Qingcheng in February has not yet melted away the frost covered by the harsh winter, and the grass sprouts hiding under the soil are discussing with each other, only a little green and fluffy shadow sprouts, which will be ignored if you are not careful.No matter how pleasant and lovely the sunlight in the air-conditioned room through the glass window is, the moment Lu Yanti opened the door with a tennis racket, he couldn't help shivering a little, in the air-conditioning that unceremoniously enveloped him He shook his head desperately, like a kitten trying to shake off the water droplets that fell into his ears.

"Is it okay if you don't go, I don't think the weather is suitable today." He complained and discussed with Fu Huai who was on the side, trying to hide behind him as much as possible.

"You need to exercise." Fu Huai stood up his lapel for him, and then strode towards the tennis court, which made Lu Yan have to run behind him.He couldn't remember the way to the tennis court, after all.

"I can exercise indoors." Lu Yan Lai Lai Haw trotted all the way. "You can do indoor radio gymnastics, and I still have a Pikachu yoga mat."

"You should get some fresh air, I think you'll lose oxygen if you stay indoors for too long without seeing the sun."

"Huh...do you remember what I wished for my last birthday? I want to be a groundhog. Just dig a hole in the ground and nest in it, eat and eat and live, never need You don’t need to see the sun for exercise. Recently, I discovered another benefit, the groundhog is covered with viruses, which is very safe. Because no one dares to eat me.”

Fu Huai laughed angrily, and knocked him on the head through the hat.

"Yanyan, can you have some ambition? Even if you wish that you don't fail this year's professional courses, it will be more reliable than this."

Lu Yan also secretly smiled, his eyes were almost as innocent as the blue sky above their heads. "I'm not an ambitious person, and I don't have anything I want to do. If it's the biggest wish in this life, it might be to stay by your side."

"What kind of strange wish is this?" They turned a corner at the next intersection and walked down the steps cut out on the side.Apparently no one wants to hang out as much as they do on a chilly morning, and there are yellow foam breakfast boxes at the door of the supermarket with the lid tightly closed.

"Because I don't have any wishes, so I can be lazy and take your wishes as mine, so that others won't say that I'm too lazy to 'I don't even have dreams anymore'. So Fu Huai, what do you want to do?"

Lu Yan hastened a few steps and ran in front of Fu Huai, swinging the racket upside down, his nose was red.

"what?"

"Your wishes, dreams, or other plans."

Fu Huai pretended to be thinking hard.

"Probably to say that you can pass the exam this year."

Lu Yan opened his already big eyes wide as if he didn't believe it.

"Why?" Fu Huai laughed instead, thinking that his appearance really looked like a silly groundhog who was stunned halfway through shouting. "You don't believe me when I tell you, didn't you come to ask me yourself?"

"I didn't expect you to say that." He muttered softly. "But since this is your wish, then I'll show you a pass this year."

Fu Huai hummed a few times in response, trying to hold back a smile.

"I'm telling the truth, I didn't lie to you."

"What a coincidence, I never lie to good-looking people."

"We have arrived."

Lu Yan's skills are limited to serving in the bi-weekly tennis class, and sparring training with his 13-year-old cousin as a last resort.Even superficial compliments are hard to say for such a perfunctory practitioner who plays well.But Fu Huai was indeed a patient trainer, until their short training ended in Lu Yan's leg cramps.

"I didn't do it on purpose, I drank milk recently." Lu Yan sat on the ground, frowning into two caterpillars, trying to move back to avoid Fu Huai's hand massaging him.

Fu Huai's hands are a bit bigger than Lu Yan's, with thin and long fingers, with distinct sections of joints, as exquisite as works of art, hands that painters would love to paint.But Fu Huai's hands are not the kind of decorations that can only be seen. When pinching his calf through his trousers, it feels enough to go around and touch his bones.Lu Yan felt that not only his legs, but his whole body was about to tremble along with that hand.

However, the nerves in his legs were still twitching and sending a signal of poor contact to his brain. Fu Huai half-kneeled on the ground, and the steam from his collar rushed towards his face uneasy and benevolent. It looked like Lu Yan would not let Lu Yan's brain short-circuit.So much so that when Fu Huai asked him if he was okay and told him to stand up and walk around, Lu Yan only heard something buzzing in his ears.

The calf was still hurting, but Lu Yan was dizzy. He grabbed Fu Huai's collar and kissed him on the cheek.

Three weeks later, under the strong request and semi-forced by Lu Yan's new boyfriend, Lu Yan went to the hospital to check the cause of his frequent calf cramps and muscle weakness.After returning home, he told Fu Huai who had finished the class that the doctor had diagnosed him as lacking vitamin D, and then Lu Yan went to the hospital several times secretly. After observing for a few days, Fu Huai felt that something was wrong. The medical records were originally confronted with him.

"What is motor neuron disease?"

"It's about calcium deficiency and vitamin deficiency. Some bad doctors deliberately tell you how serious your illness is so they can prescribe you a lot of medicine. Actually, I know what's going on..." Lu Yan held a cut orange seriously Gnawing on the ground, without looking at him.

Fu Huai didn't speak, just sat beside him silently and watched him eat sweetly.

"Don't you believe it? It's really like this." Lu Yan licked the corner of his mouth, threw the last peel into the trash can, ran to wash his hands for a long time, and splashed water everywhere when he came back.Fu Huai gently wiped the drops of water from his chin, took a knife and cut another orange for him, compared it, and handed over the largest one.

Lu Yan took it and put it in his palm, but didn't eat it.He played with the orange, dripping with its juices, like a three-year-old who would treat it like a novelty toy.

"If I can't move, I can't talk, I can't do anything but think about it," he asked, "and end up lying in bed like an old man, will you cut an orange for me?"

"Yes." Fu Huai said, "As long as you tell me."

"I will gradually lose my ability to speak."

"Then you can use your index finger and thumb to compare a circle to me, and I will know."

"What if I can't move my fingers?"

"Look at me with your eyes, and I'll understand."

"That's it." Lu Yan lowered his head and said, the heavy twilight outside the window pressed heavily on his back, and the darkness gradually deepened with each breath they took. "But I don't want to eat oranges anymore."

"It's okay, I can cut an apple for you to eat."

"I wanted to break up with you."

"I see, it's so tacky."

Fu Huai gently hugged him in his arms, letting him rub all the juice on his back, leaving traces of it.

"Fu Huai, I'm so stupid. I'm sorry, I'm just scared, very scared." Lu Yan clung to him tightly and finally choked up.

"You should never be afraid just because you stay in my arms." Fu Huai's voice was as soft as singing a hymn to a god.

……

Xiao He contacted Lu Yan through a doctor at Qingjing Hospital.

He had been in despair since he had been diagnosed with ALS, or motor neuron disease, commonly known as ALS, a week earlier.Until the doctor who examined him comforted him and told him about a patient he had diagnosed many years ago.

"It probably happened more than ten years ago." The gray-haired doctor tried hard to search for memories, "He can be regarded as a miracle in this disease. The first time he came alone, he was worse than you. Young, less than 20 years old. I didn’t cry when I got the electromyography needle, but I cried and left after confirming the result. In the past few years, his wife accompanied him for several checkups, and the results were all good. Yes, the muscles have not continued to atrophy... It's just that the legs are still not working well. He should be in Qingcheng now, I remember, I'm looking for a phone..." The doctor took off his glasses, and the wrinkles at the corners of his eyes were densely clustered Together.

"Look at him, although it's not easy, it doesn't necessarily mean he will die."

When he got the phone call, Xiao He was both excited and scared. The excitement was because he felt that he was saved, and the fear was because he was afraid that his request would be rejected.

"Hey, who are you looking for?"

The answer from the opposite side was a lazy male voice, and the drawn-out ending sound was naturally a little careless.It seemed that even if the president of the country called him, he would deal with it indifferently and hang up after a few sentences.

"Excuse me, is Mr. Lu Yan Lu there?" Xiao He swallowed.

"Oh." The man's voice was a little louder and more serious. "Wait a minute."

There was a sound of footsteps.

Then Xiao He heard a few cat meows from the microphone, and the sound of music and gymnastics that seemed to come from the TV. The man who just answered the phone was talking to someone.

"Yanyan, don't feed the rhubarb anymore, it ate it this morning."

"Ah, yes, but I see that its plate is empty, and it has been circling around me and wrapping its tail, as if it is still very hungry." This is another clear and clear male voice returning, and the voice is only a few words. Very gentle meaning.

What he said was very innocent.

"Don't worry about it, I have your phone." Then, Xiao He heard a soft "chirp".

No way.

However, it sounded like a kiss, he thought.

Sure enough, the clear male voice was Lu Yan, and his personality was as easy to get along with as his voice. After Xiao He told him that he wanted to visit him, he readily agreed, and also took the initiative to add his WeChat for easy contact.

"Thank you, I have really troubled you." Xiao He thanked repeatedly.

"No trouble, after all, I have experienced the same thing as you." Lu Yan said. "Well, can I take the liberty to ask if you have a lover?"

"No, no." Xiao He didn't expect him to ask this question, so he didn't know how to answer for a while. "You can't say that..."

"That means there is a crush, but I haven't told that person yet." Lu Yan over there laughed, and his laughter was so clear that it reminded people of the endless blue sky.

"Then I have a piece of advice, maybe it has nothing to do with the illness, maybe it has something to do with it, do you want to listen?"

"Go ahead."

"Confess to that person."

"Ah?" Xiao He was completely at a loss.

"No matter what the result is, always try it. In terms of probability, no matter how small your probability of success is, that probability must exist."

After Lu Yan and Xiao He made an appointment to meet, they hung up the phone, and turned around to be embraced by Fu Huai who had been eavesdropping on him.

"Do you really think your experience is useful to him?" Fu Huai habitually helped him put the phone back on the table. "Then you should tell him something like 'what science can't cure, love can cure.'"

"When did I say that?" Lu Yan was surprised.

He went to the balcony to pick up the magazine he had just forgotten on the chair, and the long spider plant hung over his slightly lame right leg.The fat orange cat dozed on his magazine, and the dust in the air shone like stars.

Fifteen years have passed, and he has long been used to his legs, just like he is used to Fu Huai's existence.

"Of course you never said that." Fu Huai chewed half of an apple. "Because I said that."
