summer storm

Xu Beishan said yes, why did Xu Beishan say yes?Why did you say yes so easily and simply?

Ruan Xin began to think about this question belatedly after discussing the evidence with him.

As the night was shaking, he and his old friend sat by the window in the bar, took a sip of the whiskey with ice cubes in the glass, smashed it, and remembered the unsolved mystery that Xu Beishan casually threw out last night.

The fat man Zhang Zhou sitting opposite him was his friend since he was a child, and he knew him very well. Seeing his distraught appearance, he also had many doubts.

"Brother Xin, didn't you make the decision to get married too hastily? Don't forget the lessons learned by Zhou Zhiyan—speaking of which, Zhou Zhiyan has returned to China. I heard that he is doing well now. Do you still have contact with him? "

"..."

Ruan Xin was silent.He and Zhou Zhiyan haven't spoken to each other for seven years.

In fact, after graduating and stepping into the society, he rarely thought of this person. The last time he recalled his past with Zhou Zhiyan carefully was a year ago when he met Xu Beishan for the first time.

The first time I saw Xu Beishan was when I went to the Lvrong Temple to burn incense.

The thousand-year-old temple has deep green shadows.In front of the smoky altar, the man was tall and tall, with a handsome face, bending down, inserting a stick of incense, calm and indifferent.

He was so masculine, he couldn't help but stop at this person, and watched for a few seconds with admiration, before meeting the eyes of the man who turned around.

The man's deep black eyes looked at him calmly, shadowy in the drifting white mist, suddenly tainted with a smile.

Ruan Xin was stunned.

In the bustling ancient temple, pilgrims rubbed shoulders, and Xu Beishan stood in front of him, like an old friend.

……

On the eve of Yinan Middle School's college entrance examination, Class [-] organized everyone to go to the Green Banyan Temple to offer incense according to the traditional weekend.

Ruan Xin has been fearless since he was a child. He is not afraid of ghosts and does not believe in gods and Buddhas. He is a staunch successor of materialists. He has little interest in offering incense to seek luck. The only reason for his enthusiasm is because Zhou Zhiyan also went.

Before setting off, he consulted with his love mentor, Little Lemon, as usual.

Xin, Ren: We are going to the Green Banyan Temple to offer incense this afternoon, Lemon, do you think you want to ask him to have dinner with you today?

Little Lemon: Yes, you can ask the Buddha for a peach blossom by the way, maybe Zhou Zhiyan likes you!

Ruan Xin curled her lips, subconsciously feeling that the Buddha didn't care about these things, and as a fluke, she decided to drink the Buddha and talk about Zhou Zhiyan when the incense was offered.

When a class acts together, it will inevitably disperse into small groups in the end. The helpless thing is that Zhou Zhiyan has never been in Ruan Xin's small group.

At that time, the Green Banyan Temple had not yet undergone major renovation work, and it was a bit crowded and old. Students went to offer incense in batches, with Zhou Zhiyan at the front and Ruan Xin at the rear.

He looked at Zhou Zhiyan's back, and the thoughts in his mind were wild.

One moment is that Zhou Zhiyan just joked with someone, one moment is that Zhou Zhiyan is such a bastard that the Buddha will not bless him, and the other moment is that Zhou Zhiyan’s grades are so good that he doesn’t need Buddha’s blessing... It’s messed up and tied into a knot, and finally Still feel uncomfortable because Zhou Zhiyan hasn't chatted with him much recently.

At this time, he still didn't know Zhou Zhiyan's theory of "controlling" and thought that he had done something wrong and made Zhou Zhiyan angry, but he didn't know that Zhou Zhiyan was just trying to keep him cold on purpose.

Zhou Zhiyan finished his incense soon. He turned around and walked out. The young man in a white shirt was thin and tall, with excellent proportions, delicate and handsome eyebrows, a cold demeanor, and lowered eyes, not knowing what he was thinking.

It seems that he is out of tune with the peers around him, more mature and alienated.

Ruan Xin loves to see Zhou Zhiyan's appearance of rejecting people thousands of miles away. He always thinks that when Zhou Zhiyan smiles at him, he is particularly touching.

Maybe it was because Ruan Xin's eyes were too focused, Zhou Zhiyan raised his eyes at some point and met his gaze.

Then, Zhou Zhiyan looked at him, and a smile crept into the corner of his eyes.

It was clearly early summer, that smile was like a puddled pool of spring water, rippling in Ruan Xin's heart.

Kneeling on the futon, Ruan Xin scolded Zhou Zhiyan in his heart for a while, and then prayed for a while. He didn't know what kind of wish he had made, so he walked out blankly until he was standing under the shade of a tree, and the sun was shining brightly. Sun, he came back to his senses.

It's all Zhou Zhiyan's fault, Ruan Xin thought.

Angrily kicking a stone by the side of the road, Ruan Xin was patted on the shoulder.

Turning around, Zhou Zhiyan stood behind him, the boy facing the sun still had a smile on his lips, and he said to him, "Ruan Xin, let's fall in love."

Ruan Xin felt dizzy for a moment, he stood there blankly, and held back a word for a while.

"In front of the Buddha, don't lie to others."

Zhou Zhiyan patted his head, looking extremely serious.

"I won't lie to you, whoever lies is a puppy."

……

"Zhou Zhiyan? Why should I contact this scumbag?" Ruan Xin recovered and answered Zhang Zhou's question.

Zhang Zhou touched his nose resentfully, and said, "Isn't it popular now to reunite with broken mirrors?"

Ruan Xin shook his head: "I already have a husband who crushes Zhou Zhiyan in all aspects, why do I want a low-profile version, disgusting myself?"

Zhang Zhou rubbed his hands when he heard the words, and said excitedly, "Brother Xin, you are already married, you should bring out this super powerful and upgraded version of your husband and show it to the big guys, right? Give you the palm of your hand!"

In recent years, no matter how many tricks Ruan Xin has been out there, the friends around him have hardly met real people a few times. Ruan Xin's various stories are mostly circulated in the mouths of ex-boyfriends/ex-friends with benefits/ex-ambiguous objects.

It was not easy for Ruan Xin to settle down. Everyone was very curious, and Zhang Zhou was no exception.

Ruan Xin was holding the wine glass, his first reaction was to refuse, he paused, and retracted his words.

He never showed the people around him to his friends, because the past experience was too unbearable to look back on.

Once bitten, twice shy.The love affair with Zhou Zhiyan was so vigorous that everyone knew about it. In the end, his pain was watched by everyone and became a topic of conversation.

Xu Beishan... Xu Beishan.

Ruan Xin really couldn't think of when someone like Xu Beishan appeared in his circle of friends, and why he knew everything about him and Zhou Zhiyan so clearly.

However, everything between him and Xu Beishan seemed to be destined by heaven, there was no coincidence, so that Ruan Xin had a blind trust in Xu Beishan that he could not express himself.

So he nodded and said to Zhang Zhou: "Okay, next time I will ask Xu Beishan to treat you to a meal."

……

That day, he met Xu Beishan for the first time at the Green Banyan Temple.

When Xu Beishan passed by him, he smelled the fragrance of Xu Beishan's body, a light snow-pine tone.

Once upon a time, when he and his love mentor Xiao Lemon were thinking about their future boyfriend, he told her.

His boyfriend wants to wear this fragrance.
