swig

The smoke in the hall was heavy, and people at several tables were puffing.Gu Zhi glanced outside through the door, then turned around and asked Jiang Chu, "Can I go?"

"I can go, but I have to wait for a while." Everyone in the box left, and suddenly became quiet at this moment, and Jiang Chu finally came back to his senses.

When he raised his head, he saw Gu Zhi pull up a chair and sit beside him.

Jiang Chu's hand was stained with a little wine, and when he was about to wipe it on the hem of his clothes, he saw the person next to him move.

Gu Zhi took out two paper towels and planned to hand them to him, but found that Jiang Chu didn't intend to reach out to take them, so he wiped them for him. The temperature spread through the paper towels, and he saw Jiang Chu's fingers curled up.

Gu Zhi rolled up the tissue and threw it into the trash can next to it.Ask him, "Going to the bathroom?"

Jiang Chu shook his head, Gu Zhi wanted to say why should you drink if you can't.

But thinking about how Jiang Chu was not a reasonable person when he was sober, and now he is like this—forget it.

He sat quietly with Jiang Chu for a while.

Jiang Chu didn't drink too much, but he was very hot. The fine sweat on his forehead kept dripping down, and his ears were still as bloody as the setting sun. He half closed his eyes, and there were deep ripples in his eyes.

It makes people feel inexplicably unbearable.

He reckoned that Jiang Chu might have to rest for another ten minutes, and was about to go to the pharmacy next door to buy some hangover medicine, but when he got up, Jiang Chu grabbed the hem of his clothes.

"What are you doing?" Jiang Chu raised his head, opened his eyes this time, and asked him directly.

This look made Gu Zhi a little helpless, he lowered his voice and explained: "I'll go next door and buy you some hangover medicine, I'll be back soon."

Jiang Chu said very seriously: "I didn't drink too much, so don't use hangover medicine."

Gu Zhi: "..."

He only thought that Jiang Chu didn't like the hangover candy last time, so he patiently explained: "It's not candy anymore."

Jiang Chu said, "I don't take medicine."

Gu Zhi took a closer look at his expression, wanting to see if he had drunk too much, but after watching for a long time, he couldn't tell whether he was real or just pretending.

Come on, you drunkard, you're the biggest.

The water in the glass had bottomed out, and when Gu Zhi was about to get up again, Jiang Chu stopped him again.

Gu Zhi said angrily, "I'll get you some water. One minute."

"Oh" Jiang Chu responded, lowered his head again, and followed Gu Zhi within two steps.

"Why are you following me?" Gu Zhi was afraid that he would bump into the chair, so he stretched out his hand to help him.

"go home."

"Then I'll see you off. By the way, what's the name of your neighborhood?"

……

Out of the barbecue shop and connected to the street, there are sparse crowds and passing car taillights. This area is close to the school, far away from neon lights and noise.

On a summer night with a little humidity, dim street lamps stand alone on the street.

The long tail sound of the car lingers in my ears for a long time.

Gu Zhi hired an empty taxi, and when he boarded the car, he told the driver his name as Jiang Chu said.

With the incandescent light above his head, the driver said with a smile, "I have been driving for more than ten years, and there is no such place in Qian'an. Do you remember wrongly?"

At night, the streets are dimly lit, and the glowing buildings are receding frame by frame like a movie screen.

When Jiang Chu got in the car, he leaned against the head of the seat against the car window and closed his eyes without speaking, no matter how Gu Zhi asked him, he would not speak.

Gu Zhi had no choice but to report his home address.

There were no cars on the way to Gu Zhi's house, and the driver drove smoothly all the way, arriving in about ten minutes.

When getting out of the car, the driver smiled and asked if he needed help, Jiang Chu leaned on Gu Zhi and waved his hand, saying thank you no.

It would be sobering.

Although he had already sent Gu Qian a message to explain the situation on the way, Gu Qian was very enthusiastic, but his family situation is a bit complicated. It was the first time he brought a classmate home and he was a drunk, so he was actually a little nervous

Gu Zhi said: "Don't talk later, I'll directly help you to rest."

Jiang Chu nodded, but thought that was impossible.

After walking for a few minutes, they saw two familiar figures approaching in front of them by the light of the mobile phone's flashlight.

Gu Qian raised her phone, and in the light and shadow, Gu Zhi raised her hand to cover her eyes. After confirming that she didn't recognize the wrong person, she stepped forward and asked, "It's okay, why are you paying back too much wine?"

"Several classmates congratulated him for winning the first prize in the competition, and he poured it."

One sentence explained the reason, Gu Zhi was afraid that he would hurt himself and make Gu Zhuowei feel that he was hanging out with some kind of dubious person, so he pretended to explain casually.

It was really useful, Gu Qian said, "Come on, go home quickly, I've made honey tea, you'll give him some later."

"Thank you auntie."

Gu Zhi glanced at Jiang Chu, except for the strong smell of alcohol, he couldn't tell he was drunk.I nodded and said I got it.

The two adults walked behind and they were in front. When entering the door, Gu Zhi found a pair of his own slippers for him. From entering the door to changing the slippers to sitting on the sofa, Jiang Chu didn't look drunk at all.

If it wasn't for him smiling more than usual, Gu Zhi would have suspected that this guy was pretending to be drunk.

Gu Zhijin pulled on his slippers and ran into the kitchen and took a big gulp of cold water. When he entered the living room, he saw Jiang Chu and Gu Qian sitting on the sofa chatting.

Jiang Chu's rare courtesy: "Auntie, I'm sorry to trouble you, I forgot my key today, and my family is away on a business trip."

Gu Zhi: "..." I'm really going to panic.

Gu Qian poured a glass of water and pushed it over with a smile, "It's okay, Gu Gu also often forgets her keys."

She felt the same about this matter, so she didn't have the slightest doubt.

Gu Zhuowei followed Gu Qian's order and went to the kitchen to get two cups of honey tea.When he came out, he saw Gu Zhi standing beside him, so he gave him a cup.

Gu Zhi thanked him and finished drinking directly, put the cup in the bucket, then returned to the living room and hurriedly pulled Jiang Chu, telling him to go to sleep.

Gu Qian and Gu Zhuowei looked at each other and smiled, knowing that Gu Zhi was afraid to trouble them, they gave a few words of advice, and then walked into the bedroom together, Nuo Da's living room was suddenly quiet, the ceiling light in the living room was too bright, and the room was covered in white, Jiang Chu Sitting quietly on the sofa with legs bent.

Behind it was Gu Qian's newly bought cartoon pillow, and he picked up a corner of his index finger to play around the pillow.

It's really quite familiar, Gu Zhi thought angrily.

"Did you really forget to bring your keys?" Gu Zhi asked.

"Hmm. If you don't believe me, go and find it in my schoolbag."

Gu Zhi didn't have a hobby of looking through people's schoolbags, so he thought about it and said helplessly, "Forget it, I'll find you pajamas, take a shower and go to sleep."

Jiang Chu is obedient in other people's homes like a trained pet cat, Gu Zhi comes in and out, and he follows him in and out, but the noise is so small that it can hardly be heard.

When Jiang Chu finally came out of the bathroom, Gu Zhi had already turned off the ceiling light in the living room, leaving only a small night light.

Now he was really sober, but he became confused, how could he really be a rascal at Gu Zhi's house.

In the room, Gu Zhi had turned on the air conditioner in advance, and it seemed to be a comfortable temperature.

He followed behind Gu Zhi, looking around from the corner of his eye.

Various exercise books and test papers are neatly stacked on the white desk, and the bookshelves next to it are also neatly arranged.

Gu Zhi's desk at school is as messy as a trash can, so someone must have tidied up such a neat desk for him.

"You sleep in my room." Gu Zhi took a pillow from the cabinet and replaced the one on the bed.

"What about you?" Jiang Chu asked.

"I sleep in the next room." Gu Zhi explained: "The air conditioner in the room is old and the sound is relatively loud."

"Oh." Jiang Chu lowered his eyes, and when Gu Zhi was about to reach the door, he said, "Then I'll sleep in the guest room."

Gu Zhi turned back helplessly, lifted the quilt, and said to him commandingly: "Go to sleep now, the noise in that room is too loud to affect your sleep."

Jiang Chu wanted to say that I slept soundly and was not afraid of noise, but Gu Zhi had already pushed him back a few steps, which meant "no need to argue".

Even though he drank honey tea and took a bath, the smell of wine did not dissipate so quickly. Jiang Chu could still smell a faint scent of wine, which floated in the air, when it reached Gu Zhi's breath. Also feeling a little dizzy.

The two stalemate for a moment, Jiang Chu frowned and turned his head to look away without speaking.

Again.

Gu Zhi wanted to say, after all, you are the master, and I am the master.

Just as she was planning not to quarrel with him, when she was about to go out, she felt her wrist being pulled.

Jiang Chu's slightly drunk brain slowed down by half a beat, and he stretched out his hand without thinking too much, and Gu Zhi retreated subconsciously.

But Jiang Chu grabbed it hard, but he didn't break free.

Suddenly, Gu Zhi felt flustered.

He seemed to see through Jiang Chu's deep eyes the deep meaning hidden in it for a long time, Jiang Chu didn't let go, Gu Zhi couldn't break free, so he held onto him, he stood there quietly, the strength in his hand gradually relaxed , In fact, Gu Zhi understands what Jiang Chu's body language means - I want to hold your hand, I want to try.

The wind blows through the treetops outside the window, the silent night is pierced by the rustling of leaves, the sky is clear, and the moon hangs on the hook.

Gu Zhi's gaze fell on the half-exposed wrist joint. The boy's arm was tough and thin. For a moment, he suddenly felt very sad. Everything about Jiang Chu tonight seemed abnormal, but this abnormality often I can't afford to scrutinize, but when I think about it carefully, there are traces of what happened to him.

Because the vigorous confession will never have anything to do with him.

Jiang Chu has always maintained a slight sobriety, even though his feelings are so strong that even Gu Zhi can't ignore them, but he has never said such a simple sentence as I like you.

He was obsessed with grabbing Jiang Chu with his backhand the moment he was about to let go.The temperature difference between the two fingers was so great that he panicked for two seconds.

"Do you know?" Jiang Chu asked suddenly.

Obviously, he only spoke half of what he said, but Gu Zhi seemed to hear the rest clearly.

Gu Zhi wanted to let go of his hand again, but was held tightly by the other party. This time, he held tightly from the beginning to the end.

Gu Zhi wanted to pretend to be stupid and ask him what he knew?Or simply say no, but as long as you see Jiang Chu's expectant eyes, those high-sounding manuscripts will not be able to say a word.There was a sincerity in his eyes that made him unable to deceive himself.

He nodded abruptly, Jiang Chu's expression slightly relaxed, but soon became tense again.

A few seconds of blankness seemed to have gone through a hopelessly long time.

Jiang Chu finally pulled back his thoughts.The temperature in his hands was slowly contagious, until Gu Zhi took another step closer, he suddenly felt a sense of melancholy.

Some feelings cannot be separated easily. If they are not pruned when they take root and sprout, they will grow wildly after a period of time.

The throbbing heart beats in the wrong rhythm in the silence. It may be that at this moment in the dead of night, Jiang Chu's mind for a long time showed signs of breaking out of the cage at this time.

The alcohol before was finally almost sober, and he didn't have a hangover at all, but in the moonlight, the strong smell of alcohol was getting closer.

Seeing Jiang Chu's glance down, Gu Zhi felt distressed for a moment, and his drooping eyes were full of restraint.

That was not like the Jiang Chu he knew.

For the first time in Gu Zhi's 16-year-old life, he was in chaos, and his thousands of cavalry were defeated at this moment.

There was only one desk lamp turned on in the room, echoing the moonlight outside the window, their fingertips pressed against each other, breathing intertwined, with a layer of hot and humid sweat floating on their palms, they boldly kissed together.

They kissed quietly, as if they had been in love for a long time, but the young man's heart was beating wildly, like a surging undercurrent in a calm sea.

Only they themselves know that the heartbeat at that time is no longer looking at each other from afar across the other side of their growth.

It wasn't until many years later when he thought of that day that Gu Zhi realized in a daze that it was actually a great courage to be called a youthful rebellion at that time.

The author says:

It is not recommended for students to drink alcohol. Confession after drinking is necessary for the plot. Don't try it, it will be very embarrassing.Love still needs to be dealt with bravely under a clear understanding.
