Life is bloody eight o'clock

Xu Douxiao returned to the city by train on Thursday afternoon.Like all men with ulterior motives, he uncontrollably lied about his itinerary while feeling guilty, sneaked away from the meeting, and drove to the downstairs of his ex.

After moving back from Yuan Ben, he ran here every day after work. Although he couldn't go upstairs, the familiarity of "coming home from work and someone cooking" still brought him secret comfort and happiness. Like a child who couldn't control himself, Yuan Ben was like a fire on the stove that his parents had forbidden to touch when he was a child. It was warm and bright, and it would burst into blisters when he touched it.

"I don't need to touch it." Xu Douxiao thought. "I can keep a certain distance and get close to him infinitely, but if I don't touch him, I can just enjoy the warmth."

But feelings are very addictive, just like drinking. At the beginning, one drink before going to bed will make you sleepy, and then two or three glasses. When you react, you want to experience the erratic, drowsy, The warm happiness already needs to drink two bottles.

Xu Douxiao is now that alcoholic who drinks too much without knowing it, driving downstairs and sitting there watching the light in the window is no longer enough for him.

"I'm just visiting an old friend." He advised his conscience. "Besides, this is my house. It's okay to see the tenant. I have no illusions that he will cook for me, and I have no illusions about staying. overnight."

"That's what happened." Xu Douxiao said to himself in the mirror, the reflection in the mirror straightened his tie and nodded to him.

He honed his opening line over and over in the elevator.

"Hey, Yuan Ben." It was too casual.

"Long time no see, I'm here to see you." Too deliberate.

"How is it? Are you still used to living here?" It's so fake, the decoration of the house was done by Yuan Ben.

In the end, he decided to see the trick, relying entirely on intuition.

The elevator quickly arrived at the 16th floor. When the door opened, Tong Ling who was frowning coldly, Ning Jun with an ugly face, and Yuan Ben came into view.

He was obviously overwhelmed by an unpredictable door-to-door visit, with drooping thick eyebrows and thin eyes, and pursed thin lips, as embarrassing as he could be.

From Xu Douxiao's point of view, it was as pitiful as it could be.

Xu Douxiao, who had been thinking wildly since the day of the reunion, became passionate for a moment, and rushed between Yuan Ben and Ning Jun like a fighter defending the love in the world. For the first time, he turned coldly at Ning Jun: "What are you doing?"

What are you doing?Tong Ling was blown away by his scumbag's righteous attitude of defending the mistress, and raised her hand to give him a slap, but Ning Jun was faster, and the little girl who weighed less than [-] catties swung a thousand catties of strength, The applause was crisp and loud, echoing in the corridor.

After slapping her hand, she turned and left, leaving the men where they were.

Yuan Ben was stunned: "What's the situation?"

Xu Douxiao turned around and asked him, "Are you okay? They didn't do anything to you, did they?"

Yuan Ben: "I just opened the door and didn't say a word, let alone what the two girls can do to me."

Xu Douxiao: "That's good, that's good."

Yuan Ben: "No, Xu Douxiao, what's going on, why did she beat you?"

Xu Douxiao didn't say a word. He thought that Ning Jun knew all his secrets just now because of his guilty conscience and the scene was too typical. When he thought about it, he didn't quite understand what happened.

"I do not know."

Yuan Ben: "What are you still doing here? Hurry up and ask."

Xu Douxiao didn't move, he found the burning pain on his face when he calmed down, he said aggrievedly: "My face hurts."

Yuan Ben looked at him for a while, can it not hurt?Five finger marks were imprinted on his face, and half of his face was swollen. It was hard to tell that there was such a great power in Ning Jun's small body, so he sighed: "Come in and apply an ice pack first."

Xu Douxiao finally got his wish and stepped into Yuan Ben's "home" again. Although it was for an absurd reason, he looked at the crooked pillows on the sofa in the living room, the books casually thrown on the coffee table and the carpet, the kitchen peninsula. With the red wine on the table, I felt that the little addiction in my heart was appeased.

He sat by the dining table and watched Yuan Ben take out an ice pack from the refrigerator, wrapped it in a towel and handed it to him.

"I was too lazy to throw away the ice pack brought by Jingxi Fresh last time, and it will come in handy now."

"Thank you."

"What's the matter with you?" Yuan Ben leaned on the edge of the table and asked with arms folded. He suddenly remembered his position and changed his words again, "If you don't want to say it, then don't say it."

"I don't know either." Xu Douxiao said vaguely, half of his face was numb from the cold.

Yuan Ben thought for a while: "Is it because I live here? I can move..."

"No!" Xu Douxiao didn't want to hear him mention the words, "Maybe it's because I didn't tell her about the house."

Yuan Ben was about to be laughed angrily by him: "You haven't said it yet? Let people look it up by themselves? Xu Douxiao, what's going on in your clever little head? Do you know how sensitive people are to property? It is directly linked to trust. What do you make people think?"

"I was wrong, I was wrong. I have already been taught a lesson." Xu Douxiao showed him the redness and swelling on his face pitifully, "I was on a business trip two days ago, so I can't send a message about it. "

"I don't think you think you are wrong. You were so arrogant just now." Yuan Ben thought for a while, "Is there something else?"

Xu Douxiao's stomach gurgled, he tossed and turned for the past two days, he couldn't eat well, he couldn't sleep well, he rushed all the way back from other places and didn't come to eat dinner in a hurry, his body began to protest.

"Didn't eat?"

Xu Douxiao: "No."

"Only leftovers are reprocessed, whether to eat or not."

"eat."

Yuan Ben turned around and went into the kitchen to cook. Xu Douxiao took off his coat and tie, leaned on the sofa, held an ice bag in one hand, and hugged a pillow in the other, watching Yuan Ben busy in the kitchen. He was wearing a Marvel T-shirt with plaid. Pajama pants, long and messy, looking lazy and fluffy, Xu Douxiao used to like to tease him when he was cooking, hugging him from behind, like a koala, now He no longer has this right, so he can only look across the peninsula.This dislocation of time and space made him both satisfied and uncomfortable.

Xu Douxiao was hungry, so Yuan Ben didn't plan to do anything complicated. There was sliced ​​bread left over from the morning in the refrigerator. Sprinkle with shredded mozzarella cheese, send it to the oven, and you will be lazy pizza when you open it.

Then he poured two bowls of water into the leftover rice from lunch and broke it into porridge. When the rice cooker was working, he took out a few shrimps from the freezer.

He bathed the prawns, blotted the water with kitchen paper, cut off the prawn heads, split the prawns in half from the middle, and carefully picked out the prawn threads.

Marinate the shrimp meat with salt and cooking wine, then take out a pan and throw the shrimp heads into the frying oil.The crackling oil brings out the essence of the shrimp head.

His hands are steady and he arranges every step in an orderly manner.But his heart was already messed up.

This matter was not handled properly from the beginning, he thought that time would dilute everything, but the facts proved that he underestimated the importance of the past in their lives, today's matter is definitely not as simple as Xu Douxiao said, but He didn't have the position to ask deeply. What did he ask?

Is it because of me?

You better keep your mouth shut.Yuan Ben took the ginger on the chopping board as his own thoughts, and chopped it into pieces with a knife. He poured the marinated shrimp meat and shrimp oil into the boiled porridge, covered the pot and simmered for 3 minutes on low heat. Throwing minced ginger into the pot, the kitchen was suddenly enveloped by the mellowness of fresh rice with shrimp meat and the spiciness of ginger, coaxing Xu Douxiao to feel very comfortable.

He felt that he had returned to the time when he first settled in this city. He had just bought a house and bought a car. The pressure of getting a loan was not small, but it was not as happy as having a family and a job.

He got off work late, and when he came back, Yuan Ben's dinner was almost finished, so he leaned on the peninsula in the kitchen to chat with him, and ate the prepared meal secretly.

When the food was on the table, they shared what they had seen and heard while eating.Xu Douxiao's work revolves around computers, except programming is programming, while Yuan Ben's work is more complicated and more fun.

He ran around with the department leaders all day long, read some messy books and materials according to the needs of his work, went to many strange places, and met many people from all walks of life.Every time he came back from get off work, he always brought a full stomach of stories.

"That boss is so funny today." Yuan Ben picked up a chopsticks dish for Xu Douxiao, "He is engaged in design, but I don't know what kind of thing he is. The Fujian accent is a bit heavy. He came back from studying abroad to make Quite a few items.

He was already a billionaire at the age of 25. He said that when he was in his thirties, he was the most enthusiastic about work in his life. He didn't think about anything, money or fame, but just wanted to work.

Oh my god, if I have 25 million at the age of 30, and I don't think about anything at the age of [-], what else can I think about. "

"There are still a lot of things to think about. Look at Gu Yue." Xu Douxiao liked to listen to his nonsense the most, and looked at him with bright eyes. "Recently, he is chasing a writer."

"Why does he always chase after this kind of thing that is so different from himself?" Yuan Ben disagreed, "Can't Yang Siqi's example make him wake up? The literary talk is really not suitable for him."

"Would it be?" Xu Douxiao was noncommittal, "The contrast between the two of us is quite big, isn't it good?"

"That's different." Yuan Ben looked at him with a smile, "You look good."

"Is it just good-looking?"

"Gentle, considerate, and able to make money." Yuan Ben counted the advantages of his boyfriend, "The most important thing is that I like you. Even if you don't know who Tang Xianzu is, I still like you."

"I know who Tang Xianzu is." Xu Douxiao protested, "As for the Peony Pavilion, I don't know where it started, and it goes deeper and deeper."

"Oh my God, it's over, I can't do without you even more." Yuan Ben crossed the table and kissed him, "I love you to death."

Xu Douxiao ate Yuan Benzhun's seafood porridge and lazy pizza, and felt a little sad. Now I know not only Peony Pavilion, but also The West Chamber, but you have left me long ago. No one asked me how warm the porridge was, and no one accompanied me It was late at night.
