On the way back, the two walked side by side.The crowd on the street was bustling, and they walked in silence until they turned into the small alley very close to their home. Jing Luo glanced at Xie Shuyi who was hesitant to speak along the way, and asked, "Want to ask?" What?"

"Ah? It might not be polite to ask like that." Xie Shuyi said cautiously.

"Ask, it's rude, I just don't answer."

"I don't think that old lady looks like a lonely old man."

Jing Luo seemed to be interested, he stopped and looked at Xie Shuyi, "How did you know that?"

"I seem to see a photo at home, it's a group photo."

"The young man has good observation skills."

Jing Luo turned her head and continued walking into the alley, "You're kidding, it's not some lonely old man, it's me, a grandma."

"No wonder."

"what?"

"I think you two are like grandparents and grandchildren, the kind of relatives." Xie Shuyi seemed to be in a good mood, and his voice was full of happiness.

"Not dear."

Xie Shuyi didn't react for a while, wondering: "Huh?"

Jing Luo paused, and transferred the things in his other hand, "There is no blood relationship, but they are quite close."

Xie Shu also tossed his hands and put his frozen red hands into his pockets, "Actually, it doesn't matter, blood relationship is not important, how many people are related by blood are not the same as strangers."

"Sure enough, the writer of the book is different, you can read it so clearly." Jing Luo joked.

Xie Shu also let out a helpless smile, and didn't answer any more.

It's not that I understand it, it's because I have experienced it myself.

For the rest of the road, the two of them didn't talk any more. One was that there was nothing to talk about, and the other was that it was too cold, and they would pour cold wind into their mouths whenever they talked.

After a while, the two arrived at the door of the house.Jing Luo took out the key and opened the door, and the two entered the house one after the other.

When they came indoors, Jing Luo went to the kitchen and stuffed the big and small bags into the refrigerator, and took the shopping bag from Xie Shuyi's hand, and stuffed them into the refrigerator together.After finishing all this work, he turned around and walked across the living room to the sofa, and just lay down on his back.Lai Fu in the cat's nest seemed to know that the excrement shoveler came back, slowly came out of the cat's nest, jumped into Jing Luo's arms, Jing Luo stroked the cat, from the cat's head to the cat's tail , Laifu enjoyed a "meow~" and then purred after a while.

After getting along with each other these days, Xie Shuyi is no longer as stiff as when he first came here, but he still hasn't completely relaxed.

He felt a little hot, and realized that the down jacket hadn't been taken off, so he took off the down jacket and folded it neatly, and handed it to Jing Luo: "Thank you for the clothes, it's quite warm."

"Keep it warm."

"Ok?"

"The first time you come to the north, treat it as... um..." He thought for a moment and said, "New Year's gift."

It's a bit strange to say, but also a bit funny, to give someone else's down jacket as a gift.

Xie Shu also smiled: "Then... thank you Boss Jing for the gift." He withdrew his hand and put the gift neatly on the sofa.

"Sit down, you don't have to look out like this, treat yourself like your own home."

Xie Shu also sat down, feeling a little funny, he thought to himself, don't be a stranger, I've washed all the dishes for you, don't you think it's your own home?

After Jing Luo rested for a while, she went to the kitchen to cook.

Xie Shu also played with Laifu for a while, and also went to help in the kitchen for a while.

The meal was quite enjoyable. Jing Luo's cooking skills are good. Although he is not as good as a five-star chef, it is really rare to be able to cook so many home-cooked dishes.

After eating, he simply cleared the dining table, and Xie Shu also went upstairs to rest.

There is plenty of sunshine in winter, and the golden sunlight flows through the balcony like a waterfall, sprinkles on the bed through the window, and falls on the floor.He opened the closet and hung this New Year's gift in the middle of his coat.

This down jacket seemed a bit abrupt in a row of coats. Xie Shu also smiled, stretched out his hand and pushed the coat aside, and hung up this "second-hand" down jacket in a large space left.

After tidying up these things, Xie Shuyi was ready to take a nap.

He has always had the habit of taking a nap, and likes to check his mobile phone or read a book before going to bed.

Zhouqing Town was Xie Shuyi's impulse when he was surfing the Internet during his lunch break one day. He didn't actually want to come to this place at first, but he accidentally saw the rapeseed flowers here.

Rapeseed flowers are just an impulse, and what really confirmed this impulse was an evening supermarket shopping.

One evening, Xie Shuyi returned home after shopping in the supermarket, standing at a crowded intersection, looking at the dazzling neon lights on the side of the road, the couple and a family of three on the opposite side of the road.

I don't know whether he was dazzled by the neon lights or stabbed in the heart by the reunion of others, but the sudden sense of loneliness weighed on him like a mountain, making him unable to walk or breathe.

When the green light came on, countless people rubbed against his shoulders and passed him by. At that moment, he suddenly panicked. It seemed that none of the lights were lit for him. In this case, why not run away?

A short honking of a car horn drew him back.

The green light flashed, and he rushed across the zebra crossing at the last second.He took a deep breath, as if he had made up his mind, he slid open the phone, clicked on the app, entered the information, and the payment was successful, the action was done in one go without any hesitation.

After finishing all this, he smiled with relief, since we are all alone anyway, why not go to another place for the New Year?

Thinking of this, Xie Shu also felt a little sad in his heart. He put down his phone, buried his head in the quilt, and just fell asleep.

Compared to Xie Shuyi, Jing Luo was a little dazed.For so many years, I spent most of the New Year alone, and only occasionally spent the New Year with the old lady for a few years.

Although it was said that Zhang Zhou and his friends would come over during the Chinese New Year, Jing Luo just felt deserted, especially in his heart.

His homestay is open every year during Chinese New Year, and he hopes to give strangers a place to stay.In addition, he also has a selfish intention, that is, he hopes that someone can accompany him for the New Year.

He looked towards the stairwell at the corner, and suddenly smiled, he was still taken aback by the person standing there this morning.

However, it's good to have someone to accompany you, at least you don't have to giggle at the TV alone on the night of the New Year's Eve.

Because he woke up early in the morning, it was already dark when Xie Shuyi woke up. He rubbed his eyes and sat up, looking at the gray sky outside the window, not knowing where he was for a while, he looked around, Looking at the unfamiliar structure, I realized where I was.

In the past, when I slept until I woke up at night, looking at the dark night outside the window, Xie Shu always fell into the vortex of loneliness, and it took a while to get out.Now, although he was a bit lonely, once he thought that there was another person downstairs, he would not fall into that whirlpool.

Xie Shu also sighed silently, put on his slippers and went downstairs.A warm yellow light was turned on downstairs, there was no one in the living room, only Lai Fuan was sleeping peacefully in his bed.He came to Laifu, stretched out his hand and stroked its head. Hearing Laifu's cooing sound, Xie Shuyi smiled slightly and rolled his eyes.

"What are you laughing at?" Jing Luo said as she came in with the bag and closed the door.

"It's nothing, just playing with Laifu." Xie Shu also stood up, noticing the bag in Jing Luo's hand, "Going shopping? Why didn't you call me."

Jing Luo raised the bag in his hand and signaled: "I didn't buy much, I took it myself."

"What did you buy?"

"Chai, rice, oil, salt, sauce, vinegar and tea." After speaking, he walked into the kitchen and put away the newly bought things.

Then, he opened the refrigerator and took out the dishes and began to prepare dinner. Xie Shu also watched Jing Luo busy in the kitchen alone. Although he contracted to wash the dishes, he was more or less embarrassed.

After hesitating for half a year, he still walked to the kitchen door, "Is there anything I can do?"

Jing Luo glanced at the vegetables lying in the pool, thought for a while and said, "Then help me choose the vegetables."

"Okay!" Xie Shu also came to the side of the pool and began to complete his task.

Xie Shu also rolled up his sleeves to his elbows, turned on the water, and the warm water flowed over his wrists, warming his slightly cold fingers.

The preparations were completed, but Xie Shuyi didn't move. He turned his head in embarrassment, "This... how do you do it?"

The range hood in the kitchen was humming, Xie Shuyi's voice was low, Jing Luo was so absorbed in cooking that he didn't hear it at all.

Xie Shu also asked several times but no one answered, and he felt troubled looking at a pile of green vegetable leaves.

Ten minutes later, Xie Shu also handed Jing Luo the dish with only a stick left.

"No, brother, where's the food?" Jing Luo's eyes widened, with surprise written all over his face.

"That's it." Xie Shuyi put down his sleeves and shook the water off his hands.

"No...there's only the pole left, where is Ye?"

"Throw it away." Xie Shu also looked serious.

Looking at the pile of bare vegetable stalks, Jing Luo didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "Master, you don't even know how to choose vegetables." He picked up a vegetable stalk, "Just remove the roots, and the leaves can be eaten too. "

After finishing speaking, he poured the vegetable stems into the pot, "Okay, let's eat it," casually stir-frying it a few times, and then said: "I was spoiled by my family since I was a child, so I don't eat fireworks."

Xie Shu also smiled awkwardly, "If you haven't been spoiled, you simply haven't cooked."

Jing Luo nodded, and handed him the fried dishes just now, "All right, let's take out the dishes, young master."

Xie Shu was also powerless to refute, took the dishes and left the kitchen in a muffled voice.

When Jing Luo brought out the last dish, Xie Shuyi was still sitting on the sofa.

"Come and eat, master."

"..."

Today's dinner was also a home-cooked dish, and the two of them just ate without talking.

Xie Shu also hesitated again and again, and took the initiative to break the silence, "I'm sorry tonight."

"It's okay." Jing Luo pushed the dish of vegetables in front of him, "Try your vegetables, they are specially fried for you."

Xie Shu also picked up his chopsticks and said with a smile, "It's quite delicious."

Jing Luo looked at him, and suddenly laughed out loud, "You man, can't you see that I'm choking you?"

Xie Shu also picked up another chopstick, and said with a smile: "It can be seen, but it's really delicious." After finishing speaking, he also picked up another chopstick and put it in Jingluo's bowl, "The cooking skills are good, Boss Jing, You try it."

"I don't want to taste it, young master, you can enjoy it alone." Jing Luo returned the chopsticks to his bowl.

Xie Shu also smiled, picked up the vegetable stick and put it in his mouth, "Then thank you, Boss Jing."

Seeing his serious look, Jing Luo burst out laughing suddenly.

The atmosphere returned to normal, the laughter of the two broke the sudden embarrassment, and the silence that came with it.

"I'll do the dishes in the future."

"Quite self-aware." Jing Luo laughed.

Xie Shu also pretended to sigh lightly, "Strength does not allow it."

Jing Luo smiled and didn't speak.

"Hey... But, I didn't expect you to cook," Xie Shu also glanced at him, "Are you here to learn?"

Jing Luo chuckled: "It still takes learning, Boss Jing, I am very talented and self-taught."

Xie Shu was also not stingy with his praise, he gave Jing Luo a thumbs up with his left hand, held a chopstick with his right hand, and said with a smile: "Amazing."

Seeing him like this, Jing Luo clasped his fists together, "Be polite."

Both of them were amused by each other, it was a smile from the heart, clean and pure, without any impurities.

Xie Shu also looked at Jing Luo who was eating with his head down. The warm yellow light shone on his head, making him feel warm.

He smiled knowingly, this boss is quite interesting.
