the world in which he exists

The car stopped at the entrance of the community, and Gu Chaoming set foot on the familiar land, habitually looking towards the canteen next to the corridor.

The light in the canteen is on, and the mahjong game is not over yet.The sound of mahjong collision, shuffling, and operation of the mahjong table can still be heard.Gu Chaoming walked ahead and glanced back at Gu Tao. Gu Tao touched his hand, obviously wanting to play cards again.

Gu Chaoming didn't tell the truth, so he walked upstairs quickly, deliberately giving him time. Unexpectedly, Gu Tao didn't go straight to the mahjong parlor, but followed him upstairs.

The dilapidated corridors, the small advertisements on the wall, the empty handrails, everything seems to have not changed, only the people have changed.

Gu Chaoming didn't have a key, so he stopped in front of the door, and Gu Tao took out the key from his waist to open the door.The key on Gu Tao's waist is the one that Gu Chaoming didn't take away, and Gu Tao lost his own key.

Gu Tao didn't go directly to play mahjong, but went upstairs to open the door for him because there was only one key.

Gu Tao hesitated whether to give it to him, and was afraid that Gu Chaoming would not let him in if he had the key, so he simply went upstairs to open the door for him before going down to play cards.

The feel of the mahjong tiles attracted him, and he wished he could touch it now.Gu Tao opened the door for him and left a sentence "I don't have the key, you can figure it out yourself" and hurried downstairs.

I didn't even have time to turn on the lights, and the house was completely dark.

Gu Chaoming was not in a hurry to go in, but stood on the edge of the gray balcony and looked down. After waiting for a while, he watched Gu Tao run out of the corridor and into the lighted mahjong parlor.

I really can't change my temper, Gu Chaoming felt that he was right not to have expectations.

Without the key, the door cannot be closed when you come out. Gu Chaoming stood in front of the door blankly, looking at the darkness inside the door expressionlessly.With the light of the sensor lights in the corridor, you can vaguely see the furnishings inside.

There was light above his head, but Gu Chaoming only felt that the darkness in the house was like a black hole, once he was sucked in, he could never come out again.

The black hole rotates, and the door opened by Gu Tao may be Doraemon's arbitrary door, but it is Gu Tao's version with a single function, which can only take him back to that hell.

Gu Chaoming stood in front of the door for a long time with the dessert in his hand, surrounded by familiar auras, and he knew where the small advertisement for changing gas was printed on the wall.He knows where all the tables and chairs in the house are placed, and he won't stumble his feet when he walks in without turning on the light.

Too familiar, everything, terribly familiar.

Gu Chaoming stood in front of the door and never took that step. He fled from here and came back here again. It was like a reincarnation, and he was destined to never escape.

Gu Chaoming stood quietly like a statue.He stared at the spinning black hole behind the door that was sucking him in.The sensor light above the head died out because there was no sound, and now it was complete darkness, total darkness.

Gu Chaoming originally comforted himself by staying here for a few days and escaping as Su Bing said in a few days, but he also knew that he was lying to himself.Gu Tao will do what he says, and Gu Tao will come to the school to find him. As long as he is found by Gu Tao, he will never escape Gu Tao's clutches.

He thought his courage was enough to support him to face Gu Tao, to face this broken home, but he thought too highly of himself, and now he dared not even enter this door.

With curled fingers, she tightened the bag of the pink dessert box. The screeching sound of the plastic bag being pulled was not enough to light up the sensor light on her head.

In the darkness, the open door said to him, "Come back, child."

This voice lingered in his ears, and Gu Chaoming tried his best to get it out of his mind.

The mobile phone in the pocket vibrated, and the light from the screen of the mobile phone penetrated the fiber fabric of the school uniform, becoming the only light in the darkness, quietly emitting in Gu Chaoming's pocket.

There was a sound of footsteps floating up from downstairs, and someone went upstairs.

It must be strange to stand here by myself, Gu Chaoming didn't want to scare others, he raised his leg and stepped into the threshold, and the countless hesitations and fears just gave up easily because of the sound of footsteps.

Just like this, Gu Chaoming walked from one darkness to another with the faint light in his pocket.

Turning on the light, Gu Chaoming only took a few seconds to get used to the tens of square meters of land he returned to.

The smell of beer and cigarettes still lingers in the air, sinking in the air and refusing to dissipate.There is no need for Gu Chaoming to look for it, the beer bottles on the coffee table are self-proclaimed.

When I opened the refrigerator, apart from a few bottles of beer lying on the floor, what was left were chili powder wrapped in plastic bags by Qu Yingyi, beans for porridge, and ingredients for soup.Red and blue plastic bags, one on the left and one on the right, and one or two bottles of hot sauce on the top.

There was a lot of free space in the refrigerator, so Gu Chaoming put the dessert box in the middle shelf without any desire to move it.

The house is old, and there are many unreasonable design. In summer, the heat will occupy it, and the spring and autumn air can’t move its feet. It is in the middle of the old age, and it is thick and heavy, and it is humid everywhere.When spring and autumn come, Gu Chaoming always opens the windows for ventilation.

Gu Tao obviously didn't have this kind of awareness. The humidity in the room had accumulated for an unknown amount of time, mixed with the smell of beer and suppressed cigarettes, making one's nose feel sour after taking a breath.

Returning to a familiar place, Gu Chaoming consciously returned to his original role and did his original job.

Open the window first to let the night breeze exchange with the heavy air in the room, then put away the beer bottles on the coffee table, and go to the kitchen to find the source of the sour smell.

The bowls he left behind the day he ran out were still piled up in the kitchen sink, no one had touched them, and the water had never touched a drop, Gu Chaoming suspected that Gu Tao had never entered the kitchen at all.

After roughly cleaning the living room and kitchen, Gu Chaoming didn't bring any clothes, so he was going to take clothes from the closet in the room to take a bath.

Without the key, the door lock has been smashed by Gu Tao with a kitchen knife, and the scar on the door panel speaks of its pain.

Gu Chaoming pushed open the door, and the room was in chaos as he expected.

Gu Tao came to his room and looked for the "little treasury" that he had taken away.

Gu Chaoming didn't take the mess in front of him seriously, he took off his school uniform jacket and threw it on the piled quilt, took out a change of clothes from the closet and took a hot bath.

With the exhaustion and heaviness all over his body transpiring with the heat, Gu Chaoming wiped his hair with a towel and sat on the paved bed.

Gu Tao hasn't come back yet, so I don't know if he will come back tonight.A towel was placed on the quilt, and Gu Chaoming lay down on the bed with wet hair, picked up his phone to reply to the message.

When Cen Xili saw the message he replied, he replied a few words, probably saying that he was fine.The rest of the information came from another person who said he would guess the meaning of his name.

While chatting happily, his side suddenly cut off, and Lin saw that the messages sent by Fan gradually changed from leisurely guessing the meaning of his name to worrying about no one replying.

The messages run through the time from when he got off the car until now, one message is very regular, one message every 5 minutes, Lin Jianfan keeps sending messages if he doesn’t reply to him, just like a conscientious sentry, but he is a very flustered sentry Both worry and worry leaked out of his tone, and he couldn't hide it.

"I'll send you a message in 5 minutes, and you will reply when you see it, and you must reply when you see it."

"Your father didn't beat you, did he?"

"Aren't you home yet?"

Gu Chaoming flipped through the pages one by one, and the corners of his mouth curled up without permission.

Worrying too much, talking so much is like a small chatter.Gu Chaoming flipped through messages one by one, imagining Lin Jianfan's anxious expression step by step, imagining Lin Jianfan sending him messages while watching the time.

Although he didn't know the use of sending a message in 5 minutes, Gu Chaoming felt as if his heart was touched by something soft, like falling into an endlessly soft bed, and he never wanted to get up after sinking into it.

After Gu Chaoming flipped through the information, his fingers automatically took screenshots of Lin Jianfan's concerns.

Opening the window, the dreary air was replaced, and Gu Chaoming's gloomy mood before entering the door was instantly replaced.Gu Chaoming smiled unconsciously. When he took the screenshot, he was eager to reply to Lin Jianfan, but stopped his fingers after typing a line.He glanced at the time on the top of the phone, waiting for the last digit to change.

The last digit ranged from seven to eight, and it took 5 minutes. Gu Chaoming was waiting for what Lin Jianfan's next message would be.

Waiting and waiting, 5 minutes had passed, Night Breeze changed round, Lin Jianfan's news did not come, Gu Chaoming, who was waiting with his heart in his arms, was inevitably disappointed.

It's been 6 minutes, still haven't posted?

Gu Chaoming decided to wait a little longer, lying on the bed with his arms outstretched and holding the phone, his thumbs shook restlessly during the waiting time, and he waited wholeheartedly for another ten seconds, but the news still did not come.

Why didn't you post it?forget?Still have something to do?

Gu Chaoming's fingers rested on the send button, he had already typed what he wanted to say, and was waiting in the dialog box.

Seeing that Fan didn't send it, Lin sent it by himself?

Before pressing the send button, the phone suddenly vibrated, and Gu Chaoming, who was concentrating on concentrating on whether to send a message or not, lost his grip and dropped the phone on his face.

With a slap, the phone hit Gu Chaoming's nose. Gu Chaoming cursed because it hurt from being hit by the phone, and because he was stupid.

The mobile phone dropped by the ear kept vibrating, making a buzzing sound, and the vibration expanded near the ear, without stopping for a long time-someone called him.

Gu Chaoming touched his slapped face, picked up the mobile phone that kept vibrating on the bed, guessed that it was Su Bing who would call him at this time, and while guessing, he was thinking about Lin Jianfan's unpunctuality, after 5 Minutes did not text him.

The moment he picked up the phone, Gu Chaoming suddenly felt that he was complaining that Lin Jianfan looked like a resentful woman for being unpunctual, so he couldn't help frowning and was startled.

The young man is restrained, waiting full of heart without being answered by others, he complains a few words, and realizes that he cares too much and vomits with himself.

Gu Chaoming decided not to wait for Lin Jianfan any more, but he picked up the phone and saw the three words displayed on the screen, which made him cancel all the previous thoughts before he realized it.

The three characters with the first name and the last name, the three characters that are official to the extreme.

Gu Chaoming's remark to Su Bing was Xiaoma, and at one point he wanted to remark on Su Bing's son, because he found that the remark Su Bing gave him turned out to be my son.

My son?I still have myson!

The note to Cen Xili is Xiao Xili, which Su Bing often calls him.

In just a few words, the distance from ordinary people is widened, and the intimacy is fully displayed, but the three big square characters in front of me seem to be a little alienated, why do they feel alienated?I didn't think it had anything to do with it before.Gu Chaoming didn't think about it, but felt that the name was too official, so he decided to change it after answering the phone call.

The thumb that was still stuck on the send button to press it or not now slides the answer button like skating on ice.

Let go of your fingers, and the moment the call was connected, Lin Jianfan's eager voice came overwhelmingly from the other end of the phone.

A little depressed and anxious voice.

"Hello, Gu Chaoming? Hello?"

Before Gu Chaoming opened his mouth, the other party had already spoken several words.

"How are you?" Lin Jianfan asked.

"I'm fine." Gu Chaoming waited for him to finish before replying.

The eager voice on the other side stopped suddenly, Gu Chaoming waited for him to reply, but there was no sound at once.

Gu Chaoming called his name: "Lin Jianfan?"

The other side replied that he was still there.

"Why don't you talk?" Gu Chaoming asked.

It took several seconds for Lin to see Fan before he said, "I'm rather talkative."

Gu Chaoming was helpless, feeling a little cold, got up from the bed and walked to the window: "What the hell are you talking nonsense, you still talk nonsense to me, it's not the first day we met."

Lin Jianfan rubbed his fingers against the phone case, and when he kept sending messages to Gu Chaoming, all the anxieties and doubts accumulated in his stomach melted in his stomach after Gu Chaoming said that I was fine, and his brain couldn't mobilize, so that his mind was empty at that moment , The conversation with Gu Chaoming was also blank.

The doubts in his stomach dissipated, and when he came back to his senses, the short time was only for Lin Jianfan to come up with a nonsensical excuse to cover up his relief at hearing Gu Chaoming's voice.

Seeing that Fan skipped the pointless topic, Lin asked, "Have you gone home yet?"

Gu Chaoming closed the window: "I'm back early, I just took a shower."

"Where's your dad?"

"He's gone, I don't know if he will come back today."

"That's good."

Gu Chaoming didn't really want to talk about Gu Tao: "Don't talk about him, you just called to make sure I'm safe. I was about to reply to your message, but you called me so scared that I dropped my phone in the face."

Gu Chaoming smiled, and Lin Jianfan also smiled at the other end: "Then I won't pay, and I can't afford to pay."

Gu Chaoming was a little surprised: "Wow, do all the top scholars praise people like this? It's really fresh and refined."

Gu Chaoming boasted that he was not very good at people, and he and Su Bing scolded his son for being very smooth.

Lin Jianfan was giggling over there, he was not very good at joking with others, he was always serious, and now he also joked with Gu Chaoming: "I mean your phone, not your face."

"Then I take back the sentence you said before, my phone is fine, but my face is, so pay for the loss of my face."

"You're playing porcelain, you're lying." Lin Jianfan said.

"I'm going to touch porcelain, and I'll pay for the loss of my face."

"I can't afford it either."

Gu Chaoming sat on the bed with his legs crossed: "Forget it, I still owe you a bottle of yogurt."

Lin Jianfan hadn't figured out what his name meant yet, but when Gu Chaoming asked him to drink yogurt in his heart, he had already agreed to invite him by default.

"I haven't guessed yet, so why don't you buy me a drink?" Lin Jianfan asked.

"Then guess it now, if you can't guess it, you don't have it. I remind you that the word Chaoming means separate, it's not difficult to guess, just the literal meaning."

Reminding him of this, he almost told him the answer directly. Gu Chaoming had never released water like this before.

After being reminded, Lin Jianfan quickly guessed: "Morning is morning, and morning is the sun. If it is bright, it is bright? Or is it tomorrow or the future?"

"The guess is almost inseparable from ten, and nine out of ten are right, and I will buy you nine out of ten yogurt tomorrow."

Seeing Fan smiling happily, Lin said, "That means you lick the yogurt cover, and I drink yogurt."

Gu Chaoming was just talking casually and didn't expect Lin Jianfan to answer like this: "...It seems a bit bad, it's weird, I'll invite you to cover the yogurt."

"Then should I say thank you to you?" Lin Jianfan said.

Gu Chaoming smiled happily: "Come to the store tomorrow to exchange for prizes, I'll be there all day."

Hanging up the phone, looking at the phone page and switching back to the home page of the phone, Gu Chaoming thought of something and opened the call history.

A cursory scan of the incoming call records shows that Lin Jianfan's phone calls are always just right, and when he is irritable and lost, he will always implicate his irritability to him on the other end of the microphone.

It can also be said that Lin Jianfan is not very good at choosing the time to call. Lin Jianfan always calls when he is most likely to get angry, which makes Gu Chaoming only feel that his phone rings annoyed.

Originally thought that Lin Jianfan's ringtone was a signal to pry into his heart, but now that I think about it, it might be a signal to remind him not to be stupid.

The sense of security that he didn't know why might have been accumulating in a way that he didn't notice, but it was finally conveyed by Lin Jianfan Hui holding his trembling hand.

Gu Chaoming clicked on the contacts, found the person who just called him, and stopped his finger on the name of the contact.

With the repeated operation of the fingers, Lin Jianfan's name disappeared one by one.

The name of the contact person was blank, and the short vertical bar kept beating, disappearing and reappearing quickly. Gu Chaoming stared at the vertical bar thinking, and typed the word "Lin Xueba".

The official sense is gone, and the distance has been shortened, but it is a little less special.

Less special than he wanted.

Gu Chaoming is like a child who is called by his parents to go to the store to buy things. At home, he remembers the things his mother said to buy, and he is attracted by the delicious snacks as soon as he arrives at the store.At first, I only thought that the word Lin Jianfan was too official, and I wanted to draw a little distance, but now I gradually turned to want to be special.

He forgot his original purpose, threw himself into the embrace of snacks, and plunged headlong into it.

Gu Chaoming recalled Lin Jianfan's characteristics, and that feeling was like giving Lin Jianfan a new nickname, a unique nickname he came up with.

After thinking about it, after all the days spent with Lin Jianfan, Gu Chaoming typed the three words "Lin Yogurt" in the name column.

When these three words are put together, it is unavoidable.Gu Chaoming removed the surname and typed a few more words.

Nine times out of ten, yogurt is nine times out of ten.

The name intercepted from the chat between the two of them inevitably felt a little too hypocritical.

Gu Chaoming added the word Lin again, hesitating between the two names.Nine out of [-] yogurt, it has a feeling of Niu Hulu's XX and Ulanara's XX in TV dramas.

Gu Chaoming frowned slightly, deleted all of them, and retyped the words Lin Jianfan.Thinking of Su Bing's Xiao Xili, Gu Chaoming replaced Lin with Xiao, who was discarded before the small characters could be typed.

There are two words on the name column.

See Fan.

May you see a world full of flowers.

It was his parents' best wish for him.

Many people asked him to meet Fan, and if he wanted to be kinder, the first step would be to remove his surname. Gu Chaoming looked at the simple and unremarkable two characters, and pressed OK.
