i thought we were in love

It just rained early in the morning in Xixian County, and the dampness in the air came out of the train station, bringing a bit of chill. Xie Yibai was wearing a long-sleeved shirt, and Lu Yuan was still short-sleeved when he turned his head to the side. After the autumn rain, The sky is gradually getting colder, with a temperature of one day.

"Do you feel cold?"

"It's not cold, I have great firepower."

Xie Yibai smiled: "I still have to take the bus for a while."

Lu Yuan casually hung Xie Yibai's schoolbag on one shoulder, saying that it's all right, "I'll listen to you."

The taxis outside the railway station in the small county here do not use meters, and they start at 30 yuan, and you need to pay more for further distances.

Xie Yibai usually takes the bus for only one dollar, but after he saw the people inside the bus, he changed his mind. Lu Yuan didn't need to experience this kind of crowding.

When Lu Yuan and Xie Yibai sat in the back seat of the taxi, they asked puzzledly, "Don't you take the bus?"

Xie Yibai: "There are too many people, we can't squeeze in."

Lu Yuan didn't understand this either. He had never taken a bus before, but just now when he stood outside the bus and saw the dark heads inside, he still couldn't accept it. Was he really not overloaded?

The taxi driver was a big brother. He sat in the driver's seat and listened to the two of them talking. He immediately replied, "There are so many people, there is no need to squeeze. There are so many pits on the road, and it's not safe to move around. It's better to take a taxi."

The road here is very bad. Some roads have not been repaired, and they have been bumped by large trucks for many years. When it rains, they are full of puddles.

After hearing this, Lu Yuan looked through the window, and it was indeed the same as what the driver said, and immediately said to Xie Yibai: "When you come back in the future, don't take the bus."

Xie Yibai nodded.

The middle-aged driver brother is usually very talkative. He started the car and started chatting: "You two have a good relationship. Are you two brothers coming back for the holidays?"

Xie Yibai: "Yes."

Lu Yuan thought to himself, okay, brothers should be brothers, at least others can see that they have a good relationship!

The driver brother said while driving: "You two brothers look very different, but they are both handsome guys, even more handsome than the star on TV."

Xie Yibai glanced at Lu Yuan and smiled: "He is my cousin."

"Hahaha, I said why it looks so different."

Lu Yuan: "..."

Lu Yuan lowered his head and leaned closer to Xie Yibai's ear, and said, "Cousin? Why don't you say I'm your love brother?"

Xie Yibai's ears were itchy from Lu Yuan's breath, and soon turned red because of his words. He pretended not to hear, and turned his head back to Lu Yuan, looking out the window.

Lu Yuan noticed that Xie Yibai's ears were red and his heart was itchy, so he squeezed Xie Yibai's earlobe from behind, and Xie Yibai's shoulders subconsciously twitched.

The small actions of the two of them in the back seat did not attract the attention of the driver brother. The driver brother has changed from the topic of too much rain this year to the fact that the children at home are not able to live up to school. One or two words in response, he kept saying.

When I finally got off the bus, the driver only charged 20 yuan and gave them a box of mooncakes.

Xie Yibai was very embarrassed and refused to do so, but the eldest brother was too enthusiastic, and was finally accepted by Lu Yuan beside him.

Lu Yuan said with emotion: "This big brother is too good at talking."

Xie Yibai: "You are usually good at speaking, but when you reach the age of big brother, you will probably be able to speak even more."

Lu Yuan: "..."

Lu Yuan was unhappy, "I talk a lot because I like you, do you think I'm willing to talk to other people?"

Xie Yibai was perfunctory again: "After all, everyone is an idiot."

Lu Yuan directly pinched Xie Yibai's cheeks on both sides, "Okay, Xie Yibai, I found that you have a bad mouth."

Xie Yibai pretended to be stupid: "No?"

Lu Yuan took advantage of the fact that there was no one around, so he slapped Xie Yibai's mouth, "If it's bad, it's bad, I like whatever it is."

Just as Xie Yibai was about to say something, he was interrupted by Lu Yuan, "If you dare to say that I'm nasty, try it."

Xie Yibai really wanted to say this.

Lu Yuan didn't allow him to say anything, so he didn't say anything.

Xie Yibai's family lived in the old city, and he led Lu Yuan around in the alleys, and finally stopped at the place where he had breakfast, and ordered a bowl of sweet tofu nao for Lu Yuan, and three big curry beef buns, and a bowl of salty rice for himself. Tofu brain and egg pancake refueling sticks.

Lu Yuan glanced at the tofu nao in his bowl, took a spoonful to try it, and finally swallowed it whole.

He still doesn't try.

Xie Yibai was eating without changing his expression, looking at his expression, "It's not that bad, is it?"

Lu Yuan ate the steamed stuffed bun, and gave a very subtle evaluation: "The taste is very strange."

strange?Xie Yibai is not used to sweet tofu nao, he thinks salty tofu nao is delicious.

After Lu Yuan finished eating a steamed stuffed bun, "Don't you think the problem of eating now will be solved? You eat yours and I eat mine. It's a perfect match!"

Xie Yibai didn't know where the perfect match was, but seeing Lu Yuan so happy, he was in a good mood.

After eating, Lu Yuan wanted to pay, but Xie Yibai didn't say anything, just like Lu Yuan rushed to pay for the taxi.

Xie Yibai wouldn't say that, now you have no money and I'll pay for it.

If Lu Yuan is willing to pay, then Lu Yuan will pay, and when Lu Yuan runs out of money, he will pay.

When he was almost at the door, Lu Yuan stopped.

"what happened?"

"It's the first time I go to your house, I think I still need to prepare something, it's not good to go empty-handed."

Lu Yuan, who never cared about such details, couldn't help becoming nervous. After all, he was going to Xie Yibai's house. Can he be the same as others?

"It's okay, my classmates came to the house empty-handed."

"What? You brought your classmate home? Male or female? What grade are you in?" The smell of vinegar began to become apparent.

"..."

Lu Yuan thought that he was the first person Xie Yibai brought home, and hearing what he said, he was so jealous that he kept asking.

"Xiaobai." Xie Pingqing knew that Xie Yibai was coming back today, so he got up early to clean up, and came out at the right time, and saw him and a tall boy standing not far from the door of the house. He didn't know what to say, looking at Lu Yuan's hair, that inch , I thought I was bullying someone, so I stepped forward immediately.

Xie Yibai saw Xie Pingqing coming over, "Grandpa."

Xie Pingqing looked at Lu Yuan: "Why don't you come in, who is this?"

Xie Yibai is not good at lying, so he didn't look at Pingqing when he said this, "Lu Yuan, my classmate, wants to come and play with us for two days."

Lu Yuan seemed to be meeting his parents. When he was introduced, he immediately stood in a more standard military posture, "Grandpa is good."

Xie Pingqing laughed, and the wrinkles on his face stretched out, "So it's classmate Xiaobai, come in quickly."

Lu Yuan didn't have the usual arrogance, he followed behind Xie Yibai, he was very honest, behaved very well, and tried his best to pretend to be a good student.

I don't know if it's because people talk more when they get old, or if they are sick, but Xie Pingqing loves to chatter more than before.

"Our Xiaobai has really grown up. We haven't had many friends since we were young. You must have a good relationship. This is the first time you bring your classmates home."

Lu Yuan immediately looked at Xie Yibai, but Xie Yibai pretended not to see him and did not look at him.

"We have a very good relationship."

Lu Yuan grinned, and Xie Yi glanced at him from the corner of his eye, thinking that his smile was so silly.

"Have you been in the car all night, are you sleepy? I'll ask Xiaobai to clean up the house in a while, and you can go to sleep. There is no guest room at home. The two of you squeeze together, are you okay?"

Lu Yuan laughed even more stupidly, "It's all right, thank you Grandpa."

Xie Yibai: "..."

"I'm going to the vegetable market to buy some food, what does Xiao Lu like to eat?"

"Grandpa, I can do anything, I'm not picky."

Xie Yibai smiled upon hearing this.

Lu Yuan looked at him.

Xie Yibai still smiled.

Lu Yuan was at a loss, "What are you doing?"

Xie Yibai gave a friendly reminder: "Our family has very strong tastes, whatever you don't like is my grandpa's specialty."

Lu Yuan: "..."

Especially the toppings, Xie Pingqing likes green onion, ginger, garlic, onion and millet stir-fry.

Xie Yibai: "Grandpa, I'll go with you later."

Xie Pingqing: "No, you stay at home with your classmates."

Lu Yuan: "I want to go too."

Xie Yibai: "I'll help you make the bed, you can take a shower and sleep."

Lu Yuan whispered, "I'm not sleepy, I want to go out with you."

Finally the three of them went out together, Xie Yibai walked in the middle, Lu Yuan walked on his left, Xie Pingqing stood on his right.

A small county is not like a big city. The place here is small, and it is convenient to walk, battery car or bicycle.

It rained in the morning, and the road to the vegetable market was not very easy to walk, and all the rotten vegetable leaves were thrown on the ground. Everything was very strange to Lu Yuan, but when he thought that this was the place where Xie Yibai had lived since he was a child, he felt that everything was going wrong. breath of life.

The vegetable market in the old city is very large, and it sells everything. It is convenient to buy anything, and it is fresher and cheaper than supermarkets, so there are many people who buy vegetables in the early morning.

Xie Pingqing stopped and went, asking the vegetable vendor about the price from time to time. Lu Yuan followed Xie Yibai. With Xie Pingqing around, it was difficult for Lu Yuan to hold Xie Yibai's hand, so he tugged at the hem of Xie Yibai's shirt. She turned her head and smiled at him.

Lu Yuan felt that Xie Yibai's smile was so gentle, and his hopeless heart began to beat faster.

Xie Pingqing was asking others to dissect the fish, Xie Yibai said to Lu Yuan, "I'll buy you some beef later, and I'll make you fried pork for lunch."

Not to mention how touched Lu Yuan was, he still pretended to be polite: "It doesn't need to be so troublesome."

Xie Yibai: "No trouble, don't you like to eat?"

If it weren't for the wrong time, place and people, Lu Yuan wanted to embrace Xie Yi again and kiss him in vain.

Why is Xie Yibai so nice?

Because Xie Pingqing bought a lot of vegetables because of a visitor, Lu Yuan was quite embarrassed, "Will it cost grandpa a lot?"

Xie Yibai was very surprised that Lu Yuan would say such a thing, and quickly shook his head: "It's okay, there is no fee, today is the holiday."

Lu Yuan mainly saw that Xie Yibai's family was not very good, and was afraid that the old man would spend money. He heard him say a festival, and then remembered that today was the Mid-Autumn Festival. In the end, he took the initiative to carry those heavy bags.

Xie Yibai bought some Lu Yuan's favorite food.

Then go back.

Although the houses in the old city are dilapidated, they have a large yard and a large kitchen. There is also an old-fashioned stove in the kitchen, which Lu Yuan has never seen before.

Seeing Lu Yuan staring at the well in the yard, Xie Yibai walked over, showed him a demonstration, and brought up a small bucket of water.

Lu Yuan also tried it once and found it quite interesting.

Xie Pingqing bought too many vegetables, Xie Yibai went to help him, Lu Yuan also came in, and Xie Pingqing said: "You don't know how to cook, just go and wash the vegetables."

Lu Yuan: "..."

Lu Yuan remembered that Xie Yibai didn't really seem to be very good at cooking in the past six months. He also said that Xie Yibai's cooking was not good. Soon, Xie Yibai bought a cookbook and watched cooking videos when he had nothing to do.

Thinking of what Xie Yibai said before, that he hates cooking, Lu Yuan felt a little uncomfortable.

He made Xie Yibai do something he didn't like for so long, but he didn't realize it.

I didn't know Xie Yibai at all before, and I took it for granted that Xie Yibai was what I saw.

Xie Yibai was washing the vegetable leaves, seeing Lu Yuan's eyebrows were a little disappointed, he could guess what Lu Yuan was thinking, and hooked Lu Yuan's finger with his index finger under the water in the vegetable bowl.

"Didn't you say you need to wash the vegetables? Why are you in a daze?"

Lu Yuan only felt a little itchiness at the finger, looking down at the intimately intertwined fingers in the water, the corners of his lips raised unconsciously.

The previous things are over, now Xie Yibai is in a relationship with him, and has taken the initiative to let him know a little bit.

This is a good start.
