When I'm at home alone, I always feel that the house is empty, but after watching a ghost movie, I feel that there are people everywhere, in the wardrobe, under the bed, and even the black shadows of trees swaying behind the curtains. Weird picture.
Gu Lai sat on the sofa, his hands wrapped around his knees unconsciously, his eyes swept vigilantly across the dark place under the bed, wondering if it would be the same as in the movie, where there is a long-dead female corpse lying with those eyes. Underneath, staring at myself day and night…
stop...
I can't think about it anymore, the more I think about it, the more scared I get.
Gu Lai pursed his lips and wiped his eyes vigorously with his sleeves. He is already an adult, so he can no longer keep babbling like when he was playing football. He remembered that he had to go to the training class the next day, got up and set the alarm clock for the morning, and then forced Turned on the deep sleep program, and huddled on the sofa all night.
Shen You stayed up all night.
Sometimes it's not a good thing to be too arrogant. He has never been soft with anyone in his life. When he came out of the closet, he was beaten to death by the old man at home and never said a soft word.
His character is too unpleasant, and his useless arrogance will deceive people's hearts, so that he can't always figure out what he wants, so he always misses the first half of his life.
Just like the elder brother on Shen You, Tang Yishan and Ke Jing also have brothers. Someone has chosen the mainstay of the family business, and the people under them are only responsible for eating and waiting for death. If nothing happens, the family should be Amitabha.
Ke Jing had run a company before, but the management was extremely chaotic, most of them were his friends, and some rich kids came in to join in the fun. It was hot for three minutes, and if you think about it, it wouldn't make much of a difference.
During the dinner party in the evening, Shen You didn't eat or drink. He stared blankly at the screen of his mobile phone, trying to refresh, as if he was waiting for someone's news. Tang Yishan asked the waiter to go down and glanced at him without a trace. Deeply said: "Don't poke, after a while the screen is broken and you have to get a new mobile phone, what a hassle."
Shen You heard the words and raised his eyes coldly, threw the phone on the table, slowly turned the silver ring with letters on his tail finger, and sneered, "If it's broken, replace it, it's not that I can't replace it."
Tang Yishan felt that there was something in these words, he rubbed his chin thoughtfully, and before he could say anything, Ke Jing, who was immersed in playing games, raised his head and said heartlessly: "What are you doing, being kicked by someone? already?"
"Go away," Shen You took the phone back, and found that the message interface was still empty, he frowned unconsciously, and his handsome face was clouded with clouds, "It's almost the same for me to kick others."
Tang Yishan sat close to him with great interest when he heard the words, took out the phone, glanced at the screen without a trace, and swiped his fingertips to keep the screen bright: "Yo, there is a situation, come come, stop playing with the phone first, and follow Dude, tell me how you kicked."
Ke Jing also came over: "Come on, talk, talk."
Shen You pursed his lips coldly, raised his eyebrows and sneered: "However you kick those girls, I will kick him."
Tang Yishan was not shy at all, and helped the glasses on the bridge of his nose: "That's easy to handle, the third one, apologize and refuse to block again, I wonder how far you have progressed, brother?"
As he spoke, he shook the screen of his mobile phone, and the words "Gu Lai" were clearly written on the top sticker: "I haven't deleted it yet, do you want me to help you?"
Just like the friendship between girls, the sisters are scum, the best friend naturally doesn't want her to repeat the same mistakes, the boys are the same, Tang Yishan is so keen, where can't see Shen You's recent abnormality, really don't want him to take the bait again.
Tang Yishan said: "After so many years, you still haven't made any progress, and you've been deceived into confusion."
The fingertips moved slightly between the words, and the person at the top had been deleted.
"do not!"
Seeing this, Shen You's pupils shrank in shock, and he hurried to grab it. The chair dragged the ground and made a harsh sound, but it was too late, that person had already been deleted.
Gone
Just gone
Shen You grabbed the phone back, and flipped through the list one by one without believing in evil. His paranoid appearance was frightening. Ke Jing scratched his head and felt that Tang Yishan was a bit too much. No matter what, he couldn't delete other people's friends. Well, why don't you add it back?"
Tang Yishan was the most calm, he took care of the crumpled collar he had just grabbed, looked at Shen You, and calmly said: "What are you doing here, didn't you kick him, or did you just brag, in fact It wasn't him who was kicked, but you?"
When Shen You heard the words, his movements were abrupt, like a fire that was suddenly quenched, and there was only silence. After a while, he squinted, pulled the chair expressionlessly and sat down again, threw the phone on the table with a bang, and moved. He irritably lit a cigarette and slowly exhaled a puff of smoke, but he inhaled so hard that his eyes were red: "Whoever brags is the one who kicked him..."
His cigarette addiction seemed to be getting more serious. After a few breaths, one cigarette was gone. Shen You lit another one. He didn't look at them, his Adam's apple moved, and he whispered to himself: "Delete it. Just delete it."
Tang Yishan looked at him for a moment, then smiled, got up and pulled out the chair and said: "It's best if you can think about it, what do you want, there are many people who stick up on poles, why hang them on a tree with a crooked neck? I have something else to do, I'll go first, and you'll settle the bill."
After speaking, he patted his shoulder, opened the box door and left.
Ke Jing muttered: "Old Tang is really boring, he left without eating, a large table of dishes..."
Before he could finish speaking, he saw Shen You's gloomy complexion through the smoke, and unconsciously silenced his voice.
Ke Jing was intimidated, his force value was not as high as Shen You, and that fox in Tang Yishan slipped away with oil on the soles of his feet. At this time, he was alone in a room with Shen You, and the air pressure around his body was really frightening. He looked around and said stumblingly: " What, my cousin seems to be getting married today, I'll go back and take a look, go first, remember to check out."
After speaking, he ran out and Tang Yishan was caught before he could go far. Ke Jing grabbed him by the collar and said, "Okay, you son of a bitch, if you get into trouble, leave me there alone! You Why did you delete his friend for no reason? It's not cheap."
Tang Yishan pulled his collar back, thinking that he couldn't take it anymore, and walking down slowly, he said, "If you delete it, delete it. He didn't say anything. You're wrong."
Ke Jing scratched his head and couldn't help but look back: "He seems... quite sad, it's rare."
Tang Yishan: "Really, why didn't I see it."
Ke Jing frowned and pushed him: "You don't know what his temper is, he keeps everything in his heart, and he likes to be brave, can you tell me?"
From childhood to adulthood, who doesn't know who, Ke Jing doesn't believe that Tang Yishan didn't find out.
Tang Yishan paused when he heard the words: "It's my fault, I shouldn't have encouraged him to move up, I thought Shen You had taught him a lesson, but he still didn't learn a lesson, there is really a person in the world who has fallen twice, and there is nothing he can do when he is sad. Now, long pain is worse than short pain."
The environment here is very quiet and quaint. In the center of the lobby on the first floor, there is a woman in a cheongsam playing the guzheng behind the screen, but as soon as the two of them left, only Shenyou was left, and the box was completely silent.
He buried his head, pressed his right fist against his forehead, melted lights poured down on his shoulders like flowing water, reflecting the thin back, Shen You silently put out the cigarette butt, his eyes suddenly helpless, and then he closed his eyes deeply.
Gu Lai was unaware of this farce, and the next morning, when he finally emerged from the shadow of the ghost movie, recalled the fragmented memories of yesterday and wanted to apologize to Shen You, he was surprised to find that he had been deleted.
It was indeed deleted, and Shen You was no longer in the message list.
Maybe you can add it back, but at this time, after Gu Lai was silent, he didn't do anything, and he couldn't tell what kind of emotion it was, maybe... a bit of anger
Facing the mirror, he hesitantly stretched out his hand and wiped off the water stains on it, as if he was talking to someone from another time and space: "Your Excellency the Executive..."
"Maybe I'm not good enough."
At this moment, Gu Lai suddenly felt that he might be more suitable for the career route. Interpersonal communication was indeed a weak item for him, and no matter how hard he tried, he could not achieve perfection.
Just work hard.
For the next few months, Gu Lai has been studying in the training class, and has never contacted anyone again. He has devoted his 120,000 energy to it, and even Yu Xi has not been able to see him a few times.
The weather is getting cooler, and the sun is no longer so hot. People have already changed their short sleeves. Today, the teacher is resting. Gu Lai arrives home earlier than usual. He walked into the elevator and was about to close the door when a figure was full of fire. rushed in.
"Etc., etc!"
Yu Xi stepped on high heels and ran faster than the wind, her beautiful curly hair like seaweed was messed up. Seeing this, Gu Lai pressed the door button and closed the door again when she came in.
Yu Xi blamed: "I called you several times just now, why shouldn't I be."
Gu Lai was wearing a light gray low-neck sweater, his collarbone was looming, his dark hair was clean and elegant, and his body was long, which made people blush and heartbeat. In just a few months, his temperament became more and more warm, and he took it off after hearing the words. The colorful blue sports headphones on his ears smiled and said, "I'm sorry, maybe I was too absorbed in listening to the song and didn't pay attention."
Yu Xi straightened her hair in front of the mirror: "I'm so busy, why didn't I see you to class today?"
I don't know if it was an illusion, but Gu Lai's expression was a little more vivid than before, less inorganic and cold. Hearing this, he shook his head and said with a bit of confusion: "The teacher is resting, the training class is on vacation."
"I knew," Yu Xi said, "Today, the Mid-Autumn Festival is a holiday."
The elevator just arrived, the two of them went out together, Yu Xi pulled her suitcase and complained, "I plan to go back to my hometown to see my parents today, but I lost a lot of things in a panic and didn't take them, hey, how are you going to celebrate the festival? ?"
Yu Xi paused as soon as she said it, she vaguely remembered that Gu Lai's parents seemed to have passed away, she wondered that she shouldn't have said this, and hurriedly changed the subject before he could answer: "I have a few boxes of moon cakes over there, The egg yolk lotus paste can’t be eaten by one person, so I’ll give you half of it.”
After speaking, he hurriedly opened the door and entered the house. He took out a few boxes of delicately packaged moon cakes and handed them to him. Gu Lai stood at the door and paused when he saw this: "Mid-Autumn Festival... Did you all spend time with your family?"
Yu Xi kept stuffing her facial mask and skin care products into the suitcase, and said without thinking, "Don't you have to spend the Mid-Autumn Festival with your family? Oh, it's too late, I can't catch up with the car, and the rooftop is drying mine. Clothes, in case it rains, you remember to collect them for me, bye bye handsome guy."
She pulled the suitcase away and blew a kiss before leaving.
Gu Lai looked down at the moon cake box in his hand, then opened the door and entered the house, feeling a little deserted for some reason. He was used to being busy during this time, and suddenly he was free, but he didn't know what to do.
Shen You also felt the same way. During the Mid-Autumn Festival, the Shen family did not reserve a box in the hotel, but in the family's mansion. Mother Shen called him a long time ago and told him to stop being angry and come here. .
The nanny aunt finished the dishes and went down. Father Shen sat at the head of the long table, leaning on a cane in his hand, but he still looked energetic, and his eyes swept over the people below, the eldest son, the eldest daughter-in-law, the youngest. The grandson, who finally settled on the second son Shen You, suddenly turned cold, with a gloomy expression on his face: "Aren't you very hard-hearted? Learn to play and run away, move out for a few years and never come back. What are you doing here today?!"
It was said that no hatred is a father and son, but it was the truth. The atmosphere in the banquet suddenly cooled down because of these words, filled with silent embarrassment. , It's a big holiday, and it's rare for a family to get together..."
This time, the old man Shen only said two words: "Shame!"
Shen's mother's eyes blushed when she heard the words, and she put down her chopsticks heavily: "Who do you lose? Is your own son more important or your old face? Good days, you don't waste your heart and don't feel happy!"
Everyone was silent, and they could only watch their eyes and noses and their hearts. When the elders spoke, they couldn't get in.
Shen You didn't say a word from the beginning to the end. Whatever Old Man Shen scolded, he took it all in. Hearing this, he stood up and took the coat over the chair: "You guys eat, I'll just come back and have a look."
After speaking, regardless of Mother Shen's anxious retention, she turned around and left the mansion, and drove straight away.
In general, the richer the person, the better the face. The old man Shen has been vigorous and resolute all his life, and he considers himself to be an upright person. The only stain is Shen You, an incompetent son. A good woman doesn't like to like a man. Fight like a black-eyed chicken.
Gradually, Shen You didn't like to move closer to him, so as not to be annoying.
Tang Yishan and Ke Jing should also be with their family at this time. Shen You drove the car, wandering aimlessly on the street, and finally stopped in one place.
It's very close to Gu Lai's house. Shen You heard him say the approximate location before, but he didn't know the exact location, so he drove here in a daze.
He sat quietly in the car, not knowing what to do or where to go, and because the bar was too noisy, he got out of the car and went to the supermarket next to him to buy a bag of wine, and sat alone in the back seat to drink quietly.
Shen You's alcohol intake is very good, but he can't stand the beer mixed with the white beer. After a while, his brain becomes a little dizzy. He knows that he can't drive, but he doesn't want to go home. The throat was sore and burning, and even the stomach problems that I hadn't had for a long time also followed.
He took a breath, his face was forbearance, and there was a dense cold sweat on his forehead. Through the rearview mirror, he found that his whole person was decadent and disrespectful, and suddenly there was a feeling of being broken.
How can you live like this...
Shen You's eyes wandered, he opened the phone's address book, and there were phantoms in front of him. He carefully rummaged through the names of the people in it, and finally stopped at the "Gu Lai" column. Moved away, repeated this several times, and finally with a shake of his hand, he finally dialed it out.
"beep... beep... beep..."
The phone rang five long times before being connected, and a familiar male voice came from the other end: "Hello?"
Shen You was a little drunk. He lay in the back seat, stared at the dark roof of the car, put the phone to his ear, but didn't speak.
Gu looked at the dark sky outside, and didn't understand why the other party called so late: "Is it Shen You?"
Shen You moved his Adam's apple, and his messy hair blocked his vision: "Gu Lai, let me ask you a question..."
Hearing this, Gu Lai stood up from the sofa, took a few steps, and then sat down again, still warm: "Okay, you ask."
Shen You's voice was very small, not quite like him: "At the cinema that day... why did you hug me?"
As soon as these words came out, there was a long silence.
Gu Lai seemed to know why Shen You was angry. Probably because he was too scared that day, he did some outrageous actions. He had been in training classes for several months, and he probably knew that some people didn't like too close contact. .
"...I'm sorry, I was a little scared that day," Gu said here, and pursed his lips a little aggrieved, "I didn't know you didn't like being too close to others."
After about ten seconds, Shen You spoke, his voice as usual: "What are you afraid of? Ghosts...?"
Gu Lai nodded frantically, "Yeah."
"Ah… "
Shen You on the other end of the phone was silent for a second when he heard the words, and suddenly laughed softly, as if he had heard a very interesting joke. He was almost out of breath when he laughed. Gu Lai thought he was laughing at himself, so he didn't speak, but listen There was something wrong when he heard it, and he suddenly found that Shen You's laughter was mixed with a hint of crying, with a low whimper, like a wounded little beast.
Gu Lai was inexplicably uneasy, and slowly circled around the room: "Are you... laughing at me?"
Shen You stopped laughing: "No..."
He buried his face in the seat, and there was a tear on his handsome jawline, which faintly reflected light in the dark night, and his voice was hoarse: "I'm laughing at myself..."
