The spring was beautiful, and in the evening, Chi Xiaoduo held a meeting with Wang Ren and the interns under Wang Ren to sort out the places picked out today and make a summary.
While dozing off, Chi Xiaoduo listened to Wang Ren's ramblings, wondering why Xiang Cheng didn't come to pick him up, and suddenly saw Xiang Cheng riding on the branch of a yellow jue tree outside the window, looking inside.
Chi Xiaoduo: "..."
This is the third floor, Chi Xiaoduo hastily gestured to him, signaling him to go down quickly, Xiang Cheng gestured "Understood", and slid down holding the tree trunk. As Wang Ren was talking, he suddenly said "Damn", and saw Xiang Cheng's agile and vigorous figure.
"Chi Xiaoduo!" Wang Ren chased him out.
After the meeting, Chi Xiaoduo was about to run away, but was caught by Wang Ren again.
"I've made an appointment for you." Wang Ren said, "Today no matter what, I must eat! It's not easy for Xingjie to ask for leave, and I've been waiting for you!"
The corner of Chi Xiaoduo's mouth twitched, Xiang Cheng rode a bicycle and waited outside the courtyard, looking at them. Wang Ren got in the car and drove out, saying: "Xiang Cheng, you go back first, I still have something to do with the little sunfish."
Xiang Cheng nodded, but Chi Xiaoduo said, "I don't!"
"Where are you going?" Xiang Cheng lowered his head and said to Wang Ren, "I'll take him there. Mr. Wang, you go home, it's fine."
Wang Ren hesitated for a moment, then gave an address, and Xiang Cheng said, "Let's go."
Ahhh—Chi Xiaoduo looked depressed, do you want to go on a blind date with Xiang Cheng? Xiang Cheng took his satchel and carried it on his back, Chi Xiaoduo got on the front bumper of the bicycle, and the bicycle rode away.
"I don't know the way, how do I get there?" Xiang Cheng asked, "Are you tired after get off work?"
Chi Xiaoduo was very embarrassed. It was not dark yet, and the setting sun dyed the Pearl River golden red. Xiang Cheng rode a bicycle with Chi Xiaoduo along the bicycle lane of Binjiang Road, shuttling among the shadows of trees.
"I'll check the GPS." Chi Xiaoduo took out his phone and saw Wang Ren sent a text message: [Sunfish, don't be stupid, think clearly. Xiang Cheng didn't even have a job. He had a falling out with the club the day before yesterday, and I only found out that he came to work in the city from the countryside last month, and he was a straight man. These people are very shrewd in their hearts. They try their best to find a place to stay in the big city. Most of them see that you like him, use you for a while, and kick you when they find a good job. Do you have a common language?]Chi Xiaoduo: [Stop talking, you don't know him at all!]
Chi Xiaoduo quickly typed a line, thought about it and then deleted it, knowing that Wang Ren was doing it for his own good, there was no need to quarrel with him, as long as he thought it through himself.
The point is that Chi Xiaoduo didn't think clearly, because after much deliberation, Xiang Cheng is always a straight man, it's not good to break up a straight man, and if he doesn't, it will only cause sadness. Thinking about it this way, it's better to have a boyfriend earlier, so that you can have a sustenance.
For a sunfish that has been tangled up and down for a long time about even the smallest things, Chi Xiaoduo simply can't accept this. The person he likes is Xiang Cheng. It's not fair!
Even taking Xiang Cheng on a blind date, he will definitely find out that he is gay.
Xiang Cheng was still in the tattered migrant worker uniform, and looked down at Chi Xiaoduo playing with his mobile phone. Chi Xiaoduo was a little nervous, wondering if he had caught a glimpse.
"Where did you go today?" Chi Xiaoduo felt guilty and had nothing to say.
"Yuexiu District, Shangxiajiu." Xiang Cheng said, "I found that Zhuangyuanfang is very cheap to buy clothes and shoes."
"The quality is average." Chi Xiaoduo said: "Students like to go there, which is similar to Taobao's physical stores."
"What about you?" Xiang Cheng asked back.
"I saw the picture for a day." Chi Xiaoduo said, "How do you climb a tree?"
"The guard won't let me in." Xiang Cheng replied, "I thought I came from the construction site."
Chi Xiaoduo suddenly remembered the bird and said, "By the way, your bird..."
Xiang Cheng controlled the car with one hand, and took off the tattered off-road cap on his head with the other hand. With a chirping sound, the bird flew out. Xiaoduo couldn't find it until late afternoon. It turned out to be hiding in Xiang Cheng's cap!
"My parents left it to me." Xiang Cheng said.
The silver bird flew around the bicycle and landed on Chi Xiaoduo's shoulder. Chi Xiaoduo reached out to catch it, but it flew away.
"What's your name?" Chi Xiaoduo asked.
"Thinking about returning." Xiang Cheng replied.
What a strange name, Chi Xiaoduo thought to himself, and asked curiously, "Why is it called this name?"
"If you don't see the world, you don't want to return."
Xiang Cheng and Chi Xiaoduo bathed in the warm and soft light of the setting sun, turned along Haizhu Avenue, and merged into the torrent of cars and people commuting from get off work in the city.
"My father often travels outside to work." Xiang Cheng said: "When I was a child, I was a left-behind child. My mother waited for him at home, and Sigui followed my father. It means that after seeing the vast world, I will go home early... Xiao Duo, is it here?"
When the bicycle stopped in front of the Guangzhou Restaurant, Xiang Cheng looked up and said, "Go and eat, I'll wait for you outside."
"Let's go together." Chi Xiaoduo said, "Actually, it's not an important person, it's a private matter."
Xiang Cheng said, "I'm disheveled, and people look at me when I go in."
Chi Xiaoduo knew that Xiang Cheng's reluctance to go in was because of his attire, and said, "It's okay, the waiter rolled his eyes at you, just scold him, this kind of time-honored shop won't treat customers like this."
Xiang Cheng laughed, parked his bicycle, and followed Chi Xiaoduo in. He didn't get looked at as expected, but Xiang Cheng was still a little unconfident. After entering, Chi Xiaoduo wanted to call Yang Xingjie, but Xiang Cheng didn't want to go with him They were at the same table and insisted on eating next to them until they finished chatting.
Chi Xiaoduo was not reluctant, Xiang Cheng sat down at the table in the corner, and the waiter came to order. Xiang Cheng couldn't understand Cantonese, so he asked, "What? Can you speak Mandarin?"
"What tea to drink, Pu'er Chrysanthemum Tieguanyin." The waiter said.
Xiang Cheng asked: "There is a fee? I just need plain water, okay?"
Chi Xiaoduo reappeared in a flash and said, "Give him a pot of Pu'er."
Xiang Cheng: "..."
Chi Xiaoduo slid down again, floated away, and greeted Yang Xingjie who was looking down at his phone in the distance.
Yang Xingjie asked him to order, just like the last time he met. After a few words of work hard, when the civil servants were deducted, they could only go to meals. The design institute had money to earn hahaha haha. After ticking off the dishes, he said: "I'll pay the bill today, pretty girl, come and place the order—"
Yang Xingjie said, "What have you been up to lately?"
"Work."
"Where are your parents?"
"They're all abroad." Chi Xiaoduo replied, "They're divorced and live on their own."
"live alone?"
Chi Xiaoduo: "Shared renting with friends."
"Which school did you graduate from?"
Chi Xiaoduo wanted you to check your household registration, Yang Xingjie realized it, and said embarrassedly: "I checked too many household registrations, I'm sorry."
Chi Xiaoduo thought it was funny, Yang Xingjie said, "Have you considered what you asked last time?"
Chi Xiaoduo didn't expect Yang Xingjie to come so straight-forward, and immediately blushed and became nervous. How could anyone ask such a question? If you think about it, start dating today? Chi Xiaoduo said awkwardly: "This..."
Chi Xiaoduo's mentality is very entangled. If he can talk to Xiang Cheng, then he must go straight to Xiang Cheng, but Xiang Cheng is a straight man, and he is psychologically disturbed by Wang Ren's nagging. Yang Xingjie seems to think about it . But it's immoral to do so, isn't it
"It's okay." Yang Xingjie said empathetically, "We'll talk about it next time when we come out."
Speaking of which, Yang Xingjie poured tea for Chi Xiaoduo and asked, "Where are you from?"
"Zhuhai." Chi Xiaoduo replied, "People from Wanchai, how about you?"
"I'm also in Zhuhai." Yang Xingjie laughed and said, "I live in Hengqin."
"Ah!" Chi Xiaoduo said, "I used to go there when I was young! Hengqin is very beautiful! The scenery is just like the painting."
"Yes." Yang Xingjie said, "But there are too few people in Zhuhai. Do you remember the sea-eroded caves near the sea?"
"I remember." Chi Xiaoduo said: "When I was a child, I went to explore the caves! I ran there alone, it was so scary, and then the tide was high, so I couldn't come back hahaha—"
Yang Xingjie said: "I heard that before the development, there were monsters hiding in the cave. I seem to have heard this legend?"
Chi Xiaoduo thought about it, but he couldn't remember anything about his childhood.
He was only seven years old that year, and it was the time when he was hated by dogs. It was indeed very dangerous to go out with his friends and run into the sea cave. After high tide, the sea water slowly poured in, so Chi Xiaoduo had to hide in the cave . It was winter again, and the sea breeze was icy cold.
"How did you get out later?" Yang Xingjie poured tea for Chi Xiaoduo.
"Forgot." Chi Xiaoduo said suspiciously: "It seems that he ran out in the middle of the night, yes, isn't the sea cave high tide? How did it come out?"
Yang Xingjie said: "That area is gone, it has become Chimelong Ocean Paradise."
"Yes, what a pity." Chi Xiaoduo smiled and said, "Ten years have passed in the blink of an eye."
The two chatted about Zhuhai's past. When Chi Xiaoduo was a child, Zhuhai hadn't been built yet. Now, in the blink of an eye, the city has become very fast, and many childhood memories have disappeared. However, Yang Xingjie remembered those things, as if they had the same Chi Xiaoduo couldn't help but dance when talking about those beautiful past events in his childhood. What's amazing is that no matter what he said about how he played when he was young, Yang Xingjie could answer the words.
Yang Xingjie stretched out his hand, touched Chi Xiaoduo's forehead, and smiled.
"Did anything strange happen to you recently?" Yang Xingjie asked.
"What?" Chi Xiaoduo looked blank, thought for a while, and said, "No, why do you always ask me this."
"I didn't ask." Yang Xingjie said, at the same time, consciously or unconsciously, he glanced into the corner and saw Xiang Cheng drinking tea and reading the newspaper there.
"Oh, you didn't ask..." Chi Xiaoduo thought for a while, and said, "But why do I feel like I've been asked somewhere before, why did I suddenly ask this?"
Yang Xingjie called and seemed to be asking him to go back to work. Yang Xingjie hung up the phone and jokingly said, "I'm a policeman, and I care about the lives of citizens. Is there a problem?"
Chi Xiaoduo laughed, and Yang Xingjie said, "I'm not kidding you anymore, just call me if you need anything."
"I know." Chi Xiaoduo said.
Yang Xingjie: "If you encounter any security issues, such as quarreling with the neighbors next door, or being bullied, you can beat them."
Chi Xiaoduo laughed and felt very warm again. Yang Xingjie snapped his fingers and asked someone to pay the bill. Chi Xiaoduo felt that the two of them became more intimate. For a while, Yang Xingjie walked into the room because of these common topics. into his heart.
"The gentleman at table 15 has already paid for the two of you," the waiter said.
Yang Xingjie's expression changed subtly, and Chi Xiaoduo's heart skipped a beat. When he looked around, he saw Xiang Cheng folded the newspaper in an inconspicuous corner and got up.
"This is my friend...my brother." Chi Xiaoduo introduced.
"Why don't you come over to eat together?" Yang Xingjie recovered his expression and smiled.
Xiang Cheng said casually, "I'm afraid to disturb you, hello."
Xiang Cheng made a movement, and that movement made Yang Xingjie retreat a little bit. Chi Xiaoduo felt that Yang Xingjie was a little afraid of Xiang Cheng, so he hurriedly said: "This is Xiang Cheng, he is very nice, and we live together."
Xiang Cheng stared into Yang Xingjie's eyes, and Yang Xingjie had no choice but to shake hands with him. The two left hands were held together. This etiquette seemed to be interpreted very strangely by them. The two stood there directly, shaking hands for more than ten seconds. like a statue.
"Let's go." Xiang Cheng let go of his hand, and Yang Xingjie hurriedly said, "I'll drive you off."
"Let's ride a bike." Xiang Cheng replied.
Yang Xingjie came out with them, Xiang Cheng patted the front bumper of the bicycle, Chi Xiaoduo waved goodbye to Yang Xingjie, and was carried home by Xiang Cheng on a spring night.
"Who is he?" Xiang Cheng asked suddenly.
"Civil servant, I have a house." Chi Xiaoduo replied, "Wang Ren introduced a friend I know."
"Are you fellow villagers?" Xiang Cheng asked again.
"Huh? How did you know?" Chi Xiaoduo said.
Xiang Cheng said, "I saw him touching your forehead."
Chi Xiaoduo said, "Can touching your forehead prove that you are a fellow villager?"
Xiang Cheng asked again: "You two knew each other when you were young?"
"I don't know." Chi Xiaoduo said.
So Xiang Cheng didn't speak anymore, and Chi Xiaoduo said, "Are you full?" He saw that Xiang Cheng had only eaten a plate of radish cake before and was sitting drinking tea, and Xiang Cheng said, "Of course not, it's too expensive, no Dare to mess up."
Chi Xiaoduo laughed and said, "I'll take you to a delicious restaurant."
Chi Xiaoduo took him to a Zhusheng noodle shop, Xiang Cheng devoured three big bowls, Chi Xiaoduo asked, "Is it delicious?"
Xiang Cheng nodded, and Chi Xiaoduo went to pay the bill. When he got home, the courier had already arrived. Chi Xiaoduo went to the security guard to pick up the courier, and took out the clothes for Xiang Cheng to try on one by one. The whole person is different, and it is completely impossible to see that he was still a migrant worker who was in the wind and sand in the last moment. Except for the roughness of the palms, all traces of poverty and wandering are gone.
"Your hair should be cut." Chi Xiaoduo said.
"What kind do you like?" Xiang Cheng said.
As soon as Xiang Cheng opened his mouth, Chi Xiaoduo's heart skipped a beat. If Xiang Cheng asked, "What do you think looks good?", Chi Xiaoduo didn't think it was a problem, but when he asked, Chi Xiaoduo immediately felt a thump. Heartfelt feeling.
Xiang Cheng: "?"
Chi Xiaoduo said: "Short, push both sides, refresh yourself, summer is coming soon."
"Yeah." Xiang Cheng said, "Tomorrow, I will go to see the hair-shaving master. Come, this is for you, and it will be yours from now on."
Xiang Cheng gave Chi Xiaoduo an Agricultural Bank of China card.
"This is the card."
Chi Xiaoduo thought to himself, of course I know it's a card, and whether it will be followed by "swipe casually".
Chi Xiaoduo: "Do you want... let me handle the money for you?"
Xiang Cheng said: "The password is six zeros. If you lack money, you can take it out and use it casually. When it is my living expenses, I can't move it now, and it will be unfrozen next month."
Chi Xiaoduo didn't know what to say anymore, is this the rhythm of voluntarily handing in the card? ! He hurriedly said: "Then I will take care of the money for you, and if you want it, you can ask me to get it."
Xiang Cheng said, "It doesn't matter, I count on you."
Chi Xiaoduo laughed heartily, put away the card, and walked away in a hurry.
Xiang Cheng didn't speak any more, just looked at his clothes in the mirror, obviously very satisfied with Chi Xiaoduo's eyes.
Chi Xiaoduo roared in his heart. At night, he huddled under the tortoise shell blanket and called his best friend, proudly telling her that he had mastered Xiang Cheng's financial power!
The best friend said: "Oh, many men are like this. It's not surprising. He eats yours and lives in yours. The rent hasn't been paid yet. If you give it to you, you won't cheat him. Just ask you for the money. What a deal. .”
Chi Xiaoduo was trembling on the bed with joy, two sunfish eyes were exposed from the tortoise shell, and said, "There's a lot of money, and it depends on how well a man treats you, not how much money he gives you, but what he gives you. How many percent of his property, the real estate company your father introduced to you last time, has hundreds of millions, if you take care of it all... "
My best friend didn't expect to lie on the phone for a late-night chat, and didn't want to listen to Chi Xiaoduo's nagging at all, but he grabbed him and talked for a long time, and finally hung up the phone reluctantly.
Xiang Cheng has performed well in the past few days, and has not picked up any customers. On the second day and the third day... he is responsible for making breakfast and picking up Chi Xiaoduo. Together, of course Chi Xiaoduo ignored them.
"He's already done good." Chi Xiaoduo said, "You shouldn't be a male publicist."
Wang Ren said: "Okay, I don't care about you anymore, you will understand after learning your lesson."
In fact, think about it, it’s okay for Chi Xiaoduo to be cheated once or twice, and it doesn’t seem like there is any big problem with Xiang Cheng. Wang Ren has a lot of friends, and Chi Xiaoduo can basically settle anything that happens, so just ignore him . Chi Xiaoduo was always a little curious about Xiang Cheng, if he didn't go out at night, would he pick up guests during the day
Once when he went home to look for reference books at noon, he found that Xiang Cheng was cleaning the windows at home, and he was so moved that he burst into tears. Maybe he was riding a bicycle around during the day to find a job
Chi Xiaoduo was eagerly looking forward to the weekend. When the weekend came, he could go home and be alone with Xiang Cheng. Even the boss of the design institute asked him to work overtime to make up for the three-day skipping work this week. Chi Xiaoduo immediately unleashed his murderous aura. . The boss had no choice but to stay away.
After the design institute has produced the drawings, everyone can take a breather, arrive late and leave early, spend ten and a half days without doing business, and get together to stay up late and work overtime when there is a project. It's late spring recently, just released a picture, everyone is lazy, Chi Xiaoduo is also happy to skip work early, call Xiang Cheng at 3:00 pm, and ask him to pick him up.
Xiang Cheng happened to be wandering around Haizhu District, and every time Chi Xiaoduo asked him, he was wandering around, and the call was cut off right after he called today.
Chi Xiaoduo called again, turned off the phone, called again, turned off the phone again, half an hour later, Chi Xiaoduo thought to himself what are you doing? Could it be that he was really picking up customers, but Xiang Cheng appeared directly in his office.
"What's the matter?" Xiang Cheng asked.
Colleagues have met Xiang Cheng several times, so Chi Xiaoduo dragged him out and sneaked out, saying: "Skip work, I asked where you are, go shopping, and cook something delicious for me tonight."
Xiang Cheng took Chi Xiaoduo's bag on his back, and the two entered the elevator.
"Why do you keep getting disconnected?" Chi Xiaoduo said.
"It's scrapped." Xiang Cheng said, "I'll buy a new phone next month."
Chi Xiaoduo began to feel that it doesn't matter whether they talk about love or not. If they can just live with Xiang Cheng like this, it doesn't matter whether they love or not. These days, he feels that many things in life are fun, although he knows that Xiang Cheng may not have other thoughts about him.
It's just that they both care about each other's feelings, just like when Chi Xiaoduo finished speaking, Xiang Cheng went to cut his hair short. Every day, they think about many things for Chi Xiaoduo. This is also between boys and boys, buddy Children care about each other's friendship.
"Let me see?" Chi Xiaoduo asked.
"Forget it." Xiang Cheng was embarrassed to take it out and said, "Can I apply for 800 yuan to buy a new mobile phone?"
"Of course." Chi Xiaoduo smiled and said, "Buy a better one."
Chi Xiaoduo made some calculations, he helped Wang Ren review the pictures, Wang Ren had to give him 10,000 yuan, just to buy two new mobile phones, and his own had to be replaced, so he began to harass Wang Ren, telling him to call over the labor fee quickly .
"Will you check the score tomorrow?" Xiang Cheng asked.
"Yeah." Chi Xiaoduo said, "I don't know if I can live."
"It must pass." Xiang Cheng listened to Chi Xiaoduo talking about his water supply and drainage engineer certificate every day, and he remembered that N was a lot of things. Chi Xiaoduo then said, "Bring me your mobile phone."
"In your trouser pocket, touch it yourself." Xiang Cheng rode a bicycle, facing the bright afternoon sun, and went home with Chi Xiaoduo.
Chi Xiaoduo fumbled back and forth. After touching for a while, both of them froze.
Xiang Cheng: "..."
Chi Xiaoduo: "..."
"Another pocket." There were three black lines on Xiang Cheng's head.
"I'm sorry." Chi Xiaoduo blushed, and Xiang Cheng was wearing a pair of thin sweatpants. He touched that spot a little, and Xiang Cheng became hard when he touched it.
Chi Xiaoduo took out a scrapped Nokia, which was still pasted with transparent tape on the back, and the screen was covered with scars.
"How long has it been used?" Chi Xiaoduo said thunderously.
"Twelve years." Xiang Cheng said.
Chi Xiaoduo decided to get a new phone for Xiang Cheng. He began to understand that Xiang Cheng's past life might have been really poor, but he didn't ask any further questions. Maybe Xiang Cheng also liked this kind of life.
"Have you found a job?" Chi Xiaoduo asked.
"No." Xiang Cheng said, "A fellow villager promised to introduce me."
The two bought groceries and brought them home to cook like a young couple. Xiang Cheng took out a snuff bottle from his sports bag, put it on the bookshelf, and went into the kitchen to wash his hands and cook.
"Are you cleaning today?" Chi Xiaoduo asked.
"Clean up your things, I don't dare to move them." Xiang Cheng said, "I'll clean them tomorrow."
Chi Xiaoduo's professional books were piled up in a mess, and he left them alone after reading them. Xiang Cheng didn't dare to collect them randomly, for fear that he might still be useful. On Friday afternoon, Chi Xiaoduo decided to clean up the sundries and turned on the music. Xiang Cheng was cooking in the kitchen, and Chi Xiaoduo was cleaning the living room.
what! Life is wonderful!
Huh? what is this? A snuff bottle
Does Xiang Cheng still smoke snuff? Chi Xiaoduo took a look at the snuff bottle. The lapis lazuli artwork is really beautiful. There is also a picture of a girl with fox ears on it. The snuff bottle is only the size of a palm.
What does it feel like to take snuff when you open the lid to a jug full of pink powder? But isn't the snuff black, inhaled directly into the nose? Why is it all pink inside
Chi Xiaoduo leaned over to the mouth of the bottle and sniffed it curiously.
"Ha-chirp!" Chi Xiaoduo sneezed.
Chi Xiaoduo: "..."
Chi Xiaoduo: "???"
Chi Xiaoduo looked down at the snuff bottle in his hand.
Does Xiang Cheng still smoke snuff? try it
Chi Xiaoduo leaned over to the mouth of the bottle and sniffed it curiously.
"Ha-ha chirp!" Chi Xiaoduo sneezed.
Chi Xiaoduo: "..."
Chi Xiaoduo: "???"
Chi Xiaoduo looked down at the snuff bottle in his hand.
Chi Xiaoduo sniffed the snuff and sneezed, and forgot about the snuff after sniffing, and sniffed and sneezed again.
Forgot to smell, forgot to smell, forgot to smell...
Ha chirp! Sniff Ha Chiew! Sniff Ha Chiew! Sniff ha chirp sniff ha chirp sniff ha chirp sniff ha chirp sniff ha chirp sniff ha chirp sniff ha chirp sniff ha chirp... so infinite loop.
…
After fifteen minutes, the song ends automatically.
"Steamed or braised...don't touch!"
Xiang Cheng came out of the kitchen and was about to ask Chi Xiaoduo for advice with a fish in hand. When he saw Chi Xiaoduo holding a snuff bottle with a puzzled expression on his face, he lost his mind and stepped forward to snatch the snuff bottle.
"Is your snuff bottle?" Chi Xiaoduo said, "Is it empty? Is it for snuff?"
Xiang Cheng: "..."
Chi Xiaoduo: "..."
Xiang Cheng looked into the snuff bottle, there was nothing in it, he stood there for a while, with a horrible expression on his face.
Chi Xiaoduo: "?"
