In front of the North Gate

"Shi Jichang?"

Winter in Pingcheng is coming again. The daytime is fine, but when the sun goes down, the temperature drops quickly.Lou Huaiyu only wore a light coat when he went to the theater in the morning, so he was blown all the way by the night wind, and the door was still shaking when he entered.

Lou Huaiyu took off his leather shoes, changed into cotton slippers, and called in again: "Shi Jichang? Are you at home!"

After a few seconds, Shi Jichang protracted his voice with a nasal voice: "Are you back?"

Before he could finish speaking, he was stunned by the overhead light in the room Lou Huaiyu had opened.

With the familiar weight on his body, Lou Huaiyu held him down through the quilt, grabbed his face and scolded: "You are too embarrassed, you slept at home all day, and you didn't cook for me?"

After the founding of the People's Republic of China, Shi Jichang carried a lot of meritorious service, but did not enter politics. He took a small house, picked up his books, and finally passed the university entrance examination, and later stayed in school to become a teacher.

He works as a history teacher, he doesn't have many classes, and he stays at home for two days to grow flowers.

Lou Huaiyu, on the other hand, went to the Provincial Drama Theater as a director, and was much busier.

When Shi Jichang got used to the light, he looked at Lou Huaiyu and smiled: "What's the matter? Didn't you say you won't eat dinner yesterday?"

He was talking about what happened in the middle of the night last night.

After the two of them got older, they did a lot less of that kind of thing.Occasionally, they just solve it with each other's hands.

It was rare that the two of them were free last night, they leaned together and chatted for a while, the atmosphere was just right, and they kissed together after turning off the lights.

Lou Huaiyu's skin and flesh are still very tender, and she can't feel her age at all.Shi Jichang was already very familiar with his body, and Lou Huaiyu's whole body softened when he touched several of the deadliest places.

"Are you going in today?" He asked after panting for a while.

Shi Jichang asked him: "Can you do it? Is there a job tomorrow?"

Lou Huaiyu ignored him, and said at this time that work would be too unpleasant.He went to the bedside table to get the lubricating cream, and felt out the right amount.

The two have been cooperating on this matter for decades, and they have already matched very well.Shi Jichang understood what he meant and came over to help.

Maybe it's been too long, the two of them were very emotional, and the old man became impatient, opening up and kissing each other inseparably.

For a moment, there was only the sound of body fluid intertwining in the room.

Lou Huaiyu felt that the back was almost done, so he supported Shi Jichang to sit up slowly, straddled his legs beside Shi Jichang, and slowly sat down while supporting his waist.

Lou Huaiyu sat slowly, and Shi Jichang didn't know why he was so crazy at his age, so he deliberately pushed up.

Lou Huaiyu couldn't bear it and let out a short cry.Because they hadn't done it for a long time, they applied a lot of ointment today, and their backs were already slippery, but Lou Huaiyu's waist softened again, and he couldn't support himself for a while, so he sat down straight with Shi Jichang's thing in between.

This time, when Ji Chang yelled, it wasn't because it was too cool, but because Lou Huaiyu had gained a lot of weight, so it was no wonder he didn't yell.

Shi Jichang almost softened, but he really thought it was funny, he squeezed the flesh on Lou Huaiyu's waist and smiled: "I was almost crushed by you."

Lou Huaiyu blushed angrily and tried to hit him.

But Shi Jichang was very cunning, he moved quickly after he finished speaking what he wanted to say, and the words that made Lou Huaiyu resist became a mess, gasping for breath, and turned into meaningless moans.

Shi Jichang still moved and pinched his flesh, making Lou Huaiyu itchy and angry and unable to avoid it.

Afterwards, the two lay together panting, Lou Huaiyu finally had a chance to speak, but he didn't bother to speak, and just hit Shi Jichang a few times without pain.

"I'm just kidding you." Shi Jichang still pinched him, "It's good to be fatter."

"I don't want it," Lou Huaiyu said angrily, "I don't want to eat tomorrow."

Lou Huaiyu blushed unconsciously when he remembered what happened last night, and slapped Shi Jichang across the quilt.

Shi Jichang was still laughing, he pulled his hand out from under the quilt, and precisely pinched the soft flesh in Lou Huaiyu's waist, causing Lou Huaiyu to jump down with a scream.

Shi Jichang put his hand on Lou Huaiyu's shoulder, and felt that he was a little cold, so he pulled the quilt over the two of them.

"Do you still eat?" Shi Jichang asked him.

Lou Huaiyu couldn't move anymore, snorted, and instead of answering, asked: "Did you sleep at home all day today?"

Shi Jichang didn't say yes or no, he turned to his side and held Lou Huaiyu in his arms.

He leaned on Lou Huaiyu's shoulder and rubbed his face against his shoulder blades. You could see that the back of Lou Huaiyu's neck was still very white and tender.But there are already a few white hairs scattered on it.

"I've really gained a lot of weight." Lou Huaiyu said in a muffled voice, "I went to the theater today and saw a new batch of children, all of whom were thin and soft. I felt old and fat."

"Hey," he sighed, "but I'm really hungry if I don't eat."

Shi Jichang couldn't help laughing, shaking on his shoulder.

Lou Huaiyu was tickled by him, and hid away, inexplicably: "What are you laughing at? Do you dislike me for being fat?"

Shi Jichang said: "It's because you are cute."

He got out of the quilt and gave Lou Huaiyu a tug: "Get up too, go to Zhou Liang's house to eat today, it's his birthday."

Lou Huaiyu's eyes widened.

"Ah." He said, and then said in disgust, "Why is it his birthday again?"

Shi Jichang lifted the quilt and put on his clothes: "It is said that people celebrate their birthdays every day."

Lou Huaiyu pouted: "That's right, I feel like I went to his last birthday just yesterday."

"It feels like the older you get, the faster time passes." Lou Huaiyu sighed, remembering a sentence he read in a book last time, and told Shi Jichang, "Getting old is always faster than growing up." .”

The fight made Lou Huaiyu's bangs messy and covering his head.

In fact, his face is very small, and because it is indeed rounder recently, it looks younger. If you look at it from a distance, you can't tell Lou Huaiyu's age at all.

It's just that when Shi Jichang got close, he could still see the wrinkles in the corners of his eyes, not deep, but not too many.

"Yes." Shi Jichang used some strength to pull Lou Huaiyu to sit up, and lowered his head to look at him, "We are all middle-aged men who are almost 50 years old."

"Lou Huaiyu," he said with a smile before Lou Huaiyu could talk back, "thank you for growing old with me."

Lou Huaiyu was stunned for a moment, forgot what he wanted to say, and only choked out a sentence: "Yeah, no need to thank you..." Then he quickly stood up and changed into thick clothes.

The wardrobe is also old, it has been used for many years, and there is a creaking sound when the door is opened, because mothballs are placed there all the year round, and with Lou Huaiyu's movements, there is a not-so-pleasant but familiar and reassuring smell.

In the closet, Shi Jichang's clothes are always placed on the left, and Lou Huaiyu's clothes are placed on the right.

It wasn't that they didn't experience criticism when they first got together.

It was better during times of war. Everyone couldn't eat enough to eat, and they didn't have the energy to meddle in their business.

But after they settled down, the two of them lived together and always went in and out of each other. After a long time, it was equivalent to silently announcing their relationship.

Shi Jichang still remembers a time when Lou Huaiyu's clothes got wet in the theater troupe, and he couldn't change the costume for a while, and he couldn't drive, so he happened to call an old woman who lived nearby and was going to the theater to pick it up. .

The old lady was quite familiar with them, and she was at a loss for a while when she faced the wardrobe full of men's clothing.

Shi Jichang was about to go out for class, so he hurried over to get one for her.

The old lady hesitated to speak: "Two big men... Hey, I can't tell the difference between the wardrobes. How can this be... how long?"

Shi Jichang pretended not to hear it.

He thought, what does the distribution of clothes have to do with whether they can last for a long time?

And whoever said they couldn't tell the difference, Lou Huaiyu precisely picked up a piece of Shi Jichang's clothes and threw it to him, saying: "Why are you standing there, change clothes and go eat."

Shi Jichang didn't pierce his blushing face, he obediently said yes, and put it on.

People are always going to get old, but fortunately, if you grow old with someone you love like that, then getting old has another romantic name, called longevity.
