Gu Qingyan was tightly grabbed by his sleeve, leaving a dark water stain on the fabric, which made his skin a little cooler.

He looked up and saw a long-legged creature lying on the white wall of the tiles, slowly climbing up with its slender legs.

"Brother......

Chu Shanye shrank beside him, his face full of fear: "Its legs are so long......"

Gu Qingyan couldn't laugh or cry.

In fact, it was just a mosquito with long legs, but it was indeed a little scary, and Chu Shanye was understandably afraid. After all, bugs have left a particularly big psychological shadow on him since he was a child.

At that time, Chu Shanye was in the fifth or sixth grade, and it was the time when he began to be naughty and rebellious, and he and a few little boys in the class secretly went to the video game city in the mall to try it, but they happened to be caught by Gu Qingyan.

A group of children who had not graduated from elementary school stood in a row outside the video game city, looking down at the floor tiles under their feet, trembling to accept Gu Qingyan's scrutiny. Only Chu Shanye, a bear child, raised his head and looked at him stubbornly.

"How can you come to a place like this?"

Gu Qingyan still had a stereotype of the video game city at that time, and always felt that this was some kind of juvenile delinquent cultivation base, so he looked at Chu Shanye in shock: "Your parents know that they are going to beat you to death."

Chu Shanye still stiffened his neck, and he was not ready to soften at all: "Anyway, they usually don't care about me, if they beat me to death, they will beat me to death."

Gu Qingyan was so angry with him that he couldn't speak, so he dragged the person away from the gate of the video game city by the collar.

The children's heads were dragged away, and the remaining children stood on the ground and looked at each other, and finally had to choose to watch them leave in a salute.

Originally, Gu Qingyan wanted to watch Chu Shanye do his homework, but he was really angry with the other party, so he threw Chu Shanye home directly, too lazy to care about him anymore.

He read the book for a while, and was about to go to bed when there was a knock on the door.

It happened that the adults of the Gu family and the adults of the Chu family were not there that night. Gu Qingyan's parents went to discuss business, while the parents of the Chu family took their eldest son to attend a friend's dinner, leaving only the two of them to stay at home.

Gu Qingyan was still angry and didn't want to open the door for Chu Shanye, but he heard the child knocking lightly on the door outside, and his voice seemed to be a little crying: "Brother, Brother Qingyan, you open the door." ”

Chu Shanye rarely calls him "brother" on weekdays, unless he is asked for it.

Gu Qingyan lowered his eyes and looked at the book, his eyebrows moved, and after a while, he finally succumbed to soft-heartedness, got up and went to open the door for Chu Shanye, but he didn't expect it

As soon as he opened the door, the other party drilled into his arms.

Chu Shanye had never shown such dependence on him before, and he had never had such close contact with people, which made him startled, and he reflexively wanted to push people out.

"Brother, at home, at home, at home......"

But how could he have thought that Chu Shanye was like an octopus, clutching his clothes tightly and not letting go: "There are insects at home!" What a lot of bugs!"

Bugger?

Gu Qingyan was stunned: "Are you afraid of insects?"

Only then did he know that Chu Shanye, who was only 12 years old, was not afraid of the sky and the earth at that time, but he was afraid of all the insects in this world, those with wings and without wings, those with long legs and short legs, and those with hard shells and soft bodies, which could scare him from the ground to the sky.

Chu Shanye nestled in his arms, and he had long lost the fierce appearance of "how can you handle me" in the afternoon, and nodded lightly, so well-behaved and docile that he didn't look like himself.

Gu Qingyan looked at him with a frightened look, and couldn't help but feel compassion, and gently touched his hair: "What bug? Where is it? Take me to see it. "

"In the bathroom at home," Chu Shanye whispered, "there are a lot of winged insects." "

Saying this, Gu Qingyan seemed to understand.

It's raining outside, and he should be a water ant in his house.

Gu Qingyan just hugged Chu Shanye and went back to Chu's house, letting people stay in the living room, and then he simply dealt with the water ants in the bathroom according to the method taught online.

In fact, the method is not too difficult, but Chu Shanye himself is afraid of insects, so he can only knock on Gu Qingyan's door in such an embarrassed way.

When Gu Qingyan came out of the bathroom, Chu Shanye shrunk up on the sofa, his dark eyes were full of fear at this time, and when he saw him come out, he didn't care about his usual rebellion, and immediately grabbed his sleeve again and stuffed himself into people's arms.

"It's okay," Gu Qingyan couldn't laugh or cry, "Don't hold me, hot." ”

Chu Shanye shook his head and continued to bury his head in his arms, his voice trembling: "Brother, did the bugs run away?"

"It's okay to wait for the night," Gu Qingyan stroked his hair, as if coaxing a frightened puppy, "It's okay." Chu Shanye was silent in his arms for a long time, and then tugged at his sleeve.

"Brother, can you sleep with me tonight?" He raised his eyes and prayed, "Please." Gu Qingyan didn't want to agree to him, but he couldn't bear his soft grinding and hard foam, and finally agreed. That day was the first time in his life that he had stayed overnight at someone else's house in more than a decade.

late

The last two children were crammed into a bed, and Chu Shanye had to hold him to fall asleep. Gu Qingyan was a little hot when he was hugged, and he wanted to push it away but couldn't push it away, and finally asked angrily: "Chu Shanye, aren't you quite backbone in the afternoon?" It's not that I don't want to be obedient and go home with me

Is it?"

Chu Shanye wrapped himself in the air conditioner quilt, only revealing a pair of eyes and looking at him quietly, looking very honest and obedient. "Don't look at me," Gu Qingyan said, "I ask you." ”

The other party was silent for a moment and blinked: "I will definitely listen to you in the future." "I'll listen to you, can you help me fight bugs?"

The way he shrunk beside Gu Qingyan and grabbed Gu Qingyan's sleeve ten years ago has not changed until now, but the whole person has grown several sizes, from a little kid like bean sprouts to a tall boy.

Gu Qingyan patted his hand: "Let go."

Chu Shanye moved his lower lip slightly, as if he wanted to say something, but swallowed it back after a while, but shook his head again.

"You ......"

Gu Qingyan sighed, and could only let him hide by his side naked: "Drag me like this, how can I go and fight you with worms?" Chu Shanye hesitated for a moment, as if thinking about what he said, and finally slowly let go of the hand holding his sleeve. A bathrobe flew over and covered him, and Gu said lightly: "Wear, don't freeze."

The air conditioner was turned on in the house, if Chu Shanye waited for him to finish fighting the insects, it was estimated that he would catch a cold tomorrow. After he finished speaking, he took a towel from the shelf of the B&B and slowly leaned towards the giant mosquito.

It was indeed a very large mosquito, and it looked the size of Gu Qingyan's hand.

Gu Qingyan pinched the towel and suddenly threw it against the wall, and with a muffled sound, the mosquito instantly landed on the ground, and several long legs twitched twice, as if trying to "resurrect".

It's dead," Gu Qingyan took two tissues to pinch up and wrap the mosquito corpse so that Chu Shanye wouldn't see it, "Come in."

Chu Shan watched at the door tremblingly for a long time, and only after Gu Qingyan really pinched the mosquito into the paper towel did he breathe a long sigh of relief.

He was a little embarrassed on his face, and whispered: "Actually, in fact, I wasn't so scared before, but this mosquito suddenly flew out of nowhere, and it had to land on my face, so I ......

Gu Qingyan watched him go from the red neck to the tip of his ears, but he still insisted on saying that he was not afraid at all, and couldn't help laughing.

Aren't you afraid?" Gu Qingyan asked him, "I'm so scared that I'm about to fly, I'm not afraid."

This. He was defenseless just now, and he was also taken aback when Chu Shanye jumped out of the bathroom.

Chu Shanye was so embarrassed that he grabbed the bathrobe on his body and went back to the bathroom, and didn't even forget to whisper thanks to Gu Qingyan.

Awkward brother.

Gu Qingyan looked at the bathroom door that was closed, and couldn't cry or laugh for a while.

Dead child, seven or eight years ago, I was so scared that I hugged him and slept with him, seven or eight years later, the idol burden is so heavy, do you have to be shy to say two words?

☆☆★

After Gu Qingyan came out of the shower, Chu Shanye turned on the lights of the entire homestay, pinched a bottle of insecticidal spray, and prepared to check the entire room from head to toe.

"What are you doing?" Gu Qingyan asked, there is no need, there will be no bugs.

Chu Shanye sighed: "As long as you see one, it means that there may be other insects." He coughed heavily and slammed the bottom of the insecticide spray twice against the wall on one side: This is called prevention. But what he found was not cockroaches, and this theory did not seem to apply.

"Don't look for it."

After a long time in the car this morning, and staying outside in the afternoon, Gu Qingyan felt that the feeling of tiredness was only late at this time, and it almost swept over his whole body.

He collapsed on the soft bed of the B&B, covered his lips and yawned, and his voice was a little slurred: It's okay, there are bugs to help you fight, don't be afraid.

Chu Shanye lay sideways on the bed, looking at him with his arms on his pillow. Only the bedside lamp was turned on in the room, and the warm yellow of the room was open.

"You've said that before," he whispered, "do you remember?"

The sound of the air conditioner in the house "chirping" was very similar to the sound of the wind outside on that rainy night a few years ago, Chu Shanye seemed to have returned to the year when he was twelve years old, curled up in the arms of his brother next door as if he had gained the courage to resist the insects of the world.

The affection he didn't get from his own brother, the brother next door gave it to him, so that the swarm of water ants that broke into the bathroom no longer seemed to be terrible.

Gu Qingyan blinked his eyes slightly: I still remember.

After he finished speaking, there was a little smile in his tone: "You were stupid at that time, you only knew how to cry when you met insects, and you had to sleep with you in your arms at night, otherwise you wouldn't let me go."

"Is there one?"

Chu Shanye coughed lightly, as if he didn't want to admit it: "Why don't I remember at all?"

"I remember I also told you that you have to exercise yourself not to be afraid of insects in the future," perhaps because the lighting of the environment was too gentle, and Gu Qingyan's voice was also very soft, "Otherwise, when the time comes, a big man will be afraid of insects, and it will make people laugh when they say it." ”

But Chu Shanye did not change.

Today, after so many years, he still rushes into his arms when he encounters insects like he did when he was a child, and he does not look indifferent and serious in front of the players on the playing field and at all.

Actually, it's ...... It's cute.

"This is innate, and it can't be changed," Chu Shanye was stunned when he thought of the insect that was only half the size of a palm, "You don't understand that feeling, it's just that the moment you see it, you can already imagine the feeling of it crawling on you."

When he said this, his body shook uncontrollably, and he still seemed terrified. Gu Qingyan glared at him: "Look at your little bit of interest, do you still want your teammates to help you fight when you encounter bugs in the club?"

Chu Shanye raised his eyebrows: Of course not, generally in this case, I will choose to sleep on the sofa for one night, and then go in the next day to see if the insects are gone, if it disappears, I will go to the manager for help if it has not happened.

When he said this, he straightened up slightly, and his chin rested on his arm, which reminded Gu Qingyan of the puppy who stuffed his head into the owner's hand in the online video.

"I can't let them know that I'm afraid of bugs," Chu Shanye frowned, his face was unusually serious, "If you let them know that I'm afraid of bugs, they won't listen to me."

Yo, the puppy seems to care a lot about the majesty of his captain.

The more serious he was, the more Gu Qingyan wanted to tease him: "What about me?" Can I know?"

"You.... It's not the same. ”

Chu Shanye's voice was a little small, but he repeated it in a firm tone: "You are different."

"You still had to sleep with me before, Gu Qingyan was a little sleepy, "Aren't you going to sleep now?"

Chu Shanye suddenly got up, looked at him with blazing eyes, and moved his Adam's apple up and down: "But, is it okay?" Of course not. ”

Gu Qingyan's sleepiness dissipated a little, and he looked at Chu Shanye with some vigilance.

In fact, the distance between the two beds in the B&B is not large, and Chu Shanye can touch Gu Qingyan as long as he stretches out his hand.

"It's okay, I'll just ask."

Chu Shanye's eyes drooped slightly, and he used the most nonchalant tone, but it was still difficult to hide the loss on his face.

Gu Qingyan made the ghost stretch out his hand, lightly

Stroked his hair: Obedient.

As soon as he finished speaking, both of them were stunned.

Gu Qingyan was a little embarrassed and wanted to withdraw his hand.

blamed Chu Shanye, and looked at him with those wet puppy-like eyes, I don't know if he was really wronged, or if he was pretending to be wronged to please people.

But Chu Shanye reached out and gently clasped his wrist, leaned forward, and narrowed the distance between the two of them a little closer.

He spoke, his voice a little inexplicably hoarse: "What is 'obedient'?" Gu Qingyan was stopped by him.

For Chu Shanye, the "obedience" when he was a child was not to go to the video game city, and the "obedience" when he grew up was to study hard and not skip class. And now?

For the current Chu Shanye, for the current Gu Qingyan, what is the standard of "obedience" between the two? In the few seconds he was stunned, a hairy touch suddenly came from his palm.

Chu Shanye rubbed his hand gently, looked at him with those black eyes, and asked cautiously: ...... Is that what is being done?
