embrace the moon

"Lanlan, you're so worthless," Yi Xianghan back then walked in front of him with his ponytail tied up, showing his smooth and beautiful forehead, "If I were you, I wouldn't be bullied. Sister, please drink coconut milk." ,Do you want?"

"Everyone is going to catch crabs by the river, will you come with us?" She rolled up her sleeves neatly, raising her eyebrows at him proudly, "I'm good at catching crabs."

"I'm Gu Qianfan's student, so of course I can draw better than them." She proudly looked at the works lined up on the side of the road, raised her chin, her face full of heroism, "I'm going to be a great painter in the future .”

"Lanlan, I'm leaving," she said goodbye to him with her suitcase, "Maybe you will see my paintings in the future, and then don't say you don't know them!"

Now it seems that the unknown person is not him, but her.

"What are you looking at me for? Order." Yi Xianghan stretched out his hand and snapped his fingers in front of Xu Shuilan, and then he suddenly came back to his senses and turned to look at the menu.

"I want coconut milk." Xu Shuilan said.

"Why are you here?" he asked, turning around.

Yi Xianghan: "I'm bored and follow them around, looking for inspiration. Some time ago, I kept thinking about it every day, and I felt that my brain was about to be drained."

"Then you can relax," Xu Shuilan said, "There is a cat cafe nearby, do you want to go?"

"Cats?" Yi Xianghan smiled, "How do you know I like cats, then let's go."

Not only do I know that you like cats, but I also know that you like cihua cats the most, and you like to stroke the cat's fur the most, and you look pretty when you smile.

He followed her, step by step, looking down at her heels.

At that time, she was tall, and he was very small, only reaching her shoulders; now he has grown into a gentle and tall young man, standing half a head taller than her beside her.At that time, she wore loose and simple clothes, with a high ponytail, and she had no taboo about playing with a group of boys, like a heartless tomboy; now she has long hair like waterfalls, wears long skirts and coats, walks On the road, she looks like a slim girl.

I will let you slowly think of that unforgettable, amazing and gorgeous summer in memory.

Xu Shuilan took two big steps, walked to her side, and walked forward together with her.

In the evening, after taking a shower, Gu Yu wiped his hair with a towel, sat on the edge of the bed and picked up his mobile phone. Two new messages just popped out.

-11:09 p.m.-

Chensha and Guohui: Come here.

Chensha and Guohui: pay attention to cover.

Gu Yu put down his phone suspiciously, and while wiping his wet hair with a towel, he quietly slipped out of the room.

It was already dark outside, and a light could still be seen in the crack of the door of Grandpa and Jianqiao's house.Before Gu Yu had time to walk to the door of the next room, Mr. Gu opened the door and came out, saw him and asked, "If you don't sleep at night, what are you doing here?"

Gu Yu quickly explained: "I drink saliva."

"Pour me a glass too." Mr. Gu said, and walked into the study.As soon as he turned around and left, Gu Yu quickly poured a glass of water and put it on the table, and ran into Jian Qiao's room in a hurry.

Gu Yu closed the door and leaned against the door frame to see Jian Qiao standing in front of the desk with his back facing him. He didn't know what he was doing, so he called out, "Jian Qiao?"

Jian Qiao turned around and smiled at him, holding a KFC family bucket in his hand.

"Well... I was a little hungry, so I ordered this, and I was afraid I wouldn't be able to finish it...Actually, you misunderstood, no one stipulates that a family of three must be a family of three..." Jian Qiao babbled He stuttered and explained, but before he could finish, Gu Yu rushed over and bumped him into his arms, almost knocking the whole family bucket into the air.

"Jian Qiao, you are too kind!" Gu Yu exclaimed excitedly, his wet hair rubbing against his neck was icy cold.

"Hey, okay, okay," Jian Qiao couldn't resist, "Hurry up, I'm really hungry."

Gu Yu sat at the table with him, picked up the chicken legs and gnawed.In fact, Gu Qianfan has never treated him badly since he was a child, serving him deliciously and nutritiously, otherwise he wouldn't have grown into such a tall man.He ate a lot more delicious food than this fast food, but for more than ten years, he always thought about this in his heart.

Gu Qianfan can see it sometimes, but he can't find a suitable way to open his quietly buried knot.The bloodline of family affection is sometimes the bond of connection, and sometimes it is also an obstacle that separates them.

The old man stood outside the door with an old newspaper, and brought his face closer. Hearing the two people talking and laughing in the room, he also laughed, and his wrinkles piled up one by one, forming endless ravines.

After eating, Gu Yu slumped on the chair, rubbed his stomach, and turned to look at the head of the bed.

"Did you give Gu Kaikai a name?" Gu Yu asked.

Jian Qiao was drinking Coke, and a question mark slowly popped up in his head: "What's on?"

"Gu Kaikai, Gu Kaikai!" Gu Yu shouted impatiently.

"Gu Kaikai, just Gu Kaikai, what are you calling?" Jian Qiao put down the Coke and followed his gaze. The gray plush bear in the red sweater was lying crookedly on the side of the pillow, so he After finally realizing it, "You mean...the bear?"

"Yes," Gu Yu nodded, looking at him expectantly, "Have you named it yet?"

Jian Qiao was stunned for a moment, and another question mark popped up on his head: "You call it Gu Kaikai, why should I choose a name?"

"I took it, not you," Gu Yu said, "There is a brown-haired one in my room, named Gu Xinxin."

Wow, it sounds so good.Jian Qiao tried his best to praise this beautiful name, but in the end he couldn't match the condemnation of his conscience and chose to give up: "Happy?"

"Ah." Gu Yu nodded seriously.

"You separated Happy and Happy, won't they cry at night?" Jian Qiao asked.

Gu Yu was stunned for a moment before realizing it, and laughed out loud: "Jian Qiao, are you sick?"

"Who is sick, exactly who is sick," Jian Qiao leaned back in the chair, "If I insist on naming a teddy bear that already has a name, I don't know who is sick."

"I'll put it on your bedside and I'll give it to you, why not give it a name." Gu Yu didn't care.

"Then Jane will open it." Jian Qiao said.

Gu Yu felt sincerely relieved that Jian Qiao didn't dismantle the happy group name, he nodded, stood up, and waved to him: "I'm going back to the room."

After speaking, he waved to Jane again: "Goodbye."

"Good night." Jian Qiao said.

Gu Yu was a little embarrassed, it was really hard for him to say these two gentle and hypocritical words.He walked to the door, squeezed the doorknob, and said "good night" coyly.

Under Gu Qianfan's mediation, Leng Qing and Jian Qiao finally started to communicate, but they only said some simple professional words, not a single word of nonsense, Gu Yu didn't quite understand, they were in a cold war , or really just want to grow old and die without contact.

Their entries have entered the final stage of preparation. They stay in that studio every day, drawing endlessly, designing endlessly, and changing endlessly. It is estimated that the next step is to bury half of their bodies in the ground and devote their lives to art. cause.

After Jian Qiao moved away from the school, Chen Fangxu expressed his calling and missing him all day long, and Cai Zhe had no contact with him anymore.As for that Qi Zirui who couldn't enter the community anymore, I don't know if he came looking for him as a monster, anyway, he didn't see anything unusual on the surface.

The National College Russian Contest came to an end. The students sent out by the department won the third prize and won the opportunity to study abroad at the national government expense. When everyone was applauding, Gu Yu sat in the corner of the classroom and applauded with a smile. Reluctantly, it's not unwillingness, but reluctance.

All the teachers had unanimously agreed to send Gu Yu to the competition, but no one thought that he would give up his chance and give up the spot to someone else.Nikita also said that if he was the one who sent it, he would have won the second prize at least.

And why is he unwilling to study abroad?Nobody knows why.

"Are you going to study abroad next year?" Gu Yu opened the textbook and asked in a low voice.

"No," Jian Qiao replied simply, "I don't love it."

Gu Yu was puzzled by this question: "Then why did you learn it?"

Who doesn't have a few secrets?Jian Qiao didn't want to talk, and all he was left with was a silent silence with a deep aftertaste.

Although Gu Yu didn't say anything, Jian Qiao always felt that he was very unhappy. He loves this language very much, and he is more eager than anyone else to integrate into the real language environment and experience more humanities beyond language. strength, and find joy and solace in it.

"Then are you going out? You are so outstanding." Jian Qiao said.

Gu Yu shook his head and started to read.

After class, the two pushed the car side by side to the school gate. Along the way, Jian Qiao and Gu Yu were forced to pick out words from each other. You tested my verb conjugation, and I tested your noun declension. Slack, but he felt that there was really no need to be like this. Wouldn't it be nice to stay for a while along the way?

"Little Treasure!" A man walked over from the sidewalk and hurriedly called out.

Gu Yu was stunned for a moment, then turned his head to look over there, only to see his father Gu Tianbai wearing a business attire, carrying a briefcase in his hand, walking towards him with a smile on his face, looking kind and amiable, and he had been with him for more than ten years The attitude of leaving him in the painting boat hall is very different.

"Xiaobao, is get out of class over?" Gu Tianbai asked attentively.Jian Qiao got stuck between them and moved his bicycle back a little to make room for them.

Gu Yu's pondering expression that was still thinking about words just now faded away, and turned into a loveless and indifferent face: "Why are you here?"

Gu Tianbai didn't care too much, he put his heart on his hot face and cold buttocks: "How did you think about what my mother and I told you before? It's almost the weekend, and my father came to want you to have dinner with our family on Saturday." Have a meal, get to know each other, and communicate with your brother. Seafood dinner, do you like it?"

Gu Yu looked at the wheels in front of the bicycle, tightly gripped the handle, and said coldly: "No."

"Xiaobao, last time Dad shouldn't say anything about you or about grandparents, just forgive me, okay?" Gu Tianbai let go of his usual airs and figure, and tentatively asked.

Gu Yu sneered: "Who is my father? Who is my brother? Which family is your family?"

Hearing that he asked these three questions in a row, Gu Tianbai felt that he was unreasonable, and also a little bit annoyed by such an attitude.How many people usually respectfully serve and look up to him, who would dare to talk to him like this?However, with his own son, he lost all his prestige, like a down-and-out wild dog who has no dignity and has been drenched in the rain all night.

"Please go back, don't look for me again." Gu Yu said.

Gu Tianbai obviously has no patience, frowning is about to explode, and he is bound to start his long lecture again, overlooking him from a high position, scolding him one by one, exposing his scars one after another, Tell him with all your strength to remind him how embarrassing and meaningless his Gu Yu's life is.

Gu Tianbai wanted to drag him for two or three rounds, but Gu Yu had no choice but to get on the bike with his long legs and gallop forward.

Jian Qiao immediately followed him on his bicycle, and rode side by side for a while. Together they descended from the crossroads and rushed over a long downhill.

"How about I take you to a seafood dinner?" Jian Qiao asked.

Gu Yu laughed and glanced at him: "Thank you, I accepted it kindly."

"Only accept good intentions, not shrimp soldiers and crab generals?" Jian Qiao asked again.

Gu Yu was silent for a moment before saying, "He doesn't know, I can't eat seafood."

Jian Qiao didn't expect that Gu Yu rejected Gu Tianbai because of this.Gu Tianbai's original intention is definitely not to say that he must eat seafood, but to pull them into the relationship, but the fact that he doesn't know anything about his daily preferences or even his physical condition is enough to pull their relationship apart up.

"Then you don't eat a lot." Jian Qiao thought for a while, trying to recall, "Don't eat mushrooms, don't eat bitter melon, don't eat tomatoes."

"That's why I don't like seafood, you can't eat seafood," Gu Yu explained, suddenly reacting, and asked suspiciously, "Huh? How do you know that I don't eat those things?"

Jian Qiao raised the corner of his mouth and smiled slightly: "Guess?"

"I guess..." Gu Yu thought about it for a while, but to no avail, no answer.

Jian Qiao was silent, smiled, and thought again: "Then... treat you to hot pot?"

"Young master Jian is rich and powerful if you want to invite me to dinner so much." Gu Yu joked.

"Recently, I have indeed made money. The art exhibition and works have been settled. Now I have a lot of money and have nowhere to spend it. I feel very aggrieved." Jian Qiao said.

"Shameless," Gu Yu curled his lips, "Evil capitalism."

"Do you want to eat?" Jian Qiao asked.

"Eat!" Gu Yu said decisively.

Gu Yu felt that the tastes of the two of them were surprisingly similar. They liked spicy food and heavy flavors, but Jian Qiao didn't like to drink soda. When Gu Yu poured the third bottle of Coke, he finally said, "Drink less soda. .”

"Huh?" Gu Yu gulped down several big gulps, "What?"

Jian Qiao sighed: "I've known you until now, and I've basically only seen you drinking soda, you won't grow tall."

"I'm already tall enough." Gu Yu said.

Jian Qiao doesn't want to talk to him anymore, forget it, he can't be persuaded, just let it go.

Gu Yu picked out a big bowl of vegetarian dishes for himself, and said, "I'm going to compete in a few days, and I have to book tickets for you when I go back."

Jian Qiao responded, and then suddenly realized: "Aren't you going?"

"What am I going to do? Witness your moment of glory? Then what if you don't win the prize..." Gu Yu stopped talking in the middle of speaking, it's too unlucky, why did he say that he won't win the prize before going to the competition? .He hurriedly said with a playful smile: "But if you really want me to go..."

Jian Qiao casually stirred the soup base in the bowl with chopsticks, and said in a deep voice, "I want to."

Gu Yu was taken aback for a moment, the sliced ​​lotus root fell from the chopsticks, and he raised his head: "Huh?"

Jian Qiao gently rubbed the chopsticks with his fingertips, raised his head, looked straight into his eyes, and said, "I really want to."

The author has something to say: Gu Xiaobao: It's a heart-pounding feeling.
