withered lover

Du Zhinian tossed and tossed with Shen Guiwan sticky all night, and when he finished packing and was about to go to bed, it was less than two hours before dawn.

He originally wanted to take Shen Guiwan to play together after waking up, but the two who had said "safe and smooth" the night before fell ill together the next day.

Du Zhinian's eyes hurt so badly that he could only open them a little. While sniffing, Shen Guiwan took a bottle of soda water from the refrigerator, wrapped it in a towel and applied ice to Du Zhinian.

He kicked the quilt to the ground last night, and his body was wet again. When he got up from the quilt at noon, he sneezed several times, and when he talked to Du Zhinian, he had a nasal voice.

Shen Guiwan finished getting the soda for Du Zhinian, then went to the kitchen to make a cup of granule.

The granule was sweet with a bit of bitterness, he frowned and finished drinking it, but the warm elixir poured into his stomach, Shen Guiwan suddenly felt a little hungry.

He put the cup into the dishwasher, found lean meat and ginger from the refrigerator, cut it into thin strips and put it in an electric stew pot with washed raw rice.

The electric cooker was turned on in automatic mode, and it took at least an hour to make it ready. Shen Guiwan started to feel sleepy after drinking the medicine.

He adjusted the timer, stepped on his slippers and went back to the bedroom, lying down with Du Zhinian, whose eyes hurt so badly that he couldn't keep his eyes open.

The two of them felt uncomfortable, and they fell asleep after lying down for a long time. When they opened their eyes again, the smell of porridge with minced ginger and minced pork had already drifted into the bedroom from the kitchen.

Du Zhinian applied ice for a while before, and now the pain in his eyes subsided, but he still felt a slight discomfort when he blinked. Seeing that the dinner was clear porridge, he didn't dare to add chili sauce to it, and honestly followed Shen Gui to drink it Porridge.

After dinner, Du Zhinian dragged Shen Guiwan back to his bedroom to watch the replay of the Spring Festival Gala.

Familiar faces were projected on the projection screen, and the noisy sound of the skit mixed with the audience's exaggerated laughter echoed in the bedroom, and there was an occasional sniffling sound.

Shen Guiwan was even more afraid of the cold after catching a cold, and curled up in Du Zhinian's arms.

Du Zhinian turned up the temperature of the fireplace and air conditioner, and made Shen Guiwan his favorite fruit tea. Shen Guiwan held the cup and sipped it, staring at the hot air exuding the fragrance of sweet orange.

The Spring Festival Gala was still playing on the curtain, but Shen Guiwan lacked interest, and Du Zhinian felt bored after watching it for a while, so he switched the screen to the movie channel before the skit was over.

However, after watching the movie for less than half an hour, Shen Guiwan fell asleep leaning on Du Zhinian's chest after drinking hot tea.

Du Zhinian touched Shen Guiwan's smooth neck, turned off the projector without thinking, and rolled up the quilt tightly with his arms to sleep.

Shen Guiwan's cold was not serious, but his body hadn't healed yet, and the minor cold dragged on for many days without healing.

Unfortunately, during the Spring Festival, there was another big drop in temperature. The temperature was getting lower and lower every day. From the window, there was a vast expanse of whiteness everywhere. Du Zhinian didn't dare to take him out for a walk.

Du Zhinian stays at home with Shen Guiwan, sometimes the two of them stay together in the study, he is busy with his work, Shen Guiwan sits on the carpet in the study and reads a book, or holds the computer to watch the old TV series. Movie.

Shen Guiwan doesn't have many entertainment activities at home, most of the time he stays quietly in the corner of the study or bedroom, and doesn't eagerly pester Du Zhinian to ask him to do something with him.

But he stayed by Du Zhinian's side all the time, Du Zhinian didn't even need to look up, he could see him as long as he looked away from the computer screen.

Shen Guiwan always sat on the floor, Du Zhinian was afraid that the old carpet would be too hard and hurt him, so when he went to the supermarket to buy, he bought two long-haired carpets, and spread them in the corner of the bedroom and study where Shen Guiwan often sat.

The plush rug was soft and warm, although Shen Guiwan didn't say anything, but the second day after he bought it, he sat on it and refused to get up.

Du Zhinian could see that he liked it very much, so he directly replaced all the old carpets in the house with new ones during the second purchase.

Shen Guiwan's Spring Festival was uneventful, but Du Zhinian would occasionally go out late at night or early in the morning, sometimes for emergency surgery at the hospital, and sometimes for other reasons.

Before he left, he would tell Shen Guiwan not to wait for him, and Shen Guiwan would obediently obediently respond, and then wait for him in the apartment, until Du Zhinian came back, and then lay down on the bed and hugged him to sleep.

This state lasted until the sixth day of the first lunar month. On the last day of Du Zhinian's long-lost vacation, Shen Guiwan finally recovered from his cold.

During this period of time, Du Zhinian hardly went out except for shopping and work. He was so bored at home that he was about to grow mushrooms.

Now that Shen Guiwan's cold got better, he immediately booked movie tickets for the New Year's Eve, and took Shen Guiwan out for a walk.

On the last day of the Spring Festival holiday, the city center is bustling again.

After a long visit to relatives and friends, the young couple stepped on the tail of the long vacation to go out on a date. As a result, movie tickets for the Lunar New Year stalls became very popular. Du Zhinian took a long time to find one, and it was the last row of the most corner couple seat .

It is very difficult to see the screen from that position, the picture is almost tilted, the original surround sound effect has become a unilateral reverberation, and the viewing experience is very poor.

However, Du Zhinian didn't take Shen Guiwan out to watch a movie, it was just the most reasonable reason out of thousands of reasons, not to mention that the Lunar New Year movie was ugly, and it was hard to see people around him chatting.

The surrounding environment is noisy, but it doesn't affect him kissing Shen Guiwan.

Du Zhinian pressed Shen Guiwan on the back of the lover's seat, biting Shen Guiwan's lips lightly, the two of them clasped their fingers together, their palms tightly pressed together.

Shen Guiwan hugged Du Zhinian's shoulders, his lips were bitten red, shining wetly in the dim cinema.

Du Zhinian leaned over to deepen the kiss just now, but Shen Guiwan's short breath brushed against his face, tickling his heart.

The images on the screen in the distance were still jumping non-stop, and the flash of light fell on Shen Guiwan's face, illuminating those clean eyes even brighter.

Du Zhinian bit Shen Guiwan's lips, and after a brief entanglement, he suddenly said in a low voice: "I have to go to work tomorrow, come with me to the bar for a drink later."

"En." Shen Guiwan had a shallow monotone in his throat, held his face in Du Zhinian's warm hand, and kissed the corner of his upturned lips.

After the movie ended, Du Zhinian and Shen Guiwan went to the bar.

He didn't take Shen Guiwan to the bar where they met a few times ago, but found a craft beer bar closer to the apartment.

The owner of the beer hall was an old man with dreadlocks and braids. He was sitting at the bar drinking and chatting with his wife. When the two saw Du Zhinian bringing someone over, they quickly vacated the bar.

The wall behind the bar is covered with blackboards with the names of various beers written in chalk. Below the blackboards are rows of silver pipes with numbers marked on each pipe. Glass beer mug.

Du Zhinian led Shen Guiwan to sit in the vacant seat vacated by the boss, and greeted the boss familiarly.

"It's been a long time since I saw you come to the store. What do you want to drink?" The boss asked, but he had already poured two small glasses of beer in his hand.

"It's still the same." Du Zhinian smiled, "I want another cup of hot beer."

The boss had been curious about the relationship between this handsome young man and Du Zhinian ever since he saw them entering the door hand in hand. He could vaguely feel the delicate atmosphere between the two of them, but he was too embarrassed to ask directly.

Now he heard Du Zhiqing ordering wine for him familiarly, he couldn't help but take another look at Shen Guiwan.

Shen Guiwan was staring up at the blackboard on the wall, when he heard Du Zhinian ordering hot beer for himself, when he turned his head, he smelled the warm aroma of beer mixed with the smell of sweet orange.

He followed the source of the smell. The proprietress behind the bar was cooking something in a small black round pot with a spoon, and sweet orange and apple slices could be seen in the bubbling pot.

Shen Guiwan looked at the small pot behind the bar, a gleam of light flashed in his eyes, and the boss who was looking at him raised his eyebrows unexpectedly.

"Don't look, it's mine." Du Zhinian buttoned the solid wood table, "Remember to put two more slices of sweet orange and apple for him."

"Tsk tsk tsk -" the boss grinned and shook his head, his face was full of disgust, but he did not forget to pour the wine for Du Zhinian.

Du Zhinian's two glasses of wine were delivered quickly, and the boss specially filled them with the biggest glasses in the store because he was a regular customer.

The glass glass that was taller than Shen Guiwan's palm contained bubbling beer. The wine was soaked with boiled sweet orange slices, and a sprig of fresh rosemary was inserted on top.

The mulled beer is brewed with berry-infused beer and sweet orange apples. The warm beer exudes the aroma of sweet orange, but the color is light berry.

Shen Guiwan took a sip, the taste of the wine was a little heavy when he first took it in the mouth, it lingered on the tip of his tongue for a while and then turned into a refreshing and silky wine with sweet orange aroma, after drinking it his whole body warmed up.

He liked the taste, and he took a sip while listening to Du Zhinian chatting with the boss while holding a huge beer glass.

Du Zhinian hadn't seen the boss for a long time, and started talking after half a glass of wine. When he recovered, Shen Guiwan had already finished a whole glass of hot beer, not even letting go of the boiled apple slices.

"Have you finished drinking?" Du Zhinian looked at Shen Guiwan who was holding an empty glass in astonishment.

Shen Guiwan licked his lips, the sweetness of oranges still remained on it, "It's over."

The proprietress suddenly poked her head out from behind the bar, "Would you like another drink?"

Shen Guiwan drank a whole glass of beer, and his reaction was a little slow. Just about to nod, Du Zhinian hurriedly refused: "No! We have to go to work tomorrow, so let's go first." He picked up the coat that was put aside and put it on On Shen Guiwan's shoulders, helping him get off the high stool.

Shen Guiwan put on his coat slowly, followed Du Zhinian unsteadily towards the gate of the bar, and before leaving, he still waved to the proprietress behind the bar.

Du Zhinian led Shen Guiwan on the way home, Shen Guiwan drank a whole glass of hot beer, his hands were hot and soft, and he gently hooked his fingers while holding them.

The snow on the road was a bit thick, and it was inevitable to slip when stepping on it, but Shen Guiwan walked very steadily.

Du Zhinian squeezed his warm fingertips, his gaze swept across the snow on the ground, and a childish idea suddenly appeared in his alcohol-numbed head.

He let go of Shen Guiwan's hand, and when Shen Guiwan walked forward on his own, he quickly bent down and grabbed a small handful of snow, and squeezed it into a ball with all his strength.

The small snowball was squeezed very firmly, so Du Zhinian weighed it in his hand, then piled several layers of snow on it, making it into a fist-sized snowball.

He looked at Shen Guiwan who was walking away, and with a wave of his long arm, he threw the snowball in his hand towards Shen Guiwan.

The snowball was fluffy and fluffy, and it fell apart as soon as it was released from the hand. The thrown arc dragged a long snowflake tail and passed under the street lamp. The falling snow was submerged in the thick snow on the ground. Only the little bit of Du Zhinian's pinched snowball remained.

The little snowball "slapped" on the back of Shen Guiwan's head, scattered like exploding fireworks, and then the street fell into silence after the fireworks had burned out.

Du Zhinian held the freshly made snowball in his left hand, and was about to throw it out when Shen Guiwan turned around, but Shen Guiwan who was hit by the snowball staggered two steps forward, and fell straight on the snow.

He fell so easily that he even made a muffled sound when he fell into the snow, which scared Du Zhinian away and threw the snowball away.

"Shen Guiwan!"

Du Zhinian trotted over, knelt in the snow and helped Shen Guiwan up.

Shen Guiwan's whole face was buried in the snow, his eyelashes and hair were covered with thick snowflakes, Du Zhinian patted the snow off his face, and touched the back of his head, "Does it hurt?"

Du Zhinian anxiously patted Shen Guiwan's head to check if he was injured.

Shen Guiwan raised his head to look at Du Zhinian in a daze as if he had been knocked into a daze, and after a few seconds, he suddenly put his head on Du Zhinian's shoulder.

Du Zhinian shivered in fright, but Shen Guiwan, who was lying in his arms, called softly: "Du Zhinian."

"What's wrong?" Du Zhinian put his arms around Shen Guiwan and patted off the snow on his body, "Does it hurt anywhere?"

Shen Guiwan was quiet for a while, then said vaguely: "I'm sleepy."

The movements of Du Zhinian's hands froze, he looked at Shen Guiwan and asked uncertainly, "Are you sleepy?"

"Yeah." Shen Guiwan nodded, "I want to sleep."

His eyes were bright, but his eyes were slack, his face was flushed with drunkenness, and he was staggeringly leaning on Du Zhinian, unable to stand steadily.

Du Zhinian's brows that were originally frowned due to nervousness relaxed, and he knelt down helplessly in front of Shen Guiwan, "Come up, I'll carry you back."

Shen Guiwan obediently lay down on Du Zhinian's back, holding Du Zhinian firmly with his arms and legs. After he stood up, he let out a very soft "huh hum", as if he was squeezing from his chest. A little dissatisfaction came out.

Du Zhinian walked home on the snow with Shen Guiwan on his back.

The chill of the late night in early spring seeped in through the snow, Du Zhinian's feet were numb from the cold, but his neck and cheeks were scorching hot, Shen Guiwan fell asleep lying on his back, the heat from his breath fell on his chest On the neck and shoulders, it got in along the collar.

The bar was not far from the apartment. Du Zhinian walked slowly with Shen Guiwan on his back, but within 3 minutes of walking, he saw the apartment building with lights on.

Shen Guiwan slept soundly, her long eyelashes trembling slightly in the wind, the cheeks on the side of her shoulder were squeezed together, showing a lovely expression.

Du Zhinian saw it through the glass of the elevator, raised his hand to poke it, Shen Guiwan snorted uncomfortably, and rubbed against his shoulder again.

Shen Guiwan looked very good when he was asleep, Du Zhinian looked at it for a while, then took out his phone before the elevator stopped, switched to selfie mode and took a picture on his shoulder.

The camera fixed Shen Guiwan's sleeping face on the phone. Du Zhinian smiled and zoomed in on the photo to observe the expression on Shen Guiwan's face, and then hid the photo in the hidden album before getting out of the elevator. There was no sound during the whole process. Shen Guiwan on his shoulder fell asleep unconsciously, not knowing that his sleeping appearance was secretly photographed.

But even if he knew, Du Zhinian would not delete that photo.
