[Rebirth] One more blizzard and two worlds

Wen Chi is Yuan Qianqiu's cousin, 5 years younger than him.Gu Tingyun first met Wen Chi when Yuan Qianqiu took him to his house as a guest.

After graduating from high school, Gu Tingyun and Yuan Qianqiu also had frequent contacts. The school was close, and the two would visit each other when they had nothing to do. They often played basketball together when they returned home during winter and summer vacations.

When they were playing, Wen Chi would sit and watch quietly every time. After a game, he would pass towels and ice water to the two of them.

Wen Chi was very clingy to Yuan Qianqiu when he was a child, but after junior high school, he became closer and closer to Gu Tingyun, and Yuan Qianqiu called him "Ayun", and Gu Tingyun always regarded him as his younger brother.Wen Chi is now studying at the Normal University where Gu Tingyun teaches, and the two are also considered alumni.

The time was close to midnight, Wen Chi was exhausted on the way back to N City, and now he had to rest.Gu Tingyun gave up his room to Wen Chi, took a quilt from the closet, and planned to spend the night on the sofa.

He spread the quilt on the sofa, and just as he was about to get in, Yu Xiao came back.

Yu Xiao looked at Gu Tingyun who had one foot on the sofa in puzzlement, and asked, "Why do you sleep here?"

Gu Tingyun put his feet back, stood in front of the sofa, and didn't know where to put his hands: "My friend's cousin just came back from his hometown. It's too late and the school is closed, so I let him sleep here. One night, now lying in my room."

"It's cold, and it's easy to catch a cold when sleeping on the sofa." Yu Xiao pointed his thumb in the direction of his room, "Come in and sleep, anyway, it's a double bed, so you can lie down."

Gu Tingyun just stared at Yu Xiao in a daze, and stood there without moving.Yu Xiao saw that he looked like he was out of his body, so he had no choice but to come over, pick up his quilt, and send it to his room.When he returned to the living room, Gu Tingyun had already walked around to the back of the sofa, facing Yu Xiao, with both hands propped back on the back of the sofa, hesitant to speak.

"Have you recovered?" Yu Xiao shook his hand a few times in front of Gu Tingyun's eyes.

Gu Tingyun opened and closed his mouth, and it took him a long time to spit out a sentence: "Cough, I have caused you trouble."

"This month's dinner is all made by you. I just lent you the bed for one night. It's not enough to repay the favor I owe you." After speaking, Yu Xiao patted Gu Tingyun's shoulder lightly, "Come in .”

Gu Tingyun followed Yu Xiao into his room.Yu Xiao put Gu Tingyun's pillow and quilt on the inner side of the bed and asked him to lie down first.He went to take a shower with a stack of clothes in his arms, and turned off the lights in the room and the living room when he went out.

When he came back, Gu Tingyun was lying motionless on the bed with his back turned to him, and he seemed to be asleep.Yu Xiao lay down quietly beside him, her back pressed against his back.He closed his eyes, and what became clearer and clearer like the sound of rain was Gu Tingyun's heartbeat.

Yu Xiao smelled the fragrance of shower gel on Gu Tingyun's body, and felt a sense of peace of mind for no reason. It was the kind of peace of mind she felt when she finally stood at the door of the house after a long journey and saw a light shining inside.It wasn't long before he fell asleep.

Gu Tingyun turned over carefully, and called out "Ah Xiao" very softly.Seeing that Yu Xiao didn't respond, he quietly rubbed over, reached out to caress his cheek, then slowly moved his hand down, touching his soft lips with his fingers.Gu Tingyun felt a weak electric current penetrate into his index fingertip, pass through the knuckles, follow the tendons, and slowly flow to the whole body.

He propped himself up a little with the other hand, then lowered his face towards Yu Xiao, and placed a kiss on his lips.

Gu Tingyun crawled back into his bed, just opened his eyes like this, watching Yu Xiao's back heaving steadily, a voice in his mind said: "What should be there will be, what should go will go."

It took an unknown amount of time before his eyelids were pressed down disobediently, and his consciousness became blurred.

While half asleep and half awake, Yu Xiao seemed to hear someone close to his ear, and said softly: "If they have to go someday...you have to stay, don't go."

He couldn't remember what he dreamed that night.He only remembered someone telling him, don't go.Tirelessly, I said it over and over again several times.He wasn't bored either, so he listened to it several times, resigned to his fate.

It was bright outside the window.When Yu Xiao woke up, Gu Tingyun still had his eyes closed and seemed to be in a deep sleep.

Yu Xiao lifted the quilt, walked out of the room lightly, and saw Gu Tingyun's door was open.The lodger had already left, and there was only a neatly folded quilt on the bed.

While Yu Xiao was still in the bathroom, Gu Tingyun came out of the room holding his quilt.He saw breakfast for two on the dining table, and knowing that Wen would get up early, he went downstairs to buy breakfast for him and Yu Xiao, and then went to school.

A note was pressed under the bowl mat, which read, "Eat after heating".Gu Tingyun put the note into the pocket of his pajamas, and then carried the breakfast bag into the kitchen.

The finished film was delivered on Friday, and she didn't receive any photography work from the magazine this week, so Yu Xiao finally ushered in a free weekend.After lunch, he sat in his room and read a book for a while.After keeping his head down for a long time, the back of his neck was a little sore.After reading half the book, he planned to go to the living room for some activities.

Gu Tingyun was sitting in the living room watching TV, and when he heard the movement behind him, he turned his head around.

"Going out?"

"No, my neck is sore, just stand up and walk around." Yu Xiao stretched, and then asked, "What about you, aren't you going out today?"

"I'll go out after the movie is over. My colleague gave me two tickets, and I'll go to the theater later."

Yu Xiao raised his eyebrows: "An extra ticket?"

Gu Tingyun vaguely sensed the meaning of Yu Xiao's words, so he tentatively asked, "Yeah, what's the matter?"

Yu Xiao replied bluntly: "I'll listen to it with you."

Gu Tingyun was stunned: "I thought you didn't listen to the show."

In his memory, Yu Xiao never went to the theater with him, nor did he show any interest in those DVDs on his bookshelf.

"I don't have anything else to do in the afternoon." Yu Xiao paused, and then added, "I see you like to listen to it very much, so go and listen to it if you think about it."

The corners of Gu Tingyun's mouth curled up: "Okay."

With a happy answer, he turned off the TV and walked quickly into the room to get the two tickets.

Yu Xiao studied journalism at university, and worked as a freelance photographer for the first few years after graduation. After arriving in N City, he worked in the news department of the TV station.He signed a three-year contract with the TV station. This is the only time he stayed in a city for a long-term job.

He has a good impression of N City.The city is along the coast, with fresh air and a mild climate.The greening of the urban area is well planned, and the summer wind blows into patches of green waves.The traffic is not congested, it is full of vitality during the day, and bustling but not noisy at night.The infrastructure is complete, there are many tourist attractions, and the ancient streets are well preserved. The exhibition hall will regularly hold art exhibitions or Ming and Qing jade auctions.The collections in the museum are also quite interesting. If you steal Fusheng for half a day, it is not uncommon to spend an afternoon in it.

With a heavy sense of history and a gentle temper, the breath here makes him feel at ease.

At this time, standing in front of him and Gu Tingyun is a Republic-style theater with a history of more than 80 years. The terrazzo floor is matched with Chinese-style walls, which looks classical and majestic. One of the most ideal places.

This time I listened to "The Peony Pavilion".When Gu Tingyun and Yu Xiao entered the screening hall, half of the seats were already filled.Find the seat written on the ticket and sit down, the two of them didn't talk anymore, just waited.

Waiting and waiting, the lights go down and the actors enter.

Having never heard of the opera, Yu Xiao also knows what kind of story "The Peony Pavilion" roughly tells.He just listened to it like this, and found it quite interesting.

Liniang sang: "It turns out that there are so many beautiful purples and reds blooming all over the world, and it seems like this is all ruined. The beautiful scenery on a good day..."

Listening to the babbling of the actors on stage, Yu Xiao suddenly felt that her mind was being sucked in slowly by an invisible hole.His head was swollen, and he didn't know whether it was due to the stuffiness in the theater or some other reason. In November, his hands were so hot that his hands were sweating.

Sudden heart palpitations.He turned his head and saw that Gu Tingyun's expression seemed to be about to cry.His side face was soaked in the faint light. Looking at it, Yu Xiao felt that Gu Tingyun seemed to have walked out of his dream.

Like a ghost, Yu Xiao said softly as if talking to himself: "I won't leave, why should I leave?"

His voice seemed to be floating with a layer of warm mist, and the gentleness inside was very light.

Gu Tingyun's hand on his lap trembled, and then two lines of tears fell down.

He didn't look at Yu Xiao, and Yu Xiao didn't look at him again.

The stage was still singing: "Where did we meet before? We looked at each other as if we had met long ago without saying a word."
