don't go near that tree

Wu Chun stared at Xu Shiyao's face with mixed feelings in his heart, not knowing how to describe his mood at the moment.

Inadvertently, tears slipped down the side of the corner of the eye.

When Xu Shiyao reached out his hand, Wu Chun turned his face sideways.

"I know."

Wu Chun said as he hurriedly wiped away his tears. After the tears were dried, Wu Chun turned his head to look at Xu Shiyao. For a long time, the atmosphere between them was too quiet.

The night was very quiet.

There seemed to be no one down the mountain tonight, except for the occasional two croaks of frogs.

Wu Chun stared at Xu Shiyao's face for a long time. In the end, the other party turned his head first, but the moment he turned his head, Wu Chun held Xu Shiyao's face with both hands, forcing him to look him squarely again.

"Xu Shiyao, I understand what you said, but I just like you, what do you say?"

Wu Chun said seriously, just as he finished speaking, Xu Shiyao's lips moved slightly, and after a while, he heard the other party slowly say three words, "I'm sorry"

In an instant, Wu Chun's tears welled up again.

"Why did you say sorry to me?" Wu Chun choked up and asked.

Xu Shiyao turned his eyes away and said nothing.

Wu Chun let go of his hands, sat upright, and looked forward.

For a long time, in the silent night, Wu Chun suddenly said loudly, "If I want to say I'm sorry, it should be me. It's my liking that troubled you, but can you stop..." Wu Chun said, his voice trembling greatly, He took a deep breath and tried to calm down his emotions. After a while, Wu Chun let out another long breath and said the second half of the sentence, "Don't avoid me, okay?"

After saying the last word, Wu Chun seemed to have exhausted all the strength in his body, leaning his back against the tree trunk, only his eyes were still full of energy, and he looked at Xu Shiyao as if praying.

Wu Chun was waiting for Xu Shiyao's answer.

But for a long time, Xu Shiyao remained silent.

"Xu Shiyao, answer me." Seeing that Xu Shiyao remained silent, Wu Chun urged in a low voice, holding the branch he was sitting on tightly with both hands.

Wu Chun was trembling, and he stared at Xu Shiyao's lips without blinking, as if he was waiting for the verdict.

"Wu Chun, don't come here again, go back to your own world."

Xu Shiyao's words were like a bell ringing at the end of the sentence. At this moment, Wu Chun was sentenced to "death sentence"

"Xu Shiyao..."

Wu Chun still refused to give up, as if before this moment, Wu Chun never thought that Xu Shiyao would hide.

People are always reluctant to think about the things they fear deep in their hearts.

Before coming here, Wu Chun even thought about how to deal with Xu Shiyao's rejection, but he didn't think about how to deal with Xu Shiyao's evasion.

Wu Chun was even more afraid of Xu Shiyao's avoidance.

"Xu Shiyao, don't hide from me, okay?"

Wu Chun cried again, the tears tonight seemed to be the sum of his tears in the previous 18 years, he begged, but what he got was still Xu Shiyao's rejection.

"Go back, Wu Chun."

Wu Chun finally fell silent. After a while, Wu Chun hugged the tree trunk and slid down from the tree. The moment his foot stepped on the ground, the wound on his ankle woke up instantly, and the stabbing pain spread from his foot to his whole body. Wu Chun immediately fell to the ground.

At the same time, Wu Chun saw a white shadow flash in front of him, and the next second, he was hugged by the waist.

"I'll take you back." Xu Shiyao's voice came from above his head.

Wu Chun raised his head, holding Xu Shiyao's clothes tightly with both hands.

"Don't hide from me, okay?"

This is Wu Chun's last request tonight. Even though he has been rejected many times, he still wants Wu Chun to try again out of unwillingness.

Xu Shiyao stared at Wu Chun's longing eyes, his Adam's apple trembled slightly, no matter how much reluctance he felt in his heart, Xu Shiyao still repeated what he said the last two times.

"I'll take you back."

The anticipation in Wu Chun's eyes faded after Xu Shiyao's words ended.

Still a "death sentence"

Even though it was the expected result, Wu Chun still felt unspeakably uncomfortable.

Wu Chun let go of Xu Shiyao's collar with his hands, and sighed slowly.

After a while, Wu Chun laughed at himself.

"Let me down, Xu Shiyao."

Xu Shiyao didn't listen at all, hugged Wu Chun, and walked slowly, but Xu Shiyao walked very slowly tonight.

"Xu Shiyao." Wu Chun struggled, trying to get out of Xu Shiyao's arms. He suppressed the tears in his eyes and said, "I can do it myself."

It's just that the more Wu Chun struggled, the harder the hand clasped around his waist became.

"Don't move around, be obedient, I'll take you back."

Seeing his expression, Wu Chun was stunned for a while, finally, Wu Chun gave up struggling and buried his face in Xu Shiyao's arms.

During this journey, no one spoke between them.

When they reached the gate of Wu Chun's grandfather's house, Wu Chun was let down.

Xu Shiyao squatted down, and carefully touched Wu Chun's sprained ankle with his hand.

A burst of coolness hit, and the pain on Wu Chun's ankles eased a lot.

"Go back, it's getting late." Xu Shiyao got up and said to Wu Chun.

Wu Chun looked at him, his lips moved, but in the end he didn't say anything. He turned around and limped towards the house. After a while, Wu Chun turned around suddenly, as if he had made a sudden decision, and looked at him firmly. Looking at Xu Shiyao, he lowered his voice and said to Xu Shiyao, "If you hide from me, I will stay here and guard the mountain for the rest of my life."

After Wu Chun finished speaking, he quickly turned around, not looking at Xu Shiyao's expression, he casually picked up a wooden stick from the ground, and walked towards the house with his support.

Suddenly the lights in the yard came on.

Wu Chun turned around in a panic, only to see a looming white figure far away from him, standing there for a long time, refusing to leave.

"Chunchun, what's the matter?"

Wu Chun quickly wiped away the tears hanging from the corners of his eyes, and said with a forced smile, "It's okay, grandpa, I accidentally fell."

……

Ten Mile Mountain is very quiet tonight.

Xu Shiyao sat on a pine tree, looking at the bright moon hanging high in the night sky, for a long time, only to hear him sigh slowly.

After a while, a faint green light flashed, and rows of bark appeared in front of Xu Shiyao.

These tree barks happened to be what Wu Chun wanted to see, and everything about Wu Chun was recorded on them.

Xu Shiyao arranged the barks in chronological order, starting from the first one.

At midnight every day, Xu Shiyao's records will be cleared, but he can still quickly remember these things in his mind after reading them.

I don't know when it started, when Xu Shiyao's memory was cleared, when he looked at the world in a daze, there was a touch of familiarity, and it would always appear in front of him immediately.

About Wu Chun, Xu Shiyao seemed to have forgotten, but also seemed not to forget, as long as he saw him, all the strangeness in his heart would disappear.

Every time Xu Shiyao sees Wu Chun, that cute boy with bright eyes and two dimples when he smiles, the corners of his mouth can't help but rise slightly. It turns out that there is such a touching existence in the world, and he can't help but want to break through the two. The barriers of the world really came to him.

It wasn't until that night when he heard Wu Chun's words that Xu Shiyao woke up suddenly - he shouldn't have been like this.

Maybe Xu Shiyao didn't fully understand the meaning of liking, but that night, Xu Shiyao sat alone on the pine tree and thought about it for a long time. Although he was very reluctant to let go, he still took back the hand he was about to reach out to Wuchun World.

Humans and ghosts have different paths, Wu Chun should not be tied down by him, he should follow his own life trajectory, and break out of his own world in the outside world that he often mentioned.

During this process, the existence of Xu Shiyao will only hinder the opponent.

So Xu Shiyao hid. He looked at the bark that had been recorded by the other party, and wanted to destroy these, but Xu Shiyao was reluctant to erase Wu Chun's traces from his life.

Xu Shiyao's world is too monotonous, and every day is like a piece of paper that is too blank. It is Wu Chun's appearance that makes this blank paper more moving.

"Wu Chun..."

Xu Shiyao muttered softly, thinking of what the other party said tonight, he finally let out a helpless sigh.

Immediately afterwards, Xu Shiyao waved his hand, and not long after, a sentence suddenly appeared in the center of a piece of tree bark - I like it, it is the mood at any moment when I am with Wu Chun.

Xu Shiyao covered his lips with his fingertips, recalling the feeling when Wu Chun kissed him. After a while, there was another sentence on the bark——kiss is the moment when the lips touch the softness, and the calm heart becomes excited. Can't control the feeling of wanting to rob.

For the first time, Xu Shiyao felt selfish. While wanting the other party to leave his life, he couldn't wait to record any moment the other party existed in his life.

It's just that only Xu Shiyao knows this selfishness.

Xu Shiyao still guarded the mountain and the people in the village below the mountain, and Wu Chun should also return to his own world.

Their lives will no longer intersect, but in the dead of night, Xu Shiyao will sit alone on the pine tree, greedily absorbing every word recorded on the bark.

There was a burning sensation on his cheeks, Xu Shiyao touched his own cheeks, and felt something damp and hot, which was faintly glowing under the moonlight.

Xu Shiyao lightly touched his eyes with his hand, and his eyes were wet.

Xu Shiyao once thought of Wu Chun asking if he would cry?At that time, Xu Shiyao's answer was no.

Just now it seems that maybe not.

Xu Shiyao stared blankly at the drops of water on his fingers, were they tears?His fingertips crossed his eye sockets again, and he thought of Wu Chun's eyes full of tears. After a while, Xu Shiyao laughed softly.

"Tears." He muttered these two words in a low voice.

After being away from the world for five years, he once again possessed this thing.

The green light faded, and the bark disappeared into the night.

Xu Shiyao stood under the treetop, looking at the sleeping Shili Village, and finally hid among the pine trees.

The sun will rise as usual on the second day, and everything should return to its original track tonight.
