nosy on you

abrupt question

Since moving into this apartment, only Xie Xiaochuan came over to cook a fire-fired meal. The seasoning and cooking utensils were bought at that time, and I don't know if he will have a stomachache later.

Seeing Yan Jing coming and going in and out of the kitchen, listening to him jingling and rinsing the pots and pans, Gu Xi felt warm in his heart.

This was the first time he felt "home" in this room.

After he said goodbye to that family in the past, the warmth quickly filled the gap in his chest, and there was no place to store the undigested sense of loss.

I remember that when I was a child, my grandma would often throw face at my mother for being critical. Once Gu Xi was out of breath, so she asked her why she got married if she was unhappy.

My mother said that after he got married and started a business, he would naturally understand that everyone should have their own affiliation.

Although he has neither a family nor a career now, he suddenly understands the meaning of this sentence.

"Put these things in the cabinet..." Yan Jing didn't continue to ask, and reached out to pat the cardboard box, "Since it is a precious thing, it should be kept well, it is easy to collect dust outside."

"Okay, help me tidy..." Gu Xi nodded, "I don't even know how to fold clothes."

"You don't need to fold it, just hang it up. Clothes will crease after being folded for a long time..." He neatly sorted out the contents of the cardboard box, "Put those small ornaments in the drawer."

While Gu Xi was busy, he watched him fold the bed sheet and quilt cover into standard tofu cubes. After a while, there was only a thick light blue photo album left at the bottom of the box.

"Is this a photo of you when you were a child?" Yan Jing carefully held it in his hand and looked at it for a while.

"Well, do you want to see it?" Gu Xi took it, opened the cover and pointed to a group photo inside and smiled, "This is my mother, this photo is from the first semester of my third grade when she took me to go swimming. It was taken in the paradise."

My mother looked very young, with a bright smile on her face, a ponytail on her head, and a casual parent-child outfit that was almost the same style as him. The red pirate ship behind her swung to the highest point on the left.

It seems that the screams of tourists can be heard across the screen.

"Auntie is so beautiful..." Yan Jing moved to the side and looked down, "She has a very temperament."

"What about me?" Gu Xi clicked his tongue, "Do you fucking have EQ, shouldn't you praise me first?"

"What are you praising..." Yan Yan looked at the photo, then turned to look at him again, "You are so funny."

"Fuck!" Gu Xi laughed, "You don't have any other words, do you? Is there someone who praises people like you? Don't you usually coax children to say that they are cute, handsome, and so on?"

"Are you a child?" Yan Jing narrowed his eyes, "Don't be shy..."

"Try saying one more thing..." Gu Xi pointed at him and yelled, "I'll beat you to death."

He closed his mouth rigorously and obediently, and after turning three pages of the album, there was only a blank space.

"Mom said to fill this album with photos of the two of us..." Gu Xi rubbed her nose, "It's a pity that she's gone before it's full, and the older photos can't be found anymore."

"Why don't you scan these few photos and upload them to the network disk..." Yan Yan said, "This way we can keep them forever."

"Well, I'm going to buy a scanner tomorrow..." Gu Xi closed the album, "You have to go to work tomorrow, so go to bed early."

"Okay, good night." Yan Jing nodded, turned and walked to the guest room.

"Precise..." Gu Xi suddenly stopped him, "Good night..."

There is no photo of Gu Xi's father in the album, probably at that time he spent most of his time outside of work with the other mother and son, no wonder Gu Xi hated him so much.

Every family has scriptures that are difficult to recite. After rigorously pondering most of the night, he has never tossed himself into insomnia because of other people's affairs. He didn't even know when he fell asleep. Woke up.

Gu Xi hadn't gotten up yet, but he put the apartment key and access card on the coffee table, closed the door carefully and lightly, bought two buns at the breakfast stand next to the community, and squeezed in with the crowd. took the bus.

Liang Le arrived very early, introduced him to the two little girls in the same class, and left in a hurry.

The two young ladies, one named Keiko and the other named Xiaoxin, are very easy to get along with.

"In addition to selling coffee and pastries, our store also sells coffee beans..." After the morning rush hour, Keiko led him to the shelf, "They are all common varieties, including Blue Mountain, Mandheling, and Yirgache Filipino, Colombian, Espresso, cat poop..."

Taking notes rigorously and quickly, he didn't even know that there are so many classifications of coffee beans. Just memorizing these names is probably enough, it really increases his knowledge.

"As for the differences between these varieties, I will give you a document in the afternoon. You can have a general understanding first..." Keiko looked at the small book in his hand and laughed, "Don't worry, I didn't know anything when I first came here. I don't understand, it will be fine after a while."

"I'll get acquainted as soon as possible." Yan Jing twitched the corners of his mouth in embarrassment.

"Don't look at the variety of coffees on the menu, in fact there are only a few types that change..." Keiko said, "Mocha, latte, cappuccino, and macchiato are all made from espresso. Yes, I will teach you these slowly later."

"Okay..." Nodding rigorously, "Thank you, Sister Huizi."

"Just call me Keiko..." Keiko cleared her throat, "Adding the word sister always makes me feel very old."

"Not old, not old..." Yan Jing quickly waved his hands, "It looks much younger than me."

"Yo, your mouth is so sweet..." Xiaoxin stood at the bar and giggled, "I'm sure she's good at making little girls happy."

The rigor felt a bit overwhelming. Fortunately, another wave of customers came into the store, and the two young ladies immediately got busy. Due to the lack of professional skills, he couldn't intervene in other things except ordering and delivery.

When he got off work, Liang Le gave him two pure white short-sleeved polo shirts. These were the uniforms of the coffee shop. During working hours, he had to wear a black apron with the shop name printed on it.

This outfit has a bit of a housekeeper's taste.

As soon as Yan Jing left the store, he heard someone calling him from behind. After searching for a while in the direction of the voice, his eyes were instantly attracted by the pair of sultry electric eyes in the crowd.

"Are you still used to the first day at work?" Xu Rui got up and walked over.

"It's okay..." Yan Yan greeted him with a smile, "Why do you come here when you are free, you don't have to work overtime today?"

"Occasionally, I have to be lazy..." Xu Rui pointed at his lower eyelids, "Otherwise, you will laugh at me for having dark circles under my eyes again."

"The makeup is good..." Yan Jin leaned over to take a look, "There must be more than a dozen layers of concealer."

Xu Rui was stunned for two seconds, then immediately raised his head and laughed: "You are quite funny, if you are not in a hurry, I will treat you to dinner."

"Now?" Rubbishly touched his stomach, "Lunch is not over yet, isn't it too early?"

"Why don't we go to Haiwan Park..." Xu Rui patted his trouser pocket twice, "I didn't drive, and it's not far to walk there."

"Okay..." Agreed rigorously and straightforwardly. Anyway, this job was introduced by Xu Rui, and he should be the one to invite this thank you meal because of emotion and reason. "I know there is a bibimbap restaurant over there. good."

"Really, you strongly recommend it, so I have to try it." Xu Rui waved his hand and walked into the side path.

Yan Jing followed him back and forth on the streets lined with high-rise buildings, feeling that he couldn't tell the difference between south, east and north, and they walked for half an hour before returning to the main road.

Not far ahead is the main entrance of Haiwan Park, and Xu Rui seems to be very familiar with this area.

He is wearing a khaki linen shirt and navy blue cropped trousers today, and he has also replaced his feet with small white shoes. It is quite different from the previous appearances, but the extravagance in his bones has not changed at all.

There were not many people on the beach at this time, and Yan Jing frowned looking at the slightly turbid sea water.

"I have loved watching the sea since I was a child..." Xu Rui said, "The sea of ​​various colors is like the mood in different states."

Oops, he took the lines.

Yan Jing turned his head in surprise, not knowing what to say for a while.

"Sit down for a while..." Xu Rui took out a few tissues from his pocket, wiped the bench next to him, and then pointed to the small shop not far away, "There are young coconuts for sale, you Wait me a moment."

Five minutes later, he ran back with two tender green coconuts with straws in them, and handed them to Yan Jing with a smile.

"It doesn't seem to be the season to drink coconut greens now..." Yan Yan took it, "But it's quite appropriate."

"The fruit shop sells them all the time..." Xu Rui said, "It just tastes a little lighter and not very sweet."

"Drink it like mineral water..." Yan Jin took two sips, and it was really light. "Actually, I also like the sea, but I prefer the clear blue sea surface. This kind of grayness is not good-looking."

"This shows that you are a simple and cheerful person, and you will think of the good side in everything..." Xu Rui smiled, "That's why you can't help meddling in other people's troubles."

"I, I, I, I am not as good as you said..." Yan Jing's face became hot, and his tongue was tied up, "By the way, I haven't thanked you for introducing me to the job yet. First, I must invite you for dinner."

"Okay, I'll listen to you..." Xu Rui nodded, "Then I'll just eat."

After chatting for a while, Yan Yan felt that their legs were suddenly stuck together, but they were still wearing sports shorts today. The touch of his skin made him shiver, and he quickly moved away to the right a few inches.

Xu Rui didn't come closer, and there was nothing unusual in the expression on his face, as if he didn't notice this detail at all.

In order to hide his suspicions, Yan Yan touched a cigarette, dangling it, and handed over the cigarette case: "Smoking?"

"I quit..." Xu Rui shook his head, "I can't see that you still smoke. I always thought you were the kind of good boy who didn't smoke or drink, and stayed at home and read books except for work."

Good boy?

This title is quite unique, and I don't know whether it is a compliment or a derogation.

"There are still many things that you can't see..." Yan Jing lit the cigarette against the wind, raised his head and blew a smoke ring, "Judging people by their appearance is wrong, be careful not to be deceived."

"Then let me guess one more..." Xu Rui stared at him for a long time, "Are you gay?"
