little uncle

Humans are creatures of habit.These days, Cheng Yu got used to having someone to accompany him all the time and to obey him in everything, but when he returned to the past, he was so unaccustomed to it, he was in a state of panic all day long.

In the evening, after returning home alone, Cheng Yu would subconsciously look towards the kitchen, but he would never see that busy figure again; The person watching a movie on the sofa; in the morning, he wakes up from the chaos, but there is no breakfast on the table; Home.

Nothing has changed, he still lives in this familiar house, and still lives a peaceful and peaceful life over and over again; everything seems to have changed again, and he returns to those cold, pitiful, lonely times before.Being alone is not terrible, and being alone is nothing, anyway, he has been alone for many years.It's not that he can't bear hardships, let alone that he can't bear loneliness. On the contrary, these are what he is most accustomed to, and even the best at, but loneliness is like him. The desperate loneliness can no longer be tolerated.

Zhou Hongyuan naturally wouldn't disappear out of thin air. He would call from time to time, but he changed his normal behavior and became extremely self-confident and polite. He only asked about ordinary trivial matters, or there was a long period of silence between each other, just like the cutest couple in the world. An ordinary uncle and nephew, alienated and awkward.He would come to Cheng Yu's place occasionally, sometimes bringing some fruits and sometimes vegetables, making distant and cheap advances that were irresistible.Zhou Hongyuan talked a lot less, even when chatting face to face, he always frowned, with a serious look, as if he was not interested, but also as if he was deliberately suppressing it.As a result, it was difficult for Cheng Yu to say anything, so he always lowered his head resentfully and stopped talking.

Sometimes, Cheng Yu would feel disappointed. They were not like this. They could have been closer and happier, but another more rational voice in his heart warned him that it was okay. They were uncles and nephews anyway. Something, out of bounds.

There is a natural moat between them, and this natural moat is time, the world, and Cheng Yu himself.

Although City J is located in the north, it is known as a stove. It is extremely hot in summer, and clouds hang in the air, as if they are about to fall. S University has been established for a long time, and the campus is dilapidated. In some classrooms, let alone the air conditioners, even the fans are often turned off. Cheng Yu took classes in the big classroom for an entire afternoon, not only shouting at the top of his voice, but also talking on the blackboard. He wrote the derivation process all over the place, sweat dripped down his hair, and his shirt was even soaked.He didn't realize it during class, but when he got home at night, he felt uncomfortable. He collapsed powerlessly on the sofa in the living room, his head was buzzing with echoes, his limbs were also very vacant, and he didn't even have the strength to cook. Unable to get up, I just wanted to rest at first, but as soon as my hair became heavy, I fell into a drowsy sleep.

Cheng Yu felt as if he was riding on a thick dark cloud. The feeling of floating around could not be said to be bad, but he didn't land or land, and he was not at ease.When he regained consciousness, there were knocks on the door. Cheng Yu struggled to get up, but felt dizzy. He wiped his face vigorously, and gradually regained some clarity. Then he heard the phone vibrate on the coffee table As he spoke, Cheng Yu shook his head vigorously a few times, picked up the phone, only to realize that it was Zhou Hongyuan calling.

The knock on the door was still ringing, and the phone kept ringing again. Cheng Yu answered the phone in a panic, struggling to get up, and said, "Hey, Hongyuan, wait a moment, someone is knocking on the door."

Zhou Hongyuan heaved a long sigh of relief when he heard his voice, and the knocking on the door stopped, and then Cheng Yu heard Zhou Hongyuan say to him on the phone, "Uncle, don't worry, I'm outside. "

Cheng Yu was stunned, a stream of warmth ran through his blood, and the uncontrollable joy exploded from the bottom of his heart like a small firework. He hung up the phone and waited for a long time before opening the door.As soon as the door was opened, Zhou Hongyuan hugged Cheng Yu forcefully into his arms. Cheng Yu froze for a few seconds before putting his hand on Zhou Hongyuan's back, and he gently stroked Zhou Hongyuan's broad Body, asked softly, "What's wrong?"

Zhou Hongyuan shook his head, but hugged the person in his arms even tighter, until Cheng Yu was almost out of breath, Zhou Hongyuan let him go.Zhou Hongyuan frowned, "What's the matter with you? You didn't answer the phone call, and you didn't answer the door—I thought something happened to you."

It was only then that Cheng Yu realized that it was already nine o'clock, and he was accidentally broken for several hours.He bit his lip, not wanting to worry Zhou Hongyuan, and explained guiltily, "I'm just sleepy and fell asleep."

Zhou Hongyuan took Cheng Yu's hand, and the two sat on the sofa together, and said solemnly, "After get off work at 05:30, sleep until eight o'clock?"

Cheng Yu pursed his lips. He was not good at lying, not to mention that the person opposite him was Zhou Hongyuan, who would fall short if he said too much.

Zhou Hongyuan was still worried. He looked at Cheng Yu's cheek suspiciously, looking left and right, feeling abnormal, "Uncle, your complexion is very bad... why don't you go to the hospital?"

After hearing this, Cheng Yu waved his hands and said deliberately, "Go to the kitchen and help me cook something. I'm a little hungry. I've had three classes today, so I'm really tired."

Zhou Hongyuan had no choice but to go to the kitchen to work.Cheng Yu saw that he was gone, so he walked to the bathroom staggeringly with flimsy steps, and retched a few times towards the toilet.

Cheng Yu took a deep breath, turned on the water pipe, flushed his face, and when he raised his face, he found himself in the mirror with red eyes, a pale and aging face, and messy hair piled on his head like weeds , mixed with tufts of white hair.

During the meal, Zhou Hongyuan couldn't take care of himself, he was busy serving food for Cheng Yu for a while, and wanted to see Cheng Yu's face for a while.But Cheng Yu didn't like him, and buried his head deeply in a clumsy manner, hiding in the darkness.

It was past ten o'clock after dinner, and the two tacitly did not mention Zhou Hongyuan's departure.Zhou Hongyuan was worried about Cheng Yu, but what about Cheng Yu?From the bottom of his heart, he didn't want Zhou Hongyuan to leave at all.

During the meal, Cheng Yu was already trying his best to keep up, his stomach was full of nausea, which almost reached his throat, his head seemed to gather thousands of flies, yelling at him non-stop, and his limbs were more like gulping. After soaking in lead water, every tiny movement will take a lot of effort from the boss.

After eating, Cheng Yu couldn't hold on any longer and went back to his room to rest without stopping.After lying on the bed for only a few minutes, it was like sinking into the deep sea, without consciousness.

Zhou Hongyuan pushed open the door. He sat beside Cheng Yu's bed for a long time, looking at the moonlight outside the window, and painted every part of Cheng Yu's skin with his eyes, greedy and tireless. Finally, he let out an inaudible sigh.
