The Third Rose

Because Mi Sheng's mother was treated in time and her condition was well controlled, she was taken home by Mi Jie to recuperate after a week of hospitalization.On the day of parting, Mi Jie went to find Chen Xingze alone again.

Chen Xingze seemed to be facing an enemy, Mi Jie said: "My brother, please take care of it for the time being, at least he can see his arm."

After she finished speaking and left, Chen Xingze was stunned, and asked her leaving back: "You still care about him, right?"

Mi Jie went on.

Chen Xingze shouted again: "If you have time, keep in touch!"

Mi Jie: "..."

Mi Sheng also dismissed Aunt Wang, and since his mother was away, he didn't need a nurse anymore.Aunt Wang blamed herself for the injury of Mi Sheng's mother, and insisted on refunding two months' wages, but Mi Sheng still gave it to her.

After Chen Xingze separated from Mi Jie, he went back to the ward to find Mi Sheng, who was sorting out his mother's remaining hospital supplies.

Chen Xingze went over to help, "You rest, I'll do it."

He packed the pots, pans, bowls, blankets and quilts together, and got up to wipe his sweat.Turning his head, he saw Mi Sheng bending over to pack the clothes left by his mother.Now in the midsummer of July, Mi Sheng only wears a thin half-sleeved shirt, and the ribs printed on the shirt can be seen from the back.

Chen Xingze frowned automatically, went over to pull it up for him, and sighed before saying anything.

"What's wrong?" Mi Sheng was not only thin, but also weak in speaking. "I can fold clothes with one hand."

Chen Xingze said: "I'll go back to school to clean up later, you go home first, and have dinner with me at night."

Mi Sheng: "Okay, what do you want to eat, I'll go buy it first."

Chen Xingze: "No, I'll buy it, you wait at home and I don't want to go out." He was afraid that it would be windy outside, so he would blow Mi Sheng into the Huangpu River.

Chen Xingze took the bus back to school. On the way, he used his mobile phone to search for "what to do if you are too thin". Doctors on the Internet said that thinness is due to insufficient function of the spleen and stomach. You should pay attention to a variety of diets, take care of your body step by step, and exercise more on weekdays. The most important thing is to ensure your mental health. Physical and mental pleasure.

Chen Xingze looked at the words "pleasure of body and mind" and found it very difficult.

In the past few days, all majors in the school have been on vacation one after another, and people with suitcases ready to go home can be seen everywhere on campus.Chen Xingze walked towards the dormitory building, and received a call from Wu Xingzhi halfway.

"How are your activities going?"

Chen Xingze told his family that the reason for not going back during the summer vacation was to participate in club activities.

"It's okay."

"Are you busy?"

Chen Xingze smiled and said, "If you have anything to say, just say it."

"Do you remember Aunt Zhang? The flute player in our group."

"remember."

"I just found out today that his son is also gay!"

Chen Xingze walked upstairs, "Well, it seems that artists are easy to be gay."

"you shut up!"

Chen Xingze laughed.

"His son is Zhao Yu, who is three years younger than you. You saw him when you were young, do you have any impression?"

"The name sounds familiar, but people can't remember it."

"Oh, I saw the photo, it looks so clean."

"..."

"He also passed the exam in Shanghai this year. If you spare some time, I will arrange for you to meet and see if it suits you."

Chen Xingze felt that the direction of the conversation was getting more and more biased, "Mom, calm down, I'm still studying."

"So what, you should study in high school, don't you also talk about love all day long? Zhao Yu is shy and has never traveled far. Your Aunt Zhang saw a report on the AIDS group of college students, and she was afraid He was duped by dubious people."

"So you cashed it out for me?"

"How do you talk? He's in very good condition, so I'll let you know if he's interested in you. That's it. I'll give you his contact information later, and you should behave well. By the way, he looks very similar to You Xiaolin." .”

After finishing speaking, he hung up the phone.

Chen Xingze pinched his phone, thinking over Wu Xingzhi's last words.

"When did you find out..."

Zhao Yu's photo was sent quickly, and it was indeed as Wu Xingzhi said, he was a handsome boy, fair and clean, exactly like Chen Xingze.

Chen Xingze sat on the bed in the dormitory and admired it for a while, then started to organize the daily necessities.In summer, he packed lightly, and Chen Xingze only packed a backpack and set off.He was the last to leave the bed. Before he left, he checked the doors, windows, and water gates carefully, cleaned up all the garbage, and then locked the door and left.

Chen Xingze searched a few recipes on his phone, and then went to the market to buy ingredients.

Unlike the busy Chen Xingze, Mi Sheng lay in bed all afternoon in a daze. He didn't eat a mouthful of food, didn't drink a mouthful of water, and didn't go to the bathroom once. He just lay on the bed and looked at the sky outside. Yellow to red.During the period, Wei Kang called twice, but he did not answer.

He didn't want to do anything other than wait for Chen Xingze.

At dusk, Mi Sheng, who had been sluggish in bed for several hours, suddenly moved his ears, opened his eyes, went down to the ground, and when he reached the door, the door was just knocked.

Mi Sheng opened the door, and Chen Xingze stood outside with large and small bags, his face was tanned red.

"What did you buy, so many bags."

"Vegetables, meat and fish, etc., I will cook later."

"can you cook?"

"I searched for recipes."

Chen Xingze was full of enthusiasm. He had fantasized about living with his boyfriend in the future when he was very young, but only You Xiaolin and Lu Hao appeared in his fantasy. He never thought that the first time he experienced this kind of experience would be with Mi Sheng together.

This made Chen Xingze lament the wonders of the world.

When Chen Xingze was busy in the kitchen, Mi Sheng obediently stood by and watched. He had a plaster cast on his left hand, which was very inconvenient, but he always wanted to help.From the corner of his eye, Chen Xingze saw him washing vegetables with one hand, and gradually he stopped handling the catfish in his hand.Mi Sheng's hair is long and goes behind his ears, but now his head is slightly bowed, a few strands of hair fall down, and his eyes are half-opened, giving off a quiet and haggard beauty.

Chen Xingze slowly raised his hand, brushing away the strands of hair.Mi Sheng was concentrating on washing vegetables, but when he was touched, he shrank back, like a mimosa frightened.Chen Xingze pursed his lips and smiled, and Mi Sheng said in a low voice, "...don't scare me when you get your fish."

"You are much more fun than fish."

Mi Sheng shook his head helplessly, Chen Xingze felt inexplicably in a good mood, and his subordinates speeded up.

"Aren't there too many dishes, let's cook a few less."

"It's okay, it's not much."

This was Chen Xingze's first formal cooking, and he worked hard for more than two hours with the vigor of preparing a full banquet.

There were so many plates that the little table could barely fit.Chen Xingze asked Mi Sheng to eat first, Mi Sheng praised him for his good cooking skills, and Chen Xingze ate the rice contentedly.He ate much faster than Mi Sheng. Mi Sheng had already eaten a bowl of rice and only took a few mouthfuls.

"Why are you like a cat, eating so little?"

Mi Sheng held his chopsticks and said, "I eat more than cats."

Chen Xingze: "The conversion rate isn't good, look how lively the cat is, and look at your tiny bones, I dare not touch you for fear of breaking it."

"It can't be broken." He looked at Chen Xingze, "Do you want to touch it?"

After all, Mi Sheng has practiced for many years. He knows himself very well, what tone to use to speak, and what angle to look at people to achieve the best results.Many times it seems to be an understatement, but it is actually a hidden mystery.

Chen Xingze, this little idiot, really got the trick. He blushed like a monkey's buttocks, he hesitated and said, "What, what... Don't be kidding, eat something quickly."

Chen Xingze buried his head in his meal and raised his eyes secretly. There was nothing unusual about Mi Sheng.

After dinner, Chen Xingze Lamy Sheng went out for a walk, and the two walked around the neighborhood twice. When they passed a building, Chen Xingze pulled Mi Sheng to stop.

"listen."

Mi Sheng raised his head, followed the voice to look at one place, and murmured, "Is it Erhu?"

"Jinghu."

"Like an opera."

"Yes, the sound of Jinghu is sharper than that of Erhu. It is generally used to accompany Peking Opera, while Erhu is softer."

"Can you play the erhu?"

"A little bit. Do you like erhu? If you like it, I will practice it. I can learn musical instruments very quickly."

"I don't like it either..."

Mi Sheng's voice became smaller and smaller, Chen Xingze turned to look at him, "Are you tired? Let's go back."

When he got home, Chen Xingze went to clean the bathroom, and when he came out, Mi Sheng fell asleep on the sofa.Chen Xingze squatted beside him, touched him lightly, "Take a bath, you are sweating too much, it's very uncomfortable." Mi Sheng half opened his eyes, saw Chen Xingze, dazed, he touched it as if unsure He touched Chen Xingze's face, then put his right arm around his neck.

The sudden intimacy made Chen Xingze a little at a loss. "What's the matter? Get up and take a shower." Mi Sheng didn't speak, but wrapped around him more and more, buried his face in his chest, and couldn't see his expression.Chen Xingze smiled and said, "It's a little itchy." He stretched out his hands under Mi Sheng's body, "Hold him tightly." Feeling the hand on his neck was exerting force, Chen Xingze embraced Mi Sheng's body and hugged him.

In this way, he carried Mi Sheng into the bathroom and put him in a clean bathtub.Chen Xingze: "Can you take a bath by yourself? Don't let your arms touch the water."

Mi Sheng didn't speak, and started to undress.He was really too thin and pale, almost to a sickly degree.Mi Sheng took off halfway and stopped, looked at Chen Xingze and said, "Help me take it off."

Chen Xingze blinked, "Ah... oh."

He helped Mi Sheng take off his shirt, and Mi Sheng twisted and knelt in the bathtub, waiting for him to untie his pants.Chen Xingze undid the buttons, put his hands on the chains of his trousers, and curled up again.

"I... I'd better wait outside for you."

He didn't dare to look at Mi Sheng, turned his head and walked away.

Chen Xingze returned to the room, closed the door, and took a deep breath.His heart was pounding, his cheeks were hot, and he felt that living by Mi Sheng's side was really a test.

At night Chen Xingze slept in Mi Sheng's mother's room. He had always had a good sleep quality and never woke up until dawn, but today his thoughts were complicated and his sleep was lighter than before.He woke up once in the middle of the night, heard movement outside, went out quietly, and found the bathroom door was open, and there was painful retching inside.

Chen Xingze realized what had happened, went in quickly, and saw Mi Sheng holding the toilet and throwing up.

"Why did you vomit? Are you uncomfortable?" Chen Xingze went over to pat Mi Sheng on the back, Mi Sheng vomited until his eyes turned red, and Chen Xingze saw that the toilet was full of the food he cooked at night. "Did I do something wrong?" Mi Sheng shook his head, "...No, I ate too much, you go to sleep."

"How can I sleep here?" Chen Xingze served Mi Sheng hot water, "Do you have stomach medicine at home?"

"It'll be fine in a while."

Chen Xingze frowned, and helped Mi Sheng back to the room after vomiting.Seeing his appearance, Mi Sheng comforted him: "Why are you nervous, you said it's all right, go to sleep."

Chen Xingze: "I'll accompany you for a while."

Mi Sheng paused for a moment, lay down on the bed without speaking.

The room was dark, and Mi Sheng remained motionless, with his back to Chen Xingze.After a while he said, "Come up and sleep."

Chen Xingze didn't speak.

Mi Sheng whispered: "Come up and accompany me."

Chen Xingze's palms were hot, he went to bed and lay beside Mi Sheng.In the darkness, both of them breathed lightly.After a while, Chen Xingze heard the sound of Mi Sheng turning over, and he leaned towards himself.Chen Xingze's body tensed, and he opened his eyes wide in the darkness.Mi Sheng raised his head slightly, and his lips touched Chen Xingze's shoulder.

"Little devil..."

Chen Xingze closed his eyes tightly, turned around, and embraced Mi Sheng in his arms.
