Half a catty

Yu Xing and poured two glasses of water and brought them to the living room, just as He Yue came out of the elevator.

"Why did you come to me all of a sudden?" Yu Xing called He Yue to sit down, and put the cup in front of him.

There were still ice cubes floating in the water, He Yue took a sip, his teeth a little bit icy.Putting down the glass, he said, "I want to ask you a question."

"Ask for advice? It's a rare thing." Yu Xing teased.

He Yue couldn't arouse the interest of joking, he smiled wryly, and asked: "Tell me, if I want to block a message, how difficult is it?"

"Difficulty—it can be said that it is almost impossible." Yu Xing is in the publishing business, and he usually deals with many media people at work, and is relatively familiar with this type of industry.But when it comes to blocking news, he is not optimistic: "Now that the paper media is in decline, in the past, if the reports were withdrawn, everything would be fine, but that was only in the past..."

Yu Xing shook his head and sighed, without further words, He Yue could understand it.The transmission of information in the Internet age is like a wildfire. When one side goes out and the other starts up, it looks like it has been extinguished, but there are still sparks hidden under the scorched branches, spreading quietly, and when you turn around, there is another sea of ​​​​flames. Time can subside.

"Did something happen?" Yu Xing asked.

"It's not a big deal." It has become a subconscious habit of He Yue to whitewash his plight.

Yu Xingyu said earnestly: "Among us, you and Su Qiming are the most active, but after your uncle passed away, you changed a bit."

He Yue was slightly stunned, and he pursed his lips: "I also feel the change, I can't help myself."

The atmosphere became dignified, and the two of them were silent for half a minute, but fortunately, they were interrupted by a clear and crisp child's voice in time.Yu Le ran out of the house, calling He Yue's name, and the nanny behind her followed step by step, for fear that she, who had short legs and hands, would fall.

With Yu Le here, the dullness just now dissipated.Yu Xing scratched his forehead, regained his smile, and teased, "Have you tasted the bitterness of life?"

He Yue thought about it, but said: "Not to mention, at least I don't have to worry about food and clothing, so I have no right to talk about suffering."

Yu Xing shrugged, paused, and issued an invitation: "Anything else tonight, go out for a drink?"

He Yue didn't agree immediately, he took out his mobile phone first, and checked the new news, there were He's mother and Wang Chengyi's in it, they were all asking when he would go home.And when he locked the screen, the pitch-black screen was like a mirror, reflecting a sluggish face, He Yue stared at that face for a few seconds, and replied: "Okay."

Yu Xing, who was dressed in home clothes, stood up: "Wait a minute, I'm going to change clothes."

After Yu Xing left the living room, Yu Le climbed onto He Yue's lap and sat down, holding He Yue's cheek with two small hands: "You look very tired."

The tone of the little adult was still the same, He Yue said dotingly: "Then tell me, how old do I look now?"

Yu Le's embarrassment showed on her face, she thought hard and said: "Well...you don't have to feel inferior, even if you become an uncle, I will always like you."

"You're quite good at comforting people." He Yue pinched her nose lightly.

Yu Xing changed his clothes quickly, and while He Yue was talking to Yu Le, he returned to the living room.He lifted Yu Le from He Yue's body, and they walked towards the elevator together.

In front of the elevator, Yu Xing comforted Yu Le by saying that her mother would be home later, and then handed Yu Le into the nanny's arms.Yu Le didn't know if she heard Yu Xing's words clearly, she just looked at He Yue, He Yue leaned in the elevator, smiled and waved to her, but Yu Le pouted, because she could clearly see that He Yue Yue didn't want to laugh.

He Yue doesn't like drinking, at least he hates pointlessly pouring alcohol into his stomach. He just had a few drinks with Yu Xing at the bar, and he could sip half a finger's worth of whiskey for half a day.The rest of the time is mostly spent chatting with Yu Xing, which can make He Yue relax a lot in the noisy and dark environment.

This chat was almost midnight.When He Yue returned home, he was conscious, not even a little drunk. He stood in front of the villa and looked up. The windows of the huge house were completely dark.

He Yue thought that everyone in the family was asleep, but when he walked through the living room, he found a light projected from the dining room. He Yue paused, followed the light, and first saw a laptop with colorful lights Putting it on the dining table, looking over the propped-up screen, Wang Chengyi, wearing earphones, is concentrating on it, skillfully manipulating the mouse and keyboard with his fingers.

He Yue stepped lightly, walked to the table, looked down at the game screen on the screen, the next second the characters in it stopped moving, it turned out that Wang Chengyi's hand left the keyboard, took off the earphones and looked up at He Yue.

"You came back so late." Wang Chengyi complained, frowning.

He Yue stretched out his hand to stroke Wang Chengyi's hair, and the feeling of the hair passing through his fingers was very interesting.He asked, "Where's my mother?"

"Auntie fell asleep." Wang Chengyi stood up, closed the computer, his nostrils fluttered, and keenly caught a trace of alcohol: "You went drinking."

"I had two drinks with my friends." He Yue walked towards the stairs and explained, "I drank with Yu Xing, do you remember? We had dinner with him."

Wang Chengyi felt that his jealousy had been deeply rooted in He Yue's heart, even though it was true, but—Wang Chengyi chased after He Yue, and went up the stairs step by step: "I'm just worried about your legs. , I’m not ready yet, so I shouldn’t touch alcohol.”

When he came to the third floor, in front of the door of He Yue's bedroom, He Yue turned around suddenly, Wang Chengyi was caught off guard, and the two of them almost stuck together, very close at hand.

"Just a little bit." He Yue said in a low voice.

Wang Chengyi's eyes fell on He Yue's lips, he couldn't help getting closer, and poked his head slightly, but just when he was about to touch He Yue, the other party took a step back and opened the distance again.

"I'm a little sleepy." He Yue said.

Wang Chengyi was stunned, quite surprised, the words rolled in his throat a few times before he uttered two words: "Good night."

He Yue twitched the corner of his mouth, hooked Wang Chengyi's chin, kissed him, and said, "Good night."

A door panel separated them, Wang Chengyi stood outside the door for a while, thoughtful, while He Yue on the other side leaned back against the door and closed his eyes tiredly.After a while, they moved abnormally in tacit understanding, Wang Chengyi turned and left, and He Yue walked into the bedroom.

He Yue didn't turn on the light, he walked straight past his big soft bed and walked into the study.

The inside of the house is not absolutely dark, but the moonlight outside the window seems to be extraordinarily bright tonight.He sat behind the desk, took out the photo from his pocket, looked at himself and Wang Chengyi on it, and was in a daze for a while.

After a long time, He Yue took out a whole stick of cigarettes from the drawer. Afterwards, the smoke slowly rising in the room never stopped, and the sound of the lighter rang every once in a while, each time with a small cluster of flames, which lasted for a short time. The ground warmed He Yue's face.

The papers that Wang Chengyi had turned over were still on the table, He Yue dragged them to his eyes, and looked at them one by one. From the beginning to the end, the scores that were always fluctuating at low altitudes reminded him that he had always been a ignorant student. Just a dude.

No matter how glamorous his clothes are, no matter how refined his appearance is, that is a superficial decoration given to him by material things. No matter how successful his career is, it is also based on He Xincheng's support.Without He Xincheng, he is a complete waste.

"A person like me is really too big to be responsible." He Yue laughed at himself.

He found a wide-mouthed vase in the room, carried it to the balcony, and stuffed the roll of papers into it.He squatted next to the vase, took out the photo again, looked at it, raised his hand to turn on the lighter, and brought the flickering tongue of flame close to the corner of the photo.

The photo was immediately scorched and curled up, and the flames ate away at the picture above.He Yue stopped burning when the lighter was a little hot. He put away the lighter and threw the photo into the vase.

Within a few seconds, the paper inside also ignited.

He Yue looked up at the moon in the sky for a long, long time, until his cervical spine was sore and unbearable, then he whispered: "If I give up, Dad, you won't blame me."

The light of the fire gradually disappeared at the bottom of the vase, leaving only a pile of ashes.
