Crossflow

One afternoon in mid-April, Tao Fengche received an offer from Z University as he wished.

He stared at the mail for a while, feeling a sense of relief after the dust had settled.

A moment later, Tao Fengche moved his finger and forwarded the email to Sui Yuesheng.

It was expected to be successfully admitted to Z University, but Tao Fengche never expected that Sui Yuesheng would react very strongly to this - he deliberately left work early and went home to accompany Tao Fengche, and sent the admission notice I printed it out.

Tao Fengche felt it was funny when he saw his seriousness: "Brother, why don't you just frame it."

"Framed?" Sui Yuesheng, a foreign friend, was a little puzzled.

Tao Fengche explained: "It's a traditional handicraft in Kyushu, using paper or silk to glue calligraphy and paintings together, which is easy to preserve. But now that technology has advanced, this admission notice is not so delicate, you can just order a photo frame to put it on." Just put it inside."

This is really beyond the scope of Sui Yuesheng's knowledge.He was stunned for a moment, just about to ask Tao Fengche where to find such a craftsman, but when he heard the "photo frame" in the second half of the sentence, he felt something was wrong.

After pondering for a few seconds, Sui Yuesheng finally realized that the little bastard Tao Fengche was teasing him.

...It's really three days without a roof tile.

Sui Yuesheng's face sank like water, and he turned his head to ask Tao Fengche if he was twitching, but he was caught off guard and was kissed tenderly, from the corner of his eyes all the way to his lips.

While lips and tongue were intertwined, Sui Yuesheng was a little distracted by his kiss, and the fist that was clenched tightly to punch someone also unknowingly loosened.

For the sake of the offer, Sui Yuesheng's attitude towards Tao Fengche today was much gentler to the naked eye. Even when he was pushed on the back of the chair and forced to kiss him, he didn't attack, and only let Tao Fengche go away with a little panting. One point, don't disturb his work.

Tao Fengche noticed this change and didn't intend to miss it.

He hastened to test Sui Yuesheng's bottom line, first begged for several kisses in a row while the latter was working, then asked to stay overnight, and finally stripped Sui Yuesheng's clothes logically.

When he pushed Sui Yuesheng, who was covered with hickey marks all over his body, on the bed and tried to eat for the third time, the unbearable volcano finally erupted.

Exhausted and just wanting to sleep, Mr. Sui stretched out his hand, and slapped his shoulder with a slap, his tone was cold and cold: "Tao Fengche, you should stop in moderation."

Tao Fengche hastily retreated, held Sui Yuesheng's foot that was about to kick someone, and stopped when he saw it, and raised his hand in surrender: "I was wrong, I don't dare to do it again."

The words spoken by the satisfied alpha really lacked sincerity, not to mention the obvious reaction from his lower body.

It's a pity that Sui Yuesheng was really sleepy, he raised his eyelids and gave Tao Fengche a non-threatening look, leaving a vague warning before falling asleep.

Tao Fengche touched his chin with the tip of his tongue, and struggled fiercely for a while, finally carried Sui Yuesheng to the bathroom without any complaints, and after cleaning up, he brought him back and settled him down, and then went into the bathroom alone.

He stayed in the bathroom for nearly half an hour, returned to the bedroom with coolness and steam all over his body, lifted the quilt and lay down beside Sui Yuesheng.

It has been raining recently, and it's cold in the late spring. When Tao Fengche lifted the quilt, a gust of air-conditioning was brought in. Sui Yuesheng subconsciously shrank back. He smelled the familiar smell while half asleep, and squinted his eyes to look at Tao Fengche again. see.

After a while, Sui Yuesheng moved closer to Tao Fengche's direction, pulled his hand into his arms, and continued to sleep.

Body temperature follows the law of heat conduction and is transmitted between the two.

Sui Yuesheng's body temperature was always on the low side, and the little heat that had been covered with great difficulty dissipated immediately, Tao Fengche, who was like a small stove, didn't mind, he reached out and pulled Sui Yuesheng into his arms when his body was slightly warmer.

There was one thing Tao Fengche didn't mention to anyone - after Sui Yuesheng left, he was always very flustered when he was awakened by nightmares in the middle of the night, because he had no one to hug his pillow to find.

So he really wanted a teddy bear more than one meter high.The fluffy bear knight sits on the head of the bed, defending him from all nightmares, and can be hugged in his arms when he sleeps, giving him a full sense of security.

But Tao Fengche felt that this seemed too unmanly, and he was too embarrassed to ask for it himself, so he had to wait for someone to give it to him.

But no one would give such a gift to a male alpha child.

Tao Fengche waited and waited, until he got the gun from his father, the toy from Xu Song, the game console from his friend...

The only thing that didn't wait was the longing bear.

When he reached adolescence, these childhood thoughts were gradually left behind by him, except that occasionally he would feel a little bit disappointed when he thought about it.

But now he is born with the moon.

Tao Fengche held Sui Yuesheng in his arms, closed his eyes contentedly, and fell asleep in a short while.

···

Although according to the Kyushu Education Law, international high school students also need to take the college entrance examination in exchange for a high school diploma, but for Tao Fengche who has already received the offer from Z University, it is basically no different from a vacation.

Most of the students have gained a lot, and the school is lax, and Wang Yuan even asked for leave and went home to play.Tao Fengche stayed at school for a few days, but he really felt bored, so he asked for leave and went home. He pretended to be studying at home to prepare for the exam, but in fact he was resting at home. He spent more time at the shooting range than sitting at his desk. .

During the two days of the college entrance examination, the weather was cloudless and cloudless. Tao Fengche passed the final exam calmly, but after finishing the composition, he felt inexplicably uneasy.He forced himself to sit for a while longer, and finally stood up and handed in the paper a quarter of an hour earlier.

Tao Fengche was taking the exam in this school, but he was not in the same exam room as his friends, so there was no one to wait for.In addition, Sui Yuesheng specifically asked him when he finished the exam at dinner last night, and drove him to the exam room in person early this morning, so he didn't have any interest in seeing the campus.

He strode towards the school gate, and when he got there, he felt that he was still slow, so he switched to running.

The road at the school gate was blocked and cars could not come in. Sui Yuesheng stood in the middle of the crowd, wearing a solid-colored casual shirt, with an inseparable thumb on his thumb, staring at the school gate casually, looking particularly outstanding.

Tao Fengche looked at his figure, and an inappropriate adjective suddenly popped up in his mind - stand out from the crowd.

He grinned in the direction of Sui Yuesheng, who was taken aback for a moment, as if he didn't understand how he came out so quickly, but subconsciously smiled back.

After seeing Tao Fengche, the perennial snow on Sui Yuesheng's face tended to melt, and his sense of distance disappeared a lot.He took two steps in Tao Fengche's direction, and let Tao Fengche hold his hand.

"Do you have any plans for the evening?" Sui Yuesheng asked him, "Do you want to have a dinner with your classmates or something?"

"No need." Tao Fengche said nonsense with his eyes open.

In fact, Tang Wanxin made a decision a few days ago to go to the secret room to escape together after the exam, and yelled in the class for a long time.Tao Fengche didn't have much interest at all, and when he saw that Cai Hong had signed up, he didn't even want to go. After denying it, he asked Sui Yuesheng if he had anything to do tonight.

"Not today."

Tao Fengche pondered for a moment: "I kind of want to visit the cemetery."

"Then go." Sui Yuesheng turned his head and looked into Tao Fengche's eyes, "I'll accompany you."

Mother Tao was buried in a private cemetery surrounded by mountains and rivers.The cemetery was built on an artificial island, in a remote location, and the surroundings are very quiet.

Last May, Tao Zhixing was murdered shortly after he came out of the cemetery. Tao Fengche was so hurt that he didn't visit the grave for more than a year.

"Mom, I'm sorry. There have been too many things recently. I haven't come to see you. Don't blame me."

Tao Fengche sat cross-legged in front of the tombstone, thought for a moment and then said, "I have something to tell you. I'm with Yuesheng. You haven't seen him, but the old man likes him very much. Not to mention. Ai Wu Ji Wu, you will definitely like him."

"So I'll bring him over to see you today. Don't worry, I'm doing well." Tao Fengche pursed his lips. After a while, he took out a tissue and wiped away the dust that didn't exist on his mother's portrait.

Sui Yuesheng accompanied him silently, handed over some paper money, Tao Fengche took it, and lit it with a lighter.

When the fire was extinguished, Sui Yuesheng said abruptly: "Why is Mr. Tao's tombstone a bit taller than Auntie's?"

"Still called Auntie?" Tao Fengche turned his head to look at him, "Should I be called Mom?"

Sui Yuesheng pursed his lower lip uncomfortably, and the tips of his ears turned red. Tao Fengche knew the truth of Xu Xutuzhi very well, so he didn't continue this topic, and said instead: "It was the old man's request."

Sui Yuesheng gave her a slightly puzzled look, and Tao Fengche explained: "Although I haven't met my mother, the old man said that she is timid and afraid of the dark. The tombstone is made a little taller than her. When she gets down there, she can still rely on him."

Speaking of this, Tao Fengche was silent for a moment, then suddenly said: "But the old man is not here at all. He has already written a will. As the head of the Tao family, he is buried in our ancestral grave, next to it is A clothes mound."

"Then..." Sui Yuesheng considered his words.

"My mother died of dystocia when she gave birth to me. My grandma didn't like her, and my mother didn't want to enter our ancestral grave. My father buried her here, saying that it was clean and the scenery was good. Come over to see her, talk to her, and say that otherwise my mother will be lonely." Tao Fengche clapped his hands, stood up from the ground, and said in a tone of self-mockery, "But I have been doing this for more than a year. never came."

It was Sui Yuesheng's first time hearing about these secrets, and he didn't know how to judge them. Fortunately, Tao Fengche didn't intend to ask him to tell right from wrong, so he fell silent after speaking.

After a long time, Sui Yuesheng stretched out his hand and touched the back of Tao Fengche's hand tentatively, seeing that he didn't resist, he held his hand in his palm and squeezed it lightly: "She won't blame you. "

He maintained this posture of holding Tao Fengche's hand, and bowed deeply to the tombstone: "Don't worry, I will take good care of Xiao Che."

After a while, he whispered another word.

"……mom."

Tao Fengche suddenly turned his head to look at Sui Yuesheng, with disbelief in his eyes.After a moment he blinked and smiled.

They stayed in the private cemetery for a quarter of an hour, and it was already early five o'clock when they left.After getting in the car, Tao Fengche thought for a while, and suddenly said that he still wanted to visit Chu Yin.

Sui Yuesheng responded to every request today, so he nodded and said yes.

The address of Chu Yin's tomb was chosen by Zhao Jiayang. It is surrounded by mountains on three sides. It is said that it is a geomantic treasure. Although it is in the same direction as the cemetery where Mother Tao is located, it is a bit far away. It takes nearly two hours to drive there.

What Zhao Jiayang bought for Chu Yin was a joint burial tomb. After he passed away, Tao Fengche asked someone to bury him next to Chu Yin.

Tao Zhixing was buried in the Tao family's ancestral grave, and the three of them lived in Jingpu, south and north, and never saw each other again.

Chu Yin is not in good health, but he likes to be lively, so the cemetery Zhao Jiayang chose for him is also for sale. Because of the high price, the "neighbors" around him are either rich or expensive.

But today was neither a New Year nor a festival, so there were very few people who came to visit the grave, and Tao Fengche didn't meet any acquaintances on the way up the mountain with Yuesheng.

The tomb where Chu Yin and Zhao Jiayang were buried was relatively farther back. Tao Fengche asked someone to pick fresh white camellias from the flower room at home and make a bouquet of them, and send them to the cemetery. He then followed Yuesheng with the flowers walk.

Although Sui Yuesheng didn't know much about the customs of Kyushu, he also knew that this kind of flower didn't seem to be what he brought when sweeping the grave, so he asked.

"Auntie likes this." Tao Fengche answered simply, but with some melancholy in his tone, Sui Yuesheng didn't continue talking.

The cemetery has been managed by people, the bluestone tombstones are clean, there are no weeds around, but there are no traces of offering sacrifices.

The portrait on the tombstone was chosen by Zhao Jiayang two years ago. It was a photo of him and Chu Yin when they got married. The two of them smiled happily at the camera. They were really a good couple.

Zhao Jiayang chose this group photo, what was he thinking...?

Tao Fengche stared at the portrait for a long time, finally bent down and placed the camellia in the middle.

Sui Yuesheng was silently by his side, like a shadow.

After a while, Tao Fengche straightened up, his eyes still resting on the tombstone, his gaze was heavy and obscure.

He said thoughtfully: "If Chu Yin was an omega from the beginning..."

Then he wouldn't die because of the artificial pheromone, Zhao Jiayang wouldn't go crazy because of it, the Hong Gang couldn't get the driving directions, Tao Zhixing might not die because of it.

They will be a very good and happy family.

"If Chu Yin was an omega, you wouldn't know me." Sui Yuesheng interrupted him neatly and replied.

"...That's right." Tao Fengche was stunned for a moment, then smiled.

Destiny is an irresistible current, and everything has its definite destiny in the dark.

This is the net woven by the three goddesses of destiny for them, densely packed and criss-crossing. They are insects trapped in this giant net. Manpower cannot escape, and no one can escape.

"Go home." Tao Fengche turned around and said to Sui Yuesheng.

Sui Yuesheng raised his hand and looked at his watch: "It's really late."

The sun was setting, the sky was dim yellow, the fire in the sky was burning red, and the afterglow of the setting sun shone on Sui Yuesheng's body, coating him with a layer of gold.

Tao Fengche looked at him, and suddenly felt that Sui Yuesheng was so beautiful that he was not like a mortal, and that he was going to return to the sky at any moment.

He suddenly felt a little panic, and even suspected that all this was just a dream of his. When he woke up from the dream, he was still alone in the world, walking alone.

But Sui Yuesheng just took a step closer, and then held his hand.

The moon fell from the sky, smashed into his arms, and asked again: "Do you want to go out for dinner?"

"...Actually, I was secretly learning how to cook." Tao Fengche blinked and smiled, "How about cooking for you tonight?"

"Okay." Sui Yue moved her hands vigorously, and changed the posture of interlocking her fingers.

The setting sun stretched their backs very long, and because they were too close, the shadows had almost merged into one.

They turned around, left behind the grievances and entanglements of the previous generation, and walked side by side towards the unknown future.

But fortunately, there will be a lover to accompany him along the way.
