They made an appointment to go to Lingshan Reservoir to fly a kite together on Saturday morning. Originally, Qi Yang had a class that day, but it was Zhang Chi's class. The irresponsible teacher Qi decided to give Zhang Chi a vacation, but Zhang Chi heard about them. He wanted to come out to play, but also clamored to fly a kite, Qi Yang had no choice but to bring him out as if he was bringing a child.

Wen Qing was heartbroken when he heard that he was riding a bicycle to the reservoir. This was the first time he had come into contact with a bicycle as a means of transportation in his more than 30 years of life.

"...Wen Qing, I found that you are really amazing." Qi Yang rolled out a bicycle from the car dealership and looked back and forth, "You said that you are such an adult, it's fine if you don't know how to drive, and you don't even know how to ride a bicycle. "

Wen Qing spread her hands, "Then what can I do, I have never used a bicycle before, so naturally I won't."

"Hey, you're reasonable," Qi Yang smiled, and patted the ashes on the back seat of his bicycle, "Come on, I'll take you."

"En!" Wen Qing was just waiting for Qi Yang's words, completely ignoring Qi Yang's helpless expression, smiling and jumping into Qi Yang's back seat.

Qi Yang glanced at him, "You get down first, I can't get in the car like this."

"Oh, good," Wen Qing thought for a while, "Then I'll jump into the car."

"You still jump on the bike?" Qi Yang laughed, "Haven't you never touched a bike before?"

"Haven't you ever eaten pork or seen a pig running? I've seen a lot of people jumping into the car. It's fun."

In the past, when Wen Qing was young, she often saw other people's mothers with their children behind them, and sometimes she could see those children jumping into the car, leaping lightly, grabbing the waist of the person in front with both hands, and the whole body They all got into the car and stuck tightly to the back of the closest person in front.

At that time, he was very envious. Their small family had only three orphans and widowed mothers. His mother had no money to buy travel tools. She always walked, and the luxury was to take a bus. When he was working in the factory, he made a van, which seemed to be a very advanced equipment in his eyes.

Wen Qing and his younger brother Xiao Wen have fantasized about owning their own bicycle since they were very young. They never told their mother. They often discuss in private what kind of bicycle they want to buy when they grow up. When and who will carry whom, Wen Qing felt that when they discussed this matter, they felt extremely happy just by imagining it.

One after another, everyone has arrived. Those who have a car ride their own car. Those who don’t have a car, like Qi Yang, go to the car dealership to borrow it. Like Zhang Chi, who goes to school by bike every day, today he just rode a racing car , Qi Yang has no research on racing cars, but from the outside, this car is a very high-end car.

This is a birthday present from my dad, Zhang Chi said.

He has a bright smile on his face, this kind of sunny smile unique to sixteen-year-old teenagers, but Qi Yang feels that it rarely appears on Zhang Chi's face, and looking at him now with this smile is a little dizzying.

Wen Qing looked at his shiny racing car, and said sincerely, "It's so beautiful, it's okay, your father's vision."

"Of course," Zhang Chilue said proudly, "He sent it to me from the United States, by transoceanic express."

Wen Qing smiled and patted his head, saying it was good.

Qi Yang was inexplicably sad, one of these two people had no home, the other had a home that was worse than no one, the other had no father since birth, and the other had a father who was far away in the sky and would never come back to see his son, standing together talking and laughing Discuss the presents from Dad.

"Hey! The three over there, what are you doing, everyone, get in the car and go!" Xiao Taoer shouted to them from the front, and they responded, saying that they would leave now.

"So, you still have to jump into the car, right?" Qi Yang asked Wen Qing after he glanced at Zhang Chi who was riding a racing car and had already followed the big team.

Wen Qing nodded and waved his hand to tell him to ride forward quickly.

Qi Yang sighed, stepping on the pedals, he inexplicably felt that Wen Qing would fall off the side of the car.

Wen Qing looked at Qi Yang's slowly advancing figure, and it took him a long time to say something, you don't have to be so slow, I can keep up.

There are three black lines on Qi Yang's head, "...do you think I want to be so slow, but you should hurry up, do you want to follow the car?"

"I need to adjust the angle," Wen Qing muttered, starting slowly to follow Qi Yang's car.

Just when Qi Yang felt that he was about to lose sight of the shadows of the large troops ahead, he suddenly felt the back seat of the car sank, he subconsciously held the handlebar with one hand, and reached behind him with the other to support Wen Qing.

"Hey hey——" Wen Qing jumped up in a bad position, it was a bit too far, most of his buttocks were exposed, and his thighs were sitting on the car seat. If it wasn't for Qi Yang reaching out to stabilize him, he would really have to get out of the back of the car. Fell to the ground.

A big man of [-] to [-] kilograms jumped up directly from behind, Qi Yang was still holding on to the handlebar with one hand, the car twisted for a long time and finally found its balance again, Qi Yang was still supporting Wen Qing with his hand at the back.

He patted his butt that was exposed outside the car seat, and said with a smile, "Are you adjusted, put your butt back quickly."

Wen Qing was holding Qi Yang's clothes with both hands, and freed one hand to hit Qi Yang's hands, bent forward trying to maintain his balance, and rubbed forward, "Right now, you ride yours."

"En, okay, take your time." Qi Yang was still riding the bike with one hand, while pinching Wen Qing's little butt with the other hand.

"...Hey, what are you doing..." Wen Qing hesitated for a long time before going back, feeling that Qi Yang was teasing him one after another, and his face flushed anxiously.

"Huh? I didn't do anything," Qi Yang said innocently, "I'm helping you go forward, helping you."

Wen Qing was speechless, ignored him, and relied on his own efforts. He returned after a long time, and he seemed to hear a slight regretful sigh from Qi Yang in front of him.

The road goes up and down. Although Qi Yang doesn't ride a bike very much, he sometimes rides off-road vehicles with people from the riding association. Crowds of people on the slope.

"Yo, Ah Qing...I didn't know you...you can't ride a bicycle." Nier laughed at Wen Qing as if she had discovered a new world, panting while riding a bicycle.

Wen Qing laughed dryly, and suddenly felt that it was quite embarrassing to be told by a girl that she couldn't ride a bicycle.

"Wen Qing specifically waited for me to take him." Qi Yang answered, smiling brightly.

"Oh my eyes," Nier covered her eyes, "I'm still a child."

"Fengzi Fengzi, take care, look at your unlucky child." Qi Yang said.

Yang Yufeng didn't have class today, originally he was out on a date with Nier, but Nier didn't understand his intentions, and when he heard that he was going to play in the reservoir, he called a large group of people directly, leaving Yang Yufeng alone The first two are big.

"Ni'er, let's ignore those two shameless young couples, let's go first." Yang Yufeng didn't answer Qi Yang's words, glanced at them and went to grab Nier's handlebars.

Qi Yang smiled and watched Yang Yufeng pedal the car vigorously for a long distance, and even raised his finger to point to the sky. He just felt that the two bastards, Nier and Yang Yufeng, were really a good match.

Wen Qing saw that the slope was quite big, and Qi Yang rode it with great difficulty, so she asked him to get down and walk up by himself.

"Why are you going?" Qi Yang looked back at him, and said angrily, "Why do you think your man is not good?"

Wen Qing smiled, "Aren't I afraid that you will be tired?"

"I'm tired of taking you up the slope, what should I do that night." Qi Yang turned his head, and Wen Qing felt that there was an obvious smile in his voice.

Wen Qing didn't realize it, and thought there was something going on tonight.

"That exercise is much more intense than riding this broken bike..." Qi Yang added leisurely.

Wen Qing understood this time, cursed and pinched the flesh on his waist, Qi Yang howled.

They were behind for a while, and they were slowly catching up. On the road, they met Dong Zi and Chu Zhe who were still riding up. Dong Zi saw Qi Yang speeding past them with Wen Qing, and couldn't help but joked. .

"Yo, yes...Qi Yang, with someone...you can still ride so fast."

"Well, you're not bad, you still ride so slowly by yourself." Qi Yang replied slowly, his tone was calm, and he didn't pant like them.

"Hey, Qi Yang, you've learned a lot from Ah Qing...you weren't so venomous before." Dong Zi gasped.

Before Qi Yang could answer, Wen Qing from behind poked his head forward and said with a smile, "If you're tired, stop talking, you're wheezing like a pug."

"...Fuck me, you two are bullying me together!" Dong Zi yelled, pedaling hard twice, keeping up with Chu Zhe in front, "Little Zhezhe, look at them bullying me!"

Qi Yang and Wen Qing suddenly felt that this scene was a bit familiar.

A few months ago, when they met for the second time on the Pedestrian Street, it seemed that something similar had happened, but at that time, the object of their "bullying" together seemed to be Nier.

Chu Zhe frowned and scolded Dong Zi, "You have too many things to do, and you have nothing to do to provoke others. You can't do it now."

Qi Yang and Wen Qing who had caught up passed them by, laughing haha, Dong Zi had a look of lovelessness on his face, and Chu Zhe hit him with the head of his car because he was talking about his wife's incompetence.

In the end, Qi Yang carried Wen Qing up, and after going up, he felt much refreshed, and then came a big downhill, Qi Yang kicked a few laps quickly, and the two of them flew down like the wind.

"Ahhhh—" Wen Qing stretched out his arms around Qi Yang's back, and yelled loudly against the wind.

"Don't keep shouting, be careful that the wind gets into your stomach and it will be uncomfortable." Qi Yang reminded.

The messy wind blew Qi Yang's voice intermittently, Wen Qing didn't care what he said, just hugged Qi Yang again, put his face on Qi Yang's back, listened to Qi Yang's heartbeat, and said yes with a smile.

A group of them stumbled and stumbled, and Nier, who led the way halfway, even found the wrong way, and went around a few times before finding the reservoir hidden deep in the Lingshan Mountain.

Arriving at the reservoir, the scenery of the reservoir is very good. It is said that the reservoir is more like a lake. The side of the reservoir is connected to a sloping high slope, which is full of small wild flowers, which adds a little warmth to the cold in late autumn.The surface of the water was silent, and there were two birds of unknown origin flying on the surface of the water. Their wings were very large and long, and they looked like eagles.Opposite the reservoir is a terraced grassland, and there is a maple tree, the red maple leaves are swirling and falling, and the grass is covered with a thick layer of soft maple leaves.The sky is as blue as a wash. In autumn, the sky is high and the clouds are light. A few strands of entwined clouds float in the sky, and you can see obvious movement when the wind blows.

They stood on the narrow concrete floor connecting the reservoir and the grassland. Looking at the beautiful scenery in front of them, they were in a great mood. They parked and locked their cars one after another, wanting to enjoy the rare scenery at a closer distance.

Qi Yang locked the car, saw Wen Qing staring at the sky in a daze, and took his hand.

"What are you looking at?" Qi Yang followed his gaze.

Wen Qing didn't look back, didn't look away, just stared at the sky, and pointed.

"Qi Yang, did you see those two gulls?"

"That's a gull, I thought it was an eagle."

Wen Qing shook his head, "It's a gull. I often saw this kind of gull by the river when I was a child. I don't know what it's called. Anyway, it's very common in autumn and winter, and they usually fly in pairs."

Qi Yang nodded.

They went to sit on the slope near the river bank, and they held hands, leaning very close.

The breeze was blowing gently, Qi Yang saw Wen Qing's broken hair stuck to his lips, and raised his hand to stroke it off.

The two gulls in the sky are still flying tirelessly, occasionally shaking their wings, sometimes flying high, and sometimes approaching the water surface to raise ripples.

"Actually, I've been thinking about it since I was a child," Wen Qing said, "Why do these two birds always fly together? I've never seen one alone."

"I guess it's Xi." Qi Yang said.

Wen Qing thought for a while and said, "This habit is very troublesome."

Qi Yang turned to look at him.

"Look, sometimes the gull may not be able to find another one alone, what should it do at this time."

Wen Qing's voice was light, and his tone was very calm, but Qi Yang saw a deep silence on Wen Qing's smiling face.

"Even people can find their other half in a sea of ​​thousands of people," Qi Yang turned to look at the lake, "not to mention the rare number of birds."

"If you don't like it, you have to go together, it's really hard." Wen Qing said.

"Emotions are cultivated slowly," Qi Yang squeezed Wen Qing's hand, "One day you will like it, you will fall in love."

Wen Qing withdrew his gaze and looked at Qi Yang quietly, noncommittal.
