next better

When Ye Ye woke up from his sleep, the sun had not yet risen, and the surroundings were silent, only the faint chirping of birds chirping outside the window. He lay on the pillow and stared at it, thinking it was too early, and wanted to continue. After returning to sleep, the consciousness gradually woke up after closing the eyes, so he had to resign himself to his fate and get up from the bed, sitting on the edge of the bed and looking down at Huo Kele who was sleeping on the ground.

A few hours later, after the end credits and subtitles of the movie were rolled out together with the sponsors, the conversation between the two about "will we meet again in the future" has come to an end, and Ye Ye asked Huo Kele to take a bath first , I opened the refrigerator in the apartment again, thinking about whether to make a late-night snack——then lived up to expectations and found that there were really only two eggs left in Huo Kele's refrigerator, and the only thing left was beer.

Ye Ye was silent for a moment, thinking in his heart that it was no wonder he was so thin, so he could only let it go and sit back on the sofa and wait in line to take a bath.When he came out of the bathroom again, Huo Kele was already lying on the laid floor, and smiled and said to him: "The bed is for you to sleep on."

Ye Ye didn't expect that.

After all, with the current relationship between the two of them, sleeping on the same bed is not too much. Even when Ye Ye was taking a bath, he thought seriously about whether he should have a happy breakup with Coke, or not hug each other tenderly. Sleep is also possible.

... Now it seems that Huo Kele doesn't want to.

Ye Ye was inevitably a little bit regretful, but he wisely didn't say anything. With his wet hair on his head, he looked around the room looking for a hair dryer to dry his hair. In the white towel draped over his shoulders.Huo Kele looked at it for a while, but he couldn't resist the habit he had developed in the past ten years. He got up and reached for the hair dryer, and sat behind Ye Ye to dry him.

The two of them were close together, with still wet vapor on their bodies, and the same fragrance of shower gel intertwined together, as if going back to the past, when Huo Kele was only 25 and six, full of teenage thoughts, in the hotel arranged by the crew For the first time, he carefully picked up his sweetheart's wet hair.

And now, probably the last time.

Thinking of this, Huo Kele's hand holding the end of his hair tightened slightly.

He knew that Brother Ye wouldn't like him to stalk him, and he really wanted to be calm enough, but in the end it was the bitterness that filled his eyes, and under his pretending calm appearance, it almost rushed up his throat and came out of his mouth. He vomited in the middle, so that he could calm down until his cruel lover had a look at how his heart was riddled with holes.

But Huo Kele didn't say anything after all, but in a corner that Ye Ye couldn't see, on the end of the dry hair, he dropped a small kiss.

Ye Ye seemed to sense something, turned around to look, only in time to see the man with long hands and long legs standing up from behind, the tall and thin man was dragged into a long shadow under the lamp, and said softly: "Ye Ye Brother, blow dry."

There is nothing to talk about after that, they washed one after the other, Ye Ye changed into pajamas of the right size - it should be what Huo Kele originally prepared for the "future" - on the bed and under the bed Each had a good night's sleep.

Ye Ye lowered his head to look at Huo Kele at his feet under the hazy skylight shining in from the window, his thin and shallow eyelids were slightly swollen at this moment, and there were still dry water marks on his face, which reflected on his face like a scorching sun Down the barren river, and finally disappeared on the pillow.

...or maybe I'm the only one who actually got a good night's sleep.

Ye Ye sighed silently, slipped off the bed, squatted on the edge of the quilt, reached out and poked Huo Kele's slightly frowning brows evenly in his dream, and reached out to touch his pillow.

Same as before, Huo Kele always used to put the mobile phone next to the pillow, Ye Ye propped himself up and pulled it casually twice before flipping it out.

The mobile phone is still the one that Huo Kele used before he left. When Ye Ye turned on the screen, he could still see that the photo he took back then was used as a wallpaper. In the photo, the young and energetic Huo Kele smiled heartily at the camera. The background is an endless sea and blue sky, which is extremely clear.

Ye Ye and Huo Kele in the photo looked at each other for two seconds, then couldn't help showing a smile, then swiped to the password interface familiarly, and entered their anniversary together according to Huo Kele's habit.

The screen of the mobile phone flickers slightly: the password is wrong.

Ye Ye: "...?"

Ye Ye remained suspicious for two seconds, and entered Huo Kele's birthday.

wrong password.

Ye Ye entered his birthday again.

wrong password.

Ye Ye: "..."

how?

In fact, Huo Kele has already had a second spring?

Ye Ye was silent for two seconds, and entered Lu Heng's birthday in a panic.

If the password is wrong, the screen will be locked for 1 minute.

Ye Ye breathed a sigh of relief.

He hesitated to speak while clutching his phone while looking at Huo Kele's sleeping face and fell into thought. After that minute passed, he successively tried questions such as "the date when the two met for the first time", "the date of Huo Kele's first confession". "Date", "the date when the two of you did the first happy exercise" and so on, finally belatedly remembered something.

Ye Ye entered Ye Yuqiu's death date.

After the phone froze slightly, it entered the main interface. The man with clear eyebrows on the wallpaper was smiling, as if looking at Ye Ye through the screen, time and the world.

One thing to say, Ye Ye felt that it was unnecessary.

I also want to know that Huo Kele used this date as a password, which is mostly a sign of self-punishment, but no matter whether it is Ye Yuqiu who once loved him wholeheartedly, or Ye Ye who has always abandoned him now, he does not need to use it. This way to honor yourself.

If you have to say it, Ye Ye would rather hope that Huo Kele can suddenly lose his memory like Teacher Xiao Gu and get out of the sea of ​​suffering... But it's just nonsense to say these things now, Ye Ye can't just give Huo Kele a stick. , can only cancel Huo Kele's screensaver password directly, and then go to the WeChat interface to send a message to Lu Heng.

As he was about to leave, Ye Ye originally wanted to explain a lot of things in his heart, but when it really fell under his finger, he felt that it was too redundant, so he deleted and subtracted, and finally just said in the dialog box Huo Kele's mood in the past two days Not good, I hope the other party will come and take care of it, and if I have time, I will take the other party to the supermarket to buy and fill the refrigerator.

He didn't sign it, and after sending it over, he turned off the phone and put it back on Huo Kele's pillow, then quietly packed up the clothes he changed yesterday and left the room.

Before closing the door, Ye Ye took one last look at Huo Kele's sleeping profile in the dim light, and said in a breathy voice:

"I'm leaving."

-

At [-]:[-], Lu Heng woke up from his dream on time. His many years of social life has long allowed him to develop a fairly regular biological clock. He is afraid that something will happen to his artists if he wakes up too late. A hard-working self-media person.

Lu Heng staggered up on the big bed in the hotel that was so soft that his back hurt. He touched the head of the bed and put on his glasses, but at the same time he quickly remembered the current situation.

It can be learned from the sky, he originally lived with Huo Kele in a rented apartment, and he was even prepared to wait for Ye Ye to guard her mother for 100 years with Huo Kele, and Huo Kele directly connected to her in the next second. The man took the bag and invited him out and said that if someone was coming, it would be too embarrassing if he was in the scene.

Lu Heng:?

On a cold, windy and rainy night, Lu Heng stood on the street with big bags and small bags, and secretly swore in his heart that if he helped Huo Kele any more in his life, he would be a dog.

Then he saw the WeChat message on his mobile phone when he was sober. The sender was Huo Kele, but the content was obviously from another person. Do something so allow yourself to stalk.

After Ye Qingqiu's accidental death, Huo Kele tried to commit suicide several times. Lu Heng was covered in cold sweat and rushed to the scene barking all the way. He saw Huo Kele sitting on the sofa with his back to him, holding a piece of paper. He hung his head and didn't know what he was thinking.

Lu Heng paused, and the man sitting on the sofa looked up, and then showed the ugliest smile since his debut, tears fell silently from his eyes, and he said to Lu Heng: "Brother, he really gone."

When the ending sound fell, he suddenly sobbed loudly, like a puppy that had been abandoned again, and there was a mournful cry in his cry.

Lu Heng didn't know why, but he still moved up quickly, patted Huo Kele's shoulder skillfully, and casually took the note that was about to be soaked in tears, and saw a line of familiar Junxiu horizontally on the paper. Most of the font has been wet with tears.

[Eat well, there will be no date later. 】

Lu Heng frowned and looked at it for a moment, and suddenly remembered where the familiar word came from... He had seen this word in different places, on the post-it note on the mirror in Huo Kele's dressing room, on the lunch box On the box surface, on the opening poster of the fashion show—he suddenly remembered the funny expression of the young boy who hesitated to speak when he saw himself pretending to be his uncle, and Huo Kele's eyes suddenly lit up when he saw him— It seemed that there was a certain absurd guess on his lips, but in the end it was swallowed by Lu Heng in surprise.

"Don't cry." He didn't dare to tell the possible truth, so he could only take the tissue on the coffee table to cover Huo Kele's wet face, looked at him silently for a while, and finally persuaded softly, ". ..I'll take you to do some shopping and fill up the fridge."

-

Qin Yu never thought that he would like to mention a dream lover on the second day when he came to City A, let alone that he would disappear from the world after facing the dream lover and playing with him all night , can still maintain a considerable degree of enthusiasm for him, and even waited obediently in the hotel for two days——

Of course, one of the reasons for being able to bear his temper is probably because he saw that thin and tall "ex-boyfriend" when he went out to eat, and his face was pale because he couldn't find anyone, which made him feel a kind of "miserable" It’s still his misery” sympathy, and then invited the other party to have dinner together.

Although in the end, the man who covered him tightly shook his head and refused.

Qin Yu didn't feel embarrassed, and nodded with a smile to express his understanding, and was about to lift his legs to leave, when he heard the man call out to him and said: "If you see him...you can call this number. "

Qin Yu reached out to take the business card from the other party with an innocent face, and waited until the person left before lowering his eyebrows to look at the words printed squarely on it, and raised his eyebrows when he saw [Star Manager Lu Heng] and smiled, I thought in my heart that I was worthy of Ye Ye's overly beautiful and bright face - until a long time later, when Ye Ye, who was rolling around on the bed with him all day, accidentally took out this business card from his wallet. Only then did Qin Yu realize that it was not Lu Heng who handed him his business card at that time, and Qin Yu was so shocked that he shouted that he had earned it.

But this is all for later.

On the night when he received the business card, he reconnected with Ye Ye and made an appointment to meet at five o'clock the next evening.

So from three o'clock the next day, Qin Yu took out the clothes in the suitcase one by one, spent more than half an hour carefully matching them and selecting them carefully, and then called the room service to iron the clothes, while he himself I went to the bathroom to take a shower and dry my hair. When it was nearly four o'clock, I was already well-groomed, and even the curled ends of my hair smelled of the fragrance of the essential oils I just bought.

After finishing the basic shape, Qin Yu sat on the hotel bed again, and based on his previous dating experience, he put small things such as tissues and earplugs in his satchel, and finally went out on time at [-]:[-] as planned and took a taxi to the music The square in front of the hall.

He is a veteran in the field of love, so he naturally knows that arriving early on a date is a must-have for a scumbag. Considering that this time the kid has the same taste as him, he even went out a little earlier, thinking that he can go to the nearest square when he arrives at the square. I ordered two cups of milk tea from the milk tea shop on the bus, but when I got out of the car, I saw a young boy sitting on the steps with his chin propped up from a distance.

Qin Yu froze for a moment, and saw that the other party's gaze focused on him in an instant, that beautiful, gorgeous face that was just stepping on his own aesthetics suddenly burst into a bright smile, and held it up high. The bag in his hand called him in a clear voice: "Qin Yu——"

Qin Yu raised his eyes subconsciously, and saw two cups of milk tea dangling inside. He couldn't help but smiled and greeted him. Before he could open his mouth tenderly, he heard the other party quickly answer: "Help!" I went to the nearby milk tea shop to settle the bill."

Qin Yu: "?"

Ye Ye: "I don't have any money with me, so I can't pay."

Qin Yu: "..." He looked down at the two cups of milk tea in the boy's hand again, and silently began to take out his mobile phone, "...The store actually agreed to let you pay on credit."

Ye Ye followed beside him, showing a warm and shy smile to the little waitress who was lying on the window looking over, and answered questions: "I told them that today is my first date, and I want to give a date to the boy." Make a good impression on a friend."

Qin Yu paid the money calmly and faced the waiter's ambiguous gaze, and turned around, not forgetting to tease him: "Is it a good impression to ask your boyfriend to pay?"

Ye Ye handed over the milk tea with the straw inserted, smiling with a pair of peach blossom eyes, and what he said was obviously unreasonable, but Qin Yu only thought that the other party was cute.

"If you borrow it and don't pay it back, you will remember me."

Qin Yu laughed.

There was still about half an hour before the opening of the concert, and the two of them were afraid that they might not be able to chat casually after entering the venue, so they simply walked around the square in the shadow of the setting sun and chatted in circles, the warm yellow afterglow covered the ground, making Qin Yu It suddenly occurred to me that when I had no money in high school, I often walked aimlessly on the playground with the boys I liked.

At that time, he was still young, the playground was silent, and the trees were full of shadows. He was so excited that his hands were sweating, and he moved his fingers again and again but still didn't dare to do anything. , the boy beside him naturally and affectionately came up and grabbed his wrist, the warm palm pressed against the wrist bone, which made his heart melt.

Qin Yu thought with emotion, what need is the 36 tricks of repaying the money or not, I like the other party just by looking at it.

5 minutes before the opening of the concert, the two stepped into the hall, the surrounding lights dimmed, and only the faint blue stage lights on the stage were left waiting for the curtain to be pulled up. They held the tickets and sat down , Ye Ye's hand was still on Qin Yu's wrist, Qin Yu simply took it into the palm of his hand, pressed it, and felt the two thin calluses under his middle finger and ring finger.

Qin Yu suddenly remembered something, and took advantage of the gap before the opening to whisper in Ye Ye's ear and asked, "Your ex-boyfriend came to see me two days ago."

Ye Ye blinked vigilantly, and asked in an airy tone, "Which one?"

Qin Yu didn't think there was anything wrong with this answer and said, "It's the one who came to cook for you last time."

Ye Ye said "Oh", and then laughed: "It's okay." He said with a smile, "There will be no more in the future."

Qin Yu raised his eyebrows and was a little surprised. Before he could say "Looking at the other party's appearance last time, it doesn't seem like he can let go easily", he heard the boy briskly say: "...I only have you now gone."

Qin Yu was moved.

I don't know how many times.

And quickly began to regret that he chose to listen to this kind of concert with a large audience instead of that kind of couple's box. Now he wants to break the other's face and kiss him.

It's a pity that there were too many spectators, and even a middle-aged woman sitting in the back row cast dissatisfied glances at the conversation between the two of them. Qin Yu could only sit in his seat silently, and then grabbed Ye Ye's hand and kissed him The opponent's knuckles curled up, and the opponent's fingertips scratched his chin.

Qin Yu really loved this kind of tacit love to death.

He didn't even need to make any foreshadowing or tactful words of love. He only needed to give him a look, and he could see the ambiguous affection rolled up at the end of the boy's eyes, like a delicate spring flower, just waiting to be picked.

He likes Ye Ye's face, likes his nonsensical nonsense, likes his laziness that he can't wake up in the morning, and his tight back and straight calves under the dim light.

Almost all the time, Ye Ye and Qin Yu fit together perfectly. Their interests and hobbies are almost completely congenial. They can go to high-end restaurants to sit and eat French food together, they can squat on the side of the road drinking beer together, and they can lie crookedly. Sleeping on the bed until the sky is bright, you can get up early to catch the first rays of the sun rising in the daytime.

Then I don't know which day it was, it seemed to be a rainy noon, Ye Ye propped his chin and watched the drizzle under the eaves for a while, and suddenly said with great interest: "Qin Yu, let's play in another city."

Qin Yu looked up and asked, "Where are you going?"

"Rent a car and go all the way north, maybe you can catch the first snow in the north."

Qin Yu thought about it and thought it was romantic, so he packed his luggage the next day, took Ye Ye back to the dormitory to pack his belongings when no one was around, and drove north as soon as he said he wanted to.

Occasionally they stopped in a town by the side of the street, and Ye Ye took out the guitar he brought out from the dormitory and sat on the side of the road to play and sing. The guitar bag was opened and spread out in front of him, with Qin Yu's Alipay and WeChat QR code on it.And Qin Yu, who can't play the guitar and is not good at singing, sat cross-legged and looked at him with his chin propped up, his eyes were full of affection, twinkling like stars.

The two of them were good-looking, and the boy who played the guitar had a good voice, and sang love songs softly, so there were always attracted young girls who scanned the QR code to give money, and asked them if they had any difficulties after closing the stall.

The boy with a pair of peach blossom eyes heard the words and said: "No, the main thing is to please my boyfriend, and see if I can chip in to pay for the food."

The curly-haired young man couldn't stop laughing: "I mainly want to see him sing love songs to me in front of you."

So the two walked all the way and stopped all the way, driving without a plan for more than a month, and finally reached the north when the first snow fell.

It’s dry and cold in the north, and the wind always hurts our faces when we’re outdoors. We couldn’t play the guitar anymore, so the two simply rented a one-bedroom apartment nearby and lived there. On the ground, when the street lights shined at night, it was extremely weird, and it was leveled by the property the next day.

Qin Yu was so depressed that she didn't sleep well for three days.

Then he was cured by Ye Ye's delicious fish soup.

The cooking method of fish soup was learned from Zhou Zhouyi, and Ye Ye cooked it for Xinhuan without any psychological burden, and got the soufflé that the other party also learned from a former professional pastry chef the next day.

A scumbag who has experienced many battles is good, and he is first-rate in observing each other's words and deeds. The trees planted by the predecessors are the shades of the future generations.

The days were so lazy, another month passed happily, and then on a certain sleeping night, Ye Ye saw in his dream an acquaintance whom he hadn't seen for a long time.

"Mr. Ye." The dispatcher stood in his dream and greeted him politely, "Long time no see."

Ye Ye stared at the other party for two seconds, and suddenly realized: "The formalities have been completed?"

"Yes, sorry for the delay, something happened in the bureau before."

Ye Ye didn't take it seriously: "It's okay, I'm having a good time."

The dispatcher showed a kind smile: "I guess so, after all, because of your outstanding performance, the Bureau seems to have given you some special benefits."

Ye Ye: "..."

Ye Ye unexpectedly remembered the days when he was chased and intercepted by several ex-boyfriends.

Ye Ye: "Your benefits are quite lively."

The dispatcher pretended not to understand: "Thank you." He looked down at the watch on his wrist, then looked up again and said, "Time is limited, let's make a long story short, probably tomorrow afternoon, you will be able to leave this world. "

Ye Ye blinked: "Then this world..."

"It's just been suspended." The dispatcher said empathetically, "This is just a small world created just for you. If you're not around, there's no need to keep it running."

Ye Yechi asked: "Then the people inside..."

"If you are worried about the previous raiders..." the dispatcher explained, "you can rest assured that they are just 'copied' from the original world, and pausing the world will not have any effect on them."

Ye Ye thought for a while: "Where's Qin Yu?"

The dispatcher's eyes blinked, and Ye Ye seemed to vaguely saw some thin code passing by those black-brown pupils, and then disappeared in an instant.

"Qin Yu was copied from your real world."

The implication is that in Ye Ye's real sophomore year, a photographer named Qin Yu really stayed in room 306 of that hotel.

It's just that Ye Ye, who was really at the other end of the timeline, didn't have any chance to appear in room 305 next door on the same day.

Ye Ye couldn't help but sigh.

The dispatcher looked at his expression and asked, "What's wrong with him?"

"It's nothing." Ye Ye smiled, "I just thought he might be from a small world that I haven't been to... Maybe I will meet again in the future. It's a pity."

He didn't say much, and waved to the dispatcher: "I see, let's leave tomorrow afternoon."

-

It was almost noon when Qin Yu woke up the next day, the sky was bright outside the window, and the white snow was reflected, so white that his eyes were blinded. He slept for so long that he was dizzy and yawned. There was a smell of hot food wafting from the room.

He followed the smell and walked over, and saw the boy standing in the kitchen cooking. The two of them bought pink aprons because of their bad taste and tied them around their waists, creating a thin and thin line.

Qin Yu walked to the side and skillfully picked up the bowls and chopsticks, and asked, "Are you so motivated today?"

Ye Ye drove him out with a shovel, and scolded with a smile: "It's not that you have said openly and secretly that you want to eat the food I cooked for several days."

"That's because the takeaway is not as delicious as yours." Qin Yu replied with a smile, took advantage of the gap to avoid and kissed the corner of the other's mouth, and was kicked away again.

"Go brush your teeth!"

This lunch was really rich, even if Qin Yu wanted to eat it clean, he couldn't do it, so he had to taste every dish with rain and dew.

After the meal, Qin Yu diligently washed the dishes as usual, but when he turned off the water and turned around, he saw Ye Ye, who should usually be rolling on the sofa at this time, standing crookedly at the door looking at him.

Qin Yu looked at him for a moment, and then understood what was happening: "Are you going to separate from me?"

Ye Ye said, "Yes."

Qin Yu wrinkled the tip of his nose, and quickly relieved: "It's a little faster than I thought, I thought at least it would be the beginning of spring."

Ye Ye nodded approvingly: "I think so too."

Qin Yu wiped the water stains on his hands: "Then why did you change your mind?"

Ye Ye thought about it seriously, and then said an incoherent nonsense: "Maybe it's too cold in winter."

Qin Yu laughed, he held Ye Ye's face with his cool hands, his affectionate and hazy eyes were hidden under the black curly bangs, and asked softly: "Then can we sleep together?" ?”

Ye Ye let out a "wow", reached out and hugged his waist, and said with a smile, "Of course."

Ye Ye really likes Qin Yu, and before he meets someone who suits his taste better, Ye Ye doesn't hesitate to spend more time with him.

Compatibility is always rare.

But compared to the foreseeable and more interesting identities and newcomers in the future, Qin Yu is really not worth mentioning.

At a certain second at 03:30 in the afternoon, Ye Ye felt that the time of this world had paused. He sat on the edge of the bed and slowly put on his clothes and shoes.

"I'm ready, can I go to the new world now?"

The author has something to say: finally.Finally, finally, I finished the extra episode in time for June [-]st.

This article is really over here.This extra episode started as a whim of bad taste, and finally ended up being a self-torture of crazy logic and human design (?)

Thanks to the readers who have been reading this and did not scold me (?), even though I wrote bugs everywhere and delayed updates, they still maintained a lot of love and patience for me.

I hope from the bottom of my heart that one day in the future we can meet again in the vast sea of ​​books.

Ye Ye loves you all.
