if you catch me

Next, he took out his mobile phone from his pocket, pressed a series of numbers, and announced: "His mobile phone number, you can ask him."

Only then did Zhang Jia realize that Tan Zhou's reaction was very impatient, afraid of being misunderstood, she hurriedly waved her hands to explain: "Tan Zhou, that's not what I meant—I have no idea about Qi Chengliu..."

Tan Zhou raised his head to look at her when he heard the last sentence, and noticed something sensitively, "Why did you tell me?"

"No, no..." Zhang Jia thought of Qi Chengliu telling her not to tell anyone else, and naturally thought that Tan Zhou probably didn't want her to know, so he quickly retorted, "I'm not afraid that you might misunderstand that I'm here for Qi Chengliu It's close to you!"

Tan Zhou picked up the bucket again, walked around Zhang Jia, and whispered, "I'm going to take a bath."

Zhang Jiashun said, "Mmm! Wash it up!"

"..."

Qi Chengliu rejected his friend's suggestion to sing K all night, and returned to the dormitory with a faint smell of alcohol.

As soon as he entered the door, he saw Tan Zhou wearing thin long-sleeved trousers and leaning over to make the bed. Qi Chengliu leaned against the door and looked at him quietly. Tan Zhou was really too thin, and his clothes were worn down on his body. Will the wind come in through the sleeves when you raise your hands?

Qi Chengliu's heart gradually became sore, thinking of the look of contempt on the face of his high school classmates who accidentally mentioned Tan Zhou just now, he became more and more frustrated and frustrated, all of this was caused by him...

If it wasn't so crazy back then... Well, how nice it would be.

Tan Zhou spread the quilt and was about to turn off the lights. When he turned around, he saw Qi Chengliu standing at the door with a gloomy face. He was a little surprised: "Are you back?"

"Yeah." Qi Chengliu regained his senses from that dark memory, then closed the door, walked towards Tan Zhou, stood not far from him, and said in a low voice, "Tan Zhou... I'm sorry ..."

Tan Zhou's heart skipped a beat. This time the apology felt very different from last time. He was confused for a moment. After a while, he calmed down, smelled the smell of alcohol in the air, and changed the subject, "You drank ?”

"Well, a little bit." Qi Chengliu still looked at him deeply, as if he wanted to look into the depths of his eyes, wanting to know his true thoughts, "I know you...hate others drinking, so I didn't dare Drink, but with friends...you can't stop drinking at all."

Tan Zhou frowned, "How do you know?"

Qi Chengliu was a little embarrassed to speak, he hesitated for a long time before whispering: "I peeked at your diary before."

Tan Zhou turned around and was about to go to bed.

Qi Chengliu took a step and hugged him.

Tan Zhou froze completely, with a broad and strong chest behind him, Qi Chengliu's body temperature invaded through the thin clothes, Tan Zhou's legs were weak, and he couldn't stand still, he trembled, his voice trembled, " ...Aren't you going to go crazy with alcohol?"

"No, I'm not drunk." Qi Chengliu buried his head on Tan Zhou's neck, and there was a faint scent of soap on his body between his nostrils, "I just want to hug you."

Tan Zhou tugged Qi Chengliu's arm that was imprisoned around his waist, trying to break free from his embrace, but resisted, "No."

Qi Chengliu clenched his hands and leaned Tan Zhou's body against him, and the two of them pressed tightly against each other.

Tan Zhou suddenly forgot to breathe, and his blood almost stopped flowing in panic.

"Okay, just a hug." Qi Chengliu let go of Tan Zhou with a smile, "Just a hug."

Tan Zhou hurried to bed and hid under the quilt, still not daring to show his breath.

Qi Chengliu quietly looked at the bulge of the quilt. After a long time, his voice became extremely low and hoarse, like the sound of a chainsaw cutting on wood, "Tan Zhou, let's start again. OK?"

Naturally there was no response.

Qi Chengliu is also used to it, and continued to talk to himself: "I will treat you well. I know I am a bastard... I also hate myself for not realizing that I like you sooner... Forget about the past, okay?"

"I really don't want to let you go again."

"Tan Zhou, I did too many wrong things in the past, and it was all my fault, which caused you to become like this. I regret it very much. If I can go back to the first year of high school, I will definitely treat you well."

"Tan Zhou, Tan Zhou..."

"...Tan Zhou, I can't see anyone else anymore."

Tan Zhou was biting his lip hard under the quilt, and pinched the flesh on his thigh with both hands.

To shut up.

To shut up.

To shut up.

I don't know how long it took, Qi Chengliu finally stopped talking, and Tan Zhou let go of his hands, his palms were sticky with sweat.

His mind was full of the unbearable injuries from the past, which tortured Tan Zhou cruelly.

Tan Zhou didn't hear Qi Chengliu's words clearly after the sentence "forget the past", he was completely swallowed up by the memories Qi Chengliu brought up.

The sky was gloomy and seemed to be falling down. Huge raindrops hit the ground and splashed fleeting sprays. The cold air hit, making the bed feel warmer and more comfortable.

Tan Zhou slept until he was woken up by the alarm clock, and slowly got up, his face was haggard, and there were obvious dark circles under his eyes. It seemed that he didn't sleep well last night.

He rubbed his eyes, yawned lightly, dressed slowly and got up, and took a towel and tooth bowl to wash up.

The rain was still falling, with no tendency to decrease at all. The rain was flying around and wet one side of the corridor.

On the way to the pool, he met Qi Chengliu who was about to come back. Qi Chengliu saw him and showed him a big smile. His teeth were white and neat after washing, "Good morning."

Tan Zhou raised his head and glanced at Qi Chengliu, then his eyes fell on the ground again, "Good morning."

Qi Chengliu was in a good mood, and told Tan Zhou in a warm voice: "Go inside, don't be splashed by the rain."

"En." Tan Zhou responded, then moved closer to the wall, walking at a leisurely pace.

Qi Chengliu looked back at him for a while, then turned back to the dormitory with a smile on his face.

Qi Chengliu wanted to make noodles, but when he opened the kitchen cabinet, he found that the noodles were gone.

He frowned, glanced outside the door, then picked up his wallet, took out a black umbrella from the crack of the door, and went out to buy breakfast.

The rain made a crackling sound on the umbrella surface, and some water had already risen on the ground, and soon the shoes were wet. After leaving the factory and walking to the vegetable market, the socks also became wet, and it was very uncomfortable to wrap the feet.

There are many stalls selling breakfast in the vegetable market, and Qi Chengliu usually comes here to buy breakfast, but it's only a 8-[-]-minute walk.

Qi Chengliu bought two bowls of small wontons, steamed buns and steamed buns, and stepped into the rain again with a bag and an umbrella.

It was much more difficult to come back, the wind was strong and fierce, and it was against the direction, plus he had to worry about not spilling the wontons, half of Qi Chengliu's body was soaked when he came back.

Qi Chengliu put the umbrella outside the house, and then went in quickly. As soon as he entered the dormitory, he felt the warmth of the room rushing towards his face. He raised his breakfast: "Tan Zhou, breakfast is ready!"

Tan Zhou bit off the instant noodles and looked up at the person at the door in astonishment. He was wet, his hair was wet, his coat was black and he couldn't see clearly, but his light-colored jeans had been wet and turned dark, which was really eye-catching.He swallowed the noodles in his mouth, still sat on the bed, with his arms resting on the table, with a calm expression, "I said where have you been?"

Qi Chengliu saw clearly that Tan Zhou was eating instant noodles. He frowned and walked over, step by step with wet footprints. He glanced at the noodles in the bowl. Fortunately, he didn't eat much, "Where did the instant noodles come from?" ?”

Tan Zhou wiped the corner of his mouth, and said irrelevantly, "It's time to go to work."

"I can't eat instant noodles when I'm about to go to work." Although Qi Chengliu said so, he still put the breakfast he was carrying on the table, opened a bowl of wontons, and pushed it in front of Tan Zhou, "Eat this."

Tan Zhou flipped through the white plastic bag, took out a spoon from it, and ate the wontons.

Qi Chengliu glanced under her bed, then caught up with the previous question again, "Where did you get the instant noodles?"

Tan Zhou took a mouthful of a small wonton, drank a few mouthfuls of delicious soup, and said truthfully, "I bought it at the canteen downstairs."

"Don't eat it in the future, okay?" Qi Chengliu hurriedly changed his wet clothes.

Tan Zhou didn't speak, he quickly finished his breakfast with his head down, and then rubbed his mouth with the back of his hand, "I'm going to work."

"Wait." Qi Chengliu took his arm, pulled out a tissue with his left hand, stood up and looked at Tan Zhou, and helped him wipe the corners of his mouth with a low smile, "I didn't even wipe it clean."

The fingers touched the skin, and it was icy cold.Tan Zhou subconsciously reached out to grab the tissue, "I'll do it myself."

Tan Zhou had been staying indoors the entire time, and his whole body was quite warm. He accidentally touched Qi Chengliu's hand, causing a slight numb tremor, which made Qi Chengliu pause for a second, reflexively wanting to grab him. Holding Tan Zhou's hand, he was afraid of being cold, so he quickly withdrew his hand and smiled at Tan Zhou: "It's finished."

Tan Zhou put down his hands, expressionless on his face, "Thank you." After he finished speaking, he went to get an umbrella, but when he walked into the crack of the door, he found that there was none.

Qi Chengliu noticed it, and pointed to the outside: "The umbrella is placed outside the house."

Tan Zhou heard it, went out, picked up the umbrella and left.

Qi Chengliu quickly called him to stop: "I don't have an umbrella..."

Tan Zhou stopped at the door and looked at him sideways.

Qi Chengliu finished a bowl of wontons and two steamed buns as quickly as possible, put the remaining buns and steamed buns into the pocket of the sweater, and quickly locked the door and went out.

He buttoned the hat on the sweater on his head, put his hands in the pockets of his coat, and smiled at Tan Zhou: "I've been waiting for a long time, let's go."

Tan Zhou walked ahead in silence.

The stairs in the dormitory were bare, and Tan Zhou held up an umbrella and said to Qi Chengliu, "You go down first, and I will support you behind."

Qi Chengliu stretched out his hand, taking advantage of his height to hold the top of the umbrella rib, "I'll support it."

"I'm not familiar with you going down the stairs." Tan Zhou still held the umbrella handle, seeing Qi Chengliu's appearance of rebutting, he said softly, "Stop arguing."

Qi Chengliu was silent for a moment, Tan Zhou gave him a slight push, and then he began to go down the stairs holding on to one handrail, Tan Zhou followed, with an umbrella propped on top of their heads.

It is even more difficult to climb the empty stairs on rainy days, especially going down the stairs. It is better to go up the stairs. The iron rods are wet, and if you are not careful, your feet will slip.When Qi Chengliu went to buy breakfast, the umbrella handle was clamped between his neck and shoulders, and both hands were holding on to the armrests on both sides.Now that Tan Zhou was right behind, he tried his best to save face and only supported one armrest, while still neatly putting his other hand in his pocket.

Tan Zhou didn't urge him to hurry up, but silently followed Qi Chengliu's speed.

On the contrary, Qi Chengliu in front kept chanting: "Slow down...it's slippery here, walk slowly..."

Walking down the stairs, Qi Chengliu looked at Tan Zhou sideways, and said in an irresistible tone, "I'll support you." After a pause, he added, "I'm tall."

"..." Tan Zhou moved the umbrella to Qi Chengliu speechlessly, Qi Chengliu grabbed the handle of the umbrella, and Tan Zhou quickly let go.

Qi Chengliu took a look at Tan Zhouzhou, "Stay closer, it will rain."

Tan Zhou was unwilling: "It's okay, the umbrella is quite big."

"Hey, you are almost standing outside the umbrella." Qi Chengliu sighed, and reached out to grab Tan Zhou. Tan Zhou was dragged over easily like a child, and Qi Chengliu embraced Tan Zhou. Zhou's back didn't touch him, even the fingers resting on his arm didn't touch him, so he just supported him, walked step by step to the door to check in, and then turned to go to the factory building.

Qi Chengliu paid attention to which side of the ground had less rain, and distractedly looked at Tan Zhou, "Will it be cold?"

Tan Zhou shook his head: "No."

Qi Chengliu looked Tan Zhou up and down, and frowned unconsciously, "Isn't there too little clothes on?"

"No." Tan Zhou didn't bother to talk to him, and said directly, "I'm wearing a sweater."

That means - it's much warmer than just a hoodie inside.

"Is the sweater thick?" Qi Chengliu asked again.

"thick."

"Where are the shoes? Are they not wet?"

"No."

Qi Chengliu finally stepped on the dry ground, put away the umbrella, kicked his feet, "Hey, my shoes are wet again."

Tan Zhou took the umbrella, pondered for a moment, "Your walking posture is not correct."

"The walking posture is incorrect?" Qi Chengliu looked at his feet strangely, and took two steps along the way, "I don't think it's incorrect."

"I'm going upstairs."

"Hey!" Qi Chengliu called to him and scratched his head, "Let's go together after get off work too...I don't have an umbrella."

Tan Zhou said softly, "Okay."

Qi Chengliu was very grateful for the heavy rain, which allowed him and Tan Zhou to walk so close together.

He was absent-mindedly folding his clothes when his phone rang and it was a text message from Huang Xiaoqiu: "Happy 42nd birthday!"

Qi Chengliu looked at the text message and sneered, and called directly. As soon as Huang Xiaoqiu was connected, he said loudly and excitedly: "Happy birthday."

"Ah."

"What's wrong?" Huang Xiaoqiu realized something was wrong.

Qi Chengliu sneered, and explained briefly, "It was my birthday yesterday."

"..." Huang Xiaoqiu paused for a few moments, then quickly changed the topic, "Oh hehe... did you spend time with Tan Zhou?"

"No." Qi Chenglu paused, tilted his head and put the phone between his ears and shoulders, while folding his clothes, "I didn't tell him."

Huang Xiaoqiu raised her voice, "He doesn't know?!"

"I don't know." Qi Chengliu replied.

"Why didn't you tell him?"

Qi Chengliu's eyes darkened, and his voice was a little low, "It's not like you don't know...what if you tell me. I told him it was the winter solstice, so I took the opportunity to eat the vegetables and noodles he cooked."

Huang Xiaoqiu asked suspiciously: "Shouldn't you eat dumplings during the winter solstice? Why are you eating noodles?"

Qi Chengliu replied: "He forgot to cook the rice."

"That's not right..." Huang Xiaoqiu fell silent after reading this sentence, and said after a while, "This is unscientific, how can Tan Zhou be a person who forgets things."

"He said he was busy and forgot."

The more Huang Xiaoqiu thought about it, the more something was wrong. Hearing Qi Chengliu's answer, he helped his forehead helplessly. He even forgot to eat the orange, so he quickly enlightened him: "If he said he forgot, he forgot?"

It's not that he believes what he says... There's nothing wrong with it.

"Well, it's really easy to forget things when you're busy."

"But usually cook rice first and then cook vegetables, right? What can Tan Zhou do before cooking?" Huang Xiaoqiu pointed out sharply.

Qi Chengliu was silent.

Huang Xiaoqiu sat up, straightened her back, deliberately lowered her voice, slowly and elongated her voice, "42, do you think Tan Zhou specially cooked longevity noodles for you?"

☆, -19-

-19-

Qi Chengliu's heart skipped a beat.

He opened his mouth, his mouth was dry, he couldn't help licking his lower lip, and said hesitantly: "Impossible..."

"It's very possible!" Huang Xiaoqiu said firmly at the other end, the more he thought about it, the more certain he was.

"Could it be a coincidence?" The joy came so fast, Qi Chengliu even began to doubt, looking for reasons, "Because it's too late to cook, and there are only noodles in the room."

"Tan Zhou knows this!" Huang Xiaoqiu said impatiently, "If you think about it again, there is nothing unusual about him?"

"Hmm..." Qi Chengliu remembered something, "He washed the dishes again...they are all meat dishes."

Huang Xiaoqiu let out a "ha" in satisfaction, and praised, "That's right! Tan Zhou deserves to have good grades in the past, he has a high IQ, and he is a scheming boy!"

Qi Chengliu didn't pay attention to Huang Xiaoqiu's words, his mind was numb, and when he thought of Tan Zhou specially cooking birthday noodles for him, he excitedly wanted to go upstairs and hug Tan Zhou three times.

Huang Xiaoqiu bit the orange again, and the sweet juice burst out of his mouth, moistening his throat, "42, you will catch up with Tan Zhou just around the corner!"

Qi Chengliu didn't do anything during Huang Xiaoqiu's analysis. He sat on a chair with one foot resting on the horizontal bar under the chair and the other long leg casually. He said to Huang Xiaoqiu on the other end of the phone: "Thank you. .”

Thanks for telling him the good news.

After get off work, Qi Chengliu stood downstairs waiting for Tan Zhou. The factory friends who had left work greeted him and asked him why he didn't go to eat when he was standing here. A little high-spirited, but also seemed a little proud, "Wait for Tan Zhou, I don't have an umbrella."

"Hey, let me lend you the umbrella first, Xiaoli and I will support it."

Qi Chengliu laughed: "No need, Tan Zhou is coming down soon. You go to eat first."

When Tan Zhou and Zou Jiaming went downstairs, they saw Qi Chengliu surrounded by several girls. Zou Jiaming snorted unhappily, obviously jealous and uncomfortable, "Tsk, look how fake his smile is."

Tan Zhou looked up and saw Qi Chengliu smiling. He didn't respond to Zou Jiaming's words. Suddenly, Qi Chengliu looked towards them as if he had sensed it. The originally polite smile blossomed into a bright smile. , showing neat white teeth.

Qi Chengliu turned his head and told them to go eat quickly, and then called out, "Tan Zhou."

Seeing Qi Chengliu's enthusiasm and Tan Zhou's indifference, Zou Jiaming suddenly felt a little balanced in his heart. He hugged Tan Zhou's shoulders as if showing off. Tan Zhou was frightened by him, but he grinned. Trying to act like a buddy, "Zhou, let's go to the restaurant for dinner later? I'm getting tired of eating in the cafeteria every day."

Qi Chengliu's smile cooled down, and he stared at Zou Jiaming gloomyly.

Tan Zhou said softly, "It's raining outside."

Zou Jiaming was stunned for a moment, then looked outside, "...You can go even if it rains!"

Tan Zhou sighed, pulled Zou Jiaming's hand away, and said helplessly, "Don't treat me like Xiaoyu."

"What?" Zou Jiaming didn't respond.

Tan Zhou walked down the last step, then smiled at Zou Jiaming, his voice was very soft, "It can't be like this even if you are mentally unbalanced."

Zou Jiaming: "..."

Tan Zhou walked towards Qi Chengliu with no expression on his face, "Let's go."

With a sullen face, Qi Chengliu hugged Tan Zhou's shoulder very naturally.

"Hello." Tan Zhou said.

Qi Chengliu held his breath, then silently let go of his hand.

Zou Jiaming witnessed this process. He walked past Qi Chengliu, sneered, and said to Tan Zhou, "Shall I cook for you first?"

"it is good."

As soon as Zou Jiaming left, Tan Zhou opened the umbrella, but Qi Chengliu took it away the next second, and stood beside him naturally, walking slowly towards the rain curtain.Qi Chengliu was still depressed, he asked gloomily: "Why can Zou Jiaming hook shoulders with you?"

"Why do you say?" Tan Zhou glanced at him.

Qi Chengliu immediately understood what he meant, he opened his lips lightly, closed his mouth when he was about to speak, and walked for a while, finally couldn't help it, and murmured: "...I thought our relationship had improved a little bit."

Tan Zhou thought for a while, then gave a vague "hmm" and said nothing else.

The corners of Qi Chengliu's eyebrows and eyes turned up following the forehead lines, his expression became vivid, and he couldn't help but say, "Tan Zhou, I know you cooked noodles for me specially yesterday."

"Who told you that?"

"Huang Xiaoqiu." Qi Chengliu realized something was wrong just after reporting his name. He touched Tan Zhou's shoulder with his shoulder, annoyed and funny, "Can't I figure it out by myself?"

Tan Zhou was noncommittal.

"Are you underestimating my IQ?" Qi Chengliu insisted on this topic.

"Ah."

Qi Chengliu choked for a moment, speechless by the other party's frankness.

After walking for a while, Qi Cheng laughed lowly, and looked at Tan Zhou sideways with deep affection in his eyes, and said softly, "Thank you."

Tan Zhou said softly, "No thanks."

When we reached the stairs of the dormitory, this time Qi Chengliu insisted on holding an umbrella underneath, and let Tan Zhou go up first, but Tan Zhou couldn't resist him, so he had to climb up first, Qi Chengliu followed a step behind, with the umbrella on the heads of the two of them, step by step .

Qi Chengliu was originally looking at Tan Zhou's back with concern, but suddenly, for some reason, his eyes turned to Tan Zhou's buttocks, and he condensed on it, unwilling to leave.

Qi Chengliu swallowed, her voice hoarse, "Tan Zhou, be careful."

"Hmm." Tan Zhou didn't notice the intriguing gaze behind him at all.

Qi Chengliu looked at it even more recklessly, thinking of the soft touch, and then thinking of the softness and firmness inside, a fire sprang up underneath, vaguely about to burn.He looked away in embarrassment, pulled down his clothes to try to cover the bulge in his crotch, but the jacket and sweater couldn't be stretched, Qi Chengliu sighed, looked around, saw no one was looking at this side, and secretly I pressed it, but...it didn't help.

Tan Zhou stood in the corridor, turning his head and waiting for Qi Chengliu.

Qi Chengliu unexpectedly lowered his head, looking a little depressed.

Tan Zhou looked at him puzzled, and when Qi Chengliu also came up, he saw the eye-catching wrapped ball at a glance. Tan Zhou's face suddenly became hot and hot, and he panicked with embarrassment. He just remembered that Qi Chengliu was following him just now, climbing the stairs... Tan Zhou bit his lip, but couldn't help it: "Pervert."

Qi Chengliu was holding the umbrella with one hand, and wanted to cover the ball with the other. He was also very embarrassed, and explained without confidence: "I didn't do it on purpose..." Desires come when they want, and they come again. At a young age, cough, how can I manage it.

With a straight face, Tan Zhou walked towards the dormitory room, far away from Qi Chengliu.

Qi Chengliu put down her umbrella and went to the bathroom.

Tan Zhou picked up his umbrella and went to the cafeteria to eat again.

After Qi Chengliu vented, he gasped heavily, still staring at the photos on his phone.

Tan Zhou was naked all over, with obvious marks on his body. He lay powerlessly on the messy bed, his arms covering his eyes, the tear stains on his cheeks were clear, and blue underwear was still hanging around his ankles.

Qi Chengliu looks at this photo almost every time he masturbates.

With pleasure and guilt, the two emotions are entangled, and I always lose my mind for a long time after masturbation.

Will be fine.

It will always be fine.

There is no hopeless situation in the world.

Time passes day by day.

Getting along with each other flatly, it seems that there is progress, but it seems that there is no progress.

It's finally time to get excited about paying your salary.

Because Tan Zhou paid his salary in advance, he only had more than 1000 yuan in his hand. He folded the banknotes neatly and carefully put them into the inner pocket of his coat.

It was Qi Chengliu's turn to get his salary, and he was also very excited. The first pot of gold in his life, he waited for the number of people in the office to hand over the salary to him. Qi Chengliu took the money and asked casually, "How much?"

"Eighteen hundred and five yuan, you haven't come to work many times."

Qi Chengliu put the money in his pocket without counting, with a look of surprise, "There are more than 800."

The team leader of the packaging department was right next to him. Hearing that Qi Chengluite was satisfied with just over 1000 yuan, he felt sad that the young man was so easy to be satisfied, so he decided to give him a sledgehammer to hit him: "I have four thousand three this month."

Seeing that the team leader was talking to him, Qi Chengliu glanced at him with a look of indifference, and complimented casually, "The team leader is amazing."

"Work hard next month," the team leader patted Qi Chengliu's shoulder with his master, and said earnestly, "Don't miss work anymore, and be careful not to get fired."

Qi Chengliu smiled: "Okay."

When Qi Chengliu walked out of the office, he saw Tan Zhou outside. He smiled, walked towards Tan Zhou, grabbed his shoulder, rubbed his other hand in his pocket, and put a wad of money in Tan Zhou's pocket. hand, "Help me put it away."

Tan Zhou frowned, looked at the money in his hand, and was about to return it, "You take it yourself."

"Don't, if you put it on me, I'll spend it indiscriminately." Qi Chengliu chuckled slightly, and added, "I finally earned it."

Tan Zhou insisted on returning it to him, "It can be deposited in the bank."

"Hey." Qi Chengliu clicked his tongue in distress. He took the money, but in the next second, he loosened his hand and quickly put it into Tan Zhou's hat, "Help me."

Tan Zhou reached out to get the money in the hat, but Qi Chengliu quickly picked it up. When Tan Zhou put down his hand, he put the money in again. Tan Zhou went to get it again, and he took it away again. Tan Zhou simply put it on Hat, powerless: "You're all boring."

Qi Chengliu chuckled and scratched his head, "I'm afraid you'll give it back to me again."

Tan Zhou remained silent.

Qi Chengliu smiled lowly, and walked slowly back to the dormitory. Just as he closed the door, he handed over the salary to Tan Zhou again, and asked, "Would you like to play later?"

"Don't go."

"What are you doing in the dormitory?" Qi Chengliu asked.

Tan Zhou said lightly, "Wash the clothes."

Qi Chengliu immediately patted his chest, "I'll wash it for you!"

"No need." Tan Zhou paused, afraid of what Qi Chengliu would say again, so he said bluntly, "You can't wash it clean."

Qi Chengliu subconsciously glanced at the clothes she was wearing, "No, they are quite clean."

Tan Zhou didn't speak.

Qi Chengliu asked unrelentingly again: "Then go play after washing?"

"Don't go."

"And why?"

Tan Zhou said, "Sleep."

☆, -20-

-20-

"Hey." Qi Chengliu sighed and rubbed his head, "I'm just going to shave my head and buy some groceries, it won't take much time."

Tan Zhou thought for a while, and he wanted to go to the bank to transfer money, so he nodded, "Yeah."

Qi Chengliu smiled, rolled up his sleeves, and insisted on helping, "Let me wash your socks or thinner clothes for you."

Tan Zhou was silent for a while, a faint blush appeared on his face, "Socks are fine."

"Okay." Qi Chengliu lifted the bucket first, and said to Tan Zhou with a smile, "Let's go to do the laundry."

Tan Zhou picked up the washbasin from the ground, put the washing powder, brush and washboard into the basin, and followed to the sink.

A pair of socks were washed in a short time. Qi Chengliu lingered on, put the socks under the faucet to play with water, looked at Tan Zhou sideways, and asked, "Tan Zhou, what kind of hairstyle do you think I should get?"

"Make whatever you like."

Qi Chengliu tied up the mouth of the socks, poked the bulging water socks with his fingers, and asked indifferently, "Then what do you like?"

Tan Zhou paused for a while, then rubbed his clothes again, and said flatly, "No."

"Hey, neither do I." Qi Chengliu tied up another sock, put it in front of Tan Zhou, smiled and rolled his dark eyes, "Look."

Tan Zhou glanced at it and sighed silently, "Go back after washing."

Qi Chengliu glanced at the place where the clothes were piled up, and asked, "Is there nothing else to wash?"

"No."

"I'm fine with things like thermal clothes, and I can handle thin clothes."

Tan Zhou washed a coat very slowly and put it in a bucket filled with clean water, "No, you go back."

Qi Chengliu hesitated for a while, and finally compromised, "Okay."

Seeing Qi Chengliu walking out, Tan Zhou held his forehead weakly, took out his underwear and washed them.

After washing his clothes and returning to the house, Qi Chengliu immediately greeted him, holding thick knitted black gloves in his hands and was about to put them on his hands, "Your hands are red from the cold, put on your gloves quickly."

Tan Zhou glanced at the raw gloves in astonishment, and sighed helplessly, "I haven't hung the clothes yet."

"I'll help you!"

Tan Zhou refused, and returned the gloves to Qi Chengliu, "I'll do it myself."

After drying the clothes, Qi Chengliu asked him to wear gloves again, Tan Zhou asked, "Where did they come from?"

"Oh, this one." Qi Chengliu flipped through the gloves, "I went out shopping the day before yesterday, the weather wasn't cold, so I bought a few pairs, and I still have them in the drawer, and I want to give them to Wu Jun who is in my team ..."

Tan Zhou lowered his eyelids, and without revealing his "good intentions", he took the gloves and put them on slowly, "I will do it myself."

Qi Chengliu turned around to get it again, "There is still a scarf!"

"..."

Qi Chengliu was holding a dark blue thick scarf, with an unnatural expression on his face. He probably knew how bad this lie was, so he was a little ashamed to speak, and stammered, "This... I bought too much..."

Without saying a word, Tan Zhou took the scarf and put it on, "Thank you."

The dark blue made Tan Zhou's skin whiter. Qi Chengliu stared at it dumbfounded, then shook his head to regain his senses, grinning so much that the corners of his mouth reached the ears, "It's very beautiful."

Qi Chengliu didn't wear the scarf and gloves that matched Tan Zhou, and he didn't dare to put them on, for fear that Tan Zhou would take them off immediately when he saw them.

He put on a black casual jacket, zippered to the chin, a hip-hop cap with a reversed hip-hop style, and black trousers with straight and slender legs. This outfit immediately made him look like Xiaoqi, an Internet celebrity.

Qi Chengliu asked Tan Zhou enthusiastically, "How is it? Handsome?"

Tan Zhou looked away after taking a look, and his tone was obviously perfunctory, "It's okay."

"Hey, should I change another set?"

Tan Zhou stopped him, "Don't be handsome."

Qi Chengliu smiled even more happily.

Tan Zhou walked a little far away from him, and secretly commented in his heart: Er ruffian.

I didn’t go far when I went out, the bank that Tan Zhou was going to was nearby, so Qi Chengliu just went to a barber shop to shave his head, after reading the old hairstyle magazines in the shop, Qi Chengliu closed his eyes. magazines, to the barber: "Shaved to size."

Tan Zhou remitted his salary to his mother, leaving only 150 yuan for food and 50 yuan for living expenses. After walking out of the bank, the bank manager let out a sigh of relief. Although 3000 yuan had been remitted to her before, he was afraid that it would still not be enough.

Tan Zhou took out his mobile phone and wanted to call his mother, wondering if his grandmother's condition had improved, but——

He seldom called, and the family didn't want to hear his voice.

After hesitating for a while at the intersection, he still put his phone in his pocket and walked slowly to the barber shop where Qi Chengliu was.

When Tan Zhou arrived, Qi Chengliu had just shaved his head and was standing in front of the mirror looking left and right.

Tan Zhou was taken aback when he saw the extremely short hair on his head, and even thought that this was not Qi Chengliu, so he wanted to look elsewhere.

Qi Chengliu saw Tan Zhou in the mirror, he turned his head to look at Tan Zhou, and raised his eyebrows triumphantly, "Are you handsome?"

Tan Zhou didn't answer. He was frowning and thinking about another question, and asked slowly: "Will it be cold if you cut it so short in winter?"

Qi Chengliu was stunned for a moment, and the barber was helping another female customer to apply the potion. When he heard it, he helped Qi Chengliu to answer, "No, didn't the handsome guy come here wearing a hat just now? The spirit of the person, the handsome guy's appearance is □□ old!"

Tan Zhou twitched the corner of his mouth and said calmly, "Is it done? Let's go."

Qi Chengliu quickly caught up with Tan Zhou, and shouted at the barber, "Thank you boss!"

"The handsome guy will come again next time!" the barber yelled outside the shop.

Qi Chengliu caught up with Tan Zhou, and grabbed his shoulders with an extremely unscrupulous look. He touched his head unaccustomed, and felt the cold wind sweeping above his head, "It's a bit cold."

"Wear a hat."

Qi Chengliu conveniently put the hat in his right hand on his head, and clicked his tongue comfortably, "It's much warmer."

Tan Zhou was speechless.

"Then go shopping for vegetables now?" Qi Chengliu looked at the intersection, "Crossing a road is the vegetable market."

Tan Zhou pulled away Qi Chengliu's hand from his shoulder, silently put his hand into the pocket of his padded jacket, and walked without saying a word.

Qi Chengliu walked for a while, as if about to break the silence, he found a topic, "What kind of food do you want to eat?"

"Eggplant." Tan Zhou said.

"anything else?"

Tan Zhou shook his head, "Not anymore."

Qi Chengliu looked at Tan Zhou with an inquiring expression, "Do you like eggplant?"

Tan Zhou thought for a while, and gave a vague answer, "Almost..."

"What about meat? What kind of meat do you like to eat?"

"I don't like meat."

Qi Chengliu saw Tan Zhou Zhou's thin and frail appearance, he stopped, sighed a few times, and persuaded earnestly, "How can you not eat meat, you can become stronger by eating meat."

Tan Zhou walked on his own, didn't stop, and didn't intend to tell Qi Chengliu the reason, so he said perfunctorily, "There's no way."

Qi Chengliu suddenly remembered something, his eyes lit up, "Stir-fried pork with eggplant!"

Tan Zhou stopped, turned around and looked at him without saying a word.

Qi Chengliu didn't listen to the persuasion and bought five catties of eggplants and two catties of meat, which were gone.

Tan Zhou looked at him like he was insane, and he would have known better if he didn't talk about it.

Qi Chengliu was carrying the bag, his intentions were too obvious, when he heard Tan Zhou say that he likes to eat eggplants, he immediately bought only eggplants, coupled with Tan Zhou's eyes at this time, his accustomed rough heart suddenly A little embarrassed, "...don't look at me like that."

Tan Zhou looked at the eggplant helplessly, "There are so many, if you can't finish it, it will go bad."

"No." Qi Chengliu replied immediately, "I'll practice my hands first."

"Then what do you eat?" Tan Zhou asked.

Qi Chengliu said as a matter of course: "Eggplant!"

Tan Zhou was completely powerless. He fell into silence and just walked with his head down.

Qi Chengliu's eyes became deep, and his eyes were fixed on the top of Tan Zhou's head, affectionate and doting: I will like what you like, you are so good, and what you like is also good, I want to reconcile with the good you like.

Qi Chengliu took a long leg, caught up with Tan Zhou, and walked behind Tan Zhou.
