embrace the moon

I saw how the years flew by, and after the winter, spring came.

- Rousseau, "Walden"

-----

That night, when Gu Yu walked out of the hotel drunkenly as usual, he almost lost his footing when going down the steps.He fell headfirst into Guan Xiaoli's arms.

Of course, he thought it might be Guan Xiaoli, because it was usually him before.

Jian Qiao stretched out his hand to support him, and walked towards his home while driving his arm.

Before Chen Fangxu told him that Gu Yu would talk nonsense when he was drunk, Jian Qiao really wanted to hear if he really called his name.

Gu Yu babbled all the way, babbling about something and nothing, unstructured, the first sentence was still gossip about a certain singer, and the second sentence was talking about too many birds on the square.

The hotel is not far from Gu Yu's home, Jian Qiao wanted him to blow some air, and helped him walk slowly.But before he had gone far, Gu Yu gave up halfway and sat down on the ground.

Jian Qiao had no choice but to lean over to help him, wrapping his arms around his waist.Gu Yu buried his face on his shoulder, and stretched out his arms to wrap his arms around him, and suddenly said without thinking, "Jian Qiao, you smell so sweet."

Hearing this, Jianqiao was stunned for a moment, then withdrew his hand in embarrassment, squatted in front of him and said softly, "Are you awake?"

Gu Yu looked at the face that was close at hand, and was absorbed in it.

"Does it look good?" Jian Qiao asked.

Gu Yu nodded blankly, still staring intently, as if he had stopped thinking, sizing up meticulously, his eyes carefully considering every part of his facial features.

"Jane Bridge."

"Ah."

"Jian Qiao." Gu Yu called out again, his voice hoarse and tired, and he looked up at him.

Jian Qiao lowered his head and sighed helplessly.

He has never been able to bear Gu Yu calling him that, whether it was five years ago or five years later; whether it was on the bed in that dim hut back then, or on the street where the snow was falling and the cold wind was blowing.

No matter when, no matter where, Jian Qiao felt that whenever he heard such a call, he could fold it in his hands without any suspense.

Sure enough, Gu Yu yelled a third time, softly, like a fluttering feather, fluttering past, scratching the apex of his heart.

"Jane Bridge."

Jian Qiao exhaled, white mist floated in the air, and he said, "Say the next thing."

"come over."

Jian Qiao approached obediently, Gu Yu leaned forward, lay on him obediently, wrapped his hands around his neck, and ran his fingertips across the fabric behind him.

"Jian Qiao." Gu Yu called out suddenly, softly calling his name again.

"One more sentence." Jian Qiao said.

"I don't want to drink anymore." Gu Yu leaned against his face, his warm breath sprayed on his skin, itching and warming.

Jian Qiao replied again, "En."

"I think I shouldn't need alcohol anymore," Gu Yu said, "What do you think?"

Jian Qiao put his arms around his waist, was silent for a moment, turned his head, and placed a light kiss on his neck, and said softly, "I think so too."

Late night, apartment.

Jian Qiao put Gu Yu on the sink, gently took off his clothes, and turned on the hot water.The dense water vapor rises in the bathroom, and the room is warm and humid.Gu Yu leaned against the wall, the drunkenness that had already subsided climbed up with the water vapor.

"Come on." Jian Qiao gave him a hand, put his hand on his forehead, and wet his hair with hot water.

The scent of the shampoo spreads, drilling all around the senses.Gu Yu looked at Jian Qiao who was concentrating on rubbing his head with his head full of bubbles, and asked without thinking: "Jian Qiao, do you know how to transfer the money in your head to your bank card?"

Jian Qiao sighed softly, put down the shower, squeezed the shower gel into his hand, and asked him, "Do you have to ask this kind of spring bug question before making out with me?"

Gu Yu froze for a moment, "What is a spring worm?"

"You are Chun Chong Chong." Jian Qiao said decisively.

"I don't quite understand. But you haven't said how to transfer the money in your head to the bank card." Gu Yu was smelling fragrant all over, and the heat was steaming upwards.

"Not sure," Jian Qiao added as he wiped the shower gel on his shoulders and ran his palm across his skin, "but I know how to turn my desire to bully you into action."

Gu Yu was silent for a moment, his face suddenly turned red, from his neck to his ears, like cold tomato dipped in sugar.

On the surface, Jian Qiao looked very calm. His fingertips stroked his outline, and suddenly stopped on his collarbone. There was a hickey tattoo on it, which looked very charming."When did you get this?" he asked.

"Just us... after that time," Gu Yu turned his head and looked in the mirror, "I was afraid that you would never come back, so I wanted to leave something about you."

Staring at this small tattoo carefully, and brushing his fingertips over it over and over again, Jian Qiao always felt that there was something he wanted to say, but he couldn't say anything.

"When I took off my clothes, the tattoo master's expression was also very exciting."

Jian Qiao laughed, "Is the unrestrained wild man sure?"

Gu Yu also laughed, hot water poured down from the top of his head.His hair was hanging wetly on his forehead, and when he raised his eyes, Jian Qiao happened to look over.The two looked at each other, and there was a moment of silence. Jian Qiao suddenly threw the shower, and took a step forward. Gu Yu also went up to meet him, and fell into a fierce and long kiss with him.

As the night deepened, the two huddled together on the not-so-spacious single bed and embraced frankly.

They share the same pair of headphones, and Gu Yu starts playing from the first track in the recording list.

There was a quiet and pleasant sound of reading in the earphones, and soon there was a loud sound of the door opening, followed by the sound of quarreling.

--what are you doing?

——Why didn't you answer the phone?

The two people wearing earphones laughed at the same time, and the laughter groaned softly, echoing each other in the drowsy night.

At that time, the voice sounded more immature, and it seemed that there was no change; that kind of time seemed very far away, and it seemed that it happened just yesterday.

——Senior, I think my perspective occasionally stops at the oil painting thinking, and I don’t feel good when I draw anything...

This is Jian Qiao's conversation with Lao Chen back then, gently and softly, urging Gu Yu to sleep.

"Listen, is this human talk? Painting is not decent," Gu Yu said with a smile in his eyes, looking at the face close at hand in the dark night, "will you still stay in the thinking of oil painting now? ?”

Jian Qiao shook his head, and brushed his fingertips against his ear, "I didn't understand much at that time."

This recording is quite long, and when Gu Yu was almost lulled to sleep by their soft-spoken discussions, the audio finally ended and switched to the next one.

——The exam is coming soon, can you read more professional books?

——I am so good that I can probably get 99 in the exam. I don’t want my classmates to feel inferior and give up a few points to show comfort.

The two couldn't hold back, and both laughed out loud.Jian Qiao opened his mouth and said exactly the same words as in the following recording, "You are so annoying."

"How many points did you get in the test that year?" Jian Qiao asked.

"97, everything is under my control." Gu Yu replied with a smile.

——Jian Qiao, ten years from now, will we still be by each other's side?

The two looked at each other, their eyes rolling.

Yes.Boy, I am you in a few years.I want to tell you that your wishes will come true.

You don't have to worry, don't hesitate, don't have to be sad, don't have to pay attention to the speed of the world, just run forward.

No matter how far the journey is, how long the future is, you must be brave.

If you wake up one day, you find that you have less courage to move forward.

Then you look up and look ahead.

The person you love deeply and love you deeply, like you, is running towards you bravely.

If he could really see his past self, Gu Yu would definitely tell himself how lucky he was to meet the person in front of him.He leaned closer and kissed Jian Qiao's lips lightly like a dragonfly touching water.

When the lips touched, a soft singing came from the earphones.

——Under the bridge in front of the gate, a flock of ducks swam past.Come and count, two four six seven eight...

Gu Yu raised his mobile phone and showed Jian Qiao the track that was sliding forward.

"Is this the audio track in the photo frame?" Jian Qiao asked.

Gu Yu nodded.

Jian Qiao pushed away his hand holding the mobile phone, propped himself up and leaned in for a deep kiss.Until he finished singing nursery rhymes back then and spoke softly.

—Yes, I will.
