Restlessness

So that night, Gu Yuan completely suffered from insomnia.The temperature in the early morning was not as hot as it was in the daytime. Moisture came in through the gaps in the windows, and the whole living room felt cool for a while.Even the blanket under the coffee table felt like it was covered with thin ice.

Gu Yuan looked up at the master bedroom from time to time.

The last time I brought Li Ranran and the others to the house, Xu Yue was running a fever and couldn't forget to lock the bedroom door, but today it was half open for the first time.Gu Yuan caught a glimpse of the dark gauze curtain being gently blown by the wind a few times.

Probably because he was afraid of disturbing the people on the bed with the slight rubbing sound of wearing slippers, Gu Yuan went into the bedroom barefooted, turned his head to look at Xu Yue who was sinking into a dream with a slight frown on the bed, and his heart was extremely complicated.He walked slowly to the window and closed the window that had been opened not long ago, then sighed softly and left the room, closing the door behind him.

……

When the short hand of the clock on the wall pointed to the position of "7", Gu Yuan rubbed the space between his brows, then extinguished the half-burned cigarette caught between his fingers, probably because his calf accidentally brought it to the coffee table when he got up, and a sound The sharp and piercing portamento broke the silence of the night.

Xu Yue was awakened by this sound.

He turned over and sat up slowly, touched the bed next to him, it was cold, not even a wrinkle.

It doesn't look like someone has been lying there.

"Gu Yuan? Gu Yuan?" Xu Yue's voice was hoarse, and his throat was sore and itchy. He knew this feeling best, and it was an obvious sign of a cold.

He pressed his temple and turned his head to look at the window.

is it off?

But last night it was obviously opened by him himself... I wanted to open it for a while to ventilate, after all, Gu Yuan has been living in the school recently, and the bedroom has a mild musty smell after it has been idle for a period of time.

Unexpectedly, he fell asleep before finishing listening to a song.

"I'm in the living room, did I wake you up?" Gu Yuan's gentle voice came in from the living room, and it was still so clear through the door, "Then get up straight away, the master bedroom has a bathroom, you wash in it first, don't you?" The used cups and toothbrushes are in the sink drawer."

Xu Yue cleared his throat, his throat felt like it was on fire.He put on his slippers and got out of bed, and took a look in front of the full-length mirror.His entire eyes were covered with bloodshot eyes, his ears were also flushed, but his entire face was pale.

Xu Yue didn't want Gu Yuan to see this morbid appearance, so he could only give a heavy "hmm".

Gu Yuan suddenly stood up and walked to the window of the living room, opened all the glass windows, and the smoky living room gradually became clear.

He threw the cigarette butts from the disposable paper cup on the coffee table into the garbage bag, and tied the opening.Gu Yuan raised his arms again and smelled his cigarette-stained T-shirt, frowned, took it off and threw it into the washing machine.As if it was not enough, he picked up his usual perfume and sprayed it around a few times.

Soon, the strong tobacco smell was suppressed.

After Xu Yue finished washing, she got dressed and opened the door of the master bedroom.At a glance, he saw Gu Yuan with his upper body bare, holding an expensive-looking glass bottle in his hand.

"What are you doing? What are you spraying on in the morning?" Xu Yue said in a low voice, and glanced behind Gu Yuan: "Did you sleep on the sofa yesterday?"

"Ah? Hmm... I fell asleep while talking on the phone with my mother yesterday." Gu Yuan bent down and put the perfume bottle back, "What's wrong with your throat? It's so nasal."

"Maybe it's a cold. It should be because I was blown too much in the car yesterday." Xu Yue was stunned for a moment, "It's okay, just go back to school and ask the infirmary to buy some cold spirits or something. It's past 7 o'clock, we should pack up and go to school Yes. Isn’t there still the 200-meter final and the long jump on the last day today?”

Gu Yuan nodded, went into the bathroom, waited until he had washed and changed his clothes before smiling at Xu Yue.

"Okay, let's go."

It took about 20 minutes to walk to the attached middle school. When they were buying steamed buns at the breakfast shop near the community, Zhou Hui's WeChat messages kept flickering on Gu Yuan's phone.

Gu Yuan held his coat in one hand and the hot bun in the other. He tilted his body and said inarticulately: "The phone is in my trouser pocket, please help me to get it. Look who sent the message? Either Li Ranran Or Zhou Hui."

"En." Xu Yue agreed, poked two fingers in, and took Gu Yuan's cell phone between his fingers and pulled it out.

Huihui sleeves: Brother Yuan, where are you guys? The 200-meter final has started to be checked, and Class A is looking for you like crazy.Li Ye's entire face almost fell to the ground.

Huihui sleeve: There is still Xu Yue, the phone is turned off.Because the venues for the long jump and high jump overlap, the long jump was also placed this morning.

Huihui sleeve: Damn, where did you two go? !

Xu Yue frowned, held up his phone and said, "How?"

Gu Yuan looked at Xu Yue next to him, stuffed the last half of the bun into his mouth, chewed a few mouthfuls and swallowed it, and then replied: "Just tell him that we are almost at the school gate. There is another 5.6 I will arrive at the playground in minutes. The inspection side is just to sign, if it is too late, let him go and write my name first."

Xu Yue nodded, and typed everything Gu Yuan said into the chat box verbatim.In the end, I added a sentence "Xu Yue is also with me, and he will be there soon."

Zhou Hui didn't reply to the message again, he probably went to help Young Master Gu sign the autograph.

The two quickened their pace and successfully appeared at the gate of the playground 5 minutes later.Gu Yuan looked around for a week, and finally stopped on the right runway.

Under normal circumstances, the place with the most people, Wangwang is the venue for the upcoming competition.

"When was your long jump in the morning?"

Before Xu Yue could open his mouth, he heard a notice from the broadcast in the playground that the students participating in the long jump of the men's group of the second year of senior high school had gathered at the inspection office.He shrugged and said, "It's a pity that I can't witness you winning the sprint. Hurry up, safety first."

"Winning the championship may not be very good. Is it okay to try to get you the top three? We are not as professional as those sports students, so let's do our best." Gu Yuan smiled, jumped on the spot a few times and stretched out his hand to pat Xu Yue, "By the way, your long jump can easily twist your ankle. Don't you always cherish your life the most, so be careful. Huh? How do you say that... Yes, the most important thing is to participate, and your life is the most important thing."

After finishing speaking, Gu Yuan ran to the place with the most students on the right, even the wind blowing behind him was cool.

I wanted to report on the long jump after taking cold medicine, but due to time constraints, Xu Yue directly stuffed a few cold medicines wrapped in a white plastic bag into his trouser pocket, and then walked to the inspection office without looking back.

All the competitions between Li Ranran and Zhou Hui had come to an end as early as yesterday afternoon, so today they directly chose to split into two teams.

One person went to stare at Gu Yuan, while the other stayed in line with Xu Yue at the inspection desk.

"I said, where did you go after dinner yesterday? After drinking so much wine and not going back to the dormitory to sleep, you still have the energy to go out?" Li Ranran teased Xu Yue, with a strange expression on his face, "Honestly, Brother Yuan Where did I secretly take you to play?"

"Where are you going?" Xu Yue pulled his hand out of his trouser pocket, and rubbed the space between his brows, "Last night I drank too much and slept in someone's restaurant until closing time, do you believe it?"

"???" Li Ranran clicked his tongue, "Xin, this is indeed something you can do. What about Brother Yuan? I remember he didn't drink much yesterday."

"Gu Yuan? He..." Xu Yue blinked, "Would you still believe me if I said he kept playing with his mobile phone next to me until it was closing time?"

Li Ranran gave a thumbs up: "...As expected of my good brothers, you really have you."

In the end, Gu Yuan did not win the top three in the 200-meter final. According to Zhou Hui, all his thoughts were not on the track and the starting gun.I don't know what I'm looking at at the other end of the playground. When I started running, I fell a full two or three meters behind others.

Although Xu Yue is not interested in these sports competitions, he has a height advantage after all. With the help of a sprint, his arms swung back and forth with his body, and then he jumped forward suddenly.

Ranked firmly in second place.

The little girls onlookers started screaming like shock waves again...

After all four people's projects came to an end, they sneaked out of the playground and went straight to Fanxing.

"Brother Yuan, do you think you are embarrassed about today's competition?" Zhou Hui looked unhappy, "During the preliminary round yesterday, you rushed towards the finish line like a wolf chasing you. Don’t you even look at it? If this is in a TV series, it must be a scumbag! And what were you watching at the time... Could it be that the girl you confessed to before is over there? Oh right, speaking of this, then What happened to the girl... I didn't see you mentioning it. Was, rejected? It shouldn't be possible... Isn't it always him who rejects others..."

Xu Yue looked down and took out the cold medicine from his trouser pocket, and swallowed it together with the half glass of orange juice in front of him.

"??? Fuck? Xu Yue, it's not like our family can't afford mineral water anymore." Li Ranran looked dumbfounded, he opened his mouth and his whole face started to twitch, "It's the first time I see someone eating Anti-inflammatory drugs with drinks."

"I just ate it." Xu Yue glanced at Gu Yuan. When he went out in the morning, the weather was still cloudy, and the whole city of Shanghai was foggy. It wasn't until the sun came out that Xu Yue noticed the dark blue circle under Gu Yuan's eyes. "Did you not sleep well last night? Why are the dark circles under your eyes so heavy..."

It's not just that he didn't sleep well, he didn't close his eyes at all, okay?

Not to mention smoking all night, I can't see people's faces clearly today.

Gu Yuan finally realized that it wasn't his eyes that had a problem, but rather that his blood supply to the brain was somewhat insufficient after staying up all night.

He shook his head, got up and stood up, "No, I'll go back to the dormitory and lie down for a while. Xu Yue, remember to get your certificate when you go back later. If you don't know where it is, let him go with you. Oh By the way, Li Ranran, remember to ask for a leave of absence for me."

Before the three of them could respond, Gu Yuan pinched his brows and walked quickly across the boulevard towards the dormitory building.

"Hey, let me tell you, what the hell did you go to yesterday? One sounds like a national treasure, and the other sounds like a cassette." Zhou Hui took a bite of the snacks on the table and couldn't help shaking his head. Li Ranran was so dizzy that he didn't even know how to get back to the dormitory, but you still have the energy to go out and play other things."

"The main thing is to go out and play without taking us." Li Ranran took a bite of the potato chips, and probably made a crunching sound to express his dissatisfaction. "Are we good brothers or not, you..."

"Have you finished eating? You guys, go back to class when you're done eating. I'm just going to ask Li Ye for a vacation. By the way, I also asked for Gu Yuan." Xu Yue impatiently continued to listen to the two people's speculations and nonsense. He cared more about Gu Yuan's physical condition than these.

Li Ranran wanted to complain a few words but was stared back by Zhou Hui.

Li Ye didn't look very kind, but because Xu Yue won the second class for Class A, she naturally couldn't continue to embarrass him. In addition, Xu Yue's nasal voice was thick, and his voice was buzzing. Some distressed.

"Okay, I don't know if you're late this time, don't you know?" Li Ye said, "Did you buy cold medicine?"

"Bought it."

"have you eaten?"

"have eaten."

"That's fine. I don't have anything to do with you in the afternoon. You can have a good rest in the dormitory. And you can tell Gu Yuan to come by himself next time he asks for leave." Li Ye sighed helplessly, "Okay, let's go back. "

"goodbye teacher."

Xu Yue nodded to Li Ye, turned around and dragged Zhou Hui to the back row of the phalanx. After explaining a few words, he went out of the playground gate directly from the path next to the wall.

When he returned to the dormitory, the moment Xu Yue opened the door, he felt that the time in the whole world had been messed up. He took a closer look inside, and the curtains were pulled tightly by Gu Yuan, as if he was afraid that a little light would come in. , the gaps on both sides are fixed on the railings of the beds on both sides with small clips.

The whole dormitory was filled with darkness, Xu Yue got closer and saw Gu Yuan lying on his bed, breathing evenly and slowly rising and falling in the darkness.

Xu Yue got closer, and under the familiar scent of perfume, there was a smell of burnt tobacco.Although it was faint, he could smell it immediately.

this person...

Wasn't he so happy yesterday? What happened after returning home, so that the smell of tobacco was left on his body.

"Don't go...no...I don't want...not to go" Gu Yuan frowned, leaned his head to the right from time to time, and murmured these few words over and over again.

Xu Yue sat on the edge of the bed, pulled up the blanket under Gu Yuan's chin, then touched his side face and said slowly.

"Okay, don't go, I'm right here."

Don't go anywhere, just stay by your side.

OK……

It wasn't until Gu Yuan finally stabilized his mood that Xu Yue took out his mobile phone and looked through some materials about psychology.

I do not know how long it has been……

With a snap, the whole dormitory brightened instantly.

Xu Yue stretched out his hand almost reflexively to block the glaring white light for Gu Yuan.

"Fuck me? Why are you pulling the curtains in broad daylight?" Li Ranran was still pressing the switch on the wall with his left hand. After seeing the two people beside the bed clearly, he asked in a low voice, "Brother Yuan fell asleep?"

"Turn off the lights." Xu Yue said.

"Ah? Oh..." Li Ranran was a little uncomfortable being stared at by Xu Yue, and decisively pressed the switch again, and followed Zhou Hui to the bed in the dark. "No way, Brother Yuan, sleep well and the curtains are so tightly drawn... The sun is so bright outside, our dormitory is like a horror movie..."

"Shut up, be quiet, don't disturb him."
