embrace the moon

"Truth or dare, whoever points the tip of the pen at it will be punished," Wang Yuanqi pinched the middle of the pen, staggered his fingertips, and turned the pen, "Here we come."

Pens were spinning rapidly on the coffee table, and everyone held their breaths, looking forward to who would be the first to be punished.

The pen slowed down and gradually stopped, with the tip pointing towards Gu Yu.Everyone coaxed, Gu Yu picked up the wine glass in front of him and drank it with his head up, and slapped his hand on his thigh, with a very heroic manner: "Big adventure!"

"It's exciting." Yi Xianghan took out the big adventure lottery tube with a smirk on his face, and handed it to him, "Xiaobao, let's go!"

Gu Yu took the lottery tube and shook it up. The bamboo sticks touched me and I touched you, and the wooden tube made a sound of boasting.Finally, a lucky bamboo stick was shaken out. Yi Xianghan picked it up impatiently, and quickly let out a cry, and everyone around him moved over curiously.

"Please choose your favorite one present to kiss," Yi Xianghan said, "Wow——"

"This is a good choice," Gu Yu got up without saying a word, picked up Gu Meiniang who was dozing off under the coffee table, and kissed its forehead neatly, "It's done."

"You mean everyone here is inferior to dogs." Zhao Mishan challenged.

"Okay, Gu Xiaobao, I'm not as important as Mei Niang in your heart!" Yi Xianghan refused, "You see people's hearts at critical moments."

Gu Yu raised his eyebrows: "Then let me kiss you?"

"Get out." Yi Xianghan took the pen and turned it around again, this time, the tip of the pen was facing Xu Shuilan.

Xu Shuilan picked up the wine glass, raised her head and drank the wine, wiped the corners of her mouth with the back of her hand, and said, "Let me choose the truth."

"Then it must be an exciting question." Wen Zhu took out the lottery tube for telling the truth.Pass it to him.Xu Shuilan took it, shook it, and shook off one, which read - How long is your longest crush?

"Have you ever had a crush on him? This handsome guy." Wang Yuanqi said.

Gu Yu scratched his head: "You should call him brother, you brat."

Xu Shuilan thought for a while, counted carefully in her mind, and said, "Eight years."

"So long?" Chu Yang was very surprised, "Why didn't you just confess your love?"

Everyone was very surprised by his eight-year secret love. Apart from being surprised, they were also a little curious about what kind of person he could not let go of for eight years.

"Yes, why didn't you tell her?" Wen Zhu asked.

Xu Shuilan smiled: "Because I like her very much, but I can only like her secretly. I haven't spoken a word to her in eight years."

"My God," Wang Yuanqi sighed, "you can hold back so much, you're going to do big things in the future."

"Lanlan, you have to make a change!" Yi Xianghan encouraged him impassionedly, "You have to say it out loud, maybe she's waiting for you to speak, she's timid, not a man at all!"

Xu Shuilan was a little dazed: "What?"

"Lanlan, my grandma fried crab legs!"

"Lanlan, coward, come to the river if you have the ability!"

"Lanlan, where are you hiding?"

"Lanlan, I'm leaving."

"Expressing, what's the difficulty." Yi Xianghan said, pulling him back to his thoughts, and the voices that were rising and falling in his mind receded like a tide.

He nodded: "That makes sense."

"Next!" Yi Xianghan turned his pen, and the tip of the pen stopped facing Leng Qing.

Desolate and helpless, thought for a while: "A big adventure."

"Wow," Yi Xianghan picked up the bamboo tube and shook it, "I'll draw lots for you."

The bamboo stick that fell out said "Send 'I like you' to the first star friend on WeChat", and everyone started booing as soon as they saw it.Leng Qing took out her mobile phone and was surrounded by a group of people.He found the only star friend with only one word "Jane" in the remark.

"It's boring, I thought there was a girl," Wang Yuanqi sat back on the sofa in disappointment, "It's actually Jian Qiao."

Everyone gasped in disappointment, only Gu Yu quietly widened his eyes, looking at him silently and nervously.

Leng Qing clicked on the dialog box, hesitated for a moment with his fingertips, and typed a few words on the keyboard - I like you.

Jian Qiao's cell phone rang in his coat pocket, he didn't take it out to take a look, but filled a glass of wine, and drank it clean.

Everyone continued to play games, making noise and laughing.However, Gu Yu felt as if something suddenly dropped in his heart, wandering in the bottom of his heart in a low voice, which made him lose interest all of a sudden.

In the next game, the pen finally turned to today's birthday star Yi Xianghan.Without thinking about it, she chose the big adventure, and got a very exciting topic-picking a person of the opposite sex to look at each other affectionately for 1 minute.

Yi Xianghan thought about it, looked left and right, picked and chose Zhao Mishan.

"Come with a straight man, it's safer." Yi Xianghan said.

But as expected, the straight man lived up to expectations and rejected her neatly: "I don't want to, what's so good about your eyes."

Don't be angry, don't be angry, anger is the devil hurting the body.Yi Xianghan took a deep breath, punched Zhao Mishan hard on the shoulder, and waved his hand: "Gu Xiaobao is here."

Gu Yuzheng was drinking wine with blank eyes, sitting on the carpet with his head leaning on the armrest of the sofa, like a down-and-out wild child without a home.

"Forget it, pick a better-looking one," Yi Xianghan re-selected a disgusted one, "Lanlan."

Chu Yang was very dissatisfied with the trial: "Brother Yu is so good-looking, in my opinion he is the best looking."

"Yes, yes, his farts are delicious." Wang Yuanqi said bitterly.

Xu Shuilan approached Yi Xianghan, sat on the carpet, and looked up at her.Yi Xianghan sat on the sofa, supported his head with his hands, and lowered his head.

Xu Shuilan felt that his eyes should contain many things, many things that he insisted on guarding for the whole eight years.However, there was no emotion in Yi Xianghan's eyes. She seemed to be carefully observing his pupils, but she didn't feel the emotion.

"Okay!" Yi Xianghan patted his legs, looked away, and leaned back against the sofa.

Wang Yuanqi poked Xu Shuilan's back with his elbow, and asked, "How does it feel?"

Xu Shuilan smiled: "It's pretty."

Everyone yelled at the same time, Wen Zhu asked Yi Xianghan: "Senior sister, how do you feel?"

"I..." Yi Xianghan deliberately went around in circles, and finally said it neatly, "A man who has a famous flower and a master doesn't deserve to feel it."

When everyone heard this, they booed more and more, and their attention was suddenly taken away by what she said.

"What do you mean?" Chu Yang asked, "Sister, is something wrong with you?"

Yi Xianghan leaned on the sofa, crossed Erlang's legs, swung his legs leisurely, blushed, and said coyly, "Hmm."

Zhao Mishan was as shocked as a thunderbolt: "You actually found a boyfriend?!"

"How to talk!" Yi Xianghan yelled unconvinced.

"Who is who? Take it out for a walk." "Which bald donkey has no eyes?" "Sister, I want your boyfriend to treat you to dinner!"

Everyone chattered and chattered, and even the dog lying on the ground raised its head to join in the fun.

Xu Shuilan looked at everyone quietly, and clenched the wine glass tightly.The world in front of me is still, the moonlight is still, the air is still, the wind and the night are still.Like a pool of quiet and deep water that no one disturbs, there is not even a string of footprints on the shore.

The pen twirled around, then pointed to Jian Qiao and stopped, and he said without hesitation: "Big adventure."

"It's boring," Yi Xianghan said, "There are so many big adventures, you choose the truth."

Zhao Mishan scolded her mercilessly: "With such a dictatorship, you are the empress Wu Zetian of a generation."

Yi Xianghan clicked his tongue, and in order to prevent the two from bickering again, Jian Qiao nodded quickly: "That's fine."

A generation of queens picked up the bamboo tube, shook it, and shook off a stick.

"Career, sign up." Gu Yu said in a deep voice.

Jian Qiao glanced at him, but said nothing.Gu Yu's emotions are written all over his face, and he doesn't put on a show for anyone to see, but he just can't hide the truth.He wasn't mad or making trouble, and he wasn't in high spirits, you could tell at a glance.

Yi Xianghan looked at the bamboo stick and read out: "When was your first love and first kiss? Please tell me the details."

Jian Qiao looked at a row of curious gossip faces in front of him, and gave an answer that disappointed them: "I've never been in a relationship."

"Boring," Wang Yuanqi shook the bamboo tube again, "This question doesn't count."

A new bamboo stick fell out, Wang Yuanqi picked it up and said, "Who is the person you most want to see at this moment?"

Jian Qiao lowered his eyelids and said softly, "One of my family members."

Wang Yuanqi suddenly pointed the finger at Yi Xianghan: "Senior sister, who do you want to see the most right now?"

Everyone laughed: "It must be someone~"

They quarreled late into the night, when the cake was eaten, and bottles of wine were drank, and secrets were told that were not at all secrets, and neurotic and joyful things were done, until almost everyone was drunk.

"Slowly...you send her...send her..." Gu Yu commanded with difficulty, "You two, send Wen Zhu..."

"Damn Wenzhu!" Wang Yuanqi shouted.

"Get out," Gu Yu kicked him, "Chuyang, you send..."

"I know, I know," Chu Yang supported Wang Yuanqi, still retaining some sense, "Don't worry, go and rest."

But these two boys didn't complete the task, Wen Zhu sent them all the way to the gate of the community, watched them get into the car before returning to the painting boat hall.Xu Shuilan was pretty reliable, supported Yi Xianghan, and got into the car with Zhao Mishan.

Wen Zhu walked into the room, cleaned up the table and floor, cleaned up the living room, and Gu Yu sat on the threshold, leaning against the door frame to watch her busy.

He asked with the remaining rationality: "How come...you are never drunk?"

Wen Zhu took a rag, walked up to him, knelt down, and said softly: "I come from a wine country, and I grew up smelling of wine. Even the big men in the Northeast may not be able to drink better than me."

Gu Yu nodded, and replied in a ignorant voice: "...Oh."

"I'm done packing and I'm going home," Wen Zhu asked, "Are you cold? Why don't you wash up and go to sleep?"

"Okay," Gu Yu nodded again, his hair drooping docilely in front of his forehead, he looked very cute, and his tone of voice was respectful, a bit coquettish, "Okay, grandma."

Wen Zhu couldn't hold back, and burst out laughing: "Who is your grandma?"

Every time the friends of Huazhoutang get together, Wen Zhu is the one who stays until the end and can see everyone's drunken state.Some people would fall asleep when drunk, such as Zhao Mishan and Chuyang.Wang Yuanqi belongs to the type of person who gets more drunk and happier, and who gets more and more hot-tempered.There are also people like Gu Yu and Yi Xianghan who talk nonsense endlessly after drinking too much.

"Grandma, where are your new clothes?" Gu Yu looked at her, and laughed, "The big pot Haidilao, Jiugongge, I have booked a big table. It's so full, I can't eat it."

"Then don't eat it." Wen Zhu said.

"Jian Qiao, I don't want to eat seafood." Gu Yu lowered his head and grabbed the corner of his coat, "Grandpa, don't stew Mei Niang and Lai Fu, they are super fierce."

When Gu Meiniang heard Gu Yu calling her name, she ran over with her butt pouted, and looked at him curiously with her head tilted.

"The chicken legs can walk now." Gu Yu raised his head, leaned back, knocked his head heavily on the door frame, and sighed, "Grandma, Xiaobao likes you so much."

"Hey!" Wen Zhu was taken aback, and quickly stretched out his hand to rub the back of his head. The bump was not light, but he acted as if nothing had happened, and he looked very at ease. Wen Zhu felt helpless and patted his head , whispered, "I like you too."

Gu Yu tilted his head, and suddenly pointed at her: "Wen Zhu, quickly let... those two children take you home, be careful... be careful..."

He thought for a while, and then said: "I wish you a long life than Nanshan."

Wen Zhu nodded, not knowing whether to laugh or cry: "Okay, thank you."

Only Jian Qiao and Leng Leng were left in the lounge, they sat at the two ends of the sofa, silent.Jian Qiao got up and went to the kitchen to pour two glasses of juice, returned to the lounge, looked deserted, and asked: "The red flavor is lychee, and the blue flavor is blueberry. Which one do you want?"

Leng Qing thought for a while: "It should be blue."

"Oh," Jian Qiao held two glasses of juice, turned his head and looked at him intently, "Blue, which one is it?"

Leng Leng's fingers paused and fell silent.

"Speak." Jian Qiao said.

Lengqing couldn't answer, in this dim night, he couldn't give an answer.

Jian Qiao put down the two glasses of juice in his hand, picked up the wine on the table, and drank it down in one gulp.He didn't really want to talk anymore, and he always felt that arguing and arguing were just a meaningless game.

Frowning coldly, he tilted his head to look at him, and stopped him: "Jian Qiao, don't drink."

Jian Qiao breathed hard, poured a big glass of wine, just raised his head and took a big sip, then stood up and walked over in a deserted manner, snatched the wine glass and put it on the tea table with all his strength, the glass collided with a crisp sound .

"I'm leaving." He said in a cold voice.

Jian Qiao's fingers tightly gripped the sofa, feeling absurd, he chuckled lightly, and Leng Qing immediately stopped in his tracks.

"You left without saying anything, but you gave me the quota for the competition. What did I get, your charity? Is what I want is what you gave me to get?" Jian Qiao Nestled in the corner of the sofa, the dim light hit him, looking very lonely, his suppressed emotions for three years surged up at this moment, completely drowning him, "I'm like a fool, I hate you every day Why do you want to leave? Every day I think, if it wasn’t for me, wouldn’t you be cornered…”

Jian Qiao's voice was hoarse and harsh, tearing the cold air apart, and the room was so quiet that the trembling in his breathing could be heard.

"You are short of money, invisible, and seriously ill. Even these things I have to hear from other people. If you hadn't recovered, what would you have done? If Gu Qianfan hadn't met you, what would you have done? "Jian Qiao's emotions gradually lost control and collapsed, out of restraint, despair and remorse, his heart was empty, and he lost the last support, "Leng Qing, so many things happened, why...why didn't you tell me?!"

Leng Qing silently listened to his question sentence by sentence, feeling like a bloody wound was cut open by a knife blade.

Even if I told Jian Qiao at the beginning, how could I speak?What else can it do?How could he let Jian Qiao know the scars and pains in his heart that he couldn't mention, and after talking about it, how could he still leave the place where he was?

Turning to look at him coldly: "Jian Qiao..."

Jian Qiao didn't respond, but immediately turned his face to the side, raised the back of his hand to cover his eyes.

He choked on the deserted words, and finally couldn't utter them.
