Sediment rises

Back home, the housekeeping aunt Yang Qiaoshan had invited had already prepared the meal.

The aunt's surname is Meng. She was a little embarrassed when she came to the door for the first time. She wiped her hands with a towel and said cautiously: "Mr. Chen, I don't know what taboos you have when I come to the door for the first time. Tell me now, and I will pay attention to it in the future."

Chen Zui thought for a while and replied: "Xiaoxuan's room doesn't need to be cleaned. He doesn't like others to touch his things. When you run out of things at home, try to put them back to the original place. Otherwise, Xiaoxuan won't be able to find them. Besides, Xiaoxuan likes Sweet and sour dishes, I don’t like spicy food. Just come here every day to clean the house, and then make us dinner, and there is nothing else to pay attention to.”

Aunt Meng nodded repeatedly, remembering each one in her heart.She pointed to the mattress outside Lin Congxuan's room, and asked puzzledly, "Should I put that mattress away?"

Chen Zui laughed at himself: "No, just change the sheets for me."

Aunt Meng looked confused, and suddenly she understood and panicked: "Okay, okay, then I'll go back first."

"Wait, Aunt Meng!" Chen most wanted to learn how to cook, "You stay and have dinner with us today, and you will teach me how to cook after dinner."

Aunt Meng was a little surprised, she glanced at Lin Congxuan who was flipping through the picture album in the living room, and then nodded happily.

After dinner in the evening, Lin Congxuan got into the room, and Chen Zui learned a tomato scrambled egg from Aunt Meng, which was easy to learn and refreshing.

Aunt Meng pointed out from time to time, except that the tomato was not cut well, it looked delicious and delicious.While waiting for the tomatoes to boil, Aunt Meng wiped the stove and said, "Mr. Chen is really considerate to Mr. Lin."

Chen Zui's back was stiff, and he said in a voice that he could only hear: "Is it still useful?"

After Aunt Meng left, Chen Zui put a little in a small bowl and wanted Lin Congxuan to taste it. When he knocked on the door for the third time, the door finally opened a small gap.Lin Congxuan bowed his head inside the door, and Chen most could only see his soft hair and curled eyelashes.

"Xiaoxuan, do you want to try?" Chen Zui handed the bowl to Lin Congxuan.

Lin Congxuan still lowered his head and did not respond. Chen Zui was very patient, holding the bowl without moving. The two of them just faced each other silently.After a long time, Lin Congxuan finally opened the door a little wider, raised his head and opened his mouth slightly.

Chen was the most stunned, and it took him a long time to realize that Xiaoxuan wanted to feed him. He was surprised and happy, and his hand holding the chopsticks trembled a little.

Lin Congxuan chewed slowly and took two mouthfuls, and Chen Zui stared at him with uncontrollable joy as he finished eating.

Lin Congxuan didn't give any comments after eating, and closed the door again, but Chen Zui was so happy because of Lin Congxuan's little response, that when he fell asleep at night, he had a long-lost dream.

In the dream, it was the time when Chen Gaosan had just started school, Qiu Huhu was domineering, and the weather was still very hot.One evening, he and Lin Congxuan sat on a swing for two in the garden of their home, enjoying the cool with an ice cream in their mouths.

The two of them didn't speak, just leaning shoulder to shoulder in a daze.After a while, his shoulders were heavy, and Chen Zui turned his head to brush Lin Congxuan's broken hair on his cheek, only to realize that Lin Congxuan had fallen asleep at some point.

Chen Zui stretched out his arms to wrap his arms around him, letting him lean firmly on his shoulders.This action is actually quite tiring, but Chen most doesn't know what he thinks, he just feels that this is very stable and comfortable, and he is reluctant to break it.

Until dusk fell and the swing merged into the boundless night, Lin Congxuan finally moved.Chen Zui thought he was awake, but he just changed his position and continued to sleep.

Chen Zui smiled and turned his head to the side, staring at Lin Congxuan's thin and moist lips. He found that the corners of Lin Congxuan's mouth were stained with milk, which was rubbed on him while eating ice cream.

At that moment, a ridiculous idea came to Chen Zui's mind. He wanted to taste the milk stains at the corner of Lin Congxuan's mouth.

Once this idea was born, it would grow wildly like a vine. Chen Zui slowly moved closer and closer amidst the beating of his heartbeat and his own continuous swallowing, and finally pressed Lin Congxuan's lips.

It's soft, hot, and sweet.

……

After having two cats, the family became more lively. Chen Zui still took Lin Congxuan to work on weekdays, and stayed at home with Lin Congxuan on weekends.

After learning a few home-cooked dishes from Aunt Meng, Aunt Meng didn't come to cook during weekends, and Chen was in charge.Lin Cong chose the side of appetite to express his affirmation of Chen Zui's culinary skills. He especially likes the soup with tomato scrambled eggs for bibimbap.

During this period, Liang Yiwan brought Liang Yijiao to play once, and Chen Zui's parents came several times.Chen Zhensheng felt ashamed because of Lin Congxuan's matter, and he looked at Chen Zui with a cold expression.Chen Zui no longer sneered like before, but listened to the reprimand silently with his head down. He would feel better if someone scolded him instead of Xiaoxuan.

For more than a month, Lin Congxuan has selectively reacted to external stimuli. For example, when Chen Zuo brought him food, he would actively open his mouth. Chen Zui pricked up his ears to distinguish the syllables carefully before realizing that Lin Congxuan was reading the names of plants on the watercolor painting.

Because Lin Congxuan was obsessed with watercolor albums, Chen Zui bought two large boxes for Lin Congxuan to read from astronomy to geography, from plants to animals.

But Lin Congxuan still liked to get into the room as soon as he got home, and he couldn't be bothered at all other times except for eating time. Chen could only rely on the faint sound he made inside to confirm that Lin Congxuan was indeed safe and sound.

On weekends, Chen Zui sat on the floor at the door of the room, and the computer played the archived surveillance video in a loop.

In the screen, Lin Cong chooses a person to go to the garden and cut two blue hydrangeas after breakfast, and put them in a vase in the living room, and then he goes to replace the cookies that have expired. The living room was cleaned again.After cleaning, it was already time for lunch. Lin Cong chose to cook one dish and one soup. After finishing eating quietly by himself, he went back to the room and stayed until the evening. He didn’t come out until the evening. This time was when he made dinner. .Lin Congxuan, who is busy in the kitchen, looks happy, confident and content, because he is preparing a table of warm and delicious meals for the people he likes.

Seven days a week, four weeks a month, every day Lin Congxuan is in this cycle of loneliness.

Chen Zui felt a throbbing pain in his chest. Now he finally realized how disappointed and satisfied it is to wait for someone who doesn't want to see you like Lin Congxuan.

The disappointment is that you can't see that person in the room, but the satisfaction is that at least that person is still there.

This feeling of worrying about gains and losses makes people sleepless at night.
