hunting song

Chu residence, study room.

The dusk of the evening enveloped the elegant study room, with an inexplicable solemnity...

Ye Huaiyang took a deep breath and knocked on the door.

"Huaiyang, come in."

Ye Huaiyang walked into the study, looked at the middle-aged man at the desk who was flipping through books leisurely: "Dad."

"You know everything about your mother?" Chu Lu looked up at Ye Huaiyang with calm eyes.

"I..." Ye Huaiyang pursed his lips, suddenly not knowing how to reply.

Chu Lu sighed softly: "After the fire in the orphanage that day, your mother became a vegetable and I don't know if she can wake up. I was afraid that this matter would affect your growth, so I decided to hide it from you. Now that you I have already been to the hospital, and I should know that your mother's condition is not very good."

"I want to wait for her to wake up." Ye Huaiyang said seriously.

"Huaiyang, she might not wake up for the rest of her life...or she might die at any time." Chu Lu said regretfully.

"There is always hope." Ye Huaiyang lowered his eyes and clenched his fists tightly.

"Since it's your decision, I naturally support it." Chu Lu nodded.

"Thank you..." Ye Huaiyang raised his head with joy beyond words.

"Thank you." Chu Lu walked to the side and picked up an exquisite jewelry box and handed it to Ye Huaiyang, "This is the necklace your mother wore back then, put it away."

Ye Huaiyang took it in a daze. Inside the jewelry box was a pigeon blood ruby ​​pendant. The crimson gem seemed like a jumping flame into his eyes.

"And..." Chu Lu hesitated to speak.

"Ok?"

Chu Lu breathed a sigh of relief and shook his head: "It's nothing, by the way, you didn't go home last night, where do you live?"

"I went to stay at a classmate's house for one night." Ye Huaiyang looked away unnaturally, and closed the jewelry box.

"It can't be like this in the future. How can someone so big run away from home and turn off his mobile phone." Chu Lu's tone became more serious.

"Yeah." Ye Huaiyang nodded awkwardly.

"Don't think so much." Chu Lu patted Ye Huaiyang's shoulder reassuringly, "A few days ago, I talked to your cousin about you and Xiao Piao going abroad to study, and you have to prepare yourself."

Ye Huaiyang looked at Chu Lu in surprise.

Chu Lu smiled and said, "Don't you like oil painting? Your cousin introduced a teacher to you when he talked about England."

"I..." Ye Huaiyang felt stuck in his throat.

"It's time to eat, let's go." Chu Lu looked at his watch.

"Yeah." Ye Huaiyang swallowed the words with a wry smile, and followed Chu Lu out of the study.

Every ordinary day is like quicksand, passing so silently, when the last snow in the cold winter ends after the midnight bell, and the first ray of warm sun in the early spring sprinkles on the smoky and cold Pujiang River...

The darkness in this world is far more than that.

April 2013

Everyday campus life that goes back and forth, the pattering rain, I miss you in my heart.

The spring of Shangfu is always cycled back and forth between sunny and rainy, which is a nightmare for Lian Heng, because he can't figure out why it was raining continuously inexplicably today when it was sunny yesterday, so he can only squat down pitifully Poking the phone in a small gazebo.

The spring rain was pattering, not like the torrential rain in the south, but it was not light. All the students on the road rushed to class with umbrellas, and only Ye Huaiyang walked back against the crowd.

"Eh? Ye Huaiyang, class is about to start, why are you walking back?" A student passing by Ye Huaiyang asked strangely.

"Give an umbrella to a friend." Ye Huaiyang smiled.

"What kind of friend can make Xueba willing to be late." The student laughed jokingly

"The ones in the dormitory next door, I'll go first." Ye Huaiyang nodded and trot away in a hurry.

The bell for class echoed in the rainy campus, Ye Huaiyang walked into the small gazebo, and looked at Lian Heng who was still in the mood to play with his mobile phone, speechless.

"Let's go." Ye Huaiyang handed the umbrella to Lian Heng.

"Baby, you've worked hard~ I love you." Lian Heng hugged Ye Huaiyang dotingly, and unexpectedly gave him a loving and lingering French kiss.

Ye Huaiyang only felt a little embarrassed but also reluctant to refuse, kissing awkwardly, his eyes still paying attention to whether there was anyone around.

"Don't worry, no one's there." Lian Heng winked and smiled, and thoughtfully wiped the corner of the other party's mouth.

"Are you going back to the dormitory or where?" Ye Huaiyang sighed.

Lian Heng swung his schoolbag over his shoulder, tilted his head and said coolly: "Of course I'm going back to the dormitory to sleep. Rainy days and sleeping are standard."

"Well, I still have to go to class." Ye Huaiyang raised his hand and touched Lian Heng's head and told him gently, "Go back to the dormitory obediently, and I will go back to accompany you after class."

"Are you going to class?" Lian Heng asked in surprise.

"Well, what's the matter?" Ye Huaiyang looked at Lian Heng in confusion.

"I would have asked someone else to bring me an umbrella if I knew it earlier, so that you would be late." Lian Heng slapped his head and said guiltily.

"It's nothing, I'm just late." Ye Huaiyang shook his head helplessly, "Whoever told you not to bring an umbrella, told you to put the umbrella in your schoolbag."

"I was wrong." Lian Heng nodded obediently and admitted his mistake.

"I will go to class."

"Why don't I accompany you to class." Lian Heng had a whim, and before Ye Huaiyang refused, he happily walked into the rain with an umbrella, "Busy Kang, let's go, we're late for a while."

"Whatever you want." Ye Huaiyang wisely gave up persuasion.

Lian Heng smiled tenderly. He stood in the rain with an umbrella, and stretched out his hand to Ye Huaiyang: "Come here, let's hold an umbrella."

"No, there are two umbrellas..."

"Come here." Lian Heng smiled, and directly dragged Ye Huaiyang under the umbrella.

"There are many people on the road." Ye Huaiyang shook his head and wanted to push away.

"It's normal for two men to hold an umbrella." Lian Heng shrugged, held the umbrella in one hand and put his arm around Ye Huaiyang's waist in the other, and led him to the teaching building.

Ye Huaiyang was forced to lean into Lian Heng's arms, and he whispered speechlessly: "Then don't hug your waist either!"

"Understood, senior." Lian Heng nodded with a suppressed smile, and moved his hand to Ye Huaiyang's shoulder, "It's okay to hug the shoulder."

"I really convinced you." Ye Huaiyang looked around nervously.

"By the way, we are planning to go on a spring outing, do you want to go together?" Lian Heng remembered the business.

"Where are you going to play this time?" Ye Huaiyang looked at Lian Heng defensively.

"It hasn't been decided yet, the amusement park, the zoo, the wetland park, the forest park, or the nearby tourist attractions, Barabala..." Lian Heng looked forward to it.

"Up to you." Ye Huaiyang glanced at Lian Heng.

"OK~" Lian Heng nodded happily, "Also, a new bar has opened on the outer island. Tonight, my cousin and I plan to explore the road, let's go together."

"No." Ye Huaiyang didn't think twice.

"If you don't go, what will happen if I get hooked up?" Lian Heng asked with a serious face.

The corner of Ye Huaiyang's mouth twitched, and he replied perfunctorily: "Just be happy."

"Stubborn, I know you are reluctant~" Lian Heng looked at Ye Huaiyang with a smile.

"I'm so confident." Ye Huaiyang also laughed out loud.

"Be good, come with me." Lian Heng blinked suavely and seduced.

"Got it..." Ye Huaiyang turned his head away in embarrassment.

"Huaiyang, do you love me to death?" Lian Heng hummed in a narcissistic manner.

Ye Huaiyang glanced at Lian Heng speechlessly, and wisely chose to remain silent, no matter how aggressive the boy with secondary school problems was, he remained graceful and calm.

"By the way, how is your mother's condition?" Lian Heng returned to seriousness.

Ye Huaiyang paused, and said calmly, "It's pretty stable."

As soon as the voice fell, the phone vibrated, with an inexplicable abruptness, breaking the patter of the rain.

Ye Huaiyang glanced at the caller ID and answered, "Dad, what's the matter?"

The sound of the rain was getting louder, almost drowning out the bad news coming from the phone.

"Huaiyang...your mother has gone..."

In spring, everything grows.

cemetery.

This rain lasted for a week at a time, and thousands of disturbing raindrops hung down, splashing on the ground and blooming dark flowers, sandwiching the coldness that penetrated into the bones, but people's hearts were already numb.

The coldness reveals strands of desolate sadness like this drizzle, which is endless.

Ye Huaiyang approached the tombstone without saying a word, caressing the wet and cold tombstone, staring at the almost unfamiliar but familiar black-and-white photo with his eyes, the uncontrollable sadness turned into a few drops of clear eyes. Tears silently dripped and splashed ripples on the tombstone.

Chu Lu held an umbrella for Ye Huaiyang, and the rain hit the umbrella surface, splashing and rippling. He sighed helplessly: "Huaiyang, I think we should give up."

"Actually, your mother hid a very important piece of evidence in the orphanage back then. The fire that year burned the orphanage into ruins, and your mother became a vegetable. I thought that when your mother woke up, I would be able to understand the content of the evidence. , but now everything is over with your mother's departure." Chu Lu shook his head regretfully.

"So, today, 20 years later, nothing has changed, my father still died for nothing." Ye Huaiyang smiled wryly, "And those who should have died will still live well!!"

Chu Lu was speechless, and looked at this frail young man silently. This world was originally so dark that there was no way to change it with his frail strength.

"I should have known earlier that this world is inherently unfair." Ye Huaiyang sneered a few times and wiped away the tears on his cheeks vigorously.

Chu Lu frowned, raised his hand and pressed Ye Huaiyang's shoulder: "Huaiyang, your parents hope that you can live in peace."

"Don't worry, I won't seek death." Ye Huaiyang turned to look at Chu Lu with an indifferent and calm expression, "Go back first, I want to stay here with her for a while longer."

"Okay, I'll ask Uncle Sun to come back to pick you up later." Chu Lu nodded, handed the umbrella to Ye Huaiyang, and said, "No matter what, don't do stupid things."

Ye Huaiyang nodded slightly, turned around and looked at the tombstone, motionless.

I don't know how long it took, until the rain stopped, and for so long that his legs became numb and lost consciousness, Ye Huaiyang shifted his dull gaze to the big tree on the right side of the tombstone - he knew that Lian Heng had been behind that tree all along stay with yourself.

Lian Heng walked to Ye Huaiyang silently, he didn't say a word, just stood beside Ye Huaiyang quietly, gently holding the other's cold and stiff hand, using his own temperature to dispel the cold breath.

As if there is only you and me left in the world.

Walking forward in this dark place, you are like a bright light and a light source to me.
