Restlessness

In the alley next to Xinghe Road in Fuzhong, the barbecue shop that several teenagers often go to has successfully found a new owner not long ago, and it has been renovated into a small tavern. Melodious light music is played occasionally in the shop. Let people have no restraint in midsummer.

There is no longer the middle-aged proprietress who is holding a thick stack of table number menus in her hands all the time. Instead, she is replaced by a young girl with a few strands of blue-gray hair, who uses a clean dishcloth to repeat it over and over again. Wiping the glasses on the bar.

The store door has long been replaced by a well-polished and clean automatic glass door from the old dilapidated wooden door with air leaks. There is also an orange-yellow bear half-figure doll at the door.Under the darkness of night, this alley has lost the smell of smoke and fire that used to rage, and there are no incandescent light bulbs hanging on the wires. It has become darker than ever before, and there is no more noisy shouting in the past. And the smell of cumin seasoning that floats all over the alley.

Xu Yue was lying on the bar counter, with one hand hidden in his pocket, and the other hand was just silently holding an empty goblet.

"Boss, the fruit wine you made is delicious, but I want to drink something alcoholic. I'm already an adult." Xu Yue pursed her lips and suddenly raised her head, and put her phone on the table, "You... Is there a kind of wine that can make people forget those broken emotions, or it’s good to be drunk and wake up without being so sad...I have a bad stomach, and someone wouldn’t let me drink...Boss, if I Drunk, no matter what you say or do, you just treat it as a joke..."

Xu Yue spoke incoherently, and the girl holding the shaker across the table frowned, and finally changed the music in the store to light music with a joyful atmosphere.

"Did you know? In my tavern before, there would never be anyone wearing a school uniform." The girl twitched one corner of her mouth, still wiping the glass in her hand, "But I think you are different... Many people will Come to my tavern and cry, or shout a few times, and those who trust me will share their own stories with me... But you are different, you don't understand wine, and you don't tell stories, so why are you here? Why, what are you running away from?"

Xu Yue froze for a moment, then lowered her head slowly.

Yes, what was he running away from? No matter how much unspeakable pain he felt in his heart, how did the courage to face him frankly disappear gradually?

Xu Yue rubbed his face, and the fruit wine he just drank a few minutes ago was also bubbling like dissatisfaction.

"Escape..." Xu Yue's Adam's apple rolled up and down, his neck was pressed against the table as if it had been filled with lead, and his forehead was pressed against the white frosted glass panel of the bar counter, "Yeah...what the hell am I running away from...I am clearly so Love him, trust him then."

"But I just believe..." The girl paused her hand and continued with a smile, "You believe in her and accompany her, but have you really understood her? Girls never want more than simple believe--"

"No, he's not a girl. He was born beautiful and has a healthy family. Compared with him, everything about me is completely different. I really envy him. I even made many future plans selfishly... ..." Xu Yue suddenly grinned a few times, "Sometimes I wonder, if I hadn't gone under that ginkgo tree on the second day of high school, would our results be slightly different now..."

"Then do you regret it?" The girl suddenly leaned over in the same posture, the tip of her nose was only a few centimeters away from Xu Yue's forehead, and the focus between the lines was never on gender issues, she asked lightly: " Classmate? Do you regret it?"

Do you regret it.

Xu Yue slowly closed his eyes.

"No regrets."

Gu Yuan is what his heart desires, the person who brought him out of hell to see the light, what qualifications does he have to talk to such a person and not regret it afterward.

I deserve it.

"I made a drink once before. The taste is very strong. I can't tell if it's good or not, but I will be completely drunk. At least, during the time you are drunk, you will forget all the sorrows." The girl Standing up, he turned to the wine cabinet behind him, "I've thought about it many times before, but none of the names are worthy of it, but just now, I suddenly thought of a name that is very suitable for it."

"It's hard to come by, drunk and dreamy, the loss outweighs the gains, and being young and frivolous..." The girl whispered while mixing the wine, and 10 minutes later, in Xu Yue's gradually blurred vision, she poured the blue transparent liquid in the mixing glass into the just wiped into the passed glass, "What's his name?"

"Gu Yuan."

"how about you?"

"Xuyue. Xunuoxu, promise." Xu Yue sniffed and looked at the girl with a puzzled face, "So the name of this glass of wine..."

"'you'"

"us?"

"No, the name of this glass of wine is 'You'" The girl chuckled, "This is the most suitable name for it..."

The short needle on the wall has unconsciously turned from the position of "9" to the upper left, and finally pointed to the middle of "10" and "11".Xu Yue stared at the glass in front of her that was stained with a gradient of light blue by the transparent liquid, and finally frowned, opened her mouth and poured it down without hesitation.

It was a little spicy and a little bloody, but it seemed to be covered with ice picks. When he drank it, his throat hurt, and Xu Yue's entire neck turned red instantly.The originally unclear vision gradually became blurred, and even people could see several layers of double images.After a few more minutes, all that was left in his mouth was the cold wetness and a bitterness that would not go away for a long time.

It's really too bitter.

When Gu Yuan appeared at the entrance of the tavern, it happened to be exactly eleven o'clock in the evening.The clock on the wall struck eleven, and was finally replaced by the sound of soft music again.

He rushed over in one stride, stretched out his warm palms to check Xu Yue's body temperature without hesitation, shook Xu Yue's shoulder lightly, and finally looked angrily at the girl at the bar.

"What the hell did he drink, and why is he so hot?" Gu Yuan's throat was dry and astringent, and his voice was hoarse, "His stomach is not good, you—"

"You know you have a bad stomach, why didn't you stop him from coming to my place?" The girl stood upright, looking contemptuously at Gu Yuan's bandaged left hand, "The person he just mentioned should be you, right?" ? Gu Yuan? Judging by your current appearance, it seems that you are not much better than him."

"He just..."

What did he just say...

Gu Yuan hesitated for a long time, but in the end he couldn't ask.

"Take him away, he's just drunk." The girl continued, "If you want him to wake up a bit, go back and drink a glass of honey water... The drunkenness comes and goes quickly."

Gu Yuan took a deep breath and nodded slowly.Holding Xu Yue's waist with his right hand, he hugged his limp body. Because his left hand was wrapped in a bandage, with the help of the girl, he lightly placed it on his back.

"Thank you." Gu Yuan remained expressionless, and the injured half of his face was hidden in the darkness.

"You're welcome, don't forget to pay..." The girl knocked on the table next to her without turning her head, "Forget it, this glass of wine will be treated as my own. Gu Yuan, I don't like the matter between you two. It's nothing to gossip about, but, you're sorry for him."

Gu Yuan stopped in his tracks and froze in place, his left hand trembling slightly.

"Similarly, he is also sorry for you." The girl said slowly, "Let's go, and don't come here again."

Gu Yuan came back to his senses, turned around and scanned the entire tavern, "This place used to be a broken barbecue stall that was not very clean and hygienic. At that time, I thought that I and this person on my back would never exist in the future or even in my whole life. Any involvement, but we still meet here... It doesn't matter if you don't understand, there is only one sentence in short."

"I, Gu Yuan, will definitely be worthy of him in this life."

not meet,

It's a reunion.

Gu Yuan put his left hand on Xu Yue's back, and the pain from the wrist bone seemed to disappear completely at this moment.The boy on the back was very drunk, so drunk that he could no longer open his eyes. When the headlights came on, he could see stars flashing past Xu Yue's eyes like broken diamonds, but he kept whispering Chanting Gu Yuan's name.

People came and went on the road, and the passing cars sped past, bringing up a gust of hot wind.It wasn't until entering the elevator in the community that Gu Yuan carefully pushed Xu Yue's back aside, and finally pinched Xu Yue's shoulder tightly with one hand to prevent him from falling again.

The moment the door opened, Gu Yuan finally couldn't help but kissed Xu Yue's eyes, and lightly licked his teardrop eyelashes with the tip of his tongue, a little salty.He tore off the white bandage on his left hand indiscriminately, and then turned the back of Xu Yue's head backwards, wishing to melt all of him into his body.

Xu Yue was very drunk, until Gu Yuan kissed his lips, one after another, slowly evolved from gentle sucking to raging, Xu Yue, who was extremely hypoxic, pushed Gu Yuan's shoulder reflexively.In the blur, he could only see the tall black figure, he couldn't see the face clearly, but he could smell Gu Yuan's unique smell.

This is all too familiar to him.

Xu Yue tried hard to half-close his eyes, trying to call out Gu Yuan's name seriously, but he had no choice but to experience waves of incomparably dizzy weightlessness from the intense alcohol 10 minutes ago. With a splitting headache, he could only Instinctively opened his chapped lips, gulping for the little oxygen from Gu Yuan's mouth.

The tip of Gu Yuan's tongue naturally poked in from the corner of Xu Yue's lips, and finally turned into a lingering lingering love without distinction between you and me.

"Xu Yue..." Gu Yuan poured some honey into the heated warm water, and his heart began to ache again, "Come on, be obedient, drink a little more."

The corners of Xu Yue's eyes turned red, and his face was lifeless. He shook his head slightly, but he still couldn't say what he wanted to say.

"You can hit me or scold me, just don't ignore me..." Gu Yuan's eyes were red, and he wiped away the tears that remained in the corners of his eyes for a long time for the boy in his arms, "Xu Yue, please. Don't be like this... Come on, you can hit me..."

Gu Yuan gently took Xu Yue's hand, and it fell on his chest sometimes heavily and sometimes lightly, and finally took it into his hand, kissing again and again.

Xu Yue was so weak that he couldn't use his strength, his eyes slowly fell on the honey water on the table.

Gu Yuan immediately picked up the water glass and handed it to Xu Yue's mouth.

"Hey, drink more."

Xu Yue drank a full glass of honey water, and then closed his eyes, as if closing his eyes and resting his mind, but also seemed to be indescribably helpless. Gu Yuan stared straight at Xu Yue's side face, the room was too quiet , The feeling of exhaustion that has not rested for several days is also taking advantage of this moment.

Gu Yuan pinched himself severely.

"Hiss—Xu Yue? You're awake. Are you feeling better?"

The moment Gu Yuan was awake, Xu Yue raised his hand and gently covered his vigorous right hand.

"Stupid or not? Are you the so-called 'hit yourself when you get angry'?" Xu Yue lowered his voice, forced a smile, and quickly withdrew his raised hand, "Gu Yuan... …Can you love me again so that I will always remember everything we had before.”

"Let me always remember you forever."

After finishing speaking, Xu Yue exhausted all the strength in his body, and pulled Gu Yuan into his arms.Lips with the residual warmth of honey water stuck to her.In a daze, Xu Yue's hand reached into Gu Yuan's back and grabbed it hard.

Gu Yuan understands Xu Yue better than anyone else, and understands everything about him.He nodded slightly, and finally tore off the only two pieces of clothing on both of them, and he didn't even have time to carry Xu Yue into the room.

On the carpet in the living room, Gu Yuan gently stroked Xu Yue's side face, and pressed her close...

The sound of the hour hand turning, mixed with a few choked sobs in the throat, the sound of water splashing on the floor, and also mixed with their gasps calling each other's names.

Xu Yue arched his back but worked very hard, his right hand firmly pinched the edge of the carpet, one side was ambiguous and fiery, and the other side was frosty like never before.

Xu Yue bit her lower lip and still kept her eyes closed, all her memories went back to two weeks ago.It was very hot that day, and the shade of the trees on the boulevard could not resist the scorching sun. Xu Yue searched all the supermarkets and canteens in the school, and even the entire commercial street next to the attached middle school, but he couldn't find the cantaloupe-flavored one anymore. Assam milk tea.

This summer, it seems that there is no sweetness that the two teenagers are most familiar with.

Xu Yue couldn't help chuckling, a little regretting that she complained that the milk tea was too sweet.So much so that it was a bit missed when it was finally discontinued.

In the darkness, Gu Yuan buried himself deeply in Xu Yue's neck. The pleasure after sweating profusely disappeared without a trace, and the only thing left was the suppressed "I'm sorry" one after another.

Xu Yue stretched out his hand to smooth Gu Yuan's frowning brows, and said softly, "Gu Yuan, there is no more cantaloupe-flavored Assam milk tea... It's time for us to break up."
