2. "Let's break up"
Gu Shengge finished his third part-time job, hurriedly bought groceries, and when he opened the door, the small living room was filled with smoke.
Heavy blackout curtains blocked all light from the window, and darkness and gloom waved ugly minions and occupied the small room.
Blue-white soot and burned-out cigarette butts can be found in every corner of the living room. On the humble single sofa, the gray-faced man held his head in despair, and the tobacco on his fingertips flickered and dimmed, emitting a faint dark red light.
The moment he closed the door, a large area of darkness was quickly shrouded in front of him, and Gu Shengge was stunned in place. Breathing became a little rapid. He almost panicked and touched the switch behind the door for the first time, but was interrupted by the hoarse voice of the man in the living room.
"Don't turn on the lights!"
"Xiao Sheng... Don't turn on the lights!"
The voice was hoarse and high-pitched, like a rusty dagger. It is not sharp, but it cuts deep and shallow blood marks in Gu Shengge's heart.
Digging his nails deep into his palms, Gu Shengge forced himself to suppress the fear and bitterness that were surging wildly in his heart. He fumbled his way out of the phone in his bag, and when he finally turned on the screen, his fingertips trembled uncontrollably.
The faint light gradually seeped out from his palm, and Gu Shengge slowly breathed slowly. Slowly moved towards the man on the couch.
"Zhengyu ......"
"Didn't I say don't turn on the lights!!Are you deaf Gu Shengge!!"
The man interrupted him irritably, raised his head almost frantically and yelled at him, "Turn it off!!Gu Shengge!!Turn off the lights!!"
Stiffly withdrawing the hand that wanted to stroke the man's hair, Gu Shengge turned off the phone in silence.
He silently raised his eyes, trying to see the man in front of him clearly, but he could only see a large area of darkness blooming in front of his eyes, between him and Han Zhengyu. Overwhelming, boundless.
The undulating breathing of the man on the sofa due to the roar gradually subsided, and Gu Shengge finally realized that in such a depressing environment, something might really come to an end.
He found out almost sadly that he really couldn't stop it. Perhaps, I don't want to stop it anymore.
"Shengge...... I am tired. ”
Covering his eyes and slumping on the sofa, Han Jung-woo's voice was a little hoarse.
"Dad called me today, and he said, we're not going to be apart again... Just stopped all my cards. ”
The man said this hoarsely, and fell silent as if it was difficult to continue. In the dark room, there was a suffocating silence.
In the dark, Gu Shengge closed his eyes. He squeezed the mobile phone firmly in his hand, trying to calm the colics in his heart, he bit his lip and looked straight in the direction of the man in the dark, he couldn't see the man's expression, but he could clearly feel that the man lowered his head at the moment just now, and hastily avoided his gaze.
Han Zhengyu lowered his head, he pursed his dry lips, thinking about the hardships of these days, gritted his teeth and broke the silence
"Xiao Sheng, these days... I've lost a lot for you......"
"I've been kicked out of the company,... My car, and my watch, I sold it for you...... I've tried to make some short-term investments, but as long as my dad is there...... You know, I'm just going to lose a mess......"
"I used to think, if you can persevere, then I must be able to do it too. But today, the owner of the pawn shop called and said that he couldn't keep my watch. You know...... It was my most prized piece of limited edition...... No, that's not the point. The point is, Sheng Ge, I don't think I'm fit to live this kind of life for money like you, so hard," the man seemed to think of something, and he let out a low chuckle that bordered on mockery. Then he clenched his fingers and looked at the silent man beside him.
"I can't be with you...... In the end, I was driven to death by the money I used to care about the most. Han Zhengyu slowly looked at Gu Shengge's fair face in the dark, his eyes depressed.
"You know that...... You know I can't stand it... I've become so ...... myself Cheap. ”
Exhale deeply. The man looked away as if he were in a state of mind. He covered his face, and a muffled voice came from his hands.
"Shengge, let's separate. ”
Really...... It's really come to this day.
As if waiting for the death sentence, Gu Shengge in the dark trembled and bit his lip, and the man's voice kept playing back in his head, and his eyes were dizzy.
The man was still talking to himself, his voice was hoarse, and his expression was tired,
"I know we haven't been apart since you came to my house when you were seven years old. But I really think that's enough, Shengge. As of today, most of my life has been given to you, and that's my limit. ”
Gu Shengge's eyes widened and he looked at the person in the dark in a daze, and the corners of his lips were already covered with dark red blood.
Gu Shengge suddenly remembered those pure childish times, he looked at the man in front of him in a daze, he wanted to open his mouth to say something, he wanted to see his face more clearly, but after all, he just pursed his lips, sat on the sofa with his back straight, silent like a sculpture.
He closed his eyes tiredly, waiting for the man's final verdict.
"Stop pestering each other, us. ”
"Break up, Shengge. ”
