Over the line connivance

*Xiaohui's fragment

1.

Lu Xiaohui didn't expect to see Gong Yi again.

Although 801 at night is a paradise for prodigal sons, after Zong Chengye and Luo Bi left, Lu Xiaohui had no interest in going on alone, putting the money under the beer bottle, bypassing the people who were kissing fiercely in the narrow aisle, and going to the bathroom.

The bathroom was smoky.

Lu Xiaohui pressed the skirt of his clothes, splashed some water on his face, raised his head and glanced casually at the reflective mirror, suddenly turned pale with fright, and took a step back suddenly, the water splashed from his arms to the washbasin. On the washstand. "I rely on-"

Gong Yi let out a muffled laugh, staring at Lu Xiaohui in the mirror, "Are you scared?"

"Scared to death!" Lu Xiaohui was both surprised and delighted, he wiped his face carelessly with a paper towel from the hanging tube on the wall, and quickly walked up to Gong Yi, "Why... when did you come back?"

The red dot of the burning cigarette flashed past his fingertips, Gong extinguished the cigarette, threw it into the trash can with his backhand, and walked towards Lu Xiaohui, "A few days ago."

Lu Xiaohui looked up at him.

I don't know if it's an illusion, I haven't seen each other for more than half a year, Kyouichi seems to be taller.When he lowered his head, the bridge of his nose was steep, and his eye sockets were deep. Most of his former youthful spirit was worn away, and a little blue stubble appeared on his chin, giving him a sense of maturity unique to adults.

Only his eyes were still focused on Lu Xiaohui.

Lu Xiaohui felt a little uncomfortable being watched, so he had to turn his head slightly to hide, "You are also in 801 tonight? What a coincidence."

Gong Yi couldn't help but look away, "Yes."

"When did you come back?" Lu Xiaohui asked in a daze.

"Some time ago."

"Oh." Lu Xiaohui hummed, realizing that he had already asked.

He was silent for a moment, his eyes dodged, and suddenly he asked timidly, "Why did you leave then?"

It happened that someone staggered into the bathroom from the dazzlingly lit corridor, and there was the sound of dripping water. Gong Yi stretched out his hand and took Lu Xiaohui to him, lowered his head and raised his eyebrows, "Are you sure you want to say it here?"

"Ah, ah." Lu Xiaohui nodded obediently, and said with some enthusiasm, "Then let's go, let's go, you and I will talk on the road."

2.

The relationship between Lu Xiaohui and Gong Yi in high school was not good, even a bit bad.

Ever since Lu Xiaohui was robbed on the way home from school, Gong Yi jumped out out of nowhere and beat up the people in the technical academy, put Lu Xiaohui's money in his pocket and scolded him for being useless, the two of them had a settlement. down.

What made Lu Xiaohui even more angry was that Gong Yi's attack did not completely drive away the people from the technical academy, and within a few days, they caught up with Lu Xiaohui even more vigorously.

Lu Xiaohui was on duty that day, he didn't leave early as usual, and he didn't obediently stay until the end of the duty, but picked a time to slip away.

There were few people in the small alley that he usually passed by, Lu Xiaohui sneaked his head around and saw a few people squatting against the wall, his vision darkened, and he immediately retreated into the school bathroom with his tail between his legs.

He hid in, only to find something even worse.

Coincidentally, Gong Yi, who was blacklisted by him secretly, was smoking with an unlit cigarette in his mouth.

Crap, Crap, Crap!Lu Xiaohui scolded in his heart, attacking back and forth, wouldn't it appear that he was afraid of him by walking at this time!

Hearing the sound of water, Lu Xiaohui's ears turned red, but he didn't move his face away in time like a shutdown.

Gong Yi shivered, lifted his trousers, went to the sink to wash his hands, gave him a sideways look, and said angrily, "Haven't you seen it?"

"Bah! Nonsense!" Lu Xiaohui yelled, "I don't want to see it at such a small size."

Gong Yi raised his eyebrows and approached, such a big body stood in front of Lu Xiaohui like a wall, and said dangerously, "What did you say?"

The pressure was too strong, Lu Xiaohui took half a step back slowly, kept swallowing, raised his eyes, "I said, smoking is not allowed in school..."

Gong Yi let out a low laugh, his voice was hoarse, he was very angry, and he forced Lu Xiaohui back to the wall in a vicious manner. The cigarette tail in his mouth touched Lu Xiaohui's forehead, so that he could almost smell the nicotine. The stench of, "Did I light it?"

Lu Xiaohui felt that he was useless, but he had seen Gong Yi beat someone very fiercely. He was afraid that he would be beaten up too, so he could only explain aggrievedly, "You can't do it with your mouth."

"Isn't that okay too?" Gong Yi looked down at him and repeated with great interest.

Lu Xiaohui was completely imprisoned between Gong Yi and a corner of the wall, only Gong Yi's chin could be seen, and what Gong Yi said floated around his neck like hydrogen gas, and his ears were on fire.

Lu Xiaohui said awkwardly, "How do I know?"

Gong Yi looked at him silently for a moment, then suddenly laughed, "Lu Xiaohui, are you afraid of me?"

"No!" Lu Xiaohui quickly retorted.

"Oh." Gong Yi nodded as if convinced, he raised his hand to approach, but Lu Xiaohui subconsciously raised his hand and tilted his head to block, Gong Yi paused with one hand in the air, with a funny but determined expression, "You are really afraid of me."

Lu Xiaohui didn't dare to move, and let the hand slide from his shoulder to the back of his neck as if teasing, the warm touch was fleeting.

After a long time, he timidly opened his eyes, and happened to see Gong throwing a fallen leaf and unlit cigarette into the trash can, put his hands in his trouser pockets, and said to him, "Let's go."

Lu Xiaohui was stunned for a moment, and followed him in a strange way.

The two walked towards the alley one after the other, Lu Xiaohui lowered his head thinking all the way, and accidentally bumped into Gong Yi's solid back.He rubbed the sore bridge of his nose and looked up, when Gong Yi turned around, pushed him back, and said with no expression on his face, "Go and buy me a pack of cigarettes."

"What..." Lu Xiaohui glanced behind Gong Yi complainingly, just happened to see the three people blocking him approaching casually, he was frightened, woke up seven or eight times out of his wits, and grabbed Gong Yi's wrist in a panic Said, "How can I rely on them! Let's run!"

"Just don't miss the lady's cigarettes." Gong Yi smiled for the first time, and pulled his hand out while pressing Lu Xiaohui's slender white wrist, "Don't want mint flavor, bitch."

He urged: "Go."

When Lu Xiaohui ran to the small supermarket, he was still wondering why he was also a man, and Gong Yi's hands were so strong that his wrists would be pinched.

Only the supermarket farthest from the school sells cigarettes, Lu Xiaohui randomly asked someone to take a pack of the most expensive ones, and ran to the alley while dialing, his mood was as chaotic as the wires above the old city.

But in just a few minutes, I was out of breath.When he saw the person clearly, he paused, his heart suddenly relaxed, and he bent over and half squatted panting.He half looked up and stared at Gong Yi who was leaning against the entrance of the alley smoking and looking at him with a smile on his face, and said viciously, "What the hell..."

Gong Yi's clothes were a bit disheveled, but he didn't care. He dimmed the cigarette on the wall and approached, condescendingly waiting for him to finish speaking.

Lu Xiaohui was still holding a brand new cigarette case in his hand, staring at the steaming cigarette butts on the ground and panting, "Isn't there a cigarette..."

Gong Yi rubbed Lu Xiaohui's head and smiled, "It's fun to tease you."

Lu Xiaohui straightened his waist and shook off his hand, walking in front of Gong Yi with a little anger.

He looked around first, and the people blocking him were gone. The empty lime alley had half a piece of broken brick scattered underground. He turned around in surprise, "Where's the person?"

Gong Yi shrugged and said nothing.

"It's awesome..." Lu Xiaohui muttered in a low voice, "He's good at fighting."

Gong Yi walked beside him, leaned very close, and hooked the corners of his mouth when he heard the words, "I didn't come, are you going to hide in the toilet until tomorrow morning?"

"What are you hiding..." Lu Xiaohui felt that these words were contemptuous, and he was not happy to hear them.After a while, he looked up innocently and said, "Aren't they going out to eat? I'll leave then."

Gong Yi tilted his head to look at him, the setting sun was sinking, and it cast a sparkle in Lu Xiaohui's eyes like paint staining a canvas, he smiled, unexpectedly did not laugh at Lu Xiaohui, "Yes."

Lu Xiaohui didn't realize it, and said again: "If it doesn't work, I'll just pay, don't they just want money?"

Gong Yi paused, his brows furrowed indistinctly, "Are you going to pay again?"

"What's wrong?" Lu Xiaohui felt puzzled.

"Do you know that not everything can be solved by money?" Gong Yi said.

"But this matter can be done!" Lu Xiaohui suddenly felt aggrieved, "If you hadn't interrupted me last time and I paid the money, they wouldn't have come to stop me today."

Gong Yi looked cold, "Lu Xiaohui, you used your parents' money, this is not a problem you can solve by yourself."

"So what!" Lu Xiaohui was so anxious that he was about to cry, he just thought that Gong Yi and himself had settled down!

He was sobbing with anger, he could hardly catch his breath, "If I have money, I can use it to solve the problem, you, why do you criticize me!"

Gong Yi didn't speak any more, the warmth in his eyes just now faded away like a tide.He looked at Lu Xiaohui calmly, "Go ahead, no one will stop you."

Before Lu Xiaohui could answer, Gong Yi turned around and walked back into the alley.

Lu Xiaohui stood at another entrance of the alley, feeling aggrieved and impatient, he knew he had said something wrong.

The people from the Technical Academy really never looked for him again.

He stared at Gong Yi's very clean and harsh white T-shirt as it disappeared into the alley, as if swallowed by a gray stone wall.The ashes burned by the setting sun were like a ravine in the sky, stuck in his throat, and fell into the alley again.

3.

Gong Yi said, "It's fun to tease you."

In the following months, Lu Xiaohui kept thinking about this sentence, and occasionally he felt a kind of itching in his heart, which was similar to tooth buds breaking flesh*.

In the early morning of the city, avoid the noisy night streets and go back to the avenue. Only the silence can show the depression that belongs to the night alone.

Lu Xiaohui and Gong Yi walked side by side on the street.The darkness fell on their shoulders.

Gong Yi's cell phone kept ringing, and after picking out a message to reply, he simply turned it off.

"A few friends came out to play." After turning off the phone, Gong Yi's voice seemed empty, he tilted his head and smiled at Lu Xiaohui, "I'm working as an apprentice in an auto repair shop now."

Lu Xiaohui's breathing was stagnant, and after a while, he reciprocated, "I'm studying at M University."

Gong Yi smiled slightly and said without being surprised, "I thought you would go abroad."

Everyone thinks so.He felt that Lu Xiaohui would take it for granted as Mr. Lu and spend his family's money to enter a famous foreign school.

Lu Xiaohui thought embarrassingly, everyone thinks so, but you don't.

Lu Xiaohui whispered: "You have a great influence on me."

Gong Yi didn't speak any more.

There were not many people on the road.The street lights that were not on at all barely shone on the empty road.It had just rained, and the occasional moist wind passed between the two of them, and they walked slowly with a distance between them.

Lu Xiaohui's throat was sore and itchy. After a long time, he couldn't help asking, "You... didn't take the college entrance examination?"

Gong Yi took out a cigarette from his trouser pocket and held it between his fingers. He didn't light it, and smiled, "Yes. I'm not suitable for reading."

"Who said that?" Lu Xiaohui hated his self-deprecation.

"You know, let me think about what you said under the national flag at that time." Lu Xiaohui turned his head and said indifferently, "After disappearing for so long, I thought you were joking."

Gong Yi didn't deny it, Lu Xiaohui didn't hear his voice.

The road at night was too quiet and too long, the water droplets brought up by the shoes rubbing against the water-logged potholes were light, and the only thing that could be heard was the irregular heartbeat in his chest.He kept beating like a drummer, and now he was getting more and more tired.Lu Xiaohui's suddenly hot ears finally cooled down, and even his heels were cooled by the rain.

There is a bus stop in front, and the stop sign is still bright, but the single stop sign somehow became a double image in Lu Xiaohui's eyes, blurred.

He sniffed loudly, when he heard Gong Yi sigh helplessly, and wiped the corners of his eyes with warm hands, "Don't cry, I can't take it."

Lu Xiaohui's mouth was stiff, and he twisted his crying face, "Who is crying?"

Gong Yi used to say that Lu Xiaohui was a crybaby, wrinkling his nose every now and then.That white and tender face with a red nose, was as expensive as a doll he couldn't afford in his life.

Gong Yi's heart suddenly became so soft that he couldn't beat anymore. The cigarette between his fingertips accidentally scratched Lu Xiaohui's face, so he threw the cigarette away and said softly, "I'm out of the province. My father beat my mother and said If I want to kill her, she dare not go anywhere else, so I will take her back to grandma's house." He took Lu Xiaohui into his arms, covered his head, touched his back, explained Comforting, "I didn't lie to you...how could I lie to you..."

His hands moved smoothly and smoothly, as if comforting a crying baby who was hiccupping. Lu Xiaohui buried him in his arms, sucking the smell of Gong Yi.

He recalled and guessed this smell for nearly nine months, but once it seeped into his chest, it was like oil soaking paper, the boat slipped into the harbor, and Lu Xiaohui kept thinking about it, wondering if he had thought about this smell for a longer time.

He buried his head and cried violently, tears moistened Gong Yi's chest, "You, you said let me think about it, you said you would wait for as long as you wanted, but, but when I turned around, why did you leave..."

"I'm not leaving..." Gong Yi's voice was also hoarse, his voice was trembling due to trying to restrain certain emotions, "I swear I will not leave."

"Do you keep your word?" Lu Xiaohui hiccupped and raised his head sobbing.

"Forget it." Gong Yi looked at him tenderly, with almost dedication-like sincerity, "Stop crying, okay?"

Lu Xiaohui knew that Gong Yi didn't lie to him, so he wiped his face until his hands were wet, then leaned up to rub Gong Yi's shoulder, pointed to the side casually, and said compassionately to Gong Yi: "Then let's go drink Shake it."

4.

This 24 hour convenience store and no one else.The cashier slumped in a chair and yawned as he made the milkshake.

Lu Xiaohui and Gong Yi both ordered strawberry milkshakes and sat down in the double seats near the glass wall.

Lu Xiaohui's eyes were red and swollen, he should have been crying a lot just now, he held the ice cup of milkshake to his eyelids, and was stabbed to blink continuously.

Gong Yi lightly pressed the lid of the cup, "Don't apply it, you won't see it."

Lu Xiaohui obediently put down his glass, took a sip of the ice-cold strawberry milkshake, and the sandy and sweet taste exploded in his mouth.

The wet mood hadn't passed yet, he blocked his nose and asked, "What's the matter with your parents?"

Gong Yi's eyes dimmed a little when he heard this, but he smiled with the corners of his mouth curled up, "They have very different identities. My father is very rich, so he didn't let my mother run away at first. After I escaped to my grandmother's house, I kept calling her to harass her. It was useless to report to the police. The harassing phone calls can’t be dealt with at all, she was so scared that she couldn’t sleep, and I stayed with her all the time.”

Has it been like this for almost nine months!Lu Xiaohui's eyes widened in astonishment, "Why didn't you tell me!"

Gong Yi smiled, and handed him a tissue to signal him to wipe the milkshake on the corner of his mouth, "Later, Gong Jian's company was about to go public, and I was worried about the negative impact, so I told him that I would contact the media to disclose him. He never looked for it again. We, I'll be back."

Lu Xiaohui was dumbfounded, Gong Yi said it calmly, only he knew how difficult it is to live in the darkness for nine months and drag someone along.

Lu Xiaohui felt sour in his heart, "Can you not hide it from me? Let's, let's find a way together."

Gong Yi let out a muffled laugh, absolutely not intending to ridicule.But Lu Xiaohui's face turned hot, trying to prove himself, "I'm studying at M University now, I understand what you mean, you can't do things all by family, and money is not everything..."

"No." Gong Yi interrupted him, with a coldness similar to compromise, "Money is everything."

Lu Xiaohui stared at him blankly.

Gong Yi said calmly: "With money, you can do many things, you can beat your wife, you can bribe her friends, you can deactivate all credit cards, and you can send people to make endless phone calls without punishment. I can't do it. No one can protect me well." He raised his head and looked at Lu Xiaohui with unknown emotions in his eyes, "I dare not run away, and...don't dare to move forward."

"But you took her to escape, right?" Lu Xiaohui mumbled, "You took her out and helped me become independent."

"You're on your own." Gong Yi smiled, seeing that his glass of milkshake had bottomed out, he pushed the unopened milkshake over, "I can't do anything."

The strawberry milkshake changed in an instant.Lu Xiaohui felt that something had changed, a piece of his heart seemed to be hollowed out, but he couldn't be sure and couldn't say anything.

The convenience store was very quiet, and the cashier turned his head to look here curiously.Lu Xiaohui looked down at the pink milk cup that was almost hypocritical, water droplets slid down from the cup wall and hit Lu Xiaohui's heart, he moved his fingers, and suddenly said softly: "Gong Yi, you used to be very brave. "

Gong Yiru was hit hard, his whole body was stiff.

After a long time, the corners of his mouth twitched, and he said, "Didn't I promise you, I won't leave."

Lu Xiaohui didn't answer, he lowered his head, feeling that his dry eyes were starting to hurt again, but he didn't want Gong to say some forced words pitifully, so he didn't touch the glass of milkshake either.

He almost couldn't help blurting it out, but you didn't want to go any further.

5.

There was no moon at night, and a few stars were scattered, as if they had sneaked out of the curtain ahead of time.

Lu Xiaohui told him that his home was nearby and there was no need to take the bus.Gong Yi quietly walked with him to the neighborhood.

"Where do you live now?" Lu Xiaohui asked in a low voice.

"Rent a room with a friend who is an apprentice." Gong Yi told him softly, answering every question.

"What about in the future?" Lu Xiaohui asked cautiously.

Gong Yi was silent for a moment before telling him his plan.Auto repair can go up, he will not be willing to work for others all his life.But the society is so cruel, and Gong Yi has always been unlucky.

Lu Xiaohui smiled suddenly, his eyes were bright, as if he had stolen the starlight behind the curtain, he raised his head and smiled and said: "I have seen a movie before, the two protagonists walked together on the streets of a foreign country for one night, and when they reached almost Dawn. Does it look like the two of us?"

Gong Yi didn't answer, but instead raised his eyebrows, "A romance movie?"

"..." Lu Xiaohui choked, and defended after a while, "What Zong Chengye wants to see, he is secretly coquettish."

Gong Yi chuckled and didn't continue this topic.

The road of the community is just ahead, and it takes a long and empty road from here to the gate.There are some gray road lights on both sides, and there is a big pit in the middle of the road. Tonight, there is a little water, and there is a sporadic moonlight floating on it. I can't walk through it, only dirty and wet shoes.

I don't know how many times I walked, Lu Xiaohui felt that this was like the alley next to the school.

Gong Yi walked on the outside without making a sound, and his shadow naturally swayed into the water, like the hem of a coat that flashed away at the entrance of an alley.

Lu Xiaohui stopped suddenly, looked up at Gong Yi, "Don't leave, don't send it off."

"Huh?" Gong Yi paused, a little puzzled, "Let's go downstairs."

"Don't give it away." Lu Xiaohui stiffened his neck and said forcefully, "Don't follow me from now on."

He didn't seem to see Gong Yi's almost bewildered, almost astonished expression, he raised his head and said, "Didn't you follow me enough in the past? You followed me to that alley in high school, and later you would follow me as long as I was on duty." I will go home late, in fact, I can see you many times..."

Gong Yi pursed his lips, and his fists suddenly tightened.

"No need now." Lu Xiaohui smiled, and proudly raised his arms to show off his muscles, "No one will hurt me anymore, I have become very strong."

It never matters if you want to quit, because no one is waiting for you.

Gong Yi laughed at himself, his previously tightly sealed heart was like a tide bursting a bank, and bitter water welled up in his eyes. When he watched Lu Xiaohui's almost cruel and calm statement that it didn't matter without Gong Yi, he suddenly realized that he also He didn't want to let Lu Xiaohui go that much.

"Okay, now I'm going home." Lu Xiaohui said softly.

Stop talking, Gong Yi wanted to say.Pain overflowed from the bottom of the eyes, and the nails were almost embedded in the flesh.His heart was screaming crazily because his voice blocked all the remaining words, stop it!don't go!I love you.

Gong Yi pursed his lips tightly, but he couldn't bring Lu Xiaohui a better life, why did he want to dirty this star who deserves all the best and is not worthy of Gong Yi at all?

He was willing to stand still and wait for Lu Xiaohui all the time, but Lu Xiaohui couldn't be dragged by him and put into his arms selfishly.

Lu Xiaohui stared straight at Gong Yi's lips that were about to be puckered, a little disappointment fainted in his eyes.

But Kyouichi's gaffe, which he tried his best to restrain, was still noticed because of the leaked trembling.Lu Xiaohui suddenly felt a sense of bravery that he had never felt before.

Lu Xiaohui took a step forward, raised his hand and first touched Gong Yi's lips, where it was dry and warm, and then forced him to close his eyes full of pain, approached, and then pressed against Gong Yi's chest, feeling the stiffness and flow, hearing his With a heartbeat that wouldn't deceive anyone, he said softly but firmly, "Kyoichi, I'm going home. Don't follow me this time, and go home with me, okay?"

Kyouichi couldn't hold back anymore.Once the defense in his heart was pierced, he thought desperately, try it, and walk with this person, how can there be anything wrong.

Lu Xiaohui briefly became Gong Yi's star without knowing it, illuminating him before the setting sun set and the darkness surged up.

really weird.

The road at dusk is the longest. At that time, he would first watch Lu Xiaohui get into the car safely, and then walk slowly home, facing the chicken feathers all over the place.At that time, Gong Yi was full of courage and unspeakable cowardice, but he was a little braver than now.

But it doesn't matter how timid Gong Yi is now, because he used to walk 99 steps behind Lu Xiaohui, and Lu Xiaohui can take the last step.

Full of unspeakable emotions flowed through the movements, he first hugged Lu Xiaohui, and then kissed him, under the moonlight.
