Ex-boyfriend

Xu Yue knew that his words had to be discounted.

Sweet talk is nice, but how long can it last?Others may have three to five years, but Chu Yi has three to five months at most.

But ah...

But Xu Yue was reluctant to expose him now.

So he took Chu Yi's hand and walked back to the bed, saying, "Go to sleep, tomorrow is the first day of the new year."

Chu Yi let out a "hmm", and obediently lay back on the bed.

The next day, after the rain, it turned out to be fine weather again.

Xu Yue didn't sleep well in the middle of the night, but he got up early in the morning.In the past, he had to wear new clothes on the first day of the new year, but now he didn't pay much attention to it. He just picked a sweater at random and put it on.

Chu Yi nestled under the quilt, only showing a pair of eyes to look at him, and asked: "Going out so early?"

Xu Yue said, "I'm going to worship in the temple."

He felt that Chu Yi should not believe this, but after hearing this, Chu Yi immediately sat up from the bed and said, "I will go too."

Xu's father and Xu's mother went out before dawn, Xu Yue and Chu Yi went late, and there was already a long line of people offering incense in the temple.

There is only one temple in the town, which is built against the mountain. The incense is not very prosperous on weekdays, and it is the most lively day on the first day of the new year.There are all kinds of small vendors gathered outside the temple gate, some selling breakfast, selling incense candles, and even playing hoops.

Chu Yi was in the queue, while Xu Yue went outside to buy two egg pancakes, and the two ate them with relish.

They waited in line for half an hour before it was their turn to offer incense.

The Buddha statue made of golden body has kind eyebrows and kind eyes.Chu Yi, who had always been carefree, also knelt on the futon, prostrating in an extraordinarily pious manner.

Xu Yue also lit a stick of incense and stepped forward.What he wants every year is the safety and health of his family members. At this time, he hesitated a little, and quietly added someone's name to it.

The two of them had nothing to do after burning incense.There was nothing interesting in the town, so Xu Yue took Chu Yi around for a couple of times, and then returned home the same way.Chu Yi originally wanted to catch up on sleep, but he didn't expect to find a game tape from Xu Yue's room, which was the most popular game in their era.

Chu Yi was in high spirits, and immediately pestered Xu Yue to play with him.Xu Yue connected to the TV to try, and after a try, he could really play.

Chu Yi hasn't played games for many years, but he was considered a master back then, and he thought it would be no problem to kill Xu Yue once.Unexpectedly, I lost a few rounds in a row when I first got started, and a big "KO" was displayed on the screen.

Unconvinced, Chu Yi glanced at Xu Yue and said, "Come again!"

Xu Yue remained calm and said calmly, "Okay."

Next, Chu Yi played more attentively and fought Xu Yue with all his strength. Both of them won or lost, but Xu Yue had a higher winning rate overall.

Xu's father and Xu's mother probably went to visit relatives, but they never came back. They just sat on the sofa in the living room, playing games shoulder to shoulder.When the fight was at its most intense, Chu Yi suddenly asked, "A Yue, when will we get married?"

Xu Yue's hand shook.

The character he controlled on the screen misplaced a big move, was hit by Chu Yi's combo, and his blood bar dropped rapidly.

He collected himself, and calmly said: "Soldiers never tire of cheating, you've used this trick well."

Chu Yi smiled: "I'm serious."

Xu Yue didn't make a sound, his eyes were fixed on the screen.

Chu Yi said: "Sure enough, it's too hasty to propose like this. Forget it, wait until next time."

As soon as he finished speaking, the game controller in his hand fell to the ground.

Xu Yue pulled his arm, pressed him into his arms, bowed his head and kissed him.

Chu Yi murmured: "A Yue..."

Xu Yue kissed delicately, lingered on Chu Yi's lips for a while, then backed away again.

Chu Yi still couldn't finish it, he licked his lips and said, "I almost won just now."

Xu Yue said: "It was you who cheated first."

Chu Yi took the opportunity to say: "Then how do you plan to punish me?"

Xu Yue stared at him for a moment, then said, "We'll talk about it when we get back."

That's a promise.

Chu Yi was so itchy that he didn't even have the mind to play games anymore, he wished he could pack Xu Yue and go back to the city immediately.But it was rare for Xu Yue to go home, and of course he had to take a full vacation before leaving.The two of them didn't dare to go too far in Xu Yue's parents' house, they could only hold hands occasionally when no one was paying attention.

Xu Yue accompanied Chu Yi to eat, drink and have fun for a few days, and on the fifth day of the Lunar New Year, he had to visit his relatives.Chu Yi had no name or distinction, no matter how thick-skinned he was, he couldn't follow him, so he had to stay alone as a housekeeper.

As a result, when Xu Yue was having dinner at his uncle's house, the notification sounds of "Ding Dong" and "Ding Dong" kept ringing on his mobile phone, all of which were messages from Chu Yi.

"A Yue, have you eaten yet?"

"What do you have for lunch?"

"I'm so miserable, I can only eat instant noodles..."

Xu Yue replied a few messages, and his cousins ​​smiled knowingly, and finally said firmly: "A Yue must be in love."

Xu Yue didn't refute. When he came home after dinner, he bought a bag of fried chestnuts with sugar on the street and took them back.

He was walking halfway when his phone rang.He thought it was Chu Yi calling, but when he picked it up, it turned out to be an unfamiliar number.

"Hello, who is it?"

"Is it Mr. Xu Yuexu?"

It was a young man who spoke, and his voice sounded familiar.Xu Yue responded, "I am."

The other party said: "I am Chu Yi's brother."

"Mr. Chu?" Xu Yue was stunned for a moment and asked, "What's the matter?"

"I'm sorry to bother you. I want to ask, is little... is Chu Yi by your side?"

"Yes, he and I went back to my hometown for the New Year."

The man on the opposite side breathed a little harder, paused for a while, and asked again: "Is he by your side now?"

"No, I just went out the door."

"Mr. Xu," Chu Yu cleared his throat, and said, "I have something to tell you, I hope you can listen to me carefully."

"what's up?"

"In the old house of our Chu family, there was a yard. When my grandmother was alive, she set up a flower garden in the yard to grow flowers. After my grandmother passed away, no one took care of the flower garden, but it has been left untouched. A few days ago A heavy rain blew down the shelves of the flowerbed, and when the workers were repairing, they dug up a dead body from the flowerbed.”

Xu Yue was taken aback, his heartbeat suddenly accelerated.He heard Chu Yu continue: "The body is highly decomposed. After investigation by the police, it was found that the deceased was killed a few months ago. After DNA testing, the identity of the deceased has been confirmed."

After Chu Yu took a deep breath, he said in a deep voice, "...that's my younger brother Chu Yi."
