Roommate split personality how to do?
Work related
Mu Mu was already working on a project with Xu Mowen. When the two first met, Mu Mu also regarded him as Xu Mowen's copy.Later, Mu Mu ran into Cheng Yan alone in the laboratory, throwing a box of chocolates into the trash can with no expression on his face, and it was clearly delivered to him by a senior sister with a blushing face five minutes ago. He seemed a bit overwhelmed in surprise, not only did not say any words of rejection in person, but also sent the girl out of the small red building in a gracious manner.
This scene left an indelible impression on Mu Mu. She also knew that Cheng Yan must have declined the senior sister in private and did not do anything harmful, but she couldn't help but ask Cheng Yan. what does it feel like?
At that time, they were already getting along quite well, and Cheng Yan said two words bluntly: Trouble.
Mu Mu was very surprised, and blurted out, why are you like this.
She really wanted to say, if she didn't like it at first, why bother to pretend to be happy in front of outsiders.
Cheng Yan didn't understand what she meant, but gave her a strange look, and said, if I knew that my senior sister liked it, I would give you the chocolate, so as not to waste it.
From then on, the way Mu Mu looked at Cheng Yan changed.
After a while, Cheng Yan found that Mu Mu was always trying to make him angry, and he thought it was quite interesting, so he just cooperated and behaved worse and worse in front of her.Anyway, saying a few harsh words is not much more difficult than holding Mr. Hao Hao's face.
The more Cheng Yan was willing to bicker with her, the happier Mu Mu seemed to be, as if in her heart, a "true villain" Cheng Yan was far more likable than a "hypocrite" Cheng Yan.
After going back and forth, Cheng Yan would no longer hold it like that in front of Mu Mu.
But in front of the senior brother he just met, he still wants to behave like a polite and good senior brother.
When it was lunch break, Cheng Yan heard no movement in the outside office, so he took the cup of coffee out.He ate something casually in the school cafeteria, went to several departments in the afternoon to complete the entry procedures, bought a new phone card, and bought two bottles of green tea at the nearby supermarket when he returned to Xiaohonglou.
In the evening, there was no one in the building, and Mu Mu told him that he had to leave first. When Cheng Yan returned to the office, only Li Dongxing was still there, holding a book in his hand.
"I haven't left yet." Cheng Yan greeted casually, and threw away the extra green tea he bought.
He didn't expect Li Dongxing to be there, but it was just right if he was.
Li Dongxing took the green tea, was a little surprised, and said, "Thank you, brother."
Cheng Yan smiled: "Reciprocity is a courtesy."
He said that he habitually lowered his head to touch the phone, looked at it twice and frowned slightly.
Li Dongxing glanced at him: "The wireless password was changed last year." He tore off a piece of paper from his notebook, wrote hastily, and handed it over.
The handwriting is like a person, neat and elegant, much better than Cheng Yan himself.
"Thank you." Cheng Yan walked a few steps, then remembered to ask, "What's your phone number?"
Li Dongxing was stunned, and reported the number of strings.
Cheng Yan took out his mobile phone and dialed it: "I'll try the signal."
Just now the carrier asked him to try it, but he couldn't find a domestic number that he remembered.
Hearing the default Nokia ringtone, Cheng Yan thanked him, went back to his office, thought about it, and saved the number.
He packed his suitcase and prepared to go back early. He passed by the big office outside and took a look. Li Dongxing was still sitting in the same place, but the book in his hand was changed.
Really hardworking.Cheng Yan raised his eyebrows and went downstairs without saying hello.
Cheng Yan's family lived in the community opposite the school, and many teaching staff of Jiangcheng University lived near here, and Xu Mowen was no exception.The house that Cheng Yan lived in was bought by his parents when he returned to China alone, thinking that it would be closer to Xu Mowen's house so that it would be convenient for him to take care of him in the future.More than ten years later, the new building has become an old building, and many people come and go. Xu Mowen has never moved, and Cheng Yan has no interest in moving. The idea of renting out the house.
His family lived on the third floor, and the neighbor next door had already changed into a new face, and he was a little curious to see him open the door.
No one lived there for five years, and when he opened the door, Cheng Yan felt ashamed.When he entered the house, the first thing he did was to open the windows to ventilate the air, and he went downstairs for half an hour before returning.
There are two bedrooms and one living room in this house, all the furnishings are the same as when he left, but it seems that time has been blocked from the door.
Cheng Yan spent four hours carefully cleaning his room and a corner of the living room three times, packed his suitcases, and it was already midnight.
Jiangcheng is rainy in summer, and there will be faint thunder. Cheng Yan closes the windows, lays down on the bed, closes his eyes and listens to the sound of wind and rain. It's no different from the one in the hotel.
The jet lag caused Cheng Yan to wake up just after five o'clock.He didn't have the habit of staying in bed, and he had nothing to do left and right, so he was ready to go to the office after washing up.
It was just around six o'clock when we got to the small red building, and the consultation room didn't start to receive patients until 09:30, and there was no one on the first and second floors.The lights on the third floor were also off. Cheng Yanshua opened the door and walked into the big office. After walking a few steps, he heard some movement nearby.
He followed the sound and looked over, and saw a dark shadow nestled on the sofa, and immediately felt vigilant.At the beginning of school, it is inevitable that fish and dragons are a bit chaotic in the school. Could it be that some thieves are stupid enough to break in here?
He moved to the wall, ready to jump over to catch someone, and quickly turned on the light.
As soon as the light came on, Cheng Yan saw the person on the sofa clearly, and was stunned: "It's you?"
The person on the opposite side jumped up and was surprised when he saw Cheng Yan, and called out "Senior Brother" anxiously.
Cheng Yan glanced at the blanket on the sofa, and after he understood it, he asked, "You didn't go home at night?"
Li Dongxing nodded.
Cheng Yan: "There is no project to stay up late recently, right?"
Li Dongxing nodded again.
Cheng Yan: "Then why do you sleep in the office?"
Li Dongxing was silent for a while, then whispered, "I'm sorry."
Cheng Yan choked.He didn't say anything yet, and his facial expression was theoretically pleasant enough, why did he look like he just yelled at someone?
He sat down on the other side of the sofa, shared the buns he had just bought with Li Dongxing, and asked calmly, "Do you want to eat?"
Li Dongxing took it silently, and after saying thank you, he lowered his head and gnawed on the bun.
Cheng Yan took a breather again: "Where do you live?"
He remembered that the school would not arrange a dormitory for research assistants, and wondered if Li Dongxing thought that he lived too far away, and it took time to travel to and from school.
Li Dongxing didn't answer for a while.
Cheng Yan thought of a possibility, and asked in surprise, "You don't have a place to live, do you?"
Li Dongxing: "Yes."
Cheng Yan was shocked: "Then where do you live during the summer vacation?"
Could it be that they all sleep on the sofa in the office?
Li Dongxing seemed to understand what he was thinking, and quickly explained: "I rented a house before, and it was just yesterday... something happened. It's not convenient to cause trouble for the landlord, so I had to go back to the office first."
Cheng Yan frowned: "You were evicted by the landlord in the middle of the night yesterday?"
Li Dongxing lowered his head and said, "...I decided to leave myself."
Judging by his appearance, he might have been drenched in the rain at night.
Cheng Yan got up and poured a cup of hot water for Li Dongxing, and said, "Don't you have my mobile phone number? If you have any troubles in the future, you can ask your brothers and sisters to help solve it."
Li Dongxing held his cup and looked up, obviously moved, and said "OK" in a hoarse voice.
Cheng Yan sighed: "But you can't live here. Even if it's the third-floor office, there will be other teachers and even patients coming and going. The outer wall of the big office is glass, and it's not always easy to see you sleeping on the sofa." suitable."
The guilt on Li Dongxing's face rose again, he nodded again and again, and immediately wanted to stand up: "Well, I'll find another place right away..."
Cheng Yan suddenly said, "Forget it. Why don't you come over and live with me?"
Li Dongxing opened his eyes wide and didn't react for a while.
Cheng Yan smiled and said, "I live across from the school, and I have a vacant room at home." After a while, he added, "I'll talk about the rent later, just don't think the place is too old."
Li Dongxing stared blankly at Cheng Yan, his long eyelashes trembling, and said in a low voice, "Brother, you are really a good person."
☆、Four personalities ([-])
In Cheng Yan's life, the most indispensable thing is a good person card.
But this card came a bit too suddenly, and it knocked him awake with a bang.
He couldn't help but reflect on whether he pretended to be an enthusiastic senior brother too much, and was actually planning to bring home someone he had just met for a day as a roommate.After all, Cheng Yan never lived on campus, and for him, living with someone else was the first time in history.
However, the words were out of his mouth, Li Dongxing looked at him with eyes full of emotion now, he couldn't go back on what he said, and let the other party sleep in the office or on the street.In Xu Mowen's absence, if others saw Li Dongxing sleeping on the sofa, he and Mu Mu would lose face.Anyway, thinking about it, he didn't have any particularly shady habits, and Li Dongxing looked like an easy-going person. Living under the same roof was probably not much different from staying in the same office, so there wouldn't be any troubles.
So this was settled.
Li Dongxing went back to his original residence and moved all his belongings. Cheng Yan saw that there were even fewer things than his own. There was only one set of bedding and few clothes in total.Just like Li Dongxing, it's more like borrowing a sofa from Cheng Yan's house than moving house.
When they arrived at Cheng Yan's house, Li Dongxing really stood in front of the sofa and did not leave.
Cheng Yan: "Your room is over there."
Li Dongxing stared at the sofa: "This place is big enough."
Cheng Yan was very speechless, and smiled and said, "Could it be possible that you are still addicted to sleeping on the sofa? Go to bed honestly, I still want to sit on the sofa."
Li Dongxing had no choice but to carry the quilt into the empty bedroom, walked around in circles, and stood back in front of Cheng Yan.
He made up his mind and said, "Brother, I will give you the rent."
Cheng Yan stared at the computer without looking up: "Understood, wait until you have money."
Li Dongxing finally breathed a sigh of relief, and didn't insist on sleeping on the sofa anymore.
Cheng Yan remembered, found a few clean rags, and said to Li Dongxing, "You haven't slept much in your room, wipe it off."
Li Dongxing hugged the dishcloth like he was holding a baby, and looked at Cheng Yan gratefully.
Cheng Yan's heart skipped a beat when he was seen. This kid looks cold, but his eyes are too big, black and white are clear and watery. Every time he stares at someone like this, it's as if there are ten thousand sentences hidden in his deep affection.He wasn't very kind at first, how could he bear this kind of gratitude, he just felt his scalp go numb, and hurriedly waved people back to the house.
Li Dongxing is indeed a good roommate, reflected in the fact that he rarely disturbs Cheng Yan.After school started, Cheng Yan also got busy. Although he didn't need to teach students, his scientific research tasks were not light. He collected all the experiments and often stayed in the laboratory at ten o'clock in the evening.When he came out of the biology building and returned to his office in Xiaohonglou, Li Dongxing was usually still there, returning home later than him.At the end of the day, the two didn't have many chances to meet each other.Even when they were together at home, Li Dongxing was still very quiet, often making Cheng Yan feel that there was no one more person in the room at all.
The peaceful days continued until the weekend of the first week.
Cheng Yan was very busy for several days this week.This time he returned to China, he changed his direction and planned to try some new technologies to continue his previous projects.All the work he did during his doctoral period was related to memory, most of which were electrophysiological experiments on rats and monkeys. The new monkeys he bought hadn’t arrived yet, and he couldn’t just sit around, so Wang Yongchun asked him if he would like to try neuroimaging. I can cooperate with several other teachers in the department who are doing functional research on the human brain.
Cheng Yan was already thinking about this matter, so he naturally agreed.
Hearing about this, Mu Mu said: "Hey, Chengda scientist, don't you torture monkeys anymore?"
Cheng Yan: "Being a monkey is too troublesome."
Mu Mu laughed: "Well, figured it out? Yes, yes, it's better to be a human being."
While chatting with her, Cheng Yan picked up the candy box from Mu Mu's table and held it to her hand: "Eat more."
After eating a few, Mu Mu realized in surprise, "You treat me like a monkey?"
Cheng Yan: "No, I just saw a study showing that excessive sugar intake affects memory. Do you remember where you put your key card?"
Mu Mu touched his pocket: "Oops, it's really gone."
Cheng Yan nodded solemnly: "It seems to be true. Look, studying you is much less labor-intensive than studying monkeys."
At this time Li Dongxing just walked in from the outside: "Senior sister, why did you drop your key card?"
"Cheng! Yan!" Mu Mu was furious, "You didn't remind me when I saw you, why didn't you study it for me, anti-social pervert!"
Li Dongxing didn't know the cause and effect, so he couldn't understand it: "Senior sister, how can you call Cheng Yan a pervert, what a nice person he is."
Mu Mulian glared at him too: "Okay, I turned my elbow out in a few days, it's really a senior who doesn't want to stay!"
Li Dongxing, who stood passively in line, was confused and looked at Cheng Yan as if asking for help.
Cheng Yan laughed, stood up and patted him on the shoulder, feeling better for some reason.
Now that there is a new project, there are more things to do, and he went to the laboratory as usual on Saturday.When he returned to the office at noon, Cheng Yan found that the mental health center was much more empty than the biology building. Except for the teachers and nurses on duty, there were no students there.This was the first time since he started school that he didn't see Li Dongxing in the office.
He originally thought that Li Dongxing was out on business, but when he returned home at ten o'clock, he realized that he was wrong.
Li Dongxing stayed at home all day, cleaning the inside and outside of the places he hadn't touched.
Now this room can be called bright and clean.The floor had obviously been carefully mopped, the gray tiles on the wall were brightened, and there was a cushion on the sofa that he hadn't seen before.
However, this is not the point.
Cheng Yan stared at the mahogany bookcase in the corner of the living room for a long time.It was originally full of books and sundries in a mess, but now it has been sorted out without exception, and the layers are stacked neatly.
He rushed forward, touched the shiny cabinet, and asked, "Where are the things that were originally placed on top of the cabinet?"
His voice was not loud, but he seemed rather gloomy.This is almost impossible for Cheng Yan in normal times.
Li Dongxing also noticed his strangeness, and hurried over, opened the cabinet door and said, "It's all stored below."
Cheng Yan bent down, not even noticing that his shoulder almost bumped into Li Dongxing's arm.
His hands trembled a little, until he took out all the things lying in the cabinet and confirmed that they were still there one by one, his heart seemed to settle down.
The first was a train, then some Ultramans and Transformers, and finally a model helicopter with a broken propeller.
It looks about the same as before, nothing has changed, except that there is a lot less dust.
He quietly put the toys back on the top of the cabinet as they were.
Li Dongxing said in a daze beside him: "It turns out that there are still a few newspapers covering them, and I haven't thrown them away yet..."
Cheng Yan waved his hand weakly: "Forget it."
He sat back on the sofa, buried his face in his palms, as if intending to remember the smell of dust from his fingertips, and did not speak for a while.
Li Dongxing moved over, stood aside and said softly, "Are you all right?"
Cheng Yan felt that there was a fire in his head that was getting higher and higher, and he had no choice but to suppress it, so he said coldly, "Remember not to mess with other people's things in the future."
Li Dongxing has never seen him like this before. On weekdays, Li Chengyan is very kind most of the time. Although he is not very warm, he is very caring, and he feels very similar to Xu Mowen; or occasionally when talking and laughing with Mu Mu, The smile on Cheng Yan's face may contain a bit of sarcasm, but it is rarely revealing.But now Cheng Yan was sitting there, his lips tightly pressed together, without saying a word, his whole body was like an active volcano whose ice shell had been pierced, if it wasn't for the lens blocking it, the staring eyes would almost Splash sparks.
And the person who made a hole in the ice was Li Dongxing.
It was as if what he had just removed was not a layer of old newspapers, but a layer of flesh from Cheng Yan's heart.
He moved a step slightly, got closer to Cheng Yan, and said, "I'm sorry."
Cheng Yan glanced at him, and was not surprised to see that young daughter-in-law's grievance after being yelled at for doing something wrong. the one?After thinking about it, why is he not a bully?He cleaned the house for him out of good intentions, and when he brought him home, he didn't make an agreement with him, so why would he just talk to himself and lose his temper.
You must know that the dust has accumulated for more than five years, and it is not easy to clean it.
The more Cheng Yan remained silent, the more nervous Li Dongxing became. His cheeks were sweating a little, but he raised his sleeve and wiped it several times before he knew it. The sleeve was not clean at all. With this wipe, gray marks appeared on his otherwise fair face. , coupled with those big watery eyes, now she looks more than just a little daughter-in-law, she looks like Cinderella who has taken heightening drugs.
... Cheng Yan is not interested in being a stepmother yet.
Under Li Dongxing's pitiful gaze, the fire in Cheng Yan's head that was growing bigger and bigger was extinguished with a snap, and he calmed down: "It's okay, it's not your problem. I'm tired of cleaning the house for me." , and this cushion is very comfortable, thank you."
After speaking, he got up and went back to his room.
Cheng Yan didn't sleep well that night. Toy train transformers and propellers came and went before his eyes. He woke up suddenly in the middle of the night, his head hurt like he had been run over by a train, and he almost ran out to throw up.
He fumbled to turn on the light in the room, intending to go to the kitchen to get a glass of water, but he didn't expect to hear a strange sound coming from the sofa as soon as he entered the living room.
The voice was very soft and intermittent, like a child crying, but not so shrill.
Cheng Yan was agitated by his own thoughts and trembled. Even an atheist like him was frightened by the crying in the middle of the night.
He took a deep breath, prepared to see anything, and approached the sofa.
The curtains in the living room were not fully drawn, and with the moonlight that was scattered on the ground, I could barely see.
There was a shadow curled up on the floor under the sofa, and the whimpering sound came from that shadow's mouth.
Cheng Yan: "Why is it you again?!"
It was his roommate lying on the ground, with long arms and legs huddled together, and the cushion he just bought for Cheng Yan was still tightly wrapped in his arms.
Seeing Cheng Yan approaching, Li Dongxing didn't raise his head, but curled up even tighter at the foot of the sofa, as if desperately trying to squeeze himself into a ball.
Cheng Yan thought he wasn't awake yet, but upon closer inspection, the guy's eyes were obviously open, and there were two lines of tears hanging on his cheeks, even his nose was red from crying, and the tears and snot covered the cushion in his arms.
"Could it be sleepwalking?" Cheng Yan had never seen a grown man cry so sadly. Cheng Yan was stunned, and bent over to touch Li Dongxing's shoulder, not knowing what to do with him.
Unexpectedly, when he was touched by his hand, Li Dongxing cried even harder. While crying, he whispered, "Don't...don't drive me away...I'm very obedient, very obedient, very obedient..."
Cheng Yan was a little embarrassed, wondering if it was because he said too much just now, which made Li Dongxing worry so much?He hesitated for a while, and then apologized: "I'm sorry, I lost my composure just now. Those things...are very important to me, and no one has touched them for 15 years. But don't worry, I told you to live in the house." Well, I'm sure I won't go back on my word because of such a trivial matter. How can I be so narrow-minded?"
Li Dongxing raised his head and glanced at him carefully: "Really?"
Cheng Yan said helplessly, "Of course it's true."
Li Dongxing stretched out a hand: "Pull the hook."
Cheng Yan: "...what?"
Li Dongxing blinked, and then showed a weeping expression again.
It's over, don't cry anymore.Cheng Yan's heart froze, and he also stretched out his little finger, hooking Li Dongxing's hand.
The two big men were playing hook games under the moonlight in the middle of the night. If Mu Mu knew about it, he would laugh his contact lenses to the ground.
The thing that broke him down even more was yet to come. After pulling the hook, Li Dongxing was still not satisfied, so he grabbed his hand, pulled him so that he couldn't stand still, and had to sit down on the floor.
Li Dongxing finally stopped hugging the cushion.He found Cheng Yan.
Cheng Yan was suddenly hugged around the waist, and couldn't stand up even if he wanted to, so he could only sit obediently beside Li Dongxing.
Li Dongxing still felt that it wasn't enough, leaned his head over, rubbed his shoulder, and said in a crying voice, "I'm afraid."
Cheng Yan's eyes almost popped out.What's going on here, a grown man a little taller than him is acting like a spoiled child to him?
He gritted his teeth, stiffly raised the arm that was not held, and patted the head on the shoulder: "Don't be afraid, I really won't drive you away."
Li Dongxing pursed his lips: "I'm afraid of the dark."
Cheng Yan held back for a while, then went all out and said, "I'll accompany you."
Anyway, he has to accompany him if he doesn't want to, don't look at this guy suddenly becoming a sticky cotton candy, just look at the strength of his hands, he is sticky at the level of [-].
Li Dongxing leaned against him, still sobbing at first, then his breathing finally calmed down.
Cheng Yan thought that this guy had finally fallen asleep, so he breathed a sigh of relief.
As a result, as soon as he moved, Li Dongxing entangled him again, murmuring in a half-dream and half-awake state: "...you are so kind."
Cheng Yan wanted to cry but had no tears: "I see, thank you, there is no need to send the card a second time."
Let him go to bed, will you?He has been so stimulated that he can't even care about the pain of his head.
Never expected that Li Dongxing would say something even more terrifying: "I like you so much."
Cheng Yan's eyes darkened.
He thought, Li Dongxing did not sleepwalk.It must be him who is sleepwalking.
☆、Four personalities ([-])
The next morning, Cheng Yan woke up on the sofa.
He was covered with a dark blue blanket, a style he had never seen before, and it should have been brought by Li Dongxing.There was still a soft pillow under his head, he got up and looked, it was not the cushion that made the most of the contribution.
Thinking of how the cushion was treated last night, Cheng Yan felt a numbness in the back of his neck, and decided to throw this thing to the dry cleaner in a while.
He was apparently alone in the house.Cheng Yan rubbed his neck and thought about it, this is good, otherwise he would not be sure what to say to Li Dongxing.Do you want to say, hey, although I was the one who said something serious yesterday, it’s better not to let things like hugging people as pillows in the middle of the night don’t happen again, okay?
What if Li Dongxing felt even more wronged after he finished talking and started crying?
Cheng Yan was so frightened by this possibility that he shuddered.
On Sunday, he originally had an appointment with another associate professor of the biology department. He went to the school to talk for half an hour, but Cheng Yan was not in the mood, and he misrepresented the results of several experiments he had done several times.
"Mr. Cheng, is the jet lag still up?" The other party was a female teacher in her thirties, who saw some clues, and smiled kindly at Cheng Yan.
"No, it's a personal matter." Cheng Yan rubbed his temples, his face full of apology, "I'm really sorry, Mr. Qian, I asked you out on the big weekend, but I'm not ready."
We are all colleagues, so we won't embarrass each other. Hearing what Cheng Yan said, he understood, and made another appointment with Cheng Yan.Cheng Yan treated the teacher to an afternoon tea, and the two casually chatted about a few things that had nothing to do with work, and then talked happily about each other.
After seeing off Teacher Qian, Cheng Yan's cell phone rang.
Cheng Yan answered, "Hi, hello."
There was a pause over there, and he yelled at him for a while: "You didn't talk to me after getting a phone card?"
Cheng Yan held the phone away from his ear, and waited for the rant to finish before taking it back: "It was Li Dongxing who gave you my phone number?"
Mu Mu: "...you gave him your phone number alone? I said when did your relationship become so..."
Cheng Yan: "I live with him now."
Mu Mu hung up the phone in fright.
Two minutes later, she rushed into the cafe and sat down opposite Cheng Yan.
"I originally wanted to gossip about you asking girls out for coffee on weekends." She said quietly, "I didn't expect you to tell a more important one."
Cheng Yan lowered his head and took a sip of tea: "He has no place to live, and I happen to have a vacant room, so I'm just doing my junior a favor."
Mu Mu's eyes widened: "We have known each other for almost ten years, and you have never invited me into your house once! Now you tell me, you picked up the stranger you just met for a few days to be your roommate? Cheng Yan, do you still know that anti-social young man? Didn’t he give someone a soul?”
Cheng Yan frowned.Speaking of soul piercing, he still felt that another person was pierced by soul last night.
When he thought of Li Dongxing, his mind was filled with the image of that guy curled up at the foot of the sofa with tears in his eyes.This matter lingered in his mind, causing him to ruin even a planned work meeting.
"You... Are you familiar with this junior brother?" He had to ask Mu Mu tentatively.
"You said winter travel?" Mu Mu beckoned for a chocolate ice cream, thought for a long time there, and said vaguely, "It's okay."
Cheng Yan: "His...how is his personality?"
Mu Mu looked at him suspiciously: "Why, are you serious about blind dates?"
Cheng Yan: "Learn about it casually."
Mu Mu thought for a while and said, "The kid is quite quiet, but he doesn't like to talk much. He is very kind, especially gentle and caring. Everyone likes him."
Cheng Yan: "No more?"
Mu Mu: "Didn't you live with him? You can't see how he is?"
I saw it, but I just couldn't believe it.
Cheng Yan thought about it for a while, but still felt that he couldn't tell Mu Mu what happened last night, so he had to insinuate: "Is he a little... insecure?"
The doubts in Mu Mu's eyes grew deeper and deeper: "Hey Cheng Yan, you're a little weird today. Didn't you reject our psychoanalysis before?"
Cheng Yan was noncommittal, seeing that the ice cream in Mu Mu's hand was almost finished, he ordered another one for her.
Mu Mu's filial piety to him was very useful, and while digging for ice cream, he continued the conversation: "Dong Xing is actually quite introverted. Although he is very good to everyone, I haven't seen him have any particularly good friends. Also, I heard from the boss that his parents should have been gone for a long time, and the family situation seems to be not good. Actually, it is not appropriate for me to tell you these things. Cheng Yan, if you really want to know Li Dongxing, you should ask he."
Cheng Yan nodded: "I will."
Mu Mu suddenly raised his head and stopped him: "Cheng Yan. In fact, I am both surprised and happy that you are willing to get close to Dong Xing. I am not only for him, but also for you. Look at when you have treated anyone over the years. Or take care of things. If multiple roommates can make you more human, I have to thank Dongxing."
It was rare for Mu Mu to be so sincere. Cheng Yan was taken aback for a moment, and didn't subconsciously retort that he was inhumane. He just frowned slightly, and then quickly let go.
He handed Mu Mu a tissue, and pointed to the empty ice cream bowl: "Do you still want to eat?"
Mu Mu: "You think I'm a pig!"
Cheng Yan: "I treat you."
Mu Mu: "... come."
Coming out of the cafe, Cheng Yan wandered around the school doing nothing, and finally turned to the supermarket.
From Mu Mu's tone, Li Dongxing seemed to be a practical and capable young man, and he was completely different from the guy who was holding him and crying loudly last night.There are only two possibilities, either he had such a headache last night that he really had hallucinations, or he really said something wrong.
Mu Mu didn't go into details, but Cheng Yan could also imagine what kind of life a child whose parents died early would live.If he either went to an orphanage or was adopted by relatives, Li Dongxing was probably used to living under the fence when he was a child, and maybe he was often threatened by his elders to kick him out of the house if he did something wrong.
That's why when he saw Cheng Yan get angry yesterday, Li Dongxing was so trembling, fearing that Cheng Yan would let him move away, even to the point of breaking down and crying.
Although this explanation was a bit unbelievable, Cheng Yan still thought about it seriously, and felt that the fault was all his own.
Just passing by the restaurant outside the school, Cheng Yan called Li Dongxing.
It took a while for the call to be connected. Li Dongxing heard that the environment was a bit noisy, but the voice was as usual: "Senior brother, what's the matter?"
Cheng Yan was rather embarrassed, cleared his throat, and asked, "Do you want to have dinner together tonight?"
Li Dongxing hesitated, and said, "I'm going back very late..."
Cheng Yan: "I'll buy takeaway, I'll wait for you to come with me."
Li Dongxing seemed to ask the person next to him, and then replied: "Okay brother, I will definitely be back before nine o'clock."
It was 55:[-] when he got home.
Cheng Yan took a lot of effort to clear out two sets of utensils from the kitchen, but he still couldn't restore the stove that hadn't been turned on for five years, so the two could only sit facing each other, eating a pile of cold fried vegetables.
In order to come back before nine o'clock, Li Dongxing probably left in a hurry, with beads of sweat hanging on his forehead.He came back in such a hurry and ate cold dishes, but he didn't mean to complain at all. He sat quietly at the table with his rice bowl in his hand, chewing slowly, eating in a very elegant manner.
Cheng Yan looked left and right, but he still couldn't connect the handsome young man in front of him with the man who cried so much his nose and tears last night.
He struggled for a while and said, "Don't take what I said yesterday to your heart."
Li Dongxing raised his head, swallowed all the food in his mouth first, and then said, "Brother, what do you mean?"
Cheng Yan was not sure about his attitude, so he could only say the line he had thought up: "Since you live here, treat this as a home. I'm used to living alone, and this home doesn't really feel like home. If you Yes, if you want to tidy up, it’s fine.”
He had been brewing this passage for quite a while, and he almost squeezed out all the warmth that was not born in his chest, for fear that he might not be able to express it properly, making Li Dongxing think that he was not sincerely welcoming.
Li Dongxing put down the bowls and chopsticks, thought about it seriously, and said, as if suddenly realizing it, "Okay, I'll buy a few more bowls another day."
Cheng Yan looked at the missing bowl in front of him, and thought with some embarrassment, that's not what he meant.
His junior is not only unpredictable in character, but he is also very powerful in his understanding and kung fu.
The meal was quite harmonious, Li Dongxing didn't intend to mention what happened last night, so Cheng Yan didn't mention it again.He thought, as an adult man, Li Dongxing would definitely not like someone seeing him crying, let alone mentioning it repeatedly.
No matter how you look at it last night, it was just an unpleasant accident, and they might as well forget it tacitly.
The two naturally chatted about research, and Cheng Yan asked casually, "Why did you choose psychiatry?"
Li Dongxing thought for a while, and replied: "The teacher said that studying psychiatry can help us better understand human beings and ourselves."
This answer is quite satisfactory enough to be used in the admission interview.
Cheng Yan said: "Human consciousness is something that can't be clearly seen or touched. How can it be so easy for people to understand it because of a few sets of theories."
Xu Mowen's main direction is consultation, but he has never paid much attention to psychoanalysis. Those things are too empty, like catkins floating in the wind, and he can't catch them at all.
Cheng Yan had seen many psychiatrists before.At first he was forced by his parents, but later he was taken by Xu Mowen. What those people said to him sounded different, but in Cheng Yan's heart, there was no difference.
It was as if someone was trying to chisel and chisel in his brain with a small hammer, but any small chips that were chiseled out were like digging treasures.
Cheng Yan thought coldly to the rhetoric, he didn't want these rags dug out of his brain at all.What he wanted was the part of him that was no longer in his mind.
Where did they go?
He heard Li Dongxing ask: "Brother, why do you want to study neuroscience?"
Cheng Yan twitched the corner of his mouth, and threw back the answer just now.
This scene left an indelible impression on Mu Mu. She also knew that Cheng Yan must have declined the senior sister in private and did not do anything harmful, but she couldn't help but ask Cheng Yan. what does it feel like?
At that time, they were already getting along quite well, and Cheng Yan said two words bluntly: Trouble.
Mu Mu was very surprised, and blurted out, why are you like this.
She really wanted to say, if she didn't like it at first, why bother to pretend to be happy in front of outsiders.
Cheng Yan didn't understand what she meant, but gave her a strange look, and said, if I knew that my senior sister liked it, I would give you the chocolate, so as not to waste it.
From then on, the way Mu Mu looked at Cheng Yan changed.
After a while, Cheng Yan found that Mu Mu was always trying to make him angry, and he thought it was quite interesting, so he just cooperated and behaved worse and worse in front of her.Anyway, saying a few harsh words is not much more difficult than holding Mr. Hao Hao's face.
The more Cheng Yan was willing to bicker with her, the happier Mu Mu seemed to be, as if in her heart, a "true villain" Cheng Yan was far more likable than a "hypocrite" Cheng Yan.
After going back and forth, Cheng Yan would no longer hold it like that in front of Mu Mu.
But in front of the senior brother he just met, he still wants to behave like a polite and good senior brother.
When it was lunch break, Cheng Yan heard no movement in the outside office, so he took the cup of coffee out.He ate something casually in the school cafeteria, went to several departments in the afternoon to complete the entry procedures, bought a new phone card, and bought two bottles of green tea at the nearby supermarket when he returned to Xiaohonglou.
In the evening, there was no one in the building, and Mu Mu told him that he had to leave first. When Cheng Yan returned to the office, only Li Dongxing was still there, holding a book in his hand.
"I haven't left yet." Cheng Yan greeted casually, and threw away the extra green tea he bought.
He didn't expect Li Dongxing to be there, but it was just right if he was.
Li Dongxing took the green tea, was a little surprised, and said, "Thank you, brother."
Cheng Yan smiled: "Reciprocity is a courtesy."
He said that he habitually lowered his head to touch the phone, looked at it twice and frowned slightly.
Li Dongxing glanced at him: "The wireless password was changed last year." He tore off a piece of paper from his notebook, wrote hastily, and handed it over.
The handwriting is like a person, neat and elegant, much better than Cheng Yan himself.
"Thank you." Cheng Yan walked a few steps, then remembered to ask, "What's your phone number?"
Li Dongxing was stunned, and reported the number of strings.
Cheng Yan took out his mobile phone and dialed it: "I'll try the signal."
Just now the carrier asked him to try it, but he couldn't find a domestic number that he remembered.
Hearing the default Nokia ringtone, Cheng Yan thanked him, went back to his office, thought about it, and saved the number.
He packed his suitcase and prepared to go back early. He passed by the big office outside and took a look. Li Dongxing was still sitting in the same place, but the book in his hand was changed.
Really hardworking.Cheng Yan raised his eyebrows and went downstairs without saying hello.
Cheng Yan's family lived in the community opposite the school, and many teaching staff of Jiangcheng University lived near here, and Xu Mowen was no exception.The house that Cheng Yan lived in was bought by his parents when he returned to China alone, thinking that it would be closer to Xu Mowen's house so that it would be convenient for him to take care of him in the future.More than ten years later, the new building has become an old building, and many people come and go. Xu Mowen has never moved, and Cheng Yan has no interest in moving. The idea of renting out the house.
His family lived on the third floor, and the neighbor next door had already changed into a new face, and he was a little curious to see him open the door.
No one lived there for five years, and when he opened the door, Cheng Yan felt ashamed.When he entered the house, the first thing he did was to open the windows to ventilate the air, and he went downstairs for half an hour before returning.
There are two bedrooms and one living room in this house, all the furnishings are the same as when he left, but it seems that time has been blocked from the door.
Cheng Yan spent four hours carefully cleaning his room and a corner of the living room three times, packed his suitcases, and it was already midnight.
Jiangcheng is rainy in summer, and there will be faint thunder. Cheng Yan closes the windows, lays down on the bed, closes his eyes and listens to the sound of wind and rain. It's no different from the one in the hotel.
The jet lag caused Cheng Yan to wake up just after five o'clock.He didn't have the habit of staying in bed, and he had nothing to do left and right, so he was ready to go to the office after washing up.
It was just around six o'clock when we got to the small red building, and the consultation room didn't start to receive patients until 09:30, and there was no one on the first and second floors.The lights on the third floor were also off. Cheng Yanshua opened the door and walked into the big office. After walking a few steps, he heard some movement nearby.
He followed the sound and looked over, and saw a dark shadow nestled on the sofa, and immediately felt vigilant.At the beginning of school, it is inevitable that fish and dragons are a bit chaotic in the school. Could it be that some thieves are stupid enough to break in here?
He moved to the wall, ready to jump over to catch someone, and quickly turned on the light.
As soon as the light came on, Cheng Yan saw the person on the sofa clearly, and was stunned: "It's you?"
The person on the opposite side jumped up and was surprised when he saw Cheng Yan, and called out "Senior Brother" anxiously.
Cheng Yan glanced at the blanket on the sofa, and after he understood it, he asked, "You didn't go home at night?"
Li Dongxing nodded.
Cheng Yan: "There is no project to stay up late recently, right?"
Li Dongxing nodded again.
Cheng Yan: "Then why do you sleep in the office?"
Li Dongxing was silent for a while, then whispered, "I'm sorry."
Cheng Yan choked.He didn't say anything yet, and his facial expression was theoretically pleasant enough, why did he look like he just yelled at someone?
He sat down on the other side of the sofa, shared the buns he had just bought with Li Dongxing, and asked calmly, "Do you want to eat?"
Li Dongxing took it silently, and after saying thank you, he lowered his head and gnawed on the bun.
Cheng Yan took a breather again: "Where do you live?"
He remembered that the school would not arrange a dormitory for research assistants, and wondered if Li Dongxing thought that he lived too far away, and it took time to travel to and from school.
Li Dongxing didn't answer for a while.
Cheng Yan thought of a possibility, and asked in surprise, "You don't have a place to live, do you?"
Li Dongxing: "Yes."
Cheng Yan was shocked: "Then where do you live during the summer vacation?"
Could it be that they all sleep on the sofa in the office?
Li Dongxing seemed to understand what he was thinking, and quickly explained: "I rented a house before, and it was just yesterday... something happened. It's not convenient to cause trouble for the landlord, so I had to go back to the office first."
Cheng Yan frowned: "You were evicted by the landlord in the middle of the night yesterday?"
Li Dongxing lowered his head and said, "...I decided to leave myself."
Judging by his appearance, he might have been drenched in the rain at night.
Cheng Yan got up and poured a cup of hot water for Li Dongxing, and said, "Don't you have my mobile phone number? If you have any troubles in the future, you can ask your brothers and sisters to help solve it."
Li Dongxing held his cup and looked up, obviously moved, and said "OK" in a hoarse voice.
Cheng Yan sighed: "But you can't live here. Even if it's the third-floor office, there will be other teachers and even patients coming and going. The outer wall of the big office is glass, and it's not always easy to see you sleeping on the sofa." suitable."
The guilt on Li Dongxing's face rose again, he nodded again and again, and immediately wanted to stand up: "Well, I'll find another place right away..."
Cheng Yan suddenly said, "Forget it. Why don't you come over and live with me?"
Li Dongxing opened his eyes wide and didn't react for a while.
Cheng Yan smiled and said, "I live across from the school, and I have a vacant room at home." After a while, he added, "I'll talk about the rent later, just don't think the place is too old."
Li Dongxing stared blankly at Cheng Yan, his long eyelashes trembling, and said in a low voice, "Brother, you are really a good person."
☆、Four personalities ([-])
In Cheng Yan's life, the most indispensable thing is a good person card.
But this card came a bit too suddenly, and it knocked him awake with a bang.
He couldn't help but reflect on whether he pretended to be an enthusiastic senior brother too much, and was actually planning to bring home someone he had just met for a day as a roommate.After all, Cheng Yan never lived on campus, and for him, living with someone else was the first time in history.
However, the words were out of his mouth, Li Dongxing looked at him with eyes full of emotion now, he couldn't go back on what he said, and let the other party sleep in the office or on the street.In Xu Mowen's absence, if others saw Li Dongxing sleeping on the sofa, he and Mu Mu would lose face.Anyway, thinking about it, he didn't have any particularly shady habits, and Li Dongxing looked like an easy-going person. Living under the same roof was probably not much different from staying in the same office, so there wouldn't be any troubles.
So this was settled.
Li Dongxing went back to his original residence and moved all his belongings. Cheng Yan saw that there were even fewer things than his own. There was only one set of bedding and few clothes in total.Just like Li Dongxing, it's more like borrowing a sofa from Cheng Yan's house than moving house.
When they arrived at Cheng Yan's house, Li Dongxing really stood in front of the sofa and did not leave.
Cheng Yan: "Your room is over there."
Li Dongxing stared at the sofa: "This place is big enough."
Cheng Yan was very speechless, and smiled and said, "Could it be possible that you are still addicted to sleeping on the sofa? Go to bed honestly, I still want to sit on the sofa."
Li Dongxing had no choice but to carry the quilt into the empty bedroom, walked around in circles, and stood back in front of Cheng Yan.
He made up his mind and said, "Brother, I will give you the rent."
Cheng Yan stared at the computer without looking up: "Understood, wait until you have money."
Li Dongxing finally breathed a sigh of relief, and didn't insist on sleeping on the sofa anymore.
Cheng Yan remembered, found a few clean rags, and said to Li Dongxing, "You haven't slept much in your room, wipe it off."
Li Dongxing hugged the dishcloth like he was holding a baby, and looked at Cheng Yan gratefully.
Cheng Yan's heart skipped a beat when he was seen. This kid looks cold, but his eyes are too big, black and white are clear and watery. Every time he stares at someone like this, it's as if there are ten thousand sentences hidden in his deep affection.He wasn't very kind at first, how could he bear this kind of gratitude, he just felt his scalp go numb, and hurriedly waved people back to the house.
Li Dongxing is indeed a good roommate, reflected in the fact that he rarely disturbs Cheng Yan.After school started, Cheng Yan also got busy. Although he didn't need to teach students, his scientific research tasks were not light. He collected all the experiments and often stayed in the laboratory at ten o'clock in the evening.When he came out of the biology building and returned to his office in Xiaohonglou, Li Dongxing was usually still there, returning home later than him.At the end of the day, the two didn't have many chances to meet each other.Even when they were together at home, Li Dongxing was still very quiet, often making Cheng Yan feel that there was no one more person in the room at all.
The peaceful days continued until the weekend of the first week.
Cheng Yan was very busy for several days this week.This time he returned to China, he changed his direction and planned to try some new technologies to continue his previous projects.All the work he did during his doctoral period was related to memory, most of which were electrophysiological experiments on rats and monkeys. The new monkeys he bought hadn’t arrived yet, and he couldn’t just sit around, so Wang Yongchun asked him if he would like to try neuroimaging. I can cooperate with several other teachers in the department who are doing functional research on the human brain.
Cheng Yan was already thinking about this matter, so he naturally agreed.
Hearing about this, Mu Mu said: "Hey, Chengda scientist, don't you torture monkeys anymore?"
Cheng Yan: "Being a monkey is too troublesome."
Mu Mu laughed: "Well, figured it out? Yes, yes, it's better to be a human being."
While chatting with her, Cheng Yan picked up the candy box from Mu Mu's table and held it to her hand: "Eat more."
After eating a few, Mu Mu realized in surprise, "You treat me like a monkey?"
Cheng Yan: "No, I just saw a study showing that excessive sugar intake affects memory. Do you remember where you put your key card?"
Mu Mu touched his pocket: "Oops, it's really gone."
Cheng Yan nodded solemnly: "It seems to be true. Look, studying you is much less labor-intensive than studying monkeys."
At this time Li Dongxing just walked in from the outside: "Senior sister, why did you drop your key card?"
"Cheng! Yan!" Mu Mu was furious, "You didn't remind me when I saw you, why didn't you study it for me, anti-social pervert!"
Li Dongxing didn't know the cause and effect, so he couldn't understand it: "Senior sister, how can you call Cheng Yan a pervert, what a nice person he is."
Mu Mulian glared at him too: "Okay, I turned my elbow out in a few days, it's really a senior who doesn't want to stay!"
Li Dongxing, who stood passively in line, was confused and looked at Cheng Yan as if asking for help.
Cheng Yan laughed, stood up and patted him on the shoulder, feeling better for some reason.
Now that there is a new project, there are more things to do, and he went to the laboratory as usual on Saturday.When he returned to the office at noon, Cheng Yan found that the mental health center was much more empty than the biology building. Except for the teachers and nurses on duty, there were no students there.This was the first time since he started school that he didn't see Li Dongxing in the office.
He originally thought that Li Dongxing was out on business, but when he returned home at ten o'clock, he realized that he was wrong.
Li Dongxing stayed at home all day, cleaning the inside and outside of the places he hadn't touched.
Now this room can be called bright and clean.The floor had obviously been carefully mopped, the gray tiles on the wall were brightened, and there was a cushion on the sofa that he hadn't seen before.
However, this is not the point.
Cheng Yan stared at the mahogany bookcase in the corner of the living room for a long time.It was originally full of books and sundries in a mess, but now it has been sorted out without exception, and the layers are stacked neatly.
He rushed forward, touched the shiny cabinet, and asked, "Where are the things that were originally placed on top of the cabinet?"
His voice was not loud, but he seemed rather gloomy.This is almost impossible for Cheng Yan in normal times.
Li Dongxing also noticed his strangeness, and hurried over, opened the cabinet door and said, "It's all stored below."
Cheng Yan bent down, not even noticing that his shoulder almost bumped into Li Dongxing's arm.
His hands trembled a little, until he took out all the things lying in the cabinet and confirmed that they were still there one by one, his heart seemed to settle down.
The first was a train, then some Ultramans and Transformers, and finally a model helicopter with a broken propeller.
It looks about the same as before, nothing has changed, except that there is a lot less dust.
He quietly put the toys back on the top of the cabinet as they were.
Li Dongxing said in a daze beside him: "It turns out that there are still a few newspapers covering them, and I haven't thrown them away yet..."
Cheng Yan waved his hand weakly: "Forget it."
He sat back on the sofa, buried his face in his palms, as if intending to remember the smell of dust from his fingertips, and did not speak for a while.
Li Dongxing moved over, stood aside and said softly, "Are you all right?"
Cheng Yan felt that there was a fire in his head that was getting higher and higher, and he had no choice but to suppress it, so he said coldly, "Remember not to mess with other people's things in the future."
Li Dongxing has never seen him like this before. On weekdays, Li Chengyan is very kind most of the time. Although he is not very warm, he is very caring, and he feels very similar to Xu Mowen; or occasionally when talking and laughing with Mu Mu, The smile on Cheng Yan's face may contain a bit of sarcasm, but it is rarely revealing.But now Cheng Yan was sitting there, his lips tightly pressed together, without saying a word, his whole body was like an active volcano whose ice shell had been pierced, if it wasn't for the lens blocking it, the staring eyes would almost Splash sparks.
And the person who made a hole in the ice was Li Dongxing.
It was as if what he had just removed was not a layer of old newspapers, but a layer of flesh from Cheng Yan's heart.
He moved a step slightly, got closer to Cheng Yan, and said, "I'm sorry."
Cheng Yan glanced at him, and was not surprised to see that young daughter-in-law's grievance after being yelled at for doing something wrong. the one?After thinking about it, why is he not a bully?He cleaned the house for him out of good intentions, and when he brought him home, he didn't make an agreement with him, so why would he just talk to himself and lose his temper.
You must know that the dust has accumulated for more than five years, and it is not easy to clean it.
The more Cheng Yan remained silent, the more nervous Li Dongxing became. His cheeks were sweating a little, but he raised his sleeve and wiped it several times before he knew it. The sleeve was not clean at all. With this wipe, gray marks appeared on his otherwise fair face. , coupled with those big watery eyes, now she looks more than just a little daughter-in-law, she looks like Cinderella who has taken heightening drugs.
... Cheng Yan is not interested in being a stepmother yet.
Under Li Dongxing's pitiful gaze, the fire in Cheng Yan's head that was growing bigger and bigger was extinguished with a snap, and he calmed down: "It's okay, it's not your problem. I'm tired of cleaning the house for me." , and this cushion is very comfortable, thank you."
After speaking, he got up and went back to his room.
Cheng Yan didn't sleep well that night. Toy train transformers and propellers came and went before his eyes. He woke up suddenly in the middle of the night, his head hurt like he had been run over by a train, and he almost ran out to throw up.
He fumbled to turn on the light in the room, intending to go to the kitchen to get a glass of water, but he didn't expect to hear a strange sound coming from the sofa as soon as he entered the living room.
The voice was very soft and intermittent, like a child crying, but not so shrill.
Cheng Yan was agitated by his own thoughts and trembled. Even an atheist like him was frightened by the crying in the middle of the night.
He took a deep breath, prepared to see anything, and approached the sofa.
The curtains in the living room were not fully drawn, and with the moonlight that was scattered on the ground, I could barely see.
There was a shadow curled up on the floor under the sofa, and the whimpering sound came from that shadow's mouth.
Cheng Yan: "Why is it you again?!"
It was his roommate lying on the ground, with long arms and legs huddled together, and the cushion he just bought for Cheng Yan was still tightly wrapped in his arms.
Seeing Cheng Yan approaching, Li Dongxing didn't raise his head, but curled up even tighter at the foot of the sofa, as if desperately trying to squeeze himself into a ball.
Cheng Yan thought he wasn't awake yet, but upon closer inspection, the guy's eyes were obviously open, and there were two lines of tears hanging on his cheeks, even his nose was red from crying, and the tears and snot covered the cushion in his arms.
"Could it be sleepwalking?" Cheng Yan had never seen a grown man cry so sadly. Cheng Yan was stunned, and bent over to touch Li Dongxing's shoulder, not knowing what to do with him.
Unexpectedly, when he was touched by his hand, Li Dongxing cried even harder. While crying, he whispered, "Don't...don't drive me away...I'm very obedient, very obedient, very obedient..."
Cheng Yan was a little embarrassed, wondering if it was because he said too much just now, which made Li Dongxing worry so much?He hesitated for a while, and then apologized: "I'm sorry, I lost my composure just now. Those things...are very important to me, and no one has touched them for 15 years. But don't worry, I told you to live in the house." Well, I'm sure I won't go back on my word because of such a trivial matter. How can I be so narrow-minded?"
Li Dongxing raised his head and glanced at him carefully: "Really?"
Cheng Yan said helplessly, "Of course it's true."
Li Dongxing stretched out a hand: "Pull the hook."
Cheng Yan: "...what?"
Li Dongxing blinked, and then showed a weeping expression again.
It's over, don't cry anymore.Cheng Yan's heart froze, and he also stretched out his little finger, hooking Li Dongxing's hand.
The two big men were playing hook games under the moonlight in the middle of the night. If Mu Mu knew about it, he would laugh his contact lenses to the ground.
The thing that broke him down even more was yet to come. After pulling the hook, Li Dongxing was still not satisfied, so he grabbed his hand, pulled him so that he couldn't stand still, and had to sit down on the floor.
Li Dongxing finally stopped hugging the cushion.He found Cheng Yan.
Cheng Yan was suddenly hugged around the waist, and couldn't stand up even if he wanted to, so he could only sit obediently beside Li Dongxing.
Li Dongxing still felt that it wasn't enough, leaned his head over, rubbed his shoulder, and said in a crying voice, "I'm afraid."
Cheng Yan's eyes almost popped out.What's going on here, a grown man a little taller than him is acting like a spoiled child to him?
He gritted his teeth, stiffly raised the arm that was not held, and patted the head on the shoulder: "Don't be afraid, I really won't drive you away."
Li Dongxing pursed his lips: "I'm afraid of the dark."
Cheng Yan held back for a while, then went all out and said, "I'll accompany you."
Anyway, he has to accompany him if he doesn't want to, don't look at this guy suddenly becoming a sticky cotton candy, just look at the strength of his hands, he is sticky at the level of [-].
Li Dongxing leaned against him, still sobbing at first, then his breathing finally calmed down.
Cheng Yan thought that this guy had finally fallen asleep, so he breathed a sigh of relief.
As a result, as soon as he moved, Li Dongxing entangled him again, murmuring in a half-dream and half-awake state: "...you are so kind."
Cheng Yan wanted to cry but had no tears: "I see, thank you, there is no need to send the card a second time."
Let him go to bed, will you?He has been so stimulated that he can't even care about the pain of his head.
Never expected that Li Dongxing would say something even more terrifying: "I like you so much."
Cheng Yan's eyes darkened.
He thought, Li Dongxing did not sleepwalk.It must be him who is sleepwalking.
☆、Four personalities ([-])
The next morning, Cheng Yan woke up on the sofa.
He was covered with a dark blue blanket, a style he had never seen before, and it should have been brought by Li Dongxing.There was still a soft pillow under his head, he got up and looked, it was not the cushion that made the most of the contribution.
Thinking of how the cushion was treated last night, Cheng Yan felt a numbness in the back of his neck, and decided to throw this thing to the dry cleaner in a while.
He was apparently alone in the house.Cheng Yan rubbed his neck and thought about it, this is good, otherwise he would not be sure what to say to Li Dongxing.Do you want to say, hey, although I was the one who said something serious yesterday, it’s better not to let things like hugging people as pillows in the middle of the night don’t happen again, okay?
What if Li Dongxing felt even more wronged after he finished talking and started crying?
Cheng Yan was so frightened by this possibility that he shuddered.
On Sunday, he originally had an appointment with another associate professor of the biology department. He went to the school to talk for half an hour, but Cheng Yan was not in the mood, and he misrepresented the results of several experiments he had done several times.
"Mr. Cheng, is the jet lag still up?" The other party was a female teacher in her thirties, who saw some clues, and smiled kindly at Cheng Yan.
"No, it's a personal matter." Cheng Yan rubbed his temples, his face full of apology, "I'm really sorry, Mr. Qian, I asked you out on the big weekend, but I'm not ready."
We are all colleagues, so we won't embarrass each other. Hearing what Cheng Yan said, he understood, and made another appointment with Cheng Yan.Cheng Yan treated the teacher to an afternoon tea, and the two casually chatted about a few things that had nothing to do with work, and then talked happily about each other.
After seeing off Teacher Qian, Cheng Yan's cell phone rang.
Cheng Yan answered, "Hi, hello."
There was a pause over there, and he yelled at him for a while: "You didn't talk to me after getting a phone card?"
Cheng Yan held the phone away from his ear, and waited for the rant to finish before taking it back: "It was Li Dongxing who gave you my phone number?"
Mu Mu: "...you gave him your phone number alone? I said when did your relationship become so..."
Cheng Yan: "I live with him now."
Mu Mu hung up the phone in fright.
Two minutes later, she rushed into the cafe and sat down opposite Cheng Yan.
"I originally wanted to gossip about you asking girls out for coffee on weekends." She said quietly, "I didn't expect you to tell a more important one."
Cheng Yan lowered his head and took a sip of tea: "He has no place to live, and I happen to have a vacant room, so I'm just doing my junior a favor."
Mu Mu's eyes widened: "We have known each other for almost ten years, and you have never invited me into your house once! Now you tell me, you picked up the stranger you just met for a few days to be your roommate? Cheng Yan, do you still know that anti-social young man? Didn’t he give someone a soul?”
Cheng Yan frowned.Speaking of soul piercing, he still felt that another person was pierced by soul last night.
When he thought of Li Dongxing, his mind was filled with the image of that guy curled up at the foot of the sofa with tears in his eyes.This matter lingered in his mind, causing him to ruin even a planned work meeting.
"You... Are you familiar with this junior brother?" He had to ask Mu Mu tentatively.
"You said winter travel?" Mu Mu beckoned for a chocolate ice cream, thought for a long time there, and said vaguely, "It's okay."
Cheng Yan: "His...how is his personality?"
Mu Mu looked at him suspiciously: "Why, are you serious about blind dates?"
Cheng Yan: "Learn about it casually."
Mu Mu thought for a while and said, "The kid is quite quiet, but he doesn't like to talk much. He is very kind, especially gentle and caring. Everyone likes him."
Cheng Yan: "No more?"
Mu Mu: "Didn't you live with him? You can't see how he is?"
I saw it, but I just couldn't believe it.
Cheng Yan thought about it for a while, but still felt that he couldn't tell Mu Mu what happened last night, so he had to insinuate: "Is he a little... insecure?"
The doubts in Mu Mu's eyes grew deeper and deeper: "Hey Cheng Yan, you're a little weird today. Didn't you reject our psychoanalysis before?"
Cheng Yan was noncommittal, seeing that the ice cream in Mu Mu's hand was almost finished, he ordered another one for her.
Mu Mu's filial piety to him was very useful, and while digging for ice cream, he continued the conversation: "Dong Xing is actually quite introverted. Although he is very good to everyone, I haven't seen him have any particularly good friends. Also, I heard from the boss that his parents should have been gone for a long time, and the family situation seems to be not good. Actually, it is not appropriate for me to tell you these things. Cheng Yan, if you really want to know Li Dongxing, you should ask he."
Cheng Yan nodded: "I will."
Mu Mu suddenly raised his head and stopped him: "Cheng Yan. In fact, I am both surprised and happy that you are willing to get close to Dong Xing. I am not only for him, but also for you. Look at when you have treated anyone over the years. Or take care of things. If multiple roommates can make you more human, I have to thank Dongxing."
It was rare for Mu Mu to be so sincere. Cheng Yan was taken aback for a moment, and didn't subconsciously retort that he was inhumane. He just frowned slightly, and then quickly let go.
He handed Mu Mu a tissue, and pointed to the empty ice cream bowl: "Do you still want to eat?"
Mu Mu: "You think I'm a pig!"
Cheng Yan: "I treat you."
Mu Mu: "... come."
Coming out of the cafe, Cheng Yan wandered around the school doing nothing, and finally turned to the supermarket.
From Mu Mu's tone, Li Dongxing seemed to be a practical and capable young man, and he was completely different from the guy who was holding him and crying loudly last night.There are only two possibilities, either he had such a headache last night that he really had hallucinations, or he really said something wrong.
Mu Mu didn't go into details, but Cheng Yan could also imagine what kind of life a child whose parents died early would live.If he either went to an orphanage or was adopted by relatives, Li Dongxing was probably used to living under the fence when he was a child, and maybe he was often threatened by his elders to kick him out of the house if he did something wrong.
That's why when he saw Cheng Yan get angry yesterday, Li Dongxing was so trembling, fearing that Cheng Yan would let him move away, even to the point of breaking down and crying.
Although this explanation was a bit unbelievable, Cheng Yan still thought about it seriously, and felt that the fault was all his own.
Just passing by the restaurant outside the school, Cheng Yan called Li Dongxing.
It took a while for the call to be connected. Li Dongxing heard that the environment was a bit noisy, but the voice was as usual: "Senior brother, what's the matter?"
Cheng Yan was rather embarrassed, cleared his throat, and asked, "Do you want to have dinner together tonight?"
Li Dongxing hesitated, and said, "I'm going back very late..."
Cheng Yan: "I'll buy takeaway, I'll wait for you to come with me."
Li Dongxing seemed to ask the person next to him, and then replied: "Okay brother, I will definitely be back before nine o'clock."
It was 55:[-] when he got home.
Cheng Yan took a lot of effort to clear out two sets of utensils from the kitchen, but he still couldn't restore the stove that hadn't been turned on for five years, so the two could only sit facing each other, eating a pile of cold fried vegetables.
In order to come back before nine o'clock, Li Dongxing probably left in a hurry, with beads of sweat hanging on his forehead.He came back in such a hurry and ate cold dishes, but he didn't mean to complain at all. He sat quietly at the table with his rice bowl in his hand, chewing slowly, eating in a very elegant manner.
Cheng Yan looked left and right, but he still couldn't connect the handsome young man in front of him with the man who cried so much his nose and tears last night.
He struggled for a while and said, "Don't take what I said yesterday to your heart."
Li Dongxing raised his head, swallowed all the food in his mouth first, and then said, "Brother, what do you mean?"
Cheng Yan was not sure about his attitude, so he could only say the line he had thought up: "Since you live here, treat this as a home. I'm used to living alone, and this home doesn't really feel like home. If you Yes, if you want to tidy up, it’s fine.”
He had been brewing this passage for quite a while, and he almost squeezed out all the warmth that was not born in his chest, for fear that he might not be able to express it properly, making Li Dongxing think that he was not sincerely welcoming.
Li Dongxing put down the bowls and chopsticks, thought about it seriously, and said, as if suddenly realizing it, "Okay, I'll buy a few more bowls another day."
Cheng Yan looked at the missing bowl in front of him, and thought with some embarrassment, that's not what he meant.
His junior is not only unpredictable in character, but he is also very powerful in his understanding and kung fu.
The meal was quite harmonious, Li Dongxing didn't intend to mention what happened last night, so Cheng Yan didn't mention it again.He thought, as an adult man, Li Dongxing would definitely not like someone seeing him crying, let alone mentioning it repeatedly.
No matter how you look at it last night, it was just an unpleasant accident, and they might as well forget it tacitly.
The two naturally chatted about research, and Cheng Yan asked casually, "Why did you choose psychiatry?"
Li Dongxing thought for a while, and replied: "The teacher said that studying psychiatry can help us better understand human beings and ourselves."
This answer is quite satisfactory enough to be used in the admission interview.
Cheng Yan said: "Human consciousness is something that can't be clearly seen or touched. How can it be so easy for people to understand it because of a few sets of theories."
Xu Mowen's main direction is consultation, but he has never paid much attention to psychoanalysis. Those things are too empty, like catkins floating in the wind, and he can't catch them at all.
Cheng Yan had seen many psychiatrists before.At first he was forced by his parents, but later he was taken by Xu Mowen. What those people said to him sounded different, but in Cheng Yan's heart, there was no difference.
It was as if someone was trying to chisel and chisel in his brain with a small hammer, but any small chips that were chiseled out were like digging treasures.
Cheng Yan thought coldly to the rhetoric, he didn't want these rags dug out of his brain at all.What he wanted was the part of him that was no longer in his mind.
Where did they go?
He heard Li Dongxing ask: "Brother, why do you want to study neuroscience?"
Cheng Yan twitched the corner of his mouth, and threw back the answer just now.
