sunk in yesterday

The new young master of the Xia family has been chasing a man for a whole year - what Mrs. Bai heard was not adulterated.

When school was about to start, Xia Zhuo and Guan Yuzhou went back to school together.

He is very popular and met many friends who took the initiative to say hello along the way.

In the past, these friends would just call out his name, and then ask him if he would like to make an appointment to play ball or games in two days.

But now that the enthusiasm in the circle of friends has not subsided, they took advantage of the opportunity to look at Guan Yuzhou, and wished them a happy wedding and a happy marriage for a hundred years in a joking and teasing tone.

Xia Zhuo smiled from beginning to end, without much explanation, Guan Yuzhou also nodded politely to them one by one.Over time, under the guidance of the spirit of spreading the word, the whole school knew that Xia Zhuo had a very good friend named Guan Yuzhou.

How good is it?That's probably the kind that won't get annoyed if you make fun of them.

Not long after that, in another year when the cherry blossoms were in full bloom, Xia Zhuo was elected to the stage of the music festival.

On this stage, several people who took the opportunity to show their love over the years, he also joined in, holding a microphone in his hand and singing a song as a gift, announcing to everyone that it was sung for the object of his unilateral pursuit.

While everyone sighed for his hopeless voice, a wave of gossip started.

Some people guessed that he liked Xihua, and some guessed that it was young and beautiful teaching assistants. Only a few seemed to have seen some signs of it, but they dared not draw conclusions.

After all, Xia Zhuo and Guan Yuzhou often appear together, saying that unilateral pursuit is unrealistic, so everyone guessed and guessed but did not get an answer.Only the dormmates who held the script were full of mourning, saying that they knew too much, and since ancient times, the national teacher was so short-lived, and the three of them howled exaggeratedly in front of Xia Zhuo, and finally harassed him unbearably , promised to treat them with a meal to stop their mouths, and only then did they get their ears clean.

After the lively music festival, Xia Zhuo and Guan Yuzhou went to the school's grove.

When he saw someone, he asked, "How is my singing?"

Hearing this tone, he was not conscious at all, Guan Yuzhou pursed his lips and smiled, and asked him, "What do you think?"

"Of course it's good." Xia Zhuo said seriously, "I prepared for three nights."

Guan Yuzhou still smiled, noncommittal.

"It was agreed to go to the boat before, are you free on Saturday?" Xia Zhuo asked himself the same answer, and then said: "But now the junior students should be busy setting up the topic, have you chosen it?"

The evening wind was slightly intoxicating, and Guan Yuzhou's voice became gentler: "Not yet, but I'm free on Saturday."

When he agreed, Xia Zhuo excitedly planned what to bring, food and drink, things to spread on the floor, things to keep out insects and moisture... A bunch of messy things, like chanting scriptures, popped out of his mouth word by word.

Guan Yuzhou, on the other hand, listened to him patiently, occasionally interjecting that something could be bought immediately, and there was no need to carry such a heavy bag.

When they were tired from walking, they found a bench and sat down. The street lamp next to them stood alone. Occasionally, laughter passed by across the bush. Guan Yuzhou leaned on the back of the chair. There was a rustling sound.

"what!"

Suddenly something fell on his face, Xia Zhuo thought it was a bug, raised his hand and grabbed a petal.

Guan Yuzhou looked at the sound, Xia Zhuo held the petal and handed it to him, complaining, "It hit me."

One person stepped forward to pick it up, the other stretched forward, and the fingertips of both sides touched together in the dark night.

Xia Zhuo shook as if it was hot, and the petals swirled in the wind and drifted away.Before Guan Yuzhou could react, Xia Zhuo grabbed his fingertips again and gently entangled him.

Guan Yuzhou was only stunned for two seconds, he slowly lowered his wrist, and put Xia Zhuo's hand on the chair together.

This kind of contact is very straightforward, and the slightly cool body temperature is conveyed clearly. Xia Zhuo pretended to be indifferent and looked at the street lamp, and his heart was already pounding.Even if they slept in the same bed, they had never leaned against each other. He was afraid that he would be thrown out of the house, so he left a line of Chuhehan boundary in a very gentlemanly manner.But after sitting like this for only 5 minutes, he felt that the arm that had not been moved for a long time became stiff, and he was afraid that Guan Yuzhou would not be held by him if he moved it. There were fine beads of sweat oozing from the palm of his hand, and he felt overwhelmed all over his body. like enthusiasm.

When he was wondering whether he should avoid being noticed the wetness in his hands, Guan Yuzhou withdrew first, "Go back, there is morning class tomorrow."

It was already 09:30 when I left the auditorium, and now nearly an hour has passed.

There was still another person's body temperature on his fingertips. Xia Zhuo couldn't tell whether it was disappointment or other emotions. He smiled and turned his hands away, as if he wanted to secretly hide something beautiful, "Okay~"

In the eyes of the roommates, there is actually no difference between the two of them and being in a relationship.

After all, after hearing that kind of tragic singing, he can still keep his face unchanged. What is Guan Yuzhou's true love for him?

For this kind of evaluation, Xia Zhuo was sure that they were jealous of his good voice, and several people rolled their eyes when they heard it, and rejected his proposal to go to KTV to compete.

Two days later, on the weekend, Xia Zhuo and Guan Yuzhou took the bus to a remote wetland park with his backpack on his back.It is said that they are here for a cruise, but it is no different from a family of three with children on a spring outing next to them. When they are tired from shopping, they sit on the grass and enjoy the flowers and trees.

Looking at the falling pink and white petals, Xia Zhuo hugged his knees and sighed, feeling that he had never been so artistic.Things that I didn't have the patience to do before became better after meeting Guan Yuzhou, as if as long as people stay together, no matter where they are, it is enough for him to feel at ease.

The "One Hundred Years of Solitude", which was turned over by Guan Yuzhou, fell into Xia Zhuo's hands. Many books have something in common. Xia Zhuo read the sentence of abandoning the past in "Blue Dolphin Island" before, but in Similar words can be seen in this book.

——No matter where you go, you should remember that the past is fake, memory is an endless road, all past springs will no longer exist, and even the most tenacious and frenzied love is nothing but a love in the end. A fleeting reality.

Xia Zhuo couldn't understand the second half of the sentence, so he poked Guan Yuzhou and asked his opinion.

Guan Yuzhou's eyes stopped on the lines of black words, and slowly turned to a middle-aged couple not far away.Then he said: "A person has a long way to go in his life, and love is only an insignificant part of it. Maybe what Marquez wants to tell readers is this kind of loneliness without love, but at the same time, he should understand that life without love The heart should also be rich."

Xia Zhuo groaned, he was not yet mature enough to understand the variables of reality.He hugged his knees and followed Guan Yuzhou's gaze. The couple was watching their child having fun on the lawn, their eyes were full of satisfaction and happiness.

Guan Yuzhou noticed his movements as if he was afraid of the cold from the corner of his eyes, and naturally put the coat he took off on his shoulders, "But the most difficult to find is a confidant through the ages, and a confidant is rare in life. Loneliness is also an indispensable part of life. It makes people appreciate the time more.”

Xia Zhuo asked him what the cherished time was, but Guan Yuzhou kept a trace of mystery, "I'll tell you later."

Xia Zhuo doesn't hate the word "later", it seems to be an agreement, at least he likes this kind of agreement with expectations.

So he also said: "Then we will go to see the aurora."

Guan Yuzhou nodded, and agreed without hesitation: "Okay."

Xia Zhuo said again: "I still have a lot of things I want to see."

Such as moving glaciers, sleeping volcanoes, canyons and forests, the most sacred church in the world...

Guan Yuzhou heard him list them one by one, and in the end he just said something meaningful: "Take your time."

After returning from the park, Guan Yuzhou became busy again.He devoted himself wholeheartedly to the graduation project, and finally chose a tutor who is known for his strictness.

He seemed eager to make himself more capable, and the time he met with Xia Zhuo was greatly shortened. He was either in the studio or on the way to the library to check materials every day. He never rested until the dormitory access control time, but The habit of calling once a day is still preserved.

This caused Xia Zhuo to suddenly have a lot of free time. After thinking about his life against the wall for two days, he also started preparing for the sixth grade exam.

After the number of appearances in the same frame with Guan Yuzhou decreased, his friends were also very puzzled, and asked him if he had quarreled and ran away in anger.Xia Zhuo denied it with disdain on the surface, but in fact he had no idea in his heart. He suddenly realized the fact that Guan Yuzhou would graduate in one year, and he was confused about what the two of them would do in the future.

He has never been so worried before, but now he panics when he thinks about it.

In his eyes, Guan Yuzhou is naturally the best.The other party has excellent grades, good looks, and can earn money by taking orders online by himself early on. All expenses are earned by himself. Compared with him, he is simply a small waste.

So Little Waste began to sign up for the competition, trying to narrow the distance between himself and his sweetheart.

After receiving the invitation to the summer competition of the National College English Contest, Xia Zhuo excitedly planned to send a message to Guan Yuzhou, but first received a call from Assistant Xia Hong, who called him "young master" coldly, informing him that he would meet Guan Yuzhou on Thursday afternoon. There is a car to pick him up.

After hanging up the phone in a few words, Xia Zhuo remembered that it was the anniversary of his biological father's death. Two years ago, Xia Hong would send someone to take him to visit the grave. The reporter from the news agency even secretly waited outside the cemetery. , took pictures of him going in and out, and wrote a long and touching article about it, but Xia Zhuo's psychological activities described in it had never happened before.

With this phone call, his mood became not as good as before. He read the email sent to him by the official website of the competition repeatedly, and said to himself that he won the first prize in the country. Was it necessary to be so happy just now?

Not stable at all!

How can an unstable person find love!

After spurning herself in her heart, Xia Zhuo rushed back to the table and concentrated on studying the reading questions.

His biological father was Xia Youjiang, who died in a plane crash on May [-], but Xia Zhuo had to go to the cemetery one day in advance, so as not to encounter many people who came to worship on their own initiative the next day.This was arranged by Xia Hong for him to make good comments from outside, and at the same time, he was also afraid that Xia Zhuo would not be able to speak and would make a joke, so he limited his contact with others to the greatest extent.

Everyone in the open and in the dark knew that although Xia Hong had recognized his grandson back, the name "Master Xia" was just a false name at present.Xia Zhuo didn't take it seriously, he hated tedious things, so he never expressed any dissatisfaction with his grandfather's arrangements, which was exactly what Xia Hong wanted.

The assistant showed up at the school gate on time at the appointed time, and a low-key luxury car frequently attracted the attention of young people.Xia Zhuo carried the small cloth bag he bought for tens of dollars, which contained a change of clothes for the past two days, and got into the back seat in full view.

For the first time, he felt embarrassed that someone came from a long way to pick him up, so he kept picking out snacks for his assistant along the way, and kept opening his mouth to chat with people.But the assistant didn't pay much attention to him from the beginning to the end, and now he can get used to this kind of indifference, so after consciously fastening his seat belt, he lowered his head and played with his phone without saying a word.

Guan Yuzhou knew that he didn't have any feelings for his biological father, so after hearing the news that he was going to travel last night, he only said one sentence to be careful on the road.

Thinking that the other party should be with the tutor at this time, Xia Zhuo gave up the idea of ​​harassing him, and just found a listening app to pass the time.

Because he had to get up very early the next day, he went back to Xia's house and fell asleep after eating. That night he had a short dream.

I don’t know where the train in the dream is going, and the mottled tree shadows are projected on the floor from the window, like a string of scattered musical notes jumping on the flat table.

He turned his heavy head to the left, and what came into his eyes was a face with a sharp jaw line.

His vision gradually became clearer, and he saw the boy's fair skin, lightly drawn lips, and those dark eyes hidden under thick eyelashes.

What lingers on the nose is the familiar fresh fragrance.

Noticing that he was looking at him, the other party provoked a nice smile, stretched out his hand and stroked his hair, and coaxed softly between light and dark: "Go on to sleep."

There were only the two of them in the empty carriage, these words were like magic, Xia Zhuo closed his eyes again with peace of mind.

The picture returned to darkness, and all the hustle and bustle went away.In the quietness, they seemed to have really gone far away.

On the way to the cemetery the next day, Xia Zhuo and Guan Yuzhou talked about the dream.

It was only 06:30, but Guan Yuzhou replied as if he had woken up early: It was a good dream.

Perhaps because of the different places, Xia Zhuo's state of mind has also changed.

He walked along the path to the hillside, Xia Hong's assistant didn't follow, he was the only one walking among the desolate tombs with the morning wind blowing.

Looking at the photo embedded on the tombstone, he suddenly felt that "a person's life is very long" is a lie.

Just like his biological mother didn't have time to experience true love, and left early without even touching the most insignificant part.

What Márquez writes is only his own life's opinion, and it should have nothing to do with the long or short, wonderful or ordinary life of any other life except his.

Can dominate their own unique own heart.

After staying for enough time, Xia Zhuo's steps down the mountain seemed hurried.

He returned to Xia's house intact and took the small bag with him. He didn't even have time to eat, so he said to the assistant who was guarding the door with a piece of bread, "I'm going back to school."

The assistant hesitated for a moment, as if he was surprised that he spoke in such a blunt tone for the first time, "The old man asked you to stay at home for one night before leaving."

"No need, I'll just go back by car." Xia Zhuo walked around him, pushed the door open and strode out.

The assistant didn't say anything, but took out his mobile phone, probably to call Xia Hong.

It is not easy to get a taxi in this remote place, so we can only call one at a high price.

Xia Zhuo wanted to pay with the card Xia Hong gave him, while his eyes fell on the roses in the garden.

He walked in a hurry in the morning, and didn't stop to appreciate it. Now is the season when the roses are blooming delicately, and each plant is like a rosy cloud, with a strong and seductive fragrance.He immediately thought about it, picked up the scissors on the ground, picked up the scourge.

He didn't know gardening skills before, and one branch after another of flowers presented uneven postures in his hands, and he just couldn't get half of the beauty.On the other hand, the gardener who was still working hard in a straw hat was dumbfounded, staring at him with his mouth wide open from afar, as if he wanted to stop him but didn't dare to stop him.

When the assistant came out after making the phone call, he saw such a slightly funny scene.

A crack appeared on his face that has remained unchanged for thousands of years, but his good professional ethics prevented him from showing it too obviously. He came to him and said, "The old man asked me to send you back."

The man walked without any movement. Xia Zhuo was taken aback. He raised his head to see who it was and asked eagerly, "Do you have any ribbons or rubber bands? Lend me some."

Assistant: "...No."

"Okay, then you can only hold it with your hands."

The assistant saw that his hand was stabbed and scratched, and before he had time to say anything, Xia Zhuo suddenly stared, and ran out of the iron gate like a rabbit seeing a natural enemy, and did not forget to pull him together: "Go quickly!" go!"

The assistant looked back, and it turned out that the gardener was coming this way.

Xia Zhuo quickly got into the car, and locked the door consciously, urging him to run away with a look of "this is the end of the matter".

"...You don't need to run, the whole garden belongs to your home." After driving a certain distance, the assistant couldn't hold back.

Xia Zhuo held the flowers cautiously, worrying about bumping them, and didn't know if he listened or not.

After confirming that the flowers were all intact, he relievedly sent a message to Guan Yuzhou, asking where he was.

Ten minutes later, Guan Yuzhou replied to him, saying that he had just submitted the materials for the first debate and was on his way back to the studio.If there is no problem after the tutor checks, you can take a break for a while.

Xia Zhuo was accompanied by flowers, so he boldly asked him: Are you going on a date that night?

He has always called meeting a date, and Guan Yuzhou is used to it, and he doesn't know how to correct mistakes.

Sure enough, Guan Yuzhou replied: Where do you want to go?

Xia Zhuo said that we would meet at six o'clock in front of the bench where they sat at the music festival.

This was somewhat unexpected to Guan Yuzhou, he thought Xia Zhuo would choose a place outside the school.

But now is not the time to think about these issues. After replying "Yes", he put away his phone and hurried to the tutor.

The department has decided that the first defense will be held a week before the summer vacation. At this stage, they need to determine the research direction and project topics. Those without social value and persuasiveness will be rejected, so no one dares to fool around casually. Gather together and wait for the instructor to review them one by one and make a preliminary judgment.

A total of 11 people chose the same mentor as Guan Yuzhou.Everyone was delayed for about half an hour, and it was more than six o'clock after everything was over.

After leaving the studio, Guan Yuzhou read the news while riding the elevator. Xia Zhuo sent him three messages within half an hour. One asked him if he was finished, one said he had arrived, and one asked him if he was hungry all afternoon. Do you want to eat or not.

He nodded goodbye to several classmates, and hurried to the destination.

It was not completely dark at 06:30, but the sunset was almost gone.

He ran all the way, winding along the lush bush path, and saw the boy on the bench just before the sun was about to disappear on the horizon.

The orange-yellow light poured on the other person, and the boy hugged a plump and gorgeous rose, like hugging a crimson gemstone, making him unable to tell whether it was a dream or a reality for a while.Xia Zhuo was wearing the simplest white T-shirt, her black hair was covered with a layer of gold, the feeling of cold and heat intertwined, it seemed to be the only light source in the whole scene, making people feel like they were willing to turn into flying The urge to moth.

At a certain moment, Guan Yuzhou's eyes became a little turbulent. He looked deeply at Xia Zhuo, but returned to his original state in a very short time.The mottled tree shadows swayed with the wind, and spots of light also fell in his deep eyes.

"Ah." Xia Zhuo awkwardly hid the Tibetan flowers behind her back, slightly complaining, "Why didn't you say anything when you came?"

Guan Yuzhou approached step by step, watching the light on Xia Zhuo's face become less and less because of being covered by himself, but the feeling of stinging his eyes still showed no signs of disappearing.

Xia Zhuo looked up at him, as if he was the only one in his eyes.

The world seemed to stop there, Guan Yuzhou sat down beside him, and the unique fragrance of flowers immediately lingered around him.

"If I don't come, will you just wait like this?"

Xia Zhuo gave him a strange look: "Aren't you here? And you promised me, I don't believe you will let me go."

Guan Yuzhou apologized: "I'm sorry, it took a while."

"it does not matter."

"not angry?"

"What's there to be angry about? I'm waiting for you, not what you asked for." Xia Zhuo took it for granted, "Why should you be angry with others when you want to do something?"

Guan Yuzhou pursed his lips, and before he spoke, Xia Zhuo smiled to himself: "And I know that I will see you sooner or later, and I will be very happy waiting for your time."

From the corner of my eye, the flowers that couldn't be hidden were burning and jumping like flames. Guan Yuzhou felt that it was becoming difficult to breathe, and he blinked slowly.

"Oh yes, I asked you out because I had something to tell you." Xia Zhuo became nervous, and he licked his lips, "Can we go to dinner after we finish talking?"

"Okay." Guan Yuzhou nodded.

Xia Zhuo coughed and cleared his throat.

"You've been very busy recently. When I was free, I wondered if I could do something for you. But after thinking about it, I couldn't help you. The only thing I can do is to make myself better. So I went to participate in the school I also received a national competition notification, and I plan to work hard to get a certificate back... Damn, I didn't want to tell you. Although this is only the first step, I just want to say, I really like you , although I don’t know what the future will be like, but I will work hard for the future... Oh, I don’t know what I’m going to say, anyway, I stole money for you, do you want to be my boyfriend or not!”

Xia Zhuo almost didn't dig a hole to bury himself. Obviously, he had rehearsed several times in advance, but when he really spoke, his mind went blank. He wanted to be more romantic so he prepared flowers, but now he talked about something messy!

"Okay." Almost after Xia Zhuo finished speaking the last word, Guan Yuzhou opened his mouth and uttered the same single sound.

……Um?

What did Guan Yuzhou say?

Seems like you said it? ? ?

Xia Zhuo stared, realizing what had happened, the heart in his chest was beating wildly, and the blood all over his body became hot instantly.

Seeing that he was motionless and shut down, Guan Yuzhou repeated it patiently: "I said yes, I will be your boyfriend."

"Then these flowers..." Xia Zhuo handed them out blankly.

Guan Yuzhou put the flowers into his arms with the same calm attitude as if he had received a present a year ago: "Thank you."

"You, uh. No thanks."

That's right, it seems unrealistic to want to see Guan Yuzhou moved.

After holding back for a long time, Xia Zhuo said: "Aren't you going to return my gift this time?"

"What do you want?" Guan Yuzhou's voice was hoarse, as if he was restraining something.

Xia Zhuo was clearly about to faint, but she wanted to act calmly as if she had seen the world.He tried his best to suppress the distorted smile, and looked directly at the boy opposite with those beautiful eyes: "This flower took me a lot of effort. How about you give me a kiss?"

He just wanted to make a joke with Guan Yuzhou, but he didn't expect that the next moment, the boy beside him leaned over, grabbed his chin with his hand in the dark, and turned his face away.

Guan Yuzhou kissed her.

The author says:

Wuhu!I finally finished writing about the events before their relationship, and I will start writing about dreams in the next chapter.
