After moving out of the original home, life was like fleeing, hiding from Gu Tao every day, but finally I had a little nest of my own, so I didn't have to worry about it every day.
Gu Chaoming wears a mask every day to and from school, for fear of being caught by Gu Tao on the road. Every day when I came out of the school, I had to check whether there was a figure of Gu Tao around. When I saw a figure similar to Gu Tao several times, Gu Chaoming would be shocked and hurried away to avoid it.
Even when you come out of your new home, you have to observe the surroundings first, and when you go home, check whether the door lock has been picked up.
At first, Gu Chaoming felt like he was a thief when he went out every day. He didn't want his efforts to be in vain, but then he didn't even notice Gu Tao's shadow, and Gu Chaoming felt that he was too nervous.
Even more nervous than him are the three people who accompany him every day. They accompany him to and from school, and wear masks and hats with him. They have become masks and hats F4 in the second and second classes of senior high school. When Lao Chen saw it on the road, he almost didn't recognize it. After recognizing it, the four of them escaped together. The next day, Lao Chen called him into the office and asked them what they were doing.
He and Lao Chen escaped the catastrophe by playing sloppy eyes, and several people continued to wear it "without repentance".
The three became Gu Chaoming's bodyguards, and their new home was close to the school, which once became a secret base for the four of them. After sending Gu Chaoming home, they didn't go home one by one. They stayed at Gu Chaoming's house to do their homework, play with their mobile phones, chat, and then go back after a while.
Gu Tao didn't show up for several days. After eating, Gu Chaoming walked to the floor-to-ceiling window in the living room to look at the night view outside the window. Suddenly, he wanted to go downstairs for a walk and walk around the neighborhood instead of repeating the daily way to school.
Ye Feng caressed the closed transparent glass window, and Gu Chaoming stood behind the transparent glass window and was moved by the night outside the window, wanting to know its temperature.
The temperature has picked up very quickly recently, and this year's spring seems to have passed in a hurry, probably because there are too many happy things.
Gu Chaoming changed his clothes and walked out of the bedroom. He turned off the lights in the living room. For some reason, maybe it was night. In the living room where the lights were turned off, Gu Chaoming suddenly wanted to see the photo wall that was posted when we set up our new home together.
Stepping on the moonlight in the living room and walking to the photo wall, the living room did not turn on the lights, it was dark, and the moonlight was so bright tonight that Gu Chaoming could see the photos on the photo wall clearly.
Standing in front of the photo wall, Gu Chaoming reached out and touched the gray photos under the moonlight, fixed the photos without frames with his hands, and recalled the past by looking at the smiling faces on the photos.
This year's spring is less rainy, and this year's spring Gu Chaoming smiles a lot.
Looking at the photo wall in the dark and recalling the past years, other people's photo walls usually have a family portrait, even if they don't hang up, most of them will have one in their hands.
He didn't even have a family photo, maybe it's a good thing not to have it, but Gu Chaoming also thought about how nice it would be if he could put a family photo on the photo wall, and how nice it would be if he had a complete family.
That way the pictures on the wall can show his happy life.
Perfect family, good friends, lovers who love each other, everything is just right, and everything is too good.
The current life is not bad either. He does not seek perfection, but only wants to live a stable life. It is enough that both the people he loves and the people who love him are fine.
After seeing the photos on the wall, Gu Chaoming walked to the entrance to change his shoes and walked out of the house.
The wind at night was warmer than a few days ago, not so cold. Gu Chaoming sent a message to Lin Jianfan while going downstairs, saying that he came out for a walk.
"Be careful." Lin Jianfan urged.
"understood."
There was no dust from the previous corridor, and there were no colorful advertisements in the corridor. Gu Chaoming trotted downstairs lightly, and was still sending a message to Lin Jianfan when he walked out of the corridor.
After sending the message, Gu Chaoming looked around, looking around like an investigation, but did not find Gu Tao and Gu Chaoming came out with peace of mind.
Gu Chaoming sent a message to Lin Jianfan: "Report sir, I am safe."
Lin Jianfan: "That's good."
Gu Chaoming walked around for a few laps and slipped for more than 20 minutes. Gu Chaoming went upstairs and went home, opened the door to change his shoes, sat on the sofa and sent a message to Lin Jianfan: "Report sir, get home safely. ."
Having traveled at night this time, Gu Chaoming felt a lot more comfortable in his new home, and he would not be as nervous as before if Gu Tao found him.
Because I go out early and return late every day, I only know the neighbor across the street for several days, an ordinary couple with a small child, and the man is holding a newborn baby in his hand.
When he came home, he met them in the community garden. Under the orange sunset, Gu Chaoming saw the baby in their arms for the first time, and the last time he only saw their eldest son.
Gu Chaoming got closer and looked at the little baby in the man's arms, which was fragrant and milky, and whose face had not yet opened. As soon as he got close, he could feel how fragile she was.
"What a small hand." Gu Chaoming said when he saw the baby's hand.
The man holding the child smiled: "Newborn children are all so small, and they all grow from this little to your size."
Hearing the man's words, Gu Chaoming thought that the hard work when he was a child was the one who pulled him up, Qu Yingyi. Although Gu Tao still had a job when he was a child, Qu Yingyi stayed by his side regardless of whether he taught him or not.
Separating from the couple, Gu Chaoming looked back at the couple walking in the opposite direction.
The sunset thick as egg yolk hung on them, the little baby in their arms was wrapped in a small quilt, and the several-year-old child was held by his mother and kept looking at his sister.
A happy family, Gu Chaoming turned around and walked towards the new home alone.
After promising Lin Jianfan to move out of the original home, Gu Chaoming also thought that this escape might just be another "run away from home". After all, the last time he left with such a mighty suitcase, he was taken back by Gu Tao. , but Gu Chaoming was cautiously guarding against it, for fear of repeating the same mistakes again.
He moved out of that house as quickly as possible, and was accompanied by three "bodyguards" by his side. Gu Chaoming got used to life in his new home little by little, and increasingly hoped that this was not just a "runaway" but a real get away.
You don't have to wait until the third year of high school a year later, and you don't have to wait until that summer.
Moving away from his original home and living without Gu Tao's interruption made Gu Chaoming so stable that he almost thought that Gu Tao had just disappeared from his life.
Gu Tao seemed to have evaporated, withdrawing from his world for a long time, making Gu Chaoming both comfortable and uncomfortable in a stable life.
The hat and mask group of four disappeared. They usually went to school after taking off their hats and masks. Sometimes Su Bing and the others would continue to rest at Gu Chaoming's house for a while.
In calm days, there is always laughter, but in the night after laughter, I suddenly think of Gu Tao, and suddenly dream of that dream again. In the dead of night, Gu Chaoming even wondered if he had been beaten to death by Gu Tao, and his current life was just an illusion? Or Gu Tao didn't come to him because he disappeared or died outside
It is easy to think wildly at night, and during the day people hide the scars of the night. Waking up from a nightmare, Gu Chaoming was lying on the bed with sweat on his back.
There was only one bed at home. He and Lin Jianfan used to lie on this bed for a nap together that day. Gu Chaoming rubbed the place where Lin Jianfan held him to sleep that day. , imagined that Lin Jianfan was holding him like that day. He thought that maybe he was just having a nightmare, and when he opened his eyes and saw Fan, he would say to him, "Dreams are all reversed."
If life is a dream now, it is also a good dream.
It was another normal Saturday. Su Bing recently became obsessed with skateboarding. He watched skateboarding videos all day, and bought one for himself. He wanted to go out at night to try it out, and by the way, he asked a few of them out to play.
It was said that he came out to accompany him to learn skateboarding, but Gu Chaoming and Lin Jianfan went to fall in love on the deserted alley in the square. Cen Xili had no interest in skateboarding and looked indifferent.
"Xili, hold me here, I'll rush up a slope." Su Bing said, stepping on the skateboard with his arms outstretched.
"You don't even know how to level, so what kind of slopes are you going for? Don't fall." Cen Xili advised him.
When Gu Chaoming took Lin Jianfan out of the deserted path and returned to Su Bing and Cen Xili, the two of them were not playing skateboards, but were sitting there playing with their mobile phones.
"Yo, the two of you are back, it's incredible, and you're willing to come back. I thought you would just leave." Su Bing said strangely when he saw them approaching from a distance.
"You walk away, why didn't you slip?" Gu Chaoming pulled Lin Jianfan to sit down and asked Su Bing.
"too tired."
The skateboard slid back and forth on his feet, Su Bingyi said that he was tired and put his head on Cen Xili's shoulder.
I originally wanted to try putting it on Lin Jianfan's shoulder, but Gu Chaoming found out and saw his eyes.
Forget it, I can't afford it, I can't afford it, I'll go find Xi Li.
Who would have thought that Xili would be so ruthless, let him rest for a few seconds and not allow him to lean on him, his shoulders lowered, Su Bing's head lost support.
Where did Cen Xili's shoulder move and Su Bing's head followed, Cen Xili pushed Su Bing's head away.
"Wuwuwu, you are so ruthless, Dad is so sad." Su Bing cried while covering his heart.
"Break your heart." Gu Chaoming said ruthlessly.
Su Bing vomited three liters of blood, pointed at the three of them and beat his chest: "Three unfilial sons."
Su Bing was very good at acting alone, Gu Chaoming watched him make trouble, and Lin Jianfan sat beside him and listened quietly.
Days flow smoothly day by day, the teenagers laugh, the teenagers play, on this night, on a moonlit night, on an ordinary Saturday.
After playing until it was almost time to go home, Gu Chaoming said goodbye to them and walked home.
The bustling streets were still full of people at night. Gu Chaoming passed through the crowded places and continued to walk forward.
The roadside streetlights are lit up and arranged in the distance.
The flow of people was decreasing, Gu Chaoming was typing and chatting with Lin Jianfan as he walked, and when he heard the ringtone of special concern, he couldn't help taking out his mobile phone and replying to him.
During the chat, Lin Jianfan found him typing while walking, and Lin Jianfan persuaded him to go home and talk.
"Okay, listen to you."
The sweet mood evoked the corners of Gu Chaoming's mouth, Gu Chaoming suddenly stopped, his eyes widened, his heart trembled violently, and his phone almost fell to the ground.
He heard a familiar, old voice calling his name behind him.
"Chaoming."
