Ceaseless

Su Xi pushed him away, "You smell very strongly of cigarettes."

Nie Jingze was noncommittal, and let him go, "Isn't it because someone woke up in the morning and left without saying a word?" The other party narrowed his eyes slightly, "I thought you didn't intend to admit it, so I drove to find you. But you resigned and your number was suspended. According to the news, there is no one in the place where you and Zhong Qing lived. I thought you had already run away, so I was trembling with anger, and I couldn't control it when I touched the cigarette."

Su Xi took out the phone from his pocket and showed it to him, "The phone was shut down due to the phone bill, and the text message was not sent."

Glancing over lightly, Nie Jingze took his mobile phone over, returned to the table to check the time, frowned and looked at him and said, "You made me not have dinner until now."

Su Xi looked at him, "I didn't eat dinner either."

Only then did Nie Jingze remember that when he came back, he saw Su Xi sitting by the wall outside the door, as if he had been waiting for him for a long time.But when the other party was waiting for him here, he didn't know it, and he was probably still sitting in the underground parking lot, smoking a cigarette full of anger.A little annoyance floated in his eyes, and while he was annoyed with himself, he was even more annoyed with the other party, "Haven't you always memorized my phone number? Shouldn't you knock on the door? Why would you rather sit outside and wait instead of calling me?"

"I've called." Su Xi blinked lightly, "It's just that I didn't get through."

Nie Jingze paused when he heard the words, and finally remembered the cell phone that he threw into his pocket a few hours ago and never took it out again.At this moment, he reached out and took out the phone, and when he turned over the screen to unlock it with his fingerprint, he found that the screen was always pitch black and there was no response.

The phone has already been turned off.

Nie Jingze was dumbfounded for a second, then threw the phone back into his jacket pocket, stretched out his arms to hug him again, and sighed softly in his ears with lowered eyes: "All the coincidences that happened throughout the day today, It was preventing me from seeing you. But now I still see you. Of course, most of the credit is still due to you. So," he paused for a while and lowered his voice, "you are running to find me now, is it Is that what I mean?"

Su Xi didn't speak, but didn't push him away either.

Nie Jingze's eyes were full of joy, his heart moved, and he placed his palm on the side of his face, wanting to kiss him.

Su Xi raised his hand in time to block it, "I have one more question."

Nie Jingze calmed down a little, "What's the problem?"

"You said you like me," Su Xi raised his eyes hesitantly, "you don't mean the kind of liking you want to have sex with me, do you?"

Nie Jingze's face froze, and then slowly turned to black and blue.The remaining charming thoughts in his heart disappeared in an instant, "Of course not." He gritted his teeth and paused every word, "I like you, I mean the kind of liking that I want to fall in love with you."

Su Xi slowly pursed his lips under his tight gaze.

Seeing this, Nie Jingze gradually frowned, "What else do you have any questions about?"

"I just think..." Su Xi stopped talking.

Nie Jingze asked in a deep voice, "What do you think?"

Su Xi shook his head, carefully considering the words, "I just feel that this incident still seems a little unreal to me."

After saying these words in his mouth, he smiled with relief on his face.

Nie Jingze was distracted by his smile for a second.

Su Xi put away her smile, and stepped forward to kiss him.

The two changed their shoes one after the other and entered the door. There were no snacks to fill their stomachs. Nie Jingze washed the leftover strawberries and put them in a fruit plate for Su Xi to eat. He opened the refrigerator and glanced, "Do you want to eat them at home?" Or eat takeaway?"

Su Xi stood behind him with a fruit plate and looked into the refrigerator. Although there were not many dishes, they could easily make up a dinner.He thought for a second, with surprise on his face, "You didn't know how to cook before."

Nie Jingze held on to the refrigerator door with one hand, and turned his head noncommittally, "I'm really not used to Western food, and the Chinese restaurants around are all dishes with a sweet southern taste."

Su Xi picked up a strawberry from the fruit plate and took a bite, his eyes fell on the soda noodles in the refrigerator, "You can also eat noodles." After finishing speaking, he caught a glimpse of the bright red juice flowing down the gap on the strawberry from the corner of his eye. He lowered his head slightly, bringing his juice-stained fingers to his lips.

Over there, Nie Jingze opened the freezer again and took out the frozen shrimps that had not been disassembled, and turned around to ask him, "Do you want to eat noodles with shrimps?"

Su Xi stopped sucking his finger, nodded and said, "Eat."

But Nie Jingze put down the shrimp in his hand, didn't even close the refrigerator door, straightened up and walked in front of him, leaned over to lick off the strawberry juice that was still dripping down from his fingers, and took the remaining half of the strawberry in his hand. Swallowed it in the mouth, and finally raised the corners of his lips lightly, "It's a bit sweet."

Su Xi stared blankly at him without speaking.

Nie Jingze's expression returned to normal, and he glanced at him, "Why are you looking at me so stupidly?"

Su Xi blinked slowly and reminded him: "The refrigerator door is not closed yet."

Nie Jingze was silent for a second, seemingly hesitating to speak, and finally let out a long breath, turned around and took out the things in the box.

Su Xi behind pursed his lips.

He had seen all kinds of smiles on Nie Jingze's upright face, but the ones that appeared most frequently were sneer and mocking smiles.But it was rare or almost never seen Nie Jingze show such an ordinary but relaxed smile to him.

Regarding this aspect, Nie Jingze was too harsh and stingy towards him.

So much so that when he saw clearly, he couldn't bear to blink anymore.

Nie Jingze put the noodles and side dishes on the liutai, and asked Su Xi to take out two eggs from the refrigerator.Su Xi did as he said, but did not leave after putting down the egg, "Do you need my help?"

"No need." Nie Jingze didn't turn his head, "You just go back and sit and wait. The remote control is on the sofa, if you want to watch TV, turn it on yourself."

Su Xi hesitated for a second, and finally turned around and walked towards the living room.He sat on the sofa with his head bowed and played a little game on WeChat for a while, when he heard Nie Jingze's voice, "What sauce do you want?"

Su Xi got up and walked towards the kitchen, and saw that the other party was holding two bottles of sauces with different flavors, "Sweet bean sauce or tomato sauce?"

Su Xi didn't say a word, his eyes lingered from another bowl of bean paste, "Put the same hot sauce as yours." When he raised his eyes, he found a trace of surprise from the other party's eyes, and Su Xi didn't say anything .

He's not as addicted to sweets as he used to be.

When they were sitting face to face at the table for dinner, Nie Jingze asked him again abruptly, "Is your birthday next week's Singles' Day?"

Su Xi lowered his head and took a bite of the golden-yellow fried egg, "That's the Gregorian birthday."

Nie Jingze put down the chopsticks in his hand, took out a square box from his coat pocket and put it in his hand, "I brought it with me on a whim before going out in the morning, and I wanted to give it to you many days ago."

Su Xi held the box in his hand, and quickly recognized it as the box he had seen in Nie Jingze's hand when he was eating breakfast at this table a few days ago.He opened the lid of the box and took out the watch embedded in the box, and then recognized that it was the watch he had chosen for Nie Jingze in the mall.

He held the watch in his hand, "Is this an early birthday present for me?"

Nie Jingze denied it out loud, "No."

Su Xi looked up at him involuntarily.

Nie Jingze pushed up the sleeve of his left hand, revealing the old watch on his arm that he never took out, "Of course this can't be regarded as an early birthday present." He spoke clearly and said slowly, "This is for you Give me a belated return gift of a watch."

Su Shi paused slightly with his fingertips on the bottom of the dial, as if he had touched the sunken notch.

He turned the watch over, and the three capital letters came into view.

Su Xi realized that it was the abbreviation of Nie Jingze's name.
