sunk into the earth

The date went a little bumpy.On the plane back home, Cheng Sheng originally wanted to lean on Zhang Chen's shoulder to catch up on sleep, but as soon as he touched Zhang Chen's shoulder, the voice of the little Huang Xiaosun speaking in a low voice immediately became lower. His body tensed instantly, and he didn't dare to lean to the side anymore.

When we were eating barbecue, we finally got two people alone. Unfortunately, the restaurant introduced by Xiao Huang was a bit like a small fly restaurant.

The two of them sat facing each other in this messy little restaurant, not moving much, and obediently waited for the grilled meat to come up.

There was a lot of noise around them, and the table closest to them was in the team building. Drinking and punching came one by one, and the voice seemed to be processed by a loudspeaker.The other table was full of foreigners, chirping incomprehensible language pouring into the ears as if listening to a curse.

Cheng Sheng sighed inwardly, and looked up at Zhang Chen's expression, but the person opposite had a calm expression, earnestly spreading the pork belly and beef that the waiter had just brought on the baking tray.

A row of meat was sizzling, and after a while, Zhang Chen turned them over, and when they were almost roasted, they put them on the plate in front of Cheng Sheng, and then poured him Coke and handed him a paper towel. Don't worry, just open your mouth.

Zhang Chen had just finished working on the plate in front of Cheng Sheng, and was about to pick it up for himself, when a girl at the foreigner's table next door suddenly walked up to them, touched his shoulder cautiously, spoke sticky language, mixed with stir-fried green beans' Chinese hard Talk to Zhang Chen.

Zhang Chen felt that someone was patting him on the shoulder, turned around and listened to a few words, and then he looked clear, first smiled at her friendly, then took the oil-based pen in her hand, and signed a band logo on the extended arm.He saw that the foreign girl's Chinese level was really worrying, so he naturally didn't speak Chinese with her forcefully, and chatted with her casually in the same sticky language, and finally said goodbye to her with a smile.

Cheng Sheng didn't understand a word of this conversation. He guessed that the two were talking about the band, but he didn't expect Zhang Chen to know other foreign languages. When the girl jumped back to his seat, Cheng Sheng asked him: "What's the matter? She and What did you say?"

"A Korean fan of our band, let me sign her arm." Zhang Chen put slices of almost fully cooked meat on the grill plate into Cheng Sheng's plate, and naturally told him about the band's previous experience: "In the past two years, Qiyuan Lao Liu was not very busy with work. Our band went to Korea, Japan and Thailand to perform a few tours, all of which were small bars. The girl just said that she saw our performance in Itaewon when she was in college. , and now I am transferred to China because of work, I never expected to meet him in this kind of place.”

Cheng Sheng was even more surprised: "You can speak Korean?"

"Don't you speak English too?"

"It's different, that's learning the working language." Cheng Sheng put down his chopsticks, "How often do you usually learn these things?" After asking, he still felt incredible, and counted to Zhang Chen with his fingers: "Go to work, band rehearsal, Performing, still have time to learn a small language?"

Cheng Sheng's tone of fuss was a little funny. Zhang Chen always thought that a person like Cheng Sheng had seen everything in the world, so how could he be surprised by such a trivial matter.But when he thought about it again, he could be amazed by the drastic change of Cheng Sheng, why couldn't he be amazed by what he had become now.

Zhang Chen picked up the Coke bottle from the table and unscrewed it, poured the Coke for Cheng Sheng with one hand, and patiently talked about his inexplicable experience: "I didn't learn it on purpose, but the female colleague next to my former company liked Korean dramas and had lunch every day." I read a Korean book at dinner time, read Korean once and read Chinese interpretations, and I read it for a whole year. I was next to her and I was fascinated by it, and I had to know it if I couldn’t.”

Cheng Sheng, who was on the opposite side, still sighed after hearing his words: "Why do you know so many things all of a sudden?"

"Suddenly?" Zhang Chen raised his eyes, "It's been a long time. After so many years of learning, I can learn everything, and I can do anything."

Cheng Sheng, who was startled just now, stopped talking, and only after a while did he let out a muffled voice: "Indeed, it's been a long time."

The temperature in the barbecue shop was high, and it burned people after sitting for a long time. Zhang Chen glanced at Cheng Sheng, who was facing a sudden drop in mood, and understood what was going on with him. He deliberately opened up the conversation and asked him: "Aren't you too? I remember At that time, you were still writing financial systems, and within a few years, you have started to study machine learning.”

Cheng Sheng originally only said "hmm", but within a few seconds he suddenly felt something was wrong. After thinking for a while, his eyes suddenly widened, and he raised his head and asked in disbelief, "How do you know? Tinkered with that stuff."

Zhang Chen on the opposite side stood up, picked up another plate of meat and slowly spread it on the baking tray.

Cheng Sheng kept staring at his movements, and waited for him to spread the meat evenly before sitting back to his original position. He stood up suddenly, the muscles on his face were a little tense due to tension, and he vowed: "I see, you searched secretly. Pass my name."

After he finished speaking, he felt that this sentence alone was not enough, so he boldly added another sentence: "You think I'm crazy, search me secretly."

He originally thought that Zhang Chen would ignore his nonsense like before, and didn't intend to wait for a response, but Zhang Chen on the opposite side nodded calmly, without acknowledging himself: "I have searched for the Chinese name and the English name, your father Your mother's name has been searched."

This time, it was Cheng Sheng who closed his mouth, bent his knees, and slowly sat down next to the table.

The barbecue he had just picked up was put back on the plate, the Coke in the cup remained unchanged for a long time, the noisy voices around him couldn’t reach his ears, and the smoke from the grill no longer choked people, so he just sat there in a daze. On the ground, I wanted to say something several times, but I couldn't form a complete sentence anyway, so I had to sit like this, and finally said nothing.

When Zhang Chen heard that there was no movement on the other side, he raised his head and glanced at Cheng Sheng, and suddenly said, "Have you never been in love? Why do you act like you don't understand anything?"

The sound of oil in the baking pan between them was loud, and a burst of fragrance and oily smoke spread around. The strong oily smoke made Cheng Sheng dizzy. Coughing violently at the table.

Cheng Sheng coughed for almost a minute, which made Zhang Chen even a little worried. Just as he was about to ask, he finally regained his composure. He leaned his arms on the table and straightened up. Talked about it? You understand it well?"

Zhang Chen stood up again, leaned over and put a new plate of grilled meat on Cheng Sheng's plate, and when he was close to his face, he lowered his head and glanced at him, and suddenly said: "I haven't talked about it and I don't understand it, this is It's the only time, so it's serious."

After speaking, he sat back and leaned against the back of the chair to wait for Cheng Sheng to express his opinion.

But Cheng Sheng's mouth always loses the chain at critical moments. He has become a habit of chasing after people's buttocks. He was caught off guard by this sudden straight ball. Put on some red.

Cheng Sheng finally had the real feeling that he was in love.

When he realized it, he had already walked to the checkout counter. Cheng Sheng's cola had an alcoholic effect, and he would get drunk after two glasses. He didn't wake up until he walked out of the store.Fortunately, Zhang Chen held him in a natural posture, and no one gave them any strange looks along the way.

It was almost twelve o'clock when the two of them got in the car. Zhang Chen drove Cheng Sheng to the door of his house. When he got off the car, he suddenly remembered something. He got out of the car and said meaningfully: "It's not over yet."

"What's not over yet?"

"Our first day of official love is not over yet."

The light in the car was very dark, and Cheng Sheng stared at Zhang Shen's face in the warm light from the roof looking for flaws, but he always had that expression, and no one could tell what he wanted from his expression.

Cheng Sheng guessed that Zhang Chen must think he was stupid, because after a while Zhang Chen stopped waiting for him to guess and took the initiative to point his finger at his side.

Of course, Cheng Sheng understood the meaning of such an obvious gesture. He slowly approached Zhang Chen, and his lips stayed on his cheek for a while, first rubbing against his skin like a baby, and then sucked lightly where he was pointing in silence of.

It was very quiet inside and outside the car, and even the sounds of bugs in the surrounding area disappeared after the beginning of autumn. Cheng Sheng slowly left Zhang Chen's side face in this silence. He sniffed around his neck twice, and this posture made him suddenly think of some scene, so he talked about the past again: "Do you remember the first night we met? We were lying on the same bed. You were wearing a vest at that time , leaning on the bedside to recite books, you must not know what you looked like at that time, the water on the hair flowed down the neck, flowed to the collarbone and then flowed into the vest. I stood at the door and looked into the bedroom for a long time. Finally, I swallowed my saliva and climbed onto the bed."

Cheng Sheng didn't know what he was talking nonsense, he said as if venting, then he turned sideways and backed away slowly like a normal person, but before he retreated halfway, Zhang Chen held his shoulders, and then his entire upper body was nailed firmly on the car window.

Zhang Shen didn't kiss him, but the two hands that were pressing on his shoulders moved up to fix Cheng Sheng's face.The inside of the car became stuffy, and the temperature rose little by little. Cheng Sheng held his face in Zhang Chen's hands and remained motionless. He felt that Zhang Chen was panting, but it was very light, and only he could hear it.

When he had finally seen enough, Zhang Chen leaned over to Cheng Sheng and kissed him sideways, just as a gift for Cheng Sheng's kiss just now.

Cheng Sheng was in a dizzy state all night. He still remembered that after getting off the car, he did not rush home, but stood at the corridor entrance for a long time.Zhang Chen's car was parked under a huge ginkgo tree on the opposite side. He leaned against the car window to smoke a cigarette. Seeing Cheng Sheng lingering at the door of his house and refusing to go upstairs, he quickly closed the car window, leaving only one shadow behind. The glass to the opposite corridor.But Cheng Sheng still didn't move, holding his briefcase and poking his head in the direction of the car.

After a while, the car window was pushed down again. Zhang Chen lay on the car window and waved to him, his tone full of helplessness, "Go up quickly, we will see you at the company tomorrow."

After saying this, Cheng Sheng, who was holding the bag, suddenly came back to his senses and ran upstairs.After a while, the originally dark window of a certain house upstairs suddenly lit up, and then the mobile phone in the car vibrated a few times, and the lit screen displayed: I'm home! !

Zhang Chen looked up at the most common window for a while, waited for the second cigarette to burn out, then slowly closed the window, turned around and drove to his own recording studio.
