Strangers Ten Years Later

It was the worst year for Lin Jin in his life so far.

In 2009, just after the Wenchuan Earthquake and the Southern Snowstorm, everything was waiting to be done, and everything seemed hopeful again. Lin Jin, who almost donated all his savings, ushered in his senior year of high school. He thought he could keep pace with the country, but the The worst time of my life has come.

Lin Jin lived a lonely life since he was a child, and because of his good grades, he was favored by his teachers. Because of this kind of favor, he was fortunate to be Ye Ziyuan's one-on-one helper. The two sat at the same table for two full years. .

Lin Jin ambitiously wanted to improve Ye Ziyuan's grades, and tried to show his skills in the third year of high school, but never thought that Ye Ziyuan would start to alienate him one day.

Things happened so quickly that he was caught off guard.

At that time, Ye Ziyuan only kept an affair with girls, and Lin Jin always thought so, until he saw with his own eyes that in the classroom after school at dusk, Ye Ziyuan pressed a boy on the blackboard and kissed him.

Many years later, Lin Jin tried to recall his feelings at that time, and every time he came to this point, a very complicated feeling rose up.

There was shock, there was loss, there was fear.

What frightened him the most was that he suddenly understood something at that moment.

The relationship between Ye Ziyuan and Lin Jin has been unexpectedly good in the past two years, probably because Lin Jin doesn't talk often and is very obedient and sensible. For Ye Ziyuan, such a buddy is very satisfactory, so they The degree of harmony with each other is beyond everyone's imagination.

Lin Jin thought about why he could tolerate Ye Ziyuan's pranks and harsh words again and again... He never got a suitable answer.

At that moment, when the afterglow of the setting sun was shining on the desk, Ye Ziyuan held the boy's chin, raised his head slightly, and met Lin Jin's eyes, Lin Jin ran away.

It turns out that boys and boys can really be together, he thought.

Does this prove... that he and Ye Ziyuan can be together?

Lin Jin started to panic and panic. He had a big fight with Ye Ziyuan on the grounds of affecting his academic performance. No one knew himself better than him. At that time, he was not afraid of affecting his academic performance. He was jealous of Ye Ziyuan kissing others. .

But he never cared about the girls who came and went.

Then there was a cold war that lasted for several days. Ye Ziyuan lost all his patience. Although the two were at the same table, they never took the initiative to say a word.

Looking back on the life at that time afterward, I can only describe it in terms of war and chaos. Lin Jin doesn't want to think about it, because as soon as he thinks about it, he can't control the sticky touch and the flying gossip. They rushed to the top of his head, making him unable to breathe.

No matter how much time has passed, Lin Jin still remembers that when the rumors that he was a "gay" spread in the school, even the teacher who had always been tolerant of him turned cold and avoided the scene where he was like a snake .

During that time, Lin Jin was so withdrawn that he went to and from get out of class by himself, and when someone talked to him, they always scolded him in front of him, and even spurned him.

How could there be such a person...

I heard he likes Ye Ziyuan.

A person like him would want to send himself up when he meets a man, otherwise who would want it?

gross……

gross.

At that time, Lin Jin passed through the noisy crowd numbly, he didn't cry or make noise, he just straightened his back, recited words day after day, and then broke down emotionally in the middle of the night.

Therefore, when Ye Ziyuan stood in front of him again and spoke to him, it was undoubtedly the descending of the gods.

If before that, Lin Jin only had a vague affection for Ye Ziyuan, then since then, he has become completely determined.

Ye Ziyuan said: "Hey, without me, you still can't do anything, you know now?"

Not only know.

At that moment, Lin Jin suddenly felt all his grievances welling up in his heart, he suppressed the tears that were about to burst into his eyes, and hugged him tightly.

Ye Ziyuan hugged him back, patted him on the back rudely, a little uncomfortable: "Lin Jin, don't fall in love with me just because I helped you with this matter."

Lin Jinxin said, it's too late.

There was a lot of snow that day, and the city of Beijing was covered in a snow-white world. If you stepped on the ground, you would sink half of it.

"Speak." Ye Ziyuan's face and eyelashes were covered with snowflakes, he frowned and looked at him seriously, "Are you okay?"

Lin Jin sniffed, wiped off the snow on his face, and said softly, "Ye Ziyuan, lie down with me for a while." He lay down as he spoke, his whole body in the shape of a "big", spreading himself out Limbs, looked at him very calmly.

"Are you sick?" Although Ye Ziyuan said so, he still lay down with him, mumbling and complaining, "Those girls are not as hypocritical as you."

Lin Jin smiled lightly: "Thank you."

"Cough." Ye Ziyuan cleared his throat, "Why are you being polite to me?"

Lin Jin closed his eyes, his ears were pinched suddenly, Ye Ziyuan plugged in an earphone, Eason Chan sang "My memory is full of cold feelings", but at that time Lin Jin didn't feel that the snow was cold , but all the humiliation and unbearableness were completely buried at this moment.

At that time, he never thought that sooner or later the snow would melt, and when it melted, the deepest buried sharpness and truth would be exposed.

"No one I ever loved stays with me..."

As the music passed by his ears, Lin Jin felt that someone suddenly gasped him. He opened his eyes, Ye Ziyuan put one hand in his pocket, with a cigarette in his mouth, and said vaguely: "It's the middle of the night. What snow are you looking at? Frozen?"

Lin Jin rubbed her ears, the temperature was almost freezing.

Ye Ziyuan stretched out his hand, Lin Jin stuffed his hand into his palm, and was pulled to stand up by the other party: "Why are you here?"

"See what you're going crazy," Ye Ziyuan said, "I'm about to freeze to death, who was still awake when I left, and asked me if I went to find someone else."

"What did you say?" Lin Jin knew that Ye Ziyuan was talking about Ke Zhun.

"I said I came to look for you." Ye Ziyuan smiled and said, "That kid is really strict, if he hadn't had two extra drinks, who would touch him?"

"Why don't you go find Ji Cheng?" Lin Jin walked towards the community, the snow had already lightened, but it was still cold on his face.

"He won't let me move."

Lin Jin stopped suddenly: "Ye Ziyuan, are you serious?"

"What?" Ye Ziyuan obviously didn't expect Lin Jin to ask such a question, he was slightly taken aback, and then smiled sarcastically, "Why are you asking me this? Why, you want to check for me?"

"No, I was just thinking..." Lin Jin lowered his face and pressed the elevator floor number, his voice rang out in the narrow elevator space, "If you were serious, you wouldn't touch Ke Zhun .”

Ye Ziyuan said: "Some...be serious."

He paused for a moment, not knowing where he was thinking, he pulled up the corners of his mouth and smiled faintly, and said that sentence again: "He is my first love."

First love.

Lin Jin hissed, and the white mist rolled up.

Ye Ziyuan continued: "I'm not with him now, having sex with other people is not considered cheating."

Lin Jinyu paused slightly as he was about to step out of the elevator, then turned his head and gave him a cold look: "Is this your view of love?"

Ye Ziyuan actually smiled: "Why, are you helping Ji Cheng fight against injustice?"

Lin Jin didn't reply.

He took out his key and opened the door, Ye Ziyuan squeezed in after him, put out his cigarette and threw it into the trash can, and then said: "I want to eat egg noodles with tomatoes."

Lin Jin sighed inwardly, and went to beat him without complaint.

Ye Ziyuan leaned against the kitchen door, looked down at him and wrote lightly: "If Ji Cheng is willing to be with me, it's okay to quit those lovers outside for him."

Lin Jin's movements paused slightly, and the spatula in his hand almost fell to the ground without holding it firmly.

It was as if the knife that had been stuck in his heart was pushed in by Ye Ziyuan, and went in a few inches, and Lin Jin almost spattered with blood.

He really wanted to ask, did those so-called lovers include him, and felt that it was ridiculous to ask, what if it wasn't a slap in the face?

Fortunately, at the last moment, he settled down and continued to do what he was doing.

"Break everything?" Lin Jin asked softly.

"It's close." Ye Ziyuan pressed the lighter, "Add more soy sauce—of course, the premise is that Ji Cheng is so devoted to me that he has already cut off contact with that person."

"Then who?" Lin Jin picked up the noodles in the pot with chopsticks, but it wasn't completely cooked yet.

"Lin Yi," Ye Ziyuan raised his eyebrows, "Aren't you very familiar with him?"

When the name was mentioned again, Lin Jin was still stunned for a while, and didn't say a word for a long time.

It wasn't until the noodles in the pot seemed to be melting that Lin Jin scooped them up in a panic, put them into the seasoning bowl, walked outside, and asked as he walked, "You came to Ji Cheng without finding out clearly?"
