Save Akihara

When it was time for dinner, Zhou Shangli was hungry, there was nothing to eat at home, and his legs and feet were inconvenient to go out, so he had to boil water and boil noodles to eat. As soon as he put the pot on the stand, the doorbell rang, and Zhou Shangli limped away Opening the door, Xiao Qiuyuan stood at the door, smiling at him with a lunch box in his hand.

"Boss Xiao? Please come in."

Xiao Qiuyuan entered the room and handed him the lunch box: "I made cod fish soup, try it."

"Wow, what a treat!" Zhou Shangli took it over and said with a smile, "I was about to boil the noodles. Boss Xiao came just in time."

Seeing that Zhou Shangli was going to turn off the fire in the kitchen, Xiao Qiuyuan asked him to sit down, went to turn off the fire in the kitchen, sat opposite him, and told him to eat quickly, the smell would dissipate when it was cold.

"It's really delicious, did you make it?" Zhou Shangli almost devoured it. He only ate two taels of wonton a day, and he was already hungry.

"The chef made it, I will cook it for you next time." Xiao Qiuyuan pushed the lunch box towards Zhou Shangli, and gently told him, "Eat slowly."

Zhou Shangli was so hot that his face turned red. It was almost impossible for Zhu Bajie to swallow human fruit again. He was full of doubts before, but now he will only be full of happiness. He has no moral thoughts. Qiu Yuan wants to be nice to him, and he is willing.

"Boss Xiao is so kind to people, there must be a lot of peach blossoms?" Zhou Shangli drank the soup, his eyes wandered, guilty and nervous.

"Don't be fooled by some appearances. There are certain contrasts in some things. People who love to laugh are not necessarily happy, and people who are enthusiastic are not necessarily kind. For example, if I deliver food to you, I may also have evil intentions. It may not be good for you. " Xiao Qiuyuan spoke sincerely, with a hint of reminder.

Zhou Shangli looked up at Xiao Qiuyuan, his beard had been shaved, the dark circles under his eyes were still heavy, there were traces of Band-Aids under his hat, his face was still pale, but overall he was better than last night.

"I'm a bachelor, what should Boss Xiao worry about, right?"

Xiao Qiuyuan smiled, seeing that he had finished drinking, he asked, "Are you full?"

"It's about the same. It's enough to be seven percent full. You have to keep in shape." Zhou Shangli rubbed his stomach and added, "Nine percent full."

Xiao Qiuyuan squinted his eyes with a smile, showing his white teeth, his brows were flying, and he was happy because of these words.

"Am I wrong?" Zhou Shangli asked with a smile.

Xiao Qiuyuan shook his head, "I don't know, why don't I touch it and answer you, right?"

Zhou Shangli patted his stomach and said, "Come on, touch it."

"Why do you have the feeling of righteousness and generosity?" Xiao Qiuyuan waved his hand: "I still don't touch it. If you blame me for molesting, I can't explain it."

"What are you afraid of? I don't want you to be responsible."

"I'm not afraid of being responsible, but I'm afraid of not being able to."

Zhou Shangli leaned back on the sofa and said jokingly, "Don't let Mrs. Xiao hear this sentence."

Xiao Qiuyuan said sadly: "She can't hear it anymore."

Zhou Shangli wanted to ask if there was a crisis in his relationship, but when the words came to his lips, he felt that it was impolite to ask so abruptly, thinking that Mrs. Xiao was far away in Paris, separated from Xiao Qiuyuan, and her relationship was strange. Parisian men were romantic and affectionate, and Mrs. Xiao was beautiful and charming , it is not impossible to be taken advantage of.

Because of this sentence, the two fell into a situation where they had nothing to say, and there was silence. When Zhou Shangli saw the tableware on the table, he suddenly realized that there was something to do, so he stretched out his hand to clean it. Unexpectedly, Xiao Qiuyuan, who had the same idea as him, also moved towards the tableware. Stretching out his hand, the two touched fingers, Zhou Shangli quickly retracted, and said with a sneer, "Boss Xiao is very considerate in his service, and even tidy up the tableware."

"Who told you to be bitten by a snake because of me?" Xiao Qiuyuan packed the tableware, put them in a garbage bag, and walked towards the door with them.

Zhou Shangli stood up, before Xiao Qiuyuan opened the door, he turned his head and asked, "Are you going to work tomorrow?"

"Yeah." Zhou Shangli was looking at Xiao Qiuyuan from the back from bottom to top. His straight long legs were wrapped in loose pants, and the originally fitting T-shirt became fat due to thinness. Compared with two months ago, The broad and straight back is slightly hunched because of the protrusion of the shoulder blades, the hair on the back of the head exposed under the black baseball cap is very short, and the white scalp is clearly visible.

Xiao Qiuyuan asked: "Then are your legs comfortable?"

Just as Zhou Shangli wanted to say it was convenient, when he saw Xiao Qiuyuan's lonely eyes, he immediately felt pity, regardless of whether it was because of Mrs. Xiao's relationship that made Xiao Qiuyuan tired and painful, but at this moment, Zhou Shangli was not trying to keep Xiao Qiuyuan as a secret lover, Instead, he wanted to accompany Xiao Qiuyuan as a friend. He said, "Driving is not allowed. Why don't you stay tonight and drive me to the store tomorrow morning?"

Xiao Qiuyuan hesitated, as if he was thinking about it, but his acting skills were terrible. Although his brows were slightly wrinkled, the smile on his mouth betrayed him. He asked a bad question to get Zhou Shangli's firm retention, "What about the trash?"

"Throw it at the door and take it away tomorrow morning." Zhou Shangli spread his hands, expressing that this matter is easy to resolve.

Sure enough, Xiao Qiuyuan immediately put down the garbage, "Okay." Then he walked back and smiled happily: "I'll cook breakfast tomorrow morning, what do you want?"

"I'll eat whatever the chef cooks." Zhou Shangli also smiled, sat down, it was still early to watch the time, and asked, "Watching TV or playing games?"

"Watch TV, watch happy comedians." Xiao Qiuyuan sat on the sofa on the other side, "I like watching happy twists."

Zhou Shangli turned on the TV with the remote control, found out the program, and patted the sofa beside him: "Sit over here? Those who twist their necks and squint their eyes over there are not good for the cervical spine."

Xiao Qiuyuan sat down as he said, staring at the TV intently, and even made standard movements—supporting his knees with his elbows and his chin with his palms, like a child waiting for a miracle.

Zhou Shangli found that Xiao Qiuyuan's smile was very low, obviously it was some old meme, he still giggled when he saw it, his whole body trembled when he smiled, his eyes narrowed into a slit, and when he was excited, he even made gestures of waving his hands and kicking his legs , Zhou Shangli was not amused by the sketch, but was amused by his behavior.

"Get ready, Happy Twist is here." Seeing the actor he likes appear on the stage, Xiao Qiuyuan rubbed his hands, sat upright, and kept his image for less than a minute. When the show started, he bent down again. The actor didn't say a word, and he was already laughing opened.

Zhou Shangli gently rubbed his knee with one hand, leaned against the sofa, and stared at the back of Xiao Qiuyuan's head. He really wanted to take off his hat for Xiao Qiuyuan, but he was afraid that Xiao Qiuyuan would get angry, no matter if it was out of selfishness or kindness. Xiao Qiuyuan was the last thing he wanted to do.

"Boss Zhou, why don't you laugh? Don't you want to watch this? Let's change it." Xiao Qiuyuan saw whether Zhou Shangli would be foolishly having fun with him, so he thought that Zhou Shangli would like to watch it. Change the show.

Zhou Shangli hurriedly said: "I laughed because you were too involved and didn't hear my laughter. It's okay, it's good. I like this to relieve stress."

Xiao Qiuyuan put down the remote control, leaned back against the sofa, and watched the TV from the same angle as Zhou Shangli. He persisted for a while, then slid down and stretched out like a muscleless one, but he didn't laugh any more, and just stared blankly at the TV. television.

Zhou Shangli called him tentatively: "Boss Xiao, what's wrong?"

Xiao Qiuyuan said indifferently: "I'm tired."

"Then sleep?"

Xiao Qiuyuan shook his head, Zhou Shangli looked at his pale pink lips under the bridge of his nose, feeling a little uncomfortable, especially when he spoke, his lips opened and closed, as if... as if waiting for him to kiss him .

Zhou Shangli also slid down from his body, half spread out, and bumped his elbow into Xiao Qiuyuan, "Hey, this is funny, haha, this stalk is not bad."

Xiao Qiuyuan finally laughed, like a broken gate valve, he couldn't stop laughing, his whole body curled up, his body trembled, but he didn't make a sound, as if he had lost his breath from laughing, Zhou Shangli saw that something was wrong with him, and wanted to reach out He patted him, but before he stretched out his hand, he turned upside down, with his head resting heavily on Zhou Shangli's shoulders, and the laughter continued.

"Boss Xiao? Heh, is it so funny?" Zhou Shangli observed his expression and saw tears from his laughing down the corners of his eyes and intruding into his clothes.

Zhou Shangli was about to draw a paper and hand it to him, but he didn't think of himself as an outsider at all. He rubbed his face on Zhou Shangli's shoulder twice, and wiped all his tears on Zhou Shangli's clothes, and the thin T-shirt was immediately soaked , Zhou Shangli felt a kind of coldness, which was in contrast to his scalding body temperature.

Zhou Shangli was going to do nothing, just sit quietly with Xiao Qiuyuan, let him laugh or cry, give him his shoulders and arms.

Xiao Qiuyuan leaned on Zhou Shangli's shoulder and moved with a smile, gradually calmed down, and when there was no movement at all, he was already asleep.

Zhou Shangli turned off the TV, tentatively adjusted his posture, carefully observed Xiao Qiuyuan, for fear of waking him up, and adjusted to a comfortable posture, Zhou Shangli consciously recalled the actions just now, and laughed at himself like a parent who tricked a child into sleeping, For fear of waking up the 'children'.

He kept his neck straight for a while, and felt that the entire cervical spine was stiff. Zhou Shangli slowly lowered his head, and when he was about to touch Xiao Qiuyuan's head, he looked at it worriedly for a while, and saw that Xiao Qiuyuan was indeed in a deep sleep. Only then did he rest his head firmly on Xiao Qiuyuan's and close his eyes.
