Behind Dou Xun was a large piece of the splendid sunset. He looked at the familiar car downstairs, and at the person lying on the roof of the car wearing a pair of sunglasses and smiling at him, and blurted out, "You're not..."
Can you get off work at least after 9pm
The latter half of the sentence was swallowed by Dou Xun's whole body's reason, otherwise he really couldn't explain how he knew what time people got off work. He dragged a long shadow and poked it a little stiffly.
"Not what?" Xu Xilin listened to half of his words, glanced at Dou Xun strangely, and opened the trunk of his car.
"...Isn't it a matter of time?" Dou Xun stared at him, trying to pull off the obstructing sunglasses on his face, pretending to hurt him calmly, "Why are you here so early, you don't have to go to court today?"
"Today, the black-faced big wild donkey in Liao Kingdom returned the illegally occupied land, and the whole country celebrates. Let's stop for a day." Xu Xilin waved at him, "Come on, Lao Cheng brought you a pot of orchids and let me bring it to you."
The old-fashioned kebab shop collapsed, but he has been taking the old classmate who paid the principal to the "grandfather" kebab shop as a shareholder. Although the business is sluggish and the dividends are gone, he can spend all the year round with him. Take whatever you want. Xu Xilin, the major shareholder back then, was never polite to him. He would take it from him when he needed to send flowers to customers during the New Year and festivals. However, the second shareholder had never touched a leaf, so he could never find an opportunity to show filial piety.
In addition to the old flowers, Xu Xilin, the son of the emperor who lost his power and humiliated the country, also brought a bunch of things like the offerings - everything for food and drink... It even includes two sofa cushions - I forgot when I moved for Dou Xun last time. In order to buy a cushion, he thought about it for a month.
The two moved the things back to Dou Xun's rented house with great difficulty, and the small entrance for changing shoes could not fit.
"Where are the flowers?" Xu Xilin asked, "The bedroom?"
Dou Xun was shocked. In fact, there was nothing shameful in his bedroom, just a pile of books. After Dou Xun's "second brother" graduated from the dormitory, he rebelled against the revolution. Professional, now struggling to stay in school. When Dou Xun had nothing to do on the weekends, he went to eat at someone's house, and glanced at Xu Xilin who was "reading" there from a distance.
As a result, Dou Xun found that Xu Xilin probably didn't know what "being alone" meant in his life!
When I was a child, I read, and this guy would have a lot of friends around him. All day long, he knew that he was thinking about fooling around, and his grades were messed up.
When he grows up and spends all his blood and studies, he still has to be with a large group of inexplicable people around him. He just replaced the daily activities of "playing basketball" with "dining together" and "changing business cards".
Xu Xilin is a social man who looks like a dog, and Dou Xun is not good at interfering. Every time he just glances at a distance and leaves, and then inquires about the recommended reading list of their "money burning class" and buys it back to read - although he himself I don't know what's the use of looking at it.
This behavior is so stupid.
Dou Xun didn't even think about it: "Put it on the balcony."
Xu Xilin thought for a while: "Old Cheng said that this flower seems to like yin."
"I know," Dou Xun fooled him without changing his face, "just put it on the balcony. Shade-loving plants also need photosynthesis. These things are usually grown in the valleys, and the sun in the morning and evening in spring and autumn is just right."
Xu Xilin felt that this theory didn't seem right, but he was tortured by all kinds of pseudoscience spread by the circle of friends every day. He often knew about a thing for three days, and was refuted in two days. He no longer dared to believe his common sense, and it was not reliable. The middle school biology had already packed it and returned it to Dou Xun, and he carried the flowers to the balcony according to his words.
As soon as he turned around, Dou Xun heaved a sigh of relief immediately, and then, as if he had just learned to walk in waves, he flashed to the door of the bedroom without knowing it, and closed the door on tiptoe.
When Xu Xilin put the flowers out, Dou Xun had come back to pack his things as if nothing had happened.
"Why did your brother stay here for so long?" Dou Xun asked casually, "What happened to you?"
"There's no need for him to save the scene in an accident." Xu Xilin said with a bit of carelessness and arrogance, "It's almost as if he asked me to settle the accident over there - he was a little worried about me and stayed for a few more days."
Dou Xun was stunned for a moment, and instantly made up a lot of reasons for Song Lianyuan's "worry", and his thoughts suddenly went off: "So did you go to the hospital later? How are the test results?"
"...Oh, it's not because of that little fault." Xu Xilin lowered his head to open a cardboard box, and the paper cutter pulled out long scratches on the sealing tape, "I just went out of the closet with him."
The bottom plate of a box of fruit in Dou Xun's hand leaked, and the round oranges rolled on the ground.
Xu Xilin said with a "tsk", "You have to hold the bottom of this kind of paper box when you take it, why is it clumsy?"
He said that he was going to squat down to pick it up, but Dou Xun grabbed his arm.
Dou Xun is not familiar with Song Lianyuan.
Back then, the two of them were still hairy children immersed in the trivial details of adolescence. Song Lianyuan had been in the business for many years and started to work as a manager in Yuebanwan. Song Lianyuan would not go to Xu Xilin to play unless it was a festival or a big family event. The two brothers only really got together after Grandma Xu passed away.
When Dou Xun heard the existence of "Song Lianyun" from Lao Cheng and others, he felt really uncomfortable for a while, until he heard Xu Xilin ridicule Song Heifian all day long as a "married old man", he reluctantly accepted Song Lianyuan The identity of "eldest brother is like a father" is a little less like a stick in the throat.
Dou Xun: "You..."
"He knew something before, yes..." Xu Xilin took a deep breath, and for the first time hesitantly brought up the old things he didn't want to touch. "He heard it when we were quarreling outside the moonlight."
Get up, and things will be smoother later.
"He has never been able to accept it. Over the years, he thought that I had broken with you and walked back to what he called the 'right way', but..." Xu Xilin looked at Dou Xun's expression, couldn't hold back, and smiled, "That's you? What expression? My eldest brother won't come to you with a check to tell you to 'leave his brother' - if he's really that stupid, just go ahead and get back the red envelope I gave him when he got married."
Dusk came quickly, and the dazzling light just now had dimmed. Xu Xilin took off the unsightly sunglasses, pinned them on his neckline at will, and looked at Dou Xun with open eyes.
Dou Xun's heart filled with all kinds of feelings, and he said almost incoherently, "He's not... how can you..."
The veterans, after all, are just classmates. The classmates get along well with each other, and they are the best friends of childhood sweethearts.
But Song Lianyuan was Xu Xilin's most important partner. Both of them had their net worth under one company's equity. If they parted ways, they would all be hurt... Besides, Song Lianyuan just put something in the door that day, and Dou Xun could see him. He must be very close to Xu Xilin, close enough to replace all of Xu Xilin's lost and absent relatives.
Xu Xilin was so slippery that he didn't let go, but up to now, his glib tongue couldn't utter a single sentence, "I'm serious, this time you believe me", so he had to joke in the bright orange on the ground and said, "I Get out of the closet with him."
Xu Xilin gradually stopped smiling, looked at Dou Xun calmly, pulled his arm out of his hand gently, then pressed Dou Xun's chest rudely and pushed him aside: "If you don't work, hide. Come on, don't get in the way here."
Dou Xun watched dumbfoundedly as he picked up the oranges that had been rolled everywhere, and skillfully folded the box with the leaking bottom again. He picked a round and large one and carried it to the kitchen. Hand it over: "Let's eat."
Dou Xun seemed to have his hair smoothed from the beginning to the end, and followed him inside and out. However, when he followed, he found that the other party didn't intend to do anything, and he was inexplicably stuffed into his mouth to eat. He was depressed. He took the plate of oranges and threw them aside, then hugged Xu Xilin from behind.
It was warm and cold, Xu Xilin changed his sweater early. Under the thin coat was only a thin shirt as thin as garlic skin. With a light touch, he could reach his thin chest. This time, there was no thick sweater. And the hard back was not Dou Xun's own illusion. He clearly felt Xu Xilin's heartbeat, trying to hold the beating in his hand, and his fingers shrank subconsciously.
He was like a child who made a mistake and didn't dare to enter the door. He looked at Xu Xilin eagerly, but hesitantly didn't dare to move.
For a long time, Dou Xuncai explained unsteadily: "I didn't mean that that day, I actually... Actually..."
He didn't have any words, lowered his head and buried his face between Xu Xilin's neck for a while, and then finally remembered the lines.
Dou Xun said, "...I'm not forcing you."
He was bitten by a snake once, and he was afraid of ropes for ten years.
Xu Xilin held his hand gently and turned around: "Bean paste, look at this."
Dou Xun quickly raised his eyes and looked at him, his thick eyelashes quickly pressed his eyes down again, seemingly at a loss.
He didn't look straight at people since he was a child, and he didn't get beaten because of this. He probably relied on the good looks given by Zhu Xiaocheng. When he drooped his eyelids, even if he looked reckless, he was covered by the beautiful silence. Can't bear to blame anything.
Xu Xilin leaned against the balcony covered with the afterglow and kissed him gently. It didn't mean anything, it was a one-touch kiss.
Dou Xun was motionless, suddenly wanted to cry, full of mixed feelings of grievances.
It's the kind of pampered child who does something wrong and begs for forgiveness as usual, but doesn't get the kind of grievances when you get it.
Xu Xilin was a little nervous at first, but when he was facing Dou Xun, he suddenly relaxed, because he found that after peeling off the exquisite packaging, this man's mature body was still filled with the unreasonable club from their family. This club used to be Crossing the ocean, swimming to a far, far away place, almost annihilated in the boundless continent and the stormy ocean.
Thinking of this, Xu Xilin felt a pain in his heart.
It's strange to say that in the years when Dou Xun was away, he didn't seem to notice anything.
But from the moment Dou Xun miraculously opened his car door, the gears in his body that had been stagnant for many years seemed to have worn away the long-lasting rust, turning the past joys, sorrows, sorrows and partings one by one.
Instead, it was more painful.
Xu Xilin finally opened his mouth and asked the words in his heart.
"Will you do it again?" he said. "I brought you a box of iced black tea."
It turned out that in that year, Zhu Xiaocheng and Dou Junliang died in the war of defeat, and together they strangled their lingering marriage. The little boy had just found a place to live in the vast world, and stubbornly curled himself into a ball. Ken moved forward.
He showed his claws to a circle of teachers and parents, and the second-grade cancer broke out. He thought that the college entrance examination was a fart, and the future was not. ” entertainment to prove that they are approaching adulthood… Although it was later learned that adults don’t like those shitty entertainment, they still have to support their families, make milk powder money for their children, and have to work hard to climb up—occasionally take a break from socializing , I would rather have my brain lingering with my sofa in an empty space.
And then... Then he got a kiss that smelled of iced black tea, under the ill will of his little friend.
Xu Xilin has a knack for forgetting when he hits his paws. If it's not a very important thing or a very important person, he doesn't take it to heart and format his hard drive from time to time. The advantage of this kind of person is that he always talks about things when quarreling, so he doesn't have to worry that he will be "minor stubborn". Whatever happened, looking at his confused face, "it seems like there is such a thing", it is inevitable to think that he is a little ruthless.
Come to think of it, when they went to Yuebanwan, it was the second or third year of high school, why did they go, which private room, who was making trouble at the banquet, and who followed suit... Xu Xilin probably had no memory of it, maybe now let him find Yueban now It is difficult for him to bend the old site.
Dou Xun always thought that Xu Xilin regarded that incident as a game to say goodbye to Wu Tao.
He did not expect that Xu Xilin actually had that cup of iced black tea in his heart.
Dou Xun's evasive gaze was flattened by his slap, and he threw himself up, wrapping himself firmly around Xu Xilin: "Why bring me iced black tea? Don't you want to leave at night?"
There was almost a hint of provocation in this sentence that was not in line with Dou Xun's personal style. It should have sparked everywhere, but Xu Xilin leaned against the balcony window sill in frustration: "I have to go, I have a business trip tomorrow, The luggage is still at home."
Song Hei-mian was so happy that he had an afterthought.
Dou Xun is like a human-shaped tail. He followed him wherever he went. He still made no sound when he walked, and appeared behind others without knowing it. Xu Xilin turned around several times in the kitchen and almost scalded him. Dou Xun blasted out.
The unlucky Phalaenopsis enjoyed the sunset all afternoon, and the petals were wilted. Dou Xun had to spray it with some water. He was bored and wanted to find something to do at home, but he couldn't calm down and always looked up. When I saw Xu Xilin, I felt that it was not very real.
Xu Xilin asked as if he had long eyes behind his back, "What's wrong?"
Dou Xun said nothing.
Then after a while, he suddenly spoke a lot like a repeater, without even a single punctuation mark: "I have a scholarship there, but renting a house and daily expenses are still too expensive. At the beginning, The roommates are secretly beating the kind of black workers who are caught and will be sent back. I wanted to join them, but a teacher didn't let me go. He is very similar to Mr. Huang from our class... Forget it, you don't remember who Mr. Huang is. - He allowed me to work for him, and gradually let me join his laboratory and worked under him for a few years - I moved twice in those years, the first time was because the rent was too expensive, the second time was Because the environment is too chaotic... I have made some friends, and some of them still want to be more than friends... "
Xu Xilin made a move.
But before he turned around to ask questions, Dou Xun continued without hesitation: "But I didn't come out of your shadow for the first year or two, and then I was looking for you after saving money and time to go back to China to find you. Until the beginning of this year. Coming back... I plan to stay and work for a long time. I'm currently renting a house without a fixed place. I want to buy a car. After an estimate, the market value of the house over there is about 20 to 30 million yuan. Considering the expected market rise, I don’t think I need to set a second goal in my life, and I may explain it here.”
Dou Xun mocked himself, and then quickly recalled, feeling that there was no omission: "The report is over."
After he finished speaking, he didn't rush, just looked at Xu Xilin and expressed "it's your turn" with body language.
Xu Xilin didn't know for a while whether to brag about the bullshit or pretend to be pitiful. He hesitated for a moment and was troubled for a while, but just said: "After so many years, it's not what it used to be when I bought it. Yes."
Dou Xun's eyes dimmed suddenly.
Xu Xilin: "When will you come home with me?"
