in the center of the universe

Guan Zang was beaten until the corners of his mouth cracked, and he stared at him blankly.Guan Jingyuan gasped for breath and roared, "How dare you beat my grandson! What are you!"

"Shut up, old man!" Yan Keji raised the high-heeled shoes in his hand and pointed at Guan Jingyuan: "I can beat your grandson as much as I want! Is it okay?!" After scolding, he bowed his head viciously Staring at Guan Zang, "What did you promise me! Repeat it for me!"

Guan Jingyuan was so angry that he didn't know what he was cursing. The wheelchair was now in manual mode, and he couldn't push it.

"As long as you are here, I will never kill someone because of my emotions, nor will I because of you."

"louder!"

Guan Zang said louder, louder again, and repeated three times.

"Then what are you doing today? What time is it? What's going on on the sofa?! Don't tell me you two are reminiscing about old times! Do you want to play with me like 'not for me, but for your Uncle Ma' A word game?!" Yan Keji searched all his pockets and found an empty syringe.Guan Zang was beaten so that his glasses flew off, and the lenses fell to the ground and cracked.

Guan Zang moved his lips, his teeth were covered with blood, and said in a low voice: "I'm sorry, I won't do it anymore." He added rather guiltyly: "And not yet."

"Don't fucking talk to me like that! Are you trying to make me angry?!"

"No, I'm sorry." Guan Zang was like a primary school student who made a mistake, saying sorry over and over again, saying don't be angry, there really won't be a next time.

Guan Jingyuan watched in vain, the crime and punishment that had nothing to do with her but related to her.To see his uncontrollable grandson, devoted to a rag he despises, to believe in a filthy god in the mud.

He lost his grandson forever.Maybe he lost his grandson a long time ago, starting from Guan Lehua, starting from Alice, starting from any moment when he thought he made the best choice.

Guan Jingyuan closed her eyes and opened them again, but there was no wave in her eyes.

Yan Keji had enough scolding and beating, stood up and kicked Guan Zang: "Call your Uncle Ma!" He put on his shoes and looked around for his coat: "Where is my mink?" Opened the door and found it at the door, picked it up and patted it, put on.

Guan Zang found the glasses and put them on, walked towards Guan Jingyuan, looked at him quietly through the broken lenses for a while, took off the newly replaced medicine bottle from the drip stand, and let go of his hands.Potion and shards of glass dripped all over the floor.

"Goodbye, Grandpa."

It's snowing, and a thin layer is spread on the road, like delicious icing, and like pickled salt.The footprints of Yan Keji and Guan Zang stepped over this sugar and salt, silently.

As soon as Yan Keji turned around, he wanted to scold Guan Zang again, but just as he opened his mouth, he closed it again. He paused for a while, and asked, "Why are you crying?"

Guan Zang shook his head and said, "I don't know." Feeling strange, he frowned and wiped his fingers under his eyes.Tears still flowed from his puzzled eyes and slid across his cheeks, bringing him a strange touch.

Yan Keji didn't rub it for him, but asked, "Are you sad?"

"No, not at all, but rather happy."

"Crazy," Yan Keji said, "I get used to it after crying a few times." After speaking, he continued to walk forward and took a taxi on the side of the road: "Hey, don't get used to it too much." The nosebleed dripped down again, and he wiped it off impatiently. "You're so happy."

"Because—" Guan Zang stopped suddenly, "Keji, you're scared."

Ma Qianjia's cell phone rang suddenly, and he pressed the answer button several times before he hit the answer button, but he didn't seem to dare to listen to it.Until he heard the familiar "Uncle Ma", he covered his eyes with one hand, and then covered his mouth, but he didn't cover his tears, nor did he cover his crying.

Crying and scolding Guan Zang, like a father furious at a lost child who has just been found.

Guan Zang had a fever.Curled up on the small bed in Yan Keji's dormitory, with his forehead against his neck.He was scolded: "Don't you like the cold and catch a cold?"

Guan Zang chuckled: "When Alice and her mother left, they both seemed to be asleep, so I thought they were asleep—fortunately, the winter here is very long. It allows me to see them more .If Uncle Ma and Keji die before me, I will do the same."

Yan Keji paused: "He and I are still alive. We will talk about the dead matter after death."

"Well, I understand."

"Your Uncle Ma said that you were not the one who killed your father."

Guan Zang laughed, "He hopes so, and thinks it should be so. What does Keji think?"

"I think it's you, I hope it's you."

Guan hid a grunt in his throat and hugged him tightly.

"I want to have sex with Keji." After speaking, he licked his earlobe, the earlobe that was injured by the earring being ripped off.Suck out a taste of blood.While saying, "Don't give me the fucking cold", he turned over and kissed Guan Zang.

Guan Zang sat by Ma Qian's bed and peeled apples again.Ma Qianjia rubbed his dry eyes and coughed.No one asked what happened yesterday, the silence was full of unfamiliar intimacy and gentle embarrassment.

"What's the matter with the face, Yan Keji slapped it?"

"He's angry."

"It's like this when you're angry? What about others?"

Guan Zang touched the red and swollen corners of his mouth, and smiled slightly: "I have a cold, I will come later." After peeling the apple, cut it into small pieces, put on a toothpick, and brought it to Ma Qian's family.Just as Ma Qianjia picked up one piece, he put it down again, ignored Guan Zang, and asked in a low voice: "I used to always ask you this and that, do you have anything you want to ask Uncle Ma?"

Guan Zang said, "Yes. There is something I've always wanted to ask."

"what?"

"Why don't you pursue my mother?"

Ma Qianjia froze for a few seconds, then began to eat apples, one by one.He answered vaguely: "I am a doctor, a psychiatrist..."

"Before Alice was born, I thought she was your daughter."

Ma Qianjia almost choked on Apple. "I, I, I'm that kind of—that kind of person?"

Guan Zang smiled: "That's right. Uncle Ma can't say 'you are an angel'. He can only give a printed skirt as a gift, and he doesn't have a wife yet."

"Are you burying me?"

"I'm blaming you." Guan Zang looked at him and said softly, "I've been blaming you all this time." Ma Qianjia was stunned for a moment, and continued to eat apples until his eyes became hot.

The door of the ward was swung open, and Yan Keji came in and said in a low voice, "The nurse told you to pay the hospital bill!"

The VIP ward deducts quite a lot every day, and the previous payment has been spent.Guan Zang picked up his coat in response and went to the first floor to pay the fee.Yan Keji sat down, blew his nose until Ma Qianjia frowned, and began to eat fruit unceremoniously after blowing.

"Yesterday, what did he do?" Ma Qianjia was stared at by Yan Keji, blushing as if he understood something, "I'm not talking about you two! What are you thinking?! I said he and his grandfather!"

Yan Keji said "Oh", "You just need to know that nothing will happen."

Ma Qianjia was silent for a while, and said: "I never understood why he likes you, and now I understand."

"I don't understand why my son is looking for such a partner. Isn't that a normal generation gap between parents? So what if you explain it plainly. I didn't say that I will lock up with your family for the rest of my life. Maybe someday it will be separated."

Ma Qianjia was very unhappy, but had to endure it, "I thought you liked Guan Zang too."

"When did I say I don't like it anymore?" Yan Keji asked back.

Ma Qian's family couldn't go together with him, and the two sentences were not going in the same direction.After getting angry for a while, he asked again: "You know so many things about him, are you not afraid of him at all?"

"What's so scary, if he can't kill me, I'll kill him." Yan Keji blew his nose again, scolding Guan Zang for "harming people".

Ma Qianjia took a deep breath and said suddenly, "I was afraid of him."

Yan Keji threw the toilet paper into the trash can, and watched Ma Qianjia look down at the oxidized apples in the bowl.

"When Guan Zang was 13 years old, when he was 17 years old, I was afraid of him many times." Guan Zang calmly planned to kill his relatives, Guan Zang who appeared suddenly in the dark, Guan Zang who never complained about any situation without fear Tibetan.

"Then you are still by his side, doing things that you think will make him resent?"

"Because I care more about him, as well as his mother's love." Ma Qianjia said, "For 15 years, there is not a day that I don't think: He should be an emotional child, and he was afraid, crying and sad. He It shouldn't have turned out like this—" Ma Qianjia looked at him and said mockingly, "Although I don't want to admit it, you have done a lot of things that I should have done but failed to do."

"You did it." Yan Keji said, "I will go to him because you have made him an emotional person."

Ma Qianjia was silent for a while, then laughed out loud, "So you didn't really want 500 million at that time."

"I want it, why don't you want it? Don't you want to give you 500 million? Conflict? No conflict." Yan Ke turned over the fruit bag Guan Zang bought on his own, and found a box of cherries: "Damn it, it's so expensive! It must be delicious." I took it to the bathroom to wash, grabbed a few grains and put them in Ma Qian's bowl. "You give me 500 million now, and I can still consider leaving him, just in case your Guanzang is not happy!"

Ma Qianjia didn't want to talk to him.He took a cherries and ate it, frowning: "Can you rinse out the dish soap?!"
