Traveling to Lhasa (26) Shen Fan's Boyfriend?
It's better not to see each other
So that you don't have to fall in love
It's better not to know each other

If I don't see you,
will I never think of you again?
If we see each other,
is it that we are always thinking of each other?
If I see you, I will miss you again, and if I don't see you, I will miss you again
How can I not see you and not miss you?
If you can get the best of both worlds
How can you fail to live up to your expectations?
When I was in Lhasa, people kept asking me if I had gone to the "Wall of Love" to have a good time.
In fact, I would like to correct is, Lhasa is not compared to Lijiang, here there is no love, only pious faith. The so-called "wall of love" is a complete misunderstanding. I guess what they say about the wall of love should be a wall of sunshine Buddha in front of the Da Zhao Temple, right? The local Tibetans are very averse to the idea of a wall of encounters, which is considered to be a disrespect for Tibetan Buddhism. So friends who like to travel, it is best to do a little homework before departure. Traveling on a whim may not be for everyone.
My years in Lhasa were built on a vain dream. Looking back at the people I met, I still can't believe that they were ever so close to me. Perhaps I have been away for too long, and when I look back in the twilight, I always feel as if I am living in a castle in the air. However, when I turn over the familiar photos, those past events and familiar faces come back to me. The first time I saw a woman in the car, I was able to see her in the back of the car, and I was able to see her in the back of the car, and I was able to see her in the back of the car.
I met Xiaoxin, completely because of Shen Fan. I don't know how long they've known each other, but I do know that they are very, very good friends. One day when I was at the store, Shen Fan suddenly told me to introduce me to a friend of his who had just returned from Nepal. I have seen a few of Shen Fan's better friends, so I didn't pay any attention to them. But I didn't expect this friend of his to play a role in our future life that would subvert my previous understanding of life.
One afternoon, Shen Fan and I were drinking chamomile in the store, when suddenly there came a man with a hiking bag. This is Xiaoxin, later my big brother (of course, Shen Fan forced me to call), Shen Fan special friend. I am a face control, at that time when I saw Xiaoxin my eyes lit up, his face value is far above Shenfan. For Shen Fan, Xiao Xin is not too tall, but his skin is very white, but his full beard has a special flavor. But he acted like he was rejecting people, with "Do not approach" written all over his face.
"Dead girl, eyes are straight what are you looking at? Come on, I'll introduce you to a big brother. Xu Xin, Chongqing people. In the future you treat him as good as you treat me."
Shen Fan has always thought of himself as very handsome, every time if my attention in other people I stayed too long, he would not be happy. Always say: look what? He has me handsome? Shen Fan knows that I am a face control, but he often take my ex to say things. It's hard for me to explain to a narcissist the difference between admiring and living a life. I still want to live a peaceful life, so I won't say that Xiao Xin does look more handsome and good-looking than him.
"Brother Xu, good."
To show my friendliness I extended my right hand, and all I heard was a cold "Hello." High-cool boys I first contact, looking at my right hand was hung in the air I feel particularly embarrassed.
"You Xu big brother does not like to contact with girls, not to mention that suddenly more than a sister may not be accustomed to, in the future you go more contact on it, in the future you have to be good ah." Said Shen Fan patted my right hand, the awkward atmosphere was finally relieved.
Then Shen Fan introduced Xu Xin to Yin, and then we drank tea while chatting about some things about traveling. I didn't expect the high-cool Xu Xin to talk about traveling, but I found it a bit strange. I just found it a little strange that as long as I was a little closer, he would be a little farther away from me, Yin sat a little closer and he just looked at it. I was a little depressed, do I look so horrible?
I don't know if it's my illusion, or maybe it's because I got along more, and slowly realized that Shen Fan is a total tease. Especially after Xu Xin came back from Nepal, Shen Fan became really not like a normal person.
The midday sun in Lhasa is particularly strong, so we usually hide in the store to drink tea. Our previous life work and, those in the city where we are. But when it comes to these, I'm all ears. For Xu Xin's understanding, is also in their conversation, bit by bit know. From stranger to familiar, there is a process. And my familiarity with Xu Xin, surprisingly, is the beginning of another city.
The time in Lhasa is very slow, slowly you forget the time forget the time, forget the years like shuttle. In the fast-paced city, I occasionally miss the kind of slow has been unable to return to the life. The leisurely time in the small store may be one of the reasons why I can't forget it. In the past, I was afraid of uncle know we secretly drink store chamomile, and then Shen Fan in the we are openly drink, anyway, it is not we take out. Sometimes Shen Fan will also take the store's yak meat jerky to eat, anyway, as long as he is there, we will have some small benefits.
We stayed together for a long time, and slowly understood. Brother Xu is no longer repulsed by me, and finally called 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, and only thought that they should have a good relationship. The one who punctured this relationship was the Buyei girl and the little fish who came back from Nepal a week later.
These two girls are also from Guangdong, originally I was with the other boys and they were about to take the Yunnan-Tibet line hiking to Lhasa, but because of my time reasons did not go with them together. They formed two men and two women to form two small teams, wandering past. I was directly to Lhasa, they stayed on the Yunnan-Tibet line for a long time. They were all in a small group, and Yin was the group leader, so we were sort of acquaintances. Before the Buyei girl and the small fish went to Nepal, Yin took me to have a meal with them as a farewell.
Sometimes, the fate of people is just so ingenious. I can't imagine that the Buyei girls and Little Fish, in Kathmandu, already knew Xu Xin. Later I realized that Brother Xu was going abroad with his boyfriend to break up the trip. It just so happened that one of Buoy Girl's buddies inside the small group of free travelers was from the same hometown as Big Brother Xu's boyfriend. This is the reason why they met, just the amount of information in this really whole blindfolded me. Boyfriend? The first time I've seen this, I've seen a lot of it.
It turned out that Xu is GAY! I was shocked, so handsome a guy how can be gay? I was y shocked, especially Shen Fan and he is still unclear look. A good friend of Shen Fan's, Da You, came over from Beijing, and when Shen Fan told me that this was one of his suitors, I thought he was just joking. Including that partner of Brother Xiao Tang's family, Brother Li, who we often go to rubbing meals, is likewise gay. I didn't believe Shen Fan when he told me that he was in his 40s (we should call him an uncle), so how could he be gay? But when the Buyei girl told me again with certainty that all these were true, I had to accept these facts.
In my perception, homosexuals are generally more effeminate, and these people have always been very manly in my eyes, and I can't see that they have this tendency in their daily contact. Because of this matter, the Buyei girl has been teasing me I lived with Shen Fan for more than two months actually did not find this problem. When I left Lhasa, I mentioned this to my friends, who probably knew too little about the same sex, and they all sweated for me. We are friends and I don't alienate them because of their gender orientation. I respect everyone's right to make choices about love, and I don't exclude or oppose them in that regard. That's why we met in another city next. I was even more surprised that I would help Xu Xin to deceive a pair of kind old men.
The closer we get to summer, the bigger the sun gets in Lhasa. The first time I saw this was when I was a kid, and it was the first time I'd ever seen a kid in my life. The fat uncle is not busy time will also be with us to laugh, together with the joke. It can be seen that the fat uncle is also quite fond of lively. Shen Fan's behavior was getting stranger and stranger, in front of so many people, he fed Xu Xin fruits and tea, and his hands even probed into Big Brother Xu's clothes, and he also acted out some clips from Crayon Shin-chan for us. Big Brother Xu didn't reject Shen Fan's overly intimate gestures, but rather had a shy look on his face. Can you imagine a man with a full beard looking shy? To use the current buzzword, it's just spicy eyes. People, you really can't tell the difference.
The fat uncle sat in the store smiling and narrowing his eyes, flirting with Shen Fan while gasping for breath. The Buyei girl was busy taking videos while screaming, "No, no, no, I don't have enough memory in my DSLR." Yin seems to be accustomed to it, panicked and said "Shen Fan, can you be a little more cheap?" Little fish has always been silent is on the side of the quiet watching, occasionally will help Bu Yi girl pass a little cell phone. The first time I saw such a crazy Shen Fan, in addition to confused and surprised, I really do not recognize this person.
Such a special field, maintained for several days. I did not expect that Shen Fan actually has such a maniacal side. He danced striptease in the store, naked with a bewitching look attracted all the people from the nearby stores. Passing tourists also flocked into the store, crowding the small store. The fat uncle took advantage of this opportunity to sell a lot of things.
"Dead girl, look at brother having such a high time, can you be happier? I put my old life on the line and sacrificed my color can't you act a little happier."
No matter how crazy they were, I just sat on the stool and admired taking pictures. More than that, I couldn't come back to my senses, and the unsuspected craziness was all out of my cognitive range. In my previous moderate life, this life is undoubtedly special, they seem to bring me into another world, know a different world, different people, experience different stories.
