24 Lies

Chapter 18

Gao Xiaoyu stopped in front of a fruit stand.

He stood for a long time, finally picked out a bag of custard apples, and paid 23 yuan.

He carried the bag of Sakyamuni and walked home slowly under the scorching sun.

When he comes home recently, he always sees a bag of fruit hanging on the doorknob.

Who sent it, Gao Xiaoyu knows.

In response, Gao Xiaoyu always hangs a bag of fruit on the doorknob of Chen Zhou's house when he returns home.

Even if they met near their homes, they would not stop each other from talking, they would always look at each other from a distance, and then hurriedly avoided.

But Gao Xiaoyu sensed it sensitively, and Chen Zhou followed him.

Although he doesn't care.

The exchange of fruit has lasted for almost a month.They sent each other lychees, pears, papayas, bananas, guavas, tamarins...

Because he knew that he would see a bag of fruit on the doorknob when he returned home, Gao Xiaoyu would be in a happy mood every time he returned home. This boring game of reciprocating peaches and plums gave him a sense of expectation for life.

But his sense of anticipation stopped three days ago.

For three days, Chen Zhou didn't hang a bag of fruit in front of his house.

When they got downstairs, when they passed by Chen Zhou's house on the first floor, Gao Xiaoyu hung the bag of Sakyamuni on the doorknob, stood there for a while, and then went upstairs without saying a word.

After walking a few steps, he turned back again, took the bag of Sakyamuni back to his hand, and stopped at the door of Chen Zhou's house for a while.

After waiting for a long time, Gao Xiaoyu finally knocked on the door.

At this moment, Chen Zhou was leaning against the cabinet, smoking a cigarette and listening to his boss's phone call.

The boss asked, "Is there anything unusual about the target?"

Chen Zhou replied in a very soft voice: "No."

"Has anyone ever looked for him?"

"No."

"Report the situation in time."

"clear."

Chen Zhou hung up the phone, continued to smoke, and did not open the door immediately.

There was no movement outside the door.

He still didn't move, just waiting quietly.

After a while, the door rang again.Again three beeps, this time the knock was lighter and more careful, and one could hear some uncertainty and some hesitation.

Chen Zhou bit his cigarette and walked up to open the door.

Standing at the door, Gao Xiaoyu saw the door open, and at first the expression on her face seemed to be frightened.

Soon he lowered his head, hesitant to speak, as if he was a little embarrassed and embarrassed.

Want to ask.But it's not easy to ask.How to ask?Why don't you send me fruit?That's too much of a psycho.It's just a bag of fruit every day, it doesn't seem to mean anything, so what can it mean?Even if it stops, it should be as if nothing happened.

Chen Zhou took a puff of cigarette, and asked first, "Is there something wrong?"

Gao Xiaoyu pushed her glasses, quickly thought of an excuse, and said, "I forgot to bring the keys. I just called the locksmith...can I sit at your house for a while?"

Chen Zhou sized him up for two seconds before showing a smile.

"Of course, please come in."

Gao Xiaoyu said thank you in a low voice, and walked into his house with a trace of joy.

Chen Zhou put out his cigarette, poured Gao Xiaoyu a glass of water, and asked, "Why did you forget the key?"

Gao Xiaoyu bowed her head, and began to lie without changing her face: "I woke up from a nap today, and I was a little anxious when I went to school, so I forgot to take it. It's not good to live alone. I forgot to bring the key and no one helped to open the door."

"School." Chen Zhou said, "Are you a teacher?"

"Well, teach music."

Chen Zhou nodded: "Very good, you don't have to work as hard as us."

"Tea factory... Are you tired?"

"It's okay." Chen Zhou said, "You need to have strong hands. I'm in charge of making tea. I'm not tired, just boring. I keep doing one thing."

"Teaching... is actually the same." Gao Xiaoyu said, "It's quite boring, maybe work is very boring."

Silence for a few seconds.

Gao Xiaoyu introduced herself somewhat redundantly: "My name is... I am Gao Xiaoyu, Yu Yu."

Chen Zhou nodded: "Yeah."

He hummed and didn't say anything, nor did he say what his name was.

It's like waiting for the other person to take the initiative to ask.

Gao Xiaoyu is not a talkative person.He pinched his index finger, frowned, and asked that sentence: "You...what's your name?"

Chen Zhou lowered his head and played with a lighter.

"Chen Zhou." He said, "My name is Chen Zhou, and Zhou is... the boat of the boat."

Gao Xiaoyu lowered his head, he was a little embarrassed: "Yes."

Chen Zhou pointed to the bag of things on the table and asked, "For me?"

Gao Xiaoyu nodded.

"What is it?" Chen Zhou took one out to look, "I am not from your place, and I have never seen many fruits here."

"Shakya, it is also called Hydrangea fruit in some places."

Chen Zhouzai looked at the green fruit carefully for a while, then slowly said: "Do you think it looks a bit like a heart?"

Gao Xiaoyu's eyes were on the custard he was holding at first, then she looked down to see Chen Zhou's hand, and said with a smile: "Who's heart will grow so piercing."

Because of this sentence, Chen Zhou raised his eyes and began to look at Gao Xiaoyu seriously.

Been in love all my life.Mingzheng looked at Zheng Guanyu, thinking about Li Zhiyuan's request in his heart, and fell into a brief absence.

Zheng Guanyu's eyes are very bright, which is not the effect that lighting can produce.Mingzheng has to admit that Zheng Guanyu performed the feeling of seeing a thousand years at a glance, which may be called Gu Panshengqing.

With just this one look, you can see how long he has been suppressed.

But why did Chen Zhou like him?Ming Zheng didn't understand.He even felt that he shouldn't perform the feeling of "being in love for a lifetime".Is there no reason why literary and artistic movies are like this? Why do you have to act in love for a lifetime just by meeting a few times and saying a few words?

Doesn't love need to follow logic?

Maybe love has no logic.

The two had just exchanged names, and they were actually in love for the rest of their lives.

really weird.

Ming Zheng didn't know what his expression was on the camera, he only knew that he was distracted for a while, and he couldn't catch the trend of Zheng Guanyu's play.

But the director never called cut, Ming Zheng could only continue acting.

He bit the bullet and looked at Zheng Guanyu——

The room was quiet, and the staff did not dare to take a breath.It was too quiet, Mingzheng could only hear the sound of the film rolling in the camera next to him, as well as his own breathing and heartbeat.

Where is it better to look?Ming Zheng chose to focus on Zheng Guanyu's mouth.He began to imagine the feeling that Zheng Guanyu had said - when Chen Zhou appeared, Gao Xiaoyu's world was turned upside down.

Ming Zheng had to admit that being looked at by Zheng Guanyu like this was very stressful.Mature and talented actors can act with aura. Zheng Guanyu's plays are too full. If you look at him this way, you will have the illusion that you have been loved by him for a long, long time.

But Chen Zhou only followed Gao Xiaoyu for a month.

Follow him, watch him go to and from get off work, repeat the boring routine.

Gao Xiaoyu doesn't like to talk, and is very withdrawn. When she walks, she lowers her head slightly and always frowns.

no friends.

I like to wear white clothes and look very quiet.

Gone.This should be all Chen Zhou observed.He felt that Gao Xiaoyu lived very cautiously, depressed, and even a little pitiful.

Like a person who will disappear tomorrow.

Will anyone remember him?

Having loved him for a lifetime, Ming Zheng thought about this sentence.He felt that his heart was sinking and sinking, but he couldn't find a suitable landing point, just floating like that.

What was it like?It's like... the world in front of me retreats to one side, and only him is left in my mind, all of him.

The mouth opened and closed slightly, and asked, "Will I...will disturb you?"

Chen Zhou shook his head: "No. It's boring to be alone at home. I'm glad you came."

After finishing speaking, Chen Zhou put down the Sakyamuni.

Then he asked, "Do you have your balcony windows open?"

Gao Xiaoyu froze for a moment before nodding: "It seems... to be on."

"Let me open the door for you, and wait at the door when you go home."

After speaking, Chen Zhou took off his overalls, leaving only a white vest.He took a few strides to the edge of the balcony and jumped up lightly.

Gao Xiaoyu seemed to be frightened, she came back to her senses when Chen Zhou was gone, and ran to the balcony to watch in a few strides—Chen Zhou had already reached the window of his house by climbing the iron railing.

Gao Xiaoyu opened his eyes wide and raised his head to look up. He felt that it would be dangerous to climb up with bare hands like this, but he didn't know what came to his mind, so he didn't say anything to stop him, just looked up in a daze.

That dazed expression was Zheng Guanyu's very real reaction, he was genuinely worried.Before the shooting, Mingzheng tried to climb once to show everyone, saying that he was completely fine and did not need any safety measures, so he just took pictures casually.The director also knew that he had martial arts skills, so he just put a cushion under it symbolically.

Maybe everyone thought it was okay and nothing would happen, but Zheng Guanyu was still very worried.

When Gao Xiaoyu was still at a loss, Chen Zhou had already turned into his house.

After being stunned for a few seconds, Gao Xiaoyu hurriedly ran back——

As soon as he ran upstairs, the door of his own house just opened.

Chen Zhou came out of his house and said with a smile, "Go back, remember to bring the key with you in the future."

Gao Xiaoyu looked at him speechlessly: "...how did you manage to turn it up? It's dangerous."

"It's not too high, just one floor." Chen Zhou smiled relaxedly, "If you can't fall to your death, what are you afraid of?"

This line was vaguely familiar, and it successfully made Zheng Guanyu dazzled.

He bowed his head.

Chen Zhou in front of him smiled, "Why this expression, are you afraid that I will sneak into your house while you are not in the future, and don't worry about me?"

After a pause, Gao Xiaoyu asked softly, "Can you do it?"

Chen Zhou looked at him, and said in a joking tone: "If it is true, are you afraid?"

Gao Xiaoyu stopped talking.

One second, two seconds, three seconds.

He seemed to have entered a strange state, just staring at Chen Zhou blankly.

"Don't be afraid." Gao Xiaoyu finally said, "My window will always be open, you can come anytime."
