The beauty of rebirth

At 11:30 in the evening, the doorbell rang suddenly.

The person who was originally sitting on the sofa and flipping through magazines instinctively looked up at the wall clock on the wall and frowned, wondering who else would come here at such a late hour.Seeing that the doorbell was being pressed more and more urgently, he hesitated for a moment, put down the magazine in his hand, stood up and walked towards the door.

Opening the door, before he could see the person outside the door clearly, he was rushed forward and hugged tightly by the other party.

He was taken aback at first, but the familiar breath and touch in his arms quickly eased his expression. Instead, he hugged him back and smiled slightly.

"Why did you come here in the middle of the night?" Looking down at the person in his arms, there was already unconscious love in his eyes, but the other person buried his face in his chest firmly and did not respond.

It was only then that he realized that his body was wet and cold, and at this moment, there seemed to be a chill slowly dissipating from his whole body.

"It's raining outside? Why don't you have an umbrella?" He reached out to hold his shoulders, and pushed him a short distance away, so as to see his expression.

But the other party still hangs his head firmly, as if deliberately trying not to let him see clearly.Messy bangs covered the eyes, only the tightly clenched lower lip could be seen, and... the bloody wound on the jaw!

"Hey, Yao Qi! What's going on here?" Then suddenly he felt something was wrong, he couldn't help but feel his heart tighten, and the hand holding his shoulder began to shake him vigorously.

As if feeling Lin Rui staring at the scratch on his jaw, the other party reached out to touch it lightly, and the blood immediately smeared with the rain on the back of his finger, a shocking red.

"I'm fine." At this moment, Yao Qi lowered his head and smiled faintly, a flash of light flashed in his dark eyes.After a pause, he looked up at Lin Rui and said, "My family knows about us. I...may not go back..."

Lin Rui stared at him slightly absent-mindedly, and wanted to say something, but when he saw his wet and desolate appearance, he just smiled and said, "Hurry up and take a hot bath, be careful not to catch a cold." I'll disinfect the wound for you when you come out later."

"Well, good." Yao Qi's eyes softened slightly, he nodded, and went straight into the bathroom.

Soon, the sound of running water rang out.

Lin Rui took out his nightgown, walked to the bathroom door, and gently opened the shuttle door a crack, white water vapor immediately came out along the gap.Lin Rui reached in and skillfully put the nightgown on the towel rack at the inner door.

The people inside heard the movement and said "thank you" lightly.

Lin Rui put away the towel but didn't close the door. Instead, he slowly arched his body and leaned against the wall outside the door, seemingly in thought.

"What's the matter?" Yao Qi paused the movements of his hands, turned his face to look in his direction.

"It's okay." Lin Rui quickly curled his lips into a smile, "Let's take a peek, just arouse some unreasonable thoughts."

Yao Qi couldn't help but also smiled lightly, but saw that Lin Rui had already closed the door, and the dark shadow disappeared outside the door.

Suddenly my heart felt empty.He didn't know when he had become so dependent on Lin Rui.It seemed that as long as he was out of sight, his heart would be inexplicably lost for a while.

Turning off the shower head, the sound of running water stopped suddenly.The surroundings suddenly became quiet.

He raised the corner of his mouth and smiled.

I...it seems that I can't do without him.Probably because of this, even if you leave home, even if you cut ties with your parents, you must stay with him like this...

Just two hours before, a world war broke out in the house.

A friend of his father Yao Sheng saw the intimate behavior between himself and Lin Rui outside, so this matter spread all over his circle, and when it spread to his ears in a circle, it was already known to everyone.Yao Sheng was originally grumpy, plus he was a face-saving person. Now that everyone outside said that his son was gay, he immediately asked him about it after returning home.Yao Qi knew that the matter between himself and Lin Rui would be discovered by outsiders sooner or later, so he didn't think about deliberately concealing it anymore, so he nodded and admitted.

Yao Sheng flew into a rage immediately, and vigorously threw the bowl in his hand on the dining table.The bowl instantly shattered into countless pieces, and one of the pieces flew towards him, making a long cut in his jaw.

The mother hurried over to persuade Yao Sheng, but the latter threw her to the ground vigorously and reprimanded her for not controlling her son well, which made him become a pervert.The mother was weak by nature, facing the almost crazy father, she couldn't say a word other than bowing her head and weeping silently.

This is not the first time I have seen such a situation at home.

Yao Sheng has an extremely irritable temper. Stress and troubles at work often bring him to the breaking point. At this time, any unhappiness at home may detonate this time bomb.And every time he gets angry, he immediately loses control, like a raging lion, and no one in the family can stop him.Throwing bowls, overturning tables, and even smashing benches are commonplace.When I was young, I had no way to resist, and often hid with my mother and shed tears, waiting for his momentary anger to dissipate and return to his usual normal state.

His mother would often tell him in tears that she stayed here to continue living with this uncertain man, just hoping to give him a complete family.But as he grew older, Yao Qi became more and more disgusted with his twisted and indifferent family.He began to look for every opportunity to return home late or try not to step into this house as much as possible. Sometimes he stayed at a friend's house, and sometimes he wandered outside by himself.After entering the university, because I was always alone, I gradually got in touch with a group of gangsters in the school. When I was free, I would hang out with them, go to bars and discos to indulge, and even find people to fight every now and then.

All these vain excitement and carnivals are far better than that cold and lifeless home.

This kind of corruption and complete sinking is like a dose of anesthetic for the soul. The price of a short escape is gradually becoming addicted to this feeling, and finally unable to extricate itself.

If he hadn't met Lin Rui, Yao Qi felt that he would have gradually sunk like a deep swamp.But there is no if, in fact, it was Lin Rui who pulled himself back from this extremely depraved state and made everything turn around.

Lin Rui is my roommate in the university, because I am often not in the dormitory, so I haven't met a few times, but I just recognize him.At that time, the only impression I had was that I was a head taller than myself, had a clean smile, and was very kind to everyone.

Such people on the bright side are by no means the same as themselves.

In the summer vacation after the end of my sophomore year, I found an excuse not to go home, but wandered around with those people.One night, they were called out to a small alley, only to find that they were about to fight with someone from another school, and asked themselves to be a helper.The two sides started fighting after a while, and this time, both sides brought their own guys.Yao Qi stood where he was, watching the real swords and guns fighting, and didn't know what to do for a moment.

Fortunately, both groups fought fiercely, and no one noticed him standing on the sidelines.However, in the midst of the chaos, his hand was suddenly grabbed by someone, and then he was pulled by a force from the other's palm and kept running until he ran out of the alley and stopped on the street .

After taking a closer look, I realized that this person was actually Lin Rui.

"Why are you with them?" Lin Rui took a breath and asked with a frown.When you look at him up close, you will find that the outline of his face is particularly three-dimensional and distinct under the neon lights at night.

"It's nothing strange." Yao Qi looked at him intently, then quickly smiled and shrugged, pretending to be indifferent.

"You are obviously not the same kind of person as them."

"How do you know I'm not?" Yao Qi looked at him, but sneered, "It seems like we haven't met a few times." After speaking, he turned around and prepared to walk in the opposite direction.

"You want to go back?" Lin Rui suddenly reached out and grabbed his arm.

"It has nothing to do with you, does it?" Yao Qicheng struggled to break free, but found that Lin Rui was holding him very tightly.I tried it and failed, so I just looked at him and said, "What do you want?"

Lin Rui was silent, and after a while, he suddenly said word by word: "Although we haven't had much contact with each other. But I... have paid attention to you for a whole year." He paused deliberately, "I know you and They're different."

Yao Qi looked at his clear pupils that reflected neon lights and shadows, and suddenly froze in place.

At this time, several police cars drove by on the street with red lights flashing.Lin Rui raised his eyes, followed by the shadow of the police car leaving, turned his head to look at Yao Qi again, and said, "It's probably to solve the matter just now, if you don't want to get into trouble, you should go back quickly." It has been released, looking at him with an indescribable expression.

The two stared at each other like this, each of them was a little stunned for a while.Suddenly Lin Rui seemed to think of something, looked down at his watch, and then he screamed, and hurriedly said: "It's over, we have to leave quickly, and the dormitory will be locked in half an hour." I'll wake up the sleepy administrator uncle later, be careful he will take revenge for half a semester again." After speaking, he immediately grabbed Yao Qi's hand, "There is still a little distance from here to the school, I have to run It's over!"

After all, pull Yao Qi up and run wildly again...

Later, the group of people who participated in the fight had a lot of their old stories dug out, so they were detained and dropped out of school.Yao Qi escaped because he was pulled out by Lin Rui.Later he asked Lin Rui why he appeared in that place, and the latter laughed, and only said that the hero saved the beauty or something, and it was the timing that he saw.But Yao Qi already understood in his heart that Lin Rui might really have been paying attention to him in secret as he said a long time ago.

After that, Yao Qi, who was originally a loner, had a companion by his side. This person was like a ray of sunshine, bit by bit dispelling the haze in his heart.

Perhaps it was because of this that he felt so strongly unwilling to leave him.So this time, when Yao Sheng was furious because of this incident, Yao Qi behaved unusually calm for the first time.

He went to his mother and helped her to sit on the sofa, then turned to look at Yao Sheng who was so angry that his eyes were red, and said calmly and firmly, "Dad, I must be with him."

These words were tantamount to adding fuel to the fire. Yao Sheng's anger that had calmed down a little bit was ignited again, and he immediately yelled at him.

"Dad, if you can't accept it, I'll just go." The more angry Yao Sheng was, the calmer Yao Qi became.

"Okay! You go! Don't come back with me when you go! I don't have a son like you!" Yao Sheng slapped the table, pointed at Yao Qi and yelled.

Yao Qi looked back at his mother who was silently wiping away tears, and only said "you don't have to worry about anything" before turning around and rushing out the door.He felt that he should be sad, even cry.But in fact he didn't.He was just walking slowly in the rain, his whole body numb to the point where he didn't know whether it should be regarded as immature self-willedness for him, or a relief from years of pent-up.

He didn't want to think about it.He had only one thought in his mind at the moment, which was to find Lin Rui.For him, there will always be a peaceful and gentle haven.
