Chapter 52
Chapter 52
The moonlight is gentle, and Lu Jinyan's eyes are more gentle than the moonlight.
Jiang Yubai looked back at him dazedly, and found his own reflection in the dark and deep eyes.
He suddenly wanted to see clearly what he looked like in Lu Jinyan's eyes, so he unconsciously raised his face higher, and gently rubbed the tip of his nose against the straight bridge of his nose.
It's completely a gesture of offering a kiss.
Lu Jinyan's breathing became chaotic, and he almost couldn't wait to kiss him immediately.
"Brother Lu! Xiaobai!" Shen Zhao shouted from ahead, "Why are you walking so slowly!"
The lips barely touched, and Lu Jinyan was pushed away by his hands.
But they were too close, and Jiang Yubai couldn't exert any force in his hands. The next second he pushed him away, he fell backwards with an unstable center of gravity.
"Xiaobai!" Lu Jinyan whispered, grasping his waist with quick eyes and hands, and pulled him back into his arms.
Jiang Yubai leaned against the warm and generous chest, her heart was beating, and she subconsciously grasped the clothes on her chest.
Lu Jinyan patted his thin back reassuringly, then let go of his hands and straightened him up: "It's all right."
Jiang Yubai calmed down her heartbeat, and walked forward.
"Brother Lu!" Seeing that they hadn't followed for a long time, Shen Zhao trotted back, "What are you two doing?"
Lu Jinyan replied angrily: "What's the rush, can we still get lost?"
Shen Zhao had a hippie smile: "That's not necessarily true, what if Brother Lu kidnaps Xiaobai again?"
Lu Jinyan: "..."
After returning to the dormitory, Jiang Yubai went to the chair and sat down, leaned on the table and closed his eyes to relax.
I had never drank alcohol before, and I didn't know that my alcohol capacity was so poor. I just took a sip before my eyes became dizzy.
"Little Bai, are you still feeling bad?" Lu Jinyan raised his hand and touched the back of his head, "I'll make you a glass of honey water."
"I feel bad too! I want honey water too!" Shen Zhao began to babble again.
Lu Jinyan gave him a sideways look, and said with a half-smile: "Are you afraid that I will poison the honey water?"
Shen Zhao "hissed" and gasped: "Forget it, I have no luck..."
Lu Jinyan walked to his desk, raised his hand to get the honey jar, and quickly made honey water.
He picked up the cup and put it in front of Jiang Yubai, and reminded in a low voice: "It's a bit hot, drink it after it cools down."
"Okay." Jiang Yubai opened his eyelids, "Thank you."
Lu Jinyan lowered his eyes and stared at his face: "The little white rabbit can't drink well, so I'll have to watch and stop letting you drink."
"Where is my drinking capacity?" Jiang Yubai tilted his head and retorted a little unconvinced, "It's my first time drinking, and I just have no experience."
"You are born with a capacity for drinking, and it doesn't matter how many times you drink it." Lu Jinyan said with a smile, "Like me, I was born with a thousand drinks and never got drunk."
"Bragging..." Jiang Yubai muttered, "I don't know who was drunk that night..."
"Actually, that night I didn't—" As soon as the words came out, Lu Jinyan suddenly realized that something was wrong, and stopped the car in time, "That night was an accident."
Jiang Yubai pursed his lips slightly, and looked at him with obvious doubts: "Liar."
It was the first time Lu Jinyan saw him showing such a cute and naive expression, and he was so cute that his heart ached for a moment. He couldn't help but leaned over and pinched his jaw, rubbed his fingertips on the soft flesh inside, and smiled deliberately: "I'm not lying. , only tricked a drunken little white rabbit."
"Oh!" Jiang Yubai pushed his hand, "itch..."
Lu Jinyan suppressed the urge to rub the little white rabbit into his arms, and let go of his big hand: "Stop making trouble, drink the honey water first."
"Oh." Jiang Yubai responded, holding the water glass in both hands, obediently sipping honey water.
He didn't notice until he finished drinking that he was drinking from Lu Jinyan's cup.
The next afternoon, Jiang Yubai was going to order milk tea for the students.
He opened the delivery software, thought for a while and asked the monitor for advice: "Squad monitor, which milk tea do you want to drink?"
Qiu Zixin laughed: "Xiaobai, do you really want to invite us all to drink milk tea?"
"Yeah, there are so many people in our class, are you sure we all have to be invited?" The girl at the same table echoed in a low voice, "There are so many takeaways, it's hard to take them out."
University A does not allow food delivery personnel to enter the campus, so they can only go out to pick it up by themselves.
"Yeah." Jiang Yubai nodded, and was just about to hand the phone to the monitor when a call came in suddenly.
He glanced at the caller ID, took back his phone and answered the call: "Hello."
"Xiaobai, I'm at the door of your teaching building, come out and pick me up." Lu Jinyan's voice came from the other end of the phone.
"Ah?" Jiang Yubai froze for a moment, "Why are you here in our teaching building?"
"Here comes the warmth for your classmates." The deep magnetic voice transmitted to the eardrum through the current, "Come and pick me up."
Only then did Jiang Yubai realize that Lu Jinyan had heard that he wanted to invite his classmates to drink milk tea, so he bought milk tea in advance and sent it over.
Qiu Zixin looked at him curiously: "Whose phone is it?"
"The milk tea is here." Jiang Yubai hung up the phone, turned around and walked towards the studio door.
"Xiaobai!" Shen Zhao couldn't carry the milk tea with both hands, so he could only greet in a loud voice, "We are bringing milk tea!"
Lu Jinyan stepped forward: "Fortunately, I caught up."
Jiang Yubai took a bag silently: "Let's go."
Anyway, the classmates in their class already knew Lu Jinyan, so there was no need to avoid suspicion.
Sure enough, when Lu Jinyan appeared at the door, the studio was quiet for a second, and then a commotion broke out.
"The school grass is here again!" Someone shouted, "School grass, are you going to transfer to our oil painting class?"
"There is no such plan yet." Lu Jinyan smiled slightly, and put the milk tea in his hand on the podium, "Everyone should drink the milk tea that Xiaobai invited first."
There was a burst of cheers in the studio, and the students came forward to choose their favorite milk tea.
"This is pearl milk tea, this is pudding milk tea, this is a combination..." Shen Zhao enthusiastically introduced the flavors to everyone, "Don't worry, everyone has a share!"
The students got the milk tea and started talking again.
“I always love bubble tea!”
"Thank you school grass and God Jiang for feeding me!"
"It feels a bit like giving out wedding candy, hahaha!"
Lu Jin raised his eyebrows and replied with a smile: "Milk tea is milk tea, wedding candy is wedding candy, how can they be confused?"
When that day comes, he will definitely come to deliver the wedding candy to him and Xiaobai in person.
Jiang Yubai stood aside, feeling an inexplicable feeling in his heart.
After a while, Lu Jinyan picked up the reserved cup of milk tea and walked up to him: "Xiaobai, this is yours."
Jiang Yubai took the milk tea and thanked softly: "Thank you."
"Thank you?" Lu Jinyan raised his hand and rubbed his hair, "Then let's go back to class first, see you tonight."
"Okay." Jiang Yubai clenched the milk tea tightly, "See you tonight."
When it was night, Lu Jinyan had already prepared a strategy to watch the super moon.
"I checked, and it takes only five hours to drive to the place closest to the moon." Lu Jinyan opened the map and showed him, "Saturday night is the best time to watch the super moon. We can start on Saturday morning. Climb the mountain after arriving at the place, just in time.”
"Okay." Jiang Yubai looked at him with eyes full of trust, "You decide."
Lu Jinyan smiled: "Then I will drive to the school on Friday, and we will leave early on Saturday morning."
"What, what?" Shen Zhao took off the earphones and brought his ears closer, "Brother Lu, where are you going by car?"
Lu Jinyan became alert instantly, and said foolishly, "I didn't plan to go anywhere, you heard wrong."
"I heard it! Brother Lu and Xiaobai are going to see the super moon!" Ding Hongyu stretched out his head from the bed, "Xiaoqing also wants to see the super moon. Can Brother Lu take us there?"
Lu Jinyan frowned, and before he could say no, Shen Zhao rushed over: "I want to go too! Xiaobai took me to see the super moon!"
He knew that Brother Lu was hard-hearted, so he simply bypassed Brother Lu and begged Xiaobai directly.
He figured it out, Brother Lu would listen to Xiaobai in the end anyway.
Jiang Yubai subconsciously looked at Lu Jinyan, feeling a little bewildered.
"Okay." Lu Jinyan couldn't bear to embarrass him, so he gritted his molars, "But my car can only accommodate five people."
"Then you guys are just right." Zhou Feng said, "I can't go, because the club has something to do this weekend and I can't leave."
"Yeah!" Shen Zhao cheered, "Go and see the super moon!"
Lu Jinyan: "..."
With three more light bulbs, his plans will change.
Early on Saturday morning, five people set off for Moon Mountain.
Lu Jinyan drove out the low-key Cayenne, Jiang Yubai sat in the co-pilot, and the other three sat in the back seat.
Sitting next to the young couple, Shen Zhao didn't feel embarrassed at all, and chatted with them passionately.
Jiang Yubai was originally looking at the scenery outside the window, but he turned his face unconsciously, and his eyes fell on the face of the person in the driver's seat.
Lu Jinyan drove casually, with one hand on the steering wheel, looking calm and inexplicably charming in control.
"What's wrong?" Sensing his gaze, Lu Jinyan turned his face slightly, "Bored?"
"No." Jiang Yubai shook his head, and then asked with concern, "Will you be tired after driving for so long?"
There was a smile on Lu Jinyan's lips: "With you sitting next to me, I won't be tired after driving for a long time."
Jiang Yubai couldn't help but look back at the back seat, only to find that no one was paying attention to their conversation, so he breathed a sigh of relief.
After a five-hour drive, we arrived at Moon Mountain smoothly at one o'clock in the afternoon.
Although Moon Mountain is known as the closest place to the moon, there are not many tourists who usually come to visit it because there are no other attractions nearby and the marketing promotion of the scenic spot is not in place.
They first found a clean homestay, put down all their luggage, and then went to a nearby restaurant for lunch.
After a short rest after eating, several people began to climb up the mountain.
"I think Moon Mountain is really romantic. It's a pity that there are so few tourists." Xiaoqing admired the scenery along the way and couldn't help feeling sorry for Moon Mountain.
"It's the off-season now, and there will be more people during the peak tourist season." Lu Jinyan stopped and turned to look at Jiang Yubai, "Xiaobai, are you okay?"
Jiang Yubai leaned on a climbing stick in his hand, panted slightly and raised his eyes: "It's okay."
"Let's take a rest first." Lu Jinyan swept his eyes and found a clean big rock, "Let's sit there for a while."
"Just so I'll take a picture!" Xiaoqing took out her phone from her pocket and handed it to her boyfriend, "Do you still remember the photography skills I taught you?"
Ding Hongyu nodded again and again: "Remember! I promise to take pictures of my wife like a fairy girl!"
Lu Jinyan took out mineral water from his backpack, unscrewed the bottle cap and handed it to Jiang Yubai: "Come, drink some water."
Jiang Yubai took the mineral water, raised his head and drank a couple of sips, found that he had been staring at him, and handed the water back: "Do you want a drink?"
"Of course I want to drink." Lu Jinyan smiled openly, and poured half a bottle of water from the wet mouth of the bottle.
"Brother Lu, give me a bottle of water, I'm thirsty too." Shen Zhao stepped on the branches and walked over, "Just the half bottle in your hand will do."
Without saying a word, Lu Jinyan took out a brand new bottle of mineral water from his backpack and threw it to him.
After resting for a while, they continued to walk to the top of the mountain.
There are many types of vegetation on the mountain, and every flower, plant, and tree is full of aura. At the beginning, everyone was in the mood to enjoy the beautiful scenery. As their physical strength continued to be exhausted, everyone except Lu Jinyan was out of breath.
"I...I can't do it!" Shen Zhao sat down on the stone steps, panting like a cow, "No, otherwise you go up the mountain, I'll wait for you to come down here!"
"Isn't that bad?" Xiaoqing was so tired that she lay on her boyfriend's body, "It's all here, wouldn't it be a pity not to go to the top of the mountain to watch the moon?"
Lu Jinyan hugged Jiang Yubai's shoulders calmly, letting him rest on his body: "It's still a while before dark, let's rest where we are for 10 minutes, and eat something to replenish our strength."
"Damn it, Brother Lu, why are you acting like a normal person?" Ding Hongyu looked in disbelief, "Didn't you climb up like us?"
"Brother Lu's physical strength is comparable to yours?" Xiaoqing pinched him feebly, "I usually tell you to exercise but you don't exercise, have you lost the chain at a critical moment?"
Lu Jinyan was noncommittal, unscrewed the mineral water and fed it to the lips of the person leaning on his shoulder: "Come on, drink some more water."
While the man was drinking water, he raised his hand to wipe the hot sweat from his forehead, lowered his voice and asked, "I'll carry you up later, okay?"
Jiang Yubai refused without thinking: "No, I can."
Not to mention how strange it was for Lu Jinyan to carry him up the mountain, this kind of physical exertion was not something ordinary people could bear.
"You don't believe me?" Lu Jinyan laughed deeply, "Xiaobai, you may have underestimated my physical strength."
Jiang Yubai couldn't help remembering that he was exercising in the dormitory every day some time ago, and his voice became quieter: "I don't believe it..."
In the end, the other three were exhausted, so they stopped at the Jushi Platform after discussing the decision.
It was getting late, and the golden-red moon was rising from the southeast horizon, and some people had already set up camping tents nearby, preparing to enjoy the moon on the spot.
The Jushi Terrace was still some distance away from the top of the mountain. Lu Jinyan and the others gasped and asked, "Xiaobai, do you want to stay here or climb to the top?"
"I want to go to the top of the mountain." Jiang Yubai looked back at him with a serious tone, "It's the closest to the moon."
"Okay." Lu Jinyan responded and stood up, "You will camp here tonight, and Xiaobai and I will go to the top of the mountain."
He carried the mountaineering bag, stood on the stone steps and stretched out his hand to Jiang Yubai: "Let's go."
Jiang Yubai was slightly taken aback, and put her hand into his palm obediently.
For the rest of the way, Lu Jinyan cooperated with his pace throughout the whole process, used him as another climbing crutch, and taught him how to adjust his breathing rhythm at the same time.
The two clasped their hands and climbed step by step to the top of the mountain.
The second he stepped on the summit, a gust of cold wind blew, Jiang Yubai's legs softened, but he didn't feel the slightest panic in his heart.
Because he knew that Lu Jinyan would definitely catch him.
In the next moment, she fell into a familiar embrace.
"[-]:[-] is the time when the super moon is at its fullest." Lu Jinyan hugged him from behind, "We still have time, let's eat something first and take a rest."
Jiang Yubai nodded: "Okay."
The wind on the top of the mountain was very strong, and the temperature was much lower than that at the bottom of the mountain. Lu Jinyan took out a windbreaker from his backpack for him to put on, and began to look for a place to pitch a tent.
After setting up the tent, they ate something and sat in front of the tent to watch the moon.
At this time, the moon has risen in midair, and it complements the lights of thousands of families at the foot of the mountain. The silver glow makes the scenery in front of you unreal.
Jiang Yubai raised his face and stared at the bright moon in the sky.
He has looked up at the moon countless times, but he has never been so close to the moon, so close that he thought he could touch it with his hand...
Lu Jinyan's gaze followed the outstretched arm and landed on the slightly opened hand.
The slender jade-like hands looked more and more beautiful against the moonlight, but they were also so transparent that they were about to disappear in front of their eyes.
He panicked, and couldn't help reaching out to clasp the back of Yingbai's hand.
Jiang Yubai woke up and turned to look at him: "What's wrong?"
Lu Jinyan took him along with him and withdrew his hand, and replied softly: "It's okay, I want to hold your hand and watch the moon together."
The fingertips moved slightly, but Jiang Yubai didn't break free after all, allowing him to wrap his hand into the warm palm.
After a while, he took the initiative to say: "Lu Jinyan, haven't you always been curious about what my tattoo means?"
"Yeah." Lu Jinyan replied warmly, "But if you don't want to say it, I won't ask."
Jiang Yubai still stared at the full moon, speaking very slowly: "My mother was diagnosed with cancer when she was seven months pregnant, and she left shortly after giving birth to me."
Holding his hand tightly, Lu Jinyan's voice choked up: "Xiaobai..."
"I think she should have hugged me, but how can a baby in the swaddle have any memory? I don't have any real memories of her." A layer of water mist floated quietly under the clear and beautiful eyes, "The only thing left to me What was downloaded was a video, saying that my mother went to the moon, and when Xiaobai grows up, he can go to the moon to find his mother.”
When he was very young, he always firmly believed that there was his mother on the moon.
Although he was ridiculed by his classmates as a wild child without parents after school, he never doubted what his mother said, and he only wanted to go to the moon to find his mother when he grew up.
"When I grew up, I finally realized that it was just a lie." Jiang Yubai let out a long breath, "But I still want to believe that my mother is really on the moon. It seems that I can lie to myself that I am not a child without a mother."
Lu Jinyan slowly inserted his five fingers into his, intertwining his fingers: "Your mother must love you very much."
Jiang Yubai looked at him, with an unspeakable sadness in his tone: "But, I killed her."
Jiang Mingyue had said to him countless times, that you killed your mother, why wasn't you the one who died back then?
Over the years, he kept asking himself, why wasn't he the one who died in the first place?
If he could travel back in time, he would definitely suffocate to death in his mother's stomach with the umbilical cord wrapped around his neck.
From the very beginning, he should not have been born in this world.
"Xiaobai, it's not like that." Lu Jinyan clasped his hand tightly, his eyes full of pity, but his tone was very serious, "You back then, you had no choice. And your mother must have given birth to you Best decision that could have been made.”
The water vapor in his eyes was shaky, Jiang Yubai turned his face away.
"She told you that she was on the moon to leave you with a thought." Lu Jinyan raised his other hand, pressed it against his cheek, and turned his face back, "She must love you the most in this world." people."
The eye sockets finally couldn't bear the weight of the water vapor, and crystal clear tears rolled down her cheeks like broken beads.
"The two people who should love me the most in this world, one leaves me, and the other hates me like mud." Tears streaming down his eyes blurred his vision, his voice trembling with tears, "Lu Jinyan, my birth is Original sin, I don't deserve any love."
Lu Jinyan's heart throbbed, and he gently wiped away his tears with his fingertips: "That's not the case, Xiaobai."
"Actually, I have prepared a lot of things tonight, but now, I just want to tell you—" Lu Jinyan did not hide the burning love in his eyes, and his tone was solemn and pious, "Jiang Yubai, I think all the love you didn't get for you."
"I want to give you a lot of love, enough to fill a lifetime, Jiang Yubai, are you willing to let me love you?"
The round moon in the sky rises to the highest point, and finally reaches the largest diameter visible to the naked eye, which is also the closest distance between humans standing on the earth and the moon.
In an instant, Jiang Yubai finally put all his worries behind him, and flung himself into the arms of the person in front of him recklessly.
Like every time in the past, Lu Jinyan hugged him tightly without hesitation, as if he wanted to rub him into his arms and merge with him.
As if they were meant to be one.
After a long time, Lu Jinyan lowered his head, leaned into his sweetheart's ear, and said the simplest and most beautiful confession: "I love you, Jiang Yubai."
That night, they lay in the tent and slept with each other hugging each other. The moon hung consistently in the sky, casting soft light all over the place.
At 04:30 in the morning, Jiang Yubai woke up from the dream again.
As soon as he moved, Lu Jinyan also woke up, his arms around him tightened a little, his warm and thick hands gently patted his back, coaxing him in a low voice like a child: "Having nightmares again? It's okay, I'm here, Xiaobai is not afraid, not afraid..."
Jiang Yubai didn't open his eyes, but threw himself deeper into his arms, with his cheek against the beating heart, sniffing the familiar breath with the tip of his nose, and felt a kind of peace in his heart that he had never felt before.
Hot lips fell on his wrist, Lu Jinyan's eyes were half-closed, trying to pull him out of his arms.
"Lu Jinyan..." Jiang Yubai nestled in his arms and refused to come out, mumbling in a tone as if she was being coquettish, "I want to sleep like this..."
Lu Jinyan's voice was hoarse: "One kiss, one kiss and I'll let you sleep in my arms."
Originally planning to confess successfully tonight, at least a lingering deep French kiss first, but was defeated by the tears of the little white rabbit.
Jiang Yubai dawdled in his arms, raised her face after a while, and quickly kissed his lips.
Just once, it was retracted into his arms again.
Like a shy bunny taking a sneaky lick of candy.
Lu Jinyan was slightly stunned, laughed dumbly, and hugged his little white rabbit tightly: "Let me let you go tonight..."
Jiang Yubai closed his eyes again and fell into a deep sleep.
From now on, when he wakes up from a nightmare, he no longer needs to look up at the distant moon, but only needs to hug the people around him with all his strength.
