Chapter 56 Ch54 Colonists

There are five moles on Shen Teng's body.

The first tear mole grows under the end of the left eye.

The second shoulder mole grows on the right side of the neck and tail near the butterfly bone.

The third rib mole grows in the place where the legendary Eve was born.

The fourth buttock mole grows on the inner narrow corner of the thigh root.

The fifth foot nevus, which grows on the inner side of the right thumb.

The skin is the largest organ in the human body. Moles are the most common benign skin tumors in humans. The number can be single, several or even dozens, and it will change at different ages. The moles on 27-year-old Shen Teng are In the mountain hut in no man's land, Qin Zheng stroked with his thumb, counting them one by one.

After blowing out Shen Teng's birthday candle that day, they didn't go straight to the return journey, but continued to move forward as if they suddenly abandoned everything.

Even though it has entered midsummer in July, the weather in Iceland is still as cruel and changeable as its landforms. Along the way, Qin Zheng and Shen Teng were blocked more than once by violent storms, complicated road conditions and rising river water levels, but they also So after the sunset and the rain stopped, I saw the charming midnight sun on the wilderness, and in the eyes of the survivors after crossing the river, I felt the power of "survive together" in Qin Zheng's mouth.

They also had to call for help because the tires were deep in the snow, but after being dragged out of the barren land, the two saw the vibrant green forest and the endless sea of ​​Lupine flowers.The twelve rainbows on the vast land were clearly visible. Shen Teng sat on the roof of the car and pointed at the local storm in the distance, marveling, while Qin Zheng called out from under the car, and he returned to his senses and jumped into the young master's arms with a smile, The destination of the next snow mountain planned by the other party nodded repeatedly, expressing the highest sincerity of loyalty by presenting a kiss.

Between the misty valleys, they were looking for the mysterious sound of water. On the edge of the cliff, they saw a waterfall that was no less spectacular than Celialand pouring out from their feet and rushing into the distance. The call to "jump down" was deafening, but Shen Teng raised the corners of his lips in the never-ending temptation, turned around, and met Qin Zheng in this world where there were really only the two of them left. Hug hard.

In that sea of ​​Lubing flowers, they even encountered a wedding by chance.

The guests who came and went were all sitting on the benches in the open air. Judging from everyone's high spirits, it is estimated that most of them were travelers who passed by to send sincere blessings to strange lovers like Shen Teng and Qin Zheng.

At two o'clock in the afternoon, the weather in Iceland was rare, the sun was shining brightly, and the summer breeze was refreshing. The bride and groom had already taken their seats among the flowers, but the pastor arrived late, but soon, accompanied by the sound of a loud engine, As everyone looked at each other, a bearded man in a leather jacket took off his sunglasses and walked over from the motorcycle that had just stopped.What was even more unexpected was that he then put on the priest's white robe and stood between the two newcomers and began to chant the hymn.

This is so fucking cool.

"I think of a few poems." Shen Teng closed his eyes and said among the Lu Bing flowers.

"What?" Qin Zheng asked him.

"We have no idea where wearing is going. You have no idea where I come from..."

His voice was getting softer, but Qin Zheng answered it tacitly: "But I will carry you. You will carry me."

Shen Teng smiled and opened his eyes, and saw the wine glass raised by the protagonist of the wedding to everyone.In Shen Tomo's deep smile, the coolest pastor he had ever seen also walked towards them.

"Do you need me to take another temporary order to witness a wedding for you?" the other party asked.

Wow.Shen Teng turned his head unexpectedly and looked at Qin Zheng who was also surprised for two seconds. After pondering, they held each other's five fingers, smiled and shook their heads.

No need, they have already witnessed the world.

Mr. Pastor tore off his white robe regretfully, then laughed out loud again, stroked his platinum-toned flowing hair, and narrowly blinked at the two of them—for half a second, Shen Teng even I feel that the driver who threw a metaphor at Qin Zheng on the way to Qin Zheng's graduation ceremony a year ago appeared again.

But maybe they are all the incarnations of Cupid in the world.

"There is a rather offensive question, but I have been curious for a long time. Gentlemen, it is obvious that men are destructive colonists, but how do you two balance?"

How is it balanced?I never thought about this issue, but they seem to have sat on both ends of the balance from the very beginning. in balance.

Just like this time, they also simultaneously thought of the only answer.

"We colonized each other," they said, looking at themselves in each other's smiling eyes.

This was an unwitnessed wedding that only belonged to the two of them. Qin Zheng and Shen Teng sat in the sea of ​​Lu Bing flowers, and there was no one else in their eyes except each other.

At the same time, the star called the sun above their heads is revolving around the center of the Milky Way, and the Milky Way, the M31 galaxy, and even the entire visible universe are revolving around a more magnificent existence.These stars and the universe that had fascinated Qin Zheng are running continuously, but they seem to be the only two beings that are still.

It seems that it is okay to sit like this forever until the end of time, but before the wedding, Shen Teng whispered in His Majesty's ear like he said "let's go" to Qin Zheng in a Budapest cafe. Said: "Let's go back."

He has already seen what he imagined the end of his life should look like, even though he still only glimpsed the tip of the iceberg, Shen Teng no longer feels regretful.On the road to freedom, he was stained with red dust for three thousand, and his mortal body took root in this land that was originally defined as "accidental existence", and it was too heavy to fly.

But he began to find this clumsiness wonderful.

"it is good."

As in the past, Qin Zheng took his hand and exhaled softly, calmly and firmly agreed to all Shen Teng's requests time and time again.

And on the last night when he was about to return, in the quiet air of the mountain hut, Shen Teng trembled and trembled, and he found the time and time again that he lived on Route 66, Zambia, Barcelona, ​​Buenos Aires, Jiangcheng, Budapest... and when he was in Iceland, he fell in love with Qin Zheng again and again.

"Love".

Shen Teng, who learned this word, seemed to suddenly become different, but the change was very subtle and hard to describe.Before this, the lust between Qin Zheng and Shen Teng was always strong and calm. Even though their eyes were stained with drunkenness, they both knew each other clearly in the heart of the lingering relationship. This was most likely their last love. meet once.

But this time is different.

In layman's terms, they finally got each other.

How amazing, the period of passionate love belonging to the two of them that they thought they would never visit has come.

"I've always been in love." Qin Zheng said lightly.

Shen Teng coughed lightly, and kissed his chin fawningly: "I am slowly heating up, and I am heating up, heating up..."

People who don't need to heat up simply turn their backs on customers. Shen Teng struggled and smiled helplessly and was pushed down on the clouds. He closed his eyes. In this belated two-way love, he felt that he saw No in the midnight sun. .13 rainbows rise from the bottom of my heart.

By the way, after returning to Reykjavik, Shen Teng also signed for his real birthday presents besides the cake - a pot of Icelandic mint that Qin Zheng took good care of for two months under the light of the fill light, Postcards from the Elephant Orphanage on a regular basis, the miniature bronze statue of the Sun Voyagers of the Jeffs, the Icelandic sweater woven by the landlady’s wife, and the thick envelopes that Shen Yuru handed over from across the ocean with an unknown number of HUFs stuffed into them.

But what Shen Teng didn't expect was that what made the letter so heavy was not that grandma secretly stuffed him with a lot of pocket money, but because besides Shen Yuru's letter, there was also a cover letter from another friend in the envelope.

An old friend Shen Tom thought he had lost for a long time.

He read the contents of the letter for a long time, and his expression changed several times.The last time Shen Teng was so serious was the letter sent to him by his new friend Shen Sui.

"Why are you laughing?" Qin Zheng, who couldn't understand Hungarian, sat next to him and asked boredly.

Shen Teng regained consciousness from the handwriting on the letter, raised the corners of his lips, and gave a very vivid example with a smile: "If your little boy Jichen drifts away from you after you go abroad, and even slowly loses contact with you, You should feel as sorry for this as I do, but you still choose to accept the fact—but one day after accepting the fact in this way, Ji Chen suddenly asked me to say hello to you, saying that he has never forgotten you, and in fact still I have been silently blessing you, and I believe you will smile like this."

It's a bit hard to imagine that Ji Chen's follower can do such a thing, but it seems that he can't completely substitute.

Qin Zheng came back to his senses thoughtfully, and asked in a steady tone, "And then?"

He didn't believe that such a simple content could make Shen Teng show such a complicated expression, surprised, shocked, seemed to feel something, and finally returned to a calm and soft look.

Shen Teng was even more amused by the young master's meticulous observation. He raised the letter paper in his hand to Qin Zheng amusedly, but his eyes were indescribably gentle: "My friend's brother is married, and the bride is his teenage daughter. My first love was also my first love when I was eight years old—I finally remembered that the older sister was called Zora."

That's really gratifying.

Qin Zheng tilted his head on the table and looked at him: "You look very happy."

"It is true. But besides being happy for her, I am more happy for me."

This answer was somewhat beyond the listener's expectations. Looking at Qin Zheng's confused eyes, Shen Teng smiled and lowered his head to rub His Majesty's nose.

I am very happy that my sister has a good home.

So happy to have you by my side right now, and to be able to feel so happy about it - something that I didn't believe could happen to me when I was eight years old.

Very, very, very happy, at the age of 27, I finally have and accept this happiness.

Qin Zheng blinked. After a long while, he was like the pot of mint he had raised for a long time. Under the light of love, he started from the tip of the brow, to the eyelashes, the color of the pupil, the texture of the facial muscles, and the sides of the lips—step by step Gently stretched out his own smile.

It turns out that when a person wants to laugh in his heart, he even breathes upward.

"What are you laughing at?" Shen Teng asked narrowly, imitating Qin Zheng's appearance at the beginning.

Qin Zheng seemed to have a smile tattooed on his eyes. He wanted to reach out and pinch Shen Teng's cheeks, but the other party took the first step. He first tapped the tip of his nose, then touched his ears, and cupped Qin Zheng's cheeks with both hands, full of emotion. Gently stroked the outline of the young man's brow bone tenderly, then slid down with his fingertips, and finally hung on the collar of Qin Zheng's shirt.

Shen Ma rubbed his fingertips on the old marks on the soft fabric, as if he was a little puzzled, he couldn't help but smiled and asked: "What kind of stain is this? Our young master lived in such a poor life , now you don’t even want to throw away your old clothes?”

"I won't throw it away." Qin Zheng covered his neckline childishly and stepped back, looking very precious.

Shen Teng was so cute that he couldn't bear it, covered his eyes and smiled sullenly: "Why?"

"Because it's a souvenir." Qin Zheng said seriously.

Shen Teng: "To commemorate what?"

Qin Zheng: "A lot."

Commemorating a failure, a growth, and...

"To commemorate the first time you called me." Qin Zheng kissed his fingertips.

The first time Shen Teng called Qin Zheng was two years ago when Qin Zheng was still studying in Los Angeles.

In fact, I don't know if it's him calling, after all, that's not Shen Tom's original intention - at least, Shen Tomao in a sober state would never be able to do such a thing at that time.

But he was drunk.

In the tavern in Lisbon, perhaps the small tram in that European mountain city reminded Shen Tom of his hometown of Budapest. This guy with an unfathomable drinker let the wind of the Tejo River get himself drunk in the afternoon.

And maybe the note he left for someone was too hard to say, the Chinese student who was working as a waiter in the tavern stumbled a bit before he asked when Qin Zheng hesitated for a while and finally chose to connect the phone: "Is it Sand?" Sir?"

Qin Zheng was rarely speechless, and that was a very impressive time.

The person on the other end of the call thought that Shen Teng had a companion and that the companion was Qin Zheng, who was thousands of miles away. The reason was that the tourist had been cursing before he lost consciousness, and when the waiter came over, his mobile phone hadn’t turned off yet. The screen stopped at the page of the address book belonging to the "tsar".

What is he cursing?

Compared to this, Shen Teng would still curse?

On the phone, Qin Zheng listened to the waiter's emphatic description of Shen Teng's drunken state to him. Surprisingly, he didn't choose to hang up this meaningless call that would bring no more meaning than wasting time.

Not only that, he even started to imagine Shen Teng's current appearance.

At that time, they had just known each other for more than a year. Apart from the first two "accidental" encounters, the two met and slept several times in Geneva, Porto, and Los Angeles where Qin Zheng was located. The physical harmony has not had time to go deep into the soul level. Even if there is a feeling of heartbeat, it has been silently eliminated countless times in those ultimately fruitless temptations and self-prime defenses, and at the time of parting, they were blindfolded Invariably stuffed into more invisible corners.

But that phone call changed everything.

After Qin Zheng agreed to a generous reward, the waiter safely sent Shen Tom to the nearest safe residence, plugged in the charging cable for the mobile phone, put the device that had not stopped talking by Shen Tom's pillow, and left quietly.

Qin Zheng couldn't remember what he was thinking at that time, maybe he was just wondering what he was doing.This phone call from Shen Teng came without warning, but the truth was extremely nonsensical. The shock and anticipation that surged in Qin Zheng's heart when he saw his note flashing on the screen before connecting finally turned into a wave in the lake. field bubbles.

Yes, he was looking forward to it.

This expectation has been around for a long time. Ever since he decided to go to Zambia, Qin Zheng realized that his emotions towards Shen Teng were too inexplicable and unstable, and the existence of Shen Teng itself was responsible for the "inexplicable" and "unstable". Negative superposition, for the sake of safety, Qin Zheng should probably ignore Shen Teng's temptation from the beginning, but he let this guy's number exist in his mobile phone for so long, and even dialed it tonight.

Before tonight, Qin Zheng's ambiguous feelings were being gradually fogged under the subconscious ambiguity, and even he himself gradually forgot the initial heartbeat, only when they met again and again Mental relaxation, take that guy who can never catch the joke in his eyes as...a butterfly that occasionally lands on his fingertips?

Butterflies are short-lived and always fly away.

Ever since he was a child, Qin Zheng never got what he wanted, and he was used to it. Even though he never really let go of Shen Teng this time, Qin Zheng also subconsciously chose to use his best indifference and ruthlessness to numb his emotions. , Even he himself was almost deceived.

Shen Teng is just a butterfly.

He shouldn't have set off a hurricane in his heart because of the change in the direction of the butterfly's wings.

He should have let the butterfly go free after a short meeting as before.

That night, just when Qin Zheng finished persuading himself and wanted to hang up the late-night call that should have ended long ago, a voice suddenly came from there again, completely without warning.

"Qin Zheng."

The content of Shen Teng's ambiguous sleep talk turned out to be his name.

Qin Zheng was very surprised, and after the accident, even though it was clear that the other party couldn't hear him, Qin Zheng still closed the refrigerator door, and softly said "hmm" to Shen Teng, who was eight hours behind him.

Before that, Qin Zheng had just experienced an ordinary and trivial day.

During the day, he went to attend the entrepreneurial presentations where the team finally got the opportunity, but he was surprisingly unlucky that day. First, he was in a traffic accident and got stuck in a mess and had to get out of the car. Then he ran for four blocks in a hurry and even got a glass The coffee was barely in time for the last few minutes of the appointment, and what was even more silent was that several of the other companions also encountered similar situations as him on the road, and they were one step behind him and still couldn't make it.

The timing waits for no one, so Qin Zheng had no choice but to rush into the huge office at the last minute with the one remaining person, and began to talk about their careers in front of a table of professional investors with arrogance in their eyes. picture.But unfortunately, the first question the other party interrupted was about the companion who failed to arrive here on time. Even if Qin Zheng was familiar with the details of the entire PPT, he still couldn't help it when it came to a certain number in more detail. , a brief silence of two seconds, and finally, under the panic-stricken gaze of his companions, he calmly apologized to the table and told them that he forgot.

A failed speech, but when I walked out of the elevator where people were hurrying, I saw a companion who had just rushed to the lobby with his suit and tie twisted into a ball and his shirt turned up. Qin Zheng just walked over and tilted his head to everyone, and told everyone calmly: +1 experience point, we will fight again next time.

The shirt on his body was still stained, all the laundries on the way home were closed like hell, the laundry detergent at home was gone, and the nearest supermarket was closed due to a power outage, so Qin Zheng walked there like a homeless man. Go further to the commercial street to buy back.Coffee stains are the most difficult to remove among the top ten stubborn stains. Even if you send them to the most upscale dry cleaners and spend a lot of money, you may not be able to guarantee that there will be no traces in the end. It hadn't been washed for 10 minutes, but he still wrung out the shirt, which was still stained with dark stains, and hung it on the balcony.

It sounds like a crushing day, but Qin Zheng's mood is surprisingly peaceful, without any complaints or irritability, just encountering a problem, he tries to solve it, even if the problem still cannot be resolved in the end , he can also continue step by step, and even wanted to laugh a few times in the middle.

The reason why I want to laugh is because Qin Zheng suddenly remembered that once when he was a child, a classmate just passed by and accidentally spilled water on the paper that he had planned to do well, and Qin Zheng became quite angry under the horrified eyes of everyone. He kicked the table, then walked to the trash can alone, threw the test paper into it, and walked away without looking back.

At this moment, Shen Teng's phone call came.

That bastard has grown up, he thought.

And listening to Shen Teng's even breathing on the other end of the call, Qin Zheng couldn't help but smile more openly.

It's hard not to laugh, because he finally realizes that when he grows up, the bastard even has a dream.
