Chu Xun leaned against the railing on the banks of the Thames, waiting for Lin Yanchen to buy two cups of hot coffee to come back to warm his hands, quietly looking at the river, the wind blowing his hair, he hasn't cut his hair for about two months. Much longer.
Lin Yanchen came back with two cups of coffee, like running errands, and apologized: "I made you wait for a long time."
Chu Xun took a cup of coffee, the temperature seeped into his body from the palm of his hand, and said, "Are you tired? Let's sit there and rest and talk."
Lin Yanchen took out a tissue and wiped the public bench diligently before letting Chu Xun sit down and said, "I will take you to archery in the afternoon? Have you ever played archery? Would you like to give it a try? It's quite interesting."
Chu Xun lacked interest, but he nodded, and the two chatted without a word.
Flakes of snow fell from the sky.
Lin Yanchen saw that Chu Xun raised his head, and the snowflakes fell on the tip of his reddish nose, which was instantly melted and turned into a small crystal drop of water.
Chu Xun said: "There is no way to shoot arrows now."
Lin Yanchen said, "Let's go home."
They got up to leave.
A man in a woolen hat trotted to him with a piece of paper, no, it was a painting.
A pencil drawing of Chu Xun.
In the painting, he turned his face slightly, talking to Lin Yanchen with a smile, Chu Xun was stunned for a while, when he was looking at Xiao Lin, was that the way he looked
Is it so gentle
He didn't know it himself.
The artist said: "Fifty pounds."
Chu Xun handed the painting back: "It's too expensive, you are buying and selling by force."
The painting was intercepted halfway, and Lin Yanchen said, "I will buy it."
Chu Xun looked at him.
Lin Yanchen said, "I can't take pictures, so I can always leave a picture? I'll pay for it myself."
Even so, Lin Yanchen was still worried that Chu Xun would disagree. Chu Xun looked at him and then at the painting. If it's just a photo, just press the delete button, it doesn't feel real, but this is a painting, it's a real thing, if you want to destroy it, you can only destroy it... He couldn't bear it.
buy it.
However, you can't just buy it so easily, it's too embarrassing, Chu Xun bargained and said, "Fifty pounds is too expensive, thirty pounds."
The artist shook his head and argued with reason: "No, fifty pounds, I think my painting is very good, you see, when you look at your lover, you look at your lover with love and a melancholy expression, I paint all the details. Well done, isn't it worth fifty pounds? I think it's cheap."
Chu Xun blushed suddenly, what does "full of love" mean? He immediately turned his face: "I don't buy it anymore."
Lin Yanchen hurriedly said, "I bought it."
To be honest, he has never bought such a cheap painting in his life. In his opinion, he is willing to pay for three or four zeros after the price.
Lin Yanchen still bought the painting for 50 pounds. He was very satisfied, and by the way, he spent a few pounds to buy an old painting tube to protect the painting and hold it in his arms.
Chu Xun looked embarrassed, and said awkwardly, "You really spend money indiscriminately, and you're stupid. You've been cheated."
Lin Yanchen suddenly kissed him: "I like it very much."
Chu Xun was unprepared, and when he came to him personally, he said, "I told you not to do this on the street."
Lin Yanchen was taught obediently: "Oh, then let's go back and I'll kiss again, it's enough to kiss."
Early the next morning.
Chu Xun got up early, wiped off the white fog on the window, and saw that the green courtyard was covered with silver clothes overnight.
When he woke up, he didn't touch Lin Yanchen lying beside him.
Where did Lin Yanchen go
Chu Xun put on his clothes and left the bedroom.
But the house was terrifyingly big, and he didn't know where to find Lin Yanchen.
Chu Xun wandered in the corridor blankly. It was icy and snowy outside, but there were flowers on the table in the warm house. This was a very strange scene. Chu Xun stopped.
Chu Xun hesitated, and even wondered if meeting Lin Yanchen was a dream he had, maybe it was just a sweet dream when he was in critical condition, only in a dream would such a cute and young boy fall in love with him, but dreams and reality What's the difference? Reality is the world space in which a person lives. If he never wakes up and lives in this dream, can this dream be called reality
Chu Xun was distracted when a living person suddenly appeared beside him.
Butler Ed floated to his side like a shadow: "Good afternoon, Mr. Chu. Please come with me."
Chu Xun asked, "Where are you going?"
Ed said respectfully, "You'll know when you come with me."
Chu Xun followed Ed, who handed him a coat and gloves, and opened the door for him: "Mr. Lin is waiting for you."
Chu Xun was dressed neatly, not knowing why, he frowned slightly and walked outside.
Chu Xun looked left and right, not to mention Lin Yanchen's figure, he didn't see anyone nearby, which was strange. What about Xiao Lin? That mask-faced butler doesn't look like he's lying.
At this time, Chu Xun finally heard a different sound.
beep, beep, beep.
Where have you heard it? Chu Xun thought about it, and remembered it was the sound of hooves.
Chu Xun turned his head and saw a small black figure approaching in the distance. Lin Yanchen rode a white horse and came on the snow. He was dressed in black and red riding clothes, like a cluster of fire.
Lin Yanchen stopped his horse in front of him and smiled brightly: "Axun!"
Shuai is very handsome, but Chu Xun frowned and asked suspiciously, "You... ran to ride a horse early in the morning on a snowy day?"
Lin Yanchen was stunned for a moment, and then asked, "Am I not good at riding? Isn't it cool to ride a white horse in a snowy day?"
After Chu Xun realized it, he smiled: "Don't tell me, you just got up so early to get up so early to ride a horse to surprise me just to be handsome. Are you a child?"
Lin Yanchen was poked into his thoughts, but he was not annoyed, and said frankly: "The child is not as good as me when he rides."
He asked again, "Are you going to ride?"
Chu Xun refused without hesitation: "No, the weather is so cold, the snowy roads are slippery, and it's dangerous, I won't play, I'm going back to the stove."
Lin Yanchen rolled over and dismounted, Chu Xun walked over, took off his gloves, and squeezed his face with his hot hands: "Look at your face, it's freezing."
Lin Yanchen was held by Chu Xun and returned to the big house.
It was almost noon, when they had lunch, Lin Yanchen asked, "The snow has stopped, are you still going to play archery?"
Chu Xun still said: "cold, don't go. Just stay with me."
Lin Yanchen thought about it too, so he said, "Okay, then let's play games."
Chu Xun felt that the time he spent with Lin Yanchen was also the time when he played the most video games. When he was a child, the Internet was not developed, and his friends would go to Internet cafes and game halls to play games. Don't look at him like this, in fact, he is underage. Shi also sneaked to play a few times. He was cautious in his work and controlled the time well. He was never discovered by his parents and teachers. Everyone still thought he was a model student of a good boy. Thinking about it now, in fact, there has always been a rebellious factor buried in his body, but there was no chance to attack it before. When he was in his teens or twenties, he also liked to play games, but after work, he was too busy to play games.
A few days ago, he was hospitalized for a foot injury, so he played games with Xiao Lin day and night. Even if I don't go out, I'm very happy with Xiao Lin.
But today, Chu Xun really couldn't be happy.
After playing a few games, Lin Yanchen gradually realized that Chu Xun was in a low mood and was not in high spirits today. He didn't know why he was unhappy, and asked, "What's wrong with you? Are you feeling unwell?"
Chu Xun cheered himself up and smiled reluctantly at him: "No, it's not your fault. I'm a little dizzy, I want to take a nap."
Chu Xun felt that it was not good for him.
It is said that people become lethargic when faced with unsolvable problems, which is the body's subconscious escape from reality.
He had slept until almost eleven o'clock, and after only two or three hours, he was sleepy again. As soon as he slept with his head covered, he slept until five o'clock, and the sky began to get dark outside.
Lin Yanchen called him up to eat. He just woke up, and his body was a little hot. Lin Yanchen touched his forehead worriedly, and said suspiciously, "I think you are sick. I'll find a doctor for you."
But Chu Xun said: "I don't think it's anything, I'm just a little tired and want to sleep. You can find a thermometer and I'll take my temperature."
The temperature was slightly higher, but within the normal range, Chu Xun said, "Look, I'm not sick."
Lin Yanchen said absurdly: "Then it's tiring to go downstairs to eat. I'll let someone bring the rice in and eat in bed."
This is too lazy, Chu Xun shook his head: "No, I'll get up."
Chu Xun felt that his appetite was not good. He didn't seem to have a good appetite recently. A few days ago, he thought it was because he was running around on the road, but it had been three days since he arrived at the manor. He is neither car-sick nor air-sick, and he had a good appetite in the first few days of traveling.
An ominous premonition came to my mind... I couldn't escape it.
Chu Xun only ate a little bit, thinking in his heart how to talk to Lin Yanchen.
Or, let's talk about it tomorrow.
Tomorrow, say it early tomorrow morning.
As a result, Lin Yanchen pressed him with dissatisfaction: "Axun, what's the matter? What are you hiding from me?"
Chu Xun hesitated and said, "Nothing... I'll talk to you tomorrow."
Lin Yanchen was angry: "Speak now! Otherwise I won't be able to sleep."
There was a sudden silence in the room save for the crackling of the burning pine in the fireplace.
Chu Xun lowered his eyelashes, and the soft light enveloped his face. He sighed and said helplessly, "Aren't you paying attention? Xiao Lin, today is January 23rd."
Lin Yanchen didn't react for a while: "What's wrong?"
Chu Xun said slowly, "On the 26th of last month, we made an appointment to be together for a month... four weeks to be precise."
He didn't know why he felt so uncomfortable when he was saying this.
Lin Yanchen seemed to have been slapped in the head. He had so much fun these days that he forgot to count the days, and suddenly panicked: "Does it count as four days for you to be injured and recover in the middle? I don't think it should count."
But Chu Xun said, "Why not? I didn't give you a vacation in those days. You've been with me, and I'm very satisfied."
Lin Yanchen frowned: "I don't think it should be counted."
When Chu Xun heard him being so rude, he smiled and shook his head: "Xiao Lin, don't be like this."
He gathered up his strength and stood up, walked to Lin Yanchen's side, took Lin Yanchen's hand, Lin Yanchen looked down at him, Chu Xun saw his own appearance reflected in those eyes, and his heart was soft.
Chu Xun smiled and said tenderly and gratefully, "Xiao Lin, I've had a good time these days."
"Thank you for being with me, it's time for me to go."
