Reef

Gu Zhan looked at the red light at the intersection anxiously, this was already the fifth red light he had been stuck on the road.He also couldn't understand why there were so many cars driving on the road even though it was noon on a weekday? !If it weren't for the prohibition of honking in the urban area, he might have been honking impatiently.It's not that I want to rush the people in front of me, but at most I want to vent my depressed mood.

Ms. Gu had prepared the car for Gu Zhan a long time ago, but she originally planned to drive it for him after he finished his domestic driver's license test.Gu Zhan glanced guiltily at the space where a driver's license could be stuffed on the roof, and it was empty.However, I have driven a car when I was abroad, so there should be no major problems.

In fact, Gu Zhan can go there by subway, but considering that the villa area may be in a place with inconvenient transportation and the weather is too hot, he doesn't want to be exposed to the sun.So Gu Zhan went back to Ms. Gu's house in Shanghai and stole the car.

After the red light blinked a few times, it finally jumped to green.After driving through a section of the bustling road, the following route finally became more relaxed and enjoyable because the surrounding environment became more and more retro. There was hardly a car on the road, and the retro bungalows on both sides of the street stayed there quietly, and the cicadas sang rhythmically. ups and downs.

When he arrived at the destination, Gu Zhan looked at the unique small bungalow in front of him and felt very satisfied.At least he liked the tree in the garden, including the tire swing hanging from its branches.

After getting off the car, Gu Zhan took a few steps to the door.He looked up and down, and found a small doorbell beside the door, but it had been hidden behind the creepers covering the wall, and he could no longer press it.He looked at his watch, it was much earlier than the agreed time, would going in now disturb the other party...?

Just when he was thinking about going back to the car and knocking on the door until one o'clock, there was the sound of twisting the door handle from the door in front of him.Gu Zhan took a step back nervously, suddenly feeling a little at a loss.Just as he was considering whether to run back to the car and hide immediately, the door opened in front of him without warning.

A man came out from behind the door, that man was tall and thin, with cool short hair, the ends of which were just enough to pierce some smooth necks, he was wearing a very clean plain T-shirt and a pair of black trousers, with his feet cuffed A pair of flip-flops that fit just right, holding a brick-red flower pot in one hand, while the other hand was still resting on the newly unscrewed door lock.

Gu Zhan couldn't know what kind of emotion the other party felt when he saw him. The sunlight happened to shine on the lens of the other party's silver thin-rimmed glasses, and the reflected rainbow beams completely covered his eyes.The only thing that can judge the opponent's surprise is the opponent's sudden stop.

This scene is too familiar, as if it was two years ago, before my memory fault.I squatted at the door of the other party, immersed myself in the paper, trying to win the other party's favor, but was interrupted by the sudden opening of the door, and reaped the real indifference of the other party.

A complex emotion rose from the bottom of my heart. On the one hand, I couldn't wait to see Zhou Muzhen, and on the other hand, I recognized the fact that the other party didn't like me. The two emotions were intertwined, and Gu Zhan's head was in a mess. For a moment, I didn't know what kind of expression I should show to face Zhou Muzhen.

Finally, under Gu Zhan's gaze, Zhou Muzhen finally moved a little bit, and this movement made his glasses clear.Gu Zhan could clearly see the other person's expression, but he couldn't understand what was written in those eyes.

For some reason, Gu Zhan felt a little sadness in those eyes.He wanted to take back the few steps he took just now, but his legs were like lead, and he couldn't move a single bit.Not only the legs, but he couldn't even say a word that he planned to say to the landlord that he had prepared at the beginning.

"Are you the one who came to see the house?" In the end, Zhou Muzhen spoke, just like in the past, he always spoke first.

Gu Zhan nodded.

"Then go ahead and sit down." Zhou Muzhen didn't have a smile on his face, he pointed to the flowerpot in his arms, "I'll come after I put this away."

After speaking, Zhou Muzhen came out and opened the door wider.

Yes, they are no longer a teacher-student relationship.Gu Zhan thought to himself, Zhou Muzhen didn't even have any reason to be gentle with him in the end.

He walked into the house cautiously, and saw a wooden shoe rack in the entrance, on which several pairs of shoes were placed in an orderly manner.Gu Zhan took off his shoes, obediently placed his own shoes with Zhou Muzhen's shoes, and then put on the slippers prepared for him by the door.

Out of the entrance is the huge living room. The decoration of the living room is very simple, and even has a sense of age, but it gives Gu Zhan a very gentle feeling. There are a few slices of sliced ​​watermelon on the coffee table.Gu Zhan guessed that it might be that Zhou Muzhen was going to give it to the "tenant". Although at this moment his identity was indeed a person who came to see the house, Gu Zhan always felt that he was not qualified to eat these pieces of watermelon.He didn't even know where he should sit.

He had no choice but to wander around in the limited space of the living room. On the shelf next to the TV, there were layers of CDs of classical music. A wooden photo frame I've seen is there.Suddenly, Gu Zhan wanted to take another look at that photo.

That was a place that Gu Zhan couldn't reach - it was a bit high for Zhou Muzhen - he stood on his toes and tried his best to touch the gentle wooden photo frame with his fingertips.

"what are you doing?"

The sudden voice behind him startled Gu Zhan, and he tried to reach the corner of the photo frame, but he directly pulled it down.It was too late to pick it up, the photo frame fell to the ground, and the glass interlayer collided with the ground, making a clear and exciting sound, followed by the sound of scattered glass products shattering all over the floor.

Gu Zhan stared blankly at Zhou Muzhen behind him, his fingertips were trembling, and he squatted down hurriedly to pick up the scattered pieces with his hands.He accidentally glanced at the photo frame lying on the ground. There were some glass scratches on the photo, and he became even more flustered, blaming himself for his actions just now.

Zhou Muzhen didn't stand still for a long time, he ran over the moment Gu Zhan squatted down, he put one hand on Gu Zhan's hand that was busy picking up the debris, and said slowly: "I'll come, you go and sit on the sofa , eat some watermelon." The tone was calm, as if a very ordinary thing had happened.Then he ignored Gu Zhan, picked up the photo frame that had lost the glass interlayer and shook it, shaking the remaining glass shards on the ground, and then took out the broom and dustpan from the small room in the stairwell.Sweep up one by one.

What makes Gu Zhan yearn for is the temperature that Zhou Muzhen stayed on when he pressed his hand just now.It is the precious coldness in summer.The dream that hadn't appeared in Gu Zhan's mind for a long time began to flash back in Gu Zhan's mind.He didn't know how he got to the sofa and sat down. He took a piece of melon and took a bite. The juice dripped from the corner of his mouth and dripped onto his white T-shirt, leaving a red spot. spot.

Melon is very sweet.

He looked back at Zhou Muzhen, who was sweeping the floor. He was squatting on the ground, dealing with the debris that was too small to be swept up.The neckline was floating in the air, and from the gap between the collar and the air, he saw a large expanse of white skin belonging to Zhou Muzhen.

"Mr. Zhou, how many rooms do you want to rent out?" Gu Zhan narrowed his eyes slightly, and opened and closed his lips uncontrollably.

"Five rooms." The other party didn't seem to realize what Gu Zhan called him, but still picked up the pieces with his head down.

"I rented it all." Gu Zhan stood up, and he slowly walked back to Zhou Muzhen's side, then squatted beside him, turned his head sideways, and looked at the other side's face.

Zhou Muzhen seemed surprised by Gu Zhan's nonsense, he turned his face to look at Gu Zhan, with undisguised surprise on his face.Zhou Muzhen's face was close at hand, and Gu Zhan could see the other's drooping eyelashes by raising his eyes a little.

At this moment, Gu Zhan didn't care about the guilt and self-blame in his head clamoring for instructions to stop, he just followed the most primitive function of his body, he raised his body a little bit, moved closer to Zhou Muzhen's mouth, A shallow kiss and some refreshing sweetness of watermelon were printed on the lips.

"Bang-"

The dustpan in Zhou Muzhen's hand fell to the ground, and he fell backwards.

Gu Zhan tilted his head and looked at Zhou Muzhen:

"It's easy to say anything when you have money. This is what you said, Mr. Zhou."
