old love [rebirth]

Teacher Gao had the stitches removed [-] days after the operation, and Jiang You just came back from a business trip and signed the postoperative chemotherapy plan, so he and Chen Lou picked up the old man and went home.

During this period of time, the son and the students took turns taking care of her. Teacher Gao recovered better than expected, and even Mother Jiang gained some weight.Speaking of which, Chen Lou was a little more thoughtful than Jiang You. When Mr. Gao was under anesthesia after the operation, the incision was sore and angry, and he was in a half-asleep state.Jiang You looked anxious, but Chen Lou was very patient. He half-kneeled on the bed and let Teacher Gao lean against him. Then, avoiding the tube on his body with his right hand, he gently kneaded and massaged from his neck to his arms.

For several nights like this, Jiang You was busy at the time, and when he changed shifts with Chen Lou, he realized that Teacher Gao couldn't sleep well without Chen Lou.He could only imitate Chen Lou's methods clumsily. By half the night, his back was sore and his whole body was numb.

The next day, he said to Chen Lou with emotion: "I didn't expect this to be not ordinary physical work, and you are too kind to Teacher Gao."

The two of them usually meet each other when they change shifts. Except for occasionally telling him about small nursing matters, Chen Lou basically doesn't chat much, so he said with a smile: "It's nothing, just take a rest after sleeping."

Jiang You was surprised and said, "Will it affect your family life? Don't neglect your wife and children." He said this half-jokingly, but his tone was not frivolous.

Chen Lou didn't hide it, and said with a smile: "One single dog." Jiang You suddenly realized, pointed to himself, and spit out a word: "too."

After the two single dogs chatted a lot more naturally, but they still took turns as caretakers, and there was almost no room for communication.During this period, Jiang You carefully searched for a few special nurses, but the female nurse Mr. Gao couldn't accept it.The male nurse also disliked that their family members asked for too much, and dragged it back and forth until they were discharged from the hospital.

Jiang's mother felt very sorry, and insisted on making a table of dishes to thank Chen Lou on the day she was discharged from the hospital.Chen Lou refused, but was persuaded to drink a small can of beer during the dinner, and he became drunk before finishing the meal.

The indoor lighting is moderately bright and dark. Teacher Gao stares at half of the table’s uneatable dishes like an old child. Jiang’s mother gently persuades him, but the persuasion has no effect. tour.From his dressing habits to the Internet-addicted youth, and finally even the "discipline button" of the shirt was moved out.Chen Lou felt sympathetic in his heart, but felt that such a family atmosphere was harmonious and gentle, so he tilted his head with everyone and looked at the punching bag beside him.

Jiang You looked up helplessly, but just in time to see the young man with his eyes bent and smiling at him through the wine glass, with a soft and focused expression.The moonlight outside the window is like water, pouring in from one side of the dining room, and the tops of the redbud trees in the community are shaking slightly.

Jiang You thought about it, but he didn't drink.But there was no way, I was still a little flustered and dizzy.

This day he drove to see Chen Lou off, and the two of them had nothing to say the whole way, Chen Lou put his arm on the car window, thinking about something for some reason.Jiang You politely didn't bother, until he reached the hotel entrance, he gently tugged Chen Lou's arm.

Chen Lou looked back at him in surprise, and stopped for a few seconds while pressing the seat belt.

Jiang You hesitated for a while, but said earnestly: "I went abroad because I came out to Teacher Gao and was kicked out."

The co-pilot was stunned for a moment, his eyes slightly dodged, but he didn't avoid his sight after all.

Jiang You's heart suddenly softened, but he stopped clicking, leaned over half of his body to help him unbuckle his seat belt, and finally smiled and said: "You can't discriminate against me, I have to go to the gas station after I tell you .”

As expected, Chen Lou was distracted and stunned for a moment: "Gas station? Doesn't your car burn oil?"

"The car burns oil," Jiang You replied, "I burn gas. Back then, Teacher Gao equipped me with a gut with a capacity of only 0.4L. Just now, I just finished running in one breath. Hurry up, hurry up. I have to go to the ambulance."

After he finished speaking solemnly, both of them immediately laughed.

Chen Lou pushed open the car door and said with a smile, "I don't discriminate against you."

"How about showing it with actions," Jiang You tilted his head and shouted, "Tomorrow at six o'clock in the evening, Sinan Restaurant."

The next day, the two met at the entrance of Sinan's restaurant. Coincidentally, they wore the same clothes again, and when they walked into the restaurant, they attracted eyes all the way.

Guan Yu was fiddling with his phone with his head down, when he noticed that his friend straightened his neck and looked behind him, so he glanced sideways without thinking.

Not far behind him, Chen Lou leaned forward, earnestly studying the menu together with the person opposite.

The friend asked curiously, "Isn't that your little director?"

Guan Yu ignored it, and only looked at the amused Chen Lou from afar.

The friend said again: "Is that his friend or... They both have the same clothes, which is kind of interesting." Men's gossip is not much worse than women's. Guan Yu used to think that Director Jiang was capable and outstanding, but he didn't know about his private life. .

Before Mr. Gao was discharged from the hospital, he also went to the hospital twice. The first time was with Hongmao. He drove the couple to the hospital. At first, Hongmao's wife didn't understand. He went up, but didn't enter the ward, and only saw the figure of another person going to fetch water in a daze before he suddenly realized.

The second time was a rainy day, when Jiang You arrived in Beijing on a business trip that day, and gave him good news as soon as he landed.I don't know how many times I have heard such good news over the years, but this time Guan Yu was extremely excited, walked around the office twice, and finally gave himself an excuse, and drove the car to the hospital like lightning.

However, he ran to the end of the corridor of the ward in one breath, but he suddenly lost his courage.When he hadn't seen Chen Lou in these years, he felt that everything was peaceful, but once he saw him, he realized how happy he was.It's just that he was happy, he was not sure about Chen Lou's attitude, and he was afraid of embarrassment in his heart, so he counted his heartbeat step by step from the end of the corridor to the door of the ward, and finally looked in through the small window on the door. glance.

In the ward, the old man was sleeping soundly, while the young man was sitting sideways reading a book with his face sideways, and the sunlight was just right.Guan Yu resisted the steps he was about to take, and after a while he turned his head and left silently.

Regardless of whether he admits it or not, Chen Lou has lived well without his participation in these years. He was absent-minded during this dinner and returned to the apartment early.On the desk in the apartment are a lot of documents that companies need him to review or sign, from companies, schools, and charitable funds. The urgent part is put aside by the assistant alone, which is as thick as a dictionary.Guan Yu washed his hands and sat down to flip through the next page. During this period, he extinguished four or five cigarette butts and refilled the coffee twice. However, he kept flipping through the pages until midnight without falling a single word.

Premonitions always come true.

Chen Lou was on the way to deliver three sets of biochemistry for Teacher Gao, and was caught off guard by Jiang You's confession.

At this time, the two had only been together as friends for two weeks, and the information they learned was that they had similar food tastes and the same work and rest. They both liked watching suspenseful reasoning dramas, and their hobbies were mountain climbing.

Jiang You introduced truthfully: "My parents have accepted it, so you don't have to worry about your parents' problems. I don't have any special hobbies. I don't smoke but I can accept your smoking. I don't like drinking but I can drink. I can go out with two catties of liquor. Walk in a straight line. My height is 182 without shoes, my weight is 56 kg, and my abdominal muscles are not obvious. You can see it when you take a breath and hold your stomach. Of course, you have good physical strength."

He is humorous, not embarrassing at all, and at the end he urged: "Say something quickly, you didn't see my nervous little face turning pale."

His face is not small, his face is full of smiles, his face is rosy, slightly nervous but full of ambition.Chen Lou turned his face to look at him, thinking, finally came.

Jiang You is frank, although except for the first time, these few small gatherings are all small shops or ordinary restaurants, and it seems that he is really entertaining a friend from afar.But Chen Lou knew that if he really got along with friends, he didn't need to reveal his privacy that night.

These days, he has been thinking about whether he can accept Jiang You's confession if one day.

The answer is yes.In other words, if it was replaced by any other person, as long as the other party was of good character and not too demanding, he could seriously consider it.After all, he is about to stand in his thirties, and he is on the edge of middle age. The development of his career, life arrangements, and future retirement destination have gradually become clear.Only emotional fluctuations are extremely small, which has become the most meaningless thing.

Chen Lou once had a brief exchange with his friend in City S about this. The other party is a straight man who is now in the blind date market, and his feelings are almost the same as his.It's just that the other party thought more clearly, and sighed with a smile: "What age does what age matter? When you are in your 20s, you are talking about falling in love. When you are 30, you are thinking about living. There is only the first love in a person's life. The ones that bother you, the ones that follow are all about reason.”

From a rational point of view, Jiang You has a good family education and elegant manners, which can be regarded as the best item after considering all aspects.

Chen Lou was silent for a while, with a normal expression, and said after a long time: "In all fairness, you are really outstanding. But this matter involves many aspects, such as many of my personal habits and shortcomings, and our respective work arrangements. You want to stay at S University, your focus of work is here, how to maintain the relationship between the two places? There are also future retirement arrangements... I need to consider all these, and maybe you also need to know more about it." He paused After a pause, he asked earnestly, "So can I think about it for a few days before replying to you?"

Jiang You nodded: "Of course."

The two looked at each other and smiled, and Jiang You said again: "I have had two boyfriends before. My first love was a high school classmate, and I haven't been in touch for many years. The last one was my college roommate. We dated for three years, and now it's very close." Good friends, do you mind having dinner and drinking together once in a while? Do you need me..." He thought for a while, made a chopping motion with his hand, and said with a smile, "Get rid of the relationship?"

"Of course not." Chen Lou smiled, blinked and said, "He must be very good."

"Yes, I admire him very much, and you should like him too." Jiang You laughed: "You are very generous."

Generous but not stingy, frank and unaffected.Chen Lou went all the way to the hotel entrance, and when he heard the taxi driver urging him, he felt that these two words were a little strange.

He hurriedly paid and got out of the car, and heard the soft and low-pitched music in the car again. He didn't regain his senses until the taxi drove far away, and a car behind came with strong lights.

The car stopped slowly one step away from him, with the lights on.Chen Lou thought that he was blocking the way of others, so he took two steps towards the hotel lobby, but felt something was wrong, so he looked back.

The black car has a clean body and beautiful lines.He suddenly remembered the conversation when he chose this car. The man said, the current car is good enough.

He can't say enough.

The other party asked: "Then what do you like, let's go to the auto show on weekends."Ask again: "What's wrong with Lexus?"

He was full of pride at the time, hugging the man's neck and said: "Lexus is not good anywhere, I just like Ford, and Knight Rider's car is Ford's."

Deep in my heart, I was slowly picked up. The car's lights kept on turning on and off, until the doorman of the hotel went over and politely knocked on the window.The people inside did not move at all, Chen Lou slowly adapted to the light, squinted his eyes against the strong light and looked over, seeing his cheeks were bitten tightly, he seemed to be paler, but his thin chin was pointed I saw him staring deeply at himself without saying a word.

The Guan Yu whom he loved deeply, the Guan Yu who hurt him without knowing it, and the Guan Yu who had been with him for a long time and parted ways, are now separated from him by two distances and a window in silence.

After a long time, Chen Lou turned his head, turned around and hurried towards the elevator.Guan Yu waited again until the whistle sounded from behind.

So he drove aimlessly along the main road of City C, and after subconsciously stopping the car, he realized that he had actually arrived at "Sunshine Beauty".There were warm yellow lights in the former "home", but Guan Yu remembered that the one facing the roadside was their kitchen this time.Now there are many figures inside, and one can vaguely identify a man and a woman. The woman is a little short and is bending over to cut things, while the man is tying an apron for her behind him.

Guan Yu stopped the car, shook out a cigarette and lit it. After taking a puff, the taste was not right, so he changed to Hongtashan.

The familiar smell in the smog slowly dissipated. He slightly adjusted the seat and sat until the lights around him were all turned off.When he called Guan Feng, he didn't know what time it was at night. He closed his eyes, and after listening to Guan Feng's surprised question, he whispered, "How is that Jiang You you introduced?"

Guan Feng said it was very good.

Guan Yu asked again: "I'm talking about his private life, feelings, character, personality and bad habits..."

Only then did Guan Feng understand, his mind moved slightly, and he asked directly: "You know he is too?"

Guan Yu didn't speak.

Guan Feng said: "He's not bad, he's very disciplined in his private life, he doesn't have any bad habits. He's the first one that I can really admire without prejudice."

Guan Yu let out a "huh", but did not hang up.After a while, he asked: "...how is he compared with me?" It seemed difficult for him to say this, and he felt his teeth chattering slightly, but he still slowly repeated: "Compared with me, is he right?" , better?"

Guan Feng smiled and said that you are my brother, of course I think you are the best.He paused, and then said: "Objectively speaking, he is indeed not bad."

"Well," Guan Yu's voice lowered, but he still said, "That's good."
