Solitary

Lin Shu had been sleeping soundly, He Annian just took a nap, He Jiqing had already showered and changed and came back, he started chasing people after entering the ward: "You can go."

He Annian sighed: "It's really a good brother who crosses rivers and demolishes bridges, I won't be a light bulb anymore."

He got up and walked to the door, He Jiqing added: "Hurry up and go back to Nanjing!"

He Annian turned around and grinned: "They still have to go to Gulangyu Island, see the Tulou, and climb Wuyi Mountain!"

Seeing his humble face, He Jiqing waved him to leave quickly.

"I'm very happy to see you happy." After He Annian said sincerely, He Jiqing stared at him expressionlessly, which made him feel a little embarrassed, and quickly pulled the door away.

He Jiqing snorted: "Fool."

Lin Shu slept through the night, and when he woke up, he found He Jiqing lying in his arms, with him lying on his side and hugging him.He only turned his head, and He Jiqing woke up immediately, squinting his eyes and asked him, "Are you hungry?"

Lin Shu nodded.He Jiqing raised his hand to check the time, it was already nine o'clock in the evening.

"Be patient, the doctor said, you can eat after 24 hours." He stroked his hair soothingly, "Don't take medicine blindly next time."

"I thought you--"

"Why, you thought I didn't want you anymore?"

Lin Shumo fell silent.

"A little angry indeed!" He Jiqing poked his face.

"I'm sorry." Lin Shu said cautiously.

"But if you didn't have that stupid plan, you wouldn't have come to me, would you?"

Everything has two sides, from different angles, what you see will be different.He Jiqing had already seen through it.

Lin Shu turned sideways, and the two faced each other, and the heat of their breath was sprayed on each other's faces.He took the initiative to kiss He Jiqing: "It's nice to meet you."

A blessing cultivated in eight lifetimes.

"So you have to cherish me. There is no such shop after passing this village. Where can you find another one like me? Stop having those childish thoughts." He Jiqing bit the tip of his nose as punishment.

Lin Shu touched his face from forehead to chin: "You are so pretty!"

He Jiqing closed his eyes, enjoying his touch.

"Are you hungry?" Lin Shu stopped.

"It's okay." He Jiqing grabbed his hand and continued to touch it.

Lin Shu played with his face, rubbing it for a while, making all kinds of strange looks.

"I like uncle and aunt." Lin Shu pulled his mouth.

"Well, as long as you like it." He Jiqing's voice changed.

"I like your brother too." Lin Shu touched the tip of his nose.

"What does he like, what a fool." He Jiqing dismissed it.

"Your family is fine." Lin Shu pinched his face.

"Well, so-so." He Jiqing squinted his eyes and hummed.

"That's great." Lin Shu cupped his face and kissed him.

"Marry me?" He Jiqing bit his lip and said.

"Huh?" Lin Shu pushed him away and widened his eyes.

"Marry me." He Jiqing said again.

"How?" Lin Shu asked stupidly.

He Jiqing squeezed Xiao Linshu indecently: "One bow to heaven and earth, two bows to Gaotang and the husband and wife for the knot sent into the bridal chamber!"

Lin Shu blushed.He Jiqing stopped: "There are many places abroad where you can get married."

Lin Shu grabbed his hand, squeezed it again and again, and said, "Do you want to go to Dongshan to play?"

"When?" He Jiqing held his hand instead.

"After the film is finished?" Lin Shu looked hesitant.

"Can it be brought forward?" He Jiqing couldn't wait.

Lin Shu shook his head lightly: "It's better after the filming."

The worry in his eyes flashed, He Jiqing bit his lips, stuck the tip of his tongue in, and violently attacked the city.

"Don't be afraid." He bit Lin Shu's mouth and whispered.

At the beginning of September, the film was finished.

At the finale banquet, some people who had helped the crew were invited, including people from the Cultural Bureau, including Lin Shu's cousin.He Jiqing saw her first, and took the initiative to greet her, but her cousin was a little surprised, "Are you also on this set?"

"Well, screenwriter." He Jiqing didn't explain much.

The cousin was even more surprised, He Jiqing really didn't look like a screenwriter, the first time she saw him, she thought it was some celebrity.

"I'm going to Dongshan the day after tomorrow." He Jiqing mentioned it deliberately.

The cousin was surprised: "What are you going to do?"

He Jiqing smiled: "Lin Shu took me to take a look, after all, it's the place where he was born."

Cousin frowned: "I advise you not to go, Lin Shu had better not go back."

"why?"

The cousin sighed: "I'm afraid you will be beaten."

He Jiqing raised his eyebrows, that's what he wanted to hear.

The cousin came to her senses and looked him squarely: "If you have any questions, you can ask me."

"What is Lin Shu's family like?" he asked.

"The relationship between father and son has been severed." The cousin smiled bitterly.

He Jiqing's heart sank, and he hurriedly turned his head to glance at the table of the art group. Lin Shu was sitting with his back to them, chatting and joking with his colleagues.

"My ex-uncle remarried a long time ago, and I heard that she is pregnant with twins. Lin Shu probably didn't know about it yet." The cousin followed his gaze.

He Jiqing has mixed flavors.

"Lin Shu was locked up at home for more than three months." The cousin said again.

He Jiqing didn't know whether to be sad or angry.

"Then his car accident—" He looked at Lin Shu in the distance, and asked with difficulty.

As if sensing his gaze, Lin Shu suddenly turned her head and saw the two of them at a glance. After being slightly surprised, she got up and walked over.

"Leave a phone number." My cousin offered to say, and He Jiqing took down her phone number.

Lin Shu walked across the table and slowly approached.

"I have something for you." The cousin said again.

He Jiqing nodded.

"Don't go to Dongshan." The cousin reiterated again: "You must not go."

Lin Shu approached, and the two put on smiling faces.

"I still wonder when you will be able to see me!" My cousin said deliberately.

"You didn't even tell me when you came." Lin Shu was dissatisfied. Among so many brothers and sisters, only this cousin was willing to associate with him.

"I was called here temporarily." The cousin smiled.

He Jiqing hugged him: "I just saw her too, so come over to say hello."

Lin Shu has no doubts about him.

After saying hello, the cousin went back to her table and watched He Jiqing take Lin Shu away, not knowing what Lin Shu said, He Jiqing smiled and rubbed his head.

She kept looking at the two, and her colleagues asked her, "Who is that beautiful man?"

"My cousin's boyfriend." The cousin didn't hide it.

The young people among colleagues suddenly realized, showing envious expressions.The older one asked her tentatively: "Does your cousin's family agree?"

"It looks so good-looking, of course I agree." The cousin smiled.

He Jiqing had already returned to his table, and among the actors at the table, he still had an outstanding temperament.Lin Shu is really lucky, the cousin thought.

"I really think about it." The older colleagues smiled meaningfully.

The cousin smiled and said nothing.

The killing feast is over.

On the taxi home, He Jiqing said, "The director said, Dongshan's small tube sashimi this season is very sweet!"

After Lin Shu answered "um", he talked about the boss of the art group.

"The boss took a new job, a TV series, and asked me if I want to do it." He said.

"Take a break." He Jiqing said while pinching his thin wrist.

Lin Shu pouted: "I think so too."

"Shall we drive to Dongshan?" He Jiqing asked again.

Lin Shu drooped his eyelids, and replied vaguely: "It's all right."

He Jiqing sighed, Lin Shu turned his head and looked out the window, it was approaching the fifteenth day, and the moon was very round.

"You don't want to go back?" He Jiqing thought for a while before asking directly.

"No." Lin Shu lacked confidence.

"If you don't want to go back, then you won't go back." He Jiqing remembered his cousin's words.

"But—" Lin Shu panicked a little.

"My parents like you very much, that's enough." He Jiqing squeezed his hand distressedly.

"But--"

"I know, you want to introduce me to your family, you want them to like me, you want your family to see that you are doing well." He Jiqing fully understands Lin Shu, and wants to gain the approval of his family. It's instinct.He used to be the same way.

"But, you don't have confidence that they will like me. They are not like my parents," he added.

Lin Shu's eyes were sore after being hit by his words.The moon outside the window began to blur.

He Jiqing pulled him into his arms: "Over the past year, I have really wronged you."

Lin Shu buried in his arms, weeping silently.For more than a year, he has been in hell.

"We'll go back together when you're ready. I don't want you to force yourself to do sad things." He Jiqing said.

Lin Shu cried out, He Jiqing hugged him tightly.

In the end, the two did not go to Dongshan.

The crew still had some finishing work, and Lin Shu was called back by the boss to help.

While he was working, He Jiqing hurriedly made an appointment with his cousin.

The first thing my cousin asked when she sat down was, "You haven't gone to Dongshan yet, have you?"

"Not going." He Jiqing said.

"It's best not to go." The cousin took out a big book from her bag and handed it to him. The cover was wrapped with thick tape.

He Jiqing opened it, and the inside was also covered with tape.He stared at the first page for a long time before carefully turning down. He spent a long time looking at each page.

After reading it, he gently closed the book and stroked the cover.

"Why is this in your hand?" he asked.

This is Lin Shu's picture album, which is full of pictures of him, all kinds of him.It's just that every page of the painting was torn to pieces.

"I picked it up from the hospital trash can." My cousin said.

He Jiqing waited for her to continue.

"My aunt, Lin Shu's mother, was diagnosed with cancer in March last year and passed away in May. As soon as she left, Lin Shu came out of the closet and was beaten by his father and sent to the hospital."

"This was drawn by Lin Shu in the hospital. I heard that it was finished in three days. His father saw it and tore it up on the spot. I saw it and picked it up. It took half a month to put it together, thinking about other things It’s all over, give it back to him. I didn’t expect to give it to you.”

The first time my cousin saw He Jiqing was not in the hospital, but in this album.

"Thank you." He Jiqing was extremely grateful.

"Lin Shu looks well-behaved, but he is actually quite strong. He was beaten like that and locked up for three months without asking for mercy." My cousin sighed, "He is determined."

He Jiqing flipped through the album again, the first page was his full-body painting, and the bottom right corner said: "November 2017, 11, Nanjing." This was the first time the two met, because a lonely post by him happened to be Meet Lin Shu who is also lonely.

"What about the car accident, is it also related to his father?"

"It's not, it's an accident." Mentioning this, the cousin couldn't help sighing, "He sneaked out and packed a black car to Xiamen, but there was something wrong with the brakes of the car, and an accident happened halfway. The driver died, and he Almost died. It's all on the news!"

The scars on Lin Shu's body are enough to show that the car accident was tragic.Something was stuck in He Jiqing's throat, and he couldn't speak anymore.

The cousin saw that he was sad, so she didn't continue talking.

He Jiqing's cell phone rang, and it was Lin Shu who called: "Where are you? I'm done with work here, where should I have dinner?"

"I'm outside, what do you want to eat?" He Jiqing's voice was low.

Lin Shu heard something was wrong and asked, "What's wrong with you?"

He Jiqing coughed twice: "It's nothing, maybe I'm going to catch a cold."

The cousin picked up the coffee and smiled looking at the bustling street outside the window.

"Ah, it may be that the air conditioner blows too much. Then I need to take medicine when I go back. I have cold medicine." Lin Shu muttered on the phone.

He Jiqing responded patiently: "Okay, okay, take your medicine."

"I'm going back by subway, come back quickly, I'll wait for you to eat." Lin Shu sounded very happy today.

"Okay." He Jiqing cheered up.

"You don't have to be too sad. Fortunately, everything is over, and now you are together again, which is very good." The cousin waited for him to hang up the phone before saying.

"Yes, we need to look forward." He Jiqing smiled holding the album.
