A nighthawk that flew from nowhere, lightly landed on the eaves of the window and made a cry of "tower, tower, tower", breaking into the quiet darkness like a night elf.
The tundra wolf in the house came over after hearing the sound.
It was too late for Lin Wu and Wang Ye to run away. The two students who were observing secretly were separated by the glass, facing the eyes of the tundra wolf.
The air was suddenly quiet.
Lin Wu subconsciously pulled Wang Ye back, a little bit away from the window, the pace and rhythm were the same as when he met the bear.
As the distance increases, the situation inside the window becomes more and more blurred.
In the last second before the scene in the house completely disappeared from view, Lin Wu seemed to see the tundra wolf pick up the neatly folded clothes on the other side of the kang.
After a while, the door opened from the inside, and Tao Qiran, who had changed into a human form, came out wearing that suit.
So Zhao Lige not only remodeled the door, but also prepared his uncle's clothes at any time, so that he could change them when he came back
Lin Wujing thought that there were some of these, and when he regained his senses, Tao Qiran had gently closed the door and came to him.
"Why are you two here?" Tao Qiran tilted his head suspiciously, looking at Lin Wu and Wang Ye's eyes, as if they had just appeared out of nowhere. As for being peeped, it doesn't matter at all.
"It's not just us..." Lin Wu glanced at the direction of the guest room with a complicated expression, "There's a room over there."
Tao Qiran never felt wronged by his curiosity, and immediately turned around and walked out of the guest room window, looking in with his face against the glass. Unlike Lin Wu and Wang Ye just now, he peeped so that he could be called an open and honest person.
After seeing the classmates on the kang and the ground, Tao Qiran turned around in confusion: "What's going on?"
His voice was low and soft, clearly not wanting to alarm anyone, no matter which room it was from.
Lin Wu glanced at Wang Ye a little embarrassedly, and really didn't know where to start with Tao Qiran: "This matter, it's a long story..."
"It's not a long story," Wang Ye said indifferently, "I ran over by myself first," and raised his chin in the direction of Lin Wu and the guest room, "They came to find me."
Tao Qiran blinked, and then rejoiced: "You are quite popular."
Wang Ye was surprised by the other party's indifferent response: "This is the end?"
Regardless of the details, he knows that what he said just now is too general to be more general. This is seven or eight people who are not attending school classes, and suddenly come to Changbai Mountain. Everyone has to be curious about the ins and outs, right
Tao Qiran was stunned by Wang Ye's rhetorical question. After a while, he nodded clearly: "Then I found you now. Do you plan to stay here for a while, or go back together as soon as possible?"
… is for you to dig deeper, not for you to ask follow-up.
Wang Ye raised his eyebrows slightly, realizing the subtle difference in Tao Qiran for the first time.
Rather than saying that this man is like a wolf, it is more like the wind, a light and free existence, you don't know where he will blow, and you will never be able to catch him.
"We'll be back tomorrow," Lin Wu said, remembering Zhao Li's waiting, and couldn't help asking, "Uncle, how long will you stay in the wooden house this time?"
Tao Qiran gave him a naughty smile: "If I hadn't seen you, I would have left now."
"Now?" Lin Wu was stunned, "Didn't you just come back..."
"If you wait too long, you will be discovered." Tao Qiran was serious.
Lin Wu was completely at a loss: "Uncle, what are you doing?"
"Why have you become stupid," Tao Qiran frowned slightly, but his bent eyes were full of indulgence and tolerance, "You can't see it when you are missing?"
Lin Wu: "But why?"
Tao Qiran sighed seriously: "Only in this way can your stubborn Zhao Lige go down the mountain."
Lin Wu was a little angry, maybe because he loved Zhao Li too much, or because he was angry at his uncle's willfulness: "Then why did you promise him to go up the mountain in the first place?"
Oh, I made a good promise at the beginning, but now I want to go to the forest by myself, and I have to kick people down the mountain again
Wang Ye didn't want to interrupt, but when he heard this, he also felt that Tao Qiran was far away: "If you want him to go, just tell him no."
Tao Qiran's smile faded, and his eyes calmed down, like the moonlight shrouded in gauze.
"If my words worked, he wouldn't even be able to climb the mountain. Now he should be in a coffee shop and continue to live his life."
Wang Ye and Lin Wu were both stunned.
What does this mean? Could it be that Tao Qiran doesn't agree with Zhao Li leaving everything behind to go up the mountain? That's why I didn't return for a long time, and wanted to let Zhao Li leave...
The two suddenly realized that they might have entered a misunderstanding of thinking.
Because Zhao Li couldn't transform into a beast for a long time, they took it for granted that Zhao Li was "begging for nothing", and to put it bluntly, a person involved in Tao Qiran's actions following his own heart.
But maybe it was wrong from the start.
It was Zhao Li who made the decision.
It wasn't that Tao Qiran tied him to this mountain forest and this wooden house. On the contrary, Zhao Li was the only thread that pulled Tao Qiran into the mountain forest.
A roar of some kind of beast suddenly came from the mountains in the distance, and "Plap La La" startled the birds resting in the forest.
Tao Qiran hurriedly looked up and looked at the flock of birds flying across the sky, raised his index finger and pressed it to his lips: "Shh—"
This move was naive and childish.
Not to mention the distance of 108,000 miles, even with those birds above their heads, it is impossible to listen to Tao Qiran's words.
But when the birds go away, the echoes of the mountains and forests gradually dissipate.
Tao Qiran nodded in satisfaction, and the corners of his eyes with a slight smile were as gentle as moonlight.
At this moment, Lin Wu suddenly felt a strange envy.
Tao Qiran really integrates himself into this mountain. He never worries about whether the birds can understand his language. He is a part of this vast forest, a wolf, a bird, a forest, a stream, and nature itself. .
Beneath his tenderness, his faith is like a deep sea.
Even though he was already able to transform into a beast, Lin Wu was still confused. He wished that he could have such a day, clearly knowing what he wanted and what he wanted to pursue, and for this reason, he did not look back and moved forward persistently.
The night wind returned to silence.
Tao Qiran's distant gaze fell back on Lin Wu and Wang Ye.
"Let Lin Wu save some snacks," he said to Wang Ye first, his face deliberately sullen, and there was a little dissatisfaction in his low voice, "Don't run around on impulse."
"..." Wang Ye's brows were almost knotted, feeling that every word needed to be refuted, but he couldn't be confident for a while.
After talking about the troublemakers, Tao Qiran turned to Lin Wu, his expression softened, and even a little pitiful: "Don't tell Zhao Li that I have come back."
Lin Wu wanted to nod, but—
His eyes crossed Tao Qiran's shoulders and looked in the direction of Zhao Liwu, his eyes gradually becoming complicated.
Tao Qiran frowned and knew it was over.
"I can't run away." He sighed and turned back slowly.
At the door of the main house, Zhao Li stood silently under the eaves, no one knew how long he had been out.
He stared fixedly here, his eyes darker than the night.
The moon looks like it has been washed by the rain during the day, and it is extraordinarily clear.
Zhao Li's intensity, which has always been deep in his eyes, almost broke through the night.
While Tao Qiran turned around, he quietly hid all the sincere, heavy, and reluctant things, as if he had never been by the bedside, and had never treated anyone as a treasure.
"Why do you sleep so lightly, you have to wake up at the slightest movement." Facing Zhao Li, Tao Qiran's face was full of willful complaints.
"If I don't wake up, when are you going to tell me?" Zhao Li opened his mouth with a gloomy hoarseness.
"Huh?" Tao Qiran pretended to be stupid and blinked innocently, "Tell what?"
Wang Ye knew who Lin Wu learned from pretending to be innocent.
Zhao Li glanced at Lin Wu and Wang Ye, obviously not wanting to discuss openly with Tao Qiran: "Go into the room and talk."
Tao Qiran didn't respond for a while, and didn't move his feet.
Zhao Li's expression did not change: "If you decide to run away now, don't come back again, and you don't need to come back secretly."
Tao Qiran finally returned to the house with Zhao Li.
When there were only Lin Wu and Wang Ye left in the yard, Lin Wu suddenly slapped his forehead: "I forgot to mention the beast transformation!"
Wang Ye looked at the main house where two people had already entered, but it was still dark, and shrugged: "They can't care about us now, let's talk about it tomorrow."
In the main house, Zhao Li stood at the intersection of the night and the moon, half light and half dark.
Tao Qiran hopes it is the latter.
He didn't want to be Zhao Li's night.
However, Zhao Li will never go according to whoever wants or doesn't want to, no matter before or now.
…
five years ago.
Tao Qiran: I'm going to stay in school.
When he received this WeChat message, Zhao Li was in the newly renovated cafe, preparing to start the first spring of his career.
There is still one hour before the grand opening, the invited pianist is already in place, and all the clerks are busy with the final preparations.
Zhao Li simply asked a few words and went up to the second floor.
There is a vacant room, very spacious, ready to be used as a studio for Tao Qiran, who has returned from graduation.
be a teacher? — Zhao Li leaned against the wall of the empty room, replying to the message.
Tao Qiran: Well, stay at school to teach.
Zhao Li: Got it.
Tao Qiran: Is that so
Zhao Li:
The WeChat side was quiet for a longer time this time.
Then, Tao Qiran came back with a message: Don't you want to come to Beijing
Zhao Li: Will you stay in Beijing
Tao Qiran: It should be.
Zhao Li: Are you not going to the mountains to paint
Tao Qiran: Go, of course, the biggest reason I agree to stay at school is that I have winter and summer vacations as a teacher [smiling.jpg]
Zhao Li: When I earn enough money, you don't need to be a teacher, you can paint on the mountain all year round.
Tao Qiran: Don't always draw cakes for me, I will take it seriously.
Zhao Li: I'm afraid you're not being truthful.
Zhao Li: [Photo] [Photo] My shop is about to open.
Tao Qiran: Did you really open a store?
Zhao Li: As I said, I will work hard to make money.
Tao Qiran: ... Then you should have a barbecue. I've never seen a few coffee shops make money.
Zhao Li: Not by coffee shops, but by housing prices.
Tao Qiran:
Zhao Li: The market value of the door, according to the current housing price trend, the value of the purchase has been steadily increasing every year, which is more profitable than most transactions.
Tao Qiran: So coffee shops are just... a hobby
Zhao Li: Decoration, so as not to look unworthy of the name when "Wangpu is for sale" in the future.
Tao Qiran: [You are still rich.jpg]
Zhao Li: Not enough to support you.
Tao Qiran: …
Zhao Li: We have reserved a studio for you on the second floor.
Zhao Li: No matter when you come back, I'll be here waiting for you.
