In the middle of the night, the air conditioner seemed to be turned down, even though the whole person was wrapped in a quilt, it was still a bit cold.Gu Xi turned over and was woken up by the cold.

Slightly squinting his eyes and shaking his gaze, he just wanted to get up and turn up the temperature, when a black shadow on Gu Xiao's bed startled him, and he became fully conscious.

Gu Xi supported the edge of the bed with both hands and sat on the edge of the bed, with his feet in slippers and only the pajamas on his body, he just looked at him motionlessly.

Isn't he cold?Gu Xi was startled.

"...Gu Xiao, why don't you sleep?"

Seeing him wake up, Gu Xiao got up, dragged his shoes to the side of his bed, and then lay down next to him through the quilt.He struggled to retreat to the side, but Gu Xiao hugged him even under the quilt, his arms tightened tighter and tighter.

"...Gu Xi, Gu Xi..."

"Gu Xiao, what are you doing? Let go!" Gu Xi yelled in a low voice, trying to break free, but Gu Xiao turned a deaf ear to him, and only focused on tightening him tightly, burying his face in his neck, in a daze He kept calling his name.

"...Gu Xiao, you're going to catch a cold like this, go back to bed." Gu Xi pulled out a hand to break away the sleepwalking person, but the hug was too tight, and he couldn't use his strength, so he still couldn't break it off. open.

"...Don't go, okay...Gu Xi...Xiao Xi, Xiao Xi..." Gu Xiao kept mumbling, and Gu Xi's hand stretched out of the quilt was getting weaker and weaker.

Touching Gu Xiao's cold arm, my heart throbbed so painfully, as if being pinched by something, blood was overflowing, and it was about to be crushed.

A sound of begging came out of Gu Xiao's mouth, like a long delay.

Gu Xiao, you can't do this, this... I won't be able to hold on...

"...Xiaoxi...please, I don't want...not even to see..."

The intermittent words gradually became nasal, and something cold around his neck scalded his skin, burning into his throat like sulfuric acid, making it difficult for him to breathe.

"... Gu Xi... I can't stand it..."

"...Don't go...I don't want you to be with me anymore...Can we be brothers, huh? We are the same as before...I will work hard, just be your brother, okay..."

"...Please, Gu Xi..."

Biting his lips tightly, Gu Xi pulled out the half of the quilt that was being pressed by Gu Xiao little by little, then covered the two of them, turned sideways and hugged that cold body tightly, but couldn't respond to any of his words.

The next morning, Gu Xiao sat on Gu Xi's bed with red and swollen eyelids and watched Gu Xi pack his luggage. The quilt was half piled and half covered on his legs crookedly, and the sunlight from the window fell on him. The pajamas cast a beautiful shadow on the smooth neck.

Gu Xi didn't dare to look back at him, so he folded his usual clothes and put them in the suitcase.He got up very early and wanted to pack up before Gu Xiao got up, but he didn't expect Gu Xiao to wake up not long after he got up.

The room was filled with dead silence, no one said anything, only the friction of cloth and cloth.It was too depressing, Gu Xi didn't bother to fold the clothes, he stuffed the clothes into the suitcase, and then hurriedly pulled the suitcase out of the room.

Remembering that the phone was still in the room, he went back nervously.Gu Xiao still maintained the posture just now, motionless, but no longer looked at him, his eyes stared blankly ahead, not knowing what he was looking at, like a blind man who couldn't find the focus of his sight.

At the moment when he pulled all the luggage and closed the door, Gu Xi never imagined that Gu Xiao's begging all night and the dull eyes in the morning would become his most painful and heart-wrenching nightmare for a long time in the future.

If he knew, maybe he wouldn't let him experience such a bad parting; if he knew, maybe he wouldn't be unresponsive to his pleading last night; if he knew, maybe he wouldn't leave in such a hurry.

The people in the internship unit are easy to get along with. Gu Xi is the youngest among the interns, so he is always teased as a younger brother.He is also quite lucky. The boss who leads him is famously capable in the company, and he has learned a lot from him.The only bad thing is that this boss is a bit harsh. There were a few times when Gu Xi was scolded for nothing by him.

Back at the residence, Gu Xi sat in front of the French window, quietly recalling what his boss had scolded him, feeling very sad, and wanted to find someone to confide in, but in the end he found that he didn't know who to turn to.Because of Gu Xiao's relationship since he was a child, he didn't dare to go out, because the children were all in the same faction as Gu Xiao, helping Gu Xiao bully him.I started to have some friends in high school, but they didn't get along very well. Later, when I met Ji Jiuxia and Xiao Xun, I thought they would become good buddies, but they ended up like that.

If Ji Jiuxia didn't come to contact him, he would definitely not dare to contact Ji Jiuxia, and he didn't know how to face Xiao Xun, who believed in him so much.

On Friday night, Gu Pingshao personally drove the car to pick him up, and kept asking him about his work situation along the way. He told Gu Pingshao a lot based on the principle of reporting good news and not bad news.Back home, Zhang Hui asked again. He didn't want to say it again, but he couldn't bear to see his mother's expectant eyes, so he could only repeat the narration. Gu Pingshao listened to it again, but he still enjoyed it.

"Gu Xiao... isn't there?" He found out as soon as he entered the house, and wanted to wait for his parents to "inadvertently" tell him about Gu Xiao's whereabouts, but his parents seemed to be more interested in his work, so they kept delaying. do not mention.

"He, he went to play with Sun Yi at his hometown this morning, and he probably won't come back in the next two days." Gu Pingshao said, "Really, I told him that you came back today, and asked him to go back on Monday. , he refused to listen!"

Gu Xiao didn't want to see him anymore.

... also good.

"Xiao Xi, how about eating outside by yourself? Why don't you go home to eat at night, since you don't know how to cook, it's not good to eat outside all the time?" Zhang Hui suddenly asked worriedly.

"Then what's the point of me renting a house outside?" Gu Xi smiled, "Don't worry, I can learn slowly. There are many things I don't understand at work. I need to spend more time, otherwise I will be exhausted after the internship. I'm leaving."

"That's right, it's not that easy for young people just out of society, you should put in more energy, but you also need to ensure your health," Gu Pingshao, as a person who has experienced it, understands what Gu Xi said very well, "Well, anyway, Xiao Xiao If you stay at home all day with nothing to do, when he comes back, drive him to your side and let him be your housekeeper."

"No, no, no," Gu Xi quickly dismissed it, realizing that his reaction was a little off, and explained: "Gu Xiao is still in school, if he doesn't take advantage of these days to play more, he will be suffocated to death when school starts, it's okay dad , I can do it myself, but I can't ask someone to take care of me for the rest of my life."

Gu Pingshao pondered for a while, then said helplessly: "...Okay, you! It's just too worry-free."

While chatting, Gu Pingshao suddenly sighed: "Oh, time flies so fast, the little doll who was fighting with Xiao Xiao to be hugged by Dad is now alone, and suddenly I feel a little bit reluctant to let my Xiaoxi grow up so fast , like Xiao Xiao, it would be better to delay it for another year or two..."

Gu Xi's throat choked up after hearing this, and tears just overflowed, "Dad..."

Zhang Hui also cried, and slapped Gu Pingshao pretending to be angry, "Okay, what are you talking about, we should be happy when our son grows up! Besides, coming back every week is better than when we were in school." How many, will it count, you?"

"Yes, yes, yes, father will stop talking, Xiao Xi will stop crying, what a boy he is! Men don't cry when they cry, don't learn from your mother!"

"...Haha, mom, dad is talking about you." Gu Xi complained to Zhang Hui half crying and half laughing.

"What do you mean don't imitate me? Do you understand that I'm rich in emotion?" Zhang Hui wiped away her tears and said angrily.

"I understand, I understand, what Huihui said is correct!" Gu Pingshao took Zhang Hui into his arms and coaxed him like a child, Zhang Hui pushed him away dumbfounded.

It's fun, that's all.

What a wonderful family, it's great that my mother can marry Gu Pingshao, and he can meet Gu Xiao.

……very nice.

On Sunday night, the husband and wife sent their son back to the rented house together, walked around the house, and helped the son pack a lot of things before returning home reluctantly.

Gu Xi's graduation thesis hadn't been finished yet, and his boss began to arrange more work for him, which caused him to almost return to the state when he was frantically studying credits, and he couldn't spare any free time.So after foreseeing his hectic weekend, Gu Xi could only call Gu Pingshao with a trace of guilt to tell Gu Pingshao that he had to work overtime on the weekend and could not go home.

While working, he was counting the days when Gu Xiao would start school. In two weeks, Gu Xiao would almost have to go to school. If he couldn't go home next week, it might take another semester to see him.

Thinking of this, he lifted his spirits, and hurriedly finished the work at hand, but while doing it, he began to hesitate again, what did he see Gu Xiao doing?Gu Xiao's appearance that morning is still vivid in his memory, and Gu Xiao doesn't want to see him at all. Even if he goes back, it will only add to his sadness.

How could he have forgotten that it was he who had to separate from Gu Xiao, and it was he who didn't want to see Gu Xiao first.

Waiting until the weekend again, Gu Pingshao asked him if he could go home, and he said he had to work overtime.

After hanging up the phone, he looked at the final results that had been worked overtime on the computer, and couldn't help laughing at the heart that was out of his control.

One Thursday, Zhang Hui suddenly called him and asked him if he was free on Friday. Gu Xiao was going to school.

He was taken aback, didn't Gu Xiao still have a week to start school?I couldn't help but confirm it again: "He... is going to school tomorrow?"

"That's right, it's because the student union has something to do, so you have to go early. You can spare some time and go home for dinner tonight. I'll send him to the company tomorrow."

"I... on my side, I can't leave." This is also true, he never expected that Gu Xiao would go ahead of time, and he was not prepared at all.

"Is there really no time at all? It's okay to come back later, he's gone for a semester!" Zhang Hui said anxiously.

"...Then I will try my best to see it, and if I have time, I will go back."

"Okay, then I'll hang up, try your best!"

"Ah."

In the end, Gu Xi checked the time while he was busy. He was busy until 10 o'clock and there were still some things that he could not finish.However, when I got home by taxi, I saw my parents standing downstairs talking.

Zhang Hui was a little surprised when she saw him, "I thought you weren't coming back. Xiao Xiao just went out with Xiao Yi and the others, and took the suitcase with her. I'll go directly to the station tomorrow morning."

Gu Xi felt lost for a while, no wonder the car that passed by him just now looked familiar, "Really? Then... I'll go back first."

"Hey, we're all back, let's go to the company tomorrow morning." Gu Pingshao called him to stop.

He looked at Gu Pingshao in a daze, "Actually, I haven't finished the task at hand... Since I won't send Gu Xiao off, I'll go back and get on with my work."

"Then I'll see you off." Gu Pingshao took Gu Xi's shoulders and walked towards the garage.

Gu Xi pulled Gu Pingshao back, "Dad, no need, I'll take a taxi back by myself, it's getting late, you guys go back and rest quickly."

"Pay attention to your body!" Zhang Hui said.

"Well, I see, you guys go back quickly!" Gu Xi said, and walked outside the community.

Gu Xiao is going to take the postgraduate entrance examination. This is what Gu Pingshao told him. This semester should start to be very busy. Will that person who hates reading so much sit still all day?

The internship assessment was coming soon, and Gu Xi didn't go home for another few weeks, but what is gratifying is that he got a formal position in the HM Group.Despite the mediocre start, the family is still very happy. After all, the prospect lies there, and with the leadership of the company's elite, I believe that the future progress will not be small.

During the winter vacation, Gu Xiao didn't come back, even if it was Chinese New Year.

During the summer vacation, Gu Xiao didn't come back, even if he didn't return for a year.

His reasons were legitimate, but not sufficient. He said he wanted to read, but his parents couldn't call him back.

Gu Xiao is different from Gu Xi, Gu Xi is soft-hearted and obedient, Gu Pingshao and Zhang Hui will say a few more words and he will obediently submit, but if Gu Xiao says no, it means no, even if he goes to the school to pull him, it may not be so. can pull him back.

Parents asked Gu Xi to call Gu Xiao, saying that Gu Xiao might listen to him, Gu Xi had no choice but to call in front of his parents.The phone kept busy, and it was only connected at the last moment. However, neither of them spoke, but Zhang Hui anxiously kept asking Gu Xiao if he answered the phone.

"...Gu Xiao, you..."

beep...

Before he could finish his sentence, the phone had already hung up.This was the first time he called Gu Xiao in a long time, and he didn't even hear his voice.

During the few nights when Gu Xi went home, he secretly slept on Gu Xiao's bed, as if his breath could fill up an empty heart a little bit, and then he would have the strength to endure it again. After that, he still couldn't see that person time.
