【Zhou Xiang】Gravity

1.

The sun came out for a while, then hid behind the clouds.From time to time, there is a small wind in the forest, and the air is bitingly cold. At this time, there are very few tourists who are interested in coming to the park.They walked hundreds of meters all the way, but there was no one in sight.

"Where are we going?" Sun Xiang couldn't hold back his curiosity.

"Here we are." Zhou Zekai stopped.Sun Xiang looked in the direction of his line of sight, and saw the red ribbons hanging all over the branches.All doubts are readily resolved.

Every city seems to have this kind of tree with legends.The anecdote related to it, Sun Xiang, as a local, has long heard the elders say that his ears are callused: Whose child is admitted to the school of Zhongyi, who reunited with the Omega who had been separated for many years after making a wish and got married together, and who is it? The old man miraculously recovered from his serious illness... To sum up, anyway, just hang a red ribbon on the tree and write the name of the person you want to bless, and your wish will come true.

...which is certainly not believable.

But for thousands of years, the constant stream of visitors has confirmed another thing: people are rational most of the time, and only when they are related to the most important people or things are they willing to believe in the power of all strange and chaotic gods .

Sun Xiang walked slowly under the tree and looked up.In the breeze, thousands of unfaded and faded red ribbons are slowly fluttering.He stretched out his hand to touch the trunk, and felt his heart beat a little faster involuntarily.

Could it be that--

That's right.He used to snort it, feeling extremely bored, but at this moment he suddenly realized that behind every red belt he despises, there are absolutely serious and pious hearts.It seems hypocritical to ask Zhou Zekai "what gift are you going to give me" at this moment.Sun Xiang thought.So he didn't say anything, just turned around and looked at Zhou Zekai.

"Yeah." Zhou Zekai hooked his lips, "Wait for me. Immediately."

As Sun Xiang expected, this friend found a red ribbon from his backpack.It unfolded with a flick.

On the soft and smooth red ribbon, there is already a line of beautiful block letters.That was the name of himself and Zhou Zekai.

2.

Ten minutes later, when Zhou Zekai easily jumped off the tree trunk and walked towards Sun Xiang, clapping the ashes in his palms, the latter hadn't recovered from his surprise.

"Idiot!" Sun Xiang couldn't hold back when the person approached, and punched someone's shoulder fiercely, "Do you know how dangerous it is to climb so high?!"

"The taller you are, the smarter you are," Zhou Zekai expressed full satisfaction with his "recklessness", "Grandma said it."

"You—" Sun Xiang's anger was also true, his sweetness and joy were also true, and he didn't know what to say for a while.

"Don't be angry." Zhou Zekai took a step forward and embraced Sun Xiang, "Do you believe this?"

"You..." Sun Xiang took a deep breath, "It's not a question of whether you believe it or not. Of course I know that you hang this as a good sign. I am very touched, but I hope you are safe!"

"Well, I know." There was a smile in Zhou Zekai's voice, he lightly rubbed Sun Xiang's head, like cotton candy, and hugged Sun Xiang more willfully, "Actually, I don't really believe it either."

Sun Xiang was speechless until the corners of his eyes twitched: "...I rely on you."

"Don't laugh. Except for things related to you," Zhou Zekai said seriously, "I'm all materialistic."

3.

Leaving the park, the two returned to grandma's house with marshmallows in their hands.Zhou Zekai introduced to his family that Sun Xiang was his best friend at school.

"Okay, okay," grandma happily held Sun Xiang's hand, and couldn't stop looking at him, "Our Kaikai family has never brought friends back before, that's great...you must get along well."

Sun Xiang's throat was a little choked: "Grandma, don't worry." He will definitely do what he says.

Before leaving, grandma called Zhou Zekai to get a big box from the refrigerator.

"Give it to me? What is it?" Sun Xiang tried to dig out the truth all the way, but Zhou Zekai's proficiency level ten in the matter of cheating.

When the two returned to Zhou Zekai's home, it was time to solve the mystery.The first thing Sun Xiang did when he kicked off the shoes was to lift the lid, "I'll go! Is it real or not?!" He stared at the contents of the box in amazement, "Grandma made me a birthday cake?!"

The answer is obvious.How can there be so many different types of fruits piled on top of cakes made in a store...and without exception, they are the flavors you like.

Zhou Zekai went to the kitchen to get knives, forks and plates, and found out the "17" small candle that he had left on his birthday.

"Wise!" Sun Xiang gave a thumbs up, "We use the same candle to make a wish, so we are 100% sure that the wish will be connected!"

He was so excited that he didn't even realize that he had exposed the content of his wish in advance.

The lights go out and the candles come on.

Sun Xiang stared at the clusters of dancing flames, and said earnestly and silently: I hope, I hope... next year today, next year next year today, next year next year next year today, and countless next years after that... I Zhou Zekai wants to live with me!

4.

The night is of course a routine overnight stay.Father Sun and Mother Sun were probably used to their son going to stay at Zhou Zekai's house when he had nothing to do, so they were completely at ease and didn't even bother to make a phone call to confirm safety.

Birthday is coming, but homework cannot escape.As the end of the period approached, the teachers of each class distributed the papers vigorously. Thanks to the high efficiency of the two of them, it was almost 12 o'clock when they finished writing.

Sun Xiang touched his growling stomach: "...Damn, it's so late."

"Next?" Zhou Zekai skillfully rolled up the sleeves of his pajamas, and was about to get up.

"Hey, wait a minute," Sun Xiang stopped him, "If I remember correctly, that very famous Degenerate Street seems to be near your house?"

"Let's go?" Zhou Zekai understood in seconds, and turned to get his coat and scarf.

"Let's go!" Sun Xiang raised his chin, stretched his waist and stood up, but in the next second, "...Wait, wait! How many times have I told Zhou Zekai not to be a ball to me? The incomparable appearance is blocked..."

"He's quite handsome." Zhou Zekai smiled approvingly, but acted as if he didn't hear Sun Xiang's protest, and wrapped Sun Xiang tightly in the blink of an eye.After I checked it out, I was satisfied to tuck out half of the person's face.

Just as Sun Xiang took a breath, his lips were blocked.Zhou Zekai's warm breath made his heart itch: "So I don't want others to see it."

"...nonsense."

In the cold wind in the early morning, a handsome guy with an overheated face followed his boyfriend downstairs with an awkward expression.

But soon, when the other party reached out his hand immediately after going down the steps, grabbed his hand, and then naturally put it into the pocket of his coat, his face immediately became cloudy and sunny.

"Let's go, brother will take you to experience the nightlife, open your eyes!" Sun Xiang was in high spirits.

At this time, he never imagined that he would meet that guy at the supper stand.

5.

Fallen Street is worthy of being a powerful "net celebrity attraction" in this city.The temperature at night is close to zero. If you stand outside for half a minute, your nose and ears will turn red from the cold.But here is as crowded as ever.Not only your own hot air, but also countless white hot air rising from all directions, combined with all kinds of attractive fragrances, and those country punk style lamps that can blind people's eyes, create a night market unique atmosphere. Some have the arrogance of "never let you go on an empty stomach".

Zhou Zekai was better, but Sun Xiang couldn't hold on anymore, and within a few shopping, he already had grilled squid with spicy meatball fossil cake in his hand, and the chocolate cake that Zhou Zekai had just fed was stuffed into his bulging cheeks.

"... Put too much saccharin, grandpa will be so sweet!" After finally swallowing it, Sun Xiang quickly swallowed a ball to offset the taste, but he was still not very satisfied.He frowned and looked around, and suddenly his eyes lit up.

"Chuan Chuan! How about we eat Chuan Chuan?!"

6.

Sun Xiang held up the lottery and the paper bucket with both hands, while turning his head from time to time to make sure that Zhou Zekai hadn't lost track of him. It took him 2 minutes to finally squeeze through the crowd and find a two-person seat near the corner.

"Uh, how do I order?" Sun Xiang picked up the only plastic menu on the table, but couldn't find the QR code.Someone at the next table heard it, turned around and shouted: "Go to the front, find the boss."

"Thank you." Sun Xiang nodded and went to look at Zhou Zekai, "What do you eat?"

"You can figure it out." Zhou Zekai forked the last ball and stuffed it into Sun Xiang's mouth.

"Well—" Sun Xiang swallowed hard, but he actually enjoyed it very much, and he had to pretend to be angry, "You feed the pigs and you made my face covered with spicy oil—"

Warmth flickered across the lips.It was Zhou Zekai who quickly wiped it off with his fingertips.

Sun Xiang clicked his tongue, and quickly leaned over to kiss Zhou Zekai: "This way is clean, understand?"

This covert action was not seen.However, Sun Xiang was still very careful and withdrew in one go.

Zhou Zekai, who was forced to dip in spicy oil, looked at him helplessly and with a smile.

"Okay, okay, I know you're hungry, so I'll go right away." Sun Xiang shamelessly willful on his boyfriend's side, satisfied, went to find the stall owner with the menu.

There was a hiccup when ordering.Sun Xiang hesitated for a second between the pure red oil pot and the mandarin duck pot, and chose the mandarin duck pot.The owner of the shop didn’t make a statement, but someone from the nearby table spoke first: “Mandarin ducks? There’s no one in our city who doesn’t eat spicy food!” His companion hurriedly smoothed things over, and said with a smile that you, a young man from Kazakhstan, just ordered it for the target.

Sun Xiang couldn't hold back his smile, he was very proud of himself.

The boss glanced at him.

After 5 minutes, the boss came to deliver spicy pig brains. He was a little surprised when he saw the two boys.Put down the plate and ask: "A high school student?"

"En." Zhou Zekai nodded.

The boss didn't look at Zhou Zekai, but at Sun Xiang: "Subject?"

Sun Xiang was taken aback: "Is there a problem?"

"Tsk," the boss suddenly and mysteriously lowered his voice, "How many schools are there?"

Zhou Zekai and Sun Xiang looked at each other, and gradually felt that something was wrong, so they didn't answer immediately.The boss was silent, and said: "I'm too lazy to report it, because I'm afraid you will be discovered. Hurry up, go inside and change a table, and be careful when you want to kiss if you can't help it."

Zhou Zekai: "..."

Sun Xiang said speechlessly: "Isn't it right to have a late-night snack? You need to be so careful. Could it be that there is a teacher here?"

"Hey," the boss raised his chin, "You really hit the spot. Look at that one over there, he is the head teacher of the reincarnation experiment."

Sun Xiang and Zhou Zekai turned their heads curiously.

"People aren't bad. But I can't help being in a bad mood today, why don't you be careful and don't get caught at the gunpoint."

After the boss finished speaking, he hurriedly sent the next table to the next table.

Sun Xiang stared at the mud for a while, then suddenly frowned.

"Zhou Zekai." Sun Xiang turned his head, with a little hesitation in his tone, "Look at that man's clothes, do they look like those worn by the old horse last week?"
