five years later

After winter, it gets dark quickly, and Anyuan is brightly lit as soon as he gets out of the subway.Most of the people around him were the same as him, they had just returned from get off work in the company, they walked in a hurry and looked tired.

An Yuan put his hands in his pockets.The weather was too cold, so he had already changed his handbag to a backpack.The wind blowing across his face made him stop for a while, and he lost his way at the crossroads.

Liu Youxia has always been busy, from the beginning of the year to the end of the year.His physical examination report a week ago made people feel bad. There was no major problem, but San Gao faintly showed signs of rising, and coupled with the severe decline in immunity, An Yuan became silent as soon as he left the hospital.

The two had a brief argument about it.

An Yuan persuaded Liu Youxia to cherish his body, but the other's left ear went in and the right ear went out, and everything remained the same.I still go out early and come back late, and occasionally stay up until two o'clock in the morning.

An Yuan moved slowly to the community.He has lived in this place for six years, and he is familiar with the veins of every plant and tree. Speaking of which, he would like to thank the landlord for watching him for so long without getting tired of it.

In the past few years, the two elderly people were still in good health, and they would occasionally give Anyuan some pastries made by themselves, and everyone was very harmonious upstairs and downstairs.It's just that the old man went back to the countryside to recuperate last year, and the house was given to his son and daughter-in-law, and they gradually lost contact with each other.

After An Yuan arrived home, he put away his bag and stood in the middle of the living room, not knowing what to do.Time seemed to pass so quickly, he couldn't even remember how he lived before Liu Youxia came back.

In the refrigerator were quick-frozen dumplings bought by Anyuan last week.He took a bag in his hand and immediately went to the kitchen to prepare dinner.

Anyuan's family can make dumplings.Although my aunt is really beautiful, the dumplings she cooks are really bad.It stands to reason that there is no skill in making dumplings, but the taste in your mouth is completely different from the uncle's craftsmanship.

After cooking for a short time, the dumplings all floated to the top.An Yuan put it in a bowl, filled it with a plate of vinegar, and carried it to the living room.The quick-frozen dumplings were not unpalatable, but they didn't resonate emotionally. An Yuan only ate two and put down his chopsticks.He thought it would be better to cook a bowl of instant noodles and go to sleep after eating.

An Yuan looked around.There is no one in the house, not only looks empty, but also a little deserted.He sighed, got up and packed the dumplings in a lunch box, put on his clothes and prepared to go out to buy instant noodles.

The little things no one wants live a rough life, basically not picky about life and big.An Yuan thought that his cabbage and meat dumplings would not do anything wrong, so he poured them all into the plastic basin beside the flower bed.

The weather was too cold, and the kittens and puppies were unwilling to come out, so An Yuan gave up after waiting for a while.

He put the lunch box in the security room at the door, planning to buy a pack of instant noodles before returning.But when he reached the entrance of the convenience store, An Yuan hesitated and didn't go in.

In the end, I gritted my teeth and stomped my feet and went to the supermarket.

Walking on the road, An Yuan thought that they should not quarrel, let alone that Liu Youxia should give in first after every quarrel.This kind of relationship makes him afraid, if one day the other party feels tired, what should be used to maintain this relationship at that time?

There were not many people in the supermarket, so Anyuan quickly picked them out.I didn't buy instant noodles, I have to cook anyway, and eating instant noodles is too embarrassing.The wind on the road was so strong that people couldn't walk, but he still broke his record for walking from the supermarket to his home.

Half of Liu Youxia's skills depend on hard work and hard work, and the other half rely on talent.An Yuan is not, his level can reach a passing grade at most, he can barely have a home-cooked meal, and he can barely eat.

What's more terrible is that home-cooked stir-fry with candlelight is awkward no matter how you look at it.

Anyuan doesn't know how to cook Western food, so he chose to give up after looking at a piece of beef for a long time.At night, you can't do the business of stealing chickens and losing rice. If you want to waste it, you will feel bad for the north wind blowing along the way.

He wrapped the beef and put it back in the refrigerator, and chose his four best dishes.They are scrambled eggs with tomatoes, stir-fried meat with green peppers, stir-fried vegetables with vegetables, and white radish bone soup that you are tired of eating.

An Yuan put the soup on the fire to simmer first, and prepared the stir-fry when Liu Youxia came back.I haven't done it for a long time, and I feel a little rusty when putting oil and salt.The taste that came out in the end was very ordinary, but it was still within Anyuan's expectations for himself.

Liu Youxia arrived home at nine o'clock, much earlier than usual, which caught An Yuan by surprise.He ran out of the kitchen holding a spatula, a little happy and frowning.

"Why am I unhappy because I came back early?" Liu Youxia looked at him with a smile, and then stepped forward to look into the kitchen. There were half-fried vegetables in the pot.

Liu Youxia suppressed her smile, frowned and asked, "Have you eaten yet?" While asking, she unbuttoned her shirt, rolled up her sleeves and prepared to put it on herself, but was stopped by An Yuan.

"No, if you only cook one dish, who will eat the remaining three dishes?" An Yuan pushed him away, "Go take a shower if you are in a hurry, or go to work, I will be fine soon."

Liu Youxia repeatedly raised her hands in surrender, turned around and kissed him on the cheek, and whispered "I'm back".Then he took off his coat and prepared to go to the bathroom to take a shower.

When An Yuan returned to the kitchen, the dishes were not mushy, but they had been cooked for too long, dragging the original passing level to below [-] points.

Looking at the rather curious looking dishes on the table, Liu Youxia laughed lowly.

"Don't laugh, although you look ugly, I promise you can eat it." An Yuan was in a hurry, and he went to pick up the meat by himself, but just as he was about to put it in his mouth, Liu Youxia grabbed his wrist.

He changed the direction of the chopsticks and kept staring at An Yuan while eating.

"It's okay, but I mistook dark soy sauce for light soy sauce. The soy sauce tastes too strong and too salty." After speaking, Liu Youxia picked up the chopsticks and tasted all four dishes like a food critic.

"Although there is still a lot of room for improvement, it is in line with my taste and I like it very much."

An Yuan was a little embarrassed to be praised so unconscionably.Then he thumped Liu Youxia's shoulder and served him a bowl of soup. "Have you eaten, have some soup, I know the other dishes are not good, so I won't embarrass you."

This white radish bone soup Anyuan has been fascinated by since he was a child, thinking that there should be no mistakes.But the other party refused to answer it for a long time, which made his hand holding the bowl freeze in the air.

"I want to kiss you before drinking the soup." Liu Youxia propped her chin, looking at An Yuan with blurred eyes.

"Ah?" An Yuan became angry with embarrassment, "Is it so bad?"

Liu Youxia laughed when he looked like a puffer fish.He took the bowl, "Gulu Gulu" went down and drank most of the soup, leaving a few pieces of radish at the bottom of the bowl.

"It's not bad, but I think you are too gentle. I want to kiss you."

What An Yuan couldn't bear the most was that Liu Youxia had a serious and innocent face, but what he said was all shameless words.He leaned over and kissed the corner of the other's lips lightly, then picked up his chopsticks seriously.

"That's it for now. I haven't eaten yet. I'll talk about things later."

Liu Youxia laughed out loud, and after laughing, she lay down on the table to watch An Yuan eat.His eyes were burning, sliding from the opponent's face to his fingers, as if he was about to stare at a hole.

An Yuan sat tormented, and finally couldn't take it anymore, so he picked up his chopsticks and knocked on Liu Youxia's bowl. "You haven't finished eating your radishes yet."

He still had food in his mouth, and his words were indistinct, but his appearance was cute.

Liu Youxia pinched his face, seeing An Yuan rolled his eyes at him, couldn't help smiling even more happily. "Got it, I'll eat them right away."

This is true and reliable.In the next few minutes, Liu Youxia ate with all his concentration, and finished half the pot of soup without any interruption.

Seeing him fighting like this, An Yuan worried that he was holding on, so he hurriedly urged people to get up and walk around.

"Then eat quickly, and when you're done eating, we'll exercise and digest together." Liu Youxia purposely spoke ambiguously, and even wiped the grains of rice from his mouth with her hand.

An Yuan glanced at him sideways, but didn't say a word, he picked up the rice in the bowl and pretended he didn't hear anything.In order not to let Liu Youxia succeed, he slowed down on purpose.

After finally waiting for An Yuan to finish eating, Liu Youxia's eyes lit up, and he couldn't wait to pull him up from the chair.

"What are you doing?" An Yuan really ate too much, he stood up abruptly and his stomach hurt a bit from being pulled.

"Why not." Liu Youxia took An Yuan to the study, "I want to show you something."

An Yuan was full of doubts, but he followed him obediently.

The bed in the study room can be folded. When An Mi can't come to sleep, An Yuan puts the bed away and leans against the wall, saving some space for occasional work and reading.

"Your birthday is one week away," Liu Youxia stood still in front of the bookshelf, pulled out a photobook while talking, then turned around and handed the book to An Yuan, smiled at him and said, "Open it and have a look."

An Yuan stared blankly at his smile for a while, then put the book behind his back, stepped forward and kissed his forehead.

"Thank you for the gift."

Liu Youxia held his face, and said seriously: "You haven't seen what gift it is yet. Say thank you now, what if you don't like it?"

An Yuan smiled without saying a word.He opened the photobook. The author was a photographer he liked very much. Most of the photos he took were in black and white.The style is simple, and occasionally one or two colorful photos will pop up.

But when he turned to the thing in front of him, the smile covering his mouth slowly froze.

"I originally wanted to give it to you on your birthday, but today I don't know what happened and I suddenly couldn't help it." Liu Youxia stroked An Yuan's hair, feeling a little uneasy.

"I know you are worried about my body, but a year is too long, and I don't want to delay this matter any longer."

An Yuan picked up the real estate certificate and looked at it carefully, and suddenly stuck it on Liu Youxia's face, scolding: "Are you a fool? What's a year, it's been a year since you came back."

Liu Youxia took off the real estate certificate and opened it to Anyuan to see the line of house ownership—the names of Anyuan and Liu Youxia lined up side by side.

"Do you know?" An Yuan touched the name, then raised his head to look at Liu Youxia. "I originally wanted to apologize to you. I was afraid that you would make too much concessions. What should I do if one day I don't like it?"

"But now, I don't want to apologize." An Yuan closed the real estate certificate, put the card back into the album and stuffed it into the bookshelf.He finished all this with gentle movements, but when he turned around, he looked angry.

An Yuan stretched out his hand to grab Liu Youxia's neck, and cursed bitterly: "I told you not to care about your health for a real estate certificate, and told you to lie to me!"

He didn't have much strength, Liu Youxia tore it apart with a light pull. "From today on, I will eat and sleep well. I will not smoke or drink alcohol. I will cook for you when I get home from get off work."

An Yuan was held in his arms, and after struggling for a while, he stopped moving. "This is what you said. If you break your promise, I will drive you out."

Liu Youxia answered "Yes" with a smile, and then added, "I listen to you in everything."
