Yan Mu had some guesses as to why Yun Zhou left suddenly.
After being taken on a long journey, Yun Zhou was nowhere to be found when he came back.
Mingming waved goodbye before leaving. Yunzhou smiled and said to him, "Brother Qin, I'll wait for you to come back."
They hugged each other, Yun Zhou put on gloves, held Qin Mu's hand and walked him to the intersection.
When I came back, I saw only one other person.
A dark and thin little boy, he said his name was Yun Xiaoxu, a name he had just changed. He liked this name, the three words "Yun Xiaoxu" sounded a thousand times better than his previous name.
He was very familiar with people. When he saw that the door was not closed, he walked into Qin Mu's house carelessly, touched and looked around with his hands that had just played with sand and had not been washed yet. When he left, he took the porcelain vase on the dining table with him: "It's so beautiful, I want it so much, give it to me."
He also took away the half-read book spread out on the sofa without anyone's consent.
The two houses face each other, separated only by a small street, and you can hear any noise coming from the other side.
Qin Mu would always hear heart-wrenching cries coming from the window opposite, several times.
Because Professor Yun was unwilling to buy him a certain toy, asked Yun Xiaoxu to return something he took without permission, asked him to read books, asked him to study... In short, these were all small things.
Qin Mu also heard the sound of things being thrown, one after another, mixed with the screaming of a child - the sound was very sharp and loud, and it was unclear what was said, but it was like the sound of chalk scratching on a blackboard, which made people feel uncomfortable all over.
These noises shouldn't have been heard in Professor Yun's home.
Before that, the house opposite was always quiet. Occasionally, old songs from the last century would be played at night, and a proud but lively boy would wave at him through the window. It was sometimes lively and often quiet, and every night was warm and harmonious.
That's how it should have been.
Everything has changed now.
Qin Mu didn't live here for long. About a month after Yun Zhou left, he also moved out. The moving truck stopped at the door. A dark and thin little boy wandered around him, poking his head out to join in the fun. He didn't ask any questions, but directly reached out and took a decoration from the open box.
That decoration was left behind by Qin Shi.
Qin Mu was very young on the day his mother left, but he saw the whole scene and remembered it all with his own eyes.
The memory was horrifying, but he didn't say anything. He didn't allow anyone to touch it, so he didn't like others touching his mother's things—except Yunzhou.
He opened himself completely to Yunzhou.
Qin Mu held Yun Xiaoxu to stop him. Qin Mu didn't wear gloves, and didn't think about avoiding it. He directly pinched Yun Xiaoxu's hand. The child's skin was tender, and he was still not used to the pain caused by the touch. The pain made him tremble and his teeth chatter.
He asked, "Where is Yunzhou?"
Yun Xiaoxu's expression suddenly changed, and he smashed the decoration, breaking the glass into pieces on the floor.
He asked in a very sharp voice: "Why is it Yun Zhou again? Why are all of you mentioning him? I am my parents' son!! I was the one who suffered for eight years, shouldn't you compensate me?!"
This statement is so straightforward that even if you don't know the inside story, you can guess the general outline.
Qin Mu was shocked. He never thought it would be for this reason.
He let go of his hand and took two steps back in a daze.
No wonder Yun Zhou had been behaving strangely for some time.
Stay at home all day long, don't go downstairs or go out.
Sometimes she would suddenly run into Qin Mu's house and ask him what to do if she couldn't see him anymore.
She always carefully held the shell that was broken into two pieces and said to him again and again: "Brother Qin, you promised me, don't forget me."
Yun Zhou was in a very low mood during those days, and he asked Qin Mu a question.
"If I took someone else's things, should I return them? I think I should return them, and I think I have no choice but to return them, but I feel a little reluctant... I never thought about taking them... Brother Qin, am I wrong?"
He leaned against the head of the bed, curled up his legs and hugged his knees. This was a particularly helpless posture, but he had no choice but to curl himself up into a small ball: "Brother Qin, I am Yunzhou, only I am..."
Yan Mu looked at the two lines of words on the note and thought of Xiao Yunzhou who had curled up at the head of the bed a long time ago.
That kind of desperate helplessness will be engraved in one's heart, and he knows better than anyone how it feels to be unable to get out of it.
The note was quickly passed back, with only four words on it.
-Come out with me.
When Jiang Zhihuo saw it, Yan Mu had already stood up and left. The chair was pulled back as he stood up, and then pushed back in. Yan Mu didn't even close the textbook.
Jiang Zhihuo stood up and followed him.
Yan Mu walked in silence all the way to the elevator. After going downstairs, he went to the small restaurant bar on the other side of the library.
Food with odors is not allowed in the library. Those who come here to study can only eat here before entering.
It was not time for dinner and not many people were around. Yan Mu ordered two cups of milk tea while Jiang Zhihuo stood at the bar and waited with him.
The entrance to the Provincial Library has been sealed off and no one is allowed to enter. Every day, there are fans squatting outside the Picku training camp. As soon as the production team's car drove out, we knew they were coming for location shooting. The schedule was announced early in the morning, and now there is a group of people gathered at the entrance of the library.
The waitress at the restaurant and bar was very curious. After watching people coming and going all morning, she really wanted to know what was going on in the library, but she couldn't leave.
After waiting for a long time, someone finally came out. Just when I was about to ask, I saw a handsome guy rubbing another handsome guy's face with an expressionless face.
The waiter's mouth was forced closed before he opened it.
Yan Mu's move was too sudden and rude. Jiang Zhihuo didn't have time to react and both sides of his face were rubbed hot and numb.
Jiang Zhihuo: “?”
Yan Mu didn't put his hand down, but pinched her cheek again, pinching it outward.
"Wake up." Yan Mu said, "You are getting stuck in a rut."
Jiang Zhihuo blinked blankly: "Huh?"
Yan Mu looked at him and said, "The cause and effect are reversed, because it's because of you that I know him."
Yan Mu did not forget what Jiang Zhihuo wrote on the note.
What I was supposed to know was not me.
There has never been such a statement.
"Nothing is inevitable, everything is destined."
Jiang Zhihuo patted his cheek, the feeling was still there, numb.
Yan Mu said, "I can only touch you. I can't do this to anyone else. I was shocked when you caught me in the alley that day. If it weren't for you, what happened next wouldn't have happened."
"Because it's you, there's more to come."
Jiang Zhihuo didn't expect Brother Yan to explain to him so seriously.
The unhappiness I felt when I wrote the note suddenly popped up from the bottom of my heart.
There are some things that you are moving forward with, but you always want to look back.
There is a stone on the road, so big and so sharp, standing there in a dark and majestic manner, and you can see it every time you turn around.
Jiang Zhihuo knew that he was indeed being too stubborn. There was nothing wrong with admitting it. Even the smartest people would get stubborn sometimes.
I wrote this sentence to Brother Yan, on the one hand, because I wanted to tell him, and on the other hand, it was also a test.
He never told Yan Mu the reason why he left. He was too young and he didn't know what to do about that kind of thing - maybe it had nothing to do with age. Looking back now, he still didn't know what was the best choice.
Jiang Zhihuo just stared at Yan Mu, looking at him without saying anything.
Yan Mu gave him time to react.
Not long after, the two cups of milk tea they ordered were ready and the waiter handed them to the two of them.
The weather was good, the sun leaped through the clouds and fell on the ground. The waitress kept looking towards the library, she really wanted to go in and see the recording scene, but she was there but couldn't see it, which was really painful.
Jiang Zhihuo stirred the ingredients in the milk tea with a straw and finally asked, "After I left, did you get to know Yun Xiaoxu?"
The answer is most likely no, otherwise Yun Xiaoxu would not have failed to recognize Yan Mu just now.
But Jiang Zhihuo was still nervous.
He wanted to ask this question the day he found out that Yan Mu was Brother Qin, but he didn't dare. He was afraid of hearing an answer he didn't want to hear, even if it was just a sentence like, "Yeah, we are friends." Just friends, which is completely different from the love that Brother Yan told him.
But sometimes people are just so cowardly and stingy.
He didn't want to share his brother Qin and his memories with anyone.
"No." Yan Mu said.
Jiang Zhihuo lowered his head and took a sip of milk tea, holding the bottle with one hand and putting the other hand in his pocket, and laughed.
"Sorry, Brother Yan, for spreading negative energy."
Yan Mu always brings him magical feelings. His words are always so sweet and touching, like soft candies in people's hearts. He can't resist it, he really can't resist it.
Because it’s you, there’s what happens next.
This sentence can make a 1.8-meter-tall boy feel like a girl.
Several trainees and cameramen flew out from outside the restaurant and bar. The group that drew the limited-time card circled around twice, found something, and then flew back quickly.
When the fans at the door saw them, they screamed in waves.
The waiter became even more curious, and since no one else asked, he could only ask the two handsome guys sitting at the small table.
Just as she was about to speak, she saw the one whose face had just been rubbed suddenly stand up and reach out to grab the milk tea from the other person. He was smiling with clear eyes, while the other person had a gentle expression and an indulgent look.
An atmosphere that no one else could interfere with seemed to form naturally between the two of them.
The waiter didn't ask again.
Jiang Zhihuo's mood became very good. He even wanted to hum a song while waiting for the elevator. He felt sweet all over.
There were not many people in the elevator at this time. The door was closed and the floor button was pressed. There were only two people in the cramped space. Yan Mu suddenly hugged him from behind.
The faint smell of rain and dew lingering on the clothes wafted over.
"There are some things I didn't finish saying just now, so I'll tell you now."
"I don't want to delve into what happened in the past. Let's not look back at the past. We won't ask."
"But I'm happy that you can tell me your emotions and thoughts."
"This is not negative energy, and I hope you can continue to tell me in the future, Xiaozhou."
The numbers on the elevator were jumping, 1 turned into 2, and 2 turned into 3.
Jiang Zhihuo wanted to raise his hand to grab her shoulders, but Yan Mu was hugging him, so he couldn't do it in this position, so he put his hand down.
"Brother Yan." Jiang Zhihuo took a deep breath, his heartbeat could not calm down, "Can you hear my heartbeat? I'm going to explode."
The author has something to say: Brother Yan is too sweet, they can’t end up together without being together, don’t you think, Brother Huo
