Chapter 38 Ch38 Videotape

The touch between his eyebrows melted like a snowflake in an instant, Shen Teng let go of his hands holding Qin Zheng's cheeks, and gently slid his chin with his fingertips to leave like a butterfly flapping its wings.

——and at the moment when he was about to escape from success, Qin Zheng held his wrist and stopped him in the middle.

"How did you find out about my birthday?"

Qin Zheng looked at him stubbornly and asked every word.

It has been four years since they met.Qin Zheng’s birthday hadn’t arrived when we first met in the first year. In the second year, Qin Zheng spent his 22nd birthday in the twilight of starting a business. People wish him a happy birthday, but in fact, it was half a month before the fourth year that Qin Zheng officially told Shen Teng for the first time when his birthday was.

"Is it hard to think?"

Shen Teng was dishonest when being held by someone, his fingertips moved wildly, and playfully tapped Qin Zheng's cheekbones from the air.

"This is the age of the Internet, my dear, and people's privacy is everywhere."

He has too many channels to know Qin Zheng's birthday, but what Qin Zheng is more concerned about is not how he knows it, but why he wants to know it, and why he needs to remember it, right?

Just because he didn't want to face the current situation, last year's Shen Tom was hesitant about whether to go to Los Angeles the next day before receiving the invitation letter.

If his thoughts towards Qin Zheng are completely innocent, then even if he is just a bed partner, Shen Teng can frankly appear outside Qin Zheng's window in surprise on Qin Zheng's birthday, waving a bouquet of flowers in exchange for an unexpected joy happy.

But probably Shen Teng realized a long time ago that every time he lay on the bed and looked at Qin Zheng drunkenly, the beating and accelerating heartbeat in his chest might not only come from the hormones at the moment.

Shen Teng pulled out his hand from Qin Zheng's shackles.

Without asking where did the Traveler he gave him go, and where did this cactus come from as a wonderful gift, Shen Teng casually turned his hands behind his back and walked to the window, tilting his head and glanced at what he could see from the room on the second floor. The street view and the sky, and the gaze naturally falls to the middle of the row of candles placed on the windowsill.

Qin Zheng's apartment is not like his own house, which is a hundred-year-old house with a wooden structure decoration style. Even if he lights a candle, he doesn't have to worry about a torch burning himself down. But it seems that the second young master has never lit a single candle .

In the afternoon in Iceland, the clouds outside the window were gloomy, and the sun couldn’t break through the clouds, and even the sunny interior couldn’t see a little light.

In a trance, his eyes suddenly lit up.

Qin Zheng walked to his side at some point, and generously lit the most beautiful orange-purple candle.

The lighter in his hand, Shen Ma, looked familiar inexplicably, and within a few seconds of thinking about it, he thought of the reason for the familiarity—if the second young master really missed it, then maybe it was three years ago when he borrowed a lighter from him by the road At that time, Qin Zheng threw the Zippo at Shen Teng.

"This candle is very similar to the sunset behind Mount Aisha." Shen Teng commented.

Although it is definitely not possible to see it today, if you go to the beach in the right season and on a clear day, you will be able to see the spectacle of the clouds and clouds at sunset.

"I'm just showing you the sunset." Qin Zheng replied.

Shen Teng blinked again: "Huh?"

Qin Zheng raised his wrist and glanced at the time on the clock, and calmly explained: "It is 15:27 in the afternoon, and the official sunset time is 22:48 in the evening. The burning time of a candle is about one to two hours. Do you want to know How many times can we watch the sunset today?"

Shen Teng laughed: "Are you the little prince? 'One day, I watched the sunset 44 times.'"

He read out the original text of this fairy tale in French, biting the words lingeringly, coaxing people to involuntarily reach out and gently rub the back of Shen Tomato's head (Qin Zheng has always been like this lately).

The young man moved the sunset candle to the middle of the window sill, turned around, walked to the sofa and sat down, turned on the TV with the remote control, and looked back at Shen Teng who was leaning against the window and waiting for him to say something.

Qin Zheng: "My room is slightly larger than the little prince's planet. From now on, I can only see the sunset about four to five times."

Shen Teng: "Don't be short of catties. Calculated based on the rotation period of 1.5 hours, you can see a total of... 24 divided by [-]..."

"Sixteen sunsets." Qin Zheng accepted Shen Teng's mental calculation problem with a light smile.

Primary school students are primary school students, and they are proud to calculate addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division within [-] faster than adults.

Shen Teng took back the ten fingers that had been unconsciously stretched out while counting just now, walked up to Qin Zheng and sat down, and reluctantly put an end to this childish conversation: "Okay, then your room will indeed be bigger than the little prince's." The planet is bigger... 44 divided by sixteen... Well, that's probably what it means. Your room is indeed bigger than B-612. I don't care how much bigger. Don't talk to me about the radius, volume and rotation of the planet. Periodic calculation formulas, I'm not good at science."

The words were all finished by him.

Qin Zheng dismissed the words cooperatively, and shook the remote control in his hand to Shen Teng: "What do you want to watch?"

The primary school students’ birthday party is not as lively as the authentic Second Young Master’s party, and the content is even more lackluster: an Icelandic lamb, a row of candles, a table of snacks, two plates of fruit, two glasses of water, a few boxes of video tapes, waiting to be unpacked in the oven Cocoa cake, these will make up the whole.

Especially those few rented videotapes sound so retro, but compared to directly facing the innumerable choices in the networked TV, these retro videotapes are just spread out on the table for people to choose, and they can immediately In front of people's eyes, he depicted Qin Zheng's earnest appearance standing in a crowded store not long ago, bending down, identifying and selecting one by one.

To be honest, perhaps even Qin Zheng himself did not think that Shen Teng would find this imaginary picture very moving.

Video tapes, game consoles, old basketballs, boys sometimes have a stubborn and childish persistence and childishness. Those who don’t understand will laugh at their old taste, but those who like them can’t help feeling that the one in their eyes He is so romantic and cute.

Shen Teng leaned down in front of the coffee table, studied for a while the video tapes that Qin Zheng had rented, and finally put the tip of his index finger in front of a wildlife documentary, looked up at Qin Zheng: "Let's watch this first. ,May I?"

of course can.

Qin Zheng walked to the TV with the video tape in his hand, carefully took out the disc and put it in an antique DVD player. After a simple operation, the picture magically appeared on the screen.

"Wow." Shen Teng praised cooperatively.

He competed with Shen Yuru in this aspect, both of them, their mother-in-law and grandson, were incapable of understanding all electronic and digital product manuals to the greatest extent.

Obviously, these two people can understand professional books that ordinary people can't read at all, but as long as there is any failure in the electrical appliances at home, they can't do anything other than look at each other and use rock-paper-scissors to decide who should call for maintenance. take more countermeasures.

But even so, Qin Zheng just followed the normal operation to display a movie on the TV, and Shen Teng's response was a bit exaggerated.

The title of the film has already appeared, Qin Zheng put the remote control on the coffee table, walked back to Shen Tom, fished the little lamb doll behind the man back into his arms, and sat down on the doll that Shen Tom was sitting upright, wishing not to touch even a single fluff. The cactus doll was drawn up, and it could not be refused and placed behind Shen Teng.

"This is a gift from a few classmates who started a business with me when they graduated. It has been thrown in the suitcase. Before leaving Jiangcheng, the time is too tight. I didn't pay much attention to what I took out and put in. I always carry the Traveler It’s by my side. It’s in my closet right now. If you’re interested, you can check it out later. In addition, this watch was given by my mother after returning to China. Mine, I didn't wear it because I didn't know if I should, or if you wanted me to wear it - but I figured it out now, before blowing out the candles tonight, if you don't mind, I would Get that watch back."

Is it because he was a tour guide? He was able to say such a long sentence in one breath.

Amidst the elephants singing in the savannah, Shen Teng stared at Qin Zheng for half a minute without moving, then slowly turned his face sideways, stared at the LCD screen without blinking, and read the words like gold. A "good".

Qin Zheng seemed to have said a lot just now, but to sum it up, he seemed to have only said one sentence: From the beginning to the end, there is only you here and no one else.

As for this, what Shen Teng can reply is still only a "yes".

However, Qin Zheng, who has a different understanding of "sincerity", doesn't seem to care about Shen Teng's simplicity at the moment.

Sensing that the people around him finally relaxed their nerves and leaned their bodies against the cactus that finally came in handy, Qin Zheng could not help but associate Shen Teng himself with this plant that has no thorns at all and can only show its teeth and claws. .

He couldn't hold back a smile, and Shen Teng noticed his smile, turned his face sideways, raised half of his eyebrows slightly, and wrinkled his nose at him in annoyance.

Qin Zheng coughed lightly, raised his eyebrows at the documentary that the two of them had neglected for a long time, and tried his best to suggest calmly: "Do you need to start over?"

"No..." But I really didn't pay much attention to it just now.

Shen Teng, who has a serious obsessive-compulsive disorder in watching movies and must not miss a second from the beginning to the end, folded his arms, leaned against the cactus behind him, and raised his chin: "Let's start from the beginning, thank you for your hard work."

When Qin Zheng picked up the remote control, he also took a bag of cocoa-flavored potato chips and handed it to Shen Teng.

"Happy to help you," he said.

Rewind to the title.

A puma with cold eyes came out slowly from the bushes, and the narrator introduced her name in a low-pitched symphony as "Living Rock" and lived in the foothills of the Southern Patagonian Ice Field in South America.

The picture on the screen is similar to Iceland but not completely similar to the cloudy sky, snow-capped mountains, large lakes, bare land and uninhabited habitat. The cactus shrank itself into the corner of the sofa.

In fact, they rarely watch anything together.

Except for the Indian totem pole exhibition at the Metropolitan Museum and the blue whale documentary in Buenos Aires, other programs basically only appear as background music for their entertainment.

Qin Zheng fell in love with this documentary at the first sight in the store yesterday. Although he carefully selected several other films of different genres, he still liked this one the most. Facts have proved that Shen Toma really has a soft spot for wild animals.

In the clean room, besides myself, there was another person's breath for the first time.

Although Qin Zheng could only see the pair of beautiful hands embracing the cactus, this seemed to be rare in his life. He sat with someone just to watch a movie together without any purpose.

Maybe he shouldn't just be a luthier.

Across the cactus, which appeared so large for the first time, Qin Zheng sat on the other side of the sofa with his chin in his hands, and suddenly this idea came to his mind.

Shen Tom is too free.

Although this freedom has now become the culprit of exploiting Shen Tom's vitality, in Qin Zheng's eyes, his freedom is still extremely moving.

This freedom is not only reflected in Shen Teng's actions and expressions, Shen Teng is almost composed of all the ingredients that make up freedom.No concrete description can describe the tone in his eyes. He is like a gust of wind blowing from the ancient times, as if he has explored the deepest mysteries of the universe long ago, and realized that life is nothing but a tiny speck covering the edge of this vast galaxy. There is a layer of soft things on the surface of the blue planet. Regarding the history and civilization of mankind, he can always look at everything with calm and compassionate eyes.

Almost from the very beginning, Shen Teng never cared about anyone else's eyes. He acted presumptuously, and he was his own criterion. No one could easily shake his life trajectory, because to him, people were nothing.

There is nothing in this world that Shen Tom really cared about, so he became a free man who is good at freedom in the true sense——Shen Tom seemed to be the first to realize this before everyone else, and immediately after that without hesitation Determined to go on an adventure of his own.

People always seem to yearn for what they don't have. In this regard, Qin Zheng really yearns for Shen Tom, and after countless times of thinking, he is finally willing to fulfill Shen Tom.

But he didn't know that yearning sometimes goes both ways.

When the cougar on the screen was walking alone on the snowy field, Shen Teng leaned his head on the cactus, but his thoughts turned involuntarily to the person on the other end of the sofa.

Many times, Shen Teng would think that Qin Zheng was like a big cat, mysterious, powerful, and beautiful, and it could take root and grow into a towering tree wherever it landed.

On the road of life, most people in the world generally move steadily along the track delineated by the world for a period of time, and then suddenly walk on the wasteland after the track breaks at a certain moment, or follow a certain path in confusion or firmly. The direction continues to stop and go.Exam scores are no longer the grading criteria that determine your life. From now on, you can only walk your own way. No one can judge you with a uniform standard. Everything before is in the past, and you will always be able to Compare yourself to your former self.You can screw up a lot of things and you can achieve a lot of things, and the bad news is that it's all up to you, and the good news is that it's all up to you - it takes a long time for a lot of people to accept that, but Qin Zheng seemed to be standing on that endless plain from the very beginning.

For most people, there is no way to look around, but for him, he can walk in all directions.

Qin Zheng is sensitive to numbers. He was professional when he was a volunteer in Zambia. When he first came to Northern Europe, which he had never visited before, he could quickly understand all the customs and customs here.

He can always accomplish one specific thing after another, but Shen Teng can't do this by himself.

In these years, he wandered around, lived in no fixed place, and dared to walk at night. Everyone envied his freedom, but at certain moments, Shen Teng was actually surprisingly weak.

He is used to wrapping himself in an inseparable coat, and he believes that as long as there are no rules and regulations, he can keep his freedom and feelings fresh. This wonderful life is due to Shen Tom's talent and luck, and he accepts all the gifts from fate frankly. , but when the beautiful days are stacked into a thick spine, it turns out that he will also notice the deeper self-lost step by step in the new scenery day after day.

When the appearance at the end of his life changed from blurred to a meaningless gray, he no longer knew what else he could do.

The moment she decided to die, Shen Teng couldn't help but heaved a sigh of relief.

He once read in a science fiction novel that people who have broken through the four-dimensional picture will definitely suffer from claustrophobia when they return to the three-dimensional coordinates again. The truth and emotions that I have heard from others and that I have acquired through practice.

It is not easy for a person to live forever. It is a miracle that we can be born in this world as a life, and we should cherish it. However, does the world itself really have meaning?

Before returning to Budapest with Qin Zheng, Shen Teng had been in this chaotic state where he felt that "everything has lost its meaning". Only death is the only well-defined future.

Obviously, they have already decided to leave.

But Qin Zheng insisted on giving him a hand.

It was the first time three years ago on the grasslands of Zambia, and now it is coming again.

Before arriving in Iceland, Qin Zheng's patience melted the sugar coating on Shen Teng's body to pieces.

Shen Tom is still free, and his whole life will belong to freedom.

But Shen Yuru was right, he had concerns and weaknesses.

This journey to Iceland was the last journey of his eternal exile, but he, who still can't see the future, is letting a person gradually transform himself into a mortal.

This is really bad.

This is really wonderful.

Like a dream, he knew that he would wake up in the near future, but he couldn't help but indulge himself in it again and again.

"Are you asleep?" Qin Zheng asked him softly.

Shen Teng opened his eyes and replied quietly: "No."

Qin Zheng seemed to laugh, and Shen Teng curled up his lips and smiled too.

"There is a sentence, I have thought about it for a long time, and I still want to tell you personally."

The "sunset sun" on the window sill burned halfway through the cloudy background, and Qin Zheng's voice gradually became hoarse, but the tone never became lower or weaker.

At some point, Shen Teng also sat up from the corner of the slumped sofa.

The cactus is between the two of them, dividing the room and the snow field on the screen into two halves. They listen to each other's voices, as if they are listening to an incoming call from another time and space.

Qin Zheng held his Icelandic lamb and spoke clearly and earnestly: "I like you very much, Shen Teng, do you know that?"

I like you very much.

It's not the liking you subconsciously denied when you first confessed in Budapest, nor is it the illusory superficial affection that can be changed at any time.

I like you for a long time.

The specific beginning may be traced back to the first time we met, I used impatience and sneer to cover up the love at first sight, and then I met, parted, and fell again and again, just accelerating, deepening, and intensifying my fall into this film called "" Shen thatch "to the extent of the Aral Sea.

I like you very much, you know?

"I know." Shen Teng replied him.

All the time, all the time.

It was like finally opening a window that had been closed for a long time.

Qin Zheng stretched his brows and eyes, and heaved a sigh of relief: "It's good that you know."

Then he will...

"Is that all?" Shen Teng interrupted him.

Qin Zheng turned his head and found in a daze that the cactus had fallen to the ground at some point, and Shen Teng was looking at him with a strange combination of tranquility and sly smile on his face.

"I thought you would be more greedy." Shen Teng said.

"You can be more greedy." Shen Teng said again.

But Qin Zheng even wondered if he was hallucinating just now.

What a fool.

In the first two-thirds of the room where the setting sun was burning, Shen Teng crossed the national border of the cactus, replaced the Icelandic lamb, and took the initiative to snuggle into Qin Zheng's arms.

"Take another deposit from the wish bank and give it to me."

He whispered words clearly in Qin Zheng's ear to ensure that the other party could understand him correctly and in a timely manner.

"I like you very much, Qin Zheng." Shen Teng said softly.

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