rain is not far

When Zhong Yuan woke up, the sky had just been brightened, and the people beside him were still sleeping soundly.His sleeping posture was too quiet. He was curled up under the quilt, with one hand clenched and fisted, curled up on the side of his face, like a baby.

Zhong Yuan noticed the delicate tattoo on the inside of his wrist. The light in the bedroom was dim, and the knot pattern was three-dimensional, just like a real bracelet.

Zhong Yuan embraced him in his arms.

Yesterday's Qi Shiyu obviously didn't drink a drop, but he was more relaxed than the drunken night they met at the bar.He didn't hide the slightest bit of desire in the face of it, like a group of wanton water plants, dragging Zhong Yuan into the altar together.

He should be extremely tired, even though Zhong Yuan hugged him, he was not woken up by such a movement.Zhong Yuan just hugged him like this, held him for a long time before letting go, got up and went to the outside bathroom to wash up, then changed his clothes, left a note for Qi Shiyu, took his mobile phone and car keys and went downstairs.

The high school they used to attend is still one of the famous key high schools in City B.It's just that today is Sunday, and the traffic near the school is also very smooth.Zhong Yuan drove the car all the way to the school gate, got out of the car, and got into an alley next to the school that could only accommodate pedestrians.There are two rows of low-rise bungalows on both sides of the alley, which have not changed much from more than ten years ago.

As you walk, you can smell the mouth-watering aroma of omelets.

Time crazily recedes, and Zhong Yuan seems to have returned to the window of the classroom. Looking sideways, he can see that the person in the opposite building is scrambling for an egg pancake rolled with shredded potatoes with his deskmate. Even if he is far away, he can still see When he managed to bite into the omelette quickly, a big smile appeared on his face.

The pavements of these two rows of small bungalows have hardly changed, and Zhong Yuan successfully found the shop that sells egg pancakes.The business was not so lively on the weekend morning. The aunt who made the cake was sitting in front of the shop and chatting with people. When she saw a tall and handsome young man standing in front of her shop in a daze, she immediately asked enthusiastically, "Hey, is it so early, young man? order what?"

"Two shredded potato omelets, one without pepper." Zhong Yuan looked at it, "Two more cups of sweet soy milk."

The aunt was spreading cakes while chatting with him: "It's Sunday, why is it so early, young man?"

"I..." Zhong Yuan thought of that person at home and smiled, "I'm here to buy breakfast for my wife."

"Hey, how does the young man know how to hurt people so much?" The aunt joked, and then greeted inside, "Old man, bring a thermos bag that our daughter ordered as a delivery!"

In response to the sound, a man came out of the room quickly, holding a thermal bag for takeaway milk tea in his hand, with a simple and hearty smile: "Don't worry, young man, we have carefully sterilized the bag, and the cake itself is packed in a plastic bag! It won't taste good when it's cold, may I put the pancake and soy milk together for you?"

Zhong Yuan thanked him politely, took the thermal bag and walked out of the alley.

Back in the car, he looked at the heat preservation bag on the passenger side, with a faint smile on his lips.

I wonder if he will think of the past after eating it?

Maybe recall the self who was pulled out of the abyss by him in the alley.

There were not many cars on the weekend morning, so Zhong Yuan returned home quickly.With apprehension and anticipation, he opened the door of his house, only to find that the bedroom was already empty.

And on the post-it note he posted on the bedside message, Qi Shiyu added three simple words on the back: go first.

Zhong Yuan was still holding the thermal bag that he didn't have time to put down, so he just froze in place.

He always leaves without saying goodbye.

It was still early when Qi Shiyu returned to Baihua Lane. Qi Lang had no extra-curricular classes today, and he was still asleep.

Qi Shiyu pushed open the door of his room and took a look. Seeing this, the mushroom squeezed out from the crack of the door, and Qi Lang took its small bell, probably because he thought it was too noisy.Mushroom looked at Qi Shiyu with a look of indifference, but the wagging tail quickly betrayed its happy mood when it saw the big master.

Qi Shiyu went to the kitchen to get a can for it, and sat down on the stone steps in the yard. The discomfort in his body made him hiss.

The mushroom, who was buried in the canned food, looked up at him, and he held the dog's head down the next second.

"What are you looking at? You, a single dog who is doomed to be alone all his life, this is the pain and happiness you can't imagine." Qi Shiyu lit a cigarette, and ignored him regardless of the mushrooms, talking to himself blindly, " I'm doing zero once in a while, and all my previous efforts have been wasted, right?"

The mushrooms were eaten by themselves, and before Qi Shiyu finished smoking, someone pushed open the courtyard door.When he looked up, he saw He Dong carrying a multi-layer thermos.

"Why did you come back so early?" He Dong was a little surprised when he saw him, "Have you had breakfast? I brought Lang Lang his favorite boat porridge and shrimp dumplings."

"Little ancestor hasn't gotten up yet." Qi Shiyu took the food box in his hand, He Dong went to the kitchen with ease to get the dishes and tableware, and the two sat down at the stone table in the yard.

He Dong looked at Qi Shiyu's approaching steps with a playful expression: "Ah Shi, when did you even change your attributes?"

"..." Qi Shiyu took a big mouthful of porridge, "I don't understand what you said."

"Oh." Seeing that he was pretending to be stupid, He Dong didn't show mercy, "Come on, tell me, how did you fall in love with Lang Lang less than a week after he started primary school... No, it was the teacher in charge of him? "

Qi Shiyu squinted at him in horror: "Brother, did you switch bodies with He Xi? You don't usually gossip like this."

"Curiosity." He Dong was in a good mood, biting the shrimp dumpling and said, "You hung up the phone yesterday, and Auntie and that girl sat in the store for two hours."

Qi Shiyu didn't speak, and He Dong continued: "But this is a good thing, you have been in such a state of deception for the past few years, it shouldn't be for this reason."

"My mother's self-deception No. 1, my father's thoughts are not on these things at home." Qi Shiyu sighed, "After my brother left, my father stayed at school every day, and my mother had fewer people to communicate with. , the problem is even more serious. It’s a vicious circle.”

Qi Shiyu drank a bucket of porridge to the bottom and wiped his mouth: "I don't care about anything else, but Xiao Lang is too smart. He has already sensed that there is a problem between me and my grandparents. The child has no parents. It's very pitiful, I really don't want him to face another disharmonious family."

"That's why you've only been with Xiao An for more than two years?"

"What is bullshit? There is always a little bit of affection." Qi Shiyu frowned, "Although Xiao An is restless and loves to play, but with him around, my mother will not just give me girls when she is looking for opportunities like now. She sees It’s not that I like men, but it’s even more unacceptable for me to be a villain who helps my son find a mistress.”

Every family has scriptures that are difficult to recite, He Dong really didn't know what to say, so he had to bring the topic back to Zhong Yuan again: "Where did you go to play yesterday?"

"I went to the suburbs by bike."

"Didn't I see your car at the entrance of the alley when I first came here?" He Dong smiled, "Isn't that your lifeblood? How can you get a date and throw away your sweetheart?"

"..."

Because the ass hurts.

Also because of that hug from Zhong Yuan in the morning.

For some reason, he was able to maintain this relationship with Xiao An for nearly two years, but when faced with Zhong Yuan's occasional tenderness, he felt indescribably uneasy.
