follow the light, fly

On the TV is the host's passionate countdown to the New Year's bell. In front of the TV is an empty living room, and the sound of firecrackers outside the window is loud. Ni Yan is lying on the bed, huddled in Lu Mingsu's arms, knowing that tonight is Don't want to sleep.

"Alas..." Ni Yan sighed heavily, the tip of his nose was suddenly bitten lightly by Lu Mingsu.

"It's New Year's Eve, why are you sighing, slap!" Lu Mingsu growled, and suddenly saw Ni Yan raise his hand, and immediately grabbed it, "Who told you to slap yourself, I'll do it!" Said Wan gently patted Ni Yan on the mouth.

The bell on the TV came from the living room, and the host happily shouted "Happy New Year", Ni Yan looked up at Lu Mingsu: "Lu Mingsu, Happy New Year!"

"Happy New Year, boyfriend!" Lu Mingsu said with a smile, lowered his head and kissed Ni Yan's forehead, "I was wrong, I didn't even prepare a present."

"You are the best gift." Ni Yan smiled.

Lu Mingsu gently touched Ni Yan's back: "Sleep, I'll help you block the noise." He covered Ni Yan's ears casually.

"You don't need to cover this one, you can't hear it." Ni Yan closed his eyes and snorted, then bowed his head into Lu Mingsu's arms.

"Ah?" Lu Mingsu was startled, and looked down at Ni Yan, "What do you mean?"

"Literally." Ni Yan said.

"What's wrong with your ears?" Lu Mingsu suddenly remembered seeing Ni Yan with an earphone plugged in several times, but couldn't hear him speak.

"I don't know," Ni Yan said casually, "Since that time, I have gradually lost hearing, probably because the stick hit some nerve."

"Then why don't you go to the hospital for a checkup?" Lu Mingsu asked in surprise.

"No money, no food," Ni Yan's voice became softer and softer, "It doesn't matter anymore, and it doesn't have any influence. Don't you still have one."

Lu Mingsu hugged Ni Yan tightly, patted him on the back lightly, and muttered softly: "It doesn't matter again, you don't care about anything..."

"Lu Mingsu!" Ni Yan called softly, Lu Mingsu thought that Ni Yan had already fallen asleep, "Sing one more time."

Lu Mingsu smiled, and sang softly: "The moon is bright, the wind is quiet..." Gradually, the hand rubbing against his stomach stopped, and there was a slight breath from his shoulder.

……

"Lu Mingsu, why didn't anyone set off cannons last night?!" Ni Yan slept until dawn, before opening his eyes, he rubbed his head on Lu Mingsu's shoulder, "What time is it?"

A moment of silence...

"Lu Mingsu?" Ni Yan rubbed Lu Mingsu's stomach with his hands.

"Don't make trouble, I'll sleep for a while." Lu Mingsu's voice was weak.

Ni Yan helplessly touched Lu Mingsu's face, just as he was about to pinch it, he suddenly felt something wrong...it was so hot!He was startled, and sat up with his arms stretched out. Seeing Lu Mingsu's flushed face, he panicked: "Lu Mingsu, don't sleep, get up, I'll take you to the hospital!"

"It's okay, just get some sleep." Lu Mingsu closed his eyes, his brows were still frowning, "Hey, don't make noise."

Ni Yan jumped out of bed, put on his clothes and called the third child, telling him to drive over quickly and go to the hospital by himself.

The third child went to bed after watching the Spring Festival Gala the night before, and didn't sleep well all night with the sound of gunfire. He heard Ni Yan's panicked voice in a daze, got up quickly, put on his clothes, took the car keys and rushed out.

Ni Yan hung up the phone, ran out of the room in a panic, poured a glass of water, and fed Lu Mingsu with his head: "Open your mouth, drink more hot water, we'll go to the hospital right away."

"I don't want to drink hot water, and I'm not here for my aunt," Lu Mingsu pouted and muttered, "I don't want to go to the hospital, I want a special account!"

"Hey, go to the hospital first, and come back to give you a special meal." Ni Yan ran out again, brought a wet towel back and applied it on Lu Mingsu's head.

"Don't go to the hospital, don't get injections, don't draw blood!" Lu Mingsu frowned and moaned.

"No, no!" Ni Yan roared, "Lu Mingsu, don't force me to be brutal to you!"

"Mom, Yanbao bullied me!" Lu Mingsu howled with his eyes closed as if his brain had been burnt out.

"It's useless to call grandma, your mother knows who Yan Bao is?!" Ni Yan rolled his eyes at him, and was about to change the towel when he suddenly noticed something was wrong and turned his head to look at him blankly, "Whose mother are you calling? "

There was another silence... Just when Ni Yan was about to slap Lu Mingsu awake, the doorbell rang.

Ni Yan turned around and rushed to the door to open it. Seeing the burly third brother standing at the door panting heavily, he pulled him in and said, "Quick, quick!"

"Aren't you doing well? What are you going to—" Seeing that Ni Yan was more energetic than himself, the third child was wondering, suddenly stopped, and looked dumbfounded at the living room in front of him.

"Let's go, I'm alone -" Ni Yan felt that the third brother stopped suddenly, turned his head and glared at him impatiently, and found that his eyes were lost in front of him, so he followed his gaze. Looking over, he froze for an instant.

There are several hemp ropes hanging on the walls on both sides of the living room, and rows of photos are hung on the ropes with small clips. It is estimated that there are fifty or sixty photos, and each one is Ni Yan.One-third of Ni Yan was asleep, with different angles and different postures, but with the same sweet smile hanging on his lips, and the corners of his eyes were curved, like a child who dreamed of eating candy.There are also Ni Yan's backs, light-colored sportswear, dark blue windbreaker, black and white checked coat, each with a different background.The others are all kinds of snapshots, like recording all the happy faces of Ni Yan.

What surprised Ni Yan the most was that there was also a curved hemp rope hanging from the ceiling between the two walls. However, what was held on the rope with a small clip was not photos, but pen drawings one after another. There are five pictures, the four pictures on the side show Ni Yan's different expressions, some are smiling, some are in tears, and the one in the middle is the affectionate kiss of two boys.

With a "bang", the key in the third child's hand fell to the ground unexpectedly. He glanced at the whole living room, and finally stared blankly at the portrait in the middle: "I think... I need an explanation, and there are 5 Take a minute to slow down."

"Fuck | His uncle!" Ni Yan's eyes were watery.

"You don't even let the old man go?!" The third child said softly.

Ni Yan collected himself, dragged the third child and ran into the room: "We'll talk about it on the way, send him to the hospital first!"

"Who? Who's going to the hospital?" The third child stepped into the door with a blank expression, and then froze again. The trash picker was lying on Ni Yan's bed with a flushed face at the moment.

He ran to the bed, grabbed Lu Mingsu, asked Ni Yan to wrap Lu Mingsu in a down jacket, put him on Ni Yan's back, and ran out the door following Ni Yan.

The third child glanced at the rearview mirror from time to time, and saw Ni Yan holding the rag picker in his arms, stroking the man's forehead constantly, with an anxious expression on his face.He snorted coldly: "Tell me, you owe me an explanation, why did you lie to us?"

"I didn't lie to you, I admitted it, but you didn't believe it." Ni Yan said absent-mindedly.

"Nonsense, who can believe this?!" The third child's eyes widened, "You damn girl knows?"

"Ah."

"Fuck, fourth brother, you can do it. If someone marries a wife, you fucking marry a man?!" The third son roared with a serious face, "You have to piss fourth aunt to death!"

"My mother agreed." Ni Yan said.

"It's over, I'm already demented by you." The third child shook his head helplessly, suddenly remembered something, and bluffed, "Fuck, why do I always think he looks familiar, the one in the online video some time ago What, is it him?!"

"……Yes."

The third child suddenly burst into anger, and yelled at Ni Yan's face in the rearview mirror: "Are you going to die?! It's fine for you to be a rebel, but we won't interfere with your private affairs if you find someone reliable. But you dare to get involved with such a rich and luxurious family, the little singer has not been two months, have you counted how many you are?!"

"I am that little singer." Ni Yan said helplessly.

The third child was taken aback for a while, and finally said coldly, "You are truly a legend in our family...you are amazing!"

"Brother, stop pushing, drive faster!" Ni Yan said impatiently, looking out the window.

"What's the rush? Why don't you just have a fever? Why don't you just take a fever-reducing medicine at home?!" The third child muttered dissatisfiedly, "Rich people are more expensive than us."

"It's as if you're not rich yourself." Ni Yan glanced at the rearview mirror.

"I have no money, and I can't afford to send more than 1 red envelopes!" The third child sneered, "Your sister-in-law looked at your circle of friends yesterday and scolded me, saying that I am not as proud as a girl. Nima girl It's a heroic spirit to redecorate your living room!"

Ni Yan was completely focused on Lu Mingsu, and he was not in the mood to argue with third brother at all. As soon as the car stopped, he opened the door and dragged Lu Mingsu down.

When Lu Ming woke up, he found himself leaning on the chair, his right hand was cool, he looked down, there was a needle stuck in the back of his hand, and the hose was connected to the mouth of the medicine bottle above his head.

He looked around and realized that he was in the infusion room of the hospital. On the morning of the first day of the new year, there were only a few people in the infusion hall.Sitting alone in the corner beside the nurse's desk... Where's Ni Yan?

Lu Mingsu was a little flustered, why would he be sitting here hanging water alone, he wanted to send Ni Yan a WeChat message to ask where Ni Yan was, but when he touched his pocket, he found that he was wearing Ni Yan's down jacket, and his phone was not inside.

"Nurse!" Lu Mingsu raised his head and called out, seeing a little girl turned to look at him, "Did a young man send me here?"

"Which boy are you talking about?" the little nurse said, "The fat one went to get medicine, and the thin one has hypoglycemia and is lying on the hospital bed inside."

"Damn it!" Lu Mingsu was startled, and wanted to pull out the needle and rush to Ni Yan's side, but as soon as he lifted his body, his head felt dizzy, and he leaned back again.

"Hey, what are you doing?" The third child returned after taking the medicine and saw Lu Mingsu's body shaking, "Be honest!"

"Brother?" Lu Mingsu was a little surprised when he saw the burly figure in front of him, "How is Ni Yan?"

"It's lying inside." The third child looked at the medicine in his hand, and originally wanted to throw it away and leave, but seeing Lu Mingsu worried about Ni Yan anxiously, and a little soft-hearted, he sat down beside Lu Mingsu, "Tell me , siblings!"

"Ah?" Lu Mingsu was taken aback, almost unable to react.

"You can't believe nine out of ten of his words, so how I feel about you depends on whether you have confessed honestly!" The third child looked at Lu Mingsu with a serious face, since Ni Yan chose to leave This way, he will try his best to prevent the person in front of him from easily hurting Ni Yan.

"Brother, what do you want to know, I'll tell you everything!" Lu Mingsu expressed his heartfelt eagerness, "We are classmates, and we have been together for a few months. Lao Qi knew about it early on, and so does Auntie. , she agreed."

"You two, what are you going to do in the future?" The youngest looked into Lu Mingsu's eyes, as long as he dared to lie, he could tell at a glance.

"I... listen to him," Lu Mingsu said, "he can do whatever he wants."

"Listen to him?" The third child sneered, "If you listen to him, you two can spend the rest of your life like this. He doesn't have any opinions at all. He lives a life he's used to and doesn't want to change. If you listen to him, you can do everything. , then you are not suitable for him, get out early!"

"But I..." Lu Mingsu wanted to say that Ni Yan was not without ideas, how dare he make up his own mind to plan the future of the two of them at will, and when he turned around, Ni Yan kicked his head every minute.

"You met his second brother the other day. We all have this style in our family. The elder brother is more rugged, and the fifth and sixth are not fully developed. I guess they won't lose much weight." The third child said with a sneer, "If someday I Hearing his complaint, you just wait to contact the funeral service!"

"Brother, don't worry, it won't happen." Lu Mingsu's heart trembled, and he thought of Ni Yan's second uncle, and thought of Ni Yan's family's sturdy folk style, "I can't even beat him, how dare I provoke him? !"

"That's the only personal thing his father does, so he can defend himself anyway." The third child shook his head helplessly, looked up at the medicine bottle above his head, and called the nurse to pull out the needle.

Lu Mingsu hurriedly ran to the hospital bed in the back room, and saw Ni Yan lying on the bed with his eyes closed tightly, and a corner of the towel was still sticking out of his collar.

"Ni Yan! Ni Yan!" Lu Mingsu knelt by the bed and called out softly. He saw Ni Yan's eyes slowly opening. He knew that Ni Yan was still weak just after recovering. He stretched out his hand to gently wipe Ni Yan's side face, " Are you feeling better? Do you want some candy? I'll buy it for you."

"Has your fever gone yet?" Ni Yan hummed weakly, trying to reach out to touch Lu Mingsu's forehead, he raised it halfway with all his strength and then dropped it.

"Back off." Lu Mingsu grabbed Ni Yan's hand and pressed it to his forehead.

Ni Yan smiled: "It's cold on the ground, get up. I'll sleep for a while, if you're in a hurry, go back with my brother first."

"Don't worry, I'll stay here with you, you go to sleep, I'll buy you porridge." Lu Mingsu stood up, squeezed Ni Yan's hand, then turned and walked outside, passing by the third child, said softly , "Brother, I'm sorry to trouble you, I'll go buy him something to eat."

The third child nodded, turned around and saw Lu Mingsu exiting the infusion hall, walked to Ni Yan's bedside, and said with a soft smile, "As far as it looks...it's okay!"

Ni Yan closed his eyes tightly, the sweat on his forehead had stopped, he smiled faintly, and fell asleep...
