Salted Toffee

Who has never eaten toffee, and it can't taste hot pot.

Zhu Yu's eyelashes trembled quickly, and then he let out another "hmm".

People who used to be able to keep their mouths open can't stop, but now they talk so little that it makes people feel distressed.

He was restrained and silent, as if he had changed himself.

Is this the real Zhu Yu?

Or, is it Liang An?

The elevator reached the first floor, and Zhu Yu didn't plan to ask Fu Cizhou to take him back.

And Fu Cizhou didn't drive at all, just followed Zhu Yu on the side of the road.

The streets on New Year's Eve are very lively, red lanterns are hung on a street, and noisy festive songs can be heard everywhere you go.

Now this point is the point to go out to buy vegetables. There is a residential area next to the hospital, and there is a vegetable market at the two corners of the street.

Therefore, there are more people on the road, people walking in the same direction or facing each other, rubbing their shoulders and ankles, and the further they go, the more they look like they are going to a market.

Zhu Yu bowed his head and walked quickly, looking a little lonely from Fu Cizhou's perspective.

Someone walked between them, as if a current of water washed them away for a moment.Fu Cizhou followed closely in the next second, and gently shook Zhu Yu's fingertips under the cover of his coat.

Zhu Yu was taken aback, and quickly threw his arm away.

He turned his head and looked at Fu Cizhou in horror, it was only for a moment, and then he quickly looked back.

"Go slowly," Fu Cizhou didn't mind his rejection, "There are a lot of people here."

Zhu Yu nodded slightly, and curled the fingers that Fu Cizhou had held just now into his sleeves.

He continued to walk forward, feeling like a knife blade, cutting through the crowded crowd in front of him.

Vehicles come and go, traffic lights flash back and forth.

He seemed to have returned to the glass cover that he once was, looking at everything so busy, but he could never join in it.

"Look at the car," Fu Cizhou held Zhu Yu's shoulders and led him back a bit, "What are you thinking about?"

Zhu Yu shivered, but he didn't react as violently as before.

The white zebra crossing in front of him alternates, like his life, constantly changing new roles.

As if it was a good deal, in the end, all those characters disappeared.

Then he becomes an empty shell.

"Let's go." Fu Cizhou pushed Zhu Yu's arm, and seeing that he didn't respond, he took him onto the road together.

The green light lasted only ten seconds, and Zhu Yu's eyes flew wildly on the ground, and all he saw were shoes walking fast.

The red light came on and he was just at the end of the road.

There were three forked roads at the intersection, Zhu Yu didn't dare to look up, for a moment he didn't know which way to go.

The tall buildings of the city rise up, cutting the sky into large polygons.

The sky is far away, and the sea is all below.

The water flooded the top of the skull, making it hard to breathe under the pressure.

"Xiaoyu?"

Suddenly a familiar voice sounded beside him, Zhu Yu seemed to be pulled out of the water, and suddenly raised his head.

The sound of cars, noises, breeze, birds chirping, a bunch of voices all poured into Zhu Yu's ears one after another.

He couldn't stand still for a moment, subconsciously responded: "Huh?"

Zhu Qin held his arm.

Zhu Yu settled down and called Dad.

The other party was carrying two bags of vegetables, as if he had just returned from the vegetable market.

Zhu Qin said "Hey", looked up at the man beside him, and opened his eyes wide: "Fu..."

As if he hadn't seen her for a long time and forgot his name, he only said one last name, and there was no further text.

"Fu Cizhou." Fu Cizhou quickly took the words, "Uncle, long time no see."

Zhu Qin froze on the spot, as if seeing a ghost, he didn't care about the manners, and directly pulled Zhu Yukai to ask.

"Why did you get involved with him again?"

The tone of this sentence was not very good, Zhu Yu lowered his head and did not answer.

"Uncle, why don't we talk about it when we go back?" Fu Cizhou said while walking over to help Zhu Qin carry the bag in his hand.

Before Zhu Qin could react, both hands were empty.

He was a little annoyed, and raised his hand to take it back: "I don't want you to carry it!"

"Uncle, don't see me anymore," Fu Cizhou slipped away quickly, and returned to Zhu Yu's side, "Let's go?"

Zhu Yu knew that Zhu Qin didn't like to see Fu Cizhou's family very much, but Fu Cizhou was indeed innocent in the previous incident, so there was no reason to take this anger on him.

"First, let's go back first..." He pointed in a random direction, and took the lead to leave.

Fu Cizhou had a smile on his face, like a fool: "Yes, Uncle, it's almost time for dinner, let's go back quickly!"

It's less than ten o'clock and it's time for a fart meal.

Zhu Qin held his breath in his heart, but he still didn't speak.

There was one more Zhu Qin walking with him, and Zhu Yu was obviously not as nervous as before.

He approached Zhu Qin unconsciously, and by the time he realized it, he was already a step away from Fu Cizhou.

The eyes of the two met, Zhu Yu felt that something was wrong, and moved closer quietly.

"It's okay," Fu Cizhou smiled, "You can come here as you feel comfortable."

"I'm not sick," Zhu Yu denied dutifully, "It's fine, it's fine."

In the next second, Zhu Qin simply inserted himself between them.

"I bought some pork liver today, and I will make some pork liver soup for lunch."

Fu Cizhou stepped back half a step to the side, but still had a smile on his face.

He looked at Zhu Qin, who had been silent for a few minutes, babbling.

The father and son in front of him were about the same height, Zhu Yu listened to Zhu Qin with his head drooping, and his shoulders were also slumped, as if he was a bit shorter.

Turning at the intersection, the other party quietly glanced at Fu Cizhou, but quickly moved away after meeting his gaze and pretended nothing happened.

Like a young couple who was caught in a puppy love, they do everything secretly.

A few minutes later, when he turned to the gate of the community, Zhu Qin took out his magnetic card and swiped the access control.

Fu Cizhou graciously pushed the door against the door, telling Zhu Qin and Zhu Yu to go in quickly.

Zhu Qin turned to look at Fu Cizhou, then at Zhu Yu: "Does his family agree?"

Zhu Yu was at a loss for words for a while, but Fu Cizhou responded quickly: "I agree, I agree! I agree!"

Zhu Qin then reluctantly turned his body back, but Zhu Yu froze there.

Fu Cizhou tugged on his sleeve and pulled him away from the door.

With a "creak", the iron gate of the community was closed.

Zhu Yu seemed to have just recovered, and looked up at Fu Cizhou.

Fu Cizhou let go of Zhu Yu, and repeated with a smile: "I agree."

Zhu Yu didn't know what Zhu Qin thought when he heard these three words.

But these three words, to Zhu Yu, felt like a world away.

For example, Zhu Yu had been thinking about the small plane when he was six or seven years old. When he was sixteen or seventeen, although he missed it, he didn't seem to have such a strong desire.

Zhu Yu was walking on the road, stroking his thoughts little by little.

Does this mean that Fu Cizhou, like that plane, is actually not that important.

"...The old man is not in good health. He was sent to Zhu Yu's hospital the day before yesterday... Well, then we met..."

Fu Cizhou and Zhu Qin walked in front, talking intermittently.

Zhu Yu walked slower and slower, and finally saw the two of them stop in front of the unit building.

Zhu Qin turned to look at him.

But Fu Cizhou simply walked back with the vegetables.

"What are you doing?"

Today's sunshine is very good, shining on the two of them, like a layer of gold plating.

Zhu Yu and Fu Cizhou walked towards Zhu Qin side by side with him.

"It's been a long time since I ate a meal made by my uncle." Fu Cizhou went to pull the door of the unit building diligently again, "Which floor do you live on? I'll press the elevator."

Fu Cizhou is different from that plane, Zhu Yu thought.

Even after five, ten, or twenty years, he still wants it very much.

Thinking of hearing a word of approval and being able to freeze in place, the joy in my heart surged, and I couldn't calm down for a long time.

He hasn't been happy for a long time.

I almost forgot how happy I felt.

"23."

Zhu Yu raised his hand and pressed the elevator button.

Fu Cizhou's fingers followed him and hit the back of Zhu Yu's hand.

"It's quite high," Fu Cizhou and Zhu Qin joked, "Didn't I buy a house in Yuanzhou, just over there in Dongcheng, on the 26th floor. One day the power went out, so I didn't go back at all hahahaha... "

Zhu Yu raised his eyes to look at Fu Cizhou, and quickly lowered his head again.

The other party bought a house in Yuanzhou, so...he will live here.

After arriving home, Zhu Yu took a shower, and then went back to the bedroom to catch up on sleep.

There were sleeping pills on the bedside table, Zhu Yu casually opened the drawer and threw the bottle of pills into it.

Fu Cizhou and Zhu Qin were picking vegetables together in the kitchen, chatting after coming and going.

"I can't finish the shower," Zhu Qin pointed to the bathroom, "I'm obsessed with cleanliness."

"Are there more or less doctors?" Fu Cizhou said.

"I didn't," Zhu Qin shook his head, "It's a psychological problem."

When it comes to psychological problems, Fu Cizhou suddenly became alert.

"Uncle," he put back the smile on his face, "these years... How is Zhu Yu?"

"How is it good?" Zhu Qin threw a handful of beans into the box, "That's it."

Fu Cizhou seemed to have made a mistake, and even breathed a lot lighter: "Will my dad have trouble with you again in the future?"

"No," Zhu Qin sighed, "I returned a lot of money. But I didn't move a single cent, and put it all in the card, and you can take it away in a while."

Fu Cizhou rubbed his nose in embarrassment: "Ah... uncle, don't want it for nothing."

"I don't want it!" Zhu Qin also lost his temper, "Our family is not poor!"

Fu Cizhou was so embarrassed that he didn't dare to continue asking questions.

Fortunately, Zhu Qin didn't vent the anger of the older generation on the younger generation, and drove Fu Cizhou to sit in the living room after the vegetables were picked.

"Wake him up at 11:30," Zhu Qin pointed to the glass on the dining table, "Where is the rock sugar and a glass of sugar water."

Fu Cizhou quickly responded, seeing that it was still early, he washed the sugar water first and set it aside.

Zhu Yu's house has two bedrooms and one living room, [-] square meters, which is considered a small apartment.

However, the house has good lighting and a comfortable design, especially the balcony outside the living room, where Zhu Yu moved in a lot of flowers and plants.

Fu Cizhou had nothing to do, so he took a watering can and sprayed water on the leaves.

In the corner is a pot of big-leaf green plants, which are almost as tall as Fu Cizhou.

The oval leaves are layered on top of each other, and when you look away, there is a small glass fish tank behind it.

The fish tank was lined with aquatic plants and pebbles, and there was a small red carp wagging its tail in the water.

Fu Cizhou remembered that he once picked up such a small carp, but it died not long after.

Most of the beautiful things are delicate, so you have to keep them in your heart all the time and take care of them.

The sugar water has been cold for a while, and now it is at a moderate temperature, so it is best to drink it.

Fu Cizhou held the cup, hesitated for a moment outside Zhu Yu's bedroom, and finally turned back to the kitchen.

"Uncle, go and call him."

"Zhu Yu is now...a little afraid of me."
