embrace the moon

Seven years ago, they were teenagers.

-

The long hair flowing like a waterfall hangs down to the waist, the white and smooth skin is better than the cream, the high heels knock on the ground, and the footsteps under the skirt are supported by the breeze.

She is fragrant and fragrant, and her smile is springlike, like a snow-white gardenia that refreshes the heart in May.

Layers of light gauze are soft and graceful, and the white moonlight is spread on the ground, and thousands of gardenias bloom.

The winking eyes are followed by shame, and the red lips are divided into smiles.Through the thin gauze curtain, she called him softly: "Xiao Xu, come."

Chen Fangxu, who was waiting silently at the other end, turned around, saw her wearing a wedding dress, stared blankly, and walked over in a daze.He lifted his veil, kissed her, his lips and teeth lingered for a moment, she held his face and smiled, "Does it look good?"

Of course it is very beautiful, Chen Fangxu nodded, Yang Jiaqing gently stroked his lips with her thumb, and said with a smile: "Sure enough, boys should buy lipstick."

Hearing this, Chen Fangxu blushed a little, and wiped his mouth with the back of his hand. "I shouldn't have come here in short-sleeved shorts today. The good sense of ritual has been destroyed."

When the summer vacation comes, Yang Jiaqing has graduated, and Chen Fangxu is about to study abroad for a year.Before parting, it happened that Yang Jiaqing's friend was about to get married, so she came to help choose the bridesmaid's dress, and secretly brought her boyfriend to try on the wedding dress.

"If Yueyue sees it, she will be very happy." Yang Jiaqing said.

"Shall we get engaged?" Chen Fangxu said suddenly.

Yang Jiaqing laughed, and replied, "How can you rush this kind of thing? We'll wait until you come back next year. It's best to wait until after you graduate."

"It's fine if you book in private," Chen Fangxu shrugged, "Anyway, in my heart, you are already married to me."

At this moment, on the other side of the city, a man and a woman were chatting in a coffee shop, holding hands when they talked about getting up.

"That's enough," Yi Xianghan stood by the side of the street, counting the painting materials in his pocket, "I'm so thirsty."

"There's a coffee shop over there," Xu Shuilan said, carrying big bags and small bags, "Senior Sister, let's go and have a rest."

Yi Xianghan agreed, suddenly became interested, and began to give instructions as usual. "Stop carrying it, you!" Yi Xianghan pointed to another person beside him, "It's your turn, brother."

Zhao Mishan took the things angrily, "You're the only one who has a lot to do."

A generation of empresses ignored it, and crossed the Yalu River in high spirits still. Unexpectedly, as soon as they walked to the coffee shop, the person staring at the glass window suddenly stopped.

"Senior Sister, what's the matter?" Xu Shuilan put her hand on her forehead, blocking the sunlight, following her gaze, it was a couple chatting.

Yi Xianghan remained silent, pushed his hand away, and strode into the cafe in a hurry. When passing by the bar, he took a cup of mocha from the boss's hand, and poured it directly on the head of the man who was still affectionate just now.

When Xu Shuilan and Zhao Mishan followed, they happened to see this scene.Xu Shuilan gasped and rushed over.

"Who the hell is holding hands?!" Yi Xianghan yelled and poured two cups of coffee on the table on him, "Old Zheng, you have a guts!"

Xu Shuilan immediately pulled her back, "Senior sister, senior sister, don't get excited."

"Who are you? You have no quality." The woman on the side spoke.

"You want two drinks too?" Yi Xianghan gave her a menacing look.

"Aren't you painting?" The man wiped the coffee all over his face, "Hanhan, listen to me..."

Yi Xianghan slapped him, "Okay, I'll let you make it up."

The customers around were all curious to see what happened here, it probably looked like the bloody drama of a cheating man.In an instant, loud heavy metal rock music suddenly sounded in the originally very elegant and quiet cafe.

Very good, it just ignited a monstrous fire in the heart of a generation of empresses, and Yi Xianghan rolled up his sleeves without saying a word.Xiao Xiao, who was robbed of coffee just now, came out from the bar, put on his apron clumsily while walking, pulled her behind with a smile on his face, and put away the cups and saucers on the table.

"We have a [-]% discount for quarrels in the store, you have to talk back, brother," Xiao Xiao winked at Lao Zheng, "But the sofa is dirty, you have to pay for it."

Yi Xianghan pushed him away and rushed forward and shouted: "Old Zheng, someday, my mother will treat you wholeheartedly, and you love me so much? Why are you pretending to be affectionate with me here?"

Seeing that he had used all kinds of punches and kicks, Zhao Mishan threw the things in his hands, hugged her and pulled her out, until he walked out of the cafe, he let go of his hands and threw them on the ground.

Yi Xianghan himself was also stained with coffee, but his beautiful curly hair was in a mess at the moment, his light long dress was covered with dust, and he was still immersed in anger and could not calm down.

Seeing this, Xu Shuilan came out to put down her things, and carefully helped her up, "Senior Sister, let's go back."

The cold wind was blowing outside the car window, making his long hair even more messy. Yi Xianghan was lying on the car window with tear stains all over his face.Zhao Mishan stretched out his hand and pulled her hard, Yi Xianghan leaned over and cried on his shoulder.

"Ah—" Zhao Mishan also howled in despair, "Shout me deaf, please..."

Xu Shuilan silently took out the paper and gently wiped her face clean.Yi Xianghan yelled in tears: "Lanlan, go buy some wine!!"

"...Sister, don't be sad, he is not worthy of you, there will be someone who loves you more than him." Xu Shuilan comforted.

"You're talking bullshit! My old lady can't listen to a word..." Yi Xianghan was still crying heartbreakingly, and ordered vaguely, "It's cold, close the window..."

Zhao Mishan had no choice but to get out his hands and close the car window with great difficulty. Xu Shuilan continued to comfort her a few words, and had to give up after finding out that she really couldn't get in the oil and salt. Putonghua, also kindly persuaded a few words, but was forced to surrender in the end.

At the gate of the community, Yi Xianghan was sitting on the flower terrace with no strength, Xu Shuilan carefully arranged her hair, squatted in front of her and said softly: "Senior sister, let's go back."

Yi Xianghan hung his head and said nothing.

"Hurry up." Zhao Mishan said standing aside.

"What are you urging!" The fuse was lit, and she went crazy again, kicking him, "My old lady's famous name..."

Zhao Mishan was too lazy to quarrel with her, so he walked forward without saying a word, picked her up in his arms, and walked quickly to the painting boat hall.As soon as he entered the main hall, he quickly let go of her and threw her on the sofa, panting and poured himself a glass of water, and murmured: "I'm dying, I'm dying..."

Yi Xianghan lay on his back on the sofa and wept weakly, kicking off his high heels twice.Gu Yu came forward very curiously, tilted his head to look at her: "What's the matter?"

Yi Xianghan raised his leg and kicked on his chest, crying, "Let's go and play..."

"Strong man, the skirt you're wearing." Gu Yu took a step back, turned around and went into the room to find a short sleeve for her. Yi Xianghan's eyes were swollen like a monkey's butt after taking a shower, and Gu Yu trembled in fright.

Jian Qiao didn't know what to say, so she went into the bathroom to wash her long dress.He didn't know if the girl's skirt could be wrung out vigorously, so he had to gently wring out the water and hang it in the yard.The warm sun is shining, the summer wind is blowing, the gauze skirt is fluttering and dancing, with small drops of water dripping from the edge, the two dogs reach out their paws to catch the skirt that is shaking around in the wind, but they can't reach it when they stand up.

In order to make Yi Xianghan feel better, everyone took her out to eat hot pot, which was so spicy that everyone's mouths turned red, like a dripping pomegranate.There was a lot of fuss and it didn't subside until she was sent away in the evening, and the young couple started their daily life with crooked stairs.

"Xiaobao, kiss me." Jian Qiao pouted.

Gu Yu leaned closer to touch the water.Jian Qiao rubbed his head and said casually, "Can I see your things in the room?"

"My whole body is yours, what are you talking about?" Gu Yu waved his hand, "I'll show you all."

Jian Qiao nodded, raised his wrist and looked at his watch, "You should go back to your room to study, what have you been reading recently?"

Hearing this, Gu Yu didn't answer immediately, he hesitated for a moment before opening his mouth coyly: "Love... Love Poetry Collection..."

Jian Qiao squinted, "What?"

How could he let Jian Qiao know that he had made up a dozen books of sour literature in order to say a few flirty love stories?In a flash of thought, Gu Yu shouted honestly: "I'm reading a guide to human emotion communication!"

I thought that Jian Qiao would grab this question and ask endlessly, but he just nodded, absent-minded, "Well, you go. I'm going back to my room."

The two went back to their respective rooms until night. After reading the book, Gu Yu quietly went upstairs, opened the door softly, and saw Jian Qiao sitting alone on the ground, holding his knees in a daze.

Hearing the sound, Jian Qiao turned his head. Gu Yu didn't know why, so he caught sight of several wooden boxes opened in front of Jian Qiao, and his expression suddenly became gloomy.

His fingers clenched the doorknob so tightly that his fingertips turned white, his veins protruded, and he said softly, "Who told you to open it?"

After asking this question, he suddenly remembered that when Jian Qiao asked him on the stairs before, he even forgot to ask what Jian Qiao wanted to see.Thinking about it again, what Jian Qiao asked was not "the things in your room", but "your things in the room". He should have thought that Jian Qiao was referring to the wooden boxes in the attic that had been hiding in the corners.

Seeing that he didn't answer, Gu Yu went straight over, closed the wooden box, picked him up and walked downstairs, but Jian Qiao didn't give him a chance, and grabbed his wrist firmly, "Gu Yu!"

As soon as he let go of his hand, the box fell down, and the contents inside were scattered all over the floor.

Half a pencil, a toy with only one head left, a lock of short hair tied with red thread, a torn school uniform, trousers with a big slit, and countless torn homework books and glued textbooks , and a report card with all kinds of unbearable and insulting pictures.

Although on every report card, the little boy named "Gu Yu" is far ahead.

Gu Yu immediately shook off his hand, "I agree with you to look at my things, but I didn't say that it doesn't matter to me. Now that you look at it, I'm angry, isn't it too much?!"

Jian Qiao immediately got up and wanted to grab him, but Gu Yu still struggled desperately, and the strong resentment was added between you pushing and shoving.

When Gu Yu finally broke free and escaped, when he opened the curtain, he bumped into Guan Xiaoli who was standing at the stairs.

Guan Xiaoli brushed her teeth leisurely, and asked casually, "Noisy again?"

Gu Yu had nothing to say, and Guan Xiaoli blocked every step he took.Xiao Li asked, "Help you get justice?"

"No need." Gu Yu said coldly, pushed him away and walked out.

Guan Xiaoli pushed him back, and Gu Yu had no intention of messing around with him.But Guan Xiaoli drove him back upstairs, suddenly kicked him to the middle of the room, and gave Jian Qiao a five-body bow.

The door was closed suddenly, Guan Xiaoli lifted the doorknob by the way, then walked to the next balcony, sat on a chair, brushed her teeth silently while looking at the stars.

"Damn..." Gu Yu cursed in a low voice, stood up clapping his palms, turned around to open the door, failed two or three times, and was unexpectedly locked.

"Guan Xiaoli, you heartless! You are disobedient!" Gu Yu yelled at the door.

No one answered him, but Jian Qiao said, "How long?"

Gu Yu remained silent and did not move.The two were silent for a while, and Jian Qiao asked again: "How long have you been bullied on campus?"

Originally, Jian Qiao didn't want to ask this question, and he could have read those boxes and pretended nothing happened without knowing about it.But he doesn't want to do that, he wants to know everything about Gu Yu.

Gu Yu didn't answer, Jian Qiao just waited until he spoke, he would always speak anyway.

Time ticked away, Gu Yu picked up the scattered things and put them back into boxes, saying, "Until I learn how to fight back."

When I was young, the reason for bullying a person was so simple, because he studied well, had a good temper, and didn't fit in with others... All kinds of reasons can be the reason for being bullied.

Gu Yu started to fight back when his grandma was seriously ill and left.At that time, he gradually grew taller than his peers, and a subtle cruelty appeared on his usually silent face on campus.

He never took the initiative to bully others, but if others bullied him, no one could get any advantage from him.

That's how the title of the little devil of the Gu family came about.

Gu Yu stood up, took the last wooden box from the locker on tiptoe, and put it in front of Jian Qiao.

"I sorted out this box after grandma left." Gu Yu said as he opened the wooden box in front of him. Inside were a pile of old wound medicine bottles, including disinfectant alcohol, iodine, cotton balls, and wound glue. agent...

He left these things not because he wanted to remember anything deliberately, but he just didn't want to forget, no matter what he remembered in those lessons again and again.

"From the first time I fought back, I knew that I had to pay the price for my choice," Gu Yu continued, as his white fingers lightly slid across the wooden box, and his fingertips were stained with a layer of dust. Trouble, I would rather choose trouble than bullying."

Jian Qiao gently held his hand, and Gu Yu also slowly held him, "It was only then that I realized that there are things in this world that I want to protect even if my head is bleeding."

That night, they huddled together on the narrow and soft bed in the attic, embraced each other like never before, and fell asleep soundly.

Jian Qiao buried her face in his shoulder and hugged Gu Yu's arm tightly.If only I could meet you before you grow taller, Jian Qiao thought to himself.Everyone can't bear to be lonely, but fortunately, in the end, we all chose sunshine.At the moment when the warm sun is shining, we just met again.

"Guan Xiaoli, you bastard who doesn't know the dignity of the old and the young!" Gu Yu was standing by the window early in the morning, "Hurry up and open the door for me!! It's been all night! I want to go to the bathroom! Go to the bathroom!!"

"I locked the door for a very good reason." Guan Xiaoli slid a suitcase into the middle of the courtyard, raised her head and said to him, "You two will frighten the children if you two quarrel and fight coldly. I'm still young, so I can't see it."

"You! You little fart!!" Gu Yu yelled, "If you don't come here, I'll pee here!! I...I'll slap you in the face!!"

Guan Xiaoli clicked her tongue in disgust, "Hey, that's disgusting." He took out a bunch of keys from his pocket and threw them at the upstairs window.Gu Yu caught it quickly, and was about to go downstairs to settle accounts with him, when he suddenly heard him say, "I'm leaving."

Gu Yu was taken aback, "Where are you going?"

"Where else can we go?" Guan Xiaoli looked at him amusedly, "Do I think you two will be bored forever?"

Jian Qiao also walked to the window, and leaned over to look at him side by side with Gu Yu.

"Are you going back?" Gu Yu suddenly lost, "I'll see you off."

"No need," Guan Xiaoli said, "Didn't you not welcome me when you came?"

Guan Xiaoli looked at the two of them, and it really looked like a good match. He smiled and looked at Jian Qiao, "Hey, don't bully him." Then he waved his hand and pulled the suitcase out of the courtyard.

Gu Yu didn't know why he chose such a deserted day to leave. The old man was not there, and he locked the two of them upstairs, and even the two dogs were fighting next door.

He walked away quietly as if he had never been here before, without even saying goodbye.Gu Yu watched his back gradually go away and disappear, suddenly feeling a little dazed.

The world returned to its former tranquility.Under the silence, there are countless shouts hidden.
