123. The Cultivation of Bamboo Horses (19)(2/3)
Kou Qiu said: "What about now?"
He was a little expectant in his heart, but he couldn't say that now he was a very masculine pine tree or stone!
But Yan Zhuo thought about it carefully and said, "It's also a cotton candy now."
Kou Qiu was not happy.
"I'm so old," he put down the dish with a serious expression. "It's not in line with my temperament."
Yan Zhuo laughed, suddenly reached out and hugged him over and chewed on the tip of his nose.
"It's okay," he said, "it's also my little marshmallow - a sandwich that can be sweet to my heart."
Their breaths were intertwined, and the tip of their noses rubbed gently.
"Nannan."
"Nannan..."
In his eyes, the light-colored pupils of the young man as clear as glass beads were reflected.
——Do you know?
What are the big white rabbit milk candies, sandwich candies, fruit candies, chocolates... they are all not as good as you.
——You are all my sweetness.
--------
In contrast to their days of mixing oil in honey, Zhan Ming's days are not sweet at all.
The family's business was not known to offend someone, but suddenly it became extremely difficult, with goods detained and funds flowing hard. The Zhan family did have some behaviors that did not follow the normal procedures, and were caught and paid for the fines alone. After being released, Zhan Ming had to drag his body, which was almost empty, and run back and forth, hoping to find a glimmer of hope in this reality.
But at this time, all the friends in the past closed the door of their homes. Even when they called, most of them were pushing and urging, and they were talking about their own things.
"Brother Zhan, the situation is different now. How can I deal with it so easily?"
"Think about it, did you offend anyone? No, I can't help either!"
What's more, before he could speak, he said straight: "No money, no money."
After living for so many years, it was the first time that Zhan Ming knew that life was difficult.
How difficult is it?
It’s like walking in the thorns every step, and you can’t see the road ahead at all.
He hadn't been to school well and didn't know how to manage the company. His father fell down because he was too worried. After the child voice came out, he immediately cut off contact with him. Perhaps he felt that he had dragged him down, and he never gave him a contact information afterwards. Zhan Ming had to explore hard in society alone, and the former high spirits were suddenly taken away.
After much persuasion, he finally persuaded a former high school classmate to meet him, thinking about mentioning the matter of asking for help. He chatted with his classmate at the dinner table, and the classmate suddenly said, "Hey, do you still remember Yan Zhuo?"
Zhan Ming's back suddenly became stiff.
“…Yan Zhuo?”
"Yes, Yan Zhuo," said the classmate, "He seems to be in this business, and he is quite big. If you really want to find someone, you might as well go find him."
After the classmate finished speaking, he couldn't help but sigh, "But Yan Zhuo really has the courage. He was still in school at that time, and he dared to come out when he said he came out. When so many people watched, they dared to confess... Alas, why didn't I realize that they were a couple at that time?"
Zhan Ming's mind was in chaos, he barely responded twice, and lowered his head. The classmate didn't realize it and was still sighing, "I don't have that courage."
After all, this kind of sexual orientation is a minority. The rights and interests of minorities are often difficult to maintain. In the eyes of most people, they are like maverick aliens.
The more you work hard in society, the more you know that the courage is valuable at that time. Zhan Ming also knew that when he recalled the face of the boy in his heart, he suddenly fell into silence.
After a while, he stood up almost in a mess, "I'll go to the bathroom."
In the bathroom mirror, Zhan Ming saw his face.
His temples had some white hair. He was obviously in his early thirties, but he looked like he had already stepped into his forty feet.
Time...
Zhan Ming sighed and wiped his hands.
He suddenly missed himself a little bit of a missed himself who had crossed the wall and skipped classes.
That night, Zhan Ming had a strange dream.
He dreamed of Yu Jian.
Yu Jian in the dream was still the same as in high school, with a tender face. When the corners of his lips were bent, the stars fell into his eyes. Zhan Ming brought his helmet, held hands with him, and placed him in the back seat of the motorcycle. When the car shot out like an arrow from the string, the boy behind him also exclaimed and tightened the corner of his clothes.
"Have you sat firm?"
"Yeah!" The boy's voice was as happy as a little bird, chirping in the back seat, laughing and shouting, "Slow down!"
Zhan Ming then smiled and deliberately accelerated the speed again. They walked through the farmland, through the woods, and to the storm of the waves. They took off their shoes and walked forward along the beach. The conch they picked up were packed in their clothes. They kissed under the witness of the waves, and their bodies were all green, but their emotions were already familiar.
In a trance, Zhan Ming heard the person beside him smile and said, "Zhan Ming?"
He turned his head and could see the boy's clear eyes like glass beads.
“—Will you always be by my side?”
Time seemed to be twisted, everything in front of him was blurred and Zhan Ming's heartbeat suddenly became louder. He heard that he didn't want to answer: "Yes."
Yu Jian laughed again.
"Zhan Ming--"
Zhan Ming Zhan Ming Zhan Ming Zhan Ming Zhan Ming.
He recited this name, like he recited his God.
"You've been there, that's fine."
But the world has changed. When the photos of the two of them kissing were posted in the school's publicity board, Zhan Ming stood at the school gate and could see Yu Jian's pale face all at once.
"Oh, it's so disgusting..."
"Two men!"
"How old is this? Will you take the college entrance examination or not?"
"You are perverts, do you know?"
The parents and teachers I heard of, and the classmates who used to spend time together day and night, all seemed to have torn off the masks on their faces. They cursed, beat, cried, and whispered in all corners. Zhan Ming was stopped all his pocket money, his father's chest kept rising and falling, and his eyes were red, asking him to get out, "Get out for me! Just now!"
At that moment, Zhan Ming suddenly felt unprecedented fear. He finally realized something. As long as he left this family, he would be nothing. He was still a student, he could not make money, and he had no ability.
He is, after all, just a parasite.
"Do you admit it?" the parents held a stick in their hands and sternly said, "Do you say it or not!"
explain......
What are you saying?
"That you will study hard, that's all fake!"
"Say or not?"
In front of me was the teacher's face, as if I could barely hold back my anger.
"What the hell is going on," said the teacher, "you guys are really, really together?"
Yu saw him standing beside him, without hesitation at all, and said firmly: "Yes."
The teacher frowned in disbelief and said, "Zhan Ming?"
“…”
"Zhan Ming?"
"Say it!"
Zhan Ming did not go to see Yu Jian who was still stubbornly straightening his spine. He closed his eyes and said something.
"I, I'm not with him."
All the teachers and parents' eyes turned, Yu Jian's face turned pale suddenly, his whole body was like snow, and his body was trembling like a leaf.
"I--"
The eardrum buzzed, and a huge whine echoed in my heart.
He heard himself say almost mechanically: "It's him who pesters me, it has nothing to do with me. Before that, I didn't know that he likes men."
Those flowers, snow, and the sea you have seen.
There is also the one with shiny eyes who is dedicated to loving his horror.
They were all strangled by this sentence.
They no longer exist.
Zhan Ming is not a warrior. He can't raise his spear, can't hold up his shield, and can't use a gun well. In front of such a reality, all he can choose is to throw away his companion who was taken to this road by him, and stagger away alone - he escaped from school, immediately completed the procedures for studying abroad, and was stuffed overseas by his parents.
He never even dared to inquire about Yu Jian again. It was not until several years later that he heard that the boy back then refused to admit that he was wrong, so he left school alone and went to the beach. The waves at the beach rolled up, and he could not come back.
The star fell into the sea.
It can no longer light up.
To be continued...
