Heal the King

Tao Han was drowsy all night and didn't fall asleep.

It was almost dawn when Tao Han fell asleep.It's just that he slept until almost noon.He looked at his phone in a blink of an eye, and it was full of missed calls.

Tao Han froze for three seconds before bouncing off the bed.

He quickly unlocked the phone and saw that the calls were from two hours ago. He went to the window and opened the curtains, and a call popped up on the phone.

It was Xu Yiqing.

"Hello?" Tao Han quickly picked it up, "Good morning."

"...It's noon." Xu Yiqing said with a smile in his voice, "Are you up yet?"

"Hmm..." Tao Han turned and looked out the window, "I'm sorry, I overslept, it's already this time, ah...huh?"

Tao Han's family lived on the third floor. Looking down, he could see Xu Yiqing sitting on the flower bed next to the street lamp. He raised his head slightly, but he didn't see him.

"Huh?" Xu Yiqing said.

"How long have you been sitting there?" Tao Han said.

"Oh...you saw me?" Xu Yiqing raised his head, "Not long ago."

"..." Tao Han sighed.

"Come on down, go out and get something to eat."

"...Come up here." Tao Han said, "I'll cook something."

Tao Han's house was clean with one room and one living room. He quickly folded the quilt while waiting for Xu Yiqing to go upstairs, poured water for him after opening the door, and ran to the bathroom to wash up.

He carefully straightened himself in the mirror, exhaled in the mirror, checked every inch of his face, and walked out of the bathroom with confidence.

Xu Yiqing was slowly drinking the black tea made for him, and looked up at Tao Han.

Tao Han hurriedly stroked his hair: "...what's wrong?"

"It's okay." Xu Yiqing smiled and lowered his head and took a sip of tea.

"Ah... I don't seem to have anything to eat at home, can I cook noodles? Or... sandwiches?"

"Sandwich." Xu Yiqing said.

"Then I... fry an egg, is lunch meat okay?"

"it is good."

Tao Han went to the kitchen and opened the refrigerator, took out a few eggs and a can of luncheon meat.The luncheon meat was placed on the table, and he prepared to open it with his bare hands.

After pulling it half a circle, it got stuck, and the pull ring was about to break if he pulled it again, Tao Han immediately started to use it. When he lowered his eyes and wanted to pull it, a hand behind him stopped him.

"Tsk." Xu Yiqing almost completely encircled him in his arms. Tao Han felt that he was usually quite tall, but when he met Xu Yiqing, why was he surrounded by him all of a sudden, making him look like a small bird.

"You don't want your hands anymore?" Xu Yiqing said.

Tao Han froze in place, feeling the warm body temperature and aroma of the other party. Then, he pulled the ring with his fingers hooked, opened the shell, and put it on the chopping board from the back.

"Okay, your hands will hurt, don't open like that."

"Hmm..." Tao Han responded, seeing that the other party didn't intend to stand up straight, and moved slightly, his neck was reddened, "That..."

"Oh..." Xu Yiqing took a step back.

Tao Han had some space, turned around and looked at Xu Yiqing: "Mr. Xu, I think about what you said..."

Before he finished speaking, Xu Yiqing suddenly leaned forward with his whole body, separated his hands to support the countertops on both sides, and once again wrapped Tao Han in his arms, but this time Tao Han was facing him.

The opponent's oppressive force hit him, making him forget to move, and just looked at the opponent's eyes that were close at hand.

too close.

It felt like the other party's breath swept across his face like a feather, hot and short.

"I..." Tao Han opened his mouth, Xu Yiqing bowed his head slightly, and kissed her.

Tao Han always felt that Xu Yiqing kissed him before he woke up.When he came back to his senses, the other party kissed earnestly and a little bit shyly, he touched it lightly and retracted it, tossing and rubbing softly, Tao Han opened his eyes and saw the other party's eyelashes, and then closed them in fright squinted.

Xu Yiqing let go of him, pinched his chin again, and kissed his eyelashes: "Nervous?"

"A little bit." Tao Han said in a low voice.

"...I think I should know your answer." Xu Yiqing said, "I'm sorry for making my own decisions...I can't wait to know your answer."

Tao Han leaned back and curled his fingers slightly against his index finger: "Wait a minute, Mr. Xu, I want...I want to confirm something with you."

Xu Yiqing lowered her head and said softly, "Say it."

"I meant what I said last night, but I don't want you to sympathize with me... so you do these things. You may not know yourself, you are not... you are not crooked! You like girls , you can't just accept me with a headache..."

"No..." Xu Yiqing said, "I'm 30 years old, why would I still be so impulsive?"

"There are many such people!" Tao Han said.

"I really like you... I liked you at the first sight." Xu Yiqing said, "I saw you standing among a group of children, you were so gentle and cute. At that time, I felt heartbroken and strange. I have never been in a relationship since I was 30 years old. I've never felt this way before, it's amazing, but I'm afraid I'll scare you..."

Tao Han looked at him, slowly put his arms around his neck: "Really?"

"Well... why should I lie to you?" Xu Yiqing said, "What good does it do me to lie to you?"

Tao Han thought about it, and nodded: "Okay."

"Then..." Xu Yiqing picked his chin to tease him, "Can I call Mr. Xu instead of Mr. Xu, now I have changed my identity, right?"

"What for..." Tao Han asked knowingly.

"What do you like to be called?" Xu Yiqing smiled.

"I don't know." Tao Han turned his face away.

"I'm older than you, why don't you call me brother just like Chen Jue called Yu Zilian." Xu Yiqing teased him.

Tao Han turned around in embarrassment, and continued to process his sandwich.Xu Yiqing didn't want to play hooligans too much on the first day, so she backed up to the refrigerator and asked him, "Can you help me?"

"Need not……"

Xu Yiqing retreated to the door and looked at him.

Tao Han's back was bowed down, and a piece of fair skin was torn out from the back of his neck. Xu Yiqing looked at it for a while, and the sunlight came through the window, covering his hair with a layer of maroon.

I always feel that this feeling is familiar.

But this person is really his own.

After Tao Han finished making the sandwich, cut it and placed it on a plate, he brought it to Xu Yiqing.

Xu Yiqing couldn't wait to take a bite: "It's delicious..."

"Great, there is more." Tao Han poured him a glass of water, "Drink, brother."

Xu Yiqing paused with his hands: "What did you call me?"

"...Didn't you tell me to shout that?" Tao Han said.

Xu Yiqing looked at him, stretched out his hand suddenly, and took his hand in his hand. He looked at him with burning eyes, and said with a smile: "I find that I seem to like you more than I think."

……

"Goodbye."

"Goodbye."

Tao Han stood among the parents to say hello, lowered his head and touched each child's head, and told them one by one: "Don't patronize and play during the holidays, what else are you going to do?"

"Help mom with the housework!" said the little girl.

"Yes." Tao Han approved, "Okay, let's go back."

After seeing off the little girl, Tao Han looked back, Yu Zilian dragged Chen Jue and ran all the way, bumping into Tao Han's leg.

"Yu Zilian." Tao Han said, "I told you not to run in the garden, why don't you run alone now, and run away with your brother!"

"Teacher Tao!" Yu Zilian and Chen Jue each held Tao Han and one leg, and the average score was not to fight.

"What are you doing..." Tao Han said helplessly.

"My brother's aunt is not free this week, and my uncle promised to take me to the aquarium this week. Let's take my brother to go together!" Yu Zilian said.

"Okay." Tao Han had this intention in the first place, so he agreed, "But you have to promise me, this time you won't be allowed..." Tao Han said halfway, squatting down, and looked at Yu Zilian seriously, "No on the street. Call me aunt!"

"...Uncle let me call you." Yu Zilian curled his lips aggrievedly.

"If he asks you to call, you can call him. How can you listen to him like that!" Tao Han scratched his waist with his hand.

"My aunt will make breakfast for me! She will take me out to play with my uncle!" Yu Zilian was tickled and laughed wildly, "...It's my aunt! It's my aunt!"

Tao Han had nothing to do with him: "All right... You can call outside, but not in the garden."

"I know, ah, uncle!" Yu Zilian waved his hand.

Tao Han stood up in a blink of an eye and saw Xu Yiqing standing at the gate of the garden.

He and Tao Han looked at each other, there was a layer of soft light in the setting sun, and floating dust could be seen rising from the place like a soft light filter.The two children ran over to hug Xu Yiqing's leg, Xu Yiqing raised his arms to pick up Chen Jue, and watched Tao Han walk over.

"Can I get off work?" Xu Yiqing asked.

"Yeah." Tao Han turned and locked the door, "Let's go."

Yu Zilian was held by Tao Han, Xu Yiqing held little Chen Jue with one hand, and Tao Han's hand with the other.

Wearing a windbreaker in autumn, Xu Yiqing grabbed his hands and stuffed them into his pockets.

Yu Zilian saw it with sharp eyes, took Tao Han's hand and said with a smile: "Teacher is holding me! Uncle is holding teacher!!"

Tao Han didn't refute him, but just smiled, feeling his hand was clenched tighter in Xu Yiqing's.
