those people and those things

As soon as the year is over, it will be early spring in a blink of an eye, and Aphrodite will be 19 years old.In the past, when he was in school, Abu would go out with his classmates every time it was his birthday. Now that everyone has graduated and went their separate ways, no one has the desire to have fun under the pressure of life.Abu was not in the mood to celebrate, so he forgot the date of birthday. He didn't realize what day it was until he checked his phone when he got off work and found a text message from Diss asking him if he wanted cake.

When he got home, Diss had already set the table.Abu said he didn't need cakes, so Diss didn't buy any. Instead, he ordered a pot of Changshou noodles and brought them out piping hot.During the dinner, Abu asked how do you know my birthday. Diss blew the noodles and said that you showed me your ID card when you first came to see the house. Hearing this, Abu was moved again.After the meal, the two ran to Diss' bedroom and sat by the bed watching TV, holding wine cups, ready to have another drink.Watching TV and drinking, soon a bottle of white wine will run out.Diss usually doesn't drink much, but this time he drank half a bottle, and with the fact that it is easy to get on his face*, now his neck and scalp are all red, and he talks a lot.Just when I switched to the opera channel, Hua Dan was babbling and singing on the TV, and Diss suddenly covered his forehead and laughed.

Abu was listening to the clapping of hands in the play, and blurted out asking why are you laughing.Diess said: Do you know the drama school in the east?

Hearing this sentence, Abu's heart skipped a beat, and he said calmly, what happened to the drama school?

"When I was in junior high school, I was a gangster." Diss said slowly, "My parents didn't know where to go and no one cared, stealing money, beating people, skipping classes, etc. were commonplace. There were many younger brothers, Everyone’s family background is not good, no one cares about their grades, and they don’t know what to do every day (two beeps, pointing to nonsense), and one day guess what will happen?” He paused, saw Abu shaking his head, and continued.

"It's also puberty, and our brains are hot. A group of us went to the East Opera School, trying to get a girl to be my girlfriend." He lowered his head, showing a trance smile: "At that time, a girl came out of the school gate. I came out, I grew up, it was the first time I saw such a good-looking girl. My younger brothers urged me to talk to her, but I could only stand on the ground*, unable to say a word. Hey, that girl is generous , and made an appointment to meet at eight o'clock in the evening...you can't guess what happened after that."

Of course I can guess.Aphrodite thought, but he didn't say anything, he just signaled Diss with his eyes to continue talking.

"That girl is actually a boy!" Diss showed the same surprised expression as before: "I was scared to death at that time, he tore the T-shirt on the floor, and then beat me to death." He looked at Aphrodite said, "Until now, when I see a beautiful boy singing an opera, I think it is the boy from back then. If I can meet him again..."

"Is there revenge for revenge, beat him to death?" Abu asked while holding a wine cup.

"No, thank you for hitting me. It's a good fight. It should have been done a long time ago." Diess swung the wine cup onto the coffee table and made a loud click.

Aphrodite looked at him suspiciously, and Diss rubbed his eyes.

"I went home that night and found my grandma lying on the ground with a sudden cerebral hemorrhage, and she couldn't be saved when she was sent to the hospital."

Diss held his head in his hands, and his eyes gradually filled with tears: "I was still thinking about picking up girls, I didn't know that my grandma was sick and still holding on... Well played, well played, why didn't I Beat me to death...I'm a bastard, a beast, why don't you kill me..."

When it comes to the end, I already have a crying voice.

At this point, Aphrodite finally understands why the situation has been calm after beating Diss.Diss, who lost his only family member, did not know what kind of hardships he had endured to live a stable life like today.Calculating the time carefully, when Abu Shang was enjoying his youth at school, Diss had already been forced to face the tribulations of society alone.Abu understands the pain of helplessness better than anyone else, and because he understands it, he is more aware of Diss' difficulty: when he was sick, Diss took care of him, but when Diss was sick and tired, did anyone care for him?

Abu didn't ask, he thought of a sentence: all kinds of things in the past, such as dying yesterday.The gangster and the boy who was treated as a girl are already an irreversible past; the current Deathmask and Aphrodite still have a long way to go.Who to blame, who to hate, has long been unimportant.Compared with the difficulties in the past, isn't it a greater miracle that we can meet again and support each other by chance?

He embraced Diss' trembling shoulders, and his eyes became hot, as if the wailing was transmitted along with the physical contact.Love this kind of feeling is hard to explain, but this feeling is like a disease, and there are traces to follow.Suffering from his pain is probably a symptom.

After a long while, Diss finally calmed down and woke up a lot from the wine. Now he looked at the floor a little shyly: "I'm so sorry just now, drink some wine, remember the past, let you see a joke." Abu Shaking his head, he said with a sigh of relief, I would also like to talk about my past, and then I will tell the story from my childhood to my college drama.Diss listened, but didn't connect Abu with the people back then.Until Abu narrated the part of being mistaken for a girl and beating Diss from his own perspective, the two sides matched each other, causing Diss to stand up from the bed in shock.

"I'm sorry about your grandma." Aphrodite lowered his head under Diss' sight and clenched his hands. "If I didn't agree at the beginning, you would have found out in time..."

"No, it's not your fault, you don't know at all." Diss raised his head and wiped his face, "Really... the world is really small." Abu raised his head, his eyes collided with Diss, and Diss suddenly Don't look away, and said awkwardly: "You, you have grown up so much..." After finishing speaking, I felt wrong, "I mean, now I guess no one will mistake you...En."

The scene turned cold all of a sudden, and Diss couldn't stand or sit down, scratching his head anxiously.Abu suddenly held Diss's hand and looked into the other's eyes seriously: "You can call back."

"What... ah, how can this work, you are right..." Diss said in a panic, but Abu clenched his hand tightly without giving in, "You can call back."

"You...well, okay." After getting along for a long time, Diss already understood Abu's unwillingness to owe favors. He raised his right hand, and Abu closed his eyes tightly.

As a result, Diss' right hand just lightly landed on the top of Abu's head, and patted: "You don't owe me anything."

*Upper face: Refers to the flushed face after drinking.

*Dangjian: Four tones of "jian", referring to the middle.
