straight to heaven

The temperature of the air conditioner was a bit low at night, and I was dizzy when I woke up in the morning. Just in case, I made two cups of cold medicine.

On the first day of cohabitation, I planned to make breakfast for Pei Yan.There are plenty of resources in the refrigerator, but I was afraid of overturning the car, so I chose the safest omelette.

Knock the eggs in a bowl and stir them, then add a proper amount of flour, green onion and seasonings, brush the hot pan with thin oil, and the paste will gradually form when heated.The process went smoothly since it was not difficult to operate, but I didn't remember to take the cutlery until I turned off the fire.

The cupboard opened, and I pulled out the slides to reach the dishes, but saw something I didn't expect.

my lunchbox.

On New Year's Eve in the second year of high school, because Pei Yanlai hit my head and got my foot stuck, he detained the lunch box that had been filled with dumplings.Although it has not been used for many years, it has a long history after all, and it looks half new and not old.

Didn't expect to keep it.Pei Yanlai might really have a collection habit.

I was still grasping the inside and outside of the lunch box to do research, and Pei Yanlai approached from behind.He had just woken up, his breathing was a little heavy, and the moment he leaned over, he stuck his head into my neck socket - the carotid artery and the heart vibrate at the same frequency, and human vitality is concentrated here, and he seems to have a special liking for this part of the skin.

"When did you buy it?" He bowed his head and kissed me, speaking with a nasal tone.

"The cold medicine is on the table." I calculated the age of the lunch box in a daze, and replied, "13 years ago."

"..." Pei Yanlai withdrew: "I'm asking about your clothes."

clothing?

I picked up a short-sleeved shirt in the morning, it was a couple's style that I intended to share with him.Pei Yanlai had a pure white one, so I bought a black one.

"A few days ago." I saw him walking towards the bathroom, and reminded me, "Remember to drink medicine after taking a bath."

He turned his back to me and let out a lazy hum.

I have no appetite, and I know in my heart that this is a precursor to fever.It's strange to say that I'm tall and capable of fighting rough conditions, but colds and fevers are commonplace, especially when the seasons change.

It was too obvious, Pei Yan came to ask me what was wrong, I shook my head and looked up, saying, I have to sleep again.

Then I saw Pei Yan coming to take a shower and put on the same white T-shirt as me.

Dazed, I pawed his neck and gnawed quietly, like a half-dead dog dragging out the quilt from the bedroom and throwing it on the sofa.

Before Pei Yan came to ask, I explained first, "I have a fever and sweat, so it's troublesome to dirty the bed."

But before he fell down, he was carried back to the bedroom by Pei Yanlai.He lifted the quilt and lay beside me, I hugged him, this time I was completely powerless to resist, and soon passed out semi-consciously.

With the blessing of cold medicine, I opened my eyes again at four o'clock in the afternoon. When I woke up, I hugged his pillow and took his temperature again. It was 37 degrees six, a low-grade fever.

I vaguely remember that Pei Yan came and poured me another bowl of medicine at noon. I was very touched, but I almost choked to death.

Pei Yanlai is in the living room, holding the violin in his arms, plucking the strings boredly—this is what he does when he has nothing to do. When I was in high school, I stayed downstairs at his house, and I saw him repeating this on the balcony many nights action.

"You didn't go to the law firm this afternoon?" I said, and found that my voice was a little hoarse.

Pei Yanlai hummed: "Thunderstorm and ten-level wind, I can't go out. I have coordinated online."

It's raining?

The soundproofing of the house is good, I slept soundly and didn't hear anything.

Holding a specially bought hot water cup of the same color as Pei Yanlai, I opened the curtains.The window was opened a crack, only to hear the clatter of thunder outside the house.Then there was a deafening muffled thunder.

I had a stuffy nose and sniffed, "Tomorrow the south of the third ring road will be flooded again."

From the shared house to the subway station, the south of the Third Ring Road is the only way I usually go to work.Because it is not in the main urban area, the higher-ups do not pay attention to it, and the plumbing is not very good at ordinary times. When there is a heavy rain, the cars parked along the street will suffer.

Pei Yan came over and closed the window, saying, "It has nothing to do with you."

A cold makes one's mind slow, and I was stunned for a long time before realizing that I had moved.Whether the third ring is flooded or not, it really doesn't matter to me.

From thrift to extravagance.

In less than a day, I can no longer remember what it was like to lie in that single bed.

"You're right." I glanced at the kraft paper bag I brought back yesterday, the thought of touching the cat's butt suddenly came up, and the donkey's head didn't match the horse's mouth and said: "Pei Yan is here, I want to do something to you."

Pei Yanlai plucked the strings with her fingers: "Say."

——After 10 minutes, the violin was put into the gig bag.I grabbed Pei Yanlai's left hand and painted his nails.

The couple's roommates prepared a complete set of gifts, and even prepared handwritten instructions.

In the order of getting started, the transparent one is the base coat, the colored one is the nail polish, and the transparent one is...the top coat?

Today I finally saw the tip of the iceberg of how much effort a delicate girl can spend on self-improvement, so in awe, I decided to go to the gym a few more times next week to keep my abs in shape.

The primer on Pei Yanlai's left hand was dry. Among the many red, black, blue and purple, I was soft-hearted and chose a bottle of nude apricot that is not eye-catching.But when I turned my head, I saw another bottle of Klein Blue.

Ideal blue, absolute and pure.

"Pei Yan is here, don't move." Unscrewing the bottle cap, I reminded for the third time.

Pei Yanlai: "...I didn't move."

"I know." I tilted my head and sneezed: "I'm a little dizzy."

Pei Yanlai wanted to withdraw her hand: "Okay, go to rest."

I grabbed his wrist and said righteously: "If you don't use it, it's a waste."

The atmosphere was deadlocked.In order to deal with me who was making trouble in my illness, Pei Yan came up with frequent tricks and said, then give it to Li Xiaoxiao.

I shook my head: "They said it was for my girlfriend. Li Xiaoxiao just got married, so it's not suitable."

The nonsensical nonsense was interrupted by Pei Yanlai's cell phone ringing.He didn't look at the screen, and with his free hand, he pressed the hands-free connection.

"Hello."

The tone is as usual, polite and gentle, but there is no expression on his face. After watching him a few times, he feels that he has split to a certain level.

"... Hello Lawyer Pei, I am the daughter of Mr. Li Yangming. Do you remember me?"

I shook my hand and nail polish dripped onto the side of his thumb.Pei Yanlai frowned, pinched my cheeks with his backhands, and rubbed the wet dye on them.

He casually smiled and said, "I remember."

I wipe the color off my face with nail polish remover.Seeing my messy project, I felt ashamed, and I planned to help him remove it one by one.But Li Nan's noisy background attracted my attention.

She ran a few steps and said, "I finished the last test, and my dad just returned the phone to me. I want to call you personally to ask you, that photo album..."

She didn't go on.

Finished the last exam?

I counted the days and suddenly realized.Today is the last day of the college entrance examination.

"Album," Pei Yanlai was obviously asking her, but stared at me, with an obvious meaning of torture: "Didn't you receive it?"

I am wronged, but I am not wronged either.

In the afternoon of that afternoon, I personally went to the courier station, and the address was filled with Li Yangming’s home address, which was where his family’s usual place of residence was when they received the court summons.

I know that Li Nan can't leave school for a while, and even if she goes home to rest for a while on vacation, her parents probably won't mention it to her.

So when Pei Yan came to look at him, I couldn't see and was not upset, I buried my head in his arms and pretended to be dead.

"No, no." Li Nan explained: "My dad just told me...I'm worried that the photo album didn't come into your hands, or you didn't know that I've been here, so I want to confirm it again."

She spoke tactfully, but I understood that the girl wanted to get an answer in person.

Compared with me when I was seventeen or eighteen, she is really much braver.

Even if I had a little more courage at that time, or Pei Yanlai had a little less self-esteem, maybe we wouldn't have spent so long between us.

But the past has passed. At that moment, he and I seemed to have made what we thought was the best solution in the original situation.

I have realized that encounters should match abilities, and I shouldn't waste the time I can hold in my hands in unhelpful internal friction.

Pei Yanlai's nails were cleaned.I slowly slid off the sofa, hadn't eaten all day, and was a little hungry, but he suddenly grabbed my hand, and I couldn't go.

"I know."

Pei Yan came to look at me and said, "It was sent by my girlfriend."

He bites the word "girlfriend" hard, which is a counterattack to my previous nonsense.

I raised my head, sniffed, and thought, this person is so narrow-minded that he will pay for everything, and who else can bear it except me.

"...Ah." Li Nan was in a state of confusion, she faltered for a long time: "That's right."

Faintly heard Li Yangming calling her from the opposite side, she covered the receiver and replied vaguely, "Come right away."

My stomach growled, and I still wanted to slip out of his hands.

Pei Yanlai exhausted his patience. He clasped my fingers one by one, and smiled lightly: "After the college entrance examination, take a good rest. You still have to choose a major that suits you in college. I wish you a bright future."

Li Nan was silent for a few seconds, hummed and didn't speak again, so Pei Yanlai hung up the phone.

It really is a fantasy smashing machine, so ruthless.

"I'm hungry." I told him.

Pei Yanlai hummed, "I ordered takeaway, rice rolls and porridge."

His mobile phone was left aside, and I clicked on the food delivery software, only to find that I ordered it while I was asleep.The rider is making a delivery and it is expected to arrive in 10 minutes.

So I am not in a hurry.

"I study the Fa because of you." I sat cross-legged on the ground, and he grabbed my hand and confessed, "You know that."

Pei Yanlai didn't say anything.

I was quite curious and asked, "Why didn't you persuade me then? Just like you persuaded Li Nan."

"I said," Pei Yanlai said, "She's not suitable."

Words such as appropriate and normal have too broad a connotation, and if they are narrowed down, they will be narrow and short-sighted.What Pei Yanlai said at the moment is appropriate, but I don't know which one is appropriate.

I put my forehead on his wrist, the temperature after a low fever contrasted sharply with the skin of a cold-blooded animal: "Then am I suitable?"

Am I suitable, Pei Yanlai.

Is a yin-loving creature with obvious flaws who can't be shaken off with a morbid and obsessive love for you, is it right for you?

The silence was so long that I almost fell asleep with my head on his wrist.When the big dream fell, I snored vaguely because of my stuffy nose.

And then someone said to me, "Yeah." He never lied to me.

Today is a big day and I have to make a note of it.In the last second of falling into a light sleep, I thought so.

Egg rice rolls and porridge: ...whether you want to eat it or not, let's go.
