born to ashes

Josh's hand behind Wei Linze's back drooped, and he wrapped it around his waist, tightening it tightly.

Wei Linze tentatively let go, Josh raised his head and stared at Wei Linze for a long time, without saying anything, he tilted his head and leaned on his shoulder.

His eyes were right next to Wei Linze's shoulders, hot.

Wei Linze knelt straight on the bed, hugging Josh, shaking his hands in the air, and finally patted him on the back lightly, with a gentle rhythm.

Wei Linze woke up and glanced at his phone, startled, and only realized it was Saturday when he lifted the quilt to look for slippers.Only then did his brain begin to function.

This is Josh's room.

Josh is not there.

What happened last night?

He seemed to be humming a lullaby, patting Josh on the back along with the rhythm, and then... hypnotized himself?

Thinking of this, he suddenly felt pain all over his body. Looking at his arm, there were several red marks on it, and he could see that there were small blood scabs, and his back also had a burning pain, but it should not be as serious as his arm through his clothes.He peeled off his collar and looked at his shoulders. His teeth were fine, and he was bleeding from the bite.

He walked out of the door barefoot, startled by Josh who was sitting at the dining table.

Josh was drinking milk with a straw in his mouth, his eyes were fixed on the phone screen, and he pressed it for a while.There are fried dough sticks, tea eggs and tofu nao on the table. It looks like they were bought at the entrance of the community.

He stood there for a while, seeing that Josh was quite normal, he went straight to the table and sat down facing him.

Josh looked up and asked, "Drinking milk?"

Wei Linze shook his head, picked up a deep-fried dough stick, "It's rare to wake up so early?"

"Look at what time it is, you got up late." Josh put his phone on the table at once, "Fuck, I lost all morning."

Wei Linze looked at it, it was the backgammon interface, "You don't know why I got up late..."

He stopped abruptly and didn't continue talking.

Josh took another sip of milk, and there was a "snoring" sound from the straw. He shook the milk box and put it on the table.

"I'm sorry, I've been arguing with you for a few days since I came here."

After speaking, he smiled with his mouth crooked, Wei Linze didn't feel any embarrassment from him.

"If I had known that you had the ability to crow at midnight, I wouldn't have kept you even if I was expelled from the school."

"Can you talk, you, what is crowing, I am," he thought for a while, "the roar of a hungry wolf."

Wei Linze took a spoonful of tofu nao, glanced at the mobile phone on the table and said, "I'll play your game for a while."

Josh handed him the phone, "This is the hardest difficulty level for me."

Wei Linze didn't say a word, Zhi Heizi got off first, and got up back and forth with the computer.

Josh took another carton of milk from the refrigerator and opened it to drink. Wei Linze was playing chess with his brows frowned, and he played backgammon with the momentum of Go.

"Howling wild," Josh said suddenly, choking, "Wild wolf."

Wei Linze glanced at him, only to realize that he was answering the previous words, "Grandpa wolf?"

After finishing speaking, he put the phone in front of Josh, Josh glanced at it, and won.He freed up one hand and uninstalled the game, "It's boring, you just cleared the game."

"Hey, how can there be such a thing as playing chess?" Wei Linze said.

"That's what I say here, if you win once at a difficulty level, you will pass the level." Josh shook the milk box and poured the remaining milk to Er Gazi.

Wei Linze moved his arm, and the wound on his shoulder hurt a bit.

Josh squatted on the ground and teased Er Gazi for a while, but Er Gazi drooped his head listlessly and didn't want to talk to him. "I'll go downstairs and buy you some medicine." Josh said suddenly.

Wei Linze didn't react for a while, and said "ang."

"Are you still in pain?" Josh asked in a low voice.

"Ang." Wei Linze still didn't react, and continued to agree.

When he came back to his senses, Josh had already left the door.Er Gazi arched his head and let out a "wow".

Wei Linze sat there for a while, and suddenly didn't want to move.He was really scared last night. He has lived for more than 30 years and nearly [-] years, and he has never encountered anything that can scare people like that in the middle of the night.

Although it is not smooth sailing for him to grow up so big, it is normal for Kaner from childhood to adulthood, except that he has no money.He has no money to pay tuition, no money to buy books, no money to eat, and he is just a little more tired than ordinary children. If there is really any trouble, no.

Josh looks arrogant on the surface, but in fact, he is not sure how fragile he is.

Zhang Zhihe sat behind the counter and yawned towards the gate, opening his mouth and yawning happily, when Josh walked in.He opened his mouth and looked at Josh face to face for almost half a minute before closing his mouth contentedly.

"You can tell that you've been up all night just by looking at this." Josh found a place to sit down by himself, and looked at this yawning man with a sense of superiority that he had a normal routine.

"Your complexion is rosy and shiny, so I know that you have mold in your nest recently." Zhang Zhihe retorted.

"What do you know, I call it life, you really should feel it." Josh said.

"Being kicked out of your home and sleeping in someone else's study? I don't really want to experience such a life."

"My study is the deluxe version! It's worth two bedrooms." Josh rolled his eyes.

"No matter how luxurious it is, it's also a study." Zhang Zhihe said.

Josh was almost losing his temper by him. He wanted to swear a bad word but couldn't say it. I have to say that the environment really has a big effect on people. After staying in the university's family home for a long time, I really feel embarrassed to say bad words.

"Hey, get me some medicine for scratches and bites."

"Scratched?" Zhang Zhihe knocked on the counter a few times, "Didn't Er Gazi never get close to people? Why did you scratch people?"

Josh didn't speak, and Zhang Zhihe didn't take any medicine, he just walked out to look at the blood on Josh's arm and said, "You have to go to a regular hospital for vaccination, but it's not serious for you."

Josh twitched his arms and put them behind him, "It's not me, Wei Linze's is serious."

"Wei Linze? ​​Then he also needs to be vaccinated." Zhang Zhihe said.

"Not a cat either."

After Josh finished speaking, Zhang Zhihe stared at him for a long time before showing a strange expression, and it took a long time before he said, "You two... had a very intense game."

"Your fucking brain has been eaten away by bedbugs, you're full of obscene thoughts!" Sure enough, he couldn't say anything ugly, but it was because he wasn't forced into it.

After talking about this, Josh doesn't know how to explain the scratch, so it's better to let him understand it as pornographic content.

Zhang Zhihe put his hand on Josh's shoulder and said, "You..."

"You" didn't say the next thing for a long time.

"Get me some medicine too, what about that fluorine?" Josh brushed his hair back, "Oh, this hair is so annoying, it will be shaved sooner or later."

"Haloperidol." Zhang Zhihe went back to the cabin behind the counter without saying a word, and after searching for a while, he came out with a small bag, "Tell me what happened. I told you before, Strictly speaking, your condition is not a disease, but a concomitant clinical reaction, which cannot be cured, but it can be suppressed. Did you not take it to heart when I asked you to control your mentality?"

Josh laughed out loud, "It can't be my fault, it's not that I want to meet him."

"Who did you meet?" Zhang Zhihe asked.

"A...classmate at that time? Companion? Partner? Same..." Josh changed names several times without stopping.

"Why don't you just say that you have the party." Zhang Zhihe interrupted him.

"Comrade." Josh added a word, "Oh, that's fine, it's no big deal. I've taken some medicine and I've been fine for the past few days. I'm forgetful."

Zhang Zhihe handed him the medicine, but didn't answer.

Before leaving the house, he suddenly said, "If you need anything, please tell me as soon as possible."

Josh didn't look back, and waved to him with his back turned.

He himself knew that delirium was difficult to cure and had a high mortality rate, but he didn't want to meet Zhong An if there was any way, and he would look for someone else.

He wished that he would be more forgetful.

But he remembered clearly that he was being shocked by electric shocks, drooling, lying on the ground slurring his speech, just like a dog.

Even if he was listed in the prosperous age, everyone would call him a dirty bastard, at least he was much better than back then.

How can a man be a dog.

After returning home, Wei Linze was no longer in the living room.

Josh picked out his own medicine, and carried the rest to the door of Wei Linze's bedroom.Wei Linze didn't close the door, he looked inside, but there was no one there.

Just wondering where Wei Linze went, when he walked to the door of his bedroom, Josh stayed where he was.

Wei Linze sat in the room, and the big desk was filled with books and papers in a mess.He lowered his head and flipped through a few pages of the book, then pressed the paperweight on the page he was looking at, took the side of the paper and began to write.

Wei Linze doesn't choose a pen, he just uses whatever pen is on hand.Mr. Liu always picked on this point and said that he had no literati temperament. Wei Linze didn't dare to retaliate, but he couldn't help but reply a few words in his heart. This is what he called the informal literati temperament.

His eyes were on the bridge of his nose, which had slipped down because he lowered his head to write.He held the pen between his index finger and middle finger, pushed his glasses with the tip of the pen, then glanced at the book again, and began to write in a swish.

Josh stood at the door, too embarrassed to catch his breath.

When Wei Linze sat in front of the desk, he seemed to be able to still the air in a certain area around him, as if even the small dust particles illuminated by the sun did not dare to float around easily.Only the sound of slowly turning the pages of the book and the nib of the pen rubbing against the pages.

Everything slows down.

Josh walked back to the living room, sat on the sofa and turned on the phone, swiped it a few times, and turned it off again.

He stared at "Full Tang Poetry" on the coffee table for a long time, then picked it up.

After reading a few pages, my eyes were full of people's names and book titles, and my mind stumbled.He rubbed his eyes, he knew that he would have gone to the study to find a novel to read, what about the history of Tang poetry development.

Wei Linze didn't mention what happened that night again. When he came out of the study that day, he saw Josh sitting on the sofa in a daze, and said, "I'm sorry."

Josh shrank his neck, "Why are you sorry for me?"

"I planned to discuss it with you, because I often use the study, or..."

Before Wei Linze finished speaking, Josh waved his hand, "You can use it anytime, and you won't bother me."

I was going to say it was separated.

Afterwards, Wei Linze spent more time in the study room, and the open books and loose papers on the desk were never cleaned up.Almost home after class, Wei Linze was sitting at the desk flipping through books and writing.

When Wei Linze went out to class, Josh imitated him and sat at the desk for a long time, but he couldn't get out of the quiet atmosphere.

He glanced at the things on the table. They were all books about the study of "Dream of Red Mansions". The scattered papers seemed to be comments written by Wei Linze himself.It seems that Wei Linze is busy with this these days.

He looked around the bookshelves, and found that Wei Linze's books were of various types, covering all types.

Josh took out a novel, glanced at the desk, and finally went back to the living room, where he read it.

"brother".

It is easy to read novels with strong storytelling, and if you follow the plot, you will forget where you are before you know it. When Josh realized that he was Josh instead of Song Gang and Li Bald, he had already read a thick stack of pages.

Wei Linze loves to write notes in the blank space.

"Song Fanping is so perfect, with a charismatic personality."

"Song Gang has a really nice personality."

"Baldy Li has a really bad personality."

"Baldy Li and Song Gang, what are the two fighting over for Lin Hong? They can be together."

"Most readers are not satisfied with the emotional reminders in the book, which has led to the development of many literary derivatives, which is one of the reasons why many people love to rewrite classics. Therefore, if Baldy Li and Song I will definitely read Steel’s fanfiction.”

Josh grinned, Wei Linze was the only one who could make excuses for reading fanfiction from the perspective of literary history.

He turned on his phone and searched, not to mention, there are really fanfiction, I don't know if he read it or not.

I thought that the annotations of university teachers had to be "using a certain technique" and "a classic of modernism".

He found a pen and wrote on the side: the red armband is like a steel thorn.In an era when people are not responsible for killing people.

Before he had time to put down his pen, Wei Linze opened the door and saw Josh writing on the book with a pen.

He changed his shoes in a calm manner, walked to the edge of the sofa and took a look. Josh put down his pen embarrassedly, and muttered, "You said you told me to go look for a book in the house."

Just as he was about to close the book, Wei Linze blocked it with his hand.

Then squatted on the edge of the table, took a pen and filled in a few words next to Josh's comment: it was set on the ground white teeth.

Josh read it together: the red armbands are like steel spikes on worn white teeth.

"In the future, when you write notes on the book, change the color of the pen to distinguish our writing." After Wei Linze finished speaking, he looked at the writing on the book again, "Actually, it doesn't matter, our writing is different."

Josh was distracted, staring at Wei Linze's hand holding the pen.At first glance, it looks like the hand of a scholar. There is a small callus on the inside of the middle finger, which is left by writing too much with a pen. The joints are distinct, and it looks especially good when holding a pen.

"Your writing is better than mine." Wei Linze said again.

"what?"

"Praise you for your beautiful handwriting." Wei Linze smiled.

Josh's handwriting is really beautiful. He writes very lightly, and it looks like he has practiced soft pens.They all say that his handwriting is like a person, but Wei Linze doesn't think it's like that. Josh's handwriting is completely different from that of a man. His handwriting is plain and gentle, as if it was written by someone who only sits at a desk all year round to write and draw.

Josh licked the corner of his mouth and smiled triumphantly, "That's right, I'm sure I'll be able to do this kind of pretentious skill."

"Mr. Liu drives me to learn these skills every day, and I don't even bother to learn them." Wei Linze said.

"Why are you so proud of your tone?" Josh clasped his knuckles, "But I'm not willing to learn, I just...professional needs."

"It's fresh, it's the first time I've heard that cooks have to rely on calligraphy to pretend." Wei Linze squatted his feet numb, stood up and stretched his ankles.

"Our cooks usually play with knives, right?" Josh snatched the book over and made a gesture of continuing to read.

"Look, I'm going to work in the study."

Josh saw him enter the study, closed the book, and it was almost time to cook.

Before entering the kitchen, he scolded himself. Now he is more and more like a competent house husband. He reads books, drinks tea, and cooks all day long. The small life is quite enjoyable.

"Mom's mentally retarded didn't pursue it."

The author has something to say:

Sorry to say, the comments in this article are all written in my book.In fact, it's amazing to analyze my own comments by myself, and to boast a few words solemnly and implicitly, um, it's very amazing.
