You are my proper foothold

"It's so full... Let's go to the supermarket to digest our food!" Hui Xiaoyou said as he came out of the restaurant after eating, holding his belly that was obviously bigger than usual.

Jiang Xin couldn't help laughing at him, "How can anyone survive by buying snacks."

"It's far away in the sky, but it's close in front of you." Hui Xiaoyou pointed to himself, walking very comfortably, seemed to be in a good mood after eating and drinking.

The supermarket they are going to is on the other side of the Four Seasons Mansion. It is in two directions from the restaurant. It takes less than 10 minutes to walk. There are two floors and a complete range of things.

Ever since Hui Xiaoyou entered the supermarket, he was like a child entering an amusement park. He looked around excitedly, whether he wanted to buy or not, he wanted to go up and have a look, but when he reached the food section, he completely let himself go.

Bags and boxes of messy snacks flew into the shopping cart one after another through his hands. He walked in front and kept taking them, and Jiang Xin followed behind, carefully identifying them, and taking out things that he thought were really unhealthy. Sneak it back on the shelf.

In order to prevent Hui Yue from seeing that the items in the shopping cart hadn't changed much in a long time, he casually took some seasonings, napkins or dishcloths from the side and threw them in. Hui Xiaoyou never thought of Jiang Xin. Will come with him to "steal the beam and change the post", and choose happily, thinking in my heart that the amount for the seven days of the Chinese New Year should be enough, and I can spare some for the younger brother to taste.

When it was time to check out, Jiang Xin said to Hui Xiaoyou: "Brother, go out and wait for me first, we don't have to wait here, I remember there is a tobacco and alcohol franchise next door, why don't you go and buy a bottle? With these few days of rest, we can find time to have a drink or two together."

"Okay, let me go and have a look, red and white?" Hui Xiaoyou walked out of the queue and turned to ask him.

"Red." After Jiang Xin finished speaking, she saw Hui Yue showing a smirk.

"It's a man's drink of course. Isn't red wine a drink? You're still a child." Hui Yue looked at Jiang Xin with "loving" eyes, then suddenly couldn't help but burst out laughing, and waved to him. After waving, he turned around and went to buy wine with a smile.

Jiang Xin was made to stand at the cash register helplessly and amused by him, thinking that she would have to buy a bottle of red wine later, drinking white wine would hurt her stomach, and drink as little as she could.

After he paid the bill and came out, Hui Xiaoyou's wine was also bought.

Jiang Xin glanced at the box and couldn't help but smile: "Brother, did you spend your money?"

"That's not true." Hui Xiaoyou shook the bag in his hand, "You came all the way back to celebrate the New Year with me, of course I have to show something."

Jiang Xin smiled and didn't answer the words, and asked, "What do you want to do when you go back tonight?"

"I don't know, watching a movie?" Hui Xiaoyou's eyes lit up, "I bought popcorn just now! We can pop it in the microwave and eat it while watching a movie!"

"...Then what movie are you watching?" Jiang Xin twitched her lips slightly, deciding not to tell him about putting the popcorn back for now.

Hui Xiaoyou kept talking about the movies he wanted to watch with great interest on the road ahead, and he had to ask Jiang Xin's opinion for one movie. In fact, Jiang Xin didn't have any objections, but he still asked with great interest. Xin then answered him enthusiastically and tirelessly.

As long as he's happy, it's fine.

Upstairs, Hui Xiaoyou asked Jiang Xin to go to his place, the two of them carried the things and put them on the ground, Hui Xiaoyou instructed Jiang Xin to find a movie first, while he squatted next to the bag and began to writhe.

Jiang Xin wanted to laugh, but she walked to the living room and turned on the TV without showing any emotion on her face.

After waiting for about two or three minutes, Jiang Xin heard Hui Xiaoyou muttering in the entrance: "It's strange, why do I feel that something is missing? Jiang Xin, did you leave a bag in the supermarket? It's missing many."

"No." Jiang Xin endured a little pain in his ribs, and he said in a strained voice, "Isn't the receipt in there, you can check with that."

"Oh." Hui Xiaoyou replied, from the voice it should be that he had found the receipt, Jiang Xin was waiting for him to explode.

really--

"Jiang-heart-!!!"

After seeing all the items on the receipt, Hui Xiaoyou stood up, gritted his teeth and called Jiang Xin's name, walked over slowly with his fists clenched, and stood in front of him face to face.

"I'll give you a chance to tell the truth what you have done." Hui Yue leaned forward, put one hand on the back of the sofa behind Jiang Xin's shoulder, and looked down at him.

Jiang Xin's breathing suddenly became a little messy.

Looking at the past from his angle now, he could just see Hui Xiaoyou's slightly slender collarbone protruding from his collarbone, as well as the faintly visible area under the collarbone, two places with darker colors...

Suddenly, it was as if a fire was ignited in the body, and the skin was scalded.

Jiang Xin clasped her hands tightly by her sides, tried her best to maintain a calm appearance, tilted her head back slightly, and kept a distance from Hui Xiaoyou as much as possible, and said in a strange voice: "Senior brother, if you continue like this Just exposed..."

Hui Xiaoyou didn't take it seriously at all, "What are men afraid of! Don't think that you can evade responsibility by saying this! Let me ask you, where is my popcorn?"

"I put it back..." Jiang Xin answered with her head turned away.

"Put, go, go. Hehe." Hui Yue picked Jiang Xin's chin back with one finger, "Who dared you, huh?"

Jiang Xin glanced at the slightly upturned corners of his eyes and the malicious smile on purpose at the corners of his mouth at this time, feeling that his lungs were about to explode, and subconsciously took a deep breath of air to cool down, but accidentally choked and suddenly coughed.

"Hey, hey..." Hui Xiao didn't expect him to react so strongly, and quickly patted him on the back and said, "Look at how courageous you are, why don't I just ask a few more questions, why are you blushing so hard? Guilty or angry?"

"Guilty, guilty..." After Jiang Xin finished coughing, seeing that Yan Xiaoyou was still very close to him, his heart couldn't stop beating, and he couldn't calm down no matter what.

At this moment, Hui Xiaoyou also realized that something was wrong with Jiang Xin, his face was flushed all the time, and his expression was also very strange, as if he was holding back something.

And according to Hui Xiaoyou's past experience, he infers that Jiang Xin is either burning with lust or having a fever.

Burning?It shouldn't be the case for him, an innocent little junior who has never even talked about love, besides, there was no stimulus just now.

After ruling out this possibility, Hui Xiaoyou stretched out his hand to touch Jiang Xin's forehead with certainty, and after feeling it for a while, said: "It seems that I really have a fever, why is it so sudden, did I catch a cold on the way back just now?" He said again Helping Jiang Xin's face that had just turned to the side, she tested the temperature and said, "Your face is so hot too... Are you okay? How do you feel now? Are you dizzy? Are you cold?"

"..."

Jiang Xin finally understands what it means to cry without tears. His current state can neither tell the truth to Hui Xiaoyou nor explain it at all, but after thinking about it, since Hui Xiaoyou has misunderstood that he has a fever, why not Do whatever he can, follow his thoughts to cover up the past.

So, Jiang Xin simply leaned back on the sofa, closed her eyes and said, "Maybe I caught a cold. But I should be able to resist it, but when you questioned me just now, I was afraid that you would hit me, and my resistance will drop when I get nervous." Yeah, now I'm burning all over..."

Hui Yue: ...Excuseme? !Are you nervous and blame me? ?I have never seen such a shameless person who forcibly dumped the blame!

Jiang Xin squinted her eyes and saw Hui Xiao's lying face, she was about to burst into laughter, but she pretended to cough twice, and said under her throat, "Senior brother, I thought it was unhealthy to put those back. For the sake of your body, don't be angry..."

Hui Xiaoyou's mouth twitched: "...I'm not angry, so don't pretend, okay, don't put such a big hat on my head."

"I didn't pretend..." Jiang Xin looked at him pitifully, touched her forehead and said, "Didn't you test it yourself and it worked? It's really hot."

"...The temperature is indeed a bit high," Hui Xiaoyou's voice slowed down, his eyes were a little worried, he took his hand and probed it with the back of his hand, sighed and reluctantly compromised: "Okay, blame me, I shouldn't have frightened you just now, who would have thought that your psychological endurance is so poor. Don't say that you are my junior when you go out in the future."

"Am I being rejected?" Jiang Xin felt that his body temperature was gradually dropping at this time, and his goal hadn't been achieved yet, so he said while the iron was hot: "Senior brother, I was scared sick by you, you shouldn't do it. What can I do to make it up?"

Hui Xiaoyou laughed angrily at him, and thought that whoever told him that Jiang Xin was cold and cold in the future, he would definitely talk about life with that person, and he couldn't allow them to open their eyes and talk nonsense.

"What do you want?" Hui Xiaoyou sat on the sofa next to him, raised his legs and looked at him leisurely.

Jiang Xin sat up straight and looked back at him with a faint smile, "Before I told you why I came back early, now should you also tell me why you stayed in the hotel last night?"

"You haven't finished yet, have you?" Hui Xiaoyou frowned, "Can we skip this matter."

"Senior brother, I came back on the second day of the Lunar New Year. You should let me know the reason."

"I didn't ask you to come back—" Hui Yue's voice stopped before he finished speaking, he looked at Jiang Xin's serious expression, lowered his head and said, "Sorry...that's not what I meant, it's not that I don't know what's good and what's wrong people."

"Brother." Jiang Xin couldn't help sighing, sat down and put his arms around his shoulders, "If you really don't want to say it, then don't say it."

"How about pretending to be reasonable with me now?" Hui Xiaoyou glared at him, and then remained silent for a while before speaking again: "Actually, it's not a big deal, it's just that my mother and the others went to Southeast Asia for the New Year this year, and I don't have the key when they move to a new house. If you don’t go, just find a hotel to make do with it for the night.”

Jiang Xin's arms couldn't help but tighten a little, almost wrapping Hui Xiaoyou in her arms.

He lowered his voice and asked, "Why didn't you contact me? You didn't tell the truth when I called you early in the morning."

"To be honest, what are you doing? Are you spoiling your interest? It's Chinese New Year..." Hui Xiaoyou exhaled a long breath, freed himself from Jiang Xin's arm, leaned his upper body forward, and put his elbows on his knees . "You also know that my parents have been divorced for so many years, and they have their own families. The Chinese New Year has always been boring to me. It's like going back every year to sign in. It has no special meaning. The most fortunate thing for me to study abroad for five years It just saves five check-ins, and if you don’t go back, there won’t be so many messy things.”

Hui Xiaoyou said it calmly, as if it was true, if Jiang Xin hadn't called him last night, maybe he would have believed it right now.

Yet he fought and heard.

He heard Hui Xiaoyou say in that distressed tone after he was drunk, "I want to go home..."

So now, he basically doesn't believe a word of what his senior brother said.

"Finished asking?" Hui Xiaoyou waited until Jiang Xin didn't speak out, then turned to look at him, "Why does it seem like your fever has subsided after a while? Is it on purpose?"

"Fever is something I can't control." Jiang Xin smiled at him, rubbed his head and said, "It's good if the fever subsides. Shall we watch a movie?"

Hui Xiaoyou observed his expression suspiciously for a while, but he couldn't see anything unusual, so he had no choice but to give up and said, "Let's start playing."

"Yeah." Jiang Xin took another look at him and pressed the play button.

……

That night, Hui Xiaoyou watched three movies in a row, and Jiang Xin was so sleepy that she couldn't keep going after watching the first 10 minutes of the third movie.

It was different from Hui Xiao who had slept all day. He slept almost at the same time as him last night, but got up early in the morning to go to his grandmother's house. After lunch, he drove to the airport. Accompanying Hui Xiaoyou until this late, it was already past three o'clock in the middle of the night.

Yan Xiaoyou saw Jiang Xin's head resting on the backrest and his eyes slightly closed, knowing that he was very tired, so he gently pushed him twice and said, "Go back to sleep, don't suffer with me."

Jiang Xin barely opened her eyes, looked at him and smiled, "No need. If I go back, you will become a person again, so why did I come back?"

"...Why don't you sleep on my bed, as long as there are two people in the room." Hui Xiaoyou stood up to help him, but Jiang Xin sat still.

Hui Xiaoyou was a little helpless, patted his face and said: "Young man, cooperate, you are sleepy and not too drunk, don't pretend you don't understand people's words."

Jiang Xin closed her eyes and smiled and fell to the side, lying on the sofa, and said in a buzzing voice: "Life is short, I have to follow the calling of my heart, and I will pay attention to whether I am so tired or not when I sleep."

"Hey, let me say—" Hui Xiaoyou didn't have a temper when he heard that he used his own words at such a time, so he could only scold in his heart that he deserved to be a junior who brought him up with one hand, and cheating is a virtue.

In the end, Hui Xiaoyou really had nothing to do with him, he couldn't move or lift him up, so he could only carry his quilt from the bedroom and cover him, then hugged his head and let him rest on his lap On the ground, the man fell asleep quickly as if he had settled down immediately.

Hui Xiaoyou couldn't help staring at him with anger and laughter for a long time, but after seeing him, he lost all anger and only laughed.

"It's pretty honest to fall asleep."

He sighed in a low voice, and looked at Jiang Xin's calm expression for a while, but his heart suddenly seemed to be hit by something.

A warm feeling rushed to every corner of his body in an instant, and his heart even felt a little itchy.

"Am I so moved..." Hui Xiaoyou scratched his chest with his hand while talking to himself.

There was a sentence that he was embarrassed to say just now, but now he finally said it in a low voice after scratching.

"Thank you."

It's great not to have to celebrate the New Year alone.
