Heart fire

A news column about people's livelihood is being played on the TV. In the screen, a female reporter wearing glasses holds a microphone and introduces to the audience in front of the TV with an uncontrollable excited tone: "Behind me is the camp of the special fire brigade directly under the provincial government. It will be here soon, and now please follow our camera and watch this unique commendation ceremony together.”

The TV was hung a bit high, and Xi Yang was sitting on the head of the bed with a cup of honey water at just the right temperature, sipping while watching TV, his slightly raised chin made the line of his neck longer and more graceful, and his Adam's apple Below, a scar that has healed but is still bright red is clearly visible. The water mist from the humidifier gently spread around him, moistening every mouthful of fresh air he inhaled.

The tracheotomy caused some damage to the vocal cords, Xi Yang drank the water slowly, and said in a somewhat dry voice to the busy mother Xi: "Mom, take a break, wait a while Let Tu Ke and the others help clean it up."

There are too many things. During the period of hospitalization, Tu Ke committed crimes every now and then, sending some wall breaking machines, yogurt machines, multi-functional stewing pots that can cook soup and porridge to the ward, and various flowers at random. Dexi's mother once thought that she had made a mistake, but soon she discovered that no matter how delicate and delicious the liquid food made by these intelligent machines is, Xi Yang will lose interest after only a few mouthfuls. The noodle soup or small wontons that were delivered once a time were all eaten clean, and they were picky after eating. Either they thought the soup was bland or the stuffing was missing. He seemed more delicate in front of him than when he was not a soldier.

I don't know how that child is so young but has such a good temper. Every time he hears no complaints, he just laughs and says that he will make you a stronger taste and make big soup dumplings for you when you are well.

"How can I let people deliver things and do things at the same time." Mother Xi sighed, closed the already full suitcase, brought a kettle to add some warm water to Xi Yang's cup, sat down beside him, and accompanied him. He watched TV together.

"What you are seeing now is the West Highland dog that helped firefighters find and rescue the injured in the yacht explosion incident at the beginning of last month. Next, the leaders of the public security fire brigade will wear a big red flower symbolizing honor on it, and To issue a certificate of honor to its owner."

"This is the treatment only police dogs have, and it is a precedent in Beilin and even the whole country!"

Wearing a silk red flower on her neck that was bigger than her head, Xiao Bian, who had one leg limped, still had the same expression as before, she was not willing to talk to her, and she was very embarrassing.Mother Xi looked at it for a while, and said with some surprise: "This is the dog that saved you? It's very similar to Rourou."

Rourou was a stray dog ​​that Xi Yang’s family adopted when he was in junior high school, a bichon frize that was bred together, and was hit to death by a car while taking a walk within two years.Just as Xi Yang was about to speak, the door of the ward was suddenly pushed open a gap. He and his mother turned their heads at the same time, and saw a head with short hair sticking to the scalp cautiously poking in from the outside.

"Instructor, auntie?" Zhou Tong smiled silly and embarrassed as if he had done something bad and was caught on the spot.

"Tong Tong is here, come in quickly." Seeing him, Xi's mother quickly got up to greet him, but Xi Yang slipped off the pillow in an instant, pulled the folded quilt over his head, and turned his back to ignore Zhou Tong. .

"Is there anything else to clean up? I'll come." Zhou Tong asked as he walked to the bed, bent down, and whispered to Xi Yang through the quilt: "Don't cover it, the air doesn't circulate, it's not good for your respiratory tract .”

Here it comes again... Mama Xi looked helplessly at her son lying on the bed, and patted his exposed legs that were still wearing protective gear. "Oh, did you hear that? Don't be bored." Then he said to Zhou Tong: "Everything is almost packed, don't worry, drink some water, rest for a while before we go, I will go to the doctor to sign the discharge form."

Any fool knows that this is giving them a chance to be alone.But Zhou Tong didn't dare to sit on the hospital bed until 5 minutes after Xi's mother had left. He tore off the quilt and kissed Xi Yang's disheveled hair. Said: "Fortunately, this program was recorded and broadcast, otherwise we would have seen Xiao Bian chasing Jiu Er all over the playground right away."

He really deserves to be Xiao Bian who is fearless. After leaving for such a long time, he dared to bully the wolf and green police dog in the team as soon as he came back. He really looks like the master...Xi Yang moved the corner of his mouth, Finally opened his eyes and looked at Zhou Tong: "What are you doing here? Where is Tu Ke?"

Zhou Tong walked in a hurry, and the army green T-shirt was wet with sweat, clinging to his well-defined chest muscles.

"Tu Dui quarreled with Wen Yue, left home, no, ran away from the shed..."

"......why?"

"This...it's a long story." Zhou Tong sighed, first took advantage of Xi Yang's inattention, and quickly stole a kiss on his mouth, and then said: "The two of them went to buy you a wheelchair yesterday, Team Tu insisted on choosing an electric model that can sit and lie down, with variable speed and horn, and equipped with a crawler-type stair climber. Wen Yue disagreed, saying that you only need it temporarily, not sitting for a lifetime, and also said... "

"What else?" Xi Yang asked curiously.

Zhou Tong laughed out loud.

"I also said that you are younger than Team Tu, and you may not be able to use it when he uses it. Team Tu got angry, and he didn't buy the wheelchair. He insisted on packing up and going to the cadre nursing home to spend his old age. Let Wen Yue who is young I'm looking for someone, so I can't come to pick you up."

Xi Yang: "..."

Walking around in the corridor, I greeted and thanked several attending doctors and bed nurses, and when I returned to the ward, Zhou Tong had already carried all the big and small bags on his back, and pushed Xi Yang to go out.

"I just wanted to go out to find you. Let's go, auntie, I bought vegetables, and I can make lunch for you when I go back early. Recently, I have learned a few new Yunling dishes. Can you try it for me, hehe."

"Hey, hey, carry the things for me, it's really hard work for you." Mother Xi reached out to take it, but Zhou Tong didn't even let her carry her own bag.

"It's okay, auntie, I'll do it, this weight is not as heavy as the equipment we use for training, right instructor."

Xi Yang has been unhappy since last weekend, it's useless for Ren Zhoutong to please him, he just refuses to talk to him.Xi's mother didn't understand what was wrong with Xi Yang, and felt sorry for poor Zhou Tong, so she planned to go to the supermarket after dinner at home, leaving the two young people to solve the problem by themselves, but Zhou Tong only invited It's half a day off, and I have to go back to training in the afternoon. After washing the dishes, I'm going to leave after I settle down with Xi Yang.

Waiting for him to tell him everything in detail, turning around step by step, and reluctantly coming out of the bedroom, Mother Xi sent him outside the door, and secretly said to him: "Yang Yang was used to me and his father since he was a child." Yes, he has a very bad temper, so please don’t take it to heart when Auntie tells about him later.”

Zhou Tong didn't have much experience in dealing with elders, especially when facing Xi Yang's parents, he was more nervous than meeting a national leader, and he didn't know where to put his hands.

"No, no, thank you, auntie, that... don't say the trainer, it's me... um... that is, anyway, I made him unhappy, I will take care of it apologized to him."

Mother Xi knew the self-evident relationship between the two children, and accepted it by default, but it may take some time to adapt, and she is not much better than Zhou Tong when it comes to nervousness.

"Okay, okay...Yang Yang's grandmother is getting old and can't live without her. I have to go back in a few days, but Yang Yang is like this, I really don't feel relieved. In the future... "

"Leave it to me." Zhou Tong understood immediately, rubbed his nose shyly, and every word he uttered was so simple and sincere that it moved people. "I can cook, I can do housework, I can make money, and I have the strength to carry him on my back. Even if his legs are always bad... Bah, bah, anyway, I will take good care of him, don't worry, auntie."

After this experience, Mother Xi found that she seemed to be more sentimental than before and shed tears easily.She quickly calmed down her emotions, and said hoarsely to Zhou Tong: "Don't worry, Auntie can rest assured that you are here, go back quickly, the army is disciplined, and I won't waste your time."

After saying goodbye, Zhou Tong turned around, but heard his mother push the door that was about to close, and stopped him again. "Yes, Tongtong"

"There are a few clothes in the bathroom. I think they are all bigger than Yang Yang's. They should be yours, right?"

"Ah?" Zhou Tong couldn't react in time, and stood there in a daze.

Mother Xi said again: "When I came back to do the laundry a few days ago, I washed them together. There was a pen and some small change in my pocket. I put them away. Do you want them for you?"

After graduating from elementary school, no one has washed Zhou Tong's clothes. What's more terrible is that, in this way, not only did he stay overnight, but he was also in the bathroom...wouldn't all the dirty clothes be exposed?

I don't know if those toys in the drawer have been found, and Zhou Tong, who was still kept in the dark by adults, wanted to find a crack in the ground and sneak in on the spot. He blushed and quickly slipped away, saying while running: "No, no ...Auntie, that, I'm too late...Leaving first..."

...

A week passed quickly, and it was Saturday again in a blink of an eye. Zhou Tong drove Mama Xi to the airport and sent her to the flight back to Yunling.

By the time we got home, the sun was already in the west, embedded in the edge of the powder blue sky like a salted egg yolk that was about to melt.At the end of July, the heat was strong, and the slippers at home were replaced by comfortable and breathable linen ones. There was iced mung bean soup with lilies in the refrigerator, and the washed sheets and clothes were drying on the balcony. The evening wind gently opened the hanging curtains , taking the opportunity to sprinkle the afterglow on the shiny floor, the whole room is filled with the fragrance of laundry detergent, as well as the smell of watermelon and mint in summer.

There was no one in the bedroom, and the familiar temperature remained on the soft bedding.Zhou Tong took off his shirt, walked into the bathroom, hugged Xi Yang from behind who had just taken a shower and his hair was still dripping, rubbed his ears and asked, "Why didn't you wait for me? Can you do it yourself?"

Xi Yang shrunk his neck, turned around and pushed Zhou Tong without much effort: "It's so prickly, it's all sweat, why don't you hurry to wash it."

"Keep it for a week on purpose, and wash it after shaving." Zhou Tong stood in front of the sink to prevent people from leaving, reached out and took out the razor and shaving cream from the shelf next to the mirror, and put them in Xi Yang's hand . "The trainer must count on what he says. I have been waiting for a long time."

Xi Yang turned his head away from Zhou Tong, and the expression on his face clearly said "I'm still angry, please coax me".

"Don't be angry, baby." Zhou Tong put his arms around Xi Yang's waist and moved his face closer. "I just saw her carrying such a heavy thing by herself, and I just helped her out. During the hospitalization, I caused her a lot of trouble. I really feel very sorry, but it is absolutely impossible to like her. I am wronged... ..”

"How can it be impossible? Didn't Du Wei just get along with his nurse in charge of the bed?" Xi Yang put his hands behind his back and bit his lips angrily after speaking.

"This... Brother Du Wei is a straight man, it's normal. I'm different, I'm already a paper clip."

"You used to be a straight man, if you break it casually, you will go straight back!"

"..." Zhou Tong looked at Xi Yang speechlessly. "Instructor, you are becoming more and more unreasonable."

As soon as these words came out, Xi Yang immediately wanted to say, look, you regret it, don't you?Tired of it?It's a pity that before he had time to speak, he was carried onto the countertop of the sink.

"It's so cute. The more you are like this, the more I like you. What should I do? In fact, I don't want to coax you well at all, so just be angry, keep on being born, and I'll keep coaxing you, okay?"

Thinking about it carefully, it is true that as long as Zhou Tong thinks about it, there are some ways that people can't resist.Xi Yang's ears were a little red, and he couldn't push away the dog who was kissing him forcefully, so he could only hide and complain in a low voice: "I'm stabbed to death, get up quickly, and shave first."

The new stubble on the young boy's face was hard and short, densely packed like weeds growing wantonly.The foam produced by the shaving cream is fine and dense, and there is a faint smell of juniper berry when applied on the chin. Xi Yang took out the blade soaked in hot water, supported Zhou Tong's chin, and followed the texture of the beard growth bit by bit. Shaving, moving slowly and carefully, for fear that if my left hand is not skilled enough, it will scratch this handsome and sexy face of his little boyfriend.

At the beginning, Zhou Tong was still very cooperative, but he persisted for less than a minute, and then he kissed and rubbed the foam on Xi Yang's face, and then touched this and rubbed his hands restlessly, which made Xi Yang feel uncomfortable. Because Xi Yang didn't hold the saber firmly, he accidentally made a small full bead of blood on his chin.

"Don't move around, don't you hate it." Xi Yang frowned slightly, took out a tissue to press the wound that was so small that it was almost impossible to find it, and asked after blaming, "Does it hurt?"

"It hurts, but I'm so excited." Zhou Tong stared obsessively at the lips that were close in front of his eyes, restraining his desire with impatience and enjoyment. "Is this what we look like when we're old? A white beard."

Xi Yang thought for a while, then made some foam in the palm of his hand, first applied it to Zhou Tong, and then turned his head to the mirror to apply it to himself.

"This should be."

Even the eyebrows of the two people in the mirror turned white.Zhou Tong laughed so hard that his shoulders trembled, and Xi Yang couldn't help laughing too. The little temper in his heart disappeared in an instant, so he straightened Zhou Tong's face, and took the initiative to send him up to kiss him until he was out of breath. Zhou Tong, who was always worried about his physical condition, was too nervous to continue.

After shaving off his beard and washing his face, and then patted on the charming aftershave, the half-cooked little wild wolf turned back into a little puppy whose eyebrows were so fresh.Zhou Tong was pulled by Xi Yang with the waistband of his trousers hooked in front of him for a closer look, then he raised the corners of his mouth and asked quite proudly, "Are you satisfied, brother?"

Feng Shui took turns, and it would be dishonest to change Xi Yang's hand now.

"Not particularly satisfied." He deliberately said calmly, his left hand was a little clumsy, and it took him a while to untie the 22-year-old birthday present he had prepared for Zhou Tong last year.

"I don't have one here, and neither do you."

Zhou Tong smiled: "Okay, you have the final say."

The hot water soaks every pore and every hair lazily and softly.Zhou Tong was drenched all over, and without drying himself, he carried Xi Yang's bathing stool back to the sink, changed positions with him, and sat on it easily while propping up the countertop, with one leg hanging down and the other stepping on it. The edge of the stool is stubborn and frank.

It's so thick that a jar of shaving cream doesn't seem like enough.

Xi Yang sat on the stool, casually chatting with Zhou Tong while shaving.

"What have you been up to lately?"

"Didn't the Propaganda Section of the Headquarters ask us to hold an open day before the end of the summer vacation? It just ended two days ago. Teacher Xiang and Sister Fangfang asked you, Chenchen, do you remember? He also came. Oh yes , and there is good news, brother Siqi is going to be a father."

"Really? Go back and help me congratulate him. How is Duwei recovering?"

"Very well, in love."

"Have Tu Ke reconciled with Wen Yue?"

"Uh, it seems not yet, Wen Yue is still coaxing..."

"Has Team Zhou adapted himself? Can the copywriting work be done well? I can..."

"Hello!" Xi Yang raised his head suddenly while talking, and "hit" the guy who just hit him on the face with the hand that was supporting Zhou Tong's hip bone. "Be honest, be careful that the knife will disappear."

Zhou Tong propped his hands on his sides, tilted his head a little arrogantly, and blinked innocently with hidden smiling eyes.

"It has its own thoughts as soon as it sees you, so you can't blame me."

Just like that, straight up and down, and the front and back were shaved clean.Zhou Tong leaned over, scratched the bridge of Xi Yang's nose who was staring blankly somewhere, and asked him, "Looks good?"

Xi Yang's white T-shirt had a lot of foam on it, which was speckled and intriguing.

"Without Fuzzy looks bigger."

Zhou Tong sighed unexpectedly, closed his eyes, panting unevenly: "Don't touch."

Xi Yang didn't listen and kept asking, "Then do you want to kiss?"

"No...the doctor said, you are still recovering...you can't choke..."

"Then don't (can't write) it in my mouth."

"...I'm [-]% not going to be able to resist."

"Then just do it."

"Your knees, you can't kneel..."

"Is it okay to lie on your side?"

"It'll hit your arm..."

Xi Yang looked up at Zhou Tong.

"But I want it, Brother Tongtong give it to me quickly."

Why is this man so deadly?The eyes were filled with clear and cold water, and then turned into thick honey that couldn't be melted.Zhou Tong gave up and surrendered, jumped off the sink, carried Xi Yang back to the bedroom, and helped him solve it once with his hands and mouth. He thought this would be able to send him away, but later he didn't know what was going on, so he went from From this posture to that posture, from this angle to that angle, from what was agreed to go in without using only hands, to finally using all the messy things that should be moved and shouldn’t be moved, and moved carefully for a long time, directly on the Completed the day's rehabilitation training on the bed.

It turns out that the appearance of not screaming can make people lose control so much.

It was late at night, Xi Yang fell asleep, and Zhou Tong was left tossing and turning, so depressed that he couldn't sleep, no matter how I thought about it, there was a faint sadness of being cheated by a bad brother...
