bedtime counseling

The author says:

Because he took his mobile phone on the way back to the car, it was already too late when Wu Ke chased him down, and he watched the subway drive away in front of him.

Sitting on the bench, the passage of time becomes meaningless.When the people around passed by, they always turned their heads to look at this handsome man with a bad complexion, but no one stopped.

Until a certain moment, a pair of very old white sneakers appeared in sight.Wu Ke raised his head, and Liang Ze stood in front of him with a stunned expression.

"Why didn't you leave?" Liang Ze's face was a little pale, he might be catching a cold again, but those eyes were big and energetic.

Wu Ke was silent for a moment, and said, "It's raining heavily, I'll come in to hide from the rain."

Liang Ze pursed his lips tightly.

"Really, then why not hide in the car?"

Wu Ke had nothing to say.

As the two sat and stood, everything around them seemed to have nothing to do with them. Pedestrians passed by, and their world was only for each other.

Liang Ze noticed Wu Ke's shoulder: "This is the air outlet, your clothes are wet, it must be cold sitting here."

Wu Ke said it's okay, it doesn't matter.As if to prove that it was all right, he stood up and immediately grew tall again.

But Liang Ze has something to do.

"Do you have something you want to tell me?" Liang Ze lowered his head, looking at the small piece of ground that was wet by Wu Ke's step, "There is also a signal in the subway, just call me."

Wu Ke's upper body froze for a moment, then turned his face away: "You didn't leave me a phone number."

Liang Ze's lips parted slightly.

There's none?

We have met each other more than once since the reunion, and they don't even know each other's mobile phone number, how absurd.However, it seems that this is the case. They question and complain hoarsely, but they have no chance to ask this most basic question calmly.

Liang Ze took out his old-fashioned mobile phone from his pocket, and found that the surface was a little wet, so he rubbed it on his pants.Wu Ke frowned, turned around and picked up the white box, and handed it over.

"This is……"

"A prize for the company's team building." His voice was neither high nor low.

"Give it to me?" Everything came a bit suddenly, and this brand of mobile phone is not cheap, Liang Ze hesitated to pick it up, "Why don't you keep it for yourself, I can still use it."

Wu Ke was a little irritable: "What can be used can be used."

Wanting to defend himself again, Liang Ze turned on the old phone, but the two broken corners on the screen were not convincing.He really didn't want to have another conflict, so he had no choice but to accept it, but still opened the address book of the old phone: "What's your number? I'll write it down."

"It's in the new phone."

It is inevitable that there will be any mistakes, and the number has been saved in advance.

Liang Ze raised his eyes in surprise, but Wu Ke was looking elsewhere.He had no choice but to hum, "Got it, thank you. If there's anything I can do for you, just ask, whether it's cooking or something else..."

Wu Ke looked at his face, his eyes were much deeper than before.

The air under the subway is really bad, stuffy and humid, but the two of them didn't seem to find anything annoying, and stood there contentedly.The silence at this moment is different from the past, it is particularly intriguing and memorable.

At this time, a pregnant woman occupied the other side of the bench and called her husband to pick it up, but they quarreled for some reason, and sat there sobbing after hanging up the phone.It was inconvenient for them to listen to other people's privacy, so they had to choose to go back to the ground.

Before leaving, Wu Ke left her the umbrella.

The two went up the stairs, Liang Ze asked: "You gave the umbrella to someone else, what should you do?"

"There is a car."

Liang Ze nodded.

He didn't own a car and couldn't drive, so he had a vague idea of ​​things like underground garages.

But when they walked outside the station, both of them were a little dumbfounded——

It was almost torrential rain outside.

Summer is always like this, the weather changes as it says, just like what young people like.Although the distance is less than 50 meters, if you run over rashly, you may be drenched in water.

"It's better to wait here for a while, and then go over after a while." Liang Ze said.

Wu Ke didn't object.

The two moved to the corner and stood side by side behind the raincoat seller.The sound of rain under the eaves was so noisy that it made people feel sleepy, and the raindrops smashed the reflection of the moonlight on the water.

"Liang Ze."

"Ok?"

Liang Ze turned his head and saw his own face under Wu Ke's eyes.

"You help me a busy."

Liang Ze was very surprised, he couldn't help putting away his relaxed state, and asked very seriously: "What's the matter?"

"After I go abroad, you will move in and take care of the house for me."

Liang Ze opened his mouth, suspecting that he heard it wrong, "What..."

"Don't answer me right away, it's never too late to think about it."

It doesn't sound difficult to help Wu Ke look after the house.But Liang Ze didn't understand, is it really necessary?Those who have to go out for a long time, who didn't cut off the power supply, locked the doors and windows and left, and who would specially find someone to look after the house?

But Wu Ke seemed serious.

He said: "The house was bought in full, and there is no loan to repay. I will not come back if there is nothing to do in the past two years. You can live in it with peace of mind, and you don't have to worry about who will chase you away."

"That was not what I meant."

"If you need a car, I can leave it to you."

"No no!" Liang Ze hastily denied, "I don't even have a driver's license, no, I mean... I mean I have a place to live, and our store provides board and lodging."

There is a vague feeling in my heart that Wu Ke's behavior is somewhere between pity and help, like taking in stray animals, or giving an umbrella to the pregnant woman just now.

"How do you live in that dormitory?" Wu Ke frowned.

Liang Ze looked at him suspiciously: "How do you know what my dormitory looks like?"

Wu Ke was dumb for a moment: "I want to know."

Liang Ze's self-esteem was a little hurt, and he didn't continue to delve into the doubtful point just now, "Actually, it's not as bad as you imagined, everyone can live here, besides, the place where I used to live in my hometown was not very good."

Wu Ke ignored his weak objection: "You answer me after you think about it carefully, I will leave next month."

Ok.

One day counts as one day.

The biggest annoyance right now is that it rains endlessly, and there is no tendency to get smaller at all.Gradually, Liang Ze's legs became sore. He bent down and punched him a few times, and stretched out his hand to catch the rain. In two seconds, his palm was full of water.

"I won't have to stand until midnight." The tone was an expectation that even he didn't expect, Liang Ze's face was slightly hot.

"busy?"

"No." He shook his head, "I'm just a little sleepy."

Wu Ke glanced at the weather forecast on his phone, "It's still going to be three hours. Is your home far from the intersection?"

"Not close." Liang Ze smiled at him distressedly, "It's okay, you don't have to send me in, it's not easy to turn around there, just put me on the side of the road."

Old houses are usually some distance away from the main road.

"Go to my house." Wu Ke whispered.

The smile froze on his face, Liang Ze's eyes trembled: "Your home?"

Wu Ke folded his hands in his trousers, and looked away: "If you don't want to, forget it."

It's not that I don't want to, it's that I was surprised.To be precise, too many unexpected things happened tonight, such as the two of them being able to talk so much together peacefully.

Liang Ze's heart was swollen with heat, his head became dizzy, and he said in a daze, "Okay, then please take me in for a night."

Maybe this is not a good idea, but as soon as the decision was made, the two immediately didn't care how heavy the rain was, and rushed into the rain screen side by side.For a moment, it seemed to return to the old days, the school uniform covered the top of the head to hide from the rain, the trouser legs were splashed with mud, but there was a smile on the face.

"Ake, wait for me! What are you doing so fast?"

"The end is waiting for you."

No matter how many times I ran side by side, I didn't seem to worry about who was one step behind, because the one who ran in front would always wait for the one behind, and would continue to move forward when it was done.

Such days have now become a luxury.

The two got into the car, their hair was wet and water was dripping from the tips of their hair.Wu Ke immediately turned on the air conditioner, and the hot wind made the car warm, and the air was covered with mist.

After only driving for a kilometer or two, a fine layer of water vapor condensed on the windshield.Wu Ke asked Liang Ze to wipe it. Liang Ze breathed on the glass, and the glass creaked as his forearm wiped it.

"Sit down." Seeing him half standing upright, Wu Ke said immediately.

Liang Ze nodded, and sat back obediently.

Before I got back to the community, my hair and clothes were all dry.

Wu Ke drove the car into the basement and stopped at a place after a half-circle. When he got off the car, he said to Liang Ze: "This is my parking space, please remember it clearly."

Liang Ze responded with a vague understanding, but he didn't understand why he needed to remember clearly.

The elevator in the basement leads directly to the door of the house.Liang Ze didn't forget to turn his back before opening the door, he didn't turn around until it opened.

"come in."

Liang Ze didn't move.

Wu Ke looked back at him, and he said, "My shoes are dirty."

"The slippers are in the shoe cabinet, take them yourself."

I didn't change my shoes when I came last time, but I have to change this time. This time, I am a guest, a guest invited by the host.Liang Ze pulled his bangs twice, squatted down and opened the door of the shoe cabinet, and found that there was indeed a pair of slippers inside.It's the same style as the pair on Wu Ke's feet, but the color and size are different, like couple shoes.

Liang Ze's heart skipped a beat, feeling a little strange.

After entering, he put his backpack on the floor of the entrance, and the first thing he did was to wash his hands before touching other things in the house.

"Go and change your clothes too." Wu Ke changed into his pajamas and came out, more at home than during the day, and his pants were very smooth.

Liang Ze hummed, and opened the door without saying a word.

There are two bedrooms in total. This one should be the master bedroom. It is very simple in both decoration and display.There were folded pajamas and trousers by the bed, which should be for him.

Liang Ze changed, it's grown up.The jacket was barely there, and the trousers dragged directly to the ground.

"Ake—"

Wu Ke seemed to be right outside the door, "What's wrong."

"Are there any shorter pants? This pair is too long."

Wu Ke knocked on the door twice before coming in.

Liang Ze lowered his head and showed, "Look."

It is long.

But Wu Ke didn't seem interested.He opened the bottom two drawers of the closet, first took out a pair of beach shorts, and then found a pair of pure white underwear.

"It's new?" Liang Ze wanted to behave normally.

"What do you say?"

Given Wu Ke's distaste for intimacy, it is of course impossible to wear old clothes for him.Liang Ze immediately felt a little embarrassed, as if he deliberately asked more questions, but instead appeared to have ulterior motives.

In the middle of the night, it was raining and cloudy outside.

"I'll take a shower first, you can do it yourself."

"Ok."

During this time, Liang Ze went to the kitchen to boil a pot of hot water with Wu Ke's consent.

The kitchen in front of him was the biggest and useless kitchen he had ever seen, empty and clean.He found two very new cups from under the sink, washed them and scalded them with hot water before pouring the drinking water into them.

Back in the living room, Wu Ke had finished washing and was standing in front of the TV wiping his hair.His shoulders are broad, but his back is as thin as a book. His right hand holding the towel is lifted up, and the pajamas are lifted up, revealing a thin waistline covered with a layer of muscle.

Liang Ze silently looked away.

Wu Ke raised his eyes and noticed him: "Go and wash."

"Okay, remember to drink the hot water here."

I don't know if I heard it or not, but Wu Ke didn't react too much.Liang Ze walked into the bathroom, stared at the room in front of him that was more than twice the size of the room he slept in, and was dazed for a while, then took off his clothes and stood in the shower.

Dark black matte tiles, a huge shiny metal shower, and Wu Ke's shampoo, shower gel, and razor.These things are quietly placed there, but they have a great sense of presence, and they feel like some kind of violation when touched.

Liang Ze turned on the hot water, picked up a bottle and said softly, "Borrow it."

Speaking to the air.

Taking a shower in the dormitory is always like fighting a war. If you take a little longer, the hot water will be used up. It is wishful thinking to want to take a longer shower.Tonight, finally, no one robbed him. The warm water flowed over the skin without any rush, and it felt very comfortable, and because it was Wu Ke's home, it was more comfortable than other places.

I forgot the time while washing, until Wu Ke came and knocked on the door: "Can't you find the towel?"

He turned off the water and raised his face blushingly: "...Yes."

"In the cupboard above the sink."

Only then did he hastily wipe off his body, put on a size larger white underwear, and walked to the mirror.The cabinet was installed according to Wu Ke's height, so he had to stand on tiptoe and raise his chin to check.

Sure enough, there were towels in it, but there were more than just towels.

From the time he entered the door until now, Liang Ze always felt something strange, but now he finally discovered the crux of the problem.Wu Ke is a single aristocrat, and there is a set of toothbrushes and mouthwash cups of the same color in the cabinet, which are just like slippers for couples.

Not daring to touch anything, he changed his clothes and went out without saying a word.Wu Ke was sitting in the living room working, the ashtray was clean, and a black laptop was placed on the coffee table.

He raised his head and glanced at Liang Ze: "Blow dry your hair."

It's still raining outside.

Liang Ze walked over and asked nonchalantly, "Are you working overtime?"

"Well, there's something wrong." Wu Ke stared at the screen, "If you're sleepy, rest first, and you can sleep directly in the guest bedroom."

Liang Ze nodded slightly, looked at the glass on the tea table, and said, "Why didn't you drink the water, it's cold, I'll go get a new glass."

When he walked away with the cup, Wu Ke glanced at his back, his eyes darkened a little.When I came back, the laptop was closed.

Liang Ze was taken aback: "Is it finished?"

"Do you have something to ask me?" Wu Ke felt very keen.

"No." Liang Ze put down the cup and rubbed his red fingertips.

"Say something."

His head was hanging down, bangs were naturally above his eyes, "It's nothing."

That's what there is.

"Have you got a girlfriend yet?"

Until he asked this sentence, Liang Ze felt that he was baffled.But he did have some doubts, and he would always feel uneasy if he didn't ask clearly.

Wu Ke frowned: "Why do you ask that?"

"I see someone else's toothbrush in the bathroom."

As soon as he finished speaking, Wu Ke's expression became dark, as if Liang Ze had made a mistake in something important again, and he was very unforgivably guilty, which made him very dissatisfied.He pushed the laptop away and stood up, and threw the dirty clothes into the washing machine again, without answering the question for a long while.

Liang Ze was like a man on his back.The moment he passed by, he called out a little at a loss: "Ake."

Wu Ke stamped his foot.

"how about you?"

"Me what?" Liang Ze was at a loss.

"You said this afternoon that you were not single."

Because it was a casual sentence, even he himself didn't remember much, and he explained after a while: "I said it casually. At that time, I just felt that one more thing is worse than one less thing. About me...you know everything, how could I What kind of girlfriend are you looking for?"

"Where's the boyfriend?"

"That's even more impossible." He said firmly.

Wu Ke's face softened a little, but he still turned to him sideways: "If there is anything impossible, just hand it over."

Speaking of stinging, Liang Ze is not Wu Ke's opponent at all.He froze, his face paled a lot.Wu Ke felt that he had been poked in a sore spot by himself, so he turned around and left.

The arm was pulled by someone.

Wu Ke looked down and said, "Let go."

Liang Ze used a begging tone: "Ake..."

"So who is that person?" Wu Ke stared at him, with a slightly mocking tone, "Who is so sure, the third year of high school is still working on two things."

The living room was so quiet.

Liang Ze's face turned red and then turned pale. He wanted to refute but didn't really speak. After a long while, he uttered a sentence with difficulty:

"I do not want to say."
