Chapter 36 Pajamas

"Huo Yu, what do you look like now? I raised you up to teach you to get ahead. What are you doing now? Are you worthy of me? You are not doing your job properly! It is a waste of time! "

Huo Yu listened to his mother shouting hoarsely on the other end of the phone with almost indifference, without any trace of her usual dignified appearance.

"Do you know that my business partner told me that when he saw you online, do you know how embarrassed I was? What is the difference between you and an actor? Where do you want me to put my face?"

"You are not in Shanghai Forget about studying, forget about going to see your dad, why can't you listen to your mother? You were very good when you were a child, why are you getting more and more..." She choked, as if Huo Yu had done something unforgivable.

Huo Yu pinched his eyebrows. He felt a splitting headache. He didn't want to listen to Zhao Xin anymore. He clutched the phone tightly in his hand. The veins on the back of his hand bulged and his fingertips turned white.

"What do you want me to do?" He spoke again, his voice extremely hoarse, unusually tired and desolate.

"I want you to listen to me! Why don't you understand? Have you ever suffered and suffered since I divorced your father? I raised you by myself. Do you know how tired I am?"

Huo Yu He sighed silently.

"Are you going to be like your father? Are you going to leave your mother too? Is a hobby more important than your biological mother!" She cried, heartbreakingly.

Huo Yu was shocked by her shouts. He was a mother who pursued perfection, was always dignified and decent in front of outsiders, and was a strategic businessman, but his resentment over the failure of the marriage and his anger with nowhere to vent were all forced on his son. On the body.

Before the parents divorced, although the pressure in the family was low, a delicate balance was maintained. The divorce was not the trigger, but the last straw that broke down this seemingly happy family that was actually full of devastation.

The first time Zhao Xin got angry because of Huo Yu's singing was when he was in elementary school.

At that time, Huo Yu's parents had just divorced. Huo Yu showed interest in music. He hugged Zhao Xin's waist and said coquettishly, "Mom, I want to learn music, just like dad!"

Zhao Xin's face suddenly changed, and his eyes were cold and cold. Wet, pushing Huo Yu away with one hand, "If you dare to mention this again, you will go find your father."

Huo Yu fell to the ground and even forgot to cry.

When Huo Yu was in junior high school, he also performed on stage. At that time, Huo Yu still had expectations for Zhao Xin and expressed himself as much as possible on the stage, hoping to let her know that he was excellent and talented in this area. But everyone in the audience was cheering for him, except his mother. Instead of being happy and proud of him, she sat there coldly, her eyebrows full of anger, and she was incompatible with the surroundings.

Since then, Huo Yu never showed interest in anything in front of her, and his interest in music also passed by as time passed, until he met Xu Hexing again.

He once didn't quite understand why his mother was different from other people's mothers and would not praise him. She always felt that he was still not good enough or outstanding enough.

But his mother said - Mom loves you and wants you to get better and better. Why don't you understand?

Is this what "love" actually is? It's so twisted and makes people want to break free. Like a strong cage, trapping a bird that wants to fly freely.

Huo Yu was afraid of the word "love" from the bottom of his heart. He had heard it so many times that he was tired of it.

As he gets older, he no longer wants to pursue anything, whether it is music or his mother's understanding.

Huo Yu returned to his thoughts and leaned weakly on the railing of the stairs.

Everyone was asleep except him, and his mind was filled with his mother's angry shouts and accusations. -

It was 3:30 in the morning when Xu Hexing woke up. The bedroom was surprisingly quiet. No one was snoring. He turned on his phone in a daze, and the bright light made him squint.

Huo Yu actually sent him a message ten minutes ago?

Xu Hexing vaguely noticed that Huo Yu was not in a good mood today. As if he had received some kind of guidance, he climbed out of bed, put on the plush bear pajamas hanging nearby, stepped on the plush slippers, and gently opened the door.

The corridor light was always on, so he walked to the other side. Sure enough, the door at the stairway was closed. He pressed the door handle and pushed the door open, making a sizzling sound. Huo Yu, who was sitting on the steps, looked stunned.

A second ago, Huo Yu was still surrounded by melancholy, his eyes were dim and blurred, and he felt a heavy feeling in his face.

At this second, Huo Yu saw Xu Hexing wearing childlike pajamas, with a sleepy and cute look on his face, and his eyes suddenly lit up, like a firefly that suddenly broke into it, like fireworks that appeared unexpectedly.

Xu Hexing closed the door gently, put the one-piece hat of the bear pajamas on his head, and sat next to Huo Yu slightly unnaturally.

Huo Yu chuckled.

Xu Hexing pretended with a straight face: "What are you laughing at?"

Huo Yu shook his head and asked: "It's okay, why are you here?"

There are two staircases in a dormitory building, 306 is near the east staircase, and 316 is near the west staircase. So when Xu Hexing came here, Huo Yu was both surprised and surprised.

Xu Hexing smiled mysteriously: "I said it was telepathy, do you believe it?"

Huo Yu was startled, "I believe it."

His fingers were slightly bent, as if he were covering something up, and Xu Hexing then noticed that there was a cigarette between his fingertips.

Xu Hexing suddenly felt that something was wrong. On the surface, he was calm and calm, but in his heart, there were already waves.

Huo Yu's expression didn't change and he didn't explain.

"Cough," Xu Hexing coughed lightly, and the echo echoed around the stairwell several times, "Smoking is harmful to your health."

As he said this, he reached out and pulled out the cigarette tightly clamped on Huo Yu's fingertips.

He took a closer look and found that it was somewhat deformed.

Seeing Xu Hexing's nervousness, Huo Yu smiled: "Don't worry, I don't smoke, and I didn't even bring a lighter."

"Well..." Xu Hexing glanced at him up and down. He was wearing gray thin velvet pajamas that seemed to have a trousers pocket. None, and then I put my hanging heart back into my stomach.

"I am considering the safety of the dormitory building!"

Xu Hexing said pretentiously.

There are many boys who smoke in the dormitory building. You can often smell smoke on the steps of the stairwell and in the toilet, but Xu Hexing has never smelled smoke on Huo Yu. He thought about it for a moment and seemed to be exploring with all his strength. The taste of memories.

Huo Yu always smelled clean and refreshing. Smells particularly good.

Huo Yu nodded, looking like he was being taught humbly: "That's what Brother Xing taught you."

In fact, Huo Yu was in sorrow, tossing and turning, listening to the long snoring in the dormitory, his mind was in chaos, and he could only get up When he went out to get some air, he picked up the cigarette case on the table, but he only pulled out one cigarette. His hand hung over the lighter and did not fall down. An inexplicable thought involved him, and he finally withdrew his hand.

He thought that if he did pick up that lighter, he might develop a slight addiction to cigarettes again.

Take a puff of cigarette and enter your lungs. The pleasure can almost paralyze all the senses.

It's a taste that's hard to get rid of once you taste it once.

Smoking can relieve sorrow, but it can also become addictive.

Xu Hexing had been secretly glancing at him. Seeing that his mood had improved, he asked cautiously: "Why don't you go to bed? Are you worried?"

Huo Yu put a hand on his knee and tilted his head to look at him: "I'm really not in a good mood."

He didn't want to say more, and he didn't want to infect Xu Hexing with negative emotions. After all, Xu Hexing only wanted to be a happy and eternally shining star every day. The stars would be nice.

He didn't say much, so Xu Hexing naturally didn't ask too much, "Then you brought a cigarette...do you want to smoke?" Xu Hexing suddenly realized that he was talking nonsense. What else could he do without smoking? Pretending?

Huo Yu: "Actually, I'm just trying to show off."

Xu Hexing was speechless for a while: "..." He was still in the mood to joke, and the rain had probably turned cloudy.

It's not just cloudy, Huo Yu is extremely happy at this moment, the sky is clear and the sun is shining brightly. The appearance of Xu Hexing blew away the dark clouds.

"How's your review going?" Xu Hexing asked for a topic.

Huo Yu raised his eyebrows: "I should be the one asking you about your review progress, right?"

"I'm very good at reviewing, and I'm very confident that I can surpass you." Xu Hexing exaggerated, raising his chin a little proudly, his little movements were very exaggerated and made Huo Yu laugh. .

"Then I'll wait for your good results." Huo Yu smiled.

Seeing the strong smile in his eyes, Xu Hexing felt relieved, "Then you have to be prepared. If your brother Xing is surpassed by me, I'll see where you put your face."

His last voice rose slightly, with a bit of playfulness.

Huo Yu couldn't help it anymore. He raised his hand and pulled off the hat covering his hair, and rubbed his soft hair several times. His already untidy hair became even more messy. Xu Hexing endured the touch of his head with a confused look on his face. The warm touch was particularly obvious, and he felt itching in his heart.

Considering that he is in a bad mood, let him touch it once.

Moreover, he rubbed it, and it felt quite comfortable...

Xu Hexing's face felt hot, and he covered it up with a hat with little bear ears.

Huo Yu held back his smile: "I'm sorry, you were too cute. I couldn't help it."

Xu Hexing avoided his gaze for fear of being sucked in: "Then you, pay attention next time."

Huo Yu heard this, "Well, I will tell you in advance next time "

Xu Hexing: "..."

Xu Hexing had to admit that he was "hit" by Huo Yu's words. His heart was so weak that he loved it so much.

Xu Hexing racked his brains to find new topics, not wanting to leave Fan Wei in a subtle ambiguity.

"Did you know that you became famous again? I saw that the video of your finals video became a local hit."

Huo Yu not only knew that, but he was scolded for it, but he remained calm. He looked confused: "Huh?"

"You don't know? Are you online, brother?" Xu Hexing was shocked and pulled out the video of himself making three consecutive clicks. "Look!"

Huo Yu said with a funny face: "It seems you like this very much. video."

Only then did Xu Hexing notice that the little red heart and collection on the right were on. He was a little embarrassed: "Ahem, look at the comments."

He abruptly changed the topic and clicked on the first comment above. Surprisingly, it was my own comment, with only two likes - I said Ning Da Huoyu is the most handsome and no one would refute it, right? ? ?

Huo Yu: "..."

Xu Hexing: "..." Damn it! My broken hands! You shouldn’t click it!

"..."

Xu Hexing forced out a laugh and turned off the phone. The black screen reflected two handsome faces, their heads very close to each other, and they continued to look at the phone together.

Huo Yu suppressed a smile, "I said I didn't see anything, do you believe it?"

Xu Hexing gritted his teeth: "I believe it, I believe it too much!"

Xu Hexing folded his hands around his knees and buried his head on them. The bear ears on the pajama hat stood up. From the back, it looked like a cute and cute little bear breaking into human society. Huo Yu pinched the bear ears. Xu Hexing noticed it and huddled up uncomfortably.

"It's your birthday soon, what gift do you want?" Huo Yu asked.

Xu Hexing made a dull voice: "I don't know, it's okay, I don't choose."
