Unfathomable

On this day, Bai Qiao got up very early, it was not yet dawn, and the rooster hadn't crowed yet.He didn't know why he got up so early, maybe it was because today was the day when he would get the new clothes.

"How old are you, looking forward to wearing new clothes!" He laughed at himself.

He was laying breakfast on the table, glanced casually, and glanced out the door.What made him freeze his eyes was a "sneaky" figure.

At this time, Li Zhen was hesitating outside the door: it was still early, so he shouldn't be disturbed to rest, but the lights in the room were still on—the dining table was invisible to those outside the door.

The anxious Li Zhen paced back and forth outside the door.

He looked at it for a long time, and realized that Li Zhen was hesitating.But the anxious appearance of the other party really made him laugh, and he couldn't help but bow his head and laugh out loud.

Li Zhen heard laughter outside the door, and pushed the door openly and boldly, "Okay, Brother Bai, you really want to see my jokes on purpose!"

He didn't deny it either, but just shot back, "I haven't pursued you yet, but you are the villain who complained first."

"No, no!" Li Zhen waved his hands not guilty, "Today, I must ask Brother Bai for a meal!"

"Okay." He nodded, "Eat and eat."

After breakfast, the two of them went to the clothing store again.Not too many people had to wait this time and got it quickly.I tried it and the size was just right, so I didn't leave any more.

Li Zhen, on the other hand, had an idea and walked forward quickly.

It was only when he saw the sign of "Wanfu Photo Studio" that he realized that he wanted to take pictures, so he was naturally happy.

They are all brand-new suits, and the exquisite fabrics and layouts add a lot of extravagance.

After taking the photos, he was a little tired, so he sat on the side to rest, watching Li Zhen go up and start taking pictures.

He looked at Li Zhen from top to bottom, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart that he was really a good skin.

He picked up the teacup and was about to drink it, but Li Zhen turned his head this way suddenly, he had no time to dodge, and just met the eyes not far away.

It had to be said that Bai Qiao heard her own heartbeat clearly.

One beat, two beats, three beats... Countless heartbeats, and forgotten cups of tea.

Li Zhen's eyes were gentle, but also lively and enthusiastic. He saw those passionate eyes curled up a little bit - Li Zhen was smiling.

Perhaps this is the most frightening part of his outstanding appearance. Bai Qiao only felt that he was being captivated, but he didn't have the slightest thought of resisting. He was willing to sink into the shining eyes.

The corners of Li Zhen's eyes are raised slightly, originally they are breathtaking peach blossom eyes, but they are always full of innocence and sincerity.

The eyes can speak for the mouth, and sometimes even better. He looks at you so innocently and briskly, which is better than all the rhetoric in the world.

After all, Bai Qiao is a very emotional person, so he often falls into the vortex of beauty, and unconsciously searches for it.

Whether it is at this moment or after many years, he can't say what he feels now. It's a tinge of joy mixed with his heartbeat, and it's the same appreciation for art, but it seems to be different from before. The appreciation is different every time, and there are more things that he can't say or describe.

He didn't remember the passage of time until the cool touch of his fingertips woke him up.Only then did he realize that he had unknowingly walked in front of Li Zhen.And Li Zhen held the bottom of the cup with one hand, as if he was feeding him tea.

He looked away in panic, not knowing where to look, just wanting to avoid the heat in Li Zhen's eyes, he heard a sound——

"Crack!"

White smoke rose and the painting was preserved.

He did not ask for this photo afterwards.

This photo was washed by Li Zhen and put in his coat pocket.

When he brought it over, he glanced at it quietly. In the photo, Li Zhen smiled like a young man who flirts with girls, while his own cheeks were rosy, and he was only staring at the tea leaves in embarrassment.

This taught him how to get the photo!It would be better to have one less embarrassing photo of myself, no, it's best not to have one!

What he didn't know was that the shopkeeper of the photo studio was extremely satisfied with this photo, and under Li Zhen's tireless persuasion, it was placed in the most prominent position in the window.

That night, Bai Qiao couldn't sleep.

He desperately wanted to fall asleep, but couldn't.

When he closed his eyes, they were all Li Zhen's eyes.

He wanted to forget, but it got deeper and deeper.He even found that he could still see clearly in the dark with his eyes open.

He tossed and turned, tossing and turning, thinking that he couldn't fall asleep anyway, so he might as well not sleep.

So he put on a cotton robe, and felt that it was a little cold at night in early spring, so he put on a leather jacket.

He went downstairs, feeling thirsty, and poured himself a glass of water to drink.A cough caught his attention.

He looked in the direction of the source of the voice, it was Shopkeeper Jiang.

Shopkeeper Jiang is over half a hundred years old, and his figure has long been out of shape, with only a round belly and a natural and kind smile.When Bai Qiao saw it for the first time, she felt that if shopkeeper Jiang was wearing cassocks, no one would call him "Abbot".

Bai Qiao said hello out loud: "Shopkeeper Jiang, why are you still up so late?"

Shopkeeper Jiang walked over slowly, "I'm getting old, I can't stand the hot and cold weather in early spring, and I'm sick. I'm about to go, and I'm going to fry the side medicine to eat."

"Early spring is indeed a season for getting sick," he echoed, and politely suggested, "Why don't I help you decoct the medicine, and you go and rest for a while!"

"No, no, no." Shopkeeper Jiang refused him with a smile, "At my age, I feel so little, I can't fall asleep even when I lie down, and I'm so bored, why don't I find something to do. It's not a serious illness, I can't tell. , to do some work, to relieve boredom, the breath is smooth, and the illness is cured!"

He wanted to say a few more excuses, but Shopkeeper Jiang didn't give him a chance, and asked, "Mr. Bai is going out?"

"Yes."

"Let's go find Li Zhen," Shopkeeper Jiang sighed, "Li Zhen, this child..."

"What's wrong?" he asked curiously.

When he asked this, shopkeeper Jiang started talking, "This kid, he has had a hard life since he was a child. When I first saw him, he was only that small."

"is it?"

"Yes," shopkeeper Jiang began to cough again, and sat down slowly at the table, tucking his stomach under the edge of the table, and raised his hand to signal him to sit down too.

He quickly poured a glass of water and handed it over.

Shopkeeper Jiang finally took a sip of water, and continued: "At that time, he was about eleven or twelve years old, thin and small, and he hadn't started growing yet."

He pictured a skinny child bouncing around.

Shopkeeper Jiang continued: "He, when he came, he was covered in injuries."

"It's all injuries?" He was so shocked that he almost stood up.The little boy in my mind was instantly lost.

"Yeah, he didn't cry, he just looked at me like that. I was afraid that he would show me a hole. His eyes were full of red threads, and there were tears in his eyes. When I saw it, this child was dead. Tough, stubborn!"

He was eager to ask why.

"Hey!" Shopkeeper Jiang suddenly exclaimed, "Look at me, I forget other things as soon as I talk about it. I'm old, so I'm just talking too much. Mr. Bai, go quickly, don't waste the time. "

"But, you..."

"Go, go." Boss Jiang waved his hand and said nothing more.

He knew that he couldn't and shouldn't talk anymore. Boss Jiang must have intentions, and he needed to find out by himself.

So he got up, said goodbye to Boss Jiang, and walked out the door.

In fact, he didn't intend to find Li Zhen, but when Boss Jiang mentioned it, he agreed in a strange way.

At this time, he lost his direction and walked forward aimlessly.

He was always thinking wildly, unable to understand why Li Zhen was injured, unable to understand the reason, but wanted to see if there were any scars left on his body, and asked him if he had any sequelae, he could not understand why he was so anxious, Can't figure it out.

He was usually calm and composed, but today his heartstrings were repeatedly plucked. He wanted to suppress it, but he was always upset by such and such random thoughts.

He was walking on the road, it was very late at night, there was no one on the road, only the lights were still on.He walked fast and slow, and when he was thinking anxiously, he walked briskly unconsciously; he felt that he shouldn't be so flustered, so he slowed down again.

At this time, he had to admit that he had already developed a feeling called "good impression", right, Li Zhen?

He didn't dare to think, how could he have unreasonable thoughts about a man, but the eager desire in his heart to know his past made him have to admit it.

He loves beauties, has read many ancient portraits and stories, and knows that there is indeed a kind of "love" between men.It's just that she doesn't know that she will also be preoccupied with a man.

He couldn't figure out when and why he fell in love with Li Zhen because of the excessive love among friends.

A voice came from the front: "Brother Bai!"

He recognized Li Zhen's voice, and hurriedly raised his head in response, "Hey! You..."

He wanted to ask his own doubts, but stopped abruptly - he shouldn't have asked because of emotion and reason.

Seeing Li Zhen running over, he changed his words: "Why are you staying up so late and come here again?"

"Brother Bai, didn't you sleep too?" Li Zhen asked back.

"I just can't sleep, come out to relax."

"Me too."

The two of them walked side by side, surrounded by brightly lit lights, and they were all in the same family. They walked in the light in the darkness, and they didn't know where they were going.

"Brother Bai." Li Zhen suddenly called him in a low voice.

"what happened?"

"Brother Bai, do you want to distract yourself?"

Shouldn't you know best?

"It's nothing serious."

"If there is anything, brother Bai might as well tell me." Li Zhen said caringly.

I'm still talking to you, I just want to see, can you take it off?

Distraught, he didn't want to talk about the subject any more, so he kept his mouth shut and bowed his head.

Seeing this, Li Zhen didn't ask any more questions, but just quietly walked slowly with him.

Li Zhen didn't ask any more questions, but Bai Qiao's heart exploded.

what am i doingWhat are you shy about?Say it, say it!You ask him! What about your future?If I don’t talk about it now, there will be no chance to find out again in the future! ! !

"I..." He was about to speak.

"Hey, look, Brother Bai!" Li Zhen suddenly pointed.

Ok!

He sighed in his heart, and raised his usual gentleness, "What?" He looked along his hand.

In the middle of the wide river channel is filled with silvery water. Under the light of the street lights, some red or orange lights are added, and the river flows slowly.

Li Zhen began to introduce, "This river, according to legend, was when the gods came down to earth to collect the offerings. Everyone was happy for the gods to bless them. There were too many offerings and they couldn't get them, so the gods thought of a way - open this river, and the offerings are all Tens of millions of paper boats flowed with the water to the heavens, and it was very spectacular for seven to seven days, which god really kept the people safe and healthy.”

Li Zhen walked to the river, splashing the water, and he followed, "Later, everyone wrote their wishes on paper, and the paper boats followed the river to heaven, and the gods would know about it. And every year, everyone went to the temple in the north of the city to worship. , I hope the immortal will say more good things in the sky."

He listened quietly, but saw Li Zhen take out two pieces of paper from his pocket.

"Brother Li still has paper with him?"

"It's just a habit." Li Zhen touched left and right, spreading his hands, "Oh, I don't have a pen."

"It's a pity." He sighed.

"It's okay." Li Zhen didn't care, and folded the paper one by one.He handed another one to Bai Qiao.

He shook his head: "I won't."

"It's okay, I'll teach you."

He took the paper, and Li Zhen slowly stretched out the paper in his hand.

"Look, fold the paper in half..."

Li Zhen demonstrated step by step, and he followed step by step.

"Then press the top down and press it like this." Li Zhen lifted it up to show him.

He followed suit.

"Use your fingers to pull the inside apart..."

"What?" He couldn't see clearly, and stretched his head involuntarily, it was so close that he was about to touch Li Zhen's body.

Li Zhen coughed lightly for no reason, and raised his hand slightly so that he could see more clearly.

His eyes followed Li Zhen's hand up.Looking up, he caught sight of the Adam's apple and the lower jaw. He suddenly realized that the distance was too close, and wanted to get up quickly.

But his body couldn't find the center of gravity in this posture, so he fell forward heavily.

Li Zhen saw it and quickly reached out to help.

But he stretched a little slower, and Bai Qiao's face fell right into his hands.

Both of them were taken aback, allowing this funny posture to be maintained for a moment.

Bai Qiao only felt a "boom" in his head, like a thunderbolt from the sky, knocking him out of his mind.His face suddenly became hot.

He quickly straightened up, quickly took a few steps back to widen the distance, covered his face and repeated himself.

"Cough!" Li Zhen coughed lightly to ease the embarrassment, "Then just pull the two sides apart." He said, raising the folded boat in his hand to him.

"I'm fine too." He also smiled and showed Li Zhen.

The two of them went back and forth this time, and it felt like you were asking for credit and I was begging for praise.

His warm red cheeks were exposed to the air, accompanied by a moment of innocence. Through the night of early spring, he felt a little more romantic than his usual seriousness.

Li Zhen turned his head, covering his red face and the corners of his mouth that couldn't be restrained.

Seeing that Li Zhen didn't look at her, Bai Qiao realized that she was smiling a little foolishly and panicked.

Quickly changed the subject, "Shouldn't it be put into the river now?"

"En." Li Zhen walked to the river, but did not put it down for a long time, but stood quietly.

Bai Qiao followed and saw that Li Zhen was not moving, so she stood behind without moving.He heard Li Zhen talking softly, but the distance was not very close, and Li Zhen's voice was too soft for him to hear clearly.

He simply didn't listen, and just watched Li Zhen's figure quietly.

He felt that Li Zhen was a little different, now Li Zhen was full of piety, since the origami boat was for praying, he must be praying for something, maybe it was something, maybe it was someone.

Maybe it's my sweetheart...
