I wish to have years and years with you at twilight.

"It was the first snowfall of the following year when the renovation project was completed.

More than a year's work is not a short period for a private garden, which shows that the "landscaper" has paid attention to the smallest details.

The person who was "looking at the scenery" received such a grand and grand gift on his thirty-eighth birthday.

At that time, Lin Jian stood at the crossroads of the old and new calendars and dragged Shen Ke all the way up the mountain on foot.

Both of them, wearing long black coats and dark red knitted scarves, arrived at the entrance of the courtyard of the "Lok Fu Yuan" in the windy and chilly night air, when the lights of all the houses were brightest.

In the beginning, Shen Ke was allowed to come to the mountain to accompany designer Lin Jian, who was supervising the project, but as the project progressed, especially towards the end, Lin Jian refused to let him come back.

He wanted to preserve a euphoric mystery until Shen Ke's birthday, when he could reveal it himself.

Two pieces of trench coat corners whipped up by the night breeze rubbed and tangled together, pulling into a twisted light shadow on the ground infused with the fresh scent of flowers and trees.

Lin Jian took Shen Ke's hand and walked into the garden, starting from the rockery and pavilion at the entrance, bypassing the jagged and exquisite stalagmite clusters on both sides, traveling to the two flower pavilions in the garden that covered a large area, and then walking through the cold plums and bamboos with dark fragrance and shadows, Shen Ke suddenly stopped his footsteps.

In front of me is a monument pavilion, in the middle of a long corridor across, the corridor corners are full of small and simple copper bells, the wind whisked, brittle sound. On both sides of the corridor, there are small and large monuments of different sizes and heights, and from a distance, they are different and interesting.

Shen Ke glanced at the man beside him, while Lin Jian, with a little smile at the corner of his mouth, lifted his chin toward the monumental forest and gestured, "Going to take a look?"

Just now, all the way here, it was always Lin Jian who was holding his hand, and at this moment, Shen Ke held his hand in a backhanded grip, wrapped Lin Jian's five fingers in his palm, and said warmly, "Good."

Starting from the first engraved tablet, Shen Ke looked through it piece by piece, walking along the corridor until it reached the end, hearing the water stirring from the waterfall not far away, and only then slowly stood still.

On each of the stone tablets, there is a strong writing style, and each stroke is the fragrance of the ink that Shen Ke once wrote with his own hands.

Lin Jian had these words and the past in ink engraved for him.

Shen Ke lowered his eyes and rested them longingly on each stroke of each character, rubbing them slightly with his fingertips for a long time before saying softly, "This part of the construction wasn't in the original design."

Lin Jian bent her eyes a bit and returned, "Well, it was Lin's design whim."

Half a second later, he asked, "Do you like it?"

How could Shen Ke not like it?

As his fingertips skimmed over every horizontal fold and apostrophe on the tablet, he could almost imagine how Lin Jian, holding a knife in his hand, engraved all the pure thoughts he had once written on it, and preserved them with a kind of resilience that defied the winds and rains, and kept them securely in place.

After a long time, Lin Jian slightly shook his hand, which was held in Shen Ke's palm, and said, "It's not over yet, you come with me."

Shen Ke's eyes were warm and deep as water, and he let Lin Jian guide him towards another surprise.

They passed through the word monument corridor, walked to the end of the long green stone steps, into the eyes of a lake stone stacked down three tiers of waterfalls, below the abyss, the upper lead to the living water, the forest and rocks circling, embedded in the sky is exquisite. Although the water in the pond is not deep, but the flow direction is winding, perfectly hidden in the waterfall and spring in the flowers and trees.

This is the essence of garden design, the beauty of the landscape, into the eyes and heart.

And in the back side of this waterfall, and cut a long and narrow secluded waterway, the depths of the gurgling water, Lin Jian actually had the ingenuity to build a two-tiered cabin of the stone boat here!

Above the beams and pillars of the stone structure of the ship were erected ancient wooden doors and windows, Shen Ke was pulled by Lin Jian to board the ship from the shore, and walked to the cabin on the second floor, Lin Jian pointed to the distant hall tower which they had not yet been to, and said, "Look, from this stone boat, you can see there at a glance."

Shen Ke's eyes sank, the bottom of his eyes held a winter mist-like smile as he asked, "Designer Lin, is there anything to say?"

"Well ...... sort of have it." Lin Jian retracted his eyes from the distance, turned to look at Shen Ke, speaking mouth exhaled a warm mist, his expression is still clear and light, but the bottom of his eyes but the same hidden a little bit of sporadic mirth, said to Shen Ke: "I remember when I was very young, you took me to read the history of ancient sculpture, told me that the stone boat, also known as the untied boat, refers to the freedom of the untethered, but also a metaphor for wandering without a fixed place. It refers to being free and unattached, and is also a metaphor for being adrift without a fixed place."

"At the time, I thought it was like a metaphor for my life."

"But now ......" Lin Jian voice slightly pause, like a moment of hesitation and then abruptly release general, loose tone and certainty said: "I will be such a stone boat, moored in your private garden. "

It's like many, many years ago when you led me home with nowhere to live.

Give me the warmth of a warm room, grant me silent refuge, and give me peace in this life.

It is like a flat boat with one leaf, finally found the ferry to stay long.

That's why I'm using the scenery as a metaphor to send this bright heart-

Even if I am not tied to a boat, the rest of my life is only in the place where you wander in vain.

You are that home at the end of my wanderings.

Shen Ke's eyes moved slightly, and he could hear all the words Lin Jian had said and had not said.

The youth in front of him was clearly as cold as a mountain stream, but as long as his eyes were directed at him, they were always soft and submissive.

"Lin Jian. "After a long time, Shen Ke suddenly shouted his name, his voice was calm and gentle, like this deep winter eon moon, "You don ...... t have to be so favorably pampered to me. "

"What kind of pampering is this?" Lin Jian was stunned for a moment, then slowly smiled away and reminded him, "I'm not even close to being as pampered as you are."

"...... Little Uncle." Lin Jian glanced up at his wristwatch and whispered to him as the hour and minute hands rejoined at the very center-

"Happy Birthday, may it be years and years of twilight with you."

*

After the Chinese New Year holiday, Lin Jian officially started working for "UFH", a design company registered in Mainland China, which has become a newcomer and a leader in the industry in just a few years since its inception.

The new company is nearly an hour's drive from her home in Nan Cheng, a commute that is well within Lin Jian's reach in the highly developed modern city, and she doesn't find it troublesome to commute every morning and evening.

And, a life where you get to go home every day is bound to be regular and ironic.

Even more coincidentally, one day, a few months after Lin Jian started working, he received a call from Xu Yang, who told him that he had just started working on a costume drama, and that one of the filming locations was in a film and TV base on the outskirts of the city where Lin Jian was currently working.

So on a warm and sunny Saturday in spring, Lin Jian gathered Chairman Shen, who was going to cozy up at home with him, and set off on a trip to visit his class.

They say it's a visit, but neither Lin Jian nor Shen Ke has had such experience before - after all, the sub-dimensional wall between the entertainment industry and ordinary people's lives is still too thick - and it's only when the two of them park their cars in the parking lot on the outskirts of the film and TV base that they realize that things aren't quite as simple as they thought they'd be.

This foundation, it's huge.

Resident crew. That's a lot.

Not only the various crews stationed at the base for filming, but during the holidays, there are even more tourists than the actors and actresses at the base apparently.

They followed the crowd and pushed their way in a little bit, Lin Jian, who was walking on the inside, was a little bit lost in the situation.

Doesn't the news always say that ...... crews generally do a good job of keeping their shoots secret?

But according to the current situation, the Internet often see a certain drama team to send a lawyer's letter to denounce the "clandestine roadshow" plot, really is not the behavior of self-degradation of wisdom?

It's hard not to be seen in this crowded spectacular scene, isn't it?

Not to mention that this movie and TV base is supposed to be a scenic spot in the area.

It's no wonder Xu Yang once said, "The entertainment industry is good at blowing itself up, and for people in the industry, heat is worth more than facts."

Lin Jian With the crowd also step by step, occasionally next to the rampage, not paying attention will also stagger feet, although he did not say anything, but the corners of the mouth is always gently pursed, but the face is getting cold.

Suddenly, the hand hanging down at his side was gripped by someone, Lin Jian was first stunned for a moment, and then his slightly surprised gaze moved up the arm to the face of the person next to him.

"You know, there's an old Chinese saying that takes the edge off everything that's blocking you at the moment."

Because of the dense surroundings are swimmers, so Shen Ke spoke slightly inclined his head, the corner of the lips on Lin Jian's ear is very close to the place, warm breath sprinkled down, Lin Jian could not help but raise his hand to rub his ears, before coldly asked: "...... what words?"

Shen Ke smiled, holding his hand and moving forward pleasantly slow, "Come what may."

Lin Jian: "......"

It wasn't until the two had passed through the most crowded entrance passage with the large group and entered the central plaza of the base that the air around them began to flow through.

Although this side of the square was not as crowded as the entrance, but there were still people coming and going from one shoulder to the other, but Shen Ke just took Lin Jian's hand but never let go, as if no one was there, walking through the sea of people.

After a few moments, Lin Jian somewhat uncomfortably shook their interlocked hands and whispered a reminder, "...... It's okay, it's crowded."

Shen Ke inclined her head at him in the warm spring sunshine and replied with a soft "hmmm" and a smile, "Yes, so hold on to it a little tighter so I don't have to go to the children's bureau later to put up a missing person's notice."

Lin Jian: "......"

Bad taste!

Although his heart was spitting, the hand that was clasped with him was never drawn back.

Shen Ke held him like this, in the midst of the bustle of the crowd, in full view of the sun, through the crowd.

It seems like you can go anywhere Lin Jian wants to go.

Finally, they circled around the base, following the directions Xu Yang had sent them in advance, and eventually found the crew that Xu Yang had been working on in a side hall that had been set up.

There were a lot of crews on the set, and outside the inner shooting circle there was already a crowd of fans holding up their cell phones to record their idols, Lin Jian and Shen Ke stood on the periphery of the circle, and with just a glance, they found Xu Yang surrounded by a group of crews, relying on their outstanding height.

He was wearing a waist-length hairpiece and was sitting in a chair with his head slightly raised and eyes closed, letting the makeup artist touch up his makeup while the executive director whispered the scene in his ear.

The youth side face is clear and fair, a red gauze brocade coat, wide sleeves surplus wind, more and more appear handsome and dusty, even with a few points of fairy misty illusion.

Xu Yang was in the middle of his work, so Lin Jian and the others didn't interrupt him, but stood among the crowd and quietly watched him go to his next scene.

Lin Jian had not heard Xu Yang talk about this script before, and naturally did not know what kind of scene it was, but from Xu Yang and the rival actresses' emotions and line dialogues, it seems that ...... there is a little bit of sadistic love and hatred of the sea and sky flavor.

In the center of the room, Xu Yang, dressed in red, is determined to break through the door, ignoring the tears of the female number one standing across from him.

Female No. 1 stumbled in front of Xu Yang, and her line said, "I know that you are a free man in the world, and you have your own heaven and earth in your heart, so why do you have to get involved in this treacherous dynastic strife? Don't you love freedom the most - then don't go, OK?"

Xu Yang heard a little silence, and then lightly answered: "The sky is wide, free and uninhibited, is indeed what I seek in this life, but life in the world, there is always more valuable than the free and easy, the world ultimately belongs to whom I do not care about the hands of the country will be a country of the people suffer, Chu can not sit back and watch, after all ... ... the people are innocent? After all... the people are innocent?"

When he finished speaking, he gently pressed one of Female One's arms, looked at her with a withdrawn and clear heat, and said in a deep voice, "If there is still a way back from this trip, I will come to you, and from now on the mountains and the water will never fail to meet each other, and if I don't return once I'm gone--"

Female One despaired, "How about ......?"

Red Xu Yang Mouth raised a deep and cruel smile, said softly: "You will then forget me clean and painful ...... from now on, and do not even stay hate in me this lonely ghost, because ...... hate is more permanent than love, more permanent. "

With that, he turned around and walked away!

"Chu Er, you asshole!" Female Number One hissed, her emotions immediately topping the peak, and in an instant, she said to one of the guards beside her, "Stop him, stop him for me!"

The guards around him were silent and tall, and upon hearing the Sheriff's instructions, they immediately attacked Xu Yang's left shoulder from behind!

But "Chu Er" at this time reaction is called God speed, in that heavy palm will be away from his shoulder half inch when, openly turned around, ahead of the shot, a palm strike in the heart of the guards wearing soft armor!

"Well!"

"Cut!"

With Xu Yang's sudden cry of pain, the director behind the monitor shouted a sharp stop.

Lin Jian s eyebrows jumped, and then a clamor of clamor came from the surrounding crowd.

Blood dripped and spilled from Xu Yang's white and slender fingers, dripping down her wrist bone to the ground - it was the backhanded blow on the guard's soft armor just now that had accidentally scratched the sharp brass ornaments hanging on her costume, cutting her palm.

A circle of people quickly gathered around Xu Yang, and Lin Jian furrowed his brows and said to Shen Ke, "I'll go take a look."

He wasn't far from Xu Yang's position, a few steps away, but someone else was moving faster than he was--

The guard just now rushed to Xu Yang's side in an arrow step, holding the injured wrist, his face anxious and panicked, "Where is it hurt, show me!"

"It's fine it's fine ...... " Xu Yang Ming has already hurt so much that her face is white, and she doesn't know whether she is saying it to the guards or to the people around her, stacking her voice to comfort, "It really doesn't matter, just put some medicine on it ah. "

"Hey, this strong man, what are you doing!" Unexpectedly, after hearing him say this, the guard who had been full of anxious eyes actually paused, and then directly took Xu Yang from the ground with a copy of the leg bend, picked him up horizontally, and raised his voice to the director behind him, "Director Zhang, I'll take Mr. Xu to deal with the wound!"

"Go go go!" The director quickly waved his hand at him, signaling.

"Not buddy ...... hey this big special classmates ......" Xu Yang probably grew up so big has not been such a public hug, a time actually a little at a loss, yelled. "I'm sorry to bother you hey! Your brother Xu hurt my hand, not my foot! Let's just say it's not that bad!"

"Shut up!" Who would have expected the youth holding him to let out a deep, low rebuke, a single sentence that roared Xu Traffic into confusion.

"Let's be quiet and go take a look." Lin Jian looked at the back of the two turning into the backfield, softly beckoned to Shen Ke, pulled the person silently out of the crowd, and also walked over in the direction of the backfield.

Outside the backfield lounge, the door labeled "Xu Yang" was wide open.

With a room full of doctors, field workers and assistant directors, Lin Jian and Shen Ke were stopped by the cast and crew when they reached the door before entering.

"I'm sorry, no fans allowed in the backstage, you two-"

Before she finished speaking, Xu Yang, who was surrounded by a group of people, inclined her head towards the door at the sound of the voice, and when she saw the visitor clearly, she immediately shouted in surprise, "Xiao Wu, you quickly let them in, it's my friend!"

Lin Jian and Shen Ke were then allowed to come to the side of the popular first-tier traffic star, who is now hard to meet.

The doctor accompanying the team disinfected and bandaged the cut on Xu Yang's hand, gave him a tetanus shot, and left after giving him a few precautions.

After the doctor left, Xu Yang waved his hand to the room full of people, smiled and said: "Everyone quickly scattered ah, I have nothing, quickly do what you do to do, do not let the squatting of the paparazzi saw it, the blindly say that my crew play a big brand."

Seeing that he really wasn't in any serious condition, the people huddled in the room gave him a few words of instruction before leaving Xu Yang's rest room.

As the door closed, Xu Yang's idol persona, which had just been so calm and steady, immediately collapsed, and she was instantly revealed in front of her best friend, exclaiming excitedly, "I thought you'd come to see me in a couple of days! I didn't expect to come today, I Lin ah! How much do you miss me?!"

"Chairman Shen is actually here!" Xu Yang said without any excitement. Xu Yang, without fail, said, "I've got too much face!"

"Hello." Shen Ke greeted with a smile, then looked at Xu Yang's left hand wrapped in medical gauze and said, "After all, the conditions on the set are limited, so if it's convenient, it's safer to go to the hospital."

"Why not?" Xu Yang said, "I'm afraid by the time I get to the hospital, this wound will have healed."

Although he was careless and didn't care about it, Lin Jian saw it clearly when the crew doctor bandaged it just now, it was indeed a deep wound, so he frowned and reminded, "Don't try to be brave."

"Really no ...... hey?" Xu Yang said halfway, suddenly saw the silhouette that had been standing in the corner of the room, startled for a moment, surprised, "Why are you still here?"

It's the "guard" from earlier.

When the other party heard Xu Yang ask this, his dark eyes moved before he took the initiative to walk over and said in a deep voice, "Teacher Xu, I'm afraid that if you hurt your hand, it will be inconvenient for you, I can take over for you, after all, this injury is because of me."

"What kind of words are these?" Xu Yang froze, and then curled the ends of her eyes and smiled, "It's obviously because I didn't look at the right place when I hit you, so what's it got to do with you? Stop blaming yourself and do what you need to do!"

"Then you--"

"No need for you." Xu Yang pointed at Lin Jian with his right hand, which was not injured, and joked with a smile, "See, brother, this personal ferromagnet has come to my door, if there's anything I need to do, I'll just call him."

Only then did the "guard" slowly turn his head and give Lin Jian a very deep look.

Lin Jian's light eyes quickly flicked back and forth between him and Xu Yang before raising an eyebrow thoughtfully.

"...... Okay, I'll see you in your room later then."

After the "guards" left, Xu Yang dragged Lin Jian into the lounge for a long time, until the restaurant delivered the lunch Shen Ke had ordered in advance for the whole cast and crew, and only then did he stop his blathering.

The visit began with Xu Yang's hand injury and ended with Xu Yang's tired mouth, and it was nearly evening before Lin Jian and Shen Ke bid him farewell and walked out of the set.

"Hey! Buddy!" Standing at the door of the lounge, Xu Yang suddenly called out to Lin Jian.

Lin Jian turned around and asked with a little smile, "Any other orders?"

"Nothing." Xu Yang leaned against the doorframe in a lazy, wanton manner, looked at him, then at Shen Ke beside him, and suddenly said, "From now on, you'll have to stay like this!"

Be happy forever and ever and ever.

Lin Jian was stunned for two seconds, catching his meaning, and then after a pause, he told him with the same smile, "Don't just worry about me, you do too."

"Xu Yang, take pity on the person in front of you."

"Huh? What do you mean, which has the person in front of me?" Xu flow slightly straightened his stance, first stunned incomprehension, eyes on the opposite side of the two respectively played back and forth, gradually become complex and difficult, "I rely on ...... not it, quite generous ah ...... "

"......"

No matter how many years have passed, Lin Jian is still often impressed by the surprisingly evolving brain circuits of Xu traffic.

But he said no more, except to glance slightly at Shen Ke, who understood and smiled at him very faintly.

"...... lean, playing dumb riddles ah, in front of buddies you two play what the heart of the heart it." Xu Yang looked at the two people in front of him with a look of "I understand you", half spitting, half lamented ---

"But ...... sometimes I'm kind of envious of your condition of running in both directions ...... uh, love."

"Don't be poor, let's go." Lin Jian waved his hand and said in a faint voice, "I'll come back to send you flowers to congratulate you on the day you killed the movie."

They said goodbye to their best friend and walked out of the theater shooting location.

Outside the film base, the sun was already setting, and under the orange-colored sunset, Shen Ke naturally took Lin Jian's hand again and asked, "Is there anywhere else you'd like to go?"

"No more." Lin Jian doesn't move and slightly tightens the fingers that are interlocked with his, and replies, "Go home."

Shen Ke then smiled softly and led him into the depths of the colorful afterglow.

"Okay, let's go home."
