Two pots of water

After Da Ben finished his meal, he swung his phone back, and when he looked up, he saw Jiang Chu, who was sleeping with his legs on the table, nestled in a swivel chair and covered with a magazine.

"Ouch, I..." He pushed out a full belch that was about to come out from his nostrils, "Am I crazy or are you really here?"

Jiang Chu shook his foot, indicating that it was true.

Da ran over to pick up the magazine to have a look, then covered it back for him.

"Didn't you go to find Tan Zui?" He sat down opposite and asked, "What's the situation with him, why was he hospitalized?"

Jiang Chu must have had an unpleasant trip this time, so he lay there without speaking for a long time.

Da Ben turned his face and saw Tan Zui's caller ID on the screen of Jiang Chu's mobile phone, but it was muted, only the screen was silent.

"Your brother's phone number flashed several times." He poked Jiang Chu's calf, "Shall I answer it for you?"

"No need." Jiang Chu let out a muffled sound from under the magazine.

"It's really rare." Da Ben smiled, and picked up a cup for Jiang Chu when he went to make tea, and didn't ask any more questions.

If Jiang Chu had something to do, he would have to ask about it even after he had smashed the casserole.

The younger brother Ren and his family were having a temper tantrum, and it was as if Baoli and his brother were fighting.

If the front teeth are knocked out, it is not up to outsiders to point fingers.

Jiang Chu stayed in the company for a whole noon, and did not leave when it was time to get off work in the afternoon. He worked on the computer until 09:30 to draw pictures.

If it wasn't for the sudden surge of hunger, he would sit in the middle of the night without wanting to move.

Feeling the tightness in his stomach, Jiang Chu leaned back into the swivel chair, lit a cigarette and looked at the dark company.

Should be hungry too.

He ran around all day and didn't eat anything, and he was so angry that he couldn't think of being hungry at noon, and it would be unreasonable not to be hungry now.

When he came out of the company, Jiang Chu pressed the phone, but the battery was dead.

After returning home at noon, more than half of the electricity was still charged, and it flickered in the corner of my eye all afternoon, and it was exhausted abruptly.

I don't know how many calls were made.

Jiang Chu didn't eat out, he really didn't want to talk to anyone today.

When he got home, he charged his phone first. He turned it on and ordered a roasted duck rice. Missed calls and WeChat messages popped up one by one on the top of the screen.

He had finished ordering takeaway and was about to take a shower, and the news hadn't finished yet.

For a whole day and night, Jiang Chu didn't click on Kai Tan's last message.

It's not that I'm still angry, it's not that I don't want to watch it on purpose, it's that I don't want to watch it.

Not interesting.

He is like a mental patient whose familiar life has undergone sudden changes, even self-denial and reshaping, and then he has been squeezed in various negative emotions for a long time, trying to maintain his strength, but suddenly broke out.

Everything becomes very boring in an instant.

It makes people question whether their persistence is meaningless at all.

When it was time to go to bed at night, Jiang Chu rarely felt a little insomnia.

——It's really rare, Jiang Chu is not to mention anything else, he has always been strong in sleeping.

He drank, vomited, and took a cold shower before, but it didn't prevent him from falling into a deep sleep.In the end, it was Tan Zui who was woken up by the scalding and found out that he had a fever.

The last time I had serious insomnia, it seems that I have to fall back to Qin Gaozuo's third birthday.

It was the first time Jiang Chu clearly noticed his impulse towards Qin Zui that day.

At that time, Tan Zui was staying up late next door to review, and he was in bed in the middle of the night, nervous, confused and didn't know what drama to watch, and he didn't fall asleep until morning.

Looking back on the feeling at that moment now, Jiang Chu still finds it amazing.

Still a little disappointed.

When Qin Zui said to think about it, he was in a mess, being stared at by his mother flustered, and he couldn't tell whether he was hesitating.

Because at that time his assumption was forward.

——If the time goes back to the day when Jiang Liantian asked him to pick up Jiang Chu, knowing in advance what kind of relationship they will develop later, Jiang Chu doesn't know if he will make the same decision again.

He doesn't know until now.

But today, at a certain moment, he felt real hesitation.

——The hesitation in the future.

He wasn't sure if he really wanted to continue like this.

Jiang Chu closed his eyes and sighed.

Part of the reason for hesitating to move forward is that Tan Zui is still too young.

He hesitated in the future because Qin Zui was really too young.

When I was about to go to work the next morning, a courier delivery boy came out of the elevator.

Jiang Chu waited for him to go out first, glanced at him by the way, and saw that he just stopped at the door of the house counting the house number.

"Is it from 403?" Jiang Chu pressed the elevator door and asked.

"Ah, yes." The courier boy hurriedly turned around to match his name, "Is it Jiang Chu?"

"Yes." Jiang Chu nodded and walked over, feeling a little puzzled at the same time.

He hasn't bought anything lately, and he hasn't heard of anyone sending him anything.

The courier brother handed over the form and pen for him to sign.

Jiang Chu thanked him, and took a look at the size of the courier first.

It's a pretty big bag, so it shouldn't be anything hard.

He took a closer look at the sender and address, it was Qin Zui.

Jiang Chu paused while holding the pen, knowing everything in his mind.

Zhou Teng heard Jiang Chu talking outside the door, and kept squatting in the entrance.

When Jiang Chu opened the door and entered the house with the courier in hand, he leaned over and sniffed the courier bag with his neck held high.

"What do you smell, and you can't eat it." Jiang Chu flicked it on the nose.

He didn't enter the house, and directly tore the bag on the porch cabinet.

Inside was a paper bag first, Jiang Chu didn't pay attention, and a big hole was torn open along with the bag.

The paper bag really contained the coat he had left in Tan Zui's bedroom yesterday.

Jiang Chu tore off two broken bags, ball, ball, and prepared to go down to the basement and throw them away.

Just as he turned around to open the door, his cell phone turned on, and Tan Zui called again.

Zhou Teng tilted his neck to look at Jiang Chu, and Jiang Chu looked down at the phone.

After looking at it for two seconds, he withdrew his hand and swiped to answer.

"Brother?" Qin Zui called out almost as soon as he got connected.

His throat was torn even worse than when we met yesterday.

Jiang Chu frowned, almost didn't recognize it, and subconsciously felt that his throat was also uncomfortable.

"Brother, can you hear me?" Tan Zui asked again, as if he didn't dare to speak without hearing Jiang Chu's response, "Brother?"

"Yes, yes." Jiang Chu had no choice but to answer, leaning on the cabinet and flipping through his coat a few times.

"Brother" came and "Brother" went.

"I saw that the courier has been signed for, so I'll call you and ask." Tan most obviously breathed a sigh of relief.

He was a little cautious in this tone, and also tentatively said: "Brother, you left in a hurry yesterday, and you forgot your clothes."

"Received." Jiang Chu agreed.

After a pause, he still said: "You should find a hospital some time, it's not a problem to get angry all the time."

"Brother, I said the wrong thing yesterday." Qin Zui heard that his attitude softened, and he didn't pick up whether to go to the hospital, and immediately speeded up his speech to show his goodwill to him.

Halfway through the speech, he cautiously stopped to feel Jiang Chu's attitude, fearing that Jiang Chu would get angry again when he heard this: "Brother, did you see the WeChat message I sent you?"

Jiang Chu didn't even look at it.

From yesterday to now, he only looked at his phone for a while when ordering roast duck rice.

"Understood, you go to class." He didn't know what to say to Tan Zui, and he didn't bother to think about it, "I'll talk about other things later."

"Brother..." Tan Zui called him again, wanting to say something else.

"Hang up." Jiang Chu glanced at the time and interrupted him, "I'm going to be late to go out."

Talking about letting Tan Zui hang up, before Tan Zui could say anything else, Jiang Chu had already ended the call.

People, sometimes they seem to be really made of rubber.

On the way to the company by car, Jiang Chu suddenly thought of it.

When the pressure suddenly rushes to the forehead, you can't help but think about it, and your instinct will go up first.

To resist, to support, to bounce back with the same strength.

But when it was really pressed to the bottom, all of a sudden, it was numb.

At this time, no matter whether it is a snowflake or a mountain, it all becomes the same thing.

Starting from Xia Tian's mother's sharp glance, trying to deal with each other to get angry, mother wants to drive Qin Zui away, quarreled with Jiang Liantian, ran a red light, quarreled with Tan Zui, separated from Tan Zui, dealt with Qianqian, and talked to my mother After a thorough chat, Qin had a toothache, and had another quarrel...

Jiang Chu didn't know if he could do the phrase "stand at thirty".

But this year, when he is about to turn 30, his life is indeed unprecedented.

And it's not over yet.

Qin Zui's phone number changed back to one per day.

Sometimes there are more than one, Jiang Chu will pick up when he sees it, and hang up after saying a few words.

If he didn't pick it up and missed it, he didn't give Qin the most answer.

Tan Zui didn't know whether it was because he broke the jar, or if he gradually got used to it. Whether Jiang Chuai picked it up or not, he should beat him every day.

You have to send a WeChat message after typing.

When I think of it, I send it, saying "brother" one by one, and talking nonsense.

Whenever I met a bald dog on the road, I had to take a picture of it and send it to him.

Qin Zui: brother

Qin Zui: Look at the puppy

Jiang Chu took a look and thought, haven't I seen a dog yet?

Still a puppy, so old that his teeth are gone.

He didn't reply to Tan Zui's puppy, and casually changed Tan Zui's wechat note to "Puppy".

After 2 minutes of editing, Tan Zui sent another photo with a "buzz".

This time, I took a picture of two pairs of underwear, the corners of which were laid flat on the pillow.

Jiang Chu squinted his eyes for a while before remembering that these were the two that Tan most shamelessly snatched from him last year.

"Puppy" was changed to "Mad Dog" again.

After summer and autumn had passed so frantically, with the first heavy snow this year, Jiang Liantian and Tan Shuman called Jiang Chu and took him to see Tan Zui's house.

"How about it, huh? The real estate here is much better than yours." Jiang Liantian raised his eyebrows at Jiang Chu.

Jiang Chu smiled lightly.

The location is really good, the king of the building, the orientation is very good, the room number chosen by Qin Shuman, 9013, is Qin Zui's birthday.

I have never seen her be a good mother, and Jiang Chu was a little surprised when she suddenly cared so much.

At the same time, he remembered his mother's phrase "Why did you open your mouth to his mother".

"I originally thought that Qin Zui was not in a hurry to live in a small apartment when he went to school." Tan Shuman explained softly beside him, "Your father said that since you want to buy it, you can do it in one step..."

"That's right." Jiang Liantian took the words with a smile.

"Go back and ask Tan what kind of decoration he likes the most," he turned his head and told Jiang Chu, "I'll fix it for him, and it won't matter if I just get married here in the future."

Jiang Chu was strolling slowly to the kitchen, when he heard the word "marriage", he stopped by the door for a while.

Whether it's true or not, Jiang Chu, the stepfather, has shown 120 points of concern for his stepson when it comes to buying a house.

So did Jiang Chu.

No matter how he feels in his heart, he has to smile and watch them plan a "marriage room" for Tan Zui in front of the air.

After having dinner with the two of them again, Jiang Chu braved the snow and returned home, without even changing his shoes, the phone vibrated.

It is estimated that Qin is the one who pats him the most.

Jiang Chu went to change clothes, drank a glass of water, and turned on the TV before pushing Zhou Teng away and lying on the sofa.

He clicked into WeChat, and the sound just now wasn't from Tan Zui, it was a friend request.

There are only five words in the verification column: Brother, I am Kang Che

Jiang Chu clicked on Pass, and I don't know why this kid suddenly came to add him.

He slipped on Kancher's circle of friends by the way.

Kang Che looked at a very stylish person, but he had a lot of postings in Moments, and he couldn't finish it after several times.

Kang Che: Brother, there is something I don’t know if you know, I just found out, I think you should know

Kang Che's message was sent very quickly, Jiang Chu opened it, and was almost dazzled by the bunch of "know".

Jiang Chu: Hospitalized again?

Kang Che first sent him an emoji of begging for mercy on his knees, without much nonsense, he only replied with a message and didn't say anything else.

But Jiang Chu was stunned at a glance.

Kang Che: On National Day, Qin went back to spend a day
