Choose Wood and Live

After tidying up, the two lay on the bed, Shen Yize got a ghost movie somewhere, and the two just watched the ghost movie under the mosquito net with the yellowed desk lamp on the bedside.

Gu Xi's whole body was full of rejection cells, Shen Yize was indeed very interested, and pulled him to watch.

Gu Xi covered his eyes the whole time, and trembled when he heard any movement. Seeing this, Shen Yize paused his phone and asked, "Are you really scared?"

"Can you stop watching it? Go to bed early, and I'll take you to the market tomorrow." Gu Qi glanced at the bloody picture on the phone. Although he knew it was all fake, he was still a little scared. He was never very courageous.

"Okay, okay, sleep." Seeing that he was really scared, Shen Yi chose to exit the page, raised his hand to set the timer for the air conditioner, and the two of them pulled the thin quilt over their stomachs to sleep.

Gu Xi took off the hearing aid, and couldn't hear the sound of the outside world for an instant. The world was quiet. He thought he couldn't hear the noisy cicadas outside the window. He lay on his side on the bed and looked at the curtains, and began to wander.

The person behind him turned off the light, took a nap and went to sleep. After a while, Gu Xi was also in a daze, and fell asleep with his eyes closed.

It was two o'clock in the morning when Shen Yize woke up. When the air conditioner stopped, he was warmed up. He carefully lifted the mosquito net, walked to the window and opened it, leaving a layer of window screen on the outside. In the room, Shen Yize breathed a sigh of relief, climbed back to bed and continued to sleep.

As soon as he lay down, the people around him wrapped themselves in the quilt and rubbed against each other. The thin quilt was completely wrapped around Gu Xi's body. The sleeping person frowned slightly, and raised his hand to pull the thing wrapped around him, but found that he couldn't remove it no matter what. .

Shen Yize raised his hand to fix the quilt, Gu Xi was released and rubbed against him again.

The boy smiled, lay down and continued to sleep.

Early in the morning, Gu Qi took Shen Yize and his grandmother to the market. The morning breeze was still a little bit cool. Grandpa rode a three-wheeler with his grandmother, and Shen Yize rode his uncle's bicycle with Gu Xi. set up.

Back and forth, many acquaintances in the same village or neighboring villages knew grandpa and grandma. After saying hello, they would look at Gu Qi and Shen Yize behind them, and they greeted honestly.

The two seldom come to the market. The grandpa and grandma chatted with the seller while shopping for vegetables. The grandpa saw that the two of them were bored and asked them to go play on their own and go home before noon.

Gu Qi nodded and pulled Shen Yize to slip away, bought two popsicles and the two of them ate while pushing past people to a place where there were few people.

The two stopped in front of a stall selling picture books. The stall was full of all kinds of books. Gu Xi raised his hand and flipped through them. Although he knew that there was no book he wanted, the feeling of flipping through the books would be overwhelming. Let yourself have a feeling of going back to your childhood.

Squatting in front of the bookstall and looking at the book he wanted, the soft and sticky little Gu Qi raised his head and told his parents that he wanted the little book.

Shen Yize raised his hand and saw a book with "XXXXXX about men" written in big characters. The old man blushed subconsciously and looked up at Gu Xi, only to see the other party looking at the bookstall with a smile, and turned his head He used another book to block the book he had just seen, then raised his hand and pulled Gu Xi.

"?" Gu Qi raised his head and looked at him suspiciously.

"Let's go, let's look at other things." He said and pulled him away.

Don't let Gu Xi see that kind of book, don't teach the child badly.

Near noon, the two sat under the parasols of the shaved ice shop. Shen Yize kept fanning with an advertising fan in his hand, silently complaining about the horrible weather.

"I want apple flavor, how about you?" Gu Xi turned to him while holding the same fan.

"The same is fine." Shen Yixuan replied, and Gu Qi frantically went to get the shaved ice for the two of them, and when he came back, he brought two plastic spoons back.

"Let's go back later, let's go back to do our homework, and come out when it's not too hot." Seeing his reborn appearance, Gu Qi couldn't help but smile, he didn't expect Shen Yize to be so afraid of the heat, and he would finish eating shaved ice later It's better to go back sooner.

Shen Yize nodded quickly, as long as he can go back and turn on the air conditioner, it doesn't matter to do those problems that give him a headache.

The next morning, the weather was cloudy and gloomy. The weather was not as hot as the day before, but it was still a little dry. Gu Qi was thinking about the lotus. After lunch, Shen Yi chose to change into short sleeves and put on a thin jacket The two went out.

The small lotus pond in Gu Xi's memory has long since disappeared, and now it has been remodeled. The pond is enlarged, the water flow is alive, and the long river leads to the distance.

"There are no lotus pods on the side, but there is a boat over there, we can go in." Shen Yize made sure after asking someone, and took him to find a boat, but Gu Qi was so embarrassed that he didn't dare to get on it.

"Why don't you wait for me on the shore for a while, and I'll pick you two and come here?" The boy casually picked a lotus flower from the shore and handed it to Gu Xi, rubbed his head and boarded the boat by himself. After picking a few big lotus pods, he raised his hand and waved at him with a smile.

Gu Xi squeezed the lotus in his hand to let him come up quickly, Shen Yize nodded, picked a few more before going ashore, Gu Xi quickly raised his hand to pull him, Shen Yize smiled, squeezed his hand and got off the boat, alone Holding the lotus pod in his arms, he asked, "Do you want to taste it?"

"Okay." Gu Qi nodded, he couldn't remember the taste clearly, but he felt that the lotus seeds in the lotus pod picked by Shen Yize must be sweet.

The two of them hadn't even tasted the taste of lotus seeds when they heard a thunderclap in the sky, followed by a downpour of rain. The two of them, who had become chicken soup in an instant, suddenly laughed out of nowhere.

Shen Yize stuffed the lotus into Gu Xi's arms, and then took off his thin coat and put it on Gu Xi's head. Gu Xi was about to take it off but was held down by the other party, and raised his hand to pick a big lotus leaf and put it on the two heads On the other hand, Gu Xi is often able to run.

"You're going to catch a cold..." Gu Qi looked up at the people around him, the lotus leaves didn't do much to keep out the rain, and Shen Yize's clothes were all wet.

"It's okay." The boy looked down at the steamy man in his arms, chuckled and continued to run back.

The lotus pond was a little far from grandma's house, and when the two returned home, their clothes were completely soaked. Seeing the appearance of the two, grandma hurriedly pushed them to the bathroom, and went to boil ginger syrup to keep the two children away from the cold.

Shen Yize was afraid that Gu Qi would get sick, so he asked him to wash first, while he went back to the room to find a towel, changed his clothes and wiped off the rainwater on his body.

Gu Qi hurriedly took a shower and rinsed his hair, and let Shen Yi choose to take a bath full of guilt. If he didn't want to go, the two of them would not have been caught in the rain.

Grandma poured ginger syrup into a small porcelain bowl, Gu Qi carried it upstairs, and let Shen Yize drink it after taking a shower, for fear of catching a cold.

As a result, Shen Yize still had a fever in the evening, and the two of them drank ginger syrup and dried their hair before curling up in bed to sleep. Gu Xi didn't feel anything when he woke up, and Shen Yize was indeed blushing.

Gu Qi was startled, raised his hand to touch his forehead, and immediately jumped out of bed to ask grandma for antipyretics.

Grandpa and grandma took care of the lotus pods they brought back. Grandma was cooking lotus seed porridge when she saw Gu Qi hurried down to ask for antipyretics.

When Shen Yixuan was woken up by Gu Xi, he only felt a splitting headache. When he opened his eyes and saw Gu Xi's eyes were red and told him to take medicine, he realized that he had a fever.

"Why are you about to cry?" Shen Yize smiled tiredly, leaned on the bedside, took the pills in his hand and ate them, raised his hands and pinched Gu Qi's soft cheeks, "I'll be fine after taking the medicines and going to sleep ,Don't worry."

"It's all my fault..." Gu Xi knelt on the bed, lowered his head to reflect, he was going to see the lotus, and when it was raining, Shen Yize used his coat to protect his head, and he was drenched all over.

"I'm fine, really." The boy closed his eyes and asked him to stay away, so as not to infect him.

Unexpectedly, Gu Qi shook his head, and after letting himself lie down, he sat aside, put him in his half-wrapped arms, and let himself sleep in the posture of a mother watching a child sleep.

Shen Yixuan still refused, Gu Qi's hand directly covered his eyes, and coaxed him to sleep.

He had a headache at first, but the effect of the medicine came up again, and Shen Yize didn't have so much energy to tangle with him, so he wrapped his arms around Gu Xi's waist and fell asleep.

Gu Xi took his hands away when the person in his arms had completely fallen asleep, and carefully laid down on the bed like Shen Yize, facing him face to face, except that one was awake and the other was fast asleep.

When the person in front of him was asleep, he looked much softer than before. Although Shen Yize was also very gentle to him in normal times, it was different from now.Gu Qi's head was also a little groggy, and he suddenly felt that Shen Yichou was infected by sleep, and that he wanted to sleep too.

But... Gu Qi still stared at Shen Yize with his eyes open, and slowly moved his face away by magic, and kissed Shen Yize's chin.

This kiss doesn't matter, after the kiss, Gu Xi bounced up, and kept replaying his actions just now in his mind, what exactly did he do!

Shen Yize, who was still sleeping, was disturbed by his movements, moved his body and raised his hand to touch Gu Xi, and when he touched Gu Xi again, he put his arms around him.

Gu Xi raised his hand to cover his mouth, trying not to make a sound, the center of his mind was in chaos, and he didn't know why he wanted to kiss Shen Yize for a while.

……

During dinner, grandma came to call the two of them, Gu Xi was in a state of confusion, shook his head and said that he was eating when Shen Yize woke up.

Grandma agreed and put the dishes away for the two of them.

It was already nine o'clock in the evening when I woke up again, and the rain outside didn't know when it stopped.Shen Yize's fever has subsided, and when he opened his eyes, he saw Gu Xi who was hugged in his arms. The other party didn't know what he was thinking, and opened his eyes to look at the wall.

"What are you thinking about?" The boy felt his throat burning as soon as he opened his mouth. Gu Xi came back to his senses, sat up and handed the water glass to him on the bedside table, but his eyes were so erratic that he didn't dare to look at him, so he handed the water glass to him. He jumped out of bed and left the room.

Shen Yize was puzzled by his silence, when he saw Gu Qi walking in with two porridge bowls, Shen Yize put down the cups and said, "You don't need to bring them here, just go downstairs and eat."

Gu Qi shook his head, put the porridge bowl on the desk, and went out again.

Seeing that he didn't speak, Shen Yize got up to wash his face and brush his teeth. Gu Qi outside had all been prepared. Grandma made refreshing side dishes and stir-fried vegetables, taking care of the patient's appetite very well.
