Xingzhui Island ([-])
"Don't we look like when Meggie and Ralph were on Matlock Island?" Wen Gui said suddenly as he walked beside Pei Zhigu.
After their conversation about the Hainu Niangniang Temple, they continued to walk along the lover's dam for a section of plank road after section of plank road.Do nothing, just look at the surrounding scenery.
Pei Zhigu replied casually: "But we are not that unlucky."
Wen Gui smiled and did not refute: "That's true."
[Pure passer-by, is this flirting? 】
[It should be, but I have no culture, I can't understand what they are talking about orz]
[Matlock Island! !Wen Gui really has you (tears)]
The lover’s dam in the general sense is very long, not limited to the vicinity of the reef group, but continues to extend to the left and right along the reef for a long distance, and even the entire sea area can be collectively called the lover’s dam .
After Wen Gui and Pei Zhigu came out of the mission point, they walked unhurriedly along the long plank road by the sea.
They walked forward, looking somewhat aimless, not in a hurry to rush to the next location, and not in a hurry to calculate how to be more cost-effective.
Now is the time when the sun is just beginning to rise in the morning. The white sandy beach is brightly illuminated by the sun, and the sea level in the distance is like a straight line. Recently, the wind has been calm and the cloudy days are rare.There are seabirds flying over the water by the sea, and tourists standing in the shallow water picking up shells can be seen under the plank road.
Wen Gui and Pei Zhigu stood by the sea, the wind passed by them, and the sultriness and coolness existed contradictory in this gust of wind.
Xingchui Island is surrounded by the sea, and it is the same clean and clear blue as far as the eye can see.
The sun shines across the sea, casting one rippling shadow after another on the white sandy bottom.
Wen Gui leaned against the wooden railing of the plank road, with both elbows resting on the railing, he raised his head, enjoying the quietness and leisure that was different from Zhonghai City.
He looked at Pei Zhigu's soft profile.
Pei Zhigu's facial features are far less sharp than his. Even if he has used countless metaphors, he still wants to describe him with jade carvings or ceramics. The delicate and appropriate feeling erases the daunting feeling. The aggressiveness is replaced by a quiet alienation.
Wen Gui raised his hand to touch his earlobe.
On Pei Zhigu's left earlobe, there was a small and not obvious trace of piercing.
Wen Gui touched the pierced ear that seemed to have healed for a long time, and asked, "Actually, I've always been curious, Professor Pei, do you actually go for ear piercing too?"
Obviously, he seems to be the kind of good student who was superficially well-behaved in his school days.
But it doesn't rule out that it's just a call at work.
Wen Gui touched his earlobe and thought to himself.
The ear piercing was indeed not obvious enough, and Pei Zhigu had never worn earrings, if Wen Gui hadn't taken the initiative to mention it, most of the audience in the live broadcast room would not have even noticed it.
【Is there a pierced ear?】
[Because there is only one, I always thought it was a wound or something]
[I'm sorry I'm even more blind, I didn't even see omg after smelling it and touching it]
Pei Zhigu felt a little uncomfortable being touched by him, and tilted his head slightly, avoiding Wen Gui's hand.Wen Gui's hand was suddenly empty, and he twirled his fingertips with unsatisfied interest, and then asked, "When did you hit him? After work?"
Pei Zhigu didn't know why he suddenly asked this.
Because this ear piercing was indeed too long ago, if Wen Gui hadn't mentioned it suddenly, he would have almost forgotten that he had had an ear piercing before.
Looking back now, it seems that this ear piercing was done during the summer vacation when he was in the third year of junior high school, and Zhuo Yuan took him to get it done together.
He didn't quite remember what kind of reason Zhuo Yuan used at that time, maybe it was because he bought a pair of earrings for a couple, hoping to wear them with him...
In fact, he refused at first, but Zhuo Yuan kept begging him, and after several times, he let go.He remembered that it was very hot that day when he went to get the earrings done, and he only felt a little numb the moment the earring gun passed through his earlobe.
Zhuo Yuan kept saying beside him, look, I told you I wouldn't lie to you, it doesn't hurt at all, right?
He said nothing, probably nodded.
He only promised Zhuo Yuan that one side of the ear was pierced, on the left ear lobe.
As for later...
Pei Zhigu thought about it a little distractedly.
Later, I don’t know if it was because I was allergic to the nail gun or because the disinfection was not thorough enough. The newly pierced ear became swollen after returning home, and it took about a week for the inflammation to slowly recover.During the period, Zhuo Yuan came to him to apologize, and hugged him full of guilt and said sorry.
Now that I think about it, maybe this is a bad omen.
In fact, he never doubted that Zhuo Yuan really liked him, at least at that time.
But in the end, he couldn't put on the pair of earrings with Zhuo Yuan, because when his pierced ears were completely healed, the earrings fell into an unknown corner.
Until later, he broke up with Zhuo Yuan, and he threw away the earrings Zhuo Yuan gave him and never wore them again.
Thinking about it this way, more than ten years have passed in a blink of an eye.
Pei Zhigu raised his hand to touch his earlobe, and he could still feel a little pain where his index finger and thumb kneaded.
He was silent for a moment to recall these memories that were too long ago.
Wen Gui was not in a hurry, but just waited quietly.Although he was a little concerned about this matter, if Pei Zhigu didn't want to say it, he wouldn't force him.
Just when Wen Gui was about to change the subject and bring this matter to the past, Pei Zhigu suddenly spoke.
He put down his hand, and said to Wen Gui in a calm tone: "It's been a long time, he took me to fight when I was 15 years old."
After finishing speaking, he paused for a while, and then slowly added: "But I haven't worn earrings for a long time."
counts as an explanation.
Wen Gui naturally knew what Pei Zhigu meant by these words, it was nothing more than comforting him, telling him that it doesn't matter, don't worry about it, the previous things have passed...
"I know." Wen Gui smiled, "It doesn't matter."
fake.
"But Professor Pei has worn it before." Wen Gui tried his best to restrain his tone, so that his voice would not sound too mean, he said, "It must be beautiful. It's really enviable."
He cared like hell.
Pei Zhigu vaguely felt that there was something in Wen Gui's words, and even though he acted very naturally, Pei Zhigu still caught a little sour clue.
He couldn't help but sighed softly in his heart, and asked, "What do you want to do again?"
According to his understanding of Wen Gui during this period of time, Wen Gui was probably just jealous again.
It's hard for him, he can still take a bite of the old vinegar after so many years.
Pei Zhigu thought silently.
But he has said so, Wen Gui will naturally not let go of such a good opportunity to make a request to Pei Zhigu.
In fact, he didn't care about who Zhuo Jin and Zhuo Yuan took Pei Zhigu to get the ear piercing. What he cared about was that Zhuo had seen Pei Zhigu wear earrings, and he and Pei Zhigu were married. He hadn't seen it for five years.Maybe Pei Zhigu wears the one he picked out, maybe Pei Zhigu likes it too, maybe others say they are a good match, maybe...
Maybe he even helped Pei Zhigu put it on himself.
Tsk, it's annoying.
Wen Gui looked at Pei Zhigu's earlobe, and jealousy towards Zhuo Yuan suddenly arose in his heart.
It's just that he has long been used to hiding his emotions in front of Pei Zhigu, the more jealous he is, the stronger the smile on the surface.
He leaned beside Zhigu Pei, looked at him with a smile, and said unhurriedly, "Actually, I'm a little jealous, Professor Pei."
"It would be nice if I could get to know you earlier. It's a pity that I missed so many pasts related to you. Did it hurt when you got your ears pierced? Did you get any inflammation later? What kind of earrings did he prepare for you? Zhizhi, this is not fair, I want to see too..."
"If I said I wanted to give you a stud earring, would you wear it?"
Wen Gui paused, and looked deeply at Pei Zhigu, his voice was very low, very low, very slow, very slow.
"Would you?" he asked again.
"Pei Zhigu, can you?"
