between friendship and love

The two of them didn't want to eat anymore after drinking, and the pot of rice was as if it had just been cooked and hadn't been touched at all.The outside of the house is very lively, with firecrackers, fireworks, the sound of the Spring Festival Gala on the TV, and the laughter of the children, all of which are isolated from the outside of the house like the cold air, and cannot penetrate at all.

Qi Tian seemed to be drunk, Yang Lin helped him to the sofa, turned on the TV, found tea and a thermos bottle with ease, and made him a cup of very strong tea.Qi Tianban lay on the sofa, watching the man clean up the dishes, wipe the table, wash the dishes, and mop up the kitchen floor.

He was wearing a gray turtleneck sweater, his hair was neither short nor long, he was tall, and he did things very neatly. He vaguely remembered that many years ago, that lazy kid who was so lazy that he only played and slept. , ran to his house every day to eat, and the clothes were too dirty for fear of being scolded by his mother, so he took them off and asked him to wash them.

How did it change?

Oh, by the way, after his car accident.Xiao Lin told him to go out to play football, and he ran down in a hurry, and didn't pay attention to the motorcycle when crossing the road, and was run over by the wheel on his right leg.At that time, he was in great pain, and he still noticed that Xiaolin was so frightened that even the football in his hand fell to the ground.

He stayed in the hospital for half a month, and Yang Lin would run out every day with his schoolbag on his back, holding a thermos in his arms, sometimes it contained chicken soup, sometimes it was stewed pig's feet, and sometimes it was ribs soup.Before that, his family already had signs of separation, and because of his accident, this separation was exacerbated, and his mother finally ran away with another man the day after he was discharged from the hospital.

His father couldn't bear this kind of blow, and drank his sorrows all day long, and it was rare for him to be sober, let alone take care of him.

At that time, it was Yang Lin who came to change his dressing every day, help him bathe, clean up, deliver food and drinks, and help him with his homework.

He ran over almost whenever he was free, and he was extremely diligent in serving him every day.

Even so, his leg still couldn't be healed, and he became disabled and limped when he walked.Yang Lin basically regarded this incident as his own responsibility. From the time when the accident happened at the age of 13 to the five years before he went to university, he never stopped helping.He was originally lazy and stubborn, but over the years, he has changed a lot because of him.

Thinking of these, Qi Tian couldn't help feeling warm in his heart.On every New Year's Eve, my father didn't know where to go to have fun. He thought he was the only one alone, but Yang Lin came to accompany him intermittently every year. He didn't know how to thank him.So he never regarded it as Xiaolin's fault that happened back then.

Maybe because of my personality, I always feel that this is fate.Even if the accident did not happen, my mother would still run away, and my father would be fired from the company because he drank too much every day and failed to work hard, and then he would become addicted to gambling. It won't be much better than it is now.

He covered his eyes, suddenly grateful for the car accident.

If it wasn't for that matter, maybe Xiao Lin, a friend, would leave him too, and wouldn't care about him so much, wouldn't be so gentle with him.In this case, he is only one person from beginning to end.

To him, being alone is worse than being lame.

The eyes seemed to be covered with a layer of mist, and the figure in the blur poured another cup of tea, walked towards him slowly, sat beside him, stretched out a warm palm, and stroked his forehead, his voice was also very gentle, "Is it uncomfortable? I'm sorry, I shouldn't let you drink so much."

Qi Tian shook his head, "It's okay, I want to drink it myself. I usually don't have the opportunity to drink with others, so I drank a little more unconsciously." He took a sip of the tea that Yang Lin made for him, it tasted strong With a bitter taste, people slowly wake up. "What time do you go to work?"

"Eighth day."

"Then when did you go?"

"It looks like the sixth day, and there are a few colleagues who need to go to the New Year's Eve to get together."

"Ah, as expected, Xiaolin is still so good at getting along with people." Qi Tian smiled, staring at the TV screen, "I'm going to pay New Year's greetings tomorrow, too."

Yang Lin was a little helpless, "I'm going to my grandparents' house, my aunt and the others will come back, and they will definitely be talked about by then. Work, girlfriend, marriage..."

Qi Tian looked at his appearance and said with a smile: "You are content, I think someone has asked and no one has asked." His father is the only son, after the death of his grandparents, plus his mother's affairs, there are basically no relatives. .

Yang Lin looked at him, confirmed that there was no sentimentality in his tone, he was just joking, and heaved a sigh of relief, "This is also very good. I think I can be free on the fifth day of the new year, let's go out and have fun."

"Huh? Where are you going?"

"Where do you want to go?"

"I don't know either." Qi Tian tried hard to think about the nearby places to play, and thought for a while, "Lily Park? I heard that you can take a boat there, and there are many people setting off fireworks at night."

His face was a little red, and his eyes were shining with joy.That park is actually not far from here, but he has never been to it before. It is strange to go alone, but there has never been another person who is willing to accompany him.

Although Yang Lin would come to him when he came back, he might also be thinking about his inconvenient legs, and he never suggested going outside.The two always cook some dishes, have a simple meal, drink some wine and chat.

Even this is very good, and Qi Tian feels satisfied from the bottom of his heart.His proposal this time, to him, was a pleasant surprise.

Yang Lin didn't expect that this proposal would make him so happy, and he regretted that he didn't have this idea before.

"Leave in the morning? Ah, it's too cold in the morning, maybe you got up late, so let's go after lunch." Qi Tian began to plan, "If you want to watch the fireworks, you have to stay until dinner time, right? I don't know if there are any restaurants nearby that are still open, if you bring food, it will be cold and not tasty."

"Let me prepare and call you when the time comes."

"Okay." Qi Tian looked at the clock, it was already ten twenty, "Are you going back?" He lowered his head in embarrassment, "I really don't know how to thank you for being with me every year so late."

Holding the teacup tightly, Yang Lin stared at the ground. The tiles were milky white and very clean. There seemed to be an invisible point there that attracted his attention.The heart was full, beating every now and then, as if encouraging him to speak. "You're welcome, Xiao Tian..."

He didn't continue for a long time, Qi Tian replied blankly, looking at his profile.

The man was still looking at the ground, the water in the teacup was shaking slightly, and the turbulent heat slowly died down, "My mind still hasn't changed..." The man finally turned his head and stared into his eyes, "Your answer?"
