Acknowledge

"Coming?" Gu Xiao sat firmly on the chair, with his fingers crossed and casually placed on his lap.

Gu Xi helped the backpack straps on his shoulders, pushed the suitcase to the seat next to Gu Xiao, walked over slowly and sat down, "Why did you come so early?"

"Well," Gu Xiao glanced at Gu Xi, then looked away, "...Will the winter vacation come earlier?"

"It depends." Gu Xi replied ambiguously.

The waiting room was full of sounds of dragging suitcases and pedestrians walking. The radio frequently broadcast the notice of train ticket inspection.Had lunch nearby at eleven o'clock, took a short break and started queuing up to check tickets. Gu Xi lined up in front of Gu Xiao, staring straight ahead with his back stiffly, in order to ensure that there would be no need to back up until the people in front walked a few steps away Only then did he dare to follow up.

Suddenly there was a soft reprimand from a woman from behind, it seemed that the child had made a mistake, Gu Xi had just raised his foot to move forward with the team, when his leg was hit hard by something soft.He staggered to the side and almost bumped into other lines, but fortunately a pair of arms stretched out in time to support him.

He lowered his head to look at the lump, and it turned out to be a little boy.

A woman hurried over with another child, took the child to the side, and sternly reprimanded the child: "I told you not to run around, and see how well-behaved my brother is? Did mother ever say what my brother should do?" Sample?"

The child pouted in grievance, and whispered, "...set an example for my younger brother."

"Apologize to brother!" The woman pushed the child, then looked at Gu Xi and Gu Xiao apologetically, "I'm really sorry, the child is too naughty."

"It's okay, kid." Gu Xi said in a harmonious voice.

"Brother, I'm sorry." The child looked at Gu Xi, "I didn't hit you on purpose, the little pinball my brother gave me rolled over, I want to chase..."

Hearing this, Gu Xi subconsciously looked at the floor behind him, but there were no children's toys within his sight range, and he probably rolled far away.

"Brother is fine. There are too many people here, and you can still buy toys. If you run around, you will get lost with your mother and brother." Gu Xi squatted down and looked at the child.

"But it was given to me by my brother..." the child muttered softly.

Gu Xi was a little helpless, in fact, he didn't want to talk too much with the child, after all they were still queuing up, but the child's aggrieved eyes made him unbearable.He glanced at the woman, and said to the child: "My brother won't mind, you have to listen to your mother and stop running around!" After speaking, he stood up, obviously no longer intending to chat, and smiled at the woman With a smile, he pushed the suitcase and walked forward.

Behind her is the sound of the woman's high heels walking away, and what she said to the child: hold your brother's hand, and run around again...

Did Gu Xiao cherish him so much before?Gu Xi couldn't help but think, it's a pity that his memories are full of hopeless pursuits and ruthless rejection, so he can't even deceive himself and others even once.

If there was no chasing when I was a child, there would be no persistence today.

Gu Xi thought.

After getting into the car, Gu Xiao asked him to sit on the inside, and then put the two suitcases onto the luggage rack one after another.Gu Xi wanted to come by himself, but Gu Xiao snatched the suitcase directly, so he secretly enjoyed the feeling of being taken care of for a while with sweetness in his heart.

"Gu Xi, backpack." Gu Xiao put the suitcase away, and reached out to get the backpack that Gu Xi was holding in his arms.

"I'll hold it." Gu Xi said.

"Aren't you tired?" A faint smile overflowed from the corner of Gu Xiao's mouth.

"It's not heavy, it's all for food." Gu Xi didn't let go.

Gu Xiao didn't insist, and sat down next to him, directly opened the zipper of the backpack, and rummaged through the contents with one hand.There are two packs of potato chips of different flavors, one pack of soda crackers, two boxes of high-calcium milk, one small bag of small bread, one pack of beef jerky, one pack of dried squid, a piece of chocolate, a power bank and a data cable.Gu Xi's backpack moved a little towards Gu Xiao's side, making it easier for him to hunt for treasures.But Gu Xiao rummaged through everything for a long time and didn't take out anything to eat. He even pouted his mouth slightly, which made Gu Xi a little puzzled. Gu Xiao's taste couldn't have changed so much, could it?

"Why do they even have bread and milk?" Gu Xiao said, their trip was only a four-hour drive, is it necessary to bring these food to satisfy their hunger?

"I bought it before, but I didn't finish it. It will spoil if I put it in the dormitory." Gu Xi replied.

Gu Xiao nodded thoughtfully, grabbed the bag of beef jerky to eat, and Gu Xi also opened a bag of potato chips.After Gu Xiao chewed a few pieces, his eyes fell on the potato chips in Gu Xi's hand. He put the beef jerky back into his bag, then freed up one hand to play with his phone and the other to pick up the potato chips.

Fortunately, he was still worried about how to call Gu Xiao to eat, so Gu Xiao would not be twisted everywhere like him.

After the train started for a while, the things outside the window began to recede rapidly, and Gu Xi gradually felt that his eyelids were heavy.He hasn't slept well lately, and he got up early again this morning, so he's a little sleepy now that he's free.

For a long time, as long as Gu Xiao was close to him, he would not be safe. If he was not hanging on him, he would like to grab his hand to play.They used to be very close, but now he doesn't even dare to lean on Gu Xiao and squint, for fear of repeating the same mistakes.

Unknowingly, his head hit the wall of the car, Xiao thought about the person who was close at hand, and carefully brought those illusions that he longed for but dared not to act, and slept peacefully at close distance.

Consciousness went from lucid to hazy, and then from hazy to lucid. When Gu Xi opened his eyes, he saw darkness outside the window, like night.He frowned and looked at Gu Xiao in a daze, and asked nervously, "Is it evening?"

"Yes, the train is delayed." Gu Xiao smiled.

Gu Xi twisted his sore and aching neck, and looked out of the window again in disbelief. In his impression, the train was rarely delayed, and even if the delay was not that exaggerated, besides, it was impossible for him to sleep for so long.How could it be so dark outside the window that you can't even see the scene... Almost just for a moment, the train seemed to rush into a ball of white light, and the surroundings were as bright as day.

He simply entered a cave, Gu Xiao was teasing him.

Gu Xi straightened his body, pretending that nothing had happened just now, and suddenly found that his hands and legs were empty, and he glanced at him, knowing that the backpack and potato chips had arrived at Gu Xiao's side.After thinking about it, he leaned against the wall of the car again, planning to continue sleeping.

When he woke up again, Gu Xiao also leaned against the back of the chair and fell asleep. He stared at Gu Xiao, with slightly slanted eyebrows, thin eyelids, faint creases, and small fan-like eyelashes, which were gently closed. Lips, with a clear and resolute lip line, with a hint of sensuality.

It would be nice if I could keep looking at him like this.

The train arrived at the station, followed the flow of people out of the station, saw Gu Pingshao and Zhang Hui waving at them beside the car from a distance, Gu Xiao waved in response, and pulled the suitcase over.

"Mom and Dad, did you specially ask for leave to pick us up today?" Gu Xiao asked while stuffing the suitcase into the trunk.

"No, for the sake of you two brats, my mother and I, who are so dedicated, left early, and you two have to stay at home until the last day, do you hear me?" Gu Pingshao helped Gu Xiao put the suitcase, and then Push Gu Xi into the back seat of the car.

"Isn't that a special situation? You've been thinking about it for so long, you guys are really narrow-minded." Gu Xiao laughed.

After the car started, Gu Pingshao asked, "What date do you start school this time?"

"Number 27." Gu Xiao said.

"Me too." Gu Xi also said.

"Isn't that good? Let's go on the 26th." Zhang Hui said happily.

Chatting casually with parents, even if there is little communication between the brothers, there is no flaw.

After dinner, his parents were going for a walk, Gu Xi didn't want to go with them, so he said he wanted to find Dong Lin to play.The parents pulled the person who was sitting on the sofa up and told him that Donglin was already an intern and was very busy and had no time to accompany him.After speaking, he also encouraged him and Gu Xiao to learn more from Donglin so that they could graduate a year earlier.

Gu Xi joked to his parents, otherwise I would try to graduate early.

Parents laughed, they worked hard to earn credits when they first entered college, and you are halfway through your sophomore year, silly son.

In many cases, people's interests are always segmented. For the past few months, I have been keen on watching dramas, but when I suddenly encounter some opportunity, I fall in love with listening to music in a blink of an eye.As they get older, this point is more and more vividly reflected in Gu Pingshao and Zhang Hui.

Halfway home from the walk, Gu Pingshao suddenly said that he was going to play chess with his friends; Zhang Hui followed him, saying that he was going to play badminton.

The two brothers walked forward and back, the winter night wind mixed with a slight whistling, which replaced the silence between the two, but made the emotions in their hearts more restless.

"How are you and Ji...?" Gu Xiao asked suddenly.

It took Gu Xi a while to reply: "It's nothing."

"You really...really..." Gu Xiao hesitated for a long time before saying the next words in a low voice: "...do you like him?"

Gu Xi stopped in his tracks, raised his eyes and fixedly stared at the back of the head of the person in front of him, watching him walk away with gentle steps.Like, on and on, out of his world.

Give him the result he wants.

Perhaps it took too long to get an answer, the man turned his head suspiciously, and the distance between him and him had become a few meters away.He just looked at himself so quietly, without saying a word, and he remained silent.

After a long time, he came over suddenly, hugged himself into his arms, and murmured: "Don't like him, okay..."

Sure enough, his embrace is the warmest and most lustful place in the world.

"...Gu Xiao, don't do this." But he gently pushed Gu Xiao.

Gu Xiao refused to listen, and hugged him even tighter. The child said angrily like a baby: "I won't allow it, Gu Xi, did you hear me, I won't allow it!"

In fact, Gu Xi wants to say that no matter who he likes in the future, or who he doesn't like, there is only one ending for the two of them.

"Gu Xiao let go, let's stop talking about this topic, it's boring." Gu Xi said lightly, as if there was a sharp knife hidden in his chest.

"I don't want to let go, do you want to give your parents an excuse and run away so that I can't find them everywhere? I don't believe that you like the current state, I don't believe that you hate me because of the surname Ji, I don't believe that we ever Today is so good it’s all fake, you brought all the snacks I like, you really care about me! Gu Xi, you always lie, you lie to me and yourself, I have to tell you the truth, is it so difficult to admit it? ?” Gu Xiao hugged him hard, as if trying to embed him in his bone marrow.

"...Yes, I care about you, because you are my elder brother." Gu Xi lowered his arms, hanging powerlessly by his side.

Gu Xiao's arms trembled, and he slowly buried his face into Gu Xi's shoulder socket.

"...I, love every one of my relatives," Gu Xi continued to speak softly, following the cold night wind into Gu Xiao's ears, "Including you, Gu Xiao, I also... love you so much."

His throat was sore, this was probably what he wanted to say to Gu Xiao the most, it had been stuck in his mind for so long, but he finally said it, it was even more blocked.

But only in this way.

The hug under the lamp, even the shadow hurts a little.

"Gu Xi, promise me, please, quickly find a girlfriend and let me...see you." Gu Xiao said in a dull voice, but it was rare calm.

"Ah."

When a person encounters something that he cannot easily give up but has to give up, can he be forced to give up only after hurting himself to the point of being powerless?

At this time, facing the distorted fate, he chose to obey in the frenzy and helplessness.
