Net Match-The Spring of the Substitute

After walking along the broad street for about 10 minutes, Xu Mu and Qin Xiao stepped into a small noodle shop by the street.It was time for dinner, the shop was small, but the business was very good, they sat down on the only empty table left, Xu Mu reached out to pick up the teapot on the table, and poured two cups of sweet and clear tea into the cup. of tea.

The space of the noodle restaurant is not large, and the white water vapor in the back kitchen sometimes floats over lightly as the noodles come out of the oven, creating a moist mist.Qin Xiao propped his chin, looked down at Xu Mu, and asked softly, "Who was that person just now?"

Xu Mu glanced at him, with a little hesitation on his face: "This matter...it's a long story."

Qin Xiao saw his embarrassment, and said, "If you don't want to say it, then don't say it, it's okay."

The young man in the hall quickly brought up the noodles and soup and placed them in front of them.Xu Mu mixed the noodles with chopsticks, and shook his head lightly: "Actually, thinking about it now, it's not such a big deal. It's just that many years have passed, and I don't know where to start..."

Qin Xiao didn't speak, just sat patiently and gave him a trusting look.

The noodle balls wrapped in sauce are on the plate. Peanut butter, sesame sauce, sesame oil, vinegar, and chili oil are blended together in a perfect proportion. A little green onion and coriander embellish the simple noodles with a few emerald green flowers. Slowly use chopsticks Slowly spread until each noodle is covered with delicious sauce, and it is inhaled into the mouth with one bite, the aroma is smooth and the aftertaste is graceful.

"That man's name is Liang Dong, and he was my junior in college." After two mouthfuls of noodles, a warm heat was generated in his stomach, and Xu Mu, who gradually cleared his mind, slowly began to talk about this dusty past, "Actually, at that time, we were not very clear about our own orientation, but we just felt that getting along seemed very happy. Whether it was studying or playing, we liked to ask each other to be together. In the eyes of outsiders, it was probably a very good friendship, but For the two of us, it’s more than that.”

"Although I have no experience, I always feel subtle differences in some details. For example, when playing basketball, boys push and shove each other, or have their hands wrapped around each other. It is normal physical contact with others. Touch, but when you meet Liang Dong occasionally, it's not like that."

"After similar situations happened several times, both he and I knew that there was some unusual attraction between us. Afterwards, sometimes the two of us would quietly go to sparsely populated places in the school without doing anything. What, just sitting side by side, I feel happy."

"At that time, I really didn't understand anything. I just developed to the stage of holding hands, but I always felt that it was wrong to continue like this, but I didn't dare to say it openly... After all, in a situation like mine, in five or six years The former is still a very small number of outliers. Liang Dong is different from me. He had a girlfriend before. At that time, he broke up with his ex not long ago. I don’t know what kind of mentality he had when he approached me. Sincerity is natural. Yes, but the element of anger may still account for a lot... We happened to be walking on the road that day, and Liang Dong met his ex-girlfriend. He didn't know what kind of muscle suddenly made a mistake. He just hugged me in his arms and forced me to kiss her. Come up."

While eating the noodles, Xu Mu chattered, feeling that his mouth was a bit dry after eating the noodles, so he took a spoon and lowered his head to drink two mouthfuls of curry beef vermicelli soup. After washing everything, he sighed in enjoyment, and when he raised his eyes, he saw Qin Xiao staring at him intently, with a serious and terrifying expression.

Xu Mu was stunned by his stare, and then remembered that he had cut off his words at the wrong time, and quickly said: "Don't be angry, he didn't get married, I avoided it."

Only then did Qin Xiao loosen his frown, and said in a low voice, "I'm not angry."

After a while, he made an aggrieved expression and looked at him with bright eyes: "I'm jealous."

Xu Mu couldn't help laughing, and reached out to pick up a piece of fried pork cutlet and put it in his bowl, and said half-jokingly with the corner of his mouth bent: "Dipping the fried pork cutlet with some vinegar, it tastes good."

When he smiled, he realized that his face had been tense to the floor just now, and now it was a little stiff.Xu Mu looked at Qin Xiao, and found that the other party's nervous expression had loosened a lot after seeing him smiling, and a burst of warmth suddenly surged in his heart.

He took another sip of the soup, and continued to speak slowly: "After that incident, I was a little angry with Liang Dong, and felt that he didn't treat me sincerely... Besides, I'm also about to graduate, and I've been working on my thesis day and night. He didn't take the initiative to contact me. Although I was sad, I didn't have time to waste time with him in such a vague way. What I didn't know was that after his ex was dumped, he couldn't let go of the resentment in his heart, which made our relationship Liang Dong's parents were told about the incident, and his parents were so angry that they... went to my parents directly."

Qin Xiao's hand holding the chopsticks suddenly froze.He remembered that during the Chinese New Year, Xu Mu said that he couldn't go home, and his heart ached in pain.

"That day I went home happily with my diploma, like a fool, I didn't know anything. My dad was so angry that he almost tore up my diploma. My mother couldn't stop him, she just sat there and said nothing. I kept crying, I heard the clues from their words, I just felt cold and biting in my heart. Seeing that I didn't refute, my father scolded even more fiercely. My younger brother was only in junior high school at that time, but he was already very sensible. I was about to be kicked out of the house, and I was so scared that I shed tears, but I stayed in front of me, and my dad slapped me in vain."

"I knew it would be useless to explain, so I packed my bags and came to the south alone to find a job. My younger brother still has to study. Although the door was closed to me at home, I couldn't just leave... My younger brother told me that my mother I am already willing to accept me, but my dad’s stubborn temper may take a few more years. There is no way, there is room for maneuver in everything else, but this is the only thing I know I can’t change, and I don’t want to harm others baby girl."

Xu Mu finished his memories with a calm expression on his face: "I was a little surprised that Liang Dong came to me suddenly today, but I really have nothing to say between him and me. This matter is actually not his fault. I don't blame him, it's all in the past, and now I'm fine on my own."

He put down the chopsticks, and Qin Xiao's hand gently held his on the table, gentle and firm.

Xu Mu raised his eyes, his expression was a little surprised, but his eyes couldn't hide their moisture.

"When I confessed to my family, my parents didn't agree at first. Even when I went to study in Germany, they didn't even give me a penny for living expenses. At that time, I had to cope with the heavy academic work and the language barrier at the same time. Doing part-time jobs in restaurants to earn money, I can only sleep five hours a day at the most leisure time, life is very hard." Qin Xiao squeezed his hand with a calm expression, but the trembling fingertips revealed his A trace of uneasiness in my heart, "Young people always refuse to admit defeat. At least they survived with one breath, found a satisfactory job, and proved that their ability is enough to realize the life I want. My parents are also slowly I relaxed my attitude and relaxed my attitude. When I went home during the Chinese New Year this year, my relatives asked me if I had a date. My dad even took the initiative to defend me, saying that I should focus on my career at a young age. He will take care of his own life. We do As long as the parents support him behind his back, that's enough."

"It's a coincidence that my hometown and yours are in the neighboring city, and it takes half an hour to get there by train." Qin Xiao pursed his lips, and looked at Xu Mu with a look of anxiety, "After the Chinese New Year, you can get there with Xu Mu. I went home together, watched the snowy scenery in the north, and had snowball fights with my nephews—don’t show mercy, those rotten little guys are in need of cleaning up. My parents are at home anyway, wanting to run outside all day long. I often pass by neighboring cities, you can ask them to visit your parents' house, maybe they can help with some ideological work..."

"Qin Xiao." Xu Mu called him softly, interrupting his nervous chatter, and a warm and beautiful smile appeared on his white face, "Thank you."

Although a person's life is fulfilling, Xu Mu held Qin Xiao's hand and felt that it was time to experience a new two-person world.

He may have spent half his life in luck to meet such a person who treats him as carefully as a treasure.

Qin Xiao stared at him closely, and clenched his hands tightly: "If you send me a good card now, it will be too late. I won't let go."

Xu Mu smiled and pressed his palm: "Well, hold it tight, and I won't let go."
