him and his duo

"Are you really going? Why don't you think about it again?" From the time Gu Shen bought the ticket to the moment when they met at the coach station in Huayuan East City, this question has been asked over and over eight hundred times.

Gu Shen smiled helplessly, and repeated eight hundred and one times: "I have bought all the tickets, and the bus ticket will not be refunded."

Xu Ke lowered his head and fiddled with the phone. Two seconds later, Gu Shen's phone ding-dong. When he opened it, Xu Ke sent him a red envelope, "I'll refund the money to you, don't go."

Gu Shen was amused for a while, the red envelope was confiscated, he turned off the phone and threw it into the pocket of the sweater, and asked, "What, do you have any secrets in Spring City? You don't want me to go there so much."

After pondering for half a second, he added with a half-smile, "Don't worry, I'm just here to relax and enjoy the scenery. It's just a trip. You don't need to be stressed. I'll take care of you. If something happens Throw me somewhere I can stay, and I'll just wait obediently."

"No," Xu Ke said coldly, looking at the trains and flights in the distance, the words "Spring City" on it glowed slightly red on the big screen, just like when he came, "I just think it's a little strange."

"strangeness?"

"Well," Xu Ke turned his head and resumed his usual meanness, "After all, I always thought it was a place where only fools would choose to travel."

Gu Shen: "..."

It's the National Day holiday, and the traffic at stations in all parts of the country is unbelievably high.There are people coming and going in the waiting room, migrant workers dragging dilapidated boxes, middle-aged women with children in their arms, young white-collar workers hurrying with briefcases...

There were many people, and there were endless noises, especially the crying of children, and the boiling oil in the hot pot, which made people's foreheads panic.

There are many small shops selling snacks in the lobby, Xu Ke and Gu Shen randomly picked one to go in and bought two bottles of ice water.

Gu Shen looked at the small snacks on the shelf and some honey pomelo, cantaloupe, wolfberry, and longan that were labeled as local specialties, and was about to ask if he wanted to buy some to bring to Xu Ke's friends for a share, when he heard Xu Ke Standing in front of the cashier and asking him, "Are you motion sick?"

Gu Shen was afraid that Xu Ke would not let him go if he said he was carsick, so he shook his head decisively, and his tone was very contemptuous, "I can ride the roller coaster non-stop for four or five times, how can I get carsick?"

Xu Ke nodded, and didn't say anything superfluous about his record.Took two extra lollipops from the front counter when paying.

"At the same table, do you want to buy some souvenirs to share with your friends over there?"

Xu Ke finished paying and stood at the door. Hearing this, he glanced over there and said mockingly, "If you are willing to carry something that weighs more than ten kilograms, then I have no objection."

Xu Ke leaned against the door and swipe two pages of his mobile phone. Seeing that Gu Shen was really weighing whether to spend more effort, he turned off the mobile phone and sighed, "Pull it down, we have no shortage of cantaloupe tied with bows With honey pomelo."

Gu Shen had no choice but to give up, but in the end he bought a lot of snacks and carried them in his hand. When paying the bill, he held his mobile phone and asked: "Is this enough, is it enough? If not enough, buy some more."

Xu Ke raised his eyelids and glanced at the hill-like pile of snacks on the cashier counter. He lowered his eyes and walked outside the shop, "Take it back, I don't have many friends."

Gu Shen tuned the hand that paid for the QR code for a moment, and felt a brief but subtle pain in his heart.

They came out of the small shop, looked at the time, and were about to get in the car.

When passing through the security inspection hall, a little girl in a red dress was crying beside the security inspection machine, muttering inaudibly, "I don't, I don't."

Her mother was standing by with a big backpack on her back, trying to calm her down and scaring her, saying, "Okay, okay, don't cry, if you cry again, I'll leave you here alone."

The little girl was quiet for a moment, and cried even more fiercely.

The people around all looked this way, with a little irritability and undisguised sizing, the little girl's mother was a little uncomfortable.

She knelt down to coax her daughter, "Okay, baby, don't cry."

The little girl ignored her, her late tenderness was even more contemptible than grass.

Just as he was at a loss, a big boy standing next to him handed over a lollipop. His cold voice sounded from above, and his tone was a bit unnatural, "Don't cry."

The little girl looked at him with teary eyes, but she really didn't cry anymore.

Xu Ke cleared his throat and said, "Be good."

Standing next to him, Gu Shen paused his typing hands, looked up at Xu Ke who was only a few meters away from him, and passed through Xu Ke to look at the noisy little girl over there, narrowing his eyes slightly.

Not wanting to reply to any news, Gu Shen turned off his phone and went to pull Xu Ke's clothes, "Let's go, get in the car."

"Thank you so much, young man," the little girl's mother smiled apologetically at Xu Ke, and patted her daughter on the back, "Say thank you to brother."

The little girl licked the candy with a soft voice, "Thank you brother."

Without waiting for Xu Ke to react, Gu Shen waved his hand without looking back, casually with a little impatience in his heart.

"Mom, that brother in black is so fierce." The innocent voice of the little girl sounded from behind.

"Okay, okay, just stand here and wait for Dad, don't cry anymore."

"..."

The voices of the mother and daughter were gradually drowned in the sea of ​​people, and slowly, they could no longer be heard.

After checking the tickets and getting on the bus, they went straight to the second-to-last row, and Xu Ke sat down in the seat by the window.

"Am I fierce?" Gu Shen now began to worry about the little girl's last words, "I don't seem to have said anything?"

Xu Ke glanced at him, with an expression of "Don't you have any idea?" on his face.But this topic is a bit sensitive, and he didn't want to hold on to it, so he didn't respond.

"It's a two-hour car ride, so you can play some games by yourself."

As Xu Ke said, he took out his phone and plugged in the earphones.

Before clicking on the Sudoku software, by a strange coincidence, he opened the WeChat next to him, and the first contact on it was his mother Wu Lian.

The message was sent last night. It was a message of more than a dozen characters. The replies below were usually one or two words. Occasionally, there was a longer reply. The commas and periods were marked very standard.

Close your eyes and scan, the entire interface is simple and clean without even an expression.

Wu Lian just finished a meeting last night, ran to the airport, caught the last flight, bought a ticket and sent Xu Ke a message saying: Xiao Ke, what do you want to eat for National Day tomorrow, I will come back and make it for you.

Xu Ke replied: No, I'm not at home.

Wu Lian: Not at home?Where are you going?

Xu Ke: Rejuvenation City.

Seeing the word "Chuncheng", Wu Lian was stunned. She hurriedly sent a voice message to Xu Ke, "Why are you going back to Chuncheng? That person is still in Chuncheng. I heard that he was released recently. What if you hit him?"

Xu Ke was calmer than Wu Lian, "I won't run into each other. Grandpa Sun is hospitalized. I'll go back and see him."

The ticket was crumpled, and Wu Lian's hands were shaking while dragging the suitcase, but she had no position to jump out and judge her son's decision.From the moment she walked out of Chuncheng ten years ago, she no longer has this right.

So, she could only reply: Be careful on the road and take care of yourself.

In less than half a second, Xu Ke replied "OK."

There were a lot of people in the airport. A man in a black suit and gold-rimmed glasses squeezed through the crowd and walked up to Wu Lian. His clothes were not wrinkled at all, and his voice was very calm, "Why, aren't you going back?"

"Yes," Wu Lian nodded, "Xiao Ke is going back to Spring City during his vacation."

"Chuncheng?" The man naturally took Wu Lian's suitcase, half-embracing her in his arms to protect her, "What is he going back for?"

"Go to visit a neighbor, Grandpa Sun, whose home is under the banyan tree to the west, do you still remember?" Wu Lian said, with tiredness in his voice.

She hasn't had much rest in the past few days. In order to finish everything as soon as possible and go back to spend vacation with her son, she has been working day and night.

The man seemed to think about it for a while, and then said slowly: "I don't remember, under the banyan tree in the west... isn't that family surnamed Hu?"

"The family surnamed Hu moved away a long time ago," Wu Lian smiled, but suddenly became sad again in the next moment, "Yes, many things have changed after so many years."

The man kissed Wu Lian's temples, "Fortunately, after all these years of going around, we are still walking together."

But it is not the same as before. After so many years, the center has long been crowded with people.They can only keep trying to make up for the years they missed.

Wu Lian clenched the man's right hand, and suddenly asked, "By the way, aren't you going back? Xiao Shen is at home alone..."

"He's not at home, so it's probably annoying to watch me at home." Gu Chuxuan held Wu Lian by his hand, "That kid probably knows that I'm in a relationship, and he's been slapping his nose when he replies recently."

"What? He knows?"

"I guess you can see it." Gu Chuxuan rubbed the center of his brows, and he said with a soft smile, "Why, don't you plan to give me a title?"

Wu Lian's face was hot, but after a while, she was a little worried again: "Xiao Ke and the others...can accept it?"

Gu Chuxuan also sighed, "I don't know. Forget it, don't care about them, you go back and get a good sleep, this matter will have a showdown with them sooner or later anyway."

"How far is it?" Gu Shen groaned for a long time in the car, and at this moment his face looked dejected and hopeless.

Before getting into the car, the man spoke harshly. Before the car had gone half a mile, he began to talk about his discomfort, which startled Xu Ke, thinking that he was hypoxic on the plateau.After asking again, I found out that he was motion sick. Xu Ke said angrily: "There is still an hour, can you last? Can't last to get out of the car and walk back."

"No, I'm going to throw up," Gu Shen began to blame, "It must be the reason for this road, it's uneven, it makes people dizzy."

Looking at Xu Ke's black face, Gu Shen flattered him and said, "I didn't really get carsick before."

"That's right," Xu Ke scoffed, "After all, you can go three times in a row on a roller coaster."

Gu Shen was silent for a moment and shut up.

"Open your mouth." Xu Ke handed the water to Young Master Gu's mouth, "Drink water."

Gu Shen obediently opened his mouth, took a sip of water, and said, "I want to eat candy."

Xu Ke bought two sticks of candy, one for the little girl, and one for himself to calm his dizziness and nausea when starting the car. Where did he get the candy now?

"I asked you if you were motion sick before I got in the car," Xu Ke raised a question mark on his forehead, "What were you trying to do at that time?"

"I'm afraid." Gu Shen's voice was weak.

"What are you afraid of?"

"I'm afraid you won't let me follow."

Xu Ke was stunned for a moment, then turned his head away after half a second, and his voice was a little hoarse when he spoke again, "Be patient, we're almost here."

He said coaxing a child: "Be good, get out of the car and buy you candy."

Gu Shen covered his head with a sweater hat, and leaned his head back on the seat. When he heard this sentence, a light flashed in his half-closed eyes, and he replied silently: "Okay."

During the two-hour drive, Gu Shen almost died on the road.

When he got off the car, he finally stepped on the ground of Chuncheng, and came to the hometown of his deskmate in a daze.He wanted to take a good look at where the man next to him had lived before.

The author has something to say: because the next chapter is just that, so there is another update tonight, but it should be very late, so you can read it tomorrow.
