Out of place

Cheng Boyan seldom went out to eat if he wasn't eating with friends. It was unhealthy and mainly because he was tired. He could just get something to eat by himself, so he basically didn't know what to eat around here.

Xiang Xi knew it very well, and took him to a big bone soup hot pot restaurant in the east gate. There were four gates in the community, and he knew everything in the street outside. Cheng Boyan couldn't figure it out, so he stayed here God, still sick, how did you do it.

How many days?

Cheng Boyan has always lived alone, and he is used to exercising, eating and reading alone when he gets home, but Xiang Xi is suddenly caught in his life, and he is quite uncomfortable with his carefree and careless appearance, he always feels that it has been a long time.

Now looking at Xiang Xi who was sitting across from him with his chin resting on his chin and listening to the waiter report the menu, he suddenly realized that the time passed really fast.

"You can take a look at this dish..." The waiter opened the menu in front of Xiang Xi.

"Don't look," Xiang Xi still held his chin, tapped his lips lightly with his fingers, "I don't understand."

"Let me see," Cheng Boyan smiled, picked up the menu and opened it, "Shall I order it directly?"

"Okay." Xiang Xi nodded.

The waiter immediately switched to Cheng Boyan's side to introduce the dishes, and Cheng Boyan asked for a pot and a few small dishes of side dishes.

"Would you like some drinks?" the waiter asked.

"Yes." Xiang Xi raised his eyebrows and stopped holding his chin.

"Red Star Erguotou," Cheng Boyan said, "and..."

"Drink Erguotou?" Xiang Xi looked at him in surprise, thought for a while and said, "Okay, I haven't had Erguotou for a long time."

"Do you want a bottle of Erguotou?" the waiter repeated.

"Two..." Xiang Xi wanted to correct the waiter, but was interrupted by Cheng Boyan before he finished speaking.

"One bottle, and another bottle of Nutrition Express." Cheng Boyan glanced at him again after speaking.

"Okay." The waiter walked away.

"What do you mean?" Xiang Xi leaned his arms on the table and stared at Cheng Boyan, "A bottle of Erguotou, a bottle of Nutrition Express?"

"Well, the wine is mine." Cheng Boyan picked up the cup and took a sip of tea, "Drink yours."

Xiang Xi didn't speak, and stared at him for a long time before he said, "Do you drink Erguotou?"

"I didn't drive again today." Cheng Boyan said.

"No, what I mean is, you were still drinking red wine yesterday, pretending to be so advanced," Xiang Xi clicked his tongue, "You turned around and drank Erguotou again today?"

"You don't care about me," Cheng Boyan smiled and leaned back on the chair, "You are the only drinker."

"Hey, that's right, why do I want to drink Nutrition Express! I don't drive, I don't even have a car!" Only then did Xiang Xi remember his previous point.

"Didn't the doctor tell you that smoking and alcohol are banned now?" Cheng Boyan looked at him.

"...I said it," Xiang Xi sighed, and lay down on the table, "I don't smoke, I'm all well now, can't I just drink a few sips of wine?"

"Don't lie on the table, is it dirty?" Cheng Boyan frowned, "You're quite addicted to alcohol."

"It's pretty clean, I can't lie on my stomach with this..." Xiang Xi sat up straight helplessly, "I have had a few drinks with Uncle Ping since I was a child. You are a big drinker, Erguotou, are you quite a drinker?"

"I haven't been drunk yet." Cheng Boyan smiled.

"Yo," Xiang Xi narrowed his eyes, "You're so loud, let's have a few drinks when I get better."

"Well, good." Cheng Boyan said.

After finding a job, it could be seen that Xiang Xi was very happy. Cheng Boyan didn't talk much during the meal, and listened to Xiang Xi talking non-stop while eating.

Half-truth, half-false and exaggerated, Cheng Boyan felt that he couldn't find a way to start a conversation.

The toy sale must be some illegal black den, with a shovel man who chased him down several blocks, with the soles of his shoes all round.

The restaurant is not bad, the business is very good, the boss and his wife look like brothers and sisters, they are two fat guys, they are very nice people, they also gave him time to find a house, gave him a lot of money, and even took care of two meals.

Finding a house was also very smooth, with a single room, a shared kitchen, and the neighbors are all students, which is pretty good...

"Since we have decided to do it here first, let's do it well," Cheng Boyan finally found a chance to speak when Xiang Xi raised his neck and sipped his drink, "Everything will be rewarded, even if it is moving bricks, there will be rewards. "

"What do you gain?" Xiang Xi looked at him, a little confused.

"How to move the most labor-saving, what posture is not easy to hurt the waist," Cheng Boyan took a sip of wine, "This is the experience gained."

"Well, I think I can learn how to make casserole rice." Xiang Xi said with a smile.

"You can also see what the boss and the others are doing every day," Cheng Boyan said, taking another sip, "How can you open a restaurant for good business, in case you also open a casserole restaurant in the future."

"Really," Xiang Xi laughed, glanced at the bottle in Cheng Boyan's hand, and was stunned again, "I rely on you for a bottle and a half?"

"Go to the ophthalmology department of our hospital, it is the top three ophthalmology department in the province." Cheng Boyan said.

"It's really bad," Xiang Xi clicked his tongue, "I've never been drunk after drinking so fast... Hey, drinking like this is not good for your health!"

"Occasionally," Cheng Boyan looked at the wine bottle, "just like I ate that battered egg yesterday."

Xiang Xi smiled for a long time, rubbed his nose: "Don't mention it, I really didn't expect it, I will make it for you again after I learn the craft in the casserole shop."

After the meal, Xiang Xi pulled Cheng Boyan around the neighborhood for two big circles, saying that he had to eat too much to digest food, Cheng Boyan didn't object, and followed him around for almost an hour before returning home.

"Are you drunk?" Xiang Xi asked after entering the door and changing clothes.

"I don't feel it," Cheng Boyan looked at the time, "Go take a shower and pack your things."

"En." Xiang Xi replied, sitting on the sofa without moving.

"I'll take your things for you after work at night, so don't run back and forth." Cheng Boyan said again.

"Oh." Xiang Xi replied again, still sitting still, staring at the TV.

Cheng Boyan went over and turned on the TV, and threw the remote control to his hand: "Then I'll wash it first."

"Okay." Xiang Xi nodded.

Cheng Boyan glanced at him, turned and went into the bathroom.

After taking a shower, Xiang Xi was still sitting on the sofa, hugging a cushion cross-legged, watching TV in a daze.

Cheng Boyan watched the TV, but he didn't change the channel.

"What's the matter?" He walked up to Xiang Xi, "Do you feel uneasy about going to work tomorrow?"

"...I don't know," Xiang Xi hugged the mat, and nodded his chin up and down on the mat, "Actually, I've never been uneasy about this kind of thing. I didn't panic when I worked with Uncle Ping for the first time."

"That's different." Cheng Boyan smiled.

"Yeah," Xiang Xi frowned, "I think so, a bit like when I just left Zhaojiayao, I felt that there was a road ahead and my feet were still dark, so you can just move, I thought so too, It’s just that when you step on your feet, you’re always afraid of stepping on a pit and falling.”

Cheng Boyan looked at him, and smiled after a while: "That's why we have to take a steady step, you can go slowly, but don't rush."

"You are the lamp." Xiang Xi said.

"What?" Cheng Boyan didn't hear clearly.

"Light," Xiang Xi raised his head and smiled, "It's bright when you're standing next to you, and it's dark when you're far away."

Cheng Boyan opened his mouth but didn't say anything, Xiang Xi stretched his waist and stood up: "I've been forced to think about life a lot in the past two days, and the taste of speaking is not right."

"You can write and write if you have nothing to do," Cheng Boyan said, and after thinking about it, "Oh, you can't write..."

Xiang Xi smiled and said nothing.

Cheng Boyan turned and went into the bedroom, and after a while, he handed him a small black square box in his hand: "Let me play with you, this is what I used to record medical records."

"Recorded?" Xiang Xi looked at it, and it was quite similar to Fang Yin's, "What did I record? A confession."

"Let's play," Cheng Boyan smiled, "People need to talk, if you say it and write it, the feeling will be different."

"Are you talking too?" Xiang Xi asked.

Cheng Boyan looked at him with folded arms, smiled after a long time, and didn't speak.

"Then I'll take it, thank you," Xiang Xi looked at the recorder, thought for a long time before raising his head to look at Cheng Boyan, "Thank you."

"It's almost done," Cheng Boyan clicked his tongue, "Would you still hold your head and cry if you maintain your state for a while?"

Xiang Xi put the recorder in his pocket, took a breath, and hugged Cheng Boyan with his arms wide open.

Cheng Boyan froze in place.

"You're different from me. You don't know what it's like to be held by someone." Xiang Xi hugged him and whispered, "When I see you, I want to kowtow three times and say thank you."

"...Really?" Cheng Boyan hesitated for a moment, then hugged him, "Then just kowtow next time, it's okay."

Xiang Xi hugged him and laughed for a long time without letting go.

Cheng Boyan didn't move, and patted him on the back twice.

Hugging is a long-lost feeling.

Xiang Xi is thin, holding Cheng Boyu in his arms is somewhat similar to Cheng Boyu. Of course, he probably only hugs Cheng Boyu once in his life, and it may not be the same. Xiang Xi is quite tall, and Cheng Boyu has not had time to grow up to Xiang Xi's size. high.

Besides, after telling Xiang Xi about Cheng Boyu that day, Xiang Xi never called his brother again, and he felt a little uncertain.

"I didn't take a shower," Xiang Xi said, "After this hug, do you want to go back and wash it again?"

Cheng Boyan smiled and didn't speak, Xiang Xi's voice gliding past his ear suddenly gave him something different...

Impulse, or something.

Cheng Boyan pushed Xiang Xi away, and the short hair that brushed against his face instantly deepened this feeling. Cheng Boyan glanced at him, with clear eyes and exquisite facial features...

"I'm going...to take a shower," Cheng Boyan turned and walked to the bathroom, "No, wash your face... just wash your hands."

"Are you sure?" Xiang Xi was happy in the living room.

"Maybe," Cheng Boyan stood in front of the sink, turned on the faucet and watched, "wash it if you want, and it looks beautiful, so handsome."

"Crazy," Xiang Xi leaned against the door, "Doctor Cheng, that casserole meal is quite close to your hospital, come over tomorrow to find your way, come when you don't have time to eat, I'll make it for you...but it's okay For a while, I will learn first."

"Okay." Cheng Boyan turned off the water.

"You didn't wash your hands?" Xiang Xi looked at his hands.

"Oh, I forgot." Cheng Boyan turned to turn on the water again, and washed his hands.

Cheng Boyan walked out of the hospital with Xiang Xi's bag when he got off work. The bag was very light. When Xiang Xi packed it up, he looked at it. He bought two sets of clothes, toiletries, and a small iron box. I don't know what was in it. Xiangxi's treasures are nothing but that.

Carrying this bag, he could understand Xiang Xi's panic, he decided to get rid of not only the chaotic life in the past, but the whole thing.

Those lives are all he has, and once he throws them away, all he has left is this bag. If he didn't have his own lamp, he wouldn't even have this bag, only a box.

In fact, what Xiang Xi possesses is not only the stubbornness of struggling desperately, but also courage.

Casserole rice is in the middle of a row of snack bars, the door is not conspicuous, but Xiang Xi told him before, don't look at the sign, look at the people, the one with the most people is the one.

It's time to eat now, Cheng Boyan saw the restaurant with the most people at a glance. On the days when he needed to wear a coat, he only wore a T-shirt, and beads of sweat were already on his face.

He drove the car over, lowered the windows, and honked the horn.

As soon as Xiang Xi looked up and saw him, he immediately smiled and waved, and shouted again: "I'm busy now! Find a place to stop and wait for me!"

Cheng Boyan nodded, and drove the car forward to find a parking space.

This street is adjacent to several bustling commercial streets, but the site is really limited, so it has not been remodeled. The road is very narrow, and it happens to be a gathering place for small restaurants. All kinds of shops are old for more than ten years, and there are quite a few people eating there. many.

Cheng Boyan walked around the four streets for a full circle, but he couldn't find a parking space.

When passing the casserole rice again, Xiang Xi saw him, waved his hand again, and shouted, "Why are you still here! Find a place to park!"

"I..." Cheng Boyan wanted to say that I looked for me everywhere, but Xiang Xi had already turned around and ran back to the store. He sighed and continued to drive out.

On the second lap, Xiang Xi turned his back to him and didn't look at him. On the third lap, Xiang Xi just took a bag of garbage and threw it into the roadside trash can. When he saw his car, his eyes widened: " What are you doing!"

"You think I want to!" Cheng Boyan lowered the car window and yelled, "I've turned the oil a notch!"

Just as he was about to continue circling, the lights of the car in front turned on, and Xiang Xi jumped up and ran over, shouting as he ran, "Come, come, come, come! Here!"

There are a lot of cars looking for a parking space. It is estimated that many cars have turned around for more than three times. As soon as this car drove out of the parking space, three cars rushed over immediately.

"Fuck!" Xiang Xi jumped onto the road directly, blocking the road for those cars, leaving room only for Cheng Boyan, "The parking space is full!"

Cheng Boyan parked the car close behind Xiang Xi, and heard the girl in the co-pilot of a car say: "Oh my god, there is a parking space service for casserole rice now?"

"Wait for me for 5 minutes," Xiang Xi said quickly, holding the car window open, "there are four more people, let's take a break after this round of work! Are you in the car or in the store...there may be no... "

"Alright, leave me alone," Cheng Boyan said, "Hurry up and go about your business."

"Wait for me!" Xiang Xi patted on the car door, turned around and ran back to the shop.

Cheng Boyan looked at his back, he was still quite thin, but he was much fatter than when he first saw him, and he looked very energetic when he was running around and busy.

Hungry, Cheng Boyan turned off the ignition, took a carton of milk from the back seat and drank it.

The hygiene and nutrition of these small shops on the street are unflattering, but the aroma of the food is still very good. He has been busy all day today. He just took a few bites of lunch when an emergency patient turned over. He threw away the bowl and kept busy. When I get off work, it is torture to smell the aroma of casserole rice.

All the guests had eaten, but there were no new guests for the time being, so Xiang Xi ran over with two lunch boxes, opened the car door, and sat in the passenger seat.

"Hey! I'm so busy, I'm so busy," Xiang Xi said while handing him the lunch box in his hand, "I told our boss that my friend is waiting for me, so he made a copy for you. Don't try it? I asked him to make the topping lighter and use less oil."

"How much?" Cheng Boyan took the lunch box without saying whether to eat or not.

"It was given away for free. I heard it was my friend or a doctor from the nearby big hospital, so the boss almost sent it over in person." Xiang Xi chuckled, "I guess you can't eat it, but I still brought it here. The boss is very nice."

"Thank him for me," Cheng Boyan smiled, "I'll eat it in a while...You wrap it up, should I take it for you now or..."

"Where are you taking it?" Xiang Xi asked.

"Where are you renting?" Cheng Boyan looked at him.

"...Oh, no need! No need!" Xiang Xi hurriedly said, "No, just put it in the store. I take a shower in the store at night, which can save some water and electricity bills over there."

"Oh," Cheng Boyan gave him a box of milk, "Have you not eaten yet?"

"No, the boss said that the group of customers can eat as soon as they leave, let's eat at nine o'clock." Xiang Xi lowered his head and drank the milk very happily.

"Drink milk in small sips, which is good for absorption." Cheng Boyan looked at the small beads of sweat on the tip of his nose and forehead.

"I can't take a sip, I'm thirsty," Xiang Xi wiped his sweat with the back of his hand, and when he finished wiping, he saw Cheng Boyan looking at his hand, so he raised his hand, "What should I do?"

"Rub your body." Cheng Boyan sighed.

"Actually, I'm covered in sweat and oil." Xiang Xi rubbed his hands on his pants, "It's already rubbed against your car."

"Shut up!" Cheng Boyan said.

After Xiang Xi drank the milk, he threw the milk box out of the car window. Cheng Boyan frowned and was about to speak when the box landed in the trash can exactly two meters away.

"Tired?" he asked Xiang Xi.

"It's okay, I've been busy for a while, it's not that I don't have anything to do at mealtime," Xiang Xi smiled, "It's all right after nine o'clock, the boss's girl is going to take the college entrance examination, so she doesn't have supper at night, and she goes back to serve the girl. "

"Well, you go to bed early that night, and your body hasn't fully recovered yet," Cheng Boyan confessed, "Don't forget to take the medicine."

Xiang Xi kept nodding, and after a moment of silence, he scratched his head: "Then I... go to work."

"Go." Cheng Boyan said.

"Are you coming tomorrow?" Xiang Xi asked when he got out of the car.

Cheng Boyan was stunned for a moment, and Xiang Xi smiled before he could speak: "I said it well."

"Come over to the hospital when you have time in a few days," Cheng Boyan said, "take a film to see how your legs are doing."

"Okay!" Xiang Xi nodded immediately, closed the car door and lay down on the car window, "Can I call you at night? I mean, it's boring without TV at night."

"Don't be too late, I want to read after ten o'clock." Cheng Boyan said.

"Okay!" Xiang Xi took two steps back, very happy, "Got it."
