back to 1997

After going out, Xue Dingyuan thought about it again, and then tentatively walked towards the direction of the night market in his memory.

Although his memory and sense of direction are good, after all these years, he still took a detour, but luckily he finally arrived at his destination.

This night market is next to an old building area that can be regarded as a slum. The things sold are not very good, but the price is cheap, which is suitable for them now.

Xue Dingyuan walked around and bought some necessities carefully. After all, he really didn't have much money in his pocket, and he had to save some money for Chu Hongsheng to see a doctor.

So he returned to the clinic very quickly, and Chu Hongsheng's needle was just pulled out at this time. Seeing him coming back, he gave him a rare smile, although it disappeared soon.

Xue Dingyuan: ...

He must have masochism, because this person who is not good at giving him a good face smiles at him like this, and he feels a spring blossoming in his heart.

Xue Dingyuan and Yu Qingsheng settled the bill, prescribed medicine again, and made an appointment to fetch water at this time tomorrow, so they went out with things in one hand and Chu Hongsheng in the other.

The two stumbled to the fifth floor. After opening the door, Xue Dingyuan threw his things on the ground, then helped Chu Hongsheng into the room, and put him on the bed.

This bed is also the reason Xue Dingyuan rented this house - it is a double bed, although it is 1.5 meters.

But if there are two single beds, you have to buy two quilts, which will cost more money-the poor live on the doorstep, and everything has to be calculated!

Anyway, they are two men, so it's okay to squeeze together. When I earn money later, I can live in a place with better conditions.

"Lie down for a while, I'll go clean up first." Xue Dingyuan walked out of the room as he said so.

Chu Hongsheng felt that he was much better after pulling the water, and he didn't want to make Xue Dingyuan busy himself, so he thought of helping.

But after he took only a few steps, he felt his legs were as soft as noodles. He hurriedly wanted to take two more steps to lean against the wall to rest, but at this moment, his head became dizzy again, and his eyes were also a little dark...

Xue Dingyuan entered the door with the quilt in his arms, and saw Chu Hongsheng rushing towards the wall, as if he was about to commit suicide by touching the wall. He was so frightened that he threw away the things in his hand, and rushed over, wanting to take advantage of Chu Hongsheng before he hit the wall. Do a quarantine.

But Chu Hongsheng was dizzy, but he also knew that if he really hit the wall, his head would be bleeding, so he stretched out a hand reluctantly at the very moment, and put it against Xue Dingyuan's ear who was standing next to the wall.

Xue Dingyuan: ...

What kind of trouble is this standard wall-dong posture?

And in the next second, Chu Hongsheng bumped into him, and put his head on his shoulder. Because the other person was still having a fever, his slightly hot breath fell on his neck.

Xue Dingyuan: ...

Half of the body is numb, what's the matter?

But then Chu Hongsheng slid down, Xue Dingyuan quickly reached out to hug him, and dragged him back to the bed.

Chu Hongsheng's consciousness is still awake, he feels ashamed, really ashamed, too shameful, not to help, but to add to the chaos.

So he closed his eyes tightly, trying to pretend that he passed out and didn't know anything.

But his eyeballs are still rolling under his nose!

Of course Xue Dingyuan knew that Chu Hongsheng would not commit suicide, and seeing him like this, he thought it was a bit funny, but thinking about the other party hanging a big bottle of water just now, he still asked, "Are you going to the toilet?"

Although not, Chu Hongsheng couldn't think of a better excuse, so he nodded.

"You want to call me, I'll help you." Xue Dingyuan looked at Chu Hongsheng who was paralyzed on the bed again, hesitated for a while before saying, "How about I find you a basin first, you... well, I'll help you." Did you fall?"

Chu Hongsheng: ...

Is it shameful to admit that I help, or is it convenient to be shameful in bed?

It's all embarrassing!

But after Xue Dingyuan said that, Chu Hongsheng realized that he really wanted to go to the bathroom, so he could only helplessly open his eyes, "Help me to the bathroom."

Xue Dingyuan reckoned that Chu Hongsheng would not agree, so he didn't continue to persuade him, but directly stepped forward to help him up, and then walked towards the bathroom.

Chu Hongsheng thought he was going to go downstairs, but Xue Dingyuan helped him into a small room. Fortunately, he also mentioned that the toilets of the city people were in the room while watching TV, so he was not too surprised.

Xue Dingyuan helped Chu Hongsheng stand by the toilet, and then he saw Chu Hongsheng was silent for five seconds.

He was a little embarrassed, "Just put water on this."

Chu Hongsheng's voice was a little thick, "I know."

Then you are going to act...

Chu Hongsheng was silent for another five seconds, "You go out, I'll just support the wall by myself."

Xue Dingyuan almost laughed, "The wall is far away, hurry up, what are men afraid of?"

Chu Hongsheng was silent again, this time a little longer, but finally he started to act.

Men all have inferiority in key parts, Xue Dingyuan is no exception, sneaking a glance, then silently thinking that I am only sixteen and I am only sixteen.

This is self-deception. He probably grew up early in his previous life, and then suffered from malnutrition, so he didn't grow any more after reaching 16 meters at the age of 1.7.

But he believes that as long as he eats and drinks well in this life, he will definitely be better than his previous life.

But he was silently jealous of Chu Hongsheng... only two years older than himself, this height, 1.8 meters, right?This XX is [-] centimeters tall, right?

Even the sound of running water is very loud.

He will have a big house of 180 square meters in the future!

I have to eat a little more when I cook later, even if it is not as good as other things, I can't drop too far in height.

With this thought in mind, Xue Dingyuan helped Chu Hongsheng back again, but this time he let Chu Hongsheng sit on the chair beside the bed first, then picked up the quilt that had just been thrown on the ground, and started busy making the bed. Mattress sheets, a quilt, and two pillow covers on the pillow.

Chu Hongsheng looked at the bright red bed sheet, quilt cover and pillow towel, and felt that his throat was inexplicably itchy.

He endured and endured, but still couldn't help asking Xue Dingyuan who was kneeling on the bed to do the last work, "Why did you buy such a red set, it seems..."

It's like having a wedding.

And there was only one quilt.

Then he saw that Xue Dingyuan's body seemed to be a little stiff, which made Chu Hongsheng feel that his heart was also lifted.

Then he saw Xue Dingyuan turning his head slowly, looking at him with shy eyes.

Chu Hongsheng's heart beat instantly.

Afterwards, Xue Dingyuan said, "I also know about your family...but this set is the cheapest, and besides, this quilt is big enough, really."

And a double quilt is cheaper than two single quilts.

Chu Hongsheng: ...

Xue Dingyuan actually felt that he was quite inappropriate, but he was really a penny, so he jumped out of the bed rather embarrassed, "Well, you rest on the bed for a while, and I will cook something."

After helping Chu Hongsheng to bed, Xue Dingyuan went to the kitchen.

He just bought a large horse ladle at the night market, and now he rinsed it and took the water and put it on the gas stove.

There is no gas pipeline in the old building area, but the landlord provided a gas tank. When he checked the house, he carried it, knowing that there was still gas in it, so he also bought dried noodles and eggs along the way.

After the water boiled, he laid two poached eggs, and when it was ready, he put a catty of dried noodles in it. He and Chu Hongsheng were both half-children, and they only worried about not having enough to eat, not worrying about not being able to eat.

For the condiment, he only bought salt for the time being, and he could only make do with it.

At about the same time, he washed two pots and two pairs of chopsticks, filled the noodles and took them in, and moved the small table used as a dining table in the room to the side of the bed.

Although Chu Hongsheng was still weak, he still had the strength to eat. At this point, both of them were starving, so Xili Hulu ate deliciously.

After eating, Xue Dingyuan went to clean up again. Chu Hongsheng knew that if he got up to help, he might make the same mistake as before, so An Sheng lay on the bed, just listened to the movement outside, imagining Xue Dingyuan's movements, and then listened. Xue Dingyuan hummed a little tune.

Xue Dingyuan is in a very good mood now. He has already taken the first step in the Long March. Although he is still poor for the time being, he firmly believes that the future will get better and better.

With this in mind, he washed the dishes, cleaned up the pile of odds and ends, took a shower in the bathroom, and washed his clothes naked.

The replacement clothes were lost together with the quilt, and I have to go to work tomorrow, so even if I don’t change clothes, I still have to clean them.

Fortunately, he was still wearing unlined clothes, so he should be able to do it tomorrow morning.

After doing this, he fetched another basin of water, intending to wipe Chu Hongsheng's body.

But Chu Hongsheng started to feel awkward again, wrapped himself in a quilt into a silkworm chrysalis, and refused to come out no matter what.

Moreover, he closed his eyes tightly, as if he would open a needle's eye just by looking at him.

While it's true that he's not wearing any clothes, they're all men... well, maybe that's why they're all men.

However, he still coaxed Chu Hongsheng with a good voice, "Come out and wipe, so that you can sleep comfortably at night, and your illness will be cured sooner. Besides, it would be better to wash those scratches, otherwise they should be infected."

But Chu Hongsheng still closed his eyes, taking his words as deaf ears.

Xue Dingyuan coaxed by the side for a long time, seeing that Chu Hongsheng still had the attitude of not doing anything, he couldn't help complaining, "Why are you so awkward, when you wiped my body..."

Before he finished speaking, Chu Hongsheng opened his eyes with a brush, "Didn't you faint when you talked about my house?"

Xue Dingyuan: ...

The author has something to say: Chu Hongsheng: What are you looking at?

Xue Dingyuan: Sooner or later it will be mine, let me see what's wrong?
