long life

The author says:

The city is bustling with people, looking for someone aimlessly is like looking for a needle in a haystack, not to mention that Yu Xiu doesn't have any contact device on him.

Han Ningshuo and Cheng Da looked around where they usually go, but they still couldn't find Yu Xiu.

When receiving the call from the two, Zhou Jing had been staring at the passing crowd for a long time on the side of the road that must pass through the apartment.

It was cloudy and rainy for several days. Before the street lights came on, the pedestrians returned. From the backlog of clouds, it began to drizzle. It was not very heavy at first. It fell on the face like soft hair, crisp and itchy, and the passers-by continued to walk. As before, he didn't show much concern.

But the rain didn't mean to stop there. Instead, it became heavier and heavier. The cool wind mixed with the rain gradually made a sound.

Zhou Jing's hair was already a little wet, and the fine bangs were sticking to his forehead and temples, and the rain slowly trickled down the sides of his cheeks, soaking a piece of the collar of his clothes.

He sat and waited under the bus stop not far away, watching the buses stop and go, strangers going up and down, until the number of people waiting for the bus became less and less, the rain began to become random, and finally only The next pair of mother and daughter holding umbrellas stood on the other side of the station.

The girl held a folded flower umbrella tightly in her hand, looked at Zhou Jing from time to time, occasionally wanted to get closer, but was stopped by her mother beside her.

Maybe people can't help but sympathize with his appearance at the moment, Zhou Jing smiled weakly, silently retracted his gaze, raised his cuffs to wipe off the remaining rain on his face.

He couldn't help shivering when cold fingers brushed across his face. After sitting still for a long time in a lower ambient temperature, his body would naturally become cold and numb.

The two mobile phones in the pocket were turned to the maximum volume, except for a few calls from Han Ningshuo, they never rang again.

He curled up in a corner of the city alone, his eyes wandering around like leaves blown by the street wind, feeling extremely lonely.

Yu Xiu has never been so worrying, at least it has never been before. The longer it takes to find him, the more uneasy Zhou Jing feels in his heart. The uneasiness gradually accumulates over time, as if at any time. can devour itself.

But there was no place he should go to find, and he really didn't know where else to go.

A black car whistled past, splashing water that was ten feet high. Zhou Jing raised his head in a daze. After a moment of wandering eyes, he suddenly locked on the police station across the road.

The usually solemn and solemn words now seemed extremely eye-catching and dazzling. His fingers subconsciously retracted, and his heartbeat started beating chaotically at this moment.

Yu Xiu had disappeared for nearly a day, he could not let him think about the good and the bad, but he knew in his heart that seeking help from the police was the best and also the worst decision.

Zhou Jing stood up staggeringly, seemingly unconscious when the rain fell on his face, and walked a few short steps, but it was extremely difficult to walk at this moment.

"elder brother……"

Just as he was about to cross the road, a voice sounded unexpectedly from behind.

The footsteps that Zhou Jing was about to take suddenly stopped suddenly, as if someone had pressed a pause, he turned his head a little uncertainly, and in just a moment, his eyes were occupied by one person.

First, there was a pleasant surprise, and then there was a soreness in his heart, mixed with inexplicable emotions, Zhou Jing became at a loss for a while, he stood there for a long time, then turned around and turned to face him without saying a word. Walk to the apartment.

"Brother." Yu Xiu followed quickly, and most of his clothes were also soaked, but his coat was casually wrapped around his body, except for the remaining arm hanging outside, which seemed a bit weird.

Zhou Jing seemed to have never heard of it, and continued walking, but his eyes became more and more moist, as if rainwater had accidentally fallen in, and then fell down the corners of his eyes.

Yu Xiu called a few times but didn't see him agreeing, so he quietly followed behind Zhou Jing step by step.

From the station to the apartment downstairs, and then took the elevator back to the door together, the two never said a word.

Until Zhou Jing opened the door, Yu Xiu suddenly said behind him, brother, we are home.

The hand that unlocked the door was startled.

Yu Xiu took the opportunity to say: "I ran into Han Ningshuo and Cheng Da on the way back. They said that brother has been looking for me since the early days."

"En." Zhou Jing agreed with his back turned to him, with a little nasal and vibrato.

"I didn't let them notify you in time... It's my fault, and I shouldn't have contacted you for so long."

Yu Xiu tightened his hands and lowered his head, "I was at the station just now, but I've been here for a while."

Zhou Jing's figure swayed slightly, and Yu Xiu only saw him lift his sleeves and wipe his face, and then heard him questioning in a hoarse voice: "So, do you want to see how anxious and worried I am for you?"

"No brother!" Yu Xiu hurried forward, trying to reach out and grab Zhou Jing's arm to explain.

Zhou Jing subconsciously waved his hand and flicked it away, perhaps because he used too much force, Yu Xiu staggered back two steps, the coat slipped off most of his body at this time, revealing a bandage-wrapped arm.

"Your arm..." Zhou Jing was taken aback for a moment, then his heart suddenly became entangled, and he couldn't help blaming himself for touching his injured place just now.

"Don't worry, it's just twisted." Yu Xiu leaned close to him again, holding his injured hand on Zhou Jing's wrist with great effort, "When I came back this morning, I was protecting a boy who was almost hit by a car on the side of the road. I accidentally sprained it, and his parents insisted on taking me to the hospital for a checkup, so I didn’t come back until now.”

Zhou Jing didn't dare to break free this time, and if he made any big moves, he simply let Yu Xiu hold his hand.

He raised his head and met Yu Xiu's gaze, his eyes were filled with thin red, which was clearly the trace of crying, "Don't the hospital have a phone? The boy's parents, can't they borrow their phone?"

"I..." Yu Xiu stared at him in a daze.

"Do you know how worried I am, if something happens, what will your parents do, what will I do?" Zhou Jing became more and more excited, pouring out all the words in his head.

"I was wrong brother, next time..."

"Do you still want to have a next time?" Zhou Jing interrupted tremblingly.

"Not anymore, never again." Yu Xiu looked at him and paused every word, "I swear, never again."

He seemed to be extremely pleasantly surprised, and before Zhou Jing could withdraw his arm, Yu Xiu's injured hand tried his best to hold the temperature he wanted to escape tightly in his palm.

"Brother, you actually like me too, don't you?"

Yu Xiu asked suddenly, no longer as worried as before, but straightforward, eager to get an answer, either joyful or disappointed.

Zhou Jing froze in place for a moment.

After a long silence, he opened his mouth and replied in a daze, "I'm afraid I won't be able to do well, and I won't be able to give you what you want."

"I don't need anything from you, so you just don't do anything..." After getting an answer that wasn't a rejection, Yu Xiu almost cried with joy, "Just stay by my side... okay?"

"Stand where you are, embrace me, and love me."

He said, I want to hold an umbrella for you when it rains, and I want to cook for you myself. I want to accompany you to watch even if the snow falls in the north and the sun is warm in the south.

It was as if the chatter had suddenly been opened, Yu Xiu was excited and chattered endlessly, Zhou Jing listened to him carefully, her eyes gradually turned red.

"Yu Xiu." He interrupted suddenly with a choked voice, and looked at him with red eyes, "...what is it about me that you like?"

Yu Xiu suddenly fell silent, and after a while, he lowered his head to kiss his hair, then held his cheek, and gently stroked every inch of skin under his fingers with his thumb.

"I like here...everywhere." He lowered his eyes and rubbed Zhou Jing's forehead with the tip of his nose, "I like a gentleman named Zhou Jing, he is my brother, and he is also my favorite. people."

Zhou Jing closed her eyes, letting the tears flow freely, and suddenly felt that everything else was no longer so important, and standing in front of her was someone who liked her and liked her.

The person I like, he is called Yu Xiu, my memory was full of him, and it will be the same in the future.

The two of them put their heads against each other like this, cuddling each other until the soles of their feet felt numb.

"Brother, can I kiss you?" Yu Xiu suddenly asked him softly, looking nervously at Zhou Jing as if asking for an opinion.

Zhou Jing shook his head, and when he saw the disappointment in Yu Xiu's eyes, he suddenly smiled and tiptoed, and took the initiative to close his lips.

Yu Xiu was stunned, and then catered to them, the two kissed forgetfully, and even more forgetfully, the unspoken words melted between their lips and teeth.
