Zhou Hao put the big hair and two hairs on his back, bent over to change his shoes, and prepared to go out.
"Come back early." Jiang Yuqian stood at the door, reluctantly.
"I'll come back after taking them vaccinated, and you should go to the company as soon as possible."
After Zhou Hao changed his shoes, he stood up straight, and found that Mu Mu was still standing still, he stretched out his arms and hugged the man in front of him, "I'm here to cook today, do you want curry chicken?"
Jiang Yuqian rubbed the little lunatic's hair, his movements were very gentle, "Eat, I will get hungry when you say that."
If it weren't for Jiang Yuqian's business at the company today, he would have rested at home on weekends.
Zhou Hao took the bus to the pet hospital closest to his home. While queuing up for registration, the familiar sound wave appeared behind him again.
"Awen, how old is this cat?"
"Two months ago, my uncle's cat gave birth, and I brought one back to accompany my dad."
"Little earth cat."
"Where is the soil?"
…
Zhou Hao was stunned, he didn't even have the courage to look back, the big hair and the second hair suddenly started to move restlessly in the backpack, did they hear it too
They must have heard it too.
After Zhou Hao paid the money, he turned his head and passed by in a hurry, unable to hold back the beating of his heart, he still took a peek at the man.
With just one glance, the eyes of the two accidentally met.
The smile on the corner of Sun Yiwen's mouth when he was talking to people suddenly faded away, and he changed into a surprised face.
Big and Er Mao's claws were scratching, and Zhou Hao's back was bearing their frantic resistance. They want to sneak out and meet the owner who brought them back.
"Old Zhou." Sun Yiwen called him.
Zhou Hao paused, brewing up a good mood, turned around and smiled at him, "Long time no see."
"Is this because you met an acquaintance?" Da Fei said excitedly.
Sun Yiwen was wearing a dark gray British plaid scarf, holding a pet bag in his hand. For more than four years, he was still as beautiful and delicate as before, with a small stature and translucent white skin.
"I'm here to vaccinate the cat, how about you?" Sun Yiwen asked first.
"Me too." Zhou Hao slightly lowered his head, extremely useless.
"I just returned to China not long ago. I didn't expect..." Sun Yiwen raised his eyelids lightly, looked at Zhou Hao, "You are also in City A."
Sun Yiwen's memory is still in the old Zhou's determination to leave the big city. In fact, the memory is too long, it was all four years ago.
They just stood there, and they had nothing else to say to each other. People who used to be able to get into the same quilt and hug each other now have such a time.
These years of chaotic time are too exhausting.
"I took the cat for an injection." Zhou Hao nodded and left evasively.
Da Fei looked at the man's passing back, and asked Sun Yiwen curiously, "Ah Wen, who is that man?"
Sun Yiwen stood where he was, looking at the departing man, "A former friend." At the end, he added, "A very good friend."
Ah Fei sighed in broken Mandarin, "That's really strange, he seems to be avoiding you."
Zhou Hao spread the small blanket he brought on the metal table, and put Da Mao on the blanket first. The syringe in the doctor's hand showed a sharp needle. Da Mao shook his body tremblingly, and Zhou Hao pressed it hard.
Once the needle was inserted, Da Mao whimpered and "meowed" a few times.
Sun Yiwen also came in with his cat, and Da Mao stared at him with his round eyes, and stopped making noise. It's rare that the injection is so obedient.
"Is it Da Mao?" Sun Yiwen stretched out his hand to help it smooth its hair, Da Mao coquettishly touched his master's hand with his head.
Zhou Hao responded in a low voice from the depths of his throat, "Yes."
At this time, Ermao moved around in the backpack again, Zhou Hao put it down, and it was just like its mother, staring at Sun Yiwen with big pitiful eyes.
"Touch it too, it still remembers you." Zhou Hao's voice was mixed with the hoarseness of the years.
The two fat guys finished their injections, Zhou Hao ignored their fierce resistance and put them into the bag.
He was still the same coward as before, without saying a word or mentioning anything, he just wanted to leave the hospital without a sound.
"Old Zhou, leave a contact information." Sun Yiwen stopped it.
Zhou Hao turned around, and mechanically reported a series of numbers, "189XXXX7683."
Sun Yiwen saved the number.
Zhou Hao didn't even ask Xiao Sun, what's your number, he ran away as if fleeing.
The winter sun is shining brightly, and even the fine pores of the human body can be seen clearly, not to mention the panicked expression.
Zhou Hao was carrying a backpack in disgrace, and walked on the bare road. After taking a step, he muttered to himself, "Why are you coming back? What's the good of coming back?"
He just walked to the vegetable market step by step. You know, it's a distance of more than ten kilometers.
He walked all the way, bowing his head and thinking about things. Fortunately, the destination was far enough, and he had enough time to slowly digest what he saw and heard today.
What are you doing back? What's the point of coming back
In the man's mouth, these two sentences were always repeated over and over again.
The vegetable market arrived, and as soon as I walked in, I smelled a soaring smell of chicken, duck and fish. Now I have missed the best time to buy vegetables in the morning, and there are only some leftover vegetables left on the stalls.
Zhou Hao picked out a lean little rooster, bought some potatoes, onions and garlic, and some other vegetables at home, which Jiang Yuqian bought yesterday. Enough for him to cook a meal.
Carrying the slaughtered chicken, he walked back to the house on Power Road step by step along the sidewalk.
When I got home, it was already noon.
As soon as Zhou Hao put down his backpack and the vegetables in his hand, Jiang Yuqian called.
"Haohao, what did you have for lunch?"
"Called takeaway."
"What should I do, I'm starting to miss us Haohao now." The man's words were full of sweet pampering.
"Da Mao and Er Mao are fighting, I won't tell you." Zhou Hao pressed the hang up button.
Zhou Hao opened the zipper of his backpack and released two fat guys. The big one and the two ones seemed to have resentment towards him, and instead of rubbing their heads against Zhou Hao's legs as usual, they wagged their tails and went to his cat's nest.
Zhou Hao didn't eat lunch, and lay on the bed in the bedroom. At first, he was still thinking about something, but then the more he thought about it, the more irritable he became. He simply covered his head with the quilt and slept in the dark all afternoon.
When Jiang Yuqian came back at night, it was still early, just after six o'clock. Zhou Hao was cooking in the kitchen with the range hood turned on, and he didn't hear the door open outside.
Suddenly, two arms wrapped around his body from behind, and the hot air that came immediately spewed at his ears, itching.
"How many dishes are you cooking today?"
"Three, two dishes and one soup."
Jiang Yuqian was still clinging to him, with no intention of letting go, his lips moved between his exposed neck.
"Don't... I'm cooking."
After dinner, Jiang Yuqian was busy with work again. Zhou Hao nestled on the sofa in the living room, switching TV channels back and forth, but couldn't find any program that would make him addicted.
He got annoyed, and flipped the remote control to the side. What was playing on the TV was a travel variety show, and several celebrities went to a foreign country together. Zhou Hao glanced twice, not interested, and took his eyes off the TV screen.
He was just sitting on the sofa doing nothing, and after a while, his mobile phone received a message——
"Old Zhou, I'm really happy today, find some time to come out and have a sit."
Zhou Hao glanced in the direction of the study, a little guilty, he wanted to write a sentence to reply to this person, after thinking for a long time, he didn't know what to say.
He fell into hard thinking, and gradually, this kind of thinking changed. He felt that Sun Yiwen was inexplicable, why did he send him such unclear text messages
Later, he reflected on himself again, why are you ignoring others today
Before he knew it, he had been thinking about it for over an hour, but there was still no result, and he still couldn't figure out what to reply.
The variety show is over, and next is the evening theater, an urban life drama.
He suddenly thought of how to reply to Sun Yiwen.
"I'm watching "Naked Marriage", how about you?"
Soon, there was a reply, obviously Sun Yiwen was waiting for the call all the time.
"I'm writing a year-end summary, and I have a headache."
"Where do you work now?"
"It's at CITIC Construction Investment on Xinjing Road."
At this point in the conversation, Zhou Hao didn't know what to say further, but before he got entangled, Sun Yiwen found something for him.
"Are you alone now?" The question was abrupt, but Sun insisted on knowing the answer.
"I got back together with my ex-boyfriend." For so many years, Zhou Hao always remembered that Sun Yiwen called Jiang Yuqian "your ex-boyfriend".
"That's very good."
Sun Yiwen didn't send any more messages.
Zhou Hao looked at the conversation on the screen and was stunned for a while, wondering if he made Wenwen sad just now.
He was so engrossed in thinking that he didn't even notice that Jiang Yuqian came over.
"Ah." Zhou Hao was taken aback.
"What are you thinking about?" Jiang Yuqian glanced at the screen of the little lunatic's phone, "Who are you chatting with?"
Zhou Hao silently took back his mobile phone, "A colleague."
"You go to bed first, I still have a while." Jiang Yuqian hugged him and kissed him again and again as usual.
Zhou Hao avoided Jiang Yuqian's kiss uncharacteristically, put on his slippers, stood up, "Then I'll go take a shower first."
Jiang Yuqian looked at the panic-stricken person, and had a certain guess in his heart. He picked up Zhou Hao's mobile phone on the coffee table, turned to the text message interface, and clicked on the latest message.
The night is very dark.
This night, the minds of the two men were completely confused. After Jiang Yuqian hastily handled his official duties, he also went to take a shower. Zhou Hao was still awake, lying on the bed in a daze.
"Why aren't you asleep?" He asked seemingly casually, but he was actually watching the little lunatic's facial reaction.
Zhou Hao didn't even look at him, turned over and muttered softly, "Just fell asleep."
Jiang Yuqian climbed onto the bed and hugged him from behind, "Haohao, let's go shopping at IKEA tomorrow, shall we?"
"OK."
Jiang Yuqian was frightened by the little lunatic's indifference, he leaned close to the man's neck, and lit the fire as if flattering him, "Shall we go to the zoo?"
Zhou Hao avoided his intimacy, "I won't go, I'm a little sleepy..."
The pointer of time pointed to 10:30, and Jiang Yuqian greedily looked at the back of the little lunatic's head through the light from outside. In addition to being a little flustered in his heart, he was also a little surprised. At least, the little lunatic admitted that he was his boyfriend.
Things are always moving forward slowly and getting better slowly.
