Difficult round

Gu Yan had been to Shen Qi's new apartment before, and he still remembered the name, building number, and floor number of the apartment. After hanging up Tang Yan's phone call, he went straight to find it.

Because he was scared by Tang Yan's unreliability, and worried that what the other party did to this matter today, he tried to call Shen Qi three times along the way, but he didn't get through without exception. in half.

As for the other half.Gu Yan drove the car downstairs to the apartment building, parked it, and looked up at the nineteenth floor where Shen Qi was - if this was a prank, then he would block Tang Yan and Shen Qi together.From then on, I never believed a word they said.

The security of the apartment is pretty good. You have to swipe your card to enter the corridor. Gu Yan is not a resident here, so of course he couldn't find the card. He stood at the door and waited for about ten minutes before following an old lady who came back from shopping in a supermarket. Going in, the old lady turned her head and looked at him frequently.

Seeing that Gu Yan felt uncomfortable, he pursed his lips and smiled at the other party.The old lady was frightened by his smile, her expression changed, she quickened her pace and got into the elevator, before Gu Yan could catch up, she frantically pressed the door close button desperately, apparently trying to get rid of him.

Gu Yan: "..." Do I look so scary?

But the old lady really worried too much, she had to swipe her card to take the elevator, Gu Yan who couldn't swipe her card could only find the emergency fire exit and climb up to the [-]th floor on two legs.

On the way, he tried to call Shen Qi again. To his surprise, it was no longer the emotionless female voice of the system who responded to him this time.

It's just that no one answered.

After dozens of seconds, the phone was automatically hung up, Gu Yan frowned, and was hesitating whether to call again, when the phone rang suddenly, and the string of numbers he just dialed was displayed on the screen .

"Hello, cough... Gu Yan?" The voice on the phone sounded very hoarse, with a bit of hesitation in his tone, as if he couldn't believe that Gu Yan would take the initiative to call him.

Gu Yan frowned, and asked straight to the point: "Where are you?"

The other end of the phone paused for a moment before saying, "I, cough, cough, I'm at home..."

Tired all day and climbing the 19th floor hungry, but someone told him that he was actually staying at home. Gu Yan felt as if he was about to lose his temper.

——Why don’t you answer the phone or reply to the message at home?Play what is missing?What tricks are you playing again?

When it came to his mouth, there was only one sentence left: "Open the door."

This time the other end of the phone paused even longer, there was no movement for a full or two minutes, the fire in Gu Yan's heart was about to be overwhelmed, just when he was impatient and wanted to urge him, a ping bell came from inside There was a bang, followed by the muffled sound of heavy objects falling to the ground.

About half a minute later, the door was knocked open with a bang: "Gu Yan!"

And Gu Yan also climbed up to the 19th floor at this time, and was holding on to the handrail to step up the last two steps. One of the two looked down, and the other looked up. The two gazes intertwined in mid-air. The mobile phone was still attached to his ear, and the sound of breathing on the phone and out of the phone exploded in his ears at the same time, heavy and rapid.

But it was more than that, his own breathing was also heavy and short-climbing the 19th floor was not in vain.

"Gu Yan," Shen Qi called his name again, and then asked cautiously with some surprise, "Why, how did you come here?"

His face was sickly, pale and haggard, with a deep bluish black under his eyes.

What he was wearing was a set of blue-gray pajamas, which Gu Yan bought last spring. He also had such a set in his closet at home. The black ones were couple pajamas of the same style and different colors.

Probably because he came out in such a hurry that he didn't have time to tidy up his clothes. The top three buttons were unbuttoned, revealing a large part of his chest, half of his hem was exposed, and half was tucked into his trousers. I haven't seen him for a few days so thin that he was about to take off his appearance. The clothes that fit and look good on him became baggy and couldn't support him at all.

From the inside to the outside, the whole person was disheartened and embarrassed, only the eyes that looked at Gu Yan had joy leaking out.

Gu Yan stepped on the last step firmly, stood up straight, and said without emotion: "Tang Yan can't get through to your phone, let me come and have a look."

Shen Qi's eyes flickered, as if he was a little disappointed because of this answer, but he quickly covered up his disappointment, lowered his eyes and explained in a low voice:

"Well...the phone is out of battery, and it was just recharged. I'm sorry for worrying you."

After speaking, he quickly glanced at Gu Yan, and asked tentatively, "Would you like to come in for a glass of water?"

As if he was afraid of being rejected, he stepped aside while speaking, bent down and found a pair of new slippers from the shoe cabinet, unpacked them in a hurry, and handed them to Gu Yan.

Gu Yan wanted to say no.He has already met the person and confirmed that the other person is not missing any arms or legs. In fact, he can completely explain to Tang Yan, but when Shen Qi handed over the slippers, his fingertips touched the back of his hand, and the two knuckles were full of discomfort. The normal heat made Gu Yan shrink his fingers subconsciously.

Shen Qi had a high fever.

It burned too badly.So much so that Gu Yan couldn't calmly pretend that he didn't know, didn't feel it, then turned around and left, leaving the other party to faint at home.

He threw the slippers on the floor, changed the leather shoes on his feet, did not look into Shen Xi's eyes, and replied in a very calm tone: "That's fine."

Shen Qi's back was pressed against the porch, his bloodless lips were tightly bitten between his teeth, his pupils were slightly dilated, and then he nodded vigorously: "Okay!"

Apart from Tang Yan and Gu Yan, no one else was entertained at home. Shen Qi lured them to the sofa and sat down. He ran into the kitchen and thought about making a cup of tea for others, but after searching for a long time, he only found half a bag of tea. Mulberry leaf tea, this was brought over by Tang Yan two months ago.

Tang Yan was probably afraid that he would die at home alone, so he ran over to him every now and then to eat crayfish and duck feet.

Although Shen Qi has moved to this new apartment for almost half a year, he has never had a sense of belonging here, and he has never planned to entertain friends here. There is no wine, tea, or fruit. Tang Yan hates it to death. You have to bring something with you, like a bird carrying a nest.

Shen Qi opened the bag, grabbed some tea and brought it up to his nose to smell it, but the smell was weird, and he couldn't smell whether it had gone bad. He hesitated for a while, but he didn't dare to give it to Gu Yan to drink, and finally Still only poured a glass of boiling water.

The two held a glass each and drank quietly without saying a word.Shen Qi was both happy and nervous at the moment, rubbing the rim of the cup with his thumb nervously, his eyes were lowered, but his eyes always inadvertently glanced at Gu Yan.

He secretly regretted that he didn't listen to Tang Yan and prepare some food and drink, otherwise he wouldn't have to let Gu Yan drink a glass of boiled water now.

But other than that, he really didn't have anything else to entertain people, except... two apples that had been on the coffee table for a long time and whose skins had become wrinkled.

If I remember correctly, this was also brought by Tang Yan.

He thought, why not just peel an apple, it’s better than nothing, maybe it’s good to peel it, this apple is actually quite sweet and delicious, but...would it be too shabby, and Gu Yan was already Seeing it, will you misunderstand that I deliberately used these to disgust him?

Shen Xi swung his arms back and forth between the coffee table and the sofa, secretly glancing at Gu Yan's face from time to time, obviously Gu Yan was the guest and he was the host, but he looked more reserved and uncomfortable than Gu Yan, the guest .

"What's wrong with your hand?" Gu Yan suddenly asked when Shen Qi was struggling.

Shen Xi's heart tightened, and he subconsciously grasped his wrist. The arm that had been touched and kissed thousands of times by Gu Yan was covered under the wide sleeve of pajamas. ,nothing."

To hell with nothing.Gu Yan handed over a dissatisfied look, and finally landed on the arm firmly held by Shen Qi.

Just now, this person climbed up and down and rummaged through boxes and cabinets. It was difficult for Gu Yan not to pay attention to him, but he found a problem when he saw it——

Not only the arms, but also the back exposed from under the pajamas and other places have obvious scars, with blue and red intertwined, which is very scary.

Gu Yan held the water glass, took small sips of water, and told himself that everything about Shen Qi had nothing to do with him.He endured and endured for this, but in the end he couldn't hold back, and asked the question that was pressing in his heart.

In fact, when he was just standing next to the shoe cabinet, he had already seen the injury on Shen Qi's back, but at that time the light in the entrance was dim, and he suspected that his vision was wrong, so he didn't take it seriously.

And he was too embarrassed to stare at the person's back. He had already broken up, so it wasn't suitable.

However, if this person is really covered in injuries, he can no longer ignore it.

Male animals are inherently possessive. They like to mark their territory and don't like other males to touch things they have touched. Gu Yan's psychology at the moment is similar to this——

Although he and Shen Qi had broken up, every inch of this person's body once belonged to him, and he had touched, kissed and licked it.been marked.

When this person accidentally cut his hand while cooking, he would throw the knife into the trash can with great distress, and never let the other party touch the knife from now on.

So he repeated it again, with a heavy tone: "What's the matter with you?"

Shen Qi shrank back, his eyes dodged and he didn't dare to look into Gu Yan's eyes: "It's really nothing, just, I knocked it accidentally."

Gu Yan was obviously annoyed by his subconscious evasive action, and there was an unknown fire in his chest. He stood up from the sofa and walked to Shen Qi in two steps. After shaking a few times, it shifted a short distance to the side.

He bent down, put his palm on the back of the sofa, and locked Shen Xi between himself and the sofa.Shen Qi raised his head, his eyes were still shaking, as if begging or begging for mercy.

Gu Yan was unmoved, and forcefully tore off the buttons of his pajamas, then turned him over, and peeled off the blue-gray pajamas from him.
