In winter, the days are short and the nights are long. Although the sky is not bright outside the window, there are faint voices in the corridor.

Xu Yiren's sleeping appearance was as unconventional as ever. I didn't expect that Li Chaoyue's sleeping appearance this night was also very honest, what he was like when he was sleeping, and what he was when he woke up--that heavy arm was still draped across his chest .

Naturally, Xu Yiren didn't care about what time he slept until, but why didn't the kid next to him have a biological clock when he was going to work?Too bad, probably because I used to live too close to the company, and I got used to getting up late.

On the first day of work after the Spring Festival holiday, the elevators will be crowded when there are too many people, and the road will be blocked at an alarming speed.

How unwelcoming is it to be late for work?People have started working over there, so why don't you go in in a hurry?No loss and no long memory, has this guy not been squeezed to be honest?

But... lying down and calling him "It's time to go to work, get up quickly", and then pushing him to wake him up through the quilt, isn't it too weird?

Xu Yiren weighed it in silence for a few seconds, and finally shook the corner of the quilt ruthlessly, shaking off the big arm that the master had forgotten outside the quilt, got up and got out of bed and cleared his throat heavily - there was a burst of voices coming from behind. The sound of struggling a few times, mixed with sobs of unwillingness and grief, finally turned into a big yawn, and asked indistinctly, "What time is it?"

"I don't know." Xu Yiren retreated successfully, walked to the bathroom, and quickly washed his face, neck, wrists, and places exposed to the outside of the pajamas with cold water, successfully distracting his attention, and went out of the drawer again. I found a cup to clean, put a new toothbrush in it, and placed it next to the sink.

Ordinarily, there is nothing wrong with placing similar items together, no matter from the aesthetic point of view or in terms of neatness, but Xu Yiren vaguely watched the two people's cups placed together, feeling... as if he was going to live forever.

"Ahhh!" A scream came from the bedroom, "It's [-]:[-]! I want to clock in!!!"

Xu Yiren took a step back as if with a premonition, and then the bathroom door was knocked open. Li Chaoyue rushed in with two arms and two sleeves, but he didn't know where his head was, and shouted "Xu Yiren Brother, let me use the toilet first." He broke into the small door of the bathroom, and only after a while did he come out in human form.

Xu Yiren: "Brush your teeth and wash your face."

Li Chaoyue brushed his teeth, washed his face, wiped it casually with a towel, and took a bottle of body lotion. In a hurry, he squeezed a lot in the palm of his hand with too much force. He reacted quickly. Without hesitation, he patted the back of Xu Yiren's hand who was brushing his teeth: "The remaining medicine can't be put back into the reagent bottle, don't waste it."

Xu Yiren: "..."

Li Chaoyue stretched his neck and wiped it and said, "It's too late! Brother Xu, do you have any more bread? I'll take it and eat it on the way!"

"Cough, cough," Xu Yiren choked on the toothpaste foam, rinsed his mouth, "the bread is finished."

"Oh, forget it, I'll go find something to eat after punching out the card." Li Chaoyue was in a hurry, and he was dressed in less than a minute. , call me if you need anything!"

"boom--"

Hearing the movement outside the door, he seemed to press the elevator a few times and felt that the elevator was too slow, so he simply opened the fire door and ran into the stairwell... On the 18th floor, is this guy planning to jump down?

For a moment, he was the only one left in the house, and the sound of doors opening and closing from other households on the same floor could still be heard from time to time in the corridor, and there were distant car horns downstairs, and water was still running from the faucet... Amidst the noise, Xu Yiren's heart was blank, and he brushed his teeth again in a daze.

I reached out to get a towel from the familiar position on the towel rack, only to find that it was empty, and when I touched it again, the new one next to it was still in good health.

Regardless of the cause or the aftermath, if you just look at it from the outside, this kind of life is no different from living at home, but...Xu Yiren wanted to dry the quilt before going out, so he reached out to touch the bed—there was only one bed left up.

This guy, what he said last night was really a joke.

Either he was halfway through the joke, and he felt bored, so he didn't continue; or he knew he wasn't asleep, so he deliberately said half of it to make him scratch his heart.

But he was still pretending to be asleep at the time, so he couldn't wake up the next day and ask him what you were going to say "actually" last night, as if he was really overwhelmed by his previous words, thinking about it all night.

boring.

Xu Yiren hung out the quilt unhappily.Then he went to Li Chaoyue's room and saw that not only the quilt and pillows were brought back, but they were also folded and placed on the bedside. If it weren't for the few strange folders scattered on the table, he would have suspected that last night was a dream.

Cleaned up really neatly.Maybe when I arrive at the company later, a few young people are joking around, and the relationship is reconciled, so I will move back tonight?

Let's go.

The second bedroom, which was usually neglected, was inexplicably charged with colluding with the enemy, and became an eyesore. Xu Yiren didn't want to be in the same room with it, so he dressed angrily and went out.

Fortunately, the weather was not bad, and it wasn't too cold to make things worse. After paying the bill at the heating center, the taxi drove for a while before Xu Yiren found out that he was downstairs at his parents' house.

Yes, otherwise where else could he go?

He doesn't have a job, and staying without pay is just a way to save face. He doesn't know how long he can live with his savings and compensation. Maybe it will be spent before he finds a suitable new job, and the mortgage will not be repaid by then.

He is not the same as a young man who can go to heaven and earth.

The parents were puzzled by the strange return of their stubborn son who had just moved away yesterday. Xu Changping asked silently, "Is today Tuesday?"

Xu Yiren's mother nodded: "Yes, it's not the weekend yet."

But Xu Yiren pretended to be attentively listening to the TV, oblivious to the subtext of the conversation between the two, and the three of them sat on the sofa with their own thoughts.

In the end, only the mother is good in the world. The mother couldn't bear it anymore and threw out an olive branch: "Son, it's really inconvenient for you to go back and live by yourself. Your father and I are also worried, why don't you come back."

Xu Yiren spent a little effort yesterday except for the general cleaning. At other times, apples were being peeled and vegetables were being picked up. She didn't feel "inconvenient" at all, and replied absent-mindedly, "Mom, I'm fine. I'm doing well."

The two parents looked at each other. Although Xu Changping was sometimes unreasonable, he still knew his son very well: "I'll go to your hospital to find Lao Wang and arrange something for you."

Xu Yiren's nerves twitched, and he replied decisively and quickly: "No need. Go back if you can, and forget it if you don't."

He didn't want to stay where he was nostalgic in a way of being sympathetic, and the current situation he knew very well that there was nothing he could do when he returned to the hospital, so why bother to go back and make trouble?For the same job, the hospital can hire a person with normal vision.

Xu Changping said in a bad tone, "You're determined."

Xu Yiren knew that his father was making him unhappy, so he relaxed, took an orange from the table almost exactly, and said casually: "This orange is really big."

The mother took it over with her hands: "You, why are you eating indiscriminately? Didn't the doctor's order say that you need to measure it every day? You can't even see it. Can you count how much you eat? It's really annoying to pick a big one. Worried. Old Xu, think about is there any girl who is not too picky, who is nice and can be a companion."

Xu Yiren: "...I don't usually eat oranges very much."

"You have to eat even if you don't eat oranges. Someone has to take care of you. Please ask a nurse, you are a stubborn person who can't talk to you, so you need to find someone who can take care of you." The more her mother talked, the more speechless Xu Yiren became. It was acquiescence, and he became more energetic, and asked Xu Changping, "Old Xu, think about it quickly."

Xu Changping has always kept his mother's orders on the agenda, and began to search: "You said that, I really remembered... I didn't meet her before because I thought her conditions were not good, but I heard that the girl is still there. He's good, he can do housework, he's a real kid."

Mother: "Just be nice!"

In Xu Yiren's tutoring, there was never such a thing as "if you don't agree with each other, you will leave in a hurry".

Mother: "In this situation...it's okay not to have a child. I'll go to check it out later. If I can, I will have one. If it's really not suitable, I can hold one."

Xu Changping: "This kid can't drive a car now, so I'll buy a better one for the girl."

Mother: "His small apartment is too shabby, why don't you change him to a bigger one first?"

Xu Yiren couldn't bear it anymore when he heard that, just at that moment his cell phone rang, it was the air conditioner maintenance personnel that the property management contacted him in the morning to come home.He hastily left as if he had caught driftwood.

Xu Changping said with a dark face, "You just came here to use the heat when the air conditioner is broken?"

Mother: "Poor child, there is no heating or air-conditioning, so go back and freeze overnight, why didn't you tell me earlier!"

Xu Yiren hurriedly found an excuse: "I'm here to get the car keys, it's time for the car inspection."

Xu Changping snorted coldly: "You can still go to the car inspection like this? I'll go to the inspection for you in two days when I'm free."

Xu Yiren prevaricated: "Dad, no need, the car is downstairs at my house, I'll just ask a friend to help me."

Who knows if Li Chaoyue is busier than his father?Forget it, it's better to find someone from the property than to count on him.

The little worker who repairs the air conditioner is very professional and pays attention to hygiene. He wears shoe covers and spreads dustproof cloth to cover it, but after all, the windows on the upper floors can only be opened at an angle. The plug-in machine, after it was repaired, still made a mess in the room where Li Chaoyue lived.

The maintenance worker apologized repeatedly. Seeing Xu Yiren's poor eyesight, he asked for the broom and dustpan to be cleaned, but his phone kept ringing, and other residents who were waiting for repairs kept urging him. Xu Yiren felt that his work was not easy, so he simply let him gone.

The ground is easy to clean, just sweep away all the dust, the bed sheets and quilt covers are replaced with new ones, and the old ones are thrown into the washing machine for washing.But Xu Yiren's headache was caused by the folders on the desktop that were messed up by the maintenance worker's tool kit. It seemed that there were quite a few pages, and he couldn't arrange them in such a mess. How could he explain to Li Chaoyue?

Of course that kid won't be angry because of this, but does he feel that living here has no privacy, and when he's not at home, others will rummage through things?

Even if he lives in a dormitory, although others don't have a good relationship with him, at least they won't rummage through his things.

Xu Yiren pinched a corner of the document paper, and felt something was about to flow from between his fingers.

As for him, he couldn't see clearly and couldn't catch it, so he could only stand on the shore, watching the ruthless flowing water, ding dong flowing far away.

Don't do anything bad, don't be afraid of ghosts knocking on the door, when the phone rang, Xu Yiren was holding the document and didn't know what to do, and he swiped two or three times before answering the phone.

The tone on the other end of the phone was very professional: "Hello, is this Mr. Xu Yiren?"

Xu Yiren frowned: "What are you doing?"

"Telephone return visit, cooperate." Li Chaoyue said, showing his true colors, and then resumed his seriousness, "How do you feel about your body recently? Are all the indicators within the normal range?"

Xu Yiren was a little dazed: "Don't you have to go to work?"

Li Chaoyue said lazily, "Oh, am I not working now? Please cooperate with me. I have to fill out the return interview form. What do you say when I ask you!"

Xu Yiren: "Don't you know everything? Do you still need to ask?"

Li Chaoyue said viciously: "Brother Xu, why do you look different every day? Last night you taught me, 'The report can be written by your thinking, is it still called an experimental report'? Why don't you support my work today? I called several times in the morning, and people asked me what to say! Why is it so hard for you?"

Let him do the work of calling back, isn't their company abusing people?

Xu Yiren was so upset that he couldn't get any more upset: "Just ask."

Li Chaoyue cleared his throat: "Mr. Xu, how did you rest last night?"

It is surprising that Xu Yiren was able to sleep well last night - first he waited for the second half of his sentence for an hour, thinking that this brat was brewing there, but when the snoring sound came, he was thinking wildly again. Just fell asleep.

He gritted his teeth and replied, "Very good."

"Oh, very good." Li Chaoyue seemed to be full of notes, and then asked, "Did Mr. Xu take his medication on time?"

Xu Yiren: "..."

In the morning, Xu Yiren was neglected by him for a while, and Xu Yiren even forgot to take eye drops and went out.

With this hesitation, Li Chaoyue realized that something was wrong: "Brother Xu, why didn't you pay attention at all? I didn't tell you such a sentence in the morning and you forgot? Adhere to the half-life of the drug and insist on taking the medicine on time. If you write a few hours, then How many hours does it take, you don’t know such a simple truth? Do you think they wrote it for fun?”

After scolding him like a machine cannon, Li Chaoyue announced the decision of punishment loudly: "No, I will give you a health lecture for two hours when I get home at night, don't even try to run away!"

Come back home?

Xu Yiren felt that something in his heart that was getting bigger and bigger like a snowball suddenly melted away and flowed into all the veins in his limbs.

His whole body was moistened and comfortable, and he responded happily: "Oh."
