The two of them did not quarrel in public. After a few words, they fell silent, glanced at the crowd, and walked this way.
The members of the alliance looked at the sky and the ground, pretending not to see anything.
Chen Feng lowered his eyes, and a faint smile appeared on his face, and said: "Let's go, I promised to take care of you, and the restaurant has been booked."
Xu Muyao watched him operate the wheelchair and didn't push it. She just walked quietly beside him.
Ye Shi turned to look at the two of them, pursed his lips and remained silent.
"Ah Shi thinks, what would happen if the ending of the fairy tale was longer?"
Gu Chenjun on the side looked at Chen Feng and the others, then looked at Ye Shi, and suddenly asked with a smile.
Ye Shi looked back at him in confusion, not surprised that he suddenly asked such a question, and thought about it carefully along his train of thought.
"I don't know." After thinking for a while with a frown, Ye Shi shook his head and gave an honest answer.
Gu Chenjun laughed softly, as if he didn't care about the answer at all, he just walked beside Ye Shi with a dazed look in his eyes: "Someone told me before that the reason why some stories have good endings is just because they are not long enough. "
"If the story is long enough, lovers will turn into enemies, people will hate each other, and love will turn into hatred. So some stories are better not to start at all."
Ye Shi, who was on one side, huddled his face in his scarf and kept tilting his head to look at his expression without interrupting him.
Suddenly Ye Shi asked: "Did someone very important tell you this?"
Gu Chenjun raised his eyebrows and asked him in surprise: "Why do you ask that?"
Ye Shi turned his head and looked forward, with the scarf covering most of his face. The temperature outside was very low, and there was still a faint white air in his breath, which made his expression a little blurry.
"I feel like you're a little different than usual."
Ye Shi thought for a while and silently leaned towards Gu Chenjun, like a penguin in Antarctica clumsily keeping his companion warm.
Gu Chenjun was startled.
After a moment of silence, he was about to joke that he was the only one looking at Ye Shi, and it turned out that Ye Shi was also paying attention to him.
But before he could say anything, Ye Shi turned around again and said somewhat seriously: "I don't know the answer to the question you asked yet. If I know it in the future, I will tell you."
Gu Chenjun was stunned and didn't reply for a while.
A group of people from the alliance were walking toward a restaurant not far away. Ye Shi and the other two were slightly behind, walking in the back row.
Winter is about to turn into spring, the temperature is very low, snowflakes are falling from the sky, and the atmosphere is quiet for a while.
Some members who came from the south saw snow for the first time. The crowd was amazed and laughing. It was noisy and lively because of the large number of people.
When comparing Ye Shi and Gu Chenjun, they seemed too quiet.
"good."
By the time Ye Shi was already lost in thought, Gu Chenjun suddenly responded.
Ye Shi looked at his expression again, but Gu Chenjun only looked forward, unable to suppress the faint smile on his lips.
There are many members of the same age in the alliance. They have known each other for a long time and got to know each other quickly. The crowd was filled with noisy laughter.
Gu Chenjun and Gu Chenjun fell behind and looked at the crowd in front of them. Looking back, Chen Jun didn't wrap his arms around Ye Shi's neck anymore. The two brothers seemed to be swaying, just walking side by side with Ye Shi.
The two figures standing next to each other in the quiet snow, their shadows seem to be stuck together in the gradually darkening night, relying on each other.
When everyone arrived at the restaurant, they first admired the size and decoration of the restaurant, then looked at the surrounding atmosphere. Even their voices and movements were somewhat restrained.
Gu Chenjun and the others were used to it, leading people in as if they were entering a deserted place.
There were many waiters waiting on the side, their movements were skillful and silent.
When the dishes were served one by one, the alliance members were a little bit speechless, and they also knew that their alliance leader, deputy alliance leader and others really did not reveal their wealth and made a blockbuster.
The meal was a feast for both the host and the guest...except for the undercurrents of Chen Feng and Xu Muyao, but at least there was no conflict on the surface.
The visitor's residence has been arranged long ago, and the reception provided by Chen Feng and others will end there. The other members of the alliance will be left to wander around on their own during the rest of the time.
The room was ready, but Ye Shi had no intention of staying there and was preparing to go home.
Gu Chenjun didn't leave anyone behind, but followed him out with great interest.
"How did Ah Shi come here?"
Ye Shi looked at him with some confusion as he followed her out, and replied: "Tram."
Gu Chenjun looked at the time on the communicator and said seriously: "The tram should be gone."
Ye Shi also checked in disbelief and found that it was actually the time for the last train before he knew it.
Ye Shi frowned and planned to look at other modes of transportation, but Gu Chenjun looked at him with a smile: "I'll take you back. There happens to be a car nearby."
Not paying attention to this "just in time", Ye Shi looked at the time and hesitantly considered whether to stay.
He was a bit familiar with his bed. He had lived in that small house since he was a child. He only felt safe at home, otherwise he would suffer from insomnia all night long.
Gu Chenjun didn't urge him, just waiting for him to think slowly.
After a while, Ye Shi raised his head again and looked at Gu Chenjun.
"good."
Gu Chenjun's car is just like his armor in the game. It is also black. It slides into the night like a black panther entering the forest.
The smooth streamlines and the low roar of the engine all show that it is expensive.
Nowadays, most private cars are electronically controlled. Retro cars like this are very rare, and the price is unimaginably high.
It's a pity that Ye Shi didn't know much about the goods and didn't show any appreciation for Gu Chenjun's car at all.
Gu Chenjun didn't care. He just taught Ye Shi, who was a little confused, to get into the car, then returned to his driver's seat and leaned over to fasten his seat belt.
Ye Shi sat with pursed lips, almost enveloped by Gu Chenjun's breath.
Seeing Ye Shi looking at the car with some curiosity, Gu Chenjun curled his lips and smiled, turned on the music in the car and started the car. His profile looked deep and mature in the dim light.
Ye Shi sat in the passenger seat and looked at his profile. The atmosphere in the car seemed even quieter amid the melodious and retro singing.
Ye Shi felt like he was back when the two were in the game. Although they were just staying together quietly, they felt very relaxed.
The unfamiliarity with Gu Chenjun he saw in reality completely disappeared. Ye Shi looked at the light and shadow passing quickly outside the car window and slowly closed his eyes.
When Ye Shi regained consciousness again, Gu Chenjun leaned over to unbuckle his seat belt, and his warm breath ruffled his hair.
Ye Shi opened his eyes in a daze, only to realize that he was too relaxed and fell asleep in the car for a while.
Gu Chenjun looked at Ye Shi and opened his eyes in confusion. His long eyelashes trembled several times from his point of view before he woke up and his eyes suddenly filled with smiles.
"Arrived, here?"
Ye Shi looked outside, and the location he told Gu Chenjun at first was around the old residential area where his home was located, and now he just arrived.
Ye Shi nodded and said, "Thank you."
After he got out of the car and walked a few steps, he turned around and looked at Gu Chenjun who had not yet returned to the car. Then he looked at the scarf still around his neck and said hesitantly: "Would you like to come to my house to sit for a while?"
Gu Chenjun, who originally thought it was enough for today, opened his eyes slightly after hearing this, and then smiled: "Okay."
After he parked the car, Ye Shi took Gu Chenjun and walked one behind the other in the place where he had lived since childhood.
Gu Chenjun looked around and couldn't help but imagine what Ye Shi would be like living here.
"Ah Shi has always lived here?"
"Absolutely. I've been here since my grandfather bought a house when I was a kid."
Gu Chenjun walked with him, but felt that the surrounding scenery had a familiar feeling.
"There, I used to sit there, waiting for grandpa to come home."
Returning to his familiar territory, Ye Shi rarely took the initiative to introduce it.
Gu Chenjun then looked around, imagining the little Ye Shi obediently waiting on the seesaw for his grandfather to come home.
Ye Shi found it a bit novel, that the memories that only he had were shared with others like this.
Gu Chenjun listened to him with a smile, while sketching out the lonely and quiet look of Ye Shi when he was a child.
"I've fallen off this slide before."
"Are you hurt?"
"No, but grandpa said he almost hit his forehead."
It was late, and the only entertainment area in this residential area was deserted. There were still grids drawn with chalk on the ground, which had obviously not been wiped off by the children playing hopscotch during the day.
Ye Shi and Gu Chenjun were walking side by side, and there was a smile in their voices when they saw the grid.
"I've wanted to play this before."
"Um?"
"But until I grew up, I didn't play it a few times."
"Why?" Gu Chenjun looked at his profile quietly.
"Because he is a 'dirty kid', he doesn't want to play with him."
There was no anger or sadness in Ye Shi's tone, he was just stating something without any ups and downs.
Gu Chenjun frowned and stopped where he was.
When Ye Shi saw that he didn't follow him, he was stunned and looked back at Gu Chenjun.
"It's nothing. But actually, I'm quite good at this game." Seeing Ye Shi's eyes that rarely looked cunning, Gu Chenjun couldn't move his eyes away for a while.
Seeing that Gu Chenjun refused to leave, Ye Shi didn't urge him. He just stood next to the unerased grids, suddenly jumped a few times easily, and looked back at Gu Chenjun, with a little smile in his eyes.
"After they came home at night, I tried to dance by myself. They didn't dance as well as I did."
"Ah Shi is so awesome." Gu Chenjun praised him, but what he saw in his eyes was Ye Shi's face with slightly curved eyes and a slight smile.
Ye Shi was less silent than usual. Now he was jumping around in the grid like a child, and looking back at Gu Chenjun from time to time.
The moonlight illuminated his profile in white. Gu Chenjun looked at his figure and felt something slowly flowing out of his heart. He suddenly had the urge to go over and hug him.
"From now on, Ah Shi, if there is anything you want to do, you don't need to be alone, just tell me."
Ye Shi's footsteps stopped in place, and he turned back to look at Gu Chenjun.
In the quiet residential area, Gu Chenjun was the only one with eyes filled with something inexplicable and a tenderness that could not be ignored.
Ye Shi didn't know why, but his ears couldn't help but turn red.
He pursed his lips, looked at Gu Chenjun's serious expression, and nodded.
"good."
