him and his duo

Spring City is located in a small low-lying basin. It rains for the second half of the year and is foggy all the year round.It is located in a remote place, with a small population, and its economic development is extremely lagging behind. There are basically no places that can be shown for people to visit.

In short, although it has the word "city" in its name, strictly speaking it doesn't seem to have anything to do with the city.

From the moment Gu Shen stepped into this yellow land, he glanced around and felt that this place has a gray filter, just like those in old-fashioned movies. People can see its dilapidation.

The buildings in this place are only five stories high at most, which can be counted on one hand anyway.There are some shops scattered on both sides of the street. The shop signs seem to have never been changed in a lifetime, and the words on them are rusty.

The hustle and bustle smell on the road was very strong, and Gu Shen felt like vomiting even more.

"Follow up," Xu Ke had already walked a few steps, seeing that Gu Shen was still stuck in place, he had no choice but to go back to pull him back, "I will not be responsible if I lose it."

"Where are we going now?" Gu Shen was really dizzy and uncomfortable, he didn't want to move a step, he just wanted to find a place to sleep with his head covered for eternity.

Although he did not vomit all the way, his stomach was very uncomfortable at this time, and even his internal organs were sour.Top-heavy, indescribable feeling.When speaking, the voice was muffled in the sweater, and there was a sense of dizziness.

Seeing him dying, Xu Ke condensed countless stabbing words, but when he thought of what the man said in the car, he suppressed the meanness in his mind, "Stay here and don't move!" , I'll buy you candy."

"Okay." Gu Shen nodded obediently, and after nodding, he remembered to ask, "Buy more, one of any flavor."

Xu Ke nodded and quickly entered a convenience store next to him.

Familiar streets, familiar scenes, and even the smell of dust in the air are all in memory.

The convenience store at the station is still smoggy. There is not a lot of space but several mahjong tables are set up. The sound of playing cards is mixed with the sound of cars on the side of the road. I can't tell which is more annoying and which is more vulgar. .

Here, it is exactly the same as when he left, nothing has changed at all.

Still depressingly insane.

Xu Ke lowered his head to scan the QR code, took the bag of candy and carried it away.

The owner of the convenience store is a fat middle-aged man who knows 80.00% of the gossip about this place.When he saw Xu Ke, his eyes lit up for a moment, "Hey, you are from the old Xu's family on the corner, right? Why are you back to see your dad?"

Xu Ke looked over with cold eyes.

The boss probably realized that he had said something wrong, so he smiled at him embarrassedly, "Oh, I'm sorry, I forgot about you and your father..."

"He's not my dad." After Xu Ke said this, he stepped out of the store with the candy in his hand, without turning around again.Leave the chatter in the store far behind.

In the gray sky and humid air, Gu Shen stood on the side of the road and shrank his neck.

A little cold, he put his hands in the pockets of the sweater, and glanced in the direction Xu Ke was walking.

After watching for about three seconds, I saw his deskmate walking over with a big bag of candy, his face was still expressionless, but he seemed a little unhappy?

"What's the matter, who messed with you?" Gu Shen was so angry that his harsh words didn't have any momentum, "Tell me, I'll beat him up for you."

Xu Ke's tense face slowly relaxed, and he took out an orange-flavored lollipop and handed it to Gu Shen, "Who can you hit if you can't stand like this? Hit the air?"

Gu Shen peeled off the candy wrapper two or three times, and then stuffed the candy into his mouth, "Wait a minute, wait until I finish eating this candy to replenish some energy."

Xu Ke snorted and said nothing.

But the irritability in my heart was strangely suppressed, making people feel a little better.

"At the same table, where are we going now?" Gu Shen asked vaguely while biting his candy.

"Go to the hospital," Xu Ke looked down at his phone, "You can wait for me at the milk tea shop near the hospital, and I'll come to you after finishing the matter."

"No, I'll be with you." Seeing Xu Ke frowning, Gu Shen added slowly, "I'm afraid of being abducted in this state."

"What can you do?" Xu Ke sneered, "You only have a face."

"Tsk, with my face, there are so many things I can do."

Xu Ke: "..."

How can this person be able to wave anytime, anywhere...

"How do we go, don't we call a taxi?" Gu Shen regained his energy and began to worry again.

"Wait a minute, someone is coming to pick you up."

"Who?"

Before Xu Ke could speak, a motorcycle drove towards them, splashing dust all over them.

Just as Gu Shen was about to curse, the motorcycle rider shouted excitedly, "Ke Er, you're finally back."

Kerr?

How do you call it so affectionate?

Gu Shen frowned, feeling a little uncomfortable.

The motorcycle rider took off his helmet, revealing a head that was an inch bigger than Gao Mai.He got out of the car in two or three steps, and hugged Xu Ke, "Ke Er, I miss you, you don't usually call or anything, Lao Xie and the others also miss you."

thank you?them?

There are quite a lot of friends here, all of them are so enthusiastic?

Gu Shen felt that he had been deeply deceived, and his face was half pulled down at that time.

"This is Hu Zi." Xu Ke introduced them to each other with a blank face: "Here, I am at the same table."

"Hello tablemate!" Lu Hu was extremely enthusiastic, and immediately hugged the sullen Gu Shen, "Thank you for taking care of Ke during this time."

During the hug, Lu Hu whispered in Gu Shen's ear: "We, Ke Er, usually don't bring anyone back, so it's really kind of us to be able to pick you up. He's a slow person, so you didn't take too much trouble, did you?" ?Thank you, bro."

Gu Shen listened to this remark with mixed feelings, although it was very useful, but this time the closeness and closeness were clear at a glance, and Eldest Young Master Gu didn't like hearing it very much.

He smiled at Lu Rover, "It's nothing, it should be."

Lu Hu's nerves are thicker than Gao Mai's, and he immediately felt that Gu Shen's expression was not very happy, but he didn't know why, so he could only smile kindly at Gu Shen.

"How do you ride this motorcycle?" Gu Shen asked.

Lu Hu scratched his head and asked Gu Shen: "Can you ride a motorcycle?"

Young Master Gu has been car sick since he was a child, and he is not very interested in cars, which are things that boys like. Now he has developed a good habit of telling the truth, so he honestly shook his head and said, "No."

"That's it, wait a minute, I'll ask someone to come and let him drive you."

The person Lu Rover called was his cousin, and he was not very familiar with Xu Ke. He came very quickly and rode very fast, and he delivered the person in a short while.

Gu Shen knew a little bit about the ways of the world, so he gave him 200 yuan when he got out of the car, "Thank you, I'm sorry."

The man shied away for a while, but it could be seen that his will was not very strong. Finally, he put the money in his trouser pocket and left a phone number, "Call me wherever you want to go in the next few days, and I will give you a ride."

Gu Shen nodded, turned and walked into the hospital.

"Did you give the money just now?" When they walked upstairs to the ward together, Lu Rover asked, "How much did you give? I'll refund it to you. Ke Er and I are brothers, so we can't cheat his classmates."

Gu Shen felt that Xu Ke's flirtatiousness was really hard for him, and he just picked what he didn't like to hear.

"It's okay, Ke Er and I are also brothers." He pronounced the word "Ke Er" very emphatically, as if he had lost something if he pronounced it lightly.

"You two calm down for a while," Xu Ke said, he was a little tired after listening.

Huzi's nerves are relatively rough, and this one often competes with himself when speaking, and the conversation between the two is a bit like playing the piano with a cow.

One is willing to play and the other is willing to listen.

The wards here are quiet and there are not many nurses on duty.It can be seen that the infrastructure is not very good, the corridor is pitch black, even the lights are reluctant to turn on, Gu Shen already stepped on the Land Rover three times when he was walking.

After walking all the way with difficulty, I finally turned into a ward on the third floor.

It was a single ward, and although it was only big enough for a bed, it was considered a luxury suite in this hospital.

Lying on the hospital bed was a thin old man wearing a hospital gown. His hair was gray, but his facial muscles were very stiff, and his face looked a bit fierce.When I heard the sound and opened my eyes to look over, I was a little shocked, and there was an unconcealable joy in those weathered eyes.

"Xiao Ke, why are you back?"

"To see you." Xu Ke walked in and glanced at him, "How did you hurt? Where did you hurt?"

"It's not a big deal." The way they get along is very similar to that of grandparents and grandchildren. "It's just that they accidentally got violent and flinched. The doctor said that it will be fine after lying down for two days."

"Really?" Xu Ke didn't believe it.

"Then I can still lie to you?" The old man pretended to be unhappy, and suddenly caught sight of Gu Shen at the door, and couldn't help but look him up and down, "Is this young man unfamiliar?"

"My classmate," Xu Ke explained briefly, "is in the garden."

"Oh, the one over there in the garden," the old man commented to himself, "It's not bad, it looks very good."

It's not bad, but I don't know what is good about it.

"By the way, Xiao Ke, go and ask the doctor when I can be discharged from the hospital," the old man ordered, "If I lie down again, my old bones will be sick if I don't get sick."

"Take that kid with you too," the old man pointed at Lu Hu, and said with distaste, "When you see him, you get annoyed."

Lu Rover lay innocently on the gun, he pointed to himself, "Huh? Me?"

Xu Ke frowned and stood at the head of the bed without moving.

"Go, what are you waiting for?" The old man said angrily, "Why, don't worry about your classmate, can I still eat him?"

The old man was a little emotional, Xu Ke had no choice but to lead Lu Rover downstairs to make room.

After they left, the old man looked at Gu Shen gently, and waved to him, "Young man, come here."

"You have a good relationship with Xiao Ke, right?" The old man wanted to force a smile to make himself look a little more kind.But his face was a little stiff, so this smile looked a little scary.

He may have also realized that his smile is not good-looking, so he put it away again, and tried to slow down his tone when speaking, "I have never seen him bring any classmates home."

"That kid also stalked Xiao Ke for three or four years." He was referring to Lu Rover. "The two of them gradually became what they are now."

As Gu Shen approached, he was rarely nervous, he straightened his back unconsciously, and said with a smile: "I and him were also pestered by my face."

"It's not the same," the old man shook his head and smiled, but he didn't say what was the difference. He continued, "Xiao Ke, life is a little bit hard. I think you have a good relationship. Can you take care of him more in the future?"

"Don't worry, I will, Grandpa."

The old man nodded and said, "Have you heard of Xiao Ke's father?"

"He told me a little bit."

"Is he even willing to tell you this?" The old man was a little surprised.

"No, just a few words."

"That's it," the old man closed his eyes, and when he opened them, his eyes lost focus, as if he was recalling something from a long time ago, "His father is really nothing..."

Xu Ke asked the doctor a few words about the old man's condition, and after learning that there was nothing wrong with him, he hurried back with Lu Rover.

He was out of breath climbing the stairs, but Lu Rover called him from behind, "Ke Er, why are you leaving in such a hurry?"

Xu Ke didn't answer him, the old man in the ward deliberately pushed him away and didn't know what he would say to Gu Shen, but his intuition told him that he would definitely not say anything good.

Xu Ke used three steps as two steps. When entering the ward, he first knocked on the door outside before entering.

In the ward, Gu Shen was sitting on the ponytail and peeling apples for the old man. The two of them suddenly laughed out loud at something they were talking about, and they seemed to hit it off.

Xu Ke quietly breathed a sigh of relief. He walked forward, and before he could say anything, Lu Hu muttered behind him, "Ke Er, why are you leaving in such a hurry? Are you here to catch ghosts?"

These two hundred and five...

Gu Shen and the old man looked at him together, Xu Ke opened his mouth and made up nonsense, "You are walking too slowly."

Land Rover: "?"

I have always been the school's long and short distance champion.

The three of them chatted with the old man all morning, and after lunch, the old man started to chase people away, "Okay, okay, I'm going to take a nap when I'm old, where should you go, don't stay here and disturb me."

After finishing speaking, he told Xu Ke, "Xiao Ke, take your good classmate around, don't you mean to travel? Take it to your old school in the afternoon to take a good look."

What's so good about the school?

But Xu Ke somehow didn't want to talk back. Although he had repeatedly confirmed with the doctor that the old man was fine, it might be that the old man looked a little old in his hospital gown. He suddenly wanted to follow the old man's wishes and stop talking to him. Some irony.

"Well, I'll see you again tomorrow morning." Xu Ke said.

The three of them quietly closed the door and left the hospital.

"Ke Er, where are you going next, to No. [-] Middle School?" Lu Hu said, "I'll send you there, so I won't be with you in the afternoon."

"Are you busy this afternoon?"

Lu Hu suddenly became shy, blushing and said: "I have never had a chance to tell you before, I have a puppy love. The class next door, we have been together for almost two months."

Xu Ke was speechless, but he was a child after all, so he casually blessed him, "Do it well."

"Don't worry about us," he urged again: "Go quickly if you have an appointment, and don't make people wait."

Lu Hu blushed and left.

There were only the two of them left, Gu Shen remained silent after leaving the ward, Xu Ke actually wanted to ask what the old man had said to him in the ward.

But when the words came to his lips, he suddenly turned a corner when he said them, "Is there anything you want to see?"

Gu Shen was silent for a long time again, until they had walked aimlessly along the road for a long distance before he suddenly said: "Go and look around the house where you and Xu Xu lived before."

Xu Ke stopped in his tracks and looked up at him, "What's there to see?"

"I just want to wander around casually." Gu Shen lowered his voice, narrowed his eyes and asked, "Is that okay?"

Xu Ke: "..."

The feeling that that house brought to Xu Ke was quite complicated, there was happiness, but there was more pain.There are the endless conquests of that person, but there are also those years when the little boy and the little girl lived together.

It was because of too many feelings that Xu Ke always dreamed of that dim and yellowed hut every time he dreamed back at midnight.

Has his suffering, but also has his joy.

When he returned there, Xu Ke did not expect that he would be so calm.

He is used to pretending to be calm on weekdays, and when he encounters old scars, he can actually keep his heart beating well, just like a strange bystander.

The furnishings in the room have hardly changed, the square wooden table in the narrow living room, the dark but tall stove, the room separated by a pink curtain...

The afternoon sunlight came in halfway through the low windows, clearly illuminating the fine dust in the living room.

Gu Shen bit a green apple-flavored lollipop and stood behind him with his head lowered. He spoke suddenly with a sticky voice. He pointed to the square wooden table where he ate, and asked, "He beat that person here before?" you?"

Xu Ke's back froze suddenly, he turned around and asked, "What did the old man tell you today?"

"Talk a lot." Gu Shen also began to say half of what he said and leave the other half.

The green apple-flavored lollipop was bitten off by Gu Shen. He raised his head and looked at Xu Ke, the corners of his eyes were a little red, "So I have a lot of things I want to do now, those things that have been buried in my heart for a long time. For a long time, I want to make it out and say it now."

As if the string that had been tense between them suddenly broke, Xu Ke's eyes were a little dizzy, his eyelashes trembled, and he said amidst the frantic heartbeat: "Don't worry about what the old man said, old man Everyone likes to add oil and vinegar..."

"Do you think I fell in love with you because I knew how miserable you were in the past?"

As soon as these words were said, Xu Ke's scalp exploded.

For the first time, they cut out their "like" and put it on the bright side. So far, there is no way out.

Xu Ke really didn't know what to do, the first time he met someone like Gu Shen, the first time he faced such turbulent emotions, his heart almost jumped into his throat.

"You, why do you like me?" In the long silence and turmoil, Xu Ke said, "Maybe you should know me a little more, and then you will know that I am not as good as you imagined..."

"No, you've always been better than I imagined," Gu Shen said patiently and gently. In the eyes of others, he has always done all kinds of evil, but he will always let go of all the thorns in his body when he is with this person in front of him. The soft thing was exposed and placed in front of him,

The looming green apple smell is getting closer, as if it is on the tip of the nose, "I am a person who always knows what I want, and I don't have any sympathy, and there is no temporary hormonal explosion."

Xu Ke kept backing away, almost touching the wall, Gu Shen caught him and hugged him around the waist.

He looked down at him, his eyes were full of meticulous concentration, "I like you, I like you so much that I confessed it in a hurry before I was sure of your mind, it was reckless and not sure."

"Actually..." Gu Shen smiled, with a candy in his mouth, he said mockingly, "It doesn't look like me."

Xu Ke's eyes were so dilated that he couldn't see clearly. He only felt his mind was full and his heart was swollen.In such a special environment, any part of his body is extremely sensitive.

Gu Shen lowered his head, and the voice rang on his lips, "Did you fall in love early in junior high school or high school?"

When Xu Ke opened his mouth, his lips could wipe Gu Shen's face.He didn't speak, just shook his head.

"Then do you want to try?" Gu Shen asked.

"try what?"

"Try to have an early date with me."

After Gu Shen finished speaking, he pinched Xu Ke's chin, tilted his head and kissed him.

Young people's touches are all cautious, like treating treasures, afraid that the force will be too heavy, it will hurt people, and they can't wait to take care of them in every possible way.

Gu Shen's hands were propped against the wall, and Xu Ke's two fingers were tightly gripping Gu Shen's clothes. Their noses intertwined, their breathing was slightly chaotic, trembling and tentative, and kissed passionately together.

The sun didn't know where to go, and only a ray of light was projected in, and it was reflected on the young man's face, glowing with golden light.

Gu Shen's cell phone turned on and off, turned off and on again, the latest contact was Xu Qiang, he sent a message, and the lonely flashing light on the quiet phone screen:

Why do I feel that something is wrong between you and your little deskmate?You don't have a crush on him, do you?
