Two pots of water

Quickly going down to the garage, Jiang Chu looked at the light coming out of the car window, hesitated for a moment, didn't get in the car directly from the driver's seat, but went around to the passenger side first, opened the car door and glanced at Tan Zui.

"Puppy?" He called out and patted Tan Zui's face lightly.

This time, Tan Zui didn't smoke in the car, didn't kick the trash can, and even digested the emotions he suppressed at the dinner table just now, and just waited in the car silently.

Hearing Jiang Chu calling him, he curled up the corner of his mouth, showing a faint smile, looked at Jiang Chu and said, "How did you get that name?"

"You look like that." Seeing Tan Zui's reaction, Jiang Chu heaved a sigh of relief and felt distressed at the same time. He rubbed Tan Zui's leg twice, and threw the whole stick of cigarettes from Jiang Liantian to him. he.

Driving out of Jiangliantianjia Community, Jiang Chu stopped at the intersection and asked Tan Zui, "Shall we go home directly? Or go to the movies?"

"Huh?" Qin didn't know what he was in a daze for. He glanced at Jiang Chu before he realized, "Anything is fine, as you like."

The corner of Jiang Chu's mouth twitched, wanting to say something, looking at Tan's most emotionless side face, he couldn't organize his words for a while.

"Then let's watch a movie, haven't you bought all the tickets?" He turned the steering wheel, "Is it the theater we just passed by?"

"Yes." Tan Zui nodded.

Qin Zui bought a ticket for [-]:[-], and they were just about to start checking tickets when they passed by.

"Popcorn?" Jiang Chu pointed to the popcorn machine.

"Don't eat." Tan was the least interested.

Jiang Chu didn't like to eat these either, but he wanted to coax Tan to be the happiest today, so he bought a big bucket of popcorn and paired it with two big glasses of Coke.

"If you spend another thirty, you will get a Christmas hat and antlers... Do you want it?" Stuffing a bunch of food into Tan Zui's arms, Jiang Chu asked him in a low voice while staring at the promotional sign next to the counter.

"What's the matter with you." A bunch of couples or parents with children were changing hats there, and Tan Zui was almost helpless at the first glance, "It's all spent thirty, is that a gift?"

"Why are you acting like a straight man? You have no interest at all." Jiang Chu said "tsk" righteously, "You don't care how it is marketed, just say whether you want it or not."

Tan Zui looked at Jiang Chu for a while, and said honestly, "I don't want to."

"Okay." Jiang Chu couldn't help laughing.

He really couldn't imagine Tan Zui wearing a Santa hat to watch a movie.

But when the two of them went to the ticket gate to line up, Tan Zui suddenly asked again: "If I want it, will you buy it?"

"Well, buy it." Jiang Chu looked at the ticket in his hand and looked for the theater, "I will buy whatever you want."

He raised his chin across the floor: "Choose."

"It's so wide." Qin Zui said.

"There's nothing wrong with raising you." Jiang Chu said, "Just put your heart in your hips and live safely with me."

Tan Zui stared at him for a while, then suddenly squeezed two popcorns and stuffed them into Jiang Chu's mouth, and wiped the corner of Jiang Chu's mouth with his thumb.

Then, before he was beaten, he took out the ticket from Jiang Chu's hand, stepped forward and handed it to the ticket inspector.

Tan's favorite movie is a comedy, the cast is okay, the plot isn't that great, it's quite silly, and he can still laugh out loud by scratching his armpit twice.

It's just that even Jiang Chu was tickled and laughed three times, and Qin Zui didn't respond all the time.

Jiang Chu turned his head to look at him. Through the lenses and the dim light, Tan Zui's eyes were blocked by the 3D glasses, and he couldn't see the eyes, and the lower half of his face showed no emotion at all.

It should be because he didn't want to let himself worry about spoiling the fun, so when Jiang Chu asked just now, he was willing to come and watch the movie, but he was still not in the mood.

Jiang Chu sighed in his heart. Actually, he doesn't know how to comfort others, and he doesn't know what to say to Tan Zui in this situation. He feels that it is useless to say anything.

Tan Shuman's attitude is there, and her past experience is truly indelible, and Tan Zui is the brand of proof.

No matter how much the mother and son usually avoid each other, as long as they meet, the effect of "mutual harm" will inevitably be produced.

Before he left today, he took a last look at Tan Shuman. He felt that her condition was worse than the previous two meetings. Probably every meeting with Tan Zui ended in a bad relationship, and it was also very anxious for her.

A mother who can't be a mother.

A child who has hardly felt a mother's love.

When my mother asked Jiang Chu about Tan Shuman earlier, she asked half-jokingly: "What if she gives birth to a younger brother for you later?"

Jiang Chu laughed and interrupted and passed away. Compared with his mother's worries, Tan Shuman is not too old now. He has been married to Jiang Liantian for several years and has not had children. He is actually quite strange.

Thinking about it now, maybe Tan Shuman has always had an indelible psychological pressure on being a "mother".

Jiang Liantian should be comforting Tan Shuman right now.

Jiang Chu didn't know how the two of them would get along and what they would say after he and Tan Zui left.

What he suddenly thought of was that with Jiang Liantian's protection of Tan Shuman, at least during the years when Tan Shuman avoided Tan Zui, Jiang Liantian must have given her incomparably tolerant comfort and understanding every time she was in pain.

And what about Qin Zui?

What can he get from that Jiu Mengzi's own father?

His emotions, his sadness, what else can he do besides holding back his emotions for ten years like this?

When I came back from my birthday last time, Tan Zui slept at home all afternoon.

Are you going to hold back like this today?

Jiang Chu didn't watch the second half of the movie, he was a little irritable when he was distracted, listening to the loud laughter in the theater, he still felt a little regretful.

He shouldn't have dragged Tan Zui over to watch a movie at this moment.

Throwing someone who has nowhere to vent their sadness among a crowd of laughing and laughing people and expecting him to have a good time is simply mental abuse.

"Puppy Zui," Jiang Chu pulled the armrest between the two of them, leaned over to Tan Zui and asked him in a low voice, "How about we go home?"

"What's the matter?" Tan Zui was already immune to Jiang Chu's messy address, and asked while turning his head and pressing his voice.

He turned around a bit too much, his nose almost poked Jiang Chu's face.

Jiang Chu backed away, pushed his glasses up along his hair, and looked at the screen again: "It's nothing interesting, why don't we go back and find a good movie to watch at home."

He thought Tan Zui would insist on reading it, but Tan Zui didn't hesitate at all, just said "OK", took off his glasses, got up and walked out.

Jiang Chu followed behind and looked at his back, if it wasn't inconvenient in the theater, he suddenly wanted to hug Tan Zui.

Jiang Chu made a good plan on the way home. He bought a bunch of food, played a movie, and sat on the ground with the lights off to talk, just like the last time he made up the cake for Tan Zui.

He wanted to try to get Tan Zuo to take the initiative to confide, at least he could talk to himself when he had something on his mind.

In the end, he thought very well, bought food and drink, and he always felt that something was wrong when he entered the community.

"Why is it so dark today?" Jiang Chu glanced at the side of the road, "Are the street lights broken?"

"The power is out." Qin Zui pointed to their building. It was just after eight o'clock, and it was not time to go to bed at this point, and the windows were all black.

Jiang Chu said "ah", parked the car and went to the elevator and pressed it, it was true.

"I posted something." Tan Zui took out his mobile phone and pointed at the newly posted A4 paper next to the elevator, "Maintenance, until 10:30 in the evening."

"Let's go up." Jiang Chu turned and pushed open the door of the emergency stairs, "I'm very happy to buy the lower floor at this time."

"Will you be here when you get married in the future?" Tan Zui asked suddenly, carrying food behind him.

"Huh?" Jiang Chu paused, and turned to look at him, "Why are you like my dad, thinking further than me."

Qin was silent.

Jiang Chu didn't continue this topic, he really didn't think about getting married, Jiang Liantian told him in the study room that after he got married and had a child, he felt like he was talking about other people's affairs.

Many times Jiang Chu felt that he was quite open-minded. Although Jiang Liantian and his mother had a fight every three days, one small fight and five days when he was a child, he grew up in a home that was either noisy or deserted, and he didn't understand the relationship between a couple. Even after the divorce, Jiang Chu didn't feel that the atmosphere of the family affected him so much.

He's a bit of a natural optimist.

However, when it comes to "marrying and starting a family", it may still have left him with the seeds of resistance invisibly.

Jiang Chu couldn't imagine himself as a husband and father. He always felt that it was another life, and it had nothing to do with him for at least ten years.

At the door of the house, before he took out the key, there was the sound of Zhou Teng slamming on the door.

Jiang Chu opened the door, guessing that the electricity has been out for a while, and the heating in the room is almost exhausted.

"Where did you put the leftover candles I gave you for your birthday last time?" Jiang Chu took off his coat and threw it on the sofa, and turned on the flashlight of his phone to find the candles.

He remembered that he put it in the TV cabinet, looked for it, and went to the study and bedroom to find it. His mobile phone was not charged today, and the flashlight made a "buzz" to remind him that the battery was low.

"Did you take it to your place? Come here and help me light up." Jiang Chu locked his phone, and went to his bedroom with Tan Zui.

When Jiang Chu was squatting in front of the bedside table and looking through the drawers, Tan Zui stood behind him and looked at his back, without speaking.

It may be that he returned to the place where he could really relax. The various emotions that had been suppressed at Tan Shuman's house and in the theater flowed out simultaneously in the relaxing darkness, making him feel tired from the inside out.

Jiang Chu could feel Tan Zui's mood. To be honest, he was relieved that Tan Zui released such a low pressure, at least he didn't hold himself back.

"Do you want to say something?" He asked Tan Zui softly without looking back.

The candle was still missing. Jiang Chu vaguely recalled that he had swept the table scraps and beer bottles into the trash bag, and the candle was probably thrown away together.

But he pulled out a lighter.

"Where did you get the lighter?" Jiang Chu clicked on the light, and raised his eyebrows, "Didn't I take all your cigarettes and lighters on the day you were cast..."

All confiscated?

Before he could finish the next three words, Jiang Chu heard the muffled sound of the phone being thrown on the bed, and the light of the flashlight that had been hanging over his head disappeared.

Just as he was about to turn around, his waist tightened, and Tan Zui knelt down behind him, putting his head against his vest and hugging him.

Jiang Chu was stunned for a moment, feeling Tan Zui's hand tightly twisted on his stomach from back to front, very hard, which made his stomach a little uncomfortable.

He didn't break free, the lighter burned his hand a little hot, the moment he let go of it, darkness enveloped his vision again, Tan Zui let go of a hand around his waist, and pushed his sweater and shirt from behind go up.

"...Tan Zui?" This action was beyond Jiang Chu's expectation. Just as he was about to turn around, his shoulder blades and spine suddenly went numb, and Tan Zui bit his back.

Bite hard, like a real puppy, with a burst of energy.
