The Ouyang Chenglin He Yunzhou knew was the kind of man who would never be hidden in the crowd.
This kind of cognition lies in the fact that the other party has been confirmed again at the moment of meeting.
With extreme hesitation, he came to the reserved restaurant as agreed, and He Yunzhou saw him through the glass before he even opened the door.
Perhaps also considering He Yunzhou's character, the restaurant where Ouyang made an appointment to meet was next to their previous university.
The restaurant is not luxurious, it is the kind of small restaurant that can be seen everywhere on the street. However, He Yunzhou still remembers that in the eyes of his timid and poor self, this restaurant was already quite a luxury place. Back then, Ouyang Chenglin always muttered, "You should eat more because of your small body." Regardless of his struggle, he forcibly grabbed him and dragged him into this small restaurant to order a set meal.
He Yunzhou didn't expect that after so long, this restaurant is still here, neither the name nor the decoration of the restaurant has changed, as if the time here is still stuck many years ago, he and Ouyang are still stupid college students.
Even the man sitting at the dining table by the window looking at his notebook with a serious face, as if he was dealing with official business, seems to have not changed...
He Yunzhou was in a trance for a moment, but soon woke up.
No, of course Ouyang Chenglin has changed.
Whether it is the face or the tall figure, the outline is thicker and firmer than He Yunzhou's memory. Although the other party's face was no longer as smooth and fair as that of a young man, his more mature face was full of a distinct "mature man" flavor.
When several young girls passed by Ouyang Chenglin, their eyes fell on the latter involuntarily. This scene fell in He Yunzhou's eyes, which made him look relieved.
"puff-"
He couldn't help laughing dumbfoundedly.
When he was still in college, he often watched Ouyang sitting somewhere, and the girls around him often gave various hints when they passed by him, but Ouyang seemed to be completely unaware of it, always focusing on the things at hand. matter.
It is precisely because of this that during the four years of college, as the most eye-catching school girl in the school, Ouyang Chenglin has never had a girlfriend - and the homosexual relationship he and He Yunzhou pretended to make many people suddenly realize.
He didn't expect that after so many years, similar scenes would reappear in front of his eyes again and again.
Although he didn't want to admit it... But He Yunzhou knew that the moment he saw Ouyang, his previous hesitation had been uncontrollably covered by nostalgia.
"Ding Dong—Welcome—"
Accompanied by the old-fashioned mechanical shout of the welcome decoration, He Yunzhou opened the door and walked in.
As if he had sensed something, Ouyang Chenglin, who had put all his attention on the laptop on the table before, with his fingers flying and typing on the keyboard, suddenly raised his head at this moment, just in time to meet the He Yunzhou who came over met his eyes.
The man's eyes widened instantly, filled with uncontrollable surprise.
"Hey, boat!"
It was as if the two had never had a gap, as if they had suddenly returned to university.
Ouyang Chenglin stood up from his seat all of a sudden, and then greeted He Yunzhou very loudly.
"Ouyang—"
Before He Yunzhou could call out the other person's name, he watched the person rushing towards him with a brisk stride, and then hugged him forcefully.
The scalding body temperature and the unusually distinct aura that belonged to Ouyang Chenglin suddenly surrounded He Yunzhou, instantly activating certain memories that had been buried in his heart by He Yunzhou.
Goosebumps ran all the way up his spine.
And the joy and sadness of reuniting with old classmates after a long absence were instantly replaced by uncontrollable stiffness.
Shouldn't have met him—
This thought flashed through He Yunzhou's mind uncontrollably.
But just before He Yunzhou couldn't stand the hug at all, Ouyang Chenglin suddenly let go of He Yunzhou, whether it was a coincidence or he had already calculated the time.
"Ah, I'm sorry, I haven't seen you for a long time and I'm a little over excited."
Ouyang Chenglin rubbed the back of his head, and said to He Yunzhou as if embarrassed.
"Forehead… "
He Yunzhou's lips moved together, and it took him a long time to manage to stabilize his mind.
"haven't seen you for a long time."
He whispered to Ouyang Chenglin.
It can be said that it is natural and unavoidable, just at the moment when his mind wavered, Ouyang had already grasped the rhythm of the relationship between the two.
He pulled He Yunzhou to the seat very frankly and enthusiastically and sat down. Before He Yunzhou had time to speak, he called the waiter and pointed to the menu and ordered many dishes.
He Yunzhou sat across from him distractedly, watching him order food in one go, secretly feeling bad.
According to the original plan, he should only have a brief meeting with Ouyang, but seeing Ouyang's posture, the meal between the two of them tonight does not seem to be "simple" and can be summed up.
Being led by the nose again by Ouyang...
After realizing this, He Yunzhou found that he was not surprised at all.
After all, similar situations have happened many times since the first meeting with Ouyang.
In other people's words, it is "Ouyang is such a character"...
He Yunzhou sat stiffly opposite Ouyang Chenglin, looking down at the tea in his hand.
Ouyang Chenglin is probably looking at him, right? He Yunzhou always felt that the other party's gaze seemed to have warmth, and when it fell on his body, it would make the skin itchy slightly.
"You're still the same as before."
Ouyang Chenglin's words with a smile sounded softly.
"How can it be… "
He Yunzhou smiled wryly, mustered up the courage to look up at the other party.
Ouyang Chenglin's gaze was still the same as when he was in college, enthusiastic and calm to the point of shrinking, as if he hadn't experienced any polishing in life for so many years.
But that is of course impossible.
Thinking of what he had inquired before, He Yunzhou's heart suddenly tightened.
"How are you?"
"How have you been all these years?"
…
The voices of the two people overlapped in the noisy air mixed with the aroma of complex meals, and then they both fell silent again.
Ouyang Chenglin raised his eyebrows, and the smile on the corner of his mouth deepened.
"Wow, that's really rare. It seems that you really care about me."
He said.
"After all, I am an old classmate, of course I will care about you..."
He Yunzhou replied subconsciously.
"I hope you are doing well."
He added dryly.
"It's been so many years, why haven't I seen you contact me? At that time, I left you a phone number and an email address. You don't even know that I have been waiting for your news every day for so many years abroad, but in the end You have no conscience and you haven't called me any..."
He Yunzhou's movements froze stiffly when he heard Ouyang Chenglin's complaint that it was difficult to distinguish whether it was true or a joke.
But then, he heard a relaxed laugh from the other party.
"Okay, don't worry about it, I'm just kidding."
Ouyang Chenglin said with a smile, but before He Yunzhou's heart was relieved, he heard the other party's voice lowered slightly, sighing as if with emotion.
"I knew for a long time that you would not look for me. You are too worried, I let go, and you may not be able to let go."
"I… "
He Yunzhou's eyes trembled slightly.
He was about to speak, but just before that, the dishes he ordered had been served on the table one after another like running water.
Once the initial timing is missed, it seems that there is no way to speak logically.
He Yunzhou fell silent again.
And when he focused on the dishes on the table, he immediately discovered that many of them were his favorite dishes back then.
It's hard to describe how He Yunzhou felt at this moment.
There is a touch of touch, a touch of nostalgia, but at the same time, there is also fear and bewilderment. After so many years, Ouyang still remembered the details of what happened between the two of them so clearly. Thinking of this, He Yunzhou only felt that his body became very heavy.
"Eat first, eat first."
Compared with He Yunzhou, who had a very unnatural attitude, Ouyang Chenglin was normal. It was as if he hadn't said the previous sentence at all, and he gave He Yunzhou a piece of food with chopsticks very naturally.
"I still remember that the fish fillet with pickled cabbage was your favorite..."
Then he sat back and took the same sauerkraut and fish fillet for himself. After he put it in his mouth and ate it, Ouyang Chenglin suddenly seemed to remember something, and said softly with a smile: "But to be honest, back then I actually just want to say, compared to the dishes from those restaurants outside, I still prefer to eat your dishes."
"Do you remember? At that time, I was sick, and I was lying in bed eating and vomiting. You brought a rice cooker to escape the gang of self-discipline committees, and sneaked into my dormitory to cook porridge for me. Hey , don’t even mention it, it’s just a plain porridge with minced meat, oh, yes, I remember you gave me a salted duck egg, it’s just such a simple porridge, and I haven’t had it since then I've had better porridge than that..."
Hearing what Ouyang Chenglin said in a nostalgic tone, He Yunzhou's body was as stiff as a puppet, and he almost lost his grip on his chopsticks.
"It's just that you were hungry for too long with gastroenteritis."
he said dryly.
But Ouyang Chenglin shook his head very directly.
"Of course not." After a pause, he suddenly lowered his eyes and added softly, "I know that's not the reason."
"that… "
As soon as He Yunzhou saw Ouyang's current appearance, his nerves were stretched to the extreme immediately.
"I actually..."
"Pfft, I scared you!"
At this moment, Ouyang Chenglin's face suddenly changed, and the affectionate and sad look disappeared from his face instantly like a mask.
He made a grimace at He Yunzhou, and then laughed out loud at the dumbfounded He Yunzhou.
"I knew you must still be thinking about this—
But that's all in the past! You really don't have to be nervous, the past is all in the past! real! "
After laughing, he slowly looked at He Yunzhou seriously.
"I came back to China this time just to meet with you and settle this matter. Xiao Chuan, you see, I am relieved, but you haven't... I don't want you to be stuck in the past because of my stupidity. .”
While talking, Ouyang stretched out his hand towards He Yunzhou.
He Yunzhou involuntarily set his eyes on the opponent's wrist...
On the small piece of skin protruding from the cuff, there was a hideous flesh-colored scar, which instantly stabbed He Yunzhou's eyes like a blade.
