Chapter 110
Chapter 110
In the hot summer, the mountains are shaded by trees, cool and comfortable.
Sitting by the stream, Jian Zhou dipped his bare feet in the water, watching the children in twos and threes in the distance get together to play water fights.
This is the hometown of Grandpa Jianzhou. He came here several times when he was a child. Seven or eight years later, the big cities are being built rapidly, but the mountainous area still maintains its original appearance.
Although the roads and the Internet are connected, it is still not very developed. Almost all the young people have gone out to work hard. The old people who stay here are used to the wild cranes and seldom pay attention to the outside world.
Staying away from the hustle and bustle is enough for Jian Zhou now, even if Grandpa's illness is good and bad, he will always be locked out every three days.
But it doesn't matter, he is getting more and more proficient at turning windows.
"Jane baby!" The neighbor's uncle's voice was loud and clear, startling a tree of birds, "Someone is looking for it!"
Jian Zhou's feet dangling in the water suddenly stopped, he clenched his hands subconsciously, and it took a long time before he raised his head and looked at the path in the mountain.
Li Jianguo, in a suit and leather shoes, carefully avoided the weeds and tree branches growing wildly on both sides of the road, and walked to Jian Zhou with difficulty.
"Why do I feel that you look disappointed when you see me?" Li Jianguo smiled, cleaned up the grass clippings stuck to his clothes, and asked, "Plan to stay here until school starts, and won't go back?"
Jian Zhou lowered his eyes, his eyes were dim in the shadows swept by his eyelashes, and after a long time, he nodded slightly.
"Okay, you can stay for a few more days if you are happy, and school will start soon anyway." Li Jianguo took out a stack of documents from his briefcase and handed them to him, saying, "All foreign schools have been contacted for you, and you can take a look at the information. Look, in my opinion, it's best to go there a week or two before school starts, to acclimatize in advance."
Jian Zhou took the document, glanced at it, and asked, "Why Melbourne?"
"Uh... Isn't Melbourne very good? I have friends there, so it's easier to do things." Li Jianguo asked, "You don't like it?"
……like.
There are universities he likes and professors he admires.
But he only told Shen Jun about these things.
Thinking of this, Jian Zhou stroked his ring finger habitually, and then he was slightly taken aback.
...the ring has been thrown away by him.
Jian Zhou raised his hand to cover his eyes and said, "Forget it, it's the same wherever you go."
He only mentioned it in passing at the beginning, probably Shen Jun had long since forgotten, it was just a coincidence.
"It doesn't matter, anyway, it's only the third year of high school. If you don't like it, you can go to other schools in the university." Li Jianguo patted his chest proudly, "My son's IQ, it's not like taking any exams is just a joke."
Jian Zhou reluctantly bent his lips and pulled out a little smile.
"And I think Melbourne is quite good. The homestay family I found for you is a family of three. The children are about the same age as you. They go to a high school, and they usually have a care. The specific situation is written in the information. You have a look. Let me know where you don’t like it, and I’ll see if I can coordinate it for you.”
Li Jianguo stopped talking, stood aside and waited for Jian Zhou to finish reading the materials, his eyes fell on his hands full of small wounds, and he said helplessly, "Weeds in the mountains are easy to scratch your hands, so don't be careful."
Jian Zhou's hands froze, he squeezed the paper tightly and then let go, and said calmly, "I will be careful in the future."
But he was not scratched by the weeds in the mountains.
He was looking for the ring, although he couldn't find it in the end.
Probably it really doesn't belong to him.
Jian Zhou laughed at himself, closed the file and returned it to Li Jianguo, "I'm fine."
He and Li Jianguo finalized the time to go abroad, and a week later, the flight was just after eleven o'clock in the evening.
Only Li Jianguo and Li Annan came to see him off.
At this time, there were not too many people, and the huge airport was exceptionally quiet.
But Jian Zhou gradually got used to hiding himself, even if there was no one around, he still wore a mask, and the black hoodie covered his head, almost covering his entire face.
Because he didn't like parting, Jian Zhou came late on purpose. The flight he chose had already started check-in, so there was no extra time to be sad.
Li Annan couldn't help crying.
Li Jianguo sighed and comforted her, "Your brother came back from winter vacation, and it's not like he won't see you anymore. Don't cry."
"Xiaozhou, report to us that we are safe at the place." He said, "We often contact our family, and we must tell us when we encounter difficulties. I have friends there who can help me a little bit."
"Okay." Jian Zhou clenched the suitcase subconsciously, his eyes lingered in the hall for a long time, and finally lowered his head, hiding the loss and reluctance in his eyes, and said, "I'm leaving."
Li Jianguo opened his arms and hugged Jianzhou, "Go, take care of yourself."
Jian Zhou said goodbye to them with a smile, pulled up the suitcase and walked to the security checkpoint alone.
He handed over the documents to the staff, knowing that there should be no extravagant expectations, but he still couldn't help but turn around and search for Shen Jun uncontrollably.
Until the staff returned the documents to him and reminded him to move forward.
Jian Zhou bit his lower lip hard, forced himself to look away, and strode away.
The boy's back was straight, and his figure was made even thinner by the black clothes. Shen Jun hid at the corner, watching him walk into the waiting hall step by step, he couldn't hold back his gaze, and his eyes were flushed.
"Everyone is gone, what are you looking for? If you don't want to, just go after it." Li Jianguo came to Shen Jun at some point, patted him on the shoulder, and asked, "Why did you arrange Xiaozhou to study in Melbourne?"
Shen Jun took a deep breath, calmed down a little, and said, "He likes it there."
"But he likes you more." Li Jianguo didn't know what happened between them, but it was obvious that the two couldn't let go of each other, "I heard that Melbourne is quite open, so don't regret Xiaozhou being chased away by others. "
"I've already regretted it, and I've always regretted it." Shen Jun said helplessly, "But Jian Zhou said that he didn't want to see me."
He said that he wanted to start again, and he didn't want to see the people and things in the past.
No matter what, whether it is sad or sad, as long as it is what he wants, he will do his best to satisfy him.
……
Melbourne is a nice place and host families are easy to get along with.
When Jian Zhou first arrived here, it was actually not difficult, because he spent almost all his time and energy on practicing oral English and adapting to the new environment. Empty care.
But gradually his life started to get on the right track, and he overcame the language barrier. In fact, studying is much easier than in China, and he started to have more and more free time.
Jian Zhou struggled for three months, but in the end he could only prove in despair that he still misses Shen Jun very much.
Missing cannot be diluted by time.
Today is his birthday, which he was looking forward to very much.
The person who promised to live with him at the beginning was not by his side, as if everything had become meaningless, but rather tortured.
Jian Zhou studied all night and went to bed when the sky was about to dawn. He wanted to get through the day in a daze, but Noah woke him up early in the morning.
Noah is the child of his host family, a boy with a very sunny personality, who has recently fallen in love, clamoring for Jian Zhou to accompany him to buy couple rings.
For this reason, Noah drove for more than half an hour and went to a jewelry store far away. It is said that the rings of this brand are very famous.
Noah was communicating with the salesperson in the store. Jian Zhou was free and had nothing to do. He glanced casually, his casual expression froze suddenly, and his heart throbbed violently.
The ring Shen Jun gave him... the logo printed on the inside was exactly the same as this store.
Noah was happily picking out the ring, while Jian Zhou froze for a while, took out his mobile phone and went to the counter.
"Excuse me." Jian Zhou spoke English clearly and proficiently. He dug out the photos on his phone, showed the ring to the salesperson, and asked, "Excuse me, do you have this one?"
He wanted to get that ring back, even if he bought a new one back, it would be good to lie to himself.
Looking carefully at the photos on the mobile phone outside of business, her face changed, she couldn't tell whether it was surprise or disbelief, she took out a magazine from under the counter, found one of the pages, pointed to the pictures on it, and asked cautiously, "Is it true?" this one?"
The picture in the magazine is not a ring, but a design draft. Jian Zhou looked at it carefully and thought there should be nothing wrong.
"Sorry, sir, this ring is not finished." The salesperson said regretfully, "This design drawing is the work of the founder of our brand. It was created on December 17, 12. The same-sex marriage was legalized by the House of Representatives." When the legislation was passed, it was the first pair of wedding rings specially designed for same-sex couples in Australia, which had a special meaning, so it was not sold as a finished product.”
Jian Zhou stared at the design drawing, his eyelashes trembling slightly, and asked hoarsely, "...a wedding ring?"
"Yes, the meaning is Theworlddisfullofsplendor, and Iloveyouisconsistent. In your country's words..." the salesperson said in not-so-fluent Chinese, "The world is colorful and chaotic, but I love you consistently."
Jian Zhou choked for breath, the dull pain and soreness in his chest spread, he closed the magazine in a panic, his eyes were a little wet, and he said to himself, "Maybe I made a mistake, this ring of yours is not finished."
"Perhaps, but the copyright of this design drawing has been bought by someone, and it may be customized." The salesperson smiled, "I heard that this ring has a name later, it's called Jan, sir, what do you need to see?" Is there a similar style?"
"Jan, I've bought it, let's go." Noah suddenly jumped to Jian Zhou's side and asked curiously, "You want to buy a ring too?"
"...don't buy." Jian Zhou lowered his head calmly, rubbed his eyes with the back of his hand, then managed to calm down, thanked the salesperson, and said to Noah, "Go back after buying, I haven't done my homework yet." Finished."
On the way back, Jian Zhou was extremely dull. Noah secretly glanced at him several times, and finally couldn't help asking, "Jan, are you in a bad mood today?"
Although the boy named Jan seemed cold and quiet from the first day he came to his house, and he didn’t like to laugh, as if he was not very happy every day, but Noah could still feel that Jan seemed special today. not happy.
Jian Zhou leaned his head back on the chair, put his hands on his eyes to cover the glare of the sun, "Maybe he didn't sleep well."
Noah suddenly felt a little guilty, "Well, I was wrong, I shouldn't have quarreled with you, so, you go back to bed first, and I will take you to Riverland Bar to play at night, as an apology."
Jian Zhou didn't like the bar environment very much, and wanted to refuse at first, but when the words came to his lips, he changed his mind and nodded in agreement.
Instead of simmering by myself, if I get drunk, maybe it will pass faster.
Noah stopped the car at the intersection and asked, "I'm going to give Alice a ring, together?"
"No." Jian Zhou got out of the car and waved his hand to say goodbye to Noah. Anyway, it's not too far from his house, and he can just walk back, which is only seven or eight minutes away.
On the way back, we will pass a park, the scenery is beautiful, and Jian Zhou unknowingly puts his footsteps full.
The weather in Melbourne is always unpredictable. Recently, it has been raining for several days, and the sun is rarely shining. The park is obviously much more lively.
Children are surrounding a figure in a doll costume asking for gifts.
The man was wearing a doll costume of a Rilakkuma, holding a rose in one hand, and holding the big bear's head with the other from time to time, as if he was always worried that it would accidentally fall off his head.
Clumsy and cute.
The public bench next to it was full of beautifully wrapped gift boxes. He bent down to pick up the gifts and gave them to the children one by one. When the children dispersed, he straightened up and stretched himself. Jian Zhou paused.
Jian Zhou didn't know why he leaned over. He knew that the other party saw him, so he hesitated for a moment, wondering whether he should leave.
Feeling like a child leaning over to ask for a gift... shameful.
Jian Zhou was froze in place and tangled, Rilakkuma had already walked in front of him, picked the most beautiful rose from the roses, and handed it to him.
Jian Zhou hesitated for a moment, took the rose, smiled politely, "Thank you."
Rilakkuma didn't speak, but suddenly leaned over and hugged him, gentlemanly and enthusiastic, with the smell of sunshine.
Hugging is a common way of expressing friendship in Melbourne, and there is nothing special about it, but Jian Zhou actually felt warm in his heart, and also felt inexplicably sad.
He felt that he might be going crazy, and for a moment, he almost couldn't help hugging her back.
Before Jian Zhou wanted to escape, Rilakkuma let him go, turned around and picked among a pile of presents, and finally found a palm-sized gift box and gave it to him.
Jian Zhou picked it up by accident.He stared blankly at the person in front of him.
Soon a few children ran over and surrounded Rilakkuma, Jian Zhou came back to his senses, backed away silently, at a loss with the gift.
It's not polite to go back.
He finally took the gift home.
Noah's parents went on vacation, and it is said that they won't be back until two weeks later. Jian Zhou locked the door and went straight back to his room.
His room is on the third floor, which is the top floor of this small villa. There is a skylight on the ceiling. When he is sleeping, he can just see the stars in the sky through the window, which is so beautiful.
Jian Zhou put the roses in the vase casually, took off his shoes and sat on the bed, holding the gift he just received, stared at it for a while, and slowly unwrapped it.
It is a very beautiful wishing bottle, only half the size of a palm, and the whole body of the bottle is transparent and crystal clear.
A rose is blooming in the water, each petal is exquisite and beautiful, exuding breathtaking charm, there is a layer of golden things deposited on the bottom of the bottle, Jian Zhou shakes the bottle, and the golden color immediately floats away in the water Come, like the bright stars in the night sky, and like the fine sunlight in the morning, gently sprinkled on the roses.
Just looking at it makes people's hearts ripple.
Jian Zhou liked this wishing bottle very much, and carefully placed it on the bedside table.
At the same time, he also shattered his unrealistic fantasy, that person...can't be Shen Jun, right?
If Shen Jun really wanted to come to him, he would have come a long time ago, why would he wait until now.
Moreover, as far as Shen Jun's straight man who gave gifts was concerned, giving him a fire extinguisher version 2.0 was almost the same, it was impossible to think of such a gift.
A smile flashed in Jian Zhou's eyes, and then he was overwhelmed by deeper sadness. He rubbed his hair irritably, fell on the bed, hugged the quilt and sighed.
He must have lost his mind and wanted to break up.
How to do?
so sorry...
so sad……
Jian Zhou lay on the bed, rolled back and forth, took out his mobile phone and pressed Shen Jun's phone number one by one, but he still dared not dial it.
At the beginning, he himself said that he wanted to break up, said such cruel words, and even threw away the ring. How could he have the face to ask for reunion now?
Jian Zhou struggled until he was physically and mentally exhausted, his palms were sweating, and even his mobile phone was slippery. He buried his head on the pillow and buckled the mobile phone on the bed in a decadent manner.
Forget it.
Maybe Shen Jun already has someone else to accompany him, there is always no shortage of people who are more cheerful than him and have a better personality than him.
Jian Zhou was thinking about it, but suddenly heard Shen Jun's voice coming from the phone.
"Hello."
The simple two words, without any emotion, are extremely unfamiliar, but they still set off a turbulent wave in Jian Zhou's heart.
The fortress, which was already riddled with holes, was easily crushed by two words. Jian Zhou bit his lower lip in collapse, suppressing the choking in his throat, not daring to make a sound.
He must have accidentally touched the call button, Jian Zhou tremblingly picked up the phone, and wanted to hang up, but his fingers seemed to be against him, stalemate and refused to move.
After hearing no reply for a long time, Shen Jun asked again, "Hello, who is it?"
Jian Zhou changed a new number abroad, and Shen Jun didn't know who it was, and he probably hung up on it as a harassing call soon.
Thinking of this, Jian Zhou put the phone to his ear, quietly listening to the other party's gentle breathing, and then waited for him to hang up the phone.
But Shen Jun was silent for a while, and suddenly asked, "...Jian Zhou?"
Jian Zhou trembled suddenly, hung up the phone hastily, the sudden loss of voice made his whole heart ache, and curled up on the bed clutching his chest.
He didn't know when he fell asleep, and when he was woken up by Noah, the sky was already dark, and there were stars outside the skylight.
Noah asked worriedly, "Jan, you look bad, are you uncomfortable?"
"It's okay." Jian Zhou got up and tidied up, and followed Noah downstairs.
Feeling a little dizzy, he took a piece of bread in the kitchen, sat in the co-pilot while eating, and said, "If possible, please drive slowly."
Noah rarely showed his superb driving skills and drove smoothly all the way to the bar.
RiverlandBar is a famous bar nearby, leaning on the riverside, the environment is very beautiful at night.
There were two waiters in black tuxedos standing at the entrance of the bar, distributing masks. Noah picked two and handed the white one to Jian Zhou, saying, "Tonight is mask night, it's just right for you, you beautiful-looking orientals , Usually there will be a lot of people strike up a conversation, it will be better to wear a mask."
Hearing this, Jian Zhou quickly put on the mask, only showing half of his fair face.
Noah led him to the bar, ordered two glasses of wine, pointed to the dance floor and asked Jian Zhou, "Shall we go play together?"
"It's fine if I'm here." Jian Zhou refused Noah without hesitation, saying, "Go ahead and leave me alone."
"Then watch out for your own safety, I'll come back to you when I've had enough fun." Noah threw down these words and rushed onto the dance floor impatiently.
The atmosphere in the noisy bar was too noisy, and the smell of alcohol was also very heavy. Jian Zhou frowned uncomfortably, and took a small sip from the wine glass.
Noah was having fun in the middle of the dance floor when he was suddenly dragged into a corner by his collar. He turned around and raised his eyebrows in surprise, "Shen, why are you here?"
Shen Jun hid his figure in the corner, and asked angrily, "Why did you bring him to the bar?"
Noah shrugged and said, "I think he's in a bad mood, take him out to relax."
"No, he doesn't know how to drink." Shen Jun said, "Take him back quickly."
"I haven't played enough yet." Noah glanced at Jian Zhou's position and said, "Jan is not very good at drinking."
Shen Jun followed and looked over, seeing two empty wine glasses in front of Jian Zhou, he immediately touched his forehead with a headache.
Noah took the opportunity to sneak back to the dance floor, and made a face at Shen Jun, "Jan has drunk all the wine, it's the same if he leaves later, I'll go play first."
Shen Jun, "..."
His kid has a miraculous physique that can be picked up in one bite.
Shen Jun put on his mask helplessly, crossed the dance floor, and walked towards the bar.
As soon as he entered the dance floor, someone would approach and pester him. It took Shen Jun a long time to get out of the 'encirclement', but he found that Jian Zhou had disappeared from the bar.
He was startled, worried that something might happen to Jian Zhou, and hurriedly searched around the bar.
In fact, Jian Zhou has already left the bar.
He was dizzy after drinking, and he walked a little shaky, but this did not affect his beating.
Since the shadow of the past, Jian Zhou has been very disgusted with the approach of strangers, not to mention this kind of obvious conspiracy.
When Shen Jun rushed out to find Jian Zhou, he was leaning against the wall flexing his wrists, his drunken eyes were cold and bright, a man next to him covered his stomach and screamed, and the other was thrashing desperately in the river.
The mask on Jian Zhou's face loosened a little during the fight and kept sliding down. He held it up twice uncomfortably, and finally tore it off and threw it into the trash can.
Shen Jun watched him calmly from the side, he didn't seem to be drunk, so he couldn't help feeling a little strange.
Can this drink get better all of a sudden?Or didn't drink at all?
Shen Jun was full of doubts, he forgot to hide for a while, and met Jian Zhou who turned around and was about to leave the battlefield.
Jian Zhou stood on the spot and looked at him. After a while, his indifferent and domineering expression softened. He blinked and said innocently, "They bullied me."
He rushed over to hug Shen Jun, and said in a pitiful tone, "I'm afraid."
Shen Jun, "..." Guo, as expected, he was still drunk.
Shen Jun touched the mask, wondering if Jian Zhou recognized him, and more importantly, he didn't know if Jian Zhou would like to see him now.
He was at a loss, not knowing what to do.
Jian Zhou hugged him for a while, and when he saw that he ignored him, he pouted dissatisfiedly, and squatted on the ground with his knees hugged.
Shen Jun leaned over and patted his head, and asked, "What's wrong? Are you unhappy?"
"I'm lost." Jian Zhou raised his head, looked at Shen Jun with watery eyes, and said aggrievedly, "I need to claim it."
Jian Zhou grabbed the corner of Shen Jun's clothes with his hands, and shook gently, "Do you want to adopt me, I'm very good."
"..." Shen Jun's heartbeat suddenly became chaotic. Every time Jian Zhou got drunk, he couldn't stand it, "Okay, okay, adopt you, I'll take you home, get up first."
Jian Zhou squatted still, stretched out his hands to Shen Jun, and said, "I want to hug."
Shen Jun didn't hug him, but asked, "Jian Zhou...do you know who I am?"
"Shen Jun." Jian Zhou blurted out immediately, seeing his surprised expression, tilted his head and smiled, and asked happily and with a little complacency, "Am I smart?"
"Well, smart." Shen Jun hugged Jian Zhou and asked, "So, you are willing to see me now, aren't you?"
"Of course, I've always wanted to see you, you're so stupid." Jian Zhou put his arms around Shen Jun's neck, put his chin on his shoulder, smirked for a while, and then stared at him with red eyes, "Why are you doing this now? Come?"
Shen Jun caressed Jian Zhou's glowing cheeks with his palm, placed a soft kiss on his forehead, and replied, "Idiot, I'm always here."
