Tropical Highway

Chapter 53

Facts have proved that the careful planning before the trip often fails to keep up with the changes. Zhai Lan's trip to Dali, which was full of laughter and laughter, encountered a serious test from the first day.

"Today we are going to Xichang at noon and Kunming at night..."

There seemed to be a fly with a true voice hovering in his ear, chattering around him, Zhai Lan turned over, stretched out his hand unconsciously and patted around, looking to drive the fly away.Unexpectedly, the sound of the fly became louder, and someone grasped the outstretched hand. Before he had time to think, his body was suddenly pulled upward——

"Get up quickly!" You Zhen turned to Zhai Lan's ear, "Who, who told him to get up early last night?"

Zhai Lan was half asleep and half awake, humming indiscriminately: "I got up..."

But he floated around limply, as if his legs had been soaked in sea water.

Zhai Lan didn't have much memory of how he brushed his teeth and changed his clothes, until he was dragged by You Zhen to the parking lot, opened the co-pilot and stuffed it into the car. , Continue to return to sleep.

When he wakes up again this time, the highway is already in his field of vision, and the sunlight hits his face too harshly, making Zhai Lan unable to sleep any longer.

"Yo, are you awake?" You Zhen said, turning up the stereo in the car.

The cheerful soft rock immediately spread, filling the entire car, mixed with the whispered conversations in the back row, which can dispel all difficulties.

Zhai Lan covered her face with both hands, and said "Mmm".

"Xiao Lan woke up?" Jiang Fang poked his head out in the back row, holding a thermal bag in his hand and handing it to Zhai Lan, "Steamed buns, fried dough sticks, soy milk, and soy milk, which one do you eat? If you don't like it, I will bring it with you." cold noodles."

Zhai Lan: "..."

Faced with Jiang Fang in light sportswear and excited, Zhai Lan turned his head to study the rapidly retreating scenery. There was a sign ahead, saying that the distance to "Lingshan Temple" was still 400 kilometers away.After he realized it, he finally had the real feeling to start traveling.

Zhai Lan ignorantly took the steamed bun prepared by Jiang Fang and ate it.

"How does it taste?" Jiang Fang was full of expectation, "It's a 20-year-old shop downstairs from my house."

"He hasn't slept yet, so he can't taste it." The master didn't speak, and Li Feimu teased from behind the co-pilot, "But today's performance is good enough, so I don't feel like getting up."

Zhai Lan: "..."

Being ridiculed in turn after sleeping, he suddenly felt a little embarrassed, forgot to even refute, and simply lowered his head and ate breakfast.

The decision to invite Li Feimu was finally made by Zhai Lan. He took the initiative to send a message to Li Feimu to ask the time. The other party was surprised for a moment, and then readily agreed.This experience broke the ice-breaking trend of the brotherly relationship that had been awkward for a long time. Li Feimu can now joke with him as before, as if the unhappiness has completely passed.

"Stop making trouble, you two." It was Yang Jin's voice, but a little further away, "Xiao Lan is not bad, the one next to me is still sleeping like a pig—"

"Then I'd better turn down the music." You Zhen said, "Don't disturb Tenzin."

Yang Jin: "It's okay, he can't hear at all when he's asleep."

At [-] o'clock in the morning, the sky was already bright, and it was still too blue to see a cloud. The blue sky was dazzling and bright. Through the sunroof of the SUV, a few jumping rainbow lights were projected onto the leather seats.

Zhai Lan bit her soy milk straw and turned her head, only then did she see how everyone was sitting.Li Feimu and Jiang are placed in the second row, and the last two seats are automatically raised and lowered, and are currently being occupied by the Yang Jin siblings.Yang Jin rested his chin with one hand in the middle and was sharing the strategies on his mobile phone with Li Feimu, while Tenzin was half lying down, almost submerged by the back of the chair, and fell asleep without knowing what day or night it would be.

The sound of the music was still turned down a bit, and You Zhen directed Zhai Lan to change the playlist, replacing the brisk rock with quiet pure music.Holding the backpack in his arms, Zhai Lan looked down at his feet, and the chatter in his ears came to his mind.

"Is it comfortable for him to sleep like this?" Li Feimu was full of worries about Tenzin, "The cervical spine won't be uncomfortable..."

Yang Jin: "I couldn't sleep last night when I thought about going out to play, but I couldn't get up this morning."

"All children are like this." You Zhen concluded.

As soon as the words fell, the co-pilot stretched out a hand and pinched You Zhen mercilessly.

At the end of the trip, I chose self-driving. Except for the two "children" Zhai Lan and Tenzin, the people who decided to travel were all veteran drivers with at least two or three years of driving experience, not to mention Li Feimu and You Zhen, who had been tempered on Nyingchi Mountain Road and drove high-speed roads. All at home.If you go to Yunnan and look far away, you can go to Kunming in one day if you change your driving.

The car is Youzhen's 7-seat SUV. It was just licensed and drove home a few years ago. This is the first time that it is really preparing for a long journey.The space is huge, six people can sit in the front row, and all the luggage can be put in the trunk.

The only arrangement for the day was to hurry.

Passing through the Erlang Mountain Tunnel in a thick fog, the sun seems to be brighter after leaving the Sichuan Basin, but with the wind, it is no longer a silent heat.The windows were opened and music was playing all the way.

Arrive at Xichang at noon, take a rest in Kunming at night, stay one day to visit Dounan Flower Market and continue to set off.

Bypassing the Dianchi Lake, you can vaguely see the green mountains and green waters on the expressway around the city. The air in Yunnan is full of freedom and casualness, and it seems that you can show your true self here.Passing through the Kunchu Expressway and driving for nearly 4 hours, the sign of "Dali Bai Autonomous Prefecture" appeared, and everyone cheered up in unison.

The accommodation was first set in Xiaguan, dinner was casual, and the sequelae of the two-day long journey followed.

"Are you sure you don't want to go?" Yang Jin stood at the door of the room.

Jiang Fang lay on the bed: "No..."

Yang Jin seemed to sigh: "I heard that the bar in Dali is very good, I would like to buy you a drink."

As a friend for many years, she knows that Jiang Fang likes to drink, but it is too obvious that Jiang Fang is trying to stimulate him.

Yang Jin seemed to be desperate for this lazy man, and didn't say another word.

"What about you?" Yang Jin turned his head and asked someone whose eyes were shining all the time.

Li Feimu barely stood up straight: "Then I will accompany you."

On the surface, Jiang Fang and Li Feimu lived in the same room, but now that Li Feimu has left, Jiang Fang has always maintained a sleepy posture.Not long after, You Zhen and Zhai Lan came from the next door to inquire about the situation. Seeing this scene, You Zhen looked towards the end of the corridor, and Yang Jin's figure had completely disappeared.

"Sister Yang Jin really likes to go to bars." Zhai Lan said with emotion, "I was in Kunming last night too. I said that a friend of Amway's song in the bar was good, and the wine was delicious. It was twelve o'clock and I had to go to get a drink. .”

"Alcohol is her life." Jiang Fangwen said in a low voice.

Zhai Lan pretended to be surprised: "Brother Jiang Fang, did you not fall asleep?"

Jiang Fang was too lazy to expose Zhai Lan's exaggerated acting skills. He opened his eyes and looked around to find that the total number of people was one less: "Didn't Tenzin be with you two? Why, he was taken away by Yang Jin?"

"He hasn't finished writing the English vocabulary for today, and he is in the room." Zhai Lan said this with gloating.

"Look at you." Jiang Fang laughed, and after confirming that everyone here was his own, he got up with great energy, "Then Xiao Li and Yang Jin went to drink together?"

"If you don't go, he must run very fast." Zhai Lan smiled cunningly.

Xiao Li couldn't hide his liking for his sister. Although he wouldn't be like Zhai Lan's unreliable high school classmate, who wrote chasing people on his face, Li Feimu was still steady and gentle in Jiang Fang's eyes.In contrast, Li Feimu's attitude towards Jiang Fang is a bit elusive, and he seems to be particularly displeased with the hook-ups that he and Yang Jin have known for several years and have continued to this day.

So Jiang Fang was already very calm when Li Feimu regarded him as the number one imaginary enemy on the list.

He poured himself a glass of water, and looked at Zhai Lan: "What is the beauty of a gentleman, learn from this, Xiao Lanlan——If Xiao Li goes with me today, my painstaking efforts will be in vain."

"Don't teach bad people." You Zhen reminded.

Jiang Fangruo didn't hear it: "It's a good thing to get married, and I think Xiao Li didn't just look at it on a whim. He probably liked Yang Jin a long time ago. Why don't we help?"

"Well, especially we helped him keep Tenzin." Zhai Lan nodded, "A perfect world for two."

"If you want to catch up with my sister, you must buy us a drink."

"Yes, drink."

Then the two crouching dragon and phoenix chicks looked at each other and smiled.

You Zhen: "...I have goosebumps."

The two people who together could not hold more than three glasses of alcohol spoke boldly, and Zhai Lan was full of gossip until that day before going to bed, lying on the bed, holding his mobile phone with a serious expression.

The room layout of the hotel has Dali's characteristic ethnic style. The big bed room is different from other places. There is actually one side that is completely attached to the wall and can only go up from two directions.Zhai Lan leaned against the edge of the bed, leaving no room for You Zhen.He was so obsessed with finding Li Feimu to inquire about the situation that he didn't even hear You Zhen coming out of the shower.

The side of the bed collapsed slightly, and You Zhen sat beside him: "Move a bit, or I will sleep on you later."

"Ah, annoying." Zhai Lan complained, but she still obediently turned around and turned inside out.

The hair has just been blown to half-dry, the ends are wet, and there is a fragrance of lemongrass when you get close.You Zhen grabbed Zhai Lan's shoulders, rested his chin on his neck, and kissed the corner of his mouth first: "Hey, what are you looking at?"

Zhai Lan was ineffective in resisting this nickname that sounds disgusting at first, and he has gradually gotten used to it.

He turned his head—his eyes were still glued to the phone screen—and kissed Youzhen, and then slowly replied: "Li Feimu went back to the hotel, Brother Jiang Fang is asking him if he has made any major progress today, um... chat with me on WeChat Well, Sister Yang Jin seems to have sent him a good person card, and now she is doubting her life."

"Not surprising." You Zhen was not very interested in the gossip they were concerned about, and commented, "He and Yang Jin are a bit older."

When Zhai Lan heard this, she put down her phone, turned around and hugged You Zhen's waist, and turned towards him without hesitation.

Acting like a baby was too sudden, You Zhen was caught off guard, his heart almost softened into a puddle of sugar water, he hugged Zhai Lan, and then inexplicably came back to his senses: "Ah, I don't mean the age difference between me and you..."

"You're an immature ghost." Zhai Lan said in a muffled voice, but the ending sound floated up gently, "Isn't that right, you Zhen, a male college student?"

"Well, I'm a childish ghost." You Zhen replied, unable to hide his smile, but soon became serious, "Yang Jin is different from me, she has always been very independent, sometimes even too strong. Teacher Li ...Your brother, I don't know much about it, but it seems that he didn't want to hide behind the big woman and be willing to be a green leaf."

"I don't know." Zhai Lan said, "I was still in college when Li Feimu broke up last time. I just remember that he wasn't very sad."

"That's why I haven't met anyone I particularly like."

Zhai Lan was thoughtful: "Like you?"

You Zhen almost put his own routine into it: "If you talk about others, you will talk about others, and you will be dragged?"

"Well, yes, someone won't be sad or sad if they don't meet someone they particularly like, and they won't take the initiative to confess the next time they meet... Unlike me, who said 'I love you' so many times."

I have never seen this kind of talk about other people's love life, and always turn corners to praise myself accurately. You Zhen was so teased by him that he just wanted to hug him tighter, and put his palm on Zhai Lan's back, and slid down.He went around to the front and grabbed his hand, and sent it upwards, holding on to his fingertips all the time, staring at him deeply in the warm light.

"Who do you love so much?" he asked, speaking vaguely, "I don't understand what charades you're playing at this time."

Zhai Lan only arched into his arms obediently, her fluffy and soft hair rubbed against You Zhen's chin, a little itchy.

What is more itchy is the heart.

"Our plan for tomorrow is to sleep until we wake up naturally, right?" You Zhen asked, his eyes half closed, and the tip of his nose slipped from Zhai Lan's ears all the way to his collarbone.

Zhai Lan said "Yes" in a low voice for a long while, and raised her waist towards him.
