looking back inadvertently

They didn't go to Pizza Hut together, and Shen Zhe had no appetite.In the end, Liang He went downstairs and bought a pizza and some snacks to bring.

City C also started to rain, although compared with the force created by thunder and lightning, it can only be regarded as "heavy thunder and little rain".

When he came back, he put things on the dining table first.

Shen Zhe called Bai Yanru again, but was told that she was busy dealing with emergency patients and could not answer the phone.

"Isn't your mother coming back at night?"

"Well," Shen Zhe said, "I'm very busy today."

"Then...won't you stay at my house?" Liang He's mind was buzzing when he said it, but after he finished speaking, he thought it was a natural suggestion.

Shen Zhe didn't turn the corner immediately: "Why?"

"It's nothing, we don't have anyone at home anyway."

Communications and some roads in the northern mountainous area were interrupted, so Shen Zhe's father might not be reachable tonight.They're better together, he thought.

Shen Zhe turned his face away, as if he was thinking about something else. After a while, Liang He was hesitating whether to ask again, when he suddenly said "yes".

Liang He breathed a sigh of relief, took out a large bottle of Coke from the refrigerator, and poured two glasses to accompany dinner.

The wind and rain intensified, and there was the sound of crackling raindrops on the closed sliding door of the balcony, but gradually, the aggressive slapping sound weakened, and it was a vast buzzing sound, as if the TV set produced after the antenna was damaged. noise.

It seemed to be moderate rain.Liang He went to the balcony to take a look. The balcony was not fully sealed, and there was a large amount of water on the floor, which was brought in by the torrential rain just now.Now the wind is not so violent, only the rain is majestic, and the dense silver lines under the lights connect the sky and the earth, but they hardly fall on the balcony.

To be on the safe side, he closed the balcony door and closed the curtains in the living room.

The TV news is broadcasting the rainfall situation across the province. It is expected that the north, where the flood is the most severe, will not improve in the next three days, but the areas in C City and the south will gradually clear up.Shen Zhe stared at the TV screen without touching the eight-piece pizza in the box.

"The signal in the mountainous area is not good, and now there is a problem with the equipment," Liang He said to the pale Shen Zhe when he returned to the dining table, "It must be impossible to get in touch."

Shen Zhe started to drink Coke: "I know, Uncle Lin also said that."

In the past, when Shen Sihong was on a business trip, his phone was disconnected. This time, he just encountered bad weather conditions, which easily magnified the uneasiness in people's hearts.

When he just agreed to stay at Liang He's house, he was a little ashamed and felt that he was bothering the other party, but now he is glad that he is not alone.He didn't want to be in absolute silence.

Liang He put the pizza in the box into two empty plates respectively, pulled out long strands from the overripe cheese, and used a knife to pry them open before completely cutting them off.

"Do you want to watch another channel?" Shen Zhe put on the plastic gloves provided by the pizza shop, "It doesn't matter if you change the channel."

"It's okay, just let it go."

In the beginning, it was Shen Zhe who asked to broadcast the news, but now the voiceless human voice on the TV continues, becoming a mechanized background sound.As long as the news about the weather and natural disasters does not pass, there will be a slight panic in his heart, and the movement of eating is extremely slow.

"Multiple communication interruptions", "unknown casualties"...these words sounded both beautiful and scary-confirming that the loss of contact is normal, and at the same time reflecting that the situation is more serious than imagined.

Then, the TV news switched to the next section, and the city leaders visited the widowed and lonely old people. It was a scene of harmony and harmony.His mood then calmed down a little.

It is not the first time that the two have been in a relatively private space and dined face to face like a family.It was easier to prepare lunch at Shen Zhe's house that time despite the frequent occurrences.Today's original plan to go out was interrupted by a phone call, and Shen Zhe was always absent-minded afterwards.

Liang He still feels that it is unbelievable to be friends with Shen Zhe, it seems to be the result achieved unconsciously under the guidance of the other party.

However, once Shen Zhe drifted away from others and immersed in his own world, Liang Hutton felt unable to grasp his true state of mind, just like the previous broken love.

Thinking from the perspective of ordinary people, would he be afraid?Will he get hurt?But how these factors will manifest in Shen Zhe's body is completely uncertain.

Once, Shen Zhe said "thank you" and "I'm fine" to him... Liang He believed it.Because no matter if such words are true or false, as long as they are spoken by this person, it will be like a natural barrier, telling you that you should not dwell on it any longer.

Later, the rain became lighter, and the outside sound could not even be heard from the house.From the window near the kitchen they saw puddles glistening under the street lamps.

Shen Zhe still couldn't get through to his father's phone number, but he talked to his mother. Bai Yanru would stay in the hospital at night, and he also used this to tell her to stay at a classmate's house.

He wanted to ask Bai Yanru, what if Dad really had something to do?But can't say it.Bai Yanru may be facing a patient hovering at the threshold of death, no matter how heavy her personal emotions are at this moment, it can only be like a hidden reef on the bottom of the sea, and she must not show the slightest bit.

This house has three bedrooms and two living rooms. The master bedroom and the living room each have a bathroom. Shen Zhe borrows the one near the study in the living room to take a shower.

Liang Zheng's shopping style is different from Liang He's. He always buys a bunch of things and puts them aside for later use.Like brand-new toothbrushes, cups, towels, and even disposable underwear... All kinds of daily necessities are neatly arranged on the shelves or cabinets in the bathroom, which is more exaggerated than that of a big hotel.It is convenient for Shen Zhe to stay overnight this time.

They were about the same size, Liang He lent him his own clothes to wear when sleeping.Shen Zhe packed up, washed the old clothes, put on the T-shirt and shorts, and came out of the bathroom.Liang He was in the master bedroom, when Shen Zhe vaguely heard the sound of running water, which stopped abruptly and the door was opened from the inside.

Liang He didn't wear any clothes, he only wore a bath towel around his waist, his upper body was still dripping with water, so he didn't wipe it off at all.

"Have you finished washing?" He was obviously taken aback when he met Shen Zhe's gaze, he didn't expect that the other party was outside.

"Yeah, I just washed it too."

"I thought you weren't that fast." He turned his head a little embarrassedly, clutching the loose towel around his waist with one hand.

"What's the matter?" Shen Zhe glanced at him intentionally, with the same expression as when he was spraying the medicine, "Are you afraid that I will see it?"

Liang He was unhappy to be verbally suppressed again and again: "Then why don't you just let me see?"

Shen Zhe was taken aback for a moment, then smiled and said, "I'm used to changing clothes in the bathroom every time."

Liang He only said "oh", and went back to his room to get dressed.In fact, when he lived with Qin Ying, he always changed in the bathroom. These days, he was not so particular about being alone. Even when Shen Zhe came, he forgot to bring his clothes in.

A word or two of a little shame passed away, and no one would hold on to it, but it also eased the depressive atmosphere that began in the evening. Liang He felt that Shen Zhe's mood relaxed a little, and maybe tomorrow he would get his father's love. information.

"You can sleep in my room." Liang He came out from the room and saw Shen Zhe still sitting quietly on the sofa.

"how about you?"

"I sleep in the study room, and I will use the computer later." There is a single bed in the study room, while his own room has a double bed. Liang He thought that Shen Zhe is not short, so it would be more comfortable to sleep on a big bed.

Shen Zhe had no objection, according to what Liang He said, he was going to go into the house to rest.The furniture in Liang He's room is heavy in color, which is different from the style of the living room.

"Did you choose the furniture?" he asked.

"It doesn't count," Liang He told him, "I asked my dad about what I want, and he gave it."

"Oh." Just as Shen Zhe was about to lift his foot, he suddenly turned around, "By the way, I haven't sprayed the medicine for you yet."

The corner of Liang He's mouth twitched slightly, and he almost forgot about it.

"Come on, I can do it myself." His fingers casually knocked twice on the door frame, "You go to bed early."

Perhaps Shen Zhe was too nervous at night, and Shen Zhe was a little tired, so he didn't persevere.

Liang He applied the medicine alone to the mirror in the bathroom, and this time the pain was almost gone.

He didn't go to bed so early, and was alone in the study.Liang Zheng usually used a laptop, but the desktop was rarely turned on, and the keyboard and the external unit were covered with dust. Liang He found a semi-dry cloth to wipe it, and pressed the switch.

It works normally.Unlike Wen Hao, Liang He doesn't like playing games. Turning on the computer is just browsing the web.He checked the news of the disaster in the north again, but there was still no clear news, and the communication equipment was being repaired urgently.I have opened several websites in a row, but the content is similar, so I am afraid I will get nothing tonight.

After yawning a few times, Liang He turned off the computer, leaving only a small light on, and went to the toilet.When he came back, he subconsciously looked towards his room. It was pitch black, and the people in the room should have fallen asleep long ago.

But with the faint light from the study room and the window, he found a half-shadow in front of the bedside window, which looked like a ghost at first glance.It turned out that Shen Zhe was not lying down, but sat up straight, facing out the window, not knowing what he was looking at.

The rain in the night was pattering, like weeping and complaining, but it made the surroundings quieter.

Standing at the door for a while, Liang He's eyes adapted to the darkness, walked over gently, and called out, "Shen Zhe."

Shen Zhe's upper body, which was originally motionless, swayed, and his voice made a small sound of surprise, as if he was taken aback. When he spoke, his tone returned to calm: "Why are you here?"

"Passing by the toilet." Liang He didn't turn on the light, looked at him in the dark, and found that the other party didn't even take off his glasses, "Can't sleep?"

"Well," Shen Zhe breathed out slowly, "It's a bit."

Liang He didn't speak anymore, and didn't leave, he stood by the bed, Shen Zhe didn't understand what he meant, he was too lazy to think, and persuaded: "Go to sleep first."

Liang He's slippers rubbed against the ground, Shen Zhe thought he was going to leave.However, he had barely stepped out of the door, so he turned around and said, "Wait for me a moment."

Liang He went to the study room, hugged his own pillow and thin quilt, turned off the small light, and walked out of the room.After that, he returned to his bedroom and sat down beside Shen Zhe.

The atmosphere in the room was too quiet to be disturbed.Liang He lowered his voice and said, "I'll sleep here tonight too."
