Chapter 89 Familiar Taste
Shen Guantang picked up his clothes with one hand, and patted Pei Zhiyu's downward hand away with the other, "I don't think you need help."
After finishing speaking, he grabbed the shirt and pants aside, "I'm going to the bathroom to change."
"Hey—Ah Tang!" Pei Zhiyu immediately grabbed Shen Guantang's wrist, begging for mercy, "I was wrong."
Shen Guantang: ...
Don't think that I will soften my heart by pretending to be pitiful.
Well, I will.
Shen Guantang exhaled lightly, "Then I'll put it on first, you follow?"
Although it was different from what he had imagined, Pei Zhiyu also knew that he couldn't tease him any longer, so he obediently went to untie his belt.
The red outer shirt fell to the ground slowly, and after a while, the inner shirt was also piled up at his feet.
When Shen Guantang went to match the clothes, Pei Zhiyu had already stripped herself silently.
"Fuck!"
After turning around, Shen Guantang was taken aback, and said the essence of Chinese culture directly.
"You...why did you take it all off?" Shen Guantang stuttered and said.
Pei Zhiyu tilted his head in doubt, "But if you don't take off your clothes, how do you change into new clothes?"
He looked at the clothes Shen Guantang was holding in his hand, "Are these for me?"
Shen Guantang settled his mind and said, "Yes."
Seeing Pei Zhiyu seriously studying the buttons and zippers on his trousers, Shen Guantang coughed and handed over another small bag.
"You put this on first."
Pei Zhiyu took the bag and suddenly smiled, "A Tang, your face is so red."
Shen Guantang said without changing his face, "You must be wrong."
"Really?" Pei Zhiyu smiled, but did not break.
Picking up the contents of the paper bag with her fingertips, Pei Zhiyu observed for a while, and suddenly said meaningfully, "This is... obscene pants?"
"Eh." Shen Guantang glanced at a certain place, and then quickly moved away, "It's the same as wearing obscene pants, except that you don't need to tie them. You... just push your two legs in."
Pei Zhiyu weighed between acting stupid and dressing honestly, and finally chose the latter.
"and then?"
Seeing that Pei Zhiyu had put on his underwear honestly, Shen Guantang was also a little surprised, which was different from the Pei Zhiyu he knew.
Seen by Shen Guantang with suspicious eyes, Pei Zhiyu said helplessly, "Could it be that in Ah Tang's heart, I'm that kind of... a fox who... can be in heat regardless of the occasion?"
Shen Guantang paused, and looked around with a guilty conscience, the hotel was indeed a place with a high incidence of rape.
The shirt in his hand was ripped away, and Shen Guantang came back to his senses. On the opposite side, Pei Zhiyu was lowering his head, buttoning the buttons seriously, starting from the bottom one and going all the way to the top one.
His long black hair fell over his shoulders and fell on his chest, disturbing his buttoning action.
Shen Guantang stepped forward and gently lifted Pei Zhiyu's long hair.
It is relatively rare for a man to have long hair in this world, especially with hair as long as the two of them.
But...if Pei Zhiyu had to cut it off, Shen Guantang felt very reluctant.
"Otherwise, tie your hair up." Shen Guantang asked.
Pei Zhiyu smiled lightly, "I listen to Ah Tang."
Shen Guantang took a step back, for some reason, he always felt that something was missing.
"tie."
"what?"
"Wait for me first."
After finishing speaking, Shen Guantang was about to run out, but Pei Zhiyu grabbed his wrist.
"what happened?"
Pei Zhiyu smiled helplessly, "A Tang, you definitely don't want to run out dressed like this."
Shen Guantang blinked, then lowered his head suspiciously.
In the next instant, his face turned completely red.
"I... I'm going to the bathroom to change."
After finishing speaking, he broke free from Pei Zhiyu's wrist and got into the bathroom.
"Click-"
The sound of the bathroom lock being locked.
Pei Zhiyu raised his eyebrows, and his eyes fell on the scattered clothes thrown on the big bed beside him.
He folded his arms and leaned against the wall next to the bathroom, and sure enough, three seconds later, the bathroom door was opened, and Shen Guantang carefully poked his head out of the door and looked around.
The next moment, a hand was stretched out in front of him, with clothes and pants on his arms.
Shen Guantang was taken aback.
Pei Zhiyu's smiling voice sounded above Shen Guantang's head, "A Tang, you forgot to bring your clothes in."
Shen Guantang said awkwardly, "Thank you."
"A Tang and I, you don't have to be so polite." Pei Zhiyu said with a low smile, "If A Tang wants, I can also help you wear it."
"That's not necessary." Shen Guantang took the clothes and shrank back into the bathroom with a "whoosh".
-
Shen Guantang looked at himself in the mirror, and gently pressed his palm on his cheek.
"It's so hot..." Shen Guantang murmured.
He... must have seen it all.
Putting his hands on the sink, Shen Guantang lowered his head, and after a long silence, he took the clothes on the shelf beside him and put them on silently.
Coming out of the bathroom again, Shen Guantang had already changed into a modern outfit, a pullover hoodie and jeans, looking like a youthful college student in a nearby university town.
It's just that long hair tied up in a high ponytail is very eye-catching.
Before Pei Zhiyu could speak, Shen Guantang said directly, "Just wait a moment, I'll be back soon."
After walking a few steps, he turned on the TV again, "If you're bored, you can watch TV shows."
Pei Zhiyu looked at the machine that suddenly appeared on the screen, and said slowly, "I've seen this thing in Ah Tang's sea of consciousness before."
Shen Guantang paused, "Then you watch first, I..."
He looked up at the clock, "I'll try to be back within an hour, um, half an hour."
"Okay." Pei Zhiyu took the remote control, sat on the sofa opposite the TV, looked at Shen Guantang with a smile, "I'll wait for you, Ah Tang."
"Ah."
-
After leaving the hotel, Shen Guantang went straight to the nearest shopping mall. After visiting several men's clothing stores in a row, Shen Guantang's eyes lit up and he finally found it.
It was a red tie, with a red background and a dark red diamond pattern, lying there quietly.
Shen Guantang felt relieved, took off the tie, and handed it to the clerk, "Please settle the bill."
That tie was expensive, and after the clerk took it, he asked casually, "Sir, would you like to take a look at the tie clip by the way?"
"Tie clips?"
"Yes." The clerk had a decent professional smile on her face, and she led Shen Guantang to another counter, "Sir, you can choose whatever you want."
Shen Guantang's eyes almost immediately fell on a tie clip embedded with fine red crystals.
Although it looked a bit gimmicky, Shen Guantang somehow felt that it was very suitable for Pei Zhiyu.
-
After walking out of the store, Shen Guantang originally wanted to go back directly, but... maybe his feet had their own thoughts, and helped Shen Guantang turn into a jewelry store not far away.
"Hi sir, is there anything I can do for you?"
Shen Guantang looked at the diamond rings slipping under the glass cabinet, feeling a little dazzled, "Excuse me, are there any simple and fancy men's rings?"
Cabinet sister:? ?
Sir, do you know that you just said an antonym?
Although she complained in her heart, she still maintained a professional smile on her face due to her professionalism as a counter lady. She quickly took out a few styles from the counter and recommended them.
Shen Guantang's eyes are almost blackened when it comes to things like rings, and he always feels that these rings seem to be similar, at most there is a difference in the pattern.
After carefully talking about his needs, Shen Guantang finally chose one.
"Mister's vision is really good." The cabinet sister enthusiastically praised Shen Guantang's aesthetics, "We also provide free engraving services. I wonder if you need it?"
Shen Guantang shook his head, "No need."
If you really want to engrave characters, neither he nor Pei Zhiyu can do it by yourself.
"Ok."
"By the way, I want two."
"Two?" The cabinet lady confirmed.
"Yes." Shen Guantang nodded, "It's all men's."
The counter lady didn't have the slightest change on her face, "What is the size of the other gentleman's ring?"
Shen Guantang was taken aback, he really didn't pay much attention to the size of his fingers, he could measure the size of other places visually, but his fingers.
After thinking about it, Shen Guantang simply said, "Then wrap up all these sizes."
The cabinet sister was startled, and the smile on her face became brighter, "Sir, please wait a moment, it will be ready soon."
-
When Shen Guantang returned to the hotel, he heard a familiar voice as soon as he opened the door.
"Cat and mouse?"
Pei Zhiyu slumped lazily on the sofa. Hearing Shen Guantang's voice, he immediately got up and took the thing from Shen Guantang's hand, "What is this?"
"It's a tie." Shen Guantang pulled the bag back as if nothing had happened, "I'll tie it for you."
As he spoke, he pulled out the tie from the bag, wrapped it around Pei Zhiyu's neck, and put it on his shoulder.
In order to avoid making a fool of himself, Shen Guantang also specifically asked the clerk how to tie it. At this time, it is not proficient to tie it, but there is no mistake.
In order to facilitate Shen Guantang's movements, Pei Zhiyu raised his head slightly, and the neck was brushed from time to time, and the subtle touch gradually accumulated.
Because they were too close, the heat from Shen Guantang's breath brushed over his neck and chin, causing Pei Zhi's Adam's apple to roll a few times involuntarily.
"All right."
After fastening the tie and fastening the tie knot, Shen Guantang took a step back and nodded with satisfaction. Now he can suddenly understand why so many people like dressing up games.
Because he didn't have much matching skills, when Shen Guantang bought clothes for Pei Zhiyu, he chose the most error-prone black and white matching, white shirt, black trousers, and black leather shoes.
The simpler the clothes, the more it tests the wearer's appearance.
This body is stable enough, but the red tie brings him a lively atmosphere.
After admiring it for a while, Shen Guantang said with satisfaction, "It's very beautiful."
"Ah Tang likes it very much?" Pei Zhiyu asked with a smile.
Shen Guantang nodded calmly, "Of course I like it."
At the same time, he also thought silently in his heart that when he turned around, he could try other styles again.
-
After everything was packed, the two of them left the city without further delay after confirming their location.
The familiar mountains came into view, and Shen Guantang couldn't help but tighten Pei Zhiyu's hand.
Perhaps because of the timidity of being close to the hometown, Shen Guantang felt very complicated when he came to this familiar place again.
Time has brought many changes to this small town. Many buildings in Shen Guantang's memory have disappeared, replaced by wider roads and many newly built buildings.
"Why did you stop?" Pei Zhiyu asked in a low voice.
Shen Guantang took a deep breath, "I...I don't know either."
Pei Zhiyu actually couldn't understand Shen Guantang's current mood, but he was very sure that Shen Guantang must need himself very much now.
"A Tang."
"what?"
"No matter what happens, I will be with you." Pei Zhiyu said seriously.
Shen Guantang exhaled softly, "Thank you."
-
Standing at the bottom of the familiar building, Shen Guantang raised his head and easily found the window.
The window facing the south is the balcony of the house, and outside the balcony is a foldable hanger. In Shen Guantang's memory, there are always many clothes drying on the hanger.
But now, the hanger on the balcony is still there, but it seems that it has not been used for a long time.
This building has been around for some years. From the outside, it looks quite old. The stairs are plastered with cement. After decades, they have been rubbed smooth. The paint layer of the handrails has peeled off, and the exposed parts are It also gradually oxidizes and rusts.
Shen Guantang stood at the corner of the stairs, further up was the door of his very familiar house.
But...Shen Guantang didn't know how he should take that step.
How would you explain it if you saw them?
Just when Shen Guantang was in a daze, the door of the room was suddenly opened, and a strange girl walked out from the inside.
Seeing the two men at the entrance of the corridor, the girl was startled, and immediately asked vigilantly, "Who are you? What are you going to do?"
Shen Guantang asked anxiously, "Excuse me, is this Shen Ci's home?"
"Shen Ci'an?" The girl breathed a sigh of relief, "Are you a relative of his family? They moved a long time ago!"
"Moving?" Shen Guantang murmured, "Where did they move, do you know?"
"I don't know about that." The girl said, "Didn't you leave his contact information?"
Shen Guantang shook his head, "When did they... move away?"
"It's been a long time." The girl said, "I'll ask my dad."
Not long after, a middle-aged man walked out of the house, "Are you a relative of his family? We have moved here for more than ten years. Hey, that family is also poor. It is said that the only son in the family died in a car accident. They couldn't bear it." After being hit, I sold the house and went to another city. Also, living here, looking at familiar places, I feel sad when I think about it.”
The middle-aged man babbled on for a long time again.
Shen Guantang did not interrupt him, but listened carefully, and when he finished speaking, he said seriously to the middle-aged man, "Thank you."
"Hey, you're welcome, it's been too long, and I've lost all my contact information, so I can't help you."
"No." Shen Guantang shook his head, "You have already helped me a lot."
-
After closing the door, the middle-aged man pondered, "I always think that young man looks familiar."
But where did you see it?
He couldn't even think about it.
Suddenly, the daughter rushed over, howling ghostly, "Dad! Do you know what we missed just now?!"
"what?"
The daughter put the phone in front of the middle-aged man, "Ah, why did I only see it now! Otherwise, I can ask if I can take a photo together!"
The middle-aged man looked at the young man in the video, and nodded thoughtfully, "No wonder I think it looks familiar, I probably saw it when I watched short videos before."
-
After leaving, Shen Guantang sat on a bench in the small park, his mind was empty, and he looked blankly at the children and old people who were laughing and playing not far away.
Pei Zhiyu didn't make a sound, but just quietly stayed by his side.
The setting sun sinks into the horizon, and the soft moonlight shines on the earth.
Pei Zhiyu sighed, and said slowly, "A Tang, if you want to find them, I'll be with you."
After Shen Guantang was at a loss for a few seconds, he shook his head, "No need."
Pei Zhiyu was puzzled, "Why, you obviously..."
"I found them, how can I explain to them?" Shen Guantang lowered his eyes, "They have already lost their son once, I can't... let them lose a second time."
Time can dilute everything.
Now that they have decided to move out and start a new life, Shen Guantang feels that maybe...it is best not to bother him.
Pei Zhiyu was silent for a while, but still said cautiously, "A Tang, don't you choose to stay?"
Shen Guantang was silent.
It would be impossible to say that he never thought about staying here.
only……
If he really stayed, what about those who are still in the Izumo Secret Realm?
And... what about Duan Zhiyuan and the others on Rushan Mountain?
After closing his eyes, Shen Guantang said wearily, "Perhaps...maintaining the status quo is the best."
"Just now, I was too impulsive."
Pei Zhiyu didn't know how to comfort him, so in the end he could only embrace him clumsily, "A Tang, I will be with you, no matter what decision you make."
The evening wind blew, bringing Shen Guantang's almost whispered "thank you" to Pei Zhiyu.
-
The next day.
The two of them slept until noon, and after getting up and eating breakfast + lunch, Shen Guantang poked Pei Zhiyu's chest, "Is there any place you want to go?"
Pei Zhiyu looked at Shen Guantang carefully for a while, and even Shen Guantang was a little scared by him, so he said, "I want to see the place where you used to live."
Shen Guantang was taken aback for a moment, and then fell silent.
After a while, Pei Zhiyu lowered his eyes, and slowly pulled Shen Guantang's hand, "If you are in trouble, then..."
"I have lived and studied in many places." Shen Guantang took Pei Zhiyu's hand backhand, "Elementary school, middle school, university, where do you want to go?"
"Can we all go?" Pei Zhiyu looked directly into Shen Guantang's eyes, "Is it... a little too much?"
"No." Shen Guantang's eyes also had a look of nostalgia, "I haven't been there for a long time."
Because it was the weekend, there was no one in the elementary school except the teacher on duty.
After explaining to the guard, the two walked into this experimental primary school.
Over the past ten years, this elementary school has welcomed and sent away many students.
Shen Guantang and Pei Zhiyu walked slowly in the corridor, which was both familiar and unfamiliar.
Because Shen Guantang was relatively young when he was in elementary school, and he has been a human being for two lifetimes. Hundreds of years have passed, even if a monk has a strong memory, it is impossible to remember everything.
The distance between the primary school and the junior high school is not far, and the layout is somewhat similar, except that the selected students' model essays are posted on the outside of the classroom wall, and the blackboard behind the classroom is a carefully drawn blackboard newspaper. The theme this time seems to be yearning for space.
Shen Guantang's eyes carried these memories, "When I was in high school, I went to a boarding school, and I could only go home once every two weeks. The high school I was in was very strict in management, all day long, except for school uniforms, it was almost not allowed to be in school. Wear other clothes. Points will be deducted if you don’t wear a school uniform.”
Pei Zhiyu frowned, "Why do you want to do this?"
Shen Guantang smiled, "Well, the reason seems to be to prohibit comparison among students. However, after the school uniforms are unified, shoes can be compared, and finally even the shoes are assigned brands."
"Is that forbidden?"
"How is it possible." Shen Guantang shook his head helplessly, "As long as you think about it, there are always ways to compare in other places, such as pens and watches."
"Thinking about it now, the high school that was full of complaints seems to be... nostalgic."
Different from elementary school and junior high school, the high school that Shen Guantang had studied had stricter management, and it was not the time for students to go home, so the two could only look outside the door a few times, and couldn't even enter the gate.
-
"Come on, I'll take you to my university."
Perhaps Shen Guantang's happiest years in college, but unfortunately, he failed to graduate and left this world completely.
Compared with the strictness of high school, college is much looser.
Standing in front of the gate of the university, Pei Zhiyu slowly read the name of the university, "Jianghuai University."
"Crack-"
Shen Guantang put down the camera in his hand and said with a smile, "Do you want to take a picture together?"
"of course."
Shen Guantang looked around, stopped a classmate, and asked him to help take a group photo.
Pei Zhiyu held the camera, extremely curious.
But Shen Guantang himself couldn't explain the reason behind it clearly, so he had to drag him to the snack street near the school, trying to use delicious food to attract Pei Zhiyu's attention.
Pei Zhiyu is very interested in the camera, and he keeps taking pictures after sitting down. Of course, the protagonist will only be Shen Guantang.
But what he didn't know was that he, who was taking pictures of Shen Guantang, had also become the scenery in other people's mobile phones.
It wasn't until the dishes were served that Pei Zhiyu put down the camera with unsatisfied interest.
Shen Guantang laughed and said, "Since you like it so much, you can take it with you when you go back."
Pei Zhiyu asked subconsciously, "What about the battery?"
Pei Zhiyu was very concerned about the situation that the camera battery ran out once.
"Then buy some more and bring them back together." Shen Guantang thought for a while, "Well, prepare another solar generator, and there shouldn't be any major problems."
Pei Zhiyu nodded half-understanding, and in the next moment, a pair of chopsticks were stuffed into his hands, "Taste this squirrel mandarin fish quickly."
Shen Guantang said with a smile, "This is the only thing that hasn't changed in the past ten years."
"This restaurant has a good reputation. The chef is the owner and has been here for more than ten years."
"The taste is still the same as before."
At the end, Shen Guantang's tone was a little more nostalgic.
"Then I must try it." Pei Zhiyu said immediately.
