"vegetative" entangled

Qunchun slept until after seven o'clock in the evening.

Cheng Ye never woke him up, but silently put the steamed rice back on the stove, and put away the washed vegetables one by one, waiting for Qunchun to wake up before cooking.

He opened the door quietly, and as soon as he lifted the curtains to ventilate, Qunchun moved on the bed a few times, then opened his eyes and woke up.

"Are you awake? Sit for a while and put on your clothes later, so you don't get cold." Cheng Ye said while taking the sweater and down jacket from the hanger to the bed and putting them on the quilt.

Qunchun, who had just woken up, had fluffy and disheveled hair, and his eyes were still squinted. He yawned and said "um" in a nasal voice, which was very nasal.

Cheng Ye poured warm water for him, handed it to his mouth to feed him, Qun Chun took a sip, and immediately felt the dryness and hoarseness in his throat cleared away.

He rubbed his eyes and said, "Cheng Ye, I think I'm like the group of those who eat and sleep at the back mountain, and eat when they wake up..."

Cheng Ye was amused by him, and rubbed Qunchun's hair, making his hair more messy.

Then she reached out to help him straighten his collar and the hair on his cheek.

"I'll take care of you." Cheng Ye stared at him, then lowered his head and kissed the corner of his eyes, "I'll cook, and I'll call you when I'm done."

Qunchun puffed up her cheeks, thinking, tonight's meal and the next two days' meal will be light.

Sure enough, Cheng Ye made his dinner light, a big bowl of yellow and white steamed egg custard, stewed chicken soup with goji berries, red dates and longan, stewed chicken with chestnuts, steamed grass carp, and stir-fried lettuce.

Qunchun obediently scooped up two spoonfuls of egg custard and mixed it into the rice. The egg custard was bland and the bibimbap was not very tasty.

Ah, there is no stimulating hot and sour. The steamed grass carp is just a light soy sauce doused. You can only eat tender and smooth meat without stimulating strong hot and sour.

Qunchun silently ate the rice, and unceremoniously ate the chicken leg meat, tender fish meat, and custard that Cheng Ye gave him. Because the taste was not satisfied, Qunchun, who could only satisfy his empty stomach through quantity, ate again. After eating two bowls of rice, I also drank a whole bowl of chicken soup with wolfberry, red dates and longan.

Cheng Ye had already eaten, and kept quietly pretending to pick up the fishbone to eat meat, in fact, he was afraid that Qunchun would feel embarrassed to continue eating when he saw that he was full.

Seeing that Qunchun had finished eating, he piled all the fishbones on the plate and prepared to clean up the dishes.

Qunchun also got up to help clean up. He took the initiative to wash the dishes and was very determined. Cheng Ye had no choice but to back out and let him do the dishes, but he didn't leave. He speaks.

"This afternoon... I saw the two little things in your stomach grow up again." Cheng Ye had already begun to doubt and guess in his heart.

"Ah? Really? I don't feel much." Qunchun brushed the bowl with a loofah sac. He often touched it and looked at it from time to time. In fact, he didn't have a particularly obvious feeling for the changes in small things.

And when Cheng Ye lifted his clothes this afternoon, he caught a glimpse of the cherry-sized ball that seemed to be a little bigger, and now it is as big as a small sugar orange.

Qunchun had a good appetite, and the little ball was growing up day by day, and he thought that it might really be the flower bud of the dodder, absorbing the nourishment from Qunchun's body and growing continuously.

Thinking that Qunchun's belly might bloom, Cheng Ye couldn't help laughing.

Qunchun didn't feel anything, he was also thinking, what exactly is this little ball, is it also his evolved weapon?

After washing the dishes and chopsticks, Qunchun was sitting on a chair when he caught a glimpse of the mobile phone on the table and realized that he hadn't looked at his mobile phone all day today.

There are no unread messages on WeChat, but there are several unread emails in the mailbox. He has not logged into his mailbox to check emails for a while, because he has gradually lost the information of his previous contacts.

He clicked into the mailbox, and found that the senders of the two emails were both Shi Yu!

Why!After returning home, I forgot the possibility that Shi Yu would send him an email!Because Shi Yu's mobile phone was lost, he could only contact others through the computer, so he couldn't apply to add Qunchun's WeChat friends.

A few days ago, he was anxiously waiting for Shi Yulai to apply to add him as a friend on WeChat, but he didn't think too much.

He quickly read the text of the email, the first email Shi Yu greeted him and Cheng Ye, only two or three simple sentences.Probably Qunchun didn't reply to him for a long time, and Shi Yu sent a second email today, expressing his care and worry for the two of them, and Shi Yu was very worried whether they were still on the way and could not go back.

Qunchun read it quickly, and quickly swipe on the phone keyboard to type and reply to Shi Yu's email.He first expressed his apology for not replying to the email for a long time, and then simply greeted Shi Yu, and he also told Shi Yu about the huge changes in himself.

After sending the email, Qunchun put down his phone and accompanied Cheng Ye to Uncle Qin and Aunt Gui's house.

Uncle Qin can already smoothly and freely transform between Lycoris and human form at will.Uncle Qin said frankly: "What supernatural powers? I haven't discovered anything yet." Aunt Gui also nodded. They didn't find any powerful functions of these plants growing on their bodies.

"...Probably it will show up slowly in the future." Qunchun said, now it's just because of the too comfortable environment.

"But it's true, everyone's plants are more or less useful." Aunt Gui took a sip of hot tea, "Dongzi's mother can weave small padded jackets."

It turns out that Dongzi's mother is cotton. Recently, he suddenly discovered that he can make cotton wool and weave pieces of cotton fabric.

Probably just like aggressive vegetatives can shoot needles, fly leaves, spray poison, etc., mild and non-aggressive vegetatives can also produce something.These self-separating plants naturally detach from their bodies without causing them pain and discomfort.

"Haha, that's great, I'm really self-sufficient, maybe everything can be produced by vegetative people in the future..." Uncle Qin also laughed.

"That's unlikely. After all, we're still limited to plants and things related to them." Cheng Ye's heart moved, thinking of the little ball on Qunchun's body.

"Uncle, I remember that before autumn last year, did you collect a bag of dodder flowers?"

When Qunchun heard Cheng Ye's question, he remembered what he had said, and also thought of the "dodder flower" on his belly, so he couldn't help but look up.

"Yeah, what's the matter?" Uncle Qin asked Aunt Gui to take it out, "Split it up and take it back for you. The soup is delicious and good for your health." He coughed twice with a serious face.

Qunchun glanced at Cheng Ye with a guilty conscience and a little helplessness.

Aunt Gui came back with a transparent plastic bag, which contained sun-dried dodder flowers, small round, dry, earthy-brown flowers squeezed together.

Qunchun, who is a dodder, feels weird looking at the dodder flowers like this.

"Auntie will pack some for you and take them home." Aunt Gui undid the stitches as she spoke.

They were watching when suddenly the bright white light tube above their heads flickered and then went dark, and the whole living room fell into darkness.

All four of them were taken aback.

"The power went out?" Qunchun looked up at the starter, which was still blushing.

"I'll go out and have a look." Uncle Qin got up to go outside to check the switch, Cheng Ye and Qun Chun also went out.

As soon as they walked out of the house, they saw that it wasn't just their family who had a power outage, but everyone in the village had a power outage!

"The power supply is gone." Cheng Ye seemed to have expected such a day, his tone was flat.

"Hey, Guier, the candles at home are ready to be lit."

Qunchun didn't respond too much, after all, the power supply network can last until now, which is actually pretty good.

After the water storage gap of the power plant disappears, it is impossible to continue to generate electricity. No one will continue the follow-up work, and the whole city will soon be cut off.

However, I don't know if someone will occupy the power plant, and then the people who take over the original work will continue to operate the power plant and provide electricity.

Every household in the village always has candles. This power outage may last for a long time.This means that in the following days, everything related to electricity cannot be used, such as hair dryers, electric fans, rice cookers, refrigerators...

These are acceptable, anyway, in the mountains, in the early years, everyone got used to the days without some electrical appliances, and everyone used firewood to light the fire, so there was no need to worry about cooking.

But the most important thing is that Qunchun has no way to continue to connect with the outside world after the phone runs out of power.

And there are still some people in the village whose children or parents have not been able to return home, and everyone cannot contact them through mobile phones.

Thinking of this, Qunchun sighed a little.

"Uncle, aunt, let's go home first." Cheng Ye knew that a power outage was inevitable, and it was getting late, so he said goodbye to Aunt Qin Shugui, and walked back with Qunchun with a bag of dodder flowers.

It was dark along the way, and the moon in the overhead sky was covered. Occasionally, a few families came out with candles, as if they were watching the situation of their neighbors.

Qunchun walked carefully, for fear of falling or stepping on pebbles, Cheng Ye naturally took his hand and let him walk close to him.

With Qunchun to rely on, she walked more at ease.

"The battery is out. The bad thing is, I can't continue to search for news on my phone, so I contacted Shiyu." Qunchun said melancholy.

"The good thing is, this time it's really a real primitive life." Qunchun let out a long sigh of relief, leaning his head on Cheng Ye's strong arm.

Cheng Ye couldn't help laughing, and clasped his hands even tighter.

The two returned home in the dark night, Cheng Ye put away the bag of dodder flowers, and lit a candle.The orange candlelight illuminates the entire main hall.

Qunchun touched the phone and said to Cheng Ye: "I'll send Shi Yu an email immediately, the battery is out, and I may not be able to contact him in the future."

"Okay." Cheng Ye sat quietly on the side, waiting for Qunchun to finish sending the email.

Qunchun quickly edited the email, and the battery was only 34%.

There was a "ding" that the email was sent successfully, and Qunchun silently thought that it would be great if he could receive Shiyu's reply before the phone's battery ran out and automatically shut down.

The two of them could no longer use the electric water heater. Cheng Ye's family had always had an old iron bucket, which was used to boil water for bathing in the past—every household in the mountains had such an object.

When Cheng Ye got home, he set up a firewood and skillfully began to boil hot water for Qunchun to take a bath.

After a while, Cheng Ye carried the water to the bathroom.The boiled water was extremely hot, and Qunchun watched from the side as the water was still boiling and steaming.

Cheng Ye added cold water to him, adjusted the temperature of the water, and then let Qunchun come in to take a bath.

It was past ten o'clock after the two of them took a shower.

"Shall we go upstairs to rest?" Qunchun asked.

Cheng Ye was also thinking that Qunchun, who had slept for a long time this afternoon, might not be able to sleep tonight, so he didn't propose to go upstairs and go back to his room to sleep when it was time tonight.

But Qunchun had already formed the habit of going to bed early.

Cheng Ye held the candle in one hand and led Qun Chun upstairs with the other.Asking him to stay in the room, Cheng Ye went downstairs again, and came upstairs after a while, holding a cup in his hand.

"Drink some honey water." Cheng Ye handed him the cup.

Qunchun smiled, said "thank you", held the glass with both hands, and took a sip. The honey brewed in warm water was slightly sweet, and there seemed to be a faint fragrance of Sophora japonica or longan tree flower.

Just as their eyes met, the mobile phone on the table next to it suddenly vibrated and the screen lit up.

Just as Qunchun wanted to get out of bed to get his cell phone, Cheng Ye had already walked over to get it and handed it to him.

"It's Shi Yu's reply!" He vacated a seat so that Cheng Ye could sit and read with him.

Shi Yu wrote back, saying that the power supply in the city has not been cut off, probably because the school has its own power storage equipment, and it may be a little later to run out of power.

He said that now that he is wandering around, there may be little hope of finding his lover.

The last picture is a photo of Shi Yu and his lover.

In the photo, Shi Yu with a silky watermelon head smiled with crooked eyebrows, his bright black eyes seemed to be able to drip crystals, and the dimples at the corners of his mouth were also full of smiles.

Protecting him under the crook of his arm is a mature and stable man with combed back hair. His eyes are long and narrow, his nose is straight and his lips are thin. When he smiles, only his slightly curved lips and smiling eyes can see him. express his happiness.

Shi Yu said that if they were lucky, they might meet again.

After reading the email, Qunchun sent Shi Yu a very, very long email with only 17% of the battery remaining. After sending it, there was a "ding", and his mood dropped a little.

"I feel a little uncomfortable." Qunchun confided directly to Cheng Ye, "Shi Yuhe...will definitely be able to meet his lover again in the future."

Cheng Ye hugged him quietly.
