The subway came onto the ground and slowed down. Rain washed the glass windows. The wild roses and bougainvilleas beside the tracks were beaten to wither. The sea in the distance was shrouded in gray wind and drizzle. All the colors were washed away by water.
The subway was not crowded on the weekend. Ye Kai was wearing AirPods, and his eyes unconsciously stayed on the couple opposite him. They were also coming out of the airport. The girl leaned on the boy's shoulder, and the two shared a pair of headphones. The boy half-raised his phone, probably watching a movie.
Due to jet lag, sleepiness and excitement, he was tormented by the combination of sleepiness and excitement. His heart was beating heavily and violently.
The phone vibrated, and Ye Kai came back to his senses and looked at the screen.
Chen Youhan said: It rained in Ning City today. In the picture, the prosperous CBD is shrouded in vast white fog, and the top of the beautiful signal tower can no longer be seen.
Ye Kai raised the corner of his mouth slightly towards the screen.
We shared the same rain.
The rain unknowingly carried the scent of wild roses.
The subway sank into the ground again, with a rumble and a flash of light. Fifteen minutes later, he got off at Ningxi Avenue Station, carrying a 24-inch suitcase, a carry-on suitcase, and a backpack - the crowd was surging, and he was not walking smoothly at all. He walked into the underground passage for five minutes, took the escalator, and went out to Exit A. He took the escalator on another floor, and his sight slowly went up. The magnificent and luxurious lobby appeared in Ye Kai's field of vision from bottom to top.
During the WeChat call, Ye Kai said calmly: "Brother Youhan, go downstairs to pick up the package."
Chen Youhan had just taken a shower. He ran ten kilometers and was ready to pack up and go to the company to work overtime. Gu Xiu's recent WeChat Moments signature has been changed to "I'll wait for you in the office in the wind and rain", and it's unknown who he was sending the message to. He picked up his phone without any psychological preparation. When he saw the avatar that he had to click countless times every day, his heart sank heavily, and then lifted slightly. An uncontrollable palpitation instantly ravaged his limbs.
Nineteen days.
Chen Youhan picked up the clothes and towels and put them into the dirty clothes basket, and asked, "What's the delivery?"
"A gift."
The well-trained security guard looked at him with a polite and restrained look. Ye Kai pursed his lips and said, "The security guard stopped him."
Chen Youhan pressed the start button on the washing machine, selected a program, and said nonchalantly, "Just ask the security guard to sign for it."
Ye Kai said patiently: "No, it must be signed for in person."
The drum was running silently, and the sound of water filling could be heard. Chen Youhan left the laundry room, completely out of temper: "What kind of precious thing did you give me? It can't be a flower, right?"
Ye Kai was amused by him, but he didn't laugh out loud. There was just a hint of laughter in his voice: "Why should I give you flowers?"
Chen Youhan went downstairs. He was the only one in the elevator. He tried to find something to say, fearing that Ye Kai would hang up after he finished speaking: "Have you arrived in Vancouver? Say hello to Ms. Lan."
Ye Kai said, "It's here. The Parma is open. Grandma asked me to bring it to you."
The twenty-eighth floor came down in a flash. With a ding, the rose gold elevator door opened, and a tall, thin figure walked out. He only wore T-shirts at home, always black, with smoke-gray sweatpants on the lower body, and even a pair of home cotton slippers on his feet, with his hair hanging down softly. He really came to see the courier, and walked slowly, asking casually: "Really, what is the flower language?"
"My love for you is not just limited to summer—"
He looked up, stopped walking, loosened his hands, and almost dropped his phone.
He was stunned on the spot.
The sound of Ye Kai's breathing appeared beside his ears, and he finished the second half of the sentence in a clean young voice: "...It will last forever."
It was only a few steps to the gate, but because he was wearing a white T-shirt and looked as clear as glass, the security guard in his neat uniform was slightly moved, and he even felt as if he saw a gust of early summer evening breeze.
The backpack hanging on the suitcase fell to the ground with a thud.
He threw himself into his arms, hugging him so hard that he almost took a step back.
Chen Youhan's heart rate quickly went out of control, his Adam's apple rolled slightly, he found his voice, and said with a smile: "So it really is a flower." He gently kissed Ye Kai's hair, his voice lowered: "I signed for it."
The security guard couldn't bear to watch and turned his eyes away. After a while, he couldn't help but turn back. His owner, who was either rich or noble, was restrained in his movements, and the boy definitely didn't notice his kiss. Chen Youhan smiled and glanced at him indifferently. He felt a shudder in his heart and turned away hastily. When he glanced again with his peripheral vision, he only saw their backs entering the elevator.
Ye Kai held the strap of his schoolbag in silence. After the surprise, he felt a little embarrassed by his slowness.
He said: "Brother Youhan, I lied to you——"
"Parma doesn't have a flower language. I made it up."
Chen Youhan laughed: "It's a good story. I took it seriously."
Ye Kai uttered a soft "ah", not knowing what to do, and said stubbornly: "I, I want to give it to that sister, what do you think?"
Chen Youhan put one hand in his trouser pocket, laughed out loud, and lowered his head: "Sister will probably like it very much."
Ye Kai observed his expression and became unhappy: "Didn't you forbid me to fall in love too early? Why are you smiling so happily?"
Chen Youhan said hypocritically: "I think my sister can do it."
Depend on.
The longing receded like the tide, and he was angry now.
Chen Youhan asked pointedly, "Why, you left your grandparents behind and came back early, all for that sister?"
Ye Kai said coldly: "Yes."
When they reached the 28th floor, Chen Youhan unlocked the door with his fingerprint and replied nonchalantly, "Oh, I'm so disappointed. I thought you came back for me."
"You wish." Ye Kai said, "I'm just hiding here from you because I'm afraid of getting scolded when I get home."
The door clicked shut, and Chen Youhan turned around in surprise: "Your parents don't know?"
Ye Kai turned his head: "I don't know."
As for how long the secret can be kept secret, it depends on when Lan Man suddenly gets the urge to call Qu Jia.
Chen Youhan stared at the man, blocking him rudely at the entrance, and continued to pretend to be confused: "So what are you going to do? Look for that sister?" His tone changed and he said jokingly: "You are not going to elope, are you?"
Ye Kai's face suddenly turned red. Behind him was the door, and in front of him was Chen Youhan, who was calm and oppressive. The light gray entrance was about ten square meters, but he had nowhere to hide. He said with a stiff upper lip: "Sister is very busy, I can't disturb her."
Chen Youhan chuckled: "I'm not busy, please bother me."
Ye Kai was stunned: "Ah?"
"I'll help that sister take care of you temporarily, you're welcome."
Only then did he let Ye Kai into the house and complained: "The flowers delivered here are not fresh. I think they smell after washing them."
Ye Kai took off his neck pillow and hit him: "Shut up!"
He grabbed the front of his T-shirt suspiciously and sniffed it.
I was suspicious and thought it might smell a bit like an airplane cabin.
That can't be considered smelly!
Chen Youhan held the water cup and laughed non-stop: "Why are you smelling yourself? Are you a flower?"
Ye Kai was completely speechless. He opened his suitcase, took out his clothes, and went into the bathroom furious. He came out of the shower with a lingering cool steam. He dried his hair, and Chen Youhan handed him a bottle of Perrier, saying, "Why does Parma smell like orange blossom?"
I put orange blossom essential oil shower gel in my bathroom, and you have the nerve to tease me like this.
Ye Kai took the water unhappily: "It's grown crooked! It's grafted! It's hybridized!"
After drinking half a bottle of water, he consciously went to pack his luggage. Chen Youhan gave him half of the cloakroom. The house was big, so everything was fine. The only problem was that the bed in the guest bedroom was still on the way. It might be crossing the ocean, but it hadn't reached the customs yet.
Ye Kai was sorting out his clothes while Chen Youhan leaned against the closet door with his arms folded, saying casually, "I only have one bed."
The action stopped immediately, and Ye Kai turned his head: "There's no bed in the guest room?"
"Yes, but it may still be in the Atlantic Ocean at this moment."
Ye Kai: “…”
His heart was pounding—
What the hell!
Do you want to stay? Or stay in a hotel? Why don't you just go home? You can come and play with him when you get home...
Chen Youhan said: "If you think it's too crowded——"
"I don't mind!"
Ah, that was a quick response.
Ye Kai closed his mouth reflexively and turned his eyes away hastily, and heard Chen Youhan finish the second half of the sentence slowly: "...I can sleep on the sofa."
Ye Kai went with the flow: "Okay then."
Chen Youhan reluctantly said, "Then squeeze in."
...Damn, another car crash.
The scene was horrific.
Ye Kaixin was panicked and speechless. He buried his head in the closet and pretended to pack clothes. He said in a messy way: "I, I can do anything!"
Chen Youhan laughed: "I'll sleep on the sofa and you sleep on the bed."
It was the first time that he slept in Chen Youhan's master bedroom with a clear mind. The bedding had been changed to new ones, and the curtains were not fully drawn. A faint light and shadow shone through the white gauze and spread on the floor, like water.
Ye Kai was counting sheep with his eyes open, and then he heard a heavy sound coming from the living room.
Bang!
He shuddered in shock, thinking of something, and immediately ran out to turn on the spotlight, and saw Chen Youhan holding his head and getting up from the ground, with a confused look on his face. His mouth was clearly about to curse "fuck", but the moment he saw Ye Kai, he blocked his mouth and thought to himself, damn, shame on me.
Ye Kai gloated a little: "At the age of thirty, your neural consciousness has degenerated to this extent."
Chen Youhan grabbed the blanket, his face looking a little grim.
Ye Kai said sensibly: "Brother Youhan, we can actually sleep in the same bed. I sleep very quietly and won't move around." Seeing that Chen Youhan didn't say anything, he said: "You still have to work tomorrow. You won't get a good rest if you sleep on the sofa all the time." Chen Youhan still didn't say anything, so he took a step back and said: "You won't dislike me, will you? Then I'll go home tomorrow."
Chen Youhan threw off the blanket, rubbed his shoulder blades, and followed him into the bedroom cursing.
The feeling of half of the bed sinking was obvious, which conveyed the fact that Chen Youhan was lying next to him more deeply than ever before. Half of Ye Kai's body was tense, as if his muscles and nerves had forgotten how to relax.
He couldn't hear the sound of cars late at night from such a high floor, but he could always hear the rustling sound of wheels scraping across the asphalt road. Under the illumination of the street lights, the road was bright yellow, and there might be a little shadow of the trees. If the wind blew, the shadows would sway -
"Brother Youhan?"
He whispered.
The only response he got was a long, deep breath.
Fell asleep.
He moved closer carefully, a little bit, then a little bit more. Chen Youhan lay on his side, and he gently hugged him from behind.
I held my breath, afraid of being woken up, afraid of being caught on the spot, afraid that this unexpressed love would be sternly rejected by the person involved.
His teeth were clenched, and his back teeth were tight, but he could not feel the pain. He had no time to pay attention to these details, otherwise he would find that his whole body was stiff like a robot, only his heart was alive, his eyes were bright, and his sense of smell was working. He didn't know whether it was Chen Youhan or his orange blossom scent, which was very faint in the night air.
Chen Youhan's breathing remained unchanged.
The hand holding him finally relaxed, the nerves and muscles found a way to relax, lazy, slack, the weight of the arm was reluctant to press on Chen Youhan's waist, and an irresistible drowsiness spread through his bones belatedly. It was numb.
Ye Kai hugged him and muttered in a low voice, "What sister? Idiot."
