Pride and tenderness

The next day was the weekend, He Yue didn't wake up until noon, she came back in a hurry last night, she even forgot to close the window, it rained all night, the bed was a bit damp.

Dong Fei may have gone out with his girlfriend on a date, and he disappeared a long time ago. He Yue lay with her eyes open for a while, and slowly got up from the bed to read a book.

The phone rang again, he thought for a while, and connected.

"have you woken up?"

"Get up." He Yue paused, then added, "Congratulations, I forgot to say that last time."

"You are really..." Gu Ran seemed to be gnashing his teeth a little bit, "I'm about to get married, are you still so calm?"

"Why, I'm happy for you."

"You expect me to get married so much?"

"You're old too, it's a good thing to be early."

"He Yue, if you don't want to, I can stop this marriage immediately."

"...Don't be joking."

"I'm not joking!"

"The wedding is only a few days away, so prepare well..."

Gu Ran snorted, "You are really ruthless."

He Yue was stunned, and asked, "You are looking for me, what's the matter?"

"That's right, because the wedding is very tight and I haven't had time to choose the ring, can you come out and help me choose the ring."

He Yue felt her throat tighten, she was silent for a while before saying, "I'm working overtime, it's not convenient."

"Cut, what's the point of working overtime in a broken supermarket?"

He Yue heard the sound of metal colliding slightly, and heard Gu Ran say:

"I see plain rings, diamond rings, square rings, heart-shaped rings, row rings... I don't know which one she likes."

"You put so much thought into it, no matter what kind of ring, she will like it."

"Forget it, let me find someone else, I guess you are not good at aesthetics."

Gu Ran hung up the phone.

He Yue sat for a long time, and her back gradually became stiff.

Even though he was at home, he used the excuse of working overtime, not out of anger or resentment.

He didn't have any sharp feelings like resentment, he just couldn't figure it out.

He couldn't help but think of the way Gu Ran said "I'm serious about you" to him at that time.

When he thought of the man's sincere black eyes at that time, he would have a stinging question in his heart: "Why?"

But he knew he was the least qualified to ask.

When Gu Ran showed affection to him, he kept hiding, desperately refusing, and evading countless times.But now that Gu Ran has stopped, he can't lick his face again and ask others why.

He can only accept, just like accepting Gu Ran's approach back then, accepting Gu Ran's current distance.

He knows that there is always a time limit for good things, if you don't catch them in time, they will be gone.

Just like when he was very young, he saw a very beautiful toy car in the mall, and his aunt asked him if he wanted it. At that time, the toy car was bought by others.

His whole life was so meek, hesitant, and slowly suffering, and gradually, everything was lost.Such as time, such as health, such as his eyes, such as Gu Ran's "like".

In the early morning of the next day, before dawn, He Yue set off for City E.

After taking a plane, taking a bus, walking the mountain road, and finally standing outside the temple, it was already afternoon.

The ancient temple is hidden among the green pines and green cypresses, the ancient trees are towering, and there are few tourists. Only the sound of chanting sutras and chanting Buddha can be heard in the distance, which is particularly distant and quiet in this autumn.

He Yue straightened her clothes, bought three sticks of incense, entered the Buddhist hall, and knelt down in front of the stone statue for a long time.

Samantabhadra Bodhisattva, wearing colorful clothes, holding a ruyi, riding a white elephant with six tusks, his compassionate face seems to be able to penetrate all the sufferings in the world.

It's just that there is an obsession in the heart, but how to resolve it?

The Bodhisattva said nothing, just smiled quietly and looked down at him.

After burning incense, He Yue took off the safety button around her neck and put it on the futon.

This safety buckle was obtained by Gu Ran in this temple.

In this way, it can be regarded as returning to the original owner.

Finally came the day of Gu Ran's marriage.

Gu Ran's wedding was held in a seaside resort hotel near City B. The wedding venue had already been arranged half a month in advance, and the entire hotel was booked so that guests from other provinces could stay in advance.

The scale of the wedding ceremony was not too big or small, and some close relatives and friends were invited. Security personnel were arranged at all entrances and exits of the hotel, and reporters and media were strictly prohibited from entering the venue.

Because the distance from the city center to the hotel is not too short, Gu Ran arranged a special car for He Yue in advance, and there was a rectangular white gift box on the seat, with the words "Mr. , a white shirt, and a red wedding invitation at the bottom.

Gu Ran was very thoughtful, not only sent him off in a special car, but also invited him with wedding invitations, and even prepared the formal clothes for the guests. He was so polite that he felt strange.

After He Yue changed her clothes, she saw her own face on the mirror in the changing room, and she couldn't help being stunned for a moment. The person in the mirror was pale and thin, with a gloomy expression, and there was a thin scar under her blind left eye.He stood in front of the mirror for a while, trying to see some light in that pale face.

In the past, people often praised him for being good-looking, but he couldn't tell whether it was good-looking or not. Appearance had always been a vague existence to him, but on the day of Gu Ran's wedding, it was rare for him to pay attention to his own appearance. I hope I can not be too embarrassing.

He Yue went downstairs, and the ceremony hadn't officially started yet, many guests had already seated in advance.

The spacious banquet hall is arranged like a dream, with a sparkling waterway leading in the middle, with a special mist steaming on it, and countless pink and white flower trees surrounded by high and low on both sides. The round tables of the guests are scattered among the sea of ​​flowers Among them, layers of bright starlight and gentle veils are arranged above the head, which is luxurious and beautiful, just like a fairy tale fairyland.

He Yue saw Gu Ran from afar.

The man stood among the layers of flowers and trees, as if he was explaining something to the wedding master of ceremonies.

Still tall and slender with a handsome face, he was wearing a well-tailored black tuxedo with a vest of the same color and a snow-white shirt, a simple grosgrain bow tie, exquisite diamond cufflinks, and a button on the outside of the lapel collar. A single white rose corsage.

As the groom, Gu Ran seemed more stable and serious than ever before.

Gu Ran also saw him, seemed to be slightly taken aback, then smiled at him from a distance, the smile was polite and distant, just like facing an ordinary friend.

The man seemed to have something to do, so he made a simple "I'll leave" gesture to him, then turned and walked away.

The light from the venue happened to hit He Yue, and he was dizzy from the shaking, and his heart ached.According to common sense, people should not be distressed. He may be sick.

He originally wanted to say something to Gu Ran, but Gu Ran didn't even come over, so he just walked away.Those words were stuck in his throat and he couldn't speak, so he could only stand there for a long time in a daze.

He thought, between him and Gu Ran, it was he who walked too slowly after all.

Gu Ran has gone far away, but he is still in place.

The wedding ceremony finally began.

The master of ceremonies made the opening remarks on the stage, and then the officiant delivered a speech. With a burst of jubilant applause, the door at the end of the venue opened, and everyone was looking forward to the bride's appearance.

He Yue sat in the guest banquet, quietly looking at the groom standing on the high platform.

The groom is also looking at him.

He was suddenly a little uncertain.

The melodious and soothing background music sounded, and Gu Ran slowly walked towards him, and that moment seemed to be infinitely extended, almost as long as a century.

The guests at the venue were all quiet, the air was almost frozen, only the pink and white flowers and trees were shaking slightly.

Gu Ran walked up to him, bent his tall body, knelt down on one knee, and looked up at him.

"I hope you can accept me."

"..."

The man put a velvet box in his hand and knelt down to help him open it. Inside was a simple and elegant diamond ring.

"Marry me, will you?"

"..."

"This wedding is for you."

☆, extra episode 1: ending + Dong Fei's troubles

"Outside: The End"

In the great shock and bewilderment, He Yue only said, "Let me think about it."

He did need to think about it, and his mind was in a mess.

What kind of feelings he has for Gu Ran, he also thought about it a little before.

At first, when Gu Ran was not very kind to him, he didn't have too strong resistance, at most he was patient and submissive; later Gu Ran became interested in him and started to be friendly to him. Although he felt a little baffled, but I can't help but feel a little grateful, after all, no matter whether Gu Ran treats him well or badly, he just needs this job to make ends meet.

Besides gratitude, he couldn't tell whether there were other emotions.

It's just that he often thinks of the feeling of Gu Ran pressing on his lips at that time.Once the scene of the two skin-to-skin kisses flashed through my mind, it was like an electric current passed through my back, and even my toes were numb.This feeling was so strange that he didn't dare to think about it any more, but those thoughts were just like sparks in the oil field, igniting the flames with an unstoppable force.

Fortunately, later, Gu Ran suddenly told him that he was getting married.

At that moment, he actually felt relieved.

Now that Gu Ran is getting married, he can stop thinking about some things.

No need to think about where Gu Ran's warmth and enthusiasm for him come from; no need to think about how he will respond to the other party's sincerity similar to love; Palpitations and trembling for what.

It was as if the body was emptied all of a sudden, and so was the heart.He was used to the feeling of exhaustion that was suddenly relieved after losing.

But he didn't expect that the person Gu Ran wanted to "marry" was himself, and even knelt down on one knee, holding a diamond ring in his hand to "propose" to him.

The feeling that his whole heart was raised came back, and he felt flustered and at a loss.

The man was still kneeling on one knee, looking up at him quietly.

Time seemed to have passed for a long time, so long that he suspected that Gu Ran's knees were going to be sore.

"You, you get up first."

Gu Ran looked at him for a while, then stood up silently.

The ring box was still in his hand, the man seemed to hesitate for a while, and finally put it back in his pocket.

The proposal was nothing, and the wedding turned into a cocktail party temporarily. Although the guests were surprised and disappointed, but fortunately, a contingency plan was arranged during the preparations in advance, adding links such as band performances, buffet receptions, and treasure auctions. It is not enough to leave everyone on the spot.

Gu Ran held his hand and whispered in his ear, "Come with me."

He Yue was led away by Gu Ran in a daze, and the two walked out the back door of the venue, walked through the long aisle, went downstairs from the elevator, and walked out of the hotel gate.

The hotel is located on the high ground by the sea, and you can see the tranquil sea level as far as you can see.

The sun was shining brightly outside, without the din of people in the venue, only the sea breeze wafted some salty smell of sea water, blowing quietly and gently on the face.

Gu Ran didn't intend to stop, but just walked forward without saying a word.

The hand was held tightly by the man all the way, the palm was a little wet, and there was no intention of letting go.

In the overly quiet atmosphere, He Yue gradually became a little unsteady in her breathing, so she could only say, "Gu Ran... walk slowly..."

"Ah."

The man slowed down, led him for a while, and stopped on the reef by the sea.

The reef shows a natural slope, and further ahead is the white sandy beach. It is the off-season, and there are no tourists on the beach, only the chirping of seagulls and the sound of sea water hitting the rocks can be heard.

"He Yue." Gu Ran turned around and faced him, "I never thought of forcing you, I just wanted to try again."

"..."

"Anyway, you've already left before, so I'll take it as a gamble, it's better than letting you go."

"..."

"It doesn't matter if you want it or not, I can wait for you."

He Yue wanted to say something, but was overwhelmed by the sound of sea water washing over the reef.

Gu Ran added, "I think you have feelings for me."

"..."

"Am i right?"

"..."

"why do not you speak?"

"..."

"If you don't speak again, I'll take it as your acquiescence." Gu Ran paused, and then said, "If you don't like me or hate me, just say it outright, just say, you don't like me."

The sea wind was stronger, wet and salty, He Yue stood in the wind, her heart seemed to be disturbed.Facing Gu Ran's eyes, he couldn't say "dislike" no matter what.

Because before those three words were spoken, his heart began to ache.

Gu Ran seemed to be very patient, just looking at him like that, waiting quietly for his answer.

In the silence of staring at each other, he felt that his breathing was almost stagnant. He opened his mouth and wanted to say something to relieve the feeling of almost suffocation, but his lips were blocked immediately.

There was only a few seconds of kissing, which seemed to be just to gag his mouth and prevent him from speaking.Before he could recover, Gu Ran let go of him.

"If you don't talk, then you like me."

"..." He Yue was stunned for a long time, then she just whispered, "I have nothing good, I don't deserve you..."

Gu Ran looked at him, "You are the best."

The man took out the put away ring again, and solemnly put it on the ring finger of his left hand.

"Thank you for not rejecting me."

The ring reflected the brilliance under the sun, Gu Ran lowered his head, and kissed his invisible eye.

—— "Fanwai: The End" END——

"Extraordinary: Dong Fei's Troubles"

Dong Fei has been very troubled these days. He finally met a good roommate who moved him, but he had to move out after only a few months.

To be honest, the employee dormitories provided by the company are in good condition, clean double rooms with private bathrooms, and the rent is only a symbolic fee.This kind of residence is really rare in City B where the rent is skyrocketing.

The only unsatisfactory thing is that I can always meet wonderful roommates.After all, supermarket employees are a mixed bag, and the turnover of personnel is high. There are many guys who resign after working for a few days.He has been doing purchases in this supermarket for three years. The roommate does not know how many batches have been changed, and he has encountered strange things.

There are roommates who don’t wash their stinky socks for a month and soak them in a basin to “pickle socks”, there are roommates who steal toilet paper and shampoo every day, and they don’t take advantage of it enough, and there are also roommates who take their girlfriends to the dormitory every three days and spend most of the night directly The roommate with circles in his ears.

Therefore, to meet such a good roommate as He Yue, he was so moved that he wished he could burn incense to the Bodhisattva.

In fact, the first time he saw He Yue, he was still a little worried.It looks like a white and tender delicate flower. He is obviously a boy, but he wishes he could be prettier than the female stars on TV. His delicate appearance made him wonder if this guy came to work in a supermarket.

Fortunately, He Yue is surprisingly easy to get along with, always with a gentle and kind smile, clean and tidy with no bad habits, and puts others before herself in everything.

He is in the procurement department, and when he gets busy, he doesn't get off work on time. He Yue buys meals for him every time, warms them up in the dormitory, and waits for him to come back to eat; sometimes he is lazy and doesn't like to wash clothes. He Yue At the beginning, he asked him politely, "Would you like me to wash for you?" Later, I helped him wash his clothes more often, and he simply took on all the heavy responsibilities of doing laundry and cleaning the room; some time ago, his old mother in the country came to see a doctor in City B Knowing that he couldn't afford the extra money to rent the house, He Yue offered to give up her own bed. His mother slept in He Yue's bed alone, and He Yue shared the same bed with him for a week.

He Yue's body smelled very fragrant, and he could always smell that faint fragrance when sleeping together, which made him a little embarrassed, afraid that He Yue would smell the sweat on his body, so he took a shower more frequently .

If He Yue has any shortcomings, it is that she is too easy to bully.The old employees in the supermarket often like to bully the newcomers. He Yue's legs are not very comfortable, and there seems to be something wrong with one eye. Sometimes his movements are slow, and the old employees who are mean will yell at him, but he just keeps his head down. Saying "I'm sorry", the old employee took the opportunity to assign him more and more arduous tasks, and he did it silently without complaint.

It's so easy to bully, the gentle little white rabbit who is willing to be bullied, if the bad-hearted wolf sees it, he will definitely not be able to help bullying him to death.

Fortunately, Dong Fei is not a big bad wolf, he just wants to protect his little white rabbit roommate.

It's a pity that it hasn't been long since He Yue is about to move out.It is said that in order to study for the exam with peace of mind, I moved to share with a friend. The work in the supermarket continued, but the staff dormitory was withdrawn.

Before leaving, both of them were a bit reluctant. After all, they had been roommates for several months, and they still had revolutionary feelings. He Yue packed up the things to be moved, and cleaned the room again before leaving.

"Dong Fei, there are still two bags of roll paper I bought earlier in the bathroom cabinet, don't buy more."

"Ah."

"Ah, by the way, there is a box of milk on the balcony, only a few boxes have been opened, don't forget to drink."

"Ah."

"There is a box of duck tongue in the refrigerator, you should eat it at night, or it will expire."

"Ah."

"It's been raining a lot recently. Remember to close the windows before you go to work, and don't forget to lock the door. I came back several times and found the door was unlocked."

"Um......"

"Eh? Dong Fei?" He Yue looked at him in surprise, "Why are you crying..."

Dong Fei was also a little embarrassed, men don't shed tears easily, not to mention that he is a rough old man over 1.8 meters, and the appearance of crying is really useless.It's just that he couldn't help being sad when he thought of how big City B was, how he was alone all this time, and how rare it was to meet such a good friend.

"I, I can't bear you...555..."

He Yue comforted him softly, "I will still go to work in the supermarket, I just live in another place, and we will meet again, hey, don't be sad..." He Yue has a soft heart, she doesn't want others to be sad, When someone else cried, he couldn't help turning his eyes red.

Dong Fei twitched and held He Yue's hand, "Remember to come back to see me, my mother said the day before yesterday that she would send you pickles and bacon from her hometown."

"Okay." He Yue also burst into tears.

The two were holding hands and saying goodbye sadly, when the door of the dormitory was knocked open with a "bang".

Before Dong Fei could react, a figure came over, and then the collar was grabbed on the back of the neck, and the collar was grabbed, and he staggered back several steps.

"Fuck, who are you?"

The person who broke into the hotel was a tall man with the brim of his baseball cap pulled down and a mask, revealing only a pair of cold black eyes.Dong Fei boasted that he was tall, but the man was actually taller than him, and his aura was like that of a supermodel on a catwalk.

The man gave him a cold look, then pointed at He Yue, "Is his hand something you can touch?"

Dong Fei was dumbfounded, "What? Is there something wrong with you?"

"Who do you say is wrong?"

"I'm talking about you!"

The man's face was livid, as if he was about to explode at any moment, he reached out and grabbed Dong Fei's neckline, and he raised his fist and was about to beat him down.

He Yue quickly grabbed the man's arm, "What are you doing! This is Dong Fei, my roommate..."

The man stopped when He Yue pulled him back, but he still looked very angry, and said in a rough voice, "He just held your hand..."

"You promised me, don't lose your temper, don't hit people."

"..."

"Apologize to Dong Fei."

Dong Fei was taken aback. It was the first time he saw the fluffy little white rabbit roommate being so strict, and he was still facing a tall and big violent man. He couldn't help sweating for his roommate, and said quickly, "Hey, You guys know each other, haha, forget it, it’s a misunderstanding, it’s all right, don’t be angry, don’t be angry..."

"..."

"......sorry."

"Eh???"

Dong Fei blinked in disbelief, the violent man who wanted to pounce on him and tear him apart just a second ago, actually obediently listened to He Yue's words and apologized to him, although his tone was stiff and his fists were clenched tightly , eyes fixed on him as if they were about to breathe fire.

"No, it's okay..." Dong Fei was a little confused about the situation.

At the stall where he was in a daze, the violent man had already walked out of the house with He Yue's luggage in one hand and He Yue's hand in the other.

He Yue bid him farewell gently, "Dong Fei, I'm leaving, take care of yourself."

When he came back to his senses, he went to the window and looked downstairs, only to see a stretched Bentley speeding away.

Dong Fei couldn't help feeling annoyed again. Will his good-tempered roommate be bullied by that guy?

But even though the man just now was fierce and vicious, when he held his roommate's hand, he was very gentle and cautious.

Maybe the little white rabbit is so weak and kind that the big bad wolf can't bear to bully him.

—— "Fanwai: Dong Fei's Troubles" END——

☆, extra episode 2: past events + girlfriend

"Fanwai: Past Events"

After the first snow in early winter, the weather is getting colder day by day.

The popularity of Gu Ran's resignation incident has also gradually subsided. After all, the most indispensable thing in the entertainment industry is stars. Although it is regrettable that Gu Ran suddenly retired at the peak of his acting career, he deliberately avoided all media, and lost With that kind of bombardment exposure, the public's attention to him has gradually become less eager.

However, there are still reporters who sneak into the community from time to time, squat under his house, and try to squeeze the last of his heat no matter what.In order to avoid being tracked by the media, Gu Ran moved out of the villa and moved into a high-end apartment near the company, connecting the two households to make a large flat.In fact, the area of ​​a single household is not small, but Gu Ran still thinks it is not big enough, so he must buy two sets to combine, the sofa should be big, the bathtub should be big, the living room should be wide enough to fit a big fireplace, and the bedroom should have a double bed Also special custom KINGSIZE.

Even though He Yue was on that overly spacious luxurious soft bed, she only needed a small corner to fall asleep.

The night was getting darker, and Gu Ran was still working overtime. He Yue got off work early and continued to review her homework until night. After washing up, she lay on the bed alone, but she didn't feel much sleepy, and could only count sheep in boredom.

If it was this usual time, Gu Ran would probably grab him and do it on the bed.

Although the two have lived together for some time, he is still a little unaccustomed to sex.Before he and Gu Ran were together, he was a blank slate, not to mention men, even naked women were only seen in small movies, not to mention that he was originally a person who was not very lustful, and he even masturbated. Experiences are few and far between.

However, Gu Ran's interest in sexual matters is very high, and he often becomes wild for no reason, hugging him regardless of time and place, in the kitchen, on the dining table, in the bathtub, or on the sofa in the living room.

Gu Ran is very skillful and patient. He knows how to make him feel weak and confused. He will kiss his lips, collarbone, chest, belly button, side waist, and even toes bit by bit, and slowly pick other things. Desire made his body respond irresistibly, and then slowly led him into that place, warm and tight.

If there are too many times like this, he will also feel that it is not appropriate. Every time, Gu Ran takes the initiative to bear his penis, which seems unfair, but looking at the size of the huge body on Gu Ran's lower body after the heightened desire, He only felt his scalp go numb, and his legs felt weak just thinking about it.

But no matter what, Gu Ran is also a normal man, so how can he be comfortable if he only uses the latter words?

So He Yue also hesitatingly mentioned "Should I replace you this time?" Gu Ran's reaction was both surprised and happy, and he almost immediately entered the state and prepared to counterattack.

But when the arrow was on the string, he still gave up and just kissed his ear, "Forget it, you can help me with your hands."

He Yue bit the bullet and continued to insist, "It's okay, I'm ready, you come."

He is really not very good at sex, if he uses the former, at least he is driven by male nature and instinct; but if he uses the latter, he really doesn't know how to operate it.

So although he intends to "dedicate himself", he can only lay down there for the sake of the knife and me, and let Gu Ran handle the follow-up matters.

Gu Ran patted his butt, and said with a smile, "Fool, you're not gay in the first place, it's already good to have feelings, and you don't have to force anything else."

After finishing speaking, she kissed him again and whispered in his ear, "I don't want to let you hurt."

The voice was low and hoarse, but the warmth in those words almost made He Yue's heart tighten.

In fact, whether he is gay or not, until now, even he himself is a bit confused.

Having had sex with the same sex, he has gradually accepted it both physically and psychologically. He thinks he should already be.

But when he saw those muscular men in his daily life, he was only at a loss in his heart, and he never had anything to imagine.Only when he was with Gu Ran, would he have the idea of ​​wanting to get closer to this person, and even closer, in that warm touch.

He Yue was lying on the bed thinking wildly, and gradually became sleepy. When she was drowsy, there was a rustling sound beside the bed, and then the mattress beside her sank. He Yue didn't open her eyes, she just said in a daze, "you are back."

Gu Ran let out a "hmm" and stretched out his arms to hug him.

"Why is it so late..."

"There's something to take care of."

Although Gu Ran inherited his father's business, some people in the company will not be convinced if the princelings are parachuted down to take important positions. Fortunately, Gu Ran has the ability and skills to make those who provoke him fearful and docile. .It's just that I need to work harder, and I don't dare to be sloppy at work. I have worked overtime and traveled a lot since I took office, and it is common to fly to three places in one day.

He Yue adjusted a more comfortable posture, and the cold air brought in by the man woke him up a bit, "Have you had dinner yet?"

Gu Ran kissed him, "No."

"Then let me make some for you. I just bought some vegetables in the afternoon, so I have to eat some for dinner..."

Gu Ran held him down and kissed him again, "It's enough to eat you."

"Gu Ran..." He Yue gasped.

The man seemed to be in good spirits, there was already a reaction there, and he started to unbutton his pajamas.

"Today is too late, just..."

Gu Ran immediately kissed him slightly rudely, blocked back the "don't do it" that he wanted to say later, and stretched his hand under his pajamas to rub it.

When her fingers touched her nipples, He Yue shuddered, and gasped uncontrollably under the caress.

Unknowing when the clothes were taken off, Gu Ran kissed him for a while, then turned his face closer to his lower body, and licked his inner thigh teasingly, he only felt numbness on his back, like an electric shock , breathing is not steady.

When Gu Ran was buried in licking him, the phone beside the bed suddenly rang.

"Gu, Gu Ran, my phone... ah..."

He Yue wanted to reach out to pick it up, and managed to grab the phone while being distracted, but the man didn't give him a chance to answer the phone, and his lips fell on the part between his legs again, kissing lightly and heavily, and then full of She hugged him erotically, but didn't rush to swallow, just licked the top back and forth, making him moan for a while.

The phone rang again for a while, and it seemed that He Yue accidentally pressed a button to switch to the hands-free message mode. After a beep, there was a slight silence, and then it was Pei You's voice.

"Yueyue, it's me."

He Yue was startled, and subconsciously stepped back, the back of her head hit the head of the bed with a "boom", causing him to gasp in pain.

"I'm back home."

"I had to wait until the end of the exchange semester next month before returning to China, but something happened."

The signal on Pei You's side seems to be not very good, separated by the distorted sound of electric current, the mood is somewhat uncertain and gloomy.

"My father, he passed away."

"It's a cerebral infarction. What happened last night, my mother didn't find out until the next morning. It's already gone after being sent to the hospital."

After a few seconds of silence, Pei You gritted his teeth: "Didn't you say that the scourge lasted for thousands of years? He did so many bad things, how the hell did he die so easily? You bastard."

There was another unknown noise, and then the voice said again, "He harmed people when he was alive, but it's easier to die than anyone else...I really hate it."

The voice on the phone gradually became a little blurred, "The body will be cremated tomorrow, and my mother and I will go there. If you find it inconvenient, please don't come."

Pei You hung up the phone, and the room returned to silence.The two people in the room still maintained the posture just now, but they have softened.

"Fanwai: Past Events"

"He Yue?" Gu Ran reached out and touched the boy's face.

The boy just sat stiffly on the bed, his face pale, and he didn't move for a long while.

Gu Ran could also recognize that it was Pei You's voice. He Yue mentioned before that she had been raised by her aunt and uncle, and she would feel sad when her relatives passed away, so he hesitated and said, "Don't be sad... .”

He stopped in the middle of the conversation, the boy's dull face didn't seem to have much sadness, but there was a faint trace of tiredness.

He Yue sat blankly for a while, then groped in the dark to put on her pajamas, and then lay down on her side.

He promised his aunt not to hate that person.

In fact, he has never hated it before. There are no such intense emotions in his body, and the various illnesses and even deaths of others will not bring him any happiness.

He just felt slightly bored.He can hardly recall the experience of being molested for a long time in his childhood, and only feels palpitations when he wakes up from the occasional nightmare.Now the man passed away suddenly, but his palpitations did not disappear.

He couldn't tell what it was like, he just felt that the night wind was very cold, and he was also drowsy.

Gu Ran hugged him silently, and he instinctively leaned closer to that chest, pressing against it tightly.As if a person in an extremely cold place yearns for a hot fire, only the warmth of the person beside him makes him feel at ease.

Father Pei left suddenly, there was no time for the funeral, it was just a simple farewell ceremony for the body.

He Yue originally wanted to go to the funeral home by himself, and he didn't want to bother others about family matters.But Gu Ran saw him in a trance, so he wanted to come with him no matter what.

It was snowing heavily outside, and it was extremely cold inside the funeral parlor.

The dead person was lying in the center of the hall, with a gloomy and gloomy coldness revealed through the glass cover. Around the body were a few scattered wreaths, which were hastily arranged.

There were only a few close relatives present to bid farewell. Father Pei had always been hostile to his relatives, and those who could come were all for Mother Pei's sake.

Pei You held a black and white photo of his father, and stood there with some expression on his face.

Mother Pei was crying so hard that He Yue helped her to sit down.His throat was astringent, and he took a breath before saying, "Auntie, I'm sorry."

Mother Pei cried bitterly, "How can this person be gone? A few days ago, he was fine, and he went to gamble without shame. I said a few words to him, and he knew how to scold me back. Why did he just leave like that? Woolen cloth......"

"aunt......"

"I didn't enjoy a single day of happiness while I was alive, and I didn't give me a good face before I left. Pei Jianguo, who suffered a thousand knives..."

He Yue squatted down, took Pei's mother's hand, and said in a shy voice, "Auntie, your body is important, you still have Xiaoyou, and my uncle doesn't want to see you like this in the sky."
