embrace the moon

The summer sky lit up early, and the soft golden light spread from the horizon to the top of the head, dyeing the sky outside the roof bright and bright.There was already noise outside the door, the creaking courtyard door was opened and closed and opened again, and sunlight came in through the gaps in the curtains.

A loud noise came from outside the wooden window, startling the person who was still paralyzed on the bed. Mr. Gu stood outside the window, knocking on the wooden frame with his crutches: "Xiaobao, don't get up yet!"

Gu Yu grabbed the phone and took a look, it was only a quarter past seven.He sighed, turned over, and pulled the quilt up to cover his head.

Gu Lao didn't hear any response from the room, so he stared and shouted, "Elder Sister, go arrest someone!"

"Ah—" Gu Yu wanted to cry without tears, "Don't bother me."

Sure enough, the door of the room was pushed open very quickly. It was a miscalculation. He knew that the apprentice would report for duty this morning, but he forgot to lock the door last night.

Yi Xianghan strode in, went straight to the bed, grabbed the quilt and threw it off suddenly, Gu Yu immediately covered his eyes with his hand.

"Go away." Gu Yusheng said helplessly.

"Why didn't I see you after two months, and the senior sister didn't know how to call?" Yi Xianghan grabbed Gu Yu's face, "If you don't care about it, the master will rush here with a knife, gun and stick."

Gu Yu moved his hands away and slumped on the bed, opened his eyes and looked at her for several seconds, finally lost the battle, wailing and scratching his hair: "Got it, get out."

"I don't," Yi Xianghan stood by the bed and looked at him with his hands folded. "I'll only complete the task if you walk out of the room with your senile body like a walking dead."

Gu Yu sat up, nodded, and immediately grabbed the waist of his trousers: "Okay, then I will take off my trousers first."

"You rascal!" Yi Xianghan yelled and quickly slipped out, slamming the door hard.

Gu Yu laughed, jumped out of bed and took out a white T-shirt and shorts from the closet to change into.After washing in a daze, he walked into the main hall of the courtyard.

Seven or eight young people had already gathered in the main hall, and Mr. Gu handed him the roster: "Xiaobao, come and take the roll call."

"Don't call me Xiaobao in front of outsiders." Gu Yu took the roster and sat on the chair, crossed his legs casually, and sized up the people in front of him. Face, what is there to point to?"

Seeing this, Gu Lao mercilessly swung his cane on his back: "Stand up and roll the roll!"

Gu Yu's back hurt, and he was forced to stand up. He took the roster and began to read without emotion: "Yi Xianghan."

The elder sister called out: "Here!"

"Cold and quiet."

"arrive."

"Chuyang is cute."

"Here it is."

"Zhao Mishan."

"arrive!!"

Gu Yu clicked his tongue: "Be quieter."

"Wen Zhu."

"arrive."

"Wang Yuanqi."

"arrive."

"Xu Shuilan... are you new here?" Gu Yu raised his head and looked at the strange face on the far right.

"Yes," replied a well-proportioned boy, "I just entered school this year."

Gu Yu looked at him: "Then introduce yourself."

Everyone looked at him, Xu Shuilan felt a little shy all of a sudden: "Hi everyone, I'm Xu Shuilan, I'm about to be a freshman, and I'm studying design."

"Which school do you go to?" Mr. Gu asked.

"Big C." Xu Shuilan said.

The elder sister looked at Gu Yu: "Hey, your junior."

Gu Yu smiled: "Brother Gu will protect you from now on."

He reopened the roster and looked at the last name, which was written so scribbled that he didn't recognize it for a while.Gu Yu stared at those two words for a long time, and finally managed to pop out a few words from between his teeth: "... Gou... Squeeze... Are you here?"

He raised his head, except for Xu Shuilan, who was an old apprentice before, there was no "crowding" at all, he must be late.He threw the roster on the table: "Go and pack your painting tools. Xiao Chuyang, take Xu Shuilan to get things."

Chu Yang nodded, and led Xu Shuilan into the studio, and everyone else went to the studio lounge to tidy up one after another.Gu Yu breathed a sigh of relief, stood up and walked to his bedroom.

"Stop!" Mr. Gu shouted, "Go for a walk with the dog!"

Gu Yu only felt that life was difficult, pointing to the Labrador and a little golden retriever running around in the yard by the door, and said seriously: "Gu Meiniang has grown up, there is no need for me to take her out every day."

"She's a girl, Yumu head!" Mr. Gu said angrily, "Take Meiniang and Laifu out!"

Gu Yu was exhausted physically and mentally, so he had no choice but to lead the two dogs out.The neighborhood they lived in was quaint, and there were plaques hanging at the gates of every courtyard. He walked out the door, turned right and passed the "Sutan" courtyard next door.This family also opened the door, and a handsome young man with blond hair and blue eyes came out, also leading two dogs, one big and one small.

At the beginning of the year, the two big dogs, golden retriever male Xiao Baijin and Labrador bitch Gu Meiniang gave birth to four puppies, the Gu family kept one, the Lu family kept one, and the other two were given to Lu Xun good friend.

Lu Xun was taken aback when he saw Gu Yu: "It's strange, you actually got up early to walk the dog."

"My fairy grandpa drove the ducks to the shelves," Gu Yu sighed, squatted down and looked at his two dogs and patiently explained the truth, "Gu Meiniang, you go to find your husband Xiao Baijin; Gu Laifu, you go to Your younger brother, the moose; and your elder brother, me, how about going to find my quilt and bed, and we will be happy without delaying each other?"

I don't know if the two dogs understood, but anyway, they all rushed towards Lu Xun by coincidence. Gu Yu nodded very satisfied, and looked down at his watch: "Brother Lu, don't come back before 08:30."

Lu Xun gave him a fierce look: "Shame on you!"

Gu Yu smiled: "Thank you Dade."

Meiniang and Laifu didn't go home all morning, until the apprentices in the yard broke up and went home.The mysterious "Gou squeeze" classmate did not show up for the whole morning, nor did he until the apprentices in the yard broke up and went home.

After lunch, it rained happily, pouring down the sky completely.Only when the rain stopped did Jian Qiao gallop into the community on his bicycle. His clothes were still wet. The wheels rolled over the wet ground, rushed through puddles, and splashed water.

Jianqiao rode his bicycle towards the "Painting Boat Hall", and when he was about to arrive, he passed a house with the sign "Sutan" written on it.Two dogs, one big and one small, ran out one after the other from the gate of Sutan courtyard, and they galloped towards his wheel cutely and cheerfully, Jian Qiao almost ran over them.

He pressed the brake forcefully, the road was slippery and the brakes were not enough, he immediately turned a corner, the bicycle suddenly fell down, and he and the bicycle rushed to the ground with a "bang".

"...Your uncle." Jian Qiao quickly recovered from the pain in his arms, legs, front, chest, back, stood up on his own, shook the mud spots on his body, and helped the car to the painting boat hall Walk, a full 132 steps, the process can be described as touching and difficult.The two dogs stopped when they heard the sound, turned around and looked at him with their heads tilted, as if they didn't realize that they had caused trouble and harmed others.

Jian Qiao frowned: "Go away."

Although no one saw him on the road, he also felt embarrassed to be surrounded by two dogs.He threw his bicycle at the door and reached out to push the door open.The two dogs ran up to him with their buttocks twisted and their tails wagging, and looked up at him, probably saying, "What a coincidence, we're here to play too."

The summer air after the rain is always stuffy and humid, and the water drops hanging from the eaves have not fallen for a long time. Gu Yu took out a large bottle of Coke and a popsicle from the refrigerator, and sat on the futon with bare feet cross-legged, gnawing on the popsicle , while looking at the water droplets on the eaves, waiting for it to fall.

The water droplets got bigger and bigger, and he looked like a potbellied dean, shaking his belly like the tide of sea water.

The water drop finally saw through the dust and fell down, straight down, crisp and sharp, hitting the concrete floor with a bang, and then the wind chime at the courtyard door rang, like a knife cutting a crisp hole in the dull air.

The popsicle in Gu Yu's hand just happened to be bitten off, and his teeth chattered from the ice, his expression twisted, he kept exhaling cold air with his head raised, and yelled indistinctly.

The wooden door was pushed open and closed gently again. Two jumping dogs and a tall figure walked in. Gu Yu lowered his head to take a closer look. Speed ​​towards the ground.

Both of them lowered their heads and stared at the popsicle for a moment. The snow-white corpse was smashed to pieces. Gu Yu curled his lips and took a sip of the iced cola. When he raised his head, he choked on the iced cola. one place.

Gu Yu coughed for a while, then gritted his teeth and asked, "Why are you?"

Jian Qiao glanced at the messy ground with disgust, threw the messenger bag to the other side of the small table, and sat down on the futon as well.

Gu Yu looked at him repeatedly for a while, but he still hadn't recovered from his surprise.It turned out that he was the legendary "Gou squeeze" classmate. Thinking about it this way, he was only a little bit away from the correct answer.

Jian Qiao is his classmate. He was an engineering student before, and he transferred to their class in the second semester of his freshman year.In the past six months, he has always only sat in the corner, not taking the initiative to answer questions, nor causing any troubles, and his sense of presence is extremely low.If it wasn't for his good looks, Gu Yu would occasionally turn his head to peek at him in class. After thinking about it carefully, he had nothing to do with him, and he didn't even say a word.

Jian Qiao didn't really want to talk to him, so he asked straight to the point: "Where's Mr. Gu?"

"Take a nap," Gu Yu took another sip of the iced Coke, wiped his mouth with the back of his hand, and handed the bottle to Jianqiao, "Drink?"

Jian Qiao glanced at him, frowned, and immediately refused: "No drink, thank you."

"Oh," Gu Yu responded, "Then shall I wake him up?"

"No need," Jian Qiao hurriedly stopped, "Let's talk about it when the old man wakes up."

"Chengmen Lixue," Gu Yu picked up the Coke and took another sip, "Then just wait."

This time Jianqiao didn't respond, the two of them were silent in the summer afternoon, and they didn't speak for a long time.

Gu Yu glanced at Jian Qiao quietly, he was staring at the ground with lowered eyelids, his expression was calm and gentle.A drop of crystal clear sweat flowed down his forehead, and flowed along the contour of his chin into a curving stream.At this moment, Gu Yu suddenly found that his appearance was exceptionally good-looking, and it was different from the boring, silent pot-face before.Look further down...huh?Why is the mud point all over the body, it seems to be still wet.

"Drink it, it's such a hot day," Gu Yu put the big bottle of Coke on the small table, "I won't make you tea, it's a lot of effort."

Jian Qiao stared at the Coke for a while, took it after a little hesitation, raised his head and took a long gulp.

"My name is Gu Yu." Gu Yu said.

Jian Qiao put the Coke on the table and said, "I know. Jian Qiao."

Gu Yu was stunned for a moment, and then suddenly laughed. They had known each other for half a year, and they only started to introduce themselves now.He was suddenly very curious, and asked, "Hey, do you really know me? It feels like you are going to retire."

"I know you," Jian Qiao glanced at him, "The teacher asks you to answer questions every day, it's hard not to know him or not."

Gu Yu shrugged and looked at him: "Are you here to report?"

"...Ah." Jian Qiao nodded.

Gu Yu reminded him: "You are late."

"...I've slept through it, I'm sorry." Jian Qiao said.

Gu Yu nodded, and held back solemnly for a while, not holding it in for too long, but still couldn't help laughing out loud.

Jian Qiao frowned: "You are very happy."

"Yes," Gu Yu smiled to himself for a while, before saying, "I am your master's grandson, and you are my grandfather's closed disciple. He is getting old, and he will not accept any more apprentices in the future. His heart is broken. Well, you can't be mad at him, you have to follow him."

"Oh," Jian Qiao blinked and replied, "I will try my best."

as far as possible?Gu Yu glanced at him, raised his head and drank the big bottle of Coke, thinking that he himself was like this.Don't make grandpa angry, you have to do what he wants, he knows all this, but usually he can only do his best, and he often gets scolded.He capped the bottle vigorously, and raised his hand and threw the Coke bottle into the trash can in the corner.

It must have been knocked too hard just now, and now Jian Qiao felt a particularly painful arm.He lowered his head and gritted his teeth, enduring the pain and rubbing.

Gu Yu glanced at him and asked, "What's wrong with you?"

"It's nothing." Jian Qiao replied, he couldn't say "Thank you two stupid dogs for making me fall and eat shit just now".

Before, Gu Yu always thought that Jian Qiao was very artistic, dressed freshly, not talkative, with fair skin and tall figure, just like a statue of a prince.This is a good time, with disheveled hair, wet and dirty shirt and trousers, "unlucky" written on the left face, "decadent" written on the right face, and "unhappy" horizontally written on the forehead.

Gu Yu stood up and walked into his bedroom, rummaged through the closet and pulled out a white T-shirt and a pair of trousers. He took two cans of soda from the refrigerator and put them on the small table in the yard.

"Hey!" Jian Qiao quickly picked up his clothes, "The table is wet!"

"Just now there was a little water vapor outside the Coke bottle, not as wet as your clothes." Gu Yu turned around and raised his hand: "That room is the bathroom, and the hot water is on the right."

Jian Qiao was silent for a while, feeling a little moved besides embarrassment: "Thank you."

"Go slowly," Gu Yu picked up a bottle of soda and took a sip, then said, "Don't fall down."

"Okay," Jian Qiao nodded with humiliation, and said through gritted teeth, "Your dog is so cute."

Gu Yu bit the can and laughed.

The author has something to say: I haven't seen you for a long time, and I finally opened up again!

After I finished writing "Thirst" last time, I originally planned to start "Desolation", but halfway through writing, I was busy with other things, so I was forced to put it on hold, and I didn't want to continue writing, so I wrote "Greedy", which was later renamed "Painting Boat" Listen to Rain Sleep".

There are a few old friends in this story, I hope brothers and sisters like it, hehe.
