At the end, Shu Jin was able to breathe freely.
The light was not on, but Shu Jin's overflowing tears glowed slightly like the liquid on the finger that left his mouth.
The sofa was too narrow and hard. They went back to the room and fell on Shu Jin's bed, which was also not too big. Shu Jin raised his head to accept the kiss, wrapped his arms around Sheng Xinghe's neck, touched the thick black hair on the back of his head, and smelled the same shower gel smell on them.
This kiss lasted for a long time, so long that everything was silent, going back in time, full of long affection.
When he felt the coolness, Shu Jin was startled, as if he didn't know where the thing came from.
Sheng Xinghe did not explain.
It may have been bought when I went out to pick up my luggage just now, or it may have been in the suitcase, or it may have been bought without Shu Jin when the two went to the supermarket together before.
Sheng Xinghe was different from before. At that time, Shu Jin felt that he could see through him at a glance, because Sheng Xinghe had no reservations in front of him.
But now, Sheng Xinghe has become quiet, and Shu Jin has a hard time seeing his thoughts, which makes Shu Jin feel unfamiliar, but more attractive.
Sheng Xinghe's excesses were even worse than the previous ones. Shu Jin was ashamed and angry, but he couldn't help crying: "Where did you learn it?"
At this time, he didn't care that Sheng Xinghe had never met anyone else.
Sheng Xinghe said, "I think about what you learned."
Shu Jin was speechless, bit Sheng Xinghe's shoulder fiercely, and heard Sheng Xinghe say, "You wear it."
Shu Jin was about to faint. He didn't know why. After reacting, he was stuffed with things he wanted to buy but didn't dare to buy. Sheng Xinghe reminded him of course, "I don't have time."
In the end, Sheng Xinghe grabbed his hand, closed his eyes, and let him touch his eyelids.
Sheng Xinghe's Adam's apple slipped slightly: "You still want me."
Shu Jin was paralyzed with sweat all over, feeling like he was about to break, and shuddered when he heard the words.
Those words he said five years ago are being overturned by this sentence.
He wanted to pull his hand away, but Sheng Xinghe didn't let go and opened his eyes to look at him.
Four eyes facing each other.
As if falling into a gray sea, Shu Jin said in a low voice, "Brother, don't look at me."
Sheng Xinghe kissed his finger.
The next day, my colleague called to inform Shu Jin that the place had been booked and that he must show up.
Sheng Xinghe heard the content of the call and said that he had something to do at night, and he was going to visit the teacher at home in Xingcheng. Shu Jin hesitated for a while, seeing that Sheng Xinghe's business as usual did not agree after being angry.
The atmosphere between the two of them after last night was a little strange, or Shu Jin unilaterally made it strange.
Sheng Xinghe's magnanimity and tolerance made Shu Jin feel extremely guilty.
He doesn't know what to do to make things easier for himself, and he doesn't know what to do to make things easier.
The two bid farewell downstairs. Shu Jin took a taxi and looked back at Sheng Xinghe standing on the street from the rear window of the car.
For some reason, he felt a little uneasy.
But before going out just now, Sheng Xinghe kissed him at the entrance.
Seeing a group of left-behind colleagues, Lin Xiang was also there. His family was local and he came out to join in the fun. It was no wonder that a stranger like Shu Jin would be constantly "coerced and lured" to participate.
Lin Xiang asked Shu Jin, "I heard that someone met you and your brother in the cinema hall yesterday. Is there someone from your family?"
Lin Xiang didn't expect it to be Sheng Xinghe. After all, according to Shu Jin, they shouldn't be that close to each other.
Before Shu Jin could answer, Lin Xiang added, "I heard that your father is here too."
Shu Jin: "…"
Lin Xiang didn't know what to add to his brain, so he added in a matured sentence, "Let's stop arguing with the family in the future."
When it comes to Shu Zhaoyuan, Shu Jin is a little concerned.
Shu Zhaoyuan said that they hadn't contacted him since he went to see his friends. Just now, Shu Jin called him on the road and was unanswered, so he called a taxi to go to the hotel to find someone, and the front desk told him that Shu Zhaoyuan was not there.
By the middle of the dinner, the unease began to inexplicably intensify.
Shu Jin's eyelids began to twitch, and he was absent-minded.
The phone rang suddenly, and Shu Jin was taken aback. Sheng Xinghe's number was displayed on the screen.
He picked it up with a sigh of relief, and heard Sheng Xinghe say on the phone, "Shu Jin, when will you be back?"
Shu Jin looked at the table full of people and said, "It should be soon, have you already gone back?"
"Well." Sheng Xinghe said, "Someone came to the house to find you."
There seemed to be a sound in his ear, and Shu Jin was stunned: "...Who is it?"
It took a few seconds to hear Sheng Xinghe's voice on the phone: "I don't know him, he said he was your father's friend."
Shu Jin had a premonition that Sheng Xinghe still had something to say, so he only answered vaguely, "Oh."
"He said that uncle was hospitalized." Sheng Xinghe's tone sounded unusual, "I'll wait for you at the hospital first."
Shu Jin took a taxi to the hospital and was in such a hurry that he forgot to take his coat.
When they got to the hospital, Sheng Xinghe, who was waiting downstairs, wrapped him in a warm jacket, and then realized that he was cold.
Sheng Xinghe did not ask when Shu Zhaoyuan came to Xingcheng, nor did he ask anything else. He briefly told Shu Jin that it was a fight. Shu Zhaoyuan was kicked in the waist. There was no major problem with him. He was admitted to the hospital in the afternoon and needed now. Check for a ruptured spleen.
Shu Jin felt chills hearing this, Shu Zhaoyuan had a criminal record, and he didn't know how to deal with it.
"you… "
He didn't know how to speak.
Sheng Xinghe knew what he wanted to ask, and said, "I didn't meet him."
Even so, the two did not feel the slightest slack.
Because they all knew that even if Shu Zhaoyuan hadn't seen Sheng Xinghe's face now, it was only a matter of time before they knew they would be together again.
Shu Jin has no masters.
Sheng Xinghe stretched out his hand to wrap his coat tightly, touched his face restrainedly, and arranged, "You go up and see him first, sign or something, and I'll pay the fee."
Shu Jin immediately said, "No need—"
Sheng Xinghe interrupted him: "It doesn't matter, I don't like him, but he also took care of me and my grandfather for so many years, I still remember these."
Shu Jin's eyes were red, the words were on his lips, but he was speechless.
To Sheng Xinghe, Shu Zhaoyuan did something that could be regarded as destroying his conscience, but in his youth, Shu Zhaoyuan really cared about him, took care of him, and even replaced his seriously ill grandfather, filling the time when he needed parents at school. Vacancy, almost playing a father role.
Sheng Xinghe has clear grievances and grievances.
"Go." Sheng Xinghe said.
Shu Jin looked at him, took a few steps back, and then walked into the elevator.
When I went to the nurse station and asked where Shu Zhaoyuan was, Shu Jin walked down the long corridor to the ward.
When he opened the door, Shu Zhaoyuan was lying on the bed with no color in front of him. Hearing the door open, the father and son looked at each other. Shu Jin only had time to call out "Dad."
With a "pop", the ceramic cup was torn apart, and everyone in the ward was stunned.
Shu Jin was hit by the cup, and his forehead immediately began to bleed.
Shu Zhaoyuan was about to go crazy, and yelled, "Fuck you! You eat inside and out! Get out of here!"
Shu Jin stood still.
A middle-aged man pushed him out half coaxing and half persuading him, probably the friend Shu Zhaoyuan spoke of.
The middle-aged man said to him: "...your dad has such a temper, and he was very angry. When he heard about your half-blind, cough, that friend was like this. Shu Jin, it's like this, your dad and people The fight was purely accidental. Uncle took him to a dinner party, who would have met his enemy."
"That person was originally a worker under your father. In the past few years, he started to do it himself in other places and developed."
"I learned later that it was your father who reported it when he went in. What's all this called..."
…
Shu Jin's head was buzzing.
He was pale, and it took him several minutes to turn around again. The world is so small.
The passing nurse scolded them and asked Shu Jin to go to the outpatient clinic to treat the wound on his forehead.
After coming out of the outpatient clinic, Shu Jin did not go upstairs again.
He stood by the flower bed in the secluded part of the hospital for a while, took out his mobile phone and called Sheng Xinghe.
Neither of them spoke immediately after the call.
In the short silence, Sheng Xinghe spoke first: "Shu Jin."
Shu Jin: "Yeah."
Sheng Xinghe: "You're breaking up with me again, aren't you?"
Mingming was still wearing Sheng Xinghe's coat, and the temperature was still there, but Shu Jin's hand on his cheek was frozen like ice cubes. He heard Sheng Xinghe say, "There will be no next five years."
