Chapter 58 Confession



The train rattles and rattles across plains and hills in the night. Xie Lan's mind was so confused that he couldn't fall asleep, so he simply opened a time-lapse video on his phone and placed it next to the car window. At dawn, you can fall asleep, and when you wake up, you will have a miniature of the moon and sun.

He was still sleepy when he got off the bus, and he followed Dou Sheng all the way in his hazy vision, only to find that the group of people were carrying hiking bags, except him and Dou Sheng. Che Ziming's bag looked the heaviest, with a kettle hanging outside and a pot handle protruding from the zipper.

Dai You said: "I rented a accompanying bus. Our first stop is to hike in the Grand Canyon, Xie Lan shoots a video, stay at the alpine grassland campsite at night, and watch the hydropower station tomorrow."

Xie Lan was still awake, and asked casually, "What about the day after tomorrow?"

Dai You smiled, "The day after tomorrow, the English-Chinese laboratory building will gather for the provincial training of the math competition."

Everyone burst into laughter, and the laughter dispelled all the sleepiness. Chen Ge raised his eyebrows and said, "You good students are really miserable."

Che Ziming yelled angrily on the spot: "Come on, don't think you can be on the job forever!"

The bus bumped all the way and sent people to the village near the starting point of the hike. Everyone ate a boxed meal in the village, Yu Fei vacated a bag for Dou Cheng to carry equipment, and the group immediately entered the valley.

At the beginning of entering the valley, there is a section of river tracing road. The air in the canyon is fresh, there is a waterfall and clear stream winding, and the road is very narrow. Several people lined up talking and laughing.

Dai You yelled at the front: "Those who carry things, help them back and forth."

The two girls held hands immediately, Yu Fei walked in front of Liu Yixuan, and Chen Ge followed Dong Jingjing.

As soon as Xie Lan straightened the piano box, Dou Sheng in front turned around.

Xie Lan raised her eyes, "Huh?"

"Remember, I have to help later." Dou Sheng smiled faintly, "Listen to what Dai You said, he is an old donkey."

Dai You snorted in front, "Don't say such black words to Xie Lan, he will really think I'm a donkey."

Everyone laughed, and Dou Sheng slightly raised the corners of his lips.

Dou Sheng also changed out of his rain clothes at some point, and he was wearing almost the same clothes as Xie Lan, a white T and gray sweatpants, simple and refreshing, and the tall, straight and delicate bones of a young man were clearly highlighted.

In Xie Lan's eyes, Dou Sheng and himself in Yu Guangli are like a pair of twins, or, lovers in couple clothes.

This cognition made him feel a little overwhelmed, he didn't know how Dou Sheng felt, anyway, he had a ghost in his heart. Being disturbed by that ghost, there was always a lingering impatience in his heart.

Detour out of the narrow river-tracing road, go up the bumpy and steep steps, and finally reach a small viewing platform.

Here is just a small hill protruding from the bottom of the cliff on one side of the canyon, with cliffs covering the sky and sun on both sides. Falcons pass by from time to time in the high sky, whistling and fluttering across the sky. A few sheep faintly protruded from the cliffs of the mountain forest in the distance. The eagle roared past, and those sheep retracted their bodies between the rocks. After the eagle passed, they came back calmly.

This will be the best light of the day, when the morning fog clears, the sky is high and the land is open, and the half-gorge can be seen at a glance.

Chen Ge gently scraped the cane made for the girl with a knife, Che Ziming and Dai You rushed to the opposite cliff and shouted a few times, Che Ziming turned around and said, "Lan, can we watch your video recording live?"

Xie Lan hummed, found a large solid rock at the farthest point from the top of the mountain, and put down the piano case.

He glanced around, thought about a few compositions, and sighed: "Unfortunately, here, uh... should we talk about the depth? The depth is not enough, and I don't know how the effect will be when I take a close-up shot."

Dai You joked: "Let Dou Sheng climb to the opposite cliff and set up a distant view for you."

Xie Lan smiled, "I'm just talking."

He faced the canyon with his back to the crowd, and suddenly heard a sound of starting the machine, and the sound of the mechanical flight running from far to near, stopped behind him.

Xie Lan turned around and looked at the silver-white four-claw fuselage floating in the air behind her.

The drone backed up for a while, and flew around him cautiously. The lights on the four feet flickered, and it drew an arc in the air and flew towards the vast place.

Dou Sheng manipulated the machine, circled away from the narrow mountain top, and rose steadily into the deep space of the cliff.

His eyes sparkled with a bright smile, "Master, your Yuanjing is on standby."

A group of people immediately cheered up.

Dai You was shocked: "Why did you buy this professional version again? Didn't you swear to only play for a few hundred dollars after blowing up the phone so many times before?"

"Too addictive." Che Ziming covered his face and sighed, "I lost my mind to support Xie Lan."

Xie Lan stared at Dou Sheng in a daze, as if speechless.

As the wind passed through the canyon, he only felt that a trace of restlessness was blown up by the wind and grew wildly in his heart.

The camera keeps zooming up, passing over the empty canyon, everyone shrinks into a small group in the corner, but everyone is so clear.

Xie Lan stood on the top of the mountain, Dou Sheng stood behind him by mistake, not far away, Che Ziming put his arm on Dai You's shoulders, two girls stepped on a stone, on the left and right were the thin Yu Fei and Chen in school uniform Ge.

The sound of the first tentative piano was particularly clear and distant. Xie Lan looked at the cliffs and tree shadows, and put the bow on the strings.

He looked back at Dou Sheng and said, "Fly well, let's do it once."

Dou Sheng still smiled lightly, "The order has been received."

The sound of the piano resounded in the canyon, and the world seemed to have fallen into silence. The shadows of trees in the deep space, the cliffs of mountains and forests, Xie Lan was alone in it. When he was young, his waist was always very straight, even though his body was thin, he still had a kind of rebelliousness that the world was not afraid of.

What I played today is also an adapted OP, translated as "On the Top of the Red Flame". Xie Lan did it once on Youtube before, but this time he put more effort into arranging. "HBlood" already belongs to the past of SilentWaves, and he wants to try to use new music to make a name for himself at Station B.

The music starts from the intense and magnificent sanban sound, and turns to the sad and lingering adagio in the middle. The wind sends the vague sadness to every corner of the canyon, and soon ushers in the passionate and ups and downs. The fast bow is fluent, and the climax is repeated. An eagle spreads its wings against the wind and flies several times back and forth between the canyons with the push and pull of the music.

A song lasts only a few minutes, but after the lingering sound dissipates, it seems like a lifetime away. Xie Lan put down the piano and checked the two fixed camera positions. He was satisfied with the composition and put away the piano case.

Liu Yixuan said with emotion: "You are so proficient in video recording that it makes people feel distressed, and you don't look like a newcomer UP at all."

Xie Lan just smiled, "There are more details in the preliminary design."

Liu Yixuan asked again, "Do you have similar creative experience in the UK?"

Dou Sheng also looked at Xie Lan when he heard the words, Xie Lan paused for a moment and said vaguely: "I have filmed works before, but station B must be a new start."

Liu Yixuan didn't ask any further questions, Xie Lan put the piano case back on her back, and said back, "Take back the drone, please?"

Dou Sheng shook his head, "I want to run out of electricity."

Along the way, Dou Sheng followed not far behind Xie Lan. Xie Lan was also accompanied by his drone, sometimes flying behind Xie Lan, sometimes going around in front, flying to the canyon for a circle, and then returning to Xie Lan's side.

Dou Sheng whistled leisurely while operating, and the whistle was sent to Xie Lan's ears by the wind, and then sent further away.

The walking distance was ten kilometers, they stopped and went, and they didn't come out from noon until seven or eight in the evening.

The bus was waiting at the end, and everyone started shouting tired when they got on the bus, and each looked for a seat to sleep.

Xie Lan was also tired, he rarely walked such a long distance, and his whole body seemed to be falling apart.

Soon there were several snores in the car, Xie Lan yawned, but saw that Dou Sheng was importing the video to the ipad, dimmed the light, and started editing the film.

He froze for a moment, "So urgent?"

Dou Sheng explained casually: "I'll post a small video first."

Dou Sheng was very focused when editing the film, and the frequency of blinking decreased. Xie Lan sat beside him, staring at him and counting one by one.

After counting how long, Xie Lan lowered his head and fell asleep.

The bus drove slowly through the city and the outskirts, and it took more than an hour to approach the campsite. Amidst the sound of a car sleeping soundly, Dou Sheng finally cut out the 15-second short clip, which was divided into two versions, A and B. He turned the tablet sideways, changed the name of version A, transferred it to the phone, and glanced to the side. glance.

Originally, he wanted to see if Xie Lan was awake, but the bus suddenly turned to the left, and Xie Lan, who was asleep with his head bowed, leaned over at once.

Dou Sheng subconsciously sat up straight, just supporting Xie Lan's head. The soft hair brushed against the collarbone and neck, and the skin was a little itchy. In the dark, the young man let out a low whirring sound, which made him feel like grass had grown in his heart.

Dou Sheng held his breath for a long time, and carefully opened the camera function of his phone.

Adjust the front, the screen flashes, save.

In the photo, Xie Lan's cheeks were milky white. Dou Sheng looked at it for a while, and couldn't help stretching out his hand to pinch his face quickly.

Sure enough, it was soft as expected.

Xie Lan woke up, opened his sleepy eyes, and stared at the dark car window in a daze.

"Who pinched me?" he muttered.

No one answered, he raised his head in a daze, but met Dou Sheng, who was squinting at him from above.

Dou Sheng's eyes were bright and narrow. "I pinched you. You slept on me all the way, and my shoulders are numb."

"!"

Xie Lan sat up straight.

He stared out the car window for a long time before trying to regain his expressionless expression, unscrewed the mineral water bottle and took a sip.

"......oh."

Finally arrived at the campsite, the sky was dark, the shadows of trees on the hillside were scattered, and campers' tents were scattered here and there.

Dou Sheng and Dai You are veteran campers, and they set up two tents in a short while, one big and one small, separating men and women.

As soon as the simple little lantern was turned on, there were greetings from other donkey friends next door. Dai You got out of the tent and yelled back, which was a pronunciation that Xie Lan could not understand.

The car was pulled out and the electric pot was used to cook. Mineral water washed two packs of tofu soup, added messy meatballs, ham sausage, and two pieces of instant noodles.

A group of people gathered around a pot waiting to eat, Dou Sheng broke a piece of scones bought at noon and handed it to Xie Lan's mouth, "Try it, it's still a little crispy now." The puff pastry lightly touched Xie Lan's lips, thank you Lan glanced at him, opened his mouth and bit the cake.

Che Ziming clicked his tongue and said, "Like protecting your daughter-in-law, give me a bite too."

"Break it yourself." Dou Sheng threw the cake into his arms, "Forget about being lazy."

Everyone laughed together, and the pot boiled in a short time. Each person got a bowl, a few pieces of tofu and a few balls, half a bowl of soup, and a chopstick of instant noodles. They ate the leftover scones at noon.

The meal was so simple that it was far inferior to the cafeteria, but Xie Lan ate it very deliciously, and just those two mouthfuls of noodles made a snoring sound.

Chen Ge opened a bottle of wine, stretched it over and said, "Have you some drink, boy?"

Dai You sighed, "Drink some, I'm too tired today."

Everyone picked up small cups one after another, the alcohol content was not low, Xie Lan almost choked on the first mouthful.

Spicy, dry, but enjoyable.

He stabilized for a while, then took another sip slowly.

After drinking a bowl of noodles and half a glass of wine, everyone crossed their legs on the ground. Xie Lan had to learn from Dou Sheng for a long time before he managed to put on a decent pose, the tips of his knees were still touching Dou Sheng's.

Che Ziming's eyes lit up after drinking, "Let's have an interesting game. Everyone speaks the truth to the people present. It is not necessary to reveal who the other party is, but the request must be to one of us." ,dare?"

Dai You said with a smile: "If there is anything you dare not do, I will come first."

Dai You glanced over the crowd, finally landed on the oily pot, and smiled.

"The sheep I saw today reminded me of Northwestern blue sheep. The blue sheep run and jump on the vertical cliffs, and they are not afraid to fall to pieces. I hope my brother and I can do the same."

Chen Ge picked up the wine glass and took a sip, then nodded silently.

"I'll be the next one!" Che Ziming raised his hand, "I like people who are good at math. So I used to like Douzi the most, but now..."

He turned his head and looked at Xie Lan with bright eyes, like an expectant Akita dog.

Dou Sheng kicked over, "It's your turn to like it?"

Che Ziming snorted coldly, "You are jealous!"

Everyone laughed, but Xie Lan's ears felt hot. He raised his eyes and glanced at the crowd guiltily, probably everyone instinctively thought that Dou Sheng was saying, "It's your turn to like me?"

Only those who have ghosts in their hearts can see the ghosts hidden in other people's words.

Yu Fei said: "I am not interested in anything, but it is different for some people, I believe she can feel it."

Che Ziming was shocked on the spot: "I'm going? Brother, what's the situation?"

He stood up all of a sudden, and was about to point to Dong Jingjing to ask, when he suddenly felt something was wrong, and looked at Liu Yixuan in disbelief.

Yu Fei didn't say a word, she drank the little wine left, her neck was red all over.

Liu Yixuan also blushed, and hesitated for a long time before saying in a low voice: "I still hope...the person who gave me the Hanfu can take it back. I don't want to think about too complicated things before the college entrance examination."

Yu Fei stretched out her hand and pinched her neck twice, as if she was nodding slightly with the movement.

Dong Jingjing whispered, "I actually have nothing to say. I just... hope you are well."

Chen Ge gave a low laugh, and drank the undivided wine in the bottle, "Then I hope you don't wait for me."

There was dead silence around, and Dong Jingjing's face suddenly turned pale, but Chen Ge paused and said: "I will go back by myself."

Dong Jingjing burst into tears, she wiped her tears and laughed again, Chen Ge took out a piece of paper and handed it over without saying a word.

To Dou Sheng, Dou Sheng said to a simple small lamp on the ground, "I, sent you a message."

Everyone was stunned, and a few seconds later they started touching their trouser pockets at the same time.

"I don't."

"not me."

"Not me either."

"Shouldn't you report it? Then you'll know who it is."

"Yes."

Xie Lan's heart was beating fast, alcohol made his consciousness intermittent, he poked open the phone, a red 1 was lit on WeChat, took a deep breath and opened it, only to find that someone in the class sent a red envelope.

Che Ziming suddenly cursed, "Douzi! I'll beat you up!!"

Xie Lan raised his head in a daze, everyone had already started grabbing Che Ziming's mobile phone tacitly, Yu Fei was the first to get it, stood on tiptoe on a big rock, and released it to everyone.

The drone captured more than a dozen shots of Che Ziming lifting his trousers today, all mixed together, in different locations, in different poses, with the same movement, and every time he lifted his buttocks, there was an exaggerated fart sound.

The audience burst into laughter, only Xie Lan didn't laugh. He felt a little lost, and while he was in a daze, the airdrop suddenly started to automatically receive the file, and before his mind could react, it had already been transmitted and played automatically.

The 15-second silent video is a drone that captures some silhouettes of Xie Lan in the canyon today. There is him walking carefully against the cliff, there is a piano standing on the top of the mountain, there are laughter and speechlessness, and there is a bird's-eye view from a high altitude. , There is also attention behind.

It turned out that when he was crossing the cable bridge, he grabbed someone's arm so hard, obviously he had a ghost in his heart, but he joked with him so many times in a day.

At the end of the video, Xie Lan stared blankly at his own eyes that were displayed on the black screen. He was stunned for a while before he suddenly caught sight of the file name.

Just because I am in this mountain.

Seven characters fit on one screen, and there was a pause for a few seconds before the following characters scrolled out one by one.

The person I like is Xie Lan.

The moment his heart stopped suddenly, the blood in his whole body seemed to be flowing backwards. The impact of alcohol suddenly surged, his hands trembled, and he almost dropped the phone into the pot.

Che Ziming yelled "I'll kill you" and came after Dou Sheng. Dou Sheng's neck was very red, but he smiled casually as usual. He got up and ran in the other direction, making it clear that he wanted the car to chase him.

I don't know if it was Xie Lan's illusion of drinking too much, he felt that Dou Sheng deliberately stepped over the pot on the ground to let Che Ziming run this way. As soon as Che Ziming stepped over, he hooked his foot on the wire that was originally in the blind spot of his vision, and the only small electric light suddenly smashed on the stone.

There was a snap, and the surroundings were instantly dark.

The fierce man in the car stopped, and said incompetently and furiously, "What the hell??"

Dai You immediately clapped his hands in the dark: "Everyone, don't touch the light bulb, be careful of the glass, let's talk about it after dawn."

"Yeah." Yu Fei yawned, "Why don't we relax today and go to bed, I'm so sleepy."

"Yes, let's go."

"Xie Lan hasn't said anything yet?"

"Xie Lan think about it and post it in the group."

Several people got up and walked to the tent with their arms in the dark, shaking their mobile phones to light up.

With the strength of the alcohol, Xie Lan's feet were soft, and he barely stood up until everyone had gone there, and poked the phone several times before opening it.

Just as the flash was turned on, a familiar tall and thin figure came over. The light was suddenly blocked by him with his body, and the surroundings fell into darkness. Xie Lan stopped abruptly.

Dou Sheng seemed to want to hug him, but stopped a few centimeters away.

The surroundings are quiet, only the wind lingers on the campsite, but the wind amplifies people's drunkenness even more arrogantly.

Everything was silent, one hand grabbed Xie Lan's hand. Without looking down, he can trace the beautiful shapes of those fingers in his mind, they are interspersed between his fingers, and the knuckles are against him, rubbing lightly.

Dou Sheng said softly: "I'm done teaching, come and do the spot check after class."

Xie Lan had never felt such a burn, from the base of his ear to his neck, to his wrist, and even his fingers.

Dou Sheng also seemed to be a little drunk, and after a while he calmed down and asked in a low voice: "How do you translate that poem?"

Xie Lan was so dizzy, a little dizzy. Dimly, he couldn't see the outline of Dou Sheng's face clearly, he could only see the pair of black eyes. Although the man's tone was calm, the light in his eyes fluctuated violently, as if he was more panicked than him.

The person I like is Xie Lan.

The answer was ready to come out, but Xie Lan closed his eyes and pondered for a while, waiting for his beating heart to calm down a little before he answered.

But the moment he opened his mouth, his heartbeat became chaotic again.

The young man's drunken voice was soft, very low and light, and it was a little misty by the wind if he was not careful.

"The person I like is Douzi."

To those who care, it is so clear.

In the darkness, a soft kiss was unexpectedly imprinted on Xie Lan's cheek, like an arrogant but unvoiced chord, playing on the crazily throbbing heart of the young man.

The author has something to say: Lazy Eggshell Red: Huh.

Doudan imitated him, Hong Hong: Huh.
