Surrounded

"I'm really sorry, Mr. Lin, it's the Chinese New Year tomorrow, so I'm going to trouble you to come to the school to help today."

"Director, you are polite, I have nothing to do at home."

"This year is also a person to celebrate the New Year? I remember that your lover has been away on business for more than a year?"

"Ah, more than a year."

"It's not easy for a young couple...By the way, have you read the news, Wuhan is locked down!"

"See, this new crown virus is really menacing."

"Isn't that right, don't go out if you're fine, we have a lot of confirmed cases in H City!"

"Don't worry, Director. Then I'll go first. Happy New Year."

"Happy New Year, Teacher Lin!"

It was getting dark when I left the school gate, and there were very few people on the street. Maybe it was affected by the epidemic, and the atmosphere of the New Year was not strong, but it seemed to be the same for Lin Lu, anyway, it was probably the same in previous years.He walked around the vegetable market twice wearing a mask. Vegetable prices have risen a lot as the Chinese New Year approaches, but they all look fresh, and he probably just restocked in the afternoon.When he realized this, Lin Lu suddenly felt a little funny. Since when did he start paying attention to these human fireworks? No wonder Shen Xin complained about him a while ago, saying that after he was hooked up by her brother, he went down to earth with him. It seems that there is no aloof attitude at all.

When have I ever been superior?Lin Lu couldn't help but slander.

He returned home with two big bags of things, and when he opened the door, a fat British short cat named Sweet and Sour Tenderloin ran over at random steps, so enthusiastic that he felt as if he was living under a fence. Lin Lu took off his scarf and threw it on the sofa. Vinegar tenderloin jumped to the sofa without saying a word.

"Don't scratch the scarf." Lin Lu pulled the sweet and sour pork into his arms, "If you scratch the scarf, I'll smash your father's studio."

Good guy, I'm even more excited, no wonder Zhou Zhuo called it the Nizi.

This scarf is actually quite ugly, but Lin Lu's baby is like a lifeline.He moved back to Ye Shijian's house when he returned from Myanmar. The scarf he found in the bedroom at that time had already been knitted for more than half, and the remaining half was made up after he asked Shen Xinzhi how to stitch it. At that time, Shen Xinzhi knew about the two of them.

In other words, from that day on, as the other half, he really took on Ye Shijian's burden.

The Chinese New Year atmosphere in the news is quite strong, Lin Lu thought he would not be touched, but the result was not satisfactory.For more than a year, he and Ye Shijian had no contact at all, and some necessary information was conveyed by Zhao Ruiming. He couldn't explain why, but he always felt that even if he just heard the other party's voice, they would not be able to persevere. .

He believed that Ye Shijian would come back, and Ye Shijian believed that he would be waiting for him.

There has been a heated discussion in the teacher's WeChat group. From tomorrow's New Year's Eve dinner to the latest epidemic situation, and from complaining about the program list of the Spring Festival Gala to the fact that the red envelope sent by the director is too small, Lin Lu happily snatched 8.8 yuan, but it turned out to be the best luck , being coaxed by Shen Xinzhi to send back the red envelope Solitaire, Lin Lu smiled, and sent out an 10 in a huff, now it's all right, the director is happy, take a look, I sent [-] yuan at least, Mr. Lin compared I'm also stingy.

What followed was a long series of "Mr. Lin, you have changed".

Lin Lu had fun on his mobile phone for a while, and quit to browse Moments. The first post was posted by Yan Chi 2 minutes ago, with a picture of a table of big dishes, and the copywriting read: Mother-in-law's cooking skills are really good.But 5 minutes later, he deleted and reposted one, the picture was still the original one, and the text changed: Grandma's cooking skills are really good.

Being able to bend and stretch, Lin Lu followed Fang Shuhai and nodded in praise.After a while, Yan Chi called.

"Have you eaten yet?" The eternal opening line.

Lin Lu squeezed the space between his eyebrows: "You really don't need to greet me with three meals a day."

"Isn't it because I'm afraid that you will be lonely." Then I heard Fang Shuhai laughing at him from the side: "Look, I'm finally rejected."

Yan Chi cut it, and told Lin Lu again: "Remember to eat dumplings tomorrow, stuffed with meat."

"Did you forget that southerners don't eat dumplings during Chinese New Year when you've been to the north?" Lin Lu was really disgusted this time.

Don't laugh at anyone.

There is an extra photo on the bedside table, it is a Hanfu photo taken by Ye Shijian and Lin Lu in the LZ photography studio, Lin Lu picked the most satisfactory one, and the others are locked in the desk drawer together with the photo album, drinking poison to quench thirst when the yearning is unbearable Take it out and have a look.

Probably because he has been worrying more recently, Lin Lu watched the earthy eating and broadcasting videos for a while before falling asleep. He laughed at Ye Shijian's taste before, for fear that he would learn how to make spicy enoki mushrooms, big fat bread, big headshots The octopus harmed him, but after watching it a few times, I finally felt Ye Shijian's mentality of opening comments and complaining while enjoying it, which really relieved the pressure.

Just don't understand lovesickness.

Dreaming about him as always, waking up in the middle of the night as always, staring out the window insomniacly as always.

Regardless of what time it is, he always likes to be in a daze when he can't fall asleep, and whether he can fall asleep again depends on God's will.The more he suffered from insomnia, the more he wished for some movement around him, even if he moved a stool upstairs for a jog, it would be better than waiting for the dawn in vain.

What's going on in Myanmar now?How will Ye Shijian live this year?

Lin Lu sighed, don't think about it anymore, if you think about it again, you won't be able to hold on anymore.

In a daze, he vaguely heard the notification that the coded lock was successfully unlocked. Sweet and sour pork yelled a few times in the living room, and then heard someone whispering: "Damn, what is it, I'm scared."

Lin Lu felt his heart was about to jump out.

Ten seconds later, the bedroom door was opened, and the man crawled into the quilt wrapped in a chill, and hugged him from behind.

"Honey, I'm back," he said.

Lin Lu's Adam's apple rolled, and he couldn't say a word for a long time. Ye Shijian stuck to him and blew behind his ear: "Ignore me? Have you changed your mind?"

"Fart." Lin Lu finally spoke.Ye Shijian laughed: "Where did you learn the swear words?"

Lin Lu finally came to his senses. He touched Ye Shijian's hand on his waist, interlocked it lightly, and asked him, "Is everything done?"

"Yeah." Ye Shijian rubbed against him, "It's completely resolved."

"Where's the blue one?"

"He was shot while resisting arrest."

"Are you hurt?"

"No." Ye Shijian said, "Bring everything back to Zhao."

"Back to Zhao is not used in this way."

"Then... return the jade to the forest?"

Lin Lu smiled and said nothing, for fear that he was dreaming.

The door was open, sweet and sour pork came in on catwalks, meowing around the bed, Ye Shijian rubbed the back of his hand with his fingertips, paused, and asked, "When did you get a cat?"

"I didn't raise it." Lin Lu stretched a little, "Lin Hong's cat, this year they went to Zhou Zhuo's house to celebrate the New Year, so they fostered the cat with me, probably because they were worried that I would be bored by myself. I'm looking for a companion."

"Light bulb." Ye Shijian said angrily, "I almost scared me to death just now, you touch it, and now my heart is still beating fast." After speaking, he took Lin Lu's hand all the way up and stopped at the position of his heart, Ye Shi Jian proudly said: "Mr. Lin, your heart beats so fast."

"Miss me?" Ye Shijian chased after him, "Do you miss me every day?"

Lin Lu turned to face him, he couldn't see anything in the darkness, only his breathing and heartbeat were intertwined in the boundless beauty, but that was enough.Ye Shijian couldn't bear it anymore, he hugged Lin Lu into his arms, and asked him again: "Have you visited brother?"

"I went there yesterday." Lin Lu realized, "Have you been to the cemetery?"

"Well, I saw flowers in front of the tombstone." Ye Shijian said, "Thank you, baby."

Thank you for taking Ye Xi's body back for burial, and thank you for everything you have done.

"We don't say thank you."

"Okay." Ye Shijian smiled, "Then, I love you."

"Lin Lu, I love you." He repeated it very solemnly.

"I love you too," Lin Lu responded to him devoutly, "I miss you very much, not only every day, but every minute and every second."

"Did you promise me something? When I go home..."

"Let's do it." Lin Lu interrupted him, "I'm really going crazy, tell me this is not a dream."

If missing has a voice, it should be full of voices at this moment.

Ye Shi saw that it was already broad daylight when he woke up, and his nerves, which had been tense for a long time, completely relaxed at the moment he hugged Lin Lu last night. He hadn't slept so comfortably for a long time. He put on the cotton clothes at home, pushed open the window deep Taking a deep breath, today is New Year's Eve, the first real New Year for him and Lin Lu.

Except for the photo on the bedside table, there seemed to be no change at home. He saw the wooden box again on the desk, and the black butterfly/butterfly/knife lay quietly inside, like a New Year's gift from Ye Xi.

Lin Lu was making dumplings in the kitchen, when he heard him walk in, he looked back and smiled, "Are you hungry?"

"Hungry," Ye Shijian wrapped his arms around his waist, bit his earlobe, "want to eat you."

Lin Lu dodged sideways, and the movements of his hands were messed up: "Didn't you eat enough last night?" Ye Shijian let go of him a little as if his conscience had discovered it, looked down, and asked him a little embarrassedly: "It hurts." ?"

After finally becoming a little proficient in the technique, it has been rusted for more than a year, and I have to start over again. I don't know that Lin Lushu was uncomfortable last night.

"Sleep more if you feel uncomfortable." Ye Shijian rested his chin on his shoulder, and looked over, "Why are you so virtuous, remember to make dumplings?"

"It's Chinese New Year, let's add some New Year flavor." Lin Lu pulled another piece of dumpling wrapper and wrapped it full of meat stuffing, "I also bought couplets, you can paste them at the door later."

Ye Shijian nodded and said, "I have a gift for you."

"What?" Lin Lu stopped moving, turned his head to wait for an answer, Ye Shijian reached into his trouser pocket, and then showed a keychain in front of him.

A chain was attached to the keychain, and under the chain was a bullet.

Ye Shijian said: "I originally wanted to make it into a necklace, but when I thought about Leng Hui's doing this before, I didn't want to be like him, so I thought it would be more practical to use a keychain, which can be hung with your car keys, so that you can wear it every day. I see." Lin Lu put down the dumplings and wiped his hands, took the gift carefully, and asked curiously, "Why bullets? Did you make it yourself?"

"Yes." Ye Shijian confessed, "It's the last bullet left in my gun, and it's for you."

Lin Lu turned around and kissed him, then walked to the shoe cabinet and put the car keys into the keychain, and after admiring it for a while, he returned to the kitchen contentedly. Ye Shijian also made two dumplings at this stall, It looks crooked like an ingot that has burst its belly, and it's not self-aware when it's over: "If it weren't for the serious epidemic situation, I would like to make some dumplings and send them to Mr. Zhang."

"Don't bother the old man." Lin Lu pushed him aside, "I sent a lot of nutrition over last week, you don't have to worry about it."

"I know, the captain told me." Ye Shijian stuck to him like a boneless person, "I heard that you donated five police cars to the city bureau? A model family?"

"It's not about worrying about Officer Ye's corpse, it's about donating an officer for you." Lin Lu teased him, "By the way, Officer Ye, don't you have a car yet?"

Damn, it started again. Police Officer Ye who came back from the battlefield had to face up to his penniless living situation, and... "You paid for my mortgage for the past year, and I have no money to pay you back recently. Otherwise, the real estate certificate plus Your name, okay?"

"Okay," Lin Lu said, "Adding a name is not enough, I have to prepare a ring for me, it doesn't need to be expensive, you can twist one with wire."

It's just you.

Ye Shijian hugged him and kissed him again and again, suddenly he remembered something: "Did you buy one for yourself near my graveyard?"

"Why are you talking about this during the Chinese New Year?" Lin Lu blinked, "It's just bought, how do you know?"

"You bought it a long time ago!" Ye Shijian curled his lips, a little moved, "I met my parents before I went to Myanmar, and I was worried that I might not be able to come back, so I wanted to renew the cemetery in advance, but the administrator told me Said that someone has already continued it, and that person also bought another cemetery next to it, who else but you?"

"I want to be with you, whatever my identity is good." Lin Lu finished making the last dumpling, held it in his hand and handed it to him, "Don't talk about this during the Chinese New Year, let's eat the dumpling!"

Lin Lu's craftsmanship is obviously much better than his. "Wait first." Ye Shijian gently pulled his lover into his arms, then took Lin Lu's phone, turned on the camera very naturally, and took a random selfie.

In the picture, Lin Lu is holding a bulging dumpling in both hands, with some flour on his face, smiling innocently. Behind him is another handsome young man, grinning with his teeth bared. Bathed in the warm winter sun like a flower, it shines brightly.

One minute later, Lin Lu posted his first circle of friends.

On the photo of the two of them, it was written by Ye Shijian word by word——

Twilight and morning, long companions every year.
