Chapter 13 Stargazing

"You're doing it wrong!" Human Face Tree yelled, "It's obviously..."

"Shut up." Tan Changxing said impatiently, and stuck the pieces of wood together so that they were right on top of each other, "That's all right."

Wei Ming put the blue snail into the small wooden boat, and the snail slowly spread the slime all over the wooden surface. He reached out and grabbed the snail, put it into the wooden box, and waited for the slime to dry before putting it into the water basin for experimentation.

Human Face Tree accuses Tan Changxing aggrievedly: "Why are you yelling at me?"

"You're too noisy." Tan Changxing said, he gave the Human Face Tree a sideways glance, "And you're stupid as hell."

Wei Ming chuckled, and smoothed things over: "Okay, I want to hear Xiao Shu tell a story."

Tan Changxing was depressed, feeling that Wei Ming was being supported by a tree, so he hung his head and did not speak for a long time.

The Human-Mask Tree smiled triumphantly, searched a few short stories from long ago, and said, "Before the white tiger was born, the overlord of the island was a big snake with wings. I call it the Big Winged Snake. It is the same as the white tiger. Can't speak, but came to play with me every day, but I can understand a few words. Once, a male human appeared on the island. The big winged snake had never seen a human, and picked up the human. It came to ask me How to raise humans, I asked why it raised it, it meant that it thought humans were cute. After a while, I didn’t see the big-winged snake, and the humans it raised came to me, and I thought humans were a little longer It’s not cute, it’s wrinkled, and it’s uglier than my bark. Humans told me that the big-winged snake died, but he didn’t say how he died. He entrusted me with a snake egg and left.”

"And then?" Wei Ming asked.

"Then, that egg is a dead egg. The white tiger hasn't hatched for a long time." The human-faced tree said, "The big-winged snake stole the dead egg from somewhere, and left it for human beings to think about."

"The big-winged snake understands." Tan Changxing said, his eyes fell on Wei Ming.

The Human Face Tree has lived for tens of millions of years, and has seen much more than Tan Changxing. It can tell what Tan Changxing is thinking at a glance. It uses the story of the big-winged snake to remind Tan Changxing. It is better to cherish the present than a dead egg.

Wei Ming put the dry wooden boat into the water basin, and after waiting for a while, the water did not enter as before. He patted Tan Changxing's arm in surprise: "It succeeded."

Tan Changxing didn't look happy, his country was dead, why did he insist on going back?

The Human Face Tree continued to mutter: "Everyone who comes to the island is miserable. I have heard thousands of life stories, each with its own tragic ways." With a miserable life experience, how could he be picked up and led back to the immortal path?

Wei Ming turned a deaf ear to the bewitchment of the Human Face Tree, and said to Tan Changxing, "Let's go to the beach to build a big ship."

"What Xiaoshu said makes sense, what do you think?" Tan Changxing asked.

Wei Ming frowned: "Everyone has different ideas. You are nostalgic for your homeland, so you can go back naturally. Why care about what others say?"

Tan Changxing lowered his head, his heart wavered, and he whispered, "I want to take you back together to see my home."

"...That's it." Wei Ming washed his hands in the sink and said casually, "Okay, I'll accompany you. After all, it's too dangerous to cross the ocean. I don't trust you alone."

"Really?" Tan Changxing raised his head, his eyes were bright, he planned to go back to Song Hai and take Wei Ming for fun, and he must eat Song Hai's famous vinegar jellyfish and abalone porridge.

"Just because I don't want to go home doesn't mean I don't want to go back to land." Wei Ming said, "Traveling to other countries sounds interesting."

"Okay." Tan Changxing couldn't help but grabbed Wei Ming's hand, his eyes were clear, "Let's go together."

After bidding farewell to the human face tree, Big Tiger took them to the beach and spent the afternoon cutting planks.Tan Changxing looked at the raft they had tied up and placed on the beach last time, and said, "Let's watch the stars at night."

Lying on a raft floating in the shallow sea, the sky is full of stars, listening to the sound of the waves, is the ultimate romance.

Wei Ming nodded and agreed, "Okay."

So after dinner at night, Wei Ming sat on the raft, and Tan Changxing pushed the raft into the shallow sea, propped up//sit on it, and sat side by side with Wei Ming.

Tan Changxing took out two wild fruits and handed one to Wei Ming: "I've been here for two months, I feel like it's been a long time."

"Yes." Wei Ming said, took a bite of the wild fruit, the juice was clear and sweet, "I'm living a very happy life."

"Me too." Tan Changxing took a deep breath, laying back on the raft, watching the twinkling stars in the sky merge into the Milky Way, and as the idea of ​​going back became closer and closer, he felt an inexplicable panic. Intuitively, he felt that once he stepped out of the island, such a simple and beautiful day would turn into sand and flow away from his palm.

Wei Ming was lying beside him, her voice was stable and had the power to comfort people's hearts: "When I first came here, I didn't believe in love because of my mother, but I want to ask you..."

"Wei Ming, are you willing to be my partner?" Tan Changxing asked nervously, his mind went blank and his fingertips trembled, "I, I like you."

"Partner? Are you too anxious." Wei Ming said, hearing the breathless voice beside him, he couldn't help chuckling, and took Tan Changxing's hand, "We can take our time, starting from holding hands."

"Oh, good." Tan Changxing's heart was full of ups and downs, and his mind was full of confusion. When he heard Wei Ming's words, he hurriedly responded, the corners of his lips could not help but rise, and he talked more, "The capital city of Song Hai is called Tingtao City, The most famous one is Catch the Sea, I will show you when I get back."

"Long Star." Wei Ming called his name affectionately, and he pointed to the Milky Way, "There are shooting stars."

Tan Changxing closed his mouth and watched the meteor with its long tail disappear among the stars. He put away his amazed gaze, turned his head, looked into Wei Ming's eyes, and boldly approached Wei Ming, landing on the other's cheek. A light kiss.

Wei Ming felt the soft touch on his face, his heart seemed to be scratched by fluffy claws, and he felt something break through the cage, smashing his brain into pieces.He closed his eyes and listened to the sound of the sea breeze and the occasional chirping of sea creatures.

"Wei Ming, look." Tan Changxing bent his elbow to touch Wei Ming, "Is that... a glowing jellyfish?"

Wei Ming opened his eyes, and saw a quite shocking scene. Groups of blue jellyfish floated on the sea surface, illuminating the calm sea very dreamily. He sat up, and a jellyfish passed by him and floated into the distance.

"I think at this moment," Wei Ming looked at Tan Changxing, "it seems unreasonable not to kiss you."

Tan Changxing's eyes lit up, he sat up hastily, put his arms around Wei Ming's waist, and said embarrassedly: "I'm not very good at..."

"I can't either." Wei Ming said, "I can learn."

The appearance of the two hugging and kissing was serious and youthful, like two students seriously studying a subject, Wei Ming pressed the tip of his tongue against Changxing's lips and teeth, gently calming each other's nervousness.

Tan Changxing felt that the fire in his chest was burning more and more intensely, as if it was about to start a prairie fire. He obediently let Wei Ming occupy his mouth, carefully offered his sincerity, and even gave birth to an impulse, if Wei Ming at this time He is also willing to ask him to give up the idea of ​​going home and stay on the island.

But Wei Ming didn't speak.

If Wei Ming had spoken, perhaps there would not have been as much discussion later.
