soul resonance

The windows are bright and clean, and in the plain vase on the coffee table in the living room, there are a few beautiful red roses, which Zhou Duo brought back from going out in the morning.

In the early morning, he passed by the flower shop in the old street, and the fresh and warm roses had just been moved out of the greenhouse, and they were facing the cold wind and fragrant.

The fiery red color was full of vitality in the desolate street, and it was unusually eye-catching. Seeing that he was in a good mood, he wanted to show his little crane, so he bought a few.

He took the trimmed rose back home and waited quietly all morning for the arrival of another person who would appreciate it.

The rich fragrance of flowers filled a corner of the living room, but it seemed that the other person who came here didn't notice it.

"What's the matter? Is it uncomfortable to sit here?" Zhou Duo asked when he saw that Xu Heqi was always distracted while reading.

Since the two of them tasted the warmth and sweetness of nesting on the carpet and doing homework together last week, they completely abandoned the neat and cold study room and changed the original place of reading and reviewing to here.

But there was not much space between the sofa and the coffee table. Sitting cross-legged on the carpet would definitely not be as comfortable as the chairs in the study. Zhou Duo was afraid that Xu Heqi would not be satisfied with the sitting.

"No, it's quite comfortable." Xu Heqi recovered and smiled, but he just moved the corners of his mouth mechanically, and there was no smile in his eyes. They were already used to smiling at each other, so this was just a subconscious movement.

"What's the matter? Are you distracted? Are you bored?" Zhou Duo could see it clearly and continued to ask.

"Maybe I'm a little tired from studying." Xu Heqi made an excuse, "Leave me alone and read at ease!"

Family matters are on his mind, and he can't resolve them for a while. He always thinks about them unconsciously. He knows that his mother has not given up on the idea of ​​selling the house, so he is particularly anxious.

But he didn't plan to let Zhou Duo know about it for the time being, it was their family's business, there was no reason for Zhou Duo to worry about it with him.

Although his boyfriend, a rich second generation, may be able to help him solve the problem, he still doesn't want the other party to get involved.

Money is the thing that can corrupt people's hearts the most. He hopes that their communication will be equal and not mixed with any interests.

Zhou Duo took a look at his phone, it was only past two o'clock, and they had less than an hour to review.

tired?How can it be!

Normally Xu Heqi could read books for hours without moving, and he wouldn't stop unless he reminded the other party.

Xu Heqi had something on his mind, Zhou Duo took a look at him and guessed it.

"Wait for me, I'll give you something!" Seeing that Xu Heqi was unhappy, Zhou Duo wanted to make him happy. He had planned to give Xu Heqi a present on his birthday next month, but he decided to give it ahead of time.

As for the birthday present, let's talk about it later, he can find a better one!

He stood up and walked towards the bedroom, and came out holding a wooden box after a while.

The box was made of golden nanmu, which was extremely delicate. Xu Heqi didn't know what was inside, but he knew that it was probably for him.

He was a little entangled, if it was too expensive, he would not accept it, but wouldn't it be a disappointment to Zhou Duo not to accept it.

"Come and have a look." Zhou Duo was a little excited, but also a little apprehensive. It was the first time he formally gave a gift to Xu Heqi, and he didn't know if the other party would like it.

His skills are not superb, and he is afraid that the carved things will be different from the previous ones.

"What is it?" Xu Heqi held the box carefully. He also cherished it very much when he received a gift for the first time, but it dilutes the previous melancholy a little.

"You'll know when you open it." Zhou Duo put it off.

Xu Heqi put the box on the coffee table, opened it gently, and his eyes turned red in an instant.

Inside the box lay a carved wooden bookmark. The bookmark was rectangular, and a crane was carved in the middle. .

"Whispering you... where did you come from?" Xu Heqi asked in a trembling voice.

Zhou Duo licked his lips embarrassingly, "I carved it. I learned from Li Beijun for a few days. I don't know how to carve it very well. I don't know if it is the same as your previous one. If you practice in the future, you will definitely be able to carve better."

Xu's father has passed away, and the promised bookmark can no longer be carved for his little crane. He thinks that he will carve the bookmark for the other party in the future.

Xu Heqi bit his lips, remembering that a while ago, Zhou Duo was always listless and sleepy during the day, and there were many small wounds on his hands. He thought that the other party didn't know where to play, but it turned out It's for him.

But he obviously didn't care at that time, but the other party still secretly wrote down this matter.

What's more, they were not together at that time, and Zhou Duo's dedication may not be rewarded in the end.

He couldn't imagine what kind of mood the other party felt when he practiced against the wood over and over again in the middle of the night, and when the carving knife scratched his hand all over the wound.

"Very similar, exactly the same as the previous one." He held back his tears and looked up at Zhou Duo, feeling sore in his heart. At this moment, Xu Heqi didn't know what to say, so he had to say in the end: "Brother ,Thank you."

Looking at the corners of his reddened eyes, Zhou Duo was at a loss. He stretched out his hand to touch it, and the wetness was hot on his fingertips, "Why are you being polite to me, as long as you like it, but I'm afraid I can't do it well."

"No, you did a good job!" Xu Heqi hugged Zhou Duo's hand and shook his head. It's not that he didn't do a bad job, but he did a great job.

It was so good that he didn't know what to say or how to repay him. He thought that as long as he liked Zhou Duo as well, he would not be considered a disappointment to him. Walk alone and come to him with full of love.

He thought their likes were the same and equal, but now he knew that Zhou Duo's love was like an iceberg, and what he saw would never be as much as what was hidden underneath.

"Why are you so nice!" Xu Heqi buried his head on Zhou Duo's chest, "You're so nice, if you want to break up with me one day, I'll definitely be reluctant, and I will rely on you even if you stalk me .”

"If you dare to break up with me, I'll tie you up with a rope and lock you up in my house, making you scream every day and be incapacitated, and you can only stay with me."

"Then there is no need to trouble you." Zhou Duo hugged Xu Heqi and kissed his hair, "You don't need to tie me up, I will always be by your side."

There was always a day when Xu Heqi didn't want him, how could there be a day when he didn't want him? !

Xu He huddled in Zhou Duo's arms full of attachment. The bookmark that the other party gave him was not just a bookmark, it was the other party's reassembly of the old days before his eyes.

It was a surprise that he lost and found in the years!

From now on, the things he used to enshrine his thoughts not only have bits and pieces of the past, but also expectations for the future.

"Are you in a better mood?" The two hugged for a while and then sat back to their original positions. Sweetness is sweetness, touch is touchiness, and the man still has to focus on his studies.

"How do you know I'm in a bad mood?" Xu Heqi sniffed, originally he didn't intend to talk about family matters with Zhou Duo.

But through the bookmark, he felt that it was okay to talk to Zhou Duo.

"If I can't tell that my boyfriend is in a bad mood, then I'm doomed." Zhou Duo tilted his head and smiled at him.

"Actually, it's not that I'm in a bad mood, I'm just thinking about something." Xu Heqi played with the bookmark, rubbing his fingers gently back and forth, using his skin and body temperature to re-polish the lost thing, "something happened at home .”

"Is it convenient for you to tell me?" Zhou Duo sat up, subconsciously thinking that this might be a very important matter, but he didn't know if Xu Heqi would like to talk to him.

"It's not impossible to say." Xu Heqi was relieved after being silent for a while, "Do you still remember the last time you came to my house? It was the day before the National Day holiday."

Zhou Duo recalled that time when he heard someone from the Xu family arguing, fearing that something would happen to Xu Heqi, he knocked on the door rashly and walked in.

"Actually, you knocked on the door because you heard the movement in the yard that day." Xu Heqi suddenly remembered that Zhou Duo liked him at that time, and he was reluctant to leave after sending him home. quarrel, so only knocked on the door.

Zhou Duo confessed: "You were injured that day. I was very scared. I always felt that you would be in danger. I wanted to follow you to protect you but I had no position. So after you went home, I went around and had nowhere to go, so I went back. When I got to your house, I didn't know that when I came back, I heard your house was arguing again. I was afraid that something would happen to you, so I knocked on the door rashly."

"Actually, the people who were in my house that day were my uncle and my second uncle. My father passed away due to illness. He borrowed a lot of money from relatives and friends to treat his illness. They came to ask for the debt that day, but my family has not paid for it for the time being." , so the words were a little more intense, but it’s actually okay.” Xu Heqi glanced at Zhou Duo as he spoke, and was slightly relieved when he saw that his expression hadn’t changed.

He was afraid that the other party would look at him with sympathy, that was the last thing he needed, but luckily Zhou Duo didn't.

"The family owes a lot of debt, and I need a lot of money to go to college. My mother was worried, so she thought about selling the house to pay off the debt and pay for my college education, but I don't want to sell the house." Xu Heqi said A little helpless, he looked at Zhou Duo with imperceptible stubbornness in his eyes, "In order to keep this house, my father directly stopped his own medicine, which led to the loss of the last chance of rescue, so I think no matter what Keep the house too."

But the world is safe and secure, the reality is in front of you, it is not easy to keep that house, as the saying goes, half a penny is hard for a hero, not to mention that his family is not short of half a penny .

Zhou Duo opened his mouth, wanting to say that I will help you, but he just remembered how he got his money. He really didn't want his little crane to spend such a shitty money.

Besides, when he looked at Xu Heqi, the other party would not be willing to let him pay the money.

"Brother, what do you want to say?" Xu Heqi saw Zhou Duo hesitate to speak.

"I want to say, there will be a solution. Don't we still have a year before the college entrance examination? It's still early, and there will always be a solution." In the end, he still didn't say anything to help. Not for help.

"That's what I thought too. I figured it out. If I can get the first place in the college entrance examination, I will get a bonus of 30 to [-] yuan, and the family situation will be much better. Although the money hole may not be filled, but in the end It will be better." He was glad that Zhou Duo understood him, understood his self-esteem, and knew his thoughts.

"You can definitely do it!" Don't say anything else, blindly believe in Xu Heqi. In the matter of Zhou Duo's second place, no one would dare to take the first place. stood by.

That's right, he was a little embarrassed, where did he get the money?
