blockhouse
Chapter 7 Running Fast
It was four o'clock in the morning when I returned to the cabin after washing up and stood by the tacos.
Qi Yue actually brought out a set of pajamas to change into.
"Just sleep in a shack and change into pajamas." Gu Zhong said casually.
"I have slept in this shack for six years." Qi Yue took off his shirt, "Changing pajamas can give people the illusion of "home, so that they don't feel like they are wandering. "
Gu Zhong felt that what he said was a little inappropriate, and wanted to add a few words: "This is your shop, you live alone, this is home..."
He glanced at Qi Yue, but he didn't continue.
Qi Yue's back was full of scars, deep and shallow staggered, the longest and deepest one extending from the left shoulder to the right waist.
This is a posture to split directly with a knife.
"Do you want it? Pajamas." Qi Yue put on his pajamas and asked him.
Gu Zhong has never been in the habit of wearing pajamas. At home and in the dormitory, he would take off only a pair of underwear and then slip under the quilt. In unfamiliar places, he would only take off his coat.
But Qiyue here, whether he is familiar or not, he can't judge for a while.Qi Yue didn't wait for his answer, and directly took a set and threw it on his head.Light blue with white polka dots.
"So...cute." Gu Zhong shook his clothes.
"Same as you." Qi Yue took off his outer pants and put on pajama pants.
Gu Zhong glanced at his leg a few times, but there was no injury.
"You don't wear leggings when you fight?" He said, "You don't even have a scar."
"Whoever fights cut off his leg." Qi Yue sat down, pushed him in with the tacos, and lay down.
Gu Zhong changed into that cute polka-dot pajamas, and he could smell a very faint fragrance when he lay down.
I can't tell if it's on the clothes or on Qi Yue's body next to me.
"Are you okay if you don't go home?" Qi Yue asked.
"It's okay." Gu Zhong said, "I told my mother, even if I didn't tell, no one would notice.
"How come no one noticed." Qi Yue sighed softly, "Child, I don't understand anything."
Gu Zhong was silent for a while and turned his head: "Are you homesick?"
"If you get used to it, you won't think about it." Qi Yue reached out and turned off the light in the hut, "But... I will think about it today."
The door that closed without hesitation flashed in the darkness in front of Gu Zhong.
"Every year..." Qi Yue said, "I'm more hypocritical today, thinking a lot, and maybe talking a lot."
"You can say what you want," Gu Zhong said, "I'm willing to listen."
"It's over." Qi Yue smiled.
"Are you going to wait until next year?" Gu Zhong asked.
"I don't know." Qi Yue thought for a while, "I probably haven't met anyone I can talk to for a long time."
"An hour ago, I thought I was stupid." Gu Zhong said.
"I'm so hungry that I can't choose what to eat." Qi Yue said.
When hearing Qi Yue's words.My heart was as calm as water.Gu Zhong applauded for himself, he smiled and said: "I am also very tasty when I am not hungry."
Qi Yue turned his head in the dark.Gu Zhong suddenly felt a little subtle, maybe he was too relaxed, and said such embarrassing words casually.
Of course, maybe it was something else.
Qi Yue's breath swept over his earlobe, and he turned his head back.Neither of them spoke anymore, Gu Zhong closed his eyes, feeling sleepy, this night actually made him a little tired.
But the feeling of fatigue at this moment made him feel at ease and comfortable in a daze.
"Have a chance to taste if it's really delicious." Qi Yue said in a low voice.
Gu Zhong was only stunned for a second in shock, and fell asleep before he could speak.
It was almost dawn when I fell asleep, which wasn't a big deal, but it was quite frustrating to be woken up before dawn.
But when Gu Zhong found out in a daze that it was Qi Yue's sleep talking that woke him up, he immediately forgot about his depression, he was stunned for a moment, curiously trying to hear what he said.
After hearing it clearly, I couldn't listen anymore.
"Go quickly." Qi Yue kept saying, whether it was fast or slow, light or heavy, clear or vague, but there were only these two words.
Hearing that, people's hearts suddenly tugged.
"Hey, wake up." Gu Zhong gently pushed him, the hut has no windows, and Qi Yue's state cannot be seen clearly even if the lights are turned off, he said softly, "Are you having a nightmare?"
Qi Yue didn't respond, his breathing became a little rough, and it seemed a little difficult.
"Come on," he said.
"Brother Qi," Gu Zhong added some strength and pushed him again, "Qi Yue, Qi Yue?"
After Qi Yue paused for breath, he returned to the previous chaos.
Gu Zhong sat up, walked over Qi Yue on his stomach, reached out to touch the switch, and turned on the light.
According to his understanding, dreaming is not deep sleep, but Qi Yue seems to be unable to wake up, frowning, his face is covered with thin beads of sweat.
This person will not only be trapped in memories, but also in dreams.
Gu Zhong only felt that the last bit of drowsiness left in him was completely dispelled by his miraculous imagination. He slapped Qi Yue's face and shouted: "Qi Yue!"
In the early years, too many people were hacked and killed, and the sequelae were probably that they reacted too quickly.
Qi Yue's eyes just opened a slit, and his arms were raised before he could see who the head above him was.
When Gu Zhong was flipped onto the corn husk beside him, he couldn't help cursing: "You are a wolf!"
"Chuan'er?" Qi Yue had a sleepy nasal voice, full of surprise.
"Chuan'er, you uncle!" Gu Zhong said.
"What's the matter, sir?" Qi Yue asked.
"Are you dreaming?" Gu Zhong sighed.
Qi Yue didn't answer right away, and after a while reached out and turned off the light, he replied in a low voice: "En."
"Nightmare?" Gu Zhong also lowered his voice.
"Yes." Qi Yue replied honestly.
"Yes..." Gu Zhong turned his head, "You keep saying 'run'.
"Ah." Qi Yue smiled softly, "Really?"
"In the future..." Some strange emotions surged in Gu Zhongzhong, and he couldn't tell what it was, "If you tell me to run, I will definitely run."
Qi Yue seemed to be stunned, turned over after a few seconds, hugged him, and said with a slight trembling voice when he spoke again: "Good boy."
Gu Zhong froze, not knowing how to answer.
"I'm not always like this, just...these few days." Qi Yue said.
Gu Zhong continued to freeze.
"Thank you." Qi Yue said again.
"You're welcome." Gu Zhong said.
The conversation can't go on.It's not because the atmosphere is a bit weird, but because I'm too sleepy. When I'm sleepy, I'm woken up. After being nervous, I breathe a sigh of relief, and the drowsiness strikes me even more uncontrollably.
Gu Zhong fell asleep before Qi Yue let go of his arms.
When I wake up, the hut is still dim, without lights, this room will make people lose the concept of time.
Living here for a long time is not very good.Will be like Qi Yue.
He yawned and found that Qi Yue was no longer in the room.I changed clothes and walked out of the hut. It was a sunny day outside. I took out my phone and took a look. It was already past one o'clock in the noon.
There was a message from his mother on the phone, asking him if he would go home tonight.
Can't go home.Are you asking if you will go home for dinner, or if you will go home to sleep?
Gu Zhong replied to his mother while going downstairs: I don't know yet.
Mom didn't pay attention to him anymore, she probably needed to catch up on sleep.
Ordinary people still show face when seeking revenge, smashing only on the first floor, maybe because they are afraid that there will be an ambush on the second floor.
The feeling was not obvious last night, and now is the best time for the sun in the afternoon, the sunlight coming in from the empty window frame illuminated the mess, making it look particularly lonely and very cold.
Gu Zhong picked out the complete tables and chairs from the fallen tables and chairs and put them back, and packed the broken ones outside the back door, then took the broom and started sweeping the floor.
Qi Yue didn't know what he was busy with in the back kitchen, and he didn't come out when he heard any movement.
It wasn't until Gu Zhong finished tidying up the first floor that he poked his head out from the window of the back kitchen to have a look and said, "I'll give you some bonus, award for dedication and dedication."
"What should we do these two days?" Gu Zhong looked at him while supporting the broom.
"It's closed." Qi Yue said, "You go home, I'll sleep."
"Oh." Gu Zhong responded.
A little surprised by the disappointment in his voice.
"I'll call you again when it reopens." Qi Yue said.
"Does your place reopen many times every year?" Gu Zhong said, "Your nickname is Daji, right?"
Qi Yue didn't speak, but looked at him and curled his lips.
"How do you know?" Qi Yue said.
Gu Zhong looked at the meaningful smile on the corner of his mouth, stretched out his finger and pointed at him. "You cow."
"I found that your temper is much better now." Qi Yue said, "You are getting more and more forbidden."
"Are you satisfied? Boss." Gu Zhong took a rag and began to wipe the table. Even though the windows were still empty and the tables and chairs were not in order, he still tried his best to make the shop look less dilapidated.
"I wish I had met you a few years earlier." Qi Yue said
"Don't." Gu Zhong said, "A few years ago, I rebuked you and probably made you useless."
Qi Yue laughed for a while, then turned around and went back to work.
The current Qi Yue is quite good, lazy and calm, his eyes are calm when looking at everything, which makes people feel safe.Gu Zhong likes to stay with him, chatting, watching movies, occasionally being teased speechless: guessing his past from time to time, plain and novel.
After tidying up, Qi Yue came out of the back kitchen with a tray, a pizza and two plates of pasta, which smelled delicious.
"Let's go upstairs to eat, there's no room for people on the first floor." Qi Yue said.
Gu Zhong thought about it, made two more cups of lemon oak tea, and took them up to the second floor.
"Let's eat." Qi Yue said.
Sleeping is a strange thing. It is obviously a rest, but it is like physical work. After sleeping for a long time, you will feel hungry and panic.Gu Zhong took the plate, lowered his head and started eating the noodles.Qi Yue was scratching with his mobile phone, and didn't eat the noodles or pizza.
"You don't..." Gu Zhong didn't finish asking, Qi Yue held the phone to his ear and said "Hello".
He had to shut up and keep eating.
"Happy New Year, Uncle Li." Qi Yue said, took a piece of pizza and put it on his plate, "When you have time, help me arrange two people to come over to install the glass... The ones on the first floor are all broken..."
This Uncle Li probably repaired the windows of the blockhouse all the year round, and he was not at all surprised that the glass in the "broken window professional store" was broken again.
Although the workers are on holiday for Chinese New Year, and there is no work until the sixth day of junior high school, he still finds a way to arrange it, and comes to repair it in the third junior high school.
After Qi Yue finished the phone call, he began to eat slowly, as if he had no appetite.On the contrary, he took the two cups of lemon tea and drank them all, thinking that Gu Zhong didn't add some cream to him.
Are you not hungry?" Gu Zhong asked.
"Yeah." Qi Yue pushed the pizza in front of him, "Eat it all"
Gu Zhong didn't ask too much, and took it all away.Then stared at the TV in a daze.
The TV on the first floor was also smashed. Although the first floor is too cold for people to live in, compared with the "movies" that haven't been updated in the cabin on the third floor for several years, he originally wanted to watch TV against the cold of.
"Go back." Qi Yue said.
"En." Gu Zhong leaned against the bar and responded.
Qi Yue tugged at the collar of his coat and wandered around the first floor, wondering if he was checking for damage.
After turning around, he returned to the bar, looked at Gu Zhong and said, "You can go back, there's nothing else to do."
"En." Gu Zhong cleared his throat and nodded.
Qi Yue stuffed his hands into his pockets, went out through the back door, looked at the broken tables and chairs behind him, lit a cigarette, and went back to the bar.
"you……"
"Yeah." Gu Zhong nodded, glanced at the time on the phone, but still didn't move.
"Oh." Qi Yue seemed to recover, and took out the car key from his pocket, "I'll see you off, I can't get the car right now."
Gu Zhong stared at the phone: "I'll leave later."
Qi Yue didn't speak any more, and looked at him in the cold wind blowing in from the window.Gu Zhong never took his eyes off his hands
Looking at the computer screen, not knowing what he was scrolling, he finally raised his eyes to look at Qi Yue.
The cigarette dangling from his mouth has been blown out by the wind, and he is still holding it.
"The main reason is that it's not interesting for me to go back now." Gu Zhong reached out and took off half of the cigarette butt and threw it into the trash can, then walked upstairs, "My dad probably isn't at home, my mom is sleeping, and then I went to grandma's house at night For dinner...we will go to grandma's house to eat until the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, it's too noisy..."
Gu Zhong went up the stairs very quickly, bouncing around, as if Qi Yue would catch up with him if he walked slower, and dragged him to send him home.
Qi Yue followed upstairs, and the two sat in the corner on the second floor.
"Let's make a pot of fruit tea." Qi Yue said after sitting silly for almost half an hour.
"Yeah." Gu Zhong stood up.
There is an electric kettle on the second floor. He went to the refrigerator on the first floor to find ingredients for fruit tea, and then returned to the second floor to start making tea.Ever since he became a handyman in the blockhouse, he is good at making all kinds of beverages, and he can make something to drink with just a few ingredients, whether it is hot or cold.
He suddenly felt that one day he should show his parents a hand, he couldn't guess his father's reaction, he might be expressionless and moved in his heart, or he might laugh at him for wasting time, after working for so long, he was only a half-cook, In the future, I can only open a milk tea shop, but my mother will definitely smile with relief.
Looking at the tumbling fruit pieces in the pot, Gu Zhong frowned.
So nice, so homey.
In the past, he would not have thought of doing something for his parents. Starting from the so-called rebellious period, the older he got, the more twisted his relationship with his family was, but after this period ended, that kind of twisted relationship seemed to be irreversible. It's a long time ago.
Not everyone is like this, but there are not a few.It wasn't until he saw Qi Yue's home that he was a little shocked and a little chilled.Suddenly, he felt that his father, who was not very pleasing to the eye anyway, was so pleasing to the eye.
He looked back at Qi Yue.Qi Yue was leaning against the wall, tilting his head and looking at him.A thoughtful look on his face.
"It's almost ready." Gu Zhong said.
"Oh." Qi Yue responded.
"Don't stare at me, can I still drop the pot?" Gu Zhong said.
"Who knows?" Qi Yue said.
After 1 minute, Gu Zhong turned his head again, and Qi Yue still kept that posture and looked at him
After a while, he turned his head, and Qi Yue was still looking at him.A total of four times I looked back, and each time I could see Qi Yue's focused eyes resting on him, thoughtful.
"What are you looking at?" Gu Zhong asked, taking the brewed tea from the small electric stove.
"Just take a look." Qi Yue finally changed his posture, stretched his waist, put his legs on the chair next to him, and leaned lazily, "I see, you look just like that, and your figure is just the same. that way..."
"Which one?" Gu Zhong immediately asked, he never shied away from being concerned about his appearance, and admitted very sincerely that he was still in the age of a cock with hairy edges.
"It's just like that." Qi Yue said.
Gu Zhong looked at him, such an answer was very unsatisfactory.
Qi Yue looked at him for a while before continuing: "But it's still very comfortable to be together, so I'm willing to see more."
Combining the meaning of this sentence, Gu Zhong's understanding is that "your parts are not very good, you can only look at them when they are assembled, which is similar to boasting about your temperament."
He squirted to express his dissatisfaction, poured a cup of fruit tea and put it in front of Qi Yue and said, "You haven't praised anyone much in your life, have you?"
"Except you." Qi Yue took a sip of fruit tea, "I never praised anyone else."
"You just live too alone." Gu Zhong sat down, poured himself a cup of tea, put the rim of the cup against his chin, steamed himself with the heat, and squinted his eyes comfortably, "Sometimes I just I was thinking, if there were no gun towers, would there be no you."
"Can we not always come and go from the gun tower to the gun tower?" Qi Yue said.
"When did you stop calling me Chuaner..." Gu Zhong said, "I'll seriously call this place Pao."
"The gun tower is the gun tower." Qi Yue smiled.
Gu Zhong sighed helplessly.
"If one day, the blockhouse is gone." Qi Yue looked at him, "Will you still remember me?"
Gu Zhong was stunned.
"This place is rented, and there will always be a time when it expires, and one day it will be gone." Qi Yue said.
Gu Zhong didn't say anything for a long time.
Knowing Qi Yue for such a long time, in his cognition, Qi Yue is not a character who can say such a thing. From yesterday when he said he didn't want to be alone until now he said this, Gu Zhong felt that he It's like a different person.
A middle-aged old monster who doesn't know when he will change back at the beginning of New Year's Eve.
He sighed softly.
After all, something happened on this special day.
He didn't answer Qi Yue's question, and Qi Yue didn't seem to care about his answer.
Both of them stopped talking, and they drank two pots of fruit tea peacefully and peacefully in two hours on the first day of the new year when there was still sound of firecrackers and in this smashed blockhouse.
Qi Yue leaned back and yawned with a drawn out voice.
"I'm going back." Gu Zhong asked when he looked at it, and went directly to grandma's house right now, just in time for dinner.
"En." Qi Yue nodded, stood up, walked to the wine cabinet next to him, opened the drawer and took out an envelope, "Wait a minute."
"What?" Gu Zhong immediately asked.
Qi Yue took out a ten-yuan bill from the envelope, and put it in a red package.
"You are not." Gu Zhong sighed, "Didn't you give the lucky money?
"This is my family... My habit, why don't you choose a reason, overtime pay or..." Qi Yue flicked his fingers on the red envelope.
"Overtime pay." Gu Zhong hurriedly interrupted him, "I can be regarded as a high-spirited man."
Qi Yue smiled and handed him the red envelope, "The lucky star shines brightly."
Gu Zhong took the red envelope, put it in his pocket, and patted it lightly.
The gate of the blockhouse was useless because the windows were wide open, Qi Yue didn't lock the door, and drove him back to grandma's house.
"Thank you." Gu Zhong looked at the lit windows of grandma's house.
"I can't go to work in the second day of junior high school. Go play with your classmates these few days." Qi Yue said, "I'll go there on the sixth day of junior high school."
"En." Gu Zhong's voice was so low that he had to clear his throat and answer again, "En."
"You..." Qi Yue wanted to say something, but after looking up, he suddenly pushed him, "Hurry down!"
"Ah?" Gu Zhong was stunned, then looked up, jumped up as if he had been electrocuted, opened the car door and jumped down, took off, jumped over the flower bed, and rushed into the corridor.
When the firecrackers exploded in the air, Qi Yue's car turned around and drove away towards the door.
Gu Zhong was a little annoyed, he walked upstairs slowly and looked out from the corridor, trying to figure out who was so annoying, he lit firecrackers without looking down, so he didn't say goodbye to Qi Yue.
Although he didn't know why he needed to say goodbye after sending him home.
"Hey!" Grandma's loud voice rang out at the same time as the firecrackers stopped, "Are you back? Your mother said you didn't come back until fifteen!"
There were a lot of people standing in the corridor filled with gunpowder smoke.The firecrackers were actually set off by my own family.
"I can't spend half a month on summer vacation without going home." Gu Zhong said, "She thinks highly of me too..."
There are many people in the family, and there are not too many rules. When everyone is full, they gather around the table, everyone raises their glasses and shouts in disorder, and then they start eating.
There are not many children of Gu Zhong's generation, so grandma has been complaining that the population is not prosperous enough, but Gu Zhong doesn't feel it, anyway, the juniors are not uniform in age, and they can't play together. .
Watching TV for dinner and watching TV after dinner.
Playing mobile phones and chatting, I do this every year, just like a program.
But this year, Gu Zhong is more serious than ever.He listened carefully to what his grandma said, tasted every dish carefully, and drank two bowls of soup. When his mother asked him if he would go out at night, he answered "no" seriously.
"You don't have to accompany your girlfriend anymore?" Mom asked.
"No need..." Gu Zhong answered a little embarrassedly, but he couldn't say anything else, "Can you still stack one piece every day?"
It seemed that my mother still wanted to continue asking, but when Gu Zhong was about to pretend to drink water, stood up and walked away, his phone rang, he quickly took out his phone, and walked to the window of the restaurant while looking. request.
Qi Yue.
Gu Zhong quickly nodded, and then looked at the dialog box.
Qi Yue is like him, he uses his real name on WeChat, but he is looking for a place to express that he wants his name to be "Gu Zhong". It is not clear why Qi Yue uses his real name.
5 minutes passed, Qi Yue didn't say anything, Gu Zhong hesitated, and sent a "?", Qi Yue replied very quickly, and also replied with a "?"
"Is something wrong?
Gu Zhong had no choice but to reply
"It's okay, can't you add it?"
"..."
"I just added it, it's fine."
"Oh."
Gu Zhong was a little embarrassed, Qi Yue sent another message.
"I'm looking at your circle of friends who are full of dissatisfaction with life."
"I'll just make fun of it."
Qi Yue ignored him, he turned his phone around, and couldn't help but look at the circle of friends he had posted recently...
He hasn't complained too much in the past six months, and he seems to be a sunny and positive young man who is still a little bit old.As for dissatisfaction, there were quite a lot of them half a year ago. I was under a lot of pressure in high school, and my relationship with my father was not very comfortable... Qi Yue has turned so far, it really is too free.
Gu Zhong's circle of friends has never been divided into groups, and it doesn't matter who will see it, but now for the first time, he suddenly feels embarrassed.
When he thought of the daily life that he didn't care about, it was just shown in front of Qi Yue, and he had the urge to go back and delete all the content that was too "secondary".
In order to alleviate this embarrassment, he began to study Qi Yue's circle of friends.But I don't know if they are divided into groups or Qi Yue is just so boring. There are two or three Moments a month, and they are all eating and drinking in the store.Every time there are only a few pictures, and he doesn't even bother to match the text, which is very much his style.
Even things like recruitment information were done very casually. He took a photo of the torn cardboard he wrote and sent it out. It was not as formal as the advertisement with fake invoices.
Because there was very little content, Gu Zhong turned to a few months ago, and finally saw a different one. This person actually posted a small video.
I thought he couldn't even type words, but this short video is also accompanied by words.
"The newcomer has been practicing at the bar for almost a week, and he can't even froth the milk, stupid."
Gu Zhong sighed and wanted to laugh a little.I clicked on the video and saw my front legs bowed and my back legs stretched, looking like an enemy, staring at the steam vent, I couldn't help it, but I was happy.
He really didn't expect that he was such a virtue when he was serious.He liked it and commented on it.
"I didn't expect you to be such a boss."
"Is Zhongzhong in a relationship?" He heard his cousin's voice as soon as he finished posting.
What in the middle!
"Who knows him." Dad said disdainfully.
"It must be in love, do you still need to ask?" My cousin said while playing mahjong, "I didn't see him looking at his phone and laughing for 10 minutes?"
"Did I laugh?" Gu Zhong said.
"Yes." There were several replies from the side of the card table.
"You have really nice eyes." Gu Zhong said.
"Zhongzhong." Grandma pushed the reading glasses, "Are you talking about friends?"
"I didn't..." Gu Zhong didn't finish his sentence, when the sound of firecrackers sounded outside the window, he heaved a sigh of relief.
Amid the sound of firecrackers, everyone's attention returned to the poker table. Gu Zhong stood behind his mother and looked at it for a while, and couldn't help but turn on the phone again.
The high school classmate group chatted very lively, and everyone was making an appointment to go out for a party someday.
There were a few private chats asking him which day he would be free, and he replied "any day is fine", and then clicked on Qi Yue's chat box.
"Are you playing cards?"
When Qi Yue's sudden message popped up, he was actually taken aback.
"Watching a game of cards."
"Miaohui, you don't take it very seriously, do you?"
"I don't have a brain for playing cards, are you watching a movie?"
"Well, Silent Hill."
Gu Zhong wanted to give him a hug. Last night, he just watched it for the [-]th time. The next night, he was able to watch it again for the [-]th time.
Qi Yue probably didn't like to chat like this, so he ignored him after that.
He stared at the two mahjong tables, and couldn't find anything to talk about because of the noise, so he sat on the sofa and stared at the TV that he couldn't hear.
He fell asleep and had a dream.
It can't be said to be a dream, it should be just some fragments.
When his mother woke him up, there were not many episodes he could remember, but it was all about Qi Yue.
Ken met with Qi Yue who watched him make beef short ribs; Qi Yue who told him to get out asked Qi Yue who said "If one day, the turret is gone, will you still remember me?"
But he didn't have time to answer.When he was sitting in his father's car and going home, he looked at the lights outside, from dots to contiguous patches to dots of dots, this is really hard to answer.
If there is no such store, will Qi Yue still remember him? How many people have come and gone like this, it has only been a long time, and he can't remember the names of several of his high school classmates.
Qi Yue said that he went to work on the sixth day of junior high school and hadn't contacted him since the second day of junior high school.
He ate and drank with his classmates, visited his teachers, made a fuss, and went out early and returned late every day.It was not until the fifth day of the fifth day that he went to eat boiled mutton with some classmates. When he saw Qi Yue, he suddenly had a feeling that he hadn't seen him for a few days.
One month, three months, one year.
Almost, anyway, when he walked into the restaurant and saw Qi Yue sitting at the table with a few people and his eyes wandering, Gu Zhong suddenly stopped in his tracks.
"What's wrong?" The classmate behind him stuck his head on the back of his neck.
"No, saw me..." Gu Zhong quickly selected a friend among "my boss" and "my friend". "
"Would you like to say hello?" the classmate asked.
"No need." Gu Zhong looked at the people at the table. It seemed that they were the same group of people who went to see Qi Yue when he was hospitalized last time. Zhong still remembers the embarrassing scene in the ward.
Qi Yue didn't see him, he put his finger on his forehead, and listened to some friends talking absently.Gu Zhong turned to the beginning, followed the waiter inside with his classmates, and found a seat.
When he sat down, he sat on the chair with his face facing out, but when he looked up, he found that he couldn't see Qi Yue's table from this carefully chosen angle.
But after he started chatting and eating, he forgot about Qi Yue at that table, and ate meat while drinking and chatting.
It seems that if the blockhouse is gone, it is really possible that he will no longer remember that there was such a person.
"Actually, part-time work doesn't waste much time." Gu Zhong took a sip of the soup, and the food on the table was almost eaten, "But it may also be that our school has too few classes, and the magical technical secondary school is more formal than us..."
After Gu Zhong finished speaking, he realized that no one seemed to be listening to him, and they all looked directly in front of him.
He then raised his eyes and looked over.
Damn, this scene is still very cool.
Several social elders stood with their arms folded and looked at their table not far away, and a elder brother of the social elders was walking towards them with a clear goal.
And this big brother's big brother is still wearing a short-sleeved T-shirt, and the coat on his arm can't block his flowery arms.
Before the students had time to whisper, Qi Yue had already stood beside them and raised his chin at Gu Zhong.
The students immediately turned their heads to look at Gu Zhong neatly.
"My friend." Gu Zhong stood up, walked around the table and walked to Qi Yue, "Boss Qi, are you filming?"
Qi Yue looked back at the people behind him, laughed and said, "They are all old artists."
"I just saw you." Gu Zhong whispered, "But I saw so many people, so I didn't go over to say hello... How do you know I'm here?"
"I saw you when you came in." Qi Yue said.
"I thought you were in a daze." Gu Zhong was taken aback.
"Go ahead and eat." Qi Yue patted his arm, then tilted his head and nodded at a few classmates, lowering his voice, "I'm leaving, it's okay if I come to see you, just to remind you to go to work tomorrow."
"Oh." Gu Zhong nodded, "I remember."
After Qi Yue left with a group of his ex-brothers, Gu Zhong went back to the table and sat down, and spent half an hour explaining to his classmates that he didn't suddenly go to the society.
And made a very clear and concise positioning for Qi Yue's identity: "He is the owner of a coffee shop, and the beef short ribs he makes are very delicious."
But after he finished speaking, he regretted it.
After everyone had a lively discussion about going to the Paolou to eat beef short ribs, a classmate patted him on the shoulder and said, "We don't eat for free, we give money."
Gu Zhong sighed.
"You're idiots and you don't have to pay," he said. "I'm treating you."
During the Chinese New Year, everyone took a lot of New Year's money. Although according to the tradition of Gu Zhong's family, the New Year's money he got almost couldn't make up a whole number, but after all, he has been working part-time, and the boss's salary is not generous. A lot of money was paid.
What about overtime pay, hard work pay, severance pay, and New Year's allowance? There is no pressure on him to invite his classmates to eat beef short ribs at a cost price.
Now I want to discuss the cost price with Qi Yue, as well as the number of short ribs needed.He knew that Qi Yue only had two or three servings of fresh beef short ribs every day, was there too much?
Ordinarily, his current relationship with Qi Yue, if he wants to treat guests, it should be no problem to discuss it with Qi Yue, but he really has no idea.
Qi Yue's temperament is not very regular. He was cheerful one second, but the next second may hurt you to the ends of the earth. He may say: "Come on, I'm ready in advance, or I may say no, one day Just make two veal short ribs."
"That can't be helped. I usually make three servings a day. Is there too much?" Qi Yue leaned his arms on the bar, looked at him and replied very calmly.
Sure enough, although there is a slight difference between two copies and three copies, Gu Zhong still feels that his understanding of Qiyue is very deep.
"Then I'll invite them to eat something else." Gu Zhong said.
"What do you want to eat?" Qi Yue asked with great interest while flicking his phone.
"Anything other than short ribs." Gu Zhong said.
Although he could guess that Qi Yue was like this, Gu Zhong still had hope for him, and always felt that their relationship... shouldn't be like this.
Qi Yue's straightforward answer made him a little disappointed.Probably because my positioning of myself is not very accurate, tsk.
He turned and took the rag to clear the table.
The windows in the store have been restored to their original state, and all the broken tables and chairs have been repaired. It looks peaceful, and the tragedy of that night can hardly be seen.The only change is probably that there is still a set of tables and chairs that cannot be assembled, and Qi Yue has made up new ones.
However, there are very few customers today. Even if they go out to eat during the Chinese New Year, most people will not go to the cafe to sit. This morning, two tables of young couples came over to drink coffee. The desserts are not matched. I guess they have to save their stomachs for lunch. Big meal to go.
So apart from him as a handyman, no other employees are needed to come to work. He does all the work except the cook by himself, and he can also look at the street view when he has time.
After wiping the table in despair, he went back behind the bar counter to wash the rags, and just as he turned around, he was startled by Qi Yue who was squatting behind.
"Are there no chairs in the store?" He suppressed his voice.
Qi Yue turned his head and glanced at him, and continued to call, his voice was very low, but Gu Zhong still heard it.
"At least six servings," Qi Yue said, "just two or three days, any day... Well, important guests... Okay, thank you."
Qi Yue hung up the phone and turned around, looking at Gu Zhong: "What's the matter?"
Gu Zhong felt that he had mixed feelings at this moment, and he couldn't pick a suitable expression to face Qi Yue.
"With you, there will be six people, right?" Qi Yue asked.
"Ah." Gu Zhong responded.
"That's you, I wouldn't bother changing someone." Qi Yue stood up and stretched.
"Brother Qi." Gu Zhong was very sincere
Qi Yue actually brought out a set of pajamas to change into.
"Just sleep in a shack and change into pajamas." Gu Zhong said casually.
"I have slept in this shack for six years." Qi Yue took off his shirt, "Changing pajamas can give people the illusion of "home, so that they don't feel like they are wandering. "
Gu Zhong felt that what he said was a little inappropriate, and wanted to add a few words: "This is your shop, you live alone, this is home..."
He glanced at Qi Yue, but he didn't continue.
Qi Yue's back was full of scars, deep and shallow staggered, the longest and deepest one extending from the left shoulder to the right waist.
This is a posture to split directly with a knife.
"Do you want it? Pajamas." Qi Yue put on his pajamas and asked him.
Gu Zhong has never been in the habit of wearing pajamas. At home and in the dormitory, he would take off only a pair of underwear and then slip under the quilt. In unfamiliar places, he would only take off his coat.
But Qiyue here, whether he is familiar or not, he can't judge for a while.Qi Yue didn't wait for his answer, and directly took a set and threw it on his head.Light blue with white polka dots.
"So...cute." Gu Zhong shook his clothes.
"Same as you." Qi Yue took off his outer pants and put on pajama pants.
Gu Zhong glanced at his leg a few times, but there was no injury.
"You don't wear leggings when you fight?" He said, "You don't even have a scar."
"Whoever fights cut off his leg." Qi Yue sat down, pushed him in with the tacos, and lay down.
Gu Zhong changed into that cute polka-dot pajamas, and he could smell a very faint fragrance when he lay down.
I can't tell if it's on the clothes or on Qi Yue's body next to me.
"Are you okay if you don't go home?" Qi Yue asked.
"It's okay." Gu Zhong said, "I told my mother, even if I didn't tell, no one would notice.
"How come no one noticed." Qi Yue sighed softly, "Child, I don't understand anything."
Gu Zhong was silent for a while and turned his head: "Are you homesick?"
"If you get used to it, you won't think about it." Qi Yue reached out and turned off the light in the hut, "But... I will think about it today."
The door that closed without hesitation flashed in the darkness in front of Gu Zhong.
"Every year..." Qi Yue said, "I'm more hypocritical today, thinking a lot, and maybe talking a lot."
"You can say what you want," Gu Zhong said, "I'm willing to listen."
"It's over." Qi Yue smiled.
"Are you going to wait until next year?" Gu Zhong asked.
"I don't know." Qi Yue thought for a while, "I probably haven't met anyone I can talk to for a long time."
"An hour ago, I thought I was stupid." Gu Zhong said.
"I'm so hungry that I can't choose what to eat." Qi Yue said.
When hearing Qi Yue's words.My heart was as calm as water.Gu Zhong applauded for himself, he smiled and said: "I am also very tasty when I am not hungry."
Qi Yue turned his head in the dark.Gu Zhong suddenly felt a little subtle, maybe he was too relaxed, and said such embarrassing words casually.
Of course, maybe it was something else.
Qi Yue's breath swept over his earlobe, and he turned his head back.Neither of them spoke anymore, Gu Zhong closed his eyes, feeling sleepy, this night actually made him a little tired.
But the feeling of fatigue at this moment made him feel at ease and comfortable in a daze.
"Have a chance to taste if it's really delicious." Qi Yue said in a low voice.
Gu Zhong was only stunned for a second in shock, and fell asleep before he could speak.
It was almost dawn when I fell asleep, which wasn't a big deal, but it was quite frustrating to be woken up before dawn.
But when Gu Zhong found out in a daze that it was Qi Yue's sleep talking that woke him up, he immediately forgot about his depression, he was stunned for a moment, curiously trying to hear what he said.
After hearing it clearly, I couldn't listen anymore.
"Go quickly." Qi Yue kept saying, whether it was fast or slow, light or heavy, clear or vague, but there were only these two words.
Hearing that, people's hearts suddenly tugged.
"Hey, wake up." Gu Zhong gently pushed him, the hut has no windows, and Qi Yue's state cannot be seen clearly even if the lights are turned off, he said softly, "Are you having a nightmare?"
Qi Yue didn't respond, his breathing became a little rough, and it seemed a little difficult.
"Come on," he said.
"Brother Qi," Gu Zhong added some strength and pushed him again, "Qi Yue, Qi Yue?"
After Qi Yue paused for breath, he returned to the previous chaos.
Gu Zhong sat up, walked over Qi Yue on his stomach, reached out to touch the switch, and turned on the light.
According to his understanding, dreaming is not deep sleep, but Qi Yue seems to be unable to wake up, frowning, his face is covered with thin beads of sweat.
This person will not only be trapped in memories, but also in dreams.
Gu Zhong only felt that the last bit of drowsiness left in him was completely dispelled by his miraculous imagination. He slapped Qi Yue's face and shouted: "Qi Yue!"
In the early years, too many people were hacked and killed, and the sequelae were probably that they reacted too quickly.
Qi Yue's eyes just opened a slit, and his arms were raised before he could see who the head above him was.
When Gu Zhong was flipped onto the corn husk beside him, he couldn't help cursing: "You are a wolf!"
"Chuan'er?" Qi Yue had a sleepy nasal voice, full of surprise.
"Chuan'er, you uncle!" Gu Zhong said.
"What's the matter, sir?" Qi Yue asked.
"Are you dreaming?" Gu Zhong sighed.
Qi Yue didn't answer right away, and after a while reached out and turned off the light, he replied in a low voice: "En."
"Nightmare?" Gu Zhong also lowered his voice.
"Yes." Qi Yue replied honestly.
"Yes..." Gu Zhong turned his head, "You keep saying 'run'.
"Ah." Qi Yue smiled softly, "Really?"
"In the future..." Some strange emotions surged in Gu Zhongzhong, and he couldn't tell what it was, "If you tell me to run, I will definitely run."
Qi Yue seemed to be stunned, turned over after a few seconds, hugged him, and said with a slight trembling voice when he spoke again: "Good boy."
Gu Zhong froze, not knowing how to answer.
"I'm not always like this, just...these few days." Qi Yue said.
Gu Zhong continued to freeze.
"Thank you." Qi Yue said again.
"You're welcome." Gu Zhong said.
The conversation can't go on.It's not because the atmosphere is a bit weird, but because I'm too sleepy. When I'm sleepy, I'm woken up. After being nervous, I breathe a sigh of relief, and the drowsiness strikes me even more uncontrollably.
Gu Zhong fell asleep before Qi Yue let go of his arms.
When I wake up, the hut is still dim, without lights, this room will make people lose the concept of time.
Living here for a long time is not very good.Will be like Qi Yue.
He yawned and found that Qi Yue was no longer in the room.I changed clothes and walked out of the hut. It was a sunny day outside. I took out my phone and took a look. It was already past one o'clock in the noon.
There was a message from his mother on the phone, asking him if he would go home tonight.
Can't go home.Are you asking if you will go home for dinner, or if you will go home to sleep?
Gu Zhong replied to his mother while going downstairs: I don't know yet.
Mom didn't pay attention to him anymore, she probably needed to catch up on sleep.
Ordinary people still show face when seeking revenge, smashing only on the first floor, maybe because they are afraid that there will be an ambush on the second floor.
The feeling was not obvious last night, and now is the best time for the sun in the afternoon, the sunlight coming in from the empty window frame illuminated the mess, making it look particularly lonely and very cold.
Gu Zhong picked out the complete tables and chairs from the fallen tables and chairs and put them back, and packed the broken ones outside the back door, then took the broom and started sweeping the floor.
Qi Yue didn't know what he was busy with in the back kitchen, and he didn't come out when he heard any movement.
It wasn't until Gu Zhong finished tidying up the first floor that he poked his head out from the window of the back kitchen to have a look and said, "I'll give you some bonus, award for dedication and dedication."
"What should we do these two days?" Gu Zhong looked at him while supporting the broom.
"It's closed." Qi Yue said, "You go home, I'll sleep."
"Oh." Gu Zhong responded.
A little surprised by the disappointment in his voice.
"I'll call you again when it reopens." Qi Yue said.
"Does your place reopen many times every year?" Gu Zhong said, "Your nickname is Daji, right?"
Qi Yue didn't speak, but looked at him and curled his lips.
"How do you know?" Qi Yue said.
Gu Zhong looked at the meaningful smile on the corner of his mouth, stretched out his finger and pointed at him. "You cow."
"I found that your temper is much better now." Qi Yue said, "You are getting more and more forbidden."
"Are you satisfied? Boss." Gu Zhong took a rag and began to wipe the table. Even though the windows were still empty and the tables and chairs were not in order, he still tried his best to make the shop look less dilapidated.
"I wish I had met you a few years earlier." Qi Yue said
"Don't." Gu Zhong said, "A few years ago, I rebuked you and probably made you useless."
Qi Yue laughed for a while, then turned around and went back to work.
The current Qi Yue is quite good, lazy and calm, his eyes are calm when looking at everything, which makes people feel safe.Gu Zhong likes to stay with him, chatting, watching movies, occasionally being teased speechless: guessing his past from time to time, plain and novel.
After tidying up, Qi Yue came out of the back kitchen with a tray, a pizza and two plates of pasta, which smelled delicious.
"Let's go upstairs to eat, there's no room for people on the first floor." Qi Yue said.
Gu Zhong thought about it, made two more cups of lemon oak tea, and took them up to the second floor.
"Let's eat." Qi Yue said.
Sleeping is a strange thing. It is obviously a rest, but it is like physical work. After sleeping for a long time, you will feel hungry and panic.Gu Zhong took the plate, lowered his head and started eating the noodles.Qi Yue was scratching with his mobile phone, and didn't eat the noodles or pizza.
"You don't..." Gu Zhong didn't finish asking, Qi Yue held the phone to his ear and said "Hello".
He had to shut up and keep eating.
"Happy New Year, Uncle Li." Qi Yue said, took a piece of pizza and put it on his plate, "When you have time, help me arrange two people to come over to install the glass... The ones on the first floor are all broken..."
This Uncle Li probably repaired the windows of the blockhouse all the year round, and he was not at all surprised that the glass in the "broken window professional store" was broken again.
Although the workers are on holiday for Chinese New Year, and there is no work until the sixth day of junior high school, he still finds a way to arrange it, and comes to repair it in the third junior high school.
After Qi Yue finished the phone call, he began to eat slowly, as if he had no appetite.On the contrary, he took the two cups of lemon tea and drank them all, thinking that Gu Zhong didn't add some cream to him.
Are you not hungry?" Gu Zhong asked.
"Yeah." Qi Yue pushed the pizza in front of him, "Eat it all"
Gu Zhong didn't ask too much, and took it all away.Then stared at the TV in a daze.
The TV on the first floor was also smashed. Although the first floor is too cold for people to live in, compared with the "movies" that haven't been updated in the cabin on the third floor for several years, he originally wanted to watch TV against the cold of.
"Go back." Qi Yue said.
"En." Gu Zhong leaned against the bar and responded.
Qi Yue tugged at the collar of his coat and wandered around the first floor, wondering if he was checking for damage.
After turning around, he returned to the bar, looked at Gu Zhong and said, "You can go back, there's nothing else to do."
"En." Gu Zhong cleared his throat and nodded.
Qi Yue stuffed his hands into his pockets, went out through the back door, looked at the broken tables and chairs behind him, lit a cigarette, and went back to the bar.
"you……"
"Yeah." Gu Zhong nodded, glanced at the time on the phone, but still didn't move.
"Oh." Qi Yue seemed to recover, and took out the car key from his pocket, "I'll see you off, I can't get the car right now."
Gu Zhong stared at the phone: "I'll leave later."
Qi Yue didn't speak any more, and looked at him in the cold wind blowing in from the window.Gu Zhong never took his eyes off his hands
Looking at the computer screen, not knowing what he was scrolling, he finally raised his eyes to look at Qi Yue.
The cigarette dangling from his mouth has been blown out by the wind, and he is still holding it.
"The main reason is that it's not interesting for me to go back now." Gu Zhong reached out and took off half of the cigarette butt and threw it into the trash can, then walked upstairs, "My dad probably isn't at home, my mom is sleeping, and then I went to grandma's house at night For dinner...we will go to grandma's house to eat until the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, it's too noisy..."
Gu Zhong went up the stairs very quickly, bouncing around, as if Qi Yue would catch up with him if he walked slower, and dragged him to send him home.
Qi Yue followed upstairs, and the two sat in the corner on the second floor.
"Let's make a pot of fruit tea." Qi Yue said after sitting silly for almost half an hour.
"Yeah." Gu Zhong stood up.
There is an electric kettle on the second floor. He went to the refrigerator on the first floor to find ingredients for fruit tea, and then returned to the second floor to start making tea.Ever since he became a handyman in the blockhouse, he is good at making all kinds of beverages, and he can make something to drink with just a few ingredients, whether it is hot or cold.
He suddenly felt that one day he should show his parents a hand, he couldn't guess his father's reaction, he might be expressionless and moved in his heart, or he might laugh at him for wasting time, after working for so long, he was only a half-cook, In the future, I can only open a milk tea shop, but my mother will definitely smile with relief.
Looking at the tumbling fruit pieces in the pot, Gu Zhong frowned.
So nice, so homey.
In the past, he would not have thought of doing something for his parents. Starting from the so-called rebellious period, the older he got, the more twisted his relationship with his family was, but after this period ended, that kind of twisted relationship seemed to be irreversible. It's a long time ago.
Not everyone is like this, but there are not a few.It wasn't until he saw Qi Yue's home that he was a little shocked and a little chilled.Suddenly, he felt that his father, who was not very pleasing to the eye anyway, was so pleasing to the eye.
He looked back at Qi Yue.Qi Yue was leaning against the wall, tilting his head and looking at him.A thoughtful look on his face.
"It's almost ready." Gu Zhong said.
"Oh." Qi Yue responded.
"Don't stare at me, can I still drop the pot?" Gu Zhong said.
"Who knows?" Qi Yue said.
After 1 minute, Gu Zhong turned his head again, and Qi Yue still kept that posture and looked at him
After a while, he turned his head, and Qi Yue was still looking at him.A total of four times I looked back, and each time I could see Qi Yue's focused eyes resting on him, thoughtful.
"What are you looking at?" Gu Zhong asked, taking the brewed tea from the small electric stove.
"Just take a look." Qi Yue finally changed his posture, stretched his waist, put his legs on the chair next to him, and leaned lazily, "I see, you look just like that, and your figure is just the same. that way..."
"Which one?" Gu Zhong immediately asked, he never shied away from being concerned about his appearance, and admitted very sincerely that he was still in the age of a cock with hairy edges.
"It's just like that." Qi Yue said.
Gu Zhong looked at him, such an answer was very unsatisfactory.
Qi Yue looked at him for a while before continuing: "But it's still very comfortable to be together, so I'm willing to see more."
Combining the meaning of this sentence, Gu Zhong's understanding is that "your parts are not very good, you can only look at them when they are assembled, which is similar to boasting about your temperament."
He squirted to express his dissatisfaction, poured a cup of fruit tea and put it in front of Qi Yue and said, "You haven't praised anyone much in your life, have you?"
"Except you." Qi Yue took a sip of fruit tea, "I never praised anyone else."
"You just live too alone." Gu Zhong sat down, poured himself a cup of tea, put the rim of the cup against his chin, steamed himself with the heat, and squinted his eyes comfortably, "Sometimes I just I was thinking, if there were no gun towers, would there be no you."
"Can we not always come and go from the gun tower to the gun tower?" Qi Yue said.
"When did you stop calling me Chuaner..." Gu Zhong said, "I'll seriously call this place Pao."
"The gun tower is the gun tower." Qi Yue smiled.
Gu Zhong sighed helplessly.
"If one day, the blockhouse is gone." Qi Yue looked at him, "Will you still remember me?"
Gu Zhong was stunned.
"This place is rented, and there will always be a time when it expires, and one day it will be gone." Qi Yue said.
Gu Zhong didn't say anything for a long time.
Knowing Qi Yue for such a long time, in his cognition, Qi Yue is not a character who can say such a thing. From yesterday when he said he didn't want to be alone until now he said this, Gu Zhong felt that he It's like a different person.
A middle-aged old monster who doesn't know when he will change back at the beginning of New Year's Eve.
He sighed softly.
After all, something happened on this special day.
He didn't answer Qi Yue's question, and Qi Yue didn't seem to care about his answer.
Both of them stopped talking, and they drank two pots of fruit tea peacefully and peacefully in two hours on the first day of the new year when there was still sound of firecrackers and in this smashed blockhouse.
Qi Yue leaned back and yawned with a drawn out voice.
"I'm going back." Gu Zhong asked when he looked at it, and went directly to grandma's house right now, just in time for dinner.
"En." Qi Yue nodded, stood up, walked to the wine cabinet next to him, opened the drawer and took out an envelope, "Wait a minute."
"What?" Gu Zhong immediately asked.
Qi Yue took out a ten-yuan bill from the envelope, and put it in a red package.
"You are not." Gu Zhong sighed, "Didn't you give the lucky money?
"This is my family... My habit, why don't you choose a reason, overtime pay or..." Qi Yue flicked his fingers on the red envelope.
"Overtime pay." Gu Zhong hurriedly interrupted him, "I can be regarded as a high-spirited man."
Qi Yue smiled and handed him the red envelope, "The lucky star shines brightly."
Gu Zhong took the red envelope, put it in his pocket, and patted it lightly.
The gate of the blockhouse was useless because the windows were wide open, Qi Yue didn't lock the door, and drove him back to grandma's house.
"Thank you." Gu Zhong looked at the lit windows of grandma's house.
"I can't go to work in the second day of junior high school. Go play with your classmates these few days." Qi Yue said, "I'll go there on the sixth day of junior high school."
"En." Gu Zhong's voice was so low that he had to clear his throat and answer again, "En."
"You..." Qi Yue wanted to say something, but after looking up, he suddenly pushed him, "Hurry down!"
"Ah?" Gu Zhong was stunned, then looked up, jumped up as if he had been electrocuted, opened the car door and jumped down, took off, jumped over the flower bed, and rushed into the corridor.
When the firecrackers exploded in the air, Qi Yue's car turned around and drove away towards the door.
Gu Zhong was a little annoyed, he walked upstairs slowly and looked out from the corridor, trying to figure out who was so annoying, he lit firecrackers without looking down, so he didn't say goodbye to Qi Yue.
Although he didn't know why he needed to say goodbye after sending him home.
"Hey!" Grandma's loud voice rang out at the same time as the firecrackers stopped, "Are you back? Your mother said you didn't come back until fifteen!"
There were a lot of people standing in the corridor filled with gunpowder smoke.The firecrackers were actually set off by my own family.
"I can't spend half a month on summer vacation without going home." Gu Zhong said, "She thinks highly of me too..."
There are many people in the family, and there are not too many rules. When everyone is full, they gather around the table, everyone raises their glasses and shouts in disorder, and then they start eating.
There are not many children of Gu Zhong's generation, so grandma has been complaining that the population is not prosperous enough, but Gu Zhong doesn't feel it, anyway, the juniors are not uniform in age, and they can't play together. .
Watching TV for dinner and watching TV after dinner.
Playing mobile phones and chatting, I do this every year, just like a program.
But this year, Gu Zhong is more serious than ever.He listened carefully to what his grandma said, tasted every dish carefully, and drank two bowls of soup. When his mother asked him if he would go out at night, he answered "no" seriously.
"You don't have to accompany your girlfriend anymore?" Mom asked.
"No need..." Gu Zhong answered a little embarrassedly, but he couldn't say anything else, "Can you still stack one piece every day?"
It seemed that my mother still wanted to continue asking, but when Gu Zhong was about to pretend to drink water, stood up and walked away, his phone rang, he quickly took out his phone, and walked to the window of the restaurant while looking. request.
Qi Yue.
Gu Zhong quickly nodded, and then looked at the dialog box.
Qi Yue is like him, he uses his real name on WeChat, but he is looking for a place to express that he wants his name to be "Gu Zhong". It is not clear why Qi Yue uses his real name.
5 minutes passed, Qi Yue didn't say anything, Gu Zhong hesitated, and sent a "?", Qi Yue replied very quickly, and also replied with a "?"
"Is something wrong?
Gu Zhong had no choice but to reply
"It's okay, can't you add it?"
"..."
"I just added it, it's fine."
"Oh."
Gu Zhong was a little embarrassed, Qi Yue sent another message.
"I'm looking at your circle of friends who are full of dissatisfaction with life."
"I'll just make fun of it."
Qi Yue ignored him, he turned his phone around, and couldn't help but look at the circle of friends he had posted recently...
He hasn't complained too much in the past six months, and he seems to be a sunny and positive young man who is still a little bit old.As for dissatisfaction, there were quite a lot of them half a year ago. I was under a lot of pressure in high school, and my relationship with my father was not very comfortable... Qi Yue has turned so far, it really is too free.
Gu Zhong's circle of friends has never been divided into groups, and it doesn't matter who will see it, but now for the first time, he suddenly feels embarrassed.
When he thought of the daily life that he didn't care about, it was just shown in front of Qi Yue, and he had the urge to go back and delete all the content that was too "secondary".
In order to alleviate this embarrassment, he began to study Qi Yue's circle of friends.But I don't know if they are divided into groups or Qi Yue is just so boring. There are two or three Moments a month, and they are all eating and drinking in the store.Every time there are only a few pictures, and he doesn't even bother to match the text, which is very much his style.
Even things like recruitment information were done very casually. He took a photo of the torn cardboard he wrote and sent it out. It was not as formal as the advertisement with fake invoices.
Because there was very little content, Gu Zhong turned to a few months ago, and finally saw a different one. This person actually posted a small video.
I thought he couldn't even type words, but this short video is also accompanied by words.
"The newcomer has been practicing at the bar for almost a week, and he can't even froth the milk, stupid."
Gu Zhong sighed and wanted to laugh a little.I clicked on the video and saw my front legs bowed and my back legs stretched, looking like an enemy, staring at the steam vent, I couldn't help it, but I was happy.
He really didn't expect that he was such a virtue when he was serious.He liked it and commented on it.
"I didn't expect you to be such a boss."
"Is Zhongzhong in a relationship?" He heard his cousin's voice as soon as he finished posting.
What in the middle!
"Who knows him." Dad said disdainfully.
"It must be in love, do you still need to ask?" My cousin said while playing mahjong, "I didn't see him looking at his phone and laughing for 10 minutes?"
"Did I laugh?" Gu Zhong said.
"Yes." There were several replies from the side of the card table.
"You have really nice eyes." Gu Zhong said.
"Zhongzhong." Grandma pushed the reading glasses, "Are you talking about friends?"
"I didn't..." Gu Zhong didn't finish his sentence, when the sound of firecrackers sounded outside the window, he heaved a sigh of relief.
Amid the sound of firecrackers, everyone's attention returned to the poker table. Gu Zhong stood behind his mother and looked at it for a while, and couldn't help but turn on the phone again.
The high school classmate group chatted very lively, and everyone was making an appointment to go out for a party someday.
There were a few private chats asking him which day he would be free, and he replied "any day is fine", and then clicked on Qi Yue's chat box.
"Are you playing cards?"
When Qi Yue's sudden message popped up, he was actually taken aback.
"Watching a game of cards."
"Miaohui, you don't take it very seriously, do you?"
"I don't have a brain for playing cards, are you watching a movie?"
"Well, Silent Hill."
Gu Zhong wanted to give him a hug. Last night, he just watched it for the [-]th time. The next night, he was able to watch it again for the [-]th time.
Qi Yue probably didn't like to chat like this, so he ignored him after that.
He stared at the two mahjong tables, and couldn't find anything to talk about because of the noise, so he sat on the sofa and stared at the TV that he couldn't hear.
He fell asleep and had a dream.
It can't be said to be a dream, it should be just some fragments.
When his mother woke him up, there were not many episodes he could remember, but it was all about Qi Yue.
Ken met with Qi Yue who watched him make beef short ribs; Qi Yue who told him to get out asked Qi Yue who said "If one day, the turret is gone, will you still remember me?"
But he didn't have time to answer.When he was sitting in his father's car and going home, he looked at the lights outside, from dots to contiguous patches to dots of dots, this is really hard to answer.
If there is no such store, will Qi Yue still remember him? How many people have come and gone like this, it has only been a long time, and he can't remember the names of several of his high school classmates.
Qi Yue said that he went to work on the sixth day of junior high school and hadn't contacted him since the second day of junior high school.
He ate and drank with his classmates, visited his teachers, made a fuss, and went out early and returned late every day.It was not until the fifth day of the fifth day that he went to eat boiled mutton with some classmates. When he saw Qi Yue, he suddenly had a feeling that he hadn't seen him for a few days.
One month, three months, one year.
Almost, anyway, when he walked into the restaurant and saw Qi Yue sitting at the table with a few people and his eyes wandering, Gu Zhong suddenly stopped in his tracks.
"What's wrong?" The classmate behind him stuck his head on the back of his neck.
"No, saw me..." Gu Zhong quickly selected a friend among "my boss" and "my friend". "
"Would you like to say hello?" the classmate asked.
"No need." Gu Zhong looked at the people at the table. It seemed that they were the same group of people who went to see Qi Yue when he was hospitalized last time. Zhong still remembers the embarrassing scene in the ward.
Qi Yue didn't see him, he put his finger on his forehead, and listened to some friends talking absently.Gu Zhong turned to the beginning, followed the waiter inside with his classmates, and found a seat.
When he sat down, he sat on the chair with his face facing out, but when he looked up, he found that he couldn't see Qi Yue's table from this carefully chosen angle.
But after he started chatting and eating, he forgot about Qi Yue at that table, and ate meat while drinking and chatting.
It seems that if the blockhouse is gone, it is really possible that he will no longer remember that there was such a person.
"Actually, part-time work doesn't waste much time." Gu Zhong took a sip of the soup, and the food on the table was almost eaten, "But it may also be that our school has too few classes, and the magical technical secondary school is more formal than us..."
After Gu Zhong finished speaking, he realized that no one seemed to be listening to him, and they all looked directly in front of him.
He then raised his eyes and looked over.
Damn, this scene is still very cool.
Several social elders stood with their arms folded and looked at their table not far away, and a elder brother of the social elders was walking towards them with a clear goal.
And this big brother's big brother is still wearing a short-sleeved T-shirt, and the coat on his arm can't block his flowery arms.
Before the students had time to whisper, Qi Yue had already stood beside them and raised his chin at Gu Zhong.
The students immediately turned their heads to look at Gu Zhong neatly.
"My friend." Gu Zhong stood up, walked around the table and walked to Qi Yue, "Boss Qi, are you filming?"
Qi Yue looked back at the people behind him, laughed and said, "They are all old artists."
"I just saw you." Gu Zhong whispered, "But I saw so many people, so I didn't go over to say hello... How do you know I'm here?"
"I saw you when you came in." Qi Yue said.
"I thought you were in a daze." Gu Zhong was taken aback.
"Go ahead and eat." Qi Yue patted his arm, then tilted his head and nodded at a few classmates, lowering his voice, "I'm leaving, it's okay if I come to see you, just to remind you to go to work tomorrow."
"Oh." Gu Zhong nodded, "I remember."
After Qi Yue left with a group of his ex-brothers, Gu Zhong went back to the table and sat down, and spent half an hour explaining to his classmates that he didn't suddenly go to the society.
And made a very clear and concise positioning for Qi Yue's identity: "He is the owner of a coffee shop, and the beef short ribs he makes are very delicious."
But after he finished speaking, he regretted it.
After everyone had a lively discussion about going to the Paolou to eat beef short ribs, a classmate patted him on the shoulder and said, "We don't eat for free, we give money."
Gu Zhong sighed.
"You're idiots and you don't have to pay," he said. "I'm treating you."
During the Chinese New Year, everyone took a lot of New Year's money. Although according to the tradition of Gu Zhong's family, the New Year's money he got almost couldn't make up a whole number, but after all, he has been working part-time, and the boss's salary is not generous. A lot of money was paid.
What about overtime pay, hard work pay, severance pay, and New Year's allowance? There is no pressure on him to invite his classmates to eat beef short ribs at a cost price.
Now I want to discuss the cost price with Qi Yue, as well as the number of short ribs needed.He knew that Qi Yue only had two or three servings of fresh beef short ribs every day, was there too much?
Ordinarily, his current relationship with Qi Yue, if he wants to treat guests, it should be no problem to discuss it with Qi Yue, but he really has no idea.
Qi Yue's temperament is not very regular. He was cheerful one second, but the next second may hurt you to the ends of the earth. He may say: "Come on, I'm ready in advance, or I may say no, one day Just make two veal short ribs."
"That can't be helped. I usually make three servings a day. Is there too much?" Qi Yue leaned his arms on the bar, looked at him and replied very calmly.
Sure enough, although there is a slight difference between two copies and three copies, Gu Zhong still feels that his understanding of Qiyue is very deep.
"Then I'll invite them to eat something else." Gu Zhong said.
"What do you want to eat?" Qi Yue asked with great interest while flicking his phone.
"Anything other than short ribs." Gu Zhong said.
Although he could guess that Qi Yue was like this, Gu Zhong still had hope for him, and always felt that their relationship... shouldn't be like this.
Qi Yue's straightforward answer made him a little disappointed.Probably because my positioning of myself is not very accurate, tsk.
He turned and took the rag to clear the table.
The windows in the store have been restored to their original state, and all the broken tables and chairs have been repaired. It looks peaceful, and the tragedy of that night can hardly be seen.The only change is probably that there is still a set of tables and chairs that cannot be assembled, and Qi Yue has made up new ones.
However, there are very few customers today. Even if they go out to eat during the Chinese New Year, most people will not go to the cafe to sit. This morning, two tables of young couples came over to drink coffee. The desserts are not matched. I guess they have to save their stomachs for lunch. Big meal to go.
So apart from him as a handyman, no other employees are needed to come to work. He does all the work except the cook by himself, and he can also look at the street view when he has time.
After wiping the table in despair, he went back behind the bar counter to wash the rags, and just as he turned around, he was startled by Qi Yue who was squatting behind.
"Are there no chairs in the store?" He suppressed his voice.
Qi Yue turned his head and glanced at him, and continued to call, his voice was very low, but Gu Zhong still heard it.
"At least six servings," Qi Yue said, "just two or three days, any day... Well, important guests... Okay, thank you."
Qi Yue hung up the phone and turned around, looking at Gu Zhong: "What's the matter?"
Gu Zhong felt that he had mixed feelings at this moment, and he couldn't pick a suitable expression to face Qi Yue.
"With you, there will be six people, right?" Qi Yue asked.
"Ah." Gu Zhong responded.
"That's you, I wouldn't bother changing someone." Qi Yue stood up and stretched.
"Brother Qi." Gu Zhong was very sincere
