add to the chaos

When Qiu Cen opened the door and came in, Li Tian was still sitting on the low stool in the storage room.

Because the stool was too short, Li Tian looked aggrieved after sitting on it. His long legs were curled up, his knees were at the same level as his chest, and his hands rested on the edge of the iron box on his knees. His slender fingers unconsciously rubbed against the iron box. frame.

There are many colorful cards in the iron box, and Li Tian is holding one of them in one hand, holding it up in front of his eyes for a closer look.

"Still watching?" Qiu Cen looked at it for a while, then shook his head helplessly.

Since Li Tian's birthday, he took off all the things on the wall and carefully sealed them in this iron box, and then put them in the storage room. When he was alone at home, he would come and have a look, and use the inspection light to illuminate them from time to time. , watching with gusto.

It would be a lie to say that Qiu Cen was not secretly happy, but Li Tian's cherishing gesture made him feel a little ashamed.

But Li Tian didn't know it himself, holding the box and looking at it for hours.

"Yeah." Li Tian nodded, still staring at the card in his hand.

Qiu Cen couldn't laugh or cry, walked in from the door, and squatted down next to Li Tian.

"Don't look, I will give you a lot of surprises every year on your birthday, fill this room, and sleep here when you are bored."

He took out the detection light from the box, and shone it on the paper in Li Tian's hand where nothing could be seen.

There are no curtains in the storage room, but the location of the house is relatively remote, and there is only a small window that transmits light, so Qiu Cen can see something under the light like this.

Two small figures sit side by side, with a steaming pot drawn in the middle.

——Brother Li Tian scalded beef for Cen Cen.

Qiu Cen burst out laughing, he was very serious when he drew, but looking at it now, he felt that he was at the same level as the children in the kindergarten in the community.

"Don't look at it," Qiu Cen stretched out his hand to pull it away, "It's so childish."

Li Tian raised his hand abruptly, his eyes finally fell on him, and he said lightly, "It's pretty nice."

"What's so good, I'm sorry..."

"?"

Li Tian's eyes became surprised, as if he wanted to ask you when you are still embarrassed?

Qiu Cen glared at him, and pulled him to stand up, "Let's go, let's go, my mother's meal is almost ready."

He pushed Li Tian, ​​who was still in a daze, out, Li Tian was pushed out before he could cover the iron box, and when he realized it, he arrived at the door.

He woke up suddenly, grabbed the doorknob, and showed a rare tension on his indifferent face.

"..."

Li Tian moved his lips, as if he wanted to say something.

A few days ago, I promised Qiu Cen that I would go to their house for dinner, and by the way... meet his mother.

He thought it was nothing at the time, and nodded in agreement without hesitation, and then left it behind, never thinking about it.

Even if Qiu Cen came here suddenly today, he thought he came to play as usual.

It wasn't until just now that he suddenly remembered this.

My heart felt like it was electrified, my chest was pounding, and my scalp was even a little numb.

Qiu Cen, who was standing next to him, saw his hesitation and nervousness at a glance, his eyes softened, and he touched the back of his neck soothingly - Li Tian usually did this action, trying to lower his voice: "Don't worry , my mother knew about it a long time ago, she has no objection, and she has no objection to you."

Li Tian glanced at him, his eyes, which were always calm and calm, seemed to fall into ripples like a stone fell.

Seeing him like this, Qiu Cen immediately frowned, "How about we..."

"Let's go." Li Tian said.

Then he opened the door and walked out.

Seeing his demeanor, Qiu Cen's heart skipped a beat, as if he had been scratched lightly, itching so badly.

This feeling of seeing someone you care about compromise and make concessions because of yourself is really refreshing, and you feel that you are being flattered and accommodated.

Qiu Cen breathed a sigh of relief, continued to smile, took a few steps to catch up with Li Tian, ​​and followed him downstairs.

As soon as he opened the door, the smell of food came to his nostrils, the TV in the living room was on, and the whole room looked warm and cozy. Li Tian felt like he had suddenly entered a small room full of candles in winter, and there was a perfect life in his dream And the toys that I wanted since I was a child, the whole person is shrouded in an atmosphere called "happiness", and I just want to indulge in it.

Thanks to Queen Song coming out of the kitchen with a plate of dishes, she caught Li Tian's attention and woke him up from his fantasy.

Li Tian took a special look at the contents of the plate and sighed inwardly.

"Ah," Qiu Cen cried out, "Stir-fried pork with bamboo shoots."

It may be that the things in the heart have a certain impact on people's emotions. When Li Tian saw the dishes, he felt lost for no reason.

After the loss, he couldn't help laughing at himself.

Probably because of being with Qiu Cen for a long time, his mind is not normal.

Li Tian turned his head to look at him, and said in a low voice, "Did you eat it when you were young?"

Of course not this one.

Qiu Cen blinked, shook his head, and replied sincerely: "No."

Li Tian raised his eyebrows—really?

Qiu Cen nodded again.

The two looked at each other, and bent their mouths at each other for a long while.

The strange thing was that Tim's heart relaxed strangely. The heartbeat that had been out of balance just now gradually calmed down, and his whole body returned to its usual state.

He didn't know whether Qiu Cen did it on purpose.

The so-called moonlight everywhere, there is only one moon.

Qiu Cen is that one.

Lao Qiu was not at home today, and there were only Qiu Cen, Li Tian, ​​and Song Lili sitting at the table when eating. Li Tian didn't know what to say, or how to respond to Song Lili's questioning when he was caught off guard, but what did she say at the dinner table? Didn't ask any questions, just gave him food and urged him to try everything.

It may be that in his memory, there has never been such a woman looking at him with such concern. Every time Song Lili greeted him warmly, he felt a strange feeling in his heart, like a little beggar who was suddenly cared for.

Perhaps for him, he was flattered at this time.

Li Tian looked at the high-covered food in his bowl and curled the corners of his mouth invisibly.

After the meal, the two helped Song Lili clean up the kitchen and washed the dishes. They had nothing else to do, so they sat in the living room and watched TV.

It is said to be watching TV, but in fact, it is just to put the eyes on it and sit and chat.

Qiu Cen touched Li Tian's arm, and asked with concern, "Are you all right?"

"..."

Li Tian looked at him suspiciously, as if he didn't understand what he was saying.

"Is the food delicious?" Qiu Cen shrugged, changed his words, and looked at him with raised eyebrows.

"..." Li Tian pursed his lips, and originally wanted to say something, but when he saw Song Lili coming out of the bathroom, he had to give him a warning look, and then turned his gaze back.

Song Lili came over with a smile, sat on the small sofa, and gave Qiu Cen a look, "Why don't you pour Li Tian some water?"

Qiu Cen blinked, "He's not thirsty."

Li Tian: "..."

"Auntie, no need, I'm not thirsty."

Song Lili gave Qiu Cen a blank look, then turned to Li Tian, ​​"Are you full? How about I bake some biscuits or something..."

"Hey, don't," Qiu Cen hurriedly interrupted him, "He just runs a dessert shop, so don't play tricks on him."

Song Lili was stunned, ignored her son, but looked at Li Tian in surprise, "Really? Then you must teach me in the future. To be honest, my hands-on ability is quite poor. I have learned to cook. long time."

Li Tian smiled and said politely, "You cook delicious food."

"Oh, where is it?"

After being praised, Song Lili covered her face with astonishing shyness, "Is it really that delicious?"

Li Tian paused, then nodded vigorously, as if afraid that she would not believe it, he repeated: "It's delicious."

Song Lili smiled even more happily.

The three of them chatted for a while, and Qiu Cen interrupted, and Li Tian also got used to it, and the time passed quickly.

In the end, Song Lili was going to take a nap, so she urged Qiu Cen and the two to go out and have fun instead of staying at home.

Qiu Cen chuckled, Xu Xu hugged Song Lili, and left with Li Tian.

Because they were a bit full of food, the two of them didn't go home and planned to take a walk along the street.

It's already May, and the weather is getting hotter. People on the street are wearing thin clothes, and there is a constant stream of people coming and going.

Qiu Cen and Li Tian stood side by side at the crosswalk at the intersection and waited for the green light.

There were quite a lot of people standing with them, and the intersection was narrow, so the two of them were squeezed together, and their tall stature was particularly conspicuous in the crowd.

Qiu Cen touched Li Tian's hand intentionally or unintentionally.

Li Tian hid and turned to look at him, as if asking what's wrong.

Qiu Cen looked at him and suddenly smiled, "It's all right."

It's okay, I just feel happy.

Don't know why.

Probably the lunch at noon was really delicious.

Li Tian was puzzled, looked at him and smiled, and smiled for a long time.

Qiu Cen clicked his tongue, "Why you?"

What are you smirking at?

At this time, the green light turned on, and the people around the two of them walked towards the opposite side of the road one after another. After a while, they all finished walking, and the intersection turned into a red light again, and a car drove past the two of them.

Only the two of them stood at the intersection, staring at each other, motionless.

I don't know how long it took before Qiu Cen moved, coughed, and said in a low voice, "Brother Tian'er...I have something to do."

"What?" Li Tian said.

Qiu Cen was silent, his voice was lower but sincere: "I love you very, very much."

The kind that can't be explained.

I just want to follow Li Tian wholeheartedly, even if I don't say anything, I still feel happy from the inside out.

He used to think that people should not always talk about "love" and "like", that would be too frivolous, but until he saw and met Li Tian, ​​he realized that what he thought before was all wrong.

It's just that I haven't met the person worth talking about.

"..."

Li Tian's eyes trembled visibly after hearing his confession, as if frightened by the sudden words, he suddenly reached out and grabbed Qiu Cen's arm.

He took a deep breath and wanted to say something, but he didn't know how to speak.

Surrounded by busy traffic, there is a constant stream of pedestrians coming and going.

In a few hours, the moon will come out.

Moonlight everywhere, only one moon.

Qiu Cen is his moon.

Li Tian gradually stood up straight as the heavy burdens that seemed to be on his body were lifted one by one.

After a long time, he looked at Qiu Cen, and the smile on the corner of his mouth gradually enlarged, dyeing the entire indifferent face with circles of soft light.

Li Tian looked into his eyes and said seriously: "I love you very, very much, too."
