Wintering

"Relax...don't be afraid, I will be very light."

When Chen Yue just gently touched the tip of the hot towel to Mo Dong's still intact skin, he clearly felt the muscle underneath tense instantly, and it started to convulse slightly, and by the way, the wound next to him was pulled and torn, and the formed scab oozes blood. .

He had already put his strength to the minimum, but seeing Mo Dong's reaction, he always felt that he had struck hard.

Mo Dong's skin was very white, which made the mostly blue and purple bruises look even more ferocious. The whole back was broken, as if a piece of clean and brand-new rice paper was crumpled and torn.

Chen Yue carefully avoided those shocking scars, and wiped away the blood and gravel that hadn't been completely cleaned up in the hospital last time with a towel washed in warm water.

The cold white light from the bathroom shines down on the bright wet sweat stains on Mo Dong's back.

"Do you know it hurts now? Why don't you know it hurts when you fight with others?" Chen Yue still couldn't suppress the anger that had gradually risen.

He really couldn't figure out that with Mo Dong's temperament, he would fight with others and hurt himself like this.

He remembered that day when Mo Dong was clearly unconscious, but he was still holding on to a few pieces of broken jade.He recognized that thing, it was the Jade Avalokitesvara he had worn since he was a child, and he lost it a long time ago, why is it in Mo Dong's hands now?

Mo Dong seemed to be looking for something in the days after he woke up, and even sneaked out of the hospital while he was not paying attention.Chen Yue found him by the river, looking around alone with his head down, as if he had lost his soul.

At this moment, seeing Mo Dong not saying a word in the face of his questioning and not caring about his own body, the anger in his heart became more and more intense.

After finally holding the fire and wiping Mo Dong's back clean, he casually threw the towel on the sink, opened the door and went out.

Mo Dong turned his head to look at the towel that was stained with his own blood, after a moment of silence, he raised his hand to pick it up and threw it into the trash can.

Mo Dong's job search went smoothly. Chen Yue originally wanted to find a few friends to say hello, but he didn't expect that he was worrying too much.Once Mo Dong submitted his resume, several well-known companies in the area sent him interview notices, and within a few days he took the high-paying offers from them.

But Mo Dong finally chose a little-known small Internet company. Chen Yue also heard from a few friends in this industry that this small company called Nuanji was on the verge of bankruptcy, and even the boss ran away.Chen Yue mentioned the company's situation to Mo Dong once, but Mo Dong didn't seem to care.

Chen Yue still wanted to find some time to persuade Mo Dong, but during this time, he was working as a veterinary assistant in a pet hospital, and he had to learn a lot of new things every day, and he hadn't completely transformed from being a student, so he couldn't help it , the whole body is running at a high intensity, falling asleep when they get home at night, and catching the bus to work in the morning, and Mo Dong is also busy, so the two of them haven't spoken much for nearly a month.

After he finally stabilized, Mo Dong passed the internship period and was officially hired. Chen Yue couldn't say anything more. After all, this was Mo Dong's own choice, and he had no right to interfere.

After the adaptation period, the two spend more time together.When eating together, Chen Yue would ask Mo Dong a few things about work, and Mo Dong would answer them one by one. After eating, Chen Yue would wash the dishes.

Both of them tacitly agreed to each take half of the housework, usually take turns to buy vegetables, Mo Dong cooks, Chen Yue cleans the table, feeds the cat and cleans together, and sits on the sofa when they are free. Each person occupies one end, facing each other neither far nor near.

Chen Yue used the ipad to read documents, Mo Dong hugged the computer and typed codes, and the kitten sat on the imitation rabbit blanket and slid a ball of yarn.Sometimes the night breeze sends an unknown fragrance of flowers and plants from the window, filling the room with a dark fragrance.

The atmosphere is quiet and harmonious.

Chen Yue sometimes gets tired of reading, so he puts down the tablet and looks at Mo Dong who is staring at the screen quietly and intently, and the cat rolling on the ground. The warm orange light filters the picture in front of him like a dream. mirror.

My utopia.

He had such an idea at a certain moment.

Perhaps he had been looking at Mo Dong for too long, Mo Dong noticed it, raised his head from the computer, and asked him what was wrong with his eyes.

It was July, and the land that had been scorched by the scorching sun during the day quietly emitted the dry heat accumulated during the day after night fell, making the air extremely stuffy.

Chen Yue suddenly remembered how he had been exercised since returning to China, and his limbs felt restless and uncomfortable.The first choice for summer sports is naturally swimming.

So he suggested: "Mo Dong, let's go swimming sometime."

In fact, he had other thoughts hidden, he was really scared by Mo Dong's behavior of jumping into the river at every turn, so he just took this opportunity to teach Mo Dong to swim.

People who can swim will have the upper hand when facing death, and their survival instinct will prevail, and they will not drown no matter what.

Mo Dong has always been obedient to him, so he nodded without saying anything.

Chen Yue has always been a man of action, and he quickly found a venue, which is in the swimming pool of a high-end hotel near their community.Originally, the swimming pool was not open to the public, but it happened that the manager of this hotel had business dealings with Chen Yue's family, so he gave him a green card.

Chen Yue didn't plan to find a swimming coach for Mo Dong, because he taught himself.The provincial youth championship is not won for nothing, Chen Yue still has confidence in his skills.

After get off work, the two went swimming together.

There are not many people in the swimming pool, and there are almost no people after nine o'clock.

In the open-air swimming pool, under the black sky, the black and blue water waves are disturbed by the wind, and there are layers of water ripples.A row of night lights are turned on beside the pool wall, and the water light is reflected, shining brightly.

Chen Yue went into the water first, and when his whole body was submerged in the water, the heat provoked by Xia Ye was dissipated without a trace, and the pores all over his body were singing comfortably.

He is the best butterfly swimmer.

Mo Dong on the shore looked at the swimming pool, that person's body was undulating like a dolphin and making whip movements, the movements were smooth and graceful, and the splash of water burst out with passion, like a flying butterfly.

He slashed the water sharply, touched the wall flexibly, and went back and forth several times in a row. The swimming pool that was still silent just now was disturbed by him.

After Chen Yue finished the seventh back and forth, he lay down by the pool, looked up and saw Mo Dong staring at him blankly, smiled, showing a row of bright white teeth, which made people dizzy under the bright light. The magic power: "Swim down, you can't learn it just by watching."

As he said that, he stretched out his wet hand to grab Mo Dong's feet. Mo Dong was caught off guard by his pulling, and he threw himself into the pool.
