stay gold

Lin Ye went to the study and turned on the computer. There was a new email from the editor, asking him if the preface of the book he had just finished was the same as before, with only one sentence.

Lin Ye found the sample book from the bookshelf, and touched the cover of the book. It showed a road in the dark. A sea full of stars.

Thinking about it now, in fact, most of the memories when I was with Gu Ren were at night.But night and night are also different.

For example, if there was no night when I first met Gu Ren, maybe everything in the future would not exist.

Lin Ye didn't think seven years was a long time, because before he met Gu Ren, he was used to long and endless days.It is precisely because he does not know when such days will end, so at that time he has an obsession called "the end" for every object and every thing.

At that time, he would chase a wounded bird until it returned to its nest, watch a spider weave its silk until it made a complete web, and draw vertical lines on the table at the beginning of class to time it until it returned to its nest. After class.

The night he met Gu Ren, he was wondering where he could float from the sea.

It seems that the appearance of Gu Ren is to break his obsession.

He had just been floating in the sea for a while that night when he was fished out by Gu Renhai.

He also wanted to know where the long road by the sea leads to, and was threatened by Gu Ren chasing and beating him back home.

He didn't want to go home because the empty house at home was too boring.He also doesn't like to go to class. There are many people in the school, but they have nothing to do with him.

His favorite season is summer, and his favorite time is evening. The second time he met Gu Ren was a summer evening.

That day, the boy was walking on the road after school, as usual, he didn't go home, with his head down, kicking a strangely shaped pebble, he walked aimlessly along the road by the sea.

Hearing a bicycle coming from behind, the boy didn't turn his head, but kicked the stones under his feet to the side of the road, and moved to the side himself.

The bicycle passed by the side of the boy, drew a very ostentatious arc, and stopped in front of the boy.

The boy looked up and saw the people in the car smiling brightly at him.

"Li Ye, get in the car." Gu Ren's voice was very vivid, and the boy seemed to hear the evening fire burning clouds.

The boy tugged at the strap of his schoolbag and asked, "Where are you going?"

"Come up and talk about it." Gu Ren stretched out his hand: "Put the schoolbag in front."

The boy looked at his outstretched hand, stepped on the stones he kicked all the way just now, and walked over silently.

"Hurry up, the road here has a lot of slopes." Gu Ren put the boy's hand on her waist, stepped hard on her feet, and drove the boy forward on a bicycle.

The sea breeze is available in all seasons, regardless of season, but the sea breeze in summer makes people happy. The boy's hair is messed up by the wind, and his thoughts are scattered towards the blue sky and the sea.

The boy remembered that this was the road he didn't run to the end last time.

"Have you been there? What's ahead?" The boy was very curious, but he also knew in his heart that not all roads have an end.

Gu Ren pretended to be mysterious and said: "You will know when you arrive."

The road was very long, and the two of them rode their bicycles to stop and go, sweating until the sky darkened unknowingly.

Gu Ren stopped the car without warning, the boy bumped into him lightly due to inertia, and the arms around his waist tightened.

"Come down." Gu Ren said.

The boy let go of his hand, got out of the car, and looked at the road ahead. The last rays of the setting sun disappeared in the distance of the road, and there was still no end in sight.

"Do you still remember this place?" Gu Ren sat in the car and looked at the boy and asked.

The boy looked around. Although the sky was getting dark, it was very familiar.

"It's where I picked you up." Gu Ren rode the bike in front of the boy, smiling as brightly as before.

The boy looked down, it was right here, the stone was still lying quietly by the side of the road.

"This road goes around the island, so we came back here again." Gu Ren explained.

The boy nodded, lowered his shoulders, looked at the ground with dark eyes, and felt some inexplicable disappointment in his heart. If this is the case, then this road will have no end.

In fact, even if there is an end, so what.

Gu Ren came over, stroked the boy's head, and said with some guilt: "I'm so bored."

The boy shook his head: "No." After a long silence, he said, "So this road will never end, right?"

Gu Ren was a little puzzled, as if she didn't quite understand what the boy was asking.After thinking for a while, he raised his foot and stepped on the road under his feet, and replied, "No, the starting point is here, and the end point is also here."

The boy looked at his serious face, and finally smiled, "You haven't told me your name yet."

"Gu Ren," Gu Ren originally wanted to make up a nice word for his name like a boy, but couldn't think of anything, so he ran to the side of the road and picked up a branch to write for him.

Later, the boy remembered that the starting point and the end of that road were both named: Gu Ren.

Lin Ye thought for a while, and wrote back to the editor, saying that this book has no preface.

Gu Ren stayed downstairs and thought for a long time, but still didn't think of anything.But I was even more sure that there must be something wrong yesterday, and when I was about to catch up upstairs to ask, the cell phone in the bedroom rang.

Gu Ren took the phone, looked at the caller ID, it was Shen Qian, and thought maybe it was time to ask her.

When she picked up the phone, she heard Shen Qian's malicious voice: "Yo, you got up pretty early!"

"Tell me, what's the matter?" Gu Ren is not in the mood to be poor with her now.

Shen Qian naturally has something to do: "There is a seminar at twelve o'clock in the noon, which is actually not very important. I didn't plan to invite you to come, but the old man told me to invite you, why don't you come here."

Gu Ren took down her phone and checked the time. It was past ten o'clock: "But I haven't prepared anything in advance."

"You don't need to prepare anything, it's actually just a regular teaching and research meeting, you understand what the old man means." Shen Qian spent every day in this kind of conferences and meetings, and she didn't take it seriously for a long time.

"Okay, then I'll go there," Gu Ren agreed, "Well, yesterday..." Gu Ren originally wanted to ask, but she felt that Shen Qian must not remember, so forget it.

"What's wrong?" Shen Qian asked.

"Did he say anything when you sent me back yesterday?"

Gu Ren hesitated for a moment, but still asked.

Shen Qian thought for a while, "No, what's the matter, are you having trouble?" Although she was a little confused from drinking, Lin Ye really didn't say anything, and she didn't mean to be angry at all.

"no,"

"Did you drink too much, and then uh, what... frightened your children." Shen Qian asked.

"Impossible," Gu Ren knew that Shen Qian would have to think about it when she asked her, so she immediately added, "I'll pack up and go over there." Then she hung up the phone before Shen Qian asked.

Gu Ren walked to the second floor, walked around the door of the study for a long time, felt that Lin Ye was not willing to talk, even if he asked, he would smile and play sloppy with him, or just say "it's okay".Gu Ren still decided to go back to the bedroom to change clothes.

Gu Ren returned to the bedroom, digging out the memories of yesterday in his mind, changing his shirt and tie, but in the end, he could only recall getting into Shen Qian's car.Then there was the feeling of hugging Lin Ye in the dream.As Shen Qian said just now, it's not that Gu Ren has never thought about that possibility, but when he woke up in the morning, there was no trace in the room, and he hadn't even changed his clothes.Besides, Gu Ren knew that he would not act recklessly after drinking.

Gu Ren still walked to the door of the study room, gently pushed the door open, Lin Ye was standing in front of the bookshelf holding a book and reading quietly, only raised his head when he heard Gu Ren come in.

"Are you going out?" Lin Ye sized up Gu Ren, it seemed that Gu Ren wore shirts more often now, and the lines of the shoulders and back were well outlined.

"Well, go to school, there is a meeting." Gu Ren looked at Lin Ye, and Lin Ye seemed to have returned to the indifferent look before.

Lin Ye turned around and put the book in his hand back on the shelf unhurriedly, then walked towards the door and said, "Mr. Shen drove the car back. I will go to school with you. There is a class at one o'clock in the afternoon. It's okay to go early." It doesn't matter."

Gu Ren waited for him to approach before she opened her mouth and asked, "Yesterday, tonight..."

Lin Ye stopped at the door, "What happened last night?"

Seeing the door behind Lin Ye, Gu Ren seemed to remember something suddenly, but it wasn't very real.Her upper body leaned forward, wrapping around Lin Ye's waist.

"What are you doing?" Lin Ye stepped back, a blush appeared on his face when he lowered his head.

Gu Ren just remembered that there seemed to be such a scene last night, and he said: "Last night, there seemed to be something unfinished."

Lin Ye raised his head, met Gu Ren's deep eyes, gently tugged the tie on Gu Ren's chest with his hand, and said softly, "Gu Ren, I'm 22 years old."

Gu Ren was so provoked by his words that his whole body became hot, so he lowered his head and kissed him, leaving him no time to escape.As if enjoying a long-awaited delicacy, Gu Ren gently licked Lin Ye's lips. Lin Ye's lips were as sweet as he imagined, and it was worth waiting so long.

Lin Ye tightly grasped Gu Ren's tie, closed his eyes and responded to Gu Ren in a green voice.

Gu Ren's eyes became more and more blurred, and he held Lin Ye's hot cheek with his palm, like a gentle hungry beast, prying open the gap between Lin Ye's teeth, digging deeper for more sweet food, the other hand Wandering restlessly around Lin Ye's waist.

Until Lin Ye was a little overwhelmed, he looked at Gu Ren with misty eyes as if begging for mercy.

Gu Rencai stopped slowly, and the two of them pressed their foreheads together and panted calmly.

Gu Ren looked at the flushed Lin Ye, and realized a terrible thing. It wasn't the wine that made her messy, but the white child in her arms.
