Chapter 37: The snow in Swamp Jing City stopped, and it got wet...
The snow in Beijing has stopped. After a week of heavy snow, the sky and the earth are covered with a white blanket. Thick gloomy clouds cover the sky, heavy snow covers the ground, and the cold wind is even stronger, making travel very inconvenient.
Gu Xingjue had been hungover for several days, had not eaten or drunk and had trouble sleeping for several nights and had a low fever. After taking a hot shower, Gu Xingjue walked out of the bathroom feeling much refreshed.
Yun Che's call had rekindled his resolve to win back Chen Song. However, he'd been expending too much energy recently, and beneath his energetic energy lay a hollow, tired shell.
Xie Yanchen was eating when he saw Gu Xingjue coming. He said to him, "Eat something. You'll have the energy to chase your wife after eating."
Gu Xingjue glanced at the dishes on the table and lost his appetite. They were all Xie Yanchen's favorite dishes. Gu Xingjue recalled that it seemed that only when he returned to his small home with Chen Song would someone specially prepare a table full of his favorite dishes for him.
Gu Xingjue wiped his hair, casually put the towel around his neck, walked over, sat down, picked up the chopsticks and ate a few bites casually.
He ate the meal carelessly, and all that kept appearing in his mind was Chen Song's back standing in the kitchen busy working for him.
Chen Song would wait until he finished eating, then eagerly ask if it was delicious. He always asked, even though the dishes were basically the same over and over again, with the occasional change.
Gu Xingjue would always touch his head, kiss him, and say it was delicious. Only then would Chen Song pick up his chopsticks and eat with a red face.
"How are you going to pursue her?" Xie Yanchen put down his chopsticks and wiped his mouth politely with a tissue. His originally short hair had grown a lot longer.
Gu Xingjue didn't say anything. He regained his composure. In fact, he didn't know how to pursue her.
Xie Yanchen lay back on the sofa and asked, "How did you two get together in the first place? Who started it first? I don't think that person looks like someone who would start trouble."
"You're chasing her?" Xie Yanchen raised his eyebrows and squinted at him. "If I remember correctly, you've never taken the initiative to flirt with anyone."
Gu Xingjue paused with the chopsticks he was using to pick up food and put them down.
Xie Yanchen's words were indeed true. All of his previous bed partners were initiated by them, and their intentions were obvious: money, power, and family difficulties.
Gu Xingjue didn't reject everyone, he picked a few that suited his taste and kept them as pets. Originally, the ones that suited his taste were all bright and beautiful little fairies, and it was much easier for Gu Xingjue to do things himself.
He used to dislike all the light-flavored food, but he was fascinated by Chen Song.
The innate coldness and melancholy in Chen Song's body was like a soft veil that seduced people, making him feel infatuated and dreamy. He couldn't help but want to desecrate him and sink into the swamp of sin and make love with him.
It is the thrill of pulling the gods down from the altar.
In this swamp, Chen Song was completely different from his usual reserved self. He was not as delicate and weak as a woman, but full of charm, like a lingering and enchanting fire, or like a surging wave that violently envelops him.
Gu Xing couldn't breathe and couldn't escape, and he was happy with it.
It was the first time in his life that Gu Xingjue took the initiative to drag someone into this mess. It was the first time that he fell deeply in love without realizing it. It was his ignorance and stupidity that hurt Chen Song's heart.
He didn't know how to remedy the situation. No matter what he said or did now, Chen Song was completely resistant. He needed to think things through and slowly come up with a solution. Chen Song was staying in Beichengjing City and wouldn't be going anywhere. He had plenty of time to wait for Chen Song to calm down.
But he couldn't wait, he missed Chen Song and wanted to lock him up in the house, and wanted to kill Yun Jingsheng. But Yun Jingsheng was Yun Che's man, a member of the Yun family, and he couldn't touch him no matter how crazy he was.
He was more afraid that Chen Song would hate him and never forgive him in his lifetime. But he also had a conflicting thought: if he could really lock Chen Song by his side for the rest of his life, it wouldn't matter if Chen Song hated him because of Yun Jingsheng.
As long as Chen Song is by his side, he will not be abandoned by the world.
Gu Xingjue called someone to send over some clean clothes and the CFMOTO 250SR, and casually dried his hair.
"Can you afford this much time?" Xie Yanchen asked, "You haven't slept for a few days and you still dare to drive? The snow is so thick on the ground now, are you dying again?"
Gu Xingjue put some hairspray on his hair and styled it, which made Xie Yanchen want to vomit: "How can a peacock spread its tail so coquettishly?"
"What do you know?" Gu Xingjue glanced at him through the mirror. "For so many years, I've acknowledged that I'm the most dissolute playboy in Beijing. You're the one who gave me the title of most romantic. You're heartless, unlike me."
Xie Yanchen sneered: "Why are you so proud, Gu Dog? You dare to bark when someone catches you."
Gu Xingjue fixed his hair, turned around, brushed past his shoulder, and looked at him with pity: "Brother Fengliu, do you know the saying that things change over time? I'm waiting for the day when you fall. Sooner or later, someone will punish you."
Xie Yanchen said: "I don't know. I don't believe what others say. I only believe in myself."
Gu Xingjue picked up the helmet on the table, waved goodbye and left.
The snow outside was not as heavy as imagined, but the road was indeed difficult to drive on. It was a bit slippery for Chunfeng, so Gu Xingjue did not drive that fast, and finally Chunfeng stopped at the gate of C University.
It was four in the afternoon, and the entrance to University C was unusually deserted. The gate was closed, and there was no one on campus. Gu Xingjue thought the university students might have a lot of classes today, so he didn't pay much attention.
Last time, I added Chen Song through Ye Jiajia, but Chen Song refused to agree after he woke up in the hospital. Now, if I want to enter the school, I have to call Ye Jiajia out. Fortunately, I added her last time. Otherwise, I would have to go through the school again this time.
According to the current situation, it would be more convenient for him to sneak in, but he just wanted to call Ye Jiajia out and get some information from her about Chen Song's situation in school.
Gu Xingjue called Ye Jiajia and answered the phone after a few rings: "You haven't reconciled after the quarrel yet?"
Gu Xingjue: “…”
"Come pick me up at the school gate."
Ye Jiajia was surprised: "You are at the school gate???"
Gu Xingjue said: "What else?"
Ye Jiajia said, "Are you sick? Don't you know it's winter break? C University doesn't allow students to stay in the dormitory during winter break. Besides, this semester is Chen Song's last semester at school, so he can be said to have graduated. He went out for an internship in the second half of his senior year."
Gu Xingjue stared blankly at the snow-covered campus, feeling an inexplicable bitterness in his heart, and he actually understood the reason for this bitterness.
Because he owed Chen Song too much and didn't know anything about him. He didn't even know that he was a senior and it was winter break.
So where would Chen Song go now? The only place he could think of was...
"Hello?" Ye Jiajia asked, "Are you listening? Chen Song is so unlucky that he is... entangled with you. If you don't treat him well..."
Gu Xingjue hung up the phone and threw it into his pocket. He turned around, strode onto his Spring Breeze, and drove back to Chen Song's home excitedly. He walked to the door with ease.
Gu Xingjue took a few deep breaths, slowed down his breathing, straightened his clothes, and then rang the doorbell.
The doorbell rang for a while, but no one answered.
Gu Xingjue pressed the button again. Over and over again, the only response he got was the neighbor across the street opening the door and yelling at him.
The old lady scolded him from behind, "You haven't been home for so long, young man! You don't even bring your keys with you when you go out! You never bring them with you, and you keep ringing the doorbell. Isn't that noisy? Isn't that noisy? You're disturbing the neighbors, don't you know?"
Gu Xingjue didn't say anything either, he just stood there silently without moving, which made the aunt feel scared. In the past, she would be ridiculed when she scolded him.
Seeing that he didn't ring the doorbell again, the aunt cursed him as a "madman" and closed the door.
Chen Song didn’t come back. No, it should be Chen Song who came back, but he didn’t want to see himself.
Maybe Chen Song was pretending to be asleep. He could never wake someone who was pretending to be asleep.
Gu Xingjue really didn't bring his key this time. He rarely brought it with him in the past, and Chen Song would always come back to open the door for him.
He often calls Chen Song "surprise," but Chen Song is actually his "surprise." Whenever he can't find the true sense of survival in extreme sports, he comes to Chen Song.
Because the home-cooked meals made by Chen Song are delicious, because Chen Song will take care of him, because... Chen Song is the only person in the world who loves him, the only person in the world who gives him a home.
Gu Xingjue subconsciously touched the door handle and turned it gently. The door opened with a soft sound. Gu Xingjue jumped for a moment. Did Chen Song leave the door open for him?
The darkness and woody scent that greeted him disproved this assumption. It didn't look like anyone had ever lived in here. The air inside was even damp and musty, likely because it hadn't been ventilated in a long time.
Gu Xingjue walked in, turned on the light, and changed his shoes. He opened the shoe cabinet and found that all of Chen Song's shoes were gone, not even his slippers.
Gu Xing's determination faltered. He turned on all the lights in the house and found that many things about Chen Song were gone.
When did it disappear? When did it disappear? How come he didn’t notice?
Gu Xingjue walked into the bedroom, and without turning on the light, he suddenly opened the wardrobe, which was almost empty.
The curtains were slightly opened, and a faint glow from outside shone through the gap.
Gu Xingjue searched with the faint light. He was sweating all over. He searched everywhere but found only a few pieces of clothes, all of which belonged to Gu Xingjue.
Gu Xingjue sat down on the bed dejectedly and quickly sorted out his thoughts.
Chen Song did not leave. His clothes must have been taken with him when he moved to school.
No, it wasn't. After they had a big fight, he was the one who asked Chen Song to take everything away.
He also said that those things were rubbish and Chen Song took them all away.
When was it taken away?
Gu Xingjue's mind was in a state of confusion. He couldn't remember many things, or more accurately, he simply didn't remember them. Because of his bad childhood memories, he was good at using forgetting to numb the pain.
Gu Xingjue looked out the window through the gap in the curtains, and saw a vast white world.
He remembered that one night Chen Song called him and said he would return the key to him. Gu Xingjue was very angry, not knowing what Chen Song was making a fuss about. Now he thought that it must be Chen Song's way out for him.
He didn't leave. Chen Song really took everything away. No wonder, no wonder that last night they did it, he felt a little strange when he returned to this house, as if something was missing.
But at that time, his mind was solely on Chen Song and he didn't notice the changes in the room.
Gu Xingjue retracted his gaze, and when he lowered his eyes, his gaze fell on the gap between the bedside table. In the gap, a red rope was hidden in the dimness.
That was the red rope woven by Chen Song to bless him with a safe ride.
Gu Xingjue's eyes stung. He opened the drawer, which contained three things.
A red rope, a black velvet box, and a black leather notebook.
Gu Xingjue picked up the red rope and carefully stroked the patterns on the surface. The tingling touch slid across his skin, just like the feeling when Chen Song touched him.
Gu Xing felt a pang of sadness in his resolve. He always lost the red string Chen Song gave him. He didn't cherish it. This was the last string Chen Song said he would weave for him, and he would definitely not lose it again.
Gu Xingjue put the red string back on, carefully handling it as if it were a treasure. His eyes fell on the black velvet box again. He picked it up and opened it, only to see two gleaming silver rings lying quietly inside, their patterns inside and out exquisitely carved.
GM∞CS is printed on the inner pattern.
Gu Xingjue suddenly remembered what Ye Jiajia said. She met Chen Song in a DIY couple ring shop. The name of the person engraved on Chen Song's other half was GM.
Gu Xingjue widened his eyes slightly and suddenly realized, gm, Gu Mo.
GM is Gu Mo.
Corresponding to the time Ye Jiajia mentioned, Chen Song had thought he was Gu Mo. But how he knew that, he needed to find out. Ye Jiajia would surely be able to explain it. He would find a chance to ask Ye Jiajia.
Gu Xingjue carefully examined the two silver rings, his heart filled with sadness, mixed with the happiness of being cherished and loved. Gu Xingjue put the ring on his left ring finger, just right.
He took off the necklace from his neck, passed it through Chen Song's ring, and put it back on his neck.
Finally, there was the black leather notebook. Gu Xingjue had seen it several times. Late at night, when Chen Song couldn't sleep, he would get up and sit at the head of the bed with this notebook, writing something.
Gu Xingjue was curious, but he never asked.
Gu Xingjue opened the notebook and saw the following on the title page:
Gu Mo
Gu Xingjue's breathing stagnated and his heart beat faster.
He flipped back to the first page.
2018.2.17 Snow on the second day of the Lunar New Year 21:43
I picked up a guy on New Year's Eve. He was a very good-looking man. I saw him drunk in the snow, shouting: Don't leave me, Mom.
He was like a homeless stray dog, just like me at 17. So I brought him back home, so I could say that we could keep each other company.
