After a period of recuperation, I finally waited for the day I was discharged from the hospital. The branches outside the window slanted out. The bark was a moist dark black. It was hard to imagine that it was just one night, and that little first snow fell. In the early morning, I had no time to see it, and it had melted into the light sky.
Shen You was wearing a black turtleneck sweater with a thin hexagram silver chain around his neck, his thin chin hidden in the collar, sitting cross-legged beside the bed and playing games, with his eyes down and not speaking, he looked a little bit like Grim.
Gu Lai had just finished the discharge procedures, pushed open the door and came in, blocking out the too cold air outside, pressing down the baseball cap that weighed down on You's head, and asked warmly, "Have you packed your clothes?"
The front of Shen You's hair was fine, but the back was scorched by the sparks and had to be shaved. After all this time, only a short layer of stubble appeared. How can I put it... It looks quite bald .
It doesn't matter if he didn't look in the mirror before. After looking in the mirror, he was so ugly that he had to put a hat on his head.
Shen You had been in the hospital for so long, and he was used to it. Hearing this, he raised his head, and then pulled Gu Lai to sit on the bed: "What's the hurry, sit for a while, it's freezing outside."
The brim of the hat covered his eyebrows, Gu Lai looked carefully for a long time, only to realize that Shen You's eyelashes were actually very long, but not so curled up. sharp contrast.
Gu couldn't see him clearly, and felt a little pity, reached out and tugged at the hat, and then was held down by Shen You vigilantly: "What do you want?"
Gu Lai smiled inexplicably: "It's beautiful, not ugly, why do you cover it with a hat?"
Shen You thought that Gu Lai's words couldn't be believed. He unconsciously touched the back of his head. He always felt that the growth rate of his hair was too slow. He thought that he would not be bald. People are alive and their hair is gone. What is this
Shen You said: "You are not good at aesthetics."
Hearing this, Gu Lai didn't know what to think. He slowly took out a bracelet from his trousers pocket. The change, just opened from the tail to a transparent texture, swaying gently in the air, chubby and cute.
Seeing this, Shen You paused for a while, and recognized that it was something Gu Lai had been grinding for a long time. Immediately, the corners of his lips curled up uncontrollably. He didn't even play the game. He threw the phone aside and handed it over. Go out and motion for him to bring it for himself.
However, under the gaze of Shen You, Gu Lai slowly put the bracelet back into his pocket, as if he was simply taking it out to take a look.
Shen You's face changed instantly: "Hello."
Gu Lai: "Huh?"
For the first time, Shen You asked someone for something, and stumblingly said, "You... you give it to me."
Gu Lai didn't speak, but a sentence was written on his face: I'm not good at aesthetics, don't ask for it.
Shen You thought that this fool was quite a vengeful man, so he pushed Gu Lai directly onto the bed, pressing his wrists to keep him from moving, and then went to take out his trouser pocket, Gu Lai struggled symbolically a few times, in the end he was thinking about Shen You's injury, He didn't try his best to let him succeed.
Shen You grabbed the bracelet and was finally satisfied, but he always felt that there was a sense of ceremony missing. He slammed into Gu Lai's arms, pinched the other's chin and said, "Bring it to me."
Gu Lai raised his hand and took off his black baseball cap. Shen You glanced at it and ignored it. He focused his energy on this small bracelet and urged, "Come on, bring me some superior."
The Buddha beads on Shen You's wrist were gently removed by Gu Lai. The seven beads accompanied him countless days and nights, and also carried all his pain and unwillingness.
Gu Lai carefully loosened the telescopic knot, and then passed through Shen Yu's skinny wrist, while adjusting to the appropriate tightness, he said earnestly, "This can protect you."
Shen You lay down side by side with him, raised his hands, looked at the light, the more he looked at it, the more he liked it, and squinted, "You won't really listen to what that stall owner said, what auspicious stone, she lied to you. of."
A light black rope with a small blue ball strung on it and a pair of small wings behind it, the code used to be 008.
"I will protect you."
Gu said,
"Always."
Shen You paused, he raised his eyes to look at Gu Lai, and wanted to say such a love story, which was earthy and outdated, but the other party's expression was so serious, serious enough to make him swallow all the weak words in his throat.
Gu Lai saw the shallow water in Shen You's eyes, but the other party pursed his lips tightly and refused to show his timidity: "Do you need a hug?"
He asked this question, but without waiting for Shen You to answer, he slowly opened his arms and took the person into his arms.
Something is faintly different, breaking out of the ground, and before the brain can issue an order, the action has already taken a step forward, which is different from the one-step mechanical program, the beating and clamoring in his chest are all maintained by the warm blood. .
No longer 008, but Gu Lai.
Shen You buried himself in his arms and scolded a dirty word in a low voice: "Fuck, you fucking..."
He was choked up, unable to say anything.
Gu Lai didn't correct his words either, and patted him on the back lightly: "Go, go home."
It was approaching the end of the new year, because of the time spent together, the little nurse stuffed a pocket of melon seeds and peanut candy when he left, wishing a happy new year, Gu Lai thanked him with a smile, and left together with Shen You.
When I walked out of the hospital gate, there was a whistling cold wind coming from the storefront. I could faintly hear the cheerful music from the opposite street. The supermarket was also crowded with people buying New Year's goods. This winter looks warm and warm.
Shen You's hat was almost blown away by the wind, so he had to pull up the collar of his sweater, freeing one hand to press the brim of his hat, passing by an uncle who was lighting a cigarette with a lighter, he subconsciously avoided it, making a big movement , provoked the other party to look over.
"nothing."
Gu Lai ignored the gazes of others, hugged him in his arms, and then walked towards the parking space with Shen You, as before, opened the car door for him, and then went around to the side and sat in the driver's seat.
Shen You turned on the heater and saw a layer of white fog rising from the car window, and suddenly remembered that the night when the class reunion ended, they seemed to be the same, but they were short of a few cups of hot milk tea, and couldn't help but smile, there was a feeling like a lifetime away .
Shen You said, "Wait a moment to pass the milk tea shop and buy a few cups of milk tea."
Gu Lai also thought of something with him, nodded and replied, "Okay."
Shen You leaned against the car window, stretched out his hand, drew a circle on it, and then added a pair of wings, exactly the same as the one on his wrist. Gu Lai saw his small movements, his eyes squinted, and he asked happily: " It's cute, isn't it?"
Shen You glanced at him sideways, rarely without a fight, and nodded coldly: "Well, cute."
Gu Lai was even happier, a joy visible to the naked eye.
In the second half of the road, he concentrated on driving and didn't speak any more. Shen You checked his phone and found that Shen's mother sent a message: Ah You, come back for a reunion dinner this year.
Seeing this, Shen You paused for a while, typed out a few lines, deleted them, and replied with only two words: [No. 】
A few minutes later, the phone rang and Mother Shen called. Shen You glanced at Gu Lai who was driving beside him, put on his earphones, and connected.
Mother Shen didn't know about his hospitalization, and her voice was always kind: "Ayou, don't be sulky, come back for a meal on the New Year's reunion."
Shen You made excuses and refused: "I have something at hand, I can't get away, you can eat."
Shen's mother said: "It's really not good, you can bring your partner."
Shen You almost choked to death when he heard the words, but it took him a long time to recover. What did he bring Gu Lai to do? To be scorned or scolded? No time to think about how Mother Shen knew that she was talking about her partner, she refused immediately: "No, he's busy too."
Mother Shen seemed to sigh, there was a lot of noise over the microphone, and after a while, she lowered her voice and said, "This is what your dad meant, he is rarely soft-spoken, you can borrow a donkey down the slope, where is there an old man who doesn't hurt? Yes, you lived outside these years. Although he didn't pay attention, he didn't care about anything in private. Some time ago, he didn't know what was wrong. He ran out in the middle of the night and caught a cold. He kept coughing when he came back. Look."
Shen You rubbed his fingertips, not knowing how to answer for a while.
Shen's mother's tone also became tough: "What a stubborn temper, the old and the young are ruthless, your father said, you must live at home this year, bring anyone you want, dare to try it!"
After he finished speaking, he hung up the phone, and there was a beeping busy tone.
Shen You held the phone and thought about a lot of things at that moment. He saw the rapidly receding scenery outside, and the towering buildings, which were obviously things that he was used to seeing, but at this moment, he had a slightly different feeling. Come on, you will be in God in an instant.
Until Gu Lai exclaimed, "It's snowing."
Shen You subconsciously looked through the windshield, and sure enough, he saw the little snowflakes falling from the sky, but the existence of the tiny bits gave people a feeling of vastness, and life was suddenly small.
"Hey..." Shen You paused before continuing, "Gu Lai, come to my place for dinner on New Year's Eve."
Gu Lai was stunned: "Huh?"
In winter, everything is dormant, the branches are dry, only the green pines stand upright, and the deep emerald color is gradually covered with a layer of snow foam, like the green mountains and green miao in the middle of winter. It's a long scene.
The green hills do not change, the green waters flow...
