Released

On this sunny morning, Lu Xiangyang stood on the balcony covered with quilts and sheets, wanting to jump downstairs for the nth time.

He even wanted to post a post titled "What's it like to be crazy about drinking to your crush."

Why is it so difficult to be a human being.

"Ha chirp."

There was a sneezing sound from inside the house.Lu Xiangyang followed the sound and looked back. Through the glass door of the balcony, he saw Zhou Xi slowly opening his eyes.

The two looked at each other through a glass door.

At this time, it seems that something should be said.

Lu Xiangyang clenched his fists anxiously.

You can't ask what happened to us last night.

"..." Zhou Xi broke the silence first, he patted the cushion of the small sofa, "Give me a hand, my legs are numb."

When he spoke, he had a nasty voice.

Only then did Lu Xiangyang react belatedly, Zhou Xi took off his sweater jacket and covered him up, but instead he stayed in the room freezing all night.

The morning in late autumn is very cool.The cotton city is close to the sea, the weather is played almost randomly, the nodes of the season transition are blurred quickly, and the decision to change from a thin coat to a padded jacket is almost overnight.

"!——Why didn't you go back last night!" Lu Xiangyang rushed in anxiously and helped him up, forgetting what he wanted to ask, "What are you doing here..."

Zhou Xi gave him a meaningful look, and he frowned involuntarily as he felt the subtle pain of numbness in his leg continuously.

He originally wanted to tell Lu Xiangyang one by one, but the thought was fleeting, so he gave up.

"I can't go." Zhou Xi shrugged innocently, "The phone is out of battery, I... can't go down your stairs."

The light in the corridor is broken, it seems that there is such a thing.

Lu Xiangyang's mind flashed past, all of which were Zhou Xi's eyes that were distracted in the dark night.

It's pitch black and there's nothing to focus on.

"Blame me, I drank too much." Lu Xiangyang said angrily, "Wait for me, I'll make you some hot tea."

After a night of cold, Zhou Xi had already shown signs of successfully catching a cold. Every time he sneezed, he would turn his back, stiff and polite.

"It's so cold." Zhou Xi sniffed and sighed softly.

"You are really..." Lu Xiangyang stood by the pot and said while stirring ginger tea, "I have a hard body, and I don't get sick a few times a year. Why are you freezing yourself?"

Zhou Xi covered his nose with a piece of paper, blew carefully and said, "You still have so many orders, just in case."

The heat was steaming on the face, and the spiciness of ginger pierced out of the rising water vapor, and the pain in my heart flustered.

In fact, Lu Xiangyang had a dream last night.He dreamed that when his body was cold, there was bright sunshine coming from the sky, and the haze behind him disappeared. He was facing the boundless sea of ​​flowers, and the wind was blowing from afar, with the smell of mountains and forests.

In a long dream, he could vaguely see a figure swaying in front of him, not sure whether it was real or not. The man stretched out his hand to embrace him, warm as it seemed, and comforted him repeatedly, saying in a low voice, I am here, and I am here.

Lu Xiangyang tried his best to raise his head to see what was going on, but he woke up from the dream.

When he opened his eyes, he saw the sun shining on his face and Zhou Xi's beautiful chin.

"Drink it." Lu Xiangyang brought out the ginger tea and put it in front of him, "while it's hot."

The ginger tea is boiled until it is transparent in color, and it is served steaming hot in a porcelain bowl, exuding a thin pungent scent in the coolness of late autumn.

Zhou Xi heard it, and showed a rare expression of resistance.

"..." Master Zhou took a step back to the edge of the sofa very sincerely, "I don't want to drink."

"Huh? This is not spicy." Lu Xiangyang suddenly realized when he saw the firmness in the other party's eyes, "Really, I put sugar."

Zhou Xi dubiously moved back and looked into the bowl again.

"Here." Lu Xiangyang sat down, scooped it up with a spoon and tasted it first, "It's not spicy."

The two stared at the spoon in unison.

Boss Lu scooped up another spoon to cool it down, and handed it to Zhou Xi's mouth: "Listen to me, just take a couple of sips to drive away the cold?"

Zhou Xi hesitated for two seconds, struggled in his heart for a while, and finally nodded in response, moving his eyes listlessly: "Just two mouthfuls."

Zhou Xi couldn't stop feeling cold.He stuffed his hands tightly into the long sleeves of the sweater, not wanting to take them out at all.

Sitting is not so straight anymore, curled up, warm and moist.

He took the first sip from the spoon that Lu Xiangyang handed over, and when he lowered his head, he felt a little cute.

Fortunately, Boss Lu's ginger soup has a sweet taste, and he poured it into his stomach with a mouthful of hot water, and his body gradually warmed up. The hot spring is very comfortable.

Although Zhou Xi didn't like it, he had to admit that it was a kind of miraculous plant—the efficacy of dietary therapy was really extensive and profound.

Seeing him swallowing, Lu Xiangyang scooped it up spoonful after spoonful.

Zhou Xi, who originally planned to drink only two sips, also remained silent, letting him feed it spoonful by spoonful.

"Brother Xi." Lu Xiangyang couldn't help clearing his throat, "Last night, my clothes..."

"Oh." Zhou Xi sniffed lightly, "It's all soaked, I changed it."

The tone was so flat that he almost said, "It's not like I haven't seen it before."

"..." Lu Xiangyang shook his spoon and almost spilled the ginger soup, "I, I didn't act wild..."

As he spoke, he felt hot in the ears, as if he was the one who drank ginger tea, and his face was scorching hot.

"Hmm..." Zhou Xi thought seriously for two seconds, then raised his eyes innocently, "Does it count to take off your clothes and play hooligan?"

"..."

Jingle.The spoon fell into the bottomless porcelain bowl.

Zhou Xi felt that if someone came to poke Boss Lu at this time, he would immediately be wiped out on the spot.

He watched Lu Xiangyang's gradual petrification with satisfaction, and then laughed out loud.

"I lied to you." Zhou Xi choked himself accidentally with a smile, his mouth was full of the pungent aftertaste of ginger. He coughed and helped Boss Xia Lu's shoulder, "You were in a deep sleep and didn't make much movement."

"Damn it." Lu Xiangyang threw the bowl angrily, "I won't bring you like this."

He seemed to remember that he hugged Zhou Xi.

But Zhou Xi didn't mention a word.

Isn't it wild?

Is the dream real?

"Let's go." Zhou Xi buttoned up his coat and stood up, "I'll take you to the store, aren't you still busy?"

Based on the usual working hours, Boss Lu was seriously late when he arrived at the store today.

Fortunately, Xiao Hua is a reliable helper.

Zhou Xi's mobile phone was out of power all night, and the charging model used by Boss Lu was not the same. Lu Xiangyang went to buy a set of chargers on the way, and planned to put it in the store for Zhou Xi's exclusive use.

There are also a few new tempered mobile phone film bought together.

Firstly, when his poor mobile phone was smashed on the barbecue booth, the protective film was completely shattered, and it may be scratched at any time if it is not replaced.

Secondly, the store had a clearance sale, so he also bought one for Zhou Xi by the way.

"The tempered film in this store is quite easy to use. It's resistant to falling and durable—buy two and get one free." Lu Xiangyang put down his things and said, "It's not easy for me to live with my mobile phone to this day."

Boss Lu's mobile phone looks like it has been used for two years. There are many minor problems such as excessive power consumption and serious sound leakage, but it is still usable.

"Wow..." Xiaohua saw the horrible appearance of his cell phone, "Mr. Lu, what are you doing? This is taking pictures of cucumbers with the cell phone!"

"Miss, miss." Lu Xiangyang smiled mischievously, "Brother Xi, give me your phone, and I'll charge it for you."

Zhou Xi propped his forehead and pushed the phone over, nodding wearily.

——Looks not in good spirits.

Xiaohua poked Lu Xiangyang's arm nervously: "What's wrong with Mr. Zhou?"

"Caught a cold." Lu Xiangyang looked over worriedly, "You can't do this, I'll take you back to rest later?"

"It's okay." Zhou Xi closed his eyes and said calmly, "First charge the battery for a while, I can go back by myself."

"Hmm..." Lu Xiangyang patted Xiaohua, "Comrade Huahua is going to boil water, I will go to Sister Qingqing and ask for two bags of cold medicine."

Qingqing is a meticulous person.Almost every kind of medicine is stocked in the store.The worst time was when Lu Xiangyang got burned while working, Qingqing turned around and came out with a can of burn ointment.

According to her own statement, seeing her neighbors dealing with the stove and stove every day, she always felt that everything was safe, so she bought it as soon as she bought it.

And that's just the tip of the iceberg.Lu Xiangyang looked through her medicine box, and there were even anaphylaxis medicine and Jiuxin pills in it.

Not to mention cold medicine, counting different manufacturers and different brands, there can be several types, which is more comprehensive than drugstores.

Zhou Xi's drinking of cold granules is more coordinated than drinking ginger soup.Boss Lu watched him finish his drink, and took the cup out to clean and disinfect it.

Xiaohua stopped chattering today, and no one in the shop was talking, only the stove was hard at work baking the mooncakes, making the low hum of airflow.

The studio of this season is the most comfortable.The door is closed, the machine is turned on, and the heat from the oven warms the room.Compared with the growing coldness outside, the room was turning hot, like a bright and warm asteroid.

Zhou Xi lay down on the table and gradually fell asleep in the warmth.

The glasses were neatly folded and placed on the edge of the table.When he was asleep, his brows and eyes were loosened, his eyelashes drooped, and he looked defenseless.

Lu Xiangyang wiped his hands, and tiptoely put his hung coat on Zhou Xi's shoulders.

Xiao Hua in the workbench suddenly waved at him: "Hey!"

"Hush!" Lu Xiangyang said angrily.

Xiaohua suppressed her voice, but she still talked on her lips, and stubbornly stretched out her hand to point in a certain direction——

Boss Lu saw the little girl's mouth shape clearly, and said "telephone".

Zhou Xi's mobile phone turned on at some point, and it was ringing, and the charging cable was humming and shaking.

"Hello?" For fear of waking up the person who just fell asleep, Lu Xiangyang picked it up without looking at it, and said in a low voice, "I'm Mr. Zhou's friend, it's not convenient for him to pick it up now..."

"Huh?" The other party's voice was light and slightly familiar, "Are you Lu Xiaoyang?"

Lu Xiangyang was also taken aback, and he took a serious look at the caller ID of the phone again: "Uh... Doctor Gu An?"

"Yeah." Gu An's voice suddenly dropped, "What's wrong with Zhou Xi?"

The author says:

Today I eat spicy fried beef.

Hiss——I put too much chili, and I sucked in the air-conditioning while writing.

But the taste is really super good, let me put a lazy recipe.

Beef slices + olive oil + oil consumption + extremely delicious taste + a little sugar, mix well and marinate for half an hour.

Put the oil in the pot, put the whole fire on high, add sliced ​​ginger, minced garlic, dried onion (you can just order onion), dried chili, and sauté until fragrant.When the minced garlic and dried chili change color, you can put the beef down, then take out the chopsticks, stir fry, stir fry and stir until it is cooked, then put it on a plate. (The carpaccio is sticky, and with limited technology, I always feel that the spatula cannot be fried.)

For those who can't eat spicy food, cut the dried chili and pour out the seeds before cooking, as if it is not so spicy. (←The person who chooses to dump the seeds every time)

Cook more white rice.The fragrant, oily and tender spicy beef is too good to eat, and it is delicious.

PS: I can't eat this dish every week, it's a pity.
