[The summer solstice has not yet come] Carving time

<two>

When he opened his eyes in the morning, Gu Qiaochu was in a state of confusion.He didn't sleep well at night, and he always felt as if someone was binding him, making him a little out of breath.

As a result, when he woke up, he felt Lu Zhiang's hair pricking his neck, and his arms hugged him like a branding iron.It was okay when he fell asleep, but when he really woke up, he felt itchy again and wanted to laugh.

He remembered dragging Lu Zhiang into the lounge the day before, and never went out again.Lu Zhiang dragged him to vomit bitterness, and finally babbled about the stories of the years when he was not around.

He listened too much and felt a little tired, so he simply closed his eyes and fell asleep in the lounge because Lu Zhiang couldn't see his face.

This lounge is usually used by Gu Qiaochu. He is lazy, so he insisted on changing the small reception room on the first floor into his own lounge during the renovation.

In fact, before opening the store, he had lived here for more than a month in order to supervise the renovation.So the things in the lounge are already complete, but it's a pity that there is an extra sofa bed for sleeping alone on weekdays, which is still a bit crowded.

He pulled Lu Zhiang's hand away, only feeling that wearing the clothes and pants of the previous day was really uncomfortable, and his sleeping position was a little stiff, at this moment the whole person felt a little uncomfortable.I twisted my neck and wanted to take a shower, but before I got up, I was grabbed by someone.

"Where are you going?" Lu Zhiang's eyes were red, as if he had just woken up, but his eyes were looking straight at Gu Qiaochu, and he was a little confused.

Gu Qiaochu was stunned for a moment, he felt that Lu Zhiang's hand was shaking, if it was a few years ago, he would have laughed at his timidity.But this time he just curled his lips into a smile, "I'm going to wash up, it stinks."

It was a hot summer, even if there was an air conditioner in the room, it couldn't stand two big men sleeping in their arms for the whole night.

Lu Zhiang blinked, then slowly let go of his hand.He watched Gu Qiaochu take out clean clothes from the side cabinet and go into the bathroom, then let out a foul breath, and covered his face with his hands.

He thought that this long-lost meeting would allow him to have a better sleep.However, he didn't dare to sleep at night, so he could only hug Gu Qiaochu and look at him with his eyes open.

He was afraid that Gu Qiaochu would be like a few years ago when he was alone in the dark, so he left.

Gu Qiaochu took a shower and changed into clean clothes when he came out. He had a towel covering his head, and his whole body was covered with damp water vapor, "Go in and wash, there is a new toothbrush cup on the shelf, and the towel is in the basket .”

Lu Zhiang watched Gu Qiaochu approaching, he blinked his eyes, inexplicably looking aggrieved and innocent, "I don't have a change of clothes."

"Wear... ah..." Gu Qiaochu originally wanted to talk about wearing himself, but as if he remembered something, he raised his hand and pressed the bridge of his nose in embarrassment, his eyes dodged, "Then you go back and wash, I will take you back?"

"Okay!" Lu Zhiang is a person who accepts as soon as he sees it, he smiled and narrowed his eyes for a moment, and only went to wash up, then waited for Gu Qiaochu to send him back.

Carving Time is located in the suburbs, and most people nearby will choose to buy a car as a means of transportation.So when Gu Qiaochu pushed a bicycle out of the backyard, Lu Zhiang was a little surprised.

"You just give me this?" Lu Zhiang always looked very cute when he pursed his lips and smiled, "I'm not a little girl."

"The little girl doesn't want to sit in my back seat either." Gu Qiaochu also smiled, the kind of smile that looks very lonely with eyebrows closed.After graduating from high school, he was no longer the same as before, always looking a little melancholy, "Let's go."

Lu Zhiang jumped on the back seat, this was not the first time he sat on the back seat of someone else's bicycle.In the past, there was a man who reluctantly took him home after his car tire was deflated, and even kicked him.

A boy sitting on the back seat of a bicycle is not like a little girl, Xia Zuo just sits on it with his legs apart.Lu Zhiang hooked Gu Qiaochu's waist with both hands, not caring that the other party's ears were red and his limbs were stiff because of his actions, "Do you remember that you took me home and kicked me?"

"You were too ostentatious back then." Gu Qiaochu let himself try to ignore those warm hands, "As a senior, I have to teach you some lessons."

Lu Zhiang pursed his lips and smiled again, and stopped talking.

He didn't dare to push Gu Qiaochu into a hurry, this guy ran away whenever he was stimulated before, and there was never an exception.

But what he didn't expect was that Gu Qiaochu actually threw him at the bus stop.

wtf? ? ?

"Take the bus back by yourself."

Lu Zhiang stared dumbfounded at Gu Qiaochu taking out ten yuan from his pocket and stuffing it into his hand, then pedaled his bicycle away with all his strength.

He felt he was being played.

Originally, I drove here the day before, but I agreed to let Gu Qiaochu see him off this morning in order to fight for a longer stay with Gu Qiaochu.It turned out to be thrown at the bus station?

Just when Lu Zhiang was still debating whether to go back to pick up his car or take the bus back, the bus heading into the city had already wobbled over.He didn't have time to think about it, so he jumped on it.

When Gu Qiao first returned to the store, he packed up a bunch of things.He tidied up the rest room, greeted the girl who came to shift, and then rode his bicycle back to the residence.

There are always many houses near the teaching area, which are provided for students who want to sneak out to live, or parents who come to take care of students.

Gu Qiaochu rented a room in that area, a hardcover single room with one bedroom, one living room and one bathroom. The monthly payment is [-] yuan, which is within his acceptable range.

He ate some random food at the gate of the community, and he was in a daze when he entered the room.

He thought he was probably crazy, he slept with Lu Zhiang last night.

He once eagerly hoped that he could go out quickly, and he came back just to let himself go. Who knew that on this side, he was actually getting deeper and deeper.

The small living room was separated by a cool bed from the balcony. He made a cup of coffee and sat on the cool bed to rest quietly.

When alone, he can not communicate with the outside world for a whole day.

He was there, quietly looking at the blue sky in Asakawa, the white clouds, and the large expanse of camphor green grass, and the corner of the starched white shirts that the boys and girls flew up when they were riding bicycles. A general idea of ​​their smiling faces.

The summer in Asakawa has not changed for so long.

It just doesn't belong to him anymore.

He used to be like every high school student, full of vigor and vitality, enthusiastic about school activities and helping his classmates, and he once stood on the balcony with his classmates to argue which one of the new elementary school girls was more beautiful.

But when he got acquainted with Lu Zhiang in his second year of high school, everything seemed to be different.

Thinking of his former self, Gu Qiaochu laughed unconsciously.

He first hooked the corners of his lips, revealing an arc that seemed to be smiling, and then there were circles of smiles in his eyes.

But when he thought that he led Lu Zhiang on a road of no return, he felt sad and hopeless.

After five o'clock in the afternoon, I don't know what kind of mood I have, Gu Qiaochu went to Carving Time again.

He spent some time reading the documents that were delayed by Li Wenwen the day before, and sat down at a table with a cup of coffee in his hand.

The tables in the book bar are all lined up on the east side. The east side is a whole piece of glass with no slogans posted on it. Only rows of green plants are placed on the inner wall.

Many young people will even spend the night here to watch the sunrise.

A girl came over and asked him where the book he was looking for was.

It happened to be a category he was familiar with, so he stood up with a good temper and pointed to the bookshelf on the other side.He watched the girl walk around to find a circle, and finally stood on tiptoe and tried hard to reach the top book.

He stood up and walked over, took the book and handed it over, explaining with a smile, "Next time, I can ask the clerk to pick it up for you."

"Thank you, thank you!" The girl bowed her head and kowtowed thanks, then suddenly raised her head and opened her watery eyes like a deer, "Can I buy you coffee? You seem to like coffee very much!"

He was stunned for a moment, and then realized what he meant. He could only lament that he really couldn't keep up with the changes of the times, and seemed a little old, "Thank you, but no need."

He had already done enough courtesy, so he could only turn around and leave.

Who knew that when he turned around, he saw Lu Zhiang standing in front of his desk.

"You're so attractive." Lu Zhiang blinked at Gu Qiaochu, he watched the girl walking away with the book in his hands, and then said in a low voice, "Can you restrain yourself a bit."

"It's worse than you." Gu Qiaochu smiled unconsciously, bending his brows and eyes in a very soft manner.

He offered to invite Lu Zhiang to dinner, and even found a private room, the two of them chatted and laughed during the dinner, the atmosphere was very good.But until the end, Gu Qiaochu smiled with the corners of his lips curled up, but what he said was suddenly a little unreasonable, "Zhiang... we are friends."

Lu Zhiang was taken aback for a moment, his voice became hoarse, "What do you mean?"

"I think..." Before he could finish his sentence, Lu Zhiang cut him off.

Lu Zhiang liked Gu Qiaochu's voice, it was always clean and clear, but this time he didn't want to listen to it anymore, "No, Gu Qiaochu, I don't understand, what do you think?"

"Why do you come back like this? Why do you come back?!"

The more he talked, the more he felt aggrieved, so he could only endure desperately not to cry.Because Gu Qiaochu is always one year older than him, he is always showing off. He can only work hard to restrain his willfulness so that Gu Qiaochu will not treat him as a child.

"You think you're doing this for my own good, don't you? Then I beg you not to be good for me?"

The corners of his eyes were red, and he opened his eyes wide to keep the tears in his eyes, "It's fine if you don't come back, and I can still lie to myself that everything is over... But you fucking want to come back and tell me that is Liar! Let me feel bad again! What do you want?!"

Gu Qiaochu blinked his eyes, he saw Lu Zhiang screaming hoarsely in front of his eyes, and suddenly thought of a long time ago...

"Gu Qiaochu! Do you fucking see me?!"
