seven years later

When Xiao Yu left, the house became even more empty. Qi Hui sat on the balcony floor, opened the window wide, and the howling dry and cold wind came in from outside. Ye called, feeling anxious, Gu Ye picked up the phone, and Qi Hui said in a hoarse voice, "Let's meet."

Gu Ye couldn't bear to refuse, Qi Hui knew that.

When Gu Ye went out, there were snowflakes, thinly scattered on his shoulders. It turned out to be deep winter, and in a few months, when the spring blossoms, he and Qian Wei will be the eighth year.

Qi Hui asked Gu Ye to meet at home, he didn't want to say some boring polite words in a public place, as if he was sentenced.Qi Hui asked Gu Ye to come to his home, at least it would be warmer here.

Qi Hui stood at the entrance of the community with an umbrella and waited for Gu Ye, watching him get off from the bus stop. From a distance, Qi Hui felt that Gu Ye was smiling at him, so Qi Hui ran forward and slapped Gu Ye Umbrella blamed him somewhat:

"Why don't you open an umbrella?"

Gu Ye patted himself on the shoulder and said, "The snow isn't that big, so what's the point?"

Qi Hui was startled, put away the umbrella with a smirk, and thought to himself: Right, what are you hypocritical? In his opinion, many things he did probably fall into the category of hypocrisy.

Gu Ye put on the doraemon slippers that Qi Hui specially prepared for him again, Gu Ye raised his head and said with a smile:

"Thank you."

Qi Hui pretended not to hear, and quickly walked into the kitchen, took out a few cans of beer from the refrigerator and put them on the coffee table, saying:

"Come have a few drinks with me."

Still the same sentence: Qi Hui knew that Gu Ye would not refuse.

Gu Ye sat on the sofa, looked around and asked:

"Is the child not there?"

"Well, I have nothing to do with him."

"Qi Hui, you..."

Qi Hui opened the beer, and Gu Ye was interrupted by the sound of bubbles, Qi Hui handed the beer to Gu Ye, Gu Ye didn't ask any more, took it, and asked:

"What are we going to talk about?"

Qi Hui raised his neck and gulped down the beer. Gu Ye saw his Adam's apple sliding up and down, and became more and more uncomfortable, and the hand holding the beer became cold.Qi Hui glanced at Gu Ye, who was in a state of panic, feeling blocked in his heart. He changed his position on the sofa and sat down next to Gu Ye. Gu Ye had a drink together.

The film was pierced, and the physical contact became awkward and intolerable, Gu Ye raised his hand and pushed Qi Hui away like an electric shock, the can in his hand flew out, dousing Qi Hui's body and head with beer.

Gu Ye immediately stood up, ran to the bathroom to get a towel, Qi Hui was still sitting there motionless, with a little more sadness in his eyes, looked at Gu Ye who kept a few steps away from him, and asked:

"You know I kissed you that time."

Gu Ye pursed his lips and said, "I was drunk that time, so I thought you were joking."

Qi Hui didn't accept the towel that Gu Ye handed over, and still leaned on the sofa to drink beer. The two were deadlocked for a few seconds before Qi Hui said, "I've always been a joke with you."

Gu Ye wanted to defend, but many words were stuck in his throat, and it became difficult to open his mouth, so he said after a long time:

"Qi Hui, it's impossible for us. I never thought about separating from Qian Wei, and I can't. I don't deserve you for me...Qi Hui, live well, or I will die of guilt."

After Gu Ye finished speaking, he put the towel on the armrest of the sofa beside Qi Hui, then walked to the door, changed his doraemon slippers, arranged them neatly, took off his coat, and reached out to open the door.

In an instant, Gu Ye heard the hurried footsteps behind him, and Qi Hui rushed to Gu Ye with red eyes, but before he could react, Qi Hui tore off Gu Ye's coat, threw it violently on the ground, grabbed Gu Ye's wrist and dragged him back. In the room, Gu Ye opened his eyes wide, broke Qi Hui's hand, was also anxious, and shouted:

"Qi Hui, you are crazy, let go!"

Qi Hui was really crazy, he grabbed Gu Ye even more forcefully, dragged him into the bedroom, slammed the door, threw Gu Ye onto the bed, and then bullied himself onto him.

Expectation, hope, compromise, the days of wandering around Gu Ye before, have been repeated like this, until just now, when Gu Ye threw him a sentence of "have a good time", Qi Hui felt that after the infinite cycle, finally welcome Here comes despair.

How cruel you are, you are living a good life, but how do you want me to live a good life, have you ever experienced the distance between so close and so far away?For you, it's just a blank check, but for me, it's a waste of youth and effort.

I was tortured to the point of old age by you, just waiting for your understatement of "have a good time".

At that moment, when he heard Gu Ye's door opening, Qi Hui felt that he had completely collapsed. If he didn't keep him now, he would leave forever.

Qi Hui pressed Gu Ye's leg with his knees, held his wrist with both hands, and kissed him. Gu Ye became anxious and used all his strength to break away from Qi Hui. The unilateral force turned into a fight between two men. Qi Hui's red eyes became terrifying, Gu Ye kicked Qi Hui away, and his knee hit Qi Hui's abdomen, Qi Hui bent over in pain, Gu Ye took the opportunity to jump up and ran to the door, just as his hand touched the doorknob, but Being held by Qi Hui's waist again, Qi Hui took advantage of the situation to cut Gu Ye back, and threw him back on the bed. Now the situation became clear, Gu Ye was completely scared, what if something happened, what if...

Gu Ye suddenly let go of his strength, and there was a slight pain in his arms that were cut backwards. Gu Ye looked at Qi Hui, who had become hideous in front of him, and his nose suddenly became sore. Gu Ye whispered with a trembling voice:

"Qi Hui, do you have to make me hate you?"

After Gu Ye finished speaking, Qi Hui turned his face away, and Qi Hui was also stunned, still maintaining the posture of pressing Gu Ye. After a long stalemate, Qi Hui said:

"It's not bad for you to hate me, and we're even."

After finishing speaking, he kissed Gu Ye's side neck lightly, the kiss was too soft, Gu Ye turned his face tremblingly, Qi Hui glared at him, Qi Hui stroked Gu Ye's face, forced a smile, and said:

"Gu Ye, are you afraid? Are you afraid of me, or are you afraid you won't be able to explain to Qian Wei?"

"Qi Hui, I don't want to hate you."

Qi Hui lay on Gu Ye's body, and also took off the force that restrained Gu Ye, just lying on his body, buried in Gu Ye's nest.

Time just stood still, and Gu Ye felt his shoulders getting wet gradually.

Qi Hui got up and let go of Gu Ye, and helped him up. Gu Ye pursed his lips tightly, but Qi Hui smiled and said:

"Won't you slap me?"

Gu Ye didn't speak, Qi Hui put a coat on him, and sent him to the door, saying:

"Don't be so heartless in the future. If I were more ruthless, you would lose your virginity by now."

"Don't be so soft-tempered. Whoever bullies you will bully you back, even Qian Wei."

"Being is always stupid, worry about this and that, and treat yourself better."

"Don't eat so many fried dough sticks in the morning."

"Find more things to do on your own, don't get tired of hanging around Qian Wei every day."

"Don't be in a hurry to change clothes in spring."

"Don't eat so much hot pot, it's too hot."

……

Just standing at the door, one inside and one outside, Qi Hui babbled so much that Gu Ye's eyes were wet. Gu Ye couldn't think of a word of thanks or apology, but Qi Hui stopped , smiled at Gu Ye, and said:

"I was impulsive just now, sorry. You go back."

After speaking, Qi Hui closed the door, blocking the sight of the two of them.

The snow was still falling, and there was a layer of fluff on his body. Gu Ye stood downstairs in his house, watching the warm light shining from above, wiped his eyes, and went upstairs.

Qian Wei opened the door for him, saw Gu Ye who was wet all over, didn't ask anything, told him to change his coat quickly, Yang Yang threw himself on Gu Ye's lap, and then quickly jumped away, pouted and said dissatisfiedly:

"Dad, you are so cold."

Gu Ye smiled and stroked Yang Yang's hair. Yang Yang ran to fetch a big red flower that the kindergarten teacher gave him today. The tender voice of a child reported how the teacher praised him. Gu Ye took Yang Yang's big red flower. Red flowers, the red rice paper made a soft sound, Gu Ye sniffed, and shouted at Qian Wei who was shaking the spoon in the kitchen:

"Yangyang got the big red flower, what delicious food did his father make!"

Qian Wei looked back at him and said, "Sweet and sour fish."

Yang Yang loves to eat, and Gu Ye also loves to eat.

When sleeping at night, Qian Wei hugged Gu Ye, and Gu Ye told Qian Wei about Qi Hui's time, but Gu Ye only said that Qi Hui had made it clear to him, and Gu Ye didn't mention anything else.

Qian Wei responded without commenting, but Gu Ye felt relieved.

But after Gu Ye fell asleep, Qian Wei turned on the bedside lamp, stroked Gu Ye's bruised wrist, his eyes sharpened, then took out Gu Ye's phone, deleted Qi Hui's number, and added it to the blacklist.

Gu Ye couldn't bear it anymore, so he helped him.

Qian Wei is not a person who plays tricks in secret. When Gu Ye woke up the next day, Qian Wei told Gu Ye that Gu Ye was holding his mobile phone. It felt like he had lost something and wanted to get it back. Come, but can't find it.

Gu Ye didn't refute, and defaulted to Qian Wei's approach.

Gu Ye knew that the relationship between himself and Qian Wei had taken a lot of energy to maintain until today, but it was always easy to destroy it. Gu Ye didn't dare to think, if Qi Hui was more crazy yesterday, how it would end.

They are all clean freaks, let those potential threats disappear.

Qi Hui's number has been saved in Gu Ye's phone for many years, but no matter how long it takes, he still can't remember the eleven digits. It takes so much time and effort to know someone, understand someone, and fall in love with someone. Energy is always easy to lose.

He didn't have the heart to say it to him, and he didn't have the heart to say it to him:

We are never in contact with each other.

After that day, Qi Hui disappeared from Gu Ye's life, and only Yang Yang would ask Uncle Qi why he didn't come to play with him at first, but after a long time, even Yang Yang stopped asking.

The big bear that Qi Hui gave is still in Yangyang's room, but no one mentioned this person anymore.

Gu Ye felt that his life had become quiet.

Zhang Liu, who is far away abroad, occasionally calls to report that he is safe, but he still plays around carelessly, and the photos sent show that male partners change frequently.

Long Er would come over for dinner on weekends and cook with them. Yang Yang would grab his hair and scream every time he saw Long Er cutting vegetables with a kitchen knife, and then giggled.Long Er, who is not entangled by octopus, is quiet and gloomy.

Boss Xie’s bar has been sold, and the new owner has a new signboard and new decoration. Gu Ye has no interest in stepping in to have a look. Come and sit with a few bottles of good wine.

Gu Ye went back to visit Wen Jiang every month, and the thin Wen Jiang still smiled at him.Wen Jiang, continue to watch in this narrow space.

Some people's stories Gu Ye knows very well, some people's stories, Gu Ye has no way of knowing, nor does he have the courage.

Sometimes, he is willing to be a turtle, only watching his own happiness.
