Stand-in Raiders

That day, when he heard Li Yunian's proposal, Xiao Ping didn't immediately agree. Their previous relationship was said to be lovers, but it was just a step further than friends, but compared with ordinary lovers, they didn't seem to have the kind of intimacy that said everything.

From the beginning of their acquaintance, they consciously avoided in the conversation, and later they got together, and never interfered with each other's life too much. Xiao Ping was very satisfied with the current situation and was unwilling to destroy it. However, after hearing Li Yunian's love for him He was reluctant to refuse the invitation.

Li Yunian regretted it as soon as he said it, the place where he lived did not match the feeling Xiao Ping gave him at all.In his impression, Xiao Ping was born to live in a big house, with food and clothing served by others, and he never had to worry about making a living. If it weren't for that An accident, there will never be an intersection in a lifetime.Many years later, Xiao Ping knew that he once had such an idea, and he just laughed without saying a word. No matter what the difference in status is, as long as my eyes see you, then you will definitely get such an ending.

In the end, Xiao Ping and Li Yunian braved the wind and rain and ran downstairs to the dormitory where Li Yunian lived.

In a very old building, not to mention the dirty stairs, the lights in the corridors are also dim and dim, not to mention that they can't play the role of lighting, and it makes the corridors even more gloomy.This is the first time for Xiao Ping to come to this kind of place.

Li Yunian felt Xiao Ping's faint dislike, and smiled at him with a face-blind flattery, "This is the dormitory assigned to me by the company. It is definitely not as good as the place you live in, but at least I can stay." The old-fashioned apartment has no The elevator and the stairs are tall and long. Li Yunian lives on the top floor, so it is still tiring to climb up.

When the two of them finally stood in front of the dormitory, Li Yunian was already out of breath. Even if he climbed the stairs like this every day, he was still physically weak, which was from childhood.On the other hand, Xiao Ping didn't blush or pant, he looked completely at ease, which made Li Yunian jealous for a while.

"I opened the door," Li Yunian took out the key from his trouser pocket, a little unsure if he did it correctly, "It's a bit messy inside, you, just don't mind."

Xiao Ping nodded casually, Li Yunian seemed to be a clean person, no matter how messy the house was, it would not be unacceptable to him.However, when the door opened and a strange aura rushed over, he couldn't help but take a step back.

Looking in from the opened door, the small living room has piled up a lot of clothes, even a lot of socks, instant noodles, takeaway boxes, and pickle bags on the small table, all of which are left open, exuding sour smell. odor.The doors of several rooms are closed, and it can be seen that they are all inhabited.

"You, here?" Xiao Ping looked at Li Yunian, a little unbelievable that he lived in such an environment!Xiao Ping said in his heart what it would be like not to eat.

"You, you wait..." Li Yunian turned around and cleared a path leading to his room, and said to Xiao Ping with some desperation, "Come directly to my room."

Xiao Ping successfully entered Li Yunian's room by following the small path that Li Yunian had packed up, which was just right for him to stay. Compared with the outside, this place is completely heaven.

In a room with only a few square meters, the quilt was neatly pulled up and placed on the head of the bed. There was a glass water cup on the small cabinet next to the bed. There was a wardrobe in the other corner of the room. Although it was old, it was wiped clean.After looking at the room completely, Xiao Ping nodded secretly satisfied.

Although most men are somewhat sloppy, Xiao Ping is just the opposite. He has a slight obsession with cleanliness since he was a child and lived in a tidy environment.Although Li Yunian has no obsession with cleanliness, since he was a child in the orphanage, he couldn't get enough to eat or wear warm clothes, and his clothes were worn out. He could only make himself as clean as possible.Therefore, he also tried his best in this small room to make himself live a little cleaner.

Xiao Ping sat on Li Yunian's bed, and Li Yunian nervously poured him a cup of hot water from the kettle at the door, "I only have hot water here, drink some, or you'll be sick if you catch a cold." In fact, take a bath It is the best, but there is no separate bathroom in this old apartment, and he no longer has the courage to let Xiao Ping step into the public bathroom on each floor.

Xiao Ping took the water and looked through the half-opened window. Could there be a night car passing by on the road illuminated by street lights?He knew that Li Yunian was the kind of person who lived at the bottom of the city, but he never thought that such a life would be so difficult. He remembered that every time Li Yunian appeared in front of him, he looked like a clean, relaxed and vigorous young man.

That night, the two of them lay on Li Yunian's single bed, nothing happened.Except for the necessary physical contact between two big men sleeping together, Xiao Ping and Li Yunian were both very restrained throughout the night, and their movements were very subtle when they fell asleep.

When Li Yunian got up and saw Xiao Ping fell asleep, he frowned slightly, and couldn't help feeling guilty in his heart.Yesterday, he must have not had a good rest. Perhaps it was really wronging him to let him sleep in such a place.However, as long as he thinks that Xiao Ping is willing to stay in such a dilapidated house for him, Li Yunian can't help being happy.

He took the toiletries and walked to the public sink, Li Yunian couldn't help shivering due to the cold breath, and then he started to think about himself.

After the late autumn rain, it was really cold to the marrow, and it was time to add more clothes, but this month's salary had not yet arrived, and he had no spare money to buy winter clothes at all. Last year's clothes were a bit worn out because they had been worn for several years, and they had already been worn by him. It was left to the children in the orphanage, and now it may have been changed into small pieces by Li's mother, and now he has no winter clothes at all.

Xiao Ping didn't sleep well, and he woke up when Li Yunian returned to the room, "You're already up, I overslept." He saw that Li Yunian had finished washing, raised his hand, looked at his watch and put it down again.

"Today is Saturday. If you are tired, you can sleep more." Li Yunian put the towel on the hanger to dry, then turned around and poured Xiao Ping a glass of warm water, "Drink some water."

Xiao Ping took the water glass and didn't drink it. Instead, he put the water glass on the bedside cabinet and got up to put on his shoes. "I won't sleep when I wake up. Take me to the bathroom. I have to wash up." Last night He fell asleep before he knew it, and even forgot to take a shower. It was almost a miracle for him to be able to hold back the whole night. Now he can't wait to put himself in the water and bubble vigorously to remove the dirt all over his body.

"We have a public bathroom here, you may not be used to it, why don't I fetch water for you to wash." Li Yunian politely rejected Xiao Ping's words, but Xiao Ping raised his hand to stop it.

"No matter how messy you are, you can go and I can't go? What do you think of me?" Xiao Ping was a little funny. Even if he was a little bit obsessed with cleanliness, he couldn't stop eating the world's grains because of his obsession with cleanliness. Since he still eats grains You can't escape the problem of going to the toilet.

"Okay, I'll take you there, but don't be too disgusted." Li Yunian obviously thought of this, and finally nodded and led Xiao Ping.

Holding his breath, and coming out of the public toilet, Xiao Ping let out a deep breath, "Do you usually live in this kind of place?"

Li Yunian followed behind, a little at a loss.In front of Xiao Ping, he always wanted to show his best side, but today, everything is hidden, his life is actually so unbearable.

"Pack up your things." Back in the room, Xiao Ping sat back on the bed, looked at Li Yunian who was standing sideways at the door, he still spoke after holding back his words for a long time.

"What are you packing? You didn't bring anything with you." Li Yunian, who was out of state, raised his head for some reason. He stood at the door just to block Xiao Ping's view of the outside. A few strands of unkempt hair drooped on his forehead, which made the His face was unusually fair.

"I'll let you pack your things," Xiao Ping gritted his teeth when he said this. Originally, he didn't have this plan, but after seeing this person's daily life, the sour feeling in his heart was no longer there. Unable to restrain himself from venting out, he never knew that there were people living in such a place in the world, and this person was still his lover.

"Pack up?" Li Yunian still didn't understand after he realized it, "What are you doing when you pack up? I, I packed up."

Xiao Ping was a little annoyed, usually he is not such a dull person, why is he so stupid today?

"What else can you do? Move, this is not a place for people to live at all." Xiao Ping took a sip of water from the water glass, suppressing the nausea in his throat, "Pack up your things, I'll help you move later."

"Moving?" Li Yunian was completely taken aback. Last month's salary was less than 400 yuan, and this month's salary was about 12 days away. He had no money to rent a better house.

Seeing that Li Yunian still didn't move, Xiao Ping stood up by himself and opened the wardrobe in the corner.There are not many things inside. The bottom is a small suitcase. Judging by the color, it should be bought not long ago, and the number of times of use is not much. The warm clothes stacked on the middle cabinet are not too thick. Look, the coats hanging above are also autumn clothes, not to mention a decent winter coat, not even a scarf.

"Forget it, don't pack these clothes, just go." Xiao Ping looked around the room and found that there was nothing worth taking away, so he directly pulled Li Yunian and planned to leave.

"Wait... where are you going?" Li Yunian followed behind and closed the door with one hand, "Xiao Ping, slow down."

Xiao Ping took Li Yunian directly downstairs and stopped by the side of the road.

"Xiao Ping, what's the matter with you today?" Li Yunian stood still, "You're not quite right today." In fact, since Xiao Ping saw the place where he lived last night, he was already a little abnormal, but both of them were pretending everything is fine.

"Li Yunian, you, come and live with me." The first time Xiao Ping made such an invitation to Li Yunian was when they had known each other for three months and dated for less than a month.

"What did you say?" Li Yunian couldn't believe it, and doubted his ears.He knew that Xiao Ping was the director of a large company, but he never felt that there was anything wrong with it, nor did he think about what he would get from him when he interacted with him, and he never even complained about his unsatisfactory life as he did. .However, he didn't expect that it was just a mistake, and Xiao Ping actually made such a request to him.

"Can you do housework?" Xiao Ping asked, "Can you cook?"

Although he didn't know why Xiao Ping asked this question, Li Yunian nodded seriously, "Yes."

Although Xiao Ping already knew it, he was a little surprised to see Li Yunian nodding his head. It is rare for a boy who has just graduated from university to be able to do housework, and it is even rarer to see someone who can cook!

"Since you can do it, come and help me. I just have a spare room in my house." Although he has used it as a study, the original single bed is still there, and he just needs to move it to the bed. Just pack up the files and take them away.As for the clothes and bedding that Li Yunian needs, he can just go and buy them when the time comes.

Xiao Ping's idea is very good. Even if his monthly salary is not much, but before the season changes, the family servants will send the clothes of the season, and the mother of the family will call him privately every month because he is afraid that he will not live well outside. A sum of money, and he also saved a sum of money before joining the company. Although he lives in the dormitory allocated by the company, his quality of life is still very high.

"It's not very good, it's not that I can't live here." At worst, you won't come here in the future.Li Yunian was a little embarrassed, he knew that the place he lived in was indeed not good, and he had never thought of bringing Xiao Ping here, he only opened his mouth yesterday on impulse.

"What's so good? Do you want to continue to live here? I won't charge you rent, besides, your company should give you housing subsidies after you move out?" Seeing Li Yunian's sideways bowing his head, Xiao Ping I couldn't help but slow down my voice, stepped forward and hugged him halfway, persuading him, "Think about it, we live together, and we can buy and cook meals together, isn't it more convenient than being alone?"

Xiao Ping said it so eloquently that Li Yunian almost believed it.

However, in the end Li Yunian still rejected this proposal.
