Chapter 35

Maybe it was because he talked too much with Friedrich before going to bed, Gu Huaiyu didn't sleep well that night, he had a dream, and he went back to when he was 15 years old.

At that time, he was about to enter high school, and he was busy with a graduation performance, and his class was going to star in a play.Gu Huaiyu didn't like this kind of publicity, so he chose to be a member of the props group.

In the dream, one afternoon, Fang Ting came to be a guest, and happily said that he was assigned the role of musician Miller, and forced Gu Huaiyu to practice with him.

There was a book of this play at home, so he went to the study to find it, and mechanically checked the lines with Fang Ting.But Fang Ting's pretending to be old-fashioned is a bit funny, Gu Huaiyu couldn't help laughing all afternoon, failed several times, and finally, under the complaints of his friends, he practiced with him for a while in a serious manner.

He sat on the window sill of his room, sideways, a small piece of skin was slightly burned by the summer sun.Through the glass and the grille, Gu Huaiyu saw the rosy sky behind a few tall camphor trees. The dusk was heavy and the setting sun was about to set. Fang Ting chirped behind him, "If you have never seen him..."

In the gap between these lines, Gu Huaiyu saw a young man walking into the doorway on the left side of the courtyard. He was very young, with his suit jacket and tie loosened a little. He was standing in the corner of the courtyard invaded by dusk, smoking a cigarette lazily. .

He knew the man, but never spoke to him or looked at him properly.I don't know if Fang Ting's drama practice was too boring, he was distracted and kept looking over there.

The smoke was almost finished, and the clouds suddenly broke a little, and the afterglow of the sunset covered everything in front of me with a layer of light smoky purple.Gu Huaiyu's heart was beating for some reason, he was staring at the direction of that corner, half of his face was hidden behind the book.And the young man in the corner seemed to have a subtle intuition, and his sharp eyes swept over.

But they were far away, and against the light, Gu Huaiyu knew that he couldn't see himself.Even so, he shrank back subconsciously, and hid his face a little deeper, revealing only a pair of eyes.

"Xiao Yu, it's your turn! Why don't you pick it up?" Fang Ting, who was sitting on the carpet, called him dissatisfied.

Gu Huaiyu came back to his senses, looked down at the lines, and continued to peek out while reading in a hurry.

The 20-year-old Friedrich walked towards him, and the extended shadow was like a long gap that had just been cut. Gu Huaiyu saw a smile that did not belong to anyone on the corner of his mouth, and many strange hopes and possibilities emerged in his mind.

"Eh...Xiao Yu? I still have this line." Fang Ting on the side said to him.

"Xiao Yu?" Friedrich sat by the bed and called him softly.

Gu Huaiyu pulled away from the dream, raised his hand to cover his eyes, and took half a minute to get used to it before putting his hand down.It was almost noon, and when Friedrich came back from the company, he heard from the servant that he hadn't gotten up yet, so he came up to take a look.

"What's wrong with you? You don't look very good."

"I was dreaming last night." Gu Huaiyu got up and lowered his head, and pressed his temples, "It's okay."

Friedrich brought the clothes for him, and helped him put on his shirt, "I'll take you to a place."

Ups and downs in chaotic dreams all night, Gu Huaiyu was not in a good mood, but he didn't want to reject Friedrich, so he got dressed, followed him downstairs and went out.

He recovered a little on the road, and found that the car was heading towards an unfamiliar suburb. He felt a little surprised, and turned his head slightly to look at the man beside him.

Friedrich didn't explain the reason, but as if giving him a vaccination, he said, "I told Qin Kai before going home that you were drunk yesterday and couldn't go out for two days."

Gu Huaiyu imagined Qin Kai's expression when he heard such untrue lies, smiled, and leaned closer, "Where does Mr. Fu want to imprison me?"

Fritz clasped fingers with him, let him lean on himself comfortably, and asked, "Can I lock you up?"

Gu Huaiyu closed his eyes unpreparedly, let out a soft hum from his nose, and said with a smile, "Others probably can't do it."

The corners of Fritz's mouth raised, he squeezed his hand, and put it to his lips for a kiss.

They stopped talking along the way, and drove for a while, stopping at a villa resort in the suburbs.

The resort has been developed for a long time, and the maintenance is not bad.It's not that Gu Huaiyu doesn't know this place. Many old-fashioned elders don't like to take vacations too far away from home, and they all have properties here.

He's been here before, to meet people, to run some business, to close a deal.But this time was different, he came in Friedzer's car and followed him home.

Friedrich's villa is also half new and not old.Gu Huaiyu walked in, there was a bright oil painting in the entrance, the furniture and the wooden floor under his feet were in the same dark brown color, the leather sofa in the living room was covered with a soft blanket, the thick dark gray curtains were drawn, and outside the floor-to-ceiling windows was A quiet autumn.

The space is not big, there are three floors up and down, and there are no servants.However, traces of being carefully cared for can be seen, and many wooden furniture are still well maintained.

"This place was designed by my mother." Friedzer said behind him. "Before, she and my father would take me here to live for a while every year."

Gu Huaiyu didn't know much about Friedrich's parents who died young, but he guessed that their relationship should be good.

Friedrich didn't look like he was ready to talk about the old family affairs, maybe he felt that there was still a long time to talk about the past with Gu Huaiyu, and the more important thing was to hold on to the present.

So he took Gu Huaiyu's hand and walked upstairs, pushing open the door of his own room.

His room was large, with little furniture, so those Ecuadorian roses came in handy, and they bloomed beautifully.Gu Huaiyu could think of something in the short moment when his mind was blank, which should be similar to what he prepared on the deck of the cruise ship that day.

Strictly speaking, almost identical.

Friedrich's new assistant was very efficient, so he went to check with the florist last night.The other party said that Gu Huaiyu picked the flowers by himself that day, and he also took the card, wrote on it, and put it in another carefully packaged bunch, but did not send it out.

And the exact same handful is here now.Gu Huaiyu picked up the card, opened it, and saw that it was written in Frize's handwriting, and he was familiar with the words written on it.

- "Tomy rose of the rose."

Friedrich hugged him from behind and whispered, "Isn't it very creative?"

He said to himself and replied, "It's quite uncreative. I can only learn from my father in choosing the place to propose marriage, and I can only learn from you in the way of confession."

The back of Gu Huaiyu's left hand was attached to Fu Lize's left wrist, the skin touched, and the beating pulse was transmitted clearly and quietly.He thought about it, and the clumsy Gu Huaiyu from a few months ago reappeared, and said in a slow voice, "Not at all."

"I love so much."

Friedrich turned his face slightly to look at him, and was convinced of another idea. Gu Huaiyu had a lot of thoughts, but it was also true that he was taciturn and clumsy.He is always calm to others, but he is not calm in many moments for Friedrich.

That's fine, that's enough.Friedrich turned to him, bowed his head and said, "You said it yourself."

He took out the ring left by his mother, and put it on the left hand he was holding tightly just now.Gu Huaiyu seemed to be stunned, without any reaction at all, his hand was still in a natural curvature, until the ring got stuck on his knuckles, and then he stretched out his hand like a dream.

After putting on the ring, Gu Huaiyu looked down.He didn't wear his own shirt today, and it wasn't buttoned tightly enough. When he lowered his head, half an inch of the fresh scar was exposed.

He looked intently at the ring, and Friedrich looked intently at him.

Soon, Friedrich stopped letting him look at it, pressed him gently against the wall, kissed the scar on his neck, as if saying a wedding vow, "If there is any danger in the future, I will always stand in front of you. "

Gu Huaiyu raised his head, and behind Fu Lize was a sea of ​​pink and white flowers, dyed red by the setting sun, with misty golden edges, like an unreal illusion, making him feel that there are two evenings in his life that are about to overlap and merge.

Some things are completely different, such as the love in Friedrich's eyes and his smile will belong to Gu Huaiyu.But some things still haven't changed.

"Eh...Xiao Yu? I still have this line."

Gu Huaiyu put down the book in his hand, didn't even look at it, and quietly read the next line of the line to the window.

"...the world vanishes before my eyes, but I know it has never been better."

The author has something to say: The English nickname of Ecuadorian rose is roseoftherose.All the lines of the drama in this chapter are taken from Schiller's "Intrigue and Love".There's another story coming the day after tomorrow.
