slow heat

For Su Zheng, Chinese New Year is a very common thing.It feels like any other public holiday.There are no relatives to leave, and there are no unavoidable dinners.Today is the fifth day of the Lunar New Year, and CBlue is closed for the holiday. According to the usual practice, the fifteenth day has passed.Su Zheng was alone at home, flipping through a book, waiting for Qiao Ran to come back from get off work in the hospital.

Ding dong.Doorbell rang.

"..." Ever since Shen Jia gave Qiao Ran the spare key of Su Zheng's house, Qiao Ran never used the doorbell again.It's not yet four o'clock, and it's still some time before he gets off work.Su Zheng didn't know who it was, and the guard downstairs didn't make a video call, so he could only open the door with a hint of doubt.

"..." The four looked at each other, and the original plan to ask the teacher for the crime turned into a wordless silence.

"Aunt Wang." Su Zheng looked at Aunt Wang who was standing at the door, staring straight at himself, frowned, "Come in and sit down."

"..." Aunt Wang followed Su Zheng into the door, and sat down on the sofa without saying a word.His hands were clenched tightly, whether it was nervousness or some other emotion.

"Aunt Wang, drink some water." Su Zheng poured a glass of warm water and put it in front of Aunt Wang.

"This is Qiao Ran's scarf. It was left at home on New Year's Day." Aunt Wang took out a black and gray checked cashmere scarf from her bag and put it on the coffee table. "He lives with you now, as I said right."

"Yeah." Su Zheng responded, not knowing what to say or not to say, so he could only selectively remain silent.If Aunt Wang can find this place and bluntly say that Qiao Ran lives with her now, then she knows more than that.

"I'm here, I don't mean anything else." Aunt Wang's voice was not high, but there was a bit of trembling characteristic of trying to control her emotions, "I just want to talk to you calmly."

"..." Su Zheng didn't say a word, his current mood was no better than Aunt Wang's.If Aunt Wang could point her nose at him and scold him or beat him when she opened the door just now, it would make Su Zheng's life better than it is now.

"I came to you without telling Uncle Chen. I haven't told him about you and Qiao Ran yet." Aunt Wang reached out to get the water glass that Su Zheng put on the tea table.His hands trembled a little, and he took a few shakes before holding the water glass.

"Aunt Wang, Qiao Ran will be back in a while. About me and him, we'll wait..." Su Zheng understood the meaning of Aunt Wang's words, but she still kept it from Uncle Chen.I came here today just to see if there is any way out.If Su Zheng could break up with Qiao Ran, then Uncle Chen didn't need to know about it at all, so he got angry and became angry.In this way, Su Zheng can continue to celebrate the New Year and have a place to stay.

"No." Aunt Wang interrupted Su Zheng's unfinished sentence with a trembling voice, "I came here to hear what you said. What you mean is what Qiao Ran means."

"I won't leave him, even if you and Uncle Chen can't agree." Su Zheng's voice was very soft, but with unshakable firmness, "Unless, one day Qiao Ran doesn't want me anymore. As long as he speaks, I won't pester."

"We will not approve, and it is impossible to agree." Aunt Wang clenched the water glass in her hand, and she was still holding on to a little fantasy. She thought too much and misunderstood Qiao Ran and Su Zheng.After all, it's not a big deal for two people to live together.Now that housing prices are so expensive, it is normal to share rent.But these are nothing but self-deception.Not to mention that when I went downstairs to deliver the scarf that day, I saw my son and Su Zheng hugging and kissing in the car, it was the interaction between the two of them on New Year's Eve, how could she, a mother, not see some clues.Even if Qiao Ran was his adopted son from the orphanage, he had brought him up through hard work.What kind of temper, as a mother, she knows it all too well.

"..." Su Zheng followed Aunt Wang to his feet, and walked him to the door silently.The moment the elevator door closed, Su Zheng's eyes were covered with a layer of mist.

"Dr. Qiao, someone is looking for you." Qiao Ran, who had just finished handing over with her colleagues on the night shift, was about to change her clothes and head home when the nurse on duty opened the door and yelled.

"Mom, why are you here?" Qiao Ran, who was putting on a down jacket, followed the voice and looked in surprise.

"Slap!" Aunt Wang endured this slap when she was at Su Zheng's house, and finally threw it out after seeing her unfilial son.After all, Su Zheng is an outsider, no matter how angry she is, she can't vent her anger on an outsider.Qiao Ran is different.This slap should be taken by him as it should be.

"Mom..." Qiao Ran was stunned by Aunt Wang's slap for a few seconds, but he soon understood.Because he and Su Zheng were the only ones who could make his amiable mother so angry.Qiao Ran closed the office door and locked it.Looking at Aunt Wang, she couldn't say anything.

"Don't call me mom. Do you still see me as a mom?!" Aunt Wang looked at Qiao Ran, and the scene of him and Su Zheng kissing in the car would appear before her eyes.Also, at Su Zheng's place just now, the few words he said to himself, "If you still have me and your father in your eyes, you won't do such a thing that is out of order!"

"Mom." The laws of nature cannot tolerate it. Qiao Ran never thought that liking Su Zheng and wanting to be with Su Zheng suddenly became something that cannot be tolerated by the laws of nature.

"This is a hospital, I'll save face for you." Aunt Wang took a deep breath, trying to control her emotions, "Your father doesn't know about this. I'll give you a day to deal with the relationship with him. "

On this day, Qiao Ran came back a little late and missed the time for dinner.Open the door, the living room is pitch black.Quiet and silent, as if the house was empty and empty.

"Are you back? Why don't you turn on the lights?" Su Zheng, holding a few takeaway boxes in his hand, stood at the door that was not closed.When I got off the elevator, I thought a thief had entered the house.Su Zheng put the things on the counter in the kitchen, walked over, and approached Qiao Ran who should have just entered the house and was still wearing a down jacket.

"Where did you go?" Qiao Ran's voice was not as cold as it used to be.He stretched out his hand to hold Su Zheng's cold wrist, and violently threw the defenseless man onto the sofa.Without further ado, he pressed on.Regardless of Su Zheng's struggle, he grabbed Su Zheng's other hand, raised it above his head, and bit Su Zheng's lips like crazy, the smell of blood spread between his teeth.

"I went downstairs and got some takeaway." Qiao Ran's abnormality made Su Zheng give up struggling and just passively endured it.After Qiao Ran finished venting and regained his senses, Su Zheng opened his mouth slowly.

"I thought you were gone." Qiao Ran suddenly let go of Su Zheng's wrist, her voice was incomprehensible pain, like a lost child, she hugged Su Zheng helplessly, and said softly with.

"I won't go." Su Zheng moved his wrist that was pinched and hurt by Qiao Ran. How much effort this man had to use just now to restrain himself.The posture was uncomfortable, but he still hugged Qiao Ran back, and said softly, "Unless this is your request."

"..." This time, Qiao Ran kissed very lightly and softly.It seems that if it is a little heavier, it will be broken.

"Are you in a better mood?" Su Zheng chuckled lightly, as if he wasn't the one who was brought to Xingshi's house by Aunt Wang this afternoon to question him, "Can we eat? I'm a little hungry."

"It's much better. Sit down, and I'll get it done." Qiao Ran turned on the light in the living room, took out all the takeaways Su Zheng ordered from the box, and arranged them on a plate.

"What's wrong with your face?" The light was not turned on in the living room just now, and Su Zheng didn't see Qiao Ran's slightly red and swollen side face.Now with the light, he could see clearly.Seeing the scarf left on the coffee table inadvertently, Su Zheng walked to the kitchen in a few steps, opened the refrigerator, took an ice pack, and stuck it on Qiao Ran's face.

"Aren't you hungry? You can get full just by looking at me?" Qiao Ran held an ice pack against his face in one hand, and picked up food for Su Zheng with chopsticks in the other, urging him to eat.It's already past eight o'clock, and it's already past dinner time.Irregular meal times are a taboo for people with a bad stomach.

"Aunt Wang brought your scarf over in the afternoon. She said it was left at home on the New Year's Day." While eating, Su Zheng told Qiao Ran what happened in the afternoon without reservation.

"Speaking so relentlessly, no wonder I have to be slapped." Qiao Ran twitched her lips after hearing Su Zheng's words.But because of the pain in his face, he didn't smile, "It turns out that I received this slap for you, so it's not an injustice."

"Is it all right?" "Is it all right with your face, is it all right if I say so.Su Zheng wanted to know if everything was okay.

"There is always something to face." Qiao Ran didn't seem to worry about what was about to happen and what he had to face. "With you by my side, it doesn't matter how difficult it is."

"Qiao Ran, if..." If one day, you can't bear it, you can't hold on, you can tell me.As long as you say, I will let go.This is what Su Zheng wanted to say, but Qiao Ran interrupted him without thinking.It seemed that he knew what Su Zheng wanted to say.

"No if." The moment he entered the door just now, Qiao Ran thought that Su Zheng chose to leave again.He never wanted to experience that feeling of something falling from the apex of his heart again in his life.

"Okay." Originally, when Su Zheng proposed to break up last time, the two of them talked about it.Now, it is also something that the two of them expected.What should come, always should come.Running away is not the solution to the problem.

"Tomorrow, I have to go home." After the meal, Qiao Ran clung to Su Zheng who was doing the dishes, "Dad doesn't know about us yet. I have to go back and tell him about this in person."

"Tomorrow, I won't be with you." Although we have decided to advance and retreat together, it would be better for Qiao Ran to take the lead in tomorrow's battle, "I'll wait for you at home."
