Millennium Babylon

Lin Mu was stunned for a moment, as if he wanted to say something, but he couldn't think of a better way to say goodbye. Finally, he squeezed his knuckles, lowered his hand, and walked towards the plane, pretending that there was still a series of instrument inspection procedures after landing Unfinished, and the plane is his true home.

Only when he soars in the night sky can he be free and capable.

Besides, what was he trying to explain?What can he explain?

He finally handed over the handlebar to Raj—he used it to hunt deer in the dense forest when no one was around, so he could still find a way for his family to survive.

They don't know when the next earthquake will happen again. Until then, they have to pretend to be carefree and actively rebuild their lives.

When Lin Mu opened the hatch and climbed into the driver's seat, he suddenly heard Jimmy who had been silently following behind him all the time:

"Are you wondering how I am doing?"

There was absolutely no bitterness or shock on Jimmy's face.He laughed and climbed into the cockpit from the other side.

"Sorry—" Lin Mu took off the captain's uniform to reveal the white shirt inside and stopped him, "According to the regulations, if you don't have an aircraft pilot license, you are not allowed to enter the cockpit."

Unexpectedly, Jimmy gave him a wink slowly and slowly: "I have a C16 internship license."

He leaned over and buckled up the seat belt for the captain next to him with a snap, "But I must be supervised by a pilot with more than [-] hours of driving time. If you run away, I will break the law."

Who would have thought that Lin Mu would ask straightly, "How many months have you been intern? Has the continuous flight time met the requirements?"

He said he wanted to unbuckle his seat belt, but Jimmy quickly held it down with his sharp eyes.He cleared his throat:

"If you don't like me, you can just say it. Are you bored or bored? Give me a quick word. I will never pester you. You don't like me now, let me tell you, after passing this village-I will wait for you in the next village."

Jimmy was still smiling, but that smile made Lin Mu feel sad.

It seems that it is a winter Saturday, and the grass in the park is full of golden sunshine, but you know that the bustle has nothing to do with you.

That's when he noticed Jimmy's tiredness.

There was a layer of stubble on his chin, dark circles under his eyes, and on his forehead, there were bloodstains that had dried up for a long time.A piece of his lip was cracked, stained with sand, and he no longer had the fullness and moisture of the "Blue Velvet" rooftop pool.

"What’s wrong with you?"

Lin Mu suddenly couldn't help but asked out of concern.

In fact, not long ago, he saw Jimmy on the big news screen at the airport in Saltwater City, the capital of country K.

He was giving an international press conference at Taal Airport, a young maharaja in white, more than capable of taking over everything in the world.

But it's only been three days, and he still has a bright smile on his face, but he hides an indescribable sadness.What's wrong?

"Something happened."

"what's up?"

"I may have been careless... I deliberately entered the lair of a terrorist organization. You should have heard about the "Vulture" in the news, right? They have always had a stronghold in the northeast of Taal. But don't worry about me, later Ajit They blew up the cave and got me out, look, am I fine now?"

"The explosives are yours?" Lin Mu asked.

Jimmy didn't respond to his question for a moment.

"You also sell guns?" Lin Mu asked again, "What else do you sell? Helicopters? Tanks? Mortars?"

Jimmy suddenly understood.

He got it.

The captain knew all about the fact that he couldn't see the light.

He suddenly understood why the captain suddenly left, and suddenly no longer wanted to talk to him, and finally lost his smile suddenly.

No normal person he knew would want to live with an arms dealer, be scolded repeatedly by the international community, and finally die in a foreign land without making a sound—otherwise everyone applauds.

What's more, the captain, who has served in the three southern countries for many years, naturally knows the relationship between the arms business and the local political fluctuations and people's livelihood.The captain should be grateful that he was not arrested and brought to justice immediately with his upright manner.

"Do you...mind?" Jimmy asked in a low voice, as if asking himself.Then he smiled self-deprecatingly, "Captain, got it. I'm not good enough for you."

He didn't even dare to touch his hands, and now he sat obediently on his passenger seat and moved out cautiously, for fear of accidentally touching the trees.

His baby, the only baby he'd ever really wanted, was about to leave him, disappear into the clouds, and he couldn't even reach out and grab him and beg him to stay.

He is not qualified to pull him to sink with himself.

Jimmy was silent for a while, clutching the white shirt in his hands until his fingertips felt raw.And all he thought about was worrying about Lin Mu's self-blame.

"Lin Mu, Captain Lin, don't mind. I like you, you are not wrong. This matter has changed, and I will never appear in front of you again. You...don't mind. I'm not really a good person, But...but you are a good person. You are a really good person. I have never seen such a good person. You must not think that you are wrong. You know, crazy people, like me, There are also occasional days when I open my eyes, such as the day I met you."

"Don't you explain?" Lin Mu asked him.

Jimmy shook his head, looking at the captain who was about to leave, his outstretched hand was hanging in the air, not daring to touch it, and finally landed on the life-threatening safety belt.

Lin Mu couldn't see his lowered head clearly, but only saw him clutching his seat belt tightly and not wanting to let go, his shoulders trembling.

"Mr. Lin, I took the C16 exam before my dad passed away. After a long time, I forgot. What is this dashboard for?" Jimmy asked nasally, still unable to see his expression clearly.

"Measure height."

"What about the orange one?"

"Temperature and humidity."

"this?"

"By the wind."

"what about this?"

"Sun exposure angle."

After Lin Mu finished speaking, he looked to the other side. The sky outside the window was clear and the oasis at the end of the desert was shining brightly.He slowly unbuckled his seat belt.

"Don't…" Jimmy looked at him, "Sorry. It's okay. You'll meet better things later." He smiled.

"how about you?"

"Me?" Jimmy lost his voice, "Just leave me alone, the world is big, you can't control that much anymore. Don't worry about me. I will be fine in Tar. I will miss you occasionally, don't worry, it's not that kind think--"

The rivers and lakes are far away, no matter how advanced modern technology is, it is not enough to find an excuse to send another good morning.

From now on, his good morning will be his good night, the indulgence in his dreams, the snow that hasn't fallen for many years.

He had already decided to grow old early in the desert war.

So Jimmy smiled, shrugged his shoulders pretending to be relaxed, and stretched out his hand to smooth the tree's wrinkled white shirt.

Then he saw Lin Mu's eyes staring at him suddenly, the eyes were no longer filled with patience and peace, but... something hotter, something he had never seen before.

Lin Mu stretched out a hand, earnestly and laboriously wiped off all the sand on his lips.

Then the hand didn't take it away immediately—it stayed on his lips, rubbing it in place, and turning it around.

Jimmy gasped for breath.

Lin Mu's kisses fell overwhelmingly.

Jimmy only felt his eyes go dark, and realized that the man in the white shirt was bent over in front of him, blocking the full and bright desert sunlight outside the window.

Lin Mu's lips blocked his, but he just pressed repeatedly on his soft lips, and then sucked over and over again.

The captain's warm tongue slowly licked from the left corner of his mouth to the right corner of his mouth, as if saying a long hello, but he didn't go any further.

Jimmy thought he was crazy.

He thought that he might have suffered from post-traumatic stress syndrome just after he was rescued from danger, so he started reviewing his dreams every night in broad daylight.

It's just that this dream was particularly good this time, because it was so real that even my own body reacted: my heart became hot.

Will this dream wake up...?

Whatever it is, Jimmy said to himself, even if he just indulged in this dream and never woke up... He bit Lin Mu's lip, and pushed him away when he was panting in pain.

Facing a pair of surprised and hurt eyes, Jimmy unhurriedly unbuckled his seat belt, and Yu Yun gave him another wink.

"Yesterday I dreamed that you were on top, today it's my turn."

Jimmy pressed his captain on the back of the chair with one hand, turned over and jumped over the control stick between the two of them, and straddled him.

Lin Shu's deep sigh was swallowed in his throat, and Jimmy blocked it with a kiss.

He is not as gentle as his captain.

He tightly sucked on the captain's upper lip, biting it lightly with his teeth in protest, and then gave up suddenly after entanglement.When Lin Mu opened his eyes in confusion, Jimmy twisted his hips and pushed forward heavily.

"You've been thinking about that the other day, haven't you?" Jimmy breathed on his lips, driving his tongue straight into his mouth, quickly attacking the city, sweeping all over the sensitive parts.

He felt an electric current run through his whole body from his back, and immediately kissed the same place again, this time with more intensity, staying for a long time and refusing to leave.

Jimmy's pager rang and rang, he just thought it was the most annoying alarm clock in his dream, he pressed it off and forgot about it.

Between the kisses, Jimmy leaned over and blew on Lin Mu's ear.

At first, Lin Mu thought he was going to say something, but found that he was just teasingly blowing moisture on his earlobe, then he swallowed his earlobe in one gulp, played with the tip of his tongue twice, and let go without hesitation.

In the narrow space of the cab, Jimmy's two hands were not idle, and at some point he had already unbuttoned the top two buttons of Lin Shu's white shirt.

"Don't... people will see it."

"No, everyone on duty at this point is off work."

Jimmy was about to kiss again carelessly, but at this moment he suddenly heard the voice of the control tower calling the helicopter, and the voice echoed in the cab, as piercing as the whistle at the end of overtime in the semi-finals:

"Captain Lin, Mr. Lin, have you considered it? Our Jimmy is different from his father. He has never harmed anyone. Let me tell you—"

Aunt Aruna somehow learned to use the tower to call the terminal. She didn't know how to check the video surveillance, and she didn't know that the green light indicated the start of the call. She just kept asking Lin Mu repeatedly if she was listening.

"Hello? Captain Lin? It must be very sad to hear that you are going to transfer our Jimmy away! He has disappeared, and I couldn't reach him even if I called him on the pager just now. Poor boy... just rescued from terrorists this morning Come out... Mr. Lin, can you hear me?"

Jimmy's eyes widened and he mouthed to ask Lin Mu what was going on.

Lin Mu replied with a bunch of meaningless mouth movements, coughed into the phone, and replied: "Thank you, I'll go find him right away."

"I still want to ask you what's going on! Why did everyone ask when we registered when I returned to Taal? You tell me when we became a civil partner? This is not the case in country Y. legitimate."

Lin Mu raised his face, "You drive safely first."

Jimmy reluctantly slipped off his lap and moved back to his seat.

To comfort him, he stretched out his hand and gently smoothed the creased fabric from Lin Shu's thighs to his waist, and was patted gently on the back of Lin Shu's hand by the other party.

Jimmy explained familiarly: "Isn't it annoying to be asked? I am also very annoying, I was asked too. Isn't it just that I wrote your name on the person in charge of the backup on the disaster relief goods transfer bill. You know, Chen Yan Busy, that boy Ajit is unreliable. But they insisted that I fill in the relationship with the person in charge of the backup! What relationship can we have? Don’t you think so? We are just ordinary partnerships, partners, partners, whoever thinks of it Let them misunderstand!"

Lin Mu had an expression of "Don't pretend to me that you are not a native Londoner".

"I see you have a British passport?"

"The word "Partner" has multiple meanings! That's what I learned when I was learning English! We are not afraid of shadows, are we, Captain?"

Jimmy leaned in and ran his tongue over the side of his face like he had done to him that day in the Blue Velvet pool.

"What about you? Why did Aruna tell you that?" Jimmy asked.

"As soon as I landed, I received a call from the control tower. Aruna said you were missing. She also said..."

"What else did you say?" Jimmy thought to himself, didn't it all come out about us filling the detergent with hand sanitizer?

"She said that your father's matter has nothing to do with you. Her twin sister is the owner of "Blue Velvet". She said that you only sell things and have no lives in your hands. You can't even bear to eat a lamb, and you have raised more than 200 catties for others. .”

Lin Mu didn't repeat the part where Aruna said how obvious Jimmy had a crush on him.

She said that every time K862 took off, he would be devastated, and he had to add twice as much sugar as usual to drink milk tea, otherwise he would just feel bitter in his mouth.

Jimmy waited for a long time without making a sound.

Finally, he said, "After Edison Chan is gone, there are some clues... Anyway, I always feel that there is something strange about his illness. The group was originally managed by a professional manager, and I had to take over to investigate this matter."

"I know." Lin Mu nodded. He was ready to tell him what happened when he transported a special passenger to the airport of Country Z on the glorious Independence Day of Country Y six years ago, but before he could open his mouth, he heard Jimmy said: "This time, by accident, I actually found out who the enemy is. Edison Chan sold a batch of tanks to country Y back then, and country Z found out about it... maybe it was an assassination."

Lin Mu mulled over the question in his mind for a long time before asking cautiously, "What are your plans?"

"Of course it's someone. Find someone—"

"What are you going to do when you find someone?"

"Find someone to ask him to give me back what belongs to me. Although Edison Chan is not my real father, but... but he—"

Jimmy paused and looked at Lin Mu, "In addition to the [-] tanks on the surface, he would have sold a small reactor back then. The things were dismantled into uranium raw materials and triggers, and the deposit went through a Cayman The leather bag company in the archipelago was transferred to the Swiss bank. But after he left, I checked the whole group..."

"what happened?"

"It was found that the uranium raw material could not be found."

That night, Jimmy and Lin Shu climbed off the plane one after the other and walked across the endless runway.The moon hangs low, and a white veil is cast on the indigo night.

Lin Mu was embarrassed to be held by him, so Jimmy ran two steps to him, turned around and walked backwards.

Watching him while walking, I never get tired of watching him.

When he passed the central control outdoor corridor, he thought that Aunt Aruna would definitely be appointed by "Tal Star" next month.

By then, the disaster in country K will probably be over soon, and he will hold a spicy pot party to thank the reporters and rescuers stationed in Thar.

Then let the captain present the award to Aruna.

Jimmy drove the jeep to take the woods home. This time, he returned neither a castle nor a guest house, but a villa built by Edison Chan on the outskirts of Tar City.

The villa is usually managed by the local management team, and it is rented out to British people who come here for vacation every winter. Not only has the income and expenditure been balanced for many years, but it can even make a little money in time for the new year.

"Jimmy! How did you come—is this your friend? My God!"

The gatekeeper is over half a century old, wears the linen clothes that the people of country Y are accustomed to, smoking and drinking are indispensable on weekdays, and he has stayed in this villa for more than 20 years. Jimmy's father took him here for vacation every year when he was young, and he grew up watching him.

At this time, the janitor immediately put out the cigarette butt in his hand, and rubbed Jimmy's head in relief: "Jimmy, I finally made friends, it's not easy. You have no friends since you were young—"

"Hey, Raj!"

"His name is Raj too?"

"also?"

"I also have a friend named Raj." Lin Mu said.

"Coincidentally." Jimmy pushed him into the door, and the door was closed heavily behind him. He supported the door panel with both arms, and put Lin Shu on his chest, "Coincidentally, why do I like you so much?"

Lin Mu lowered his head and solemnly branded a kiss on his forehead.

"What? Highlight your height advantage?" Jimmy raised his eyebrows, "I'm not convinced yet."

He took Lin Mu to the master bedroom on the third floor.

The pure navy blue wallpaper is hung with pre-impressionist paintings collected by Edison Chan, and the crystal of the chandelier refracts the warm orange light into thousands of sparkling phantoms.In the middle of the room is a large carved colonial bed with curtains hanging on the bed post, which is the imitation of the living of British nobles by the craftsmen of the three southern countries.

Jimmy left the tree at the door, ran to the side of the big bed, jumped up, landed firmly in the middle of the bed, and flew out the innocent sleeping lamb.

"Oh shit, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, my baby!" Jimmy rolled over and got off the bed, knelt beside the lamb, bowed his head and confessed in one go.

The little sheep ignored him and abandoned him angrily, kicking on the floor with four legs and rushing towards the open embrace of Lin Shu at the door of the room.

Lin Mu looked at Jimmy proudly: "Tell me, will it grow up to be as dry as an old goat one day?"

"…No," Jimmy said.

Lin Mu asked again: "I didn't expect you to have such confidence in him?"

Jimmy raised his forehead: "He's a sheep!"

Lin Mu just took the sheep and checked into the guest room at the end of the corridor on the third floor.

From the window of the guest room, you can see the only lake on the edge of the Thar Desert, which is the desert oasis.

Generations of Tal had paid money, blood, and justice to find this oasis, and now it was before his eyes.The two moons, one above the lake and one below the lake, looked at each other from a distance.

Lin Mu was staring at the lake in a daze, when his mobile phone suddenly received the Wi-Fi password shared by Jimmy from the room next door, and automatically connected to the Internet.

Jimmy dug out the phone that he hadn't used in years.

Across the wall, Lin Mu only saw an iMessage dynamic image message sent over.It was drawn by Jimmy.

Many, many vertical lines are connected into houses, which is the city of night view - Taal City.There is a lake next to the city, and there is a house next to the lake. In the house, there is a stickman with a bubble on his head, thinking-thinking of another stickman.

The first stickman thought about it, and two lines of tears fell from his eyes.

After the dynamic picture is played, it will automatically cycle again.

Lin Mu watched it twice, but still couldn't help laughing again.He typed two words into the phone: hypocrisy.

Then silently delete them.

He clicked on the animated picture again, wiped his fingers, and began to draw seriously: the second stickman caught the tears of the first stickman, collected them, and then used them to water the stars in the night sky of Thar City, the stars They all bloomed.

The author has something to say:

First kiss!
