Twelve Difficult Study Abroad Life

11 month 14 day.

Since the early morning, Zeming has received birthday wishes from former high school and undergraduate classmates.

Lying on the bed, he replied to his classmates one by one, turned to the news in the family group, quickly returned it, and then continued to sleep soundly.

When he woke up again, the sun had already made the bed warm.

He struggled to touch the phone by the bed, and then saw Li's message.

【Going to the beach in the afternoon?I'll pick you up at three o'clock. 】

Zeming stared at the phone for a long time, and then replied with a [OK. 】

Zeming didn't know why he had to wear the same black as last year.

Before going out, he subconsciously picked up his schoolbag, put it down after a while, and went out with only his mobile phone.

This time, Chang Li was waiting for him.

Li was also wearing the black sweater from last year. His hair, which was always messy, was combed neatly today, and he looked extraordinarily refined.

Seeing Zeming, he waved his hand with a warm smile on his face.

Zeming stood there dumbfounded as if rooted under his feet, then he took out his phone and took a photo of Li.

"This is the one." Zeming handed the phone to Twelve.

This is not a photo album, but Zeming's mobile phone wallpaper.

This page only has a WeChat icon in the upper left corner.

In the photo, a sycamore tree stands behind the car, and the ground is covered with a layer of golden fallen leaves. Li leaned casually against the car door, the sun dappled on him.As if looking at the most precious treasure in the world, he smiled gently at the camera.

A year seems to fly by quickly, and it seems that it has never passed.

Li and Zeming tacitly avoided the crowd and walked away.

The gray and white sandy beach, the Pacific Ocean is too blue to be true.There are no seals with their bellies open, or even seabirds passing by, only the sun pouring down silently.

"You can, I've been taking pictures of my brother since we haven't seen each other for a few months." Li joked.

"I shot it openly." Zeming corrected him.

The two walked side by side on the beach, very close to each other.

Li suddenly remembered that day when they were lying together on the lawn outside the college, he secretly went to hold Zeming's hand.

"Do you still remember the day you secretly held my hand?" Zeming asked by chance.

Li laughed: "You clearly know it, but you still pretend to be asleep."

What Li didn't know was that Zeming was as nervous as he was that day.He ramblingly asked about Li's past experience, and Li's voice unreally swirled in his head.He closed his eyes tightly, taking his breath lightly and long on purpose, but he could still feel Li's gentle gaze when he leaned over to look at him.After a long, long time, the warm fingertips wrapped around his fingers, and then climbed onto his palm. Li's fingertips were almost weightless, as if they touched him and seemed to be suspended in the air.

The gentle sound of the wind and the crisp click sound of passers-by stepping on crushed sycamore leaves suddenly disappeared.

He could only hear his violent heartbeat that was magnified countless times.

"Let me sing you a song." Li said suddenly.

The two sat facing each other just like that day.The sun was setting gradually, and the sea breeze was blowing indistinctly. Li's hair was combed neatly, and his bangs stayed neatly on his forehead.

Zeming raised his hand and rubbed his eyes.

"The wind is strong, blinding the eyes." He said hoarsely.

Li didn't say anything, just laughed and sang.

He sang the same song that the missionaries sang that day.

Li's English is very good, and his voice is soft and deep in harmony with the sea breeze.

Zeming closed his eyes just like that day, listening to Li's singing quietly.

"Happy birthday," Li whispered after the song was over.

Zeming slowly opened his eyes, a tear suddenly slipped down, he hastily wiped it away.

"I'm going to go," Li said. "After graduation, I'm going north. What about you?"

Zeming's throat tightened, and his voice was muffled: "I should stay here for a while."

Then both of them fell silent, and each turned their heads to look at the endless Pacific Ocean.

The wind slowly subsided and the waves subsided.The calm Pacific Ocean is too blue to be true.Due to the angle, the sloping sea seems to overturn the world.

"By the way, for the sake of my brother being secretly photographed by you, you also ask my brother to take a picture." Li said.

Zeming nodded, his eyes were a little red: "Yeah. I can only take pictures from the back."

"Then did you have dinner with the girl?" Twelve asked.

"No." Zeming looked innocent like an innocent boy, "I was not with that girl, he misunderstood himself."

Twelve took out his mobile phone, found Li's circle of friends again, and dug out the chat records at that time.

Li: [Yesterday was Zeming's birthday, and I went to the beach to celebrate it. 】

Twelve: [Hahahaha, it’s pretty good, have you eaten something delicious]

Li: [No, I went to the beach with him in the afternoon, and he had dinner with his girlfriend. 】

Twelve: [The beach is beautiful!Does he like the sea? 】

Li didn't reply.

"It's because he likes the sea." Zeming said with a smile, "but let me answer for him. I like what he likes, so I like the sea too."
