Inferior star

Wei Yu hasn't slept so deeply for a long time.

I got up and looked at my phone, the alarm clock from an hour ago had been turned off.The curtains were drawn, and the whole room was very dark, and Xu Mingzhao was not there.

He half-closed his eyes and walked out of the room, where Xu Mingzhao was cooking porridge in the kitchen.

"Ming Zhao."

"Are you up? The porridge is almost ready."

Wei Yu hugged Xu Mingzhao from behind.

"Your voice is a little hoarse."

"It's all my boyfriend's fault."

"I'll buy you throat lozenges later." Wei Yu buried his head on Xu Mingzhao's left neck, couldn't hold back his smile, "Boyfriend", he likes this title, "You go and sit down, I'll see the porridge."

"No, I finally made you a meal."

"Ming Zhao."

"Huh?" Xu Mingzhao tilted his head.

"Ming Zhao."

"what happened?"

"It's okay, I just want to call you.... Do you find it annoying?"

"Don't bother. Don't bother. Don't bother. Whatever you call."

Xu Mingzhao was too kind to him.

In the afternoon, Wei Yu and Xu Mingzhao went home to pack their things, and in the evening they came back with big bags and small bags.

Xu Mingzhao packed the model box of the starry sky lamp in his bag.

The next day is Sunday, and the rest of the luggage can be put away for tomorrow. Wei Yu and Xu Mingzhao sat together to make models after a long absence.

The parts of the model are already cut and only need simple assembly.

The two occasionally held hands and giggled occasionally, and it took two hours to finish.

The main body of the starry sky lamp is a dodecahedron formed by connecting pentagonal plastic sheets, on which the astrolabe of the four seasons is drawn.

Paste the month and time stickers on the bottom knob, turn to the corresponding date, Wei Yu draws the curtains in the living room, turns off all the lights, lays on the bean bag sofa side by side with Xu Mingzhao, and presses the switch of the starry sky light .

The constellations were projected onto the ceiling, Xu Mingzhao and Wei Yu looked at each other and smiled.

"What a nice view."

"'In astronomy, celestial bodies are divided into different magnitudes according to the degree of brightness'," Wei Yu repeated what was written in the popular science manual attached to the model, "but the brightness of the flat astrolabe projected by this model is almost the same, it is difficult to distinguish which Wait for the stars."

"Really? But the brightest one is easy to find."

"Where is it?" Wei Yu followed Xu Mingzhao's line of sight.

Xu Mingzhao turned his head to look at Wei Yu, and said softly, "In front of my eyes."

Wei Yu withdrew his gaze from the ceiling, looked at Xu Mingzhao, and said hesitantly: "You should know from my diary that I used to be...selfish and hypocritical. If people are also divided by stars, I can only be regarded as a star. An inferior star without light."

"There were too many reasons that contributed to your choice at that time. If you thought you were wrong before, I would not favor you to convince you that you were right. People have the instinct to seek advantages and avoid disadvantages. I am also very selfish. I selfishly thought about destroying things. your relationship with others."

"I have no relationship with others!" Wei Yu hurriedly clarified.

"But at that time I thought there were. So, inferior stars and inferior stars, don't they just match?"

Xu Mingzhao pecked Wei Yu's lips lightly.

"Ming Zhao."

"Ok?"

"The first time I heard your name, I thought it meant, 'should be bright and beautiful', but it didn't."

"I have nothing to do with 'Bright and Beautiful' right now."

"The meaning of 'Xu' is not 'should', but 'promise'. 'Xu Mingzhao' should mean—give me light and beauty."

"I didn't even want to be surnamed Xu at first. Now that you put it that way, this name is really good."

Xu Mingzhao raised an eyebrow at Wei Yu.

Wei Yu turned the knob on the model, and the star map directly in front of him changed slightly.

In the vast universe, there are countless stars that cannot be observed by the naked eye, shining around each other.

Wei Yu went to and from get off work at two o'clock and one line, Xu Mingzhao found a new job, went to work during the day, broadcast live at night, and occasionally helped Wei Yu draw pictures.

Life is not too turbulent, nothing more than eating, working, playing and sleeping.

Just like a cup of water with the temperature of your palm, it may not feel warm when you hold it.

But you know, it's warm.

One night, Xu Mingzhao and Wei Yu were lying on the bed and asked the last unsolved question.

"Wei Yu."

"Huh?" Wei Yu replied vaguely in a half-dream and half-awake state.

"You wrote in the letter you left me that you only fantasized about me once, and you won't do it again. Then who have you been thinking about in the past five years?"

"...Because you don't like it, I can't miss the people around me. So... Later... I found out that you resembled a certain celebrity, so I..."

"...You are really telling the truth. Which celebrity?...Forget it."

"Are you angry?" Wei Yu suddenly woke up and grabbed Xu Mingzhao's hand.

"Angry. Angry at myself." Xu Mingzhao pinched Wei Yu's waist with his free hand, "If you want to think about me in the future, you can only think about me."

"Why do you miss you?" Wei Yu returned to his lazy tone.

"Who else are you thinking about?!"

"I mean, why do I 'miss' you." Wei Yu moved towards Xu Mingzhao, "Aren't you right next to me?"

Wei Yu felt more and more secure.

That's fine.

At the end of the year, Xu Mingzhao and Wei Yu are shopping for New Year's goods in the supermarket.

Wei Yu took Xu Mingzhao with one hand and pushed the shopping cart full of snacks through the dense shelves and crowds.

It stopped suddenly.

He saw Xu Mingzhao's mother wearing an elegant taupe-colored coat standing by the freezer to choose the family steak, and a tall man stood beside her.

He didn't know whether he should tell Xu Mingzhao, but Xu Mingzhao had already seen it.

The cold air from the freezer made Xu Mingzhao's hands a little cold. Wei Yu wanted to hold them tight, but he didn't know how to face such a situation.

Xu Mingzhao raised the hand he was holding with Wei Yu, and said frankly with a smile to his mother whom he had not seen for a long time: "My boyfriend."

She showed a sad but relieved smile, and nodded to Wei Yu.

Wei Yu lowered his head and bowed slightly in return.

Then the two pairs of people scattered in the torrent of the crowd.

"My mom looks fine."

"Ah."

"Then I'm relieved." His tone was full of relief.

"New Year...don't you contact Dad?"

"No way. The last time I saw him, when I asked for money, I saw that woman had a child, and it was natural for the child to call him Dad. He was very happy."

"What about you? Are you happy now?"

"Of course." Xu Mingzhao replied without much thought.

"Mingzhao. During the Chinese New Year, accompany me back to my hometown. I want to tell Grandpa that I am no longer alone. Also, I made a wish at the Fu Temple in my hometown before. Although... it deviates from my original intention, but that The wish can be regarded as fulfilled, and I have to pay back my wish.”

"Okay, I also want to see the place where you grew up."

The car that Xu Mingzhao and Wei Yu sat in was empty.

Xu Mingzhao straddled Wei Yu's right leg with his left leg, and his ankles touched.

The ankle chains of the two were stored in a drawer after autumn, waiting for the next warm season.

"The last time we took the car together was when we came back from a music festival."

“That music festival is truly unforgettable.”

"I don't know where to open this year?"

Xu Mingzhao took out his mobile phone and opened the official website to swipe, but there was no new news. When he scrolled down unintentionally, he found the photo collection of the last music festival.

"Wei Yu, look. It's a good shot."

"The photographer took pictures of both of us."

"It must be because we look so happy."

"Yeah, because we're so happy."

Wei Yu and Xu Mingzhao changed their phone wallpapers to that photo, and fell asleep leaning against each other after a while.

In the photo, he and he are holding hands tightly and wearing the same token on their feet. Although there is confusion and hesitation in their hearts, they stare at each other firmly, regardless of the mud on their feet, and stride forward, as if they are about to go together to own infinite possibilities-

future.
