Nice to meet you!
The courier waiting outside the door was holding an oversized box. "You're finally out. Since this item needs to be delivered in person, I can't leave it directly at the door. I hope I didn't disturb you."
Lin Xunye calmed his expression, but disappointment was spreading in his heart. He smiled and said, "It's okay. Give me the pen."
The courier took off the ballpoint pen pinned to his chest and handed it to him. Lin Xunye took it, pressed it open with his thumb, and wrote his name on the express box.
The courier was talkative and familiar with Lin Xunye. He took advantage of the moment when Lin Xunye was writing to say, "Xiao Lin, take the children out less these two days. There's a strange man standing downstairs. He's been standing there all day and all night. I saw him this morning, and he's still standing there now."
The tip of the pen paused for a moment, and Lin Xunye's back stiffened. He asked casually, "Is it the person with the azure eyes?"
The courier shook his head. "It doesn't look like a deep blue. It looks more like a grayish blue, which makes people feel depressed."
Lin Xunye gripped the pen tightly, and the tip of the pen left a scratch on the express delivery slip. He hummed softly and handed the pen back to the courier.
Even after the courier came downstairs, he was still standing at the door staring at the stairs in a daze.
Memories emerged in his mind one after another like a rolling tide. Lin Xunye's eyes gradually turned red and a low moan came from his throat.
Like the cry of a trapped beast.
It's also like a foreshadowing of a tide caused by a blocked heart suddenly being unblocked.
Gu Pei's eyes are azure blue, how could they be a grayish blue?
Lin Xunye shook his head in self-mockery, holding back the tears that were about to burst out, and returned to the house with the express box in his hands.
But with every step he took, he wanted to turn around and rush downstairs to see if the person standing down there for a day and a night was Gu Pei.
The longing is infinitely magnified in my heart.
Before he knew it, Orange ran over and hugged his legs.
"Dad, where is big dad?" Chengzi raised his little face pitifully, his little hands picking at Lin Xunye's trouser legs.
Lin Xunye was stunned by the question.
He smiled stiffly: "Big Dad, Big Dad might be busy."
Orange still had that pitiful expression on his face, his nose wrinkled, as if he was about to cry. He tilted his head to glance at the door and asked anxiously, "Dad, why did you close the door? Is Big Daddy outside?!"
There was a cry in Chengzi's voice, which plucked at Lin Xunye's heartstrings that he pretended to be strong, and destroyed the wall of his heart that he thought was strong enough to withstand everything.
Lin Xunye couldn't hold it in any longer. Tears streamed down his cheeks and dripped onto his palms. He threw the package aside, squatted down, hugged Chengzi, and choked out, "Chengzi, please don't cry. Daddy will buy you a small cake."
Orange shook his head, "I want daddy..."
Lin Xunye buried his head in the hood of his Orange pajamas, tears rolling down his face like a broken string, like a kitten awakened by a soft thorn, unable to find a suitable way to vent his tears.
The big and the small hugged each other and cried bitterly, but the only sound in the living room was the child's undisguised crying.
The child was weak, so Orange fell asleep after crying for a while.
Even after falling asleep, Chengzi still held on to Lin Xunye's clothes tightly. The tears on his cheeks rubbed onto Lin Xunye's chest, soaking the fabric on his chest. Lin Xunye patted his back and put Chengzi on the small bed.
Orange's nose was red from crying, and she was sobbing in her dream.
Lin Xunye's situation was not much better than his, with tears still hanging on his eyelashes.
He wiped his face roughly, picked up his coat and put it on, then walked quickly towards the door.
However, when he actually wanted to open the door, he hesitated.
He hoped that the person below was Gu Pei.
But what if it really is...
Lin Xunye let go of the door handle and stood there with his head down, thinking nothing, and daring not to think anything.
The bedroom door was not closed, and he could still hear Chengzi's occasional moans. Lin Xunye's limbs felt cold, but his heart was burning.
The clock struck one in the morning before Lin Xunye came out of his own world.
He turned his head to look at the ticking clock, tears blurring his eyes again.
For three whole years, he completely disappeared from Gu Pei's life, but he also missed Gu Pei for three years.
Even if there was no Chengzi who looked like Gu Pei, and no Chengzi who often talked about wanting a big daddy, Lin Xunye would still think of Gu Pei.
This is a fact, he can't deny it.
He missed Gu Pei so much, even if it was just to meet him once?
As the thought of seeing Gu Pei popped up in his mind, it was like a seedling pressed underground by a huge rock and absorbing nutrients, breaking through the soil at this moment.
Lin Xunye no longer hesitated. He opened the door and stepped onto the stairs.
Lin Xunye lived on the third floor. Although he went downstairs very quickly, he felt that time was as long as three centuries.
At one o'clock in the morning, there was no one outside and no one was coming in or out. The only sound in the corridor was the sound of Lin Xunye's footsteps as he went down the stairs.
Running downstairs, Lin Xunye pushed open the door and walked out quickly.
After having Orange, Lin Xunye rarely goes out in the early morning.
He didn't have any particularly close friends in Yun City, and would no longer be called out by Xu Qian to attend parties like before. Over time, he never went out in the early morning again.
Lin Xunye walked all the way to the park outside the community with a nervous mood, but did not see the strange man that the courier mentioned.
The summer evening breeze was refreshing, with some warmth. Lin Xunye stood blankly beside a chair beside the park, looking at the deserted street with loss. His clenched hands kept loosening, but it felt like there was a big hole in Lin Xunye's heart, letting the wind blow in.
It's so uncomfortable. I feel so uncomfortable.
Lin Xunye's years of suppressed pain suddenly erupted. He stared at a certain spot, letting the tears stream down his face without wiping them away. He said bitterly, "Asshole, you still say you like me, you love me? If you've got the guts, come find me!"
After saying that, Lin Xunye bent down from his straight back, covered his face and started crying.
What right does he have to blame Gu Pei?
It was obvious that she was hiding from him and deliberately erasing all traces of her existence, making Gu Pei's every search in vain.
“Woo woo—”
The low and uncontrollable crying was blown away by the evening breeze, and the footsteps came from far away and finally stopped two meters behind Lin Xunye.
Lin Xunye was venting his emotions to his heart's content, not noticing that in this huge park, there was a person he had been thinking about day and night.
And that person is thinking about him all the time.
"Aye, I miss you so much."
The moment Gu Pei's voice rang out, Lin Xunye's crying also stopped abruptly. He tilted his head in disbelief, but stopped before he could clearly see the person behind him.
Was it his hallucination?
Or is Gu Pei really here?
Gu Pei lost his courage after shouting. He kept following Lin Xunye, watching him walking around with his back straight, not knowing what he was looking for. Finally, he came to the park after going around in circles.
Gu Pei just followed him like this, picturing his back, treating it as a beautiful dream, until he heard Lin Xunye crying, then he mustered up the courage to shout out.
He misses Aye so much.
The stars at night were exceptionally bright. Lin Xunye kept his head tilted and did not turn around.
The light from the street lamp shone on the two people, and Lin Xunye saw their shadows reflected on the ground.
It was him and Gu Pei.
It was Lin Xunye and Gu Pei.
"Aye..." Gu Pei swallowed the saliva secreted due to excessive nervousness, "I, miss you so much..."
Gu Pei had imagined the scene of meeting again many times, but he never thought that they would meet in a strange city and a completely unfamiliar place.
But it is inevitable that they will meet sooner or later.
Hearing the familiar name again, Lin Xunye would be lying if he said he didn't miss her.
But his body was out of control and his throat seemed to be broken, so he couldn't make any sound.
He suddenly wanted to pretend to be busy and take a walk away, but it was early morning and no normal person would go out for a walk at this time, and Gu Pei would not do the same.
Lin Xunye vaguely knew why he appeared here.
But he didn't dare admit it.
The hedgehog cat wearing armor will avoid danger on its own.
But Lin Xunye is not only a hedgehog cat who uses a false shell to protect himself, he is also Gu Pei's lover.
He is Gu Pei's lover.
After being absolutely certain in his heart, Lin Xunye seemed to have put everything behind him and wanted to indulge in this illusion, even if it was just a dream.
He turned around, but after seeing the figure that had appeared in his mind countless times, all those light-hearted drafts disappeared.
Left with the wind.
Clean as a whim.
Gu Pei just stood there, hidden in the darkness, staring at him with a pair of gray eyes.
When they met again, the light was dim and Lin Xunye couldn't see the man's face clearly, but his heart recognized him before him.
The feeling of his heart tightening and then relaxing was not pleasant. Lin Xunye pressed his chest, took a breath very slowly, and looked straight at Gu Pei who was looking back at him with the same eyes.
The man's eyes widened, his lips moved twice, as if he had a thousand words to say. Lin Xunye looked away, and just as he was about to run away, he heard Gu Pei say, "You've lost weight."
"Aye, you've lost weight."
The two parted in the bleak autumn, but met again in the hot summer. Those photos that had been depicted countless times could not compare to the face they saw now.
Lin Xunye's lower abdomen tightened, covering up the soreness in his chest. He took a step back and moved the hand that was pressing on his chest down to his lower abdomen. He pressed hard, like a poor man who was sick and knew the cause but couldn't cure it.
The gentle evening breeze blew past his ears, and Lin Xunye's nose moved slightly, and he smelled the bitter scent of citrus.
Suddenly, he recalled the day when he gave birth to Orange. Before he lost consciousness in the pain, he had only one thought.
He missed Gu Pei so much.
His eyelashes trembled. Finally, the tears that he had not shed when he left three years ago found a home at this moment. Along with them came the hug that he had imagined hundreds and thousands of times in his dreams.
The familiar citrus-scented pheromones surrounded him. Lin Xunye wanted to say something, but when he opened his mouth, he couldn't stop crying.
The two were speechless. The only sound in this empty park was Gu Pei's repeated "Aye".
Lin Xunye cried silently for a long time, and Gu Pei called him "Aye" countless times.
By the end, both of their voices became hoarse to varying degrees.
Lin Xunye stepped out of his arms, as if feeling ashamed, turned around and wiped away her tears with the back of her hand.
There was a large wet spot on Gu Pei's shoulder. He raised his hand to cover it, and with his other hand he quietly took Lin Xunye's hand hanging at his side. Just like the little gesture he made after every intimate moment, he scratched Lin Xunye's ring finger with his little finger.
No ring.
Lin Xunye noticed his little movement, didn't shake him off, but didn't shake his hand back either.
He tried not to look at Gu Pei, so he naturally asked, "Why are you here? Hai City is quite far from here."
Gu Pei gently rubbed his ring finger, which had a ring mark on it: "Because my lover is here."
