After we broke up, I still asked about your situation

Not long after, Tong Shen huddled together again and nestled in the chair by the dining table.

He was originally very imposing, relying on how much older he was than Tu Jiazhi, he regarded himself as an elder, and wanted to teach this little bastard, no matter how big or small, to learn to respect the elderly.

...quickly ended in failure.

Because Tu Jiazhi was cleaning up the mess he left in the kitchen, and he was standing by the side helpless, trying to help but adding to the mess.

When Tu Jiazhi coldly told him to stay away, he couldn't utter half a syllable to retort.

An hour later, Tu Jiazhi brought the remaining half pot of porridge to the table, and took only a pair of bowls and chopsticks, and sat down to eat by himself.

Tong Shen stared at him blankly: "Where's mine?"

Tu Jiazhi put the porridge into a bowl, took a sip, and paused slightly: "...what did you put in this porridge?"

"Sugar and salt." Tong Shen replied, "I'm afraid the porridge won't taste good."

"..."

"Still unpalatable?" Tong Shen leaned forward, "Give me a taste."

"Don't eat it." Tu Jiazhi moved the porridge to a place he couldn't reach, raised his head to finish the bowl in his hand, and scooped up another big spoon, "This is for the sick, you can order takeaway yourself."

"...Oh, that's fine." Tong Shen didn't want to eat this kind of bland porridge at first, but immediately retracted after hearing this, and waved his hands, "Then you can eat it."

Tu Jiazhi glanced at him, and asked casually, "What were you doing knocking on the pot just now?"

"Oh, I originally wanted to stir-fry vegetables for you." Tong Shen touched his neck and said awkwardly, "But I don't know why, as soon as I put the vegetables in the pot, the fire burst into flames, and I was so scared. I……"

As he said that, he was still a little proud: "But I still have some common sense. I know that the lid of the pot should be covered at this time, so I put the lid on the pot and went out to wait for the fire to go out..."

After a pause, he shrank back again: "But I, I watched you all morning today, and I was indeed a little sleepy, so I fell asleep...Then, the pot burned...I washed it for a long time. It's not clean, I just want to knock off the paste..."

"Oh."

Tu Jiazhi buried his head and covered the smile on his lips with a bowl.

Tong Shen vaguely heard him mutter something in a low voice, and asked suspiciously, "Are you scolding me?"

"Hmm." Tu Jiazhi looked up at him, "I've never seen such a stupid person."

"...Little bastard." Tong Shen didn't have the strength to choke with him at the moment, and cursed wearily, "You son of a bitch, there's nothing going on or off."

"Sister-in-law is also of the same generation." Tu Jiazhi said seriously, "You can't be counted as my 'superior'."

After a pause, he added: "But you can be 'under' if you want."

Tong Shen kicked him under the table: "Get out! You dare to take advantage of Brother Shen!"

"And how did I become a 'sister-in-law'?" Tong Shen snorted, "It's always been someone else's 'sister-in-law', okay?!"

Tu Jiazhi raised his eyebrows noncommittally.

Not long after, when the half pot of porridge was down, Tu Jiazhi got up to wash the dishes, but was stopped by Tong Shen: "I'll do it! I can still do the dishes, really, definitely!"

After hesitating for a moment, Tu Jiazhi nodded, handed the things to him, turned around and took a bottle of mineral water from the refrigerator, took two sips, and the empty water bottle clanged into the trash can.

Tong Shen put the pot and bowl on the sink, looked at it for a while, and was really curious about the taste of the food he cooked for the first time, so he dipped his fingers into some porridge from the bottom of the pot and fed it into his mouth——

"Bah! Ugh—"

I'm going to spit out breakfast!

Tong Shen rushed under the faucet and rinsed his mouth several times before washing away the salty, sweet, burnt bitter taste.

After a moment of relief, he looked back at the empty living room, and muttered wonderingly: "Does this brat have no sense of taste?"

After cleaning the pot and the bowl, Tong Shen finally completed the task smoothly this time, and stood with his hips on the spot, letting out a long sigh of relief.

Tu Jiazhi consciously wasted the whole morning and spent the whole afternoon brushing up questions.In the evening, Tong Shen ordered takeaway to be delivered to him, and found that his face was a little abnormally red again.

"Did you take your temperature?" Tong Shen put down his things and touched his forehead, "Hiss, why is it so hot!"

"It's okay." Tu Jiazhi blocked his hand, "I'll just sleep a little longer."

Tong Shen frowned: "Follow me to the hospital."

"Don't go."

Tu Jiazhi was more stubborn than usual after being ill. Tong Shen nagged and persuaded him for a long time, but he turned a deaf ear and got up and walked to the bed.

The tall body fell on the bed, and the quilt was lifted to cover his head. Tong Shen couldn't pull it off for a long time, so he had to ask the doctor to come to the door.

The little boy in his teenage years has a strong body, and it is difficult to get sick normally, but when he gets sick, he feels like a mountain falling, and it is urgent and intense, and he comes back and forth.

Tong Shen stayed there until four o'clock in the morning, and now he had to take a break from clubbing and drinking. His biological clock was so urged that he leaned against the bedside and pinched his chin with his elbows, and his eyelids were still fighting.As a last resort, he had no choice but to set an alarm clock for himself, which would start every 10 minutes, and finally stayed up until the drip was finished.

Tu Jiazhi slept a lot, so he woke up before dawn.

He kept dreaming when he had a fever, and when he opened his eyes, he still couldn't tell Jinxi. He stared blankly at the ceiling for a long time, and smelled a faint fragrance in his nose.

It is Tong Shen's fragrance.

At noon, his face was dark because of the pot, and after lunch, he went to clean up thoroughly, and he didn't know what brand of shampoo he used, and the light fragrance scratched his heart.

At this moment, Tu Jiazhi felt that there was still a heat source on his side, his back was stiff and he didn't dare to move, he just quietly poked aside with his fingers, and touched Tong Shen's curled up knee.

"..."

He rolled his Adam's apple twice, held his breath, closed his eyes, and let out a slow and soft breath after a long time.

The room was silent, Tu Jiazhi counted the breaths of the person next to him, and confirmed that he was sleeping deeply at the moment, before slowly turning his body to face him.

In front of him was Tong Shen's magnified face. It seemed that it was the first time since he met him that he observed the other person so closely.

It does look good.

No wonder there are "friends" who want to compete for favor.

Tu Jiazhi moved his gaze to Tong Shen's earlobe, where the earrings had been removed at some point, leaving only a small hole.

He thought of that person from yesterday, and his mind uncontrollably spread: Did they sleep together at night?

... Does Shu Bai know about the existence of that person?

Before entering high school, Tu Jiazhi was busy with her own life and studies, keeping her ears to the outside world, and had no idea that there were gay groups in the world.

Later, he overheard classmates talking about it. Some people said that the circle was actually very chaotic... In connection with Tong Shen's behavior, Tu Jiazhi couldn't help thinking, could it be that Shu Bai not only knew it well, but also acquiesced?

Otherwise, how could he safely leave such a beautiful and rare thing and go abroad alone?

The person in front of him was 20 years old, but he was still as ignorant of the world as a child. It seemed that he had been pampered and raised by his family.

Tu Jiazhi labeled him in his heart: good-looking, rich, and stupid, the four characters "Come and lie to me" were written all over his body.

... It is precisely because he looks so deceitful that it is difficult for Tu Jiazhi to blame him from the bottom of his heart, even knowing that he is having an affair with other men behind Shu Bai's back.

I can't help but excuse him, thinking: maybe he didn't realize that his behavior was out of bounds, maybe that "male mistress" coaxed him - after all, he is so rough, maybe he thinks that friends can also be lovers What about ear studs?

"..."

The more Tu Jiazhi thought about it, the more unreasonable he felt as if he had been bewitched.

A scumbag is a scumbag, is it natural or not?

Thinking of Tong Shen's denial of being a "sister-in-law", wouldn't Shu Bai be the only "sister-in-law"?

Although Shu Bai looks handsome, he is extremely strong in his bones, and his willingness to commit himself to others must be because he loves too much... How dare Tong Shen!

"Scumbag." Tu Jiazhi cursed in a low voice, feeling overwhelmed, and kicked Tong Shen's calf again.

Tong Shen was already sleeping uncomfortably, plus he was worried about his son's illness, so he was easily awakened.

He opened his eyes in confusion, and before he could see clearly, he suddenly felt a light beside him, and Tu Jiazhi had already stood up.

"Are you awake? How are you? Are you still burning?" Tong Shen rolled out of bed and reached out to touch Tu Jiazhi's forehead, but he sideways avoided it.

"It's okay, I won't burn it anymore." Tu Jiazhi took two steps back, "I'm going to wash up."

After closing the door, Tu Jiazhi leaned against the sink to relieve his emotions.

To him, Tong Shen is a benefactor, so no matter what he thinks in his heart, he can't embarrass Tong Shen face to face.

What's more, this is Shu Bai's private matter, at most he can only tell it in private, and he absolutely has no right to act on his behalf.

Just act like you don't know anything.

Anyway, get through today, and the next time I see you will be in a few months.

In order to force himself to forget about it, Tu Jiazhi seldom made phone calls afterwards, and only sent a text message to Tong Shen when he got home from vacation to report his safety.

On the eighth day of the first lunar month, Tong Shen dressed up to attend Luo Wan's wedding. When he entered the door, he took thousands of yuan in the name of Luo Wan's friend. Give her a bank card.

"This..." Luo Wan spread her hands in astonishment and dared not take it, "What is this..."

"Take it, Shu Bai gave it." Tong Shen said in a low voice, "He said he was sorry for you, and hoped that you would live happily in the future."

"But..." Luo Wan pursed her lips lightly, "I have already compensated you before, and he was not the one who made the mistake, so there is no need for him..."

"It's not all for you." Tong Shen said, "Just treat him as your own peace of mind."

"No, no." Luo Wan shook her head, "I'm living a pretty good life now, I really don't need to..."

"Why don't you need it?" Tong Shen frowned, "You have to start from the grassroots level after changing your job, and your salary is not as good as before, right? You just got married now, and you have to have children or something later. For other reasons, girls are always more vulnerable in marriage, so you should leave yourself a way out."

"Then..." Luo Wan hesitated, "Then how much money is there? I can't take too much..."

"Not much," Tong Shen lied casually, "thousands."

"Oh... that's fine." Luo Wan nodded, "I'll take it as his random money."

"uh-huh."

In order to realize the lie just now, Tong Shen continued to run on the train with his mouth full: "By the way, I have to study abroad in two days, and it may not be convenient to contact me at that time. If you have anything to do, please send me an email. I will reply when I see it." .”

"Ah?" Luo Wan was puzzled, "Now that the Internet is so developed, can't you receive news?"

"Uh, this... You, you can also send a message." Tong Shen said, "The main reason is that I can't receive the call."

"Oh, okay, I see." Luo Wan answered, looked at him sincerely and said, "Thank you, Tong Shen, if it wasn't for you...I, I really don't know what to do..."

"It's okay, I should... Uh, I mean, I have a good relationship with Shu Bai. I will definitely do my best for the matter he entrusted to me..." Tong Shen felt that he was getting more and more wrong, and waved his hands in a panic, "Then That's it, I still have things to go, I wish you a happy wedding, a hundred years of marriage, and an early baby! Bye!"

Back in the car, Tong Shen let out a long sigh of relief, lying on the steering wheel for a long time without recovering.

One Tu Jiazhi and one Luo Wan, he owed a huge debt and didn't know how to repay it. Every time he heard these two people thanking him, he was so ashamed that he wanted to run away, but he had to face it.

Thinking about this, Tong Shen suddenly remembered that Tu Jiazhi hadn't sent him a message for a long time. The last time he sent him a bunch of auspicious words was on New Year's Eve, but he only replied with four short words of "Happy New Year" Character.

I always feel that this kid is hiding from me on purpose...

Tong Shen didn't want to make Tu Jiazhi feel uncomfortable, so he had no choice but to hold back.

At the end of April, he went to school to pick up Tu Jiazhi for his birthday. He was afraid that he would be too embarrassed to ask if he had no money, so he directly gave him a card, and he paid money into it regularly.

In June, the school was on holiday due to the college entrance examination. Tu Jiazhi quietly went back to live there for two days without letting Tong Shen know.

After that until the winter vacation of the following year, the two hardly saw each other.Tong Shen thought that Tu Jiazhi thought he was annoying, so he basically didn't bother him except to take people out for a good meal during the holidays.

When the Chinese New Year was approaching, the aunt said that Shu Bai sent back a lot of gifts and happily distributed them to everyone. She also said that Shu Bai paid a lot of money, so she wanted to let the family go out for a good time during the Spring Festival. Tu Jiazhi celebrated his birthday.

There are five people in the family, just enough to fill a car.

On the way, Tu Jiazhi earnestly edited a long thank you message to Tong Shen, saying that his mother's condition has been under control recently, and thank him for helping him find expert doctors and nurses...

It's a pity I didn't have time to send it out.
