Things can always be paired successfully

Linhu found an inn to live in, and had dinner on the open-air terrace on the second floor of the inn. I ordered a romantic fish and some stir-fried vegetables.

The wind on the lake is milder and warms people's faces.

Liao Ran's hair was extraordinarily ostentatious, swaying in the wind like a ball of seaweed.

Lian Xiao picked up a piece of fish and found a bubble inside the fish. Just as he was about to pick it up for Liao Ran, he found that Lao Li's chopsticks were also stretched out.

Old Li smiled lightly: "Respect the old man."

Lian Xiao raised his eyebrows: "Aiyou."

Liao Ran looked at them like this, it was really funny: "You two might as well fight."

Lian Xiao winked at him: "I did it for your own good."

Lao Wang waved his hand: "Give it to the young people, after all, it depends on them to build the motherland."

Lao Li withdrew his hand with a smile, and spread it out: "Please go ahead."

"Okay," Lian Xiao smiled, "Thank you two brothers!"

After he finished speaking, he put the fish bubbles into Liao Ran's bowl. Liao Ran saw him smiling so much that his eyes almost narrowed into a line. He opened his mouth wide and put it in his mouth. After chewing a few mouthfuls, he said it was delicious.

After dinner, Lian Xiao and Liao Ran leaned on the edge of the roof, chatting for a while while watching the night at Lugu Lake.

"I sent the location to Sister Lan," Liao Ran said, "They have set off and are expected to arrive at 10:30."

"Have you booked a room for her yet?" Lian Xiao asked.

"Well," Liao Ran nodded, "It's booked."

Lian Xiao took a deep breath, supported the fence with both hands, and swayed back.

"Nervous?" Liao Ran smiled.

Lian Xiao nodded without denying, "It's coming, I'm really nervous."

Liao Ran put her hand on the back of his hand and touched it lightly: "I'm really nervous, I'll tell you that you're asleep tonight, and we'll see each other tomorrow."

"That's not good, she rushed over so late, and I lay down first." Lian Xiao turned his head, "And I can't sleep either."

"Then it's up to you," Liao Ran squeezed the flesh on the back of his hand, "I'll see you later."

The yard in the inn is open, and a bonfire was lit at this time.

It was cool at night, not many people went out for a walk, everyone sat around the campfire, chatting, someone found a guitar from the inn and started singing.

Lao Li lit a cigarette, looked at the smoldering bonfire, and took a puff from time to time.

Lao Wang stared at the bonfire, he really wanted to throw a few sweet potatoes into it to roast.

Liao Ran was sitting next to Lian Xiao. He saw Lian Xiao staring at the bonfire in a daze, then smiled, and borrowed the guitar after others finished singing.

Liao Ran hugged the guitar and swept the strings with his right hand, startling Lian Xiao next to him.

He came back to his senses: "You want to sing?"

"Ah."

Liao Ran glanced at him sideways, and the corner of his mouth curled up in response.

Then he opened his mouth and sang a few words a cappella, and the melody gradually picked up.

"Oh honey

I'm all about you

Oh irresistible heart palpitations

hard to breathe"

Lian Xiao liked listening to Liao Ran sing very much.

Not because he is Liao Ran, but because his voice is really nice.

Lian Xiao propped his elbows on his thighs, looked sideways at Liao Ran, his slapped lips, twitching Adam's apple, and those bright eyes, little by little, outlined one stroke after another in his own world.

"Ten thousand sorrows

there will still be dreams

I have been waiting for you in the warmest place"

Liao Ran's voice began to rise, a little hoarse and tearing. He raised his head slightly, closed his eyes, and his fingers sweeping the strings were nimble and light.

One hook after another, hit Lian Xiao's heart directly.

"It seems that only

only one direction

cannot be changed

Every tear is ten thousand rays of light

The darkest places become bright

my rushing warmth

find your ocean

I'm doomed"

Lian Xiao usually listens to songs, and doesn't pay much attention to what is sung in the lyrics. The first thing that catches his attention is often the melody of the song.

And when he was listening to Liao Ran's singing, all his attention was on Liao Ran's voice.

He could hear every word Liao Ran sang, every exhale, breath, and breath.

He had heard the song "Ten Thousand Times of Sorrow" by the escape plan before, but when Liao Ran sang it again tonight, the meaning expressed between the lines of the lyrics was slowly engraved into him like a knife. In the bones, and then more and more pain.

Liao Ran finished singing.

Everyone applauded and cheered. Not surprisingly, someone asked him to sing a few more songs.

Liao Ran smiled politely and played another melody.

Later, Lian Xiao didn't listen carefully to what Liao Ran sang, but he just recited the lyrics in his heart over and over again.

He is Liao Ran's ocean, and Liao Ran is also his ocean.

This simple bonfire playing and singing session did not become deserted as the night deepened and the air became colder, but became more lively.

More and more people came out of the room, wearing pajamas and cotton slippers, and wearing facial masks, all kinds of people.

"Let's go out for a walk."

Lian Xiao said to Liao Ran: "I feel a little bored."

"it is good."

Lian Xiao and Liao Ran walked side by side, letting the evening wind blow, the water on the lake slapped against the shore, and there was a profound echo.

"If there is a chance, I would also like to take you home." Lian Xiao said.

Liao Ran was a little surprised: "Didn't you say that your family cannot accept your coming out?"

Lian Xiao lowered his head and swallowed a cigarette, Liao Ran stretched out his hand to shield him from the wind, after lighting it, Lian Xiao put it into Liao Ran's mouth, and lit another one himself.

A cigarette is somewhat warmer.

"Well, they can't accept it," Lian Xiao took a puff and returned, "But I can't hide you forever."

I hope my love will be blessed by my family...

I don't know how many people nowadays have such thoughts, and those who have not been approved by their parents feel uneasy.

Lian Xiao felt that if Liao Ran's broken family could accept him, he also hoped that his own family could accept Liao Ran.

That's fairer.

He didn't want to hide Liao Ran in a corner and protect him so that others couldn't see him. He didn't necessarily need other people's blessings, but at least he could let his two closest people, his parents, accept Liao Ran from his heart.

He and Liao Ran are together, there is no need to hide them, their relationship is equal and open in the families of both parties.

But, can they wait until that day?

Lian Xiao really didn't know.

Liao Ran took a few puffs of cigarettes before slowly saying, "Don't worry, there will be such a day, let's take our time."

"How long?" Lian Xiao looked up at the night sky of Lugu Lake, "How long do we have to wait? One year, two years, ten years, or 20 years? I really don't want to wait, even one month, one day, one day. I can't wait for a second, I hold my breath in my heart, it's so fucking uncomfortable. I don't want to waste any time I can be with you, I just want to tell the world right now, I'm fucking with you for the rest of my life !"

Liao Ran patted Lian Xiao's back, the little wolf dog at home was emotional, he had to comfort him.

"Haven't we been together all this time?"

After Lian Xiao gradually calmed down, Liao Ran said again: "Xiao Er, there is no need to rush this matter. When you came out of the closet, the family didn't say much, which is the biggest concession for you. If you say anything more, I'm afraid It's not good."

Liao Ran patted his back again: "I want to be with you, I don't want to, but I don't want to destroy your family."

"call."

Lian Xiao raised his head and squeezed his eyes, forcing back his tears: "Okay, I'll listen to you."

The two quietly walked around the lake bit by bit until Liao Ran's phone rang.

"It's Sister Lan." Liao Ran chuckled.

Lian Xiao's heart skipped a beat, he stared at Liao Ran, and watched him pick up the phone.

"Reached?"

"Well, Lian Xiao and I are outside, we'll go back right away."

Liao Ran said a few words and hung up the phone: "Sister Lan is here, waiting for us at the door of the inn."

"Okay," Lian Xiao opened his eyes, "let's go back quickly, don't make her wait too long."

After speaking, Lian Xiao grabbed Liao Ran's arm and trotted back.

Liao Ran smiled: "What's the rush? She can't lose it."

Lian Xiao turned around and cursed: "You let your mother stand outside and wait in the cold wind!"

"She will come in by herself." Liao Ran kept laughing.

When he returned to the inn, Lian Xiao saw a tall and thin woman standing in front of the door from a distance, with a gray cotton coat on her upper body, a long black skirt underneath, a pair of black leather boots, and a small suitcase behind her.

When approaching, the woman smiled faintly at them and nodded slightly.

Her hair was tied up, and there were some wrinkles on her thin face, but it didn't affect her beauty at all, just like what Lian Xiao saw in that family photo, her facial features were exquisite and her temperament was clean.

Liao Ran is too similar to her.

Liao Ran walked up to her, hugged her, and then introduced to him: "My mother."

Pointing at him again: "This is Lian Xiao."

"Ah, hello, Auntie..."

"..."

Lian Xiao felt that his tongue suddenly weighed a thousand catties, and he was not at all comfortable. After saying hello, he didn't close his mouth quickly, like a goldfish, how stupid he looked.

Sister Lan looked at him with a smile and nodded: "Hello."

Liao Ran saw the smile on her face, although it was faint, but he hadn't seen her for a long time, he asked softly: "Have you eaten? Go back to the inn for something to eat?"

Sister Lan shook her head: "I'm tired from the car ride and don't want to eat."

"Then go back and rest first."

After finishing speaking, Liao Ran went to pull up the suitcase, turned to Lian Xiao and said, "Let's go check in."

"okay."

Lian Xiao's reaction was at least a beat slower than usual, and he couldn't step on the point at all.

He walked up in two steps in three steps, snatched the box, and whispered beside Liao Ran: "I'll do it."

"Okay." Liao Ran didn't argue with him, but watched him clumsily dragging the box forward, almost hitting the glass door.

After Lao Li and Lao Wang saw Sister Lan, they walked over very generously, enthusiastically, naturally and personably, greeted them proactively, introduced themselves, and had a brief chat with Sister Lan, instantly making Lian Xiao Miao scum.

After they sent Sister Lan back to her room, Lian Xiao finally recovered her breath.

When he saw Liao Ran smiling at him, his face blushed: "Why, how is it? Do I look weird?"

"It's pretty good," Liao Ran said with a smile, "it just looks like a donkey."

"..."
