【Peking Shuangmei】Shell

At that time, Fang Mengwei, who was not yet twenty, was sitting under the stage, listening to a report that couldn't be more boring.Xia Chan's singing is the best lullaby, and he can hardly hide the fact that he is pretending to be taking notes with his arm supporting his side face.

The meeting room was very quiet, with green tea floating in the porcelain cup in front of him, and Fang Mengwei's pen had already drawn an irregular diagonal line on the notebook.

Then he heard that voice, which was obviously softer than the hoarse voice of the person who gave the report before, but it seemed to penetrate the entire meeting room at this moment, hitting Fang Mengwei's eardrum directly.So sleepy, he raised his head and saw a young man in military uniform on the stage reciting from the script, standing under the portrait of Sun Yat-sen.

He pushed the people around him and asked who was making the report on the stage?

The person next to him was meeting Duke Zhou, and suddenly said "ah" in a daze.

The sound was not loud, but it was enough for everyone in the quiet conference room to hear clearly.

The people on the stage stopped for a moment, their eyes swept over Fang Mengwei and his neighbor.Fang Mengwei didn't feel embarrassed either, and looked towards him, his eyes meeting in the air for a moment.

The young officer making the report looked away, bowed his head and resumed reading the manuscript from where he had just stopped, using that unhurried tone.Fang Mengwei rested his chin on his left hand and squinted at the people on the stage. His mind, which was dizzy from sleepiness before, was very clear now.

He took a sip of his tea, thinking about how to make friends with this young man later.

It’s just that the goodbye turned out to be a few years later. Looking at Secretary Sun who was wearing the police uniform behind Xu Tieying at Beiping Nanyuan Airport, Fang Mengwei suddenly felt something hit his head. It might be depression, which turned into anger. When Sun Chaozhong called Deputy Director Fang and offered to go with him to the train station to pick up Cui Zhongshi.

In the car, the man said in the same calm tone that Director Xu would be waiting for Cui Zhongshi at Fang's house at night.At that moment, the frustration and exasperation reached its peak.Fang Mengwei had an inexplicable dislike for this man, and felt that this man had deceived him, so he swears at him.

This is so interesting, how can a person who doesn't know him lie to him?

There are so many questions, Fang Mengwei has never thought about it.But when he held Sun Chaozhong in his arms, leaned against his chest to listen to his heartbeat, messed up his voice, and invaded his senses, he seemed to feel that everything was very clear.

He and Sun Chaozhong were meant to be together.

Fang Mengwei pushed open the door of the residence, looked at the table full of melon seeds and snacks and put down his luggage with some relief.Chao Zhong?Chao Zhong?

He pushed open the door of the inner room, but saw no one.

There are a few red envelopes on the bedside table in the bedroom, presumably they are going to be given to the children in the neighborhood.

Fang Mengwei took off his scarf, wondering where Sun Chaozhong had gone.Open the door and go downstairs, avoiding the children lighting up fireworks in the alley,

He probed towards Aunt Li's house, and sure enough, he saw Sun Chaozhong.He was sitting at the mahjong table in that gray woolen coat, concentrating on the cards.

The way he sat on the stool and focused on reading the cards seemed so out of place with the guests who were busily coming in and out of the room.Fang Mengwei secretly laughed at his appearance, and stood by the wall silently watching him play cards without making a sound.In the end, some little girl shook Sun Chaozhong's sleeve and asked him to take the crispy candy that was out of reach on the fruit plate, and this person raised his head and saw Fang Mengwei standing across the room.

This is for you.

Sun Chaozhong handed the red paper on the bedside table to Fang Mengwei.

Fang Mengwei took off his coat. He was wearing a black sweater, which made him look even thinner due to the dark color.He didn't reach out to pick it up, but just frowned and smiled, I'm not a child, why give me this?

Sun Chaozhong glanced at the locked door and surrounded him from behind. The tradition of his hometown should be given.It was supposed to be stuffed in the pillow on the first day of the new year, and it was next to the pillow when I woke up.

Fang Mengwei just wanted to refute what kind of tradition this is, but he immediately understood, his cheeks were flushed, but he was not convinced in his heart, and said that I would give it to you too!

Sun Chaozhong stuffed the red envelope into his trouser pocket, saying that I was two years older than you, and that I was your cousin outside.Of course I will give it to you.Fang Mengwei couldn't argue with him, so he simply turned around and kissed his mouth, but with a light touch, he put his lips on the other's neck.

What's the matter, I haven't seen you for a few days.Sun Chaozhong stretched out his hand to caress behind his back.I just want, I want to be with you every year in the future.

Speaking out of the mouth was like showing weakness, Fang Mengwei pushed him away and said what about you, do you want it?Sun Chaozhong looked at him playfully, didn't speak for a while, and finally hugged him into his arms.

Underwater

Meng Wei, Fang Mengwei!come down!

The young man was wearing a white vest, floating on the water with only his head exposed.The water remained from his hair and eyebrows, which seemed to be golden fragments in the sun, and sprinkled all over his body.

Fang Mengwei glanced at the two bicycles leaning against the small tree behind him, unbuttoned his sandals, and stepped on the grass.The grass scratched the insteps a little itchy, and the dew fell a little cold.

As soon as he was so distracted, the person in the water disappeared, and the broken gold that was covered with clothes before was also spread flat on the water surface.

The water surface was clear, Fang Mengwei took a step forward, and he could vaguely see the figure under the water, slowly surfacing further away.The man wiped away the hair that covered his eyes with his hands, and this time he was stepping on the water, only his head was exposed.

Come down, there are aquatic plants over there, come here!Sun Chaozhong shouted.

Fang Mengwei learned to swim when he was a child, and he had a coach to correct his posture.At this moment, he was standing on the shore, but he seemed to be in a daze, and could only stare at Sun Chaozhong in a daze.

Sun Chaozhong no longer greeted him, but turned over and disappeared into the water.Fang Mengwei didn't wait any longer, took two steps and jumped into the water.

The sky disappeared, and in an instant the whole world was annihilated into the water, green and light green, and everything was silent.It's like sinking into the bottomless deep sea, and it's like just diving into your heart, no one will disturb you, and you will be satisfied in isolation.

Fang Mengwei subconsciously wiped his face with his hands when he surfaced to exhale, and the water droplets were thrown out to reflect the light in the sun.

The world is still the same world, but at this moment it seems to be very different from before entering the water.The five senses have also been washed, and they seem to be much clearer, and they can clearly see Xia Chan sitting on the tallest branch.

He looked around sideways, listening to the three long and one short birdsong in the empty mountain, but he didn't see Sun Chaozhong.

Looking around, hearing the sound of water breaking behind him, he turned his head and saw Sun Chaozhong floating up from the water, his black hair drooping in front of his eyes, but his eyes were very clear.

There are fish in the water.He said.

Sun Chaozhong's voice had never been loud, and now Fang Mengwei couldn't hear what he was talking about more than ten meters away.He could only paddle to the shore, and seeing Sun Chaozhong floating in the water effortlessly, he couldn't help feeling a little jealous again.

Where are the fish, nonsense.

Don't move, don't scare them away.Sun Chaozhong said seriously, look, look carefully!

Fang Mengwei was dubious, so he really held his breath. He didn't see the fish, but saw the well-proportioned upper body of the other party's muscular body reflected in the water waves, with a healthy wheat-colored luster at the moment.Sun Chaozhong's complexion is like this, it turns dark when exposed to the sun, unlike Fang Mengwei, who has the same color in winter and summer.

did you see?Sun Chaozhong asked.ah?

Fry, see?

Fang Mengwei frowned, unwilling to admit his distraction, so he said, what's so good about fish, there are so many vegetable markets.After speaking, he plunged into the water and swam towards the center of the lake.

He thought that even if he couldn't float, he should swim faster than Sun Chaozhong, so he got angry, didn't take a breath frequently, just looked at the clump of reeds on the opposite bank as a target, and swam across the water.

Now that he calmed down, he really saw the almost transparent small fish fry passing by his arm. Fang Mengwei used his hand to scoop it up, but the fish waved his body and passed through.He turned his head to look at Sun Chaozhong, wanting to share this discovery with the other party, but when he turned his head, he saw only a blue sky, where was Sun Chaozhong's shadow in the quiet water?

Just as he was about to look back, he felt his ankle being jerked and he fell into the depths of the lake.

Frightened, he almost opened his mouth to shout, and waved his hands a few times in chaos, but he reacted immediately and frowned to catch the "water ghost".

Sun Chaozhong floated to his side and looked at him, there were bubbles overflowing from his mouth as if he was talking about something, naturally he couldn't hear clearly, but there was a smile between his brows and eyes.

Fang Mengwei didn't want to admit that he was really frightened just now, he was thinking about how to get back in a while, and frowning, he glanced at the instigator with the most ferocious eyes at the bottom of the water.

Sun Chaozhong swam towards him, looking a little funny, with his hair floating upwards, and the white vest he was wearing was inflated by the running water as if floating in the air.He leaned over, held Fang Mengwei's chin with one hand, and put his lips on Fang Mengwei's.

Fang Mengwei's memory of this kiss is extremely clear, he is as desperate as a drowning man, and as greedy as a mouse in a rice bucket.For a moment, before Sun Chaozhong fished him out of the water, he thought, if he just drowned in this kiss and gave everything between those soft lips, he would have no regrets.

Afterwards he was so ashamed of the absurd thought of this moment that he was a little absent-minded on the way back on his bicycle.The chain made a strange sound of "Gada", and before he had time to squeeze the brakes, he was thrown forward.

Sun Chaozhong let him into the house, sat in the sunny place and went to get the medicine by himself.

A worn-out knee wasn't considered a serious wound, but in Sun Chaozhong's eyes, he felt as if his own knee was going numb, so he couldn't help but frowned, and applied Fang Mengwei with the medicine.

Seeing him so meticulous and slow, Fang Mengwei was a little impatient, telling you to hurry up, but it doesn't hurt.

Sun Chaozhong didn't answer, just wiped the potion evenly on him, and then blew lightly while controlling his breath.

Thinking about it, this action is still a bit childish. I don’t know that I haven’t done it in ten or twenty years. It’s probably only when I was a child in the countryside and a group of wild children went up the mountain and down the lake. Blowing breath can also be regarded as psychological comfort.

Fang Mengwei was very useful, but seeing his distressed face, he wished to comfort him in turn.

There were also a few red marks on his forehead and the side of his face. Sun Chaozhong frowned and washed him carefully with clean water, but sighed while washing, saying that I knew there was something wrong with the chain and I didn't check it anyway.I should have told you to ride my car.

I knew I shouldn't have taken you to that reservoir.

I'm just happy to go, and I'll go again next time!

Fang Mengwei almost snapped a sentence.I'm such an adult, it's not that I can't touch it, it's fine, don't make a dejected look.

After hearing the words, Sun Chaozhong didn't make a sound, but wiped his forehead carefully with a clean cotton cloth.

Although the movement is light, it still inevitably affects the pain.Outside the window is the sound of footsteps coming and going and the cries of vendors occasionally passing by in the alley, mixed with the sound of birdsong and wind.Accompanied by a light touch, the sound of Sun Chaozhong's breathing came from above, so gentle, it seemed to be the most effective painkiller in the world.

After washing for the second time and drying it again, Sun Chaozhong was satisfied and poured out the water in the washbasin.

When he wrung out the face towel and handed it to Fang Mengwei to wipe his face, he saw that the eyes of the other party were slightly red, and he quickly raised his eyebrows and knelt down to ask what's wrong?Did I hit hard?

No.

Fang Mengwei held his hand and pressed it to his face.

It's just that the last time someone treated him so tenderly, frowning with self-blame while applying medicine to his bruised knee, it was more than 20 years ago.

He seemed to see a shadow in a cheongsam standing on the second floor of that small western-style building in Shanghai calling him softly, Meng Wei, be careful, don't be naughty with your big brother!

He buried his head on Sun Chaozhong's shoulder, wrapped his hands around him, and took a deep breath of the breath that belonged only to him.

Secret

A bird built a nest in the corner of the eaves, and from time to time stretched out its head to visit.The winter in this southern port is sharp and short, and it is already a scene of spring and summer in February.

Sun Chaozhong returned to his small building, but his steps were lighter than usual. He glanced behind him almost habitually before slowly walking up the wooden stairs of the small building.

Due to the structure of the building, even in broad daylight, the stairway was completely dark, and no one installed corridor lights.Sun Chaozhong was used to it, so he took a few steps to the front door of his house and took out the key to open the door.Fang Mengwei couldn't do it. Every time in the darkness, he walked carefully holding onto the wall, as if he was afraid that he would step into the abyss in the next step. Coal, got my hand full of black charcoal, and was so angry that I wanted to find someone to reason with.

Later, Sun Chaozhong moved to live with him, so he no longer had to walk through this dark corridor every so often.

Sun Chaozhong inserted the key into the door lock to open the door, but was about to lock the door behind him when he heard someone shouting from the wooden stairs, Mr. Sun!You are finally back!

He subconsciously stuffed the metal box in his arms into the bookcase by the door, took a book and covered it.With the ray of light coming through the window behind him, he vaguely saw that the person who came was Mrs. He, the neighbor downstairs.

He opened the door halfway sideways and blocked people from the door.

Mrs. He saw that he had no intention of letting her in, so she directly mentioned that the clothes drying downstairs were frequently wet by the water poured from upstairs.Tell him to stop pouring water from the balcony window.

Sun Chaozhong has always lived at Fang Mengwei's place, so how can he come back to splash water when he has time?So I said it was definitely not my fault, you can ask someone else.

Why are you so stubborn?I saw that it was splashed from your window sill, not from your house, so whose house do you think it belonged to?Mrs. He gathered the shawl on her shoulders and put her hands on her chest.

Sun Chaozhong didn't have the heart to continue talking to her, and he didn't want to be a villain who really told her that someone might splash water on it.Such words are said, and then passed on by this Mrs. He, I don't know how it will be passed on.So I said, the water was definitely not poured by my family, I still have something to do, you might as well come to visit another day.

After finishing speaking, close the door, and don't care about the woman talking outside with her hips akimbo, I have never seen such a difficult person to speak.

Sun Chaozhong locked the door and drew the curtains tightly before taking out the metal box from the bookcase.He went into the bedroom and closed the door behind him.

When he came out a few minutes later, the metal box was no longer in his hand.

He grabbed a few rain flower stones on the window sill and played with them in his hands, but he was thinking about when Fang Mengwei would go back.Sun Chaozhong's life was a monologue before he met Fang Mengwei.

He is used to making plans for himself, bearing the consequences of his choices, and he can stand up to himself regardless of gains or losses.

He never thought there was any problem with this, until he was with Fang Mengwei, his heart seemed to be turning from a monologue to a

dialogue.

Fang Mengwei didn't bother to hide his nostalgia and accommodating towards him. His love was as intense as his anger, but it was more lingering.Sun Chaozhong glanced at the solid wood bedside table in the bedroom, and his eyes stayed on the invisible hidden compartment.

The two smooth Yuhua stones in his hands rubbed together and made a sharp sound.He will not lose Fang Mengwei.

So all of this must be properly arranged.

When he locked the door and walked out, a bird flew past his eyes.It was probably going to rain, he looked up at the window sill of his house, but saw water dripping from the window eaves.

He frowned and thought for a while, and suddenly realized that it was the water tank by the window.There was a small crack in the bottom of the water tank, so it was not used to store water, but it was just placed by the window sill as waste.

Presumably, the water was stored on rainy days, and when the sun cleared, the water was still flowing down drop by drop.

Sun Chaozhong quickly ran upstairs and moved the water tank away.When he came downstairs, he bumped into Mrs. He again. He didn't want to talk, so he just nodded and passed.

Family

I will take good care of Chaozhong.
