Yamaishi

Lin Quan's day began when he heard the clinking of bottles and cans and the not gentle sound of washing.

He and Yu Yetong have been married for 15 years and are already used to this kind of life.

When they first got married, both of them had some hostility and dissatisfaction. Although they would not show it outside, as soon as the door was closed, their fake smiles would droop immediately, and they would turn around and do their own work.

Over time, no matter how big the resentment was, it dissipated.Besides, Lin Quan really didn't know who to blame. He was the one who compromised first, and he was the one who couldn't let go. If he wanted to complain, Lin Quan could only blame the world for the dazzling "Happy Newly Married" in his inbox. impermanence.

When he was married for almost a year, Lin Quan was still not used to sleeping with someone next to him. He could tell that Yu Yetong was doing the same, so he offered to sleep in the guest room by himself.

Of course Yu Yetong was happy, but it was always a bit embarrassing to ask the other owner of the room to carry the quilt to another room, so she simply turned on the light and said, "It's okay, it's okay, don't sleep at all, we two chat."

Lin Quan was taken aback, thinking that Yu Yetong had come to Xingshi to inquire about the crime, but seeing that the girl's expression was still kind, he was a little relieved.

After waiting for a long time, Lin Quan could only hear the sound of the electric current of the fluorescent lamp.And Yu Yetong looked at him hesitantly, frowning, as if he was thinking about something.

Just when Lin Quan thought she would not speak for so long, Yu Yetong suddenly said, "I know who he is."

Lin Quan was in a cold sweat immediately, as if the most secret and unspeakable scar in his heart had been uncovered, obviously he had done nothing wrong, but now he felt as guilty as if he had been caught.

Love cannot be hidden, even if the couple put in a lot of effort to show a decent marriage to outsiders, Lin Quan knows that they don't have each other in their eyes, but through each other's indifferent back, they can see the other side. A past that is buried deep and dare not be brought up.They tacitly never talked about each other's past.

"Has he never contacted you again?" Yu Yetong asked.

Lin Quan heard that there was no malice in his tone, so he shook his head frankly.

"It's strange, he has contacted me." Yu Yetong didn't care how much impact this sentence had on Lin Quan, and said, "I guess, he didn't dare to disturb and couldn't help it, so he sent me a message. After a few seconds, he said he sent the wrong message and apologized to me, but no one answered the call - I think the number is familiar, the American number, it is the one you usually stare at in a daze. "

Lin Quan didn't recover his language function for a while, the shame of being spied on and the guilt of his marriage made him at a loss.

"It's okay, don't be nervous, no one has a secret yet." Seeing his sweaty appearance, Yu Yetong couldn't help laughing, "You have your past, and I have mine. To be honest, it wasn't a good idea for us to get married. It's a glorious thing."

"As for that Yankee——" Yu Yetong said, "I don't mean to pursue your past, but I just see that your state is not right, and I want you to talk about it to make you feel better."

That day Lin Quan cried for a long time, usually he was the one who listened, and he always acted like a big brother to Liu Dong, Shen Zhuoqing or Li Fangqian.

But at this moment, he was crying like a child, talking intermittently.

"He is a genius, a musical genius...he has perfect pitch, he can play guitar, drums, bass, piano, he can write songs and dance, he has written and sung songs for me... Song......"

As Lin Quan said, through the curtain in front of his eyes, he could see the B University a few years ago. Liu Dong was wearing exaggerated ripped jeans, standing in the background, curled up in the dim light.

"He used to love to wear skirts, especially in red. But no one understands him, no one understands him...Have you seen Rent? We compare him to Angel. He will stare when he meets cold eyes Go back...he..."

"But he doesn't wear them anymore..."

Lin Quan sobbed the hardest when he talked about Liu Dong's compromise, and at that time he could no longer embrace his distress.

"After he went to University B, he only showed me his clothes when there was no one in my dormitory...It's so beautiful, really, I've never seen his eyes so bright...I told him He said that one day, one day we'll see the light..."

"I lied to him, I lied to him!" Lin Quan suddenly raised his voice, the ending was trembling and hoarse, "No light, he left, no light...I lied to him... "

Yu Yetong couldn't bear to listen any longer, so he quickly hugged him through the quilt, and patted his shoulder lightly.

"Lin Quan, there are people I can't get. I swore before that I would remember her for the rest of my life, and for two lives, even if I die, I will keep the tattoo she drew for me." Yu Yetong said, "But life still has to be Keep going, look, my tattoos are all faded now."

"It's not the same." Lin Quan shook his head and wiped his face, "Before he left, he said that he would not return to China, and asked me not to wait for him."

"I called him a jerk. I beat him up."

"Our last face ended with beating someone for the first time in my life."

"I really regret...so regret...I should hug him, he is thinking about me, why did I hit him...that was the last time. …”

Lin Quan was still stuck in his memories, and Yu Yetong didn't wait until Lin Quan was tired until he heard it was four o'clock in the morning.

The relationship between the two people also took a turn for the better that year. The two people worked together, and after returning home from get off work together, they could chat about which leader was promoted, which colleague was seconded, and living under the same roof. To fairly close old friends.

Later, the 3G mobile phone became a 5G mobile phone, and Lin Quan also replaced it with a new one, and all the original information was left on the old mobile phone.Before changing his mobile phone, he sent another message to that number, asking him how he is now, and the other party replied him for the first time, saying that everything is fine.

Lin Quan asked again, are you coming back?

He didn't hear back from that number.

He turned off the old mobile phone and put it in the glove box, and never mentioned Liu Dong to Yu Yetong again, nor did he ask Yu Yetong if his tattoo had complementary colors.

The two have always been the couple who "respect each other as guests" in the short conversations among the parents. The only "crime" is that they have no children.

Lin Quan discussed with Yu Yetong whether to adopt or not, but in the end he still felt that he had no idea and was busy with work, so he was not sure whether it was the best choice for the child, so he gave up.

During the holidays, relatives and friends always come to ask, how come you haven’t given birth after so many years, whether you should go to the hospital for a check-up, and whether you should take some folk remedies for supplements.

When they use "DINK" as an excuse, they will inevitably get an education.Lin Quan just listened with a smile, neither refuted nor accepted, and slowly used other topics to practice Tai Chi.

The trivial life is still relatively comfortable. Lin Quan's salary has quadrupled since he became a senior executive, and Yu Yetong has also been seconded to a busier but higher-paying department.

There is no sharpness, no vigor, and no major quarrels. The only possible sparks are the friction between the two when Lin Quan came home late from a social event, or a small quarrel because Yu Yetong's high-heeled shoes and the sound of washing up disturbed him.

The old friends from University B are now going their separate ways, and the only person Lin Quan still keeps in touch with is the monitor of his postgraduate days, and Shen Zhuoqing.

Therefore, Lin Quan was not too surprised when he saw Shen Zhuoqing's WeChat message.When I opened the message and saw a picture, I was stunned for a long time.

That's a poster.

A few groups of seemingly random lines outline the shapes of dancers and bicycles, and the word "Love Letter" hangs directly below, crooked, like a high school student's handwriting.In the screenwriter's column, there is the same handwriting: Shanshi.

Lin Quan felt that something came out of his heart, the bit of energy that he had suppressed for a long time, and was exhausted, was about to move at this moment.But he began to panic again, he didn't know if Shen Zhuoqing could contact the American, he wanted Shen Zhuoqing to contact him, but he didn't dare to let him.

Lin Quan didn't know how he would meet that person as a married person.

I don't even know what would happen if I went with the expectation of seeing him, but was still disappointed in the end.

He long presses the picture, wanting to click delete.But he couldn't do it for a long time, until the screen went dark, Lin Quan unlocked it again, and typed in: [Sorry, Zhuoqing, I have work that day, so I don't have time to go to City N.I wish you a successful show. ]

After a while, Shen Zhuoqing replied: [Boss Lin, please check the location carefully. City B, Dongli.Tickets are all reserved for you, the best viewing angle, it’s too boring not to come, right? ]

Lin Quan's hands trembled violently, and he clicked on the picture again, only to see that it really read:

演出时间：2019年11月15日19：30-22：00

Venue: Oriental Auditorium, X Road, City B (500 meters north of X Metro Station)

Lin Quan said: [...B University is too far away from my home.I have the car keys here. Yu Yetong has to work overtime at night, so I have to pick her up. ]

[Don't think I don't know, the auditorium is only 5 minutes away from your two units.You ask her to come to the auditorium to find you after work, or I ask Lao Sun to take her back. ]

Shen Zhuoqing added: [Don't worry, I didn't get in touch with that one, only Ryan sent the advertisement for me.He has come and gone without a trace all these years, the devil knows where he is. ]

Lin Quan said: [...I didn't mean that.Come on, listen to you.When the show is over at ten o'clock, I'll let her find me.I really have to see you and Fang Qian, I haven't seen you for many years. ]

The auditorium has been refurbished and doubled in size. The backstage is no longer covered with a curtain, but a spacious empty room has been built for makeup and waiting.

There was a thin layer of sweat on the palms of Lin Quan's hands.

He remembered that he once discussed the matter of "heartbeat" with Shen Zhuoqing.And he thought that his heartbeat had been slowly and steadily in the frogs boiled in warm water for so many years, but when he saw the curtain opened, he obviously felt his heartbeat speed up - the scenery was familiar, and the makeup was familiar , He can even recite a line or two.

And he thought he had already forgotten.

He would follow the actors on the stage and gently lip-synthesize, and then he was surprised that the imprint of the past could really be so deep.

The actor who played the gigolo on stage was young, tall and thin. He didn't have Liu Dong's stubbornness when dancing, but his gestures were a little more flamboyant.

Lin Quan started to lose his mind as he watched, thinking, if this play was staged 17 years ago, what kind of ending would it be.

Just like a montage, Lin Quan can pull out a long movie clip in his mind through this stage, and the background music is the love song in the play, which belongs to their slow rock.

——He would stand under the light and exchanged a bold and hot kiss with Liu Dong on the stage.The audience was very excited and gestured love or rock gestures to them.During the encore, someone would whistle at them for another kiss.

——He would be shy and embarrassed, but Liu Dong would quickly change into his skirt and high heels, step on the floor with a thud, and kiss him again amidst the din of people.A hot thread on the forum will write that the drag queen has succeeded in chasing love.

——He would watch Liu Dong lead the band from the ground to the ground.And he, on a certain night when he doesn't have to work overtime, such as today, goes to the music bar opened by Liu Dong to listen to him sing, or interlocks with Liu Dong, watching a drama that Shen Zhuoqing specially came to B City for tour.

——When the song ends or the curtain falls, he will kiss the people around him while the lingering sound is still in the air.Tell him it's been bright all along, and get a playful, even hotter kiss back. *

When the background music stops, these clips also stop abruptly.Lin Quan suddenly fell into a huge sense of emptiness.

The smile on the corner of his mouth hadn't gone down yet, and he was caught off guard when he saw strange faces lined up on the stage, bowing to him and smiling at him.The response from the audience was really enthusiastic, they were all applauding and screaming, but he was the only one who was stunned, not getting out of his too good dream.

When ten o'clock approached, the actors left the stage one after another, and there were not many audiences left.Shen Zhuoqing and the others went backstage to take a photo with the actors, Lin Quan continued to sit and wait, humming a slow tune.

The auditorium slowly fell silent, and Lin Quan stopped making any sound.And the occasional laughter from the backstage made it even quieter here.

For some reason, Lin Quan felt a little cold, so he wrapped his clothes tightly, but his body was still shaking.

Only then did he realize that it was not because of the temperature, but because he was trembling unconsciously, nervous for no reason, and even had goosebumps on his arms.

Lin Quan stood up instinctively, looked around, confirmed that there was nothing unusual, and then sat down with confidence.

thump—

thump—

There was the sound of high heels outside the door.Very hasty, heavy steps.

Lin Quan turned his head abruptly.

The lights in the house can't take care of the night outside.

Under the dim light, Lin Quan saw a figure in a short skirt and hurriedly opened the door.
