thirsty

Lu Xun went all the way south, found an airport in a coastal city, arrived in Taipei, and then traveled all the way to a nearby small county.

He stood across the old street and looked at the unpretentious two-story building in front of him. Taiwan in summer is moist and gentle, just like those old songs from Hong Kong and Taiwan, full of unique spring and years breath.

The clear and faint tea fragrance came out from the door and drifted into the dry and hot air.

An old woman in her sixties came out of the door, with a kind face, wearing glasses, counting tea leaves intently in the sun.

She vaguely saw the person coming, but probably didn't see clearly, she opened her eyes and looked carefully for a while.

"Ah Xun?" The old woman came closer and waved to him.

Lu Xun hurried over and put his arm around her shoulder: "Grandma."

"It's really you?" Grandma couldn't believe it anymore, she held his hand excitedly and stared at him repeatedly, "Why haven't you come here for two years, Grandma misses you so much!"

"Yes." Lu Xun was very happy to see him. Every time he came here, he would go through some ideological struggles. He was afraid that he would forget the address, that his grandmother would forget him, or that he had already left.

He didn't intend to come here originally, but he came here inexplicably by a strange coincidence.

"Come in," Grandma pulled him into the house, and shouted inside, "Old man, Ah Xun is here!"

"Who is it?" The old man sitting in the room put down the newspaper and looked up, probably not remembering him.

The old man sized her up for a long while before asking doubtfully, "Ah Xun?"

"You old idiot, I told you so!" Grandma grabbed the tea in her hand and went into the kitchen to boil water.

"Yes?" The old man finally believed it, "What a young man, your grandma looks forward to you all day long!"

Lu Xun sat down and smiled.

He came here aimlessly, and didn't think about buying some gifts for the two old people, and felt a little embarrassed.

Before the age of 15, in Australia, whenever my mother went to work, she would be entrusted to take care of her neighbors.

The neighbor is a Chinese family, and his son and daughter-in-law have to go to work during the day, so Lu Xun was almost brought up by two old people in the neighbor's family.

Later, the two elderly people returned to China and settled down in their hometown of Taiwan Province.

"Are you still doing your old job now?" The old man leaned a little closer to him.

"Yes, Grandpa." He replied respectfully.

"I've heard it's a dangerous job!" said the old man.

Lu Xun smiled: "It's okay."

"What work are you talking about?" Grandma came out of the kitchen and took his hand. "Is my grandson married and having children?"

"Not yet," he replied honestly, "I'll try."

"Yes," the old man also echoed, "If you have a child in the future, you must bring it to grandpa and grandma to have a look!"

He likes this kind of atmosphere, which is harmonious, relaxed, and warm, wrapping him like a hug.

"Why would you think of coming to see us this time? You didn't come back last Chinese New Year." Grandma said, pretending to be angry, as if she was acting like a baby.

"This time the vacation is still relatively long, so here we come." Lu Xun said, silently thanking Xiao Xiao for helping him apply for such a long sick leave.

He wanted to stay here for a few days, but he couldn't find any particular reason. If there must be, it might be to escape the familiar environment.

The city began to rain without warning. There may be warning signs, but Bai Shen didn't pay much attention.

After hesitating for a few days, he still called Xiao Xiao and asked him if he knew where Lu Xun had gone.

Xiao Xiao asked: "Did he stay with you the day before he left?"

Bai Shen nodded.

"Are you dumb?" Xiao Xiao didn't wait for an answer for a long time, and glanced at the phone inexplicably.

"Oh, yes." Bai Shen said.

"Then don't worry, he just wants to stay by himself for a while, so he doesn't need to look for it." Xiao Xiao said calmly, and Bai Shen really felt more at ease after listening.

He went to the supermarket and bought two big tongue sorbets. Last time he saw this in Lu Xun's refrigerator, he really wanted to eat it. It wasn't that ripe at the time, so he felt embarrassed to grab it and eat it.

I'm not very familiar with each other now, but after spending more time together, I always feel that the relationship has changed inexplicably.

Especially that...kiss, even though Bai Shen didn't want to admit it, it really happened.He guessed that Lu Xun regarded him as the flirtatious ex-boyfriend he met in the supermarket last time.

According to what that brother Yan said, Lu Xun should not like his type.

This kind of thing, the more I think about it, the more I can't figure it out, Bai Shen quickly stopped the car and didn't think about it when he understood now.

After eating two forgiving sorbets, Bai Shen felt hot and cold all over his body, the outside wind mixed with raindrops drifted into the room, a burst of coolness made him shiver.

I was a little dizzy for a moment.

He didn't even need to think about it with his toes, he could be sure that he should have a fever, as it often happens when the temperature changes suddenly.

But he still prefers to blame it on the two long-tongued sorbets, or trace it back to the instigator Lu Xun.

At night, the doorbell suddenly rang, and Bai Shen, who was slumped on the sofa after dinner and didn't want to wash the dishes, was shocked.

When the door was opened, a child rushed in and jumped onto him: "Father!"

The little boy's voice was still very thin, and when he roared, Bai Shen felt that half of his ears were deaf.

"Hey!" He looked at the young woman standing at the door, and was very pleasantly surprised, "Chuchu, come in quickly, why are you here?"

"A high school classmate of mine is getting married. I'm coming back to attend her wedding. Tomorrow you will help me take care of the baby." The woman named Chuchu changed her shoes and walked into the living room, seeing the bowl on the table, "Did you just eat?"

"Well," Bai Shen suddenly felt a little ashamed, picked up the bowl and ran into the kitchen, "I'll go wash it quickly."

"Bai Shen, I'll come." Chu Chu took the apron from the armrest of the sofa and put it on herself, "You and Rarity play for a while, he misses you."

Bai Shen didn't refuse. He and Chuchu have been friends for many years, so they are not so unfamiliar and polite. What's more, he really doesn't want to wash the dishes now.

"It seems that we haven't seen each other for more than half a year." Bai Shen hugged Rarity and sat on the sofa, and Little Platinum happily ran over and jumped to his side.

At night Chuchu sleeps in his room with Ruirui, and Baishen sleeps on the sofa.Little Platinum Pidianpidian ran over and lay down obediently next to his head.

"Be courteous for nothing," Bai Shen sighed, his voice was hoarse, "You can't pour me a glass of water."

Little Platinum barked twice very cooperatively.

Chuchu went to help her classmates prepare the wedding banquet early the next morning, but Bai Shen's fever was getting worse and worse, and she stayed awake all the time.In the end, Rarity dressed obediently and walked to the living room, and climbed onto the chair to grab a handful of dog food for the little Platinum who was waiting to be fed.

"Dad." Rarity yelled as she sat on the ground and struggled to break her milk powder can.

"..." Bai Shen heard it, but his dull brain didn't react, and he was still lying motionless.

"Dad, the doorbell is ringing." Rarity walked up to him, grabbed his clothes with her small hands and pushed them twice.

Bai Shen finally came to his senses, brushed up the messy hair on his forehead, and tried to sit up.He just realized that he was not wearing pajamas. Before taking a shower last night, he stumbled out a white T-shirt from the closet. After a closer look, it was the one that Lu Xun had written on.The black marker is still clearly left on the lower left hem.

Rarity waited quietly for 5 seconds with eyes that hated iron and steel, and found that Bai Shen didn't move much at all, stared at him like a little adult and shook his head, sighed, and had to tiptoe to open the door by himself.

Lu Xun didn't know why he came here as soon as he got off the plane. After all, his home was much closer to the airport, but he came here somehow.

He knocked for a long time before opening the door, but it was a kid who opened the door, and the two stood there staring at the door.

Rarity ran in quickly, and Lu Xun took two steps back to look at the house number.

You didn't go wrong, did you go wrong in the neighborhood?

Xiao Baijin ran over without knowing why, and cried out excitedly when he smelled Lu Xun's body.

Only then did he enter the door with confidence, and called out, "Bai Shen?"

Rarity continued to sit back on the floor and broke her milk powder can, put her index finger in front of her mouth, and said decently: "Shhh! Daddy hasn't woken up yet."

Lu Xun saw Bai Shen lying on the sofa, and he didn't see clearly until he sat next to his head.

"Why are you sweating? The temperature has dropped in the past two days." Lu Xun said, reaching out to touch his forehead, it was surprisingly hot.

Bai Shen opened his eyes and looked at him with difficulty: "Eh? Where have you been these few days?"

Hearing the deep voice of his Mongolian uncle who could catch up with Humai in the grassland, Lu Xun hurriedly got up to pour a glass of water.

"I went to Taipei once." He said, and after he finished speaking, he realized that it didn't matter whether he said it or not, and Bai Shen didn't intend to listen to his answer, so he fell into the sofa and continued to sleep like a dead pig.

He went to the bathroom and grabbed a wet towel to wipe off his sweat. He searched the living room to find a thermometer.

"What do you mean by putting the thermometer in the flower pot?" Lu Xun looked at the two thermometers in the pot of green radish that were tightly covered by leaves, if he hadn't been impatient looking for them just now, he would have picked off the leaves as if venting his anger , are not found.

Little Platinum barked next to him, wagging his tail excitedly as if claiming credit.

"You did it, I understand." Lu Xun took off the shell of one of them and took Bai Shen's temperature.

"Are you hungry?" Lu Xun walked up to Rarity who had given up breaking the milk powder box, "Brother is here to make you some milk."

In fact, he didn't know how to do it at all, he just helped to break off the lid of the can, and he didn't understand anything else.

When Ruirui finally drank the milk, Lu Xun walked up to Bai Shen and took down the thermometer.

"Amazing," he praised, "40 degrees, this is the first time I've seen it in my life."

Bai Shen felt tired all of a sudden, and didn't bother to argue with him.

"I remember you bought a medicine box last time," Lu Xun said, then suddenly remembered, "Oh, it's at my house. But you have to have it no matter what, you're a doctor."

"I'm just a psychiatrist." Bai Shen felt the qi and blood stagnant in his chest, and if it wasn't for his lack of strength, he really wanted to punch him. "Could it be possible to have an operating table at home?"

"Okay," Lu Xun pulled him up and sat down, bringing a large cup of hot water to his mouth directly, "After drinking this cup, he's still a good man."

Bai Shen thought that if he finished drinking, he couldn't smash you to death with a cup.

He drank it all in one gulp, and Rarity finished his milk too, and came over to look at them with her head tilted.

"Ruirui, brother Lu Xun," Bai Shen said, turning to Lu Xun who was supporting him, "This is my son."

"Oh." Lu Xun responded.

Ok? !

That's right, the kid called him daddy from the very beginning.

"You you you..." Lu Xun stuttered in shock.

"It's from a friend's house." Bai Shen didn't bother to explain carefully at the moment.

"Oh...Eh? You asked him to call me brother?" Lu Xun clicked his tongue and threw Bai Shen back on the sofa with a throw of his hand.

"You said that yourself just now, my brother will give you some milk," Bai Shen laughed, "Call me daddy quickly."
