Wintering

Chen Yue was awakened by a crisp bird call.

As soon as I opened my eyes, the twilight morning light came in through the undrawn curtains, outlining the lush shadows of the trees.

Haixi City is a high-end community, and the greening is well done.Two kapok trees are symmetrically planted in front of each unit building.There are a few sporadic early birds jumping among the tall and beautiful branches and leaves, chirping and singing.

Chen Yue remembered that there was such a tall banyan tree in front of the building where he lived with Mo Dong when he was a child.When he was a child, he would run with his father in the morning around the big tree.

Father Chen served in the army earlier, lived a regular life, and paid special attention to physical exercise. Under his influence, Chen Yue also developed the habit of running in the morning.

When I was abroad, I also had a few regular running friends, and these years have not been interrupted.After returning to China, he didn't run much, and after living with Mo Dong, he didn't control his diet much, so his abdominal muscles tended to disappear.

Chen Yue planned to run downstairs for a few laps. After washing quickly, he quietly walked through the living room, ready to change his shoes.

Suddenly, Mo Dong's voice came from behind.

"Where are you going?"

He turned his head and saw Mo Dong's half-opened sleepy eyes, with a few hairs sticking up on his head, obviously just woke up, looking at him in gray pajamas.

"Run," Chen Yue lifted the sneakers and shook them, "Are you going too?"

Originally, he didn't intend to wake up Mo Dong. In his impression, Mo Dong was not a person who liked sports. He had never participated in any sports meeting held in school.

But unexpectedly, when he mentioned it casually, Mo Dong nodded and turned to enter the bedroom.

Chen Yue was a little surprised.

When Mo Dong came out, he was wearing a set of gray summer sportswear.

Chen Yue put the key in his pocket, turned around and opened the door.

"Wait." Mo Dong said suddenly, walked into the kitchen, and came out with a garbage bag in his hand, "Let's go."

As soon as Chen Yue saw the garbage bag, he suddenly remembered that it was his turn to clean up this week, and he forgot about it when he was busy with work.He looked embarrassed, "I seem to have forgotten to clean up again."

It's embarrassing to say, but Mo Dong helped him do it last week.

Mo Dong didn't care much: "Oh." After a pause, he finally realized, and immediately said, "It doesn't matter."

Chen Yue suddenly had a bad idea, and pretended to complain: "You too, why don't you remind me, it's all your fault!"

It was the first time Mo Dong heard Chen Yue speak to him in such a blunt tone. He thought he was really angry, and immediately became flustered. It was a smile, and he immediately realized that he was teasing him.

He didn't know how to react, so he answered in a muffled voice: "Oh." Without waiting for Chen Yue to catch up, he walked downstairs quickly.

Chen Yue looked at him in a panic and was a little strange, but also a little funny, and a little cute.

It rained last night, the ground is still wet this morning, and there is a slight chill in the air.The sky in the distance has been evenly painted with a blue-white background, clean and clear.

There is a lakeside park in Haixi City. In the park, there are many people who come out for morning exercise. Most of them are elderly people, wearing loose clothes, in twos and threes.Mo Dong and Chen Yue ran around the lake.

The water vapor by the lake was heavy, and a faint white mist formed nearby, like the color of mixing half a glass of water with half a glass of milk.

Knowing that Mo Dong's physical fitness was not good, Chen Yue deliberately slowed down his pace.But someone's physical fitness is really bad, and the speed of 5 kilometers per hour is still very difficult.

The sound of Mo Dong panting next to him reminded Chen Yue of the puffing sound of the Arabian foal he raised after training.

cute.He thought of the word again.

"Are you tired?" He turned his head and asked Mo Dong, "Do you want to take a rest?"

Mo Dong was concentrating on running with his head down, he didn't have the energy to speak, but just shook his head to show that he was okay.

Chen Yue slowed down again and again, and gradually ran behind Mo Dong.

Mechanical repetitive movements always distract people involuntarily, surrounded by monotonous scenery, Chen Yue looked at it for a while, felt a little bored, and inadvertently shifted his gaze to the person in front of him.

Mo Dong was very thin, with no muscles on his body. When he started running, the triceps muscles in his calf were not obvious, and they were extraordinarily slender and well-proportioned. His smooth skin was so white that it almost blended into one body against the background of the sky.

The slightly loose gray sports short sleeves swayed with his steps, and there were a little sweat stains on them.

Mo Dong's hair seemed to be cut short. Under the clean and well-tailored hair tail was a section of snow-white soft nape. The fluffy hair on it made Chen Yue somehow feel an urge to touch it.

After the two of them ran around the lake four times, the sky had already started to turn red, and the sunlight at the breaking cloud diffused orange-red light, casting dark yellow shadows on the ground.

Chen Yue felt that Mo Dong's pace had obviously slowed down, so he stopped, "Let's run here first."

Mo Dong was panting with his knees bent, when he heard the words, he looked up at him, his cheekbones were bright red, and his sweat-soaked hair was frizzy and dripping down.

"How, is it okay?" Chen Yue was a little worried, and helped him by the shoulder.

Mo Dong shook his head, quickly recovered, and left his touch calmly.

The summer morning wind carried a little bit of coolness, taking away the excessive heat emitted during running.

The two walked side by side by the lake, and their overlapping reflections were clearly reflected on the water.

"Is your work going well recently?" Chen Yue hadn't been so relaxed for a long time, chatting with the people next to him casually.

"En." Mo Dong replied, and then asked, "What about you?"

Chen Yue sighed heavily, and began to complain in front of Mo Dong, vomiting bitterness, saying that he was like a brick where he needed to be moved, that the customer was so weird and unreasonable, and so on.

Such a bitter and bitter look made Mo Dong think that his next sentence was "I quit". Who would have thought that when he talked about the little guys in the store, the corners of his mouth immediately raised again, saying that a certain dog How cute and sensible, and how arrogant and mischievous a certain cat is, as if willing to be a bully.

Mo Dong listened quietly to the side, answering once or twice from time to time, the man's brows and eyes full of spirits could be seen in his peripheral vision.
