Fugue

Jaromil Candy (Note 1), this seems to be a foreign name, but it is an authentic local brand.It produces the sweetness that Ganluan loves most.Some people like to call it "Sun Moon God Sect" because of the trademark.Jaromil's trademark is a crescent moon encircling the sun. It is said that the inspiration comes from Jicheng Yaocheng on the map. Its factory and its sphere of influence also span the two cities, and its products are exported to various regions, so horizontal.A well-known and well-known person is easy to have a nickname, not to mention a weird candy factory.Later, everyone found out that Jaromil and Sun Moon God Sect are both four words, and it is equally tiring to read, and the former is not grounded and the latter is outrageous, so they just called it: "Xiao Ming".Amiable.

Xiao Ming's boss is a fake poet.His true identity should be a gustatory genius with rich blending talents. He knows what fruity flavors are best matched, strong, cold, exciting, and tender.He has a wide range of taste, he has a magic wand, just a little, the world is sweet.There should be several kinds of sweetness in the world that are unique to Jaromil and irreplaceable.Fake poets named different flavors to the major poems, and scattered obscure verses on the packaging, but almost no one bought it.

In Jicheng, two girls usually start chatting with Xiaoming, and then they have boyfriend and girlfriend with constellation blood type.

"What kind of Xiao Ming do you like to eat?"

"Well, I like the purple of the first generation the most."

"Oh, that taste is good. I tasted the black currant for the first time, and the pomelo aroma continued to smell like orange..."

"Where did you memorize the advertisement? What about you, which flavor do you like?"

"A burlesque show! The new 'Painting Book' (Note 2) series!"

Gan Luan unwrapped a box of "Bad Bloodline", which was fudge.Jaromil's "Season of Hell" series are all fudge (Note 3).Bad blood is his favorite taste, mint coat, mint heart, soft like cola in the middle, indifferent at first taste, after biting the carbonic acid taste, in the end, the broken heart lingers for a long time, controlling the taste buds.A beam of coolness poured into the throat cavity.The slightly spicy taste of bad blood, sobriety, he prefers sobriety to chaos.Ye Jing rejected the bad bloodline: "I don't like candy, my cousin...I'm going to pick him up now." He pointed to the words "bad bloodline": "Congratulations, he should have the same 'bloodline' as you, Your sugar won't be lonely anymore."

This series of candy boxes is made into a book, with the words "A Season of Hell" printed on the spine, and the sunken characters "Bad Blood" etched on the front to distinguish the taste (Jaromil candy can not specify the specific taste at will, Qualification given by fans).The crescent moon covers the cover, and the golden sun burns in it. In the background is a dead tree in the distance, entwined with vines, crossing the distance, climbing the crescent moon, and not afraid of the sun's burning.

Exquisite iron box, shaking sound lively.The packaging designer is probably a fan of compulsively mixing fakes with real ones, and made a circle of fake pages with real paper. From the outside, it looks like a miniature iron book.Gan Luan once wet a box, and after drying, the sides fluctuated like instant noodles, and the paper was very solid.Just like a real thing in a dream, staying in the dream, it is real.On the lower side of the small iron book is a brocade belt, like a bookmark rope.Gently pull it like pulling a lamp, and the paper will pop open.The title page and the candy are exposed, don’t worry, the candy will not leak out no matter how you pop it open, there is a title page blocking it.It's also real paper, overlaid on top of the plastic mechanism that delivers the candy, with a line of poetry drawn on it.The same series includes many verses, all of which are excerpts from titled poems, appearing randomly.

Today, Gan Luan actually opened a box that he had never seen before, and the handwritten elegant characters seemed to fly out of the title page hand in hand: "People who meet me on the road will see me and see nothing (Note 4)."

"This brand." Ye Jing said, "The kid we are going to meet now has something to do with this brand."

"Ok?"

"That cousin of mine was adopted. He's from Yaocheng's... orphanage." Ye Jing didn't seem to finish his sentence.The car started to slow down, and they arrived at a certain port. This area was sparsely populated. Outside the car window, there was only a silver-gray head moving over, so the target was clear.Gan Luan asked Ye Jing: "Is he going to debut soon?" So shining.The two then got out of the car to blow the air, and waited for someone to run over by the way.Ye Jing clicked on the box Gan Luan was holding in his hand: "He promised to debut and prepared for a day? One week, anyway, he finally fired his manager... One thought a day. His father spoiled him again. The person who adopted him, It's Xiao Ming's boss."

It can be seen that the silver-gray hair has been carefully trimmed and spread on the head in pieces, flaunting all kinds of handsomeness in the wind; this is perfect, no matter how messy it is, it has style.The silver-gray hair waved at them, causing a group of metals on his body to glisten, like a diamond, moving towards them dazzlingly.Gan Luan felt that he was hallucinating, for example, the silver-gray hair's hands were made of metal, so was his mouth, and his ears... When he got closer, he realized that they were rings, lip studs, and ear studs.The silver-gray hair spoke with a metallic voice: "Brother Jing!"

Ye Jing had a good temper and said with a smile, "Xiao Lizi, come and meet Gan Luan."

When Xiao Lizi saw Gan Luan, he howled "Oh my god" a few times, walked around him and then ran back, Gan Luan pointed at his face, which made him feel a little helpless.Look at Ye Jing, the old god Ye Jing is here, look at Ye Li, the running back of this kid is like a shooting star, and he disappeared in a blink of an eye.

When Ye Li reappeared, he was dragging a suitcase rumblingly, looking from a distance, it looked like a little black locomotive chasing a bunch of fluffy feathers.He changed into a suit of clothes, the beige coat was open, and inside was a sea soul shirt with a collar, the neckline was parallel to the collarbone.Paired with cropped pants and canvas shoes, a thin ankle is exposed, and the whole body is refreshing.The unidentified metal objects are gone (except for the mouth and ears), Xiaolizi's hair is soft, his expression is swaying, and his overall age has decreased by ten years. He can directly hug his aunt's thigh, stick his head out and ask the strange uncle stupidly, "Who are you and why do you want to be so cute?" Give me candy" (Auntie: You are shei again!).

The person in front of him had a pair of pale eyes, which were brightened by the light, and there were a few citrus scents in the air.A hint of citrus fragrance in the gust of leaflets.He blinked his lake-like eyes at Gan Luan, and said, "May I help you with a haircut?"

Ye Jing: "Shouldn't you introduce yourself first?"

"Hi, my name is Ye Li." He stretched out his hand, "My dream is to be a detective!"

Ye Jing's faint words came from the wind: "Don't pay attention to him, get in the car, let's go."

Ye Li squatted down and hugged the box: "Obviously you asked me to assist him in investigating the case, why don't you let me act more professionally!"

"You can just stay with him. Compared with your brain, I like his brain more. Besides..." Ye Jing bent down, raised his fingertips, perpendicular to Ye Li's jaw line, Ye Li raised his head slightly, Ye Li Jing's black hair was shattered in the wind, strands together with silver gray: "You will be exposed, my dear."

Ye Li knocked off Ye Jing's paw: "Straight men are forbidden to flirt with GAY!"

They got into the car, and Ye Li sat in the back seat, wrapping his arms around the driver's neck: "You are so unforgivably sinful, I curse you for not being able to marry a wife."

Gan Luan crushed a piece of candy: "What! Isn't Ye Jing GAY?!"

"Ahem..." Ye Li let go of Ye Jing, moved to the middle, and started staring at Gan Luan's...hair.Ye Jing's voice came through the gap: "Do I look crooked?"

Ye Li retracted and said, "Generally, it should be bent like Yaocheng."

"No, it's not." Gan Luan explained: "If there are two roads, one is a garden path, and the other is a skeleton crawling snake, what about you?" He said seriously, "It looks like the kind of person who would choose the skeleton crawling snake. "

Ye Jing: "Are you trying to call me a masochist?"

Gan Luan: "Is this the logic?"

Ye Jing: "Then what logic do you use to judge that I belong to the Skull School?" Gan Luan broke down: "Don't be so serious, okay!" Ye Jing glanced at the back seat: "The Skull School is the one who eats metal every day. Put you Take off your lip studs and ear studs, or I won't kiss you."

Ye Li began to pinch Ye Jing again: "Straight man flirting with GAY! He deserves death! He should be executed! Defeat!"

"I can't see the way..." At that moment, Gan Luan and Ye Jing met eyes, realizing that they both regarded Ye Li as a child.

"Then do you want to get married and have children?" Gan Luan's imagination died at this moment.

Ye Jing, who was freed, shrugged: "I can't say anything about this kind of thing, because I can't even foresee today's dinner."

Ye Li said: My lip nails are very shiny, that is my love.My studs are sharp and that's more my love.

When he said this, the sunlight fell on his face, the little sun on his lower lip seemed to be alive, shining with the words, while the crescent moon on his right ear sank in the shadows, as if shyly dodging.

Gan Luan asked him, why is it the sun and the moon, has it always been the sun and the moon?Ye Li said: "Yes. To express my love for my father!" He slapped his chest with bold words.Gan Luan asked Ye Jing half-jokingly: "Is Xiao Ming's boss a handsome gay?"

"No." Ye Jing looked at the road ahead, the corners of his mouth flattened into a line, and suddenly changed his tone: "What I want to say is, buddy, that old gentleman is just a bad old man who speaks a translator." The people in the back seat rolled , slapping his palms: "It's really like it! It's like it! I love you!"

Jaromil owns many industries, among which there is a dessert chain called "Jaromil's House" and a toy brand called "Xavier's Dream" (Note 5).The latter has free custom services, and Gan Luan was brought there, semi-compulsively.

The receptionist is like a preschool teacher, and he is persuasive: "Whatever you think in your heart, as long as you say it, we can make it come true for you." It's like making a wish.Gan Luan lowered his eyes: "It's a cage with a lock, and there's a dead body inside." That was the first time he stimulated his little aunt, he didn't like to be forced, and the little aunt combed him many times as if targeting knotted hair. .In the end, Gan Luan really got a soft cage with a small cotton love lock, and an angel who closed his eyes and prayed lived inside.The angel was lying on his back, and his peaceful expression and soft hair could be glimpsed through the cracks in the railing.The pair of wings were lifelike, Gan Luan once picked up feathers on the ground, as if an angel was alive, and shed troublesomely.Ah, like a pet, like a pet that he holds firmly and only recognizes him as his master.Although he was reluctant at the beginning and the process was a bit weird, he unexpectedly liked the ending.

Boss Xiao Ming's gossip, Ye Jing said intermittently later, was like telling a story, as if the bad old man was a person who was out of the world, like the words on the front and back of a book page, close at hand but out of reach.He told his story, but didn't want to admit that the man really existed.In addition to the translator's tone, he only gave one additional evaluation: "That old man is terrible... Those who can completely subvert themselves are terrible people."

On the opening day of the first store in Jaromil's hut, owner Xiao Ming lost his wife and son.He was on the positive side, and if he wanted to live in the negative side, he changed completely.Since then, when Jaromil's candy released a new series, he would have a new lover whose name must be related to that new series name. He always called them by nicknames. For example, when "Season Hell" was released, he My little baby is called "Xiaoyiyi", my little baby's baby dog ​​is called "Monsoon", and the apartment I prepared for my little baby is, sorry, called "Hell".If he wants to see Xiao Yiyi, he will say to his assistant: "Tonight I will spend the night in hell."... He has never decided on a new relative, whether it is a wife or a child.Until Xavier started dreaming, that is, when the toy brand was established, he adopted Yeri.

After twisting Ye Li into a tail and connecting it to Gan Luan, Ye Jing parted ways with them and went their separate ways.The two were thrown at the entrance of the "Xavier's Dream" main store. Before leaving, Ye Jing asked if there was anything else to explain, and Gan Luan said: The sooner the better.Ye Jing raised the paper tube, stuffed it into his bosom, lifted it up the car window and slid out.

The main store is grand, and the stores are as long as a street.The colorful tiles at the entrance of the store are as bright as the surface of water, and the wind and newly fallen leaves occasionally appear.There is a row of benches not far away. Parents are scattered around the benches, occasionally chatting politely. The children are swimming in the colors. return.

Ye Li looked at everyone in a daze, and Gan Luan found that there were only a few new spam text messages on the phone.Suddenly someone spoke from behind: "Is this the young master's friend?" A respectful clerk appeared.Ye Li immediately said hi, and put his arms around Gan Luan's shoulders: "This is my elder brother!" The clerk said kindly: "Okay, young master." He smiled at Gan Luan: "Good afternoon, young master." Gan Luan was stunned .

"Do you have any orders, or just take a look."

"Let's order toys! I'll give you a set!" After speaking, Gan Luan rushed in, Gan Luan didn't even have time to say "Why do I want toys", Ye Li, the little locomotive, took him to drive Enter the VIP reception room. "Xavier's Dream" is a magical place, every time Gan Luan comes here reluctantly, but sincerely moves up, like a thermometer meeting fire.The line of the preschool clerk is the same as before: "Whatever is on your mind, as long as you say it, we can make it happen for you." This sentence is magical, and Gan Luan lowered his eyes: "Rainbow."

"We can design something richer, if you allow us to surprise you."

Ye Li was messing around with his suitcase, Gan Luan shook his head: "No, you can remember it. I don't need surprises. The material should be made of soft plush, like this." He picked up the little mushroom doll beside him, lightly With a light pinch, the mushroom shrank into the palm of the hand, let go, and bounced back to its original position. "It's the color of the rainbow, not the rainbow. It's made...cabbage. From childhood to adulthood, there are seven of the same color. Seven cabbages." He waited for the preschool clerk to make a record. Drawing circles on the table, his gaze switched from time to time as he slowly closed his eyes, from fingertips to clerks.The preschool clerk mistyped several words, sat up straight and cleared his throat: "Is there any more?"

"It can be peeled off, and the structure is the same as that of a real cabbage, is it okay?"

Preschool education is no longer preschool education, and the clerk, like a shy toddler, stammered: "Yes, it should be fine."

Gan Luan nodded: "Thank you. The biggest one should be the same color as the real cabbage. You can figure out the other colors. There are seven in total. Please try to restore them as much as possible."

"We will definitely do our best." The clerk twisted his chair, almost unable to sit still, but Gan Luan said, "I still need another one, there are some changes, please remember again, um, this one has to be packaged separately..."

……

When the clerk wanted to stand up again, Ye Li rushed over again, hugging Gan Luan's neck: "There are mine!" The clerk seemed to be dying, "Uh..." and his chest fell: "Please tell me. "

"Make a humanoid doll..." Ye Li described it for a long time, then sent a photo to the shop assistant with his mobile phone, and finally said, "I want him to be a mushroom head." Gan Luan listened: "...Is that Ye Jing?" ?" Ye Li giggled, touching the earrings: "You found out."

##

There are many reasons why Gan Xiao's funeral was not held in the old house. For example, some people may not come because they don't want to climb the mountain. The scene is too deserted, which makes Gan's house ugly.Is it hard to see that this matter has nothing to do with Gan Xiao, and be careful that this funeral is only about themselves.Funerals are actually a matter of the living.

The site they set was on a high place (still had to climb).Gan Luan climbed up the steps with hair as broken as ink. Under the sun, the moist hair had a deep blue color. If you don't pay attention, you won't notice it. Once you pay attention, it's like falling into the deep sea.This is Ye Li's good workmanship.On the day of ordering the toy, Gan Luan was taken to a deeper room, where there was a large mirror, a leather swivel chair, several cabinets of bottles and cans, and a pale fragrance.Ye Li opened the suitcase and took out a row of shiny tools. The sound of scissors clicking inevitably reminded him of Gan Lan.Later, Ye Li was lying on the back of the chair, with a cold light shining between her fingers, her eyes were intent on bewitching Gan Luan, like a demon fox.He pointed to his hair: the buddy who made this hairstyle for me is probably a little worse than me.How about a new hairstyle?Gan Luan stayed where he was, "You did Ye Jing's hair?"

"Yes."

"Do you want to cut his mushroom head next time?"

"Yes!"

"He is not easy to deal with."

"Too."

"I can put him to sleep sitting up, as long as I say a few words." By the time he realized it, the words had been finished.This sentence is like the foam splashed by a waterfall. After a few bubbles, it will be exhausted.It did exist visually, but only the moment of witnessing can prove it, but that is also its disappearance.The soft seat brought Gan Luan back to his senses again, and Ye Li repeated in his ear: "It's agreed, let's give him a mushroom head next time, you're responsible for putting him to sleep, and I'll do the rest. "

After saying a few words, Ye Jing fell asleep.Consciously, this happened as a matter of course.But he couldn't prove it.

Ye Li asked him: "Any ideas, the color." He pointed to his hair.

Gan Luan raised his eyes: "What do you think of me?"

……

On the day of Gan Xiao's funeral, the sun was pale, and Ye Li hugged a black and white humanoid doll, with the silent Gan Luan in front of him.The doll's mushroom head seemed to have real hair, while Gan Luan's hair was as black as fake.Ye Li's hair color is lighter than that of the day when he first met, hiding the faint gold, the dark green covering his pale eyes, and the exquisite facial features make shift deeply.He is like a scented trap.

Gan Luan's silence was not mourning, but brewing.He was thinking about how to seize the opportunity to ask about the three fake moles that confused him a few days ago.When he finished the last flight of stairs, he suddenly jumped out of his imagination.Ah... I see, there are them.How could he forget that Gan Xiao's world is much richer than his.

In the corner of the funeral hall, there are a bunch of beauties with red eyes and sparkling.They have their own charms, but share imperceptible similarities.It is a mole, a beautiful mole on the cheek, between the forehead and the corner of the mouth.This is Gan Xiao's harem.In Gan Luan's eyes, these beauties all have blurred faces, they all look like toothpaste, and they are sunken. Gan Luan is only worried about how to get them to squeeze out some useful information.He picked the one who cried the most: "You...comrade, please speak softly."

"Gan, Gan Luan." Crying loudly, Xiaomei became dumb after shouting.

Hearing the sound, the other little beauties looked over in surprise. Seeing Ye Li, they seemed quite curious. Ye Li held up the puppet: "Hello, I'm Brother Mushroom Head Jing!"

"You all know me?" Gan Luan said, "Well, do you know that the three moles under Gan Xiao's left eye are fake?"

Obviously, all but one of them knew nothing about it.And the one who knows is very recognizable because his anger is undisguised.Angry, Xiaomei stood up, stared red-eyed, and pointed at Gan Luan: "Indecent! Indecent! I thought you were indecent! He stares at you every day... He said that only, only the person he loves the most knows about this matter." thing!"

Gan Luan just seemed to have a good temper, his sneer made the temperature froze, "Oh?" Ye Li helped him drag a chair, he sat down, and looked at people from the bottom up at an oblique angle: "Then you How do you know?"

In front of Gan Luan's indifference, probably everyone has the instinct to stutter, and the angry little beauty leaks her confidence, and her speech is like a falling ball: "What else can I do, steal, eavesdrop."

"Mole?" Unintentionally planting a willow, not expecting to catch a big fish, the little aunt came over with a graceful manner, and gently put her on Gan Luan's shoulder: "That's not Gan Xiao's mole, even I know it." Pai Xiaomei is Gan Xu's mirror, Gan Luan can know the color of his little aunt's contempt without looking back: "As for his favorite, I don't dare to be it."

There was a sudden movement on the phone, it was Ye Jing.Gan Luan had to answer this call, so he had to stay away from the smoke that had just ignited.Before leaving, Gan Luan patted Ye Li, the doll in Ye Li's hand nodded and bowed, Ye Li was like a half-grown child, without any threat.

Ever since they received the file tube and Ye Jing left with the pile of documents, they haven't contacted him again.Gan Luan found another feng shui place where he could watch all directions and listen to all directions, and answered the phone: "Any news about Bian You?"

"No progress at this time."

"What about Gan Lan?"

"Congratulations, everything is ready."

Gan Luan raised his eyes sideways to look at the approaching person, and looked away.He touched the corner of his mouth, as if to smooth out the non-existent creases, "Don't congratulate me, I have nothing to be happy about. But my uncles and aunts, I envy them that they can still get surprises in their twilight life."

"Come here now. Bring the people who should arrive, the documents, and the written ending... No, let Gan Lan continue to rest, he doesn't come." The wind rose.Gan Luan's forehead hair was swept back, revealing the deep brow bone.It was windy, and he stood at the top of the steps, facing the wind, with his eyes slightly closed.The sun was as pale as frost and snow, his hair was like the deep sea, and his eyes were as dark as abysses.He said: "I'm waiting for you," Yin Yue and Bo Ri hid in the far sky, and the sun and moon shine together.

"Let us, at Gan Xiao's curtain call ceremony, bring them... a new chapter in their lives."

Gan Xian's rare expression was unstable, and Gan Xu was still cowering. Gan Xu looked around and found that Gan Luan was not there.Only Gan Xian spoke: "What?! What Gan Lan?! Please speak clearly!" The voice was so sharp that it would pierce the curtain.
