At three o'clock in the morning, Naruto was like a beast sleeping in the dark, breathing gently, and danger lurked in it.
The harsh winter sky was oppressive blue-black. As soon as the door was opened, the howling north wind burst in with snow particles in it. Gu Chenbai put on his coat and held his cane before barely standing.
Before the weather changed, he wouldn't go out, because his injured joints were always aching in the rain and snow.
But he had to go out at this time, because Tu Yan ran out.
The feeling of reaching out to touch the person beside the pillow but feeling empty is really terrifying, Gu Chenbai felt that all the blood in his entire body coagulated at that moment. He searched every room in the house, and finally confirmed that Tu Yan ran out.
Tu Yan was alone, pregnant with a child, running out of the house on a snowy day at 3:00 a.m. in early February in the north. Good clothes go out the door.
Gu Chenbai had no clue about Tu Yan's inexplicable disappearance, so he could only eagerly walk out along the footprints in the thin snow.
Gu Chenbai looked east and suddenly remembered something. He lowered his head and glanced at the inferior red rope on his wrist, and quickly denied this impossible assumption.
probably not.
Gu Chenbai stepped on the snow and walked east.
The single-family villas on both sides were hidden in the dark, the lights went out, and the evergreen trees on the roadside were dancing like ghosts. Gu Chenbai forcibly suppressed his anxiety and accelerated his pace. When he was about to reach the gate of the community, he saw A familiar figure trotted in from the corner. The man was wearing a long white down jacket, with his hands in his pockets and a flashlight between his arms. He was shivering with cold, but his steps were brisk.
Gu Chenbai's drum-like heart suddenly calmed down.
Like a telepathy, Tu Yan raised his head and saw Gu Chenbai standing tall in the snow.
His brows and eyes widened suddenly, and he smiled brightly, the corners of his mouth curved and rushed over to hug Gu Chenbai, his flashlight dropped on the ground.
Gu Chenbai staggered back two steps, then hugged him, and before he could say anything, he was grabbed by Tu Yan.
"Gu Chenbai, I found it!" Tu Yan held the things in his pocket in front of Gu Chenbai's eyes, as if he had accomplished something remarkable, and looked at Gu Chenbai eagerly for praise, "I'm in a hurry to clean up. The workers found it before they came out!"
It really was the red rope, lying firmly in Tu Yan's palm. Tu Yan curled his fingers, fearing that it would be blown away by the wind again, and his cautious appearance made Gu Chenbai's heart soften, and he couldn't express his full of blame.
"It's all your fault. You dressed me so much last night that I didn't even notice the rope fell off. Fortunately, I reacted before going to bed." Tu Yan said with a smile.
"When did you go out?"
"A little more."
"Why didn't you call me? Don't bring your cell phone, do you know how worried I am?"
Tu Yan knew that he was wrong, lowered his head and said nothing, then hugged him tightly, and said preemptively, "I know I'm wrong, don't scold me."
Gu Chenbai said angrily, "I'm worried about you, why is such a broken rope worth you looking for in the middle of the night?"
Tu Yan changed his face, "Of course it's worth it, your safety is tied to it."
Gu Chenbai was dumbfounded, his anger stopped at the moment he saw the tears in Tu Yan's eyes, he held Tu Yan's cold hand, "Little fool, why are you serious?"
Tu Yan puffed: "I just take it seriously."
The joy that was lost and found all turned into ice under Gu Chenbai's cold face, Tu Yan's heart was so cold that tears were about to fall, he held it back, and pinched the tip of his thumb on his ring finger, "I know this rope. There's no value and it's impossible to keep your peace, but I'm just scared."
Gu Chenbai took him into his arms, "What are you afraid of?"
"I'm afraid something bad will happen, I'm afraid you will get hurt, I know my thoughts are stupid, but I'm really afraid," Tu Yan grabbed Gu Chenbai's hand and put it on his face, the dim environment gave After gaining his courage, he said softly, "Gu Chenbai, you have to stay by my side and take care of me for the rest of my life."
This is the first time for Tu Yan to say the word "lifetime".
Gu Chenbai was stunned, and Tu Yan stretched out his hand a little shyly and raised it in front of Gu Chenbai, "Help me put it on."
The sky was dim, but Tu Yan's eyes were bright, and there was as much love in them as Gu Chenbai.
Gu Chenbai took the red rope and tied it to Tu Yan.
The red rope was wrapped around Tu Yanxuebai's wrist, and a slipknot was a promise.
He held Tu Yan's hand and said gently, "Go home."
Tu Yan picked up the flashlight, turned on the switch, and followed the road ahead. On the snowy ground, only two lines of footprints, one deep and one shallow, were intertwined.
He raised his head and smiled at Gu Chenbai, and said, "Well, go home."
