Sludge to the Mountain Ghost

At least the frequency of ten sentences back to one sentence became nine sentences back to one sentence, but Lin Pai still ignored him.

Xu Rui lay down on the bed, reciting a few English words absent-mindedly, and casually threw the vocabulary book beside the pillow, leaving only a dim night light.

He raised his wrist in front of his eyes, and tied a bracelet of the same style as Lin Pai's. The metal pendant was engraved with the letter "L". .

Thinking back to Lin Pai's voice and smile over and over again, the night was very long, time seemed to lose its scale.

It wasn't until the voltage in the house was a little unstable and the night lights flickered twice that Xu Rui came back to his senses. He sat up a little from the bed with his arms propped up, and looked down to see a tent set up under him.

"Have you ever done it to me?"

He smiled very lightly, thinking that when Lin Pai said this, his eyes were wet, implying some kind of expectation.

The phone rang a notification tone, he squinted his eyes to adapt to the sudden light on the screen, and saw an unread message from Lin Pai:

Brother Rui, happy birthday and Happy Children's Day.

The time was exactly zero o'clock, exactly one second.

57. Chapter 57

The sunrise is getting earlier and the sunset is getting later, and the scorching heat passes through the mountains, rivers and seas year after year.

After graduating from the third year of high school, the second year of high school became the quasi-senior year of high school. In contrast, they have the two privileges of staying in school for evening self-study and making up classes during holidays.

"Wow——" Accompanied by a tidy cheer, the whole classroom exploded, and more than forty people discussed in a hurry. The dull and boring classroom atmosphere a few minutes ago disappeared.

This day is the end of July, the last day of summer tuition.

The ceiling fan on the ceiling was tirelessly blowing the wind. Li Chanjuan had just announced that the class would go on a trip to the seaside, and felt that the classroom was hot, so she fanned the wind with two pieces of draft paper folded in half.

The graduate voluntary application has all been completed. Li Chanjuan looked out the window. The third floor of the high school not far away was empty, and there were cleaners cleaning up messy old books.

She withdrew her gaze and looked at the students who were still noisy. They would move to that building soon, and soon after that, they would face parting and go their separate ways.As a teacher, she is good at getting used to parting.

Lin Pai propped his head on one hand and looked out the window.Xu Rui's seat was empty, and he could see the third floor opposite without any obstruction. The strong sunlight caused some discomfort to his eyes, and Lin Pai narrowed his eyes slightly.

He saw a person cleaning up the messy corridor after the "Book Tear War". The cleaner held the big broom and waved it, and the white paper was thrown into the air. The paper was flying and was driven to a pile of hills Beside an old book.

One of the pieces of paper got out of control and floated out from the corridor on the fourth floor. Lin Pai stared at it as it dangled and fell.

"Lin Pai! Lin Pai!" A blank piece of paper kept waving in front of his eyes. The student in the front row lay on the back of the bus seat, and after waking him up, handed him a pen. Fill it out."

Lin Pai took off one earphone and took the paper, only to find that the form was printed on the other side of the paper. He put his name, phone number, address, parents' name and parents' phone number on his knees, and looked up and asked, "Who is it for? "

"Give it to Teacher Li, you are the last one to write it."

Lin Pai stood up and squeezed from the aisle of the two rows of seats to the front of the bus. After handing the form to Li Chanjuan, he squeezed into the last row by himself.

Li Chanjuan counted them all, and said with a loudspeaker, "All the students in our class have arrived, so let's set off now!"

The driver stepped on the accelerator and the bus started slowly.

There was cheering in the car, everyone was talking excitedly, the girls took out their mobile phones to take photos with their companions, and the boys started to take out various snacks from their bags.

Lin Pai was sitting by the window, and there was no one in the seat next to him, just his backpack.

He put his headphones back on, drew the curtains tighter, closed his eyes and went to sleep.

It was noisy in the car at first, but I couldn't hear what everyone was talking about.Later, as the bus moved forward, drowsiness spread among the crowd, the carriage gradually became quiet, and Lin Pai also fell into a drowsy sleep.

I don't know how long it took, the bus bumped a few times, and then the driver slammed on the brakes.

Lin Pai was unprepared, and leaned forward. The expected hard feeling of the seat back did not come, but his forehead hit some kind of soft cushion instead.

Lin Pai opened his eyes and saw the palm of one hand. Looking back along the arm, a face he hadn't seen for a long time appeared in front of him. He was stunned in disbelief, "Brother Rui?"

"It's me, I'm back!" Xu Rui stepped forward and hugged Lin Pai into his arms.

Lin Pai turned his head away, looked down, Xu Rui patted his leg with one hand, "It's almost healed, I can run and jump."

"When did you get in the car?" Lin Pai asked.

"You picked me up halfway, are you surprised? You slept so soundly, didn't you rest last night?"

"Last night I..." Lin Pai paused, suddenly pushed Xu Rui away, slapped him hard on the thigh, then leaned back on the chair, turned his head to look out the window, and said, " none of your business."

"Okay, I haven't seen you for almost three months, and my hair has turned gray several times. Save your anger for the night, and give me a hug first."

Xu Rui raised his hand to embrace Lin Pai, but Lin Pai refused, so he tore off Lin Pai's earphone, and supported his head against his shoulder, "Your eyes are red, don't give me a hug." ...Here, I will lend you my shoulder to sleep on."

Lin Pai moved his head, adjusted to a comfortable posture, and softly read Xu Rui's name.

"What's wrong?" Xu Rui put on the earphone for himself, and found that it was still the same as before, and there was no song playing in it.

"You better organize your excuses."

"How do I need an excuse?"

"But you left me."

"I'm sorry, there were too many things and too messy at that time, I was obsessed with ghosts for a while..."

"You think it through, I'm going to sleep." Lin Pai closed his eyes after finishing speaking,

Xu Rui looked down at his eyelashes, he stretched out his hand, brushed Lin Pai's hair over his earlobe, stroked the contours of his side face one by one, finally sighed softly, and said in his ear, "Go to sleep, I will always there."

The bus drove unsteadily until the afternoon, and the accommodation was booked in a seaside B&B, which was decorated in a Southeast Asian style. In addition to using many log-patterned furniture, a few rattans were wrapped around the pillars in the hall.

The boss had registered the accommodation information and started to provide them with tools for barbecue at night. Li Chanjuan took some students to the nearby farmer's market to buy ingredients, and the other part let them move freely.

After they put away their luggage, they ran into Zhou Ning and Li Cheng as soon as they went downstairs. Zhou Ning asked, "Are you two going shopping or what are you doing?"

"If you don't date on a good day, who is going to go shopping?" Xu Rui said disdainfully.

Zhou Ning sneered, stepped forward and hooked Xu Rui's shoulders, walked aside, and said in a low voice, "How is it? Am I interesting enough? Not only did I tell you about our itinerary, but I also got Lin Pai to share a room with you."

"You talk like kidnapping..."

"Isn't it rude to say something rough?"

Xu Rui nodded with a smile, and gave Zhou Ning a thumbs up with Lin Pai on his back.

Xu Rui distanced himself from Zhou Ning, deliberately amplified the volume, and said, "Then buy what I told you. Our family Lin Pai likes to eat. If you buy less, I will punch you."

"Don't worry brother! I promise to complete the task!" Zhou Ning saluted in a strange way, then turned around and followed Li Chanjuan's team with Li Cheng.

Going out from the homestay, not far away is a large beach that can't be seen.Now it is the peak tourist season, and there are many people gathered on the beach, some are lying down and sunbathing, and some are waiting for the next wave to come and take pictures.

Lin Pai walked aimlessly along the beach with his hands behind his back.Xu Rui was a few steps ahead of him, walking backwards facing him, the two looked at each other, but neither of them spoke.

"Be careful of bumping into someone." Lin Pai reminded.

Xu Rui glanced back, avoiding a child running towards him with a swimming ring in his arms, he stopped, waited for Lin Pai to get closer and stretched out his hand to him.

Lin Pai still put his hands behind his back, he glanced at Xu Rui's palm, and then moved his gaze to Xu Rui's face.

Xu Rui raised his eyebrows, pointed his finger at him, and said, "I haven't run for a long time, run with me for a while."

Lin Pai held his hand and ran around the beach with him.

He ran very slowly at first, but after being urged several times by Xu Rui's hand, he slowly speeded up.But Lin Pai's heart is always hanging, and he always sneaks a few glances at Xu Rui from time to time.

"Half a year has passed, and these legs are really healed!"

Xu Rui smiled helplessly, the salty sea breeze lengthened his voice, he held Lin Pai's hand even tighter, as if he would be blown away by the wind if he didn't pay attention.

When running, the surrounding figures become blurred in the field of vision. They can run recklessly, or give love openly, but the result is only a long series of footprints on the beach, and then they are washed away by the waves Just drop it.

The ups and downs of the tide go round and round, and the young man's running never stops.

They stopped at a beach a little further away, where there were only a few tourists walking leisurely.

Lin Pai sat on the dry sand with his knees hugged, staring at the sea in a daze.

A little further on, at the junction where the sea water and the beach repeatedly kiss, there is a simple swing frame built with three logs, and two swings are tied to it. It looks a little old, and several girls are playing
