endless city

(One)

The Xu family has been running the jadeite business for generations. In Xu Zizheng's generation, the Xu family once faced bankruptcy due to the betrayal of his elder brother Xu Ziming. Fortunately, Xu Zizheng turned the tide and created a brand new business kingdom.

During the most difficult years of the Xu family, there was a person who was always by Xu Zizheng's side, working hard with him without complaint——that was Xu Zizheng's most trusted assistant, named Mo Cheng.

Mo Cheng is like Xu Zizheng's right-hand man. The reason why he is so loyal to Xu Zizheng is actually very simple. When his family was poor, his father, who was addicted to gambling, owed a large amount of gambling debts. He was chased several times and became homeless. However, it was Xu Zizheng, a senior, who saved him, allowed him to graduate smoothly, and gave him a stable job.

Mo Cheng's character is honest and honest, and he has always believed in the principle of "a drop of water, a spring of gratitude". He often touched his son's head and said with a smile: "Xiao Mo, if it weren't for Mr. Xu, Dad would have graduated smoothly. , marry a wife and have children, maybe he was hacked to death by a debt collector long ago in an alley..."

Mo Yang was very young at the time and didn't understand his father's meaning. However, in his young heart, his father's nagging all day long instilled a deep-rooted thought———The Xu family is kind to us, and without Xu Zizheng, we would be happy. Today without dad.

Under his father's brainwashing, the little Mo Yang also regarded Xu Zi as his family's great benefactor. Even when applying for the college entrance examination, Mo Yang followed his father's wishes and filled in the column of "first choice" Business management".

Mo Yang has completely inherited his father's honest and honest character, plus he is tall and handsome, shy when he smiles and blushes when he speaks, such a young handsome guy has attracted the attention of countless girls as soon as he enters the school, even Many seniors gave him their phone number on the grounds of "ask me for help if you need it". With the enthusiastic help of the seniors, Mo Yang was at a loss and blushed even more.

In fact, he had just discovered his sexuality at the time.

The boy is in his youth, it is normal to secretly like a beautiful woman or have a erotic dream, but for some reason, he has no feeling for a beautiful girl, but when facing a boy, he feels nervous and his heart beats faster.

The honest Mo Yang thought that there was something wrong with him, and secretly checked a lot of information on the Internet, only to find out later that he was born homosexual in this situation.A natural gay man like him has no desire for women at all, and his sexuality is very difficult to change. Mo Yang had no choice but to accept the reality slowly and keep this secret in his heart.

What frustrates him even more is that he is not only born gay, but also a pure zero.A tall and handsome pure size 0 with a height of more than 1.8 meters is a miracle even in the gay circle...

A month later, Mo Yang finally plucked up the courage to go to the most famous local gay bar.

A tall and handsome guy like him with a youthful student air on his body immediately attracted the attention of countless people when he arrived at the bar. A group of hungry little zeros came up and asked, "Where is the handsome guy from?" "Handsome guy!" Do you want to drink?" "The handsome guy will accompany me to go out for a stroll at night..."

Mo Yang was entangled by those slim-waisted and long-legged little shou, his face was flushed, and one unrestrained little shou even winked and sat in his arms, so scared that Mo Yang knocked down a glass of wine, and said embarrassingly, " sorry Sorry……"

The young receivers were full of enthusiasm, isn't it just to be teased by such a young guy coming to the bar?

Thus, poor Mo Yang was surrounded by the little ones.

Just as his face was blushing in bewilderment, a man with slightly long hair and a handsome appearance suddenly walked over, broke through the crowd and rescued Mo Yang from the encirclement.The man took Mo Yang to the VIP seat in the corner and sat down, stretched out his hand gracefully, and said with a smile: "Let's get to know each other, my surname is Yu, and I'm a few years older than you. If you don't mind, you can call me brother Sheng Yu." .”

Mo Yang hurriedly called out: "Brother Yu, hello, my name is Mo Yang..."

Brother Yu smiled and asked, "Are you a student?"

Mo Yang nodded and said, "Yeah, I'm a freshman this year."

Brother Yu laughed: he picked up the goblet and drank a few sips of red wine, then said flatly, "Look at you, did you just find out about your sexual orientation and come here to explore?"

This bar has a good reputation in the local gay circle. The owner came back from studying in Italy. The bar is decorated in a romantic way. It only provides a place for gays to drink and communicate. It does not do sex business like male prostitutes. It's rare to clear it.

Mo Yang also did some research before he dared to come to explore the way alone. He didn't expect that the young people here would be so enthusiastic and surrounded him to tease him.

Brother Yu looked back at him, and said with a half-smile, "This circle is much more chaotic than you imagined, so be careful in everything, remember not to call 419 casually, it is easy to get sick..."

The man looked to be about 30 years old, and he talked to Mo Yang as someone who had been here, but Mo Yang didn't feel disgusted, and replied softly: "I know, thank you for your advice..." He blushed again, "I didn't want to find People 419."

Surrounded by straight men and straight women, Mo Yang is about to suffocate himself, so he wants to come here to chat with like-minded people, but most of the gays who come to the bar are to find a partner 419, and Mo Yang is just here for sightseeing Rather rare.

Mo Yang probably also felt that he was a bit stupid, so he lowered his head in embarrassment after he finished speaking.

Seeing the shy and youthful look of the big boy in front of him, Brother Yu couldn't help but smile slightly, resisting the urge to reach out and rub his head, leaned into his ear and asked softly: "Student Mo, are you a victim?" Bar?"

Mo Yang: "..."

Mo Yang's face turned red suddenly, Brother Yu finally couldn't help laughing, pointed at Mo Yang and said, "It's too wasteful."

To be honest, a handsome and tall Chun Shou like Mo Yang is really a waste of resources. Most of the shou in the gay circle are the delicate and gentle types, and the gay circle in the south has more shou and less attack. A tall guy like Mo Yang is actually a shou. Many young shou who want to molested him will be heartbroken up.

Brother Yu finished laughing, leaned close to Mo Yang's ear, and said mysteriously, "I'm also number 0, I think it's only comfortable to be gay down there...Leave a phone number, and come out to play together later."

This gentleman surnamed Yu spoke so explosively that Mo Yang blushed and exchanged phone numbers with him, and thus met his first friend in the circle.

The courses in the business schools of prestigious universities are heavy, and many courses are taught in English. Mo Yang puts most of his energy on his studies, and occasionally goes to the gay bar to sit and chat with brother Yu.

He gradually understands the complexity and chaos of the gay circle, such as someone who has contracted AIDS through promiscuity, a couple of lovers cheating on each other and fighting with Xiao San, and couples who are desperately in love and get married separately due to family pressure...

Whenever he heard these negative news, Mo Yang always felt chills in his heart.

Now the country does not allow same-sex marriage. The concept of family inheritance that has lasted for thousands of years cannot be changed so quickly. Homosexuality cannot be recognized by the society, causing Gays to gradually lose confidence in love. Most Gays play for a few years while they are young. Years later, he went home to get married and deal with his parents. The circle was full of smog, bed partners were easy to find, and true love was hard to find.

Mo Yang didn't know how long he could walk on this road, thinking of his parents' sadness when they learned that their only son was gay, he felt his chest was tight and he couldn't breathe.

In his senior year, Mo Yang's best friend in the circle, brother Yu, finally met true love. It is said that the man is very responsible, and he took brother Yu to go abroad to obtain a certificate. Mo Yang was very envious in his heart.

And Mo Yang also received a call from his father, Mo Cheng, asking him to go back to the headquarters of the Emerald Family in Xilin City for an internship.

On the day Mo Yang packed his luggage and returned to Xilin City, his parents picked him up at the airport together. The family of three went to have a reunion dinner. After returning home, Mo's mother pulled her son into the room and asked mysteriously: "Son, what are you doing?" Don't you have a girlfriend now? Mom knows a girl who is very beautiful and has a good personality. Let me introduce you to each other?"

Mo Yang: "..."

Mo's mother said earnestly: "You are not young anymore. After graduation, you will go to work in the Emerald Family and your job will be stable. You should also prepare to fall in love. After talking for a few years, you will get married. I am still waiting to have a grandson!"

Mo Yang: "..."

The kindness of parents sometimes puts a lot of pressure on people, especially since Mo Yang is still gay, it is impossible for him to marry a wife and have children smoothly, so what his mother said made him feel extra guilty.

Mo Yang scratched his head, and said falteringly: "Mom... don't worry about it, I'm only 22 years old, uh, wait until I'm 30 or so before thinking about getting married, and focus on career first..."

Mo's mother was dissatisfied and said: "Then you have to fall in love first. You have to fall in love a few times before you know who is suitable for you?"

Mo Yang had a splitting headache, but fortunately, Mo's father rescued him in time. Mo Yang sent his mother back to the bedroom, and then went to the study to listen to his father's brief introduction of the company's situation.

The next day, Mo Cheng drove his son to Xu's house.

The Xu family's villa is located in a very good location in the urban area. It is a three-story single-family house with a large garden and a swimming pool. Xu Zizheng can enjoy life. The garden is full of colorful flowers. When he walks to the front of the villa, he feels fresh The fragrance of flowers blows in the face, and the environment of the whole villa is very good, like a small park with beautiful scenery.

Mo Yang walked into the living room with his father. Xu Zi was sitting on the sofa watching TV. When he saw the two of them, he nodded and said, "This is Xiao Mo, right? Come and sit."

Mo Yang bowed respectfully and said, "Mr. Xu, hello."

Xu Zizheng smiled and said: "You don't have to be so polite, your father and I are old friends for many years, just call me Uncle Xu at home, and it's not too late to call Mr. Xu when we get to the company."

Mo Yang immediately changed his words obediently: "Yes, Uncle Xu."

Xu Zizheng is very satisfied with this child. He is very similar to Mo Cheng when he was young. He is honest and responsible, and he doesn't have too much scheming at first glance. This kind of person will make the boss feel at ease when he is a subordinate.Moreover, seeing that his age is not much different from his own son Shaoqian, the Emerald Family will always be handed over to Shaoqian in the future, Xu Zizheng called Mo Yang over, in fact, he wanted to find the most capable assistant for Shaoqian.

Mo Yang walked to the sofa with his father and sat down. At this moment, the door suddenly opened, and a young man in jeans and a white shirt stepped in.

The boy was tall and straight, with straight and slender legs, and his appearance was seventy percent similar to Xu Zizheng. He had a kind of indifferent temperament inherited from Xu Zizheng. He was young but had extraordinary momentum. His expressionless face looked as proud as the return of a king.

Facing the cold eyes of the young man, Mo Yang felt his heartbeat suddenly stop for half a beat.

Seeing that young man, Xu Zizheng's eyes softened rarely, and he smiled and said, "Shaoqian is back? Come and get acquainted, this is your Uncle Mo's son, Mo Yang."

Xu Shaoqian came over, stretched out his hand and said, "Hello."

His hands are beautiful, with slender fingers and well-defined joints. The boy who is still in the third year of high school has grown to a height of more than 1.8 meters. He stands in front of the sofa and leans over to look at Mo Yang, his eyes are cold and distant.

Mo Yang raised his head to look into those pitch-black eyes, and was stunned there for a while, unable to speak. Seeing his son in a daze, Mo Cheng couldn't help coughing lightly, and poked his son's arm: "Xiao Mo, this is me and my son. Shaoqian you mentioned."

Mo Yang came back to his senses, and hastily stretched out his hand to shake each other's hands: "Shaoqian, you, hello..."

His voice stammered, his face turned red, the moment his fingers touched, his heart beat so fast that it almost jumped out of his chest, Mo Yang was so nervous that he didn't even dare to look up at him.

Xu Shaoqian was very calm, shook Mo Yang's hand lightly, then withdrew it, looked back at Xu Zizheng and said, "Dad, Uncle Mo, let's talk first, I'm going upstairs to read a book."

Xu Zizheng nodded, "Go."

After Xu Shaoqian left, Mo Cheng sighed: "Shaoqian really worked hard, and he has to review his homework on weekends."

Xu Zizheng smiled and said, "The college entrance examination is coming soon, so it's normal to study hard."

Mo Yang sat blankly on the sofa, looking at the direction in which the boy disappeared. He didn't listen to a word of his father's discussion. His brain was in a mess. The boy's clear and cold eyes repeatedly flashed before his eyes, and his heartbeat was as fast as Lost rhythm.

Mo Yang is introverted, honest and not very talkative. Although he often went to gay bars in the past four years of college, he has never met anyone who makes his heart beat. In addition, he keeps himself clean and never 419 with others. Therefore, until now , he is still a little virgin who has never been in a relationship, and his relationship history is as clean as a blank sheet of paper.

——Until the day I met Xu Shaoqian.

The 22-year-old Mo Yang felt his heart beat for the first time.

(two)

That afternoon, Xu Zi was leaving Mo's father and son at home for dinner. In the evening, Mo Cheng and Xu Zi were going to the study to discuss business. Mo Yang was bored and turned around to wander outside.

The garden of the Xu family is taken care of by a special person. It is the midsummer season. The flowers in the garden are in full bloom. With green trees and neat lawns, the place where Xu's villa is located is like a paradise isolated in the center of the city.

Mo Yang walked a few steps forward, and when he reached the corner, he suddenly found a child sitting in the corner by the garden.

The child was sitting alone on the steps, holding his knees with his hands, and he didn't know what he was thinking. The whole person was shrouded in the shadow cast by the villa, and his head was hanging down, unable to see his expression.

In such a sunny day, the child who hides himself in the shadows makes people feel very lonely for no reason.

The child seemed to be aware of his gaze, and slowly raised his head.

—— Mo Yang suddenly met a pair of extremely clear eyes.

The child was very beautiful, with a pair of black and bright eyes, and a cold expression on his face. He was very thin, and the clothes on his body looked empty, and his face was morbidly pale.

The child who can appear near Xu's villa will definitely not be a passerby, who will it be?

Mo Yang couldn't help but asked the housekeeper next to him: "This child is..."

The butler smiled and replied, "This is the young master of the Xu family."

"...Oh." Mo Yang heard from his father that Xu Shaobai, the young master of the Xu family, has been weak and sickly since he was a child, and has a withdrawn personality. He never plays with his classmates and always stays alone. Xu Zizheng has nothing to do with him. .

Children of this age were originally playing mischievously, but Xu Shaobai could only stay at home and take injections and medicines because of his physical condition. At such a young age, he had to face the torment of illness, his face was as pale as paper, and he looked very poor...

Seeing the child sitting alone in the corner, Mo Yang couldn't help feeling distressed, he turned around, walked to the child and squatted down, stretched out his hand and said, "Are you Shaobai? Hello, my name is Mo Yang .”

The child looked at him warily, his cold eyes seemed to be looking at the enemy.

Mo Yang smiled and withdrew his hand, looked down at the pattern drawn with branches on the ground, and asked softly: "What is this you drew? Uh...it's morning glory, right? It looks quite similar... ..."

Xu Shaobai looked at Mo Yang coldly, but did not answer.

Mo Yang was completely unaware of the child's hostility towards him. He was still studying the child's masterpiece, and the more he looked at it, the more he was amazed. "You have a talent for drawing. Who is this person? It's your brother." Is this your father?"

Mo Yang pointed to the portraits on the ground, the faces drawn with branches were not very clear, but the contours of facial features similar to Xu Shaoqian and Xu Zizheng could be vaguely recognized.

Sitting alone in a corner and drawing his brother and father on the ground, this child actually longs for his brother and father to care more about him, right?It's a pity that Xu Zizheng is busy with business, and Xu Shaoqian is also busy with homework, the two of them can't spare too much time to take care of him. According to his father, Xu Shaobai was accompanied by the housekeeper when he went to the hospital last time.

Mo Yang felt that this child was very distressing, so he couldn't help stretching out his hand to gently stroke the child's head, and said softly, "You draw really well."

Xu Shaobai: "..."

Xu Shaobai glanced at him, then took the branch that was thrown aside, and began to scribble on the ground.

Mo Yang was also idle and bored, so he sat down with Xu Shaobai.

He was many years older than Xu Shaobai, Xu Shaobai was about to graduate from elementary school at that time, and he was about to graduate from university, there was no common language between them, but Mo Yang thought it was quite interesting to sit quietly and watch children draw.

Xu Shaobai drew Xu Zizheng on the ground again, this time the drawing is better than before, the eyebrows, nose, eyes are all lifelike, if it is painted with paper and pen, it will definitely be more similar.

This eccentric child actually has a kind heart... Mo Yang turned his head to look at Xu Shaobai's earnest drawing, and the more he looked at it, the more cute he felt, and he couldn't help but reached out and touched the child's head.

He didn't know what his unintentional approach that afternoon meant to the young Xu Shaobai.

——At the moment when he came with a smile, Xu Shaobai raised his head, as if seeing the warmest sunshine.

(three)

After returning home that night, Mo Yang went back to the house and turned on his laptop to surf the Internet. A message happened to be sent on QQ. It was a photo of brother Yu and his man getting married in front of the church. The two were holding hands, looking romantic and happy.

Mo Yang replied: "Congratulations Brother Yu! When are you coming back? I'll treat you to dinner!"

Brother Yu smiled and said, "I'll go back after the honeymoon is over, how about you? Are you ready for an internship?"

Mo Yang said: "Well, the company has been found, and I will report tomorrow."

Brother Yu said, "Not bad, work hard."

Mo Yang hesitated for a moment, then typed and asked: "By the way, I met someone today... I seem to like him quite a bit."

Brother Yu was very helpless to this stunned young man, so he simply made an international long-distance call.

"Who is it? Tell me?"

Hearing the laughing voice, Mo Yang's ears turned red slightly. Thinking of Xu Shaoqian's indifferent appearance, his mood was complicated for a while, "Uh...that man should be a straight man, a few years younger than me, and very handsome. Personality is a bit cold..."

Brother Yu said with a smile: "You haven't been in a relationship in these years, so be brave this time and take the initiative to chase after him?"

Mo Yang: "..."

Imagining the scene of proactively pursuing Xu Shaoqian, Mo Yang felt the chills running down his spine, not to mention that Xu Zizheng would kill him, his father would also kill him.

Mo Yang lowered his head in frustration, "Forget it, I have no chance with him."

Brother Yu was puzzled: "How is it impossible? How do you know if you don't try?"

Mo Yang sighed lightly: "He is a straight man, and his father is my father's immediate boss. His family background is very complicated. He will definitely inherit the family business in the future. How could he be with a man..."

Brother Yu was silent for a moment, and comforted softly: "Xiao Mo, it is not easy to change the sexual orientation of a straight man. If his family background is complicated, I think you should give up as soon as possible, otherwise you will be together. If we don't pass the test at home, we will part ways in the end, and it will be mostly painful."

Mo Yang lowered his head: "...I know."

Brother Yu smiled and said, "Don't be sad, maybe he's not the one you're looking for... You'll meet someone more suitable in the future."

Mo Yang hummed and hung up the phone.

Brother Yu was right, Xu Shaoqian was not the right person for him.He is very sensible and sober. With the relationship between the Mo family and the Xu family, it is impossible for him and Xu Shaoqian to be together. In addition, Xu Shaoqian's aura is too straight. Bend...he is not tired of work.

Although intellectually he knew that he should give up, but Mo Yang was still a little bit lost in his heart.

It was the first time in so many years that I fell in love with someone, and it was the first time I knew the feeling of heartbeat, but in the end, I didn't even have the possibility to work hard.

Time flies very fast, and in the blink of an eye, it was June. Xu Shaoqian finished the college entrance examination. Unexpectedly, he did not apply for the business school, but went to the film school. This choice surprised Mo Cheng and Mo Yang and his son.

On the day Xu Shaoqian left, Mo Yang also went to the airport with his father to see him off. Xu Shaoqian was wearing simple jeans and a shirt, dragging a black suitcase in his hand, with a calm and indifferent expression on his face.

Xu Zizheng patted his son on the shoulder and said, "Don't leave any regrets for yourself."

Xu Shaoqian said seriously: "I know, Dad, don't worry." Xu Shaoqian looked down at his watch and picked up the suitcase, "It's getting late, I should go to the security check...Dad, Uncle Mo, and Mo Yang ,goodbye."

Xu Zizheng smiled and nodded.

Xu Shaoqian turned and left, Mo Yang stood there watching him go.

The young man's tall back quickly disappeared into the crowd. Mo Yang stood where he was, staring blankly at the direction Xu Shaoqian left... He knew that from now on, the distance between him and Xu Shaoqian would only get further and further away, and he The love hidden in the bottom of my heart will never have a chance to say it.

Because, this relationship was doomed from the very beginning to nowhere, without a glimmer of light.

(three)

Life was busy and fulfilling. Mo Yang gradually gained a firm foothold in the Emerald Family. Apart from Xu Zizheng's care and support, Mo Yang himself was also very competitive. He was honest, low-key, and serious and reliable in his work. Put him in the company to help.

Once, Xu Zizheng and Mo Cheng went on a business trip to the American branch, and the business trip would take a whole month. Knowing that Shaobai seemed to like Mo Yang, Xu Zizheng entrusted Mo Yang to take care of Xu Shaobai by the way.

Xu Shaobai wanted to go to the hospital for regular checkups, and that day happened to be the weekend, so Mo Yang took the initiative to take on this task and personally accompanied Xu Shaobai to the hospital to see a doctor.

Xu Shaobai, who entered junior high school, has grown a lot taller, but he is still very thin, his skin is sickly pale, he still walks alone, he doesn't like to talk to his classmates, but every time he sees Mo Yang, his eyes will be filled with tears. Can not help but emerge bright brilliance.

Seeing the child obediently waiting for him at the door, Mo Yang couldn't help but walked up to pat his head, and said softly, "Shaobai, did Mr. Xu tell you? I'll take you to the hospital."

Xu Shaobai nodded: "Well, Dad said it."

Mo Yang opened the car door, smiled and said, "Then let's go."

Xu Shaobai sat in the co-pilot's seat and fastened his seat belt. Mo Yang asked with concern: "Shaobai, how is your body recently? Do you feel okay?"

Xu Shaobai didn't speak, he lowered his head and didn't know what he was thinking.

Mo Yang lightly shook the back of Shaobai's hand, and whispered, "Don't worry, it's fine."

He was holding the steering wheel with his left hand, and he gently squeezed Xiao Shaobai's fingers on his knee with his right hand just now. Although it was just a touch of comfort, it made Xu Shaobai's heart move, and he couldn't help but look back at this young man. man.

Mo Yang's appearance is undoubtedly very good, good-looking eyebrows and a high nose bridge make the outline of the whole face look sunny and handsome, and when he smiles, he feels very warm.

Realizing that Xiao Shaobai was staring at him, Mo Yang turned around in doubt: "What's wrong?"

With a sullen face, Xu Shaobai looked away awkwardly, "It's nothing."

——It’s just that I suddenly felt that this man was very handsome.

The hospital arrived soon, because Xu Shaobai has been seeing a doctor in this private hospital, the attending physician and the bed were arranged by Xu Zizheng in advance, and Mo Yang accompanied Shaobai to give injections in the ward after the examination results came out.

Xu Shaobai's arm looks very slender. Due to long-term illness, his skin is pale and nearly transparent. The nurse used rubber bands to tighten his wrist when giving him needles, and the marks left by frequent needle needles on the back of his hands became very obvious. I felt pain even when I was holding it, but Xu Shaobai's expression was very calm, obviously he was used to it.

This child has been used to the atmosphere of the hospital since he was very young, and it is not easy to treat the hospital as his second home...

Mo Yang was a little distressed, and after the nurse left, he walked over and said softly: "Shaobai, I will leave the phone to you, your father is on a business trip for a long time, if you have any discomfort, just call me .”

Mo Yang copied the number and handed it to Xu Shaobai. After thinking for a while, he took out an apple from the fruit basket he bought just now, and asked with a smile, "Do you want to eat fruit? Shall I peel one for you?"

Xu Shaobai nodded.

So Mo Yang sat by the bed and started peeling apples seriously.

The young man has slender fingers, holds a fruit knife, and has a very focused expression. His bangs hang down to cover his forehead, and he has a little smile on his face. His movements are very standard, and the peeled apples have never been broken.

After an apple was peeled, Mo Yang handed it to Xu Shaobai and said with a smile, "Eat it."

Xu Shaobai held the apple and gnawed it.

He is only 13 years old now, but he is much more sensible than his peers. He looks very cute with his head bowed and obediently eating an apple. Mo Yang couldn't help but reach out and touch his head, his face was as gentle as a brother.

Xu Shaobai raised his head, met Mo Yang's gaze, and unexpectedly smiled with a rare smile.

Outside the window, the sun is just right.

That afternoon, the pale young man lying on the hospital bed raised his head and looked seriously at the man with gentle eyes in front of him, feeling extremely calm and peaceful in his heart.

(four)

Mo Yang didn't notice anything wrong with this way of getting along at all, he had some sympathy for Xu Shaobai, and he was an only child, so he took care of Xu Shaobai as his own brother.

During the days when Xu Zizheng was not in the country, Mo Yang went to Xu Shaobai to visit Xu Shaobai every day after work. First, the doctor said that Shaobai’s current physical condition must not be infected, so he was not worried about Xu Shaobai’s condition; second, he also wanted more Accompany this lonely child, and sometimes bring him something fun, and occasionally cook for him.

At this time, Xiao Shaobai leaned against the door of the kitchen and looked at him eagerly. Mo Yang smiled and brought him the porridge that he had prepared. ...

He seems to like the food made by Mo Yang very much, and Mo Yang is also very happy that he can eat more to supplement nutrition. He looks really too thin, so thin that it makes people feel distressed.

After dinner that night, when Mo Yang was about to leave, Xu Shaobai suddenly asked, "Brother Mo Yang, can you stay here and sleep with me?" Pulling him gently, with a trace of pleading on his face: "I can't sleep alone, these days I always have nightmares... dreaming of my mother..."

When Mrs. Xu passed away, Shaobai was less than five years old. At such a young age, he was seriously ill and lost his mother. His father was busy with business and seldom took care of him. This is how Xu Shaobai's withdrawn character was developed.

Facing the pale child's pleading gaze, Mo Yang's heart softened all of a sudden.

Seeing Mo Yang nodding, Xu Shaobai was very happy, he ran upstairs to find him a new set of pajamas, Mo Yang planned to sleep in the guest room, but Xu Shaobai wanted to sleep with him, Mo Yang had no choice but to go to Xu Shaobai's room Accompany him.

Xiao Shaobai's room was very clean and tidy, with only a bed, a wardrobe and a desk. There were no decorations or posters on the walls, and there was no game equipment in the room. It didn't look like a boy's bedroom at this age at all.

The bed was quite big, more than enough to sleep the two of them.

Mo Yang lifted the quilt and went to bed, Xu Shaobai immediately searched for a heat source and rubbed into his arms, stretched out his thin arms to hug him, buried his head in Mo Yang's arms, and whispered: "Brother Mo Yang, I can hug him." Are you sleeping?"

This kind of dependence like a small animal made Mo Yang's heart soften.

He could feel the child's loneliness. The many years of illness should have received more love from his family, but his father and brother are both proud and indifferent people, and there are too many things to deal with. The time that can be allocated to this child is already not much.Poor little Shaobai has been very sensible since he was a child. I heard that he never cried when he got an injection when he was very young...

Mo Yang touched Shaobai's head distressedly, and said softly: "Go to sleep, you have to get up early tomorrow, I'll take you to school."

Xu Shaobai rubbed against his arms, hugged Mo Yang, and fell asleep happily.

In the next few days, Xu Shaobai wants Mo Yang to sleep with him at Xu's house. Once Mo Yang refuses to agree, he will show a very sad and wronged expression. Mo Yang is a soft-hearted person, and there is nothing wrong with this child. , after asking his father and Mr. Xu for advice, he simply moved to Xu's house temporarily to stay with Shaobai.

Xu's house is very close to the company, Mo Yang sent Shaobai to school every morning, and then changed to go to work.After a month like this, the relationship between the two is getting better and better, and the way of getting along is like brothers.

That night, when Xu Shaobai went to the bathroom to take a shower, Mo Yang was chatting with brother Yu with his computer on, when Xu Shaobai's cell phone rang suddenly, and the caller ID was "brother".

When Mo Yang saw this title, his heart beat like a drum.

Xu Shaobai's elder brother is obviously only Xu Shaoqian. Ever since Xu Shaoqian went to university, Mo Yang and Xu Shaoqian have not been in touch for a long time.

Like a ghost, Mo Yang picked up Xu Shaobai's cell phone and pressed the answer button.

Sure enough, a familiar voice came from my ear, "Shaobai, have you been to the hospital for an examination recently?"

Mo Yang gripped the phone tightly, "...I, I am Mo Yang"

Xu Shaoqian was a little surprised, "Mo Yang? Why is Shaobai's cell phone in your hand?"

Mo Yang's voice trembled slightly, "Well... Mr. Xu is on a business trip. I accompanied Shaobai to the hospital for regular check-ups these few days. He just went to take a bath."

Xu Shaoqian quickly reacted, and whispered: "Oh, I'm sorry to trouble you. How is Shaobai's situation?"

Mo Yang replied softly: "The doctor said that the condition is still stable, pay attention to regular checkups, don't catch a cold and have a fever..."

Xu Shaoqian nodded: "That's good."

The two were not familiar with each other at all, and they didn't have much in common, so the atmosphere was a bit awkward.After a moment of silence, Mo Yang swallowed his saliva and asked in a low voice, "Shaoqian... how are you doing at the Film Academy?"

Xu Shaoqian said, "It's okay."

Another moment of silence.

Mo Yang asked: "Uh...will you come back from vacation?"

Xu Shaoqian said: "There is a production team looking for a supporting role. I passed the interview. I may stay and film during the holidays, and I won't go home."

Mo Yang rubbed his nose embarrassingly, "Oh...it would be nice to have more experience in acting."

Xu Shaoqian said, "Yes."

Mo Yang: "..."

He couldn't speak anymore.Xu Shaoqian had a cold personality, and the two of them had no common language, making a phone call extremely embarrassing. Mo Yang was always looking for topics, but he didn't know what to talk to him about.

Realizing this, Mo Yang suddenly felt a little uncomfortable. He was silent on the phone for a long time before he whispered: "...Why don't you hang up first, and I'll ask him to call after Shaobai takes a shower. you."

Xu Shaoqian said, "Okay."

Hanging up the phone resolutely, Mo Yang lowered his head and stared blankly at the phone screen. At this moment, a cold voice suddenly came from his ear: "Who are you calling?"

Mo Yang shook his hand, dropped the phone on the bed, turned his head, and met Xu Shaobai's gaze.

I don't know if it was an illusion, but at that moment, Mo Yang suddenly felt that the eyes of the little boy who was standing not far away and looking at him were cold.

But soon, Xu Shaobai came over and looked at him with a innocent and harmless expression: "Did my brother call? I heard you had a good chat with him. What are you talking about?"

Mo Yang picked up the phone awkwardly and handed it back, "It's your brother's number."

Xu Shaobai picked up the phone to call back, and hung up after saying a few words.

Mo Yang was still in a daze, Xu Shaobai suddenly sat next to him, and gently hugged him: "Brother Mo Yang..."

Mo Yang was startled: "Huh?"

Xu Shaobai asked: "Do you like my brother very much?"

As if pouring a basin of cold water on his head, Mo Yang's whole body became cold, and he didn't know what to do.

Xu Shaobai is only 13 years old, but because he was very smart and got good grades, he skipped two grades in a row. Now he is in the second grade of junior high school. He looks very thin, so Mo Yang always treats him like a child.

But it was only at this moment that Mo Yang suddenly realized that perhaps Xu Shaobai was much more sensible than he thought...
