An Accident in Broad Daylight

Just entering winter, the air in the north was so dry that Xu Tangcheng even had a nosebleed when he washed his face one morning.This is an old problem. Basically, when this season comes, his nose can't be touched.He took two pieces of paper to block his nose, and walked out with his head raised.

"What's the matter with you?" Seeing his unusual posture in the fuzz of wearing shoes, he wanted to come over with concern, but accidentally tripped over the network cable on the ground, and there was a sound of jingling.

"Be careful." Xu Tangcheng said repeatedly.

Cheng Xu is highly myopic, but refuses to wear glasses for a long time on the grounds that the eyes will deform, and insists on never wearing glasses unless necessary.Xu Tangcheng also admired him a lot, he was able to overcome eight times a day when he tripped over various things.

"It's okay, the air is too dry."

Cheng Xu said that he was going to do research in a company, so he picked up his schoolbag and headed out early.Before he left, Xu Tangcheng threw him a piece of bread for him to eat on the way.

Today, a senior asked him to help guide an undergraduate student's smart team. He said that the junior had made appointments several times, but he was too busy these days and had no time, so he had to ask him for help.He changed his clothes and was about to go there when he received a call from his junior.The junior said that they had a dinner together last night, and they might have spoiled their stomachs. Now they are collectively receiving IV in the hospital, and asked his guidance if they can do it another day.

Xu Tangcheng naturally agreed, asked a few more questions with concern, and ended the call after confirming that they were all right.

The itinerary was temporarily canceled. Xu Tangcheng had been working on a paper for a week before, and now he didn't want to go to the laboratory at all.He cleaned the dormitory while listening to the song, and carefully re-fixed the dropped network cable.Afterwards, there was really nothing to do, so after some consideration in his mind, he simply bought a ticket to go home.

Because he thought he would stay in school for two days, he lent the car to someone else on Friday.

Seeing him come back, Zhou Hui was very surprised: "Didn't you say you won't come back? Have you eaten yet?"

"Eat. There was something to do, but then it was all right, so I came back."

Zhou Hui came up and took the things in his hand: "What did you buy?"

"humidifier."

Zhou Hui frowned when she heard that, Xu Tangcheng hurriedly said before her: "I know I have one at home, I'll put another one in your house, it's been too dry recently."

Zhou Hui glared at him, scolding him for spending money indiscriminately.

Xu Tangcheng smiled, changed his slippers, looked at the empty room, and asked strangely, "Where are my dad and Tang Qi?"

"I sent them to your grandma's house. I just finished cleaning. There is too much dust in the house this season. When the heating is turned on, let alone them, I feel uncomfortable." Zhou Hui took Xu Tang Chenggang Taking off the coat, he pinched a sleeve in disgust, "Oh, look, your cuffs are dirty."

"How come?" Xu Tangcheng poured himself a glass of water, "I just washed it, and I've only worn it for two days."

"Then you definitely didn't rub the cuffs last time you washed your clothes. The cuffs and collars must be washed with soap. You can't clean them by throwing them in the washing machine. I'll wash them for you later."

Xu Tangcheng drank a large glass of water to quench his thirst.Hearing the sound of the washing machine spinning, he put his hands on Zhou Hui's shoulders helplessly, took away the coat she disliked, and pushed her to the sofa: "Come on, I'll wash it myself when I go back, you can rest for a while." Right. I’m leaving tomorrow, you can’t do it even after you wash it now.”

"You can't wash it clean. I'll wash it for you and set up the heater to dry it all night. You're so busy at school, why don't you wash it yourself..."

The two argued for a long time, but Xu Tangcheng still couldn't persuade Zhou Hui, so he could only watch her pick up her coat, take out the things in her pocket, put them on the coffee table, and went into the toilet.

"Oh, by the way, last time your uncle told you to go there when you came back. Isn't Yikan a third year in high school? He said he wanted to participate in self-enrollment. I remember you helped your school's self-enrollment, right? You go Tell him about it." Zhou Huitan was born with foam on his hands, "Why don't you go over now, it just so happens that No. [-] Middle School is on holiday today, and Yi Kan is at home."

"Later," Xu Tangcheng finished the humidifier and yawned, "I'll sleep first, I'm sleepy."

Xu Tangcheng didn't belong to the kind of people with high energy. He was used to taking a nap, even if it was only for a quarter of an hour, he must.After sleeping for a while, he was awakened by the sound of the door closing.This is the case for light sleepers. Even though there is a door across the room, a little sound seems to be infinitely amplified in his ears.

"Brother? Why are you back?" Xu Tangqi looked at the person in pajamas in surprise, and after he realized it, he quickly stuffed a bag in his hand into the shoe cabinet.

"You don't want me to come back," Xu Tangcheng pretended not to see her attempt to cover up, and asked very normally, "Why did you come back by yourself? Where's Dad?"

"Still at grandma's house." Xu Tangqi whispered.She knelt down to change her slippers, her short hair hanging down, covering half of her face.When she stood up again, her face was already blushing.

Xu Tangcheng stood still in front of her, stared at her face for a few seconds, and suddenly reached out to open the cabinet door.Xu Tangqi quickly pressed the door of the cupboard and yelled anxiously, "Hey, hey, you can't look at it!"

Seeing her closely guarded appearance, Xu Tangcheng laughed.In fact, you can figure out what she bought by counting the days, just a little bit of teasing.He complied with the little girl's wishes, kept a sense of mystery for her, and stopped paying attention to that paper bag.

After laughing, Xu Tangcheng suddenly found that Xu Tangqi was wearing a pink down jacket that he had never seen before.

"Bought new clothes?" He gently tugged Xu Tangqi's body to make her turn around, "It's pretty pretty."

The down jacket is a slightly longer style than the short one, in the shape of an A, with a fluffy circle at the bottom, and a small pink pompom on the tip of the hat, which is very cute.

Xu Tangqi glanced at him, and hemmed and hemmed.

Zhou Hui came out at this time and saw the clothes on Xu Tangqi's body, and immediately asked, "Didn't you go to grandma's house? Did you go shopping?"

Xu Tangqi looked at Zhou Hui, hesitant to speak.

Zhou Hui was also very satisfied with this dress, she never minded the hassle of cleaning, and liked to buy light-colored clothes for Xu Tangqi, making her dress like a little princess.

"Just right, it suddenly became cold after noon today. I also said that you didn't wear enough clothes. I wanted to send you some clothes, but I thought you didn't go out of the house, and it was not cold to take a taxi when you came back, so I didn't go. Go shopping If it is, you should buy a piece, and it will be troublesome if you catch a cold.”

Xu Tangqi responded with a "hmm", took off the down jacket and hung it on the hanger, and took off the little white padded jacket inside.She glanced at Xu Tangcheng, and instead of going back to the room, she walked slowly to the living room and sat down.Xu Tangcheng looked at the pink down jacket in front of him, and at Xu Tangqi's expression of pretending to glance over here from time to time, sure that there was something strange in it.

Before he could think about it, he suddenly felt that the hanger was a little empty.Taking a look at Xu Tangqi's down jacket and padded jacket, he found that the coat he had hung here had disappeared.Looking again, sure enough, not only the coat, but also the few clothes he wore back were hung on the radiator.

Xu Tangcheng couldn't laugh or cry.

"Mom, why did you wash it for me? What should I wear to go out?"

"Just find another suit," Zhou Hui shouted from the kitchen, "I'll wash it for you, so you can save some trouble when you go back."

Xu Tangcheng had no choice but to silently hugged Zhou Hui who had just come out with a fruit plate, squeezed an apple and put it in his mouth, and went into the room to pick out another suit of clothes.

He doesn't have many clothes of his own, and puts all the clothes he wears in school, but he didn't bring any of them back this time.He tossed about in the closet for a long time before he found a suit of clothes that he thought were okay.

Taking a look in the mirror, Xu Tangcheng laughed himself.He doesn't remember when he bought this white college-style sweater, anyway, he hasn't worn it much.Then put on a light khaki half-length horn button coat and light-colored jeans, no matter how you look at it, you may be suspected of being tender.If he wore this outfit in his freshman year, it would be more or less the same.

After talking to Zhou Hui, Xu Tangcheng took a bag of garbage and went out.

As soon as he arrived at the entrance of the building, he felt a gust of cold wind. Xu Tangcheng shivered and quickly put on his hat.

Strange to say, when he threw the rubbish into the trash can, the black cat that ignored people for thousands of years actually came to his feet.Xu Tangcheng knelt down to look at it, but the black cat just shrank its neck and didn't back down.I thought it was hungry and came to eat, but Xu Tangcheng looked at it and found that it was not thin at all, but a little fatter.

"It's pretty good."

Just after muttering this sentence, Xu Tangcheng heard the sound of bicycle brakes.He looked up and saw Yi Zhe, whom he hadn't seen for a long time.

He was only wearing a thin sportswear.

"Isn't it cold to wear so little?"

Xu Tangcheng stood up and approached him with a smile.

When he saw him, Yi Zhe quickly pulled off the earphones stuffed in his ears.

"not cold."

"Young and strong is not such a strong way." Xu Tangcheng looked at his red hands and ears from the cold. "I had cold ears when I was a child. It was very uncomfortable, and it will be easy to freeze in winter. If you ride a bike, you should buy it." A pair of gloves, and the head should be wrapped as well."

Yi Zhe listened and nodded.

The two of them didn't talk anymore, and the black cat let out a "meow" at this moment.Yi Zhe got out of the car and climbed up the ladder.

"Bought food for it?"

The plastic bags in the supermarket are translucent and faint, and Xu Tangcheng can identify the ham sausage inside.

"Well, it's quite picky. I bought it cat food before and it didn't eat it. It just ate this kind of ham sausage." Yi Zhe opened the bag in his hand while talking, but maybe it was too much when he pulled the earphones just now. After hastily exerting force, the headphone cable has become entangled with the plastic bag at some point.Yi Zhe curled his red fingers to choose, but he was clumsy, as if he didn't know the point, and couldn't grasp the law of their intertwining.

"I come."

Xu Tangcheng stretched out his hand and took two things away from him.

With only a few light picks, the separation work is over.

Yi Zhe took the bag from him, knelt down to feed the cat without saying a word.

"Do you want to go out?"

"Well, go to my uncle's house."

The black cat sang happily after eating, Yi Zhe didn't know what else to say to Xu Tangcheng who was standing beside him, so he pretended to watch the little black thing eat absent-mindedly.

A hand was stretched out in front of him—the index finger and thumb pinched the white headphone cable wrapped in a circle in a regular manner, and the remaining three fingers held it empty.

Yi Zhe looked at Xu Tangcheng along the hand.He was still wearing his hat, squatting beside him, looking at him too.Only then did Yi Zhe belatedly understand why he felt that Xu Tangcheng was particularly good-looking today.

He is dressed very differently today, very small.Moreover, the hood of this coat was so big that it covered half of his forehead, just showing his eyebrows.In this case, the edge of the hat seems to draw a key line for the eyes.When Xu Tangcheng laughed, his eyes were crooked.

"Do you feed him every day?"

Xu Tangcheng spoke suddenly, interrupting Yi Zhe's observation of his eyes.

"Almost," Yi Zhe lowered his head, hiding his thoughts, "As long as I come back, I'll feed you."

Xu Tangcheng said, "No wonder, she looks so good."

Although Yi Zhe had been expecting the black cat to eat for a while, the black cat obviously didn't understand his expectation. As usual, the two sausages were quickly wiped out by him, and it was still lying on its back before running away. His head meowed at Yi Zhe, as if he was making a reservation for tomorrow's meal.

After it finished eating, Xu Tangcheng also said to leave.Yi Zhe silently rolled up the plastic bag in his hand and threw it into a nearby trash can.

Xu Tang had already walked a certain distance with his pockets in his pocket, when he suddenly remembered the matter of self-enrollment.

"Yizhe." He called out.

When he turned around, he realized that Yi Zhe hadn't moved at all, but was standing there upright, looking at him.

He didn't know if it was because of the night or the cold wind, but Yi Zhe's look in his eyes made him remember for many years, so that every time he thought of it later, he wanted to see the boy smile eagerly.

There is no expectation, or even a sign of waiting, just a quiet, quiet loneliness.

He suddenly thought of the black cat who had been looking at him eagerly just now.

"Did you have meal?"

Maybe people and cats will really look alike after getting along for a long time.

What Xu Tangcheng said changed the subject, because he suddenly couldn't bear to leave Yi Zhe, who was looking at him like this, in the gradually sinking night.

A few steps away, Yi Zhe blinked, as if he didn't expect him to ask him this suddenly.

"Didn't you eat? Let's go, I'll treat you to dinner."

Xu Tangcheng saw a little light in Yi Zhe's eyes, but he still hesitated.

"Aren't you going to your uncle's house?"

"Anyway, I didn't tell them that I was going. We just happened to have something to eat, and I'll go there."

At that time, smart phones had just started to rise, and they could not find ideas for meals from the app, but could only think of delicious restaurants in their memory.Xu Tangcheng was afraid that Yi Zhe would be embarrassed, so he reported a few good places and let Yi Zhe pick them.He wanted to treat him to a good meal, but he didn't expect Yi Zhe to say, "I want to eat noodles."

"noodle?"

"There's a noodle shop nearby, Master Wang," Yi Zhe raised his hand and pointed in a direction, "It's on the street you turn at the second intersection ahead."

Xu Tangcheng recalled a little, and remembered the noodle shop he used to go to in high school.

"Ah, that one, I haven't been there for a long time, is it still open?"

Yi Zhe nodded and looked at him seriously.

"Okay," Xu Tangcheng suggested, considering that the distance to the restaurant is not too short, "I didn't drive back, let's take a taxi."

Yi Zhe had already gone to push his bicycle. He came to Xu Tangcheng and hesitated for a while: "It's not too far away, how about I take you?"

Xu Tangcheng's train of thought was off topic, because he was surprised to find that the corners of Yi Zhe's mouth were raised.Not noticeably, but it's really going up.At that moment, the first thought that appeared in Xu Tangcheng's mind was that it was so easy to make him happy.

"Okay," he didn't say a little coldly, and agreed with him indulgently.But when he saw his car, Xu Tangcheng smiled and shook his head: "You don't have a back seat."

This time Yi Zhe quickly said, "There are carriage beams."

Xu Tangcheng looked forward, dumbfounded.The car beams are obviously inclined.

He raised his head, wanting to explain objectively to Yi Zhe that such a beam would not be able to sit on it.But after meeting the boy's hopeful eyes, he unexpectedly smiled and said, "Okay".
