34. What should I do?
Xu Douxiao took the train back to the city on Thursday afternoon. Like all men with evil intentions, he lied about his itinerary uncontrollably while being weak-minded, secretly ran away from the meeting, and drove to his ex's downstairs to sit.
From Yuan Ben moved back, he ran here every day after work, although he couldn't go upstairs, but this "go home from work, someone cooks" familiar sense still brought him hidden comfort and happiness, he is like a child who can't control himself, Yuan Ben is like a fire on the stove that his parents forbade to touch when he was a child, warm and bright, and a touch will burn out a slip of bubbles.
'I can not touch it,' Xu thought. I can keep a certain distance and get close to him infinitely, but I don't touch him, and I enjoy the warmth. ’
But the relationship is very addictive, just like drinking, at the beginning of a drink before going to bed and sleepy, then two glasses, three glasses, and when the reaction comes, if you want to experience the kind of fluttering, groggy, warm happiness again, you already need to drink two bottles.
Xu Douxiao is now the drunkard who is drunk and doesn't know it, and driving downstairs to sit and look at the light in the window can no longer satisfy him.
'I'm just visiting an old friend,' he admonished his conscience, 'and besides, this is my house, and it's always okay to see the tenants.' I had no illusions that he would cook for me, nor did I fantasize about staying overnight. ’
"That's it." Xu Douxiao said to himself in the mirror, the reflection inside straightened his tie and nodded at him.
He honed his opening line repeatedly in the elevator.
"Hey, Yuan Ben." It's so casual.
"It's been a long time, I'll come and see you." Too deliberate.
"How's it going, are you still used to living?" It's a fake, the decoration of the house is all done by Yuan Ben.
In the end, he decided to see the move, and it was all based on intuition.
The elevator soon reached the 16th floor, and as soon as the door opened, what greeted me was Tong Ling, who was coldly eyebrowed, Ning Jun, who looked ugly, and Yuan Ben.
He was obviously overwhelmed by an unpredictable visit, his thick eyebrows drooped, his thin lips pursed, and he was embarrassed and embarrassed.
From Xu Douxiao's point of view, how pitiful and pitiful it is.
Xu Douxiao, who had been thinking crankily since the day of the reunion, was enthusiastic in an instant, and rushed between Yuan Ben and Ning Jun like a fighter to defend the love of the world, and he gave Ning Jun a cold face for the first time: "What are you doing?" ”
Do? Tong Ling was simply blown up by his scumbag's attitude of maintaining Xiao San's righteousness, and raised his hand to give him a slap, but Ning Jun was faster, and the little girl who was less than a hundred pounds swung out a thousand catties of power, and the slap was crisp and loud, and there were echoes in the corridor.
She slapped her face and turned away, leaving the men where they were.
Yuan Ben was stunned: "What's the situation?" ”
Xu Douxiao turned around and asked him, "Are you okay?" They didn't treat you well, did they? ”
Yuan Ben: "I just opened the door, and I didn't say a word, and I said what the two girls could do to me." ”
Xu Douxiao: "That's good, that's good." ”
Yuan Ben: "No, Xu Douxiao, what the hell is going on, why did she beat you?" ”
Xu Douxiao didn't speak, he was just because he was a thief, and the scene at that time was too typical, thinking that Ning Jun knew all his secrets, but when he thought about it, he didn't know much about what happened.
"I don't know."
Yuan Ben: "What are you doing here?" Don't hurry up and ask. ”
Xu Douxiao didn't move, he calmed down and found that his face was hot and painful, and he opened his mouth aggrievedly: "My face hurts." ”
Yuan Ben looked at him for a while, can it not hurt? Five finger prints were imprinted on his face, half of his face was swollen, and he couldn't see that Ning Jun's small body actually contained such a great power, he sighed: "Let's put on ice first." ”
Xu Douxiao finally got his wish and stepped into the "home" with Yuan Ben, although it was for an absurd reason, but he looked at the crooked pillows on the sofa in the living room, the books thrown casually on the carpet of the coffee table, and the red wine on the kitchen peninsula, and felt that the little addiction in his heart was appeased.
He sat on the edge of the dining table and watched Yuan Ben take out an ice pack from the refrigerator, wrap it in a towel and hand it to him.
"I was too lazy to throw away the ice pack brought by Jingxi Fresh last time, and this comes in handy."
"Thank you."
"What's wrong with you?" Yuan Ben leaned on the edge of the dining table and crossed his arms and asked, he suddenly remembered his position and changed his words, "If you don't want to say it, don't say it." ”
"I don't know." Half of Xu Douxiao's face was frozen to wood, and he said vaguely.
Yuan Ben thought for a while: "Is it because I live here?" I can move ......."
"It's not!" Xu Douxiao didn't want to hear him mention the words, "Maybe it's because I didn't tell her about the house." ”
Yuan Ben was about to be laughed at by him: "You haven't said it yet? Let the family find it themselves? Xu Douxiao, what are you thinking in your smart little head? Do you know how sensitive people are to property, which is directly related to trust. What do you make people think? ”
"I was wrong, I was wrong. I've been taught a lesson. Xu Douxiao pitifully showed him the redness and swelling on his face, "I was on a business trip two days ago, so I can't send a message about this." ”
"I don't think you think you're wrong, you were so horizontal just now." Yuan Ben thought for a while, "Is there anything else?" ”
Xu Douxiao's stomach rumbled, he tossed and turned in the past two days, he couldn't eat well, he couldn't sleep well, he rushed back from out of town all the way and didn't have time to eat dinner in a hurry, and his body began to protest.
"Didn't eat?"
Xu Douxiao: "No." ”
"Only the leftovers are reprocessed, and they can't be eaten."
"Eat."
Yuan Ben turned around and went into the kitchen to cook, Xu Douxiao took off his coat, untied his tie, leaned back on the sofa, held the ice pack with one hand, and hugged the pillow with the other, watching Yuan Ben busy in the kitchen, he was wearing a Marvel cultural shirt, plaid pajama pants, the long natural rolls were messy, looking lazy, and soft, in the past, Xu Douxiao liked to make trouble with him when he was cooking, holding him from behind, like a koala, now he has no right to do so, he can only look across the peninsula. This dislocation of time and space made him feel both satisfied and uncomfortable.
Xu Douxiao was hungry, Yuan Ben was not going to do anything complicated, there were sliced bread left over from the morning in the refrigerator, went to the four sides, spread small tomatoes, chopped green peppers, ham slices, and sprinkled with mozzarella cheese, and sent it to the oven, and it was a lazy pizza when it was opened.
Then he found two bowls of porridge in the leftover rice at noon, and took out a few shrimp from the refrigeration while the rice cooker was working. He bathed the shrimp, blotted the water with kitchen paper, cut the shrimp head, split the shrimp in half from the middle, and carefully picked the shrimp line. Marinate the shrimp with salt and cooking wine, then take out a frying pan and throw the shrimp heads into the frying oil. The crackling oil brings out the essence in the shrimp head.
His hands are steady, and every step is well organized. But his heart has long been messed up.
This thing was not done properly from the beginning, he thought that time could dilute everything, but it turned out that he underestimated the importance of the past in each other's lives, today's matter is definitely not as simple as Xu Douxiao said, but he didn't have a position to ask deeply, what did he ask?
Is it because of me?
You'd better keep your mouth shut. Yuan Ben took the ginger on the board as his own thoughts, chopped and smashed it with a knife, he took advantage of the boiling porridge to pour the marinated shrimp meat and shrimp oil into it, covered the pot and simmered for three minutes, opened the pot and threw it into the ginger, for a while the kitchen was shrouded in the mellow of the fresh rice of the shrimp meat and the spicy ginger, which coaxed Xu Douxiao's heart to be very proper.
He felt that he had returned to the time when he had just settled in this city, the house had just been bought, the car had just been purchased, and the pressure of taking out a loan was not small, but it was not as happy as having a family and a job. He got off work late, and when he came back, Yuan Ben's dinner had already been completed, so he leaned on the peninsula in the kitchen to chat with him and secretly ate the meal that had been prepared. When the food is served, they share what they have seen and heard while eating. Xu Douxiao's work revolves around the computer, in addition to programming is programming, Yuan Ben's work is more miscellaneous and more fun. He ran blindly with the department leaders all day long, read some messy books and materials according to the needs of his work, went to many bizarre places, and met many people from all walks of life. Every time he comes back from work, he always brings a belly full of stories.
"Today's boss is funny." Yuan Ben sandwiched a chopstick dish to Xu Douxiao, "He is engaged in design, I don't know much about the specific category, the Fujian accent is a bit heavy, and I have done a lot of projects when I came back from studying abroad." At the age of twenty-five, he is already a billionaire, and he said that when he was in his thirties, he was the most enthusiastic about work in his life, and he didn't want anything, money, fame, he just wanted to work. Oh my God, if I had 100 million at twenty-five, I wouldn't think about anything when I was thirty, what else could I think about. ”
"There's a lot to think about. Look at Gu Yue. Xu Douxiao likes to listen to his nonsense the most, and looks at him with bright eyes, "Recently, he has been chasing a writer. ”
"Why does he always chase this kind of thing, which is so different from himself." Yuan Ben disagreed, "Doesn't Yang Siqi's example make him wake up?" The literary mouth is really not suitable for him. ”
"Will it?" Xu Douxiao was noncommittal, "The contrast between the two of us is quite big, isn't it very good?" ”
"That's different." Yuan Ben looked at him with a smile, "You look good." ”
"Is it just good-looking?"
"Gentle, considerate, and profitable." Yuan Ben counted the benefits of his boyfriend, "The most important thing is that I like you." Even if you don't know who Tang Xianzu is, I like you. ”
"I know who Tang Xianzu is." Xu Douxiao protested, "Peony Pavilion, I don't know what to do, and I go deep." ”
"Oh my God, it's over, I can't live without you anymore." Yuan Ben crossed the table and kissed him, "I love you to death." ”
Xu Douxiao ate Yuan Benzhun Ben's seafood porridge and lazy pizza, and felt a little sad, I now not only know the Peony Pavilion, but also know the West Chamber, but you have already left me, no one asks me about the porridge, and no one accompanies me late at night.
