[Rebirth] One more blizzard and two worlds

Zhou Yu could only guess what emotion Yu Xiao was hiding with a smile.Yu Xiao stared at the computer screen intently, and the smile on his mouth gradually faded.He looked at it, his eyelids drooped, he leaned back, fell on the pillow and fell asleep.Zhou Yu turned off the computer for him and tucked him in. Seeing that the sun was about to set, it was almost time for him to go back.

When Gu Tingyun came back, Yu Xiao had already fallen into a deep sleep.He couldn't bear to disturb his dream, so he sat on the sofa and flipped through magazines to kill time, and waited for Yu Xiao to wake up naturally before making dinner.

At seven o'clock, Yu Xiao came out of the room and went to the kitchen to pour water without saying a word.He walked back to the living room with his water glass in hand, and sat down beside Gu Tingyun.He raised his head and took a sip of the steaming water, and was scalded without any suspense.

He frowned and swallowed the water, then immediately poked a piece of freshly cut apple with a toothpick and sent it to his mouth.

Gu Tingyun leaned on the sofa, stared at Yu Xiao with his head sideways for a long time, and there was a bit of a helpless smile in his voice when he spoke: "You just drink it when it's so hot?"

Similar scene, same dialogue.

Yu Xiao coughed a few times, but didn't speak.

Gu Tingyun stroked his forehead with his right hand, and pressed his left palm against his forehead, compared the temperature of the two, and then said softly, "The fever has probably subsided."

Yu Xiao grabbed Gu Tingyun's hand on his forehead and placed it by his side.There was a smile on the corner of his mouth, like a light cloud: "Tingyun, thank you."

Gu Tingyun squeezed Yu Xiao's hand: "I'll cook."

Yu Xiao looked at Gu Tingyun with blurred eyes: "Wait a minute."

Gu Tingyun looked at him puzzled: "What's wrong?"

"No, nothing." Yu Xiao looked away.

Gu Tingyun took his hand out of Yu Xiao's, stood up and prepared to cook.As he was about to leave, Yu Xiao grabbed his wrist from behind.

"You sit, I'll go."

Gu Tingyun tilted his head and smiled at him: "The cold is just right, I can't bear it if you fall down again."

Yu Xiao let go of his hand.He stared blankly at Gu Tingyun walking towards the kitchen step by step, feeling lost in his heart.If you try to catch the emotion that just flashed through your brain, you can't catch it.

Yu Xiao sat cross-legged on the sofa, his brain, which had just recovered from full sobriety, was now very active.He stared fixedly at the magazines Gu Tingyun put on the coffee table, and couldn't stop thinking about something.

Every time he came back from work until late at night, he would see Gu Tingyun in pajamas, wrapped in a towel blanket, sitting on the sofa watching TV, without exception.But on the day when he got off work according to the normal time, he hardly saw Gu Tingyun staying up late, entering the room earlier than him every time.

He felt strange, but didn't ask.

Gu Tingyun knew that the sound of opening the door gently would not wake Yu Xiao up, so he would often lean against his door after waking up at night, just silently and motionlessly looking at Yu Xiao who was sleeping with his back to the door night.Yu Xiao often does not draw the curtains, so Gu Tingyun can barely see the scene in the room through the everlasting city neon lights outside.Of course, Yu Xiao didn't know about these things.

What remained in Yu Xiao's memory was a night when he had a low fever not long ago.The momentary impression is very vague, like the sun shadow cut into pieces in the lake when the water ripples slightly due to the wind.

That night, Gu Tingyun saw Yu Xiao turning over frequently, so he tiptoed in and saw a thin layer of sweat on his forehead.He brought a wet towel to wipe Yu Xiao's sweat, Yu Xiao's mind was muddled, half asleep, half awake, looking sleepily at the face that suddenly appeared in front of him.

Gu Tingyun blinked: "It's just a dream."

Yu Xiao was having a fever, and his head was as heavy as lead.The wet towel made him feel more comfortable, and no matter how many questions he had, he was washed away by the overwhelming sleepiness.

He closed his eyelids again, and finally fell asleep peacefully.

Hearing his steady breathing, Gu Tingyun suddenly felt hot, couldn't help but leaned down, and planted a kiss on his pale lips, then stuck out his tongue and licked the place he just kissed, Only then did she gently walk out of Yu Xiao's room with a towel.

This was the first time that Gu Tingyun entered his room without Yu Xiao's permission, but was discovered by Yu Xiao.The only thing that made him feel lucky was that Yu Xiao didn't know about that kiss.

After this incident, Yu Xiao still did not lock the door.

Two dishes and one soup, a simple dinner.

"What did you want to talk about just now?" Gu Tingyun held up his chopsticks and asked casually.

"It's nothing important." Yu Xiao stared down at the plate of tomato cauliflower in front of him, with an unpredictable expression on his face, "My contract with the TV station will expire in four months."

Gu Tingyun's hand holding the chopsticks trembled.It was the first time he heard the phrase "the contract is about to expire" from Yu Xiao's mouth, and he didn't even know that Yu Xiao's work in the TV station was a contract system.

He collected himself, guessing that in his previous life Yu Xiao decided to renew his contract directly after establishing a relationship with him, so he didn't bring this matter up to him.But this time he deliberately told himself this matter, what is the meaning?

I have been with him day and night for more than three years, but I still can't figure it out.

Gu Tingyun had no choice but to ask symbolically: "Are you going to renew the contract? Or..."

"Haven't thought about it yet." Yu Xiao paused, "Just talking casually."

"Anyway, there is still time, let's think about it slowly."

"……Um."

Gu Tingyun kept picking up vegetables and sending them to his mouth, the salty taste was on the tip of his tongue, but bitterness spread in his heart.There are only four months left, Yu Xiao may stay here for another four months before leaving.

Should he tell Yu Xiao directly what he wants, or will he pack his bag and travel with him four months later?

The latter is impractical, but the former is desperate.

The two of them buried their heads in the food, filling their stomachs with little effort.After dinner, both of them went into the room to rest early, without talking all night.

Half a month later, Gu Tingyun went to the hospital to remove the plaster cast, and the injury on his left foot was considered healed.When he landed on both feet, he almost fell to one side. He had been relying on crutches for too long, and he was not used to walking in a real way.After walking for a while, he slowly regained the feeling of walking well.

It snowed a little that day, Gu Tingyun left the subway station and walked home alone.In the dusk of deep winter, there is still a thin sunset.The metasequoia and ginkgo on both sides of the road are soaked in the crisp yellow light, the sparrow stands on the treetop, and the light gray feathers melt into the light shadows of the thin branches, like hydrating water.

Gu Tingyun put his hands in his coat pockets and walked unhurriedly.I bought some desserts when I passed the pastry shop, and then there was a coffee shop with floral curtains, and a pot of pink hyacinth balls stood on the windowsill, which was still some days away from blooming.

The whole city is like a huge chessboard, and thousands of houses are brightly lit.

Yu Xiao leaned against the window, watching Gu Tingyun slowly walk into the alley.After walking a few steps, Gu Tingyun raised his head and glanced at the coral vines clinging to the balcony of a family. The wind blew over obliquely, and bits of snow fell on his shoulders.

He was dressed very warmly, with a scarf wrapped around his neck several times, and a long windbreaker covering most of his body. The yellow light on both sides shone on his body, making him look warm.

The person upstairs pressed the shutter, and the person downstairs turned a corner and entered the staircase.

As soon as Gu Tingyun opened the door, he felt the pleasant heat in the room.He changed his shoes in the hallway and walked into the living room. Just as he was about to make a cup of hot tea, he saw his water cup on the coffee table. It just so happened, a cup of hot tea.

He turned his head to look at the person who was also sitting on the sofa.He looked like he had just taken a shower, with short curly black hair still tinged with moisture.A pair of long and narrow phoenix eyes are hidden behind the glasses, and at first glance they look sharp.

Sensing that someone was staring at him, Yu Xiao turned his head and met Gu Tingyun's eyes.

"Thank you."

Gu Tingyun raised his water glass as a signal.Yu Xiao said kindly that it was nothing, and smiled at him.

——At first glance, the sharp edge pierces into the bone, but at another glance, it is tender and tender.

After taking a hot bath, Gu Tingyun stood at the door of Yu Xiao's room with a water glass in his hand, and knocked on the door symbolically. When Yu Xiao turned his head to look at him, he whispered: "I... come and see look at you."

Yu Xiao turned the chair around and faced him: "Look."

"I'd like to see your photobook... is that okay?"

"Yes." Yu Xiao opened the middle drawer of the desk, took out a thick booklet, held it in both hands and handed it to Gu Tingyun, "Sit on the bed and read."

Gu Tingyun took his photo album, sat down on the edge of the bed, and began to flip through the scenes that Yu Xiao had left on the film page by page, watching a bird returning home flitting through the shade, watching the spring The flow is surging in the south of the Yangtze River, watching the green vines entangle the already thin and yellowed tree trunks into green smoke, watching the sky at the bottom of the clear stream, and people walking in the clouds.

"It's beautiful," he murmured.

"I hope there will be more and more beautiful ones." There was a faint smile in Yu Xiao's voice.

The water in the glass shook and almost spilled.

"Then it's going to be more of a walk."

A lamp illuminates the two people who are sitting in cloaked clothes at night, and two thoughts grow quietly in the peaceful night.
