bother you

I am used to the small life of two people, so I can no longer endure the school dormitory.The first thing Yan Xiao did when he returned to Xun City was to rent a one-bedroom apartment near Xun University that could be moved in immediately.

The landlord is a kind middle-aged man. The purpose of buying this house is to rent it to college students who have a lot of money. The decoration was completed half a year ago, and the rental information was only posted last week.Because it is a new house and it is well decorated, the price is relatively high. There are many people looking at it, but no one sells.

Yan Xiao was anxious to find a comfortable place to live, and money was not an issue, so he immediately signed a contract with the landlord, and when everything was settled, the sun had just set.

Running was exhausting, he had no appetite, and fell asleep after lying on the sofa, and woke up completely dark, and his stomach was almost unconscious.

He sat up, picked up his phone, and looked at Zhaofan's number, but he didn't press down on it.

At this point, if there is no special task, Zhaofan has already left work.He couldn't help thinking, did Fanfan go home?Have you got a meal yet?What did you eat?Are you tired?See the note on the refrigerator?

did you miss me?

After a moment of trance, he put the phone beside him and raised his hand to touch his earlobe.

The earlobe was cool, and there was no feeling of burning.

It seems that Zhaofan didn't talk about him.

Before leaving, the landlord sent a box of mineral water, but the water can only quench thirst, not fill the stomach.He got up and changed his clothes, planning to go out and find a place to eat a bowl of fried rice or noodles.

The outside of Xun University is very lively, and there are food stalls crowded outside several school gates.This is the critical period of preparing for the end of the term. The students are tired from studying during the day and dislike the food in the cafeteria, so they come out in groups to reward themselves at night.

Yan Xiao walked among the juniors, suddenly feeling out of place.

In the past, he was also one of them. He didn't like to eat in the cafeteria, let alone cook by himself. He almost finished his meals at the food stalls. He had eaten all the shops around Xun University.

But now, looking at these steaming food stalls, I feel strange.

It seemed like it had been a long time since I had eaten out, especially in the evenings and mornings.

Zhaofan ate at the branch office at noon. He was busy coding, and often cooked a bowl of noodles or scrambled eggs and fried rice, just to fill his stomach.It was dinner in the evening, he wrote until five o'clock to finish work, and immediately went to the supermarket to buy ingredients, and it was ready after six o'clock, and we would eat together when Zhaofan came back.

When the house is on fire, I don't like to go out to eat.Standing next to the casserole rice noodle stall that was the most palatable when I was a junior, I don't seem to particularly want to eat it.

The boss recognized him and greeted him with a smile, "Student, I haven't seen you for a long time, are you doing an internship in another place?"

He paid with a smile, didn't deny it, and found a seat to sit down.

After a while, the rice noodle casserole was on the table.

He was not used to the buzz of people around him, so he took out his phone after eating a few mouthfuls, but he didn't see any new news.

Zhaofan talked a lot, he was busy eating and talking, he never felt noisy, but now listening to the sounds around him, he suddenly regretted not letting the boss pack it.

There is a small vegetable market next to the community where he lives. He passed by with the paper towels he just bought and other daily necessities. His first reaction was to go in and buy some vegetables. He walked out, but then stopped.

Zhaofan is not around, so what else to buy.

He has no interest in cooking, and the last time he said "you have to learn a few home-cooked dishes when you live alone" was purely a lie.If he really lived alone, he wouldn't even bother to learn the simplest egg noodles.It's not that there is no money, where to eat is not to eat.

I learned how to cook for Zhaofan. At first it was because Zhaofan was injured and had to eat light and nutritious food. Later, I became obsessed with Zhaofan’s reaction—no matter what he did, Zhaofan always ate happily.

Zhaofan is really easy to raise.

At the end of the year, the workload suddenly increased. Even the trainee police had to work overtime one after another, sometimes all night and sometimes until early morning.

Zhao Fan had already finished eating the Chaoshou dumplings that Yan Xiao had left at home—Yan Xiao didn’t let him eat them every day, but he couldn’t help it, and he didn’t stop until he emptied the refrigerator and had nothing to eat.

Dry noodles, eggs, milk, bread, and eight-treasure porridge were also gone.These are easy to say, you can buy them yourself after eating.

Only the dumplings are copied by hand, and you can't eat them after you finish eating them.

When he found that the freezer was empty, Zhaofan squatted on the ground for a long time in frustration.

It was already two o'clock in the middle of the night, and he and other special policemen had a small mission. When they came back, they were exhausted. They just wanted to eat some hot food and go to bed quickly, but the chashou they had been thinking about had already been eaten.

It would be great if Yan Xiao didn't go back to school, he thought so while cooking noodles, and laying down on the bed after hastily eating, tossing and turning, unable to fall asleep.

After that day, he didn't really want to go back home.One is that I am too busy to live in a dormitory, and the other is that it seems meaningless to go back.

It's just sleeping, there is a bed, and I can sleep anywhere.

In the past, he thought that he was particularly fond of Yan Xiao's house. It was in a good location, well decorated, well lit, and the sofa and bed were comfortable to sleep on.He rushes home after get off work every day, and no longer has sex with Yu Ke and others.

It is only now that I gradually realize that the house is not very good, the good one is Yan Xiao.

Yan Xiao took care of him almost meticulously.

And he is relying more and more on Yan Xiao.

With Yan Xiao here, the home is particularly attractive.

Without Yan Xiao, his urge to go back has faded a lot.

When he realized this, he was stunned for a long time, his fingers tightened, and his palms were sweating.

"The house is nice." Lin Haocheng came to Shancheng on a business trip, stayed in the designated guest house, and came to see Zhaofan at night.

Knowing that he was coming, Zhaofan cleaned the house ahead of time and ordered some dishes from nearby restaurants.

The father and son ate food while drinking, chatting about their lives in recent months.If it wasn't for Zhaofan's slip of the tongue, Lin Haocheng would not have known that he was injured a while ago.

"It's been done long ago." Zhao Fan's cheeks were blush from the alcohol, "Brother Xiao has taken care of me for more than a month, and there is nothing wrong with my ankle now."

"Brother Xiao?" Lin Haocheng already had some guesses.

"Ah, just my friend who shares the rent with me." Zhao Fan said, "Going back to school for the time being to take the exam."

Lin Haocheng nodded and did not continue.

After the meal, Zhaofan brought fruit and sat on the sofa to peel it.

Lin Haocheng wandered around the room again, and when he took the peeled apple, he asked, "The person you told me on the phone last time is Brother Xiao, right?"

Zhaofan stopped holding the fruit knife.

Lin Haocheng said again: "Sophomore summer vacation, when you go home, is he the one who had a conflict with you?"

Zhaofan was a little embarrassed, "It's been so long, do you still remember?"

"I don't remember anything about you." Lin Haocheng smiled, "You are now..."

"Good friend!" Zhaofan said.

Lin Haocheng raised his eyebrows, "Huh?"

Zhao Fan has been avoiding thinking about this matter recently, and he is unwilling to call Yan Xiao, so he quickly changed the subject, "Brother Hao, I may not be able to go back for the Spring Festival this year, and the bureau has to be on duty."

"I know, so didn't I come to see you in advance?" Lin Haocheng could see his resistance, but as a parent, it is impossible to completely ignore the emotional life of your children. If you are not together, you can't say no on the phone Clearly, but since we met, I couldn't help but say a few more words, "You have been assertive since you were a child, and your personality is also open-minded. When I carried you home, you were only five years old, such a small one."

Lin Haocheng made gestures and smiled, "I'm almost 22 years old now, and in a few months, I will officially set foot in society."

Zhaofan said, "Nostalgic again."

"When the son grows up, which father doesn't miss the past?" Lin Haocheng is resolute, and only when facing his worry-free son, he will show a gentle and loving side, "My hope for you is not your future. What great achievements you have made is that you have a good time, have someone to accompany you, and don't wrong yourself."

Zhao Fan pursed his lips.

"You suffered enough when you were a child. I swore to myself back then that I would let you grow up safely and happily, never to be wronged, bullied, or suffer any more." Lin Haocheng squinted his eyes, It seems to have seen the time of the past ten years, "It's very good, you have become a child that makes me proud."

Zhaofan's eyes were sore, "Dad..."

"But I can't protect you forever." Lin Haocheng smiled, "Last time when you asked me why I didn't get married, I said it was because I didn't meet the right person, and I didn't have any yearning for marriage. Actually, when I was with you I met before we became dependent on each other."

Zhaofan opened his eyes wide and looked at Lin Haocheng.

"But I missed it." Lin Haocheng sighed lightly, "If I missed it, I would never have that thought again."

"Why didn't you say that before?" Zhao Fan asked.

"There's nothing to talk about." Lin Haocheng said, "I can't talk to you as a child."

Both of them fell into silence. After a while, Lin Haocheng said: "I have lived a good life these years. I have ideals on the outside and a son on the inside. But I occasionally think, if I chose another path in my early twenties , Will you be happier now? Actually, there is no answer to this, and I don’t regret it. But as I get older, I am not so determined, and I am always worried that you will have no one to accompany you in the future.”

"dad."

Lin Haocheng babbled for a while, and he didn't sound like a strong and iron-blooded special police captain at all. He didn't pat Zhaofan's shoulder until it was almost time to go back, "Let's go, you're fine. Dad will support you no matter what decision you make. .”

After seeing Lin Haocheng off, Zhaofan lay on the balcony railing for a long time.

The subtle changes in his feelings made him feel a rare sense of panic.

He is sure that he wants to live with Yan Xiao, Yan Xiao is a very important existence similar to a relative.

But he couldn't imagine the "lover relationship", and he didn't want to become lovers with Yan Xiao.

Already an adult, he naturally knows what two people have to do to live together as lovers.A few days ago, he couldn't hold back and found a video of two men on the Internet.

As soon as the picture appeared, goose bumps appeared all over his body.No desire at all, only discomfort.

He immediately turned off the video and rushed into the bathroom. In the cold winter, he actually took a cold shower.

When he thought that he and Yan Xiao would be intertwined like in the movie, fear ran wildly in his limbs.
