051
At the end of March, Xu Yu took the adult college entrance exam and was accepted into a school in Qingying. On the day he printed his documents, Xu Yu stopped by the paint shop on the first floor of the same building where he'd been to pick up his painting. The cashier changed hands and called several times to confirm before handing him the painting.
After leaving the store, Xu Yu received a call. Wang Li sneezed: "I just saw a really delicious beef hotpot restaurant on the group buy website. Do you want to try it?"
"Anything is fine."
"That place also has small skewers, they're highly rated. Oh, and if you like chicken hearts, they're free..."
The person on the other end of the phone was still chattering about what was free and what wasn't. Xu Yu's eyes were drawn to the large screen in the distance. The screen didn't have too strong a light, and the poster was a colorful piece of art with a huge artistic signature printed on it.
The man in the background of the poster tilts his head slightly, with no expression in his eyes. He looks to the lower right, as if he is looking into someone's eyes.
The mall was bustling with people, and some students even ran over to take pictures: "Is this the new artist having an exhibition? I heard that the big factory is giving out free art."
"Yes, our teacher asked our class to come and learn about color composition. When are you planning to come? Or we can come together."
"Okay, okay."
“…”
Last time I heard Xi Luo say that Xi Jiang was obsessed with painting and didn't want to leave. Now he has held an art exhibition, which shows that he has recovered well.
"Xu Yu, did you listen to me?"
Xu Yu came back to his senses: "I heard it. We'll eat it when we get back from our trip."
“When are you going on tour?”
"I can take a two-month break after the results come out, so I'll go for those two months."
Wang Li envied: "I really envy you two."
"We can do it together."
“I don’t want to be a third wheel.”
After hanging up the phone, he took another look at the poster and left with the oil painting in his hand. There was a traffic jam on the way back. Passing by a supermarket, Xu Yu bought some vegetables to make soup tonight.
This time they planned to travel to the plateau. Having been recently attracted by the publicity about the grasslands online, he and Zhu Wenxu looked at the air tickets and booked them on the same day. They planned to leave the next day.
Zhu Wenxu came out of the shower and said, "Everything is here. See if there's anything else you need to prepare."
Xu Yu was relieved: "Why are you taking a shower during the day?"
"Nothing to do." Zhu Wenxu rubbed Xu Yu's face, "I went to the gym."
Xu Yu pushed him away: "Stop rubbing."
"By the way, I changed my name." Zhu Wenxu took out a brand new ID card, "Just got it done."
The avatar was updated to the current face, and the name was the familiar word Wenxu.
"The name Wenxu suits you better."
Zhu Wenxu nodded: "Yes, will you reward me for changing my name?"
The meaning was clear, the look in his eyes was direct. Xu Yu pushed him again and squeezed through the kitchen: "Let's talk about it tonight."
"no problem."
It was still dark, and Xu Yu had just finished cleaning up and hadn't had time to water the green radish. Wen Xu's subtle allure returned, and Xu Yu couldn't resist, letting him torment her in various ways.
This whole process lasted until 9:30 in the morning. The alarm clock kept ringing. Xu Yu suddenly remembered the flight time and urged while getting dressed: "Hurry up, hurry up."
Zhu Wenxu rubbed his head and got up to wash up. After he was ready, he was dragged downstairs by Xu Yu.
"If I had known, I wouldn't have come last night."
"How can that be?" Wen Xu said, "We are not late."
Now Xu Yu can always hear the flattery in his words. Just like a child, if he is not quarreling, he will be clingy. If he hears something he doesn’t like, he will coax him.
Considering the recent stress, Xu Yu would try to comfort him, but now he had no energy at all. He dragged Wen Xu onto the plane and began to catch up on his sleep, not even eating the in-flight meal.
After getting off the plane, they had to transfer. Wen Xu pulled him out, not worried at all. Xu Yu was helpless: "It's not dark yet, there's no need to rush to find a hotel."
Wen Xu pinched his fingers: "They are waiting."
"Who's waiting?"
Just as he finished speaking, he saw an SUV parked outside.
The co-pilot rolled down the stairs and Xiao Meng waved at them: "You two are so slow."
Xu Yu: "You two?"
"What's wrong?" Xiao Meng was very dissatisfied with Xu Yu's reaction. "We skipped work to go on a trip with you guys, so just be happy."
Ke Yu also waved: "Hurry up and get in the car, you're wasting time."
Wen Xu put the car in the trunk and got in the back seat with Xu Yu one after the other. There were unopened snacks and two scarves in the back seat that they hadn't cleaned up from their previous outing.
"It's hard to imagine this is your car."
Ke Yu narrowed his eyes and warned Wen Xu: "If you dislike it, you can go down."
Wen Xu didn't buy it at all: "Then stop the car."
Ke Yu ignored him and turned to ask Xu Yu: "You have become much rounder."
When they met before, Xu Yu was thin and weak, and Ke Yu could knock him down with one punch.
"I've eaten a lot recently," Xu Yu said. "After all, it's just after the Chinese New Year."
"Me too. When I'm with my parents, they always ask me to eat more. After finally getting away, I immediately want to go far away. Luckily, Zhu Wenxu said you guys were going on a trip, so I wanted to bring Xiaomeng with you. Otherwise, we would have to live under the bridge."
Wen Xu interrupted: "I didn't promise you."
"Why would I care whether you agree or not? Yuyu can't bear to see us living under a bridge, right?"
Xu Yu didn't believe it but cooperated: "I can't bear it."
"I knew it! You have no idea how I got through this New Year. Not only did I almost lose my credit card, I was almost kicked out." Ke Yu wanted to cry, but there were no tears. "But fortunately, in the end, my parents accepted Xiao Meng."
Xiao Meng was embarrassed: "We will be open about it from now on."
Xu Yu sincerely wished: "Congratulations."
Wen Xu and Xu Yu leaned against each other, waking up drowsily to find it was already dark. Ke Yu and Xiao Meng had booked a hotel, and the four of them filled up their tanks early the next morning and drove off. Wen Xu drove energetically for about twelve hours, followed by Xiao Meng.
After two days of tiring driving on the highway, we finally arrived in Tibet.
They were not in good shape and fell asleep as soon as they arrived at the hotel. Xu Yu and Zhu Wenxu ate something and went to refuel. At noon the next day, the four of them reunited and headed back to the grassland.
“The sky here is so blue.”
Wen Xu shielded him from the sun: "Don't get sunburned."
"We're just here to bask in the sun." Xu Yu smiled. "Shall we go horseback riding?"
"OK."
Riding a horse requires skill. Xu Yu failed in the first step, so Wen Xu simply asked for a horse and ran on the grassland with Xu Yu. Xu Yu was screaming all the way. The grass waves rolled up, and the air was fresh and natural. There was only happiness in her mind.
Despite the excitement, Xu Yu's feet were numb. Wen Xu brought him some water and massaged his legs without any airs. Then he saw Xiao Meng and Ke Yu riding horses across the street. Xiao Meng lay on the horse with ease and took out her phone to take a professional-looking photo of Ke Yu.
As night fell, a bonfire was lit. Locals gathered around to sing, and Xu Yu hummed slowly beside them. Then, enthusiastic young people took his hand and danced together.
Xu Yu went.
All the unhappiness was crackled by the fire. Ke Yu patted Wen Xu's shoulder. Wen Xu stood up, picked up the bag beside him and followed him.
The starry sky in Tibet is very beautiful, but the video filter is still too conservative, and it extends endlessly into the distance.
Wen Xu squatted down and handed the bunch of flowers in his hand to Ke Yu. Ke Yu sent a text message to Xiao Meng, and Xiao Meng brought Xu Yu over here.
"Have you drunk?" Xiao Meng asked.
Xu Yu nodded: "Grandma just gave me a bowl of rice wine."
"You have such a low alcohol tolerance." Xiao Meng said, "Don't drink from now on."
Xu Yu was supported and walked obediently: "Where are we going now?"
"Let's go over there," Xiao Meng said. "It's higher up there, so we can see the stars and make a wish."
It has been advertised online that if you are lucky, you can not only see stars but also shooting stars at night in Tibet.
Who doesn't like to hope that a wish comes true?
Xu Yu was thinking about what wish he should make, but then he realized that he might not be able to see the shooting star, so he decided to go over there first.
He walked towards the middle of the mountain. The wind made him feel cool and there was a sweet scent of flowers in the air. Xu Yu couldn't tell the type and stumbled because he didn't see the road clearly.
Only then did I realize that Xiao Meng had disappeared at some point.
Light blue fluorescent lines appeared on both sides of the road, guiding Xu Yu.
When he looked up, light blue broke free and turned into one light spot after another, lingering around Xu Yu. In the blink of an eye, they stretched out their slender and soft tentacles, spinning freely in the air, leading the way for him.
There were more and more jellyfish around, and they floated more flexibly and lightly with Xu Yu's footsteps.
The wind is blowing again.
Xu Yu took a deep breath and found that the jellyfish that had been active had stopped moving. They all floated towards the figure in front.
In an instant, the lights came on. An inconspicuous and seemingly shabby shed was filled with all kinds of flowers.
"Xu Yu."
Wen Xu stood ten steps away from him, knelt on one knee, and took out the box.
Xu Yuzhen stopped and realized what Wen Xu wanted to do. He quickly stepped forward and hugged him.
"I've made you wait before." Xu Yu held his palm, "Not this time."
Wen Xu kissed her without thinking, and their tears mixed together and rolled into the ring box.
After the kiss, their fingers were still intertwined. Xu Yu put on the ring in front of him and raised the back of her hand: "I do."
It happened that a meteor fell from a distance.
Wen Xu's chest heaved violently. He held Xu Yu's hand and held him in his arms.
All words became meaningless. Wenxu's proposal was more romantic, involving many words and the sharing of the happiness he had pursued for many years.
But nothing was more direct than looking each other in the eye.
Said nothing, and said everything.
"I'm willing to do anything." He said cautiously.
