lightly cooked

It was dark, and only Fu Jia's footsteps echoed in the corridor.He walked back to the West District wearily, and his mother was standing at the door of the ward, looking at him suspiciously.

"What are you doing over there?"

He shook his head, closed his clothes and lay down on the sofa without saying a word.Mother Fu knew something was wrong, she put on her clothes and went out for a walk, and soon found Xu Shuyuan's name tag outside a certain ward.

She was astonished.Could it be that Fu Jia has not broken up with this person surnamed Xu?No way, how does his behavior look like being in love recently?It's almost the same as falling out of love.

Back in the room, she leaned over and patted her son on the back: "Jiajia, Jiajia?"

Fu Jia turned over and buried her face deeply in the corner of the sofa.Mother Fu pulled her son over and was startled when she saw tears on his face, and asked quickly, "What's the matter, what wronged you? Tell Mom."

Fu Jia covered her eyes with her forearm with a stubborn expression, and Fu's mother hugged her son in her arms distressedly, just like when she was a child.

"Is that Xu Shuyuan? Have you met again?" Fu's mother knew, "Jiajia, why don't you listen to your mother? Can we harm you? Your father and I—"

"Mom." He interrupted, his voice hoarse, "He said he doesn't want me anymore."

Fu Jia hadn't cried like this in more than ten years, the tears flowed out violently, and the whole person seemed to be in deep despair.He also knew that it was embarrassing, so he gritted his teeth and tried his best to calm himself down, but he couldn't control his emotions like a bank burst.

"We can't do it anymore, he said we're done..."

"What's wrong with it being over?"

Fu Jia shook his head desperately, lying on the sofa and shaking, like a small animal that was wet by the rainstorm and hid in the leaves.

Fu's mother was angry and distressed, and didn't know what to do with him for a while.When the son finally fell asleep and sorted his clothes, he accidentally found a box of sleeping pills, and was so scared that he didn't sleep well all night.

The next day she found a doctor she had known for many years, and told her about the situation in a roundabout way, but she didn't say it was her son, only that it was a student she had taken care of before.

"Can't sleep, can't eat, these are typical symptoms of depression, it's best not to let him develop further."

"What will happen if it develops further down?"

The old pedant raised his glasses and gave his mother a sideways glance: "Where did you usually watch TV dramas? There are countless people who are depressed and commit suicide by jumping off buildings, and they are regardless of gender."

Fu's mother frightened him to death.

But Fu Jia didn't know about this.His eyes were swollen like two walnuts when he woke up that morning, and he took an ice pack for a while before going to work.

Maybe real maturity is learning to hide your emotions in your heart, neither causing trouble for others nor making others look down on you.Fortunately, it is the off-season recently, and the work pressure is not so great.

Recently, his savings have dwindled and his salary is not enough, so he was forced to learn to live on a budget.If you don’t want to eat takeaway, you can eat it. Lunch is a part of socializing, so there is no way to lower the standard. He will work hard on dinner.Order food on the mobile phone during the day, bring the food directly to the door when you get home at night, and prepare a meal in half an hour.

But these two days were different again, mainly because of Xu Shuyuan.Xu Shuyuan's illness needs to be taken care of, so of course it's not enough to rely on injections and medicine alone. Fu Jia thinks that she has the responsibility to take care of him.

In the past few days, Fu Jia got up to cook at dawn.The dishes are bought in the morning, so they are fresh, because I am not very proficient, it takes hours to wash and cut, and after frying, I put them in a disposable lunch box and take them to the hospital.Give one to my mother, and take the other to the door of the ward over there.

Soon Fu's mother noticed something, but she didn't make a sound, which was equivalent to acquiescing to his behavior.As a mother, as long as your son can live a happy life, don't be depressed all day long. He can cook for whomever he likes, and the family can't afford it.

On the fourth day, Xu Shuyuan was discharged from the hospital early, and the nurse told Fu Jia when he went to deliver the meals.

"As soon as the fee is paid in the morning, we will leave."

"What about his illness? How is it?"

"This... I don't know, why don't you ask the doctor."

The doctor went to the outpatient clinic, but he wasn't there.Returning to the ward with a heavy heart, his mother raised her head and glanced at the lunch box in his hand, and said coldly, "Why, did you hit a wall?"

The room was silent.

"Do you want to do it tomorrow?"

Fu Jia still didn't speak, just sat on the sofa in a daze.Fu's mother was jealous, and said sourly: "It seems that I have been honored by that surname Xu, otherwise I would not have seen your filial piety."

"Mom." Fu Jia called her softly, "You know that I am most worried about you."

Mother Fu snorted, but most of the anger in her heart had dissipated, and she said: "If he doesn't accept it, I don't think you need to rush any further. Go back and meet a few reliable girls, and hurry up to implement lifelong affairs. "

Fu Jia felt lost in her heart: "This is not shopping. If one family fails, then they will look at the next one. How can there be such a thing?"

"Stupid son." Fu's mother knocked on him, "Don't worry when you're young, but when you're old, you can only pick what's left. What do you know?"

"It's a big deal to live the rest of my life alone."

Fu's mother groaned: "What silly words?"

Maybe it's a silly word, but Fu Jia felt that he had no intention of knowing anyone, because his heart was already occupied by a name.

Although Xu Shuyuan was discharged from the hospital, he still had to eat, right?Fu Jia didn't feel depressed for too long, she still made a meal and took it to the company.

With the arrival of the hot summer, the Sixth Department is still the department that can work the most overtime. There are almost no one before ten o'clock, so no one will see him go up to deliver food.But for the sake of caution, he didn't cook it for himself, and went downstairs to eat with other people at noon, so as not to arouse the suspicion of his colleagues.

Xu Shuyuan didn't respond for several days, but Fu Jia thought it was good if he didn't respond. After all, Shuyuan's character was unwilling to accept, so he must have been looking for him long ago.

At noon that day, Fu Jia went to the 15th floor for business, so he made a detour because he didn't want to meet Xu Shuyuan.Walking to the tea room, out of the corner of my eye I suddenly saw a familiar figure from behind.

He paused, looking away.

Although it was a distance away, Xu Shuyuan could still see clearly that Xu Shuyuan threw two lunch boxes into the trash can, which were full of food and had not been touched.

Fu Jia froze in place.

He could indeed step forward to question him, but he didn't dare at all.When Xu Shuyuan turned around, he fled in a hurry.

Back at the work station, Wang Songjian teased Xu Shuyuan: "Just throw it away. Do you know that aflatoxin can cause cancer if you eat it? How can you eat it if you leave it all night in such a hot day?"

Xu Shuyuan sat down and faced the computer.

Wang Songjian clicked his tongue twice: "Why doesn't anyone give me love takeaway? I am also a good-looking talent, not much worse than you."

"I like it so much that you eat it tomorrow."

Wang Songjian raised his eyebrows: "Really?"

Xu Shuyuan didn't say a word, and concentrated on his work.

Wang Songjian squinted: "Look at how stingy you are."

When he received the news from Fu Jia, he was on a conference call, staring at the screen, frowning for a while.

"Manager Xu, I want to ask you something. See you downstairs at the square at nine o'clock in the evening."

The company's internal news cannot be blocked, and Fu Jia has considered it carefully.

After nine o'clock, the street lights on the square were bright, and the long street next to it was full of traffic.Fu Jia was already there when Xu Shuyuan arrived.He lowered his head, stepped on a leaf lightly on the sole of his foot, and the backpack in his hand was about to drop to the ground.

Hearing the sound of footsteps, he raised his head, his eyes slowly focused, and then a smile hung on the corner of his mouth with difficulty.

"I thought you wouldn't come."

"Just passing by after get off work." Xu Shuyuan was not close.

"Is that so." The loneliness on Fu Jia's face flashed past, he glanced at him and then lowered his eyes, "That's because I was being sentimental."

Xu Shuyuan noticed that his mood didn't seem right, looked at the time, and asked, "What's the matter so late."

"Are you feeling better?" Fu Jia's eyes fell somewhere on the ground, empty, "I wanted to go and see you, but you told me not to go to the department to look for you last time, so I just Did not go."

An acquaintance passed behind him and greeted Xu Shuyuan.Xu Shu turned around after finishing his time, and looked at Fu Jia steadfastly: "You don't need to bring me food in the future. If you have this time, you might as well take care of your own life and don't waste it on me."

Fu Jia's eyes trembled unexpectedly, and he smiled with the corners of his mouth, "Okay." After a pause, he asked, "Have you tried it?"

Xu Shuyuan didn't answer.

Fu Jia said softly, "I just want you to try it, after all...it's been a lot of hard work."

"Thank your nanny for me."

He shook his head and denied, "It wasn't my nanny who did it."

Xu Shuyuan raised his eyes and looked at him calmly, thinking that he was acting again.But the loss on his face didn't seem fake.

He dug out a bag of health care products from his backpack and handed it to Xu Shuyuan: "I bought this for you with my own salary. You can accept it. It's good for stomach problems."

Xu Shuyuan didn't answer.

Fu Jia stepped forward and put it at his feet: "Take it, I can't take this medicine, if you don't want it, it will be wasted."

Xu Shuyuan wanted to stop him, so he stretched out his hand to touch his left hand, and he withdrew it painfully, then raised his eyes and glanced at Xu Shuyuan, before asking questions, he explained softly: "I accidentally cut it while chopping vegetables, it's okay."

There are large band-aids wrapped around his left middle finger and index finger, one on the knuckle and the other on the fingertip.Xu Shuyuan turned his face away and didn't look closely.

The two were silent for a while, as if they had nothing to say.In the end, Xu Shuyuan wanted to end this situation: "You said you have something to ask me, what is it?"

Fu Jia said dully: "I'm going to choose a project for next year, and I want to ask you which manager is better, Mark Xu or Elvis Liu."

"You shouldn't ask me this kind of question, you should ask the people in your department."

Fu Jia was silent for a moment, then lowered his eyes: "I know you best, that's why I asked you."

Xu Shuyuan took a breath.

This person always knows how to soften his heart, always knows where his weakness is, and there are many ways to do it.

"Mark is more straightforward, Elvis is more generous with holidays. Both are good, but I suggest you choose Mark."

Fu Jiashun asked, "Why?"

Xu Shuyuan had no expression on his face, he turned his side and didn't look at him: "Elvis likes men, of course you can choose him if you have other intentions."

"...Oh..." Fu Jia was at a loss for words, "I don't have any intentions, you misunderstood, I don't like men."

Xu Shuyuan seemed to have been stabbed by someone, and his face suddenly turned grim.Fu Jia realized that she had said something wrong, and hurriedly redeemed it: "It's not what you think, I mean I don't like men, but I like you, that is, that is, I only liked you, men and women plus You're the only one who gets up, that's what it means."

After I finished speaking, I also felt that I was too shameless, and it was a bit shameless to say such things until now, so I picked up my backpack and hurried away without even saying goodbye.

Xu Shuyuan looked at it calmly, seeing Fu Jia's embarrassment and bewilderment.He furrowed his brows tightly at first, and then slowly let go after a long time.

At least they are fair in this matter, which is more or less a consolation, a consolation to him for more than four years.
