embrace the moon

The lights in the corridor turned on, and Yi Xianghan's high-heeled shoes made a thumping sound as he stepped on the stairs, crisp and clear.She stopped at the door, Xu Shuilan looked at her from a short distance across a few steps.

"I'm here." Yi Xianghan fumbled in the bag, but found nothing. He searched it back and forth, without stopping to mutter, "I'm home..."

She didn't find the key for a while, kicked her high heels impatiently, stood on the ground barefoot, slapped the door, and shouted angrily, "Old Zheng! Where's my mother's key!"

Xu Shuilan hurried over and covered her mouth.Yi Xianghan was still cursing and yelling, if he hadn't been dressed up so beautifully, he would have looked a bit like a bickering shrew in the street.

"Bullshit man! Stealing my old lady's key..." Before finishing speaking, Xu Shuilan quickly covered her tightly: "Senior sister, it's already late, please don't make trouble."

As soon as Xu Shuilan let go, Yi Xianghan grabbed his hair, kicked him, and slammed into the door before he could stand still.Xu Shuilan quickly gave her a hand, and fell into a very awkward situation. She didn't dare to touch her, and didn't know what to do.

He squatted down, gently held her ankle, and put the high heels back on.Yi Xianghan put his hand on his shoulder, approached him suddenly, and sang with a smile: "Happy birthday to you! Happy birthday to you!"

"Senior Sister," Xu Shuilan sighed helplessly, "It's past twelve o'clock, and your birthday was yesterday."

As soon as Yi Xianghan heard this, she blew up, picked up her bag and slammed it on the door, making a muffled bang, and she shouted: "It's all your fault! I'm one year older, and it's all your fault! Old Zheng , I want you to reflect deeply today!"

Xu Shuilan took her bag and motioned: "Senior sister, let me find the key for you."

"Lock it up," Yi Xianghan lay on the door, listening carefully to the movement inside, but there was no sound at all, "Don't let Master see, Gu Xiaobao got into trouble again, then... the window glass of the old Wang's house, isn't it just Was it hit by his ball?"

Xu Shuilan searched in her bag, took out the key and opened the door, and pulled Yi Xianghan to the sofa to sit down.

Yi Xianghan's house was pretty much the same as he imagined. The coffee table was full of snacks, and clothes for spring, summer, autumn and winter were placed on the sofa. The decorations were not literary statues, but some strangely shaped small things, and several pots of succulents were placed on the window sill. Plants have dried up like specimens.The house looks quite messy, but it is very clean and tidy. It belongs to the type of chaos and order, which is similar to her personality.

Yi Xianghan sat down, and there was basically no place to sit on the sofa.Xu Shuilan stood in front of her and said, "Senior sister, can you pack up and go to sleep?"

Yi Xianghan raised his hand and saluted very seriously: "I promise to complete the task!"

"Okay," Xu Shuilan nodded, couldn't help laughing, suddenly squatted down, looked at her, and asked softly, "Your boyfriend, is he... nice to you?"

Yi Xianghan chuckled, buried his face in a spring sweater or a winter coat, and said in a muffled voice, "My old Zheng is the best man."

"Well," Xu Shuilan replied, "That's good."

Yi Xianghan didn't make any movement, so Xu Shuilan got up and walked towards the door. When the door was closed, he watched her figure carefully.

There was a narrow gap in the door, he lowered his voice and said softly: "Senior Sister, good night."

No one responded to him, so he closed the door silently, and as the lock was locked with a "click", his heart sank.

The lights in the corridor dimmed, and he stood silently in the dark for a long time.

The cool wind was still blowing at night, and a bright moon hung high in the sky, vaguely covered by the misty clouds.

Leng Qing didn't take a look at Gu Yu, just stepped over the threshold and walked out of the yard.Gu Yu looked at his back, a little dazed.

Just now, he walked unsteadily to the door of the lounge, and saw Leng Qing bent over and hugged Jian Qiao who was sitting in the corner of the sofa. They didn't speak, they were very quiet and lonely.At that moment, Gu Yu felt for the first time that he was superfluous. The comfort they gave to each other was so heavy and unique that even a ray of moonlight could not be contained.

Jian Qiao also got up, walked slowly through the main hall, and walked into the bathroom. The light was on, and water mist came out of the cracks.Soon, he came out covered in steam, walked straight to Gu Yu, squatted down in front of him, and asked, "Are you okay?"

Gu Yu nodded.

Jian Qiao looked at him for a while, then asked, "Why are you unhappy?"

"Huh?" Gu Yu turned his head away from him, shook his head, "No."

"No?" Jian Qiao still looked at him. The two were deadlocked for a while. Jian Qiao stood up and looked down at him, "Go to bed early."

Jian Qiao lifted his legs across the threshold, passed him, left the main hall, and walked into the bedroom. The door was closed, and Gu Yu slammed his head on the door frame.

It turned out that Jian Qiao's patience with him was only 1 minute.

He felt that he might be a little drunk, and he was getting more and more sober when he was drunk.

After taking a bath, Gu Yu picked up the watch on the sink that Jian Qiao had forgotten so many times, wrapped in a bath towel and walked to the door of Jian Qiao's room. The lights inside had been turned off, and there was no light to be seen.

Gu Yu didn't go in, nor did he knock on the door, he squatted down and put his watch at the door.When he got up, his head was in a daze, he staggered, he couldn't stand firmly, and he slammed to the ground suddenly.

He slept soundly that night, he didn't know whether it was because he was too sleepy or because he passed out from drinking, anyway, he was so heavy that he didn't even have a dream.

The next day, Gu Yu was woken up by the movement outside the window. When he listened carefully, he heard someone talking.

"Master, you are back," Jian Qiao said, "Don't bother, I have already walked the dog."

"My dear disciples, let's see what delicious food I brought back for you," Mr. Gu said happily, "Xiaobao hasn't woken up yet, right? I'll call him!"

"Hey, Master, he was very tired the past two days, let him sleep more," Jian Qiao said, "You have breakfast first, and I'll come after watering the flowers."

Listening to the chat between the two, Gu Yu opened his eyes and stared at the ceiling in a daze for an unknown amount of time. He was completely awake when Gu Meiniang broke in through the door.

"Meiniang, come back!" Jian Qiao chased after him, yelling in a low voice, followed it into the room, hugged the dog, and saw Gu Yu's eyes open when he turned around, he was stunned for a moment, "Wake up Already."

Gu Yu didn't respond, feeling that something was wrong, lifted the quilt and took a look inside, he was only wearing a pair of underpants.He quickly turned his head, saw the towel on the back of the chair, and heaved a sigh of relief.

"...I don't have any clothes on." Gu Yu said with his arms around the quilt, exposing his arms and shoulders.

"Ah," Jian Qiao put down the dog and looked at him, "I know."

Meiniang ran towards him like a wild horse, jumped onto the bed, and grabbed the quilt as usual.Gu Yu quickly grabbed the sheet and shouted in panic, "Jian Qiao!"

Jian Qiao immediately rushed forward, carried Meiniang out of bed, and then lifted the sheet around Gu Yu's neck, almost covering her face.With Jian Qiao's face in front of her eyes, she said softly, "Get up."

"Well," Gu Yu replied, and his peripheral vision glanced at his hand, still wearing the watch that was often left in the bathroom on his wrist, he smiled and nodded, "Okay."

Two days later, when they went to school in the morning, the two walked side by side in the corridor without speaking.Chen Fangxu rushed up from behind, put his arms around Jian Qiao's neck, and shouted excitedly: "Jian Qiao! You are awesome! Jiajia and I watched the live broadcast together at her house that day, and she was so happy. I'm also very happy. Jiajia said that she wants to treat you to dinner, will you go?"

Chen Fangxu talked endlessly, Gu Yu felt a little noisy, so he quickened his pace and left them.

Jian Qiao looked at his back, and couldn't quite hear what Chen Fangxu was saying.

In the next few days, Jian Qiao always felt that the atmosphere between them was a bit subtle, indescribably subtle.Gu Yu talked a lot less, no longer chatting with him all day long, and no longer bouncing around him.He suddenly felt much quieter around him, this kind of quietness that should have been his favorite, but left his heart empty.

As soon as the bell rang for the end of the last class on Thursday morning, Jian Qiao got up and carried her schoolbag.There was no class in the afternoon, so Gu Yu didn't rush to grab a meal, and tidied up in a leisurely manner.

Jian Qiao: "I have something to do, so I won't go back for dinner."

"Oh." Gu Yu nodded.

Jian Qiao glanced at the phone and walked out of the classroom.Gu Yu looked at his back, and felt that something was wrong, and it was not easy to follow him directly.

"Gu Yu! Come here," the grammar teacher Nikita called him from the podium, "You come and explain this question to your classmates."

"Here we come." Gu Yu responded, put down his schoolbag, and walked up to the podium.

When he finished his busy work, there was no one in the classroom.Gu Yu took his schoolbag, pushed his bicycle, and walked on the peaceful tree-lined path.

A boy brushed past him and bumped him on the shoulder.Gu Yu quickly turned his head and said, "I'm sorry."

The man didn't speak, turned and left.When Gu Yu glanced at his face, he felt very familiar, but who was it?I didn't remember it all at once.

He walked a little ahead, and when he turned a corner, he saw another boy pushing a bicycle.

Gu Yu whistled and chased after him: "Jian Qiao!"

Jian Qiao immediately lowered his head, and silently quickened his pace.Gu Yu grabbed him, and as soon as he got closer, he saw his face.

Gu Yu was taken aback for a moment.Jian Qiao's mouth was bleeding, and there was a bloody gash on his chin and neck.

He frowned and asked, "What's wrong with you?"

Jian Qiao shook his head: "It's okay, I fell down. Let's go home."

Gu Yu pulled him to stand still, and suddenly remembered that the boy who bumped into him just now was Qi Zirui?It's so arrogant to see and fight once.He asked, "Did you fight back?"

Jian Qiao didn't react too much, and responded, "...Huh?"

"No, right?" Gu Yu nodded, looking much colder, "I'll pay it back for you."

After finishing speaking, he threw down his schoolbag and bicycle, turned around and ran towards Qi Zirui in big strides, punching him down without saying a word.

Gu Yu squatted down, grabbed his collar, approached fiercely, and punched him in the face.

Qi Zirui felt blood oozing from the corner of his mouth, he pushed Gu Yu away with all his might, and shouted, "Get out! What's none of your business?"

"What's none of my business?" Gu Yu smiled angrily, nodded, grabbed his collar and lifted him, and pushed him up a tree, "I'll explain to you slowly, what's none of my business."

Jian Qiao stood at the corner without looking back, raised his hand to scratch his hair, and sighed.He waited here, every minute and every second was suffering.He didn't want to help anyone, and he didn't want to stand on anyone's side.He just wants to lock himself up and hide in a quiet corner that no one knows.

Finally, when Gu Yu walked over, his face was painted and his chin was covered with blood.Without saying a word, he picked up his schoolbag and carried it on his back.Jian Qiao turned his head, and before he could move a bit, Gu Yu pulled him hard and pushed him a big step forward.

"Go." Gu Yu ordered coldly, got on his bicycle, and rode straight to the school gate.

Jian Qiao hesitated for a moment, got on the bike and followed behind him, a little absent-minded.

"Go find him," Gu Yu suddenly squeezed the brakes, "I will never care about your affairs in the future."

Jian Qiao froze for a moment, Gu Yu didn't wait for his answer, turned around and continued to ride, his whole body was filled with uncontrollable anger.

Jian Qiao held the handle of the car, thought for a while, but didn't go back, and speeded up to follow.Gu Yu glanced at his figure from the corner of his eye, slowed down and waited for him to catch up.The two silently rode side by side along the boulevard to the Painting Boat Hall.

As soon as Gu Yu entered the door, he dropped his schoolbag, went to the bathroom to wash his face, then walked into the bedroom and slammed the door behind him.

Hearing this movement, Old Gu ran out of the study without knowing why.Jian Qiao had no choice but to explain: "Master, he is sleepy. I will cook."

"Oh, oh, I ate it, you two can make it yourself," Mr. Gu said, holding his glasses to look carefully, "What's wrong? Your face looks like a palette."

"...Ah," Jian Qiao was a little embarrassed, "We fell while riding a bicycle."

"Yo, then you need to apply some medicine, don't hurt your muscles and bones and can't get out of bed," Mr. Gu took out a small medicine box from under the TV cabinet, "Tell him not to sleep, and apply some medicine first."

Jian Qiao nodded: "OK."

After Gu Qianfan walked into the study, Jian Qiao put down his schoolbag and sat on the sofa to rest for a while.Then he washed the wound, went to the kitchen and opened the refrigerator, looking at the dazzling array of fresh food, but found no low-grade ingredients that he could cook perfectly.To put it simply, there is no instant noodles in the refrigerator.

Jian Qiao then ordered takeaway, took the medicine box and walked to the door of Gu Yu's bedroom, knocked on the door, but there was no response.

"Gu Yu?" Jian Qiao called out, but there was still no answer.

He held the doorknob and said, "I'm coming in."

He opened the door, and Gu Yu was lying on his back on the bed, with the back of his hands covering his eyes, and his legs resting on the edge of the bed, soundlessly, as if he had fallen asleep.

So Jian Qiao didn't call him again, approached and lay down on the edge of the bed, took his hand off, looked at the bloodstain on his neck, and was stunned.

As long as he looked at the wounds carefully, he felt even more shocking, especially when he remembered that these wounds were caused by Qi Zirui.

Jian Qiao had never been very willing to beat Qi Zirui, and his connivance with him gradually reached the point where he was unwilling to fight back even when he was beaten.He will be sad when Qi Zirui is injured, and he will also be sad when Gu Yu is injured.But he understands that he sympathizes with Qi Zirui and loves Gu Yu a lot.

He carefully sterilized the wound with alcohol, wiped the medicine lightly, and then put a band-aid on the bloody cut on Gu Yu's chin.

After finishing the treatment, Jian Qiao pulled a corner of the quilt to cover him, walked out of the room, and gently closed the door.

After he rubbed the medicine on himself in a daze, the takeaway just arrived.Jian Qiao took a bottle of soda from the refrigerator, walked to the door with a plate, and knocked: "Gu Yu, it's time to eat."

There was no sound again.Jian Qiao sighed softly, grabbed the doorknob and pressed it down, just as he opened a small crack, Gu Laifu rushed in.
