One by one

Luo Lian didn't come out of the hotel until around ten o'clock in the evening.

He quietly smoked a cigarette in the cold air, and the person next to him handed him his mobile phone, saying that there were a few missed calls, and Luo Lian turned on the phone.

Yu Yi sent him three messages in total, and two missed calls.

Luo Lian threw away the cigarette butt and called back.

He stood quietly in the night, his profile was shimmering, with the texture of a carved stone statue, cold and distant.But when he silently listened to the electronic tone on the other end of the phone and waited, his eyes inadvertently leaked a trace of tenderness.

Yu Yi didn't answer the phone.

Luo Lian replied to his message, hesitated for a moment, and put the phone back.

The people next to him had been waiting beside him for a long time, and when they saw Luo Lian's movement, they respectfully opened the car door.Luo Lian bowed and got into the back seat, someone closed the door for him, and then the car started slowly.

The street lights along the way quickly moved back, casting light and shadow on his face one after another.

The driver peeked at the face of the young master of the Luo family from the rearview mirror, and sighed in his heart, Luo Lian's temperament was completely different from the two above their heads.He was sitting in the car, and he didn't have the posture that his master should have at all.He seems indifferent and distant, but in fact he has the aura that a wealthy family should not have.

Yes, pyrotechnics.This is different from the kind of rich and noble families who have had accidents long ago, smoothed their edges and corners, and are good at dancing.They keep talking about the stock market and business, and they use the field of money to isolate others.

Luo Lian's isolation is the precipitation of inner peace. He is happy with things and sad with himself, peaceful and quiet, but has edges and corners.

When the pointer reached eleven o'clock in 10 minutes, Luo Lian returned home.

There was no light in the room, it was pitch black.Yu Yi's guitar lay on the sofa, and there were a few CDs beside it.

On the tea table, Luo Lian also left the takeaway food he ordered, which was also covered with plastic wrap.There was also a small piece of paper posted on the table, which read: Momoda.

Luo Lian gently picked up the note and smiled.

He searched for the room, and finally found Yu Yi in his own new room.Yu Yi was lying on the computer, as if he had fallen asleep, the quilt was half covered, and the other half was pinched under him.The warm yellow desk lamp by the bed was on, and there was a cup of grapefruit tea that hadn't cooled down.

Even Luo Lian didn't know when there was grapefruit tea in the studio-like apartment.

He went up to touch Yu Yi's hair, then covered him with the quilt again, and went out with the door closed.

Luo Lian didn't go to sleep, he quietly smoked another cigarette on the balcony, thinking about many things from his childhood.

Before he knew it, Luo Lian came to the room where the film was stored.His slender fingers slid across the ridges of the collection folders lined up, and finally stopped at the very front, a collection book that had already fallen into dust.

He took out the collection book, on which it seemed to say, [-]-[-], home.

Opening the favorites folder, there are clear negatives one by one, some with purple black and white glue, and some with ocher color glue.Each transparent interlayer contains a roll of film, 36 sheets.After one book, there are about a hundred pages, and there are actually a hundred rolls of negatives.

Luo Lian took out one of the negatives and looked at the weak light.The people in the film are younger than they are now, their smiles freeze, and they are still so clear and clear.Luo Lian seemed to be able to hear the crisp sound the moment he pressed the shutter.

Yu Yi woke up around five o'clock in the morning.

In a daze, he finally realized that he had fallen asleep before he knew it.The computer is out of power, and the mobile phone that is placed aside is only a few percent left.

Yu Yi charged the phone, and found that Luo Lian had replied to his message after finishing the work, and there were still missed calls on the phone.

Remembering that Luo Lian hadn't come back yesterday, he was still a little worried about the negative impact of today's news on Luo Lian, so he immediately wanted to find Luo Lian.

At five o'clock in the sky, there was no sign of the horizon lighting up, and the street lights were still on. The air was foggy, like a layer of invisible sand.And through the pitch-black night, the cries of street vendors downstairs could already be vaguely heard.

Yu Yi suddenly felt an infinite sense of security in this warm room.

In the end, he still didn't knock on Luo Lian's door, the whole room was silent, presumably Luo Lian hadn't woken up yet.

Because he really couldn't sleep, and he happened to be a little hungry, Yu Yi changed his clothes and went downstairs to buy breakfast.After finishing all this, he smoked a cigarette by the side of the road. Seeing that the sky was still a little dark but it was already starting to brighten, he went up and changed another set of clothes, and started his morning run for the day.

How long has it been since he ran in the morning?

What I remember the most is always the time on the playground when I was a child.The students shouted slogans loudly in the early morning mist, and there were also youthful laughter and cursing.Since graduating from university, Yu Yi has often stayed up all night for work and creation, and his work and rest are extremely irregular, let alone morning jogs.

But at this moment, he actually felt the long-lost breath.It was the breath only in the early morning, when everything wakes up, and the air is still in a quiet atmosphere.

After spending nearly an hour outside, Yu Yi bought breakfast for Luo Lian and decided to surprise him today - he would occasionally get angry earlier than him.

He walked back along the path he came from, and when he passed a small forest, he heard a rustling movement on one side, and immediately tensed his nerves.

Ever since what happened with Li Shengjun, Yu Yi has always paid more attention to this aspect.Even if a person usually goes out, he will be careful.He was not born to be bold, so everything can only be prevented by being cautious.

Sure enough, after a while, the shadow of the tree shook again, and the movement inside was even bigger.Yu Yi pushed away a few steps with his breakfast in his hand, staring at the depths of the grove, at this moment, he suddenly heard a very faint meow.

owl?

After observing for a while, Yu Yi walked in some more.It seemed that his steps had disturbed the cat hiding behind the leaves, and the tree shadows shook still more.

In this way, one person and one cat, one in the light and the other in the dark, confronted each other for a moment.

In the end, Yu Yi let down his vigilance, because, in the darkness, he did see the silhouette of the cat vaguely.

To be precise, it was those cat eyes that were shining brightly.

Taking a closer look, he found that it was a raccoon cat, which looked very small and thin.It is estimated that it will be about a month old at most, with dirty and messy fur and a messy look.

The other party seemed to be very afraid of Yu Yi's actions, obviously very frightened, but what was strange was that even though he made a defensive gesture, he had no intention of running away.

Yu Yi couldn't help getting closer.

Turning on the light of the mobile phone, he finally saw clearly that it was a severely injured raccoon cat.It did look like it was only a little over a month old, but the entire hind leg was covered in blood.At first glance, it is shocking.

Yu Yi felt as if his heart had been stabbed at that moment. He tried carefully and took a while to let the cat feel that he was not malicious. Hugged out of the grass.Maybe it was related to the wound, or maybe it was because of fear. After the kitten was taken out, it kept meowing non-stop.Only then did Yu Yi realize that the wound on the cat seemed to be more serious than he had imagined.

He calmed down the kitten temporarily, stroked its dirty nape, and then quickly checked the nearby pet hospital with his mobile phone.

But unfortunately, the pet hospitals around here almost didn't open until eight o'clock. It was too early at this time, halfway through the day, and there was no place to open the door at all.

He vaguely remembered that there was a first aid kit in Luo Lian's house. Anyway, Yu Yi planned to take the kitten home first, treat the wound and then give it something to eat.

After returning, Yu Yi didn't bother to take a shower first, put the breakfast bought for Luo Lian on the tea table, and went to the bathroom with the cat in his arms.

The kitten was still a little timid. Although it struggled very little, it was obvious that it kept trying to break free.Because of the serious wound and the fear, Yu Yi's heart would be broken when he heard it all the way.Almost at a loss, he coaxed the kitten to the bathroom, put it in the sink, and hurried to his bedroom to find the first-aid kit.

After returning, the kitten was lying obediently in the pool and calling, looking at Yu Yi with big watery eyes, trembling slightly.

Yu Yi brushed away its hair and found that its hind leg was bitten by some animal, maybe a dog or something.But because it was a wild cat and it was small, no one treated it, and soon the wound became inflamed and pus-filled.Yu Yi simply treated it with iodine and water, and then lost the blood-stained hair around the wound.

After all this was done, the kitten still seemed to be in pain, Yu Yi had no choice but to run along its fur.Unable to bathe him, I warmed up the cat food and milk I bought downstairs, picked up a small bowl, and put it in front of the kitten.

At first the kitten sniffed cautiously, then looked at Yu Yi and howled.After a while, I put it in a bowl and ate it.

As soon as Yu saw that it was fine, he quickly took a shower and changed into pajamas.

Seeing that the time was almost up, he reheated Luo Lian's breakfast.

After Luo Lian came out of the room, he heard a cat meowing.

Following the sound, I found Yu Yi sitting in the room with the kitten on his lap, stroking him little by little.

"Morning." Yu generously showed the cat in his arms to Luo Lian, "The one I picked up downstairs seems to have been seriously injured. I'll take him to the pet hospital later... Ah, yes , I bought you breakfast, it’s still hot on the table, you go and eat it first.”

Luo Lian nodded, turned his eyes around the cat and then looked back: "Last night..."

"Have you gone to meet with your family? I know, it's a private matter." Yu Yi pretended not to care, "I'm just a little worried. The news yesterday..."

"Sorry." Luo Lian pursed his lips, "News?"

"Ah, forget it if you didn't see it." Yu Yi waved his hand, "Hurry up and have breakfast. Look at your outfit, are you going out again today?"

"I'd better go to my father's place." Luo Lian supported the door frame and thought for a while, then rubbed his temples, "Are you talking about entertainment news?"

Yu Yi lowered his head and stroked the cat, thinking, I really saw it...

"My dad saw it."

Oh, it's not him, it's his dad—wait, what?

Yu Yi's eyes widened: "He, he still saw it?"

"You guessed it?" Luo Lian raised his eyebrows.

"This is the situation I'm most worried about." Yu Yi pinched the bridge of his nose, very distressed.

If Luo Lian's father really asked about this matter, even Yu Yi didn't know what kind of answer he was expecting.Generally speaking, most people will refuse to admit it. Anyway, it is entertainment lace news, and the truth is always on the side of the media.

The problem is, according to Luo Lian's personality...

"Oh, the truth." Luo Lian said.

"So that's what you told your dad yesterday, right?" Yu Yi frowned even tighter, as if he could kill mosquitoes, "You just came out of the closet so suddenly?"

"Probably." Luo Lian went to Yu Yi and sat down, "Actually, since he was young, no matter what I do, he won't make a fuss."

It sounds really lonely in the tone.

Yu Yi couldn't help relaxing his body, and even leaned slightly towards Luo Lian's angle, leaning against him unconsciously: "How was the meeting yesterday? I think his coming to see you may be a good start."

This time Luo Lian was silent for a long time: "He came to see me because I wanted me to go back."

"Go back?" Yu Yi widened his eyes.

"Well, you should know that I'm not a local. I go back home for a month every year, but I still live here most of the time."

"Half run away from home?"

"That's right."

"It seems that your father didn't agree at first."

"Never agreed."

Yu Yi still wanted to speak, but Luo Lian had already stood up: "Have you eaten?"

"I ate it when I was downstairs."

Luo Lian nodded: "I have to go out later, and I may not come back for breakfast at night."

"I know, I'm going out later."

After Luo Lian left, Yu Yi sat there for a while, only to realize that the cat in his arms had stopped meowing at some point.Looking down, it turned out that he had fallen asleep quietly.Its young body fell up and down, as if hoping for someone to protect it.
