How long will this bus journey take? "Adonis had his mouth full of pancakes, but still managed to ask." Sixty minutes. "Dylan casually announced, 'Get off the car, and it's just a ten-minute walk from here.' Adonis casually threw the remnants in his hand into the trash can on the side of the road, then took out a tissue from his pocket and gently wiped his hands. "The next bus we are going to take is the No. 715 bus. Do you live in the city area?" "
"Hmm." "Dylan responded casually, "Shuyun Community." "
Wow, you're really something. Adonis was surprised to hear the name of the neighborhood and opened his mouth wide in astonishment, "Isn't that place known as the wealthy area of Huai City?" "
Probably. "Dylan casually replied, "I have been living there all along." "
Adonis swung his hands by his sides as he walked, reaching out one hand to rest on Dylan's shoulder, jokingly saying, "So, from today on, we are like blood brothers without any blood relation." "
Dylan glanced at him sideways and said nothing. Adonis reached out eagerly to take his own suitcase from Dylan, saying, "Let me do it." "No, thank you." "Dylan dodged Adonis's kindness skillfully, saying, "I can handle this on my own." "
If you act like this, others might think I'm bullying you, which wouldn't be good for either of us. Adonis was about to try again when he was startled by the look Dylan gave him, "Why are you staring at me?" "He questioned discontentedly."
Dylan shrugged helplessly, "When did I glare at you?" "
You were just staring at me! "Adonis retorted loudly, trying to bolster his own momentum with volume, "You're always glaring at me!" "
"Okay, I will pay attention." "Dylan barely managed to force a smile that he thought was friendly, but it only made Adonis more nervous. 'Forget it, just keep glaring at me,' he said. "
"… "Dylan's smile faded as he turned away, his face now displaying displeasure." At the bus stop, the next bus had not arrived yet, so the two of them settled down on the bench, waiting for its arrival. Sitting next to each other are a young couple carrying luggage, seemingly travel companions about to embark on a journey. Hey, are you guys traveling together too? The girl had long hair parted in the middle, with round eyes shining with curiosity. She leaned on the boy's shoulder and struck up a conversation with them.
Adonis smiled friendly at her and pointed to Dylan beside him, "I'm here to visit him." "
"Oh," the girl sweetly laughed, "visiting your boyfriend's house, huh." "
"Exactly so." "Adonis responded with a smile." Dylan quickly interjected, nodding to her briskly and cleanly.
Adonis was about to say "no," but the words stuck in his throat, and he took a deep breath, staring at Dylan's seemingly innocent face, silently cursing in his heart: "Disgusting, shameless." "
Not like that. Adonis turned around and shook his head with a smile, denying, "We are just roommates." "
The girl nodded knowingly and smiled at the two of them, saying, "I understand." Adonis scratched his head, pondering how to speak up, but caught sight of a bus slowly approaching from the corner of his eye, "Oh, the bus is here." "
Adonis pointed to the approaching car, hurriedly grabbed the luggage next to him, but Dylan snatched it away with one hand, "Just get in the car." Adonis snorted disapprovingly, rummaged in his pocket, and pulled out a few shiny coins, waving them in front of Dylan. "I am a connoisseur of coins," he said. "
The two of them squeezed onto the bus, with Dylan dragging his luggage onto the bus first and Adonis following closely behind. They could hear a couple whispering sweet nothings to each other nearby. A lady said gently, "Look how considerate he is to his 'partner', you don't even help me carry the luggage." "
I'm already carrying two, my hands are full. The boy responded with a hint of indulgent helplessness.
I don't care, they are so sweet, you have to learn from them in the future. The girl's voice was as clear as a silver bell, and every word was clearly heard by Adonis. We... Sweet? It's like comparing apples and oranges. Adonis walked ahead, his face filled with confusion. He didn't look back, just quickened his pace and caught up with Dylan quickly, sitting down silently beside him.
"Are we going to stay here for a week?" "Adonis leaned over and asked Dylan." Dylan was wearing headphones at the moment, looking out the window, completely unaware of Adonis's question, only feeling a gentle tap on his back. As he turned his head, Adonis's face leaned in like a curious puppy, almost bumping into him. Why? "He stared at the face in front of him and asked."
Adonis stepped back and touched his nose. "Do we have to stay here for seven days?" "
"Hmm." "We have to go back to school on the seventh day," Dylan replied. Adonis then asked, with a little ridicule in his tone, "Then what are we two busy people planning to do these days? "
Dylan gave him an indescribable look and fell silent for a moment. "I don't know," he said. "
Okay. Adonis was not surprised by the clueless response, he turned around and sat down, "I'll take a nap first." Take a nap. "Dylan gently gazed at the side of his face as he slowly closed his eyes." It's still early, the sun has just peeked out, and the sunlight outside is warm and comforting.
The sunlight gently caressed Adonis's hair and face, adding a soft glow to his already fair skin, as if his skin was so delicate that it would shatter with a light touch. The sun generously kissed Adonis's cheeks, causing him to furrow his brows and squint his eyes. Dylan acted quickly and deftly pulled up the nearby curtain, as if setting up a canopy of shade for Adonis.
Dylan withdrew his hand and looked at Adonis's head, where the cool air was playfully blowing his tousled hair, giving him a mischievous look.
"Do you feel a little cold?" "Dylan leaned in closer and asked softly."
Not cool. "Adonis lazily replied, his eyes half-closed as if he was savoring the moment of tranquility." Seeing this, Dylan stopped asking more questions and put on his headphones again, immersing himself back into his world of music. After a dozen minutes, Dylan finally woke up from the haze of music. Turning his head, he saw Adonis leaning comfortably against the back of the chair, his head tilted back high, his mouth slightly open, breathing steadily as if he had entered a dreamland.
Dylan hesitated for a while, but eventually decided to take off his thin jacket and gently cover Adonis with it, as if weaving a warm dream for him.
When the bus suddenly jolted, Adonis woke up from his dream and the first thing he saw was the olive green work jacket on him, as if it was Dylan's silent care. The weather in early October is like a playful child, clearly bidding farewell to summer, but occasionally turning back to throw a burst of heat. The damp and cold of morning and evening crept into people's collars like mischievous little ghosts, making them shiver involuntarily. Dylan's recent behavior is just like a nagging old mother, reminding Adonis to dress warmly every morning and evening without getting tired of it. This morning, he even tried to get Adonis to put on that thick coat, but Adonis firmly refused. In the end, Dylan had to put on the coat himself. The coat finally draped over Adonis's shoulders as expected.
Adonis opened his coat and turned to look beside him, only to see Dylan wearing headphones, his head tilted to one side, eyes half-closed, lost in a dream.
Adonis gently put the coat back on Dylan and chuckled to himself, "This guy's sleeping posture is so silly, it's hard not to laugh." He glanced at the station information on the screen and realized that there were only two stops left to the mysterious location Dylan had mentioned earlier. He rubbed his face, looked around, and noticed that there were more passengers in the carriage than when they had just boarded.
The grandeur of a big city is indeed impressive. "Adonis sighed, 'It's much livelier here than at our remote school.' "
Hmm? "Dylan hummed softly, opening his eyes groggily, "How did I fall asleep?" Not only did you take a nap, but you also almost missed your stop. Adonis gently patted his head, "Wake up, we need to jump off at the next stop." Dylan was slightly sobered up by the slap, and as he was about to straighten up, he found himself covered with a coat that obviously didn't belong to him. 'Did you put this on me?' "Received." Adonis felt like he was being pampered so much lately that he was almost turning into a baby who couldn't even tie his own shoelaces. He followed alongside Dylan, muttering under his breath, "If this keeps up, I'm afraid I'll forget my own name completely." "
