Mu Chen

77, white hair

By the time Mu Chen tidied up, Yu Yong had already wrapped his arms around his waist and leaned on his shoulders for a while. Both of them looked at the mirror, where there were two smiling faces close to each other. It was really quiet for a while.

Mu Chen noticed that Yu Yong's eyes were blue and his eyes were swollen, "What time did you wake up in the morning, look at your eyes, did you not sleep well?"

Yu Yong rubbed against his face, "I'm so handsome even if I haven't slept well!"

Mu Chen rolled his eyes, "It's not enough to make you torment, eat in the morning, go to bed again, I'll make lunch and call you."

Yu Yong stared at Mu Chen in the mirror, raised his eyebrows, "Brother, you still want to cook, it seems that I didn't work hard enough yesterday."

Muchen...

Seeing that he stopped talking, Yu Yong smirked again, "Hey... When I was running in the morning, I bought tofu nao and steamed buns, and asked my aunt to cook millet porridge. Brother, can you go down and eat? Or I serve it to you?"

Mu Chen was taken aback, "Just buy me some porridge, you've already bought a bunch of breakfast, why do you let your aunt cook porridge, they still don't know what to think."

Yu Yong was also taken aback, "What's the matter with asking my aunt to cook porridge? I said I wanted to drink the porridge at home, and she said she cooked it. The porridge outside is very thin. Didn't you never buy it before? Do you add alkali to the paste?"

Speaking of this, I became confused, "Brother, what is the situation at home? Why do you feel weird?"

Muchen's heart trembled, he didn't want Yu Yong to think too much, Yu Yong's job was too dangerous, although they were always honest, he didn't want him to be distracted.

Thinking of this, he said lightly, "Your aunt, you know, it's too much. She stares at the parents and the west all day and makes irresponsible remarks. I don't want her to feel that we have to pay for her to wait on her." Everyone?"

Yu Yong, "I have to hire someone again for so many things. Brother, I have a salary and a subsidy now. We have nowhere to spend it. I have saved it for the past two years. This time I brought the card back. Look at it again. Change someone."

Muchen deliberately smiled narrowly, "Is this handing in wages? It seems like I won't be able to accept it."

Yu Yong was distracted and laughed, "Yeah, isn't he coming back to pay his wife's wages? This man is too pitiful. He has to pay public food and wages."

Mu Chen laughed angrily, turned around and hugged Yu Yong, and patted his butt twice with one hand, "I'm looking for smoke, Yu Xiaoyong, you're a man, you can't, I'll pay you the ration at night."

Yu Yong also hugged Mu Chen with a smile, "Brother, can't you, you can't start domestic violence on me as soon as you get out of bed."

The two smirked and hugged for a while, Yu Yong was the first to let go, "Brother, let's go eat."

Mu Chen changed his slippers before going out, Yu Yong looked disgusted, "Brother, don't you still have to wear slippers when you go downstairs? Are you tired of changing?"

Muchen, "...get used to it."

In fact, it was because Mu Chen disliked Lin Hong a little. He was sloppy and often brought his grandson with him. The children ate and drank messily, and the floor of the house would get sticky from time to time. When I see it, I will let her clean it up, but sometimes I simply don't change the shoes.

Today the downstairs is still tidy, Lin Lan is massaging on the massage chair, Lin Hong is knitting a small sweater and watching TV.

After Mu Chen said hello, he asked about Lin Lan's walk in the morning. Yu Yong had already served two bowls of porridge, served with mixed vegetables, steamed buns and the beef tendon that he hadn't finished eating yesterday.

Last night's dishes were not big, and the food was almost eaten. Mu Chen never let the family eat overnight dishes, so when packing up yesterday, everything was poured out except for the lo mei.

Beef tendon is Yu Yong's favorite, but yesterday's one was small, weighing nearly two catties, and there were a lot of vegetables, so there was still a lot left.

Yu Yong had already had breakfast, but Mu Chen agreed to eat some more with him.

Mu Chen saw that the dishes served were all cold, so he turned on the fire and steamed them over water, "The beef can be eaten cold, but it's better to heat it when it's cold. Your stomach has never been very good, and I don't know if it's better now." Not at all, you don’t have time when you’re so busy, it’s probably suspended..."

Yu Yong looked at him thinking about it, as if he was back when he was a child. He was obviously not a talkative person, but when he met him, he always hesitated and nagged endlessly... This feeling was too warm, and he didn't want to refute it at all. .

It didn't snow today, but the sky was cloudy, and it was the first floor again. The light in the room was dim, and when the water vapor overflowed, the person standing by the fire softened, just like his heart at this moment.

Looking at it, I can't help but think of last night, Mu Chen was so tired that he fell asleep first, but he couldn't sleep for a long time because of the excitement that hadn't calmed down - he finally really owned this person, after hurting him like that, he really He has been forgiven and accepted, what can he do?

In the dim light of the smallest light on the bedside lamp, he stared at this person, the person he loved the most, and the person who loved him the most.

Although the fundus of the eyes is blue, the lips are purple, and there are fine wrinkles at the corners of the eyes, but in his eyes, they are still beautiful.

After looking at it for a long time, Yu Yong unexpectedly discovered that Mu Chen's temples were glowing with a little silver light. He turned on the light, propped up his body, and gently brushed his hair away. Only then did he realize that not only the temples, but also a few spots on the top of his head. White hair roots.

My brother has so many gray hairs!

Yu Yong was stunned for a moment, and his propped up body did not move for a long time, until he saw a drop of water falling on Mu Chen's cheek, and he realized that it was his own tears.

Mu Chen was disturbed by the light source and the water droplets, he retracted his head into the quilt and continued to sleep.

Yu Yong turned off the light, and dug Mu Chen out of the quilt into his arms.

The naked, warm body pressed against each other tightly, Yu Yong opened his eyes, until something got into his left eye and blinked, he realized that it was the tears from his own right eye that flowed in, together with the tears from his left eye. overflowed.

Growing up watching Lin Lan's tears grow up, he despises such weak and useless things the most, but at this moment, they pour out uncontrollably, and when they roll down, they form a line again, and quietly wet the pillow towel in the middle of the night.

Yu Yong still clearly remembered that Mu Wen's hair was always black until his death.Needless to say, Yang Li left a long time ago, and Mu Chen is only 28 years old this year.

He always knew that Mu Chen was kind to him, but every time he would find that it was more and better than what he knew, how could he repay it?How do you deserve it?

At this moment, Yu Yong thought that he finally understood what it was like to "I can't wait to take my heart out" written in the book.

He knew that he could do everything for him, live for him, die for him, without hesitation.

Muchen didn't hear Yu Yong's voice, and only turned around to see that this person was looking at him without blinking.

The tall and handsome man had a loving expression on his face, his eyes were focused, and he didn't dodge or avoid it.

Mu Chen blushed unknowingly, while complaining about himself in his heart, he couldn't help being sweet at the same time being stared at by a brat at his age.

After dinner, Yu Yong said that he would go upstairs to play on the computer, and then take a nap. He planned to visit his classmates in the afternoon and would not come back for dinner at night.

Mu Chen also said that he ate breakfast too late, he lost his appetite at noon, so he went straight to work in the afternoon, so there was no need to leave him a meal.He gets off work at nine o'clock.

Although Lin Lan was a little bit reluctant, she always had a guilty conscience that she dared not mention to Yu Yong.In addition, Yu Yong has grown up now, and his temperament is cold and hard. Even if he comes back to be close and soft to her this time, alienation is inevitable.

She is a sensitive person, so she can tell the difference naturally, so she doesn't stop her anymore.

The two went upstairs again, and as soon as they entered, Yu Yong pushed Mu Chen into the bedroom, "Brother, why don't you go to sleep again, aren't you also on duty during the Chinese New Year? Please take an annual leave for a few days."

Mu Chen took off his clothes again and pulled off the quilt to go to bed, "If you ask for annual leave, you need to say hello in advance. Besides, there are many people on annual leave. The emergency department is always full of carrots and holes, and it can't be like other departments. Patients who are not urgent can spend the holidays." Let’s take it again, our patients come without delay.”

Seeing that Yu Yong was a little depressed, he laughed again, "Everyone will take turns to take a few days off during the Chinese New Year, and the manpower will be even tighter. I'm single, and I always have to take care of my family, so I don't have a vacation."

In fact, besides the reason that Mu Chen didn't ask for leave, Yu Yong's family visit was too sudden, and he didn't have time to prepare in advance.

After he returned to Y City, Lin Lan stayed in the hospital twice, and his annual leave was used to accompany him.

Since the second half of last year, Lin Lan's situation has improved, and all indicators are stable until now.He originally wanted to use this year's vacation to drive her out to relax, and if her physical condition allows, he could also visit Yu Yong, but it goes without saying.

Yu Yong also took off his clothes in twos and got into the bed, "Brother, you sleep again, I will rub it for you."

Muchen turned his back to Yu Yong, and Yu Yong pressed on his waist.

For a while, no one spoke, and no one wanted to break the warm atmosphere.

Yu Yong didn't have many friends since childhood except Mu Chen, and Mu Chen didn't like being touched by others.

Two patients with advanced skin hunger and thirst, like two small animals, cuddled together to keep warm in the cold winter.

After a while, Mu Chen was a little confused, and suddenly heard Yu Yong say, "Brother, I want to come back." This was his sleepless night last night, and he finally made up his mind.

Mu Chen froze for a moment, and his mind instantly cleared up. He turned around and looked at Yu Yong, "Didn't you agree to take the military academy exam?"

Yu Yong still put his arm around Mu Chen, pressing behind him, "I have passed both exams, although I am not old enough, but in the future I will at most apply for recommendation for admission, but there must be certain prerequisites. .”

Mu Chen stroked his cheek, "Do you want me to ask Senior Brother Gu for help? Not to mention applying for a recommendation, but just giving you a chance to sign up. This is probably not a big problem."

Yu Yong shook his head, "Brother, you know, I just didn't go to high school, and my foundation in cultural subjects is too poor. I have read the test papers over the years, and I am not sure that I will pass the exam."

Muchen's thumb lightly stroked his eyes, "Xiaoyong, as long as you want to learn, the army is the best place. It was expedient to send you to be a soldier at that time, but it was not wrong. You grew up in the army. , and learned a lot, didn’t you say that the army is the most suitable for you? Although the current brigade is hard and dangerous, you still like it very much, I know.”

Yu Yong, "..."

Mu Chen's voice was low and gentle, "My baby is essentially a hero who fights against violence, so even though I worry sometimes, I won't persuade you to retire from the army. When you are young, you must live as you want and do what you want to do , to be the person I expected, I think it's worth it."

Yu Yong, "..."

Muchen, "Before you said that you wanted to enter the military academy because you could go a long way in the army, wouldn't that be great? You read the book for several years, why didn't you give it a try?"

Yu Yong, "Brother, I..."

Muchen stroked his shoulder, and pulled the quilt up for him, "It's okay if you don't want to take the exam. You have heavy tasks now, and you really have difficulties in studying. Then work hard in the current brigade."

Yu Yong was a little choked up, "But you"

Mu Chen put his index finger on his lips, "Do what you want to do, become who you want to be, Xiaoyong, there are only a few years in your twenties, don't regret it later. You must know that the most useless words in this world are' Could've been."

Having said that, he put Yu Yong's hand on his chest, "Remember you still have me, I am here, I will not go away, it will always be your retreat."

Yu Yong felt that his worthless eye sockets were red again, thinking of the white roots of Mu Chen's hair, his heart was extremely sour.

Mu Chen felt Yu Yong's restlessness, and pinched the boy's earlobe, "The family is fine now, wait a few years, ten years, and you can come back and help me when I can't do anything, okay?"

Yu Yong...

Mu Chen looked at the boy with red eyes, propped up his body and pressed against him, looked at him, then bent down and kissed him lightly.

Forehead, cheeks, nose tip, chin.

A kiss without any desire, just like those nights after Yu Yong was beaten and injured when they were young.

Warm and pitiful.

Yu Yong buried his head in Mu Chen's arms. He felt that he had grown up and was strong and powerful. No one would want to hit him again. Not only could he protect himself and his people well, but he could also do many great things.

But why at this moment he is still inexplicably wronged like a child, and this thin man is still holding him with both hands and protecting him, just like before.
