When Yuan Yuan arrived, everyone at the party had almost drank.
Seeing him coming, they all blushed and shouted that they wanted to drink another round, and they all knocked Yuan Yuan down. Yuan Yuan's alcohol intake was not bad, but he couldn't stand the group attack of this group of drunkards. By the end of 0:00, he had dispersed, and he could no longer walk in a straight line.
When they got home, the lights were still on, and Chen Donglan sat on the sofa watching TV. The variety show was replayed in the middle of the night, and the host's laughter was exaggerated.
"You haven't slept yet?" he asked in surprise.
Chen Donglan turned down the voice of the TV: "I just finished my work, I will watch it for a while if I can't sleep."
Chen Donglan is a chemistry major and now works in a pharmaceutical company. In Yuan Yuan's memory, this was the first time I saw him go home and work overtime so late.
Yuan Yuan rubbed his head: "Go to rest early. It will be harder to fall asleep after a while."
Chen Donglan hummed softly and turned off the TV. Yuan Yuan felt that his move was too straightforward. Could it be that when he said, "You don't have to sleep and watch TV all night," will Chen Donglan do the same
"You're not feeling well?" he asked.
Yuan Yuan kept rubbing his temples: "A little bit."
"I'll make you sober soup." Chen Donglan was still sitting on the sofa. He lowered his head, held the remote control in his hand, and pinched it unconsciously.
Yuan Yuan was stunned: "...No, it's too late." He often couldn't tell whether Chen Donglan's thoughtfulness was sincere or polite, just like now.
"I can't fall asleep anyway." Chen Donglan said this very naturally, and after speaking, he stood up and walked to the kitchen. This apartment is not big. When the kitchen lights are turned on, the whole house seems to be alive. Chen Donglan turned on the gas stove, and the sound of ignition came out. This moment no longer felt like it was late at night.
"It's really not necessary." Yuan Yuan chased after him, "You guys are more strict at work, but it's okay for me to be late for a while. If you really think I have to drink a hangover soup, just leave me alone. Let's do it."
Chen Donglan paused.
"Okay." He paused for about two seconds, then continued to put the small soup pot on the stove, and then let go: "I'm really tired, so come on by yourself."
"Well... good night." Yuan Yuan's mood was a little complicated.
Chen Donglan's tone was indeed exhausted. He lowered his head slightly, and when he walked out of the kitchen, because Yuan Yuan was also leaning against the door, the two of them touched their shoulders.
It was at this moment that Yuan Yuan suddenly realized that he might have said something wrong.
He was the only one left in the kitchen, the lights were still on, the gas stove was still burning, but the house was still dead, late at night.
Yuan Yuan stood in front of the cooking table, cooking sober soup randomly according to the tutorial on his mobile phone, and suddenly felt that his relationship with Chen Donglan was not as smooth as before.
For the past three years, he and Chen Donglan have lived together, and they are very comfortable everywhere, just like family.
However, recently, when facing Chen Donglan, he often over-interpreted his behavior, and deep down in his heart, he always felt that these interpretations might not be too much.
Suddenly thinking of the table of dishes tonight, Yuan Yuan opened the refrigerator, and the freezer was empty, with only a few bottles of water.
So many things, it is impossible to finish eating, it is all poured out.
He felt inexplicably irritable.
Recently Yu Lin is in the process of buying a house. He also rented a house after graduation, but he was always dissatisfied and had to change places every three or five years. After working for a few years, I have money in my hands and can't wait to buy my own house.
"Four rooms, two halls and two bathrooms. It is within a 30-minute drive from the company. There is a dining street near the community, so you don't have to worry about eating and drinking..." Yu Lin gave Yuan Yuan a little bit of the advantages of his new house. Check in.
"You live in such a big house by yourself?" Yuan Yuan thought to him so much.
Yu Lin replied seriously: "I want to have a second child..."
Yuan Yuan was amused and gave birth to a second child. Yu Lin was so grown up that he never even held a girl's little hand.
Feeling Yuan Yuan's ridicule towards him, Yu Lin also felt a little ashamed and changed the subject: "You really don't think about being my neighbor?"
Yu Lin asked about this when he was choosing a house.
Yuan Yuan took his smile back: "I said before, I have no plans to buy a house."
Yu Lin was standing by Yuan Yuan's desk and chatting with him. After hearing this, he dragged a chair and sat across from him: "If you don't buy a house, you will live in that small shabby house you rented for the rest of your life?"
Yuan Yuan was stunned.
He seems to really... think so.
Some time ago, when Yu Lin asked him if he wanted to buy a house with him, he decisively refused. I didn't think about it at the time, it was just a subconscious move.
Looking back now, I just think it would be good to live with Chen Donglan all the time, but I never thought about the possibility of ending.
Yu Lin noticed something: "It won't be because of Chen Donglan..."
Yu Lin was at the same level as Yuan Yuan, and had also been on the school debate team. He considered himself to be Yuan Yuan's best buddy. After Chen Donglan came to the team, he met Yuan Yuan soon after an old friend. He thought we could play together, but Chen Donglan was extremely indifferent to people other than Yuan Yuan, so he kept his relationship with Chen Donglan. unfamiliar relationship.
"I've always thought he didn't like me very much, but not so much. In order to prevent you from being neighbors with me, he didn't even let you move the house?" Yu Lin guessed randomly.
"How can you tell that he doesn't like you? He's just an introvert, don't say that." Yuan Yuan was very serious.
Yu Lin was in a complicated mood: "You reacted fast enough to protect Chen Donglan right away."
Yuan Yuan fell into silence.
Yu Lin didn't speak, and the atmosphere was a little weird for a while.
"You..." Yu Lin asked tentatively.
Yuan Yuan interrupted him: "I'll go take a look this weekend."
Yu Lin widened his eyes: "What are you looking at?"
"House."
Once he has decided what to do, Yuan Yuan's actions will never be sloppy, his character is like that. In fact, the money to buy a house had been saved very early, and Yu Lin invited him to be a neighbor, so after a weekend, a house of the same type as Yu Lin was finalized.
He was just a little hesitant about how to tell Chen Donglan about this.
Neither of them went to work on Sunday, and Chen Donglan got up before seven o'clock. Yuan Yuan looked at the time after hearing the sound, and decided to wait a bit. When I woke up at nine o'clock, Chen Donglan was watching TV.
"Have you eaten breakfast?"
Chen Donglan was attracted by the morning news and didn't look away: "I ate."
Yuan Yuan opened the refrigerator. It was different from yesterday. Today's freezer is full of things. Fresh vegetables have been washed and placed in fresh-keeping bags. There are also a lot of milk and eggs.
"Did you go shopping early in the morning?"
"Yeah." Chen Donglan said, "I cooked preserved egg and lean meat porridge for you, and it should be almost ready now."
Yuan Yuan held onto the refrigerator door, forgot to close it, and forgot to answer.
Seeing that Yuan Yuan didn't move, Chen Donglan went to the kitchen and took out a bowl to help him serve the porridge. After filling half a bowl, he asked, "Do you think this is enough?"
Yuan Yuan walked over and said without looking, "Enough. The porridge is good now, so what did you eat in the morning?"
Chen Donglan sprinkled a handful of chopped green onion on the porridge: "Biscuits."
Yuan Yuan has been a professional lawyer for several years, and there is rarely a time when he is speechless. Now count it once.
Yuan Yuan drank porridge, and Chen Donglan sat back to watch TV.
Yuan Yuan didn't know how long he had eaten, but he was distracted, and by the last few mouthfuls, it was completely cold.
Yuan Yuan washed the bowl, dried it, put it in the cupboard, and sat directly beside Chen Donglan.
The sofa is not big, and the two men sat on it and were almost close to each other. He said, "Chen Donglan... I bought a house very close to the company and plan to move there in a few months. "
Chen Donglan looked over with a bit of confusion in his eyes, as if he didn't react.
"Look... Are you going to find a new co-tenant, or find a new house? It doesn't matter if it's too late, I can also cover half of the rent for you."
For many years after that, Yuan Yuan could recall Chen Donglan at this time.
He lowered his head first, hiding all his expressions, and then put his hand on his forehead. Yuan Yuan could clearly see his fingers trembling.
When he raised his head again, he had a faint smile on his face: "I'm free to find a new place. Where did you buy your house? Congratulations."
His smile was perfect, no reluctance.
Yuan Yuan said the name of the community.
Chen Donglan nodded: "I heard that the location is very good, so the house is very expensive."
Yuan Yuan joked: "Isn't it expensive, you will follow me to buy it?"
Chen Donglan lowered his eyes: "Yes."
How could he say "yes"
Yuan Yuan had 10,000 words to answer him, but in the end he just smiled and went back to his room on the pretext that he still had work.
This day was the last day of the three years they lived together.
Early the next morning, Yuan Yuan was awakened by the sound of Chen Donglan sorting things.
When I opened the curtains, it was still dark outside.
Walking out of the room, there were a lot of packed boxes in the living room. Chen Donglan piled them together and counted them again and again.
Yuan Yuan stammered hard when he spoke: "...Are you packing your things?"
In fact, the new house has not even been handed over, and it is still a long time before he moves out. Even if he was leaving today, Chen Donglan didn't have to move on Monday morning! Seeing that he has already sorted it out, has he not slept all night
Yuan Yuan was more or less angry, and unknown emotions were churning in his heart, and he blurted out a sentence: "Am I driving you away?"
"No." Chen Donglan put down a suitcase and straightened up, his face blushing a little because he was bent over and congested, "It just so happens that I have a friend who is renting out his house, a single apartment, and the price will be convenient for me. It's just that he's going out of town soon, and it's best to move there today."
He explained a little hasty, but also tried very hard.
But Yuan Yuan's anger didn't diminish at all: "That won't mean putting away everything today. Did you rest last night?"
Chen Donglan's tone was as relaxed as possible: "Occasionally staying overnight is fine."
This time Yuan Yuan was really angry: "Okay, it's fine if you think it's okay."
He went back to his room to change clothes and wash up, and he didn't talk to Chen Donglan again until he went out.
When he arrived at the company, he was immersed in this unpleasant mood all morning, so Yu Lin didn't dare to speak to him.
In the afternoon, he regretted it again.
Chen Donglan didn't sleep all night and left in a hurry. Was he in a hurry to leave
Does Chen Donglan really want to leave
No, he was kicked out.
