[The fourth day after the stone laid eggs on April 4]

[Brother took advantage of the rocks not paying attention at night, used a small brush to sweep away the loose sand on the turtle eggs, and took a photo with a flashlight. There were obvious white spots on each egg, and there were indeed little turtles inside! 】

【Shitou is not a qualified mother turtle. She never went to see her eggs after she gave birth. Only Mantou checks the location of the eggs and whether the temperature of the sand is suitable every day.Shitou is a stupid turtle, but Mantou is a good father. 】

After having six little turtle eggs at home, Tao Jia went to the balcony every day for a week before going to and from get off work, as if she would see the little turtles hatching soon.

In order to ensure the health of Shi Shi’s tortoise, Tao Jia strongly demanded to take it to the pet hospital for a postnatal checkup, so this weekend, Gu Yu drove to the hospital with one person and one tortoise, leaving Mantou at home to look after the six eggs.

"The stone is delicious." On the co-pilot, the stone in the small portable incubator was still chewing on the turtle food. Tao Jia had watched it eat for more than ten minutes, and couldn't help worrying that the stone would be stuffed to death.

He stretched out his hand to grab the turtle, swept the unfinished turtle food to a corner, and pressed it with the medicine box Tao Jia himself carried every day.

The stone touched left and right, but it couldn't eat the thing under it. It became angry from embarrassment, and the whole turtle shrank into its shell, ignoring people.

"You look stupid." Tao Jia muttered in a low voice, then suddenly remembered something, then turned to Gu Yu and asked, "Brother, does Tutu also raise turtles?"

Before Gu Yu could answer, he asked persistently: "What's the name of the earthy tortoise? Is it as stupid as a stone?"

Gu Yu bent his fingers and tapped on the steering wheel, thought for a few seconds, and said, "Why does Tao Tao think that I will know about Tutu?"

Tao Jia didn't speak again.

He lowered his head and poked the stone inside the shell, forcing the tortoise to stick out its neck, and opened its mouth fiercely, looking like it was going to bite someone.In the end, he just bumped against Tao Jia's finger, but still didn't bite.

"I feel like you have known each other for a long time," Tao Jia said sullenly, "so just ask."

He didn't want to continue this topic, but Gu Yu didn't lightly expose it like before, but remembered what Lu Xiangshuang had said.

"Do you think..." Gu Yu asked, "I met Tutu when I was studying abroad?"

Tao Jia pinched the tail of the stone and looked at it. A small part was broken there before, and it hasn't grown back until now.Hearing Gu Yu's question, he got angry for a moment and accidentally pinched the stone, which made the turtle crawl around in shock.

Tao Jia withdrew her hand and said unhappily, "Isn't it!"

"You didn't want me at that time," he stared at the stone, but he didn't pay attention to it at all, and muttered to himself, "Go overseas to find soil to play with."

Tao Jia patted the incubator, and the rocks inside jumped up. He suddenly realized: "Brother, you don't want me because of the dirt!"

Gu Yu: "..."

How did Tao Jia train his self-justified logical thinking?

The atmosphere in the car suddenly became serious.

The pet hospital appeared ahead. Gu Yu parked his car in the parking area in front of the hospital. He parked the car and turned off the engine. Instead of rushing down, he unbuttoned his seat belt, turned his head to Tao Jia, and looked at his little one quietly for a while. lovers.

Tao Jia hugged the stone and looked back at him with clear eyes and a little resentment.

Gu Yu seemed to take a light breath, lowered his eyelashes and thought for a long time, and finally said: "Tu Tu, I don't know that you still care about the past after all these years."

Tao Jia tilted his head, not understanding why he called Tutu to himself again.

"I really should have explained it to you earlier," Gu Yu held his hand. Tao Jia's fingers were thin and white, and they felt a little cold in the car where the heating was gradually fading. "Maybe your illness has evolved like this. I have a large part of the reason."

"Tutu, I'm sorry," he said.

Tao Jia was confused even with the stones in the incubator.

"It was my fault that I left you without saying goodbye and leaving you for so long." Gu Yu said again: "It wasn't because of what you did, it wasn't because of who you were looking for, it was purely... it was my own wrong decision. "

After Gu Yu graduated from high school, he found out that his college entrance examination results were blocked, and he soon received an admission letter from his first choice university, while Tao Jia and his family had a big fight.

"I want to go to school there with my brother." Tao Jia was in the critical period of the high school entrance examination, but he refused to go to school, and repeatedly told his parents: "I don't want to take the high school here."

Ms. Tang's gentle and intellectual temper for many years finally erupted in the evening. She locked Tao Jia in the room and said angrily: "Tutu, if you have the ability, don't take the exam. If you don't have high school, your parents will send you there." A part-time job in a mine requires you to move bricks every day, and you will never be able to get into Xiao Gu's school in this lifetime!"

Tao Jia was scratching at the door in vain, crying like a mess.

Mr. Tao is a literati character, and he has never encountered such a desperate situation. He can only sit in the living room and sigh, listening to the confrontation between Tao Jia and Ms. Tang.

Mr. Tao even wanted to give in to Tao Jia's willfulness for a moment, and said to Ms. Tang in a low voice: "Why don't you let Tutu follow him, he's also in high school, find a good boarding school..."

Ms. Tang put her hips on her hips and asked back: "Do you think Tutu can take care of himself? Do you trust him to take care of himself? Have you taught him how to take care of himself?"

Her beautiful eyes were slightly red, and she continued to ask: "Tudu is so far away, what if I lose it?"

Mr. Tao closed the wheat.

The family did have concerns about Tao Jia being easily abducted.

But after a while, he thought about it again, and tentatively said, "Isn't Xiao Gu over there? Why don't we pay to rent a house near the school, and let Xiao Gu live with Tu Tu?"

Ms. Tang and Tao Jia quarreled for more than half an hour, her chest was sore with anger, and she had no energy to argue with her husband for a while, so she waved her hands and sat down, panting and said, "Go ask Xiao Gu, if he dares to promise If we can absolutely take good care of Tutu, we will think about it.”

So Mr. Tao really went to ask Gu Yu.

At that time, Gu Yu looked at the admission notice and stood quietly on the balcony of the living room with a cold expression, even Mr. Tao couldn't tell what he was thinking.

"Tutu is clamoring to follow you to another city," Mr. Tao asked, "Do you want to take him with you?"

Gu Yu, who just graduated from high school, lowered his eyes and didn't answer.

Mr. Tao sighed again: "It's really embarrassing for you to say this... Tutu is too willful. We didn't rush to teach him basic life skills because he was young, but now he is making such a fuss..."

"Tutu definitely can't go to live on campus alone, at least for the time being we don't agree." Mr. Tao's tone was very gentle, not aggressive: "If you want, you can live with him for half a year or a year first, When Tutu can take care of himself, let him live on campus."

"It's just that this will... drag you down." Mr. Tao hesitated for a moment before saying the next few words, and finally said: "So you think carefully, if you don't want to, we will make it clear with Tutu... "

Gu Yu's heart is like a bright mirror, the current Tao Jia doesn't look like he is willing to listen to people's reasoning.

After Mr. Tao finished speaking, he was about to leave some time for Gu Yu to think. Unexpectedly, the young man in front of him quickly said, "I won't bring Tutu with me."

Mr. Tao felt that this answer was reasonable, but it was unexpected.

He originally thought that the relationship between the two children was already very good, at least now Gu Yu dotes on Tao Jia very much, it seems that he has never rejected Tao Jia's proposal.

"Why?" Mr. Tao couldn't help asking, "Are you unwilling?"

Gu Yu was silent for a long time, and said, "Just treat it as unwillingness."

After Ms. Tang knew Gu Yu's decision, she rubbed her eyebrows and discussed with him helplessly: "I just knocked on Tutu's door again and told him what you said, but Tutu still won't come out to eat, little Gu, you……"

Gu Yu said, "I'll persuade you."

When he entered Tao Jia's bedroom, he found that the lights were not turned on. At eight o'clock in the night, Tao Jia was sitting at the foot of the bed, holding his knees in a daze.

At that time, Tao Jia was still very young, and he started school in the morning, and the rapid growth period seemed to be slower than his peers, until he graduated from junior high school, he was still growing at a turtle's speed, and Gu Yu could raise his hand at will to touch his furry head.

"Tutu," Gu Yu turned on the light, walked over to coax him in a low voice, "come out to eat first."

Tao Jia turned to see him, eyes widened with tear stains, grabbed his sleeve and called, "Brother!"

"Mom just wanted to lie to me," Tao Jia hurriedly said to him, "that you don't want to take me to school..."

Before he could finish speaking, Gu Yu interrupted him lightly: "Aunt Tang didn't lie to you."

Tao Jia's wide-open eyes froze.

"I really won't take you there." Gu Yu knelt down beside him, turned up the air conditioner, adjusted Tao Jia's clothes, and was about to pull him to stand up, but was pushed.

Tao Jia pushed his hand away and said angrily, "Why!"

"You can't take care of yourself well," Gu Yu thought for a while, and found an excuse, "I don't have time to take care of you either."

Tao Jia was trembling with anger: "I will take care of myself, I will learn to do housework and wash clothes! Don't worry about me! I will follow."

The bedroom was quiet for a few seconds.

"I will go to study abroad in my freshman year," Gu Yu Chuiluo clenched his hands into fists and said cruelly, "Maybe I will stay abroad for many years after that. Even if you follow me to the place where I was in college, you won't be able to see me." to me."

Tao Jia was completely dumbfounded.

Gu Yu stood up, looked down at him, and said in a hoarse voice, "So Tutu, you'd better go to a local high school."

Tao Jia didn't speak a word to him after that day, and went to take the high school entrance examination in silence, and successfully entered the local high school.And Gu Yu also packed his luggage and prepared to go to the new school for military training.

Before leaving, he went to Tao Jia's bedroom to bid farewell to the boy who was sitting at the desk reading a book.

"Tu Tu," Gu Yu called Tao Jia, as usual he didn't get a response, and he didn't care, and continued, "I'm on the plane tomorrow, and I won't be at home after that."

Tao Jia's straight back moved, his ears pricked up, and the book he held in his hand didn't turn a page for a long time.

Gu Yu stood behind him for a while, then said, "I can't take you with me, because I'm your brother."

Tao Jia didn't understand what he said, so naturally he didn't answer.

"If you don't hate me very much," Gu Yu said after a moment of consideration, "After three years, you can come to my school and I will come back at that time."

Tao Jia squeezed the book tightly, hearing Gu Yu's seemingly self-righteous words, he hated it even more.

Gu Yu just doesn't want him anymore, and finds him troublesome.

Then came the cold war between the two, the separation that lasted for a year and a half, Tao Jia encountered some big and small accidents, and Gu Yu lived alone abroad.

On the way, Gu Yu flew back without asking for leave, because Tao Jia suddenly lost contact in all directions, and finally found Tao Jia who was kidnapped by classmates in an abandoned warehouse.

A few months later, Gu Yu finished his exchange student career and returned to his school in China.

From here on, the relationship between the two people eased up bit by bit.

Holding the stone, Tao Jia had been quietly listening to Gu Yu's narration, and suddenly asked, "Brother, why don't you want me to follow you?"

He didn't worry about this being a "stupid" thing, but Gu Yu didn't even notice it for a while when he was recalling the past.

"Because," Gu Yu paused, then whispered, "You were only 15 years old then."

Tao Jia still didn't understand.

"Soil..."

Gu Yu finally raised his hand, covered his eyes, and said in a tired and gentle tone, "...I liked you back then, but you were only 15 years old."

Mr. Tao and Ms. Tang's intentions are of course good. As long as Gu Yu is willing to take Tao Jia to rent a house outside for a period of time, and wait for Tao Jia to adapt to the new environment and learn basic skills before entering the school to live, it will be nothing more than a quick Great way to grow.

And Gu Yu was in the same city as him, so he could take time to take care of Tao Jia.

but……

"Tutu, I'm afraid I can't control it." Gu Yu closed his eyes, suppressed the soreness, and his voice was hoarse: "I can't let you and me stay in the same city alone."

Tao Jia relied too much on him, and never concealed it, always giving Gu Yu his enthusiasm and trust unsuspectingly.No matter how strong the willpower is, it will gradually disintegrate under such a grueling relationship.

Tao Jia's excessive dependence on him is a Gu worm that swallows his will all the time for Gu Yu.

What can't be done to him?Gu Yu used to think so.Even if he asked the two of them to be together tomorrow, Tao Jia probably wouldn't have any doubts or resistance.

Tao Jia is too stupid, he doesn't understand at all.

He doesn't know what it means for two people to be together, and he doesn't know what he will pay. Before he has the ability to control himself, his life will be artificially led to another road.

As long as Tao Jia can understand a little bit, and Gu Yu can talk about it with him, it won't be so painful.

Gu Yu didn't know when his mind became obscure, but the college entrance examination was the opportunity he had been waiting for for a long time—an opportunity to calm himself down completely, leave Tao Jia temporarily, and think rationally.

"Aunt Tang regards me as her son." Gu Yu put down his hand that was in front of his eyes, exhaled lightly, and said, "I can't let them down either."

Although Ms. Tang still had a heart attack in the end, it was the choice Tao Jia made independently after the two of them solemnly communicated after she became an adult, so Gu Yu could barely overcome the hurdle in her heart.

Tao Jia looked at him for a while, then turned his eyes away without saying a word, and began to stare at the turtle in his arms in a daze.

"Later, I thought about it for many years." Gu Yu looked straight ahead, watching people with pets passing by one after another outside, Tao Jia heard him say: "Even if you didn't understand at that time, I should give you a The real reason."

"No," Tao Jia whispered suddenly, "I won't let you go then."

Gu Yu looked at him and lowered his tone: "But you won't leave a shadow either."

Tao Jia thought for a while and said, "It would be fine if you didn't like me at that time, we can stay together forever."

Gu Yu couldn't help being amused, and sighed helplessly: "Tutu, I can't control this..."

Before he finished speaking, Tao Jia put the tortoise by his feet, unbuckled the seat belt and rushed over.

Gu Yu put his arms around him, looking surprised.

"Brother," Tao Jia hugged him, patted him on the back awkwardly a few times, and said like Ms. Tang coaxing herself when she was a child, "Don't blame yourself."

"My disease is not caused by you," Tao Jia said seriously, "I have asked Dr. Lu and Dr. Vance a long time ago. This disease is microvascular disease. You have nothing to do with my blood vessels. And I am getting better gradually. gone."

The two were very close. Although Tao Jia looked calm on the surface, Gu Yu still found that he was anxious from his hot and rapid breathing.

Tao Jia stared closely into his eyes for a moment, and asked, "Tudu is me, right? I forgot this important thing, you have been very sad, right?"

The small thorns that have been stuck in my heart are completely removed, those strange and familiar past are erased like water mist, and the memory gradually becomes a clear piece of glass. Tao Jia puts her face on the glass, and she can feel amazing See all stories about "Tu Tu".

Because that was his own story too.

Gu Yu's eyelashes trembled slightly, and he replied, "Yes."

The atmosphere was just right, the gap between the two was less than a few centimeters, Gu Yu tightened his arms behind Tao Jia, and was about to kiss him, when the person in his arms suddenly backed away.

Tao Jia sized him up and said solemnly, "Brother, although my illness has nothing to do with you, it is a fact that you left me to go abroad."

Gu Yu's stunned expression seemed a little funny.

"I was really angry at the time," Tao Jia said, "and I really hated you. Now that you tell me that you haven't told me the truth, I'm even angrier."

Gu Yu: "..."

"Brother, you have to pay for what you did to me." Tao Jia said again.
