Restlessness

In the first few days, Xu Yue always made a simple breakfast before Gu Yuan got up, sometimes he cooked two servings of pork bone-flavored instant noodles according to Gu Yuan’s request, and sometimes he just cooked some light porridge with two servings. Fried eggs with burnt edges... Although they are not delicious, Gu Yuan always gave Xu Yue a thumbs up with a satisfied face, laughing at him for feeling like a "little domestic daughter-in-law".

Until more than ten days later, Gu Yuan rubbed his eyes and looked straight at the porridge and a few simple side dishes on the table, swallowed his saliva and stared blankly at Xu, who was standing beside him with a spoon and looked extremely proud. about.

"How about... we go out to eat today? Come back to eat these nights?" Gu Yuan was stunned for a moment, scratching his messy hair, "Well... don't think too much, I'm not tired of eating! I just Thinking about going out for a while... going out to get a haircut? Yes, and then have a meal by the way?"

Reasons for making up things Gu Yuan has always spoken very smoothly, even after finishing the whole sentence, he raised his chin and moved closer to Xu Yue, fiddled with the few strands of bangs that slightly blocked the eyes between his index fingers, and kept saying "hmm " several times to find Xu Yue's answer.

To Xu Yue, she seemed to be acting like a spoiled child with eyes full of love.

"That's fine, I just plan to go to the supermarket today. The snacks and milk tea in the refrigerator are completely gone." Xu Yue sighed helplessly, reached out to open the door of the refrigerator, turned around and pinched Gu Yuan's neck .

Gu Yuan shrank back abruptly, clasped his arms around his chest, and his eyes were full of horror.

"What! Scared me to death. I thought you were going to put me in the refrigerator..." Gu Yuan was stunned for a few seconds, then picked up the cup on the table and swallowed it, then wiped it with the back of his hand At the corner of his mouth, "Xu Yue, I'm not used to you being so gentle now, think about it before... You scolded me those words, tsk, I kind of miss that time."

Xu Yue suddenly remembered the two people who hadn't dealt with before, he closed the cabinet door and coughed softly a few times.

"Okay, let's go out then. Stupid?"

There was a hint of impatience in his tone, exactly the same as Xu Yue half a year ago, as indifferent as if copied and pasted from a printer.

Gu Yuan pursed his lips and shrugged his shoulders, and finally waved his hands to make Xu Yue feel normal.

There was still plenty of sunlight at noon, and the strong light shone on the glass building on another long street, and finally reflected on their tall building. When Xu Yuelian opened the living room window, his eyes were half-closed.

Gu Yuan changed into a light-colored short-sleeved shirt, probably because he was too lazy to take care of his hair after staying at home for too long. This time, he spent a long time in the bathroom before going out. Finally, he quickened his pace, and the wind behind him brought the familiar And the clear but not greasy men's perfume smells out the door.

Gu Yuan turned on his mobile phone and found a restaurant with a good rating nearby. He didn't even bother to look at the price of the dishes carefully. Looking at the decoration style of the restaurant in the phone, he directly opened the navigation provided by the restaurant and carried Xu Yue to the last 3 restaurants. Seconds of green light.

Gu Yuan wolfed down this lunch, completely ignoring the weird looks from the girls at the next table, and finally stuffed the dessert on the table into his mouth and slowly raised his head.

"Gu Yuan, you look like I have treated you badly these days." Xu Yue couldn't help but frowned, put down his chopsticks and lowered his eyes and said in a low voice, "If you don't like those, you can tell me directly No...you don't need to find other reasons to go out for a meal like today—"

"That's no good, who said I don't like to eat! I like to eat everything you cook." Gu Yuan wiped his mouth indiscriminately, and couldn't help scratching his neck with his right hand. Life, I still want to eat white porridge when I get home at night!"

Gu Yuan actually doesn't like to eat plain porridge that has no taste at all, or even a plate of scrambled eggs with tomatoes that looks unappetizing, but many times he lies on the door frame of the kitchen, looking at the person inside who flicks his phone from time to time. He suddenly couldn't bear to speak when the promise on the screen was made.

Xu Yue hadn't stepped into an important kitchen a few times since he was a child. When he was very young, he often looked at his mother who was busy in the kitchen with a sweaty face, and couldn't help but want to share some things within his ability.

But because I put a small aluminum pot in the microwave oven, my hands were scalded. I hugged my mother and cried for a whole day, until finally I couldn't squeeze my tears. I huddled in my mother's arms and listened to all the pain and comfort. ...From then on, her mother never let Xu Yue step into the kitchen, and until she left this world, she didn't have the chance to taste Xu Yue's porridge.

Xu Yue had never told anyone about these things, but his eyes melted into the bowl of porridge on the table as if filled with thoughts. Gu Yuan could see through Xu Yue just by glancing at him. Many, many unspeakable secrets.

"Have you finished eating?" Xu Yue ate the last bite of food on the plate, licked his lips, and finally picked up the tissue at hand to wipe off the food residue left in the corner of his mouth, "After eating, let's... Gu Yuan, Come over with your head."

"What are you doing?" Gu Yuan was stunned for a moment, his ears turned red in an instant, "There are so many people here, you don't mean to kiss me, do you? Let's go home about this matter—well!"

Gu Yuan was suddenly pulled in front of Xu Yue's face, and watched him with a surprised expression as he pulled out a new tissue to wipe off the white cream on the corner of his mouth.

"Don't forget to wipe your mouth after eating dessert." Xu Yue suddenly felt a sense of love and care from an "old father" for a "son", so Xu Yue pushed Gu Yuan back to his original position, and couldn't help laughing up.

The redness at the base of the ear spread to the neck, Gu Yuan couldn't help but picked up the bottle of iced Assam on the table and pressed it against his chin.

After leaving the restaurant, Gu Yuan took Xu Yue to the styling room he often visited. The shop looked very tidy and the mirror was wiped clean, except for a little brother who was slumped on a stool and smoking a cigarette. , others can fall into Gu Yuan's eyes.

Sure enough, Gu Yuan suddenly glanced to the right.

"How about changing to a different one?" Gu Yuan stopped, turned around and was about to push open the glass door again.

"Hey Gu Yuan, come to get your hair done?" A girl with dyed silver-gray hair stood up and waved to them. After seeing Xu Yue, her face was full of surprise, "Bringing friends today? You sit down first." , I'll call Brother Huo."

Xu Yue frowned and glanced around. The little brother who was smoking had already stubbed out the cigarette, but the strong smell of cigarettes had not yet dissipated in the shop.

Gu Yuan kept looking at Xu Yue, as if waiting for his answer.

As long as you say you don't like this place, we'll leave right away.

Gu Yuan really thought so in his heart.

The little brother who finished smoking seemed to feel Xu Yue's dissatisfaction, and waved his hands in the air a few times apologetically.

"Sorry, sorry, I just wanted to smoke one when there were no guests... Come on, let me open the door for you." The little brother walked towards the door and pushed open the glass door behind the two of them.

The heat rushed in all of a sudden.

"It's okay, I'll just sit here by the door." Xu Yue was a little embarrassed. It seemed a little unreasonable if they turned around and left now. Fortunately, the smell of smoke dissipated quickly, so he pushed Gu Yuan forward. "Here it is. It's so hot outside, I don't want to sweat anymore."

"That's good. You sit here and wait for me." Gu Yuan smiled, and quickly sat in front of one of the mirrors.

Brother Huo's name sounds like a gangster leader, but he is not, and he is even a girl with a bold personality in neutral clothes.Gu Yuan was a little absent-minded, and his eyes would drift to Xu Yue at the door from time to time.

After the fourth time, Brother Huo finally couldn't help laughing.She waved the scissors and asked, "Is that your new friend at the door?"

"Yeah." Even if someone was talking to him, Gu Yuan's eyes still fixed on Xu Yue who was sitting at the door and playing with his mobile phone with his head down through the mirror in front of him, "It's not considered a friend."

"It's not a friend, it's a classmate." Brother Huo stopped, looked at Gu Yuan with satisfaction, and finally nodded. "Gu Yuan, the thing you said to consider before..."

Gu Yuan suddenly withdrew his gaze, looked at the girl standing behind him, and coughed lightly.

"Ah? Ah. That matter... I've thought about it now, so... I already have someone I like. So..." Gu Yuan said shallowly, with apologetic refusal in his tone.

Of course, this apology is a habit only after staying with Xu Yue for a long time.

"I didn't tell you clearly before, I'm sorry." Gu Yuan fiddled with his mobile phone with his fingertips, and stood up after cleaning the hair on his face and neck. "And I really, really like him."

Although Brother Huo had a disappointed look on his face, he still smiled at Gu Yuan out of politeness.

"Actually, you don't need to apologize."

After Xu Yue entered the door, she sat down on the soft stool near the door with a calm face. From time to time, she would lift her collar to cover her mouth, and she never had any communication with anyone in the store.

Still, without saying a word, not even a single word, he had won the world.

Others are only envious.

After paying the money, Gu Yuan got up and strode to Xu Yue's side, pulled out the phone he was holding horizontally in his hand, and stuffed it directly into his trouser pocket.

"Don't look at your phone, just look at me." Gu Yuan blinked, "How is it? Huh... the boss is a good crafter, isn't he?"

Xu Yue raised her eyes, and found that the boy's hair was shorter than before, and the few strands of hair beside the temples also completely disappeared.Due to the hot weather in summer, Gu Yuan had already removed his usual hair band a few weeks ago, so that he gradually had a thin layer of bangs.

The eyebrows seemed to be more serious, and for the first time Xu Yue felt that Gu Yuan's eyebrows were also beautiful.

"It's pretty good." Xu Yue stood up and took a closer look, "I don't see the difference? Except it's a little shorter than before..."

"But I like it like this." Gu Yuan felt very satisfied, touched his perfect jawline and moved it closer. "Let's go to the supermarket."

"Give me the phone first, I wrote in the memo what I want to buy for a while."

"If you don't give it, I won't give it. I'll give it to you after I catch up." Gu Yuan pushed open the door, completely ignoring the temperature outside, and jumped a few times.

Xu Yue nodded to Brother Huo behind him and said goodbye.

The supermarket is not far away, just walk through two sidewalks.Gu Yuan pushed the supermarket's own trolley, and glanced around from time to time.

In the end, I couldn't help throwing several bottles of cantaloupe-flavored Assam into it.

Xu Yue bought all the things he needed according to the memo, and finally everyone returned to the community with oversized plastic bags in their hands.

The two talked and laughed all the way until they got out of the elevator and saw Gao Li standing at the door of their house.

Gu Yuan's face turned cold instantly, he pressed the fingerprint lock and opened the door, Gao Li stepped in first.

"Your mother?" Looking at the looks of these two people, Xu Yue could also guess the relationship between this powerful person in front of him and Gu Yuan. "How about...how about I go find an Internet cafe nearby and stay for a while?"

"..." Gu Yuan hesitated, and finally took the bag in Xu Yue's hand, "Have you brought your ID card? Don't go to the black Internet cafe in the alley, you are already an adult."

"Yes, I brought it." Xu Yue couldn't hear what Gu Yuan said, he just lowered his head and agreed softly, and raised his head after a few seconds.

Who would carry their ID card with them when they have nothing to do...

But Xu Yue didn't have the courage to speak out, so he patted Gu Yuan on the shoulder.

"Talk to your mother, even though I don't know what happened between you two?" It's not like he's never seen Gu Yuan in a daze, such fatigue really makes people feel distressed.

But in the end, the person who tied the bell has to be untied. That person is not him, but the person in the room.

"Okay, I'll be ready soon." Gu Yuan pressed the screen of his phone, "It's 45:03, I will definitely go to you before 30:[-]. Wait for me."

"Okay." Xu Yue smiled, raised his slightly heavy arms, and pressed the down button.

After the floor indicator on the wall stopped at "1", Gu Yuan entered the door carrying two big bags.

Gao Li raised his eyes and tilted his head, and put back the dusty photo album on the wine cabinet.

"Ah Yuan, why didn't you notify your family when you stayed? Did you move there by yourself with so many things? Why didn't you tell your mother, I can find someone to help you." Gao Li still had a gentle face, without any reason at all To make a promise to have any mood swings.

"It's more convenient to live in school. And I'm in my third year of high school." Gu Yuan sat next to Gao Li, motionless, his eyes were icy cold, and he felt something was wrong in his words, Gu Yuan added, "In half a year Yue, I'm in my third year of high school."

"Is the boy who was with you just now a new classmate you met?"

"Boyfriend." Gu Yuan could fool everyone around him, but he couldn't fool the woman in front of him.

"...You're having a good time, aren't you? The family doesn't let you find a girlfriend, but you just find a boyfriend instead?" Gao Li's face finally turned ugly. For a moment, she hoped that her son could deceive herself, He coaxed himself to be happy like that, but Gu Yuan didn't.Every word and sentence is full of affirmation, without the slightest hesitation.

There is a certain chilling firmness mixed with the truth.

"I'm not playing, I've always been serious about him." Gu Yuan finally shifted his gaze to Gao Li.

"So, the last time you suddenly went home and had an argument with your parents, saying that you were determined not to study abroad... because of that boy?" Gao Li's face turned cold instantly. expression.

"Isn't it! Gu Yuan! Answer me!" Gao Li's voice was very sharp, as if torn off the thick layer of falsehood.

Gu Yuan couldn't help lowering his head.

Everything that wanted to be hidden became completely unrecognizable at this moment, and in the end it was all included in Gu Yuan's last sentence

"Yes."
