Mr. Gao removed the stitches fifteen days after the operation, Jiang You happened to come back from a business trip, signed the postoperative chemotherapy plan, and then followed the old man home with Chen Lou.

During this period of time, his son and students took turns to take care of him, and Mr. Gao recovered better than expected, and even Jiang's mother gained some weight. Speaking of which, Chen Lou's mind was a little more detailed than Jiang You's, and when Mr. Gao had just passed anesthesia after the operation, the knife wound hurt and he was angry, and he was in a state of half-sleep. Jiang You looked anxious, but Chen Lou was very patient, half-kneeling on the bed, letting Teacher Gao lean on himself, and then avoiding the tube on his body with his right hand, from his neck to his arm, kneading and massaging carefully.

For several nights in this way, Jiang You was busy at the time, and when he changed shifts with Chen Lou, he found that Chen Lou was not there, and Teacher Gao couldn't sleep well. He could only clumsily learn Chen Lou's method, and his back hurt in the middle of the night, and half of his body was numb.

The next day, he sighed to Chen Lou: "I didn't expect this to be an ordinary manual work, and you are too good to Teacher Gao." ”

The two of them usually take a look at each other when they change shifts, and Chen Lou basically doesn't talk much except for the occasional little thing about nursing, so he said with a smile: "It's nothing, I'll rest after sleeping." ”

Jiang You was surprised: "Won't it affect your family life?" Don't leave out your wife and children. He said this half-jokingly, but not in a frivolous tone.

Chen Lou didn't hide it, and said with a smile: "A single dog." Jiang You suddenly realized, pointed at himself, and spit out a word: "too." ”

The chat between the two single dogs was much more natural, but they still took turns as caretakers, and there was almost no room for communication. During this period, Jiang You carefully looked for a few special nurses, but the female nurse Teacher Gao found it difficult to accept. The male nurse disliked that their family members demanded too much, so they dragged it back and forth until they were discharged from the hospital.

Jiang's mother was very upset, so she made a table of dishes on the day she was discharged from the hospital to thank Chen Lou. Chen Lou refused, and was persuaded to drink a small can of beer during the banquet, and he got drunk before he finished eating.

The indoor light is moderately dimmed, Mr. Gao is like an old child staring at the dishes that can't be eaten on half a table, and Jiang's mother gently persuaded on the side, but the persuasion didn't have any effect, so the old couple turned around and chanted "unfilial son" Jiang You together. From his clothing habits to Internet addicted youth, in the end, even the "style and discipline button" of his shirt was moved out. Chen Lou sympathized in his heart, but felt that such a family atmosphere was harmonious and gentle, so he tilted his head with everyone to look at the punching bag next to him.

Jiang You looked up helplessly, but just saw the young man who was smiling at him through the wine glass, with a soft and focused expression. Outside the window, the moonlight poured in from one side of the dining room, and the redbud treetops in the community swayed slightly.

Jiang You thought about it, and he didn't drink. But I can't help it, I'm still a little flustered.

On this day, he drove to see off Chen Lou, the two of them didn't say anything all the way, Chen Lou's arm was on the car window, and he didn't know what to think about all the way. Jiang You politely did not disturb, and it was not until he arrived at the door of the hotel that he gently pulled Chen Lou's arm.

Chen Lou looked back at him in surprise, and stopped for a few seconds by pressing the seat belt.

Jiang You hesitated for a while, but said earnestly: "I went abroad back then because I came out of the closet to Teacher Gao and was kicked out. ”

The person in the co-pilot was stunned, and his eyes dodged slightly, but he didn't avoid his sight.

Jiang You's heart suddenly softened, but when he stopped, he leaned over half of his body to help him unbuckle his seat belt, and suddenly smiled at the end and said, "You can't discriminate against me, I have to go to the gas station after I finish telling you." ”

Chen Lou was really diverted and was stunned for a moment: "Gas station? Isn't your car oil-burning? ”

"The car burns oil," Jiang You replied: "I am burning, the capacity of the gall equipped to me by Mr. Gao back then was only 0.4L, and I ran away in one breath just now, hey, you go quickly, I have to go to first aid." ”

After he finished speaking, both of them immediately laughed.

Chen Lou pushed the car door and said with a smile: "I don't discriminate against you." ”

"Then how about taking action," Jiang You tilted his head and shouted: "Tomorrow night at six o'clock, Sinan Restaurant." ”

The next day, the two met at the door of Sinan Restaurant, and coincidentally wore the same clothes again, and when they walked to the restaurant, they provoked all the way to follow them.

Guan Yu was fiddling with his mobile phone with his head down, and noticed that the friend opposite straightened his neck to look behind him, so he glanced sideways without thinking.

Not far behind him, Chen Lou leaned forward with his upper body and seriously studied the menu with the person opposite.

My friend said curiously: "Isn't that your little director?" ”

Guan Yu ignored it, and only looked at Chen Lou who was laughing from a distance.

The friend said, "Is that his friend or ...... The two of them are dressed the same, which is kind of interesting. "Gossip among men is not much worse than that of women, Guan Yu only thought that this Director Jiang was capable and excellent, but he didn't know about his private life.

Before Mr. Gao was discharged from the hospital, he also went to the hospital twice, the first time was with Hongmao, he drove the couple to the hospital, at first Hongmao's wife was puzzled, and then saw him follow up with an expressionless face, but did not enter the ward, only looked at the figure of another person going to fetch water in a daze.

The second time was a rainy day, and Jiang You happened to be in Beijing on a business trip that day, and he gave him good news as soon as he landed. I don't know how many times I've heard such good news over the years, but this time Guan Yu was extremely excited, walked briskly in the office twice, and finally gave himself an excuse and drove to the hospital at a speed.

However, when he ran to the end of the corridor of the ward, he suddenly lost his courage. When he hadn't seen Chen Lou for all these years, he felt that everything was quite peaceful, but once he saw it, he realized how happy he was in his heart. It's just that he was happy, he couldn't understand Chen Lou's attitude, and he was afraid that he would be embarrassed, so he counted his heartbeat from the end of the corridor step by step to the door of the ward, and finally glanced in lightly from the small window on the door.

In the ward, the old gentleman slept soundly, while the young man sat sideways and read a book, and the sun was just right. Guan Yu held back his steps to take it, and after a while, he turned his head and left silently.

Whether he admits it or not, Chen Lou has lived very well without his participation in these years.

He ate absent-mindedly at this dinner and went back to the apartment early. On the desk of the apartment were stacked with documents that he needed to see or sign, from companies, schools, and charitable foundations, and the urgent part was set aside by the assistant, the thickness of a dictionary. Guan Yu washed his hands and sat down to turn the pages one by one, during which he extinguished four or five cigarette butts and added coffee twice, but he turned until midnight, and not a word fell.

A person's hunch always comes true.

Chen Lou was on the way to help Teacher Gao deliver three sets of biochemistry, and he was caught off guard by Jiang You's confession.

At this time, the two have only been together as friends for two weeks, and the information they have learned is that each other's eating tastes are similar, their schedules and rest are the same, they both like to watch suspense and reasoning dramas, and their hobbies are climbing mountains and playing in the water.

Jiang You introduced truthfully: "My parents have accepted it, so you don't have to worry about your parents' problems." I don't have any special hobbies, I don't smoke but I can accept you smoking, I don't like to drink but I can drink a lot, and I can go straight when I go out with two catties of liquor. The personal height is 182 without shoes, the weight is 56 kg, the abdominal muscles are not obvious, and it can be seen by taking a breath and holding his stomach, of course, the physical strength is good. ”

He was witty and humorous, not embarrassing at all, and urged at the end: "Say something quickly, don't look at my nervous little face." ”

His face is not small, his smile is full of white and red, slightly nervous but full of pride. Chen Lou turned his face to look at him, thinking to himself, finally here.

Jiang You is honest, although these small gatherings are all flavor shops or civilian restaurants except for the first time, it seems that they are really entertaining a friend from afar. But Chen Lou knew that if he really got along as friends, there was no need for him to reveal his privacy that night.

These days, he has been thinking about whether he can accept Jiang You's confession one day.

The answer is yes. Or if it is replaced by any other person, as long as the other party is of good character and does not have high requirements, he can seriously consider it. After all, he is about to stand up, and he is leaning on the edge of middle age, and the development of his career, living arrangements and future pension have gradually become clear. Only the emotional fluctuations are very small, and it has become the most meaningless thing.

Chen Lou once had a brief exchange with his friend in S City about this, the other party is a straight man, and now he is mixed in the blind date market, and his feelings are almost the same as him. It's just that the other party thinks more clearly, and sighs with a smile: "What age do you do what age things, when you are in your twenties, you are talking about falling in love, and when you are thirty years old, you are thinking about living, only the first love in your life is bothered, and the subsequent ones are spent." ”

From an intellectual point of view, Jiang You has a good tutor and elegant manners, which can be regarded as the best item after integrating all aspects.

Chen Lou was silent for a long time, his expression was ordinary, and after a long time, he said, "In all fairness, you are really good. But there are many aspects involved in this matter, such as many of my personal habits and shortcomings, our respective work arrangements, such as I want to stay in S University in the future, your work focus is here, how to maintain the relationship between the two places? There are also pension arrangements in the future...... I need to take these things into account, and maybe you need to know more about it. He paused and asked earnestly, "So can I think about it for a few days before I reply to you?" ”

Jiang You nodded: "Of course you can." ”

The two looked at each other and smiled, and Jiang You said again: "I talked about two boyfriends before, and my first love was a high school classmate, and I haven't been in touch for many years. The last one was my college roommate, we have been dating for three years, and now we are very good friends, and occasionally we have dinner and drinks together, do you mind? Do you need me to ......" He thought for a moment, made a knife slashing motion with his hand, and said with a smile: "Leave the relationship behind?" ”

"Of course not," Chen Lou smiled and blinked, "He must be very good." ”

"Yes, I admire him, and you should like him too." Jiang You laughed: "You are very generous. ”

Be generous and not stingy, calm and not pretentious. Chen Lou went all the way to the door of the hotel, and when he heard the taxi driver urging him, he felt that these two words were a little unfamiliar.

He hurriedly paid and got out of the car, and heard the song in the car softly and softly, until the taxi drove away and a car behind him came by with a bright light.

The car came to a slow stop one step away from him, its lights not out. Chen Lou thought that he was blocking someone else's way, and took two steps to the hotel lobby, and felt that something was wrong, so he glanced back.

The black car has a clean body and beautiful lines. He suddenly remembered the conversation when he chose this car, and the man said that the car is enough now.

He said it wasn't enough.

The other party asked, "Then what do you like, let's go to the auto show on the weekend." Asked again: "What's wrong with Lexus?" ”

He was so proud that he hugged the man's neck and said, "Lexus is not good at anything, I like Ford, and the Thunderbolt Ranger car is Ford's." ”

The bottom of my heart was slowly picked up, and the lights of the car did not go out and turned on, until the doorman of the hotel went over and knocked on the window politely. The people inside never made any movement, Chen Lou slowly adapted to the light, squinted his eyes against the strong light, looked at his cheeks biting tightly, looked at him seemed to be a little whiter, but his thin chin was pointed, and looked at him deeply and looked at himself without saying a word.

The Guan Yu he once loved deeply, the Guan Yu who hurt him but didn't know it, the Guan Yu who accompanied him through a long time and went their separate ways, is now silent from him at a distance of two and a glass of glass.

Half a day later, Chen Lou turned around, turned around and hurriedly walked to the elevator. Guan Yu waited again until the sound of a whistle came from behind.

So he drove aimlessly along the main road of City C, and after subconsciously stopping the car, he found that he had arrived at the "beautiful scenery of Yangchun". The former "home" was lit up with warm yellow lights, and Guan Yu remembered that this time it was their kitchen facing the side of the road. Now there were a lot of figures inside, and I could vaguely make out a man and a woman, the woman was a little shorter, bending over to cut things, and the man was tying an apron behind him.

Guan Yu stopped the car, shook out a cigarette and lit it, took a puff and didn't taste right, and came out with a red tower mountain.

The familiar smell of the smoke slowly dissipated, and he adjusted his chair slightly, and sat down until the lights went out. When he dialed Guan Feng's phone, he didn't know what time it was at night, he closed his eyes, and after listening to Guan Feng's surprised inquiry, he whispered, "How is the Jiang You you introduced?" ”

Guan Feng said very well.

Guan Yu asked again: "I said his private life, feelings, character, personality and bad habits, these ......"

Guan Feng came to his senses at this time, his mind moved slightly, and he asked directly: "Do you know that he is too?" ”

Guan Yu didn't speak.

Guan Feng said: "He is good, his private life is very disciplined, and he has no bad habits." He was the first one who could really make me appreciate it regardless of prejudice. ”

Guan Yu sighed, but didn't hang up. After a while, he asked, "...... What about me? This seemed to make it difficult for him to speak, and he felt his teeth chatter slightly, but he still repeated slowly: "Compared with me, is he better?" ”

Guan Feng smiled and said that you are my brother, of course I think you are the best. He paused, and then said, "Objectively speaking, he is indeed not bad. ”

"Well," Guan Yu's voice lowered, but he still said, "That's good." ”
