a protracted war

Sunny September 6

I have to go to work tomorrow, so even if today is still boring, it is my last precious free time.

In the morning when the sun was still not very strong, I went out for a run for a while.

I actually hate sports. I can't figure out why I have to work harder when working all day is hard enough.

But Yi Yi should like sports very much. Although he is a Wenqing, he should not be a Wenqing who is powerless. The first two times I went to his house, I saw a pair of small dumbbells in the corner of the living room and spring tensioner.

Running today was just a whim, maybe it was the sunshine that gently sprinkled into my room through the leaves that touched me, or maybe it was my mother's constant nagging that played a role.

There were already many people in the exercise equipment area in the community. I took a closer look and found that the kid hanging on the horizontal bar turned out to be Xiaojie.

He was struggling to do pull-ups, and he couldn't do one for a long time, so he simply stretched his arms and hung on the horizontal bar at 45 degrees, looking up at the sky.

I can't help laughing.

Xiaojie also saw me, jumped off the horizontal bar, and jumped to my side in two or three steps. After looking at me for a while, he asked me: "Brother, are you going for a run?"

I said, "If it wasn't for running, what would I want to do?"

Xiaojie nodded: "That is to go for a run."

Then he said, "I'll run with you."

I said, "I'm going to run on the street, do you really want to follow?"

Xiaojie was very firm: "Go, anyway, I have nothing to do when I go back."

Me: "Have you finished your homework?"

Xiaojie: "I finished writing yesterday."

Me: "Saxophone isn't practicing anymore?"

Xiaojie: "Practice again in the afternoon."

Me: "Why do you wake up so early on weekends, and sleep in if you don't sleep?"

Xiaojie curled his lips: "My mother called me up early in the morning to have breakfast."

Me: "...Your mother is right. Sleeping in late is not a good habit, but eating breakfast is a good habit."

Xiaojie: "...I see, don't talk about it, it's so embarrassing."

I laughed, "You are such a big kid."

We ran along the street outside the community. On the way, we met many elders and aunts who went out to buy vegetables in the community. They greeted Xiaojie and me warmly, and marveled that we ran together because of the huge age difference. Harmony also said that if I have children, it should be the same, saying that I must be a good father.

I'm a little unhappy, I feel that Xiaojie and I stand together, no matter what, it is impossible for others to think that we are father and son.

I was depressed all the way, Xiaojie could see it, he comforted me and said: "Brother, don't be sad, you look like my brother." From this moment on, I fell in love with Xiaojie completely.

I couldn't help but think that I might not get married and have children in the future. I thought I would be lost, but I carefully savored my feelings when I thought about it for a while, and found that I didn't, I didn't have any feeling of sadness or loss. On the contrary, I think that the person who will spend the rest of my life with me in the future is Yi Yi, and I feel a little lucky.

It's hard to avoid hypocrisy when people are free. I think it's really amazing that Yi Yi and I have come from strangers who had never known each other more than a month ago.

When I got home from the run, my dad was not there, saying that he had gone out to buy groceries, and only my mom was watching TV.

I asked my mother: "When did Dad go out? Why didn't I meet him?"

My mother stared at the TV screen intently: "It's been a while since I went out, maybe it just happened to be wrong."

I oh, and told my mother that I had entered the house.

My mother waved at me.

Yi also didn't know if he hadn't gotten up yet, and he didn't reply when I sent him a WeChat message.

I looked through the WeChat address book, found Lu Zijie, and asked him, "Where are you now? Are you busy this time?"

Lu Zijie replied in seconds: "Coincidentally, Changmao has been idle for the past two days, and there will be an announcement in a few days."

I said: "Aren't you popular? According to the routine, it should be soft when you receive an announcement."

Lu Zijie said: "TV dramas are all deceitful, don't keep watching them if you have nothing to do."

I laughed and said, "Then you haven't acted a lot?"

Lu Zijie said: "No way, I have to eat as a living person, and I have to bend my waist for five buckets of rice."

Me: "Come over to my house for dinner sometime."

Lu Zijie sent a shocked expression and said, "You dumped Yi Yi? Did you see me?"

I made a sweaty emoji and said: "I've been filming too much. One person can support a drama. Don't make too much noise. It's my mother. My mother is your diehard fan. If it's convenient for you , come to my house to have a meal, and give some benefits to your diehard fans."

Lu Zijie: "Oh, that's it, no problem at all, just tomorrow, I'm in XX city now, I'll go back tomorrow."

Me: "With our sister Ai Mei?"

Lu Zijie: "Zhang Yang, Zhang Yang, you weren't such a gossip before."

Me: "Just tell me, right? Let me tell you that you can't be sorry to our sister Aimei, otherwise all the gay men in the company will put you in a sack and beat you to death."

Lu Zijie made a smirk and said, "I have something to do, so I won't tell you, gossip."

In a fit of rage, I sent him dozens of emoticons to vent my anger.

Yi Yi didn't reply to me until after lunch.

He said that these days are always busy.

I didn't feel left out. On the contrary, I was quite happy. He hurriedly explained that his studio was running well, and I asked him, "Have you eaten yet?"

Yi Yi said, "I'm eating now."

I said: "Then you eat, sleep for a while after eating, don't make yourself too tired, let's talk at night."

Yi Yi said, "Okay, let's talk tonight."

It was after eleven o'clock in the evening that I received the video invitation from Yi Yi. As soon as the video was connected, he smiled at me apologetically and said, "Sorry, I just finished my work."

I said, "So late?"

Yi Yi said: "There is no way, the customer has been dissatisfied and has changed several times."

I said: "Don't work too hard, it doesn't matter if you take your time, I will go to work tomorrow, and I will support you."

Yi Yi said with a smile: "Okay, then I'll take my time, the efficiency of the studio is not good, so I will hug your thigh tightly."

Afterwards we chatted for a while, we said goodnight and hung up the video.

But the long distance can't quench the near thirst, so I think I must meet Yi Yi tomorrow.
