broken sun

Because Qi Nian fell asleep in the car, he went to the bathroom with Gu Saming to wash his face before going downstairs.When the semi-frosted glass door was pushed open, a strong scent of aromatherapy came to the nostrils, and Qi Nian wrinkled his face and shrunk his nose from behind.

There were toiletries on the washstand, Gu Saming tore off the towel from the shelf, it smelled strongly of disinfectant, and put it back on again, he turned around and saw Qi Nian's disgusted look, and said with a smile: "Go outside and get the towel Bring the towel you brought."

The next moment, he stopped Qi Nian who had just turned around, picked up the glass bottle of incense from the black-patterned marble table, and handed it over.

"Put this one out of the window sill too, close the window, and be careful."

Qi Nian held his breath and followed them one by one. When he came back holding the white towel, he was still thinking about it. Just now when he was looking for the towel and saw the reference book that Gu Saming was carrying, he was inexplicably ashamed.

The time for the two of them to go out was neither early nor late, they lived on the 17th floor, Qi Nian squinted his eyes while waiting for the elevator, the resplendently decorated walls revealed a little flashy, and the reflections glare everywhere.

Maybe it was dinner time, there were a lot of people in the elevator, it was packed.

Qi Nian blinked his eyelashes, staring blankly at the crack of the elevator at close range.

Gu Saming stood behind him, with broad shoulders and long legs, separating him from the group of people behind him into a small space. Gu Saming looked down at Qi Nian's hair, and asked casually, "Are you hungry?"

Qi Nian shook his head, nodded again, then turned his head back, his hair scraped against Gu Saming's face: "Dinner will be ready soon."

The elevator dinged, and Gu Saming pushed his shoulders to step out. The other people in the same elevator seemed to come to the restaurant for dinner, and they passed them in twos and threes and walked ahead.

Gu Saming led Qi Nian through the various people dining in the hall according to the seat position notified.

They were the last to arrive, and Tang Xi waved to them enthusiastically after seeing them first.

Although there is a group of people together, the pattern is still a separate table, and the two sit face to face.

Because several teachers who accompanied the team needed to discuss tomorrow's matters in advance, they didn't have dinner with them, and the rest of them could just make up five tables.

Because Qi Nian and Gu Saming were the last to arrive, they sat down by the window, mottled light and shadow cast through the hollowed-out window casement, and there were two pink roses on the delicate conical porcelain vase on the table, which perfectly matched the orange-yellow skylight .

While waiting for the meal, the students at the next table all expressed nervousness when they talked about tomorrow's exam, and they even pulled Gu Saming to chat for a few words, pouring out meaningless words.

Gu Saming answered a few perfunctory words, then turned around and said, "What are you thinking?"

Qi Nian woke up like sleepwalking, quickly looked away, then quickly looked at Gu Saming again, and said seriously, "Can I do this?"

"Yes," Gu Saming faced the setting sun, he answered the question first, then looked at Qi Nian seriously, and smiled again, "Are you all nervous?"

"What about tomorrow?"

Qi Nian said, "Don't be nervous tomorrow."

But now it's stressful.

It was the first time for him to sit in such a bright place and eat with Gu Saming.

Qi Nian took a napkin from the wooden box in front of the table, held it in his hand, and wiped his sweat.

Gu Saming only leaned forward a little laxly, wanting to say something several times, but in the end he didn't say anything.

A waiter dressed in a white waiter uniform came to serve them meals.

Ever since Qi Nian was forced by Gu Saming and himself to eat more, his appetite has improved a lot compared to the beginning.

It's just that the speed is still slow.

The students next to them went upstairs one after another after eating, yelling, "Sharpen your guns before the battle, light up if you don't light it up." Several people, including Tang Xi, greeted Gu Saming before leaving.

Qi Nian glanced around and found that they were the only ones left at the table, so he made a gesture to put down his chopsticks.

"You are not allowed to leave today until you finish eating." Gu Saming said before he put down the chopsticks.

Gu Saming's tone was not fierce, even with a smile on his face, but his attitude was clear at a glance: "We have plenty of time."

So Qi Nian ate slowly, seemingly weak and pitiful and aggrieved to eat alone - but the food in the restaurant tasted surprisingly good, Qi Nian didn't force himself to eat, Gu Saming let him eat, he was quite happy .

Except that Gu Saming had been sitting opposite him and "monitoring" him for a moment, which made him a little uncomfortable.

In the end, Qi Nian didn't finish his portion of dinner.

Gu Saming estimated his younger brother's food intake, fearing that it would be bad if he was too full, he took him out of the restaurant in time, because Qi Nian's obedience made him extremely helpless, if he didn't stop, Qi Nian would really take care of the dishes everything in it.

The two of them did not take the elevator back to the room, but walked along the gravel road beside the fountain at the entrance of the hotel, and went for a walk in the small garden for guests to relax.

After walking a few steps, Gu Saming felt someone rub the back of his hand.

—His brother wanted to hold hands with him again.

Gu Saming didn't respond, he didn't take the initiative to pull it, and he couldn't put it back in his trouser pocket.

He descended two flights of steps at a constant speed.

But Qi Nian no longer hesitated like before, but directly put his hand into his palm.

At first, Gu Saming let Qi Nian do whatever he wanted without reason, but in the next second he suddenly grabbed Qi Nian's hand and pulled him forward at will, which surprised Qi Nian.

"What do you want to do?" Gu Saming asked.

"Can't you?" Qi Nian slowed down, asked in a low voice calmly, and looked at Gu Saming.

Gu Saming looked at him with drooping eyelids for a while before continuing to move forward.

He squeezed Qi Nian's hand with a little strength, and walked under the pergola with a violet vine on both sides of the path.

Although it is not a normal flowering period, it seems that because of the human care of the hotel, the flowers bloom very luxuriantly, and the gradual purple color changes from light to deep, covering the field of vision in clusters.

"Yes." Gu Saming finally spoke, his voice was muffled by the darkened twilight.

He continued to ask: "Qi Nian, do you think I treat you well?"

Qi Nian was stunned, then nodded affirmatively.

Gu Saming stopped to look at him, Qi Nian was still very thin, but he was no longer as dull, immature and dispensable as he had imagined before, but was growing and developing, which could make people feel soft and distressed, and his appearance was really not good The young man who "disappeared from everyone".

Gu Saming said: "Qi Nian, brother should be nice to you, and it doesn't make any difference if it's someone else."

Qi Nian softly retorted: "But you weren't..."

"So even I'm not that good, and you don't need to listen to everything I have to say," Gu Saming said, "Don't just believe someone who treats you better, don't be so stupid."

Where there are dense flowers and plants, there are more mosquitoes. They fly around in front of Qi Nian's eyes, and some of them will bump into his pants and arms during the flight. Qi Nian stands motionless while Gu Saming holds his hand.

This is the second time he heard the words "I'm not that good" from others, and at this moment, facing Gu Saming, he couldn't turn his head around at all, frowning, but instinctively, Slowly tell the other person: "I only believe in you."

Because he clearly remembered that Gu Saming had cared about this matter in a nonchalant tone many times.

Qi Nian knew it - Gu Saming wanted him to believe him.

Gu Saming was treated hostilely by Qi Nian's "only one family", and he also uniquely possesses all of Qi Nian's docile sides.

And even all the trust.

Not only is it difficult for him to refuse such trust, but he desperately needs it.

No one knows that in the eyes of everyone, Gu Saming, who is omnipotent in the eyes of everyone, can do everything easily, has no troubles at all, lacks in everything, and is loved by countless people, needs Qi Nian's trust.

He used to spend more than ten years in Gu's family, whether it was the care of his adoptive parents or the dependence of his spoiled younger brother, they finally covered up the vacancy that was not clear when he was young and had nowhere to turn.

But the vacant gap is tricky and weird. It has been neglected and barely covered up for so many years. After meeting Qi Nian again, it began to wake up and make trouble.

If it's just here, for Gu Saming who acts prudently and can have a lot of tenderness, it's not difficult to be Qi Nian's brother again.

Reality also happens to have already arrived here.

But it doesn't stop here.

They returned to the hotel room from the mosquito-flying garden, Gu Saming asked Qi Nian to take a shower first, and said to take out the things he needed in the schoolbag, Qi Nian stood up from the small sofa, walked to the table, opened the zipper of the schoolbag, and put a change of clothes Take it out and hold it in one hand, and then slowly put the stationery bag and draft book on the table.

Gu Saming stood aside and watched him grind his hand, and dug into his schoolbag for a long time like a mystery, Gu Saming raised his chin at him: "That's all?"

Qi Nian: "Yes."

Gu Saming laughed and joked, "Is it true that you are here for a trip? Or have you prepared everything in secret?"

He didn't mean to blame or question, let the ashamed Qi Nian take a new towel from his bag, and let him in to take a bath.

After Qi Nian finished washing, he changed into new clothes and came out. Gu Saming sat on the chair and looked up at him, took the clothes and got up to go to the bathroom.

Qi Nian was outside alone, sitting on another chair.

He neatly stacked the few reference books that were already on the table, then consciously took the top one, and read along with the notes Gu Saming had made.

It is easy for him to enter a learning state, or more than a learning state. Qi Nian can easily enter any state and sink down.

But the only thing that distracted him was the sound of Gu Saming taking a shower in the bathroom.

It was just the ordinary sound of running water, but Qi Nian listened carefully to the movement along the way while reading the question.

This night, Qi Nian sat side by side with Gu Saming and read a book together as if in the master bedroom on the second floor of the villa in Yuncheng, which faces the best and has the widest view.

At 10:30, they stopped writing, and Qi Nian followed the direction of Gu Saming's finger and fell asleep on the bed by the window.

Everything in the hotel is not comfortable and satisfactory - the overly strong fragrance, the dazzlingly gorgeous decoration, the dense crowd in the elevator, and the slight smell of disinfectant on the bedding at the moment.

But Qi Nian was still satisfied, feeling strange and subtle excitement and excitement.

Just by imagining that he and Gu Saming are sleeping in the same room, it is hard enough to fall asleep.

And this day, the only thing that made Qi Nian a little uneasy was what Gu Saming said in the garden.

He could only hear the literal meaning, and felt that Gu Saming was also treating him well, but he still had some unexplainable intuitions.

Because he couldn't fall asleep, and was still in a high mood, Qi Nian tossed and turned in the thin quilt. He turned to the door, pulled down a corner of the quilt, and secretly wanted to see if Gu Saming was asleep.

His heart was beating like a drum, and he tentatively called softly: "Brother..."

In the pitch darkness, only Gu Saming's back was turned to his head, his broad back was motionless.

Qi Nian rolled his eyes and called out again: "Gu Saming."

"You still want to go to the house to reveal the tiles?"

Gu Saming suddenly made a sound at this time, scared Qi Nian's heart tightened, and suddenly fell silent. He is not moving now because he dare not move.

Gu Saming turned to look at him, and asked in a low voice, "Can't sleep?"

For some reason, at night with poor eyesight, Gu Saming's voice reached Qi Nian's ears through the quiet air, and a tingling electric current exploded from his ears to his heart.

Qi Nian also sat up, and said "Mmm" without making any sound.

"Why can't I fall asleep? Find the bed?"

Now let him ask why he can't fall asleep, that is, he is so restless that he can't fall asleep.

And Qi Nian answered yes to Gu Saming's statement.

Gu Saming said helplessly, "Then what should I do?"

There was only a small bedside table between the two beds where they were sleeping. Qi Nian sat cross-legged on the quilt with messy hair, staring dazedly, unable to give an answer.

Gu Saming sighed, lifted the quilt and got off the bed, pushed Qi Nian's shoulders to make him lie down again, then squatted in the aisle between the two beds, and said, "Close your eyes and count."

He paused for a moment. Originally, he felt that the way of coaxing elementary school students like Gu Saqing was inappropriate, but he still gave Qi Nian an option: "Or tell a story."

Qi Nian was pressed on the bed by him without any resistance. If there was still a trace of sleepiness before, now it means that there is no sleepiness at all.

He bit the bullet and chose to tell a story.

Gu Saming looked at him seemingly speechless, and began to tell a rough and short story.

"Once upon a time there was a child who went to the mountains to herd sheep every day..."

Qi Nian closed his eyes and listened carefully with eyelashes moving.

After the story was finished, Qi Nian opened his eyes slightly after a while, and leaned back to support his upper body on his elbows.

Gu Saming closed his lips, his Adam's apple rolled under the faint light: "Okay, go to sleep."

The incense utensils taken out of the bathroom during the day were put in a corner outside the window sill by Gu Saming because of the pungent smell, but the smell still lingered in the room.

Qi Nian was lying on his back just now, what he heard with his eyes closed was the sound of electricity flowing through, and then sensitively smelled the dizzying smell in his nose.

He was also keenly aware of the changes in his body.

Qi Nian and Gu Saming looked at each other silently for a while, and remembered some reality and some dreams.

The narrow alleys, the ambiguous sound of water, the heat or warmth of all physical contact.

The unreal but real hard chest pressed down, the whispers were wrapped in air, and the hands that came up made people tremble and limp.

In such a stare, Qi Nian's eyes gradually lost focus.

He himself couldn't believe it, as if the soul was watching the physical movements, he was also dumbfounded.

For the first time, Qi Nian took advantage of the dull and gloomy darkness to do something he yearned for.

Gu Saming pursed his lips, he didn't respond to Qi Nian who was not sleeping obediently and slowly approaching him, he seemed indifferent.

Only then did he realize that his younger brother was always beyond his imagination - this time, Qi Nian was even more daring than he had imagined.

In a split second, the tense nerves in his brain couldn't hold back any longer, and his limbs took a step ahead of his brain.

Gu Saming pushed his younger brother away, not being rude.

After a brief period of stillness and air stagnation, Gu Saming did not forget to help Qi Nian pull up the quilt before getting up.
