stray

It wasn't until He Nian walked in front of him that Yan Ruizhi came back to his senses.

He looked anxious, but his eyes were still bright and bright, and there was a smile on his mouth.

Yan Ruizhi has seen New Year's smiles many times, the ones that are bad, pretentious, inexperienced, or, like this moment, serious and warm.

"Oh, one more thing," He Nian paused embarrassedly, standing in front of him with the ordinary street scene dyed by the setting sun behind him, and whispered, "Happy Children's Day."

When Hao Shuai left the office with a sigh and finished his work all afternoon, Yan Ruizhi didn't feel how important the word birthday was to him at all, but New Year's greetings just came towards him, so simple and so sincere to him As he spoke, his heart suddenly felt filled little by little.

It's amazing, and it's like stepping on a cloud...it's incredible.

He got closer, so close that Yan Ruizhi could smell the freshness of the sun on him.

He Nian was still panting slightly, Yan Ruizhi raised his eyes to look at him, and said in a disguised way: "Aren't you having a school event today?"

"Yes, our school has a joint activity with the attached primary school," He Nian replied obediently, "That's why we came late."

"Let's go." Yan Ruizhi said lightly.

He actually wanted to touch He Nian's hair a little bit, but now he is in the company building after all

Yan Ruizhi withdrew his gaze with slight and unknown regret.

But before he could take a step, He Nian called him again: "Mr. Yan!"

He stopped, and the other party walked in front of him, with a more serious expression on his face than before, and even a little imperceptible nervousness: "Then... are you going home tonight?"

"Yeah." Yan Ruizhi nodded, thought for a while and said, "Or do you want to eat anything?"

It was rare for He Nian not to answer his question, but to look him in the eyes: "If there are no other arrangements..."

He took a deep breath, pursed his lips and said, "Our school has an event today, and the student union gave me two tickets."

As he spoke, he took out two tickets to a large and popular amusement park in Anjing City from his pocket: "May I invite you to go with me?"

Yan Ruizhi frowned slightly.

That was the favorite place for children, but he was already 26 years old, and it was somewhat out of place to appear on this occasion again.

He shook his head: "No need."

"But I want to go!" He Nian's voice was a little anxious, "This is today's ticket, and I finally got it. If it expires..."

He looked at him hesitantly: "There is no chance."

Yan Ruizhi looked at the ticket in his hand.

It is a very ordinary regular ticket, the time on it is indeed today, and it says that it includes the night show.

It should be rejected, Yan Ruizhi thought rationally, even if he had never been to this kind of place, he would not be interested at all. candidates.

"And I heard that the restaurant inside is not bad." Ai Ai said again and again during the New Year, "Just treat it as if I invited you to dinner on your birthday, and you don't have to play with those things.

Both in and out of the words revealed a meaning that I really want to go today.

Yan Ruizhi heard it a little funny, He Nian didn't wait for him to refuse, he just threw his face on the ground, and began to beg him shamelessly: "President Yan, Teacher Yan, brother, Your Majesty..."

Seeing that he was going to repeat a bunch of strange titles again, Yan Ruizhi was afraid that he would pop out another word like "golden master", so he frowned as if he had no choice but to say, "Shut up. "

He Nian's face was not only thrown to the ground by him, but also stepped on twice, looking pitiful.

"If you say more, I will take a taxi home by myself."

Yan Ruizhi turned his head away without looking at him.

But this was enough for He Nian to understand what he meant, and his voice suddenly rose behind him, and he wanted to call him again: "Yan——"

"To shut up."

He Nian was still very excited, and he kept humming along the way. Yan Ruizhi asked him to stop singing several times, or simply repented and asked him to return home, but it was probably because the road conditions were very good today, and it has been smooth, he thought. Waiting until he saw the pointed castle top in the amusement park, he didn't say anything in the end.

Yan Ruizhi turned his head and found that He Nian was driving very seriously, and he let out a breath when he stopped in the parking lot.

Like excited, like nervous.

It was just a trip to the amusement park, Yan Ruizhi didn't know why He Nian looked like he was facing an enemy, his voice was a little tense, but he was obviously happy.

But compared to this, what surprised him even more was that he thought there would be a lot of people on this kind of festival, but he didn't expect that the parking lot was not full, only a few cars parked sparsely.

The New Year's greetings are not surprising: "Because today is not a weekend and only half a day off, parents of ordinary children will still choose to come on weekends, so that they can play all day."

After he finished speaking, he looked at Yan Ruizhi expectantly, and called him: "Boss Yan."

Yan Ruizhi ignored him and walked out of the parking lot.

He Nian was not angry, and just followed him and talked in a good-tempered manner.

The summer night came very slowly, the two of them checked the tickets and entered the gate, and the sky had just darkened.

"Let's talk about it first. If you want to buy hats and headgear and other small things, you can buy them yourself." In order to prevent the New Year from getting ahead, Yan Ruizhi decided to make three chapters with a cold face, "Don't pull me."

Greeting the New Year, who was about to run to the souvenir shop, froze: "...Oh."

But he soon stopped caring about it. Even though there were not many people in the entire playground, He Nian still held Yan Ruizhi's hand solemnly, as if he was afraid that he would get lost: "Mr. Yan, are you hungry?" Not hungry, do you want to eat first?"

I felt uncomfortable for a moment, but fortunately, there are no children as far as I can see, and there are even more staff than tourists.

Yan Ruizhi didn't break free, and gave him a strange look: "Aren't you going to play these games?"

Don't let his stomach turn upside down after eating.

He Nian said "Oh": "It's okay, I don't like games with 3D, and I don't like jumping machines and roller coasters."

"...Then you want to come to the amusement park to ride the carousel?" Yan Ruizhi felt even weirder, "I didn't expect you to have such a cute side."

He Nian didn't blush, but just asked him, "And you promised me to come, so I must ask you first."

"I'm not hungry." Yan Ruizhi said helplessly.

"Then shall we go play water sports?" He Nian looked at him eagerly.

Yan Ruizhi remained unmoved: "I won't go."

"President Yan."

"Mr. Yan!"

"President Yan—"

It's always a bit weird to be called this in the playground, but the heat from the palm is very real.

"Actually, I'm a little scared." He Nian kept saying, "It's my birthday, can you try it too?"

"Are you afraid that yours has nothing to do with me—"

Yan Ruizhi suddenly felt an itchy palm, and the other party scratched it lightly with his fingers.

After finishing it calmly, He Nian lowered his head again, pretending to be downcast: "If you really don't want to, then I'll go by myself."

After speaking, let go of your hand and walk to the entrance by yourself.

For some reason, Yan Ruizhi inexplicably imagined He Nian drifting alone in the water in the closed ball cabin.

Although this is what he asked to play, but...

The tactile sensation in the palm didn't dissipate, and it continued to penetrate into the chest along the veins.

And He Nian seemed to have grasped the hesitation, and hooked his hand again.

This time he invited without pretentiousness, but Yan Ruizhi didn't refuse.

He didn't expect that the first time in his life to play in an amusement park was with a college student who might have had nothing to do with him.

The staff came over to fasten their seat belts for them. After the inspection, they glanced at He Nian holding Yan Ruizhi's hand, and comforted him with a smile: "Are you afraid, young man? It's okay. There were people who were more afraid than you before. This is not scary." , and will not splash the water."

He Nian thanked him, but his eyes still fell on Yan Ruizhi.

When the cabin door was closed and started slowly, Yan Ruizhi realized how he had really agreed to the New Year's invitation.

The other party's fingers clasped his own tightly, but Yan Ruizhi didn't want to break free, so he turned his head and looked at the things outside the porthole.

The feeling of floating on the water added some playability to the project. The surrounding scenery began to change constantly, and the feeling of weightlessness, floating and novelty came up little by little, and reflected in his eyes.

Gradually, he who originally said he was just playing with the New Year finally began to immerse himself in it. Everything in the amusement park was created to enhance the experience of the players. Even though his body was wrapped in the cabin, his thoughts were already floating in the air.

Switching between virtual and real scenery is like experiencing a belated dream.

Yan Ruizhi didn't react until the scene cut to the end again.

He was a little embarrassed. He didn't expect that he would like such artificially built entertainment facilities, and he didn't expect that he really had some experience when he was talking about playing with him.

With that in mind, he turned his head to look at He Nian, but suddenly bumped into his eyes.

The other party didn't know when he started looking at him, and how long he had been watching him. He obviously said he was terrified to death before he started, but now he didn't show any look of fear at all. He didn't even pretend to be pitiful, and just looked at him.

His black eyes seemed to be filled with emotion, and Yan Rui subconsciously turned his face away in an evasive way.

But fortunately, He Nian quickly returned to his original appearance, but his voice was a little soft: "Mr. Yan."

"You seemed to be smiling just now."

As if being hit by something, Yan Ruizhi's breathing stopped immediately.

Fortunately, the New Year's greetings are only available, waiting for the staff to come and unbuckle them, and yawned: "Where are we going next!"

Yan Ruizhi pursed his lips, wanting to refuse coldly again, but couldn't speak.

There was no one else around them, and the amusement park, which was supposed to be full of people, was surprisingly quiet.

Yan Ruizhi was distracted while walking, and he finally admitted that he didn't completely hate such occasions.

When night finally falls, the park is lit up with colorful and splendid lights, and the castle in the distance becomes more gorgeous, which is the scene that children's book writers like to describe most.

He Nian was still holding his hand, Yan Ruizhi didn't say anything more, just walked quietly with him.

There seemed to be some unknown feelings in his heart. To be honest, he was obviously happier than before he came, but he was carefully hidden somewhere.

So much like a couple.

Yan Ruizhi watched the other party grab his hand and thought quietly.

He heard the other party's voice, and He Nian's movements were natural, as if he didn't know what he had promised at the beginning, "just be a qualified bed partner".

The bed partner doesn't need to be gentle afterwards, the bed partner doesn't need to pick him up to and from get off work, and the bed partner doesn't need to be like this now.

It was also at this time that He Nian looked back and made a decision: "Let's take the pirate ship!"

He smiled and shook the hands they held together: "I liked pirate ships very much when I was a child. At that time, I fantasized that I was a pirate and went to sea to find treasure."

Yan Ruizhi sat with him, side by side, this position just happened to be able to see the dream castle in the distance.

He Nian still seemed very excited, and kept telling stories about finding treasures when he was a child.

Talk about the things he hid in the yard, about the childish times when he fantasized about going out to sea to find treasure.

"If only I could find treasure when I grow up," he said.

so similar.

Like people feel dangerous.

"How can there be so many treasures?" Yan Ruizhi who had been silent all this time suddenly opened his mouth softly.

Yan Ruizhi twitched the corners of his lips very shallowly, but his smile was a bit forced: "People are seeing something they like, it is a niche, few people know it, and it just fits their own aesthetics."

So they put their favorites on it and say, look, this is a treasure I found.

It's just that there are still so many abandoned mines in this world. If anything can be called a treasure, it is different from ordinary glass scrap iron.

There was a sudden silence between the two.

The tacit ambiguity at the beginning seemed to be suddenly broken by this sentence.

The meaning of coming to the amusement park, the phrase happy birthday, the careful flattery, the appropriate lies, and the holding hands pretending to be afraid——

There is nothing to hide in this moment.

bang, bang-

With a few loud bangs, the high night sky was suddenly completely lit up.

Maybe when it's time for the celebration, the other side of the castle becomes lively, and with a sound, tassel-like fireworks burst out from the mountains, turning the whole paradise into a dream scene, like the beginning of a fairy tale movie.

It was an overly perfect night, there were no unnecessary noisy tourists, their equipment was not activated, and the two sat on the pirate ship looking for treasures, looking at the night sky.

"—that's different."

He Nian suddenly spoke.

His voice at this moment is different from before, he looks at Yan Ruizhi without avoiding, his eyes are shining with extremely gorgeous fireworks, but no matter whether they are on or off, there will always be a person inside.

"But I just like you." He Nian said, "You know, you must have known it a long time ago."

"Yan Ruizhi, Mr. Yan," he called his full name for the first time, "but you are my treasure, if you say it a little more bitterly, you are my treasure, I like you very much, I like you very much, I admit today That’s what I came to you to say, and according to the plan, I should wait until the fireworks are over and we’ll talk when we go home, or be more calm and just hint at you more clearly.”

"But I just can't help it. When I look at you, I just want to hold your hand. I want to hold you. The closer the better, I will be sad if you push me away, but it doesn't matter. After that, I still want to be close to you."

Every sentence of He Nian was very straightforward, so strong that he couldn't escape: "I want to kiss you, I want to confess to you, I don't need you to help me, and I won't pursue you in public and embarrass you, But I just want to say it many times, I love you so much."

"I know that I still haven't done well. I don't just want to be your teacher and student, your superior and subordinate, but if, if..."

"If you like me even a little bit—I know you don't like kissing, if you want to," He Nian said nervously, but his eyes were still burning, "Can you hold my hand?"
