Alley

One month later, Shu Yi and Duan Yiping boarded the flight to City B.

Shu Yi has lived in this city for 35 years and has never had his own house.His home had long since disappeared in his vague childhood, and in the following years, it was just a leaf of duckweed drifting with the tide.

For 35 years, only a suitcase left with him in the end.

Colleagues from the research institute all came to see him off. Shu Yi has no relatives here. His adoptive mother passed away a few years ago, and he has no real estate of his own. There is a high probability that he will never come back.

Although it was a farewell, the two of them were considered to be promoted after all, and they would often have opportunities to cooperate with colleagues in the institute in the future, so the atmosphere was not sad, and everyone was laughing and joking.Duan Yiping answered the phone call, Shen Chen quietly stuffed a bottle of stuff into the comfortable bag when he saw it.

Facing Shu Yi's strange gaze, Shen Chen scratched his head and said embarrassedly, "I met Xiang Gong in the office two days ago, and he asked me to bring it to you. He said he has something to do today, so he won't come to see you off."

Shu Yi nodded numbly, Duan Yiping made a call over there, and said that it was almost time.After waving goodbye to his colleagues, Duan Yiping put his hand on Shu Yi's shoulder and led him to check in.

Originally, the institute could only reimburse the economy class, but Duan Yiping showed the platinum card and the two of them were directly upgraded to first class.Shu Yi sat by the window and watched the plane take off. The roads and buildings on the ground quickly became as small as building blocks, and the fuselage went straight into the sky.

Shu Yi also went on business trips to other cities in China, and even went abroad to attend various academic conferences. Every time he left before, he always came back, but this time, he didn't know when to return.

He finally left.

The flight attendant brought drinks, Shu Yi asked for a glass of warm water, and took out a box of multi-vitamin tablets from her bag.

Duan Yiping next to him raised his eyebrows, put down the newspaper in his hand and asked, "Xiao Yi, why are you taking this brand of vitamins? Have you finished eating the ones brought back from Australia? I still have them here. I'll give you two more bottles in City B." ?”

Shu Yi shook his head, "No, Xiang Yu gave it to me."

Duan Yiping choked up, stopped talking, raised the newspaper in his hand and wanted to read the report just now, but couldn't read it at all.

After the fire that day, Shu Yi closed the door of the hospital and talked for 5 minutes, and the two never saw each other again.

Duan Yiping chewed on Xiang Yu's strange words about asking Duan Yiping to take good care of Shu Yi in his heart countless times, not sure if he understood the meaning.

But no matter what, Shu Yi's willingness to go to City B with him is beyond Duan Yiping's dream.He felt that the dream he had for 15 years might finally come to an end, and Shu Yi finally let go.

Thinking of this, Duan Yiping felt relieved, he glanced at Shu Yi's side face, Shu Yi was staring out the window blankly with his chin propped on his forehead, time has never left any traces on Shu Yi's face, every inch is perfect to the point of meticulous care .

This person... is about to be his own.

Duan Yiping stroked the UHA juice candy prepared for Shu Yi in his pocket. Once a colleague brought this candy back from Japan as a present. He noticed that Shu Yi ate one and secretly took another.At that time, he smiled dumbly and silently remembered it in his heart.Since then, whenever friends or relatives around him have reasons to go to Japan, he always has the cheek to ask them to help bring a few more packs of fruit candy.

Duan Yiping recalled everything that happened on the day when he decided to confess his love to Shu Yi when he was young, as if it was just yesterday.But now, they are all old with the years.

Anyway, it's good that he's still by Shu Yi's side.

Shu Yi also didn't understand why Xiang Yu wanted to give him a bottle of vitamin tablets.

After the fire, he only met Xiang Yu once in the hospital. Xiang Yu's vocal cords were damaged, and he didn't even speak while wearing a ventilator.She just smiled at him effortlessly, squeezed his cold palm to comfort him.

Shu Yi is very grateful to Xiang Yu for saving his life.

However, he still mustered up the courage to tell Xiang Yu about his plan to go to City B. Unexpectedly, Xiang Yu did not have the excitement or opposition he imagined, but nodded gently, as if to say, go.

He left in a trance that day, and Xiang Yu never appeared again, just like the past 20 years, he disappeared without a trace in his life.

Vitamin is only a domestic brand. Shu Yi has seen it in big shopping malls before. His health products are always arranged by Duan Yiping. He usually eats European or Australian brands of health products, and has never tried domestic brands.

A total of 60 capsules, only enough to eat for two months.

With warm water, Shuyi swallowed vitamin tablets.He took out the packing box and planned to stuff the medicine bottle into it.Unexpectedly, the plane encountered a turbulence at this time and bumped up.

Shu Yi shook his hand, and a piece of letter paper caught in the manual fell lightly.

At a glance, you can only see some handwritten words written on the paper.After the bump passed, Shu Yi bent down to pick it up.He saw this written on the paper:

"Easy:

I don't know if you can see it, but let me call you that one last time.

Multi-vitamin tablets can supplement nutrition, remember to eat health care products on time every day.

Let me say sorry again, Yi Yi.This bottle of vitamins is 20 years late.

I owe you, I would like to pay you 20 years.

May you have a wonderful life, find a lover who will accompany you, and forget everything about the past.

I will still miss you every day, 20 years is not enough, just 30 or 40 years.Yi Yi, you don't need to be burdened, it doesn't matter, I always have time to waste for you.

A few more nagging words, just this time, can you listen obediently?Be sure to eat on time, don't work overtime at night too late, go to bed early, and eat less sugar.

Goodbye, Yi Yi, my baby, my little thrush, my only love in this life.

I hope you are happy, happy and healthy every day for the rest of your life.

Xiang Yu

Shu Yi burst into tears.

The tears fell in large swaths on the letter paper, hands and shirt, and they couldn't stop.

He breathed rapidly, inhaled heavily, trembling all over, trying to hold back but still let out a sob.

At this moment, everything around me is unimportant.

The flight attendant's strange and probing eyes, Duan Yiping's anxious concern, the roar of the plane's engine...all the sounds disappeared in his ears.

His heart hurts like hell.

It was as if being grabbed by a pair of big hands, kneaded, and crushed.

Countless cells in the body are clamoring, the fact that he has been thinking over and over again but desperately escaping——

He loves Xiang Yu.

He really did love Xiang Yu.

He loves Xiang Yu.

Whether it's 15, 25, or 35.

No matter in the alleys, on the university campus, or in the spring, summer, autumn and winter of the research institute.

He loves Xiang Yu.

He has long been used to being alone every day, but when he said to Yu that he would pay him 20 years, his heart hurt so bad that he couldn't breathe.

He can be cruel to himself, he can live like this for another 20 years, but he just can't bear to let Xiang Yu live like this.

At this moment, all the entanglement and self-deception are unimportant.

A month ago, Shu Yi was completely out of consciousness in the fire scene, just relying on instinct and risking his life to get back the candy Xiang Yu gave him on the last day 20 years ago.

That sugar has melted, re-solidified, melted, and re-solidified.He sealed the candy with sealing material, put it in a small box by itself, and placed it in the big jar he usually used to store sugar.The big jars are always filled with assorted candies, drowning out the little box.

Despite all those bullshit entanglements, hurts and self-denial, Shu Yi finally stopped being confused.

Yes, he loves Xiang Yu.

Together with the resentment, despair, complaints, and doubts of those years, all emotions are mixed together to form a unique and strong love.

"I want to go back."

Shu Yi's tears finally stopped, Duan Yiping had never seen him lose his composure like this, his heart sank when he saw the piece of paper in his hand, and he vaguely guessed the reason.

Duan Yiping still calmed down, "What happened?"

"I'm going back to find Xiang Yu."

Shu Yi has always been puzzled, whether liking someone is because of his characteristics, or because of the things they have experienced together.

If it's a characteristic, is it possible to find someone with a personality similar to Xiang Yu's and replace it;

If it is because of the things that he has experienced together, like what he said to Xiang Yu that day, is it someone else who reached out to him when he was young, he can also fall in love;

He has always felt pain because the shackles Xiang Yu imposed on him were too tight, and this love was too heavy after time, so he hated, escaped, and left.

After reading that letter, Shu Yi realized that his love was just love.No matter time and space, only that person can, no matter past, present or future.

This feeling is like sinking in the muddy muddy water for decades, and finally see the clear light one day.

Once a drowning man grabs a driftwood, he never lets go.

Xiang Yu is not driftwood, but the tree he lives on.

Duan Yiping was silent for a long time, and did not answer any more. For the first time in so many years, he felt resentment towards Shu Yi.

The two-hour flight was already very fast, and the two of them looked at each other for a long time without saying a word. The plane was about to land, and the pulleys were lowered into place. Duan Yiping took a deep breath, and wanted to turn around and ask: "Shu Yi, you know that I like you Do you know that I have loved you for so many years?"

He should have asked, Shu Yi owed him the answer to this question.

But he couldn't ask after all.Just whisper, "You decided?"

"Ah."

"Come back? I mean, go back to City B."

Shu Yi shook his head.

"What does the institute say?"

Shu Yi thought for a while, "Anything is fine, return to the original job, resign, whatever."

"Take this with you."

He took out the hot sugar in the bag. This is the last bag. Originally, he planned to go to Tokyo next May Day and take Shu Yi with him. The two of them could climb the Tokyo Tower, visit Sensoji Temple, and eat Japanese food together. .

Shu Yi blinked, and the slender eyelashes gently brushed the tear mole in the lower corner of his right eye, "No need, brother."

They walked out of the exit together, Shu Yi waved to Duan Yiping and said goodbye.

Duan Yiping looked at the thin and small figure that he had been guarding for so many years, took the elevator up, went to the departure floor, went to the counter, bought the return ticket for the nearest flight, and left without looking back.

He took out the bag of sugar, he had never tasted it before, it was soft candy, it was soft and fragrant, and there was a strong scent of grapes, and he took one and put it in his mouth.

Tasty?

Why is it so hard...

At ten o'clock in the evening, Shu Yi had been sitting in front of Xiang Yu's house for four hours.

The cold wind came in from the window cracks in the hallway. Shu Yi tried several times to close the windows but failed. He was tired, hungry and cold, shivering at the door, leaning against the cold anti-theft door, curled up .

Impulsively, he didn't even pick up his luggage, and went directly to the airline counter on the departure floor of City B Airport to buy a ticket. The lady at the counter said with a smile that only the first-class cabin was left on the latest flight, and the full-price ticket was only 5600 yuan.Shu Yi was taken aback by the price, but still took out his wallet and swiped his card.

When he got on the plane, he was embarrassed to find that the return plane was the one he had flown from, and the crew members were all the same.The first-class stewardess was so impressed with this handsome and strange guest that she squatted beside him after he took his seat and asked him if he needed help.

During the two-hour trip, he was so anxious that he kept thinking about seeing Xiang Yu, but he didn't know what to say or what to do after seeing him.In fact, the first-class cabin can use the in-flight wifi, but Fan Shuyi has a little sense, he should call Xiang Yu before the plane takes off, or at least use WeChat to contact him on the plane.

So when he stood at the exit of the airport, he was at a loss as to where to go.

Shu Yi decided to try his luck at Yu's house, he only knew the address, at least even if he was not at home temporarily, he would go back after work.

Another hour's drive.In the whole day, he went out to the airport in the morning, flew to city B, rushed back from city B non-stop, and then drove to Xiang Yu's house, it took him a full ten hours.

It was as if he and Xiang Yu went around and around, but fortunately Shu Yi finally came back.

The road was bumpy, old, her waist was so sore, Shu Yi was tired and sleepy, and her phone was running out of battery.

The impulsive blood has begun to cool down gradually. He tried to call Xiang Yu, but it was the prompt sound of Xiang Yu turning off the phone.The key to Xiang Yu's house was returned to Xiang Yu long ago when they broke up, and now Shu Yi was shivering and sitting on the cold tiled floor, thinking wildly.

——It's already nine o'clock in the evening, why hasn't Xiang Yu come home yet?What if he... doesn't live here anymore?

——Why did Xiang Yu shut down the phone?Does he still want to see himself?

Shu Yi clenched his fingers unconsciously, and the hem of the coat had been wrinkled by him.

At this moment, he turned out to be like a child worrying about gains and losses.He is 35 years old, and all the composure he has built over the years has collapsed in this second, and the boy left behind seems to be 15 years old, still afraid of being abandoned and eager to be loved.

He began to regret why he didn't call Xiang Yu in City B to express his feelings.He was afraid that he would miss it just like that, as if he would never wait for that person to appear again.

The sensor light in the corridor was on, but it was dark again in front of my eyes.

The person in front of him stood in front of him with a cold air, Shu Yi raised his head, he was surrounded by the shadow, and he couldn't see Xiang Yu's expression clearly.

He heard Xiang Yu let out a breath, then he squatted down slowly, the shadows disappeared, the lights at the top of the corridor suddenly dazzled, Shu Yi squinted his eyes.

The lines of Xiang Yu's eyes are still so clean and neat, just like when Shu Yi first met him in 1999, always with a determined and calm expression, but a charming and gentle smile.

"Welcome home, my little thrush."

Shu Yi has solved many problems over the years, but still can't solve Xiang Yu's question.

It doesn't matter, he thought, he still has a lifetime to solve it.

-----End of 1999-2019 Shu Yi------

The author has something to say: *There are two extra episodes, the first extra episode has more boat scenes, so I won’t release it here, cuties who have reached the age of 18 can go to wb to watch (ID: Egg Yolk DDDH); if you watch It doesn’t matter if it doesn’t matter, I will explain in the episode that Xiang Yu was at the airport all day, he didn’t know what time Shu Yi’s plane was, so he wanted to take a sneak peek, but he didn’t expect Shu Yi to miss it; Putting on a mask of gentle hypocrisy, facing the lost and recovered Shu Yi, he turned into a beast sauce.

The second episode is the parallel world of Duan Yiping X Shuyi, don't watch it if you don't like it.

This article is actually not very easy to write, I just wanted to write a small short story.The opportunity was that I would pass by a shopping mall every day at work, and it was almost the Chinese New Year, but a big rabbit was placed at the entrance of the shopping mall—it was obviously the Year of the Pig, did I cross it?So this is the rudiment of this story, which only comes from a little whimsy.

Unexpectedly, after I had conceived and written Xiangyu's part, Shuyi's part would keep popping into my mind.Every day Shuyi twists my shoulders and shakes me in my mind, yelling at me: Is this the end? !Do you care if I have suffered so much all these years? !Why do you think we will be able to live happily together, prince and prince, in 20 years!

Shu Yi's character design and behavior seem to exist in this world. I just wrote down his story truthfully, and there was almost no excessive design on the plot, and it was done in one go.The interlacing of the past and the present is also tried to follow a logical line, and the emotional ups and downs are also presented as much as possible (poor writing, please forgive me).Outside of the article, I won't explain too much.

I don't know if some readers will think that Shu Yi is quite scum in the later stage?I personally think (of course every reader has their own point of view), Shu Yi is indeed a very selfish and self-centered person in terms of character; People who are indifferent and don't care even care about their own academic future, but they love Shu Yi so much that they are paranoid and unwilling to let go.The two of them have different understandings and reactions to love, so I won't go into details here.

Anyway, thank you very much for reading here.bow!The whole text of this article was actually quite depressing, and it got a little better at the end.In the next article, I plan to let myself go and write an old-fashioned and vulgar ABO. Marriage first and then love, AO love, misunderstood dog blood, you love me, I don’t love you, chasing wives and crematoriums are flying all over the sky. If you are interested, please support it!Thanks!
