Xiao Han wanted to understand many things, and realized that he was actually very slow. It may be because he was too young at the beginning, he didn't know how to express his importance to a person, when he was young, he would only irritate Qin Mo, and seeing Qin Mo's angry look was very cute.
It wasn't until Qin Mo left that the intense longing began to accumulate day by day, and Qin Mo's name became more and more deeply embedded in his heart.
Now meeting again, looking at Qin Mo who has changed a lot but is still familiar in front of him, Xiao Han finally understands that all this is because of "like".
After thinking about this point clearly, Xiao Han became more determined in his heart.
— Now that Qin Mo is back, they can start over, whether it's a game or a relationship.
— This time, he won't be as stupid as he was when he was young. He will use his own way to protect this person well.
Taking a deep breath to calm himself down, Xiao Han looked back at Qin Mo, put his arms around Qin Mo's shoulder lightly, and said, "I still don't quite understand the usage of some words, we are friends, don't be angry, okay?"
Hearing what he said, Qin Mo felt relieved, and said with a smile, "It's okay, I don't mind. Your Chinese is much better than before, so learn it slowly."
"Well, I need more advice from you in the future." Xiao Han said this, but he thought in his heart that it would be a good choice for Qin Mo to slowly accept his approach from the beginning as a friend. Qin Mo is a typical character who prefers softness to toughness. The more you force him, the more he will not give in. On the contrary, if you treat him sincerely, he will definitely remember it.
The two rested for a while on the tenth floor, and then climbed up to the seventeenth floor in one breath. Qin Mo took out the key to open the door and found a pair of clean slippers for Xiao Han.
Xiao Han changed his shoes and entered the door, and found that the house was very delicately decorated. The fabric sofa in the living room looked soft and comfortable, the colors of the curtains and furniture complemented each other, and the dining table was covered with elegant tablecloths of matching colors. There is a flower stand on the balcony, on which various plants are placed. Some green plants have branches and leaves that almost hang down to the ground, and some pots are blooming. Obviously, they are well taken care of by the owner.
Qin Mo is a person who knows how to live. The house is tidy and tidy, and there is no debris in his field of vision.
"Let's put the suitcase in the study for now, and pack it up after dinner." Qin Mo helped Xiao Han carry the luggage, and Xiao Han followed him to the study.
The study room is relatively simple, except for the computer and the desk, there is only one wall of bookshelves, on which are some books and some e-sports related souvenirs, including the championship medals won by Xiao Han and Qin Mo in the World Series together, and fans The figurines they gave him, the commemorative peripherals from Fengse Club, etc., are full of memories. It can be seen that Qin Mo has never been able to forget the years when he was an e-sports player, so he treasured all these things.
Qin Mo put the box on the ground and said, "You use your mobile phone to surf the Internet for a while, and I'll cook."
"Let me help you." Xiao Han was not interested in going online, so he followed Qin Mo to the kitchen to help him.
When Qin Mo arrived in the kitchen, he rolled up his sleeves and put on his apron. The water at home was cut off during the day, but fortunately, he picked up a few basins of water and put them aside in advance, which could be used to wash vegetables. Xiao Han came to help, and he arranged a task for Xiao Han: "Go and wash the broccoli."
"Oh." Xiao Han put a large broccoli flower into the pot, turned it over and over...
"It's not washed like this." Seeing the handsome mixed-race boy clumsily tossing the broccoli, Qin Mo said helplessly, "Forget it, don't be a disservice to me, let me do it."
After finishing speaking, he took the broccoli, quickly cut it into small flowers about three centimeters along the rhizome with a knife, washed it twice, turned on the natural gas, and boiled it in a pot with water. Then he quickly peeled the skin of the bamboo shoots, cut the bamboo shoots into thin shreds, cut a few holes in the chicken wings, and put them in another pot to overwater.
Xiao Han couldn't help, so he had to lean against the kitchen door to watch him work.
Qin Mo, who was cooking with his head down, was not as indifferent as usual, but looked a little gentle under the sunlight. Washing vegetables, chopping vegetables, and boiling water are all done in an orderly manner. Xiao Han likes it more and more. He really wants to go over and hug him tightly from behind—of course, Xiao Han only dares to think about it in his head. He was afraid that the kitchen knife in Qin Mo's hand would greet him.
Qin Mo made cold broccoli, hot and sour bamboo shoots, and fried a plate of Coca-Cola chicken wings. He steamed a few flower rolls and brought them to the restaurant. He handed Xiao Han a pair of chopsticks and said, "My cooking skills are average. , make do with it."
Xiao Han picked up a piece of chicken wing and tasted it, it was soft and sweet, and he couldn't help but praise: "You are too modest, this chicken wing is very delicious, comparable to the craftsmanship of a five-star chef."
"Really?" Qin Mo noticed that Xiao Han was very sweet when he praised people, so he couldn't help but smiled lightly, and said, "Then eat more, I only made three dishes, let's finish them all, don't leave any more."
"Okay." Xiao Han immediately picked up his chopsticks and began to eat unceremoniously.
In fact, Qin Mo's cooking is not as professional as that of the chefs in the Longyin Club restaurant, let alone a five-star chef. But Xiao Han felt that just because Qin Mo was sitting in front of him, his mood was indescribably good. In addition, this dish was cooked by Qin Mo himself, and his appetite also improved, even if he was allowed to eat it now. He could eat burnt vegetables without changing his face.
Xiao Han observed Qin Mo while eating, and he found that Qin Mo ate very elegantly, picking up the food and putting it into his mouth, and then chewing slowly, with a calm expression on his face, unlike some boys in the club. Gobbling a meal like a starved ghost reincarnated, Qin Mo's meal is really "pleasing to the eye", if there is a camera next to it, it can even be directly photographed as a film negative.
Noticing that Xiao Han's gaze was always on him, Qin Mo couldn't help but wonder: "Why, is there something on my face?"
Xiao Han said seriously: "No, I just think you look better the longer you grow."
Qin Mo tapped his bowl with chopsticks: "Eat well, don't talk nonsense."
Xiao Han thought to himself, this sentence is obviously the truth, you are good-looking... But seeing Qin Mo's slightly reproachful gaze, Xiao Han immediately swallowed this sentence, and obediently bowed his head to eat.
***
The three dishes were all eaten, and Xiao Han followed Qin Mo to the kitchen to clean up contentedly. Qin Mo was in charge of washing the dishes, and Xiao Han took the initiative to wipe the table and sweep the floor. The two of them quickly finished cleaning up. Suddenly, there was a "ding" sound in the ear, and the light of the electric thermos in the kitchen turned on.
"Finally a call." Qin Mo turned on the lights in the dining room. The lights he chose were all in warm yellow tones. Under the illumination of the lights, the whole room looked more warm.
"It's inconvenient to have a power outage at the upper floors. How long will it last?" Xiao Han asked, "You can't climb the stairs every day, can you?"
"There was a power outage during the day, and the call came at six in the afternoon. Tomorrow is the last day." Qin Mo said while filling the thermos bottle, "Fortunately, I live on the 17th floor. If I lived on the 33rd floor, I would be exhausted just climbing the stairs. .”
"The view from the seventeenth floor is pretty good." Xiao Han looked out from the floor-to-ceiling windows of the restaurant, then turned around and asked, "How big is your house?"
"140 square meters, three bedrooms and two living rooms."
"You live in three rooms by yourself, besides the study and bedroom, what is the other room for?" Xiao Han walked into the house as he said.
There are two rooms at the end of the hallway. The master bedroom is on the sunny side. With the door open, you can see a large double bed inside, and a wardrobe that covers the entire wall beside the bed. There was another room opposite the master bedroom, the door was just closed, Xiao Han walked over and gently opened the door, but to his surprise, this room was not arranged as a guest room - the room was very empty, with only a white plane in it. Grand piano. The piano was not covered by a cloth, and the row of black and white keys was very clean, obviously someone played it often.
Xiao Han had never heard anyone mention that Qin Mo could play the piano, but when he saw the piano that suddenly appeared at his home, he couldn't help wondering, "You can also play the piano?"
"I learned it for a while when I was a child." Qin Mo walked into the room and introduced, "This piano was a birthday present from my parents when I was ten years old. I moved here when I moved a few years ago."
"Oh." Xiao Han nodded thoughtfully, and lightly pressed the keys with his right hand, and he heard crisp and melodious notes coming from his ears. Grand pianos are generally more expensive than upright pianos. The sound of this piano is very pleasant. The brand should be an imported piano from Germany, which is very valuable. Xiao Han also learned piano when he was young, and he knows a little about piano brands. According to preliminary estimates, the price of this piano exceeds one million. He said that this piano was given by his parents, which shows that his family is quite rich.
Xiao Han suddenly realized that he didn't know Qin Mo well enough. When I met Qin Mo at the age of seventeen, Qin Mo was the apprentice of the captain of the Fengse team, and he was called the "little prince". His impression of Qin Mo has always remained at the level of "e-sports player". As for Qin Mo's The family background is completely unclear. But it is different now. Since you like someone, it is necessary to understand the other person more comprehensively.
"That's right." Xiao Han said suddenly, "My father is a lawyer, and my mother is white. My parents separated when I was young, and I have been living with my father. You should know that, right?"
"I know." Xiao Han is of mixed Chinese and American descent. When he returned to China, his life experience was picked up by reporters. It is not a secret in the e-sports circle, and Qin Mo naturally knows it.
"When I saw this piano, I realized that you were hiding something. You never mentioned your parents to anyone, so you must be the rich second generation?" Xiao Han joked.
"No." Qin Mo said, "My dad used to be very rich, but later he lost a lot in the stock market, and now he's just doing a small business. My mother is a dancer..." He stopped suddenly when he said this, There seemed to be some disappointment in his eyes, and after a moment of silence, he continued, "They are traveling abroad, and they don't usually live with me."
"Oh." Sensing that Qin Mo's mood was not right, Xiao Han didn't ask any more questions.
"There are very few guests at home. I didn't decorate the guest room, only one bedroom." Qin Mo looked at Xiao Han and asked, "Can you sleep with me at night, is that okay?"
"..." Sleeping with me, he didn't know how heart-wrenching his expression was when he said this.
Xiao Han thought happily - that's really great.
Of course, he couldn't show this joy too obviously, touched his nose, and pretended to calmly say: "I think that bed is big enough, so we can sleep together without any problem."
"It's fine if you don't mind." Qin Mo turned around and took Xiao Han's luggage to the bedroom, and asked, "The computer in the study is installed with Dubujianghu, do you want to play the game?"
"No." Xiao Han rubbed his temples, "Playing VR games for too long will cause eye pain, take a rest tonight, there is no need to work so hard."
"I think so too." Qin Mo turned around and went to the living room to turn on the TV. "It's still early, let's watch TV first. Change the channel yourself. The remote control is on the table."
"Okay." Xiao Han took the remote control and switched to the e-sports channel, but the e-sports channel was broadcasting an advertisement. Qin Mo went to the kitchen and brought a plate of fruit, poked a piece of pineapple with a toothpick and handed it to Xiao Han.
Xiao Han didn't take the toothpick, but lowered his head and bit the pineapple, as if Qin Mo was feeding him.
Qin Mo let go helplessly: "The bad habit hasn't changed yet."
Xiao Han used to like to bite Qin Mo's hand when eating fruit, and once almost bit Qin Mo's finger, Qin Mo scolded him angrily: "Are you a dog?" Xiao Han is very innocent Said: "I am a dog."
Recalling the past, Xiao Han couldn't help smiling, and swallowed the pineapple in one gulp.
Many details of getting along with Qin Mo in the past can warm my heart when I recall them now.
There was a period of innocent youth between them, Xiao Han believes that the memories belonging to them will only become more and more beautiful in the future.
