light adaptation

Bi Qian has an impromptu meeting in the evening, the third year of high school is about to start, and the teaching and research team has been very busy recently.

Both Xu Yun and Ning Zhanmei had never been in the kitchen, and Bi Qiannian did not expect anyone to help when he invited someone to eat at home.He took the photo album back to Bi Qian's room, asked the two of them to go to the kitchen to prepare dinner.

The door closed, Ning Zhanmei sat at the desk in a daze.

He finished reading Qiannian's two thick photo albums, most of which were happy and memorable things, which was why he was photographed and recorded.However, he still easily realized Bi Qiannian's difficulty in growing up through the past ten years and the thin seal paper of the album.

The photos were stored in the five-inch wide time machine in chronological order, and Ning Zhanmei used this to watch Bi Qiannian's life from afar.

Watching the person he likes slowly grow taller from a smirking meat dumpling, first stepping on a small bench to wash dishes, and then getting a little thinner, and then winning an award, laughing out those two gentle dimples that he is all too familiar with .He felt inexplicably happy, as if he knew Bi Qiannian better because of this, and they got closer.

However, the sourness in it is hard to ignore.

Xu Yun got off the bed, and Bi Qiannian and Ning Zhanmei were at the table looking at the photo album all afternoon, and he finished the manga while listening to the two of them talking.

He sat where Bi Qiannian had just sat, and tapped his fingers on the table habitually.Ning Zhan raised his eyebrows and looked at him.

Although the two of them didn't grow up together, they see each other every winter and Chinese New Year, watching each other grow up year by year, and they actually know each other very well.

"Like him?" Xu Yun cut to the point and asked him with a slight frown.

Ning Zhanmei knew that Xu Yun had probably noticed that he was as keen as himself, but he didn't want him to be so direct.Ning Zhanmei didn't evade, and hummed.

"I realized it some time ago," Ning Zhanmei added, "but I feel that I like it for a long time..."

"How long have you known him?" Xu Yun replied, "What plan?"

"I also thought about it, how did I fall in love. It's the first time I like someone... Don't think it's fun for me to like someone." Ning Zhanmei was dissatisfied with Xu Yun's distrustful tone, "I just fell in love, I can't explain clearly, Looking back on the details of getting along this month, I think he likes everything."

He glanced at Xu Yun, hoping to gain an understanding of his ignorant and strong liking, "Can you understand?"

The two of them are not embarrassed when they chat, they are both smart and sensitive people. Although Ning Zhanmei often dislikes Xu Yun's indifference and dullness, Xu Yun also can't understand Ning Zhanmei's lazy and out-of-the-ordinary appearance. In fact, the two of them communicated There is a tacit understanding, and it goes without saying.

Xu Yun shook his head sincerely, he didn't understand.

"It's not important," Xu Yun said lightly, as if his adolescent love had nothing to do with his maturity and indifference, "Qian Nian is likable, I'm not surprised whoever likes him, you don't need to argue with me about this."

Ning Zhanmei didn't respond, as if he agreed.Xu Yun asked him again, "Then what are your plans?"

Although they didn't specify it, both of them knew that what they were asking was not how to deal with this relationship, nor was it a choice to pursue or wait and see. He knew Ning Zhanmei, and he was asking how Ning Zhanmei planned to pursue her.

Ning Zhanmei was actually a little distressed, "I already know about Zhou Jian, will he dislike boys liking him?" He continued on his own, "Even if I try my best to make him like me, will he dislike me?" This kind of me? After all, I was told that before." This is getting harder the more I think about it.

Xu Yun just looked at him and didn't answer. Ning Zhanmei understood that he was standing on Bi Qiannian's side to see if he was serious, and he didn't care if he helped chase someone.

"Hey, I can't count on it." Ning Zhan's eyebrows were full of depression.

"Then let me ask you," Xu Yun said, "do you think it will be difficult for same-sex couples in the future? All you think about now is whether Qian Nian would like to be with you. After you really take on this status, what should you two do?" What to do, have you thought about it?"

Ning Zhanmei smiled, and didn't mind Xu Yun's directness.He had thought about it, he had only thought about himself and Bi Qiannian these days, where he would settle down to buy a few houses, whether to adopt a child or not, he had thought about it all, but what Xu Yun asked was really the most important thing.

"Although it seems very arrogant to say it now, you also know the situation of our family. My father, my aunt, and my uncle have very different personalities. When it comes to choosing a spouse, they are all first loves, married and loving for decades." Ning Zhanmei said seriously , "It doesn't matter if it's blind self-confidence, or it doesn't matter if you're young and don't know the heights of the sky and the earth, I can't say that I'm sure that Bi Qiannian is right now, but if I can be with him, he will love me as much as I love him , I believe we will not be separated."

These words are indeed too arrogant, and can even be said to be the unique childishness and stupidity of adolescence. It is really a lie to dare to talk about love and eternity.But Ning Zhan's confident expression did not appear immature, but rather convincing. He was very calm, as if he had thought about it many times.

"Does this point need to be argued? Because I think Bi Qiannian and I are very suitable." He said without showing any timidity, "It is difficult for me to communicate with people, and he is actually very wary of strangers. I am not wrong, am I right? ? But we have known each other for a month or so, and we are already very familiar with each other." He emphasized again, "Because the two of us are very suitable."

Like two magnets that finally met and then bonded, they can't wait to attract each other, stick to each other, and exchange two red hearts that have left scars.

Xu Yun didn't know what sutra he was reciting, he couldn't understand Ning Zhanmei's confidence, but he also got a glimpse of Ning Zhanmei's serious attitude after careful consideration.

"Under this premise, the difficulties we will encounter are first of all parents and elders. My dad and I have the confidence to convince him that it is indeed difficult for Aunt Bi." Ning Zhan frowned slightly, "As for school factors, homosexuals are indeed easy to cause problems. Controversy, that's something I don't want to take the risk of, and I don't want him to suffer again."

"You still haven't proposed any solution." Xu Yun concluded without expression.

"How can it be so easy?" Ning Zhan smiled wryly, "I haven't written a word yet. If luckily he also likes me, what I can guarantee now is that whether it is Aunt Bi's side or the rumors in the school environment, I will accompany him .”

Xu Yun didn't say a word. He took the initiative to raise this topic with Ning Zhanmei not to prevent him from liking or pursuing Bi Qiannian. This is beyond his control, and he has no right to interfere too much.

It's not surprising that someone likes Bi Qiannian, and Xu Yun, as a friend, will definitely not interfere with a girl's relationship.It was really Zhou Jian's sequelae that made him have to ask Ning Zhanmei directly.

Ning Zhanmei also understood his starting point, so he told Xu Yun the answer he had been thinking about these days with peace of mind and frankly, as if saying it would also make him feel more at ease.

Xu Yun sighed, "Okay, go for it."

Ning Zhanmei heaved a sigh of relief. If Xu Yun felt that his attitude was not good enough and he just wanted to have a relationship with Bi Qiannian frivolously, this person could tell Bi Qiannian that he wanted to make people stay away from him in a blink of an eye. To die in the cradle.

"Thanks," Ning Zhan smiled, "wait for my good news."

Xu Yun also laughed a little, he is Bi Qiannian's friend, it might not be Ning Zhanmei's.

After these words, Ning Zhanmei regained some confidence. It seemed that it was not easy for a boy of the same sex to like him. However, when Bi Qiannian talked about Zhou Jian in the past, he did not reveal his disgust for his approach, and he was still a little ignorant of his own sexuality. .Therefore, at least Bi Qiannian would not be completely unable to like him just because he was the same gender, and if Ning Zhanmei really wanted to pursue him clearly, he would not be disgusted.

But he hopes to keep the clear pursuit as a reserved choice, he wants Bi Qiannian to fall in love with him slowly, instead of being moved by his relentless pursuit of love and love, or giving birth to connivance according to his tolerant and gentle temperament .

Ning Zhanmei didn't want these things, he wanted Bi Qiannian's love as complete and passionate as he had for him.

Ning Zhanmei sighed, and felt a little panic and unconfident about his greedy thoughts. Is he really worthy of his love?

Uneasy, he went to the kitchen to find Bi Qiannian, wanting to see him.

"Why did you come out?" Bi Qiannian approached him, "It's so cool to stay in the room."

"I want to see you." Ning Zhanmei said, tired of concealing it, he seemed relieved to see him again. Bi Qiannian was cutting water spinach, wearing an apron, with two thin threads around his waist.

I kind of want to hug him.

Come on and fall in love with me, he said silently.

Bi Qiannian was a little uncomfortable by Ning Zhanmei's gentle tone, "Then why don't you go to the rice cooker to serve the rice? I can eat after I finish frying the water spinach."

Ning Zhan lowered his eyebrows and took three bowls from the dining cabinet.

After all the dishes were served, Xu Yun went to the kitchen to get chopsticks.The dishes are not complicated. The authentic sea bass in Shuiyun City is sprinkled with a nice layer of red pepper, as well as Bi Qiannian's specialty fried pork with Chinese yam, and the last dish of water spinach.

"This chili is not too spicy, you should be able to eat it." Bi Qiannian specifically said to Ning Zhanmei.

"So caring." Ning Zhan brows were very happy.

Bi Qiannian didn't answer, and asked him to take a photo of himself and Xu Yun.

"... Post a post?" Why didn't Xu Yun take pictures of the two of us.

"No, I'll send it to Tong Zhi. He said a while ago that he wanted my yam fried pork." Bi Qiannian smiled smugly.

Ning Zhanmei took Bi Qiannian's cell phone and took a photo of the two of them, including a table of dishes. He then said, "Then he won't be sour."

"It was on purpose." Bi Qiannian took the phone and immediately sent it.

I also remembered the news about Ning Zhan's eyebrows. There was nothing new in this period of time. I hadn't posted about it for a few days. I turned my head and saw Ning Zhan's eyebrows holding a fish, and took a picture of him.

Handsome Ning, who lives in his own feed, hasn't shown his face for a while.

He glanced at Ning Zhan, "I sent it?"

"For Tongzhi?" Ning Zhan brows puzzled.

"News," Bi Qiannian said, "I haven't posted you for a long time."

Ning Zhan's hand paused, "Bi Qiannian, do you know who keeps posting pictures of another person?"

He didn't wait for Bi Qiannian's answer, "Couple."

Bi Qiannian was half a beat slow in chewing, lovers?Do you and Ning raise your eyebrows?

He blushed a little, remembering that he had become a couple with Ning Zhanmei after playing Werewolf Killing.

Ning raised his eyebrows, lovers.The degree of association between these two words has been somewhat high recently.

Immediately, he dismissed his wandering thoughts. After thinking about it, Ning Zhanmei should be afraid of being misunderstood, "...Are you afraid that someone will say it? Then I won't post it."

"No..." Ning Zhan raised his eyebrows and wanted to laugh. He blushed a little, but why was he still so serious, "Don't delete it, keep it. I have to post it later."

Xu Yun ate food in silence, too lazy to talk.

"Oh... good." Bi Qiannian didn't know what kind of medicine Ning Zhanmei sold in the gourd, and he didn't bother to think about it, so he just posted it. Anyway, he has already posted a lot, and he was very happy to see people praise Ning Zhanmei as handsome.

After the meal, Bi Qiannian packed up the dishes and prepared to wash the dishes, Ning Zhanmei took the dishes and went into the kitchen with him.

"...You like the kitchen very much today?" Bi Qiannian didn't understand him, "I'll come, you are the guest."

"It's not that I like the kitchen." Ning Zhan replied, but didn't say anything, "I'll wash it with you, it's boring to stay with Xu Yun."

He turned on the faucet and motioned for Bi Qiannian to bring the dish soap.Bi Qiannian did not refuse again.

"It's the first time someone washes the dishes with me." He said with a smile.

They can also wash together in the future, Ning Zhanmei didn't say anything.

"When did you start washing dishes?" Ning Zhanmei asked him, rubbing the dishes unskillfully.

"I don't really remember, six or seven years old, right? It should be when I was in elementary school." Bi Qiannian replied, the sink was not big, and his hands would touch Ning Zhan's eyebrows.

"It should be this big in the photo." Ning Zhanmei was referring to the photo of Bi Qiannian stepping on a small bench to wash dishes. "How about cooking? I started learning when I was young."

"I just started junior high school." Bi Qiannian thought for a while, "My mother just started teaching in No. [-] Middle School, so she's a bit busy. I'm tall and can cook with a spatula without much effort, so I just learned."

"It's very delicious." Ning Zhanmei praised him sincerely.

Bi Qiannian smiled immodestly, "That's right, we should take a day and a half off on weekends when school starts. If you have nothing to do, you can come to my house, and I'll fry it for you."

"I promised you earlier, right? I'll come." Ning Zhanmei was tickled by Bi Qiannian's smile and words. A gust of warm wind blows.

Bi Qiannian looked up, it was a novel experience to stand beside someone while washing dishes, and he saw the lush old tree outside the window again.

He grew taller in one year, and at first he obediently moved the small bench to wash the dishes after dinner every day. At that time, he could not see the thick trunks under the old leaves, but only the green leaves.Later, he gradually realized that a bird's nest was built among the branches one year, and he also saw a few fluffy little heads popping out of it.In winter, the bird's nest is empty, and there is only one nest left, and everything becomes the same as in previous years.

After washing the dishes, Ning Zhanmei turned on the faucet again, and didn't bother him when he saw him in a daze.He washed his hands first, then took Bi Qiannian's, put them under the cold water and drenched them, cleaning the residual foam between his fingers for him.

It was even more meticulous than Bi Qiannian's interlocking fingers, one root at a time, for fear of missing a little bit.

Bi Qiannian didn't take back his hand. Ning Zhanmei's fingers were longer than his own. Four fingers supported his hand and placed it in the palm of his hand. Residues are carried away by the current.

The orange-red sunset in the evening shone in the small space of the kitchen, and the winding cold water poured from the faucet was also mixed with gold. Out of tune with the usual laziness.

The tap is turned off.

Ning Zhanmei let go of his hand, and asked him softly why he was so dazed?

He didn't answer.

Bi Qiannian felt as if he had picked up a handful of golden sand just now, and then quickly disappeared at his fingertips, so gentle, yet so unbearable to stay for a long time.

It makes him feel that he is about to miss something inadvertently, just like the lonely nest left by the birds.
