Absinthe

Although Yang Yingqiong said that she respected Zhong Xiu's opinion, she still had a stalemate with Zhong Xiu for a week.She finally compromised because of Father Zhong's words: "You can't let him stay by your side for the rest of your life."

Zhong's father is usually too busy with work, so he rarely has time to ask about Zhong Xiu's life.But as long as he said something, there was basically no room for refutation. Although Yang Yingqiong was strong, she listened to her husband very much, so she could only agree.

Zhong Xiu moved into the student dormitory on Sunday night.

The accommodation conditions in No. [-] Middle School are not bad, but due to the small area, the dormitories are all four-person rooms, which is still different from the deluxe double rooms of the previous school. Bathroom with cubicle.

The dormitory for the second year of high school was on the second and third floors, and he happened to be assigned to the second floor, and the surrounding dormitories were all in the same class.He didn't remember any of the three roommates. After a brief contact, he found that they were all nice.Hao Ai's dormitory is next door to Zhong Xiu, and he is roommates with Lu Fayan and Lin Rui.

After school this Monday afternoon, he heard Hao Ai say to Lu Fayan, "Help me take my homework back to the dormitory tonight, I will go back to live tonight."

"Okay." Lu Fayan's voice was cheerful.

During this period of time, Zhong Xiu has become a little familiar with Hao Ai and Lu Fayan, but when eating together, he still doesn't talk very much, and most of the time, the other two are doing cross talk and singing next to him.

On the way back to the dormitory together at night, he couldn't hold back his curiosity and asked Lu Fayan, "Did Hao Ai go to work part-time?"

"I don't know." Lu Fayan said casually, chewing gum in his mouth.

Are you so indifferent to your friends?

"Probably not, Ai Ai is not so short of money," he added, "He didn't take the initiative to say so, and I didn't ask too much."

The lights in the dormitory are turned off at ten o'clock in the evening, and most of the people are still awake at this time.After Zhong Xiu finished his homework, he put down his pen and saw that his roommates were still scribbling. He was not in a hurry to take a shower and go to bed, so he went to the balcony to enjoy the air.Although the view on the second floor is not good, there is no way to look into the distance, but you can clearly see the scene downstairs on this floor.

I saw a familiar figure downstairs.

It's already autumn, but Hao Ai is still wearing short-sleeved shorts, with porcelain white arms and calves exposed, as if he doesn't feel cold at all.

He seemed to be holding something in his arms, and was looking up at the moon.So Zhong Xiu also looked up, the moon is incomplete today, and they are looking at the same moon at the moment.

Zhong Xiu carefully identified it and found that he was holding a cat in his arms.He recognized the cat, named Baibai, a stray cat that often appeared in the dormitory area at night, and sometimes lay on the steps of the restaurant door to bask in the sun during the day.

There are often students who feed it with ham sausage and other food, but it always holds its head up and ignores it. It only eats food next to it, and it will eat when people leave. It is vigilant and arrogant. a cat.

Hao Ai put the cat down at last, smoothed its fur, and watched the cat scurry into the bushes, before he entered the cave.

Within a few minutes, Zhong Xiu heard the sound of the door opening of the dormitory next door. It should be Hao Ai who came back.Zhong Xiu waited for a while, calculated that the time was almost up, and then went out to take a bath with the toiletries.

As soon as he took two steps, the door of the dormitory next door opened. He looked back and saw Hao Ai without any surprise.

Seeing that it was him, Hao Ai quickly chased after him and said pleasantly, "What a coincidence."

"En." Zhong Xiu nodded coldly.

The two went to the bathroom together, but there was no one in it.Zhong Xiu chose the innermost bathroom, and Hao Ai followed him step by step.

Seeing that he was still following him closely, Zhong Xiu felt a little puzzled.

Hao Ai held the door of the cubicle with one hand, and said in a somewhat begging tone: "I will wash next to you. I have long hair and I wash slowly. Don't leave before you finish washing. Wait for me for a while."

"Okay." Zhong Xiu almost didn't laugh.

After taking a shower, Zhong Xiu felt that it was too stuffy inside, so he stood in the aisle outside the shower room and waited for him.

It didn't take long for Hao Ai to come out. Seeing Zhong Xiu, he breathed a sigh of relief, and whispered, "I was scared to death, I thought you were gone." He had just finished taking a shower, and his body was covered with shower gel and shampoo aroma.

"Dry your hair?" Zhong Xiu asked.

His hair was already half dry, but Hao Ai's hair was still dripping with water.

The electricity in the dormitory is limited, and high-power electrical appliances cannot be used. There are public hair dryers at the end of the corridor on each floor.Boys have shorter hair and usually don't need to use a hair dryer, but Hao Ai is an exception.

Hao Ai glanced at the dark corridor and said, "I don't want to blow it anymore, let it dry slowly."

"When will we have to wait?"

"fine."

"why are you not going?"

Zhong Xiu asked this question, but in fact he already had the answer in his heart.

Hao Ai looked at the corridor again. There was a voice-activated light installed in the corridor, but the response was not very sensitive. It flickered on and off, and the electronic screen of the hair dryer at the end was glowing with a faint red light, which looked a bit gloomy.

He swallowed his saliva, and said in a fierce tone, "I just don't want to go, so there are so many reasons."

Hao Ai's pajamas are long and wide, with a bear pattern printed on them, exuding softness all over his body, and it doesn't look deterrent at all.

He was really afraid of the dark.

Zhong Xiu understood for a while, folded his arms and smiled, but didn't expose him.

Hao Ai was terrified by his smile, it was the first time he saw Zhong Xiu laughing like this.

"What are you laughing at?"

Zhong Xiu said, "I'll accompany you, let's go."

"Okay." Hao Ai agreed with a half-push.

He picked up the hair dryer, ran his hands through his hair, and blew through it, looking violent.

Zhong Xiu said helplessly, "Can you blow your hair?"

"I won't, you will, you can do it if you have hands." Hao Ai turned back, rolling his eyes in his heart.

Zhong Xiu said, "If I come, I will come."

He snatched Hao Ai's hair dryer and started drying his hair.

Hao Ai's hair was wet and soft to the touch.He picked up Hao Ai's top hair, and blow-dried the hair next to his scalp first, until the top hair was dry, and then began to blow-dry the tail.

His movements were very light, once and for all, as if he was stroking some small animal.
