him and his duo

September in Garden City is different from other places.

The heat of the summer solstice continued during the day, but the temperature dropped sharply at night, making people shiver with cold.When Xu Ke was taken over by Wu Lian in his second year of high school, he often had a cold and fever because he couldn't adapt to the environment.

The temperature here is extremely low at night, and Xu Ke was woken up in the middle of the night.The dream just now was so real that he broke out in cold sweat.

Xu Ke turned on his phone and looked at it. 3:16, just happened to be stuck at the sensitive time of early morning and dawn.

As a doctor, he often works overtime all night long, which made it difficult for him to fall asleep because of his dreams.

But after a long day, exhausted physically and mentally, he knew his body needed a rest.He covered his head under the quilt, tossed and turned several times, but was still too restless to fall asleep.

Forget it.

Xu Ke sat up resignedly, put his left hand on the shadow on his right wrist, and unconsciously pressed it tightly.After finally calming down for a few minutes, he began to feel a little upset again.

The dream just now held his heart tightly like an invisible hand, making him breathless, and he couldn't help but recall the scene in the dream just now.

Xu Ke touched his pocket, struggled for a while, and lit a cigarette.

Alone in a hotel in late autumn and September, with no home, no place to return to, in a lonely corner, smoking an old cigarette from the past.

It really looks so lonely.

Xu Ke held a cigarette in one hand and smiled self-deprecatingly.

In fact, Xu Ke didn't know how to smoke at all before, and this hobby was somewhat influenced by Gu Shen.

Gu Shen is very addicted to smoking. When he was with Gu Shen in the past, Xu Ke would try his best to control Gu Shen and not let him smoke too much.

Not very good for the body.

During the days of separation, Xu Ke gradually became addicted to smoking.

But he didn't plan to change it either, since no one was around, he had to leave some unclear thoughts.

After becoming a doctor, Xu Ke seldom smokes, but he still keeps it with him.Because there are too many nightmares, when you are distracted, your addiction to cigarettes will come up, and you can't help but want to smoke a few to relieve your worries.

Thinking about it carefully, Xu Ke felt that he had lived a miserable life in the past half of his life, and he never had a good night's sleep.

Every time he dreams back in the middle of the night, he always wonders if it was because he had a deep relationship with evil in his previous life that he has all kinds of entanglements and unsatisfactory things in this life.

Xu Ke took a deep breath of the cigarette in his hand, and then slowly exhaled, the smoke formed a faint smoke ring in the air.

The dream just now was extremely scary.In fact, Xu Ke has strong self-control and is rarely bound by dreams. Usually, when he wakes up and realizes that it is a dream, he will throw it away and stop thinking about it.

But today, until now, he is still recalling the scene in his dream carefully.

He dreamed that when he was 17 years old, Gu Shen said firmly to him, "If you miss it, you miss it. Why do you think so much? People always have to look forward."

After a while, I dreamed of even more bizarre and grotesque pictures.In a church, he saw Gu Shen wearing a straight suit that he didn't like the least, and said to the beautiful girl in a wedding dress opposite, "I do."

No matter how Xu Ke yelled and chased after him, Gu Shen never looked back.Walking gracefully, like Xu Ke left Gu Shen's world many years ago, without stopping.

……

This is not a good sign.

Xu Ke wanted to throw these useless dreams out of the depths of his consciousness, but in a daze, Xu Ke somehow remembered that year when he was 17 years old.

At 17, most people are in high spirits.

The boy's head can't hold too many worries, even the scent of flowers in the air can make people feel happy.

The boy who likes to wear black T-shirt always leans lazily on the railing outside the classroom door.Borrowed by the sunlight, it just stood there lazily, as if there was a huge light behind it, making people unable to take their eyes off it.

In the peaceful appearance of the years, he seemingly unintentionally said to himself in a very serious tone that he will never look back on what he has missed.

Sonorous and powerful.

The sun shrouded behind him, and the boy was serious as if making a promise that would last forever.

Xu Ke remembered that day, when he just found out that Gu Shen had a girlfriend, he didn't know what happened to him, and he was depressed all day long.

Now that I think about it, I realize that it was because of jealousy, and I didn't realize it at the beginning.

Anyway, he didn't talk to Gu Shen all day.

Gu Shen, that wood, didn't know why he was angry, sweating anxiously and trying to please him in every possible way.

He first skipped class and went to a distant place to buy a lot of candies, and then put all of them on Xu Ke's desk, "Here, eating some sweets will make you feel better."

Xu Ke was angry and moved, but his eyelids were still drooping lightly. No one could see the great waves hidden in the iceberg monster's heart. He said coldly, "No, I'm in a good mood."

Gu Shen: "You look like someone owes you 800 million..."

Before he finished speaking, Xu Ke glanced at him unkindly, and Gu Shen didn't dare to say the next words.

……

Gu Shen was very famous back then, and he would run away in fright when he heard his name within a radius of ten miles.No one dared to provoke him, but no one dared to get close to him either.

Only Xu Ke is not afraid of Gu Shen, Xu Ke always looks at everyone indifferently, as if he doesn't like everyone.

It may be because of the attraction of each other's attributes that they get closer and closer.

Later, this idiot Gu Shen suddenly became enlightened for some reason, and explained to Xu Ke stupidly and in a panic, saying that he was fine now, that he broke up a long time ago, and that there was a reason for the relationship.

They were not together at the time, and both of them were in a hazy stage about this emotion.For example, Gu Shen didn't know why he had to explain, for example Xu Ke didn't know why he was suddenly in a bad mood.

Xu Ke didn't think he was a hypocrite, and he calmed down when he was amused. At that time, he seemed to just ignore him for two or three days.

Then, Young Master Gu said that sentence to himself lazily and cheaply in that patch of sunshine, saying that he would not look back, the past is the past, and there is nothing to miss.He explained in various ways, just because he was afraid that Xu Ke would ignore him...

How wonderful the two of them were at that time, without the innumerable fetters later on, they loved each other cleanly, and faced the ignorance and awkwardness of adolescence together.

At that time, Gu Shen only had Xu Ke in his eyes.

So, Gu Shen, karmic reincarnation, I am now called "the past", can you also be as neat and easy as you said before.

Xu Ke's nose was a little sore again. He squeezed the little bit of cigarette left and put it in the ashtray, and the irritability in his heart began to slowly subside.

No one knows Gu Shen's real appearance. Gu Shen's heart is too deep, and he is too good at disguising. Under his rebellious appearance, he is as lonely and cold as Xu Ke.

Only Xu Ke had seen his real appearance, so Xu Ke knew that boy's cruelty better than anyone else. He was cruel to everyone, even worse to himself.

For example, he once said that he would never see Xu Ke again in his life, and he really deleted all his contact information after all these years.

Every time Xu Ke came back to visit the grave, Gu Shen would go on a business trip.Every year during the Ching Ming Festival, Gu Shen will not be in this city.Every time Xu Ke went to visit Wu Lian, he could always see those bouquets of daisies in front of the tomb who didn't know when they put them down.

Nine years apart, every year like this.

So, how serious he was when he said that sentence, how serious he is now when he executes it.

Xu Ke was playing with a silver lighter, the metal body felt a little cold in his hand.

There are many scenes that he dare not think about.He didn't dare to think whether Gu Shen looked at him indifferently when he saw each other again?Don't dare to think what will be the first words Gu Shen will say when we meet again?He didn't dare to think whether Gu Shen would hold another girl's hand, and then introduce, "This is your sister-in-law."

It's kind of funny to think of this picture.

While thinking, Xu Ke felt his heart getting colder and colder in this cold September night.

After deliberating for a while, he still sent a text message to Huzi in the distance.

[I'm having nightmares again and can't sleep. 】

Huzi's news came back very quickly,

Huzi: [What's wrong with you?What conscienceless thing did Gu Shen do in the dream? 】

Xu Ke: […]

Huzi: 【It's okay, don't think about it, don't worry, no matter how much you think about it, Gu Shen won't see you. 】

Xu Ke: […]

Huzi: [How many years have passed since you did those things?Still thinking about it?For you, I even deleted his contact information, and you still complain to me here at night?How many years have you complained?Haven't finished posting yet? 】

Xu Ke: [Thank you, I feel much better after you say that. 】

Huzi: [Alright, good night. 】

Xu Ke transferred to another high school.

Huzi was Xu Ke's best buddy before he transferred to Huayuan. Before that, he took Gu Shen back to his hometown and introduced him to Huzi.

During the year after breaking up with Gu Shen, Xu Ke was awakened by nightmares almost every time, and then sent messages to Hu Zi.

At the beginning, Huzi paid special attention to this matter, and explained to Xu Ke in every possible way. Later, the number of times increased, and the time passed, and Huzi became annoyed, and just like tonight, he just opened up.

Xu Ke looked at the chat records and thought it was a little funny.He finally got himself out of the nightmare, since all the meetings have been made, Gu Shen will always meet this time, so there is nothing to be nervous about.

This idiot has been hiding from him for so many years, and he doesn't know how he will react when he sees her again.Before he came back, Xu Ke had explained to Gao Mai that he should not reveal his whereabouts, and wait until he arrived at the scene on the day of the party, in order to catch Gu Shen by surprise.

Xu Ke put out the cigarette, looked at the hazy night outside, it was almost dawn.

His drowsiness gradually receded, and he couldn't help recalling the rare good dreams in his life, when Gu Shen was by his side, within easy reach of him.At night, Gu Shen would always pat him on the back to make him fall asleep peacefully.

In his dream, he would always smell the peppermint fragrance from Gu Shen's body.

No matter how you feel at ease, no matter how you sleep.

May you have a good dream, may you always have me in your dreams.
