dare to love

Chapter 41

After Chen Wei woke up the next afternoon, he went directly to Su Shikang's house without delay.

When he arrived, Grandma Su was still sitting in the yard as usual. The trees in the yard were shaded, casting a shadow on the ground.

Chen Wei visits her every year when he comes back, and this year is no exception.

Hearing movement outside, the old man stood up on crutches and took two steps: "Who's back?"

Chen Wei walked up to her: "Grandma, it's me."

"Vivi?"

"Yes."

The old man saw him clearly and helped him over, "Good boy, look at you, you come to see me, an old lady, every year during the holidays..."

Someone was busy in the kitchen, Chen Wei glanced over there, and saw Aunt Wang who was preparing dinner.

Aunt Wang was invited by Su Wenjun to take care of the old lady, and she did this for two years.

"It's Vivi!"

Chen Wei nodded to her politely: "Hello, Auntie."

"Ai!"

Aunt Wang was very considerate in taking care of the old lady. The two years of getting along with her made people feel that she was part of the family. When Su Shikang came back from winter vacation last year to take his grandma for a checkup, he felt that this aunt was good, and the grandma put her at ease.

The old lady is alone, and now she has been with Aunt Wang for a long time, and the relationship is very harmonious, just like finding a daughter.

Chen Wei felt that it was still early, so he sat and chatted with Grandma Su in the yard.

"Have you contacted Kangzi?"

"I've contacted him, he's doing well, grandma, don't worry!"

"Hey!" The old lady looked out the door, "Fortunately, I didn't drag him. Kangzi has always regretted that he went to Changsha. I know he is busy, but you see that I am not doing well. Next time you will Tell him, tell him not to worry, you see Aunt Wang is so warm-hearted, no one has wronged me."

"Besides, his dad often visits me now, and my life is not bad at all, so I just want to let him stop thinking about me, what should I do, let him be the person I want to be. "

"Yes, grandma..."

Chen Wei listened, suddenly thought of something, he took out a note from his pocket with his phone number written on it, and he handed the note to Grandma Su.

"This is for you, grandma. It's my phone number. If you have anything to do and can't get through to Kang Zai, you can call me."

"Okay." Grandma Su stroked his hair kindly, smiled and put the note into her pocket.

The two were chatting, and the sun was setting. Aunt Wang brought the food to the small pavilion and called them over for dinner.

Chen Wei hadn't planned to eat here, but the old lady insisted on keeping him, so he stayed.

Then while eating, he heard the long-lost chirping of cicadas.

"There are a lot of mosquitoes here, why don't grandma bring toilet water and you can spray it on."

"No grandma, no mosquito bites me."

"Weiwei, why don't you stay here for two days?"

"..."

When Chen Wei heard this, he felt embarrassed. Although he lives alone now, it is convenient for him to stay, but Su Shikang is not here, so what is he doing living in other people's house.

He looked up into the eyes of the old lady, and found that there were too many expectations hidden there. She seemed to be alone for a long time.

Aunt Wang rented a house nearby. Except for coming to accompany the old lady during the day and cooking for her, she always went home at night.

Seeing the old lady's eyes, Chen Wei's heart softened, so he agreed to her.

Aunt Wang said: "Weiwei, it's great that you can stay for two days. I usually accompany Auntie, and there is also someone who talks to him. I will clean up Shikang's room right away. There are two beds in it. You can sleep there. Either one will do."

"..."

two beds?Did Su Shikang not move that bed after he left?

"Thank you, Auntie."

-

After dinner, Chen Wei stood in the room, looking at the empty and tidy room, he was speechless for a while.

The desk and quilts were arranged meticulously, and the owner didn't come back for a long time.

Chen Wei turned on the electric fan and lay on the bed, and there was a faint scent of wormwood on it.

This made Chen Wei feel like returning to the summer two years ago, he was lying on the bed, and Su Shikang was taking a shower in the bathroom, and he would be able to open the door the next moment and come out with the aroma of wormwood all over his body.

He felt himself getting more and more bewildered.

He suddenly remembered that Su Shikang said that he had something for him, so he opened the curtain and went to the tool room next door.

The bicycle was parked inside, but there was no dust in two years. Chen Wei thought that it must be Grandma Su who often wiped it clean for him.

There is a stack of books against the wall inside the bicycle, full of high school textbooks and test papers.

On the top of the textbook, there is a painting covered by a blue cloth.

Chen Wei picked up the painting, his heart beating wildly, and he freed his right hand to peel off the blue cloth.

Then he entered a fiery red fantasy land. The sunset in the painting shines on Shenzhou Lake, and the birds flap their wings and fly, making this quiet evening lively.That was the world he yearned for infinitely, and it was the most beautiful scenery he had ever seen and always missed.

On the upper left of the painting, three beautiful characters are outlined with a brush.

"To Chen Wei."

2018.8.7

It was the first time Chen Wei saw Su Shikang's acrylic painting. The painting was colorful and graceful, just like the painter, who had a romantic and connotative soul under a stunning appearance.

Looking at the painting, Chen Wei felt a little moved.

Rubbing the landscape in the painting with his fingertips, Chen Wei pursed his lips, with a gentle smile on his lips. The paint has dried for a long time in two years, and there are faint traces of time on it.

Why not give it to him in person two years ago?

After Chen Wei finished reading the painting, he put it away carefully, and his eyes fell on the pile of high school textbooks again. He opened one casually, and there was Su Shikang's handwriting on it, from crooked to tall and straight.

He flipped through the books one by one, as if he was looking back on Su Shikang's youth that he hadn't stopped in the past three years.

The young man sat behind him, and occasionally kicked his chair violently, deliberately attracting his abuse, and the laughter of Xie Hengdong and Rui Qiang echoed in his ears.

Flipping through the pages, I saw the English textbook again. On the blank page, there was a picture of him sleeping on the table. Chen Wei was a little surprised, but he couldn't remember which day it was.

The moonlight shines on his face, and the moonlight and him become the only scenic spot in this painting, which is harmonious and beautiful.

Chen Wei took out the English textbook and put it together with the painting.

The night before he left, he held the painting between his hands and went to watch the sunset over Shenzhou Lake.

After the summer vacation that day, wanting to watch the sunset at Shenzhou Lake with Su Shikang has become a delusion.

So he started sending messages to Su Shikang, and chatted with him when he was free. He didn't feel awkward anymore. He thought that if Su Shikang didn't have time, he would take the initiative. Playing a little temper.

After returning to school, they chatted by voice almost every weekend night, talking about everything, all kinds of anecdotes and major news, from individual chats to international...

One day, Chen Wei's roommates couldn't bear to watch it any longer. They wondered if Chen Wei had been dating a girlfriend recently. They got busy every weekend, and they were very excited to chat with each other.

Lin Wenwen asked: "Are you talking about your girlfriend? And the girlfriend is still out of town, very busy!"

"...Why do you think so?"

"Do you think this is normal for you?"

"?" Chen Wei was speechless.

Lin Wenwen pulled up a chair and sat down in front of him: "I'll show you, hey! I've been guarding my phone since Friday night. I remember that your phone is usually silent. You know that when you have a holiday on weekends, your phone rings How big is it? Don’t you have any idea of ​​these small changes of yours?”

"..."

"Also, every time you make a phone call, that one's eyebrows are beaming, and you're still so excited after the phone call, you're almost so excited to hug your buddies and kiss them."

"...I won't kiss you."

Lin Wenwen didn't care, he hugged Chen Wei's shoulder cheekily, "I said classmate Chen, who is you who called you! It must be a very beautiful girl?"

"Who told you it was a girl?"

"Then why not?" Lin Wenwen's eyes widened, "I know you like it because you look like this, so it must be girls! Can you still like boys?"

"!!!"

Chen Wei choked on Lin Wenwen's words.

Does he act like he likes it?But the person on the phone is Su Shikang, how could he...

No, Lin Wenwen was wrong, that wasn't a girl, that was Su Shikang, and he was gay, so the person he should like should be a man.

But how did Lin Wenwen know whether the person on the phone was a man or a woman? He only saw his liking and concern.

But Chen Weiru was enlightened, and he suddenly understood that it was only reasonable for Lin Wenwen to say that he liked the person on the phone if the person on the phone was a man.

The answer was right in front of his eyes, but Chen Wei froze in place.

Why couldn't he notice the small changes in himself, when he thought of Su Shikang, his heart softened, and when he heard his voice, he couldn't help laughing, he had never been like this before.

Sure enough, no matter how passionate a teenager's emotions are, can't compare to the love and lust of an adult?

He was no longer satisfied with the text and phonetic connection, he hadn't seen Su Shikang for more than two years.

But wouldn't it be too annoying and too abrupt to send a video directly to someone?

There was no one in the dormitory that day, and all the roommates went to the library. The weather was cold and Wei was not in a hurry to stay in bed. He sat alone on the cool stool, hesitating whether to make a video call.

Swipe away and back out.

He subconsciously put down his phone, straightened his hair, and saw Su Shikang tonight.

It's a pity that although he has enough ideas, he doesn't have the courage. Chen Wei feels that he is really enough. Where did the energy to chase Xie Hengdong go?

He put down his phone in distress, ready to wash his face and calm down.

However, just as he was about to get up, the video call rang, and Chen Weiteng sat back, his eyes staring at the screen.

Su Shikang, actually made a video call? !

The phone rang for a while, but Chen Wei didn't answer it. He used a lot of effort to buffer it, and then tried to calm down and click the green button.

……

"Ah...my dear Vivi?"

Then he finally saw the person he hadn't seen in the past two years, who was silently tormenting him again.

They haven't seen each other for two years, and both of them have matured a lot. Because of the strict school, Su Shikang cut his hair short, making him look more handsome and handsome than when he was a teenager.

Chen Wei coughed twice, keeping his expression and mood as calm as possible, "Yo! The sun came out in the west today, and you, a busy person, made a video call to me? I haven't seen your face for more than two years. Nah..."

"Master Chen is angry?"

"That's not so."

Su Shikang stared at the screen intently, scrutinizing him seriously: "He's still so handsome."

"Cough..." Chen Wei was uncomfortable with his focus, "The older you get, the more attractive you are...By the way, are you back from winter vacation?"

"Back."

"Really?"

"Yeah." Su Shikang lazily yelled, "...But it might be later, it's too late for the holidays."

Chen Wei smiled, looking very excited: "Then when you arrive, call me, and I will drive you home."

Su Shikang also laughed: "Why are you so excited when I come back?"

Chen Wei said: "It's so-so..."

"Virtue."

It was still early at that time, and Su Shikang hadn't gone to bed. He was sitting on a stool and playing video. Through the screen, Chen Wei could still see his roommate walking behind him.

Chen Wei asked without thinking: "Have you fallen in love?"

Su Shikang looked at him suspiciously: "What kind of stupid question is this? Don't you know I'm in a relationship?"

"..."

"Let's not talk about it, you know, I can't see a female classmate in a few miles around."

"Hey, that's a pity..."

Chen Wei thought to himself, if you can't see the good, you can't see the wonderful, it's best to face the man every day, so that you have to bend over.

Chen Wei thought again, wouldn't it be cheaper for other men?no no no...

He was thinking, Su Shikang didn't know what was going on, but actually put down his phone and said "ah", Chen Weidun felt a green grassland above his head, shouted "what's the matter" and stared at the screen.

After waiting for a few seconds, Su Shikang picked up the phone with a smile, glanced at him, then turned around and said a few words to his roommate.

Chen Wei was inexplicably upset.

"What happened to you just now?"

"Oh!" Su Shikang fixed his phone and replied, "My roommate suddenly touched my neck with an ice hand just now, it froze me to death..."

"Why is this, your roommate is too stupid, he doesn't know your body..."

"Shhhhhh!" Su Shikang said, "Keep your voice down, I don't have earphones on."

"What? I'm afraid he won't succeed? Who told him to bully you..."

Su Shikang was speechless: "Why did they bully me? Isn't this normal?"

"What's normal? He's a man!!! Shouldn't you be more careful?"

"..."

Chen Wei stared at the person swaying behind Su Shikang, and knew it must be him just now!

"Let me tell you, Su Shikang, there are a lot of gays out there these days, you have to protect yourself, you don't even know if you're cheated by gays?"

"Weiwei..." Su Shikang felt a little regretful about making this video call to him, and he said helplessly, "I promise you, next time I make a video call with you, I will definitely buy a headset in advance, okay?"

"...?"

Chen Wei is a careless person, Su Shikang's roommate has almost heard what he said just now.

But he is thick-skinned, he thinks it's nothing, and he still talks about himself: "Rui Qiang is back from the winter vacation, we will get together again in high school, Rui Qiang has been thinking about you, I want you to go back and have a drink with him."

"By the way, there is also Hengdong. How is he getting along with Lu Xiaoting now? I haven't seen them quarreling once, and you won't be able to escape the three-person game after you come back. Let's see if Hengdong doesn't speak well of you..."

Su Shikang looked at him: "Well, fine."

-

Later, Chen Wei fell into the cycle again, and he began to look forward to the winter vacation.
