chapter Ten
"I'm so brave, little brother."
Xue Bai's voice came from the end of the corridor.
The man's school uniform jacket was zippered open, and he carried a schoolbag on one shoulder, and only brought one side of the headphones, which was a waste of time.
"Aren't you afraid of being caught in a while? Smoking, you have to write a three thousand words of review, send it to the principal's office, and you will be informed by the whole school. After all, you will not sleep in the past few days."
"..." Xue Bai's dormitory was on the other side, and he obviously walked up the stairs on purpose. Gu Yang asked, "What's the matter?"
Xue Bai leaned against the wall opposite Gu Yang, bent one leg, took out a candy from his pocket, threw it into his mouth, stood face to face with him, and said, "Come and see you, look at my little brother."
Gu Yang: "…Shut up."
Xue Bai said: "Have you read the chicken soup? Is it very warm? Your deskmate cares so much about you, can you remember every one of your preferences? Are you moved?"
"..." Gu Yang didn't want to talk nonsense with this person, so he turned around and wanted to go back to the dormitory. Suddenly, his eyes became dark.
At about 11 o'clock, the dormitory building turned off lights on time. Perhaps the power was cut off before the game was finished. A fierce wail broke out in a dormitory. After a moment, the dormitory area became completely quiet.
Gu Yang's wrist was pulled.
On a winter night, there was not even the sound of insects. The drizzling night wind blew by. Xue Bai let go of his hand before Gu Yang shook him away, crumpled the candy paper into a ball, and stuffed it into his pocket.
"I came to find you specifically, so give me a back?" Xue Bai asked, "Let me stay there?"
The plastic wrapping paper made a "Zlazla" sound. Xue Bai turned on the flashlight of his phone, turned it into a less dazzling warm light, and stood on the windowsill.
Dust floats in the halo.
Gu Yang stopped and leaned against the door frame, giving him a faceless face.
Xue Bai stretched out his hand and said, "Give it to me."
Gu Yang: "?"
Xue Bai's eyes pointed at half of Gu Yang's bulging pocket, raised his chin and said "Hmm", and the ending sound was upturned.
Gu Yang hesitated for a moment, reached into his pocket, and after a while, he took out his hand and said, "Don't worry."
"I don't." Xue Bai stepped forward and grabbed it directly.
Gu Yang took the action to block it, and the two of them put their palms on the back of their hands for a few moves. Gu Yang didn't have much patience to accompany Xue Bai to make trouble inexplicably, and spread his hands and gave up.
Xue Bai successfully took away the cigarette and lighter, took a few more steps, stood side by side with Gu Yang, and asked him, "Don't feel good?"
Gu Yang didn't say anything.
Xue Bai had long been used to it. He chewed the candy in his mouth and had nothing to say: "Will you go home on the weekend?"
Gu Yang replied: "If you don't reply, what about you."
Gu Yang didn't die of chatting for the first time.
"I have to go back this week. I have to leave something at home after school. I don't like to go back normally, and there is no one at home."
Gu Yang: "Oh."
Xue Bai continued: "My parents are running business abroad and come back only once every three or two years. My sister is studying in Beijing. Even if I go back home, I am the only one at home. It's better to stay in school."
Gu Yang glanced at Xue Bai and said nothing.
"My sister, a college tycoon, holds a book all day long, and she is in her twenties, and has never talked about love once. She always wants me to go to Beijing, and ask me to choose one at Tsinghua University and Peking University all day long." Speaking of this, Xue Bai paused and changed the subject, "Have you ever thought about going in the future?"
Gu Yang said: "No."
He never thought about the future.
During that dark day, Gu Yang once thought he would not have a future.
Xue Bai smiled and said, "I want to go to Nanjing, where life is slow. I don't have any ideals, I just want to live an ordinary life."
Gu Yang listened quietly.
"Please choose a major you like in college, and after graduation, you can work on your favorite job, live in your favorite city, and live a regular old age life from 9 to 5. Occasionally, when you are tired of regularity, you will go out to play crazy for a while before coming back."
Gu Yang: "Yes."
Xue Bai said: "If possible, it is best to find someone you like and go together."
When he spoke, the corners of the boy's mouth curled slightly, and his eyes seemed to be filled with a pool of stars, shining with a glimmer of light.
After Xue Bai finished speaking, he grabbed Gu Yang's hand, put the cigarette and lighter back into his palm, raised his eyes and looked at him: "Stop smoking this thing, it's not mainstream, and it's also harmful to the body."
The boy's fingertips were warm and he held the back of his hand.
Not at all black.
In the dim and warm light, a boy stood beside him, looking at him, smiling at him, and then said to him: "Little brother, wear more clothes tomorrow, your hands are very cold."
The softest part in my heart seemed to have been poked by something.
"If you have something, please tell me, little brother, don't hold it in."
"...Hmm." Gu Yang replied.
The smell of sugar was mixed in the air.
Xue Bai wanted to take out another candy, and reached out to touch it in his pocket. It was empty and gone, and Xue Bai sighed.
Gu Yang stretched out his hand to him, and a candy lay in his palm.
Xue Bai was stunned and his hands didn't move.
"..." Gu Yang raised it for a while, and saw that Xue Bai did not move, he asked coldly, "Do you want me to feed you?"
Xue Bai shook his head and reached out to take it.
He tore the candy open and put it in his mouth. He didn't know what kind of emotion he was, and Xue Bai was reluctant to bite it, so he just wanted to slowly contain it.
"Datemate, where did you get the candy?"
“Born.”
The candy smell gradually spread in his mouth and wrapped around his tongue. Xue Bai didn't know what to say for a moment, and was quiet for a moment.
Gu Yang was playing with his mobile phone down. The light on the mobile phone screen hit his face, and the sharpness and indifference between his eyebrows and eyes were diluted.
The eyelashes trembled, Gu Yang looked up at Xue Bai, and blinked without any emotion.
I was stirred by this little move for no reason.
Xue Bai said: "It's very sweet."
Gu Yang: "Yes."
They stood in the corridor for a while, but didn't say anything. After a while, Xue Bai held up his headphones and asked, "Do you listen to the song?"
Gu Yang did not answer.
The phone leaning against the windowsill was taken away, and the light moved a few times, a little dazzling. The next second, Gu Yang's ears were gently stuffed into a headphone.
Xue Bai clicked on the music software and pressed the play button. The previous song had reached the end. After the remaining few seconds of the accompaniment in the headphones, he automatically jumped to the next song.
It is a song with a particularly soothing rhythm. It sings a female voice, with a nice voice and a soft tone.
They stood quietly for a while, holding a headphone cable between them, and music was playing in the headphones.
Xue Bai is always noisy and rarely has such a quiet time.
After a song was broadcast, Gu Yang took off his headphones and gave it to Xue Bai. Xue Bai took it, but no one said anything.
Xue Bai zipped the jacket and said, "I'm leaving."
Gu Yang lowered his head: "Yes."
The corridor was very dark, and Xue Bai did not turn off the flashlight and walked along the way.
The orange-yellow light shook in sight.
Halfway through, the halo suddenly stopped. Xue Bai turned around, held up his cell phone and waved to Gu Yang, calling out: "Little brother!"
A muffled sound came from the sky, low and deep, coming from a very far place.
It's not a holiday, and someone is setting off fireworks in the distance, exploding in the night sky bit by bit.
Xue Bai smiled: "Towards the light."
Xue Bai's voice was not loud. He walked through half of the corridor and mixed with the explosion of fireworks in the distance, which seemed a bit far away.
Gu Yang was waiting for his words.
"The song I just heard, "Towards the Light."
The vast sky, the fireworks are brilliant, and the beautiful night sky.
