Views:

Bai Jinyi had a grand and beautiful dream. In the dream, he was standing on the boxing ring he was most familiar with. Outside the ropes was an endless golden wheat field. Bai Jinyi remembered that his mother once read a book to him when he was young. Books, foxes and roses in golden wheat fields.

He wanted to get out of the boxing ring, but was stopped by the rope. He raised his head, the sky was full of stars above his head, and one of the brightest and biggest stars was slowly falling towards him.

Bai Jin stretched out his hand subconsciously, and the star landed right in his arms, burning his heart.

"..." When Bai Jin woke up, his right hand clenched into a fist and pressed against his heart. He was panting, and a low rumbling sound came from his ears. The rice in the sun is sweet.

The early morning in the countryside was quiet and simple, with only the occasional gurgling sound of running water outside, Bai Jin sat up and looked down at his palm, Jiang Shen was not by his side.

Towels and toothbrushes were prepared in advance. It was the first time for Young Master Bai to brush his teeth and wash his face in the open-air yard. He squatted awkwardly under the faucet, frowning, always worried that the water would splash on his slippers.

The shallow coolness of October turned into mist in the mountains. As soon as Bai Jin finished washing his face, he looked up and saw Jiang Shen walking into the yard with a thermos.

The two met face to face, and were a little stunned for a moment.

"Are you awake?" Jiang Shen said first, he was very shy, lowered his head and then raised his head, his ears turned red, but he still boldly stepped forward and squatted beside Bai Jinyi, " I'll wash your towels for you."

Bai Jinyi then handed him the towel, and Jiang Shen rubbed it against the faucet a few times, watching Bai Jinyi take it and wipe his face again.

Bai Jin asked, "Where have you been?"

Jiang Shen raised the thermos cup: "Let me get some soy milk made by Aunt Hua'er."

Bai Jin nodded, and didn't speak any more. He looked at Jiang Shen, and his heart became hot little by little.

Bai Jin moistened his throat, stretched out his hand to grab Jiang Shen's fingertips, and said, "Jiang Shen, I..."

"Why do you get up so early?" Tan Lingling came out while combing her hair, her voice was clear, "Did you bring back the soy milk?"

"It's back." Jiang Shen hurriedly stood up.

Bai Jin only felt that his palm was empty, and the coolness on Jiang Shen's fingertips was gone. He clenched his fists and frowned a little annoyed.

Tan Lingling asked him enthusiastically, "Did you sleep well?"

Bai Jin nodded, covered his hot face with a cold towel, and said vaguely, "Thank you, Auntie..."

Tan Lingling: "Oh, thank you, you are my godson." She greeted the two of them to come in for breakfast, "I baked pancakes for you, and we will go out to play after eating."

The two woke up too early this time, and the neighbors and partners around them were still lying in bed. They had nothing to do when they were full, so Jiang Shen could only take Bai Jinyi out for a stroll.

Tan Lingling still gave a handful of odds and ends and a handful of candies, telling her, "It's fun, play whatever you want, and buy whatever you want."

That's what I said, but there is really nothing to buy in the countryside. There are plenty of fresh oranges and dates in the fruit garden. You can eat them by yourself. Jiang Shen climbed up the tree and picked a few ripe reeds. Tangerine, Bai Jinyi looked up at him from below.

"Come down." The boxing champion urged a few times, he felt that he couldn't do anything here, like a girl.

Jiang Shen lifted a bag from the hem of his clothes, and slowly climbed down: "This is very sweet, eat more."

As soon as Bai Jin stretched out his hand, he hugged Jiang Shen halfway.

"Hey! My oranges." Jiang Shen was half hugged, and several oranges rolled out of his clothes.

Bai Jin hugged him and didn't let him go down: "No more."

Jiang Shen struggled for a while, then reluctantly gave up and said, "Okay."

Although the citrus was lost, Bai Jinyi did not let him go. He hugged Jiang Shen all the way out of the garden. Jiang Shen peeled the citrus in his arms, broke off a piece and stuffed it into Bai Jinyi's mouth. .

"Is it sweet?" he asked.

Bai Jin nodded: "Sweet."

Jiang Shen narrowed his eyes with a smile, he was thinking of coming down, but Bai Jin reluctantly let go, muttering: "You are not heavy..."

Jiang Shen was not very embarrassed: "I'm not a girl."

Bai Jin took a look at him and said seriously, "I know you're not a girl."

Before that, Jiang Shen was actually not sure whether Bai Jinyi understood that men can like men. His feelings were warm and simple. When he realized that he liked Bai Jinyi, even if he was confused, he never regretted the pain.

Jiang Shen thought, it doesn't matter if Bai Jinyi doesn't like him, it's fine if he likes Bai Jinyi.

He pours so much love into one person, as soon as Bai Jin is happy, he will be happy, and as soon as Bai Jin is happy, he will also feel happy.

After picking the citrus, the two went to climb the mountain. The mountains in the south are more hills than mountains, and where there is grass, there are flowers blooming.

Jiang Shen and Bai Jinyi lay on their backs in the sea of flowers, and the sunlight fell mottled on their faces through the branches of the big tree.

Bai Jinyi suddenly said: "Little Swan."

Jiang Shen turned his head to the side, closed his eyes lazily, and agreed, "Huh?"

"I know you're a man." Bai Jinyi said suddenly, "I also know that men can like men."

Jiang Shen opened his eyes, and he watched Bai Jin turn sideways, lying face to face with him.

"I'm not like you. I only know how to box. I'm rude and unattractive." Bai Jinyi said.

Jiang Shen retorted him softly: "No...you look good."

Bai Jin smiled, and said helplessly, "Listen to me."

Jiang Shen nodded, and he calmed down.

Bai Jinyi clasped Jiang Shen's fingers across the banzhilian, his palms were sweaty.

"To me, you are like a star in the sky." Bai Jinyi took a deep breath, and he said slowly, "Then you fell from the sky and fell into my arms." He raised his head, looked at Jiang Shen's eyes, "I want to hide you in my heart, I don't know if you are willing or not?"

Jiang Shen's eyes widened, and he couldn't react for a while, until Bai Jinyi approached him.

The other party propped up his arms, lowered his head, his eyes fell on his face, the sun was covered, and the mottled shade disappeared. Jiang Shen only felt the warmth on his lips, and Bai Jin's slender eyelashes lightly scratched his eyelids.

He kissed him.

In the refreshing mountain wind, under the shadow of a halo, in the sea of flowers.

As soon as Bai Jin pressed his lips, he suddenly whispered: "Jiang Shen, for you, I don't have to go to America."

"..." Jiang Shen obviously hasn't recovered from the kiss just now. He blushed and subconsciously asked, "Why didn't you go...?"

Bai Jin raised his eyebrows: "Aren't you reluctant to part with me?"

Jiang Shen: "I, I don't want to part with you..." He was a little anxious, frowned and said, "But, but..."

As soon as Bai Jin supported his head, he stretched out his fingers and pressed them on Jiang Shen's lips, then leaned over and kissed each other's forehead, eyes, nose tip and cheek bit by bit.

"I like you the most." Bai Jin grinned and smiled, "I love you, little swan."
