How to Feed a Vampire

Yan Jie ate two Lantern Festivals and went to work contentedly. Liu Yuan relaxed for a moment, and finally could no longer hide his emotions.He has been with Yan Jie for more than a year, but he has never been so tired like today.Not only do you have to avoid some topics in front of him, but you also have to pretend that nothing happened.

He took a shower and changed into clean clothes tiredly, climbed onto Yan Jie's neatly made bed with some greed, pulled the quilt and lay down in it.The exhaustion seemed to hit him all at once, and without waiting for him to think more, it deprived him of all his remaining thoughts.When I opened my eyes again, it was almost six o'clock in the evening.

"Are you awake?" Yan Jie's voice sounded behind him, Liu Yuan blinked his eyes, turned over in a daze, and stood next to him.

"Hmm... you're off work...?"

"I've been home for a while." Yan Jie lay down and touched the corners of Liu Yuan's eyes: "Were you crying again?"

Liu Yuan was taken aback and opened his eyes.Yan Jie looked close at hand, with a very calm expression.It turned out that he knew everything at all, but pretended to be deaf and dumb.

"I'm sorry for my mother," he said.

"Stop those unrealistic thoughts."

"What is an unrealistic idea? Why are you so selfish." Liu Yuan frowned: "I..."

"You have concerns, why are you still wearing the ring back home?" Yan Jie clasped Liu Yuan's hand, and pulled it in front of the two of them: "It's stuck due to thermal expansion and cold contraction, so I can't take it off?"

"Correct!"

"..."

"Yan Jie, my mother gave me 50 yuan." Liu Yuan said, "She hasn't moved a single cent of the money I sent back over the years. Do you know? It can collapse. But she is reluctant to change it, and keeps every penny for me..."

Yan Jie didn't speak, but just hugged Liu Yuan.

"She saved me money and wanted me to marry a daughter-in-law and buy a house in the city. She never agreed to my request to live in the city, but she promised that if I had a child, she would go to the city to help me take care of it. The more Liu Yuan said, the more sad he became: "She insisted not to go to the city with me, and she said that as long as I was happy, she would be fine with everything, but she couldn't accept you at all in her heart, let alone her son. man."

Yan Jie's breath was very light and steady, as if he didn't respond to Liu Yuan's words at all.He just listened quietly, without interrupting a word.

"I'm sorry for her, and I'm sorry for you."

"Finished?"

"It's over."

Yan Jie loosened Liu Yuan, looked at him and said word by word: "Liu Yuan, come with me to England to marry."

"Why?" Liu Yuan didn't understand: "My mother said so much, why are you still...!"

"Are you going?" Yan Jie asked seriously, without any intention of joking: "Do you want to break up with me, or marry me in England?"

"I……"

"Liu Yuan, you have to trust me." Yan Jie's tone was extremely gentle, rubbing every word into Liu Yuan's heart: "When you have no idea, why don't you try to rely on me."

Liu Yuan didn't know when he fell asleep later, but he slept peacefully this time, and the sadness he had been feeling all this time seemed to have disappeared.Looking at the clock, at eight o'clock in the morning, Yan Jie should have started working.He remembered the last words Yan Jie said to him before he lost consciousness: Why don't you try to rely on me.

Liu Yuan took the phone, opened Yan Jie's dialog box in WeChat, and typed slowly: I'm a man, is it right to rely on you all the time?

Yan Jie seldom looks at his mobile phone when he goes to work, and he works hard. He usually doesn't receive the information in the morning until noon.But today is different, and he replied in seconds: I am happy to pamper you, can you control it?

"Crazy..." Although Liu Yuan cursed, he somewhat understood where this reassuring energy came from.

Woke up and made the bed, washed and tidied my hair.The person in the mirror looked haggard, but he was still clean and handsome. Liu Yuan pulled himself together, gave himself a nine, grabbed the keys and went to work.

Yan Jie bought a movie ticket on his mobile phone and chose a movie theater not far from the rich man.Considering that Liu Yuan got off work at two o'clock, but I had to be later than him, so I bought the gold field at seven o'clock in the evening, and planned to have dinner together before going slowly.After receiving the verification code, send a screenshot to Liu Yuan: If you arrive early, you can get the ticket first.

In the past, Liu Yuan never replied.Yan Jie knew the rule that mobile phones were not allowed in the kitchen, and waited until noon for dinner, when Liu Yuan called directly: "Yan Jie, I won't be going at night, add an order!"

Yan Jie was very sorry, but he didn't say anything: "That's a pity."

"I didn't take a break at noon, so I sneaked out to call you right now." Liu Yuan's voice was quite anxious, and the noise from the side was also loud: "It's okay, I won't tell you anymore, I'm busy, you remember to refund the ticket It's gone!"

With that said, the phone was disconnected.

Of course Yan Jie didn't really care about the two tickets, and put the phone in the drawer, as if nothing happened.He got off work on time and drove home directly. He just took off his clothes and was about to take a shower and rest, but Liu Yuan's call came: "Have you got your ticket refunded?"

"Oh, I forgot." Yan Jie pretended to be stupid, and turned on the shower: "Forget it, it's okay, I just got home."

"No, I want to say that if you don't return, should I hurry up?" Liu Yuan asked tentatively: "Didn't you buy it at seven o'clock?"

"Ah." Yan Jie turned off the shower when he heard that there was something going on, "Didn't you add an order?"

"Fuck, I really stayed with him so late! Just one table to try dishes, and you have to surround yourself with a dozen people like serving the emperor?" Liu Yuan's voice sounded quite angry, but it made Yan Jie laugh.

"Okay, what time can you leave then?"

"I guess I have to leave at seven, but you're close to me, so don't look around for half an hour." Liu Yuan said, "Don't come to pick me up, I can't estimate the time, and you will still be stuck in traffic. Just buy something to eat and wait for me at the movie theater, just leave the ticket with the ticket inspector."

"Okay." Yan Jie agreed.He hung up the phone and looked at his phone. It was almost 05:30. After thinking about it, he decided to take a shower before going out. The clothes he changed would not fit anymore, and the clean ones were awkward. Anyway, Liu Yuan must be late Yes, what is he in a hurry for?

Packed up and went out, bought Liu Yuan's favorite food along the way, waited to park the car and went to the cinema to pick up the tickets, it was exactly [-]:[-], and I picked it up very accurately.On a whim, Yan Jie piled up all the things and sent them to Liu Yuan: "It's all done, I'm missing you."

Liu Yuan replied, Yan Jie put his ear to listen: I'm fucking stuck on the road!Don't rush!

Yan Jie smiled, and said back to him: Don't wait for you to arrive just after a performance?

——It is possible.

Liu Yuan was a little depressed when he was stuck in the road, and felt that he might be faster by running than by being stuck.In fact, the distance was not long, and he hurried to get out at 40 o'clock. He didn't expect that the road that was supposed to arrive in half an hour was blocked for more than [-] minutes, and it was still a short distance away.He was cruel, gritted his teeth, and finally jumped out of the car after reaching a stop and decided to run.

Yan Jie bought the last row of seats. After checking the tickets and entering the arena, he found that the last row, which was usually not visited by anyone, was actually full.

Looking at the vacant seats around him, he took out his mobile phone and typed: My row is full, and you are the only one missing.

Then a sentence burst out from the receiver: Damn it is here!

Yan Jie could hear Liu Yuan running, so he stopped urging him. The movie started on time and lasted for about 10 minutes. Liu Yuan was finally late.

"Fuck... I've run all the way in this life..." The weather was very cold, but he was sweating profusely.Yan Jie handed him a pack of tissues: "Wipe."

"I'm hungry, and I'm in a hurry to go to the market." Liu Yuan didn't care about watching the movie anymore. He took the burger and mineral water that Yan Jie handed him, and took half a bottle of it. Two mouthfuls finished half of the burger.He wolfed down and managed to slow down, and then turned his attention to the movie: "What did you say earlier?"

"It's nothing, it's not important."

"Oh." Liu Yuan really believed it.He ate the popcorn that Yan Jie gave him, and he was completely immersed in the plot when he watched it, but Yan Jie didn't have any thoughts on the screen, so he turned to him and asked, "Do you know why you have to eat popcorn when watching a movie?" ?”

"I don't know." Liu Yuan didn't even turn his head.

Yan Jie put his hand into the popcorn container and held Liu Yuan's hand.Liu Yuan finally came to his senses: "What are you doing..."

"I've booked a flight back to England in three months." Yan Jie looked at him and said with a smile, "You're the only one missing."
