There was a little river between them, and there were no boats to go to, or bridges to cross, nothing.

Ji Shu was injured, and it was inconvenient to take a shower. He took the shower in his hand and rinsed it, with an absent-minded expression.The water touched his knees, he gasped in pain, frowned and turned off the water, picked up a towel and wiped the water stains on his body.

After getting dressed, Ji Shu thought for a long time before slowly opening the door.

Ji Yuedong sat on the sofa, his body half bent, his long legs slightly bent, his shirt sticking to his muscles, and his pants tight.He held an unlit cigarette in one hand, and slid his phone in the other. His hair was half-wet, and his profile was handsome, like a painting.Ji Shu walked up to him, took the cigarette in his hand, Ji Yuedong raised his head, and Ji Shu asked him: "Where is the fire?"

Ji Yuedong gave him the zippo, Ji Shu ignited it, took a sip slowly, and looked dazed.He took the cigarette and sniffed it at the tip of his nose, pressed his tongue against his lower gum, and asked in a low voice, "Peach flavor?"

"I'm used to it."

"There's nothing you're not used to." After Ji Shu finished speaking, he threw the zippo to him, and fled back to the room with the cigarette in his mouth.

He didn't come out the whole night after that, the house's sound insulation was not good, so he lay in bed and didn't sleep all night.

There was no movement in the living room, he imagined what Ji Yuedong was doing, but after being separated for too long, he had lost his imagination of Ji Yuedong.

In the morning, when it was light, Ji Shu finally couldn't help it, and fell asleep in a daze.

A dream squeezed into the hazy sleepiness, he kept walking in the dream, and there was a road ahead with no end in sight, he was alone, feeling helpless in his heart.He thought that he was not a strong person in the first place, he liked a comfortable life, he liked to lie in bed and sleep late, he liked not to go out all day on rainy days, and he also liked to act like a baby to Ji Yuedong without any scruples.

But it's not easy, as he grew up, he also began to understand Ji Yuedong's concerns.Just like he didn't know Tomson before, but he understood everything when he grew up.

Living in this world, everyone is involuntary.

However, even if he can understand it, it doesn't mean he can accept it.He desperately wanted to prove that he could, that he could afford this love.He was looking forward to growing up, looking forward to loving Ji Yuedong, but Ji Yuedong left him without stopping when he became an adult.

Ji Shu woke up from his dream. He buried his face in the pillow, pressing all the soreness at the tip of his nose together.

There was a few knocks on the door, and Ji Yuedong's voice entered Ji Shu's heart through a door. He said, "Xiao Shu, are you awake? I made porridge, do you want some?"

Ji Shu was startled, like a hamster, raised his head with a "swoosh".He looked out the door, covered his mouth, and said dryly, "I don't want to drink."

"Then I'm warming it in the rice cooker. If you're hungry, go and eat." He said and walked into the kitchen.

Hearing his footsteps fading away, Ji Shu froze for a few seconds, then sat up, his knee scraped to the edge of the bed, and he yelled.His calf was throbbing, and his body fell straight forward, falling under the bed.

His eyes were red with pain, and he lay on the ground, wondering if Ji Yuedong was leaving again.

The door was pushed open suddenly, and Ji Shu's body was scooped up by a pair of hands. He had obviously grown a lot taller, but his weight was not much bigger than when he was in high school. He was still a little lamb.Ji Shu held him in the palm of his hand, Ji Shu's heart was flooded, and the river flooded and drowned him.

"Why did you fall?"

"Leg hurts, I can't stand still."

"Let me see." Ji Yuedong pinched his calf, and handed it to his eyes, the gauze on his knee was bloodshot, Ji Yuedong said: "I'm going to the hospital to re-bandage."

Ji Shu was silent, Ji Yuedong looked down his knees and landed on his slender ankle, which was wrapped with a small chain that could be held with one hand.

The edge of the chain was frayed and white, and Ji Yuedong originally had one, but he lost it when he almost died in the desert.They bought it together when they were playing in Florida.

He said sorry to him, Ji Shu pushed him away, and slowly got up shaking himself.He looked down at Ji Yuedong and said to him: "You don't need to apologize to me, you are not wrong, you just don't love me."

He has really grown up and will not force these things anymore.

Seeing his reddened lower eyelids, Ji Yuedong took a slow breath.He really didn't know how to face Ji Shu. He brought Ji Shu back from Switzerland and watched him grow up. He gave Ji Shu some happiness and deprived him of some happiness.He never asked Ji Shu to be anything, and he didn't like Ji Shu to be a rose in the greenhouse.

He has been away for five years. Ji Shu has indeed grown up. He has been admitted to medical school. He will become a doctor in the future. He is good enough and will become strong enough.This kind of growth is what Ji Yuedong is looking forward to, and it is also what he loves.He stretched out his hand to caress Ji Shu's wrist, rubbing the scar on his wrist, and said, "You have grown up."

Like the riddle of opening the treasure door in "Alibaba and the Forty Thieves", when he said this sentence, there was a "click", and the lock in his heart fell off.

Ji Shu stared at him blankly, Ji Yuedong stood up without letting go, and said to Ji Shu, "Let's go, go to the hospital first."

Went to the hospital to re-bandage, the gauze was removed and a new one was put on, the flesh on the knee was bloodshot, and Ji Shu's shoulders were shaking with pain.Ji Yuedong held his back. If it was before, Ji Shu would bury him in his arms, rubbing against him like a small animal and acting like a baby.

But now he didn't dare anymore, he tightened his shoulders to make himself less vulnerable.

Coming out of the hospital, Ji Yuedong said to buy some clothes.He came in a hurry without bringing anything.Ji Shu walked beside him, looking sideways at the projection in the glass of the shop, their figures intertwined, like one person.

In the afternoon, Ji Shu had to go to school. He asked for a few days off work, and their schoolwork was not easy. Until now, he still felt that he was not suitable for studying.At that time, the admission to this school was all based on an obsession, but all these thoughts disappeared after Ji Yuedong left.

It was very difficult for me to study in the medical university, and he was not good at both the memorization and the operation.For a long time, he stayed at his desk and woke up at dawn, with several open books at hand, he reached out to touch them, picked them up and continued to read.

Such days seem to be endless, especially when he is an adult, he is out of tune with the surroundings, which makes him feel exhausted and increasingly world-weary.

After taking a taxi, the car stopped at the school gate. Ji Shu got out of the car, pulled the car door, lowered his head and said, "I have four classes in the afternoon. If you want to leave, please tell me."

Ji Yuedong was taken aback, he opened his mouth, and Ji Shu had already closed the car door.

The driver in front asked him where he was going, and he said, "Just stop in front."

The car stopped at the intersection, Ji Yuedong got off the car, walked to the coffee shop opposite the school, ordered a cup of coffee, and sat there all afternoon.

Ji Shu was sitting by the window, the sun was shining outside, the shadows of the trees were dancing, and a few sparrows were sitting on the treetops.Ji Shu stared blankly, his thoughts wandering, when his arm was suddenly touched, he reacted and looked sideways.It was a girl, and he looked at her face without any impression.

The other party whispered, "Are your eyes uncomfortable? Tears are streaming."

Ji Shu immediately lowered his head and wiped away the tears from the corners of his eyes with his hands. He turned his head away and said in a low voice, "The sun is too dazzling."

He asked the classmates around him to borrow the notes from the previous class. When the class was about to end, he received a message from Ji Yuedong, saying that he was waiting for him at the door.

Ji Shu stared at the message, and after a long time, he let out a long sigh of relief.

Ji Yuedong held two paper bags in his left hand, and subconsciously touched the pockets with his right hand, only to realize that the cigarette case was in the changed clothes.Just at this time, the students came out of the teaching building, Ji Yuedong squinted his eyes and looked over, and found Ji Shu in the crowd at a glance.

The child was exactly the same as before, walking slowly in the crowd, when someone squeezed him from behind, he gave way to the side.

Ji Yuedong walked forward quickly, Ji Shu saw him frozen in place, Ji Yuedong came to him and said to him: "Go home."

Ji Shu lowered his eyes to look at Ji Yuedong's hand that was handed over to him, he let out a "hmm" and walked straight over.

He lives just a few subway stops away from the school. Ji Shu pointed to the subway entrance not far away, "Go and take the subway."

It was impossible for Ji Yuedong to say no, and obediently followed behind Ji Shu.In the evening rush hour after get off work, the crowd was bustling and crowded. Ji Yuedong took the subway for the first time. He hesitated outside the station entrance. Ji Shu took a look at him and bought a subway card for him with his mobile phone.

Entering the station, there was a huge crowd of people, and Ji Shu was pushed forward.Ji Yuedong opened his hands to protect him, Ji Shu's back bumped back, his shoulders tightened, he heard Ji Yuedong's breathing, swallowed his saliva and wanted Ji Yuedong to let him go.

At this time, the notification sounded that the train was entering the station, and the people behind squeezed forward, Ji Yuedong suddenly leaned forward and stood still, he leaned down to Ji Shu's ear, breathing hot, he asked: "Did you touch the wound? Does it hurt?"

Ji Shu's lips trembled. He bit his tongue. After a few seconds, he shook his head and said softly, "No...it doesn't hurt."

The door opened and they crowded into the car.Ji Shu stood in the corner, and Ji Yuedong put his hand on his side, blocking the people who kept pushing behind him.Ji Shu opened his eyelids, looking at Ji Yuedong's chin with a layer of blue beard.The train stopped, the door opened again, more people came in, Ji Yuedong took a few steps forward.

They got closer, and Ji Shu smelled his scent, and the peach scent enveloped him.Maybe it was because of the stuffy heat in the carriage, his head was sunburned, his nose fluttered, and when he realized it, his forehead had already sunk into Ji Yuedong's shoulder.Ji Yuedong bowed his head, Ji Shu's hair was hanging down, soft and soft in the palm of his hand.

Ji Yuedong asked him if he was tired, but Ji Shu said nothing.The train shook, and in a corner, their bodies were close together. Ji Shu heard the station's announcement, but didn't make a sound.After a few stops, the crowd gradually decreased, Ji Yuedong asked him: "How many stops do we have?"

Ji Shu's consciousness came back, he poked his head out of Ji Yuedong's arms, glanced at the empty carriage, lowered his eyebrows and lowered his eyes to stare at the buttons on his clothes, and whispered, "I've sat and stood."

"Have you been at the station?" Ji Yuedong was taken aback for a moment, just at that moment the car door opened, he heard the sound of the broadcast, and they hugged to the terminal directly.

Ji Yuedong didn't expect that he would oversit on the subway for the first time and go straight to the terminal station. He got out of the carriage, and Ji Shu followed slowly. Ji Yuedong said, "What should we do now?"

Ji Shu stepped forward and took his hand, "Let's go, sit on the opposite side."

At the last stop, a whole carriage was theirs.

Sitting side by side, the train drove into the tunnel, and Ji Shu looked at the reflection on the opposite glass.Ji Yuedong raised his eyes, and Ji Shu immediately lowered his head again. After a stop, he quietly opened his eyelids again, peeking at Ji Yuedong in the reflection one after another.

Indistinct and mixed with dark halos, Ji Yuedong's outline is deep, and a light layer of light occasionally falls on the bridge of his tall nose, illuminating his deep eye sockets.Ji Shu stared at the reflection, he said to himself, just take one look, and just take another look.

Staring cautiously, with loose and casual eyes, casual glances, and finally captured by the owner of the reflection.Ji Yuedong's face came close to his eyes, and his eyes met. Ji Shu opened his eyes wide and heard Ji Yuedong ask him, "What are you looking at?"

He was too frightened to speak, as if he was back in his youth, secretly fond of being discovered.

But Ji Yuedong's eyes were still so loving and gentle, his hesitation fell into these eyes, he leaned forward and whispered something, the train rumbled past, drowning his voice as thin as a gnat.

"What did you just say?" Ji Yuedong asked in a low voice.

Ji Shu said to him: "Don't be so nice to me, I will be greedy and want more."

In the empty carriage, the two of them were silent, a pale light fell on Ji Shu's face.His lower eyelids were slightly red, as if he had cried or was about to cry, but he had habitually hidden his vulnerable side, he endured the soreness at the tip of his nose, he said and repeated.

Ji Yuedong was at a loss for words, his child had thousands of intricate thoughts, so delicate and so sensitive.And he is just a person who has been walking in the dark for a long time, he has always come here in a chaotic state, love is an extinguished fire in his heart.

He used to think that loving someone was the most difficult thing in the world, but after he fell in love, he realized that not loving is... the most difficult thing.

It's like a wild animal falls in love with a rose and puts away its sharp claws, but still hurts the rose because of its clumsiness.He can't hug, he can't kiss, all he can do is run away.But he forgot that it was his stretched body and paws that shielded Little Rose from the wind and rain.

The train slowly arrived at the station, Ji Shu struggled to get up from the soft swamp, and he walked out.

He walked this way home for five full years, and he never felt a sense of belonging in a strange city, but now the people around him came back and swept his life.After leaving the station, Ji Yuedong was a little faster than him, and stretched out his hand towards him.

Ji Shu stared at his palm, his heart was beating fast, he took a step forward, his eyelashes cast shadows, like a kitten stretching out its paws, and handed it out.

At the subway station where people come and go, they stood still, as if they had returned to the night in Switzerland. The tall man took over the ignorant teenager.

Once again, Ji Shu handed himself over to Ji Yuedong.
