docile pet

It snowed overnight.

Fang Mian just woke up in the morning, before he opened his eyes, Fang Pei wrapped him up in a quilt and hugged him to the window.

"Mianmian, look!"

Fang barely opened his eyelids, and in an instant, the overwhelming white rushed into the field of vision, and there was snow everywhere.

The hot air in the room condensed a layer of water mist inside the glass window, and someone wiped out an irregular circular dry area near the window.

Fang Mian looked through this area and saw that the snow piled up on the balcony was as thick as a sponge cake, and the center of this "sponge cake" had collapsed a small piece, and the vacant part was sitting on two crooked little snowflakes. A man with a round head and a round belly, no face, and only two hands made of thin branches.

"The tall one is me, and the short one is Mian Mian." Fang Pei laughed to himself, breathed out a mist of water on the window, and wiped it away with his hands indiscriminately.

Fang Mianwo yawned in his arms, deliberately teasing him: "I don't think so. You were obviously shorter than me in your original form, so the taller one is me, and the shorter one is you."

Fang Pei thought for a while, and felt that what he said made sense, so he reluctantly compromised: "Okay..."

Seeing him like this, Fang Mian was reluctant to bully him again: "Okay, okay, the tall one is you. Put me back on the bed quickly."

"You haven't praised me yet, am I doing a good job?"

"nice."

"Hey, I really like Mianmian."

There were still a lot of vegetables left over from yesterday's purchase, so Fang Mian poured them all into the pot and cooked noodles. He could have one meal in the morning and another meal at noon.

During the meal, Fang Mian and Fang Pei each held a bowl of hot noodle soup, sat in front of the balcony window and ate noodles, enjoying the snow scene while eating, very comfortable.

According to Fang Mian's observations, Fang Pei always picks out what he likes first when eating, so Fang Mian just bowed his head and drank a couple of mouthfuls of soup. The beef and carrots in Fang Pei's bowl disappeared, and Fang Mian picked from his own bowl. Give him a few pieces of beef, and he also gives Fang Mian some vegetables.

"So you don't like to eat vegetables?" Fang Mian poked at him.

"No." In order to prove that he is not a picky eater, Fang Pei quickly swallowed a vegetable without chewing it.

"...Don't you burn your mouth? Eat slowly."

Halfway through eating noodles, Fang Mian's cell phone vibrated a few times, he took it out and saw that it was a group text message, Fang Mian glanced at it and threw the phone aside.

"Who is looking for you?" Fang Pei asked, "Is Ye naive?"

Fang Mian didn't bother to correct him anymore, he continued to eat noodles: "No, it's a class reunion."

"What's that?" Fang Pei had already finished eating all the noodles, and was licking the soup on the wall of the bowl, when Fang Mian saw it, he gave him a little more of the noodles in his own bowl.

"It's just my classmates in high school. When the Chinese New Year is approaching, we will get together to have a meal every year." But Fang Mian has never been there, and he doesn't plan to go this year.

With just one sentence, Fang Pei's bowl was empty again. Holding the empty bowl, he asked, "Today is the last day of this year, what are we going to do?"

Fang Mian fed the last piece of beef left in the bowl into his mouth: "Let's go to Ye Youzhi's house for the New Year's Eve. He has asked us out many times."

Fang Pei swallowed the beef, raised his eyelids and said, "I don't want to go."

Fang Mian added: "But he has 3D equipment at home, we can watch 3D movies."

Fang Pei hummed twice: "You can forcefully go."

Originally, Fang Mian didn't like places with many people, so Ye Youzhi asked him out several times and he refused. Fang Mian felt flustered and anxious at the thought of having to deal with a room full of strangers, but Ye Youzhi said All my friends are going on a date tonight. If Fang Mian and Fang Pei don't come, he will probably spend New Year's Eve alone at home.Since there was no social pressure, Fang Mian had no reason to refuse, and they made an appointment to meet at Ye Youzhi's house after dinner.

Before going, Fang Mian and Fang Pei bought two large bags of snacks and a basket of fruit at the convenience store in the community. They quickly found his home according to the address and location given by Ye Youzhi.

When Fang Mian and Fang Pei arrived, Ye Youzhi was still washing the dishes. He opened the door wearing an apron with a tiger cartoon pattern on it. Sure enough, there were only him and Tiantian at home.

Ye Youzhi first saw Fang Mian's eye-catching hair color, and he praised Fang Mian's beauty with a smile, before changing the subject before Fang Mian was ashamed and angry: "I have prepared a lot of snacks, I didn't expect you to buy them too, it seems that tonight we You can open it up and eat."

Ye Youzhi greeted the two of them into the house, handed them slippers, and let them wander around the house by themselves.

Fang Mian couldn't walk around other people's houses, so he took Fang Pei to put down the things on the coffee table in the living room, and looked around casually.

The house structure of Baihe Xinyuan is similar to that of Xingfu District, but the area is a little bigger. He was thinking about this when he suddenly saw a small staircase near the corner of the kitchen, leading directly to the upstairs.

Fang Mian was puzzled, he remembered that the building had six floors in total, and Ye Youzhi lived on the fifth floor, didn't the stairs lead to someone else's house on the sixth floor?He was so curious that he walked to the stairs with his slippers on and looked up——

"Ah, the area of ​​the house in this community is too small, only 60 square meters, so I bought the fifth and sixth floors together, and made a staircase." Ye Youzhi came out of the kitchen after washing the dishes, and stood behind Fang Mian He also looked upstairs, "Do you want to go up and have a look? The home 3D theater equipment is upstairs."

"Two floors? The next door belongs to your house too?"

"Correct."

"..."

Fang Mian froze for a while. He should have thought that a writer like Ye Youzhi who became famous at a young age and whose works sold well in major bookstores would not be short of money. Renting a house is different. Ye Youzhi lives in such a remote place simply because he is willing.

"I'll just take a look. Are there any other friends coming over tonight?" Fang Mian asked.

"I have an appointment with another one, but I don't know if he will come or not. If he comes, we can have a mahjong table together." Ye Youzhi cast a playful glance at Fang Pei who forced himself between him and Fang Mian.

"Uh, we don't know how to play mahjong." Fang Mian pushed Fang Pei aside.He stood in the middle like a wall, blocking Fang Mian tightly.

Fang Pei reluctantly turned sideways a little, and repeated with lowered eyelids: "No."

Ye Youzhi asked, "What about the card? Do you know Fighting the Landlord?"

Fang Mian hesitated: "A little bit."

Fang Pei: "No."

Ye Youzhi asked again: "What about chess? You should know backgammon, right?"

Fang Mian: "Yes..."

Fang Pei said loudly: "No!"

"Okay." Ye Youzhi raised his hands in surrender, "Let's watch a movie."

Fang Pei hummed softly: "Yes."

So before 8 o'clock, three people and one dog sat down on the sofa in the small home theater upstairs and began to choose the movie to watch next.

"What kind of movie do you want to watch?" Ye Youzhi twitched his sweet chin with one hand, and flipped through the catalog with the remote control with the other. Fang Mian followed the projection screen on the wall to watch all the way, and found that there were indeed all kinds of movies.

"It's all right." Fang Mian said cautiously.

Ye Youzhi looked at Fang Pei beside him: "What do you want to see, brother?"

"3D." Fang Pei sat between Ye Youzhi and Fang Mian, with his hands crossed in front of his chest, his back straight.He remembered the movie that Fang Mian took him to watch in the cinema before, and added, "Scary."

Ye Youzhi said, "What about zombie movies? I have Resident Evil here."

Fang Pei opened his mouth and said, "Okay."

Fang Mian hurriedly stopped: "No, zombie movies are too bloody, aren't they?"

Fang Peigener didn't know what a zombie movie was, but he was so frightened to shrink into Fang Mian's arms watching a gunfight movie, what zombie movie could he watch?

"Hmm..." Ye Youzhi continued to control the remote control, "That's the ghost movie, how about The Conjuring, there aren't many bloody scenes, it's just as scary."

Fang Pei: "Okay."

"Not good!" Fang Mian glared at Fang Pei secretly, "Let's watch something else, one that celebrates the Chinese New Year, something lively and happy? For example, a movie with small animals?"

Two minutes later, the three of them watched "Zootopia" while chewing potato chips with 2D eyes.

It was the first time for Fang Pei to watch this kind of animal anthropomorphic 3D movie. Although he had already shown restraint in outsiders' homes, Fang Mian could still see his excitement from his sitting posture.

Fang Mian only watched this cartoon once when it first came out, and he had almost forgotten the plot, so it doesn't look boring anymore, but what about Ye Youzhi?Is he willing to watch cartoons with them too?

Fang Mian was very uneasy watching this movie, he had to carefully hide his interlocking hands with Fang Pei, and occasionally pay attention to Ye Youzhi to see if he fell asleep.

But Ye Youzhi has been watching movies seriously, and only went out once at the beginning, bringing a beer up.After both Fang Mian and Fang Pei said they would not drink, he quietly ate potato chips and drank beer by himself, taking out his phone from time to time to scan, as if he was waiting for someone's news.

When the movie was halfway through, Fang Mian noticed something strange about Fang Pei. He was sitting very unsteadily, changing his sitting position every once in a while, his buttocks twisting and turning.

"What's wrong? What's wrong?" Fang Mian whispered against his ear.

Fang Pei said coyly, "I want to go to the toilet..."

Ye Youzhi heard it and said, "Go out and turn left, go straight and you will see it."

Fang Pei was silent for a long time, and the other party forced out a sentence: "You go with me."

Ye Youzhi laughed out loud: "Are you a little girl? You still have to go hand in hand with your brother when you go to the restroom?"

Fang Mian laughed dryly, and spoke for Fang Pei: "He doesn't know the way."

"That's fine, I'll take him there." Ye Youzhi took off his glasses.

Fang Pei was angry: "No, I'll go by myself!" Before leaving, he pushed Fang Mian towards the edge of the sofa to keep him away from Ye Youzhi on the other side.

After Fang Pei left, Ye Youzhi paused the movie, and the other party smiled and said, "Your brother is too clingy, you two have such a good relationship."

Fang Mian could only laugh dryly. Fang Pei's behavior looked really weird to outsiders. He anxiously waited for Ye Youzhi to ask more questions, but Ye Youzhi just looked down at his phone.

"Is that friend of yours still here?" Fang Mian noticed his movements.

"Who knows, just leave him alone." Ye Youzhi put the phone aside, touched Tiantian lying at his feet, chatted with Fang Mian about the plot of the movie, then opened a can of beer and asked, "Drink ?"

Fang Mian shook his head, and inadvertently glanced at Ye Youzhi's feet, where there were four empty cans lying there.
