As soon as it got dark, all the tents looked the same. The two of them searched around for a while before they found it. There was an emergency light hanging inside, and from the outside it looked like a glowing fairytale crystal ball. But the wind was too strong, and it blew it out of shape, like a witch coming down the mountain.
The wind got stronger as the night went on. Chen Youhan checked the four corner nails for firmness. Turning his head, Ye Kai had already clumsily opened the zipper of the tent door. Although he was facing the leeward direction, he still felt like he was about to fly off the ground. Ye Kai crouched down, half crawled, half rolled, and leaned against a corner, laughing so hard that he couldn't breathe.
After zipping up, the small space returned to peace. Looking down again, damn, there was sand everywhere. Chen Youhan pouted twice and rinsed his mouth with water. It was too hard. The Chen family had been doing business for generations. He was basically a young master who was born with a silver spoon in his mouth. Although he was not so pretentious, he still felt like a sent-down peasant.
The backpack was tilted and opened. Ye Kai sat on the moisture-proof mat and rubbed his eyes with half closed: "Brother Youhan, there is sand in my eyes."
Chen Youhan threw down the water bottle, half-knelt down and pried his hands apart. Under the white light, she saw that his right eyelashes were trembling and his eyes were red with tears.
"Don't move, let me blow for you." She gently but forcefully lifted his upper and lower eyelids and blew gently inside.
Ye Kai couldn't help but flinch and blinked: "Still there."
Chen Youhan blew it again and asked, "Is it done?"
Ye Kai half tilted his head, staring blankly at his eyes so close to him. His eyebrows were sharp, his brows were high, and his eyes looked like dots of lacquer under such a dim light. Chen Youhan was also stunned. Ye Kai's eyes were slightly red, his eyelashes were moist, his breath had the scent of mint, and his lips were very beautiful, reminiscent of rose petals. His posture was like... asking for a kiss.
Chen Youhan stepped back calmly and said very gentlemanly, "I'm going to go get some water. You close your eyes and take a rest first."
The conditions are limited and you can't take a shower here, but the villagers have left a public washbasin for tourists, where you can get water. Chen Youhan filled two one-liter mineral water bottles and filled his mouth with sand when he entered the tent.
I don't even have the temper to swear.
Ye Kai had already packed two backpacks during this time, and took out the air mattress and sleeping bag. He unzipped the sleeping bag, and spread out a change of clothes and a towel on it. He took off his T-shirt with his backhand, revealing his lean, young upper body. Skiing and tennis require a lot of core strength, so Ye Kai's waist and abdomen lines are very impressive. Chen Youhan glanced at it and turned around hastily.
The space in the tent was small and cramped. The wind outside was howling loudly. The voices of the foreigners next door were clearly audible, which made the silence even more unbearable. Ye Kai slowly wiped his arms, neck, chest, and lower abdomen, making very little noise. Chen Youhan was checking the messages in the work group on his phone. After a while, he noticed that there was no sound behind him.
"Ye Kai?"
"Hello."
There was no response, only long, steady breathing.
Chen Youhan: “…”
He looked back and found Ye Kai clutching a wet quick-drying towel, leaning against the tent and sleeping. His hair hung down, half covering his eyes. His petal-like lips were naturally pressed together, with only the tip of his upturned nose slightly expanding and contracting.
Chen Youhan put down his phone, approached him quietly and gently, and took the towel from his hand.
They were all warmed by my palms.
He had never done a job as a waiter before, so he took out his clean towel, wet it, wrung it out, and put it on Ye Kai's shoulder.
Without servants to serve him, he could not escape.
He held his bare arms with his palms, and with his other hand he grabbed a towel and rubbed it hastily from his shoulders to his chest, across his abdomen, and around his back.
Ye Kai fell forward and leaned on Chen Youhan's shoulder. He was having a deep and drunken dream, and instinctively pursued the feeling of being filled in his arms, and raised his arms to hug Chen Youhan.
Chen Youhan calmed his breathing, and the towel was hastily passed from the back of his waist to his shoulder blades. He grabbed it tightly as if struggling, and finally was thrown down violently——
"Hold."
He put Ye Kai down and wiped his face, running his fingers through his hair dejectedly.
He reacted. How could...
Ye Kai didn't even know where he was when he woke up from thirst. There were ghosts howling outside, and the tent was rustling. He was wrapped in a down sleeping bag, and his body was half sticky and half dry, which was very strange. He fumbled for a long time to find his phone, and saw that it was one o'clock in the morning.
There was no trace of Chen Youhan in the tent.
The emergency light was turned on, illuminating the other person's smooth, wrinkle-free sleeping bag. Ye Kai put on his T-shirt, opened the door facing the sea in the strong wind, and went out without hesitation. It was pitch black outside. The strange thing was that when people were in it, they didn't feel that the sea breeze was terrible, and even made people feel comfortable. Everything was dim and unclear in the darkness. Ye Kai squinted his eyes and looked for a while, and caught a red light.
Chen Youhan lay on the beach with his knees bent, looking at the stars. The cigarette had almost burned out and was finally found by Ye Kai before it went out.
"I was so scared, I thought you were eaten by a wild boar." Ye Kai sat down beside him with a cup of water.
"Wild boar?"
"Yes, don't you know that there is a wild boar here that often comes to dig up the tent in the middle of the night?"
Chen Youhan: "...If it's such a dangerous thing, please explain it clearly before you set off next time."
“It has no fangs.”
He muttered, scooped up a handful of sand, and the wind blew it from his palm into a thin layer of smoke.
"Why aren't you sleeping? Did I disturb you?"
"Yes, you insisted on dragging me to watch your concert."
Ye Kai was stunned and bewildered, his face flushed as he realized it belatedly: "Liar." He whispered.
He is always depressed when he is drunk, so how could he possibly act crazy?
Chen Youhan gave a faint laugh and pulled him to lie down: "Look at the stars."
Ye Kai put his hands behind his head. There was no vast sea of stars reflected in his eyes. The wind blew, and the clouds rose, covering the twinkling stars, leaving only a few scattered in the blue-black sky.
"Brother Youhan, are you worried?"
"Of course adults have a lot on their minds."
"Are you dating Wu Sijiu?"
"No. Stop listening to those messy rumors."
"An adult appeared in the rumors of Tianyi High School, and you still have the nerve to say that."
"What should I do? I didn't know you were my schoolmate until we slept together."
Chen Youhan closed his eyes and asked Ye Kai questions. The stars and the ocean disappeared, leaving only the vague sound of rustling.
Ye Kai turned his head to look at him and asked, "Why did you get back together with him?"
"He said he liked me a lot."
Chen Youhan's voice was light.
Ye Kai didn't expect this answer: "So many people like you, do you keep every one of them?"
Chen Youhan smiled slightly: "There is a difference between liking my money and liking me as a person."
"How do you know he likes you?"
"I let him choose."
Ye Kai was speechless, and even found it unbelievable: "But you don't like him."
"dislike."
"You shouldn't keep someone around who likes you but you don't like him."
"Why?"
"Because..." Ye Kai turned his head and looked at the dim night sky: "Because if someone appears in the future who likes you very much and you also like him very much, it would be unfair to him."
"Xiao Kai," Chen Youhan called him in a low and gentle voice, "there won't be such a person."
Ye Kaixin's mouth choked: "Why?"
"For example, if I like someone now, he probably won't like me." Chen Youhan said lightly. Ye Kai laughed dryly: "When did you become so unconfident?"
Chen Youhan sat up from the beach, patted the sand off his body, and said in a calm tone: "I always feel inferior in front of the person I like."
He helped Ye Kai up: "Let's go, go back to sleep."
It was still crowded for two men to sleep in the tent. Ye Kai woke up first in the morning and found that his sleeping bag had been kicked to the corner. He and Chen Youhan were huddled together. Chen Youhan's arm was across his waist, and his breath gently blew on Ye Kai's neck. The perfume faded, and Ye Kai smelled his scent more clearly and deeply than ever before. He was a little addicted, and his heart thumped slowly in his chest, and then beat wildly.
A thought flashed through his mind like lightning: Does he also fall asleep and wake up like this while holding someone?
Before Chen Youhan woke up, he turned over awkwardly and cautiously.
The arms were empty, and Chen Youhan opened his eyes, his eyes calm and deep.
After buying sandwiches at the convenience store at the entrance of the village, the two set out again. Before leaving Xiwan, they saw a group of people gathered on the rocks at the beach, with expressions of fear and pain on their faces. Ye Kai took two steps closer and turned pale with horror - a big python, with a bulging belly lying on the wet yellow stone, not knowing whether it was full or killed.
"Did the python eat people?" someone asked.
"No," said a Hong Konger who often comes here to hike lightly, "We ate wild boar."
A bolt from the blue - the cute, tuskless little wild boar was eaten.
Chen Youhan almost went crazy: "Ye Xiaokai! You absolutely, absolutely are not allowed to come here again!"
Ye Kai was dejected: "I am bigger than the wild boar."
Chen Youhan sneered, "Yes, snakes eat more."
Perhaps the incident with the python had irritated Chen Youhan, and he was very nervous the whole day. Ye Kai. The road from Xiwan to Xiantianwan has stone steps. Although it is easy, there are many tourists, many of whom come with their families to spend the weekend. The stone steps face the blue sea, and the roses with thorns flutter in the wind. Through the petals, you can see the towering cliffs, and the waves repeatedly beat against the rugged rocks, rolling up layers of white foam.
The stone steps were very narrow, only wide enough for two people to walk side by side. It was inevitable that they would bump into each other as they walked up and down. Chen Youhan held Ye Kai's hand and protected him on the side closer to the mountain.
"Brother Youhan, it seems like you are taking elementary school students on a spring outing."
"Well, next time I'll give you a small school bag and a yellow fisherman's hat."
Ye Kai: “…”
"There are a few big words embroidered on it: If you get lost, please find Mr. Chen."
"Write your phone number on the back?"
Chen Youhan led him to the side to let a few elderly people with crutches go first, and said casually: "Otherwise, you are so young, you definitely can't remember such a long number."
Ye Kai had nothing to complain about, so he said randomly: "Why should I look for you? I am not yours."
Chen Youhan held his hand tightly, glanced back at him, and smiled faintly: "If you are willing, it is not impossible."
Ye Kai's heart tightened when he heard Chen Youhan slowly add two suffixes: "...brother."
