I have a good relationship with Jinzhu's Bai Yueguang

After Xu Xiaomo's voice fell, the room was silent for a long time.

I couldn't digest it for a while, and even if I heard it clearly, I still couldn't understand it.I don't know if it's what I think it is.

Xu Xiaomo didn't seem to want me to answer at all. After a long silence, he asked abruptly, "Do you want to eat something?"

I was a little confused, "Huh?"

He said, "You shouldn't have eaten much tonight, do you want something to eat now?"

At this moment, the stomach growled in a timely manner.

So I nodded awkwardly, "Tell me where the kitchen is..."

The decoration of the man's home is simple and simple, except for gray and white. Although it has a modern aesthetic feeling, it also gives people a cold feeling.

Just like its owner.

Xu Xiaomo turned on the light in the kitchen and took out a bundle of noodles from the refrigerator.I was about to roll up my high sleeves to cook noodles, but I saw the other party put on an apron.

Fortunately, the apron is black instead of floral, otherwise it would have a greater visual impact on me.

I was startled, "You know how to cook?"

The man glanced at me, thinking the question was a little ridiculous.He didn't answer, but said, "Help me tie it."

I did as I said, and was even more amazed when I saw the other party beat the eggs skillfully and put the water under the boil.

I thought that these young masters would never do it themselves.Just like Gu Shang, who doesn't wash or make clothes, as for asking him to do hygiene, that's even more impossible.

Thinking of Gu Shang, my newly recovered mood became a little heavy again.

Xu Xiaomo looked like the kind of person who often cooks, and he was at the level of a master.After a while he cooked the noodles.

A nest egg is placed on the surface, and some thin chopped green onions are sprinkled on top. It looks very delicate and delicious, and it will greatly increase the appetite.

I was already hungry, but when I smelled the delicious smell, I couldn't help swallowing.

"Aren't you going to eat?" Before I moved my chopsticks, I found that the man hadn't brought out a second bowl of noodles.

He shook his head and sat down across from me.

I don't like being stared at, but I was so hungry and the experience tonight was so ridiculous that I ate my noodles without paying attention.

"Let me wash the dishes!" Seeing the man stretch out his hand, I quickly blocked it, "You are too tired from washing."

He raised his eyebrows, "There is a dishwasher."

I:"……"

Oh.

Xu Xiaomo didn't know whether he was considerate or something, but he didn't express anything about my previous gaffe.

I breathed a sigh of relief and let him take me back to the guest room on the second floor.

"The quilts and pillows are all new. If you need anything, you can find me on the third floor." He said to me.

I said I got it.

The man didn't say anything, and when I turned around to leave, I stopped him again.

"Xu Xiaomo," I hesitated, "Thank you."

He looked at me for a while, then nodded and closed the door for me without saying a word.

I fell on the strange and soft bed, but instead of feeling relieved, I became more and more anxious.

I don't know what I'm anxious about, maybe it's because of Gu Shang's confusion, maybe it's Xu Xiaomo's attitude...

But probably the most is the uneasiness about the future.

Changes come quickly, and there are more and more unknowns.

Even if I tell myself as always, don't think about it anymore, just forget about it.But many scenes still popped up in my mind again and again.

There are those of my mother, those of my father and my brother, those of my grandma, and those of Gu Shang...

I was angry at the dinner table, but now that I calm down, I realize that there is more despair than anger.

The overwhelming despair made me feel a little uncomfortable.

I didn't know how many times I turned over and closed my eyes.I flipped from one pillow to another and back again, unable to sleep after tossing and turning.

Finally I reached for the bedside lamp and turned it on.Warm yellow suddenly took over the darkness.

I couldn't find my mobile phone. After thinking about it, I probably forgot it on the first floor.So I got out of bed and decided to look for it.

I walked lightly towards the stairs, and just a few steps down, I heard the sound of the door on the third floor being opened.

Then Xu Xiaomo appeared at the stairs.

"Why aren't you asleep yet?" I subconsciously asked him.

Instead of answering, he asked, "Where are you going?"

I told him honestly that I wanted to get my phone.

Xu Xiaomo raised his eyebrows, and then he asked me to go back to my room.

"Your phone is with me, you go back to your room first."

I had to lie back on the bed again.

It took Xu Xiaomo a long time to come in, and he gently closed the door behind him.I watched him close the door with his backhand, and I was a little nervous for some reason.

What is he going to do.I thought with some trepidation.

Immediately afterwards, the man sat beside my bed and put my quilt on his hands.

I stared at the hand with sharp bones, my mind was full of thoughts, and I couldn't stop thinking about it.

Thinking about it, my face became slightly hot.

It's not my fault, who told this person to say something that doesn't make sense just now.

"Can't sleep?" the man said suddenly.

It took me a long time to come back to my senses, "Huh? A little bit."

He looked at me silently.

I just said, "Well, I can't sleep."

In fact, I am a little afraid that men will ask me why I can't fall asleep, and that will embarrass me.But he didn't, he just nodded after listening, then left a sentence to wait for me, got up and went out.

A few minutes later, Xu Xiaomo came back, holding a glass in one hand and a book in the other.

The blue cover is very familiar, it is the French book The Little Prince.

I obediently drank the water he handed me, and after thanking him, I found the man opened the book.

He asked, "How many paragraphs shall I read to you?"

I said yes.

Then I thought, the other party will not want to read French to me, right?

But this method may really work, because I don't understand it.Just like the previous physics class, the more you listen, the more sleepy you become.

But the man reads Chinese very seriously.

Instead of reading it from the beginning, he chose the chapter where the little prince meets the fox.I understand, after all the man said it was his favorite chapter.

I also read this book later. If I remember correctly, each chapter of it is very short, but the man only read a single chapter, but he read it for almost half an hour.

Maybe it can't be counted as reading, it should be called "speaking".

I don’t have a deep memory, but I can hear that the man added a lot of content, such as the anxious mood of the fox waiting for the little prince, and the appearance of killing time in the field...

I don't know how long it took, but the man finally talked about the part where the fox and the little prince parted. I half-closed my eyes, and actually felt sleepy.

"The little prince said goodbye to the fox. He was thinking about the rose. The fox was very sad because it was the first time it was tamed and met a friend for the first time, but the other party told him that he was leaving."

"The fox once told him: 'If you love someone, you have to be responsible to him. This is the real guarantee of a "domesticated" relationship, and it is also the essence of human interaction'."

"The little prince left after making a promise with the fox. The fox waited and waited, but the other party never came back..."

I couldn't help but interrupted: "I remember it wasn't like that in the book."

"What happened after the fox is not written in the book."

He said lightly, "According to the development of the story, it will indeed be like this."

"But the little prince walked very simply, and didn't make any agreement with the fox..." I was a little sleepy, but my mind was still there, and I didn't even think of this scene in the book after thinking about it.

Xu Xiaomo paused, and then said: "In his opinion, there is indeed no agreement, but in the fox's view, it is not the case."

"Why?" I couldn't figure out why.

He looked at me quietly for a while, and then said slowly:

"You know."

I didn't care about arguing with him anymore, sleepiness hit me like a tide, and I closed my eyes after a while.

The next morning I was woken up by birdsong outside the window.Xu Xiaomo left without knowing when, what happened last night was like a dream.

But when I caught a glimpse of the cup on the bedside table, I realized it wasn't a dream.

I don't know what time it is, and I can't remember the date. I brush my teeth dully and let myself go.

If it wasn't for the strange environment, for a moment I thought I had traveled back in time, back to the time when I first lived in Gu Shang's apartment.

I hesitated in front of the stairs for a long time, until I heard the rustling of paper from downstairs, and I went downstairs as if I had just woken up from a dream.

Xu Xiaomo was sitting on the sofa reading a newspaper.The man was wearing a jet black sweater, which made his skin whiter.The black mole at the corner of the eye and the looming scar hidden behind the hair became more conspicuous.

When he saw me, he put down the newspaper in his hand, "Are you awake? Do you want something to eat?"

I shook my head and sat down beside him.

The ticking of the wall clock, the rustling of the leaves blown by the wind outside, and the faint sound of the car horn, amplified a lot in this silence.

He stayed with me in silence for a while, and then asked, "What's wrong?"

"I thought I wouldn't be able to sleep yesterday." I said to him, "I actually fell asleep."

Also slept pretty well.

He said calmly, "Because I dissolved a dozen sleeping pills in the water."

I choked on my saliva.

He looked at me who was coughing non-stop, and said, "I'm lying to you, if the water was soaked in medicine, you would have drank it long ago."

Then he said again: "And that stuff is not good for your health, I won't let you eat it."

There was a hint of warmth in my heart, and then I struggled for a while, and tentatively asked: "Xu Xiaomo, can I stay with you for a few more days, for money..."

Xu Xiaomo interrupted me: "I don't need that little money."

When I thought about it, yes.

"It's fine." Xu Xiaomo asked, "But Gu Shang, what are you going to do?"

When I heard those two words, my heart was shocked.In fact, running away all the time really won't solve the problem, I should find Gu Shang to settle it.

I understand the truth, but I dare not.

I sighed, "I'll talk to him in a few days..."

"If you don't want to go, I can go for you." Xu Xiaomo said suddenly.

The man's voice seems to have the power to soothe people's hearts, at least now it really reassures me a lot.

"It's okay," I told him, "I can do it myself."

Xu Xiaomo returned the phone to me without saying anything.

It wasn't until the third night that I worked up the courage to turn on the phone.As expected, after booting, the interface is full of reminders of missed calls.

The strange thing is that Gu Shang didn't send a message, but chose to keep making calls, which was still a phone that was turned off.

Not wanting to think about it any further, I called back after I calmed down.

The answer over there was quick, "Ling Jingchuan?"

The man's voice seemed hoarse, but excited.

Obviously I haven't heard this person's voice for three days, but it gives me the feeling that three years have passed.

I closed my eyes, took another deep breath, and finally said:

"Gu Shang, I want to talk to you."

"Can you talk to me this time?"
