Ambiguous addiction

The two of them stared at each other silently for a few seconds in the dark living room, and the ambiguous sound from nowhere permeated every inch of the air.

Ye Xi held Lu Churan's hand and touched his chin, with a serious expression on his face to prove his innocence, "Lu Churan, I am real in front of you, so that is not me, and even if I am not real now, This woman's voice can't be mine, and even if it's a man, the one calling shouldn't be..."

"Stop, what do you tell me about this kind of thing? I'm not curious about your division of labor and positions." Lu Churan interrupted him, looked at him indifferently, and looked down at the hand that was being held, "Let go .”

Ye Xi looked at Lu Churan timidly, but wondered if he was resisting his unauthorized touch, so he let go of his fingers kindly.

Unexpectedly, seeing his bewildered reaction, Lu Churan couldn't help but smile. Ye Xi could clearly sense his smile even in the dim light, following his eyes, Suddenly I couldn't turn my eyes away.

He finally discovered that Lu Churan actually liked to laugh at home and had a gentle personality, but when he was outside, he seemed to have temporarily changed to a personality with a particularly high smile, and his expression was always a bit cold , coupled with his slow personality, he doesn't talk much to unfamiliar people, and he is very perfunctory when he meets strangers, as if he is too lazy to talk to them, so he looks particularly difficult to approach.

Lu Churan withdrew his hand, lowered his head, took a sip of milk, and licked the white marks on his lips. The continuous sound had not subsided. He turned up the sound of the movie a little, and turned to Ye Xi and said , "Did you hear that? Now I know how annoying you are usually."

"...You can't blame me entirely. The sound insulation in your house is so poor. Other than you, there are people who have sex lives. Maybe it wasn't me who woke you up before." Ye Xi took the opportunity to deny it, and unconsciously After blackmailing Lu Churan, he still didn't forget to add a sentence at the end, "Think about it carefully, if you let me stay here with you, I won't bring someone back to spend the night, and you will definitely not be punished again. I wake up."

Lu Churan looked at Ye Xi with great interest, and didn't know why Ye Xi was clearly begging him, but she seemed to be acting like a baby. This kind of contrast on a frivolous and arrogant man surprised him He was delighted.

Lu Churan admired it for a few seconds, and still firmly upheld the original verdict without changing his expression, "You won't wake me up if you move out, and you can spend the night with whomever you like."

Then I can't spend the night with you.Ye Xi slandered silently, but the expression on his face was still flattering. He moved a little closer to Lu Churan and lowered his voice a little, "Brother Lu, Teacher Lu, just let me live with you." Come here, I promise to be good, and I can also do housework for you."

Lu Churan heard Ye Xi's childlike tone and called herself brother. She felt an inexplicable joy in her heart, secretly bit her lower lip to hold back her smile, and asked curiously, "What would you do? ?”

"I will..." Ye Xi thought about it seriously, and suddenly realized that he knew so much that he was too embarrassed to count them out one by one. People who have been cared about and taken care of since childhood have to mature a bit and learn to take care of themselves. , "I can do everything, I can do everything except cooking."

Lu Churan looked at Ye Xi suspiciously, as if he was not quite sure what he said, if he would move to a new house and make himself half dead if he knew everything except cooking, "I'll think about it."

Ye Xi was not forgiving, and wished he could sign a deed of sale with him right now. If he was a good boy, he would be a miserable seller. "I finally moved my things here from where I used to live. There are a lot of work documents, customer information, etc. If you move out, you always have to run back to get it, which is very troublesome."

Lu Churan looked at Ye Xi sympathetically, but her tone was still calm, "Well, I understand what you said, but what does that matter to me? You've recovered from your illness, you have hands and feet, so what are you afraid of running around?" , but also to exercise the body.”

Ye Xi resentfully wanted to refute something, and then heard Lu Churan say, "I don't even think about talking nonsense."

So Ye Xi made a movement of pinching the zipper with his thumb and forefinger, and passed it in front of his lips, signaling to close his mouth.

"Rest early, good night."

Ye Xi stood up, put his hands together by his face and tilted his head, then walked to the door of the room, covered his mouth, and blew a silent kiss to Lu Churan, who smiled helplessly and shook his head. shook his head.

The soft stream of light in the morning poured down on the window sill, flowing warmly and warmly all over the ground, as if even the air was shimmering.

Ye Xi got up earlier than Lu Churan. After washing and changing, he lay on the sofa and played with his mobile phone. He had a sticky chat with Ryan, a rich second-generation student studying in a big rotten country. That's why he had ambiguous partners all over the world. , After chatting with the domestic ones, you can continue to chat with the foreign ones seamlessly, as if you are at the extreme with no time difference with the whole world.

After Lu Churan woke up, without looking at Ye Xi, she went to the water dispenser to get water and took it to the kitchen to boil, then went straight to the bathroom, and after she came out, she went to the refrigerator to take out the two passion fruits, and asked Ye Xi to come over and drink honey water.

After the passion fruit is cut in half, the rich fruit fragrance fills the air. Inside the purple-black shell is dark yellow pulp, which is wrapped with black seeds. Ye Xi came over and squeezed a seeded pulp curiously. Putting it in the mouth, the expression on the whole face was instantly sour.

Lu Churan looked at him and laughed, dug the pulp into the honey water with a spoon, stirred it evenly, and handed it to him, "Eating it like this is very sour, it tastes better with honey, it can detoxify and supplement vitamins , after inhaling poisonous gas for so long, it’s time to detoxify.”

Ye Xi's mouth was still sour, and he took a sip dubiously. The slightly astringent pulp mixed with honey really turned sweet and sour. His expression calmed down, and he drank the whole glass.

Lu Churan stood up and said to him, "Wait until I go to your house and open the windows before you go to work. I will drive the car to the shop and wash it later. If you have no place to go after get off work, you can come Find me."

Ye Xi nodded without saying a word, the sweet taste on the tip of his tongue still lingered, and along the way, his eyes seemed to be sweetened too, everything he saw was sweet, and his smile was instantly warmed just right.

At lunch time, my colleagues all went out to eat together, and asked Ye Xi casually if he wanted to come together. Ye Xi waved his hand and smiled and refused. After pressing the floor of the parking lot, he took a look at the time. It was only 11:30 when the regular meeting started at two o'clock. , still plenty.

In midsummer and July, strawberries, which are not in season, can only be bought in imported supermarkets. Ye Xi’s car is jammed on the city’s year-round roads, but he is in a relaxed mood. He can’t help but follow the The music whistled.

Although he has no experience, the difference between pleasing an ordinary friend and pleasing an ambiguous object is probably not too big. Anyway, he is now grasping every opportunity to show courteousness in front of Lu Churan, and maybe Lu Churan will be in the next second. Chu Ran will be very moved and say to him, "Okay, I will take you in and let you live."

He drove to a nearby high-end shopping mall, which contained a high-end imported supermarket.

On the fruit shelves in supermarkets, strawberries are bright red and full of luster, and they are neatly arranged in boxes.

"Sir, these strawberries were airlifted fresh from Australia today." The clerk enthusiastically introduced to Ye Xi from the side. He seldom eats fruit so he doesn't know how to pick fruit. Yes, I finally picked out a box of organic strawberries, each of which looked huge.

Seeing his serious expression, the clerk thought he bought it to coax his girlfriend, and was still selling to him, "Did you buy it for your girlfriend, sir? There are still a lot of fruits here that just arrived today. These are Blueberries from Argentina, kiwifruit from New Zealand, black currants from the United States..."

Ye Xi wanted to buy some black currants at first, and they seemed to be very easy to squeeze together, but when asked by the clerk, he didn't want to buy them immediately. It sounds awkward to call them boyfriend and girlfriend. Let him feel disgusted like physical discomfort.

Every relationship he's had in the past has ended before a relationship is confirmed, and he doesn't know and doesn't really want to know what it's like to belong to or be belonged to by another person.

"No, just this box of strawberries will do."

Ye Xi paid at the counter, took the strawberries from the clerk, and rubbed his abdomen with a little discomfort, feeling a little stomachache.

When he was young, either no one took care of him, or the people who could take care of him couldn’t help him, so he lived very poorly and didn’t dare to ask people for money. He always saved money by skipping breakfast. Irregular meals will become the root cause of chronic gastritis over time. If you don't eat on time, you will easily suffer from stomach pain.

He originally planned to buy something to make a cushion after delivering the strawberries and then go back to the company to work, but all his time was spent in traffic jams.

It was already one o'clock in the afternoon when Ye Xi came to "tobecontinued", the scorching sun made him hard to keep his eyes open, and after getting out of the car, a thin layer of sweat instantly evaporated on his neck.

When he walked in quickly, he felt the cold air rushing towards his face. He quickly looked and saw that there was no figure of Lu Churan. The little pupil at the bar was making coffee for the guests. He raised his head and said "Hello" before recognizing him. Ye Xi was the friend Lu Churan brought over yesterday, and pointed to him and said, "Hey, I recognize you. Are you here to find Teacher Lu? He's in the kitchen."

The electric egg beater is turning rapidly, stirring the cream cheese with caster sugar in the stainless steel basin until it is soft and smooth.

Lu Churan didn't hear the footsteps of the people behind him, but he caught a glimpse of a box of things that suddenly came into view from the corner of his eye, he looked up into Ye Xi's clear eyes, and the corner of his mouth slightly raised, "Huh? Why are you here at this time, aren't you going to work?"

Ye Xi licked his somewhat dry lips, and took the strawberries out of the bag. In fact, his stomach ached and he was exhausted, but he looked a little lazy and said slowly, "I'm here to bring you strawberries... What are you doing? What?"

"Cheesecake." Lu Churan replied, and then subconsciously moved his eyes away from the box of strawberries, followed the movement of the tip of his tongue to his pale lips, and frowned, "I went out to drink water by myself, my complexion is so bad , didn’t you have lunch at noon?”

Ye Xi shook his head, got the order, turned around and went to the bar to pour water, drank half of it, and stood next to Lu Churan with a glass of water, watching his movements curiously, and heard Lu Churan ask him, "Are you in a hurry to go back to work? "

He replied, "There is still more than half an hour. If you don't take the main road from your place to our company, there will be no traffic jams. You can get there within 15 minutes."

"That should be too late." After that, Lu Churan cracked an egg into the basin, "Come here, help me mix the egg with the contents evenly."

In response, Ye Xi put down the water glass and used the egg beater in his hand to start it up. Lu Churan took out a few pieces from the refrigerator and marinated the chicken wings with salt-baked chicken powder. The rice that was still warm in the pot was poured out, a thin layer of oil was applied to the bottom of the rice cooker, and the chicken wings were thrown in and plugged in.

Then he turned around to look at Ye Xi's situation, cracked another egg into the basin, took it back from his hands and continued to beat, and then added the rest of the ingredients.

Ye Xi stood beside him silently watching his methodical movements, and reached out to wipe off a little bit of flour that accidentally got on his face. Lu Churan lowered her head as if unaware, but the movements of her hands inadvertently paused. one time.

When the cheesecake batter is poured into the cake pan with the base and put into the oven, the chicken wings in the rice cooker are also ready.

Lu Churan took out the chicken wings, and poured the warm rice back into the rice cooker to simmer. It didn't take long for the snow-white rice to be covered with a layer of fragrant chicken oil sauce, and the rice grains were distinctly shiny. .

He put the rice in a big bowl and put the chicken wings on top of the rice. He put the big bowl in the hands of Ye Xi who didn't know whether he was dumbfounded or starved because of hunger, and pushed him out, "Wash your hands, don't be in a daze." Come on, you only have 15 minutes to eat."

Ye Xi immediately washed his hands obediently and sat down on the seat. He began to eat warm chicken wings and rice mixed with chicken oil and sauce, and his thoughts gradually became empty.

I have never felt the feeling of being personally cooked a meal for him alone.

It's like a scene that you don't dare to expect in a dream. Don't say that there are only a few pieces of chicken wings and a little rice. Even if you just fry a poached egg with two salts, someone will cook for you and hold the money in your hand. Asking the uncle at the school gate to make an egg-filled pancake for you is completely different.

Lu Churan picked a few bigger strawberries for Xiaotong, then sat opposite Ye Xi and ate the rest by herself, her lips were flushed by the juice, seeing Ye Xi stunned, she stretched out her hand and knocked on it. Knocking on his table, "Are you so hungry that you can't even chew the food, or do you still have no appetite, do you think my cooking is not delicious?"

Ye Xi quickly came back to his senses, quickly lowered his head and took two mouthfuls of rice, and said with a bulging mouth, "It's so delicious, can I come over to eat tonight after get off work?"

Lu Churan, who was appreciated and praised for his culinary skills, curled his lips and smiled triumphantly, and asked him, "What do you want to eat?"

Ye Xi hesitated for a few seconds, and said a little embarrassedly, "Steam custard."

"So simple?" Lu Churan didn't feel that his great cooking skills were being ruined, but felt that Ye Xi's face was a little cute even when he ate a steamed custard, as if making a wish, so he smiled, "It's quite easy to support."

Ye Xi's stomach was full and he was revived with blood. Hearing Lu Churan's words, his eyes suddenly became dark again, "Is it right? I'm very easy to support and I'm not picky about food. Hurry up and agree to take me in."

Lu Churan turned his eyes away and continued to eat strawberries, deliberately avoiding talking, "Then come over to eat steamed egg custard at night."

Ye Xi went back to the company and continued to work after eating a full meal. His stomach pain was no longer there, and he was always thinking about Lu Churan saying that he would make steamed egg custard for him. He was in a great mood all afternoon.

When I am in a good mood, my attitude towards customers is naturally very good, with a friendly and gentle smile, so the customer had nowhere to vent their anger because the stocks in hand have plummeted again. Seeing him smiling all the time and looking pleasing to the eye, I can’t scold him Out.

When Ye Xi was in a better mood, he became even more tired of the usual obscene words that he was used to. The new investment project that was about to be launched had settled with three previous ambiguous partners in one afternoon.

The days at the end of July are still very long, and it’s after [-] o’clock in the afternoon that there is a sense of twilight. The strong sunset seems to have melted in the water and faintly scattered in the sky.

"tobecontinued" was not busy at this time, Xiaotong was laying the table for dinner, when Lu Churan brought out the steamed custard from the kitchen, Xiaotong exclaimed, "Wow... steamed custard, I miss it so much Ah, when I was young, I didn’t like to eat, so my mother steamed custard for me to eat with rice, Mr. Lu, why did you suddenly think of making custard?”

Lu Churan raised his eyes, raised his eyebrows, cast his eyes on Ye Xi who came in through the door, and smiled faintly, "You also like steamed egg custard, so thank you big brother for bringing back a little bit of childhood for you .”

"Thank you, big brother, I also like steamed egg custard."

Ye Xi smiled, his eyes were bright, and he was so handsome that people couldn't bear to look away, "You're welcome, I'll grab it from you."

Lu Churan soaked the scallops, shredded them, put them into the egg liquid and steamed them together, so the custard exudes a faint sweet taste of scallops. Ye Xi was so busy digging the scallops that he didn't have time to eat anything else, he ate it all Two big bowls of rice.

Just after putting down their rice bowls, more than a dozen guests came in to eat and drink, and the people at the bar and the kitchen became busy instantly.

After dinner, Ye Xi had nothing to do alone, and no one paid attention to him, so he went to Lu Churan, who was washing cups and dishes, and took a rag to help him dry things, looking like he had nothing to do.

But Lu Churan just looked up at him, and said to him with no expression: "I don't have any salary to pay you, why are you helping me with something? Is today International Labor Day?"

Ye Xi didn't react, and was stunned for a few seconds, Lu Churan snatched his rag and pushed him aside, "Go sit and drink water by yourself, do you still have a fever today, do you still vomit, have you taken medicine?" ?"

Just as Ye Xi finished shaking his head, Lu Churan put the spoon under the water column to wash it away, looked at Ye Xi not paying attention, splashed water all over his body, lowered his head and frowned, and gave a "tsk" sound.

Ye Xi quickly turned over an apron and wrapped it around him, and while clumsily tying a bow tie on the back, he replied, "I didn't bring the medicine with me."

"Do you know where my bag is? There is a thick book in my bag. There is a secret compartment under the book. There is a medicine box in the secret compartment. I saw your medicine on the coffee table today. I don't know if you brought it or not, so I brought it for you by the way."

Ye Xi turned around and went to find the medicine in Lu Churan's bag, his heartbeat jumped wildly at the moment Lu Churan's words fell, and he was in a daze, as if he had been hit by some spell in Lu Churan's words. It took effect the moment it left his lips.

He doesn't know what's wrong with him. It's not like he hasn't heard more nasty and disgusting love words. What he said can be written into quotations and published as flirting textbooks at any time. However, there is something different in Lu Churan's words just now. , what is different, he does not know.

Lu Churan put the cups and tableware upside down to dry the water inside, took off the gloves, and said to Ye Xi, "If you feel bored, you can go out with your friends, but don't go back too late , I will go back after closing at 10:30 here, and I will leave you alone when I go home and lock the door, so you can find your 'ordinary friends' to spend the night."

With his head down, Ye Xi was seriously hesitating, his eyes were dark, he was secretly making some kind of determination, and he was brewing a little courage to express his true feelings, and he raised his head after a full minute and replied Chu Ran's words, Lu Chu Ran almost thought that he didn't hear clearly and wanted to tell him again.

"I, um, I'll stay with you until closing time."

"Aren't you boring?"

"Staying by your side is never boring."

Lu Churan was stunned for a moment, completely unexpected that Ye Xi would say this, he nodded, "Do whatever you want."

It was nearly 10:30 in the evening, and the night was already deep. After Lu Churan wiped the dried cups and tableware with a cloth, she suddenly found that Ye Xi disappeared again at some point, and Xiaotong cleaned up from inside again. A pile of cups came out for him to wash, and then he started counting and getting ready to leave work.

The dozen or so guests left after finishing their drinks, the glass door was pushed all the way, and the person who walked last did not close it, and the cold air from the air conditioner kept gushing out of the store.

When Lu Churan closed the door, she glanced casually outside, only to find that the ground was wet, and it suddenly started raining outside.

The moist rain permeated the air with a lingering light fishy smell, and the rainy night came quietly, like in a long sleepless night, I vaguely heard the soft whisper of my lover in my ear, the whisper touched my heart, quietly The land brings peaceful sleepiness.

When Lu Churan washed and dried the remaining cups and put them back on the shelf, Xiaotong left him the key to lock the door and said goodbye to him.

He walked into the inner hall and turned off the air conditioner and lights inside, and heard the sound of the glass door being pushed open behind him. He thought it was Xiaotong, that careless kid who forgot something and came back, but when he turned around, he found it was Ye Xi.

Ye Xi was completely drenched by the rain, dripping water all over his body as if he had just been fished out of the sea, his eyes were also drenched, those good-looking eyes were full of water vapor, and the tips of the eyelashes were also stained with rain, I can't tell if there is any emotion in it.

He walked towards Lu Churan all the way, the light and shadow changed on his face, reflecting the beautiful outline, he walked in front of Lu Churan, looked straight into his eyes, his voice was a bit mellow and hoarse , gentler than rain at night.

"You said that I will leave when I get well, but I will get sick again later, and I can't leave. Just let me continue to live in your house, okay?"

After finishing the words, a smile slowly spread on his face, do you want to drive me away, I don't want to leave, I just want to rely on you.
