alternate performance

The hydrangeas stuffed in the trunk lacked care, and they withered and died in the airless space. They were burned out by Gu Cong not long ago, and many petals of different colors fell on the blanket in the trunk.

Gu Congran closed the car cover, handed the mobile phone to Xu Chenhe, and said in a flat tone: "It's like this when the car is rented."

The two were silent all the way, Xu Chenhe buried his head in his mobile phone and sent a message to the staff of "Scuba Tour". After learning about the latest situation in the store, he looked up and saw that the car had already parked downstairs.

The sun was shining at noon, so Gu Congran got out of the car first, went around to the shaded side of the back seat, opened the door, and stretched out his hand in front of Xu Chenhe with the roof of the car.

In the past, this action was extremely common, no matter how intimate they were, they had done it before, so how could they have left any extra thoughts on the ambiguity of holding hands.But now they feel too embarrassed to even touch their eyes, and in Xu Chenhe's view, touching their palms will only bring them into a stalemate.

He pushed Gu Congran's hand away and said, "I'll be fine by myself."

Gu Congran carried Xu Chenhe back to the sixth floor and put him down. Xu Chenhe wanted to go by himself, so he left a way for him, just like emotionally. He learned to respect each other, and kept Xu Chenhe safe while approaching. retreat.

Escorting Xu Chenhe home, Gu Congran turned around and ran downstairs to pick up the things in the trunk for him to pack up. The walker was placed within Xu Chenhe's reach: "During the recovery period, don't always go into the kitchen. Think about it." Let me buy whatever you want to eat, and I’ll be there whenever you want.” Remembering that the contact information of both of them had been disconnected, he asked again, “Do you still remember my number?”

Hot sweat slipped from Gu Congran's temples, Xu Chenhe wanted to get a tissue for him, but as soon as he stretched out his hand, Gu Congran wiped it off with the back of his hand, and squatted in front of the coffee table with his head up, waiting for his answer.

Xu Chenhe hardened his heart: "No need, I'll let Tang Sui deliver it, anyway he always runs towards me."

The last excuse to meet also made Xu Chenhe put out. Gu Congran's heart ached like being scratched by the sharp claws of a wild beast, and he always felt that he was no longer needed by Xu Chenhe.

"Then I..." Gu Congran threw away the decision to tell Xu Chenhe that he lived opposite, stood up and pointed to the door, "I'll smoke a cigarette outside, and take a nap when you're tired."

He found a reason for himself to disappear in front of the other party. As soon as he reached the entrance, he suddenly heard the person behind him say, "Thank you."

"What?" Gu Congran turned his head, not because he couldn't hear clearly, but because he asked Xu Chenhe what to thank.

In the cluster of light pouring in from the balcony, Xu Chenhe's expression was much softer than every day since this time, although Gu Congran clearly remembered that Xu Chenhe hadn't smiled at him for a long time, and he hasn't smiled at him now, but after the reunion, Being ignored so many times, Gu Congran vaguely felt that at this moment Xu Shenhe's eyes were only on himself.

"I said, thank you for taking care of me these days," Xu Chenhe patted his leg, "Also, thank you for taking me out on that rainy day when the power was cut off. Tang Sui told me all about it."

The name that frequently appeared in the conversation between the two caused Gu Congran to be pushed into the glacier every time he was moved. He took out the cigarette case in his pocket and put a cigarette in it, and asked, "Can I choose to refuse your thank you?"

Without waiting for Xu Chenhe to speak, Gu Congran lowered his head and fiddled with the cigarette between his fingers and said again: "After accepting your thank you, I always feel that we have nothing to do with each other like this, I think..."

He wanted to ask for some substantive gifts, although strictly speaking, Xu Chenhe should be compensated more, but Xu Chenhe didn't need anything, but he couldn't shake off the past as neatly as the other party.

"What do you want?" Xu Chenhe asked.

Hearing Xu Chenhe's tone of impatience, Gu Congran hastily turned on his phone to check the date: "Tomorrow is the last day of the screening of "Mrs. Dreamland". Would you like to watch it again with me?"

What happened in Xu Chenhe's mind during the filming of "Mrs. Dream" reappeared in Xu Chenhe's mind. Gu Congran was intimate with him under the pretense of teaching him to overcome the kissing scene. He held hands on the road and ate a box of ice cream at night when he had no part in the scene. Send him a bouquet of fresh roses on the day of wrapping up.

Xu Chenhe was constantly avoiding any chance to recall the past, so Gu Congran asked him to bow his head and think for a long time, and after he couldn't think of a better way to thank him, he agreed: "Yes."

They didn't agree on a specific time, and didn't say which theater to go to. When Gu Congran got ready to wait outside Xu Chenhe's door the next afternoon, Xu Chenhe just opened the door.

There was still more than half an hour before the [-]:[-] p.m. screening, and they unanimously moved ahead of time to go out.The moment their eyes collided, Gu Congran remembered the "tacit understanding" that Xu Chenhe mentioned in front of the aunt in the same ward. At that time, he thought Xu Chenhe was prevaricating others, but now he thinks there is indeed a tacit understanding between them, but he has completely ignored it. That's all.

"Why so early?" Xu Chenhe took the initiative to start the conversation.

Gu Congran's eyes moved to Xu Chenhe's feet: "I plan to carry you down."

"I can go downstairs by myself," Xu Chenhe stepped out of the house nimbly, "I just have to walk slowly."

After the lock was locked, Xu Chenhe grabbed the handrail and went down the steps. His posture was like a child who just learned to walk. He paused after taking one foot, and then repeated the original movement, which fully extended the time for going downstairs by three times.

During this process, Gu Congran was always in front of Xu Chenhe, and if Xu Chenhe accidentally fell, he would be able to catch him in time.

But Xu Chenhe walked very cautiously, until he went downstairs, he didn't stagger a step.

Due to the high attendance rate of "Mrs. Dreamland" and the good response from the audience, the screening period was extended. Until today, when Gu Congran bought tickets online, he found that the screening hall was almost full.They arrived early, and there were only a few people sitting in the middle two rows. Gu Congran bought the ticket for the last row. He led Xu Chenhe who was wearing sunglasses to the back row. He stretched out his hands and retracted them embarrassingly.

The number of times they went to the theater to watch movies together was very few, and the only time he thoughtfully grabbed Xu Chenhe's hand and wrote love words to Jiang Hua. He didn't know if Xu Chenhe felt something strange that time. Gu Congran would like to ask Ask yourself at that time—what is Xu Chenhe not worthy of?

Why not cherish it?

"Which position?" Xu Chenhe asked from behind.

Gu Congran handed him a ticket backwards: "Number six, number seven."

Xu Chenhe sat in seat No. [-], to the left of seat No. [-].In the past, he sat on the right side of Gu Congran, and he still remembered the touching love words Gu Congran wrote on his palm, and his own predicament after misunderstanding the other party's intentions.

During the blank time waiting for the screening, Gu Congran tried to stir up the topic: "Do you want popcorn? I'll go out and buy it."

"No, I'm not hungry." Xu Chenhe folded the movie ticket in his hand.

"Thirsty?" Gu Congran asked again, "I'll help you buy something to drink."

Xu Chenhe tore the ticket into squares, but still didn't raise his eyes: "I don't like to drink while watching a movie, and going to the bathroom in the middle of the movie will affect my viewing."

Anticipating that Gu Congran would still want to ask, Xu Chenhe sighed softly: "Borrow me a blanket, the air conditioner here is too high."

The film just started when Gu Congran borrowed the blanket.

Spreading the blanket on his lap, Gu Congran leaned over to cover Xu Chenhe. The latter felt his approaching breath, did not hide, and looked straight at the screen.

When Gu Congran got close, he didn't want to make a further distance. On the armrest of the chair, he and Xu Chenhe leaned against each other's shoulders, and touched the back of Xu Chenhe's hand silently as a test.

"Am I not acting well?" Xu Chenhe suddenly said.

There were people on the left and right, and his voice was so soft that Gu Congran could hear it softly: "Why, every character of yours is very attractive."

Zhuang Shixian who collides with pride and affection, Fu Qian who is cold but caring for his family, Xie Miao who is inferior and ordinary, each character has become vivid because of Xu Chenhe's shaping and interpretation, and sometimes Gu Congran will feel emotional in his heart , if it wasn't born in the wrong place, Xu Chenhe would be a good seed suitable for the entertainment industry.

The encounter between Zhuang Shixian and Yun Qingmeng was playing on the screen, Xu Chenhe didn't take his eyes off, and silently shrank his hands under the blanket: "Then don't touch me, and watch the movie seriously."

This time Gu Congran still didn't watch the movie seriously.For a full 120 minutes, he used his eyes as fingertips to caress Xu Chenhe's side face. In the dim light, the little bird under the corner of his mouth appeared and disappeared. Its wings were pointed, as if it was about to flap Gu Congran's heart. A breeze.

These 120 minutes are too short for Gu Congran.

He also wants to spend a longer time with Xu Chenhe, 120 months is not enough, then 120 years, he wants to be Xu Chenhe's tree, let the bird sing or sleep on him, let it rest on his stretched branches Greet every ray of soft morning light.

The movie ended and the lights in the auditorium were turned on. Xu Chenhe hooked the sunglasses clipped on his collar to the bridge of his nose, and waited for the people in the venue to walk out either holding empty popcorn buckets or holding the hands of their partners. Then he raised his head, Watching the subtitles scrolling on the screen.

"The time is up." Xu Chenhe said calmly, as if he was announcing the end of something.

After more than two minutes, Gu Congran finally took his eyes away from Xu Chenhe's face, looked down at the dial, and sincerely invited: "It's almost dinner time, let's go out from here and go around to the food city." Just enough to..."

"You said it's enough to watch a movie with you." Xu Chenhe said while holding a mobile phone and sending a message, "Don't push yourself."

"But you know that I don't just want time for a movie," Gu Congran said anxiously, "I've stayed here for so long, I just want to chase you back, and it doesn't matter if I say I'm greedy or shameless, my purpose is only This one, I-"

"I'm easy to be deceived, right?" Xu Chenhe put away his phone, and folded it while clutching the two corners of the blanket, "But if you are deceived a lot, you will learn to be smart. You have indeed touched me during this time, but you will not be stupid." It's time to invest in feelings. I am Xu Chenhe, Xu Chenxing's younger brother Xu Chenhe, and I will no longer be your painting."

He was about to get up when Gu Congran hurriedly grabbed his hand: "Xu Chenhe, I like Xu Chenhe, I can't live without you, I..."

Something was stuffed into the palm of his hand, and then Xu Chenhe pulled it away.Gu Congran looked down and saw that it was a heart-shaped origami made of movie tickets. I don't know when Xu Chenhe made it.

"That's it, return your heart to you, go back, Jinjin City is not yours." Xu Chenhe lifted his feet and left, Gu Congran got up to keep up, he warned from a distance of one meter, "I'll run if you follow me, and I won't let you catch me again."

His injury has not fully healed yet, Gu Congran couldn't bear him to be in pain any more, so he had no choice but to nail him in place, watching anxiously and helplessly as the other party limped away because he was eager to get away from him, and finally even a piece of his clothes disappeared. At the corner of the auditorium exit.

His dense branches and leaves only want to create a piece of peace for the birds, but the birds don't seem to have the idea of ​​perching on him.

He felt he was dying.
