cold flame

During this time, Gao Wenxuan went home immediately after get off work. He was not only responsible for cooking and washing dishes, but also took care of Lin Mo. The unfinished work in the yard during the day was only continued in the study when he returned to his room to rest.Gradually, a part of the backlog was accumulated. Seeing that Lin Mo's mood had stabilized yesterday, he was relieved to stay in the hospital and work overtime. In order to take the day off that he finally managed to squeeze out tomorrow, he had to quickly complete the papers that had accumulated for many days.

As soon as I sat in front of the computer, I looked back at the time and it was late at night.Driving home, I opened the door and saw that the living room was still dimly lit, and the person lying on the sofa was sleeping soundly with a soft cushion and a plush blanket.

Xiao Bai was curled up on the carpet by Lin Mo's sofa, but when he saw Gao Wenxuan, he wagged his tail happily and rubbed against his feet. Give it cold boiled water, and without thinking about it, Lin Mo must have been fed dog food.

He brought a medical kit, squatted next to Lin Mo's sofa, carefully applied the new medicine on the other's palm, and then tirelessly wrapped the white gauze layer by layer. During the process, Lin Mo, who was sleeping soundly, was so docile that his eyelashes didn't even flicker. Gao Wenxuan was allowed to bandage in silence.

Xiaobai also followed his master, whimpering twice, and sat patiently beside him, staring at the person on the sofa together with Gao Wenxuan.

"Momo." After watching for a while, he got up and sat next to Lin Mo.

The other party opened his eyes, blinked his slender eyelashes a few times, turned his head slightly and said, "You're back."

"Just got back, the medicine has been changed for you."

Lin Mo just wanted to say "thank you", but when he thought of what the other party said yesterday, he forcibly didn't say these two words.

Gao Wenxuan said: "I saw the takeaway that I ordered for you in the kitchen. There is still a lot left. It seems that you haven't eaten a few bites."

"Not to my liking."

Gao Wenxuan laughed, and said: "It seems that I have made a trick of your mouth. You are still hungry, what do you want to eat?"

When I just woke up, I really wanted to eat. Thinking that the other party had just come back from overtime, I said, "No need, I'm not hungry, and I ate some fruit at night."

"Then I'll warm you up a cup of milk later before going to bed."

"Ah."

Gao Wenxuan stared at Lin Mo's face, and suddenly said softly: "You fell asleep in the living room, are you here waiting for me to come back?"

Lin Mo was said to be half thinking, a little flustered, his face remained calm, and he pretended to be indifferent: "Of course not, I fell asleep when I read a book."

Picking up the book on the coffee table, Gao Wenxuan glanced at the cover and said, "Will you feel sleepy after reading mystery novels?"

"Who made the rule that you can't get sleepy after reading mystery novels."

"I think you are teasing Xiaobai, you only get sleepy when you are tired from playing."

"This is just one of the reasons." Lin Mo under the blanket moved slightly, stretching his stiff body. He looked up at Gao Wenxuan and said, "Let's go out tomorrow and buy some toys for Xiao Bai."

"Okay, buy another dog house, so it can live in it when it grows up."

"There are also snacks and leashes." Lin Mo mentioned the must-haves for raising a dog that he found online today.

"Okay, I'll make a list, and we'll buy them all together tomorrow." Gao Wenxuan fulfilled the requirements one by one with some amusement, showing a hint of doting eyes.

He touched Lin Mo's forehead and said, "If you don't sleep so late, you won't be able to get up tomorrow. Go back to your room and rest."

Hearing this, Lin Mo got up with Gao Wenxuan's support, and the two went back to the room together as usual.

Gao Wenxuan let the other party sit on the head of the bed, covered him with a quilt, and then went out to heat the milk. When he came back, he saw Lin Mo leaning on the bed, shaking his head, and began to doze off.

"It seems that I'm really sleepy. I'm going to sleep after drinking."

Lin Mo took the warm milk, drank it all, and returned the empty glass to Gao Wenxuan before falling asleep on his back.In a hurry, he even forgot to wipe off the few drops of milk stains on the corner of his mouth.

Gao Wenxuan reached out and gently wiped Lin Mo's wet lips, wiping off the white milk traces.Looking at each other softly, he said, "Good night."

"……Good night."

"It's rare to have a break, so I can make fried noodles for you." Gao Wenxuan put the refreshing orange juice beside him, and saw Lin Mo take a bite of the noodles in the bowl before he picked up his chopsticks and asked, "Is it delicious?"

Lin Mo continued to pick up the noodles with a fork, and said, "The taste is a bit bland."

"This is very suitable for you at this stage. You have been staying at home during this time. Is there anything you want to play today?"

Lin Mo thought about the places he often hang out with Yang Hao and the others. They were either playing games in Internet cafes or having fun in bars. There seemed to be no place he particularly wanted to go, so he said, "No."

Gao Wenxuan showed an unsurprised expression, as if he had been prepared for a long time, and said: "Then I will arrange the whole day today."

"What should Xiaobai do?" Lin Mo couldn't ignore the small animal that was staring up at them for breakfast at the moment, and its long pink tongue seemed to be drooling. If Gao Wenxuan hadn't reminded him to eat less and more often, he would definitely Can't help but pour more dog food for it to eat.

Gao Wenxuan had already made arrangements, and said with a smile: "Aunt Cai will feed Xiaobai when she comes to clean at noon. I have already told her."

Before going out, Gao Wenxuan changed his clothes and came to his room to help, considering that Lin Mo's right hand was inconvenient. He put on a loose knitted sweater and a long thick down jacket outside to wrap up his thin body tightly. Only the fair neck was exposed.

"Are you wearing too much?" In the warm room these days, Lin Mo is really not used to changing from a light coat to a clumsy outfit, and this down jacket is not his own. Look at the owner of the clothes that are obviously one size bigger.

"The temperature outside is lower than you imagined." Coming out of the elevator, Gao Wenxuan stopped when he was about to walk to the parking lot, took off the scarf around his neck, and put it on Lin Mo without any explanation, "It's warm now."

"Aren't you cold?"

"I can generate heat by myself." Gao Wenxuan took his hand and continued walking forward, as if to prove his words.

The firm palm conveyed the warmth, and Lin Mo was led by the other party for a short distance without a word, and Gao Wenxuan let go when he reached the parking lot, "I'll drive the car over, you will wait for me here."

The wind was blowing around the big parking lot. Lin Mo stood there and put his hands into the pockets of his coat. The cashmere scarf that was worn hot by the other party still had residual warmth, wrapping him airtightly.

After driving for nearly an hour and a half, they came to the Ocean Park in the neighboring city.Since it is not a weekend, there are not many people visiting, and most of them are parents traveling with children who are on winter vacation.

"How did you come here?" Lin Mo remembered that Gao Wenxuan and his sister had come here to play.

"I remember you said that you wanted to come and see. You didn't come because you went to participate in the competition before. Today is a rare opportunity to bring you here."

"Make up for the regret." Lin Mo understood instantly, his eyes casually staring somewhere in front of him.

Gao Wenxuan corrected with a smile: "It is to make up for my regret."

After deleting the experiential stimulating items, they introduced the attractions one by one. The gluttonous little sea lions in the sea lion pavilion, carrying a ball like a child showing their talents in front of adults, performed hard for applause and food. However, the small animals in the Penguin Pavilion are different. Just shaking their fat bodies, a large number of tourists exclaimed that they were cute and rushed to take pictures.

"Do you want me to take a picture for you?" Gao Wenxuan saw a large group of people taking a photo with the penguin through the transparent glass, and asked Lin Mo who was attracted by the silly animals.

"I'm not a child." Lin Mo glared at him, not understanding why Gao Wenxuan thought that he would run up to take pictures like those children's parents.

Gao Wenxuan smiled and said, "You can be a childlike adult."

"Then you go, I'll take pictures for you." Lin Mo raised his eyebrows proudly as if he had expected that the other party would not answer.

"Why bother, let's go together."

Before Lin Mo could react, he took his arm and came to a curious penguin tilting his head. Gao Wenxuan took out his mobile phone and asked a young mother who had just finished taking pictures of her son to help.

"Hey, they are two handsome guys!" The other party took the mobile phone very enthusiastically, and stepped back a few steps facing them to find an angle. "You are too tall, and you can't see the penguins at all in the whole body."

Gao Wenxuan and Lin Mo stood side by side straight, feeling the sight from the surroundings.After all, in this Ocean Park occupied by a family of three and couples on weekdays, it is extremely rare for two big men to swim hand in hand, let alone two men with outstanding looks who squeezed out the crowd and took pictures with penguins.

Lin Mo was about to tell the young mother who took the photo that he could just take a picture, but before he could open his mouth, he heard the other party command loudly: "Both of you squat down, this is the best way to take pictures with the penguins! Hmmmm That's right... the handsome guy on the right, move a little to the side so that the penguin is between you two."

The young parents also squatted down, holding the mobile phone in one hand, and swaying the other hand to direct their direction, and tried their best to ask them to pose perfectly, "Are you two laughing too stiffly, do whatever you want , otherwise it would be too touristy.”

Lin Mo was moved by the other party's professionalism. Despite the ten thousand reluctances in his heart, he still stretched out a finger on the glass and pretended to poke the penguin's snow-white belly. Seeing Lin Mo's cooperation, Gao Wenxuan also did it with a smile .

"Okay, this one is OK, you can change your moves, son, you show one to these two brothers."

The little boy who was watching happily by the side immediately received the instruction, pushed his arm forward, and showed a thumb to them. The young mother smiled and said, "Yes, that's it, my son is awesome."

This is a photo of a real tourist!Having reached this point, Lin Mo squeezed out a smile, showing a row of teeth, and gave a thumbs up helplessly. Gao Wenxuan couldn't help laughing while observing his expression.

As soon as the other party said "OK", Lin Mo quickly stood up to prevent being forced to take pictures.

"The handsome guy really looks good no matter what you take." The young mother smiled and returned the phone to Gao Wenxuan, holding her son's hand and saying goodbye.

"Anyway, I took the photos very seriously." Gao Wenxuan flipped through the snapped and posed photos in his mobile phone album, and almost completely grasped his thoughts, not letting go of every movement and expression.

Lin Mo leaned over and saw a few photos of himself giggling in embarrassment, and said, "Delete those photos quickly."

"Why delete it?"

"Of course it's not a good photo, you have to delete it." He himself felt a little embarrassed when he saw it just now.

"I refuse." Gao Wenxuan locked the screen and put away the phone with a smile.
