Chapter 24 Ch24 Downtown

The Ritz-Carlton, one of the most beautiful city hotels in Europe, is located in a prime location in the center of Budapest. It is elegant, luxurious and modern. Standing by the 18th-century window of the guest room, you can see St. Stephen's Basilica The Spire and the Albayt Heroes Square that Shen Teng warmly recommended this afternoon.

Compared with the old Buda, which is always up and down, the view here is wider, and it is more suitable for pampered guests.

In fact, on the first day they arrived in Budapest, Shen Teng booked this hotel for Qin Zheng on the train, but the second young master willingly moved his noble body to the old house On a narrow and torn fabric sofa.

"This is for you."

Sitting on the guard stone of the balcony of the suite, which is not too wide, Shen Teng uncorked the bottle of Sal Palace with a smile, and skillfully filled the only wine glass here with a dangerous posture.

"Is this it? Shen Tomajiu."

Citrus, pineapple, honey, with a hint of minerality.

Rather than jumping on the ground to pick up the wine glass, Shen Teng chose to keep his palm on the dangerous stone guardrail, leaned over the wine glass, and gently fluttered his nose.

The wine in Sal Palace is sweet and strong, just get close to it, as if you are entangled in the smoke in Pandora's box, and you close your eyes and fall into the unknown happy garden behind you.

Shen Tomato stuck out his tongue and licked it like a cat, narrowed one eye involuntarily, and quickly blinked the other eye a few times.

"So I am such a sweet existence in your heart?"

"More." Qin Zheng exchanged his answer without thinking in exchange for Shen Ma holding his cheek and gently kissing him.

"What time is it?" Shen Teng asked, grabbing his shoulder.

"I don't know." Qin Zheng answered calmly with his arms around his waist.

When Qin Zheng entered the door just now, he took off his wristwatch and threw it aside without cherishing it, as if he wanted to part ways with him completely.

Shen Teng was amused by his self-deception, and reminded in an unkind way: "The clock tower in Budapest will strike the time at midnight."

It was almost eleven o'clock when they came back from the swimming pool. Even if they were blindfolded and stopped paying attention to the passage of time, the two of them knew well that the twelve o'clock bell would come at any moment, and their "date" "It's almost over.

What a pity, Qin Zheng thought.

Maybe he shouldn't have agreed to go swimming together under Shen Ting's provocation.

The swimming pool of the Ritz-Carlton is located indoors on the roof. Although it is beautifully decorated and there is a skylight above the head where you can see the night sky, it is quite different from the open-air swimming pools that are directly on the roof of the roof or outside the villas that they have been to before. The spaciousness and openness are extremely limited, and besides them, there are other strangers coming in and out from time to time, so the two of them are facing each other wet, without causing too much reverie.

In the precious last few hours, the two of them actually held the wine glasses and looked up to enjoy the sunset together, then lay down by the pool and played chess for a long time.

What a pity, Shen Teng thought.

Originally, he wanted to seize the last chance to play with Qin Zheng again.

It's a pity that he didn't do his homework this time. As a local who came to this most prestigious hotel in Budapest for the first time, he led the second young master to a big bathhouse.Moreover, Qin Zheng's eyes were so upright that Shen Teng was too embarrassed to seduce him.

Today's date was full of oolongs and many regrets. For the first time, Shen Teng arranged all these things, and he still doesn't know whether his goal of making Qin Zheng happy has finally been achieved?

"are you happy?"

Since he couldn't figure it out, Shen Teng took the initiative to ask.But maybe he was a little guilty, his voice was very soft, and it seemed more like a plea for forgiveness than curiosity.

This is really strange, Qin Zheng couldn't help but want to laugh a little, wanted to continue to put on a show, but felt that his expression was really pitiful, even if it was pretended in all likelihood, it really touched Qin Zheng's sympathy heart of.

"Very happy." Qin Zheng rubbed the tip of Shen Toma's nose, and willingly fell into the trap Shen Toma wove for him.

What a fool.

From an angle that Qin Zheng couldn't see, Shen Teng put his chin on the shoulder of the second young master, closed his eyes, and saw the city galaxy that he had just looked up through the skylight on the top of the building before his eyes.

Before the twelve o'clock bell rang, Shen Teng was still restrained by the bond of mortals in the real and visible world, but suddenly he was once again wrapped up in those wild thoughts.

He thought that life is always in motion, and even the stars that seem to be eternal, in fact, always exist in their own journeys.

In the brief gap between our socks, dozens of super-speedy stars are trying to escape the Milky Way in the invisible starry sky, and in tens of thousands of years, even the direction of the Big Dipper will no longer be as "eternal" Truth" is the North Star of existence.

People's journeys are always like this.

We like to use the moon as a comparison of separation and reunion, but in fact every crater on the moon has been or will be longer than human history.

A human life is just a drop in the river of life we ​​share.

All equally small.

Qin Zheng is a fool.

He is another category.

The distant clock tower struck midnight, and the magic suddenly failed. The sweet spell cast on the two of them was like a star ring that was suddenly annihilated in the universe. Gestures surround them.

Qin Zheng, who was afraid that he would fall off the balcony, took a step forward and stretched out his arms, hugged the cooperating Princess Shen Teng into his arms, turned around and walked to the bedroom barefoot.

Shen Teng was quite well-behaved, he just turned around and stretched his arms to catch the wine glass, and then set his eyes on the dim stars in the night sky, without struggling too much.

"Actually, I've always been confused."

When he was carefully placed on the edge of the bed and sat down, Shen Teng's chest rose and fell imperceptibly. He looked at Qin Zheng out of focus, and frowned slightly in confusion: "I have a feeling that you seem to know me. Why go to Iceland, right?"

Qin Zheng looked at him patiently.

"You know why I'm going," Shen Teng said with difficulty, "Then you should also know that I still decided to go to Iceland because the purpose has not changed, right?"

Qin Zheng arched his back slightly, and kissed his long hair, which was as thick as water, like a dragonfly.

"tell him.

Shen Teng's eyelashes trembled slightly: "Why have you never tried to stop me?"

Qin Zheng seems to be saying an old admonition: "When the cause does not disappear, the result will always follow."

He lowered his head, leaned close to Shen Teng and looked up at his face, and said softly: "It's hard to get over the water, I don't want to make any more mistakes."

The breathing was too close, and people couldn't help but feel a tingling electric sensation from the ends of their knuckles, and quickly paralyzed their limbs.

Shen Teng looked at Qin Zheng fascinatedly.

He obviously only drank two drops of wine, but he was soaked in a wine jar and boiled in hot water.

"Do you remember that I told you that the reunion in Zambia was not entirely an accident." Qin Zheng asked him.

Shen Tomato nodded: "I remember. Are you going to tell me?"

Qin Zheng put his palm on the back of his neck, stroked it lightly, and replied in an almost doting tone: "Yes."

Three years ago, they met Lushui on Route 66 without leaving any contact information. After parting ways, Qin Zheng, who returned to China for a small wedding, became the best man without accident.

This is just a love affair with dew, and it will only be a love affair with dew, but Qin Zheng never thought that this drop of dew would burn such an indelible scar on his heart.

In the short few days after the separation, as long as he closed his eyes, he would think of that chaotic night.

Qin Zheng hadn't quit smoking at that time.

In the absence of rest, people will gradually lose their minds. Coffee and tea can keep the IQ at 80.00% of the original level, but smoking can keep it at 90.00%.It's far from being an addiction, Qin Zheng just used it as a refreshing tool all the time.

After that one-night stand, Qin Zheng sat on the window sill with his bare upper body covered with bruises, biting half of a cigarette like that, staring silently at the relationship with him a few hours ago under the light of the orange-red sparks and the glare of the car lights outside the cotton gauze curtains. It's just the seaweed-like hair of a stranger's guy spreading out on the pillow.

Cigarette butts, whiskey, lighters, ties, moans, men's chuckles.

In countless memories, he felt as if he had been drowned in this sea of ​​flames called "Shen Thatch".

Qin Zheng almost thought of taking a picture of him at that time, but fortunately, the cigarettes protected his sanity and prevented Qin Zheng from making such a perverted move.But the fate is so cunning, when Ji Chen pestered him to gossip about the fairy-like bridesmaid from an international volunteer post, Qin Zheng was slightly absent-minded after a long indifferent glance, and threw himself away from the groom. Pulling out the phone from his hand, he flipped back to the group photo that was just slipped by, clicked on it, and zoomed in.

In fact, it was just a silhouette that could be seen clearly, but before the wedding was over, he booked a plane ticket to Zambia for himself without any plan.

My dear, my reunion with you is a plot and a gamble on my whim.

If you can't catch it, why don't you take another look at it?

Ok.

Except for Shen Teng.

Shen Teng suddenly remembered the phone call from Ji Chen yesterday afternoon.

Qin Zheng's post showed a surprising kindness and enthusiasm for "Shen Teng", a name he seemed to have known for a long time. In addition to expressing greetings, he poured out a lot of interesting things about the second young master when he was a child. Finally, on the phone When he was about to hang up, Ji Chen told Shen Teng unclearly: "Qin Zheng will do what you want, so there is no need to teach him."

This sentence Shen Teng has actually heard a similar sentence before, it was Shen Yuru who just told him today: People who love you will always know how to love you.

"My luggage is still at Reykjavik Airport." Qin Zheng said.

"I'm a bit introverted." Qin Zheng seemed to be talking nonsense.

"Would you like to accompany me to pick it up?" Qin Zheng invited him.

"Of course you can go alone, but I think it's better if you go together." Qin Zheng added a suggestion.

"Can you?" Qin Zheng finally asked him.

It was cloudy tonight, except for the city lights in the distance outside the floor-to-ceiling windows, there was also a bit of hazy moonlight shining in, reflecting the shimmering light in Shen Teng's eyes.

Enthusiastic, sinking.

Tonight's Shen Tom, after a long absence, turned into this Shen Tom again.

"Yes." He replied softly.

These two words are about magical.

After he spit out, Qin Zheng, who didn't blink his eyes, slowly looked up and looked around, then looked back slowly as if disconnected and reconnected, and looked at Shen Teng again.

He seemed to be judging whether everything around him was a fiction, and while Shen Teng waited patiently for His Majesty to get the answer, he clearly saw Qin Zheng's Adam's apple hesitating a few times, finally, finally, at the end he couldn't help Gently let out a mouthful of breath that he had been holding back for an unknown amount of time, and his eyes, which were staring at Shen Ma, were filled with layer after layer of indescribable tenderness.

"You made my day, my dearest."

Like countless times in the past, like a dog, Qin Zheng lowered his head and rubbed the tip of his lover's nose.

However, one second before, his movements were as soft as feathers, and the next second, he clasped the back of Shen Ma's head with his palm, slightly closed his knuckles, grabbed Shen Ma's long hair, and kissed him eagerly. up.

For a long time, Shen Teng always liked to quote other people's sentences, but Qin Zheng never.But this time he has lost the ability to organize language, and only Zweig's "Misty Night" emerges in his mind.

"All that had happened so far, the intoxication and trembling of love, the convulsions of possession, the rage of unheard secrets, all vanished without a trace: only love held him close with a sweet sweetness of sorrow, A love that has scarcely any longing, but is immensely strong."

Outside the window, Budapest shakes gently.

Volume [-]【Love in Budapest】End

The author has something to say:

There is no translation for Qin Zheng’s love words, there are many translations, and I feel that none of them are enough to describe the heartbeat of the original sentence. Currently, my favorite one is "You light up my day".

The atmosphere in the Iceland chapter will be different, which is roughly equivalent to starting a new journey.
