you put the knife down and talk

Wei Yulan has been practicing yoga recently, and eats healthier at night. To catch up with Gao Gao's study and urgently need big fish and meat to relieve stress, Gao Zhan simply took his sister out to eat barbecue.

Before going out, she asked Wei Yulan if she wanted to go with her, but she refused because she wanted to watch the show at night.

The barbecue restaurant is next to the seafood market. It is the kind of food stall with a greenhouse outside. You can eat inside or outside.As soon as Gao Gao passed by, he trotted and sat outside, Gao Zhan greeted the proprietress, and just went up as usual.

"You're tall and beautiful, you're a big girl!" The proprietress brought them two bottles of soda and greeted them.

"Thank you sister!" Gao Gao laughed.

They used to come here to eat barbecue. This area is full of old residents. Many of them grew up watching them. They all know that their father has disappeared, leaving behind a mother to take care of the two children.Their mother opened a small noodle shop and it was very unpalatable.

Gao Zhang unpacked the tableware and pushed it to Gao Gao, and tied another one by himself.Gao Gao watched him silently fiddle with the tableware, raised his hand and waved in front of his eyes: "What are you thinking?"

"No." Gao Zhan shook his head.

After getting acquainted with Cheng Ji, he taught Cheng Ji how to use the gas stove and range hood in the kitchen, and Cheng Ji was able to make something to eat by himself by following the video of The Lonely Gourmet.I didn't ask him today, he should be able to cook for himself, Gao Zhan thought.

"You're not thinking of Chengji, are you?" Gao Gao said with a smile in his eyes, "I haven't seen him much recently, don't you go to study with him every day, what is he busy with?"

"He..." Gao Zhan opened his mouth, thinking of Cheng Ji saying with a mature face that he was busy with life... Gao Zhan changed the phrase: "He is making money."

After they left the hotel that night, Cheng Ji's parents must have harassed Cheng Ji for a few days, and finally made it clear that if Cheng Ji didn't apologize and didn't go home with them, they would never control Cheng Ji again. up.Cheng Ji couldn't wait, so he immediately responded with a thank you, and then blocked them.

After he solved Chengjie and his wife, he leaned on Gao Zhan's shoulder with a sad face, saying that he had to be self-reliant.Gao Zhan was not surprised, he devoted himself to struggling with math problems and ignored Cheng Ji, so Cheng Ji reached out and covered Gao Zhan's paper, forcing him to ask himself, "Quickly ask me how I plan to be self-reliant!"

"My mother..." Gao Zhan resisted the urge to throw the pen into Ji's face, and asked, "How are you going to be self-reliant!"

Cheng Ji said, "I won't tell you."

That day Gao Zhan beat Cheng Ji severely, and the next day he saw Cheng Ji bring out a pile of thick books and put them on a small shelf with pulleys, without saying what he was going to do.

"Then, take some back for him after dinner," Gao Gao said, "The seafood fried rice here is so delicious, the two of us ran out to improve the food, leaving him alone at home to earn a living is not enough for friends."

Gao Zhan nodded, seafood fried rice is good, and Cheng Ji also likes to eat fried skewers, so he also brought some back.

Gao Gao sat across from his brother, held a soda and looked at Gao Zhan for a long time, and burst out laughing.Gao Zhan raised his head and heard Gao Gao say: "Brother, do you feel that you have changed a lot after Cheng Ji came?"

Gao Zhan moved his eyes, "Is there?"

"Yes," Gao Gao looked at Gao Zhan with bright eyes, "You are not as lonely as before."

"I used to feel that you are so lonely. Although my mother and I are very noisy and like to cling to you, you are still very lonely. No matter how many people are around you, you will always have a big hood that separates you from others. alienate you from everything around you."

Gao Gao's voice was crisp and intimate, which made Gao Zhan stunned.

"But after Cheng Ji came, he took you to blend in with the people and things around you, making you less antagonistic and less lonely."

Gao Zhan listened and thought for a while, it seemed that after Cheng Ji appeared, he could face many things less negatively.

"Hey, Cheng Ji is really amazing, I like him so much!" Gao Gao sighed after changing the subject.

"You like him?" Gao Zhan frowned.

"It's the kind of liking from friends," Gao Gao signaled Gao Zhan to be calm, "You are a straight man, don't you understand? Cheng Ji and I are good best friends!"

Gao Zhan didn't know why he was relieved when he heard Gao Gao say that. He felt that if others said they liked Cheng Ji, he would feel uncomfortable.

really weird.

After the brothers and sisters finished the barbecue, they ordered another seafood fried rice to take away. When they walked to the gate of the community, Gao Zhan bought some fried skewers.It was almost twelve o'clock when they went back, and the light in Cheng Ji's bedroom was still on.

"Shall I leave the door open for you?" Gao Gaoyao and Gao Zhan asked when they "parted ways" at the elevator entrance.

Gao Zhan hesitated for a moment, then Gao Gao walked home, "Then I won't stay, anyway, there is a room over there, so you can sleep there!"

Gao Zhan watched his sister mercilessly shut the door and turned the lock twice, clicked his tongue, turned and walked towards Cheng Ji.

Gaozhan's living room was dimly lit, and the kitchen and dining table were very clean. It didn't look like he had cooked. Gaozhan walked over with a lunch box and stood at the door of the bedroom, thinking whether to knock on the door.

As soon as he raised his hand, the people inside opened the door, "You still don't come in after getting here, are you being polite to me?" Cheng Ji opened the door and looked at Gao Zhan with a smile.

Gao Zhan entered the room from his side, and just about to put the lunch box on his table, he saw that the table was full of all kinds of books and papers, and there were also some on the floor, which he would step on if he was not careful.

"This is you?" Gao Zhan looked at Cheng Ji.

Cheng Ji came over, took the bag from Gao Zhan, and walked to the living room, "What did you bring me, it smells so good."

"Seafood fried rice and fried skewers," Gao Zhan followed him out, "The seafood fried rice is from the barbecue restaurant that Gao Gao and I often go to. It's okay, and the fried skewers are from the one you said last time it was delicious."

"You remember it very clearly." Cheng Ji laughed, looking a little surprised.

Gao Zhan snorted, "I'm not a fool."

When Cheng Ji sat down at the dining table and unpacked the lunch box, Gao Zhan asked, "What are you doing in that room?"

"Self-reliance." Cheng Ji said with a smile.

"Did I show mercy last time when I beat you?" Gao Zhan raised his fist.

Cheng Ji lowered his head and smiled for a long time before saying, "I took on a few jobs to translate novels."

"When my grandfather was around, he took me to translate a 50-word novel together. Now I have no problem translating short stories by myself," Cheng Ji explained, "I usually translate Russian novels, English French is also available, and the room is full of background information on novels, as well as a Russian dictionary that my grandfather left me."

"Are you short of money?" Gao Zhan asked, "Will doing this affect your studies?"

"No way," Cheng Ji shook his head, and picked up a bunch of fried skewers, "I'm so good at translating novels, and studying with you, both are right!"

Gao Zhan looked at him: "If you have no money, you don't have to pay the rent. My mother told you a while ago."

Seeing that Gao Zhan was still worried, Cheng Ji handed him a bunch of fried tofu, and comforted him: "Don't worry, my small coffers are enough for me to go to college, and I still have the money my grandfather gave me. Just in case, save your wife's money by the way."

"Wife book?" Gao Zhan said unhappily, "You haven't entered university yet, what kind of wife book do you have?"

"In case I met someone I like before college, it's always good to be prepared," Cheng Ji said, "I can't go back and forth."

"What's wrong with the back door..." Gao Zhan muttered.

Cheng Ji smiled and didn't say anything else. He ate a few mouthfuls of fried skewers and half a box of fried rice with seafood. He put down his chopsticks and touched his stomach, "I feel like I'll lose a piece of abdominal muscle after being fed by you."

"It's the same as you used to say." Gao Zhan said disdainfully.

"I'm not much, haven't you seen it before?" Cheng Ji grabbed the hem of his clothes, "How about I show you again?"

"Get out!" Gao Zhan kicked him.

Cheng Ji cleaned up the dining table, and went to look at Gao Zhan who was lying on the sofa playing with his mobile phone, his eyes barely opened. He walked over and took Gao Zhan's mobile phone away, and asked, "Why don't you go back?"

"Gao Gao didn't leave the door open for me." Gao Zhan turned over, as if he fell asleep without his mobile phone.

"Don't sleep here," Cheng Ji looked at Gao Zhan's waist exposed by turning over, and stretched out his hand to grab his clothes, "Go to sleep in the room."

"The bed in that room is not made." Gao Zhan said with his eyes closed.

"Then go to sleep in my room," Cheng Ji said, "I'll sleep after reading for a while, so I won't disturb you."

Gao Zhan hummed, but still closed his eyes.

Cheng Ji sighed, leaned down and blew into Gao Zhan's ear, "You're not waiting for me to carry you there, are you?"

Gao Zhan jumped up from the sofa, glared at Cheng Ji, and walked to the bedroom. After brushing his teeth with a new toothbrush, he fell down on the bed.

Cheng Ji went in, as if afraid of someone getting away, he closed the bedroom door tightly, even turned off the lights on the ceiling, leaving only a desk lamp.

Gao Zhan's even breathing sounded in a low voice, Cheng Ji opened the heavy Russian dictionary, compared the information, and looked carefully page by page.Because of Gao Zhan who fell asleep on the bed, he was more motivated.

After he came to an end here, he went to look at Gao Zhan who was sleeping soundly, and saw that he was curled up on his side, and his expression was much softer in his sleep.Cheng Ji went to bed very lightly, but Gao Zhan was still woken up. He turned over and hummed, "You're done..."

"Well, it's over." Cheng Ji lay down, raised his hand to spread some quilts for Gao Zhang, "Go to sleep."

Gao Zhan buried himself in the quilt, smelling the same scent of lavender essential oil as Cheng Ji's body, and said "good night" while half asleep and half awake.

Cheng Ji, who was lying on the bed with his hands and feet bound, heard the muffled "good night", smiled, turned his head to Gao Zhan, looked at his sleeping face under the broken hair on his forehead, and said softly.

"Good night."
