Holiday Tea House (VI)
The tea house has a beautiful environment and the air is filled with the fragrance of new tea. Although the weather is a bit cold, it does not prevent Yu Shu from enjoying the quiet natural scenery. He walks along the river and enjoys the sun slowly rising.
Yu Shu let down his guard and became a temporary vacation partner with Li Chen and Gao Ziyang from next door, waiting to watch the sunrise together before dawn.
He asked Yu Huan and Wang Zhiyao, "Do you want to watch the sunrise together?"
But they didn't want to leave their warm bed, so they all gave the answer of "sleep a little longer".
As for what he learned the evening before yesterday, Yu Shu accepted it and digested it quickly.
"Don't you like your brother?" Wang Zhiyao came back to his senses and couldn't believe that someone actually liked him.
Feeling happy, nervous, and with a swell of inferiority complex, Wang Zhiyao lowered his head after he finished speaking, and only dared to raise his eyelids secretly to glance at the brothers' reactions.
Yu Huan's gaze fell on Yu Shu, switching back and forth between regret, self-mockery and restrained desire. After a long time, he turned to Wang Zhiyao and put on a relaxed and indifferent smile, as if the depression just now had never existed.
"Well, I do like him, but after I followed him out, I increasingly felt that it was impossible for us." Yu Huan swallowed and whispered.
Yu Shu couldn't listen any longer: "Of course it's impossible for you and me, but you can't use Wang Zhiyao as a carrier of your feelings for me."
"No, no." Yu Huan quickly shook his head to explain.
From the moment Yu Shu entrusted him to go to the hospital to take care of Wang Zhiyao, he got to know Wang Zhiyao, the child who would break if touched at all but still persevered alone.
Yu Huan initially felt sympathy for Wang Zhiyao and wanted to take care of him. But as he got to know him better, he realized that Wang Zhiyao didn't need pity or sympathy. To escape the hellish pit, even with scars all over his body, he was able to hold up his broken body and start again.
"I didn't want to go to university on a whim, nor did I study and work at the same time because I was bored." Yu Huan smiled.
He often carries snacks and sweets in his bag because Wang Zhiyao is malnourished and has low blood sugar, and he is afraid that Wang Zhiyao will suddenly faint.
"Okay, don't worry. Your brother has grown up and has his own plans." Gao Ziyang kicked a small stone, and the stone skipped three or four times on the river surface.
The sky was a hazy white, and Yu Shu's mind was as blurry as the sky. He said nothing, but they knew what he was thinking.
Yu Shu froze in his tracks, frowning as he stared at their backs.
Li Chen couldn't hear Yu Shu's footsteps, so he turned around and confessed nonchalantly, "It's just a mind-reading technique, I don't mean any harm."
It's strange that fortune tellers can actually read minds.
"You have to make a choice." Gao Ziyang's pupils lost focus, but he grabbed Yu Shu's shoulders and comforted him in a serious tone.
Yu Shu was confused: "Huh? What choice should I make?"
Gao Ziyang's eyes returned to normal, and he had no memory of what had just happened. He asked, "What choice?"
"It's okay, you'll know when you get back." Li Chen narrowed his eyes and looked at him briefly.
It was particularly cold before dawn, and the breeze woke Yu Shudong up. His eye sockets, nose and earlobes were red, giving people the illusion that he had just cried.
The sun slowly rises, refreshing the faded scenery, and the fresh green is full of vigorous vitality.
It was almost time, so Yu Shu suggested going back.
"You should wear more clothes when you get up in the middle of winter to watch the sunrise. Look, your nose and ears are red."
Li Qingyan took off the scarf from his neck and put it on Yu Shu.
Yu Shu instinctively blocked Li Qingyan's hand: "Why are you here?"
"I came here after I finished my work and applied for leave."
Li Qingyan blew a breath into his palm and tried to cover Yu Shu's red, frozen ears.
Yu Shu dodged again, and put his resistance on the table: "Don't do this, it's not appropriate."
"What's inappropriate? Are you still thinking about Jiang Yu?" Li Qingyan was also stubborn and would not give up until he covered it up.
"It has nothing to do with him." Yu Shu said unhappily.
After pushing and pulling twice, Yu Shu was too lazy to resist and let Li Qingyan's warm palm wrap around his ears which were slightly numb from the cold.
He was just about to turn around and introduce himself to Li Chen and Gao Ziyang to ease the awkwardness, but when he turned around, there was no one behind him, and there was no place around for two 1.8-meter-tall men to hide.
It was as if no one had ever accompanied him to watch the sunrise.
"Hey, where are Li Chen and Gao Ziyang? I'd like to introduce you to two friends I know."
Li Qingyan's expression froze, and he waved his hands several times in front of Yu Shu, but Yu Shu, who didn't understand what was going on, grabbed his hands and pressed them down.
"What for?" Yu Shu asked.
Li Qingyan pointed at the empty space behind him and said, "I saw you walking back alone from a distance. Where did your two friends come from?"
The doubt and disbelief in Yu Shu's eyes surged like a surging river. He stared at the empty grassland behind him, then looked at Li Qingyan in front of him.
"Impossible! They live next door to me. We made an appointment to watch the sunrise together last night, and they came over to call me this morning."
"There's no one next door to you. When I made the reservation the day before yesterday, I saw that villas 14 and 12 were empty." Li Qingyan looked solemn.
So who are the two people he has been in contact with these days?
Yu Shu's gaze passed over Li Qingyan, and the man in black robe appeared again. He was standing far away, his black clothes swaying in the wind. The more he looked, the more it looked like he was floating in the air.
He grinned and waved at Yu Shu as if saying goodbye.
Yu Shuxiao took a half step back and pointed behind Li Qingyan.
Immediately, he felt a strong sense of dizziness. After a while of spinning, his vision gradually turned black. He lost his strength and fell to the soft ground with a thud.
A vague sound came from my ears.
"The doctor came to see him and said that he was in good physical condition and his brain waves were active. He was just sleeping."
"Who in their right mind can sleep for three days and two nights without waking up?"
"It must be related to that man in black robe, but I haven't seen him in the past few days."
"We've looked for the man in black robe you mentioned several times but haven't seen him."
"And it's very clean here, without that smell."
Yu Shu slowly opened his eyes amid the discussion of the three people, and his temples felt slightly numb.
"What do you mean three days and two nights?" Yu Shu's voice was as hoarse as if it had been rolled over by a wheel.
But his voice was too soft, and Yu Huan, Wang Zhiyao and Li Qingyan, who had their backs to him, didn't notice it at all.
So he coughed hard a few times and finally attracted their attention.
Li Qingyan was the first to rush to Yu Shu and asked nervously, "Where do you feel uncomfortable?"
Yu Shu licked his lips, and Yu Huan immediately brought him some warm water.
"I slept for three days and two nights?" Yu Shu's throat felt better and he spoke more easily.
The three of them nodded.
But before he woke up, he was still watching the sunrise and feeling the cold wind and moist air on his face. It was so real and not like a dream at all.
Everything that happened during those three days was real to him, and he was absolutely certain that it was not a dream. In his "dream", Li Qingyan came. After he "woke up", Li Qingyan was right in front of him.
He couldn't help but have a bold question: Is he really awake?
Under the worried gaze of the three people, Yu Shu leisurely took out his cell phone and took a look.
The best way to prove whether he was awake or not was Jiang Yu’s chat box. He also replied to the messages Jiang Yu sent him in his “dream”.
The latest news is the sharing of Bilibili’s couple’s tacit understanding challenge video.
After scrolling up more than twenty messages, Jiang Yu's words, "Okay, I can wait," caught my eye.
"Am I really awake?" Yu Shu raised his head and moved his gaze 180 degrees, hoping to see some clues that would allow him to distinguish clearly whether it was a dream or reality.
"What nonsense are you talking about? You must be awake. You've been asleep for three days and two nights and your two brothers are worried sick. I just got here and I'm still trying to figure out what to do. Fortunately, you're awake."
Li Qingyan squatted in front of Yu Shu's bed and held Yu Shu's hands with both hands.
Yu Shu was still very resistant to Li Qingyan's overtures and didn't want to stay with him, but considering the issue of face, he changed his words: "Wang Zhiyao just mentioned the man in black robes. I also saw him before I opened my eyes. How about you help me investigate him?"
"You don't want to chase me away, do you?" Li Qingyan narrowed his eyes and clenched his hands tighter.
Yu Shu remained calm: "Of course not, I just have something to say to Yu Huan and Wang Zhiyao. If you don't mind, it's fine with me."
"Okay, I thought too much. Sorry." Li Qingyan paused: "Then I'll go out and wait for Wang Zhiyao. I may not be able to handle it alone."
"I'll go with you." Yu Huan asked bluntly: "Go out and wait for me first, I want to talk to my brother."
The hazy soft light spread into the room and fell on Yu Shu, like a halo woven specially for him, adding a touch of gentleness and haziness.
Yu Shu lowered his eyes, looked at his slender fingers with distinct joints, and said calmly: "Yu Huan, do you like me?"
There was a slight banging sound outside the door.
Li Qingyan didn't go far. He wanted to eavesdrop outside the door, but he didn't expect to hear such explosive content.
However, Yu Shudang did not hear it. He stared at Yu Huan quietly, urging him to give an answer with his eyes.
Who knew Yu Huan would ask back: "Do you like Jiang Yu?"
"Answer my question first." An imperceptible embarrassment and shyness flashed across Yu Shu's face.
"When you were unconscious, you called Jiang Yu's name several times." Yu Huan's shoulders slumped and his back slowly bent, like a balloon slowly deflated.
"Since you know that I like you, why do you still get so close to Jiang Yu?" Yu Huan changed his usual gentle and obedient attitude in front of Yu Shu, and complained with an unwilling and resentful tone.
Yu Shu was speechless. The words he had organized were stuck in his throat, unable to be swallowed or spit out. He had to take a deep breath to adjust his mood.
Wang Zhiyao pulled Yu Huan over and said, "Brother Yu Huan, don't get excited. Brother Yu Shu just woke up. Let's talk slowly. Brother Yu Shu doesn't mean to blame you, right?" Then he gave Yu Shu a look.
Yu Shu nodded quickly: "Yes, I did dream about some things. I dreamed about my birth certificate and many things about you."
Yu Huan held Wang Zhiyao's hand, calmed down, and sat next to him: "What on earth have you been through?"
"On the day we arrived here, Wang Zhiyao and I both saw the man in the black robe. I don't know when I fell asleep, but then the young men in the next room were interested in the origins of my physique and came to talk to me. They told me a lot of things in my dream."
Just as he finished speaking, another message from Jiang Yu popped up on his phone: "You haven't replied to messages all day today. Are you feeling unwell? Or did something happen to you?"
"No, you asked Brother Yu Huan to go to the underground first floor to find some tea leaves to make tea. When I came out with him, I saw you were unconscious until just now."
Yu Huan's eyebrows wrinkled four or five times. "There are no guests staying in rooms 12 and 14 next door."
