winter in greenland

Chapter 57

When Dan woke up, he still hadn’t realized the situation in front of him. He blinked and saw the layout of the cabin in front of him clearly—it was bigger than the crew lounge where he and Xia Zuo lived, and there were floor-to-ceiling windows next to the bed. At this moment, the curtains are only half drawn, and you can see the calm sea outside. There is a very abstract decorative painting on the opposite wall, which looks like a mess of twisted lines.

The warmth behind him reminded him that he was nestling in the arms of the person behind him in a warm posture at the moment, and that person's arms were draped across his waist.

Noticing Dan's sudden tight breathing and somewhat stiff body, August retracted his arms, brought him back a little, and said lazily, "Are you awake?"

His voice was lazily hoarse, with some indescribable sex appeal.

Dan was a little shameful to find that he seemed unable to resist August's voice. Just as he tried to get up from the bed, August had already keenly noticed the changes in his body.Seemingly satisfied with this effect, he put a little force on the hand around Dan's waist, brought him down again, and kissed his neck delicately and lingeringly.

……

This time, Dan was awakened by rustling voices. He turned over, ignoring the soreness in his waist, and lifted the quilt to cover his head with some irritability.

August was fully dressed and stood at the door of the cabin, in front of him was Xia Zuo with a gloomy face.

Seemingly aware of some movement behind him, he frowned: "Is there anything else you want?"

Xia Zuo also heard the tiny voice inside, and without saying a word, with a sullen face, he wanted to pass August and walk into the room.

August stretched out a hand in front of him, and his face sank: "Mate, this is my private room." His voice deliberately emphasized the word "private".

Although Xia Zuo was stopped at the door by him, he could see all the clothes scattered on the short porch.The anger in his eyes seemed to burn a hole in the person in front of him: "Is Dan in there?"

August raised his eyebrows: "What does this have to do with you?"

"He's my assistant."

"So you are restricting his personal freedom?"

"I care about him!"

"It's not necessary!" August's voice was very cold, and he looked at Xia Zuo without a trace of emotion: "If I remember correctly, it should be the free time for tourists, with all due respect, first officer, you now It has seriously affected my rest."

Xia Zuo stared at August speechlessly for a while, then punched the wall of the corridor in frustration, turned and left.

By the time August returned to the bedroom, Dan had sat up in bed, the quilt slipped and piled around his waist, exposing a large stretch of his bare back.

August's eyes darkened, he took the remote control on the side cabinet, and turned up the temperature of the air conditioner: "Are you awake?"

Dan looked back at him, yawned, and casually took the shirt next to him and put it on his body: "Who was it just now?"

August paused: "No one. Do you want to take a shower?"

Dan nodded. He didn't look at August and walked into the bathroom barefoot.

After closing the door and coming to a place where August could not see, Dan's expression changed immediately.

Grinning his teeth, he pressed his waist, looked at the striking hickey marks on his shoulders and neck in the mirror in front of him, and finally sighed with a headache.

Before today, he had imagined the scene of talking with August countless times, and the most he thought about was that August would justly distance himself from him, so he would subconsciously avoid this person.

Although the reunion was unexpected, but in his heart he did not want the relationship between the two to break down irretrievably.After all, August did not do anything to apologize to him, it was just a refusal.

If we run into each other on the street one day in the future, it would be a perfect ending if we can smile and say hello to each other.

However, the other party's relentless pursuit disrupted all his thoughts.He couldn't figure out what August was thinking, and after retreating again and again, he finally had that out-of-control kiss that night.

He thought countless times that if he could go back in time, he would definitely not go back to that damn hotel with August, but what happened in the past would not change no matter what, so he had no choice but to bite the bullet and prepare for the final... bad possible.

However, fate seems to be particularly fond of playing tricks on him.

He thought that kiss would be the only and last intersection between them, and he never thought that one day he would wake up in this person's arms, skin to skin, in an extremely intimate gesture.

He didn't know how long he had been in a daze in the bathroom, August didn't rush him, and there was no movement outside.

He looked up at his other self in the mirror. The other person's hair was in a mess, his face was a little pale, a layer of stubble had already appeared on his chin, and only his eyes were bright.

Forget it, it is an unsolvable proposition, why bother to toss yourself again and again.

He let out a sigh, turned on the shower head and started to take a shower.

When he pushed open the bathroom door while wiping his hair, he was taken aback by August next to him—the other party lowered his eyes and leaned against the opposite wall motionlessly with his arms folded, as if he was about to stand like a statue. statue.

"...do you... want to wash?" Dan asked uncertainly.

Startled by his voice, August raised his head, did not speak for a while, and looked at Dan fixedly.

Dan was a little inexplicable by him, and he couldn't help but glanced back into the bathroom, and almost bumped into August's chin as soon as he turned his face.The other party stepped forward, lowered his head slightly and kissed him on the lips, then took the towel in his hand very naturally, rubbed it on his head twice, and said: "There is a hairdryer in the room, although the air conditioner is on , you should dry your hair first. I'll go and rinse it." Then he walked into the bathroom.

Dan was kissed squarely, a suspicious tinge of red creeping up the tips of his ears.The hair dryer was stored in the lower drawer of the closet at the door. As soon as he walked over to take it out, the bathroom door was opened. August unbuttoned a few shirt buttons, leaned out half of his body, and said in a warning tone: " Don't run away again while I'm taking a shower."

Dan: "...no."

August seemed to be satisfied with this answer, the corner of his mouth hooked, and he turned and closed the bathroom door.

After blowing his head, he looked at his watch, it was already the afternoon of the second day.He suddenly remembered his unfinished inspection, and took out his cell phone from his jacket pocket—as expected, there were a dozen messages on it, and 7 or 8 missed calls, all of which belonged to Xia Zuo.

He threw the phone aside with some headaches, sat on the edge of the bed for two seconds, simply thinking about explaining to Xia Zuo later, walked to the door, picked up the two people's dropped clothes and put them on the chair, and then He rolled up the messy sheets on the bed and stuffed them into the changing basket on the bed, and pushed open the floor-to-ceiling glass window beside the bed.

The cool sea breeze came in, dissipating some of the smell that made people blush and heartbeat in the room. He took a breath and walked out to the small balcony.

He didn't pay attention to what ticket August bought before, but according to the layout of the room, it was obviously a first-class ticket.Although the size of the cabin is still small, you can directly see the scenery of the sea from the balcony connected to the bedroom, and these balconies are independent, and a set of rattan tables and chairs are placed outside for guests to watch the scenery.

From the perspective of the room, you can't see Longyearbyen, but you can see the blue sea and the huge glaciers on the sea in the distance, refracting colorful light in the dazzling sunlight.

A figure stood on the deck below, leaning against the railing of the ship's side, without moving for a long time.

"What are you looking at?" August also came over after taking a shower, wearing a loose bathrobe, and there were still some fine drops of water hanging on the short hair stubble.

Dan raised his chin towards the deck below, and August poked his head out to take a look, and said lightly, "Who is that?"

"Xia Zuo." Dan replied.

August didn't answer, turned and walked back to the room.

Dan saw some displeasure in his actions, and followed up with some amusement: "What's the matter?"

August walked into the bathroom to find a towel to wipe his hair, and said in a vague voice, "Nothing."

Dan leaned against the door frame, looking at him with a half-smile.

August wiped it for a while, probably feeling a little boring himself, turned his face and said word by word: "He wants to pursue you."

Dan raised his eyebrows: "I know."

"Know that you still go to the restaurant to eat with him?" August's voice brought some dissatisfaction.

Dan thought for a while: "Speaking of this, you should have seen us when we came out of the Old Port that day? Why didn't you call me?"

August: "..." After a pause for a few seconds, he asked angrily, "Why did I call you?"

Dan sighed helplessly, stepped forward and raised his head, and kissed the corner of August's mouth: "Why didn't I find you so eloquent before, Major?"

Hearing what he said about him being used by him, August was speechless for a moment, staring at the person in front of him for a while, and finally Dan couldn't help laughing: "Okay, I should go, you should If you have extra clothes, find two for me to change into."

"Where are you going?" August grabbed his arm.

Dan pointed to the watch on his wrist: "It's been almost a day since I left my post without authorization, and I don't want to be fired so soon."

August: "..." He just remembered that Dan was still a crew member of the "Moby Dick".

"Wait a minute, I'll go with you." He threw the towel aside and walked into the bedroom to change clothes.

Dan wondered: "Where are you going with me?"

"These two days are free time for tourists. You probably don't have much work to do, right? Let's go to Longyearbyen together."

"But Xia Zuo's side may not be..." Dan subconsciously said.

August put on a gray sweater and looked at Dan with a slight frown.

"Okay, let's go together, he should be able to give me another half day off." Dan couldn't stand his eyes, and finally surrendered.

On the deck, Xia Zuo looked at the two people in front of him with resentment.

Dan's body was obviously not the uniform he wore when he was on duty the day before. At first glance, it seemed to fit well, but the shoulders were slightly wider, not to mention the same style and similar color as the person next to him.

"That...Xia Zuo, I'm sorry." Dan signaled August to wait there, and took two steps forward.

"You were with him yesterday?"

Dan nodded, although his face was a little hot, but his eyes were calm.He has never been entangled, and once he has decided on something, he will not hide it from others.

Xia Zuo gave him a sad look: "But when you rejected me, you clearly said that you already have a lover, why did you get involved with him again?"

Dan slightly turned his head and glanced at August behind him, with a faint smile on his face: "I do have a lover."

The moment he turned his head, Xia Zuo saw the unwavering look in his eyes. It was the look that only someone who looks at a lover would have - gentle and down-to-earth, the world is so big and at that moment his eyes could only hold that one person. .

Xia Zuo waved his hand in frustration: "I see, I finished the patrol for you yesterday, and your name was written in the diary, so don't worry about Fitch."

"Uh... Also, can I ask for half a day off, August wants to go to Longyearbyen. Sorry, I know I should be on the night shift today, if it's convenient, can I transfer it?" Dan's The tone is very sincere.

Xia Zuo stared at him for a few seconds, then sighed: "Hurry up, hurry up, don't provoke me again, I just fell out of love."

Dan was amused by his tone: "Thank you, Xia Zuo."

Xia Zuo pretended to be looking at the sea level in the distance, and turned his head only after hearing the sound of footsteps fading away behind him, just in time to see them walking around the corner.

Both of them were wearing the same windbreaker, one dark blue and the other black. The silhouette alone was pleasing to the eye.What August said made the young man around him bend his eyes and laugh, his side face was soft, and those green eyes were full of warmth and happiness that Xia Zuo had never seen before.
