I didn't miss you

place to play! "

A long time later, when the memory of that night gradually blurred, Chu Quan still found it incredible when he recalled his actions at that time.He has a cautious and introverted personality and never takes the initiative to strike up a conversation, but that day he talked to a stranger, danced, pressed the road, and did all the romantic things.

Fred treated Chu Quan as a junior, complained about some strange systems in American high schools, and then pretended to be a senior and taught him some skills in choosing courses.He also mysteriously told Chu Quan that there are several interesting museums in Los Angeles, and he will take him to visit them.Even a small river they passed by, Fred told the name and allusions.

He was very energetic, and talked for a long time with joy.Chu Quan is already a sophomore in China, and unconsciously regards Fred as his younger brother, with a little envy of "living elsewhere", and earnestly becomes his audience.

Later they passed a bar and Fred suggested going in for a drink.Chu Quan hesitated for a moment, his curiosity overcame his reason, and he nodded in agreement.That bar is called Nightingale, and there is a big black brother standing at the door.As soon as the two were about to go in, they were stopped and asked to show their license.They are obviously not yet of drinking age. Fred said that he forgot to bring his ID card, and he kept making noises. The elder brother smiled helplessly, and put a sticker on each of their arms, telling them that they could only go to the non-drinking area. Activity.

"It's so strict." Fred muttered angrily.

Chu Quan looked around curiously under the dim light.This bar is not too noisy, and there are not many naked men and women like Chu Quan imagined. Most of them are holding wine glasses and talking softly.Someone was playing the piano in the corner, and the slow and low tone made the atmosphere in the bar extra ambiguous.

"Sit down first." Fred ruffles his stubble vigorously, and then asks Chu Quan, "Do you look like 21 years old?"

Chu Quan laughed out loud, "It's not like that."

Fred coughed, pretending to be serious: "Wait."

Not long after, he brought over two glasses of fruit juice disheveledly: "It's better not to drink alcohol, it's not good for your health."

Chu Quan exposed him: "They won't sell it to you."

Fred took a big mouthful of orange juice, puffed out his cheeks, and gave Chu Quan a shameful look.Using the current description, Chu Quan felt that he was very cute at that moment.

Nervousness seemed contagious, and the two drank their drinks with their heads down and didn't speak for several minutes.They stole glances at each other from time to time, blushing embarrassedly when their eyes met.

Chu Quan wanted to find something to talk about, but he didn't have any special hobbies at ordinary times, so he could only talk about studying in the old way: "Well, which university do you plan to go to?"

Fred mentioned a few schools that offered him offers. Although they were not the top ones, their rankings were quite high.He vomited bitterness to Chu Quan, saying that he wanted to go to Caltech to study biological sciences, but his parents insisted that he study in business school or economics school.

Chu Quan suddenly felt sympathetic to each other, and was about to say something to comfort him, but Fred asked him with great interest what school he wanted to study in the future.

Chu Quan said, "I haven't made up my mind yet."

"Then come to me, I'll cover you." Fred winked at him.

Chu Quan's heart felt hot, and he gave a vague "hmm".

After a while, Fred asked, "Are you going home later?"

It was only then that Chu Quan remembered that he hadn't booked any hotel. At that time, he followed Chu Hanlin all the way in a fever, and didn't consider the issue of board and lodging at all.Now being mentioned by Fred, the feeling of loneliness suddenly surged up.

It was already 10:30 at night, and Chu Quan didn't want to wander the streets of a foreign land alone, nor did he want to contact Chu Hanlin, the compatriots in front of him were his only support. "My parents are not at home, I don't want to go back." After he finished speaking, he secretly observed the other party's face.

In fact, it is a sad and dangerous thing to expect a stranger to say "I will accompany you", but Chu Quan has no other way, and he has an intuition that Fred is not a bad person.

"I don't want to go home either." Fred finished his drink, looked at Chu Quan with his chin resting on his right hand, and the corner of his mouth was squeezed into a strange shape.He suggested: "I know a 24-hour bookstore that has a lot of Chinese books in it. Would you like to go and have a look?"

Chu Quan didn't know whether the other party just didn't want to go home or wanted to stay with him, but he was relieved and gave Fred a grateful look.

The two sat for a while, and were about to leave when they suddenly heard a crisp "bang", followed by hysterical screams.

Chu Quan was still in a daze, and subconsciously looked towards the commotion at the door, but Fred reacted quickly and pulled him to hide under the table.

The screaming was stopped abruptly by a series of gunshots and the sound of shattering glass.Chu Quan's legs went limp and he fell to the ground, his face pale. Fred wasn't much better either, the hands they held were shaking.

From under the table, you can see the two people rushing into the bar. They are tall and strong, their hair hangs down to their shoulders, and their faces are covered with beards. They look very downcast.Each of the two held a gun, one of them aimed at the people squatting on the ground trembling, the other shouted and cursed, and Barry's name appeared repeatedly.

Chu Quan was cold all over, and he wanted to get closer to Fred, when suddenly he heard the brown-haired gunman shout "Don't move!" Then with a "boom", a bullet passed by him, breaking a leg of the table up.

It was a very short moment, but Chu Quan felt like being crushed by a train from the beginning to the end, the torture was long and painful.

For an instant he thought he was dead, and under the horror he could only gasp like he was about to die. Fred rushed over and hugged him tightly, leaning his back against the wooden table that was tilted down.

"Are you okay?" The red-haired boy asked in the same trembling and scorching voice, pressing against his ear.

"Son of bitch!" another gunman cursed, pointing his gun at the two.

Fred turned his back to the door, but Chu Quan could see it clearly.At this time, half of Fred's body is exposed, and he will definitely be shot.Chu Quan's soul was trembling violently, tears welling up.After experiencing the front line of life and death, he suddenly became less afraid, and a sense of desolation hit him.He remembered the way Fred rushed over just now, struggled to break free from the boy's arms, dragged him to the other corner of the table, and at the same time pressed his head tightly, exposing himself to the gunpoint.

Chu Quan was so strong at the moment, Fred struggled under him, but couldn't lift his head, and asked angrily, "What are you doing!"

The gunman took two steps in their direction, saw that it was the guy with black eyes, hesitated for two seconds, but a stern look flashed across his face, and he pulled the trigger with his finger.

Suddenly someone shouted: "Barryisn'there!"

The gangster turned around and pulled the trigger. The person who spoke screamed and rolled on the ground clutching his arms, and the crowd wailed suppressedly.

When he heard the gunshot, Chu Quan's hand loosened. Fred looked up, only to see that Chu Quan closed his eyes tightly, so hard that the eye sockets were covered with wrinkles.His eyelashes fluttered violently, like leaves in a rainstorm.He was obviously so scared, but he still pulled him away without hesitation.

"It's okay, it's okay." Fred straightened up and hugged Chu Quan, kissing his bloodless lips.

A primitive impulse dominated them, Chu Quan accepted the kiss without hesitation, and sucked the other's lips desperately.The tears that flowed to the corners of his mouth were roughly licked, salty and bitter.

On the other side, the two gunmen discovered that the person who had just spoken was Barry's friend, and one of them walked over and stepped on the wound of the person, pressing for Barry's whereabouts.

The painful cries of the curly-haired middle-aged man resounded through the bar, and a woman tightly covered her mouth, and the crying still leaked out.The gunman guarding the door pulled the trigger, and the bullet hit the woman between the eyebrows, spattering brains and blood.There was a deathly silence in the bar, no one dared to cry anymore.

Chu Quan and Fred embraced tightly, kissing more and more desperately.At this time, there was another gunshot, and the gunman who was tormenting the middle-aged man let out a beast-like roar and fell to the ground.

The gunmen at the door were horrified, they couldn't find the enemy, so they shot around cursing.Amidst the thrilling sound, Chu Quan and Fred hugged their heads and curled up under the crumbling table.

With an angry "gotohell", the gunman at the door also fell.

The crowd became agitated again, and there was a concentrated explosion of crying and screaming. Fred caught a glimpse of the big black brother standing in the corner who had prevented them from entering the bar before. It was he who was holding the gun he found somewhere and wounded the two gangsters.

"Everybody it's safe now!"

As soon as the words fell, all the people moved towards the door in a scrambling manner. Fred dragged Chu Quan out from under the three-legged table, and ran towards the door.Chu Quan's legs were weak, and he fell down within a few steps, and was almost trampled by the crowd swarming from behind.

They don't know the direction, just run wildly.There was a waning moon overhead, and the road was glowing with a layer of indifferent white light.The noise and cries behind them became farther and farther away, and gradually only the sound of their heavy footsteps remained around.

"Where is this?" Chu Quan stopped looking at the gloomy tree shadow.

"I don't know." Fred panted with his arms crossed, "I've never been here, but maybe it's too dark to see clearly."

The two stood in place and rested for a while, the joy of the rest of their lives overwhelmed them little by little. "I'm sorry," Fred said, "I shouldn't have taken you to the bar."

Chu Quan shook his head exhaustedly: "I don't blame you."

Fred took a few steps forward, and suddenly saw a dim neon light in the distance, and greeted Chu Quan in surprise: "There is a motel over there!"

It really was a small motel, the light board was covered with dust, and the outer wall had turned yellow.A dozing Asian woman sat at the front desk, barely opened her eyes and said a price. Fred paid, and the woman threw them a key, and they went back to Zhou Gong.

The room was on the second floor, and as soon as the door was opened, a faint musty smell rushed in.There was a double bed inside, and the sheets hadn't been changed in a long time, and they were dusty.Chu Quan didn't care about that much, so he patted casually and lay down on it. Fred looked into the bathroom and told him there was hot water.Chu Quan lay on the not-so-soft bed, said "um" and didn't move.

Fred came out of the bathroom, stood by the bed and looked down at him: "Are you all right?"

"It's okay." Chu Quan was shrouded in the opponent's shadow, feeling that the atmosphere was weird, so he struggled to remember. Fred held his hand, pulled him up and didn't let go, but held it tightly.He sat down by the bed, and the two looked at each other, speechless for a while.Chu Quan found a trace of blood on the corner of his mouth, and recalled the out-of-control kiss before, and suddenly felt that everything tonight was extraordinarily crazy.

At this time, there was no frightening gunshot, no mournful cry, only a dim lamp, cracked walls and dark blue bed curtains.

Fred looked at him deeply: "Let's make love."

What happened tonight made Chu Quan's nerves no longer have the time to generate violent emotions. When he met those clear and bright black eyes, he not only did not refuse, but smiled instead.

Fred cupped his face and kissed it very tenderly.Chu Quan also clumsily licked his wound with his tongue like an animal healing his wound.This lingering kiss lasted for a long time, until Fred tentatively put his hand into his clothes, Chu Quan couldn't help shaking.

Fred stopped moving, a fine layer of sweat forming on his wheat-colored skin.His voice became low because of lust: "Is this your first time?"

Chu Quan swallowed nervously as an answer.

"I'll tell you a secret," Fred pursed his lips and said in a breathy voice, "Me too."

"Really?" Chu Quan didn't believe it, and looked at him suspiciously.

Fred's face was as red as his hair, and he nodded: "Really."

They all suddenly giggled. Fred rummaged in the drawer next to him, Chu Quan jumped off the bed: "I'm going to take a shower!"

"Zhou Yang! Don't bring one like this!" Fred gestured to the small tent on his lower body with his chin.Chu Quan didn't realize the name for a while, but his eyes fell on the bulge, and he hurried away with hands and feet. Fred took out a bottle of lubricating fluid and a box of condoms from the drawer, and squeezed into the bathroom before he locked the door: "I'll wash it with you!"

The first time is always tough, and they stayed up late that day.The sky has turned dark blue before sunrise, and there are sporadic cars passing by. "Go to sleep." Fred put his arms around Chu Quan and said briskly, "Wake up and take you to play."

"Okay." Chu Quan said.

Fred fell asleep quickly, with one hand on Chu Quan's waist, the corners of his mouth slightly curled up, as if he had a sweet dream.Chu Quan didn't sleep, he listened quietly to the light and long breathing of the person next to him with the delicate mood of experiencing sex for the first time.

In just one day, so many things happened.I don't know if my mother got in touch with my cousin, the family must be very anxious.Did Chu Hanlin miss Chu Mingyuan's graduation ceremony?Do Chu Mingyuan and Fred know each other?Chu Quan thought aimlessly, and finally his eyes fell on the sleeping face beside him.

Gradually, the sun rose.When the first ray of sunlight shone into the small room, Chu Quan knew it was time to leave.He dressed lightly and tucked the pillow upright into the bed, into Fred's arms.

With everything in order, he turned the rusty doorknob slightly and took one last look back. Fred was still soundly asleep, his hair lighter in the sun, with a hazy blond edge.He is a very good person, Chu Quan thought, he said so much yesterday, but forgot to tell me his name.Chu Quan only knew his surname was Guan, and his English name was Fred.

But these are enough, after all, they are just strangers who met by chance, even if they did depend on each other for life and death, and embraced in the most intimate posture, even if he has fallen in love with him.

Chu Quan walked down the old and dirty stairs, and the lady at the front desk was sleeping on the table.A gray bird flew in through the half-open door and pecked at the lady's hair.

He left without a sound, into the breeze and sunshine.

There was nothing to recall about what happened afterwards. Chu Quan went to a populated place, contacted his cousin, bought a plane ticket to New York, and returned home after a few days.At first he always thought of Fred, and even wanted to go back to Los Angeles to find him, but the aftereffects of the shooting gradually became apparent, and he had nightmares more and more frequently.When he woke up from the bloody dream again, Wen Ruoting got angry and asked him seriously what happened.In desperation, Chu Quan confessed to going to Los Angeles to find Chu Hanlin and experiencing the shooting.Wen Ruoting felt distressed and angry, and took him to see a psychiatrist.A few months later, Chu Quan's condition stabilized, but the memory of that night became more and more blurred. Together with Fred, only the iconic red hair was left to recall.

After that, ten years passed like a blink of an eye.Chu Quan did not tell anyone about this secret affair. Fred became his nameless deity, worshiped devoutly by him, and occasionally met in dreams.He didn't think about looking for him anymore, after all, with that man's charm, he must have a new lover.He just needs to love him from a distance, and then live his life well.

He didn't expect that Fred would never forget him, life is like a rushing river, who would remember a drop of water passing by?

However, someone will remember.

The red-haired boy came to him after a long time, his hair changed color, his facial features were no longer green, but his firm and clean eyes remained the same as before.Chu Quan has acted in so many TV dramas where he fell in love at first sight, but none of them could compare to the heartbeat he felt the day he saw Fred.

Maybe some things were really meant to be, because ten years later, he fell in love with him again.

"Where are you now?" The two started the video, and Chu Quan saw Guan Qianyue cross-legged
