Chapter 13 This dull trip

Noon. The sunshine naughtily crashed into the window, cast on the bed, somewhat warm, somewhat dazzling. Shi Xi lightly frowned, he opened his eyes to find Guo Zhi staring at him. He sat up.

Guo Zhi stood up: "I'll help you pull the curtains, you continue to sleep. I will quietly stay in the room." He really was very quiet that he even twisted open the lid by clutching onto using his clothes to drink.

Shi Xi's face was expressionless: "Why are you here?"

"Why what? Didn't I say I want to travel together with you? I'm ready, I have explained to home, it was not easy to come out!" Guo Zhi was anxious, he shook his own bag in front of Shi Xi to prove that he was well prepared.

Shi Xi stood up: "What has it got to do with me."

"It is your business!" Guo Zhi twitched his mouth, preparing to say what? Shi Xi took off his clothes, his action was so casual, the clothes were thrown onto the bed. Guo Zhi stuttered again: "An- and." What did he want to say? He cannot remember. Guo Zhi stared at Shi Xi's clothes on the pure white bed sheet. He wriggled his finger and suddenly said: "Shi Xi, next time can you not take off your clothes in front of me? It will break my train of thoughts."

Shi Xi stared at Guo Zhi with a glance, his expression seemed to not have noticed the meaning behind his words. Shi Xi did not speak and went into the bathroom.

Shi Xi did not have much luggage, a change of clothes, a few books; Guo Zhi also did not have much luggage, a change of clothes and Shi Xi's laptop. They did not go too far away from the city. The bus on the highway smoothly moved forward, Shi Xi watched outside the window, the landscape in his pupil flashed by, he wore earplugs. Guo Zhi sat on his side gnawing biscuits and reading, the biscuit crumbs fell onto the book, he brushed them off and continued read. Not long after, Guo Zhi slightly tilted his head to look at Shi Xi. The hat could not cover his good looking side face. His face had no expression and seemed to have everything.

Guo Zhi's chest hid the deafening sounds of his heartbeat, he suddenly used force to wipe his eyes, wanting to wipe away this confusion from his body's sight. Hands stained with biscuit crumbs went into his eyes, his left eye could not open, he began to rub his eyes.

Shi Xi felt the movement by his side, he turned his head to the side see Guo Zhi rubbing his eyes hard. That situation, will he not give up until he goes blind from rubbing[1]: "What are you doing?"

[1]不揉瞎是不会罢休的

"Something went into my eyes."

"Stop rubbing."

"But my eyes are uncomfortable."

"I told you not to rub." Shi Xi caught his wrist, the other hand strut Guo Zhi's rather red left eye. Guo Zhi worried, asked: "How is it?"

"Blind."

"Really? Then why can I still see? Then what will I do in the future? I'm immediately going to go to university, I need both eyes!" Guo Zhi panickingly said.

"You believe whatever I say? Do you not have a brain?"

"I so believe in you and not only do you lie to me, you also scold me!"

"Don't blindly move." Shi Xi leaned to Guo Zhi's left eye gently blowing, the foreign body sensation disappeared but the sound of his heartbeat was even more violent.

"You are really skilled!" Guo Zhi tightly grabbed his chest's clothes. In the end this sentence boasting Shi Xi easily made his eyes recover, or Shi Xi easily made his heart beat change speed. Guo Zhi himself isn't clear.

Got of the bus. The weather was drowsy. Shi Xi is a person who has no plans, wherever they go is where (they end up). Guo Zhi is a person who follows Shi Xi. Wherever Shi Xi goes is where he goes.

Guo Zhi curiously looked at this rather unfamiliar city, he liked this type of strangeness and freshness. All around are unfamiliar people, dialect and food. They shuttle among the rest, flood therein.

They chose to settle at a remote and small hostel, a ragged old person slept at the entrance. Guo Zhi pitifully looked, he fished out some money putting it in front of him. Inside the hostel, the propetieress' att.i.tude was very poor, she applied makeup conspicuously,[2] looked cold and indifferent at the computer fighting the Landlord[4]: "How many rooms?"

[2] 浓妆艳抹 nong zhuang Yan mo is an idiot which means dressed to the nines and wearing makeup

[3] 爱理不理 to attend sb. half heartedly, to look cold and indifferent etc

[4] 斗地主 a card game

"Two rooms."

"ID."

The hostel had a thick smoke and pungent perfume smell. Guo Zhi stood at the counter, and not because the surroundings had any impact, with a smile, looked at the proprietress' computer, he reminded "Proprietress, you should lead."

The proprietress indifferently glanced at him once and did not acknowledge him. They stepped on the carpeted stairs covered in holes, went to the rooms on the third floor. Guo Zhi pinched the dirty fallen door card, he curiously followed Shi Xi's behind looking to the left and to the right as if everything was interesting and can attract his interest.

They returned to their respective rooms, but not a while later, Guo Zhi used strength to knock on Shi Xi's door. A look of horror saying: "My room has a strange noise."

Shi Xi frowned walking over to Guo Zhi's room but he was pulled by Guo Zhi: "Don't go, in horror films usually the person who does not believe and goes to see, is the first to die!"

"Let go."

Guo Zhi let go and followed behind Shi Xi, entering the room they were able to hear a faint banging sound and indistinct woman's moans.

"Is it haunted?"

"This is reproduction."

Guo Zhi's face flushed, suddenly did not know what to say, the moans lingered on.

Shi Xi who felt rather baffled towards Guo Zhi's reaction, asked: "You've never watched third category movies[5]?"

"Of, of course not." Guo Zhi's face even redder, ears also flushed: "I only watch first category movies and second category movies, I will not watch third category movies!"[5]

[5] x-rated movies, soft p.o.r.n, movies that contain s.e.xual and violent content.

"Your taste is not light."

"I don't understand what you are saying! First category is martial arts movies, isn't second category romance movies?" Guo Zhi asked with complete confidence, then thought that this is in fact his own understanding, he asked again rather weakly: "Isn't it?"

"I can tell you very clearly that it isn't"

"What?! Unless it's" Guo Zhi covered his own mouth, his face became ashen,[6] remembering when he was in junior high school, in order to prove to his mother that he was well behaved, he ran to his mother's kitchen to guarantee: "Mother, don't worry. I have never watched a third category movie, only watch first category and second category." Of course mother's reaction was very strange, just whispered to reprimand: "You this child what on earth are you talking about."

[6] someone who is ashen looks very pale, especially because they are ill, shocked or frightened.

That, that, Guo Zhi shook his head (finding it) hard to accept this new knowledge.

Shi Xi watched Guo Zhi in askance: "I guess you're that stupid, it's already been said to a lot of people."

"Only, only three, four." No wonder, no wonder their reaction were very strange, they never refused to point out this matter bluntly!

"Your stupidity always constantly surprises me." Shi Xi's words with heavy taste of irony, he turned to return to his own room. Not a while later, took his bag into Guo Zhi's room and pushed Guo Zhi's bag and Guo Zhi out of the room.

Guo Zhi clung onto his baggage, (after) exchanging rooms with Shi Xi, his room is very quiet. Guo Zhi bathed then drilled into the duvet, thinking that Shi Xi is next door, he oddly[7] felt very relieved. He didn't care about his surroundings and other things because he was caring about things that will cover all of these. This is a wonderful trip.

[7] 莫名其妙 unfathomable mystery (idiom) meaning subtle and ineffable

Shi Xi stood at the room's window, in his ear are the sound of moans, he watched the dirty scene outside in the darkness of the night. The room is very dark with only the weak light of the laptop. This is a dull trip.

As for why (they) chose here, isn't it because of students poverty. Shi Xi has his own intentions.

Guo Zhi wanted to make Shi Xi see the beautiful and good of the world.

And Shi Xi wanted Guo Zhi to understand the world is ugly and unbearable.

He had many unnecessary things, Guo Zhi's innocence is the most unnecessary.
