Riceless cooking

[intervention]

Zhou Yao called a friend who was waiting at the bar, and was scolded enough. After picking up the line, he helped Jiang Mo to stop the car by the side of the road and sent her home.

Because Jiang Mo was injured, he got out of the car and squatted down, showing his whole back, turned his head and said, "Come up."

The girl hesitated on the spot for a while, then slowly lay down on the ground, her heartbeat accelerated, and she tried her best not to let her breathing sound too obvious.It's been a week, but I don't have the slightest idea of ​​charming, I just walked up to the third floor quickly.There was no elevator where Jiang Mo lived, and the inner corridor exuded a stagnant and dull smell, and when Jiang Mo opened the door, Zhou Yao was even more surprised.

The one-person apartment of more than 40 square meters was so messy that I couldn’t bear to look straight at it. There was still instant noodle soup left in the rice cooker on the floor. There was no bed. A mattress was spread in the corner, and the quilt and blanket were crumpled.

With a blushing face, Jiang Mo changed into her flip flops, rushed in to tidy up quickly, pushed the swivel chair in front of the computer desk to Zhou, and sat on the mattress by herself.

"I... I usually don't come here, and I don't care to clean up when I'm busy." She said, scratching her nails.

Zhou Zhou bypassed the piles of books and DVDs, and instead of sitting down, he walked to the half-person-high refrigerator in the other corner.

"What do you want to drink? There are milk tea and beer."

"Look for ice cubes." As Zhou Yue said, he opened the freezer. The smell smelled like it hadn't been cleaned for a long time. He reached in and searched for a plate of frosted ice cubes, broke them out, put them in a plastic bag, and carried them over. Apply Jiang Mo's ankle.

This scene was somewhat familiar, Zhou Liao remembered that he also jumped down from the second floor without hesitation that year, he didn't feel much pain at that time, it was only when Xiao Wang applied ice to him at home that he felt so painful that he wanted to cry.

By the way, Xiao Wang was wrapping ice cubes in a towel.He thought so, looked at the plastic bag in his hand, and let Jiang Mo hold the ice bag by himself: "I'll get you a towel."

Jiang Mo was naturally moved by this detail and sniffled, and instructed him to bring a towel over. She couldn't hold back, and when Zhou Le's finger touched her red, swollen and sensitive ankle, she reached out and grabbed Zhou Le's index finger.

"I, we... can we meet again in the future?"

Zhou was a little surprised, but he didn't shake her off immediately, "Of course, call me if you need help." He took his fingers out of the girl's soft hand while speaking.

After applying ointment to Jiang Mo and cooking some porridge in the pot, he left after a week. This place is in two directions from home, and when he got home, it was already past midnight.He took out the key to open the door, but the door opened quickly in front of him, Zhou Wang stood inside anxiously, the bright light could see the sweat on his forehead.

"What's the matter with you, the phone doesn't work!"

Zhou Yi hurriedly took out his mobile phone, the machine had already drained the battery and automatically shut down, he saw his younger brother wearing outdoor shoes, and asked with some anxiety: "Are you planning to go out to find me?"

"I've already found it! When I went to Qimin, I met your friend and asked me to find out that you didn't go to the party at all, why did you go!" Zhou Wang was quite annoyed, staring Zhou Liao so that he didn't dare to take a step forward.

"Something happened to me, and I was delayed."

"what's up?"

"A former classmate, she met someone who was looking for trouble, and I will send her home." Zhou Le said while trying to move into the room, Zhou Wang frowned and blocked him: "What classmate?"

"Jiang Mo, you know him too."

Zhou Wang's expected face stinks even worse: "Why is that Sanba still haunted?"

It's been a while since Zhou Wang was a child, Zhou Wang had been very repulsive to Jiang Mo, and he had long since given up on letting this kid build up his morals.

"Stay on the side." Zhou Liao stretched out his hand to push his younger brother away, and threw the changed shoes on the ground. Zhou Wang could see that he was in a bad mood, so he had to shut up.

Zhou Liao took a glass of water, poured it down and looked up at Zhou Wang: "She is a good girl, you can't say that in the future."

Zhou Wang immediately became angry: "Good girl? That's because you have no idea what she is! When you were in high school..."

"I know." Zhou Liao interrupted him, "I probably know..." His voice sank.

Zhou Yao remembered that when he was studying, Jiang Mo didn't seem to be struggling, on the contrary, he was dressed more glamorously than other girls, so he was surprised to see that Jiang Mo's place was so bad tonight, and when he asked When Jiang Mo's conflict in the bar was going on, Jiang Mo's answer to him was that he was in debt.

Zhou Li is not a person who is good at being sociable, and after losing his parents, he doesn't have deep contact with others. Jiang Mo was too close to him when he was studying. Zhou Li was passively acquainted with this girl. See, Jiang Mo suddenly appeared in front of him, and suddenly told him his predicament very trustingly and reliantly, he couldn't just sit back and watch.

It turned out that Jiang Mo was not as simple and innocent as she was in school. She was an illegitimate daughter who lived with her shady mother. The man who provided material help to their mother and daughter a few years ago was also her father without a name. The whole family moved away quietly, and life has become more difficult since then.She didn't say it clearly, but Zhou Yao could imagine that those people in the bar were not like such clean creditors. Jiang Mo might have a bad experience that she never wanted to reveal.

Zhou Yue put the cup gently on the table, his younger brother was still awkward, and he didn't bother to coax him anymore. He remembered Jiang Mo lowering his head and whispering: "Zhou Ji, don't be so nice." the sound of.

The girl's ankle was sprained almost the same as her back then, she looked too fragile, Zhou Liao thought, he used to be like this too.

So this is not pure sympathy, Zhou Li didn't care what it was, he was out of laziness in many things, and even seemed a little unfeeling in the usual sense.

====================================================================== ================

In a blink of an eye, it was the day of the college entrance examination. Zhou Zhou bought a heavy bowl of ice cream and shaved ice at the milk tea shop outside No. [-] Middle School, and turned back to the sidewalk full of waiting parents, just as the bell rang for the end of the exam.

I saw Zhou Wang from a distance, he was also quite tall among the boys, he was putting his shoulders on Hu Bo, and he had a very relaxed expression on his face.Zhou Liao also heaved a sigh of relief when he saw his younger brother's eyelids squinting in the sun.

"Hey, brother!" Zhou Wang found that his brother was standing in the crowded crowd, holding a large paper bowl in his hand, and hurriedly shook Hu Bo towards him: "Didn't I tell you to go back first?" , it’s so hot outside.” Then he took the ice cream in Zhou’s hand and held it up higher, the pudding and jam swaying on it were so tempting, Zhou Wang stayed for two days in the classroom with only a few slow fans. After an hour and a half, he fainted from the heat. He stuck out his tongue and rolled half a ball of ice cream, stretched out his hand to protect Zhou Li and squeezed it out, then handed the paper bowl to his brother: "It tastes good, you should try it too."

At this time, Hu Bo came over staggeringly, and without any explanation, he put his knee against Zhou Wang's leg: "You bloody brother, I will ignore you when I see your brother!"

Zhou Wang smiled and avoided: "You are not as good as my brother." He stretched his arms around Zhou who was eating ice cream with a spoon: "My brother came to bring me condolences." He didn't wait for Zhou after finishing speaking. After he came to his senses, he repeated the same trick, lowering his head to hold the spoon that Zhou Le had handed to his mouth, and his lips almost touched Zhou's chin.

Zhou was stunned.

"Huh~~~" Hu Bo jumped up and shook his arms, "I'm so disgusted!"

"The last subject, how do you feel?" Zhou Le handed the spoon to his younger brother and asked.

"There is no problem at all, just fill out the notification form and wait for it." Zhou Wang didn't pick up the spoon, but scooped up the fruit with his brother's hand, not to mention Hu Bo, his goosebumps couldn't hold it anymore, so he waved his hand quickly Farewell: "Remember to come out to the party at night! Go first!" After speaking, he got into the car parked at the roadside home to pick him up.

"Brother, let's go home." Zhou Wang was in a good mood, and hugged Zhou from behind with a smile. The weather was hot, and the place where the skin touched quickly became sticky, but Zhou didn't dislike him. He reached back and patted him. brother's head.

In order to celebrate the end of the college entrance examination, Zhou Zhou cooked two special dishes, called the restaurant, ordered steak and pizza, and ordered red wine. Zhou Wang had a meal combining Chinese and Western styles.

After the meal, Zhou Wang hiccupped while rubbing his stomach, his long legs were dangling under the dining table, and he was dragging Zhou’s insteps while wearing indoor clothes. Today, Zhou Wang has a particularly good temper. He just paid him back, and then collected the dishes and went to the kitchen to brush, with a smile on his face all the time.

Zhou Wang Pi Dian Dian followed in. The kitchen area was narrow, and the shoulders of two tall and straight boys were too crowded. Zhou Li pushed him: "Don't make any trouble, you have been tired for so many days, go to rest."

"No, I'm the most relaxed person in the world now. I've finished the college entrance examination, and these few dishes can still tire me out." He tried to squeeze to the side of Zhou: "From now on, I'll do the dishes when you cook. .”

Zhou Liao bowed his head, smiled and acquiesced.

The lights in the kitchen are warm and bright, and Zhou Wang's well-knit hands are obviously doing greasy and messy work, but Zhou Wang can't take his eyes off him. The chest that was relaxed with the end of the college entrance examination once again breeds that soft and greasy feeling. Greed comes.

"Brother, we can always be like this, right?"

"Huh?" Zhou Li raised his wrist and brushed the bangs that blocked his eyes.

Zhou Wang's eyes followed, looking at his brother's drooping eyelashes and sharp eyebrows, he pretended to repeat casually: "It's just you doing the cooking and I washing the dishes, always like this?"

"Okay." Zhou Li lowered his head, readily agreed, and then frowned again: "Hey, why are you so worthless, planning to spend the rest of your life with me? Girlfriend or something..."

"Yes." His brother interrupted him.

"Yes, I just want to spend my whole life with you."

The voice coming from a close distance beside him was brisk but determined. Zhou Yao finally stopped his movements. He put down the bowl.

He needs to raise his head a little now to meet his younger brother's eyes.

"You didn't get dumped by the girl when I didn't know, did you?"

Zhou Wang smiled bitterly: "What do you think?"

"You look like you've been emotionally hurt, and you still don't admit it?" Zhou Liao touched him with his elbow, thought it was funny, and then lowered his head to get the bowl.

"I'm serious." Zhou Wang lowered his voice, sounding moist and gentle, "I'm serious, just the two of us, just the two of us, can't we?"

"Xiao Wangyou..." Zhou Liao wanted to say don't make trouble, don't be naive, but when he looked into his younger brother's eyes again, he saw that the well-known tall boy's eye sockets were wet, and he was using a very strange, He looked at himself beggingly.

The last time Xiaowang cried was when Xu Wanqing and Zhou Yunzhi left when she was 12 years old.

He crawled into his own bed in the middle of the night, into his still young arms, choked up and said, "Don't abandon me, never."

He was almost bewildered, the long-standing fear and pain were projected onto his face again through Zhou Wang's eyes, and he had a premonition that he would fall into the abyss even if he took one step forward.

Why does Xiao Wang look at him like this, because there is no one to rely on anymore in this world, he is Xiao Wang's support, from the moment his parents left, he is his only support, is that so?

He didn't understand that there was another thing in Zhou Wang's eyes, which was desire. He just fell into the past events of being dependent on each other, thinking that his younger brother, like him, had always used a hard appearance to hide his cowardice.But they had to come out, and that isolation was over.

Zhou Li opened his mouth and was about to say something when the phone in Zhou Wang's pocket rang.

As for Zhou Wang, he was tortured by his brother's long silence and wanted to run away. He quickly turned his back, picked up the phone and walked out.

"Hey... oh I see... well, I'll be right there."

Zhou was still standing where he was, he reached out to support the edge of the pool, and heard Zhou Wang shouting from outside: "Brother, I'm going out for a while, the classmates' graduation party." Then there was a dull sound of closing the door.

Immediately afterwards, Zhou's cell phone rang.
