Chapter 42 I'm Here, Gao Xun

Gao Xun stood on the stove and went to the pot to add a bowl of cold water, and the dumplings that had shown signs of floating just now quickly sank again.

While waiting for the water to boil again, Gao Xun casually reached out to wipe off a layer of mist covering the window, and looked out at the empty street through a corner.Today is New Year's Eve, the number of cars parked on the roadside is half less than usual, and everyone has gone home. Occasionally, there are a few stray cats wandering in the middle of the road, picking and choosing. A car with a still warm hood squinted its eyes and curled its tail lazily.

When the Spring Festival Gala started, Gao Xun's dumplings were just out of the pan.

He and his mother sat down on both sides of the table. Gao Xun picked up a dumpling and took a bite. The cooking time was not controlled properly, and the skin was a bit rotten.

The Spring Festival Gala is always tasteless, relying on a beam of bright red to prop up the screen, so as not to make the audience drowsy.

After the first skit was performed, Gao Xun's cell phone became lively.

It is estimated that through this first skit, everyone has predicted that this year's program will still be boring and not very new, so why not pick up their mobile phones to copy and paste the New Year's greetings message.

The class group and teacher group in Gao Xun’s WeChat are constantly reminded of new content. Click to see some of them are sharing what they ate for the New Year’s Eve dinner at home tonight. Gao Xun glanced and turned his phone from the original vibrate mode It's muted.

His mother picked up the oranges on the table and peeled them, her eyes fell on the TV, and she asked him casually, "Have you been in contact with Xiao Xu these days?"

After Gao Xun thought for a while, he realized that Xiao Xu was referring to Xu Jiayi, the last girl he met on a blind date years ago.

He considered packing up the fact that there was no connection, so that it would be easier for her to accept.

"Everyone is busy at the end of the year." It's a pity that he said this so dryly.

"Then take the initiative to send a New Year greeting message to others right now." She divided the peeled orange into two halves, and placed half in front of Gao Xun.

Seeing that Gao Xun didn't move, he said in a more serious tone: "Don't want to post? Are you not satisfied with Xiao Xu?"

Gao Xun sent Xu Jiayi content such as happy and healthy new year with lowered eyes.

Xu Jiayi came back quickly and wished Teacher Gao a happy new year and all the best next year. At the end, there was a small emoji designed by herself, and then asked Gao Xun what he had for the New Year's Eve dinner and how much money he took for the New Year's Eve?

Gao Xun saw the three words New Year's money and replied, how can I get the New Year's money at such an old age.

Xu Jiayi sent a displeased expression. If you are not married, you are considered a child. Besides, why are you so old?We are the same age, so don't point it out, Mr. Gao!

They talked back and forth for a little while.

Only then did Gao Xun feel the invisible gaze pressing on his face, and moved away in satisfaction.

As soon as she closed the drawer and left the room, Gao Xun couldn't wait to sit up from the bed and lit a cigarette.Keep repeating softly, bear with it, wake up to the first day of the new year, after the first day of the new year, it is half over, just bear with it, calm down, calm down, and you will be fine soon ...

Gao Xun was fascinated by looking at the only ray of light from the lit cigarette between his fingers in the darkness.

The desperation and frustration in his heart instantly flooded over his head like a sudden flood.

It wasn't the first time that the suffocation feeling that his eyes, mouth, ears and nose were blocked occupied his body mightily.

Gao Xun buried his face between his legs, gasping for breath.

He wanted to call for help, but he was the only one in this deep sea, and he had no one to turn to.

Almost dead.

He was about to struggle.He really wanted to just close his eyes and fall into the deep sea.

The phone suddenly turned on at this time, Gao Xun stared at it, and pressed the answer button tremblingly for a long time.

It was Kuang Huai Ye.

"Teacher, happy new year!"

"........."

"Are you already asleep? It was supposed to call you at twelve o'clock, but Kuang Fan suddenly..." Kuang Huaiye heard something wrong with Gao Xun's breathing on the other end without saying a few words: " Gao Xun, what's wrong with you?"

"........."

"Gao Xun? Is there something wrong? Can you talk?"

Kuang Huaiye's anxious voice came from the mobile phone, Gao Xun pulled the only rescue rope with great difficulty, threw it to him, and called out cautiously and full of tentativeness: "...Aye."

"I'm here!" Gao Xun's voice seemed to be strangled by someone, and Kuang Huaiye immediately became flustered: "Gao Xun, what happened? Tell me."

Gao Xun didn't know where to start. He was breathing hard on his back, but he only felt a sore nose for a while, and then soon, like the last time he was sick, hot and uncontrollable tears flowed from his eyes.

Kuang Huaiye caught his sniffling noise: "Are you crying?"

"……No."

That was really crying, Kuang Huaiye squeezed the phone tightly and said, "I'm going to the airport now. Be good, don't cry."

Gao Xun was sobered up by his words, why is it so shameless to cry in front of Kuang Huaiye again?The clenched fingers pinched the palm of the trap, trying to calm down and said: "It's really nothing, you go about your business, don't run back suddenly."

"I'll go back and have a look at you and make sure you're okay before coming back."

Hearing that the door seemed to be opening and closing at Kuang Huaiye, it was Gao Xun's turn to be anxious: "Do you think that the 1-plus kilometers is the classroom to the playground? Don't rush back and forth, I am really fine!"

"Impossible. Why are you crying when everything is fine?" Kuang Huaiye had already strode to the garage.

"I have a cold and my nose is blocked." Gao Xun lied casually: "You have a lot of things to do, don't you? Don't mess around. I won't see you when you come back from running around like this."

Kuang Huaiye's hand, which was inserting the car keys, stopped, and he made a compromise.

"...It's okay if I don't come back, you can make a video call and let me see you."

"Tomorrow, tomorrow morning." He should be in a better state after sleeping, he really didn't want Kuang Huaiye to see him like this.

"I see." Kuang Huaiye stopped talking and ended the call directly.

Gao Xun held up the phone in a daze, and before Kuang Huaiye hung up, he clearly heard the sound of the car starting.

Two minutes later, Kuang Huaiye received a video invitation from Teacher Gao as he wished.

Gao Xun obviously cleaned up simply, there were no tears on his face, only the tip of his nose was slightly red, and only a desk lamp was turned on in the room, Kuang Huai Yezai carefully inspected him in every corner without missing a beat.

Gao Xun was embarrassed by him, but still pretended to be normal: "I told you that it was a cold and a blocked nose. Have you checked it?"

Kuang Huaiye sighed softly, and involuntarily touched Gao Xun's eyes on the screen with his fingers: "Next time when you rub your eyes, be gentler, the end of your eyes will be red."

"..." Gao Xun looked at the floor silently.

"What happened tonight, Gao Xun?"

really weird.

Kuang Huaiye just asked him such a question in a soft voice, and Gao Xun felt his nose turn sore again, as if he had ten thousand grievances to say to this boy.

If he wanted to speak, Kuang Huaiye would definitely listen.Perhaps not only to listen, but also to lend a helping hand to him standing on the edge of the cliff...

Gao Xun, you can't do this.

"It's really nothing, it's just that it's rare to go back home, there are always a lot of things my mother can't understand, and it's a little annoying."

Gao Xun was shrouded in not-so-intense light, his jet-black hair had an extra halo of light, he didn't wear glasses, and his slender neck and beautiful collarbone were exposed from the slightly open neckline.The whole person looks a little childish and soft.

He is in a bad mood.He tried his best to restrain himself and protect himself. Although Kuang Huaiye knew that things would not be as simple as he said, it seemed that if he asked a few more questions, he would fall from a precarious height. Kuang Huaiye couldn't bear to force him anymore.

Kuang Huaiye frowned and said in silence for a while, "I really want to go back to you after finishing everything in one day."

"...Is your family going well?" He didn't continue to ask, and Gao Xun breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.

"There's no way it won't go well, Wu Wei died a long time ago, Kuang Fan is hemiplegic, he's basically useless, and Kuang Huaigu's mother doesn't know anything about anything other than spending money, only Kuang Huaigu is left...Gao Xun, do you still care about Kuang Huaigu? "

"Why do you think I still care about Kuang Huaigu?"

"He's your first love."

Gao Xun was helpless: "It's so old, do you care about your first love until now?"

"Why not, I'm still chasing my first love."

Gao Xun understood, this guy went around a lot and finally had to trick himself.After talking for a long time, there was an unconcealable tiredness in his voice, and Gao Xun remembered that he hadn't taken a good look at him yet.

Kuang Huaiye was lazily sitting in the driver's seat wearing a dark gray sweater, holding a mobile phone in one hand and resting the other on the headrest of the seat next to him.He became thinner, the line of his jaw became clearer, his chin was surrounded by blue, his thick eyebrows were slightly wrinkled, and a pair of gray-green eyes looked at him intently.

"You're a little thinner."

Kuang Huaiye scratched his face with his fingers: "I must be thinking of you. I think I haven't seen you in half my life."

Gao Xun laughed: "Little friend, you only went there last week."

"One day in the sky, one day in the world, haven't you heard of it in a year? It's a week with you, but half a lifetime with me."

"...Do as you please." Teacher Gao didn't mess around with this thick-skinned guy, but it was undeniable that after a few words from him, his mood did improve.

"Gao Xun."

"Ok?"

"I miss you."

"……Um."

"I want to kiss you."

"……I'm going to go to bed."
