After getting on with the enemy

The comfort is only here, and there is nothing more.

Qiao Yan was not good at talking about these things, and was afraid of saying the wrong thing, so he kept his mouth shut and didn't speak casually.Now she is more self-conscious than anyone else, she doesn't bother Zhou Xiyun, she doesn't tease Zhou Xiyun anymore, and when she realizes that something is not going right, she is honest and has great eyesight.

After packing up the luggage, the suitcases and backpacks were pushed into the bottom of the cabinet for storage.

Zhou Xiyun took out all the documents and piled them beside the bed, but didn't put them all away.It looks like it will be used tonight, and it may be necessary to work overnight to prepare for work tomorrow or some other day.

Qiao Yan glanced at him, but didn't ask.She hurriedly took care of it, went out to bring a set of toiletries, and replaced all the towels and bathrobes with new ones. Even the hand sanitizer in the bathroom was unopened. Get it over with.

After finishing everything upstairs, they went down together and went to the kitchen to cook and fill their stomachs.

The living conditions in the small villa are not as rich as those in the West Well Courtyard. Qiao Yan is not very good at daily management. He buys tea, rice, oil and salt randomly. The ingredients of the dishes to eat at night are also mixed. Order from the app, regardless of the quantity, just buy one copy.

The refrigerator is a mess, full of all kinds of green leafy vegetables and fish milk eggs.I bought it because there were more people in the house, otherwise tonight I would have another meal of fried egg and ham sausage with instant noodles, or order takeaway with my eyes closed.

After Zhou Xiyun opened the refrigerator, he stopped for a moment, looked at it for a while, and asked, "Can you finish eating this much?"

Qiao Yan didn't have the nerve to say that she bought them all in the afternoon, so she stepped forward calmly and tore off the receipt from the plastic bag for the vegetables, crumpled them up and threw them into the trash can, preventing Zhou Xiyun from finding out the truth.

"I brought some at home, and I bought some more these two days, so I didn't pay much attention." She said, not admitting that it was for the other party, with a calm face, "Anyway, it can be stored in the fresh-keeping room for two more days, and the meat can also be thrown away. In the freezer, it should not go bad for ten days and half a month."

Picking out a few from the refrigerator, Zhou Xiyun said, "Buy less next time, it will be a waste." Qiao Yan responded, "I will try my best." "What do you want to eat?" "Anything is fine, I won't pick."

Zhou Xiyun asked: "Spicy fish fillet or winter melon fish ball soup?"

She immediately ordered: "Fish belly and back meat are used to make meatballs, and the head and tail can be stewed with green peppers." This is how it is made at home. Grandma's special skill, the two of them often ate it when they were young.

Zhou Xiyun agreed, "Where's the beef, fried?"

Qiao Yan said, "Boil it in water."

The two of them settled after a few questions and answers. Zhou Xiyun is serious and not picky eaters. Qiao Yan is demanding. This dish should be light, and that dish should be heavy. If there is meat and vegetables, there must be a soup. More picky than going into a restaurant.

Zhou Xiyun asked her to wash the vegetables and help out.She put on her apron and did as she did. She would peel the garlic and pick the onion after a while, and when she was done, she would unwrap the strawberry bouquets on the coffee table in the living room one by one, peel them out and put them in the fruit bowl, and take them to the sink for washing.

Strawberries are sweet and juicy, bright red in color, and relatively large in size, almost double the size of ordinary strawberries.

This thing can't be kept for a long time, and it will become smashed if it is slightly bumped, but every one that was removed from the bouquet is intact, and the shape is very beautiful.Obviously, the person who gave this item put a lot of effort into it, at least he was very sincere, not the kind who just spend a little money and settle the matter.

Qiao Yan didn't ask whether it was left over after Wen Ruyu didn't want it, and didn't bother to ask the one next to her, so she put one in her mouth after washing it.It's delicious, sweeter than what Xu Ziqing and the others bought.Qiao Yan only finished one in three mouthfuls, and asked Zhou Xiyun softly after eating, "Do you want one?"

Zhou Xiyun was marinating the meat with gloves on, and replied: "Put it on the table, come here when you are free."

Qiao Yan directly fed one to the man's mouth, "It will soften after a long time, try it first."

Zhou Xiyun took a small bite and lowered his head slightly.

Qiao Yan stayed by the side until the feeding was over, and then continued to eat strawberries casually.

"Which store did you buy it from?" Qiao Yan asked.

Zhou Xiyun opened fire and said: "There is no city A, it was airlifted from other places."

Qiao Yan killed another one, pretending not to notice, and said inarticulately: "Oh, the person who chased after Boss Wen is quite powerful and has a heart." Zhou Xiyun raised his eyelids, looked at her, and said in a gentle voice: " The oil will be on immediately, and the smoke will be heavy, so I will go out after washing the dishes." Qiao Yan reached out and turned on the hood, unwilling to leave.

The whole cooking process took no more than two hours, and before eight o'clock, four dishes, one soup and a plate of fruit were placed on the table.Qiao Yan was active in cooking, and filled the rice three times in a row, until he didn't even want to leave the table.

Zhou Xiyun's appetite was poor, and there was not a single grain left after the meal, but he didn't use his chopsticks to pick up vegetables after sitting down.After putting down the bowl, Zhou Xiyun did not leave the table immediately, but silently stayed by his side.

Qiao Yan concentrated on the bowl, and when he was almost done eating, he pushed the fruit plate towards the other side.Zhou Xiyun took one strawberry symbolically, but didn't touch the rest.

The two of them chatted from time to time during this period.

It's doing nothing.

Zhou Xiyun's cell phone was placed on the corner of the table, the screen turned on several times in a row, there were WeChat messages and SMS messages, and there was an incoming call in between.Zhou Xiyun didn't answer and turned a blind eye to him.

The note on the caller ID is Zhou Huiwen.

Qiao Yan saw it and thought he was blind.Don't be curious, don't ask.

Something must have happened between the mother and daughter, maybe it was just because of the birthday party yesterday, maybe it was another temporary irreconcilable conflict, anyway, it was not as simple as it appeared on the surface.

Qiao Yan is familiar with the Zhou family, and knows what kind of temper and people Zhou Xiyun and Zhou Huiwen are. Over the years, they seldom get into fights. Zhou Huiwen is also an equal and open-minded mother who has always raised her children with all her heart and never used sticks to educate her. She has always talked openly and honestly.If they broke up, there must be a big problem, not a small fight.

The Zhou family is not like the Qiao family. Qiao Yan has been dealt with by Xu Ziqing and grandparents since she was able to crawl on the ground. She makes troubles all day long, and her skin is itchy when she is not flattered. She usually does not get angry for more than half a day when she quarrels with her elders. He rolled back to Xu Ziqing and confessed his mistake. He was so noisy that he would never move out of the Xijing compound, and he had never even run away from home.

She doesn't have the ambition to do such a thing.Ms. Xu didn't allow it either. If she found out that she had run away from home, she would probably be so angry that she would pick up a stick and break her legs.

Qiao Yan was drinking soup from a bowl, and peeked at Zhou Xiyun sideways.

Zhou Xiyun didn't bother with her phone when she went to wash the dishes at the table, as if it wasn't hers, but an unchanging ornament.

Qiao Yan didn't go into the kitchen again this time, and gave the other party some space to calm down, and stayed in the living room folding pillows and watching TV by himself.

Later, Qiao Yanzhen called Zhou Huiwen, avoiding Zhou Xiyun.It's not that Zhou Xiyun will know, but some things are difficult to say in the house. If V accidentally overhears it, it will probably be very embarrassing.

Zhou Xiyun went upstairs to take a bath, and had already entered the house.

Qiao Yan squatted on the side of the road, anxiously dialed Zhou Huiwen's number, pretended to ask how Aunt Zhou was doing tonight, and then apologized for leaving in the middle of yesterday.

He didn't mention Zhou Xiyun at all, and didn't say anything about it.

Zhou Huiwen didn't blame her either, she was still kind and gentle on the other end of the phone, she also didn't mention Zhou Xiyun, and only cared about Qiao Yan herself.

Zhou Huiwen's mood is very stable, as usual, she keeps her emotions hidden, keeping everything in her heart, and does not teach outsiders to notice the clues.If Zhou Huiwen's voice hadn't sounded weird and hoarse, as if he had cried a lot, Qiao Yan really wouldn't have felt that something had happened.

Qiao Yan didn't know how to speak, and swallowed the words again.Because it is very rare, it is difficult to be caught in the middle.

Zhou Huiwen didn't blame others, and didn't say a single serious word.

It is estimated that that matter is only related to Zhou Xiyun, and has nothing to do with anything else.

In the end, Qiao Yan didn't mention Zhou Xiyun, and took it lightly, so as not to make Zhou Huiwen sad again.

The phone call lasted just over two minutes.

Zhou Huiwen hung up in a low mood and wanted to rest earlier.Qiao Yan stood on the side of the road for a while before walking back. He originally wanted to talk to Zhou Xiyun, but he gave up so far.

Since it is an internal problem of the Zhou family, let the two involved communicate and solve it by themselves. Outsiders intervening will only make the situation worse, and they are not allowed to do bad things with good intentions.

Qiao Yan took two glasses of water and went up, knocked on the door outside the room on the second floor, and went in after getting an answer.She shook the glass at Zhou Xiyun, and lied brightly: "I poured two glasses of water, I can't finish drinking too much, here's a glass for you."

Zhou Xiyun put down the materials and came over to continue.

"Working so late?" Qiao Yan asked, tiptoeing to look behind the man.

Zhou Xiyun said: "It's not too late, go to bed at eleven o'clock."

"It's fine, then I won't bother you, finish it early and don't stay up late." Qiao Yan said awkwardly, biting the soft flesh on the inside of her lip, and softly tested, "I'll go first, see you tomorrow?"

Zhou Xiyun raised his forehead and watched her go back to the room.

Tonight is not a good time, it is more suitable to be alone, instead of staring at each other, and it is not appropriate to hug each other.It's all so serious, who still has that mood.

Qiao Yan entered the room and gently closed the door.

Zhou Xiyun didn't look away until the shadow was gone, and turned back slowly.

The bright light is stimulating, and the white light is uncomfortable, making the whole room more empty, lonely and desolate, echoing the endless dark night outside the window.

The documents on the bedside were picked up again, and they were read page by page.

Zhou Xiyun was neither sleepy nor sleepy, and needed to find something to distract himself.

This night is oppressive and boring, heavy like a solid boulder, making it hard to breathe, even breathing is uncomfortable.

Qiao Yan, who was lying on the bed, couldn't fall asleep for a long time, tossing and turning for two or three hours.As an outsider, she was very affected, she couldn't calm down, she was always thinking about something, opening and closing her eyes was only a matter of tonight, as if there were ants crawling on her body, every nerve was tortured.

Zhou Xiyun's appearance is really... what can't be solved, no matter how strong he is with Zhou Huiwen, he won't back down until he reaches this point.

Qiao Yan tried his best to get sleepy, but after a while, it suddenly occurred to his mind that Zhou Xiyun and Zhou Huiwen seemed to have had a cold war before, and they quarreled for no reason.

At that time, Zhou Xiyun was still studying at University A. It seemed to be the first year of college. It was the first semester of college. In short, it was like now. After a conflict with Zhou Huiwen, he would not go back to Xijing Compound. I stayed at school and went to the library, and I didn’t even come home to turn around and admit my mistake. I didn’t even charge the living expenses at home, and I would rather work part-time by myself.

Qiao Yan still doesn't know the cause and effect. He only happened to meet Zhou Huiwen on the phone with Zhou Xiyun, and said "hereditary news of the present world" into the phone, which was totally crooked.

Later, the mother and daughter had almost no contact with each other, and there was a tendency to sever the relationship.Xu Ziqing and grandma couldn't stand it anymore, and felt that it was not easy for Zhou Huiwen to be a single mother raising a daughter, so they found Qiao Yan and asked her, a peer of the same age, to go to University A to persuade Zhou Xiyun.

How could Qiao Yan be persuaded? He didn't know what to ask, and he didn't know anything. However, under the pressure of Ms. Xu, he still shyly went. He wandered around the bookstore where Zhou Xiyun worked part-time, and sneaked to A University Financial Center. They were taking classes, pretending to meet each other by chance, and every time they brought a bag of food and drink with them, making excuses to give to Zhou Xiyun, for fear that Miss Zhou would starve to death while wandering away.

Of course, at that time Zhou Xiyun didn't appreciate her charity, seeing that someone was out of shape all day long and looking for trouble with a playful face, he told him to go back where he came from.

But Qiao Yan was stunned, and when he got anxious, he wanted to slap the bread in Zhou Xiyun's face, but he was worried about being nagged by Ms. Xu and the others if he couldn't complete the task, so he endured it.

Zhou Xiyun was difficult to deal with that year. There were a few times when Qiao Yan carried things over, but he couldn't find anyone anywhere. Even when he was in class, Zhou Xiyun asked for leave for "something" and couldn't even see anyone.

I did see it later, but Zhou Xiyun thought the bread was unpalatable, so he turned his face down after taking a bite. Seeing that the bread had already expired, he thought that Qiao Yan came here to humiliate him on purpose.

——God knows how wronged Qiao Yan was. It was clearly Zhou Xiyun who hid himself, which caused the bread not to be delivered in time, so it took a long time for it to expire. Qiao Yan didn't notice it.

Later, Zhou Xiyun still accepted the food and milk tea that Qiao Yan sent, but he still did not bow to Zhou Huiwen to show weakness.

Qiao Yan asked the reason, but Zhou Xiyun refused to let go, and would not tell the details no matter what.Qiao Yan didn't make fun of himself, he didn't care too much at that time, it's fine if this person doesn't say anything, he doesn't want to put a hot face on a cold ass.

The stalemate lasted for two months, so long that others thought that Zhou Xiyun was going to start his own family and take charge of the family ahead of time, but in the end it ended with the reconciliation of mother and daughter, and no one mentioned those old things since then.

For no reason, Qiao Yan felt that these two incidents should be related, or something similar, probably because he encountered the same predicament again.

Every family has scriptures that are difficult to recite, and some problems are difficult to determine accurately. If you can't get used to it, it will always be a sharp thorn. If you don't pull it out completely, you will be stabbed in the future.

Unable to fall asleep on the left and right, the more he thought about it, the more awake he became. Qiao Yan sat up, leaned against the head of the bed and thought for a long time, then reached for his phone to check the time.In a blink of an eye, it was early morning again, and it has been so long.

She lifted the quilt and got out of bed, put on her slippers, walked to the door without any hesitation, went to the opposite side, turned the doorknob, and opened the room over there.

The door on the opposite side is not locked, so you can enter from the corridor.

The room was already dark, the lights were off, and the person on the bed was lying there.I don't know if I slept or not.

Qiao Yan closed the door with his backhand, locked it habitually, threw off his shoes, went up barefoot, and got into the warm bed.Zhou Xiyun, who was under the quilt, caught her and hugged her waist.

Qiao Yan lay on the man's body, touched Zhou Xiyun's face, and said in a low voice, "I can't sleep, I have insomnia."

Noticing that she was dressed lightly, with only a nightdress that was as short as the middle of the thigh, Zhou Xiyun felt the remote control of the air conditioner, adjusted the temperature higher, and asked, "Thinking about something?"

"No," Qiao Yan denied, "I didn't think about anything."

"I feel sick to my stomach after eating too much?" Zhou Xiyun whispered, and touched her lower abdomen again.Qiao Yan raised his waist so that it would be easier for Zhou Xiyun to get his hands on. "It seems to be a little bit. I can't digest it after eating too much." Zhou Xiyun said, "Rub it for you."

"Don't, don't," Qiao Yan stopped immediately, "I'm full, I feel nauseated after rubbing heavily, be careful I spit on the bed, then neither of us should sleep tonight."

Zhou Xiyun pinched the flesh on her waist, "It's okay, I'll take it easy and don't use any force." Qiao Yan thought about it and accepted.Zhou Xiyun said: "Lie down." She got up and turned to lie down.Zhou Xiyun put his elbows on his side to support himself.She said: "Knead for a while, it won't take too long." Zhou Xiyun hummed.

A thick black enveloped the surroundings, and the presence of another person could only be felt from the temperature of the body.Zhou Xiyun's movements were very light, Qiao Yan was silent, neither of them spoke.

After a long time, Qiao Yan whispered, "I brought two cups of coffee back this afternoon, but I forgot to give them to you." I just remembered this now, and my forgetfulness is big enough.

Zhou Xiyun replied, "I'll drink it tomorrow."

"I didn't put it in the refrigerator. It's going to be hot, so I won't be able to drink it tomorrow." Qiao Yan said, pausing for a while, "Forget it, I'll bring another one tomorrow night, or you can cook it yourself when you have time, you have beans and a coffee machine at home, you know Where."

Zhou Xiyun responded: "Yes, good."

Qiao Yan talked about desserts and small cakes again, and told which floor of the refrigerator they were stored, "You can take them away for breakfast in the morning."

Zhou Xiyun said, "I saw it at night."

After kneading was almost done, Qiao Yan asked Zhou Xiyun to lie down, and turned himself sideways, facing each other.Qiao Yan caressed Zhou Xiyun under the quilt, moved up along the curvy curve, got close to the kiss, and said while kissing, "Hold me."

Zhou Xiyun obeyed and hugged her with one hand.

Qiao Yan hooked the man's shoulders, and fell down on the man's shoulder after a while, lying on top of him.

They don't do anything, so silently comforting, not too far, nor too alienated.

After the kiss was over, Qiao Yan paused for a few seconds on the lips that were just a short distance away from Zhou Xiyun, then lowered down to touch the corner of the man's mouth twice, and said softly, "I'll stay here, I won't pass."

Zhou Xiyun hummed, "It's up to you."

"I can't sleep well, stay with me." Qiao Yan said, "Anyway, you also suffer from insomnia, so let's go together." Zhou Xiyun said, "Yes."

Qiao Yan: "You can rest after I sleep." Zhou Xiyun patted her on the back.

Push away some quilts, covering only to the waist position.

Qiao Yan didn't put all his weight down, quietly leaned against Zhou Xiyun's neck, and only stepped back after a while.Going forward, going forward.

Zhou Xiyun grabbed Qiao Yan in time and pulled the tip of her ear.

"Don't make trouble, come up..."

Qiao Yan broke away from Zhou Xiyun, disobedient at all.

The night is a quietly dormant beast, with a vicious mouth it will devour everything in the present, but at the same time, it is also a dark tide that rises and falls, or turbulent, wets the leaves moving in the wind outside the window, or treats it gently, Smoothes away the traces of the day as it recedes.
