Yin Xu dumped the crabs into the sink next to the cooking counter for disposal, but the crabs crawled out immediately after regaining their freedom. Wei Siyuan was watching with his arms crossed. Yin Xu held the pot cover in one hand and the knife in the other. Like a knight, he began to wrestle with the crab.

"Siyuan, come and help me...it's coming!" Yin Xu shot Wei Siyuan a begging look.

Wei Siyuan hid in an absolutely safe place and calmly added insult to injury, "Don't help, you said you would do it yourself. You just said outside that you don't want my help. When it comes, you catch it. Why are you running?"

The crab is very fierce, holding its pincers and nimbly running sideways on several legs. Yin Xu swung his knife around in front of it as if to chop, but then the knife was clamped. When he picked it up, the other crab The pliers were stretched out in front of his face.

Yin Xu was frightened into a cold sweat, grabbed the handle of the knife and slammed the crab vigorously. After shaking the crab's claw several times, it broke and fell back to the ground. The claw was still firmly clamped on the knife.

The crab turned into a one-armed hero for no reason. He was stunned for a while, and then he ran away in an instant like Yang Guo whose arm was cut off by Guo Fu. He used one pincer to hold two, and chased Yin Xu and started to attack. Holding a knife, Yin Xu was chased and ran in the kitchen, and was finally surrounded by two crabs one behind the other, struggling to advance and retreat.

"Siyuan!"

"Don't call me, I'm not a crab." Wei Siyuan was still very indifferent, and gave him instructions mercilessly, "Don't move around with your knife, or you will hack up my kitchen and I will have to pay the landlady for repairs .”

Yin Xu had no choice but to bite the bullet and fight with the crab, and it took a long time to drive the two to the same place. The egg roll had been watching the battle on the bar for a long time, and the crab moved its face and moved accordingly. Jump down from the top, raise your claws and pat the crab's head.

"Son, can you stop joining in the fun at this time, dad has a knife in his hand, it's dangerous, go away!" Yin Xu didn't have any extra hands to chase the egg roll, so he could only mutter to it, the egg roll was having fun, I ignored him, and leaned over to smell the crab, and then pat it.

Wei Siyuan saw him sweating profusely, even the egg roll was calmer than him, he smiled uncontrollably, then turned his face to the side to recover his paralyzed face, Yin Xu immediately turned his head back sensitively, Staring at him, he said, "Wei Siyuan, I saw you snickering!"

Wei Siyuan shook his head helplessly, then walked over, snatched the pot lid from Yin Xu's hand, quickly picked up the egg roll with one hand and put the pot lid off the top of the crab's head with the other hand, and tossed Yin Xu for half an hour. Things are fixed.

Yin Xu looked at Wei Siyuan admiringly, and wanted to give him a smile and a hug, but Wei Siyuan held him in place holding the egg roll that had been looking back at the crab with a face of resistance, "You hold the knife and don't come here."

Yin Xu retreated again, clumsily and persistently struggled for another half an hour, before he wiped out the two crabs and dealt with them. It was more difficult than a surgeon who worked continuously for an hour, and Wei Siyuan had to wipe his sweat and hand him the knife. , I have to pass the seasoning to him after it's off the pot.

When the fire was finally turned off and the pot was ready, both of them breathed a sigh of relief, but Yin Xu occupied the kitchen all night, which made Wei Siyuan unable to cook other dishes. The two people's New Year's Eve dinner only had a plate of stewed crab with bitter gourd.

Fortunately, the taste is really good. The bitter gourd is stewed very soft, and the bitter taste is not heavy. Instead, it absorbs the umami taste of the crab, and the crab absorbs the taste of the fermented soybeans in the sauce to reduce the original fishy smell.

"Is it delicious, Siyuan?" Yin Xu lay on the table, nervously and flustered all night, almost exhausted his energy, suddenly lost his appetite, and just wanted to watch Wei Siyuan eat.

"It's not bad, the teacher's wife taught you well." Wei Siyuan ate non-stop appreciatively, occasionally sneaking a peek at Yin Xu, a little embarrassed by his stare, "The red wine you bought yesterday is in the cabinet."

Yin Xu went to get the red wine, took two red wine glasses by the way, and glanced outside when he passed the floor-to-ceiling windows, and saw the snowflakes falling in the rain under the street lamp, which was not very big, "It's snowing outside , no wonder it was so cold when we came back in the afternoon."

Wei Siyuan looked up and took a look outside, but said nothing, just lowered his head and ate the crab with relish.

Yin Xu poured two glasses of red wine, and clinked glasses with Wei Siyuan. Facing the clean eyes in the soft light, there was an unexpected tranquility in his heart. He wanted to say something, but felt that there was nothing. Any words can express his feelings, so he just looked at Wei Siyuan quietly and smiled, drank the red wine in the glass, and then added some more.

After drinking two glasses of wine, the minds of both of them relaxed, and they would smile indistinctly just looking at each other. Yin Xu felt emotional when he saw Wei Siyuan smiling at him, so he boldly stretched out his hand to hold Wei Siyuan's finger, leaned over He leaned over and touched his lips lightly.

"If you like, I can make more for you in the future, and I can learn to cook other dishes you like."

Wei Siyuan lowered his head and smiled again, "I wouldn't let you dismantle my kitchen just for one meal."

"I like you, Wei Siyuan." Such a sentence suddenly popped up in Yin Xu's mind, and then he said it.

"What do you like about me?" Wei Siyuan asked.

"I won't tell you, what if you know about the changes in the future, you will be able to bully people now." Yin Xu deliberately said childish words, but what he thought in his heart was that he liked everything about Wei Siyuan, so he had to be desperate Find him, stay by his side and don't want to leave.

Wei Siyuan was amused by him, took his hand back, picked up the wine glass and took a sip of red wine, "If you don't care about it like this, Mrs. Yin and Mrs. Yin will have a headache. During the Chinese New Year, relatives will ask about your recent situation and know that you are not good with girls. Falling in love, getting married, and chasing a man abroad, there must be a lot to say, and people's words are scary."

"Who cares what other people think when they are full, I don't live for them anyway, they don't like me and I think they are stupid. And my parents agreed, no one can stop them except me Other than that, I like you the most."

Wei Siyuan was a little surprised and felt dizzy, "Have you told them all?"

"They will know if I don't say anything, everyone who knows me all over the world will know." Yin Xu drank the red wine in the glass again, Wei Siyuan asked him to drink slowly, his expression softened suddenly, "You are distressed me?"

"I was just thinking, if you meet someone more suitable and want to be together in the future, it will be difficult to recover the scene."

"Then there is no such person," Yin Xu reached out and touched his head, "Don't think so much, don't be afraid."

After dinner, both of them blushed a little. After Wei Siyuan washed the dishes and put away the dishes, he walked to the French window and looked down, and found that there was already a thin layer of snow on the grass on the ground.

"The snow seems to be getting bigger, when are you leaving?" Wei Siyuan sat next to Yin Xu and glanced at him.

Yin Xu leaned on the sofa and was silent for a few seconds, then answered him, "I'm drunk, I can't walk anymore."

"Don't pretend, you think I don't know how much you drink?" Wei Siyuan gently slapped his hand that was about to hug again, but was still hugged.

"I didn't pretend, I just pour one glass now, you... I haven't had a drink since you left, not a single drop." Yin Xu's voice suddenly quieted down after he spoke, and he pressed against Wei Siyuan's slightly hot face Rubbed his cheeks.

Wei Siyuan remained unmoved and insisted not to keep him, "You ask Liu Yi to come pick you up."

"At this moment, Liu Yi is taking a bath and going to bed with her girlfriend in her arms to watch TV. You are too embarrassed to disturb her. You think everyone is as innocent as the two of us." Yin Xu tightened his grip on Wei Siyuan, and looked at him anxiously eyes, and asked him eagerly in a low voice, "Siyuan, tell me seriously, do you like me a little bit now?"

Wei Siyuan's heart suddenly missed a beat, and then started to beat rapidly. He was silent, and fell into deep thought as Yin Xu asked this question. He looked into Yin Xu's eyes persistently, and the restlessness settled down in his heart.

It was a very gentle night, snowflakes were falling quietly outside the window, and the two embraced each other in the warm room. On New Year's Eve two years ago, Yin Xu and him hugged each other tightly in the cold wind .

Then those clips that I thought I had forgotten long ago emerged from my mind, and even the details were as clear as if they were right in front of my eyes, including the lip marks on Yin Xu's collar and the almost imperceptible lipstick on his lips.

Yin Xu smelled like tuberose on someone else's body, hugged him and said to him, "I still don't want to, I'm sorry."

That feeling of powerlessness after spending five years exhausting all his thoughts to like someone, giving his heart without hesitation, and finally returning to nothing, turned out to be deeper than he thought.

"I've already let you go." Wei Siyuan's eyes began to heat up slowly, but his eyes were dry and he couldn't cry out. He looked at Yin Xu's eyes, which were deep and deep. He bit his lip and remained silent for a few seconds. When he decided to confess, his heart skipped a beat. There was a sour feeling, "When I liked you before, I even had nightmares of you being with someone else. I don't want to live that kind of life anymore."

He could hear that Yin Xu's breathing became heavy, and the arms holding him were also tense, and he felt the familiar smell in Yin Xu's arms. Not so heavy, you can easily say, "Yin Xu, I'm not such a kind and open-minded person, but I don't want to treat life with hatred and resentment, and fight against myself like a schizophrenic."

"But there's something, it's here," Wei Siyuan pointed to his left chest, and took a deep breath quietly, but still felt it was difficult to breathe, so he could only shake his head helplessly, "As long as the heart beats, the whole body It hurts. I admit that I have feelings for you, but that's not liking, because I won't want to be with you like before."

"Then can you share the pain with me? I will hurt for you." Yin Xu's voice became hoarse, his nose was sore, and his heart throbbed from being poked by Wei Siyuan's words. For some reason, tears welled up, "It's okay if we're not together." It’s okay, don’t meet again, just start as ordinary friends.” He turned around and hugged Wei Siyuan tightly, pressing his face against his neck, hot tears fell into his collar, with thick Strong nasal voice, "Siyuan, I really, really like you. I don't want to live a life where I can't see you every day when I wake up."

No one knows what will happen in the future, but now...

Wei Siyuan sighed softly, hugged Yin Xu back, reached out and patted his back, stroked his hair, and whispered to him, "I won't miss you."
