This meal lasted until almost ten o'clock, and when the show was over, Qiulu's colleagues were still a little unsatisfied.

Qiu Lu and Fang Huo went to the door to see off people first, and those who were far away from home and had no cars called cars for them. It was past eleven o'clock when the last one was sent away.

Qiu Lu breathed a sigh of relief, and left the air-conditioned room. After standing outside for a while, he began to sweat, so he said to Fang Huo, "I'll go to the bathroom to wash my hands."

"Well," Fang Huo nodded, "I'll wait for you in the lobby."

Qiu Lu went into the bathroom and was stunned for a moment, thinking that it is a high-end hotel with a discount card and the average per capita is four figures. This is a place to go to the bathroom that would be bigger than his entire home.

Turning the knob and pouring some cold water on his face, he took out a tissue and wiped it off carefully. When he looked up at the mirror in front of the sink, Qiu Lu was still thinking, should he find a way to change to a bigger house? .

At that time, I came to City B in a hurry, so I chose the one without much choice. The main reason was that it was cheap. Now that I think about it, there are actually many shortcomings. For example, it is too far away from Fang Huo’s company, and every time he comes back, he is very late. For another example, there are too few places to eat around, and every time I want to go downstairs for an extra meal at night, I can't find a place.

Now that the two of them are not short of money, it is time to improve their quality of life, otherwise they will still be like Fang Huo when he went to school.

He was thinking about something, and when he looked up, he was startled by another face printed in the mirror.

It was a man who had just come out of the toilet inside, wearing a suit, and was bending over to wash his hands by the sink on the left of Qiulu.

Qiulu is not a person who is surprised at first glance. He would not be frightened by the sudden addition of another person beside him while washing his hands. It's just that this man's face...is really too unusual.

The man looked to be in his 40s at most, but his temples had slightly white hair, and his face was covered with large and small scars. The most heart-stopping thing was that his lips seemed to be cut off alive. It caused the entire lower half of the face to be distorted in a weird way, making it impossible to recognize the original appearance.

It's not polite to stare at a stranger, but Qiulu couldn't help but let his gaze rest on his face for more than ten seconds.

As if feeling the gaze from the side, the man turned his head and met Qiulu's eyes straight.

Only then did Qiulu realize that one of his eyes was a little dull, as if he had no focus, while the other, after seeing Qiulu, slightly dilated the pupil.

Qiu Lu was stunned for a moment, a chill ran up his spine, he turned his head quickly, said "sorry" and left the bathroom quickly.

There were too many people and things to care about, so the strange man he met in the bathroom didn't occupy Qiulu's mind for long.

That night Qiulu took a shower and lay on the bed playing with his mobile phone. After a while, the bed sank, and someone touched it.

After 5 minutes, Qiulu finished a round and lost, and he lost his head all over the place, so he took his anger out on the person whose hands started to behave unruly again.

He threw the phone away, turned around and couldn't help but said, "You... You don't have to be afraid of kidney deficiency if you do this every day."

Fang Huo gave a "puchi" laugh and said, "My kidneys are very good."

From his right arm to his left arm, he didn't even feel a few ounces of flesh, "Brother Lu, you need to make up more."

"Get out," Qiulu felt that his dignity as a man was being ridiculed, and suddenly became angry from embarrassment. The air conditioner under him was turned on again and again, wrapping himself like a caterpillar, rolling away, A muffled voice came from inside: "I think you will die sooner or later."

Fang Huo couldn't help laughing, and knocked on him through a layer of quilt, "Didn't you lose just now? Bring the phone here, and I will teach you how to call."

Qiulu was quiet for two seconds, then threw off the quilt, her face flushed from suffocation—partly from lack of oxygen, partly from anger.

He threw the phone to Fang Huo, and said, "Just use my phone to play, kneel for three rounds in a row, and help me win it back."

Fang Huo made a "hmm" sound, propping up his two long legs casually, his skin exuded fresh water vapor, which hadn't mixed with Qiu Lu's shower gel.

He clicked on a new game.

Qiu Lu looked at it for a while, and realized that the unilateral and unsuspecting abuse of food was not very interesting, so he touched Fang Huo's phone that was thrown aside, intending to use his phone to look at other things.

In the end, he couldn't open it after pressing it twice. Qiu Lu poked him, "Is there a password? Boss, how many secrets are there in the phone?"

"It's nothing secret," Fang Huo took the time to glance at him, "The password is your birthday."

Qiulu didn't speak anymore, and entered the four-digit number with red ears, and it opened as expected.

Fang Huo's lock screen interface is very clean, it is a piece of blue sky and white clouds, Qiu Lu can't see anything special, and thinks that this may be a picture he downloaded casually from the Internet.

But after clicking in, he immediately understood where it was. If the blue sky and white clouds are the same all over the world, but there is only one place with that kind of attic and sea.

Qiu Lu stared blankly at the picture for a long time, knowing that Fang Huo's abuse of food had ended, he said in a low voice, "Have you been back to City C?"

"Well," Fang Huo lowered his eyes and looked at the picture on his phone, "I go back every year."

Qiulu couldn't speak, but felt his throat was congested.

After a long time, he said, "Go back together next time."

"it is good."

The game was over, and it was a quiet night, and it was rare that they didn't do what adults should do. The two of them lay side by side, talking one after another.

When talking about the attic, Qiulu suddenly remembered his plan to change residences, so he told Fang Huo about it.

Fang Huo naturally had no objection, saying that tomorrow he could ask someone to help him choose.

"There's no need for them to go," Qiulu said, "I'm not busy these days, so I'll go by myself."

"That's fine," Fang Huo said, "choose what you like."

After a while, he suddenly laughed and said, "Brother Lu, you don't know, I actually had a wish a long time ago."

"What is it?" He asked like this, but his heartbeat started to speed up quietly.

Fang Huo looked up at the ceiling, with a smile on the corner of his mouth, and said slowly, "I just come to City B with you, renting a small house may be a bit hard at first...but after I finish college, I can find a Work and make you fat."

Qiulu felt warm in his heart, but he didn't show it too much on his face. He smiled and said seriously, "Your idea is too dangerous. You support me, so I don't have to work? Do you still think I'm at home? Wash your clothes, cook for you, take care of your children..."

"No, cooking or something, how is it possible... Ahhh, don't pinch me!"

Qiu Lu angrily let go of the hand that was pinching Fang Huo's arm, and only then did he catch his breath with a smile, and continued, "But if you have a child, if you can give birth, you may already—"

Qiulu turned over and used [-]% of his strength to press him down with the most skilled grasping hand he learned back then, blushing so much that he was about to bleed, "Fuck, who the hell did you learn from?!"

After making a fuss for most of the night, I went to sleep.

After spending too much energy during the day, Qiu Lu fell into a deep sleep almost as soon as he touched the pillow.

He had many dreams.

Probably because of the photo tonight, he went back to a few years ago along with the dream.

Floating in mid-air, watching myself playing with everyone when I was young, there are familiar scenes and people everywhere in restaurants, on the beach, next to schools, snack streets, and hot pot restaurants.

He couldn't help laughing along with the person in the dream, smiling and laughing, but the painting style changed, and a man appeared in front of him, with a thin body in a suit and leather shoes, and his mouth was so greasy that people wanted to beat him up.

Even though it was in a dream, Qiu Lu immediately sank his face, wanting to take advantage of this illusory scene to do something he couldn't do - press him to beat him to death!

But as soon as he stepped forward, he froze.

The man's face turned around, and there were large and small scars all over his face, only his eyes were the same as before, and there was a lot of hatred in it.

Qiulu felt that the blood all over his body was congealed, and with a cry of alarm, he sat up abruptly from the bed.

Cold sweat broke out all over his body, his heart was beating wildly, and it was only relieved by pressing his hands on it.

He thought he had lived heartless enough in his two lifetimes, but when he thought of this man, his mind buzzed, as if it went blank all of a sudden.

For nothing else but because this man is the beginning of everything -- not the source, just the beginning.

Qiulu is not a person who can think about many things, he is a little bit convinced that this matter is like this, and he will always remember it.

No matter how you don't care, it's all over, but the feeling of being hit by a car and flying out is always uncomfortable.

The people around him also woke up immediately. When they saw Qiu Lu sitting up, they hugged them over, "What's the matter, Brother Lu? Did you have a nightmare?"

"No," Qiu Lu shook his head, still a little shocked, thinking of the man he saw in the bathroom at night, after thinking about it, he said, "Xiao Huo, I... I seem to have seen Peng Ze today."

Fang Huo was taken aback, his expression became serious, "Tell me slowly, where did you see it?"

Qiu Lu told the story of meeting that man in the bathroom, and said, "His face is blurred, I can't recognize him, but when I was dreaming just now, I seemed to dream of him..."

At the end, he swallowed, his shoulders still trembling slightly.

Fang Huo's eyes sank, he reached out to touch his back, followed slowly, and said softly, "Don't be afraid, I'm here."
