waiting for the flowers to bloom

"So you haven't made any progress in the past six months!" Ma Qian took a drag on his cigarette, then shook the ash.

"How fast, little by little. Didn't you start quitting smoking in spring? Haven't quit yet?"

"Forget it, I don't have your perseverance, I gave up a long time ago."

Maybe it was because Sui Dong had something on his mind. Although several people got together for the meal, they always felt that something was missing in the noisy atmosphere. In the end, they didn't go for a drink and went back separately.

"Then you have a day off tomorrow, so you can beat the jet lag. Let's set off the day after tomorrow. Do you want to drive or take the high-speed rail?" Cao Kexuan asked Sui Dong standing beside the car.

"Let's drive, otherwise it will be inconvenient to go there. We can drive differently."

"Okay, then I'm leaving."

"Thank you for today."

"polite!"

Because he has resigned from the branch company, Sui Dong's temporary apartment in the west of the city has also changed hands. Currently, he has no other place to live, so he has to go back home.

When they got home, Meng Qiuxia and Sui Guofeng were both there, "I'm back! Why did you lose weight?"

"Mom? You haven't slept yet."

"Isn't this waiting for you? You have been there for half a year without coming back to see."

"How about over there? What can you gain?" Sui Guofeng also came forward holding a teacup.

"It's good, it's much better than expected, and it feels quite fulfilling." Sui Dong didn't know what he thought of, smiled and said, "I should have gone earlier."

"Really? But it's not too late now, aren't you only 27, you're still young, so why worry?"

Judging from Sui Guofeng's attitude, it seems that he is quite satisfied with his current state, which comforts Sui Dong.When he went to be an apprentice, he didn't discuss it with others. Later, he told his family that he thought he would be opposed. As a result, Meng Qiuxia was very optimistic about him, but Sui Guofeng's attitude was a little unclear. At this time, it seemed that his family Still respect your own choices.

"Dad, then I'll take a shower first. I haven't changed these clothes for a few days, so they're uncomfortable to wear."

"En. Oh, yes, you take this up." Sui Guofeng took out a plate of small shells from nowhere.

"Shell? What are you doing for me?"

"Cancan was here just now, and said she was waiting for you to come back to see you off. Later, before you fell asleep, your brother and your sister-in-law went back first."

"But I don't have a place to put it up, or I'll put it here, maybe Cancan still wants to play."

"Just put it in your house, and Cancan will know that you like it. Cancan specially picked this for you. I picked it up when I went to the beach in summer. I have been waiting for you for months."

"This little thing knows how to love his second uncle." Thinking of Sui Can, Sui Dong's heart suddenly softened.

When Sui Dong finished the day in a daze, when he was lying on the bed, he felt that he would never want to wake up in this life, he was really sleepy, and within about 1 minute, he had completely fallen into a deep sleep.

Contrary to Sui Dong, Song Fanfan finally returned home after several trips from the airport. It was already late at night after he packed his luggage and washed himself. A burst of hunger came, but Song Fanfan really didn't want to move.bear with it...

Because he slept very late at night, it was already past nine o'clock in the morning when Song Fanfan was awakened by the ringing of the bell.Picking up the phone, he saw that it was Sui Dong. He didn't want to leave today, did he?

"Hey?"

"Song Fanfan, you haven't gotten up yet? I'm outside the door, can you open the door for me?"

"Outside my house? Wait a moment." Song Fanfan's mind suddenly cleared up a lot, he hung up the phone and hurriedly got out of bed to open the door.

"Why did you come so early?" Song Fanfan opened the door and saw Sui Dong standing outside the door with a big black bag on his back, stomping his feet coldly.

Sui Dong entered the house and put the bag on the shelf by the door. "It's nothing, it's just..." I just miss you a little.But nothing came out after that.

He woke up very early today, and Nuo Da's house was quiet. He wanted to sleep again, but when he came back to the bedroom from the bathroom, he saw the shells he brought last night, and he remembered that he and Song Fanfan had also We've been to the beach together.

It was raining that night, they watched the sunrise, and picked up a lot of shells, and later gave them all to Song Fanfan, and they don't know what Song Fanfan did with them.

He was so tired yesterday that he had to back up several times to go back to Yijiang. He didn't know if Song Fanfan was okay last night or if his feet still hurt.

The more Sui Dong thought about it, the more he regretted that he let Song Fanfan go back like that yesterday, so he didn't stay for a moment, packed up the things he would probably use in the past few days, and set off for Yijiang.

Although Meng Qiuxia was distressed that her son had just returned and had to go out without much rest, Sui Dong's "revolutionary cause" had not yet succeeded, and she only hoped that Sui Dong could get his wish.

Seeing Sui Dong's faltering and fumbling, Song Fanfan didn't bother to ask any more, he just poured Sui Dong a glass of water and went to wash himself.

Sitting alone on the sofa, Sui Dong felt a little emotional. He was once regarded as Song Fanfan's friend, received warm hospitality from their family in this home, and was once rejected by this family.Sitting here at the moment feels extraordinarily happy, different from the casualness at home, and I have more expectations for this place.

The departure date was set for tomorrow, so Song Fanfan and Sui Dong stayed at home and watched TV all day.

In the evening, Sui Dong bluntly said that he would stay for the night.

Song Fanfan felt numb to Sui Dong's various requests. He naturally hoped that Sui Dong would be more conscious and leave voluntarily when the time came, but obviously the other party did not have such awareness.

Of course, his first reaction was to refuse, but he didn't want to spend too much time talking with him. No matter what, he still has to go to Yuanshi with this person tomorrow. There are still many days to get along, so there is really no need to worry too much about this kind of thing tangled.

"Then... you can sleep in my room, I'll sleep in Haohao's side. Don't mess with my things."

"I will never move, thank you."

Song Fanfan thought for a while, and felt that it was still necessary to explain his thoughts, so as not to be misunderstood by the other party: "I don't mean anything else, don't get me wrong."

"No, I didn't misunderstand. Don't worry, I'll get it right." Sui Dong answered quickly.

Song Fanfan didn't continue this topic, turned around and went to the bathroom, "I'll go wash first, if you don't bring pajamas, don't take a bath, I don't have a change of clothes for you."

Poor Sui Donggang still wanted to use his pajamas as an excuse, wondering if the kind Song Fanfan would take out his pajamas for himself to wear...

When Sui Dong went to take a shower, Song Fanfan was tidying up in his room when he suddenly heard a knock on the door.When I opened the door, it was the neighbor next door.

"Fanfan? When did you come back? Where are your parents?"

"Hello, auntie. I came back yesterday. My parents are on a business trip. What's the matter with you? Come in and talk about it?"

"No, no, I just felt cold in the house when I was at home. Your uncle just came back and said that the heating in our community will be turned off from 6 pm today to 6 pm tomorrow, and he said something needs to be repaired. I thought your parents would Come over at home and say, you have to be careful when you sleep at night, and be careful not to catch a cold."

"I just said that the more I sit, the colder I get. Thank you, auntie, I understand. You should also pay attention to keeping warm."

"Okay, then I won't bother you."

Song Fanfan went back to the living room thinking about whether to find two more quilts.Because of the collective heating in the community in winter, they all wear single clothes at home, and they only sleep under a thin quilt at night.Tong Wei and Weng Ling only used one quilt, and he and Tong Puhao also shared a bed... There seemed to be no extra quilts at home.

It shouldn't be a problem, it's just one night, the doors and windows are closed, it's not going to be too cold...

Just as Song Fanfan was thinking, Sui Dong came out of the bathroom in his pajamas. "Why is it so cold?"

"Just now the neighbor came over and said that the community will stop heating tonight, what needs to be repaired, if you are cold, why don't you go..."

"I'm very resistant to the cold, I'm fine." Sui Dong would not leave after finally having such an opportunity to live in.

"I think it's the coldest one. It should be fine if you cover it at night."

There is no need to be so polite between them, Song Fanfan went to sleep when he was sleepy, he didn't care when Sui Dong slept.However, Sui Dong was bored watching TV by himself, so he went back to Song Fanfan's room to rest after playing with his mobile phone and feeling bored.

Although he knew that it might be colder than usual after turning off the heating, Song Fanfan didn't expect it to be this cold.It was 1:2 in the morning when he woke up from the cold, and it is now [-]:[-] in the morning. It was useless for him to curl up in a ball under the blanket. He only felt that the temperature of his body was being pulled away little by little. not hot.

Remembering that there should be a quilt in Weng Ling's bedroom, Song Fanfan got out of bed wrapped in the quilt, and fetched the quilt from Weng Ling's bedroom.I wonder how Sui Dong slept?After hesitating for a moment, he opened the door carefully.

"Who?" Sui Dong asked vigilantly, making Song Fanfan jump.

"I, let's see if you need a quilt. I've turned on the light." Song Fanfan turned on the light at the door.

Sui Dong didn't lie down, but wrapped himself in a quilt into a rice dumpling and huddled in the corner, leaving only a pair of eyes out.The two looked at each other for 2 seconds, and Song Fanfan finally couldn't help laughing.

"Ha ha--"

Sui Dong got out of the quilt in embarrassment, "Come up quickly, don't catch a cold."

"You woke up from the cold too?"

Maybe it was a little cold, maybe Song Fanfan's mind was a little dull at night.He wrapped the quilt tightly and sat on the bed.

"It's too cold, so I didn't fall asleep. Shall we squeeze together tonight?" Sui Dong asked casually when he was excited.

Xu Shitian was so cold that Song Fanfan didn't turn his head around for a while, "Okay."

After he finished speaking, he regretted a little. Was he too unprincipled?But before Song Fanfan had a chance to repent, Sui Dong suddenly climbed out of bed, slipped on his slippers, took two steps, closed the bedroom door, turned off the light with his backhand, and rushed onto the bed again.A series of actions are done in one go, flowing smoothly.

Song Fanfan felt that Sui Dong wrapped the quilt tightly around him, "You lean against the wall."

In the darkness, he picked up another thin quilt and draped it over his back, sat down next to himself, and covered the two of them from the front with the last quilt.

Feeling the temperature around him, Song Fanfan suddenly felt some inexplicable peace of mind.

Although the person next to him is Sui Dong, darkness can strengthen many feelings, but at the same time it can weaken many things, such as Song Fanfan's indifference.Even though he felt Sui Dong's intentional approach, Song Fanfan didn't run away, his head was full of one thought: it was too cold outside the bed.

Because the two have not had such close contact for a long time, the feeling magnified by the night allows each other to hear the other's breathing, see the other's outline, and feel the other's strength relying on oneself, a trace of ambiguity hovers quietly between the two. between people.

Although the two of them were on the same bed that night on the farm, at that time one of them wanted to stay away, and the other was afraid of overreaching, and there was room for another person in the space between them.

They felt each other like this, and no one spoke, although each knew that the other was not asleep.

Song Fanfan couldn't stand this weird embarrassment, coughed softly, "Sit all night?"

"what?"

Hearing Song Fanfan's soft breathing, and leaning against his body through the quilt, Sui Dong was a little distracted. Hearing Song Fanfan's slightly ambiguous question, he immediately thought of some unsuitable scenes for children, and suddenly felt Some are distracted, and something is wrong somewhere.

Song Fanfan didn't notice that something was wrong with Sui Dong, and he didn't know that his words were ambiguous, "Why don't you lie down, didn't you say you're leaving tomorrow? You have to rest well at night."

Sui Dong’s situation is not good. Ever since Song Fanfan said those words last Christmas, he has never found anyone to solve his physical problems. His most loyal companions are his hardworking hands, but even so, he still has his own strengths. These personal issues have not been addressed for a long time.

The low temperature could not suppress the strange agitation in the body, but a slight flame sprang up...

At this moment, the two of them shared a quilt with a layer on top, so they could feel better.

Song Fanfan's quilt gradually warmed up, and he also felt a little drowsy, but he could still feel Sui Dong who was sleeping next to him constantly turning over. "Are you still cold?" he asked.

"It's okay." Sui Dong's voice was a little hoarse, as if he was deliberately suppressing his own voice, "You go to bed first, don't worry about me." After speaking, he got out of the quilt, got out of bed in a hurry, and went out in his pajamas. bedroom.

Although Sui Dong tried his best to turn his back to Song Fanfan, the moment he got out of bed, Song Fanfan still understood Sui Dong's problem through the dim light outside the window. He was not sure whether Sui Dong's situation was because of him, and he couldn't tell if it was. Embarrassment or what.

I don't know how long it took before Sui Dong got into the bed next to him with a chill in his body.

Song Fanfan pretended to be asleep, but perhaps the quilts were too close together, and he felt that there seemed to be cool air passing through the two layers of quilts.He quietly and carefully moved to the side bit by bit, just as he relaxed his body, he suddenly felt a rush of hot air rushing towards his face, and his mouth was pressed against the other lip.

At that moment, Song Fanfan was about to open his eyes, but he held back with all his strength, although he didn't know why he did so.

Sui Dong's kiss came too suddenly, and it was extraordinarily long.

With his eyes closed, Song Fanfan felt the weight of Sui Dong pressing on his side, as well as his faster and faster heartbeat, as if he could hear the sound of "Boom—boom—" and his face seemed to be hot .He felt that he had been exposed, and wanted to pretend to turn over, when Sui Dong also left just in time, lay back, and there was no more movement.

After a while, hearing that Sui Dong's breathing became long and regular, Song Fanfan slightly turned his head and looked at Sui Dong who was already sound asleep.

There was a faint light from the window into the room, and he could clearly see his sleeping silhouette.Then he turned around slowly, with his back facing Sui Dong, facing the wall, in chaos.

Obviously...it shouldn't be like this.

His eyes had already adapted to the darkness of the room, and the white wall in front of him also reflected the light coming in from the window. Although he had lost his energy, Sui Dong's kiss made Song Fanfan no longer able to fall asleep calmly.

He didn't push Sui Dong away.

Why?He was thinking too.

He really didn't want to embarrass the other party and himself, but he couldn't explain the response of his heartbeat.The fact is that in his 25 years of life, Sui Dong is still the only one, he will subconsciously choose to escape, but he can't escape no matter what.
