Wintering

It has been two days since the accident happened.

Chen Yue recalled the situation at that time and was still terrified.

After he hurried back to City A, he never dared to contact Mo Dong.Every time the phone rang, like a frightened bird, he anxiously looked at the caller's name first, and only dared to answer the call after confirming that the caller's name was not Mo Dong.

After four hours of trekking and thrilling encounters on the way, Chen Yue fell on the bed exhausted. He obviously hadn't slept for 45 hours since he got off the plane, but his nerves were always tense. , no sleepiness.

As soon as he closed his eyes, what happened two days ago appeared in his mind.

On that day, Chen Yue ended his two-year study abroad career and returned home on the same international flight with his friend Mo Dong.

Mo Dong is a friend he has known since he was a child. He lived in the same community with him. He even went abroad to study in high school and university. Both of them were in the same school.

Chen Yue is bright and generous, with a good family background. He always gathers a bunch of fun-loving friends around him, and they always hug each other wherever he goes.But among Chen Yue's many friends, Mo Dong is like an alien who doesn't fit in.

He seldom speaks, his long and thin sleeping eyes are half-closed all the year round, and his whole person seems to have a melancholy air shrouded in white mist, as if he is indifferent to everything in the world.Even at the KTV party where the lights are feasting and the people are drunk, when everyone else is drinking and changing glasses, he is sitting alone in the corner, looking down at the tempered glass table, not knowing what he is thinking.

When someone greeted him, he just nodded absently, and quickly turned his gaze back to the mirrored glass coffee table, where he could look at it all night without moving.No matter how noisy others are, it doesn't affect him at all.

But whenever Chen Yue talked to him, even in such a noisy environment in the box, he would raise those gentle and introverted single eyelids accurately and in time, and listened quietly, focused and serious.

He seldom shows extreme emotions or actions to others. Chen Yue has known him for so long, and he has hardly seen him laughing or angry. Even in the most embarrassing situation, he is still expressionless, with deep black eyes Like stagnant water.

So Chen Yue still couldn't believe that Mo Dong would make such a crazy move under such circumstances.

At that time, he was watching "Animal Pathology" with his Kindle. Most of the people around him were drowsy. Occasionally, there was the sound of children crying, but they were quickly silenced by the reprimands of their parents, and the cabin was quiet. Only the sound of breathing remained.

Chen Yue was tired of watching, put down his Kindle, pinched the bridge of his nose, felt a little bored for no reason, turned his head to look at Mo Dong who was sitting next to him, he had been looking out of the window quietly since getting on the plane, as if there was something interesting Scenic.

He looked out of the window curiously. They were on the night shift, and outside the glass window was a piece of darkness, and there was nothing.On the contrary, the blurred outlines of himself and Mo Dong were vaguely reflected on the glass mirror.

He looked away with little interest, yawned, and was about to put down the back of the chair to sleep, when an accident happened unexpectedly.

The fuselage suddenly violently jolted, the cabin immediately plunged into darkness, and the surrounding passengers were awakened. After a few seconds of silence, a burst of screams rang out, and people immediately realized what had happened. cries.

Several stewardesses slapped the back of the seat vigorously and repeated loudly, "Everyone, don't panic! Don't panic! It's normal! Calm down!" They tried their best to calm down the passengers, but to no avail. It is difficult for people to calm down when facing death. He even howled out in fright: "I want to go down! Umbrella! Umbrella! I want an umbrella!".

The chief purser hurriedly sent a broadcast: "Passengers, please don't panic. Now the plane encounters turbulence, and there will be some bumps ahead. Please sit down, fasten your seat belts, and don't walk around..."

Talking about it, the fuselage shook again, and with a "snap", something fell to the ground. Only then did Chen Yue react slowly, his hands were shaking so much that he couldn't even hold the Kindle.His mind was in a mess, his ears were filled with the noise of cries for help, and his heart was pounding.

After his mind was blank at first, the ensuing fear and reluctance tightly strangled his neck like a big net.At that moment, countless pictures flashed in his mind, those of friends, relatives, and the kitten that was about to be shipped back to China, and there were many, many things that he hadn't had time to do.

He suddenly remembered that Mo Dong was sitting next to him, and quickly reached out to touch him, calling him breathlessly: "Mo Dong, Mo Dong, how are you?" He was worried that Mo Dong's emotions would lose control, even though he couldn't even breathe. He was trembling, but he still grabbed Mo Dong's hand, "It's okay, we'll be fine..." I don't know whether to tell Mo Dong or listen to himself.

The turbulence of the plane lasted for too long, and there were even faint signs of weightlessness. The restlessness of the passengers next to him actually began to subside. Everyone was desperately chanting prayers or their loved ones.

Chen Yue held Mo Dong's somewhat cold hand tightly, and in the midst of these painful and nostalgic whispers, his mood calmed down strangely.

The roar of the engine was getting louder and louder, no one paid any attention to the reassurance of the stewardesses, everyone knew that there was an accident when getting off the plane, and when death really approached step by step, in extreme despair, Chen Yue closed the door instead He closed his eyes and waited for fate to judge him.

In front of fate, people are just humble ants.

Why choose this flight?If he left one day earlier or one day later...Mo Dong...Mo Dong's ticket was also bought with his help...he was plunged into endless regret.

Suddenly, Chen Yue felt that something warm and soft was stuck to his lips, and his thin exhaled air sprayed onto his face, bringing a damp and cold feeling.

He was startled, opened his eyes quickly, and at the same time stretched out his hand to push the man away, but he didn't expect that his hands were firmly clamped.

Regardless of his struggle, the man became more presumptuous, and even stuck out his tongue to lick his lips. The numbness made Chen Yue's limbs tremble uncontrollably.

When he realized that the person who forcibly kissed him was Mo Dong, his mind suddenly exploded and went blank, he couldn't even think.

All the channels of perception with the outside world seemed to be closed, and all the attention was focused on the friction of the four organs.

I don't know how long it took, suddenly there was a burst of applause around, and there were excited noisy voices, as if he had been awakened suddenly, he regained consciousness, and struggled to break away from Mo Dong's hand, only to hear the radio saying: "Every passenger, the plane is now flying!" It's safe now, please don't panic..."

He leaned back on the chair exhausted, his T-shirt was almost drenched in cold sweat, sticking to his body profusely.After great sorrow and great joy, the feeling of regaining new life is like stepping on a cloud, with a sense of vertigo that feels relieved and light.

For the next 2 hours, he didn't dare to look at Mo Dong, subconsciously kept a distance, turned his body slightly, and didn't even dare to meet his gaze, for fear that Mo Dong would ignore him again and do what he did just now.

What did the kiss just mean? Chen Yue didn't dare to think about it until he returned to City A. He suddenly felt that it was so absurd. He even thought that he was hallucinating because of extreme fear.But the tear on his lip told him it was real.

When he got off the plane, he didn't even dare to say goodbye to Mo Dong, he just picked up his luggage and fled in embarrassment.

Before Chen Yue returned to China, he asked his friends in city A to find a house for him in advance, which was near a pet hospital.

After he got off the plane, he went to the air terminal to pick up the kitten. After spending two days in the rental house, the director of the pet hospital called to ask him when he would go to work.

Chen Yue majored in veterinary medicine and obtained a licensed veterinary doctor one year before graduation.He has a friend who is the son of the director of the largest pet hospital in city A, so he wants to pull him over and promises him a pretty good entry-level salary.

But at that time, Chen Yue wanted to study abroad, so he didn't agree with him.In the end, before he graduated with a master's degree, that friend had already taken over his father's position as the dean, so he couldn't wait to send him an offer again, as if he was afraid that he would be snatched away by someone else if he was too late.

Chen Yue was wiping the kitten's butt when he received his call.

He picked up the kitten on the road when he was studying in the UK. At that time, it was lying on the side of the road, and cars were speeding by. It was shivering like a small white ball of cotton, and it didn’t know what to do. Avoid passing cars.

Fearing that it would be run over, Chen Yue picked it up, only to find that the kitten could barely move its hind legs.Chen Yue could tell that this kitten must have been born with a deficiency, and was paralyzed at birth, so it was abandoned by the cat mother on the side of the road.

The kitten's hind legs are shrinking, and Chen Yue needs to gently wipe the anus with a soft towel to strengthen the peristalsis of the rectum even to defecate. It is less than a month old and needs to be fed every two hours.So Chen Yue put it in a cage and took it with him even in class.Before returning home, let the airline that specializes in transporting pets bring it to China.

Chen Yue patiently and skillfully wiped the kitten's butt repeatedly with a towel, and massaged the kitten's belly gently with his fingers until it finally expelled the formed poop. After turning his head, he answered the phone that rang three times.

"Yo, are you finally willing to take it?"

Jiang Yanzhou hummed on the phone, insulted Chen Yue a few words in a strange way, and asked him, "Can you invite your old man to come out of the mountain next Monday?"

Chen Yue laughed: "Dean Jiang has come in person, how dare I refuse?"

After Jiang Yanzhou scolded him cursingly, he took the dean's tone and explained some employment matters, and asked, "Shouhou and the others heard that you came back, and they all clamored to clean you up. When is it convenient for you? Let's find a place to meet up."

Chen Yue said with a smile: "You decide, I'm free these few days."

"OK."

Before hanging up the phone, Chen Yue stopped him, but couldn't get the words out of his mouth, he hesitated for a while before asking: "Have you been in contact with... Mo Dong recently?"

"Mo Dong? No! Didn't he return to China with you just a few days ago? Why, you can't contact him now?"

"no……"

Chen Yue didn't understand what kind of mentality he was in now.

These years, he has always regarded Mo Dong as his good brother. Although their personalities seem to be completely incompatible, in Chen Yue's opinion, Mo Dong is the friend he gets along with the most comfortably.When he was with Mo Dong, he didn't need to worry about his words and deeds, and he didn't need to put a smile on his face all the time. Instead, he was the one who received care and attention.

He often goes out to play with a group of friends. On the way there, groups of friends call for friends, lively and lively. After the party is over, after friends leave one by one, he sees the messy and deserted room, and always feels in his heart. There is a kind of uncomfortable feeling that the music is over.At this time, it must be Mo Dong who is still by his side.

At the end of many parties at night, it was Mo Dong who accompanied him through one street after another, waiting for the train back to school at one subway station after another.

If there is anyone Chen Yue wants to be friends with for a lifetime, it must be Mo Dong.He never doubted it.

But Mo Dong's kiss made him flustered all of a sudden.

Although Chen Yue has never dated a woman, he has watched a lot of porn with his roommates. He is sure that he is a straight man.

When he was studying abroad, he would sometimes go to the bar with a group of local guys on weekends. It’s not like he never met a beautiful blonde gay to strike up a conversation with, whether it’s a pure 1 with a strong body and smooth muscles, or a feminine and male Difficult little shou, he and his little brother really have no idea at all.

In the past two days, he recalled many details of getting along with Mo Dong, trying to find some unusual clues, but he recalled it over and over again for a long time, except for the one on the plane, Mo Dong has not done anything for so many years. They didn't even hold hands when they did anything beyond friendship, even when Chen Yue went to pull Modong's arm, he reacted violently as if he was splashed by scalding boiling water.

The more I think about it, the more incredible it becomes.

Chen Yue also knew that the best solution now should be to quietly fade out of each other's social circle tacitly.

But when he thought of this, Chen Yue felt unspeakably uncomfortable, and his heart ached.

Chen Yue hunched over, sat on the bed, stared at the phone in his hand, and rested his fingertips on the top of the contact interface, hesitating for a long time, rehearsing what he was going to say to Mo Dong in his mind, after seven or eight times, he still didn't agree. Satisfied, he tossed the phone aside irritably.

The little white cat was playing in the bed, and was attracted by the movement next to it. It crawled towards the square object, poked its little claws curiously on the object, and by coincidence, it connected to Mo Dong's phone. Telephone.
