he is afraid, he pretends

Wen Siyuan didn't know exactly when Wu Luming fell asleep, but when he gradually felt that the palms were no longer moist, he gently lifted the face buried in his palms up a little, and saw that Wu Luming had closed his eyes, Breathing also becomes longer.

Seeing this, he stretched out his other hand to grab the pillow above the bed, and then carefully placed Wu Luming's head on it.

He didn't leave right away after doing this.

Wu Luming's forehead was still burning, but it seemed to be less severe than before.

Looking at the person in front of him who had finally fallen asleep, Wen Siyuan thought for a while, and finally did not wake him up again, but got up, turned on the flashlight of his mobile phone, and walked to the table at the end of the bed.

On the table were several medicines that Wu Luming took just now.

Wen Siyuan took the medicine bottles and checked them one by one, and the brows that had just been relaxed for a long time were furrowed together again.

These medicines are not just antipyretics, they even contain sedative and analgesic ingredients, and they are all prescription medicines that need to be taken according to the doctor's advice.

Wen Siyuan took a few bottles of medicine and looked at them for a long time, but finally just put the medicine back to its original position, walked back to the floor mat next to the bed and sat down again.

According to the symptom description on the medicine bottle, two to three hours after taking it, the pain will be temporarily aggravated. After these few hours, the medicine's effect will come out slowly.

Wen Siyuan stayed by Wu Luming's bed for more than an hour, during which time he found a thermometer in the medicine box on the table in the room.

He took Wu Luming's body temperature every 10 minutes, and when it was close to two o'clock at night, Wu Luming's body temperature finally returned to normal.

Two o'clock was already the limit for Wen Siyuan, who barely made it through the night, but he still endured and waited for another 10 minutes. He took Wu Luming's temperature again to confirm that he didn't have a fever, and then put the thermometer back to its original position. , went back to the room to sleep.

He didn't know how long it had been since he fell asleep, when he vaguely heard the sound of the door opening and closing.

Wen Siyuan hadn't slept deeply. When he heard the noise, he subconsciously touched his phone and checked the time, only to find that it was only five o'clock in the morning.

I fell asleep late last night, and my head was a little groggy.

Just when he turned off his phone and was about to go back to sleep, there was another sound of footsteps outside the door.

The second elder slept on the first floor, and Wen Siyuan and Wu Luming lived on the second floor.

At this point, the second elder suddenly went upstairs for no reason, realizing the only possibility for the outsider, Wen Siyuan woke up in an instant.

He hesitated for a moment, but finally got up and went out.

There was no one in the dark corridor.

As soon as Wen Siyuan looked up, he saw the door of Wu Luming's room was open, and the quilt on the bed inside the door was spread evenly.

At this moment, the sound of the door opening suddenly came from downstairs.

Wen Siyuan didn't think much about it, and quickly went back to the room, changed clothes casually, took the phone and went downstairs.

When he went out, Wu Luming's figure just missed the fork in the path near his home.

It’s still dark at five o’clock in winter, but it’s not as dark as it is late at night, and it can roughly illuminate the surrounding things.

Coupled with the fact that the street lights were not dimmed, Wen Siyuan walked to the fork in the road and saw a figure walking slowly forward about ten meters away.

It was the first time Wen Siyuan saw Wu Luming not wearing red clothes.

The boy was wrapped in a gray down jacket today, and under the down jacket was a pair of black corduroy trousers.

Although the dress was different from the previous few days, the hat, scarf and gloves were still tightly covered.

Wen Siyuan stepped forward to stop Wu Luming and followed him for a while to deliberate, seeing Wu Luming walking quietly with his head buried, he finally chose the latter.

With such a short distance, he followed Wu Luming all the way up the mountain.

Standing at the door of the hut, you can see a mountain that is not too high.

When Wen Siyuan followed Wu Luming to the top of the mountain, it happened to be dawn just in time.

The first ray of sunshine in the morning sprinkled on the mountain, making the white-capped mountain a bit dazzling.

Wen Siyuan watched Wu Luming walk to the steep edge of the mountain, closed his eyes and slightly raised his head to face Chuyang, standing still without moving.

Probably because of crying for too long last night, Wu Luming's eyes were slightly red, and the redness was reflected on his usual pale face, giving people a feeling that he was a little more complex than usual.

Wen Siyuan stood quietly a few meters behind Wu Luming and didn't make a sound. He looked at the person facing the sun in front of him, and felt that this moment was so peaceful and comfortable.

However, this comfort did not last long.

Wu Luming, who had closed his eyes for a long time, opened them, and suddenly glanced at the cliff below, and then stretched out a leg.

At that moment, Wen Siyuan felt his heart was lifted violently, and the cold air shot up from the soles of his feet to his whole body.

Before he even had time to think, he yelled, "Wu Luming!"

There was a rare anger in the voice.

Wu Luming on the edge of the cliff paused when he heard the sound, then slowly retracted his legs, and turned to look at Wen Siyuan with a face full of astonishment.

When he saw Wen Siyuan's expression, he was taken aback again, as if he was a little frightened.

The young man stood upright on the edge of the cliff, opened his mouth, as if he wanted to say something, but before he could say something, he saw Wen Siyuan stretching out his hand towards him, and then said to him in a serious tone never before: "Come here. "

Wu Luming didn't react for a while, and stared blankly at Wen Siyuan for a while, before he realized that he opened his legs and walked towards Wen Siyuan.

He walked up to Wen Siyuan, looked at Wen Siyuan's hand that was still raised in mid-air, thought for a while, and finally put his knitted gloved hand on it.

As soon as he put it on, Wen Siyuan grabbed him with some force.

Wu Luming didn't feel any pain, he just looked at Wen Siyuan and asked, "Brother Yuan, why are you here?"

Wen Siyuan didn't beat around the bush: "I heard the sound of you going out, so I followed you."

Wu Luming was obviously taken aback when he heard this answer.

"Why didn't you call me earlier?"

"Want to see where you're going."

Wen Siyuan answered every sentence confidently and confidently, but it made Wu Luming feel a little confused about what to answer for a while.

When it was quiet, Wen Siyuan's voice sounded again: "What are you doing up the mountain?"

Wu Luming blinked his eyes lightly, and exhaled white mist: "I woke up at four o'clock and suddenly couldn't sleep, so I wanted to watch the sunrise."

Wen Siyuan listened to Wu Luming's answer, then glanced at the place where Wu Luming was standing just now, and didn't make a sound right away.

Wu Luming followed his line of sight, as if guessing what he was thinking, and when he was thinking about opening his mouth, Wen Siyuan's voice sounded first again: "I see there is a gazebo over there, you can go there to watch the sunrise look."

Wu Luming subconsciously agreed, and the two of them quickly appeared in the gazebo.

Wen Siyuan didn't let go of Wu Luming's hand until he walked to the gazebo and sat down.

After being released, there was a little warmth in the hands.

Wu Luming sat on the chair in the gazebo, looked down several times at the hand that seemed to still have the warmth of Wen Siyuan's hand, and finally stuffed it slowly into the pocket of the down jacket.

After stuffing, he turned his face slightly and glanced at the person sitting beside him.

Both of them sat facing the sun. At this time, the sun is slowly climbing up, illuminating the world bit by bit, and at the same time, it seems to be able to clear away the haze in people's hearts.

During this week, Wu Luming spent most of the time staring at Wen Siyuan.

Watch Wen Siyuan work, watch Wen Siyuan read a book, watch Wen Siyuan drink water and eat.

No matter what Wen Siyuan does, he feels serious and rigorous, making it easy for people to follow along and calm down.

However, after paying attention for so long before, Wu Luming hardly paid attention to Wen Siyuan's appearance.

Looking at the side face of the man in the morning sun, Wu Luming suddenly found that Wen Siyuan seemed to be in good shape.

Wen Siyuan's skin color should be considered medium-to-white among men, and his whiteness is completely healthy, rosy and complex.

The man's lips are thin, but the lip shape is obvious, the bridge of the nose is just right, the gold-rimmed glasses soften the facial lines of his entire face, coupled with the black and smooth hair, no matter how you look at it, he looks good.

Wu Luming sat on a chair, stared at Wen Siyuan for a long time, and suddenly said, "Brother Yuan."

Wen Siyuan looked at him upon hearing the sound.

The two looked at each other.

Wu Luming's eyelashes trembled slightly, and he continued softly: "I remember everything you said last night."

He half closed his eyes as he said, as if he was thinking: "Did you have a lot of confusion when you were young?"

"Yes." Wen Siyuan agreed.

Hearing this, Wu Luming turned his head to look at the slowly rising sun.

"Do you wonder why the sun rises every day, why do fish live in water, why are people human, and why do they live in this world?"

"Yes." Wen Siyuan replied again.

"So have you figured out the result?"

"No."

Wu Luming listened to Wen Siyuan's almost thoughtless answer, and turned his face to look at Wen Siyuan again.

Wen Siyuan also looked down at him.

"Last night, you said that you saw a beast that broke free from the cage with its sharp claws." Wen Siyuan said suddenly.

Wu Luming froze, but soon heard Wen Siyuan continue: "Actually, everyone is the same. Everyone has been accompanied by cages of different shapes since birth. A thousand people may be trapped by a thousand different cages. Things got stuck."

"There are too many unknowns in this world. Maybe every question has at least one answer, but certainly not everyone can know the answer to every question. If solving a question is your lifelong pursuit, then don't worry about it." Everything else is buried in the solution, if the answer to this question is not a life-and-death pursuit for you, and in the process of solving it will drag you into the abyss for a while, then it is not necessarily a bad thing to let go of thinking about it for a while. The older a person grows up, the more non-absolute problems they will encounter, and the answers to these non-absolute problems are often not defined in a few words or by someone."

Listening to Wen Siyuan's words, Wu Luming slowly lowered his eyes.

After a long, long time, he seemed to have just figured out the meaning of the words, and gently agreed.

The two watched the sun cover the entire mountain from the top of the mountain before getting up and going down the mountain.

The downhill road was slippery, and both of them walked very slowly.

People rarely come to the mountain after it snows, and the snow on the mountain road is so thick that you can directly cover your ankles if you step on it.

When I went up the mountain, I just came out of a warm house, so I didn’t feel too cold. I stayed on the top of the mountain for almost an hour before walking on the snowy road. Rao Wen Siyuan, who has hot hands and feet all the year round, didn’t take two steps. It was too cold to feel.

After walking nearly one-fifth of the way, Wen Siyuan stopped suddenly, and at the same time stretched out his hand to hold Wu Luming.

For the sake of safety, Wu Luming didn't put his hands in his pockets when he went down the mountain.

It has been blowing in the cold wind for about ten minutes, even with gloves on, Wen Siyuan's hands are still cold when he pulls it.

Therefore, Wen Siyuan didn't say anything else, and directly said to Wu Luming, "I'll carry you down the mountain."

Wu Luming was indeed a little unresponsive from the cold.

So after Wen Siyuan's words came out, he looked at the person in front of him for a long while and didn't come back to his senses.

Seeing this, Wen Siyuan squatted down in front of Wu Luming, and said, "I looked at the medicines on your table last night, and they can't be taken many times in a short period of time. I have to leave at ten o'clock this morning. If you If you have a fever again, and you don’t want to let the elderly know about it, what will you do then?”

Hearing Wen Siyuan's words, Wu Luming was even more stunned.

It wasn't until he met Wen Siyuan's gaze, under the irrefutable gaze of the other party, that he reacted slowly, and climbed onto Wen Siyuan's back with hands and feet.

It was much easier for Wen Siyuan to carry Wu Luming on his back than expected.

Wu Luming's light weight made him frown for a moment, but he didn't say much, but walked down the mountain silently with Wu Luming on his back.

The young man on his back hugged his neck with his hands awkwardly, and his hair brushed against the back of his neck from time to time, causing itches.

Wen Siyuan endured the itching for half the way, and when he finally couldn't take it anymore and was about to speak, he suddenly heard a very soft question from behind.

"Brother Yuan, do you... also have a cage that traps you?"

The mountain road was quiet for two to three minutes before Wen Siyuan's voice sounded.

He didn't answer Wu Luming's question, but only said: "Hate can be a cage, but love can also be."
