Chapter 61: showdown

Views:

Xu Xilin didn't have time to answer, his body was already warmed up by the familiar hug.

But at this moment, Dou Xun let go of him gently, smiled wryly at him, and said, "Don't worry."

Don't worry about what

Xu Xilin was stunned for a moment, and then reacted immediately, as if he had been slapped in the face - Dou Xun was implying that there were no passers-by around, and there were no malicious cameras... And he knew that this was outside, and he was willing to disobey his rebelliousness, for the sake of Someone obeys the rules of the world's vexatiousness, and takes care of his more vexatious cowardice.

After Dou Xun finished speaking, he took Xu Xilin's arm and put the other hand behind him, half supporting and half pushing him upstairs: "Don't drink the wind downstairs, what floor is your house on?"

Xu Xilin pressed down the floor elevator silently, his face even uglier than when he was in the cemetery.

Dou Xun took him all the way to the door of his house, he reached out to block the elevator door, and said to Xu Xilin in a calm tone, "If it's not convenient for you to have visitors at your house, I can take you here—you really don't need to go to the hospital?"

Xu Xilin became more and more uncomfortable. The pain spread all the way from his stomach to his back. There seemed to be a transverse tendon in his back.

Dou Xun is learning to be polite, learning to keep a distance from him, and learning to respect his scruples.

But Xu Xilin didn't feel relieved, only felt ironic.

He could even hear Dou Xun's calm tone of resentment after a long absence, subtle, not serious, but everywhere. It was like a blunt and soft knife, constantly scraping his bones, making the torment fine and long, and it was not as pleasant as the slamming and arguing as before.

Xu Xilin could no longer be interested in nonsense and opened the door, and since Dou Xun said that, he had no choice but to send an invitation: "No, it's just a little messy, please come in."

The living room is the territory of the grey parrot. His Royal Highness Bird had just inspected his territory, and when he heard the sound, he immediately fluttered his wings and flew out. Unexpectedly, he saw Dou Xun, who was a little unhappy that his territory was invaded by alien species, raised one leg slightly, Not very friendly with a few wings.

Then, it probably remembered Xu Xilin's warning, and it reluctantly retracted its feet and landed on the high shelf, staring vigilantly at the uninvited guests at home.

This is Dou Xun's first visit to Xu Xilin's "new home".

The house is a small three-bedroom house, and the lighting is good. When you enter the house, you can see that the windows are bright and clean. You can see that the part-time workers have just cleaned it, and it is almost spotless.

Of the three rooms surrounding the living room, two of them had their doors locked, and he didn't know that he had nothing to close at home alone.

The only bedroom with the door open was as neat and tidy as a model room. It was not very popular, and it looked like no one had lived in it for a long time.

On the contrary, there was a single bed of pillows and quilts spread on the sofa in the living room, allowing Dou Xun to determine the area where the owner usually moves, which is better than living in a hotel.

Dou Xun frowned.

Xu Xilin took a look at himself, and felt that it was inappropriate for Dou Xun to see this side, and explained unconvincingly: "I don't usually come here, and I didn't clean up today..."

He said, trying to move the messy sofa out of a place for people to sit, but Dou Xun stopped him.

Dou Xun went to the bedroom with the door open and moved a chair out.

Xu Xilin felt guilty and nervous for a moment, and almost called to stop him, and then saw that Dou Xun just moved a chair from the door and had no interest in the other two locked rooms, so he almost swallowed his own words.

Dou Xun put the chair in the middle of the living room and sat in front of Xu Xilin. The two were speechless for a moment. Dou Xun asked, "What's wrong with the stomach? How long have you had stomach problems? Do you often do it?"

Xu Xilin: "Maybe it's chronic gastritis? I don't do it very much. I just didn't eat breakfast today."

Dou Xun took a breath and lowered his voice: "Maybe?"

Xu Xilin: "...It may also have a little ulcer."

He didn't have time to go to the hospital for these small problems, and he didn't take it seriously. Anyway, everyone has a little problem these days. The middle-aged and elderly men who hang out with him all day long, all of them are full of health scriptures. The content has gradually shifted from eating and drinking to playing football and fitness, and some people pretend to run a marathon, but so what

Still the gout of the gout, the three highs of the three highs.

This stuff is all about "life and death, wealth and honor".

Dou Xun asked patiently, "What do you do when you are uncomfortable? What medicine do you usually take?"

Xu Xilin: "Check the symptoms online and prepare some regular medicines."

Dou Xun: "..."

Really a scientific and healthy death model.

Dou Xun had a deeper understanding of how thin the good skin on the surface of the rotten apple was. Seeing his careless appearance, he was angry, just as angry as Xu Xilin when he found out that he was working as a doctor.

A small blue vein popped out of his forehead, and he hurriedly lowered his head and pinched the center of his eyebrows a few times, trying to keep his pretence as reasonable as possible, and sighed, "Which cup do you usually use?"

Xu Xilin glanced at the small coffee table beside the sofa.

I saw a laptop, two folders, a book on financial management, and half a piece of dry bread on the teacup... It's really "quality and quantity".

Dou Xun picked up his teacup and took a look, and found that the tea inside was not fresh, with the dark brown color unique to overnight tea, and the tea leaves that were not good or bad were like a pile of floating corpses in his cup.

Dou Xun gritted his teeth and counted his breaths, stood up and poured out the old tea, washed the quilt, and wanted to get him a cup of hot water. As soon as the water was connected to the bottom of the cup, Dou Xun felt that something was wrong. Looking at it again, the hot water of the water dispenser was not turned on at all!

He secretly breathed a sigh of relief, feeling that he was about to "could not hold back the fire".

Dou Xun didn't ask where Xu Xilin's medicine was, and directly opened the small drawer under the TV cabinet - the regular medicines of Xu's family were always there, but Xu Xilin was too lazy, and the new TV cabinet was exactly the same as the original one.

As expected, there was a medicine box in the drawer, two boxes of medicines were open, one box was a painkiller that was obviously eaten more, and another box of ordinary stomach medicine, which was ash in the corner.

Dou Xun pulled away the painkiller with a gloomy face, poured two stomach medicines on a tissue, and waited for the hot water while flipping through the instructions on the tablets, only to find that fortunately he took a second look, the medicines had expired for a year.

Dou Xun: "..."

This thing is like this, and there is still a face outside that pretends to love life and love life!

"Did you know that the medicine has expired?" Dou Xun shook the medicine box in front of Xu Xilin, then threw it into the trash can and sat down opposite Xu Xilin. Xu Xilin leaned on his simple "bed" and put the He curled up into a shrimp.

Dou Xun glanced at him, then quickly turned his eyes away, thinking angrily, "I really can't fucking hold it anymore."

I followed your wishes and left, thinking you would be free from now on without fear of gossip—

I came back to look for you countless times, but I couldn't find it, and I almost gave up, but after thinking about it, maybe you could live better without me, so I accepted it with resentment and unwillingness, and desperately wanted to live a personal life. Thinking that if one day, when I meet you again, you won't be glad that you didn't want me many years ago.

Now it seems that it is a waste of emotion at all!

"If you die suddenly one day, no one will collect your corpse." Dou Xun finally couldn't help shaking off his "mature and calm" plated with a layer of foreign gold, and sharply exuded a familiar taste.

At this time, the boiling water light of the water dispenser turned on, Dou Xun turned around and poured a cup of hot water, and asked angrily, "Where is the nearest pharmacy?"

Xu Xilin stumbled: "Uh..."

"Forget it." Dou Xun angrily took out his phone, turned on his GPS, searched the neighborhood, then ignored him and went down to find it himself.

Xu Xilin sat for a while, raised an arm to cover his face, and outside Dou Xun slammed the door with a bang.

The gray parrot was so frightened by Dr. Dou's incompetent behavior of throwing pots and bowls that it flew to the chandelier, and called out crisply, "Oh, mother!"

In the past, when it said this, Xu Xilin would laugh, but today it made a grandstanding call several times, but Xu Xilin did not respond.

The parrot flew to the sofa, looked at him with its neck crooked, thought about it, and put two pistachios in his hand to please him. Seeing that he was still ignoring people, it diligently opened the pistachios for Xu's father. I ate it halfway through and accidentally ate it by myself.

It was stunned for a moment, as if it didn't expect it to be so greedy and a little guilty, it flew to the shelf one meter away, and self-reflected.

Dou Xun flew all the way to the pharmacy and bought two boxes of the medicine Xu Xilin had taken before. The pharmacy was about one bus stop away from Xu Xilin's house. Dou Xun even went upstairs and downstairs to check the route. In the twelfth lunar month, I ran out of sweat.

When they got downstairs, Dou Xuncai suddenly remembered that Xu Xilin had diagnosed this thing with Baidu himself, and he didn't know whether it was right or not. He even bought it back, which is ridiculous.

But other than that, he is not qualified to carry that ridiculous person into the hospital, because he is not someone from Xu Xilin, and he is not qualified to control him.

It was clearly someone who was once held in his arms, but now he is pretentious in front of him.

Dou Xun returned to Xu Xilin's living room with a cold face in sweat and threw the medicine on the table.

Xu Xilin: "Excuse me, I'm sorry."

"'Trouble' me." Dou Xun gave him a sarcastic look and said, "My people, spoil yourself like this, and tell me 'trouble'."

Dou Xun wiped his face, threw the crumbling "gentle" mask to the side, sat on the chair with Erlang's legs crossed, glanced around at Xu Xilin's living room, and said indifferently, "You're so sorry, save it."

Out of sight, he turned his head and stared at the parrot for a while. When Xu Xilin finished taking the medicine, he stretched out his hand and said to Xu Xilin, "Lie down first, I have something to tell you."

When Dou Xun was polite, he was a good guest, which would make him unhappy, but Xu Xilin had the illusion that he had found the old days.

It doesn't matter in front of an "old friend", but it is inconvenient to be too presumptuous in front of a guest. Xu Xilin hesitated for a while, and Dou Xun acted directly as if he was urging him to take a bath when he was a child.

As a sick patient, Xu Xilin was unable to resist and was decisively suppressed.

The grey parrot thought that Dr. Dou was bullying people, opened his mouth and screamed, flapping his wings and making threatening aggressive movements.

Dou Xun turned his head: "Shut up!"

Grey parrot: "… "

The parrot was taken care of by the two of them when it was young. I don't know how it grew. I didn't learn much from them. I followed Dou Xun in the aspect of "being arrogant and arrogant", and in the aspect of "counseling" But following Xu Xilin, he found that the enemy seemed to be a bit formidable.

When Dou Xun saw this familiar virtue, he was amused, and his mood suddenly became less irritable.

He sighed, stretched out his legs and sat beside Xu Xilin, wanting to reach out to smooth his slightly sweaty hair. He stretched out his fingers, not knowing where it would fit, so he hung in the air without embarrassment or embarrassment.

"When you left me, I thought you were going to pursue a 'normal' life." Dou Xun leaned back and said softly, "As far as I know, there seem to be many girls who have always liked you, why, you haven't. Pick one and live a normal life? Are they not pretty? Or are they all jerk like me?"

Xu Xilin blurted out, "Bean stuffing..."

He forgot the last word for a while, and when the old name was called, both of them were stunned in a trance.

After a while, Dou Xun's fingers hanging in the air fell in response, and fell into Xu Xilin's hair sprinkled on the pillow: "Huh?"

Xu Xilin: "...Don't provoke me with this."

Dou Xun finally touched the person who was thinking about it all the time. He was addicted. He touched Xu Xilin's hair and earlobes back and forth. He felt that the hair felt different, the face was different, and everything became unfamiliar, which stimulated him. The crazy possessiveness that had been dormant for many years was instantly fearful and angry.

Dou Xun: "What do you say you want?"

Xu Xilin's throat moved slightly.

Dou Xun: "You are arguing with me, let me wait, and say that when you become strong one day, you don't need to cover up - so are you strong now?"

Xu Xilin: "...not counting."

He is just one of thousands of small private business owners. He has been in business for many years and has only succeeded once. He has only just gotten better in the past two years, and he has not accumulated much. Perhaps compared with his peers, he is barely able to. It can be regarded as excellent, but not to mention those who can change the rules of society, even compared with Xu Jin and Dou Junliang, who still maintains the "complete form of a nouveau riche", his little family background can't be called what business.

But just getting here, he already felt that it was difficult.

Dou Xun lowered his eyes, his eyes swept across the bridge of Xu Xilin's nose, and asked, "Then how dare you openly hold my hand now?"

Xu Xilin was speechless.

Dou Xun poked him sharply: "It's because no one can control you now, right? You have money to run around the world, and your elders are gone. Even if your business fails, you can live by renting a house—and because of your age. No matter how old or young, others have to treat you as a serious adult, you start to have the final say, you can’t get married locally, you won’t have a queen, you can play, mess around… Others still think they can forgive you, are you not under pressure?”

Dou Xun reached out and touched his forehead, Xu Xilin closed his eyes, and heard Dou Xun say coldly, "I knew it, otherwise you wouldn't dare to surround me every day, and the old love will be unforgettable."

Dou Xun knew that Xu Xilin had feelings for him, but he couldn't believe the depth of his feelings, so he had to endlessly ask, test, prove, and care about. Now, he finally blurted out this distrust, There is a feeling of piercing the sore with a knife.

Xu Xilin was silent for a while, then explained weakly: "I don't."

Dou Xun waited patiently for him to speak.

Xu Xilin searched his stomach, and found sadly that he had nothing to say. He wanted to open the locked door and let Dou Xun see it himself, but he felt boring - because it looked like a show that had been arranged for a long time and was too hard... The nature of the feeling is similar to kneeling downstairs with nine hundred and ninety-nine flowers.

At this time, the doorbell rang.

Dou Xun let him go: "Lie down, I'll open the door for you."

Xu Xilin grabbed Dou Xun's hand, pulled him down suddenly, and kissed him regardless.

Dou Xun was dragged down by him, he was stunned at first, and then quickly turned back to the guest. Like an enraged beast, he pressed Xu Xilin on the narrow sofa, as if holding down the coveted prey and biting back.

Taking away his air, suppressing his struggle, his fingers even subconsciously moved to Xu Xilin's throat—

The annoying doorbell turned into a vigorous knock on the door, and the next moment, Xu Xilin's mobile phone thrown on the small table also screamed as if to join in the fun.
