Chapter XVIII. July
[Long time no see, I miss you.] 】
Xiao Han really wanted to give Su Xia a bear hug, but his hands were inconvenient, and the distance between the two people was also far, he was used to talking to those people on the construction site, and after meeting Su Xia, the way of communication between the two people returned to the original point, one person spoke and one person typed the words on the memo, this is the best way to communicate at present.
"Long time no see, too... Missed you. Su Xia relented after all, looking at Xiao Han, he always felt that the person in front of him was very tired, he had lost a lot of weight, he didn't have much meat, but now at first glance it looks like a skeleton, the walking dead?
[Don't stare at me like this, go, eat hot pot or barbecue, you choose, I have to go back before nine o'clock, otherwise I will really wander the streets. 】
"Well, let's eat hot pot, the one last time." Su Xia subconsciously stretched out his hand and handed it to Xiao Han, the moment the two hands touched together, Xiao Han's emotions were uncontrollable, obviously it didn't reach that point, why did he pull out this feeling from the bottom of his heart, his eyes were moist.
[Okay, how are you doing?] 】
Xiao Han was reluctant to let go, and took a long detour, just to make this kind of time a little longer, a little longer, and when it can be maintained until another day, anyway, it is not to stop now, flashing neon blurred his vision.
"It's good, you can order whatever you want." Su Xia didn't let go in advance, and it wasn't until he arrived at the door of the hot pot restaurant that Xiao Han let go, found a window position on the second floor, sat face to face, and called a waiter.
"Hello, what do you need? Is this a mandarin duck pot or a spicy pot. ”
"Clear soup, just serve it a little bite, just don't want chili peppers." Xiao Han flipped through the menu, it was indeed tasteless, he just wanted to stay with him, and it didn't matter what else he did.
"Whatever? You might as well order it yourself. ”
"It's really casual, something like hot pot is a hodgepodge anyway, and the taste of anything boiled is almost the same, so you can order it casually."
"Okay, listen to you, the bottom of the pot is up, be careful of the heat."
This conversation, in Su Xia's eyes, was like a pantomime performance, he couldn't hear the noise around him, and he couldn't hear Xiao Han's voice, he could only see, smell, and touch.
[I asked the waiter to order casually, is that okay?] 】
After a busy day, Xiao Han's leg was already aching, obviously it was only the first day, how could he have an unbearable impulse, if he left the construction site, where could he find a job that was easy to get money and fast, and he had to work his own, pulled the corners of his mouth, and found that Su Xia's gaze had been on him, as if he could see through it at a glance.
"Well, what have you been doing all this time, why have you lost so much weight?" Su Xia thought about apologizing, but couldn't say anything, and wanted to find something to talk about.
[Weight loss, hey, how can other people's food be as delicious as their own, Su Xia, I ate enoki mushrooms and green peppers yesterday...]
Xiao Han himself felt funny, it felt like asking for a reward, I really don't know if Su Xia would really give any reward.
"Xiao Han, I'm sorry."
Reward? Apologize? Ahh Xiao Han felt like a firework in his heart, and his hands trembled for a long time.
[What, I also have to say, I'm sorry Su Xia. 】
"You're not wrong, it's always been me who is wrong." Su Xia stretched out his hand and rubbed Xiao Han's hair, the two-person table was not big, and his hand just touched it, just like the next day after the official acquaintance, the day Xiao Han dropped out of school, the day he appeared in the No. 1 Middle School for the last time.
The dish was almost served, and the bottom of the pot was boiling for a while, Xiao Han picked up the plate and put all the ingredients in it, and scattered a pot of beef, quail eggs, hot dry noodles, crab leg meat, shrimp slippery, shrimp dumplings, corn sausages or something, and the enoki mushrooms at the bottom automatically ignored.
"I'll feed you." Su Xia couldn't help but say, I haven't seen you for a day, like every three autumns, and finally realized it once.
Xiao Han blinked, looking like he was selling cuteness, squeezed next to Su Xia, the position was in the middle, he hid himself in the corner, and the distance was very close.
The bubbling bubbles at the bottom of the pot, Su Xia pinched a little bit, put it in the bowl and blew lightly a few breaths, and deliberately moved forward a little to cover most of Xiao Han's body.
"Is it delicious?"
Xiao Han nodded, the beef was only half bitten, splashed a few stars of soup on Su Xia's shirt, grabbed a paper towel and was about to wipe it, finally reconciled, what stupid things are you doing, Xiao Han, are you stupid?
"It's okay, just go back and wash up." Su Xia saw Xiao Han's nervousness, laughed to relieve his nervousness, took a pair of chopsticks hot dry noodles, and just put it in his mouth, Xiao Han turned his head and held the piece hanging outside, for more than ten seconds, and then... Bitten off, that's it?
I don't know why I want to do this, what kind of confusing behavior?
[Su Xia, is it more delicious for you to taste? 】
Xiao Han was troublesome and grabbed the chopsticks and ate the hot pot directly, after all, some things can be poked with it, eat it early, and you can go shopping together for a while.
Su Xia blushed from the root of his face to the root of his ears, picked up the sour plum soup and drank half a cup, the last time the fries were hot and dry noodles, and the next time he had squid whiskers, and then simply kissed it, okay?
It took an hour and a half to get a meal, and at the end there was still some leftover in the base, which was really inedible.
[Su Xia, do you want to go to the river beach? It's so comfortable with the wind blowing. 】
Xiao Han pulled Su Xia's hand again, his fingers digging into his fingers, and clasped them tightly.
"Well, let's go for a walk and eat a cone?" Su Xia stopped outside the ice cream parlor, and an ice cream cost dozens of dollars.
[This? Too expensive, right? A few dollars a piece in the freezer of the commissary will do. 】
Xiao Han suddenly had a feeling that the cone was out of reach, it had become the flower of Kaolin, and Sansheng was lucky.
"Huh? What's expensive? More than 200 hot pots were eaten. Su Xia thought Xiao Han was grinding, walked into the store and picked out two cones, ignored the app discount that the waiter said, and paid by scanning the code.
The waiter on the platform, a man and a woman, looked at each other, is this a big deal?
There are not many people in the store, the cone is ready at once, two cheese peach flavors, the sweetness is just right, this boy can also grow grass.
[Su Xia, this is so delicious, it is definitely the best cone I have eaten in seventeen years. 】
"Well, so am I."
[Let's go to the river beach, how about taking the ferry?] The river view at night is also very beautiful. 】
"Okay, as long as it's with you, I can go anywhere."
Hand in hand, I turned a few streets from Jianghan Road to Jianghan Pass, the cone melted in my mouth, this season is that you should eat peaches, Su Xia stood on Xiao Han's left, just watching the crowd flow endlessly, the traffic was busy, and the sound of his body came to naught, is it in a parallel world, can he hear it, turned his head sideways and looked at Xiao Han, the ear bone nail on his left ear was very conspicuous, and he had never seen him wear it, and he thought he didn't have pierced his ears.
"Xiao Han, have you pierced your ears? When was this? Su Xia held the phone tightly in his hand, the screen lit up, and it was probably Chen Xuan asking some boring things in the class group nonsensically, which the second class students were used to.
[When I was in junior high school, I was young and ignorant, and I usually wore the kind of plastic ear sticks used for anti-inflammatory, how did I go? You want to wear it too. 】
Xiao Han's memo is full of words chatting with Su Xia, and he can't hear the tone through the screen, if it is said, Su Xia may feel better, a few words in black on a white background, if it is Xiao Han, what kind of tone is he now, he regrets it more and more.
"No, you look good on it, swipe the card, the ferry is coming soon." Su Xia opened the boarding code and urged Xiao Han to enter the turnstile quickly, but Xiao Han's screen was colorful, and he couldn't find the location of the boarding code app for a long time, so he was exhausted.
[Hey, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, this thing hasn't been used for a long time, and I forgot where I threw it all of a sudden, let's go, go there and wait. 】
Xiao Han pulled Su Xia's hand, clutched it into his palm, the wind poured straight into his clothes, Su Xia pulled his shirt, the figure of the young man was reflected in the night, standing on the second floor of the ferry, blowing the wind wantonly, lifting his hair, with a youthful madness on his face, there were a few small boats floating on the river, flashing signal lights.
"Xiao Han, go home, I really miss you." Su Xia enlarged the decibel in his ear, and several young people behind him cast their eyes.
[Huh? Go home? It's not good, fuck me. 】
Xiao Han rubbed his ears, for fear that he had heard it wrong, that sentence went home, it really came to Xiao Han's heart, with seven reluctance and eight reluctance in his hand, it was like a carnival carnival in his heart, can he really go home?
The word home, after Chen Xinyan and Xiao Mo divorced, was deleted from Xiao Han's memory, it sounded a little blurry, the wind was blowing very sober, Su Xia didn't drink, and both of them were sober.
"Come back, even if I can't hear it, I hope you make trouble next to it, even if the world is silent in the future, it's okay to talk after so long." Su Xia stared at the TV tower in the distance, which was considered a landmark building, and slowly approached the shore, and he couldn't wait for Xiao Han to answer, is it really impossible, it is not possible to be like before, always try to take a few steps forward, how to know if you don't try.
[Well, go home, I miss you too, this day is like every other autumn, I can't help myself from thinking about you, I've only known each other for a month, why is it like this. 】
When Xiao Han typed this sentence, he glanced up at Su Xia, there was no crazy output, and he edited it carefully a few times, just a simple sentence, like a temptation, and for others, it was more like a joke.
"Hmm."
[I have to go back and say, tomorrow morning, go home.] 】
Xiao Han leaned against the railing, his head was messed up and he didn't know what he was thinking, and the ferry slowly landed.
"Well, I'll wait for you, wait for you to come home." Su Xia took his hand and clenched it tightly, and the finger bones were about to be pinched off if he was stronger, and the possessiveness that entered the bones came to his face.
[Su Xia, let's go to Hubu Alley? 】
"Hmm."
The two walked side by side, the stars in the sky above the city were speckled with shadows, and the shadows were leaning behind them, one long and one short.
Hubu Alley has just become lively at this time, the figures are crowded, and the fireworks are too heavy.
Walking in the crowd, the people around were full of people, Su Xia's beautiful eyes contained this scene, the city was too noisy, but it was like watching a silent movie.
On the one hand, he was really deaf, and on the other hand, he was dumb, but he pretended to be just right.
"Xiao Han, it's going to be nine o'clock."
[It's okay, it's nine o'clock, hey, Su Xia, today's night sky is so beautiful, tomorrow will be a sunny day. 】
Xiao Han swiped the camera and recorded a video with one hand, there is a night sky, streets and alleys, and two people in the video, with pure music, it is good to see it, save it and send it to Moments, mentioning Su Xia, and the copywriting is-"You can't ask for it like an alien object." ”
[Send it to Moments, you save the video, post one too, and the copywriter will write - "Your name in the world doesn't matter." ", and then mentioned me. 】
Su Xia responded and clicked on the upper right corner of the circle of friends, this should be the first circle of friends since high school.
But in a minute, the screenshot of the QQ group's WeChat group was spreading, and the formation in the class group walked twice,—— congratulations to the second class for mentioning the first circle of friends!!
also TM went to the wrong group, a few teachers stared at the screen and didn't know whether to click the plus sign, anyway, Liu Lanzhi ran to the space to watch the game after clicking it.
What do they say? Why does my phone keep turning on? Targeted by a large army? 】
"Chen Xuan, they are foolish." It's the second time that the mobile phone is so lively, the first time it's given by Chenxuan, and the second time it's given by Chenxuan, and it's a touching classmate.
In the chaos, Chen Xuan's voice received all the clicks - Banhua, I won't say that you refused me to come out to play during the day, this night is exciting enough, how many girls in the second class have their dreams shattered like this.
, it's still in the wrong group, come on for the college entrance examination in the second class of high school? Shouldn't this kind of voice be posted in the group of the motherland's little yellow flower?
Su Xia was really angry, and he couldn't wait to rush to Chen Xuan and beat him twice, and it was estimated that he would not be angry even after ten beatings.
The girls in the class group walked in formation, whining and tearing expressions, and a few boys also nodded with a plus sign.
At this time, Li Xiao is using his brain to pay for these brainless behaviors...
The Commission for Discipline Inspection and Qi Lu opened a chat box, and the tempered film was about to be broken by their hands.
Xiao Han was really envious in his heart, his eyes glanced at Su Xia's mobile phone screen from time to time, thinking about what kind of messy people he knew in the first class, especially in the first year of high school, it was a rebellious period, and they made an appointment with the Internet café to book the night, and made an appointment to go to a place to "educate" people, a proper bad young image, and the second year of high school began to reflect on all kinds of "deeds" before, how could Su Xia know.
There are not many people on the ferry on the return trip, so ask about the hot ones, but fortunately there is central air conditioning to serve everyone.
[Su Xia, what are the arrangements for tomorrow? ] 】
"Wait for you to get home."
Ripples rippled along the surface of the river, spreading out along the hull of the boat, slowly approaching again.
[Su Xia, go back, it's very lively under your residential building at night, nothing should happen, I'm a little dangerous. 】
Xiao Han thought about the five days since he entered the bureau, and then there was no news of that person.
"Danger? What happened? Su Xia looked at Xiao Han nervously, as if he was afraid that something would happen to him, and the mobile phone was still vibrating, so he wanted to throw it into the river to feed the fish.
[It's nothing, let's go to the subway station, I have to get off work if I continue to stay in the subway.] 】
Su Xia looked at every word very seriously, with a pair of black thin-framed glasses on the bridge of his nose, Xiao Han looked at Su Xia, and still felt that the previous pair of silver-rimmed glasses was more suitable for Su Xia, and smiled.
"Why do you keep staring at me? Do I have something on my face? Or is it this? Su Xia took off her glasses and handed them to Xiao Han, as soon as the evening breeze blew, the two of them actually subconsciously hugged each other, what happened to this?
[You look good in whatever you wear, you look harmless to humans and animals, and your temper is more stubborn and harmful than that of a donkey. 】
Xiao Han held the glasses in his hand and looked at them for a long time, thinking that if he wore a silver chain, it would be a bit like the kind in the anime, which would have a good taste.
"You're just like a donkey, roll, the car is coming, if you don't come up, I'll go first, weird." Su Xia stepped into the carriage with his front foot, and Xiao Han followed with his back foot, and there were not many people on the subway at night, Xiao Han sat on Su Xia's left.
[Do you have a habit of cleanliness, I don't know how many people have sat on this chair and wiped it, just a few stops, the little girl seems to have it. 】
Xiao Han handed the phone to Su Xia, and Su Xia twisted his thigh, if it wasn't for a public place, Xiao Han might have made a move, and suddenly felt that a stand was very long, Su Xia leaned on Xiao Han's shoulder, and the water beads overflowed from the corners of his eyes, slid down his cheeks, and dripped on the back of Xiao Han's hand.
"Xiao Han, go home, don't pester them anymore, don't they care about you? Why do you still have to rely on it, the script is not right, why do you care about those details, domestic violence, abuse, being beaten by a ruler, being pushed to the ground and not fighting back, TM Is this still a person? On the hands, back, legs, knees, blue and red, you can be regarded as knowing what you mean by being red and swollen last time, co-authoring is your own experience, this personal experience, Xiao Han, do you know what you are doing this for? Have you ever wondered why you're the way you are? Su Xia's voice was very soft, as if he was talking to the air, Xiao Han ignored him and talked to himself.
After getting off the subway, Su Xia rubbed her eyes, whether she was drunk or what, Su Xia herself didn't know, and Xiao Han didn't know.
[I'm afraid that there will be no such opportunity in the future, and if I don't have this opportunity, I will rely on them for a while, and if I don't recruit people, I won't be welcomed, didn't you say take me home? Am I not here? I will respond to my request, Su Xia advises you to cherish it, don't regret it in the future. 】
Xiao Han's sentence has been edited for a long time, to be precise, every sentence he said has to be edited for a long time.
Now it's daytime abroad, Xiao Mo walked out of the apartment, there were few people on the street, the pace of life abroad was very slow, you could go to the café at nine o'clock to sit, read the newspaper and drink tea, men don't like desserts and the like, so in the café, men generally drink coffee and women eat desserts, Xiao Mo sat by the window with Erlang's legs crossed, which is still very synchronous between father and son.
Xiao Han is also accustomed to sitting by the window, where you can see the long street, giving people a special sense of security.
"President Xiao, you came over for coffee this morning, hey, by the way, this is the document you asked me to tamper with last time, I changed it, you can take a look." The female employee of the company is surnamed Xia, an ordinary office worker, and she is also a domestic transfer, she has admired Xiao Mo for a long time, and she has always been close to Xiao Mo, thinking that he is also a married man.
Looking up and not looking down, both of them were quite embarrassed.
"Put it there, isn't there a meeting with the boss in the morning?" Xiao Mo stretched out his hand and pointed to the table.
"Huh? You almost forgot if you didn't say it. ”
"Don't make the boss wait for a long time, tsk, you haven't seen it."
"Yes, go now, President, your tie is crooked." The female clerk put down the papers and left.
Xiao Han exhaled, the tie was the handle of the belt given by Xiao Han on his birthday the year before last, I don't know if this child has seen too much things, father and son are in pairs.
[It's still comfortable at home, hey, Su Xia, what's going on with this doll? ] 】
Xiao Han handed the phone to Su Xia, just as Li Wenjun's WeChat message came, picking up the doll of the three bears on the sofa.
Su Xia stared at the WeChat message on the top, why did the person named Uncle Xiao Li come back earlier with Xiao Hanfa? Hesitant to click on the message to see, Xiao Han he... Outside was fostered!! Fuck !!
"Huh? That,It was given by a classmate on your birthday before.,You mentioned it in your dream last time.,Take it out and put it on the table.。 Su Xia handed the phone to Xiao Han, not so much to hand it over, but to say that she wanted to return it to its original owner as soon as possible.
Holy shit, what's going on with this tm? Xiao Han also stared at Li Wenjun's WeChat and was stunned, and replied, Uncle Li, I will go to the construction site tomorrow, I won't trouble you at night, I am afraid that Uncle Big Tiger and Uncle Feng will joke with me in the middle of the night, I really can't stand it.
"Xiao Han, don't you only know Uncle Lin who drives the bus? Why..."At this time, who is hiding it, and if you are not satisfied, you will ask, who are you afraid of, what uncle does it matter, and the person who robs me will be finished!!
You see... Hey, no one, drunk and playing truth or dare with people sent me here. 】
Xiao Han pinched the bear's head, thinking that he should be able to prevaricate the past, and his heart was bitter, saying that the sky should not be called the earth, he was annoyed, who believed this broken reason.
"Hmm." Su Xia glanced at his phone, raised his eyes and glanced at Xiao Han again, turned around and left.
Xiao Han also followed and was stopped at the door of the toilet.
"Take a bath, want to see?" Su Xia's voice swept in Xiao Han's ears, and he was embarrassed for a while, "Turn on the air conditioner, give you some time to think about how to explain, 'Come back early'." ”
Come back early and come back four words, Su Xia bit very hard, as if he put the person named Uncle Xiao Li in his mouth and bit it, took off his glasses and stuffed them into Xiao Han's hand.
[Fuck, Su Xia, why do you look like a little girl, so sensitive? Isn't it just a WeChat? 】
Xiao Han typed quickly, and just handed it to Su Xia, Li Wenjun's WeChat sent it, and the content was-It's okay, they are happy to see you, usually this place is full of big men like us, when you are young, they are not happy.
Of course, without clicking on the news, Su Xia sank his face and closed the door with a "bang".
"Xiao Han, you're playing a lot, aren't you? Why do you come to see me if you want to be angry? Out of sight, out of mind, everyone is happy. ”
There was the sound of water in the toilet, and the sound Xiao Han heard was loud and small, vague, and he could hear the sound of gas.
I couldn't wash it when I jumped into the Yellow River, pinched the bear in my hand, and thought to myself about bringing a "burial".
replied to Li Wenjun Well, thank you, uncle, turn on the message Do Not Disturb, clear the chat history, and set up a series of actions to chat only, after all, there is a lot of time to use the mobile phone after that.
The sound of the water stopped, and after a few minutes it turned on again, and the sound of foam dripping down lasted for a few minutes except the sound of water hitting the tiles.
Xiao Han rushed to the room a few seconds before Su Xia pushed the door, turned on the air conditioner, and took the pajamas, which were not a complete set, I don't know what kind of effect he can wear.
