boy with pearl necklace

8.

Yu Changan had a short dream, the dream was only a fragment, and in the fragment was a beautiful pure white lamb.

After waking up, Yu Changan tried to recall the scene in the dream, but his memory was not very clear, all he could remember was the pretty face of the lamb.Yu Changan thought it was really a beautiful creature.

The heroine of the new book has a name—Xiao Yang.She broke into Yu Changan's dream for no reason, and left such a lovely and beautiful image in Yu Changan's heart, Yu Changan couldn't have named her otherwise.

The so-called "sex details" that Lu Ming told Yu Changan the night before were not very helpful to Yu Changan. He still needed more detailed descriptions, but he still wrote it down in his notebook.Yu Chang'an drew up an outline and sent it to Lao Wu. The story was about a girl named Xiao Yang who accidentally broke into the life of a father and son.Old Wu's reply was quick and concise, so Yu Changan was asked to continue following this line of thought, and it was better to write faster.

faster.It's not that simple.

Yu Changan decided to ignore Old Wu's words.If the syllabus is passed, it's worth a little celebration, isn't it?The way to celebrate is to give yourself a day off and think about nothing.

He rarely walked out of the villa in the afternoon, walked out of the Cang'an Residence, and walked along the waterside platform on the shore of Canghu Lake.Walking and stopping all the way to the viewing platform, Yu Changan sat down on the bench, enjoying the warm sunshine in the winter afternoon, and occasionally a gust of wind would not feel cold, it was so comfortable, Yu Changan thought of him again in such comfort novels and Lao Wu.Yu Changan said in his heart: Fuck it.

The calories consumed from the exercise just now were almost the same, and his body was a little cold, so Yu Changan got up and continued walking.Unknowingly, I walked to the gate of Canghu Scenic Area and saw the bookstore on the left side of the gate.

Many buildings now like to use large pieces of glass as walls, as if to build a "Crystal Palace".This bookstore is a crystal clear building, and the inside can be seen from the outside.Yu Changan easily saw Lu Ming.

He entered the bookstore, instead of going directly to the coffee shop, he went to the rows of bookshelves to look for his own books.As he expected, "Dark Man Renren" was placed in the bottom corner of the novel category.He took out the book and traced the pen name "Chuanyu" with his fingertips - one of his favorite Chinese characters and a word in his mother's name, forming his identity as a writer.Few people know the writer Chuan Yu, let alone the writer Chuan Yu's real name.Yu Chang'an was holding "Dark Man Renren", which no one cares about, and felt that his life was as gloomy as the title of the book.

The good mood he finally got after basking in the sun disappeared at this moment. Yu Changan put the book back in its original place, and glanced at Luming from a distance across the bookshelf.Lu Ming was wearing a white shirt and a brown apron, talking to a male colleague.Lu Ming's demeanor is very different from when he was at home. At this time, Lu Ming is a deer that has returned to its nature, lively and agile, with no fear on his face.Yu Changan had never seen Luming like this.He went home with a bad mood.

When she got home, Qingqing was preparing dinner, and Xiaoguo was talking in the stroller beside her.Yu Changan teased the child casually, feeling bored.Seeing that Yu Changan's face was not looking well, Qingqing carefully asked Mr. Yu what happened.Yu Changan shook his head, saying that he was just too tired.He didn't even know why he was in a bad mood.Because of Luming?Because Lu Ming received the goods and happy never showed such a relaxed side in front of him?Could it be that in Lu Ming's eyes, he is so terrifying?

Yu Changan was lying on the small bed in the study room, with one leg on the bed and the other pointing to the ground, his legs would go numb after a while.He stood up and moved around the hall twice, the doorbell rang, and Luming arrived home.

Yu Changan opened the door for Lu Ming.Lu Ming smiled at Yu Changan after seeing him, but Yu Changan thought it was not a smile from the heart, because it was different from the smile in the coffee shop.

During the meal, Yu Changan turned on the TV as the background sound, and after the news broadcast was the weather forecast, no one spoke until the end of the weather forecast.Qingqing left the table early to clean up the kitchen, only Yu Changan and Lu Ming were left at the table.Yu Chang'an opened his mouth casually and said, "It's quite a long way from home to the coffee shop, it takes a long time."

Lu Ming shook his head, and replied: "It's not very far, it won't take long for me to ride there."

Yu Changan looked at Lu Ming: "What kind of bike are you riding?"

This question stunned Lu Ming for a moment, he wondered why Mr. Yu was so stupid?The world is full of people. Besides shared bicycles, what other vehicles can we ride?He replied with puzzlement about Yu Changan: "Riding a shared bicycle."

"Can you ride a bicycle?" and "Can you use a shared bicycle?" These two questions almost made Yu Changan blurt out.

Today Luming showed Yu Changan too many different looks.In other words, Yu Changan used to have too narrow a view of people, and only saw one side of Lu Ming.It turns out that Lu Ming can ride a bicycle, it turns out that Lu Ming can use shared bicycles; it turns out that Lu Ming can take the initiative to talk to people, it turns out that Lu Ming is not always shy.

Only then did Yu Changan realize that he knew almost nothing about Luming, and he never thought of taking the initiative to understand Luming.If he hadn't visited the coffee shop on a whim today, he might never have realized that even after Yu Beilian died, Lu Ming was still kept in captivity—he was inherited by Yu Beilian's son, and continued to be a beautiful but lifeless domesticated fawn.

Yu Changan was suddenly thankful and thankful that Lu Ming had found a job, because of this he did not become the next Yu Beilian, the person he hated the most.

Yu Changan's heart was full of turmoil and thoughts, his face was calm, and he even pretended to be indifferent in order to hide his heart.He said to Lu Ming: "There are many people and vehicles on the road, you must pay attention to safety when riding a bicycle."

Lu Ming nodded: "Okay."

Yu Changan dreamed of a beautiful lamb again.This time he could recall that in the dream, a human tried to approach the lamb, but was kicked into the lake by the lamb. The man struggled to ask the lamb for help, and the lamb hesitated for a moment, then stretched out its front legs to save the man , but the man had lost his strength and sank to the bottom of the lake.After waking up, Yu Changan sat on the bed and thought for a long time, Xiao Yang's behavior was too contradictory.He could clearly feel that the lamb loved the human being deeply, but when he sensed the danger, he decisively kicked him away, but when he struggled to ask for help, the lamb relented again, and the lamb even knew that if he was caught by his front legs , the consequence is that it falls into the lake and dies together with humans.The contradiction is somewhat heroic.

This dream disturbed Yu Changan's sleep, Yu Changan's head was heavy, he lay down again and planned to continue to sleep for a while, when Lao Wu called.

Old Wu said that he was too busy yesterday and didn't pay close attention to what Yu Changan handed over.Old Wu said that Yu Chang'an's novels could be more layered, but they are still a little thin.Yu Chang'an pressed his eyebrows, and he didn't even have the energy to curse.Yu Changan wanted to ask Lao Wu whether he wanted him to write erotic novels or serious literature.But Yu Changan didn't have the guts, Old Wu scares him even more than Yu Beilian.

When I hung up the phone, I fell asleep.Yu Changan looked at the time, it was already noon, Lu Ming had already gone to work, and Qingqing probably took the child out for a walk.

He slept in the study again last night, and he was about to imprison himself in this small field.Yu Changan washed up, ate some breakfast made by Qingqing, and then went out.

He still doesn't intend to write.Old Wu extinguished the confidence and enthusiasm he had built up just a few hours ago.Yu Chang'an called Old Wu a passion killer, who only killed his passion.

After going out, he found that the weather was gloomy. The weather forecast on his mobile phone said that it would rain today. Yu Changan looked at the dark clouds in the distance and thought, let's go down, can we drown people to death?

There was no destination for this trip, so Yu Changan walked to the bus stop, browsed the stop sign, and saw a familiar stop name——Shida Road.

He remembered that he had not returned to his old home for a long time.

Since moving to Cang'anju, he has never been to his home next to Cangzhou Normal University. All the feelings stored there are linked to pain. Even the air in the small home of only over 70 square meters is bitter. During the seven years from the age of 23 to his 30s, Yu Changan was tortured repeatedly in that bitter hut by himself, and produced an equally bitter "Obscurity in the World".

Sitting on the bus, Yu Changan thought, if Yu Beilian hadn't died, if he hadn't moved to Cang'an Residence, he might not have lived there long.

The old house has been covered with a layer of dust.When Yu Changan left, he didn't do dustproof work carefully, so now everything exposed to the outside looks gray, just like the sky outside.Yu Changan cleaned the study sloppily, and when he sat down on the swivel chair, a cloud of dust rose from the cushion.

He lay on the desk, with his head resting on his left arm, his eyes looking at the wall and the bookcase next to the wall on the right, thinking of his mother.Yu Changan hadn't thought of Yan Ruyu for a long time.

Yu Chang'an grew up in a normal university, his mother was an English teacher, but his English was terrible.Yan Ruyu supplemented Yu Changan's English, but in the end, Yu Changan always acted like a baby with his mother, and slipped away from the desk after arguing and twisting.Yan Ruyu said that she had brought so many students, but she couldn't teach Lao Yu and Xiao Yu well.Yu Chang'an could still remember Yan Ruyu's helpless smile and sigh. He shed a tear and flowed down the corner of his eye into his clothes.

His mother wanted him to major in English and later become an interpreter. Yu Changan finally got admitted to the Normal University with Fei's efforts, but he chose advertising.For four years in college, he "didn't do his job properly" and was muddled. Every day except games was novels, and he was also playing games on the day his mother left.

Yu Changan fell into missing Yan Ruyu again.Yan Ruyu was his inner demon, he fell asleep in the dull pain of this torment.

It was already dark when he woke up, and he woke up from the cold, his hands and feet were cold, and his back was also cold.It really started raining outside.Yu Changan looked at his watch, it was past seven o'clock, he called Qingqing and asked Qingqing to eat first, just leave some food for him.Qingqing said on the other end of the phone that Mr. Yu remembered to hold an umbrella, so don't catch a cold.Yu Chang'an responded to Qingqing, thinking that he might have caught a cold and his nose was coming out.

When he left, he still didn't cover the furniture with dust-proof cloth, and planned to come back in a few days to do a good job of hygiene.

Yu Chang'an took a shortcut to the bus station with an old lattice umbrella.His haggard figure, old clothes and old umbrella made him look quite downcast. He walked in the alleys of the back streets of the Normal University, and even the women standing on the street would not even look at him.Yu Chang'an was not interested in street girls. Just as he was about to walk out of the alley, a man followed him and asked, "Sir, do you want to serve?"

Yu Changan paused for a moment, and he could tell that it was a boy's voice, even though it was clear and slender and somewhat indistinguishable.Yu Changan glanced at him.

It was a boy indeed, a boy in a long fur jacket and a tight black dress.The boy's hair was longer than the ears and halfway to the neck. It was very similar to Lu Ming's previous hairstyle. It was uncertain whether it was real hair or a wig.His figure is as slender as his voice, and his handsome appearance still looks like a boy, with a little lipstick on his mouth. This only makeup makes his women's clothing very sloppy, and his whole body is full of disobedience.

The boy asked him again.Yu Changan shook his head.

The boy turned and left.Yu Changan stopped him: "Hey, you didn't hold an umbrella."

The boy turned around: "I know."

Yu Changan saw that the boy was shivering from the cold, so he raised the umbrella in his hand: "Shall I give you a ride?"

The boy sneered: "No, you said it as if you were going to give me a funeral."

Yu Changan said, "I'm sorry."

The boy nodded: "It's okay. My name is Xiaolong, Linglong's Long. If you need anything, come to me."

Yu Changan shook his head: "No need."

Xiao Long said, "Who can say for sure."

Yu Changan chuckled and waved goodbye to the boy.

It was nearly nine o'clock when we got home, and the rain was getting heavier and heavier, and Yu Chang'an kept sneezing.Qingqing made him a cup of Radix Banlangen to prevent a cold, Yu Changan obediently drank the cup and asked Qingqing, "Is Luming on the night shift again today?"

Qingqing answered yes.

Yu Changan said, "I'll pick him up later, I don't know when the rain will stop."
