you are with the light

Chapter 16

Chen Ke came out of the shower, saw Gu Jinbei standing at the door, and couldn't help asking, "Why don't you go in?" He suddenly thought of his messy table, and suddenly felt his face burn.

"Just go in." Gu Jinbei walked in, turned his head to look at Chen Ke, and asked knowingly, "Are we sleeping together?"

"No." Chen Ke walked in, took out a mat from the cabinet and spread it on the bed, "I'm going to sleep in my mother's room. It would be better if I spread the mat, it's too hot."

Gu Jinbei's mood suddenly fell to the bottom when he was floating in the air and was about to take off. He asked, "Why don't we go together?"

"Why not together?" Chen Ke didn't understand what he meant, "What's wrong?"

Gu Jinbei shook his head: "Nothing."

Chen Ke couldn't sleep well all night, and he woke up when there was a noise at the door in the middle of the night.

It's Chen Wanran.

Thinking of this, he got up and got out of bed.With the moonlight coming through the window, he really saw Chen Wanran.

"Mom..." He stopped in the middle of his words. Chen Wanran knelt on the ground with her head bowed and her long hair let loose. He heard her broken sobbing, like the roar of a trapped animal, fragile and powerless .

Standing in front of her, Chen Ke was suddenly speechless.

Until Chen Wanran collected her emotions and called him: "Son."

Chen Ke said, "I'm here."

"Study hard." Chen Wanran said, her tone seemed to be trying to be patient and restrained, "Promise me, study hard and don't make trouble, okay?"

How could Chen Ke refuse her?He has no qualifications and no face to refuse.

"Okay." Chen Ke said, "Mom, don't worry."

Chen Wanran tried to get up with her hands on the ground, but she fell powerlessly, making a dull "dong" sound on the floor.

Chen Ke helped her up.

He didn't dare to ask what happened to Chen Wanran. He could vaguely guess what, but he didn't dare to think about it.He helped Chen Wanran into the room, and Chen Wanran supported the wall with her hands: "Can you boil a basin of hot water for me?"

When Chen Ke was boiling the water, he squatted on the ground in a daze, and his face became itchy when he was in a daze. He raised his hand and wiped away the tears flowing from his eyes.

"Sorry……"

He said in a low voice, covering his face, the tears stained from between his fingers, and were quickly absorbed by his fingers, returning to nothingness.

Chen Wanran didn't turn on the light, went in to take a bath in the dark, Chen Ke squatted at the door, heard her whispering in pain, Chen Ke felt as if his heart had been gouged open with a knife, throbbing in pain.

After Chen Wanran took a shower, she went back to her room to sleep, and Chen Ke went back to her room.He walked into the door, went to bed in the dark, and suddenly heard someone beside him say: "Auntie is back."

Gu Jinbei's sleep is also very light, he was cultivated the day after tomorrow, Xia Yin always likes to drag him out of bed in the middle of the night, in order to vent her depression that has nowhere to rest.

"Hmm." Chen Ke's voice was very low, with helpless loss and self-blame, "Why did you wake up? Can't you sleep?"

"Wake up naturally, and you can fall asleep after closing your eyes for a while." Gu Jinbei whispered.He lay on the bed and looked up at Chen Ke, the moonlight coated this ingenious face with a layer of silver light, as if wrapping his whole body in a soft dream.

Gu Jinbei fell into this dream without any resistance.

Chen Ke was next to him, although there was no skin contact, but Gu Jinbei always felt that there was a wave of heat coming towards him, like a sea wave, almost submerging him.

Gu Jinbei couldn't sleep.

He didn't dare to turn over easily, so he could only stare at the ceiling in a daze. He didn't know that Chen Ke beside him couldn't fall asleep either, staring at the dark ceiling in a daze for a long time.

The sound of cicadas came from outside, and the sound was very clear on this autumn night. The old fan was spinning vigorously, but it could only produce a gust of warm wind.

After a long time, Gu Jinbei heard Chen Ke's cry.

Very light, very light, if you don't identify it carefully, you may think it is an illusion of the ear.When Gu Jinbei heard Chen Ke's cry, his whole body tensed up. He didn't know how to speak. Comforting others was not his forte.

Fortunately, Chen Ke's crying was very short, and the room became quiet after a while.But Gu Jinbei's heart could not calm down anymore, he really wanted to do something, this feeling was very strong, spreading from the bottom of his heart to his limbs, he thought, I must say something.

He actually spoke.

"Brother Chen," he considered his words, trying to avoid Chen Ke's unspeakable pain, "Tomorrow will be a sunny day."

Chen Ke beside him did not respond, as if he had fallen asleep.Gu Jinbei waited for a while, then quietly approached.He half lay on the bed, leaned over, and all the hot air hit Chen Ke's face, making Chen Ke's face itchy.

Chen Ke didn't sleep, he just didn't want to talk, he didn't even want to say a word, he just wanted to be quiet.

Gu Jinbei saw it by the moonlight, and shrank back.He lay in bed and continued to be in a daze.

No sleep for one night.

The sky turned from dark to white, Gu Jinbei lay on the bed, and didn't get up until he heard voices from downstairs.

Chen Ke was still on the bed, he didn't move, he just turned his head slightly to look at Gu Jinbei: "You got up?"

"Hmm." Gu Jinbei jumped out of bed and walked towards the door, "What do you want to eat? Fried dough sticks? Soy milk? Steamed buns? Or something else."

"It's all right, just look at it." Chen Ke said, "The money is in the pocket of the black trousers I put on the chair."

Gu Jinbei walked out of Chen's house without taking any money.He went to the hawker he frequented and bought two steamed buns, two deep-fried dough sticks and two cups of soy milk.He ran back with his things, for fear that these steaming things would cool down if it was too late.

But no matter how fast he ran, he couldn't run faster than the speed at which the breakfast was cold.What's more, neither mother nor child got up when he entered the door, and the breakfast on the table was completely cold.

Gu Jinbei walked into the room, and Chen Ke was still lying on the bed.He was about to become a stone statue, able to maintain a movement without changing, but Gu Jinbei didn't want Chen Ke to be like this. He felt that although Chen Ke was indifferent, he was popular.

Chen Ke shouldn't be so lifeless and lifeless.

"Get up and go eat." Gu Jinbei walked over and shook his arm.

Chen Ke was shaken by him, but there was still no movement, so Gu Jinbei shook him relentlessly: "Get up, go eat."

Finally, Chen Ke withdrew his arm and said impatiently: "Get out." His voice was hoarse, like a piece of paper being torn, and the sound was harsh and sharp.

If Gu Jinbei retreated just because of such a harmless word, then he would not be Gu Jinbei.He still shook Chen Ke's arm lightly: "Get up, go eat."

Chen Ke closed his eyes, pulled his hand back forcefully, and turned over.Gu Jinbei saw the thin back exposed as Chen Ke turned over, and the raised butterfly bones on it.They are all beautiful curves.

Gu Jinbei's words faltered for a moment. He saw a mole on the back of Chen Ke's neck, like a cinnabar, which was imprinted in his heart.He wanted to touch it with his hands, and he did.

Chen Ke was like a cat whose tail had been stepped on. He jumped up when he touched the skin on his neck before he made another move, and looked at Gu Jinbei with a face full of shock: "What are you doing?"

Gu Jinbei said without changing his expression: "Go to eat."

Chen Ke jumped out of bed and went to get his pants.He held his trousers in his hands for a while, looked at Gu Jinbei, but made no further moves.

Gu Jinbei didn't understand, so he said, "Huh?"

Chen Ke felt that this was really hypocritical, but he had to say: "I want to change my pants and go out."

Gu Jinbei nodded, walked out, and intimately walked him to the door.He squatted at the door for a while, until Chen Ke opened the door and came out.

The door of Chen Wanran's room was still closed, Gu Jinbei glanced twice, Chen Ke noticed it, and said, "Don't disturb her." Gu Jinbei looked away and nodded.

After dinner, Gu Jinbei went home.He hesitated at the door for a while, then turned to Chen Ke's door and knocked on the door. Chen Ke opened the door, and Gu Jinbei smiled at him and said, "Today is a sunny day."

The weather is indeed very good, the sun seeps in from the hollowed-out part of the corridor wall, soaking the entire corridor in the sunlight, making people feel like they have ascended to heaven.

Chen Ke pulled out a smile, raised his hand and touched Gu Jinbei's head.Gu Jinbei's hair is soft, but when he rubs it, his palms still itch slightly: "Yes."

Days are like lake water, calm on the surface but with whirlpools accumulated inside.Chen Ke went back to school as usual, but he knew that if something was broken, it would be broken.

Sun Jiani also likes to lean towards him, she doesn't seem to care about those gossips, she seems to have built a solid wall, which can isolate all external malice, and can also lash back when others speak maliciously: "It's as long as you have a mouth." Right? All day long, when will you make yourself a president and then show off your power!" Her family background is good, and her tutor is also good. She can't say anything that is too vicious, but it still makes Chen Ke feel a little warm in her heart .

But Lu Weijian was uncharacteristically estranged from him. Sometimes Chen Ke could feel that he was looking at him, but when he looked away, Lu Weijian looked away as if nothing had happened.

Chen Ke belatedly realized something was wrong.

When the National Day was approaching, Sun Jiani ran over and asked Chen Ke what his plans were for the National Day. Chen Ke didn't have any specific ideas, so he said, "Maybe stay at home."

"That's it." Sun Jiani lay on his table, leaning forward, "You go out with me. My little uncle opened a restaurant in the city, and it happens that there are important people on the National Day, and food and accommodation are included. Would you like it?" try?"

These words were spoken in Chen Ke's heart, and his interest was immediately aroused: "Success."

It happened that Lu Weijian passed by, so he interjected: "Your little uncle is short of some people, can I go?"

Sun Jiani's expression was a little displeased: "No, he only needs two people, me, and Chen Ke, and he is full."

Lu Weijian smiled: "Oh."

Chen Ke vaguely sensed that something was wrong with the atmosphere. He was not a fool, and knew that he had better refuse at this moment, but out of selfishness, he still didn't say anything.

Until the National Day, Lu Weijian never spoke to Chen Ke again.

Gu Jinbei feels very indifferent towards the holidays. He doesn't look forward to the holidays, and he even hates going home, so when the whole class is cheering on the holiday day, he sits quietly in his seat without saying a word.

His new deskmate watched him for a long time, and finally poked him with his elbow: "Are you unhappy?"

Gu Jinbei smiled at him: "Happy." He himself felt that this smile was fake.

After school, Liu Man, whom he hadn't seen for a long time, blocked him at the door. She was really a strange girl, like an unpredictable cloud, and Gu Jinbei couldn't guess what was going on in her heart.She blocked Gu Jinbei, her tone was strong and commanded: "Come out with me during the holidays!"

Gu Jinbei felt that she was unreasonable: "No."

Liu Man jumped angrily: "Why? Is it embarrassing to go out with me? Do you know how many people want to go out with me, but I refuse them all!"

Gu Jinbei said: "Then don't refuse." He frowned, looking very impatient, "Don't bother me."

When he was really angry, he was terrifying. Xia Yin once said that he was a bit like his biological father, that gentle man, but when he got angry, he looked like a ghost crawling out of hell.

Liu Man took a step back in fright.

Gu Jinbei pushed her away, and pushed her to the ground because of too much force.He is not a person who is sympathetic, just like his biological father, they seem to have lost the thing of pity from birth, and they are indifferent to anything in the world, even themselves.

"Gu Jinbei!" Liu Man kicked her legs on the spot and cried, "Push me! Hit me! Just wait!"

Gu Jinbei was annoyed by her sharp voice, and wanted to cover her mouth, but in the end reason overcame him, and he just watched coldly, as if watching a farce that had nothing to do with him.

Liu Man felt bored after making a fuss for a while.

A play is meant to be watched by the audience, but if the only audience does not give any reaction, then there is no need for the play to continue.

She got up on the ground, looked up at Gu Jinbei, her tone was still so arrogant: "I'm asking you for the last time, you'd better think clearly before you speak."

Gu Jinbei said, "I won't go."

Liu Man's face turned red, and even her neck became red: "Gu Jinbei!"

Gu Jinbei's eyes fell on Liu Man's back, and he said respectfully: "Hello, Teacher Tu."

Liu Man turned her head subconsciously, the corridor behind her was empty, and there was no one there.

When she turned her head again, there was no Gu Jinbei in front of her, she was so angry that tears almost fell down: "Gu Jinbei, just wait for me!"

Gu Jinbei walked home, and when he ran into Chen Ke at the door, his bad mood turned bright.He put away the viciousness he had when facing Liu Man, and smiled at Chen Ke: "Brother Chen."

Chen Ke nodded to him with a smile.

Gu Jinbei's smile never went down after entering the house, even if he saw Xia Yin, he could still smile and shout: "Mom is back early!"

Today's Xia Yin is different from the past, she is sitting on the sofa with an unusually bright mood.She waved at Gu Jinbei: "Son, come here and let me have a look."

Gu Jinbei walked up to her, and she reached out and touched his face with a gentle force, and didn't pinch him easily.

This kind of Xia Yin made Gu Jinbei feel a little uneasy.

"It's vacation, where do you want to go to play?" Xia Yin asked him, with a smile in her eyes, as if countless stars fell into her eyes, it was the first time Gu Jinbei saw Xia Yin with such bright eyes.

Gu Jinbei didn't dare to speak easily.

It just so happened that the stepfather came out of the kitchen at this moment. He saw Gu Jinbei and shouted, "Xiaobei is back."

Before Gu Jinbei could respond, he said again: "Where do you want to go to play? It happens that I have a holiday on National Day, so let's go out as a family!"
