it's dark, coax me

From late autumn to winter seems to be only in a short moment.

The snow fell extra early this year.

Zhou Xing originally planned to go out for morning exercises in the morning. Seeing that a layer of snow had fallen outside, he began to clean the snow around the wooden house.

When Zhou Xing cleared the surrounding roads and returned to the room, Gu Xiu just woke up, his eyes still a little blurred.

When Gu Xiu saw Zhou Xing, he extended his hand to him.

Zhou Xing didn't hold Gu Xiu's hand, but tapped on Gu Xiu's palm with one finger, and said with a smile, "I'm cold."

Gu Xiu felt the cold touch from his hand, "Why is it so cold?"

"It's snowing outside."

Gu Xiu froze for a moment, Zhou Xing opened the curtains and let Gu Xiu look outside.

Heavy snow covered the entire ground, and there was a piece of white everywhere.

Seeing this, Gu Xiu was a little excited, the first snow in winter...

After the two had breakfast, Gu Xiu suggested to go outside to build a snowman.

Zhou Xing put a scarf and gloves on Gu Xiu, and didn't allow him to go out until he was wrapped up like a polar bear.

However, Gu Xiu didn't care about these things when he was playing. It was always inconvenient to build a snowman with gloves on, so he took off the gloves in no time.

Zhou Xing had no choice but to help him with it.

Soon a little snowman with a height of half a person was piled up.

Zhou Xing saw that Gu Xiu's hands were already a little red from the cold, and immediately pulled Gu Xiu back to the wooden house.

Gu Xiu smiled and stretched his hands into Zhou Xing's sweater to keep warm.

However, Zhou Xing directly lifted his underwear, and pressed his hand on his hot chest.

Gu Xiu's throat rolled, Zhou Xing always seemed to be like this, he had no reservations about him, and gave him the best.

Gu Xiu's birthday was in winter, and soon he received a birthday present from Zhou Xing.

A bouquet of roses, a watch and...a stuffed pig.

Gu Xiu took the stuffed pig and was momentarily at a loss, "This is it?"

"I hope you can relax a little bit."

Gu Xiu:?

"Are you trying to say that you have a big heart and a fat body?"

Zhou Xing smiled.

Gu Xiu couldn't help throwing the pig at him.

The place Zhou Xing chose to hold Gu Xiu's birthday party was the hot spring they had visited before.

Gu Xiu's body was somewhat weak, Zhou Xing didn't dare to let Gu Xiu go outside, and only chose an indoor hot spring for Gu Xiu.

Soaking in hot springs in winter is really comfortable.

At this moment, Zheng Yan and the others hadn't come over yet, and there were only the two of them in the indoor hot spring pool, so they didn't feel restrained.

Zhou Xing let Gu Xiu sit on his lap, he hugged Gu Xiu, and the two hugged each other in the water.

Gu Xiu said softly: "I've been doing well in the past few months, and I haven't gotten sick again. I want to stop taking the medicine."

Everyone will have a day when they want to choose to stop taking drugs.

It is unpredictable whether the situation will get better or worse after stopping the drug.

Gu Xiu didn't want the medicine to accompany him for the rest of his life, he would stop taking the medicine one day.

Zhou Xing stroked Gu Xiu's back lightly, "Okay, it's all up to you, then you promise me that if you feel uncomfortable, you will tell me in time."

"Okay." Gu Xiu thought for a while and continued, "Actually, you don't need to be too nervous. The medicine will not be stopped all at once, but gradually reduced bit by bit. The whole process may last for half a year or longer. If something goes wrong during the reduction, the doctor will stop the whole process."

Zhou Xing responded.

Gu Xiu felt that Zhou Xing seemed a little nervous, so he deliberately changed the subject, pushed Zhou Xing's hip, and asked with a smile, "Would you like to try doing it in water?"

……

After his birthday, Gu Xiu added another year, reaching the threshold of 29 years old, and he will be approaching 30 soon.

Gu Xiu smiled and listened to the document that Zhou Xing had proofread for him.

Now that his career has restarted and his relationship is stable, it should be considered a double harvest in career and love, and he barely meets the standard of standing at [-].

As for Zhou Xing, Gu Xiu looked at Zhou Xing who was sitting beside him. Zhou Xing was a much more mature and calm person than him.

Zhou Xing seems to have completed the process of growing up early...

The bell rang suddenly, interrupting Gu Xiu's thoughts.

Zhou Xing took out his mobile phone, glanced at it and said, "I'll answer the call."

Zhou Xing answered the phone for 10 minutes. Gu Xiu looked through the window at Zhou Xing who was standing outside the window smoking a cigarette while answering the phone.

The expression on Zhou Xing's face was somewhat dull. After he hung up the phone, he smoked two more cigarettes before returning to the hall and sitting on the sofa.

Gu Xiu kicked him.

Zhou Xing moved his feet back.

Like a child, Gu Xiu deliberately continued to move his foot to kick him.

Zhou Xing kicked Gu Xiu with his foot, signaling him to stop making trouble.

Gu Xiu still continued.

The two of them kicked each other down there like children. After a while, seeing that Zhou Xing's face was not as bad as before, Gu Xiu stopped.

"What happened?" Gu Xiu asked.

"fine."

After Zhou Xing finished speaking, he felt that he had nothing to hide from Gu Xiu, so he changed his words: "My aunt's phone number."

Gu Xiu thought about what Zhou Xing told him before, and he could probably guess what kind of person Aunt Zhou Xing was from Zhou Xing's words, so he asked, "Ask you for money?"

"Ah."

"How much? If not enough, I have it here."

"No, they raised me up, and it is right to repay their kindness. I never thought of leaving them alone, but sometimes I feel a little chilled."

Gu Xiu took Zhou Xing's hand, "Human nature is greedy, not everyone knows how to be satisfied and grateful, you have done enough for them, there is no need to satisfy every unreasonable request of them, as long as you can ask your heart Just be ashamed."

Zhou Xinghui held Gu Xiu, "You are right."

Zhou Xing has been with his uncle's family for so many years. It's not that he doesn't know how to deal with the matter at hand, but sometimes he still feels a little stuffy in his chest, as if holding his breath. Hearing Gu Xiu comfort him like this, he I feel a little better.

Zhou Xing looked at Gu Xiu and said, "I will take care of this matter, but although my uncle's house is a mess, they are my only relatives after all. I want to take you to meet them during the Chinese New Year. ?"

Gu Xiu laughed and said, "Okay."

Gu Xiudao: "You also know the situation on my mother's side, it's no better than your uncle's side, but I also want to take you to meet her."

Zhou Xing agreed with a smile.

Both of them are more or less conservative people. Now that they have decided to be together officially, they always feel that it is better to let their family members know. The two people have the same idea on this point.

Years ago, there was a lot more walking among friends.

Just as Gu Xiu and Zhou Xing sent Zheng Yan and the others away, Gu Xiu's cell phone rang, and it was a video call from Ding Le.

Gu Xiu smiled and picked up the phone.

When Zhou Xing saw it was Ding Le, he didn't back away, and he didn't let go of Gu Xiu's hand.

Ding Le saw the two of them like this, so he put on a look that he didn't see.

When Gu Xiu saw the two people in the camera, he couldn't help but said to Ding Le: "Hey, you can take some pictures for us and count them as group photos."

Gu Xiu pulled Zhou Xing, and the two of them compared their hearts to the camera.

Reluctantly, one of the two put their hands on top of their heads, and the other put their hands on their chests. There was no tacit understanding.

Gu Xiu poked Zhou Xing once, and then Zhou Xing followed Gu Xiu and put his hand on his chest.

With the help of Ding Le, the two took a few group photos together. Zhou Xing felt that it might not be convenient for the two of them to talk because he was here, so he went to the bathroom to clean Gu Xiu's shoes.

By the time Gu Xiu hung up the phone, Zhou Xing had already cleaned his shoes.

Gu Xiu leaned over and kissed him, "Why are you so nice?"

Zhou Xing smiled, "Is that all right?"

After Zhou Xing finished washing his hands, Gu Xiu pulled Zhou Xing to sit at the table together, "I want to listen to a song with you."

Gu Xiu said and clicked on the video.

The music played slowly.

This is a Japanese song, "I've thought about it too" by Mika Nakashima.

Zhou Xing looked at the scrolling subtitles below.

……

I've thought about it once

because of being hurt by cold words

cry for wanting to be loved

because of the warmth of understanding people

I've thought about it once

because of your bright smile

All I can think of is one hundred

It must be because I take life too seriously

I've thought about it a hundred times

It's because I haven't met you yet

People like you exist in this world

Make me feel a little bit fond of this world

People like you exist in this world

Let me have a little hope for this world【Note 1】

Gu Xiu pointed to the lyrics below and said to Zhou Xing: "This is what I want to say to you. Fortunately, you exist in this world. Thank you for being by my side..."

Zhou Xing hugged Gu Xiu tightly. After a while, he suddenly realized and grabbed Gu Xiu's hand, "Can you see it?"

Gu Xiu smiled and nodded.

"When did this happen?"

"Just now, I found it when I hung up the video and saw the phone interface."

Zhou Xing hugged Gu Xiu, and at this moment he was so happy that he didn't know what to do.

Gu Xiu looked at the person in front of him who was happier than himself, and felt that his heart was soft.

Gu Xiu's new book years ago was finally finished.

Most of the content of this book was completed by him and Zhou Xing together, and Gu Xiu cherished the book that the two of them completed together.

On the last page of the book he writes:

May this book give you some strength.

I know you are in pain, but you are not alone, many people feel your pain.

Although I don't know what you've been through, it's really hard work for you. You didn't choose to give up, and you are already very brave.

Come on, fight for yourself one last time. 【Note 2】

Now I, because of him, fell in love with this world again.
