know this [Ye Zhou]

Zhou Zekai followed Ye Xiu, feeling very anxious, just like all young people who try their best to make a good impression on the target's family, but are afraid of causing negative effects.Because of his shy nature and the same gender as his lover, the tension is a little bit more.

The two stepped up to the doorstep, and saw a man who looked exactly like Ye Xiu coming out to welcome him.He called out "Brother", then turned to Zhou Zekai: "Mr. Zhou, you have worked hard."

Zhou Zekai shook his head quickly, expressing that it was not hard work.Knowing that this was the genuine Ye Qiu, he couldn't help but stare a few more times.The man in front of him was dazzlingly handsome, no matter how he looked at it, he fit the public's definition of a successful person, but Zhou Zekai thought of all the embarrassing things Ye Xiu had said about his younger brother, so he had to lower his head and try his best to hold back smile.

Ye Xiu said, "Don't be so polite, he will get nervous. Just call Xiao Zhou."

Ye Qiu was furious: "It's really embarrassing of you to let the world champion drive for you."

Ye Xiu relaxed: "Your brother, I am also the world champion, okay?" He pressed Zhou Zekai's head: "I'm still the leader of the team."

Zhou Zekai nodded obediently, indicating that Ye Xiu was right.Ye Qiu once again lost the fight with Ye Xiu without any suspense. He turned around angrily and called Ye Xiu and Zhou Zekai to enter.

The three of them walked towards the living room, but their thoughts were quite different.

Ye Qiu thought, his brother really had learned better, and he was afraid of having another conflict with his parents, so he specially brought someone to ease the atmosphere.Xiao Zhou seems to be the type who is easy to please the elders, and this move is indeed very clever.

Zhou Zekai was moved by Ye Xiu's desire to bring him to meet his family.Even if the relationship cannot be disclosed at present, this move still has extraordinary significance for him.

But Ye Xiu thought more far-reaching.In his plan, sooner or later he would confess his relationship with Zhou Zekai to his family.It can be expected that the opposition from his parents will not be as strong as when he opposed him dropping out of school to play games.But now Ye Xiu is far more mature than when he was a teenager, and he knows that resolute methods cannot really solve the problem.This time, he is going to fight a long game patiently.Today, when he just won the world championship, letting his parents have a perfect first impression of Zhou Zekai can be said to be the best start.

Ye Qiu's guess was right, Ye's parents had a good impression of this handsome, well-behaved young world champion.Mother Ye also complained to Ye Xiu: "How dare you ask someone's child to drive for you."

Ye Xiu smiled: "I can't help it. I don't know how to drive. With your son's popularity now, it's not convenient to take a taxi."

Mother Ye glared at him: "You are not happy to tell someone to pick you up."

Ye Xiu said: "That's so troublesome. Besides, I brought him for Xiao Zhou's sake." He showed a bitter expression: "After eating in the hotel for more than a month, I almost vomited. .He can taste your culinary skills in just one drive, and make a lot of money."

Ye Muming knew that he was trying to make herself happy on purpose, but she was successfully coaxed: "Then you two should eat more later."

Ye Xiu immediately climbed up the pole: "It is necessary. Like Ye Qiu, he can eat less. I think it's time for him to start thinking about keeping in shape."

Ye Qiu, who lay innocently lying on the gun again: "..."

Most of the time at the dinner table, Ye Xiu was talking, telling various anecdotes about international competitions, teasing Ye Qiu and teasing Ye's mother from time to time, cleverly bypassing Ye's father's criticism and sarcasm, and not forgetting to give Zhou Ze Kaibu a cloth dish.After a meal, the atmosphere is harmonious and enjoyable.

Zhou Zekai listened silently.He could feel that the Ye family's parents were quite strict in their children's discipline, and Ye's father was a typical parent who couldn't express his feelings.He thought, Ye Xiu must have been stubborn when he was a teenager, that's why he ran away from home and broke up unhappy when he came back.Now Ye Xiu handles all the topics with ease, so that the family relationship can be repaired.Thinking of what kind of ups and downs he had endured in exchange for such growth, Zhou Zekai couldn't help but feel distressed, and secretly made up his mind to treat Ye Xiu better in the future.

After eating, Ye Xiu consciously cleaned up the dishes and went to the kitchen to clean them.Mother Ye pulled Zhou Zekai lovingly, and asked about his personal situation and criteria for choosing a spouse, as if she wanted to introduce someone to him.Zhou Zekai was in distress, Ye Xiu came out from the kitchen and rescued him: "Mom, I'll take Xiao Zhou to my room to have a look. We'll go back later, there are activities in the afternoon."

Zhou Zekai quickly stood up.Mother Ye shook her head: "Young people nowadays, when it comes to finding a partner, they can run faster than a rabbit. You see, your brothers are not young..."

Ye Xiu cut off the conversation decisively, and shifted the scope of hatred: "That's right, Ye Qiu is 28, it's time to find someone. You should find him quickly." He pushed Ye Qiu, who hadn't had time to escape, to the sofa where his mother was sitting. With a push, he gave Zhou Zekai a wink, and ran upstairs at a sprint speed.

As soon as Zhou Zekai entered Ye Xiu's room, he couldn't help laughing.

This room is decorated in a childlike way, and even the bed is a bunk bed for children.It's suitable for a teenager to live in, but it's too out of place for Ye Xiu to live in now.

He immediately thought, ah, this should be the room Ye Xiu lived in before he ran away from home. After he left for more than ten years, his family hadn't touched the layout of this room.

So, this is the bed that teenage Xiao Yexiu slept in...

Although he knew that the sheets and quilts must have been changed a long time ago, Zhou Zekai couldn't help but leaned over and touched the sheets before carefully sitting on them.

Ye Xiu thought Zhou Zekai like this was very cute, so he sat down and kissed him on the earlobe.He stretched himself, lay back, and sighed: "It's better to be at home. Although the bed is a bit smaller, it is much more intimate than the hotel bed."

Zhou Zekai nodded in agreement.

Ye Xiu rolled around on the bed: "It will be great if I can do it at home sometime."

Zhou Zekai bit his lip and suggested in a low voice, "Now?"

Ye Xiu glared at him: "Are you questioning my staying power? Do you know what consequences this will cause?"

Zhou Zekai blushed and stopped talking.

Ye Xiu put his arms around his waist and pulled him down on the bed with some strength. When I resolutely took my younger brother's luggage and left this room 13 years ago, I never imagined that one day I would come back here with my lover.

The two slowly approached each other, and under the witness of the old furniture in the room, they exchanged a gentle and long kiss quietly.

After participating in a series of celebration activities, the national team disbanded on the spot in City B on August 8, and the players returned to their clubs to report.Although the rotation system has been implemented, the consumption is still quite large after more than a month.Now that the game is over, everyone has turned their heads and become opponents for the league championship. No one wants to fall behind from the starting line.

When Zhou Zekai left, Ye Xiu didn't go to see him off.After returning to China, Ye Xiu became the busiest member of the national team. He not only had to participate in various activities as a player, but also attended various meetings of the General Administration of Sports and the league as a team leader.The International E-Sports Association and Glory Games Company are planning to use this World Invitational Tournament as a model to organize a regular World Championship, which will be held every two years and add a youth-level competition.As the champion of the first international competition, China still has a lot of work to do in establishing a long-term mechanism for the national team and the U18 national team.

Even though he was mentally prepared, Zhou Zekai was still a little disappointed when he sat on the flight leaving City B.As expected, it is easy to go from frugal to extravagant, but difficult to go from extravagant to frugal. After more than a month of getting along day and night, and then returning to the days when I could only rely on QQ for communication, the gap is too great.

But that night, he received a call from an unfamiliar number, and the voice on the receiver was all too familiar.Ye Xiu smiled and said, "Brother is a man with a family now, and he is about to bid farewell to the days of not having a mobile phone."

Zhou Zekai held the phone tightly, and his mood instantly brightened.

After the opening of the new season, while the teams were preparing for the battle, Ye Xiu also began to inspect and guide the training camps of the clubs as the team leader of the national team to prepare for the formation of the U18 national team.The first stop was Xingxin, the champion of last season.Xingxin's training camp has just started, Ye Xiu insisted on handing over all the prize money of the World Invitational Championship to Chen Guo, counting it as Jun Moxiao's buyout fee, and helped Wei Chen to do a lot of work, and soon gave Training camp is on track.

On the afternoon of September 9th, Zhou Zekai finished his routine training and just turned off his computer when he received a text message from Ye Xiu: "Xiao Zhou, come and pick me up at the door."

He trotted all the way to the entrance of the club. Ye Xiu was leaning against a tree with his luggage thrown at his feet, looking a little tired.Zhou Zekai went up to meet him in surprise, and asked him, "Why are you here?"

Ye Xiu said: "Xingxin has settled everything, I'm here to inspect the reincarnation training camp."

Zhou Zekai was puzzled: "Not contacting the club?"

Ye Xiu blinked: "It's been agreed a long time ago, I want to find a chance to sleep in your dormitory."

The heat on Zhou Zekai's face rose a little unconsciously.The relationship between the two of them is not what it used to be. Sleeping now is not the same meaning as sleeping in the past.

He led Ye Xiu back to the dormitory. Ye Xiu walked around and praised the living conditions of Samsara: "It's really good." However, he added: "Without a kitchen, it doesn't feel like a home. .”

Zhou Zekai nodded, although he slept here for most of the year, he really didn't feel like home.

Ye Xiu asked him, "Xiao Zhou, are you happy living with me?"

Zhou Zekai nodded vigorously: "Happy."

Ye Xiu asked again: "Do you want to live with me forever?"

Zhou Zekai nodded vigorously: "I think so."

Ye Xiu smiled: "That's good." He bent down, took out a real estate certificate and two keys from the middle of the luggage bag, and put them on the table together: "Then, let's live together."

The amount of information was too much, and Zhou Zekai, whose processor couldn't handle it, was stuck.

Ye Xiu rubbed his nose and seemed a little nervous. He said, "I work relatively freely now, and I can choose where I live. My family also agrees that it is better for me and the old man to create beauty from a distance. I go back and live a few times a year. That's enough. I think that although we can't get the certificate now, it's okay to create a fait accompli first. Even if I may have to travel from time to time, you have to go out to play games, and live together when you can. I trust I sold the house awarded by the state, and bought a second-hand house in Fang Minghua's community, and I can move in with my bags. But now I am so poor that I only have a house, and I can't afford food, so I have to rely on you to support me..."

Ye Xiu rambled on for a long time, but Zhou Zekai didn't listen to anything.Blinking his eyes, he tried his best to hold back the tears welling up, then stepped forward and hugged Ye Xiu tightly into his arms.

Ye Xiu's voice lowered, and after a while, he patted Zhou Zekai's back lightly, and concluded, "I mean, I love you."

Zhou Zekai buried his head in his shoulder: "Me too."

The heart that sprouted quietly at an unknown time gradually brewed into a strong love, which was conveyed courageously, and then, got the best response.

Extra Story Treat

"Trick or Treat!"

Wearing a miniature version of the official uniform of the Qing Dynasty, with a rune on his forehead and a small braid on the back of his head, the zombie Zhengtai suddenly jumped out of the corner and stretched out his hand to Han Wenqing who was passing by.

Ye Xiu, who was on the sidelines, looked at the purse face that was tense, with the word "Chuan" wrinkled between his brows, and couldn't help but gloated and laughed out loud.

Although Han Wenqing had a grim face, he reached into the pocket of his team uniform and took out a handful of chocolate beans.

Xiaozheng held the chocolate beans in his palm and ran away happily.

Ye Xiu, who had guessed the beginning but not the ending, sighed, "Even you, Old Han, betrayed the revolution..."

Han Wen pointed out coldly: "It's your own problem."

Ye Xiu insisted: "It's the costumer's fault!" He opened a slit in the bed sheet, exposing his bare thighs: "Look, I'm wearing a pair of underwear all over my body! There's no way to put anything in there!"

I don't know if it's because he thinks Ye Xiu won't be able to argue, or because he thinks this scene is too eye-catching, Han Wenqing didn't bother with him anymore, leaving Ye Xiu alone.

Ye Xiu scratched his head, feeling really troubled: "What should I do..."

Glory has always attached great importance to Christmas events, but this year it took a different approach. It chose Halloween to launch a large-scale dungeon, and even spent a lot of money to invite more than a dozen professional players to act as endorsements, pretending to be characters in the dungeon to shoot a promotional video.

Although there were actually two weeks before Halloween, the festive atmosphere at the filming scene was truly realistic. Lu Hanwen, the only minor present, happily played the game "Trick or Treat" and caught people everywhere.

Ye Xiu observed with great interest, wanting to see how the kid's ability to play tricks is.Unexpectedly, after Lu Hanwen asked all the way, everyone readily took out candies of various colors, and there was no chance for him to play a prank.

Ye Xiu asked Wang Jiexi in surprise, "Dayan, you actually carry candies with you? Don't you think the style of painting is wrong?"

The wizard with big and small eyes glanced at him: "Isn't it common sense to carry candy with you on Halloween? Since it's a Halloween promotional video, of course you have to prepare in advance."

Ye Xiu, who had no common sense and no preparation, let out a smoke ring depressedly.He wasn't afraid of Lu Hanwen's pranks, but if he couldn't give candies, the kids would be disappointed.He doesn't want to be the only villain on set.

However, with Han Wenqing around, the role of the villain might not be played by others.

...Ye Xiu, who was thinking like this, was immediately slapped in the face by reality.

While Ye Xiu was in distress, someone behind him patted him on the shoulder.

He turned around, and the handsome mummy, who covered half of his face, smiled friendly and opened his hands to him.

Zhou Zekai stuffed Ye Xiu with fresh milk balls packed in colorful packages, blinked and showed a shy smile.

Ye Xiu was very moved by this friendship in need.He wanted to grab Zhou Zekai's hand to express his gratitude, but he couldn't free both hands, so he had to express his feelings verbally: "You are still reliable at the critical moment, Xiao Zhou! There is no repayment for saving a life, so please let me promise you with your body. "

A layer of red appeared on Zhou Zekai's face. Ye Xiu thought that he would be extremely shy, and then became speechless. Unexpectedly, Zhou Zekai looked at him seriously with his dark eyes exposed from the bandage, and said in a solemn tone: " don't want."

Just as usual, Ye Xiu casually teased: "..."

Zhou Zekai opened and closed his lips several times, as if he wanted to say something, but after all, he couldn't organize the words successfully.His face turned redder, and the color went straight from fresh tomato color to ripe pork liver color.Ye Xiu was afraid that he would explode if he continued like this, so he quickly comforted him: "Okay, okay, if you don't want it, then don't. Then, I will accompany you to PK a few times later, as a reward, okay?"

He fully expected that Zhou Zekai would happily agree, but Zhou Zekai turned around and left without saying a word.

Ye Xiu held the smoke in one hand and the fresh milk ball in the other. He couldn't help but scratch his head. He sighed: "As for why you dislike it so much? My brother hurts his self-esteem too, okay?"

Zhou Zekai ran away in a hurry, but it wasn't because he disliked Ye Xiu.The intuition honed by living under the lens of the camera for a long time made him keenly aware that the camera shooting the extras of the promotional film in the background was coming towards the two of them.

The current expression, I don't want to be photographed.

The room was full of ghosts and shadows, and the light was dim. Zhou Zekai found a shaded place and hid the half of his face that was not covered by bandages.

His heart was still beating wildly, he completed the sentence just now in a low voice:

"Don't make such a joke..."

will take it seriously.

Then, it will be sad.

On the other hand, when Ye Xiu handed the fresh milk ball to Lu Hanwen, he accidentally hid one.He peeled off the package, threw it into his mouth, and tasted the sweet taste of apples that couldn't be concealed by the thick milk.

On the day of Halloween, Zhou Zekai, as a representative of professional players, attended the large-scale event organized by the official with the appearance in the promotional video.The event lasted until almost ten o'clock, and the organizer arranged a car to take Zhou Zekai, who had finally unloaded his equipment, back to the hotel designated by the alliance.

The city's nightlife has just begun, and Zhou Zekai watched all kinds of strange-looking creatures happily roaming the streets through the car window, and the text he had memorized before inexplicably appeared in his mind:

"The excitement is theirs, and I have nothing."

It was in the year when he was studying this text that he first heard the name of God of War.

Thinking back to this, he couldn't help stretching out his hand, and drew a simple pen A Piao on the car window.

Zhou Zekai returned to the hotel room, and was about to swipe his card to open the door, when a very unprofessional ghost with only a sheet covering his face floated by.The ghost blew a smoke ring into his face and smiled maliciously: "Trick or Treat?"

Zhou Zekai was in a state of confusion, before he had time to think about the reason why this person appeared here and now, he instinctively answered the question: "Tr...trick."

The ghost clicked its mouth in dissatisfaction: "If you tell me to trick, I will trick. Isn't it embarrassing?"

How to do……

Zhou Zekai touched his pocket, all the candies he brought were given out in the event just now, he couldn't help but regret it, even if he kept one.

Ghost ignored Zhou Zekai's choice, and made a decision in his own words: "I want to treat."

He leaned over, but Zhou Zekai didn't say "no", his throat was blocked by his warm lips.

Ye Xiu delicately licked and kissed Zhou Zekai's lips as if tasting some favorite candy.It wasn't until Zhou Zekai was almost out of breath that he opened a little distance, nodded and commented: "It smells like green apples."

He smiled and said to Zhou Zekai who was standing still, "It's so sweet, thank you for your hospitality."

The speed of Zhou Zekai's brain couldn't keep up with the progress of the matter, and he didn't know how to respond for a while.In the extreme panic, he caught another important point——

The cigarette that Ye Xiu held between his fingers was almost exhausted.

Zhou Zekai grabbed Ye Xiu's hand, grabbed the cigarette butt, and threw it into a trash can not far away.

Ye Xiu, whose fingers were almost burnt but didn't realize it, just let him move in a daze, with a look of unresponsiveness on his face.

It turned out that I was not alone.

Zhou Zekai subtly felt comforted.

He leaned forward slightly, and touched the ghost's reddish face with his lips:

"Please advise."

Extra Story Itching

Zhou Zekai leaned against the head of the bed, closed his eyes, and felt the bandages on his legs being untied round and round.

Between the curiosity of wanting to see and the shyness of not being able to see, shyness prevailed.

During today's lunch time, Ye Xiu never showed up.Although Zhou Zekai knew that he shouldn't interfere with the guests' routines, he couldn't help but worry.After hesitating for a while, he picked out some of Ye Xiu's favorite foods, put them in a small basket, and went to Ye Xiu's room to find him.

Zhou Zekai knocked on the door, and Ye Xiu's voice came from the door: "Come in." He pushed the door and went in, but he didn't see Ye Xiu. There was only a completely unfamiliar body in the room with its back facing him, tinkering with the things on the table. what.

What's happening here?

Zhou Zekai asked, "Who are you?"

The stranger said "Huh?", and turned around, Zhou Zekai first felt the voice was familiar, and then looked at his face, hey, isn't this Ye Xiu?

He looked at Ye Xiu for a while, only to realize the reason why he didn't recognize Ye Xiu: the white bed sheet that Ye Xiu never left his body was gone, and now his body...is completely naked.

Ye Xiu explained: "According to my hometown's calculation, today is a special day, let's count it as our holiday. To celebrate, we usually take off the bed sheets, wash them, and dry them in the sun. Although they are not dirty at all, everyone It’s become a habit.”

Zhou Zekai looked surprised: "Can you still take it off?"

Ye Xiu replied: "Since you can put it on, of course you can take it off. Xiao Zhou, don't you take it off?"

Zhou Zekai: "..."

Ye Xiu: "No way? Have you never taken it off?"

So it became like this.

Zhou Zekai felt that the skin of his legs gradually came into direct contact with the air, it was cool, and it was indeed different from the feeling of comfort when he was wrapped.

Ye Xiu's movements were very gentle, and his hands occasionally touched his skin.But where Ye Xiu touched, there would be a very strange feeling.

When Ye Xiu's hand touched him again, Zhou Zekai couldn't help shrinking his legs.

Ye Xiu stopped and asked him, "What's wrong?"

Zhou Zekai whispered, "It's very strange."

"What's weird?"

"Where you... touched."

Ye Xiu thought for a while, reached out and touched Zhou Zekai's inner thigh, and asked Zhou Zekai, "Is it strange?"

Zhou Zekai nodded.

Ye Xiu's hand lightly stroked the touched place a few times, then scratched again.

"Do you feel better?" he asked.

Zhou Zekai felt that the strange sensation on his skin was relieved by Ye Xiu's movements, but when Ye Xiu stopped, he felt dissatisfied and wanted more.Surprised by his own greed, he blushed and nodded flusteredly.

Ye Xiu taught him: "This feeling is called 'itch', which means the skin craves for contact. Just touch it and it will be fine."

Zhou Zekai responded with a vague understanding, and then secretly opened his eyes to take a look.

The area Ye Xiu had touched turned red, which stood out against the pure white bandage print.

His heart was beating wildly.

Ye Xiu couldn't help but let out an "uh".

Now Zhou Zekai was sitting on his bed with his legs spread apart, his face flushed with blush.The bandages on the legs had been completely undone, exposing fair skin.The sleeping organs in the grass showed signs of awakening, and the bandages were stretched out into a bulging little bag.

Very... delicious.

Ye Xiu who didn't eat lunch felt very hungry.

He couldn't help but reach out and touch the cock, which was still wrapped in bandages, twice.

Zhou Zekai's body trembled like a slight electric shock.

Ye Xiu asked, "Are you comfortable?"

Zhou Zekai nodded honestly, opened and closed his mouth a few times, and finally couldn't help begging: "More... touch more."

Ye Xiu felt that he couldn't hold it anymore.

【Meat】

Zhou Zekai's right eye, which had been hidden under the bandage all along, was exposed, and the dark pupils were shining brightly.

No wonder it has to be wrapped up, probably because it wants to seal it, such an astonishing, unearthly beauty.

Thinking about it, Ye Xiu pulled Zhou Zekai down, kissed his right eye, and whispered in his ear, "I don't want to see obsidian again."

Compared with your eyes, it is like the eyes of a fish are to pearls.

Zhou Zekai understood Ye Xiu's meaning.

He felt that Ye Xiu's words seemed to gently scratch his itchy heart and calm his restlessness, but he felt more and more dissatisfied.

But it doesn't matter.In the endless time, Ye Xiu will always be by his side.No matter how itchy he felt, he could stop it.

Zhou Zekai hugged Ye Xiu's neck, buried his face in his shoulder, and smiled contentedly.

Spoiler · Caregiver

Zhou Zekai finished reading the last page by the moonlight, then closed the book, and prepared to go to sleep.

He stood up, opened the door and walked to the back of the house.

It was the Mid-Autumn Festival, and there were still many mosquitoes. Zhou Zekai lit a moxa rope every night to repel mosquitoes.Because the smoke smokes the eyes, it is not placed in the house, but placed under the back window of the house.In order to save a few more days, I often put out the moxa rope before going to bed.

The moonlight was bright outside the door, Zhou Zekai covered his eyes, and paused in his footsteps.

He put down his hand to make sure he was right.A man curled up next to the pile of straw handles.

If it is normal, with the double cover effect of the drowsy night and the shadow of the haystack, you may be able to avoid people.It's just that the moonlight tonight can completely expose him.

Zhou Zekai clearly saw that the several layers of cloth strips that were simply wrapped around the man's upper body were obviously cut from the hem of his white clothes, and had been completely soaked by the oozing blood.

The wound was on the vest, very deep.It should be caused by a sneak attack from behind by a trusted person.

The man turned his head to look at him, his eyes were full of exhaustion, but the corner of his mouth curled up in an indifferent arc, he neither called for help nor asked for help, and leaned his head back on the haystack.

Zhou Zekai bit his lower lip, and quickly made up his mind with a decisiveness that didn't match his age.He turned and went in, changed into the old clothes he usually wore for work, and walked back.The man turned his head again, staring at him with surprise in his eyes.Seeing the emotion in those calm eyes, Zhou Zekai felt a little proud.

He carved out a barely roomy space in the straw pile, and pointed at the man.The man was not hypocritical, and he crawled in silently without saying anything.

Zhou Zekai piled up the straw handles tightly again.I smelled it again, fortunately, it was covered by the smell of burning wormwood, but I couldn't smell the smell of bleeding, so I was more concerned.Using the moonlight, he picked out the blood-stained grass one by one, put it in his hand, and burned it with the moxa rope.Then stepped on the moxa rope as usual, went back to the room, changed clothes and went to bed.

Not long after lying down, officers and soldiers searched from house to house.Zhou Zekai was also awakened, he huddled in the corner of the bed, didn't move and didn't speak, the visitor rummaged through his empty house twice before going to the next one.Zhou Zekai lay on the bed with his eyes still open, not feeling sleepy.

Sure enough, about an hour later, the group of people returned the same way and entered the room.There was a lot of noise in the middle of the night, and it finally calmed down.

Zhou Zekai woke up at Yinshi and went out of the room.This night's sleep time was less than half of his usual time, and he was quite lack of energy. He yawned and moved the straw away, only to see the man who was the culprit sleeping soundly and carefree, as if the sky had fallen and had nothing to do with him.Zhou Zekai felt dissatisfied, so he poked the man's arm twice hard to wake him up.

He handed the man a roll of cloth strips, which he had torn from his old clothes.There is no hemostatic medicine.The man bandaged the wound again, taking advantage of the darkness, he followed Zhou Zekai into the house.

Zhou Zekai went to the stove to steam the steamed buns, and burned the blood-stained cloth in the stove.They also made soup with wormwood.He once heard people say that wormwood has the effect of stopping bleeding, but he didn't know if it was true, so he had to go to the doctor in a hurry.He ate two steamed buns himself, and brought the other two steamed buns and a bowl of medicinal soup to the man.

The man finished eating the steamed buns in a big gulp, but he was very resistant to the dark bowl of soup. It wasn't until Zhou Zekai frowned that he grimaced, pinched his nose, and gulped it down.

After filling it in one breath, the man puffed and stuck out his tongue, and complained: "I knew I should keep a steamed bun, so I'd like to taste the bitterness." After thinking about it, he said, "Forget it, even the steamed buns will become unpalatable that way. "

He handed the bowl to Zhou Zekai and asked, "What's your name, little brother?"

Zhou Zekai said his name.The man nodded, and called him naturally: "Xiao Zhou." Then he pointed to himself: "Ye Xiu."

Since the death of his parents, in order to make a living, Zhou Zekai worked in a restaurant in the town, and was assigned the job of ushering guests in the lobby.He has a good appearance, even though he is less talkative, he is quite liked.Restaurants and restaurants are the best places to listen to gossip.A few days later, Zhou Zekai heard a few outsiders talking loudly, saying that Ye Qiuli, the god of war, was conspiring with foreign enemies and wanted to raise the flag of rebellion, but his lieutenant general Liu Hao saw through the plot and captured him by tricks.Immediately, someone slapped the table and stood up, angrily scolding Ye Qiu for his wolfish ambition, and everyone responded.There were also a few who complained about Ye Qiu and questioned the authenticity of the news, but they were quickly drowned out in the clamor.Zhou Zekai watched coldly, those who were filled with righteous indignation were all unfamiliar faces, and he began to care about them.

When returning home from work in the evening, the lady in the kitchen grabbed Zhou Zekai by the back door and secretly gave him a few packs of leftovers.Zhou Zekai is usually afraid of being in debt, and he is not good at refusing, so he always thinks ahead of time to go out to avoid the enthusiastic aunt.In the past few days, in order to improve Ye Xiu's food, he was deliberately caught twice.

Knowing that there are eyes and ears nearby, Zhou Zekai didn't dare to grab the medicine, and just boiled wormwood soup for Ye Xiu every day.Ye Xiu raised him for more than half a month without going out, and only ate and slept. He managed to regain some energy, but insisted on not letting Zhou Zekai sleep on the floor, and put him back on the bed, and slept on the floor by himself.

A few days later, Zhou Zekai came back home and was about to start cooking, when he lifted the lid of the pot, he saw a pot of excellent braised venison simmering in the pot.

He let go of his hand in shock, and the lid of the pot fell on the stove, making a loud noise.Someone behind said: "Xiao Zhou is back."

Zhou Zekai turned his head, Ye Xiuxiu was lazily leaning against the door of the kitchen, wearing Zhou Zekai's old clothes.Although he looked a few years older than Zhou Zekai, his stature was about the same, and his clothes fit him well.

Zhou Zekai frowned: "You went out?"

Ye Xiu nodded and said, "Don't worry, no one will see it."

He pointed to the pot, and said with a smile: "I have lived for so long for nothing, so at least I have to pay some rent."

Zhou Zekai heard passing merchants talk in the restaurant, and there was an individual guest named Jun Moxiao nearby, holding a strange umbrella-shaped weapon. There are many people who have attracted huge profits, but none of them can tempt him.

Rumors have always praised this person so much that there is no one in heaven or earth. When Zhou Zekai returns home every night, he is mentally prepared to see Ye Xiu again.But as long as he pushed open the door, Ye Xiu would always pop up from somewhere, take out fresh food from the pot, and invite him to eat together.

Even reading at night has become worthy of the name - Ye Xiu reads, he listens.Ye Xiu's ability to see things in the dark is extremely strong, and it is indeed much more convenient than him struggling to distinguish words with light.

One day when he read the story of the snail girl, Zhou Zekai always felt a sense of mysterious familiarity, and couldn't help staring at Ye Xiu.When Ye Xiu looked back, he felt inexplicably guilty again, and looked away to hide it.

Ye Xiu smiled and asked, "What kind of wife does Xiao Zhou want to marry in the future?"

Zhou Zekai really didn't think about this question.He thought about it, and the first thought that popped into his mind was "What should I do if I marry my daughter-in-law, Ye Xiu?" So he answered without much hesitation, "No."

Ye Xiu let out a "hey" and said, "It would be great if Xiao Zhou was a girl, and I can make a promise with my body in return for saving my life."

Zhou Zekai stared at him: "Who is the girl?"

Ye Xiu said spinelessly, "I, I am."

Zhou Zekai couldn't help laughing.

If Ye Xiu was a girl, it would be good to marry, although she is a little older and taller... After all, it is very pleasant to get along with.

Zhou Zekai knew that Ye Xiu sometimes went out alone after he fell asleep, but when he opened his eyes in the morning, he could always see Ye Xiu lying on the floor.

If things go on like this, even a sane person like Zhou Zekai will inevitably have the illusion that Ye Xiu has always lived with him and will continue to do so in the future.

When the Mid-Autumn Festival came in the next year, Zhou Zekai bought a box of the best moon cakes at the pastry shop on the street, and went to the wine shop to buy good wine in a small bamboo tube, spending less than half of his savings.

He has not celebrated the Mid-Autumn Festival for many years.Now that they have lived together with Ye Xiu for a year, they should have a happy reunion.

This evening, Ye Xiu cooked more hearty meals than usual, Zhou Zekai took advantage of him to serve the meals, and mixed wine into the water tank - this wine was really expensive, quite a luxury according to their daily life standards.Although he bought it without hesitation, he was afraid of Ye Xiu's distress, so he didn't intend to tell him.

After dinner, moon cakes were served, Zhou Zekai scooped up two bowls of water, and only told Ye Xiu to use water instead of wine.Ye Xiu nodded and said, "Xiao Zhou, I have something to tell you."

Zhou Zekai nodded and looked at him.

Ye Xiu, however, seemed to be unable to speak, hesitated and hesitated, finally gritted his teeth, picked up the bowl and drank it down. Seeing that he was about to say something, he fell down on the table with a plop.

Zhou Zekai was startled, he thought the wine was poisonous, so he rushed over to touch Ye Xiu's heart, it was beating steadily and vigorously, but when he looked at his face, he was flushed red and smelled of alcohol - Zhou Zekai looked like this in a restaurant. Too much, that's not what the guests look like when they're drunk.

He looked at the bowl in disbelief: a bamboo tube of wine is poured into half a tank of water, how much wine can there be in this bowl, is this drunk?

Seeing that Ye Xiu was deeply drunk, he had no intention of waking up for a while.
