Chapter 24 Blazing

Zhiyuan's life in the United States is very easy.Compared with the helper sent by the headquarters, in the eyes of the colleagues in the office, he is more like a visitor, and he has no substantive work to do.This kind of situation was expected by Zhiyuan, and the "airborne soldiers" were already very grateful not to be treated coldly.He didn't talk much, but he did all the odd jobs with all his heart.Once we get along, the colleagues all think this handsome boy is good, and they take him to the meetings with the exhibition company and internal planning meetings.Zhiyuan is like a thirsty sponge, seizing every opportunity to learn everything he doesn't know.

Busy and fulfilling, compressing the space to miss Anmin to the greatest extent.

Today’s sunset is beautiful, if only you were here; looking at the photos of the Lobster Festival taken by my colleagues, I remembered the day of the opening ceremony; I dreamed of you last night, looking at me and smiling on the ice rink, and I don’t remember anything else after waking up , I only know that I miss you very much... But I can't even tell you.

He doesn't have a video with Anmin every day, not only because of the jet lag of "I have morning tea and the moonlight shines on your hair", but also because he is worried about losing control of unspeakable emotions.You like to think of me as a simple child, and I will talk about the life of the journal, and I will also listen to you talking about other people's emotional crises and bad lunches.I don't know how long it takes to wait for a flower to bloom, but I can wait anyway.

A week before returning to China, Zhiyuan received a call from an unfamiliar number.The voice of a young girl said that the number given by "Uncle Lin" happened to be near the office today, and I hope he can have dinner with him.

Uncle Lin?Sure enough, across the Pacific Ocean, Zhiyuan suddenly felt that the girl on the other end of the phone was not easy, so he accepted the dinner invitation.

The girl is studying at an art university here. She has bright features and decent manners. It can be seen that her family background, self-cultivation and education are impeccable. She is a typical public (straight male) "goddess".However, Zhiyuan felt that even as a friend, she lacked the popularity, the fresh popularity that makes people unconsciously want to get close.

The two ate a Western meal in a polite and thoughtful manner. At the end, the girl asked him what he was going to do for the weekend and wanted to go to Disney together.Zhiyuan said sorry and had to work overtime.

The girl seemed to have expected his answer, and there was no panic on her face: "It's okay, work is important. Uncle Lin said that you will return to China next week, and it happens that I am on vacation at that time, and I can be a long-distance flight travel companion."

Zhiyuan didn't expect this move, and instinctively shied away: "Let's talk about it, the work arrangement has not yet been determined."

"Sure, Uncle Lin has sent the flight information." The girl smiled.

Zhiyuan: "..."

***

After an unknown amount of time, the wine bottle next to An Min was more than half empty.The phone's notification sounded, and it was Zhiyuan who sent a video invitation.An Min swiped his hand and clicked to accept. The picture on his side was dark, but on the other side it was bright and refreshing.

Zhiyuan's hair was disheveled: "Anmin! Why is it so dark? Are you sleeping? I'm afraid you went to bed early, so I beat you as soon as I woke up, and I didn't even wash my face."

For some reason, Anmin's eyes were sore, he cleared his throat: "No, the light is not turned on, what time is it then? Wake up so early, go to sleep."

Zhiyuan felt that something was wrong with him: "Are you at home?"

"Well, I'm at home." An Min squeezed out a smile.

"Drinking?" Zhiyuan asked tentatively, "What happened?"

An Min actually felt that his eyes were a little wet: "It's okay! Well, An Qi! An Qi was sent to another province, and I just drank a little to see her off today."

Zhiyuan felt relieved, but regretted: "Will you be back for the holidays? I even bought a gift for Sister An Qi."

An Min nodded and smiled: "Well, she's coming back from vacation, she must be very happy to know. Are you... used to it?"

"I'm not used to it!" Zhiyuan raised his chin and turned closer to the camera, "So, I'll go back early! I'm going to city B tomorrow night. Are you surprised?"

"Huh?" Alcohol made Anmin more dull, "Surprise."

"I said yes when I left, but I have to do what I say! I will send you the flight number later."

"Okay." The alcohol seemed to evaporate instantly.

Fall is here and my space station is back.

The next morning, An Min held a handful of sunflowers and two large boxes of ice cream, and opened the door of Room 1601 with the spare key.Zhiyuan's house, which has been blocked from the door because of no warming gifts, now finally has a legitimate reason to step in - to help you open the windows for ventilation.

Perhaps it was a psychological effect, An Min smelled the faint scent of vanilla butter cake as soon as he entered the door.Zhiyuan's house was more concisely furnished than his house, so he didn't care to appreciate it carefully. He first wiped off the water from the outer box of ice cream and put it in the freezer drawer of the refrigerator.In the upper cabinet of the kitchen, I found the vase they bought together at IKEA, took half a bottle of water, and inserted the cut sunflowers into it.Placed in the center of the pure black dining table, the room instantly bursts with a lively vitality.

Anmin appreciated it from all angles with satisfaction, and then opened the windows for ventilation and formally visited.

In Zhiyuan's study room, a bookshelf is full of professional books, which he can't read.There are many old textbooks on the other bookshelf, Anmin picks up one at random, "Mathematics for the First Grade of Junior High (Volume [-])", the immature notes in it make the corners of his mouth twitch wildly: "It's so cute!" On the desk is a The group photo is guessed to be a group photo of Xiao Zhiyuan, who is about seven or eight years old, with his grandfather and grandmother. "Little adults! Cute!"

The guest room simply has a double bed, which is not as "special" as An Min's house.Approaching the master bedroom, the sweet smell does exist.Unlike other rooms, the master bedroom door is closed.Anmin tried to twist the handle, but it was unlocked. Before entering the door, he was inexplicably nervous. After all, it was Zhiyuan's most private living space.

As soon as he walked in, he understood why Zhiyuan didn't let him in.There was a poster-sized photo on the wall - wearing a white T-shirt and denim shorts, sitting on a bench by the tennis court of A, smiling at the camera, the sun was shining brightly, making Anmin's eyes a little painful. "stupid!"

Anmin set off for the airport early, and the sky began to rain lightly. He was a little worried about whether Zhiyuan's flight could land smoothly.For convenience, he walked around the parking lot a few times, and finally found a parking space in the area closest to the international arrivals area.

All that's left is to wait.Looking at the arrival flight information scrolling on the electronic display board, Anmin became more and more nervous.More timid near the nostalgia?The closer you get to the space station, the more anxious you become.What to say to him?How to tell him?He suddenly felt like nothing was going to happen.

Messages from the Lingyun work group flashed.

Rita: There is a yellow rainstorm warning from the Municipal Meteorological Observatory, everyone, don’t go out if you have nothing to do.

Anmin: Does it affect the airport?

Rita: I don't know Mr. An, where are you going?Let me check the flight number.

Anmin: It's okay.

He walked to the glass window and saw that it was raining outside, but the rain was not heavy.It's okay to be delayed until you land.

Zhiyuan's flight finally landed at 21:28 in the evening, and Anmin took a prominent position among the crowd before the exit, constantly looking at his mobile phone.

"Ding!"

Zhiyuan: landed

The tension and entanglements before were gone, and An Min was full of anticipation and joy, and An Min smiled.

AM: [OK]

Knowing that it will take time to carry the luggage and enter the customs, Anmin has been staring at the flow of people at the exit, hoping to meet Zhiyuan's gaze as soon as he walks out.As you said, I'm here to pick you up.

The moment Zhiyuan and a girl came out talking side by side, Anmin didn't move.He saw two suitcases stacked on the luggage trolley pushed by Zhiyuan—the black one he had arranged by himself and a light pink one on top of it.The scene in front of him gradually overlapped with a certain scene eight years ago, and the sound of electric current rang in his ears. An Min struggled to squeeze out of the crowd and ran to a corner with few people.

Zhiyuan didn't see Anmin at the exit, guessing that he might just go to the bathroom.Waited for 5 minutes, still no one was seen, and no reply to WeChat.The phone rang for a long time, and finally connected.

Zhiyuan asked anxiously: "Anmin? Anmin? Where are you?"

The voice on the other end of the phone was unclear: "Sorry, the company has something to do...I'll hang up first."

Zhiyuan stood blankly holding the phone, unable to realize what Anmin's words meant.

The girl who studied art said: "Your friend didn't come? Take the car that picked me up and leave. The driver said that it was raining heavily in the urban area, and the taxi line may take a long time now."

Seeing that Zhiyuan didn't speak, she signaled the driver to push up the luggage cart and go first, and she shook her hand in front of his eyes.

"Huh?" Zhiyuan finally responded.

"I said, take our car and go first."

Zhiyuan found that the luggage had been pushed away, and followed without saying anything.

At the entrance of the parking building, the driver who picked up the girl forgot which area the car was parked in, and had to check the location on the self-service inquiry machine.Zhiyuan watched him typing in front of the machine, and suddenly came up with an idea, walked to the empty machine, input Anmin's license plate number, and clicked "Query"——

Parking location: No. 186, District [-]

Admission time: 18:43

Zhiyuan looked at the screen and laughed, his eyes shining brightly: "Silly!" He dialed the phone again, and after connecting, he didn't give the other party a chance to speak. No. Wait for me!"

He said to the art girl: "Thank you, I'm leaving first, don't listen to Mr. Lin in the future, I'm sorry." After speaking, he ran to the first area of ​​the parking lot.

The driver who found the parking space looked at the girl blankly: "He left? The luggage is still here."

"Tell Uncle Lin."

Anmin saw Zhiyuan leaning against his car, his lips trembled twice, but without saying a word, he pressed the unlock button on the key.

The car lights flashed twice, Zhiyuan turned around and saw him, and said with a smile, "Why are you still lying?"

An Min, who was exposed on the spot, was a little embarrassed. He deliberately ignored him and opened the door to get in the car in silence. He put on his seat belt and started the ignition in one go.

Zhiyuan also sat up, turned his body towards Anmin, put his right hand on the steering wheel, as if circling him, and said, "No rush. Anmin, can we make an agreement?"

An Min finally met his eyes: "Huh?"

Zhiyuan's voice was infinitely gentle: "From this moment on, we will not lie to each other. No bullshit white lies. Can you make an appointment with me?"

An Min looked into his shining eyes and nodded: "Okay."

Zhiyuan laughed and said, "That girl was arranged by Mr. Lin. She had a meal together in the United States. She said that she booked the same flight back home as me. Later, I asked my colleagues to help me change the ticket two days in advance. Thinking of seeing her again as soon as boarding the plane, the whole of Lida is really Lin Boss' eyeliner."

Anmin: "..."

At this moment, the attributes of the two who are talkative and talkative seem to be exchanged.

Zhiyuan went on to say: "That's what you saw just now. If you have any questions, just ask me face to face. If there are any problems, we will solve them on the spot, okay?"

Ever since seeing Zhiyuan, Anmin's heart has been churning.I obviously thought about it last night, why did everyone come back and still do it for such a trivial matter?Anmin, oh Anmin, can you make a difference?How embarrassing!

Just when he was about to say "I'm sorry" that had been brewing for a long time, An Min's cell phone rang.Zhiyuan urged him to answer with his eyes, and Rita's voice came out anxiously: "Mr. An! You didn't go to the airport, did you?"

"What's wrong?" Anmin regained his composure from Rita.

"The traffic broadcast said that the XX section of the airport expressway is seriously flooded and the road is closed in both directions. Don't go there, stay at home!"

"...I'm at the airport."

"The broadcast said that it is safest for arriving passengers to enter the city by urban rail. The bus detours the national highway, and the small car is recommended to stop at the airport."

"Okay, I see, thank you Rita, I wish you an early transfer of the school district house."

Zhiyuan was inexplicable: "What's going on?"

An Min said: "It rained heavily in the urban area, and the highway at the airport was closed. We either wait at the airport for the water to recede, or take the urban rail to go home. Where's your luggage?"

"Oh, it's left with that girl. It's okay. I guess she will ask Mr. Lin to pick it up. I can wait at the airport or take the city rail. Anyway..." Anyway, you are with me.

Anmin thought about it for a while, and finally made a decision: "It's not sure when the rain will stop. Let's take the city rail and go home. You've been flying for so long, go home and rest, and..." And I bought it for you. Ice cream, with a particularly sunny bouquet of sunflowers.

"Okay, let's go!"

The urban rail at this time is more terrifying than the morning peak, and those who are eager to return can squeeze one by one.The two finally squeezed into the car when the second bus arrived, and the crowd behind them exerted force, making them unsteady on their feet and almost falling down.Anmin subconsciously grabbed Zhiyuan's arm, and then slipped to grab his hand.Zhiyuan looked at him, waiting for his next move.An Min stuck in front of him, intertwined his fingers, and said, "Pull it up, don't get lost."

Zhiyuan didn't speak, his eyes were full of surprise, and the surrounding air was shouting for him: "Really? Are you kidding me?"

An Min understood, and smiled triumphantly at him, blinked his right eye quickly, and at the same time, gently scratched his palm where his thumbs were still intertwined.

Zhiyuan felt that he was so f*cking cowardly today, why did he always want to cry!Unable to say a word, he could only hold An Min's hand tightly with red eyes, and pressed his dishonest thumb.

The intertwined hands were forced to separate when they got out of the station and passed the ticket gate. Zhiyuan immediately wanted to grab Anmin's hand again.Unexpectedly, Anmin refused!

"Wait a minute, I'll find the umbrella first."

The pouring rain outside the station melted into the night clamorously, and the three-fold umbrella could not protect the two of them well.An Min had an idea in his mind, and instead of holding hands with Zhiyuan, he held an umbrella in one hand and hugged his shoulders with the other, leading him to run in the rain.

Anmin turned the umbrella to Zhiyuan's side, and Zhiyuan pushed the umbrella back to him.Pushing and pulling all the way, both of them got wet when they ran home, looking at each other's wet hair and clothes in the elevator, and giggling together.

After getting out of the elevator, Anmin put his umbrella on the bay window and said to Zhiyuan, "Go home and change quickly, take a hot bath and sleep well."

Zhiyuan replied "Yes" and stood still.

Anmin turned to look at him while unlocking the door of his own house, and smiled: "Rest first, let's talk about jet lag when you get better, be good." He said in a familiar coaxing tone to the child, and gave Zhiyuan who was standing stupidly a wink with his right eye after speaking, and turned around enter the door.

As soon as he took a step into the house, he felt pushed from the back, and then he was grabbed by the shoulder and swung to the wall next to the door, but fortunately he didn't hit his head.

"Are you crazy?" An Min shouted as he broke free from the hands that bound his shoulders.

Zhiyuan stretched out his foot and kicked the door shut, and the room suddenly became dark, only the lights from a few houses in the front building shone through the French windows without curtains.The heavy rain beat against the glass, rhythmically echoing the sound of rapid breathing.Zhiyuan took off his backpack and threw it on the ground, put his hands on Anmin's shoulders, approached him, and said, "I think I'm crazy too. Anmin, am I dreaming?"

Anmin held his face in his hands, wiped away the little rainwater, then rubbed his fingertips on his face, shortened the distance between the two of them, and put their foreheads against their foreheads, whispering in a low voice: "It's a dream, a very beautiful dream." . Zhiyuan, I really like you." After speaking, he pressed a light kiss on Zhiyuan's lips.

It was too light, like a falling feather gliding over the lips, and flew away before I could feel it.It was too heavy, like an electric current passing through the body, making Zhiyuan tremble, unable to speak for a long time, staring directly at An Min.

"Pfft," An Min couldn't help laughing, and scratched the tip of Zhiyuan's nose, "What's wrong? Are you stupid?"

Zhiyuan was ashamed and angry, he pushed Anmin against the wall with his hands, and took out a hand to gently cover his eyes.

Anmin blinked his eyes a few times and asked, "Why? Don't let me see?"

Zhiyuan's palms were itchy, and he warned: "Don't move! Your eyes are too fierce, I can't stand it."

An Min laughed without hesitation: "Don't spread rumors, okay?"

Zhiyuan also smiled, licked his lips unconsciously, threw away all the shackles in his heart, and kissed Anmin's domineering dimples.

An Min's smile froze on his face, and he groped to wrap his arms around Zhiyuan's waist.

Zhiyuan put the hand on An Min's shoulder to the back of his neck, and kissed him hard on the lips.
