Self-cultivation of spare tire

After the party, Shen Qingqu still had the man's ostentatious face in his mind, the more he thought about it, the more he felt something was wrong.

If Chen Zhu had such a rich elder brother, how could he live in such a difficult situation?

And the man who suddenly appeared was not only extravagant, but he could also tell from his gestures that he was not an ordinary person.

There were more and more doubts, and the uneasiness in Shen Qingqu's heart grew deeper.

Just when he was going to visit Chen Zhu's house, a familiar blond boy jumped into his sight.

Ever since Ye Xi accompanied Chen Zhu to a class, she never appeared again, and Shen Qingqu also saw from Chen Zhu's words and deeds that the two had broken up.

Unexpectedly, Ye Xi appeared at the door of the hot pot restaurant with a bunch of bright yellow sunflowers in his arms.

"Hello, Teacher Shen." Ye Xi greeted Shen Qingqu very politely, "I'm here to find Chen Zhu."

Shen Qingqu stared at him, "Looking for Chen Zhu?" They had clearly broken up...

"Yeah." Ye Xi hugged the flower, smiled shyly, but his eyes were sincere and persistent, "I heard that his exam is over, I think, I want to congratulate him."

"The results haven't come out yet." Shen Qingqu buttoned his coat lightly, took out the car keys, and prepared to drive to Chen Zhu's house to have a look, "Chen Zhu has already been picked up by his brother."

"What..." Ye Xi's smile disappeared, and he said loudly, "Where is Chen Zhu's brother from?"

Hearing this, Shen Qingqu was startled, and asked him: "Chen Zhu was picked up by a tall man, do you know him?"

"Fuck!" Ye Xi threw the flower to the ground with his hands, and cursed in a low voice.

No need to think too much, Ye Xi already knows who the so-called "brother" is.

"Xu Lanting." Ye Xi clenched his back teeth, turned his head and was about to leave.

Shen Qingqu stopped the runaway man, he could tell that that man might not be a good person, "Who is Xu Lanting?"

"It's too late to tell you more," Ye Xi caught a glimpse of the car keys in Shen Qingqu's hand, he came in a hurry, and didn't tell the driver to wait for him, "You drive, I'll take you there."

Shen Qingqu came to his senses, opened the car door, and said worriedly: "Is Chen Zhu in danger?"

Ye Xi quickly fastened his seat belt, sneered, dangerous?

Wouldn't it be dangerous to be carried back to the den by a wolf that eats people and doesn't spit out bones?

"Mr. Shen, please drive faster." Ye Xi was afraid that when they arrived, the man would eat up Chen Zhu until there was not even a scum left.

Shen Qingqu stepped on the gas pedal to the bottom, he couldn't help wondering, that man's words and demeanor are all polite...

Ye Xi saw Shen Qingqu's doubts, gritted his teeth and said, "Xu Lanting is just a wolf in sheep's clothing."

It's no wonder that Shen Qingqu was confused by the man's appearance, Xu Lanting's skills are superb, and he can easily play with people's hearts between applause.

But Shen Qingqu is a person who is used to living in ivory towers, so how could he see Xu Lanting's real face under the illusion of well-dressed clothes.

"Damn it, beast." Ye Xi was furious, "While he's drunk..." He couldn't continue, his eyes were red, and he gritted his teeth, "A beast in clothes."

The "clothed animal" knelt down halfway, tilted its back slightly, and carefully placed the person on the sofa.

Xu Lanting only wore a thin shirt, but walked all the way with his back on his back, but he didn't seem to know the cold, and after putting Chen Zhu on the sofa, he half squatted in front of Chen Zhu.

He raised his hand, wiped away the frost and snow between Chen Zhu's eyebrows, and asked softly, "Still uncomfortable?"

Chen Zhu had already slept on the man's back, but he didn't feel sleepy at the moment, it was just that there was something wrong with the rhythm of his speech.

He couldn't tell who the man was, so he could only whisper to himself, "It's not uncomfortable, I don't want to sleep."

Chen Zhu stared straight at Xu Lanting for a while, frowned and said, "Who are you?"

"I..." Xu Lanting realized that he couldn't follow the logic of a drunkard, so he just smiled, "Is it still cold?" The room is well heated, completely isolating the cold air from outside.

But Xu Lanting seemed to be stupid, still afraid that Chen Zhu would feel cold, "Huh? Is it cold?"

Chen Zhu blinked, his dull nerves turned around slowly, and then nodded.

Xu Lanting thought he was cold, and was about to light up the fire in the fireplace, but heard Chen Zhu answer the wrong question: "Well, I'm a little hungry."

Chen Zhu sat up straighter, his nose was slightly reddened by the cold wind, but his eyes were as clear as snow, "Hotpot."

Chen Zhu is a native of Guizhou and naturally likes spicy food. Today, he finally encountered a hot pot scene, but he didn't dare to stay longer because he drank too much.

He is still thinking about the fat cow he just missed.

But Xu Lanting didn't plan to give him hot pot.Chen Zhu couldn't stand the spicy food in his stomach after drinking, and the man was afraid that he would be a picky eater and wouldn't eat it—although Chen Zhu usually cherished food, but Xu Lanting knew that there were many things Chen Zhu didn't like to eat.

I like to eat tomatoes but don't like to eat baked tomatoes; I like to eat meat but don't like too fatty meat; I like to eat sugar... I like any sugar...

But Chen Zhu would never waste food just because he didn't like it, even if it was the food he didn't like, he would eat it clean.

Xu Lanting thought for a while, and ordered his assistant to order a copy of the signature dishes of all the nearby five-star hotels.

"Deliver it within half an hour." Xu Lanting turned around and looked at the person who was sitting upright on the sofa, with the long-lost, gentleness in his eyes that belonged to the world.

After giving the order, Xu Lanting wrung out the hot towel, turned Chen Zhu's palms over, wiped his hands carefully first, and then took off his shoes.

The frostbite marks on Chen Zhu's ankles have faded a lot, leaving only a light shadow.

Xu Lanting knelt down, slowed down the strength in his hand, as if he didn't know that the scar had healed, he lifted Chen Zhu's instep carefully, blew gently, and said in a low voice, "It doesn't hurt anymore."

Blow it and it won't hurt.

The man's eyes were red, he lowered his head and kissed the shallow marks, and vowed that he would never hurt him again.

Snapped! ——Xu Lanting was caught off guard and slapped on the face.

Chen Zhu hit and kicked, and pushed Xu Lanting away.

This was his subconscious defensive action. In a foreign country, Chen Zhu met many good people, but how could there be no bad people in this world?

Chen Zhu looked warily at the man behaving strangely, and warned him, "Don't touch me." He kicked Xu Lanting away fiercely.

"Otherwise I'll beat you up." Chen Zhu was extremely fierce, if his eyes were not still erratic, Xu Lanting would have thought he was sober.

Well, the things in the bones still haven't changed.

He looks docile and harmless, but he is actually a stubborn and fierce character.

No change... Xu Lanting smiled, but his eyes became redder. He wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, and picked up the towel silently.

"Okay, I won't touch you." He was half coaxing, half lying, "The coat is wet, take it off, okay?"

Chen Zhu stared at him vigilantly, but did not move.

As soon as the man stretched out his hand, Chen Zhu wrinkled his nose and stared at the hands close to him.

Cheng... Xu Lanting sighed, there was really nothing he could do about it.

He got up, turned around, and walked to the cabinet.Xu Lanting took out a kraft paper bag from the cabinet with ease.

The words "Old Beijing Candied Haws" are printed on the paper bag in bright red.

Xu Lanting orders a cabinet of candied haws every month.

When the ice sugar melts, order another cabinet.

With vain delusions, the man tasted the short-lived sweetness from the tip of the knife, watching the illusion of sweetness shatter and melt into a pool of bloody red again and again.

But he still tortured himself persistently and almost paranoidly in this way.

Only pain can wake him up and make him feel alive.

Xu Lanting lowered his head and carefully opened a candied haws.

Finally, he brought the bunch of sweets, which had been late for a long time, to Chen Zhu's eyes.

The man held up the candied haws and waved it in front of Chen Zhu's eyes.

Chen Zhu sat upright, without even tilting his head, but his sharp eyes were attracted by the crystal clear candy, and turned back and forth following the movements of Xu Lanting's wrist.

"Little kid." Xu Lanting's heart was so soft that he rubbed Chen Zhu's hair, and handed the candied haws to Chen Zhu's hand.

"Eat." Xu Lanting knelt down again, looked up at Chen Zhu, "It's all yours."

But Chen Zhu held the candied haws, but he just looked at it seriously, and then looked again.

"Huh?" Xu Lanting thought that Chen Zhu was not willing to eat, and felt bitter, "Don't be afraid, after eating, there are still many."

But the person holding the candied haws lowered his head in a rare way. He blinked and asked Xu Lanting, "How do you eat it?"

The candy in his hand looked so beautiful and delicate, with a layer of transparent honey on the outside, plump strawberries and red hawthorn inside.

Alcohol softened Chen Zhu's will and made him show timidity for the first time in his life. He held up the candy and felt a little helpless.

A child who has never eaten candy suddenly gets the most exquisite sweetness in the world, and what he greets is not joy, but embarrassment and bewilderment.

The man lowered his head, took a deep breath, then raised his red eyes and looked at Chen Zhu.

"Brother taught you how to eat."

He tilted his head and bit a bright red strawberry from Chen Zhu's hand.

While Chen Zhu was in a daze, the man leaned over and moved closer.

The sweetness on the lips came slowly, Chen Zhu looked at Xu Lanting curiously and nervously.

But Xu Lanting closed his eyes, as if he didn't dare to look at him.

The translucent icing melted slowly, slipped drop by drop, and wiped the lips stickily and sweetly.

The softness broke at the touch, and Xu Lanting quickly backed away a little.

"Is it delicious?" The man's voice was already hoarse, as if he was holding back something.

Chen Zhu licked his lips and thought for a while, "It's delicious."

He suddenly reached out to Xu Lanting's lips, and brushed the sugar residue on the man's lips with his fingertips.

"It's not easy to think about the origin of a porridge and a meal." Chen Zhu said solemnly, and put his finger to Xu Lanting's mouth innocently and innocently, "Don't waste it."

The man's chest heaved, he was like a beast that had been lurking in the dark for too long, suppressing the crazy desire/desire, and approaching slowly.

Xu Lanting opened his mouth and bit the porcelain white fingertip.

Just when the man couldn't control himself and put his hand on Chen Zhu's waist - the doorbell rang.

He is still hungry... Xu Lanting told himself repeatedly, suppressing the turbulent emotions.

The man got up as if to escape, turned his back, and raised his hand to straighten his skirt.

The assistant outside waited for quite a while before Xu Lanting came to open the door.

There was nothing unusual about the man, but the assistant inexplicably felt that Xu Lanting was extremely dangerous tonight.He didn't dare to delay, so he hurriedly asked someone to deliver all the meals in the car.

The food is packed in small dining carts, and pushed in rows.

The aroma of food quickly attracted Chen Zhu's attention, but he was drunk and wanted to get up, but fell back on the sofa.

Xu Lanting waved his hand to signal the man to leave, but before the assistant left, he saw the man pushing the dining car, walked up to Chen Zhu, bowed, his tone was never gentle.

The man coaxed him, unreasonably intimate, "Have some soup first, huh?"

Damn it... The little assistant subconsciously closed her eyes, not daring to look, and left in a panic, closing the door tightly before leaving.

He thought that Chen Zhu was extremely hungry, but when the food really arrived in front of his eyes, Chen Zhu subconsciously stepped back.

"Huh?" Xu Lanting sat beside him with a soup bowl, "Don't you like this?" He got up again, wanting to change a bowl.

But Chen Zhu pursed his lips and put his hand into his pocket.

He looked down at the crumpled piece of money in his pocket, pursed his lips tightly, and said nothing.

Xu Lanting slowly put down the bowl and chopsticks, realizing that he had made a serious mistake.He is used to delicacies from mountains and seas, but his Azhu is not.

Azhu's three meals are nothing more than simple and common noodles and rice.

In addition, Chen Zhuben works in the restaurant. For him, such exquisite and delicious food needs to be paid for.

"I'm sorry." Xu Lanting said in a low voice, "Baby, I'm sorry." He leaned over, looked at Chen Zhu's, and said in a low voice, "Azhu, brother will cook for you, okay?"

Xu Lanting found a suitable option from the recipes he was good at, rubbed the tip of his nose against Chen Zhu, and said softly, "Does Ah Zhu like rice noodles?"

Chen Zhu looked hesitantly and inexplicably at this man who treated him so well.

In his memory, someone seemed to have made authentic rice noodles for him.

"Brother, you like to eat rice noodles. I specially learned from my aunt. Try it and see if it is the taste of your hometown."

Chen Zhu blinked, then nodded dully, "Yes."

Thank you Ye Xi... Just as he was about to speak, the man turned around and entered the kitchen.

Chen Zhu looked at the man's broad shoulders and narrow waist, and felt that something was wrong, but he didn't know what to do.

Didn't Ye Xi break up with him already?

The author has something to say: Zhu'er: You used to use me as a spare tire, but today you are a substitute :)

Of course Ye Xi is out of the game, just a tool person (Zhu’er only has the motherland and ideals in his heart~
