25 hour

In the afternoon, Shen Teng arrived at the campsite alone.

In fact, Shen Teng had planned this trip for a long time (at least a week), but the opportunity came purely from a whim in his midnight, so he was not well prepared, until he found many people on the side of the fast-flowing river because they could not go smoothly. Passing through the conventional off-road vehicles that were forced to stay in place, Shen Teng realized what the specific situation that "if the vehicle has any failure due to crossing the river, it needs to be repaired at its own expense" that he saw on the car rental contract in the early morning was referring to.

There are rescuers and tow trucks in eye-catching costumes on the side of the bank. When Shen Toma just arrived, the other party glanced at the Toyota he rented, and said in a calm tone that this car has a high probability of passing smoothly, but the suggestion is that it is best not to.

So the decision to choose was thrown back into the hands of Shen Teng.

Probability, probability, how come there are so many probabilities in life.

Shen Tom wanted to ask Qin Zheng for advice, but unfortunately, the battery of his mobile phone was completely exhausted during the long journey. At this moment, just like in Quebec, Shen Tom was facing the probability alone again.

The last time he was in the hospital, Shen Teng put aside the bad and worse odds given to him by the doctor, and turned to another even more unreliable choice.

But this time, in the strange natural environment of Iceland, Shen Teng took a deep breath, and finally chose to park the car where it was.

Has he become more cowardly?

Shen Teng couldn't say it, but compared to the excitement when he first set off, when he suddenly lost contact with Qin Zheng, the emptiness that suddenly emerged in his heart was like another ferocious sprout. Then it grew into a towering tree, unsteadily sweeping away his interest with its branches and leaves.

The scenery here is still very wonderful, beautiful and unreal, even the algae floating on the water are layered and smudged, which is not inferior to Monet's impressionist paintings, but when Shen Teng sat in the front of the car and looked at the distant mountains in a trance, his heart What I can't help but think is: It would be nice if there was another person by my side at the moment.

Hey... You should be able to imagine Shen Teng's astonishment when he realized that he had such an idea.

He originally thought that he was embarking on a path of self-seeking, but he didn't expect that self-seeking was just an appearance, and falsification was the answer—his freedom seemed no longer absolute.

This doesn't seem like a good sign.

If it had been before, Shen Teng would have been so frightened that he immediately wrapped his coat tightly and crossed the river on a single-plank bridge, striding away along the hiking route indicated by the road signs without looking back.But this time, after a long silence, Shen Teng just sat back in the car quietly.

Toyota did not turn off the engine, and the built-in power supply charged the phone enough to support the restart.

During the short period of time when he was holding the phone tightly and waiting for the boot animation to end, Shen Teng realized that he was still nervous about a few messages that he didn't know would come out, like a kid who had just started a relationship.

Their conversation ended ten minutes ago when Shen Tomo exclaimed "Wow, there is a big river blocking me here". According to common sense, Shen Tomato's next step is to cross the river or not to cross the river.With Shen Tom's character of being adventurous and not afraid of death, Qin Zheng probably thought that this person would choose to cross the river, so he would be very nervous. After all, Shen Tom suddenly lost contact without saying anything. This is not a good sign, Qin Zheng Zheng will probably call back, and then he will realize that Shen Tom's cell phone is out of battery. He should feel anxious about it, will keep sending messages to Shen Tom, and will think of a way...

"Call me after power on, have fun."

Seeing such a message from more than ten minutes ago pop up on the lock screen after restarting, Shen Teng fell silent again.

He frowned slightly, and after repeatedly swiping the screen to confirm that there was indeed only such a message, Shen Teng threw the phone back on the passenger seat.

More inexplicable emotions appeared - he seemed to be upset.

But what is he upset about?

Is it because Qin Zheng didn't send him [-] messages as expected, or Qin Zheng doesn't care whether he can't cross the river at all, or it's a combination of both, and there are even more trivial things that can be dug out in corners bother?It doesn't matter how this person talks, isn't it that he can't leave his sight for a moment, Shen Teng has been away from him for hundreds of kilometers for more than ten hours now!

After thinking for a while with his fingers, Shen Toma finally noticed something was wrong. He raised his head and looked at himself dumbfounded in the rearview mirror. It was nothing more than possessiveness, that was a sign of their deepening relationship, but wasn't he the one who had been confined in the world of two people and longed for personal space from the bottom of his heart?Why is he really unhappy now that his wish has come true?

During the time of questioning, the nervousness and unhappiness have all dissipated without knowing it, leaving only some residues rolling with tiny bubbles.

Indecisiveness leads to disaster.Shen Teng picked up the phone again, and directly edited and sent out the question that bothered him the most at the moment: "Emotions are really the most unreasonable things in the world? It's so complicated and scary."

It is so pervasive that an aneurysm loses to it.

Qin Zheng replied to him after 5 minutes: "Are you starting to feel like a mother-in-law?"

It would be great if that was the case, Shen Teng's grandma and mother wouldn't be bubbling with weird sour bubbles like he is now (maybe).

Too lazy to pay any attention to Qin Zheng, Shen Teng casually responded with a "rolling eyes" emoji and threw the phone back.

This time he was really going to climb the single-plank bridge to cross the river.

But 5 minutes later, Shen Teng turned around and walked back to get his mobile phone.

Nothing.

It's just that Shen Teng thought about it, and felt that if he saw some scenery on the road and wanted to show it to him, he wouldn't show it to him.

In case he encounters any danger on the road and wants to survive... It may be too late to survive, but maybe he will regret not saying the last word to Qin Zheng at that moment.

Edwin was like that at that time. Shen Jiaying thought we would see each other again soon when the adults went out that day, so he didn't say goodbye properly, and he always regretted it.

Thinking of this, Shen Teng's heart that had been hardened by the Icelandic wind softened again.

He decided that the adults would not remember the children's faults, and would not argue with the young master, but he did not expect the young master to come over and ask for peace first.

On the passenger seat, the mobile phone that Shen Teng deliberately dropped was vibrating at the moment. He picked it up and saw the late [-] messages from Qin Zheng.

"I also often feel complicated and scary, but recently this terrible symptom has been relieved a lot."

"Do you want to know how I did it?"

"Because of you, Shen Jiaying."

"Because I realized that you really care about me."

Under Shen Toma's silent gaze, the phone vibrated for the last two times: "I care about you too. Do you know?"

The screen was bright, but soon dimmed again, reflecting the indelible smile in Shen Ma's pretendingly cold eyes.

"Worry." After he replied, he put the phone into the pocket closest to his heart.

During this short trip to find the answer, when Shen Teng thought that he had successfully falsified his own freedom, Qin Zheng stood up and revised the auxiliary conditions, put down the chalk, turned to look at the only student sitting in the middle of the classroom, and told Opponent: You are still free.In the past, I was free because you didn't care about everyone, but now I am free because I only care about you.So just go ahead.

This time, Shen Teng raised the corners of his lips and walked towards the single-plank bridge over the rushing river without distraction.
