Chapter 18 Chapter 18

On the plane at [-]:[-] in the morning, Ni Yan arrived at the airport early in the morning. He only carried a schoolbag and had no luggage to check in. He directly printed his boarding pass on the self-service check-in machine and went to the security check line.The airports in big cities are full of people. Ni Yan stretched his head and looked forward. Wu Yangyang's heads were next to each other. He couldn't help but secretly regret that he would have chosen an island with a high-speed rail if he had known earlier.

After going through the security check and finding the boarding gate, it was already a few minutes past eight. Ni Yan found a chair and sat down. Just about to click on Xiaoxiaole, a phone call came in suddenly. Ni Yan looked at the name displayed on the screen. , and instantly became restless.

"Hey, Dad." Ni Yan said coldly.

"I didn't reply to your WeChat messages. Are you back from vacation?" It was Ni Yan's father on the phone.

"The phone was soaked in water, and now it keeps getting stuck," Ni Yan said, "I don't want to go back, I have something to do at school."

At this time, the airport broadcast suddenly sounded overhead, and the deafening voice kept echoing in my ears.

"Are you at the airport?" Old Ni asked in surprise.

"Well, the school organizes field trips." Ni Yan replied casually.

Old Ni: "Where are you going?"

Ni Yan: "Shandong."

Old Ni: "Be careful on the road."

Ni Yan: "Well, board the plane, hang up." After that, Ni Yan hung up the phone, turned on the flight mode, and connected to the airport wifi to play match [-] games.

Until sitting in the passenger cabin, the moment the plane took off, Ni Yan felt that all the nerves were relaxed. Others would feel dizzy when the plane took off and landed, but he only felt relaxed.

Ni Yan sat on the seat by the aisle, he didn't like to sit by the window, he found it very troublesome to squeeze in and out.Sitting on his left is a girl in her early twenties, wearing a chiffon dress, who should also be on vacation by the seaside. Ni Yan glanced at her and thought that the girl looked pretty good.After the phone was turned off, he took out the pad he bought during the summer vacation, plugged in the earphones, and started listening to music with his eyes closed.

The journey from Yunshan to Yantai is only one and a half hours. As soon as the plane took off, the stewardesses began to hand out snacks. As soon as they finished eating, they took away the lunch boxes, and the plane was about to land again.This kind of short trip just can't make people feel the feeling of "on the road"...

After getting off the plane, the air was much cooler than Yunshan. Ni Yan was afraid of the cold, so he wore a dark blue windbreaker jacket, a shirt and a thin sweater inside, and a pair of jeans underneath. He looked like a young man who had just entered college, exuding a youthful air.He didn't stay in the urban area much, and went directly to Penglai Wharf by car, bought a boat ticket and prepared to go to the island.He booked an inn by the sea. For the past few days, he just wanted to enjoy the sea breeze and pick up shells...

After getting off the boat, the owner of the inn was already waiting for him. After October, there were fewer and fewer people in the northern islands. Ni Yan sat in the owner's car and chatted with him without saying a word. His hometown is very close to Shandong, so he listened to Shandong dialect and was kind of friendly.

After putting the things in the room and having lunch, it was past one o'clock in the afternoon. Ni Yan took his mobile phone and room card and went out.He walked slowly along the beach, and in front of him was the blue sea. This color was not seen in coastal cities. Only the islands could see the deepened blue.Ni Yan sat on a big rock, staring blankly at the distance where the sea and the sky are uniform, there are seagulls flying around in the sky, Ni Yan can't help but smile enviously, he doesn't know when he will have real love. Freedom, freedom from the past, freedom from all shackles, like these seagulls, soaring unrestrained in the sea.

Ni Yan took out his mobile phone and took a picture towards the distance. The endless dark blue color appeared more intense in the mobile phone, and the blue color was more refreshing, dotted with white seagulls.He casually sent a Moments message with the text "Are you intoxicated?", and clicked on the location to send. After sending, he put his phone in his pocket, lay on the big rock, closed his eyes and sat in the sun. After the sun set, he lay down until the sun set, and the surrounding air suddenly cooled down. Ni Yan woke up with a start, and found that the surrounding area had gradually darkened.

Ni Yan jumped off the rock, patted the dust on his back, picked up the rock and walked to the inn.He had some dinner at the boss's house, wandered around in the small courtyard, and found that the boss was quite romantic, the entire small courtyard was full of flowers and plants, and he also had two dogs and a cat.There was a swing chair among the flowers, Ni Yan grinned suddenly, stepped forward and jumped up, the whole person nestled in the chair, swaying gently.

A young Samoyed ran over and looked at Ni Yan who was swinging gently by the hanging chair. Ni Yan thought it was cute, bent down, picked it up, put it in his arms, and gently followed its path. hair.Suddenly, Ni Yan's eyes lit up, he took out his phone, and took a selfie with Sam.He casually posted another circle of friends - "Gatlin, do you want a younger brother?"

Swinging on the chair for a while, the innkeeper saw Ni Yan playing with the dog leisurely in the yard, and came over with a smile and leaned against the railing to chat with Ni Yan.

"Young man, are you still studying?" the boss asked.

"Well, come out to play for a few days during the [-]th holiday." Ni Yan said.

"How old is it?" the boss asked.

"Yanyi." Ni Yan said.

The boss suddenly had a look of admiration in his eyes: "Why do you come out to play alone?"

Ni Yan: "I want to go out to relax, my classmates recommended this place."

The boss smiled: "You are such an older child, what are you doing, are you broken in love?"

Ni Yan smiled helplessly: "No, I'm not in love yet."

The boss wanted to continue to say something, but suddenly heard someone coming in from outside the door, thinking that there was another business coming, he smiled at Ni Yan, and walked to the front hall.

Two men came in from the door, one was about 40 years old, and the other was in his 20s. They were both rich and expensive.The boss looked at it suspiciously, and felt that he didn't seem to be traveling on a long vacation, so he walked up and asked, "Do you two have a reservation?"

The man in his 20s took out his mobile phone and showed him a photo, and asked softly, "Boss, may I ask, does this dog belong to your family? This yard is here, right? Ting Yuxuan?! "

The boss took a look at the phone, and was stunned. In the photo, there was a boy hugging a dog. That boy...wasn't he the one who was chatting with him in the yard just now? !He...wouldn't be a fugitive, would he? !The more the boss thought about it, the more frightened he became, and his hands began to shake: "You, you... what are you doing?"

"I'm his friend, I know he's here too, and I want to come to him." The man in his 20s said with a smile, his peach eyes were curved and shining.

"Are you... are the police? I don't know anything, he... is in the yard, and I am willing to cooperate with you in arresting him!" The boss said in a trembling voice, terrified.

"Ah?" Both men were taken aback for a moment, and then the one in his 20s suddenly looked surprised, "Is he really here?!" Seeing the boss nodded timidly, he said to the man beside him, " Old Liu, thank you so much, you should go back as soon as there is still a boat."

"It's okay, Mr. Lu. I have relatives on the island. I'll just go to his house to stay at night," Lao Liu said with a smile on his face. You go to the airport."

"Thank you, thank you, then slow down on your way back." Lu Mingsu waved at Old Liu, and ran into the yard. As soon as he stepped into the gate of the yard, he saw Ni Yan crouching in the hanging chair with the dog in his arms. Swinging, he grinned in an instant.

Ni Yan lowered his head and scratched Sa Mo's back, enjoying the tranquility of this moment comfortably. He raised his head slowly, and suddenly saw a familiar face in front of him with a smirk... Looking at his face Double peach blossom eyes.Ni Yan was startled, his heart sank, and he froze there stupidly... Lu Mingsu?Why is he here? !

Seeing that Ni Yan saw him, Lu Mingsu walked over with his bag on his back, leaned against the pillar beside Ni Yan, and said with a smile, "Why didn't you tell me when you came out to play?"

"Why are you here?" Ni Yan looked at him in bewilderment.

Lu Mingsu stood beside Ni Yan, pushed him aside, and sat down, the two of them were swinging on the hanging chair together.

"I'm on a business trip in Yantai, and my colleagues here took us to the island for two days. Who knew you were here just by seeing your Moments." Lu Mingsu said seriously, and he himself didn't Knowing how, he learned this trick from Ni Yan.

He was eating takeaway in the office at noon and scrolling through Moments when he suddenly saw the photo of the sea taken by Ni Yan. After seeing the location, he immediately called Xiao Yang in and asked him to book the earliest flight ticket to Yantai. I stuffed my laptop into my bag and headed straight to the airport.Xiao Yang contacted the people from the Yantai branch to pick up Lu Mingsu and send him directly to the island. Lu Mingsu originally wanted to inquire at several inns near that location, but when he found the one where Ni Yan lived, who knew that he had just asked two , I saw Ni Yanfa's circle of friends again, so I asked Lao Liu to rush over directly.

Ni Yan looked at him suspiciously: "Then where do you stay at night?"

"Stay here!" Lu Mingsu said with a grin.

"Ah?" Ni Yan frowned, "Aren't you going to arrange accommodation when you come out to play?"

"It's been arranged, but it's too far away from the sea, so your environment is better." Lu Mingsu said.

Ni Yan smiled helplessly: "Squad Leader Lu, where's your sense of collective honor?!"

"Eat by a dog!" Lu Mingsu said indifferently, looking at Ni Yan with a sweet smile.

Ni Yan and Lu Mingsu sat on the hanging chair until 09:30 before going back to their rooms to sleep. Ni Yan lay on the bed, tossing and turning, unable to fall asleep. His heart that had calmed down...came into chaos again—is it really an arrangement of fate to meet again on an island more than 1000 kilometers away from Yunshan? !This Lu Mingsu... what exactly does he want to do?

The next morning, Ni Yan got up before dawn. He was going to the beach to watch the sunrise.When he was going out, he still lingered a few steps in front of Lu Mingsu's door, hesitating whether to call him to go with him, but after thinking about it, he still didn't knock on the door, so he packed a bag of candy and walked to the door of the inn alone.However, as soon as he stepped out of the inn gate, Ni Yan froze in place. Lu Mingsu was leaning against the door, smoking a cigarette with his head bowed. Two or three cigarette butts had already been thrown on the ground.

"You..." Ni Yan stared at him blankly.

Seeing Ni Yan coming out, Lu Mingsu laughed instantly: "Let's go!"

"Ah?" Ni Yan was taken aback.

"Watch the sun and go out, let's go!" Lu Mingsu threw the cigarette butt in his hand on the ground, twisted it with his foot a few times, took Ni Yan's hand and ran towards the beach.He remembered that when Ni Yan was giving him extra lessons, he liked to take him to the top of the mountain early in the morning to watch the sunrise. How could Ni Yan let go of such a good sunrise at the beach.So he got up early in the morning and stood at the gate waiting for Ni Yan. If Ni Yan came out, he would take Ni Yan to see it together. If Ni Yan didn't come out, he would take some photos for Ni Yan. look.Sure enough...he waited.

The two sat side by side on the beach by the sea with their legs crossed, silent to each other, quietly waiting for the first rays of the sun.Gradually, a ray of golden yellow appeared in the sky, and it spread across the sea in an instant. The deep blue sea was lined with a golden light, with a hint of mystery in its splendor.Ni Yan smiled in surprise, staring fixedly at the slowly rising salted egg yolk, watching it climb up bit by bit, and the golden light sprinkled more and more covered the entire sea surface.

"Lu Mingsu, look quickly, does it look like a ufo?" Ni Yan pointed at the sun shrouded in clouds and mist, showing a semicircle above and four small circles below, and grabbed Lu Mingsu's arm in surprise.Suddenly, he seemed to feel that he had sat side by side with Lu Mingsu to watch the sunrise before... It seemed more than once.

"Like, very similar!" Lu Mingsu looked at the sun in front of him, and then at Ni Yan who was smiling like a child beside him, and smiled gratifiedly.He pulled his arm out of Ni Yan's hand, stretched it back, and quietly wrapped it around Ni Yan's shoulder, gently, without Ni Yan noticing.

Ni Yan just looked at the rising sun, and slowly lay down, with his hands behind his head, his eyes closed, and the corners of his mouth slightly raised.

Lu Mingsu turned around to look at Ni Yan, and also lay down, imitating Ni Yan's posture, lying beside him, but didn't close his eyes, but stared blankly at the gradually blue sky.He thought that Ni Yan got up too early in the morning and was sleepy again, so he wanted to wait for him to wake up before taking him back for breakfast. Suddenly, he heard a voice—"Lu Mingsu, what exactly do you want?"

"Ah?" Lu Mingsu was startled, and realized that it was Ni Yan who was talking just now. He turned around to look at Ni Yan, and said softly, "What did you say?"

Ni Yan opened his eyes abruptly, stared at Lu Mingsu, and said coldly: "Let me ask you, Lu Mingsu, what exactly do you want to do?"

"I..." Lu Mingsu suddenly panicked, "I didn't want to do anything."

"Then why do you always break into my life?" Ni Yan closed his eyes again, his tone was still very cold, "I finally found a place to calm down, and you fucking reappeared."

Lu Mingsu's hands trembled, his whole heart trembled, and it took him a long time to muster up his courage: "Ni Yan, I...I want to—"

However, Ni Yan didn't give him a chance to speak out, and suddenly interrupted his words: "What you think has nothing to do with me. The two of us have walked different paths since we were young. Forcibly tied together will only hurt both sides. I think You remember... we don't know each other well."

"Although you didn't have me in your 15 years, but I had you in those 15 years!" Lu Mingsu said excitedly, "I said, it doesn't matter if you forget, we can start over!"

Hearing this, Ni Yan smiled helplessly, and it took a long time before he said softly: "Ordinary people with little knowledge...you don't understand at all...some roads will be very tiring to walk." After finishing speaking, Ni Yan got up and walked slowly. He walked slowly towards the inn. He didn't want to make others feel tired, let alone his own heart. He had a very happy life in the past few years, and he didn't want to forget about it.

Lu Mingsu's heart sank, and he fell for a while as if he was weightless, but after thinking about it, he seemed to have noticed something, and then he smiled happily, jumped up and followed quickly, shouting while running He said: "Ni Yan, wait for me!"
