Xu Fang nestled on the sofa, holding his head in his hands, twitching slightly.

He frowned deeply and clenched his teeth, as if he was trying his best to endure some kind of severe pain. The veins on his neck were protruding from the excessive force.

Intermittent muffled humming, floating in the air.

Gu Chen was so startled that he forgot to react for a moment.

He didn't wake up suddenly until the person in front of him rolled off the sofa in pain.

His heart suddenly seemed to be on fire, he yelled "Xu Fang" and rushed over in a panic, knelt down beside him with a "plop", his knees slammed on the marble hard, making a muffled sound, but he repeatedly Without even furrowing his brows, when he spoke again, his vocal cords trembled violently with anxiety, "Xu Fang, what's wrong with you...you, what's wrong...do you have a headache? You, don't scare me... ..."

While speaking, she reached out her hand through his armpit, half-supported him up, and kept calling him.

"Xu Fang, Xu Fang? Are you okay? Can you hear my voice..."

With no response for a long time, Gu Chen became more and more anxious. He took him into his arms with one hand, and took out his mobile phone with the other hand to call 120 to send him to the hospital. However, his originally slack eyes reappeared. Slowly reflecting his own appearance...

Gu Chen clearly saw his astonished expression, and then he cleverly covered it up.He raised his hands and rubbed between his brows, hiding his face behind his broad palms.

Gu Chen vaguely felt that he seemed to be awake, so he tentatively asked: "Xu Fang? Are you feeling better? Does your head still hurt? Are you still uncomfortable? May I take you to the hospital?"

"Don't go to the hospital, I'm fine..."

Xu Fang's voice was deep and hoarse, implying exhaustion from physical exhaustion.It was only then that Gu Chen realized that a thin layer of sweat had formed on his forehead at some point, and almost subconsciously put his hand into the back of his neck, and as expected, he felt a handful of cold sweat.The heart that had just been let go picked up again, Gu Chen was like an old woman who has broken her heart, and said brokenly: "You sweat a lot, let me get some hot water to wipe it for you, so as not to sweat back and catch a cold... ...Do you rest on the sofa, or go back to the bedroom and lie down? How about I help you to the bed? I feel that your physical condition is not very good. "

Xu Fang stood up and pressed his temples twice, "I'll just sit here for a while, there is a water dispenser in the kitchen, you can get hot water."

"The water in the water dispenser is for drinking..." Gu Chen said while helping him to sit on the sofa.

From the time he gave himself expired yogurt, Gu Chen realized that his common sense of life was basically zero, and his eyes swept around the room, and there was a mess everywhere.There are unwashed bowls on the dining table, crumpled clothes on the sofa, crooked coffee tables and chairs, various scraps of paper, food bags and some messy garbage scattered on the ground, are there still floating in the air? Scattered chalk dust.

Gu Chen really wanted to open all the doors and windows for fresh air, but he was afraid that he would not be able to get a cool breeze, so he opened a small window, and then took a quilt from the bedroom to cover him. into the kitchen.

What caught my eye was still a messy scene.

The chopping board is full of all kinds of takeaway boxes and bins of instant noodles after eating, there are leftovers in the sink, and the ground is stained with oil...

Such a humid and messy environment is simply a breeding ground for mosquitoes, mice, and cockroaches.

Gu Chen can completely imagine all kinds of bugs crawling around the house, and goosebumps come out one after another.To be honest, if this was not Xu Fang's home, I'm afraid he would have rushed out.

In normal times, Gu Chen would never be able to bear such an environment, but when he thought of Xu Fang often eating boxed lunches and instant noodles, eating bread in the library at noon every day, his appearance was glamorous, but his life was a mess in private, Gu Chen's heart surged again. There was an indescribable pain.

Gu Chen has always felt sorry for him.

That day, he was lying on the concrete floor of the playground, showing his vulnerable side unconsciously. Gu Chen said to himself in his heart, no matter what happens in the future, no matter what he becomes, he will never give up on him, as long as he needs , will accompany him, even if he has someone else, will silently guard him.

Gu Chen suddenly felt an eager desire to know him, his past, his thoughts, his secrets, and everything about him.Gu Chen wanted to walk into his heart and understand him completely.

After boiling a pot of hot water, Gu Chen simply wiped his body for him, unintentionally noticing that there were many dense scars on his body.Those marks are probably old. Although the color is light, they are old scars that cannot be removed by medicine. They are of different sizes and mainly spread on the back and arms. It is impossible to see them unless you look carefully. No wonder he After stripping off, Gu Chen didn't notice anything unusual.

Xu Fang was beaten a lot when he was a child?

Or, was he abused? !

As soon as this thought jumped into his mind, Gu Chen's eyes instantly became sore.

What exactly has he experienced, who was so cruel and beat him black and blue?

Gu Chen really wanted to ask, but he didn't dare to inquire about his past abruptly, lest it touch his heartache.What's more, he is in a bad state at the moment, his face is pale, his eyes are dull, and he looks very haggard. What he needs should be a sufficient and quality sleep.

Gu Chen walked into the toilet with the basin in his hand, and washed the other towels as well.After coming out from work, I planned to ask him to go back to the bedroom to rest, and then tidy up the house by myself, but I saw him standing at the door with the key, and I didn't know when he got up from the sofa.

Gu Chen looked at him wonderingly, "Are you going out?"

Xu Fang glanced at the electronic clock on the wall, "It's almost ten o'clock, I'll take you back to school."

Gu Chen was confused by him, and a sense of embarrassment suddenly came from the bottom of his heart, "You, didn't you let me sleep here tonight..."

"Oh," a faint embarrassment flashed across Xu Fang's face, "I, almost forgot...then, you go to bed and sleep, I'll sleep on the sofa."

"It's okay, I'll sleep on the sofa." Gu Chen gave way, "It's getting late, go back to your room and rest."

Xu Fang went straight to the sofa and lay down, refusing with action.

Gu Chen couldn't resist him, sighed, rolled up his sleeves and started cleaning.

First of all, throw all the garbage piled on the table and coffee table into the trash can, and then sprinkle some water on the ground to prevent dust from flying around when sweeping the floor.

Xu Fang nestled under the quilt, watching him busy, his gaze was always on him, never moving away for a second.After a while, he asked, "What are you doing?"

"Cleaning!" Gu Chen took the time to glance at him, "Haven't you seen it? No wonder the house is so dirty."

"Of course I know you are cleaning, but..." Xu Fang hesitated for a moment before asking, "Why are you doing this?"

"Because I'm obsessed with cleanliness, I can't see any mess." Gu Chen smiled, "This is an obsessive-compulsive disorder. Leave me alone and go to sleep. I will try not to make any noise."

"Oh..." Xu Fang responded sullenly, and asked, "Do you want me to help you?"

"No need." Gu Chen laughed again, "You just need to sleep well, and the dark circles under your eyes have come out."

Xu Fang lowered his eyes and was silent for a long time. Just when Gu Chen thought he would not speak any more, he let out a soft sigh that broke the tranquility of the night, "I can't sleep..."

Can't sleep?

This is the second time Gu Chen heard him say such a thing.

"Why can't you sleep?" Gu Chen was very puzzled, he couldn't help but stop what he was doing, and shot his gaze at him like an arrow, as if trying to penetrate his flesh and blood, and look into his heart, "Sleep when you are sleepy! How can you Going against the instinct of the body? Just like eating when hungry and drinking water when thirsty, eating, drinking and sleeping are the most basic modes of survival, don’t you understand these simple truths?”

Xu Fang raised his eyelids, and the eyes of the two met in the air.I don't know if it's an illusion, but Gu Chen found that his eyes were not as dark and bright as before, as if they were covered with a dark and sad color, just like this foggy day in the north, it was gray and impenetrable, giving people A heavy sense of depression.

Gu Chen always felt that he seemed to have said the wrong thing. He probably accidentally touched a sensitive nerve in him. Just as he was about to change the subject, he unexpectedly said: "I'm afraid that I will make inexplicable things again when I fall asleep. Things...I, don't want to scare you, I don't know how to explain to you...like, Li Xin...can you understand..."

To be honest, Gu Chen didn't quite understand.

"Do you have sleepwalking? Do you often not remember what you have done? You..." After a fierce inner struggle, Gu Chen struggled to express the question in his heart, "Are you sick?"

Xu Fang was taken aback for a moment, then shook his head and said: "No, no, I'm fine... Maybe it's sleepwalking, I'm not sure, sometimes I wake up and find that I'm not in the bedroom, but this rarely happens. I've been so tired recently, I should be fine in the future..."

"Oh, you really need to recuperate your body." Gu Chen looked at the dark circles on his face and doubted him.He continued to wipe the table, but couldn't help muttering, "You either eat boxed lunches or instant noodles, how can you keep up with your nutrition? I just saw that you have all the pots and pans in your house. Cook and eat by yourself. Buy some oil, rice, seasonings and so on. When you have nothing to do, buy more vegetables and store them in the refrigerator. You can cook whatever you want. It doesn’t have to be too complicated to eat alone. It’s better than eating box lunches Thousands of times stronger, the oil on the outside is not clean."

Hearing him sputtering a lot, Xu Fang's expression gradually eased, he sat up and looked at him eagerly, "I can't even clean the house, let alone cook."

Gu Chen casually glanced at the sofa, his heart skipped a beat, feeling as if he was being watched by a poor big dog waiting to be fed, he couldn't help but blurted out: "If you don't mind, I can do it for you."

After finishing speaking, he scratched his head embarrassingly, "How about I make dumplings for you? Beef, pork, cabbage, shiitake mushrooms, a little bit of each stuffing, enough for you to eat for a while, and you can eat it with different tastes every day. Will get tired."

"You know how to make dumplings?" Xu Fang's eyes finally burst into a gleam of brilliance, "When I was young, my grandmother often made dumplings for me."

"Of course." Gu Chen was a little proud and showed off unconsciously, "I can also make buns, make flower rolls, and steamed buns. I know a lot."

"Oh, really?" Xu Fang raised his eyebrows, with a slight smile in his voice, "You are really capable."

After being praised by the male god, Gu Chen was embarrassed again, "Then it's settled... I'll go buy ingredients after class tomorrow, and I'll pack more for you, so I can prepare enough dry food for a week."

Xu Fang asked in surprise, "You stopped cooking after making dumplings?"

"Yeah, cooking is quite troublesome. It's not like making dumplings. You can eat them for a long time once you make them, and you have to run to your place every day..." Gu Chen felt something was wrong when he said this, and when he realized it, he was almost caught by his stupid mouth. I was so anxious, "Hey, it's not that I don't want to do it for you, don't get me wrong, I, I'm just afraid of disturbing you..."

"No." Xu Fang interrupted him, looking straight into his eyes, "The word 'disturb' is not appropriate to be used between you and me."

Gu Chen met those black eyes full of tenderness, as if surrounded by watery tenderness.

After a long time, he nodded in a daze and said, "Oh."

The corners of Xu Fang's lips raised slightly, "From now on, thank you for your hard work."
