embrace the moon

The lights in the corridor were not turned on, and Jian Qiao walked down the stairs one by one alone, his footsteps were so light that he could hardly hear the sound.

He held the handrail, leaned against the railing and sat down on the steps, recalling the plain dialogue between the two over and over again in his mind.

"Senior, do you really mind if I draw this?" Jian Qiao asked again, "Sorry, I don't want to..."

"No need to be sorry," Old Chen smiled, and gently put down the paintbrush that was wet with water, and Shengxuan was stained a little wet, "Maybe you will forget things faster if you tell them. What do you think?"

Jian Qiao was silent and didn't answer, he nodded after a long time: "Maybe."

Talking with Lao Chen is not an easy task, although every time he sees the painter he has admired for a long time, he will feel excited, and every time he talks with him, he will be taught.But when they had to talk about some topics other than the painting itself, when talking about those old Chen's usually inhumane words, he always felt heavy, depressing and palpitating, even though Lao Chen was always calm and gentle.

Jian Qiao got up, went downstairs slowly, walked out of the unit building, and before he got close, he saw a figure sitting on a bench by the door, with slender legs, kicking the ground casually, with his arms bent back and supported On the back of the chair, you don't have to look carefully to know who it is.

When he got closer, he saw that Gu Yu was wearing earphones, staring at the ground in a daze.Jian Qiao stretched out his hand and pressed the pause button of the earphone, Gu Yu raised his head and tilted his head to look at him.

"Why are you here?" Jian Qiao asked.

Gu Yu pulled off the earphones and hung them around his neck: "Pick you up."

Jian Qiao: "I'm not a child."

"An adult who won't get lost needs someone to pick him up," Gu Yu replied, "Let's go."

Jian Qiao nodded, and the two walked side by side in the community, Gu Yu lowered his head and kicked a small stone on the road.Many times, Jian Qiao feels that there is no need for words between the two of them, they understand each other, tacit understanding, as if as long as silence can last forever.

The setting sun exudes soft Qinghui, lying lazily at the end of the road, shining warmly.In the air is the smell of food from various kitchens, wrapped in the laughter of children who are still playing on the road.

On the bus, they always like to sit in the last two rows, sit side by side, share a pair of headphones, listen to your playlist and mine, listen to light music, folk songs, rock, and classical music.On the way home, I would pass by a large supermarket, and sometimes I would go in to buy some fruits and vegetables, as well as endlessly buy soft drinks.

"Three bottles are enough." Jian Qiao said.

Gu Yu retorted him: "Not enough, I have to drink it the day after tomorrow."

Jian Qiao clicked his tongue and put all the soda in his hand back on the shelf: "Didn't you promise to drink a bottle for two days?"

"Then you promised me to memorize 50 words every day, didn't you finish memorizing yesterday?" Gu Yu put the soda into the shopping cart again, "Look at you smacked me 80 yesterday, I was all right."

"You are better than me, you should memorize 80," Jian Qiao took out the soda again, "Three bottles are enough."

"Then I took three big bottles, isn't that also three bottles?" Gu Yu raised his eyebrows and asked tentatively.

Jian Qiao raised his finger at him.

Gu Yu sighed softly, and had no choice but to put all the soda back in desperation.There was still some distance to go back to the painting boat hall, Gu Yu walked behind with a big bag of things, Jian Qiao turned around and waited for him.

"My phone is ringing." Gu Yu turned sideways, and Jian Qiao reached out and took out the phone from his jacket pocket to take a look.

"Guan Xiaoli asked when you will come back." Jian Qiao looked at the note on his phone, frowned, and changed "Xiaoli" to "Guan Xiaoli".

Before Jian Qiao put the phone back into his pocket, several messages bombarded him one after another.

"Hurry up ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah"

"tsk tsk"

"Come back come back come back come back"

Jian Qiao opened the dialog angrily, and sent a very impatient voice: "I'll be back in a while. Shut up."

Gu Yu raised his eyes to look at him, with playfulness: "Yo, yo, yo."

Jian Qiao frowned, put the mobile phone back into his pocket, and quietly grabbed his stomach in his pocket: "Gu Xiaobao, are you going to chatter?"

Gu Yu laughed twice, and the two walked to the painting boat hall. Before they opened the door, they heard the sound of children playing, one after another, making people feel uneasy.

As soon as the door was opened, there were indeed a few children running around in the yard, chasing each other and fighting over a kettle.Guan Xiaoli stood at the entrance of the main hall with her arms folded in a trance, watching the children playing with cold eyes.

Gu Yu was tired, put things on the table, and asked, "What's going on?"

"Ask your parents, how do I know." Guan Xiaoli replied abruptly.

Gu Yu only felt that his head was getting big: "Where's grandpa?"

Guan Xiaoli: "Grandpa can't save you even if he comes."

Gu Yu sighed, and patted Jian Qiao's shoulder: "Go and paint first, and I'll call you after dinner."

Jian Qiao nodded and went upstairs, Gu Yu followed him all the way to the attic door.Jian Qiao stood still at the door, turned around and looked at him: "Do you want to breastfeed?"

"Get out," Gu Yu pushed him, suddenly pushed him against the wall, and asked a strange question, "Am I handsome today?"

"Handsome," Jian Qiao smiled, and pulled his face, "He's handsome today."

Gu Yu was not very satisfied with this evaluation, curled his lips.Bury your head on his shoulder.

Jian Qiao also leaned on his head and patted him on the back: "Today is also very handsome, as handsome as ever."

"That's right," Gu Yu was satisfied, "Who looks better, Leng Qing or me?"

Jian Qiao clicked his tongue: "Is it over?"

"Enough, old love and new love," Gu Yu asked again, "Who is more beautiful?"

"You are the prettiest, second only to me," Jian Qiao thought for a while, "Lonely is not an old love, it's just our good friend, if you mention him again, I will take revenge."

"Oh? I'm a little scared," Gu Yu rubbed his head against his neck, his hands got into his coat and shirt dishonestly, stroking his back with his fingertips, and he could feel his hot skin in his palm Body temperature, "How to retaliate?"

Jian Qiao: "Hand."

"Oh," Gu Yu had no choice but to give up, and retracted his hand, "How to get revenge?"

"I haven't made up my mind yet," Jian Qiao cupped his face and kissed him, "I'm going to paint."

Gu Yu kicked him: "Okay, you are a heartless man who knows how to do his own thing, and he will do his own thing without saying a few words."

Jian Qiao raised his eyebrows: "Then what shall I do to you?"

Gu Yu stared at him with wide eyes.

"What about...?" Jian Qiao added.

Gu Yu breathed a sigh of relief, turned around and went downstairs: "Jian Qiaoqiao, you shameless old rascal, don't tarnish my iceberg snow lotus."

Guan Xiaoli was still waiting at the entrance of the main hall with a tired and bored face. When she saw him coming, she asked listlessly, "Did you walk the Great Wall? It took so long?"

Gu Yu didn't bother to pay attention to him: "You take a good look at Ranran Lele Liangliang and Douduo, I'm going to cook."

Guan Xiaoli was confused: "Who?"

Gu Yu walked into the kitchen and started working. Before he could work for a while, the kitchen door was opened, and a small head poked out from the crack of the door, and then walked in quietly.

The little guy stood on tiptoe and looked at the table quietly, but he didn't see anything.Gu Yu felt that someone was pulling the corner of his clothes, so he stopped the kitchen knife in his hand, lowered his head, and saw a pair of big watery eyes.

He put down the knife, knelt down and asked, "Lele, what's the matter?"

Lele: "Brother, I'm hungry."

Gu Yu thought for a while, then pointed to the side: "There are ham sausages over there."

Lele raised her head, not daring to make a sound, so she walked under the cabinet silently, raised her head and tried to reach up with her feet and arms, but she still couldn't reach it, so she tried hard and had to give up.Turning around and walking to Gu Yu's side, he opened his hands towards him: "Brother, I can't get it."

Gu Yu grabbed his slender arm and pressed it down, turned around and took two ham sausages from the cabinet: "Take it, I won't hug you, the little girl is pretty much the same."

Lele happily jumped out of the door with the ham Pidianpidian. Gu Yu continued to cook and fried a few dishes. The rice was almost ready to be steamed. He cooked the soup and opened the door to order the rice.As soon as I poked my head out, I saw the children writhing together, all shouting and shouting. With a loud growl, they rushed forward, knocking Lele to the ground, and Lele fell directly from the steps. , rolled several times before stopping, and reacted after a brief pause, and burst into a sharp and trembling cry.

Gu Yu immediately threw the spoon and rushed over, grabbing Ranran who wanted to avenge Lele: "Don't beat me! Ranran is good, go find Dad first."

Only then did Guan Xiaoli raise her head, stood up from the sofa and walked over unhurriedly. When she got closer, she saw Lele was covered in ashes from the fall, with snot and tears running down her face.

"Xiaoli, send Ranran back," Gu Yu picked up Lele, hugged him and put it on his lap. Lele cried loudly and lay on his shoulders, wrapping his gray arms around his neck , Gu Yu patted him on the back lightly, and pointed to the remaining two children, so angry that he almost forgot their names, and pointed for a while before he remembered, "Duoduo, go wash your hands; you, Stand against the wall and don't move."

Liangliang refused to accept: "Why!"

"Shut up." Gu Yu walked into the room with Lele in his arms, and gently patted off the dust on his body, his small palm was scraped by the ground, blood oozing out.He had no choice but to hold Lele to clean the wound. When the little palm was washed under the cold water, the child cried more and more.

"Okay, okay," Gu Yu put him on the edge of the bed, holding his face, "A man must be strong, okay?"

Lele shook her head and nodded with difficulty.

"I'm sorry, my brother didn't take good care of you," Gu Yu said again, "Stop crying, stop crying. We're hungry and we need to eat."

Lele sobbed and nodded.

Gu Yu rubbed his little arms and legs: "Does it still hurt?"

When Lele heard this greeting, she couldn't help crying again, raised her hand towards him, Gu Yu had no choice but to go up to him, hugged him in her arms, and patted him on the back lightly. .

"Brother, will I, I, die?" Lele asked sobbingly.

Gu Yu raised his eyebrows: "...Huh?"

"I don't want to die!" Lele cried heart-rendingly on top of him, "I haven't played, played with remote-controlled horrors and dinosaurs!..."

Gu Yu was speechless now.Aside from the helplessness of crying for him and the ridicule of his innocence, I was a little shocked.

Crying so heartbreakingly, is it for the remote control of the little dinosaur? ? ?

It seems that the psychological shadow caused to him before is quite big.

"I didn't get the little red flower, and my mother wouldn't buy it for me..." Lele then lamented fate, "I want it so much, I want it, I'm going to die if I don't even touch it, I'm so miserable..."

Gu Yu sneered.

"So, you sleep with your brother tonight, and tomorrow I will give you a remote control little dinosaur, okay?" Gu Yu asked.

"It's not very good," Lele replied honestly, "I might die tonight."

Gu Yu sighed helplessly: "No, brother assures you. Let's go eat first, shall we?"

As soon as he walked out, he heard Liangliang complain and evade, and shouted aggressively: "Grandpa! Brother punished me to stand in a corner and told me to shut up!"

Gu Qianfan stroked his beard: "If you make a mistake, you will be punished. If brother doesn't punish you, others will. What does it have to do with brother?"

Liangliang was not very satisfied with this answer, and pushed him angrily: "I hate you to death!"

Gu Yu immediately walked over to help the old man: "Grandpa, I will show you a fancy singles."

"Hey, hey, don't scare the children, be reasonable," Gu Qianfan waved, "Eat."

Duoduo was afraid of things, and Guan Xiaoli probably felt a little guilty for not watching the children well, so she was also depressed and said nothing.Jian Qiao was originally full of inspiration, but was so noisy that his brain hurt and he didn't want to talk.At the dinner table, only a group of people were left to eat sullenly, and Liangliang and Gu Yugan stared.

Gu Yu clicked his tongue.Guan Xiaoli glanced up with her eyelids, took a spoonful of rice and fed it into Lele's mouth.

Lele ate in silence obediently, while Liangliang still stared at him disobediently, disobediently disobeying his parents and the emperor.

Gu Yu clicked his tongue again.

The old man slapped him on the back of the head: "It's delicious, what are you talking about?"

"I'm doing justice for myself," Gu Yu replied.

After the meal, Gu Qianfan gave Liangliang a serious lecture, and Gu Yu also spoke earnestly about whether he would die if he wrestled with Lele Kepu.

Early the next morning, Jian Qiao was woken up by some inexplicable voices, feeling like a roar like "Whoaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa atThere is a kind of energy to shake mountains and rivers and destroy the world.He turned over in dissatisfaction, covering his face with his hands.

Suddenly, it seemed that someone gently tugged on the quilt for him, but it was as light as a weak muscle, and it was basically useless.Then he covered his ears with his hands, and immediately after that, he heard a familiar voice.

"Whoaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!"

Jian Qiao frowned and opened his eyes.

A small figure was sitting next to him, his eyes were shining with excitement, staring at the edge of the bed not far away.

Jian Qiao followed his gaze and looked over.

A green and yellow Tyrannosaurus rex toy model was standing on the bed, with its mouth open, its front paws raised, its eyes glowing red.

Overlord Dragon: "Wow, ah ah ah ah !!!"

Lele: "Ha..."

Jian Qiao: "..."

He reached out from under the quilt, grabbed the Tyrannosaurus rex, and turned off the sound, so the roar of the Tyrannosaurus rex got stuck in "Whoah" and couldn't make a sound.

Lele withdrew his hand, silently took the dinosaur back and held it in his arms, and gave him a guilty look.

Jian Qiao patted the pillow: "I'm sitting on the pillow."

Lele slipped down and fell over without knowing her height and without touching the ground.

He quickly hugged the dinosaur and got up.

Jian Qiao wiped his face and looked at him calmly: "Speak."

Lele: "My name is Lele. I'm four and a half years old. It's called Xiaoba. It's a herbivorous dragon."

Jian Qiao raised his hand to cover his eyes: "Where is the herbivorous Tyrannosaurus rex?"

"It just eats grass because it's a good dragon." Lele explained weakly.

"Who asked you this," said Jian Qiao, "what are you doing here?"

"Brother told me to wait for you to wake up." Lele replied.

"He bought it for you?" Jian Qiao pointed to the dinosaur.

Lele nodded.

"Brother Qiaoqiao, let me tell you a secret." Lele said again.

"What?" Jian Qiao asked, and suddenly realized, "Who told you my name is Qiao Qiao?"

"My brother is playing with my beautiful sister," Lele said, "My brother said that children are not allowed to watch, so he let me come up."

Jian Qiao frowned.
