Strangers Ten Years Later

Lin Jin didn't let Ye Ziyuan in.

Compared with cruelty, Lin Jin is stronger than anyone else.

That door was like his defense. Lin Jin always felt that after letting Ye Ziyuan in, he would lose all his secrets, even though there was indeed no secret in this room, it was nothing more than a few boxes of instant noodles he had eaten, fried There is still a few bottles of medicine in the pot that the eggs have not had time to brush.

Putting the little girl on the bed, Lin Jin hesitated for a moment before opening the door. As he guessed, Ye Ziyuan was sitting in the stairwell playing mobile games, and when he heard the sound, he immediately turned his head: "I knew You are not willing to leave me alone in this strange place!"

As he said that, he got up and squeezed in.

Lin Jin came out immediately and closed the door gently.

Ye Ziyuan: "..."

"Let's chat." Lin Jin said.

The streets in the old city of Damascus are really nothing to see. The row upon row of roofs is full of years of vicissitudes, and the more or less different eyes that fall on the body make it impossible to calm down and have a good chat. Lin Jin took Ye Ziyuan Go directly to the high place, pass through the ruins of places of interest one after another, and sit on the high wall.

Ye Ziyuan followed behind him silently all the way, even though he didn't say a word, Lin Jin could still feel the sight that was sticking to his back all the time.

To be honest, Lin Jin was really surprised that Ye Ziyuan could catch up here.

There is also a very special feeling under the surprise.

The two sat down together, Lin Jin lit a cigarette and handed it to each other, thinking that Ye Ziyuan's wound might not be healed, so he put it in his mouth and drank it.

Ye Ziyuan frowned, looked at his cigarette, but suppressed the desire to say something.

"Healed?" Lin Jin asked him.

Ye Ziyuan seemed to be showing off, and there was no shadow of the previous depression. He pulled up the hem of his short sleeves: "No! But for you, I am willing to travel through thousands of mountains and rivers. How about it? Isn't it very touching?"

Blood oozes from the bandage that Ye Ziyuan wrapped several times - probably the scab started to toss before it healed, causing it to tear again.

Lin Jin didn't say anything.

Ye Ziyuan hit a wall, so he put the hem of the T-shirt back and said, "I came here temporarily. I didn't book a hotel, and I didn't even change the money."

Ye Ziyuan’s words were actually only half-spoken. Not only did he not book anything, but he was almost caught at the airport when he was about to leave. All his cards were frozen, and he only bought economy class air tickets. The big man lay there in a daze for more than ten hours. If it wasn't for the passion of seeing Lin Jin, he might have been unable to bear it.

He planned to complain and lose his temper when he saw this person, but he didn't expect that when he saw Lin Jin's smile, all his grievances disappeared in an instant.

I just want to hug him hard and do nothing else.

Lin Jin said: "I'll lend you some money later. Cross this river and go across to the new city of Damascus. There will be a hotel there. You can stay there for one night, and it won't be too late to book a ticket for tomorrow."

"Who said I want to go back?" Ye Ziyuan looked at him, "Lin Jin, you don't want to do that trick with me again. If you don't go back with me, I will definitely not go back."

Lin Jin glanced at him, his eyes seemed to pass through him, and landed on the endless wilderness behind him.

His heart kept retreating, almost irreversible.

Lin Jin looked at the boundless sky in the distance, and after a pause, he suddenly asked, "Ye Ziyuan, do you still remember when we were in high school?"

"At that time, I was studying every day except studying, and I didn't have any entertainment activities. After you sat at the same table with me and got familiar with it, you always took me to the playground after school and ran around. After running around, you bought me a chocolate," Lin Jin said. Speaking of this, he smiled, "In the third year of high school, after the Cold War, I went to run laps alone every night. It was only then that I realized..."

"So it's really unreasonable to like this kind of thing." Lin Jin didn't look at him, let the smoke fill up, covering half of his face in it, "I admit, I like you, I love you , For more than ten years, I reckless of all consequences, just to stay by your side, not even for you to fall in love with me."

When he said this, he laughed softly, his eyes were already wet, but he didn't let the tears fall from the corners of his eyes: "I lost all my self-esteem and pride in my bones for you, and stayed by your side regardless of gains and losses. Over the years, I have also thought about what I want and what I want from you."

"I never understood it and never thought about it."

"But since I left you, I found that although I have lost the ability to love someone, it seems..." He considered carefully, trying to make his words easier to accept, "It seems that a person can also love someone for you." Live by yourself."

"Who said that people can't be alone for the rest of their lives? Love, whether you have it or not, has never been a necessity in life, so I don't care if you have it or not."

Lin Jin turned his head to look at him, Ye Ziyuan's face was close in front of his eyes, but it seemed to be far away in the sky, so far away that it seemed that it would shatter if he touched it, he knew it was his inner demon, it was his desperate to get rid of it. A demon that can't be caught.

He no longer has the strength to grab it, and he doesn't want to struggle and entangle any more.

But Ye Ziyuan suddenly stretched out his hand, held his face and made the other party look at him, his face could even be regarded as gloomy: "Lin Jin, tell me, what are you afraid of?"

Lin Jin froze.

Ye Ziyuan continued to speak, almost forcing: "You said you still like me, if you like me, then stay together - if you are afraid that I will abandon you in the future, then there is no need, I am willing for a Ji Cheng like you Take it easy and never touch anyone else, don't you even have the confidence to compare with Ji Cheng?!"

"What are you afraid of!"

Lin Jin became flustered almost instantly, and his breathing became short of breath. He knew the real reason for coming to Syria. It was not to relax, nor was he tired of staying in Shanghai——

There is only one reason.

When he saw Ye Ziyuan lying on the bed, his pale face was in stark contrast to the blood all over his body, his eyes were closed as he was dying, and even his breathing became almost undetectable.

He knew clearly that his heart softened.

But how could he be so soft-hearted?Being soft-hearted is not only sorry for myself, but also for my mother.

He forced himself to take a step back, and he opened his mouth after a while, his tone almost flustered: "Ye Ziyuan, I'm not afraid of anything, it's just... just... it doesn't matter, let's go back to normal friendship, okay?"

"No," Ye Ziyuan said, "I'm not happy that you want to live as a brother with me. I, Ye Ziyuan, just want to give you a title, can't I?"

Lin Jin was anxious, angry and helpless, seeing Ye Ziyuan's unreasonable and arrogant expression, wishing he could push him off the city wall.

The two confronted each other, and the silence spread. After a long time, Lin Jin calmed down instead.

He sighed and said, "Then maybe, just pretend we never met."

There was a cool wind blowing past his ears, blowing up the corners of his clothes, and the hair on his forehead brushed against his reddish eye sockets. He looked at him calmly, as if he had let go of all the past, really. Going to pursue another ladder in your life.

Ye Ziyuan suddenly didn't know what to do, his whole body was tense, and he stared at him.

He didn't give him any gaps, he pulled away and walked quickly and hurriedly.

It's like a spring breeze that blows without a trace.

"Let's go."

Lin Jin turned around and wanted to leave.

But Ye Ziyuan suddenly bounced up from the ground, grabbed his wrist suddenly, exerted all his strength, his eyes were bloodshot, and stared at him without blinking.

Lin Jin was frightened by Ye Ziyuan's look, and couldn't help frowning slightly, but the next second, Ye Ziyuan opened his mouth, slamming every word without any refutation: "Well, then we will start again, as if nothing happened Pass."

Lin Jin took a breath, looked at him blankly, and wiped away the sense of loss in his heart.

Ye Ziyuan let go of his hand.

In the next second, he clasped his five fingers together and stretched them forward, and said in a low and hoarse voice, "Hello, I'm Ye Ziyuan."

"Yeziyuan."

In my memory, this voice seems to overlap with the voice of that person in the past years. In the summer when I was 16 years old, the boy was lying on the desk, with short sleeves showing half of his belly. He covered his face with a book, and lazily introduced Own.

"Yeziyuan."

"Your new tablemate, the object of help."

"Help me cover more in the future, Lin Jin."

Lin Jin stared blankly at the hand in front of him.

Ye Ziyuan shrugged: "It's better when nothing happened. Let's get to know each other again, Lin Jin. This time I pursue you again. You have to give me a brand new suitor. You should give me the attitude you should give when pursuing you. I'm polite, you can't refuse when I ask you out, even if you refuse, you have to decline politely, and you can't push me any further."

Lin Jin: "..."

Why did I suddenly feel like I was digging a hole for myself to jump into?

Although Ye Ziyuan's shameless face when he pursued Ji Cheng can be seen how deep this person's shamelessness is, but when such a thing happened to him, Lin Jin still refreshed on a deeper level that this person is worse than the city wall. The degree of thick skin.

Headache.

Ye Ziyuan still walked back behind him with a shy face. Lin Jin led the way without saying a word. When he got downstairs, Ye Ziyuan suddenly called him: "Happy birthday."

Lin Jin froze.

Today is his 29 years old, he didn't tell anyone, and he acted like nothing happened.

But Ye Ziyuan, like every year in the past, still remembers.

But this year he gave nothing but a bouquet of roses.

It has been so long, he thought.

Lin Jin's heart was so stubborn that of course he didn't let Ye Ziyuan live in his house, he didn't even prepare medicine for him, and he didn't do anything except lend him some local money.

Ye Ziyuan didn't say anything, just turned and left.

It was already eight o'clock when Yu Yan came back at night, Tongtong woke up and was drinking porridge when he heard the sound of "dongdongdong" and ran to open the door.

Yu Yan came in and rubbed Tongtong's head, and said loudly, "Hey, Lin Jin, did you buy anything?"

"What?" Lin Jin wiped the water off his hands and poked his head out of the kitchen.

Holding a box of things in his arms, Yu Yan passed it forward and said, "Here is a box of medicine."

Lin Jin was taken aback, took the box from Yu Yan's hand and put it on the coffee table, and tore off the post-it note inside, which was written by Ye Ziyuan.

"Liu Jin asked me to bring it to you. Tell me to tell you to either go to a licensed doctor, or take medicine, three times a day, no less."

It's his medicine to control his condition.

... Ye Ziyuan knew.

So suddenly, Lin Jin discovered that all his secrets and disguises had been pulled down by Ye Ziyuan, and he almost had nowhere to hide.

When did you know?

Why didn't you say anything?

He is a "psychopath", does Ye Ziyuan not mind at all?

Wouldn't he... wouldn't he feel that he wasn't good enough for him?Lin Jin sat down abruptly, his mind roaring and chaotic, as if he finally got back into his own shell, and was pulled out by Ye Ziyuan again.

"It's all medicine." Yu Yan's words woke Lin Jin up, "How did you pass the security check..."

"Privilege." Lin Jin responded casually, carrying the box into the bedroom, "How are you today?"

Speaking of this, Yu Yan's face suddenly became serious, his brows were slightly frowned, and he said: "Recently, the new urban area is in chaos, so don't go there if you have nothing to do--Also, it's best not to go casually these few days. Going out, there are riots in the urban area, maybe it will come to the old urban area, bombs and guns may appear around you at any time, so be careful."

Lin Jin nodded: "Okay."

Yu Yan glanced at him: "You'd better tell that to everyone."

Although Lin Jin didn't say anything, Yu Yan was so smart that he could naturally guess who was chasing him.

The author has something to say: There are a lot of cuties, hug and circle around, it will probably be over within the next week.
