand: “Actually, there is no need to go to various places. Different places, so-called different scenery. Every time we go to the back mountain, the scenery on the back mountain is different, some flowers fall, some leaves rise, the light and shadow of the forest under the rays of the setting sun, and Every time I see you - you are changing." The two looked at each other with a general focus, and Li Xiang's voice was very soft, but not lacking in clarity: "I am also changing! I can finally I understand why two people can live a lifetime for a long time, because everyone is naturally giving each other magic tricks of life."
Li Xiang's eyes were too focused, Shi Lei moved his eyes away, Li Xiang also let go of his hand naturally, and did not continue talking.Shi Lei turned around and went to look for something casually, intending to distract himself; Li Xiang also ran to draw in a shy, turbulent and silent manner.
Qin Haiyang still came arm in arm with Xu Jiao.Qin Hai is still the same, Xu Jiao has changed a lot, her clothes are already very feminine, and she even put on light makeup.But as soon as he spoke, it was all exposed: "Little brother, how did you become so handsome."
Xu Jiao and Li Xiang were cooking in the kitchen, and Shi Lei and Qin Hai could hear their laughter in the living room.
Qin Hai shrugged his shoulders: "My wife and children are hot on the kang, this is the life I want, it's pretty good." In fact, most of the time, the more people there are at the party, the more empty the words will be.But when there are few people, it is suitable to talk about some private things.Qin Hai asked about Li Xiang, Shi Lei spread his hands and said 'don't know'.
"Boss, Boss, little brother's cooking is so delicious, can you learn it too?"
"it is good."
"Boss, boss, my little brother's speech is too meaningful, because I can't understand it, let our children learn to draw in the future, okay?"
"......All right."
Having a meal involved the lives of two generations of his family, Qin Hai wanted to cry but had no tears.
☆、Final Salvation (2)
As soon as the dishes were served, Qin Hai poured wine for himself to taste. As Shi Lei said, Qin Hai could not only pour himself a drink, but he was also good at persuading him to drink—because he always felt that happy things should be learned to share.And Qin Hai's hearty personality, coupled with the effect of alcohol.One person can take up half the sky, remember the things that he thinks are fun, the stupid things that Shi Lei and Xu Jiao's friends have done, good news, big and small, think of that and say that.Pushing the cups and changing the cups, they ate a meal for three or four hours. After drinking, they were sober. Li Xiang sent Qin Hai and Xu Jiao away.Shi Lei sat on the sofa blankly, Li Xiang walked towards Shi Lei, looking at him persistently.Shi Lei didn't want to escape either, so he looked back.Until Li Xiang walked in, propping up the sofa and sitting next to Shi Lei.The two are very close, like a drunk person paralyzed together, or like two people are intimately dependent on each other.
"elder brother."
"Ah."
Sitting silently, enjoying the tacit understanding honed in this silent long life, and relaxing the body and nerves together.
"Brother, do you know? Actually, I used to admire you very much."
"Yeah." Shi Lei still closed his eyes, this topic didn't surprise him.
"It feels like you know everything, and you have a lot of personality, which is different from other people I've met. Of course, what attracts me the most is the warmth on your body."
Shi Lei smiled, very shallowly.
"However, there is one thing that you not only don't understand, but also can't see through."
"What is it?" Shi Lei's desire for knowledge became active, he carefully observed Li Xiang's face, his eyes were a little out of focus, he had many expressions, and he often made mischief.Li Xiang felt that there was a kind of drunken beauty in Shi Lei's body, a kind of pure beauty after stripped of external defenses, camouflage in front of outsiders, and secular rational restraint. He felt that his painting had found the theme for the next time.So the corner of his mouth smiled unconsciously.
Shi Lei shook his head: "You just want to make me feel curious, so I don't want to be fooled. Hmph." The two breaths intertwined, as long as Li Xiang moved forward a little, Li Xiang could kiss Shi Lei's lips.Li Xiang felt that he was being tempted, but Shi Lei didn't seem to realize what was going to happen at all.Li Xiang watched as he struggled in his heart and kept moving forward, his breath getting stronger and stronger, his eyes quickly scanned Shi Lei's face, observing Shi Lei's expression.bumped into!The tip of lips rubbed against each other, so subtle and yet so strong, Li Xiang raised his hand to hug Shi Lei's head, wanting to deepen the kiss.But in the next second, "Boom", Shi Lei bumped his head into the daring Li Xiang.Seeing Shi Lei's serious expression, Li Xiang pretended to be a child who did something wrong, lowered his head and hid his face, not daring to look at Shi Lei, but in his heart he regretted frantically why he didn't move faster or be tougher just now ,well!
The drunk and beautiful Shi Lei disappeared after he sobered up.After work, Shi Lei is in a completely different state. When Li Xiang went to deliver lunch several times, he saw Shi Lei like that. His concentration and clarity when reading documents, his confidence in talking with people, his enthusiasm for completing work, and Calm when speaking on the stage. Shi Lei, who had just finished a training session, walked off the stage. Li Xiang got up from the seat below to greet him, and then the two walked out together.Shi Lei quickly stretched his waist when no one was around: "It's so comfortable, you've been sitting below for so long, are you tired?"
Shi Lei weighed the work notes in his hand, it was full of years of groping and accumulation: "If I don't write this book, I will get it."
"Of course you can!"
Dare to think before daring to do it, Shi Lei sorted it out after work, and submitted two manuscripts.
And Li Xiang also felt that the time had come, so he stuffed his own "little man's book" on Shi Lei's bookshelf.
Li Xiang kept drawing in front of the window most of the time.Shi Lei also wanted to occasionally stand behind him and watch for a while like before, but Li Xiang was too focused on painting.Today is also the same, Shi Lei saw that Li Xiang's brushwork was very smooth, and the movements of his wrists were very beautiful, and soon a young man lying on his back came to life.
"Brother, let's buy a car, what do you think?"
"Che, do you have a driver's license?" Shi Lei was suspicious.
"Hmm!" Li Xiang's strange smile aggravated Shi Lei's suspicion.
Sure enough, the next afternoon, Li Xiang rode a mountain bike, which was still new.A rear seat was added, as well as thoughtful cushions, fenders, and pedal bars.Li Xiang is dressed in sportswear, each with a helmet: "Cool! Well, I don't even think it's cool. Come up."
When the two entered the door, they were chatting in full swing, they hurriedly greeted Shi Lei, Shi Lei also responded, and then quietly listened to what they had to say.The bearded man is a good storyteller, Shi Lei listened: "The few of us met in Yunnan at the beginning...in the same circle...Da Ying drove to Xinjiang the year before last , from Urumqi all the way to Turpan, Xinjiang is really fucking beautiful, Baili oil field, Danxia landform...Lao Paoer then went to Guangxi...I just came back from Tibet a few days ago."Occasionally. There are also a few words of life emotion "Life is an experience." "This is my consistent way of life. I have no other choice to spend today and this moment happily."
The small eyes also occasionally expressed a few opinions: "I said that neighboring countries look at each other, chickens and dogs hear each other's voices, people don't communicate with each other until they grow old and die, and they don't want anything. Maybe we want too much!"
"Dude, you have a high degree of education. I don't understand what realm you're talking about. But you said that people don't have any desires, pursuits, or desires. What's the point of living? You just talk about the fish we ate today, You just talk about whether it’s cool or not; there’s also boating, and you’re not happy. You just say that life like Lao Tzu’s is too much? Let’s put it this way, if people really don’t ask for anything, then why do you say we build trains? Why do cars, we like to travel so much, why don’t we go straight away? Let me tell you, the most important issue in life is nothing more than making money. The economic base determines the superstructure. If you have money, you can be stingy. If you don’t have money, you can only be generous.” The more the bearded man spoke, the more excited he became, and he already possessed all the advantages of a demagogue: the first is to assert boldly and concisely, ignoring any reasoning and evidence; the second is Keep repeating the point of view, after all, if you tell too many lies, it will become the truth; then there is emotional exaggeration, as a flesh and blood life, absolutely no one can get rid of the emotional contagion between people.The bearded man repeated his point of view forcefully again: "Let me tell you just one thing, if you don't have money, you will starve to death no matter how high you are!" If you can’t think about it, the old class will give you money, and you can take it, don’t be a fool if you have money.”
The small eyes faltered and couldn't speak clearly, and the tangled mood was clearly visible on the face.
When people are in a field they know well but others don't understand, they can't help but say a few more words.This is the case now with Beard.At this time, both of them had packed their things and sat on the edge of their own beds.Shi Lei listened freshly.That's why the bearded man was very happy to have another audience, and when he was speaking, he naturally gave some points to Shi Lei.
☆, escape (2)
The three of them seem to have returned to the age of children - even if they are new to each other, they can play together.The bearded man proposed to have a drink together, and then continued to chat. The three of them shared the money, some went to buy wine, and some went out to cook.The bearded man's character of being good at making friends was fully displayed when he went downstairs to buy wine-he brought back three people when he went upstairs.Shi Lei was actually a little inexplicably excited, as if he was infected by the bearded man's enthusiasm, and he couldn't wait to try the indulgent life.
Six old men were squeezed into a big bed that was put together temporarily, and a small table borrowed from the boss downstairs.There are a few simple appetizers above, a plate of browned small fried fish, next to a roast chicken in a paper packaging bag, and served with boiled peanuts and vegetarian cucumbers.There are two cases of beer at the feet. Originally, in this touristy ancient city, the prices of all kinds of things are increasing, but when people play, especially when a group of people get excited, all reason and money go to the back of their minds.If you have wine today, you will be drunk today.
A group of people chatted in a hurry, and Shi Lei drank beer with all kinds of stories.It turns out that this bearded man is a donkey friend who has been backpacking for six years. He is already a real veteran in the army of poor travelers. He usually relies on stones dumped from his friends, that is, jade necklaces, to make money. Naturally, the money he earns is used everywhere. enjoy life.And those with small eyes who have been out for half a year are just newbies.Naturally, Shi Lei has not yet started.But let’s talk about the three newcomers, one of them has been out for 20 years, a full 20 years.This friend doesn't talk much, and doesn't react much, he just keeps his head down and drinks.It gave Shi Lei the feeling that he was a little numb, and even said that he was not in good spirits. I wonder if he had seen too much, but he seemed to be unable to arouse interest in anything, and his eyes were dull.Ask a word, say a word, don't talk or listen if you don't ask.The other two are students, their homes are nearby, they just went out for a stroll together, and they are still in high school.
Speaking of this, Shi Lei immediately thought of Li Xiang, sighed, and drank a glass of wine.When Shi Lei was outside, he actually got carried away.Arriving in a new environment—looking at a brand new city, listening to a different dialect, living a new life—there is always an illusion of breaking away from the shackles, as if laws, regulations, morality, and conscience have all disappeared.Shi Lei has actually entered a semi-indulgent state unknowingly, he himself is aware of it, but is there anything wrong with this?He often forgot to look at his phone, and Shi Lei accidentally missed the few calls Li Xiang made in the beginning.The text message is also considered invisible, Li Xiang is very strong, Shi Lei thinks he can face this situation completely.His heart that couldn't bear to push Li Xiang away just escaped by ignoring it.
The noise reached 2 o'clock in the middle of the night, and the wine was gone, and the words were exhausted.The repeated words are no longer important. Drinking heavily and talking wildly have become symbols of wanton youth.The bearded man slapped the table: "Let's take a night tour of the Tuojiang River, how about stepping on the river and climbing the tower to watch the sunrise!" The two children acted as voice actors for a night, and they were just immature ages. Not yet finalized, loves adventure and novelty, otherwise I wouldn't come to drink together at all.And the experiences described by the adults in front of them are undoubtedly a huge attraction to them.So as soon as the bearded man said something, the two immediately agreed. The 20-year brother turned around and fell asleep expressionlessly.Shi Lei, who is not used to staying up late, is also drowsy at this time.The little glasses shied away from drinking too much.When the bearded man left, he sneered a few words, but no one cared.
Shi Lei looked at the figures of the two younger brothers before going to bed, and couldn't help but think of Li Xiang again, but he was still overwhelmed by exhaustion and soon fell asleep.
The next day, Shi Lei's biological clock woke him up on time in the morning, even though he was sleepy to death.The bearded man came back at some point, and he was sleeping soundly on all fours.Shi Lei woke up and fell asleep at ten o'clock, he was so hungry that he had to get up to eat.His hangover body couldn't stand too much torture, so Shi Lei tidied himself hastily.I sat down at the small noodle shop he frequented recently, and when I ordered, I told the boss to make it lighter.The one above is a 50 to 300-year-old uncle, time has accumulated layers of wrinkles on his hands - dark and thin wrinkled hands - Shi Lei can see some beauty.After thanking him, Shi Lei skimmed off the slick oil and excess seasoning with a spoon, and wolfed down a bowl of noodles in clear soup.Hungry for too long, eating too fast, and unconscious, caused Shi Lei to finish eating noodles and drinking noodle soup, only to realize that he had eaten too much.Walking along the river for a while, during the non-tourist time period, there are fewer tourists, and there are naturally more locals.Shi Lei slowly looked at the various buildings in front of him and the people passing by on the street. In this ancient city spanning more than [-] years, time seemed to be frozen. People were leisurely and leisurely; The people having lunch chatted and laughed lively with each other, although Shi Lei still had some difficulty listening to their local dialect, but he could tell the joy in the words by listening to the voice.When they went back, those people were still sleeping soundly, Shi Lei spent the afternoon in the downstairs hall with a book in his arms.
At night, the bearded body, which likes to be stimulated, woke up again and yelled a few people to go to the bar.With little hesitation, Shi Lei followed.Hurting and drinking, the relationship between several people became intimate almost immediately.Especially those two high school students, they are simply mediators between people, lively and active, adoring everyone.
The clear and indigo-green river water during the day has now been illuminated magnificently by the various colored lights of the merchants along the river.The bearded man walked in front, and led several people to a high bar with ease - gorgeous lights, passionate DJ, and hard-working resident singers.There is a canvas pasted at the entrance, a simple painting of men and women kissing, a bit like the non-mainstream that was popular a few years ago.But the words on it are very conspicuous: those who want to have an affair belong to the right to have an affair.No literary talent, no background, no logic, written on both sides of the painting like a pair of couplets.But this is enough for many people, simple and clear, attractive and dazzling.
At this time, the sound-proof room is full of lights, the singer on the stage leads the atmosphere of the audience, the DJ on the side is waving his hands frantically, the people on the dance floor are swaying crazily with the music, and the girls in the audience are cheering for each other from time to time. The handsome guys on the stage screamed.As soon as the few people were seated, they quickly placed their orders, and the waiter quickly served the wine.The world across the wine bottle began to change color.
While drinking wine, the bearded man chatted absently with a few people, his eyes scanning the audience sharply.The two children exchanged glasses excitedly, and their small eyes were busy striking up a conversation with a beautiful woman with coquettish makeup beside them. The 20-year-old brother is still drinking wine mechanically like yesterday, and the bearded man here smiles, showing the joy of finding the prey on his face.He adjusted his new clothes for going out. His upper body is a tight-fitting black short-sleeved denim jacket, and he is paired with black slacks and canvas shoes. He is not very handsome, but he is not so handsome under his unique temperament. sexy.
Shi Lei rubbed his head again, went outside to take a few breaths of fresh air, hid a little far away, and finally found a quiet place.Reflecting on my brain-dead behavior, I obviously have a headache and a lot of mental fatigue, but I just can't help but want to come out and indulge.He took out the mobile phone in his pocket, fumbled for a long time, and finally called Qin Haiyang.On the phone, Qin Haiyang talked about a lot of things around him, and asked Shi Lei how he was doing outside, Shi Lei answered every question he asked.Finally, Qin Haiyang asked him when he would be back. "I don't know? Do whatever you want, go back when you've had enough fun." "Okay, then you can relax. Is there enough money to spend? If not, just say no. I have savings, and so does Xu Jiao." Shi Lei hung up the phone , and fumbled for the phone a few times like just now, it looked like he had drunk too much, but in his heart he was a little unsatisfied.Suddenly he didn't want to go back, Shi Lei wandered out of the river bank, but the singing in a music bar attracted him, his mind drove his feet to that direction without thinking.
It was much quieter here, Shi Lei walked through two or three pairs of tables, and found a seat by the window.But because it is in the city, the river is across a street, so there is only Qingshi Street outside the window, there are a few lazy pedestrians and a few happy tourists passing by.Shi Lei saw that others in the room were whispering and chatting with each other, suddenly a sense of loneliness invaded him in an instant.And that singing voice seems to be constantly reminding him, "I am drifting in the wilderness, and the end of the drift is your love and tolerance".The singer on the stage also seemed to be immersed in that emotion, hugged Mike, half-closed his eyes, and couldn't help shaking his body gently, as if he was sad or lamenting.Shi Lei remembered what Li Xiang told himself: "To feel life." Shi Lei saw the singer finally opened his eyes, the eyes were full of light, and a beautiful dream came out of his mouth, "How much pain, with you and me together Spend it and bear it together; how much happiness there is, you and I can enjoy it together and be touched together"
The end of the song was still going on, and when the musician pressed the last note, there was a round of applause from the audience.And at this moment, a girl opposite caught Shi Lei's attention.
It was a woman who was also sitting alone, and Shi Lei who was sitting diagonally across from her could clearly see her.With a thin figure, Shi Lei looked too thin, his thin upper body and collarbone could be vaguely seen under the loose clothes.Her shoulder-length hair was gathered behind her ears, what attracted Shi Lei the most was her nude makeup and the casualness of her whole body.And the look of staring at the table casually, seemed a little tired, and seemed to be recalling the past.Shi Lei ordered a fruit wine and walked towards her.The woman raised her head, not surprised, but smiled at Shi Lei, made a silent gesture, and turned her head to the stage.Shi Lei followed his gaze, the singer was already singing another song.At such a close distance, Shi Lei still resisted the urge to observe her, and sat across from her clearly to listen to the song together.
end of song.Shi Lei looked at her, her face was just like her own, with thin cheeks and slightly protruding cheekbones.With her eyes lowered even more now, shutting out almost everything, she could relive that song with all her heart.Finally, when she opened her eyes, Shi Lei realized that when she opened her eyes, she also squinted lazily.
"I like this song very much." The woman's voice was a little hoarse, but clear, her eyes were still hanging on the table. "When I hear it, it always makes me want to cry. It feels like a poem, written for him as well as for me." Only then did the woman formally raise her head, and Shi Lei spoke for the first time. Second eye contact.Shi Lei saw the wrinkles at the corners of her eyes and her not-so-smooth skin, and guessed her age, and she was talking to Shi Lei like a big sister, with a calm and gentle smile on the corner of her mouth. With a touch of that common woman's caress and shyness.
"He sings with concentration, you listen with affection, and the resonance caused by the music is also a kind of comfort." Shi Lei tried to experience this feeling, after all, he was also moved by a song just now. "It's not considered lonely, is it?" Shi Lei was not sure about the latter sentence.
The woman smiled. "You came out to play too?" The topic returned to the normal track that the public often chatted about.
Shi Lei nodded.Like most men, the gentleman's server poured two glasses of wine, the fragrance of plum wine wafted out, and placed it by the woman's hand.I didn't forget to explain that this wine is newly opened, so you can drink it with confidence.
"Thank you for the wine." The woman toasted, Shi Lei clinked glasses with her, half of the glass of wine poured into his stomach, as if some enthusiasm was brewing in a hazy way.
"When you look at travelers coming and going, most of the time they are either looking for happiness or getting rid of pain." The woman was still chatting casually, as if she had seen through everything.
And Shi Lei was shocked when he heard this sentence.
When Shi Lei returned to the hotel, except for the bearded people, everyone else came back.When Shi Lei asked, looking at the expressions of the other people, everything became clear.
But the bearded man who originally meant that he could not go back at night appeared at one o'clock in the morning, his small eyes whistled and smiled secretly, and the bearded man raised the corners of his mouth very proudly: "There are only two things in this world that cannot be brought to bed, and that is women and men." money."
When Shi Lei heard this sentence on the bed, he frowned in disgust, but he didn't intend to argue.Just like others can't convince him, he doesn't want to persuade others.The next day, after Shi Lei settled the money with them, he left them on the road without any relationship.
The woman's words from yesterday are still lingering in her mind, but knowing doesn't mean doing it - the acceptance of the conscious cognition does not mean that the emotion is also accepted.Shi Lei still doesn't want to go back now, he still wants to see - the mountains that Li Xiang has climbed, the fields he has walked in, the streets he has stopped in - those things that he thinks are beautiful.
At the end of the year, Li Xiang's phone calls were extraordinarily frequent, and there was a tendency to keep calling until you answered if you didn't answer.As soon as Shi Lei answered the phone, Li Xiang scolded him head and face.Then, as if remembering the real purpose of the phone call, his voice changed into his unique sensitivity and fragility, and briefly described his lonely college life, especially emphatically describing his loneliness and loneliness: " Even if the phone is about to run out of power, I will keep it in my pocket, thinking that I will lose someone’s contact. Why can’t I experience the kind of romantic drinking alone that is mentioned in poetry? "
Before Shi Lei went home, he specially went to Li Xiang's school. The winter wind from the northern country made people feel the bone-chilling cold immediately.When he got out of the train station, Shi Lei saw Li Xiang standing at the exit. He was wearing a cheap gray cotton jacket with oil paint on the left sleeve.His complexion was good, and the emotion on his face was also very excited. Seeing Shi Lei was like a bear hug, Shi Lei hugged him with his backhand, and at the same time he let out a long sigh of relief.
It was the only time the two saw each other for the next three years.
The author has something to say: "Drink Alone"
Carrying a cell phone that's dying
maybe in anticipation of someone contacting
Sitting alone and drinking at romantic nights in poetry
Why can't I find that kind of happiness
always thinking too much
Worrying about the consequences
always have too many scruples
Rational thin line wrapped layer by layer
Loneliness and loneliness are rehearsing a depressive drama together
Depressed mood longs for emotional confluence
Actively seek, or passively close, or wait for a chance encounter
☆, save (1)
Shi Lei worked overtime for himself in the company. He was busy until after six o'clock, and only thought of going home when he was hungry and dizzy.After entering the house, he saw Li Xiang in a blink of an eye. Although Li Xiang had been back for two days, Shi Lei still felt strange—because his mind was always conflicted by his familiarity with Li Xiang and the discomfort of having someone more at home. between.
In the house at this time, the familiar drawing board is propped in front of the window, and the brush in the hand of the person on the high stool is about to fall, one foot is touching the ground, and the other foot is dangling slightly in the air.And the formal Shi Lei's home clothes on his body generally fit well.There was no light in the room, so even though the sky was shining in, it still looked dim.Li Xiang turned his face sideways, Shi Lei couldn't see his expression.But the picture of 'Painter under the Backlight' in front of me is pleasing to the eye.However, Shi Lei's chest was already hungry, and the flowers in front of him were no longer worth the bread.
"Very hungry, master, do you have something to satisfy your hunger?"
Li Xiang also threw the paintbrush, stepped on his slippers and jumped off the stool, calling Shi Lei's name, and enthusiastically helped Shi Lei take off his clothes and change his shoes.Shi Lei couldn't bear this kindness, so he quickly stopped him with his hands: "Nothing to show kindness, it's either adultery or robbery."
"I'm afraid you're tired. Take care of yourself. I'll serve the meal."
Looking at Li Xiang's back, Shi Lei felt as if everything had changed, the immature young man already had the sharpness and sharpness of youth.But Li Xiang's innocence and beauty, and his ease and sincerity when getting along, seem to have not changed.
Li Xiang's cooking skills are still the same, but they are not as refined as before, but have a simple taste of home.
"Yes, are you born with this culinary skill?"
"Of course not. I've been cooking by myself these past few years."
Shi Lei drank a bowl of soup first, to appease his irritable appetite due to hunger, and then began to eat slowly.
"I actually dropped out in my freshman year."
Shi Lei was a little surprised, but felt that it was nothing unusual for this kind of thing to happen to Li Xiang.
"I now open a small shop for painting supplies near a junior high school there. I usually play with the children and teach them how to paint. They are all cute and energetic, but they are also very naive. Occasionally I also vote A few sketches and so on, every time the draft fee is called, there is always an illusion of picking up money on the street. Because, ah, I feel like I haven’t done anything! Haha.”
When going to bed at night, because Shi Lei rented the house this time considering the rent, there is only one bedroom and one living room.Li Xiang lived in Shi Lei's bedroom in a stately manner. Shi Lei's house is still as simple as before, so the bed is also a very simple 1.5-meter bed.Shi Lei wanted to sleep on the sofa from the bottom of his heart and emotionally, but his rationality told him that it would be too 'no money here'.So Shi Leilai read a book on the sofa and enforced the procrastination policy.
"Brother, it's time to sleep."
"Ah."
"Brother, it's almost 12 o'clock."
"Ah."
Sitting next to him, Li Xiang yawned.Although Shi Lei didn't want to, he couldn't help being infected, so he hit one.
"If you're sleepy, go to sleep first."
"Brother, why are you?" Li Xiang showed a cunning look: "You don't want to sleep in the same bed with me? Is it because you are afraid? Or is it looking forward to it?" Li Xiang has already moved in front of him unconsciously.
Shi Lei stopped Li Xiang from continuing to approach: "Why did you come back?"
Li Xiang ignored this question and continued to explore: "Just like it is now, why are you stepping back, you are afraid that I will kiss you!"
"Fart. Shut up."
"Hey, brother, don't be angry. I'm just kidding, I just think we should go to bed, I'm so sleepy!" Shi Lei's brain suddenly froze, and he was completely overwhelmed by Li Xiang's bullying routine. Messed up the routine.I didn't realize it until I was lying on the bed, "When a fist approaches, people will hide; if a pile of shit approaches, people will hide too!" 'Shi Lei felt that he should refute him, but Li Xiang beside him was already fast asleep.
The next day, Shi Lei ate and went to work as usual.Li Xiang put a piece of chocolate in his handbag when he left.Now it is the summer vacation, and the junior high school is on vacation, and Li Xiang is also happy to have a leisurely time.Why did he come back this time?Shi Lei asked him, and Li Xiang also asked himself.In fact, at the beginning, I really just wanted to come back to see Shi Lei, I missed him a little, but not strongly.In fact, Li Xiang has lived a fulfilling life in the past two years. In his life, there are his small jobs and things he likes, and there is also a social circle that he met because of painting. Friends who are compatible and appreciate each other.But when he saw Shi Lei, the torrent of longing washed over him irresistibly, and the peace and warmth of being together nourished him.And the most amazing thing is that Shi Lei can always give him the most appropriate emotional response.
After staying for a week, besides being with Shi Lei every day, Li Xiang was painting or meeting with classmates.Li Xiang found out that Shi Lei had quit smoking, and heard that Brother Haiyang and Sister Xu Jiao were getting engaged.Li Xiangcai suddenly realized that Shi Lei is already 28, and he doesn't know if his family is urging him to get married?Have you had a girlfriend in the past few years?So when Li Xiang took advantage of Shi Lei's going to work that day, he did something that he thought was very boring at the time.He searched Shi Lei's house from beginning to end, looking for traces of other people's existence. When he found a box of condoms and found that he had used two, Li Xiang was very annoyed.On the one hand, he was sadly guessing when it was used, on the other hand, he regretted why he didn't check it when he just came back.At the same time, he extremely condemned and despised his own small belly.But the emotion came and went quickly.When Shi Lei came home, Li Xiang was able to calmly lie that the house was in a mess, just because he had to clean up the house.
"Brother, I invited Brother Haiyang and the others to have dinner this weekend."
"Yeah. That's good." Shi Lei wiped the dishes and rubbed his neck, "Xiao Xiang, press my shoulders for me, it's so sore."
The two squeezed together on a sofa, Shi Lei lay on his stomach, Li Xiang sat sideways on the edge of the sofa, fingering hard.
"It hurts, it hurts, it hurts!" Shi Lei yelled indistinctly, as if he had been tortured.
"I haven't started to push hard yet!" He said and pressed it twice.
Shi Lei screamed: "It's okay, I'll bear it."
"You have been sitting for too long at work, and you don't pay attention to your body. Have you gone out to exercise recently?"
"Does a walk count?"
"Not strong enough."
"Ah, ah, ah, it hurts, forget it, it's tomorrow." After pinching for less than 5 minutes, Shi Lei collapsed. "Come on, let me give you a massage too, it's very comfortable."
The two changed positions, Li Xiangshun lay down obediently, Shi Lei recalled Li Xiang's technique, and fumbled to learn.
"Do you still have the idea of going homeless?" Shi Lei casually thought of this topic.
"No." Li Xiang blurted out without thinking, as if he had thought about this question seriously: "Actually, I always thought that I saw other people's lives, but in fact, it was also a projection of my own life."
"Yo, keep talking." Shi Lei heard the interest.
"Okay, then don't stop your hands."
Shi Lei continued to press.
Li Xiang seemed to be thinking about his words. The conversation between the two had always been like this. They were not in a hurry to express themselves, and both were willing to wait for the other party to think slowly and respond slowly. "Actually, there is no need to go that far. I used to think that I would travel all over the world, until later I realized that it was just me escaping again and again, escaping the depression at home, escaping from places that made me feel lonely .I didn’t realize until I met you that I actually want to stop.” Li Xiang got up and sat up facing Shi Lei, looking very happy, holding Shi Lei’s hand: “Actually, there is no need to go to various places. Different places, so-called different scenery. Every time we go to the back mountain, the scenery on the back mountain is different, some flowers fall, some leaves rise, the light and shadow of the forest under the rays of the setting sun, and Every time I see you - you are changing." The two looked at each other with a general focus, and Li Xiang's voice was very soft, but not lacking in clarity: "I am also changing! I can finally I understand why two people can live a lifetime for a long time, because everyone is naturally giving each other magic tricks of life."
Li Xiang's eyes were too focused, Shi Lei moved his eyes away, Li Xiang also let go of his hand naturally, and did not continue talking.Shi Lei turned around and went to look for something casually, intending to distract himself; Li Xiang also ran to draw in a shy, turbulent and silent manner.
Qin Haiyang still came arm in arm with Xu Jiao.Qin Hai is still the same, Xu Jiao has changed a lot, her clothes are already very feminine, and she even put on light makeup.But as soon as he spoke, it was all exposed: "Little brother, how did you become so handsome."
Xu Jiao and Li Xiang were cooking in the kitchen, and Shi Lei and Qin Hai could hear their laughter in the living room.
Qin Hai shrugged his shoulders: "My wife and children are hot on the kang, this is the life I want, it's pretty good." In fact, most of the time, the more people there are at the party, the more empty the words will be.But when there are few people, it is suitable to talk about some private things.Qin Hai asked about Li Xiang, Shi Lei spread his hands and said 'don't know'.
"Boss, Boss, little brother's cooking is so delicious, can you learn it too?"
"it is good."
"Boss, boss, my little brother's speech is too meaningful, because I can't understand it, let our children learn to draw in the future, okay?"
"......All right."
Having a meal involved the lives of two generations of his family, Qin Hai wanted to cry but had no tears.
☆、Final Salvation (2)
As soon as the dishes were served, Qin Hai poured wine for himself to taste. As Shi Lei said, Qin Hai could not only pour himself a drink, but he was also good at persuading him to drink—because he always felt that happy things should be learned to share.And Qin Hai's hearty personality, coupled with the effect of alcohol.One person can take up half the sky, remember the things that he thinks are fun, the stupid things that Shi Lei and Xu Jiao's friends have done, good news, big and small, think of that and say that.Pushing the cups and changing the cups, they ate a meal for three or four hours. After drinking, they were sober. Li Xiang sent Qin Hai and Xu Jiao away.Shi Lei sat on the sofa blankly, Li Xiang walked towards Shi Lei, looking at him persistently.Shi Lei didn't want to escape either, so he looked back.Until Li Xiang walked in, propping up the sofa and sitting next to Shi Lei.The two are very close, like a drunk person paralyzed together, or like two people are intimately dependent on each other.
"elder brother."
"Ah."
Sitting silently, enjoying the tacit understanding honed in this silent long life, and relaxing the body and nerves together.
"Brother, do you know? Actually, I used to admire you very much."
"Yeah." Shi Lei still closed his eyes, this topic didn't surprise him.
"It feels like you know everything, and you have a lot of personality, which is different from other people I've met. Of course, what attracts me the most is the warmth on your body."
Shi Lei smiled, very shallowly.
"However, there is one thing that you not only don't understand, but also can't see through."
"What is it?" Shi Lei's desire for knowledge became active, he carefully observed Li Xiang's face, his eyes were a little out of focus, he had many expressions, and he often made mischief.Li Xiang felt that there was a kind of drunken beauty in Shi Lei's body, a kind of pure beauty after stripped of external defenses, camouflage in front of outsiders, and secular rational restraint. He felt that his painting had found the theme for the next time.So the corner of his mouth smiled unconsciously.
Shi Lei shook his head: "You just want to make me feel curious, so I don't want to be fooled. Hmph." The two breaths intertwined, as long as Li Xiang moved forward a little, Li Xiang could kiss Shi Lei's lips.Li Xiang felt that he was being tempted, but Shi Lei didn't seem to realize what was going to happen at all.Li Xiang watched as he struggled in his heart and kept moving forward, his breath getting stronger and stronger, his eyes quickly scanned Shi Lei's face, observing Shi Lei's expression.bumped into!The tip of lips rubbed against each other, so subtle and yet so strong, Li Xiang raised his hand to hug Shi Lei's head, wanting to deepen the kiss.But in the next second, "Boom", Shi Lei bumped his head into the daring Li Xiang.Seeing Shi Lei's serious expression, Li Xiang pretended to be a child who did something wrong, lowered his head and hid his face, not daring to look at Shi Lei, but in his heart he regretted frantically why he didn't move faster or be tougher just now ,well!
The drunk and beautiful Shi Lei disappeared after he sobered up.After work, Shi Lei is in a completely different state. When Li Xiang went to deliver lunch several times, he saw Shi Lei like that. His concentration and clarity when reading documents, his confidence in talking with people, his enthusiasm for completing work, and Calm when speaking on the stage. Shi Lei, who had just finished a training session, walked off the stage. Li Xiang got up from the seat below to greet him, and then the two walked out together.Shi Lei quickly stretched his waist when no one was around: "It's so comfortable, you've been sitting below for so long, are you tired?"
Shi Lei weighed the work notes in his hand, it was full of years of groping and accumulation: "If I don't write this book, I will get it."
"Of course you can!"
Dare to think before daring to do it, Shi Lei sorted it out after work, and submitted two manuscripts.
And Li Xiang also felt that the time had come, so he stuffed his own "little man's book" on Shi Lei's bookshelf.
Li Xiang kept drawing in front of the window most of the time.Shi Lei also wanted to occasionally stand behind him and watch for a while like before, but Li Xiang was too focused on painting.Today is also the same, Shi Lei saw that Li Xiang's brushwork was very smooth, and the movements of his wrists were very beautiful, and soon a young man lying on his back came to life.
"Brother, let's buy a car, what do you think?"
"Che, do you have a driver's license?" Shi Lei was suspicious.
"Hmm!" Li Xiang's strange smile aggravated Shi Lei's suspicion.
Sure enough, the next afternoon, Li Xiang rode a mountain bike, which was still new.A rear seat was added, as well as thoughtful cushions, fenders, and pedal bars.Li Xiang is dressed in sportswear, each with a helmet: "Cool! Well, I don't even think it's cool. Come up."
