Catch the wind

In the early morning of the first day of the Lunar New Year, Gu Xiongfei and Ye Xueshan got all dressed up and prepared to take the train to Peiping.Before leaving, Ye Xueshan wandered around the building, collected a lot of leftover canned snacks, and poured them all into a big iron basin.Staggeringly, he brought this pot of mishmash into the concierge, and he kicked the big yellow dog's ass again: "From today on, you will eat this, save some, and someone will come back on the fifth day of the lunar new year, so you eat it early If it’s gone, you’ll be starving later, don’t you know?”

The big yellow dog gave a "woo" and looked up at him eagerly.And because Gu Xiongfei ate another meal of cold canned food in the morning, he fell into the temper of the pampered young master and became impatient from time to time.Hearing Ye Xueshan talking to the dog in the concierge, he stood in the courtyard with a suitcase in his hand, and sneered and asked loudly, "Are you going?"

Ye Xueshan turned around and walked out of the porter, straightened his hands and put on his hat: "Let's go, let's go."

Gu Xiongfei frowned two thick eyebrows: "Go and wash your hands! Are you going to leave immediately after feeding the dog?"

Ye Xueshan looked down at his hands: "Hands are not dirty."

Gu Xiongfei's stomach is bloated, hungry and cold, and there is no comfort from head to toe. If there is a subordinate adjutant in front of him, he would have been slapped away by him.Vigorously waving his hand to the side, he spoke concisely this time, as if spitting at someone, he only said one word: "Go!"

Ye Xueshan sighed, and ran all the way to wash his hands.

On the first day of the new year, the train station was silent, and the carriages were also empty.The two spent the journey quietly, because they woke up early to catch the train, so they were silent all the way, just sleeping.When I arrived at Gu's house in peace, it was a New Year's atmosphere when I entered the door. Ye Xueshan saw it in his eyes and was very happy in his heart, thinking that he didn't come in vain, this place is really ten thousand times more lively than home.

The old and young servants of Gu's house had already received a telegram saying that the uncle would definitely go home during the Chinese New Year, so the steward made arrangements in advance to decorate the house joyfully.The person next to Gu Xiongfei didn't have time to say anything, so he asked the kitchen to open a table for dinner immediately.But after a while, the delicious food and dishes were served, Gu Xiongfei and Ye Xueshan sat down, eating without lifting their heads, they all looked like extremely hungry gluttons.When the two of them had enough to eat and drink, Ye Xueshan was fine, but Gu Xiongfei calmed down a lot, his thick eyebrows were wrinkled all the way, and now he is smiling slightly.Looking up at Ye Xueshan in front, he was about to speak when a servant came in and announced, "Master, the young master of the Duan family is here."

Gu Xiongfei didn't even have time to change his clothes, he hurried out to entertain guests.Ye Xueshan quietly picked up the suitcase and went upstairs to the guest room with ease.On the first day of the new year, it was the time of New Year's greetings, if he showed up at Gu's house, it would have no other effect except to embarrass Gu Xiongfei.Instead of this, it is better to hide and enjoy a few days of happiness.

The young master of the Duan family is a lively person, chatting and laughing downstairs can be heard upstairs.Gu Xiongfei chatted with him for a while, then went upstairs and took off his military uniform and changed into casual clothes, and followed the young master of the Duan family to Duan's mansion to pay New Year greetings to old general Duan.After watching Old General Duan, Gu Xiongfei still couldn't be free - he didn't know how he had so many uncles, some were powerful, some were down and out, it wouldn't be good to neglect any of them.After running around the city of Beiping all afternoon, he didn't go home until it was dark.

As soon as he entered, a servant came up to ask if dinner was open.Gu Xiongfei took off his thick woolen coat, raised his hand and pointed upwards: "Has he eaten?"

The servant replied: "Master Ye has already eaten."

Gu Xiongfei nodded, then went upstairs noncommittally.

Gently pushing open the door of the guest room, Gu Xiongfei looked inside, but he couldn't help but laugh.It turned out that Ye Xueshan had already changed into pajamas, not only was he leaning against the head of the bed half-lying and half-sitting, he even raised his legs proudly.With a magazine in one hand and the other in a sugar dish by the bed, he hummed a tune and swayed one bare foot to time.

Walking in with big strides, Gu Xiongfei asked, "You're doing well!"

Ye Xueshan was startled, and immediately put his legs down: "Brother is back?"

Gu Xiongfei closed the door casually, then walked to the bed and leaned down: "Why do you look one way when you are behind my back, and another when you see me? Do you still have a relationship with me?"

Ye Xueshan lowered his head, slowly scribbled on the pages of the magazine with his fingers, and replied at the same time: "It's not a birth..."

Gu Xiongfei raised his hand to touch his hair: "What is that?

Ye Xueshan glanced at him slowly, but he was actually caught off guard and was dumbfounded by his question.This glance was dull and slanted, looking at him furtively, not frivolously, but with enough strength and meaning, at the same time dazed and tentative, it was the appearance of oneself having no idea and completely listening to Gu Xiongfei.

When Gu Xiongfei saw him like this, he suddenly starved to death, and he had to swallow him alive.The cold nose tip and lips touched the itchy flesh under his ears, and he immediately shuddered greatly in Gu Xiongfei's embrace.

Gu Xiongfei didn't spare Ye Xueshan lightly, and exerted all his strength on the bed.Because Ye Xueshan was clear-headed, he was very shameless, hugging a pillow and saying nothing.However, at the last moment, the fluffy pillow was not enough to hug him, so he threw off the pillow angrily, and then hugged Gu Xiongfei upwards.After all, the flesh is stronger than the pillow, his whole body tightened, and he felt extremely happy as if electrified.

After the spring breeze passed, Gu Xiongfei still hugged Ye Xueshan and couldn't kiss enough, but after Ye Xueshan took a breath, he struggled to climb to the bedside, wanting to burn two mouthfuls of opium smoke.

Gu Xiongfei lay on the back, feeling very disappointed.After a long silence, he couldn't bear it anymore and opened his mouth: "Can I quit?"

Then he waited for Ye Xueshan to refute himself with words such as "can afford it", but unexpectedly Ye Xueshan replied softly without turning his head: "My business has not been going well recently, and I have no intention of quitting."

Gu Xiongfei was stunned for a moment, but unexpectedly he changed his tone without warning.Standing up and climbing forward, he pressed his chest against Ye Xueshan's back: "If the business goes well, are you willing to quit?"

Ye Xueshan replied: "If I forcefully quit, I still can't quit. But I can go to the hospital to ask and see what the doctor says."

Gu Xiongfei came to his spirits: "If you want to quit as soon as possible! Rehabilitation is not a trivial matter, you need someone to take care of you. I will either go to Weihai or Qingdao after the next year, and I will always be with you when I don't have time."

Ye Xueshan said: "You go your way, if I want to quit, I will go to the hospital to quit."

Gu Xiongfei asked again: "Why did you suddenly figure it out? Isn't it life and death?"

Ye Xueshan squinted his eyes and let out an "ah": "Because you're nagging! You talk when you meet, talk when you meet, I'm too lazy to argue with you all the time. One day I really quit, and my ears will be quiet."

Having said that, he pushed the bong away, turned around and faced Gu Xiongfei's chest.I haven't smoked enough, but I won't smoke, and we'll talk about it at night.Gu Xiongfei stared at him from behind covetously, causing him to be clumsy, and he couldn't even burn the cigarette bubbles.

Gu's house is very lively during the New Year, there are always guests from morning till night.Ye Xueshan hid in the guest room quietly, and lived comfortably for a few days.

Gu Xiongfei asked him to go to sleep in his room at night, but he refused because he was still waiting for his opium addiction at night.Gu Xiongfei wanted to move here, but he refused.Gu Xiongfei became anxious, pinched his nose and poured him half a bottle of wine.He lay down on the bed angrily, feeling that the other party disrespected him too much.

After lying down for less than half an hour, he clung to Gu Xiongfei's body and became a monkey, unable to drive away or shake off.Gu Xiongfei sat cross-legged on the bed, teasing him for half the night.While teasing, I secretly expressed emotion, thinking that this thing is still drunk and cute.I remember that when the two first met, Ye Xueshan had such a heartless and lively energy.At that time, he was influenced by his mother, and he was very hostile and contemptuous of the small mansion in Tianjin. However, his father was so bold that he actually took him to Tianjin in the name of visiting relatives. His father and he were the two donkeys of the Gu family, as the saying goes. A mountain cannot accommodate two tigers, and a family cannot accommodate two stubborn donkeys.Mr. Gu has always been unfriendly to him in a business-like manner, but it turned out that his intentions were obviously unpredictable that day. After arriving in Tianjin, he first took him to a luxurious restaurant, and then handed him the menu amiably.He ordered a few dishes out of nowhere, and was about to hand the menu to the waiter, but Mr. Gu said, "Add some more, and I'll call the little boy over!"

When Gu Xiongfei heard it, he understood everything.Mr. Gu is like a tiger and a donkey at home. No one can restrain him except Mrs. Gu.When he treated his two sons, he always called them by their first names, talked about things when they had something to do, and ignored them when they had nothing to do.Only when he mentioned Tianjin Xiaogongguan did his tone soften. The third child was not called the third child, but Xiao Zaier, as if Ye Xueshan had always been a baby.

When Mr. Gu made a phone call, Ye Xueshan really came. His appearance was between that of a half-grown child and a young man. When he saw Gu Xiongfei with a smile, he called him big brother.Gu Xiongfei faced each other coldly, feeling that he had been tricked by his father and became a traitor to his mother.Mr. Gu gave Ye Xueshan a dish with chopsticks, and in order to show fairness, he awkwardly gave the eldest son a dish with chopsticks.While eating and drinking, Gu Xiongfei gave Ye Xueshan a sideways glance. For some reason, he really wanted to grab the other's slender neck, squeeze hard and let out a scream.

Gu Xiongfei is a forward-looking person, and rarely looks back on the past; but now thinking of the scene back then, he feels a lot of emotion.Ye Xueshan leaned against his chest, her face was flushed, and she couldn't help pressing her hands to his lips.So he took the other's hand and bit it gently with his teeth.

Time flies, and the fifth day of the Lunar New Year has passed in a blink of an eye.Ye Xueshan was still idle, but Gu Xiongfei received a long-distance call from General Shen, asking him to pack up and prepare to leave for Weihai.Gu Xiongfei knew that General Shen relied heavily on him, so he didn't dare to neglect him.

Since he wants to leave, Ye Xueshan has no need to live any longer.The two returned to Tianjin together, because both of them were sober when they parted, so they had nothing to say.After looking at each other in silence for a long time, finally Gu Xiongfei reached out and rubbed Ye Xueshan's short hair: "Let's go!"

Ye Xueshan smiled at him: "Yes."

Gu Xiongfei went straight to Shen's mansion, and when Ye Xueshan returned home, he found that the servants had returned one after another, and the big yellow dog hadn't starved to death.

After spending a few days leisurely and lonely, it was time for the company to start work.There was not even a shadow of the Golden Crane Pavilion, and Mr. Hardy did not know which continent he had gone to, so Ye Xueshan had to go to the company alone to arrange affairs.Unexpectedly, when he arrived at the company after ten o'clock in the morning, there was no one inside or outside.There was an almanac hanging on the wall, he walked over there inexplicably and took a closer look at the date, and found that he was right, the New Year's holiday was indeed over.

Finally, he found a worker who boiled water downstairs, and asked, "Has no one been here today?"

The worker slapped his head: "Oh, Manager Ye, look at my memory, I forgot." As he spoke, he found an envelope and gave it to Ye Xueshan: "Yesterday, someone in the company gave me a letter, asking me to Pass it on to you."

Ye Xueshan took the envelope suspiciously, tore it open and pulled out a piece of rough letter paper.Unfolding it to browse through it, his face immediately changed - this turned out to be a resignation letter!

At the end of the letter, there were a row of signatures, big and small, all of them were big guys with heads and faces!
