Flight of the Bumblebee

Just as He Qi came out of the stairs, the evening sun shone on his face, and the glare of the sun made him narrow his eyes uncomfortably.There was the cheerful knocking of pots, pans and pans in the house, followed by the crackling sound of oily smoke. From these sounds, it can be heard that Xing Yan is rarely in high spirits today.He was a little puzzled, walked into the room, put the briefcase on the chair, and looked at Xing Yan's back suspiciously.The person who kept turning the spatula in the small kitchen was unaware of the sight behind him, humming a ditty, and He Qi's eyes instantly became looking at him as if he had seen a ghost.

"What are you doing?" He frightened the busy people in the small kitchen as soon as he said it.Xing Yan jumped up with a cry of surprise, and the spatula was thrown out of his hand, almost missing it.He turned his head, saw He Qi, breathed a sigh of relief, and said with a smile, "You scared me."

He Qi said: "You just startled me. What are you doing? Are you bewitched? Why are you dancing around in the kitchen? Did something exciting happen today?"

Xing Yan turned around pretending to be mysterious, grabbed the spatula he had just dropped, turned the contents of the wok again, and answered him briskly: "No."

"No?" He Qi lengthened the ending, unbuttoned the neckline, continued to look at him suspiciously, and asked puzzledly: "Then why are you so crazy, you weren't like this before..."

Xing Yan's subordinates didn't stop. He turned his head and glanced at He Qi, and said, "Wait a minute, I'll tell you when I finish frying this dish. You go take a bath first."

He Qi looked at him wearing a small apron, in front of the stove, so happy that he wanted to twist Yangko and dance. He doubted it, but he obediently went to take a bath.

Today's weather is a bit hot. Inexplicably, there was a light rain in less than 5 minutes at noon, and it didn't even dissipate the heat.In the afternoon, it is even more exciting.He Qi ran behind the boss all afternoon, his shirt was soaked with sweat, and now he could vaguely see the color of his skin on his back.

When I came back, I met some children who were playing water fights with water guns on the road.When a chubby guy with a black African tan passed him with a water gun in his hand, He Qi realized that the primary school students had already had a month of summer vacation. "Time flies so fast," he thought silently while looking at the backs of those chattering away, "It seems that the first time I met Xing Yan on the bridge was just the beginning of summer vacation, when he was still wearing dirty clothes Winter clothes wandering by the river."

He took a comfortable cold shower, feeling refreshed all over.In summer, the days are infinitely elongated, and it is almost seven o'clock. The sunlight has not completely disappeared, and the small lamp on the top of their rooftop is not in a hurry to light up.He Qi sat on the chair that Xing Yan had arranged earlier in the morning, and the kitchen below also smelled very fragrant. When it was time for dinner, Niuniu's mother should have returned.Xing Yan also served some good-looking side dishes at this time, He Qi stared at the freshly served food, his eyes widened, and asked in disbelief: "One day after Shibai, did you open Golden Finger? How can cooking skills improve by leaps and bounds in a day?"

Xing Yan sat down opposite him, scratched his head embarrassingly, and said: "I learned one thing today. Delicious dishes must also look good. So I wait until they look best in the pot. Take it out, try it."

"Ah?" He Qi was confused by this answer, and he began to look at the food suspiciously again, as if judging whether there was any poison in it with the naked eye.However, Xing Yan urged him expectantly: "Taste, taste!"

He Qi reluctantly put the food into his mouth, reluctantly did not show a embarrassed expression, but after tasting the taste as Xing Yan asked, he smiled apologetically and said to him: "It seems...there is no difference... "

Xing Yan picked up the chopsticks and took a sip, but with a frustrated face, he sighed sadly and put down the chopsticks.It's not even cooked, let alone how it tastes.I'm afraid Xing Yan will never be able to cook a dish well, he really doesn't have that talent.

The two of them didn't speak for a while, the air froze for a moment, and an awkward atmosphere hovered above their heads.It was He Qi who broke the embarrassment first. He stood up, picked up the plate and said to Xing Yan who was still lost: "I'll take it in and return it to the pot, please wait a moment." After speaking, he took the plate and walked into the house .Xing Yan also stood up and followed him into the house.

He Qi restarted the pot on the fire, took out the things on the plate, and picked up the spatula to stir-fry. Every action seemed to be much more proficient than Xing Yan.Xing Yan leaned on the pillar behind him and looked at him from afar, like a big yellow dog watching his master.After He Qi cooked the food, he put it on a plate again, passed it back to Xing Yan, and told him to take it out.

When the two of them officially started dinner, the sun had completely set, and even the sunset glow was gone.The small lamp on the roof was turned on, and the dim yellow light shone on their table.Originally, the two of them were eating in silence, but He Qi suddenly asked, "What are you going to tell me?"

Xing Yan was obviously taken aback, "What do I want to tell you?" He remembered just after asking, and said to He Qi excitedly, "Guess what happened to me at home today?"

He Qi said with disgust: "I don't guess, if you want to say it, say it!"

Xing Yan replied: "Niuniu's mother said that I can go in to accompany Niuniu whenever I want in the future, even the key is hidden for me!"

He Qi put down his chopsticks, stared at him with wide eyes, "Are you serious? She really accepts you to babysit her?"

Xing Yan looked at him and nodded solemnly.

He Qi stroked his chin thoughtfully, and asked, "The reward..."

"Ah? Do you still want to be paid?" Xing Yan said in surprise this time.

"Just kidding..." He Qi smiled and waved his hands, and said to him: "She is a woman who takes care of the children, and she can't even afford a nursery school. If you still ask her for compensation, it would be too inhuman."

Xing Yan nodded, "I think so too."

"Did she really let you enter that house at any time? Don't look at you suspiciously? You know that a grown man may be a murderer, a pedophile, a pervert, a pervert, a thief, and a thief. She really let him go without any qualms." Are you in?"

"I looked worse before than now, so you let me in too."

He Qi didn't expect him to be able to make a joke, so he stopped him for a while before explaining: "At that time, there was no way, you were so pitiful, and you refused to go to the police station. I won't take you in again, it seems that you may die on the road at any time Side. Anyway, I saved your life before, how can I put it... there is a kind of responsibility... I can't just watch you die..."

Xing Yan kept laughing, the tenderness in his eyes could almost ooze water, but it was He Qi who was stared at by him and lowered his head, pretending to pick up the bowl and concentrate on eating.

Xing Yan leaned forward and whispered, "Thank you."

With his face buried in the bowl, He Qi still didn't dare to look up at him, and said with a smile, "Where is that."

This was the first time Xing Yan expressed his gratitude to him, and he rarely heard people express their gratitude to him.In particular, this is not the polite "thank you" in daily life. He Qi saved his life. The meanings contained in these two words are known to each other.Of course, He Qi would not call himself a "life-saver", so when he heard Xing Yan say "thank you" to him suddenly, he was so shy that he almost buried his head under the table. I haven't blushed for more than 20 years, and today is the first time.

Xing Yan held the bowl and watched him secretly giggling.He Qi was also laughing, turned his head away and silently tried his best to hold back the continuous smile.There are often children with such awkward personalities. The casual praise of the elders will make them elated. In order to maintain their image and feel embarrassed to show it on their faces, they have to pretend to be a "cool" expression, biting their upper lip and pouting. The smile in the eyes has long betrayed their mood.

He Qi is also like this.After he finished laughing silently, he turned around and faced Xing Yan with a face that could be described as "cold as ice".He coughed twice and cleared his throat, and then pretended to reprimand: "There's so much nonsense, the food is cold, eat quickly!"

Xing Yan smiled and agreed.

After dinner, He Qi lay on the bed and watched a movie. After Xing Yan cleaned up the table, chairs and chopsticks, he went in to take a shower.

He watched this 100-minute Thai movie in a cloud of fog and didn't know what to say.I opened Douban and searched for the title, and found that it was actually a Cannes award-winning film.In order to keep up with the pace of the world, He Qi forced himself to watch, but the more he watched, the more sleepy he became, and his eyelids were fighting behind him, and he could no longer understand who the gorilla that appeared from time to time was...

When Xing Yan came over with wet hair to wake him up, the movie was over, and the credits in Thai were scrolling across the screen, and he saw his sleepy face on the black screen.He Qi wiped his face vigorously with his palm, raised his head and asked Xing Yan, "What time is it?"

"09:30." Xing Yan glanced at the clock on the table and replied.

He Qi looked at him with red eyes, as if he hadn't woken up yet. After a while, he came back from his stupid state and asked him, "Why don't you dry your hair?"

Hearing what he said, Xing Yan scratched the dripping hair at the back of his head, and said with a smile: "Short hair, sometimes I forget."

He was wearing a white T-shirt, and the water dripped on it and quickly penetrated into the fibers of the clothes, and a large area was wet on his shoulders and back, as if he had been drenched in sweat.He Qi stared at him with his eyes open for a while, then yawned, and then completely turned into dead fish eyes.He is so sleepy now that he wants to sleep, and he feels that it is a waste of time to go to bed early, so he has to think about what can be used to pass the time, so he looks like he is in a daze.

He Qi looked at Xing Yan blankly for a while, then took the initiative to give up a place, patted the bed board as usual, and asked Xing Yan to sit up.

Xing Yan said softly: "Aren't you sleepy? Do you want to turn off the light and go to sleep?"

"Sleep ass." He Qi said sullenly: "Going to bed so early, I will definitely wake up at four o'clock tomorrow, believe it or not? I have a biological clock, and I can only sleep for seven hours at night."

Seeing his eloquent appearance, Xing Yan couldn't help laughing.He thought, He Qi probably thought that sleeping for seven hours was not enough.Xing Yan still remembers that he woke up one morning and said that he had insomnia at night, but in fact he just slept an hour less than usual, and he still vividly remembered the expression on his head that morning as if he was facing a big enemy.Xing Yan listened to his words and sat up. He Qi had already clicked on a new movie.Hong Kong martial arts movies are his favorite, and he can't wait to sit up straight as soon as the classic opening titles appear.Xing Yan could also see that he was getting emotional. Sure enough, funny and martial arts movies are the most suitable for stimulating the brain on a sleepy night, and he didn't feel drowsy at all.

After the one-and-a-half-hour movie ended, He Qi's eyes were too sleepy to open.Xing Yan gently pushed him a few times on the bed, and asked him if he wanted to brush his teeth before going back to sleep. He closed his eyes and waved his hand impatiently, meaning "Go away, don't disturb my sleep".Xing Yan understood, packed up the computer, carefully moved He Qi's body, let him sleep on his pillow, and tucked him in the quilt.

When turning off the lights, Xing Yan whispered good night.

It was like this for several nights, the two of them were lying together watching a movie, He Qi fell asleep while watching the movie, and then Xing Yan moved his body to cover him with a quilt, then turned off the light and went to bed by himself.They both seemed to be a little used to this way of life, but the next morning He Qi would hesitate when he fell asleep last night after waking up.

If he couldn't figure it out, he didn't want to, anyway, a new day had already begun.
