Heart fire

In fact, Zhou Tong didn't watch it seriously at all. He was restless, and he couldn't figure out who the person next to him was and what he said to Xi Yang. He didn't watch it until the lights came on at the end of the performance and the person got up to say goodbye to Xi Yang. Qing is a twilight beauty with silver hair and high beams, at least in her 50s, but her figure is still as graceful as those girls on the stage. She wears a smoky gray turtleneck sweater with a little powder and daisy on it, exuding her beauty from the inside out. Elegant temperament.

He heard her say to Xi Yang: "Yang Yang, take care, remember to go back to the group to see the teachers and classmates when you have time."

At nine o'clock in the evening, the darkening night is like a gorgeous velvet satin, wrapped in dense rain clouds.There is a musical fountain on the square outside the theater. It is guessed that it has been out of use since autumn, but at this time there are still many children holding branches squatting on the ground to poke those circular water holes, wondering what will happen to them tonight? Does not spray water.

Xi Yang and Zhou Tong walked out of the theater with the crowd, and stopped to look at each other under a warm yellow street lamp. Xi Yang asked, "Are you tired?"

Zhou Tong shook his head, stretched out his hand to catch a falling drop of rainwater, rubbed it on his palm, and said to Xi Yang, "Can I go back later? I want... to stay with you for a while."

Xi Yang looked up at the sky, thought for a moment, pointed to the bench next to the fountain and asked him, "Then, where do you go to sit?"

"it is good."

The bench was not dirty, but Zhou Tong wiped it carefully with a paper towel before letting Xi Yang sit down.Before the heavy rain was approaching, the air was damp, and there were constant sounds of children chasing and playing in their ears. Xi Yang asked Zhou Tong while arranging the rose that was quietly blooming on his chest: " Are you hungry without dinner?"

"Hungry." Zhou Tong rubbed his stomach solemnly. "Super hungry, because someone stole ice cream and didn't call me."

Xi Yang's face turned red: "At that time...you were cutting your hair, I was afraid it would be inconvenient...I'll go buy one for you now, wait for me..."

"I'm kidding you." Zhou Tong couldn't hold back his laughter. He glanced at the convenience store with a bright sign not far away, and held down Xi Yang who was about to get up. "I'm going to buy it, you wait for me here, come back soon."

He did what he said, and it took less than 3 minutes to go back and forth with two long legs.

"This is..." Xi Yang looked at the things he bought with a surprised expression. "Candied haws?"

"Hmm! It's too late, it's not good to eat ice cream on an empty stomach." Zhou Tong peeled off the package, and handed Xi Yang a bunch of plump red crabapple fruit wrapped in syrup. "Are you afraid of sourness? The crabapple fruit in this season is very sweet, you should eat it first."

His eyes shone like pure stars, and his sincerity was irresistible.Xi Yang took a bite of the candied haws and found that it was really cloyingly sweet.

"Why don't you buy one more?"

Zhou Tong turned around, put his arms behind Xi Yang, quietly surrounded him, and looked at his bright fruit-like lips with satisfaction and greed.

"I don't want it, yours is delicious."

Childish...Xi Yang smiled, turned sideways to face him, and brought the half-bitten candied haws to his mouth: "Here."

A sweet and rich aroma rushed into the nostrils, immediately making people salivate, but Zhou Tong didn't look at it or bite it, just stared at Xi Yang's eyes and said, "I don't want candied haws."

"Then what do you want?" Xi Yang couldn't resist the tempting aroma, and took another bite out of the candied haws.

But at this moment, he heard Zhou Tong say to him: "I want to kiss you."

Yes, he said that, his eyes slowly slid over every inch of soft and delicate skin on Xi Yang's face, stayed for a moment on the lips stained with sugar, and then returned to those moist and affectionate eyes, locked them firmly, Don't give them any chance to escape.

He repeated softly, presumptuously, gently and forcefully: "I want to kiss you."

"Wow, the water is coming!" A few children who were caught off guard and their clothes were sprayed wet screamed and ran away. The blankness in Xi Yang's mind was broken by the sound of music and water that came instantly. He pushed away Zhou Tong, who was already close in front of him, and stood up in a panic.

"It's raining...I'm going to buy an umbrella..."

After speaking, he fled in despair.Zhou Tong was dumbfounded, and realized that he got up to chase, but when he turned around, he saw two people standing behind him, and one of them was looking at him suspiciously.

Zhou Tong was taken aback: "Sister? Why are you here..."

Yu Di shared an umbrella with a tall girl with short hair. She looked at the bags piled up on the bench, at the back of Xi Yang running away, and at Zhou Tong: "I'm watching a play."

"Hey! Don't ask!" She suddenly said to Zhou Tong, who was about to say a few perfunctory words: "I will keep these things for you first, and send them to the team for you tomorrow? The special service team in the port area, right?" ?

After finishing speaking, she stomped her feet anxiously: "Why are you in a daze! Go after him!"

Zhou Tong: "..."

"You and I......"

"Don't ask me how I know." Yu Di didn't see Zhou Tong for a long time, and saw that he had changed significantly from head to toe, and his face was dazed like deja vu, and his frowning brows relaxed. "You, everything is written on your face."

"I've never seen your expression like that just now, not even to me, it's so irritating!"

"I like it, don't you? Hurry up and chase it, be brave!" She took another girl's arm and urged again: "Hurry up, wait for your good news!"

...

The rain was getting heavier and heavier, and the convenience store was on the other side of the theater. Xi Yang ran in the wrong direction, his clothes were soaked when he was caught up, and he hid under the eaves of a bookstore together with the delicate rose. Blowing shiveringly.

Almost, almost, he recalled just now, after hearing Zhou Tong's words, he fell into it like a demon, his heart was beating wildly, and he couldn't breathe.He was in a state of chaos, he asked himself repeatedly, obviously he came to accompany him for the last time with the feeling that he was about to part, and wanted to leave a little precious memory for himself, so that he could say goodbye to him gracefully, but he never thought that things would develop like this Uncontrollable.He can't, how can he?

But don't let him think too much, Zhou Tong has already chased him.

"Teacher!"

Zhou Tong stepped across the muddy flowerbed and got in, walked quickly in front of Xi Yang, knelt down on one knee, grabbed his hand and his face, and looked back and forth carefully.

"Are you okay? Is it cold? Your hands are so cold!"

It took Xi Yang a while to raise his head and look at him absent-mindedly, seeing the water stains slid down his face, soaking his eyebrows and eyes, so thick and so black, exuding the aroma of rain and soil, green grass and fallen leaves, so fascinating .

"Zhou Tong..." He muttered to himself with trembling lips. "Tongtong...we...can't do this...you just..."

"I'm just moved." Zhou Tong would never be fooled by him again, and interrupted him without hesitation.

"You're right, the heartbeat develops quickly and shallowly, impulsively, and unstable, while love needs time to deepen slowly, trust each other, communicate with each other, and only mature after getting acquainted with each other."

He paused for a moment and continued: "But do you know that love is also a risk that must be taken in life, it is a kind of belief, it is a desperate behavior, it will drive you to take a step forward as an instinct, to have an intimate relationship with others, Giving up the ego, giving the ego, surrendering to the other.”

Xi Yang never thought that he would say such a thing, and couldn't help but said: "Tongtong, I know you are a smart and sensible boy, you have a bright future and a bright future, you have to be more rational... ...."

"Do not."

Zhou Tong once again stopped his baseless rhetoric.

"Everyone wants things to be under their own control, to be rational, to be protected by reason, and to think that reason is restraint, but how many people really understand what reason is?"

"You are the most powerful person in my mind who knows everything and will always be. But this time I will tell you." Zhou Tong suddenly laughed. "Sensibility is to let go, let go of yourself, let yourself do what you want to do with the person you like, which is crazy, but it turns out that madness and reason have always coexisted."

"No one, no philosophy, can infallibly protect us from harm, not even God. But I'm not afraid, I'm ready, and I know you're not afraid either."

"Don't cry, my heart will break if you cry." Zhou Tong carefully wiped away the tears welling up in the corners of Xi Yang's eyes, and gently held the back of his head, pressing against his forehead.

"Since I was a child, I have been a rational person, who likes to learn, likes to think, and pursues science and truth. I gave myself time, searched through books and all the truths in the world, and searched for and interpreted things that can convince you and myself. Answer."

"But the moment I looked at you, I realized that everything is not important or complicated."

He maintained the posture of kneeling on one knee, piously and solemnly like a knight ready to dedicate and surrender.

"Because you are the only answer."

The weather forecast had warned that there would be rain tonight, but they didn't tell that the rain would be so heavy, so crazy, and so violent that there was nowhere to hide, and there was no way to avoid it.Xi Yang's helpless sobs were submerged by the noise of the rain, Zhou Tong raised his chin, hugged him, protected him, held his hands tightly, and smiled at him calmly and gently: "Instructor, your head Lower it down, cover it with a handkerchief and bring roses, and you can sit in a sedan chair and be a bride."

After laughing, he suddenly turned serious, and called again seriously: "Instructor."

He is only 19 years old, how can he be so affectionate, so calm, so determined?

So this time, Xi Yang finally mustered up the courage to look up at those eyes that shone so brightly in the rainy night.

"Teacher."

"Um……"

"Yang Yang."

"Um......"

After getting a little response, Zhou Tong was so happy that he was about to fly.

"I'm going to kiss you."

……

"Ah."
