Chapter 7

In the early hours of the morning, a 24-hour pharmacy on the side of the road welcomed two male customers. The man walking in front was tall and thin, while the man behind was taller than him by half a head, and his build was much stronger. He stood silently behind him. .The former walked up to her and asked, "Hi, do you have povidone iodine for sale?"

The man looked at her with a gentle voice, and there was a touch of anxiety in his handsome eyebrows. The female clerk was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly replied: "Ah! Yes!" She walked out of the counter to help customers get medicine.

"Hello, five yuan." The female clerk came back with the medicine, and said to the man who had just talked, the man nodded, took out a banknote from his trousers pocket and handed it to her, took the medicine again, and said to her He said "thank you" and left.

The other person standing behind him who hadn't spoken a word followed immediately. She saw that the two seemed to be communicating with each other, and the backs of them leaving side by side were very harmonious, which was unforgettable.

The rusty door lock made a hoarse sound in the quiet night, Ji Xiuran turned on the light in the entrance, turned sideways to let Lu Jingyao in behind him, closed the door, and made him sit on the sofa.

The door lock was gently closed, leaving only silence in the room.

The living room was in a mess before it had time to tidy up, Ji Xiuran didn't care about it, he went to the bathroom to wash a hot towel, then opened the iodophor and sat down on the other side of the sofa, and picked up a cotton ball with the tweezers that came with him come out.

If Ji Xiuran didn't say it, Lu Jingyao himself would not have noticed that he was injured. Although he bled a little, it was not serious. It was just a small cut made by the blade of the fruit knife. It was hard to find the injury on the inner side of the arm. .

A warm towel was covered, and the blood around the wound was gently wiped away. Ji Xiuran's movements were so gentle that he completely ignored the pain of the wound.Under the glaring incandescent light, Lu Jingyao looked down at Ji Xiuran's fair side face, his heart churned like a wave.

The povidone iodine ball was pressed on the wound, and the irritating pain made Lu Jingyao wake up like a dream. He watched Ji Xiuran clean up the wound, straightened his back and breathed a sigh of relief.

The wound was indeed not serious, Ji Xiuran was finally able to let go of his heart, he slowly screwed on the iodophor cap, feeling happy and scared at the same time.The happy thing is that when he was in danger, Lu Jingyao didn't leave and came up to help him. The last thing I was afraid of was that if the thief was more powerful, the injury caused by the fruit knife would be more than that.

No matter what, he didn't want others to take risks for him. Thinking about it, Ji Xiuran raised his eyes to look at him, and said seriously: "Thank you Mr. Lu today, but if the same situation happens in the future, I don't want..."

He paused in the middle of the sentence, Ji Xiuran's eyes widened in surprise, his upper body was embraced by Lu Jingyao, the tip of his nose was pressed against his broad and thick shoulders, and then he said in a deep voice: "If this situation still exists, do you think I might Will it be ignored?"

"But……"

"No but." Lu Jingyao took the opportunity to greedily inhale the smell of Ji Xiuran, and reluctantly let go of his embrace for a while. In an instant, many words flashed through his mind, but he couldn't say a word. After a long time, he asked in a hoarse voice: "Xiu Ran, even if we haven't seen each other for ten years, we are still good friends, right?"

Ji Xiuran stared at him blankly.

"But you always talk to Mr. Lu, making me feel like we are strangers."

"That's work..." Ji Xiuran defended.

"Okay, I don't care about it at work." Lu Jingyao paused, and continued: "Then promise me, you can call me by my name in private, just like before."

"I don't want to be so unfamiliar with you."

Ji Xiuran was speechless, he looked into Lu Jingyao's eyes, his heart felt like a bottle of five flavors was overturned, and the bitter taste first filled every corner.When we met again in ten years, he didn't dare to expect anything more, but Lu Jingyao's behavior made him feel that he really couldn't control his greed, and the more he wanted, the more he wanted...

But he couldn't say no to it, because this was indeed the strongest desire in his heart.Ji Xiuran was silent for a long time, and nodded slowly in response.

Whether it's a special relationship or a friend, as long as Lu Jingyao doesn't reject his approach, that's enough for him.

As time passed, Ji Xiuran broke the embarrassment and asked, "Mr. Lu, you just said you wanted to ask me a question, what is it?"

Lu Jingyao frowned: "What did you call me?"

Ji Xiuran was stunned, and whispered for a while, "Jing...Jing Yao."

Hearing this long-lost address, Lu Jingyao's frowning brows stretched out, and a smile appeared on his usually quiet face. He leaned back on the sofa, turned his head, and pretended to say casually: "If I remember correctly, the The house is older than both of us."

"Yeah, I've been living here since I can remember." Ji Xiuran raised the corners of his lips slightly, recalling many good memories in his mind.

Lu Jingyao stared into his eyes, greedily catching the smile in his eyes, and asked, "What about your parents? Are you not at home?"

As soon as he finished speaking, he watched as the smile faded from Ji Xiuran's eyes, and the latter seemed to be stunned, staring blankly ahead.Startled by him, Lu Jingyao sat up straight and asked anxiously, "What's wrong? Are you feeling unwell?"

The shoulder was grabbed, and the hot temperature of Lu Jingyao's palm spread to his heart through the thin shirt. Ji Xiuran shook his head as if waking up from a dream, and answered in a hoarse voice for a moment: "They...are not at home."

Lu Jingyao was frightened by his state, got up and wanted to pour him a glass of water, his gaze inadvertently glanced at a document bag under the coffee table, on which was clearly the name of a nursing home in this city, and the name column below——

Ji Xiuran noticed the change in his face, followed his gaze, smiled wryly, and explained, "It's my parents' names."

The atmosphere dropped to freezing point in an instant, Lu Jingyao opened his mouth but did not make a sound, he stared at the two names in disbelief, and wanted to see some clues from Ji Xiuran's face, hoping that the truth was not what he thought, but after a while For an extremely long period of time, Ji Xiuran didn't say anything.Lu Jingyao pressed his temple lightly with his hand, and asked hoarsely, "What's going on?"

Ji Xiuran pursed his lips, and it took a long time before he began to speak.

Only then did Lu Jingyao know that Ji Xiuran had so many things happening at home after he transferred to another school.An old house full of memories, an empty home, no one to accompany, no one to talk to, even when you go to a nursing home, you can only hear the cold sound of the instrument.Lu Jingyao couldn't imagine how Ji Xiuran survived these ten years.

Sour water poured into his heart, and when Lu Jingyao came to his senses, he had already opened his arms and embraced Ji Xiuran. He closed his eyes and wanted to say "Don't be afraid, I will be here in the future", but he didn't dare to say it, so he could only say : "It's okay, it will be fine."

"I understand." Ji Xiuran's nose touched Lu Jingyao's shoulder again, knowing that it was just a comforting hug between friends, but he didn't want to push him away so quickly.

After a long time, Lu Jingyao let go of his arms, straightened the messy bangs of the person in front of him, and said seriously: "Xiu Ran, it's not safe for you to live here. Have you ever thought about moving?" Don't worry, he happened to be there this time, so what about next time?

Ji Xiuran nodded, this is the place where he lived since he was a child, the memory is too heavy.At the beginning, he didn't want to move, but he couldn't bear the repeated visits of thieves at home, and it was useless to change the locks. This time, he ran into him face to face.

Besides, it's too far away from the nursing home, so it's inconvenient to go there. It takes four hours to go back and forth, and I often go there after get off work and come back in the middle of the night.Ji Xiuran considered moving to a place with better conditions, closer to the nursing home, but he didn't find a good house for now, and he didn't have time to think about it after changing jobs.

Lu Jingyao saw his doubts, and took the initiative to say: "I know a few friends, and they all have good houses in their hands. I'll let them show you someday, okay?"

Ji Xiuran wanted to refuse and didn't want to trouble him, but seeing Lu Jingyao's sincere eyes, he couldn't bear to brush off his kindness, so he agreed, and said, "I'm sorry to trouble you."

"No trouble." Lu Jingyao's face was as calm as usual, but his heart was filled with joy. He controlled his expression so that he would not expose himself too clearly, and endured it with great difficulty.

The clock made a small sound in the still night, and Ji Xiuran was surprised that it was 01:30 in the morning. The living room was as bright as day, but it was dark outside. He wanted to remind Lu Jingyao to go back to rest, but he was afraid that it would be unsafe to drive in the early morning.After careful consideration, Ji Xiuran tentatively asked, "Do you want to stay and rest?"

Lu Jingyao was full of surprises, but Ji Xiuran had already got up, and he followed him to the door of the bedroom. The bedroom is not big, and it can be seen from his angle. The main tone of light gray looks simple and clean.Then, Lu Jingyao saw Ji Xiuran coming out, holding a new bathrobe and toiletries in his hand, and said to him, "Only these, don't mind."

Lu Jingyao shook his head hastily. He was too happy, so why would he mind.He took the things and walked into the bathroom, his arm was injured so he couldn't take a bath, he took some water and wiped his body, then changed into the bathrobe that Ji Xiuran gave him, it was obviously his size, so it was still a little too small for him , Fortunately, the bathrobe is loose, but it's nothing.

Walking out of the bathroom, the bedside lamp in the bedroom was on with a warm light, the bedding on the bed had already been spread, it was very tidy, the air conditioner was blowing cool breeze, and the temperature was just right.Lu Jingyao looked around but Ji Xiuran was nowhere to be seen. He walked out of the bedroom and cleaned up the living room where the thieves had visited. Lu Jingyao looked around and his eyes fell on the sofa.

Ji Xiuran was lying sideways on the sofa, curled up, and fell into a deep sleep with his eyes closed. He had already taken a shower and changed his clothes. The bathrobe was loosely worn on his body, revealing a small white shoulder on the side of his neck, bathed in the moonlight. Underneath exudes a warm light.

Lu Jingyao quietly walked in front of him, and knelt down halfway. In the dark, he used his eyes to outline Ji Xiuran's clear eyebrows, and saw a note on the coffee table beside him——

"Go to bed early after washing, I'll go to bed first."

Lu Jingyao originally wanted to change him to sleep on the sofa, but seeing that Ji Xiuran was sleeping soundly, he was afraid of waking him up, so he thought about it, gently picked up the blanket that covered Ji Xiuran's body, covered it carefully, and then reluctantly went back to the room .

The quilt was very soft and smelled like it had been exposed to the sun. Lu Jingyao couldn't fall asleep no matter how much he hugged the quilt.He imagined that Ji Xiuran was lying beside him, he was hugging him and sleeping together, and the two of them exchanged each other's body temperature, this kind of scene, just thinking about it, felt very beautiful.

The knife wound on his arm still had a slight stabbing pain, but Lu Jingyao didn't take it seriously. Although he suffered a wound, it made the invisible gap between them disappear a bit.

This knife is totally worth it.
