It was a Saturday morning, the weather was not very bright, but gloomy, making it difficult to be in high spirits. Occasionally there were gusts of cool wind, it must have rained last night, and it was hard to have good weather in this season.
On the bus, class leaders were counting the number of people. The college rented three buses, so there were more than enough seats.
There were also some people who suddenly changed their minds and did not want to go, such as Wei Dong from their dormitory, who had to go home for something, but it was not a mandatory requirement for their grade anyway.
Lin Xu sat in the aisle seat in the second to last row, and the window seat next to him was reserved for Gu Jinzhi. After all, he had never seen Zhizhi take public transportation, and he didn't know if she would get dizzy.
But with only a few minutes left before the departure time, there was still no sign of anyone. Lin Xu was not too anxious. It could even be said that it was within his expectations. When Zhizhi clamored to come over, he felt that it was unlikely that she could come over. However, he still prepared some necessities for her.
In fact, Zhizhi seemed to be unable to get up at this time. Working on weekdays was very tiring, so it would be good for her to have a good rest on weekends.
The teacher leading the team was on another bus, and there was no one to supervise them, so the bus was very lively.
He Tian and Lu Zhe were sitting in the row in front of Lin Xu. They turned around and chatted with Lin Xu.
"Second brother, your boyfriend is not coming? Then why don't we sleep together tonight?" He Tian joked with a smile, but he really didn't mind.
Although Lao Er is a gay, no one in the dormitory is worried about being loved by him. After all, Lin Xu's usual cleanliness shows that he dislikes them. On weekdays, he seems to be no different from straight men...
and no matter how gay they are, they still have to look good. They are still quite self-aware. They are not as good-looking as other people's boyfriends.
Lu Zhe is very careless. He forgot to bring his tent when he left the dormitory, so he could only pester He Tian and squeeze him. He Tian dislikes him. He is tall and strong, and that small space is probably really crowded.
"?" Lin Xu glanced at him in confusion.
Then He Tian immediately shut up with wit: "Just a joke, hahahaha, I'm afraid of Brother Gu." Well, actually he is more afraid of Lao Er. Although Lin Xu is usually a very nice person and basically will not refuse their requests for help and will help in any way he can, he has a very clear sense of boundaries and it is impossible to make an exception.
Before being with Gu Jinzhi, Lin Xu only kept boundaries with girls to avoid unnecessary misunderstandings. But after being with her, he would be more careful when getting along with boys, even if the relationship was really pure and it was absolutely impossible for him to have strange feelings.
Because boys sometimes get along with each other casually, and even take a bath together and rub each other's backs, Lin Xu still understands the principle of keeping things within the same family.
Fortunately, his roommates understand him better and are used to Lin Xu being dressed neatly even when he comes out of the bathroom. If it were someone else, they would probably think that Lin Xu is very aloof and difficult to get along with.
But sometimes I still feel very emotional. They really rarely see a man like Lin Xu. Except for Gu Jinzhi, he almost never lets anyone invade his private life. Men should all have bad natures. Are gays different?
Speaking of this, it seems not to be the case.
"Do you know that the tall and thin boy with glasses in the next dormitory broke up with his girlfriend." He Tian gossiped softly. He really couldn't remember the boy's name. He only knew that he didn't talk much and his grades were not bad. His mid-term exam score was only second to the second.
"Oh, I remember now, but it can be considered the next dormitory even if it is separated by several dormitories?" Lu Zhe nodded.
"Don't worry about the details! Do you know how they split up? It was because on his girlfriend's birthday, he went to their school to give her a surprise, and then caught them in bed."
Lin Xu didn't remember who it was, but since He Tian told him, he just listened. This development was cliché and realistic. Lin Xu nodded and didn't care too much. Other people's feelings were hard to explain.
"Isn't that boy also gay?" Lu Zhe replied.
Lin Xu felt that what they said was really what they wanted. He felt that it was somehow connected to him.
"That's why I said our second brother is a good man. I feel that some gays play it pretty messy."
Lin Xu cleared his throat. Facing their "compliments", he didn't know what to say for a moment. He could only say that it had something to do with the person.
Listening to He Tian and the others talking, Lin Xu realized that the top student in the next dorm and his boyfriend had been dating since high school. His boyfriend was a handsome guy, his grades weren't very good, but he loved to have fun and often went to bars.
Later, when they were fighting, his boyfriend attacked him for having no interest, being a nerd, being boring and rigid. They had been talking for so long and still hadn't slept together, and his boyfriend had dated her countless times during that time.
As they were talking, He Tian suddenly felt embarrassed to continue the conversation, because as he was talking, he suddenly worried that he would make the second child think of something unhappy.
After all, he realized belatedly that Lin Xu and his boyfriend's personalities seemed to be quite...matched, this dumb mouth.
In other words, in fact, every relative and friend who knew that the two were together should have more or less this faint suspicion in their hearts.
Even Gu Jinzhi, his biological brother, knew that his brother was simple-minded, but he was also afraid that his brother would simply get bored with the old and fall into other people's traps. Others who didn't know Gu Jinzhi at all thought that he was just a playful kid, a second-generation rich kid.
Lin Xu didn't think of these things at all. How could he connect Zhizhi with other messy things? He didn't even notice that He Tian was too embarrassed to say anything when he looked at him.
The driver asked, "Are we all here? It's time to go."
Lin Xu then sent a message to Gu Jinzhi, "Zhizhi, are you still sleeping in? (Laughs). I'm leaving and will be back at school on Monday afternoon. Didn't you say before that Xu Zhou asked you to go out and play? You can go out and relax, but be careful. You can message me anytime, but I may not be able to reply on time." After sending the message, he put on his headphones and closed his eyes to rest.
In fact, in the past few months, Zhizhi has been focusing on him on her days off, and Lin Xu has long felt that he has sacrificed her independence too much.
Before they fell in love, Zhizhi should have often gone out to play with friends. He can't give up just because he is in love, and he also believes that Zhizhi knows her own limits. His studies were a bit too boring for Zhizhi. For example, if Zhizhi really followed him today, she could only watch him squatting in the mountains with his head buried for most of the day. He might as well sleep.
The driver started the car, and when he was about to drive to the school gate, he heard a loud male voice and stopped.
"Teacher, stop for a moment, some people haven't gotten on yet!" Gu Jinzhi jumped up and waved to him, and got on after the car door opened, attracting the attention of all the classmates in the car.
He was sweating all over his head and wearing a gray sweatshirt, but he did not arouse the suspicion that he did not look like a student.
Lin Xu opened his eyes as if he heard a familiar voice, and then saw Gu Jinzhi grinning and waving at him. At that moment, he seemed to see the bright sunshine.
Then Gu Jinzhi took two or three steps to his side, twisted her butt and sat down in the window seat.
Lin Xu noticed the gazes of the people around him, and her ears blushed. Then she saw that Gu Jinzhi, who had attracted attention, looked unaware and said to him, "Ah Xu, find me a wet towel to wipe my sweat."
Lin Xu handed it to him while saying, "I thought you were still asleep."
But Zhizhi was really a social cow. If he had missed it, he might have been embarrassed to call for a stop.
"I set three alarms." Gu Jinzhi stretched out his hand and made a three, saying seriously. I went to bed early last night, how could I not wake up. It just took me some time to get ready, and then I was late. I just chased him for more than ten meters.
Therefore, Lin Xu could see that Gu Jinzhi's hair style was not messy even though he was running around like that, because he sprayed styling spray on his hair, and he smelled good. He was wearing white sports pants and sneakers, and he looked youthful.
However, they were going to the mountains...
Lin Xu himself was wearing black, which was more resistant to dirt, but it also made his skin look whiter, and he looked classy and restrained.
Lin Xu was not idle, and wiped the sweat off his face, saying, "Actually, you don't have to come. It's really boring."
Gu Jinzhi's hands were free, so she put them on her boyfriend's thighs, her eyes sparkling, and she didn't think so: "It's obviously very interesting!" They could sleep in a tent together. Although he didn't like camping very much, if it was with Ah Xu, he wouldn't mind having this experience.
Lin Xu didn't expect that the outdoor experiment in front of him was camping in Zhizhi's mind. But he also brought a tablet so that he could play games in the tent.
"What's so fun about being with that kid Xuzhou? It's nothing more than drinking and dancing. His single life is almost over, so he keeps looking for me now." Gu Jinzhi saw Lin Xu's message, leaned on his shoulder and complained without reservation, and was a little schadenfreude.
For Xuzhou, the marriage is the beginning of misery. But for Gu Jinzhi, she can't wait to get married.
When He Tian and the others heard Gu Jinzhi's voice, they looked at each other. Sure enough, the second brother Gu is quite good at having fun. It's as easy to say as eating. Sometimes I really worry about the second brother. He is so honest even when his partner is not around.
But in the common people's impression, going to a bar or something like that is to pick up girls/men, so it is associated with the impression of having fun. But for Gu Jinzhi, he really just went there to sit and it was very boring.
Lin Xu listened to him chattering, and also talked about the other party's reaction after he confessed to Gu Qi.
"My brother is a big fool. I don't know how he could think that we would stop loving each other one day." Gu Jinzhi leaned into his ear and complained, not understanding.
Lin Xu smiled helplessly. Unlike Gu Jinzhi's confusion, he could understand what Gu Qi meant, but he was not afraid. For him, being faithful seems to be something that comes naturally, just like he has never thought about changing his ideal career, and he has never thought about settling when he was of marriageable age in his previous life. On the contrary, it is more difficult to change his mind because it completely goes against his beliefs.
"Have you told your brother, Ah Xu?" Gu Jinzhi asked curiously, wanting to know Lin Shen's reaction.
His brother supported them being together, but he also felt that getting engaged so early was too hasty, so Lin Shen must be firmly opposed.
Lin Xu recalled his brother's frown as if he wanted to say something but couldn't, and said calmly: "He has no objection."
Gu Jinzhi was very surprised, and felt that Ah Xu's brother was better than his own brother.
"But I haven't mentioned it to my parents yet. I'll talk to them in person when they come back from their business trip." Lin Xu said again. After all, this is indeed a serious matter, and he doesn't think Lin's father and mother will agree so easily. It's hard to explain over the phone, and Lin Xu doesn't actually contact them very often, so they feel a little unfamiliar. It's just that he is not a college student who really depends on his parents, so he can't do anything like acting coquettishly to his parents.
"Will they agree?" Gu Jinzhi was a little melancholy.
"Yes." Lin Xu's words quickly made him feel at ease.
If his family didn't understand, Lin Xu would show them his rationality and explain his ideas. He was not impulsive, and then tried his best to convince his family. If he couldn't understand, then he was not a little boy without his own opinions.
Gu Jinzhi got up a little early, so he fell asleep quickly leaning on Lin Xu. Lin Xu closed the curtains and maintained the same action all the time.
For someone like him, long-lasting companionship may be his most lasting confession.
The place they went to was on a mountain far away from the city center, and it took them three hours to drive there. The mountain is not high, but it is very vast. It is covered with tall trees that almost block out the sun in this weather. There seems to be a large lake at the foot of the mountain, with no end in sight.
The bus stopped at a mountain road where there is no highway, and they had to walk the rest of the way by themselves, but it was very close.
There are some houses in this area, but not many, and there are no supermarkets or anything like that. At least you have to go to the foot of the mountain to find a small shop that is open. It is not far to the foot of the mountain, and it only takes an hour to walk there, but it is also a waste of time. So all things must be brought in advance. Senior students have to stay for two weeks, and they can go down the mountain to buy some things if there are special circumstances. They are here just to experience it, so there will be a car to pick them up after the weekend.
The teacher who led the team took everyone away after calling the roll. They had already found a suitable base for the experiment.
There aren't many snakes, insects, rats and ants in the north, but they had to run up the mountain, so Gu Jinzhi was still a little surprised to follow Lin Xu, but he felt safe with his arms around his waist.
They consciously fell behind so as not to attract attention.
Because it had rained, the mountain road was a little muddy, so Gu Jinzhi's little white shoes got dirty quickly, and he frowned angrily.
"It was a waste of time." He muttered, looking really sloppy now.
Lin Xu couldn't help laughing: "I'll help you wipe it when we get there."
Walking up the mountain, Gu Jinzhi felt that it seemed a little eerie in this weather.
"Don't worry, it won't rain in the next few days, and there are buildings on the top of the mountain. We will camp nearby then." Lin Xu said.
However, there might be some mosquitoes, so Lin Xu took out a bottle of mosquito repellent from his backpack and sprayed it around Gu Jinzhi, so there was nothing to be afraid of.
Gu Jinzhi came here empty-handed, but he didn't expect Ah Xu to bring everything with him, so his perfume was all in vain...
The top of the mountain was indeed not high, and they arrived soon. Standing on the top of the mountain and looking down, they could see the vast lake behind, and the scenery was quite beautiful.
Everyone set up tents on the flat ground first, and Lin Xu was quite accustomed to this. Originally, Gu Jinzhi was eager to help him, but then he found that he was making more and more chaos, and the progress was not as good as letting Lin Xu do it himself. Gu Jinzhi
squatted aside, looking at her boyfriend's clean and skillful hands and feet, and for a moment she was a little in admiration.
"Zhizhi, when we gather to do the experiment later, you can just play in the tent." Otherwise it would be really boring.
Lin Xu carried a large travel bag, with almost everything he needed.
"Yeah!" Gu Jinzhi felt that her boyfriend, who was focused on his profession, seemed to have a special charm, even though his feet were muddy and he seemed no longer as elegant as usual when he rolled up his sleeves.
"We can come back after a good sleep." Lin Xu heard the call to gather and comforted Gu Jinzhi, saying that he could just think of himself as camping.
"I'll wait for you." Gu Jinzhi was not disappointed, he rather yearned for the feeling of lying in the tent with Ah Xu at night and looking at the stars, although there should be no stars.
Gu Jinzhi lay in the tent peacefully to catch up on her sleep, and woke up in the evening, awakened by the aroma of rice. When he opened his eyes, he found that Ah Xu had washed, changed clothes and sat next to him. There was a clean water source nearby, which was prepared by the teachers in advance.
Although the conditions were a little harsh, basic life could be met.
"Zhizhi, you can only eat self-heating rice." Lin Xu said guiltily as he brought it to him. He thought Zhizhi might have never lived such a life and didn't know if she could bear it.
Gu Jinzhi felt very fresh, especially when she saw her boyfriend as soon as she woke up. The feeling of happiness was irresistible.
"It's delicious." Gu Jinzhi praised.
Of course, it's not that it tastes good, but Gu Jinzhi likes the current atmosphere very much.
Lin Xu sat side by side with him, with a table lamp beside them. There were also whispers of conversation coming from other tents. It was actually quite lively.
Looking at her boyfriend's glowing profile, Gu Jinzhi couldn't help but kiss him with her greasy lips, and then burst into laughter.
Lin Xu was surprised for a moment, and he didn't know whether to wipe it or not. He was very helpless.
After collecting the garbage and putting it in the garbage bag, the two of them closed the tent and entered the nightlife.
Of course, it was impossible to do anything under such conditions, but Gu Jinzhi still wrapped her arms and legs around Lin Xu, saying, "It's a bit cold, so we have to huddle together for warmth." She spoke righteously.
After hearing what he said, Lin Xu took out a pair of plush cotton socks from his backpack. He thought that his feet might be really frozen, so he brought them.
He lifted up Gu Jinzhi's legs, lowered his head to change his socks, and then raised his eyes and said, "When your feet are warm, your whole body will be warm."
Gu Jinzhi just looked at him like that, his heart was numb, and it was indeed warm from his feet to his heart.
"Ah Xu, I really want to marry you." Gu Jinzhi buried his head in his chest, and he didn't know how to describe it. When he was with Lin Xu, he often forgot that he was the older one and should take more responsibilities.
Such a straightforward confession made Lin Xu's eyelids tremble.
"We have to wait a few more years." Lin Xu patted his back, feeling helpless that he was too young.
"We'll get the marriage certificate on your 22nd birthday." Gu Jinzhi had already thought about it.
"Yeah." Lin Xu agreed.
"Are you bored during the day? Do you want to play games?" Lin Xu asked him. Actually, Lin Xu didn't play games much, but he could play with Zhizhi.
Gu Jinzhi actually wanted to say that he was not bored, because he also loved to sleep, and now he was compensated by being able to sleep with his boyfriend in his arms, but who would refuse such a request?
"Okay, let me take you away!" Gu Jinzhi took out his mobile phone with great interest, and then found that many work WeChat messages popped up.
"Do you want to deal with them first?" Lin Xu asked doubtfully.
"No, no." Gu Jinzhi didn't care at all. How could he deal with work on the weekend?
But for a moment, he was a little shy. Ah Xu studied very hard, but he was not serious at work. It was a pity that he was still the older one.
Of course, this did not hinder him from playing. Lin Xu was indeed a bit of a noob, but Gu Jinzhi was also a real leader, known as the Kyoto Wild King.
This guy was indeed very handsome in the game, with countless friend applications, and many wealthy netizens who had played games with him wanted to pay a high price to have Gu Jinzhi play with them.
Lin Xu had never played before, so he played the way Gu Jinzhi taught him, and he felt that it seemed a bit too simple.
"Is it okay to just hang on to you?" Lin Xu asked doubtfully, in fact, he didn't really want to play a female hero, it felt weird.
"Yes!" Gu Jinzhi felt a sense of accomplishment, and told Lin Xu to look at the battle record.
"20-1-1, this is what I mean by being very good." Gu Jinzhi said with a raised lip.
Soon, the other party seemed to have sent some rather excessive messages, but Lin Xu just followed Zhizhi's words and didn't know that the other party was scolding him.
Before he could react, Gu Jinzhi had already started to rant, and she didn't repeat any of her insults. Then she angrily stabbed the other party several times, but the other party couldn't handle him. He couldn't find fault with Lin Xu because the two of them were like conjoined twins.
In the end, he could only scold Gu Jinzhi and Lin Xu for being elementary school students, and their combined size was probably not as big as his shoe size.
Lin Xu was shocked, because he hadn't seen Zhizhi so hot-tempered for a long time. It suddenly occurred to him that when they first fell in love online, Zhizhi's mouth was quite sharp, and everyone in the group called him a keyboard warrior.
"Ah Xu, I'm like this because they said something excessive first, and this wasn't a ranking match, so they were the ones who went too far." After Gu Jinzhi finished scolding, he came to his senses and carefully tried to restore his image.
"It's okay, I know it's not Zhizhi's fault." Lin Xu touched his head, he was just a little bit competitive, it was a small matter.
Even if both sides were even, although the other side seemed to be a little worse.
"I was scared by them." Gu Jinzhi tried to pretend to be pitiful again.
"Ah? Really..." Lin Xu kissed Gu Jinzhi's forehead awkwardly.
"Yeah!" Gu Jinzhi got the advantage and smiled with narrowed eyes, Ah Xu is so easy to fool.
