In the summer of 2015, Gu Du was walking on his way back from school as usual, but due to the construction of the road closure, he had to take a long detour.

Passing by a small courtyard, the wall yard is not high, you can see that there is a magnolia tree in it, the flowers are in full bloom, and you can smell the strong fragrance of flowers and plants when you pass by.

Gu Du unconsciously slowed down, a gust of wind blew, magnolia petals slowly floated down, and some flew outside the courtyard, mixed with a piece of white paper, and also fell to the ground with the petals on the side.

Gu Du curiously walked over and picked up the piece of paper, turned it over and saw that it was a drawing paper, on it was a young man standing in the backlight, there was a beautiful halo on the top of his brown head, the eyebrows that flew obliquely into the sideburns loomed under the cover of messy bangs, and his eyes were cold and sharp, looking indifferent but not hiding his edge. Gu Du was fascinated.

"Kid, can you give me back the drawings in your hand?" A man walked out of the courtyard.

He was very tall, Gu Dui had to tilt his head to see him, and when he raised his eyes, Gu Dui saw the "handsome man like a god" in the novel picture book. But realizing that he was here to ask for the drawings back, Gu Du was a little reluctant and wanted to play tricks.

Luo Chao saw through his careful thoughts, and felt that this kid was interesting, and he didn't mean to embarrass himself, but he really liked the drawing paper.

Not only was he not annoyed, but he invited Gu Du into the courtyard in a good-natured manner, "Then I'll exchange a unique one for you, come in with me." ”

Entered the yard, it was very warm, followed Luo Chao on a short stone road, there were lawns on both sides, there were a few drawings on the lawn that he didn't have time to pick up, and there were all kinds of beautiful flowers next to the wall that he couldn't name.

Luo Chao picked up the scattered drawings as he walked, and led him to a small round stone table under the magnolia tree, and there were three small stone benches next to it, "Sit down." ”

Gu Dui's eyes unconsciously fell on the other drawings on the side, which were painted with all kinds of characters, all full of vitality, "Which one do you want to exchange with me?" Gu Du was actually a little embarrassed, he knew that he was wrong, but he was still looking forward to something.

"None of this is here, come, you sit down, I'll paint you a separate picture."

It turned out that what he meant by "unique", Gu Du was a little confused, but he still listened to him sit down, his eyes staring at Luo Chao, maybe even he didn't know it, his eyes were full of fiery anticipation.

"Do you want to wash your face first, you have some dust on your face." Luo Chao asked.

"No, that's all." Gu Du was still a little vigilant in his heart, after all, Luo Chao was a stranger.

Luo Chao didn't say anything more, took out a new piece of drawing paper, and began to sketch, perhaps because he felt too quiet, Luo Chao wanted to talk to this interesting child while drawing.

"My name is Luo Chao, what's your name?"

"Gu Dui."

"Your name is nice. By the way, do you live far away? It's a little late, why don't you call your parents first? ”

"I live in a welfare home, and no one cares about me."

Luo Chao stopped the pen in his hand and looked at Gu Dui, he began to understand why this child gave people a feeling of coldness and alienation.

"Gu Dui, I also grew up in a welfare home before I was 5 years old, and I was later adopted by my parents."

"The children in the orphanage are no worse than other children, they just need to be better to be seen." Luo Chao didn't know why he suddenly told a child who met for the first time about this, maybe it was empathy.

Gu Du saw sincerity and concern in his eyes, and also felt warmth. He slowly opened up and became active in conversation.

"Are you a painter?"

"No, although I have been drawing since elementary school, I make games, and these are the game characters I designed."

"You're amazing."

"You can do that later."

In the gradually harmonious conversation between the two, Luo Chao also completed the work in his hand.

"How about you finish drawing, let's take a look?" Luo Chao smiled lightly and handed over the drawing paper in his hand.

Gu Du looked at the person on the paper, sitting under the magnolia tree, the afterglow of the setting sun sprinkled on the young man through the branches, the young man was a little immature and ignorant, but it was very good-looking, his long and dense eyelashes were slightly curled, his eyes were bright and deep, his eyes were full of expectation and yearning, and the corners of his mouth curved slightly.

"Why did you remove all the dust from my face?"

"Well, look here."

Following the place of his finger, Gu Duan saw a line of small words next to him, "Gu Du in my eyes", and then below was his signature "Luo Chao".

"I drew you in my eyes, and I think that's the real you. Gu Dui, although I don't know why you made yourself like this, you have to remember that you must always have expectations, you are not one of a group of people, you are unique you. ”

Gu Du had to admit that every word he said pierced his soul, and he had always thought that like this group of outcasts in their welfare home, they were destined to be cared for and hopeless...

But Luo Chao was like a beam of light shining into the darkness, telling him that as long as he chased hard, there would be light at the end.

"Thank you, I love it. And also... I'm sorry, but I shouldn't have taken over your paintings. ”

"It doesn't matter. You're a good boy. ”

Gu Du stiffly smiled back at Luo Chao and carefully put away the painting Luo Chao gave him. Luo Chao sent him to the gate of the courtyard, Gu Du looked a little speechless, and Luo Chao, who had seen through his thoughts, said, "You can come to me often in the future, and you can talk about anything." ”

Gu Du didn't expect him to take the initiative to invite him, and he was very happy in his heart, "Well, I'll come." ”

After that, Gu Du often deliberately took a long detour, pretending to pass by Luo Chao's house to visit, sometimes watching Luo Chao draw, sometimes watching him design game programs, and learning while asking next to him.

"Why do people like to play games?"

"Because in the game, you can experience a whole new kind of life, where there are new rules of survival, new friends and new goals."

......

"Look at what I painted."

"Well, it's not bad. But you see, the proportions of the characters here are not right, and the shadow of the background..."

......

During this time, Gu Du had a very comfortable and happy time.

However, he didn't know that he had been chosen by Dean Yan to be a covert item. Because of his repeated obstructions, Dean Yan made up his mind to solve his stumbling block on the road to making money.

As soon as Gu Duan woke up, he found himself in a strange room, and there was a middle-aged man wearing a bathrobe and a red wine glass in his hand, "Yo, it's awake, I'm almost impatient, hehe..."

The middle-aged man kept approaching him, and Gu Dui sensitively noticed the crisis, and quickly got out of bed and wanted to run towards the door, but the door had already been locked.

"Haha, don't think about running away, follow me honestly, and I'll let you stay by your side for a while longer..."

"Get out of here!"

"Come over to Lao Tzu, little rabbit cub", Gu Du was rudely pulled over and thrown the bed, he was not strong enough to be the man's opponent at all, and he was very scared in his heart.

"Hmph, I'll be obedient to my master tonight." The man pounced, and Gu Dui struggled to resist, he didn't want to accept his fate. In the struggle, he reached the ashtray and smashed it against the man's head with all his might.

After smashing, his mind went blank, watching the man in front of him fall on the bed, his head covered with blood, Gu Du was extremely scared, he didn't know what to do, he just wanted to get away from here quickly.

The door was locked, and he couldn't open it, so he had to come to the balcony, which was the second floor, but Gu Du didn't have time to think about it and jumped straight down.

Running out of the courtyard, Gu Du was trembling all the time, he didn't know if the man was dead, and he didn't know where to flee, he was confused and at a loss.

"Luo Chao, Luo Chao, Luo Chao..." said his name as he ran to the place where he was with all his strength.

When Luo Chao heard the knock on the door and opened the door, he saw Gu Dui, who was like a frightened bird, with blood on his hands and a mess.

The moment he saw Luo Chao, Gu Dui's tight string instantly loosened, and he cried out in front of others for the first time, "I... I could kill... Killed someone..."

Luo Chao was also frightened to see him like this, but he quickly calmed down and asked Gu Dui, "Where is that person now, and what happened to him?" ”

"In... In Jinglan Villa, I... Smash his head... There's a lot of blood..."

Luo Chao quickly took out his mobile phone and dialed 120, asked the ambulance to pass, and then called the police.

"Twilight, you calm down first, you listen, people are responsible for what they have done, and avoiding it can't solve the problem, can you understand?"

"Hmm... I'll listen to you..."

"Come, get in the car with me, and I'll face it with you. Tell me what happened. ”

Gu Du followed Luo Chao into the car and told him everything without concealment, Luo Chao was angry and shocked when he heard it, and on the other hand, he was distressed by Gu Dui, and touched Gu Dui's head to comfort him, "You're not wrong, it's fine." ”

The ambulance arrived just in time, and the man did not lose much blood, only a moderate concussion.

Luo Chao, who knew the news, breathed a sigh of relief and took Luo Chao to the infirmary first, "Don't worry, your foot is twisted, and abrasions must be dealt with." ”

Gu Duan had been in a state of distraction, letting the nurse give him medicine and not talking about pain, Luo Chao knew that he was really scared.

Luo Chao squatted down and let Gu Dui's eyes look directly at him, "Gu Dui, look at me." You're not wrong, it's them who are at fault, you're just protecting yourself. Don't worry too much, many years later, looking back, today is just one day when such an incident happened. Also, nothing like this will happen again, I promise. ”

Gu Du knew that he was afraid that he would leave a shadow, and Luo Chao was enlightening him, not only did he help him deal with bad things, but he also cared so much about his emotions. He thought that maybe he would never meet a better person than him in his life.

Gu Du wanted to hold on to him firmly, "You... Can you adopt me? "He knew he was getting a little bit in, but he was looking forward to it.

"Okay."

Gu Du couldn't believe his ears, and looked at Luo Chao with wide eyes.

"I said okay, Twilight, I'm willing to take care of you. It's not because I sympathize with you, it's because I like you very much and will always be good to you. Luo Chao said seriously.

"Hmm." Gu Du admits that this is the happiest moment of his life.

"Come, come up, brother carry you home.".

You walked into my world quietly, and my soul opened its pockets to contain a you.
