Seventy two hundred

"Dad, we're here."

After Xu Tang pressed 601#, he yelled feebly at the small screen on the video access control.

The door of the unit opened, and the light on the screen went out. Guan Ming behind him pinched the soft flesh around his waist: "Are you tired?"

"Hiss—" Xu Tang twitched the corner of his mouth, and quickly knocked off Guan Ming's dishonest hand: "It's not because of you, little bastard!"

Xu Tang glared at Guan Ming, pretending to be angry but his eyes were full of doting.

Guan Ming didn't make a sound, leaned over to touch Xu Tang's side face, and pressed a kiss on his forehead.

The elevator reached the 6th floor, and as soon as the door opened, Xu Tang heard his mother's passionate call: "My son is back!"

The old lady turned her head and saw a tall and big Guan Ming following Xu Tang, her eyes lit up instantly: "Hey! Where can I bring us such a handsome guy?! Hurry up, don't stand at the door Come on, come in!"

Carrying two boxes of skin care products and a box of fruit, Guan Ming bowed slightly to Xu's parents and Xu's mother: "Hi, Uncle and Aunt, I'm Guan Ming."

"Hey, good, good," Xu's mother smiled happily, and patted Guan Ming's back with a wave of her hand: "Xiao Guan looks really energetic!"

Xu Tang coughed lightly, trying to gain some attention for himself.

Xu's mother, as if she didn't hear her son, turned her face and gave Xu's father a look. Xu's father immediately took the presents from Guan Ming's hand.

"This kid, come and bring anything!"

Xu Tang was finally able to relieve a little of the burden, after all, there were two people in the family who were more knowledgeable than him.

Xu's mother and Xu's father set up a large table, with six dishes and one soup, both meat and vegetables, with all kinds of color, fragrance and taste.

The old couple went to Europe last month and left their son for a leisurely tour. Xu Tang, who hadn't seen his parents last time when he came back, finally tasted like home this time.

"Eat, Xiaoguan, don't be polite, just feel like you're at your own home!"

"Try the ribs I made, how is it delicious?"

"Your uncle just went to the market to buy this fish this morning. It's very fresh!"

Xu's mother kept adding food to Guan Ming, while Xu Tang was giggling beside him.

"Xiaoguan, can I have a drink?"

Father Xu took out the Moutai that he had treasured for 14 years, and poured a glass of wine for Xu Tang and Guan Ming respectively.

Like a real family of four, 26-year-old Guan Ming had a reunion dinner for the first time.

Satisfied with wine and food, Xu Tang said that he would take Guan Ming downstairs for a walk.

Walking along the sidewalk beside the North Third Ring Road, the two of them walked to the gate of the Film Academy before they knew it.

Standing at No. 4 Xitucheng Road, Xu Tang looked at the big gold letters on the door, and asked with a smile, "Brother Ming hasn't been back for a few years?"

Guan Ming turned his head and took a deep look at Xu Tang: "Four or five years, what about you?"

Xu Tang's eyes flickered: "I haven't been back for more than five years, the last time was..."

He scratched his forehead and remembered that it was five years ago. Under the guidance of his master, he made the first documentary film that won an international award. He was invited by his alma mater to give a speech. One stop, talking to everyone in the audience.

It was approaching 01:30, and it was almost time for the first class in the afternoon. There were students coming in and out, surrounded by the bustle and noise of people coming and going.

Guan Ming took Xu Tang's hand and followed the crowd into the school gate, hiding his smile in his words: "Is this the first time I saw you?"

The leaves are turning yellow, but the autumn wind is not bleak. The afternoon sun is like a warm lamp, reflecting directly on their faces and bodies.

Xu Tang stared at Guan Ming's eyes, was stunned for a second, and then came back to his senses: "Oh yes! That time!"

He remembered some broken fragments, and suddenly became a little excited: "I came back to give a speech with my master, and you said that you were sitting in the audience, and you saw me in the backstage and in the men's room!"

Xu Tang's voice was a little high, which attracted the attention of several passers-by. He touched his nose in a concealed manner, and slightly lowered his head in embarrassment.

Guan Ming held Xu Tang's hand tightly, as if he couldn't see the attention from all directions, his heart was clear and bright, and he was moist with happiness: "Then let's go to the screening room to have a look."

As they walked, their eyes swept over the changes in the campus over the past five years.

In Xu Tang's eyes, this place was heaven when he was in school.

It is free, artistic, and horse-grabbing.

Stay hungry, stay critical, stay alert.

No need to struggle to breathe, no need to follow the rules, all ignorance and cumbersomeness can be broken, and the most primitive aesthetics and concepts can be returned in the next second.

They walked hand in hand through a classroom where an old movie, Nanook of the North, was playing on a projection screen on a podium.

Xu Tang leaned against Guan Ming, leaned on his shoulder and whispered, "After so many years, I still play these movies in class."

Guan Ming smiled and pinched Xu Tang's profile.

On the screen stands the protagonist Nanook, the bravest hunter in the Hudson Bay Eskimo village. He is taking his family in a canoe, which can hold everyone in a small boat, and is heading towards the glacier without hesitation.

They passed the sculpture of a girl on the lawn on the south side of Building A. Xu Tang asked Guan Ming to stand next to the girl, and quickly took out his phone to snap a picture. He looked at the photo and smiled silly.

The long-haired girl sat quietly on the brown stone. She raised her face and looked at the sky, as if she was looking up at a dream of the future.

Xu Tang recalled that on the first day of school, there was a big banner on the campus, which read blatantly - "Beijing Film Academy, the place where dreams begin".

The campus is actually not that big, but it is lively enough.

The location is good, but it can't bind one person for four years.

The school itself seems to have no sense of existence, anyone can enter and exit freely, and leaving and returning are silent.

There is not much art festival here, because it is every day.

There is no sports meeting here, because it can't be held.

But here is the cradle of countless film talents, and it is the place where everyone's dream may start or end.

A small garden, carrying countless people's love and pursuit of film and television.

They finally reached the door of the standard screening hall, but unfortunately, the door was closed.

They looked at each other and smiled, one shook his head and the other sighed.

Xu Tang poked Guan Ming with his elbow, "Hey, what time is it?"

He watched Guan Ming press the phone, and a person appeared on the screen—himself standing on a mountainside in Yunhai Town, Sichuan.

Nearby are rocks and weeds, and in the distance are clear blue sky and tumbling sea of ​​clouds, with layers of mountains spreading under the clouds.

"Fuck you pervert!" Xu Tang exclaimed softly, but couldn't hide the smile in his eyes, even blushed, and poked at Guan Ming's cell phone: "How dare you use my photo as a screensaver!"

Xu Tang raised his neck and bit Guan Ming's ear: "Be honest, when did you start thinking about me?"

In the distance, voices came from behind them.

Xu Tang took Guan Ming by his hand, left the gate of the auditorium with some regrets, and walked slowly along the corridor.

The bathroom where they met for the third time that year was right in front of them. Guan Ming put his arms around Xu Tang's shoulders and motioned him to stop.

Guan Ming pinched Xu Tang's fingertips to his lips, and kissed them very tenderly, his eyes filled with love: "It might have started from here."

"Listening to your speech in the audience, you were a bit pretentious at that time, but you were very handsome."

He flicked the broken hair by Xu Tang's ear, which made Xu Tang itchy, and continued to confess: "I saw you again after passing the backstage, it's a good thing you rejected that little boy's confession, otherwise I would think your vision is too low .”

Xu Tang gave Guan Ming a deadly look, but he couldn't kill the smile on his face.

Guan Ming's smile was very warm, like wrapping Xu Tang in a cashmere sweater. The sunlight fell on their hair through the window, and Xu Tang's heart melted and melted again, becoming fluffy and soft.

Guan Ming pointed to the small door frame next to him: "In this bathroom, you spoke to me for the first time."

He wanted to laugh and held back, but Xu Tang didn't hold back: "Yes, yes, you praise me for being handsome first, and then I praise you for being handsome!"

Xu Tang laughed angrily: "You are also very handsome, really, very handsome! Come on, handsome Guan Ming!"

It seemed that someone was unlocking the door lock of the theater, and someone was laughing and joking. The movement was a bit loud, causing Xu Tang to keep turning his head and glance around.

Guan Ming pulled Xu Tang past him, held him in his arms, leaned over and kissed him.

"I love you, Xu Tang."

Guan Ming confessed in a low voice, repeating it over and over again.

With a creak, the door opened wide, three or two students walked in, and flicked on the overhead light in the projection hall.

In the corridor outside, there were two men with a five-year age difference who reunited after five years were hugging each other.

Acting like no one else, romantic and sweet.

"I love you too, Guan Ming."

After Xu Tang was affectionate, he turned into a mischievous child again. He took Guan Ming's arm and dragged him back.

"Go inside and have a look?"

"it is good."

Go and see where their dreams began, where their love began.
