25 hour

Chapter 39 Ch39

Qin Zheng woke up at 27:[-] am in the bright daylight.

He knew before coming to Iceland that summer here is unique, but it can also be tough at times.

Although from a geographical point of view, Reykjavik, whose latitude has not yet entered the Arctic Circle, should not have polar day and polar night phenomena, but due to the scattering effect of the atmosphere, in Iceland in summer, not only the dusk after sunset is briefly connected with the dawn before sunrise , the sky still looks always bright.

Excessive exposure to sunlight will confuse the body and make it hard to tell when it should enter a dormant state. Insomnia is a common occurrence, and long-term insomnia brings a double burden on the body and mind.In order to try to maintain a normal routine, almost every household needs to install thick blackout curtains-but despite this, as long as the sky clears, Reykjavik at two o'clock in the morning is always as lively as in the afternoon.

People go out in the early hours of the morning just to drive an hour to the beach to watch the sunrise when they can't sleep.

Chaotic, romantic, eccentric, crazy, lifeless, and everyday.

Yesterday’s dark clouds were blown away by the strong wind at some point. The curtains in the living room of the apartment were not as good as the blackout in the bedroom. The bright sunlight fell through the gaps in the curtains onto Qin Zheng’s fingertips and eyelids. Amid the loud humming of the bottle, he half-closed his eyes and opened his eyes. He first saw the slightly swaying curtain in front of the open window, and then saw the whole row of burnt candles on the window sill behind the curtain.

They melted into various postures, with strange shapes and colors.

Qin Zheng lay on the carpet covered with pillows, blinking his eyes trying to recognize the original appearance of these candles, but what followed was the return of broken memories one by one in his mind.

A few hours ago, the sentence of someone sitting on a chair by the window and thinking about it was replaying in his ears paragraph by paragraph.

——"Do you like to watch literary films? I liked it for a while. Some of those films have a lot of narration and lines, but most of them still have silent protagonists. But to be honest, I I think it’s just another way of talking about it. Later? Sometimes I will watch it, but later I think that most of the ideas of human beings are meaningless, and nature and the universe without human beings are more interesting.”

——"Two days ago, a film crew was shooting a movie in front of my house. People passing by were not interested, and they didn't even bother to take a look. When I went out, I passed by a passerby who I thought was familiar. I remembered it at night and searched it. Only then did I find out that he was indeed a celebrity from Hollywood. It was amazing. In a city like Vienna where new events are happening all the time, it’s normal for people to express the arrival of a star, but even the local swimming pool reopened. People don’t seem to care about Reykjavik, which makes headlines for a week after opening. It’s closed life, but it’s open.”

——"By the way, have you ever chased after a star? I haven't. But I have thought that if Shen Ning becomes a star, even if she is just a little actor or singer who has been depressed all her life, she should also be in the A small flag in a certain part of history. And somehow, I always feel that if she does go that way, no matter what, she will end up being a truly worshiped and worshiped object by countless people .Maybe I will also admire her. I don’t know. From this point of view, I’m glad she didn’t become a star, and it’s a pity that she didn’t become a star.”

——"I think that human beings seem to be always looking for the truth. Look higher and farther, to study how to reach the universe like an ant studies how to cross the ocean, or put it down a little bit, just study your own life path and Whatever you think about, or even a little bit, just study how to make cocoa cakes... As a rational person, we seem to never be able to live in the world with an empty head-of course, I did not underestimate the difficulty of making cocoa cakes Meaning, I think it's pretty amazing what you can do. Really."

——"Have you heard a saying? It's about the weakness of human nature. The general idea is that when a person pays too much for one thing, then he will feel that this thing must be complete and successful, and when he pays too much for a person If there are too many, he will naturally feel that this person must belong to him. I heard this saying when I was a child, and then I often encourage myself, for fear that I will fall into the trap of human nature. But to be honest, sometimes, this is not reasonable Events that can be avoided. People will not only realize their mistakes after things happen, but many times, I mean even at the moment when things happen, even if they know clearly in their hearts that they are gambling and will eventually Losing the bet, but people still want to be a gambler for a second at that moment, don't they?"

From less than four o'clock in the afternoon on the day of Qin Zheng's 24th birthday to more than four o'clock in the morning, the layout of the living room has undergone several major changes.

After uttering those two confessions or lies that nailed Qin Zheng in place and ushered in half a minute of silence, perhaps Shen Teng, who had quietly lost the authenticity of his words when they met for the first time, walked from Qin Zheng's stiff arms. Zhong slowly withdrew, and picked up the cactus that fell to the ground as if nothing had happened.

Without saying a word, the two retreated to the corners on both sides of the sofa, quietly and silently watched the next long time of the documentary, and then naturally continued with the next one.

The candle by the window was extinguished, and as Qin Zheng promised, he went to light the second "sunset".

It was raining outside the window.

The soundproofing effect of the apartment is acceptable, but they have the windows open. In addition to the sound of rain, you can still hear someone downstairs laughing and telling their companions in English that they forgot to bring their umbrellas. Another person replied in a thankful tone, "This is very good, after all Icelanders love Icelandic sheep more."

Qin Zheng subconsciously covered the ears of his Icelandic sheep when he heard this sentence.

It was darker in the room.

The two people in the room sat on the carpet in the living room without turning on the lights. The snacks and video tapes were pushed aside, and the cocoa cake made by Qin Zheng finally appeared in the middle of the short table.Shen Teng lit the candles, and performed the talent of singing the happy birthday song in the specially selected bgm—by the way, because his language talent is too outstanding, he even asked Qin Zheng which language he wanted to listen to before singing Version.Qin Zheng sang in Icelandic, and after Shen Teng got stuck for the first time, he suggested very naturally: Or is it still his mother tongue?Chinese sounds so nice.

The candle went out again.

The TV screen was still playing images from other CDs, but all of this became their background sound again.

Qin Zheng pulled out two armchairs from the corner and put them in front of the window. The candles were lit again, and they sat side by side wrapped in blankets.

Shen Teng's legs were bent, his chin rested on his knees, and he wrapped himself tightly in a blanket.

Qin Zheng leaned on the back of the chair, his legs stretched forward naturally, and the blanket was only put on his shoulders symbolically.

They sat together at the end of the room on the second floor drinking hot cocoa, watching the occasionally lively street scene in the rain, the dark sky that never seemed to really get dark, the cathedral in the distance and the invisible seaside.

The windows are still half open, and the breath is filled with the smell of damp, and the rain sometimes hits their clothes and skin, but no one cares.

They seemed to have forgotten the first two sentences that Shen Teng said at the same time.

Shen Teng suddenly became the "real talker" in his mouth. After talking about the "gambler", he casually suggested that Qin Zheng should change to an apartment on a higher ground next time, so that he could see the whole lake Views of Javik.

Qin Zheng didn't tell Shen Tom that he chose this place because he wanted to be close to him, nor did he say that such a house is not easy to find, but after Shen Tom said it, he naturally incorporated what he said into it. Among the options, we will study how to make it come true in the future.

They talked a lot.

Most of the time, Shen Teng was talking alone. Occasionally, Qin Zheng would join in the discussion when he heard relevant topics.

The candles flickered on and off.

Qin Zheng took out the whiskey recommended by the landlord from the refrigerator.

Obviously both of them can drink a lot, but Qin Zheng has already forgotten how they drank from the chairs and returned to the ground, and who opened the closet with a smile, and found the put away coats from every corner of the room, Cotton clothes, pillows, cushions, spread out on the soft carpet, fall, exhausted, head to head, close eyes, and fall asleep before the real sunset arrives.

Chaotic, romantic, eccentric, crazy, lifeless, and everyday.

He thinks he's starting to integrate into Iceland now.

But Shen Teng has disappeared again now.

The eyes opened, closed, and opened again.

Finally, after making sure that he was the only one left in the room, Qin Zheng finally realized what Shen Teng said to him yesterday while sitting on the sofa on his right.

——I like you very much, Qin Zheng.

—Give me a chance, I want to love you.

One of the most wonderful and frightening things in this world may be that one day you will find that unapproachable person that you thought you would miss in this way in your whole life and will never have any intersection and connection again. , No matter how hard you can catch someone, he will say that he is willing to fall in love with you, and proposes to be with you.

But did he really say those words?Could it be that he is still dreaming.

Is it a dream?

He wouldn't have died.

So what is yesterday?Say something nice to coax him before you die?

Qin Zheng sat up from the carpet covered with pillows in his clothes, with his head down, his back arched, and his bare feet stretched forward weakly, like a puma finally exhausted after a long journey.

"Are you awake?" someone asked him.

Qin Zheng didn't seem to hear it, or he thought it was a hallucination when he heard it, until the person asked him again in the same tone, Qin Zheng finally acted like a traveler who was thrown into the ice and snow, and his reaction was slow. He lifted his head up, his out-of-focus eyes gathered together in a trance, and he could vaguely recognize that there was indeed a figure leaning against the door.

It's Shen Teng.

He seemed to have just come back from the kitchen, and then he confirmed Qin Zheng's conjecture by himself.

"I was a little hungry just now, so I got up and ate some cakes. Your craftsmanship is really good."

He was even laughing.

Qin Zheng pinched his forehead with his eyelids down.

He realized that he was distracted, Qin Zheng squinted his eyes, and before he could furrow his brows, he was approached and smoothed with his fingertips.

"You have a cold? Little cat. What a fragile young master."

In fact, it would be fine not to add the last sentence, but he insisted on adding it, as if deliberately annoying others, so that Qin Zheng... so that Qin Zheng could realize the truth of the moment.

He didn't explain what he meant by his actions last night and at this moment, nor did he try to prove to him whether he was sincere with any words. Shen Teng just held Qin Zheng's cheeks that were covered in cold sweat with his eyes tightly closed, and sighed and stuck the sticker on his face. With his scorching forehead, he put his arms around his shoulders, pulling himself back into Qin Zheng's weakened arms more firmly and irresistibly, letting his hair tangle.

Shen Teng just promised the other party in a deep voice: "I am alive, and everything I say is true. Qin Zheng, you are not dreaming."
