Wintering

The gray dead leaves and pine branches were half-buried in the snow, showing a bleak color under the rendering of the silent sunset light.

Mo Dong's face was pressed against Chen Yue's down jacket, and his thick shoulders were stalwart and powerful. Even through a layer of jacket, the hot temperature inside still spread to the skin of his cheeks. He could feel the warmth of Chen Yue's chest when he spoke. The resonance brought about is like the rustling sound of the ancient forest disturbed by the wind.

With his back on his back, Chen Yue looked down at the road under his feet.

"Sometimes I feel..." He stopped and turned Mo Dong's body upwards, "You seem to be covered in a glass shell, you can't hear my voice, and I can't hear yours. We are clearly standing so close, but it seems that we are far apart."

"Mo Dong..."

Chen Yue tilted his head, turned his back to the sun, and Mo Dong could only see the tall outline of his nose.

"I care more than you think, you, your health, your happiness."

"In the past three years, I have often had many nightmares about you."

"Sometimes I'm standing on the street with people coming and going, and a single figure becomes a colorful and blurred block. I see you passing by me with an expressionless face. No matter how I call you, you don't pay attention to me. In the end I can only watch you disappear into those illusory crowds."

"This, actually, isn't really a nightmare. I often think that if Mo Dong can spend his life safely and happily in a certain corner of the world, even if I don't have any intersection with him in this life, I will Happy for him too."

"No, how could I be happy. When I think about the joys, sorrows and joys of the rest of your life, all the experiences will have nothing to do with me, I, I feel that I..."

Mo Dong waited silently, but Chen Yue didn't finish his sentence, but mentioned the dream he had a month ago.

"You lie on the white bed, blood trickles from your drooping fingertips onto the floor."

Chen Yue still remembers that terrible scene very clearly.

In his room, he saw a strange red water trail crawling through the crack of the door. It seemed to be alive, and it moved on the ground until it stopped at the foot of his bed.

He held his breath and walked along the water trail until he came to the door of Mo Dong's room. His trembling palms could hardly hold the handle on the door. He pushed the door open little by little, and the water trail disappeared on the ground where Mo Dong fell. On the tip of the right index finger.

Those red liquids are Mo Dong's blood.

His eyes moved upwards along the pale hand, and he saw Mo Dong.

To be precise, it was Mo Dong's corpse.Very thin, very thin, all the blood has flowed out of his body, and his skin is almost pale.

Like an empty glass.

Her hair was wet, as if someone had just pulled it out of the water.

His pupils shrank suddenly, and he woke up suddenly.

Immediately after waking up, he jumped out of bed, ran barefoot to the next room, slammed on the door vigorously, and shouted heartbreakingly:

"Mo Dong! Open the door!! Open the door! Mo Dong!"

But nothing happened.

He anxiously tried to twist the handle, but the door opened all of a sudden.

"Mo Dong!..." The voice suddenly disappeared.

The room was empty, there was only a mattress covered with a dust cover on the bed, a faint beam of light came in from the window, and the dust was flying.

Only then did he fully wake up.

Mo Dong has moved away.

That dream has been tormenting him, and he really can't control his cranky thoughts.

He stayed at the coffee shop in City C on weekends. When he didn’t see Mo Dong, he felt very uneasy. He wished he could cut a hole in Mo Dong’s white curtains with scissors. He wanted to see what Mo Dong was doing. It's not sleeping, it's still working, whether it's alive or not.

If Mo Dong didn't come out for a whole day, he would immediately think whether Mo Dong fell ill and fainted at home alone, or did something stupid again.

This idea has been tormenting him, he couldn't help putting on his hat and mask several times, walked to the door of Mo Dong's house, and rang the doorbell desperately.

When he saw the door open, he immediately hid in the shadow of the corner, and saw that the person who came out was Mo Dong, and the heart that was hanging high finally fell to the ground.

In the end, he couldn't stand such a life of fear, and took advantage of the opportunity of work to get along with Mo Dong again. This time, no matter what Mo Dong said, he would not leave. He would stick to him and see that he was safe and healthy every day. .

If when we meet again, Mo Dong has already forgotten himself and really doesn't like him anymore, then he will be an ordinary friend in a law-abiding manner.

However, when he saw that Mo Dong still kept the white sweater that he had three years ago, he was truly ecstatic.

I have a bold guess in my heart.

Maybe Mo Dong still likes him.

This idea kept urging him and encouraging him.

So these days, they are trying to reintegrate into Mo Dong's life, and slowly find a suitable distance to bring the relationship between the two closer.

He didn't want to go back to the past relationship with Mo Dong that seemed to be perfect but cracks had already appeared in reality.

He wanted to lift the barrier between the two of them and let each other see each other nakedly and honestly.

"Mo Dong, I'm not afraid to tell you frankly that I will never let you go this time. You don't have to question my purpose. I'm just afraid that you will disappear in my world one day. I just can't let you go. I just want to to be with you."

"You obviously like me too, why do you always run away?"

Zhizhi was led by Abbey and walked in front. Hearing fierce voices from behind, as if arguing, she was a little scared and pulled Abbey's hand down.

"Are they arguing?"

Abbey glanced back, shook his head, didn't say anything, his pace quickened, and the distance between him and the two people behind him grew even further.

When Jiang Xia and the others returned home, Zhizhi still poked his head out of the window to look out. The sky darkened, and the snow in front of the door changed from lemon yellow to blue-gray, but they didn't see the shadows of Chen Yue.

"Why haven't Brother Chen and Brother Dong come back yet? Why did Brother Chen scold Brother Dong so loudly just now?"

Jiang Xia crossed her legs beside Abbey, "Brother Chen didn't scold Brother Dong, but he was too excited to speak louder."

"Why does brother Chen look so sad?"

"Why doesn't brother Dong keep talking?"

"Will Brother Chen scold me when he comes back?"

What else did Zhizhi want to ask, but Jiang Xia, who was repeatedly interrupted by Zhizhi to talk to Abbey, finally became impatient, "Why do children care so much about adults' affairs!? Go and play with your toys."

Zhizhi pursed his lips and went back to his room, followed by Cookie.Zhizhi knew that he had caused trouble just now, and he also knew that Brother Dong was injured because of himself. He bit his fist and struggled for a long time, and decided to write a letter of apology to Brother Dong, because in the cartoon, the kitten broke the vase and it was like this with his mother. Apologetic.

She is only in the second grade, and she can't write many characters, so she has to use pinyin and drawing pictures to refer to.After finally finishing writing, she went out of the room to take a look. Auntie and Sister Bei were playing and kissing in the living room, but Brother Chen and the others hadn't come back yet.

She took the letter of apology and went upstairs.

Hmm... so many rooms, which one does Brother Dong live in?

She opened the doors one by one, only to find that there were suitcases in two rooms.

ah!She saw the little shark she gave Brother Dong!

Zhi Zhi successfully found Mo Dong's room, put the letter on the bedside table, and was about to leave when someone came upstairs.

Brother Chen is back!

If he sees it, he will be scolded, woooo X﹏X.

Zhizhi looked left and right, and there were only the bottom of the bed and the closet to hide in the whole room. She was a bit fat and couldn't get in, so she had to hide in the closet.

Just after hiding, I heard someone's footsteps coming in, getting closer.

Jiang Zhizhi tried her best to shrink herself into the corner of the closet, not daring to take a breath.

Can't see can't see...

As the footsteps of the visitor approached, she heard the rustling of the cloth.

"Squeak—" It seemed to be the sound of the mattress sinking.

"Sit down, don't move! I'll give you medicine." It was Brother Chen's voice, fierce.

"Huh..." It seemed to be Brother Dong's voice, and it sounded a little painful.

"It's yours!" Brother Chen is so scary...

Then nothing happened.

Zhizhi put his ear against the wooden door of the wardrobe, but he still couldn't hear anything.

The wardrobe door was not closed tightly, revealing a small light gap.

She couldn't help but look over curiously——

Brother Chen squatted on the ground, holding a small white fish as if in his hand, and painted something on it with the other hand.

???

She rubbed her eyes and looked carefully again. It turned out that it was not the little white fish, but Brother Dong's foot.

Brother Dong frowned, looking very sad.

It's all her fault, woo woo woo.

Next time I will never touch Xiaolu's ass again!

She bit her finger and continued watching.

After a while, Brother Chen stood up and sat next to Brother Dong. Brother Dong seemed reluctant, and hid aside for a while.

Then Brother Chen hugged Brother Dong all at once! ! !

Chi Chi opened his eyes wide.

"You let me go."

"Mo Dong..." Why did Brother Chen's voice suddenly become whiny?

The word diaper was learned by Zhizhi from his aunt.Whenever she wants to eat gummy bears, she begs Abbey, and Auntie will say to her: "Zhizhi, don't talk to your sister Abbey in such a whiny tone!"

Um, Brother Chen is also using this tone now, so is he asking Brother Dong for candy?

Hey, brother Dong is not moving.

"Mo Dong, let's do it again, okay? What did I do wrong, tell me, and I'll change it right away."

"Let's not torture each other anymore."

……

Brother Chen kept saying things that she didn't quite understand, but Brother Dong didn't seem to respond, but let him hug him quietly.

!!!

Brother Chen kissed Brother Dong!They also play this game!

Just like my aunt, there will always be some strange water sounds when playing games.

Eh?Brother Chen pushed Brother Dong down.Wouldn't such a big man crushing Brother Dong crush him?He looks so heavy.

Wait, she's seeing something wrong.

Why was Brother Chen so fierce when he was with his family!Like a big monster!I want to swallow brother Dong into my stomach! ! !

She was immediately frightened and pushed open the closet door.

With a creaking sound, the two adults were startled and looked towards the source of the sound at the same time.

"Squeak!?"
