Gaya Street

Chapter 9 09. Fireflies

Lin Jing was unhappy again.Out of the room full of friends, only Wu You noticed this.

He didn't eat a few mouthfuls of dinner, and he didn't have any expression on his face when he left. The others were not surprised, anyway, he always had no expression.

But Wu You still felt it, probably when he came out of the dirty and crowded carriage, he had a sign of depression, and he didn't seem to enjoy playing in the mountains in the afternoon, he was just performing the movements of playing in coordination.When it was time for dinner, he didn't say a few words at all, as if separating himself with a transparent wall, and he was unwilling to give alms even if he agreed.

The rest of the people were still chatting and laughing, and even drank beer to get addicted to adults. Seeing that Lin Jing left the restaurant without saying anything, he didn't take it seriously: "Don't worry about him, I won't run to Just go up the mountain."

Here are a few rural huts in the suburbs, which have been perfunctorily remodeled and called "Shanba", but they are actually just farm houses with newer facilities.You can enter the mountain along the steps behind the house. The fence is short, and standing there can barely warn, without any other protection and isolation.

Although he didn't think Lin Jing would really slip into the mountains, Wu You still cared.He went upstairs to the room of the two of them and found nothing as expected, so he guessed that Lin Jing had gone to the balcony.Wu You planned to look for him, but when he thought that the place was too shabby and not even equipped with lighting, Wu You went back to the room and brought a small emergency flashlight with him.

The stairs leading from the back door to the terrace are very narrow. The dark metal steps are almost hidden in the night, as thin as iron sheets. Wu You can feel the tremor when stepping on them, and the muscles on his legs tremble slightly.Wu You was afraid of the dark, so he held on to the railing next to him with one hand, and held the flashlight in the other. The beam of light was projected on the ground, only enclosing a small piece of light, just enough for Wu You to see clearly the trembling appearance of the metal staircase.

"Lin Jing, are you there?" His voice was as low as breath, and he realized that there was no need to be so careful after he uttered it, so he became louder, as if to embolden himself, "Lin Jing, are you here?"

The light swept across the terrace. Before Lin Jing could respond, Wu You saw him sitting on a seat near the edge of the terrace. Hearing the sound of footsteps, he looked back at the person who came up. His eyes were surprised at first, and he saw clearly that it was Wu You. Afterwards, Lin Jing put on an expression of peace of mind.

"Why are you here?" He patted the seat beside him, motioning for Wu You to sit over.

When Wu You finally got rid of the dangerous stairs and stepped onto the wooden surface of the balcony, he finally let go of his heart and let out a long breath.He didn't seem to notice Lin Jing's slightly depressed expression, but he ran up to him and sat down next to him.The flashlight was placed on the table and rolled along the table. The light shone on the mountain and was swallowed by the thick night. The terrace became dark again, leaving only the colorful lights on the railings, dotted with faint light.

"You're not here, of course I want to come to you."

He replied indifferently, as if this was a perfectly normal thing, even if this explanation was superfluous, even Lin Jing felt that he might have known that Wu You would come to him. "Are you unhappy?" Wu You asked. He put his hands on the table and leaned close to Lin Jing. He didn't know what he was happy for. His eyes were bent, and the light of the lantern fell on his eyes. , like stars.

Lin Jing wanted to say no, he usually hides it like this, but looking at Wu You who left delicious food and games to find himself in the dark, it was rare for him to want to be real again, try to express his sadness, can he get Wu You in exchange for more companionship and comfort.

"A little bit," Lin Jing paused to think of words, he didn't dare to look at Wu You, so he turned his face away and looked at the black mountain in the distance.

Wu You didn't give him a chance to evade, seeing Lin Jing turn his head, he moved closer, cupping his face in both hands, the tip of his nose was almost touching Lin Jing's profile, "Tell me, just tell me."

How should I say it, where do I start, did I find out that I fell in love with you more than a year ago, or should I say that I was told to go abroad to study in university almost at the same time, if you want to hear a story about a secret love, you should still listen The fact that I'm about to leave you?

Lin Jing thought for a while, he wanted to say a lot, but everything was heavy and fragile, and many things would shatter like glass falling to the ground, such as the intimacy at this time, such as growing up together promise.

"I'm about to graduate, I don't want to miss my classmates," Lin Jing thought for a long time, and felt that such a statement could never be wrong, but he didn't believe it himself, so he paused, trying to say it accurately, but not so accurately ,"I dont want you to go."

Such words are too common in the graduation season. Although Lin Jing said it for the first time, he has heard it too many times in the past few months. He can even guess Wu You's answer, and he will smile Noisy, while talking about more gatherings in the future.

But at this moment he didn't hear such a reply, Wu You didn't speak, and the silence lasted for a long time, so long that Lin Jing couldn't help turning his head back to look at him.He still held his face with his hands, but there was no smile on his face, his eyes were still shining, but it seemed that there was something more than the light just now.

"I also miss you." Wu You blinked and said slowly.

Lin Jing froze for a moment, her heart was already sore, now it was as uncomfortable as being grabbed.The summer night breeze should have been pleasant, but with Wu You's words falling on his ears, it became bleak and cruel.Lin Jing really wanted to hug him at that moment, but just as she was about to stretch out her hand, she felt that this was an intimacy beyond friendship, so she held back, just raised her hand, and patted Wu You's head.

His sadness also seemed to be just a blink of an eye, and after a while, Wu You became the usual happy and heartless him again, "It's okay, when you go back to Beijing for vacation, or I will go to you by plane, We can still be together." His tone relaxed, as if he was just planning a trip in the future.

But what else, this level of friendship with a friend who is about to travel is very touching.

Ever since he discovered that he liked Wu You more than friendship, Lin Jing always imagined that he could also receive the same affection for him, and even thought that he should also like him, but he didn't know it.At the moment Lin Jing suddenly woke up, why did he like him? Now Wu You just lost a friend, for him it would only be a slight, occasional pain, not even a pain.Wu You should be as carefree as his name, and he should not overdraw his sorrow on himself.

He will have a very normal and smooth future, he will hold a girl's hand for the first time, he will fall in love with her passionately, and he will have a happy life with others.That person will never be me.

Lin Jing realizes again that he is about to lose Wu You, and will wish him love and life as an old classmate.It won't be long, he's so cute, and maybe we'll see a new, real intimacy with someone right away.

Thinking of this made my heart ache again.

"Look, Lin Jing," he rarely responded to Wu You's words. From the corner of his eye, he saw him holding a flashlight and pressing the switch mischievously. The light flickered on and off. I don't know what Wu You thought of. Joke, "It is said that when sailors go to sea, they will use flashlights to signal like this."

Seeing that Lin Jing ignored him, Wu You tried other tricks to make Lin Jing happy, "Look, does it look like a star?"

Lin Jing nodded perfunctorily, he didn't watch Wu You's one-man show at all.

"Wow Lin Jing Lin Jing, it's a firefly!"

Lin Jing was disturbed by him so much that he wanted to laugh, whether he had eyesight or not, knowing that people are unhappy, he insisted on annoying people with these clumsy jokes.He sighed, and turned to look at Wu You helplessly. He didn't expect that Wu You's palms were clenched, and light actually came out from between his fingers.

"I'm only showing it to you alone, be careful, they will be scared away," he said slowly opening his palm, hiding the flashlight inside, he controlled the switch, the light flickered, it was hard to be confused with "fireflies" , will be exposed very easily, "Look, is it a firefly?"

Lin Jing really laughed out this time, Wu You thought he was really amused by his joke, so he was finally satisfied and started talking to himself.

He didn't know that Lin Jing didn't want to thank him for his consolation, Lin Jing even wanted to blame Wu You for doing these touching and stupid things when they were about to part, which made Lin Jing have one more memory about him.

The night in the mountains is very quiet. After turning off the lights, the darkness seems to be deeper and purer than in the city. Wu You lay on the bed, muttering in a low voice that it was too dark and too quiet. Just listen to him complain.After a while, Wu You really approached on tiptoe again, laying on his own bed and crawling into Lin Jing's bed, just like Lin Jing did every night when he stayed at Wu You's house.

Lin Jing was still sad, thinking that the perpetrator was so out of the way at this time, Lin Jing was even more annoyed, so she turned her back and pretended to sleep.

"Are you asleep?"

Lin Jing didn't speak.

"I'm not sleepy. Shall we play a game?" He thought for a while, then continued, "Shall we play the name guessing game?"

This is a boring game invented by Wu You. One person asks questions about the characters, and the other person can only answer yes or no, and finally guess the answer.Every time I stayed at Wu You's house, I could play this game for many rounds, until Wu You's mother knocked on the door and urged the two children to go to bed quickly.

How could Lin Jing be in such a mood, he buried his face in the pillow again, probably wanting to use this action to prove to Wu You that he was really asleep.

"Lin Jing, are you asleep?" Wu You asked again, this time in a much softer voice.

Lin Jing was still quiet, and after a while, he heard Wu You sighed shallowly, as if he was finally convinced that he had fallen asleep.Even so, Wu You was still lying beside him, his breath fell on the back of Lin Jing's neck, itching, if this continues, Lin Jing's trick of pretending to sleep will always be seen through.

He could feel the boredom of the insomniac Wu You, touching his hair for a while, tugging at the corner of his clothes for a while, and finally writing and drawing on his back with his fingers.

How could it be possible to fall asleep like this, every touch seemed to land on Lin Jing's heart and lure him.

Wu You wrote slowly, swaying and cursing, and then repeated it again. Lin Jing felt Wu You's handwriting before realizing that he actually wrote his own name.Then the finger landed on the position under the butterfly bone on the right, saying "Wu You", saying "Wu You".

Lin Jing didn't know what Wu You was thinking, but he was a little scared and a little bit looking forward.

Wu You's handwriting didn't stop, and finally he drew another stroke between the two names.Lin Jing couldn't fully feel it, it might be a circle, but it seemed to be sunken in the middle, like a heart shape.Before he had time to figure out what the symbol was, the person who wrote the pen rubbed his hand on Lin Jing's back in a panic, as if after a clerical error, he wanted to erase the traces of the error.

Lin Jing didn't know what he was doing, but suddenly felt content, at least Wu You didn't erase his name too.

He didn't fall asleep for a long time, until the naughty ghost behind him finally fell asleep with sleepiness, a few soft muffled moans came from his nasal cavity.Only then did Lin Jing have the courage to turn around and look at Wu You. The moon rose, but it was not as dark as it was when it first fell into the night. Maybe his eyes were used to the darkness. Lin Jing looked at Wu You, and even his eyelashes were clearly visible.

The eyelashes trembled, and reminded Lin Jing of the vivid eyelashes when he opened his eyes, his eyebrows and nose were also beautiful, when did this noisy person turn into this charming look, no matter how he looked at it, he liked it , how do not want to forget.Lin Jing knew that this infatuation didn't start from this moment, but from that no-nonsense afternoon the year before, or even earlier, it was ready to move, and gradually became a homework to be constantly reviewed, an inextricable knot.

He stretched out his hand and couldn't help imitating the way Wu You just painted on his back. He used his fingers to slide along his brow bone, bridge of nose, chin and Adam's apple. He couldn't go any further. Lin Jing heard a voice warning Own.

Wu You moved slightly because of Lin Jing's harassment, and there was no sign of waking up. He just turned around and turned his back to Lin Jing.This made Lin Jing breathe a sigh of relief. He was afraid that Wu You would wake up, but he also hoped that he would wake up and find excuses for his other impulses.

He hugged Wu You from behind, very lightly, with his arms around Wu You's waist, he didn't dare to use force.Wu You's proud new hairstyle is messy, so close, you can even smell the smell of potion when styling it.Then I thought of the way he twirled his fingers around his hair during the day and boasted as he rolled his eyes, and thought of the beautiful eyes and lips like a doll, which made people want to kiss.

Not caring about waking him up, Lin Jing tightened his arms.His lips fell on Wu You's shoulder, kissing his shoulder through the clothes.Wu You, I like you so much, Lin Jing said again, again in his heart, telling himself.
