years and years

"Niannian—come here!"

It was that familiar voice again, You Yezhi ran forward, turned to look at the woman, and saw that she was holding a small wooden stick in her hand, and shouted at him: "Are you still running? Are you scared? What I said Don’t you just ignore it? Who made a big lump on your brother’s head? Do you think I don’t know?”

After running around the long corridor every year, he was often beaten, and he had already developed a running speed that was different from ordinary people.The woman was stopped by a mother-in-law next to her, and she persuaded her for a long time.

There was a figure standing behind the north house, holding the door frame with his hands, only his head was exposed, with a big bump on his forehead.

Far away, Nian Nian and Sui Sui met their gazes, and he looked at his younger brother with a smug smile.

Shuci came back late, and when he got home it was pitch black, even You Yezhi's room had no lights.He drank a little too much, regardless of whether he was asleep or not, he reached out to knock on the door, shouting: "You Yezhi..."

"Brother, this is what my mother left for me—"

"Then what's the matter." Niannian snatched the sweet-scented osmanthus cake from his hand: "It's a waste if you eat it, there's nothing in this house that belongs to you, understand?"

Sui Sui looked up at him, with a little sweet-scented osmanthus cake on his lips.

"You Yezhi——"

Who is shouting?

"You Yezhi——!!!"

His body trembled violently, pulling You Yezhi out of the dream.There was a frenzied knock on the door, You Yezhi wiped the sweat from his forehead, turned over to pretend he didn't hear it, and left after waiting for Shuci to shout tiredly.

Sure enough, there was no sound outside the door, the footsteps gradually drifted away, and after a while, they approached again, and then the soul-like shout came again: "...You Yezhi..."

You Yezhi took a deep breath, turned on the night light, and got out of bed directly.

When I opened the door, I could smell a strong smell of alcohol mixed with a faint smell of smoke, which was actually not unpleasant, but You Yezhi still took a few steps back and frowned at him: "Are you drinking again?"

Shuci drank too much, let go of himself when he got home, leaned his head against the door and looked at him: "You go to bed so early?"

"You're a drunkard." You Yezhi took a few steps back, just as Shuci squeezed in, he stretched out his hand and grabbed: "Why are you..."

"I'll just sit down, don't be afraid." Shuci pushed his hand away, walked directly into the room, and said lazily, "Don't worry, I'll just sit for a while, I don't want to wash your sheets anymore."

You Yezhi was quite upset to be woken up.Rubbing his eyes, he stood at the closet and looked at him, Shuci raised his head to meet his gaze, You Yezhi rolled his eyes and looked away.

Shuci looked at him and asked, "You Yezhi, why don't you live with your parents?"

You Yezhi's expression didn't change. After thinking for a moment, he replied lightly, "I don't live where I am."

"You're right." Shuci hesitated for a moment, then grinned, and said, "Next time I'll treat you to barbecue, so you can cook for me later."

You Yezhi looked back at him: "It's a good idea."

Not surprised by the deflated book, he cheerfully took a bottle of coconut milk and put it on the table for him, and got up to leave.

Shuci didn't see that You Yezhi behind him seemed to have something to say, but he didn't ask in the end.It was so quiet in the middle of the night, Shu Ci touched his face, and walked unsteadily: "I won't disturb you anymore, go to bed early."

He walked towards the door, You Yezhi looked at his back and asked, "Do you want porridge?"

Shuci didn't look back: "It's too late, don't do it."

With a "bang", the small sound of closing the door was extraordinarily loud in the silent night, Shu resigned to take a bath, and You Yezhi stood in the dark for a while before going back to bed.

School hadn't started yet, and I slept until noon, feeling empty and uncomfortable in my stomach, Shuci woke up from hunger, turned over and opened my eyes in a daze, only to find that it was past ten o'clock in the morning.

Staying in bed for more than ten minutes, yawning and going to the bathroom, just opened the door and saw a figure sitting on the sofa, Shuci was stunned, and his footsteps stopped: "You don't even go to work?"

You Yezhi was dressed in casual clothes and looked like he was working, but looking closely at his expression, it was obvious that he was staring at the computer screen thinking about other things, when he heard the voice, he looked up at the book and said softly: "It doesn't matter if you go or not. "

Shuci gave a silent "Oh".

After brushing his teeth and washing his face, his stomach twitched with pain, and Shuci gasped, clutching his stomach and hurried back to the house.So anxious that he didn't even close the door, You Yezhi hesitated and walked over, stood at the door and looked at him: "What's wrong with you."

"Stomach hurts a bit."

Before You Yezhi could speak, he listened to Shuci and said again: "I'll just lie down and be fine."

"..." It seemed that he was a little speechless about this solution, You Yezhi didn't speak for a while, and after ten seconds, he said: "Do you often have stomach pains?"

Shuci originally turned his back to him, but after hearing his question, he turned around slowly, looked at the person standing at the door, and replied with a smile: "It's okay, occasionally, you know that reflux esophagus Inflammation? It’s more painful than stomach pain.”

You Yezhi leaned against his door with folded arms, narrowed his eyes, and said, "You deserve it, smoking and drinking."

"You don't smoke or drink, why do I feel that you are not in good health?" Shu Ci likes to talk, propped his head with his hands, looked at him and said, "I noticed you the first time I saw you. Malnutrition, but I don't think your head is as fragile as your body."

You Yezhi's eyelashes trembled slightly, and he didn't answer for a moment after seeing him.Leaving a sentence "Lie down", turned and left.

Shuci's solution to stomach pain is to "lie down for a while", and it will be ready after lying down for a while.The stomach pain gradually improved. He lay on the bed and played with his mobile phone for a while, when he suddenly smelled a strong aroma of rice.

He got up abruptly, almost ran out of the room without his shoes on, and saw You Yezhi in an apron working in the kitchen.

"What did you make so delicious?"

You Yezhi didn't look back: "How many times have you eaten and still can't smell it?"

Shu Ci's eyes widened: "Porridge?!"

Didn't hear his answer, Shuci acquiesced, ran to him a few steps and looked at the pot of porridge, and exclaimed: "It's amazing, my roommate didn't know anything before, and sometimes we would eat instant noodles together."

You Yezhi didn't know what he was thinking, so he turned off the fire, and after thinking for a while, he opened his mouth: "I have a bad stomach, I'd better eat less instant noodles."

"It's a big deal, just let it go." Shuci didn't care, and took a bowl to serve porridge: "But it's good that you came, the rice you cook is different from the ones sold outside, the porridge you cook is a bit like my grandpa's. smell."

You Yezhi stood beside him and stared at him, but saw Shuci's attention was only on the porridge, he lowered his eyes and remained silent, the two sat down facing each other, the porridge was too hot and steaming.

You Yezhi leaned back on the chair: "Why did you come to City A?"

Shu Ci asked back: "Why did you come to City A?"

"...I'm a local."

"My grades are not good, and only the university in City A admitted me."

"..."

You Yezhi remained silent.I thought to myself what is meant by "only the university in city A is admitted if the grades are not good".

Shuci drank porridge, didn't hear You Yezhi's voice, looked up but bumped into his dark pupils, and fell silent for a moment.

"Why did you move out?"

You Yezhi looked at him: "Why don't you live on campus?"

"..." This was a confrontation with him, and Shuci swallowed a mouthful of food: "Fighted, I was kicked out."

You Yezhi didn't seem surprised, he pinched the bridge of his nose and didn't speak.

"Shouldn't you answer me? Obviously I asked first."

He obviously answered it once last night, and now he has to say it again, You Yezhi shook his head and said: "It's nothing, it's more comfortable to be alone."

Shuci wondered if there was any difference between this answer and last night's, anyway, it's a private matter after all, so don't ask.Nodding his head, he sighed, "Yes, how free a person is."

You Yezhi looked at him, but didn't look away.

"My grandpa is very kind to me." After he paused, Shuci raised his head and smiled again. He reached out to get a cigarette, but was hit by You Yezhi with his chopsticks. In pain, he hurriedly withdrew his hand and stared wide-eyed. He: "What are you doing! It hurts!"

You Yezhi stared at him without speaking for a while, he looked at the diction in a daze, not understanding what he meant: "Don't you like the smell of cigarettes?"

You Yezhi saw that he had a cigarette in his hand and was waiting to light it, pinched the bridge of his nose, and said, "...it's nothing, you can smoke."

"Do you dislike me?" Shuci looked at him with a smile: "If you don't like it, then I won't smoke."

You Yezhi raised his head to meet his gaze, and was dumbfounded for a moment.He squinted his eyes, sat opposite him and looked at him, thinking that this man is so handsome, how many little girls would die for him.

"You Yezhi."

The person opposite leaned back on the chair and looked at him lazily.

Shuci held his breath and relaxed again: "Have you ever talked to a girlfriend?"

"No."

"Don't lie to me, you are so handsome, it is impossible that no little girl likes you."

You Yezhi bent his lips: "It's not interesting."

Shu Ci was surprised by this answer, because he had answered others in the same way.But he still gossips: "Have you ever been hurt by love? Which girl is so cruel?"

The smoke was lingering, You Yezhi half squinted his eyes and glanced at him, not bothering to answer the question at all.

Shuci didn't say a word, he understood that it was just a joke.Because he himself has no interest in love until now, recalling that his buddies and girlfriends change for a while, but he himself seems to have never thought about it.

"It's really not interesting."

The smoke filled in front of him, You Yezhi looked at him through the smoke layer, and smiled with rare smile.

This year's autumn came very quickly, the weather in September is already chilly, and the temperature at night is so cold that Shuci is shivering.After leaving school, Li Jiayue wanted to go home by bicycle, but Li Jiayue ran out: "Shu Ci!"

Shuci turned his head to look: "Aren't you going back to sleep?"

"My head is getting bigger from reading." Li Jiayue stopped him and said, "Shall we go out for supper?"

"I won't go." He refused without even thinking about it, glanced at Li Jiayue again, Shuci began to drive people back: "It's getting colder, put on more clothes, don't ask for style or temperature."

Li Jiayue covered her heart with her hands: "Are you caring about me?"

Shu Ci thought otherwise, because you just blocked my way with your arms outstretched.

He was riding fast, and when he was about to lock the car at the door of his house, he looked up and saw a familiar figure not far away

.

"Hey, you came back so late too." Shuci called him, saw him walk in, and asked, "Why did you go, have you eaten yet?"

You Yezhi held a bag in his hand, and answered his next question: "I don't want to eat."

"How can I do that? People are iron and rice is steel. If you don't eat a meal, you will be hungry." Shuci went upstairs with him, and only after the light was turned on did he see You Yezhi's face, which was pale and weak: "You should When eating, I always feel that your health is not very good, and the meals you cook are more nutritious than those outside."

You Yezhi entered the room and said, "You want to eat."

"I...not really, I'm thinking of you, you look too thin."

"..."

You Yezhi didn't return, he raised his foot to enter the room, turned around and sat down on the sofa, took out his phone and seemed to be answering a message.It's rare to see that he didn't go back to the room directly, and Shu Ci also sat down next to him, looking at his phone with his head stretched out: "What are you playing?"

...You Yezhi's hand holding the mobile phone was slightly exerted, annoyed by the nagging, Shu Ci tilted his head to look at him, and asked again: "Do you cook?"

Still ignoring him, Shuci touched him with his leg, but there was still no response, Shuci touched him again.You Yezhi couldn't bear it anymore: "Can you be more honest?"

Sure enough, he didn't move, You Yezhi put away his phone and stood up, saying, "Let's have some noodles."

Shuci said yes with a smile, and showed off his only good cooking egg: "Do you want to eat eggs? I can beat the medium-rare ones."

In the end, the two of them each had a bowl of noodles, and a white and plump poached egg was placed in the noodles.
