[Bottle Evil] Sleepless

No, just relax a little bit.It's the same thing as when you were studying, so it's impossible not to ask, if you ask too much, I'm afraid you'll be disgusted. "

Wu Xie suddenly fell silent.

The porcelain bowl and the plate collided with each other, ping-pong-pong, pointed like a needle, going in from the ear, stimulating the nerve, piercing into the heart, and running through the whole body.The pain catalyzes a substance called fear buried deep in the body, which swells up like water, cold, and finally bubbles out from the pores.

He stopped.

"Mom, let me tell you something."

Mother Wu paused, then turned her head, saw his expression, she was taken aback for a moment, then laughed again: "Dumped?"

Wu Xie squeezed out an ugly smile: "It's not that I don't have confidence in me anymore."

Mother Wu said, "So you got dumped?"

Wu Xie smiled wryly, "I'm serious."

Mama Wu stopped her hands, and her expression gradually became serious.

Wu Xie was quiet for a while, cleaned all the bowls in the basin, poured out the dirty water, turned on the faucet and took another clean basin, and stopped.He put his hands on the edge of the sink, lowered his eyes, and kept his voice to a minimum.

"I'm gay."

The faucet was not tightened, and a drop of water fell into the basin, splashing a small splash.

When Zhang Qiling wrapped Wu Xie in the coat that Lao Xie gave him, and stuffed it onto the passenger seat, the dense raindrops were already as big as beans.Slam the door for him, run to the driver's side, get in the car, close the door on this side, and go over there to buckle his seat belt.Wu Xie was like a log, neither moving nor resisting, just sitting there blankly.

He didn't drive right away, and fastened his seat belt, folded his hands on his chest, and stared at the black green belt outside the windshield.The rain came in groups and was wiped off neatly by the wipers, but they were not discouraged, and they rushed up again immediately with all their strength.

They rushed in when they heard the sound of porcelain bowls being smashed in the kitchen. Wu Xie's eyes were red, and his mother's face was full of tears. A woman's tears are really worthless. Just a few seconds after they came to their senses, he Mom's tears brushed up again.Just like the rain now, it can't stop.Zhang Qiling couldn't speak, and hoped that Lao Tiao could save the situation, but he became dumb——Wu Xie, mother and son, remained silent.

In the end, it was Wu Yiqiong who pulled Mama Wu away and didn't ask right away. Old Itch followed her out for a while, and then went back to the kitchen, asking him to take Wu Xie back first.As soon as this sentence came out, and the expression on it, it was obvious that Lao Xie was also an insider—Wu Xie kept a hand in advance.

I don't know how long it has passed, but the rain has not diminished.He put his hands on the steering wheel, hesitated for a moment, and said, "You're impatient."

Wu Xie raised her head dully, turned around and stared at him: "You blame me?"

Zhang Qiling said: "I said earlier that today I just got to know each other."

Wu Xie said, "I can't fucking hold it anymore, are you unhappy?"

Zhang Qiling frowned: "Calm down first, don't be emotional."

"Why am I so emotional?" Wu Xie said, "I'm going all out, everything is ready, are you showing me face now?"

Zhang Qiling turned his head, took a deep look at him, put his eyes back to the front, and slammed the steering wheel with his hand.Wu Xie's complexion became even worse, and he stared at him firmly, as if looking at another person. After a while, he gritted his teeth and said, "I can get out now."

Zhang Qiling took a deep breath and said, "First of all, you are indeed reckless, have you discussed it with me?" After a pause, he still didn't look at him, "Secondly, you are being unreasonable at all now. Finally..."

"Discuss with you?" Wu Xie said, "I'm afraid of you shrinking, I'm afraid that you will be like this now, if you don't dare, I dare!"

Zhang Qiling's brows became tighter and tighter.

Wu Xie said: "You can leave if you're not happy—no, I'll leave. I haven't said who I like yet, but if you draw a line with me now, nothing will happen."

Zhang Qiling said: "I just want to ask you, have you considered the consequences?"

Wu Xie didn't make a sound, turned sideways to open the door, and broke the handle twice, but of course it couldn't be opened, and the door was locked.He thumped hard twice, with two muffled thumps, more fierce than the raindrops outside, and each hit hit Zhang Qiling's heart.Did he hold back, ignored the sight of him following him, and drove away.

Wu Xie stared at it for a while, and the thorns on his body seemed to gradually soften, and finally turned into hairs, sticking to his body with water, wrapping him up, making him feel cold.It was not very late, but because of the rain, there was very little traffic on the road, and the asphalt road was slippery. It seemed that people would fall down if they were not careful, and they would never get up again.Wu Xie wanted Zhang Qiling to slow down, swallowed the words, turned his head, and looked at the blurred street scene through the window covered by rain—clearly not crying, but like the world seen when tears blurred, dripping, broken.Many shops have been closed, only the street lights and neon signs are still operating, sporadically, like broken colored glass—but on this stormy night, this light is enough.

Xie Yuchen called when they were going upstairs.Wu Xie stood at the corner of the stairs listening, Zhang Qiling didn't continue walking, but stopped beside him.Almost all Xie Yuchen was saying was that Wu Xie had become a mute.After a while, I probably got annoyed, and replied a few bits and pieces—"I have my own thoughts." "It's not all of a sudden, I've been thinking about it for a long time."

Xie Yuchen's last sentence was a little loud, and Zhang Qiling heard it too.

"Have you considered the consequences?"

Like a basin of water being poured from the top of the head to the heels, Wu Xie fell silent again.

There was only one flight of stairs to go, so Zhang Qiling didn't stop at all, and took a step, intending to open the door first and put a tub of hot water in the bathroom.After walking two steps, I heard Wu Xie's voice, it was very soft, but the enunciation was very clear.

"Consider, I just think too much, that's why you feel so stupid."

After a pause in footsteps, Zhang Qiling went up, took out the key and opened the lock, left the door for Wu Xie, went to the bathroom to put hot water, vaguely heard the sound of the door closing, and his heart dropped.The sound of the water was splashing, a little noisy, covering the movement outside. He waited for a while until the water was full, put his hand in it to test the water temperature again, turned on the Yuba, turned around and was about to go out to have a look, Wu Xie had already I changed into my yukata and came in.

Ignoring his gaze, she walked straight to him, bent down to test the water temperature, took off her bathrobe, and stepped in naked.Hold the edge with both hands and sit down slowly, bend your knees, slide your buttocks slowly, and your upper body is gradually soaked in the water.The heat steamed the skin on his face red.He closed his eyes, dozed off for a few minutes, then opened them again, just in time to meet his gaze.

After all, no one can speak.In the end, Zhang Qiling looked away first, closed the door and walked out.

I don't want to argue anymore.

I went back to the room and turned on the computer, and opened the forum attached to the company's website. Gossip posts were piled up all over the place like rotten leaves. Even after turning a few pages, I couldn't find any powerful technical posts. In fact, even if there were, I probably couldn't read them.Close the window, log on to a private Weibo that hasn’t been opened for a week, dozens of tweets pop up, most of them are black glasses, rotten vegetables like forum gossip posts, after picking two, I’m not interested point.The remaining two are random photos taken by colleagues who were invited to leave the group last week. The girlfriend is also there. Aite has a lot of people in the department. The comments must be full of envy, jealousy and hatred.There are a few other entries, from Yuncai, Huo Ling, and a few female colleagues in the department, just ignore them.

The phone vibrated, and there was a new text message from an unfamiliar number.

[I will explain Ziyang, save it for a while]

I was taken aback for a moment, saved it immediately, and waited for the next text message, but after 10 minutes passed, there was no movement at all—just save it?

Texting is here again.

[Save 'Old Itch', just call me Old Itch]

Zhang Qiling replied one, just a "um".

Then I really didn't come again.Not negotiating with him - friendly?Glancing at the time, he immediately turned off the phone, went back to the bathroom, and took a casual shower with the basin next to the sink—the shower curtain was drawn, and Wu Xie could not be seen.Dry yourself and go back to the bedroom to sleep.Turning over twice, he became more and more energetic. The darkness can germinate something called fear, which can be magnified infinitely through the silence—his fear comes from the depths of his chest, and then let the darkness and silence catalyze and expand, becoming more and more powerful. The bigger it is, the whole person will be crushed.

Then the bathroom door rang.

Hearing the rhythmic sound of slippers stepping on the floor, getting closer and closer without a pause, the bedroom door was pushed open and closed again.Without turning on the light, he sat down on the other side of the bed, the mattress behind him sank, and the movement suddenly stopped.He resisted turning over, the darkness could speak, what was he saying in his heart—but he couldn't hear it.

Like the days and nights of the past eight years.

Wu Xie finally lay down, didn't move at first, then suddenly became agitated after a while, tossed and turned several times, torturing the mattress until it trembled like a shock.In the end, he didn't know which side to face, and suddenly stopped - a pair of hands wrapped around his waist from behind.Zhang Qiling's whole body froze, and the grip of his hands became tighter and tighter, as if they were going to strangle his waist.Immediately afterwards, Wu Xie's face was pressed against his back, and he could feel his rapid breathing through the thin racerback vest.

Then he heard a sentence.

"I just want to give you a home."

His whole heart was entangled, his eyes closed even tighter, and unconsciously, his hands clenched into fists.

"I thought the same way at first, but I'm not in a hurry for a year or two. I want to give my parents enough time to get to know you, get to know you, like you, and treat you like old Xie Yuchen, and then slowly hint to them that I don't like women... ..." Wu Xie bit him on the back, and said again, "After knowing that the woman in the bar was talking about you, I changed my mind. My parents are not unreasonable people, and it doesn't matter to my friends, keep it a secret for the rest of my life It's okay, if you change your job in the future, I don't care if they recognize it or not. It's best not to know, and not to let you be swayed. But it won't work with your parents...
