madman

Chapter 4

When Zhou Xun woke up, it was already dark outside, and there were no lights in the room, it was pitch black.

The eight o'clock train must be too late, Zhou Xun is not in a hurry, anyway, he will be fine when he goes back, the company has already had the annual leave, and he will not go to work until the eighth day after the festival.Going back is also a cold pot and a cold stove alone.

The dark environment magnified his bodily sensations infinitely.

It hurts, there is not an inch of his body that does not hurt, like being run over by a car several times, he doesn't even want to lift his eyelids now, after doing it a few times, he doesn't know why he passed out.

Zhou Xun spat in his heart, Lin Zhile, that brat, did you use him as a sacrifice?

Fortunately, his body is still clean and refreshed. It seems that Lin Zhile still knows how to clean his body.The quilt covering her body also has the faint and cold fragrance in memory, which is the smell of Lin Zhile.I think it was built by Lin Zhile when he was sleeping these days.

Things after the reunion with Lin Zhile rolled into Zhou Xun's mind like shaking beans through a sieve, and he couldn't stop thinking about it.Thinking of doing it to him in a daze, Zhou Xun couldn't think normally.

The room was surprisingly quiet, Zhou Xun opened his mouth, and just about to speak, he suddenly took a mouthful of air, which rushed straight into his throat, hurting and choking.

Zhou Xun began to cough violently, his voice was earth-shattering.

The people outside the room finally came in after hearing the movement.

"What's wrong?" Lin Zhile went into the room, found the switch, and turned on the light. The sudden glare made Zhou Xun squint his eyes, and covered his eyes with the back of his hand.

"Ahem...water..." It took Zhou Xun a long time to get used to the light, and his voice was broken and hoarse.

Lin Zhile went out and poured him a glass of water. Zhou Xun couldn't get up, so he waved his hand. Lin Zhile helped him up from the bed, and put the pillow against the wall for him to lean on.

Zhou Xun took the water glass, it was a pure white ceramic cup, Lin Zhile didn't like complicated patterns, the water temperature was neither hot nor cold, just right, Zhou Xun drank a large glass of water.

Lin Zhile reached out and touched the top of his head, "You have a fever, I'll get you medicine."

Zhou Xun's eyelids were swollen badly, and his vision was no longer good, so he simply lay down again, "I don't take medicine."

"You're already in your thirties, don't act like a child." Lin Zhile said.

Zhou Xun smiled wryly, "Yes, no one is used to it now, and you have to take medicine when you are sick."

Lin Zhile paused, but went out and found antipyretics and anti-inflammatory medicines from his suitcase, and poured another glass of water.

Zhou Xun was not pretentious this time, and swallowed it all in one gulp.

Lin Zhile took the empty cup from Zhou Xun's hand, "You should have a good rest."

"You do not sleep?"

"I'm going to sleep."

"It's minus [-] degrees outside, you go out to sleep? Sleep in the snow?" Zhou Xun spoke with thorns, watching Lin Zhile change into clean clothes again, well-dressed, looking like a dog, but himself in a state of embarrassment Lying on the bed, I felt even more depressed.

"I'm going to grandma..."

"The bed in grandma's house was demolished a few years ago, three rooms, one bed, where are you going?" Zhou Xun stretched out his broken voice, "We only slept in the afternoon, why, afraid to share the bed with me , you can't help it?"

Lin Zhile sighed, put the cup on the bedside table, took off her shoes, and sat by the bed.

Zhou Xun moved in, and Lin Zhile lay beside him with his clothes on, pulled the quilt aside and put it on his body.

Zhou Xun closed his eyes and subconsciously tilted his head to Lin Zhile's side. The familiar cold fragrance was even stronger. He thought he would not be able to fall asleep if Lin Zhile was sleeping beside him, but after a while, he fell asleep , fairly stable.

Perhaps it was because of the cold medicine that Zhou Xun slept all night. He hadn't had a full night's sleep in five years, and this time he slept in a trance.

The next morning Zhou Xun was woken up by urinating, no matter how uncomfortable he was, he had to get up.He stretched out his hand and touched his side, it was cold.

Zhou Xun woke up completely with a jerk, the outside was still gloomy, a little light leaked through the cracks in the windows, hearing the sound, the wind was stronger, and there was no one in the room, Zhou Xun's heart trembled.

Lin Zhile said yesterday that someone picked him up this morning, but he has already left?

"Lin Zhile..." Zhou Xun got up from the bed.

There was no answer, just the rumbling of windows being blown by the wind.

Zhou Xun jumped off the bed and searched inside and out, but there was no one, so he ran to the door.

It turned out that the wind was so strong because it was snowing again, it was dark outside, and flakes of goose-like snow fell all over the sky.

Zhou Xun didn't know how long he stood at the door, and finally a figure appeared at the courtyard door, carrying something in his hand.

When Lin Zhile looked at Zhou Xun standing at the door, she ran over, looked at Zhou Xun's single clothes and trousers, and put him on his shoulders with a cold face, Zhou Xun was a little dizzy with his head down, No struggle.

Lin Zhile's face was livid, "Are you playing tricks with me?"

Zhou Xun hooked the corners of his lips and snorted softly: "Are you distressed?"

"You're overthinking, anyway, we've been together for so many years, even if it's for grandma, I can't really let you freeze." Lin Zhile hugged him to the bed.

Zhou Xun wanted to get down again, Lin Zhile pressed his shoulder and said, "Do you still want to go out and freeze?"

Zhou Xun was annoyed, "I'm going to pee, you come with me?"

Only then did Lin Zhile step aside, Zhou Xun's down jacket was completely useless, so he took a look at it, threw it at the end of the bed, hung it on a corner, put on a sweater and went out.

Lin Zhile kept staring at him, and Zhou Xun felt that there was a big fire hole in his back, but he didn't say anything in the end.

The toilets in the old house are all outside, and Zhou Xun didn’t pay much attention to them. Anyway, no one would look at them for tens of miles around. He directly found a place next to the haystack behind the house to solve the problem. The cold wind and heavy snow almost froze his birds. drop.

When Zhou Xun returned home trembling, Lin Zhile had already boiled a pot of hot water and was pouring it into the water bottle. Just now he went out to find the villagers to buy some daily necessities and food.

"Didn't you say you were leaving this morning?" Zhou Xun squatted beside the stove to warm himself up.

"It started to snow again in the middle of the night last night, and my assistant called me to tell me that the road from the county had been closed, and the plane and train from Mina River were both delayed and out of service, and I couldn't leave for a while. "Lin Zhile was busy at the side.

"Oh." Both of them couldn't leave, and had to stay together for a few more days.

Lin Zhile had already given him a reason yesterday, and it stands to reason that the obsession in his heart should also be let go, but the two of them had another fight, and now they have to stay together for a few more days, becoming an unreasonable mess one.

Zhou Xun thought to himself: What the hell is this?

He's a little numb now, and he won't be able to turn around for a while.

Lin Zhile's cell phone rang a few times, he picked up the phone, and Zhou Xun listened with pricked ears.

"Well, it's snowing and I can't go back for the time being," Lin Zhile walked to the window, "I will try my best to go back to the company's annual meeting."

"Okay," Lin Zhile laughed, "I'll find you when I get back."

Zhou Xun's chest hurts from Lin Zhile's soft voice, Lin Zhile's tenderness now belongs to another person on the phone.Instead of Zhou Xun.

He has experienced Lin Zhile's warmth for so many years. Zhou Xun remembers that when Lin Zhile was, he insisted on going to the police station to change his surname, saying that he wanted to be surnamed Zhou with Zhou Xun.

At that time, he said: "I want to follow your surname, and I will be yours for the rest of my life."

But when he arrived at the police station, the people from the household registration department said that he was an adult and that he could not change his name casually unless it violated public order and good customs.

In the end, the surname was not changed, and the whole life mentioned at the beginning was just a few short years later.

Zhou Xun now regrets the impulsiveness of last night. Originally, he could leave freely. As Lin Zhile said, Yangguan Road and the single-plank bridge are safe for each other. Don’t disturb anyone else.

In the past five years, he has imagined countless scenarios after the reunion, and now this is the most fucking one, he is like a frog that jumped into boiling water on its own initiative.Unable to jump out, I could only endure it by myself, feeling the deeper and deeper pain from the inside out.

After Lin Zhile finished making the phone call, she took out a tube of dried noodles from the bag she just brought back, "Do you want to eat?"

Zhou Xun was still in a panic, "I don't want to eat, I brought red date cake myself."

Lin Zhile didn't ask him any more, and cooked noodles for herself, and even laid down two eggs.

Zhou Xun took out the red date cake he bought from his bag, put it on the pan and heated it up, gnashing his teeth while eating, suddenly remembered that Lin Zhile also liked it, and subconsciously said, "Do you want to eat it?"

"I will not eat."

"Didn't you like to eat before?"

"The taste has changed, I stopped eating it a few years ago."

Zhou Xun's hand holding the jujube cake froze. It turned out that a person's habits can really change. He has been tossing around for so long, but there is still a trace of luck left in his heart. Lin Zhile is still the same Lin Zhile from before.

But the facts are right in front of his eyes, Lin Zhile is no longer the Lin Zhile five years ago, and he is no longer the little boy who hangs around him.

The jujube cake in his mouth didn't taste right to begin with, but now it tasted even worse, and the ones he had already eaten were still rolling in his stomach.

Zhou Xun used to repair cars, how could he eat on time and on time, relying on sporadic fragments of time to eat, regardless of whether it was cold or not, healthy or unhealthy, after a long time, he suffered from stomach problems, and Lin Zhile used to watch by his side Living, recuperating, and being taken care of all the time.

After Lin Zhile left, his stomach problem reappeared, and it hurt from time to time, but it didn't develop into a serious illness. After a long time, he got used to it.

"It's a bit too much, let's eat a little." Lin Zhile filled two bowls and brought out a bowl for Zhou Xun.

Zhou Xun looked at the vegetarian noodles in clear soup in front of him. The soup was clear, the noodles were distinct, and there was a round poached egg lying on it. He was very appetizing.

But the mouth is still strong, "It's a waste to eat so much if you can't finish it."

The movements of his hands were not vague, he picked up the chopsticks, picked up the noodles, and ate them.

"I haven't cooked for many years, and I can't master the amount." Lin Zhile's voice was a little soft, but Zhou Xun didn't hear it.

A bowl of noodles quickly bottomed out, and there was not even a drop of soup left.

After eating a lot, Zhou Xun still felt empty in his stomach, as if he couldn’t fill it up. He took out the cigarette case from his pocket, walked to the window, opened one, left a small gap, and wrapped the cigarette case with his left hand. , blocking the wind, lit a cigarette with a lighter.

Although Zhou Xun had cigarettes in his pocket all the time, he hadn't smoked for a long time. He suddenly took a big puff. The bitter and pungent taste of nicotine stimulated his mouth and reached his lungs, choking his throat and stomach. spasms.

Zhou Xun coughed and coughed up tears.

"If you can't smoke, don't smoke." Lin Zhile snatched the cigarette from his finger, put it into his mouth, and took two puffs. The cigarette paper burned out quickly and burned directly to the cigarette butt.

"I fucking want you to take care of me?" Zhou Xun took a deep breath, and he stopped coughing for a while, but there was still some moisture in the corners of his eyes, "The jujube cake made by grandma is delicious."
