Released

As if time had stopped, Lu Xiangyang froze in place.

The crowd on the court was bustling with chatter and noise.Waves of sound surged wantonly behind him.

The setting sun took a step back quietly, and the light cast from the gaps in the leaves separated him in a constant space, and the world was so quiet that only the wind passing between them remained.

Zhou Xi's voice was very soft, but he could hear it clearly.

He knew that there were a lot of things he wanted to say in his heart, and the words and sentences were all entangled and clamored to surge up, but his throat was choked by an unknown reason, and he couldn't hold back a word.

Every time something happened to him, Zhou Xi was there.

This time is good, and last time he fought with the gangster who smashed the store.

Zhou Xi stood in front of him like an eagle, spreading his icy wings fiercely.

From childhood to adulthood, it was the first time that he saw someone wanting to protect him.

"Why are you here?" Zhou Xi turned around, the remaining chill in his eyes quickly faded, he walked over and patted Lu Xiangyang on the shoulder, "Let's go."

"...Zhou Xi, wait." Only then did Lu Xiangyang come back to his senses, and grabbed Zhou Xi's wrist with his backhand. The material of the suit was soft and crisp, and Lu Xiangyang clearly grasped the piercing metal watch under his clothes.

"Huh?" Zhou Xi was held back by him, and he turned his head, his eyes were clear and clear.

The outline of the watch is very clear, and it is firmly separated between the skins of the two, and the temperature cannot even be touched for a while.

Lu Xiangyang suddenly let go of his hands knowingly, his breathing stopped following his heartbeat, he heaved a sigh of relief, and swallowed back the gibberish words that came to his lips: "...Thank you."

Zhou Xi looked down at him slightly, his glasses slipped a little from the bridge of his nose.

"Boss Lu!——" Xiaohua's voice came from behind, as if she had been looking for him for a long time, and she shouted quite clearly, "Shall we have dinner tonight?"

"That's right." Qingqing followed up and winked at Lu Xiangyang and said, "Mr. Zhou has helped you a lot. Please treat Mr. Zhou to dinner."

"Then buy some food and eat hot pot." Zhou Xi suddenly said, "Isn't he still sick? The food outside is not easy to digest."

Lu Xiangyang was stunned: "...the store has not opened the seal, where should we go to eat?"

Originally, I was going to eat at Boss Lu's house, but because Boss Lu's house had to climb seven flights of stairs, he successfully passed the unanimous veto.

In the end, Boss Zhou's small mansion was chosen.

According to the assignment of Cengfan, Qingqing took Xiaohua to buy vegetables, Zhou Xi took Lu Xiangyang to buy meat, and then they all met in the spring community.

"I thought you liked to eat alone." Lu Xiangyang sat on the co-pilot and closed his eyes. The car seat was very comfortable. His whole body and mind seemed to be trapped in the clouds, even his legs were stretched out, "Look at your Look, I don't like to join in the fun."

"There are good things to celebrate." Zhou Xi said, "I rarely have dinner together."

As soon as Zhou Xi stepped on the brake, the car door closed by itself, and the lights on the roof of the car automatically went out.The star curtain hangs outside the window, the street lights are not on, and the space inside the car glows with a lazy, quiet and dim tone, private and intimate.They sat side by side, exchanging and breathing the same air in the carriage.

"That's right." Lu Xiangyang's bad cold made him half-drowsy as soon as he sat down, "I rarely do either."

In some respects, he is very similar to Zhou Xi.

Since Lu Xiangyang came to Miancheng, he has almost forgotten what the New Year's Eve dinner tastes like.The feeling of eating together as a family is far away and strange.

Every year during traditional festivals, when every family reunites and congratulates, Lu Xiangyang hides in his small kitchen, makes himself a bowl of noodles, frys a poached egg, brings them to the window, and watches thousands of open fires and thousands of lanterns.

He has made cakes, moon cakes, wedding candies, and New Year’s candies for thousands of families—in an industry that conveys blessings and goodness, he works hard day after day to fulfill the joy of others, but he fails to do so Live yourself.

Zhou Xi fixedly looked at the people around him for a while, then involuntarily let go of the hand holding the steering wheel, and touched Lu Xiangyang's forehead.

The unexplained warmth caused Lu Xiangyang to suddenly open his eyes.The eyes are alert and bright, like an innocent bird.

"The fever is gone." Zhou Xi withdrew his hand in satisfaction, "You can buy more good meat and come back to make up for it."

Lu Xiangyang sat up straighter, and covered his forehead with his hand in a daze. The place Zhou Xi touched just now still had his warmth and tactile sensation.

I couldn't bear to let it go like this.

"Seat belt." Zhou Xi reminded, "Fasten it before going to sleep."

What Zhou Xi took him to was a fairly large import supermarket in the east of the city.This place is too far away, Lu Xiangyang only came once when the business circle opened, and he couldn't even enter the door.

The supermarket is called Sigui, and there are large advertisements written in English on the wall, requiring a membership system to consume.Lu Xiangyang looked at hundreds of ocean members with an annual fee, and then paid attention to the prices of the products on the flyer, and silently repelled the idea of ​​shopping here.

After confirming the eyes, it is someone who can't afford it.

He dozed off all the way in Zhou Xi's car, but he was still not sober.Lu Xiangyang stretched his waist and tried to open his sleepy eyes. Not far away, Zhou Xi walked over pushing a shopping cart and swiped the passcode for the staff at the door.

"Do you have a membership card?" Lu Xiangyang sniffed, put on the mask, followed up and asked, "Are we going to shop here?"

"Yeah." Zhou Xi fumbled a physical card from his wallet and gave it to him, "Here, the gift card is about to expire, and I don't usually buy groceries. You can spend it for me."

Lu Xiangyang took the card and turned it over, it said Sigui Member Club, recharge gift card, the amount was 1000 yuan.

"I also know it's called the Deadly Club, but this store is very self-aware." Lu Xiangyang put the card in his pocket, "Why do you come here to buy things? You live so far away."

Zhou Xi pushed the shopping cart up the ramp-style escalator, adjusted his glasses and said sincerely: "The things in his house are very neatly arranged."

Lu Xiangyang: "Huh?!"

After entering the supermarket, Lu Xiangyang quickly understood what Zhou Xi was talking about.

This is a huge warehouse supermarket.Wide floors, super strong heavy-duty industrial shelves with a height of four or five meters, the goods are well organized and dazzling, and the bottom can't be seen at a glance.

There is also a huge cold storage at the back, which is busy transferring frozen ingredients. Every time the storage door opens and closes, it can emit majestic air-conditioning, which is particularly spectacular.

"Wow—" Boss Lu let out a countryman's exclamation.

"It's not bad." Zhou Xi sighed, "I like to come here to shop very much. But living alone, there is nothing to buy."

You are right.This type of supermarket usually requires a larger floor space, which means high rent costs, and the price will also guide customers to buy whole boxes accordingly, which is more suitable for people living at home.

If one person can't finish all the food, it's all the fault of being single.

Lu Xiangyang strolled happily in front, and Zhou Xi followed behind pushing the cart.There are already several boxes of meatball sauce for shabu-shabu in the car.

When Lu Xiangyang saw the meat, he couldn't move anymore. While weighing it back and forth in the freezer, he showed Zhou Xi his little skill of weighing by hand that he had practiced for many years.

"Although they all have the same weight label, industrial machines will definitely have errors." Lu Xiangyang weighed several boxes of beef slices in the freezer back and forth, "But choose the most cost-effective one, and you have to do it yourself. No, it’s better to shop online. You see, this one is obviously the most important!”

While watching him buy, Zhou Xi moved the car towards him: "Yes, you are right."

Customers passing by will always look up at them hastily.

Two people are quite eye-catching in the supermarket.

One is wearing a mask with pigtails, only bright eyes can be seen, but there is still a lively and heroic look on his face.The other one is dressed in a suit and leather shoes, with a well-groomed appearance, and the brows under the glasses are full of gentleness.

"Let me tell you." Lu Xiangyang didn't care about the others, he just buried his head in the freezer and rummaged through the freezer, "This brand of cheese is absolutely disgusting! You must stock up on two boxes in the refrigerator at home, and you can fry it casually. Delicious to explode—"

He turned around with two boxes of cheese sausages, the scene in front of him made him move, before he could finish his words, the ending sound was pressed on the base of his tongue, and he swallowed back his breath.

I don't know when, there was another person beside Zhou Xi.

The visitor had a handsome face, a tall and straight figure, and was wearing a British windbreaker. He skillfully wrapped his arms around Zhou Xi's shoulders.

Lu Xiangyang's pupils dilated uncontrollably, and the cheese sausage in his hand fell back into the freezer with a bang.His breath was held in the mask quickly, and his face was hot from the steam, leaving only his hands cold and bone-chilling.

"Yo, Zhou Xi. Long time no see." The man smiled and leaned half of his body, "What a coincidence? Why did you think of running away from me?"

Zhou Xi turned his body to one side indiscriminately, watching the other party lose his support and put his hand back: "Gu An?"

The name exploded in his mind like a thunderbolt.Lu Xiangyang took a step back, his thoughts were chaotic, he blinked in disbelief.

"Hmm." Gu An glanced at the ingredients in his shopping cart calmly, "Don't buy them, why don't you go to my house for dinner? My dad heard that you have returned to China, and he has been talking about you every day recently, saying that when you were young, you often Come on, I'll be gone for a long time."

"Say hello to Uncle for me." Zhou Xi looked at Lu Xiangyang, "I won't be here today, I have a dinner appointment with a friend."

"Oh?" Gu An looked over as if hearing something rare, "Your friend?"

Lu Xiangyang was a little out of breath, he pulled off the mask on his face, and raised his head to face Gu An.

Gu An stood not far away, waved his hand and smiled at him.

The smiling man in front of him has Zhou Xi's past that he never participated in.

He even possessed a part of Zhou Xi's body for many years.The dial with the engraved name was tightly clasped to the skin of Zhou Xi's wrist, and the hinges of the movement pulsed hotly along with the heart vessels. In the long river of time, it seemed that they were entangled with each other every minute and every second.

Lu Xiangyang never knew that the position occupied by a watch could be so domineering and fierce, and could be so intimate and ambiguous.

Gu An saw the face of the person coming, and couldn't help narrowing his eyes: "Lu Xiangyang? I know you."

There was a ray of fiery light in Lu Xiangyang's eyes.He met Gu An's eyes and said calmly, "I know you too."
