The room was quiet.Even the simplest display, Shao Youguang still watched it over and over again.

The bed sheets are light gray and pea-green, with a few shallow wrinkles that people have slept on; the bookshelves are made of wood, and most of the books on display are familiar to Shao Youguang—he gave it to Ji Jian in the name of donation, of course they are familiar.The desk is placed under the window, and there are probably Ji Jian's lesson plans and students' workbooks piled up on it. Shao Youguang looked at it for a while, and felt that everything was pleasing to the eye.The only thing that made him uncomfortable was a branch of red flowers growing in a glass cup on the table, with distinct branches and sparse buds, as if it would be fully bloomed tomorrow.

This is not like what Ji Jian would do. Shao Youguang frowned and felt a little sense of crisis. He heard that there are many beauties in Yunnan, so they couldn't be sent by some big girl.

Ji Jian opened the door later and came in, took a look at him, found a thermos by the table and poured Shao Youguang a cup of hot water.As soon as I handed it to Shao Youguang, I saw that he was holding it and wanted to drink it down, so I had to remind him helplessly: "It's hot, drink it slowly."

"Ah." Shao Youguang responded dryly, and put the cup on the table next to him.

"You just vomited, drink some water to feel better." Ji Jian glanced at Shao Youguang, his eyes quickly passed over his pale and chapped lips, and then moved away, thinking that this person didn't like to drink water when he was a child, It is estimated that no one has rectified this bad habit for him, and he didn't drink much water along the way.

After hearing this, Shao Youguang picked up the cup again, held it with both hands, and took a sip carefully.Then Ha frowned and whispered, "It's so hot."

Not to mention the reunion after a long absence, the old man has become a stranger. Ji Jian has emptied his memories and rarely saw Shao Youguang like this. He probably thought it was funny, and finally showed his first smile since the two met. It's over in a moment.

Two people who have lost track of each other for nearly ten years just met, so it is true that there is no need to be overly familiar.As if trying to cover up his overly familiar smile just now, he coughed lightly before speaking: "Why don't you sit down?"

After speaking, he pointed to the stool, only to realize that he lived in a secluded life, and the stools couldn't even make a pair, so Ji Jian had to use his own bed for surgery.

"Sit whatever you want, it's okay."

However, Shao Youguang sensitively caught Ji Jian's smile. He found a little shadow of the old days, so he got the reason for pardon. He pointed at his clothes with broken jars: "Let's forget it, spit dirty."

He leaned against the table quite rascally, holding the glass cup with one arm folded and blowing gently, leaving the problem to Ji Jian.

"It's so late, and we don't have hot water here, why don't you..."

"It's okay," Shao Youguang said suddenly, "I just came to see you, and I'll leave after I'm done."

As he spoke, he was about to go out, and he said as he walked: "Is there a guest house near here, but it's so late, and the elder sister has left again, may Mr. Ji take me there?"

Ji Jian exhaled lightly, and it was indeed the familiar formula from back then. Visible to the naked eye, this human temperament has settled down, and he has become a lot more stable, but appearances are just appearances, and he still loves to toss so much.

"You keep it." Ji Jian slowed down his tone, as if he had no choice but to compromise, "I'll take care of it."

Shao Youguang had already stopped in front of the door, he was just waiting for his words.Immediately agreed readily: "Okay, I just need to trouble Teacher Ji."

The words "Teacher Ji" were accentuated, as if they were playing on the tip of the tongue.

Ji Jian didn't want to talk to him, but he thought of a question and finally asked: "What are you doing here?"

"Huh?" Shao Youguang raised his head when he heard the words. He took off his coat, held it up to the tip of his nose and sniffed it, frowning.

He said nonsense: "Hey, you also know that I am a drama director, and I happened to line up a play with the background of the countryside in Yunnan, hey, that's... an adaptation of "The King of Trees", you know. Then I came to look for it by the way. you."

Ji Jian gave him a suspicious look, and said it's okay, it's disrespectful to Director Shao.

"Hey, no need, Mr. Ji." Shao Youguang waved his hand.

There was no one in the middle of the night, and Ji Jian stood alone in front of a small flat field in front of his house.He couldn't sleep, the bright moon came out of the Tianshan Mountains, but there was no sea of ​​clouds in the sky, so tonight's night was very clear.The sky was so dark that it turned blue and purple, and some stars were desperately opening like eyes, and they were all very sleepy.The embracing tree was born in the mountains, and the dense layers rustled in the wind. Ji Jian thought, Shao Youguang actually became a director. When he was a child, he felt that Shao Youguang's career was a disaster for the theater industry of the motherland. Now watching At first glance, it seems to be called collectively.While thinking about it, he looked around, and suddenly he was able to discern the direction in the four fields surrounded by the same mountain range.To the west is the place where the moon rises. He followed the invisible celestial body track to find the east, and then found the north.He raised his head and looked towards the end of the mountain, but there was still a mountain on the other side of the mountain, and he couldn't see anything.

In fact, Ji Jian is very sleepy, but he is short of breath, and the person who made him unable to sleep is now wearing his own clothes and sleeping on his own bed.Feeling at ease and not admitting to life, she fell asleep as soon as she touched the bed.Ji Jian hit the floor, and he lay on his back until he finally lifted the quilt and went out.

He had also seen Shao Youguang's sleeping face.Of course, Ji Jian has never seen what Shao Youguang looked like before he came here, but Ji Jian knew that his face had become thinner and his face was not good-looking, obviously tired from traveling all the way.But Ji Jian didn't dare to look at his face carefully, and he didn't know what he was afraid of.Logically speaking, they haven't seen each other for many years, and he's been thinking about him for so long, so he should wait and see carefully.

But, Ji Jian thought, too many years have really passed.

He saw Shao Youguang lying down in front of him, covered with a quilt, and kept muttering, "It's all right, it's all right, I really don't need to change the quilt."He still couldn't quite figure it out, there seemed to be many strange coincidences in fate, why did this person appear at this time.

At that time, Ji Jian didn't quite believe it, so he asked again before turning off the lights: "What exactly are you here for?"

Shao Youguang seemed to be very sleepy, and just said politely: "I'm wronged that you lay on the floor." Hearing this, he pulled up the quilt a little, as if he was about to fall asleep in the warmth, he hugged Ji Jian's quilt, and said with a smile : "I'm here to see you."

This is just a joke, Ji Jian doesn't believe it.He said, "Stop talking nonsense."

But Shao Youguang seemed to have fallen asleep, turned over in his sleep, and ignored him.

But now, looking at the swaying trees all over the mountain in the spring breeze, Ji Jian thought, "The King of Trees" clearly tells a story in Guizhou, so how could it happen in a small town in Yunnan.
