Don’t Be a Kept Man

After a period of recuperation, I finally waited until the day I was discharged. The branches outside the window slanted out, and the bark was a moist dark black. It is hard to imagine that it was just a night, and there was such a thin first snow. In the early morning, if you have time to see in the future, it has melted in the light of the sky.

Shen You wears a black turtleneck sweater with a thin silver six-pointed star chain around his neck, and his thin chin is hidden in the collar. He sits cross-legged on the bed and plays games. He looks a little bit down without speaking. Ruthless.

Gu Lai just finished the discharge procedures and opened the door to come in. He cut off the too cold air outside, and smoothly pressed the baseball cap on his head, and asked softly, "Are the clothes packed?"

The hair on the front of Shen You was pretty good, but the one behind was scorched by sparks and had to be shaved, and only a short layer of stubble appeared in such a period of time. How should I put it...looks quite bald. of.

He didn't look in the mirror before. After looking in the mirror, he was ugly and had to put a hat on his head.

Shen You was used to living in the hospital for so long. He raised his head when he heard the words, and then pulled Gu Lai onto the bed and sat on the bed: "What is the hurry, sit for a while, it's freezing to death outside."

The brim of the hat covered his eyebrows. Gu Lai looked carefully for a long time and discovered that Shen You’s eyelashes are actually very long, but not so curled. When the eyes are lowered, a dense shadow will be cast down, forming with the white skin under the eyelids. sharp contrast.

Gu couldn't see him clearly, feeling a little pity, stretched out his hand to pull his hat, and then was held down by Shen You alertly: "What do you want?"

Gu Lai laughed inexplicably, "It's very beautiful, not ugly, why should you cover it with a hat?"

Shen Youxin couldn't believe what Gu Lai had said. He touched the back of his head unconsciously, always feeling that the growth rate of his hair was too slow. He thought he wouldn't be bald. People are alive and their hair is gone. What is this called?

Shen Lobby said: "You are not good at aesthetics."

After Gu Lai heard the words, he didn't know what to think of, and slowly took out a bracelet from his pants pocket. It was woven with black jade thread and dropped into a small light blue ball of light. The small wings behind him cleverly used the color of stone. The change happened to be a transparent texture from the tail wing, swaying gently in the air, chubby and cute.

Shen You paused when he saw this, and recognized that it was something Gu Lai had been grinding for a long time. Then the corners of his lips curled up uncontrollably. He didn't even play the game. He threw the phone aside and gave him a hand. Go out and beckon him to bring it for himself.

However, under Shen You's gaze, Gu Lai slowly put the bracelet back into his pocket, as if he was just taking it out to have a look.

Shen You instantly changed his face: "Hey."

Gu Lai: "Huh?"

Shen You was looking for something for the first time, and stumbled: "You...you give it to me."

Gu Lai didn't speak, his face dazzlingly wrote a sentence: I have a bad taste, don't ask.

Shen You thought that this idiot was quite grudges, he pushed Gu Lai directly onto the bed, pressed his wrists, and then went to take out his trouser pockets. Gu Lai struggled symbolically, thinking about Shen You’s injuries. Did not use all his strength, let him succeed.

Shen You grabbed the bracelet and was finally satisfied, but he always felt that he lacked a sense of ritual. He bumped into Gu Lai's arms and pinched the other's chin and said, "Bring it to me."

Gu Lai lifted his hand and took off his black baseball cap. Shen You glanced at it, but he didn’t care. He put all his energy on this small bracelet and urged: "Hurry up, bring me on."

The Buddha beads on Shen You's wrist were gently removed by Gu Lai. The seven beads accompany him countless days and nights and carry all his pain and unwillingness.

Gu Lai relaxed the stretch knot carefully, and then passed through Shen You's skinny wrist, adjusting to the proper tightness, and said seriously: "This can protect you."

Shen You lay down side by side with him, raised his hands, and looked at the light. The more he looked, the more he liked him, and he narrowed his eyes and said, "You won't really listen to that vendor's words, what auspicious stone, she lied to you of."

A light black rope with a small blue ball strung on it, with a pair of small wings behind it, the code name was 008.

"I will protect you."

Gu said,

"Always."

Shen You paused, and he raised his eyes to look at Gu Lai. He wanted to say this kind of love words that were earthy and outdated, but the other party's expression was so serious, serious enough to make him swallow all the meager and weak words in his throat.

Gu Lai saw the faint light of water in Shen You's eyes, but the other party pressed his lips tightly, refusing to show his timidity: "Need a hug?"

He asked, but didn't wait for Shen You to answer, slowly opened his arms and took the person into his arms.

Something is faintly different, breaking out of the ground, and before the brain gives instructions, the action is already one step ahead. It is different from the mechanical procedure of one glance. The beating and loud noises in his chest are all supported by warm blood. .

It's no longer 008, but Gu Lai.

Buried in his arms, Shen You whispered an swear word: "Fuck, you fucking..."

He choked and couldn't say anything.

Gu Lai didn't correct his words either, and patted his back lightly: "Go, go home."

The New Year’s Eve is approaching, and because of the time spent getting along, the little nurse stuffed a bag of peanut candies with melon seeds when I left. I wished a happy New Year. Gu Lai smiled and thanked, and then left with Shen You.

Walking out of the hospital’s gate, there was a roaring cold wind on the front of the shop. You could faintly hear the cheerful music from the opposite street. The supermarket was also crowded with crowds of people buying new year goods. This winter looked warm and warm.

Shen You's hat was almost blown away by the wind. He had to pull up the sweater collar and free a hand to press the brim of the hat. He passed by an uncle who used a lighter to light a cigarette. He subconsciously avoided it, and his movements were a bit big. , Provoke the other person to look over.

"nothing."

Regardless of the sight of others, Gu Lai embraced him in his arms, and then walked towards the parking space with Shen You, pulling the door for him as before, and then went around to sit in the driver's seat.

Shen You turned on the heating and saw a white mist floating in the car window. He suddenly remembered that the night when the class reunion ended, they seemed to do the same. They just missed a few cups of hot milk tea and couldn't help but smile, feeling like a world away .

Shen Lobby said: "Wait later, pass the milk tea shop, buy a few cups of milk tea."

Gu Lai also thought of a place with him, nodded and replied, "Okay."

Shen You leaned against the car window, stretched out his hand, drew a circle on it, and added a pair of wings, exactly the same as the one on his wrist. Gu Lai smiled when he saw his small movements, and asked with joy: " Isn't it cute?"

Shen You glanced at him obliquely, rarely competing, and nodded coldly: "Well, cute."

Gu Lai was happier, a joy that was visible to the naked eye.

In the second half of the road, he concentrated on driving and did not speak any more. Shen You looked at his phone and found that Shen's mother had sent a message: Ayou, come back for reunion dinner this year.

Shen You paused when he saw this, typed out a few lines, deleted them again, and only replied with two words: [No more. 】

A few minutes later, the phone rang and Mother Shen called. Shen You looked at Gu Lai who was driving beside him, then put on the headphones and connected.

Mother Shen didn't even know about his hospitalization, and her voice was always kind: "Ayou, don't get frustrated, come back for a meal during the New Year's reunion."

Shen You turned it down and refused: "There is something on hand, you can't get away, you can eat it."

Mother Shen said: "It's really not good, you can bring your object."

Shen You almost choked to death after hearing this, and it took him a long time to relax. What did he bring Gu to do? Are you being scolded? There was no time to think about how Mother Shen knew what she had talked about with her, and she refused immediately: "No, he is also busy."

Mother Shen seemed to sigh, and there was a lot of noise over the microphone. After a while, she lowered her voice and said, "This is what your father meant. He is hard to convince me. You can borrow a donkey from the slope. Where can I not hurt? Yes, you have lived outside these years. Although he doesn’t care, he doesn’t care about anything in private. Some time ago, he didn’t know what was wrong. He ran out in the middle of the night and caught a cold. He kept coughing when he came back. Look."

Shen You rubbed his fingertips, not knowing how to answer for a while.

Shen's anger also became tough: "What kind of stubborn temper, the old and the little ones are ruthless, your dad said, this year must be at home, whoever you take, dare not come and try!"

After speaking, I hung up, and there was a beeping busy tone.

Shen You squeezed the phone and thought of a lot of things at that moment. He saw the fast-reversed scenery outside and the towering buildings. They were obviously things that were accustomed to seeing, but at this moment they had a slightly different feeling. Come, I fell into God for a while.

Until Gu Lai exclaimed: "It's snowing."

Shen You subconsciously looked through the windshield, and as expected, he saw the stars and dots of snowflakes falling from the sky, but the tiny existence gave people a sense of vastness, and life was suddenly small.

"Hey..." Shen You paused before continuing: "Gu Lai, let's go to my house for dinner on New Year's Eve."

Gu Lai was dumbfounded: "Huh?"

In winter, everything is dormant, the branches are dry, only the green pine stands upright, and the deep green color is gradually covered with a layer of snow foam, like the green hills and green mountains in the middle of winter. It's a long scene.

The green hills remain unchanged, the green water flows...
