Chaser

Since Yu Chen came back today and didn't have time to find a house, he found a hotel and decided to stay for a few days, and then slowly looked for a house after the jet lag was reversed. Houses in City B are hard to find. This is what Yu Chen understood at a very young age. He didn’t intend to find a small home to settle down in as soon as he came here. In fact, it’s not impossible, just make a phone call. Go back to have a big meal and sleep in a big bed.I don't want them to know that I have returned to China. This will be a very troublesome thing. There is no need to repair the relationship that broke up more than ten years ago after ten years. If you don't treat each other as human beings, then you Why bother to post that cold ass, it's not worth mentioning that it's not worth it, and it also ruined my mood.I feel that I am already very worthy of them. I have lived completely for them in the past twenty years. Now, it is time to live for myself...

I felt like I arrived at the hotel without thinking about a lot of things, and when I paid the driver, I muttered in a low voice: so fast?The driver in the front row probably didn't hear him, and didn't reply to his words.Talking to himself all the way into the hotel lobby, when he was about to press the elevator, he went back as if thinking of something, looked around the hotel door, looked at the inconspicuous corner, shook his head, walked over and raised his hand to the driver's seat Knock on the car window twice: Do you want to go in and have a seat?

Gu Ming followed Yu Chen all the way until he walked into the hotel. He wanted to stop at this inconspicuous place to buffer for a few minutes, but Yu Chen turned back and asked him if he wanted to sit in the hotel. He didn't hesitate for a while. Overwhelmed, I don't know how to answer him.Yu Chen didn't expect that his casual question would make Gu Ming have no answer, so he pulled away from the co-pilot's seat and raised his finger to guide Gu Ming to drive the car into the hotel's underground parking garage.

Gu Ming looked at the person in front of him looking for the room card in his pocket, feeling very helpless, the more he lived, the more he went back, his memory was not as good as once, the room was opened at noon, and the room card disappeared within a few hours. When he was about to call the front desk, Yu Chen took out the room card from the inner pocket of the windbreaker.

With a beep, he opened the door and walked in with his long legs. "Sit casually, I haven't had time to clean up. I was dragged out by Wan Zi as soon as I put my things away today. Don't look outside!" Poured a glass of boiled water for Gu Ming: "Do you mind the boiled water?" Gu Ming From the moment I entered the door, I have been staring at the things in the room. In fact, the hotel rooms all have the same layout. The difference is that this room smells like Yu Chen, even for a while, it has his unique mint smell. .When Yu Chen left ten years ago, Gu Ming went crazy and bought a lot of mint-flavored toiletries in various shops, as if Yu Chen was still by his side as long as there was this smell.But no matter how hard he tried to find them, those identical flavors looked like fakes to him, without Yu Chen's feeling, without...

Now that Yu Chen is back, he feels that even the wind he brought with him when he passed by has that mint smell, let alone the things he brought, even the hotel rooms seem to have that smell, Gu Ming inhaled the mint smell in the air greedily.Yu Chen's things are quite small, just two boxes and some things for painting, not too messy, not to the point where people and gods are indignant, it seems that his self-care skills have improved a lot...

After Yu Chen poured a glass of water for Gu Ming, he sat on the sofa in front of him. Gu Ming watched Yu Chen sit down and then sat opposite him. It is clear who has changed, and there is nothing to say. 'Oh, what an irony, the ex-lover turned into the most familiar stranger, and he asked for it, and now this scene is what you want to see? Why bother?Did Baba come back from France and expect to be the same as before?It deserves it! ' Yu Chen thought in his heart, and the corner of his mouth inevitably curled into a mocking smile.

Gu Ming had imagined all kinds of scenes of reuniting with Yu Chen, but he never thought that he would sit with him in a certain hotel room and look at each other quietly. This was really beyond his expectation.Gu Ming once thought that when he found Yu Chen, he would keep him by his side no matter how much he paid, even if it was a corpse. After Yu Chen left, Gu Ming would be crazy, if he wasn't so small Hope is leading, Gu Ming will do something.But now that Gu Ming saw Yu Chen sitting in front of him, a living, flesh-and-blood Yu Chen, he suddenly felt that what he wanted was not Yu Chen staying by his side, but a living Yu Chen.Just come back, as long as he is still there, he is willing to abandon the whole world for him.

The two of them sat awkwardly, unable to find anything to say for a while, they wanted to say too much and didn't know where to start.Yu Chen just picked up the water glass and took small sips of water, while Gu Ming just watched Yu Chen's every move quietly.After seeing enough, Gu Ming slowly took a sip from the water glass: "Long time no see, I really don't know that your aesthetic has become so eclectic!

"Huh?" Yu Chen raised his face buried in the cup and looked at Gu Ming suspiciously, and saw Gu Ming glance at his hair. "Heh, you mean this hair?" He took out the hair tie around his wrist: "Do you believe that I can make it change from an artist to a transfigured man in a second, or a special style?" Put your hair back in a second With his tail tied up in the sky, he looked like a wandering and handsome man.Gu Ming was amused by his hairstyle, took out his mobile phone and sat next to him: "Let's take a photo, I haven't seen you for more than ten years."There was a click, and Yu Chen didn't have time to stop it. "Hey! You want me to let this hair down and take a picture again! How many of my little fans will go crazy like this?"

Gu Ming smiled and said nothing, Yu Chen took a look: "Okay! I have learned to smile awkwardly and politely." After speaking, he laughed out loud: "Hey! No, I have to post a Weibo , or I would be too sorry for my ponytail." 'Chassant la lumière.' Gu Ming secretly remembered Yu Chen's Weibo name. Since Yu Chen left, he has never been able to find any news about him. No one will tell him. He can only go silently over and over again. The bits and pieces before my memories, live by these memories.Now that I know his Weibo name, I feel like I can infiltrate the decade he missed before.

'Jeveuxquevoussachiezquedanscemondeilyatoujoursunepersonneenattentepourvous,n'importequand,n'importeoù,detoutefaon,vousles□□ez,ilyatoujoursunetellepersonne.' Attach a group photo of the two and click to send.

"OK" rolled the phone in his hand, and the two chatted continuously for a long time. Seeing Yu Chen yawned several times, Gu Ming let it go and saved his phone number on Yu Chen's phone before getting up and getting ready go home.Yu Chen sent people to the door: "I won't keep you here, it's not safe to go home too late, why don't I take you to the garage, you see, you've only drank a glass of water for half a day, I'm so weird Embarrassed." Turning around to get the coat, Gu Ming followed his swing and hugged him, buried her face in his neck, sniffed hard, and a muffled voice reached Yu Chen's ears: "I know Now is not the time, I don't want to force you, but don't think about it, since you are back, don't expect me to let you go like a fool like ten years ago." He said fiercely Yu Chen bit his neck, turned around and left, and thoughtfully closed the door behind him. "Hiss..." Yu Chen clutched his injured neck and kicked the door fiercely: "Gu Ming, you are a fucking dog!"
