two

Coming out of the wholesale fruit market, one world passes to another.It was past four o'clock in the morning, and the market was extremely hot.The temperature is, the light is, and the sound is also.Like a big oil pan, stir fry groups of people who are busy with their lives.In it, Yuan Mu doesn't belong to Yuan Mu anymore, he is just a son worthy of Fang Qiong's reassurance, becoming a man, becoming a pillar, looking for goods to choose and grab goods, comparing prices and then haggling, all he wants to do is pretend to make a living.

It felt like I had been entangled in the big net for long enough, and finally escaped, but it was still dark.

Yuan Mu panted while sitting on the tricycle, looked at the cloudy sky, and then at the dead and silent street for a while. He turned the key short and stepped on the accelerator to go back to the fruit shop.

Baskets of goods loaded onto the truck in the market were unloaded into the store after parking the car.One basket after another was poured on the pallet, and then placed neatly one by one.There was no time to prepare hot water for the rest that needed to be cleaned, so I gritted my teeth and reached into the ice water without blinking to wash them off one by one.

Time was running out, and Yuan Mu suffered from being late yesterday, so he didn't dare to slack off today. He held his breath and was so busy that he didn't stop for more than two hours.

The night was parted layer by layer, Yuan Mu stacked the last plastic basket to the corner and leaned against the wall for a few seconds.The dizziness came late, and ripples spread out, and he turned his head to look at the clock on the counter.

By the way, outside the half-opened rolling shutter door, Qiu Yu was riding on the car.I also looked at him, I don't know how long I watched him.

Legs and waist were still weak, but Yuan Mu pushed his arms away from the wall, and stood up straight under that calm gaze.

"That's all you need to do," Qiu Yu said.

Probably a long time, Yuan Mu guessed.Qiu Yu in front of her was cold all over, her eyes, nose, nose, and ears were all red.His voice was hoarse, as if icy, which proved that he had been looking at him for a long time without saying a word.

"That's right." Yuan Mu avoided looking at Qiu Yu, turned around to look for his schoolbag, "You're quite early today."

"It's your turn to do this anyway."

Yuan Mu came out with his schoolbag in his hand, and pushed the rolling door to the top with one hand.

"My mother is not in good health recently."

"What's up with her."

"Not suitable for these."

"Last night at eleven o'clock, I was eating melon seeds and watching TV at my house. I was very happy to laugh with Xu Yiqing, and my face was pretty good." Qiu Yu's tone was exactly the same as his eyes, and every word was like swishing in the ice and snow. The arrows that passed by were loud and unpopular, "What's wrong, I didn't see it."

Yuan Mu hung the schoolbag on one shoulder, but the strap on the other side was always out of reach.He didn't pick his face to look for it. After hearing Qiu Yu's words, the expression on his face became blurred, and then his hands slowed down and stopped moving.

Fang Qiong called him "Yuan'er" in front of people, and changed it back to "Yuan Mu" when he was alone.It took Yuan Mu several years to figure out this rule.

But Qiu Yu is a scary person, very intelligent, his eyes are like sharp swords, it seems that he can't hide anything under his eyelids, he can see everything thoroughly.He has seen through it, whether to pierce or not depends on his mood.

Regarding Fang Qiong's lack of love for his son, after Yuan Mu secretly understood, Qiu Yu could follow suit.

Whenever Fang Qiong and Yuan Cha were mentioned, Qiu Yu's words were tinged with thorns.There was resentment in the words, but anger in the words, Yuan Mu didn't see through him until then.

Yuan Muzhen was afraid that he would poke him.

Yuan Mu really always hoped that Fang Qiong could love him more, but this kind of wish could not be expressed, Fang Qiong gave up if he couldn't hear it.But if another person hears it, it will change completely.Especially being heard by Qiu Yu made Yuan Mu ten thousand times more ashamed and embarrassed than seeing the scar on his arm.

He is abnormal from the inside out.The normal man is naturally happy, he relies on the blade.A normal person gets love naturally, he relies on prayer.Falling in love with Qiu Yu is enough for him to be humble, and if Qiu Yu clearly reveals that he is unloved, the dust in the ground will be half as high as him.

It's strange today, maybe it's because I'm too tired, I'm so bored, hearing Qiu Yu talking like this again, Yuan Mu didn't have the strength to pretend to be angry and stuff Qiu Yu's mouth like every time before.

Qiu Yu looked at Yuan Mu's expression, sad, angry, speechless, wanting to speak, silent, and noisy.After careful identification, it turned out to be empty.

He deliberately spoke with a gun and a stick, trying to make Yuan Mu sober.I knew it was wrong, so I shouldn't have said it, but I said it.Saying that, he didn't want to hurt himself first, staring at Yuan Mu's face, Qiu Yu's heart constricted and ached, dripping acid water as if being pulled hard by someone.

"Did you eat breakfast?" Qiu Yu said.

My voice is no longer hoarse, but the strange thing is that the soreness in my heart is coming up, and the words are always swallowed in my throat.

"No."

"I didn't bring it with me today, go to school and buy it."

"Ah."

"boarding."

Yuan Mu raised his eyes, not at Qiu Yu, but at the intersection: "I'll take the bus."

Qiu Yu almost laughed.

He was afraid that his legs would hurt from taking two extra steps, so I went to Ximian to borrow a car to pick him up every day, but he was fine, dragging his injured leg and running up and down the shop all because of that mother.Now the car is waiting for him in front of him, so let's fucking say "I take the bus".

Qiu Yu leaned forward and brought Yuan Mu's schoolbag that had fallen behind him on the other side, and while helping him tidy it up, he asked, "Do you want to pull down the door, or open it?"

"No need." Yuan Mu looked at his watch again, "She'll be down in a while."

"Then get in the car quickly." Qiu Yu said, "If you don't leave, you have to sweep the floor again."

It wasn't until Qiu Yu reached out to the back seat to unhook the helmet that Yuan Mu slowly walked towards him to catch it.

"...Do you want me to help you get in the car?" Qiu Yu asked like the first time.

"Not that far." Yuan Mu's answer was no different from the first time.

Qiu Yu's Adam's apple rolled, and she let out a little laugh, lazily.At the same time, he turned his head to look at the dial on the front of the car, so that Yuan Mu would not know that he was not smiling.

Qiu Yu drove the car very fast on the road, but he couldn't control it if he didn't want to.

After putting on a smile to lighten the atmosphere, he coaxed Yuan Mu, but failed to coax himself.The heart became more and more sour and soft, and a piece of rotten meat was spread on the left chest.He had never experienced such pain before, it was so painful that the whole area was numb, and Qiu Yu couldn't handle it for the first time.

On the zebra crossing, I failed to catch up with the green light.The car was forced to stop, unable to vent, unable to find anything to support him, and his emotions swelled even more out of control.

The ears were not occupied by the howling wind, and Yuan Mu's "I'll take the bus" echoed over and over again.His mind was also free, and all he could see was the scene of Yuan Mu bending over and stretching his back, busying around on the ground a few feet away.I feel that the ceiling in the store is too low, almost crushing Yuan Mu.He also felt that the pile of fruits was hideous, and almost buried Yuan Mu on the spot.And buckets of ice water—

I forgot to ask if his hands were cold.

As soon as Qiu Yu let go of the handlebar, she wanted to go around behind her to check Yuan Mu's temperature.

All the way, just relax for a while.All of a sudden, the eyes were opened, and tears suddenly fell down.His hands froze, and he had difficulty breathing for a moment. He diverted to lift the glass cover of his helmet.

Qiu Yu couldn't figure out why she was crying.The sky is swaying, and I can cry.

He lifted the mask silently, let the wind blow in, and let it wipe away the tears.

Then the next morning Yuan Mu saw Qiu Yu waiting for him again.

At four o'clock in the morning, Qiu Yu held a warm sweet potato with his sleeve, and said, "It's not baked, boiled, just let it go, it's better than nothing, eat it before working."

Yuan Mu looked at Qiu Yu. He hadn't arrived at the wholesale market yet, and his body was getting hot, so hot that he was about to sweat.Before he finished his work, he felt dizzy and wondered whether the charcoal used to keep him warm was sweet potato or Qiuyu.

They went to the fruit wholesale market together, taking turns sitting in the driver's seat of the tricycle.Loading and unloading together, laying out the goods for washing, cleaning up the dirty mud and leaves all over the place.Do everything together with two people, save half the time and half the energy, and be able to talk and laugh slowly without saying a word.Turn suffering into joy.

And so on until Friday.

Qiu Yu didn't have to go to class, and had to meet at the school gate at nine o'clock, and he sat chatting with Yuan Mu in front of the shop at six o'clock.

"When will Aunt Fang get better?" Qiu Yu said.

"I don't know, let's raise it first."

Qiu Yu hasn't asked Fang Qiongsheng about his illness so far.He said indifferently, "How long will you keep it? I can't let you do this every day. Don't let your side job become your main job. If you can't study, you can open a shop."

"Are you tired?" Yuan Mu turned his head to look at him, and stretched out his hand to fasten the chain of his open collar.

Qiu Yu looked back at the store and said, "That's all."

Yuan Mu: "I can't make up for sleep on the train."

None of them had ever been on a train, so they didn't know where or what to eat.I don't know where to sleep, can I sleep.

Qiu Yu simply said, "Yes."

Yuan Mu got up and hooked the plastic bag next to the schoolbag, walked back and put it in Qiu Yu's arms, saying, "You can carry it, or put it in your backpack."

"What?" Qiu Yu asked as he untied the bag.

Some pomegranates, some apples, some bread, some bottles of milk, and some snacks, Qiu Yu took out all of them, holding everything with both hands, like an expert in treasure appraisal.

"When did you do this?"

God, 24 hours a day, they spend [-] hours together.

Yuan Mu gave a "tsk": "You pretended well, you took it out again."

"I'll pretend again." With that said, he held the pomegranate tightly.Qiu Yu said something wrong, how come his pomegranates are more beautiful than Qiu Xia's.Thinking so, but saying something else: "If Apple doesn't like it, pretend it to me."

"Apple can stand up to storage. If you can't finish eating it on the train, you can still eat it for a few days in Beijing." Yuan Mu crutched his elbow, "It's me who doesn't like it. You don't like it either?"

Qiu Yu put it back one by one, it was really intact, he lowered his head: "Love."

Actually neither love nor hate.But since he knew Yuan Mu hated it, he never ate it again.

"I don't want to go."

"what?"

Qiu Yu said it a second time: "I don't want to go to Beijing anymore."

Yuan Mu's waist was bent deeply, he carefully read his expression, and analyzed how true or false this sentence was, and why it was true and why it was false.

They were sitting on the steps. Qiu Yu had her legs bent and put her hands on her knees.Yuan Mu's head came close to his crotch, and he lowered his eyes and stared at his face with a smile.

"Aren't you afraid again?" Yuan Mu said, "Whether you win the prize is not the key, the key is that you can go to Beijing for a trip, and all the expenses will be reimbursed."

"Do you want to go, Beijing." Qiu Yu smiled with a different meaning.

Yuan Mu wanted to back away, but the back of his neck was held down by Qiu Yu.

"Huh? Want to?"

Yuan Mu didn't struggle, and leaned on Qiu Yu's lap: "Do you want to take me with you? Talk to the teacher who leads the team and ask for a replacement ticket."

He condemned himself and was suspected of being a gag.

Qiu Yu looked at Yuan Mu for a while, let go of him, leaned back, and said, "What's the fun this time? If there is a chance, I will go with you two during the holiday, and I will reimburse your expenses."

Yuan Mu leaned on his chin and looked at him: "Qiu Yu, why are you so kind to me?"

It refers to more than this one thing, but only uses this one thing to express it.

Qiu Yu fingered the knot of the plastic bag, and said casually, "That's it." He raised his eyes and looked at each other, "You are very kind to me, too."

The change of expression with two eyes fixed on Yuan Mu depends on whether the phrase "Return yours" in the throat needs to be said or not.

In the end it was unnecessary, because Yuan Mu nodded calmly and said, "At least it's been more than ten years." He sighed, "It feels like a blink of an eye."

After that, Yuan Mu did something wrong on Friday.

At 08:30, Qiu Yu went to school with him. At [-]:[-], seeing Qiu Yu leave silently through the back door, he immediately raised his hand to ask for leave to go to the bathroom.When he was about to reach the school gate, Qiu Yu seemed to have an impromptu idea: Why don't we go to Beijing for the exam together, and we will get a scholarship together for four years in the university, and all the expenses will be reimbursed.

Maybe the weather also knows people's feelings and people's wishes. In winter, the warm sun hangs on the wheels to see off the people on this bus.

"Are you okay?"

After Qiu Yu finished asking, before Yuan Mu could answer, the sharp-eyed teacher who led the team saw him and beckoned him to get in the car.The teacher recognized Yuan Mu and called him by his name with a smile.

Qiu Yu was dragged away by the teacher, Yuan Mu waved at them, and was about to turn around when he heard another shout: "OK?

Qiu Yu didn't sit in the car, he knelt on the seat, opened the window and stretched out his head. Seeing Yuan Mu looking at him, he showed a big smile, and asked a third time: Yuan Mu, are you going or not——

Yuan Mu's eyes were squinted by the sun, and the blinking was full of water.

The engine of the bus is rumbling, exhaust fumes are blowing from its buttocks, and it is about to leave.Qiu Yu looked at him dumbfoundedly, and didn't ask the fourth time.

Everyone in the car also looked at him, looking at them without knowing why.

Yuan Mu nodded to him, but Qiu Yu was in a daze and didn't respond.Yuan Mu thought it was because of distance swallowing his nod, he put down his sun-shielding hand, put it around his mouth, and said: Good.
