Chapter 23

Whether time flies fast or slow, in the blink of an eye, Xiaonian arrives.

Xiaonian, logically speaking, is also a day when thousands of families get together and eat together.

Xie Shuyi and Jing Luo, two lonely people, made up a couple and went to the old lady's house to have a reunion dinner that couldn't make up a table.

Young people in the north still have to eat dumplings.

As noon approached, Jing Luo packed up and went out with a letter of thanks.

"Xie Shuyi," Jing Luo stood at the top of the stairs and shouted up, "What are you dawdling about, let's go!"

"Here we come!" Xie Shu also responded and walked down, rubbing his eyes as he walked.

After stepping down the last step, Xie Shu also put down his hand.

The sun was very strong at noon, shining on Xie Shuyi's face like a camera's flash, making people unable to open their eyes.

Xie Shu also tilted his head slightly, looked at Jing Luo with half-closed eyes, and said, "Let's go."

Jing Luo didn't say anything, didn't move, he frowned, looked at Xie Shu and asked, "What's wrong with your eyes?"

Xie Shu was also puzzled, rubbed his eyes, "What?"

"Your eyes."

"Oh..." Xie Shuyi put down his hands and said, "It's okay, I stayed up all night last night, and my eyes were a little irritated, it will be fine when I come back later."

"..."

On the way, Xie Shuyi still rubbed his eyes with his hands from time to time.

Seeing that his eyes were a little red, Jing Luo asked worriedly, "Are you all right?"

"It's okay," Xie Shu also smiled, "I'm used to it."

"you……"

Jing Luo said "you" for a long time without you saying anything, and after a long time, he uttered four words stiffly, "Pay attention to rest."

When we arrived at the old lady's house, the meal was almost ready, so Jing Luo went to help prepare the last few dishes.

Xie Shuyi wanted to go to help too, but was pressed down by Jing Luo on the sofa and closed his eyes with peace of mind.

He sighed, closed his eyes and lay back on the sofa. His eyes were still a little sore, but they were indeed much better than when he woke up in the morning.

"Xiao Jing," the old lady was turning over the vegetables in the pot with a shovel in her hand, "you have to lock the door when you go out these few days."

Jing Luo was washing the dishes. Hearing this, he turned off the tap and asked, "What's wrong?"

"A few days ago, old Zhang's house was broken into by thieves," the old lady said, and she glanced at Jing Luo, "How do you think the thief got in?"

Jing Luo: "Over the wall?"

"It's climbing the wall," the old lady continued, "After climbing the wall, he entered through the window on the second floor. I heard that it's a good thing that the old man went out for business that day and didn't take a nap. Tell me, if this happened to happen But anyway, this person is dangerous."

After finishing speaking, the old lady sighed and sighed: "It's a fate, tell me, if a little old man like him meets him and doesn't need others to beat him, won't he faint from fright?"

Jing Luo frowned, "Did the thief catch it?"

"It's so easy to catch," said the old lady. "There are so many people who are celebrating Chinese New Year, and there are also many outsiders. Who can remember who?"

"I've also heard," said the old lady, who wandered the streets all day long, and heard a lot, "The thief is all set in advance, and no one knows who's in the house."

"Step on?"

Jing Luo frowned, somehow, suddenly remembered the strange woman Xie Shuyi saw at the door that day.

Old lady: "It's New Year's Eve, everyone is busy, but the thief has no time to find, it's really hateful."

"Did you hear that?" the old lady told herself, "you have to lock the windows and doors when you go out in the future, and check the window locks when you get home. If it's broken, replace it quickly. It's Chinese New Year, don't make any troubles." matters of the heart."

Jing Luo listened, and remembered the matter in her heart, "Got it."

When Jing Luo went out with the dishes, Xie Shuyi was still leaning back on the sofa with his eyes closed.

He closed his eyes and frowned slightly, looking a little uncomfortable.

Jing Luo gently put down the plate, trying not to make a sound, even though the sound was very soft, Xie Shuyi still opened his eyes.

"All right?"

"Get ready to eat."

Xie Shu also responded, got up and went to the kitchen to serve the dishes.

"Better?" Jing Luo glanced at Xie Shuyi's eyes, not as red as in the morning.

"better."

After lunch and dumplings, the two sat for a while and then went home.

After returning home, Xie Shu also went upstairs to rest his mind.

Jing Luo listened to the old lady and checked the locks on the doors and windows of the house.

don't worry

Boss Jing also deliberately went to the door to check, checked the door, wall, and tree of his house, and found no special symbols before he was relieved.

Back in the room, Jing Luo sat cross-legged on the sofa again, and took out the book from the crack of the sofa.

After turning over the folded page and reading it for about 10 minutes, he closed the book, stuffed it back into the crack of the sofa, and went out with the key.

Before leaving, Jing Luo struggled with whether to lock the door or not.

After struggling for a long time, the door is still not locked

After walking about [-] meters, Boss Jing struggled again.

What if the thief is brave enough to go in without locking the door?

I don't know if the lock on the window in Xie Shuyi's room works well.

He sleeps so deadly that no one can hear him when he enters

"..."

The more she thought about it, the more frightened she became, Jing Luo cursed in her heart, turned around and walked back quickly, and when she reached the door of the house, she still clicked the lock.

Jing Luo felt that she was suffering from persecution paranoia

no he doesn't have

It is he who thanked the letter

Xie Shuyi slept for a long time this time, and it was almost evening when he woke up.

It was getting dark outside, and the north wind was whining against the windows.

Xie Shu also blinked, feeling less uncomfortable.

He has a problem with his eyes. When he stays up late reading or writing manuscripts, he tends to get sore. When he gets sore, he likes to rub his eyes. Whenever he rubs his eyes, his eyes will turn red. Therefore, it is taken for granted that it is considered serious.

But sometimes it is really serious. Most of the time he will drop eye drops, but this time it is unfortunate that he forgot to bring it.

Therefore, you can only rely on sleep to recover.

After waking up, Xie Shu also prepared to go downstairs.

He walked to the door of the room in his slippers, put his hand on the doorknob, twisted it, the door opened, and the doorknob fell off.

"..."

I'm... I've been touched?

Jing Luo was watching TV downstairs, enjoying talking about it, when he raised his head, Xie Shuyi walked towards him with the doorknob in his hand.

"..."

People fight with iron rods

You take the doorknob?

Jing Luo: "Do you want to fight?"

Xie Shu also looked at the doorknob, looked at Jing Luo, and shook his head: "He touched me..."

Jing Luo: "Did you help him?"

Xie Shuyi: "..."

"I can't get out unless I help him."

Jing Luo: "..."

"let me see."

Xie Shu obediently handed it over, not forgetting to say, "He really dropped it, not me."

"……I know."

Jing Luo took the doorknob and looked at it, "It's broken, maybe it's old, so I'll buy one another day and replace it."

Jing Luo threw the doorknob aside, and said casually, "Don't close the door when you sleep these few days, or you won't be able to get out."

Xie Shu also agreed.

"Is your eyes okay?" Boss Jing still missed Xie Shuyi's eyes.

"Thanks to Boss Jing's concern," Xie Shu also smiled, "It's much better."

"Oh……"

The air was quiet for a while, the sky was getting darker, and the sound of crackling firecrackers became louder and louder, and a few fireworks sprang out from time to time.

Jing Luo opened his mouth, and before he could make a sound, Xie Shu also spoke.

"Happy New Year, Jing Luo."

Jing Luo was taken aback for a moment, and then realized that he was talking about a happy new year.

"Happy New Year."

After saying this, Boss Jing patted his ass and went back to the room.

Xie Shuyi: "?"

why did you leave?

Xie Shu was also puzzled, so he could only look helplessly at the door of Jing Luo's room.

After a while, the door opened, Jing Luo looked as usual, and walked towards Xie Shuyi slowly.

"Here," Jing Luo threw the things in his hand to him as he sat down, "New Year's gift."

The New Year's gift drew a perfect arc in the air, and finally Xie Shuyi put it in his hand firmly. He opened his palm and saw that it was a bottle of eye drops.

Xie Shu also smiled, and shook the eye drops at him, "Why did you give me this?"

Jing Luo looked at the TV screen and said absently, "Aren't your eyes hurting..."

Xie Shuyi's heart softened for a while, he squeezed the eyedrops tightly, and said with a smile, "Didn't I say that it would be better after a night of sleep?"

Jing Luo: "Didn't you say that the most effective thing is eye drops?"

Xie Shu also smiled and said, "I don't remember saying that."

Jing Luo: "..."

"Then I misremembered," Jing Luo said, "This is not a question of common sense."

Jing Luo glanced at Xie Shuyi from the corner of his eye, and found that the man was holding eyedrops and his eyes were full of love.

"..."

Jing Luo: "Don't think about it too much, I didn't buy it for you specially, buy one get one free, you got the one for free."

Xie Shu was also silent for a moment, then smiled at Jing Luo: "I don't believe it."

"Give it back to me if you don't believe me."

"My New Year's gift," Xie Shu also refused, "I won't return it."

After finishing speaking, Xie Shuyi unscrewed the eye drops and dropped a drop into his eyes.

I closed my eyes for a while to get used to it, and after a while, Xie Shu also opened his eyes, and the excess eye drops slid down the corners of his eyes like a tear.

Jing Luo glanced unintentionally, just in time to see Xie Shuyi's tears.

isn't it?

Moved to tears?

"Xie Shuyi." Jing Luo was very beautiful in his heart, "No matter how touched you are, you don't have to cry, it's just an eye drop."

Xie Shuyi: "..."

"I didn't cry," Xie Shuyi reached out and wiped the eye drops, "These are tears of happiness."

Jing Luo: "?..."

Xie Shu also smiled, just when he was about to speak again, the phone rang inappropriately.

He glanced at the caller ID and said to Jing Luo, "I'll answer the call."

Xie Shu also took his mobile phone, walked to a place a little further away from Jing Luo, and connected the call.

The firecrackers outside the window are still noisy, and the colorful fireworks are also vying to show themselves.

"Hello? Dad."

"Shu Yi." Xie Zusheng's voice sounded light and light, and he seemed to be drinking, "Dad is happy today."

"What's wrong?" Xie Shu also asked.

Xie Zusheng sighed again, with a little guilt in his tone, "Dad got the certificate with your Aunt Yang today."

"Oh..." Xie Shuyi's voice was very soft, "Congratulations, Dad."

"Book also..." Xie Zusheng's voice was a little choked up, "Father..."

Hearing his voice, Xie Shuyi guessed what he wanted to say, "Dad is fine, don't feel sorry for me," Xie Shuyi smiled, "You are not young anymore, it's good to find a companion, look at me After so many years, Mom has already found a companion."

Xie Zusheng obviously drank, and talked about a lot of things about Xie Shuyi's childhood.

For example: Xie Zusheng beat him up during his rebellious period when he was a child, but it didn’t work

For example: when he and Jiang Yuan just divorced, he often left Xie Shuyi alone at home because of his busy work

Another example: after Xie Shuyi entered the society, the contact with him became less and less, and the relationship between father and son became weaker and weaker.

It can't be said that it is getting weaker and weaker, because it was not very close.

It is said that people who drink too much tend to be emotional. Although Xie Zusheng said it with a smile, his tone was more apologetic.

The reason for his apology is the same as that of Jiang Yuan, because of the relationship between the two of them, he did not give Xie Shuyi a complete home.

I don’t know how many times I have listened to these words of thank you. I still felt a little bit in my heart when I first heard them a few times. After listening to them too many times, my heart became numb and I couldn’t feel any emotions.

Hang up the phone, the sound of firecrackers outside the window is even louder, and countless families should gather together to have a reunion dinner and watch fireworks at this moment.

Xie Shu also looked out the window. At this moment of reunion of thousands of lights, all his family members have new families.

he has no home at all

At some point, Jing Luo walked over, and he and Xie Shu also stood side by side, their profiles reflected on the glass of the window.

Jing Luo looked at the colorful fireworks dancing outside the window, and said with a smile, "Xie Shuyi, this year we two will be together for the Chinese New Year."

"Jing Luo..." Xie Shu also looked at his side face in the window, and said slowly, "I'm alone."

"Am I not human?" Jing Luo smiled, looking at Xie Shuyi's blurred silhouette in the window, as if talking to himself, "You are not alone, you have me, you have the two of us."
