It was already past twelve o'clock when I woke up. People who sleep during the day are more likely to wake up in a trance. The moment he opened his eyes, he was a little dazed. He didn't realize until he stretched under the quilt and saw the back not far away. Where are you.

The curtains were drawn, leaving only a small slit, and the room was warm, so it was impossible to tell whether it was sunny or cloudy outside. Jiang Chu's desk was not as messy as before. He turned his back to Gu Zhi. , bent down on the table, the light from the desk lamp at the corner of the table was very dim, pulling the boy's back into a straight line, making him look extraordinarily quiet and soft in the winter afternoon.

The room was very quiet, only the sound of Jiang Chu's pen tip sweeping across the page. He stared at the back of Jiang Chu's head for a long time, and then turned over slightly.

Although it is extremely light, it still makes people who write at their desks aware of it.

Jiang Chu wrote, turned around and saw Gu Zhi put away his half-stretched waist at lightning speed, and put the quilt over his head, making him look like he was asleep.

Jiang Chu approached quietly, stood in front of the pile of bulging beds for a while, and then opened a corner.

Gu Zhi covered himself in the quilt and sweated, with a few strands of hair sticking to his forehead, sleeping like an ignorant and fearless baby. When he stretched out his hand to brush away those few strands of wet hair, he saw that Gu Zhi was obviously agitated. Take a look at your lashes.

He quickly withdrew his hand, and placed a light kiss between his brows, as if being gently brushed by a soft feather, Gu Zhi's heartbeat heated up, and he pinched a corner of the quilt and slipped it.

The room was as quiet as if everything was an illusion, and his thoughts inevitably recalled a long time ago.

At that time, Jiang Chu also asked him in such silence if he knew.

"Do you know?" Gu Zhi suddenly opened his eyes and blurted out.

Jiang Chu was a little dazed, but after a while he actually understood the endless sentence: "I know."

Gu Zhi, who was still immersed in memories just a moment ago, was suddenly picked up by Jiang Chu from the honeypot, and he simply sat up: "Then don't call me."

"I can't bear to watch you play so hard." Jiang Chu turned to clear the table.

He opened the curtains a little more, and only then did he hear the sound of pages turning.

Gu Zhijian pulled the slippers, jumped off the bed and hung them on Jiang Chu's back: "Then I thank you."

Although Jiang Chu was taller than him, but Gu Zhi was not short, he led Jiang Chu to take a step back, and said with a smile in the corner of his eyes, "You're welcome."

"You..." Gu Zhishun squeezed his face, and his chin rested on Jiang Chu's shoulder. The breath he exhaled could not wrap around his neck with the warmth of winter, and Jiang Chu turned his head. Without any resistance, he said, "Let go."

"I don't." Gu Zhi was hanging on him, witnessing someone's ears from the cold white and red in the morning to the colorful clouds in the evening at a speed visible to the naked eye, all the way until they were submerged in the orange sweater.

"Are you sure?" Jiang Chu threatened his wrist.

Gu Zhi teased him so much that he was very excited, and said boldly: "There is nothing to be sure about, I just want to see what will happen if you don't let go."

When you like someone, you want to know where the bottom line of his tolerance is.

He presumptuously ignored Jiang Chu's threat at all. For some reason, such hilarity made Jiang Chu feel a little relaxed, so he pinched the other's wrist, pursed his lips, and breathed slowly, trying to make his own The heartbeat returned to its normal rhythm, but the result was counterproductive.

When he turned his head, Gu Zhi backed away like a mischievous. If it was normal, Jiang Chu would definitely find that Gu Zhi had a smile in his eyes. He just wanted to tease him, but because his heartbeat was too fast, the distance was too close. , before he had time to see these, he was enveloped by a familiar rejection.

There was a buzzing in his head, Jiang Chu seemed to hear a voice floating in the air, it said that someone would see it, he let go of his hand suddenly, and for a moment, it was difficult to breathe as if he was drowning.

The temperature on his wrist disappeared, and Gu Zhi noticed something strange about Jiang Chu. He raised his head and said to Jiang Chu, "Didn't you ask me why I came here?" Before Jiang Chu could speak, he answered on his own: "I I just want to tell you that the taboo I mentioned is the safest long-term solution before we can choose on our own, and I hope we will be together for a long time.",

Jiang Chu looked at him in disbelief.

"What about you?" Seeing that Jiang Chu was indifferent, he asked carefully, and his own heartbeat also rose when he asked this question.

After a long silence, Jiang Chu's drooping eyes lifted up again.

It was probably too unexpected, he seemed to be dazed, he just looked at it with a frown, he didn't expect that Gu Zhi was exhausted and tossed for more than ten hours just to tell him this, at that moment his heart was overwhelmed. Something blocked it, and it was extremely uncomfortable.

The previously unresolved emotions in my heart suddenly found an outlet, and they were submerged by other things bit by bit.

Gu Zhi was not in a hurry for his answer, the hand on his shoulder slowly dropped, and finally squeezed Jiang Chu's finger, rubbed it lightly, and held it in the palm of his hand.

I don’t know if it’s because of the peculiar arrogance of teenagers. Many times, Jiang Chu can feel that Gu Zhi likes him, but Gu Zhi is very strange. He talks a lot, but he rarely says he likes him. Not to mention love words, so many times Jiang Chu felt that when they were together, there would always be that feeling of being out of reach and sinking in his heart.

The uneasiness and uneasiness in his subconscious all stemmed from Gu Zhi's never-spoken words. A few seconds ago, he was still trapped in self-doubt. With just such a sentence, he broke free from the shackles and climbed out of the swamp. He has always been awkward, and that's what he's worried about.

People's initial concern and touch of feelings come from relatives. Unfortunately, Jiang Xuyang gave him a huge negative teaching material in this regard. Of course he knows that Gu Zhi is not Jiang Xuyang, but at certain times, he still can't help thinking about it, like Gu Zhi. Why do people who grow up under the sun insist on walking forward in the shadow of the night.

Is it because he feels that he is too pitiful to be alone, or because he is not the person who would refuse, so he showed kindness and walked side by side with him for a while. If this is the case, it is not satisfactory. Get a response, but if it's just giving, it's not necessary.

Until Gu Zhi said that he hoped that we would be together for a long time, it was like a good analgesic, which was suddenly pushed into the vein when he was struggling repeatedly, so he was anxious, restless, those sad Both the symptoms and suspected symptoms were relieved under the action of the drug.

Gu Zhi's fingers curled up lightly, just like his heartbeat.

Jiang Chu's hand was held, and when Gu Zhi was about to let go, he slid his fingertips into the gap between his fingers, and clasped Gu Zhi's slightly wet palm.

Gu Zhi waited for a long time, just waiting for this small gesture, he smiled, and apologized without distraction: "If it makes you uncomfortable, forget about it quickly." After finishing speaking, he felt that just this is not enough , So he continued to make excuses and said: "It won't be like this in the future."

Jiang Chu suspected that the latter sentence was something he had thought up on the spur of the moment, so he frowned unceremoniously.

Gu Zhi's heart was fluctuating, and he turned his eyes away a little guilty: "What does your expression mean?"

"I have a good memory." Jiang Chu said.

Gu Zhi: "Have you forgotten?"

Jiang Chu smiled, and said, "It can't be my fault."

Others are "repressing first when you want to promote", Gu Zhi felt that his boyfriend didn't know what restraining was, and there was a kind of aura of a king revealed between the lines, so he put Jiang Chu's shoulders again, locked his throat and threatened: "You want to stay here like this?" , I will take action."

There was a bit of a smile in Jiang Chu's eyes. He glanced at him and then looked away, showing disdain. What measures can you take?

This openly provocative expression fell in Gu Zhi's eyes, and suddenly the fire that was burning in his chest was aroused. Without thinking about it, he turned his head and kissed Jiang Chu's thin, red lips.

After the two fell out, this was the first time that Gu Zhi took the initiative to kiss him. It was different from those high-sounding apologies before. Jiang Chu's heartbeat exploded, and a complex emotion of lost and found rose in his heart.

He felt aggrieved but at the same time felt it was worth it. He experienced all kinds of emotions in a few seconds. Landing on the side of his neck, his thumb lightly touched Gu Zhi's chin, making him look up.

After leaving the school, there are no cameras everywhere, and there is no director Pan who will suddenly appear, Jiang Chu's kisses are no longer so restrained, Gu Zhi is about to be melted by her hot heart, he is a little vain when he is kissed, until The sound of the courtyard door being pushed open broke the ambiguity that filled the room, and they separated.

Obviously he was the one who said he would take measures, but in the end he became the person subject to execution. Gu Zhi slipped out of the door and said boldly, "I'll know what to say in the future."

Jiang Chu was a little funny, he stood there in a daze for a long time before he said to himself, "I probably know."

The one who opened the door was the grandmother who came back from the activity center for the elderly. She was carrying big bags and small bags, and when she was at the door, she called Jiang Chu to come out and help.

Unexpectedly, before Jiang Chu came out, Gu Zhi poked his head out first, and he strode forward to take the bag from the old man's hand: "Grandma, what did you buy? So much?"

Grandma smiled and said, "Flour, fennel, cabbage, stuffing for making dumplings."

"Grandma, do you want to make dumplings?" Gu Zhi was a little surprised, he always ate the quick-frozen dumplings bought in the supermarket, and the handmade dumplings tasted like what his grandma had in his hands when he was very young.

"Yeah." The old man said, "We eat dumplings on New Year's Eve here, so you just do as the Romans do."

Gu Zhi laughed dryly: "No problem, grandma, isn't making dumplings fun? Or you can teach me?"

"Oh, it's very simple. You have a bright mind, and you must learn it quickly, unlike Xiao Chu."

Just as Jiang Chu came out from the inside, he heard the old and the young talking about him behind his back. Gu Zhi smiled awkwardly at Jiang Chu with an innocent face and whispered that it had nothing to do with me.

Not knowing if the kiss just now was still warm, Jiang Chu pursed his lips, and argued, "I'll learn it soon."

Gu Zhi: "..."

Grandma paused for a moment, then smiled lightly, and said without giving any face: "It's either that the skin is broken by putting too much stuffing, or the skin is too thick to be cooked."

In line with the fine tradition of respecting the old and loving the young, Jiang Chu didn't argue with his grandma. He also smiled and said, "Then you haven't finished eating yet."

The old man probably rarely saw Jiang Chu joking, attributed all the credit to Gu Zhi, and immediately accepted Gu Zhi as his apprentice.

From washing vegetables to making noodles, grandma patiently taught her all her skills, but it is a pity that children cannot be taught. God will not let a person be perfect. When it comes to making dumplings, Gu Zhi and Jiang Chu seem to have a tacit understanding of twins. Forget it, the heart of the two old people who came all of a sudden felt a little uncomfortable.

After countless dumplings were broken, grandma's patience finally ran out, and he said to Jiangchu, "Go and buy two packs of salt at Changji shop."

Jiang Chu looked at half a pack of salt next to the stuffing, and pointed to it with some puzzlement and asked, "Isn't that still there?"

Grandma said: "This is not enough. Buy more and put them at home. I will buy them if I save."

Considering the inconvenience of the old man's legs and feet, Jiang Chu nodded, and Gu Zhi hurriedly said, "Then I will go too."

"What are you going to do? It's so windy outside and you're wearing such thin clothes. How can you catch a cold?" Grandma's insight was very strong, and she immediately interrupted his idea of ​​following.

"Why aren't you afraid that I'll catch a cold too?" Jiang Chu muttered in a low voice, and went to the room to get the money. His tone was very coquettish, which stunned the grandma who was rolling out the skin for a moment.

She smiled at Jiang Chu's back and said, "Then you should wear more clothes."

As soon as Jiang Chu left, there were only two people left in the family, one old and one young.

Previously, due to the tight schedule, Gu Zhi was quite tired, and Jiang Chu was always by the side, so Gu Zhi didn't even have time to introduce himself, but now he belatedly knows how to find a topic to chat with the old lady: "Grandma, I I haven't introduced myself yet, my name is Gu Zhi, you can call me Xiao Gu."

Grandma said, "Are you from Nanchuan? Are you in a hurry to find Xiaochu?"

She is old but her mind is still very clear. She has also heard from Jiang Xuyang about Jiang Chu's frequent transfer of schools these years. She is very worried about her grandson, but she is too old to do anything.

Gu Zhi could guess what grandma was worried about, he used the set of rhetoric that Cui Wenjun made up to deceive Jiang Xuyang, but obviously the old man's heart was tied to Jiang Chu, and he was not as easy to fool as Jiang Xuyang.

She said suspiciously: "What study should be done during the Chinese New Year? You kid really thinks I'm an idiot." At this point, she asked with some concern: "Tell the truth, did Xiao Chu cause something? gone?"

"No." Gu Zhi immediately retorted, "He doesn't cause trouble."

Although what he said was true, the old lady still didn't believe it. It might be that the old man thinks too much is not good for his physical and mental health. Gu Zhi made up another lie, saying: "Actually, I had a conflict with my family and ran out unhappy. of."

Grandma frowned, and Gu Zhi knew he had said the wrong thing. He regretted that it was too late, and he added: "But I have already told my mother where I am, and they know, so it's not counted as running away from home."

In order to show that he didn't lie, Gu Zhi took out the text messages on his phone and showed her to read, and said that he would not be an example, and the old man's meticulous expression softened.

Gu Zhixin said, I'm really a good chatterbox, but I don't know if I will be struck by lightning if I lie to the elderly.

Gu Zhi kept messing around in the flour bowl for quite a while. Grandma thought it was a bit funny that he was acting like this. This is probably what happens when a half-grown child has conflicts with the adults at home, so she comforted her: "Your age , the easiest thing to do with your parents, Xiao Chu is the same."

Gu Zhi actually didn't have any troubles in this area, but when it came to Jiang Chu, he suddenly felt a little curious: "What's wrong with Jiang Chu?"

"It's the same as you." The old man glanced at the photo frame next to the TV cabinet and sighed, "I can't deal with his father either."

Gu Zhi actually knew a little bit, but what he knew was limited to the uncertain result drawn from Jiang Chu's words and deeds plus his own judgment.

He followed the old man's eyes and glanced in that direction.

The edges of the photos in the photo frame have begun to fade a little, echoing the other furnishings in the house, and they are all engraved with traces of age.

The long-haired woman in the photo has an elegant appearance, which cannot be concealed by the years. She is very similar to the Hong Kong and Taiwan stars of the last century. From the facial features, one can see the shadow of Jiang Chu, but Jiang Chu's unsmiling facial features are more beautiful. cool.

He vaguely remembered that a long time ago, there seemed to be some rumors about Jiang Chu circulated in the school, and his hesitant eyes unconsciously lingered in the photo for a while.

"That's Jiang Chu's mother, who passed away very early." The old man probably remembered something, and his voice was no longer so neutral, but a little hoarse.

"A child without a mother is always pitiful." Grandma said, "It's only so young, and that kind of thing happened, and his father let it go. I'm old, and I can't take care of it for a few years."

Gu Zhi doesn't know what such a big thing refers to, but from his grandmother's words, he can feel that it must not be a good thing, because his life can be said to be rich and well-clothed since he was a child, so his feelings are only very thin and sad .

Probably opened up the chatterbox, and grandma said: "Xiaochu was just like you when he was very young. He liked to talk and laugh. Later, his mother fell ill, and I blamed me for not taking care of his mother's illness at that time. He made this child become like this."

The old man said and rubbed his eyes with the back of his hand.
