Seagull

"Changze, I'm leaving tomorrow. Let's go to the town to buy some specialties and go back. The seafood and dry goods here are good." Chen Nan sat on the sofa and drank tea.

"Go ahead and buy more for me. I have a lot of people. Three aunts, six wives, and colleagues from various departments in the hospital all get points." Chang Ze looked at his phone and returned him.

"You came out this time, but it's a 'big fight', everyone knows that you are out?"

"Didn't I take a few photos of my decorations last night, Wangzai, couplets, and post a Moments. They all commented that it's not kind to bring something, what can I do." Chang Ze flashed out his phone, gloating , "By the way, Xiao Mao also saw it and gave me a thumbs up. As for his big mouth, your bureau probably knows it too."

"...Just me going alone? What about you?" Chen Nan thought that he was carrying big and small bags by himself, and felt that he had to be dragged into the water.

"Me, I'm going to watch the sea with Ah Lan!" Chang Ze took it for granted.

Chen Nan wanted to vomit old blood after hearing this.

Chang Ze: "You want to go too? Ah Lan said that the sea is not good. Last time, Sister Wang lied to us. It's boring."

Chen Nan: "Then you still go?"

"I'm leaving soon, brother. A Lan and I haven't even had a decent date, is it reasonable? Watching the sea is just a gimmick, but it's actually a date." Chang Ze sat up straight, "Think about it, when the time comes, we With a small hand, a small talk, the level is reached, a kiss, everything will come naturally, and I will be his boyfriend again!" Chang Ze can already imagine the scene at that time.

"You think too much, I didn't agree to go with you. I'll go shopping with Brother Chen Nan." Zhang Lan didn't know when he came, and he didn't know how much he listened to, anyway, he didn't listen to the last paragraph.

"I made a good promise yesterday afternoon. I didn't ask you to watch the sunrise early in the morning, but I wanted you to accompany me to watch the sunset at the head office? I love you, and you love me too." Chang Ze posted it, Pulling Zhang Lan's sleeves and dangling them, the sight of a man as a little lady is beyond compliment.

"...Alan, you can go with Chang Ze. I can do it alone." Chen Nan couldn't bear it, so he had to help him first.

"...The sunset is still early, so it's 5 or 6 o'clock. I'd better go with you, Brother Chen Nan. You are not familiar with the place, and it is not convenient to carry it. I will drive you there, and you will not be cheated." Zhang Lan was determined to go, but Chen Nan had no choice but to agree after glancing at Chang Ze.

"That makes sense, brother, I'll go too. Three people are more convenient, I can mention, talk, and talk." Chang Ze had to give up the idea of ​​possessing Zhang Lan for an afternoon, and changed his mind.

The three cooperated tacitly. Chang Ze and Chen Nan were in charge of talking and buying. Apart from taking them to the specialty street, Zhang Lan only occasionally showed his dialect when they were deceived too much, letting the shopkeepers know that they were locals and understood the market. Don't be a demon.In these few trips, I have almost bought things, and the time is almost up.The three of them were originally in a row, Chang Ze slowed down and pulled Chen Nan to walk behind Zhang Lan.

"Brother Nan, you understand." Chang Ze said inexplicably, as if answering a secret signal.

"Understood." Chen Nan looked helpless.

Zhang Lan just drove to the town, Chen Nan recognized the way, and patted Zhang Lan on the shoulder: "A Lan, stop in front of you, I will get off."

"?" Zhang Lan expressed doubts.

"I'm leaving tomorrow. I want to ask about the situation again, see if I can find anything else, and buy some food by the way, so as to save your sister from coming out again." Chen Nan explained.

Having said that, Zhang Lan couldn't stop him, so he had to pull over and stop.

"Put the things here first, and we'll take them back later. Brother, it's a pity that we can't go, but it's okay, I'll take more photos and videos for you." Chang Ze comforted him perfunctorily.

"Alan, have fun." Chen Nan ignored Chang Ze.

Chang Ze: "Happy, I must be happy..."

It's just that before Chang Ze finished speaking, Chen Nan closed the door, not wanting to watch his show.

Zhang Lan parked the car in a nearby parking lot, got out of the car, took Chang Ze all the way forward, turned a few more turns, and finally saw the beach.It's just because of the winter, even if it's a sunny day, there are not many people, sitting and standing in twos and threes, and some are grilling, discarded forks and food are thrown all over the place.Several children are forming a circle, digging holes on the beach with shovels, and the sand behind them has formed several hills, and the progress is very impressive.

"There's nothing to see. The tide has receded at this time, and there aren't many people there. That's it, let's go back." Zhang Lan said disappointedly.

"Where. Isn't the sea quite blue? I heard you said that I thought it was all rubbish, but now it's much better than my previous psychological expectation. We still have to watch the sunset." How could Chang Ze be like this? After going back, he dragged Zhang Lan to find a place where no one was around, and sat down.

The sky had already darkened, and the sun was gradually sinking to the west, a little hidden behind the black clouds, forming a white and bright ball in the middle, surrounded by a red and yellow sphere, which made the sky red, yellow, and orange intertwined.A long afterglow also fell on the sea surface, slowly spreading to both sides.At the junction of the sand and the sea, there are several reefs, black and shiny, with large or small shallow ditches on them, standing high, as if saying "this sea is contracted by me".Listening to the sound of the tide and watching the uncanny workmanship of nature can purify the mind and heal the soul.

"Such a beautiful scenery, you should come here often." Chang Ze speculated.

"I've only been here once." Zhang Lan looked far away, not knowing where to look.

"Just once?" Chang Ze was surprised.

"Well. It was when I was in elementary school. My mother was in poor health and couldn't go out. She hadn't seen the sea. I thought it was a pity. So I skipped class and came here. I observed the sea for a long time and wanted to imprint it in my mind. I went back and told my mother. But I am too young and my vocabulary is too poor. I can’t think of other adjectives except blue and broad.” Zhang Lan remembered the embarrassing things he did in front of his mother before, and his words gradually Too much, "Later I wanted to draw a picture for my mother, but I could only draw wavy lines with blue watercolor pens. I felt that I was useless, and my mother comforted me by saying that she had seen it and it was beautiful."

Chang Ze: "Your mother is really gentle. Then why did you

not going? "

Zhang Lan: "There is no need to go later..."

After returning from the beach, Zhang Lan found that she failed to fulfill her mother's wish, and cried that she was so stupid.After being comforted by my mother, I made up my mind to show my mother the sea.He wanted to buy a camera, but he didn't want his grandma to know, so he could only save money on food and expenses, secretly saved his pocket money and hid it in the piggy bank.After saving enough money, he was so excited that he couldn't sleep all night, so he waited for the weekend to buy in the market.He has dreamed of his mother's happy smile countless times when he saw the sea, and it will come true soon!But bad luck always comes sooner than good. Before he had time to buy it, the people who wanted to see the sea had already disappeared...

The sun is gradually lowering, and it is almost approaching the sea level.The whole sun turned into a matte red, the light was no longer dazzling, and it was particularly conspicuous in a layer of gray and black.The color of the upper layer also gradually changes from red to orange to turmeric and then to sumac.The surface of the sea turned black, and the orange light shone on the sparkling water surface, constantly refracting in all directions with the turbulence of the sea water.

At this time, several seagulls with brown fine stripes on their necks flew at low altitude, circled a few times on the sea surface, and landed on the sandy beach and reefs.They walked a few steps on the beach, wandered around, and from time to time lowered their heads to peck out some small crabs and leftovers discarded by people.They are very vigilant, and when they see someone approaching, they will spread their wings, their pure white tails spread out like a fan, and the tips of their wings are gray-black, fluttering in the air, looking very dexterous.

"Isn't it necessary to go now? You are accompanying me, whom you love, to see the sea." Chang Ze embraced Zhang Lan's shoulders, with nostalgia in his tone, "This is the first time I have seen the sea. We agreed to come with my sister and Brother Nan, but later, when my sister disappeared, Brother Nan and I made it clear that we would not go."

Zhang Lan: "Why are you here again?"

"Because I want to date you. I thought about it, and this is the only reason for us to live together." Chang Ze changed his gloomy expression in a second. "Alan, why did you want to break up with me? We were very good before, but one day we were still in love, and the next day we broke up completely. There is no such reason. Did you want to abandon me because you possessed me? , are you a scumbag?" Chang Ze looked at the scene in front of him and couldn't help asking.

"...Because you're old, I've said it before." Besides, Zhang Lan complained silently in his heart about who would occupy who.

Chang Ze: "I don't believe it."

Zhang Lan: "That's why I don't..."

Chang Ze: "Don't like me? Ah Lan, I really haven't noticed these days. You can use another excuse."

"...If you knew who I am and what kind of person I am, you wouldn't like me." Zhang Lan pushed his arm away and moved it a little to the side.

"Then tell me who you are? What kind of person are you?" This was the second time Chang Ze had heard Zhang Lan say that. He didn't know why this would be the reason that prevented them from being together.

Zhang Lan was silent.

"If you don't tell me, how can I judge whether I still like you? Alan, you are rejecting me with a reason you think, but I don't know why. You are not me, and you are not the one in my stomach. You have to ask the client what he thinks." Chang Ze got a little angry, he couldn't accept this reason.

Zhang Lan opened his mouth, gasping for breath, and instead of answering Chang Ze's question, he asked another question: "If, I said, if, your sister and I can only choose one, who would you choose?"

Hearing this kind of question that was no less than "Your mother and I fell into the sea at the same time, who do you save", Chang Ze was a little dazed, he was getting angry, why didn't he comfort him, instead he felt guilty and changed the subject?Chang Ze thought for a while, and then replied: "I choose both, and there is no conflict. Are you jealous?" After finishing speaking, he felt that his momentum had weakened, and he held on to the previous words, "Don't try to transfer Topic, answer my question well.”

The sun finally sank to the bottom, and the sky finally returned to blue, giving off a little light.The sea also lost its color, and slowly calmed down, like a huge mirror.A seagull flew next to them, and slowly approached the barbecue area with the attraction of the food, as if strolling in the garden.It stood not far from the sandpit, savoring the warmth discarded by people, a child quickly swung a shovel and drove it into the deep pit.The seagull flapped its wings desperately and screamed, but the child just pressed the shovel against its neck, kicked the sand from the nearby sand pile with his feet, and buried it on its wings .More and more sand was pressed on its body, and its wings were so heavy that it could not move. It kept screaming, but it was covered by the laughter of other children called by the child.

Zhang Lan didn't speak, he watched the whole thing, he stared at the bird

The seagull with its head exposed, struggling hard, stared at the child with the head on his hips, his clenched fist tried to raise it several times, but then dropped it again. He didn't move, just opened his mouth: "One A seagull buried in the sand cannot return to the sea it longs for; a seagull struggling to get out of the hole has lost its chance to fly to the sea. It..."

Chang Ze stood up before Zhang Lan finished speaking.He patted the sand on his pants and walked over there.He first confiscated the child's shovel, said something to them, as if he was criticizing education, and when he was angry, he spanked each of them on the bottom with the shovel.In the end, the children ran away with a sad face, and he removed the sand from the seagull's body with a shovel.The seagull didn't seem to react, and kept calling until it moved its wings and felt that it was not restrained. It stopped calling, stood up, opened its wings and flew away eagerly as if fleeing for its life.

Chang Ze returned the same way, pointed to the direction of the sea, and said with a smile: "Isn't this going to fly back to the longing sea, how free and happy!"

"..." Zhang Lan was speechless for a while, not knowing whether to continue what he just said.

"Let's go, your sister should be in a hurry." Chang Ze looked at his watch and left first.

Zhang Lan was stunned for a while, not knowing how to react, and when he came back to his senses, he walked a few steps quickly, shortening the distance between him and Chang Ze.

"Chang Ze."

"En?" Chang Ze turned around.

"What I just said is true. Except for the last reason, I really think you are old." Zhang Lan looked at Chang Ze with a sincere face, gave him a small smile without showing teeth, and passed him Walking like a car.

This time it was Chang Ze's turn to be stunned. He looked at Zhang Lan's back and felt that the night without the sun was very cold.He gathered his clothes, ran up, pulled down the zipper, hugged Zhang Lan from behind, wrapped him in his coat together, and kissed Zhang Lan hard on the face: "Man 31 flowers, do you understand? You have to cherish my budding flower."

At that moment, Zhang Lan's heart was not shaken. Perhaps, they could be together. Chang Ze said he liked him, and he liked Chang Ze too. His restrained love for a long time couldn't help but contradict the closed door in his heart.But when he thought of his mother, he was not sure, would Chang Ze really like him knowing his background?In Zhang Lan's view, she is a product of her mother's persecution and a mark of her pain.Looking for Chang Ze for so many years, and Chang Ze who loves his mother so much, will he really like him?Moreover, he has other things to do. If Chang Ze knew about this, would he still like him?Zhang Lan didn't know, he only knew that he couldn't control the urge to get close to Chang Ze, especially just now.
