Chapter 82 (End of the main text)

There is a reason why "Triper" has become an enduring travel variety show.

There aren't many gimmicks in the show, it's mainly about experience and has a slow pace, which fans say is extremely appetizing.

"Guests can voluntarily bring a friend," Xiao Ziyu read out.

"Oh?" Yuan Heng raised his eyebrows calmly, his big hands circling around the man's waist, "Do you have any friends you want to bring along?"

Xiao Ziyu held his palm and said, "Do you think my senior brother would be interested?"

Unexpectedly, Yuan Heng said readily: "You can ask."

"Bring Yuan Ye along when the time comes."

They expressed their intention to cooperate, and the company went to negotiate with the film company. Xiao Ziyu took his eyes off the phone screen and got out of bed to take a shower. Halfway through the shower, the bathroom door was swung open: "It's inconvenient to wash by yourself, I'll help you."

Yuan Heng was the biggest inconvenience, but it would be ridiculous to cover his vital parts at this time. Xiao Ziyu dodged and said, "No, I can do it myself."

"Don't move. Let me see if it's still swollen."

"Yuan Heng!"

"Tripper" soon announced that in addition to Yuan Heng and Xiao Ziyu, two guests from Greater China, the other two are a same-sex couple from London, Andy and Simon.

Xiao Jinchuan and Yuan Ye were invited to participate, and after signing the agreement, they filmed a promotional video together. When "Xunsu" was broadcast previously, although Xiao Jinchuan did not have many shots, his popularity did not diminish at all, especially his deep and cold voice, extraordinary temperament, and the demeanor of a gentleman with gentle manners, which made him very popular with young girls.

Unexpectedly, after several waves of public opinion storms, Yuan Heng and Xiao Ziyu not only did not avoid suspicion, but also cooperated as usual, with a generous attitude and without any concealment, which gradually made the spectators interested.

"Who knows? It feels like they have been married for ten years. I wouldn't be surprised if they come out publicly one day."

"There is so much sugar that I can't finish it all. This Yuanxiao CP fan has a lot of money."

"The other guest pair is a same-sex couple, so it's hard not to wonder what the show crew is hinting at."

"Program team: We can only help you up to this point."

In December, Yunjing welcomed its first snow, and “Tripper” officially set off.

After nearly ten hours of flight, the plane landed at Honolulu Airport and the wet and salty sea breeze hit our faces. December is summer in the southern hemisphere. The strong tropical sunlight shines directly on the ground, making even the plants grow taller and more lush.

Several people had already changed their clothes on the plane. Xiao Ziyu wore a white short-sleeved shirt with thin jeans, and his hair was neatly tied up high, making him very conspicuous among the group of dark and strong tropical residents.

Andy and Simon also came. They were both suffering from the long winter in London and were excited to see the sunshine.

Andy has bright red hair and a circle of light freckles on his nose, but this did not affect his confidence. He greeted everyone loudly: "Hello, friends from China!"

Simon was relatively stable. He was a full head taller than Andy, with a high nose bridge, deep eye sockets, and even a distinct lip peak. When he saw them, his light blue eyes curved slightly, a typical old-fashioned aristocratic look.

Everyone quickly got familiar with each other and took their first group photo at the airport. On the first day, everyone had to adjust to the jet lag, so the itinerary was not that tight. After checking into the hotel arranged by the program crew, Andy suggested taking a walk on the nearby beach.

The sun was still scorching in the evening. Yuan Heng ignored the camera and applied sunscreen to Xiao Ziyu while walking. From the neck to the arms, the excess rubbed directly onto his arms.

Xiao Ziyu still refuses to agree with the chemical skin care products in modern society. After his protest failed, he allowed the other party to touch him.

Xiao Jinchuan and Yuan Ye followed behind. One of them still wore long sleeves and long pants in such a hot day, while the other had already changed into a sleeveless vest and shorts. The straw hat was bought from a roadside stall, and he seemed to blend in with the local environment.

Xiao Jinchuan stared at the two people in front of him, and the temperature around him dropped a little. Xiao Ziyu clearly showed that he was unwilling, but Yuan Heng still chased after him and held him back, refusing to let him go.

Yuan Ye stared at him secretly, feeling awe-inspiring. After a while, he seemed to have understood something and took the initiative to say, "Brother Xiao, they are just playing around. If my brother is as reserved as my sister-in-law, then they probably won't be together in the next life."

Xiao Jinchuan turned his head and stared at him. Although he didn't say anything, Yuan Ye still felt like he was being scolded. The general meaning should be: You and your brother are of the same kind, neither of you is a good person.

The temperature was still rising, and the surface temperature was approaching forty. Xiao Jinchuan's back was gradually soaked with sweat. He took out a tissue to wipe the sweat off his face. If he hadn't been worried about Xiao Ziyu's first trip abroad, he could have spent the winter safely in Qinglan Garden with a fireplace.

Their photographer was a Chinese man. Seeing the awkward atmosphere between the two, he took the initiative to ask, "Have you ever been to Hawaii before?"

Yuan Ye fanned himself with his straw hat and recalled, "Well, I came here to collect folk songs before, and was lucky enough to meet a young lady who performed hula dance."

But the young lady didn't like the spirited guy and didn't take him seriously at all. Before Yuan Ye could finish savoring this unrequited love, he felt his hands go empty as his straw hat was snatched away by someone.

“Hey bro, catch me!”

The sound of laughter came from afar, it was a group of local boys' high school students. In a tourist country, residents are accustomed to taking photos in the streets. They did not hesitate to use the camera, tossing Yuan Ye's hat back and forth, and their cheers attracted a group of onlookers.

"Give it back to me!" Yuan Ye had never been afraid of anyone in his life except his brother. He was instantly provoked and became furious. He turned around and rushed over to chase after him.

"Wow!" The boys ran away, jumping over the flower beds and climbing over the benches in a well-trained manner. They turned out to be a group of parkour enthusiasts.

"It might be the school club," Andy shrugged helplessly, "Boys of this age are the most annoying."

Simon put his arm around his shoulders and whispered, "No, you were very cute back then."

Yuan Ye was helpless and furious. At this moment, a hand patted his shoulder and a slightly cold voice came from behind him: "I'll get it back for you."

Before anyone could react, Xiao Ziyu had already rushed out. He was so light that he could jump high with a little help. The obstacles that the high school students had just climbed over were as flat as the ground under his feet.

The boys seemed to have seen some mysterious oriental martial arts. Their eyes widened and they cheered even more vigorously. In their experience, these skinny Asians always lack strength and will probably give up soon.

Therefore, there was another reason that made them excited: Xiao Ziyu was too handsome as a man.

The flying long hair and lithe figure fit all their stereotypes about Orientals. Being chased by a beauty, no matter what the other party's motives were, was enough for them to show off in school tomorrow.

"Nanzhu!"

Before Yuan Ye could react, two figures flew past him. The photographer who was following the incident saw such a scene for the first time and was stunned, hesitating whether to run after it.

Yuan Ye turned around and looked at the two British guys. After a while, Andy asked, "Why don't you go? Is it because you don't know Chinese Kung Fu?"

Yuan Ye: “…”

After running for about a kilometer, the kids gradually slowed down, leaving only the sound of panting. Xiao Ziyu jumped down from a dozen steps, his chest not even rising or falling, and landed steadily in front of the high school student.

The boys were holding up their knees and panting heavily. They were freshmen who had just joined the club this year. They were at the age where they were fearless and wanted to try out firecrackers. Gang crimes were the norm for them and they had never been chased by anyone.

The one who looked the oldest held out his straw hat with both hands: "I'm sorry for taking your things...Excuse me, is this Chinese parkour?"

Xiao Ziyu's English level was not enough to understand the word "parkour". He took the hat with a slightly cold expression and said lightly: "This will not happen again."

The male high school students immediately roared, and even their voices sounded so nice!

White people have large bodies, so when they squeeze together, they are like a human wall. They push and shove each other, refusing to move away. Finally, someone speaks up first: "Beautiful lady, may we have the honor of inviting you for a glass of whiskey?"

Xiao Ziyu understood the gist of it and shook his head, indicating that he was leaving.

The boys refused to give up. The leader continued, "My friend can make some delicious fruit wine. Is this your first time in Hawaii? We can take you to the beach and take a ride."

That expression was like a young boy in love facing his beloved, wanting to please her but afraid of being too obvious and annoying her.

Before Xiao Ziyu could answer, he heard a shout from behind: "Get away, you little brats!"

It was the first time that Xiao Jinchuan cursed, and his cold demeanor scared the high school students so much that they took two steps back.

Yuan Heng pulled the man in front of him, looked him up and down, raised his hand to pick off two leaves hanging on the ends of his hair, and half-knelt down to brush the dirt off his trouser legs.

The broad hand wrapped around Xiao Ziyu's palm, and Yuan Heng was still frightened: "Don't run so fast next time."

Xiao Jinchuan raised his voice: "I'm unfamiliar with the place, and I'm not afraid of being kidnapped and sold as a piglet!"

"Hey, sir, aren't you guys being too harsh?" the high school student reminded, "We just wanted to invite him for a drink."

"Shut up!" Yuan Heng and Xiao Jinchuan shouted at the same time.

Xiao Ziyu knew he was in the wrong, so he put on a straw hat, as if that would make him invisible.

The photographer was left far behind. The two turned around holding hands, and a white statue appeared in their peripheral vision.

The scene before him gradually overlapped with the photos in his memory: lush tropical plants, gurgling musical fountains, and an archangel holding the sword of life. Xiao Ziyu realized, "It's Hilo Park."

Right where they stood, there was once a gay couple standing side by side. The name of the photo was "Two White Wedding Dresses".

Unexpectedly, such a farce could end in romance. Yuan Heng held his fingers together and was about to say something when he heard Xiao Ziyu ask, "Who is that naked kid?"

Yuan Heng was somewhat helpless and decided not to bother with the ancient man who had just traveled through time. He pinched his fingertips and said, "That's an angel."

"In Christianity, angels are children of God who send love and blessings."

Yuan Ye and the photographer arrived breathlessly. Xiao Ziyu's expression froze and he was about to pull his fingers out, but Yuan Heng held them even tighter.

"Don't move!" Yuan Ye yelled, and hurriedly opened the Polaroid camera, "This angle is amazing!"

The two stood side by side with their backs to the crowd. The setting sun blurred the light, dyeing the angel statue golden. Even the group of high school students next to them subconsciously held their breath, waiting for the camera to freeze this scene.

The photo paper was slowly spit out. Yuan Ye pinched it, fanned it, and handed it to Xiao Ziyu.

He has taken various photos since coming to modern society, but this is his first time taking a Polaroid photo. Although not so clear, it has a texture of old film, as if it has captured a period of time.

Xiao Ziyu solemnly put the photo into his wallet: "Thank you."

Andy saw this and forced Simon to take the same photo. He gave the highest praise: "Although you don't know Chinese Kung Fu, your photography skills are very admirable."

Yuan Ye was so angry that he wanted to eat the photo paper on the spot instead of giving it to him.

Walking back to the beach hotel, the feeling of tiredness caused by jet lag hit me with a delay. Andy and Simon had a large room to themselves, while the other four lived in a four-bedroom, one-living-room apartment.

After taking a shower, Xiao Ziyu felt a little less sleepy. He didn't bring much change of clothes with him, so he wrapped himself tightly in his pajamas and stood on the terrace to get some fresh air.

Yuan Heng sent a message: Have you finished taking a shower?

In order to record their daily life, four cameras were set up in the living room to record their daily life in all directions. If they run around the room, they will definitely be caught, and the editing and broadcast of the footage can directly send them to the headlines.

Therefore, after returning, Xiao Ziyu and Yuan Heng each stayed in their rooms in an attempt to hide their true intentions, and tacitly did not mention how to sleep at night.

At this moment, there was the sound of footsteps outside. It was Yuan Ye who came out in slippers and went to the refrigerator to get a drink. Xiao Ziyu lowered his eyes and looked at the message, always having the illusion of an affair.

He ignored the message and called directly. There was no answer from the other end. After a while, there was a noise from the terrace next door and Yuan Heng came out wearing a bathrobe.

The two terraces were separated by a width of more than one meter. Xiao Ziyu leaned on the railing and answered his question: "It's already been washed."

The next second, he opened his eyes wide in horror, because Yuan Heng held the railing with one hand and jumped up easily.

Although the terraces on both sides are not far apart, the room is twenty stories above the ground. The whistling sea breeze in my ears blurs out the noisy laughter on the beach in the distance.

Xiao Ziyu had no time to stop him and took two steps back. Yuan Heng stepped on the railing and leaped over from thin air. A huge black shadow covered his head and locked him tightly in its arms.

Due to inertia, Xiao Ziyu's back leaned against the wall, but Yuan Heng had no intention of moving away. He lowered his head, kissed his lips, inserted his tongue between his teeth, and sucked gently.

Yuan Heng was a little unrestrained in front of the camera, and he was even more careless behind people. He put one hand behind Xiao Ziyu's head, forcing him to raise his chin and agree with trembling hands.

When their lips parted, Xiao Ziyu's body was already sore and limp, and he was able to stand only with the support of the big hand around his waist. My senior brother and younger brother are next door, and there are cameras outside capturing everything. How can I be so dissolute? Xiao Ziyu raised his hand to refuse: "Yuan Heng..."

"There's more outside..."

Before he could finish his words, his mouth was blocked again. This time, it was Yuan Heng who stuffed two fingers in and rubbed his teeth. A compliment fell into my ear: "Nanzhu's teeth are so neat."

Xiao Ziyu's face flushed red, but he could only whimper slightly. He suddenly felt a chill on his crotch. Yuan Heng was pressing him against the terrace railing. He pulled out his fingers and moved his fingers elsewhere.

Ruifeng's eyes slowly widened, as if he couldn't accept this absurdity, and Xiao Ziyu let out a cry: "Changfeng..."

The breathing sound beside his ear suddenly became heavier, and Yuan Heng slowed down his movements: "Relax, otherwise it will hurt you."

When the two of them were arguing passionately just now, Yuan Heng turned off the lights in the room. It was dark now and no one would see them wasting time. However, the beach not far away was brightly lit and voices could be heard faintly. Xiao Ziyu had the illusion of being in front of people, but he couldn't hold on.

"You are so shameless." Yuan Heng didn't have the heart to continue bullying her, so he carried her back to the house, trying to deceive and comfort her, "Relax, it's all right now."

It was as if the sea breeze had become hotter. This time, Yuan Heng did nothing. The friction became more distinct. Before Xiao Ziyu fell asleep, he only had time to cry out, "Liar."

Xiao Ziyu was already feeling sleepy due to jet lag, and after a moment of lovemaking, he fell into a deep sleep. His body seemed to be both in love and fear of the man in front of him. He curled up unwillingly in Yuan Heng's arms and slept until dawn.

In the early morning, Xiao Ziyu opened his eyes and saw a solid and reliable chest in front of him. The sky was orange-red, and the sun had peaked above the horizon. Yuan Heng hugged him and tidied up his long hair that had been messed up by sleep. He was very gentle and completely different from how he had been the night before.

"It's still early, sleep a little longer," Yuan Heng patted and stroked his back gently. Xiao Ziyu fell into that peaceful rhythm and fell asleep again unknowingly.

When he woke up again, it was already bright outside. The bed beside him was empty, and Yuan Heng was no longer there. Xiao Ziyu pushed the quilt aside and sat up. His body felt clean and fresh. He vaguely remembered that Yuan Heng had washed him.

He felt that he had been spoiled and had many bad habits. Last night, he had been treated very badly. He gritted his teeth and swore that he would never talk to Yuan Heng again. However, he didn't see him this morning and felt empty inside again.

He put on his pajamas and called Yuan Heng, but no one answered. Walking into the living room in slippers, Yuan Ye and Xiao Jinchuan both said they didn't see anyone.

Yuan Ye said in horror: "It's over, could it be that my brother doesn't want to take responsibility and runs away?"

Xiao Jinchuan frowned and recalled: "Did you hear any strange noises last night?"

Xiao Ziyu was so frightened that he avoided the question and dared not ask any more questions.

The filming went on as usual. The program team said that Yuan Heng took a day off but did not disclose his whereabouts. Xiao Ziyu was full of doubts, but his excessive concern would seem strange, so he had to give up.

It has been a rare few days without any rain, and the weather is unusually clear. Ships can be vaguely seen on the distant horizon, and seagulls occasionally fly across the azure sky. They rented a convertible off-road vehicle and drove along Oahu Island. It was not yet Christmas, so there were not many tourists on the road and the road extended infinitely in both directions.

Xiao Ziyu was absent-minded the whole way and seemed perfunctory in front of the camera. There was still no news about Yuan Heng, as if he had disappeared from the face of the earth.

Simon was driving, and Andy was having so much fun in the passenger seat that he leaned his upper body out of the car and shouted twice, wanting to say hello to every passerby.

They drove up to a cliff by the sea with a wide view. With waves crashing against the shore, they could see enthusiasts diving from the cliff in the distance.

"Would you like to go over and take some pictures?" the photographer suggested.

Andy had already rushed out with his arms open. Xiao Ziyu lingered in the car, looking uninterested: "I won't go for now."

"Now that we're here, let's go and take a look." Xiao Jinchuan said.

"Let's go, Brother Xiao," Yuan Ye opened the car door for him, "I heard this is called Lover's Cliff. During the peak tourist season, there are a lot of people lining up to jump into the sea."

The lover is only in his heart, not by his side. Xiao Ziyu noticed some changes in himself. It was the possessiveness at work, but he didn't want to admit it. He decided to come back from the cliff and call Yuan Heng again. If he still didn't answer, he wouldn't care whether he was dead or alive.

After getting off the car, the sound of the waves almost hit my ears. He walked up the slope and saw thousands of piles of snow in the distance. Andy suddenly shouted to the sky, stretching his arms: "Look over there!"

Xiao Ziyu looked up in response. The cliff seemed to be closer to the sky. The sky was clear and cloudless. Amid the waves, a small pure white plane appeared in his field of vision, with pink smoke at its tail, and it circled in the air.

Xiao Ziyu came to the modern society and had ridden on big airplanes, but he had never seen such a round little airplane, so he couldn't help but take a few more glances. The small plane swayed to the left, as if saying hello to everyone, and then slowly returned to the center, drawing several arcs diagonally with the smoke.

That is the English letter "M".

Andy shouted excitedly, pulling Simon's hand and shaking it left and right. Xiao Ziyu didn't react to what happened, but his heart trembled slightly, and a premonition was about to emerge.

"Marry Me", the little plane finally finished drawing all the strokes, then shook its head and tail and added a heart shape next to the huge letters. The people on the beach also looked up, started discussing excitedly, and searched for the lucky person among the crowd.

Xiao Ziyu seemed to sense something and turned around, only to see Yuan Heng, who had disappeared early in the morning, walking up the hillside. His steps became bigger and faster, and finally he took two steps at a time and came to his side.

Xiao Ziyu looked up at the sky again. The special smoke did not dissipate for a long time. He turned to the tall figure close at hand and was shocked beyond words.

People in ancient times only knew about their parents' orders and matchmaker's words, and never imagined that someone would leave their vows in the sky. All the passers-by they met along the way could become witnesses.

Yuan Heng lowered his head and stared into his eyes: "Do you like it?"

Xiao Ziyu didn't answer yes or no, but just said softly: "You are too overbearing. You don't even need to ask when proposing."

"Because I have to say the most important sentence myself." Yuan Heng knelt down on one knee, his body still straight and free and easy, his palm holding a velvet box steadily, and the platinum couple rings reflecting the sun.

"Will you marry me?" Yuan Heng's voice was not loud, but each word he spoke was extremely firm, as if he had already been sure of it, or he would not give up until he achieved his goal.

Admitting too quickly would seem too eager. Xiao Ziyu counted the seconds reservedly, but his heartbeat was as continuous as a drumbeat. He finally nodded as the letters in the air began to dissipate: "I do."

Cheers came from a distance. Yuan Ye and Andy hugged each other. Andy was moved to tears, but he couldn't understand Chinese: "He must say yes!"

Yuan Heng stood up, took out the ring, and put it on Xiao Ziyu's ring finger. The size was a perfect fit, and even if he asked a craftsman on site to measure it, it would not be so suitable. Xiao Ziyu did the same thing, took out the slightly larger one, and put it on the base of Yuan Heng's fingers.

With their fingers clasped tightly together and the rings nestled together, Yuan Heng gently kissed Xiao Ziyu's cheek.

He whispered, "In ancient times, parents' orders were important. When visiting someone's home, I invited your senior brother to come as a witness."

Xiao Ziyu suddenly realized: "So you have been preparing since then..."

Xiao Jinchuan nodded silently behind them to show his agreement.

The photographer who followed the filming was also deeply moved. Yuan Heng informed them in advance that this segment would not be broadcast publicly, but the master tape would be sent to the two newlyweds intact.

On the way back, they divided into two cars, and Yuan Ye went to be a light bulb for Andy and Simon. Xiao Ziyu stroked the ring on his finger and suddenly asked out of nowhere, "So you went to prepare early this morning."

Yuan Heng held his fingertips: "Yeah."

Xiao Ziyu recalled how Yuan Heng had almost bewitched him to sleep in the early morning: "What if I wake up early?"

"No," Yuan Heng swallowed a low laugh, "With the intensity of last night, you will at least sleep until noon."

Xiao Ziyu stared, and Xiao Jinchuan, who was sitting in the front passenger seat, clenched his fist and coughed.

After taking photos of the afternoon attractions, everyone has not yet recovered from the excitement. It was almost evening and Andy wanted to go out for a drink, so they went back to the beach and found a remote music bar.

In the distance, long clouds surround the sun, outlining the shape of the wind, and the setting sun falls on the waves and turns into golden light. Xiao Ziyu stopped and looked for a while. Then everyone lined up to go in. He turned around and followed them. As he walked through the dimly lit corridor, he could vaguely hear the cheerful music with drum beats.

Yuan Heng was waiting for him at the fork in the corridor. His tall figure cast a shadow in the neon lights. The two looked at each other in shock, feeling that this scene seemed familiar.

He had just woken up at that time, but he had been waiting there for more than 20 years.

Xiao Ziyu's eyes were hot, and before the tears had even started to well up, Yuan Heng strode over and held his hand, using just the right amount of strength and warmth to dispel the last bit of uneasiness.

Xiao Ziyu murmured absentmindedly: "I am not dreaming."

Yuan Heng pulled him into his arms and hugged him tightly: "I wanted to do this when we first met."

The two figures, one tall and one short, disappeared side by side into the darkness. The song finally ended, and the lead singer on the stage sang the last line affectionately: "It's yesterday once more——"

However, as time goes by, not only yesterday is repeated.
