you are different from the picture

The flight was unexpectedly smooth, except that Gu Yile was cramped for a short while during takeoff, the rest of the time her breathing was normal, her heart rate was steady, and she fell asleep with earplugs on the way.

Even had a dream.

He dreamed that he was standing in a huge airport and looked around blankly. He didn't know anyone when he saw people, and he didn't understand a word when he heard it. He turned around several times but couldn't find the person he was looking for. Sitting on the ground, he burst into tears.

When he woke up, the fellow sitting next to him was pushing him with his hands: "It's almost here, wake up."

Gu Yile took off the earplugs, wiped the corners of his eyes by the way, and found that there were no tears, so he knew it was another nonsense dream.

When picking up the luggage, the girl who was traveling with him saw that he was out of his mind, and teased him: "I'm going to see my boyfriend soon, are you excited, are you excited?"

There are only about a hundred people in the entire orchestral department, and Gu Yile, who is learning violin, went to L City for a competition and met an online dating partner by the way.

There is nothing to shy away from being asked at this moment. He swallowed exaggeratedly and said, "It's the first time in my life, so it's not too much to be nervous, right?"

Gu Yile put the piano on his back, pushed the suitcase and walked towards the exit.

Thinking that dreams and reality are opposite, he was not really worried that Liang would not come to pick him up.

He is more worried about what to say when the time comes, "You are here", "Have you been waiting for a long time", "Have you eaten yet" or "I miss you so much"?

No matter what he said, it seemed a bit silly, would Liang laugh at him?

Walking like this in a daze, it was only when he was near the exit that he remembered to straighten his hair.

Gu Yile, who was looking at the front camera of the mobile phone, felt that he had begun to feel unaccustomed, and his face was not as good-looking as when he was in China. After rubbing it casually, his eyes just moved away from the phone, and happened to hit a line of sight in front of him.

Gu Yile's heart beat wildly, he turned on his toes, and turned his back quickly.

It wasn't until he spelled "arrivals" on the wall three times to make sure he memorized it that he slowly turned around with his suitcase and mixed in with the crowd and slowly moved forward.

Maybe this is the disadvantage of online dating, Gu Yile thought, everything is so unexpected.

Unexpectedly meet each other, unexpectedly look at each other, and unexpectedly... good-looking.

Gu Yile wasn't sure if the other party recognized him, he was like a swinging penguin, every step seemed to fall, and he only dared to look up through the railing to make sure he was right.

All the conversations simulated in his mind were useless, Gu Yile looked like a not-so-skillful strike-up, and said to the man in front of him, "We... have we met somewhere?"

About 10 minutes later, Gu Yile said goodbye to his friends, and followed the man he met for the first time to the parking lot.

Opening the trunk, the man easily lifted Gu Yile's huge suitcase and put it in.When the slender hand that I saw in the video stretched out in front of me, Gu Yile raised it subconsciously, and when he found something was wrong, he quickly pulled it back and carried it behind his back, and lifted the piano case up: "I carry this myself."

The man let out a "hmm" and closed the trunk.

After getting into the car, Gu Yile remembered and asked, "Did you buy a car?"

"No." The man who started the car in the front turned his head slightly, "I borrowed it from a classmate."

"Dong Junzhe?"

"Ah."

It wasn't until the car drove out of the airport and was driving smoothly on the road that Gu Yile realized that sitting in the back seat was suspected of being a driver.

But after sitting down, it seemed more deliberate to propose to change seats, so Gu Yile had no choice but to beat himself like a sandbag a thousand times in his heart, and vowed to take the co-pilot tomorrow.

The journey was not too short, the streets of L City were quiet and silent in the middle of the night, and the ground was wet and reflective, as if it had just rained.

After sitting upright for 10 minutes, Gu Yile couldn't bear it any longer. He saw something on the seat beside him. He picked it up and saw that it was a foam board.

"what is this?"

As he spoke, he turned the foam board over, and saw two lines written on it—Warmly welcome Teacher Gu Yile to come and guide him, in which the name was bolded and enlarged, and painted in eye-catching blue.

It's a pick-up card.

Before Gu Yile asked, Liang Dong opened his mouth first: "Dong Junzhe told me to do it, it's useless."

It was quite difficult for Gu Yile to hold back a smile. Fortunately, the light in the car was dim. He lowered his head and swallowed the smile back, and when he raised his head, he said with a serious face: "Well, if you use it, I might not strike up a conversation with you."

Liang Dong didn't speak, and drove by himself. After about 3 minutes, he suddenly asked, "Why?"

Gu Yile was not at all surprised by Liang Dong's slow pace.

He thought I knew it, and a smile appeared on the corner of his lips: "Because he is so stupid, my boyfriend is not so stupid."

Because of a useless pick-up card, most of the restraint at first sight dissipated, and the two chatted naturally in the second half.

Gu Yile took out his itinerary and read it out again, Liang Dong pondered for a moment: "That is to say, there are three days of rest before the competition?"

"Yes." Gu Yile said, "But you can only play for a day and a half at most, you have to practice the piano, and you have to go to the competition venue."

"Yeah." Liang Dong nodded, "What about after the match?"

"It depends on whether you win the prize. The top few have to stay in the local area to participate in the music festival. Those who don't win the prize can pack up and leave."

After Gu Yile finished speaking, he felt a little sad, and asked Liang Dong: "Do you want me to win the prize, or..."

Without thinking about it, Liang Dong said, "Anything is fine. I have asked for leave for the past few days, and I will stay with you as long as you stay."

On the first night in L City, Gu Yile was sent to the hotel where he was staying.

Looking at Liang Dong who was walking in front pushing the luggage, Gu Yile suddenly realized that he was really tall, and walked up to him at most to reach the tip of his nose.

He was wearing a dark long trench coat, which made his waist taller and his legs longer, and his hair was cut short and neat. When he looked back at the hotel entrance, Gu Yile thought he saw a male model in a pictorial.

He is also a male model who can speak English.

It’s good to have a boyfriend who speaks good English, and the good thing is that you don’t have to speak up yourself.

Liang Dong was communicating with the waiter, Gu Yile leaned in front of the counter to change the mobile phone card, and when there was a signal, he first messaged his parents to ensure safety, then logged into the forum and briefly reported the situation to netizen Ah Dong: very nervous, a little embarrassing, better than expected Even colder and more handsome than in the video[/Like]

After checking in, when Liang Dong handed the room card to Gu Yile, he explained some things by the way, such as there are no slippers in the hotel, and breakfast is included in the room rate.

Most of Gu Yile knew about it before he came, but he didn't interrupt Liang Dong's speech, but listened patiently, in the night when l city was not quiet at all.

Liang Dong sent Gu Yile to the elevator, pressed the button, and suddenly froze when he turned his head.

"I changed my hair color," he said.

Gu Yile scratched her hair when she heard the words: "How do you know?"

The hair was dyed before coming here, light chestnut, only a little lighter than the original hair color, and he didn't mention this before in his memory.

Liang Dong raised his finger and pointed to the crystal lamp above: "There is enough light here."

While waiting for the elevator to descend, Gu Yile didn't understand the relationship between sufficient light and being able to see the change of hair color. When the elevator was about to arrive, he caught a glimpse of Liang Dong putting his hand into the pocket of the windbreaker from the corner of his eye, and then took it out again.

In the open palm lay three small paper packets full of English.

"Desiccant." Liang Dong explained, "It has been raining frequently recently, so you can put it in the piano case to reduce the humidity."

Gu Yile nodded and took it. Just as the elevator arrived, he walked in with his luggage.

The hotel's elevator door closed very slowly, so slowly that Gu Yile always felt that he forgot to say something.

But he couldn't think of it for a while, so when the elevator door was about to close, he rushed outside and said without thinking: "Come early tomorrow."

When the elevator arrived at the check-in floor, Gu Yile, who was walking in the corridor, heard the phone vibrate in his pocket, took it out and looked, it was a message.

Liang: [OK. 】

On the first night in a foreign country, both Gu Yile and his baby Qin slept soundly.

When he woke up, it was seven o'clock in the morning local time. He and his companions went to the restaurant to eat the buffet breakfast. While taking the elevator, they were still talking about the delicious waffles they had just eaten. When they stepped out of the car on the first floor, they saw Liang Dong Already waiting in the hotel lobby.

Gu Yile stepped forward quickly: "Why are you here so early, and you only slept for a few hours?"

Liang Dong took the piano case in his hand and said, "It's okay, I don't sleep much."

Sitting in the car, Gu Yile thought of something again: "You haven't eaten breakfast yet?"

"Eat." Liang Dong said.

Gu Yile didn't believe it. It took less than four or 10 minutes to drive here from Liang Dong's residence. Where can I buy breakfast before dawn?

It's a pity that the snacks brought on the plane were confiscated when they passed the customs, so Gu Yile lay in front of the car window and stared outside to see if there was any edible food for sale.

Due to time constraints, the trip to the museum was temporarily postponed. Liang Dong first took Gu Yile to the West District Municipality.

The Palace of Westminster was not open to the public in April. Fortunately, Gu Yile was not very interested in the palace. After staying in front of the square for a while, he yawned and looked up at the sky, feeling sleepy.

When he visited the cathedral, he got a little bit of interest, and took pictures of some exquisite statues everywhere. After hearing that the steles embedded in the ground were the tombstones of great people who made great contributions to human civilization, he folded his hands and said, " Rest in peace" and didn't say much for a long time.

As a guide, what Liang Dong had to do was to accompany the commentary. The employer was absent-minded, and he had no idea, so he had to follow silently.

The lunch in country y is simple, Gu Yile does as the Romans do, so he finds a fast food restaurant on the side of the road and drags Liang Dong in.

The taste of the sandwiches was quite satisfactory, Gu Yile ordered three, one for himself and two for Liang Dong.

Liang Dong was really hungry, so he ate everything.

Going to take the ferry on the Isis River in the afternoon, Gu Yile was bored counting the swans on the river, chanting while counting.

Liang Dong listened carefully, this one was steamed, this one was salt baked, this one was brushed with oil and put into the oven, this one was cumin, this one was spicy, this one was wrapped in sweet and spicy sauce, each one was clearly arranged.

After hearing that these swans belong to the royal family's property, Gu Yile's eyes widened: "So particular?"

Liang Dong replied: "Well, there will be a swan census every July."

"Hey." Gu Yile swallowed, turned his face to the swans and said reverently, "I'm offended."

After taking the ferry, go to sit on the Ferris wheel that Gu Yile is thinking about.

The Eye of the City is on the bank of the Isis River. They waited in line for 10 minutes to buy tickets, and the two were placed in a cockpit surrounded by glass.

Gu Yile's fear of flying stemmed from his fear of heights, so he was a little restless. He didn't want Liang Dong to see it, so he took out his phone and pretended to be playing.

He went to the forum familiarly, clicked on the private chat with Dong: I am riding a Ferris wheel!

Dong replied quickly: Is it fun?

today should be happy: It’s okay, but it’s not the same as I imagined[/sigh]

Dong: what's wrong?

today should be happy: he doesn’t talk much, he always feels like a professional tour guide, not a boyfriend, he asks a question and answers a sentence

Dong: ...

Today should be happy: Ah Dong, when does he plan to kiss me?

Dong: When the time is right.

todayyihappy: You see that your answer is not firm anymore... I won’t go back when I’m still a virgin tat

It takes three to ten minutes for City Eye to turn around, of which two ten minutes are spent playing with mobile phones, and ten minutes are spent looking at the scenery.

When he came down, Gu Yile felt his hand was touched, but Liang Dong only supported him until he stood still, and then let go, without staying for a second.

Gu Yile lost his temper completely, thinking that if it's really not possible, my overlord will forcefully bow at night, if I can't kiss, at least hold a small hand, right?

Looking back, I thought again, did he miss my face?

During dinner, Gu Yile asked, "Am I much different from the photo?"

Liang Dong thought for a while: "Yes."

Gu Yile said: "I've been bored at home for a while, so I lost weight by the way."

Gu Yile thought to himself: It's over, he really likes black-skinned muscular women's bosses.

Going shopping at night became more and more disinterested, Gu Yile walked listlessly, his eyes wandering around without focus, until a bright music broke into his ears.

This street is very lively, with people of all skin colors singing and dancing everywhere.In front of him was a middle-aged man with beards standing on the side of the road playing the piano. The music he played was a Hungarian dance.

Gu Yile was attracted by the ups and downs of the warm music, listening to it, his hands were itchy.He turned his head to go back to the car to pick up the piano, but saw Liang Dong standing not far behind him, and handed over the piano case.

Gu Yile couldn't remember if Liang Dong had brought the piano with him when he got off the car, but time was running out, he took out the piano, adjusted the tone slightly, pulled the bow after a bar passed, and joined in the performance at the right time .

The double piano sound made the melody more full and mellow, but even more light. The bearded uncle smiled and welcomed the fellows to join, and took the initiative to pull up the harmony melody.

The concert speaks, and there is no need for communication to cooperate harmoniously, cadence, ups and downs, transitions, beating notes flow from the strings, and when the short song ends, passers-by who stopped to appreciate applaud, and the musicians are also hearty.

The bearded man who put down the piano gave Gu Yile a thumbs up, and Gu Yile smiled and returned the thumbs up. When he turned back with a little shortness of breath, the person who handed him the piano just now stood outside the crowd, staring intently at it. looking at him.

It was dusk and the lights were dim. Gu Yile caught the smile on Liang Dong's mouth. Suddenly, the unfamiliarity of meeting for the first time, the uneasy fear, the depression of not knowing the other party's mind, all the uncertainties seemed to disappear out of thin air.

He flew over 9000 kilometers to come here, in order to make the face that appeared on the screen of the mobile phone countless times, the voice compressed and distorted by the software, and his smile perfectly overlap with the real world.

It rained again at night.

Walking on the road, Liang Dong wanted to take off his windbreaker to protect Gu Yile from the rain. Gu Yile grabbed his hand and said no, perhaps because he was afraid that the road would be slippery and fall. The two naturally held each other's hand and walked along the wet stone road Walk.

The car was parked in front, and Gu Yile walked under the curb, and when he looked up, Liang Dong was also looking at him.

The sound of the rain is quiet, and the heartbeat is noisy.

Suddenly, Gu Yile lowered his eyes, seeing the shadow on the ground approaching a little bit, he took a breath, and raised his head suddenly when the atmosphere was just right.

The accident happened in an instant. Because the two people who were close to each other did not grasp the distance and strength well, one lowered his head to find the other raised his head to reach, and was caught off guard by the wrong position in a hurry. Throat.

What was supposed to be a lingering first kiss turned into a thrilling bloody incident.

Ten minutes later, Gu Yile was waiting in front of the 10-hour pharmacy, rubbing the fresh wound on the corner of his lips with his fingers. It was obviously numb and painful like a piano string breaking his face, but he was not sad at all, and he couldn't even hold back his laughter.

The rain stopped after a while, and the street was breezy. The two didn't get back into the car, but found a bench by the side of the road, sat down and gave each other medicine.

Liang Dong's wound was at the corner of his lower lip. In retrospect, it seemed that his lower teeth touched it. Gu Yile wanted to laugh again, but bent his lips to touch the wound, frowning in pain.

"It's a good thing I didn't learn to play a wind instrument." He hissed, "Otherwise I'd have to quit the competition."

It was Liang Dong who applied the medicine on him, and the cotton swab soaked in the medicine was gently spread on the wound. Liang Dong said in a low voice: "I'm sorry."

"What is there to apologize for? If it weren't for me..."

If it wasn't for my lust, I wouldn't be able to...

Gu Yile was so ashamed that he couldn't continue, and felt that Liang Dong was really to blame. Today, he didn't kiss so many times, but he bumped into her. Could this be some kind of mysterious tacit understanding between lovers?

He stood up, rubbed his hot face, and said, "It's late, let's go."

"Where are you going?" Liang Dong asked.

Gu Yile had rehearsed this conversation in his mind. According to the original setting, he should say "go home with you" with a straight face, but practice is higher than theory. Now that the words are on the verge of his mouth, he can't open his mouth in a daze.

Liang Dong also stood up.He is tall, with broad and flat shoulders. There is a street lamp above his head, and the shadow that falls on the ground just covers Gu Yile.

This made Gu Yile feel warm and safe like never before.

So the courage rekindled, Gu Yile quickly turned around, put his arms around Liang Dong's neck, lifted his heels off the ground, and tried to reach him with his lips again.

Xu Shi was ready in the few minutes just now, and Liang Dong's response this time was just right.He bowed slightly, lowered his head, wrapped his arms around Gu Yile's waist, and responded to the kiss gently.

The movements of the two were very light, slowly and greenly probing each other, bringing the other's breath into their own territory.

When they parted, Gu Yile stretched out his tongue and licked his lower lip, his cheeks flushed due to lack of oxygen were tinged with embarrassment that couldn't be concealed.

"It smells like medicine." He wrinkled his nose and said.

Liang Dong smiled again, but it was still very faint, and he couldn't tell unless he was careful.

He looked straight into Gu Yile's eyes without hesitation, and said, "You are different from the photo."

Gu Yile was stunned, but before he could react, he heard him say again: "Lele looks better."

Later, under the street lights after the rain, Gu Yile still answered Liang Dong's question.

He stretched out his hand, palm down, as if waiting to be held.

What is unfamiliar people and places, but what if you don't understand the customs?He thought, who hasn't fallen in love for the first time?

As long as the overflowing love can't be hidden, there will always be the most suitable time for the two of them.

"I've given you my hand." Gu Yile announced with his chin raised, "Take me away."
