"Uncle Zhou, how are you doing over there..."

"I listened to you, I took Nuo Nuo home to raise her, but she also left... Just like him back then, it was so sudden..."

"But don't worry, I'm doing well, eating well and sleeping soundly... He even came back early recently."

"Did you pick up Nuo Nuo over there? Does it still like to nibble on human fingers? When it was gone, it especially liked to eat small dried fish..."

The sky is gloomy today, with dark clouds pressing down on the ground, and when I look up, I feel like I can't breathe.

The torrential rain would be approaching at any time, and the cemetery was very quiet, except for the thin and thin figure from the back.

Xu Ci didn't care, he knelt in front of the tombstone, talking ramblingly, as if someone was talking to him.

"Uncle Zhou..." His eyes lost focus, and he paused for a long time before saying, "I miss him so much, obviously he has come back, why do I still miss him so much..."

"I want him to only look at me alone, and I don't want him to be so alienated to me..."

Xu Ci lowered her head, with no expression on her face, but the corners of her eyes were wet: "I don't want to hurt him... But I can't help it, I will die without him, I don't want to die yet."

Xu Ci had no expression on her face, two lines of clear tears fell from the corners of her eyes.

He seemed to finally realize that no one here would respond to his words, so he calmed down and looked at the black and white photo on the tombstone.

In the photo is an old man who looks quite energetic, with wrinkles on his face, but he smiles amiably.

When the first drop of rain fell, Xu Ci wiped his forehead with his hand. He stared at the water stains for a while: "Uncle Zhou, it's raining... I have to go, I'll see you another day."

Immediately afterwards, the second drop, the third drop...

It wasn't until the bean-sized raindrops fell on the ground crackling, hitting dots one by one, that Xu Ci looked at the time and accelerated the speed of his feet.

--

Fu Sheng was woken up by his mother's angry "Get out", until he sat up and heard the sound of the rainstorm, and realized that it was just a dream.

The house is very quiet, there are no lights, and the sky outside is gloomy and rainy.

The watch showed that it was seven o'clock in the morning. Fu Sheng rubbed his brows, stood up and called out, "Xu Ci?"

no respond.

Fu Sheng went up to the second floor, and there was no one on the bed, the quilt and pillows were neatly folded, and the sheets felt cold to the touch.

His heart skipped a beat, and he subconsciously took out his cell phone to call Xu Ci, but suddenly he heard the sound of the apartment door unlocking.

He walked down, and Xu Ci, who was soaked all over, was standing at the entrance with a bag in his arms, looking very embarrassed.

Fu Sheng was a little sullen: "Where have you been?"

Xu Ci was stunned: "Go buy breakfast..."

"Why don't you bring an umbrella?"

"It wasn't raining when I went out..."

Xu Ci lowered his head, standing there at a loss like a child who has done something wrong.

Fu Sheng looked at him for a while, then looked away in frustration: "Go take a hot bath."

Xu Ci pursed his lips and hummed, he wiped his hands and handed the breakfast to Fu Sheng: "Eat while it's hot."

It wasn't until Xu Ci walked into the bathroom obediently that Fu Sheng moved.

The breakfast was wrapped in a bag and tightly protected by beard, and almost no rainwater entered it. The porridge and soybean milk were still warm, but there was only one portion of food inside.

Fu Sheng sat at the dining table, opened the porridge box but did not move it.

He listened to the sound of water in the bathroom behind him, looked at the void in front of him, and his thoughts were wandering.

In fact, he should have thought of it.

Although Xu Ci acted willfully and recklessly, Xu Ci didn't mention breaking up during the most serious quarrel before they separated, and finally went to Fu Sheng's company office to admit his mistake, and asked aggrievedly: "The quarrel belongs to the quarrel , can you stop fighting with me?"

The bathroom door behind him opened with a click, and Fu Sheng's eyes narrowed slightly.

He remembered, when Xu Ci went to the office to find him, his mother Jiang Shan had just left the office.

Fu Sheng didn't look back and said, "Come here."

Xu Ci was stunned for a moment, he hesitated and walked to Fu Sheng's side, Fu Sheng took out the towel in his hand and wiped his hair.

His hair was wet, and Xu Ci standing like this was taller than Fu Sheng who was sitting, so Fu Sheng kept raising his hands to filter the water from his hair.

Fu Sheng asked abruptly, "Why did you just buy a breakfast?"

Xu Ci was startled: "...I forgot."

He really forgot, after he came out from there, his mind was in chaos, he only remembered to bring a breakfast for Fu Sheng, and he couldn't think of himself.

Fu Sheng was dumbfounded: "..."

He had a lot of questions in his mind. Since he used the key in his mother's belongings to open the door of the apartment where he and Xu Ci had lived for several years, the matter of Xu Ci's breakup with him seemed to become clear.

Fu Sheng quickly accepted the fact that Jiang Shan forced Xu Ci to break up and blocked all his contact information. This can also be seen from Xu Ci's performance after the reunion.

If it wasn't for Jiang Shan, how could she have the key to the apartment.

In those few years, Fu Sheng protected Xu Ci very well, and did not let anyone related to Jiang Shan know of Xu Ci's existence, except for that time when they had a quarrel and Xu Ci went to his company.

When he opened the door with the key, Fu Sheng's mind went blank.

He smoked a lot of cigarettes in the familiar house that lost all traces of his and Xu Ci's lives before calling Lawyer Lin.

After hesitating for a while there, he said that Jiang Shan had indeed gone to see Xu Ci not long after Fu Sheng left, and seemed to have paid back the money, but it was not clear whether Xu Ci wanted it or not.

Jiang Shan has been lying to him.

This realization made Fu Sheng feel unspeakably depressed. His trusted and respected mother seemed to be playing tricks on him for the past two years.

The superficial reason why Jiang Shan and him have been fighting against each other for the past two years has always been that he likes men. Jiang Shan never mentioned the existence of Xu Ci, as if he didn't know about this boy at all, just because of Fu Sheng's sexuality. And angry.

At the moment Xu Ci is beside him very quietly, and she has never confided to him about the persecution she received from Jiang Shan after reuniting for so long.

He rubbed Xu Ci's hair gently through the towel, wanting to ask if he was wronged?What did Jiang Shan say to make him compromise?Haven't the past two years been very unsatisfactory?

But in the end, all kinds of words were stuck in his throat, and he couldn't ask a word.

what can he doDoes he want to blame a dead person for the sadness and grievance Xu Ci has endured in the past two years?To blame a mother who raised him alone and lived with him for many years?

Fu Sheng pushed the porridge towards Xu Ci: "Eat it."

Xu Ci: "I..."

Fu Sheng looked a little tired: "I can't eat."

"... Skipping breakfast is not good for the stomach, you eat some first, and I will eat the rest." Xu Ci pursed her lips and added, "I have a very small appetite."

Fu Sheng: "..."

Boys who are growing up almost don't have small appetites, but Xu Ci really doesn't eat much.

When they first got together, Xu Ci was very greedy and wanted to try everything, but he couldn't finish what he bought.

Ice cream in summer, milk tea in autumn... octopus balls, half of watermelon, and Xu Ci all like to eat, but they only try something new, and throw it aside after two bites. In the end, Fu Sheng helped solve it.

Xu Ci's sentence "I'll eat the rest" made Fu Sheng feel a little confused. He didn't say anything, got up and went to the kitchen to get a small bowl, and divided half of the porridge out.

Xu Ci rubbed his fingertips, watching that he did not stop his movements.

It turns out that you don't even want to share a bowl now...

Fu Sheng didn't know what he was thinking: "Eat quickly, I'll blow your hair after eating."

Xu Ci was really stunned, a few strands of wet soft hair curled up, looking a little dazed.

Seeing that he didn't move, Fu Sheng pushed the soy milk towards him: "Drink some to warm your body, and give it to me if you can't finish it."
