The Third Rose

Later, Mi Sheng found Chen Xingze and asked him, "Where are you standing there pretending to be a goalkeeper?"

Chen Xingze didn't speak, Mi Sheng felt that something was wrong with him, and asked, "What's wrong?"

Chen Xingze shook his head, "It's okay." Mi Sheng turned off the fire, turned on the steamer, and the heat was boiling.He used a wet towel to hold the plate between his hands, but was stopped by Chen Xingze, "Wait for the steam to dissipate."

Mi Sheng's slender wrist seemed to struggle a bit, but the strength was so small that nothing happened.

The kitchen was quiet. Half a minute later, Chen Xingze took the towel from Mi Sheng and brought out the plate.The two came to the table in the living room in silence. "Oh, chopsticks..." After sitting down, Mi Sheng realized that there was no tableware, and was about to get up when Chen Xingze pinned him down again, "I'll get it."

Mi Sheng sat where he was, watching Chen Xingze enter the kitchen. Under the table, he squeezed the place Chen Xingze had just touched with his palm.

Chen Xingze brought two sets of tableware, and Mi Sheng said, "I'm not hungry, you should eat first."

Chen Xingze took a sip, and Mi Sheng looked cautious, until Chen Xingze exclaimed, "This is so delicious", he was relieved, and turned his head to look out the window.

Chen Xingze ate madly, "Which restaurant is this takeaway?"

Mi Sheng said lightly: "Forgot."

"forget?"

"Ah."

Chen Xingze raised his head, Mi Sheng twisted his body and looked outside, his posture was like a lone crane looking back.

Originally, Chen Xingze wasn't very hungry, but the meal was so delicious and the atmosphere was too lazy, he took one bite after another, and before he knew it, there was only a small piece left.Mi Sheng has been very quiet during this period.The imprint of the sun shifted from the table to the corner of the table, and the color became thicker, but the two who had been in the environment did not seem to feel the change of time at all.

"Take two bites too."

"I told you I wasn't hungry."

"I'm dying..."

Mi Sheng turned his head and saw that Chen Xingze was half lying on the table, three-quarters of the eight-treasure rice on the plate had been eaten.Chen Xingze was very polite when eating. He divided the food into his own bowls before eating, leaving a small piece of eight-treasure rice neatly on the plate.

"Help me."

Mi Sheng put the plate in front of Chen Xingze's eyes asking for help. He picked up the chopsticks and said in a low voice, "I can't eat when you look at me like this."

Chen Xingze chuckled twice, "Then I'll go clean the kitchen."

He readily went to the kitchen to wash the pot.Mi Sheng put the remaining eight-treasure rice into his mouth bit by bit.He eats very little, and such a small piece is enough to feed him.Sitting in the chair, the feeling of fullness made him feel very at ease. Coupled with the sound of washing and rinsing in the kitchen, Mi Sheng actually had the illusion that he had lived like this for a long time.

The ringtone of the mobile phone brought him back to reality, Wei Kang called and said that he would come over later to pick up clothing samples.

"I'll be there in half an hour."

Mi Sheng hung up the phone, was stunned for two seconds, and then woke up suddenly.He came to the door of the kitchen. Chen Xingze had just finished tidying up the kitchen table and was admiring the fruits of his labor. Mi Sheng said, "You go."

Chen Xingze turned around, "What?"

"Let you go."

Chen Xingze didn't understand what was going on.

Mi Sheng beat him to death and did not want Song Boyang's people to meet Chen Xingze, so he grabbed Chen Xingze's arm and pulled it out. "I called you here to solve the takeaway, now hurry up and leave after eating."

But Chen Xingze's physique cannot be shaken so easily, he turned against Rami Sheng. "What's the matter, what happened, didn't you be fine just now?"

Mi Sheng was in a hurry, "I told you to go, do you hear that! Can't children understand what adults say!"

Chen Xingze frowned.

"What did you say?"

Mi Sheng gritted his teeth, and said indifferently: "Anyway, hurry up, I still have work later."

The air remained frozen for five seconds, and then Chen Xingze nodded, "Okay, I see." He walked past Mi Sheng and went to the room to get his schoolbag.When Mi Sheng heard the sound of the door being opened in the kitchen, he realized that he took out a box of small cakes from the refrigerator.

Chen Xingze was changing his shoes when a cool cake box suddenly appeared next to his ear.

"Bought too much takeaway again?"

"Ah."

"You stay and eat by yourself, you didn't eat much of the eight-treasure rice just now." Chen Xingze put on his shoes and straightened up, "I'm leaving."

"Little devil." Mi Sheng called him, "Are you angry?"

Chen Xingze turned his back to Mi Sheng and did not answer for a while.

Mi Sheng softened his tone and said, "I really have a job, and later——"

"I cleaned your room just now." Chen Xingze suddenly interrupted Mi Sheng, "As a stylist, you throw your clothes everywhere."

Mi Sheng didn't know what this had to do with what they just discussed.

Chen Xingze said: "I've already cleaned it up for you, and put it all in the closet."

"……Oh, thanks."

"I saw a sorted dress in the closet."

"what?"

"It's ironed without any creases, it's clean, and it's better than other clothes."

Mi Sheng looked confused, and still didn't understand what Chen Xingze said.

"But it's a bit strange," Chen Xingze turned to look at Mi Sheng, "That dress is obviously very old, it's been spilled with red wine, and the collar is all yellow, why do you still keep it like that?"

Mi Sheng finally understood what he meant, and all of a sudden, thunder and lightning flashed in his heart, and a strong wind blew up.Someone forcibly pried open the sky and earth net he had arranged, and entered the dream he wove for himself.

Looking at Mi Sheng who was so guarded, Chen Xingze's attitude was very relaxed, and he chatted about other things.

"Do you know "Brokeback Mountain"?"

"……what?"

"A gay movie, have you seen it?"

"Seen."

"At the end of that movie, Ennis took Jack's clothes home and kept them."

Mi Sheng was in a state of confusion.

"What do you mean?"

"It's nothing interesting, just a sudden thought, do you like that movie?"

"No gay would hate "Brokeback Mountain"."

Chen Xingze smiled.

"Well, then I'm leaving."

Mi Sheng felt lucky that Chen Xingze didn't ask about the dress.

When Chen Xingze left the house, Mi Sheng didn't close the door right away. He watched at the door. Chen Xingze walked down half a flight of stairs, turned around, raised his head and said to Mi Sheng, "Did you know that I bought the DVD of "Brokeback Mountain" when I was young?" .”

"Is it……"

"um. Thank you."

"Thanks for what?"

Chen Xingze didn't explain too much, "You still have work, I'll leave first, remember to find me when you're not busy."

Chen Xingze left Mi Sheng's house, went out of the unit door, and stood there for a while.

In fact, just now he really wanted to ask Mi Sheng whether it was because he said the dress was beautiful that Mi Sheng kept it until now.For some reason, he always felt that the answer was yes.

Chen Xingze took a deep breath. The trees in the community were lush and lush, and the air was filled with the fragrance of green grass.

Even though Mi Sheng's reason for keeping this dress was different from the plot in "Brokeback Mountain", Chen Xingze still felt comforted by himself in a distant time and space for a short time.

At the gate of the community, Chen Xingze passed by a black car.

When Wei Kang came to Mi Sheng's house, Mi Sheng was still immersed in Chen Xingze's affairs.He went inside and dug out the old shirt.When he knew that the clothes couldn't be washed, he threw them away, but in the end, he didn't know what kind of mentality he had, so he picked them up again, cleaned them up and hung them in the closet.Later, I slowly forgot about it, and unexpectedly, Chen Xingze saw it.

Mi Sheng remembered that Chen Xingze should have seen this dress when he was heating up the meal just now, so what kind of mentality did he have when he came to the kitchen door...

Thinking about it, Mi Sheng's face became a little hot.

Wei Kang had a tight schedule and came and went like the wind, so he took his clothes and left.Before he left, he left a message for Mi Sheng, "Song Boyang may be looking for you on weekends, remember to spare time."

Mi Sheng didn't care about them at all, so he responded, "Got it."

After Wei Kang left, Mi Sheng put on the old shirt, tried it on in front of the mirror as a brand new one, and lay down on the bed wearing it when he had tried enough.The room was cleaned very clean, the quilt was folded, and Mi Sheng fell into the soft pillow, turning his body gently like a comfortable cat.

Mi Sheng was drowsy and lay down until the sun went down, and was finally woken up by a phone call.Mi Sheng originally thought it was Wei Kang calling, but took the phone and found it was Aunt Wang.Mi Sheng was a little strange. He answered the phone, and after listening to two or three sentences, his face changed suddenly, and he sat up from the bed.

The sudden movement caused insufficient blood supply to his brain, and he was spinning for a while. He also fell when he got off the ground, and his elbow hit the chair hard, but he could no longer feel the pain.

Mi Sheng panicked, took a coat casually, put it on and ran out of the house.He wanted to hail a taxi, but it was rush hour and there were very few empty cars on the road.Looking at the intersection, Mi Sheng trembled uncontrollably. He couldn't get a taxi after waiting for two traffic lights, so he cried out in anxiety.

When Chen Xingze returned to school in the afternoon, he had caught up with the last two classes, and was taught by Shi Kai after the class.

"The teacher asked all the questions, and I almost passed through! Thanks to my quick reaction!"

"Good brother, don't say anything, I'll treat you to dinner tonight." Chen Xingze put his arms around Shi Kai's shoulders, and Lu Xiaofei beside him sighed, "Brother, heh, brother..." Shi Kai secretly glared at Lu Xiaofei, Chen Xingze was so nervous Pay attention, and also pulled Lu Xiaofei, "Let's go together, you choose what to eat."

After class, they went back to the dormitory to rest for a while. When the sun went down, the three of them went out for dinner. Shi Kai chose a high-end Japanese grocery store not far from the Conservatory of Music.

"I have pity on my pocket." Chen Xingze cried exaggeratedly, "I thought it would be fine to eat two bowls of plain noodles."

"Where are you feeding the chicken?" Shi Kai held the menu to order, flipping through the pages without haste. "Oh, there are fresh geoduck sashimi, and top-quality Wagyu."

Chen Xingze knew that he was telling him to listen to him on purpose, so he cooperated with begging for forgiveness.At this time the phone rang, he took out his phone with a smile, and saw that it was Mi Sheng's call.

"Hey?"

Mi Sheng should be outside, but Chen Xingze heard a lot of noise from his mobile phone, howling wind, car horns, and small electric motorcycles chug past.

"Mi Sheng? Hello?"

He called out a few times, Shi Kai and Lu Xiaofei looked over at the same time, and saw Chen Xingze frowning, and then his eyes widened suddenly when he heard something.

"Where are you now? Okay, you wait for me, I'll go with you. Wait for me, you must wait until I hear you!" Chen Xingze has always been gentle, and rarely speaks to others in such a tone.

Chen Xingze hung up the phone, and Shi Kai put down the menu.

"What's wrong? What happened?"

With a serious expression, Chen Xingze took out a credit card from his wallet and put it on the table.

"I have something to eat first." After speaking, he left in a hurry.
