Xie Shu was also taken aback, feeling a little electric current rushing through his head, numb, but he couldn't say what it felt like.

Did not hear Xie Shuyi's words, Jing Luo asked again: "Are you still there?"

"Yes." Xie Shu was also taken aback by Jing Luo's sudden voice.

"Then since we are friends," he opened his eyes and sat up after he finished speaking, "Should we be honest with each other?"

"How to be honest with each other?" Xie Shuyi blinked and joked, "The one without clothes?"

Jing Luo scolded with a smile: "...Get lost."

Jing Luo leaned back, and sat cross-legged on the sofa again, with a scrutinizing posture, "Why are you here?" Before Xie Shuyi could speak, he continued, "Don't say you're busy with work, I don't believe it. .”

Xie Shu also saw that his excuses were dismantled, he sighed, "Boss Jing has good eyesight."

Jing Luo confessed honestly, "Let's talk."

Xie Shu also sighed lightly, leaned back on the sofa, and murmured after a while: "Because I want someone to accompany me."

Jing Luo was taken aback for a moment, but he didn't expect him to be honest, so he asked again, "Then why did you choose this place?"

"Because..." Xie Shu also straightened up, meeting Jing Luo's eyes, "Because you also want someone to accompany you."

Jing Luo's heart skipped a beat suddenly, as if someone had discovered a secret that had been hidden for many years, he retorted subconsciously: "I don't..."

Before he could finish speaking, he was interrupted by Xie Shuyi, who smiled lightly, "I guess."

"Tsk... Xie Shuyi, you are really..."

Before he could finish speaking, he was interrupted by Xie Shuyi, "He's such a nice guy, a warm guy, a handsome guy."

"...You are really shameless."

Xie Shu also shrugged and didn't take it seriously, "Speaking of which, am I right?"

"No!!" After finishing speaking, Boss Jing made an excuse, and he yawned, "I'm sleepy, I'm going to sleep for a while."

Before Xie Shu could speak, he had already fled back to the house as if fleeing.

Xie Shu also looked at the back of Boss Jing who was evading in a hurry, and smiled helplessly.

I guessed right, at least right now, you need someone to accompany you.

We all need company...

Jing Luo panicked. He pressed his back against the door panel and tried his best to breathe calmly, but the sound of his heartbeat still stimulated his eardrums.

He tried his best to hide a good secret, but was seen through by the stranger who had been with him for more than ten days.

Xie Shuyi's words echoed in his ears over and over again, "You also want someone to accompany you, am I right?"

Jing Luo touched his heart, felt its beating, and after a while, showed a wry smile.

You guessed it right, I want company.

Both of them took what they said that day as a joke, and they both tacitly did not bring it up again.

One day at noon, Xie Shu was preparing for his lunch break when the cell phone on the table rang.

At first, he was still wondering whose cell phone was ringing, but after waiting for a long time for no one to answer it, he realized it was his cell phone.

Because Jing Luo couldn't bear the vibrating sound of Xie Shuyi's phone, he forced Xie Shuyi to change to other ringtones.

He took the phone, glanced at the caller ID, and answered the call with a smile.

"Hello, brother Lin." He said in a relaxed tone.

The voice on the other end of the phone was a bit noisy, Lin Mi changed to a quiet corner: "Shu Yi, how are you doing?"

"It's pretty good, how about you?"

The person opposite sighed and said: "It's okay, let's not talk about me, let's talk about you, what have you been up to lately?"

Xie Shu also replied with a smile: "Busy playing."

The person on the opposite side also chuckled: "You boy..." After finishing speaking, he paused for a while, and then asked, "Did you have fun and relax?"

"There's nowhere to play for the Chinese New Year, but it's very easy to relax."

"Then you won't be stuck in the homestay these days, will you?"

Xie Shu also questioned, "How do you know that I live in a homestay?"

The other person sighed and smiled and said, "I'm afraid you will be scammed away by bad guys on the way. After you told me where you were going, I searched the Internet and found that there was only one homestay open in the town you went to."

Xie Shu also smiled and said, "No wonder, you are the only one who cares about me so much."

Lin Mi laughed, "What's wrong?"

Xie Shu also sighed lightly, "It's nothing, I just want to tell you that I want to stay here for a while."

"stay How long?"

"I don't know, at least I have to wait until the spring of next year, and go back after seeing the rapeseed flowers."

Lin Mi smiled, "Okay, you have the final say."

Xie Shu also smiled and did not speak. After a long silence, he continued: "Brother, I feel that this place is very nice and warm."

There was a burst of laughter on the phone, and he asked jokingly: "I remember you went to a city in the north, are you stupid?"

Xie Shu also shook his head on the phone, his voice was serious: "No," he hesitated for a while, and then continued: "It's not the warm weather, but the warmth in my heart."

After finishing speaking, he continued on his own: "Not only the people here, but also the scenery, objects, cats, and even the vegetable market...I feel very warm. It's the kind of warmth that enters my heart, and it has nothing to do with the temperature."

After he finished speaking, after a while, there was no reply from the other party.

He tentatively asked, "Brother?"

Lin Mi said: "Well, here we are." After speaking, he said in a gentle voice: "Then this time I did not choose the wrong place."

Xie Shu also smiled: "That's right... I didn't choose wrong"

For so many years, there are only a few people who can walk into Xie Shuyi's heart, Lin Mi is one, and Jing Luo may be one.

Other than that there seemed to be no one else.He regards Lin Mi as a brother he can rely on, so he will show his thoughts to him without any scruples.

A person who has been lonely and depressed for a long time will always find an outlet, and for Xie Shuyi, this outlet is Lin Mi.

All of a sudden, Xie Shuyi poured out all the true emotions in his heart, and Xie Shuyi seemed to be a lot lighter, and he was a little drowsy.

He yawned and said with a smile, "I'm done. I'm sleepy. Let's sleep for a while."

"Okay, let's talk another day."

After hanging up the phone, Xie Shu also buried his face in the pillow and pulled the quilt over his head.

This is a self-protective gesture. What Xie Shuyi heard most when he was a child was his parents' quarrels.

Back in time to those years, the young boy listened to the endless quarrel in the living room, and took the book on the table with a blank expression. Put down the book, bury your face in the pillow, pull the quilt over your head...

Back to the present, in those years of lack of family affection, this action has become a subconscious action of Xie Shuyi. He likes to sleep with his head covered, leaving only a few strands of hair outside.He trapped himself in his own safe space, enjoying his own peace of mind alone.

The love of those years is missing, but fortunately, the love in my heart is still there...

This sleep lasted for a while, and when Xie Shuyi woke up, it was already completely dark. He sat up and looked at the pitch-black surroundings, unexpectedly feeling a little at ease.

Picking up the mobile phone on the table, checking the time, turning on the light in the dark, the warm light illuminated the room warmly.

He came to the balcony door, looked at the fog on the window, and was slightly dazed, not knowing what he was thinking.

Putting on his coat and going downstairs, before reaching the stairs, he heard a child's laughter.Xie Shu also paused, his first reaction was, is there a guest?

Hearing the voices and laughter downstairs seemed to be a little more, he started to walk downstairs again.Walking to the stairs, I saw a little girl with ponytails.

Hearing the sound from the stairs, the little girl who was teasing the cat turned around and stared blankly at Xie Shuyi.

The two looked at each other for a long time, and Xie Shu was a little embarrassed. He walked over and said to the little girl with a smile, "Hello."

The little girl replied with a smile: "Hello, big brother."

After saying hello, I fell into embarrassment again.Xie Shu also thought, "Did Jing Luo's family come back?"This is his sister?

Xie Shuyi lowered his head to look at the little girl seriously, and muttered in his heart: She doesn't look very similar...

Just as Xie Shuyi was about to turn around and run away, Jing Luo, who was wearing an apron and carrying a shovel, came out of the kitchen, he said with relief: "Hey... you finally came down, please help me watch her for a while, I will cook. "

Xie Shu also looked at Jing Luo's appearance of being a husband, and wanted to laugh a little. He suppressed the corners of his mouth and said, "Okay."

Jing Luo returned to the kitchen.Xie Shu also sat down on the sofa and looked at the little girl who was stroking the cat. The little girl had two ponytails and wore a pink cartoon sweater. She had a fleshy face and long eyelashes when viewed from the side. She looks about four or five years old, and looks a little cute.

The little girl didn't seem to realize that someone was observing her, and her chubby little hands touched Laifu's little head again and again. Laifu enjoyed it very much and made a gurgling sound.

After teasing the cat for a while, the little girl seemed to be tired. She sat down on the sofa and said to Xie Shu, "Brother, I want to drink water."

Xie Shu also smiled gently: "Okay, brother will pour it for you."

He poured the water and handed it to the little girl, watching the little girl gulp down the water, he said softly, "Do you still drink?"

The little girl shook her head, saying no.

Xie Shu also looked at her, and asked gently: "Little friend, what's your name?"

She looked at it with round eyes and shook her head: "The teacher said that you can't tell the name of someone you don't know."

Xie Shu was also amused by the little girl: "Okay, then what should I call you?"

The little girl blinked her big eyes and thought for a while, "You can call me little beauty, many uncles and aunts call me that."

Xie Shu also smiled, and his eyes behind the glasses almost narrowed: "Okay, little beauty."

After finishing speaking, he asked again: "The little beauty, how old are you this year?"

"Five years old, going to first grade soon."

After finishing speaking, he looked at the handsome brother in front of him and said, "Brother, why haven't I seen you before."

Xie Shu also said softly: "Brother is here from another place to play."

It seems that the word "outland" attracted the little girl's attention. She blinked her big eyes and asked, "Where is outland?"

Xie Shu also said patiently: "It's a place far, far away from here."

The light in the little girl's eyes seemed to dim, and he curled his lips and said, "Then I don't want to go out of town when I grow up, I still want to play with Xiaomei and the others."

Xie Shu also looked at the little girl's aggrieved appearance, and said patiently: "It's okay, then stay here and don't go anywhere."

"But... Mom and Dad said that when I grow up, they will send me to go to school in other places."

Hearing this, Xie Shu also understood that which parent does not want to give the best to their children, be it life or education.

He said comfortingly: "It's okay, there will be many children playing with you in other places."

"Really?" The little girl blinked her big eyes and said.

"Really, when you grow up, you will have more friends."

The light in the little girl's eyes seemed to light up again. She blinked her big bright eyes and said, "Then I will grow up quickly and play with many children."

Xie Shu also looked at her with a smile, and said softly, "Okay..."

Compared with the world of adults, the world of children is always so simple, and a little partner can make them happy for a long time.

Jing Luo vaguely heard their conversation in the kitchen, and smiled slightly, the feeling of desolation in her heart seemed to dissipate a lot...
