Imbalance

There is never a shortage of small restaurants in the streets and alleys.Gu Ziyu didn't go to those places often, and Chen Yifan didn't pick them either, so the two of them randomly found a barbecue restaurant nearby and sat down.I ordered dozens of barbecue skewers and a few bottles of beer.

Just as Gu Ziyu was about to open his mouth, Chen Yifan quickly picked up a skewer of meat and stuffed it into his mouth: "Stop talking."

Gu Ziyu chewed twice, swallowed, and continued: "Fanfan."

Fanfan is Chen Yifan's nickname, and Gu Ziyu called him that when he was a child. This habit was not changed until Chen Yifan strongly protested in junior high school.After all, it would be awkward for a big man to be called by his nickname in public.Gu Ziyu also followed him, calling it that in private.Hearing this familiar tone, Chen Yifan knew that Gu Ziyu was going to educate him.I had no choice but to bow my head obediently and listen to the training.For so many years, Chen Yifan was very used to this way of getting along.

"Fanfan, I know you feel bad about your mother, but have you forgotten what you promised me? No matter what they do, you must first be yourself."

In fact, Chen Yifan understands the truth, but he just feels awkward, he doesn't want to go back to that empty house, it's like going back to when he was a child, waking up from a nightmare in the middle of the night, the house is empty, no one responds to his shouts.How did I do it at that time, turn on all the lights by myself, wrap myself in the quilt, hide in the quilt and cry, until I was exhausted.

Chen Yifan's eyes gradually turned red.

How could Gu Ziyu not understand his mood, he stretched out his hand and stroked Chen Yifan's head, Chen Yifan's hair was soft, just like the deepest part of his heart.But he knew very well that if some wounds were not opened, he could not continue walking.

"I hate her."

"I really hate her."

"I hate her for giving birth to me no matter why."

"She didn't care about me since I was a child, and your mother helped me hold the parent meeting..."

Gu Ziyu listened quietly to Chen Yifan venting there.Chen Yifan got himself very drunk, lay down on the table and fell asleep.Gu Ziyu also drank a lot, a little over the top, but still sober.Gu Ziyu was glad that his wine was good, otherwise it would be a bit of a headache to face Chen Yifan who was in a drunken mood.

Gu Ziyu settled the bill, carried Chen Yifan on his back and took a taxi home.

Chen Yifan's home was in the old community, the house was not big, but it was empty, lacking the smell of people, it seemed quite deserted.Chen Yifan's room is better, it's clean and refreshing, but a few books are in a mess and it's an eyesore.Gu Ziyu put him on the bed, covered him with a quilt, and cleaned up Chen Yifan's room casually.Gu Ziyu often comes here and stays here frequently, so he is already familiar with the way here.

Chen Yifan turned over on the bed, kicked the quilt away, and shouted in a daze, "Water, thirsty, Gu Ziyu..."

Gu Ziyu covered him with the quilt again, poured a glass of water for Chen Yifan to drink.Chen Yifan took two sips, pushed away the cup, and started clamoring for a Coke again.

"Fanfan, be good, it's not good to drink coke now, drink water, drink cola tomorrow, be good..."

"Ice Coke!" Chen Yifan's attitude was very firm.Sitting on the bed, eyes half-opened, with a fierce look on his face.

Gu Ziyu was amused by his expression, and hurriedly gave him a hug: "Okay, Coke, Coke, you drink the water first, I'll buy you a Coke."

Gu Ziyu didn't plan to give Chen Yifan an iced Coke, fearing that his stomach would hurt at night, so he bought a Coke, found two pieces of ginger from home, made a bowl of ginger tea with the Coke, and served it to Chen Yifan.

"Ice Coke is sold out, only this."

Chen Yifan took a sip and felt that the taste was a bit strange.Smell the smell carefully, it seems that it is Coke again.Just like that, he drank the whole glass with a look of doubt and curiosity.Gu Ziyu suppressed a smile at the side, pretending to be serious: "Okay, I've finished drinking the Coke, and lie down quickly."

"No! I want to hear you sing."

"What song to sing, it's late, it's time to sleep."

Chen Yifan gave him a vicious look.

Gu Ziyu raised his hands in surrender: "All right, all right, ancestor, you can sing whatever you want, what are you singing about?"

"Sing "The Brightest Star in the Night Sky"."

"Where is the stage full of flowers..." After speaking, Chen Yifan sang loudly there, and then said to himself, "No, it seems to be out of tune."

This is not out of tune, it is clearly a song change.Gu Ziyu complained silently in his heart.

"The great river flows eastward..." The drunken people didn't realize it, and they still sang loudly.

Gu Ziyu was afraid that his ears would be poisoned, so he quickly stopped him, pinned him on the bed, covered his mouth, and sang "The Brightest Star in the Night Sky" to him.

Chen Yifan's eyes were very big, and when he looked at Gu Ziyu, there seemed to be twinkling stars.

It was not easy for Chen Yifan to settle down, Gu Ziyu twisted a towel and wiped Chen Yifan's face.Chen Yifan didn't feel well, so he slapped Gu Ziyu's hand away, turned over and fell asleep.

"No conscience." Gu Ziyu hurriedly washed up, and instead of going to bed in a hurry, he sat down at the desk.

The next day, when Chen Yifan woke up in a daze, it was already past 9 o'clock, and Gu Ziyu had already gone to class.There was a note beside the bed, Chen Yifan took a look, it was written in Gu Ziyu's handwriting.

It is said that his handwriting is like his own, and Gu Ziyu's handwriting is just like his own, correct and beautiful, with a sharp edge hidden in his muscles and bones.

"Breakfast is in the pot, and you can eat it after heating it up. I asked you to leave today, and wait for me to come back tonight. Remember to eat at noon."

"Troubleshooting." Chen Yifan cursed, but couldn't stop the smile on his face. He got out of bed and opened the curtains.The sun is shining brightly outside the window.He squinted and looked out.A night of drunkenness seemed to have taken away the burden in his heart.

At least, I am not alone.

There are a few notebooks neatly placed on the desk, and you don't need to look through them to know who left them.For people like Gu Ziyu, they are too lazy to take notes, so Chen Yifan casually flipped through it, and it happened to be the review course he left behind in the past few days, which neatly listed the key points and ideas.

There was still warm porridge in the pot in the kitchen, it was Chen Yifan's favorite red bean porridge, the kind with a lot of sugar added, and two boiled eggs.Chen Yifan tasted it. "Gu Ziyu's cooking skills are getting better and better, not bad, next time let him cook pork ribs for me to eat, I wonder if his cooking skills have improved..." Chen Yifan was talking to himself, and then he looked outside There are 21 yuan on the table.

He couldn't help but laughed. "Oh, Gu Ziyu really looks more and more like a qualified father."

21 yuan, just enough to buy a bowl of noodles from Uncle Zhang's downstairs, two sesame cakes, and a glass of iced cola.

Chen Yifan was drinking porridge with his notebook in his arms, and decided to go to school after spending 21 yuan.By the way, give Gu Ziyu a biscuit to eat.
