No.70 days

On the high-speed train back, the two were extremely silent.

When I walked out of Shapingba Railway Station, it was already dark, the ground was wet, and the light of street lamps was reflected in small puddles.They didn't bring umbrellas, so they had to go home in the rain. Fortunately, the rain in spring was as fine as a thread, and they only slightly wet their clothes.

When he got home at 07:30, Yang Shuyi said, "Go take a shower, I'll order a takeaway, and I'll have dinner after washing." His tone was normal, and his eyes were gentle, as if nothing had happened.

Shao Wu hesitated for a few seconds and asked him, "Together?"

"It's okay." Yang Shuyi carefully pulled the shirt hem out of his belt, lowered his head and said, "You wash it first."

"Oh... well."

Shao Wu went into the bathroom and turned up the water temperature. Soon, the milky white steam filled the small bathroom, and the water droplets flowed into the eyes along the ends of the hair, so the vision became blurred.

Shao Wu closed his eyes, for some reason, the scene just now was always repeated in his mind.

Yang Shuyi lowered his head and carefully pulled out the hem of his shirt.

A few days ago, he helped Yang Shuyi tidy up the closet - in fact, it was just two sorting boxes.Yang Shuyi's clothes are not many, and the styles are very simple. Perhaps because he worked in the geological team before, he often went out into the field, and indeed he didn't have much chance to wear formal clothes.

The lead gray shirt he was wearing today was one of the few formal clothes in the box. It was a brand that Shao Wu had never heard of, and the material was soft to the touch.When tidying up the clothes that day, Shao Wu saw that the shirt was folded into square tofu cubes and placed in the original paper box.

The carton was also well preserved, almost like new, when Shao Wu casually asked him: "Is this just bought?"

Yang Shuyi smiled and said, "I bought it when I graduated from college. It's been a long time."

"So new."

"This one is quite expensive," he pursed his lips, as if a little embarrassed, "I don't usually wear it."

Thinking of this, Shao Wu accidentally turned off the shower, wiped off the water from his hand, and picked up the phone.

Usually he would not bring his mobile phone into the bathroom, but today he seemed to be out of his mind and brought it in.

Open Taobao and search for that brand.

There is even a flagship store.Shao Wu quickly found the light gray shirt.

536 yuan.

The scene appeared in front of his eyes again, Yang Shuyi carefully pulled out the hem of his shirt, his movements were very gentle.

In fact, it is just a shirt worth more than 500 yuan, which is not considered expensive in the brand of formal wear. Now if you take a walk in the mall, you will know that the price of men's formal wear has long been in the tens of thousands.

Is more than 500 yuan expensive?It's nothing to Shaowu's family, and it's nothing to that boss Zeng. Maybe 500 yuan is a meal.

But Shao Wu knew how Yang Shuyi earned the 500 yuan.

For Yang Shuyi, a college student, 500 yuan means a lot of China Mobile phone cards, a lot of data plans, and a few network cables.Maybe I have to travel a lot on the huge campus of Southwest University to earn this money.

Thinking about those apexes feels like a prick, even though it was a long time ago.

My mother said that the loss outweighs the gain.

Shao Wu had to admit that what she said was reasonable—it was only in recent years that she realized it. When she was rejected by "master's degree and above", when the interviewer told her bluntly that "we already have candidates" , Watching those students who were not as good as him step by step enter the famous school and make achievements.

what is he doingWith Yang Shuyi as the center of his life, he is doing some boring work, helping students choose schools, choose majors, and correct paperwork...

It may not be true that "the gains outweigh the losses", but he knows that he has indeed lost a lot.Resources, opportunities, knowledge... Those lost things can't be replaced by more time, and what is lost is lost.

Shao Wu washed the foam off his body, wrapped it in a bath towel, and smelled the smell of stewed beef as soon as he opened the door, Shao Wu raised his voice and asked, "What did you order?"

Yang Shuyi came from the kitchen, holding a porcelain cup in his hand, which Shao Wu usually used for drinking.He said: "Hand-rolled noodles, beef brisket, and fried oil wheat."

Shao Wu: "Did you wash the cup?"

"Well, I didn't make coffee in the morning."

"..." Shao Wu suddenly remembered that since Yang Shuyi lived in his house, he never washed anything from water cups to clothes.

Yang Shuyi was still wearing that shirt, with his sleeves rolled up, and there were some drops of water on his forearms.

"Blow-dry your hair before eating." Yang Shuyi said.

After he finished speaking, he turned around and wanted to leave, Shao Wu quickly called him: "Shu Yi!"

Yang Shuyi turned his head.

"You..." Shao Wu took two steps forward, his steaming body almost pressed against Yang Shuyi, "Can you blow it for me?"

Yang Shuyi looked at him and smiled: "Okay."

So Shao Wu sat on the sofa, and Yang Shuyi stood behind him, holding the hair dryer in one hand and blowing his hair with the other.

"Will it be too hot?" He asked Shao Wu.

"Just right."

"Ah."

Shao Wu closed his eyes and remained motionless, allowing Yang Shuyi's fingers to run through his hair, and sometimes his fingertips rubbed against his scalp, which was very itchy.

After a while, Yang Shuyi turned off the hair dryer: "Okay."

Shao Wu sat without moving, eyes still closed, and whispered, "Are you upset?"

The people behind were silent for a moment: "It's my problem..."

"You're fine."

"..."

"I don't need you to compare with others... don't compare anything, there is no comparison."

Yang Shuyi sighed: "I know, it's useless to compare."

"It's not a matter of being useful or not... Even if you are richer than that Zeng Chong, even if you are very rich, you don't have to compare with him."

"……why?"

"Because," Shao Wu turned around and met Yang Shuyi's eyes, "because you are the best to me."

Even if the most expensive shirt in your closet is only worth 500 yuan, you are the best.

"Hey," Yang Shuyi stroked Shao Wu's hair again, and then put his palm down on his cheek, "You too." He said.

Zeng Chong—what are Zeng Chong's gaudy gold bars and real estate certificates? Compared with what he gave up for Yang Shuyi, they are nothing worth mentioning.

In fact, he also thought about it later, if he had been more mature and smarter in those years, maybe he could have found a more flexible way to love Yang Shuyi, maybe he could save the country with curves, or step by step.If he could choose again, he would probably go to Beijing to study at university, at worst, he would go back to Chongqing once a month, or at worst, he would call Yang Shuyi every week—maybe he could find a way to get the best of both worlds.

He can lose less and gain better.

but.

But to this day he still has no regrets about those choices.If you choose, you choose. Although it is a pity, what he lost is not comparable to Yang Shuyi.

Well, even if, even if it is necessary to compare, and then come to a conclusion that "the gain is not worth the loss" - so what?How many things in this world are equal to each other?

After dinner, Yang Shuyi took a shower and sat at the desk in his pajamas.The computer was turned on, and on the screen were drawings that Shao Wu could not understand. He leaned forward slightly, staring at the screen intently.

Who would have thought that this person would sleep in a daze in every class during his sophomore year of high school.

That was 2007, 9 years ago.

Shao Wu sat behind Yang Shuyi, staring at him obsessively.What is also unexpected is that nine years later he still loves him, and is still willing to go over mountains and mountains for him, willing to be happy.

As if feeling Shao Wu's gaze, Yang Shuyi turned his head, and the two looked at each other.

When he laughed, Shao Wu's heart beat like a drum.

"I've finished reading this page," Yang Shuyi said, "It will be ready soon, and I will guide you to score later."

Shao Wu nodded.

After a while, he coughed again to cover up.

Yang Shuyi turned his head again: "Want to drink water?" After saying that, he was about to get up and pour water for him.

"Hey, don't drink." Shao Wu stretched out his hand and grabbed his sleeve.

"That……"

"You," Shao Wu said in a low voice with his head down, "do you want to try it tonight?"

Yang Shuyi: "What?"

"Try ours, yes," Shao Wu stumbled for nothing, "the oak bed..."

I feel like I'm writing so slowly - sorry, I'm a little busy these days.In fact, this year is very busy, and I have to prepare for various exams, so it is unlikely that I will update as much as when I wrote "Lv Weifu Upstairs" last year.However, this article will slowly end, and the relationship between the two is actually still warming up and changing.
