A thousand years

Standing silently among a group of car wash workers, Gu Huai straightened his back, wearing a cement gray work uniform with the logo of the car dealership on it, expressionless.

It just so happens that standing in the crowd is extraordinarily eye-catching and out of tune with other people.

Rolling up his sleeves with a cigarette butt in his mouth, a man who was about the same height as Gu Huai raised his eyebrows and glanced at Gu Huai.

"Hey, what's your name on the first day here?"

Without squinting, Gu Huai pursed his lips slightly, as if he didn't hear the man's words at all.

Such an attitude instantly angered the man who struck up a conversation with Gu Huai. He took a puff of cigarette, then opened his mouth lightly, sprayed the smoke on Gu Huai's face, and sneered.

"What do you pretend you don't know? Everyone who comes here on the first day has to honor my brother De?"

Being sprayed on his face by the smoke from the man's mouth, Gu Huai frowned imperceptibly, and finally turned to look at this man named De Ge.

"I honor you?"

At this moment, Gu Huai's face was pale, his black eyes were dark, and he couldn't see any emotion, but for some reason, when Brother De looked into Gu Huai's eyes, cold sweat broke out in an instant, and he felt a little guilty for no reason.

"Brother De...don't be as knowledgeable as him," a man who obviously looked like Brother De's younger brother came over and whispered in his ear, "This person doesn't seem to be easy to bully..."

With the steps down, Brother De sneered and glared at Gu Huai, implying that the future will be long.

"Ahem, since everyone is here, let's arrange specific work assignments this morning." Manager Li, with a big belly, arrived late in a neat suit. As soon as he came in, all the people holding cigarettes in their hands Brother De, who was extremely arrogant, stood up respectfully at this moment.

Seeing Gu Huai standing in the crowd, a meaningful emotion flashed in Manager Li's eyes.Early in the morning, he received a call from his superiors, saying that a new car wash worker would come today, and he was specially instructed to take good care of him.

He coughed and pointed at Gu Huai.

"You, come out."

Pointing at Gu Huai with his chin raised, he said with a sense of domineering.

Without showing any expression, Gu Huai stood up according to his words.

"You're new here, right? You don't look like you can endure hardships, tsk tsk... We are a car dealership here. Since you don't know anything, you are going to repair a batch of trucks at the construction site today. Since you wash those expensive cars Not good, let’s wash those trucks.”

As soon as this remark came out, Brother De, who was standing behind, couldn't help but sneered, his eyes full of gloating.

There were as many as twenty trucks carrying sand and cement from the construction site, and they were only here for repairs. There was no need for the performance of the cleaning manager. It was obvious that he was deliberately targeting Gu Huai.

Everyone was mentally prepared to watch Gu Huai's reaction, but the man seemed to be completely unaware of the hardships he was about to face. He nodded and walked back to wash the car with his gloves in hand.

"Wait!"

Gu Huai's attitude made Manager Li feel that his majesty was being provoked, as if he was showing his teeth and claws, but he didn't even have a reaction.With a cold snort, Manager Li looked at the gloves on Gu Huai's hands.

"Take off your gloves. Car washing is a delicate job. With gloves on, you can tell where it's dirty and where it isn't?"

It's late autumn now, especially in S City, where the winter basically comes earlier than other places. Car washes in car dealerships always use cold water, and gloves are not allowed. This is already a complete setback.

Slightly pursing her thin lips, Gu Huai remained silent without showing any expression. He took off his gloves, put them on the table in front of everyone, and turned straight into the laundry room.

The [-] trucks parked randomly at the back of the washing workshop, the trucks were covered with a thick mixture of lime and cement, dilapidated and messy.After a quick glance, I found that the parking position of these cars was too awkward. It was very close to the repair workshop, but it was at the back of the washing workshop, and the length of the water pipes was not enough.

In fact, he didn't come here to wash the car, but now, Gu Huai's only way is to bring buckets of water over, and pick them up after they are used up.

The quality of the tooling was not particularly good, it was rough, it was just a coat made of a thin layer of cloth, it did not block the wind, and Gu Huai was located at the junction of the two workshops, the door was open, and the wind was blowing Blow it in and pour it into the clothes.

The lime and cement on the car body seemed to have been left for a long time at first glance, stubbornly stuck to it, the whole car body was dyed grayish white, and there was rust that could easily be broken off.

To fetch water, first wash the car body, and then use your hands to break off the lime cement sticking to it little by little.

A stab.

The sharp point on the body rested on Gu Huai's palm.The man's palm was thick and wide, and a cut was cut directly. The palm was wet, and the scar ran through the four fingers except the thumb. The cut was deep. The wound was opened, revealing white flesh and bright red blood. It oozes out along the wound, mixed with the lime and cement on hand just now, it looks dirty and painful.

With a blank face, he just did a simple cleaning, and Gu Huai continued his work.

Twenty cars, now only one has been washed.

"Tsk tsk, it really is new here. Are you washing the car?" Manager Li came over to inspect, looked at the situation on Gu Huai's side, sneered, and pointed at the cement on the car body that had not been cleaned.

"Do you know that all the cement on the car body should be cleaned?"

"Knowing that you are new here, don't say that we are deliberately targeting you. If you don't wash it clean, you will have to deduct money. I will check it when I get off work. Today, you will do this."

After all, he looked up and walked away with his hands behind his back.

Without saying a word, Gu Huai cleaned the cement on the car body over and over again. During the whole process, Gu Huai didn't say a word.

Mr. Gu personally sold these [-] cars...but it's just the beginning. Now that he's mentally prepared, what can't be accepted?

boom!

Gu Huai was washing the car while standing with a towel, when a truck parked behind Gu Huai was started, and the entire body of the truck was raised upwards. With a bang, all the lime cement remaining on the truck tilted down, and Gu Huai fell to the ground. Head and body.

The man turned around slowly, covered in dust all over his body, and every time he slapped, it was a dusty blow.

"I'm sorry, are you okay?" The driver quickly turned off the engine when he heard the commotion behind him, ran down and looked at the lime on Gu Huai's body, with a little guilt on his face, "I'm going to see what's wrong with this car , didn’t notice you standing behind, sorry bro.”

Shaking his head, Gu Huai said lightly, "It's okay."

Seeing that Gu Huai didn't care, the man felt even more guilty. He glanced at the bucket and towels behind Gu Huai, "Isn't this car sent to us for repairs and maintenance? No need to wash it."

Suddenly thought of something, it seems that a new worker came here today, and the superior told him to take good care of him, the man looked at Gu Huai with a strange look, stepped back half a step, and laughed dryly.

"Well, bro, wash it slowly, I'm going to repair the car first." After saying that, he quickly turned around and left, for fear that if he got too close to Gu Huai, he would be taken special care of himself.

"Boss..."

Li Xin didn't know when she appeared in the car dealership, until she saw Gu Huai, even though she was mentally prepared, she was taken aback at the moment.

Even in the previous eight years, no matter how difficult the task was, he had never seen Gu Huai so embarrassed.

Wearing gray work clothes, stepping on cloth shoes soaked in cold water, rolling up the sleeves, holding a towel over and over again to wipe the cement on the car body that is almost impossible to get rid of, the whole body is covered with dust, even on the hair, it seems As long as you pat it, you can be choked by the raised dust.

Seeing Li Xin and Gu Huai was not surprised, he nodded lightly, but the movements of his hands did not stop at all.

"How is Mrs. Gu doing now?"

Li Xin bowed, and said in a moderate voice, "Master Gu sent someone to accept Mrs. Gu, but Boss, we have made sufficient preparations before, so the people Mr. Gu sent are just empty... Shell."

Seeing that Gu Huai did not answer, Li Xin hesitated, hesitated for a moment and finally asked the question hidden in his heart.

"Boss, do you really want to stay here for three months to wash someone else's car?"

Turning around, and finally put down the towel in his hand, Gu Huai raised his hand, looking at the gray wound on the palm of his hand that had been soaked in water.

"You think I can't even wash a car well?"

As soon as these words came out, Li Xin suddenly changed color, "No, I just think..."

Gu Huai shook his head and waved his hand, signaling him not to be nervous.

The man pursed his thin lips slightly, looking at the rough environment of the car dealership, the twenty dirty trucks in front of him, even after cleaning as much as possible, they still looked like they hadn't changed much.

Some pale incandescent lights above his head hit Gu Huai's face. The man's hair was covered with dust, and his clothes and jacket were also dirty, but his back was straight, calm, calm, calm and calm. .

Yesterday on the plane suddenly appeared in my mind, Gu Ruofan raised his eyebrows and calculated how to maintain his expression calmly and happily. The young man's eyes were clear, with a look of anticipation.

Gu Huai looked at Li Xin, "Actually, it's not a bad situation now."

"Boss!"

"Don't worry, don't worry about me." Gu Huai smiled lightly, picked up the towel on the bucket again and turned around, the man's voice was faint, with a bit of the cold metal quality of late autumn.

"What I've told you to do, you just do it well."

"Three months... maybe less than three months."

Hearing what Gu Huai said, Li Xin fell silent for a moment and nodded.

"Don't come to me again if there's nothing particularly serious." Glancing at Li Xin, "Also, don't tell Luo Hao what I'm doing."

Li Xin nodded knowingly, with a hint of understanding on his calm face, if Luo Hao knew that the boss was washing cars for others, he might have to rush to City S to snatch the towel from Gu Huai's hand

Seemingly thinking of something, Gu Huai stopped Li Xin.

A trace of complicated emotions flashed in the man's dark eyes, he paused slightly, and coughed.

"Give me 100 yuan."

Li Xin was also taken aback suddenly.

Somewhat startled, he raised his head and looked at Gu Huai. The expression on the man's face became even weirder. After he realized it, he quickly took out his wallet, took out all the money in it and handed it to Gu Huai.

With an awkward and weird expression, he only pulled out one, and handed the rest back to Li Xin.

With a cough, "You go first."

knock knock knock.

The house Gu Huai and the others live in is on the second floor. The wooden door looks old, and when the door is knocked clean, dust seems to fall from the top of the head.

Hearing the knock on the door, Gu Ruofan ran out and opened the door before he could put down his things in time.

Gu Huai was standing outside the door, wearing the suit that Gu Ruofan had found for him before going out. Although it didn't fit very well, it was worn on a man. He was tall and had long legs, and his waist was narrow and strong. The ordinary clothes gave off the temperament of a model.

Gu Huai still had a box in his hand, which was packed in a bag, but he couldn't tell what it was.

"what is this?"

Gu Huai put the things in his hands on the ground as if nothing had happened, and shook his head, "It's nothing."

Shrugging his shoulders, although a little curious but not entangled, he switched the spoon in his hand to his left hand, Gu Ruofan raised his head with a bright smile on his face, stretched out his right hand to grab Gu Huai's arm, and pulled the man into the room.

"No, you close your eyes first!"

Somewhat puzzled, Gu Huai closed his eyes according to his words, and let Gu Ruofan lead him into the house.

Looking around, a bright and bright smile flashed in Gu Ruofan's eyes, "Okay, you can open your eyes now."

"How's it going, do you feel a lot better?" Nervously looking up at Gu Huai, he observed every slight change in the expression on the man's face.

The room that was full of dust yesterday was cleaned up by Gu Ruofan today, with a small sofa, coffee table, stools, and even a few flowers sprinkled with dew on the table.

Pointing at the flowers on the table, Gu Ruofan raised his head and showed off to Gu Huai proudly: "These flowers are not bought with money, I picked them all from the school flower garden, so it looks like the family Isn't it not so tattered?"

Looking at the young man's raised eyebrows and his expression of coming to praise me, Gu Huai slightly lowered his head and moved closer to his face, a hint of narrowness flashed in his eyes.

"Plucked from the school garden...?"

……

Gu Ruofan shrank his neck, shrugged his shoulders, his ears were a little hot, "Anyway, I don't think anyone wants it... just leave it anywhere, why don't I bring it back to add a little life to the house."

"What's the matter?"

Gu Huai smiled lightly, raised his hand and pulled the young man into his arms, felt his warm breath on his shoulders, heard his heartbeat thumping, merged with his own heartbeat, looked around at the same as yesterday The old and simple house I saw was completely different, as if it had completely changed its appearance.

Home.

This is the first, in a real sense, his and Gu Ruofan's home.

Gumbling.

The sound of water in the kitchen brought Gu Ruofan back to his senses, jumped up with a bang, waved the spoon in his hand, pushed Gu Huai away and ran towards the kitchen.

Facing the suddenly empty arms, Gu Huai raised his eyebrows, feeling uncomfortable for another moment, shook his head and smiled wryly, and followed Gu Ruofan into the kitchen.

The boy was cooking noodles, looking a little flustered.

Seeing Gu Huai come in, Gu Ruofan wrinkled his face and glared at the man.

"It's all your fault, the noodles are all soft now, what should I do?"

Sighing, Gu Ruofan smashed the soft noodles that had stuck together, "Otherwise, just boil them, but at night, you can only eat batter..."

Gu Huai raised his eyebrows, expressing that it doesn't matter.

He has never been too attached to these foods, so he won't be too particular about them.Besides, this is something the young man made for him with his own hands, let alone boiled until it softened, even if it was overcooked, Gu Huai would probably eat it without hesitation.

"Brother, do you want poached eggs?"

Gu Ruofan took out an egg from behind as if conjuring, and Gu Ruofan smiled slyly. Although they don't have much money now, he still went to the supermarket to buy a lot of eggs and came back. The quality of life should be guaranteed as much as possible~

Noodles are cooking on the stove, the kitchen space is not big, there is steam rising up, Gu Ruofan is standing in front of the cement wall, the environment is simple and crude, with pots and pans as the background, oil, salt, sauce and vinegar, the boy is standing In front of Gu Huai, he didn't seem to feel the slightest loss at all due to their embarrassing situation at this moment. Instead, they smiled cleanly and gently, holding a spoon in one hand and an egg in the other.

"May I ask you, do you want poached eggs or beaten egg flowers?"

Gu Huai's heart was inexplicably occupied by a special, extremely soft emotion. His throat moved slightly, and the corner of the man's mouth also smiled. Looking at the boy, he replied, "Let's eat poached eggs."

After getting Gu Huai's answer, Gu Ruofan's expression became even more joyful.

"Then poached eggs, I like poached eggs too!"

After breaking the eggs and putting the lid on the pot, Gu Ruofan finally freed his hands and turned around to look at Gu Huai.

"Brother, what did you do today and why did you come back so late?"

Gu Huai raised his eyebrows, without any clues on his face, he replied nonchalantly: "You have gone to class, so I just went out for a stroll and forgot the time."

Frowning, the young man who was still somewhat puzzled looked at Gu Huai twice, but he still couldn't figure out what was wrong. He shook his head, put this topic aside, and suddenly remembered something.

"By the way, I found a part-time job. It's in a restaurant near the school. Every night from 1000:[-] to [-]:[-], it costs [-] or [-] yuan a month." Wracking his fingers, Gu Ruofan lowered his head and calculated, "Starting tomorrow If you do it, you can get your salary at the beginning of next month, bro, actually three months is a lot of persistence, right? I must work hard to make money, and take good care of you during these three months!"

Gu Huai raised his eyebrows and smiled lightly.

"Okay, then I'll wait for Xiaofan to make money to support my brother."

When the noodles were brought to the table, they lived up to expectations and were boiled into batter. Only the egg nestled on top was intact, which saved some of the appearance.

A little embarrassed, Gu Ruofan poked the egg vigorously and handed a bowl to Gu Huai.

"The batter is also delicious, and it's easier to digest than noodles."

Shaking his head and chuckling, Gu Huai took the bowl, feeling extremely soft in his heart.

The young man buried his head in his food, half of his face was hidden in the steaming mist, his not-so-great facial features were delicate and delicate, and Gu Huai's eyes were slightly dazed.

It's obviously not a particularly delicate face, but the way he smiles, frowns, and speaks, it seems that every expression and every movement can tightly catch his eyeballs, and it perfectly fits his heart.

Noticing Gu Huai's gaze, Gu Ruofan raised his head in doubt, touched his face, "What's the matter, did you get stuck on something?"

Gu Huai smiled lightly, raised his hand to pinch Gu Ruofan's face, and nodded seriously.

"Yeah, it's sticking to the noodles."

Slapping Gu Huai's hand off, Gu Ruofan wrinkled his face and glared at the man.

With a flash of sight, he glanced at Gu Huai's palm from the corner of his eye, and the young man's eyes froze.

"Wait, what's going on with your hand?"

Withdrew his hand as if nothing had happened, and held the bowl. Gu Huai couldn't see any clues on his face, and explained lightly: "I rubbed it when I went out today, it's okay."

"Take it out and show me."

Gu Ruofan took a deep breath, ignored Gu Huai's explanation, stood up and walked directly in front of Gu Huai, grabbed the man's hand and looked at it carefully.

The heart thumped violently.

The wound cut by a sharp object seems to be soaked in water or something, it is unhealthy white, and it hurts to look at it.

First he was broken, then Gu Huai was beaten, the wound on his back was still not healed, and now there was another wound on the palm of his hand.

Pursing his lips, the young man tightly held Gu Huai's right hand. Almost instantly, his eye sockets were filled with sour moisture, and his chest felt half sore and half wronged, which shocked him a little. It hurts.

"Can't you be more careful? Can't you be more careful?"

Pinching Gu Huai's arm hard, Gu Ruofan threw down the man's hand as if in a fit of anger, and quickly ran to the living room table, opened the cabinet and searched for a long time, and came over angrily holding the gauze.

Pursing his lips and refusing to speak, he lowered his head and picked up Gu Huai's hand again, until the dressing was finished, then lowered his head and put the gauze back into the cabinet.

Gu Huai stretched out his hand to hook Gu Ruofan's arm, pulled the boy into his arms, and before he could react, he pressed his forehead to Gu Ruofan's.

The man's sudden approach made Gu Ruofan stiff for a moment, then relaxed his body, and involuntarily raised his hand to approach Gu Huai.

From Gu Ruofan's point of view, Gu Huai's face is very close to him, with fine eyelashes, straight nose bridge, smooth skin, slightly pursed thin lips, every inch of detail is just right, just like an ancient Greek sculpture.Gu Huai has a very unique temperament. Since he was 15 years old, at such a young age, his whole body exudes a calm and calm, as if this man is able to calmly deal with and accept everything he has experienced. like.

Gu Ruofan suddenly felt a little depressed.

He opened his mouth and bit Gu Huai's shoulder hard.

The man paused suddenly, feeling the pain from his shoulder, shook his head, and sighed helplessly and fondly.

"Can you calm down now?"

With a muffled voice, Gu Ruofan shook his head fiercely, thinking of the wound on the palm of Gu Huai's hand, he felt very awkward. Is it a bad luck for them recently? There have always been such bloody disasters.

Let go of Gu Ruofan, Gu Huai looked at him, a smile flashed in his eyes.

"Let's go first, it's your turn to close your eyes."

"Close your eyes?" Somewhat puzzled, Gu Ruofan raised his head and looked at Gu Huai, who was confused. He really didn't know what kind of medicine the man was selling.

Nod, yes, close your eyes.

Alright, Gu Ruofan shrugged his shoulders, and closed his eyes obediently.

Looking at the young man standing in front of him with his eyes closed, Gu Huai raised the corners of his lips slightly, a little tenderness and affection that Gu Ruofan couldn't see clearly flashed in his black eyes, walked to the door, took the bag that he had brought in before, in his hand, Open.

Gu Ruofan moved his nose, and it seemed to smell very fragrant.

When he was able to open his eyes, the lights in the room had been turned off by Gu Huai. The man was wearing his clothes, with one hand wrapped in gauze, holding a delicate and small cake, standing in front of Gu Ruofan, pouring cream Fresh and smooth, the candles are glowing, illuminating the whole room.

Even Gu Huai's sharp edges and corners seemed to be softened a lot.

Gu Ruofan's eyes widened suddenly, and he looked up at Gu Huai in disbelief.

Man holds cake and smiles.

"Yesterday you said that you moved to a new house and wanted to eat cakes, but now that my brother has no money, I can only buy you such a small one. I don't know if you will mind."

Gu Huai was holding the cake, looked down at Gu Ruofan, and smiled sincerely. Gu Ruofan could see the yellowish light of the candle standing in Gu Huai's eyes, flickering a bright streamer, deep and shallow warmth, but It hit the boy's heart in an instant, making his head go blank, like a firework exploding, gushing out a sense of happiness that almost made the whole person dizzy.

yesterday.

As soon as the door was pushed open, dust fell from the ceiling, and dust fell all over Gu Ruofan's head.

Looking at the outdated furniture and the small room, fearing that Gu Huai would not get used to it, Gu Ruofan quickly ran over to get a rag and wiped the sofa. After making sure it was clean, he ran over and took the man's hand and sat down.

After doing a series of movements, a thin layer of sweat formed on his forehead, but Gu Huai looked around, his dark eyes were dark, and he couldn't see emotions, likes or dislikes.

"Brother, although this place is a bit broken and a bit small, but..." The boy's palms were sweaty, he took Gu Huai's hand, trying hard to make Gu Huai's impression of this house better.

"This is our first real home, isn't it?"

Gu Ruofan smiled brightly, looking excited and looking forward to it, "It would be great if there was cake, we can celebrate that we finally have our first home."

After finishing speaking, Gu Ruofan wrinkled his face again, lowered his head, and sighed in frustration, "But we don't have any money now..."

The young man's eyes were shining brightly, glistening with wet water, staring at Gu Huai, thinking of something, and regained his energy in an instant, "But it's okay, after I finish my part-time job, I will buy cakes with my wages. It's not too late to celebrate!"

Gu Huai didn't have any special reaction at that time, he just patted Gu Ruofan's head lightly, nodded and said yes.

But the next day, now, he held the cake and stood in front of himself.

Shaking his head desperately, taking the cake, Gu Ruofan shook his head desperately.

"Never mind, I don't mind."

How could he mind?

Gu Huai smiled, took the boy's hand, walked to the table and sat down, and put the cake on the table.

"I'm very happy that we have our first home, as you said, although it's not big enough, and it's not good enough..." Gu Huai's eyes were deep, a trace of complicated and unspeakable emotions flashed, then he raised his head and laughed .

"Xiaofan, brother loves you."

After eating the cake, Gu Ruofan sat on the bed to write and draw, and calculated how to spend the money for the past three months. He only turned on a small desk lamp.

Gu Huai quickly took a shower and came out. Since he left the Gu's house without taking anything, Gu Huai just wrapped a bath towel around his waist after taking a shower, wrapped his upper body, and was covered with damp water vapor. .

Seeing the young man's movements, Gu Huai raised his eyebrows slightly, moved closer to the young man's side, and looked down at the things he was writing and drawing.

"What are you doing"

Gu Huai's lips rubbed against Gu Ruofan's cheek, sparks splashed, and his voice was so hot that it almost burned half of Gu Ruofan's neck red.

Turning his face sideways, he avoided Gu Huai violently.

The man didn't force himself, he straightened up and stood by the bed, but Gu Ruofan's eyes fell on Gu Huai involuntarily.

Tall, with broad shoulders and a thin waist, and a tight and narrow abdomen, Gu Huai's muscles are not exaggerated, but every inch of his body is like a work of art from God, just right, elegant and powerful.

Gu Ruofan swallowed a little disappointingly, forced himself to look away, bit his tongue, "It's almost winter, don't you hurry up and put on your clothes?"

Gu Huai raised his eyebrows, and actually tore off the bathrobe, got on the bed, and sat beside Gu Ruofan.

Gu Ruofan was slightly taken aback, raised his head and turned his face to look at Gu Huai, the two of them were very close, as long as he moved a little further, and Gu Huai lowered his head, he could kiss his cheek.

Looking at the young man's bright eyes, Gu Huai's heart beat a little faster, his eyes darkened, and they moved closer to Gu Ruofan's ears.

His voice was suspiciously hoarse, and he stretched out his tongue to gently lick Gu Ruofan's ear. Feeling the boy's trembling in his arms, Gu Huai's eyes became darker and more turbulent.

"Xiaofan, after celebrating our first new home, shouldn't it be time for the bridal chamber?"
