Travels in Lhasa (26) Shen Fan’s boyfriend?

It is best not to meet each other

In this way, we can not fall in love

It is best not to know each other,

In this way, we can No need to be lovesick.

If you don’t see it

Will you never miss it again?

If we meet each other,

Will we still miss each other?

See and remember, not see and yet remember

How can I not see and yet not read?

If the world has the best of both worlds

How can it live up to the saying?

When I was in Lhasa, people kept asking me, had I ever gone to the "Aventure Wall" to have an affair?

Actually, what I want to correct is that Lhasa is no different from Lijiang. There are no romantic encounters here, only pious beliefs. The so-called love affair wall is completely a misunderstanding. I guess the wall they call the Encounter Wall is the wall showing Buddha at the entrance of the Jokhang Temple. The local Tibetans are very disgusted with the idea of ??"encountering the wall" and think it is disrespectful to Tibetan Buddhism. Therefore, friends who like to travel, it is best to do some homework before setting off. On-the-go travel may not be suitable for everyone.

My peaceful years in Lhasa were based on an illusory dream. Looking back on the people I met, I still can't believe that they had such a close relationship with me. Maybe I've been away for too long. Looking back, I always feel like I'm living in a castle in the air. But when I look at the familiar photos, those past events and familiar faces are still vivid in my mind. Every encounter in life will not be without reason, because God has its own arrangements.

I met Xiaoxin entirely because of Shen Fan. I don't know how long they have known each other, but I know they are very, very good friends. One day when I was in the store, Shen Fan suddenly told me to introduce me to a friend of his who had just returned from Nepal. I have basically met several of Shen Fan's close friends, so I didn't take them to heart. But I never expected that his friend would play a role in our future lives that would subvert my previous understanding of life.

One afternoon, Shen Fan and I were drinking snow chrysanthemums in the store, when suddenly a man carrying a hiking bag came. This is Xiaoxin, later my eldest brother (of course Shen Fan forced me to call him), Shen Fan’s special friend. I am a beauty person. When I saw Xiaoxin, my eyes lit up. His appearance was far superior to that of Shen Fan. To Shen Fan, Xiaoxin was not tall, but his skin was very fair, but the beard on his face had a special smell. But he acted like he was aloof from others, with words written all over his face: "Keep strangers away."

"Damn girl, what are you looking at with your eyes so straight? Come, I'll introduce you to a big brother. Xu Xin, from Chongqing. From now on, just be as nice to him as you are to me."

Shen Fan always thought he was handsome, but every time I focused my attention on others and stayed too long, he would be unhappy. They always say: What are you looking at? Is he as handsome as me? Shen Fan knows that I am a beauty addict, but he often makes excuses about my ex. It is difficult for me to explain to a narcissistic person the difference between appreciation and living. I still want to live a peaceful life, so I won't say that Xiaoxin is indeed more handsome and good-looking than him.

"Brother Xu, hello."

In order to show friendship, I stretched out my right hand, and all I heard was a cold "Hello." I am a cold boy The first time I came into contact, I felt particularly embarrassed looking at my right hand hanging in the air.

"Brother Xu doesn't like to be in contact with girls, not to mention that you may not be used to the sudden addition of a younger sister. It will be good for you to have more contact with each other in the future. You must be good in the future." After saying this, Shen Fan took a photo After shaking my right hand, the awkward atmosphere was finally relieved.

Then Shen Fan introduced Xu Xin to Yin, and then everyone drank tea while talking about travel matters. Unexpectedly, the aloof Xu Xin talked endlessly about traveling. It's just that I found it a bit strange that as long as I came closer, he would stay slightly away from me. When Yin sat closer, he would just glance at me. I'm a little depressed. Do I look so scary?

I don’t know if it’s my misunderstanding, or maybe because we’ve spent more time together, I’ve slowly discovered that Shen Fan is a total tease. Especially after Xu Xin came back from Nepal, Shen Fan became really unlike a normal person.

The sun in Lhasa is very strong at noon, so we usually hide in the shop and drink tea. Our previous life and work also include those people in the city where we live. But when it comes to these things, I just listen. I also learned about Xu Xin bit by bit through their conversations. There is a process from unfamiliarity to familiarity. And my acquaintance with Xu Xin actually started in another city.

Time in Lhasa is very slow. Slowly, you forget time, forget time, and forget that time flies by. In the fast-paced city, I occasionally miss the kind of life that is slowly and irreversibly gone. The leisurely time in the small shop may be one of the reasons why I will never forget it.

I used to be afraid that my uncle would know that we secretly drank the snow chrysanthemum in the store, but now that Shen Fan is here, we all drink it openly, since we didn't bring it out anyway. Sometimes Shen Fan will eat yak jerky from the store. Anyway, as long as he is here, we will have some small benefits.

As we stayed together for a long time, we gradually got to know each other. Brother Xu no longer rejects me and finally calls me sister like Shen Fan. Of course, I also saw that he had a different relationship with Shen Fan. It's just that I didn't think about it that way. I just thought that they should have a good relationship. The ones who broke this relationship were Miss Buyi and Xiaoyu who came back from Nepal a week later.

These two girls are also from Guangdong. Originally, I and another boy made an appointment with them to take a ride to Lhasa on the Yunnan-Tibet Line, but because of my time, I did not go with them. . They formed two teams of two men and two women and wandered over. I went directly to Lhasa, and they stayed on the Yunnan-Tibet Line for a long time. We are all in a small group, and Yin is the group leader, so we are considered acquaintances. Before Miss Buyi and Xiaoyu left for Nepal, Yin took me to have a meal with them as a farewell.

Sometimes, the fate between people is so clever. Unexpectedly, Miss Buyi and Xiaoyu had already met Xu Xin in Kathmandu. Later I found out that Brother Xu and his boyfriend went abroad for a breakup trip. It happened that one of Miss Buyi's friends in the small independent travel group was from the same hometown as Brother Xu's boyfriend. This is how they met, but the amount of information in it really confused me. Boy friend? separate?

It turns out that Brother Xu is GAY! I was shocked, how could such a handsome guy be gay? I was deeply shocked, especially since Shen Fan still didn't know anything about him. A good friend of Shen Fan's was Dayou who came from Beijing. At that time, Shen Fan told me that this was one of his suitors. I thought he was just joking. Including Brother Li, the partner of Brother Tang's house where we often go to have a meal, he is also gay. At that time, when Shen Fan told me, I didn't believe it. How could that elder brother, who was in his 40s (we should call him uncle), possibly gay? But when Miss Buyi once again told me for sure that these were true, I had to accept these facts.

In my opinion, homosexuals are generally more effeminate, and these people have always been masculine in my eyes. I can’t tell that they have this tendency in daily contact. . Because of this incident, Miss Buyi has been teasing me. Shen Fan and I have been living together for more than two months but we didn't notice this problem. After I left Lhasa, I mentioned this matter to my friends. My friends probably didn’t know much about homosexuals and they all felt worried for me. We are friends and I will not alienate them because of their gender orientation. I respect everyone's right to choose love, and I neither reject nor oppose it. This is why we can meet in another city next. I never thought that I would help Xu Xin deceive a pair of kind-hearted old people.

The closer to summer, the brighter the sun in Lhasa. At noon, a few of us like to sit in Fat Uncle's shop, drink tea and chat. When the fat uncle is not busy, he will laugh and make trouble with us. It can be seen that the fat uncle also likes to have fun. Shen Fan's behavior became more and more strange. In front of so many people, he fed Xu Xin fruits and tea, and even put his hands into Brother Xu's clothes, while also learning some clips from Crayon Shin-chan. Give us a show. Brother Xu did not reject Shen Fan's overly intimate gestures, but looked shy. Can you imagine a shy man with a full beard? To use current buzzwords, it's an eyesore. People really can't tell what they look like.

The fat uncle was sitting in the shop, smiling and narrowing his eyes, panting while teasing Shen Fan. Girl Buyi was busy taking videos while shouting, "No, no, no, my SLR has not enough memory." Yin seemed to be used to it, and said calmly, "Shen Fan, can you be a little more mean?" Xiaoyu was always silent and watched quietly from the side. Occasionally, he would hand over the mobile phone to Miss Buyi. It was the first time I saw such a crazy Shen Fan. Apart from being confused and surprised, I really didn’t recognize this person.

This special scene lasted for several days. I didn't expect that Shen Fan actually had such a crazy side. He performed a striptease in the store, and his seductive appearance attracted people from nearby stores. Tourists passing by also poured into the store, and the small store was crowded. The fat uncle took advantage of this opportunity and sold a lot of things.

"Damn girl, look at my brother having so much fun, can you be a little happier? I risked my life and my appearance, so why can't you be a little happier?"

No matter how crazy they are, I just sit on the stool and enjoy taking pictures. What's more, I can't come back to my senses. The madness without any warning is beyond my scope of cognition. In my previous average life, this kind of life was undoubtedly special. They seemed to have brought me into another world, where I got to know a different world, different people, and experience different stories.
