[The summer solstice has not yet come] Carving time

<27>

Gu Qiaochu said to Li Wenwen, "We will talk again when we have a chance." In fact, this sentence is half-perfunctory, and most people can hear it.But Li Wenwen is not an easy person to dismiss, she skipped the physical education class on Thursday afternoon and came to the store, the time card was extremely accurate, even if Lu Zhiang didn't come to the store because he was at work.She took the initiative to greet the young man sitting by the window, "Hey, I'm here to listen to your follow-up."

Gu Qiaochu narrowed his eyes and smiled, put the bookmark in his hand and closed it, put his hands on his knees, and then said, "Are you too concerned about the story at that time?"

"You also said that this is a story." Li Wenwen winked at him playfully, and sat upright for a while, "Why don't you listen to the whole truth?"

"But it's not a story to share with others."

"Then is it appropriate for you to press it in your heart... I just want to know, since the two of you can choose to be together under pressure at that time, what is it... that separates you."

The question Li Wenwen asked was too sharp, and it was also a question that Gu Qiaochu had pondered over and over for so long.He would always think about what separated him from Lu Zhiang at the beginning, but later he realized that it was because they were too young.

They couldn't bear the more and more problems exposed to each other after living together. When all the beautiful fantasies about love in the ambiguous period were broken one by one, even though he and Lu Zhiang had worked hard, no one could be together. Persevere at that time.

It was an era that was not suitable for them to be together no matter from themselves or the surrounding social environment.

"It's not other insignificant things or people that separate us...it's ourselves." This is what Gu Qiaochu has always wanted to say to Lu Zhiang but has never said it, in this afternoon that is too sunny and not suitable for sadness When he told Li Wenwen, he felt uncomfortable like never before.

It was only after being with Lu Zhiang that Gu Qiaochu realized that he could be so stingy.

In front of Lu Zhiang, he tacitly allowed that girl named Yan Mo to stay at Lu Zhiang's house for a long time, but in his mind he kept reminding himself that the girl hooked Lu Zhiang's underwear with a fishing rod and even hung it on the doorknob of Lu Zhiang's house, and then Silently reduced the number of times he went to Lu Zhiang's house for dinner.

Mori Chuan told Gu Qiaochu about this after he came out from home and saw it. According to Mori Chuan's recollection, it was the first time he saw Gu Qiaochu smile so brightly.

When they encountered the first earthquake in Japan, it happened that Gu Qiaochu and Mori Chuan were having dinner at Lu Zhiang's house.Lu Zhiang invited Mori Chuan to eat with the idea that it was time for the Japanese to know his relationship with Gu Qiaochu. There were three people at a table, each with their own thoughts, and they had a meal without embarrassment or embarrassment.

When the window started to vibrate, Lu Zhiang hadn't reacted yet, but Morikawa, who was born and bred in Japan, reacted very quickly, shouted, "The earthquake is coming!" and hid under the dining table reflexively.

At the beginning of the reaction, Gu Qiao stood up quickly, grabbed Lu Zhiang and rushed to the bathroom.He pressed Lu Zhiang to sit in the corner, the toiletries on the shelf fell down and made a messy sound, he saw Lu Zhiang's pupils trembling, he grabbed the man's neck and pressed him into his arms, lowered said, "It'll be all right, huh?"

Lu Zhiang became quiet when he heard the upswing in Gu Qiaochu's words, his nose was filled with the cool mint smell of Gu Qiaochu's body.He persisted for a few seconds before suddenly remembering, "Yan Mo is upstairs alone!"

The earthquake had stopped, Gu Qiaochu was stunned for a moment, he pressed Lu Zhiang's shoulders who was about to stand up, and comforted lightly, "I'll go up and have a look, you stay here and don't move around, there may be aftershocks."

"Achu!"

Gu Qiaochu heard Lu Zhiang yell from behind, he didn't answer, didn't even pause, and ran upstairs to 80606.When walking on the stairs, the first wave of aftershocks came, Gu Qiaochu staggered a bit, and continued walking while holding on to the handrail.

When the door opened from the inside, Gu Qiaochu was still a little dazed, he looked at the girl who rushed out and dragged him crying.He heard Yan Mo roar, "Lu Zhiang why are you here!".He didn't react for a while, but when he saw Yan Mo's embarrassment of recognizing the wrong person, he suddenly couldn't bear it, and protected Yan Mo with one hand and walked down, "I'll take you to Lu Zhiang's, we have more people to take care of you. "

It stands to reason that this is Japan, where earthquakes often occur, and the level of earthquake resistance of buildings is first-class.Gu Qiaochu knew that he really didn't need to be so nervous about Lu Zhiang or Yan Mo, but he had encountered so many things and finally grew into a cautious man.Even he began to regret, maybe if it wasn't for him, Yan Mo should have dinner with Lu Zhiang tonight, she wouldn't be so scared.

When Gu Qiaochu thinks too much, it is often not a good omen, so that when he sees Yan Mo throwing himself into Lu Zhiang's arms, he doesn't react too much.

It can be said that this sudden earthquake made Gu Qiaochu gradually understand something. For example, men are creatures that tend to take care of others. A weak person who can arouse their desire to protect may be the best choice.

Over there, Yan Mo started calling home to report his safety. When Gu Qiaochu's phone rang, he glanced at the caller ID, told Lu Zhiang to call home, then turned around and went to the balcony door to answer the phone. "uh-huh?"

"You're so laid back!" Yu Lai was on the phone. When he was writing a report, he saw the Japanese earthquake news pushed on his computer, and immediately remembered to call Gu Qiaochu.As a result, when he heard Gu Qiaochu's "huh-hum", he relaxed and couldn't help but want to curse at others, "Can I have a snack... Are you okay?"

"It's not serious." Gu Qiaochu glanced back at the bits and pieces that had just been shaken to the ground, and added, "It's fine as long as people are fine."

Yu Lai thought to himself that as long as people have nothing to do, he squatted in the corridor and said, "I don't know what you want to go to Japan. The earthquake is the only thing to do. You said it would be nice if you came to Shanghai with me, magic city enchantment, typhoon The tsunami has to be detoured..."

He paused as he spoke, and after a long pause, his throat was a little hoarse and painful.Hearing Gu Qiaochu's soft laughter on the other end of the phone, he couldn't bear it anymore when the topic changed.He said, "Ah Chu, you should be nice to yourself, you know, if something really happens...Compared to Lu Zhiang, I definitely hope you are okay."

Gu Qiaochu always believed that Yu Lai would always be with his friend, if something happened to him, anyone could leave, Lu Zhiang could also leave, but Yu Lai would not.That was the most reliable friend he had made in the past 20 years, until Yu Lai beat Lu Zhiang until his face was covered with blood, he couldn't say a word against Yu Lai.

This was the first earthquake they experienced in Japan. Whether they were in Japan or stayed in China, they all knew how to call and ask if there was any accident.Later, they got used to the occasional small earthquakes that did not cause casualties, so they never panicked like this night.

And after Lu Zhiang, he never remembered the action of Gu Qiaochu stretching out his hand to press him into his arms during the earthquake.It was as if Gu Qiaochu at that time had been forgotten by him in time.

The next day Gu Qiaochu woke up early, and he couldn't sleep well all night, so he simply got out of bed after five o'clock.When he came out after washing, he scratched his hair with some headaches, stood beside the bed and frowned and pinched Lu Zhiang's face, "Get up, tidy up the things at home."

Lu Zhiang half-closed his eyes and raised his eyelids, without thinking too much, he reached out his hand to stop Gu Qiaochu's waist and dragged him back to the bed, "It's still early."

After muttering this, he suddenly opened his eyes in a daze and stared at Gu Qiaochu for a while, then raised his face and kissed Gu Qiaochu's forehead, "Don't frown...don't be unhappy."

Gu Qiaochu was stunned for a moment, he was a little unresponsive.In fact, he didn't realize that he was frowning at that time, and he didn't feel unhappy, but Lu Zhiang's kiss seemed to make him relax.He hesitated for a moment whether to explain to Lu Zhiang that he was not unhappy, but the words that came out of his mouth became, "Don't kiss me until you brush your teeth."

As soon as these words came out, Lu Zhiang immediately woke up. He was still holding Gu Qiaochu's waist through the quilt, but when he heard these words, he tightened his hands suddenly, and asked with staring eyes as if he couldn't believe it, " Did you dislike me just now?"

Gu Qiaochu only felt that the blue veins on his forehead were twitching when he was strangled, and he hit Lu Zhiang's back hard with his backhand, but he was in so much pain.He thought for a while, and instead of answering Lu Zhiang's question that seemed to be making trouble out of no reason, he said, "Do you feel that recently... your attitude when talking to me is not the same as before, and you have become a little arrogant?"

In fact, this is something Gu Qiaochu can't get used to for the time being.In his eyes, although they are together now, Lu Zhiang is also in the same grade as him, but he was his senior after all.He somewhat misses the Lu Zhiang who was easier to deal with back then, and now this skinny boy makes him have the urge to beat up again, which he had so hard to endure at the beginning.

Lu Zhiang narrowed his eyes and smiled, and asked him, "Is there?"

Gu Qiaochu thought about it, but he really didn't know how to answer.The change between Lu Zhiang and him is like a child who was satisfied with a lollipop that cost only one dollar at the beginning, but now he has reached out and asked him for a chocolate cake.

Lu Zhiang looked at Gu Qiaochu's lips pursed and said nothing, he thought for a while, then narrowed his eyes and said, "It doesn't matter...you should also like me now."

Really bad.

For the first time, Gu Qiaochu felt that sudden sprouting feeling in his mind. It was not like the light and faint feeling of liking that gradually arose after long-term companionship in the past, but it was like the most grand fireworks in Japan were behind this person. The momentary heartbeat that suddenly blooms.He raised his eyes and looked at Lu Zhiang who was smiling too brightly, and wondered in his heart that if it wasn't for him, which little girl would be harmed by this guy.

This question was answered until Yan Mo made a surprise visit after they cleaned up the house.

Gu Qiaochu chuckled and watched the little girl dragging Lu Zhiang out to buy something, and whispered, "It's Yan Mo..."
