It Seems There is Light

Night Talk

Yan Liang sat on the bed with his legs crossed, while Zhou Yuan sat opposite him, raising his hand to wipe his hair.

They sat like this for about ten minutes.

Zhou Yuan dried his hair and casually threw the towel away.

The towel flew out in an arc and hung on the back of the chair in front of the desk, swaying slowly a few times.

Yan Liang looked at the swaying towel and was lost in thought.

Zhou Yuan fell back on the bed and said, “Yan Liang, why don’t you go back first. Let’s talk about life in our dreams, okay?”

The bed was soft, and as Zhou Yuan moved, Yan Liang was tossed up and down by the mattress a few times.

Yan Liang reached out to pull his collar, he stayed in bed, refusing to get up.

“Then you lie down. I ask you, you answer me seriously, if…” Yan Liang leaned back on the headboard, arms behind his head with his head slightly tilted, “if I say I’m in love, have… have a girlfriend, how do you feel?”

Zhou Yuan immediately rolled up from the bed and stared at him, “Huh?”

Zhou Yuan seemed to have exhausted all his strength to send out this question, and the echoes shook Yan Liang’s ears.

Before Yan Liang answered, Father Zhou roar came from the next door: “If you yell again, you will be thrown out!!”​

“Wrong, wrong, wrong, I don’t dare!” Zhou Yuan replied in a loud voice and turned his head to continue to glare at Yan Liang.

His eyes were already round, so they looked even rounder when he glared.

Yan Liang looked at his expression carefully. He could not tell what emotion he was in, but he certainly did not look happy.

Yan Liang was suddenly relieved and felt that his emotions were not abnormal.

“What,did,you,say?” Zhou Yuan asked with his teeth clenched, “You,have,a,girlfriend?”

Yan Liang gave a low hum and asked, “What? Are you unhappy that you have a sister-in-law?”

Regardless of Father Zhou’s threat, Zhou Yuan uttered a long string of sorrows. He lay down on the bed, buried his face in the pillow, and muffled: “Happy bullshit. Everything about brothers is fake, really fake. You said to be single together but you just kicked me out.”

“…When did I ever say I would accompany you to be single?” Yan Liang stretched his foot and gently kicked his knee with his toe, “Get up, let me ask you, what’s your mood now?”

Zhou Yuan sat up and looked at him for a moment before saying: “A child that is too old to stay?”

After saying that, he immediately pulled over the pillow to block his face.

If it were in the past, Yan Liang would probably throw a pillow back at him, but now that he heard Zhou Yuan say that, he was more relaxed and just reached out and ripped the pillow out of his hand.

“It’s okay, I’m just teasing you, I’m not in love.”

Zhou Yuan: “…”

When he first heard that Yan Liang had a girlfriend, apart from being surprised, he was actually a little excited.

For a young person of this age, the word “love” always had a huge mystery. Although he had never been in love, it seemed to be very interesting to be able to watch his buddy fall in love up close.

In addition, he was really curious about what kind of girl Yan Liang would like.

As a result, after he pretended to howl for a while, his non-existent sister-in-law was stillborn.

Zhou Yuan laid back down again and waved his hand: “Okay. I wish you the best of being single for the rest of your life, it’s best to have no children.”

When Yan Liang heard him say this, the look on his face turned out to be a little brighter.

Zhou Yuan: “…”

Yan Liang nodded. Raising his hand, he patted Zhou Yuan’s shoulder as he said: “I understand. So it’s not my problem alone, anyone can be like this.”

Zhou Yuan: “…” He snatched the pillow back and took it back into his arms, full of doubts, “…No, why do I feel that we are not on the same channel? You tell me in detail, what do you understand? What do you understand? No, what are you happy about?”

“I see,” Yan Liang said while propping up his cheeks and nodding his head, “Childhood friend is probably a species similar to a son.”

Zhou Yuan: “…”

Although he did not understand how Yan Liang suddenly came up with such a sentence and the content of their conversation was completely inconsistent, but it seemed to be right.

Boys at this age always seemed to feel that being someone else’s father was particularly prestigious.

If Yan Liang called him dad, he would probably be very happy too.

So Zhou Yuan also nodded his head with a serious face.

Yan Liang was satisfied; the previous depression was almost instantly swept away. He raised his hand and patted Zhou Yuan’s shoulder, saying, “All right, this is the end of tonight’s late night talk about life segment, we will see you next time.”

“…” Zhou Yuan waved his hand at him with a wooden face, “Okay. This is the end. Bye.”

Tonight, it was probably his childhood friend who accidentally fell on his head.

The room was warm, and once he stepped into the alley, Yan Liang, who had always been cold-resistant, got a little chilly.

He curled his fingers, and his cold fingertips touched his palm.

This was a very strange feeling, no matter how cold the weather was, he rarely felt cold hands and feet.

The wall lamps on both sides of the alley fainted in the night. Yan Liang stood, the smile on his face retreated little by little.

After chatting with Zhou Yuan for a while, he did feel relieved.

But this feeling was not thorough, it seemed that there was still something weighing on his heart, neither light nor heavy.

This was probably some kind of unfamiliar sentiment to him, hanging in the bottom of his heart brightly, in a place he could see but could not touch.

But out of instinctive self-protection, he did not try his best to touch it.

This thing has probably been around for a long time, and was both familiar and unfamiliar to him. It would be easy for him to fully understand it, but he was slow to touch it.

He felt like a man who wanted to change a light bulb but had no chair to put his feet on, the light bulb was hanging above his head, visible, but no light. He jumped up and tried to take the bulb off and replace it with a good one, but he couldn’t reach it.

Just a little distance away, but still couldn’t touch.
