There is light in the deep sea

Xie Wu couldn't sleep well with his worries on his mind, and Xie Wu floated in a half-deep dream all night.He dreamed that he was seven or eight years old.

At that time, his parents lived apart in Beijing and Shanghai for a long time due to work reasons. His father, Lao Xie, was working hard in Beijing, and he and his mother, Lin Yi, lived at his grandma's house in Shanghai.When I was seven or eight years old, a new park was built near my grandma's house. There was a special area for children to play in. There were many items, like a paradise.Lin Yi often took him there and bought him a balloon every time.

The initial scene in the dream was happier and more complete than the childhood he experienced in reality. It was Lao Xie and Lin Yi who took him there together.A slide, Lao Xie hugged him up at this end, Lin Yi caught him at the bottom, he played like a fool happily.

However, the dream was too shallow, and he knew he was dreaming.Looking at his fake and silly seven or eight years old, he was a little envious and a little sad at the same time, he almost wanted to go over and pat that child and say "Hey, wake up".But he didn't, so the dream continued to sink in, and he dreamed about the scene where Lin Yi was about to divorce Lao Xie.

It was still in those two years, when my grandma passed away, and Lao Xie went back to attend the funeral.After the funeral, Lin Yi told Lao Xie that after being married for so many years and being together for less than two years, they have no feelings anymore, so let's go early.

She also said to Xie Wu, Mom will come back to see you.

On the day she left, she bought a balloon for Xie Wu at the door of her house, and dragged her suitcase for a long distance.Xie Wu grabbed the string of the balloon and watched her back for a long time until he saw her get into a car.

Now fans love to pick him up with balloons, something he hated for a long time.It's just that when I grew up, many things faded away, and the sadness overflowing from the past and the warmth brought by the fans' kindness were also separated. The symbol of the balloon naturally took on a new meaning.

And Lin Yi's phrase "Mom will come back to see you" has only been fulfilled once in more than 20 years.

Probably because it was the only time, he remembered it fairly clearly.It was when he was about to enter school in the third year of junior high school, he had a puppy love, and the quarrel was so vigorous that the whole grade and even the whole school knew about it.

Because, the object of his puppy love was a man, and he did a very scumbag thing at the time - he circulated a long love letter written by him with a literary and artistic youth heart in the whole class, and finally passed it to the teacher .

That was 20 years ago, and puppy love was a serious thing in itself, and it was even more appalling when it involved same-sex people.

This incident directly led to him finally leaving Shanghai, where he had been reluctant to leave, and transferred to Beijing to study with Lao Xie.

Maybe it was because the matter was so serious, Lin Yi unexpectedly appeared from nowhere and stayed with him for a whole week.In any case, he suffered quite a bit of injury. The love letter was exposed by a person who tentatively acquiesced in his feelings and relationship. He said that being teased and betrayed was considered light. At that time, he felt as if he had been stripped naked and executed in public.

Therefore, Lin Yi's arrival is very timely from any point of view.

He remembered that he even let go of his resentment towards his mother for years of dishonesty, fully devoted himself to her care, and told her a lot of his thoughts.It was also during that week that he faced his double-faced orientation, and at the same time gained Lao Xie's understanding, which paved the way for him to be himself upright in the future.

However, when he figured out that he could go out and face anyone again, Lin Yi also left him and Lao Xie again.This time, after 20 years, the phrase "Mom will come back to see you" seems to have lost its effect, and the role of mother no longer exists in his life.

At seven o'clock in the morning, the unshakable biological clock completely pulled him out of the messy dream.

He opened his eyes and saw the bright May morning, rarely clean and fresh.Today is May NO.18, Lin Yi's birthday.In my impression, the weather is particularly good on this day of the year. For 20 years, he never forgot the meaning of this day.Even if he forgets, Lao Xie will remind him.

The way to remind him is to call him home for dinner.

I grabbed my phone and saw that there was a text message from Lao Xie, a person who is "over sixty and can't sleep": Do you want to go home for dinner tonight?

Perhaps it was Lao Xie's attitude of not blaming Lin Yi that affected him. After Xie Wu passed puberty, he never complained about Lin Yi's leaving.Every year around May [-]th, he would subconsciously miss the mother in his memory.

Thinking of this, the conjecture that was circling in his mind when he called Duan Rong before going to bed last night emerged again - he suspected that Jiang Xichen's stepmother was Lin Yi.However, at that time, he forcibly associated and made up a bunch of so-called "grounds" for this conjecture, and now he has found the simplest and most powerful reason: he wants to fuck.

Because I miss Lin Yi, I think about her everything, which makes sense.

As soon as his thoughts were cleared up, he suddenly felt his mind and heart relaxed, so he called Lao Xie.

The person who couldn't sleep picked up the phone: "The sun is drying your butt, so you wake up?"

Xie Wu: "I can't be in the sun. I can't go back to eat at night, there is a performance."

Lao Xie said "Oh" and said, "Then come back for supper?"

Xie Wu sighed: "Isn't it too persistent? You are always in this posture - mourning your dead wife?"

"What nonsense!" Lao Xie became angry all of a sudden, but it's a pity that he has a good temper, no matter how angry he sounds, he doesn't have much momentum, Xie Wu apologized with a smile, and said that it was past ten o'clock when the performance ended, and he returned It’s past eleven o’clock when you arrive at your home in Xicheng District, disturbing your old man’s early bedtime.

Lao Xie listened carefully to what he had to say, and finally said, "Anyway, I will prepare supper."

Xie Wu was helpless, in fact, he understood that this was the only persistence left by Lao Xie, and it was also a reason to call him home confidently, and he really couldn't bear to refuse, so he said: "All right, all right, if you want to wait, just wait , I got up and went to rehearse."

After finishing speaking, he closed the line and got up.

The rehearsal of "Peach City" was in the afternoon, so Xie Wu was still in the rehearsal room of another play this morning.

In that play, he will not be the leading role in this season, and most of the time he will only play a role with very few roles. In the words of film and television, it is called a cameo.But he was the leading actor in the first version of the play, and it is the classic version with the highest evaluation so far, so he often goes to guide the new actors.

After working all morning, I passed by "Peach City", went in and walked around, and found that Jiang Xichen was not there.

His heart skipped a beat, and his first reaction was to wonder if his attitude towards people was too indifferent last night, and if he had hurt the children's self-esteem... After thinking about it, he felt that Jiang Xichen's bottomless unknown creature was not so easy got hurt?So feel relieved.

But I still wandered around in this rehearsal room, looking at my watch once.

"Ah Chen told me that he has something to do in the morning, so come over later, and let me help him block Mo Lao." Just as he was looking at his watch, Xu Lun suddenly appeared beside him, and said.

Xie Wu: "..." Ah Chen?Oh, Jiang Xichen.

In fact, it was not the first time Xu Lun called Jiang Xichen this way, but for some reason, it didn't sound special to him in the past, but now he is suddenly not used to it.Ah Chen, Ah Chen, the relationship between these two children usually seems to be quite harmonious, but is it so good?

Seeing that Xie Wu was distracted, Xu Lun raised his voice and said, "Master?"

"Well, I heard it." Xie Wu listened, pretending that he was in the state all the time, and at the same time his thoughts jumped, and suddenly found that Xu Lun's sudden outburst was very ambiguous.

He frowned, and assumed the posture of a master: "What are you thinking about all day long? You are young, don't follow those gossips with dirty thoughts, Xiao Jiang and I are innocent and have nothing!"

Xu Lun pursed his lips and looked indifferent: "Oh."

Xie Wu just likes his detached and desolate appearance, which is not at all different from those monkeys who are lively and gossip.He patted Xu Lun on the shoulder in satisfaction: "Take your time to work hard, I'll come back in the afternoon—come."

The word "come" paused obviously, and the voice also weakened.Xu Lun raised his eyes, followed his gaze, and saw Jiang Xichen standing at the door of the rehearsal room.The distance between them was only ten feet, so the conversation just now must have been overheard.

Xu Lun: "Master, I understand, you and Ah Chen are innocent and have nothing - I'm leaving!"

Xie Wu: "..." Bah, even if he is blind, there is no difference between Xu Lun and those monkeys who jump up and down eager to watch gossip updates every day!

The monkey left, Jiang Xichen walked over, said hello lightly, and walked past the innermost row of tables in the rehearsal room.

Xie Wu thought for a while, followed him, and asked awkwardly, "Did you sleep well?"

Jiang Xichen put down his bag, took a bottle of mineral water from it, and put it on the table: "I drank too much last night, and I got a headache."

"Then can you have enough energy today?" Xie Wu glanced at the bottle of mineral water, took it and unscrewed it for him, and then handed it back, "Did you go to see a doctor in the morning? Did you go by yourself?"

Jiang Xichen's eyes fell on the opened mineral water, and after a while, he looked at Xie Wu again.This gaze was as focused as ever, and it also carried a sense of restraint as always, and it was obvious that Xie Wu had figured out Xie Wu's ability to bear with him. Before the other party showed discomfort, he retracted his gaze, took the water, and dug out a plastic medicine bottle.

"Sister Chu asked someone to accompany me, how dare I go by myself. The medicine has been prepared, here—" He poured a few pills into his palm, and deliberately stretched them out in front of Xie Wu, "I took it, Right away."

Xie Wu was speechless, watching him swallow the medicine and mineral water together, his heart, which had already turned over the chapter on introspection, suddenly felt a little soft-hearted again.It has to be said that Jiang Xichen's long-term establishment of the good-looking baby character is very successful. He can make people feel like loving a child towards him anytime and anywhere, and can't help but compromise everything to him.

"I had a bad attitude last night, and I apologize."

Jiang Xichen smiled and nodded his chin: "I accept."

"But," Xie Wu hung his hand above his forehead, clasped his fingers, and saw another chestnut, "tell me honestly, when you are looking for that house, do you know me who lives opposite?"

Jiang Xichen: "I didn't know it at first, but I knew it when I decided to move in yesterday."

Xie Wu: "When was that?"

Jiang Xichen: "Before I come to record the show."

Xie Wu: "In other words, you decided to move in around noon?"

Jiang Xichen nodded.Xie Wu sighed: "Then how much did you move last night?"

Jiang Xichen: "I haven't got anything yet. Sister Chu only started to help me arrange moving things today."

Xie Wu: "...how did you sleep?"

Jiang Xichen: "The previous resident had some things that he didn't take away. After laying them down, he went to sleep. It was really uncomfortable, and there was no hot water, so I went to the hotel outside to take a shower early in the morning, and then went to the doctor's place..."

"Why didn't you tell me this at the time?" Xie Wu interrupted him.

Jiang Xichen twitched the corner of his mouth: "Tell you, will you let me live in your house?"

Xie Wu: "I won't let you sleep on the floor anyway."

"... Well, I missed a great opportunity, my fault." Having said that, Jiang Xichen smiled even brighter.

Now Xie Wu's self-examination has turned into self-blame, which is stuck in his heart and makes people impulsive. He softly said: "I invite you to have a supper tonight, it is an apology to you. Also, if the house is not cleaned up tonight Okay, you can come to my place and make do with it."

Hearing this, Jiang Xichen was taken aback: "Then I, shall I tell Sister Chu not to clean up?"

Xie Wu's hanging chestnut finally hit the boy's forehead without hesitation.
