years and years

When You Yezhi opened the door, what he saw was He Jianqi who was still standing there.

As soon as he raised his head, he met You Yezhi's eyes, and they were quiet for a few seconds. He Jianqi smiled slightly and looked at him: "Come and eat."

You Yezhi stood there without moving.

"...it's a bit cold, I'll go warm it up."

A few minutes later, there was a light "ding" sound, and the food was ready.He Jianqi brought them all over, and looked up at You Yezhi who was not far away: "Ye Zhi, eat some, I made it specially."

You Yezhi walked over, took the soup that He Jianqi handed over, and sipped it under his gaze.It was so quiet that even his swallowing could be heard quietly.

The dishes were delicious, the soup was mellow, You Yezhi didn't have much appetite, after eating for a while, he said in a low voice, "Do you have to do this?"

He Jianqi looked at the person in front of him, concealed his unnaturalness, and said with a smile: "I won't give up because of this, no matter whether it's true or not."

You Yezhi lowered his eyes: "I won't respond to you."

"Ye Zhi——" He Jianqi stared at him firmly, then said slowly, "It doesn't matter, I just want to do my best to help you. Although you always say that you can't help..."

You Yezhi didn't speak, his expression was as indifferent as ever, so indifferent that it made people feel that this matter had nothing to do with him: "There's no need to do this, He Jianqi. Just treat me as an ordinary subordinate, don't treat me so well, and don't treat me so well." Get too close to me."

A strangeness flashed in He Jianqi's eyes, he let go of his tightly clenched fingers, and shook his head: "If you don't tell me, I won't ask. I'll say the same thing, don't push me away."

"It's not worth it." You Yezhi suddenly looked up at him, and the two of them stalemate in a quiet and depressing atmosphere: "Instead of doing these useless things, you might as well find a normal one you like, why waste it on me?" time?"

"Is this a waste of time?" He Jianqi stared at his pupils and said, "I don't think so."

You Yezhi didn't speak, or he didn't intend to speak at all.

He Jianqi stood up and cleaned up the dishes: "Ye Zhi, it's okay if you don't accept me, but I beg you not to push me away all the time."

He went to the kitchen, You Yezhi glanced at his back, and spent a long time in silence.

The sound of water stopped, He Jianqi packed up the thermos bucket and put it on the table, and walked towards him.

You Yezhi looked away from the window, saw him from the corner of the eye, and said lightly, "I don't need it."

He Jianqi stopped not far away and looked at him with piercing eyes.

"So stop it."

His eyes were looking out of the window, and his voice was very low. It would not be an exaggeration to say that he was talking to himself if there was no one else in the living room.

Since it won't last long, don't start, at least you can leave some good things.

Rather than saying that he was telling He Jianqi, it would be better to say that he was reminding himself.

Shuci looked at the dishes on this table, a little bit want to cry, but also a little bit unable to put down the chopsticks.Elder Mu was eating peanuts opposite him, crunching them, and looked up at him.

"Grandpa." Shuci said sadly: "We've been eating leftovers for several days in a row, and this was made on New Year's Eve. Can't we make some fresh dishes?"

Mr. Mu raised his eyes and looked at him: "Where is this not fresh?" He tapped the plate with his chopsticks and said, "Try this chicken, the more it is left, the more delicious it is. Don't you like spicy food the most?"

"..."

Shuci picked up the rice in the bowl, ate some dishes casually, and after Mr. Mu finished eating, he went out for a walk to wash the dishes and put them away.He was not full, so he could only find some snacks to fill his stomach.

He rummaged through his bag and found a ticket.

The conversation between him and You Yezhi on the phone was still displayed the day before, and Shu Ci read the chat records for a while lying in bed, and then cut it out to play games for a while.

Early the next morning, Shuci had packed up and was about to go out.

Elder Mu looked at him for a long time, and was stunned: "Is this still you? Woke up so early, sleepwalking?"

Shuci put on his shoes and put on his coat, turned around and said, "Have you ever seen such a handsome sleepwalker?"

After he finished speaking, he walked towards the gate, and Mr. Mu called him behind him: "Where are you going!"

"Buying vegetables, please come back and do it!"

Where does he know how to buy vegetables, he only picks fresh ones. He didn't go to the vegetable market in the morning and went directly to the supermarket. He picked some meat and vegetables, and the final checkout was tens of dollars more expensive than the vegetable market.

Shu Ci took a taxi back home and put a bag full of things on the table. Mr. Mu walked over to look at it slowly, thinking that he was greedy and didn't want to eat leftovers.

"Master." Shu Ci was so diligent, he took out the dishes and ribs to wash, and said, "Let's make a few more dishes today."

Elder Mu agreed happily: "Okay, anyway, today's meal can last for several days."

Shuci laughed: "That should be impossible."

Potato roasted pork ribs, foie gras roasted small potatoes, fish floss stewed seafood in tomato sauce, sweet and sour konjac shrimp, and a milky white crucian carp soup for takeaway.

This is simply too rich, for their grandpa and grandson.

Elder Mu didn't ask, just sat there quietly, he already knew what Shu Ci said just now.Before he started eating, he had already filled most of the dishes and put them all in an insulated box. After finishing all this with vigor and motivation, he carefully put the insulated box aside.

"Well, I said there won't be a few days left, the leftover is enough for two meals for the two of us."

Mu Lao narrowed his eyes and looked at him: "Who did you pretend to be so nice to give it to? Is this your old friend?"

Shu Ci widened his eyes and retorted: "What are you talking about!"

In the end, he was still guilty, Shuci bowed his head to eat the vegetables, knowing that he couldn't hide, and said, "I'll go out in the afternoon, and I won't be back in the evening."

Elder Mu watched him silent for a moment, suspicious in his eyes, and said, "Your friend lives quite far away? Are you still staying at night?"

"Grandpa—" Shuci lost the battle in his sarcasm, and said frankly: "I'll go back, City A."

Elder Mu let out a silent "Oh", not surprised at all.

"It turns out that the friend is in City A."

"Pfft—" Shuci choked on a mouthful of soup.

After dinner, Shuci went back to the house to pack his things. He only carried a bag. He wandered back and forth, but when he couldn't find it, he shouted, "Grandpa, where are the couplets I asked you to write for me?"

Mr. Mu wiped his hands: "It's on the sofa in the living room, find it yourself!"

I found it. I was afraid of bending the book, so I carefully put it flat in the bag. I looked at the time and it was time to leave. I put the bag on my back and held the thermos in my hand: "I'm leaving, and I'll be back at noon tomorrow."

Elder Mu didn't bother to look at him, he waved his hand and said, "Understood, take it quickly."

Shuci turned back: "?"

This year's winter is too cold, so cold that Shuci shivered instantly when a gust of wind blew over.He got on the high-speed train, hugged the insulation box in his arms, and reached out to take out his mobile phone.

Ci: What are you doing?

The curtains in the room were drawn tightly, and the room was a little dark. There was a person lying curled up on the bed under the quilt. After hearing the phone ringing, he reached out and groped beside the pillow for a long time.

You Yezhong had a casual meal at noon, and was sleepy, so he took a short rest in the afternoon.

.:sleep

Shuci grinned and typed: Why are you so sleepy lately?

"Huh—" It was too stuffy under the quilt, You Yezhi poked his head out, his hair was still messed up, and there was only a small light from his mobile phone in the whole room.

Shuci knew You Yezhi well, and it was really impossible for him to chat with him.He couldn't wait for a reply, so he had to find the topic again.

Ci: Do you still go out in the afternoon?

.:stay home

Ci: Oh!It's too cold outside, don't run around, so as not to get a fever again.

.: ... I'm not that delicate

Ci: What should I do, you are so delicate in my heart, you should take good care of it.

Not going back again, Shuci bent his lips and decided to let You Yezhi go.

Ci: All right, you can sleep again.

.:Um

It was already past seven o'clock in the evening when we arrived in City A, and it was already eight o'clock rounded up.Shuci was blown cold by the cold wind, and he breathed in his hand and walked quickly to the house.

Walking downstairs of his own house, Shuci looked up, but he couldn't see anything except his room was dark.

He took the key and opened the door, the living room was pitch black, only the door of You Yezhi's room was ajar, and no sound could be heard quietly.Shuci changed his shoes and walked slowly to the door of You Yezhi's room.

He gently pushed away, but no one was there.

Shuci looked at the bathroom almost subconsciously, and sure enough, the warm light was exposed from under the door.He must be in the bathroom or in the shower, Shuci thought for a while, took off his coat, and sat on You Yezhi's bed.

After waiting for a while, no one came out, and looking around boredly, I found that the undrinked coconut milk on the table before leaving had been opened, and one or two bottles had already been drunk.The laptop was left open, on it was a suit that You Yezhi was drawing.

Shuci rested his chin and took a closer look: "Tsk, so I was painting this one." It seems that the design has been completed, and it looks pretty good.

You Yezhi soaked in the bath for a long time, and the water temperature gradually became cold before he opened his eyes. The sound of "splashing" water sounded as he stood up, and the air in the bathroom was filled with the sweet fragrance of shampoo.

He wiped it casually, and didn't bother to blow his hair, so he reached out and took the bathrobe and put it on.

Walking in small "slap-patta" steps on cotton slippers, You Yezhi gently pushed the door open, and when he raised his head again, he froze in place.

Shuci turned to look at him, his gaze was focused yet with a smile, and he said, "When you only drink half of the milk, you open the next bottle. Who taught you?"

You Yezhi stood in front of the door in a daze, his lips parted slightly, and his eyes were filled with surprise.He forgot to wipe the dripping hair with the towel in his hand. He had just finished taking a bath, and his whole body looked rosy and wet. As he came in, there was a fragrance in the air.

As if it was a kind of catalyst, when he smelled the calligraphy, his heart was on fire, and he looked at You Yezhi steadfastly.He got up and walked to him, took the towel in his hand, and gently wiped his black hair.

"Why, aren't you happy to see me?"

Being too close, You Yezhi looked at his face and asked, "...how did you come back?"

The aroma lingered at the tip of his nose, the words of the book were left behind his head with one hand, and he was still drying his hair with the other hand.He kept his eyes on the person in front of him, and said with a smile, "Are you surprised? I'll bring you food."

You Yezhi couldn't accept this reason, and frowned slightly.

Shuci's gaze passed over his still wet eyelashes, his lips glowing with water, and the whiteness of the leaves after taking a bath was rosy. Shuci felt that if his hand on the back of his head gently squeezed his soft neck, Every second leaves a mark.

Rationally told myself that he could not continue to look at it like this, but psychologically he was reluctant to leave.Shu Ci took a few steps forward, holding his neck with his hands and exerting a little force, and softly scolded him: "Aren't you afraid of catching a cold if you don't dry your hair after taking a shower?"

"Ah." You Yezhi's voice was very soft, as if he finally came to his senses, he reached out to get the towel: "I'll do it myself."

The book didn't move, his hands were shaking, You Yezhi's hand didn't touch the towel, but touched a hand that was still slightly cold.

He raised his head in surprise: "Hands are so cold?"

"Yes." Shuci lowered his hand, held You Yezhi's hand, and said solemnly: "Is it cold? I came back specially to deliver food to you. My grandpa made it. Be careful along the way. Outside It's still that cold."

You Yezhi felt a little guilty, and bit his lower lip lightly: "You don't need to come... I can just cook something myself."

"But I've come here, you can't drive me away."

The collar of You Yezhi's bathrobe was crossed on the chest, so the white collarbone and the bright red jade were all exposed in front of Shuci.Looking at the scriptures, he didn't know how to describe it, did the blood jade make him more fair, or his whiteness made the blood jade more dazzling.

"It's special."

You Yezhi looked at the book and his eyes fell on his neck, and he withdrew his hand, and the two of them opened up a little distance.He didn't tell him before Shuci came, he was unprepared and felt sorry, after thinking about it, You Yezhi said: "You——thank you."

"Just one thank you?"

How should I say it? He originally wanted to say "actually it doesn't need to be so troublesome", but he would be even angrier if he said the words.

"Hey." Shuci didn't ask any more questions, and went forward to lead him directly to the living room: "I'll go and heat up the food, and you can go and blow dry your hair while it's here."

"Yeah." You Yezhi hung his head, his ears were slightly red, and went straight to the bathroom.

The heating was already turned on in the room, and with the Shuci brushing for him just now, and a few minutes of hair drying was enough.You Yezhi tidied up his bathrobe, and reached out to hold the jade.

etc--

It was past seven when he took a shower, what time is it now?

Shuci warmed up the dishes and served them on plates, and the rich aroma of fish soup filled the living room.From the corner of his eye, he saw You Yezhi coming out, before he was about to speak, he was a little tired and walked over slowly.

Shu Ci brought the food to the living room and looked up: "What's wrong with you? Are you feeling uncomfortable?"

You Yezhi shook his head slightly, the bathrobe on his body was loose, Shu Ci stepped forward and tidied it up for him: "Wear it well, who will be seduced at night."

You Yezhi blushed and said, "Get lost."

You Yezhi turned to change clothes, the doorbell was rang suddenly, Shuci couldn't think of who would come here, so he hesitated to open the door.

The two stared at each other for a moment, and He Jianqi nodded politely: "Hello."

"Ah." Seeing that you are not very well, Shu Ci watched him walk in, still carrying food in his hand.

Shuci said directly: "Are you looking for You Yezhi?"

"I cooked for him and brought it here." He Jianqi looked around and glanced at You Yezhi's closed door: "He always doesn't eat on time, so I've been running here a little more these two days. Ye Zhi said that you went back to celebrate the New Year, I didn't expect to see you today."

This man's words are so interesting, Shuci thought.

He Jianqi looked at the sumptuous food on the table, was suspicious in his heart, and asked tentatively: "You brought it for him? Ye Zhi didn't tell me, maybe you came back too suddenly."

What's the meaning?The two of them have already made an appointment?

Shu Ci narrowed his eyes and looked at him for a while, but the other party just smiled and couldn't see any flaws.A few minutes later, You Yezhi changed his clothes and came out. When he saw He Jianqi, he frowned imperceptibly.

"Ye Zhi." He Jianqi said first: "You said earlier that someone brought you food, and it would be superfluous for me to bring it again."

Before You Yezhi could speak, He Jianqi opened the thermos, and the table was filled with the same sumptuous food.

How could it be possible to eat it all, and raise him like a pig?You Yezhi looked silent for a while, not knowing what to say.Looking up again, I saw Shuci's heavy eyes.

You Yezhi clenched his hands, and the three of them sat down at the same time.

He Jianqi picked up food for him, as if he had ignored the existence of Shuci: "I changed a few dishes today. You must be tired of eating a few days ago. Try this."

There was a pile of them in the bowl, and the vegetables brought back by Shuci had not been touched at all. You Yezhi looked up at Shuci, and said to He Jianqi, "Thank you, you can go back first."

He Jianqi was slightly taken aback, then nodded with a smile: "Okay, remember to send me a message."

He left, the meal was still hot, You Yezhi and Shuci were face to face.Even for 5 minutes, no one spoke.

Shu Ci pursed his lips and tapped his fingers on the table: "Why don't you eat it? He made it for you."

These words were blunt and breathless, You Yezhi heard it, but there seemed to be a hard lump in his throat, and he couldn't speak.

The book reminds: "If you don't eat it, it will be cold."

No one moved, Shu Ci looked at the bowl of crucian carp soup, then at the bone soup He Jianqi brought, and smiled, "I was still worried that you didn't eat on time, so without me, someone would deliver food to you every day? "

You Yezhi couldn't listen anymore, his voice was trembling: "Shuci—"

"What's wrong? Did you stop eating?"

You Yezhi raised his head and bumped into the dark pupils, knowing that Shuci was already angry and was waiting for his explanation.

Forget it.

The words have come to this point, You Yezhi didn't explain, didn't say anything, the book was filled with sullenness, afraid that he couldn't control the harsh words, so he got up and went back to the room.

He leaned on the sofa and rubbed the space between his brows.I got up too early in the morning, and after running for a day, the expectation that I only relied on this little meal to maintain has now come to nothing, and I can't help but feel a little tired.

You Yezhi's palms were sweating, he lowered his head to look at the sumptuous dishes one after another, a sour taste welled up in his heart, he forcibly held back the pungent and sour taste in his throat.

He could almost imagine that scene, Shu Ci sat in the car for several hours, carefully carrying these things specially prepared for him along the way.The mood is excited and looking forward to.

And he was really surprised, surprised and happy.

He reached out to pick up the vegetables, bowed his head to drink the soup, the fish soup was mellow and the dishes were delicious.As expected, Shuci did not lie to him, the food cooked by his grandfather was really delicious, unexpectedly delicious.

But You Yezhi knew clearly that what he ate was not just a simple meal.

After cleaning the bowls and chopsticks and putting them on the table, the dishes brought by He Jianqi have not been touched at all.You Yezhi pressed the button to turn off the light, passed by the door of the book room and slowly returned to his room.He leaned against the door and squatted down weakly, his hands trembling a little, and he covered his face vigorously.

He knows that Shuci means years.

He also knows his physical condition.

I'm sorry, I'm really sorry.

But I can no longer give us hope like this.

The night was quiet, You Yezhi suffered from insomnia until midnight, the mobile phone with a black screen was placed next to Shuci's pillow, I don't know how long he had insomnia, and now he finally fell asleep.

The next morning, You Yezhi pushed open the door and turned to look at Shuci's door.He opened the door without knocking.Looking up, the bed was clean and the person had already left.

There was still that pair of couplets on the table in the living room, You Yezhi stretched out his hand to open it, it was very beautiful calligraphy.

-

Year after year, they grow up and live in peace, and they dream about life after life.
