Tropical Highway

Chapter 46

The secret of the couple's profile picture was not discovered at the beginning. Early in the morning, after Zhai Lan and You Zhen went to the vegetable market to buy back the vegetables and meat to be used that day, You Zhen received the first surprise on WeChat. .

"Yang Jin asked me why I used Boss You as my avatar...she seems to have missed the point." You Zhen stood in the kitchen packing up the ingredients, and casually threw the phone to Zhai Lan for safekeeping.

Zhai Lan didn't understand: "Why, can't you use Boss You?"

"Because everyone knows that I love and hate that fat cat, and I often hate more than I love." You Zhen cracked an egg and was about to start preparing potato and crab meat salad sandwiches. He became talkative again, and the unnatural moment passed Afterwards, as if the two channels of Ren and Du were opened up, I couldn't wait to share all the known past and look forward to the future with Zhai Lan.

Sure enough, Boss You aroused the interest of one of his kind: "Why?"

"The temper is so weird, I can't tell whether it loves me or hates me." You Zhen said, his hands kept moving, "I ignored it when I wanted to play with it, and then it was cold one day, and I didn't look for it all day. When I got home at night, in order to vent my anger, I parkoured on me in the middle of the night...Yang Jin said that he might want to attract attention."

Having already experienced Boss You's weird temper, Zhai Lan took it for granted: "Yes, it bit me before, but recently it has been nice to me again, petting and hugging, but it still doesn't eat the cat food I feed it."

You Zhen: "...don't pay attention to it."

"Seriously, I still want to know why you 'like'."

A few seconds ago, they were talking about the cat's strange temper, when the topic suddenly changed, and Zhai Lan suddenly brought up this matter.Instead of being calm, You Zhen's ears turned red as soon as he revealed his instinct in the next second.

The flush has a tendency to spread to the cheeks, but fortunately, the kitchen is warmly lit, so it may not be so obvious.

You Zhen wanted to hide most of it with a glass filled with ice cubes: "Why do you like...is it a very important condition?"

"Not really, but I just want to know."

The enthusiasm and directness of young people is hard to resist. You Zhen has been emotionally passive for too long, and the moment he likes the original idea that no one will take the initiative to confess, and then writes the beginning of the note for Zhai Lan, it will come to an end.Saying the first sentence "I like you" and "Let's have a good time together", the others are not as difficult as he thought in the past.

"Just... I can't remember when it started, maybe I felt a similar feeling after leaving Lin Zhi."

Zhai Lan's pupils contracted slightly.

Earlier than he guessed.

You Zhen didn't notice the subtle change in his expression, lowered his head, and the intensity of stirring the stuffing deepened and then eased, to cover up his embarrassment:

"It's not that I have never been confessed before, and I also thought that it is not a big deal to talk about it if it is appropriate, but I always feel that it is not good enough. Is it not beautiful enough, is the personality not gentle enough? Ever since I got enlightened in a daze, in fact, I have never known myself. What should my ideal type look like? When I was your age, I thought I might like an older man."

"……what."

"Mature, caring people, don't you think so often? A rough outline is empty inside, and it can't be filled until you meet a specific object."

Zhai Lan was thoughtful, and said for a while, "Yes."

Just like before he met You Zhen, if there were no accidents at home, he couldn't describe what kind of person he wanted to be with for a long time in the future.

So follow the trend and make up a virtual perfect image, as if in this way, you can barely get close to the relatively "non-mainstream" team and be more in line with the public's perception.

"But I didn't have any feelings with anyone. Until then, when I boarded the plane at Nyingchi Airport, I saw the distance between us changed from one kilometer to 15 kilometers. I suddenly thought, would it be thousands of miles away when I got off the plane... At that time I'm a little sad." You Zhen said, the corners of his eyes drooping gently, "On the flight back to Chengdu, I saw Namjagbarwa and many snow-capped mountains, but those beautiful scenery suddenly became unattractive, and my mind was full of, 'Why him'."

"...It sounds like you disliked me at first."

"When we first met, I really regarded you as my younger brother." You Zhen said, "But I don't feel that way about my younger brother, I can't sleep, and I want to share all the things I like with you."

"What do you feel?"

As he spoke, his heartbeat accelerated again, as if he was running in the boundless wilderness.

You Zhen replied: "Before I said 'goodbye', I started to feel sad. I would be very flustered if I didn't see you. When I saw you, I didn't even say 'Hello', and I couldn't help thinking about when we will see you next time."

Want to see each other every day.

I want to be the first to say good morning and the last to say good night every day.

"The answer is over." You Zhen tilted his head and smiled a little badly, "Xueba, how much do you give me?"

"Full marks, give my eyes full marks too, my boyfriend is so handsome." Zhai Lan pursed his lips, but a smile crept up the corners of his brows and eyes, and he flipped through his phone in satisfaction.

"What are you looking at?"

"These two photos are really cute."

In the chat box, from his point of view, there were exactly two expressions of Boss You looking at each other.Switching to Youzhen's mobile phone will become like a back-to-back posture, which is very meaningful anyway.

You Zhen caught Zhai Lan's smile, and said in hindsight, "I don't know who said 'childish' and 'don't' a few days ago."

Zhai Lan beat someone from the air: "Is it still possible?"

"Enough is enough..." You Zhen smiled, holding a large bowl for mixing sandwiches, "pass me the bread."

Then her boyfriend came over with the bread, Zhai Lan unpacked it, took a spoon and together with You Zhen stuffed the stuffing into the bread and wrapped it in plastic wrap.Put it in the refrigerator, and the last step was completed, You Zhen poured him a glass of passion fruit soda, and rubbed Zhai Lan's hair with his hands.

Now there is no need for any reason, and no psychological burden, just because looking at him is cute.

"Your hair is so soft." You Zhen continued to rub it until it made Zhai Lan's hair explode.

The appearance of the young man bowing his body to get rid of the claws coincided with the yin and yang strange cow cat for no reason. You Zhen felt that they resembled them not long ago, and he became more and more sure of his judgment. He wanted to stop the movement of grabbing Zhai Lan, and he almost fell down laughing on the spot. up.

Zhai Lan was puzzled: "Are you really weird today?"

"I've been the same every day since I fell in love with you." You Zhen wiped the physical tears from the corners of his eyes, "It's strange, it should be that you really have a filter for me."

Zhai Lan thought for a while and found that he couldn't refute.

Youzhen in his heart is a near-perfect person with money and leisure, unique hobbies, playing the guitar, making coffee latte art—although he has only gradually mastered it recently—raising cats, opening a shop, and Like-minded friends.He would go to Lhasa alone for his friend's younger brother, and he would show the strangers he met during the trip to see the stars and snow-capped mountains.

It seems that You Zhen should be the envy of many people, but the small flaws in his character always break the illusion of perfection and add a bit of vividness to him.

Childishness is an insignificant shortcoming, although sometimes it really surprises him.

Zhai Lan didn't make any excuses, just glared at You Zhen, left a sentence "I don't fall in love with elementary school students", and then leisurely lifted the curtain of "No entry unless you are allowed" and walked out of the kitchen.

"Tenzin is a primary school student!" Someone argued.

Zhai Lan dragged his voice: "Can't hear—"

Outside the door, Xiao Yu was diligently cleaning and preparing to open the store to welcome guests. Seeing Zhai Lan come out, the girl heard the last few words of their conversation, and couldn't help joking: "You only look like a primary school student in front of the person you like! Forgive him. "

"Sometimes it feels like all his years older than me have been eaten by air."

In the kitchen, You Zhen was not to be outdone: "You can treat me as a 20-year-old male college student!"

"Cook your meal!" Zhai Lan yelled at him, "It's a good idea!"

After saying that, Zhai Lan sighed exaggeratedly when he met Shang Xiaoyu's confused and relieved eyes.He straightened the table as if nothing had happened, then picked up Boss You and rubbed his belly.

The cow cat protested, but Zhai Lan grabbed the back of the neck with one hand.

Youzhen could faintly hum a song in the kitchen, and Zhai Lan couldn't make out which song he was singing after listening to it for a while.Running to the cashier, the computer was already turned on, and Zhai Lan saw that the music software was registered with You Zhen's account.

Sneak away, find out the playlist called "Green Wind", and play it in order from the first one.

The clear guitar solo echoed in the log-style coffee shop, Xiao Yu raised his head and smiled knowingly.She pushed open the door and hung the wooden sign "Open for business". A string of bright wind chimes added the low melody appropriately, as if adding a touch of liveliness to the music.

Zhai Lan helped carry the cushions to the outer terrace. Recently, two outdoor booths had to be reduced due to the construction of street civilization that does not allow parasols. However, the weather is getting hotter and hotter. The steps near the French windows can blow the air conditioner, and it has become the most popular. place.

"Zhai Lan, drink a glass of water!" Xiao Yu held a glass and leaned against the door, mysteriously, "Brother You asked me to give it to you."

Ordinary lime water, a little sour, Zhai Lan took a sip.

After nine o'clock, the rising sun casts a layer of warm yellow on the streetscape.The camphor tree is the most luxuriant season of the year, but due to the lack of rain for several days, the tip of the leaves are slightly dyed and withered, and they are even more luminous when they are illuminated by the sun.

Zhai Lan held the glass in both hands, stood at the door of "Holiday" and looked around.

The Xinjiang Dapan Chicken on the other side of the street was not open yet, so he thought about whether he would go to his house for lunch at noon and Youzhen, and the hand-picked rice was also a first-class delicacy.Going forward, turning the fork in the road is a community, the alley is covered with Qilixiang, and several gray-haired old people are taking pictures of the little flowers.

After a brief trance, he was awakened by a scent from the tip of his nose.

Not far away, an old woman sat on the side of the street with two baskets of gardenias hung.She took out a payment code, put it in front of the bamboo basket, and then calmly waited for someone to ask.

The gardenias in the basket were bundled into bouquets, most of which were in bud, and only two or three bloomed towards the sun with their calyxes supported.

It's windy and cool right now, but the sun gets hot after 10 o'clock.At that time, there will not be enough shade in that place, and there will be people patrolling the streets, so it is not a good place to sell flowers.

On a whim, Zhai Lan ran into the shop and asked You Zhen, "Where's the leftover money from your grocery shopping this morning?"

"The bar drawer." You Zhen asked, "What's wrong?"

Zhai Lan just smiled mysteriously, and finally grabbed a handful of money from the drawer and hurried out.

You Zhen shook his head and let him go.

The first batch of customers arrived at the store around 10 o'clock. Sandwiches and cakes were prepared in advance. Xiao Yu went into the kitchen to help him with the remaining baked desserts, and Chang Zhen went to the bar to make coffee and drinks.

Going around the long table, You Zhen instinctively reached out to prepare a coffee cup, but his movements stopped suddenly.

Beside the cup holder, at some point, there was a small vase that was originally on a certain table. The water was filled to 1/3, and the narrow mouth of the bottle faced him, piled up a large bunch of gardenias.

The buds are just blooming, the pure white color is subtle and moving, but the fragrance is so powerful that he dare not ignore it.

There was a note on the vase, and You Zhen picked it up with downcast eyes.

A certain person's handwriting is much more beautiful than his, sharp and powerful, and copied a classic description of Wang Zengqi.In the end, I probably felt that there were too many blank spaces, as if I had to fill the answer sheet almost completely in the test paper, so I improvised for a while.

You Zhen looked at it, and suddenly laughed out loud.

"My mother-in-law can go home after selling flowers, so I bought them all, and put one or two flowers on each table, and the store is really fragrant. There is still a small handful and I have no place to put it. I plan to go to Sister Yang Jin for one The vase will be left at your house. About half an hour later, she said she would make me a honey milk highland latte.

"Although you use your money to buy flowers, I think your heart is the most important (I don't accept rebuttals."

"PS: kissskiss!"
