blue whales under the stars

The orange-red sun gradually submerged in the sea water of the sky.After the warm light subsided, the sea breeze blowing on the face also became a little bit cooler.When he sneezed for the second time, Mu Ye suddenly felt his body sink, but the feeling of falling was only for a moment. Before he could make a sound of surprise, he was hugged by a man who emerged from the sea.

Bai Cang, who was still covered in steam, held the boy in his arms firmly, stepped on the water and walked slowly towards the wooden boat that had been swaying for a long time.Mu Ye poked his head out of the man's embrace curiously, the light after sunset was a bit dim, but he could still clearly see Bai Cang stepping on the sea with his bare feet.

The white ankles that are rarely seen in the light are slightly submerged in the sea water. Walking like walking on a smooth road brings up star spots of water droplets. Mu Ye looks from the shoulders to the direction behind him. The footprints left in time bloomed one by one in the smooth waves, and disappeared on the sea surface with a slight sway.

"Walking on the sea looks amazing..."

There was obvious excitement in Mu Ye's voice, he seemed a little eager to try, but his hands holding him were tightened a bit, Bai Cang's deep and cool voice sounded above the boy's head: "After a while, you can too. "

Mu Ye was stunned by the excessive surprise, so that by the time he realized it, the two of them had landed firmly on the wooden boat.Mu Ye was let down from the person's arms. He stepped on the board of the boat with bare feet, and turned his head to look at the quieter sea area after sunset.

"Are you going here?" Mu Ye asked softly, and there was a hidden surprise in his cautious question.

Bai Cang stretched out his hand to touch the boy's soft cheek, and the temperature in his chest became even hotter. He whispered: "Yes."

But before that, he repeated: "It will take a while."

Mu Ye tilted his head, his slightly long soft black hair spread out a little from his cheeks: "How long will it take?"

Bai Cang pursed his lips, and finally there was a smile on the thin lip line.The young man's inadvertent little movements can always stir his heart, there are no stormy waves, and the slight waves are also infiltrating changes little by little.He pondered for a moment before saying, "It depends on the degree of absorption."

Mu Ye was a little puzzled: "Absorb?"

Bai Cang motioned for him to turn around and walk into the cabin behind him, and it was only then that Mu Ye noticed the internal structure of the wooden boat.The space in the cabin is not very large, but it is more than enough for two people to move around.Tables and chairs are fully furnished, and under the window on the right is a soft-looking double bed covered with a sky blue quilt.

Mu Ye reached out and pinched the soft corners of the quilt, where a chubby whale was printed on it.

He took a closer look at the little round whale, and when he looked back, he realized that Mr. Blue Whale had already closed and locked the wooden doors on both sides of the cabin.There was a cool breeze on the sea at night, and Bai Cang carefully lowered the curtain behind the door to block all possible gaps before turning around and walking over.

Mu Ye was still thinking about the doubts he had absorbed, but the movements of his hands did not stop.The young man quickly helped Mr. Blue Whale to remove the cloth curtain on the window top, and after the ventilation was carefully blocked, some warmth gradually gathered in the cabin.

Quiet house took shape, Bai Cang looked at the thoughtful and diligent young man, his eyes darkened a little.

Human beings have a simple saying, but it is described vividly.Bai Cang thought, that sentence should be...

It was sold and helped to count the money.

Mu Ye happened to look over at this time, and Bai Cang also happened to walk over.The man scrubbed his hands, feet and cheeks with the clear water gushing from his fingertips, and Mu Ye obediently cooperated with his actions.

When he looked up and was wiped off the water droplets on his face, he still couldn't help asking: "What does absorption mean?"

Bai Cang pursed his lips, the smile in his eyes reflected the lights beside the bed, he leaned over, and pressed his forehead against the boy's forehead, at a very close distance, the cool breath and warm breath gradually intertwined .

"Animals in the sea can... share their abilities through one absorption every night."

Mu Ye's eyes, which were already too big due to his young age, couldn't help but become a little bigger.

That kind of thing, why, why does it still have this effect...

Spending the night on a boat is not the same as being on flat land.Today is already a night of low wind, but the feeling of the cabin shaking with the waves is still obvious.Mu Ye stayed on the boat for a while, but still couldn't get used to the constant swaying and occasional weightlessness.He felt a little uncomfortable, so he opened his mouth in a low voice, wanting to discuss it with Mr. Blue Whale.

"We... can we talk about it when we go back to shore?"

Bai Cang did not respond to this request immediately.There is a warm touch under his palm, and the soft touch makes it hard not to be nostalgic.The warmth came from the parts that were touching, as if even his body temperature, which had always been cold for a long time, was warmed up a little.

Bai Cang couldn't help laughing, and the light in his eyes became more gentle: "Now?"

"Ugh..."

When he asked, Mu Ye suddenly groaned softly.The young man's original voice was a bit waxy, but listening to it now can make people's hearts soften.

Bai Cang used kisses to appease the boy who was letting out a nasal sound because of all the entrances, and at the same time drew a few complicated symbols with his free left hand.Advanced spells didn't make a sound when they took effect, and those who really needed measures against seasickness didn't even notice anything unusual, and the cabin, which was constantly being pushed and shaken by the waves, slowly calmed down.

It's just that Mu Ye has no time to take care of these situations at this time.His consciousness was submerged again in the waves.The moist and gentle waves slapped his chest, and the suffocating oppression and the relief of redemption appeared all over his body.There was only a warm yellow round lamp lit in the cabin, but in front of Mu Ye's eyes was a bright sea of ​​stars.The eyes of Mr. Blue Whale are more beautiful than all the strange scenery by the sea, and this scenery belongs to him alone.

In fact, the teenager does not understand and has never been in touch with the pleasure brought by monopoly. For him, it is no regret to have a companion to accompany him.His mind is too pure, even in the center of this moonless ocean, the dim night cannot hide the light from his body.

He has just grown up, but his mind is still like a child.Mu Ye has never seen many storms and twists and turns, he is sweet, like a piece of clear and easily melted fruit candy.

Another person's mind is much more complicated in comparison.Or maybe he wasn't called a human being in the first place.Bai Cang's eyes kept falling on the face of the young man in his arms, and delicate kisses landed on the other's soft cheeks and nose.Mixed gasps filled the small cabin, and amidst the ambiguous breath, Bai Cang tightened his arms, tightly encircling the sobbing and releasing boy in his arms.

"I want to...see...over the sea, the stars..."

The ambiguous words with a nasal sound would be difficult to recognize unless you listen carefully. Bai Cang paused for a moment, then wiped away the moisture from the corners of Mu Ye's eyes with his fingertips.

"There will be clouds tonight. I'll take you to see it when it's sunny at the beginning of the month."

Mu Ye couldn't open his eyes anymore: "Okay..."

Bai Cang lowered his voice, his good night was like a pure-color xylophone that could attract warblers and birds to sing in harmony: "Xiao Ye, good sleep."

Just like the previous two days, Mu Ye soon fell into a coma after the affair.Bai Cang cleaned up the place where he looked a bit messy, spread out the soft quilt full of sunshine and sea waves, wrapped him up carefully, and then hugged Mu Ye in his arms again.

The body temperature of the blue whale is relatively cool, and it is not suitable for sleeping next to a human being who has just cooled off on a windy night.After so many years, Bai Cang has learned how to turn himself into a human being, paying attention to every detail that should be taken care of.

After animals are domesticated, they will draw invisible isolation from their original group.There is a self-evident difference between a bear that can communicate with humans and is good at acting like a baby, and a bear that grabs a honey pot and raises its paw to scare people.This difference is not good or bad, but it is doomed that they cannot continue to live together without any differences.

In addition to their own humans, domesticated animals also communicate with each other.Where there is communication, there will be relationships. No matter how strong or weak the relationship is, it will eventually become a thread.And this context is the involvement of living in the world.

And what about the blue whale?

No one has ever domesticated a blue whale.

Compared with plains and mountains, deserts and oceans are not suitable for human survival.The animal taming family is not considered to be a thriving family, and those who can tame seaside animals have been written into rare legends.Even in this seaside town, the fishermen who went to sea did not bring back too many songs. The connection between human beings and the sea is not close.

Creatures in the ocean have their own world, and domesticated animals become the aliens encircled by the curved separation line.In addition to his own human beings, it is difficult for him to find other objects to build relationships with.Bai Cang clearly understood this point. In the past few years, he imagined another possibility that didn't happen, but until now, he still insisted on the choice at the beginning.

Although at the beginning, Bai Cang was just the passive one.He does not have the right to choose, but even though this direction has boundless darkness and danger, he is still extremely firm in his present.

The breath of the boy in his arms was light and regular, Bai Cang lowered his eyes, and placed a light kiss on the other's forehead which was slightly covered by soft black hair.He knew what Mu Ye would see in his dream, which was an additional product brought about by the transition of abilities, but Bai Cang only had this choice.

Mu Ye needs to be able to breathe under the sea, learn what Mr. Blue Whale knows, and live for a long time, instead of ending this encounter again after a short hundred years.

So even if Mu Ye knew about the past, Bai Cang would not stop the process of sharing life.

He kissed the young man's forehead very lightly and tenderly, and the gesture of hugging couldn't be more cherished.

Go see him and don't forget me.
