Teenager reconciles with the love of his heart.

Surrounded by crowds of tourists, neon lights, sounds and shadows, Shen Ke was surrounded by these lights and finally realized with hindsight that--

It turns out that this teenager, who has been a bit awkward for almost half a month now, was happy to see that I came over especially for his birthday.

After this realization, Shen Ke's entire state was even more relaxed compared to a moment ago, he laughed dumbly, and reached out his hand in the air, "Sincere, right?"

Lin Jian couldn't hold back a partial laugh, and then took a few steps forward and said, "Or don't embarrass yourself, and I ...... just want to eat this."

Shen Ke's eyes followed his fingers to the cake he was carrying in his hand, obviously not agreeing with his idea: "That's not good, it's a birthday."

It's because it's your birthday that you don't want to be with anyone else, that you don't want to be in a crowd with you, that you want to be alone with you for a few stolen hours.

"Why not?" Lin Jian said righteously, "Didn't you say, on a birthday, the birthday boy is the biggest."

"...... OK, listen to you." Shen Ke could only compromise unconditionally, "Then birthday girl, where do you want to eat?"

Lin Jian dropped his eyes in serious thought and replied, "Go to the mountains."

"...... You really dare to think." Shen Ke sighed helplessly and lost his smile, "The middle of the night is wild beyond bounds ...... Let's go, go up the mountain."

So just skipped to finish that section of the road still have to skate back, the two returned to the north door of the teaching and research training to pick up the car, the security guards are still in the doorway to take a cool, see them back surprised: "Why so fast back, this is just how much time, I'll open the door for you ah?"

Lin Jian pursed the corners of his lips and only smiled without saying anything, Shen Ke only sighed and shook his head, "No, I'll take him out of the house, and then it might be too late to come back, so I'll still have to trouble you then."

"Oh ......" moncler outlet store curiously, "so what's the point of going this late at night?"

Shen Ke pulled open the rear door and put the cake back into the refrigerator, when he saw that Lin Jian had already gone around to the passenger side and was ready to get into the car, still holding the gift box in his hand.

Shen Ke could not help but say, "Haven't seen what it is yet, and you like it like this?" But the corners of his mouth hooked up, smiled and replied in a faint voice to the grandpa, "Climb a high and take him to pick stars."

moncler outlet online "......"

If you don't say so, it's still you youngsters who know how to have fun.

To get to the top of the mountain you have to go out of the city, but the good thing is that the Center for Teaching, Research and Training is in the outer ring, Shen Ke drove about half an hour to the outskirts of the city.

Outside the city, the bustle and hustle of the neon city are also far away, especially into the suburbs, wide and straight road is rare, from the main road into the unknown country road, the road surface is obviously bumpy.

Luckily Shen Ke was driving an off-road today, which is extremely stable, and after a short detour around a country dirt road, we finally reached the bottom of the hill.

The two turned off the engine and got out of the car, Lin Jian very consciously took both the cake and the gift box in his hand, while not walking two steps, the body suddenly warm, was draped from behind a windbreaker jacket.

The familiar and faint cold scent of cedar wrapped around him in a flash, Lin Jian's footsteps slightly paused, and just when he was about to say "no", Shen Ke had already come around to his side, and took the things from his hands, saying: "It's windy in the mountains, so put on your clothes well."

When he said this, there was another trench coat hanging in the crook of his arm, Lin Jian looked at him silently, and then silently put on the sleeves, and then zipped the zipper straight to the top, and turned his hand to take the cake and the gift box back from Shen Ke's hand, and lifted his chin at him, and returned the original words, "It's windy on the mountain, so wear your clothes well."

Shen Ke was stunned for a moment, but then he couldn't help but incline his head and let out a low chuckle, "What a birthday year, you're starting to mind me."

Lin Jian just looked at him in a reassuring aura, not speaking or making a statement, and Shen Ke locked eyes with him for three seconds, eventually losing out to the birthday boy, who was a year older, and smiled as he put his trench coat back on.

The two men followed the trail upward, quiet at this hour, the summer insects resting at night, the only sounds around them being the rustle of the night wind caressing the mountain grass and the sound of two staggered, corresponding footsteps.

This mountain on the outskirts of the city is not high, along the gravel road to the top of the mountain for two people are not difficult, to the mountain, just look up, the vision opened up, only to see the Di Curtain boundless, bright stars.

Lin Jian found a piece of open flat land full of short grass, just wanted to sit down, the collar of his coat was lifted by someone, he turned his head, only to see Shen Ke raised his hand and took off his trench coat, casually shook it, straight to the grass and said, "Sit down."

"......" Lin Jian was speechless for three seconds, then looked at Shen Ke, who was wearing only a black shirt in the slightly cool mountain wind, and couldn't help but frown, "You're not cold?"

Shen Ke sat down carelessly and casually patted the seat beside him, still in the same lazy posture, and laughed, "So you'll sit closer and shield me from the wind?"

Lin Jian glanced at the spot where his palm had casually slapped, and his heart suddenly went haywire for a few beats.

He pursed the corners of his lips a bit and walked over to Shen Ke with his eyes downcast, taking a seat at ...... a slightly more distant distance than he had indicated.

Shen Ke was not the least bit surprised, after all, Lin Jian has been like this since he was a child, and anyone who gets along with him has a fixed safety range that belongs to himself, even if he is as close to him as Shen Ke, he has never thought of breaking through that distance someday, just because he knows that this is the psychological comfort zone that this child has drawn for himself since he was a child.

"We've climbed the mountain, we've climbed the heights, and now we're going to light the candles and eat the cake?" Shen Ke said as he untied the ribbon of the outer box of the cake, and then unveiled the box to reveal the true appearance of the cake.

Lin Jian lowered his eyes, slightly surprised.

The cake is not big, eight inches or so, just look at the packaging originally thought it was which light luxury dessert brand, but at first glance this ...... mediocre craftsmanship, it does not seem to be quite like--.

It's just a very simple round cake embryo, sealed with a buttercream layer, surrounded by a circle of rainbow-colored laminated flowers, and with a very large smiley face outlined in frosting on the front.

"......" Lin Jian's heart suddenly rose with some kind of strong premonition, abruptly raised his eyes and asked, "Which store ordered this cake?"

Shen Ke clenched his fist and coughed lowly, his eyes rarely wandering a bit, and answered, "Well, it's not important ...... how many candles for you?"

"You did it, didn't you?" Lin Jian asked with a pinch of salt, ignoring his preoccupation.

Can't hide it, the child is too smart, Shen Ke only have to show the cards, he smiled and sighed, despondent, "God Lin, see through not to say ah." Pause two seconds, and low cough, want to cover up the explanation, "the company office building opposite the newly opened bakery, today I passed by and saw the sign says you can do-it-yourself experience ...... coincidentally, the company is not too much today, a moment of freshness on the try... ..." said this and could not help but laugh, looking for complementary Road, "do not do well, the birthday girl do not mind?"

Coincidence, not much, a moment of freshness ...... These words if used to coax his eight year old self, he may still believe, but now eight years have passed, sixteen or seventeen teenagers where will still believe Shen Ke these casually coaxed the child to be happy words.

He is so busy every day, from the first day Lin Jian followed him, I have never seen him "not doing much", and how could someone like Shen Ke pay attention to the new bakery or flower store across the street from the office building?

Lin Jian felt one of his hearts beating wildly and irregularly once again. He opened his mouth, but could only ask in a mute whisper, "Why are you ...... you ......"

Why is it obvious that I have been covered with thorns all this time, all rushing to you without restraint, but you are still so good to me? Don't you get angry, don't you feel cold, don't you ...... blame me?

Embarrassed and ashamed, he couldn't say the latter words, but Shen Ke understood the unfinished business of his words at first glance.

Shen Ke mouth still hold a trace of light smile, still the same careless style, from the package out of the eight candles, in turn inserted in the cake, laughed: "sixteen weeks old, two eighteen years of ah Junior, for you to insert eight, just right, and the year when you came to the age of a number."

He took out a windproof lighter prepared in advance from his pocket, and under Lin Jian's silent but substantial gaze, he lit the candles one by one, before gently sighing and continuing, "Where are the many reasons, who's child at this age isn't naughty, you're enough to save people's heart."

Eight clusters of melting candles like beans, orange-red fire reflected in the teenager's clear and cold eyes, the pair of clear eyes are tinted with warmth, Shen Ke will be the cake held up in front of him, said, "Make a wish, blow out the candles."

Lin Jian long breath, like has been imprisoned in the heart around the circle of hard indifference of the heart defense by this light a few words abruptly shattered, a ground debris crumbs peeled off, revealing the original heart, beating real and vivid, dense, carved with a person's name.

What else do I wish for, he thought.

Young love, the most hot and turbulent, knowing that it is not possible to do, but to do, is my last lonely courage.

That's all.

Lin Jian gently closed his eyes and said in his heart, "I don't want my heart to be happy, I just want you to be happy and peaceful in this life."

"Well?" Shen Ke asked suddenly before opening his eyes.

"Uh ...... uh?" The soft cool touch from the side of the face a stroke and pass, Lin Jian open his eyes, and saw Shen Ke fingertips still stained with a bit of cream, hanging eyes smiled notoriously.

"...... childish." Lin Jian muttered under his breath, lifting his hand but then pausing, not wiping the bit of cream off his face after all.

Shen Ke cuts off a piece of the cupcake and hands it to him on a plate, and Lin Jian takes a bite, swallows it, and says, "It's delicious."

"How normal." Shen Ke smiled unimpressed, "The raw materials are all provided by the store, high quality imported milk from New Zealand, and the final taste and flavor has nothing to do with what I make."

Lin Jian laughed along with him before sighing softly and whispering, "This is the best birthday I've ever had."

Shen Ke did not expect him to suddenly become old enough to lament such a sentence, with a little surprise slightly raised eyebrows at him, but then told him softly, "No, you have to always have expectations of life, to remember, better will always be in the future waiting for you."

Lin Jian suddenly had palpitations.

He slowly turned his head and looked at the youth in front of him with a flat line of sight, those eyes that had always been cold and indifferent had hidden emotions at this time, and after a long period of silence, he suddenly said, "I thought that you would no longer be as kind to me as you were before, or teach me these truths that no one else had ever taught me before."

"Why?" Shen Ke's eyes reflected the quiet starlight, as deep as a deep sea of floating light, "Just because this period of time you are inexplicably rebellious, a rebel, even unreasonable?"

Lin Jian: "I ......"

Shen Ke interrupted him, "But so what? Besides, that's all you've got."

Lin Jian couldn't understand, "Isn't that too much?"

Shen Ke, however, smiled and said blandly, "I won't define excessive, just that these are just within my range of acceptance."

Lin Jian averted his eyes, inexplicably a heartbroken mess.

Shen Ke see this kind of pursed lips not say anything appearance, know that this child is beginning to blame himself, so sighed, did not hold back the hand owes, purred a handful of teenage hair top, said with a smile: "Well, just now is not said it, who's a child to the puberty did not have a little rebellious restlessness? Besides, your own heart is not quite a number, in addition to the occasional Za Za people, how to be excellent still how excellent, and other daily by the child worried to death than parents, I am not still should be considered to steal a smile of the type?"

Lin Jian was quiet for a few seconds, his eyes locked on a weed at his feet, and after a long silence, he suddenly whispered, "Not anymore."

No more struggling with yourself, no more being stuck on your own, and no more inexplicable pressure on you.

Shen Ke heart secretly released a long sigh, said can, this is not twisted.

"What is this?" Lin Jian suddenly remembered that there was still a birthday gift that had not been opened, and faithfully took that gift box over and put it on his lap, signaling the person next to him with his eyes, "I opened it?"

"Tear it down." Shen Ke's smile slackened, "It was originally yours anyway."

Unsure, Lin Jian suspiciously unwrapped the silk seal on the closure of the gift box, and after opening the box to see what was inside, his eyes widened slightly in disbelief.

Surprisingly, it is a beautifully bound collection of personal calligraphy.

It can be seen that some of the paper due to the age of some, the color has been slightly yellowed, Lin Jian thin white fingers gently turned over, there are copying imitation, there are also free writing, from the beginning of the penmanship of the tender, gradually become calm, each one is his hands over the years to write once.

When he first practiced calligraphy, Shen Ke had told him that words follow the heart and pen follows the mind, and that the practice of calligraphy is about the state of mind when writing, and that it doesn't matter if the writing is good or bad, and that there is no need to be overly restrictive, and that it's just a matter of having written it.

And Shen Ke himself is also this style, Lin Jian once saw him standing in front of a long case with a pen for a whole long night copying the Wheel of Fortune Sutra, such a handsome and dynamic strokes, the onlooker would have to secretly praise, but Shen Ke wrote before just a whim, and then write it is not taken seriously, casually skimmed off, do not treasure and does not appear to cherish.

Lin Jian has inherited Shen Ke's spontaneity in this regard, and so from childhood to adulthood, he has never cherished the ink he has written.

- - Just that he didn't expect it.

It turns out that someone in his unknowing, in the place where he can not see, will he write through the once all fine collection.

Shen Ke saw him hanging his head, eyes out of his mind in general has been falling on the book collection, can not help but laugh: "What, their own writing do not recognize?"

Lin Jian's voice was slightly muffled, and in the middle of the day, he asked in a low voice, "When are you ...... going to ......"

Shen Ke softly laughed: "not deliberately save, occasionally saw you throw the study on the hand put up only, did not expect so many years, but also collected such a large stack, just pick pick pick pick, write good to you framed, but also a souvenir."

Liar.

Lin Jian's fingertips trembled unnoticeably - casually? What kind of person would be so lucky as to pick it up casually from the age of eight or nine until last month?

It was clearly a habit that had settled in over the years.

Once he thought he was born as a duckweed, too heavy and deep attachments and ties in this life probably have no relationship with him, he was originally a thin kinship, should be unattached to a single person.

But I never thought that he had already been carefully treasured and placed in a proper place.

That person not only spared him the misery of displacement, spared him from having nowhere to live, but also placed those thoughts and treasures that he thought were out of reach, securely on him.

Lin Jian blinked his eyes, his heart suddenly clear and open, he looked up at Shen Ke and said, "Thank you, I like ...... really like it."

No more longing for the warmth and love of another, of anyone, you are hurting me right now, and then I have the love of the world.

The teenager was finally relieved.

So far, reconcile with the love of your heart.
