you rely on me to like you

There was a ringing of the doorbell, and Zhong Haochen, who was sitting on the sofa in the living room, looked in the direction of the guest room, and stood up hesitantly to open the door.

"Why are you here?" Zhong Haochen looked at Zhong Xicheng who was standing outside the door with a lunch box in his hand, and subconsciously blocked the door.

"Grandma asked me to bring it. My mother woke up early in the morning to cook the ribs and fish fillet porridge. It's delicious." Zhong Xicheng tried to enter the house, but found that his brother was motionless.

"Why don't you let me in?" Zhong Xicheng wondered.

"Give me the porridge, you go back." Zhong Haochen took the porridge and closed the door.

Zhong Xicheng: "?????"

After thinking for a while, Zhong Haochen opened the door and took out a few photos of Grandpa Mao from his wallet:

"Take a taxi home and be careful."

"Oh..." Zhong Xicheng replied in a daze.

Is my brother so busy at work?

"Bang~"

The door was closed again.

Carrying the porridge to the kitchen, he looked up at the direction of the stairs, guessing that Chi Xu hadn't woken up yet.

Zhong Haochen put the porridge on the dining table, and returned to the sofa to read a book.

In fact, I can't see anything at all.

In the guest room not far upstairs lived Chi Xu.

How could he see it?

Thinking about Zhong Xicheng, Zhong Haochen considered for the first time whether it was necessary to let his family know his orientation in advance.

Chi Xu, who was woken up by the phone at eight o'clock, walked down the stairs in a daze.

"Are you awake? Are you hungry?" Zhong Haochen put down his book, got up and walked to the stairs.

Chi Xu was wearing the long trousers and long sleeves he changed last night, and his fluffy and messy hair was scuffed out of shape, but it unexpectedly gave him a lazy and leisurely beauty.

Xu Shi was already good-looking, even with a slovenly appearance, he couldn't resist his own charm in the slightest.

"Uncle, you got up so early!" Chi Xu rubbed his hair again.

"Bring you toiletries, brush your teeth, wash your face and eat." Zhong Haochen's hands were itchy, and he rubbed Chi Xu's soft hair.

The moment of contact, like a sudden electric shock, Zhong Haochen's heart trembled.

"Thank you, Uncle." Following Zhong Haochen's gaze, Chi Xu took the new toothbrush cup, toothbrush and toothpaste on the coffee table, went upstairs again, and muttered:

"The cup is quite cute. I didn't expect my uncle's eyes to be so childish."

Zhong Haochen: "..."

Thinking of the toothbrush cup that I went to the opposite supermarket to buy early in the morning, the word "childish" really hit him a little bit.

After Chi Xu finished washing and sat at the dining table, Zhong Haochen had already set breakfast.

A big pot of spare rib fish porridge, fried dough sticks, steamed buns, poached eggs, and even fried noodles.

"Eat whatever you want."

"So rich!"

The voices of the two sounded at the same time, and then they looked at each other and smiled.

"Well, uncle, this porridge is delicious." Chi Xu took a sip of pork rib fish porridge. The fish fillets were delicious and tender, and the rice grains were soft and glutinous, giving it a particularly good taste.

"Then drink more." Zhong Haochen felt warm in his heart.

Perhaps, in the future, I can often go home and take a look, and bring some porridge back by the way.

"Slept well last night?"

"Well, it's good. Much more comfortable than the school."

Speaking of this, I don't know if he thought of something, Chi Xu hesitated a little:

"That...uncle, tell me, I'm back in the dormitory, how should I face my roommate? I'm a little... don't know what to do?"

"How do you feel about your roommate?" Zhong Haochen tightened his grip on the spoon.

"What does it feel like? Just a roommate! He's a man!" Chi Xu curled his lips and continued to drink porridge.

"En." Zhong Haochen agreed, feeling a little uncomfortable.

This means that Chi Xu doesn't like men, does it?

"So, uncle, you are well-informed, give me some advice."

Zhong Haochen: "..."

"Do you... have someone you like?" Zhong Haochen's tone was low, his eyes were staring ahead, and he didn't know where to focus his gaze.

"Hmm..." Chi Xu hesitated:

"It stands to reason that it doesn't seem to be."

Zhong Haochen suddenly relaxed.

But the next second,

"But my mother really wants me to fall in love quickly. So, in order to avoid being nagged, I can't stay single all the time."

Chi Xu was thoughtful:

"By the way, uncle, don't you have a girlfriend? Teach me some experience in dating girls?"

Zhong Haochen: "..."

He doesn't have a girlfriend!

Really do not have!

"I think you've misunderstood! I don't have a girlfriend."

"Ah? That Sister Qingmu..." Chi Xu was a little dazed.

"It's just a neighbor in my hometown." Zhong Haochen didn't want to explain too much, so he changed the subject:

"About your roommate... If you don't like it, you can refuse it directly, there is no need to avoid it."

"But, that's my roommate. Would it be too embarrassing to refuse directly? He called me a lot last night and this morning, but I didn't dare to answer it. "

Chi Xu looked at the phone beside him, feeling a little helpless.

"Follow your own will! Don't force it!" Zhong Haochen glanced at Chi Xu's cell phone.

He told Chi Xu not to force it, but in fact, wasn't he also suppressing his emotions?

"Oh~" Chi Xu nodded half understanding!

"Your mother, why do you really want you to fall in love? You are still young, in fact, there is no need to worry about falling in love." Zhong Haochen glanced at the opposite side from the corner of his eye, and buried his head in his porridge.

"Hey... It's not because of..." Chi Xu paused:

"Forget it, don't talk about that."

Next, the two quickly finished their breakfast.

Because Chi Xu didn't have any clothes to change and felt like he wanted to escape, seeing that Zhong Haochen didn't say anything to drive him away, he naturally stayed at his house.

"The clothes are estimated to be dry in the afternoon. If you are in a hurry, you can use the drying function."

"No need." Chi Xu hurriedly stopped:

"My mother said that clothes that dry naturally are the most comfortable to wear."

"Ah."

Having nothing to do, Chi Xu meets Zhong Xicheng who just got home by taxi to play games.

"I'm stuck here, wait." Zhong Xicheng's voice came from the opposite side.

"Hahahahaha, let's take turns, the internet speed here is really good. I'll go to develop first." Chi Xu gloated.

Zhong Haochen heard it in his ears, and felt inexplicably sweet in his heart.

It was not in vain that he chose the maximum traffic package at the beginning.

In the afternoon, Zhong Haochen was sitting on the single sofa reading a book, while Chi Xu was lying on the couch playing games.

No interference with each other, a piece of leisure.

Occasionally, Zhong Haochen made a glass of juice and handed it to Chi Xu. The time passed quickly, and in the blink of an eye, it was night.

This time, Zhong Haochen didn't order takeaway. Instead, he used the ingredients he bought at noon to cook fat beef in sour soup and fried beef river for Chi Xu himself.

With a cup of ice-cold matcha Frappuccino, Chi Xu had a very happy dinner.

However, thinking of going back to the dormitory soon, Chi Xu's expression darkened instantly.

"We have to face it." Zhong Haochen seemed to see through Chi Xu's thoughts.

"Well, you're right! That's my dormitory! I can't keep going back."

Then, arrogantly, he opened the door and walked out, and pressed the elevator without looking back.

The room returned to calm, Zhong Haochen seemed a little unaccustomed to it.

Shaking his head amusingly, he always felt a little hypocritical.

Didn't the days when Chi Xu didn't come live by himself?

In the evening, I took a shower and lay on the bed with a book, which I couldn't bear to read.

I don't know how Chi Xu will make it clear to his roommate.

I don't even know why his mother insisted on him falling in love.

Back at his parents' house the next day, Zhong Haochen talked with his grandma, and after lunch, he came to Zhong Xicheng's room with Nao Nao in his arms.

"Brother, why don't you take me back later? How about taking me back to school?" Zhong Xicheng blinked at Zhong Haochen.

"En!" Zhong Haochen nodded, and found a place to sit down at random:

"Are you in love?"

"Huh?" Zhong Xicheng was taken aback.

Does his brother seem to care about him recently?

As expected of a brother!

"No, falling in love is too troublesome. I don't even have personal freedom. My classmate often plays games with me. Before that guy talked, he felt that he was chased by girls and ran around. Eh~ It's scary! "

"What do you mean? Is it so scary to fall in love?" Zhong Haochen turned his eyes slightly, stroking Nao Nao's soft fur.

"Originally, it's not scary for a man and a woman to fall in love. But my classmate is handsome and rich, so it's okay if he doesn't want to fall in love. I don't know what happened recently, but he even said that he wants to fall in love. That's okay. In our college alone, there are quite a few girls chasing him. Either they have to drag him to eat, or they want to buy milk tea and drink together, and they are still next to my classmates in class. That scene... tsk tsk..."

"Girls now take the initiative." Zhong Haochen said sourly.

"That's right, brother, don't forget about Sister Qingmu, I think she is very active and pretty. Oh, brother, how are you and Sister Qingmu doing now?" Zhong Xicheng gossiped look.

"It's not like that, and it won't be like that in the future."

"Ah? But yesterday I saw Sister Qingmu calling grandma to say hello. I thought..." Zhong Xicheng was a little puzzled.

"Understood." Zhong Haochen said calmly, but felt a little helpless in his heart.

That Qing Mu didn't seem to give up.

"Xixi, would you date a girl?"

"Huh? If you don't fall in love with girls, who will you fall in love with?" Zhong Xicheng was inexplicably asked.

"It's okay. Just ask casually." Zhong Haochen felt relieved.

Although he has a mediocre relationship with his parents, after all, he is also a child of the Zhong family.

Zhong Xicheng will be with women, and his pressure will be less.

"Brother, you are a little strange today." Zhong Xicheng looked at his brother curiously, not even seeing Chi Xu inviting him to play games.

"It's nothing, let's play games." Zhong Haochen glanced at his mobile phone and saw the WeChat message.

From Chi Xu, just three words:

"Game, come."

When Zhong Haochen left, Zhong Xicheng looked at his brother's back thoughtfully.

For several days, Chi Xu did not contact Zhong Haochen again.

And he, because of his busy schedule and personality, didn't take the initiative to ask about Chi Xu's affairs.

It's just that occasionally when I'm free, I can't help but look through Chi Xu's circle of friends to see if there are any new developments.

Suddenly, Lin Yiyi's circle of friends updated a message:

"My brother is so pitiful!"

There are no accompanying pictures, no more text descriptions, just five words, but it affects Zhong Haochen's restless heart.

What happened to Chi Xu?

Without thinking too much, Zhong Haochen commented below:

"What's the matter kid?"

On the other side, Lin Yiyi looked triumphant, raised her eyebrows, and sighed secretly:

"I know that uncle has ulterior motives for my brother! Hmph!"
