Salad Days

Bai Jinyi had a grand and beautiful dream. In the dream, he stood on the boxing ring he was most familiar with. Outside the rope was an endless golden wheat field. Bai Jinyi remembered that his mother had read a book with him when he was young. Books, golden wheat fields have foxes and roses.

He wanted to get out of the boxing ring, but was blocked by the rope. He raised his head, the sky was starlight above his head, and the brightest and biggest star was slowly falling towards him.

Bai Jin stretched out his hand in consciousness, so the star just fell into his arms and burned to his heart.

"..." When Bai Jin woke up, he clenched his fist in his right hand and pressed it against his heart. He gasped and heard a low roar in his ear. He felt like he was resting on a piece of autumn water, his nose The rice lingering in the sunshine is sweet.

The early morning in the countryside is quiet and plain, with only the occasional murmur of water flowing outside. Bai Jin sat up and looked down at his palm, Jiang Shen was not beside him.

Towels and toothbrushes were prepared in advance. Young Master Bai was so big that he brushed his teeth and washed his face in the open air yard for the first time. He squatted awkwardly under the faucet and frowned, always worrying about water splashing on his slippers.

The shallow coolness in October turned into mist in the mountains. Bai Jin washed his face, and when he looked up, he saw Jiang Shen walking into the courtyard with the thermos.

The two had a face-to-face meeting, and they were both stunned for a moment.

"Are you awake?" Jiang Shen said first. He was very shy, looked down and raised his ears, and his ears turned red, but he still stepped forward boldly and crouched next to Bai Jinyi. I will wash your towels."

Bai Jinyi handed him the towel, Jiang Shen rubbed the tap a few times, and watched Bai Jin wipe his face as he took it.

Bai Jin asked: "Where have you been?"

Jiang Shen mentioned the thermos: "Soybean milk made by Aunt Hua'er, let me get some."

Bai Jin nodded and did not speak again. He looked at Jiang Shen, and his heart grew hot.

Bai Jinyi ran his throat, reached out and grabbed Jiang Shen's fingertips, he said: "Jiang Shen, I..."

"Why did you get up so early?" Tan Lingling came out while brushing her hair, her voice clear, "I got the soy milk back?"

"Take it back." Jiang Shen quickly stood up.

Bai Jin felt that his palm was empty, and Jiang Shen's fingertips were gone. He shook his fist, frowning annoyedly.

Tan Lingling enthusiastically asked him: "Do you sleep well?"

Bai Jin nodded. He covered his slightly hot face with a cold towel and vaguely said: "Thank you aunt..."

Tan Lingling: "Oh, thank you, you're my son." She greeted the two of them to come in for breakfast. "I've baked some cakes for you, and then go out and play."

The two of them got up too early this time. The neighbors and their neighbors still depended on the bed and had nothing to do with their stomachs full. Jiang Shen could only take Bai Jinyi out to hang out again.

Tan Lingling still gave a handful of bits and pieces of sugar, and instructed: "Have fun, play casually, buy whatever you want."

That's what it says, but there is really nothing to buy in the countryside. There are so many fresh oranges and date fruit gardens. You can eat it yourself when you pick it. Jiang Shen climbed the tree and picked a few ripe reeds Orange, Bai Jinyi looked up at him underneath.

"Come down." The King of Fighters urged a few times, he felt like he couldn't do anything here, like a girl.

Jiang Shen lifted up a bag of clothes and slowly climbed down: "This is very sweet, you eat more."

As soon as Bai Jin reached out his hand, Jiang Shen hugged him down.

"Hey! My reed mandarin." Jiang Shen was half-held, and several reed mandarins rolled out of his clothes.

Bai Jin didn't let him go down in a hug: "No."

Jiang Shen struggled for a while, then gave up and said: "Okay."

Although the orange fell, Bai Jin didn't put anyone down. He held Jiang Shen out of the garden all the way. Jiang Shen peeled the peel of orange in his arms and broke it into Bai Jin's mouth. .

"Sweet?" he asked.

Bai Jin nodded: "Sweet."

Jiang Shen narrowed his eyes with a smile. He thought about coming down. Bai Jin let go reluctantly, whispering, "You are not heavy..."

Jiang Shen was not very embarrassed: "I am not a girl."

Bai Jin gave him a glance and said seriously, "I know you are not a girl."

Before that, Jiang Shen was actually unable to determine whether Bai Jinyi knew whether men could like men or not. His feelings were warm and simple. Even when he realized that he liked Bai Jinyi, he never regretted his pain.

Jiang Shen thought that it doesn't matter if Bai Jin doesn't like himself, he likes Bai Jinyi.

He likes so much to devote to a person. Bai Jin will be happy as soon as he is happy, and Bai Jin will be happy even if he is happy.

The two men finished picking citrus to climb the mountain. The mountains in the south were more hills than mountains, and the grassy areas were full of flowers.

Jiang Shen and Bai Jin lay on their backs in the sea of ​​flowers, and the sunlight fell on the faces of the two through the branches of the big tree.

Bai Jin suddenly said: "Little Swan."

Jiang Shen turned his head, he closed his eyes lazily and promised, "Huh?"

"I know you are a man." Bai Jinyi said suddenly, "I know that men can like men."

Jiang Shen opened his eyes, he watched Bai Jin turn to one side, and lay face to face with him.

"I'm not like you, I will only boxing, rude and not good-looking." Bai Jinyi said.

Jiang Shen refuted him softly: "No... you look good."

Bai Jin smiled, and he said helplessly: "You heard me finish."

Jiang Shen nodded and he calmed down.

Bai Jin's palm stems interlock with Jiang Shen's fingers, and his palms are sweaty.

"You are like a star in the sky to me." Bai Jin took a deep breath and he slowly said, "Then you fell from the sky and fell into my arms." He looked up and looked at Jiang Shen's eyes, "I want to hide you in my heart, don't know if you want it or not?"

Jiang Shen's eyes widened, and he was unable to respond for a while, until Bai Jinyi approached him.

The other party propped up his arms, lowered his head, his eyes fell on his face, the sun was blocked, the mottled shade was gone, Jiang Shen only felt warm on his lips, and Bai Jinyi's long lashes gently He scratched his eyelid.

He kissed him.

In the refreshing wind in the mountains, in the shadow of a halo, in the sea of ​​flowers.

Bai Jin pressed his lips and suddenly whispered: "Jiang Shen, for your sake, I can't go to America."

"..." Jiang Shen apparently hadn't recovered from the kiss just now. He blushed and asked subconsciously, "Why not go...?"

Bai Jin raised his eyebrows: "Aren't you willing to give me up?"

Jiang Shen: "I, I don't want you..." He was anxious and frowned, "But, but..."

Bai Jin held his head, he extended his fingers, pressed against Jiang Shen's lips, then leaned over and kissed each other's forehead, eyes, nose and cheeks bit by bit.

"I like you the most." Bai Jin grinned and smiled, "I love you, little swan."
