A corner of ten years

In Time Inc.'s casting, Li Xun passed the audition smoothly and advanced to the finals. He surprised the audience with a song "Gentleness" that he played and sang, and won the first prize.

At the beginning, Cheng Lu just wanted to encourage him not to give up his dream, but now he can't help but start to face up to the possibility that Li Xun will be picked up by Times Company and stay together in a different place from now on.

On the night when the championship match ended, Cheng Lu and Li Xun were very silent when they returned to their residence, especially after receiving a call from the old man saying that he had seen him win the championship on TV and encouraged him to go to Korea for further studies. It became more and more dull, Li Xun didn't understand why the old man suddenly supported him to engage in music this time, but this is no longer the key. Time Inc. is undoubtedly a fatal temptation for him, and his dream may become a reality from now on. When Li Xun read this name silently, he felt that all this was the source of his pain. He could have no applause, no audience, and even no dreams in his life, but it was impossible without Cheng Lu, and he dared not even think about it.

"I dont go."

Cheng Lu took out two eggs from the refrigerator. The two of them hadn't eaten anything all day. He wanted to make dinner to reward the little soldier. "We'll talk about it after dinner."

During dinner, Li Xun had been watching Cheng Lu's face, and all his usual wit was lost at this moment.

Finally, the bowl of porridge was bottomed out, and Cheng Lu sat down across the dining table. Facing the major choices in life, he looked extremely dignified at this moment.

"You have to go." Seeing that Li Xun wanted to refute, he made a booing gesture, "Listen to me first."

"I remember when you went to participate in a music competition in the first year of high school, and you lost. At that time, the two of us happened to be in each other. You chased me very closely, and everything followed me. But after you lost that competition, you changed Like a person, I have never seen you like that, you don’t care about anything, cold and gray, like a dark cloud, I only knew what music means to you at that time.”

Li Xun clasped his hands on the table, his drooping eyelashes covered the clear spring of a lake.

"Xun, this opportunity is really destined, and it's rare that the family agrees. If you don't grasp it, you may regret it for the rest of your life."

"But what do you do? I don't want to be separated from you." The young man raised his head, his voice trembling with sobs.

Cheng Lu grabbed Li Xun's hand, "I don't want to be your stumbling block, it's more sad than letting me stay in two places with you."

"Cheng Lu!"

"We can call. We can be together every day when you come back from vacation. If you dare to abandon me when you really make a name for yourself, I will never end with you!" Cheng Lu deliberately raised the atmosphere to make Li Xun feel relieved.

Li Xun walked around the table and hugged Cheng Lu.

That night, they slept on Li Xun's bed, hugging each other tightly, as if saving all the untouchable and unseen things for a long time in the future to this day, and in the long night alone, they only need to remember Feeling warm right now.

Li Xun made a major decision that night. He kissed Cheng Lu and said, "Baby, I want to take you home to meet my parents."

In that era that was not yet open, homosexuality was not recognized, and there would be no marriage certificate to prove the relationship between two people. Li Xun wanted to take Chenglu back. At that moment, he felt that this was a promise, no matter what the result was. , It seems that after this step, the two people have really become husband and wife.

Cheng Lu's heart was bright at that moment.

The day when I went home with Li Xun was the most nervous time in Cheng Lu's life. It was even more tense than all the exams in the senior high school entrance examination and the fourth and sixth grades of the college entrance examination combined.

He straightened his collar repeatedly, always feeling awkward. He also thought about the reaction of Li Xun's parents. If he hit them with a rolling pin, he would bear it. If his parents look at him, he must not help him. The more he helps him, the angrier his parents will be...

Li Xun walked behind Cheng Lu and wrapped him in his arms, "Don't worry, even if it's a sea of ​​swords and flames this time, I'm still by your side."

Cheng Lu closed his eyes, yes, don't be afraid, we have each other, from beginning to end we only have each other.

Li Xun's parents did not put on a show of beating mandarin ducks, but more like a son bringing his daughter-in-law to meet his in-laws, especially Li's mother went to the kitchen to cook and greet her future "daughter-in-law", with a pleasant smile and kindness She is as kind as an ordinary mother, and even when Cheng Lu went to help in the kitchen, she even told Cheng Lu about Li Xun's embarrassing things when he was a child, acting like a good mother-in-law. The arrival did not give much welcome, but it did not embarrass him either.

Cheng Lu felt happy, but there was a little uneasiness behind it, because the fact that Li Xun's brother came out of the closet boosted the immunity of the old couple, and it was still the calm before the storm, but everything didn't matter anymore, at least he was happy at this moment of.

Sending Li Xun to the airport in Seoul, even though Cheng Lu repeatedly told himself not to cry and let Li Xun go to training to realize his dream, but seeing Li Xun waving goodbye, the sadness in his heart could not be suppressed, he Covering his mouth and trying not to make a sound, Li Xun, who was striding forward, seemed to sense something, so he turned around and ran towards Cheng Lu, no longer caring about the eyes around him, and kissed Cheng Lu's lips heavily.

Cheng Lu, wait for me to come back.

Without Li Xun, life is still passable, and Cheng Lu started to get busy again. After part-time work, he signed up for an art class, trying his best to pass the loneliness without Li Xun, but the happiest part of the day is talking with Li Xun During the phone call, I heard him chatter about how unpalatable Korean kimchi is, how hard the training is from singing rap to dancing, how Chinese trainees are squeezed out there, from as small as a lint to as big as being a big fan of my future stars. Lu's analysis, every detail must be told to Cheng Lu, and Cheng Lu listened silently here, and he could imagine Li Xun's beaming expression.

Until one day, he received a call from Li Xun. Although the other party pretended to have the same cheerful voice as usual, Cheng Lu still felt his frustration. After repeated cross-examination by Cheng Lu, Li Xun finally told the truth. The increase in classes, serious lack of sleep, he fell asleep in the singing class today, the teacher was very angry, took a pointer and whipped his calf, and told him how it is possible to debut like this.

With Cheng Lu's gentle relief, Li Xun slowly dispelled his bad emotions, hung up the phone, and Cheng Lu let out a deep breath. It seemed that the daily calls took up too much of Li Xun's rest time.

From then on, Cheng Lu began to limit the time that Li Xun could call him. During the day, when Li Xun called when he was eating, he would answer. Cheng Lu started to talk a lot. He asked Li Xun to eat while listening. In the evening, at first it was an hour, then it became four and ten minutes, and then it was half an hour, and finally he simply said good night, and Cheng Lu tried his best to let Li Xun sleep more.

The days are passing slowly, Li Xun has been away for more than half a year, one day he suddenly called, his tone was as happy as a child, he told Chenglu Company that he might be arranged for his debut this time, and a makeup artist has been arranged for him to do it for him. Modeling, the new album will be recorded soon, but in order to prevent the leak of the sound source and the exposure of the model, the company decided to conduct closed training for Li Xun, and he is not allowed to communicate with the outside world for the next month, and the mobile phone is naturally handed over.

Cheng Lu said it's okay, isn't it just a month, we have survived for such a long time, are we still afraid of this month?

Li Xun nodded heavily on the other end of the phone, "Yeah!"

"Cheng Lu, I will definitely take you to see the sea after I debut."

Because Li Xun was about to go to South Korea for training last time, the plan of the two of them to watch the sea also failed, Cheng Lu said: "Definitely."

Li Xun said, "Definitely."

On the day he received the call, Cheng Lu was in class. He asked the teacher for leave and went to the corridor. The mother on the other end of the phone was crying and incoherently narrating what happened. Finally, Cheng Lu finally figured out that Cheng’s father used his public office to use his public office for less than a year. Over the past year, he has embezzled and accepted more than 200 million yuan in bribes. There are also scattered famous watches and gold jewelry, and even two real estates. When the higher authorities came to inspect the matter and revealed it, they were immediately shuanggui and all their properties were frozen. Cheng Lu’s house was also seized. , Cheng's mother called Cheng Lu at her grandma's house. This poor woman has completely collapsed since her husband's accident. Now she can only rely on her son, Cheng Lu.

Cheng Lu said, Mom, don't worry, we will always find a way, so he hurried home after dialing the phone.

Dad Cheng’s crimes are serious. Except for some luxury accessories he hid in his office and the real estate certificates of the two properties, the money in the card totaled 100 million, and another 100 million disappeared. If the property can be returned, the court will also punish him. Its discretion is light.

Things took a turn for the worse, Cheng Lu went to his father’s former colleagues and friends, but everyone fought against him, who would help him when he got into such a big trouble, Cheng Lu didn’t even eat a steamed bun after running for a day, standing on the busy street, he suddenly wanted to cry Not only was he tired of seeing people's cold eyes, but he thought over and over again these days and couldn't figure out how such an honest and kind father could be corrupt. He looked at the mobile phone in his hand, that familiar number, since the day Dad Cheng had an accident, this number has been the driving force behind him to this day, he slowly pressed the broadcast button, and it was still: The number you dialed has been terminated. shutdown.

Tears welling up in my eyes, exhaustion, disappointment, loss...

At this time, a pair of leather shoes appeared in front of him, Cheng Lu raised his head, and Kitano Takashi was in the direction of the backlight.

"I don't do business at a loss. Before the court session tomorrow afternoon, you can make a statement. Although I can't promise to get your father out immediately, I will definitely not let him suffer. Once the rumors pass, ten years will be reduced by five years. Five years Minus three years, and soon your family will be reunited." Kitano Takashi sat in the driver's seat, negotiating conditions, during the time Li Xun left, he created many "encounters" with Cheng Lu, but Cheng Lu If Lu can avoid it, he will avoid it, and he has no chance to entangle too much, but this incident undoubtedly gave him a great opportunity

Cheng Lu next to him pursed his lips, and finally said, "No need, I will find a solution."

Kitano Takashi sneered, "Your father will go to court tomorrow afternoon, Cheng Lu, those who know current affairs are outstanding."

Cheng Lu opened the door and got out of the car, "Don't worry about it."

It was raining lightly in early autumn, and Cheng Lu stood on the street thinking for a long time, and finally hailed a taxi and gave an address.

Once again stepping into this small building located in the institution's family courtyard, Cheng Lu's mood was no longer the anticipation and nervousness of the past. He came to ask for help tonight.

It was the butler of the Li family who opened the door, seeing Cheng Lu's wet clothes and hurriedly letting him in.

"Drink a cup of hot water to warm up your body. I'll get Xun's clothes and change them for you."

Cheng Lu grabbed the old butler, "Uncle Zhong, are uncle and aunt here?"

"Master and Madam went to Singapore the day before yesterday, and it will take a few days before they come back."

"Can you get in touch with them?"

The old butler looked embarrassed, "I called all afternoon this afternoon and no one answered. I made another call just now, but the phone was still turned off."

"Can his secretary be reached?"

"This time it's a private itinerary. From the air ticket to the hotel, everything is booked by the master himself. This is the first time that he has done it himself."

Cheng Lu suddenly understood, and smiled wryly, "Really? Uncle Zhong, I'm leaving."

"Have a cup of hot water before you go."

"No." It is very clear that all the smiling faces and concerns here are illusory.

Cheng Lu walked out of the compound and called Li Xun again. It was still a reminder to turn off the phone.

At this time, the rain suddenly became heavy, mixed with thunder, and the vehicles on the road appeared to be in a hurry. Cheng Lu walked forward, his eyes were empty and he couldn't see any brilliance.

When he got home, he went into the bathroom, and the hot water washed his cold skin. He just stood straight under the shower, expressionless.

After a long time, he opened the bathroom door, took out a windbreaker, wrapped it around his body and went out.

Kitano Takamasa knelt on the ground and focused on a DVD that had been in disrepair, the linen cloth rubbed against the tatami, a thin layer of sweat floated on his forehead, which glowed greasy under the dim light.

He tried to insert a CD into it to test the fruits of his labor, and pressed the play button together with the doorbell, and KerenAnn's "Suicide Is Painless" came out smoothly, and he got up to open the door in satisfaction.

Opening the door, the young man standing outside was the person I had been thinking about day and night. The other party lowered his head and held an umbrella in his hand, unable to see his expression. After saying some pleasantries, Cheng Lu unbuttoned his windbreaker, threw his belt to the side, the clothes fell to the floor with a slight pull, and the young white body was naked in front of his eyes...

Apparently stunned by everything in front of him, Takashi Kitano only felt the blood rushing upwards, hitting the top of the Tianling cover all of a sudden, just for a few seconds, he looked up and saw the opponent's closed eyes, as if he understood and grabbed the opponent She brought her slender waist into her arms and kissed him fiercely, wishing she could rub him into her body.

Pushing and shoving all the way to the bedroom, knocking over the vases and CDs that were in the way...

The female singer's distant and gentle voice in the hall seems to have paved the way for a hotbed of desire, sinking into despair...
