nib boy
Chapter 47
Because of hardly any sleep the night before, it was already bright when Ning Ziyue opened his eyes.Yuzu was probably hungry enough, but she didn't make a noise, but lay down beside the bed and obediently waited for her master to wake up.
I wish what happened last night was just a dream.
He pressed against his slightly sore temple, and his mind was looping frame by frame of the man's face that no longer had a smile on his face, staring fixedly at him.
Pushing open the door with a heavy heart, without even having time to prepare mentally, Yao Lu happened to be standing in the living room looking up at him, holding a large flat cardboard box in his arms, looking darkly at him with heavy emotions. Not clear.
"...Come down for lunch. I ordered pizza outside. By the way, you are not allergic to seafood, right? I will pay for your medical bills after food poisoning."
Ning Ziyue was stunned for a few seconds when he heard the words, before he said in a daze, "Hmm...not allergic."
Standing by the side of the escalator and watching the boy turn and walk into the restaurant with a complicated expression, he wanted to stop him for a moment, but then he thought that he really didn't know what to say now.
"I asked you to do this, what do you mean?..."
Yao Lu, who questioned him in such a deep voice, seemed to be a different person from the calmly joking guy just now.I can't tell the difference, but Ning Ziyue just feels that something is different.
However, even if he wanted to get to the bottom of it, as long as he met his gaze, he would think of the hurt eyes that had been stripped of the cover of night.
So, more silent.
It was impossible for the other party not to notice his strangeness, and it was this unspoken attitude that exacerbated his unspeakable subtle agitation.
At the dinner table, the two never mentioned anything about last night or anything related to Quan Yue.Ning Ziyue knew that things had happened to this point and he was no longer qualified to talk about leaving, and Yao Lu was even less likely to let him go-but he didn't clamor to use the USB flash drive to change the poison.
For the brief period that followed, both men acted as if nothing had happened.During the day, Yao Lu went to school as usual, but every night she had to climb over the wall from school and come back home. The reason is self-evident.Ning Ziyue stayed in the house day after day, struggling with his body.But he didn't know what Quan Yue had put in the wine. Recently, the interval between seizures was getting shorter and shorter, and he couldn't bear the pain.But in front of Yao Lu, he never showed anything wrong.
In the middle of the night, drug addiction gnawed at his internal organs again like a hundred ants.Every time at this time, he felt as if he was no longer himself, but like a trapped beast that had lost its sharp teeth and claws.The most frightening thing is that he found that he gradually developed a tendency to self-harm, and even wanted to hurt others.
Curled up, trembling, hissing, his suppressed voice was full of despair and struggle.The frosty moonlight spilled on the corner of the bed through the window, and he forced himself to keep staring at it, telling himself that it was nothing and it would pass soon.
And when the pain really subsided, it was almost two hours later.
He lay on the floor for a long time in a collapsed state, feeling that he couldn't even lift his fingers.Until his senses gradually changed from being dominated by drugs to his own, he felt that his whole body was soaked in sweat, which was particularly sticky and uncomfortable in the sultry summer night.
So he stood up by supporting the foot of the bed, staggered and planned to go out to take a shower.The moment the door opened, he was keenly aware of the existence of another person within walking distance.He took a step back vigilantly in the darkness, but the man didn't seem to notice it, and sat quietly by the door with one leg propped up, his slightly long hair covering his eyebrows and eyes.
"Yao Lu?" Ning Ziyue called tentatively, feeling uneasy.
When did he sit here, and how long has he been listening silently outside the door?
"……sorry."
It took a long time to get a response, but the other party's words were mixed with suspicious trills, Ning Ziyue was inexplicably flustered, and hurriedly knelt down to check. "you--"
"...I'm too capricious, I'm sorry." Yao Lu turned her head away not to let him see her face, her eyelashes were already wet, her fists were clenched tightly, and her voice was dry.
"I didn't know that you would have to endure this kind of torture...I just thought that you would never be allowed to go to that kind of prison." He seemed to have finally made up his mind, propped his knees on his forehead, and closed his eyes in pain.
"...Go to the drug rehabilitation center. I will accompany you. As I said, you will not be left alone."
Ning Ziyue stared at him silently, feeling the thin shoulders under his hands shivering like a small animal in winter.A strange emotion rushed through the atrium suddenly like an electric current.
want to hug.
It doesn't matter if you get stabbed.
If blood can warm this person at this moment.
He touched the ground with his knees, silently stretched out his arms and wrapped the thin man in front of him tightly in his arms.But the other party still didn't resist or respond.
It was so quiet at night, each other's breathing could be heard clearly.
"I don't apologize for my actions that night, but I want to take responsibility for it."
When finally let go of him, Ning Ziyue said so.Probably shocked by his unprecedented serious tone, Yao Lu blinked blankly until the other party approached and kissed his lips lightly. The cold moonlight in the corridor and the black and white three-dimensional face lost all color.But he sat stiffly on the spot and didn't dare to move. He thought it was strange, and his face was hot uncontrollably.
"You—what the hell are you...?"
"Yao Lu. No matter what you think, I..." Ning Ziyue paused, his swamp-like deep eyes seemed to be waiting for someone to sink deep in the dark night. "I can't promise you any future, but I want to be your reliance....Will you wait for me?"
Yao Lu grabbed his clothes tightly from the beginning to the end, without saying a word, but Ning Ziyue saw the mist in his eyes for the first time.
——Actually, I have been waiting for someone to take me away.
How do you know, I am waiting for you.
When it was daylight, the two people who had been sitting next to each other all night were woken up by the light at the same time, and could no longer fall back asleep.
"Let's go now?" Yao Lu asked tentatively.
Ning Ziyue turned to look at him and shook his head. "...stay a little longer."
But it didn't take long.They had to leave before Yao's father and Yao's mother woke up.
Walking on the sparsely populated streets in the early morning, both of them were silent, and the atmosphere became more and more stalemate as the destination approached.Later Ning Ziyue took the initiative to shake his hand, Yao Lu walked a little slower, looked up at him without flinching.
When did it start?The trajectories of our lives gather and separate, separate and rejoin, and finally overlap.
In silence, the boy went through the first time.
Come to this moment to meet and give each other the strength to maintain.
It seems to be burning continuously, but the flames are burning separately.
Burn each other and shine on each other.
The entrance of the compulsory drug rehabilitation center.
"I can only send it here." Saying this, Yao Lu didn't seem to have any intention of leaving.
The huge gray and white building seemed to be still asleep, lifeless.
Ning Ziyue nodded silently, turned around and was about to walk in.
"Ning Ziyue!"
He turned his head and stopped.
The man was still looking at him from the original position, biting his lip stubbornly.The sun was pouring down from the sky, just staying behind him, so dazzling.
"...I'll wait for you. For as long as you want. For as many years as you want."
They stared for a long time from a distance that was not too long, watching the steel retractable door between them creak and groan, and finally slowly closed.
There was such a heavy sound.deafening.
From then on, even if there is a wall between them, it is still close to each other.
Yao Lu groped in his trouser pocket, and slowly squatted down at the gate, as if he had guarded his door all night last night.
The call was quickly connected.
"Hey, Xie Er." He forced his lips to meet the rising sun, his eyes were sour like never before.
"... Invite me to dinner later. OK?"
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
On the second day after Ning Ziyue left, Yao Lu went to the police station to hand over the evidence left by Boss Qi before his death, saying that someone should be sent to arrest Quan Yue as soon as possible.
There was also an old friend of Yao's father among the people present at the time, and that person talked to Yao Lu in private, saying that this matter is very difficult to handle, and if he is not careful, he will easily get burned.
"If you want to clear up the relationship, money is not a problem. Besides, even if Quan Yue sends someone to kill me, I will admit it." The young man stated calmly without blinking an eye. "I just ask uncle, for the sake of meeting my father, you must bring him to justice and let me die in peace."
The elder sighed helplessly when he heard the words, and did not express his opinion.As expected, Father Yao soon found out about the news.However, after returning home, he only asked his troublesome son a word.
"Have you thought about the possible consequences of this report?"
"...Yes. I have to do it." He felt that his eyes had never been so firm, but it was only for a person who trusted him wholeheartedly.
If it's for him, I'm willing to take any risk.
Father Yao nodded silently, turned around and went back to his room.The matter was never mentioned again.But Yao Lu knew that as long as his father made a statement, there would be basically no injustice.The reason, probably exactly the same as myself.
Because it was something the only son had made up his mind to do, no matter what risks lay ahead, as a father, he would not hesitate to take them for him.
Nearly a month later, when the school's final exams were coming to an end, Yao Lu finally learned from the special report that Quan Yue and a series of high-level forces behind him had been brought down in one fell swoop.Quan Yue himself was finally sentenced to death.
At that time, he was sitting in front of the TV drinking coffee, while Yao's mother was squatting in the corner of the living room, babbling and feeding the cat.There was a sudden loud sound of broken porcelain, which echoed in the empty villa for a long time.
Yao's mother was taken aback, and hurriedly turned her head to look at the source of the sound: "What's wrong? What trouble did you get into again?"
The scalding black coffee spilled every drop on the boy's legs, but Yao Lu stared blankly at the TV screen without realizing it, with a pile of shards of cups under his feet.
"Ah, why are you so careless, kid! How old is this TV? I'm so fascinated by it that I've dropped my glass." Yao's mother walked over half worried and half complaining to clean up the mess. He took a towel soaked in cold water and spread it on his lap. "Is it hot? Is it better now?"
Only then did Yao Lu come back to life, and faltered: "Uh...um. I'm fine, Mom, really." During this period, he still kept his eyes on the TV.
It was as if a big rock had finally fallen in my heart, but it felt unreal in a trance.After conflicting for a long time, he still decided to go to the study to check with his father, but was stopped by Yao's mother.
"Don't bother your dad, he's still asleep. I don't know what I've been busy with these days. I go out before dawn, come back in the middle of the night, and then fall asleep without saying a word. It's been almost a month , This is the first time I can sleep soundly. Ask him what the hell he is doing, but he hides it and refuses to say, do you think your dad doesn't love me anymore? "
Yao Lu lowered her head and squeezed the towel on her lap tightly, her chest was hot, and she had mixed feelings for a moment.
It's a pity that I am awkward, and I can't say embarrassing words like "thank you" if I want to.
After Yao's mother finished talking, seeing that he was really fine, she went back to the corner and continued tinkering with grapefruit. "Speaking of which, your friend moved away as soon as he said he would, without saying hello, and even ignored his own cat. It's rare that I like him quite a bit. The young man looks calm and polite. You usually learn more from others. Learning, bluffing all day long, who would like to be with you in the future."
"You. It's useless to worry about it." The young man was speechless for a few seconds, then smiled slightly, got up and walked to the floor-to-ceiling window, staring at a point in the east for a long time, whispering softly.
"...After all, your son might be kidnapped someday."
After the one-month summer vacation, Yao Lu packed her luggage and traveled to the Northwest by herself.One is to relax, and the other is that he wants to see for himself how Boss Qi's wife and children are doing.
Before leaving, he didn't say hello to anyone except his parents. As a result, he was scolded by Xie Zhe through the microphone after returning home.
"Hey, you, I didn't say I'm not responsible for the child in your belly. It's too tiring to go out for a while, and I don't want to be poor with you. See you at the beginning of school tomorrow. Thank you." Yao snapped on the phone suddenly. Lu could imagine that the person on the other end of the phone was so angry that he was pulling his hair straight, and couldn't help laughing because the picture was so strong.
However, when he returned to the dormitory after the new semester class meeting the next day, Xie Zhe, who was squatting on the ground to put away his things, inadvertently looked up and saw Yao Lu who stepped into the threshold. bloody footage.
The original shoulder-length hair of the other party has been cut short neatly, and I don't know if it is because of tanning, the whole person has changed from the previous feminine and extravagant image, and the facial contours have become unexpectedly tough.
"You...you you you you..." Xie Zhe was shocked, the hand pointing at him was shaking and shaking, his eyeballs were about to pop out, but he didn't say anything.
"Why, you've been shocked by my unprecedented general attack?" Yao Lu pretended to be puzzled and hooked his chin, Xie Zhe hid too hastily and sat down on the ground.
"You...don't come here! I'll call someone if I come here again!"
"You shout. No one will come to save you even if you shout loudly~"
……etc.The subtle visual sense of this line is...?
Xie Zhe was forced into a corner, and when he was full of despair and wanted to cry, Yao Lu suddenly withdrew his hand, stood up straight with his collar and chuckled lightly. "...Just kidding. I know you—it must be a long time since I haven't seen me, so I'm so excited."
The young man was reluctantly dragged up by his outstretched hand, and complained: "It's not all about you! You left me without a word and went to such a place where birds don't fly... And what's wrong with your hair and complexion?" What's going on? Changing your image? Are you broken in love?"
Yao Lu's expression froze slightly when he heard the words, Xie Zhe felt that he had slipped his words, and hurriedly made amends: "Ah! What, I didn't mean that..."
"I know. You're an idiot." Yao Lu interrupted him with rolling eyes in an instant, and went back to the bed with a calm expression to rummage through the things in the bag. "I went to the Northwest this time... I wanted to be alone and think about something. Fortunately, now that I'm back, I also want to understand. Some determination..."
He suddenly smiled a little desolately. "I can finally understand what you felt at that time."
Xie Zhe silently handed him a cigarette, then lit his own, and sat on the side pondering for a while. "Yao Lu, I've always wanted to ask... are you serious about Lao Ning?"
"...I think so, probably." Yao Lu didn't expect him to admit it so simply, so she shrugged mockingly. "Look, people say that the first impression is the deepest."
"What! Do you even have the first time? When did it happen? What kind of first time?!"
"...It's too noisy. Shut up."
The author has something to say:
☆, end
For the whole year of the third year of high school, Xie Zhe spent almost every night alone in the dormitory with an empty room.
After returning from the Northwest, Yao Lu seemed to be a different person and became more busy than ever. During the day, she listened to lectures and took notes in an upright manner, and in the evening, she also participated in vocal music training classes, or painted all night long.At the same time, he occasionally skipped a few days of class and was recommended by the school to participate in competitions in other places. Of course, he lived up to expectations every time and swept the army.
After the winter vacation, Yao Lu went to the imperial capital alone to take the art test of the Central Conservatory of Music.The results were released a month later, and all three exams were passed with high scores. After that, I just waited for the results of the culture class in June.So he simply gave up the class and went home to find someone for one-on-one tutoring. From morning to night, he worked very hard.
He seemed to have suddenly enlightened, knowing what he should do at this time.He has never hoped to become better, more outstanding and dazzling as he is today. He just, he really just wants that person to see the best and most perfect self in the future.
To be honest, seeing his buddies working so hard for their future, Xie Zhe was mostly relieved.But occasionally when I stayed up late to do the questions, I habitually called someone to pour me a glass of water, but no one responded in the empty room.He didn't even have a gag, cute and stupid audience, so he just kept silent day by day, but he was often praised by the head teacher for his calmness.
One day, the class was handing out the result slips for the model test again. He took off his glasses and rubbed his temples, feeling that his readings must have risen again recently.Squinting his eyes and twisting the note, he used his dizzy eyes to carefully look at the final grade ranking. Unsurprisingly, it was the lonely number 1 again.
Someone next to his ear sighed in unison with him.He was startled, and turned his head to look. The girl was pretending to be melancholy and propped her chin up, pretending not to notice his gaze.
"The world is really unfair. It's rare that I thought that after Xiaoshan left, I would be able to secure the number one throne. I didn't expect that someone who had been hiding his power for a long time finally started to exert his strength, and ended up being late.
Xie Zhe was not angry either, and just snorted coldly: "If you are not convinced, try again next time. Anyway, I am very distressed when I can't find an opponent."
At that time, he was already in the first class, and he and Chen Ye had always occupied the top two places in the science department. It is a miracle that they made rapid progress.And if it is said that the reason why he suddenly shifted his trenches and showed his sharpness, it is also very simple.
Perhaps it was because there was no one around him who needed him to sacrifice his life to accompany him.
For many days and nights after that person left, he never laughed.Even if all the test papers in his hands are circled with full marks, even if he is gradually replacing someone as a myth in Z, he is not happy.The loss of something dear to him prevented him from being happy.And the life without that person completely knocked him back to his original form, and he became the arrogant, indifferent, and arrogant genius boy once again.
In the world with you, I am no longer me.But after you turned and left, I became even less like me.
It turns out that during the years of loving you, I have already slowly lost myself.
How should I describe the last dark years before the college entrance examination.
Fighting spirit, courage, negativity, and disappointment all ebb and flow here, constantly maintaining a balance.
Regardless of what happened in the past, everyone is secretly clenching their teeth at this moment, struggling to draw a possible unsatisfactory end to their academic career of more than ten years.There may be times of despair, but who is willing to extinguish the little fire of hope that is constantly burning in the chest because of this.
The sweat we shed while burying our heads in the book alone in the middle of the night, and the tears we shed silently when we curled up in the bed after the lights were turned off, little by little, we pieced together our last youth that was hastily passed away in wanton squandering.
In fact, in the end, the result is no longer important.
The significance of the existence of the college entrance examination is to teach you to grow—and to meet those people who are willing to comfort and rely on you when you are most helpless, even in the future.
Looking back at this time, I realized that the memory of the two days of the exam had been blurred in my mind, but the appearance of everyone getting together on the day of graduation was still vivid in my mind.
Xie Zhe originally didn't want to join in the excitement, but after all, with classmates, at least there was a farewell ceremony.
The clear melody of "Those Flowers" was played on the auditorium's speakers in a loop. Xie Zhe sat in the back row with no expression on his face and the leader took turns giving speeches. He inadvertently caught a glimpse of Chen Ye's shoulders shaking slightly intermittently in the front row, as if he was crying.In fact, many people present were crying, but he didn't.There was no sign of that from beginning to end.
After the ceremony, the class organization went to have a breakup meal.Everyone was drunk, so no one said goodbye.
After handing over the money to the squad leader, Xie Zhe walked out with a somewhat heavy body, only to meet Yao Lu who happened to be having a breakup meal at the same restaurant.The other party obviously had a little too much to drink, and he walked unsteadily on his shoulder and laughed.
"Are you finished there?"
"Well, just finished. How about you?"
"It's so annoying that they are crying chickens and birds in the private room, I have long wanted to slip away."
"Let's go together then."
Later, they couldn't tell who helped the other out. They wanted to call a taxi, but in the dead of night, there were no cars at all, so they could only walk back slowly.
The two of them talked nonsense on the road, maybe they hadn't seen each other for a long time, and the alcohol was strong, the more they talked, the more excited they were, dancing and cursing this fucking life and the plot.
The street lamps stretched the two cuddling shadows very long, and they sang loudly shoulder to shoulder in the middle of the road. As the stars moved, it seemed that they had returned to the night two years ago, and the fireworks illuminated the starry sky. At that time, they didn't know how far their dreams were, and they didn't know that parting was just around the corner.
When he got to the edge of the moat, Xie Zhe suddenly lost his legs and fell down the road. Yao Lu almost fell because he had been leaning against him. He managed to hold on to the railing and stood still. He rushed down in a panic Shouted: "Hey, are you fucking okay?"
It took a long time to hear Xie Zhe's lifeless voice, "... I almost broke my leg. By the way, you should come down too. It feels very comfortable to lie on the grass slope."
"Really?" Yao Lu was dubious, but with the strength of alcohol, he rolled over and lay down next to him in the dark. "Hey, the stars are so clear from here, each of them shines like a steel penny."
"You are crazy about money." Xie Zhe scoffed at his vulgar metaphor, and then fell into silence for some reason.
"...Let me tell you. Back then, your first choice was to apply to the Conservatory of Music. Can you get into it?"
"Who knows. I think it should be about the same... After all, it was a temporary hug. What about you, can you succeed in the National People's Congress?"
"...I think it will work."
"Hey, isn't this full of confidence!"
"I'm afraid of irritating you~"
"Fuck you. It's kind of a heads-up!"
Later, when they were tired from bickering, Yao Lu heard Xie Zhe whisper in his ear when he was half asleep and half awake, "I'm going back to Haicheng."
"What?" He was startled, and stared at him in the blink of an eye. "when?!"
"tomorrow……"
"Then will you come back?"
"……Not anymore."
Yao Lu stopped talking.
Xie Zhe knew that he was sad, so he pretended to be bright and teased: "So monster, can you let me kiss you before you leave?"
"Damn it?!" The other party bounced up as expected, and ran up the slope in a hurry, but Xie Zhe grabbed him from behind and pulled him gently, and he fell into him just as he was about to step into the air. embrace.It was only then that Yao Lu realized that in just one year, this kid had already sneaked past him, and the arms around him were so powerful that he directly pushed him down on the sloping grass slope.
In the distracted distance, Yao Lu felt the other party's rapid and hot breathing, afraid that he would really kiss her, so she wanted to cover her mouth.But Xie Zhe moved faster than him, pressing his wrist with one hand, and slowly approached.
Yao Lu secretly groaned in her heart, but she couldn't exert any strength on her body, so she could only let him undo the buttons on her chest one by one, and then gently kissed the long-lasting scar on his collarbone.
Yao Lu was still looking at him stupidly, seeing Xie Zhe's face gradually filled with tenderness when he was close at hand.
He said, maybe I won't come back here again, but I will always remember you.
Only then did the boy suddenly remember that he had indeed blocked a knife for him, so his body slowly relaxed, and he smiled slightly. "...A bastard. You are my brother, no matter how badly you get hurt, it's worth it."
Stars fell into his bright eyes at this moment, Xie Zhe tightened his embrace with heat in his eyes, and remained motionless for a long time, but later Yao Lu really fell asleep with his pillow on his chest.
When the song ended, the two of them were left to keep each other warm on the cool summer night in June.
Xie Zhe closed his eyes, and stretched out his hand as if trying to capture all kinds of past events.Maybe he will cry, but he will always remember.
There was a boy who once drew a knife in the sunset, the silhouette was as sharp as the blade, it was the color that pierced his soul.
Yao green.Yao green.
Don't say goodbye, we just go our separate ways.
At dawn the next day, Yao Lu finally woke up on the grassy slope accompanied by the gurgling sound of the river, still wearing a coat that did not belong to her, but Xie Zhe was no longer there.
He sat staring blankly at the river for a while, knowing in his heart that he had really left.leave without saying goodbye.
However, before leaving, he still took out his mobile phone to check, and there was indeed a text message from Xie Zhe.
"I have been used to watching others leave for so many years, this time I finally know how difficult it is to turn around first."
Yao Lu stared at the line of words in silence for a long time, then patted the grass on her body indiscriminately, got up and walked back.
Not far from the river embankment, while walking, he suddenly saw a SIM card dropped in the grass.Bending down, picking it up and putting it into his mobile phone, he saw that it was indeed Xie Zhe's own phone number.
"You're cruel enough." He murmured, but he couldn't feel any resentment in his heart.
Yao Lu knew he needed it, so he had to leave here and start over.Anything that can bring back painful memories for him, be it a person or a city, he has made up his mind to cut off those bonds that were closely connected with him, and wait for the wound to heal in a way that is almost evasive.
If it can really heal.
His destination is still in Z.
The dormitory building in the school that belonged to the former third grade was empty, without the hustle and bustle of the past.
Walked to the corner of the fifth floor with ease and turned the door with the key. Before Yao Lu could step in, he was choked by the dust and coughed, so he hurried to the inside and opened the window to ventilate. It took a long time Only then did I recover.
The orientation of their dormitory is actually very good.From here, you can see the vigorous figures of the juniors who are taking physical education classes on the playground, whether they are running laps or playing basketball, he looks at them and thinks of himself yesterday.In the dark, I always feel that the old wooden door behind me will make a harsh "squeak" sound in the next second, and then those familiar figures will walk in, talking and laughing.He would still yell at them with his hips akimbo, asking why they didn't clean up when he wasn't around.
At this time, it was almost noon, and the sun shone like gold through the windows. Yao Lu looked back at the house, which looked like the chaos of the day when they first arrived, and suddenly felt sad.
The era that belonged to them has passed, but he still remembers the details of being together so clearly.
It was clearly an afternoon in spring, the sun painted the snow-white walls into a warm gold, Bai Yuze yawned and nestled on the bedside with a novel in his hands, Fir leaned against the balcony and watched him quietly smoking, Ning Ziyue had just returned from He came out of the bathroom, carelessly rubbed his hair with a towel and sat next to Xie Zhe who was tuning the bass.
Then, he watched with his own eyes that the domineering self with pigtails and domineering eyebrows hit Xie Zhe's head with a brush like a dart because he thought the room was too noisy.Bright red paint splashed out, little by little, slowly filling the field of vision.
When the sun covered his whole body, he finally felt the heart-piercing pain in his body.He thought that it was probably because the people around him were no longer there.
Fate tore them out of his life, trying to separate them completely—but whether it was those memorable stupid faces or the golden years they had walked together, they had already become part of his soul.
The place we stayed at that time was like a sunny place, transforming the cold winter or hot summer into a comfortable, peaceful and warm place.
And from there, we don't know where we will go side by side, and how long we will walk.
The author has something to say:
☆、Fanwaiqi When the winter night is getting warmer
The moment of stepping out of that iron gate was so long, as if an invisible barrier built by time over the past three years had been overcome.
He turned his head and stared, but the gray-white building didn't seem to have changed at all, just like the day he just arrived, he fell asleep lifelessly in the morning light.
The deserted street was very quiet, with fine and pure white snow falling overhead.
This is his third year in drug rehabilitation.Because of the good recovery, he was released early before the scheduled date.
The daily routine of activities, meals, and treatment was actually more painful than imagined, and he almost couldn't hold on halfway through.
Just because, that person...
The name repeated thousands of times in the dream, the bright and arrogant side face of the young man.With a smile, even the world is pale.
Snowflakes slid into his neck along the open neckline, but he didn't care, as if as long as he thought about that person in his heart, the surrounding temperature was so low that it would also spread continuous warmth.
The shoes creaked slightly in the snow, and he walked slowly to the secluded intersection at an even pace. After such a long distance, he saw him at a glance, so he seemed to be caught by some picture. He stopped as if touched.
This was probably the most poetic scene he had ever seen in his life.
The warm light of the sun adorns the ends of his soft hair, young man—maybe he can be called a man at this time.The man sat gracefully with his legs folded on the stone pier under the withered willow, holding a cigarette in a beautiful posture, and now he was turning his head and slowly focusing his eyes on him.
Through the light and falling snowflakes, Ning Ziyue saw that his eyes were shining brightly for a moment, like the changing water waves under the sunset, dripping into the atrium with a little bit of intoxication.
How long has he not seen him?
I just remember that from the very beginning, he refused all visit requests in order to prevent his heart from being shaken.He knew that the other party would be disappointed because of this, but that person had penetrated into the depths of his bone marrow, which was ten thousand times more terrifying than the poison, and he was afraid that he would not be able to control himself and wanted to escape from the cage.
I thought he didn't know that he came out today.
In the face of sudden surprises, even people who are usually moody and angry may be at a loss.
So even if we finally meet each other this time, he is just stuck in place like a wooden stake, watching that person walking towards him step by step, the outline of eyebrows and eyes that have been honed over the years is gradually peeled off from his memory, and the past flashes in his mind. With his radiant figure on the stage and his smile overlooking all living beings, he thought that he was eventually stripped of his thorns by the world, so that he could become the gentle and gentle appearance he is today.
However, there is no basis for fantasy.
What he didn't know was that it was not this world but him that defeated all Yao Lu's pride and made him willing to lower his profile and pursue alone. ...
"Asshole. Do you know how long I've been waiting for you?"
Yao Lu finally stopped a step away from him, said so harshly, but couldn't hide the soft light in his eyes that blended two emotions of sadness and joy, and he refused to take his eyes off his face .
Ning Ziyue felt that he was really different from before.If it was Yao Lu in the past, he would probably have rushed forward and yelled at him while punching him in the stomach, instead of knowing how to suppress his emotions even in such a private situation, and even be stingy with a hug.
This kind of him only made him feel strange.
Yao Lu didn't notice the complex state of mind of the other party at all, but stared straight at the light blue stubble on his chin and the muscles showing lines on his arms, and murmured: "You're thinner."
Closing his eyes, he tried his best to calm down the ups and downs of his heart, and then showed his perfectly curved smile again, and slowly stretched out a hand to him.
"...Come home with me."
What is flowing in the blood at this moment is not only emotion and joy, but also the bitterness called "reminiscence".
Spread your palms, your name has already been written into the veins.Close your eyes, and the gears of time turn in the opposite direction.
I promised to greet you with a smile, how could I break my promise.
Ning Ziyue remained silent and let him lead him all the way to the silver-gray Cachazo at the corner. When the door opened, he still calmly broke away from the other party's hand.Yao Lu was slightly taken aback, her eyes shifted to his silent side face, her expression dimmed for a moment, but she soon smiled again. "By the way, I forgot to tell you - there are surprises in the car."
Ning Ziyue hesitated for a moment, then sat down in the co-pilot, and before he had time to look around, he heard a defensive meow from behind the seat
I wish what happened last night was just a dream.
He pressed against his slightly sore temple, and his mind was looping frame by frame of the man's face that no longer had a smile on his face, staring fixedly at him.
Pushing open the door with a heavy heart, without even having time to prepare mentally, Yao Lu happened to be standing in the living room looking up at him, holding a large flat cardboard box in his arms, looking darkly at him with heavy emotions. Not clear.
"...Come down for lunch. I ordered pizza outside. By the way, you are not allergic to seafood, right? I will pay for your medical bills after food poisoning."
Ning Ziyue was stunned for a few seconds when he heard the words, before he said in a daze, "Hmm...not allergic."
Standing by the side of the escalator and watching the boy turn and walk into the restaurant with a complicated expression, he wanted to stop him for a moment, but then he thought that he really didn't know what to say now.
"I asked you to do this, what do you mean?..."
Yao Lu, who questioned him in such a deep voice, seemed to be a different person from the calmly joking guy just now.I can't tell the difference, but Ning Ziyue just feels that something is different.
However, even if he wanted to get to the bottom of it, as long as he met his gaze, he would think of the hurt eyes that had been stripped of the cover of night.
So, more silent.
It was impossible for the other party not to notice his strangeness, and it was this unspoken attitude that exacerbated his unspeakable subtle agitation.
At the dinner table, the two never mentioned anything about last night or anything related to Quan Yue.Ning Ziyue knew that things had happened to this point and he was no longer qualified to talk about leaving, and Yao Lu was even less likely to let him go-but he didn't clamor to use the USB flash drive to change the poison.
For the brief period that followed, both men acted as if nothing had happened.During the day, Yao Lu went to school as usual, but every night she had to climb over the wall from school and come back home. The reason is self-evident.Ning Ziyue stayed in the house day after day, struggling with his body.But he didn't know what Quan Yue had put in the wine. Recently, the interval between seizures was getting shorter and shorter, and he couldn't bear the pain.But in front of Yao Lu, he never showed anything wrong.
In the middle of the night, drug addiction gnawed at his internal organs again like a hundred ants.Every time at this time, he felt as if he was no longer himself, but like a trapped beast that had lost its sharp teeth and claws.The most frightening thing is that he found that he gradually developed a tendency to self-harm, and even wanted to hurt others.
Curled up, trembling, hissing, his suppressed voice was full of despair and struggle.The frosty moonlight spilled on the corner of the bed through the window, and he forced himself to keep staring at it, telling himself that it was nothing and it would pass soon.
And when the pain really subsided, it was almost two hours later.
He lay on the floor for a long time in a collapsed state, feeling that he couldn't even lift his fingers.Until his senses gradually changed from being dominated by drugs to his own, he felt that his whole body was soaked in sweat, which was particularly sticky and uncomfortable in the sultry summer night.
So he stood up by supporting the foot of the bed, staggered and planned to go out to take a shower.The moment the door opened, he was keenly aware of the existence of another person within walking distance.He took a step back vigilantly in the darkness, but the man didn't seem to notice it, and sat quietly by the door with one leg propped up, his slightly long hair covering his eyebrows and eyes.
"Yao Lu?" Ning Ziyue called tentatively, feeling uneasy.
When did he sit here, and how long has he been listening silently outside the door?
"……sorry."
It took a long time to get a response, but the other party's words were mixed with suspicious trills, Ning Ziyue was inexplicably flustered, and hurriedly knelt down to check. "you--"
"...I'm too capricious, I'm sorry." Yao Lu turned her head away not to let him see her face, her eyelashes were already wet, her fists were clenched tightly, and her voice was dry.
"I didn't know that you would have to endure this kind of torture...I just thought that you would never be allowed to go to that kind of prison." He seemed to have finally made up his mind, propped his knees on his forehead, and closed his eyes in pain.
"...Go to the drug rehabilitation center. I will accompany you. As I said, you will not be left alone."
Ning Ziyue stared at him silently, feeling the thin shoulders under his hands shivering like a small animal in winter.A strange emotion rushed through the atrium suddenly like an electric current.
want to hug.
It doesn't matter if you get stabbed.
If blood can warm this person at this moment.
He touched the ground with his knees, silently stretched out his arms and wrapped the thin man in front of him tightly in his arms.But the other party still didn't resist or respond.
It was so quiet at night, each other's breathing could be heard clearly.
"I don't apologize for my actions that night, but I want to take responsibility for it."
When finally let go of him, Ning Ziyue said so.Probably shocked by his unprecedented serious tone, Yao Lu blinked blankly until the other party approached and kissed his lips lightly. The cold moonlight in the corridor and the black and white three-dimensional face lost all color.But he sat stiffly on the spot and didn't dare to move. He thought it was strange, and his face was hot uncontrollably.
"You—what the hell are you...?"
"Yao Lu. No matter what you think, I..." Ning Ziyue paused, his swamp-like deep eyes seemed to be waiting for someone to sink deep in the dark night. "I can't promise you any future, but I want to be your reliance....Will you wait for me?"
Yao Lu grabbed his clothes tightly from the beginning to the end, without saying a word, but Ning Ziyue saw the mist in his eyes for the first time.
——Actually, I have been waiting for someone to take me away.
How do you know, I am waiting for you.
When it was daylight, the two people who had been sitting next to each other all night were woken up by the light at the same time, and could no longer fall back asleep.
"Let's go now?" Yao Lu asked tentatively.
Ning Ziyue turned to look at him and shook his head. "...stay a little longer."
But it didn't take long.They had to leave before Yao's father and Yao's mother woke up.
Walking on the sparsely populated streets in the early morning, both of them were silent, and the atmosphere became more and more stalemate as the destination approached.Later Ning Ziyue took the initiative to shake his hand, Yao Lu walked a little slower, looked up at him without flinching.
When did it start?The trajectories of our lives gather and separate, separate and rejoin, and finally overlap.
In silence, the boy went through the first time.
Come to this moment to meet and give each other the strength to maintain.
It seems to be burning continuously, but the flames are burning separately.
Burn each other and shine on each other.
The entrance of the compulsory drug rehabilitation center.
"I can only send it here." Saying this, Yao Lu didn't seem to have any intention of leaving.
The huge gray and white building seemed to be still asleep, lifeless.
Ning Ziyue nodded silently, turned around and was about to walk in.
"Ning Ziyue!"
He turned his head and stopped.
The man was still looking at him from the original position, biting his lip stubbornly.The sun was pouring down from the sky, just staying behind him, so dazzling.
"...I'll wait for you. For as long as you want. For as many years as you want."
They stared for a long time from a distance that was not too long, watching the steel retractable door between them creak and groan, and finally slowly closed.
There was such a heavy sound.deafening.
From then on, even if there is a wall between them, it is still close to each other.
Yao Lu groped in his trouser pocket, and slowly squatted down at the gate, as if he had guarded his door all night last night.
The call was quickly connected.
"Hey, Xie Er." He forced his lips to meet the rising sun, his eyes were sour like never before.
"... Invite me to dinner later. OK?"
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
On the second day after Ning Ziyue left, Yao Lu went to the police station to hand over the evidence left by Boss Qi before his death, saying that someone should be sent to arrest Quan Yue as soon as possible.
There was also an old friend of Yao's father among the people present at the time, and that person talked to Yao Lu in private, saying that this matter is very difficult to handle, and if he is not careful, he will easily get burned.
"If you want to clear up the relationship, money is not a problem. Besides, even if Quan Yue sends someone to kill me, I will admit it." The young man stated calmly without blinking an eye. "I just ask uncle, for the sake of meeting my father, you must bring him to justice and let me die in peace."
The elder sighed helplessly when he heard the words, and did not express his opinion.As expected, Father Yao soon found out about the news.However, after returning home, he only asked his troublesome son a word.
"Have you thought about the possible consequences of this report?"
"...Yes. I have to do it." He felt that his eyes had never been so firm, but it was only for a person who trusted him wholeheartedly.
If it's for him, I'm willing to take any risk.
Father Yao nodded silently, turned around and went back to his room.The matter was never mentioned again.But Yao Lu knew that as long as his father made a statement, there would be basically no injustice.The reason, probably exactly the same as myself.
Because it was something the only son had made up his mind to do, no matter what risks lay ahead, as a father, he would not hesitate to take them for him.
Nearly a month later, when the school's final exams were coming to an end, Yao Lu finally learned from the special report that Quan Yue and a series of high-level forces behind him had been brought down in one fell swoop.Quan Yue himself was finally sentenced to death.
At that time, he was sitting in front of the TV drinking coffee, while Yao's mother was squatting in the corner of the living room, babbling and feeding the cat.There was a sudden loud sound of broken porcelain, which echoed in the empty villa for a long time.
Yao's mother was taken aback, and hurriedly turned her head to look at the source of the sound: "What's wrong? What trouble did you get into again?"
The scalding black coffee spilled every drop on the boy's legs, but Yao Lu stared blankly at the TV screen without realizing it, with a pile of shards of cups under his feet.
"Ah, why are you so careless, kid! How old is this TV? I'm so fascinated by it that I've dropped my glass." Yao's mother walked over half worried and half complaining to clean up the mess. He took a towel soaked in cold water and spread it on his lap. "Is it hot? Is it better now?"
Only then did Yao Lu come back to life, and faltered: "Uh...um. I'm fine, Mom, really." During this period, he still kept his eyes on the TV.
It was as if a big rock had finally fallen in my heart, but it felt unreal in a trance.After conflicting for a long time, he still decided to go to the study to check with his father, but was stopped by Yao's mother.
"Don't bother your dad, he's still asleep. I don't know what I've been busy with these days. I go out before dawn, come back in the middle of the night, and then fall asleep without saying a word. It's been almost a month , This is the first time I can sleep soundly. Ask him what the hell he is doing, but he hides it and refuses to say, do you think your dad doesn't love me anymore? "
Yao Lu lowered her head and squeezed the towel on her lap tightly, her chest was hot, and she had mixed feelings for a moment.
It's a pity that I am awkward, and I can't say embarrassing words like "thank you" if I want to.
After Yao's mother finished talking, seeing that he was really fine, she went back to the corner and continued tinkering with grapefruit. "Speaking of which, your friend moved away as soon as he said he would, without saying hello, and even ignored his own cat. It's rare that I like him quite a bit. The young man looks calm and polite. You usually learn more from others. Learning, bluffing all day long, who would like to be with you in the future."
"You. It's useless to worry about it." The young man was speechless for a few seconds, then smiled slightly, got up and walked to the floor-to-ceiling window, staring at a point in the east for a long time, whispering softly.
"...After all, your son might be kidnapped someday."
After the one-month summer vacation, Yao Lu packed her luggage and traveled to the Northwest by herself.One is to relax, and the other is that he wants to see for himself how Boss Qi's wife and children are doing.
Before leaving, he didn't say hello to anyone except his parents. As a result, he was scolded by Xie Zhe through the microphone after returning home.
"Hey, you, I didn't say I'm not responsible for the child in your belly. It's too tiring to go out for a while, and I don't want to be poor with you. See you at the beginning of school tomorrow. Thank you." Yao snapped on the phone suddenly. Lu could imagine that the person on the other end of the phone was so angry that he was pulling his hair straight, and couldn't help laughing because the picture was so strong.
However, when he returned to the dormitory after the new semester class meeting the next day, Xie Zhe, who was squatting on the ground to put away his things, inadvertently looked up and saw Yao Lu who stepped into the threshold. bloody footage.
The original shoulder-length hair of the other party has been cut short neatly, and I don't know if it is because of tanning, the whole person has changed from the previous feminine and extravagant image, and the facial contours have become unexpectedly tough.
"You...you you you you..." Xie Zhe was shocked, the hand pointing at him was shaking and shaking, his eyeballs were about to pop out, but he didn't say anything.
"Why, you've been shocked by my unprecedented general attack?" Yao Lu pretended to be puzzled and hooked his chin, Xie Zhe hid too hastily and sat down on the ground.
"You...don't come here! I'll call someone if I come here again!"
"You shout. No one will come to save you even if you shout loudly~"
……etc.The subtle visual sense of this line is...?
Xie Zhe was forced into a corner, and when he was full of despair and wanted to cry, Yao Lu suddenly withdrew his hand, stood up straight with his collar and chuckled lightly. "...Just kidding. I know you—it must be a long time since I haven't seen me, so I'm so excited."
The young man was reluctantly dragged up by his outstretched hand, and complained: "It's not all about you! You left me without a word and went to such a place where birds don't fly... And what's wrong with your hair and complexion?" What's going on? Changing your image? Are you broken in love?"
Yao Lu's expression froze slightly when he heard the words, Xie Zhe felt that he had slipped his words, and hurriedly made amends: "Ah! What, I didn't mean that..."
"I know. You're an idiot." Yao Lu interrupted him with rolling eyes in an instant, and went back to the bed with a calm expression to rummage through the things in the bag. "I went to the Northwest this time... I wanted to be alone and think about something. Fortunately, now that I'm back, I also want to understand. Some determination..."
He suddenly smiled a little desolately. "I can finally understand what you felt at that time."
Xie Zhe silently handed him a cigarette, then lit his own, and sat on the side pondering for a while. "Yao Lu, I've always wanted to ask... are you serious about Lao Ning?"
"...I think so, probably." Yao Lu didn't expect him to admit it so simply, so she shrugged mockingly. "Look, people say that the first impression is the deepest."
"What! Do you even have the first time? When did it happen? What kind of first time?!"
"...It's too noisy. Shut up."
The author has something to say:
☆, end
For the whole year of the third year of high school, Xie Zhe spent almost every night alone in the dormitory with an empty room.
After returning from the Northwest, Yao Lu seemed to be a different person and became more busy than ever. During the day, she listened to lectures and took notes in an upright manner, and in the evening, she also participated in vocal music training classes, or painted all night long.At the same time, he occasionally skipped a few days of class and was recommended by the school to participate in competitions in other places. Of course, he lived up to expectations every time and swept the army.
After the winter vacation, Yao Lu went to the imperial capital alone to take the art test of the Central Conservatory of Music.The results were released a month later, and all three exams were passed with high scores. After that, I just waited for the results of the culture class in June.So he simply gave up the class and went home to find someone for one-on-one tutoring. From morning to night, he worked very hard.
He seemed to have suddenly enlightened, knowing what he should do at this time.He has never hoped to become better, more outstanding and dazzling as he is today. He just, he really just wants that person to see the best and most perfect self in the future.
To be honest, seeing his buddies working so hard for their future, Xie Zhe was mostly relieved.But occasionally when I stayed up late to do the questions, I habitually called someone to pour me a glass of water, but no one responded in the empty room.He didn't even have a gag, cute and stupid audience, so he just kept silent day by day, but he was often praised by the head teacher for his calmness.
One day, the class was handing out the result slips for the model test again. He took off his glasses and rubbed his temples, feeling that his readings must have risen again recently.Squinting his eyes and twisting the note, he used his dizzy eyes to carefully look at the final grade ranking. Unsurprisingly, it was the lonely number 1 again.
Someone next to his ear sighed in unison with him.He was startled, and turned his head to look. The girl was pretending to be melancholy and propped her chin up, pretending not to notice his gaze.
"The world is really unfair. It's rare that I thought that after Xiaoshan left, I would be able to secure the number one throne. I didn't expect that someone who had been hiding his power for a long time finally started to exert his strength, and ended up being late.
Xie Zhe was not angry either, and just snorted coldly: "If you are not convinced, try again next time. Anyway, I am very distressed when I can't find an opponent."
At that time, he was already in the first class, and he and Chen Ye had always occupied the top two places in the science department. It is a miracle that they made rapid progress.And if it is said that the reason why he suddenly shifted his trenches and showed his sharpness, it is also very simple.
Perhaps it was because there was no one around him who needed him to sacrifice his life to accompany him.
For many days and nights after that person left, he never laughed.Even if all the test papers in his hands are circled with full marks, even if he is gradually replacing someone as a myth in Z, he is not happy.The loss of something dear to him prevented him from being happy.And the life without that person completely knocked him back to his original form, and he became the arrogant, indifferent, and arrogant genius boy once again.
In the world with you, I am no longer me.But after you turned and left, I became even less like me.
It turns out that during the years of loving you, I have already slowly lost myself.
How should I describe the last dark years before the college entrance examination.
Fighting spirit, courage, negativity, and disappointment all ebb and flow here, constantly maintaining a balance.
Regardless of what happened in the past, everyone is secretly clenching their teeth at this moment, struggling to draw a possible unsatisfactory end to their academic career of more than ten years.There may be times of despair, but who is willing to extinguish the little fire of hope that is constantly burning in the chest because of this.
The sweat we shed while burying our heads in the book alone in the middle of the night, and the tears we shed silently when we curled up in the bed after the lights were turned off, little by little, we pieced together our last youth that was hastily passed away in wanton squandering.
In fact, in the end, the result is no longer important.
The significance of the existence of the college entrance examination is to teach you to grow—and to meet those people who are willing to comfort and rely on you when you are most helpless, even in the future.
Looking back at this time, I realized that the memory of the two days of the exam had been blurred in my mind, but the appearance of everyone getting together on the day of graduation was still vivid in my mind.
Xie Zhe originally didn't want to join in the excitement, but after all, with classmates, at least there was a farewell ceremony.
The clear melody of "Those Flowers" was played on the auditorium's speakers in a loop. Xie Zhe sat in the back row with no expression on his face and the leader took turns giving speeches. He inadvertently caught a glimpse of Chen Ye's shoulders shaking slightly intermittently in the front row, as if he was crying.In fact, many people present were crying, but he didn't.There was no sign of that from beginning to end.
After the ceremony, the class organization went to have a breakup meal.Everyone was drunk, so no one said goodbye.
After handing over the money to the squad leader, Xie Zhe walked out with a somewhat heavy body, only to meet Yao Lu who happened to be having a breakup meal at the same restaurant.The other party obviously had a little too much to drink, and he walked unsteadily on his shoulder and laughed.
"Are you finished there?"
"Well, just finished. How about you?"
"It's so annoying that they are crying chickens and birds in the private room, I have long wanted to slip away."
"Let's go together then."
Later, they couldn't tell who helped the other out. They wanted to call a taxi, but in the dead of night, there were no cars at all, so they could only walk back slowly.
The two of them talked nonsense on the road, maybe they hadn't seen each other for a long time, and the alcohol was strong, the more they talked, the more excited they were, dancing and cursing this fucking life and the plot.
The street lamps stretched the two cuddling shadows very long, and they sang loudly shoulder to shoulder in the middle of the road. As the stars moved, it seemed that they had returned to the night two years ago, and the fireworks illuminated the starry sky. At that time, they didn't know how far their dreams were, and they didn't know that parting was just around the corner.
When he got to the edge of the moat, Xie Zhe suddenly lost his legs and fell down the road. Yao Lu almost fell because he had been leaning against him. He managed to hold on to the railing and stood still. He rushed down in a panic Shouted: "Hey, are you fucking okay?"
It took a long time to hear Xie Zhe's lifeless voice, "... I almost broke my leg. By the way, you should come down too. It feels very comfortable to lie on the grass slope."
"Really?" Yao Lu was dubious, but with the strength of alcohol, he rolled over and lay down next to him in the dark. "Hey, the stars are so clear from here, each of them shines like a steel penny."
"You are crazy about money." Xie Zhe scoffed at his vulgar metaphor, and then fell into silence for some reason.
"...Let me tell you. Back then, your first choice was to apply to the Conservatory of Music. Can you get into it?"
"Who knows. I think it should be about the same... After all, it was a temporary hug. What about you, can you succeed in the National People's Congress?"
"...I think it will work."
"Hey, isn't this full of confidence!"
"I'm afraid of irritating you~"
"Fuck you. It's kind of a heads-up!"
Later, when they were tired from bickering, Yao Lu heard Xie Zhe whisper in his ear when he was half asleep and half awake, "I'm going back to Haicheng."
"What?" He was startled, and stared at him in the blink of an eye. "when?!"
"tomorrow……"
"Then will you come back?"
"……Not anymore."
Yao Lu stopped talking.
Xie Zhe knew that he was sad, so he pretended to be bright and teased: "So monster, can you let me kiss you before you leave?"
"Damn it?!" The other party bounced up as expected, and ran up the slope in a hurry, but Xie Zhe grabbed him from behind and pulled him gently, and he fell into him just as he was about to step into the air. embrace.It was only then that Yao Lu realized that in just one year, this kid had already sneaked past him, and the arms around him were so powerful that he directly pushed him down on the sloping grass slope.
In the distracted distance, Yao Lu felt the other party's rapid and hot breathing, afraid that he would really kiss her, so she wanted to cover her mouth.But Xie Zhe moved faster than him, pressing his wrist with one hand, and slowly approached.
Yao Lu secretly groaned in her heart, but she couldn't exert any strength on her body, so she could only let him undo the buttons on her chest one by one, and then gently kissed the long-lasting scar on his collarbone.
Yao Lu was still looking at him stupidly, seeing Xie Zhe's face gradually filled with tenderness when he was close at hand.
He said, maybe I won't come back here again, but I will always remember you.
Only then did the boy suddenly remember that he had indeed blocked a knife for him, so his body slowly relaxed, and he smiled slightly. "...A bastard. You are my brother, no matter how badly you get hurt, it's worth it."
Stars fell into his bright eyes at this moment, Xie Zhe tightened his embrace with heat in his eyes, and remained motionless for a long time, but later Yao Lu really fell asleep with his pillow on his chest.
When the song ended, the two of them were left to keep each other warm on the cool summer night in June.
Xie Zhe closed his eyes, and stretched out his hand as if trying to capture all kinds of past events.Maybe he will cry, but he will always remember.
There was a boy who once drew a knife in the sunset, the silhouette was as sharp as the blade, it was the color that pierced his soul.
Yao green.Yao green.
Don't say goodbye, we just go our separate ways.
At dawn the next day, Yao Lu finally woke up on the grassy slope accompanied by the gurgling sound of the river, still wearing a coat that did not belong to her, but Xie Zhe was no longer there.
He sat staring blankly at the river for a while, knowing in his heart that he had really left.leave without saying goodbye.
However, before leaving, he still took out his mobile phone to check, and there was indeed a text message from Xie Zhe.
"I have been used to watching others leave for so many years, this time I finally know how difficult it is to turn around first."
Yao Lu stared at the line of words in silence for a long time, then patted the grass on her body indiscriminately, got up and walked back.
Not far from the river embankment, while walking, he suddenly saw a SIM card dropped in the grass.Bending down, picking it up and putting it into his mobile phone, he saw that it was indeed Xie Zhe's own phone number.
"You're cruel enough." He murmured, but he couldn't feel any resentment in his heart.
Yao Lu knew he needed it, so he had to leave here and start over.Anything that can bring back painful memories for him, be it a person or a city, he has made up his mind to cut off those bonds that were closely connected with him, and wait for the wound to heal in a way that is almost evasive.
If it can really heal.
His destination is still in Z.
The dormitory building in the school that belonged to the former third grade was empty, without the hustle and bustle of the past.
Walked to the corner of the fifth floor with ease and turned the door with the key. Before Yao Lu could step in, he was choked by the dust and coughed, so he hurried to the inside and opened the window to ventilate. It took a long time Only then did I recover.
The orientation of their dormitory is actually very good.From here, you can see the vigorous figures of the juniors who are taking physical education classes on the playground, whether they are running laps or playing basketball, he looks at them and thinks of himself yesterday.In the dark, I always feel that the old wooden door behind me will make a harsh "squeak" sound in the next second, and then those familiar figures will walk in, talking and laughing.He would still yell at them with his hips akimbo, asking why they didn't clean up when he wasn't around.
At this time, it was almost noon, and the sun shone like gold through the windows. Yao Lu looked back at the house, which looked like the chaos of the day when they first arrived, and suddenly felt sad.
The era that belonged to them has passed, but he still remembers the details of being together so clearly.
It was clearly an afternoon in spring, the sun painted the snow-white walls into a warm gold, Bai Yuze yawned and nestled on the bedside with a novel in his hands, Fir leaned against the balcony and watched him quietly smoking, Ning Ziyue had just returned from He came out of the bathroom, carelessly rubbed his hair with a towel and sat next to Xie Zhe who was tuning the bass.
Then, he watched with his own eyes that the domineering self with pigtails and domineering eyebrows hit Xie Zhe's head with a brush like a dart because he thought the room was too noisy.Bright red paint splashed out, little by little, slowly filling the field of vision.
When the sun covered his whole body, he finally felt the heart-piercing pain in his body.He thought that it was probably because the people around him were no longer there.
Fate tore them out of his life, trying to separate them completely—but whether it was those memorable stupid faces or the golden years they had walked together, they had already become part of his soul.
The place we stayed at that time was like a sunny place, transforming the cold winter or hot summer into a comfortable, peaceful and warm place.
And from there, we don't know where we will go side by side, and how long we will walk.
The author has something to say:
☆、Fanwaiqi When the winter night is getting warmer
The moment of stepping out of that iron gate was so long, as if an invisible barrier built by time over the past three years had been overcome.
He turned his head and stared, but the gray-white building didn't seem to have changed at all, just like the day he just arrived, he fell asleep lifelessly in the morning light.
The deserted street was very quiet, with fine and pure white snow falling overhead.
This is his third year in drug rehabilitation.Because of the good recovery, he was released early before the scheduled date.
The daily routine of activities, meals, and treatment was actually more painful than imagined, and he almost couldn't hold on halfway through.
Just because, that person...
The name repeated thousands of times in the dream, the bright and arrogant side face of the young man.With a smile, even the world is pale.
Snowflakes slid into his neck along the open neckline, but he didn't care, as if as long as he thought about that person in his heart, the surrounding temperature was so low that it would also spread continuous warmth.
The shoes creaked slightly in the snow, and he walked slowly to the secluded intersection at an even pace. After such a long distance, he saw him at a glance, so he seemed to be caught by some picture. He stopped as if touched.
This was probably the most poetic scene he had ever seen in his life.
The warm light of the sun adorns the ends of his soft hair, young man—maybe he can be called a man at this time.The man sat gracefully with his legs folded on the stone pier under the withered willow, holding a cigarette in a beautiful posture, and now he was turning his head and slowly focusing his eyes on him.
Through the light and falling snowflakes, Ning Ziyue saw that his eyes were shining brightly for a moment, like the changing water waves under the sunset, dripping into the atrium with a little bit of intoxication.
How long has he not seen him?
I just remember that from the very beginning, he refused all visit requests in order to prevent his heart from being shaken.He knew that the other party would be disappointed because of this, but that person had penetrated into the depths of his bone marrow, which was ten thousand times more terrifying than the poison, and he was afraid that he would not be able to control himself and wanted to escape from the cage.
I thought he didn't know that he came out today.
In the face of sudden surprises, even people who are usually moody and angry may be at a loss.
So even if we finally meet each other this time, he is just stuck in place like a wooden stake, watching that person walking towards him step by step, the outline of eyebrows and eyes that have been honed over the years is gradually peeled off from his memory, and the past flashes in his mind. With his radiant figure on the stage and his smile overlooking all living beings, he thought that he was eventually stripped of his thorns by the world, so that he could become the gentle and gentle appearance he is today.
However, there is no basis for fantasy.
What he didn't know was that it was not this world but him that defeated all Yao Lu's pride and made him willing to lower his profile and pursue alone. ...
"Asshole. Do you know how long I've been waiting for you?"
Yao Lu finally stopped a step away from him, said so harshly, but couldn't hide the soft light in his eyes that blended two emotions of sadness and joy, and he refused to take his eyes off his face .
Ning Ziyue felt that he was really different from before.If it was Yao Lu in the past, he would probably have rushed forward and yelled at him while punching him in the stomach, instead of knowing how to suppress his emotions even in such a private situation, and even be stingy with a hug.
This kind of him only made him feel strange.
Yao Lu didn't notice the complex state of mind of the other party at all, but stared straight at the light blue stubble on his chin and the muscles showing lines on his arms, and murmured: "You're thinner."
Closing his eyes, he tried his best to calm down the ups and downs of his heart, and then showed his perfectly curved smile again, and slowly stretched out a hand to him.
"...Come home with me."
What is flowing in the blood at this moment is not only emotion and joy, but also the bitterness called "reminiscence".
Spread your palms, your name has already been written into the veins.Close your eyes, and the gears of time turn in the opposite direction.
I promised to greet you with a smile, how could I break my promise.
Ning Ziyue remained silent and let him lead him all the way to the silver-gray Cachazo at the corner. When the door opened, he still calmly broke away from the other party's hand.Yao Lu was slightly taken aback, her eyes shifted to his silent side face, her expression dimmed for a moment, but she soon smiled again. "By the way, I forgot to tell you - there are surprises in the car."
Ning Ziyue hesitated for a moment, then sat down in the co-pilot, and before he had time to look around, he heard a defensive meow from behind the seat
