green tree from forest

In fact, there is another version of the ending in the outline. I plan to write it and post it as another side story.

39. Another version of the ending

◎Defense breaking◎

On the day Wen Bai graduated, Lin Cong rushed from Xiachuan to Yanchuan.

Unfortunately, he caught up with the typhoon, the high-speed train was delayed, and the unstoppable rain hit him all over him. When he arrived at school, he was already in a mess.

At the school gate, the moment the security guard asked the students to come out to pick them up, the surprise that Lin Cong prepared for Wen Bai ended.He had to call the people inside.

Due to the weather, the graduation ceremony that was originally scheduled to be held in the stadium was forced to move into the gymnasium. In the midst of the noise, Wen Bai finally received a second call from Lin Cong.

"Mubai, can you pick me up at the door?"

For a moment, the world seemed to be silent.Wen Bo asked incredulously, "Are you at the school gate?"

"Well, the security guard won't let me in, so you have to come out and pick me up."

After hanging up the phone, Wen Bai threw the academic hat to Sun Yinan, picked up the umbrella on the ground and ran out quickly.

Behind him, Sun Yinan's shouts were drowned out by the crowd.

"Come in first, it's raining too much outside." Seeing that Lin Cong was drenched, the security guard called him into the security room to hide from the rain.

The rain fell fast and hard, coupled with the strong wind, which made the forest tremble in this hot June.

Not long after, the sound of "slapping" on the door caught the attention of the two people in the security room.

Wen Bai was panting and wanted to hold the door, but unexpectedly, he slapped it too hard.There was still a T-shirt inside his bachelor's uniform. It was raining and sweaty all the way, and the two clothes were already attached to his body. It looked no better than the jungle.

"You, why are you so fast." The gymnasium is still a little far from the east gate of the school.

I haven't seen him for more than half a year, and Lin Cong looks a little tanned again.Wen Bai didn't answer him, but nodded to the security guard: "Uncle, let's go first."

He pulled Lin Cong out, and the security guard asked puzzledly, "Are you going out?"

Wen Bai is a student who has taken a live-out. He is already very familiar with the security guard, so he nodded.

Lin Cong's umbrella had long been blown out of shape by the wind, and the two of them hid under Wen Bai's larger umbrella, as if they were dependent on each other.

"Aren't you going back to attend the graduation ceremony?" The wind was very strong, Lin Cong wrapped his hands around Wen Bai's, trying to stabilize the umbrella and warm him.

"You are so wet, you still want to give me flowers? Besides, where are the flowers?"

Lin Cong didn't dare to say that he was ready, because he left the flower quilt on the high-speed rail.After Wen Bai's graduation ceremony, he was about to follow up with Director Yan on a new project. Last night, he read the relevant materials overnight, stayed up until two o'clock in the night, and got up early to drive the car. He was almost sleepy as soon as he sat down in the car. up.Waking up in a daze, he got out of the car in a hurry, and when he was standing in the crowd in a daze, he realized that he was empty-handed and forgot to take flowers.

Wen Bai's house is rented near the school, and it's only two steps away from the rain.

"Go to the bathroom and take off your clothes. I'll get you a towel." Wen Bai threw Lin Cong in the living room and ran into the house.

The living room is not particularly large, and the sofa coffee table and TV have already taken up more than half of it.This was the first time for Lin Cong to enter this rental house. He stood there and looked around, and then walked into the bathroom barefoot.

There were not many things in the bathroom, Lin Cong took off his shirt, went under the shower, and took a comfortable hot shower.

There was a knock on the door: "Clothes and towels."

Lin Cong turned off the water and opened the door slightly: "Give it to me."

During the handover, Wen Bai's fingertips slid across his palm.

The clothes and towels still had a familiar smell, which he had expected when he first walked into the bathroom and saw the laundry detergent under the sink.

After the graduation ceremony, Wen Bai will soon go to a foreign country and start a life without him.Lin Cong put the towels and clothes on the shelf, and walked under the running water again. He covered his face, letting his thoughts go up and down, but trying to let the running water take away his sorrow.

After taking a shower and getting dressed, Lin Cong took a good look at himself in the mirror. The reddish eye sockets could be covered up by the reason of water in the eyes.

"Ready?" Wen Bai changed his clothes, with a towel on his head.

Lin Cong nodded and asked, "Are you washing?"

"Wash," Wen Bai handed him the phone: "Look at what you want to eat, I'll treat you." After speaking, he patted him on the shoulder.

The bathroom door was closed, and Lin Cong froze in the living room for a long time.He ruined his graduation ceremony, but he still invited him to dinner.

The mobile phone in his hand vibrated suddenly, Lin Cong looked down and saw that someone had sent a message.He had no intention of prying into Wen Bai's privacy, so he took out his mobile phone and ordered a few takeaways.

"What is it called?"

"Pizza and crayfish." Wen Bai walked over as he spoke, and touched Lin Cong's hair that was still wet: "Why didn't you blow dry your hair?"

Lin Cong enjoyed this moment very much. He even hoped that Wen Bo would touch it a few more times, so his eyes were glued to the screen, and he lowered his head and said, "I don't know where your hair dryer is."

"Hmph," the recessed part of the sofa bounced back, "Isn't it in the drawer in the bathroom!"

"Then you are taking a shower, so I can't break in and get it?" After Lin Cong finished speaking, he suddenly remembered that he had indeed done such a thing.

"Didn't you just do it before! When you were in junior high school!" Wen Bai stepped out, threw the hair dryer into his arms, and then took the phone: "Why didn't you use my phone?"

Reluctantly getting up from the sofa, Lin Cong was about to plug in the hair dryer with bare feet, but Wen Bai grabbed the hem of his T-shirt: "Hey! Wear my slippers, don't go barefoot."

So he put on the slippers obediently again.

"Let's order another cake. I heard that 'Strawberry Sai Gao' has opened a branch in Yanchuan. Hey, there really is."

The hair dryer was working, Lin Cong couldn't hear what he said at all, only saw himself happily on the sofa like an idiot.

Since Wen Bo became single again, whenever the two of them get together alone, he seems to turn back into the big boy who was childhood sweetheart with Lin Cong.But in other ways he has undeniably matured, just like anyone else.

Even though Lin Cong has tried his best to restrain himself, it is still difficult to control his love for Wen Bai.He can only dilute all this with distance and time.

As soon as the sound of the hair dryer stopped, the doorbell rang.

Wen Bo got up from the sofa, "I'll get it!"

Seeing that he was carrying large and small bags in his hand, Lin Cong was surprised: "Why are there so many?"

The bags were placed on the table one by one, "Pizza, crayfish, cake, I ordered some lo mei."

"You bought beer?!" Lin Cong shouted in surprise.

"Why, no? Today is my graduation ceremony." Wen Bai glanced at him, and put the soda can that he had opened in front of him: "Just drink half of the can."

The room was full of aromas. Lin Cong ate a piece of pizza first. Without paying attention, Wen Bai had already drank half a can of beer. He hurriedly reached out to stop him, but was dodged, "Eat something before drinking!"

Wen Bo obediently put down the soda can in his hand and picked up a piece of pizza. He took a bite and frowned: "Seafood flavor? Why not Hawaii?"

"Today is your graduation ceremony, of course to your taste."

Wen Bo smiled: "That's right."

It was still windy and rainy outside, but the small house was already warm.

After most of the pizza, crayfish and lo mein were wiped out, Lin Cong opened the cake box.

With a "click", Wen Bai opened another bottle of beer.

Lin Cong was so engrossed in the strawberry cake that he didn't notice that there were a few more empty cans on the table after so long.When he came back to his senses, Wen Bai was already lying on the table looking at him.

On a typhoon day, the light in the living room was dimmer than any other summer afternoon.

"I'm going to turn on the light." Lin Cong was worried that he would not be able to see clearly for a while, so he was about to stand up, but before he could move, he was held down by a fast figure.

Quince wrapped his hands around Lin Cong's shoulders and put his head on it.Lin Cong turned around slightly, and most of his body fell into his arms.

After a short period of stiffness, he was at a loss, Lin Cong put his hands in the air, and suddenly felt the urge to hug Wen Bai, but he hesitated for a few seconds, and he did.

After Wen Bai drank the wine, his breath became more intense than usual, spraying on Lin Cong's neck, like a small hot air blower at work.

The emotions I had in my heart, the thoughts I had in my head, all turned into ashes the moment I hugged this person, as if they were all groundless worries and would never happen.

Lin Cong's mind was empty, and his whole world was in his arms.And Wen Bai was also so drunk and dazed enough that he even tightened his hands and pressed himself closer to him.

After mumbling for a long time, Lin Cong finally realized that Wen Bai was talking drunk with him, not talking to himself. "What are you talking about?" he asked, pulling the hair around Quince's ear.

"I said, I don't want to go abroad anymore." Wen Bai said in a plaintive voice.

Lin Cong stroked the back of his head reassuringly: "What are you talking about, after so much hard work, my wish is finally coming true."

Afterwards, Wen Bo started to mutter again, but he was unwilling to speak clearly even when Lin Cong asked him.

The phone on the desk rang, Lin Cong picked it up and saw that it was a senior in the group. "Well, brother. I'm in Yanchuan...OK, I'll go back right away. Well, okay, I'll pay attention."

Lin Cong already has a deep understanding of how cute a drunk quince is.After spending a lot of effort to move him to the sofa, he reluctantly sat on the carpet in front of the sofa for a long time, and also looked at it for a long time, until the phone dinged—the memo sent a message reminding him to take a ride. car.

He wasn't sure that he would be able to spare time to see him off, but he was sure that his crush would end without a problem.

After struggling for a while, Lin Cong moved closer to himself like a snail, and then gently kissed the corner of Wen Bai's mouth, leaving a sentence "I love you" in front of him.

Wen Bo's eyelashes fluttered slightly, which startled him, but luckily he didn't wake up.

After tidying up the rest of the things on the table, Lin Cong took out the matcha Oreos that he had prepared early yesterday from his bag, pressed them on the sticky note left behind, then picked up his bag and left the hut.

It's a pity that he didn't realize that when he was busy in the kitchen, someone's eyes followed him all the time, as if looking into his heart.

That night, Wen Bo sat guarding a box of Oreos in the living room for a long time, until the dazzling sun rose in the sky, announcing the end of the typhoon day.

On the second day, Wen Bai did not call Lin Cong, and on the third day, he still did not call.On the fifth day, he finally couldn't bear to call Aunt Xu.As a result, the answer on the phone was like a bolt from the blue, causing him to break two cups a day.

Aunt Xu said that Lin Cong and his mentor went to the mountains to follow up the project, but there was a mudslide on the mountain, and no one can contact them until now.

Wen Bo remembered this news. He glanced at it absently during dinner a few days ago, and still lamented the ruthlessness of nature.He said to Aunt Xu who was also worried on the other end of the phone: "Don't panic, I'll go back to Licheng right away."

Fortunately, God was not ruthless to the end. Lin Cong finally called three days later, but the phone was full of noise, and when Ms. Xu handed the phone to Wen Bai, the call was completely cut off.

Ms. Xu was keenly aware of Wen Bai's loss, and patted him on the shoulder: "Cong Cong said that he will be able to arrive at the high-speed rail station tomorrow night, so you can pick him up then."

"Are you going too?"

"I won't go at night, I'm relieved knowing he's fine." She stood up and wanted to go into the kitchen, but stopped halfway: "Oh, by the way, Congcong seems to have something for you. It's in the bottom drawer of the desk, go and have a look. Take your time, it doesn't matter if you stay in the forest house at night."

When Wen Bo opened the drawer and saw those thick diaries, his heart seemed to be soaked in vinegar, honey, and oil.

This night, Wen Bai really did what Ms. Xu said. He read Lin Cong's daily diary for five years in Lin Cong's bedroom, and fell asleep in a daze at dawn, but he couldn't sleep well, and his dream was full of Lin Cong's figure. , a figure he couldn't catch.

Sleeping until it was three o'clock in the morning, Wen Bai went home to take a shower, and then knocked on the door of Xu's house.

After Lin Cong reported his safety, Ms. Xu's mood stabilized again. She greeted half of her son outside the door and asked, "Xiao Bai, your father won't be jealous when he sees you coming every day?"

"He's busy with work, and he's on a business trip these days."

"Oh…"

"Don't worry, he can't control me." Wen Bai swallowed the little crispy meat in his mouth, and he said something with a reason, but it seemed that he had no reason.

In the evening, Quimber began to fidget.He flipped through the diary in Lin Cong's bedroom, like a scholar who was about to rush for an exam.

As soon as the clock struck eight o'clock, he rushed out of the house in a hurry.

There is still a week before the summer vacation, and there are not many people at the station. For the first time, Wen Bai stood at the nearest position to the exit.

Lin Cong, dressed in dirty clothes and with a tired face, was embraced by him here.

"You...why are you here?" Lin Cong patted the back of Wen Bai who was hugging him tightly, and asked cautiously.

Wen Bai didn't answer, but his hands couldn't restrain himself, and he hugged him even tighter.

Lin Cong thought that he was as frightened as Ms. Xu, so he hugged him tightly and comforted him, "It's okay, I'm back now."

Wen Bai still didn't speak, and Lin Cong forcibly pulled him out of the station until the two of them obstructed others from entering and exiting.

Walking into the underground garage, Wen Bo still held his hand tightly.

"Look at me, don't you think I'm fine? It's fine. No one in our group was injured this time. It's all normal..."

"I love you."

The author says:

The original episode from Wen Bai’s perspective, due to the long interval, there is always a feeling that I can’t connect when I write it. The main reason is that I am not good at learning skills, so I won’t post it.

"Green Trees from the Forest" was written from a small scene that popped into my head during the holiday. I didn't expect to write 12 words, and the update was delayed several times during the period. Thank you for your tolerance and reading!

The next book will be "Planet Hunting Project", a powerful interstellar text, everyone is welcome to bookmark and read =v=, see you then~
