you are with the light

Chen Ke sometimes sighs that fate is really a wonderful thing, because you can never guess whether you will meet someone you haven't seen for almost ten years in the next moment.

Meng Dujiang looked very pleasantly surprised: "You don't look changed at all, I recognized you right away."

Chen Ke didn't recognize it at first, Meng Dujiang's change is really too great.First, the appearance, and then the temperament. The whole thing has undergone an earth-shaking change. He only felt familiar after a glance, but if Meng Dujiang hadn't called him, he wouldn't have dared to recognize him easily.

It was a coincidence that when Chen Ke came for an interview, the owner of the hotel happened to be Meng Dujiang. Meng Dujiang said, "I'm short of people, so you're here. What's this called, Timely Rain."

It is an exaggeration to say that it is raining in time, but the lack of people is true.Based on the somewhat friendly relationship between the two, Chen Ke successfully joined the job.Although he was not the chef, it was much better than he had expected.Meng Dujiang asked for Chen Ke's phone number, and Chen Ke said, "I don't have one."

"No? How can you do without a phone? How do you usually contact people?" Meng Dujiang seemed a little surprised, and then smiled again, "Just right, I'll take you to buy one, as a meeting gift."

"No need." Chen Ke is not used to his enthusiasm. Although this enthusiasm is not malicious, it always makes him feel a little uncomfortable.

Meng Dujiang persisted for a while, seeing that Chen Ke was firm, he stopped saying anything.

"Are you free tonight, can you have dinner with me?" Meng Dujiang asked again.

"No," Chen Ke said, "Xiaobei is waiting for me at home."

"Xiaobei?" Meng Dujiang was really stunned at the moment, "Your son." He looked at Chen Ke with some regret, and the eagerness in his heart subsided a lot.

Chen Ke didn't know the twists and turns in Meng Dujiang's heart, so he explained casually: "No, it's me...brother?" In the end he hesitated, but he still said it.

"That's it." Meng Dujiang's mood improved, "I just called your brother over, the three of us have a meal together, let him get to know me, and I can help some tomorrow."

"You don't need to help me." Chen Ke thought for a while, and agreed, "It's fine to have a meal."

After work, Meng Dujiang drove Chen Ke home.He wasn't too surprised when he got there, he just said, "My friend has a house for rent, why don't you take a look, the price is not high."

Chen Ke shook his head: "Thank you, no need."

Meng Dujiang watched Chen Ke get off the car, and watched Chen Ke's back until he disappeared.He stroked his chin, showing a determined smile.

Who doesn't like a beautiful skin?Meng Dujiang thinks that he is a layman, and he can't talk about the so-called elegance. He never believes in the nonsense that if you love someone, you must love his soul. Woolen cloth.

Gu Jinbei didn't like Meng Dujiang at first sight. He always felt that the way this man looked at Chen Ke made him uncomfortable, as if his belongings were coveted.Meng Dujiang was naturally aware of Gu Jinbei's hostility, but he was much older and more tactful than Gu Jinbei. He shook hands with Gu Jinbei with a smile, and Gu Jinbei replied almost seamlessly. He smiled.

"People live in this world, they have to act. Comparing people means acting better than anyone else. Only the best actor can have the last laugh." Although Xia Yin died for many years, the words she left behind were widely accepted. Every word was engraved into Gu Jinbei's mind, blood, and muscles. Gu Jinbei tried to get rid of this influence, but he didn't seem to be very successful.

The two put on masks to compare their acting skills, but the only audience didn't care about it.When Chen Ke waited for Gu Jinbei to sit down, he stroked Gu Jinbei's hair smoothly: "I don't care about it anyway, my hair is all up."

"Lazy." Gu Jinbei said, his tone was very complacent, as if being too lazy to take care of his hair is something to be proud of and proud of, "It doesn't matter, just go to have a meal."

"When eating with people, you should dress decently, or you won't appear disrespectful." Meng Dujiang said abruptly, his tone was very soft, as if an elder was preaching, "You are eating with your Brother Meng this time. , I don't mind these things, next time I'm with others, they may not know how to criticize you behind your back."

Although these words were selfish, they made sense, and Gu Jinbei didn't want to quarrel with him, so he nodded obediently: "Okay, thank you Brother Meng."

When Gu Jinbei behaved well, he would give people a harmless illusion, as if he was stupid and naive, and even Meng Dujiang was almost deceived by him.But Meng Dujiang has also seen the world. He has worked hard for so many years, not to mention other skills, he still has the ability to judge people.

Gu Jinbei has a kind of ruthlessness in his body, and he has a small mind. If he loves it, he will get revenge, and he can pretend.

Meng Dujiang chose a small restaurant, and the three of them had a meal together.Although the restaurant is not big, the taste of the rice is not bad.Chefs like them can cook delicious food, but they don't like to eat very much. This time, Chen Ke fed himself up for the first time, spread out on a chair and rubbed his stomach, not wanting to talk.

"The food here is not bad," Meng Dujiang said with a smile, "I loved eating here at the time. It was delicious, and every time I ate it, I would come in and go out sideways."

Chen Ke said: "Their ingredients are different from other places."

"It's not the same." The boss came over and said, "This is a secret recipe passed down in our family. It has been passed down for several generations, and it has been passed down to me."

Meng Dujiang greeted the boss, the two knew each other well, the boss naturally sat down and chatted with Meng Dujiang.Meng Dujiang always turned the topic to Chen Ke, and he talked about Chen Ke in a hype, boasting that Chen Ke was as cold as Chen Ke, and felt a little embarrassed.

After dinner, Meng Dujiang took them past the Forbidden City again: "I'll bring you over when I'm free some other day. There are many places in Beijing, all of which are very interesting."

What he said was only about you, not about you, and he simply ignored Gu Jinbei.Gu Jinbei reached out and hooked Chen Ke's finger. Chen Ke turned his head to look at him, and the neon lights smoothly flicked across his face.

"what happened?"

"I want to go too." When Gu Jinbei was pretending to be pitiful, he would never worry about shame, and even when he was almost eighteen, he could pretend to be justified like when he was eight, "I want to go out with you too. "

In Meng Dujiang's eyes, this is really inferior and disgusting coquettishness, but Chen Ke is obviously very useful, he showed a soothing smile to Gu Jinbei: "Okay."

Meng Dujiang looked at the two people behind him through the rearview mirror, always feeling that he was emitting light and heat silently.He cleared his throat, breaking the harmonious and strange atmosphere between the two: "Hey, Xiao Chen, I have something I have been holding back until now, so I really want to ask you, that is, you and Xiaobei don't look very good Like, it's not a last name."

"Oh, we are not blood brothers." Chen Ke explained.

The speaker didn't care about the listener, and Meng Dujiang's heart suddenly sounded alarm bells.At this moment, he finally put Gu Jinbei in the category of rivals in a serious manner. The so-called closeness to the water first wins the moon, and this Gu Jinbei is not simple.

The summer night in the basement is a bit stuffy, and even the fan is turned on to blow waves of heat on the body.Gu Jinbei and Chen Ke lay on the same bed, and finally stopped approaching Chen Ke. He had something hidden in his heart, and he couldn't tell Chen Ke about it.

Meng Dujiang was in a suit and leather shoes, with a sleek back and a big back, and he was driving a car with a Beijing license plate. This made Gu Jinbei envious and inferior. He thought he could do the same, and let Chen Ke sit in the passenger seat. Seat, take him to the best future.

"I'll take a break in a few days, and I'll take you outside to buy a computer." Chen Ke broke the silence in the darkness, "There's still a mobile phone, you can also go and have a look."

Gu Jinbei said, "I don't need it."

"Why don't you need a computer? You need a computer to go to university." Chen Ke said, "My former classmate, Lu, was admitted to university, not Peking University, and his family also added computers and mobile phones. Now You are with me, just the two of us, if you don’t think you need it, when it’s time to go to school, you need it.”

Gu Jinbei bit his lower lip, feeling a little ashamed and angry.He wished that he would grow up quickly and grow into a towering tree that could shelter Chen Ke from wind and rain, instead of poking his head under Chen Ke's wings, and even having such nasty thoughts about Chen Ke.He was silent for a long time in the dark, and finally compromised with a hint of stubbornness: "The computer is fine, but the mobile phone is not needed."

Gu Jinbei didn't hide from Chen Ke that he went out to find a summer job, and Chen Ke didn't say anything, but his frowning and slightly guilty eyes still made Gu Jinbei feel uncomfortable.He reached out and tried to smooth the wrinkles between Chen Ke's eyebrows: "Why, are you unhappy?"

"No." Chen Ke shook his head, his brows subconsciously wrinkled again, and Gu Jinbei took the trouble to smooth it out.

"I'm almost eighteen, so I can't always be a child." Gu Jinbei said, "Even if you don't say anything, I will feel ashamed. Besides, other rich people's children will also be ashamed after graduation." How good it is to experience life as a summer job, think about it from another angle.”

These words made Chen Ke feel better. He always felt that no matter how big or tall Gu Jinbei was, in his heart he was still the little, pitiful kid squatting at the door poking ants, or on the way home from the river. He always wanted to protect the kid who said "Don't kill me" pitifully to him, for no reason, just like an older brother protecting his younger brother.

The long summer vacation passed quickly because of being busy, and it was time to start school in a blink of an eye.

Chen Ke sent Gu Jinbei to school, in name only, and Gu Jinbei carried everything by himself.Gu Jinbei handled everything by himself, while Chen Ke was guarding the box, as if he was the one who came here to report.When Gu Jinbei was busy, several little girls came over to strike up a conversation with Chen Ke, but Chen Ke's attitude was still indifferent, and the little girls quickly returned home.

Gu Jinbei reported his good name, picked up the suitcase and went to the dormitory with Chen Ke.Chen Ke wanted to help him, but Gu Jinbei turned his hand away and avoided: "I can move it."

Freshmen are required to live in accommodation, and sophomores can live outside after submitting an application.Gu Jinbei wanted to move out as soon as he was a freshman, but Chen Ke disagreed.

The new roommates looked pretty good, and they had dinner with their families in the evening, and the relationship quickly heated up.

Gu Jinbei didn't go back to the dormitory because he could stay outside for one night tonight.Chen Ke didn't understand what was wrong with him, so he couldn't live in a good dormitory, so he insisted on huddling with him in the stuffy basement.Gu Jinbei clung to him like a puppy at night, and said aggrievedly, "I can't bear you."

It's like a baby bird leaving the nest for the first time, terrified and looking forward to the unknown life.Gu Jinbei couldn't tell whether he was more fearful or more expectant. He hugged Chen Ke, but this time Chen Ke didn't push him away and let him hold him. It seemed that he was not alone in his reluctance.

"I'll come back to live on weekends." Gu Jinbei said, "I'll come to you when I'm free."

"Don't," Chen Ke said, "I'm busy. You study hard, don't run to me, and I'll find you in your dormitory when I'm free."

The two chatted for half a night, and in the end they didn't know whose voice weakened first or who closed their eyes first. In short, when the two woke up and looked at the time, it was already getting late.

The two went to the Forbidden City for a walk, there were quite a lot of people, and occasionally they ran into a little girl asking for contact information with Chen Ke.Gu Jinbei stood beside him, looking straight at the girl, his face turned red when he saw the little girl.

Naturally, no contact information was given.

Chen Ke didn't have a mobile phone, so he didn't have a phone number.Even if he really wanted to give it, he had the will but was powerless.After the little girl left in frustration, Gu Jinbei complained, "Am I not good-looking?"

Chen Ke laughed: "It's pretty."

Gu Jinbei is in line with most girls' fantasies of a sunny school girl, but Chen Ke's appearance can make people amazing at a glance, and he can't look away from others.

The two people walked together and attracted a lot of attention, but few of them really dared to step forward.The two walked slowly along the base of the palace wall, almost giving people the illusion that the years are quiet and the world is stable.

Gu Jinbei suffered from insomnia on the first night of living in the school.

He misses Chen Ke very much, wants to see him at a glance when he turns around, and hugs him as soon as he stretches out his arms, but without Chen Ke by his side tonight, all these can only become futile fantasies.

He seems to have glimpsed a corner of this feeling, or he has already glimpsed it, but he just doesn't want to reveal it easily.What does it feel like to like someone, what does it feel like to love someone, the first time he came into contact with him, he was a little confused, and he couldn't even tell whether this feeling was like or love.

He thought of Xia Yin.

This woman once said to him: "The first time I saw Gu Zhong, I was willing to sink into the dust for him, and then bloom again."

"I love him."

The word love is short but heavy. For Gu Jinbei now, it is too difficult to bear.He thought about it all night, and finally decided to judge this relationship as liking.

Gu Jinbei likes Chen Ke.

When it was dawn, Gu Jinbei fell asleep contentedly.The feelings that have been struggling for months have a clear path at this moment, and it turns out that it is so happy to recognize my heart.Gu Jinbei couldn't help showing a smile in his sleep.

At this moment, he doesn't care about the sky and the earth, human relations and principles, let alone how shocking the world is when he likes to say it in his heart, he just thinks of Chen Ke, and there is a sea of ​​roses in his dream.

It turns out that this is the feeling of liking someone.
