Views:

Lv Zhichun fled to Qianjiang, still using the fake ID card and calling him "Zhichun" who said "The grass tree Zhichun will return soon". Even if he was sneered at by Qiao Fengtian, he still felt that these two words were pleasant to listen to. Whether listening or writing, there was an unexpected quiet and figurative enthusiasm.

Qianjiang is one of the first coastal cities to develop. It is the same as the bustling and bustling city of Linan. The difference is that it becomes more difficult to survive and stand on a foothold. The front and back are empty, and the air is full of freedom and loneliness.

In the first month, I spent only half of my savings to rent a small dormitory in an urban village 80 feet away from the city. It was wet and leaking, and cockroaches were infested. Two springs were broken on a camp bed, and a bay window was broken. With half a piece of frosted glass missing, the dilapidated and shabby thief saw that he could not bear to leave the money to go, and it was far worse than Linan Lujiawa.

In the second month, the large and small talent markets were all over the place, and the recruitment notices received a thick pile of various colors. The compilation of famous companies was automatically filtered and ignored. Small units and small companies basically had no way to have both experience and academic qualifications. Lv Zhichun didn't read much, and he thought that Lv Zhichun's thin arms and legs couldn't stand the wind and the sun. After finally receiving a promotional interview notice, I went to see it and found out that I was caught in the intermediary's routine, and I was almost cheated into pants.

In the third month, when I boiled instant noodles, I broke a low-power electric cooker and cut off the electricity in the small dormitory on the first floor. The landlord was more talkative than Lu Jiawa, so he went upstairs to turn on the electric box and turned on the switch again. , said nothing.

In the third month and a half, the landlord introduced him to a job as a restaurant host. It was at the front desk of this bar that Lv Zhichun met Tong Qing by accident.

The weather was bad that night, and there was a gray rain curtain outside. Lv Zhichun cherished this hard-won job opportunity, and tried to be diligent in his efforts to leave a good impression on the store manager that he was worthy of appointment. He twisted a clean rag and was wiping the corners of the cash register. Hearing a light cough in front of him, he looked up and saw Tong Qing, whose black hair was soaked by the rain, and the thin cheek muscles were concave.

Lu Zhichun asked him what kind of service he needed in his standard Mandarin. Thinking that he was a local and had to speak Qianjiang dialect to understand, Lu Zhichun turned around and planned to call another host.

"Hey..." The man whispered, calling him hesitantly. Lu Zhichun stopped, tried his best to pull the corners of his mouth and pretended to smile patiently and kindly, and looked at him with questioning eyes again. The other party raised his thumb and pointed across the shoulder to the window booth behind him. From a distance, he looked at two middle-aged men and a woman who were sitting there, "... pay the bill."

Forty-seven meals, he has to swipe his card. Lv Zhichun pushed the UnionPay purchase order forward, and when he handed over the pen to sign, he found that his right hand was slender and white, but it was shaking slightly. He gripped the pen too tightly, causing his joints to turn white and blue, and he hesitated for a moment like a blind person touching an elephant. , only to fall into the blank. The trend was messy and unstable, the dragon was flying and the phoenix was dancing.

Lv Zhichun looked at Lv Zhichun again with an ambiguous look before turning around and walking away. Lv Zhichun looked at him suspiciously as he turned around the fence, the silhouette was cut into backlit lines, and then he lowered his head to look at the purchase order-Tong Qing, which was stained with sweat on the other party's hands.

There is a line of indistinct small characters after the name, squinting to identify - SOS.

Regardless of whether it is big or small, Lu Zhichun chose to hide it from the store manager after struggling for a while, and fled to the toilet in a panic to call the police. The police arrived quickly and took away the caller and Tong Qing, which caused a sudden commotion in the restaurant.

Later, Tong Qing was able to escape from the telecom fraud gang and was saved. The company headquarters gave Lu Zhichun an 8,000 reward, but the branch manager, for fear of subsequent retaliation by the gang, involved a series of unnecessary property and personal injuries, and fired Lu under the cover. Zhichun's squid. Since then, Lv Zhichun suddenly understood that things are impermanent and life-threatening, and that he is not suitable to build a relationship with anyone.

Later, the man did not know the address he inquired about, and unexpectedly appeared downstairs in Lv Zhichun's dilapidated small dormitory.

For the first time, I brought up an imported fruit basket as big as a pot, just for Xie Lv Zhichun to see justice and help out. It was only then that Tong Qing knew that he was a young student and studied locally. Before he was accidentally abducted into a fraudulent organization, he was a medical student who came out of Dashan Libo to study and was single in Qianjiang. Tong Qing found that his condition was not as good as that day. He was actually a cheerful, smiling and somewhat shy boy.

The second time I came back, I heard the news that he had been fired from nowhere. He rode his bicycle over with indignation and spoke bluntly. He was full of indignation and apologetic. When he tried to comfort Lu Zhichun, his mouth seemed to have just grown. The slowness and stagnation of the words are not easy to use, and the stumbling and stumbling are not clear. When it arrived, I also felt annoyed, and it was better to move my mouth than to act, so I raised my hand and slapped myself.

The third time, he dragged Lu Zhichun onto his bicycle. The wheel of the bicycle spun round and round, running over the three streets and six alleys of the old city of Qianjiang in one day, and he would not stop until he found a new job for him. Tong Qing was not very good at speaking. When recruiting part-time staff to communicate and receive, he did not know what to say for Lv Zhichun. He stood up straight, nodding his head from time to time, and interjecting: "He can do this! He'll do it for sure!"

The fourth time, Lv Zhichun hired the evening salesperson of the Xinhua Bookstore. The salary was not high, but the environment was good. The place was clean and the people were less busy. Tong Qing found out on the other end of the phone. He sounded a hundred times happier than Lv Zhichun himself, so he came to deliver a beef claypot rice from the school cafeteria at night.

For the fifth time, Tong Qing returned to her hometown to report safety, and sent a box of seasonal specialties, yellow peaches and mulberries from her hometown far away, with a small note that said "eat as soon as possible".

Qianjiang's Futian was extremely hot and vicious. Lu Zhichun kneaded the white-haired fist rhubarb peach in his hand, as if he was touching a plump organ that was soft and close to the hand. When Lv Zhichun was a child, he always felt that the peach core was shaped like a human brain, with ravines and ravines, winding and dense circuits. When he was a child, he thought that walnuts were peach pits, and peach pits were walnuts. Many things don't become correct because they think they are long, just like before he confirms that he is different from ordinary people, he thinks this difference in likes and dislikes is nothing.

For more than ten years, I thought that the day and night would change, but in fact, it was too much.

Lv Zhichun was a little scared. Later, when Tong Qing returned to Qianjiang, he deliberately distanced himself and didn't contact him much. Lv Zhichun found that this person's eyebrows, eyes, smell, smile and tone of voice gradually began to linger quietly in his mind and dreams, often appearing. He was like a moth who couldn't control himself, attracted by the firelight, or someone who couldn't help but itch and try to jump down while standing on the edge of the top of a high-rise building. The ending was clear, and his unwilling intentions lured him to try again.

Tong Qing's family was too poor, and the things he saw were scarce, so he subtly believed in his heart that all good things came quietly to him, and there were gifts or fate.

The two-inch green grasshopper I caught when I was a child; the rich snow that covered crops overnight; the biology teacher who taught him that "culture is rooted in self-cultivation and self-awareness"; A thin admission notice; the Rapunzel who secretly liked him for three years and finally revealed his chaotic sexuality.

Poor and monotonous material accidental swordsmanship contributed to his small and simple matchbox-like heart, which was easy to fill, even if it was a twist of sand or a brown transparent cicada slough, an outdated and inconspicuous thing that others could not see. He even accepted this not-so-good sexuality.

The classmates said that he was simple and happy, but he didn't know that the reality was cold and the world was dangerous, and he was too heartless. One day he was sold and counted the money for others, and he didn't know how happy he was. As a result, it was a prophecy. Because of a completely kind and enthusiastic reaching out to help, he was unfortunately shackled in evil and could not get out.

During the two and a half months of being trapped, Tong Qing's values have undergone a meticulous reconstruction process that has been "finely crafted", and it has been a long and difficult four seasons.

Those who defraud others of ill-gotten money for old age or life-saving can also sleep soundly at night; human nature is deep, and the meticulous and extraordinary mind is more careful when doing evil, and there is no trace of omission. A tool of dignity is a parasitic accessory that lives around a man for food, drink and sex; if he doesn't seek self-protection, he can also be Li Mochou who steps Hong Lingbo into the flower of love without frowning.

It's not that Tong Qing has no chance to get out of trouble, but without exception, he either flinched in the face of battle, or was ignored by others hesitantly and repeatedly rejected.

Until I met Lv Zhichun at a glance, I saw him carefully raising his hands and sideways to avoid a child who was laughing and running around in the hall, and I saw him looking back at the child's exquisite and petite back as he walked away. Like, a small smile.

Tong Qing likes to grasp the lens of the master Bresson, and fatefully captures the decisive moment without light, shadow and composition.

Just like that, Tong Qing's desire to survive surged all the way to the heaven from the soles of his feet. He intuitively told him that he could take a gamble, that boy, maybe he was the light and hope that he would die and be born again.

Bet won, saved.

He later found out that Lu Zhichun was not a brave person. He was sensitive and thoughtful, timid and even more than others; he was not a person who cared enough about life and calm enough about whether it was good or bad - he would eat when he was hungry, If you can’t remember and don’t eat it, if the stomach pain is not serious, then it doesn’t matter whether you take medicine or not; the work is too difficult, and it’s hard to do it well, so don’t try to be pretentious; there are many bad people, and there are many good people, I am powerless If you can tell them apart by their similar faces, then just don't touch them.

After a short time together, Tong Qing felt as if he was dragging him and running forward desperately. Just like the evening when he rode a bicycle and drove him through the third and sixth alleys of Qianjiang, the street trees stood silently on both sides of the street, and all kinds of pedestrians gathered or scattered, but the two of them seemed to be walking in a deserted field, chasing after the wind. The sun in front of him couldn't help but want to bear a fate that he didn't know clearly, maybe a very sad fate for him, help him spread his contracted wings and watch him take off and fly over Guanling.

Tong Qing suffered from the loss of sexuality, and for men, she could not escape curiosity and gratitude, and directly arrived at the immature budding love. He carefully wrapped the yellow peaches and put them into a cardboard box, like a girl with nine twists and eighteen twists of mind, also packed into it.

Qianjiang's rainbow party was successfully reported and approved at Shin Kong Plaza in the city. When the online publicity was conducted, the circle immediately exploded, and the excitement was like a never-slave orc raising his arms and shouting "freedom". .

Qiao Fengtian didn't like to join in the fun, and was stunned by Zheng Siqi's two full-price air tickets with unknown destinations, and He Qian's rhetoric, coaxing and deceiving him. For him, making money to support his family is the top priority in his life. For him, stopping work and traveling is a double waste of human and financial resources. What's more, there is a large 800-watt human-shaped light bulb that has no vision at all.

But Qiao Fengtian had to admit that that night, he saw the most beautiful rainbow in his life.

The Xintiandiguang Station in Qianjiang has a vast area with a towering and straight A-type iron tower in the center. All the neon lights on the tower were opened that night, showing gorgeous colors of red, orange, yellow, green, blue, blue and purple, which became a wonderful place to visit. The rainbow tower with vertigo.

The number of people participating was unexpectedly large, as if they came from mountains, rivers, lakes and seas and gathered in one place, crowded and bustling, some single, some in pairs, or quite old, or slightly younger, some. Men and men, women and men, those who became the focus, or both wore suits, or both wore wedding dresses, painted rainbow flags with acrylic on their faces, and held high "love is love" rainbow card.

Later, under the colorful bars flying all over the square, under the huge background sound of Zhang Huimei's "Rainbow", the rainbow flag held up by everyone, as big as a dome that shelters the wind and rain, was slowly unfolded and held high to the sky . The people under the shadow of the flag hug and kiss freely and as usual, as if there was never any objection.

He had squeezed past the crowd, and when he turned his head, he saw Qiao Fengtian and Zheng Siqi also hugging each other, and with a sound of "Ouch!"

Qiao Fengtian couldn't help laughing, "If you have to come, you have to come, do you know what a group of demons dances?"

Zheng Siqi put his chin on top of his head, and wrapped his arms around him tightly, "No, it's very beautiful."

"What's so beautiful?" Qiao Fengtian asked.

"Rainbow is beautiful." Zheng Siqi replied.

"I think you want to praise me." Qiao Fengtian pretended to pouted, then laughed again, "It's boring."

"All praise." Zheng Siqi leaned in and kissed him on the face, "I praise you for being a baby, and let me meet such a beautiful rainbow."

The colorful fireworks suddenly lifted into the sky with a bang, and when they exploded with a bang, the huge light illuminated the dark blue night sky instantly as bright as day, reflecting the crowd. Just like under the blue sky and daylight, these people fall in love, it is just a common thing, but it can translate sadness and joy into small things every second.

Zheng Siqi breathed on his face, hugged him and kissed him gently, Qiao Fengtian was dizzy again, and for a moment he forgot to tell Zheng Siqi that he had just seen Lv Zhichun's thin figure in a trance.

The sky was filled with brilliant fireworks, and Tong Qing grabbed Lu Zhichun's arm and wrist in the crowd, "Hey you!"

Lu Zhichun turned his head back in surprise and forgot to put his hand away, and his face looked bewildered and embarrassed after that. The bright rainbow flag patterns on the two people's faces complemented each other. It was as if they had glimpsed through each other.

Lv Zhichun had deliberately avoided contacting him for half a month. Seeing that his black hair was slightly stretched to cover his brows, he vaguely felt that his wrists and cheeks were boiling together.

"That, that, what..." Tong Qing scratched the back of his head and rubbed his neck, "I am, actually, I am, look at me today... No, I mean..." I'm gay.

Lu Zhichun pulled his hand back, and Tong Qing clenched it tightly as if he had reacted.

"I want to ask... Then, that, are those peaches delicious?"

After he finished speaking, Tong Qing raised Yu Yu's hand and slapped herself—damn stupid!

Lu Zhichun was stunned for a long time, and half opened his mouth. After a while, he couldn't help but let out a laugh. He lowered his head and raised the tip of his nose, nodded slightly, and said, "Well, it's delicious."

Tong Qing saw the fireworks in his eyes, shining like a star fell into his eyes. Cao Shu Zhichun will return soon, and he thinks his name is really beautiful and nice.
