before and after
Work related (3)
Very contagious.
Liang Xiao knew that Ye Ruixin was still studying law and was going to take the Hong Kong lawyer's license exam.Although he is talking about Hong Kong Pu now, because the language is not fluent, it has somewhat affected his fluent expression.But it's not hard to imagine him defending in a lawyer's robe and with a white wig.
That flamboyant look suits him, it must be fun.
"Are you listening to me?"
Seeing Liang Xiao's distraction, Ye Ruixin stopped his new product presentation in displeasure.
"You should let customers experience the product in person, and then let them make an evaluation." Liang Xiao said.
"Did you make a mistake! You thought I was sales! [Are you mistaken, did you think I was a salesman?]" He spoke Cantonese again angrily.
Liang Xiao can already understand some everyday words, although they are not good, but I have to admit that Ye Ruixin still speaks Cantonese nicely.
"What did you say?" Liang Xiao asked deliberately.
"I'll take the trouble to talk to you! [I'm too lazy to talk to you]" Saying that, Ye Ruixin walked out of Liang Xiao's room.
After Ye Ruixin left, Liang Xiao sat down at the desk.
The wall where the bookcase was originally placed has a movable partition, and the height and position can be adjusted at will according to the size of the book, so that Liang Xiao can store all kinds of materials, large and small.The partition has a whole front and is connected with the desk, forming a corner area next to the window.
Liang Xiao thought about Ye Ruixin's introduction just now, and turned on the switch of the floor lamp according to what he said.This light is brighter than the original night reading light, and the color temperature can also be adjusted.
Sitting on the newly purchased single sofa is more comfortable than it looks, and you can easily get the books on the shelf, which is indeed much more convenient.
A light cough.Liang Xiao looked back, Ye Ruixin was leaning against the door frame with a cup of coffee.
"You learn to express your feelings. For example, approval of my taste."
Liang Xiao looked at his face waiting for praise, and said:
"Thank you."
Hearing Liang Xiao's serious thanks, Ye Ruixin was a little surprised.There was no answer for a while, and it took a few seconds before he smiled.
"My pleasure." Ye Ruixin said leisurely.
Liang Xiao's life changed unconsciously like this.It can range from the layout of the whole house to the movement of the switch position on the wall.The aftermath of such a change quietly breeds something.Unexpected, reasonable.
Humans are very adaptable, especially to a more comfortable life.In just a few days, Liang Xiao got used to the convenience brought by this "new home".I'm also used to having more of Ye Ruixin's personal belongings at home—the scent of his cologne of various fragrances, and the half bottle of tequila in the double-door refrigerator.
[tequila, tequila. ]
In the coffee shop, the black tea that seemed to warm your hands has already turned cold.Liang Xiao still held it tightly in his hand, knowing whether it was warm or not.
The part about Ye Ruixin in time is scattered in memory.It's like an empty perfume bottle, with the last scent lingering on the remaining air in the bottle.
How many times Liang Xiao wanted to open it, but it stopped in mid-air.He was afraid that the only remembrance would gradually dissipate in the air, and he would have nowhere to look for it.
He was afraid that his heart was really empty.
Ye Ruixin's reappearance was due to a sudden crack in the bottle.
The fragrance spread out in an instant, penetrated into the tip of the nose, and even invisibly penetrated into the body from every skin.Liang Xiao was caught off guard.Memories then swept over, so strong that there was nowhere to put them.
Liang Xiao looked out the window, and there was heavy snow falling on the way they came.He even began to doubt whether he really met Ye Ruixin again.
All the details of being in the hospital just now were played back involuntarily, to remind himself that everything was not an illusion.He is still alive, he is still in this world.
The snow fell one by one, soft and brittle, but quietly accumulated.Layer upon layer, unknowingly dyed the world white.
Liang Xiao looked out the window, thinking of the first snowfall that year.
"Liang Xiao! Look at the snow!"
The sound in the ear and the shaking body broke the quiet morning, Liang Xiao was sure that his alarm clock hadn't rung.In other words, it's less than 7 o'clock in the morning.
Liang Xiao slept late last night, the lack of sleep and the feeling of being woken up obviously affected his mood.
"Early in the morning..."
But at the moment when he turned his head to look at the culprit, Liang Xiao didn't say anything further.Ye Ruixin was wrapping a blanket and sticking it in front of the glass window, staring out the window with wide-eyed eyes.The look of joy is like a child looking forward to Santa Claus, looking forward to the reindeer flying by the window.
It's hard to bear to interrupt.
"Come out with me!"
"what?"
This request made Liang Xiao's softness evaporate instantly.But Ye Ruixin didn't care about the refusal in this sentence, he picked up Liang Xiao's hanging clothes and threw them on his bed.
"Hurry up, I'll wait for you downstairs!"
When this sentence was finished, Ye Ruixin had already left the door.
Unlike Ye Ruixin, Liang Xiao never had the habit of going back to sleep.So he also had to put on his clothes and wash.Although he was reluctant, Liang Xiao decided to deal with this fussy southerner first, so as not to cause a whole day of uncleanness.
Although born in Hangzhou, Liang Xiao immigrated to the northern part of the United States with his parents when he was about to enter junior high school.So for Liang Xiao, snow is the most common thing every winter.
Ye Ruixin has been excited about the snow since last night, he said he has never seen falling snow.Hope it can last night, the bigger the better.
Liang Xiao looked at the few inches of snow on the ground outside the window, as he wished.Liang Xiao put on a thick coat and added a scarf before leaving.
It's not even seven o'clock yet, and the surroundings are quiet and silent.Most of the people have not gotten up yet, except for the main road, the eyes are all white.
Liang Xiao walked down the stairs, the fresh snow on the stairs was only Ye Ruixin's footsteps.The crunching sound reaches the ears with every step.With the cold air, it is refreshing.
This freshness is the most attractive part of Chuxue.
Perhaps hearing Liang Xiao's footsteps, Ye Ruixin, who was walking on the snow alone in the open space, walked over quickly.Before Liang Xiao could tell him to be careful of the slippery snow, he watched Ye Ruixin slip and fall in front of him.The fall was not light, and he sat on the snow, looking clumsy and funny.
Liang Xiao laughed without the slightest sympathy, and he could even imagine Ye Ruixin's reaction in a while.With his extremely high image requirements for himself, how could wrestling be allowed.Probably even if there is no one within a hundred miles, he can't accept this fact.
He must be furious!
To Liang Xiao's surprise, Ye Ruixin laughed out loud himself.He simply sat in the snow, carefully grabbed a handful of snow with his hands, and kneaded it into snowballs without fear of freezing.
Ye Ruixin exerted a little force, and the round and clear snowball burst on his reddish fingertips, and scattered under the clear blue sky, like fireworks.
"Liang Xiao, build a snowman with me!"
In Liang Xiao's memory, his name was always called by Ye Ruixin's first and last name like this.His tone is always a little different from others.It is a kind of intimacy that is so familiar that you can "call and drink".It was as if Liang Xiao couldn't refuse any of his requests after saying these two words.
Now recall carefully.Liang Xiao suddenly found that he had accepted almost all his "invitations".There may be bickering and negotiation in the process, but in the end it is all about compromise.
Ye Ruixin wanted his first snowman to last longer.The two of them walked a little further, looking for the best place to build a snowman in the neighborhood on a winter morning.
At the corner of the last street, there is a not-so-small lawn with a white ash planted there.Few people will walk on this lawn.
"Today is sunny, and the snow will melt at noon."
Ye Ruixin should be in a good mood that day, Liang Xiao's boring answer did not provoke him to scold him, instead he turned to look at Liang Xiao and said:
"When you say that, I think of a lyrics."
After speaking, Ye Ruixin began to hum softly.
"You are a thousand piles of snow, and I am Changjie. I am afraid that when the sun rises, we will disintegrate each other. Who has the right not to understand when the butterflies cannot fly to the end of the world."
Ye Ruixin's voice is nice, but today it seems to be even more pleasant.Probably because of the surrounding white snow and blue plateau sky, his singing is so clean and clear.
Liang Xiao looked at Ye Ruixin humming a ditty while making a snowman.Faint white air was escaping from his mouth, before it could drift away, it merged with the surrounding air again.
Liang Xiao walked over and collected the snow in the distance around Ye Ruixin.The snow accumulated all night was not too thick, only enough to build a snowman half the height.
"Should have brought the carrots from the fridge."
Ye Ruixin said after making snowman's eyes with stones picked up by the roadside.
"Why are you so unimaginative?"
"There are carrots to be beautiful!"
Ye Ruixin looked around, looking for something that could dress up a snowman as much as possible.It wasn't until the end, when he wrapped his red cashmere scarf around the snowman's neck, that the work was complete.
"Pretty or not?"
It was nearly ten o'clock when the ride was over.A building next to the open space blocked the sunlight until this point, the golden light of the sun fell completely here, making the surrounding white look a little crystal clear.
"Pretty."
Liang Xiao replied with a near-standard Cantonese pronunciation.
Melting snow is colder than falling snow.On the way home, Ye Ruixin wrapped her coat tightly in the cold.Liang Xiao looked at Ye Ruixin, he didn't like to wear clothes with high collars, but he had quite a lot of scarves of all kinds.But now the cashmere scarf that he loves to snuggle up on the sofa is tied to the snowman.It was probably cold, and he had already sneezed several times during this short journey.The red nose protruded abruptly on his fair and thin face, making him look pitiful.
Compared with Ye Ruixin's back and forth, Liang Xiao was no different.Seeing Ye Ruixin shivering from the cold, Liang Xiao took off his scarf and handed it to him, saying:
"Don't wipe your nose."
Ye Ruixin immediately took it and put it on, and made a gesture to wipe his nose with Liang Xiao's scarf.
But soon, he was no longer so energetic.After returning home and immediately taking a hot bath, Ye Ruixin hid under the quilt.Curled up in bed and shivering.
Liang Xiao reached out and touched his forehead, it was hot.
"Why are you in such poor health?" Liang Xiao said with disgust.
"Dr. Liang, I'm not feeling well."
Ye Ruixin in the bed looked at Liang Xiao and said in a buzzing nasal voice.
The heat in the house was on full blast.But the snow scene outside the window seemed to be able to transmit the chill visually, and then rushed into Ye Ruixin's body.The last quilts and woolen blankets were useless even for the hands, and the haughty man was helpless against the cold of the moment.
Liang Xiao found out the thermometer and gave it to Ye Ruixin.People who choose to be doctors probably have an idea of helping the world and saving people in their hearts.They have the courage to defy God's will, and want to use their own power to take back their fragile lives from the hands of death.
But Liang Xiao didn't have much sympathy for Ye Ruixin's chills caused by his playfulness.Looking at Ye Ruixin's appearance, Liang only thought it was funny.Because the sneeze had turned into a stuffy nose, Ye Ruixin had to hold the thermometer in his mouth and open his mouth slightly to keep breathing smoothly.
"You are so public-minded! Huai Xiao!" Ye Ruixin cursed vaguely.
Liang Xiao ignored him.When the time was almost up, Liang Xiao took the thermometer from Ye Ruixin's mouth to look at it, and said:
"For people like you who like to talk, mercury thermometers are dangerous. Although eating a small amount of mercury by mistake will not kill you, but in the first half hour, you need to keep the right side of your body properly so that the mercury can be discharged from the stomach to the duodenum as soon as possible , reduce the residence time in the stomach, and reduce the chance of being absorbed by gastric acid."
"..." Ye Ruixin tightened the quilt and asked, "How high is it?"
"100.7 degrees Fahrenheit, no need to take antipyretics." Liang Xiao wiped the thermometer with alcohol cotton, and then put it back in the box, "In theory, a cold is a self-limiting disease. Even if you don't take medicine, you just need to drink plenty of water. With careful care, it can heal on its own in about a week."
With that said, Liang Xiao turned on the kettle that he brought in together just now.Warm water was poured into the glass, and it was steaming slightly.
"Get up and drink water." Along with the sound of water, Liang Xiao said.
The soreness and chills all over her body made Ye Ruixin unwilling to leave the bed at all, but obviously there was no better choice.Ye Ruixin got up wrapped in the quilt, and gulped down a glass of water.Then quickly drilled back into bed.
"Help me press the quilt."
Ye Ruixin pouted her chin and pointed to the small gap in his shoulder.Of course he can pull the quilt by himself, it's easier that way.But the act of reaching out for yourself causes a wider gap.And those gaps are like places connecting him with Siberia, there must be no chance for the cold to invade.
"You are cold and hot, so you are afraid of the cold. The room temperature is very high now, and this gap will not aggravate your condition."
Seeing that Liang Xiao had no intention of helping, Ye Ruixin emphasized again.
"Liang Xiao, you just said that you need to take good care of me. You have to take care of me!"
"..."
Why is this person so energetic when he is sick!Liang Xiao didn't intend to waste time on this extremely boring matter, so he finally stretched out his hand to cover Ye Ruixin's quilt.
"You sleep quietly."
With that said, Liang Xiao drew the curtains for Ye Ruixin and closed the door.After cooking some porridge for Ye Ruixin with the rice cooker, Liang Xiao took a book and sat in the living room.He deliberately didn't go back to his room, in order to pay attention to possible "cries for help", in case someone said that he was an unkind doctor.
A few hours later, the sound of music came from Ye Ruixin's room, which was the ringing tone of his phone.Ye Ruixin probably fell asleep, so she didn't answer.But the phone rang again soon, and Liang Xiao got up and went to Ye Ruixin's room, knocking symbolically on the door.As expected, Ye Ruixin didn't respond.But after opening the door, Liang Xiao was stunned at the door for three seconds before stepping in.
In these three seconds, Liang Xiao came to a conclusion - Ye Ruixin's sleeping appearance is absolutely inversely proportional to his appearance!
The hero who saved him from Siberia just now has become a burden, the wool blanket has all slid on the ground, and only one corner is slumped over Ye Ruixin's waist.The person who is always delicate and elegant when he is awake is sleeping on his stomach at this moment, lying crookedly with his hands hanging on the side of the bed, as if measuring how many feet the diagonal line of the bed is.
On that cold winter afternoon, Ye Ruixin exhaled with a reddish complexion, and the way Ye Ruixin slept staggeringly on the bed left an incomparably deep impression on Liang Xiao's mind.
Ye Ruixin's sleeping, unconscious body is unrestrained at the moment, with undisguised stubbornness and vitality, shining like snow in the sun at this moment.
It was seeing the beauty of this moment that Liang Xiao didn't want to meet Ye Ruixin who couldn't sleep at night.It took him a long time to slowly accept the sharp contrast, but he was always heartbroken.
The phone rang again, Liang Xiao held the phone in front of Ye Ruixin, pushed him, and said, "Your phone has rang many times."
Ye Ruixin fell into a drowsy sleep, raised her hand hanging by the bed to take over the phone, frowned and swiped open the screen to unlock it, then closed her eyes again.
"Hello." After hearing the answer, Ye Ruixin murmured, "It's okay, I'm sleeping. I have a fever."
[It's okay, I'm sleeping.I have a little fever. ]
Just as Liang Xiao was about to leave Ye Ruixin's room, he saw him squinting his eyes and touching the cup beside him while listening to the phone.He finally opened his eyes, picked up the empty cup and looked at Liang Xiao, and said with his mouth:
"water."
Liang Xiao shook the thermos beside him, there was obviously still water in it.Although he was reluctant, but since Ye Ruixin was talking on the phone, Liang Xiao picked up the thermos and poured him a glass of water.
"It's okay, Brother Qiao, don't worry."
[It's okay, Brother Qiao, don't worry. ]
After taking Liang Xiao's water glass, Ye Ruixin whispered "Thank you" in Cantonese.
Liang Xiao was not used to saying thank you, this was not Ye Ruixin's usual attitude towards him.Even Ye Ruixin, who was on the phone, looked a little different from usual.But what was different, Liang Xiao couldn't tell.
"You wait..."
Ye Ruixin covered the microphone, and then said to Liang Xiao:
"Is it convenient for guests to come here?"
Liang Xiao nodded and said it doesn't matter.Seeing that Liang Xiao agreed, Ye Ruixin said to the phone:
"That's great, you know the address. Well...see you soon."
[That's fine too.You know the address.Hmm...see you later. ]
After hanging up the phone, Ye Ruixin snuggled into the bed again.Touching her forehead, Ye Ruixin looked at Liang Xiao and said:
"Did I have a fever?"
Giving the thermometer to Ye Ruixin is Liang Xiao's style of doing things.But Liang Xiao reached out and touched Ye Ruixin's forehead.Although it was slightly warmer than my own hand temperature, it was not too hot.
"Ah."
Ye Ruixin picked up the water glass and drank a few more sips, then said:
"Brother Qiao knows I'm sick, come and see me later."
Liang Xiao heard Ye Ruixin mention this person, he was a friend who came from Hong Kong with him.Ye Ruixin came to study, he came to do business.He seemed to be very busy. Liang Xiao and Ye Ruixin had known each other for so long and had never seen him.
"I'm hungry." Ye Ruixin said again.
"I cooked porridge for you, go to the kitchen to eat by yourself."
"I don't want to get out of bed." Ye Ruixin wrapped the quilt tightly again, only her head was exposed.He looked at Liang Xiao and said pitifully, "If you catch a cold again, it will happen again."
"Are you used to sending people around since you were a child?" Liang Xiao asked suddenly.
Ye Ruixin lowered her eyes and thought carefully, then laughed.He looked up at Liang Xiao, shook his head, and said, "No."
After "serving" Ye Ruixin finished drinking the porridge, Liang Xiao took the bowl to the kitchen to wash.Not long after, the doorbell rang.Liang Xiao opened the door and saw a man wearing a long black coat.
"Hi, I'm Ruixin's friend."
There was not much expression on Qiao Jiang's face, a little indifferent.But it is by no means arrogant, so it is not offensive.
"Come in. He's in the room."
With that said, Liang Xiao turned sideways to let Qiao Jiang in, and then pointed to the door on the right side of the living room.Qiao Jiang nodded and walked towards Ye Ruixin's room.After knocking lightly on the door twice, Qiao Jiang opened the door only after hearing Ye Ruixin's response in the room.
"Brother Joe."
Someone came to visit Ye Ruixin, so Liang Xiao went back to his room.About an hour later, when Ye Ruixin got up to send him out, Liang Xiao just walked out of the room to drink water.Seeing Qiao Jiang again, Liang Xiao felt a little strange.It was very warm in the room, but Qiao Jiang never took off his black coat, only the leather gloves on his hands.
Although there were only a few face-to-face times, Liang Xiao could feel that the relationship between them was very deep, but it could not be classified as intimacy.
In terms of behavior patterns, they even keep a farther distance than friends.Most of the time, Ye Ruixin was talking and Qiao Jiang was listening.And Qiao Jiang's eyes will be watching Ye Ruixin seriously from beginning to end, giving people a strong sense of trust.
At that time, Qiao Jiang was a complete stranger to Liang Xiao.Even Ye Ruixin's past is still unclear.Naturally, Liang Xiao didn't know that Qiao Jiang had already found out about his family before Ye Ruixin moved in.
So at this moment, Liang Xiao couldn't guess that the reason why Qiao Jiang didn't take off his coat was that he had a gun on him.
In the end, the memory of Qiao Jiang's appearance was not as clear as his black coat, and was almost forgotten by Liang Xiao.But on the day of searching for Ye Ruixin's news, when the appalling report came into view, Liang Xiao once again recalled Qiao Jiang's eyes very clearly.
Thinking of that look, seeing Qiao Jiang's name written next to Ye Ruixin on the news, connected in this way, Liang Xiao didn't even feel a little surprised.
The surprise of falling snow only lasts for the first few days of the year.For Ye Ruixin, the remaining days were a kind of torment.Ye Ruixin, who is used to the long summer in the Hong Kong city, is not used to such a cold winter.On the days when he could not go out, he hid in a warm room and never took a step.
In this way, Liang Xiao inevitably had a lot of things to do. Fortunately, Ye Ruixin returned to Hong Kong when it was the coldest.Soon Liang Xiu also came to the United States from China, and Liang Xiao left the apartment to go home for the New Year.
It is inevitable to report back on the current situation of studies when I get home.After a whole afternoon of communication with my father, it was the family's turn to chat at the dinner table.
Liang Xiao had mentioned to his family about the renovation of the apartment before.At that time, after asking some simple information about Ye Ruixin, the family did not have any opinions.Especially Liang Xiao's mother thinks this is very good, and the two of them live together, and they can somewhat take care of them.Let Liang Xiao have the opportunity to let his classmates come to play at home. He also said that Ye Ruixin has no family here, so Liang Xiao should take care of him.
After the meal, Liang Xiu sat in Liang Xiao's room for a while, Liang Xiu's caring smile made Liang Xiao a little uneasy.
"Brother, what do you want to say?"
"Have you got a girlfriend yet?" Liang Xiu also cut to the chase.
"No."
"Didn't see it?"
"I haven't thought about it."
Liang Xiu got up from the sofa and walked to Liang Xiao's side.Holding his brother's shoulders, he said earnestly:
"Don't miss your love because of your studies."
"..."
Such a suggestion made Liang Xiao momentarily at a loss as to how to answer.
The next semester is coming soon, Liang Xiao returns to the apartment earlier than Ye Ruixin.By the time Ye Ruixin came back, classes were about to resume.
The aftermath of Ye Ruixin's return to Hong Kong is the obvious regression of Mandarin.Whenever this time, Liang Xiao would laugh at him for not smoothing his tongue.However, this situation will always be alleviated after a week.
"Dong dong dong."
Suddenly there were several knocks on the door, "Please come in", Liang Xiao said without raising his head.
"Do you have band-aid?"
[band-aid, Band-Aid. ]
Liang Xiao heard the sound and looked, Ye Ruixin was standing in front of him wet, with only the white bath towel around his waist loosely wrapped around him.
The heartbeat accelerated at a speed that Liang Xiao could feel, and he immediately lowered his head without squinting.
"Why don't you wear clothes!" Liang Xiao said.
Ye Ruixin lowered his head to check the depth of the wound on his finger. He didn't notice Liang Xiao's blushing, and urged:
"Have you? Come on!"
Liang Xiao got up and took out the band-aid in the medicine box from the cabinet, and handed it to Ye Ruixin without looking at it.Then he returned to the desk, realizing that he never left the book in his hand.
The sound of Ye Ruixin tearing the Band-Aid rang in his ears, and the rhythm of water dripping from his newly dyed chestnut hair.Ye Ruixin's every move, even a breath, was transmitted from various senses to Liang Xiao's brain clearly.
Until Ye Ruixin wrapped up the wound, Liang Xiao's eyes still stayed on the same word.
"We are all men here, why are you surprised!"
Ye Ruixin's voice was teasing, and he said that he simply sat next to Liang Xiao's desk.The white towel was only about a dozen centimeters away from Liang Xiao.
"Dr. Liang, how can you operate on female patients after you are so afraid of being ugly?"
Liang Xiao didn't look at Ye Ruixin's direction at all, and Liang Xiao neatly turned over the unread pages of the book, accompanied by a cold sentence:
"What's the matter with you?"
"It's okay, it's okay. I'll go first! Dr. Liang."
Saying that, Ye Ruixin got up and left the desk, taking away the packaging of the Band-Aid on the table.The crisp sound of closing the door brought peace to the whole room.Liang Xiao looked at the medical terms in the book without any emotional color.Feeling the beating of his heart very clearly.
Liang Xiao is a medical student, and he can recite all the physiological causes of rapid heart rate verbatim: physical activity, food digestion, emotional anxiety, pregnancy, excitement, fear, excitement, drinking, smoking, drinking tea, etc. .
Liang Xiao could use the method of elimination to analyze every inducement, but he couldn't find the truth at this moment.
Ye Ruixin's hair left a few drops of water on the desk.Playfully flickering in the warm light of the desk lamp.
Liang Xiao still clearly remembered all the details of that night.
The marine smell of Ye Ruixin shower gel dissipated in the room after 37 minutes, "TheMarckManual" stayed on page 196 for 48 minutes.
That day was the first time that Liang Xiao couldn't concentrate on reading.
The throbbing that night was like a drop of agave accidentally dropped into the water.It dissolves into the water, if there is nothing.It has a distinct and unmistakable sense of reality.
This feeling would often appear when alone with Ye Ruixin, and it would appear quietly without warning, catching Liang Xiao by surprise.
Fortunately, as the weather gets warmer, there are more school activities.Ye Ruixin has a much larger social circle than Liang Xiao.Most of the time he is not in the apartment, but recently even if Ye Ruixin is at home, the door is always closed, and he does not come out to walk around.
Liang Xiao knew that Ye Ruixin was learning to dance, but he didn't know how he was learning.But one thing Liang Xiao can be sure of is that before Ye Ruixin has mastered it, he will not go out to meet people.
During this period of time, the less interaction with Ye Ruixin made Liang Xiao much more at ease.Liang Xiao was more afraid of being seen by Ye Ruixin as unusual than occasionally thinking about his failure.
Tap... Tap
Tap... Tap
Hearing the rhythmic tap of the pen, Liang Xiao realized that he was following the rhythm of the sound from the next room.
From Ye Ruixin's room, the melody of slow three beats and fast three beats, accompanied by his footsteps, melted into the whole spring like this.
Compared with Ye Ruixin's active and flexible schedule, Liang Xiao's life routine is fine-tuned according to the changes in the class schedule every semester, and he rarely has special arrangements.
Liang Xiao wanted to find Ye Ruixin, so he needed to make a phone call.But Ye Ruixin wanted to find Liang Xiao, he liked to appear suddenly.
One evening in early summer, Ye Ruixin was standing under the streetlight in front of the library.He stood upright, his white shirt neatly tucked into his black trousers.This kind of dress is incompatible with the atmosphere of wearing jeans on campus, as if walking out of a drama.
Romeo, the name came to Liang Xiao's mind.
Seeing Liang Xiao, "Romeo" looked at his watch and said:
"You're 3 minutes earlier than usual."
Before Liang Xiao had time to ask him why he was dressed like this, Ye Ruixin grabbed his wrist and started running.Ye Ruixin yelled "Excuseme" while leading Liang Xiao through the crowd deftly.
Light footsteps stopped in front of the heavy gate.With a creak, Ye Ruixin pushed open the door.Take Liang Xiao to run up some century-old stone staircases.
Arriving here, Liang Xiao naturally knew what Ye Ruixin's purpose was.
Ye Ruixin walked into the room, pressed the play button, and a pleasant music came randomly from the quiet room, it was "moonriver".
The mirrors on the entire wall made Ye Ruixin a pair, Liang Xiao watched him walk slowly in front of her, and stretched out his hand to invite him gracefully.
"May I?"
"I do not know."
Looking into Ye Ruixin's eyes, Liang Xiao said something slightly disappointing.
"I know, I'll teach you." Ye Ruixin didn't take his hand back.
time, place, person.No matter even a slight change occurred in any link, Liang Xiao would definitely refuse again immediately.
The orange-red sky at dusk in early summer was perfectly reflected by the mirror in the dance studio. Ye Ruixinyi in front of her eyes stretched out her hand devoutly with a charming smile, and her black eyes were brighter than the sunset glow outside the window.
Liang Xiao walked into the dance room and put his hand on Ye Ruixin's, clenched it tightly, and then turned it over gently.There was a slight difference in Ye Ruixin's eyes, the protest had already appeared in his eyes, and it was about to come out from his thin lips.
"You want to teach me, of course you want to teach me the male step." Liang Xiao paused, then continued, "Besides, you are shorter than me."
Ye Ruixin frowned, and glared at Liang Xiao with wide eyes.
"What, regret it?"
Liang Xiao knew Ye Ruixin well, and knew his temperament.He would agree though angry.Because his reasons are reasonable and reasonable, he can't find an excuse to refute.Since he can't find an excuse to refute, he won't play tricks.Sure enough, Ye Ruixin compromised.
"As a reward, you will cook Chinese food for me twice a week." Sensing Liang Xiao's smile, Ye Ruixin changed his words again, "No, three times!"
"it is good."
Moonriver, widerthanamile
I'm crossing youinstylesomeday
Oh, dreammaker, your heartbreaker
Wherever you'regoin', I'mgoin' your way
Twodrifters, off to see the world
There's such a lot of world to see
We're after the same rainbow'send, waitin''round thebend
Myhuckleberry friend, Moon River, and me
The brilliant orange-red just now gradually cools down due to the disappearance of the sun.The setting sun fades away, taking away the brilliance of the twilight, leaving behind a deeper black and white.
The summer night wind blows the white gauze curtain, dancing lazily to the music.
The smell of Ye Ruixin's body was mixed with the cool wind, winding around with the air.Liang Xiao suddenly thought of a word, perfumum.The word for perfume in English originally comes from Latin, meaning to penetrate smoke.
Looking at Ye Ruixin in the night, Liang Xiao felt that this word was extremely beautiful.
No longer with a cold metallic aroma, his breath is slightly sweet and oriental.All the actions and images seemed to have fallen into the amber, and suddenly became slow and soft, slowing down silently.
The moonlight is the only light source at the moment.With the graceful rotation, the bright moonlight danced on Ye Ruixin's face.The dissociation of light and shadow is like an extremely beautiful poem, which is vivid and delicate, with every detail in it.Liang Xiao is being invited to fall into temptation step by step.
Ye Ruixin's shining eyes, straight nose bridge, fair and thin cheeks, elegant and fragile neck.All the beauties that had been ignored by Liang Xiao swelled up this night, which made him extremely amazed.
The accelerated heartbeat came suddenly again, and this time, Liang Xiao suddenly understood the reason for his heartbeat.Although he had never felt such a feeling before, Liang Xiao knew very well what it was.
Even a second of eye contact and nearly an inch of body contact aggravated Liang Xiao's heartbeat.Accompanied by this throbbing came the desire to get closer to Ye Ruixin.
Even, you need to use reason to resist the urge to bow your head and kiss him.
Black leather shoes and white sneakers are getting better on this early summer night, but they will come to an abrupt end.
After an unknown number of times the music ended, Ye Ruixin let go of Liang Xiao's embrace.Ye Ruixin pressed the stop button on the stereo.Go to the wall and sit on the floor with your back against the mirror.Liang Xiao also sat down with him, almost shoulder to shoulder.
In the suddenly quiet room, Liang Xiao's clear brain couldn't help but feel the wonderful experience brought by the new love, and his body became stiff and tense.Even his breathing was inadvertently and carefully controlled, so quiet that he couldn't hear it.
Listening to Ye Ruixin's somewhat rapid breathing, the seductive breath was lingering in his ears along with the sound of the wind.Just as Liang Xiao was about to speak, he heard Ye Ruixin say:
"Brother Jin said he would come to see me during the summer vacation." Ye Ruixin's tone was full of anticipation.With that said, he turned his head to look at Liang Xiao, "Shall I tell you about my past?"
Ye Ruixin's past, those extremely embarrassing fates were mentioned lightly by him that night.The shock in Liang Xiao's heart hadn't had time to cushion,
Liang Xiao knew that Ye Ruixin was still studying law and was going to take the Hong Kong lawyer's license exam.Although he is talking about Hong Kong Pu now, because the language is not fluent, it has somewhat affected his fluent expression.But it's not hard to imagine him defending in a lawyer's robe and with a white wig.
That flamboyant look suits him, it must be fun.
"Are you listening to me?"
Seeing Liang Xiao's distraction, Ye Ruixin stopped his new product presentation in displeasure.
"You should let customers experience the product in person, and then let them make an evaluation." Liang Xiao said.
"Did you make a mistake! You thought I was sales! [Are you mistaken, did you think I was a salesman?]" He spoke Cantonese again angrily.
Liang Xiao can already understand some everyday words, although they are not good, but I have to admit that Ye Ruixin still speaks Cantonese nicely.
"What did you say?" Liang Xiao asked deliberately.
"I'll take the trouble to talk to you! [I'm too lazy to talk to you]" Saying that, Ye Ruixin walked out of Liang Xiao's room.
After Ye Ruixin left, Liang Xiao sat down at the desk.
The wall where the bookcase was originally placed has a movable partition, and the height and position can be adjusted at will according to the size of the book, so that Liang Xiao can store all kinds of materials, large and small.The partition has a whole front and is connected with the desk, forming a corner area next to the window.
Liang Xiao thought about Ye Ruixin's introduction just now, and turned on the switch of the floor lamp according to what he said.This light is brighter than the original night reading light, and the color temperature can also be adjusted.
Sitting on the newly purchased single sofa is more comfortable than it looks, and you can easily get the books on the shelf, which is indeed much more convenient.
A light cough.Liang Xiao looked back, Ye Ruixin was leaning against the door frame with a cup of coffee.
"You learn to express your feelings. For example, approval of my taste."
Liang Xiao looked at his face waiting for praise, and said:
"Thank you."
Hearing Liang Xiao's serious thanks, Ye Ruixin was a little surprised.There was no answer for a while, and it took a few seconds before he smiled.
"My pleasure." Ye Ruixin said leisurely.
Liang Xiao's life changed unconsciously like this.It can range from the layout of the whole house to the movement of the switch position on the wall.The aftermath of such a change quietly breeds something.Unexpected, reasonable.
Humans are very adaptable, especially to a more comfortable life.In just a few days, Liang Xiao got used to the convenience brought by this "new home".I'm also used to having more of Ye Ruixin's personal belongings at home—the scent of his cologne of various fragrances, and the half bottle of tequila in the double-door refrigerator.
[tequila, tequila. ]
In the coffee shop, the black tea that seemed to warm your hands has already turned cold.Liang Xiao still held it tightly in his hand, knowing whether it was warm or not.
The part about Ye Ruixin in time is scattered in memory.It's like an empty perfume bottle, with the last scent lingering on the remaining air in the bottle.
How many times Liang Xiao wanted to open it, but it stopped in mid-air.He was afraid that the only remembrance would gradually dissipate in the air, and he would have nowhere to look for it.
He was afraid that his heart was really empty.
Ye Ruixin's reappearance was due to a sudden crack in the bottle.
The fragrance spread out in an instant, penetrated into the tip of the nose, and even invisibly penetrated into the body from every skin.Liang Xiao was caught off guard.Memories then swept over, so strong that there was nowhere to put them.
Liang Xiao looked out the window, and there was heavy snow falling on the way they came.He even began to doubt whether he really met Ye Ruixin again.
All the details of being in the hospital just now were played back involuntarily, to remind himself that everything was not an illusion.He is still alive, he is still in this world.
The snow fell one by one, soft and brittle, but quietly accumulated.Layer upon layer, unknowingly dyed the world white.
Liang Xiao looked out the window, thinking of the first snowfall that year.
"Liang Xiao! Look at the snow!"
The sound in the ear and the shaking body broke the quiet morning, Liang Xiao was sure that his alarm clock hadn't rung.In other words, it's less than 7 o'clock in the morning.
Liang Xiao slept late last night, the lack of sleep and the feeling of being woken up obviously affected his mood.
"Early in the morning..."
But at the moment when he turned his head to look at the culprit, Liang Xiao didn't say anything further.Ye Ruixin was wrapping a blanket and sticking it in front of the glass window, staring out the window with wide-eyed eyes.The look of joy is like a child looking forward to Santa Claus, looking forward to the reindeer flying by the window.
It's hard to bear to interrupt.
"Come out with me!"
"what?"
This request made Liang Xiao's softness evaporate instantly.But Ye Ruixin didn't care about the refusal in this sentence, he picked up Liang Xiao's hanging clothes and threw them on his bed.
"Hurry up, I'll wait for you downstairs!"
When this sentence was finished, Ye Ruixin had already left the door.
Unlike Ye Ruixin, Liang Xiao never had the habit of going back to sleep.So he also had to put on his clothes and wash.Although he was reluctant, Liang Xiao decided to deal with this fussy southerner first, so as not to cause a whole day of uncleanness.
Although born in Hangzhou, Liang Xiao immigrated to the northern part of the United States with his parents when he was about to enter junior high school.So for Liang Xiao, snow is the most common thing every winter.
Ye Ruixin has been excited about the snow since last night, he said he has never seen falling snow.Hope it can last night, the bigger the better.
Liang Xiao looked at the few inches of snow on the ground outside the window, as he wished.Liang Xiao put on a thick coat and added a scarf before leaving.
It's not even seven o'clock yet, and the surroundings are quiet and silent.Most of the people have not gotten up yet, except for the main road, the eyes are all white.
Liang Xiao walked down the stairs, the fresh snow on the stairs was only Ye Ruixin's footsteps.The crunching sound reaches the ears with every step.With the cold air, it is refreshing.
This freshness is the most attractive part of Chuxue.
Perhaps hearing Liang Xiao's footsteps, Ye Ruixin, who was walking on the snow alone in the open space, walked over quickly.Before Liang Xiao could tell him to be careful of the slippery snow, he watched Ye Ruixin slip and fall in front of him.The fall was not light, and he sat on the snow, looking clumsy and funny.
Liang Xiao laughed without the slightest sympathy, and he could even imagine Ye Ruixin's reaction in a while.With his extremely high image requirements for himself, how could wrestling be allowed.Probably even if there is no one within a hundred miles, he can't accept this fact.
He must be furious!
To Liang Xiao's surprise, Ye Ruixin laughed out loud himself.He simply sat in the snow, carefully grabbed a handful of snow with his hands, and kneaded it into snowballs without fear of freezing.
Ye Ruixin exerted a little force, and the round and clear snowball burst on his reddish fingertips, and scattered under the clear blue sky, like fireworks.
"Liang Xiao, build a snowman with me!"
In Liang Xiao's memory, his name was always called by Ye Ruixin's first and last name like this.His tone is always a little different from others.It is a kind of intimacy that is so familiar that you can "call and drink".It was as if Liang Xiao couldn't refuse any of his requests after saying these two words.
Now recall carefully.Liang Xiao suddenly found that he had accepted almost all his "invitations".There may be bickering and negotiation in the process, but in the end it is all about compromise.
Ye Ruixin wanted his first snowman to last longer.The two of them walked a little further, looking for the best place to build a snowman in the neighborhood on a winter morning.
At the corner of the last street, there is a not-so-small lawn with a white ash planted there.Few people will walk on this lawn.
"Today is sunny, and the snow will melt at noon."
Ye Ruixin should be in a good mood that day, Liang Xiao's boring answer did not provoke him to scold him, instead he turned to look at Liang Xiao and said:
"When you say that, I think of a lyrics."
After speaking, Ye Ruixin began to hum softly.
"You are a thousand piles of snow, and I am Changjie. I am afraid that when the sun rises, we will disintegrate each other. Who has the right not to understand when the butterflies cannot fly to the end of the world."
Ye Ruixin's voice is nice, but today it seems to be even more pleasant.Probably because of the surrounding white snow and blue plateau sky, his singing is so clean and clear.
Liang Xiao looked at Ye Ruixin humming a ditty while making a snowman.Faint white air was escaping from his mouth, before it could drift away, it merged with the surrounding air again.
Liang Xiao walked over and collected the snow in the distance around Ye Ruixin.The snow accumulated all night was not too thick, only enough to build a snowman half the height.
"Should have brought the carrots from the fridge."
Ye Ruixin said after making snowman's eyes with stones picked up by the roadside.
"Why are you so unimaginative?"
"There are carrots to be beautiful!"
Ye Ruixin looked around, looking for something that could dress up a snowman as much as possible.It wasn't until the end, when he wrapped his red cashmere scarf around the snowman's neck, that the work was complete.
"Pretty or not?"
It was nearly ten o'clock when the ride was over.A building next to the open space blocked the sunlight until this point, the golden light of the sun fell completely here, making the surrounding white look a little crystal clear.
"Pretty."
Liang Xiao replied with a near-standard Cantonese pronunciation.
Melting snow is colder than falling snow.On the way home, Ye Ruixin wrapped her coat tightly in the cold.Liang Xiao looked at Ye Ruixin, he didn't like to wear clothes with high collars, but he had quite a lot of scarves of all kinds.But now the cashmere scarf that he loves to snuggle up on the sofa is tied to the snowman.It was probably cold, and he had already sneezed several times during this short journey.The red nose protruded abruptly on his fair and thin face, making him look pitiful.
Compared with Ye Ruixin's back and forth, Liang Xiao was no different.Seeing Ye Ruixin shivering from the cold, Liang Xiao took off his scarf and handed it to him, saying:
"Don't wipe your nose."
Ye Ruixin immediately took it and put it on, and made a gesture to wipe his nose with Liang Xiao's scarf.
But soon, he was no longer so energetic.After returning home and immediately taking a hot bath, Ye Ruixin hid under the quilt.Curled up in bed and shivering.
Liang Xiao reached out and touched his forehead, it was hot.
"Why are you in such poor health?" Liang Xiao said with disgust.
"Dr. Liang, I'm not feeling well."
Ye Ruixin in the bed looked at Liang Xiao and said in a buzzing nasal voice.
The heat in the house was on full blast.But the snow scene outside the window seemed to be able to transmit the chill visually, and then rushed into Ye Ruixin's body.The last quilts and woolen blankets were useless even for the hands, and the haughty man was helpless against the cold of the moment.
Liang Xiao found out the thermometer and gave it to Ye Ruixin.People who choose to be doctors probably have an idea of helping the world and saving people in their hearts.They have the courage to defy God's will, and want to use their own power to take back their fragile lives from the hands of death.
But Liang Xiao didn't have much sympathy for Ye Ruixin's chills caused by his playfulness.Looking at Ye Ruixin's appearance, Liang only thought it was funny.Because the sneeze had turned into a stuffy nose, Ye Ruixin had to hold the thermometer in his mouth and open his mouth slightly to keep breathing smoothly.
"You are so public-minded! Huai Xiao!" Ye Ruixin cursed vaguely.
Liang Xiao ignored him.When the time was almost up, Liang Xiao took the thermometer from Ye Ruixin's mouth to look at it, and said:
"For people like you who like to talk, mercury thermometers are dangerous. Although eating a small amount of mercury by mistake will not kill you, but in the first half hour, you need to keep the right side of your body properly so that the mercury can be discharged from the stomach to the duodenum as soon as possible , reduce the residence time in the stomach, and reduce the chance of being absorbed by gastric acid."
"..." Ye Ruixin tightened the quilt and asked, "How high is it?"
"100.7 degrees Fahrenheit, no need to take antipyretics." Liang Xiao wiped the thermometer with alcohol cotton, and then put it back in the box, "In theory, a cold is a self-limiting disease. Even if you don't take medicine, you just need to drink plenty of water. With careful care, it can heal on its own in about a week."
With that said, Liang Xiao turned on the kettle that he brought in together just now.Warm water was poured into the glass, and it was steaming slightly.
"Get up and drink water." Along with the sound of water, Liang Xiao said.
The soreness and chills all over her body made Ye Ruixin unwilling to leave the bed at all, but obviously there was no better choice.Ye Ruixin got up wrapped in the quilt, and gulped down a glass of water.Then quickly drilled back into bed.
"Help me press the quilt."
Ye Ruixin pouted her chin and pointed to the small gap in his shoulder.Of course he can pull the quilt by himself, it's easier that way.But the act of reaching out for yourself causes a wider gap.And those gaps are like places connecting him with Siberia, there must be no chance for the cold to invade.
"You are cold and hot, so you are afraid of the cold. The room temperature is very high now, and this gap will not aggravate your condition."
Seeing that Liang Xiao had no intention of helping, Ye Ruixin emphasized again.
"Liang Xiao, you just said that you need to take good care of me. You have to take care of me!"
"..."
Why is this person so energetic when he is sick!Liang Xiao didn't intend to waste time on this extremely boring matter, so he finally stretched out his hand to cover Ye Ruixin's quilt.
"You sleep quietly."
With that said, Liang Xiao drew the curtains for Ye Ruixin and closed the door.After cooking some porridge for Ye Ruixin with the rice cooker, Liang Xiao took a book and sat in the living room.He deliberately didn't go back to his room, in order to pay attention to possible "cries for help", in case someone said that he was an unkind doctor.
A few hours later, the sound of music came from Ye Ruixin's room, which was the ringing tone of his phone.Ye Ruixin probably fell asleep, so she didn't answer.But the phone rang again soon, and Liang Xiao got up and went to Ye Ruixin's room, knocking symbolically on the door.As expected, Ye Ruixin didn't respond.But after opening the door, Liang Xiao was stunned at the door for three seconds before stepping in.
In these three seconds, Liang Xiao came to a conclusion - Ye Ruixin's sleeping appearance is absolutely inversely proportional to his appearance!
The hero who saved him from Siberia just now has become a burden, the wool blanket has all slid on the ground, and only one corner is slumped over Ye Ruixin's waist.The person who is always delicate and elegant when he is awake is sleeping on his stomach at this moment, lying crookedly with his hands hanging on the side of the bed, as if measuring how many feet the diagonal line of the bed is.
On that cold winter afternoon, Ye Ruixin exhaled with a reddish complexion, and the way Ye Ruixin slept staggeringly on the bed left an incomparably deep impression on Liang Xiao's mind.
Ye Ruixin's sleeping, unconscious body is unrestrained at the moment, with undisguised stubbornness and vitality, shining like snow in the sun at this moment.
It was seeing the beauty of this moment that Liang Xiao didn't want to meet Ye Ruixin who couldn't sleep at night.It took him a long time to slowly accept the sharp contrast, but he was always heartbroken.
The phone rang again, Liang Xiao held the phone in front of Ye Ruixin, pushed him, and said, "Your phone has rang many times."
Ye Ruixin fell into a drowsy sleep, raised her hand hanging by the bed to take over the phone, frowned and swiped open the screen to unlock it, then closed her eyes again.
"Hello." After hearing the answer, Ye Ruixin murmured, "It's okay, I'm sleeping. I have a fever."
[It's okay, I'm sleeping.I have a little fever. ]
Just as Liang Xiao was about to leave Ye Ruixin's room, he saw him squinting his eyes and touching the cup beside him while listening to the phone.He finally opened his eyes, picked up the empty cup and looked at Liang Xiao, and said with his mouth:
"water."
Liang Xiao shook the thermos beside him, there was obviously still water in it.Although he was reluctant, but since Ye Ruixin was talking on the phone, Liang Xiao picked up the thermos and poured him a glass of water.
"It's okay, Brother Qiao, don't worry."
[It's okay, Brother Qiao, don't worry. ]
After taking Liang Xiao's water glass, Ye Ruixin whispered "Thank you" in Cantonese.
Liang Xiao was not used to saying thank you, this was not Ye Ruixin's usual attitude towards him.Even Ye Ruixin, who was on the phone, looked a little different from usual.But what was different, Liang Xiao couldn't tell.
"You wait..."
Ye Ruixin covered the microphone, and then said to Liang Xiao:
"Is it convenient for guests to come here?"
Liang Xiao nodded and said it doesn't matter.Seeing that Liang Xiao agreed, Ye Ruixin said to the phone:
"That's great, you know the address. Well...see you soon."
[That's fine too.You know the address.Hmm...see you later. ]
After hanging up the phone, Ye Ruixin snuggled into the bed again.Touching her forehead, Ye Ruixin looked at Liang Xiao and said:
"Did I have a fever?"
Giving the thermometer to Ye Ruixin is Liang Xiao's style of doing things.But Liang Xiao reached out and touched Ye Ruixin's forehead.Although it was slightly warmer than my own hand temperature, it was not too hot.
"Ah."
Ye Ruixin picked up the water glass and drank a few more sips, then said:
"Brother Qiao knows I'm sick, come and see me later."
Liang Xiao heard Ye Ruixin mention this person, he was a friend who came from Hong Kong with him.Ye Ruixin came to study, he came to do business.He seemed to be very busy. Liang Xiao and Ye Ruixin had known each other for so long and had never seen him.
"I'm hungry." Ye Ruixin said again.
"I cooked porridge for you, go to the kitchen to eat by yourself."
"I don't want to get out of bed." Ye Ruixin wrapped the quilt tightly again, only her head was exposed.He looked at Liang Xiao and said pitifully, "If you catch a cold again, it will happen again."
"Are you used to sending people around since you were a child?" Liang Xiao asked suddenly.
Ye Ruixin lowered her eyes and thought carefully, then laughed.He looked up at Liang Xiao, shook his head, and said, "No."
After "serving" Ye Ruixin finished drinking the porridge, Liang Xiao took the bowl to the kitchen to wash.Not long after, the doorbell rang.Liang Xiao opened the door and saw a man wearing a long black coat.
"Hi, I'm Ruixin's friend."
There was not much expression on Qiao Jiang's face, a little indifferent.But it is by no means arrogant, so it is not offensive.
"Come in. He's in the room."
With that said, Liang Xiao turned sideways to let Qiao Jiang in, and then pointed to the door on the right side of the living room.Qiao Jiang nodded and walked towards Ye Ruixin's room.After knocking lightly on the door twice, Qiao Jiang opened the door only after hearing Ye Ruixin's response in the room.
"Brother Joe."
Someone came to visit Ye Ruixin, so Liang Xiao went back to his room.About an hour later, when Ye Ruixin got up to send him out, Liang Xiao just walked out of the room to drink water.Seeing Qiao Jiang again, Liang Xiao felt a little strange.It was very warm in the room, but Qiao Jiang never took off his black coat, only the leather gloves on his hands.
Although there were only a few face-to-face times, Liang Xiao could feel that the relationship between them was very deep, but it could not be classified as intimacy.
In terms of behavior patterns, they even keep a farther distance than friends.Most of the time, Ye Ruixin was talking and Qiao Jiang was listening.And Qiao Jiang's eyes will be watching Ye Ruixin seriously from beginning to end, giving people a strong sense of trust.
At that time, Qiao Jiang was a complete stranger to Liang Xiao.Even Ye Ruixin's past is still unclear.Naturally, Liang Xiao didn't know that Qiao Jiang had already found out about his family before Ye Ruixin moved in.
So at this moment, Liang Xiao couldn't guess that the reason why Qiao Jiang didn't take off his coat was that he had a gun on him.
In the end, the memory of Qiao Jiang's appearance was not as clear as his black coat, and was almost forgotten by Liang Xiao.But on the day of searching for Ye Ruixin's news, when the appalling report came into view, Liang Xiao once again recalled Qiao Jiang's eyes very clearly.
Thinking of that look, seeing Qiao Jiang's name written next to Ye Ruixin on the news, connected in this way, Liang Xiao didn't even feel a little surprised.
The surprise of falling snow only lasts for the first few days of the year.For Ye Ruixin, the remaining days were a kind of torment.Ye Ruixin, who is used to the long summer in the Hong Kong city, is not used to such a cold winter.On the days when he could not go out, he hid in a warm room and never took a step.
In this way, Liang Xiao inevitably had a lot of things to do. Fortunately, Ye Ruixin returned to Hong Kong when it was the coldest.Soon Liang Xiu also came to the United States from China, and Liang Xiao left the apartment to go home for the New Year.
It is inevitable to report back on the current situation of studies when I get home.After a whole afternoon of communication with my father, it was the family's turn to chat at the dinner table.
Liang Xiao had mentioned to his family about the renovation of the apartment before.At that time, after asking some simple information about Ye Ruixin, the family did not have any opinions.Especially Liang Xiao's mother thinks this is very good, and the two of them live together, and they can somewhat take care of them.Let Liang Xiao have the opportunity to let his classmates come to play at home. He also said that Ye Ruixin has no family here, so Liang Xiao should take care of him.
After the meal, Liang Xiu sat in Liang Xiao's room for a while, Liang Xiu's caring smile made Liang Xiao a little uneasy.
"Brother, what do you want to say?"
"Have you got a girlfriend yet?" Liang Xiu also cut to the chase.
"No."
"Didn't see it?"
"I haven't thought about it."
Liang Xiu got up from the sofa and walked to Liang Xiao's side.Holding his brother's shoulders, he said earnestly:
"Don't miss your love because of your studies."
"..."
Such a suggestion made Liang Xiao momentarily at a loss as to how to answer.
The next semester is coming soon, Liang Xiao returns to the apartment earlier than Ye Ruixin.By the time Ye Ruixin came back, classes were about to resume.
The aftermath of Ye Ruixin's return to Hong Kong is the obvious regression of Mandarin.Whenever this time, Liang Xiao would laugh at him for not smoothing his tongue.However, this situation will always be alleviated after a week.
"Dong dong dong."
Suddenly there were several knocks on the door, "Please come in", Liang Xiao said without raising his head.
"Do you have band-aid?"
[band-aid, Band-Aid. ]
Liang Xiao heard the sound and looked, Ye Ruixin was standing in front of him wet, with only the white bath towel around his waist loosely wrapped around him.
The heartbeat accelerated at a speed that Liang Xiao could feel, and he immediately lowered his head without squinting.
"Why don't you wear clothes!" Liang Xiao said.
Ye Ruixin lowered his head to check the depth of the wound on his finger. He didn't notice Liang Xiao's blushing, and urged:
"Have you? Come on!"
Liang Xiao got up and took out the band-aid in the medicine box from the cabinet, and handed it to Ye Ruixin without looking at it.Then he returned to the desk, realizing that he never left the book in his hand.
The sound of Ye Ruixin tearing the Band-Aid rang in his ears, and the rhythm of water dripping from his newly dyed chestnut hair.Ye Ruixin's every move, even a breath, was transmitted from various senses to Liang Xiao's brain clearly.
Until Ye Ruixin wrapped up the wound, Liang Xiao's eyes still stayed on the same word.
"We are all men here, why are you surprised!"
Ye Ruixin's voice was teasing, and he said that he simply sat next to Liang Xiao's desk.The white towel was only about a dozen centimeters away from Liang Xiao.
"Dr. Liang, how can you operate on female patients after you are so afraid of being ugly?"
Liang Xiao didn't look at Ye Ruixin's direction at all, and Liang Xiao neatly turned over the unread pages of the book, accompanied by a cold sentence:
"What's the matter with you?"
"It's okay, it's okay. I'll go first! Dr. Liang."
Saying that, Ye Ruixin got up and left the desk, taking away the packaging of the Band-Aid on the table.The crisp sound of closing the door brought peace to the whole room.Liang Xiao looked at the medical terms in the book without any emotional color.Feeling the beating of his heart very clearly.
Liang Xiao is a medical student, and he can recite all the physiological causes of rapid heart rate verbatim: physical activity, food digestion, emotional anxiety, pregnancy, excitement, fear, excitement, drinking, smoking, drinking tea, etc. .
Liang Xiao could use the method of elimination to analyze every inducement, but he couldn't find the truth at this moment.
Ye Ruixin's hair left a few drops of water on the desk.Playfully flickering in the warm light of the desk lamp.
Liang Xiao still clearly remembered all the details of that night.
The marine smell of Ye Ruixin shower gel dissipated in the room after 37 minutes, "TheMarckManual" stayed on page 196 for 48 minutes.
That day was the first time that Liang Xiao couldn't concentrate on reading.
The throbbing that night was like a drop of agave accidentally dropped into the water.It dissolves into the water, if there is nothing.It has a distinct and unmistakable sense of reality.
This feeling would often appear when alone with Ye Ruixin, and it would appear quietly without warning, catching Liang Xiao by surprise.
Fortunately, as the weather gets warmer, there are more school activities.Ye Ruixin has a much larger social circle than Liang Xiao.Most of the time he is not in the apartment, but recently even if Ye Ruixin is at home, the door is always closed, and he does not come out to walk around.
Liang Xiao knew that Ye Ruixin was learning to dance, but he didn't know how he was learning.But one thing Liang Xiao can be sure of is that before Ye Ruixin has mastered it, he will not go out to meet people.
During this period of time, the less interaction with Ye Ruixin made Liang Xiao much more at ease.Liang Xiao was more afraid of being seen by Ye Ruixin as unusual than occasionally thinking about his failure.
Tap... Tap
Tap... Tap
Hearing the rhythmic tap of the pen, Liang Xiao realized that he was following the rhythm of the sound from the next room.
From Ye Ruixin's room, the melody of slow three beats and fast three beats, accompanied by his footsteps, melted into the whole spring like this.
Compared with Ye Ruixin's active and flexible schedule, Liang Xiao's life routine is fine-tuned according to the changes in the class schedule every semester, and he rarely has special arrangements.
Liang Xiao wanted to find Ye Ruixin, so he needed to make a phone call.But Ye Ruixin wanted to find Liang Xiao, he liked to appear suddenly.
One evening in early summer, Ye Ruixin was standing under the streetlight in front of the library.He stood upright, his white shirt neatly tucked into his black trousers.This kind of dress is incompatible with the atmosphere of wearing jeans on campus, as if walking out of a drama.
Romeo, the name came to Liang Xiao's mind.
Seeing Liang Xiao, "Romeo" looked at his watch and said:
"You're 3 minutes earlier than usual."
Before Liang Xiao had time to ask him why he was dressed like this, Ye Ruixin grabbed his wrist and started running.Ye Ruixin yelled "Excuseme" while leading Liang Xiao through the crowd deftly.
Light footsteps stopped in front of the heavy gate.With a creak, Ye Ruixin pushed open the door.Take Liang Xiao to run up some century-old stone staircases.
Arriving here, Liang Xiao naturally knew what Ye Ruixin's purpose was.
Ye Ruixin walked into the room, pressed the play button, and a pleasant music came randomly from the quiet room, it was "moonriver".
The mirrors on the entire wall made Ye Ruixin a pair, Liang Xiao watched him walk slowly in front of her, and stretched out his hand to invite him gracefully.
"May I?"
"I do not know."
Looking into Ye Ruixin's eyes, Liang Xiao said something slightly disappointing.
"I know, I'll teach you." Ye Ruixin didn't take his hand back.
time, place, person.No matter even a slight change occurred in any link, Liang Xiao would definitely refuse again immediately.
The orange-red sky at dusk in early summer was perfectly reflected by the mirror in the dance studio. Ye Ruixinyi in front of her eyes stretched out her hand devoutly with a charming smile, and her black eyes were brighter than the sunset glow outside the window.
Liang Xiao walked into the dance room and put his hand on Ye Ruixin's, clenched it tightly, and then turned it over gently.There was a slight difference in Ye Ruixin's eyes, the protest had already appeared in his eyes, and it was about to come out from his thin lips.
"You want to teach me, of course you want to teach me the male step." Liang Xiao paused, then continued, "Besides, you are shorter than me."
Ye Ruixin frowned, and glared at Liang Xiao with wide eyes.
"What, regret it?"
Liang Xiao knew Ye Ruixin well, and knew his temperament.He would agree though angry.Because his reasons are reasonable and reasonable, he can't find an excuse to refute.Since he can't find an excuse to refute, he won't play tricks.Sure enough, Ye Ruixin compromised.
"As a reward, you will cook Chinese food for me twice a week." Sensing Liang Xiao's smile, Ye Ruixin changed his words again, "No, three times!"
"it is good."
Moonriver, widerthanamile
I'm crossing youinstylesomeday
Oh, dreammaker, your heartbreaker
Wherever you'regoin', I'mgoin' your way
Twodrifters, off to see the world
There's such a lot of world to see
We're after the same rainbow'send, waitin''round thebend
Myhuckleberry friend, Moon River, and me
The brilliant orange-red just now gradually cools down due to the disappearance of the sun.The setting sun fades away, taking away the brilliance of the twilight, leaving behind a deeper black and white.
The summer night wind blows the white gauze curtain, dancing lazily to the music.
The smell of Ye Ruixin's body was mixed with the cool wind, winding around with the air.Liang Xiao suddenly thought of a word, perfumum.The word for perfume in English originally comes from Latin, meaning to penetrate smoke.
Looking at Ye Ruixin in the night, Liang Xiao felt that this word was extremely beautiful.
No longer with a cold metallic aroma, his breath is slightly sweet and oriental.All the actions and images seemed to have fallen into the amber, and suddenly became slow and soft, slowing down silently.
The moonlight is the only light source at the moment.With the graceful rotation, the bright moonlight danced on Ye Ruixin's face.The dissociation of light and shadow is like an extremely beautiful poem, which is vivid and delicate, with every detail in it.Liang Xiao is being invited to fall into temptation step by step.
Ye Ruixin's shining eyes, straight nose bridge, fair and thin cheeks, elegant and fragile neck.All the beauties that had been ignored by Liang Xiao swelled up this night, which made him extremely amazed.
The accelerated heartbeat came suddenly again, and this time, Liang Xiao suddenly understood the reason for his heartbeat.Although he had never felt such a feeling before, Liang Xiao knew very well what it was.
Even a second of eye contact and nearly an inch of body contact aggravated Liang Xiao's heartbeat.Accompanied by this throbbing came the desire to get closer to Ye Ruixin.
Even, you need to use reason to resist the urge to bow your head and kiss him.
Black leather shoes and white sneakers are getting better on this early summer night, but they will come to an abrupt end.
