When Xu You heard this, she kept her expression calm and her eyes narrowed slightly, "You can go to the hotel."
“I don’t like staying in hotels and I don’t bring my ID.”
"So what do you want to do?" Xu You asked.
"I want to live at your house." He replied solemnly.
She refused without thinking, "No."
"why not?"
Xie Ci argued for himself, "I don't do anything, I really don't do anything."
She doesn't speak.
Neither agree nor respond.
He thought there was hope, so he hurriedly added, "ball ball you?"
"You can't even ask me."
Xu You still refused, but when she heard this sentence in English, she couldn't help it, "Why do you still like to use such strange sentences?"
In the past, I always liked to create my own messy English sentences.
Xie Ci stopped teasing her, the corners of his lips were slightly raised, and he smiled lightly.
"Okay, you go up, stop making trouble, I'll go home right away."
After a while, Xu You glanced at him, "Do you want me to see you off?"
"What are you giving me? It's only a few steps away. I just walked back to sober up."
Xu You paused. Still open the door and get off. After she stood up, she turned her head and said, "You also come down."
She was afraid that he would drive back by himself later.
Xie Ci watched her while sitting in the car, and responded.
A young couple walked by, probably just after watching a movie, with a bucket of popcorn in their hands.
They were rubbing each other's ears, the girl was holding her boyfriend's arm, and she couldn't help being taken aback when she saw Xu You standing under the street lamp.
"Mr. Xu, what are you doing standing here at night?"
This little girl is about to graduate from graduate school and is an intern at Xu You News Agency, and happens to live in the same community as her.
Xu You said, "I have something to say to my friend."
After the words fell, the little girl couldn't help but look behind Xu You, and without saying anything, she nodded and bid farewell to her.
Seeing them walking away, Xu You hesitated for a while, then said to Xie Ci, "Forget it... I will send you to the gate of your community?"
she asked tentatively.
Xie Ci suppressed a smile, raised his eyebrows slightly, "Don't be so serious, you go up, I'm leaving too."
In fact, she also realized that something was wrong with her.
When he said that, Xu You could only say: "Then you get home and sleep well, remember to call me."
"Understood Teacher Xu." He said.
"..."
"Who is your teacher." Xu You was speechless, "I'm leaving."
She took two steps, then turned around and told, "Go back quickly, don't stay downstairs with me."
Thank you and nod, "Got it."
The lights in the corridor were broken and it was pitch black. Xu You didn't take her mobile phone, and went upstairs in the dark.
On the third floor where she lived, she stood at the door for a moment.
After inserting the key, Xu You stopped being dazed and came back to his senses.
---
Xie Ci leaned against the door of the Land Rover, lowered his head and played with the car keys in his hand. The slender wrist, the scarlet smoke between the fingers is not extinguished. He tilted his head and sucked in, then spat out.
In the dead of night, the smoke drifted away.
In the next second, he stopped smoking.
Xu You stood not far from him, kept looking at him without moving his eyes.
Xie Ci seemed to have expected it a long time ago, and he was not surprised to see her.
Xu You said softly, "Thank you, why are you still a virtuous person after so many years."
She just knew it.
It was the same way before.
If he doesn't move, he will stick to the downstairs of her house. If he doesn't coax her, he won't leave even if he freezes to death.
Obviously looking at the foolishness, but there is a stubborn energy.
Every time she went down to look for him at night. He's all waiting idly, then smoking.
Xie Ci laughed, put out the cigarette casually and got up.
"I know you are soft-hearted."
---
Up the stairs, no lights. She walked with him one after another, step by step, slowly.
The moon is a little bright at night, and the shadow reflected on the ground is very clear.
Xie Ci asked, "Xu You, are you afraid?"
"What are you afraid of?"
"What do you say?"
"have no idea."
Turn around and go up to the first staircase.
He looked at her blurry back, counting the steps silently in his heart.
Xie Ci raised his hand slightly, and grasped her hand hanging by her side with force.
Xu You looked down and didn't struggle.
There are no lights all the way upstairs, and the darkness is really a good thing.
Anyway, Xie Ci thinks so.
"Xu You." He called her.
"Um."
"You are now considered an advanced intellectual."
Xu You stopped and waited until she reached another step before saying, "You're not bad either."
"real?"
"I feel good about being able to make money with my own hands."
He was silent.
"I know, you once tried to prove yourself."
Xu You remembered the day Xie Ci had a fever and told her many nonsense things.
So when she brought up the past, she felt a little depressed.
"But life is not as good as it should be, all the time."
Xu You repeated again, "There are many careers and many choices. I think it's very good for you to repair cars and make money by yourself."
"You're fine," she said.
"I know I'm good, don't say it, it always feels like you're sending me a good person card."
It was a bit heavy at first, but she couldn't help laughing, "What kind of good card."
Thank you: "... .."
Thinking of the playful words at the dinner table, Xu You thought for a while and said, "If I send you a good person card, it should be...."
"What is it?"
"You are fine, but I am too beautiful for you."
Xie Ci chuckled, laughed twice, and couldn't help laughing again.
He saw her side face clearly, and asked half-jokingly, "Then do you think you don't have a common language with me?"
Xu You's eyes were light, and she replied calmly, "Chai, rice, oil, salt, soy sauce, vinegar tea, and fireworks in the world are also interesting."
He paused, but said nothing.
I just finished drinking, and my brain is a little slow to react.
Silence spread.
After a few minutes, the voice of thanking him was heard again.
"You are speaking a little politely and humorously now. I think I probably fell in love with your serious and cold humor at the beginning."
Xu You was quiet for a while, then looked up at him, "When did I have a cold humor with you?"
"..."
"You forgot?" Xie Ci lowered his head, and touched her face accurately and quickly with his lips, "You told me yourself."
Xu You let him kiss, "What?"
Xie Ci recalled, "What is it called? Is the knowledge my own, or what? How to say it."
It's been so long, he can't remember.
Xu You didn't know why, but felt a little uncomfortable.
She said, "You remember my words very clearly."
Xie Ci pulled the corners of his mouth and smiled lazily, "Of course, you are more rigid than my parents, and you like to talk about chicken soup for the soul as soon as you come up."
“…….”
Xu You remembered one thing. She was led by him, took two steps, and asked tentatively, "How are you celebrating the New Year now? Go back."
Thank you for not much response.
But seeing her dignified appearance, he smiled, "Go back, there are relatives at home."
---
On the third floor, Xu You opened the door, and Xie Ci followed behind her.
She went in to change her shoes and said to the people behind her, "Come in."
Simple two-bedroom, one-living room, but warmly decorated, wooden dining table, wooden floor, and bear pillows everywhere. In the album of irises, there are several spider plants on the balcony.
Xie Ci looked casually.
"Your house is beautiful."
Xu You ignored him. She put on her slippers and put down her bag and keys.
Xie Ci followed behind her, picked up a magazine on the table, and flipped through it.
The content was boring, so he leaned against the door frame to pass the time, waiting for what Xu You was busy with.
Xu You went into the kitchen and poured two glasses of ice water, she picked up her own to drink, and stretched out the other hand.
"Drink of water."
Xie Ci took it, raised his face and drank the water in the glass. , "Where do I sleep?" After drinking, he asked.
At this time, the mobile phone that was set aside rang.
Xu You took it over and looked at the caller ID, "Wait a minute, I'll answer the call."
She turned around and gave a low feed.
"Achai, are you asleep?" It was Chen Xiuyun.
Xu You: "I didn't sleep, I just had a meal with my former classmates."
"are you home yet?"
"arrive."
The side is very quiet.
Xu You listened to her mother absent-mindedly, and glanced at Xie Ci. He had already sat down on the sofa, propping his head up to play with his phone, with his legs straight.
Talk about small things casually. Xu You walked into the room.
After a while, she moved an air-conditioning quilt from the room and put it on the sofa, "If it's cold at night, remember to cover it."
"I sleep on the sofa?" Xie Ci asked after seeing her movements.
Xu You nodded.
"You are not polite at all. Didn't you say that the guests want to sleep on the bed when they come?"
After playing for a day, she was also tired, so she went to the side to help Xie Ci turn on the air conditioner in the living room and adjust it to 28 degrees.
Xu You put down the remote control and said to him, "You can wash your face and sleep today, I don't have any clothes for you to change here."
Xie Ci threw the phone away, "It doesn't make sense, you don't even let me take a shower."
"..."
It was also late, Xu You entered the room, turned on the computer, and flipped through the work emails.
Tomorrow afternoon, I will go to an e-sports competition to do an interview, and there will be an opening ceremony in two days. There is also the topic she reported a few days ago, about the Hope Primary School in the mountain area, which has been approved, and she will go to the field for investigation after a while.
A lot of things piled up, but Xu You took annual leave next month and was going back to her hometown to visit her little aunt's grave. My little aunt got esophageal cancer a few years ago, and she couldn't survive it even when she was too old. She passed away in the hospital a few days ago. She thought that while she was on her annual leave, she could spend time with her parents by the way.
When he came out of the shower, his wet black hair hung on his shoulders. Xu You was wearing a nightgown, and since Xie Ci was in the living room, she specially wore a small coat.
I was obviously sleepy just now, but after taking a bath, I feel much more refreshed. Xu You went to the kitchen, took out a watermelon from the refrigerator, and tore off the plastic wrap. She bent down and opened the cabinet to find a stainless steel spoon.
As soon as he turned around, Xie Ci leaned against the door.
Xu You paused, closed the cabinet, and asked, "Do you eat watermelon?"
"Eat."
She handed over the iced watermelon in her hand, "I'll give you something to eat."
Thank you: "Is there any seeds, if there are, I will not eat." He is very picky.
"No, you can eat." Xu You scooped out a spoonful and handed it to his mouth.
Her expression is very natural.
Xie Ci was stunned for two seconds, and then he opened his mouth to eat it.
"Xu You." He took two bites and suddenly called her name.
"What's wrong?"
Xie Ci said, "We are together in the future, can you take good care of me?"
---
She lay in bed reading a book, and went to sleep when her hair was almost dry.
Looking at the ceiling, Xu You suddenly remembered that she used to go to college. A roommate asked her if she had someone she liked, and if she could be with him in the future, what kind of life would she feel most comfortable with.
She feels that she is a very boring person, and she doesn't yearn for grandeur. He grew up peacefully from a young age, obedient and learned, and never provoked anyone. Xie Ci was the first wave in her life.
It's just that she was a bit introverted at that time, and she didn't know how to treat people well. So I was too indifferent to thank you, and I have regretted it in the past few years. But he is no longer around.
The roommate turned to look at Xu You who was in a daze, and was about to speak when she heard her voice.
Plain and gentle, as if without a trace of emotion.
"The most comfortable day."
"I want to go to the park with him on a summer evening after dinner, pass by colorful fountains, and watch dogs on the grass. There is also an aunt who dances in the square. We can take a walk in the wind, chat casually, and talk about everything. Can."
"Then at the gate of the community, go to the fruit stand to pick a delicious watermelon and put it in the refrigerator."
"After taking a shower, turn on the air conditioner, eat watermelon with him, and then watch TV."
"I think it's a beautiful life."
---
The doorknob was gently turned open, revealing a face in the crack of the door.
Xu You walked lightly into the living room. A replay of the football game was still playing on the TV.
She walked over quietly, revealing her curvy and thin calves under the white and thin dangling skirt.
The headlights in the living room were turned off, Xie Ci drank too much, and he was probably tired. She slept on the sofa with her eyes closed, her black hair fluffy. He was breathing deeply, as if he had fallen into a deep sleep.
With her fingertips, little by little, she lightly touched the skin of his side face.
After a long time, she squatted down.
Xu You pursed her lips, and stretched out her hand to pull up the thin quilt for Xie Ci.
Immediately, a fluttering kiss landed on his forehead, and then he closed his eyelashes.
sleep.
she whispered.
Then she stood up, bent down, picked up the remote control on the coffee table, and turned off the TV.
The last bit of noise was extinguished, and the room sank into darkness.
Xu You was about to leave with light hands and feet, when suddenly a hand came out and grabbed her wrist.
"-Hello."
Xu You froze, and the next second, a hoarse voice came from behind her ears.
"I was kissed hard by you."
