Abnormal

The fireworks spectacle, watched by only two people, lasted for half an hour. After the end, the mountains outside the window were filled with smoke and the twinkling sparks made the scene seem unreal.

During this period, Gao Tong didn't say anything to Bai Xiuwen, but he was so tired that his back couldn't straighten, so he could only clumsily and stiffly lean in the arms of the person behind him.The other party's chest was warm and dry, exuding a comfortable and refreshing smell. He thought about it wildly, and felt that he couldn't open his eyes, and fell asleep unconsciously.

"Are you sleepy, do you want some supper?"

He heard the other party's voice from above, low and deep, leading into the blood through the eardrum, gurgling into the heart.

In his drowsiness, he had the illusion for a moment—as if time had flown back a few months ago, stagnating in the days when the two had never met.

At that time, nothing had started, and he was still a well-behaved, ordinary office worker, but in many lonely nights, after turning off the lights and getting into bed, when the old furniture was reflected in colorful colors by the outside lights, he Will quietly call a netizen "Master".

Mr. Bai would usually reply with an 'um', sometimes with a slightly raised tone, but most of the time he responded quietly.

The external playback was not clear, and the cheap earphones sold in the convenience store were too bad, so he cruelly spent a lot of money to buy a pair of earphones that are famous for their high-quality surround sound.Through the receiver, he can imagine that the other party is by his side. As soon as Mr. Bai opens his mouth, he will have a rapid heartbeat and shortness of breath. He will feel hot in his chest, cheeks, ears, and everywhere in his body.

He is afraid, but loves it.Want to suppress, but can't control instinct.

At that time, Mr. Bai was the only antidote to his tired life, and the only thought in his simple life.As long as he is here, Gao Tong will be very happy.

The other party asked again, and Gao Tong finally recovered from those days.He seemed to have lost his ability to think, and it took him a while to say something.

Bo Xiuwen said: "Speak less and eat something to replenish your energy." After a pause, he said again: "Otherwise, let's go to the kitchen together, and I'll make whatever you want to eat."

Gao Tong's eyelids are heavy: "If you don't eat management 2..."

Bai Xiuwen asked if he wanted some seafood porridge.

Gao Tong was really sleepy, but his stomach was indeed empty, and when he heard the word seafood, his stomach was ready to move.He said with a hoarse voice, "Is there any seafood-flavored instant noodles?"

"Wait a moment." Bai Xiuwen put on his clothes, "I'll be back soon."

There is no such thing at home, but there is a small warehouse within a kilometer to buy it, and the variety of instant noodles should be sufficient.Bai Xiuwen went downstairs to pick up the car, only to find out that the business hours were closed early, so he had no choice but to go to the 24-hour supermarket a few kilometers away to buy.

During the Spring Festival, the capital is always deserted, the night is deep, the asphalt road is spacious and empty, and the number of cars still driving can be counted on one hand.Bai Xiuwen glanced at the red lights and monitors in the distance, and stepped on the accelerator for 170 miles with no expression on his face.Finally, I went to the supermarket in 3 minutes to buy a few boxes of instant noodles.

When I got into the car again, a call came from my cell phone, and it was actually Deng Lixin.

"Brother Bai, happy first day of the new year!"

The earpiece was full of men and women dancing, and someone shouted 'Mr. Deng, send a red envelope soon'. Bai Xiuwen switched on the bluetooth, turned down the volume, and replied lightly that you are happy too.

"Where is it? Have you returned to Beijing, Brother Bo?" Deng Lixin's voice sounded beaming: "We were having a party here on the Bund. I don't know who was stupid/forced to throw money and make trouble. I almost drank beside me. Being caught in... Damn, I have to go in again and my father will have to skin me, "

Bai Xiuwen said, "I watched the news. What do you want?"

Deng Lixin chuckled: "I'm fine. Later they checked the surveillance and found that I was just picking up girls and didn't participate in it. It's a big mess, I see from above..."

Bai Xiuwen was silent for a moment, then interrupted him: "I said what else do you need."

"Uh, not at all," Deng Lixin said angrily, "Just say Happy New Year, and then I want to ask if you two are reconciled? In fact, when I met Xiao Gao before, I thought he liked you quite a bit. You What is the matter between the two of you that you can’t talk about clearly, really, I now feel that it’s really not easy for two people who love each other to be together, a friend of mine committed suicide two days ago, and he just came back from the rescue..."

Perhaps Deng Lixin's voice became extremely low all of a sudden, but Bai Xiuwen didn't coldly tell him to mind his own business as usual.He quietly looked at the distant skyline, and said, "Well, I see."

"Then what are you two going to do in the future? Are you going to talk to Uncle Bai? I think he and your old man are as old-fashioned, in the future..."

"It depends." Bai Xiuwen said: "Li Xin, I have something to do here, let's talk about it when I have time."

"That's okay, if Brother Bai sees Gao Tong, please say Happy New Year for me. He didn't reply to the messages I sent to him recently."

Bai Xiuwen let out an 'hmm'.

After hanging up the phone, he sat in the car for half a minute without starting it.

Bai Xiuwen has systematically and completely thought about the relationship between the two people in their future lives.When he defined his feelings for Gao Tong, he envisioned himself as many characters, and these roles without exception needed a strong and passionate emotional bond to maintain, so he thought that the relationship itself was not that important.

He hopes to set the span and breadth of this relationship as ∞, which is the end of the universe that cannot be terminated even by life and death.

So, if tonight's fireworks are supposed to be the opening ceremony of a courtship, then the beginning of the story is undoubtedly flawless and extremely romantic.

But he really didn't get any response.

·

When he got home, Gao Tong had already fallen asleep.

Bo Xiuwen didn't intend to wake him up, so he put the instant noodles in the storage room, then changed his clothes and lay down.He just didn't sleep for a while, and felt the people around him tossing and humming softly, and found that Gao Tong had a high fever again.

Bai Xiuwen got up to make some medicine, and when he came back to check his condition, the young man hugged him tightly like an octopus. He put Gao Tong back on the bed, and said, "Drink the medicine first."

Gao Tong's head was a little burnt out, and he drank whatever Bai Xiuwen fed him, and he didn't dare to refuse if it was too bitter, his body trembling helplessly.

He is like a fish stranded on the shore, baked by the scorching sun, washed by sand, and trampled by humans.He was so weak that even resistance was considered a joke—even if it cost his life.

It wasn't until three or four o'clock in the morning that Gao Tong's fever subsided slightly, Bai Xiuwen was no longer sleepy, he went outside the room to make an appointment for tomorrow's doctor, and smoked two more cigarettes.

When he came back, he was about to lie down when Gao Tong, who was supposed to be asleep, called him softly.

Bai Xiuwen frowned slightly: "Did I wake you up?"

Gao Tong paused for a while before saying a word.

"Did you ask me before...Did I think of you in these years?"

"Why do you ask that?" he asked.

Bai Xiuwen was silent for a moment.

Gao Tong laughed, "Actually, I know your intentions. But I can't understand how you used this method to retaliate against me."

"Then let me answer your question now—" Gao Tong turned his back to him, saw the mountains, moon, stars, clouds and fog outside the floor-to-ceiling windows, and suddenly felt infinite sadness pouring into his heart.

He didn't even understand what it meant, he just felt sad.

"No, not once," he said.

"Why would I think of you?" He no longer looked at those scenes, but closed his eyes heavily. "I haven't dared to do such a disgusting thing about you since high school. After so many years, I can't remember you for a long time."
