Heart fire

At four o'clock in the morning, the sky was still covered with a layer of dark gray veil, and the heavy snow sifted through the flour all night, and it finally stopped at this time.The light in the warm room was still slightly on, Zhou Tong suddenly woke up from the dream, gathered himself together, quickly turned over and embraced the person who had unknowingly rolled out of his arms into his arms, hugged him tightly, smelled Seeing the heavy breath he had left on him, he relaxed and let out a sigh of relief.

Disturbed by Zhou Tong's subtle movements, Xi Yang shrank back under the quilt, turned around and pressed against his chest, put his arms around his neck and hummed softly in his ear.

"Hush" Zhou Tong patted him lightly. "Sleep, sleep."

The unfamiliar environment and clean bedding make people feel at ease.Xi Yang fell asleep in Zhou Tong's arms, and there was still a trace of cold moisture in his wet temples. It was the smell of snow rubbed against him when he was pressed against the floor-to-ceiling windows, and it reminded Zhou Tong of the image reflected on the large glass. A face soft and scorched by lust, eyelashes trembling slightly with tears in them, seductive gasps and moving sobs, just thinking about it for a moment, the heart that just calmed down immediately beats violently again .

Yang Yang...

Zhou Tong's eyes gradually became moist with the ups and downs of emotions. He completely possessed his trainer like he longed for, thinking that he should feel happy and satisfied at this moment, or at least excited and jumping for joy. I don't know why, thinking of Xi Yang's devotion to himself when he was in love with him, that kind of desperate and squandering beauty, his heart felt as if it had been crushed, soaked and corroded by snow water, and it was indescribably sore.

Xi Yang seemed to be a different person during the indulgence, and Zhou Tong felt that there seemed to be a deep scar in his heart, which had been dripping with blood and could not be healed as time passed.

What the hell is wrong with him?

Zhou Tong has always thought that he has grown up and can calmly face the long life, shed blood and sweat like a real man, absorb the memory and pain of the departure of his relatives, and live tenaciously in this world.It wasn't until he met Xi Yang that he realized that he was still young and fragile, unable to bear the loss or the brief separation from him, nor the ability to penetrate him, heal him, and firmly accept his overly heavy past.

Intuition tells Zhou Tong that Xi Yang's past may not be as unremarkable as he said.

Zhou Tong felt that he was getting closer and closer to the real Xi Yang.But the closer he got, the less and less curiosity he had in the past, replaced by reluctance and distress, as well as a strong desire to protect.

However, I don’t know when, Zhou Tong has lost his initial self-confidence. Every word he said, those words about wanting to stay with Xi Yang and protect him, are all sincere and from the heart, but How can he do what he says? He is not fully sure or has a clear direction, but one thing is certain, no matter how heavy the past is or how difficult the future is, he will never give up.

Because of Xi Yang, his heart is no longer indestructible, but sensitive and fragile, and his world has no iron walls, only a gentle sea, and from now on, it will only ebb and flow for one person.

"Is it too lonely?" Looking at the sleeping Xi Yang, Zhou Tong couldn't help asking in a low voice.Then he twirled a handful of his hair and said to himself: "It's okay to play, as long as it's you, I don't care."

"I... tonight...was it a little too much and hurt you? I'm sorry..."

"Next time, why don't you come next time?" Thinking of the next time, Zhou Tong suddenly blushed a little. "Anyway, for you, I would do anything."

"Instructor." He lowered his voice very low, his tone as gentle as if he was trying to lull him to sleep. "It will be dawn in a while. What will you say to me when you see me after dawn? I'm a little scared, but looking forward to it."

"Do you know? I remembered my name. My name is Shen Yi. Does it sound better than Zhou Tong? Do you like it? These two names are me, past and present, and I will always love you in the future."

"I never thought that I would fall in love with a man, and I never thought that my brother is like me. Isn't it amazing? This can't be genetic..."

The person in his arms didn't respond at all, but Zhou Tong suddenly smiled and secretly kissed Xi Yang's lips. "I can imagine his reaction and expression when he finds out." As he spoke, he straightened his face again, imitating Zhou Yi's appearance in his memory: "Zhou Tong, come here, tell me clearly What's going on? Why learn from me?"

"Pfft..." The more he thought about it, the more interesting he became. Zhou Tong put away his smile, and looked at Xi Yang tenderly, as if he couldn't get enough of it: "Whoever imitated him, who can be as good as my Yang Yang, so good-looking? I bend willingly."

"I don't want to know who he is anymore." Zhou Tong said with relief. "They must have many difficulties that others don't understand, so they don't want to be known and misinterpreted. I should help them keep this secret, are you right?"

After speaking, he couldn't help kissing Xi Yang's eyelashes and the tip of his nose: "Then...how about us?"

"What will happen to us?"

...

Too many things happened that night, Zhou Tong slept intermittently for several hours, woke up again at dawn, felt the body temperature in his arms seemed a little high, so he stretched out his hand on his forehead in a daze I tried it and found that he really had a fever.

I can't remember how many times I did it, Zhou Tong only remembers that Xi Yang obeyed him in every possible way from the beginning to the end, taking whatever he wanted, and his body was so flexible that he couldn't break it, which made him go crazy half the night without restraint, now When I calm down, I feel extremely guilty.

Xi Yang was still sleeping, probably because he was really exhausted. Zhou Tong turned over and got out of bed, and covered him with the quilt lightly. Tong refused to let him go.

Criminal investigators also stay away from home all year round. Huo Ci usually stays at the bureau or goes to his parents' house for dinner, and occasionally brings people back to this house for overnight stays.The pots and pans in the kitchen are all new, the only handful of vermicelli has been cooked by Zhou Tong, there are only beer and drinks left in the refrigerator, a box of milk that has passed the expiration date long ago, and another one that has been stored for some time. The lemon used to deodorize is shriveled without any moisture.

Zhou Tong shirtless wandered around the house, from the living room to the bathroom to the bedroom, tidying up the messy sofa, soiled bathtub and overturned toiletries, picking up tissues and used condoms thrown on the floor along the way. , put it in a garbage bag, and I couldn’t find anything like a medicine box in the end, and I was too embarrassed to flip through it casually, so I had to put a cup of warm water on the bedside first, then went back to find my phone, and wanted to call Huo Ci to ask. .

The mobile phone fell into the gap of the sofa, and it had long since run out of power and automatically shut down.Zhou Tong glanced at the wall clock on the wall. It is now 06:30 in the morning, and the stalls selling breakfast should have already sold out. Convenience stores and pharmacies are also open 24 hours.He put on his clothes and packed his wallet, and wanted to buy medicine and breakfast before Xi Yang woke up, and worried that Xi Yang would be anxious if he didn't see anyone when he was away, so he found it in his trousers pocket. I took out his mobile phone, intending to leave a few words in the memo and put it next to the pillow so that he can read it when he wakes up.

Like the rest of the team, Xi Yang's mobile phone has no password. As soon as the screen is unlocked, WeChat pops up. On the top is a group of students from a certain school and a certain level whose name is composed of gaudy emoji expressions. The group owner is early in the morning. Sent a message @全员.

Zhou Tong is not someone who would peep at his boyfriend’s privacy, but he couldn’t hold back and did a little manipulation. He entered his ID to add himself as Xi Yang’s friend, modified the note, and chose to put it on the top. , and then quit WeChat, clicked on the memo and typed a message to Xi Yang.

When I came here last night, I went directly into the underground parking lot, and now I am a little confused about the direction when I walk out from the first floor.The environment of the community is quiet, away from the busy city, and there are no other shops besides banks, health care centers and real estate agencies at the door.After the snow melted, the road surface was a little muddy. Zhou Tong walked for a long time to find a pharmacy and a 7-Eleven. He bought medicines for reducing fever and anti-inflammation. He also bought hot custard buns and oden, a bottle of yogurt, a bottle of sugar-free oolong tea, and paid the bill. At that time, I took a bag of bear marshmallows from the shelf and put them in the shopping bag.

Winter in the north is always gray and gloomy, making people feel depressing. Zhou Tong rushed back after buying good things. Unexpectedly, it took more than 40 minutes to go back and forth, and many old people were already in good spirits. Going out to start morning exercises, the security guards at the gate have also changed shifts, and the one who just arrived is standing outside the sentry box with a big smile on his face, waving to the vehicles going out.

Last night, Huo Ci only said Zhou Tong once and he remembered the password.As soon as he pushed the door open after going upstairs, a gust of cold wind came through the hall and hit Zhou Tong's collar, which made him tremble all over, and he stood at the door with his things in his hands.

The windows were clearly closed when we left.

Is Huo Ci back?Zhou Tong felt an inexplicable panic, immediately closed the door and walked quickly into the bedroom, and found that the glass of water he poured was still on the head of the bed, and the quilt on the bed was also rolled up like when he left, and the window But it was wide open, and fresh air kept pouring into the room, making the traces of joy and ambiguous smell disappear without a trace, and Xi Yang disappeared.

The trainer is a self-disciplined and neat and orderly person. Zhou Tong guessed that he might be shy, embarrassed, and even regretful after he sobered up, but he just didn’t understand why he didn’t even spread the quilt or change his clothes, so he hurriedly avoided it. Himself, leaving so hastily.

That's it...don't want to see me?Zhou Tong's heart sank suddenly, and he was so sad that he was about to suffocate to death, and he clenched his fists hard to hold back the disappointing tears.He walked to the bed in frustration, sat down on the messy quilt, and after a long time of stunned, he remembered to find the newly bought power bank from the bag, disconnect the connection, hold it in his hand, and stare at the screen silently. waiting to boot.

The notification tone of the new news sounded one after another at the moment the signal was restored. Zhou Tong looked through it for a while in dejection, but he didn't see what he wanted to see, and he couldn't find the right tone and wording to contact Xi Yang, so he had to go first. I replied to Yao Hongwei, saying that I would ask for leave in the next two days to go to the head team to talk to him about the transfer, and then dialed Wen Yue who asked him when he would go back two hours ago.

It is impossible for Wen Yue to still be asleep at this time. The phone is connected, but he has not answered it after calling several times.Zhou Tong held his mobile phone and waited for a while, only then did he realize that someone had sent him a friend request from the recruit company group.

The application was sent last night. Looking at the silly head of the fire truck and the word "light bulb" in the verification message, Zhou Tong immediately clicked through. Unexpectedly, the other party sent a voice message at the first time, and the voice was excited. Zhou Tong was so scared that he kept turning down the volume while listening.

"Zhou Tong! It's me! Fu Shicai! Little light bulb! Do you remember me?"

Hearing the sound of the small light bulb, Zhou Tong instantly had the feeling of returning to the recruit company. He remembered the days when the war was like flying around, and his attention was also slightly diverted.

Knowing that Little Light Bulb had never been to school and could not read, he also replied by voice, telling him that of course he remembered him, and asking him how he was doing recently.

The little light bulb replied in seconds: "Very good, I also connected to the fire department in Chonghuai! I also bought a new mobile phone and just learned how to use it!"

Infected by his emotions, Zhou Tong couldn't help laughing too: "I heard that the No. [-] Fire Squadron of Chonghuaiping South District? My brother was also a soldier there before."

Little Light Bulb: "Really? What year? There are many photos on the wall of our reading room. What's your brother's name? Let me see which one is him?"

Zhou Tong recalled for a moment, and told the little light bulb when Zhou Yi joined the army: "...his name is Zhou Yi, and he looks...about the same as me."

Little Light Bulb: "That's easy to recognize, I'll look for it! I found it and took a picture for you to see. My mobile phone takes pictures very clearly, with 800 million pixels!"

Zhou Tong just pressed his thumb on the screen, and was about to tell Little Bulb that Zhou Yi was gone, when suddenly a phone call came in, interrupting what he had just said.

Huo Ci's voice was louder than a small light bulb.

"Where did you go? Why can't you get through the phone?"

Zhou Tong was taken aback: "I went out to buy something, what's the matter?"

"Hurry back to Secret Service!" Huo Ci seemed to be in a hurry on the phone. "problem occurs!"

Zhou Tong immediately got up and walked out, asking, "What happened? Do you know where the trainer is?"

There was a sound of the engine starting, Huo Ci put the phone into the holder, and turned on the speakerphone: "I called him just now when I couldn't find you, and he should be on his way back now."

"A hotel on Xinguang East Road caught fire, and several investigators from the Provincial Military Commission for Discipline Inspection came to investigate the fraud case and lived there!"

Zhou Tong had already entered the elevator when the phone was hung up.During the descent, people kept coming and going, the elevator stopped and went, and the signal was good and bad.Zhou Tong wanted to call Xi Yang but couldn't make a call. In desperation, he could only use WeChat to send a voice message to him, and then saw that the little light bulb really sent himself a picture.

Before the elevator reached the first floor, Zhou Tong clicked on the picture and looked at it, and found that the little light bulb really found the right person, and the picture was indeed very clear.

It was part of a group photo. Zhou Yi was standing among a row of teammates wearing an old training uniform. Both his appearance and temperament were so outstanding that it made people's eyes shine.

Zhou Tong stared at the photo for a few seconds, then moved his eyes unconsciously to the side, and landed on the face of a soldier beside Zhou Yi.The more he looked, the more he felt that the person looked familiar, as if he had seen it somewhere not long ago. However, when he continued to look down, he suddenly saw another more familiar face in the front row. make out.

Fair skin, delicate eyebrows, dignified temperament, and that bright smile that Zhou Tong has never seen before.

In an instant, countless scenes and moments began to piece together flashbacks in my mind.Zhou Tong's pupils suddenly constricted, and the hand holding the phone trembled slightly.He remembered, and remembered that the person standing next to Zhou Yi was Tao Weinan whom he had just met last night, and the one in the front row was undoubtedly Xi Yang, the boyfriend who was still sleeping in his arms this morning. instructor.
