South of Chutian

Walking out of the academy, the two separated holding hands.The campus of Normal University is much smaller than that of Han University. There are towering trees everywhere, and it looks very quiet at night.They walked one after the other, passed by the quiet fountain, and walked into a path full of sweet-scented osmanthus fragrance.The street lamps elongated the shadow, Tang Heng looked down at the road, and saw Li Yuechi's shadow right under his feet, swaying with his movements, like a fish cruising and unable to catch.

"Li Yuechi." Tang Heng couldn't help calling him.

Li Yuechi turned around: "What's wrong?"

"...It's nothing," Tang Heng rushed up in two steps, "Let's go."

Soon they came to the end of the sweet-scented osmanthus trail.It looks like a square, but there are many trees planted, it is dark, and there are only one or two street lights as far as the eye can see.

"Be careful, there are steps." Li Yuechi said.

"Where is this?"

"Movie theater," Li Yuechi pointed to the white concrete wall at the other end, "The school plays movies here every Friday and Saturday night, and it's free."

Tang Heng followed him down and found that each step was very wide, like a lecture theater.It's a good place for watching movies - but just sitting in the open air?Mosquitoes in the south can bite through jeans.

Li Yuechi stopped and stood beside a tall poplar tree: "I often sit here."

"Here?" Tang Heng walked over, and found that the ground was uneven due to the uplifted tree roots, and this position was also a bit off, not facing the concrete wall.

"There are no lovers here." Li Yuechi said.

"Oh—" Indeed, the place is dark, and a romantic movie will be played, which is very suitable for lovers to make love to each other.

"Have you brought Wu Si here?"

Li Yuechi smiled: "Are you going to be jealous?"

"No... I'll just ask." Tang Heng thought regretfully, why did he ask such a boring question?My brain is short-circuited, isn't it?

"No, I didn't bring her here."

"Oh."

Li Yuechi sat on the ground, with his long legs stretched apart, his body slightly leaned back, and his hands resting on the ground.He poses like a rebellious high school student who skipped class to watch a movie, only to find out that the movie theater is closed.

"Actually, I've only been to a movie theater once," Li Yuechi looked at Tang Heng quietly, "During high school, the school organized us to watch patriotic educational movies."

Tang Heng sat down beside him, feeling the ground was cold: "What did you see?"

"Forgot, it's not pretty anyway," Li Yuechi took out the cigarette case from his trouser pocket, lit a cigarette and put it between his lips, "I remember that the chairs were very soft, there were too many students going there, and there were people standing in the aisle watching... "

"Li Yuechi," Tang Heng said, "do you want to watch a movie?"

"Go to the cinema?"

"Ah."

"Wait a minute."

"I have a free movie ticket, which is given by... Creative City."

"I know," Li Yuechi said with a smile, "don't worry."

He was sitting next to Tang Heng, staring blankly at the white wall in front of him, as if he was deep in thought, but also in a pure daze.Suddenly, Tang Heng seemed to see Li Yuechi at that time.Those nights were as dark as it is now, the lovers were like glue, there were probably noises of playfulness and chatter, and Li Yuechi sat alone under this tree, staring at the picture projected on the white wall seriously, the colorful lights reflected on the His clean face.

Li Yuechi exhaled a string of smoke rings, and said casually: "80.00% of the reason why I like this school is because of this movie theater."

"Is the movie on display good?"

"I have everything," Li Yuechi blinked, "It's purely luck."

"Let's see this Friday."

"Not until Friday."

"what?"

Li Yuechi got up, and said with some pride: "I often come to see it, and I am familiar with the buddy who shows the movie."

After he finished speaking, he turned and ran to the projection room, which was actually just a small white house, standing opposite the white wall behind the movie theater.He climbed up the suspended iron ladder, took out the key and opened the door. A few minutes later, a beam of light shot out from the window of the white house.

It is a Taiwanese film, the title of which is not displayed, but the director has heard of it, Tsai Ming-liang.

There was no sound either.

Li Yuechi ran down, panting and explained: "You can't make your voice, for fear of being heard by the security guards."

Tang Heng nodded in a daze, completely unexpected.

"Only for a while," he said, "five minutes."

"Oh..." I don't know if I should watch a movie or watch Li Yuechi.

Tang Heng was used to the electronic screen, and always felt that the picture on the white wall was a little blurry, like the Chaplin silent film played by his father on VCD when he was a child.A film without sound is indeed a silent film.A sense of unreality arose in Tang Heng's heart, it was really like a dream in a long nap.

Li Yuechi put out the cigarette, and suddenly stretched out his hand to Tang Heng. There was no one around, only the projected image flickered. Tang Heng was stunned for a moment, and then took his hand.

Li Yuechi said softly: "You really look at it."

Tang Heng held his waist in a daze: "Then why are you playing the movie?"

Li Yuechi smiled and said nothing, leaned closer, and suddenly kissed Tang Heng's lips.Now I really can't see anything, he is like a blanket of snow, drowning all the pictures.

He said softly: "I really don't know how to fall in love...but everyone else does it, so I want to do it with you too."

Tang Heng knew that his face must be on fire, so he didn't see it, but luckily it was dark all around.

"You, what movie did you choose?" Tang Heng asked stutteringly.

"Choose whatever you want."

"Ok?"

"The name sounds good, so I'll choose it," he whispered into Tang Heng's ear, "Long Live Love."

The movie did run for only 5 minutes.

In just 5 minutes, Tang Heng felt that his lips were swollen, and he wondered if he could go to rehearsal tomorrow... No, no, this is not the most important thing.

Li Yuechi locked the door of the projection room, walked down the steps, and whispered, "Shall we go back?"

"Li Yuechi," Tang Heng gritted his teeth and asked him, "Do you have anything else to do tonight?"

"I have a few assignments to look at."

"Can I see it tomorrow?"

"Tang Heng—"

"I brought my ID card," Tang Heng didn't know what he was thinking, just saying that wasn't enough, he even took out his wallet from his pocket and showed the thin card, "We can... can... Live outside."

Li Yuechi was silent for two seconds, and said, "Wait for me for a few more days."

"why?"

"Wait for my salary."

"Ah?" Tang Heng was stunned for a moment, and then realized - salary?Li Yuechi has no money?But how much did that cost?Open a house, buy a condom, maybe a bottle of lube...is it gone?

"I, I have money," Tang Heng hung his head in shame, not daring to look at Li Yuechi's face, "but I haven't bought those yet... we can go now..."

Li Yuechi said, "That's different."

"What's the difference?"

He didn't answer, but instead leaned over and reached out to caress Tang Heng's back, as if to comfort him.Tang Heng knew that he was hard for nothing, and he was hard when he kissed just now.The night enveloped them like mist, and the surroundings were so quiet that only the sound of the wind blowing the leaves remained.

Li Yuechi said: "Actually, I still have a little selfishness."

"..."

"The day I get my salary is my birthday." His voice became hoarse, and he was probably struggling to endure something. "In this way, every time I celebrate my birthday, I will always think about that day."
