slow heat

"Young Master Su, I'm homeless. You have to take me in..." In the middle of the night, Shen Jia, reeking of alcohol, knocked on the door of Su Zheng's house.

"Come in." At 01:30 in the morning, Su Zheng glanced at the hanging watch in the living room, and reached out to lead Shen Jia, who was leaning on the door frame and pretending to be poor, into the door.

"Where is Qiao Ran? It's so late, you're not at home?" Shen Jia wrinkled his nose, swayed left and right to change his slippers, hugged Su Zheng lazily, and put most of his body weight on Su Zheng's body. Moaning and chirping, "Leave you alone, alone in the empty boudoir? I'm not afraid that you will be unbearably lonely..."

"Sit down." Su Zheng pulled Shen Jia's two arms that were like octopus claws, and got Shen Jia, who was half awake and half drunk but [-]% drunk, to sit on the sofa. He went to the kitchen to pour a glass of water, stuffed To Shen Jia.

"Young Master Su, you said I'm full and I've got nothing to do?" Shen Jia didn't count, or took the opportunity to vent his anger. The glass hit the coffee table loudly, "Weak Water Three Thousands, me, why the hell do I have to act like a cow in front of a brat like him?!"

"Can't talk well?" Shen Jia cursed and moaned for a long time, but didn't get into the topic.But based on Su Zheng's understanding of him and Han Zichen, there must have been a quarrel.As for the reason for the quarrel, with Shen Jia's big face, there are very few things that can make him really angry.It was even more strange when he was with Han Zichen.There was only one thing, and that was the affairs of Han Zichen's family.

"Where's Qiao Ran?" Shen Jia didn't know if she was really stupefied, talking in a nonsensical manner.

"Go to work." Su Zheng was not in a hurry. When Shen Jia came, he knew that he would not want to sleep in the second half of the night, so he followed Shen Jia's words and asked what he said.

"How is Qiao Ran treating you? Don't tell me, I can tell that he treats you well. Just like I treat our little Chenchen..." Shen Jia talked to himself, sitting on the sofa and frowning , beckoned to Su Zheng who was sitting on the side, not approaching him, "White-eyed wolves, they are all a pack of white-eyed wolves."

"Sober up." Su Zheng took the water glass that Shen Jia ignored, moved to sit next to Shen Jia, and half-forced him to drink a few sips of ice water, "Speak well."

"I'm not a fucking woman, do I care about that shit?!" Shen Jia pushed the cup in Su Zheng's hand, water spilled out of the cup and splashed on the clothes of the two of them, "What age is this? What kind of parents' orders and matchmaker's words are you going to give to my young master? Could it be that I really have to marry him with eight sedan chairs?"

"I'll answer the phone." When Qiao Ran was on the night shift, Su Zheng never turned his phone to silent, and there was an incoming call notification tone when he was sleeping.At this moment, the mobile phone rang non-stop in the bedroom.

"Don't pick it up. Pick up the fart, black lights are blind, who is looking for you in a hurry?!" Shen Jia stretched out his hand and pulled Su Zheng.Without counting his subordinates, he pulled violently, and Su Zheng bumped against the corner of the sofa unprepared.

"Shut up." Su Zheng was in pain. Like Han Zichen, he twisted Shen Jia's ear, and as expected, he saw him lying on the sofa obediently, and stopped tugging, but his voice was very low. I can't really hear the chanting.After a few steps, the phone didn't pick up.Su Zheng glanced at the missed call, and dialed back directly, "Looking for me?"

"Did Shen Jia look for you?" Since Qiao Ran moved to live and eat with Su Zheng, Su Zheng's life has become more and more regular by Qiao Ran.Stay up at one or two o'clock in the morning, unless there is something big.

"How do you know?" Su Zheng glanced at the phone again to make sure that there were no missed calls other than Qiao Ran, and he was a little puzzled.

"Zichen is here with me." Qiao Ran glanced at the person who was led by him from the registration room.No matter how sophisticated he is, he is still a child who has not finished college.

"Shen Jia is here with me, let him rest assured." Su Zheng wanted to say something else, but when he heard the sound behind him, he turned around to look, and saw that it was Shen Jia who followed the sound from the living room, and rushed towards him with bared teeth and claws, and was about to come and snatch it. Cell phone still talking.

"Brother Qiao Ran, I am causing you trouble." Han Zichen did not ask Qiao Ran to make this call.It was not the first time that he and Shen Jia had a quarrel over the same thing.Every time before, Shen Jia pulled her face down and begged for peace.This time, Han Zichen did not expect that Shen Jia slammed the door and left regardless.Han Zichen felt uncomfortable. He was alone in City A, and besides Shen Jia, he had no other relatives.This kind of thing can't be opened up with friends in school.By chance, he ran to the hospital where Qiao Ran worked to try his luck.

"It's so late, it's not safe for you to go back alone." Qiao Ran poured a cup of hot water for Han Zichen, and the child has said these two sentences since just now, "If you don't mind the smell of disinfectant here, Stay with me on the night shift."

"..." Han Zichen didn't make a sound, but took a cup of hot water to warm his hands.

"When I finish my shift tomorrow morning," Qiao Ran looked at the silent Han Zichen, and reached out to stroke his head, "Come back with me."

"Little brat whose hair hasn't grown yet, who wants him to care?!" In Su Zheng's room, Shen Jia was still spitting.Obviously, he was extremely dissatisfied with Su Zheng's behavior of informing the enemy.

"Have you had enough trouble?!" Su Zheng glanced at Shen Jia, who was sitting at the end of the bed, holding a [-]% new pillow in his hand as a punching bag, his voice was a little colder than before.

"Young Master Su, you beat me..."

"Tell me, what's the matter with you and Zichen." Su Zheng got up from the bed, and now he lay back without changing his clothes.He reached out and patted the seat beside him. Like a stray dog, Shen Jia hugged the pillow and occupied the seat that should belong to Qiao Ran.

"It's not about going home for the New Year." Shen Jia, who was talking nonsense just now, leaned against the bedside and chatted with Su Zheng like a normal person.

"What are you worried about?" Su Zheng hit the nail on the head, and Shen Jia quarreled more than ten times with Han Zichen about meeting his parents.On weekdays, he would always say that he didn't care, that he didn't need anything, but in the end, he forced Han Zichen to take him home to meet his father-in-law and mother-in-law.

"Young Master Su, if it's you, don't you think so?" It's rare for Shen Jia to be serious and talk to Su Zheng.But these words, like a knife, were torn apart, making a big gap in Su Zheng's heavy self-protection layer.

"..." Shen Jia didn't finish what he said, but Su Zheng had already heard it clearly.He really wanted to refute, but he couldn't think of a single word.

"I know, I forced him to do this. It was me, Shen Jia, who was selfish and didn't think about Xiaochen." Su Zheng remained silent, and Shen Jia knew what he was thinking.To put it bluntly, they are just brothers and sisters who are suffering from the same disease, but I am willing. I want him in this life. He hurts and I accompany him when he hurts. He. However, the person around him can only be me."

"Give him some time." Apart from this, Su Zheng couldn't find anything else to say.

"Time, how much time is there between me and him?" Shen Jia smiled bitterly and helplessly, it was not like him, "Do you know how popular Xiaochen is in school?"

"..."

"It's not that I don't have confidence in myself." Shen Jia didn't wait for Su Zheng to speak, and continued to talk to himself, "But just because I'm a man just like him. On this point, I have no chance of winning."

"Ahem..." The moment he opened the door, there was a cloud of smoke, and Qiao Ran thought he had opened the wrong door and returned to the wrong home.Knowing Su Zheng for so long, he has never seen Su Zheng smoke, and he doesn't know that Su Zheng can smoke.So, when Qiao Ran saw Su Zheng sitting in the living room, guarding an ashtray full of cigarette butts, with a cigarette in his hand, Qiao Ran didn't care about Han Zichen who was brought home by him.

"Come back?" Shen Jia told Su Zheng many things that he had never said before last night.Tired of talking, I fell asleep at four o'clock in the morning.After Su Zheng settled the people down, he lit a cigarette in the living room.As Qiao Ran knew, he was not a heavy smoker, nor had he ever smoked.It's just that there is nothing I can do about it.It was as if someone had built a wall in his chest, making him feel oppressed.

"Young Master Su." Han Zichen never thought of this scene.He stood in the porch, greeted him, and didn't go inside.

"Yeah. You go, he's sleeping in the room." Su Zheng didn't turn his head, but just responded and told Han Zichen to go find Shen Jia.It is said that there is a fight at the head of the bed and at the end of the bed. These two people quarrel, and they never have to come forward to reconcile.

"Follow me to the study." Qiao Ran opened all the windows in the living room, and the smoke dissipated a lot. "I have something to tell you."

"Qiao Ran, have you thought about the future?" I remembered this sentence, before I agreed to date Qiao Ran that day, I asked this question.

"What did Shen Jia and you talk about?" Han Zichen more or less told Qiao Ran about him and Shen Jia during the night in the hospital.Although she didn't explain many things thoroughly, Qiao Ran was older than Han Zichen and had more experience.Even listening and guessing, I almost know everything.

"It's nothing." It was not the first time Shen Jia complained to himself.But just this time, Su Zheng took it to heart.Maybe, times have changed, after all, my current situation is also different from those times.

"Xiao Zheng, you never lie." Qiao Ran went to hold Su Zheng's hand, and the cool temperature of his fingertips spread to his heart along his blood.This person was so indifferent that Qiao Ran felt that he couldn't catch him.

"Qiao Ran, we are not suitable." Su Zheng's voice was very soft, but every word fell into Qiao Ran's heart.

"..." There was no sign, no defense.

"Qiao Ran, shall we break up?" The pleading tone made people want to feel pity.
