Fengshan

Chapter 25

Du Yu usually lives in the dormitory, and rarely goes home. When he enters the door, there is a layer of dust.Du Yu hurriedly took two steps back, blocking Chen Xu from entering, "It's gray inside, wait a minute."

He himself went in, opened the window to sprinkle water, turned over a hideous towel, soaked it in water, and began to wipe it quickly.Fortunately, Du Yu came back once before and paid all the expenses, so that there was no such thing as a water and electricity cutoff.

Chen Xumo followed in. As soon as he came in, he was choked and coughed non-stop. Du Yu laughed, "I'll do it myself. I'll move fast. You wait."

Since Chen Xu really didn't have any good life skills, he could only withdraw reluctantly and stood in the corridor to look at the environment here.

Du Yu’s house is an old-fashioned community. It’s actually a bit reluctant to say that it’s a community. There is no real estate here. The safety is worth worrying about. The location is also remote. The area is only more than 60 square meters.

The furnishings inside are rarely very old, and there is no feeling of home at all.

But the most important thing is that it looks like no one has lived here for a long time... So, where are his parents?

Chen Xu had doubts in his heart, but he held back and didn't ask Du Yu. When the ashes were almost scattered, he went in and gave Du Yu a hand.After a lot of effort, the two finally tossed the house into a habitable appearance.

Du Yu dug out a jug, hesitated for a long time and decided it was better not to use it, thinking in his mind that he should order takeaway and ask the delivery boy to bring two bottles of water.

"Can I order takeout?" Du Yu took out his phone and opened the takeout page and handed it to Chen Xu.

Most of the time, Chen Xu was very talkative, and he didn't express any objection at the moment. He chose a rice bowl and handed it back to Du Yu.

After eating, it was already dark, Du Yu didn't speak, and Chen Xu didn't intend to get up and leave.The two looked at each other, and Du Yu smiled, "If you don't dislike it, you can stay here."

Of course Chen Xu didn't dislike it.

Chen Xu went to take a shower, and Du Yu changed his set of bedding. Fortunately, he washed and put them away last time when he came back, so he wouldn't be unable to sleep now.After changing, Du Yu sat on the sofa and replied to WeChat. Shi Xiaojun asked Du Yu's situation by voice, but he never got around to replying to him.Not long after, Chen Xu came out to wipe his hair, using Du Yu's towel.

Du Yu pinched his chin and looked at him.

Chen Xu: "?"

Du Yu: "I thought someone like you would have a cleanliness."

"what type?"

"Elite people."

Chen Xu sat on the sofa, "Actually, I'm a dead house."

Du Yu raised his eyebrows.

"Seriously, I still read comics."

Comic books really didn't match Chen Xu's temperament. Du Yu was amused, took out the hair dryer and tried it, and it still worked, and handed it to Chen Xu, "There is a room that belongs to my mother, can I sleep with me? old classmate?"

Hearing the word "old classmate", Chen Xu smiled, and remembered that at the beginning of the reunion, he forcibly used the banner of his old classmate to make a relationship, "I admit that this is really not a good excuse, but I have nothing else with you. connect."

After Chen Xu finished speaking, he glanced at the hair dryer, refused to answer it, and shook his head, "I won't blow it."

"No?" Du Yu was surprised, "My house doesn't have an air conditioner, so you don't think it's cold enough?"

"I want to use natural wind."

"..." Du Yu choked, "Use natural wind to blow your hair into popsicles."

Chen Xu was unmoved, Du Yu directly pulled him closer to the bathroom and pressed him on the small plastic stool, plugged in the electricity himself and gave Chen Xu a blow.Compared to Chen Xu's gentleness yesterday, Du Yu seemed less proficient in business. Fortunately, the hair dryer was not harmful, and the result was that Chen Xu's hair blew up.

Du Yu put away the hair dryer, looked at it with folded hands, and forcefully argued: "Although it's a bit messy, it's better than a headache and a cold... It will go smoothly when I wake up tomorrow. I have experience with this."

Chen Xu stood up and took a look in the mirror. The corners of his mouth curled up, and he looked at Du Yu with a smile and said nothing.Du Yu lowered his head in shame, and whispered, "I was wrong."

Chen Xu hugged the person next to him, "I think I need spiritual compensation."

"No problem, no problem. Tomorrow, I will pay Mr. Tony to customize a hairstyle for you."

"No."

"Then Mr. Jim?"

"I can't wait until tomorrow." Chen Xu withdrew his hand and pressed it against Du Yu's waist.

Du Yu looked puzzled, "Could it be that you want me to come? To tell you the truth, although I am omnipotent, I really haven't mastered my haircut skills yet."

"What about other technologies?"

Before Du Yu could react to any technique, Chen Xu had already moved over and kissed Du Yu's mouth very quickly.

Du Yu: "..."

Elite Chen has already walked out of the bathroom with a satisfied face.

After all, the total area is just over sixty square meters, and Du Yu's room is not that big. There is a single bed and a small table and chairs. There is not even room for a wardrobe, so we can only make a row of cabinets above the wall. Put clothes and sundries.

Chen Xu looked around, looked at the table and thought that Du Yu used to read and write here before, and felt a little hot when he touched the bed - this is the bed that Du Yu has slept on for many years, and the quilts and sheets are also used by Du Yu It's over... This realization made Chen Xu's body hot, and he hurriedly looked away, but he moved back after two seconds, moved his fingers, and then stuffed a hand inside the quilt without paying attention.

When Du Yu came in after washing up, Chen Xu had regained his composure and was sitting by the bed in a dignified manner, playing with his mobile phone.

Du Yu: "Isn't it cold?"

Chen Xu: "?"

The temperature in the room was low, and Chen Xu was only wearing pajamas. Du Yu tried it with the back of his hand. As expected, Chen Xu's hand was extremely cold. He urged Chen Xu into the bed, and Du Yu climbed up on the other side.

……

Although we have shared the same bed once last night, there is still a big difference in the feeling of being in a hotel and being at home.The bed was not wide, and both of them maintained a stiff posture, leaving just a gap in the middle.

The room was so quiet that one could hear each other's breathing, which was a little unnaturally heavy. Obviously, the two of them would not be able to fall asleep for a while.

"Chen Xu." Du Yu turned his face to Chen Xu's direction.

"Ok?"

"Are you going back to your parents during the Chinese New Year?"

There are only [-] days left in the New Year, Chen Xu's parents are abroad, and Chen Xu has been staying in China for half a year, no matter what, it's time to go back to see his parents.

"Go back to grandparents' house, my parents will come too..."

Although there is no need to go abroad, but Chen Xu's grandparents are not in this city, it is inevitable that Chen Xu will be separated from Du Yu for a few days.Chen Xu was very unhappy when he got his wish and was about to part, "Why don't you go back with me?"

Du Yu: "???"

He didn't slow down and coughed twice, "Isn't that appropriate?"

Although Chen Xu's parents have always been quite used to Chen Xu, but Chen Xu is not sure how his son will react when he suddenly brings a gay man back, "I'll just go for a few days and come back soon."

"Ah."

One problem they couldn't avoid was their respective futures. Chen Xu's family was studying abroad, but Du Yu didn't even have a job to make ends meet.Even if Chen Xu was willing to retreat again and again, Du Yu couldn't bear to wrong him.

Chen Xu probably guessed what Du Yu was thinking, and hooked Du Yu's finger under the quilt, "What you are worried about is not a problem, Du Yu, I am here."

·

The next day, Chen Xu moved the belongings from the hotel over.Du Yu's house was empty, and Chen Xu looked around, wondering if he should buy an air conditioner or something, but when it got cold at night, he could hug Du Yu justifiably. The idea of ​​air conditioning.

Well, the air conditioner is optional, but you have to buy a desk first. Du Yu's small desk is too small to use it well. Although he is an idler, he still has things to deal with occasionally.Just as he was thinking, someone knocked on the door and broke his thoughts.

Chen Xu opened the door, and there was a young man in his 20s standing outside. The young man's eyes widened and he asked, "Where's Brother Du Yu?"

Chen Xu didn't know the young man's background, so he didn't let him in, "Du Yu, someone is looking for you."

Du Yu was still washing and brushing, and came out wearing an apron and plastic gloves. A strange thought flashed through the young man's mind, but he didn't catch it. When he saw Du Yu, he hurriedly said, "Brother Du Yu, are you back?"

Du Yu's enthusiasm for the young man was not high, so he simply said "um".

The young man didn't continue to exchange pleasantries, and said directly, "Brother Du Yu, your bathroom is leaking."

Du Yu wasn't surprised at all, he answered and started to go back to his cell phone to make calls.Although there is no property in their community, there is an old man who can repair it, and the old man promised to come right away.

The old man came quickly, Du Yu was watching from inside, while Chen Xu and the young man were still standing at the door.The young man felt a little itchy, and wanted to ask this big brother what his background was, but seeing Chen Xu's indifferent face, he didn't dare to ask.

After standing for a while, Chen Xu asked him, "Have you lived here for many years?"

The young man was puzzled, but he quickly replied, "Ah, I've lived here since I was born."

"Then you... do you know someone named Xie Jiao?"

"I know. I used to live upstairs from Brother Du Yu's house. The whole family moved out a few years ago. I heard that they married a rich man."

Chen Xu followed Du Yu's back in the room, and narrowed his eyes slightly, "Are you familiar with her?"

·

As the Chinese New Year was approaching, Du Yu was not in a hurry to find a job. These few days, he and Chen Xu stayed at home, cooking and watching movies together, and their life became closer to harmony.

After a few leisurely days like this, Chen Xu's parents returned home and began to urge him to go home. It took Chen Xu two days to buy a ticket to go back.

After seeing off Chen Xu, the house was empty, and Du Yu was in a daze on the small sofa in the living room until dark.

Shi Xiaojun visited Du Yu once and asked him if he wanted to go back together for the New Year.

Shi Xiaojun was careless, he didn't see the traces of two people living here, and said, "This house is too deserted."

Du Yu: "Yes."

Shi Xiaojun: "I'm still short of getting angry."

Du Yu: "Yes."

Shi Xiaojun was thinking about what to say next, Du Yu asked directly: "What's the matter?"

"Uh, my mother, your aunt, helped us find a blind date, and I want you to go back with me." People who are nearly thirty years old still need to worry about these things at home, Shi Xiaojun felt a little embarrassed.

"..." Du Yu really didn't expect this to happen, and felt a little embarrassed for no reason, "No need."

"Why don't you use it? You're a grown-up. These years have been rough. You have to have someone by your side to take care of you... The conditions there are good. I opened a shop in the town and the income is not bad. You can find a job in the city. It’s hard, why don’t we go back together.”

"Are you going back?" Du Yu asked.

"I'm getting old too. If I can stay at home and get married this time, I'll find something to do after I have a child."

Shi Xiaojun has never thought of staying in the city for a long time, so it is not surprising that he wants to go back this time.

"Don't change the subject, just go back and have a blind date with me this time..."

"I have a partner."

"My mother kept talking about it, and I hope we can settle down soon... What did you say?!" Shi Xiaojun was a little too late to react to Du Yu's words, and immediately jumped up.

Du Yu repeated, "I have a partner, so I don't need to go on a blind date."

A simple sentence, but it can make people bend their lips.

Shi Xiaojun: "..."

The two of them have been working in the hotel for the past year, and they didn't see each other when they looked up. Didn't he know that Du Yu had blossomed into a peach blossom?But looking at Du Yu's expression, he was very serious...

"Okay, I kept it a secret, where did you meet the little girl?" Shi Xiaojun smiled, and he was also very happy that Du Yu could get out of the single.

The smile on the corner of Du Yu's mouth hadn't stopped yet, but he lowered his head and didn't answer Shi Xiaojun's question.Shi Xiaojun, who has always been rough, caught a trace of something wrong miraculously, and his voice became a little messy: "Who is it?"

He was eager to get the answer he wanted, but Du Yu just gave him a sorry look, and still didn't speak.

Shi Xiaojun sat down on the sofa, the quality of the sofa was not good, and it was really old, so it was not comfortable at all.

After being relatively silent for a while, Shi Xiaojun said softly, "It's your classmate."

"It's him."

Shi Xiaojun covered his face with one hand, his hand was dark and dry with many cracks and scattered traces of frostbite, the skin exposed between the fingers and the palm was rough enough.He doesn't know how to take care of himself. People in their thirties are already showing signs of aging. After they get used to bending their knees to life, they lose something, which stretches the age of his skin by a few years.

He put down his hand, closed his eyes and frowned, "He's a man."

"I know, me too."

The age gap between the two is actually not that big, and no one paid attention to brothers and friends when they were young.It was Du Yu who caught up with Shi Xiaojun after he was released from prison, learned to take care of his younger brother without a teacher, and had to worry about everything.When he was shocked just now, he wanted to scold Du Yu fiercely like a parent, and forced him back to the right way to go home for a blind date, but he swallowed the words again-after all, he was just a cousin of his.

"I know that these few years have not been easy for you, but you can't... Have you thought about the future, you won't last long."

"Cousin, I've thought enough."
