Xu Xing took a step back, glared at Lu Che angrily, and then heard Xu's mother asking on the phone, "Eh—is that Lu Che?"
"… "
Xu Xing replied in a muffled voice, "Yeah."
Mother Xu said, "That's right, wake up, let's call Shang Lu Che back for dinner. Are you done?"
"… "
Xu Xing snorted: "Well."
His eyes looked at Lu Che reluctantly. Lu Che leaned his back against the wall of the corridor, and when he met Xu Xing's sight, he raised his lips and smiled at him.
Xu Xing hung up the phone and opened his mouth with difficulty: "My mother said... Ask if you want to come to my house for dinner."
Don't forget to emphasize: "My mother asked, I don't welcome you at all."
The smile in Lu Che's eyes almost overflowed, and he said without hesitation, "Go."
Lu Che also went back to the dormitory specially, pulled out a schoolbag that he had never used before, and went out with it on his back.
Xu Xing glanced at him in disgust and asked, "Why are you carrying your schoolbag?"
Lu Che smiled and said, "The first impression I gave your parents last time was not good enough. I hope it's still too late to pretend to be a good student who is diligent and hardworking."
"… "
Xu Xing's first reaction was to think that Lu Che brought a change of clothes spontaneously and consciously, but when he saw that the schoolbag was deflated, it was obvious that he only had two books in it, so he didn't bother to pay attention to him.
They took a taxi at the school gate and remained silent all the way. The only conversation was that Xu Xing accidentally touched Lu Che's injured left hand, he said sorry casually, and heard Lu Che chuckle lightly: "It's just a skin injury, I'll deal with it in the hospital, but the nurse wraps it like a knife in her hand. Just as serious, tsk."
In order to have more contact with Lu Che, the young nurse couldn't help wrapping the straps a few more times.
The two stood downstairs and waited for the elevator. The two aunts stood in front with their little grandson in their arms. The little baby was lying on the shoulders of the grandmother, only showing a pair of big black grape-like eyes, staring straight at Lu Che. However, this big brother only has eyes on the brother next to him.
The little baby's eyes slid away and followed to look at Xu Xing.
Xu Xing stood in front of the elevator door, seemingly calm on the surface, but in fact his heart was already tangled.
There are two villains living in his heart, one knocks on the wooden fish and repeats: "Just please eat, just please eat"; the other hugs her head and cries: "To invite him to eat is to invite him to bed."
"… "
Xu Xing was upset when he felt his eyebrows being rubbed.
He turned his head to look, only to see Lu Che's eyes bright and black, and asked with a smile, "What are you thinking? Your brows are all wrinkled."
Xu Xing shook his head and said nothing.
Just then the elevator door opened, and the two walked behind the aunt and entered the elevator room one after the other.
home.
As soon as Lu Che entered the door, he said hello obediently: "Hello uncle, hello auntie."
Xu Ma came out with a plate of dishes and said, "Lu Che is here, come and sit, ready to eat."
Dad Xu put down the tablet in his hand and said, "Come and eat."
Lu Che followed Xu Xing to wash his hands first, and just sat down at the dining table, Xu's mother gave him a bowl of rice, and Xu's father took a piece of fried fish and put it in his bowl.
Dad Xu said enthusiastically: "Try your aunt's craftsmanship, she really has two efforts in this crispy fried fish."
Xu Xing bit his chopsticks, and his eyes could not help falling on Lu Che.
The crispy fried fish was also dipped in fresh tomato sauce. The fried fish was placed on top of the rice, and some sticky tomato juice slowly seeped down, dyeing the white rice red.
I saw Lu Che pick up the right hand of the chopsticks for a meal, first politely thank Xu Dad for the dishes he brought to him, and then look at the fish pieces in the bowl, hesitating to put down the chopsticks.
Xu Xing suddenly remembered that Lu Che never ordered braised fish in school, and he also had an obsession with eating. He was not sure whether he didn't like fish or whether he hated Xu's chopsticks, even though Xu's chopsticks had not been used.
Xu Xing didn't think much about it. When Lu Che's chopsticks poked the rice, he simply took away Lu Che's rice bowl and replaced his bowl of rice in front of Lu Che.
Xu Xing picked up the chopsticks and said to Lu Che, "I haven't eaten that bowl of rice yet."
He said to Dad Xu again, "You don't even know if he eats fish or not, let him pick up the vegetables himself."
After hearing Xu Xing's mention, Dad Xu said apologetically to Lu Che, "Then eat more other dishes."
Lu Che looked at the white rice that Xu Xing exchanged with him, and his heart warmed. He raised his head and explained to Dad Xu, "Because I was often caught by fish bones when I was a child, leaving a shadow, and I basically stopped touching fish when I grew up."
Xu Ma jokingly said, "It's a coincidence, Xingxing has loved eating fish since he was a child. It is estimated that when he was a child, he was never caught by a fishbone. Now he has a sense of accomplishment."
Xu's mother didn't talk nonsense. When Xu Xing was a child, he ate fish with a bowl, put a piece of fish into his mouth to chew and chewed, separated the fish meat from the fishbone in his mouth, and stuck out his tongue to let Xu's mother look at him. The fishbone that was picked out had to be praised by Mother Xu before she was willing to spit out the fishbone. She was so proud of her appearance.
Xu Xing ate the rice in a muffled voice, but did not speak.
Xu Ma didn't expect Lu Che to come back home for dinner, so she only cooked a few home-cooked dishes, four meat, one vegetable and one soup. In addition to crispy fried fish, there are also braised pork ribs, pork stuffed with bitter gourd, and scallion fried prawns.
Xu Xing's family has the unique ability to eat Pippi shrimp, and the Pippi shrimp has cut off the tail spine and the piercing whiskers. Xu Xing first bit off the head and tail, and then his upper and lower teeth bit the junction of the hard shell and the gastropods. After peeling off the gastropods, he could taste the delicious meat of Pippi shrimp.
The whole process is assisted by the mouth and chopsticks, and the hands are not stained.
During the meal, Xu Ma also asked about the injury on Lu Che's left hand, and Lu Che only said that it was twisted while playing.
Xu Xing hummed in his heart, but he hummed and hummed, eating and eating, but out of the corner of his eyes, he kept paying attention to Lu Che: I saw Lu Che's chopsticks, only walking between the braised pork ribs and oyster sauce and vegetable hearts. People who had to eat four meat dishes in the dining room, in addition to eating two bowls of rice tonight, also ate a few more ribs and choy sum.
After Xu Xing and Lu Che finished eating, Dad Xu poured a small glass of wine as usual, and asked Lu Che jokingly, "Can you drink white wine? Would you like a small glass?"
Lu Che smiled eagerly: "Baijiu is not very good, but I can drink a little."
Xu Xing stopped him directly: "Dad, he is still a senior in high school, what kind of wine is he drinking?"
Xu Xing began to complain in his heart, even if Lu Che had only a skin injury on his hand, he didn't want to drink white wine.
Xu's mother smiled and said to Lu Che, "His dad joked with his friends when Xing Xing was just born, that he would drink at home with his son to accompany him. I did not expect Xing Xing to advocate not drinking."
Dad Xu said: "The older generation said that if you don't drink alcohol, you can't marry a wife. Besides, after working, how can you not drink alcohol when you socialize."
"… "
Xu Xing was stabbed at the sore spot by Dad Xu's baseless nonsense, and said angrily: "I will drink JDB when I get married."
Lu Che couldn't help laughing, and said to Dad Xu, "Uncle, the monitor won't let me drink alcohol. I'll have a drink with you after I finish the college entrance examination."
Dad Xu smiled and said, "Okay."
It is the usual habit of Xu Xing's family to talk less after meals and chat after meals.
Leisurely, nothing to say, but in the blink of an eye it was almost eight o'clock.
Xu Xing got up and was about to leave the table, when he heard Xu's mother suddenly mention: "Wake up, what did you just rush back to school for?"
Xu Xing paused with his hand pulling the chair.
Just as Lu Che got up with Xu Xing, Wen Yan followed suit, and then looked at Xu Xing with the corners of his lips raised.
Xu Xing pretended to push the chair away calmly, and replied casually, "It's nothing, something fell."
After Xu Xing finished speaking, he returned to his room. Lu Che followed behind him with a smile and entered the room together. Xu Xing just sat down in front of the desk, when Lu Che leaned beside him, pressed the back of the chair with one hand, leaned down slightly, with a playful smirk on the corner of his mouth, and asked, "Monitor, you have to run back to school if you leave something behind. take it?"
Xu Xing felt that Lu Che was really bad, he pushed Lu Che's face away, took out the small note summarizing the biological knowledge points and slapped it on the table, and said confidently, "This!"
The smile in Lu Che's eyes was so strong that he couldn't help it. He picked up the small note and opened it, and said lightly, "Oh, so this is it~"
Xu Xing became irritable when he heard the tone of his words, and immediately ordered the expulsion: "After dinner, go back to school quickly."
However, Lu Che replied: "The weather forecast says it will rain tonight."
Xu Xing rolled his eyes and said, "You can take a taxi and make sure it doesn't rain."
Lu Che added: "I can't get into the school by taking a taxi. It's a long distance from the school gate to the dormitory building. I can't get in the rain. If I catch a cold, it will worry the monitor~"
"… "
Xu Xing: "Go away!"
Xu Xing got up and walked to the balcony to see that there were stars, wind and rain outside. He urged: "There's not a drop of rain, go back to school quickly."
But Lu Che acted as a rogue: "No way, it might rain in half an hour, then I just get to school and get caught in the rain."
Xu Xing stared at Lu Che's innocent face, and was about to have a seizure, when suddenly he saw Xu's mother walking in with a thin quilt and a pillow, and placed it at the end of Xu Xing's bed.
Xu Ma smiled and said, "I took advantage of the sun two days ago, so I just washed it and dried it."
Xu Xing: "…"
Lu Che replied, "Thank you, auntie, sorry to bother you~"
Xu Xing: "…"
The matter of Lu Che's stay in the night was instantly finalized, and the person involved said to Xu Xing with a shameless face: "Squad leader, lend me my clothes to change and wash~ I didn't bring any clothes here."
Xu Xing became even more angry when he heard it: "You decided not to leave, but you didn't bring any clothes?"
Lu Che smiled and said, "I will definitely remember to bring it next time~"
Xu Xing: "Go away! There is no next time."
Xu Xing kept scolding, but got up and pulled out the sportswear that he lent to Lu Che last time, and threw it directly.
Then I heard Lu Che say, "Where's the panties?"
Xu Xing: "…"
There are no brand new underwear in Xu Xing's closet. The clothes can be worn each other, but the underwear cannot be exchanged. Xu Xing directly refused: "No."
Lu Che was quite casual, and said, "Okay, it's comfortable without underwear~"
Xu Xing: "…"
His first reaction was that his sweatpants would seamlessly connect with Lu Che... he could consider throwing them away.
Xu Xing sat at the desk to write a question, and Lu Che went to take a bath when he was free.
After Xu Xing wrote the practice questions for a while, he heard a rustling sound on the balcony, the slanting wind blew drizzle, and splashed small water flowers on the balcony.
Xu Xing got up and closed the balcony door, then went to close the doors and windows of the other rooms on the same side. Dad Xu sat alone at the dining table to drink. Xu woke up and sat down. He couldn't help but mention to Dad Xu: "Dad, in the future, guests who come to the house should not take dishes. It is rude to use private chopsticks, and it is not acceptable to use public chopsticks. Sometimes people aren't too restrictive, they just don't eat that dish. You think so?"
Dad Xu listened and thought about it seriously, but because of the issue of face, he didn't express his position, and only replied in a muffled voice: "Well."
Xu Xing hadn't paid attention to this problem before, but only after paying attention to Lu Che's habits, did he think of this relationship.
As soon as Xu Xing returned to the room from the dining room, Lu Che came in behind him. He wiped his hair with the new towel that Xu's mother gave him, and took a shower to feel refreshed.
Xu Xing glanced at him, didn't care, stood at the desk and picked up the phone, the man behind him walked straight over, pressed against Xu Xing's back, and lifted his waist forward...
Xu Xing exploded immediately.
"Damn neuropathy!"
As soon as Xu Xing thought that Lu Che's trousers were original bird raising, his face darkened instantly, and he just wanted to abolish his bird.
Lu Che just wanted to make a joke. He didn't expect Xu Xing's reaction to be so big, so he quickly said: "Squad leader, don't be angry, don't be angry, can you come back?"
Xu Xing: "Go away!"
Lu Che's clothes were soft and ineffective, he pulled down his pants and said, "I just want to tell you, I'm wearing underwear."
He raised the corner of his shirt with his left hand, and the sweatpants pulled down with his right hand, showing the male dog's waist with clear abdominal muscles, and the slightly protruding edge of his underwear.
Xu Xing glanced at him, and the anger in his heart dropped by most: Lu Che was wearing underwear, which means that it was just sweatpants and underwear with double compartments, which is better than only sweatpants...
But Xu Xing still pushed Lu Che away angrily, took his clothes and went to the bathroom to take a shower.
Lu Che picked up the towel hanging around his neck with one hand and wiped his hair, his eyes fell on the small biological notes on Xu Xing's desk.
By the time Xu Xing finished taking a bath, it was already nine o'clock. Xu Xing sat cross-legged in front of the desk and did his homework, while Lu Che quietly leaned on the bedside and flipped through the exam papers Xu Xing had written.
The night rain continued for more than two hours. At eleven o'clock, Xu Xing pushed open the balcony door, and the rain stopped outside. The night wind after the rain was slightly cool, and the air was cool.
Xu Xing glanced at Lu Che, who also looked up at him.
Xu Xing said bluntly: "I'm hungry, I want to go out to make skewers, why don't you go?"
Lu Che: "Go, I'll go wherever you go."
Xu Xing snorted directly.
Xu Xing went out very casually, wearing big pants, a thin sports trench coat, flip-flops on his feet, and his hair was slightly messy due to the night wind.
There is a snack street not far from Xu Xing's community. He sat in the barbecue shop, touched his nose at the menu, and said, "You order, I can eat anything, but I have a little choice phobia."
In fact, Xu Xing was not hungry.
It's just that Lu Che usually eats more than him, but he ate less tonight, so he must be hungry now.
Lu Che took over the menu with a smile, sketched out a sketch, and ordered a large plate of grilled skewers and a pot of shrimp porridge.
The business of the barbecue restaurant is very good. Xu Xing is holding a pair of disposable chopsticks in his hand and casually watching the people who come in and out.
Most of the customers in the store were young people. A few girls were about to leave after eating, and they saw a boy with his elbow on the table playing with his mobile phone at a glance.
His handsome and impeccably exquisite face instantly caught people's attention.
The girl's eyes fell on him and couldn't move, she walked behind the boy and couldn't help but turn her head. But only when he turned around did he realize that the boy was not playing with his mobile phone, but was shooting the man sitting across from him with the camera on.
The shrimp porridge ordered by Xu Xing and their table came up. Seeing that Lu Che had been playing with his mobile phone, Xu Xing started to scoop the porridge into the bowls of the two of them.
Only then did Lu Che put down the phone and smiled softly: "Will you be angry if I praise you for being caring now?"
As soon as Xu Xing took a mouthful of porridge, he said, "Fuck you, eat more porridge, I'll eat shrimp."
After all, Xu Xing also stretched out his spoon to scoop out the prawns from Lu Che's bowl, until the spoon stuck into Lu Che's bowl, Xu Xing didn't react, frowning and said, "I forgot that you were forced, just change another bowl. Got it."
Lu Che smiled, not only did not change a bowl, but also took the initiative to fish all the shrimp in the bowl into Xu Xing's bowl.
Xu Xing lowered his head and drank the porridge, without saying a word.
By the time they finished eating the skewers and the two returned home, it was already past twelve o'clock.
There was only a dim yellow night light left in the living room. Dad Xu waited for the two to come home and said softly, "Go to bed early and have a good rest."
Xu's mother had fallen asleep first, and when Xu woke up to rinse her mouth, she saw a new toothbrush beside her, apparently prepared by Xu's mother for Lu Che in advance.
When Lu Che saw it, he squeezed next to Xu Xing to brush his teeth, and also used Xu Xing's mouthwash cup. Xu Xing just glared at him, but did not substantially stop him.
The bust mirror in front of the washstand put two people in the same frame, one with disgust and the other with a smile.
after.
The orange night light was on in the bedroom, and Xu Xing and Lu Che were lying on the side. Lu Che's behavior was such that there was nowhere for the long list of bedtime bans that Xu Xing had prepared in his heart.
Xu Xing turned his back to Lu Che in confusion, and when he heard the man behind him also turned over, he was quiet again.
This peaceful co-sleeping, and Xu Xing's original conflicting fantasy, can be described as a world of difference.
Xu Xing bit the tip of his tongue and shrank: "Hello."
He heard Lu Che answer him: "Huh?"
Xu Xing then said nonsense: "I turned off the lights?"
Lu Che snorted lightly from his nose: "I'll close it."
Xu Xing heard a rustling sound behind him, and then the night light in the room went out.
The room that was submerged in darkness also fell silent.
Xu Xing maintained the position of lying on his side for a while, then turned over and lay on the front again, his eyes were tightly closed for a while, and then he opened himself up again.
He opened his eyes in the darkness, and the windows and doors of the balcony were drawn with curtains. It was obviously dark, but he didn't have the courage to glance at Lu Che.
Of course, Xu Xing quickly scolded himself again: What do you think Lu Che is doing? Did you take the wrong medicine
He was sulking for a while, and then a small voice appeared in his heart to explain: Let's see if there will be a red line or something...
Xu Xing couldn't suppress the wild thoughts in his mind. He closed his eyes and recited ancient texts, but he always recited it. He was so irritable, but the person lying next to him had been quiet for a long time without turning over, and he might have fallen asleep. Xu Xing could only hold back the restless mood of turning over and kicking the quilt, so as not to wake people up again.
After a while.
Xu Xing pulled away in a mess of thoughts—
He felt the edge of the pillow sink gently, and as the center of gravity shifted, the collapse of the edge of the pillow gradually deepened. Xu Xing was nervous for no reason, but his eyes were closed.
then.
The soft, warm touch on his lips was light, gentle, restrained, and short-lived.
Xu Xing didn't say anything, and didn't dare to open his eyes.
He tried his best to calm his breathing, and he was even more afraid that the crazy heartbeat would betray him.
Xu Xing didn't dare to wake up, he was afraid that a showdown would make him no longer find an excuse to face Lu Che if nothing happened.
Fortunately, the bedroom fell silent again.
