It's two o'clock in the afternoon and the sun is just right.
Lu Mingfei moved two stools from the side and sat opposite Chu Zihang, almost half-lying down, holding a copy of "Dragon Genealogy" in his hand.
He has been sitting here for an hour. During this period, he played with his mobile phone and read a few books, but he didn't see his senior brother say anything serious.
Chu Zihang was sitting opposite him, looking down at the "On Bloodline" all the time. Those who didn't know better thought he was studying it, but in fact, Lu Mingfei hadn't seen him turn the page in the past hour!
"Junior brother..."
Lu Mingfei raised his eyelids, "Good guy, we finally got down to business."
"If a girl discusses your future 'home' with you, what does it mean?" Chu Zihang asked in a low voice.
"Home?"
Lu Mingfei poked his head out from behind the book.
"that is……"
Chu Zihang said awkwardly, "It's the layout of the house, such as what style of toothbrush cup to use, what kind of curtains, how many rooms there are."
"oh."
Lu Mingfei seemed a little disappointed and responded, and then there was no response.
Chu Zihang was also a little disappointed. It seemed that his junior brother didn't understand this very well.
That’s right, he doesn’t have much experience either…
Then who else can you ask about such a thing?
Lancelot? But that guy is also single.
He thought about the people he knew around him and found that except for his old enemy Caesar, he seemed to be unable to find anyone with experience.
No, Caesar has always claimed that Chen Motong is his first love, and he has no experience in this area.
I heard that Caesar is planning to propose to Chen Motong recently...
Chu Zihang subconsciously glanced at his junior brother.
This guy was half lying down, his face buried behind a book, and his expression could not be seen clearly.
On the highway on the day of returning to school, he confirmed his junior brother's feelings, and later learned from Xia Mi that his junior brother had found a girlfriend in Tokyo.
Chu Zihang slowly picked up the water glass on the table. Today he came to his junior brother to discuss bloodline matters, but his mind was completely confused. It seemed that he could only wait for another day.
"Are you and Xia Mi talking about marriage?"
Lu Mingfei said nonchalantly.
Water choked into the trachea, and Chu Zihang coughed violently.
Lu Mingfei thoughtfully pushed the carton on the table over.
"What are you talking about?" Chu Zihang came over slowly and frowned.
Lu Mingfei put down the book, took out a bag of potato chips from behind, opened the package with a pop, shrugged and said:
"A girl discusses her views on the wedding room with you. What do you think she wants to do? Or are you her best friend? Come on, your best friend is nothing!"
He took out a potato chip and stuffed it into his mouth, clicking it.
"Best friend?"
"It refers to girls who talk about everything, are close male friends, and can do many things together, but are not lovers. From a literary point of view, they are "close friends". The current theory only exists among same-sex lovers."
"……I'm not."
"Yeah, how could you be my best friend..." Lu Mingfei was suddenly stunned.
He looked back and forth at his senior brother with strange eyes.
I haven't thought about it this way before. Talents like senior brother are theoretically the most suitable people to become male best friends, right?
This person has a bitchy personality and is nosy, and his boyfriend is extremely powerful at critical moments. If same-sex lovers are likely to be straightened out, then you never need to worry about Chu Zihang taking advantage of him, even if your girlfriend takes the initiative to bring a pillow
When he comes to the door, he can also do not look at or touch anything inappropriate.
Senior brother is simply the first choice of female friends!
"cough--"
Chu Zihang looked at his junior brother in surprise, dazed for a moment, and then cleared his throat in embarrassment.
"Let's get back to the topic!" Lu Mingfei twisted his butt and changed to a comfortable sitting position, "When a girl comes to you to talk about her future home with great interest, and you are not her best friend, then there is only one truth..."
"What is it?"
"She took the initiative and came forward."
Lu Mingfei held up the non-existent frame, his eyes were sharp, and he summarized the current situation in a rigorous academic style.
"a?" Chu Zihang said hesitantly. He was unable to answer this "letter" of the simplest form of the Dao with his knowledge.
The junior brother was talking about some "academic terms" that he didn't understand again.
Lu Mingfei was chewing potato chips, his eyes wandering.
It is not convenient for him to say too bluntly that the junior sister is chasing you. This kind of thing needs to be understood by the senior brother. As someone once said, you can't just let girls take the initiative in some things, because other girls also want to save face.
"Brother, where are you going to settle down after graduation? Are you going back to your hometown?" Lu Mingfei asked casually.
Seeing the huge jump in the problem, Chu Zihang was about to put things right, but suddenly remembered Xia Mi's words in the morning.
If you don't understand some questions, the other party can only use one topic to introduce another topic.
Chu Zihang was silent for a moment and said: "I never thought that after graduation I would most likely join the executive department and search for dragon clan relics all over the world, or deal with hybrids whose bloodline is out of control."
Lu Mingfei nodded and said: "This is in line with your style, senior brother. If nothing happens to you in your life, you will basically kill and kill all over the world until one day you die in the mission or lose yourself completely. Unfortunately... I am you
The biggest surprise in life.”
He stuffed a potato chip into his mouth, and the clicking sound started again.
"Senior brother, you live too regularly. You have been living in the past. You have never even dreamed about the beauty of the future. This has nothing to do with being timid. It is purely because you have closed the door yourself. But now, happiness is knocking on the door."
"Do you want to hear my fantasy about the future? Maybe you will understand it yourself after listening to it."
Lu Mingfei grinned, and there seemed to be a hint of provocation in his smile.
Chu Zihang frowned and said solemnly: "You say."
"Oh, no rush, let me ask you a question first, what was the home you lived in like when you were a child?"
“It’s small, crowded, and messy, but very cozy.”
"Okay, I have almost forgotten everything about my childhood. I just remember that my parents were often not at home. I was alone at home. What impressed me most was the ivy in the yard. Later I stayed at my uncle's house and I lived with my cousin.
In a small house with no air conditioning, I would sweat profusely in the summer. At that time, I was lying on the bed, listening to the sound of the fan of the air conditioner upstairs, thinking about how I would make a lot of money in the future.
…”
Lu Mingfei paused, raised his head and said:
"I must buy a house with air conditioning, a computer with the fastest speed for playing games, and a TV with the biggest screen. This is what I thought at the time. The fastest and the biggest are the 'best' things I can think of at the time.
adjective."
"Don't laugh at me. I was still young and a boy at that time. I couldn't be as meticulous as my junior sister. I even arranged my teeth cups and toothbrushes clearly."
He scratched his head and seemed a little embarrassed.
Chu Zihang was silent, but his heart was touched. It turns out that this is also a vision for the future and home?
So, he had thought about similar problems before.
However, what he was daydreaming about was not the big house with air conditioning and TV, but the dilapidated bungalow in his memory that was only a dozen square meters.
Of course, that room couldn't compare to the big villa at his stepfather's house, but it was the most complete home in Chu Zihang's memory.
"People's dreams will gradually change and improve as they grow up, and the same goes for the 'home' in their fantasy."
"The home I originally wanted was the 'biggest and fastest', but now, what I want is far from such superficial things."
Chu Zihang slowly came back to his senses and found that the topic was still continuing.
Lu Mingfei didn't know when he sat next to him, put his arm around his shoulders, and whispered in his ear.
"Senior brother, imagine this is a small duplex building. We are sitting on the sofa on the first floor. There is a wooden staircase connecting the second floor. The sunlight shines transparently into the house, and the air is filled with a faint fragrance of flowers.
You half-squinted your eyes and stared at the side stairs leading to the second floor."
"Two pairs of long, shiny white legs were going up and down the stairs, and the fluffy slippers made a clicking sound on the wooden board. You raised your head on the sofa, and the girl flew into your arms with a smile. You
His five fingers ran through her waist-length black waterfall-like hair, the tip of his nose was filled with her fresh orchid-like body fragrance, the touch was soft and delicate, her breath gently breathed on your face, itching, under the sun
There is a touch of golden fluff on her side face, and your figure is reflected in her pupils..."
"Oh my god, this is such a disturbing picture, it's so heart-wrenching!"
Lu Mingfei said with a chuckle, his eyes filled with gentle light.
When he spoke, he did not look at his senior brother, but looked out the window in the direction of Tokyo, which spans fourteen time zones.
Although we live under the same blue sky, the damn distance is still a bit far...
Chu Zihang looked dazed, and whispered: "It seems a bit wretched."
Lu Mingfei turned his head, looked at the wooden fish head and couldn't help but sighed, and emphasized: "Please learn to distinguish the difference between obscenity and sentimentality!"
"Sentiment?"
"The most common atmosphere is the so-called candlelight dinner."
"There was a candle lit in the dim environment. It was dark all around. Only the soft warm light of the candle illuminated the distance between you. The girl's face was looming in the candlelight. She was the only thing you could see in the darkness.
Everything, you are also everything in a girl’s field of vision.”
"As the candlelight flickers, the light and shadow change on your faces. You can even see yourself and the candlelight in each other's eyes. In this short night, you enjoy a world with only each other. How romantic!"
Chu Zihang suddenly recalled the time he invited Xia Mi to watch a movie in junior high school.
He and Xia Mi were the only two people in the huge screening room, and the light and shadow flowed and changed on Xia Mi's face like water waves.
He began to take notes silently in his mind.
Is this what the so-called candlelight dinner actually means?
He always thought that the truth about candlelight dinner was that the color temperature of candlelight is 1800K, which is absolutely warm light. Light with this color temperature is the most relaxing and pleasant light.
It turns out that it’s not just the color temperature, but also many small details...
"Wait, why are there two legs in front?" Chu Zihang suddenly grasped a key point.
"My wife, my wife, holy shit, senior brother, you don't want me to die alone, right?"
"But...why are you and your wife at my house?" Chu Zihang asked in embarrassment.
"Senior brother, don't make trouble. It's not us at your house, but you and Xia Mi at mine."
Lu Mingfei corrected his wrong thinking,
"What I'm telling you is my fantasy for the future. I will buy a two-story duplex building with a courtyard in the future. You and Xia Mi just happened to come to the door."
"At that time, the two girls were running around downstairs and upstairs, and our senior brothers were busy in the yard. Come on, senior brother, what kind of flowers do you like? Cherry blossoms? Chrysanthemums? Oh, it doesn't matter if you don't like it, just plant ivy.
I still remember that there was an article "The Feet of the Creeper" by Mr. Ye in the primary school Chinese textbook."
The junior brother began to recite affectionately:
"Those leaves are so fresh green and very pleasant to look at. The tips of the leaves are facing down, and they are spread so evenly on the wall without overlapping or leaving any gaps. A gust of wind blows, and the leaves on the wall are like
The ripples are so beautiful..."
He grinned again and said, "You said growing up in the same environment, will my son become Lu Shengtao in the future?"
Chu Zihang ignored him.
He stared out the window blankly, feeling that the world was so quiet, and it would be better if there were no junior brothers flying wildly in his ears.
Fresh, flamboyant green came across time and space, swarming into his mind, as if an endless forest had taken root. The sunlight shined through the layers of branches and leaves into his pupils. His pupils dilated, and his whole body
I trembled slightly like electricity, and my vision suddenly became clear. In front of me were the ivy hanging on the courtyard wall, the sunlight was filtered into green, and there was an intimate call from behind...
He turned around slowly.
There are green and slender grass tips under her feet, and the white skirt is flying. The girl has her hands intertwined behind her back, smiling like a crescent moon, and the huge sunset is slowly falling behind her.
world……
so quiet.
…
"I see."
He suddenly raised his head and spoke to his junior brother word by word, his eyes dancing with an unprecedented light.
Lu Mingfei was stunned for a moment, then forced out a smile and said, "Congratulations!"
But there was a trace of sadness hidden in his eyes that Chu Zihang didn't notice.
He looked at his senior brother who was suddenly enlightened, and sighed quietly without his senior brother noticing.
Senior brother, you have used self-discipline as a chain to restrain yourself for too long, and you have been immersed in your own world for too long. It has been so long that happiness has knocked on your door, and you are still confused and unaware...
You don't understand it yet, but you will soon.
Because there is a man who taught you all this a long time ago, and all you need is a little reminder.
"Want to go swimming?" Lu Mingfei sat back down, grabbed another handful of potato chips and stuffed them into his mouth, "Fairy Lake, Fairy Lake, if you don't go there, I will almost forget about it, so I won't call you junior sister. Let's hurry up."
Let’s fight quickly.”
The topic changed from ordinary matters to psychological counseling and it immediately returned to the right track.
Chu Zihang was startled for a moment, then nodded quickly and said, "Okay, I've borrowed the relevant diving equipment in advance. I'll see you downstairs in the dormitory in twenty minutes."
Lu Mingfei gave an "ok" gesture, bared his teeth and said, "You can take my car later!"
Chu Zihang stood up to pack his books, glanced at him, and said calmly: "Has your Bugatti Veyron been repaired?"
Lu Mingfei's expression suddenly fell.
Thanks to his senior brother's reminder, he finally remembered that his credit card was in arrears due to a series of failed exams and a late-night overdraft. The Bugatti Veyron had been in a scrapped state since the Constantine incident.
Lu Mingfei stood up with a hurt look on his face, his shoulders slumped, and he picked up his bag in frustration and prepared to go back to bed and pack it away.
"If you can teach me how to dance, I can consider helping you pay to repair your car."
Lu Mingfei froze for a moment and turned back in disbelief.
Chu Zihang held the book and walked past him expressionlessly, leaving only one sentence -
"In a few days, it will be the welcome party."
A bright smile slowly appeared on Lu Mingfei's face.
He quickly stepped forward, took his senior brother by the shoulders, patted his chest, and said in a loud voice: "Don't worry, I'll teach you and get you started in one day! I'm sure to make clear arrangements for you, senior brother!"
