crush again

"Ye Lang," Huo Yang stood beside the bed, "I have something to do, so I have a three-day business trip."

The person being called had an unlit cigarette in his mouth, leaning against the bedside to read a book, without looking up.

"I'm still in the startup stage, and there are too many things to be busy with. I can't push this time."

Ye Lang turned a page of the book.Fortunately, Huo Yang has long been used to his attitude, and continued: "But, alas, I can't let go. Can you eat on time after I leave?"

"..."

He sighed, "You remember to take Dabai for a walk twice a day. I think it is the same as you. It has lost energy recently. Don't be bored in the house all the time. Go to the supermarket and buy something delicious."

"..."

"But you are not allowed to buy cigarettes or alcohol. I will check the surveillance. If you dare to do anything, I will—" Huo Yang picked through threats of various levels, and found that not to mention the top ten tortures in the Qing Dynasty, he was fierce with his mouth. I was very reluctant, so I had to play hooligan with bitterness and joy, "I will kiss you. Don't you hate eating melon? I will bring a mouthful of melon flavor to kiss you, believe it or not."

Ye Lang's ears were ventilated, and he didn't lift his eyelids.

Huo Yang said to him almost coaxingly: "Be good, okay? Don't torment me."

He looked down at Ye Lang for a long time, but couldn't help but smoke the cigarette from his mouth.Ye Lang continued to pretend to be dead, the person in front of him bent down and touched the corner of his mouth lightly.

Brings a bitter, burnt tobacco smell.

"I just started smoking," Huo Yang said, "Let me satisfy your craving."

He wanted to leave, but when he saw Ye Lang licking his lips, he couldn't move for a moment, and he was stunned for a while before he remembered to leave.

Xi'an is not far away, and the flight only takes two hours.But it's too far away, there are thousands of mountains and rivers, and there are still empty mobile phone screens.

Huo Yang and the host spent most of the day in the meeting room, and also watched a sports car cross-country rally.It was normal when talking and laughing and talking about business, but everyone soon discovered that every meal time, he had to make a phone call before eating, and then hang up without saying a word, like some kind of cult ritual.Only when he was staring at the screen, there was a little unconcealable loneliness on his face.

Old Zheng knew the inside story, so he quickly explained for him: "The child of a relative's family ran away from home, and he is in a hurry."

The other party seemed suspicious, "Oh? Have you found it?"

"I got it back, but I'm a bit stupid..."

Huo Yang shouted: "What nonsense! Depression!"

Old Zheng nodded vigorously, "Yes, yes, depression."

Seeing that the other party became more and more suspicious, with the expression "other people's children don't care about him is just an excuse", and he was about to suspect that they were already insolvent and wanted to cheat money, Lao Zheng had a flash of inspiration: "Two people talk In love!"

In his mouth, Huo Yang has transformed from a young and promising entrepreneurial youth into a scum who guards himself, steals and kills minors.

After ten o'clock in the evening, he lay on the bed in the hotel and looked at his phone several times. Ye Lang didn't send any text messages or call back for the whole day.His mobile phone was indeed turned off all day long, and Huo Yang called the landlines in the bathroom, living room and study room, but never picked it up once.

Huo Yang Gulu got up from the bed, began to regret that he was on a business trip, paced back and forth in the room a few times, and called the property management of the community.

"Hello? Hello, I'm the owner of Building X... There seems to be something wrong with the electric meter in my house, and it runs very fast. Can you send someone to take a look? I know it's late, mainly because I have to go to work tomorrow. No, it's really troublesome..." Huo Yang listened nervously, and thanked repeatedly, "Okay, okay, thank you."

After waiting anxiously for half an hour, the electric meter worker called again, "Hello, there seems to be no one in your house, and no one answered when I knocked on the door."

"No one?" Huo Yang yelled and changed his tune, "Is the light on in the room?!"

The electric meter worker was taken aback, "Okay, it seems to be on..."

- No one is home but the lights are on!

There was a rumble in Huo Yang's mind, and he really tasted what it means to be heartbroken, and he almost couldn't grasp the phone several times.He rushed to the edge of the desk, and while packing his things, he said anxiously, "There is a relative who is suicidal at home, and he can't be contacted now."The master worker was shocked, and hurriedly said to him, "I will call the police now and try to get in. Don't worry."

The documents on the entire table were frantically rolled into the bag by Huo Yang, and he didn't even bother to sort them out.After packing his backpack in a hurry, he browsed through the nearest flights again, taking deep breaths while flipping down the page.

"Wait, wait..." He reluctantly told himself, "It doesn't have to be an accident, wait for the call over there."

Huo Yang waited for the most torturous four or ten minutes in his life. Several times he couldn't help but grabbed his backpack and rushed out. Then he thought of the importance of this trip. The partner in the next room, he wanted to take care of Ye Langkuang As a worker, he could only struggle like a trapped animal in the house.

I don't know how long it took, the phone that was adjusted to the highest volume rang, Huo Yang rushed over, and answered the phone immediately: "How is it!"

There was no reply immediately, and when he was about to yell out, Ye Lang's voice sounded like heaven, "...it's me."

"Fuck!" He cursed, his mood was ups and downs like a roller coaster, and now he couldn't calm down and yelled almost brokenly, "Where did you go?! Why didn't you call back!"

There were rustling noises, paper bags being torn and pet dogs whimpering. Ye Lang said hesitantly, "I took Dabai out this morning to have a look. He wasn't in a good mood, and then I went for a casual stroll in Houhai. Shopping, I just came back from eating out at night. You... called?"

"I gave you dozens of shots!" Huo Yang's wrists kept shaking, and the fear in his subconscious was like a dormant beast, hollowing out his chest in an instant.

He didn't even dare to imagine that if something happened to Ye Lang...

There was also silence for a long time, "I'm sorry, I will bring my mobile phone next time. You...don't cry."

"Who the hell is crying!" Huo Yang's voice was so hoarse that he couldn't speak, he could only shout hoarsely, "Get out of the house now, and I'll ask you what you ate today!"

"Then wait a minute, I'll return the phone first." Ye Lang hung up the phone.

After a while, Huo Yang came out after washing his face. He lay back on the bed and picked up Ye Lang's phone, but he still didn't make a sound, "You kid can do it, but you still ran out. Bullying me can't check the monitoring, right?"

"I really didn't smoke or drink today." Ye Lang reported the name of the meal, "Just now the meter check made a mistake. The light from the neighbor's house shined on the glass on the second floor. He thought the light was on. I It’s daytime when we go out, where’s the light?”

He said a lot of things in one breath, and added: "You really...you call the police, what if everyone picks the lock forcibly, sees the basement, and finds out that I am a pervert?"

"You are not a pervert," Huo Yang sniffed, "You are my wife."

This "daughter-in-law" was whispered by him in a Beijing movie, which was not serious, affectionate, and reckless and domineering, as if declaring sovereignty.

Ye Lang didn't say a word, Huo Yang didn't care what he thought, and continued on his own: "My daughter-in-law is mine. No one can take it away, not depression, not your uncle, brother, sister, or any other messed up person." Do you understand? If you understand, just give me a chirp."

Ye Lang guessed that he didn't dare to provoke him, so he let out a "chat" helplessly.

"I'm telling you, I'm going back tomorrow. I'm fucking quitting." Huo Yang shouted into the phone, "Your days are over! Cry!"

He was going crazy here, Ye Lang sighed, trying to comfort him, "Okay, just as long as you are happy."

Huo Yang pestered him and talked for a long time, Huo Yang thought that he really made his money back today, what Ye Lang said was probably a month's worth, and finally forced him to "tweet" on the phone.

"Well, you go to bed." Uncle Huo showed mercy, saying that he was serving well today, "Remember to destroy the evidence at home, and don't let me see any contraband, or I will fulfill my promise before I left. "

"Very good, change the lock tomorrow." Ye Lang told him a few more words and hung up the phone.

On the second day, the things to be discussed were basically finished, and the receptionist took them on a tour.Huo Yang used a set of euphemistic excuses, saying that his parents had no one to take care of him at home, and he wanted to make a statement, crying.So I booked an evening ticket and arrived in Beijing at eight or nine o'clock.

After getting off the plane, there was a bleak autumn rain in Beijing, the first thing Huo Yang did was to send a text message to Ye Lang.There was a quick reply, with a very bad tone: "I'm sleeping, it's so noisy."

"What time do you still go to bed, won't you sleep at night?" Huo Yang typed, "Did you set an exclusive ringtone for me, dear."

Over there, he expressed his honesty bluntly: "Big idiot."

Huo Yang really laughed like an idiot for a long time, "I'm so angry about getting up. I don't care about you for now, I'll deal with you when I go back."

After a while, Ye Lang replied: "I'm going to see Dabai. It rained a little while walking today, and it doesn't look very energetic."

"You go." Huo Yang turned off the screen and nestled in the back seat of the taxi.

He looked at the dripping lights outside the car window, and it didn't take long for him to be in An Xin's state, when Ye Lang's call suddenly flickered, flickering on and off quickly.When Huo Yang picked it up, he didn't realize anything, "What's wrong?"

"Dabai! It's not moving!" Ye Lang's voice was very chaotic, "It...it seems to have stopped breathing—"

Huo Yang sat up straight in shock, "Wait a minute! What's wrong with it? Take your time!"

"..." The voice in the receiver was chaotic, Ye Lang seemed to be suppressing his panic, and suddenly said firmly, "I'm going to the hospital!"

Huo Yang listened to the "beep beep" in the phone receiver, and even the sound became unclear.He looked at the pouring rain outside the window and swallowed, "Master, there is something urgent at home, can you hurry up?"

The taxi driver clicked his tongue and pointed to the front window of the car. The red taillights spread for several miles in the dark night, "There is a traffic jam on a rainy day, so I can't go fast. The elevated road is blocked into an auto show."

Huo Yang really couldn't laugh, the master saw his ugly face, and added: "It's not safe to walk too fast, I'll try my best, don't worry."

Relying on the aura of driving a bumper car, the driver master finally dashed out of the third ring.Huo Yang threw two one-hundred sheets and rushed into the heavy rain without asking for change.

The wind is blowing and the rain is dark, and the freezing chill is forced into the body layer by layer, bringing with it the desolation of late autumn that penetrates into the bone marrow.After a while, Huo Yang's fingertips were stinging from the cold. He ran towards the pet hospital, and soon saw the shiny glass door and the bright daylight, as well as a shadow on the steps that was not illuminated by the light.

He paused, and then started running wildly.

"Don't you know how to hold an umbrella!" Huo Yang rushed in front of him, bent over tiredly, and took a long time to recover, "You, can you go home with me first? Either you go in and sit, it's warm inside. "

Ye Lang was holding something in his arms, his face was buried in it, and he didn't move.

Huo Yang first went to the hospital to borrow an umbrella, opened it for him, and took off the scarf.Just as his fingers touched the skin on the side of Ye Lang's neck, he shrank his hand violently due to the ice.

This lunatic is actually soaked through!

Huo Yang quickly took off his coat, and by the light, he saw that Ye Lang was only wearing pajamas.

As if stimulated by the warmth surrounding him, Ye Lang shuddered violently, and finally raised his head.He was really in a mess, the rain kept streaming down his forehead, but he didn't think to wipe it off, he just hugged the weak and small Pekingese in his arms.

Huo Yangsheng was afraid that he would say "Dabai still wants to play outside", so he quietly stretched out his hand, passed through Dabai's fur, and pinched its already cold neck.

No sound.

"...after it took diazepam," Ye Lang coughed, and said in a hoarse voice, "he has been in poor health. He is 11 years old, and he is also old. I didn't expect...today..."

"Let's go back first." Huo Yang held an umbrella for him, "Can you stand up?"

Ye Lang stood up according to his words, and staggered a little, but before Huo Yang helped him, he stood still.He put on Huo Yang's coat, hugged the dog, and walked forward without saying a word. Huo Yang called a car, but failed to force him into it, so he could only follow him step by step.

When he was next to him, Huo Yang felt like a big ice block with long legs beside him, without a trace of heat.He was so anxious that he finally got home, opened the door and turned on the light, and saw that Ye Lang's lips were purple with cold.

Ye Lang wobbled forward a few steps, swayed to the edge of the kennel, like a robot that should be lubricated, bent down step by step, and put Dabai into the kennel stiffly.

Only then did he tremble, exhale a long breath, and finally came back to life.

Huo Yang drove him into the bathroom to take a bath, cleaned up the muddy footprints, and the rain-soaked wet clothes of the two of them.He took out the cold medicine again and boiled a large cup of hot water.

After taking a shower, Ye Lang drank the medicine he had prepared, and looked up at him, "Go and take a shower."

Seeing that he finally spoke, Huo Yang breathed a sigh of relief, and looked down at himself, "Then I will use your bathroom."

Ye Lang let out a "hmm".

When Huo Yang came out after wiping his hair, he was already lying in bed, resting his head on his hands, staring at the ceiling in a daze.Huo Yang hesitated and didn't move, Ye Lang turned his head and patted the side calmly, "Come here."

Huo Yang immediately stepped up, got into his bed, packed him into his arms like an octopus, and said in his mouth: "You are too cold, I will warm you up."

"I'll show you something." Ye Lang tolerated him, took the remote control to turn off all the lights in the house, and pressed several buttons on the floor lamp.Suddenly, there was a device humming softly, and a large high-definition starry sky projected on the entire ceiling and wall.

A dense silver-white galaxy spans the entire room, countless light spots flicker, and large clusters of nebulae slowly change, gold and powder blue and purple, flowing alchemy and melting green.The night sky is complex and gorgeous, blue and black in the dark and deep purple in the bright.

Huo Yang was dumbfounded, "This, this black technology is a bit powerful... Where did you get it?"

"Chu Zhongxiao made it for me, and I don't know." Ye Lang pointed out which constellation was which, and he could also change the angle of view to zoom in and out.Huo Yang asked him to find the earth, and Ye Lang directly input a series of three-dimensional coordinates, the light and shadow in front of him flowed backwards at an extremely fast speed, making people dizzy.

An icy blue planet appeared, occupying most of the ceiling.Quiet, beautiful, silent rotation.

"Chu Zhongxiao?" Huo Yang took the remote control and played with it, and said casually, "I haven't seen her for a long time."

"A few years ago, I had some mental problems. I didn't treat them at first, and bought a bunch of sleeping pills. At that time, it looked normal on the surface, but in fact, my way of thinking changed. I went to extremes and lived day by day. Very dazed." Ye Lang seemed to suddenly open the chatterbox, leaning on his arm, chatting nonchalantly, "Until one day, I suddenly jumped out of the car and realized that things were a little serious."

"I went to see a psychiatrist, but I didn't have time for long-term treatment, so I found a treatment center and used a short course of forced treatment. I almost went crazy. Later, I took a leave of absence for more than half a year. During that time, Chu Zhong Xiao is dealing with various things about my work, she is already busy enough, but she didn't complain a single word."

"Brother was framed and left when I was taking medicine. When Chu Zhongxiao temporarily took over my family, my sister also left. No one told me, so Chu Zhongxiao just carried it." Ye Lang said, "I When I came back, I found this thing in the bedroom."

Huo Yang turned his head and stared at him under the gentle starlight, "Then what's the matter with your illness? Is there a crux? If you find the crux, will it be cured?"

"Too much." Ye Lang shook his head, thought for a moment and then said, "My father passed away early. Grandpa was too strict with me, my uncle ran on me, and people always said that he framed my father. My mother... My own mother passed away that year, during the military training, didn't I suddenly disappear? She left at that time."

Huo Yang looked down at the silver chain around his neck, "Then this..."

Ye Lang smiled, "Well, she left it for me. I treated her very badly and never said a single kind word. Wearing this... can be regarded as an apology."

Huo Yang stretched out two fingers, forced him to straighten the corners of his mouth, and frowned, "Don't laugh like that."

Ye Lang then withdrew the arc of the corner of his mouth and looked at him quietly, with the little Huo Yang's face fixed in his two pupils.

Being looked at by him like this, Huo Yang couldn't help but move in the blue starlight on the bed, and then moved again, talking to him in a whisper, "At that time... your mental problems were caused by What symptoms?"

Ye Lang can answer every question, "Anxiety, high tension, especially fear of losing control of myself and the things around me. I also have visual and auditory hallucinations. When I am in a trance, I will see a lot of bloody things. Once I Sitting in the office, I had hallucinations, thinking that I had really opened the window and jumped off the building, and finally returned to reality suddenly. There is also compulsion, and I keep speculating about the maliciousness of the people around me... that's it."

"Then are you still like this now," Huo Yang asked, "when you were with me?"

"It's much better. Occasionally I have a nightmare." Ye Lang pulled the quilt for him, "Is there anything else you want to ask?"

Huo Yang also leaned on his arms, "I still have a lot to ask, but I don't want to expose your scars. Tell me where you went on vacation?"

Ye Lang then told him the story.The gondola in Venice floats on the sparkling river; the clear sea water of Santorini, the blue and white mountaintop room is like a fire-like sunset.Glaciers in South America, fjords in Northern Europe.In foggy October in London, the cobblestone roads are mottled with never-drying water; the streets and alleys of Paris are full of old book stalls, spice shops and bakeries, and the Eiffel Tower suddenly lights up when night falls.Nepalese Buddhist temples full of flying birds, countless bars and nightclubs on the streets of New York...

When he talked about the Sakura Festival in Japan in April, Huo Yang's eyes lit up, "April? I've been there too. What year did you go?"

When Ye Lang mentioned the year, Huo Yang became more and more surprised, "I also went in that year. I went to Nara on April [-]rd and Tokyo on April [-]th."

"I arrived in Tokyo on April [-]th."

"Fuck..." Huo Yang murmured, "I almost saw you."

Ye Lang asked: "Have you ever been to Yuanshan Park?"

Huo Yang nodded, "Yes."

"Then I'm not mistaken." He smiled, "I saw you there."

"Fuck!" Huo Yang stood up abruptly, his eyes widened, "You saw me?! Why didn't I know! You—"

"Why are you excited? Lie down." Ye Lang pulled him down, "I didn't recognize you at first. When I was queuing up to buy wagashi, I watched you for a long time."

Huo Yang grabbed his collar and howled in despair: "Why didn't you say hello to me!"

"You..." Ye Lang paused, "You were flirting with a girl."

Huo Yang, "..."

He blinked several times, "What nonsense, I don't remember."

Ye Lang's memory is so good that it is annoying, so he immediately described it to him, "You are very short, the top of your head just reaches your chin, short chestnut hair, and fair skin. I heard you two communicating in English, it should be a Japanese girl, The voice is lovely..."

Huo Yang has provoked quite a few crazy bees, waves and butterflies over the years, so he didn't think about it anymore, and immediately interrupted him: "Who are you calling cute? Who are you calling cute? Watch out for the wrong words and I'll tell you."

Ye Lang stopped talking, the corners of his mouth curled up.

"..." Huo Yang cleared his throat for the sake of answering Ye Lang's questions, "Well, I have, over the years, a few girlfriends."

"several?"

He pretended not to hear, "It's just a gust of wind, and the year is the longest. After all, I'm running around and don't want to settle down..."

"How many girlfriends?"

"Hey!" Huo Yang shouted angrily.

Ye Lang looked at him innocently, "Anyway, I haven't had anyone in these years."

"Two! Just two!" He confessed unwillingly, "You really beat me."

"Oh, it's all progressed to the last step?"

"I'm going to be on my way to the third day. If I haven't done it before, I must be sick." Huo Yang gritted his teeth, "Why don't we try it? Don't worry, my skills are pretty good."

Ye Lang was laughing, and there was a low vibration in his chest.Huo Yang counterattacked immediately, "It's your turn, confess. Hurry up."

"Me?" He turned over, thought about it nonchalantly, and said nonchalantly, "There are a few friends, a while ago..."

"Pao, friend!" Huo Yang snarled, pounced on Ye Lang's burst of laughter, and grabbed his collar viciously, "I can't see that you are quite a prostitute! Ah?! Today you have explained clearly to me: Who, what is their name, what do they do, do you still have contact information?"

Ye Lang was about to be crushed to death by him, so he quickly waved his hands, "Just kidding, it's nothing like that. It's really nothing like this!"

"Are you kidding?" Huo Yang lowered his head and pressed the tip of his nose, "What about before?"

"If you are young and ignorant, you will play around," Ye Lang explained, "You also know that a bunch of rich second generations have not learned well. Now we have lost contact."

Huo Yang still stared at him, "Male or female?"

"There are men and women." After Ye Lang finished speaking, seeing that his face was about to change again, he straightened up suddenly and quickly blocked his mouth.

He immediately fell silent.

Ye Lang blocked him for a while, made sure that he would not make any more noise, so he let go, and lifted him off his body, "Lie down."

Huo Yang let out an "oh" and lay down.

After lying down for a few minutes, he came up again, "Just now that... that... do it again?"

The author has something to say:

No more chapters, so be it

Anyway, it's not far from doing big things :)
