Chapter Twenty-Seven: I'm Afraid You'll Never Return (Part I)
Angry and cautious and crying, Captain Ji, Xu Shrimp poured a glass of boiling water, sat on the sofa and drank it in small sips to restore his stomach that had not yet recovered. Using this almost self-harming method to win the favor of beautiful women, he vowed never to do it again.
Xu Shrimp drank water, looked at the empty room with a happy smile on his face. Although Ji Ruomin has left, he still feels that the house is full of her shadow, just like that nice saying: When you are there, you are everything; You're not there, it's all you. He felt that this sentence suited his current mood.
There was nothing to do left and right, and there were injuries on his body, Xu Shrimp drank water and decided to sleep. But when I got into bed, I realized that without Ji Damei's soothing in front of me, the injuries on my body hummed and hurt again. I finally got into a daze, but I was woken up by my mobile phone. Look at the call, it's the top boss, Hao Rui, a one-night stand partner not long ago.
Xu Shrimp connected, but before he could speak, Deputy Director Hao's voice came from inside: "Xiao Shrimp, why didn't you come to work today, haven't you finished your work?" "Xiao Shrimp has been busy with the closing ceremony recently, and often runs outside, so no one asks if he doesn't go to work, so Hao Rui said.
Xu Shrimp sighed: "It's almost busy, and the biggest thing left is to go to the Qingrin Lingding Hotel, and then contact the management committee and ask them to help." It's still time, we'll go together next Monday. ”
Hao Rui said strangely: "Next week? So what are you doing this week? ”
Xu Shrimp said: "I have something at home this week, and I have to take a week off. ”
Hao Rui was silent for a while, then lowered her voice and said, "Stinky boy, why do you suddenly ask for a week off for no reason?" You can't be trying to avoid me, right? ”
Xu Shrimp said helplessly: "Eldest sister, I can hide from you for a week, can I hide from you for a lifetime?" Don't forget, you're my boss, and I'll have to rely on you to cover me in the future. ”
Hao Rui said angrily: "What about it, do you still treat me as your boss now?" It's been a long time, you've ignored me, and I usually have to look at your eyes, for fear of off your little villain. ”
Xu Shrimp smiled bitterly: "What's the matter? It's all your own psychology. I've been out running lately and how many times have I been to the unit? Isn't it all about work? ”
Hao Rui said bitterly: "You still know that you haven't been here a few times, so why do you take so long a vacation?" ”
Xu Xia endured his surname and said: "But I can go to work, can I still take such a long vacation?" I'm really something. But I can't explain this matter in a sentence or two, you let me go to work and talk to you in detail. Next Monday we will go to Qingrafter Ridge together, and then there will be time, I will tell you again. ”
Hao Rui said unwillingly: "Okay, I won't ask." Continue to lower your voice to the point of being bone-chilling: "Then when you come back...... Can you share the worries of the leader again? ”
Xu shrimp sweats! Afraid of directly refusing to hurt her, he also learned to lower his voice and create a tense atmosphere: "You are crazy! You're still at work, aren't you? How can you say such a thing in the office, you forget about the two big mouths next door to you? ”
Hao Rui was frightened, hurriedly resumed her normal voice, and reluctantly said, "Okay, let's talk about it next week." ”
The phone hung up, Xu Xia threw the phone aside and lay back on the bed.
Hao Rui's phone call made him a little helpless. Since that night, the relationship between the two has inevitably been ambiguous, Hao Rui is secretly and secretly, there is always some unfinished taste, and now he mentions it on the phone again, and he probably can't help it.
Xu Xia thought of himself again, how could it not be so. Since Lin An'an graduated, he has never had the heart to have any kind of relationship with any girl. went to N City to study for a master's degree, the original university relationship was broken, and he didn't want to find a random make-do, so he started to play a one-night stand, to put it bluntly, it was to vent his physiological needs, but he didn't expect to play for more than four years, and now he finally met a lovely person again, and there should be a change.
Xu Xia didn't think much about it, closed his eyes and fell asleep.
◇◇◇◇◇
When Xu Shrimp woke up, it was already dark, and he found that his left arm was outside, his body was still covered with a quilt, and the kitchen outside was lit with lights, and the sound of stir-frying was transmitted. It turned out that Ji Ruomin not only came, but also covered him with a quilt. Before going to bed, he was afraid of pressing his left arm, so he deliberately didn't cover it.
Xu Shrimp was moved. Although the quilt is small, it reveals the most simple and direct care. At least Ji Ruomin came, and when he saw that he didn't cover the quilt, he thought of it, so he covered him, this matter is so big, it is impossible to do better.
Looking at the time, it was past six o'clock in the evening, Xu Xia sat up with difficulty, got out of bed, and went straight to the kitchen.
There are two dishes on the table, there is a soup boiling on the stove, it smells like crucian carp soup, and Ji Ruomin, who is dressed in casual clothes, is preparing the last dish: lotus root.
Xu Shrimp went to the kitchen door and asked, "How long have you been here?" Why don't you call me? ”
Ji Ruomin didn't raise his head and said, "It's been more than half an hour." You're injured and sleeping just right, why call you? ”
Xu Shrimp said with some self-deprecation: "It's okay for me to sleep a little less, but you come for a while every day, if you can wake me up, I can at least watch you for a while." ”
Again, the tone seems a bit sentimental due to self-deprecation. Ji Ruo was sensitive, and it was rare to look at him seriously, wanting to see what was wrong with him, but in the end, he changed his eyes to a blank eye: "You want to see me so much, why don't you wait at the door?" Anyway, your old man has great powers, so I have to come. ”
Xu Shrimp sighed and said, "If you can really be sick for a lifetime, it is okay for you to take care of it for a lifetime." But I still want to get better as soon as possible and have a normal relationship with you, even if you don't agree, I can continue to work hard, it's better than now, so that you can come again and again. ”
This time the tone was not only sentimental, but also sad. Ji Ruomin was strange, didn't he just sleep the next afternoon, why did the stinky scoundrel suddenly learn well? Is it really noon? Look at him again: "What medicine did you take in the afternoon?" ”
Xu Xia shook his head and said, "I don't understand what you mean." ”
Ji Ruomin didn't cut the vegetables anymore, carried the kitchen knife to him, leaned in front of his face and said: "It means that since I have known you, I have heard you say so many things, only the sentence just now is the most like a man." ”
Xu Xia smiled, he didn't expect that the emotions he was aroused by Hao Rui before going to bed were actually considered a "man" by Ji Ruomin, it seems that his life is really going to change, and this person who made him change is right in front of him. smiled slightly: "Maybe I'm a man, but sometimes I have to do something unmanly." ”
Ji Ruomin stared at him, and suddenly laughed from his nose: "You Gu Long?" As soon as I praised you, I said these inexplicable words. ”
Xu Shrimp was amused for a moment, Ji Ruomin glanced at him proudly and charmingly, and turned around to cut vegetables.
Xu Xia stopped and said, "Ruomin, I really have something to discuss with you, I'm afraid that you will say that I am a scoundrel again." ”
Ji Ruomin stopped with a kitchen knife, turned around and said, "What's the matter?" ”
Xu Xia cautiously stared at her kitchen knife: "I want to ask you, can you feed me at night?" ”
As soon as the words fell, Ji Ruomin said "stinky scoundrel", and the kitchen knife really came in the wind, and it slashed in front of him in an instant. Xu Xia, who had been prepared, said loudly: "Knife! Knife! Do you want to murder your husband? ”
Ji Ruomin blushed, stretched out his arm, and further compared the kitchen knife to his eyes: "For the sake of your more normal speech tonight, I'll listen to your bullshit reasons first." But if you can't say it well, huh! Hum! ”
Xu Shrimp smiled bitterly: "The reason is very simple, I only have one right hand, it's just good to use it, the key is that I can't hold the bowl with a spoon; Holding the bowl without holding a spoon, you can only lie on the table and eat against the bowl, it's too awkward, and I'm always worried about touching the bowl to the ground, so you can be kind and feed me, right? ”
Ji Ruomin glanced at him reluctantly, compared the kitchen knife in his hand and said, "Your reason is barely reasonable, I will promise you a good deed." But if you listen to me, if you dare to eat all the dishes again, I will really cut you with a knife! ”
Xu Xia smiled: "Don't worry, I'd rather be stabbed to death by you than be brain-dead again." ”
The two looked at each other, from nothing, and laughed at the same time.
