The mobile phone software push said that a cold current has rapidly descended from the north to the south, and the effect will be very significant. For example, it will cool down again in the middle of the night.
Chu Yu was lying on the bed, listening to the whirring of the wind outside the window.
He remembered that when he was a child, he was very afraid of such a night.
In his eyes, all light and shadow will turn into bloody tentacles and sharp minions of monsters. All the rustling of leaves were dangerous movements of monsters lurching outside the window.
At that time, every night, he would hold on to the quilt tightly, telling himself stories to hypnotize himself, hoping that when he fell asleep, he would not be afraid.
Resting his elbows on the bed, Chu Yu half-raised his body, reached out and fished out a game console, making sure there was still electricity, he changed his posture and played with him on the bed.
Open the newly downloaded puzzle game, the beginning is very simple, almost no need to use your brain, Chu Yu passed four or five levels in a row, with his fingers on the button, he couldn't help but look in the direction of the door.
His mother never stayed at home very long, there were too many things for her to deal with, too many problems to solve.
I don't know if Shi Yaling is still there.
Thinking of what Shi Yaling said just now, as well as the stern expression on his face, Chu Yu felt irritable in his heart. But it didn't take long for this irritability to dissipate again.
Lying on the soft pillow, Chu Yu thought, does this count, he is a little more mature
No matter how Shi Yaling accuses and opposes, he is very clear about what he should insist on and what he cannot give up.
In the past, he lived in a daze, and regarded Shi Yaling as very important, and even subconsciously attached a lot of feelings and emotions to Shi Yaling.
So after realizing the truth, it took such a long period of buffering.
But now, it seems to be different.
Thinking of this, Chu Yu put his hand to the tip of his nose and smelled it—this is probably the breath of a mature man
At this time, Chu Yu faintly felt something. He turned his head, stared at the floor-to-ceiling window for a few seconds, got up hesitantly, stepped barefoot on the carpet, walked to the window, and looked down.
The buildings in the villa area of the South Island are scattered, and the lights of another household can be seen only after a long distance.
Correspondingly, for the sake of beauty and privacy, the greening in every place is done very well. Although it is winter, all the branches and leaves are still lush.
Beside the bushes, beside the lamp post painted with dark green paint, Lu Shi wore a black coat, his jeans stretched his long legs straight, and his hands were habitually in his pockets.
As if feeling something at the same moment, Lu Shi raised his head.
The boy's facial features were not very clear in the night, and he was even immersed in shadows, as if he wanted to blend in with the background.
Chu Yu heard his heartbeat gradually become stronger, and beat on the eardrum without interruption.
Lu Shi was very patient, just stood by the lamp post and looked at him quietly.
But Chu Yu couldn't bear it any longer, he forgot to put on his slippers, turned around and ran out the door.
He gently opened the bedroom door and walked down the corridor. It was pitch black downstairs. It was estimated that Shi Yaling had already left, and Aunt Lan had gone to bed early. Chu Yu stepped on the ground with bare feet, went downstairs silently, and went out the door.
Panting and stopping in front of Lu Shi, Chu Yu's eyes seemed to be filled with a lingering amber. He wanted to restrain and calm down, but the corners of his mouth and the end of his eyes couldn't hold back at all, and his voice was even more excited, "Lu Shi, why are you here?"
Lu Shi looked at the light-colored sweater that Chu Yu was wearing, and the ankle that was exposed because he was not wearing socks. Before answering, he took off his black coat and put it on Chu Yu.
Wrapped in the familiar breath, Chu Yu realized that he was running so fast that he even forgot his coat.
"Don't you miss me a little bit?"
After two seconds of reaction, Chu Yu understood that this was the answer given by Lu Shi.
However, is this impossible to bypass
Chu Yu found out that his boyfriend seemed to be indifferent and careless about everything, but in fact, he was terrifyingly small-minded.
He hurriedly said, "More than a little thought, I miss you very much!"
"How much is more than a little?"
My day, is it necessary for us to have this kind of elementary school-level discussion on a winter night
Chu Yu racked his brains and tentatively gave the answer, "Probably, I think a little more than you think about me!"
Only then was Lu Shi satisfied, "Well."
Standing on the spot, Lu Shi lowered his eyes, looked at Chu Yu wrapped in his coat, and suddenly said, "Hold me?"
Chu Yu originally thought that there was something to hug, but he had only seen it in the afternoon! He is not such a hypocrite!
But Lu Shi had a magnet on his body, and he felt that he couldn't refuse it at all.
No longer tangled, he took a step forward, Chu Yu leaned over, and put his chin on Lu Shi's shoulder.
Take the night bus and walk towards Qingchuan Road.
At night, there are far less cars running on the road than during the day.
In the bus compartment, apart from Lu Shi and Chu Yu, who were sitting in the penultimate row, there were only two passengers in the front row.
The light was dim, Chu Yu held the phone, chatted a few words in the class group, and was about to swipe Weibo when the screen was suddenly turned off by Lu Shi.
He was puzzled and looked at Lu Shi who was sitting next to him, "What's wrong?"
The light of the street lamp shone in from the car window, and fell into Lu Shi's dark eyes, like a fading star.
His voice was low, "I want to kiss you."
Chu Yu really wanted to kiss, but he was a little hesitant because it was on the bus. Just as he was torn between agreeing or rejecting, Lu Shi had already kissed him first.
Not asking for his opinion at all, just telling.
Without struggling, Chu Yu grabbed the plastic handrail and was quickly kissed by Lu Shi.
He quietly opened his eyes and looked at the thin eyelids, the tiny blue blood vessels, and the shadows from the eyelashes when he landed. The emotions that he had been brought up by seeing Shi Yaling before slowly sank back to the bottom of his heart.
This man can always calm him down.
When Chu Yu tried to kiss Lu back, the two noses rubbed together, and their hot breaths blended together.
Suddenly, Chu Yu realized that something was wrong.
He withdrew his lips and pressed his forehead against Lu Shi's, frowning tightly, "Lu Shi, you seem to have a fever?"
When I got off the bus, the bus stop sign on Qingchuan Road was bright. Chu Yu looked around and found that all the pharmacies and clinics were closed.
Lu Shi put his hands in his pockets and followed him unhurriedly. Seeing that Chu Yu was in a hurry, he put his arms on Chu Yu's shoulders, hugged him close, and buried his face in Chu Yu's neck, "It's not serious. ,go home."
It was certain that only Internet cafes and barbecue stalls were open near Qingchuan Road, so Chu Yu had to give up.
Walking on the road, he was close to Lu Shi again, worried, "If you can't walk steadily, just hold me, and I will lead you."
Lu Shi wanted to say that he wasn't so weak, but seeing Chu Yu's eyes full of worry, he replied "OK" without saying anything else.
Chu Yu was still trying to analyze, "Why did you suddenly have a fever? Didn't you feel fine when you left school in the afternoon? I didn't catch a cold... Wait, you go home to take a shower. What you can't wash is cold water, right?"
"no."
Chu Yu looked directly at Lu Shi and asked, "Really?"
"… warm water."
Chu Yu sighed and wanted to say something, but when he saw Lu Shi'an sitting there quietly, his high fever eyes were a little red and pitiful, he shook Lu Shi's hand, "Let's go, go back."
Lu Shi's house had no fever-reducing medicine thermometer, the refrigerator was even more empty, and there was not even a piece of ice. Chu Yu had no choice but to guess that the temperature should not be low based on the feel.
Unskilledly boiled the water and cooled it to a suitable temperature, Chu Yu brought it to the bedside and supervised the landing when he finished drinking it.
After making sure that there was not a drop left, Chu Yu was about to put the water glass away, and as soon as he got up, the hand hanging by his side was held.
It was different from the slightly cool touch in the past. Because of the fever, Lu Shi's palm was very hot and dry.
"Lu Shi?"
Lu Shi was lying on the bed with a pillow. Because of the heat, the quilt only covered his waist.
He held Chu Yu's hand, half-closed his eyelids without any energy, and his voice was much more hoarse than before, "Don't go."
Chu Yu felt that the softest part of his heart was scratched.
He casually put the water glass away and sat down beside the bed again, "Okay, don't go."
Kneading-pinching Chu Yu's fingers, Lu Shi moved to the position against the wall again, making room, "Come up."
At this time, Lu Shi was completely different from peacetime.
He was obviously sick, but he became harmless because of the ruthlessness of his eyebrows and the cold aura around him.
There are even some who never show weakness.
Chu Yu felt that at this moment, even if he showed one ten thousandth of his unwillingness, it would be cruel!
He didn't hesitate at all, lay down beside Lu Shi and hugged him like a pillow.
Lu Shi hugged the person, approached first, and bit Chu Yu's earlobe. It was only when Chu Yumin was found that his breathing was slightly disordered that he loosened his teeth.
He put his finger on Chu Yu's lips again, and traced along the lip line, "Tast it, the blood is not hot."
He opened his mouth and grabbed Lu Shi's fingers. Chu Yu controlled the force to bite down, only sucking a little blood before letting go.
"A little hotter than usual."
"Um."
Lu Shi's voice seemed lazy, less cold than usual, and more soft.
Chu Yu lowered his voice, "Would you like to sleep?"
"it is good."
Lu Shi responded and tightened his arms around Chu Yu, "Accompany me."
"Okay, accompany you, don't leave."
After nearly half an hour, after confirming that Lu Shi's breathing had stabilized, Chu Yu breathed a sigh of relief.
He didn't dare to sleep. He carefully felt the body temperature when he landed, and thought that if the fever didn't go away tomorrow morning, he would have to take someone to the hospital.
Also, the water heater needs to be repaired.
In these aspects, Lu Shi didn't take it to heart at all. Chu Yu even suspected that if the water heater came out with cold water instead of warm water, Lu Shi would still wash it correctly.
After thinking about it all, Chu Yu's eyes fell on Lu Shi's wrist resting on the sheet.
He always knew that Lu Shi was used to wearing things on his left wrist, usually a black broadband watch, and sometimes a black wrist guard.
With thin wrists and nice lines, it will look good no matter what you wear.
Wanting Lu Shi to sleep more comfortably, Chu Yu reached out and prepared to take off the watch.
Lu Shi, who was drowsy originally, moved his wrist subconsciously and frowned slightly. But because the burn was so severe, he didn't wake up.
Chu Yu didn't notice Lu Shi's strangeness, he lightened his movements and carefully untied the black strap.
But in the next second stunned.
Under the loosened strap, there are cold white skin, blue blood vessels, and thin scars.
Some have healed with only shallow marks left, while others are still new and glowing red.
Almost suddenly, Chu Yu figured out the origin of these scars.
He had tried countless times to replace Lu Shi, imagining Lu Shi's psychology. But I found that the hardest part is empathy.
He didn't know how Lu Shi came here after learning the truth for such a long period of time. How did it gradually become what it is now
He didn't know what kind of environment Lu Shi lived in and what kind of damage he suffered in the seventeen years before that.
And how difficult and painful is it that Lu Shi will cut the skin of his wrist with his own hands, wanting to use the pain in his body to relieve the pain and sadness in his heart
Chu Yu didn't dare to think about it.
Not at all.
Holding his breath, shaking his fingertips, he re-buckled the strap until all the scars were hidden.
Turning around slowly, Chu Yu lay on his side on the bed, looking at Lu Shi who was sleeping.
He didn't know how to describe in words how he was feeling right now. It just felt as if a sharp knife had been pierced into his heart, stirring and slashing in it, and the pain made him want to curl up.
At this moment, all the fog blocking his eyes dissipated.
Before, he didn't know what he wanted or what he wanted to do. I don't even know what kind of person I want to be, what kind of future I want to have.
Now he knows.
He wanted to be strong enough, strong enough to support him and protect him.
