The residual temperature is over

When you come to Japan, how can you not visit temples? The next day's itinerary is to go to temples.

First go up the mountain along the 81-step stone ladder, and then come to the empty quiet room of the temple, sit on the cushion and drink a cup of matcha prepared by the abbot here.

The light sifted through the eaves and sprinkled on the long corridor. There were whispers from some tourists outside, but there were no voices or other people in the quiet room. There was only slightly bitter tea, which exudes a touch of sweetness in the mouth.

Both Yu Shiye and Wen Bieyu's mobile phones were placed in the cabinet outside. There is a rule in this quiet room that no electronic devices can be brought in. If you wish to sit here, you can enjoy a moment of complete peace.

I was a little unaccustomed to not having a mobile phone at first, but later I really realized the feeling of being in the mountains and far away from the world.

"This place is nice." Yu Shiye whispered to Wen Bieyu, "When I came up, I saw many young men and women. Is this a temple for marriage?"

"All temples in Japan can ask for marriage. It's just that it is more famous. A famous writer once wrote a love story here that was a big success. Because of this, he married a reader who came here because of his name. They love each other until they grow old, so Everyone believes that there are gods here to protect you." Wen Bieyu also explained in a low voice, and then suggested, "It's all here, should we go down and have a try later?"

The eyes of the people around him cast their gazes over.

Wen Bieyu added calmly: "Our marriage after divorce."

Yu Shiye came to his senses, and said with a smile: "It's time to plan ahead, and hope to find a good marriage."

"It's a bit strange for you to say that, as if you have no confidence."

"Someone once told me very coldly that love has a shelf life." Yu Shiye smiled slightly, the smile on the corner of his mouth was a bit strange, it was like mockery, boredom, and with some tired ashes, "I I sneered at his declaration and always hoped to find an opportunity to refute his fallacies, but... But what is strange is that when I was looking for what I think is the correct view of love, I disproved his view of love. "

The ashes rolled up and wiped out the boredom and mockery at the corners of Yu Shiye's mouth, leaving only the indifference that no one could see through.

Wen Bieyu didn't know who said this sentence to Yu Shiye, but he could see that Yu Shiye was very repulsed by this sentence, and maybe also the person who said it.He comforted Yu Shiye, and he didn't agree with this point of view: "You just didn't meet the right person."

"Really?" Yu Shiye chewed Wen Bieyu's words, "What is the right person?"

"We are in a huge garden. There are many flowers in the garden, some are delicate and charming, and some are elegant and light. There are many flowers, but the heart is very small. Only that one really belongs to you. You are lucky to find it, hold it, Move it into your heart. Water it with love, take care of it, care for it, watch it stretch its young leaves and bloom its buds..."

All the way up to this point, Wen Bieyu paused for a long time before continuing.

"One day, all the splendor will fade, and the flowers will bear fruit, and that is the one and only heart it dedicated to you."

After these words were finished, the quiet room was truly silent, and even the sound of breathing seemed to be inaudible.

Until Yu Shiye softly broke the silence.

"You're quite right. I didn't meet the flower. And you, did you?"

Wen Bieyu's throat rolled, as if he wanted to say something.

Yu Shiye understood the expression, he asked the other party.

"Is it your ex-husband?"

The slight rolling subsided, Wen Bieyu admitted after a short silence.

"Yes."

"The first time you said you came here was with him, right?"

Wen Bieyu asked the other party: "Didn't you make an appointment with me for three chapters and not talk about your ex-husband?"

Yu Shiye was reminded by someone before he remembered: "It's just a matter of time..."

Wen Bieyu smiled subtly, as if accepting Yu Shiye's explanation.

"I... and he did come together." Wen Bieyu seemed to be continuing to answer the previous question, paused for a moment, and then said, "We once asked for marriage, and it was signed."

He turned his head and stared at Yu Shiye, his eyebrows and eyes softened.

"We are all very happy."

Yu Shiye heard the emotion in Wen Bieyu's words.

This person is very important to Wen Bieyu.He thought, he caught a glimpse of the plum tree in the courtyard unexpectedly, and immediately tasted the plum.

Maybe it was because the atmosphere was just right, or maybe it was because the two finally regained a little familiarity, it was the first time Yu Shiye took the initiative to ask Wen Bieyu about these years.

"I never asked, why did you and him leave?"

Wen Bieyu looked away.He didn't answer for a long time, until finally, he said something softly.

"... Maybe fate is not enough."

The wind that crossed the hall also stopped melancholy in the empty room.

This melancholy reminded Yu Shiye of himself, and he laughed at himself: "We have also asked for a lottery, and it is also signed, so it can be seen that things like asking for a lottery are mostly ineffective."

"Even if I know it won't work, I still want to ask..." Wen Bieyu paused, "You have to have something to look forward to, what if?"

Yu Shiye originally wanted to break this silent atmosphere by laughing at himself, but the more he chatted, the more sad the atmosphere became.Yu Shiye was so sad that he wanted to hug Wen Bieyu to keep warm.

But I really can't hug, because if I hug, something will happen.

Yu Shiye decided to interrupt this by telling some jokes: "Do you know why I am so sensitive to your ex-husband?"

Wen Bieyu: "Why?"

Yu Shiye sighed: "It's nothing else, why did you talk about your ex-husband when we were sleeping together? It sounded like a ghost story to me."

Wen Bieyu said coolly: "Then do you know why I said ex-husband?"

Yu Shiye was quite puzzled: "Why?"

Wen Bieyu: "Who told someone to put his ex-boyfriend's ring on my hand as soon as we met? This is called reciprocity."

Yu Shiye suddenly realized that the root cause came from here.

But this was really not intentional, he explained to Wen Bieyu a little aggrieved: "I'm afraid you will find it troublesome... I also thought you wouldn't care."

"I don't care." Wen Bieyu finished lightly, and added another sentence, coaxing people, "I don't blame you, don't think too much."

"Oh..." Yu Shiye pretended to be coaxed.

Wen Bieyu wisely changed the subject and mentioned something that he had always cared about: "When we met again, I was very surprised when I saw you outside the church."

"I think..." he commented, "I saw a stranger."

"Maybe it's because we haven't seen each other for too long." Yu Shiye suppressed his smile and sighed.

"Maybe." Wen Bieyu smiled, "Maybe it's my problem. For a while, I can't accept it."

"Actually, it's good to meet again. Although it's been a long time, I still feel..."

It has been nine years, even if they haven't seen each other for such a long time, as long as they are willing, the relationship between the two is still so relaxed and compatible.Maybe... maybe until now, Wen Bieyu is still the one who knows him best.

Yu Shiye thought in his heart, and couldn't help answering:

"I think you're the one who understands me."

After the words were out of his mouth, he consciously slipped his tongue, and quickly changed the subject: "Since you felt like a stranger when we met again, why did you agree to my request for a fake marriage and help me?"

"How could it be possible to ignore your death?" Wen Bieyu replied flatly.

You are not someone else, you are Yu Shiye.

***

Yu Shiye and Wen Bieyu left the quiet room after the light that secretly shone on the wooden floor also left along with the flow of people outside.They took back their mobile phones from the cabinet, looked at the dense information on it, and came to the world again in a daze.

As they said before, they came to the place where they were seeking marriage in the temple, in front of a huge red maple plant halfway up the mountain.

The sprawling crimson color dyed the sky, like clusters of flames burning in the sky, also like...

Yu Shiye looked away: "Why is there such a big red maple tree here, and there are so many wooden signs hanging on it?"

Wen Bieyu explained: "This is the place to seek marriage. Men and women who want marriage first take a wooden sign tied with a red string, then close their eyes in front of the marriage stone, and walk all the way to the marriage tree. If you tie the wooden card in your hand to a tree branch, you can get your wish come true and get married."

Yu Shiye: "So that's how it is... Go and try it. I'm not very interested in this blindfolded game."

Wen Bieyu looked at Yu Shiye suspiciously, but didn't ask too many questions.According to the plan, he went forward to get a wooden sign, made his wish on the wooden sign, and then came to the position of the marriage stone facing the red maple, closed his eyes, and started walking.

Although he knew in his heart that the road ahead was smooth, he still walked cautiously and cautiously. This is generally the case for people who suddenly lose their eyesight.

Although Yu Shiye didn't want to see the huge red maple tree, but he was still paying attention to Wen Bieyu's movements.

When he saw Wen Bieyu walking forward cautiously, even a little hesitantly, he took a few steps forward, all the way to the red maple tree, with his back to the maple tree and Wen Bieyu's face, maintaining a man who only saw people and A pose that does not glimpse superfluous things.

He told Wen Bieyu:

"Go forward boldly, I will watch here, and I will remind you if you go astray."

The person with eyes closed paused for a while, and when he took another step, his steps were indeed much bolder.

It's just that when one's eyes are closed, the sense of direction really loses its effect. Yu Shiye watched Wen Bieyu slant to the left for a while, slanted to the right for a while, walking in large and small wavy lines, and finally successfully slanted out. With several degrees of oblique angle, he leaned steadily in front of him, and he only needed to take another step, and he would be able to step into his arms accurately.

Although there is also a maple tree in the back, and there are branches for hanging wooden signs, but Yu Shiye still felt that he should remind Wen Bieyu, when he was about to speak...Wen Bieyu stopped first, as if he knew someone was in front of him, and slightly With a late question:

"Yu Shiye? Are you in front of me?"

"Well, I'm here." Yu Shiye replied.

"I have a feeling." Wen Bieyu explained, "Which way do you turn now?"

"To your right, you don't need to turn too much, just turn 30°."

Wen Bieyu complied.He turned around, more so that he missed the lowest hanging branch of the maple and had to face a branch that was much taller than he was.

Yu Shiye was hesitating whether to remind him, when Wen Bieyu raised his arm and touched the sky, his fingertips just touched the wooden sign hanging under the tree branch, now, the person with closed eyes confirmed the correct direction.He stomped his feet, touched it little by little, and found an empty space accurately, then raised his other arm, and tied the red rope with the wooden sign on the branch.

The branches are quite high, it's nothing to just grab it, and it's not easy to tie something to it.

Wen Bieyu's feet were getting higher and higher, and he staggered halfway. Yu Shiye, who was a little concerned, saw it at a glance, and hurried forward, and supported the man's shoulders from behind: "Be careful."

Perhaps because he knew Yu Shiye was by his side before, this time Wen Bieyu, who was supported from behind, naturally accepted this position.He asked Yu Shiye: "Is the red thread tied to the branch?"

Yu Shiye paused for a moment, then quickly glanced at the top of his head: "Well...not tied."

So Wen Bieyu tried to work hard for a while, and then asked: "Is it all right now?"

Yu Shiye had no choice but to look up again.

It was hard to tell whether it was successful or not, so Yu Shiye stared at it for a long time.During this process, those clustered reds inevitably entered his sight.He was a little impatient looking at these, so he focused his eyes on Wen Bieyu's hands.

"...Still not, a little lower, there is just a branch over there that can hook the red line. Yes, that's it..."

Seeing that the red line of the wooden sign in Wen Bieyu's hand finally hooked up to the branch, Yu Shiye breathed a long sigh of relief, and was about to continue to guide, when he suddenly noticed some movement above his head, followed by a look, and saw a piece of red maple leaving the branch, Swaying and swinging downward.

The golden light at dusk penetrates the dense leaves and hits the fallen leaves, igniting the red into gold, like a red fire, releasing golden light...

Because the leaf was floating in his direction, Yu Shiye looked at it for a while, but the voice close to his ear didn't respond in time, causing the person in his arms to turn around suddenly.

"……What are you looking at?"

Yu Shiye suddenly came back to his senses.He met Wen Bieyu's gaze and noticed that the sign in the opponent's hand had already been hung on a tree branch. Only then did he realize that he had actually looked at a color he didn't like for so long without feeling much discomfort.

He glanced at Maple Leaf again, and turned to Wen Bieyu.

He found a familiar way of facing his fears... albeit in the past tense.

"Bie Yu, go somewhere with me."

"where?"

"Fenglin. Let's go to Fenglin to see the maple leaves."

***

The feeling of being in a maple forest is completely different from the feeling of standing in front of a maple tree.

The sky and the earth were cut into three colors, the sky was deep red, the ground was orange red, and there were some dark brown tree trunks in the middle, but there was still a layer of red mist around the tree trunks, like a big net, quietly appearing, quietly. Gathering noiselessly—until it is like a bag, into which people are put.

When Yu Shiye found out, he already felt a deep chill.

Autumn is always cold, and this kind of coolness seems to seep out from the body. It is not very intense, but very long, like a piece of cloth that can't be pulled out.

"...Are you not feeling well?"

Wen Bieyu next to him asked this question.

This is a bench by the side of the road, and they sit side by side on the bench.

Yu Shiye didn't turn his head, his eyes were fixed on a spot in front of him, Hong Feng had some ghosts in his sight, and he forced himself to face and accept it.

"...Well. I'm a little cold, maybe I caught a cold by accident."

A hand reached out and touched his forehead lightly.

"You are sweating coldly." Wen Bieyu said again.

"Really? Then maybe I have a bad cold. I just came to Japan, so I'll just go back and soak in the hot springs." Yu Shiye replied again, speaking clearly.

A coat that was still warm fell on Yu Shiye's shoulders, and when it fell, the coat slid down, and the meager temperature just approached, and then walked away.

Yu Shiye felt calmly, he was like a person in a tug-of-war, with himself at one end and himself at the other end.

But the self at this end is the present self, and the self at the other end is the past self, the self that should be changed and defeated.

He worked hard and wrestled until the fallen clothes were picked up again and put on his shoulders again. Wen Bieyu's hands and body came with this clothes.

Wen Bieyu hugged him sideways.

"Wear more." Wen Bieyu said, "It happens that I'm also a little cold, so it's warmer."

Yu Shiye was startled, he looked at Wen Bieyu sideways, a little dazed at first, then suddenly woke up, like a dreamer waking up from a dream, the constant clamminess disappeared, his past self disappeared, the sky was full of red The fog sank to the ground and disappeared, and the red maple trees became a red maple forest again.

His body began to warm up, the warmth came from Wen Bieyu, the continuous heat was transmitted from the opponent's arm, from the opponent's body, like magic, it wiped away the trembling on his hands.

So his frozen heart also melted a corner because of this temperature.

Yu Shiye suddenly wanted to tell, so he smiled slightly and said to Wen Bieyu.

"Actually..." His expression was relaxed, as if he was making a harmless joke, "You know what? I kind of hate red, this kind of dark color, sometimes it makes people feel sick. But—"

There was some teasing in the other party's tone, and he spoke very lightly, as if he was chatting about some innocuous jokes during the afternoon tea break.

But it's not a joke, it's true.

This person has always been like this in the past. The more nervous he is, the more he wants to ignore it, and the more difficult he is, the more he wants to challenge himself.

Yu Shiye used this attitude to deceive many people, and now he is also using it to deceive him.

Wen Bieyu associates red with blood, car accidents, and even scarier ones.But no matter what he was thinking or worrying about, he didn't show it.

He buried his face into Yu Shiye's shoulder, covering up the dejection caused by Qiu Yixiao.He already knew the truth about the tip of the iceberg, and it only made it more desirable to see the whole thing.

His heart made him go directly to question Yu Shiye, but his reason stopped him.

It is useless to do so, and there will be no results. Only when facing Yu Shiye who put down his defenses, can words have meaning.

A slight tingling pain came out of Wen Bieyu's body, it was not severe, it was like the feeling of being pricked by a needle on a fingertip, but this feeling was always stuck in his heart, making it uncomfortable.He laughed twice, waiting for Yu Shiye's next words.

"However, looking at it now, I feel that although the maple leaf forest in front of me is red, it is still quite beautiful. It has life and vitality, with a warm and dry power, like..."

Yu Shiye's eyes fell on Wen Bieyu.

The opponent's face was buried on his shoulder, and he couldn't see his movements, so he raised his hand, and it rested on Wen Bieyu's shoulder vaguely, without dropping it.

He responded to the hug, but didn't let Wen Bieyu find out.

There is also a sentence, which is also hidden in the bottom of my heart, and no one finds it.

This dry and warm force is like your body temperature.

Yu Shiye hung his hand for a while, ready to take it back, but before he could move, Wen Bieyu grabbed his wrist first.

Wen Bieyu still buried his head on Yu Shiye's shoulder, and didn't intend to raise his face, but he seemed to have eyes behind his back, and accurately and firmly grasped Yu Shiye's hand, and placed it on his body.

"Just leave it like this." Wen Bieyu.

"Hmm..." Yu Shiye wanted to say something.

"Leave it alone." Wen Bieyu was a little fierce.

Yu Shiye didn't speak anymore.He put his hand on the opponent, the dry force seemed to come to his palm, he took a deep breath, the temperature wrapped around his body surface, along with the air, entered the body, burning hot A little spark came up and burned him a bit.
