him and his duo

[Tired birds return to the forest, whales fall to the bottom, the rain stops, it's time to go home. 】

"Come, come, no one is allowed to escape, choose your cards."

"Isn't it, is it really fun? How old are we, it's a lot of money to play this."

"If you think the price is too low, go aside and replace it with someone else."

"Hey, hey, don't push me, I'll play a game first to have a good time."

"..."

"Why is it "The Year in a Hurry" again? Can there be any other songs?"

"Let's change to Faye Wong's "Red Bean". Give me the Mai, and I'll sing it."

"...Then it's "The Year in a Hurry"."

"..."

There are many sounds around, and there are all kinds of movements.Chatting, drinking, punching, singing, playing games, talking nonsense when drunk...

Xu Ke felt buzzing in his head, and the sounds around him seemed to be very close to him, but also seemed to be far away.

His eyes hadn't opened yet, but his consciousness returned to the cage little by little.

Stretching out his hand, he touched the surrounding area carefully, and touched the not-so-soft fabric.He slowly opened his eyes, and he paused in his mind for a while, until his eyes were focused and he could see things slowly, then propped himself up and sat up from the sofa, looking around.

The private room is still the same private room, but the long table for drinking and eating has long since disappeared.Only a few drunks who had already drunk were still hugging each other, recalling the glorious past while pouring wine into each other's glasses crazily.

When reminiscing about the past, we hug each other and cry together, and when we persuade people to drink, we don't give up halfway.

From the way the wine is poured, it can be seen that this is definitely a pro-student.

In front of the dining table is a small k-room, which is mainly the territory of female students.Now I am singing Zhang Xinzhe's "Love Is Like the Tide", the sound of the accompaniment is echoing in the whole private room, Zhang Hao is holding the mic.

After so many years, he is still a duck to water among the girls.

There are a bunch of boys at the booth, I don't know what game they are playing, the leader is Gao Mai, and the support is Deng Xiaoliu.

With the two of them here, there will be no silence anywhere.From time to time, a burst of laughter would erupt from the group of boys, and the voice still sounded so stupid.

Xu Ke stared at it for a while, then suddenly looked away.

He looked down at himself, only to realize, oh, it has been nine years.

It turns out that the past and the past are just a floating dream, and when you wake up, it's gone.Even the specific plot of the dream seemed to be covered by a thick layer of fog, and I couldn't remember clearly, only the sadness in my heart remained.

"Drink some honey water."

A deep voice came from the left, and Xu Ke's whole body seemed to have been electrified.

He raised his eyes and looked over, only to see a dark shadow, very tall, wearing a well-proportioned black shirt, the hems of which were all tucked into the suit pants meticulously.His voice is deep and low, and his movements are gentlemanly and elegant.

Much like that handsome Uncle Gu.

But it was far from the person in Xu Ke's dream, as if separated from his flesh and blood, like two diametrically opposed souls.

Gu Shen gently put the honey water on the coffee table in front of him, and then retreated unhurriedly to sit on the adjacent sofa.It is far away from Xu Ke, and there is a big coffee table in the middle.

There were several sofas around the coffee table, but there were only the two of them in this corner.

In fact, such a scene looks somewhat ridiculous. They used to be at the same table, brothers, and boyfriends of each other.So many layers of relationships have evolved to the present, and even sitting on the same sofa feels awkward, and they have to go to great lengths to distance themselves.

Xu Ke stared at the glass of honey water on the coffee table, dazed.

This is a smoking area. It should be just to take care of him to sleep. The lights were not turned on, so it was very dark.Only the dim light at the side slowly tilted over, and even the outline of the other party could not be clearly seen when they were facing each other.

But Xu Ke didn't rush to turn on the light, neither did Gu Shen.

Many things can only be said in the dark.

The private room is noisy, only this corner is quiet.It seems to reject all sounds outside, forming its own enchantment.

Xu Ke laughed at himself loudly in his heart:

Didn't you run away because you were afraid that people would see you?As a result, not only did they not run away, they also generously handed over a glass of honey water, sat across from you generously, and let you drink it generously.

Didn't you come back to question the situation and seek reconciliation?You ask, don't be cowardly.

If the time and place are right, and if you don't grasp it, do you really plan to go to the wedding scene to snatch the kiss?

So Dr. Xu used his brain with a Chinese score of 138 in the college entrance examination to quickly think about the following questions:

What should I start with?

It was an ordinary greeting: how have you been all these years?

Or straight to the point: I heard that you are getting married, is it true?

It's too contrived to exchange pleasantries, and it's too reckless to ask directly.

These two ways of questioning were at war in Xu Ke's mind, and he hadn't decided which one to say, so the person opposite asked first, "When did you come back?"

It's quite contrived to ask.

Xu Ke cleared his throat, and lied even more artificially, "Today."

Gu Shen nodded, and the conversation was temporarily suspended.

As if he couldn't bear this wordless silence, after a while, he asked again: "Why did you come back suddenly? Do you have something to do?"

Xu Ke still looked at the glass of honey water on the table without blinking.After a while, I made sure that I would not have a nasal sound when I spoke, and then let out a low "um".

He took out a pack of cigarettes from his pocket and took out one to light. The Marlboro mint flavor was a bit choking at the first puff.Xu Ke lightly lit the ash, poured it into the ashtray on the coffee table, and said in a desperate manner, "Of course I want to come back when you get married."

one second.

two seconds.

three seconds.

11 second……

Gu Shen didn't refute, didn't ask rhetorically, as if he had acquiesced.Xu Ke's hand holding the cigarette gradually became unstable. When lighting the ash, he slipped his hand and threw all the unfinished cigarettes into the ashtray.

There is still half of the smoke left, which is a bit of a waste.

Xu Ke really wanted to splash that glass of lukewarm honey water on Gu Shen's face, but all the cells in his body were preventing him.

In the end, he just stood up from the sofa, and said to Gu Shen without forgetting his self-cultivation: "Remember to leave me a wedding invitation. I can't afford it as a big gift, and I still have to keep the money with me."

Embarrassed, too embarrassing.

Like falling into a puddle, covered in mud.

Xu Ke walked towards the door, forcing himself to straighten his back, but there were convulsions in his stomach one after another, like the lagging reaction left in his body from the wine he just drank, which made people feel uncomfortable. vomit.

Just as his hand touched the doorknob, he was suddenly pulled from behind.

"Xu Ke, I..."

Before Gu Shen finished speaking, he was interrupted by a two hundred and five who appeared out of nowhere, "Brother Shen, Brother Xu? Where are you going?"

That two hundred and five is a drunkard, he has lost his mind, and he doesn't make sense at all, "You don't want to sneak out early, do you? No way! It's hard for us to arrive at the same class. When you two broke up, you didn't eat or drink. Let's drink. Say, are you looking down on us?"

Gu Shen: "..."

Xu Ke: "..."

Brother, go and have a rest when you are drunk, and stop worrying about it.

How can a drunk know to worry?Drunkards only know how to make trouble.

He pulled the two of them back with considerable strength, "Come on, let's have a few more drinks together."

Gu Shen has retired from the world for many years, and has not had the desire to beat others for a long, long time.

Until tonight, he was caught and fed by this idiot who didn't even remember his name. While taking care of this brother's emotions, he also blocked for Xu Ke.

But in fact, these are nothing. He saw the other hand of the drunkard resting on Xu Ke's shoulder, and suddenly thought whether he had washed his hands too early and hadn't left a deep bloody impression on this group of people?

When Gu Shen was thinking about when he would start to attack, Gao Mai, who was very discerning, came over to relieve the drunkard who was dying.

"Brother Shen, Brother Xu, come and play, you two are now missing."

"what?"

Gao Mai: "Truth or Dare."

If Xu Ke hadn't broken up with Gu Shen, if they hadn't been separated for nine years, if he hadn't come back this time to get back together.

Xu Ke would never sit on the sofa at this moment, holding a stupid card in his hand, and accompany him to participate in this stupid game.

In fact, the truth-or-dare game in Class Ten is very simple. One person is dealt two cards, and the person who draws the king card gets another card called a fate card, and the person who draws the same card as the fate card will be punished.

Xu Ke was very lucky, he drew the king card for the first time, and the fate card was the queen of hearts.

"Come, come, who has the other Queen of Hearts?"

"Hurry up, don't play tricks."

This kind of game can be played endlessly in class reunions. Truth or dare, whether listening to gossip or watching people take risks, is very interesting.

Xu Ke subconsciously looked at Gu Shen, and suddenly collided with his sweeping gaze, and could only see the flashing smile in his eyes.

Within two seconds, Deng Xiaoliu tossed the cards in frustration, "Damn it, it's finally my turn. To be honest, if you want to ask any questions, ask them quickly. I'll withdraw after I finish this game."

People around looked at Deng Xiaoliu one after another, a little disappointed with the result.

Deng Xiaoliu finally realized that something was wrong with him, "Why are you doing it? You are very enthusiastic when you ask others. Why are you all so silent when you come here? Is it because you are not charming enough?"

Gao Mai sighed old-fashionedly, "You should reflect on yourself, is there any secret about you that we don't know?"

Deng Xiaoliu: "..." That's right.

So the first round ended sloppily with Xu Ke asking Deng Xiaoliu the total score of the college entrance examination and the provincial ranking.

Deng Xiaoliu, who was like a transparent person in front of Class Ten, walked down crying.

In the second round, Ouhuang was Gao Mai, and Zhang Hao was the one who drew the same card as him.

"Come on, good boy," Gao Mai grinned, "Truth or Dare?"

Zhang Hao sang just now and now his voice is a little hoarse. He always speaks with a girly look, but now he suddenly calmed down, "Let's be honest."

"I know what you want to ask." After being calm for less than three seconds, Zhang Hao smiled, and said calmly, "That's right, I just like men."

"I didn't dare to admit it back then, I was coy, but now I see it. Anyway, my mother and parents don't care, and what other people say is none of my business."

The girls in the private room all applauded, "My good sister is domineering, my good sister is mighty."

"Okay, I'm going to sing with my good sisters." Zhang Hao put down the cards and jumped off the sofa happily.

Gao Mai shrank his neck belatedly, and asked: "Fuck, you didn't have unreasonable thoughts about me back then, did you? Good boy, I'm a straight man of steel."

Zhang Hao stopped, turned back immediately and chased Gao Mai, "Look at you, can my old lady like you?"

Gao Mai was chased and ran all over the field, begging for mercy.

Everyone burst out laughing, and Xu Ke finally showed a faint smile.

He was very envious of Zhang Hao, and as time passed, he finally had the courage to speak out.

But he is different, in that messy past, coming out of the closet is also an old scar that cannot be touched, and it is shockingly scratched on the tip of a person's heart.

Gao Mai is tall and strong, and Zhang Hao is weak. The two fought for a while, but due to the huge disparity in physical strength, they finally made a peaceful truce.

Zhang Hao stood at the same spot, took a careful look at Xu Ke, and said, "I liked Brother Xu's style back then. Look at the difference between the two of you. How could my mother like you?"

Xu Ke, lying on the ground for no reason: "..."

Gao Mai, who knew everything, looked carefully at his brother Shen's face.

Well, it's okay, I just squinted my eyes.

In the third round, the king card was Xu Ke again, and the destiny card was the K of spades.

Gu Shen turned over the cards with a smile, and spread out the king of spades on the table. Cheers immediately erupted from the surroundings. It was quite sensational, and everyone looked this way.

Gu Shen smiled gently, "To be honest, what do you want to ask? Ask."

Xu Ke tightly held the king card in his hand, then raised his eyes from it to look at Gu Shen.He clenched it tightly, looked deeply, and asked after a while: "How many girlfriends have you dated?"

Gu Shen was stunned for a moment, then he curled his lips and smiled lazily, as if he didn't care too much, "Two."

"But it's not a girlfriend, it's a boyfriend."
