Don’t Be a Kept Man

Shen You didn't like the embarrassment of himself, cold sweat dripped from the neck, and the whole person was like fished out of the water, even the hair was wet into strands, I don't know if it is an illusion, I always feel that there are always countless eyes around. Look at him.

He closed his eyes, buried his face in his knees, and wanted to leave, but was torn from abdomen cramps so he could not stand.

Pain is the only thing that can slow time down, just a few minutes, but it's as long as a lifetime, suffering is like slowness.

Shen You thought, he shouldn't have come out today.

This is a hot and sultry season, but it is as if Shen You can never get used to the year-round pain, and people can't adapt to the scorching sun that comes every year in this city.

A long figure was swiftly moving through the crowd. He was very fast, but the hot water in his hand did not spill a single drop. Finally, he stopped abruptly in front of the roadside bench, his body leaned forward due to inertia, his hands The plastic bag with the medicine on it rattled and there was a slight crash of the capsule.

"Take medicine, is that it?"

Gu Lai’s meticulous hair was messed up. Obviously, he ran very fast. At this moment, he was hanging messily from both sides, but his breath was still stable and his voice was still quiet. Shen You heard this sound, and his tight body suddenly loosened. He raised his head on his knees, and suddenly there was a feeling of relief.

Gu Lai squatted down in front of him, then unscrewed the medicine bottle methodically, lowered his head and quickly scanned the instructions, poured out two capsules, placed them in Shen You's palm, and handed him the disposable cup with hot water in his hand.

He is very attentive and always knows exactly what others need.

Shen You squeezed the medicine in his hand, then raised his head and swallowed with the water in the cup. Gu Lai looked at his slightly moving Adam's apple, his eyes full of seriousness, and asked: "Are you better now?"

Damn, how could there be a medicine that works so quickly, it's not an elixir.

Shen You was expressionless, with his right hand still holding his abdomen tightly, and then he gave an unexplained hum from his nose, stinking a face, looking a little tugged.

Gu Lai was relieved, he was visibly relieved, and nodded, "Then you can sit down for a while and I'll get the car over."

After he finished speaking, he got up and walked towards the road. At this time, it was just a green light. Behind him was a whole piece of neon night. At last he was drowned in the rolling traffic. The billboard on the top could not help changing, and you looked at his back. After watching for a long time, a thin layer of light and shadow fell on the tip of his nose, and his handsome profile was clearly defined, but it was difficult to hide his sharpness. After a moment, he faintly looked away.

Gu Lai slowly stopped the car on the side of the road, helped Shen You to sit in the co-pilot, and then went around and got in the car. In the dim space, his eyes flashed past him like a dragonfly.

Shen Youhui was wrong, and violently fastened his seat belt.

Gu Lai felt that he seemed a little angry, but he didn't understand why he was angry, so he could only keep silent, try to minimize his presence, and was speechless all the way.

Shen You leaned his head against the window of the car, thinking it was because of the medicine, his brows stretched slightly, but the fatigue that he could not hide, and the smooth driving of the vehicle, he fell into a light sleep.

It is 9:40 in the evening, and the movie has probably been played for most of the time. Gu Lai slowly stopped the car to the door of Shen You’s house, trying to wake him up, but seeing that Shen You was so sleepy that he stretched out his hand inexplicably. In midair, after hesitating for a moment, he took it back.

Today was a bit bad.

Gu Lai took out an orange candy from his pocket, as he thought.

The structure and system of human beings are different. When he becomes a human being, there is something more in his brain, but it is not pure in the end, but it seems nondescript.

Gu Lai knew everything, but he didn't understand anything. He didn't understand why Shen You was angry, and he didn't know how to calm the other party. The smell of orange soda burst on the tip of his tongue, making people frown.

Shen You's mental state is very poor. He only falls asleep for a few hours a day. Although it is silent in the middle of the night and there is no noise, he wakes up shortly afterwards. He opens his eyes in a daze, and his eyes are reflected on the windshield. The flood of yellow street lamp light.

He slowly gathered his thoughts, looked around, and then realized that this was the door of his own house. Gu Lai was sitting beside him, quiet and silent, his handsome face was in the shadow, and he didn't know how long he had been sitting. .

Shen You subconsciously turned on the phone and found that it was already three o'clock in the morning. A daze flashed across his face, and Gu Lai was also attracted by the slight noise he made. From his head tilted, his eyebrows and eyes were somewhat deep: " you're awake?"

Shen You didn't know what to say, he was thinking, will the other party have been sitting here for five or six hours?

"I'm sorry, I didn't call you when I saw you fall asleep." Gu Lai took a long arm and handed him the medicine from the back seat, and told him, "The clerk said this is a stomach medicine. If you have a stomach problem, you should eat regularly. , Can’t drink.”

I really sat here for five or six hours.

Shen You took a deep look at Gu. His long and narrow eyes were still sharp, with some scrutiny and evaluation, but did not receive the medicine. After a while, he stretched out his hand to open the car door, and his figure quickly disappeared into the night.

The world is like a circle. Many years ago, people met on this end, and then they ran away, running in opposite directions, and met again on the other end.

When Gu Lai went home at night, Yu Xi was still not asleep. Across a wall, she could faintly hear the buzzing electronic music next door. Her life was reversed, and she slept during the day and night. She was complained many times by neighbors. But the effect is very small, just play whatever you want.

Gu Lai actually doesn’t need sleep. He goes to sleep at nine o’clock every night, just because other humans do the same, but now it’s getting bright, and it doesn’t seem to make any sense to sleep. Xi's home.

"Who--"

Yu Xi turned off the sound and opened the door a small slit in her nightdress. She removed her makeup, her eyebrows were a little more glamorous than the day, with a bunny ears headband and her ears drooping down. Seeing Gu Lai, she was irritable. Scratching his hair, he said unbelievably, "Big brother, it's past three in the morning, what are you doing at night? Want to date me?"

"No, I..." Gu Lai organized the language, a little embarrassed, "I have something to ask you. Is it convenient?"

Yu Xi has nothing to do when he is idle every day. Except for dating, he is making noise on his own. He opened the door and signaled him to come in: "If you can ask me about anything, let me talk about it first. I will lose everything from college. Now, I have no comment on the study."

Her house is in a mess. There are leftover take-out lunch boxes on the table, the kitchen sink is full of unwashed bowls, and the dressing table is full of luxury cosmetics. There is a guest room dedicated to cloakroom with more than ten A leather bag and limited-edition jewelry, all sold can buy a set.

Yu Xi didn't like sitting on the sofa. He sat cross-legged directly on the fluffy carpet. Gu Lai sat down on the floor after seeing this. Across the white coffee table and the low table, the two looked at each other.

Yu Xi lifted his chin, and said with interest: "Let's talk about it, what do you want to ask."

"I seem to have done something wrong today..."

When Gu said this, he unconsciously rubbed his knees with his palms, feeling a little ignorant, and whispered a narration of what happened in the cinema today, and then asked: "What should I do?"

After hearing this, Yu Xi's expression became subtle in an instant, and he gave him a thumbs up and said with a lot of emotion: "Brother Dei, you are great, these two boats are not easy to step on."

She didn't have any impression of Shen You. She only thought that when Gu Lai was dating her new target, she was still entangled with her predecessor Yang Mian. As a result, the three people crashed and overturned the car.

Gu Lai seriously denied: "I didn't step on two boats."

Yu Xi didn't care, and said, "It's okay if you step on it. If you don't step on it, it will capsize. If you only step on one, you are destined to turn over, but you don't have to worry about stepping on a few more. You can't turn it over."

Typical scumbag remarks.

Gu Lai stopped talking. He lowered his head, and didn't know how to express his feelings with Yu Xi. After a long time, he lightly hammered his head with his hand, and finally said: "I am a terrible person..."

"You have to know how to choose in life, you can't satisfy everyone, you know?" Yu Xi got up, took out two cans of cold beer from the refrigerator and handed it to him, "I can ask you why you continue to struggle with Yang Mian. Are you clear? You obviously don't like him, it's only yourself that bothers you in the end."

Gu Lai raised his eyes when he heard the words, vaguely feeling that he had grasped something, but he was not very clear, and said awkwardly: "He said he wants to be friends with me, so..."

"So you can't bear to refuse and you agree, don't you wonder that Shen You was so angry with you," Yu Xi drank beer boldly, raised her head and drank it in one breath, then let out a long breath and pointed at him. Comment, "Tsk tusk, central air conditioning, it's terrible."

Gu Lai thought, it turned out that Shen You was angry with himself.

His slender fingertips were unconsciously gathered in his knees: "Should I...how do I let him down?"

Yu Xi said: "Be clean with Yang Mian, you have to learn to refuse, understand, never hurt the important for the unimportant."

Gu Lai raised his eyes in doubt: "But Yang Mian and I are friends."

"Do you know what a friend is?" Yu Xi could see it. Gu Lai's mind is not so good now. "Friends can't be done with just a few words. They should help each other and care about each other. Yang Mian said that he wants to be with you Being friends, are you really friends?"

Yu Xi said: "Perfect and perfect is just one word. The ancients said that fish and bear paws cannot have both. Now Yang Mian and Shen You can only choose one of them, because they are natural enemies in a sense. There is no way to coexist, you understand?"

Gu Lai stayed silent, as if thinking about something.

Yu Xi clenched his hands into fists and stretched out in front of him: "If the left hand represents Yang Mian and the right hand represents Shen You, do you think, which of these two people is more important in your heart?"

Gu Lai asked, "Heart?"

Yu Xi nodded: "Yes, heart."

Gu Lai raised his hand and lightly tapped her right fist.

"It's not over," Yu Xi spread out her hand, her palm empty. "When you thought Shen You was more important, you had already made a choice. Now that you have made a choice, you have to give up."

So the problem went back to its original point.

Gu Laibu thought about why his friend could only choose one of the two, and continued to ask: "Then how can I make Shen You happy?"

Yu Xi curled her lips and rolled her eyes: "Brother, don't be such a humble man, okay? He gets angry when he is angry. You are not what you have to do. He is only used to making me happy. Why should I let him? When others are happy, you are the center of life."

"It's the center, but not the only one."

Gu Lai didn’t know what to think of, but the frost-like facial features suddenly became distant under the lighting of the living room, as far away as if they had crossed countless time and space: “Everyone who comes to this world must learn to accept and tolerate something. Some people are willing to accept it. Give, some people ask for it step by step, but the material is conserved. As much as you take, you have to return as much, and as much as you pay, you will gain much..."

He has met seven human beings, and there are seven stories in his heart.

The lifespan of the system is endless. In a short period of time, he has experienced the lives of seven people and watched their lives. Maybe he just stayed in his memory bank for a short time and will soon forget it, but a moment of stopping is also worth cherishing.

They used to be selfish and indifferent, seeking shortcuts, but in the end they learned to give instead of asking for them.

Yu Xi was indifferent: "Yes, you give your heart, and then you get hurt."

A spoonful of poisonous chicken soup.

Gu Lai: "..."
