In the Same Boat

When Qu Yiheng's brother knocked on the door, the people in the room were lying on the bed in a daze.

For so many years, Qu Yiheng has almost no friends. He doesn't make friends, and he is not good at making friends. He is never comfortable in the crowd. He only feels himself when he is alone.

Hearing the knock on the door, he thought it was the property at first.

A while ago, the old lady upstairs went out after filling the washing machine with water. As a result, there was a flood of water in the house. The property management came to ask if it had seeped downstairs. He guessed it was the same thing.

Qu Yiheng didn't even bother to open the door for such a thing.

He has been annoyed for the past few days, and he needs to make up his mind on an important matter.

Those outside the door persevere, but those inside remain unmoved.

Dou Yucong knocked on the door until his hand hurt, but he didn't see any movement inside. He knew his brother's character too well. He originally wanted to stop shouting in the morning, but he didn't respond in a daze. He lost his patience, clear With a sharp voice, he shouted towards the closed door: "Qu Yiheng! Your real brother is here!"

Upon hearing this, Qu Yiheng quickly got out of bed.

The door opened, and looking at Dou Yucong who was fleeing with big bags and small bags in front of him, Qu Yiheng frowned and asked, "What's wrong?"

"I've been swept out of the house." Dou Yucong pushed the suitcase in his hand towards Qu Yiheng's house, and the suitcase slid in by itself.

Qu Yiheng turned sideways to let him in before speaking, Dou Yucong took things into the room and said cursingly: "I'm really convinced, do men nowadays have any good things?"

Qu Yiheng looked back at him: "You brought us both in, I don't know what you are like, I think I'm okay."

Dou Yucong smiled and looked at his brother: "That's true."

Three suitcases, two large schoolbags, and a large travel bag, Qu Yiheng suspected that Dou Yucong was actually a ninja, and he could come out to help with things at critical moments, otherwise how could he get so many boxes by himself?

"Brother, your house is too messy!"

When his parents just passed away, Dou Yucong lived with Qu Yiheng for two years. Later, he fell in love and moved out. He stayed with this boyfriend for six years. As a result, just now, when he came back from a business trip, he found out that There is an unfamiliar pair of men's thongs/words/pants at home.

Dou Yucong usually looks like he is joking and heartbroken like a coconut, but in fact he has his own principles and bottom line, and he can't tolerate such sand in his eyes.

At home, he calmly listened to the other party's explanation, then packed up his things and left without hesitation.

They rented that house, and each of them paid half of the rent until the end of the year. When he went out, he was still thinking about it. Fortunately, their plan to buy a house together last year had not been implemented, otherwise no matter whose name was written on the real estate certificate, it would be Breaking up now will involve a series of troublesome things.

He came to his brother's house resolutely. He called on the way and found that his brother was turned off. Since it was turned off, he must be at home.

He knows this man.

Qu Yiheng heard him complain about the chaos in his house, and said casually: "Then you clean it up."

He helped Dou Yucong take all the luggage to another room, and asked him, "Have you eaten yet?"

"What are you eating? I'm full of gas." Dou Yucong really started to clean up the house, found a garbage bag, and put away the fast food packages and takeaway boxes on the table, "Why don't you ask me what happened?" gone?"

"You said it yourself, and you were kicked out." Qu Yiheng said, "You were arrested for cheating?"

"Are you my brother?" Dou Yucong complained, "Did you say that about my brother?"

"I'm really not your brother."

If Qu Yiheng could talk a little more in front of someone and make some jokes, the only one was Dou Yucong.

Although the two of them are not biological brothers, they actually had a really good life after reorganizing the family. The family of four was very harmonious. During that time, Qu Yiheng was once more cheerful, but the good times didn't last long.

Dou Yucong was so blocked by his brother that he couldn't say a word, humming and picking up the garbage.

Qu Yiheng went into the room to put away his things, changed the bed sheet and quilt cover for him, and opened the window to ventilate the room that had not been lived in for a long time.

"If you ask me, I'd rather be like you, find a good girl to marry and live a good life," Qu Yiheng didn't ask, but Dou Yucong couldn't help but say, in front of his brother, he was like an open door. The door, his brother can't do without looking inside, "The dog B man breaks my heart."

Up to now, Dou Yucong doesn't know that Qu Yiheng is actually gay, it's not that Qu Yiheng deliberately hides it from him, it's just that they almost never talked about this topic, and he can't afford to say it on purpose.

"Don't mess around," Qu Yiheng said, "You can't go that way."

"Ah? Which one?" Dou Yucong froze for a moment, and found Qu Yiheng standing at the door of the room with a sullen face.

Qu Yiheng's face was not only calm, but his voice also became cold: "Cheat marriage."

"Oh, I'll just say that, can I, isn't that a disaster!" Dou Yucong waved his hand, "Forget it, you can't even tell I'm joking with you."

You can make other jokes, but not this one.

Qu Yiheng had loved others sincerely in the past, but in the end the other party chose to live a so-called "normal life", but in his opinion, that kind of person is no different from a liar, harming others and himself.

If he had to say who he hated the most in this world, it would probably be homosexuals who cheated on their marriages.

"What else does your family have to eat?" Dou Yucong put the garbage out at the door, and then went to open the refrigerator.

Braised instant noodles, seafood instant noodles, chicken stewed mushroom instant noodles, and a can of Laoganma.

"Take it." Dou Yucong went into the bathroom, washed his hands and said, "Let's go downstairs to buy vegetables."

"You go," Qu Yiheng was about to go back and lie down and think about life, "I still have things to do."

"What's the matter with you? Stay at home without saying a word, like a corpse, go out to get some air, and do anything after dinner!" Dou Yucong dragged him out, "By the way, your phone can still be turned on I suspect you bought it just to show off your wealth."

"I have nothing to show off, but I'm too lazy to open it." He said, "No one is looking for me anyway."

"Brother, what you said really chills my heart!"

Under Dou Yucong's coercion, Qu Yiheng finally went out.

The two of them, one is 1.8 meters 1.7 and the other is [-] meters [-]. Standing together, Dou Yucong looks like Qu Yiheng's brother.

Dou Yucong lives a delicate life, as long as he goes out, even if he just buys a dish, he has to clean up smoothly, even though today is the day he broke up, the day he was betrayed by the dog man, and he left sadly from the love nest where he lived for six years Days passed, but he still dressed handsomely, not like a 30-year-old man, but like a dashing young man in his early twenties.

On the other hand, Qu Yiheng was caught lying dead on the bed, how could he pretend to be good?A simple big T-shirt, a pair of light gray knee-length casual shorts, and a pair of flip-flops on his feet, he really looks like an old man out for a walk.

Dou Yucong said to him: "Why don't you cut your hair when it grows? Do you artists have to wear pigtails?"

"I'm too lazy to go." Qu Yiheng added, "I'm not an artist either."

Dou Yucong smiled, and put his arm around his brother's shoulder: "In my heart, my brother is the most talented artist, and he will be famous in history sooner or later!"

Every time Dou Yucong said that, Qu Yiheng actually felt a little uncomfortable.

He doesn't expect his name to go down in history, but at least he has to make a good appearance.

When he was in the Academy of Art, he was famous for being outstanding. During his four years in the school, or until two or three years after he left the Academy of Art, the name Qu Yiheng was often mentioned.

But that was all a few years ago, and Qu Yiheng suspected that he had started to go downhill since he left school. His creative career was just like his emotional life, a new Waterloo every day.

Such things as a great future and a long history are things that he only thinks about when he is in high spirits. Now he doesn't ask for this, he just hopes that at least the quality of life can be guaranteed, don't be hungry and full, don't eat this meal without a meal .

The two bought a bunch of things in the supermarket. Dou Yucong was richer than his brother. He took his brother in the supermarket and put everything in the cart as he saw it. He asked like coaxing a child, "Do you want chocolate? Potato chips?" No? Hey, have you ever drank this wine? Here are two bottles."

Qu Yiheng followed behind him and said to him, "You buy less."

"That won't work." Dou Yucong said, "We haven't seen each other for a long time. I miss you. Let's have a good drink tonight. Why don't you say that I drank too much outside and had sex with others after drinking?" and you."

Qu Yiheng frowned and slapped him on the back: "Nonsense all day long."

Dou Yucong just laughed, and then apologized again and again.

The two brothers returned home with a bunch of things, Dou Yucong took the initiative to ask Ying to cook, and Qu Yiheng didn't bother to be polite to him.

"Turn on your phone, what if someone really looks for you?"

Qu Yiheng knew that no one was looking for him, this was not the deadline for the publishing house, and the editor would not ask him for emergency.

It's ridiculous to say that normally there are few manuscript requests, and those publishing houses love to call him when he needs emergency, and they probably know that he is short of money and that he will not refuse.

The people in the kitchen started to work, Qu Yiheng went to the bathroom to wash his face, and then went back to the bedroom.

His mobile phone has been lying on the bedside table for three days, and it has not been turned on for three days.

He hesitated for a moment, took the mobile phone and lay down on the bed, grabbed a panda doll that Dou Yucong gave him when he came last time, hugged it in his arms, and pressed the power button.

Dou Yucong said before that he bought this mobile phone to show off his wealth, but in fact, he has used this broken mobile phone for five years, and the booting speed is much slower.

The phone was turned on, and it took a while for various software to start up.

He opened WeChat, wanting to see what that "Class 13 of the Fifth Middle School" was talking about recently.

But after opening WeChat, he didn't bother to read group messages anymore, because he received a friend request.

In the "nearly three days" column, Yao Zhan's name suddenly appeared.

For a moment, Qu Yiheng's heart seemed to be squeezed by a hand, and his whole body tensed up.

Looking at the name, he unconsciously remembered those hidden corners when he was young, and the "farewell ceremony of youth" that the two of them had in the hotel at noon that day.

"Hey, I found out that there is no candy in the house!" Dou Yucong poked his head in suddenly, seeing his brother put down the phone in a panic, he was puzzled, "What are you doing?"

"It's okay." Qu Yi weighed himself up, "I'll go buy it."

"Ah, then you go, braised pork can't do without sugar." Dou Yucong told him, "Just go to the convenience store downstairs and buy it. Hurry up, I'm in a hurry to cook here!"
