Idle People

However, before Gu Xu came up with a new arrangement, Tang Feng came to the door himself.

After going to the water room to fetch water and coming back, when he opened the door and saw Tang Feng sitting next to Elder Lin's hospital bed talking and laughing with him, Gu Xu once wondered if he hadn't had enough sleep in the past two days, so that he had hallucinations.

"Oh, Xiao Xu is back." Elder Lin said happily when he saw Gu Xu coming back from fetching water in good spirits this day.

Tang Feng, who had his back to the door, also turned his head and smiled at Gu Xu when he heard the words.

It does not appear to be an illusion.

Putting down the warm water bottle with a calm face, Gu Xu pulled up a chair and sat down side by side with Tang Feng, chatting with Mr. Lin.

After all, he was getting old and just recovering from a serious illness. Although he was quite excited, Mr. Lin still fell asleep within an hour.

Gu Xu then lowered his voice and asked Tang Feng, "How did you come here?"

Tang Feng replied with a bitter face: "I originally called your mobile phone to ask if there was someone who would change shifts with you to accompany you in bed, but when I got through, it was a stranger's voice, saying that he was your teacher... and then unconsciously It becomes what you see."

Because there are still memories in my mind of when my mother was seriously ill when I was a child, my father and my sisters took turns to accompany me to take care of the bed. Tang Feng knew that taking care of a patient was not so easy, so he called again after Gu Xu said that he did not need help for the time being. confirm.As a result, the phone rang for a while, but when it was connected, there was an old voice on the other side.

After learning that the other party was Gu Xu's teacher, Tang Feng wanted to say a few greetings before politely hanging up.Unexpectedly, Mr. Lin was very interested in him, throwing out one question after another, making Tang Feng quite overwhelmed.When he came back to his senses, he found that he had promised to visit Mr. Lin in the hospital.

But the trip to the hospital was not without success.

Thinking of what Gu Xu had told him about his student days before Gu Xu came back, Tang Feng laughed subconsciously.

Seeing all the changes in Tang Feng's expression, and knowing the character of his teacher in his heart, Gu Xu wanted to sigh.

If I come back a little later, maybe the remaining black history of my student days will be shaken up by Mr. Lin, right?It's such a tragedy to forget to bring your mobile phone carelessly for a while.With Tang Feng's straightforward personality, he doesn't know what old Lin said... My teacher is not the type who likes to invite strangers casually.

When he came back to his senses, Tang Feng felt from Gu Xu's silence that the other party seemed to be troubled. He thought for a while, and suddenly imitated Gu Xu's usual action of rubbing his own hair, and gently patted the other party's head.

Gu Xu was stunned.

"Don't worry too much. Mr. Lin is only in his 60s, and he is in good spirits. He will be fine after he is discharged from the hospital." Tang Feng stared into Gu Xu's eyes, saying each word seriously.

The words were at once like a consolation and a pious blessing.

Gu Xu's heart trembled, he pulled down the opponent's hand and held it tightly, "Yes." This is probably the first time, right?When I feel distressed, someone is by my side.

***

After that day, Tang Feng went to the hospital whenever he was free.

He also just found out that Mr. Lin was the "very important person" that Gu Xu said he would take him to meet. He was willing to adopt Gu Xu, and the last one to take him in was Mr. Lin who was teaching at the middle school he was studying at that time.

"If it weren't for the teacher to guide me, I might be doing the same shady activities as my parents now."

Gu Xu's words were firmly imprinted in Tang Feng's mind.

Originally, Tang Feng was educated to respect the old and love the young, but now that Mr. Lin is Gu Xu's benefactor, he is naturally more attentive in helping and taking care of him.

The number of visits to the hospital is too many, and the two elderly people in the same ward with Mr. Lin remember Tang Feng. When chatting with Mr. Lin, they can't help but say something like "Your two children are really filial" .

Elder Lin accepted all the orders with a smile, and ordered Tang Feng to do things the same as ordered Gu Xu, never being polite.

Like real grandparents.

Mr. Lin has been single all his life and has no relatives.Although Aunt Chen is very enthusiastic, she is a servant after all, so it is impossible to take care of only Elder Lin.If it wasn't for Tang Feng's help, Gu Xu would not be able to last a few days by himself.

Walking into the ward with the oranges Elder Lin ordered to eat, Gu Xu subconsciously scanned the ward first.

"Xiaofeng just left." Old man Lin, who was reading the newspaper with reading glasses, said without looking up.

Gu Xu withdrew his gaze a little guilty, and put the oranges on the bedside table.

"Teacher, the doctor said that you are recovering well, and you can be discharged from the hospital after two days of observation." After being silent for a while, Gu Xu remembered that he hadn't told Elder Lin the good news yet.

"Well." Elder Lin replied, "Then you can help me tidy up the house some time! The spare key is still in the old place."

Even if Mr. Lin didn't say anything about it, Gu Xu would do it himself, so he agreed very simply.

Then the two had nothing to say.

Mr. Lin felt a little nostalgic for such a scene - after he subdued the rebellious Gu Xu, the two often sat opposite each other without saying a word.He knew that such silence was not because Gu Xu refused to communicate with him, but because he didn't know how to communicate with him.So thousands of words turned into silent gazes.

It's been a long time since I saw this kid tangled up like this...

Looking at Gu Xu's hesitant expression from the corner of his eyes, Elder Lin snickered inwardly, and calmly turned another page of the newspaper.

***

Gu Xu didn't plan to call Tang Feng for such physical work as cleaning the room.But now Tang Feng and Mr. Lin have a very good relationship. Gu Xu is still cosplaying clam shells, and Mr. Lin has already released the rumors.

So when Gu Xu went to Lin's hometown, there was an extra tail behind him.

The house Mr. Lin lived in was a suite assigned to the teaching staff by the school in the early years. The house is a bit old, but the overall structure is still very strong.

Tang Feng followed Gu Xu in the dimly lit corridor, thinking that a nostalgic person like Liu Jianyu would definitely fall in love with this place at a glance.

On the fourth floor, Gu Xu picked up the insecticide placed next to a pot of prickly pears, skillfully unscrewed the lid and took out a spare key to open the door.

Tang Feng followed behind him and looked very tangled.

This place for keys is really...

It's just that no one has lived in it for more than a week, and the furniture in the room is covered with a thin layer of dust.Tang Feng took out the prepared mask from his backpack, put it on, and handed one to Gu Xu.

"Let's get started! I'll be in charge of the bedroom and study room, and you clean the living room and kitchen." Thanks to his long-term experience in fighting against environmental saboteurs like Hao Yang in the dormitory, Tang Feng can be considered a semi-expert when it comes to cleaning.

Gu Xu obeyed the arrangement without objection.

Although he seldom came to Lin's old house after leaving society, but he stood in the living room and took a rough look, the furnishings here were basically the same as what he remembered.

He felt nostalgic for a while before starting to work.

As for Tang Feng, although he won't be as emotional as Gu Xu, when he cleaned the bookshelves, his movements still slowed down unconsciously.

There are several photo frames on the bookshelf, all of which are photos of Mr. Lin and the students he taught.

Tang Feng saw Gu Xu in middle school.

At that time, Gu Xu's hair was cut very short, he was wearing a black T-shirt with a blood-red skull pattern, and earrings on his ears, his eyes were much more fierce than now, staring at the camera as if he would bite The photographer took a sip.

"Bad boy."

Gu Xu, who was buried in cleaning the sink, raised his head upon hearing the sound, and saw Tang Feng standing at the kitchen door with a photo frame and smiling triumphantly at him.

bad!

Suddenly remembering what was in Mr. Lin's study, Gu Xu's head hurts.

He should have checked it before bringing Tang Feng in...

Seeing Gu Xu's annoyed expression, Tang Feng smiled even more happily, "Hahaha, I didn't quite believe what Mr. Lin said that day, but now I see the photo and realize that he is really not exaggerating at all...you actually have When wearing suspenders!"

Anyway, Tang Feng had all the "evidence" in his hands, Gu Xu calmed down after the awkward moment at first.

While Tang Feng was still smiling, Gu Xu slowly took off his gloves and washed his hands, and then slowly walked up to the other party and asked, "You asked for help today, so you came here to find a photo, right?" He finally knew what bait Elder Lin used to hook this stupid fish in front of him.

"Uh..." Sensing that the distance between the two was a little too close, Tang Feng's smile restrained a little, and he admitted honestly, "This is also one of the motives."

"The world of bad boys is very dangerous. You, a good boy, jumped in to seek abuse?" Gu Xu said, already pinching Tang Feng's chin, "Dare to laugh at me, have you thought about the price to pay? ?”

Even though he knew that Gu Xu was joking, Tang Feng was flustered by the other party's hints.

Pushing Gu Xu with his free hand, Tang Feng struggled and said, "You are already a young man now, you must have self-control!"

"I think I'm usually very self-controlled, and now I need to reverse my growth." Gu Xu answered solemnly, quickly grabbed the photo frame from Tang Feng's hand, and kissed it precisely when the other party was about to protest.

Tang Feng's resistance lasted only a few seconds.

Speaking of returning from travel, although the two of them can see each other in the game every day, they haven't touched each other in reality for a while.

The sound of entwining lips and tongues pushed the body temperature to rise rapidly. Although the air conditioner was not turned on in the room, Tang Feng felt his whole body was getting hot.

It wasn't until each other's breathing was a little unstable that Gu Xu let go of Tang Feng, and the thumb of his right hand caressed the other's rosy lips with some nostalgia.

"It looks like it's at the teacher's house, so keep this account in mind and settle it later."

Hearing Gu Xu's voice in a hoarse voice, Tang Feng gasped for breath and couldn't help thinking——how many accounts have been recorded?If I continue to accumulate like this, will I still have a life when I "pay off the debt" in the future...
