Dense Fog

Chapter 68

A nighthawk that flew from nowhere, fell lightly on the eaves of the window, and screamed “Tower, Tower, Tower”, like a night elves breaking into the quiet darkness.

The tundra wolf in the house came over after hearing the reputation.

It was too late for Lin Wu and Wang Ye to run. The two classmates who were observing secretly faced the tundra wolf’s eyes directly across the glass.

The air was suddenly quiet.

Lin Wu subconsciously pulled Wang Ye back, a little bit away from the window, the pace and rhythm were exactly the same as when he met the bear.

As the distance gets farther, the situation inside the window becomes more and more blurred.

In the last second when the scene in the room completely disappeared from the field of vision, Lin Wu seemed to see the tundra wolf picking up the clothes on the other side of the kang, neatly folded.

Not long after, the door opened from the inside and Tao Qiran, who turned back into a human form, walked out, wearing that suit.

So Brother Zhao Li not only remodeled the door, but also prepared his brother-in-law’s clothes at any time so that he could change it when he came back?

Lin Wujing thought about these and none, but when he recovered, Tao Qiran gently closed the door and came to him.

“Why are you two here?” Tao Qiran tilted his head suspiciously, looking at the eyes of Lin Wu and Wang Ye, as if they had come out of thin air. As for being peeped, I don’t care at all.

“It’s not just the two of us…” Lin Wu glanced at the direction of the guest room with a complicated expression, “There is still a room over there.”

Tao Qiran never wronged his curiosity. He immediately turned around and walked out of the guest room window, looking in with his face against the glass. Unlike Lin Wu and Wang Ye just now, he peeped that it was an upright and frank and open.

Tao Qiran turned around confusedly after seeing the classmates from one kang to one place, “What’s the matter?”

His voice was very low and soft, and he obviously didn’t want to disturb anyone, no matter which room it was in.

Lin Wu glanced at Wang Ye with some embarrassment. He really didn’t know where to start with Tao Qiran: “It’s a long story…”

“It’s not a long story,” Wang Ye said indifferently. “I ran here by myself first.” He raised his chin in the two directions of Lin Wu and the guest room, “They come and look for me.”

Tao Qiran blinked, and then was happy: “You are quite popular.”

Wang Ye was surprised by the other’s indifferent reaction: “Is this over?”

No matter how small he is, he knows that what he said just now is so general that it can’t be more general. This is the fact that seven or eight people are not in the school class, and suddenly come to Changbai Mountain. Is it because everyone has to be curious about the ins and outs?

Tao Qiran was stunned by Wang Ye’s rhetorical question. After a while, he nodded clearly: “I found you now. Do you plan to stay here for a while or go back together as soon as possible?”

… is for you to dig deeper, not for you to ask for follow-up.

Wang Ye raised his eyebrows slightly, and for the first time realized the subtle difference in Tao Qiran’s body.

Rather than saying that this man is like a wolf, it is more like the wind, a light and free being. You don’t know where he will blow, and you will never be able to catch him.

“We’ll be back tomorrow,” Lin Wu said, thinking of Zhao Li’s waiting, couldn’t help asking, “Uncle, how long will you stay in the wooden house this time?”

Tao Qiran smiled mischievously at him: “If I hadn’t seen you, I would have gone now.”

“Now?” Lin Wu was stunned, “You just came back…”

“It will be discovered after too long.” Tao Qiran was serious.

Lin Wu was completely at a loss: “Uncle, what are you doing?”

“Why are you stupid?” Tao Qiran frowned slightly, but his eyes were full of doting and tolerance. “You can’t tell if you are missing?”

Lin Wu: “But why do you want this?”

Tao Qiran sighed, “Only in this way, your stubborn brother Zhao Li can go down the mountain.”

Lin Wu became a little angry. Maybe it was because he felt sorry for Zhao Li too much, or because he was angry about his brother-in-law’s willfulness: “Then why did you promise him to go up the mountain?”

Oh, I promised well at the beginning, but now I want to go to the forest by myself, and I want to kick people down the mountain again?

Wang Ye didn’t want to interrupt at first, but when he heard this, he also felt that Tao Qiran wanted to stay close: “If you want him to go, you can just tell him no.”

Tao Qiran’s smile faded, and his eyes calmed down, like the moonlight in the gauze.

“If my words are effective, he won’t even be able to go up to the mountain. Now he should be in the coffee shop and continue to live his own life.”

Both Wang Ye and Lin Wu were stunned.

What does this mean? Does Tao Qiran disagree with Zhao Li leaving everything behind and going up the mountain? That’s why I didn’t return for longer and longer, and wanted to let Zhao Li leave…

The two suddenly realized that they might have entered a misunderstanding of thinking.

Because Zhao Li was too late to be a beast, they took Zhao Li for granted as “no need to ask,” let alone a white point, an implicated person Tao Qiran followed his inner actions.

But maybe it was wrong from the beginning.

It was Zhao Li who made the decision.

It was not Tao Qiran who tied him to this mountain forest or this wooden house. On the contrary, Zhao Li was the one who pulled Tao Qiran into the forest, the only thread.

The distant mountains and forests suddenly heard the roar of some kind of beast, and “pounced” started to startled the birds resting in the forest.

Tao Qiran quickly raised his head and looked at the birds flying across the sky. He raised his index finger and pressed it to his lips: “Hush–”

This action was innocent and childish.

Not to mention thousands of miles away, even if the birds are above them, it is impossible to listen to Tao Qiran’s words.

But when the birds were gone, the echo of the forest gradually dissipated.

Tao Qiran nodded in satisfaction, and the corners of his eyebrows with a light smile were as gentle as moonlight.

At this moment, Lin Wu suddenly felt strange envy.

Tao Qiran really integrated himself in this mountain. He never worried whether his language would be understood by birds. He was part of this vast sea of ​​forests, a wolf, a bird, a forest, a stream, and nature itself. .

Under gentleness, his beliefs are as deep as the ocean.

Obviously he could be beastly, but Lin Wu was still confused. He wished he could have such a day, clearly knowing what he wanted and what he wanted to pursue, and for this reason, he insisted on forward.

The night wind returned to silence.

Tao Qiran’s gaze fell back to Lin Wu and Wang Ye.

“Let Lin Wu save some snacks,” he said to Wang Ye first, deliberately straining his face, with a little dissatisfaction in his low voice, “Don’t run around on impulse.”

“…” Wang Ye’s brows were almost knotted, and he felt that every word needed to be refuted, but he couldn’t justify himself for a while.

Tao Qiran turned to Lin Wu after nagging the troublemaker, his expression softened, and even a little pitiful: “Don’t tell Zhao Li that I have come back.”

Lin Wu wanted to nod his head very much, but—

His gaze crossed Tao Qiran’s shoulders, looking in the direction of Zhao Liwu, his eyes gradually complicated.

Tao Qiran frowned and knew it all.

“Can’t run away.” He exhaled like a sigh, and slowly turned back.

At the door of the main house, Zhao Li stood silently under the eaves, no one knew how long he had been out.

He fixedly looked at this side, his eyes darker than night.

The moon seemed to have been washed by rain during the day, and it was exceptionally clear.

Zhao Li’s intensity, which has always been deep in his eyes, almost broke through the night.

Tao Qiran was turning around, quietly hiding all the sincere, heavy, and reluctant things, just like he had never been by the bed, never treated anyone as a treasure.

“Why do you sleep so lightly, you have to wake up at the slightest movement.” When facing Zhao Li, Tao Qiran only complained willful on his face.

“If I don’t wake up, when are you going to tell me?” Zhao Li said, with a gloomy husky.

“Huh?” Tao Qiran pretended to be stupid, blinking his innocent eyes, “tell what?”

Wang Ye knew who Lin Wu had learned about pretending to be innocent.

Zhao Li glanced at Lin Wu and Wang Ye. He obviously didn’t want to discuss with Tao Qiran publicly: “Go into the room and say.”

Tao Qiran didn’t respond for a moment, nor did he move his feet.

Zhao Li’s expression has not changed: “If you decide to run away now, you will never come back. There is no need to come back secretly.”

Tao Qiran finally returned to the house with Zhao Li.

When there were only Lin Wu and Wang Ye left in the yard, Lin Wu suddenly patted his forehead: “I forgot to say about the animalization!”

Wang Ye looked at the main house where the two people had entered but it was still dark, and shrugged: “They can’t take care of us now, let’s talk about it tomorrow.”

In the main house, Zhao Li stood at the junction of the night and the moon, half light and half dark. It was unclear whether it was about to be darkened by the night or the light was breaking out of the dark night.

Tao Qiran hopes to be the latter.

He didn’t want to be Zhao Li’s night.

However, Zhao Li never left according to who wanted or didn’t want to go, whether before or now.

…

five years ago.

Tao Qiran: I am going to stay in school.

When receiving this WeChat message, Zhao Li was in the newly renovated cafe, preparing to start his first career.

There is still an hour before the opening, the pianist invited is already in place, and all the staff are busy making the final preparations.

Zhao Li gave a few simple instructions and went to the second floor.

There is a vacant room there, very spacious, and it is ready to be used as a studio for Tao Qiran, who has returned from graduation.

be a teacher? ——Zhao Li leaned against the wall of the empty room, replying to a message.

Tao Qiran: Well, stay in school to teach.

Zhao Li: I see.

Tao Qiran: That’s it?

Zhao Li:?

WeChat has been quiet for a little longer this time.

Then Tao Qiran came back with a message: Don’t you want to come to Beijing?

Zhao Li: Will you stay in Beijing forever?

Tao Qiran: It should be.

Zhao Li: Stop painting on the mountain?

Tao Qiran: Go, of course I want to go. The biggest reason I agree to stay in school is that I have winter and summer vacations as a teacher.

Zhao Li: When I make enough money, you don’t need to be a teacher, you can paint in the mountains all year round.

Tao Qiran: Don’t always paint me cakes, I will take it seriously.

Zhao Li: I’m afraid you don’t take it seriously.

Zhao Li: [Photo] [Photo] My store is about to open.

Tao Qiran: Have you really opened a shop? ?

Zhao Li: As I said, I will work hard to make money.

Tao Qiran: …then you should get a barbecue. I have never seen a few coffee shops that make money.

Zhao Li: Don’t rely on coffee shops, but on house prices.

Tao Qiran:?

Zhao Li: The store is valuable. According to the current housing price trend, the buyer has steadily increased in value every year, making it more profitable than most sales.

Tao Qiran: So the coffee shop is just a…hobby?

Zhao Li: Decorate, so as not to look like a misnomer when it is “sold in a shop” in the future.

Tao Qiran: [Sure enough, you still have money.jpg]

Zhao Li: Not enough to feed you.

Tao Qiran:…

Zhao Li: A studio is reserved for you on the second floor.

Zhao Li: No matter when you come back, I will be here waiting for you.
