passion story

A large part of the reason why he said that yesterday was that he wanted to be with me.Maybe you don't understand what I said...Anyway, I also want to be with him, I just want to be with him--I am with Liu Ye, the girl on the blind date, to be clear. "

Wu Tian looked at the stern-faced Principal Wu, and continued, "Gun, I thought being a teacher was pretty good, I had a solid job, and the pay was good, and it was relatively leisurely... Before I met Nie Yuan again, I never liked anyone. , I feel that it’s good to live alone in a daze, or if you insist on getting me married, it’s not that I can’t find a girl who is pleasing to the eye... Now that I think about it, these thoughts are too unlike a man, I want to continue studying , I like Nie Yuan, apart from him, I don't want to talk about friends with anyone else, these are my real thoughts."

After a long time, Principal Wu said slowly: "You are so naive, you only see your own thoughts - have you ever thought about it, it is very difficult to take the postgraduate entrance examination, and, gay, do you think that a few friends around you To support you means that the whole society supports you? Wu Tian, ​​think about it, after you graduate and go out to work, your boss is likely to be your father's age—will he support homosexuality?"

"You think too ideally about life."

Wu Tian had to admit that what she said made sense, or rather, was quite correct.

"I'm not afraid."

Principal Wu looked at Wu Tian with pity: "You are not afraid, okay, let's not discuss whether you will be afraid in the future if you are not afraid now, let's just say, if you are not afraid, is Nie Yuan afraid? Can you guarantee Nie Yuan's courage? Do you face all kinds of setbacks with you?"

"I can."

"You can be a fart!" The always elegant Principal Wu finally couldn't help but swear: "You can't imagine the pressure you are going to bear!" Sighing, he continued: "Wu Tian, ​​you know too much about society. Less, I’m not saying this because I’m dozens of years older than you, but you really don’t know much about it, the kind of cruelty you can’t imagine.”

Wu Tian knew in his heart that Principal Wu really loved him, worried about him, and thought of him.

but--

"What should be experienced has to be experienced, so let me wait, even if I fail in the future, have a bad life, and break up with Nie Yuan..." Wu Tian said word by word: "At least I won't regret it."

When he walked out of the principal's office, the late-summer sunshine shone arrogantly all over the ground.

This is the first day of senior freshmen entering high school. Wu Tian walked by the classroom windows. It was recess, but most of the stiff freshmen were sitting in their seats. Occasionally, one or two of them lay on the On the railing of the corridor, looking into the distance, probably feeling homesick.

Wu Tian couldn't help curling his lips. He remembered that seven years ago, he reluctantly came to No. 22 Middle School, Rocket Class [-], and lay down in the corner. He was very cold and pretending.Nie Yuan at that time was also like these students now, reserved and nervous.

It won't be long before these new students get to know each other well, and they will have crazy class breaks that make the class teacher a headache.

Just like when he and Nie Yuan got to know each other back then, he stopped pretending and trotted every day to buy dinner for the two of them.

Wu Tian took out his mobile phone, took a picture of the bright corridor, and sent it to Nie Yuan.

After a while, the phone vibrated, and it was Nie Yuan's reply:

very nice.

When will your resignation procedures be completed?You can start looking for houses online, and you don’t need to buy train tickets in advance. There are many trains from Gancheng to Beijing.

Look, seven years have passed, aren't we together again?So the next seven years, the next seven years, probably nothing to be afraid of.

"Om—" Before the reply to Nie Yuan was sent out, a phone call came in.

It's an unfamiliar number.

The author has something to say: I'm really busy, sorry...

☆, come back

The screen showed that the number was from Guangzhou.

Wu Tian hesitated for two seconds before answering the phone.

"Wu Tian?"

Wu Tian was stunned: "It's me."

"I'm Xue Lizhen."

"Well, I can hear it..."

Wu Tian was ready to say "You made a mistake", but he never expected it to be Xue Lizhen.

He went to Guangzhou?so far.

"I heard that Zhou He is ill, is it?"

"Ah, you... Who did you hear that from?"

Wu Tian was thinking about another thing: Since Xue Lizhen heard that Zhou He was ill, which meant that he was still in contact with the people around Zhou He - then he should be able to follow the clues to find him, right?

"I heard from my former colleagues that Zhou He didn't go to work for several days because of illness. Is... seriously ill?"

Very serious.

But does Zhou He want to see Xue Lizhen?

Wu Tian knows Zhou He too well: he is a person who knocks out his teeth and swallows them in his stomach, no matter how much he suffers and how much he is wronged, he will always look careless and capable.

Even he was like this with Xue Lizhen, he liked Xue Lizhen, Wu Tian thought, but he refused to admit it.These two people seem to be competing with each other to see who can be more heartless.

"I'll tell you the truth," Wu Tian cleared his throat, "The initial diagnosis was lung cancer. He went for an examination yesterday, and the result came out three days later... You can already see the shadow on the film taken earlier."

"...Lung, cancer." Xue Lizhen murmured.

Wu Tian added: "Don't tell others, he doesn't want others to know."

"Is he going to die?"

Wu Tian was speechless.

Things have come to this point, there are always some heavy problems that cannot be avoided.

right.

Wu Tian suddenly couldn't bear to throw a more positive answer to Xue Lizhen.

"I don't know, it depends on further inspection."

"Well, I see."

"Zhou He has been looking for you for a long time," Wu Tian said with a guilty conscience, "He is very worried about you."

"Really." Xue Lizhen responded lightly.

It seems that there is nothing to say, "Is there anything else?"

"No, thank you, I'm hanging up." As soon as Xue Lizhen finished speaking, a busy tone of "beep beep" came out from the phone.

Wu Tian sighed inwardly, and put the phone back into his pocket.Don't tell Zhou He about this.

In the afternoon, Wu Tian went back home. He had inquired in advance that his parents had gone out of town for the past few days.

He found the professional books he had in college, and took out the thick Notes on Shishuoxinyu and Today's Translation of Zhuangzi's Notes and Translations from the bookcase, and put them in the trolley case he brought.

He took a few pieces of clothes for each of the four seasons. When he was kicked out of the house that day, he wore a pair of sneakers and a pair of sneakers, but he can change them now.Wu Tian saw that there was still a lot of space left in the trolley case, so he packed a pair of thick leather winter boots into it—Beijing is further north than Gancheng, and winter will be colder.

Some time ago, Principal Wu gave him a card, fearing that he would not have enough money to live outside.Wu Tian took out the card - he didn't spend any of the money on it - and put it on the coffee table in the living room.

After tidying up the messy room by himself, Wu Tian turned on the computer in the study.There are some work files that have been accumulated one after another. Now that I am about to resign, I should clean it up.

As soon as you turn it on, the browser pops up.Wu Tian suddenly discovered that the browser had changed—the computer was using firefox before?Parents don't play computers, and it took him a long time to teach them how to type on a mobile phone.It probably came with a software update.

Wu Tian didn't take it seriously, just about to click the "×" in the upper right corner, his heart skipped a beat.

He glimpsed "gay" in the menu bar.

If you look carefully, you will find one favorite page after another: Is homosexuality a disease, what to do if your child is gay, will homosexuality get AIDS, will you die if you get AIDS...

Wu Tian clicked on these webpages one by one, there were objective and accurate popular science, and some nonsense, the small words on the screen were densely packed.

Two lines of tears "shua" flowed down from the eye sockets.

When he pulled the suitcase and left home, Wu Tian changed his shoes, stood at the door, and looked around at the house he was so familiar with.

The next time I come, I don't know when it will be.

I was so grateful that I couldn't even say "I'm sorry" to my face.He has no choice.

At dinner time, Wutian arrived at Qiuxi Village, Li County.

After getting out of the taxi, he saw Nie Yuan standing at the entrance of the village with a cane on his back, looking at Wu Tian with bright eyes.

Wu Tian walked towards him, wanted to raise his hand to touch him, but held back—on second thought, why the hell am I holding back!I'm right now!

So he confidently moved over Nie Yuan's head twice, and pinched his face again.

"It's still outside, can you stop being so...hungry." Nie Yuan slapped his dog's paw.

"Would it be possible to—"

"No," Nie Yuan smiled, "My grandma is at home these two days."

The two of them walked towards Nie Yuan's house while talking, and when they passed by the small supermarket, Wu Tian pushed Nie Yuan with his elbow: "The last time I came to look for you, there was no one in your house, and the owner of this supermarket told me that you were there." In the city——I didn’t die of depression.”

"Depressed what?"

"Doesn't that prove that you didn't come back? I wondered if you would go to Guizhou and never come back."

"Why did I go to Guizhou? My dad...only contacted me a few times a year. Usually, he couldn't get through on the phone. I didn't even know where he was."

Wu Tian let out an "ah", not knowing what to say.

On the contrary, Nie Yuan said in a relaxed tone: "My parents' bad debts can't be cleared up. The two always feel that the other party owes us. My mother thinks my father is worthless. My father hates my mother for cheating. Let them complain to each other." , I have nothing to do."

Wu Tian knew that although Nie Yuan said it nonchalantly, he must be sad, so he put his shoulders on him: "I'm here."

"You want me to treat you as a parent?" Nie Yuan joked.

"Next time... you can try calling Dad..."

"Go away! Can you have some ethics as a teacher of the people?"

"It is no longer the people's teacher."

"..." Nie Yuan didn't answer, walked a few more steps, and suddenly said, "Such a good job...it's a pity."

Wu Tian didn't keep up with Nie Yuan's rhythm all of a sudden, and after a few seconds, he grabbed Nie Yuan's hand and looked into his eyes: "You can find another job after you lose it. , Thinking about it this way, I've made a lot of money." As he spoke, he squeezed the thin callus on his palm.

Nie Yuan frowned, and nodded with a smile: "Okay, I also think you've made a lot of money."

Wu Tian didn't let go, and the two held hands and walked towards Nie Yuan's house. Anyway, it was lunch time and there was no one on the road.

When Wu Tian thought of Zhou He's illness, an abyss appeared in his heart, black and bottomless, every time he looked, he would be sucked down.And Nie Yuan was a giant tree vine stretching down from the sky, wrapping tightly and gently around his waist, pulling him out of the abyss of pain.

At the door of the house, Nie Yuan took out the key, opened the door, and an old man with a stoop came out immediately.

"Grandma, this is Wu Tian, ​​my buddy."

"Hello, you can call me Xiao Wu." Wu Tian bent down and said to the old man.

"This kid is so handsome!" Nie Yuan's grandmother smiled, the wrinkles at the corners of her eyes bloomed into a flower, very kind.

"Let's go, grandma has already cooked dinner." Nie Yuan patted Wu Tian on the shoulder.

Wu Tian followed him into the room, and saw a wooden square table set up in the living room, not too big, and the plates on the table were crowded one by one.

Wu Tian was already hungry, so he hurried to wash his hands, and then sat at the dining table like a primary school student, chatting with his grandma while peeking at the dishes on the table.

They are all home-cooked dishes, Sixi meatballs, braised pork, roast chicken, stir-fried wheatgrass, cold fungus, and a soup made from unidentifiable vegetables—but Wu Tian just smells so delicious, thinking that Nie Yuanxi How can I wash my hands so slowly.

"The temperature is just right," Nie Yuan came over with two bottles of beer in his hand, "I just put it in the water to cool down."

"Xiao Yuan, why are you drinking?!" Grandma frowned, looking unhappy.

"Just one bottle, we each have a bottle, isn't it hot?" Nie Yuan smiled softly, and handed the wine to Wu Tian.

"Xiao Wu, when you play with Xiao Yuan, you can watch him and don't let him drink, he is so old!"

"Grandma, I'm already 25." Nie Yuan said helplessly.

"No problem, I'll look at Xiao Yuan, don't worry." Wu Tianke emphasized the word "Xiao Yuan".

Nie Yuan's face was a little red, he hadn't drunk the wine yet.

After dinner, Wu Tian offered to wash the dishes, but Nie Yuan taunted him mercilessly: "You rest, I have to keep the bowls for dinner." Go and help me move a chair to the kitchen, and I will sit and wash.

Wu Tian moved the chair obediently.

After a while, grandma went out to chat with the villagers in the shade, and Wu Tian rushed into the kitchen.

"Go out, the kitchen is small, you don't think it's too hot here." Nie Yuan shook his shoulders, trying to blow his head away from his shoulders.

"I'm here to learn. I can't let my wife do the dishes all the time in the future."

"Daughter-in-law, what a fart."

"Then I can't let my husband wash the dishes all the time, can I?"

"..."

After washing the dishes and wiping the table, the two walked into Nie Yuan's hut.

Wu Tian fell directly on Nie Yuan's bed and rubbed against the pillow for a long time, feeling extremely satisfied.

Nie Yuan sat in front of the small table and watched Wu Tian rubbing enough, and then said: "Get up, I'll pack my things."

"Ok?"

"The bed board can be opened."

Wu Tian got up and lifted a corner of the bed sheet and mattress. Sure enough, he saw a round hole on the bed board. He could pick the round hole to lift the bed board up. The bottom was hollow and could be used to put things.

"Have you learned a lot?" Nie Yuan smiled and lifted the bed.

There were two large packages underneath, and Nie Yuan lifted one of them up and unwrapped it, revealing folded clothes.

They are all old, pilled sweaters, autumn clothes with baggy necklines...

Nie Yuan picked and picked out a few clothes, then folded the rest of the clothes and tied the package again.

I opened another one, and it was still old clothes, but there was a white plastic bag, which was so big that I couldn't see what was in it.Nie Yuan let out an "ah" and untied the plastic bag.

"This is……"

In 2008, Wu Tian gave Nie Yuan New Year's presents, overcoats, sweaters...all with labels, brand new, neatly folded together.

"I—" Nie Yuan stroked his chin: "This—"

Wu Tian directly hugged his neck and kissed his lips.

What time takes away, what is returned.

After thousands of turns, there is always something.

Just when Wu Tian made persistent efforts to stick his palm on Nie Yuan's thin waist——

"Om-"

"Your cell phone is ringing." Nie Yuan pushed Wu Tian away, panting.

"..."

Which, one, king, eight, egg.

... Zhou He.

Wu Tian answered the phone expressionlessly: "Hello?"

"Go to the hospital to get the results tomorrow, you don't have to go," Zhou He coughed, "Xue Lizhen is back."

☆, result

"He bought a plane ticket and flew back from Guangzhou," Zhou He said, coughing, "I didn't expect..."

Wu Tian couldn't hold back, and cursed in his heart, "The villain gets his wish".

Zhou He has basically stopped coughing in the past two days. Wu Tian judged based on his own experience with him from childhood to adulthood, this guy is pretending to be weak when he sees Xue Lizhen. Not very polite.

"Okay then, remember to call me when the result comes out."

"Got it." He coughed twice.

Wu Tian couldn't help lowering his voice and said, "Take it easy, your lungs will be hurt if you cough too much."

Zhou He smiled and hung up the phone.

"Xue Lizhen will accompany Zhou He to the hospital tomorrow, so I don't have to go." Wu Tian grabbed Nie Yuan's shoulders.

"Oh, Xue Lizhen..." Nie Yuan nodded: "My dad came back some time ago and fell ill. I took him to the hospital and shared the ward with Xue Lizhen's mother."

It was only now that Wu Tian remembered what happened, and hurriedly asked, "Is your father alright?"

"It's not serious at first, and it's okay to take medicine. I want to give him a good treatment." Nie Yuan said with a blank expression: "As a result, he stayed for more than a week and left by himself. There is no way to stop him."

"……Oh."

The atmosphere was a little depressed, Wu Tian kissed Nie Yuan on the forehead.

"Let's go, I'll tidy up quickly..." Nie Yuan pushed Wu Tian who came closer again.

But he hardly exerted any strength, and his warm palms rested on Wu Tian's shoulders through the shirt, with a strong sense of wanting to welcome and yet rejecting.

Wu Tian couldn't find Bei all of a sudden.

It was almost ten o'clock when Nie Yuan packed the unpacked clothes in a canvas.

Wu Tian went to take a shower first, and then helped Nie Yuan, who was in a plaster cast, scrub his body. After all this, the two of them were sweating profusely again.

But they are still squeezed on the small single bed, one's chest is pressed against the other's back, and neither of them moves.

The old man went to bed early, and grandma had already gone back to bed.

The two had no choice but to turn off the lights and chat in a low voice, as if they were whispering.As he talked, Nie Yuan's answer became vague, and after a while, Wu Tian asked, "Are you asleep?"

His answer was even breathing.

Wu Tian smiled silently, rubbing his lips against the back of Nie Yuan's head.

It will be about eleven o'clock, Zhou He-is it just a spring breeze?

It's not that Wu Tian is wretched, but based on his understanding of Zhou He, Xue Lizhen traveled all the way to buy a plane ticket and fly back, which in itself is enough to explain his feelings for Zhou He.And Zhou He has always been a gangster who pushes his nose and face to take advantage of the fire... Tsk.Thinking of the wrong plot interrupted by Zhou He today, Wu Tian wanted to call Zhou He right now to take revenge.

It's a pity that the mobile phone is placed on the table next to the bed, and I have to get out of bed to get the mobile phone.The narrow single bed didn't allow him to get up quietly, not to mention that Nie Yuan's leg in plaster was still close to him, so he didn't dare to move.

Xue Lizhen.

Thinking of him made me a little sad again.

In fact, Xue Lizhen hasn't changed, he's just pretending to be gentle and peaceful - to put it bluntly, he's competing with Zhou He.When this time really came, Xue Lizhen's true nature came out all of a sudden, because with a few words of his own, he didn't hesitate to send him back--he was still the surly and domineering young man back then, regardless of the consequences.

Is it just... too late?

The tug-of-war between Xue Lizhen and Zhou He, which lasted for many years, may be coming to an end.

Wu Tian woke up early the next morning, and when he opened his eyes, he saw that Nie Yuan was already playing with his mobile phone.

"So early?" Nie Yuan turned his head and raised the corner of his mouth at him: "It's just seven o'clock."

"Zhou He is going to get the results of the puncture today..." Wu Tian stepped over Nie Yuan's legs carefully, got out of bed, and took a deep breath facing the cool morning breeze blowing in from the window: "I'm a little nervous. "

"How could he have cancer? He is still so young." Nie Yuan sighed.

"I'm going to wash up." Wu Tian patted Nie Yuan's head, picked up the tooth jar he bought yesterday, and walked out of the room.

He spent the morning tremblingly, with his mobile phone in his trouser pocket, separated by a thin fabric - if it vibrates, he can feel it immediately.

But until grandma brought the steaming hot meatball soup to the table, she didn't wait for Zhou He's call.

While talking to his grandma, Wu Tian accepted her inquiry of "do you have a date", while guessing wildly in his heart.

At this point, Zhou He still hasn't called him.Could it be... he was diagnosed, and he was not in the mood to tell himself?

Even, maybe even already hospitalized, busy with paperwork - very bad.

Nie Yuan patted Wu Tian on the shoulder, and said softly, "Go and make a phone call and ask, don't wait."

Wu Tian looked at his face, then turned to his grandma and said, "You are eating, I have something to make a call."

After waiting for a long time, it was picked up over there.

"Wu Tian." Zhou He's voice was a little vague and hoarse.

Wu Tian's heart sank.

"You... how did it turn out?"

"As a result," Zhou He paused for a few seconds: "I haven't gone to the hospital yet."

Wu Tian: "..."

"I slept late last night," Zhou He smiled, with complacency in his tone: "You understand."

Wu Tian said "calm down" to himself a few times in his heart, but finally he couldn't hold back: "Can you fucking stop being so smart and crazy!"

"A spring night is worth a thousand—" Zhou He's voice suddenly became softer: "Li Zhen, I want to drink water."

Then Wu Tian faintly heard Xue Lizhen's voice: "I'll get it, you lie down, the towel is tightly wrapped..."

Wu Tian: "..."

Probably Xue Lizhen walked away, Zhou He said: "Xue Lizhen is so kind."

"……Um."

"I really didn't expect him to come back. I thought he hated me to death. You know, when he just found out that I was going to get married, he was drunk by a client one night and ran to my door in the middle of the night. Crying while smashing, telling me not to get married," Zhou He paused, and then said slowly: "But I ignored him."

"you--"

"Wu Tian," Zhou He cut off his words, "I regret it."

The words "I regret it" became bolder.

He actually cried.

After eating too much for lunch, Wu Tian helped grandma put away the bowls and chopsticks. Wu Tian returned to Nie Yuan's hut, and as soon as he entered the door, he turned around and hugged Nie Yuan who was following behind him.

"How is he?" Nie Yuan asked warmly.

"He hasn't gone to the hospital to get the results, but," Wu Tian lowered his head and rested his head on Nie Yuan's shoulder: "He regrets it. He loves Xue Lizhen, and he didn't say it before."

Nie Yuan quietly hugged Wu Tian's waist.

"I read a sentence before, which probably said that life is like playing cards, everything is random, some people get good cards, some people get bad cards - it's all fate, there is no way out," Wu Tian's nose was sour: "But this bad card came too fucking early, right?"

Nie Yuan was also speechless, so he could only tighten his arms and hug Wu Tian forcefully.

In the face of death, no amount of love, resentment or hatred becomes powerless. The essence of life is like a wilderness, with a vast expanse, silent and desolate.

So the embrace at this moment has become very precious. A fire ignited on the wasteland. Although I don't know how long it can burn, every second is soft and warm.

"Nie Yuan..."

"Huh?" Nie Yuan patted Wu Tian's waist lightly: "What's wrong?"

"Nie Yuan."

"……Um."

Zhou He was lying on the hospital bed, his face was pale and his lips were blue.

His hair was very long, and he didn't get a haircut because he couldn't sit up anymore.

Xue Lizhen gently pushed back the hair on his forehead, leaned down and called him: "Zhou He, Zhou He?"

Zhou He blinked his wooden eyes.

"Zhou He, do you recognize me?" Xue Lizhen said hurriedly, "I'm Xue Lizhen, Zhou He, do you still understand me?"

A doctor opened the door and walked into the ward, sighing: "Stop screaming, his brain function...has lost a large part."

Xue Lizhen sat on the edge of the hospital bed, clutching Zhou He's swollen hand due to frequent infusions, and did not speak.

"I'm here to tell you," the doctor adjusted his glasses with a regretful tone, "It's probably just these few days...you can prepare for the funeral."

"what--!!!"

Wu Tian yelled and sat up directly from the bed.

Sweat was all over the back, and the shirt was soaked.

"What's wrong?" Nie Yuan sat on a chair beside him, startled by him.

"...It's okay." Wu Tian pulled his brows hard, "I had a nightmare."

I glanced at my phone, it was [-]:[-], it was the hottest time, and the afternoon sun came in through the window.

"What are you doing?" The dream just now was too real and terrifying, Wu Tian desperately needed to divert his attention.

"Read the article." Nie Yuan shook the phone in his hand, and the page of Cangjiang Literature City was displayed on the screen.

"Your "Dark Night" ended so hastily, do you still plan to write it?"

"Write," Nie Yuan said affirmatively, "I'll continue to write when our affairs are settled."

"Well, okay, otherwise, when I see those people leaving messages to scold you, I want to scold you back."

"Just scold me, it's my fault," Nie Yuan smiled, "I wasn't in a good mood at the time, so I didn't feel like writing, so I just put it off."

"because I?"

Nie Yuan squinted at Wu Tian: "Are you proud?"

Wu Tian also smiled: "I feel very guilty."

"Ok?"

"I shouldn't have been inking for so long. If I had known that you were interested in me, I should have just... solved it at once-I feel sorry for your readers."

Nie Yuan stretched out his hand and knocked on the top of Wu Tian's head: "You can't live if you don't play some hooligans every day, can you?"

"I'm not just talking about it."

Nie Yuan looked helpless: "That's right."

The moment he finished speaking, the sound of "嗡——" rang out suddenly!

Nie Yuan picked up Wu Tian's phone, glanced at the screen, and suddenly said in a heavy tone, "It's Zhou He." Then he handed it to Wu Tian.

Wu Tian leaned his back against the cool wall, trying to calm himself down.

"……Hey."

Zhou He: "The result is out."

"You said."

"I won't talk about it if it's too professional. Anyway, the result is," Zhou Heyu said with a smile, "I don't have to die."

"……What's the meaning?"

"Let me talk about it," Xue Lizhen's voice suddenly came from the phone, with a brisk tone: "The pathology report shows that there is no lung cancer, the shadow is pneumonia, and the cysts touched by the doctor are suspected to be natural. This kind of situation is very rare."

"No lung cancer?"

"Yes," Xue Lizhen replied emphatically, "I don't have lung cancer."

Wu Tian's clenched fists slowly loosened, regardless of whether he was born deformed or not, the words "I didn't have lung cancer" suddenly let go of all his strength.

"Come out to surf at night, I'm suffocating these days!" Zhou He shouted from the side.

"What a waste, cure the inflammation first, go back and pack your luggage, and go to Beijing to check your deformed lung!" Xue Lizhen yelled back ferociously.

"I'm driving, hang up first." After he finished speaking, he hung up the phone without waiting for Wu Tian's answer.

Nie Yuan asked, "Did Zhou He have cancer?"

"Um……"

Wu Tian leaned his head against the wall, hugged Nie Yuan who came closer, and let out a long breath.

"That's great, Nie Yuan, that's great."

Nie Yuan threw himself on his chest and laughed sullenly: "Yes, that's great."

The author has something to say: the countdown to the end begins

☆, tomorrow (end)

A month later.

"What's the ticket number?"

"That's the day after tomorrow, so soon."

"confident?"

Nie Yuan came over with a glass of water, took a sip, and handed it to Wu Tian.

Wearing earphones and Zhou He's voice, Wu Tianzheng took two gulps of water and put the cup on the simple table at hand.

Nie Yuan turned and left, and Wu Tian chatted with Zhou He for another 5 minutes before ending the conversation.

"Eat!" Nie Yuan yelled while sitting on the chair with Erlang's legs crossed, looking at the phone screen.

Wu Tian walked out upon hearing the words, raising his eyebrows: "Is this cold pig's ear?"

"Well, I met you at the vegetable market today, so I bought some—try it, isn't it too spicy?"

Wu Tian grabbed the chopsticks and stuffed a piece into his mouth, while chewing he shook his head: "It's not spicy, just right."

Nie Yuan put down his phone, took a spoonful of tomato and egg soup and soaked it in the rice: "That's fine."

The desk in the bedroom was bought on a certain treasure, less than 200 yuan, a simple version, for Wu Tian to study.In the past, Nie Yuan Gengwen used to go to Internet cafes, but after he came to Beijing, he was persuaded by Wu Tian to buy a notebook, so he bought a desk along with it.The two desks were originally side by side, with Wu Tian studying and Nie Yuan Gengwen facing each other.But within a few days, Nie Yuan moved his desk to the living room - face to face, unable to write at all, just chatting with Wu Tian.Even if he wasn't chatting, the occasional meeting of eyes would make him giggle for a while, and the flash of inspiration in his mind would be wiped out.

As for the dining table, Nie Yuan didn't think it was necessary—it was just two people, and they couldn't eat anywhere.

But Wu Tian vetoed his proposal without even thinking about it: "Eating is such an important thing, of course you have to buy a good table! If you lose the fun of eating, there's no energy left to take the postgraduate entrance examination!" After finishing speaking, he curled his lips pitifully.

Nie Yuan ignored him: "We are both living on our laurels now, so we can save as much as we can. Isn't it okay to use the desk to eat?"

Wu Tian protested: "That's called eating, that's called working."

"You are the young master who is used to life." Nie Yuan frowned, "You can even eat—"

"How could you say that about me?" Wu Tian was aggrieved and annoyed all of a sudden, "I just want you to live a more comfortable life, don't I?"

After speaking, he walked into the bedroom, closed the door and sulked himself.

Nie Yuan sat in the living room for a while, calmed down, thinking that what he said just now seemed to have been said.In order to be with him, Wu Tian made troubles with his family like that, and quit his good job... The more he thinks about it, the more he feels guilty.

But he couldn't bear to coax others, so after thinking for a long time, he simply grabbed the key and went out, heading straight to the nearby supermarket.

My eyes were dazzled, and I finally picked out a whole set of kitchen utensils, and then went to the vegetable market. Relying on the memory of watching my grandma cook, I bought tomatoes, eggs, green peppers, a piece of tenderloin, and various condiments.

It was almost six o'clock when we got home, and the door opened from the inside as soon as the key was inserted into the lock.

"Where did you go?!" Wu Tian looked anxious.

"I... went to the vegetable market."

"How not to answer the phone?"

Nie Yuan put down the bags in his hands and took out his cell phone. There were 7 missed calls, all of which were from Wu Tian.

"Uh, the vegetable market is too noisy, I didn't hear it."

Wu Tian lowered his brows and looked like an angry little daughter-in-law: "You scared me to death, I thought you left in a fit of anger... I'm sorry, it was my fault at noon today."

Nie Yuan was stunned: "Huh?"

Wu Tian said softly: "Dining table, if you don't think you need to buy it, don't buy it."

Only then did Nie Yuan realize the situation, and couldn't help laughing "puchi": "Don't you ask me what I did in the vegetable market?"

"Hey - what did you do?" Both of them were shopping outside.

"I went to buy vegetables, and I bought pots, shovels, etc. I will cook tonight, so I won't go downstairs to buy."

"Huh? Why?"

"I'm not trying to make amends, I thought I was so angry that you hid in the house and cried secretly at noon," Nie Yuan smiled, "You took away the lines."

This was the first home-cooked meal the two ate after they came to Beijing, tomato and egg soup, fried pork with green pepper, the taste...was very average.

Wu Tian repeatedly praised him, talking about why the tomato and egg soup is so delicious, and saying that this green pepper fried meat has a layered taste... Nie Yuan was so annoyed that he tapped his chopsticks on the top of his head: "Shut up and eat!"

"I'm not too excited," Wu Tian smiled obsequiously, "I have a good wife."

This meal was eaten on Nie Yuan's small desk, and he put his notebook on the bed.

As he ate, Nie Yuan said, "It's better to buy a dining table. Eating here...is quite uncomfortable." The desk is too narrow.

So the next day, the two of them went to IKEA to buy a wooden dining table, and then went to Houhai for a stroll. It was October, the most comfortable time in Beijing.

While walking slowly while holding hands, Nie Yuan suddenly asked, "Did we quarrel yesterday?"

Wu Tian shook the hands they were holding: "Xiao Quao is happy."

Nie Yuan smiled, they really lived together, it turned out to be like this, there was sweetness, and quarrels were inevitable.

But it seems to be not bad.

Nie originally wanted to find a job, but his education was flawed, so he could only do those labor-intensive jobs. Wu Tian was reluctant and asked him to improve his writing and try to become a professional writer.

And Wu Tian is preparing for the postgraduate entrance examination next year.

Before the two came to Beijing from Gancheng, Wutian's mother called and wanted to see Nie Yuan.Wu Haidong still refused to accept them, only his mother and Principal Wu had a meal with them.

Nie Yuan hesitated for a long time, but still refused: "I'm afraid that if I see your aunt, I'll mess things up instead."

Wu Tian knew that Nie Yuan never forgave Principal Wu, so he didn't force him, and went to have dinner with his mother and aunt alone.At the dinner table, my mother was crying, but maybe it was because Nie Yuan helped Principal Wu clear his "crimes" at the plenary meeting. She kind of accepted the sign that Wu Tian and Nie Yuan were dating, and gave Wu Tian a card. Tian: "Just take it as my thanks to that child, and you give it to him."

Wu Tian flatly refused: "Mom, he doesn't want it."

My mother sighed: "I'm not thanking him for speaking to your aunt at the meeting, I'm thanking him...for taking care of you." Her eyes were red again: "You don't know anything, and you two will go to Beijing in the future. It must be that others take care of you more."

"I'll take it, I'll take it, you...don't cry," Wu Tian hurriedly put the card on the table into his pocket, and hugged his mother: "Gancheng will take the high-speed train to Beijing in three hours. Come and see me, I am not Wang Zhaojun going to make a marriage."

Hearing what Wu Tian said, my mother laughed: "I think you just got married, the water that your married son poured out..."

Wu Tian: "..."

The two rented a room
