embrace the moon

In the hospital corridor, in the air mixed with the strong smell of disinfectant, there was a layer of silence that could not be said.

The nurse in white walked out of the ward, and the sound of small footsteps echoed softly around.Standing against the wall were two tall figures, and the attending doctor came not far away, talking softly with a middle-aged couple.

The pale light sprinkled on the ground, Gu Yu held the delicate gift box in his arms, squatted down slowly, staring at the lifeless floor.

A suppressed low sob came from the empty ward, Gu Yu's fingertips were tightly clutching the gift box, the fingertips were almost blue, the veins on the back of his hands were protruding, and he was trembling even with breathing.

"Let's go," Jian Qiao leaned over to wrap his arms around his waist, gently lifted him up, and repeated in a low voice, "Gu Yu, let's go."

Gu Yu didn't move until the doctor at the other end had turned around and left, and the two walked in front of the couple.The man's eyes were already bloodshot, his fists were clenched tightly, he was suppressing his anger, and his voice was hoarse, "I'll go and see the progress of the investigation."

The woman also looked at them in a daze, and said after a while: "You are Xiaoxu's friends, his side... please."

Hearing this, Jian Qiao nodded, and then led Gu Yu out of the hospital.As soon as he passed the gate, Gu Yu threw away the gift in his hand and threw it into the trash can, that exquisite and lovely classical doll with phoenix crown and xiapei.

After inspection, although the perpetrator attempted to force Yang Jiaqing, he caused multiple injuries to Yang Jiaqing's body, including craniocerebral trauma, resulting in sensorineural deafness.

A dancer who cannot hear music is like a painter who cannot hear colors.

The lost things leave without saying hello, and after a thousand calls, nothing can really come back.

"I've answered the phone, what do you mean? I'm so worried," the other end of the phone called out, "Please help me ask Jia Jia if something happened to her family, and she ignored me anyway."

Holding the phone, Gu Yu didn't know how to answer. After a long while, he said, "I asked, it's nothing. She's going to practice in closed mode recently, so don't disturb her."

Chen Fangxu was dubious, "Why doesn't she say hello to me?"

There was a lot of trouble on the other side and he wanted to come back now to check the situation. Gu Yu persuaded him for a long time before he was convinced, and he would stay at ease until the holiday before returning home.And on this matter, it is far from over.When Chen Fangxu came back, the Yang family refused to see him or contact him.

Later, Yang Jiaqing proposed to break up, ending their childhood sweetheart love.She wrote a letter, every word was earnest, but she didn't say that she loved him.

Gu Yu always blamed himself and felt guilty, thinking that it would be great if he could come back that day, and if he sent her to the door of his house like before, such a thing would definitely not happen.

But life has never left any kindness for anyone.

After being dismissed from the dance drama team due to deafness, Yang Jiaqing disappeared from everyone's sight. In their lives, they never heard about her again.

Only one person knew that Cai Zhe, who had been beaten up by Jian Qiao because of his unfaithful feelings towards her, did not study well, so he rode a bicycle across half of the city, and saw her at the gate of a special education school many days later.

At that time, Yang Jiaqing was already working hard to learn sign language and became a special education teacher, teaching deaf-mute children to dance.

She delayed trying to restore her hearing and refused to wear a hearing aid.Cai Zhe came to her early every day and typed a long text on his mobile phone for her to read.

What I like about my senior sister is that when she was just in college, she was a volunteer who took care of freshmen. When I saw her blushing smile under the scorching sun, I couldn't forget it.He doesn't need to ask her why she doesn't wear a hearing aid, and he never encourages her to do recovery training, he just obeys her every wish.

As for Chen Fangxu, looking at the letter that broke up with him every night, he was in a daze in class, in the library, and even when he was eating.Different from Cai Zhe, he never went to her.

It's not that he doesn't want to look for it, he hopes to be able to accompany her more than anyone else.It's just that he knows what she wants.What Cai Zhe lost to him was not time, but understanding.

One day, there were only the two of them in the dormitory.Chen Fangxu held the book in a daze as usual, but Cai Zhe suddenly took off his earphones and called him.

He didn't respond, so Cai Zhe called out a few more times, and when he called "Yang Jiaqing", he suddenly raised his head.

"I know where she is." Cai Zhe said.

He withdraws from this long period of unrequited love because he clearly perceives that, throughout, he has been an outsider.

Originally, Chen Fangxu thought that he could face all the news about her calmly, because he was still waiting for the time when they could meet.As she wrote in the letter, this defiled and no longer healthy girl was never what she hoped to be for him.

opportunity.

A time when they can reunite peacefully.

Even if it is one year, five years, ten years or 20 years, it is fine.

But when he heard Cai Zhe's words, his heart still trembled suddenly.As soon as he heard the address, he threw away the book in his hand and rushed out the door.

The afterglow of dusk made the whole world drowsy and ambiguous. He was dressed cleanly as usual, looked cute, and waited quietly at the school gate, as if nothing had happened.

The moment Yang Jiaqing saw him, her eyes were red, and she strode past him and walked in front.

And Chen Fangxu quietly followed behind her without saying a word.It was getting dark, and they didn't take a car for the long journey.In fact, Yang Jiaqing couldn't find the way, she was just walking blindly while crying.

The so-called "clean" or "unclean" in her mouth was never worth mentioning in his heart compared with her life.

He doesn't need to hug and kiss her, even if he doesn't say a word to her, as long as he follows her, that's fine.Just like sending her home countless nights from her teenage years to now, being with her is good.

Every evening when he followed her, how could he burst into tears without walking.

This year they are seniors, internships for internships, postgraduate entrance examinations for postgraduate entrance examinations.Everyone plants a small seed in their hearts that takes root and sprouts without anyone knowing.

After Tian Yunpei divorced, she took Lele alone. The two failed marriages made her physically and mentally exhausted, and she never fell in love with any man again.Since then, Lele, who has been free from violence, often comes to the painting boat hall to play, adding more smiles than ever.

"In the future, when my brother has money, he will also have a mouthful of food for you, a little guy." Because he was favored by the business team during the summer vacation of his junior year, Gu Yu went to various conferences as an interpreter and made a small fortune.Money is secondary, and there is still a big gap with formal translation. The most important thing is vision and experience.

Holding the children's illustrated edition of the Paleontology Encyclopedia and the special edition of dinosaurs bought by his upstart brother, Lele raised his head curiously, "Why is my brother so rich?"

Gu Yu thought for a while, then laughed, "Because Brother Qiaoqiao will surely become a successful person, and I will be his little lover when the time comes."

Lele: "Brother, what is nurturing?"

Before Gu Yu could explain, Jian Qiao kicked him, causing Gu Yu to sprawl on the bed, and gave a big gift to Lele who was tearing off the coloring page.

"Why do you tell the kids everything?"

Gu Yuli said confidently, "I will educate him at home!"

Jian Qiao clicked his tongue, raised his wrist, and rushed forward, "I will also educate you at home now."

In the evening, the four of Huazhoutang went out to eat together.Passing by the noisy night market, the fragrant oily smoke wafts from afar.A few noisy middle school students ran past them, shouting excitedly that such-and-such a roadside stall is a delicacy in the world.

"Brother, I also want to go to the roadside stall, but my mother doesn't allow me to go, saying that it's for people with no quality." Lele suddenly looked up at Gu Yu.

"Okay, brother will take you there. But you have to know that fundamentally speaking, everyone should be respected, and every life is worthy of awe, you know?" Gu Yu squatted down and looked into his eyes seriously.

Lele was confused, but she answered very honestly, "...brother, I didn't understand."

"..." Gu Yu was silent for a while, and then said, "I mean, people who eat roadside stalls are not unqualified, so they can't simply draw conclusions for others."

"Are all those who eat roadside stalls good people?" Lele asked again.

Gu Yu sighed helplessly, "You are a classic syllogistic wrong reasoning."

"Every day, don't keep telling your children the truth, give examples to understand!" Gu Qianfan punched Gu Yu's arm, and Gu Yu shuddered in pain, "Understood, Grandpa. Let's go, let's go!" .”

"Didn't you say you want to take Lele to eat at the roadside stall?" Gu Qianfan asked.

"Next time I'll take him there alone. There's a lot of oily smoke there, and it's not good for your health."

"Hey, I don't care if it's a big deal." Gu Qianfan waved his hands with a smile.Gu Yu looked down at Lele, hoping to see understanding and compromise in his eyes, but Lele also looked at him expectantly.

He motioned for Grandpa and Jian Qiao to go ahead first, squatted down and looked at Lele, "Grandpa is getting old, the environment there is not very good, we can't take Grandpa there, right?"

Lele looked at him suspiciously, "But just now Grandpa said it's okay."

"It's not just because of grandpa. You see, Brother Qiaoqiao has always liked to be quiet," Gu Yu took his hand and said, "My brother said that Brother Qiaoqiao is very delicate and I dote on him. If you like him too , you have to pamper him, right?"

"Okay," Lele finally gave in, "but brother spoiled him. Last time I saw brother Qiaoqiao secretly flipping through your phone."

……Shock!

Gu Yu really didn't expect that Jian Qiao would check his phone. On the one hand, he has no secrets about Jian Qiao; on the other hand, his phone has never had a password, and sometimes Jian Qiao will use it directly. For a moment, there is absolutely no need to secretly browse through anything.

He pulled Lele forward, but Lele suddenly stopped.

Gu Yu: "Why don't you leave?"

"Brother, I'm so tired." Lele replied softly.

"……what."

Lele looked up and looked at him expectantly again, "Brother, can you hug me for a while?"

Gu Yu: ...

Lele: "Just 5 minutes, okay? I'll come down and leave as soon as the time is up."

The little guy didn't keep his promise as he fell asleep quickly within 5 minutes.Looking at the well-breathed child in his arms, Gu Yu suddenly felt that this was pretty good, and he was even a little envious of Lele.

At least this time, it was the mother who took the child.If Tian Yunpei and Gu Tianbai divorced, it would have been nice if it had been his mother who took him with him.

But if you think about it this way, if Tian Yunpei can have a longer memory and Gu Yu can become that unpleasant negative example, it might not be a bad thing.At least, Lele is happy now.

That night, Gu Yu came out of the shower and brushed his hair, and caught Jian Qiaoqiao who stole his phone.

"What are you doing?" He jumped onto the bed and poked his head forward vigorously, "You must have been arrested!"

Jian Qiao reached out and pinched his face, then threw the phone aside, "No way, you, there are no new materials recently, so it's not interesting."

New material?Gu Yu was puzzled, and after a brainstorm, he suddenly realized, "Are you peeking at my 360-degree selfie with no blind spots?"

"There are no dead angles yet. Can you shoot them all from dead angles? Only your face is quite durable," Jian Qiao smiled and added, "More than that."

Gu Yu's body was shocked, "There is also a simulated video of me thinking I won the International Translation Award on stage??"

Jian Qiao nodded seriously, "Your acceptance speech was very touching, and you even mentioned the two dogs at home."

Gu Yu's heart tightened again, "Don't you still watch the ballroom dance collection I danced with Gu Laifu?!"

Jian Qiao nodded solemnly.

The night was not particularly drowsy, and Gu Yu knew he was ashamed, so he had already covered his head with the quilt and fell asleep beside him.

Jian Qiao turned off the bedside lamp, leaned against the pillow, took out Gu Yu's cell phone in the dim light, unlocked it, and put on the earphones.

He clicked on the recording, skillfully found a string of numbers among the countless recording files, and pressed down with his fingertips.

A soothing pure sleep music began to play in the earphones, accompanied by the white noise of the thunderstorm, flowing gently.But the sound quality is not very good, obviously recorded.After a while, the music in the earphones was still playing, but a soft voice suddenly sounded, as if whispering against the cheek.

"Jian Qiao, I like you very much, the kind of liking that I want to watch during the day and guard at night, the kind of liking that follows every step and never leaves," Gu Yu said, "but I dare not tell you, nor dare Ask, do you like me? I knew from a very young age that everything I have will be lost one day, and I can accept it.”

Jian Qiao didn't move, Gu Yu was silent for a while, then suddenly said weakly, "Can you make an exception?"

There was still no answer. After a long time, Gu Yu whispered to himself: "Jian Qiao, have you thought about the future? If ten years pass, will you become an artist with some insight? Will I become what I dreamed of? ?”

"Jian Qiao, after ten years, will we still be by each other's side?"

The music gradually weakened, and it was nearing the end.

"Good night." Gu Yu said, turning off the recording.

Jian Qiao took off the earphones, recalling every word Gu Yu said in the recording just now.

This audio recording was recorded about two years ago. If it hadn't been for accidental hearing, Jian Qiao would not have known that at that time, Gu Yu was so cautious and uncertain.

Is he sure now?Does he have confidence in their future?Do you firmly believe that his Jian Qiaoqiao will become a great painter and that he will become the top translator he dreams of?

Do you really believe that after ten years, they will still live a life that never tires of seeing each other?

In the dim light, Jian Qiao leaned closer, and gently pulled down the quilt, revealing Gu Yu's suffocated red cheeks in the night, his eyes closed tightly, and his breathing was steady.

Falling asleep so quickly, it seems that Gu Xiaobao, who has danced ballroom dances with Gu Laifu repeatedly, is not too ashamed.

Jian Qiao took Gu Yu's cell phone, turned on the recording, and started recording audio.The night was mild and the moonlight was white. He opened his mouth and sang in a deep voice: "Under the bridge in front of the door, a flock of ducks swam by. Come and count them, two four six seven eight..."

After singing, he thought about it and said softly, "Yes, I will."

Jian Qiao rubbed his face, leaned over and planted a soft kiss on his forehead.

A gust of wind blew in outside the window, and the fluffy curtains were lifted.As usual, Jian Qiao stretched out her hand to cover his ear.

"Good night."

The author has something to say: Gu Xiaobao recorded this recording in Chapter 35. :)

I wrote it very plainly, because I will finish the calf soon.
