Abnormal

The young man has been staring at him.His hands were twisted behind his back, his eyes were blood red, and his face was pressed against the floor tiles, covered with a lot of melon seeds.

He growled his name through gritted teeth.

Suddenly, countless fragments flashed back in Bai Xiuwen's brain.

After traveling in a foreign land for many years, the bed on the other side of the ocean, when all the wall lights are turned off and the heavy curtains are drawn, the empty and quiet room becomes a dusty and deeply buried box.During those nights when it was difficult to fall asleep, the memories of youth kept flooding to the shore in his mind, and he thought of Gao Tong.

He thought that if he could hear Gao Tong calling his name again, it didn't matter what kind of emotion he was in, whether it was ordinary or passionate, he wondered if there would be such a day.

The yellowed pages of the book were turned over one by one, but in the end they failed to freeze.He has no thoughts at the moment, he just thinks that Gao Tong looks more dignified and beautiful than ever before.

"...Let him go." He finally said in a hoarse voice, signaling those people to let go of Gao Tong.He bent down to grab the young man's wrist, but when his eyes met, he was startled again.

Cried?

The students held back a little when they saw Bai Xiuwen approaching, but Gao Tong's struggle strength suddenly became stronger - no one thought that his thin body could break free directly, only saw him struggling to get up, still staggering Shaking, but punching the person in front of him!

Bai Xiuwen snorted and turned his head sideways.

This punch went straight to the face, the strength seemed to weigh a thousand catties, and it seemed to be filled with endless hatred.The breathing sound of the young man was no different from that of a wild animal, and the cap of his down jacket was pushed aside due to the action just now.

He looked around the people in the room with a half-smiling and half-crying expression, and he realized that the scene was just like the scene in his dream, everyone's face was suppressed by a black cloud, it was dark and messy, chaotic and ferocious, everyone was evil spirits.This is the closest he has come to a 'dream come true' in his life.

Before everyone could react, he ran straight to the door and escaped!

At this time, a waiter was pushing the door in with a plate, the two collided head-on, the other was unstable, and all the things on the plate fell to the ground——

It's ice cubes.

The ice shattered and splashed, dripping and clattering, the crisp, cheerful and rapid breaking sound seemed to be playing a bright and joyful march.In an instant, all the actions were frozen frame by frame, leaving only the astonished faces of everyone.

Gao Tong said sorry and rushed out the door.

Someone wanted to chase after Gao Tong, but Bai Xiuwen, who had been silent all this time, finally said, "No need."

He didn't explain anything, his hair was still dripping with wine, one cheek was red and swollen, his clothes were half wet, he put on his overcoat and pushed open the door.

"Brother Bai, you haven't wiped off the wine, be careful of catching a cold—"

Bai Xiuwen waved his hand, Jiang Changwan stopped talking, but still looked at him with frowning frowns.

The door opened with a 'squeak' and closed again.Zhang Yuanlong roared from behind: "Brother Bai, I'm sincere!"

Then it was quiet again.

……

There were many taxis parked in front of the hotel, Gao Tong jumped into one at random, and closed the door tightly: "...Go to X County People's Hospital, please hurry up, master!"

He seemed to be on the run.

The driver looked around in the rearview mirror before saying: "Young man, I will take orders in the city today, and my wife and children are waiting for me to make dumplings at home. This..."

Gao Tong glanced at the hotel gate, and said anxiously: "Then you can take me to the X County shuttle bus, okay?" Then he added: "I'm really in a hurry, please."

"Okay." The driver stepped on the accelerator, and the car jumped out quickly.

When the car drove away from the corner of the hotel, he saw Bai Xiuwen in the rearview mirror.

The man didn't chase after him, but just stood quietly at the door of the hotel and stared at him.The cold wind howled, blowing the corners of his clothes flying, and the man stood at the door, his tall and slender body being drawn into a shadow by the light.

Obviously, he should not be able to see his face clearly, but Gao Tong broke into a layer of cold sweat suddenly, as if he saw the pair of pupils that were so cold that there was no emotional ups and downs passing through the glass window, monitoring him coldly.

He knew he was in this car, Gao Tong thought with horror, maybe he would still remember the license plate number of this car, and then lightly threatened him with various means.

He may not know Bai Xiuwen enough, but he knows 'Mr. Bai' enough.

The car arrived at the stop not long after. Gao Tong thanked him and got off the car, and hurried to the front desk to buy a ticket.

The conductor was impatiently calling someone, and when he saw someone coming, he said, "There are no evening buses for County X and County J, brother, where are you going?"

Gao Tong was stunned: "Ah, I'm going to County X... I remember there was still a car at 10:30? How could it be gone?"

The conductor said: "It's New Year's Eve, the roads are bad, and the driver is not willing to drive."

Gao Tong didn't know what to say, and asked again: "...Is it really gone?"

"No, why lie to you." The conductor yawned, "I'm going to get off work soon too. Brother, please see if there are any taxis willing to take you. This place is near the expressway, and there may be ones that go to County X. Woolen cloth."

Gao Tong paused, said a word of thanks and left.

The boundary of this place is actually quite remote, there are no buildings around the development zone, and the wind is very strong.After walking for a while, the surrounding area was completely dark, and it was eerily quiet, with occasional dogs barking.

Gao Tong let out a few breaths, his ears and knees were a little stiff from the cold, and he couldn't see a few cars going back and forth.

Suddenly, the sound of firecrackers and the cheers of the crowd sounded in the distance. It was very lively. Gao Tong looked towards the source of the sound and found that it was almost in the direction of the hotel.He stared blankly, when suddenly the phone rang in his pocket.

Gao Tong took out his mobile phone to look at the calling number, sneered and hung up.

He huddled in his clothes aimlessly and walked in the direction of the highway.The strong wind blew past his ears, and he was buried in the vast and desolate night, in a vast expanse with no end in sight, and no stars in sight.

The phone rang again.Gao Tong didn't look at it, and just pressed the call off in his pocket.

The soles of the feet were also freezing cold, it was too cold, Gao Tong used the taxi app to call a taxi again with chattering teeth, but a few minutes passed and still no one took the order.

The man called again.Gao Tong thought for a while, and finally connected.

That end is quiet, and so is this end.The two sides are quiet, and the world is silent.

"Gao Tong."

It was like this every time I called, the other party called his name first, and always held the initiative, with the attitude of a superior.His heart can't help but be pulled by the other party's heavy call.

Gao Tong managed to calm down and said, "I will pay you back."

The other party paused: "Where are you?"

"...It has nothing to do with you."

"Now there should be no buses back to County X. Taxi is not safe. Tell me where you are, and I'll take you back to the hospital." It was too quiet, and the deep voice of the other party seemed to penetrate the microphone and reach his ear. The same as when chatting online a few months ago.The other party said again: "Or I will find you a house to live in first, and then go back by car tomorrow."

Gao Tong almost laughed out loud.He also wanted to be the same as the other party, speaking so calmly and indifferently at all times, so he took a few breaths hard, and the cool wind poured into the mouth, throat, and then directly into the heart.

He sneered, "Bo Xiuwen, have you played enough?"

"...Let's not talk about this first." He heard the other party's breathing, "Gao Tong, let's settle tonight's matter first, okay?"

"Solve tonight's matter?" Gao Tong asked back: "Which one? Did Chen Peng drag me from the hospital to the class reunion in the name of apologizing on New Year's Eve, or did you order Zhang Yuanlong to humiliate me in public?"

"Bo Xiuwen, if your purpose is to see how desolate and embarrassing I have been living these years, then congratulations on your success." A car came in the distance, and the bright yellow and warm headlights shone in the distance. Gao Tong I couldn't help but ran and waved, but the car shuttled away without stopping.

He stopped.

"My current life is no different from trash. I am a trash. I have no skills, no job, my dad is seriously ill and dying, and I am in debt... You know what? The first thing I think about every day when I open my eyes is how to I didn’t die yesterday.” Speaking of this, Gao Tong smiled and shook his head: “Oh, of course you should know this too. I actually played sm with you. I was kept like a dog, and I actually believed it was for better training..."

His voice was a little crying: "Do I look particularly funny? Don't I?"

At that time, he confided his heart to the other party, and he said: "Master, before you asked me where the m attribute came from, I never dared to admit it, and I always brainwashed myself to say that it was natural. But in fact, it was because I was born in high school. ...I was infected by school violence in high school. I don't know why it happened—but I'm really not a pervert. I will be obedient in the future, please don't abandon me, I'm sorry..."

He had given everything to the person in front of him, and all his weaknesses, pain and despair, his joy and joy, were exposed to this person.

"...Calm down, Gao Tong." Bai Xiuwen was sitting in the back seat of the car, his hands were sweating so much that he could hardly hold the phone, he said: "There are some things I planned to explain to you a long time ago, But never got around to finding the right moment. Over the years—”

But I heard the young man say abruptly: "It's over."

so quiet.

it's over.It's over, it's over, it's over!Gao Tong nervously repeated his own words, and suddenly roared strangely and sharply: "It's over! You pervert, pervert—"

"My current life has been ruined. It was you in the past, and it is you now! Bai Xiuwen—" he roared until his voice changed, and his voice echoed infinitely on the empty highway: "Are you satisfied?! "

The only answer to him was the sound of car horns in the distance.Gao Tong looked at the phone with trembling hands, and found that the tears on the screen had all frozen into ice.The phone was as cold as if it had just been fished out of a hole in the ice.

It turned off automatically.

He fell to the ground suddenly, crying and laughing strangely.He no longer felt cold, but his whole body was extremely hot, as if he had been plunged into a natural hot spring near his hometown when he was a child, or as if he was bathed in his mother's womb, with the amniotic fluid wrapping him—this kind of warmth and It was so comfortable that he even wanted to take off all his clothes to enjoy it.

And he did.

After an unknown amount of time, the speeding black Bentley stopped by the side of the road.The man got out of the car and turned on the flashlight to see Gao Tong lying prone in the snow.

He was wearing a white old-fashioned vest, and underneath was a pair of extremely thin line pants. He hugged his shoulders and huddled up, slowly crawling on the ground.

Bai Xiuwen once heard his grandfather talk about their generation's struggle against the United States and aid Korea.It was cold at that time, and there were no thick clothes to wear when the supplies were not delivered. When people were frozen, they would hallucinate and crawl on the flat ground. He would think that there were steps in front of him, one level at a time, and as long as he climbed up, he would be warm.

"Gao Tong?" Bai Xiuwen picked him up, took off his clothes and wrapped them around the young man, and kissed him on the lips: "Tongtong? Wake up, it's time to get up."
