not sad planet

After winter, Liang Shu bought a lot of fluffy puppy clothes online, and played dressing games with Lingling every day.

He found that Lingling's depression had improved, and she gradually turned back to the former energetic little dog who circled around his trousers all day long.

He also found that Yu Ling's smoking frequency increased significantly.

Yu Ling is not a big smoker. He used to hardly smoke at home, but recently whenever he is at home, the study or balcony is always smoky.Liang Shu guessed that he might have been too stressed by the comics some time ago, and needed to rely on nicotine to relieve his bad mood.

Liang Shu felt that going out for a trip to relax might also be a good way to relieve negative emotions.

They have never traveled together before.

When spring starts, you can do some travel strategies. Whether you go to popular tourist attractions or just find places with few people, you should have a lot of fun with Yu Ling.Thinking of this, he couldn't help but look forward to it.

After the evening shift, Liang Shu returned home with a chill in his body, and saw that the door of the study room was open, the lights were on inside, and choking smoke wafted from the inside.

Liang Shu walked over lightly.

Yu Ling was wearing a gray-black turtleneck sweater, and was drawing at his desk, silently and intently immersed in the world in the painting.

The moonlight fell on his slightly arched back through the glass window, and his side face was cold and white under the reflection of the computer screen and the moonlight.

Yu Ling raised his eyes and caught a glimpse of the person standing in a daze at the door, who casually put out his cigarette in the brown ashtray, where there were already several cigarette butts piled up.

Liang Shu watched quietly for a moment, his heart sank a little.

Yu Ling waved at him, and slightly bent his eyes: "What are you doing standing there?"

Liang Shu walked up to Yu Ling and put his hands on his shoulders, "Yu Ling, do you want to travel when the weather gets warmer?"

He rushed forward and put his arms around Yu Ling's neck, threatening in a low voice: "Don't say you don't want to!"

Their gazes were completely different, implying anticipation.

"Yes," Yu Ling raised his head and responded casually, "Where do you want to go?"

"There are so many places I want to visit," Liang Shu said the names of several tourist cities in succession, "I haven't decided yet,"

"What about you? Is there any place you want to go?"

Yu Ling suddenly turned his head and looked out the window. The view outside the window was wide, and he could see the bare lawn nearby and the sparkling artificial lake in the distance.

After being silent for a while, Liang Shu spat out a place name just when he thought that Yu Ling would not answer or said "anything, whatever".

It is a well-known seaside city with pleasant climate and picturesque scenery. Every peak tourist season, it will attract countless foreigners to come for sightseeing.

"My dad used to work in that city and heard that it's beautiful. I've always wanted to go there and see it."

Liang Shu was a little surprised.

In his impression, this was the first time he had heard Yu Ling mention his family.Yu Ling has never been home during the Chinese New Year, and he has no relatives to visit.

His intuition told him that the relationship between Yu Ling and his family members should not be very good, and he didn't know why. He was afraid of reminding Yu Ling of bad memories, so he never dared to ask.

Liang Shu has always felt that, as a mature and rational adult, Yu Ling has the ability to handle everything well. Moreover, Yu Ling can definitely be regarded as a successful person in the worldly sense. He is an existence that will make his family proud. He will not be looked down upon by his family like him, and the relationship will be so tense.

When Liang Shu ran away from home in a fit of anger, he didn't come here at first, but went to a southern city, stayed there for two months, developed eczema all over his body, and couldn't adapt to the humid and cold climate there, so he came here the city.

And Yu Ling came here because of a job transfer, so choosing to settle here should be a well-thought-out choice.

"Okay! Then let's go there!" Liang Shu raised his hands in agreement, and asked cautiously, "Where does uncle work now? Has he retired?"

Yu Ling paused for a few seconds and said, "I'm back to my hometown."

"Are you, are you and your family?" Liang Shu hesitated for a moment before continuing to ask, "The relationship is not very good either?"

"is acceptable."

Yu Ling's eyes fell into the distance, as if thinking back, "My dad is very strict with me in everything. He is very busy with work. We don't see each other several times a year, and we always quarrel. When I was young, my mother treated me the same way. It’s pretty strict, but it got better after junior high school.”

"They all love you."

"Yes." Yu Ling did not deny it.

So why don't you ever come home?

It may be that he came out of the closet with his parents, and the relationship with him has not eased so far.

"You are so good, they should be very proud."

Yu Ling smiled, "No, it's because you have too much filter on me."

That night, Liang Shu told Yu Ling a lot of embarrassing things about him when he was a child. In exchange, he half forced and threatened Yu Ling to tell the story too.

So Yu Ling told him about how he was invited by his parents to draw in English class when he was a child.

He was delighted to hear it, and it turned out that Yu Ling was not the kind of standard good student who was very obedient and well-behaved since he was a child.

Liang Shu asked, "Did you learn to draw when you were young?"

"No, my mother really hates my drawing."

It's no wonder I don't hate drawing in English class.Liang Shu couldn't help laughing and said, "You wouldn't have drawn this style of painting since you were a child, would you?"

"That's right. At that time, the art teacher often scolded me, saying that others were painting houses, the sun, and sunflowers. What is that black mass you drew?"

Liang Shu laughed again. He felt that he was getting closer to Yu Ling.

After laughing, he said triumphantly: "I am the leader of our elementary school. If we knew each other at that time, I could accept you as my younger brother and protect you."

Yu Ling said coolly: "When I was in elementary school, you didn't seem to be born yet."

Liang Shu was silent for a few seconds, counted with his fingers, "That's right..."

But he was not discouraged: "Then I will go back to when you were a child and accept you as a younger brother!"

Yu Ling pressed his head into the pillow, "Sleep in your sleep, accept me as your younger brother in your dream."

For many days after that, Liang Shu was in anticipation of traveling with Yu Ling.

Whenever he has free time, he searches the Internet for travel guides, self-driving routes, sightseeing hotels, check-in resorts, local specialty snacks... He even knows more about the city he is going to than here.

Although Yu Ling didn't express much expectation for this, he also praised the venue. After watching the short travel videos Liang Shu sent him, he made a sincere evaluation: good, good, good-looking, let's go together.

That day, Liang Shu took turns to sleep at home and had a dream of going to the beach.

It was Liang Shu's first time seeing the sea. Even in his dream, the memory of that sea was very clear to him, as if he had really been there.

Strangely, he was always alone in the dream, not with Yu Ling.

He went to the western building complex to check in alone, followed the stone steps into Manshan Qingdaili, stood on the viewing platform on the top of the mountain, and saw the red tiles and green shades all over the mountains and the blue and white long lines connecting the water and the sky.

A person walked to the trestle bridge leading to the sea, watching the orange sunset gradually sinking into the sea, the whole sky was dyed a contrasting orange red.

Waking up from the dream, Liang Shu sat up in a daze, and saw that the wardrobe door opposite the bed was opened at some point, and the gray-blue suit jacket that Yu Ling wore at work was just hanging inside.

Yu Ling is back?

The curtains were drawn tightly, making it impossible to see the sky outside.Liang Shu touched the cell phone under the pillow and looked at the time. It turned out that it was almost seven o'clock in the evening.

Yu Ling probably hasn't eaten yet, he should be revising the manuscript in the study right now.Some of the horror comics he drew in the early days were recently removed from the platform for rectification. Most of the comics were simply not changed because the main storyline was really difficult to change, and only a few parts could barely be changed.

Liang Shu jumped out of bed when he was full of sleep, and went to the study to find Yu Ling.

Walking out of the bedroom, he heard indistinct voices coming from the balcony, the voice was very low.

It was Yu Ling who was on the phone.

Liang Shu moved over quietly, hoping to wait for Yu Ling to finish his phone call and jump behind him, so as to catch him off guard.

Yu Ling was supposed to be dealing with work, and he was talking about company matters that Liang Shu couldn't understand.

Liang Shu listened silently for a while, and was surprised by the slight irony and disgust in Yu Ling's tone.

"Independent operation is at your own risk. Don't understand what it means? Don't meddle in the affairs of our branch. Your hands are long enough."

It was something he had never heard before.

Who is he on the phone with?

"The last time it was the overseas business department, this time it was the headquarters. If I don't go, let Boss put pressure on me. It's all your idea, right? Bo Le'an? You are quite capable."

The person on the other side of the phone didn't know what to say, Yu Ling's tone became colder, and his words became more and more impolite.

"Are you sick? Don't mess with me, okay? You are so awesome, you can decide whether to stay or not with one phone call. I'm afraid, can't you?"

……

"Don't say those two words, I find it disgusting. How many times have I said it, I don't like men."

……

"Otherwise? Don't you just want to disgust me on purpose? I said this six years ago, and it's the same now."
