In the Same Boat

People are the most difficult to see through in this world.

You may not know what kind of person you are with day and night, let alone someone you haven't seen in 15 years and now you meet someone you spend most of your time in love with.

It's not that Qu Yiheng doesn't want to believe Yao Zhan. He can be sure that Yao Zhan is a very good person. Yes, it makes sense.

When people choose a partner, they are also making a judgment for their own future, so they should be more cautious.

Yao Zhan blurted out his confession impulsively, and Qu Yiheng believed that he was serious. Moreover, no one would be so bored as to run all the way to confirm the safety of another irrelevant person.

Yao Zhan likes him, he knows it.

He also likes Yao Zhan, and he knows it too.

It's just that this like has not been polished and is too fragile.

He wanted to get out of here immediately, and now he could smell Woody as he sat in this room, and he felt suffocated.

Qu Yiheng was very hesitant, he really wanted to leave Yao Zhan, but that would make him feel that he was too dependent on others and became Yao Zhan's accessory.

He doesn't want to be like that.

"I'll think about it again." Qu Yiheng said, "I'll give you an answer tomorrow morning."

All he can do now is to keep calm as much as possible, and then seriously consider the advice Yao Zhan gave him.

"Okay." Yao Zhan gently hugged him into his arms, and said soothingly, "You don't need to force it, but I hope you will give yourself a good explanation."

At night, Yao Zhan did not sleep with Qu Yiheng, but made do with the sofa for the night. He knew that Qu Yiheng needed to be alone, and he had many problems to consider.

In fact, everyone didn't sleep well that night. Dou Yucong kept sending messages to Cheng Hetong. The two were talking about how to find Woody and throw him into prison. Qu Yiheng, sitting in front of the window and looking out, kept Thinking about him and Yao Zhan and where he should go, Yao Zhan couldn't sleep because he knew that Qu Yiheng must not have slept either.

After two o'clock in the middle of the night, someone suddenly knocked on the door.

Yao Zhan, who was in the living room, was the first to notice. He immediately got up from the sofa and picked up the Swiss army knife that Dou Yucong had confiscated on the coffee table.

The sound of prying open the door was loud, and Qu Yiheng and Dou Yucong who were in the bedroom also came out.

Yao Zhan mouthed Dou Yucong to call the police, and the three of them had a hunch that Woody might be back.

Dou Yucong stuffed Qu Yiheng back into the room and asked him to make a phone call. He followed Yao Zhan to the door, and the two looked at each other. Yao Zhan counted "three two one" with his hands, and then pushed the door violently, and the people outside were directly hit. fell to the ground.

Surprisingly, the person who fell to the ground in front of him was not Woody.

Before he had time to think about it, Yao Zhan went straight up and pushed the man down. In the middle of the night, the sound of several people fighting echoed in the corridor.

The police came very quickly, and one of the little policemen recognized the man at a glance, a habitual thief.

The police made a simple record for them, and then escorted them away. The three people who helped the police catch the thief stood at the door and sent those people away. Dou Yucong said, "I actually feel a little regretful."

He looked back at his brother: "If this is Woody tonight, he will definitely be caught."

A good night was disturbed so that everyone was even less sleepy. Back in the living room, Dou Yucong took the water and drank it.

Qu Yiheng suddenly asked him, "What will you do if I move away?"

Dou Yucong almost choked, and asked him, "Have you decided?"

"I'm just asking." Qu Yiheng said, "It's very annoying."

He wasn't sure if Woody would come back. In fact, everyone was a man. Even if the other party came back, it would hurt both sides. He wasn't weak enough to be bullied.

Just annoying.

Because of Woody, he can no longer paint with peace of mind.

Dou Yucong looked at the two of them and sat down on the sofa.

"Actually, I wanted to tell you a few days ago, but you have been drawing, and I didn't bother you." Dou Yucong said, "Well, I plan to move out."

Qu Yiheng frowned and looked at him: "Where are you moving?"

After asking, he remembered Mr. Cheng.

"You follow Mr. Cheng?"

Dou Yucong chuckled: "It's a bit quick."

Not only fast, Qu Yiheng remembered that it wasn't long after they broke up.

"What's going on?" Qu Yiheng asked, "When did you two get together?"

Dou Yucong leaned towards Yao Zhan: "Brother Yao, look at how fierce my brother is."

Qu Yiheng looked at him, waiting for his answer.

"Brother, what's the matter with you, I'm over 30, and you still care about me like a child." Dou Yucong said, "He Tong liked me when I was with Dog B before, but because I have Boyfriend, he never said it, and then I broke up, I was hurt, and he took advantage of it, and then I thought he was pretty good."

"We decided to be together because we thought it was good?" Qu Yiheng was a little puzzled, "Is this too hasty?"

"One has to be impulsive to advance the plot!" Dou Yucong said, "He likes me, and I feel pretty good when we get along, so let's try to be together."

Qu Yiheng has always known that, emotionally, Dou Yucong is braver than him. Back then, he decisively moved to live with his boyfriend for the sake of love. When he found out that the other party was cheating, he immediately cut off contact. Now that he has met a pretty good person, he is also willing to walk out of the shadow of the past Putting himself into a new relationship, Dou Yucong is an optimistic and brave person.

"And." Dou Yucong squinted and smiled, "This time, it's very different."

"Why is it different?" Qu Yiheng looked at him worriedly.

Dou Yucong suddenly put his arms around Yao Zhan, laughing so hard that the corners of his mouth split: "This time, I'm Brother Yao."

He patted Yao Zhan on the shoulder, smiled and slipped away.

"What does he mean?" Qu Yiheng didn't understand, and looked at Yao Zhan in a daze.

Yao Zhan obviously understood, but he didn't say it directly, he just said: "Your brother is really promising."

After a night of tossing around, Qu Yiheng dragged Yao Zhan into the room to sleep. The two of them did nothing, just embraced each other and fell asleep. When they woke up in the morning, Yao Zhan was alone on the bed.

He got off the bed and saw Qu Yiheng talking to Dou Yucong in the living room.

"Morning Brother Yao." Dou Yucong was already dressed and ready to go to work, he leaned over Qu Yiheng and said to Yao Zhan, "My brother has something important to announce, I'll go first!"

He opened the door and ran away, leaving only Qu Yiheng and Yao Zhan at home.

"What's the matter?" Yao Zhan fell into a drowsy sleep, and subconsciously kissed Qu Yiheng when he came over.

Qu Yiheng was taken aback for a moment, then raised his hand to cut his hair, and said, "Can you help find a house in City C these few days? I want to move back."

He spoke too calmly, as if he was talking about eating porridge and pickles later.

It took Yao Zhan a long time to realize what the other party said.

"You agree?"

Qu Yiheng nodded: "I can't draw with peace of mind here."

He said: "I don't know if Woody will come again. I am not afraid of him, but he will affect my emotions. I am short on time, and this painting is very important."

What Woody said yesterday reminded him that when the two were together, Woody had always disliked his works. At that time, Qu Yiheng really didn’t draw well, but only picked up some jobs here and there to support his life. Woody couldn’t understand it. , I feel that his "job" is not a long-term solution, and it is more realistic to say that he goes to work in a restaurant than being bored at home and dreaming of art.

At that time, Qu Yiheng liked to paint on Woody's body, and Woody would say that the paintings on him were much more beautiful than those painted on those papers.

I thought it was romantic at the time, but thinking about it now, Qu Yiheng just felt disgusted.

He has never regretted the things he has done and the people he has chosen. He has understood a truth since he was a child-the blisters on his feet come out by himself.

But not regretting doesn't mean he doesn't want to change, he can't change the past, he can only change the present.

He doesn't want to be denied anymore, neither he nor his works can be denied.

Now that he decided to start over, he went all out, and he didn't want to be disturbed.

"Leave it to me." Yao Zhan was very excited. He always felt that it was difficult for Qu Yiheng to make a decision, but he didn't expect the other party to be so decisive. "I'll call Shao Wei right away. He knows a lot of people, so make a decision as soon as possible."

Seeing him so excited, Qu Yiheng felt a little complicated.

In fact, he can find a new house in this city. There is no need to travel so far, more than 300 kilometers, so he agreed.

The reason, of course, was Yao Zhan.

Last night, he heard Yao Zhan's breathing gradually became stable, and his heart also stabilized. At that time, he secretly opened his eyes and looked at Yao Zhan for a long time, and then said to himself: Take a step forward, give each other A chance to get to know each other.

He hasn't let go of his courage to do anything for a long time, and during this time, he made two important decisions.

One is to start serious creation again, and the other is to give myself and Yao Zhan a chance.

They are all in their 30s. Dou Yucong is right, one-third of their lives have passed.

"Yao Zhan," said Qu Yiheng, "I may trouble you often in the future."

Yao Zhan was in such a good mood, he was about to call Shao Wei with his mobile phone: "Trouble me as much as you can, and trouble me as much as you want!"

He dialed the number: "I'll call Shao Wei."

Qu Yiheng looked at him with a smile: "I'll make you fried eggs."

When Shao Wei heard that Qu Yiheng was going to move back to City C, he was excited: "Dude, you can do it, this is a success!"

"No." Yao Zhan stood on the balcony and looked back towards the direction of the kitchen, "I think he has a crush on me, but it hasn't been done yet."

"It's almost the same, people have run so far for you," Shao Wei said, "You are awesome, but you are awesome."

"Okay, anyway, give me this matter. Get closer to my house. I'll go back tomorrow. If I'm free, I'll go and look at the house."

"No problem," Shao Wei said, "If there is anything else you need, I will solve it together. How about I give you the money for the marriage certificate, and you will be a follower."

"Fuck you." Yao Zhan smiled, "Not to mention that we can't get married, even if we can, you want nine yuan to send us? Just dream, ninety thousand is not enough for you!"

The two chatted casually and hung up the phone.

Yao Zhan turned around and looked out the window. Autumn here is also here, and the autumn is breezy. He stretched himself, and felt as if he had returned to his twenties, and suddenly felt that life was particularly exciting.
