MTL - Hello, How Long Has This Been Going On?-Chapter 43

The soft words fell like clouds.

Huo Ran was stunned for at least five minutes before he recovered his voice.

Although the words are still incoherent.

"Can I put it here? I want to put it on the middle cabinet. Let me think about it and make a special cabinet again."

"No, it can't be put here, I should carry it with me, but the bottle is a bit big, I have to think about how to carry it."

Then he really stared at the big glass bottle and thought about it seriously.

Tao Zhiyue looked at his lowered eyes, and remembered the day when he first met Huo Ran, he walked out of the crowd in a suit and leather shoes, wearing a mask, only showing his heroic eyebrows, his temperament was outstanding, Looks like someone from another world.

And now, illuminated by the thin red sunset, and the distance between them is so close, all the extra flashy illusions have faded away, and there is only a sense of reality within reach.

"Put it here, I want to put it next to the straw hat." Tao Zhiyue interrupted him softly, thinking that he must be wandering.

"The environment here is very good, there are so many interesting collections next to it, and there are sycamore trees outside, this is the best place."

"And, this is the first memory in this room that doesn't just belong to you."

Hearing this sentence, Huo Ran, who was full of cranky thoughts, suddenly reacted, feeling a huge surprise in a dull way, and remembered the "I like you" that was buried in other sentences.

—I also want to bring you something you like, and then tell you that I like you, so that it will appear more sincere.

"so…"

He got stuck very rarely, with a silly expression and hopeful eyes.

Tao Zhiyue bravely accepted what he hadn't finished speaking.

"So, do you want to date me?"

In the unique museum in the world, he no longer blushes and flinches, because everything around him conveys the loveliness and beauty that can be seen in serious life, and it is filled with the experience and mood of the people in front of him on the colorful things. .

Surrounded by the softest and most realistic life, he has endless courage to face the unknown.

"I have never been in love. Before you, I have never liked others, and I have never tried to give to others because of love."

"Besides, I used to work very hard. Sometimes even my family and friends would ignore me, and I would ignore myself. That's not good. Now I won't, I will change it, and hope that I can no longer make the mistakes of the past."

"Maybe in the days to come, I will have a lot of things that are not good enough, but I will work hard to learn how to love someone, and I will definitely do my best."

"I am very serious when I am studying, I am very serious when I am working, and I am very serious when I am in love."

Tao Zhiyue reassured him casually.

Huo Ran looked at him, not daring to blink.

Words can't express one ten-thousandth, and finally he nodded vigorously, cherishing every word in his heart.

All the radiant objects around me became the invisible background.

It's a pity that the sky is getting dark, Tao Zhiyue has booked a plane for 8:00 in the evening, and should be ready to leave for the airport.

They walked out of the house together, the sky was like a fire, and the sycamore trees in the whole yard were dyed with burning gold.

During this long day, Tao Zhiyue listened to many stories told by Huo Ran, and always had an urge to tell him something in reverse.

However, his own past life was too barren and boring, and he couldn't find so many interesting things that sounded fun.

Now looking at the tree that Huo Ran planted specially for him, he suddenly remembered something from the past, so he couldn't help but want to speak.

That was the only thing that Tao Zhiyue ever wanted to share with others.

"A long time ago, I was working in a company one day. At that time, I shared a rented house with someone. The gas bill for the rental house ran out, and the gas card happened to be with me. This week it was my turn to pay the bill. I didn't have time, so I forgot."

"It was really busy that day. The project was going to be launched soon. I was so busy that I didn't even have time to go to the bathroom. But my roommate urged me to cook at noon in the group, so I had to sneak out in the morning and go to the bank by bike."

"I haven't ridden a bicycle for a long time. I was crooked. I always thought I would fall, so I didn't dare to vent my breath. I held the handlebar very nervously, and even threw away the code that I had been thinking about in my head."

"I was paying attention to the passing cars and the road ahead."

"It was autumn at that time, the sun was very bright, but it was not shining, the wind was warm and the air seemed to glow. There were plane trees on both sides of the road, which were very beautiful burnt yellow."

"When I passed under the tree, they floated down in front of my eyes, like countless butterflies flapping their wings."

Tao Zhiyue thought that when he picked up this incident from his memory and told it to others, he would uncontrollably want to cry.

But no, he narrated with a smile, with vivid eyebrows and eyes, Ren Riguang drew a gentle outline.

"That's great." Although his mind was still in a trance, Huo Ran listened attentively, "It's like a picture in a movie."

Then he added very positively: "My bicycle rides very well. Next time you want to ride a bicycle, I can watch you from the side. You will definitely not fall."

So Tao Zhiyue imagined that scene, and nodded: "Okay."

very nice.

That period of unshared memories finally has a port of anchorage.

Together with the carefully folded stars and the sycamore trees swaying in the wind, it is housed in the only museum in the world.

When Tao Zhiyue left here, he turned his head and stared deeply at this quiet and unique courtyard, trying to engrave every inch of the details in his heart.

Today is also one of the favorite days of his life.

Along the way they came, they took the bus and changed to the airport bus later.

When sitting side by side this time, Tao Zhiyue no longer felt that his hands had no place to rest.

Huo Ran was just the opposite, he was sitting beside him, without the ease and casualness before, Tao Zhiyue even saw the inconspicuous sweat on his forehead.

It was as if time had flown backwards.

There was a smile in Tao Zhiyue's voice: "Your forehead is sweating, is it very hot?"

Huo Ran froze, belatedly recalling the exact same conversation yesterday.

"...I'm so stupid." He said angrily, "I actually turned on the air conditioner."

"Are you nervous?" Tao Zhiyue recalled, "When you came to pick me up yesterday, you were not nervous all the way."

Huo Ran thought for a moment, then whispered in his ear.

"I think maybe it's because I haven't prepared myself mentally yet..."

"I think about how to make you happy every day, how to tell you what I want to say, and what should I do if you refuse."

"But I don't seem to have thought about what it will be like after success."

"So right now I'm kind of at a loss...I've never been in a relationship either."

The more Tao Zhi thought about it, he gave a decisive answer, "Then let's start with the most routine first step."

He stretched his left hand a little to the side, and calmly held Huo Ran's right hand.

Huo Ran's body temperature was very high, just like the scorching heat from that day.

Now his whole body trembled, and his right hand tightened subconsciously.

The moment they touched each other, it was like an electric current passed by, numb all the way to the heart.

Tao Zhi held back the embarrassment that was about to come up, and looked down, as if he was in an academic discussion: "Your hands are bigger than mine, is it because you are taller than me?"

His complexion is lighter than that of Huo Ran, who has been traveling all year round. Now that they are holding each other together, they can clearly reflect every line on each other's hands.

This was the first time he held hands with someone, and it was a strange feeling.

Tao Zhiyue's heart was beating violently, but there was no sign of it on his face, and he looked extremely calm.

"Your palms are sweating too, isn't it really hot?"

"I…might be."

"Do you want me to adjust the air conditioner? Are you still nervous?"

"...No need, it will be fine soon."

"Really?"

"Are you laughing at me?"

"I don't."

"I saw you smiling."

"It must be an illusion."

…

The car body vibrates slightly during driving, and most people standing or sitting are looking down at their mobile phones, and the occasional conversations of passengers traveling together can be heard next to their ears.

At some point, Huo Ran finally woke up from the trembling joy and calmed down his breathing.

He quietly changed the posture of holding hands.

In the slanting light of the setting sun, they interlocked their fingers.
