Fragrance of peaches and plums

"Why are you peeking at me?" He suppressed his heartbeat, spoke in a playful tone, and brought the food in front of Wen Xi.

The two stood facing each other. There was a small step between the kitchen and the living room. He stood on a high place, which was the same height as Wen Xi.

Tall, handsome, and talented, why should such a person be a teacher?Wouldn't it be nice to be a star?He secretly complained like this, and couldn't help laughing: "Here, go and set the table."

Wen Xi remained silent, and took the plate to set the table.The two dishes and one soup were all finished in no time, and Xia Zhengyu was already familiar with the whole kitchen, taking rice bowls, chopsticks, unplugging the rice cooker, getting the rice spoon... A series of things were done with ease, like the owner of this house .

The two of them sat at the table without talking for a moment, they just ate quietly.

Xia Zhengyu was distracted, and after eating for a while, he lost his temper and became uneasy.But Wen Ximing knew that he wanted to talk, so he still looked indifferent, and didn't take his chef seriously.He had no choice but to go straight.

"Why did you peek at me just now?" This time the words were no longer playful, but rather serious.

Wen Xi looked up at him: "The dishes you cook are so delicious, I can't sleep."

Xia Zhengyu: "..."

Wen Xi smiled, and gave him a piece of shredded meat, his eyes were very sincere: "Don't talk while eating, it's not good for digestion."

Xia Zhengyu's throat was inexplicably dry, he obediently lowered his head to eat, and did not speak anymore.

After a meal, Wen Xi consciously took over the job of cleaning up the dishes.Xia Zhengyu was very interested, standing at the place where Wen Xi had watched him earlier, humming a tune to watch him wash the dishes, a little happy and warm.

Wen Xi ignored him. After washing the dishes, he came out after drying his hands, and asked him, "Will you go home next?"

There is no need for evening self-study on Saturday night. In the past, he either spent the afternoon with Zhou Shen and the others, or stayed at home with his grandma.Now he has started to make up lessons. Although he told his grandma that he would not go home for dinner, he still has to go home.

He nodded.

Wen Xi said: "Then you go out with me. When my friend comes over later, I can ask him to see you off."

He hesitated for a moment and asked, "Is your friend Zhong Man?"

"Yeah, do you remember his name?" Wen Xi said, the phone rang.He picked up and talked a few words with the other side, listening to the content, it was Zhong Man's call.After a while, he hung up the phone and said to Xia Zhengyu, "I'm going to change clothes, he has arrived at the school gate."

"Oh..." Xia Zhengyu responded, with a bit of desire to explore—especially when he thought of the neat things in the kitchen and refrigerator, Zhong Man was one of the main suspects who did all of this.

He waited in the living room for a while, and Wen Xi came out of the room.White T-shirt, black trousers, sneakers.Simple and relaxed, compared to the usual abstinent appearance in class, this one is really handsome and refreshing.He stared at him, no matter how he looked at it, he thought it looked good.

"Let's go." Wen Xi even put on a baseball cap for himself.

Xia Zhengyu carried the book and went downstairs with him.On the way, I met two teachers, and they all praised Wen Xi.On the way to the school gate, those who knew them or not all paid attention to them.This is Wen Xi's charm, Xia Zhengyu is inexplicably proud.

"Teacher, where are you going? I rarely see you dressed like this."

Wen Xi replied vaguely: "Spend the weekend."

Xia Zhengyu was choked all of a sudden, and stared at him blankly.

Wen Xi and him looked at each other, wanting to laugh.As soon as that aggrieved and puzzled look came out, he knew that the child was thinking wildly again.He's been a little addicted to Xia Zhengyu's appearance recently, and he can't help teasing him when nothing happens.

Xia Zhengyu didn't know what he thought of, so he didn't ask any more questions, and stayed silent all the way outside the school.Seeing Zhong Man, still indifferent and full of hostility, he said hello and Ren Wenxi arranged him in the back seat.

"Help me take Xia Zhengyu home. It's on Zhichun Street, near the Yishui River." Wen Xi confessed to Zhong Man. Zhong Man glanced at Xia Zhengyu from the rearview mirror, and the two suddenly looked at each other. Xia Zhengyu quickly look away.

Zhong Man said with a smile: "This direction was quite a detour in the past, and I will be late again later."

Wen Xi: "No, you just need to find a suitable path."

"Leave all the problems to me, you are a real uncle! It hurts people's heart." Zhong Man complained with aggrieved look, the car drove forward for a while, turned around, and drove towards the street where Xia Zhengyu's house was located.

The two in front chatted one after another. Xia Zhengyu stopped looking at them when Zhong Man caught his eye just now, and leaned back on the chair to turn on his phone and play games.With the background sound turned on and automatic turned on, the ears are still listening to the previous conversation.

He didn't know whether it was his preconceived guesses, or the two people were really ambiguous, but he always felt that Zhong Man's attitude towards Wen Xi was a bit subtle.He spoke intimate words easily, but there was a feeling of deliberate construction.Wen Xi answered the words in a lukewarm manner, as if he was touching a certain line, trying his best to maintain a relaxed and intimate atmosphere.

This is significantly different from ordinary friends.

Xia Zhengyu scratched his heart and liver, and finally got out of the car full of reluctance.

Naturally, he didn't know that when he got out of the car, the car fell into silence.Zhong Man no longer said those deliberately intimate and lively words, and Wen Xi didn't say a word, only the sound of music remained in the car.

After a while, Zhong Man turned off the music, sighed, and said: "If you really don't want to see Bai Sulei so much, you don't have to. I will send her off by myself. I know, whoever meets This kind of thing cannot be forgiven.”

"I don't want to go." Wen Xi replied lightly.

Zhong Man glanced at him in the mirror: "But you don't want to go, do you?"

"Yeah." Wen Xi said calmly, "However, since I promised to be friends, I will try my best to fulfill this role. Isn't that what you said, you have to act like a friend."

Zhong Man paused, pursed his lips, and said embarrassingly, "Xiaoxi, did you...Actually, you didn't forgive me?"

While talking, when the car reached the intersection, he stopped and waited for the green light, and the car felt quieter.

With that confessional tone, he coaxed Wen Xi in a low voice: "Recently, I've been thinking that I should confess something to you. At that time, I always felt very uncomfortable when I saw you and Bai Sulei together. So , In fact, I approached her on purpose to give her a chance, and I lured her to betray you. If you want to hate, you should also add me..."

"The light is green." Wen Xi interrupted him.

Zhong Man stopped and started the car.

After crossing the road, Wen Xi took the initiative to speak: "I know what you said."

Zhong Man smiled wryly: "I'm also thinking, maybe you know it. You have been very smart since you were a child, and you can see people accurately. Compared with you, I just pretend to be smart." He turned his face to look at Wen Xi, sighed, "But if you don't mention it, it's not easy for me to confess. It's not that I don't dare to confess, but I don't know what my psychology is in luring her. After all, that's not the case with you!"

Hearing this, Wen Xi suddenly smiled, shook his head slightly, and said: "Maybe, because you know what I did to you! A person who liked you at first is suddenly with someone else, you It's gotta be uncomfortable, isn't it? The logic makes sense."

Zhong Man opened his mouth, speechless.

Because he couldn't deny that Wen Xi understood him, and these words were almost inseparable from his psychological speculation during that time.Saying ten thousand and one thousand is nothing more than looking down on the person who likes you and empathizing with him.

Wen Xi and him can be regarded as children. They both attended the same school from elementary school to high school, and once lived in the same compound.Since childhood, Wen Xi was different from other boys. He was too good-looking, and he was delicate and feminine when he was a child, so he was ridiculed and teased for this.

And he, for a long time, was the only one who was willing to play with Wen Xi.

Around the time of high school, he began to faintly feel that Wenxi had a different feeling for him.But Wen Xi is a very cautious person, and he is also very patient. In the past few years, he has not expressed excessively.Later, when they went to university, the two were no longer in the same city. Slowly, this matter seemed to be let go of in each other's hearts.

After graduation, he came back here, and Wenxi became a teacher at his previous school, and had a beautiful girlfriend.They reunited and went out to play together. He saw Wen Xi's smile was gentle for his girlfriend, and his eyes were all chasing after his girlfriend. His dependence on him in the past was gone... His jealousy was like this like never before. Erupted.

He seduces the girl, and he succeeds.

However, when Wen Xi decisively let go of the girls and fulfilled them, he felt no pleasure at all.Yes, just blaming myself—what kind of stupid thing is this?After a lot of effort, the final result was nothing more than hurting Wen Xi and Bai Sulei.

Thinking about this stupid thing, he became bitter: "Xiaoxi, did you agree to be Sulei Bai's friend because you knew that I took the initiative first? Are you still reluctant to part with her? Sigh, why don't you get back together, anyway, I It's over with her."

After hearing this, Wen Xi laughed twice as if he had heard some joke.Then Youyou turned her head, with sarcasm in her eyes: "Is Bai Sulei a commodity on a supermarket shelf?"

"I'm sorry, that's not what I meant." Zhong Man hurriedly explained, "When she wakes up, she still feels that she loves you. If you still have her in your heart, why don't you reconcile with her?"

Wen Xi: "Where does it seem that I have her in my heart?"

Zhong Man: "You are still friends with her."

"Aren't I still friends with you?" Wen Xi looked at him meaningfully.

Zhong Man: "..."

Looking at each other, Zhong Man raised his hand to express his surrender, and said repeatedly, "Understood, your realm is different from mine."

Everyone treats the past in a different way. He thinks that the old relationship can be wiped clean only when old age and death do not communicate with each other.But in Wen Xi's case, it is called formatting when they regain their independence from each other, have a clean heart, and can rebuild any relationship.Like, he did to him.

When it is not released, I dare not meet easily.

Once the root is cut off, it will be frank and magnanimous.

Now, Wen Xi, who is willing to go to the hospital to pick up Bai Sulei and leave the hospital, and is willing to have a farewell meal, has no possibility of turning back.It was always him and Bai Sulei who struggled and thought too much.

"I really envy you. You have such good control over your feelings, and you can take them in and out with ease." He said with emotion.

Hearing this, Wen Xi was noncommittal.His perception of himself is not as cool as Zhong Man guessed.The so-called "freedom of retraction" may simply be due to lack of love.

How can one control true love?
