Restlessness

This bouquet of fake flowers looks very cheap, and in the eyes of passers-by, it is three words in capital letters.

Not sincere.

Despite this, Xu Yue still hugged the small bunch of roses tightly. Gu Yuan had no expression on his face since he said goodbye to the mother and daughter just now, and his brows were frowned together, making it impossible to guess what was going on in his heart. .Putting his hands into the pockets of his sports pants, the dots of light and shadow on his face were hidden in the night from the tip of his nose.

But the more this happened, Xu Yue felt that they were the most real. He turned his head to look at the people around him, and sniffed.

Gu Yuan is good at everything, but he will not easily reveal his true inner thoughts to anyone, including Xu Yue.He didn't know which heartstrings the incident just touched Gu Yuan, so he could only sigh softly.

"Gu Yuan, I want to ask you something." Xu Yue gently tugged on Gu Yuan's sleeve with his left hand, and asked with the corner of his mouth slightly raised, "Aren't we fake? I still think about the mother and daughter." It's a pity."

Gu Yuan paused for a moment, his gaze was firmly fixed on the blind sidewalk one meter away, he didn't know how long it took before he turned his head and looked at Xu Yue, "How could it be fake, I like you so much, absolutely not I'll just send you a bouquet of fake flowers."

Xu Yue was stunned for a long time before laughing a few times, and said "oh" softly.

What he wanted to ask was never these superficial questions, but Gu Yuan's answer did not give him a reason to continue to ask. Xu Yue changed the flower in his hand to a more comfortable position, and he lowered his head and gently touched it with his chin. Rubbed a few times.

"Xu Yue, look." Gu Yuan suddenly pointed his finger across the road, "There are people selling balloons over there!"

Hearing the sound, Xu Yue raised his eyes and glanced at the direction he was pointing at. Sure enough, there was a middle-aged man standing by the opposite sidewalk. A lot of white threads were wrapped around his fingertips and finally wrapped around his wrist. The balloon was transparent. There is a small cartoon character in the middle, and some crumb-shaped glitter powder is more and more dazzling under a string of small light bulbs.

At first glance, it looks a little romantic.

"I think that's very pretty. It's your birthday today, so I'll give you one?" Gu Yuan's tension finally eased a lot. He smiled at Xu Yue and took his hand without waiting for his response. "Hurry up, it just happens to be a green light. Let's go there first."

Two boys holding hands can indeed attract the attention of passers-by, but Xu Yue doesn't care, he speeds up his pace while looking at Gu Yuan's profile.

Whether he is true or not, what Xu Yue likes is the person in front of him, the person who keeps saying that his heart beats only for him.

After crossing the road, Gu Yuan let go of his hand and stopped the middle-aged man who was about to cross the road. After asking a few words, he paid without thinking, then raised his head and picked up a transparent balloon with a Pikachu floating inside. , the silver-white thread tail was separated from the fingertips by the man, and then directly wrapped around Gu Yuan's wrist.

"Xu Yue, look, do you like it?" Gu Yuan tugged at the thread in his hand, and watched the balloon move a few times in the air, "Eh, doesn't this look a little silly..."

Xu Yuexin said, you are quite self-aware.

Meeting a handsome guy on the street is enough to attract the attention of all girls, not to mention there are still two standing at the intersection.One holds a bouquet of roses in one hand, while the other index finger is wrapped around a romantic transparent balloon.

Soon, a few girls next to them started to secretly take pictures with their mobile phones.

Gu Yuan glanced around, then turned around and asked Xu Yue: "Xu Yue, do you dare to go crazy?"

"Why crazy?" Xu Yue replied suspiciously.

"It's like..." Gu Yuan suddenly approached, and the hot air from his mouth spread behind Xu Yue's ears, "This way!"

When the last two words came out, Gu Yuan took Xu Yue's hand without hesitation and ran along the sidewalk.The girls who were secretly filming along the way behind them also followed a few steps forward, and finally only the backs of the two of them running forward were left on the entire phone screen.The lower hem of the school uniform was blown up and down behind him by the fan.

When the two were running out of breath, Gu Yuan finally stopped. His bangs on his forehead were completely lying on both sides of the headband, and he looked a bit embarrassed.

"Hahaha, how...how?" Gu Yuan pointed at Xu Yue's messy hair, "Are you cool?"

I have to say that although this behavior was a little puzzling, the short-term lack of oxygen in the brain gave Xu Yue a different feeling.

"Gu, Gu Yuan, it's true. You're three years old, and you're a little older." Panting slightly, Xu Yue wiped off the tiny beads of sweat on her neck with the back of her hand, "Is this what you mean by being crazy? "

Gu Yuan shook his index finger, "nonono, this is just the beginning, and there are more exciting things to come, but can you still do it? Just running for a few steps is nothing."

How many steps?

Xu Yue couldn't help but look back. Gu Yuan dragged him through two red lights on the sidewalk, and the distance must have been five or six hundred meters.

How did it take so many steps?

"Whoever is afraid of anyone, just come if there is anything more exciting." Xu Yue cleared his throat. Anyway, he has done all the things that elementary school students would not do, and there is nothing he can't accept next.

"Okay, you said it yourself." Gu Yuan moved closer to the side of the road, kept looking around, and finally stopped a taxi after 5 minutes.

Xu Yue has automatically imagined a lot of haunted houses or street karaoke scenes that are exciting to him, but he never thought that the more exciting thing Gu Yuan said was stopping a car that was about to change shifts. taxi.

"Is this what you said to be exciting?" Xu Yue looked at the taxi leaning on the side of the road with the right turn signal on for a long time, refusing to move, "Where are we going at such a late hour?"

Gu Yuan didn't answer, but just pushed Xu Yue into the back row.

"Master, you are familiar with the road conditions in Shanghai. Find a road with no monitoring and no people to show us around a few times. It's easy to talk about money." Gu Yuan stared at the back of the driver's head.

The driver was obviously the first passenger to encounter such a request, so he turned around in a daze.

"You two are students, right? It's so late that you don't stay at school, you don't go home, and you're still wandering outside."

Listen, the driver obviously put the two of them in the ranks of those "bad students".

But Gu Yuan didn't care. He took off his school uniform and smiled at the driver. The two tiger teeth seemed to be full of eagerness when he smiled, "That's not the case now, hehe. Master, it's actually my boy today, ah , my friend’s 18th birthday. My two sneaked out to celebrate my birthday, so uncle, you can take us around.”

The driver was successfully amused by Gu Yuan's appearance, he turned his head and glanced at Xu Yue, and looked down at the rose in his arms, "Hey, your 18th birthday is really grand, you even have flowers."

Xu Yue scratched his ears in embarrassment, "Someone gave it to me on the way."

"Hi, I thought it was delivered by the young man next to you." The driver uncle turned his head to pick up the phone, as if he had opened the phone's WeChat, replied to someone and then said slowly, "I just told the company Let me tell you, I will deliver the car later. I will not charge you two students, so I will treat it as a birthday celebration for you."

After speaking, the uncle driver started the car and drove towards the end of the road.Just 5 minutes after the car drove out, Gu Yuan couldn't sit still. He opened the car window to the maximum, and then stuffed the balloon that occupied a large area.

The silver wire at the other end of the balloon was still tied to Xu Yue's index finger.

"What are you doing?" Xu Yue glanced outside, the balloon was going forward with the taxi, "Aren't you afraid it will explode?"

"It's not as fragile as you said." Gu Yuan suddenly turned around and patted Xu Yue, "Hurry up, take out your phone and take a picture, hurry up, and then you will know who is with you when you look at the photo It’s my 18th birthday! Remember to make a note on the photo and write my name on it.”

Xu Yue dawdled for a long time before taking out his mobile phone from his trouser pocket, and took a picture of Gu Yuan's profile.The angle is perfect, the left half of the photo is Gu Yuan hidden under the night, looking back from the tip of the nose, you can see the smiling Pikachu balloon, and the right side is the open car window And the blurred neon streetlight buildings on the side of the road.

"It's finished." Xu Yue pressed the shutter a few more times, and finally stuffed the phone back into his pocket with satisfaction. While moving his eyes, he met the eyes of the uncle driver who was looking at them from the rearview mirror.

The corners of the eyes are bent, as if smiling.

"Your age is the best time in your life. I think back then when we celebrated our birthday, there wasn't even a cake on the table." The driver couldn't help sighing, "I really envy you kids, you are so carefree Don't think about anything."

Xu Yue nodded lightly, noncommittal.

Yes, there may be many ups and downs in a person's life, but youth is only once.He glanced at Gu Yuan, and suddenly laughed lightly.

The big boy sitting next to him at the moment is his entire youth.If Gu Yuan hadn't appeared, he would still be sleeping in a swamp surrounded by thorns and would not wake up.

Xu Yue suddenly felt lucky that a person like him could still meet such a good Gu Yuan.

"fine……"

Gu Yuan turned around and looked at Xu Yue consciously when he heard the murmur, "Huh? What's okay?"

Xu Yue stared into his eyes and shook his head, "Gu Yuan, do you know what is the most exciting thing? Look at me."

Xu Yue also opened the car window on his side to the maximum, put the rose in his arms on the back seat, moved his body to the right, and wound the thread wrapped around his index finger in the opposite direction several times. Re-attached to the base of the rose, and poked the whole head out of the window.

Covering his mouth with his hands, he took a deep breath.

"Ah———I——is—promised promise—promised promise—promised promise—"

Different from the heart-piercing cry, this one seemed to vent out all the complaints and unwillingness that had been pent up in my heart for a long time.

After Xu Yue finished shouting, it seemed that she still felt unsatisfied, so she took another breath and continued to shout: "I am Xu Yue——I will have a good life—"

Gu Yuan and the driver were stunned for a moment, and soon they both laughed.

"The child now..." The driver slowed down a little, and a soothing and melodious light music began to play on the car stereo, which contained the sound of waves crashing on the beach and the cries of seagulls...

"It's nice to be young."

Half of Gu Yuan's body also leaned out from the window on the other side, imitating the way he put his hand to his mouth, "I—is—Gu Yuan, Xu Yue's Gu Yuan—"

"Happy Xu Yue's 18th birthday—next year—the year after—the year after—every year in the future, Gu Yuan will accompany Xu Yue on his birthday——"

……

Young madness and throbbing, overcoming obstacles and fearlessness.

It was already 1 o'clock in the morning when he returned to the community, and Xu Yue finally left the bouquet of roses and balloons in the taxi.The two of them turned on the overhead light as soon as they entered the door, and both of them were so tired that they threw themselves on the sofa. Gu Yuan closed his eyes and kept smiling, saying that today was the happiest day he had ever had.

A few seconds later, he suddenly opened his eyes again, and seriously straightened Xu Yue's face.

"No, it should be that every day I spend with you is the happiest day I, Gu Yuan, spend."

Gu Yuan's palms were warm, and the eyes that looked at Xu Yue were also hot. He kissed him suddenly, without biting or possessing, but more of a slight breath of probing, until the tip of his tongue touched Xu Yue's lips, He narrowed his eyes and slipped in without paying attention.

……

Xu Yue came here once before, plus he had a video call with Gu Yuan before the test. He always thought that the ceiling lamp in Gu Yuan's living room was mostly an ornament, and the whole room survived only by the yellow floor lamp next to it.

But it wasn't. Xu Yue was lying on the blanket beside the sofa panting slightly, his chest heaving non-stop, the bright incandescent light on the ceiling rushing into his eyes, and a phantom gradually appeared.

Happy is really happy, tired is really tired.Xu Yue couldn't help but turn her body around Gu Yuan's waist, "Don't move, let me hug you for a while....I'm too tired. There are still 200 meters and long jump tomorrow, let's stop."

Gu Yuan rubbed Xu Yue's forehead, his eyes were full of distress and bewilderment.He didn't know whether today's decision was correct, but as long as Xu Yue was happy, he would be happy too.

Like a child, even emotions can be infected.

"Well, I won't move. Go to the master bedroom and sleep first. Tomorrow is Saturday, so the alarm clock must not be set. I'll call you tomorrow morning."

"...Not together?" Xu Yue was stunned for a moment, and he did the most intimate thing, so what else should be avoided.

"You go first, I'll come just after calling my mother."

"OK then."

When Xu Yue entered the bedroom, Gu Yuan turned off the ceiling light in the living room and turned on the floor lamp on one side again, and opened WeChat in the dark.

After hesitating for a long time, he still couldn't make the call.

The author has something to say: In fact, Yuan Yuanzi's family is also relatively deformed, which will be mentioned later in the article.
