【Zhou Xiang】Gravity

1.

Lao Ma knew about their affairs, Sun Xiang and Zhou Zekai knew this.After all, it's okay to veiled "I understand you understand" before.But when the old ginger told him, "Hey boy, I've seen you two kiss", Brother Xiang realized that his skin was not as thick as he imagined—not only was he flushed to the base of his neck, but he also stammered in disbelief. Leo: "You, didn't you drink too much at that time!"

Zhou Zekai was smarter, although he was surprised, he didn't say anything, just looked at himself.

The reaction of the two of them made Lao Ma very proud, as if he had regained his status as a big brother, no, the feeling of being a homeroom teacher, he took a leisurely drink of water, and then calmly broke a pistachio, seeing from the corner of his eye that Sun Xiang was about to explode Mao, then cleared his throat: "Why, I was too drunk, I didn't see it, I can't make a reasonable guess."

"Damn it!" Sun Xiang was so angry that he wanted to hit someone, but due to the situation, he hugged his chest, twisted his head, and snorted heavily.

"I'm just teasing you, you don't have to admit it! If you are so honest and dare to hide the relationship from the school, is it better to say that you two are smart or stupid?" The old horse laughed.

"Teacher." Zhou Zekai said helplessly, "Don't talk about this during the home visit?"

The old horse was stunned, and laughed even louder: "Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha no way...Sun Xiang can you rely on a little score? Your Zhou Zekai can't stand it anymore!"

"Come on, Zhou Zekai can't bear to see you, speak up for me. He's my boyfriend!"

The old horse choked with laughter, suddenly remembered something, coughed and sat up straight: "Who will show affection to you. I am someone who has experienced it."

2.

The mutual loss of friendship ended, maybe it was the suit that tied his hands and feet that made Lao Ma realize his original purpose, he turned serious, changed the subject, and talked about business.

"Xiao Zhou, why are your parents not here, are you going out temporarily?"

"Almost!" Sun Xiang was worried that Zhou Zekai would be unhappy when the old horse said it, so he rushed to answer, "I'm not here anyway. Why do you care so much?"

That's all the head teacher's home visits are in charge of, so how could he not ask.The old horse glanced at Sun Xiang, then turned to Zhou Zekai: "Do you know why I made an appointment with you directly? There is their phone number in the student information book. I called three times before I came, but no one answered."

Zhou Zekai didn't look surprised at all: "It's normal."

The old horse didn't respond a bit: "What do you mean?"

Zhou Zekai: "I can't get in touch either." He emphasized, "It's okay, they come back about once a year."

"Wait. Xiao Zhou, you mean that your parents... work in other places and never stay at home?" It was only then that Lao Ma realized that the situation of Zhou Zekai's family was more complicated than he imagined.He originally thought that the Zhou family's parents were busy with work at most, but when Zhou Zekai mentioned this, he remembered where the strange feeling came from when he just entered the door - he couldn't find a pair of common shoes for adults on the shoe rack.

Looking around at this moment, in this "home"... there is indeed no trace of the life of an ordinary family of three.

"Then what about your life? What about your grandparents and grandparents? Don't come to take care of you?" Lao Ma asked incredulously.

"Grandpa and grandma want to take their cousins ​​with them." Zhou Zekai said while recalling, "Grandma is not in good health and lives at my uncle's house. My parents send money regularly, and take care of other things by myself."

Lao Ma frowned deeply: "Money is only a small part of responsibility. Providing housing and financial support is not the reason for their absence from your growth process. Xiao Zhou, the teacher knows that you are more sensible and mature than other peers, but no matter how You are still a minor. There are no outsiders today, you can tell me the truth, if you want to be accompanied by your parents, the teacher must try to find a way—”

"Teacher, it's okay. I live a good life." Zhou Zekai interrupted him.

He said this sentence to the teacher in charge of the junior high school class and the class teacher in the first year of senior high school.But there was more of a routine before than now.

Today, when the "scar" in the eyes of outsiders was touched inadvertently again, he was very calm and even a little happy.

He knew that the teacher in front of him cared for the students from the bottom of his heart, and he also knew that Sun Xiang's eagerness to fool the old horse since just now was all for himself.Surrounded by kindness and love, there is no need to feel wronged or uncomfortable.

He didn't care about the presence of the old horse at all, gently held Sun Xiang's hand, met the latter's concerned gaze, shook his head, and repeated again: "I'm really doing well."

Everyone present knows who to say this to.

Sun Xiang opened his mouth, feeling that the restlessness and worry in his heart just now dissipated with Zhou Zekai's words.He looked at Zhou Zekai and realized that he couldn't 100% understand Zhou Zekai's mood.But it doesn't matter, what Zhou Zekai wanted to convey, he received it exactly!

—— "After meeting you, I have a very good life. Don't worry."

This guy...fouls if nothing happens!hateful!

Sun Xiang suddenly realized what kind of performance he should have at this moment.

He clenched Zhou Zekai's hand, turned around and raised his chin at the old horse: "Did you hear that? Zhou Zekai said that his life is pretty good now. Don't worry about that!"

The old horse had just been shown a loving face, and was feeling complicated about the timelessness of time, when he was choked by Sun Xiang's speech.

Seeing that he was speechless, Sun Xiang became more and more proud: "What's the problem with home visits? You visit me the same. Anyway, I will write a household registration book with Zhou Zekai sooner or later. Rounding up, he will be counted as his parents."

"Family and parent are two words!" Lao Ma finally couldn't help it, and rubbed his head fiercely, "You're almost the same! I'm not as arrogant as you when I just caught up with my wife!"

3.

After that, although Sun Xiang disapproved, Zhou Zekai still briefly described how he lived alone when his parents worked in other places all the year round.Finally, I emphasize again that Lao Ma doesn’t have to worry about himself. He understands that instead of spending time blaming others, he should spend his time studying and other things that make him happy.

"Like a relationship?" the old horse blinked and teased.

"Go, go!" Sun Xiang unceremoniously threw a pillow towards him.

The old horse took the pillow and threw it back to Sun Xiang, and Sun Xiang threw it to him again.

The old bear child and the little bear child quarreled for a while, but they finally stopped.He took a sip of the water glass, and continued to sigh with emotion: "Xiao Zhou, do you know? When I was as old as you, I was still stealing my father's wallet every day to see if I could get some money to change to a band." Tickets for the performance. You can concentrate on your studies without anyone watching, and you will get the first place in your grade, which is much better than Lao Tzu!"

"That's a must!" Sun Xiang put Zhou Zekai's shoulders on his shoulders, smiling arrogantly, as if implying "Good praise, hurry up and praise more!"

The old horse couldn't laugh or cry, and continued: "I hope you can maintain this mentality, ignore the influence of the outside world, and go your own way! After that, it will be your own life."

Having said that, the old horse blinked slyly: "Then all wishes come true!"

"Thank you, teacher." Zhou Zekai smiled, and answered quickly, "I wish you all the best!"

The old horse was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, "You...haha! I'm working hard, and I hope to lend you a good word."

Sun Xiang was slow to realize that the topic had turned to another direction.But this direction, he is very concerned about!

Sun Xiang interrupted: "Old Ma, have you coaxed Teacher Li back?"

The old horse stopped drinking the water, and laughed aloud: "I knew it, Zhou Zekai, you will always ask the bottom line when the deadline is reached! Do you care about me so much?"

Sun Xiang refused to admit it: "Why do you care about you? I only care about Teacher Li."

After finishing speaking, he added an awkward sentence: "Who asked the bottom line? It's inconvenient, so I won't answer. Who made complaints just now, what did I ask?"

A warm current surged through Lao Ma's heart.He looked down at the unpeeled pistachio in his hand, opened it faster, ate it, then clapped his hands, raised his head and answered seriously: "It's not inconvenient. Although you two are younger than me, I've already done it Treat you as friends, as your own people."

At this point, he paused, "Thank you for what you did on New Year's Day. It also stimulated me and made me think about it thoroughly."

Sun Xiang and Zhou Zekai only knew that he and Li Yanran had an argument, but they didn't know one detail: that day was actually his and Li Yanran's wedding anniversary.Every year in the past, he had to prepare flower cakes and a table of good dishes, but this year... when he thought about the bad things at home, he lost the courage and confidence to invite his separated wife home.

If not for the instigation of this group of students, maybe that night, he would still go back to the empty house like every day before, light an empty cigarette, put on a random CD, and stay in a daze until the cigarette butt burned his fingers.

"After I went back that day, I told you, Mr. Li, that I made a serious mistake: at such an advanced age, I have been competing with myself, thinking that I should take care of everything and do everything well. But people sometimes... You can’t have both at all.”

"I don't understand." Sun Xiang said.

"Hehe." The old horse couldn't help laughing twice, "It's right if you don't understand it. It's better not to understand it. Let me put it this way, I hoped that my parents and my wife could live in harmony before, thinking that I had done a big job. After all my hard work, I was very angry because I still couldn’t find a point where everyone was happy. Anyway, I would quarrel every day when I went home, with the old man, and sometimes with your teacher Li, which exhausted the family physically and mentally.”

"Although it was noisy at the beginning, it was still a matter of discussion, but later on, it gradually changed."

"My parents, see that I will try my best to meet their needs, so I started to toss hard, toss me to divorce, and renew their incense. You, Mr. Li, don't want me to do it hard. Go to the hospital to see and do treatment. I suffered from the medicine I took...I want to slap myself twice when I say it!"

"The funniest thing is that for a while, I really felt that she should do these things. It's an obligation, a responsibility, anyway, it's what she has to do. Maybe it's the accumulation of little by little that made her lose confidence in me. "

"Fortunately, it's not too late. I figured it out. My parents have demands on me. It's too much to say otherwise. Anyway, I can only think about whether I should accept it. It has nothing to do with my wife."

"You chose Teacher Li?" Zhou Zekai asked.

"That's right. They forced me to choose one of the two, so I can only choose one. I feel uncomfortable, but I know that they don't care if I feel uncomfortable when it comes to incense. It's not that I didn't work hard, but I'm just a person , ordinary people, I don’t have the ability to meet their demands. Whether it’s reasonable or not.”

"I went to the neighborhood committee, went through the procedure, and handed over the deposit for the nursing home. They can be sent in about another week."

After the old horse finished speaking, Sun Xiang was still in a daze.The old horse waved his hand in front of him: "Why, I suddenly feel that Teacher, I am selfish and indifferent?"

"No..." Sun Xiang had difficulty organizing his words for a while.What happened to the old horse made him immediately think of himself.On the day Zhou Zekai went for treatment, he was thinking. After learning the results of the hospital today, he couldn't help wondering whether he had committed a selfish mistake in allowing Zhou Zekai to take the risk of surgery—after all, the one who benefited the most People are themselves.

"It's okay, just complain about it. Anyway, I don't care." The old horse shrugged ruffiantly, "After this time, I understand that it's useless to think too much, no matter which way, you have to go to know whether it is right or not. Think less, do more, cherish the present, let yourself go."

4.

What the old horse said touched Sun Xiang very much.

His thoughts were ups and downs like the tide, and from the outside world, he was just stunned.

Seeing the strangeness, the old horse shook his head, picked up the down jacket beside him, said hello to Zhou Zekai, and waved his palms in front of him again: "Hey, your class is over, Brother Ma, you have to go. Is there anything else you want to ask? No If so, gossip and chicken soup will meet again next time."

Sun Xiang came back to his senses, and his first reaction was to punch this guy on the shoulder with his fist: "Go, go, save the chicken soup for yourself. I don't have enough time to fall in love with Zhou Zekai, so I don't have time to care about you. You... ...Just be happy!"

"Be careful on the road." Zhou Zekai opened the door for him.

"Goodbye." The old horse raised a hand without looking back, and waved it, "I want the inhibitor to call me—"

Sun Xiang was taken aback for a moment, his face flushed, and he suddenly had the urge to feed the dog with his emotion.

5.

After the old horse left, the two chatted, and it was at this time that Sun Xiang realized that he was not the only one touched.

Fate is fair to everyone.There are many things in the world that may not be settled now, and even after a lot of hard work, may not be settled in the future - this is Zhou Zekai's impression after hearing it.

"No." Sun Xiang looked into Zhou Zekai's eyes.He knew Zhou Zekai's subtext, apart from pheromones, what else could make his boyfriend, who can be called omnipotent, worry.He said in a joking tone as much as possible, "Zhou Zekai, can you be a little bit promising. You are the first grader in our reincarnation experiment. Why do you act like a baby with your boyfriend when you have nothing to do?"

Zhou Zekai pursed his lips, obviously he was not in a normal mood, and the jokes that usually made him laugh out loud were not very effective: "It's not that I don't have confidence in you."

"So you were so bullied by the old horse? Don't you have confidence in yourself? What happened to the guy who was so bold and told me that I was your gravitational attraction? Just after I was moved, you made people go through it?"

Zhou Zekai also seemed to feel that what he said was inappropriate, so he just kept silent, and just rested his head on his boyfriend's shoulder, and after a long time of silence, he said, "No."

Sun Xiang's heart softened.He patted Zhou Zekai on the shoulder, and touched the back of his head.To be honest, Zhou Zekai didn't feel that it was against harmony when Zhou Zekai suddenly showed weakness.Who stipulated that Zhou Zekai should keep everything calm and be more reliable than himself all the time?Is he human too?

He wasn't upset at all, on the contrary, he was very happy, because of the other party's frankness, and also because of the secret and proud reason that he can always be an Alpha that people can rely on enough.

He said: "You feel troubled and stressed. I understand. I also hope that I will be with you for the rest of my life without encountering any difficulties. But isn't life like this? If you understand Lao Ma's words from another angle, see, troubles and stress are always A part of life. I can’t handle it, I can’t handle it, and I live the same day. What’s more, didn’t you say that you have a good life? I promise, it will be better in the future!”

"Yeah." The anxiety in Zhou Zekai's eyes slowly receded, he touched Sun Xiang's cheek, leaned his forehead against it, and said, "As long as you're here."

"Nonsense." Sun Xiang hugged this guy's shoulders, took the initiative to kiss him, but said in a sullen tone, "If you dare to drive Brother Xiang away, Brother Xiang will beat you to death."

There are some things that don’t need to be said too clearly, those who understand will naturally understand—maybe there are too many uncertainties in fate.But no matter what, they will not let go of each other.

This is a gift and reassurance for each other.

6.

The impromptu home visit postponed the stroll plan.The sunshine time in winter is short, and when they finally walked out of the community, the warmest moment of the sun had already passed.

Sun Xiang made a decisive decision, stopped walking towards the park, and went to the supermarket with Zhou Zekai.

When entering the community, Zhou Zekai suddenly stopped.

"how?"

"I missed something and didn't buy it."

The neighborhood is less than 500 meters away from the supermarket, Zhou Zekai was a little bit hesitant about whether to go back again.

"No need." Sun Xiang saw his thoughts at a glance, and resolutely put his arms around his shoulders, "It's so cold outside. Hurry back, it's the same as ordering online."

Not a bad idea.After returning home, Zhou Zekai turned on the computer.

Originally, Sun Xiang was just lazily sitting next to him cross-legged and playing with his mobile phone.Hearing Zhou Zekai's cell phone ding, he raised his head subconsciously.

"Buy it? What did you buy?"

Zhou Zekai turned the laptop screen at an angle.It was convenient for Sun Xiang to see clearly the words on the two-person widened pillow and the two-meter eiderdown quilt.

What the hell!

Fuck, fuck, fuck!

He actually forgot about it!

Theoretically, he could achieve his long-cherished wish tonight—sleeping in the same room with someone, snoring the smell of mint and chocolate all night——Sun Xiang was pleasantly surprised and... so embarrassing!

Probably more of an embarrassment.So Sun Xiang subconsciously touched his ear - he was afraid that it would get hot too quickly.

Even though it was only for a moment, Zhou Zekai still noticed his little move.

Arrive the day after tomorrow.

Zhou Zekai pointed to the screen and read out the order reminder.

"The day after tomorrow? Why is the delivery so slow?"

Sun Xiang complained without thinking.

In the next second, he realized what he had said, and his face flushed instantly.

He didn't know if it was a psychological effect or real, but he always felt that from this moment on, Zhou Zekai looked at him with a special smile.

Isn't it just to complain about the logistics!What did that bastard Zhou Zekai think he was thinking? !No, what is this bastard Zhou Zekai thinking? !

Nothing.

He soon knew what Zhou Zekai was thinking.
