[Full-time Zhou Ye] Shenghua

It snowed heavily on Christmas Day.Ye Xiu has a fixed arrangement for this time of year, and he has to take a car up the mountain before 6 o'clock.The road conditions were not too bad when he went. When he finished his work, the sky was dark, and the last bus had already left early because of the heavy snow.

The whole mountain was dyed white, and the road was covered with snow, leaving only a few faint gray bands, crouching in the snow like a hibernating snake.Although Ye Xiu deliberately added clothes when he went out in the morning, he was still frozen into an ice sculpture not long after standing in the ice and snow.He was thinking about the possibility of walking down the mountain before it got dark, when he suddenly heard a horn honking behind him, yellow lights came from far and near, and a Mercedes-Benz quietly stopped in front of the platform.

"Mr. Zhou Zekai, now I seriously suspect that Ye Qiu is the undercover agent you placed beside me. You can't say that you came all the way to play golf this time, can you?"

The man in the driver's seat who hadn't seen him for a long time smiled without making a sound. When he got into the passenger seat, he handed him a blanket and a thermos.The blanket is made of pure cashmere, and the ginger soup in the thermos is still at a temperature suitable for drinking.Ye Xiu wrapped himself in a blanket and drank the ginger soup. He was so warm from the inside out that he felt lazy.

As the car went down the mountain road, Zhou Zekai turned on the high beams and carefully controlled the direction and speed.There was no traffic at this point, and there were gray roads, dark woods and white snow coming and going outside the car windows.The signal on the mountain was not good. The two debugged for a long time, and finally heard that "Under Mount Fuji" was playing on the radio station. The host's voice was intermittently mixed in, as if it was a parting speech left by the person who ordered the song.Zhou Zekai held the knob and paused for a few minutes, then decisively turned off the speaker before the singer sang "Who can let Mount Fuji be private with love".

An ambiguous silence spread in the black, white and gray vision.Ye Xiu turned his head and looked at the young driver's well-defined profile with great interest.The man is wearing a gray checked coat and a white turtleneck sweater today. His slightly long black hair hangs by his ears. He is as clean and docile as a college student who has just left school.

Thinking back carefully, this was the first time he had looked at the other party up close in such a calm and sober state.In the half a year since the two met, first Zhou Zekai was trapped in a dangerous situation waiting for him to fish for it, and then his pheromone was unstable and needed the other party's comfort again and again. They were two people who knew nothing about each other, but they were in a strange situation. Witness the other party's weakest and most embarrassing moment by mistake.They have long been accustomed to disguising themselves as invulnerable, but fate stretched out its hand and unceremoniously tore away the glamor that was concealed, forcing the two to face each other naked in various senses.

It was simply overwhelming.

Zhou Zekai was itching to see him, his eyes were still fixed on the front, but he turned his head slightly, and asked softly, "Aren't you going to sleep?"

Ye Xiu looked away with a smile, and replied without thinking, "You are really pretty."

"...Thank you."

The conversation stopped at the starting point, and the previous silence was restored in the carriage.Outside the windshield, it was already dark, and the hillsides on both sides looked like giant beasts lying on the side of the road, waiting for people or cars passing by to fall into their trap.More and more dense snow fell on the glass one after another, and the snow on the road was getting thicker and thicker. When they were halfway up the mountain, the speed of the car had dropped to almost the same as walking.

Seeing that there was another steep turn with a considerable angle ahead, Zhou Zekai slowly turned the steering wheel, trying to complete the smooth transition as before.Unexpectedly, there is a large pile of rubble buried in the middle of the circuit. The stones are covered with snow and ice, and the wheels can't stop slipping as soon as they run over them.By the time the people in the car frantically turned back and pulled up the handbrake, the front wheels had plunged into the snowdrift on the side of the road and got stuck.

The two jumped out of the car and tried to push it, but it didn't move at all as expected; each took out their mobile phones to make a rescue call, only to find that the low temperature had caused the two mobile phones with low battery power to automatically sleep.

Ye Xiu pondered for a moment, got into the car and took out the bag and umbrella, and threw the blanket to Zhou Zekai who was only wearing a coat: "Put it on, I remember there seems to be a hotel at the foot of the mountain, let's go there for the night first."

Like pantomime actors, the two walked down the mountain along the road, stepping on the snow, with one foot deep and the other shallow.Although the snow was heavy, fortunately the street lights were bright enough to clearly depict the two overlapping figures on the white curtain.Ye Xiu led the way silently, and suddenly asked, "Are you serious?"

It was a sentence that was too incoherent, and the young man who was stepping on the shadow childishly behind him staggered in shock: "Huh?——huh!"

Ye Xiu, who was walking in front, went back to mime mode on his own. Omega slowed down, took off his frozen right hand and put it in his pocket, pondered for a long time before asking again: "Did Ye Qiu tell you what I'm here for?"

Zhou Zekai raised the edge of his umbrella and looked at the back of the front: "No. Work?"

"The top of the mountain is a prison, where my first criminal client was imprisoned." Ye Xiu still turned his back to him, shaking off some snow that had accumulated on the umbrella, "A person about my age who will never have children again Omega."

"Because of the pheromones, he and his Alpha are very compatible, and they got married after three months of knowing each other. After the two lived together, they found out that their personalities did not match. Alpha got impatient and started fooling around outside, leaving him alone at home to deal with the elders on both sides. The two had a small quarrel every three days, and a big quarrel every week. At first, they just talked, and then gradually turned into physical actions. They reported to the police, filed for divorce, and complained to the Omega Rights Association, and were dragged down by the people around them. After getting down, it eventually developed into living together, but only seeing each other when there is a physical need. Omega can't refuse the pheromone that marks his own Alpha. Once the other party releases the pheromone, he basically can only be soft and give in. Later pregnant."

"...The day the test results came out was Christmas Eve. He wanted to have a good talk with Alpha again, so he specially ordered a sumptuous Christmas dinner. As a result, the man went out until the early hours of the morning and came home, reeking of alcohol and unconscious. He lost money in a bet and turned his anger on him, and kicked him in the stomach as soon as he entered the door. He curled up on the ground for half an hour, bleeding all over the floor, but he heard that the man was already snoring loudly in the bedroom, so he struggled to crawl Get up, pick up the table knife and stab it into the heart of the heart."

"Later, he was sent to the hospital for emergency treatment. Alpha was gone, and the child was gone. His uterus ruptured and hemorrhaged, and it is impossible to get pregnant again in this life—"

The two of them walked up to a steep slope, and the original path was covered by snow, so Ye Xiu had no choice but to shut up and focus on stretching his feet to explore.Zhou Zekai consciously grabbed his right hand that was hanging in the air from behind, and the two hands, which were so cold and unconscious, were held together, but they rubbed together to give a little warmth.

"Thanks. Where did I just talk about? Oh, he can't have another child in this life. It's a bit too much to have a reprieve at the first trial, right? The Alpha family is very powerful, and the agent they hired is also superb. At that time Omega's family found out that Excellent Era is the best law firm, so they came to hire the best lawyer - the best one is of course not available, because there is not enough money - it happened that my friend was transferred to the Criminal Division at that time, and I sympathized with him , so I volunteered to take it, and went through a lot of hard work to apply for the opportunity for a psychiatric evaluation, and I was going to invite the best experts from other places. Guess what happened? When I went to other places to make contact, there was an air crash, and the person disappeared immediately.”

"Although I made some reputation in Excellent Era at that time, it was basically limited to non-complaints. I had to hide my identity as an Omega, and my life was very uncomfortable. The client's family was desperate for this case, and there was no chance of winning. It’s oily, no lawyer in the firm is willing to take over the case for a while, and the remaining few assistants are not interested. In the end, I had a big fight with my partner and obtained the authorization by threatening to resign.”

"Later, when the case was lost, I came out and did it alone."

The story is narrated in an overly bland manner, turning into a few breaths of white air from the mouth, floating lightly in the night.At the end, the light of the signboard of the hotel in the distance is already faintly visible.They didn't know when they changed from one in front of the other to walking side by side, and they didn't let go of their hands after holding each other, but Ye Xiu kept looking forward from the beginning to the end, without turning his head or turning his head once.

"No one can say for sure about feelings, so why bother jumping into the oil pan. After all, no one owed anyone in the previous life."

Zhou Zekai lowered his eyes to look at the road under his feet seriously, and pulled the hand he was holding towards his side, and finally stuffed them all into the pocket of his coat.

Although there is a prison area on the top of the mountain, this mountainous area is famous for its pollution-free snow scene, and the more snow there is, the more popular it is.The two went to the front desk to ask, and were told that there was only one single room that was temporarily refunded.After Zhou Zekai asked about the situation, he looked at Ye Xiu. The latter shrugged and said indifferently, "It's not the first time."

The hotel is a homestay, located in a mountainous area and the conditions are simple. Except for the bathroom, there is only one bed, two bedside tables and a table in the room.The table is facing the end of the bed, and there is an old-fashioned TV set on it. When it is turned on, only a few central channels play back and forth.

The two simply cleaned up, turned off the lights and went to bed to prepare for rest. The 1.5-meter-wide single bed is a bit cramped for two big men of about 1.8 meters. Fortunately, the bedding is wide and thick enough.It was still early, and after lying side by side and counting heartbeats for 5 minutes, Ye Xiu consulted Zhou Zekai, took out the remote control panel and turned on the TV.

The previous guest last stayed on the movie channel.The TV screen dimmed for a while, gradually showing the lobby of a foreign hotel late at night.The man with thinning white hair went down the stairs and met a woman who was also insomnia. The man was a sailor on the Murmansk pier, and the woman was the wife of a British minister who lived here.They drank tea in the kitchen and chatted until dawn, tasted vodka and caviar together at midnight, supported each other in the snow and drank a bottle of spirits, and then returned to their respective rooms at dawn and continued to have no intersection. life.

A man writes to a childhood friend far away, saying that he fell in love with someone for the first time, while a woman dressed in a costume holds his hand affectionately, counts the wasted youth in the snow, and raises a glass of wine and announces loudly:

"If we are together, we must never see each other during the day, we must separate before sunrise, and never say 'I love you'."

"Heh." In the darkness, Zhou Zekai heard a chuckle of unknown meaning from the people around him, and then repeated: "Never say 'I love you'."

Ye Xiu got up early during the day, and walked in the snow for a long time, watching and shrinking into bed.Zhou Zekai lowered his voice, tucked in the quilt, and persisted alone for the last hour and a half.At the end of the film, the man who reversed his growth and turned into a baby lay in the arms of his aging lover and closed his eyes peacefully. He said countless good nights to his loved one in his life. For the last time, it was finally his turn to love The man said softly to him, "Good night, Benjamin."

Zhou Zekai turned off the TV, lay down gently, and moved closer to Omega who was sleeping soundly with his back facing him, and said in a low voice, "...I probably really owe you a lot."

"Good night, Ye Xiu."

The room was silent, only the sound of breathing and the occasional sound of water flowing from the heating pipe.After an unknown amount of time, Omega, who seemed to have fallen asleep, suddenly opened his eyes, slowly turned over, and faced Alpha:

"Then pay it back."

"Good night, Xiao Zhou."
