Later, Mi Sheng found Chen Xingze and asked him, "Where are you pretending to be a doorman?"
Chen Xingze didn't speak, and Mi Sheng felt that something was wrong with him and asked, "What's wrong?"
Chen Xingze shook his head, "It's alright." Mi Sheng turned off the fire, opened the steamer, and the heat was bubbling. He used a wet towel across his hands to carry the plate, and was pulled by Chen Xingze, "Wait for the steam to dissipate."
Mi Sheng's slender wrist seemed to wiggle a bit, but his strength was very small, and it didn't matter.
The kitchen was quiet. Half a minute later, Chen Xingze took the towel from Mi Sheng's hand and brought out the plate. The two walked silently to the table in the living room. "Oh, chopsticks..." Mi Sheng remembered that he didn't have cutlery after he was seated. He was about to get up when Chen Xingze held him down again, "I'll go get it."
Mi Sheng sat in the same place and watched Chen Xingze enter the kitchen. Under the table, his palm squeezed the place that Chen Xingze had just touched.
Chen Xingze brought two sets of tableware, and Mi Sheng said, "I'm not hungry, you can eat first."
Chen Xingze took a sip, Mi Sheng looked cautious, until Chen Xingze exclaimed, "This is so delicious", he was relieved, and turned his head to look out the window.
Chen Xingze ate, "Which restaurant's takeaway is this?"
Mi Sheng said lightly: "Forgot."
"forget?"
"Um."
Chen Xingze raised his head, Mi Sheng twisted his body and looked out, his posture was like a lonely crane looking back.
Originally, Chen Xingze was not very hungry, but this meal was so delicious and the atmosphere was too lazy. He took one bite after another, and before he knew it, only a small piece was left. During this time, Mi Sheng was very quiet. The imprint of the sunlight shifted from the table to the corner of the table, and the color became thicker, but the two people who had been in the environment all the time seemed to not feel the change of time at all.
"You take two bites too."
"I said I'm not hungry."
"I'm about to die..."
Mi Sheng turned his head and saw that Chen Xingze was lying on the table, three-quarters of the eight-treasure rice on the plate had been eaten. Chen Xingze is very etiquette when he eats. He divides them and puts them in his own bowls before eating them, leaving a small piece of Eight Treasures Rice neatly left on the plate.
"Help me."
Mi Sheng brought the plate in front of Chen Xingze's eyes for help. He picked up the chopsticks and whispered, "I can't eat you looking at me like this."
Chen Xingze said twice, "Then I'll clean up the kitchen."
He happily went to the kitchen to wash the pot. Mi Sheng put the rest of the Eight Treasures Rice into his mouth little by little. He eats very little, and such a small piece is enough to feed him. Sitting in the chair, the feeling of fullness made him feel very at ease. With the sound of washing and rinsing in the kitchen, Mi Sheng had the illusion that he had lived like this for a long time.
The ringing of the mobile phone brought him back to reality, and Wei Kang called and said that he would come over to get the clothes proofing later.
"I'll be there in half an hour."
Mi Sheng hung up the phone, stunned for two seconds, and suddenly woke up. He came to the door of the kitchen. Chen Xingze had just finished tidying up the kitchen counter and was admiring the fruits of his labor. Mi Sheng said, "Let's go."
Chen Xingze turned his head, "What?"
"Let you go."
Chen Xingze didn't understand what was going on.
Mi Sheng killed him and didn't want Song Boyang's people to meet Chen Xingze, so he pulled Chen Xingze's arm out. "I asked you to come here to solve the takeaway. Now that you have finished eating, let's go quickly."
But Chen Xingze's physique is not so easily shaken, he turned against Lamison. "What's the matter, what happened, wasn't it okay just now?"
Mi Sheng was anxious, "I'll let you go and hear! Can a child not understand what an adult is saying!"
Chen Xingze frowned.
"What did you say?"
Mi Sheng gritted his teeth and said indifferently: "Anyway, hurry up, I still have work later."
The air remained stagnant for five seconds, then Chen Xingze nodded, "Okay, I see." He walked past Mi Sheng and went into the room to get a schoolbag. In the kitchen, Mi Sheng heard the sound of the door being opened, so he reacted and took out a box of small cakes from the refrigerator.
Chen Xingze was changing shoes when a cool cake box suddenly appeared in his ear.
"Are you buying too much takeaway again?"
"Um."
"You can stay and eat by yourself, you didn't eat much of the Babao meal just now." Chen Xingze put on his shoes and straightened up, "I'm leaving."
"Little devil." Mi Sheng stopped him, "angry?"
Chen Xingze turned his back to Mi Sheng and did not answer for a while.
Mi Sheng softened his tone and said, "I really have a job, wait-"
"I just cleaned up your room." Chen Xingze suddenly interrupted Mi Sheng, "As a stylist, why are you throwing your clothes all over the place."
Mi Sheng didn't know what it had to do with what they had just discussed.
Chen Xingze said: "I have already cleaned up for you and put it in the closet."
"… Oh, thanks."
"I saw an organized dress in the closet."
"what?"
"It's not ironed at all, it's clean, and it's better than other clothes."
Mi Sheng looked confused, still didn't understand Chen Xingze's words.
"But it's a little strange," Chen Xingze looked back at Mi Sheng, "That dress is obviously very old, and it was spilled with red wine, and the collar turned yellow. Why do you keep it like that?"
Mi Sheng finally understood what he meant, and all of a sudden there was lightning and thunder in his heart, and the wind was blowing wildly. Someone forcibly pried open the heavenly net he arranged and entered the dream he wove for himself.
Seeing Mi Sheng who was so alert, Chen Xingze's attitude was very relaxed, and he started talking about other things.
"Do you know Brokeback Mountain?"
"… what?"
"A gay movie, have you seen it?"
"Seen."
"At the end of that movie, Ennis took Jack's clothes home and kept them."
Mi Sheng was confused.
"What's the meaning?"
"It's not interesting, I just thought of it, do you like that movie?"
"No gay would hate Brokeback Mountain."
Chen Xingze smiled.
"Well, then I'm leaving."
Chen Xingze didn't ask about the dress, which made Mi Sheng happy.
Chen Xingze left the house, and Mi Sheng didn't close the door immediately. He watched at the door. Chen Xingze walked down half of the stairs and turned around. He raised his head and said to Mi Sheng, "You know, I even bought the DVD of Brokeback Mountain when I was a kid. ."
"Is it… "
"um. Thank you."
"Thanks for what?"
Chen Xingze didn't explain too much, "You still have a job, I'll go first, remember to find me when you're not busy."
Chen Xingze left Mi Sheng's house, walked out of the unit door, and stood for a while.
In fact, he wanted to ask Mi Sheng just now if it was because he said that the dress was good-looking, and Mi Sheng kept it to this day. For some reason, he always felt that the answer was yes.
Chen Xingze took a deep breath, the trees in the community were lush, and the air was filled with the fragrance of grass.
Even though Mi Sheng's reason for keeping this dress is not the same as the plot in "Brokeback Mountain", Chen Xingze still felt comforted in the distant time and space in a short period of time.
At the gate of the community, Chen Xingze passed by with a black car.
When Wei Kang came to Mi Sheng's house, Mi Sheng was still immersed in Chen Xingze's affairs. He went inside and found the old shirt. When he knew that the clothes couldn't be washed, he threw it away, but he finally picked it up for some reason, picked it up, cleaned it up, and hung it in the closet. Later, I slowly forgot, but Chen Xingze saw it unexpectedly.
Mi Sheng remembered that Chen Xingze should have seen this dress when he cooked the meal just now, so what kind of mentality did he come to the kitchen door with...
Thinking about it, Mi Sheng's face was a little hot.
Wei Kang had a tight schedule, and he came and went like the wind. He took his clothes and left. Before he left, he left a message for Mi Sheng, "Song Baiyang may be looking for you on the weekend, remember to spare time."
Mi Sheng's mind was not on them at all, so he responded, "Got it."
After Wei Kang left, Mi Sheng put on the old shirt and tried it on in front of the mirror as if it were brand new. The room was swept clean, the quilt was folded, and Mi Sheng fell into the fluffy pillows, turning his body gently like a comfortable cat.
Mi Sheng was drowsy and lay down until the sun went down, and was finally woken up by a phone call. Mi Sheng thought it was Wei Kang, but took the phone and found out that it was Aunt Wang. Mi Sheng was a little strange. He answered the phone, and after hearing two or three sentences, his expression changed suddenly, and he sat up from the bed in a jiffy.
The sudden movement caused insufficient blood supply to his brain, and the sky was spinning for a while. When he fell to the ground, he also fell, and his elbow slammed on the chair, but he could no longer feel the pain.
Mi Sheng panicked, grabbed a coat, put it on his body and ran out of the house. He wanted to stop a taxi, but it was rush hour, and there were few empty cars on the road. Mi Sheng looked at the intersection, his whole body trembled uncontrollably, and after waiting for two traffic lights in a row, he couldn't get a car, and he burst into tears.
When Chen Xingze returned to school, it was in the afternoon, and he caught up with the last two classes. After he finished, he was educated by Shi Kai.
"The teacher has already asked, and I almost went through a gang! Thanks to my quick response!"
"Good brother, don't say anything, I'll invite you to dinner tonight." Chen Xingze took Shi Kai's shoulder, Lu Xiaofei sighed, "Brother, hum, brother..." Shi Kai glared at Lu Xiaofei secretly, Chen Xingze didn't pay attention , also pulled Lu Xiaofei, "Let's go together, you can choose what to eat."
After class, they went back to the dormitory to rest for a while. When the sun went down, the three went out for dinner. Shi Kai chose a high-end grocery store not far from the Conservatory of Music.
"Pity my pocket." Chen Xingze cried exaggeratedly, "I thought it would be fine to eat two bowls of plain noodles."
"Where do you feed the chickens?" Shi Kai took the menu to order, and flipped through the pages in a hurry. "Whoops, fresh geoduck sashimi, and top-quality wagyu beef."
Chen Xingze knew that he was deliberately telling himself, and cooperated with him to apologize. At this moment the phone rang, he smiled and took out his phone, seeing that it was Mi Sheng's call.
"Hey?"
Mi Sheng should be outside. Chen Xingze heard a lot of noise from his mobile phone, the wind was howling, the car was whistling, and the small electric motorcycle was passing by.
"Mi Sheng? Hello?"
After he called a few times, Shi Kai and Lu Xiaofei looked over at the same time, and saw Chen Xingze frowning, and then his eyes widened suddenly when he heard something.
"Where are you now? Well, you wait for me, I'll go with you. Wait for me, must wait for me to hear!" Chen Xingze has always been gentle, and rarely speaks to others in such a tone.
Chen Xingze hung up the phone and Shi Kai put down the menu.
"What's wrong? What happened?"
Chen Xingze looked serious, took out a credit card from his wallet and put it on the table.
"I have something for you to eat first." After saying that, he left in a hurry.
