looking back inadvertently

The next day, most of the morning passed, and Shen Zhe couldn't get up from the bed.Not because of negative distance sports, but because of alcohol allergies.

Liang He went to the nearest pharmacy to help him buy medicine: "Why didn't you tell me earlier that you are allergic to alcohol?"

"How do I know it hasn't changed after so long?" Shen Zhe said weakly, the rash on his neck was no longer itchy, but his head was still dizzy.

"Allergies can't be cured." Liang He was speechless, "For the rest of my life."

"Unfortunately, I can't even drink alcohol."

"It's not very tasty." Liang He pulled off his clothes and took a look. "Are you allergic to other things? Sue me. I'll help you pay attention later."

"celery."

"That's picky eating, not allergies."

"That's okay, I'm in a bad mood after eating celery!"

"I didn't tell you to eat celery," Liang He gave him a white look, "I mean you'll get sick, let alone coriander and green peppers..." Liang He has basically figured out these dishes that Shen Zhe doesn't like.

"No more." Shen Zhe sat up from the bed and stretched, "There are so many allergens."

"That's fine." Seeing that he had the strength to make a joke, Liang He heaved a sigh of relief, and took out a few small notes from his wallet, "You haven't recorded the receipts from yesterday and today, have you?"

Shen Zhe shook his head in a daze: "I don't remember, it's too troublesome." He leaned on the pillow resignedly, "I bought such a beautiful book for nothing."

Liang He was not surprised at all, at least he persisted for a whole week.

It was gloomy outside the window, coupled with Shen Zhe's special physical condition, the two of them didn't plan to go out today, so they stayed at home.After lunch, Liang He asked Shen Zhe if he wanted to watch a movie.

"Okay, what are you looking at?"

"I've bought a lot of discs before, why don't I pick one?" He picked up a few discs from the shelf in the hut and spread them out on the bed.

"Hey, you have this—" Shen Zhe took one of them, "I watched it when I was in college." It was the "Brokeback Mountain" that once made him feel gloomy.

"Really?" Liang He thought he didn't want to watch it again, "Then pick one you haven't seen."

"Just watch this one, I want to watch it again."

Liang He didn't care, he didn't read it anyway, so he closed the curtains, and leaned against the head of the bed with Shen Zhe, with the laptop on his lap through the quilt.

Beautiful pictures, depressing storyline... Shen Zhe has only seen this movie once, but in the past few years, most of the details are still clearly remembered.If it wasn't for Liang He's company, he probably wouldn't be willing to watch it a second time.

"They don't seem to have thought that they would be like this with a man..." He said to himself, "If they don't fall in love, there will be no future."

"It doesn't make sense." It's not clear in reality, let alone in movies.

"Jack is too miserable." Shen Zhe said again.Perhaps in his subconscious mind, he hopes to have someone to confide in, who can dispel the resulting sadness.

"Well," Liang He said, watching such a heavy and realistic film for the first time, it was also uncomfortable, "but the living one may be more painful."

In a fictional world, it is easier to form a sense of substitution if you have had a similar experience.Their lives are different from those shown in the movies, not so much drama, not so much helplessness.They sympathize with the characters in the play, and at the same time they are in a safe space. This feeling can even transform the negative emotions brought about by the movie into some kind of realistic power.

They are lucky.

"Are you feeling better?" After watching the movie for a long time, Liang He asked Shen Zhe about his condition again.

"Much better, just a little tired."

"Go to sleep for a while."

"Now?" It's already afternoon, and it gets dark quickly in winter, and it probably will be dark in a while.

"It's okay, I'll make dinner, there's still a while."

Shen Zhe originally wanted to get out of bed for a walk, but when he straightened up, his eyes were a little dark, so he simply followed Liang He's suggestion and lay back on the bed.

Liang He didn't take a lunch break, he threw the clothes in the laundry basket into the washing machine for washing, and then went to the supermarket alone.

After sleeping until evening, when Shen Zhe woke up, it was completely dark, the small light on the bedside table was on, and there was a small light yellow circle on the table.Liang He was not in the room, it was very quiet.

He sat up and didn't get out of bed immediately. The aroma of food was wafting in the air. It wasn't obvious at first, but when he sniffed hard, he felt that it was getting stronger and stronger. It was from their home.Liang He was preparing dinner in the kitchen.

He lowered his legs, wanting to have a look, but the moment he raised his head, he caught sight of the scene outside the window—snow falling from the sky.

Snow is nothing new to those who grew up in the north.Nevertheless, when the first snowfall comes every year, there will still be surprises, and the snow this winter is earlier than in previous years, and it has not yet reached January.

Liang He walked into the room silently, while Shen Zhe was still staring at the window in a daze.He silently put his hand on the other's shoulder.

"It's snowing." Shen Zhe said softly.

"Well, I saw it just now. It was early this year." Liang He sat with him for a while, seeing that the snow hadn't stopped, he had to say, "Come and eat."

Shen Zhe slowly retracted his gaze, then shrugged his nose: "What did you do?"

"Does this taste? Braised fish." Although there are other dishes, they have been completely covered up.

"smell good!"

"Is that so...it's my first time making it." Qin Ying used to put some chili peppers to remove the smell when cooking fish, but Shen Zhe is not suitable for spicy food now. In addition to the regular seasonings, Liang He added star anise and bay leaves to enhance the taste The effect is better, just smelling it will have an appetite. "Wash your hands and come here, it's getting cold."

"Ah."

The snow outside the window is more urgent, and it is estimated that it will last all night.Can't hear anything.The people in the house can't feel the slightest chill that comes with the wind and snow.

The snow fell intermittently for a day, and the number of cyclists on the road was reduced by half.In the next few days, the bus will be more crowded, no matter going to or from get off work, there will be absolutely no seats available.

There is no heating in the car (*) and the rails for support are always cold and cold, a bit cold for hands.The warmth in the car is all produced by the carbon dioxide exhaled by the passengers. When the doors open and close, the air-conditioning flows backwards.Fortunately, their unit is not far from home, only a few stations away, so it is not too hard.

After the snow stopped, in order to facilitate the passage of vehicles, the cleaning staff stepped up to clear the snow on the road.The whiteness in the center of the main road disappeared quickly, and the asphalt road was soaked by snow water, and the surface color became darker.The roadsides and sidewalks are still dotted with residual snow, which has been trampled and dirty.

The only ones who can enjoy it safely in this kind of weather are children.Nearby elementary school students built two snowmen in front of the apartment building where they lived, and they could see them every time they went up and down the stairs.When Liang He came home one day, he saw a group of children playing snowball fights, their clothes and scarves were wet, and they were still enjoying it.

It was also late at dawn, and when it was still dark outside, Shen Zhe was about to get up.

On Wednesday morning, Liang He felt movement around him, as well as a small light that was quietly turned on. Not long after, there was the sound of boiling water outside, and then the sound of the anti-theft door being closed.Even if the stainless steel door moves lightly, it will make a sound when it is touched.He realized in a daze that Shen Zhe had gone to buy breakfast again.After a while, the man opened the door and came in, and went back to the bedroom to take a look.

"Shen Zhe," Liang He was still very sleepy, turning over to face him, "Let's buy some bread in advance and put it aside, it's too troublesome to go down in the morning to buy it." It was so dark, in order to buy breakfast, Shen Zhe needed to go earlier Getting up and doing it at home is just as time consuming.

"It's okay, it's better to have some warm food in the morning." He is used to this kind of routine and doesn't feel tired. "Remember to warm up the food in the steamer before eating."

After Shen Zhe went to work, Liang He lay down for another half an hour before getting up.There are tofu nao and half a pancake in the steamer.The pancakes sold downstairs are very generous, and they feel that eating a whole pancake is too greasy, and each time they buy half of the pancakes.The pot is basically still warm, and a few minutes of heat is enough.

After serving breakfast in the kitchen, he noticed something extra on the dining table. When he got closer, it was a pair of woolen gloves.He usually doesn't wear gloves, and in his impression Shen Zhe doesn't either. Where did this come from?

He picked up the glove, and the note underneath was exposed, which was Shen Zhe's handwriting:

[I forgot to tell you that I bought two pairs of gloves yesterday.My hands are very cold on the bus, so I should wear it. I also wore it today. 】

Maybe I just remembered it before I left, seeing him falling asleep again, so I left this note.Liang He folded the note and tried to put on the gloves, the size was just right.

The author says:

*In the north, there are heaters on the buses in winter, but I don’t think there were any in [-]. My memory is very unreliable. If there is any discrepancy with the reality, it is necessary for the plot.
