just in time

Yun Fang covered his mouth, but the blood still flowed out from between his fingers.

He bit off the glove with his teeth, stuffed it into the pocket of his school uniform, and staggered forward in the night.

The siren was getting closer, and he heard a distant noise.

The vision in the mountain forest was not clear, he walked forward step by step, every bone in his body hurt badly, and even his breath smelled like blood.

He didn't want to be seen by the police.

I can only grit my teeth and move forward.

He hates walking in the mountains and forests. The road ahead is full of identical trees, as if no matter how he walks, he can't get to the end.

I don't know how long I walked forward, and when the vision in front of me began to blur, the mobile phone in my pocket suddenly began to buzz and vibrate.

He wiped the blood from his hands on his clothes indiscriminately, took out his phone and looked at the screen.

Caller: Yi Chenliang.

He looked at the time, it was [-]:[-] in the middle of the night.

Yun Fang's hands trembled a little. He leaned against a tree and took a deep breath, then pressed the connect button.

"Hey, what's the matter?" His voice was as steady as ever.

Yi Chenliang on the opposite side was breathing a little unsteadily, with a hoarseness from just waking up, "It's okay, I had a dream."

Yun Fang laughed, and slowly sat down against the tree, his voice was extraordinarily gentle in the night, "What dream did you have?"

"It's nothing." Yi Chenliang also seemed to feel that calling him in the middle of the night was crazy, "Did I wake you up? Go to sleep."

"It's okay." Yun Fang smiled and said, "Xiao Yi, tell me about your dream, I want to hear it."

Yi Chenliang seemed to turn over on the bed, there was a rustling sound on the phone, and then Yi Chenliang's sleepy voice came from the other end of the phone:

"I dreamed of the Qiushan Orphanage. Do you still remember that there is a large velvet flower forest behind the warehouse of the orphanage?"

"Yeah." Yun Fang picked up a velvet flower next to it and looked at it, with a smile on his lips, "I remember."

"I dreamed that there were so many flowers blooming in the velvet flower forest, big clusters, like the burning clouds in the sky, and you can't see the end at a glance." Yi Chenliang seemed to be recalling that dream, "There are so many velvet flowers, so blooming. In full swing."

A mouthful of blood welled up in Yunfang's throat, and he hastily stretched out his hand to cover it, the blood stained the pink velvet flower in his palm.

"What's wrong with you?" Yi Chenliang asked sharply.

Yun Fang gritted his teeth and swallowed the blood in his throat, and said with a smile, "It's okay, that velvet flower forest is really beautiful when it blooms."

There are pink clouds all over the mountains and plains, stretching to the end of the world.

"I dreamed that you were standing in front of the velvet flower forest and came to pick me up." Yi Chenliang lowered his voice and said slowly, "I was also six years old in the dream, and it wasn't Song Lili and Yi Zhizhi who came to pick me up this time. Big Yi Chenliang."

Yun Fang wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth with his hand, "Xiao Yi, if I come back 15 years earlier, I will pick you up as soon as you are born."

The hoarse voice spread in the night and the scent of flowers.

"The first person you see when you open your eyes is the large Yi Chenliang."

Yi Chenliang over there also laughed, "Then we are only 35 years old."

"Then you can grow up well." Yun Fang smiled silently.

"Da Yi, I miss you a little bit." Yi Chenliang seldom calls him this title. He seems to have not passed the period of language confusion. Brother Shouting, at most add an attributive to him, call him a big Yi Chenliang, every time he hears Yun Fang straight music.

"Miss me?" Yun Fang covered the wound on his stomach, frowned, and said softly, "If you miss me, I can't climb the window to find you, Yun Fang's mother won't let me."

Yi Chenliang was a little ashamed by what he said, "I don't think so either."

There was no response from Yunfang for a long time, Yi Chenliang couldn't help asking: "Are you sleepy?"

"A little bit." Yun Fang took a deep breath, "But you haven't finished your dream, what next?"

"Then... I was very happy to hold your hand, but it was empty." Yi Chenliang was still a little unhappy when he said it, "Turn around and walk into the hibiscus forest. No matter how much I call you, you don't look back. I tried my best to chase after you, but I couldn't catch up with you no matter what."

"You don't want me anymore." Yi Chenliang's voice sounded muffled on the phone.

It seems that he was quite frightened by this dream.

"It's just a dream." Yun Fang noticed that his strength was losing little by little, but he couldn't muster up the strength to stand up and continue walking, so he simply concentrated on talking to Yi Chenliang, "Dreams and reality are both different." It's the opposite."

"Yeah." Yi Chenliang replied: "But I didn't know in the dream, I thought it was real, so I woke up with fright."

"Don't be afraid, and you don't have to be afraid in the future." Yun Fang closed his eyes, "Xiao Yi."

"Huh?" Yi Chenliang squeezed the phone subconsciously.

"I miss you a little too." Yun Fang said.

There was a moment of silence on the other side, and then there was a crackling noise.

Yun Fang couldn't help but ask, "What are you doing?"

Yi Chenliang seemed to have been hit by something, and gasped for air hissingly, "Oh shit... Fuck, it's okay, I'll just get up and turn on the light, you go to your bedroom window, hurry up!"

Yun Fang paused, "Yes."

"Did you see it?" Yi Chenliang asked him enthusiastically.

"I see." Yun Fang stared at the pitch-black void in front of him.

Instead, Yi Chenliang was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, "Hey, am I stupid for waving in front of the window in the middle of the night?"

Yun Fang hooked the corner of his mouth, "It's not stupid, it's quite cute."

Yi Chenliang was a little embarrassed by what he said, and coughed lightly, "Did you not turn on the light in your room?"

"It can't be turned on, mother will wake up when the light is turned on." Yun Fang said slowly.

"Then don't open it." Yi Chenliang seemed to be jumping there twice, "I'm not sleepy at all now!"

"Xiao Yi, did I tell you..." Through the night sky and the endless velvet flower forest, Yun Fang seemed to see Yi Chenliang who was holding a mobile phone by the window.

"what?"

"...It's nothing." Yun Fang coughed, "I'm actually very happy to meet you."

Yi Chenliang felt that something was wrong, but he still replied: "I am also very happy to meet you."

There was no response from the other side for a long time, and Yi Chenliang suddenly felt uneasy for no reason, "Are you feeling unwell?"

"...No, I'm just a little sleepy." Yun Fang held the phone in another hand, "Are you still standing by the window?"

"Ah." Yi Chenliang laughed on the other end of the phone, "I can't sleep anymore, so I'll just stand by the window for a while."

Yun Fang raised his head, leaning against the trunk of the velvet tree and looking at the bright moon hanging in the sky through the dense branches and the dense night.

"Xiao Yi."

"Ok?"

"look up."

"what."

"did you see it?"

"Saw."

"The moon is so beautiful tonight."
