next better

Many years later, Gu Yisheng still clearly remembers that night that his beating heart almost burst out of his chest, and he wanted to jump desperately into the hands of the smiling boy opposite him.

He never expected to be loved by others.

From a very young age, he knew that his parents didn't love him, and the childish and warm family of three that was often described in other people's compositions never existed in his life, so even at the beginning, Ye Ye repeatedly squeezed into him. He didn't respond directly to the good intentions from his side.

He believed that this kindness was just a whim, but he couldn't think of the reason. He resisted and doubted, and hid and hid, but he was still like the withered grass curled up in the shadow behind the boulder, finally exposed to the warm sunshine and stretched. It is so reluctant to part with the branches and leaves.

Gradually, he was so bold that he wanted to occupy this person.

Even so, he never dared to ask for the favor of the other party.

Until Ye Ye stood in the smoky night market, turned his back to the beautiful girl, stretched out his hand to himself, and said openly: "I like you."

Gu Yisheng's thinking and memory stopped at that moment.

He opened his eyes wide, only to hear his heart beating like a drum, beating again and again, wanting to shatter his body.

Gu Yisheng couldn't even understand those four words at that moment. He took the four words apart, reassembled them, and chewed them between his lips and teeth, but he still didn't understand their meaning.

He couldn't remember how Ye Ye explained to the girl, nor how they left the night market, or even when he got on the bus and left. He only remembered holding his hand and saying goodbye to Ye Ye. The light in the eyes is like twinkling stars: "See you on Monday."

Gu Yisheng walked on the road in a daze and confusion, every step seemed to be not on the ground.He opened the door with the key and looked at the dark living room.

Mom didn't come back tonight because of something, and the only light in sight was the white light refracted from the floor-to-ceiling windows of the living room, which made the air a bit unkind and cold.

He was still wrapped in the smoke and heat rising from the night market, so that he didn't want to enter this house for the first time.

Since Gu Yisheng could remember, he knew that his mother didn't like him.

She didn't like to look at him, talk to him, or hug him. Whenever he made a sound, she would be warned by her mother, but even the warning was cold, and it seemed that he could make a sound when he fell on the ground.

It's not that Gu Yisheng hasn't fought for it, but whether it's excellent grades or unsightly test papers, they won't get much reaction in front of his mother.

The only time she saw the reason for her indifference was when my mother went out to drink too much when she was in junior high school. When she came back and saw his face, she said with no concealment of hatred and anger: "Don't let me see your face."

Gu Yisheng, who reached out to help her, withdrew his hand in a daze.

Mom never beat him, scolded him, demanded of him, she just completely—ignored him.

The phone in his pocket buzzed.

He lowered his head and took out his phone, and saw the message horizontally in the center of the screen.

[Have a good dream. 】

The cold fluorescence of the mobile phone screen illuminated the outline of Gu Yisheng's face, and the corners of his lips, which were always straight and indifferent, bent as if the ice and snow had melted.

He clenched the phone tightly, as if he had a fire in his heart, roasting him so warmly that even the draft in the living room couldn't blow it out.

He thought he could indeed have a good dream.

Not necessarily Chen He.

He was just about to sit in the Internet cafe and prepare to have a good night's sleep when suddenly someone turned off one earphone. Chen He raised his eyes and saw the big waves coming from the reflection of the screen. He raised his eyebrows and pressed the earphone without looking back. A question: "Didn't you go to eat supper? Why did you come to me?"

Da Bo turned to look at Hei Changzhi, who just shrugged, and she turned back and said, "Do you know who we met at the night market?"

Chen He casually asked: "Who is it?"

"I met your good student today." Da Bolang leaned forward, with his arms on the back of the chair.

Chen He chuckled, he thought that the other party had gone home to rest obediently, but he didn't expect to play in a different place——Thinking of this, Chen He became a little unhappy again, thinking that since he was transferred Playing alone, how do you know to put yourself aside.

Da Bolang watched the person's expression change from sunny to rainy, and then turned his head to look at Hei Changzhi who had already sat down and turned on the phone. The latter noticed her gaze and shrugged: "You can say it if you want, anyway, there are not many event."

"Isn't that big enough?" Da Bolang muttered.

Hei Changzhi smiled nonchalantly, stopped answering, and quickly entered the password to play the game.

Chen He listened to the two women baffled by each other, and asked casually while returning to the city: "What are you talking about?"

"Did you know that good student likes men?" Da Bo subconsciously lowered his voice.

Chen He paused when he pressed the mouse.

Quickly realized something, reached out and took off the earphones, looked sideways: "How do you know?"

Da Bo was taken aback: "You already knew this?"

Hei Changzhi also turned his head and said, "Brother He, you are not being kind, if you know, tell me earlier, I will not go to ask him out, and in the end, you are very rude to his little boyfriend." .”

"Little boyfriend?" Chen He repeated with a strange expression, "Does he have a boyfriend?"

Hei Changzhi thought for a while: "To be precise, it doesn't count, that good student still said he was chasing someone."

Rationally, Chen He knew that this had nothing to do with him, but he couldn't help asking again and again: "...what does it look like?"

"Long bangs, black-rimmed glasses, looking so weak, so gloomy."

The moment the second word appeared, Chen He guessed a person almost immediately, but the result was so weird and unbelievable that he subconsciously wanted to deny it.

Gu Yisheng?

Just Gu Yisheng?

Chen He was almost annoyed, he thought Ye Chenyang's vision was really bad, no matter if he was a man or a woman, he was not a good guy.

He thought of the haloed corners of the boy's eyes when he looked up at him standing in the dark with a cigarette in his hand, like broken stars piled up in the corners of his eyes.

Is Gu Yisheng worthy of him?

Chen He was so angry that he felt tight in his chest and short of breath.

On the other side, An Erya is also doomed to toss and turn.

Wen Yuan came back after Ye Ye and the tall, thin man with a fierce face left. She didn't look very well, obviously she was taught a lesson by the manager of the bar.

She walked back in a hurry on high heels, only to find that there was only An Erya left in the huge box. She was sitting on the sofa with her head down, and the lights above her head were flickering colorfully. .

Wen Yuan sighed, walked to her side lightly, stretched out her hand to gently hold her shoulder: "Aya, have they left?"

An Erya nodded in a small arc.

Wen Yuan sighed and sat down, stretched out her hand and hugged the little girl in her arms: "Then wait for me, I'll go back together after get off work, okay? Let me order you a glass of orange juice first?"

An Erya grasped Wen Yuan's blouse tightly, her eyes were warmed by the warm body temperature, she choked up and said, "Yuanyuan, is it impossible for him to like me at all."

Wen Yuan was silent for a moment, but the tall, thin boy who was full of heat and anger in the evening appeared in her mind, and she quickly recovered and stroked An Erya's hair: "Good boy, he just didn't find you beautiful. I Teach you how to dress yourself, and he will fall in love with you!"

An Erya sniffled, and finally nodded.

If Ye Ye heard this conversation, he might poke out angrily.Because in the original plot, An Erya went to ask Wen Yuan for advice just because she wanted to become more pleasing to Chen He, and thus she had a series of youths such as being drugged in a bar, raped by passers-by, pregnant, and aborted. essential elements of literature.

It's a pity that Ye Ye took it for granted that he didn't know at the moment.

He has no psychological burden on whether Gu Yisheng and Chen He can sleep well, and he is completely unaware that An Erya still follows the original plot after going around in circles.Ye Ye leisurely entrusted his body to the system to let him do his homework, while he dived into the depths of his consciousness and slept peacefully.

-

In the early morning of Monday, it rained thinly, and there was a mist between the sky and the earth.

Ye Ye got up early and yawned, pulled the zipper of the school uniform to the top, and went out with the original owner's classic straight male blue check umbrella.

He stepped on the concrete road with potholes and water everywhere, and he didn't forget to go to the breakfast stall to buy pearl meatballs and tea eggs for Chen He, and then got on the wobbly bus, betting with the system that he would see you on the first day after the confession. How would Gu Yisheng react?

The system is conservatively estimated: [Maybe he will not change for the time being. 】

Ye Ye boldly guessed: "Not necessarily, people who are silent are always more flirtatious than you think."

The system hesitated: [For example? 】

The bus was about to arrive at the stop, Ye Ye stood up from his seat, said "excuse me, excuse me" all the way and squeezed to the back door, standing in the crowd of morning rush hour, suddenly saw the figure on the platform through the door.

Ye Ye froze for a moment, then laughed loudly and said, "For example, they will pick me up for class."

As soon as the car door opened, Ye Ye couldn't wait to run down, and didn't care about hiding from the puddles of water, so he threw himself under Gu Yisheng's umbrella without even holding an umbrella.

Then he raised his head, smiling brighter than a sunflower: "Gu Yisheng, are you waiting for me?"

Gu Yisheng was taken aback, and when he heard this sentence for a moment, the tips of his ears turned red uncontrollably.

"..." He opened his mouth to say something, but because of his usual temperament, he didn't know what to say, so he just pursed his lips, turned around and left.

He just wanted to pretend to pass by by chance, and when Ye Ye came down, maybe he would run to him when he saw him, and they could walk into the class together.

It became like this only because——

Gu Yisheng looked down at him calmly, saw the wet water marks on Ye Ye's ears who followed him very naturally, and suddenly wanted to stretch out his hands to twiddle and grope carefully.

——Because I wanted to see him sooner.
