With heavy traffic, Pei Lin walked out of the snack street and walked through the snow-covered streets at night.
He is 14 years old now, with a cool and straight face, and a big gray windbreaker with the same color as his eyes makes him look tall and straight.
Such a half-grown boy was holding a bouquet of fiery red roses, and he didn't know who to give it to.Young people's romance is always the purest and most touching.Even though the people on the street were in a hurry, many couldn't help but look at him a few more times.
It's probably the first love, such a beautiful flower, such a handsome boy, I don't know whose youth has such luck?
In the ward.
After all, Pei Libin is a big boss with a lot of contacts. Now that the operation is over, many suppliers and customers have come to visit him humanely.
Almost without exception, those who came in to give gifts took the handsome young man with amber eyes as his son.
"Wow, I've heard about it before, Mr. Pei's son is very good, and now I see that he is really a good-looking talent!"
The veins on Pei Libin's forehead twitched crazily.
But what can he do?It's not possible to explain to this group of unfamiliar business partners one by one, saying that this is not the unfilial son of my bastard who ran away to hide and relax, and finally let this group of people make all kinds of unreasonable speculations and read the joke, right?
Had to deal with it vaguely.
Now the customers and suppliers have found a point of flattering: "Mr. Pei is handsome in person, and his handsomeness is just as handsome as your son's inheritance!"
"That's right. He is handsome and has good grades. The tiger father has no dogs. President Pei will train him!"
Pei Libin: "..."
It never occurred to me that once the little murderer was praised, he actually started to do things on his own. He put on a business smiling face and started spending money one by one. Uncle, please sit down, serving tea and water very neatly.
It's not at all different from the little bastard in his family who is so lofty in his bones and rarely talks to him every time he goes out!
Customers and suppliers even more sincerely praised: "President Pei, your son is not only excellent but also has a high EQ, and the future is boundless!"
Pei Libin: "..."
It was bustling here, and when the door opened over there, Tang Caiping also came.
As soon as she appeared, the ward became more lively: "Ah, sister-in-law, I was discussing whether Mr. Ling should be sent abroad to study in university because he is so outstanding. Mr. Pei just said it's up to you, and you came here!"
Tang Caiping's response was always quick.
Her beautiful eyes swept across the people in the room. Huo Xiuxun was surrounded by smiling dog legs, and Pei Libin's dead face over there. She understood everything in an instant.Immediately smiled slightly, walked up to Huo Xiuxun in red high heels, hooked his neck "baji" and kissed him.
"Send my son to study abroad? I can't bear it!"
The crowd: "It is also true."
"Hey, it's good to stay in China, anyway, I will be a seedling of Tsinghua University and Peking University in the future."
"Just now I said that the young master looks like Mr. Pei, but now I see that he looks more like my mother. It's my mother's beautiful son who is so handsome!"
Tang Caiping: "Really, isn't my son handsome?"
Compared to Pei Libin, who was suffering from myocardial infarction, she could be said to be more skillful in acting, she took Huo Xiuxun's arm and said, "Look at my son's green down jacket, I bought it for him!"
……
As it got dark, Huo Xiuxun helped send another group of guests downstairs.
When I came back, I deliberately went to the bathroom and washed my face with the extremely bitter water from the winter water pipe.
His body was still smelled of Tang Caiping's perfume. He couldn't forget her sudden kiss on the cheek and being dragged by her to show off in front of the guests.
I didn't expect that just to help Professor Pei, I could also experience the scene of having both parents and being proud of my family...
If only everything was true.
If only she could really be his "mother" all the time.
He lowered his eyes and smiled, and poured two more handfuls of water to try to wake himself up.
Don't be too greedy, he reminded himself.Hope this thing will always bring endless pain, and he has been through so many times.
Everyone should not give him hope, not at all.
If Tang Caiping didn't kiss him that time, he would definitely not be crazy to go upstairs later and work hard to be a "good son" in order to secretly act like a baby.
In the same way, if Pei Lin hadn't been pampering him slightly in the past few years, he wouldn't secretly, sweetly and bitterly, want more and more.
The increasingly fermented emotions have recently begun to reach an almost painful level.
A few years ago, that rebellious little dinosaur was able to convince himself time and time again that he was unloved because Professor Pei was not only indifferent and superior, but also a fool who looked down on others. It was Professor Pei's fault, not his.
But now he knew very well that he was not working hard enough.
It was he who was still clinging to his last pride, unwilling to break his spine, to admit his sincerity to that person, to be scrutinized and deconstructed nakedly, to humblely beg to be accepted.
What is he still supporting, it will be broken one day.
He couldn't still dream that someone without feelings would come to love him first.
[Knock knock, seth. 】
The sudden sound startled Huo Xiuxun.The cheeks that had just been chilled by cold water were hot again, and he was a little annoyed, as if someone had read his thoughts from afar.
[Seth, come down for a moment. 】
【I'll wait for you downstairs. 】
When Huo Xiuxun went downstairs, he had tried his best to calm down all his emotions.He is very good at this. After all, he suppressed all his emotions and hibernated in various seasons for so many years.
However, just seeing Pei Lin for the first time, he almost broke his defense again.
Professor Pei, who is so emotional, really deserves to be a robot who has no concept of human emotions-it's not good to appear in any way, and he actually took a large bouquet of red roses wrapped in cellophane!
It's snowing and the new year is coming.At around [-]:[-] p.m., small merchants and peddlers are pushing carts under the hospital. Some carts are decorated with small lanterns and the music loop of the small speaker Canon. The scene in front of you is clearly full of fireworks and extreme romance.
Huo Xiuxun's eye sockets hurt slightly, and he wanted to laugh.
What a scene.
Is he really unlucky to fall in love with this kind of person?Seeing those gray eyes warmed by the surrounding neon lights, seeing the person you like walking step by step with a smile, how happy would it be if you were a stupid person?
Fortunately, he was clear enough not to misunderstand.
What kind of idiot without common sense bought such a beautiful bouquet of roses when he came to visit his father?
……
When Bi Yingying came to the hospital today, she was very depressed.
It's almost New Year's Eve, and a 14-year-old girl like her suddenly got mumps?Not to mention that she didn't get this disease until she was 26 years old in her previous life, just say that in his memory, when the whole class had mumps, it should have happened in kindergarten!
She was so bulging that she couldn't speak, and she unexpectedly met Zhao Xinglu, Chu Zhenhuai and a well-known gossip trumpet in their class in the hospital.
The people whose faces were swollen into pig's heads cried silently to each other, while Chu Zhenhuai made a special trip to laugh at them.
In such a sad atmosphere, several people immediately saw a remarkable scene at the gate of the hospital!
Under Bai Xue's steps, Pei Lin handed Huo Xiuxun a bouquet of roses.
As far as the action is concerned, no matter how you look at it, it feels like a boyfriend sending flowers, it can't be anything else.Not only did they think so, the passers-by around were also surprised to see the expression on the scene of the teenager's marriage proposal.
Then I saw Huo Xiuxun accepting the flower stiffly, hugging it obediently, and the two finally left together.
Bi Yingying: "Aoooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo?"
Zhao Xinglu: "Woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!"
The small speaker was not as swollen as the two of them: "Wow, there is such a big gossip... I want to tell the whole school... Woooooo!"
Two 10 minutes later.
The backyard of the hospital is directly connected to the medical university. Unlike the people coming and going here, the campus is mostly dark and silent under the snowy street lights.
Huo Xiuxun hugged his arms full of red roses, and sat down with Pei Lin on the bench that had been brushed off from the snow.Opposite the bench is a clearing under the snow, on the clearing two little snowmen are leaning their heads against each other in a sweet and very loving pose.
Huo Xiuxun subconsciously pursed his colorless thin lips.
He recalled that at the hospital gate just now, Pei Lin handed Huadan to him, "here".At that moment, he couldn't move at all. Although his reason kept yelling crazily, it wasn't what you thought, but his fingertips couldn't help trembling and secretly caressed the dewy wetness on the cellophane, and the scent of roses filled his nostrils. In his eyes, there are only those gray eyes with the tenderness of the stars under the neon lights.
Does this person understand how exciting and sweet a confession this scene looks to outsiders?
Not only did he think too much, even the passers-by nearby showed astonished expressions.
And he could only be in it, gritting his teeth, his heart beating wildly, humbly feeling the stolen ecstasy and bitterness.
Everything is so sweet that he can lie to himself to remember it for a lifetime, so that even if he wants to be angry, he can't get angry.
Like this kind of person, too tormented.
Just as he was thinking, his shoulders suddenly felt heavy and his side felt warm.
Huo Xiuxun took a deep breath silently, and continued to endure with all his strength—some robots without EQ really don't understand other people's feelings at all, they send roses in large crowds, and now they are leaning on him again!
Under the streetlight, Pei Lin looked up at him, with a hint of helplessness in his gray eyes: "Seth."
"That flower is for you."
Seeing that he didn't respond, he repeated it again: "It's not for my dad, nor for anyone else. It's for you, and it's specially bought for you."
"Do you know what I mean?"
"..."
Seven o'clock at night.The small church near the hospital immediately rang the bell, Dang Dang, Dang Dang - the main teaching building of the Medical University also started to ring the bell, the same Dang Dang, Dang Dang -
The sound of the bell covered Pei Lin's last few words, but successfully explained Xiao Q's confusion for 10 minutes.
Hey!
It just said, why does the master take the initiative to send flowers, but the male lead is so unresponsive?
It turned out that there was no reaction at all!
It's okay, okay, the master decisively pointed out the misunderstanding.Now the hero finally understands, right?
Woohoo, the hero has loved his master for so many years, and now his long-cherished wish is finally fulfilled.I don't know how happy, excited and wronged I should be, so what is the next step, can the two finally hold hands and kiss each other?Woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo..
It looks forward to it.
The male protagonist's eyes were red with anger, he hugged his master fiercely and rushed forward, the rose was crushed under his body...
Unexpectedly, after a while, Huo Xiuxun let out an "oh".
Unexpectedly peaceful.
Although he looked a little happy, after learning that it was for him, he reached out and touched the rose carefully, as if he was touching some furry animal.But soon, he withdrew that trace of joy and contentment.
"Professor Pei, I actually didn't do anything. You know that people have different personalities. Uncles and aunts are difficult for you to deal with, but they are easy for me to get along with."
"I have no trouble getting along with them, and I don't feel tired."
Little Q: […]
Wait, the hero, he still didn't understand anything!
Not only did he not understand it, but he seemed to have logically and wittily completed the reason why Pei Lin came to him suddenly at night - 1. To thank him for taking care of his father for him. 2. Because Tao Xiaoning's mother and daughter were upset and couldn't be resolved, he came to talk to him about his worries.
And this bouquet of roses is the gratitude compensation for the above two things.
then--
"Professor Pei, you don't have to be too harsh on yourself about Tao Xiaoning and her mother. It is impossible for this matter to have a perfect result for their mother and daughter, because anyone with a discerning eye can see that uncle only has aunt in his heart. I will never be happy with Aunt Tao anyway."
Little Q: […]
Is this still possible? ? ?
Fortunately, its owner didn't dislike it. He looked at Huo Xiuxun with gray eyes, half smiled, stretched out his hand and put the bouquet of roses beside him, and then wrapped his hands around Huo Xiuxun's.
All of a sudden, Huo Xiuxun's words froze again, and he froze, trying to hide his panic.
Pei Lin: "Are your hands cold?"
Huo Xiuxun shook his head: "It's not cold."
Pei Lin lowered his eyes: "Nonsense, I'm frozen."
It was only then that Huo Xiuxun realized that the temperature this day was minus two degrees, and since he had been holding flowers just now, his knuckles were indeed stiff with cold.
In a trance.
In the next second, there was a burst of scalding heat.Huo Xiuxun was stunned, unable to believe that Pei Lin put his frozen hands on his warm neck to keep warm.
But his hands are so cold, how icy they should be.
His mind was at a loss, and he spoke again, his voice hoarse: "Professor Pei, actually, regarding their mother and daughter, I really think you can... Try to open up your heart, don't be too stressed."
"It should be completely possible to continue to treat her as a younger sister and get along with her normally. There is no need to deliberately alienate her like last time. After all, it is Uncle Pei who is sorry for them, not you."
"Tao Xiaoning is not the kind of ignorant person, she will understand you."
"If she doesn't understand, I'll go talk to her."
"..."
He couldn't continue, Pei Lin's body temperature was abnormally high, his fingers connected to his heart, and the warm current flowed through the veins to the bottom of his heart.He subconsciously struggled, but did not break free.
"Professor Pei."
The voice was so hoarse that he couldn't bear it, but Pei Lin just looked at him quietly with those gray eyes, the look in his eyes was different from before, and there was something he couldn't understand.
Huo Xiuxun didn't dare to look at him again, he turned his eyes away: "It's a bit late, let's go back early."
"It's cold now, and it's getting dark outside early. Although the security is much better now, don't forget that our city was still a famous 'bandit city' 20 years ago."
……
That night, when Huo Xiuxun returned to the ward with the rose, Tang Caiping hadn't left yet.
Tang Caiping: "Hey, I even bought flowers, Xiaoxun, you really have a heart!"
Huo Xiuxun: "...No, Pei Lin bought it."
Pei Libin snorted: "Pull it down, fake filial piety, you want to buy Lao Shizi's flowers, but you run away without a trace?"
Tang Caiping was not happy to hear his words, and put her hips on her hips: "My son has been taking care of you for a few days, what's the matter with taking a break? How dare you say something unfilial, are you qualified to be a father? Do you care about your son every day? How can you kiss your son every day?" I don't have much to say to you late, do you? I think your communication skills are pretty good, so Xiaoxun has a lot of topics in common with you, and we have a good chat?"
"It just so happens that he is here, ask more about your son, learn more about your son, a bit like a father!"
Pei Libin held back, but didn't hold back: "Just talk about me, do you think you look like a mother? You don't stick to the family all the time, and you don't have the virtuousness of a woman at all."
Tang Caiping's voice instantly raised an octave: "What did you say?"
The two immediately started pecking at each other, and Huo Xiuxun exited the ward tactfully: "I'm going to fill the vase with some water."
As he said so, he walked towards the empty stairwell.Sitting on the steps holding the bottle of roses, I slowly buried my head in.
The world turned pale.
In an instant, he arrived at the hut in Frost's Landing World.I poked a few lines of code with Xiaolan, and soon, there was a hospital glass bottle filled with blooming red roses on the desk in the study.
...Probably because he has lost too many things, he has gradually developed a habit, once he has something, he wants to retain and seal it up as much as possible.
The flowers sent by the florist at home every week, he always dried them into dried flowers.
And today's bouquet of roses will of course be dried in the same way in a few days.But he really wanted to keep the scene of receiving the roses so much that it was not enough to dry them, and he had to copy them in his own small world.
Over the past few years, this hut has become much messier than before.
There are many more things.
There are a lot of bear and rabbit dolls and ornaments on the desk, all bought by Pei Linxian in the past few years when he was bored.There are also a lot of clothes in the closet, every new clothes that Pei Lin and Tang Caiping bought for him in the past few years.There are many more books on the bookshelf...
As a result, this house was supposed to be the duplicated Pei Lin's home, which was clean and tidy with Professor Pei X's indifferent style, but now he made it nondescript.
Huo Xiuxun smiled to himself.
Out of the corner of his eye, he suddenly stopped at the photos on the bookshelf, and his mind froze for a moment. Many of those photos were his fatal delusions when he first started to build this world a few years ago——
For example, he is looking forward to doing it all over again, Pei Lin will say that this little Xun is my cover, looking forward to Pei Lin taking him to amusement parks and outings, imagining the two of them laughing and making trouble together, and all kinds of...
Now it suddenly dawned on me that while not everything was in the order and detail of the photo, almost everything that he fantasized about happened.
He thought of the three big books in Pei Lin's house...now they are four big photo albums.
Many things that happened in reality are much better and richer than the craziest appearance in his delusions.
The latest content is that Pei Lin forced him to wear red and green contrasting antlers to dance at Christmas, bought a bunch of luminous New Year greeting cards to write together again, and slapped him in the snow under the setting sun. The face is that he was forced to make popcorn at home last month, but both of them were obsessed with observation and forgot to cover the pot. The popcorn popped all over the kitchen.
All the way back from medical school, his hand that was not holding flowers was always held by Pei Lin in his warm windbreaker pocket.
Huo Xiuxun had never been guessed like this in several lifetimes.
In the online literature he has read, this seems to be a very intimate and sweet gesture, a cash withdrawal that he secretly likes, so he enjoys it sourly and secretly.
Then, it was time to separate at the hospital gate.
Pei Lin suddenly pulled him without warning.
Because his hands were still in his pockets, he staggered and almost fell over. At that moment, the two of them were breathing so close.Then, Pei Lin looked at him with gray eyes, and there was another emotion that he couldn't understand.
He said, seth, come to my house during the Chinese New Year this year, and I will spend the first New Year with you.
"..."
First.Meaning, there can be a second, a third, right?Huo Xiuxun hugged himself and sat down on the floor of the study, buried his head in his knees and shook his head vigorously.
Don't be stupid, don't read too much, that's Professor Pei, he won't give you any sweet hints.
It's all about you being self-indulgent.Still don't understand?He didn't even send him roses to thank you like you think!
He is just greedy for your cooking skills and wants to eat rose cakes.
Huo Xiuxun thought about the conversation between the two on the way home, he was angry and funny.
"You, want me...to use this pickled rose cake?"
Pei Lin nodded: "Yes."
Huo Xiuxun's brain was about to explode immediately, and he looked at him like a fool: "The roses used for making rose flower cakes are edible double-petalled roses, the pink ones, of course not for viewing!"
Pei Lin: "Can't this be eaten?"
"cannot!!"
"So you sunbathe so much every day, isn't it for making tea?"
"Of course not! At most it's soaking..."
"What to drink?"
"..." Huo Xiuxun gritted his teeth, "Take a bath."
"Is it so important to take a bath with roses?"
Huo Xiuxun was very sad and indignant.It's not that he has that kind of attention and preference, but it's just that the more dried flowers are dried in the sun, it's too wasteful to put them there without using them.
Pei Lin: "You didn't say it earlier, I made tea with the roses you dried today."
Huo Xiuxun: "???"
"Have you made tea? Have you drank it? Professor Pei, can you have some basic knowledge of life? Did you eat your IQ, young master? How much did you drink? Did you drink it all? Are you okay, does your stomach hurt?"
……In summary.
Professor Pei was so angry that it gave people headaches, Huo Xiuxun could only comfort himself, anyway, if he wanted to eat something, he could still ask him to cook it, which is considered progress.He can be considered to have mastered a skill recognized by Professor Pei, at least he can catch his stomach.
Huo Xiuxun didn't know that Pei Linren was thinking about the same conversation while feeding the cat in the rental house.
Of course he made up the idea of eating flower cakes.
Can seth believe it? !
……
Among the novels that Huo Xiuxun likes to read, there is often a routine that Pei Lin doesn't understand.
The male lead and his buddies claim to be a "beautiful friendship", but the whole world thinks they are together, the whole school is talking about their CP, and the two of them will go on a daily date to hug and blush.Until one day the good buddies couldn't take it anymore and confessed to the hero, the hero suddenly looked shocked and even a little hurt: "I treat you as a good friend, but you actually want to sleep with me?"
This plot is ridiculously unreasonable.
Even Xiao Q, who is so stupid and sweet, doesn't believe that someone can be so dull, and has to admit, "This male lead is just a green tea pretending to be stupid, so he can watch it without a brain."
Pei Lin has always disliked things without brains.
It was not until today that I saw Huo Xiuxun's outrageousness with my own eyes that I wanted to try to believe the extremely unreasonable plots in some sand sculpture novels for the first time.
The little Q beside him sighed: [As expected of the male protagonist in the book, at the critical moment, he suddenly started to follow a dull routine without thinking! 】
Pei Lin lowered his eyes.
But Huo Xiuxun's is not dull.
He just couldn't believe it.
Even if everything is obvious, I still refuse to believe it.
He gave him roses, and a moment of surprise and flattery flashed in those amber eyes, followed by bewilderment, panic and bitterness.
He went to warm his hands, and the man's fingertips were trembling, trying to make amends by talking about the matter seriously.
Sentimental and humble, he put his hands in his pockets and stayed with him the whole time.A person who has been treated well for several years is still afraid, and still refuses to believe that someone who sends him flowers just wants to send him flowers, and refuses to believe that putting his hands in his pockets means simply liking him.
However, that's fine too.
It is convenient for him to rein in the precipice and temporarily modify the route.
Compared to "marry first, love later", Huo Xiuxun has always preferred to watch scenes where the domineering president chases after him without thinking, spoils him without thinking, and is foolish and sweet when he is spoiled all the time and feels like he has no one to cry about.
Now Pei Lin finally understood.
A person who has never been pampered will love to watch these things because he longs for the feeling of being pampered and given special treatment.
That being the case, how could he rely on himself being liked, just want a bouquet of roses to make things clear, and force him to accept that he wants to be nice to him suddenly?
That would be too cruel.
He can have a better way.Although Pei Lin also knows that he has no feelings and doesn't know how to be sweet, but anyway, he has really read a lot of outrageous books that Seth loves to read in the past few years.
He thought, with such a strong learning ability, it doesn't mean that he can't learn to make sweetness and romance.
He is 14 years old now, with a cool and straight face, and a big gray windbreaker with the same color as his eyes makes him look tall and straight.
Such a half-grown boy was holding a bouquet of fiery red roses, and he didn't know who to give it to.Young people's romance is always the purest and most touching.Even though the people on the street were in a hurry, many couldn't help but look at him a few more times.
It's probably the first love, such a beautiful flower, such a handsome boy, I don't know whose youth has such luck?
In the ward.
After all, Pei Libin is a big boss with a lot of contacts. Now that the operation is over, many suppliers and customers have come to visit him humanely.
Almost without exception, those who came in to give gifts took the handsome young man with amber eyes as his son.
"Wow, I've heard about it before, Mr. Pei's son is very good, and now I see that he is really a good-looking talent!"
The veins on Pei Libin's forehead twitched crazily.
But what can he do?It's not possible to explain to this group of unfamiliar business partners one by one, saying that this is not the unfilial son of my bastard who ran away to hide and relax, and finally let this group of people make all kinds of unreasonable speculations and read the joke, right?
Had to deal with it vaguely.
Now the customers and suppliers have found a point of flattering: "Mr. Pei is handsome in person, and his handsomeness is just as handsome as your son's inheritance!"
"That's right. He is handsome and has good grades. The tiger father has no dogs. President Pei will train him!"
Pei Libin: "..."
It never occurred to me that once the little murderer was praised, he actually started to do things on his own. He put on a business smiling face and started spending money one by one. Uncle, please sit down, serving tea and water very neatly.
It's not at all different from the little bastard in his family who is so lofty in his bones and rarely talks to him every time he goes out!
Customers and suppliers even more sincerely praised: "President Pei, your son is not only excellent but also has a high EQ, and the future is boundless!"
Pei Libin: "..."
It was bustling here, and when the door opened over there, Tang Caiping also came.
As soon as she appeared, the ward became more lively: "Ah, sister-in-law, I was discussing whether Mr. Ling should be sent abroad to study in university because he is so outstanding. Mr. Pei just said it's up to you, and you came here!"
Tang Caiping's response was always quick.
Her beautiful eyes swept across the people in the room. Huo Xiuxun was surrounded by smiling dog legs, and Pei Libin's dead face over there. She understood everything in an instant.Immediately smiled slightly, walked up to Huo Xiuxun in red high heels, hooked his neck "baji" and kissed him.
"Send my son to study abroad? I can't bear it!"
The crowd: "It is also true."
"Hey, it's good to stay in China, anyway, I will be a seedling of Tsinghua University and Peking University in the future."
"Just now I said that the young master looks like Mr. Pei, but now I see that he looks more like my mother. It's my mother's beautiful son who is so handsome!"
Tang Caiping: "Really, isn't my son handsome?"
Compared to Pei Libin, who was suffering from myocardial infarction, she could be said to be more skillful in acting, she took Huo Xiuxun's arm and said, "Look at my son's green down jacket, I bought it for him!"
……
As it got dark, Huo Xiuxun helped send another group of guests downstairs.
When I came back, I deliberately went to the bathroom and washed my face with the extremely bitter water from the winter water pipe.
His body was still smelled of Tang Caiping's perfume. He couldn't forget her sudden kiss on the cheek and being dragged by her to show off in front of the guests.
I didn't expect that just to help Professor Pei, I could also experience the scene of having both parents and being proud of my family...
If only everything was true.
If only she could really be his "mother" all the time.
He lowered his eyes and smiled, and poured two more handfuls of water to try to wake himself up.
Don't be too greedy, he reminded himself.Hope this thing will always bring endless pain, and he has been through so many times.
Everyone should not give him hope, not at all.
If Tang Caiping didn't kiss him that time, he would definitely not be crazy to go upstairs later and work hard to be a "good son" in order to secretly act like a baby.
In the same way, if Pei Lin hadn't been pampering him slightly in the past few years, he wouldn't secretly, sweetly and bitterly, want more and more.
The increasingly fermented emotions have recently begun to reach an almost painful level.

What is he still supporting, it will be broken one day.
He couldn't still dream that someone without feelings would come to love him first.
[Knock knock, seth. 】
The sudden sound startled Huo Xiuxun.The cheeks that had just been chilled by cold water were hot again, and he was a little annoyed, as if someone had read his thoughts from afar.
[Seth, come down for a moment. 】
【I'll wait for you downstairs. 】
When Huo Xiuxun went downstairs, he had tried his best to calm down all his emotions.He is very good at this. After all, he suppressed all his emotions and hibernated in various seasons for so many years.
However, just seeing Pei Lin for the first time, he almost broke his defense again.
Professor Pei, who is so emotional, really deserves to be a robot who has no concept of human emotions-it's not good to appear in any way, and he actually took a large bouquet of red roses wrapped in cellophane!
It's snowing and the new year is coming.At around [-]:[-] p.m., small merchants and peddlers are pushing carts under the hospital. Some carts are decorated with small lanterns and the music loop of the small speaker Canon. The scene in front of you is clearly full of fireworks and extreme romance.
Huo Xiuxun's eye sockets hurt slightly, and he wanted to laugh.
What a scene.
Is he really unlucky to fall in love with this kind of person?Seeing those gray eyes warmed by the surrounding neon lights, seeing the person you like walking step by step with a smile, how happy would it be if you were a stupid person?
Fortunately, he was clear enough not to misunderstand.
What kind of idiot without common sense bought such a beautiful bouquet of roses when he came to visit his father?
……
When Bi Yingying came to the hospital today, she was very depressed.
It's almost New Year's Eve, and a 14-year-old girl like her suddenly got mumps?Not to mention that she didn't get this disease until she was 26 years old in her previous life, just say that in his memory, when the whole class had mumps, it should have happened in kindergarten!
She was so bulging that she couldn't speak, and she unexpectedly met Zhao Xinglu, Chu Zhenhuai and a well-known gossip trumpet in their class in the hospital.
The people whose faces were swollen into pig's heads cried silently to each other, while Chu Zhenhuai made a special trip to laugh at them.
In such a sad atmosphere, several people immediately saw a remarkable scene at the gate of the hospital!
Under Bai Xue's steps, Pei Lin handed Huo Xiuxun a bouquet of roses.
As far as the action is concerned, no matter how you look at it, it feels like a boyfriend sending flowers, it can't be anything else.Not only did they think so, the passers-by around were also surprised to see the expression on the scene of the teenager's marriage proposal.
Then I saw Huo Xiuxun accepting the flower stiffly, hugging it obediently, and the two finally left together.
Bi Yingying: "Aoooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo?"
Zhao Xinglu: "Woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!"
The small speaker was not as swollen as the two of them: "Wow, there is such a big gossip... I want to tell the whole school... Woooooo!"
Two 10 minutes later.
The backyard of the hospital is directly connected to the medical university. Unlike the people coming and going here, the campus is mostly dark and silent under the snowy street lights.
Huo Xiuxun hugged his arms full of red roses, and sat down with Pei Lin on the bench that had been brushed off from the snow.Opposite the bench is a clearing under the snow, on the clearing two little snowmen are leaning their heads against each other in a sweet and very loving pose.
Huo Xiuxun subconsciously pursed his colorless thin lips.
He recalled that at the hospital gate just now, Pei Lin handed Huadan to him, "here".At that moment, he couldn't move at all. Although his reason kept yelling crazily, it wasn't what you thought, but his fingertips couldn't help trembling and secretly caressed the dewy wetness on the cellophane, and the scent of roses filled his nostrils. In his eyes, there are only those gray eyes with the tenderness of the stars under the neon lights.
Does this person understand how exciting and sweet a confession this scene looks to outsiders?
Not only did he think too much, even the passers-by nearby showed astonished expressions.
And he could only be in it, gritting his teeth, his heart beating wildly, humbly feeling the stolen ecstasy and bitterness.
Everything is so sweet that he can lie to himself to remember it for a lifetime, so that even if he wants to be angry, he can't get angry.
Like this kind of person, too tormented.
Just as he was thinking, his shoulders suddenly felt heavy and his side felt warm.
Huo Xiuxun took a deep breath silently, and continued to endure with all his strength—some robots without EQ really don't understand other people's feelings at all, they send roses in large crowds, and now they are leaning on him again!
Under the streetlight, Pei Lin looked up at him, with a hint of helplessness in his gray eyes: "Seth."
"That flower is for you."
Seeing that he didn't respond, he repeated it again: "It's not for my dad, nor for anyone else. It's for you, and it's specially bought for you."
"Do you know what I mean?"
"..."
Seven o'clock at night.The small church near the hospital immediately rang the bell, Dang Dang, Dang Dang - the main teaching building of the Medical University also started to ring the bell, the same Dang Dang, Dang Dang -
The sound of the bell covered Pei Lin's last few words, but successfully explained Xiao Q's confusion for 10 minutes.
Hey!
It just said, why does the master take the initiative to send flowers, but the male lead is so unresponsive?
It turned out that there was no reaction at all!
It's okay, okay, the master decisively pointed out the misunderstanding.Now the hero finally understands, right?
Woohoo, the hero has loved his master for so many years, and now his long-cherished wish is finally fulfilled.I don't know how happy, excited and wronged I should be, so what is the next step, can the two finally hold hands and kiss each other?Woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo..
It looks forward to it.
The male protagonist's eyes were red with anger, he hugged his master fiercely and rushed forward, the rose was crushed under his body...
Unexpectedly, after a while, Huo Xiuxun let out an "oh".
Unexpectedly peaceful.
Although he looked a little happy, after learning that it was for him, he reached out and touched the rose carefully, as if he was touching some furry animal.But soon, he withdrew that trace of joy and contentment.
"Professor Pei, I actually didn't do anything. You know that people have different personalities. Uncles and aunts are difficult for you to deal with, but they are easy for me to get along with."
"I have no trouble getting along with them, and I don't feel tired."
Little Q: […]
Wait, the hero, he still didn't understand anything!
Not only did he not understand it, but he seemed to have logically and wittily completed the reason why Pei Lin came to him suddenly at night - 1. To thank him for taking care of his father for him. 2. Because Tao Xiaoning's mother and daughter were upset and couldn't be resolved, he came to talk to him about his worries.
And this bouquet of roses is the gratitude compensation for the above two things.
then--
"Professor Pei, you don't have to be too harsh on yourself about Tao Xiaoning and her mother. It is impossible for this matter to have a perfect result for their mother and daughter, because anyone with a discerning eye can see that uncle only has aunt in his heart. I will never be happy with Aunt Tao anyway."
Little Q: […]
Is this still possible? ? ?
Fortunately, its owner didn't dislike it. He looked at Huo Xiuxun with gray eyes, half smiled, stretched out his hand and put the bouquet of roses beside him, and then wrapped his hands around Huo Xiuxun's.
All of a sudden, Huo Xiuxun's words froze again, and he froze, trying to hide his panic.
Pei Lin: "Are your hands cold?"
Huo Xiuxun shook his head: "It's not cold."
Pei Lin lowered his eyes: "Nonsense, I'm frozen."
It was only then that Huo Xiuxun realized that the temperature this day was minus two degrees, and since he had been holding flowers just now, his knuckles were indeed stiff with cold.
In a trance.
In the next second, there was a burst of scalding heat.Huo Xiuxun was stunned, unable to believe that Pei Lin put his frozen hands on his warm neck to keep warm.
But his hands are so cold, how icy they should be.
His mind was at a loss, and he spoke again, his voice hoarse: "Professor Pei, actually, regarding their mother and daughter, I really think you can... Try to open up your heart, don't be too stressed."
"It should be completely possible to continue to treat her as a younger sister and get along with her normally. There is no need to deliberately alienate her like last time. After all, it is Uncle Pei who is sorry for them, not you."
"Tao Xiaoning is not the kind of ignorant person, she will understand you."
"If she doesn't understand, I'll go talk to her."
"..."
He couldn't continue, Pei Lin's body temperature was abnormally high, his fingers connected to his heart, and the warm current flowed through the veins to the bottom of his heart.He subconsciously struggled, but did not break free.
"Professor Pei."
The voice was so hoarse that he couldn't bear it, but Pei Lin just looked at him quietly with those gray eyes, the look in his eyes was different from before, and there was something he couldn't understand.
Huo Xiuxun didn't dare to look at him again, he turned his eyes away: "It's a bit late, let's go back early."
"It's cold now, and it's getting dark outside early. Although the security is much better now, don't forget that our city was still a famous 'bandit city' 20 years ago."
……
That night, when Huo Xiuxun returned to the ward with the rose, Tang Caiping hadn't left yet.
Tang Caiping: "Hey, I even bought flowers, Xiaoxun, you really have a heart!"
Huo Xiuxun: "...No, Pei Lin bought it."
Pei Libin snorted: "Pull it down, fake filial piety, you want to buy Lao Shizi's flowers, but you run away without a trace?"
Tang Caiping was not happy to hear his words, and put her hips on her hips: "My son has been taking care of you for a few days, what's the matter with taking a break? How dare you say something unfilial, are you qualified to be a father? Do you care about your son every day? How can you kiss your son every day?" I don't have much to say to you late, do you? I think your communication skills are pretty good, so Xiaoxun has a lot of topics in common with you, and we have a good chat?"
"It just so happens that he is here, ask more about your son, learn more about your son, a bit like a father!"
Pei Libin held back, but didn't hold back: "Just talk about me, do you think you look like a mother? You don't stick to the family all the time, and you don't have the virtuousness of a woman at all."
Tang Caiping's voice instantly raised an octave: "What did you say?"
The two immediately started pecking at each other, and Huo Xiuxun exited the ward tactfully: "I'm going to fill the vase with some water."
As he said so, he walked towards the empty stairwell.Sitting on the steps holding the bottle of roses, I slowly buried my head in.
The world turned pale.
In an instant, he arrived at the hut in Frost's Landing World.I poked a few lines of code with Xiaolan, and soon, there was a hospital glass bottle filled with blooming red roses on the desk in the study.
...Probably because he has lost too many things, he has gradually developed a habit, once he has something, he wants to retain and seal it up as much as possible.
The flowers sent by the florist at home every week, he always dried them into dried flowers.
And today's bouquet of roses will of course be dried in the same way in a few days.But he really wanted to keep the scene of receiving the roses so much that it was not enough to dry them, and he had to copy them in his own small world.
Over the past few years, this hut has become much messier than before.
There are many more things.
There are a lot of bear and rabbit dolls and ornaments on the desk, all bought by Pei Linxian in the past few years when he was bored.There are also a lot of clothes in the closet, every new clothes that Pei Lin and Tang Caiping bought for him in the past few years.There are many more books on the bookshelf...
As a result, this house was supposed to be the duplicated Pei Lin's home, which was clean and tidy with Professor Pei X's indifferent style, but now he made it nondescript.
Huo Xiuxun smiled to himself.
Out of the corner of his eye, he suddenly stopped at the photos on the bookshelf, and his mind froze for a moment. Many of those photos were his fatal delusions when he first started to build this world a few years ago——
For example, he is looking forward to doing it all over again, Pei Lin will say that this little Xun is my cover, looking forward to Pei Lin taking him to amusement parks and outings, imagining the two of them laughing and making trouble together, and all kinds of...
Now it suddenly dawned on me that while not everything was in the order and detail of the photo, almost everything that he fantasized about happened.
He thought of the three big books in Pei Lin's house...now they are four big photo albums.
Many things that happened in reality are much better and richer than the craziest appearance in his delusions.
The latest content is that Pei Lin forced him to wear red and green contrasting antlers to dance at Christmas, bought a bunch of luminous New Year greeting cards to write together again, and slapped him in the snow under the setting sun. The face is that he was forced to make popcorn at home last month, but both of them were obsessed with observation and forgot to cover the pot. The popcorn popped all over the kitchen.
All the way back from medical school, his hand that was not holding flowers was always held by Pei Lin in his warm windbreaker pocket.
Huo Xiuxun had never been guessed like this in several lifetimes.
In the online literature he has read, this seems to be a very intimate and sweet gesture, a cash withdrawal that he secretly likes, so he enjoys it sourly and secretly.
Then, it was time to separate at the hospital gate.
Pei Lin suddenly pulled him without warning.
Because his hands were still in his pockets, he staggered and almost fell over. At that moment, the two of them were breathing so close.Then, Pei Lin looked at him with gray eyes, and there was another emotion that he couldn't understand.
He said, seth, come to my house during the Chinese New Year this year, and I will spend the first New Year with you.
"..."
First.Meaning, there can be a second, a third, right?Huo Xiuxun hugged himself and sat down on the floor of the study, buried his head in his knees and shook his head vigorously.
Don't be stupid, don't read too much, that's Professor Pei, he won't give you any sweet hints.
It's all about you being self-indulgent.Still don't understand?He didn't even send him roses to thank you like you think!
He is just greedy for your cooking skills and wants to eat rose cakes.
Huo Xiuxun thought about the conversation between the two on the way home, he was angry and funny.
"You, want me...to use this pickled rose cake?"
Pei Lin nodded: "Yes."
Huo Xiuxun's brain was about to explode immediately, and he looked at him like a fool: "The roses used for making rose flower cakes are edible double-petalled roses, the pink ones, of course not for viewing!"
Pei Lin: "Can't this be eaten?"
"cannot!!"
"So you sunbathe so much every day, isn't it for making tea?"
"Of course not! At most it's soaking..."
"What to drink?"
"..." Huo Xiuxun gritted his teeth, "Take a bath."
"Is it so important to take a bath with roses?"
Huo Xiuxun was very sad and indignant.It's not that he has that kind of attention and preference, but it's just that the more dried flowers are dried in the sun, it's too wasteful to put them there without using them.
Pei Lin: "You didn't say it earlier, I made tea with the roses you dried today."
Huo Xiuxun: "???"
"Have you made tea? Have you drank it? Professor Pei, can you have some basic knowledge of life? Did you eat your IQ, young master? How much did you drink? Did you drink it all? Are you okay, does your stomach hurt?"
……In summary.
Professor Pei was so angry that it gave people headaches, Huo Xiuxun could only comfort himself, anyway, if he wanted to eat something, he could still ask him to cook it, which is considered progress.He can be considered to have mastered a skill recognized by Professor Pei, at least he can catch his stomach.
Huo Xiuxun didn't know that Pei Linren was thinking about the same conversation while feeding the cat in the rental house.
Of course he made up the idea of eating flower cakes.
Can seth believe it? !
……
Among the novels that Huo Xiuxun likes to read, there is often a routine that Pei Lin doesn't understand.
The male lead and his buddies claim to be a "beautiful friendship", but the whole world thinks they are together, the whole school is talking about their CP, and the two of them will go on a daily date to hug and blush.Until one day the good buddies couldn't take it anymore and confessed to the hero, the hero suddenly looked shocked and even a little hurt: "I treat you as a good friend, but you actually want to sleep with me?"
This plot is ridiculously unreasonable.
Even Xiao Q, who is so stupid and sweet, doesn't believe that someone can be so dull, and has to admit, "This male lead is just a green tea pretending to be stupid, so he can watch it without a brain."
Pei Lin has always disliked things without brains.
It was not until today that I saw Huo Xiuxun's outrageousness with my own eyes that I wanted to try to believe the extremely unreasonable plots in some sand sculpture novels for the first time.
The little Q beside him sighed: [As expected of the male protagonist in the book, at the critical moment, he suddenly started to follow a dull routine without thinking! 】
Pei Lin lowered his eyes.
But Huo Xiuxun's is not dull.
He just couldn't believe it.
Even if everything is obvious, I still refuse to believe it.
He gave him roses, and a moment of surprise and flattery flashed in those amber eyes, followed by bewilderment, panic and bitterness.
He went to warm his hands, and the man's fingertips were trembling, trying to make amends by talking about the matter seriously.
Sentimental and humble, he put his hands in his pockets and stayed with him the whole time.A person who has been treated well for several years is still afraid, and still refuses to believe that someone who sends him flowers just wants to send him flowers, and refuses to believe that putting his hands in his pockets means simply liking him.
However, that's fine too.
It is convenient for him to rein in the precipice and temporarily modify the route.
Compared to "marry first, love later", Huo Xiuxun has always preferred to watch scenes where the domineering president chases after him without thinking, spoils him without thinking, and is foolish and sweet when he is spoiled all the time and feels like he has no one to cry about.
Now Pei Lin finally understood.
A person who has never been pampered will love to watch these things because he longs for the feeling of being pampered and given special treatment.
That being the case, how could he rely on himself being liked, just want a bouquet of roses to make things clear, and force him to accept that he wants to be nice to him suddenly?
That would be too cruel.
He can have a better way.Although Pei Lin also knows that he has no feelings and doesn't know how to be sweet, but anyway, he has really read a lot of outrageous books that Seth loves to read in the past few years.
He thought, with such a strong learning ability, it doesn't mean that he can't learn to make sweetness and romance.
