embrace the moon

New Year's Eve, New Year's Eve dinner.

Gu Yu stared at the table full of sumptuous delicacies in front of him in a daze.There were a few noisy children sitting next to them, and on the opposite side were two couples of half-acquainted people. Old man Gu was sitting on the upper seat with a happy smile on his face.

There is also a boy on the table, who is said to be his distant relative, who has returned from abroad and is taking his gap year.This boy seemed to be about the same age as him, and he was very lovable, and he chattered endlessly, making everyone at the table laugh out loud.

Everyone shared their own lives, laughed together, made noise together, drank soy milk and soft drinks, and ate the New Year's goods that had been prepared for more than half a month.

The Spring Festival Gala is on the TV, and the old faces who appear every year are still in the skits. A line can make the audience roar with laughter.

The joys and sorrows of human beings are not the same.

Gu Yu suddenly thought of this sentence written by Mr. Lu Xun.

Is it noisy?

Very noisy.

But it seems that everyone is really happy.

How could he agree to come to eat this New Year's Eve dinner that doesn't belong to him?

How could he accept face to face with his former parents and pretend nothing happened?

How could he smile and say "thank you" to Gu Tianbai's toast like now?

I really want to escape.

I really want to sleep.

so tired.

After the holiday, Gu Yu took over the translation work of a Russian band, and he had to follow them every day when they went out, whether it was a performance, shopping, or even going out on a date, he had to watch other people kiss.

I have been running all day today, and I came here without even returning home.

This is Gu Tianbai's home.

Really impressive.

Worthy of being a big boss.

That woman must be very happy.

She looks very sensible, knowledgeable and educated.

It's about 30 years old.

Hmph, Gu Tianbai.

After everyone had finished eating, Gu Yu quietly left the dining table and went to the balcony.

The view here is wide and the wind is cold.Pedestrians were scattered on the road in twos and threes.

They hurried home, which light in the building was lit for them?

The man with the briefcase is holding the cake, probably preparing to spend his first New Years with his wife.

The old lady was hobbling, with a cane, and she had a happy face, and she was accompanied by a young man.

think……

Want to have a cigarette.

What does it feel like to smoke?

Gu Yu reached into his coat pocket, took out his phone, turned on the screen, and found "Goji Berry" in the contact list.

He hesitated for a moment, his fingertips paused on the string of numbers, after all, he didn't press down, turned off the screen and put it in his pocket.

As soon as the phone rolled into his pocket, it rang like an explosion.

Gu Yu immediately grabbed it out, and when he saw the caller ID, his mood suddenly rose, and he flew into the night sky and turned into circling stars.

"Hello?" Jian Qiao's voice came.

"Hmm." Gu Yu responded.

"...What are you doing?" Jian Qiao asked.

"Nothing, the wind is blowing on the balcony," Gu Yu said, "Have you eaten the New Year's Eve dinner?"

"Well, I just finished eating." Jian Qiao replied.

"Did you watch the Spring Festival Gala?" Gu Yu asked again.

"I'm watching. I don't quite understand folk dances," Jian Qiao said, "Why aren't you with us?"

"They're making a fuss, I'm going out to relax." Gu Yu replied.

Jian Qiao was nestling on the sofa with a pillow in his arms, his father was chatting noisily with his grandparents, and his mother was clearing the table.He was the only one who watched the Spring Festival Gala on TV, and the rest of them glanced at it occasionally and said something.

It's good, it's fun.

Holding the phone, he lowered his voice: "Tired?"

Gu Yu didn't answer, and looked at the majestic villa outside the balcony and exhaled, which condensed into white mist in the air.

"Ask you." Jian Qiao said.

Gu Yu leaned on the railing and replied softly, "Yes."

"Go to bed early when you're tired," Jian Qiao said, "Don't wait until the countdown to the Spring Festival Gala, send me a happy new year on time."

Gu Yu laughed: "Get lost."

"Send New Year greetings to Master for me." Jian Qiao said.

Gu Yu: "Okay."

"Happy New Year." Jian Qiao said.

"For him?" Gu Yu asked.

"For you," Jian Qiao said, "Gu Xiaobao."

"Happy New Year," Gu Yu smiled, "Jian Qiaoqiao."

Gu Yu looked at the empty night sky in front of him, and his heart was filled with a warm smile.

"If only there were fireworks," he sighed.

"I'm setting off fireworks here," Jian Qiao said, "I'll let you hear it."

"Is there no control over there?" Gu Yu asked.

"Small city," Jian Qiao smiled and shook his legs, "it's not your father's villa area."

Gu Yu also smiled: "I can't hear anything."

"Chirp—bang!" Jian Qiao said in a low voice, "Chirp—bang bang—"

Gu Yu couldn't help but burst out laughing, "You're sick!"

"You're the only one who is sick." Jian Qiao leaned his head back on the sofa, smirking, "I like you."

Fireworks were set off outside the house.

Red, orange, purple, green, blue.

Light up the whole sky, colorful.

It's so beautiful.

"Huh?" Gu Yu said, "This time I heard the truth. Chirp—bang bang—!!"

Jian Qiao smiled: "Come inside, the balcony is cold."

"Understood." Gu Yu took a deep breath into the palm of his hand, and the sound of fireworks sounded from Jianqiao's side again, from the phone, chirp chirp bang bang bang.

"Me too," he said.

Gu Yu hung up the phone, turned around and saw a figure standing at the balcony door.

He was so frightened that he yelled and almost threw the phone out.

"Uncle, what are you doing hiding here?" asked the little nephew, a distant relative who didn't have a name.

Gu Yu didn't bother to talk to him, and was about to walk into the living room.

"How about falling in love?" the distant nephew asked again.

"Let's go and play." Gu Yu avoided him.

"Chirp—bang~" the distant little nephew leaned against the glass door and said awkwardly, "I'm sorry, it's a boring gun."

"You!" Gu Yu immediately turned back and pointed at him, "What's your name?"

"My name is Guan Xiaoli, Uncle Bao~" Yuanfang Guan Xiaoli said.

Gu Yu gritted his teeth: "Shut up."

"Okay, Uncle Bao~" Guan Xiaoli said, "Is Uncle Bao's treasure the treasure of the Lotus Lantern?"

"Rolling." Gu Yu strode into the living room.

As soon as he entered the house, he saw the big guys sitting in the house watching the Spring Festival Gala. The whole family was happy and everything was going well. It really looked like a good scene.

The son of Tian's family is Lele whom he met last time, and the son of Gu's family is a pair of twins, Liangliang and Douduo, who are similar to Lele.

Hmph, Lele, Liangliang, Duoduo, they are all so vigorous.

Just his name is Gu Yu, depressed Yu, depressed Yu, depressed Yu all day long.

God is not fair!

Gu Yu hammered the sofa with his fist.

Lele, who was biting the jelly, was frightened by the sudden punch, and the jelly rolled around in his hand like a hot potato, and finally fell to the ground.

Gu Yu glanced at it.

Lele picked it up silently, and looked at his expression quietly.

"Can it be torn apart?" Gu Yu asked.

Lele shook her head.

Gu Yu stretched out his hand in front of him.Lele put the jelly into his palm.

"Huh—it's all drool." Gu Yu tore a piece of paper in disgust to wipe it clean, pulled the cracks in the wrapping paper and miraculously tore it open, the juice inside exploded everywhere and splashed onto his hands.

Gu Yu gave the jelly to Lele, raised his hand and licked the juice.

"Thank you brother." Lele said.

What does it taste like?It was delicious.Gu Yu reached out and rummaged through the pile of snacks, looking for a jelly.

"Brother, I'm sorry." Lele said again.

Gu Yu's hand movements paused, and he looked back at him.

"Mom said it was my nonsense last time that made you unhappy." Lele said.

Gu Yu turned his head back, still looking for the snacks, and responded lightly: "...Oh."

Lele took out a jelly from his pocket and handed it to him with his small hand.

Gu Yu withdrew his hands and sat down, reached out and picked up the jelly: "Thank you."

He was about to tear off the wrapping paper when he saw durian flavor written on it.

...Who wants to eat durian-flavored jelly! !

Gu Yu returned the jelly to him, cleared his throat, and asked a little embarrassedly, "...are there any other flavors?"

"I only have this one," Lele replied, stretching out the half-sucked jelly, "I'll give you mine."

"Hey, I can't help it," Gu Yu thought who wanted your thing, and pushed his hand back, "Didn't I have a big bag when I came?"

"It was taken away by Liangliang and Dodo," Lele said, "I managed to snatch two of them."

Outrageous!

hegemonism!There is no kingly law in the world!

I don't care if Lele eats it or not, but I, Gu Xiaobao, want to eat it now!

Gu Yu's face turned cold immediately, and he snapped his fingers at Liangliang who was running around in the room.

Liangliang saw that he was not easy to provoke, and then ran around for a while, making the last struggle, and came over in a desperate way after a while.

"Give me some jelly." Gu Yu spread his hands.

"There's still some in the basket." Liangliang said.

Gu Yu: "There's a fart, give me some quickly."

Liangliang reluctantly took out one and put it in his hand.

"One?" Gu Yu was shocked, "Your father bought all the delicacies from mountains and seas to treat me, and you gave me a jelly??"

Liangliang pouted, and took out another one.

Gu Yu threw the jelly to Lele, and continued to spread his hands: "Durian flavor doesn't count."

"No more!" Liangliang shouted.

Gu Yu stretched out his hand to pat his clothes, and the jelly shells broke into his hands.

Liangliang was so exasperated that she tore open her pocket and poured it all out.

"Hey~ That's right—" Gu Yu satisfactorily picked out a mango-flavored one, and gave the rest to Lele.

Liangliang angrily complained to his mother.

If the complaint is useful, I, Gu Xiaobao, would not live today.Since living in Huazhoutang, all the children in the community have been subdued by Xiaobao's bully.

Gu Yu couldn't make it to the countdown to the Spring Festival Gala, he was too tired today, he felt that sitting on the sofa at this moment, his soul had already laid down.Old man Gu was still watching the show with his children and grandchildren with great interest, and it seemed that he would not be able to go back tonight.

"Xiaobao, go to rest when you are tired, the guest room has been cleaned up." Gu Tianbai said with a smile, his appearance was very approachable, but he was not used to it.

Seeing the situation, Tian Yunpei attacked: "Xiaobao, you can take Lele to sleep with you tonight. Lele is very obedient and doesn't make trouble at night."

Gu Qianfan felt that it didn't matter, so he beckoned him to rest.

Gu Yu stood up and glanced at Lele.Lele was biting the victorious durian jelly, looking at him innocently, with a harmless appearance.

How can you refuse so innocently? !

"...you brush your teeth twice later," Gu Yu said in a low voice, "Don't let me smell the durian."

Lele nodded like pounding garlic.

Gu Yu tidied up for a while and went upstairs to lie down.

He didn't turn off the bedside lamp immediately, but stared at the ceiling in a daze.

Isn't it empty to live in such a big house?

Back then, Gu Tianbai started from scratch and insisted on making a living on his own. When he got married, he didn't have any money, and he even rented the wedding room.

How poor their family was at that time, they had to plan carefully and save food and money for several days when they went out to eat at Haidilao.

At that time, his little scarves were all woven by Tian Yunpei, and even the sweaters were made by himself. It didn't look like Lele was wearing a famous brand.

But at that time, they were squeezed into a small bed for countless late nights, how happy the family of three was.

Time.

time...

The phone rang suddenly.

Gu Yu picked it up and saw that Jian Qiao sent him a message.

-11:17 p.m.-

Chensha and Guohui: Still watching the Spring Festival Gala?

Mei Niang and Lai Fu: I lay flat.

Chensha and Guohui: [Fat Pig Expression Pack]

Guan Xiaoli suddenly opened the door and walked in. Gu Yu glanced at him, bowed his head and continued to reply.

Mei Niang and Lai Fu: [Teletubbies Hug Emoji Package]

"What about dating?" Guan Xiaoli glanced at his phone screen curiously.

Gu Yu immediately covered the phone on the quilt vigilantly.

"It's boring, let's talk about it. I started talking when I was eight years old." Guan Xiaoli lifted the quilt and got in, opened the game, "Hurry up and reply to your message, girls are the most difficult to coax."

Gu Yu put down the phone in embarrassment: "You sleep here?"

"Your great father let me sleep on the sofa," Guan Xiaoli snorted, "Why, such a big house doesn't buy a big bed."

Gu Yu smiled: "He can be extravagant and high-end."

"Is she pretty?" Guan Xiaoli asked casually.

Gu Yu wiped his face: "I turned off the light."

"Don't you stay up until twelve o'clock to tell her Happy New Year? Girls are very troublesome, and they will kill you." Guan Xiaoli asked again.

"Go to bed early when you're tired," Jian Qiao said, "Don't wait until the countdown to the Spring Festival Gala, send me a happy new year on time."

Thinking of Jian Qiao's words, Gu Yu suddenly felt that the unreliable little nephew was not completely unreliable.He withdrew his hand, leaving the bedside lamp still on.

Why can't you wish him a happy new year on time and on time?

Guan Xiaoli asked casually while playing the game: "Is your girlfriend in good shape? The kind with bulge and back."

Gu Yu covered his eyes.

"Say it." Guan Xiaoli nudged him with her elbow.

"Not good." Gu Yu replied.

"You're pretty good-looking, and it's hard to find in our place. You must be a super hot girl, right?" Guan Xiaoli asked.

"Can you shut up?" Gu Yu said helplessly.

As soon as Guan Xiaoli finished playing the game, she suddenly put down her phone, moved closer and looked at him.

The atmosphere was suddenly tense, and Gu Yu blocked his face: "Get lost."

Guan Xiaoli didn't speak, but looked at him silently, with a somewhat searching look in her eyes.

"Boyfriend?" he asked.

Gu Yu's heart tightened, and he pulled up the quilt to cover his face, without saying a word.

Guan Xiaoli leaned back leisurely, picked up the phone and played a game, and said naturally: "You told me about my boyfriend earlier, so I'll have to guess."

Boy friend?

...Jane Bridge?

He and Jian Qiao...

Gu Yu was really sleepy, so sleepy that he had the urge to set an alarm clock at 59:[-], but when he thought that the shameless Guan Xiaoli might laugh at him, he dismissed the idea.

He lay on the bed and looked at his mobile phone, trying to relieve a little drowsiness, but it didn't help, his eyelids were clenched.

Gu Yu opened Weibo and posted a post.

-23:31 p.m.-

Huazhoutang: Happy New Year everyone, I wish you happiness in the sound of fireworks.

One fan quickly liked the reply.

Under the bridge in front of the door: You too.

This account is very strange, as if I have never seen it before.

Maybe it's a new fan.

Looking at this nickname, he must be a fan of the famous divine comedy "Counting Ducks" like Jian Qiao...

Jane Bridge...

Sleepy.

tired……

Why do people stay awake?

Gu Yu struggled for a while between not falling asleep and just squinting for a while, and then finally lost consciousness.

Guan Xiaoli turned off the game, threw the phone aside, and turned to look at her sleeping uncle.

He looked up at his watch.

Eleven forty-three.
