Chasing the Mist

Spring Festival is approaching.

When Gu Renli and his wife came back, they couldn't live in the old house, so the whole family went to live in the villa together.

Under the endless urging and coercion of his parents, Gu Xun started an endless blind date, female doctors, wealthy daughters, fashionable white-collar workers... all the photos, he hasn't been in contact with women for a long time, he is out of touch in this regard, and he doesn't understand The preferences of modern girls can't answer their strange questions. As a result, there are more than a dozen blind dates, and none of them are right.

On the 29th of the twelfth lunar month, after meeting the last girl, he let out a sigh of relief, which was easier than closing the case.

As soon as I got home and sat on the sofa, Gu Renli's thin eyes came over, "Mr. Zhang's daughter is only 22 years old, she is young and beautiful, what is not worthy of you?"

Gu Xun opened his legs, leaned back, looked up at the ceiling, "I can't afford it."

Gu Renli rolled his eyes at him, "Which woman can you support with that little salary?"

Gu Xun sat up straight, shrugged, "So I——don't look for it."

Gu Renli's breathing became heavier, and the teacup in his hand slammed at him, "If you don't look for it, get lost."

Gu Xun dodged to the left, the teacup fell to the ground, broke with a crisp sound, he made an OK gesture to Gu Renli, and rushed out the door.

After stepping out the door, the heat on his body was quickly blown away by the cold wind. Gu Xun lifted his hat behind him and put it on his head, and called Yuan He while walking, "Where are you?"

There was a burst of loud music on the other end of the phone, "Wait a minute." After a few seconds, the music gradually disappeared, and the other side was quiet, "Aquarius, are you coming?"

"Well, wait for me." Gu Xun hung up the phone, pressed a car window, lit a cigarette, and drove to Aquarius. They often went to Aquarius to play in high school. He seldom sang, and Yuan He was tone deaf , the two often play with the sieve in the corner.

The music in the private room was deafening, and a group of people who couldn't see their faces clearly twisted their bodies in the interlaced lights of light and dark, and the group of demons danced wildly. Gu Xun caught sight of Yuan He who was drinking alone in the corner.

He walked around the crowd, quietly sat beside Yuan He, opened the bottle of wine with his teeth, and touched Yuan He's wine bottle.

Yuan He was taken aback, "Damn! Why don't you call when you arrive?"

Gu Xun ignored him, and asked selfishly, "Have you been abused by Zheng Yuan again?"

Because of work, Gu Xun seldom drinks alcohol, and in a situation like today's active drinking, it is very likely that he will be in a bad mood. Yuan He looked at him, "Arguing with your father again?"

Gu Xun said nothing.

"Between fate, do one?" The wine bottles collided and each drank, "Isn't it suitable for a blind date? You can get back together with Shanshan, anyway, her fiancé...I didn't expect Zhang Yanchen to be a murderer, so I just thought he was a murderer." nice one."

Gu Xun lowered his head and took a sip of his wine, then said casually, "Do you think everyone is just like you, only eating grass?"

"You only know how to cherish when you lose it. You know a lot. By the way, Shanshan has such a good condition, which is more than enough to match that bastard Zhang Yanchen. She has a beautiful wife and kills people. It's really perverted."

Hearing this, Gu Xun raised his head and saw Wu Shanshan on the dance floor. She was 1 meters tall, with long legs and thin waist, fair complexion, curly hair scattered around her waist, sexy and charming, a god-given skin, just thinking of her morbid paranoia, There was a wave of disgust in my heart.

The music stopped, and Wu Shanshan and Zheng Yuan came one after another.

"Gu Xun? What wind brought you here?" Zheng Yuan said in surprise.

Gu Xun raised his head and smiled, "Northwest wind."

"Young poor, running towards us Shanshan?"

Wu Shanshan bumped into Zheng Yuan secretly, signaled her to shut up, and at the same time picked up the wine, "Let's have a drink together."

The four of them drank and chatted about the past. Gu Xun drank a few more glasses and felt a little dizzy. He asked the driver to prepare to leave. When they reached the gate of the KTV, Wu Shanshan caught up and said, "Zhang Yanchen usually treats me very well. I really didn't expect him to be abnormal. Gu Xun I'm sorry."

Gu Xun turned around and looked back at her, his eyes were cold and heartless, "I should apologize to those three innocent girls, not me."

Wu Shanshan pursed her lips, "I didn't kill anyone, why did I apologize to them? Because Zhang Yanchen caused you trouble, I—"

"Do you love him?" Gu Xun interrupted suddenly.

Wu Shanshan was silent for a moment, then raised her eyes to meet Gu Xun's gaze, "I only love you."

"No, why are you with him? It's fun to cuckold others?" Gu Xun's tone was so cold that he almost froze him.

The secret was revealed, Wu Shanshan couldn't help but froze, her voice trembling: "How do you know? What did he tell you...?"

"He said everything. We said what we should say in the ward last time. Don't meet again." Gu Xun walked forward.

Wu Shanshan stepped forward and grabbed his sleeve, "Why do you treat me like this? Who did I become like this? Not because of you Gu Xun."

Gu Xun suddenly stopped in his tracks, "Enough." His gaze was like a sword, hitting her directly, "You were the one who said to break up back then, and you were the one who immediately found a new boyfriend after the breakup. You have always had a partner by your side all these years." People, it’s still you, don’t use loving me as a pretense anymore, you just haven’t met someone you’re attracted to, and you’re greedy for Zhang Yanchen’s kindness to you, and you don’t want to separate.”

"Gu Xun, my love for you has never changed. Those men are like you, so I'm with them." Wu Shanshan didn't care to wipe the tears from the corners of her eyes, and tightly tugged at his sleeves.

Gu Xun felt his head was heavy and heavy, and he wanted to go home and sleep, and he didn't want to continue talking, "Let go, or you will only hurt more people."

Wu Shanshan dragged Gu Xun desperately, and asked the question again: "Have you ever loved me? Even a little?"

This time Gu Xun didn't make sense anymore, and said bluntly: "I have never loved, not at all."

The cold wind whizzed past the two of them, and after a while, Wu Shanshan slowly let go of her hand, "Gu Xun—goodbye."

"Goodbye."

After getting in the car, Gu Xun slept downstairs in the old house, turned the lock and entered the door, the living room light was turned off, the second bedroom door was open, and the light diffused outside, so he entered along the light.

Lin Yiran was sitting at the desk reading a book, his back was straight, Gu Xun didn't move, he leaned against the door frame to look at him, the figure in front of him overlapped with his memory, he bent the corner of his lower lip, stepped forward and touched Lin Yiran's head, "Didn't you finish your homework?"

Lin Yiran stopped flipping the book, turned around, Gu Xun's cheeks were flushed, and there was a slight smile on his lips, which was very different from usual, smelling the smell of alcohol, he already knew, "Who did you drink with?"

Gu Xun rubbed his fingers between his hair, the warmth in his palm spread down his scalp, "Yuan He." His tone was very gentle.

An electric current rushed from the scalp to the heart in an instant, Lin Yiran pushed him away suddenly, "Don't touch me."

Gu Xun staggered and fell on the bed. After two seconds, he sat up again, with a faint smile from the corner of his slanted mouth, and the vicious energy came up again, pinching Lin Yiran's chin and raising his face, " You're not big and you have a big temper, so what can I do if I touch you?"

Lin Yiran: "..."

This man is really drunk, he is like a child.

Unable to be as knowledgeable as a drunkard, he lightly removed the hand on his chin, got up and stood in front of Gu Xun, pointed at the bed, "Brother, you drank too much, you should go to bed."

"Come here, brother sleeps with you." Gu Xun put his arms through Lin Yiran's wrists, hugged his waist, put his face on his abdominal muscles, and closed his eyes.

Lin Yiran was startled, stuck there motionless, as if he had stopped breathing, his body was as hot as a fire, his brain regained consciousness for a moment, he pushed Gu Xun out, "Relax, go to bed and sleep."

No one moved, and the sound of sound sleep came.

Looking down at the person in his arms, the tiger turned into a cat, not as sharp as usual, but a little more cute. It would be great if this kind of Gu Xun appeared a few more times, he raised his hand while thinking, and used the same method He stroked Gu Xun's head, his hair was short, black and shiny, and his scalp was very warm. After a while, he said softly, "Brother, good night."

After settling Gu Xun, Lin Yiran lay down, turned off the light, and just closed his eyes, the person next to him turned over, crossed his legs, and wrapped his arms around his waist.

The dry heat that had just been suppressed came out again, Lin Yiran took away his hands and feet, moved to the side, separated half a person away, and warned: "Sleep honestly."

Gu Xun slept soundly and did not respond. After 10 minutes, the half-person distance left in the middle was occupied, and his hands were put on Lin Yiran's body again, and his head was buried in his neck, as if he was sleeping in his arms.

Lin Yiran was about to explode, and pushed Gu Xun hard, "If you move around again, I'll fuck you."

Gu Xun was confused, "Huh?", stretched his arms into his arms, patted his head to comfort him: "Good boy! Don't be afraid if you have brother here."

"..." Lin Yiran completely lost his temper, took a deep breath, and meditated on the Buddhist scriptures. When Gu Xun fell asleep, he got out of bed and went to sleep in the master bedroom.

The next day.

It was almost noon when Gu Xun woke up, and he forgot everything after returning home last night. The suit he wore yesterday had been washed and hung on the balcony.

Lin Yiran has been taking care of these flower and grass carp all the time. He turned his head and looked around, but he was not seen. He looked down at the time and roughly guessed his whereabouts.

Gu Mingli's financial situation is not as good as that of Gu Renli's. There is no villa, and the house is just an ordinary three-bedroom house. The family of eight is a bit crowded together.

Gu Renli was in the room, walking up and down, like visiting an exhibition hall, "Brother, is this vase a fake?"

Gu Mingli glanced up, then lowered his head to make dumplings, "Whether it's a fake or not, I bought it when I went to the antique market and saw it looked good. I don't have much money, so I don't feel sorry for breaking it."

Gu Renli clicked his tongue, and said again: "You have been promoted to director for several years, why don't you change your house?"

"House prices are ridiculously expensive now." Gu Mingli focused on making dumplings without even raising his head.

"Is Mr. Gu tired?" Gu Xun interjected, "Every time we come back, we talk like this, can we let our ears be clean? What's the difference with the family? How rich is it?"

These words directly shattered Gu Renli's mask, and he was so angry that his teeth itch, "Gu Xun!"

"..."

The Spring Festival of the Gu family was spent in the quarrel between Gu Renli and his son.

*

In a blink of an eye, the snow melted and the earth rejuvenated.

Lifting off the white cloak, the flowers in Baicheng are red and willows are green, which is a different scene.

In the second half of Gu Yuan's senior year, he stayed in Gu Renli's branch in Baicheng for an internship, and still shared the old house with Gu Xun.

On an ordinary weekend, the three of them slept until noon by coincidence. Gu Xun was worrying about lunch when Yuan He came and brought food to help.

Yuan He entered the door and put down the food, and said while slipping on his slippers, "Xun'er, Zheng Yuan and I will go exploring Baishi Mountain with Zheng Yuan and the others next weekend, why don't you go together?"

In order to completely cut off contact with Wu Shanshan, Gu Xun has withdrawn from the high school circle and will not participate in any of their activities, "No."

Gu Yuan came out of the bathroom and stared at the shoes under Yuan He's feet, "Brother Yuan, your pair of limited edition ajs are not bad."

"Brother likes to give it to you."

"I'm a size 42 and can't fit in your shoes."

"Then brother bought a pair of 42s for you."

"Thank you, Brother Yuan." Gu Yuan took the food and placed it on the dining table, and the four of them sat around the table.

Yuan He showed courtesy to Gu Xun to pick up vegetables and pour water, "Go out and relax on weekends, we are all high school classmates, why don't we go together?"

"Who is there?"

"The three girls in Zheng Yuan's dormitory each bring a male companion."

"Zheng Yuan asked you to come here again? Tell her to stop matching me and Wu Shanshan, it's useless."

"This time I really didn't match you up. I heard that the barren village of Baishi Mountain is haunted by ghosts. The little girl is timid, so she wants to find a policeman to suppress her."

Gu Xun put down his chopsticks and wiped his mouth with a paper towel, "Baishi Mountain is far and remote. At that time, due to the inconvenient transportation, people in the village moved out one after another. It has been deserted for more than [-] years, the electricity is not connected, and the surrounding area is deserted. Go there to explore? Are you free?"

"Adventures to supernatural places are popular on the Internet now. Shooting a few videos can attract a wave of fans' attention. Besides, women are curious about these rumors, but they dare not go by themselves, so each of them brings a male companion."

"Let Wu Shanshan find someone else, I don't have time."

Gu Xun refused to go as Yuan He was soft and hard, and finally had to give up.

A week later, Gu Xun was woken up by Yuan He's call early in the morning, "This weekend, can't you wait for me to wake up before calling?"

"Xun'er, something happened to Wu Shanshan." Yuan He's voice trembled slightly.

Gu Xun half-closed his eyes, his brain was half awake and chaotic, "Suicide again?"

On the other end of the phone, there was some incoherent speech: "Didn't commit suicide, she died... died... was killed... died beside me... Gu Xun, come quickly."
