The neighborhood is very quiet, and the sporadic lights of every household light up the peaceful night one by one, lightly reflecting the white snow on the treetops.

Bai Yuze let Xie Zhe hold his shoulders and walked towards the door of one of the units. After taking the elevator up to the eighth floor, he followed him into the home he had never visited before.

The house is a clean and tidy two-bedroom suite, and Xie Zhe usually lives alone.Bai Yuze only knew that his parents were working in other places and were very busy, so they basically adopted a free-ranging attitude towards their son.Their family also had a much larger house in the city where his parents worked. Although Xie Zhe was always evasive, Bai Yuze guessed that it was probably a villa like a local tyrant.

I once asked him why he went to such lengths to not study in a place where his parents stayed well.Xie Zhe just smiled, his teeth were white. "I can't let it go," he said.

"What can't you let go?" Bai Yuze was only more puzzled after hearing this.

——I can't let you go.Xie Zhe thought so in his heart, but at that time he just smiled and said nothing.

Well, forget it.In fact, it is not a kind of happiness not to know.

"You sit in the living room and watch TV first, and I'll make some noodles for you." Xie Zhe rolled up his sleeves and walked to the kitchen after hanging up his coat. "I haven't had time to buy ingredients this week, so I can only make do with it. Yes Now, would you like something to drink?"

Bai Yuze was silently folding the coat that Fir Shan borrowed from him, raised his head and forced a smile at him. "Well...give me a cup of hot water, it's still a bit cold."

When Xie Zhe heard the words, he immediately brought water and handed it over, and even touched his forehead. "Could it be that you're going to be sick?" Before Bai Yuze could deny it, he hurriedly went to adjust the geothermal heat.

After everything was done, Xie Zhe went back to the kitchen with satisfaction, and while pouring water into the pot, he said relaxedly, "You don't have to be restrained here, just like in the dormitory. You can do whatever you want. If you want to live in the future, you are always welcome."

"...Thank you, Xie Zhe." Bai Yuze just sat quietly on the sofa and whispered without turning on the TV. The gorgeous chandelier above his head filtered mottled and overlapping light and shadows on his face.

I don't know why Xie Zhe's chest suddenly felt a little panicked, and he stopped making a sound and concentrated on his face.

After more than ten minutes, the noodles are cooked.

Shredded ham was sprinkled in Bai Yuze's bowl of noodles, and a candied egg was laid on top.Xie Zhe knew that he didn't like chopped green onion and coriander, so he didn't put it on purpose.Compared with my bowl, it was much simpler. It was veritable clear water vermicelli, with nothing but noodles and soup.

The two sat at the dining table facing each other, Bai Yuze looked at the tempting bowl of steaming noodles in front of him with a little surprise, and couldn't help admiring: "Hey... This is the first time I eat something made by you. I didn't expect that. , it looks like you don't know how to do housework at all."

"Hey...it wouldn't be possible." Xie Zhe raised his eyebrows triumphantly, resting his chin to watch him put the first chopsticks noodles into his mouth, his expression instantly became extremely enjoyable and memorable.He knew he liked it, so he was relieved. "A person is used to living alone, if he can't, he must know."

Just like that person.

Whether it is a luxurious life, or a meager family relationship in name only - they can all be left behind and ignored.

Slowly learn to take care of your own affairs independently, hold back the original sharp edge, and try to get rid of the shadow of being a second-generation ancestor—it turns out that change can really be as simple as that.But only for one person.

Unknowingly, his eyes became softer, Xie Zhe didn't move his chopsticks, just quietly watched Bai Yuze gobble it up, and when his bowl was almost bottomed out, he said in a soft voice: "...after eating, go home Give me a call." The tone was almost coaxing, as if he was afraid that he would not agree.

The chopsticks only paused for a moment, and then went on to pick up the ham that was missing from the bottom of the bowl.Xie Zhe thought he was silently refusing, but the young man obediently responded after Yoyo picked up the last piece of meat: "...OK."

Just because of a quarrel, making the family members worry about their own safety just because of a quarrel is something that ignorant children will do.He's long past that age of willfulness.What Bai Yuze wanted to convey to his mother over the phone was only his intention to be alone.Both sides need to calm down and reflect.Until then, it's better not to meet each other for the time being.

Sure enough, the conversation between him and his family after the meal was very peaceful, and there were no other disputes.Mother Bai felt relieved when she heard that he would live in Xie Zhe's house, and hung up after a few simple instructions.Although neither party said a word of apology on the phone, the tone of their tone has softened, and they have euphemistically expressed their introspection to each other.

"How? Did you feel better after the communication?" Xie Zhe poked his head out while washing the dishes and asked with a smile.

Bai Yuze also hooked his lips and smiled. "Well. Much stronger."

"That's right." Xie Zhe replied, washed his hands with soap, and came out of the kitchen with a towel in his hand. "By the way, do you want to sleep in a big house or a small house tonight, or do we sleep together?" As he spoke, his tone became frivolous again, and he put his hands around Bai Yuze's waist dishonestly, but as a result, he was ruthlessly broken free.

"I'm not going to sleep with you. The devil knows what nasty things you can do while I'm asleep." Bai Yuze turned away in disgust, "I'll just sleep in the hut."

"Tch..." Unable to hide the disappointment on his face, Xie Zhe followed behind him with a persistent attitude, "Then I will show you my room—there are many kinds of 'readings before bedtime'—"

The two were chattering and joking in the room, and it was getting late.

Bai Yuze pretended to be fierce and drove Xie Zhe out of the room, who was trying to seize the last ray of hope and stayed on the bed. Then he breathed a sigh of relief in the middle of the quiet room, and frowned depressedly at the math books on the entire wall.

Why didn't I realize that this kid loves mathematics so much?It seems absolutely human.

Of course, in Bai Yuze's dictionary, "ordinary person" refers to a normal human being.

So Bai, who was stimulated, held Xie Zhe's collection of books and immersed himself in reading hard this night, and finally succeeded in being hypnotized by the Olympiad periodical. When he fell asleep, he was still clutching the pages of the magazine loosely.

When it was close to eleven o'clock, Xie Zhe tiptoed through the door and came in.The lights in the room were still on, and the people on the bed were already sound asleep.Seeing this, he first gently pulled out the magazine in Bai Yuze's hand and put it on the table, then carefully tucked up the corner of the quilt for him, and finally stared quietly at the boy's sleeping face under the dim warm light of the desk lamp.

……Why.That's too bad.

If I hadn't fallen in love with you, the current me——would be completely different.

In different cities, in different schools, he lived a completely different life from that of Xie Zhe here and now.

After paying so much, I thought that no one would have the ability to snatch you away from me, but I still lost.That was the first time in my life that I failed miserably.

Knowing that there is no hope, but when I saw a glimmer of hope that we could be together, I still ran towards you without hesitation.

I actually just want to be by your side. ...

I don't know how long it took, Xie Zhe finally lowered his body slowly, and very lightly kissed the sleeping boy's side face.

Outside the window, it is the lonely long night in the early winter of the year.Those sprouts born in the spring mud have already experienced the nourishment of the midsummer rain, survived the bitter wind and rain in autumn, and finally disappeared in the deep snow sea.After the long silence, it is only waiting for the recovery of all things in the coming year, the grass grows and the warblers fly, and then a new round of rebirth will be ushered in.

Who once said that young love is like catkins flying all over the sky.Light, wandering, confused, I don't know where I'm going, yet persistent and arrogant.

Just as love does not know where it started, it goes deeper and deeper.

The business of the bar on the eve of the weekend will be exceptionally good, and this day is no exception.

When it was approaching midnight, Yao Lu stepped into the door of the bar. This time, he did not ignore Gu Mingye who was standing by the door in a daze. Instead, he walked in together with a smile on his shoulders. "Come in, come in, don't stand in the wind in such a cold day, I'm in a good mood, I invite you to have a few drinks."

The young waiter immediately blushed, struggled slightly and stammered: "I, I still have to stand guard..."

"Puchi" burst into laughter, and Yao Lu did not hide the flamboyant smile on his face: "Standing guard? I am still on guard! Don't be so stubborn, can you? I have been friends with Lao Qi for a long time, so I don't believe he still Dare to argue with me about this." He dragged him into the hall without any explanation.

There were so many people in the bar, but they were all sitting in their seats and it was very quiet, because the boy in black on the stage had already started singing.Today's finale is the desolate and sad "JustOneDance".

Recently, Yao Lu would occasionally come to the bar for a drink or two when he was free, and he sang with Fir Tree more than once or twice, but today was the first time he heard such a steep and moving high note from him.Naturally good voice ah.

Although he was still a little upset in his heart, Yao Lu had to admit that this kid's singing skills were superb, and he could compete with him.

Dragging Gu Mingye all the way through the narrow aisle, I saw Boss Qi listening fascinatedly behind the bar while mixing drinks, and inadvertently raised his eyes to see the two of them coming, and waved his hands happily.

"Seeing that your happy mouth is grinning to the back of your head, you are happier than marrying a wife." Yao Lu sneered and sat in front of the stage, not forgetting to press Gu Mingye to her side. "The thing you are mixing, give us a cup first. If you don't drink for nothing today, give us money."

"Okay——" Boss Qi said, and pushed two glasses of yellow cocktails over neatly. He didn't care much about Gu Mingye's skipping work, so he just muttered a few words and let it go.On the contrary, Gu Mingye looked embarrassed and lowered his voice in embarrassment: "But... I don't know how to drink..."

"What?!" Yao Lu had already finished off the hot wine in one gulp, and turned to look at him incredulously. "Brother, are you over 21 this year?"

Gu Mingye was so embarrassed that he couldn't speak, and felt extremely embarrassed in his heart.As a graduating college student, isn't it embarrassing not to drink alcohol?

Boss Qi couldn't stand it at this moment, frowned and knocked on the head of Yao Lu, who spoke freely, "Don't bully others, Xiao Gu is no better than you, he is very simple."

"Yes yes yes, I'm sorry, I'm sorry—" Yao Lu also knew how to accept it as soon as it was good, and didn't want to embarrass Gu Mingye any more. He only drank half of the glass of wine in front of him, and handed it to him Shi Shiran, with bright eyes Presumptuous smile. "Then just drink half a glass. Don't worry, if you get drunk, I will take you back to my house to sleep."

As if getting an electric shock all over his body, he suddenly opened his eyes wide and stared blankly at the bewitching side face of the person beside him. Gu Mingye's heart jumped uncontrollably, his hand that took the wine glass trembled slightly, and his mind was naively entangled in his words Is it serious or just a joke. ——No, even if you are serious, you can't just go with him so casually!

Gu Mingye stared bitterly at the glass of liquid that could kill him like special effect dichlorvos in his eyes, and fought fiercely, while Yao Lu had already diverted his attention to ask Boss Qi for a refill.Seeing him skillfully mixing the wine, Yao Lu suddenly remembered something, and said casually, "By the way, do you still keep the synthesizer I left in the shop?"

Boss Qi thought about it for a while, then let out a sudden "Oh". "That. After you left, I put it in the warehouse as a souvenir. People who understand the business say it's worth tens of thousands."

Yao Lu was quite proud, "That's necessary. Back then, because of that thing, I—" Stopping the conversation in time, Yao Lu swallowed the second half of the sentence.He didn't want to mention those broken pasts again, and he didn't want anyone to mourn for him.

Seeing the self-deprecating arc on his lips, Boss Qi also fell silent.At this time, an empty glass tremblingly stretched out from between the two of them. Gu Mingye coughed and blushed and said in pain, "Give me...a glass of water..."

Scared by his appearance, the two quickly turned around and poured water for him. "I'll go... If you really can't drink, don't be brave! Do you want to go home with me like that?" Yao Lu was funny and annoying, threatening with evil intentions: "I'll let you know in advance, I've been familiar with it since I was seven years old. S [uh huh] the mystery of M."

It was said that Gu Mingye's coughing became more severe, and he looked quite drunk, and he was about to lose consciousness as he limply lay on the bar counter.Seeing this, Boss Qi rubbed Yao Lu's head again, "Look, your boy will cause trouble for me! What should we do now? Can you really take him away tonight? Anyway, I'm not responsible."

Yao Lu said slowly and calmly: "That's not possible. The first time in the Lun family is reserved for the person in love." Immediately, he was beaten again.Seeing that he was almost out of anger, Boss Qi returned his arms and said leisurely: "You can leave if you want to raise your ass, but you have to promise to do me a favor." This obviously long-planned posture is swollen.

"Besides being a perverted middle-aged uncle's hard-pressed [hmm] slave to vent his desires, I can consider other things." Yao Lu nodded solemnly, looking as if he deserved more beatings.Boss Qi ignored him, and unquestionably pointed a finger at his nose, "You, from now on, you will come to my place regularly to teach the little boy on the stage to play the piano and teach him to sing."

"Fuck!! Why!!!" Sure enough, Yao Lu jumped up from his seat and immediately became furious.

How did the topic go around that? !

"Because I was your Bole back then, and just now you called your Bole a pervert." Boss Qi was unwavering.

"I object! I don't have any money!" Yao Lu was struggling hysterically, "You think I'm so cheap? Let him kneel down and beg me, and then kowtow to pay homage to his teacher!"

"...Are you kidding me?" Just as they were talking, Leng Shan quietly appeared behind them at some point, with a very disdainful tone. "You are not the only one who is unwilling."

"What?!" Yao Lu turned his head suddenly with his eyes splitting, "Say it again?? I'm going, it's your blessing to be able to stand up behind my buttocks with Lord Lu. Come! Do you understand the stinky brat who doesn’t know the heights of the sky and the earth?!”

"Then it's settled," upon hearing this, Boss Qi seized the opportunity to make a final decision. "It's better to start tonight. It just so happens that Xiao Leng came late today, and there is still more than half an hour before the end time. You guys go to the back to discuss and learn from each other."

"Discuss your sister." Yao Lu turned his head and was about to leave, "I won't do it."

However, before he took two steps, he was hugged softly by a person from behind.Looking back with a dead face, he saw Gu Mingye blingbling at him with a kind of aggrieved, confused and pitiful eyes unique to drunkenness, "Take me home..."

...Yao Lu completely collapsed.

The storage room behind the bar.

"Wrong, wrong, there is a wrong sound in the seventh measure! Damn, how many times has this happened? Do it again."

"Can't your ears and hands work at the same time? The central nervous system is broken? The rhythm of my singing obviously doesn't match your tempo, right?"

"...Brother, have you really played the piano for ten years before? Where is the foundation, where is the foundation?"

"Forget it, step aside, I'll show you one more time...for the last time!"

"...Leng Shan, classmate Leng, Uncle Leng! Just tell me, how long have you abandoned the sacred career of playing the piano?" Finally, Yao Lu put his forehead in front of the synthesizer and slapped the keyboard hard twice. "Didn't your teacher tell you that if you don't play for three days - no, will you give birth if you don't play for one day?"

Fir Shan looked very calm. After a little thought, he raised his eyes and gave the answer: "...More than a year."

Yao Lu looked at him in despair, and then slowly nodded twice after a while. "Very good. You are indeed a little angel sent by God to torture me."

"...If you feel hopeless, don't force it."

"You know I'm forcing it?! I've never seen someone who forgets so quickly! How about you can still sing, huh?"

"Since you want to teach," Fir Shan slid his fingertips unhurriedly across the smooth keyboard one by one, "you have to guarantee that I will sing better than you in the future. If you can't, at least let me play the same song as before. Come level. Two options."

Yao Lv trembled angrily, but had no words to refute.Are facial paralyzed people all so hateful in nature? !

Calm down, calm down—taking two deep breaths, Yao Lu managed to control her emotions and said, "I'll just pull my face down and tell the truth, in fact, you've already sung very well."

"Not as good as you."

"No, you have already surpassed me—as far as love songs are concerned." Yao Lu caressed the familiar piano keys in front of him, and the anger in his eyes was gradually being replaced by softly flowing nostalgia.Many past events swim through the long river of time, but they can only be remembered and never return.

"I haven't really loved anyone, so I can't sing that type of song well. After a long time, after I gave up on myself, I never sang a love song. But you are different...you have someone you like in your heart. "

Fir Shan paused and remained silent.

Yao Lu had a panoramic view of his reaction, and squinted her eyes in complacency. "—I can see it. It's not just liking...but a deeper and more lonely feeling. What's that idiom called, unforgettable?...It's all hidden in your song and sung."

After pondering for a moment, he raised his face and smiled lightly, "The one you like must be a man..."

Leng Shan quickly turned her head to look into his determined eyes, her face was full of vigilance and hostility - even if it was only for a moment, Yao Lu could see it clearly.He knew that his intuition was never wrong.

"Because..." The dim light above his head made Yao Lu's exquisite eyebrows and eyes into distorted outlines, soft and unreal.

"...If it was just a crush, your singing wouldn't hurt so much."
