Domestic dog

After the college entrance examination, Ji Shu slept at home for a whole day.After waking up, he was also groggy, the air conditioner in the room was rustling, and his bones ached from sleeping on the mat. He pulled the sheet around his body, like making rice dumplings, and fell asleep for a while, until the sound downstairs woke him up. over him.

He woke up rubbing his eyes, turned off the air conditioner, stepped on his slippers and walked out lightly.The toothbrush was still in his mouth. Hearing Ji Yuedong's voice, Ji Shu rushed downstairs with a mouthful of foam in his mouth.Ji Yuedong carried two watermelons into the house, and when he saw the small missile rushing towards him, he immediately shouted: "Stop, stop."

Ji Shu could barely brake, he circled around Ji Yuedong, and asked him with a smile: "When did you come back?"

"I got home in the morning. I saw that you were sleeping soundly, so I didn't call you." He carried the watermelon and walked into the kitchen. "I bought two watermelons and I will eat them later."

Ji Yuedong walked to the living room, and Ji Shu followed him like a little tail, and he followed Ji Yuedong wherever he went.They sat down on the sofa, Ji Yuedong looked at the pajamas on him, and touched the mat marks on Ji Shu's face with his hand, "Did you just wake up?"

Ji Shu put his face in his palm, brushed his lips lightly, and he nodded his head, showing a tired look.

Ji Shu told him that there was more than half a month before he could check the score. Ji Yuedong estimated the time and said to him, "I may not be in China at that time."

"It's okay, I'll go to Switzerland first and wait for you there." Ji Shu held Ji Yuedong's face in both hands, their eyes met, and Ji Shu got closer.Ji Yuedong's shoulders gradually tightened. Ji Shu lowered his head. He didn't cross the line, but just pressed his forehead to it. He said softly, "I'll wait for you."

The watermelon Ji Yuedong brought back was very sweet, and it became even sweeter when it cooled after being taken out of the refrigerator. Ji Shu scooped up half of it with a spoon, and it made his stomach feel cold after eating it.He covered his stomach and drank a lot of hot water, and his lower abdomen started to hurt in the middle of the night.The soreness made him feel cold all over, and a layer of sweat appeared on his face. Ji Shu curled up into a ball, and couldn't stand it after a long time. He got off the bed with a ball of quilts in his arms, and stumbled to Ji Yue's east room inside.

Ji Yuedong was still asleep, leaning against the head of the bed, turning on a small light, half-closed his eyes, with a cigarette in his mouth, looking at his phone with one hand slipping.

The door opened without warning, he was taken aback, saw that it was Ji Shu, immediately put out the cigarette, and threw the phone aside.

"what happened?"

Ji Yuedong got off the bed, he went to the window and opened the glass, waving away the smell of cigarettes.Ji Shuzha fell into his arms, shaking uncontrollably. He said, "My stomach hurts."

"Did you eat your stomach?"

Ji Shu shook his head, "It's not like that, but it just hurts."

Ji Yuedong picked him up, Ji Shu, who was so tall, seemed to be still a child in his eyes.He carried him to the bed, sat beside him, pressed his fingers on several places on his stomach, and asked him, "Where does it hurt?"

Ji Shu pointed at the bottom of his belly, Ji Yuedong frowned, Ji Shu tore off his pajamas, stretched out his hand and took Ji Yuedong's hand to cover his lower abdomen.The wide and warm palms were pressed against the icy cold abdomen, Ji Shu raised his head, and Ji Yuedong seemed to understand.Silence spread between them, a trace of unbreakable ambiguity seemed to be deeply rooted in a tree, Ji Shu's heart was beating fast, he asked Ji Yuedong, "Am I weird?"

Ji Yuedong's breathing was stagnant, and he wanted to back away, so Ji Shu grabbed his finger and pressed down hard.

He seemed to disregard everything in front of Ji Yuedong, and he threw away his self-esteem and shame. He flattened himself completely, and said: "There is a pair of female organs in it, the doctor who checked me last month told me , I have developed very well, if I can, I can also be a woman."

Ji Yuedong's heart seemed to be cut open by an axe. The person holding the ax was Ji Shu. He asked in a deep voice, "Do you know what you are talking about?"

"I know, I mean, if you don't like boys, I can be a girl, as long as you can accept me."

"You can't say these words, this is not what you should say." Ji Yuedong withdrew his hand, picked up the blanket beside him and threw it on him.

Seeing that he was about to leave, Ji Shu quickly got up and called him, "You still don't like me, do you want to leave?"

"I won't go, I'll get you a cup of hot water."

The door was gently closed, and Ji Shu was left alone in the room. He was lying on Ji Yuedong's bed, as if floating in the sea. He couldn't swim, and the only piece of wood he was holding was blown away by the waves. So he kept sinking and sank to the bottom of the valley.

In mid-June, he found his score, which was two points more than he estimated.He clenched his fists and restrained his agitated heart, but he still couldn't help bouncing around the room several times.

He ran downstairs, hugged Dordo, and plunged into the furry body of the big rabbit. He spun Dordo in his arms, and the Angora rabbit was thrown into the air by him trembling. Ji Shu yelled at Ji Yuedong name.

Two days later, he booked a ticket to Switzerland, and before boarding the plane, he sent a message to Ji Yuedong, saying, "I'll be waiting for you in Switzerland."

Uncle Liang bought some bread and milk, and he walked across the path. Recently, the branches and leaves in front of the building have grown a lot.He pushed open the door, said to ask the gardener to trim the branches, and put the milk and bread on the small table. He looked at Ji Shu, who was curled up on the sofa, motionless.

Uncle Liang sighed, walked up to Ji Shu, patted Ji Shu on the shoulder, and said in a low voice, "Xiao Shu, he won't come. He came to take care of you back then because of your father's will. Ji Yue Dong only needs to take care of you until he reaches adulthood, and he can get half of Ji's property, now that you have grown up, he is free."

Ji Shu's body shook, and he retracted into his snail shell, not saying a word, occasionally weeping in pain.

On the last late night in Switzerland, half a world away, he dialed a number that was about to be broken, and this time he connected.

Ji Yuedong's voice was shallow, Ji Shuguang couldn't restrain himself after hearing his breathing, he grabbed the quilt and stuffed himself inside.The air became thinner, the tip of his nose was sore, he took a deep breath, his teeth were almost gnawed, and he asked in a low voice, "Will you terminate the custody relationship with me?"

After waiting for a long time, there was a "hmm", Ji Shu bit her lower lip, moved the phone away, and covered her face with the quilt.For a long time or a short time, he pulled back the quilt and got off the bed, but because he couldn't stand firmly, he fell to the ground with a "slap".

His knee hit the ground directly, he couldn't get up in pain, his face was pressed to the ground, tears fell directly, one drop, two drops and three drops gathered into a pool, he picked up the phone and said in a low voice, "You are because of the will Did you just come to Switzerland?"

"Ah."

He bit the flesh on his wrist, leaving a bloody tooth mark, and the pain made him briefly awake.He suppressed his sobs, turned over, and stared blankly at the dark night above, he said: "I really like you, not a child's joke, but a love that wants to spend the rest of my life with you. But... even if I Try hard, you still have to leave me, you don't believe me, you don't love me either."

After saying this, he hung up the phone.

Zheng Yuan sometimes dislikes Ji Yuedong, thinking that this person doesn't know how to adapt.Ji Guande used him so much and treated him like a dog, but because of the kindness of saving his life, he obeyed Ji Guande's arrangements. He even took care of the child left behind after Ji Guande's death for three years .

"You just leave like this? Don't want anything?"

Ji Yuedong didn't have much luggage. He was wearing a navy blue shirt, a pair of light brown trousers, a black box, sunglasses, and his hair was shaved very short. Hearing Zheng Yuan's words, he said, "You don't know what to say. Asked me no less than twenty times."

"Brother, I am anxious for you, you have no money, what should you do?"

Ji Yuedong smiled, he took off his sunglasses, and looked sideways at Zheng Yuan, "Did you really think I didn't have my own business for so many years? I made a lot of money investing in real estate, and I still have a few real estate and stores in Beijing. I recently invested in a new energy project, and the market is very promising.”

They are all completely different fields from Ji's family. Ji Yuedong hid these things so deeply that even Zheng Yuan didn't know about them. Until now when Ji Yuedong talked about it, he opened his eyes wide, with an expression of disbelief .

Ji Yuedong tapped Zheng Yuan's chest with his sunglasses, and he said, "Don't worry, even if I leave Ji's house, I'm still richer than you now."

Zheng Yuan said goodbye to him at the pass, and Ji Yuedong walked in, like the curtain of a stage play, the audience left, and the busy sound in the middle of the night gave the play an ending.

He gave himself a long vacation and went to many places.Watching the aurora in Iceland, lying on the RV and staring at the moving nebula, walking on the beach to listen to the tide and waves, going to the desert and rolling down the sand dunes, the whole body hurts, curled up and unfolded, looking at the dazzling sun, he Close your eyes and feel empty.

It's not like traveling, but like a long and lonely exile.

Occasionally, late at night, he would look through his memory and pick up the sporadic time he spent with Ji Shu.It is the fragmented time wrapped in fructose, and three years of laughter are worth his 30 years.

Zheng Yuan would come to him every once in a while, chatting and chatting, talking about domestic affairs, his being urged to marry, talking about his engagement but being regretted by the woman, talking about someone he really fell in love with. , Then get drunk and cry bitterly.

In front of Ji Yuedong's emotional advisor, people who are not good at it go to comfort the prodigal son who is good at it. Ji Yuedong talked in the middle of the night, and Zheng Yuan suddenly yelled, "Fuck your love."

They hung up the phone, and Ji Yuedong sat by the window with a wine bottle.At three o'clock in New York, the night scene was still bright. He drank the wine and fell asleep on the glass.

The bottle fell to the floor, and he didn't wake up.

Days like this are like wrinkles in the heart, ironed out meticulously.He was going back to the way he was before, but... it was really difficult.

It was three or four rainy seasons and spring and autumn when he left him, and time can smooth everything out.At the last stop, Ji Yuedong left Kenya, lost half of himself in the East African Rift Valley, and kept the little boy in his heart forever.
