The autumn rain fell into the night, and the courtyard was fragrant, and the two pots of Yelaixiang were pecked by the rain and nodded.
"Yelaixian is resistant to drought and barrenness, but it is not resistant to waterlogging and cold. It can be raised outdoors in summer and watered more. When autumn comes and it gets cold, it will be moved inside the house. Just keep it moist, but don’t overwater.”
"Then what counts as autumn? What counts as cold weather?"
"After your birthday, after your birthday, move into the house."
Shen Shiyan put aside the support in his hand, picked up the two pots of flowers and rushed into the side room.
"Know the eaves."
As soon as he put down the flower pot, he heard a cry. He turned around and saw Meng Xintang standing at the door.
"Did it wake you up?" After saying this, Shen Shiyan's feet didn't stop. He quickly walked over Meng Xintang and stepped into the rain screen again, "I forgot that it might rain today, and the flowers haven't moved."
Shen Shiyan was wet all over, his thin pajamas were locked by the rain, and his hair was on his forehead, causing the rain to flow down.
"No, I heard the rain." Meng Xintang said.
Shen Shiyan was propping up the flower shed on the other side, holding up the metal pole with both hands, and leaning against one shoulder.
"I come."
Before Shen Shiyan didn't notice him, Meng Xintang had already taken hold of him. In terms of stature, Shen Shiyan is a little shorter and thinner than Meng Xintang, so with Meng Xintang's helper, Shen Shiyan raised the stand without much effort.
The next rain-blocking action went well. The two didn't even have a conversation. Where Shen Shiyan's hand was, Meng Xintang seemed to know where to hold his hand. He carefully avoided the flowers under his feet. , to the other side of the yard.
After setting up the supports on both sides of the yard, Shen Shiyan walked around the flowers again, and brought a pot of flowers that couldn't help but be cold into the house.
"Do you want to move this pot too?" Meng Xintang immediately pointed to a pot and asked.
"Well, please."
After finishing what should be done, what should be settled, Meng Xintang was almost wet. He stood in the flower room, smacking the water, watching Shen Shiyan, who was also wet, patiently squatting on the ground to check the amount of water in each flower pot.
"Fortunately, it's not raining much, just don't water it tomorrow." Shen Shiyan muttered in a low voice, then raised his hand and rubbed his shoulders unconsciously.
I was a little anxious just now, and it was useless to correct my posture, as if my shoulders were tired again.
Shen Shiyan squatted less than half an arm in front of Meng Xintang, and with a slight raise of his hand, Meng Xintang could press his shoulder.
Only the eyelashes moved slightly, but the hands did not move.
"Go take a shower," Shen Shiyan suddenly got up and pointed back at him, "It's all wet, it's getting cold now, and it's easy to catch a cold."
Meng Xintang was stunned. He sniffed the aroma that slipped into his nose, and answered nonchalantly, "Why are you so fragrant?"
When he was squatting just now, he didn't feel that this action seemed to bring the fragrance on his body to move along with it.
Shen Shiyan raised his arm and smelled it, but couldn't smell it. He looked around, pointed to the two pots of Yelaixiang, and said, "It's probably because I ran two steps when I first moved them, and the fragrance followed me."
A shower of rain seemed to wake up Shen Shiyan's wine. He remembered that he was so drunk just now that he didn't even look for the toiletries for Meng Xintang, and even laughed and said that he was a little dizzy just now. He pushed Meng Xintang out. The flower room had an umbrella, but it was all wet anyway, so it wasn't worth playing. The two simply trotted and entered the house.
Shen Shiyan said to let Meng Xintang wash first, but Meng Xintang read on Shen Shiyan's shoulders, afraid that he would suffer from the cold again, so he said that he would go make a ginger tea first, anyway, he had to go out to the kitchen, so why not come back Wash again.
Shen Shiyan found him another dress, and when he came out of the shower, he saw Shen Shiyan with wet hair rummaging through the cabinet. He wiped his hair twice, put a towel around his neck, and poured a cup of ginger tea for Shen Shiyan.
"What are you looking for? Come and drink this first, so you don't catch a cold."
"Looking for the plaster, I remember there are two more..." Shen Shiyan turned around when he heard the voice, and looked at Meng Xintang. I can't take my eyes off a bit.
Meng Xintang was wearing a sweater that he had bought earlier, a white top, and gray trousers with white bars. He was obviously so casual, but he looked very tall and straight when he wore it on Meng Xintang. Moreover, this is very different from Meng Xintang's usual dressing style. Shen Shiyan looked fresh and felt that Meng Xintang was much younger now.
Meng Xintang saw that he didn't move, and directly took the cup to him, handed it to him, and then frowned worriedly and asked, "Why are you looking for plaster? Is your shoulder still hurting?"
"It just hurts a little."
With that said, Shen Shiyan drank the ginger tea, took out a large bag from the cupboard, put it on the table and searched it, and finally found the remaining two stickers in a small white plastic bag.
The place where Shen Shiyan pressed his fingers was behind his shoulders. He couldn't see it himself, so he went into the back room and stood in front of the full-length mirror. Meng Xintang also followed.
He put the towel on the hanger, walked to Shen Shiyan and said, "I'll help you."
Shen Shiyan just tugged his collar in front of the mirror, when he heard this, he stopped immediately. The collar of this pajamas is a little small, I'm afraid... I have to take off the stickers.
He looked back at Meng Xintang, not knowing what to say.
Meng Xintang thought he didn't hear clearly, so he didn't respond, and explained what he just said again.
"I said I'll help you, but it shouldn't be convenient for you. You press and tell me what hurts, and I'll post it for you."
"It's okay to help," Shen Shiyan replied with a little smirk for some reason, he stood leisurely, waiting to see Meng Xintang's reaction, "but my collar is too small to tear it off, Take off your clothes."
The word "no confusion" is only applicable to dealing with unrelated people. Meng Xintang's heart was disturbed by Shen Shiyan's words. But so many years have not been in vain, his face is still very calm, looking at Shen Shiyan's smirk face, he said normally: "Well, take it off."
After saying that, he pulled the plaster from Shen Shiyan's hand.
The two looked at each other for two seconds, Shen Shiyan raised his eyebrows, turned around, and took off his shirt. The naked upper body filled the entire mirror, and indiscriminately occupied Meng Xintang's entire eyes.
Just after taking a shower, the two of them even smelled the same. He was in front of him and he was behind, and there was a delicate fragrance that surrounded the beauty of a small universe. Meng Xintang only needed to take one more step forward, and the breath he exhaled could sweep over Shen Shiyan's shoulders.
"This is the center." Shen Shiyan faced the mirror and pressed his hand twice.
Damn, this guy has nice fingernails.
The white light came down, as if a layer of filter had been added, making Shen Shiyan's fingernails a very pale pink. When the fingers were pressed down, due to that force, the fingertips turned white, and when they were lifted again, they returned to pale pink again. This time, it just took Meng Xintang's heartbeat away.
Meng Xintang never imagined that one day he would be fascinated by a row of fingernails. With a positive color in his heart, he secretly scolded himself: Color makes wisdom faint.
He cleared his throat and took off the plaster. He wanted to make a final confirmation before he started, so he took the plaster and gently touched the place where Shen Shiyan had just touched with his other hand: "Is this right?"
When I touched my hands, I felt something was wrong. He suddenly looked forward, just in time to meet Shen Shiyan in the mirror. Shen Shiyan pursed his lips and nodded at him: "Yes."
Without saying anything, Meng Xintang secretly moved his finger down.
Shen Shiyan looked at the man with low eyebrows in the mirror and felt that after putting the plaster on, he put his palm on his shoulder and pressed the plaster. Inevitably, there is a little skin-to-skin.
"Do you have a warm water bag at home? Let's put a hot compress on it." Meng Xintang threw the peeled paper into the trash can beside him and asked.
Shen Shiyan was distracted by the touch just now, and nodded casually when he heard the words.
"Is it water or electricity?"
"Watered."
Meng Xintang then said, "Then I'll go and boil some hot water for you."
After he finished speaking, he handed him the jacket that Shen Shiyan had thrown on the chair, and told him, "Hurry up and put on your clothes, be careful of catching a cold."
Shen Shiyan took the clothes and held them in his hands without moving. He looked at the back of Meng Xintang walking out, and tilted his head with interest.
"Meng Xintang."
Shen Shiyan let out a cry, just when Meng Xintang was about to step out of the room.
Meng Xintang stopped and turned around.
"how?"
Shen Shiyan took two steps forward, still without a shirt on, and came to Meng Xintang frankly. He only needs to raise his eyes a little bit to meet Meng Xintang's eyes.
Meng Xintang's eyes are very attractive. It's not that he is boastful, but that many times, he can see a quiet life in these eyes. He has never seen such eyes, as if he can tolerate everything about you, and he can accept everything in this world.
But he had never seen the look in the mirror just now, and he didn't know how to understand it.
"I told you, I like men, right?"
To say that this person didn't think about anything, he couldn't believe it.
The rain outside the window did not stop, and the sound of the rain washed the night, making it seem that the night was not so quiet and empty.
Meng Xintang was silent.
Shen Shiyan asked another question, this question was more like asking knowingly, more like asking himself.
"Do you like women?"
Later, Meng Xintang thought, if he and Shen Shiyan were younger and didn't care, or if he himself didn't have so many concerns, after the question of Shen Shiyan was raised, he would definitely say, " I like you." If this is the case, that night is probably not just a rainy night when they are alone, but a dry wood that can't be burnt out, and the shadow does not ask when you wake up and dream.
However, before they met, they had seen so many things in the world, learned so many restraints and choices, and had the distance they wanted to reach.
"If you can find a lover in your life, it's not easy. I don't think you must use 'men and women' to limit love."
Shen Shiyan shook his hand holding the clothes twice, then grinned and smiled, he dragged a long voice and said, "Ah, that's it."
They are all measured people, and a little guess should never be pointed out.
It was three o'clock in the morning, but no one mentioned sleep.
Meng Xintang boiled the water, filled the warm water bag and came back, and saw Shen Shiyan sitting on the chair in the front hall, swiping his phone.
When he went over, Shen Shiyan didn't allow Shen Shiyan to take the warm water bag, and directly put the warm water bag wrapped in a thin towel on his shoulders. Shen Shiyan seemed to be stunned before looking up at him.
"I forgot to tell you just now that your phone was ringing, and I saw that you were sound asleep, so I didn't call you." Meng Xintang lowered his head and carefully helped Shen Shiyan apply heat. The temperature of the water was not low, so he didn't dare to stop in one place all the time.
"Well," Shen Shiyan said, "I saw it."
Thinking of the content of the text message, Meng Xintang suddenly wondered, with Shen Shiyan's character, how he would reply to the ex-boyfriend.
"When I was hesitating to give you my phone, I accidentally caught a glimpse of the message." Meng Xintang felt that he should apologize, "Sorry."
Shen Shiyan stopped what he was doing and looked at Meng Xintang very seriously. For the first time, someone apologized to themselves for accidentally looking at their mobile phone.
"Why are you looking at me?" Meng Xintang asked.
Shen Shiyan laughed lazily, looked at him and said, "I'm thinking about how strong your principles are and how high your moral requirements are."
Meng Xintang looked down at him and closed his eyes. His mind was disturbed by the two sudden questions just now, and now he really wanted to block Shen Shiyan's eyes with his hands - he couldn't stand this man smiling at him the most.
Just when he wanted to focus on the hot compress again, Shen Shiyan suddenly opened his mouth again.
"Do you want to know why I broke up with him?"
Mind reading? Meng Xintang doubted.
But after hesitating for a few seconds, he said honestly, "Yes."
"Body cheating."
Regardless of the surprise these four words brought to Meng Xintang, Shen Shiyan turned the phone and continued: "After him [later?] came to tell me that there is no man who can't face a seductive body without I don't believe the reaction. Now I think you are the kind of person he said you don't have, and you shouldn't look down on lust and material desire."
That night, Meng Xintang finally knew what kind of person Shen Shiyan was looking for.
Regret is only a momentary thing, he has never experienced such a dilemma.
After a long time, his voice rang out.
"Shiyan, can I ask you a question?"
"what?"
"What kind of love do you want?"
It was this question that made Shen Shiyan determine Meng Xintang's love. One thing, if someone seriously asks what you want, he must have thought about giving it to you.
It will be easy for two understanding people to chat, as long as they confess to each other. But at this moment, Shen Shiyan was suddenly a little uncomfortable, and he was worried about gains and losses. Although he finally followed his own heart, he could not deny that he had just been looking forward to it and was afraid for a moment. Meng Xintang just couldn't give it. He can give a whole answer to include all the love, but in that case he is still Shen Shiyan.
"Three views are together, trust each other, and accompany each other." Shen Shiyan laughed, "Actually, it's nothing special, you should be busy with work, if you have nothing to do, take a walk after dinner, enjoy a flower, and listen to a song. Son, go out to play occasionally and look at the scenery. Maybe I will experience a lot of helplessness, but I hope my love will not have it. "
After a long pause, Shen Shiyan added another sentence.
"Actually, he said something right, I'm too idealistic."
Meng Xintang wanted to use his curled fingers to touch his close face.
At that moment, Meng Xintang felt that he loved Shen Shiyan so badly that even if he lived his whole life alone, he could still love him to the end of his life.
But he couldn't bear to love him.
