Forget about the past

When they arrived at the supermarket, Xu Chen pushed the cart to the front, and Chang Ge followed leisurely, looking at the curly hair on his head with a smile in his eyes.

Xu Chen chose a few side dishes that he was good at and threw them in, and thought he should make some meat dishes. He picked up a bag of quick-frozen shrimp, and turned to Changge and asked, "Are you allergic to seafood?"

Changge shook his head and said, "You can choose, I can do it."

Xu Chen nodded and threw the quick-frozen shrimp into the cart, and chose another piece of beef.

"Hmm..." I really didn't know what to choose, so I had to ask Chang Ge for help: "Do you have anything you like to eat?"

Changge thought for a while, Xu Chen looked up at him expectantly, and then shook his head affirmatively when he saw him: "No."

He really doesn't have too high aspirations for food, and he added: "I should like everything you make."

Xu Chen was stunned, and stared at the other party blankly, his ears turned red immediately, as if he was frightened.

Changge laughed, shook his hand in front of him, and said, "Go and pay the bill."

"Oh, oh, good." Xu Chen rubbed his hot ears and walked to the front quickly.

When Xu Chen was about to pay the bill, Changge had already handed the card to the cashier, and Xu Chen glared at him.

Changge picked up the packed things and comforted him: "Don't think too much, you are still a student, and I am going to treat you to this meal. Let's go back, be good."

Xu Chen glared at him several times before reluctantly following him.

Seeing that someone was too slow, Changge couldn't help but took a few steps back, grabbed his wrist, and gently tugged: "Okay, don't lose your temper."

Xu Chen moaned and felt uncomfortable, but at the same time felt shy because of the temperature of his wrist that he suddenly held. Pulling his wrist, this is really... so gentlemanly!

Xu Chen had been busy in the kitchen ping pong pong for a long time, and had to endure Chang Ge leaning against the kitchen door, casting questioning glances at him from time to time.

Xu Chen pretended not to see it and continued to endure the humiliation. Finally, he looked at the black unknown object in the pot and wanted to cry without tears. He turned his head to look at Changge, trying to save a little face for the Haikou he had praised: "That...skill cooling It's been too long, the skills are rusty... But it was an accident, really, an accident..."

The tone gradually weakened, but there was an unconcealable smile on Changge's face, and Xu Chen looked at his toes with a guilty conscience and reflected.

Changge sighed, sent Xu Chen to the kitchen door, and patted his head lightly: "Forget it, I'll do it."

Xu Chen stood at the door peacefully and aggrievedly watching. He watched Changge carefully unbutton the buttons and roll up the sleeves, revealing his delicate wrist and a small part of his arm. He poured out the contents of the pot, and then Clean kitchen utensils.

The movement of handling beef is quite skilled, and it is very pleasing to the eye because of the good-looking hands. Xu Chen was impressed by his knife skills, and asked, "Chang Ge, how long have you been learning this?"

Changge bent his lips in a good mood, and replied softly, "It's been many years."

But what he was waiting for was just this day, or every day when he could cook a table of delicious dishes for his sweetheart and then look at him with a satisfied smile.

When the last dish was about to start cooking, Chang Ge softly ordered: "Xu Chen, go and take out the bowls and chopsticks."

Xu Chen nodded obediently, filled the rice again, and sat at the dining table in an orderly manner, looking at the table full of steaming delicacies.

Changge brought out the last fish-flavored shredded pork, closed the kitchen door, and said softly, "You can eat it."

Xu Chen couldn't wait to extend his chopsticks to the stewed prawns, which were full of color and fragrance. So far, he was completely in admiration of Changge.

Xu Chen said with emotion: "Changge, let me tell you, why are you like this..." He thought about the adjectives carefully, and clapped his hands together: "Perfect, yes, perfect, it is said that no one is perfect, but let me put it on you." How could it become a false proposition?"

"Perfect?" Changge raised his eyebrows in surprise, shook his head with a smile, and denied, "That's just the surface, you don't know how cowardly I used to be."

Xu Chen looked at him in surprise, he really couldn't imagine this word being applied to him, he just felt that it was out of place.

"I..." Changge considered the words, and decided to express more cryptically: "I used to like someone very much, and I didn't dare to confess, or even approach him."

Xu Chen stared at him blankly, not knowing why a sudden sourness arose in his heart, which then brewed into disappointment, that person... could not be him.

"How can you be willing to do something like cooking? I'm afraid there are not a few people who are willing to cook for you."

Xu Chen absently poked the rice grains in the bowl with his chopsticks, so did he learn to cook for that person?Thinking of this, Xu Chen bit his lips in annoyance.

Changge knew that he was wrong, but he didn't want to correct it. Now is not the time, and it also just shows that he already has some place in his heart.

Changge was very happy. He lowered his eyes and said slowly, "Because of that person..."

Xu Chen looked up at him, under the warm light, his face was softer than ever before, as if all the hard shells had been removed, like a newborn.

With a gentle and slow tone, Xu Chen heard him say: "Because I think that one day that person will be surprised or smile because of these things, I am willing to do even complicated things. Or, if one day I can be with that person When we get together, he will like me a little more because of these things, and he will be even more reluctant to leave me."

"Or, after leaving, you can still think of me, and you will think 'ah, why did you leave him at that time, obviously he cooks so delicious'."

At the end, Chang Ge stared at Xu Chen for a long time, but Xu Chen felt that he seemed to be imagining the appearance of another person, and it took him a long time to lower his head to avoid his sight, and said in a low voice: "It's okay to be liked by you so much." Really lucky."

Changge smiled meaningfully, and said softly, "I hope he can think the same way."

Xu Chen wanted to go back to school after dinner, so Changge sent him back.Xu Chen was a little depressed, he couldn't figure out what to do, so he just fell asleep.

When he got up again, he saw the head of the office packing his luggage, Xu Chen rubbed his eyes and yawned, and asked, "What are you doing?"

The head of the room asked without looking back: "Are you sleeping stupidly? Go home during the National Day holiday."

Xu Chen was stunned for a long time, and suddenly found something in horror, fell back on the bed in extreme pain, hugged the quilt and rolled around mournfully.

The head of the room thought of something and asked: "You said you slept from yesterday afternoon to this afternoon, did you buy a ticket?"

"No..." Xu Chen wanted to strangle himself to death.

The head of the room looked very regretful and said, "Oh, then I wish you a happy time in the dormitory during the seven days of the National Day."

"roll!"

Xu Chen called his mother with a guilty conscience: "Hey, Mom..."

Mom responded and asked with concern: "You should be in the car by now, how long will it be?"

"I... I forgot to buy a ticket, and it should be impossible to buy a ticket at this time." Xu Chen lay in a corpse-like state, gasping like a silk.

"Damn boy, why don't you have a long memory when you grow up so big!" Mom yelled, Xu Chen shrank his neck in fright and didn't dare to speak, and waited for the breath to calm down: "Forget it, anyway, your dad has nothing to do , I told him to drive you there."

"Mom," Xu Chen called her helplessly, "You treat me like I'm still in high school. It takes at least a day and a night to drive one way, so don't bother Dad."

"Then are you planning to come back?" Mom said that her mood was not bright at all.

"I'll figure it out on my own. I'll definitely be able to go back. Don't worry." Xu Chen had no choice but to coax his mother, and it took a long time before his mother hung up the phone unhappy.

Xu Chen went to ask his classmates in the same city if they had more tickets, and then went to the station to ask if there were any refunds, but they all failed.

Xu Chen lowered his head in frustration, just in time for Changge to call, who asked gently: "Xu Chen, when are you going to go home?"

"I..." Xu Chen pulled his hair vigorously twice, and said, "I planned to go back today, but I didn't get a ticket."

Changge felt that this person seemed to be unable to do anything without him, and his heart softened, so he smiled: "It's okay, I'll take you home."

Time was frozen, Xu Chen heard the sound of his own breathing and the sound of the wind whizzing past his ears, he could barely make out his voice, and muttered, "It's not good to drive tired... I'd better see if there is any Scalper tickets."

"Xu Chen," Changge called his name very seriously, and said very justly: "Don't contribute to the evil trends in society."

Xu Chen wanted to refute, but seeing the police coming, the scalper jumped up and ran away, and could only sigh weakly: "Then... I can only trouble you."

"Well, I'm very happy." Changge nodded and asked, "Which station are you at?" Xu Chen reported the address before he continued, "You wait for me at the traffic light."

"Okay." Xu Chen agreed, and obediently dragged the box to the place he said to wait.

It's already the end of summer, but today it's surprisingly sweltering, cicadas are singing weakly on the trees, and even the road is scalding hot.

When Changge drove there, he saw a handsome boy squatting on the side of the road with his face in his hands from a distance, with an oversized suitcase standing behind him.

Changge put down the car window, stretched out half of his head to call him: "Xu Chen, get in the car."

Xu Chen immediately put the luggage into the trunk, and then consciously got into the co-pilot. Changge saw the glistening beads of sweat on his forehead, pulled a few tissues and handed them to him, and thoughtfully opened the air conditioner.

Xu Chen thanked him, then collapsed on the seat and remained motionless.

Changge glanced at him and frowned slightly: "Seat belt."

Xu Chen repeatedly nodded and followed suit, Changge nodded in satisfaction, then stepped on the accelerator, and couldn't help asking: "Just now, why were you squatting there? Pretending to be mushrooms?"

Xu Chen was amused by his expressionless face telling jokes, and shook the mobile phone in his hand with a smile: "The battery is dead, it's boring."

Changge really felt that he could only because of this reason, and said helplessly: "It takes a day to get to your house from here, are you going to spend it by playing with your fingers?"

"I can sleep!" Xu Chen looked innocent.

Changge felt that he was really defeated by him, and said: "There is no power bank in the car, you can take out my mobile phone and play with it."

Xu Chen nodded and asked excitedly, "Where is the phone?"

"It's in my trouser pocket. Feel it yourself. I don't have any free hands now." Changge looked straight ahead, pretending to be calm, and his Adam's apple slipped slowly while speaking.

Xu Chen didn't suspect him, so he reached out to touch him, but couldn't find him, so he raised his face and looked at Changge pitifully.

Changge was already a little distracted, and he still had to distract himself to answer him: "On the other side."

Xu Chen finally touched it and held it excitedly, only to find that there was no game in this Mensao phone. Changge caught a glimpse of his frown and smiled: "You download it."

Xu Chen entered a sticky world and couldn't get past the end of the game. He was so anxious that he scratched his head and almost jumped up and down with his elder brother. Changge turned to look at him, thinking how cute he was.

"Changge, can I drop your phone?" Sheng Wuke said with a face.

"No."

"Oh……"

Xu Chen leaned back in the chair with a dead body in despair, and then uninstalled the game in grief and indignation.

Seeing that he was really bored, Chang Ge suggested, "You can check out my gallery, the password is 2244."

Xu Chen blinked, thinking that he had nothing to do anyway, so he clicked in and entered the password. There were a lot of landscape photos in it, and the material and composition were very detailed. Xu Chen whispered praises while scrolling down one by one.

He didn't realize it was the last one until he couldn't turn it over. Xu Chen vaguely recognized that it was his alma mater. The subject of the photo was a painting hanging on an easel. Among them was a forest. The sky was peaceful and distant, and the forest was silent. , and the meandering river flowing through it, even the sparkling waves on the river surface are portrayed very vividly.

Xu Chen paused for a long time. He seemed to have this painting in his memory, but he couldn't remember it. He withdrew. It was the only photo of that year, and it was in 2006.

"Changge..." Xu Chen raised his eyes and asked, "What were you doing in 2006?"

Changge thought for a while, and answered seriously: "Senior year, a year of chaos."

Xu Chen pursed his lips and didn't speak any more. He closed his eyes. Where did he find such idle time during the year of war and chaos? Why did he stop and take such a photo?Maybe the person he said was the owner of this painting.

As for himself, Xu Chen heard a voice rang clearly, should he give up again?What should I be to him?

No one answered the voice, because even he himself chose to be silent.
