After wearing the book and the future boss HE

Huo Qiao actually brought himself a gift! !

Chu Yan suddenly woke up from a state of confusion.

After seeing Huo Qiao's message asking him "Do you want it?", Chu Yan typed to Huo Qiao almost without thinking.

[Yan: Yes, yes]

After sending this sentence, he remembered to reply to Huo Qiao's previous question.

[Yan: I'm at home]

Then Huo Qiao's news came back.

[H: positioning send]

Chu Yan was stunned for a moment, he opened his eyes wide and wondered if Huo Qiao was coming to him?

This idea made Chu Yan feel a little happy, but he was afraid that he might make a mistake, so he asked Huo Qiao:

[Yan: Do you want to give it to me now? ]

He waited until he saw Huo Qiao's reply again.

[H: It’s okay if it’s inconvenient]

Chu Yan: "!!!"

How could he forget it!Huo Qiao quickly typed.

[Yan: nothing inconvenient duck]

[Yan: Little Bear Jumping.jpg]

[Yan: [Positioning · West Fourth Lane, Xiaocrai Street]]

[Yan: My house is not easy to find, I'll wait for you at the alley]

Seeing Chu Yan's news, Huo Qiao paused, his brows that had been slightly tightened earlier relaxed a lot.

He found a handbag, unfolded it, and put the box in it.

Send another message to Chu Yan.

[H: Let me tell you when we arrive]

-

Chu Yan walked briskly back and forth at the entrance of the alley.

The corners of his mouth are raised slightly, and his bright eyes like a deer seem to be able to speak, even passers-by can easily feel his good mood.

……

"It's here, it's the alley in front of you on the right."

The taxi driver parked the car on the side of the road, "It will be difficult for the car to drive in further."

Huo Qiao gave a "hmm", took out his mobile phone and paid the driver.

He opened the car door and got out of the car, and an indescribably hot air rushed over his face.

Huo Qiao couldn't help but frowned slightly, he had never been here before.

The dense old-fashioned low-rise buildings are crowded together, which is ridiculously red and white like a clown's makeup.

There are many and narrow alleys. It is not very dark in August, but each alley looks very dark when viewed from the inside, and stray cats and dogs bark from inside from time to time.

The old brick walls are covered with moss, and the confiscated old man's vest and big pants are still hanging on the clothesline pulled out of the window on the second floor above his head. I don't know who is arguing, and the sound is so loud that he is Can be heard outside.

If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, it would be hard for Huo Qiao to imagine that there is such a place in Jiangzhou.

Although he always knew that the conditions in Chu Yan's family were not good, what he saw still surprised Huo Qiao.

He let out a sigh of relief, and walked forward in the direction pointed by the driver.

As soon as he got near the alley, Huo Qiao saw Chu Yan.

Chu Yan was standing at the entrance of the alley, raising his hand to pat his body from time to time, it seemed that he was beating mosquitoes.

Huo Qiao couldn't help but frowned, didn't he tell Chu Yan that he would speak when he arrived?

……

Chu Yan was afraid that Huo Qiao would not find a place, so he waited at the entrance of the alley early.

There were a lot of mosquitoes in the summer night, Chu Yan had just slapped a mosquito, and when he looked up, he saw Huo Qiao.

His eyes lit up immediately, he waved vigorously at Huo Qiao, and walked quickly towards Huo Qiao.

Huo Qiao also walked towards him, and the two met at the edge of the street light.

Chu Yan was very happy, he greeted with a smile: "Huo Qiao, you are here!"

Huo Qiao gave a "hmm" and frowned and asked, "Have you been waiting for a long time?"

"Not long." Chu Yan shook his head without thinking.

Huo Qiao looked at him, and suddenly felt that it was not a good idea to ask Chu Yan out at this time, he should wait until school starts and give it to Chu Yan directly.

only……

Huo Qiao's eyes fell on Chu Yan's still red and swollen lips, and he felt very irritable again.

"I saw the gift!"

Chu Yan didn't notice Huo Qiao's gaze, he looked at Huo Qiao's hand, and easily saw the orange handbag in Huo Qiao's hand.

Chu Yan's pupils widened slightly with joy, and he confirmed to Huo Qiao, "Is it for me?"

Under Chu Yan's expectant eyes, Huo Qiao let out a "hmm".

He suppressed his irritability and handed the bag to Chu Yan.

"I saw it at a design awards ceremony, and bought it if I thought it was suitable for you." Huo Qiao explained casually.

At that design ceremony, the top ten design products will be selected every year, and at the same time, a limited on-site supply service will be provided for the shortlisted designs. Huo Qiao decided to buy them when he saw them.

Chu Yan took the bag happily, and he couldn't help but want to know what Huo Qiao gave him.

So he asked Huo Qiao embarrassedly: "Can I open it now?"

"You want to ask this too?" Huo Qiao clicked his tongue, "You can open it if you want."

"Great!" Chu Yan said.

He carefully took the box out of the bag.

This is a beautiful long blue-black box with a delicate orange planet printed on it.

Because the box was not heavy in the hand, and there was no reminder, Chu Yan couldn't guess what it was for a while, so he continued to unpack the box.

There are boxes inside the long box, a total of three.

Two short little white boxes, and a long orange box, both look great.

Chu Yan felt more and more like unwrapping presents.

He blinked, and opened the long box first. When he took it out, he found a blue-black water glass that looked very textured. The body of the glass had the same pattern of small orange planets on the outside of the box.

"What a great cup!" Chu Yan couldn't help admiring.

He went to open the other two small boxes.

Both boxes have English instruction manuals inside.

Taking it under the street lamp to look, Chu Yan found that one of them was a tea box, which was used to put tea leaves, tea bags and other things that needed to be brewed. The effect was that it could be filtered perfectly, which was very convenient.

The other box is an insulation layer, which can keep the cup warm for a long time, which is very useful in cold weather.

Chu Yan blinked in surprise.

His plastic water cup is not insulated.

But it was still very early in winter, and Chu Yan himself didn't think about it, but Huo Qiao gave him a cup with heat preservation function, and he even noticed when he was making chrysanthemum tea.

The more Chu Yan thought about it, the more he felt that Huo Qiao was too kind.

"How did you think of giving me this cup?"

He was moved and said, "Thank you."

Huo Qiao was silent for a moment, and then spoke in a soft voice.

"You're welcome," he said.

"It's your cup that's ugly."

Chu Yan: "...?"

He was stunned for a while, thinking that the gaze that Huo Qiao landed on his cup that he sometimes felt was not an illusion...

After thinking about it, Chu Yan struggled to explain, "Actually, it is already the good-looking one among its brothers and sisters, and the most important thing is that it is very cheap..."

Seeing Chu Yan's earnest explanation, Huo Qiao couldn't help laughing.

He rubbed Chu Yan's head, "I see."

Chu Yan looked at him obediently and stopped talking.

Chu Yan's eyes are very big, and the pupils are very black.

The corners of his eyes drooped slightly. When he looked at people with his eyes wide open, the marks on his double eyelids were very deep, and the eyelashes at the end of his eyes looked black and long when stacked together.

Huo Qiao looked at him for a moment, then his eyes fell on Chu Yan's slightly swollen lips uncontrollably.

He was irritable again.

Chu Yan's living environment and growth experience are completely different from his. Who does he fall in love with, date with, and kiss with? What does it have to do with him?

Thinking of this, Huo Qiao suddenly felt very boring.

He lazily said: "Then I'll go back."

Hearing what Huo Qiao said, Chu Yan was stunned for a moment, and said the words subconsciously after wandering in his heart for a long time.

"Do you want to come over to my house?"

Huo Qiao was slightly taken aback.

Chu Yan put all the boxes back into the handbag, then held the bag cherishingly, and held Huo Qiao's arm with one hand.

"Let's go, let's go, I haven't asked you to drink water yet!"

Huo Qiao glanced at him and asked, "Is Auntie not home?"

Chu Yan smiled, "My mother hasn't come back yet, I'm the only one at home, come quickly."

So Huo Qiao followed Chu Yan back home.

Chu Yan's community... really can't be called a community.

Fortunately, Huo Qiao has been able to keep his face unchanged along the way.

Chu Yan led him into the narrow corridor, while telling Huo Qiao: "It's a bit narrow, be careful."

Because the white skin on the wall had peeled off a lot, and it looked very mottled at first glance, Chu Yan was worried that Huo Qiao would stain his clothes if he rubbed it too much.

Huo Qiao said "Hmm", only scattered light came in from the corridor, he couldn't help asking, "Is there no light in your corridor?"

"Yes," Chu Yan said, "it just doesn't work very well, and it only lights up when it's loud."

He smiled sheepishly, "But the sound insulation of the corridor is not good, too loud will disturb the neighbors."

"But it's fine on the second floor." He comforted Huo Qiao again: "There is a small triangular window on every other floor upstairs, so it won't be too dark, and it's not that the lights on every floor don't work well."

Huo Qiao didn't know what to say, so he said "hmm" again.

"Look over there," Chu Yan said to him suddenly, "my bicycle is locked there."

Huo Qiao glanced in the direction Chu Yan pointed.

He saw several bicycles already crowded in the narrow corridor of the stairs, and he barely recognized Chu Yan's car as one of them.

Huo Qiao: "..."

He thought, he finally found the reason why Chu Yan's car was so dilapidated.

-

Chu Yan's family lives on the fourth floor, and this building only has five floors in total.

Compared with the downstairs, the floor where their house is located is cleaner and much brighter.

The door of Chu Yan's house is an old-fashioned two-story structure, with a green iron anti-theft door on the outside and a red wooden door on the inside.

Huo Qiao watched Chu Yan open the two doors one by one with the key, and suddenly felt an indescribable feeling in his heart.

He was a little curious about where Chu Yan lived, but he didn't want to see that the environment of his home was too bad.

Although he knew that the conditions of Chu Yan's family were not good, when getting along with Chu Yan, Huo Qiao hardly felt that he was much different from other people.

Until Huo Qiao came to Little Crab Street.

While thinking this way, Chu Yan had already opened the wooden door inside.

He turned around and smiled at Huo Qiao, "Welcome to my house as a guest."

Chu Yan's smile was bright and gentle, and his home was much better than Huo Qiao imagined.

The living room is small, and you can see the end at a glance.

Huo Qiao could see that the decoration in Chu Yan's house was very simple, there was almost no soft decoration, let alone a sense of design.

But unexpectedly there is a kind of warm feeling.

Chu Yan unwrapped a new pair of slippers for him, and smiled after watching Huo Qiao put them on, "The size fits well."

Huo Qiao let out a "hmm".

Chu Yan greeted him, "Sit on the sofa first, and I'll cut watermelon for you to eat. Oh yes, I almost forgot."

Huo Qiao saw him run to a corner against the wall and push a floor fan out.

"Is it very hot?" Chu Yan said: "I have to trouble you to make up for it, the wind power of this electric fan is not bad."

Huo Qiao glanced suspiciously at the fan who looked very old.

Chu Yan smiled, "Really, Xiao Hei is very useful."

He turned the button to the maximum gear, and the fan started whirring.

Huo Qiao: "..."

Well, he could barely believe it.

Chu Yan wanted to get water for Huo Qiao, but suddenly realized that he forgot to buy a drink!

He was stunned for a while, and had no choice but to say to Huo Qiao: "We have no drinks at home, can I give you something cold for nothing?"

Huo Qiao didn't care, he said, "Yes."

Chu Yan washed the cup and poured Huo Qiao a glass of water.

Then he took out the frozen watermelon from the refrigerator and went to the kitchen to cut it.

Their kitchen is small, so the refrigerator can only be placed in the living room.

Chu Yan cut the watermelon, put it on a plate and brought it out, he greeted Huo Qiao: "Eat it as you like."

Huo Qiao lowered his eyelids and took a piece, and he took a bite.

Watermelon is very icy and sweet, which brings Huo Qiao a special feeling in this hot summer.

He looked at Chu Yan: "Have you lived here for a long time?"

Chu Yan nodded, "I moved here when I was five years old, and I have lived here for more than ten years."

Huo Qiao glanced at him: "Before five years old?"

"It should be renting a house."

Chu Yan thought about the memory in his mind, "I seemed to move often when I was a child, and then my parents bought this house after gritted their teeth."

In fact, although this house is a resettlement house without a real estate certificate, it also cost the original parents a lot of money back then.

Back then, Yuanshen's parents worked hard and borrowed money from relatives to finally buy this house together.

It's just that not long after buying it, Yuanshen's father died suddenly because of being too tired. Wang Mei managed to bring up Yuanshen by herself, and because she hadn't paid off her debts in the past few years, her relationship with her relatives was not good. .

Every time Chu Yan thought about it, he felt a little uncomfortable.

But Huo Qiao came to the house as a guest, and he didn't want Huo Qiao to become in a bad mood because of him.

So Chu Yan didn't talk about this topic any more. Thinking of the pomegranates at home, he said to Huo Qiao, "Do you want to eat pomegranates?"

Huo Qiao thought it was troublesome to eat pomegranates, so he said, "I'm too lazy to peel them."

Chu Yan smiled: "I'll peel it for you, the pomegranate is delicious."

He found the pomegranate and cut it open, taking out the red flesh inside one by one.

Chu Yan's fingers were fair and slender, and his movements were light and deft when picking out the pomegranate pulp.

He picked a lot and put them in his palm, then spread out his palm to Huo Qiao, "I'll eat it for you."

The bright red flesh was piled in his white and pink palm, and suddenly there was an indescribable color.

Huo Qiao looked at Chu Yan, and suddenly asked, "Are you peeling pomegranates for your boyfriend too?"
