love of life

The chat with Yu Xiaoxiao made Gu Ming fall into deep thought. What he wants in his heart is very important.Two days ago, I went to Ye Shi to sit alone, and I didn’t invite friends out to play, and I didn’t accept chatting up.Concentrate on drinking?As a result, he was very focused and drunk for two days.You asked Yu Xiaoxiao out yesterday, do you want to have sex?If that little episode hadn't happened, wouldn't the two have already made an appointment?After that?Is it a stranger?Or maintain a physical relationship for a while?

Yu Xiaoxiao on the other end of the phone lost her patience:

——I’m at the old place, come here if you’re interested, don’t waste time if you’re not.

The phone fell silent after receiving this message.Before Gu Ming had time to analyze his inner thoughts in detail, Ze Xi had already prepared dinner, and asked him to serve it.

Three vegetarian dishes, the taste is very light, but it tastes very comfortable.Gu Ming's mood was eased after a meal, and all the messy topics he talked with Yu Xiaoxiao just now were all forgotten.Seeing him eating with satisfaction, Ze Xi felt a sense of accomplishment.

After the meal, Zexi was busy cleaning up the dishes in the kitchen, while Gu Ming was sitting on the sofa watching TV. This scene of leisurely daily life hit Gu Ming's heart one after another.He vaguely remembered that when he was in elementary school, there was a complete family there. For a homework task assigned by the teacher, his mother cooked the food herself. The taste was very strange, but he and his father ate very happily.The scene in front of him overlapped with the only harmonious family fragment in memory, and a burst of happiness filled Gu Ming's heart.That was the only time in my memory. Later, my parents quarreled in the market, my mother had a car accident, and then that man appeared in his life, and the normal family life became farther and farther away from him until now.

He doesn't believe in love between men.Men are originally animals that think from the lower body, and there is a possibility of having an affair if they are tied together with a woman, let alone two such animals, at best they are friends with benefits.

Zexi was busy in the kitchen for nearly an hour, and then took the mop to the living room to clean up.His figure kept dangling in front of Gu Ming, making him completely unable to concentrate on playing with his phone.

"I said it's still late at night? Can you stop dangling in front of me?" Gu Ming said displeasedly while lying on the sofa.

Zexi stopped what she was doing, "Then I'll clean the bathroom and room first, and then clean the living room tomorrow." Zexi was about to put the mop back in the bathroom, but Gu Ming stopped her.

"Stop cleaning, let's go buy you clothes."

"Now? It's 08:30."

"The shopping malls are open until 10:30, and it's still early. I don't like the clothes you're wearing now. I'll give you 5 minutes to pack up and get ready to go out." Gu Ming left his phone on the sofa, got up and went back to the room to change. clothing.

Ze Xi looked down at the clothes on his body. Gu Ming found them for him last night. There was nothing wrong with the clothes, but the size was obviously too big by more than two sizes, and the shoulders almost slipped to the position of the arms.

Gu Ming changed his clothes and urged Zexi to go out.Zexi picked up the Land Rover car keys from the shoe cabinet, but was stopped by Gu Ming.

"You don't need to take it, I'm used to driving my car." After speaking, Gu Ming turned around, opened the door and walked out.Zexi followed with empty hands.

Gu Ming drove the car directly to the China World Shopping Mall in the city center.Zexi looked at the familiar yet unfamiliar shopping mall in front of him, and fragments of past events came one after another.The interior of the mall has been recently renovated, and the interior and lighting are bright and new, but the layout and branding inside have hardly changed.As soon as you enter the gate, the Manji Dessert at the corner is still there, and the business is still booming.

As soon as he entered the shopping mall, Gu Ming saw that Zexi's gaze had been staring at the dessert shop without moving away for a moment.

"Do you want to eat his dessert?"

A very common question from Gu Ming made Zexi flustered, and she quickly denied it: "No, I'll just take a look." After speaking, she deliberately walked in the opposite direction.

"The jewelry and cosmetics are sold over there, and the clothes are on the second floor."

"Oh." Zexi stopped and stood with her head down, waiting for Gu Ming to walk ahead.

Gu Ming sighed helplessly, "This way." After speaking, he took Zexi to the men's clothing area on the second floor.

"Just buy a set for formal wear, and there are not many opportunities to wear it on a daily basis." Gu Ming walked towards the store by the elevator on the second floor while talking.Zexi looked up and saw that the sign said VERSACE.This brand is still in the old place, unchanged.

Ze Xi followed behind Gu Ming, and said with some embarrassment: "Well... this store is very expensive, and a set of clothes costs tens of thousands. Let's change to another one."

Gu Ming turned around with a smile and said: "You also know that the clothes in this store are expensive, it seems that the dirt is so hopeless."

Zexi shut her mouth obediently, and followed him into the store with some embarrassment.The waiter changed the polite and indifferent expression in his memory, and was full of enthusiasm from the inside out, "Hello, Mr. Gu, there is a new model just released in autumn in the window, if you like it, you can try it."

Gu Ming pointed to the person behind him, "Today I came to buy it for him, first pick a suit for him to try on, don't make it too formal."

The waiter immediately turned his attention to Zexi, and looked him up and down. Although there was no strange expression on Zexi's face, he still felt embarrassed unconsciously.

"Okay, this gentleman should wear a medium size. Here are a few new ones from the beginning of the year. Which one do you like? I'll find it for you to try." The waiter pointed to the clothes hanging on the shelf on the right. He introduced the three sets of clothes to Zexi.

Zexi glanced at Gu Ming with some helplessness. Gu Ming had already sat down on the sofa in the rest area next to him, glanced in the direction of the waiter's finger, and said, "Take the two sets on the right and try it out."

Zexi, who came out of the fitting room, made people's eyes shine.His skin was fair, especially against the dark suit.For the first time, Gu Ming focused on his face. There was nothing special about his facial features, but they had a refreshing feeling when they were matched together.Although the old-fashioned hairstyle and cramped expression remained the same, he looked taller and straighter than usual for his short stature, and his previous obedient look with his back hunched over was also gone, like a freshly graduated college student.

Zexi looked at the person in the mirror, feeling much more complicated.Three years ago, he fantasized that he would have the opportunity to wear this suit to work in a well-known company in a few years, and win status and respect through his own efforts.It's a pity that good luck tricks people.He thought he had calmed down, but there was a familiar yet unfamiliar pain.

Next, Zexi was dragged like a puppet to try this one and that one. Half an hour later, Gu Ming was finally satisfied, swiped his card and left, and Zexi behind him had three big paper bags in his hand. A suit, a T-Shirt, two shirts and two pairs of slacks.

Gu Ming remembered that in the store just now, he insisted on buying only long-sleeved clothes, which made him feel very strange. "The short-sleeved T-shirt just now looks pretty, and it's cool to wear in summer. Why not? All the clothes are long-sleeved."

Lin Zexi said: "I'm not afraid of heat, I never like to wear short sleeves, I'm used to it."

"Hey, your habit is really strange. Are you not afraid of heatstroke in summer? Let's go to Adidas and Nike to have a look. It's better to wear something casual at home." Gu Ming said as he walked towards the third floor.

This time Zexi didn't follow, but stopped at the elevator entrance and insisted, "Don't buy it, I don't want it."

Gu Ming had a serious face, "What's the matter? Are you not satisfied with what I bought just now?"

"No, I have no position to ask you to buy things for me." Zexi said in a low voice but firmly.

Gu Ming was silent for a while, with an unhappy tone. "Just treat it as work clothes? From now on, you will appear in front of me every day. I buy clothes just to make me look comfortable, or are you trying to make things difficult for me and insist on wearing those tattered clothes to hinder my eyes?"

"No..." Zexi couldn't find a word to refute for a while, and let him buy two more bags of clothes and shoes with him, and left in satisfaction until the store announced the closure announcement.

Ze Xi followed behind Gu Ming with big bags and small bags. The paper bags bumped against his calf from time to time, and he just kept bumping forward.People passing by regarded him as Young Master Gu's little follower, and they all gave him sympathetic and playful expressions.

Gu Ming turned around and grabbed the bag in his left hand, held it in his hand and walked quickly towards the parking lot.Zexi trotted all the way and followed behind.After putting all the things into the trunk, Zexi finally took a breath. He supported the car and panted heavily. Gu Ming took out his mobile phone from his pocket and clicked on WeChat to take a look. Yu Xiaoxiao sent him another message half an hour ago. news, and asked him if he wanted to go there tonight.

"Is there something wrong?" Zexi sat down in the co-pilot and watched Gu Ming flip through his phone as soon as he got in the car.

"It's okay, let's go back." After Gu Ming finished speaking, he threw the phone into the grille of the car door and drove home.

Back at the apartment, Zexi was packing up, taking out the clothes from the bag and hanging them in the cabinet one by one.Gu Ming walked into the room and handed him two cards.

"There is 10000 yuan in a savings card, even if you prepay your salary for the first two months, and you use the other credit card to pay for your monthly household expenses. If you can't swipe the card, you can directly withdraw cash. I will be responsible every month. For repayment, the password is 654321."

"Oh, good." Zexi took the two cards, feeling heavy.

"Also, let me tell you in advance, spend what you should spend, don't think about saving money and lowering my quality of life." Gu Ming turned and left after speaking.

Zexi watched his leaving back, the bank card in his hand and the new clothes in the closet, feeling that everything in front of him was so unreal.He packed up his clothes and opened the door. Gu Ming had already entered the room to rest, and he let go of his hanging heart.The first day of work is finally over, and he finally has his own private time.He opened the suitcase he brought from the dilapidated apartment in the afternoon. Inside were some pajamas he was used to, a few books, and a tin box.He took the box out of the bottom of the box, blew the dust on it, stretched out his right hand and rubbed it lightly, and the uneven vicissitudes left by the rust stains slid across his fingertips.

Suddenly, Gu Ming pushed open the door of his room, "What are you doing? You don't go to bed so late, don't you have to get up early tomorrow?"

In a panic, Zexi stuffed the iron box into the box, kicked the box back under the bed with his feet, "Oh, ok, I'll go to sleep right away after packing up."
