You are my proper foothold

I fell asleep in the dark, and when I woke up, I found that it was still dark, which made people feel a sense of confusion in time and space.

Hui Xiaoyou habitually squinted his eyes and reached out to touch the pillow on the right side, but he found nothing. He closed his eyes again and fumbled around him, but there was still nothing. He immediately woke up and sat down on the bed. up.

His eyes began to search the dark room, and suddenly, he found a small reflective spot in the darkness directly in front of him.

Hui Xiaoyou jumped out of the bed and rushed up in two steps, took a closer look and found that it was indeed his mobile phone.

Holding the phone in his hand, he felt at ease in his heart.

It turns out that one of the main sources of modern insecurity is waking up and not being able to find your phone.The heart is simply panic.

But now that Hui Xiaoyou has been found, he doesn't panic anymore, even if he is alone in a dark room, his face is faintly reflected by the light from the phone screen, like a ghost movie, he doesn't panic.

Holding the mobile phone and sitting back on the bed, pointing fingers skillfully on the screen, checking all kinds of missing information and new things, and giving his brain time to recover by the way.

Missed calls, none.

WeChat messages, none.

SMS, none.

Hui Xiaoyou browsed through all of them, and found that he had become a "Three No Personnel" and no one cared about him.

But it was supposed to be like this, and he didn't know what else he expected to see differently.

A hello?

Before leaving the United States, they did tell the two people when they would return to China, but they probably couldn't remember it.

Hui Xiaoyou looked at the WeChat interface silently for a while, although he said to himself "don't tell me, no one cares anyway", but he still couldn't help sending two messages with his fingers.

"Dad, I'm here."

"Mom, I'm here."

The sound of "咻" when the two messages were successfully sent was a bit like a small stone slipping into the sea with a float, and disappeared in an instant without any response.

...Forget it, getting a reply within 24 hours is considered fast.

Hui Xiaoyou gave up waiting, his eyes had already adapted to the darkness, it was convenient for him to touch the desk lamp by the bedside, and then turn on the ceiling lamp in the bedroom.

I didn't pay attention to the phone after looking at it for a while, but now I took a special look and realized that it was already eleven o'clock in the evening.

It was almost the time when others were about to fall asleep, but he was so energetic that he seemed to be resurrected on the spot.

And at the same time, there is also a resurrection - hunger.

Gollum...

The sudden sound of protest from his stomach broke the silence of the night. Hui Xiaoyou shook his heart and walked out of the bedroom. He was going to look in the kitchen to see if there was anything to eat, but he found a light blue paper on the edge of the kitchen counter. A sticky note, on which was written in strong and straight handwriting: "Brother, come to my house when you wake up."

It was Jiang Xin who kept it.

Hui Xiaoyou lifted up the note and took a closer look, he was hesitating whether to go there when he heard his doorbell rang twice.

"Who?" He subconsciously asked.

"It's me." Jiang Xin's voice.

Hui Xiaoyou thought that there would be no one else, so he walked over and opened the door, and saw that Jiang Xin had changed into more casual clothes. The top was loose and short, with most of her collarbone exposed, and the corners of the clothes just covered her waist, making her look His legs are longer and stand out.

Hui Xiaoyou suddenly trembled, thinking what am I doing?Are you infatuated with your junior brother? ?Hui Yue, wake up quickly!That's your junior brother!man! ! !

He blinked and took a deep breath to calm down his inexplicable thoughts, and then said to Jiang Xin, "Why are you here?"

"I saw from the window that the light in your room was on, and I knew you were awake, so I came over to ask you to eat." Jiang Xin didn't give Hui Xiao any time to answer, she directly pulled his wrist and walked towards her home. He went on to say: "You must be hungry? Sit down and wait for me for 10 minutes. The rice is ready, and I have prepared all the ingredients. You only need to fry the dishes, and it will be very fast."

"Uh..." Before Hui Xiaoyou could react, he had already sat on Jiang Xin's sofa. Jiang Xin poured him a glass of water and said, "Drink less water first." Seeing him take it and prepare to blow He added: "It's not hot, it's specially made lukewarm, so you can drink it directly."

"Oh..." Hui Xiaoyou seemed a little at a loss under Jiang Xin's meticulous care.

He felt that Jiang Xin was really a man with a boyfriend who was as powerful as the MAX. It was a waste of resources for such a person to live alone until now, and it was intolerable.He felt that Jiang Xin shouldn't squander such good resources on him.He thought Jiang Xin should find a girl.

"Ah..." Seeing that Jiang Xin had turned around and entered the kitchen, Hui Xiaoyou couldn't help but let out a long sigh.

Was it really his fault?If it wasn't for the strong psychological trauma that his kiss had caused Jiang Xin back then, maybe by now Jiang Xin's girlfriend would have changed to another seven or eight girlfriends.

And he himself will not always be unable to think about love because he is always condemned by his conscience, and he will eventually harm himself if he hurts others...

Hui Xiaoyou confessed silently for a few more minutes, but it was only a few minutes.

Because Jiang Xin fried the vegetables in a few minutes.

"Brother, come and eat." Jiang Xin came out of the kitchen with a plate and put it on the dining table.

Hui Xiaoyou sniffed the scent with his nose up, feeling his entire chest was filled with the scent, and his sense of happiness instantly rose. He landed on the chair and stared at the person in front of him with eyes like a dog looking at a bone. The dish—it turned out to be his favorite beef tenderloin with Sanjiao!

Jiang Xin was amused by his appearance, put down the dishes and went back to the kitchen: "I was wrong, I should take out the chopsticks first."

"It's okay." Hui Xiaoyou took advantage of the time when he turned his head and quickly stretched out his "Flying Dragon Tanyun Hand" to pick up a piece of meat and threw it into his mouth, but it turned out to be too hot, just in time for Jiang Xin to come out at this time, Yan Xiaoyou Xiaoyou shut his mouth abruptly, the burning sensation in his mouth instantly evaporated his tears almost falling down.

"Senior brother..." Jiang Xin understood what was going on when he saw his appearance, and handed the water to him helplessly and funny: "It's hot? Let's cool down first. Don't worry, before eating At least test the temperature first, and then you don’t need to hide if you see me.”

"Ugh..." Hui Xiaoyou dangled water in his mouth for a long time before making a sound, and said a little aggrieved, "Who told you to come out so fast...I haven't had time to swallow yet!"

Jiang Xin controlled the curvature of the corners of her mouth not to be too obvious, and said softly, "That's why I said you don't need to hide when you see me. Here are your chopsticks. Eat slowly now."

"Hmm..." Hui Xiaoyou took the chopsticks, only then did he notice that Jiang Xin sat down opposite him with a bowl, and couldn't help asking: "You haven't eaten yet? You haven't been waiting for me, have you?"

"No, I'm just not hungry, so I'll wait for you to eat together." Jiang Xin looked at him with a smile.

Hui Xiaoyou didn't believe it at all, but he didn't care about expressing his emotion for the time being, he just gasped and said while eating: "How can it be, not hungry! I'm going, hungry and crazy!"

"Eat slowly, you may choke if you eat too quickly." Jiang Xin's eyes were slightly worried and smiling, she looked at Hui Xiaoyou while eating, her movements were gentle and elegant, in stark contrast to the hungry wolf-like person in front of her Compared.

Hui Xiaoyou took a few sips before he felt that he had regained his strength. The crazy hunger was finally suppressed. He took a breath, took two sips from the water glass, and then let out a satisfied sigh: "Finally Alive..."

"Brother, did you often do this when you were in America?" Jiang Xin asked suddenly.

Hui Xiaoyou heard that his words were unclear, and asked strangely: "How often?"

"Eat fast when you're hungry, ignore it when you're not hungry, eat irregularly, and work and rest abnormally." Jiang Xin's smile faded a little.

Hui Xiaoyou felt guilty for a moment when he saw his expression, but then he thought why he was afraid of this kid, he is a senior, what can he do with him as a senior?

Thinking about it like this, it was enough for Yan Xiao to have confidence, and he really took on the posture of a senior brother and said, "You're still educating me?"

"No." Jiang Xin probably realized that his expression was a little serious just now, and his eyes softened again, and said, "I just think you are not very good at taking care of yourself. But it will be fine in the future, I will take care of you."

It will be fine in the future, I will take care of you.

Hui Xiaoyou secretly replayed these words several times in his heart, always felt that it sounded weird, making people unable to help but think about it...

Jiang Xin shouldn't... no...

Hui Yue violently shook his head a few times as if convulsing.

No, no, what do you think, definitely not.

Under this powerful psychological suggestion, Hui Xiaoyou once again cut off the path of his thinking leading to another possibility, and thus once again missed the key point in his memory that he intentionally ignored.

He sat upright and began to eat like a gentleman, even more gentle and refined than Jiang Xin just now. It is estimated that it would be no problem to change the scene and let him directly act as a British nobleman.

Jiang Xin looked at Hui Xiaoyou thoughtfully, and didn't ask much about his strange behavior and changes, but guessed something in her heart.

Fortunately, there is no rush.

He couldn't eat hot tofu in a hurry, he had to wait for him to cool down slowly before swallowing it in one gulp.

Jiang Xin couldn't help laughing after thinking of this metaphor, and looked up to see that Yan Xiaoyou was about to eat the chopsticks gracefully, although it looked good, but very slowly, so she said to him: "Senior brother, at home, you can eat the chopsticks with a fork and a knife. Don't be so particular about it."

"Am I particular?" Hui Xiaoyou stubbornly refused to admit it, but after a pause of two seconds, he began to let go of himself again, and he could eat well, Jiang Xin just looked at him and felt that she couldn't stop herself Happy.

The night outside the window is getting darker and darker. There are fewer and fewer small grids with lights on the floor, and the sound of passing cars and conversations is almost no longer heard downstairs, as if the whole world is gradually falling asleep.

But inside the room it was a completely different scene.

Bright lights, the aroma of food, the sound of the TV from time to time despite being turned off, occasional talking and laughter, and two people sitting face to face.

Everything is warm and beautiful like a new beginning.

This is a new beginning, Jiang Xin looked at Hui Xiaoyou and thought.

Five years, four years, three years, two years.

Going back from this moment to the day they first met, after work, university, high school, and junior high school, I didn't expect it to be such a long time.

He had been looking forward to this day for 14 years.
