Jiang Shaoqing was taken aback by the words that sounded like thunder.
Xu Ce's appearance is actually very obvious. It's not that Jiang Shaoqing didn't recognize him. It's just that the person who called last night and said "the company is a little busy recently" suddenly changed and appeared in front of him the next day. No one can easily recognize it.
What's more, the two haven't seen each other for a long time since they graduated from high school. The man in front of him has changed a lot in the past few years. The sexy Adam's apple and strong inverted triangle figure make him full of mature male charm.
However, his temper was still as stinky as before, and the displeasure in his heart was all written on his face.
Look, Jiang Shaoqing just didn't recognize him for a while, and his eyebrows were wrinkled...
The large dog beside him was as arrogant as his master. He seemed to sense his master's displeasure, his tail wagged even more, and he kept sticking his tongue out at Jiang Shaoqing, "Wow! Woow!" That posture almost rushed to bite.
Jiang Shaoqing hurriedly took a step back and looked at it warily.
Xu Ce patted the big dog's head to calm it down, and then asked, "Why, don't you know me? Have I changed so much?"
"I'm just too surprised to recognize it." Jiang Shaoqing looked up at him and commented, "You're much more handsome than you were in high school."
"..." Xu Ce's heart was suddenly overjoyed, and he really wanted to rush over to hug this honest man and give him a hard kiss.
- Of course I'm more handsome than before, you really have a vision after a while.
Someone who was praised immediately became complacent, and the depressed mood of not being recognized was also swept away. He touched his nose and said, "Are you wearing an apron to cook?"
"Well, I just came back from get off work." Jiang Shaoqing paused and asked suspiciously, "How did you find me here?"
"On a business trip to Changsha, I wanted to drop by to see you, so I asked someone to check your address." Xu Ce said, "Are you going to block me at the door and continue chatting?"
Jiang Shaoqing's ears turned red, and he quickly gave up a seat, "Come in."
One person and one dog coolly bypassed Jiang Shaoqing and walked into the room, as if they were the masters here.
Jiang Shaoqing wiped the sweat from his forehead and turned to enter the room.
Xu Ce had already sat on the sofa consciously, looking around with scrutiny eyes. The big dog was barking beside him. Xu Ce gently kicked it with his toes and said, "Don't bark."
The dog obediently closed its mouth and lay down obediently beside the sofa.
Jiang Shaoqing: "..."
Xu Ce raised his head and explained, "It's called JOJO, and it's my pet. This time the branch has something to deal with. I'm going to stay in Changsha for a long time, so I brought it here." He patted the big dog on the head, "Go, get to know you well, or I won't give you a meal."
JOJO immediately ran to Jiang Shaoqing obediently, rubbed Jiang Shaoqing's palm with his big head, and wagged his tail vigorously at him.
Obviously it is a mighty and domineering Alaskan dog, but this action is full of coquettish and flattering.
Jiang Shaoqing felt his heart softened by its soft fur. He couldn't help but reach out to touch its big head and asked, "When did you start keeping pets?"
Xu Ce said: "I was so bored abroad that I raised a dog. When I first bought it, it was still a little small, but it has grown so big after a few years."
Jiang Shaoqing glanced down at it, and it happened to meet its wet black eyes. It seemed that he noticed that if he didn't please the man, the owner would not give him food. JOJO immediately stuck out his pink tongue and licked Jiang Shao in a pleasing manner. The back of the hand.
Jiang Shaoqing was ticklish and hurriedly retracted his hand.
Seeing that it was going to stick out its tongue to lick it, Xu Ce ordered, "Come here!"
The owner gave an order, and the big dog had to obediently return to the owner. It stood beside the sofa, and its height was flush with the owner's waist. In addition, Xu Ce was full of aura, and it was really majestic to bring this big dog.
Jiang Shaoqing couldn't help but smile and said, "As expected of your dog."
The owner has the same virtue as the dog, he walks coolly, and he likes to show his prestige...
Of course, Xu Ce didn't know that Jiang Shaoqing had already equate him with the Alaskan dog.
After rubbing the pet's head, Xu Ce looked up at Jiang Shaoqing and asked, "Shaoqing, can I stay with you temporarily tonight?"
Jiang Shaoqing said in surprise, "You didn't book a hotel?"
Xu Ce pretended to be calm and said, "This business trip is in a hurry, and I haven't had time to book a hotel."
Then you can also order now, right
When he met his gaze, Jiang Shaoqing swallowed those words and said euphemistically, "I'm a mess here, I'm afraid you won't be used to it."
In fact, Jiang Shaoqing's house was very clean.
The room he rented is far from the city, so the environment is very good and the price is relatively cheap. There are two bedrooms and one living room, one serves as a bedroom and the other serves as a study. Although the kitchen is small, it is fully equipped. There is also a water heater in the bathroom. Jiang Shaoqing is very satisfied with this place.
It's just that the house with two bedrooms and one living room is just right for one person, and it's a bit crowded for two people... Not to mention there is a big dog.
Jiang Shaoqing's words obviously meant refusal, but Xu Ce said as if he hadn't heard it, "It's okay, I can sleep on the sofa and make do with it tonight."
Jiang Shaoqing suggested, "Why don't I go to a nearby hotel and ask for you..."
"A few moments." Xu Ce interrupted him suddenly and whispered, "You hate me so much? Can't you stay overnight at your house?"
Xu Ce lowered his head in frustration and said, "Okay, I'll go now."
After speaking, he stood up, turned around and left with his luggage, JOJO also stood up smartly, and followed the master's footsteps with his big tail.
Looking at his back, Jiang Shaoqing immediately softened his heart, and hurriedly pulled him and said, "I didn't mean that, I was afraid that my house was too simple and you would not be used to it."
Xu Ce must have stayed in a five-star hotel when he went out. Although the foldable sofa in Jiang Shaoqing's study could be pulled out and used as a bed, Xu Ce's size couldn't sleep.
However, Jiang Shaoqing couldn't help but soften his heart when he saw the man turned away with a disappointed face. An old classmate who hasn't seen him for a few years, it's actually nothing to stay for one night to catch up with the old days. The big deal is to give him his bed and go to the study by himself.
Jiang Shaoqing said, "If you don't mind, just stay here."
"I don't mind, thank you." Xu Ce was happy then, stopped, turned around and sat back.
Jiang Shaoqing asked, "Have you eaten yet?"
Xu Ce said, "No."
"Then wait a moment, I'll make something to eat." Jiang Shaoqing turned around and entered the kitchen. As soon as he went in with his front foot, Xu Ce followed him in with his hind foot. While looking around in the kitchen, he said, "I brought it with me. Here comes the dog food, you find me a bowl, and I'll feed JOJO something to eat first."
Jiang Shaoqing gave a "hmm" and found a large bowl from the cabinet and handed it to him.
Xu Ce took out the dog food from the suitcase, got half of the bowl, beckoned to call JOJO over, JOJO obediently ran over to eat with his head down, Xu Ce squatted beside it and gently smoothed it.
The Alaskan dog's hair is relatively long, the fluffy hair is very soft to the touch, and the black and white hair is patchwork, which is particularly beautiful under the sunlight.
Looking from the angle of Jiang Shaoqing, you can just see Xu Ce's profile.
The outline of the man's face is as sharp as a knife, and the corners of his eyes are raised, always giving people a sense of aloofness. However, at this time, he squatted down and patiently fed his pet, and the expression on his face softened. The golden sunlight of the evening shone on the man through the window, which made people feel extra warm.
***
Because of Xu Ce's sudden visit, Jiang Shaoqing temporarily added two dishes, so the dinner time was postponed to 7 o'clock in the evening.
Shredded cabbage, vegetarian fried snow peas, steamed pork ribs, tomato and egg soup, three dishes and one soup are all home-cooked dishes.
Jiang Shaoqing usually eats out and his cooking skills are average. He only cooks casual meals at home on weekends, so there are not many dishes in the refrigerator. Xu Ce came too suddenly, and Jiang Shaoqing did not have time to buy them. He had no choice but to find all the dishes that could be eaten in the refrigerator to serve Xu Ce.
Although it is not rich, it is enough for two people.
As soon as the food came to the table, Xu Ce began to bury his head in eating it, and he was very moved in his heart - the dishes he cooked by himself in a few moments, I never dared to dream of it before.
Jiang Shaoqing was a little puzzled. He knew that his cooking skills were not excellent. Xu Ce's family was very good and he had seen the world. He was afraid that Xu Ce would dislike the dishes he cooked. Ce was eating deliciously, just like eating delicacies from mountains and seas, which really surprised Jiang Shaoqing.
The man buried his head to eat, very similar to the Alaskan dog next to him. One person and one dog were eating what was in front of him with their heads down, and they were enjoying themselves. Jiang Shaoqing wanted to laugh and hurriedly restrained it. He always felt that Xu Ce was a bit strange. When he was angry, he was like a fierce wolf in the forest. His sharp eyes could almost cut people into pieces; when he was happy, he was like a large domestic dog, shaking his head. Tail happily buried his head to eat, looking a little cute...
It's just a few home-cooked dishes. Is he crazy hungry? How did you clean the dishes
When Jiang Shaoqing saw Xu Ce quickly sweeping away the plate, he couldn't help but say, "Are you full? I'll make another if you're not full."
Xu Ce licked his mouth contentedly, put the empty bowl back on the table, burped, and said, "I'm full."
how to be like a child...
Jiang Shaoqing smiled and began to clean up the dishes. Xu Ce consciously got up to help, but the clumsy man broke a bowl as soon as he got to the kitchen. Jiang Shaoqing immediately kicked him out: "Don't make trouble, I'll just come."
Xu Ce had no choice but to look beside him with his arms crossed.
For so many years, he has known the character of the same table. Jiang Shaoqing seemed serious and could not even joke about it, but the man's ears were really soft. Back then, many girls used his soft personality to ask him to give Xu Cesai a love letter. Every time Xu Ce saw him secretly stuffed a love letter, Jiang Shaoqing would have to be dragged out and beaten up.
After so many years, his soft-hearted problem still hasn't changed. Heiner Baichuan wants to form a team. As soon as he told him, he agreed, and he was full of praise for the captain...
However, soft ears are also beneficial.
For example, today, Xu Ce desperately wanted to stay here with him. Although he was not very happy, when Xu Ce was about to leave, he left people behind.
Hey... I really want to stick around and stay with him every day...
Xu Ce stared at Jiang Shaoqing's back in a daze, his mind was constantly flashing through his three years of youth—from the first day he became the same table with him, he was displeased and deliberately embarrassed. He was tempted and fell in love, and his youthful past seemed to be extraordinarily distant, but in this quiet night, under the warm yellow light, looking at the man in an apron washing dishes, Xu Ce suddenly felt a sense of walking. Go up and hug him tightly.
After a while, I miss you so much...
Do you know that I came back for you
Maybe in your eyes, Xu Ce is just an awkward deskmate...
Thinking of this, Xu Ce became a little depressed again. He reached out and scratched his hair irritably, and said, "I have brought my own toiletries. Can I use your bathroom? I want to take a shower."
Jiang Shaoqing said, "The bathroom is over there, you can use it as you like."
Xu Ce nodded and led JOJO to the bathroom.
The bathroom is very clean, shampoo, shower gel, neatly placed on the sink.
There is a shower head next to him. When he thinks that the man has to bathe naked here every day, Xu Ce can't help but feel agitated. Sliding, sliding across the fair skin of the chest, and...
Wait, can't think any more!
Xu Ce touched his nose and found that he actually had two lines of nosebleeds.
JOJO wagged his tail and looked at his master curiously. Xu Ce wiped his nosebleed with a dark face, rolled up his trousers and gave the big dog a bath first.
After washing it, he drove it out of the bathroom. Xu Ce took off his clothes and washed it by himself. Because of his anxiety, the water heater was turned on in the wrong direction, and the icy cold water was poured down on his head. Xu Ce was so cold that he sneezed several times. Instead, he suppressed all the evil fire on his body.
Jiang Shaoqing came out of the kitchen and saw a picture that gave him a headache—
The washed JOJO wandered around the house while flicking his tail, from the bathroom to the living room, from the living room to the study... Water marks everywhere he went!
Xu Ce didn't care about it, he threw it out after bathing it...
Jiang Shaoqing reluctantly took the mop and dragged the ground behind it, while quickly catching up with its footsteps, he stepped forward to stop the mighty big dog, gently smoothed it, and said, "Don't run around. , darling, don't run around."
JOJO seemed very happy that Jiang Shaoqing gave it a smooth hair, his big head comfortably rubbed against Jiang Shaoqing's palm, and then he flicked his tail forcefully to express his love for him.
As a result, Jiang Shaoqing was also swept away by it.
Jiang Shaoqing: "..."
He suddenly felt that it was the stupidest decision he had ever made to keep this man and a dog behind.
