The Greatest Showman

Swish, swish.

Walking in the dark yellow dead leaves all over the ground, the red, yellow and green in the sight are intertwined, the refreshing air is mixed with the fragrance of the soil and the breath of the trees, the pores can't help but open, look up You can see the blue sky mottled in front of you, as if you only need to raise your hand to touch it.

Matthew, who had calmed down a little, returned to quiet again. Although his anger had erupted, his inner loss and confusion were still restless. An indescribable and inexpressible unknown was making his heart beat irregularly, even if he forced himself Concentrating, but still uncontrollably absent-minded.

Swish, swish.

Matthew looked down at the dead leaves under his feet, and then he was in a trance like this, his thoughts could not help wandering, there was no purpose and no direction, just some messy thoughts that could not capture the origin and clues, like sesame seeds scattered all over the ground, densely packed but There was no way to start, and there was a turbulent surging.

"Tap tap."

There was a sound in his ear, Matthew looked up, and then he saw Renly who was running with all his strength - running? Why? Where to go?

"Whoa!"

In the next second, Renly jumped up and rushed towards the fallen leaves in a diving posture, sliding like sand and grass. The thick leaves drove Renly's body to hurry forward. Rush, the sound of clattering echoed in the quiet forest for a long time.

But it didn't last long, and was forced to stop because it touched the ground. The clothes and pants were covered with mud, and the neat appearance was completely disrupted, looking like a child who didn't grow up. Matthew was just speechless for a while and rolled his eyes.

"Hey, are you going to join me?" Renly rolled over and lay on the ground in a large font, as if hugging the forest and the sky with open arms.

Matthew didn't respond.

Renly didn't care, "Yo hoo!"

The shout echoed in the forest, and then there was a thumping sound, as if the birds had been alerted and flew away.

"You are destroying the peace here." Matthew couldn't help but complain.

"Haha." Renly laughed cheerfully, and then issued a "shh" instruction, allowing the noise to settle down slowly, and then the natural voice could be heard.

Matthew stood beside him for a moment and hesitated for a moment, then he also lay down, not far from the side.

At the beginning, his movements were still a little restrained, and the suit and leather attire was really not suitable for getting close to nature, but slowly, the tense muscles were relieved, and those trivial sounds could be caught in his ears: the wind blowing on the treetops , Crickets jumping in the grass, birds spreading their wings... A little, a little, the thin sound seems to be able to outline the footsteps of nature, as if children are really playing and chasing, those crisp laughter can't help but relax the tense nerves down.

When he opened his eyes, Matthew saw the sky above his head. The blue sky was quietly revealing his face between the mottled treetops. Occasionally, he could capture some traces of clouds, drifting leisurely. It seems that it is just a blink of an eye, and it changes into a different appearance.

Inexplicably, the mood calmed down like this.

"Haight is in the freezer now."

Without warning, Matthew said aloud, and then he could hear Renly's puzzled voice, "Huh?" Seemingly not understanding what this sentence meant, Matthew went on to explain, "Hait's hometown is Glasgow, he had always wanted to be back in his hometown, but his father was reluctant to pay for it, and there was an altercation between Henry and Haight's children, and neither side was happy with the other's reaction."

"I made a request for help, and I paid all the expenses, but Haight's child refused my help." At this point, Matthew paused slightly. Obviously, he was rejected, which made Matthew a little hurt. He thought his relationship with Haight was special, but when it happened, he was still classified under the "Dunlop family" label, and his help was considered a "charity of mercy".

"So, Haight is in the freezer now. I don't know how they're going to fix it, but right now, they haven't been able to conclude whether the funeral should be in London or back in Glasgow. Obviously, London is a realistic choice, and Glasgow is the ideal choice, they are like all ordinary people, they refuse to accept reality and refuse to let go of their pride. So that's it."

A few words, revealing too much information.

Matthew rejected Henry's request and refused to return to London. There are too many stories behind the seemingly simple decision.

"...Freezer?" Renly frowned slightly, and the slightly raised voice was full of doubt and confusion, "Are they sure this is the best choice?"

"Yes, I know." Matthew nodded affirmatively. "I think it's a stupid choice. I don't want Haight lying in the freezer."

"It's absurd." Renly didn't know how to describe how he felt. The image of a freezer came to his mind, and then he imagined that Haight was lying in it, this... Isn't this what serial killers do?

Thoughts began to sprout.

"I remember that summer in Ambleside, did Haight get a knee injury and a little bit of a leg problem? It's rare that he didn't play our cricket game."

Renly had only begun to speak, and Matthew's memory began to come alive, and he responded in a low voice, "Yeah. He said that his knees can already smell the breath of winter, which is the wisdom of the body, as if we are passionate about it. As involved in cricket, he is keen to watch cricket, as summer

Sunshine in general. "

"Did Haight misunderstand me?" asked Renly, who didn't like cricket at all.

The corners of Matthew's mouth rose slightly, "Hait would say, that's because your acting is so good that he couldn't see the flaw."

Ren Li pursed the corners of his mouth and nodded lightly, "I can accept such a statement."

The two did not continue talking, the noise slowly subsided, the sounds of nature swayed gently in the air, and the sparse and lazy afternoon sunlight penetrated the layers of treetops and sprinkled on the fingertips and eyebrows, which seemed to be captured in the coldness. It was a little warm, but over time, the coolness and bitterness of late autumn rose from the ground, burrowed into the blood along the pores, and then all the comfort and romance disappeared, and I couldn't help shivering.

"Let's go back." Renly stood up first, almost fell asleep, but was woken up by the cold, and now he finally knew what it was like to be a tramp.

Matthew also stood up, but didn't say much - based on Renly's performance today, he was skeptical that they would be able to go home now, and his guess...was correct.

They did return to Manhattan, but they still didn't go home. First, they went to a small park in Brooklyn, where countless professional skateboarders gathered. Renly forced Matthew to learn to skateboard, and Matthew was directly mad. Went to a private dessert workshop for afternoon tea and did two things before actually going home.

First, I went to a high-end French restaurant for a formal dinner - the two of them were not so neatly dressed, and they were almost kicked out; then I went to the supermarket to buy five carts of daily necessities, enough to fill the refrigerators for both of them. It's full, and it's full.

"...Are you sure you don't need my help?" Renly was in Matthew's study, looking for books worth reading.

"Are you sure you can help?" Matthew's voice came from the kitchen, and his calm words were full of questioning complaints.

Renly thought about it seriously, "Fair enough." Anyway, when he went to the kitchen, it was probably a disservice, and the simple things became more difficult.

At this time, the whole kitchen was full of daily necessities. Although the administrator of the apartment was responsible for moving all the items to Matthew's apartment, the finishing part still needed to be done by Matthew himself-they didn't have their own housekeeper, and the problem was The thing is, Renly's refrigerator is not used at all, and he has to go to Indio to attend the music festival. In other words, everything is stuffed in Matthew's house.

This……?

Matthew turned around and looked at the thing that looked like a hill, with a hint of helplessness in his eyes, but he was still organized and started to organize it step by step.

"This should be...the first layer of preservation...this should be the bottom layer of preservation...this...um...this should be placed in the freezing layer..."

The organization maze in the brain is orderly, and even every position on each floor of the refrigerator can be arranged according to a fixed pattern, and then Matthew opened the cabinet door on the freezer side of the refrigerator. It rolled out in a rush, and was caught off guard.

how is this possible?

Matthew's refrigerator is always neat and orderly, and it is absolutely impossible to be in such a messed-up state - who else can harass Matthew's refrigerator so recklessly except Renly?

Matthew was a little helpless.

Looking down, all were frozen chicken breasts, and then looking at the frozen chicken breasts in his hand, Matthew was just speechless, and he didn't know what to say.

Although he knew that Renly was adjusting his diet, he couldn't overeat, and he still needed to adjust the nutritional ratio and ingredient selection. Chicken breast was undoubtedly one of the important components, but... the entire freezer was already full. Bought so much?

Has it become a habit?

Matthew bent down to pick up the frozen chicken breasts and put them in the freezer—because there were still many boxes on the ground, they couldn’t just be melted on the ground. Originally, he planned to wait until they were all put in the freezer, and then slowly organize them, but When he got up, his head slammed into the refrigerator door. A sharp pain caused Matthew to let go of his hands subconsciously, and all the chicken breasts in his arms were scattered on the ground.

pain!

But Matthew still gritted his teeth and resisted the pain. His eyes were a little dazed. He raised his head and looked at the freezer. He tried to put those chicken breasts in first, temporarily closed the refrigerator door, and sorted it out later, but he didn't know how to return. I couldn't close the refrigerator door, and then I felt a sharp pain in my chest.

The mountains swept like a tsunami.
