1.

Shanghai Waigaoqiao Wharf, the air is full of the oppressive atmosphere of parting.

Gu Ziyuan came to see off someone, but at this moment he could only stand a little far away, watching the family of three huddled together, reluctant to part.He and Hou Kang are actually a family, but their undisclosed status as a same-sex couple means that he can only come to say goodbye as a brother at this moment, and it will take another half a year for Hou Kang to come back.

"I'm leaving, don't send it off, go back quickly." Hou Kang turned around and waved at him, Gu Ziyuan nodded, staring at the man's back, watching him go to the cabin.

It's a pity that he didn't get a hug from beginning to end, let alone a kiss.Although this is not the first time, Gu Ziyuan is still sad, as if a piece of meat has been taken out of his heart, the thoughts that have been circling in his mind for the past few days popped up again, dangerous, but ready to come out.

He watched as the man boarded the boat and disappeared, then turned his head and took his parents away from the pier.

In the parking lot, he got into the car and sat in the driver's seat. He took a deep breath, held the phone, typed a few words and then deleted them, repeatedly, and finally sent a message - "Brother, let's break up".

Today is obviously a good weather, but in Gu Ziyuan's eyes, it is cloudy.

Hou Kang only saw this message when the polar research ship was about to leave the port. At this time, he ran to the deck and looked down, but he couldn't see the familiar figure at all.

His heart was pulled up immediately, he didn't know whether Gu Ziyuan was joking or serious, so he hurriedly replied the message.

"Yuan Yuan?"

"what happened to you?"

"Don't scare me, I won't break up with you."

"I'm about to leave. I have to go to work. I don't answer your calls. I can't wait for your reply. I'm anxious. My dear, I will miss you."

……

The nearly ten messages sent in the past were like pebbles thrown into the sea without any ripples, and the only response to him was the blue sky in front of him.

Hou Kang and Gu Ziyuan were neighbors in the street when they were young, the kind who played together when they were still wearing crotch pants.At that time, Hou Kang was the king of children, and Gu Ziyuan, who was white and thin, was his follower. A group of people played in the mud and caught bees together.When he was older, Gu Ziyuan had a good brain and a lot of bad ideas, so he was promoted to Hou Kang's dog-headed military advisor.

All the way to the present, we have known each other for 25 years and we have been in love for seven years, it seems that it is time to itch.

There is always a bond between them.Hou Kang was also always curious. They played with fire, caught grasshoppers and stole vegetables together since they were young. There was such a large group of friends. I don't know why. Later, they went to the same junior high school and high school together, and in the end it was only him and Gu Ziyuan left.

And the performance of the two in school has never been as sharp as the north and south poles. Gu Ziyuan has always been the top student in the class, and his test scores have always fallen outside the top three. Fifty years old, his best score is 41, so angry that his father Hou Jianbai taught him that he only grows his body but not his brain.

However, Hou Kang's physical fitness is indeed top-notch, with a tall figure and amazing explosive power.For this reason, Hou Jianbai once thought of sending Hou Kang to a sports school to pursue sports, but in the end he gave up because he felt sorry for his son.Therefore, at the school sports meeting at the end of September every year, Hou Kang is the most shining time of the year. He participates in five or six events by himself, and can win at least three first places.

After running the 5000-meter long-distance race, he was the first to cross the line and continued to run a lap coquettishly. He took off his vest to show off his muscles, and the youthful hormones caused the girls in the audience to scream. Gu Ziyuan sneered at him for pretending.The two wrestled together, a unique way for the two brothers to communicate their feelings.

Of course, in the end, Gu Ziyuan was crushed by Hou Kang as expected.

"Okay, I won't be mean anymore." Gu Ziyuan begged for mercy, Hou Kang let go and pulled him up, and patted the ashes on his pants by the way.

The two have "loved and killed each other" all the way to adulthood.

But time always flies by, primary school, junior high school, high school, Gu Ziyuan and Hou Kang have been classmates for 12 years.The third year of high school was very busy with studies, and during the rare break time, the two of them would get together and look forward to the future, but Gu Ziyuan also knew that Hou Kang's grades were not good, and it was probably impossible for him to be admitted to the same university as him.

He lay on the table and muttered: "Monkey, remember to apply to the school in Beijing when you fill out the application for the college entrance examination."

The boy hesitated for a few seconds, then patted his head: "OK..."

2.

Hou Kang is the network communication engineer on this polar research ship. The ship has entered the Pacific Ocean, but he still hasn't waited for Gu Ziyuan to give him an answer.

But work will not stop because of my own private affairs and troubles.The polar research ship set off from Shanghai in the early winter of November and went south. It was summer in the southern hemisphere at this time, and the temperature in Antarctica would not be too cold. The return trip was in April of the following year, which was the fixed time for wintering research every year.

Hou Kang is mainly responsible for the communication and navigation on the ship. Because the work requires a high degree of concentration, he returns to work every four hours, so he can take a little time off.During the rest time, in addition to catching up on sleep, Hou Kang would go up to the deck and stand at the bow to observe the seascape in front of him. Although he had traveled this route more than once, every time he came again, he could still watch it with gusto—the seagulls flocked together Squads fly overhead, babbling, dolphins occasionally appear around the ship, swimming wantonly, and albatrosses with black wings and white bodies, legend has it that the souls of dead sailors live there...

He deeply loves the sea in front of him, loves all the nature in the sea, simple and moving.Here, no matter how irritable the heart will be, it will calm down.

Hou Kang couldn't help but wonder, when did he become like this?

It must have been a long time ago - before the wave of layoffs began, my parents had been working in a shipbuilding factory.At that time, little Hou Kang loved to take a group of children to play in the abandoned warehouse. Standing on the mottled ship full of rust, he raised his right arm and waved, imagining himself as an old man galloping in the waves. captain.

That love and nostalgia for the ocean is probably engraved in his bones.

Later, the shipyard closed down, and Hou Kang had no chance to play his dream of being a captain, so every summer, he would take a short-distance bus with Gu Ziyuan to the nearby beach, eat popsicles and listen to the sound of waves hitting the coast, while teasing Gu Ziyuan. Shutting his mouth, that is the happiest thing for Hou Kang every summer.

But no matter how happy the days are, there will be moments of parting.

After the college entrance examination, before filling out his application form, Hou Kang never told Gu Ziyuan that he did not apply for a school in Beijing.Everyone was very busy during those days, Hou Kang went to the military inspection, came and went in a hurry, communication was much less, Gu Ziyuan didn't know anything about it.

Until the day of submitting the volunteer form, Gu Ziyuan showed Hou Kang his own with a smile. The rows of colleges and universities in Beijing majored in the somewhat unpopular atmospheric science.

"What about you? Monkey, which school and major did you apply for?"

Hou Kang dodges, but Gu Ziyuan refuses to let go, and finally sees Hou Kang's volunteer form - advance approval, military academy, all of which are completely different from what they talked about before.

Gu Ziyuan was stunned: "Are you serious? Do you want to go to military school?"

Hou Kang took a deep breath: "Well, I have already made up my mind. After evaluating the score, my score should be similar to this school, and the admission is no problem."

Gu Ziyuan's anger was all on his face: "Did you decide to go to a military academy very early?"

"Yes."

"Then why didn't you tell me in advance?"

"..."

"Did I ask you so many times before which fucking school are you going to go to in Beijing? Do you think I'm a fart?"

In Hou Kang's impression, this was the first time a civilized man Gu Ziyuan swears, and he was speechless.In fact, he couldn't tell why, but as long as he faced Gu Ziyuan, he couldn't open his mouth, and felt sorry for him inexplicably, like a comrade who fought together and turned to the enemy in the end.

In the few days after that, it was the first cold war between Hou Kang and Gu Ziyuan in more than ten years since they met each other.Gu Ziyuan resolutely ignored Hou Kang, and Hou Kang couldn't bear to show weakness, but he still felt uncomfortable, thinking of Gu Ziyuan made him inexplicably uncomfortable, and in the end, he took the initiative to find someone to give in to him.

Seeing that Hou Kang was serious about admitting his mistakes, Gu Ziyuan didn't take it seriously, so the two reconciled and had an open and honest talk.

The decision has been made, the volunteer form has been handed in, and the fact that the two go to school in different directions has been established. Gu Ziyuan is still a little sad, because Beijing is really far away from Yantai.

"I will miss you." Gu Ziyuan said seriously, and Hou Kang gently patted his head again.

"The management of the military academy will be very strict, right? Are there no holidays and you are not allowed to go out?"

"probably."

"Then we probably won't have the chance to play together again in the future."

After all, there was a surge of sadness in my heart.At that time, Gu Ziyuan didn't understand why he was so sad, he just attributed it to the sadness of parting.

In a blink of an eye, ten years have passed.

3.

After driving Hou Kang's parents back home, Gu Ziyuan then rushed back to Beijing.As soon as he returned to the research institute, he worked overtime and stayed in the laboratory, working day and night to catch up with the progress of the vacation vacancies in the past few days.

After returning home every day, the house greeted him again
