stay gold

June 2012, Gu Ren's second month in Hiroshima.

I forgot to hear who said that if a person falls into the water, if he does not struggle, he can float out.

The water in the Seto Inland Sea is very clear, Gu Ren wanted to try it.This kind of brain-twitching thing has to be done when no one is around, preferably at night.

However, when he went, the best position had already been taken first.

Even though the moon was quite big and the sea was glowing with light, Gu Ren still didn't see what it was floating in the sea, anyway, it was probably a personal shadow, cursed secretly in his heart, turned around and wanted to run away.I tripped over someone who didn't know what was under my feet, and the whole person lay on the ground and gnawed the sea sand on his face.

When lying on the ground, Gu Ren's mind suddenly came up with someone's words, "Saving a life is better than building a seven-level pagoda." What if it was alive.

In order not to let herself hesitate, Gu Ren got up with grinning teeth, took off her shoes and ran towards the sea like a monkey, and plunged into the fishy water.

Gu Ren swam out of the sea to grab the man's arm. The man was frightened and jumped away, lost his balance and fell sideways towards the sea.Gu Ren breathed a sigh of relief, luckily he was alive, Gu Ren grabbed his wrist tightly and took his life to fish him out of the shore.

Gu Ren was sitting on the ground panting heavily, and he still didn't forget to utter an obscenity between panting.He didn't notice that the child lying on the ground next to him tilted his head and glanced at him.

Gu Ren gasped for breath for a long time, but she didn't hear any movement from the child next to her, and her heart was suddenly suspended. If something happened to the child now, he wouldn't be able to clean it up even if he jumped back into the sea. .

Gu Ren slowly crawled over to take a look. The child covered his eyes with his arms, as if he was panting.

Gu Ren pushed the boy's leg with his hands, and shouted out bravely: "Hello".

"Not dead," the boy began, letting his arms fall from his eyes.

Gu Ren was taken aback, he didn't expect it to be a Chinese kid.Then you have to teach him a good lesson: "Are you crazy, you dare to run into the sea even if you don't know how to swim?"

The boy opened his eyes and glanced at him, as if looking at a mentally retarded person.

Gu Ren didn't find anything strange about the boy's eyes, but his mind was full of: Fuck, this kid is so fucking good-looking.

Gu Ren cleared her throat, and tried her best to put on an annoying adult look: "Didn't your parents tell you that you can't play by the water?"

The boy stopped looking at him, and moved his eyes to the sky.

Gu Ren didn't know what to say for a while, he didn't have any educational words in his mind, and his father said a lot of words to educate him before, and he got in his left ear and leaked out of his right ear.Having nothing to say, he lay down on his back.

"He who knows how to water cannot drown." The boy said, staring at the starry sky.

Gu Ren's heart skipped a beat, he didn't want to die, really.

"Hiroshima is really, cold." Gu Ren originally wanted to scold her, but remembering that there was a child lying beside her, she swallowed the dirty words in the middle again.

A wave rushed forward, and neither of them moved a bit. The wave barely spun on their calves.

"Hey, if we are like this, we will be swept back into the sea soon." Gu Ren turned her head and looked at the boy's thin profile.

"I didn't tell you, people who know how to water can't drown." The boy seemed to be looking at the starry sky, but his eyes were empty.

Gu Ren thought for a while, and felt that what he said made sense, so she stopped talking.

The waves are getting bigger and bigger, slowly rolling from the calf to the waist.

Until Gu Ren felt that he was about to be sucked away by the waves, he turned his head and glanced at the boy who had been silent all this time. The boy was too thin, and if he got bigger, he would definitely be dragged away by the next wave.

Gu Ren wondered, how could such a good-looking child beat the cold sea of ​​imperialism.

Gu Ren stood up suddenly, took advantage of the boy's inattention, hugged him horizontally, and ran towards the further shore.

Maybe it was too cold, maybe it was frightened, the pale boy shivered violently in Gu Ren's arms.

"What are you doing?" The boy pushed hard on Gu Ren's shoulder with his hands, struggling in Gu Ren's arms like a small shrimp.

But the child is not very strong, Gu Ren is more than a head taller than him, Gu Ren clamped him firmly, but he couldn't make any splashes.

Running to the shore a little further away, Gu Ren originally wanted to throw him on the ground, but felt that this thin-armed and thin-legged man might break two bones if he fell to the ground.But this child is so cold, it aroused Gu Ren's bad thoughts, just want to tease him.

Gu Ren pretended to throw his hand forward, and the boy yelled "ah", Gu Ren just laughed out loud as if he had succeeded, and took him back again.

"Put me down!" Xu Shi was frightened just now, the struggling movement stopped, and his tone was still stubborn.

Gu Ren lowered his head to meet the boy's dark eyes, and suddenly shook his head.

The boy stared at him for a while, and before Gu Ren came back to his senses, he pushed Gu Ren's shoulder hard again.Gu Ren hastily grabbed the boy's leg that was almost breaking free.

"Don't move around, I'm not responsible for the fall." When the boy stopped moving, Gu Ren slowly put him down.

As soon as the boy's feet touched the ground, he spread his legs and ran into the distance.

Gu Ren didn't expect that this kid was not tall, but he ran like a rabbit.While still seeing a little shadow, Gu Ren chased the little black shadow and ran towards the distant night, forgetting that his shoes were still on the shore.

The two of them ran under the moonlit night, I don't know how far they ran, the sea breeze blew through their wet clothes, and the fog wetted their hair, but Gu Ren didn't feel cold.

Until the shadow swayed in the darkness and fell to the ground, Gu Ren was shocked and ran forward with all his strength.

Both of them were panting violently, the salty sea breeze rushed into their throats, their entire lungs were pierced with burning pain, and they couldn't speak a word.

Gu Ren squatted down and opened the boy's hand. It was so dark that he couldn't see clearly, but he could vaguely see blood oozing from the scratched skin, and the knee of his right leg was also scratched, but the bone should not be injured.

Gu Ren breathed a sigh of relief.

"Why are you chasing me?" The boy sat on the ground and looked up at Gu Ren, his voice trembling and a little hoarse.

"Who chased you, is the road your home?" Gu Ren denied.

The boy stopped talking, perhaps because he was too tired.

Gu Ren sat on the ground and rested for a while, finally recovering.

"Where do you want to run?" Gu Ren asked him, tilting his head.

The boy looked at the road he just ran over, but there was no end in sight, and it was pitch black as far as he could see.

Gu Ren followed the direction he was looking for a while, and felt that the child's mind was really elusive.

"Let's go, I'll take you home." Gu Ren knelt down and motioned the boy to lie on his back.

But the boy staggered to his feet and limped past him.

Gu Ren grabbed the boy, knowing that he would not submit obediently, threatened: "If you don't come up, I will carry you away."

The boy bit his lip and thought for a while before putting his hand on Gu Ren's shoulder awkwardly.

Gu Ren carried him back and walked back, this time the boy was unexpectedly very honest, lying quietly on Gu Ren's shoulder, without saying a word.

"Where does your family live?" Gu Ren guessed that his family should not live too far away, it should be a child nearby.

The boy pointed in the direction with his finger. Gu Ren usually passed by the residential area over there when he was doing a part-time job, so he probably knew where it was.

Then the two of them stopped talking, only the sound of footsteps and heavy breathing overlapped and disappeared into the waves.

When they arrived at the residential area, the boy poked Gu Ren on the back, "I can go back by myself," the boy whispered.

Gu Ren put him down, and the boy walked along the road without saying a word, trying his best to maintain a normal walking posture.

Gu Ren felt that he was stubborn like a child at all, but he definitely had the heart of a child.

"What's your name?" Gu Ren asked the figure from behind.

The figure from behind paused for a moment, then turned his head: "Li Ye, the dawn of dawn, the night of night."

Gu Ren stood there, watching him walk into a small two-story house, and it wasn't until after a while that the lights in the house came on that Gu Ren turned around and went home.

On the way, Gu Ren kept thinking, "dawn" and "night" are a pair of antonyms.
