Diamond Jubilee

In winter, the sky is still dark at four or five o'clock, and after more than an hour, the first rays of light emerge from this drowsy black mist.

Yan Xuzhi's biological clock woke him up on time, almost without sleep all night, and it was not so strenuous to wake up.

He sat up slowly, twisting his stiff spine, the sound of bones rubbing against each other a few times.Yan Xuzhi got out of bed numbly, and when he was rummaging through his clothes, he suddenly remembered that he didn't have to go to the hospital from today onwards.

Taking a long breath, Yan Xuzhi sat down beside the bed.

The heavy curtains were not drawn tight, and the cold light slanted along the gaps. How could he know that the thin figure was in the halo, not like a person, but like a tragedy that he had forgotten in the world.

It hurts like hell.

No need to go to the hospital, Yan Xuzhi went back to bed and slept for a while.

He fell asleep drowsily, and when he woke up, he felt itchy on his face. When he opened his eyes, he saw Yan Jiale's little head pressed against his chest.

The child didn't know when he crawled onto his bed, curled up, his fluffy hair curled up, like a kitten.

When Yan Xuzhi moved, Yan Jiale immediately raised his head and called out, "Father."

"You didn't sleep."

"Didn't sleep." Yan Jiale opened his arms, hugged Yan Xuzhi, put his ear on Yan Xuzhi's heart, "Father, you slept so deeply that I couldn't wake you up."

Yan Xuzhi rubbed his chin against the top of his hair, and asked softly, "Are you hungry?"

"A little hungry."

"What to eat?"

"I want noodles, you cooked them for me last time."

Yan Xuzhi laughed, "The noodles are all mushy, do you think it's delicious?"

"As long as it's made by my father, I think it's delicious." Yan Jiale smiled after finishing speaking, and then said: "But this time, don't cook it for so long. It's enough to eat the mushy noodles once."

Yan Xuzhi's shoulders trembled slightly, and he agreed: "Okay, I won't cook for that long."

Yan Xuzhi got up, first got Yan Jiale clothes for him to put on.

Yan Jiale's eyes fell on his wrist, he glanced at it twice, and silently put it aside.

There were still some meatballs and vegetables left over from the hot pot yesterday. Yan Xuzhi cut up the tomatoes, poured water into the pot, and made a simple soup base.Then put the tribute balls in.

Another pot was turned on to cook the noodles. Yan Jiale was really worried, and took his mobile phone to watch the time.Yan Xuzhi looked helpless, feeling that his cooking skills had suffered a Waterloo decline at Yan Jiale's side since the last time he cooked noodles.

"Dad, it's time to cook."

The child tiptoed to look into the pot, Yan Xuzhi quickly pulled him away, "Go outside, I'll call you when it's cooked."

Yan Jiale let out a "huh", nodded and said, "Alright then."

Five minutes later, Yan Xuzhi took out the noodles.

Two bowls, one large and one small, were placed together. The red tomato soup base was topped with two sticks of rapeseed and a few swallow dumplings.

Yan Jiale picked the rapeseed aside with chopsticks, thinking that Yan Xuzhi didn't see it, he finished the noodles and soup in the small bowl, and said, "Dad, I'll put the bowl in the kitchen."

Yan Xuzhi didn't even raise his eyes, "I also ate the leftover vegetables."

Yan Jiale let out an "ah" and said, "I can't eat anymore."

Yan Xuzhi didn't say a word, Yan Jiale blinked, and finally sat back. After eating silently, he obediently handed the empty bowl to Yan Xuzhi's eyes.Yan Xuzhi raised the corners of his mouth lightly, he was satisfied.

Yan Xuzhi had a two-month vacation, and planned to take this opportunity to take Yan Jiale out to play.

I found a few places on the Internet where I could travel by car, and after booking the room and tickets to the tourist attractions, Yan Xuzhi went to the landlord in the afternoon to pay the rent for the next two months.The house he and Yan Jiale live in is rented. The house Liang Liye bought before has been vacant, and has not been rented out, nor has it been sold online.

The house was rented to them by an elderly couple who are almost 80 years old. Their children have all gone abroad. The elderly are not very good at using mobile phones to transfer money.

Yan Xu knew that every time the rent was paid, the money was withdrawn from the bank and handed over to the old man in an envelope.

After paying the rent, Yan Xuzhi took Yan Jiale to the supermarket, bought some things for traveling, and bought a lot of miscellaneous things.This time he changed to a shopping mall and parked the car in the underground garage, where the cart can be reached directly.

Yan Jiale stood on the side, watching Yan Xuzhi struggling to pick up the bag and put it in the car.Not far away, a family of three came towards them and stopped right next to their car. Alpha easily took out the two bags and put them in the trunk. The child was held by a female Omega. Seeing Yan Jia Looking at herself, Le smiled at Yan Jiale.

Yan Jiale immediately turned his head away, pursed his lips, and looked aside.

Yan Xuzhi returned the stroller, opened the door at the back of the car, and Yan Jiale climbed into the safety seat by himself.Yan Xuzhi fastened the belt for him, Yan Jiale turned his face to the side, and whispered, "Daddy, kiss me."

"What's wrong?" Yan Xuzhi was stunned, and put his hand on the back of Yan Jiale's head.

Yan Jiale looked a little depressed, he shook his head, said it was okay, and said that he wanted my father to kiss me.

Yan Xuzhi pressed one knee on the parking space, leaned forward, and lightly pecked Yan Jiale's small face twice.

He returned to the driver's seat and when he started the car, he saw another red Audi driving out beside the car. In the lowered car window, a child who was the same age as Yan Jiale was leaning on his mother's arms, and his father was driving in front.

An indescribable feeling, Yan Xuzhi's heart was placed in a vacuum, and he couldn't breathe.

They had eaten outside, Yan Jiale had the habit of taking a nap, and had already dozed off in the car.

It was almost two o'clock when I got home, Yan Xuzhi parked the car, and then carefully carried Yan Jiale out.He carried the child up first, and then lightened up the things he bought just now, because it was a self-driving tour, most of the things were left in the car without taking them up.

Yan Jiale sleeps in his own room, covered with a quilt printed with a galaxy in space, a pattern he chose himself.He told Yan Xuzhi that he wanted to be an astronaut when he grew up.

Yan Xuzhi knelt by the bed, watched for a long time, then stood up with numb legs, took the car keys, and drove to his and Liang Liye's previous home.

He planned to take a look over there before leaving, after all, he would not be back for a while.

The rented house is not far from the old residence, so Yan Xu knows that it will be cleaned every month.However, due to long-term occupancy, the doors and windows are closed, and there is no dust in the house, so it is quite convenient to clean.

Yan Xu knew that when he got downstairs, there was a black car parked in his usual parking space.He drove the car a little over and stopped behind the car.

Take the elevator up, and the advertising posters in the elevator are changed once a month.Yan Xuzhi saw a male celebrity selling wine last time, but this time it became an advertisement for a used car.

His thoughts diverged, and when the elevator door opened, he lifted his legs and stepped out.

The person from the opposite household just came out to take out the trash, saw Yan Xuzhi nodded at him, and asked with a smile, "Are you cleaning again?"

"I'm going out for two months, come and scan now while I have time."

The neighbor walked into the elevator with the garbage bag, and suddenly thought of something, pointed to the door and said, "Mr. Liang is also back."

Yan Xuzhi was taken aback for a moment, he slowly opened his eyes wide, and was about to go in before the elevator closed, but his shoulder was suddenly held down.

Liang Liye's voice sounded behind him, very low, like thunder before a summer rainstorm, he said: "Xu Zhi, Zhao Feng is gone."

The elevator door closed, and Yan Xuzhi's footsteps that wanted to escape were frozen.

No one moved, breathing was quiet, and the sensor lights in the corridor dimmed.

In the dim and dark space, Yan Xuzhi only felt that the hands on his shoulders were getting heavier and heavier.

He stood with difficulty, his stiff shoulders moved, his footsteps were chaotic, the people behind him covered him, the hot breath fell on his ears, and he shrank his neck.

Liang Liye said, "Don't go, let me hug you."

Yan Xuzhi never dared to move again.

The breath sprayed on his neck was hot, and Liang Liye's voice was hoarse, as if he had a cold.

They embraced in the chaotic darkness, what kind of aura emanated from Liang Liye's body.

Will it still smell like sea water?

Is he sad?

Yan Xuzhi took a deep breath, as he expected, he couldn't feel Liang Liye's pheromone anymore.

This is the price of recovery, the defective physiology makes him like a pool of stagnant water.

After a long time, when the elevator was turned on again, Liang Liye held Yan Xuzhi's shoulders and brought a gust of wind into the room.

The door slammed shut with a bang.

The sun at four or five o'clock in winter shatters on the sky, spreading out clusters of orange-red clouds.

Yan Xuzhi stood in the ambiguous halo over there, his face and body would have the color from the window.

Liang Liye stared at him. He was really sick. With a strong nasal voice, he asked in a low voice, "Didn't you change your fingerprints?"

Yan Xuzhi shook his head, Liang Liye's jaw moved slightly, his back molars gritted, and he said, "Why don't you sell the house?"

Yan Xuzhi remained silent, lowered his head, his thick eyelashes cast a faint shadow under his eyelids.

He thought that someone had asked himself such a question before, when he was struggling due to high medical expenses.

But he won't sell, won't sell, won't sell.

He said that he wanted Liang Liye to have a home when he came back.

Lips moved slightly, Yan Xuzhi said, "This is your home."

Liang Liye crossed his arms, leaned his back against the wall, looked at the house that seemed to have never changed, and said, "People are gone, what kind of house is an empty house, shit."

"sorry."

Yan Xuzhi apologized, Liang Liye closed his eyes, enduring the irritability in his heart.He reached out and grabbed Yan Xuzhi's arm, pulled the person in front of him, rubbed his head against the side of Yan Xuzhi's neck and sniffed lightly, and then said, "I'm not mistaken, why is your pheromone smell gone?"

Yan Xuzhi half of his body was numb, he didn't move, and calmly said: "It will be gone after recovery, it's a small price."

Liang Liye snorted, and said sarcastically, "Then what are you now? Omega is still beta, or nothing."

Yan Xuzhi said nothing, but slowly clenched his fists.

Liang Liye sized him up, and then said, "Do you want to come to Zhao Feng's funeral?"

Yan Xuzhi raised his head, and nodded slightly under Liang Liye's cold gaze.

"I will go."
