On a winter afternoon, Gin and Lin Yi were walking on the street, no one spoke, only the noise scattered on the street and the cold mechanical sound of the locomotive whistling by. They were about 10 centimeters apart from each other, not far or close, and they put their hands into the pockets of their trench coats in unison, and the beige silk scarves were wrapped around their wrists, and the crisp sound of metal colliding could be faintly heard. Occasionally, a pedestrian would pass by, peeking at the two of them with puzzled, teasing, or strange eyes, but would soon look away.

Lin Yi was unmoved, not half a minute, and the one next to him was even more so, if he couldn't even walk and breathe, Lin Yi thought he was dragging a corpse.

She looked up at the tall buildings around her, the gray-blue glass windows scattering the sunlight in all directions, and the gentle breeze seemed to be wrapped in its gray chill.

She had already walked this street countless times when she was still in school, walking hurriedly, leisurely, hot, cold, alone, back and forth, over and over again. Nothing has changed, the people are still those people, the shops are still those stores, it seems to be no different, except for herself.

This time there was one more person to accompany him, and Lin Yi felt that there seemed to be no difference, but it seemed that something had changed.

The broken hair on his forehead moved slightly, brushing Lin Yi's dark eyes, like the River Styx flowing in the land of death, silently and coldly washing the bones of the undead.

I don't know why, a poem that he learned a long, long time ago suddenly appeared in Lin Yi's mind.

Fly and fly, persuade you to have a glass of wine.

I don't know that the blue sky is high, and the yellow ground is thick.

Only see the cold moon and the warm day, come to fry life.

Lin Yi smiled silently, his smile full of sarcasm and burnout.

She stopped, grabbing Gin, who was still trying to move on.

"Kurosawa, such a nice weather, let's go have a drink." Lin Yi looked at the gin that turned to look at her, and smiled lightly, "I've known each other for so long, and I haven't sat down to talk." ”

Gin looked at her quietly for a moment, then looked away: "I have the right to refuse?" ”

"Absolutely." Lin Yi's expression did not change at all, as if he did not hear the ridicule and self-deprecation in Gin's mouth, let go of the hand holding his sleeve, and still said with a smile: "If you don't want to drink, we can go back." It's up to you to decide. ”

Rarely, Gin hesitated for a while, but finally replied in a cold tone, "There are no open bars right now." ”

"It's okay, I know, I'll take you there." Lin Yi's arm hanging by his side was slightly raised, and his hand unconsciously wanted to grab something, but he still paused without a trace, and put his hand back in the pocket of his windbreaker.

"Let's go."

The two of them also walked forward step by step, still separated by a short distance as just now, only a beige silk scarf connected the two sides, and from a distance it seemed to melt in the cold winter sun, as if there was nothing.

……

"Jingle bells." A crisp doorbell rang, and two uninvited guests came to the small bar located at the mouth of a remote alley.

The bar during the day was extremely deserted, and there were no other customers except Lin Yi and Gin. The owner of the bar is still very dedicated to tidying up the drinking utensils, and when he sees a customer coming in, he is also very polite to greet him.

Gin skillfully ordered a glass of gin, but after Lin Yi sat down, he asked the boss what wine he could recommend here.

Gin was surprised, "Your first time at the bar?" ”

After listening to the boss's description, Lin Yi hesitated and did not choose a few wines he recommended for girls, and after ordering a glass of gin and tonic, he supported his chin and watched the boss mix wine, and replied as a matter of course: "Yes." ”

"And how do you know the bar here is open during the day?"

Lin Yi glanced at him suspiciously: "You don't have to come here to know." ”

Gin choked on a stupid question, turned his head and took a sip of wine, the familiar cold liquor running down his throat, Gin feeling like he had barely recovered a little from a precarious IQ since he met this woman.

The atmosphere became strange and silent, Lin Yi was stunned, and looked at the wine sent by the boss expectantly.

She sniffed carefully, and there was a bitter smell of Chinese medicine, mixed with a slight lemon fragrance. Lin Yi felt that the smell was very good, which made her feel at ease.

She took a sip and frowned instantly, the full foam wrapped in spicy and stimulating alcohol exploded in her mouth, although the ice cubes and the lemon soup neutralized some of the spicy feeling, but it still made Lin Yi a little uncomfortable.

As the wine was swallowed by Lin Yi, the bitter fragrance of juniper berries slowly climbed up to the tip of his tongue, and Lin Yi soothed his expression, as if he had just felt the pleasure of wine tasting at this moment.

Immediately after a few more sips, the taste of juniper berries slowly outweighed the pungency of the alcohol itself, Lin Yi thought, sure enough, the wine still has to be tasted slowly to taste.

While drinking wine, Gin next to her secretly paid attention to the changes in Lin Yi's expression, watching her frown and endure from the beginning, to the posture of becoming more and more addicted the more she drank, and the corners of her mouth rose unconsciously.

"You're not going to be drinking for the first time?"

Lin Yi tilted his head, looked at the shallow gentleness and smiling gin that he hadn't found in his eyes, and couldn't help but reply with a little childishness: "It's not, it's just that what kind of wine they brought before, well, sour, astringent, not delicious." ”

After speaking, he sighed fakely: "I should have come to the bar early if I knew it, so I wouldn't have missed such a delicious thing." Lin Yi's face was now full of chagrin and excitement about discovering a new continent.

Not long after, a flush gradually surfaced on Lin Yi's cheeks, and slowly, spread to his neck, arms, and even his whole body. And Lin Yi didn't realize it at all, and was still shouting with the boss for another drink.

Gin doesn't feel right, this guy can't be allergic to alcohol, right?

"Lin Yi." Gin called her tentatively.

Lin Yi's eyes were confused, his gaze was sloppy, and it took him a long time to realize that he was calling himself. When he turned his head, he saw Gin's dead face, and he was instantly unhappy, and pouted angrily: "I brought you here to drink, why are you still with that paralyzed face." ”

As he spoke, he wanted to grab Gin's clothes, but his body was crooked and he almost fell to the ground, but Gin subconsciously pulled her to survive. But as a result, Lin Yi's whole body hung on Gin's body, as if there were no bones and stuck to his chest.

Feeling the soft and warm touch coming from his chest, Gin instantly froze in place. This also caused him to be unable to dodge Lin Yi's next move.

Lin Yi put his arms around Gin's neck, pulled the distance between the two, and looked at him without blinking. Under the flickering lights of the bar, the dark eyes are as light and misty as the morning Berlin mist, tempting people to sink.

Gin stared at Lin Yi for a while, leaned over slightly, and said in a dumb voice, "Lin Yi, you are drunk." ”

“…… No, I ...... How could I get drunk? ”

Lin Yi stubbornly shook his head, like every drunk drunkard, and refused to admit it.

The smell of wine lingered on Gin's bare skin, and his breath couldn't help but feel a little heavier.

"Huh? …… Something is hitting me in your chest. Lin Yi was a little uncomfortable, and reached out to press on Gin's chest, as if he wanted to stop this behavior by doing this, "What is this?" Don't move. ”

Lin Yi moved restlessly in Gin's arms, but he didn't notice the man's deeper and deeper eyes.

The boss has long been informed and interested in going to the back kitchen, and there are no guests anyway, so he still doesn't disturb the fun of the little couple.

At this moment, only Gin and Lin Yi were left in the store.

Gin grabbed Lin Yi's hand that was moving around on him, pushed the person back, and blocked Lin Yi on the bar cabinet.

Lin Yi's back slammed on the edge of the cabinet, and he couldn't help but snort in pain. Just as he was about to complain, he saw Gin leaning forward and kissing Lin Yi's lips fiercely.

The warm thin lips wantonly invaded Lin Yi's territory, mixed with a faint bitter and astringent aroma of wine, domineeringly burrowed into Lin Yi's mouth, as if playing and chasing with anger, so that Lin Yi could only be forced to bear this pleasure and play.

Lin Yi was kissed and groggy, and at first she wanted to resist, but then she was gradually brought in by Gin, ignorantly following his rhythm, until she felt that she was about to suffocate, and Gin let her go.

"I don't understand anything, and I dare to touch a man." Gin's breath was a little heavy, but it quickly calmed down, "This time it's a lesson, next time, don't drink outside." ”

Lin Yi still wanted to refute something, but in the next second, he felt a pain in his neck and was hit by a heavy knife from Gin. Her already unconscious brain quickly fell into chaos, and before she fainted, she seemed to see Gin break the bones of her hand, get rid of the shackles, and quickly return the bones. The last thought was, this man is stupid...... Wouldn't it be better to break her hand? Immediately after, he passed out completely.

Gin felt the flexibility of his left hand, and after basically making sure that there would be no bad effects, he shifted his gaze to Lin Yi.

Gin stared at Lin Yi for a few minutes with a heavy gaze, and finally picked up the person and left the bar with determination.

Gin just hugged Lin Yi, walked through the streets and alleys, walked through the forest paths, and quietly walked through the long river of years with a feather until nightfall.

His wound cracked open again, and the crimson blood smeared a long, narrow scar in his undergarment. A familiar and pungent bloody aura lingered on the tip of his nose, and his expression did not change in the slightest except for his pale face.

He could have left her at the bar to fend for herself, or he could have just called a car to take her back, but he still chose the stupidest method.

He thought, it should be the last indulgence.

Since then, the mountains are high and the road is far away, and we will never see each other.

Gin placed Lin Yi outside the gate of her villa and carefully let her lean against the wall next to her.

He didn't go into the yard, and he was afraid he would be trapped again.

The evening breeze slowly brushed the ends of the two people's hair and eyebrows, bringing a slight chill. Gin took off his coat and covered Lin Yi's body, and finally, gently rubbed Lin Yi's head. Without hesitation, he got up and left, his slender and cold back slowly melted into the night, disappeared into the distance, and never looked back.

Lin Yi, who was leaning against the wall and should have been unconscious, slowly opened his eyes, his eyes were clear, and he looked at the direction where Gin had left. After a long while, she looked away, she looked up with a sigh, and watched the eternal galaxy flow quietly above the canopy, tightening her body and covering the ground, as if she wanted to absorb the last trace of warmth.

Kurosawa, I wish we never met again.
