if you catch me

Zhang picked up Tan Zhou from the bed, and found that he was clutching his stomach, and his heart ached, "Tan Zhou, Tan Zhou...go to the hospital."

Tan Zhou is very thin and doesn't weigh much in his hands.

Qi Chengliu felt very distressed.

He took the coat and put it on Tan Zhou. He carried Tan Zhou out of the clothing factory and came to his car. He was about to carry Tan Zhou to the passenger seat. When he remembered something, he asked Tan Zhou softly: " Wouldn't it be more comfortable to lie down?"

Tan Zhou nodded.

Qi Chengliu carefully put Tan Zhou on the back seat, covered him with his coat, then sat in the driver's seat, and drove towards the hospital steadily and quickly.

It wasn't until the doctor finished prescribing the medicine and seeing Tan Zhou take the medicine obediently that Qi Chengliu's nervous heart eased a little.

Tan Zhou was caused by stomach cramps, fasting and hard work.

Qi Chengliu handed the hot towel to Tan Zhou and asked him to cover his stomach.

There was no expression on Tan Zhou's face, he just lay quietly on the hospital bed.Qi Chengliu felt his mouth was dry, subconsciously licked his dry lips, and said with great difficulty: "...why...don't you eat?"

Tan Zhou lowered his eyes and remained silent.

"...Is there no money?" Qi Chengliu asked again.

Tan Zhou nodded, "Yes."

Qi Chengliu licked his lower lip again, hesitated for a long time, and said slowly: "Do you want my money?"

Tan Zhou looked at him.

Qi Chengliu was flustered by him, changed his words instantly, and explained in a panic, "I mean, I can provide you with meals..." After a pause, his voice dropped several degrees, "Don't be hungry anymore."

...It really hurts, especially.

Tan Zhou felt that his stomach was a little hot from the hot towel, and he felt better. He took out the towel, and Qi Chengliu quickly took it over when he saw it, and asked, "Is it not hot anymore?"

"No." Tan Zhou said, "Just return the instant noodles to me."

Qi Chengliu shook his head: "Except for this, everything else is up to you. Instant noodles are really bad for your health, not to mention your stomach..."

Tan Zhou interrupted him: "Everything else is up to me?"

Qi Chengliu nodded, suddenly realized something, and added, "There is nothing but telling me to go."

"Oh."

Tan Zhou had to go back after resting in the hospital for a while. He had to go to work.

Qi Chengliu looked at him anxiously for a few times, hesitant to speak, fearing that crossing the line would cause Tan Zhou to be farther away from him, but he had to say it, so after some deliberation, he turned a corner to persuade him not to go Going to work: "You haven't eaten lunch yet, why don't you eat first?"

Tan Zhou stared out of the car window, moved his lips, and said, "Okay."

Qi Chengliu didn't have much talent for cooking, and he thought this knowledge was too simple, so he started it happily and without pressure. He planned to cook a pot of light millet porridge for Tan Zhou, and stewed ribs soup, which was simple and nutritious.

But there was less water, the millet porridge was boiled into rice, the pork ribs had too much salt, and they didn't know how to heat them. In short... a waste of time and ingredients.

Qi Chengliu scratched his head in distress, completely devoid of confidence and extremely frustrated.He looked back at Tan Zhou who was lying on the bed, hesitated for a while, and asked, "Can you cook?"

Before Tan Zhou could answer, he murmured to himself again: "Forget it, you have a good rest...let's order takeaway."

Qi Chengliu asked Tan Zhou: "Is there anything you want to eat?"

Tan Zhou glanced at the alarm clock on the table, got out of bed to serve the meal, and said, "I'll just eat this."

"Hey, it tastes terrible!" Qi Chengliu stopped him and grabbed his bowl.

Tan Zhou lowered his eyes to hide the disgust deep in his eyes, "I'm going to get off work later."

Tan Zhou only ate a little ribs, and the rest was eating white rice. He put down the bowl and hurried to work after not eating a few bites.

Qi Chengliu stared at the empty bowl on the table, and then heaved a long sigh.

He went to work very casually. Once he had something to do, he didn't go if he didn't go. He skipped work without asking for leave, and he wasn't afraid of being scolded.

Qi Chengliu went to the factory to buy a lot of ingredients, but he wasted a lot on cooking.

After working for several hours, when it was time for dinner, Qi Chengliu sighed and got up to order takeaway.

When Tan Zhou returned to the dormitory after eating, he saw a mess. The pots and dishes were left unwashed, and there was burnt beef in the pot.

Tan Zhou walked over and poured out the beef.

Qi Chengliu was resting his eyes with his eyes closed, and when he heard the movement, he opened his eyes and saw Tan Zhou's back. Without even thinking about it, he called him reflexively, "Where are you going?"

Tan Zhou said without turning his head, "Wash the pot."

Qi Chengliu looked at the induction cooker over there, and Tan Zhou took the pot away.

Qi Chengliu's mood was not clear, but the corners of his mouth raised uncontrollably, he wanted to laugh but didn't know why he wanted to laugh.

Tan Zhou came back after washing the pot, looked at the ingredients in the newly bought kitchen cabinet, and asked, "Have you eaten?"

It was more like he was speaking to himself, but Qi Chengliu didn't hear clearly, "Huh?"

"Have you eaten yet?" Tan Zhou repeated, still not looking back at him.

"No, no!" The ecstasy in Qi Chengliu's heart beat like a sea wave. He sat upright, paused for a second, then quickly got out of bed, and in two or three steps, he arrived behind Tan Zhou and walked away from him. At a distance of two feet, he added another sentence, "I haven't eaten yet."

"Oh."

Oh?

Qi Chengliu was stunned, the waves of ecstasy receded, did he think too much?

Tan Zhou bent down slightly to get the ingredients, looked at them carefully for a while, and picked out tomatoes, eggs, and potatoes.He took the potato and looked back at Qi Chengliu, then looked away, and asked, "Can you peel potatoes?"

Wave after wave hit Qi Chengliu so hard that he couldn't find the north, he responded loudly: "Yes!" If not, he also said yes!

Tan Zhou was a little frightened by him, and then put the potatoes on the table where the induction cooker was placed, "You peel it."

Qi Chengliu happily picked up the potatoes, and found a kitchen knife to peel the potatoes one by one.

Tan Zhou took two tomatoes and put them in the vegetable sink. As soon as he turned around, he was startled by Qi Chengliu's movement. He quickly stopped him, "Don't... there is a knife here."

Tan Zhou took his own knife, put it on the table again, and started beating eggs, washing rice and cooking.

After Qi Chengliu finally finished peeling the potatoes, he handed the horribly peeled potatoes to Tan Zhou.Tan Zhou looked at the potatoes for a few seconds. He was a little speechless, but he didn't say anything. He put the potatoes into the sink and washed them together in the sink.

These two dishes were very simple, and they were cooked in a short while, and it didn't take Tan Zhou long.

Qi Chengliu carefully brought the dishes to the table, and looked at the two dishes that Tan Zhou cooked for him for the first time with great reverence - scrambled eggs with tomatoes, hot and sour potato shreds.He stopped Tan Zhou, who was going to work early, and said lightly, "Do you want to eat more?"

Tan Zhou said, "No need."

When I went out, I met a stranger carrying a few lunch boxes. The man saw that Tan Zhou came out of this house, so he smiled and handed the takeaway box to Tan Zhou, "Is it Mr. Qi? Your takeaway!"

Tan Zhou glanced at the heavy takeaway box in his hand, a little at a loss.

Hearing this voice, Qi Chengliu thought to himself, and hurried out to hand the money to the delivery guy, and said eagerly, "No need to look for it, thank you, let's go!"

Tan Zhou came back to his senses, handed the takeaway to Qi Chengliu without saying a word, and said, "I'm going to work."

"Tan Zhou!" Qi Chengliu called to him in a panic, hesitant to speak, and supported his forehead in frustration, "I didn't know you would cook for me, and you ordered takeaway before you came back."

Tan Zhou paused, without looking back, his eyes fell somewhere in the distance, "Oh, I'm fine."

Qi Chengliu couldn't figure out what Tan Zhou was thinking, this originally happy dinner became tasteless because of the arrival of takeaway.

He rushed to the evening shift and was scolded by the head of the packaging department. Qi Chengliu listened absent-mindedly, and then he couldn't help but go upstairs to see Tan Zhou before he had to wait for long.

The aunt who worked at the door was already familiar with Qi Chengliu, "Young man, are you here again?"

"Yes." Qi Chengliu kept his eyes on Tan Zhou's direction, and then clicked his tongue faintly.

Seeing his appearance, the aunt became interested and asked, "What's the matter? Have you taken a fancy to some girl here and kept running over to peek."

Qi Chengliu withdrew his gaze, leaned against the wall, and responded casually: "I did something wrong, and I'm afraid he'll get angry, so I've been worrying all night."

Auntie is very flexible on the sewing machine, and she can focus on chatting with Qi Chengliu while doing things, "What did you do wrong?"

Qi Chengliu was also worried, he didn't know if Tan Zhou was angry or not, so he went to the doctor in a hurry and changed things, "I made an appointment with my friend before, and then he came to invite me, he It’s the first time to ask me out! I’m so happy, I forgot that I have an appointment, and I agreed to play with him, but my friend came over and asked me to go out to play together, and I happened to be caught by him, and then I hurried After explaining, he didn't show any expression, so he just said, "Oh, it's fine." Auntie, is it true or irony when you say that he's fine?"

"Nonsense." Aunt said with a final word.

Qi Chengliu became even more worried, sighed a long time, and looked at Tan Zhou, who was still working hard.

The aunt remembered something, and said again: "But what the girl said is very similar to Xiao Tan's catchphrase in our factory."

"Fuck?" Qi Chengliu was stunned, and subconsciously uttered a foul language as if he had been electrocuted.

"That's right, Xiao Tan often said that it's good to be fine. Being bullied and being taken advantage of by others is the same sentence, tsk tsk, a good guy, too soft..." Auntie didn't care whether Qi Chengliu knew Tan or not. Zhou, I have a lot of emotions.

"Being bullied? Being taken advantage of?"

"Yes. It all depends on his honesty and easy bullying."

Qi Chengliu narrowed his eyes, seemingly unintentionally, as if he asked casually: "He is often bullied in the factory?"

"Not often, just occasionally."

"Oh." Qi Chengliu was speechless, leaning against the wall quietly, and then looked at Tan Zhou with complicated eyes.

I will not do it again.Qi Chengliu said in his heart.

The aunt smiled, she didn't care too much about being treated coldly, and then asked Qi Chengliu curiously: "Tell Auntie, who is that girl you like?"

Qi Chengliu hurriedly refused, and waved his hands, "Don't, don't say anything, I haven't written a word yet."

When she went downstairs, Qi Chengliu felt mixed feelings in her heart, and became even more depressed——is Tan Zhou's sentence the truth, a lie, or a catchphrase?

Qi Chengliu got off work at eleven o'clock, and was chased and beaten by the team leader.

The team leader was so angry that his beard flew into the air: "Skipping work in the afternoon and leaving get off work so early in the evening, do you not want to make money or what?"

"Earn! Money still needs to be earned." Qi Chengliu chuckled, and said again, "But food also needs to be eaten. Uncle, I'm so hungry, I don't have the strength to do things, why don't I go early It's time to get off work, otherwise I won't be able to do much here, wouldn't I be paid for nothing?"

The salary for packaging is different from that for clothes. He is paid by the hour, at [-] yuan per hour, no matter how much or how little he makes.

The team leader thought about it, and he was right, so he asked Qi Chengliu to leave work early with a straight face.

Qi Chengliu returned to the dormitory, opened the kitchen cabinet as soon as he entered the room, and carefully took out scrambled eggs with tomatoes and shredded hot and sour potatoes. He lost his appetite in the afternoon because of that, and he didn't want to waste the food Tan Zhou made for him. So I kept it and didn't eat it.

He reheated the leftover rice in the afternoon, and mixed it with cold dishes like this, slowly savoring it.

Qi Chengliu sighed while eating - "Why is Tan Zhou so good at cooking", "Why is he so good at everything", "It tastes good even when it's cold"...

A real idiot.

After Qi Chengliu finished the delicious supper, he went to wash the dishes while humming a little tune. When he came back to see that it was still early, he thought about studying cooking skills again, and made a delicious supper for Tan Zhou.

He remembered the egg noodles made by Aunt Zhang.

Qi Chengliu went to the small supermarket around the factory to buy noodles, then searched for the recipe of egg noodles, followed the instructions above step by step, and cooked the noodles carefully and rigorously.

When the fragrance gradually came out, Qi Chengliu finally let go of his heart in his throat, curled the corners of his mouth, put the noodles in a bowl, and took a commemorative photo triumphantly.

Qi Chengliu started to beat eggs again, he wanted to fry an egg and wanted to make it into a heart shape.

After searching for strategies, Qi Chengliu slapped his head and went downstairs to buy sausages at the canteen.

He clumsily wasted a few sausages, and finally made a seven-part heart-shaped shape. Looking at the time, he couldn't be picky anymore, so he just settled for this shape and got busy in a hurry.

……

Finally, the black-hearted eggs are finished.

Qi Chengliu looked at the egg, it was too burnt, eating it would be bad for your health.Qi Chengliu hesitated for a moment, but still offered the egg to the trash can.

Tan Zhou was dragged out by Zou Jiaming for supper after get off work, but Tan Zhou couldn't hold back him, so he had to follow.

It's just that when he arrived at the store, Tan Zhou was taken aback by the sight of several people in the factory sitting there smiling at them.

Zou Jiaming chuckled, moved closer to Tan Zhou, and explained to Tan Zhou in a low voice: "Well, they insist on me pulling you out for a chat."

"What are you talking about?" Tan Zhou stood still with no expression on his face.Although he asked with his mouth, he was like a bright mirror in his heart, talking about Qi Chengliu, right?

"It should be about your roommate." Zou Jiaming scratched his head and sighed, "But I can't beat them, and if I don't agree, they will say I'm careful. Tan Zhou, you know I'm the best..."

Tan Zhou nodded, "I know."

"Hey, when they ask you, just say you don't know." Zou Jiaming felt sorry for Tan Zhou at this moment, so he just brought people here, knowing that people don't like to communicate with others, the more Zou Jiaming thought about it. The more I feel like an asshole, "Anyway, your relationship with that surnamed Qi shouldn't be too bad. I'll say a few words for you later."

Tan Zhou said "hmm" and walked over to that building.

The woman in the seat was wondering what they were muttering about why they didn't come over, but when they saw someone coming over, they quickly smiled enthusiastically and asked Tan Zhou what he wanted to eat, and they treated them.

Tan Zhou ordered pork shredded noodles with mustard greens, five yuan.

Tan Zhou was familiar with these women. He glanced at them, then withdrew his gaze, stared at a certain point on the table, and said, "If you have any questions, please tell me."

A few girls looked at me and I looked at you, so a bold one asked first, "Does Qi Chengliu have a girlfriend?"

Tan Zhou said, "No."

"Then what type does he like?" Another woman asked.

"I don't know." Tan Zhou answered truthfully.

"What's his personality like?"

Tan Zhou thought for a while and said, "I don't know, I can't figure it out."

"You mean he has a weird personality?"

Tan Zhou shook his head, he didn't know what to say, so he didn't say anything at all.

"Huh? Why don't you talk?"

Zou Jiaming laughed at the side: "It's not easy to answer, and the relationship between Tan Zhou and that surnamed Qi is not very good."

The girl sitting in the back suddenly spoke. She stared at Tan Zhou and asked seriously, "How did you and Qi Chengliu know each other, Tan Zhou? How long have you known each other?"

Tan Zhou raised his head, his expression a little stunned.

Zou Jiaming was a little upset when he heard these forced questions, "Why are you asking this?"

The girl shook her head, looking indifferent, "You all said that Tan Zhou and Qi Chengliu have a good relationship, so I asked out of curiosity. What's the matter? Are you still not allowed to ask?"

"What's so curious about this? It doesn't match up with you guys chasing Qi Chengliu." Zou Jiaming's temper also rushed up, and he didn't care about other people's feelings when he spoke.

The girls present here are all ruthless, so they were ashamed when they heard this, and quickly yelled to cover up the shyness in their hearts: "Hey! Zou Jiaming, what did you say, we are just curious..."

When the noodles were served, Tan Zhou ate the noodles silently. He finally wiped his mouth when the arguing became quieter, and said slowly, "I'm full, thank you."

After speaking, he pulled out the chair and walked out of the store.

Zou Jiaming was stunned for a moment, and quickly followed.

The girls scolded from behind.

Tan Zhou was filled with the cold wind when he went out, and it was getting colder and colder. He pulled the zipper to the top, put on the hat on his clothes, put his hands in his pockets, and walked slowly back to the factory with his head down.

Zou Jiaming walked beside him and apologized solemnly: "Tan Zhou, I'm sorry."

"What are you apologizing for?"

Zou Jiaming said: "I know you don't like dealing with people, and you don't like Qi Chengliu, but I chose to bring you in front of a bunch of people and let them ask you about your surname Qi."

Tan Zhou looked at him sideways: "How do you know that I don't like Qi Chengliu?"

"Look at the expression in your eyes, you can actually tell if you like or dislike a person."

Tan Zhou was silent.

But that bastard can't see it.

Seeing that Tan Zhou didn't speak, Zou Jiaming let out a small breath, and then said, "Actually, I'm quite curious about you guys. The surname Qi said that you have known each other for several years, but you... like this, he is trying to please you everywhere, isn't it?" Did you have any conflicts before? Or did he do something wrong to you? Now his conscience has come to save you as a friend?"

Tan Zhou walked into the factory expressionlessly. Zou Jiaming waited for him to speak until he got up the stairs. Tan Zhou turned around and said to Zou Jiaming, "Go to bed early."

Zou Jiaming choked for a while, and said after a while, "You go to bed early, too."

Tan Zhou returned to the house with a cold air, and it was much warmer than outside when he entered the house.

Seeing him coming back, Qi Chengliu hurriedly stood up, looked at the noodles on the table again, feeling suddenly depressed, "The batter is in a ball."

Tan Zhou didn't hear it clearly, so he went directly to get the kettle, which was next to the bowl, so he naturally saw the bowl of noodles, paused, and asked, "Is it for me?"

Qi Chengliu nodded, and sighed again: "It's a pity that the noodle soup is all mushy, it must not taste good."

Tan Zhou took another look, and took the pot to fill the water.

The water is boiling slowly.

Tan Zhou took off his shoes and put on warm slippers. These slippers were sewn by his grandmother and were very warm.

Qi Chengliu deliberated for a while, and asked him, "Today...why did you come back so late?"

"Going out to eat." Tan Zhou bent down and put the shoes under the bed.

"……Oh."

Tan Zhou boiled the water and took his clothes to take a bath.

Qi Chengliu watched his movements, and said behind him: "You can wash your hair today, I bought a hair dryer."

Tan Zhou paused, "I won't wash my hair today."

Qi Chengliu looked and looked at the noodles on the table, and finally decided to add water to warm up and eat by himself.

Can't be wasted.

It's also a thought.

When Tan Zhou came back from the shower, he could smell the soap on his body when he got closer, which was refreshing and pleasant.

Qi Chengliu also ran to take a quick shower, then got into bed wearing a pair of underwear, facing the direction of Tan Zhou's bed, and said softly to the darkness: "Good night."

Tan Zhou closed his eyes, tired and soon fell asleep.

The temperature dropped sharply the next day, not a little bit colder than yesterday.

Qi Chengliu didn't bring any thick clothes, so he wore a thin hooded sweater with a black jacket on top, and got up tremblingly to hold water.

It was still quiet outside, and most of them didn't get up. Firstly, it was still early, and secondly, it was caused by the terrible weather.

The water in the pot was gurgling, Qi Chengliu put his hands on top of the steaming pot, at least to keep warm, then put the noodles down, yawned, feeling cold and sleepy.

He put down the noodles, cooked them slowly, looked back at Tan Zhou who was still sleeping, and smiled silently.

After the noodles were cooked, Qi Chengliu checked the time again, it was almost time to get up, and it would not disturb him to sleep for a while.He walked to Tan Zhou's bed, leaned over and called Tan Zhou in a warm voice: "Tan Zhou, get up."

Tan Zhou twisted his body and was slowly woken up. As soon as he opened his eyes, he saw Qi Chengliu's face.

Qi Chengliu smiled all over his face: "Get up."

Tan Zhou covered his eyes, turned his back to Qi Chengliu, "Wait a minute."

"Okay, you can sleep for a while." Qi Chengliu said, "I cooked the noodles."

Tan Zhou let out a "huh", his voice muffled under the quilt, "Thank you."

☆, -13-

-13-

Qi Chengliu watched nervously as Tan Zhou took the first mouthful of noodles. As soon as the noodles entered his mouth, he was vaccinated and said in a low voice, "It may not be very tasty. If you can't eat it, don't eat it. I'll wait Go down for breakfast..."

Tan Zhou nodded, chewed carefully, swallowed and nodded, "It's okay."

Qi Chengliu's heart changed one by one:

fuck me?

fuck!

Fuck me! ! !

Just about to explode with joy.

Tan Zhou ate a whole bowl of noodles, cleaned up and went to work.

Qi Chengliu didn't wash the dishes either, we'll talk about it when we get back.He quickly took his phone and followed Tan Zhou.

Tan Zhou heard the movement and looked back at him.

Qi Chengliu laughed, walked up to him with a stride of his long legs, and asked warmly, "Is it cold?"

"not cold."

Qi Chengliu said again: "Put on your hat."

"Oh." As soon as Tan Zhou was reminded by him, he reached out to pull the hat on the back of his clothes, but the people around him moved a step faster than him, and already grabbed his hat and gently covered his head.

Qi Chengliu smiled so much that the corners of his mouth curled up to his ears, "Okay."

Tan Zhou gathered his clothes and said nothing.

Qi Chengliu happily followed Tan Zhou downstairs. This was the first time, and it was the first time for him and Tan Zhou to go to work.

Going down the stairs, Tan Zhou walked slowly, looking at the ground, and asked Qi Chengliu calmly, "When are you going back?"

"Where are you going?" Qi Chengliu didn't react at first.

Tan Zhou remained silent.

Only then did Qi Chengliu understand, his mood suddenly fell to the bottom, he suppressed his smile, and murmured bitterly: "It's only been a few days..." Finally, he didn't drive people away. He was fine just now, but suddenly he said this again .

Tan Zhou heard Qi Chengliu's words clearly and understood the meaning of his words.Haven't gotten tired of it yet.He didn't speak again.

Qi Chengliu felt that Tan Zhou possessed a magical power that no one else had—a few words could make people go back and forth between heaven and hell.

He watched Tan Zhou go upstairs, then clicked his tongue, and went back to his workshop with his head downcast, working listlessly again.

Seeing Qi Chengliu like this, the girl in the workshop asked curiously, "Why do you have such a miserable face every day at work?"

Qi Chengliu squeezed out a smile, unwilling to explain, and lied casually: "It's boring."

"Then go shopping after get off work in the afternoon?"

"Tsk. I still have to go to work." Qi Chengliu said, "If you skip work again, you will be fired."

The girl laughed loudly, and after she finished laughing, she continued, "Today is the sixth birthday of the factory director's son! You are a newcomer, but thanks to his son, he is not required to go to work at night."

Qi Chengliu raised his eyebrows, "Oh? So cool?"

The birthday of the factory director's son was really a good day. Not only was the evening off, but the food in the cafeteria finally got better at noon, and each person added a chicken leg.

Zou Jiaming and Tan Zhou sat together to eat, gnawed the chicken leg twice, wiped the oil on their mouths with the back of their hands, "Tan Zhou, do you want to play together at night?"

"I won't go." Tan Zhou chewed slowly, and waited until he finished eating what was in his mouth before saying.

"Hey, this time it's not the same as last time, just the two of us." Zou Jiaming acted as if he didn't hear Tan Zhou's rejection, "How about going ice skating?"

Tan Zhou shook his head: "I won't."

"I'll teach you!"

"I don't want to learn."

Zou Jiaming let out a long sigh, as if he hated iron for being weak, then sighed and said, "You're always reluctant to go out... Hey, what's going on."

Tan Zhou chewed the chicken leg, and said, "I'm too tired, I don't want to go out."

Although Qi Chengliu didn't eat in the cafeteria, he paid for the food anyway. He was reminded by the workshop that the food would be good today, so he brought a lunch box over to fill the food, and turned around to see Tan Zhou and Zou Jiaming sitting together. After eating in harmony, I looked at it several times with special sourness, and then went back to the dormitory with the lunch box.

Qi Chengliu thought faintly as he walked: It would be great if he could sit and eat with Tan Zhou in harmony sometime.

Tan Zhou went back to the dormitory after eating and washed the clothes he changed last night.

The water from the faucet was icy and cold, and after washing the clothes, my hands were red from the cold.

After Tan Zhou finished drying his clothes, he looked up at the sky. It was gray and cold, giving people the illusion that winter had already entered.

Qi Chengliu rested his legs on the edge of the table, playing with his mobile phone, humming a ditty, when he saw Tan Zhou came back, he stopped playing on his mobile phone, and looked at him, "It's still early, can you still sleep...your hand? "

Qi Chengliu first dropped his legs to the side, then got up, took a step, walked to Tan Zhou's side, grabbed his hand, "The clothes are frozen like this?"

Tan Zhou shrank his hand, "Let go."

"If the water is cold, you can put some hot water in it." Qi Chengliu said without letting go, still with an ugly expression.

Tan Zhou gritted his teeth, desperately trying to pull his hand away, "It's fine, let go."

Qi Chengliu was stunned for a while, and it took a long time before he seemed to come back to his senses, and said in a low voice: "...Damn."

Taking advantage of his daze, Tan Zhou pulled away his hand, and when he heard him suddenly swear, he looked up at him, feeling that he was "reliable" for no reason.

Qi Chengliu asked: "Is this your mantra?"

"What?" Tan Zhou was at a loss.

Qi Chengliu imitated his tone and said that sentence vividly, "It's okay, it's fine."

Tan Zhou: "..."

Tan Zhou took off his shoes and lay on the bed, ignoring his insanity.

For the whole afternoon, Qi Chengliu was looking forward to getting off work, and didn't have the mind to do things at all. He made several mistakes and almost cut his clothes.

After finally looking forward to getting off work, Qi Chengliu flew to the dormitory building like an arrow following the ringing of the off-duty bell.

He sat on the chair leisurely, swiped the screen of the phone with his slender fingers, clicked on Tan Zhou's number, and dialed it directly.

It took a long time for Tan Zhou to connect. Looking at the strange number, he hesitated and said, "...Hello?"

Qi Chengliu chuckled, "Tan Zhou, don't eat in the cafeteria, how about we go out to eat?"

Tan Zhou knew who it was in an instant. He took a deep breath and suppressed his anger, but he still couldn't control it. He said coldly, "Are you sick?"

Qi Chengliu froze for a moment, and didn't speak for a long time.

Tan Zhou was about to hang up the phone when he suddenly heard Qi Chengliu's voice: "Tan Zhou, I'm very glad that you are no longer... afraid of me."

Tan Zhou hung up the phone and took a bowl to fill the rice.

Qi Chengliu frowned when he heard the busy voice.

Tan Zhou returned to the dormitory after dinner, acting indifferently as if nothing had happened.

Seeing that it took him so long to come back, Qi Chengliu must have guessed that he didn't listen and ate in the cafeteria. He didn't care about it, and said to Tan Zhou with a bright face, "Go out and play."

"Do not."

"It's finally a holiday, it's too wasteful not to go out to play."

"Do not."

"How about we go to the Internet cafe, I haven't played games for a long time, my hands are itchy."

"Do not."

"Ah... It's okay if you don't go shopping. I'm afraid it will be winter in a few days, and I don't have thick clothes to wear."

"Do not."

"Then you've been staying in the dormitory?"

"Do not."

Qi Chengliu snickered.

Tan Zhou came back to his senses, and glared at Qi Chengliu angrily.

Qi Chengliu was in a good mood when he was stared at. He smiled and smiled at Tan Zhou, "Let's go, really, I don't even have any clothes to wear. You see, I'm wearing thin clothes now, and I'm so cold to death."

After leaving the factory, Qi Chengliu asked Tan Zhou: "Where do you usually buy clothes?"

Tan Zhou shook his head and did not answer.

Qi Chengliu's thoughts changed, and he suddenly realized that Tan Zhou probably rarely buys clothes... The last time I saw him cover his body with a few thick cotton jackets, they all looked old and worn for several years.

"Then let's take a stroll." Qi Chengliu said.

One of the street lights on this street was broken, and Tan Zhou happened to walk into the dark, and the darkness hid his silhouette. He said softly, "I know there is an underground shopping mall. Zou Jiaming said before that the quality of clothes there is good."

Qi Chengliu didn't drive, but called a motorcycle.

The vicinity of the factory is on the edge of the town, the traffic is not very convenient, and there are very few taxis, but it is a paradise for motorcycles, and motorcycles are often used to carry passengers.

He sat behind Tan Zhou, leaning against Tan Zhou's back, leaning his head close to him, and asked through the howling wind, "Is it cold?"

The motorcycle was driving fast, with gusts of cold wind.Tan Zhou shook his head.

Qi Chengliu moved closer to him, leaning his entire chest against his, thigh against his, and crotch against his... buttocks. Feeling Tan Zhou's body froze, he explained in a low voice: "Relying on being able to... Warm up."

Tan Zhou bit his lip hard, sitting on the same motorcycle, it's really... damn easy to be taken advantage of.

Tan Zhou moved forward, and Qi Chengliu followed suit.

He moved again, and he moved with him.

Until the motorcycle driver's voice was carried by the wind: "Hey, buddies, don't squeeze!"

Only then did he give up, Tan Zhou clenched his fists, fearing that he would reach his destination as soon as possible.

Arrived.

Qi Chengliu got out of the car first, and then Tan Zhou.

After Qi Chengliu paid the money, he saw that Tan Zhou walked forward without waiting for him, so he hurriedly followed, noticing that something was wrong with Tan Zhou, and asked in a low voice, "What's wrong?"

Tan Zhou kept silent and kept walking without looking at the surrounding shops.

Qi Cheng understood, his throat was a little dry, and he quickly explained: "I didn't want to take advantage of you... The main thing is that three big men are riding on a motorcycle. If you don't squeeze forward, I will fall off."

Tan Zhou still didn't look at him, but finally said, "Hurry up and buy some clothes."

Qi Chengliu was stunned for a moment, then laughed, "Okay!"

Zou Jiaming's former Amway shopping mall was really... a non-mainstream trend.

The men's clothing in every store looks low and cheap. There is even a row of women's clothing on the left and a row of men's clothing on the right, and a row of shelves in the middle to buy children's clothing.Looking at the quality and style, 100 yuan can buy three pieces of clothing.

Qi Chengliu walked around and was speechless, not daring to step into the store.

Tan Zhou was also a little embarrassed looking at it, the clothes on this street really looked...bad, he forgot Zou Jiaming's taste in clothes...

Tan Zhou doesn't pay much attention to clothes, ordinary is fine, but the clothes here are not ordinary at all, they are very ostentatious. Every store has men's leggings with low crotch, and there are even huge star prints on the pants...

"Sorry." Tan Zhou said.

☆, -14-

-14-

"Sorry for what?" Qi Chengliu clicked his tongue, and then suggested, "Go shopping elsewhere?"

Tan Zhou nodded: "Okay."

It's not far from the pedestrian street, and it's only four or five stops away by bus.

It was seven or eight o'clock, and there were quite a lot of people on the bus, and it was hard to get on the bus.

Tan Zhou grabbed the handrail, not used to having physical contact with so many people, so he shrank subconsciously, but no matter how much he shrank, it was useless. i He was facing the direction of the car window, and his eyes fell outside the car window to divert his attention.

Qi Chengliu stood behind Tan Zhou, protecting him.

Qi Chengliu listened to the music boredly. As he listened, he suddenly pulled off an earphone and stuffed it into Tan Zhou's ear, with a smile in his voice: "Listen to some music to relieve boredom."

Tan Zhou was taken aback, but said nothing, listening to the song quietly.

It's an old song, and Tan Zhou has heard it too.

和 你 相依 命永 相随

为 你 朝朝暮暮付 一生

No matter through thousands of mountains and thousands of rivers

和 你 白头偕 老永 相随

Willing to give my whole life for you

Coexist with ups and downs

陪 你 走 过 一 又 一程

……

Soon after getting out of the car, Tan Zhou put down his earphones, and the ear wires drooped, dangling a few times on Qi Chengliu's clothes.

Qi Chengliu got out of the car, and while walking, unplugged the earphones, tidied up the ear wires, and put them in his pocket.

Qi Chengliu casually wandered around a few stores, picked out a few clothes, tried them on casually, and bought them when the size was right for her.After a while, he bought the clothes, but he was still in the store, hesitant to speak.

Tan Zhou looked at him inexplicably.

Qi Chengliu stammered, "Can I... can I buy you a few too? I'm not saying your clothes are not good," the voice suddenly decreased, and only Tan Zhou could hear, "...I'll tell you what you're wearing. Loved both. It's just..."

Qi Chengliu became more and more flustered by Tan Zhou, swallowed the words "I just want to buy for you" back into his stomach, and held his breath for a long time before uttering another word.

Tan Zhou shook his head: "No need."

Qi Chengliu was instantly discouraged.

"I'll take another look." Qi Chengliu sighed, still unwilling to leave.

Tan Zhou was sitting on the sofa for customers to rest, staring at the upper of his shoes with lowered eyes, in a daze
