After returning from the hospital, my freedom was limited to a bed.

This may sound ambiguous, but it is true.

Xu Xiaomo's facial paralysis itself is intimidating, not to mention the other party's cold face.

He told me in a serious tone that he could only lie down on the bed and rest.

I got up during the period and planned to collect the things I brought back.

As soon as I opened the box, the door also opened.

Xu Xiaomo frowned, I was very conscious, and rolled back to the bed obediently.

It was already evening, the curtains were drawn tightly, the room was dimly lit, and with the warm temperature, no matter how you looked at it, it was suitable for sleeping.

But I can't sleep.

After staring at the ceiling for a long time, I gave up on sleep, reached out to find the phone, and remembered that the phone was with Xu Xiaomo.

As soon as I got out of the car, Xu Xiaomo asked for my mobile phone.

I felt dizzy, so I gave it to him without thinking too much about it.

"You have a good rest, don't play with your phone all the time." He stuffed my phone into his pocket.

I:"……"

Is it too late to regret now?

I lay on the bed and sighed.

In the end, I ran to the box and secretly took a black box.

I seem to be back in high school when I was reading comics in self-study class. While using both eyes and ears, I also had to keep my acting skills online at all times. As soon as the teacher came, he spread out the homework with lightning speed.

Just like I am now, the upper body of the agent found out my little black box, fumbled out what I wanted, and quickly flashed back to the bed, covered the quilt and closed my eyes to rest.

I closed my eyes for a while, and found that there was still no sound outside.

I confidently took the things out from under the pillow.

Unfortunately, I took the wrong thing.

Originally, I wanted to take a felt to play with, but I touched the furry thing, but now I found it was a little pig.

And it was the one that Master Xu asked for by name.

When I saw this thing, I inevitably remembered what happened that day.Xu Xiaomo said at the time that I was heartless.

Although he didn't know what the other party was referring to, Xu Xiaomo seemed to really have the right to say this.

Since we met, his attitude towards me has always been a bit strange, but looking around, the man has never done anything really out of line.

I've had countless idiots growing up, but that doesn't mean I'm one.

I'm not blind either, and I can't see a man's kindness towards me.

Especially after returning from the hospital, I became more and more suspicious of Xu Xiaomo's intentions.

I think Xu Xiaomo is interested in me.

I was confused before, thinking that he regarded me as a substitute for my younger brother.

But now that I think about it seriously, I realize that I was wrong.

Xu Xiaomo is indeed weird, but he can't have that kind of thought about his own brother.

I thought about it for a while, but still couldn't figure out one point.

If the other party really likes me, why insist on keeping a distance.

too weird……

……

……

I don't know when I fell asleep, probably because my brain found that I couldn't turn the corner, so I simply shut down and went to sleep.

The warm yellow wall lamp by the bed was on, and Xu Xiaomo was sitting on a sofa chair not far away, reading a book.

I didn't make a sound, and looked at the man calmly.

But I underestimated the sensitivity of the other party. Almost at the same moment, he raised his head aware of it.

"Are you awake?" He put down the book and walked slowly to the bed.

I hummed and wanted to say something, but found that my throat was burning.

Xu Xiaomo felt the temperature of my forehead with the back of his hand, and then said, "Eat some food first, and I will give you medicine later."

I lay on the bed and nodded, then waited expectantly.

After a day of tossing, my stomach is already hungry, and I am waiting a lot, just waiting for a full meal.

After seeing clearly what Xu Xiaomo brought in, I almost shed tears.

It was a bowl of white porridge that couldn't be whiter.

The color is light, and you don't need to taste it to know that it is tasteless and watery.

"Let's eat." Xu Xiaomo said calmly, ignoring my disappointed gaze.

Just white porridge, it's better than nothing.

I sighed, and resigned myself to my porridge.

But halfway through the drink, Xu Xiaomo told me not to drink it.

I looked at him inexplicably.

"Don't eat too much," he said. "You have a fever, it's better to have an empty stomach."

I couldn't help but say, "I'm dizzy, not my stomach hurts..."

Xu Xiaomo didn't care about me, he took my porridge away, and said seriously: "Xiao Puyun said that."

……

I feel like I've been tricked by someone.

Food is the most important thing for the people. I have had a miserable life for the past two or three days, and I am in a state of half-starvation every day.

Not only that, I haven't eaten a little oil for a few days, and I will be eager for a peanut.

I have been allowed to move from bed, and I walked into the living room when Xu Xiaomo was not paying attention.

The cabinet is full, but there is no snack.

In the end, I wanted to cry without tears and said to Xu Xiaomo: "At least let me chew some peanuts and send porridge."

Xu Xiaomo dismissed it because it was bad for the throat.

On the fourth day, I took out the thermometer, ran up to him excitedly, and told him with certainty that my fever had subsided.

"37.8 degrees." He took the thermometer and looked at it, "It's still a low fever."

I cry in my heart.

"I just want to eat a scrambled egg..."

He flatly refused, "No."

I lowered my head, unavoidably a little frustrated.

Xu Xiaomo suddenly said, "Your hat is upside down."

The hoodie I'm wearing today, I probably didn't pay attention when I put it on, and turned the hood inside out.

Hearing the sound, I stretched my hands behind, but I couldn't do it no matter what.

Xu Xiaomo said at this time: "Let me help you."

Instead of turning me around, he faced me directly and held out his hand.We stuck very close at once, and that posture was like being embraced by him.

"It's done." After a while, his voice rang in my ear.

I bowed my head and said thank you.

Xu Xiaomo didn't take back his hand, he put his hand on my shoulder, and looked down at me in this tight position.

I seemed to see my own face in his eyes.

But after all, it was a little blurry, unable to reflect the face that turned red due to the heat.

I can only feel the heat on my cheeks.

But Xu Xiaomo can.

The other person's face was getting closer and closer, and at the moment when I was about to meet, I suddenly closed my eyes.

But everything stopped with the darkness.

The strength on my shoulders suddenly disappeared.After opening his eyes, Xu Xiaomo had retreated to a safe distance.

"I'll get you medicine." His voice sounded calm, as if everything just now was just my hallucination.

I stared at his back, and for the first time, I had the idea of ​​testing.

The next night, Xu Xiaomo watched me finish taking the medicine as usual.

"The last piece," he said to me, "I'll make you scrambled eggs tomorrow."

"Um……"

My mind is no longer on scrambled eggs, and my mind is full of my own little calculations.

Xu Xiaomo picked up the cup, walked to the door and stopped again.I watched him walk back, and then naturally tucked the corner of the quilt into me.

During the movement, his hand inadvertently rubbed against my face, which was as warm as ever.

My brain got hot and I made a bold decision immediately.

When he tucked in the quilt, I pretended to adjust the pillow, straightened up slightly, and tilted my head forward.

Xu Xiaomo didn't expect my action, and before I had time to react, I posted it.

Our lips touched like a superficial touch, and we separated again in an instant.

I pretended not to care and lay back, casually said: "Ah, I'm sorry..."

I tried my best to keep my tone flat, as if I really didn't care much.

In fact, my heart was beating faster and faster, like a frightened rabbit.

Xu Xiaomo didn't move, he just stared at me for a while in the original posture.

Then his eyes darkened suddenly, but without saying anything, he got up and left the room without hesitation.

This time it was my turn to be dumbfounded.

When the door slammed, I realized that the other party left without saying a word.

Does he have no mood swings at all?

But I have!

I buried my face in the quilt and took a deep breath, feeling ashamed and embarrassed at the moment.

Am I wrong?Is it my wishful thinking?

I recalled Xu Xiaomo's slightly cold face just now, and I even lamented repeatedly.

It's over, I feel like he's very upset.

……

……

The next day I paced back and forth in front of the door, muttering non-stop.

"Good morning."

No, this is too formal, it feels unnatural.

"Morning~"

This will be considered frivolous...

In the end, I decided to take Jane as my ancestor, and it was better to say it early.And the expression should be natural, the posture should be casual, pretending that nothing happened.

But sometimes, the more tense something is, the more it will go against it.

I finally worked up the courage to go downstairs, and I saw a slender and tall figure at a glance.

After Xu Xiaomo saw me, he put down his plate and walked towards me.

Before I could recover, he had already come to me and touched the back of my neck in a natural motion.It was as light as a gust of warm wind, leaving only the temperature.

"Morning." He lowered his eyes and whispered to me.

My ears were a little numb, and my brain froze for a moment. The expression management I had prepared before was thrown away by me at this moment.

I should have replied good morning calmly, but after a moment of silence, I only let out an eh.

"Uh……"

He suddenly raised the corner of his mouth and gave a low laugh with no clear meaning.

"Scrambled eggs?" he asked me.

I absent-mindedly said eat.

After breakfast, I'm more impressed with the people than the eggs, and I can't even remember what I had for breakfast.

But it doesn't matter, Chef Xu can always help me recall.At noon, I looked at the plate of scrambled eggs on the table and felt inexplicably familiar.

Have you seen it this morning?

The same delicate plate, the same golden egg.

Waiting until dinner, I saw it for the third time.

To be precise, it should be the brothers and sisters from the morning group.

The most terrible thing is that Xu Xiaomo doesn't know how to eat it, but he will tell me to eat it.During the day, I would still obey and do as I was told, but at night, I felt that all my dreams tonight were scrambled eggs.

I couldn't help asking Xu Xiaomo: "Did you buy too many eggs?"

In other words, why eat eggs every meal.

I'm not that protein deficient.

He looked calm, "No, don't you like to eat?"

I just remembered the time when I had a fever, and I couldn't talk for a while.

Actually I don't like it that much...

I probably saw my gloomy face. After the meal, Xu Xiaomo said that he would not do it tomorrow.

"Do you have anything else you want to eat?" he asked me.

Seeing my hesitation, he said again: "I should be able to do it."

I thought to myself, I'm not doubting your ability, I'm just worried that I will be forced to face the whole day and doubt my life.

……

……

After some time, my body was completely back to normal, but my heart was still a little heavy.Once I sat on the sofa and flipped through the address book, looking at the names of the people in a daze.

Xu Xiaomo's voice suddenly rang in my ears, "Are you going out this weekend?"

I was startled, and with a flick of my finger, the call was made.

Xu Xiaomo and I looked at the two big characters "Gu Shang" on the interface, and fell silent at the same time.

"I'm going to the study." After finishing his expressionless expression, he turned around and planned to leave.

I hurriedly called him to stop and thought of the phone again. I looked down and found that the call interface had disappeared.

Xu Xiaomo also noticed, "Did you hang up?"

I hummed, "I didn't hang up..."

It is clear at a glance who hung it.

The reason is actually not difficult to guess.

I leaned on the sofa a little dejectedly, Xu Xiaomo sat down and stayed with me.

After a while, he suddenly asked me: "Why are you calling Gu Shang?"

I said it was accidentally pressed out.

He raised his eyebrows.

I was defeated and had to say, "I've got to talk to him about the contract."

In order not to make the other party think too much, I added a sentence: "Reform through labor contract!"

He said, "No need."

"I talked to Gu Shang."

What?

There was too much information, I couldn't digest it immediately, I just looked at him dumbly, "When?"

Xu Xiaomo replied: "The days when you had a fever."

He said: "I told Gu Shang that I can help you pay back the money."

I didn't ask Gu Shang what to say, but asked: "Why?"

Are you going to be like Gu Shang?

Like him before.

I stared into the other person's eyes, but saw the man suddenly smile.

That relaxed smile was so rare on a man's face.

He stretched out his hand in a good mood, touched my forehead, and said, "Because I have to help you."

what is this.

I shrank my neck and stopped responding.

He continued: "But I am different from Gu Shang, I am not supporting you, you have to work for me."

I thought about it, and couldn't help but blurted out: "Didn't I work in your company?"

The smile in his eyes seemed to deepen, "Yes, just right."

"But I have a condition." He suppressed his smile and said solemnly, "You are not allowed to meet Gu Shang again."

I paused, and insisted on asking again: "Why?"

But the other party still didn't give the answer I expected.

He was even more perfunctory than before, "There is no reason."

……

……

After a few days, I packed up and went to work full of energy.For the sake of identity, Xu Xiaomo and I walked separately, but as before, when I was free in the afternoon, men would call me to the corridor entrance.

They have their own thoughts, but talk about irrelevant topics.

I think Xu Xiaomo's mind is really difficult to guess.

But I can't run up to a man and ask him aggressively if he likes me.

No way to test, no way to guess, there is only one way left when the donkey is exhausted.

But for me now, that difficulty is comparable to the sky.

On Saturday, Xu Xiaomo said he would take me to the movies.But at noon, he was called away by another phone call.

I thought of Gu Shang inappropriately, he took me to the hospital that day, and left in the same way on the way.

That would start life again, and then get out of hand.

Gu Shang didn't even come back that night.

But Xu Xiaomo said to me, "Wait for me at home."

I haven't heard the word "home" for a long time. Before, Gu Shang couldn't say it, and I didn't dare to think about it.When I heard this, I couldn't help but froze.

After ten o'clock in the evening, Xu Xiaomo came back. He looked a little anxious, and seemed to be planning to go inside after putting down the key.

But the moment he saw me on the sofa, he immediately calmed down.

I looked at him and suddenly felt that I didn't need to test anything anymore.

In fact, the answer is already obvious.

But his attitude always made me puzzled. This feeling made me a little restless, like what I want is clearly in front of me, but I can't touch it, and there seems to be a layer of fog in front of me.

Under the mist, some things that can be seen clearly become blurred and uncertain.

Xu Xiaomo still took me to the movies, even though it was late at night.

I suggested to come here, why not just watch the premiere.

Immediately I regretted it.

Because there was only one movie that premiered that night, and it was a horror movie.Before I had time to change my words, I heard Xu Xiaomo say that I had already bought the ticket.

I:"……"

I had no choice but to bite the bullet and follow.There were quite a few people watching this show, almost all of them were couples.Amid all the screams inside and outside the play, I chose to close my eyes.

But people can't match curiosity. I heard the girl next to me gasp, and then she said to her companion, "It seems that there are no more."

I thought it was over and opened my eyes immediately.

It was also at this time that I suddenly remembered that Xu Xiaomo was sitting on my left, and there was obviously only a wall on my right.

It is true that there are stereos on the wall.

That female voice...

The next second, a pale "human" face suddenly appeared on the screen, with purple lips, long tongue, and blood oozing from between the fangs, accompanied by the sound of dripping blood, and That thing's hoarse and weird laugh.

The same scream as the heroine sounded in the theater.

"Fuck!" I yelled in fright, subconsciously leaning against the wall.

Immediately afterwards, I heard the ghost say again: "Tomorrow night...tomorrow night...I will break out of the wall too, you...you will never escape..."

I:"……"

I immediately changed direction.

As soon as I leaned on it, my shoulder bumped against Xu Xiaomo.Xu Xiaomo's body seemed to froze for a moment, I felt embarrassed, and was about to retract my body to apologize, when his hand suddenly tightened mine.

It wasn't until the end of the movie that the man let go of my hand.

I glanced at my left hand, and with the rising temperature of my face, I almost thought I had a fever again.

During lunch break on Monday, I called Li Xing.

"Has your boss had a girlfriend or boyfriend before?" I hesitated, "Uh, I mean a partner..."

"No." Li Xing thought for a long time, "Anyway, I haven't seen it. I guessed before he was born, his emotions and desires were wiped out."

"Besides, besides being pretty, who would really like his face?" He murmured.

I:"……"

Sorry, I just like it.

"Is your boss in the office?" I asked him.

Li Xing said, "Yes, but I have to go to a meeting later."

I swallowed, "Then let him wait for me, I'll go up and find him."

……

……

After 10 minutes, I got out of the elevator and entered the corridor after a moment of hesitation.

Then I sent a message to Xu Xiaomo.

After a while, he opened the door and walked in, looking at me with some doubts, "What's wrong?"

Seeing that I was silent, he frowned, "Is there any discomfort?"

"I feel uncomfortable..." I leaned against the door and rubbed my nose.

He showed a puzzled look.

The sun rose high in the afternoon, and the sunlight came in from the window behind the man, as if plating a golden streak on the man's body.Xu Xiaomo's face was bathed in warm light, and I could see something clearly on that unreal face.

I remembered a word.

Just like that skylark, carefully holding the sun in its mouth, and flying towards me through heavy clouds and mist.

The mist dissipates, and my heart is also bright.

I took a few deep breaths, closed my eyes again, and then said slowly, "Did I say before that my wish is very effective?"

Xu Xiaomo paused and said no.

"But in fact, I don't believe in these things. I will make wishes, often when there is really nothing I can do."

I didn't bother to go up to look at Xu Xiaomo, and continued on my own: "I only made a wish twice. When I was a child, I made a wish to make those two bastards of my family suffer, but they were really unlucky."

"Later, I was tricked by them and owed a lot of debt. It would be the end of the road, so I made another wish, hoping that a good person could save the child."

"Then Gu Shang appeared, and then I was tricked again."

"Now I have that feeling of being overwhelmed again. It stands to reason that I should make a wish, maybe God will favor me again." I sighed and summoned up the courage to say, "But this wish is related to you, I I'm afraid you'll trick me."

"What wish?" He asked me aloud, his voice trembling slightly.

"I hope I didn't fall in love with the wrong person this time."

"Xu Xiaomo, although it's a bit absurd, I seem to really like you."

As soon as my words fell, the corridor immediately became quiet.

I raised my eyes secretly, but found that the other party was not looking at me.Xu Xiaomo lowered his head slightly, his eyes drooping as if he was thinking, but I couldn't quite see the expression on his face.

At this moment, Li Xing's voice and some other footsteps sounded outside the fire door.

"Have you seen Mr. Xu?" Li Xing asked anxiously.

And the footsteps outside the back door seem to be a little more, even approaching.

Xu Xiaomo heard it too, and he glanced at the door.

I could see the man's face clearly, without emotion, as calm as water.

Like a boulder falling, my heart sank, and I had the idea of ​​fleeing.

I lowered my head, walked towards the stairs, and said to him, "Go to the meeting, I'm going back too."

"I..." In the middle of the walk, I stopped and said to him pretending to be casual, "I was just joking..."

He suddenly stopped me, "Wait a minute."

I didn't know why, so I stood still and watched him approach step by step.The other party's face suddenly enlarged, he reached out and held my face in his hands, and then my mouth became hot.

Like a trickling spring under the sun, it flows gently and gently, with warmth and nostalgia.

I froze, and it took me a long time to realize that I had been kissed.I even felt the other party bite me lightly.

After an unknown amount of time, he let go of me, a smile seemed to overflow from his face.

He wiped my mouth with his fingertips and raised his eyebrows.

"Let's go." He said lightly, pushed the door and walked out.

I held on to the side railing to steady myself.It was like a shocking wave was set off in my heart, and I couldn't calm down for a long time.
