Talking tablemates chase after me

Ding Jinyu heard the confession that did not belong to Zhou Hao at the small door on the roof of the building, and saw Zhou Hao's face flushed, but he didn't know that it was just Zhou Hao's exaggerated laugh.

He also saw Ming Xi's heartfelt, shocked eyes.

In this way, without any context, he escaped from the school.

Over the years, studying has always been his most important thing. Although it is not difficult for him to climb over the wall, it is the first time he has skipped class.

He was walking aimlessly on the street, and the hot milk in the glass, Mingxi's beautiful white sweater, Mingxi's dimples, and Mingxi's hug flashed through his mind like fragments——

And that lingering "I love you".

The harsh afternoon sun made him dizzy.

This was the first time he dared not face the place called "classroom".

Based on his childhood memories, he felt that he was about to travel all over Panyang City, and finally stopped in front of the small restaurant on Jacaranda Street.

It turns out that there are some things, no matter where you go, you can't hide.

As the sun fades away, the evening rush hour brings a turbulent crowd.

He reluctantly walked to the public bicycle parking spot, swiped a car and rode in the direction home.

Anyway, the sun is going to set soon, since I can’t hide anywhere, I have to go back to school tomorrow——

It's time for him to go home too.

Riding in front of the school gate of the No. [-] Middle School, there were only a few students left. He accelerated and drove past in one breath. When he regained consciousness, he had already stopped at the entrance of an alley.

He stopped to catch his breath, watching his own shadow stretched by the setting sun.

The last time was also at this alley, the day before he officially reported to the No. [-] Middle School, and at about the same time as today, he was alone, waiting for Ding Yinan who was late.

He is always alone, just like the shadow on the ground now.

Staring at the broken half wall at the entrance of the alley and the crooked "demolition" character on it, he suddenly lowered his head and smiled.

This alley is so special, it is very easy to fight with people.

He parked his bicycle on the side of the road and walked slowly into the alley.

The last time he was waiting for Ding Yinan here, he got into a fight with someone for no reason; later Ming Xi was surrounded by Wang Lei and he was in this alley, so he didn't pay attention at that time.

He walked up to the wall that Mingxi was leaning against at that time, and now he can still recall Mingxi's embarrassed and stubborn look at that time.

"Yo--"

An extremely unfriendly voice from behind interrupted his thoughts.

"Look, who is this?"

When he turned his head, it turned out to be the flower-armed man who chased Ding Yinan last time.

"Should I say that Panyang City is too small—" The flower-armed man looked up and down Ding Jinyu contemptuously, "Or should I say that it's not that friends don't get together?"

After leaving Ding Yinan, Ding Jinyu fought too many fights, maybe out of the habit of being a bully, he usually roughly counts the opponent's number and strength before fighting, and "calculates" his best chance of winning. style of play".

It was the first time that he had fought against the men with flower arms. Except for the unexpected "surprise" of throwing sticks, these people were just street gangsters who had no guts or skills to bully the weak and fear the hard.

But there were only seven or eight people on the other side that day, but today...

Ding Jinyu is a little tired today, and doesn't want to count or forget.

He was full of unspeakable emotions, and it was as if the flower-armed man and his gang were specially sent to his door to vent his anger.

"Either fight—" His face was lowered in the shadow of the setting sun, and his voice was equally low, "Or roll."

A group of dark shadows stretched out on the muddy floor of the alley finally surrounded the lonely boy.

It wasn't until the fight that Ding Jinyu understood why the flower-armed man dared to be so arrogant today——

This time, there were more than a dozen people on the other side.

When Ding Jinyu finally returned to the downstairs of the old house exhausted, it was already dark.

He looked up at the room that belonged to him, but there was still no light on.

When he was still living next door to Mingxi’s home last semester, he would pass by Mingxi’s living room every day when he pushed his bicycle home. The soft warm light inside carried the unique warmth of that place called “home”.

But in the future, there will never be any more.

He went upstairs with his head down. It was a really unlucky day.

There are almost no real estate properties in the old community. I don’t know when the lights in the stairwell were broken, and the corridor was completely dark.

He walked to the door of the house, took out his mobile phone and turned on the screen, and looked for the keyhole of the door with the faint light. When he looked down, he suddenly saw a figure curled up by the door.

Ming Xi hugged his knees and sat curled up on the ground. After staying in the dark space for a long time, the sudden light blinded him so much that he couldn't open his eyes; he instinctively stretched out his hand to cover his eyes, and stood up with the door frame behind him.

"Ding Jinyu?"

If the vague figure curled up just now made Ding Jinyu look forward to and fear the other party's identity, then after this soft call, he could no longer be sure of the other party's identity.

With a "click", the key unlocked the door, and Ding Jinyu froze slightly.

"You're finally back!" Ming Xi's voice was trembling with nervousness, "Where have you been running all afternoon?"

The light on the phone screen went out again, and Mingxi rushed towards Ding Jinyu nervously, as if afraid that the other party would disappear with the light just now.

He squatted on the ground for too long, his calf felt numb during his movements, and he almost fell; he could feel Ding Jinyu's hands holding him stiffly, not as firm as the hug on New Year's Eve, and even trembling weakly.

Before he could feel lost and sentimental, he heard a slight hiss from Ding Jinyu's direction.

"What's wrong with you?" he asked nervously.

In the dark environment, he couldn't even see Ding Jinyu's face clearly, so he could only reach out and scratch like Ming Mei, but Ding Jinyu pushed away the hand he just stretched out.

"fine."

Ding Jinyu's voice perfectly blended into the dark and gloomy atmosphere in the corridor.

He turned around to enter the door, and the moment he raised his hand to close the door, Ming Xi forced a hand into the crack of the door.

"You're crazy!" He growled repressedly at Ming Xi, out of anger.

If he really closed the door with his backhand just now, it is entirely possible that Ming Xi's hand could not be found in the dark environment; and with his strength, it is entirely possible to directly pinch off Ming Xi's poor arm.

But before he could say anything more, Mingxi pressed the switch next to the door with a "snap", and the living room was instantly lit up with headlights.

Ding Jinyu covered her eyes to adapt to the strong light in the room, and between her fingers, she heard Ming Xi's voice trembling, almost crying——

"Ding Jinyu...you, what's wrong with you?"

When he let go of his hand, he saw that Ming Xi had opened the door and walked in, touched his forehead and looked at his arm, flustered with nervousness, with a look of bewilderment.

"I said, I'm fine." He weakly pushed Ming Xi away, walked to the sofa in the living room and sat down, "You can go."

Ming Xi didn't seem to hear his words at all, so she turned around and rushed into the room.

"I bought iodine and sterile gauze last time, and I left them for you before they were used up..." He rushed into the living room, but froze in front of the fork in the three bedrooms, looking at him with pleading eyes. Ding Jinyu, "Where did you put it?"

Ding Jinyu lowered her head, put one hand on her knee, silently did not say a word, and did not raise her head to look at Ming Xi.

Ming Xi resisted the urge to rush over to hug Ding Jinyu and cry, and carefully scanned the three rooms in front of her.

The last time he entered Ding Jinyu's bedroom, except for an empty wardrobe and a desk full of reference books, there was no other place to store things; he quickly found out the direction of the master bedroom and guessed that things should be placed inside , and rushed in directly.

Ding Jinyu was stunned for two seconds before realizing that the room Ming Xi walked into was the bedroom of her grandparents when they were alive, and there were still photos of her grandparents in it.

He quickly got up and chased after him.

"You do not want……"

But it was still too late, the headlights in the master bedroom had already been turned on.

He was annoyed, wondering if Mingxi would discover something, but he saw Mingxi kneeling on the ground carefully searching the small bedside table, as if turning a blind eye to everything else in the room.

Before he could breathe a sigh of relief, Ming Xi really found out the iodine and gauze left over from last time.

"Need not……"

He was embarrassed to say something, but Ming Xi had already walked over with something and held his hand.

"Go to the living room and let me see, the lights are on in the living room."

The night in early summer in Panyang City was no longer cold, but Mingxi's palms were terribly cold, with a thin layer of sweat, she only held Ding Jinyu's fingers lightly, trembling uncontrollably.

Ding Jinyu could see that although he was pretending to be calm, even his upper and lower teeth were shaking slightly when he spoke, as if he was really frightened.

So the refusal, the cold attitude, and the anger seemed to be useless for a while. Ding Jinyu felt like a marionette, so she was led back to the living room by Mingxi, and pressed on the sofa.

He leaned on the back of the sofa and raised his head, Ming Xi was carefully treating the wound on his forehead.

Although he didn't look carefully, he probably knew before going home that there should be two wounds on his body, his forehead and right hand.

There should be some blood on his forehead, he can feel it, but the wound is definitely not serious, because there is no dizziness, nausea, or too much pain.

But even with his eyes closed, he could still feel that something was wrong with Ming Xi.

Because Mingxi also helped him treat the wound last time.

As Ming Xi said, probably because she often had to help her younger sister treat her wounds when she was a child, that time Ming Xi's hands were very steady and her movements were very skillful.

But today Ding Jinyu could clearly feel that although Mingxi was careful not to breathe, the movements of her hands were shaking uncontrollably.

He opened his eyes slightly, and saw Ming Xi leaning over in front of him, their faces were very close, but Ming Xi only stared at the wound seriously, completely unaware that he opened his eyes.

Before that, Mingxi in his eyes was always smiling and strong. Although he didn't know what happened to Mingxi, even the current messy life never took away the dimples on Mingxi's face.

Even though Wang Lei was cornered by Wang Lei with his face covered in blood, he could clearly see the stubbornness in Ming Xi's eyes.

If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, he probably would never have believed that a person like Ming Xi would have red eyes.

He even wondered if the blood on his forehead flowed into his eyes just now, which made his vision red.

Seeing the moist light flashing in the bright and fair eyes, as if it would rain any second, he couldn't help reaching out his hand, as if he wanted to touch the light in the other's eyes, which seemed to be forever out of reach for him. the warmth.

This movement of raising his hand was almost unconscious. He forgot that his right hand was also injured, and it should be more serious than his forehead.

"hiss--"

Ding Jinyu hissed slightly, so frightened that Ming Xi immediately stopped what he was doing, and a layer of cold sweat formed on his forehead in an instant.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry..." He apologized again and again, "Did I hurt you?"

"Is the wound hurting, or somewhere else?"

"Are you still uncomfortable? Do you feel sick?"

He frantically tried to touch Ding Jinyu's forehead, and at the same time turned around to pour water as if thinking of something, only to find that Ding Jinyu was clutching his forearm when he got up.

"What happened to the hand?"

He hastily put down the water glass in his hand and threw it back to Ding Jinyu's hand. He was in a complete mess. The mug fell to the ground with a "bang", but he didn't care. He just forcibly pulled away Ding Jinyu's concealed left hand and found The opponent's right forearm was already swollen up to a great height.

It was much more serious than the fight with Wang Lei last time.

Of course, it is much more serious. Last time Ding Jinyu used his forearm to block the broken sticks that Wang Lei picked up on the ground. Today, the flower-armed man and his group used stainless steel throwing sticks.

But Ding Jinyu didn't want to tell Ming Xi about this.

"It's nothing." He coldly pushed the person away, took out the phone with his left hand and looked at the time, "You should go, my sister still..."

Ming Xi seemed unable to hear Ding Jinyu's words at all, nor could he see the other party's cold attitude, so he grabbed Ding Jinyu's hand holding the phone.

"Go to the hospital, okay?"

Ding Jinyu saw a teardrop finally rolling down from those big moist eyes.

"Ding Jinyu..." Ming Xi's voice was choked up, "Please..."

He lowered his head, and the tears dripped one by one on the white school uniform shirt, forming circles of distressing water stains.

Once, the car accident in the third year of junior high school changed his life. From then on, he thought that nothing could make him feel so uncomfortable and afraid.

"Go to the hospital...don't drive me away..."

Fear and heartache tore at him so hard he could barely breathe.

"I beg you……"

The hospital is always a dull and depressing place, as if it is busy 24 hours a day, and there is never a shortage of patients and family members who are in a hurry or look anxious.

Mingxi lost her mother here, and Ding Jinyu lost her grandfather and grandmother here, which almost changed the trajectory of their lives. They didn't like it here.

But something is different today.

The familiar and irritating smell of disinfectant still lingers on the tip of the nose, but no one recalls the scene at that time.

Mingxi was busy with Ding Jinyu's registration form and medical records in one hand, and forced to support Ding Jinyu, who was much taller than herself, in the other hand.

Ding Jinyu watched his "former tablemate" running around him like a virtuous little wife.

Ming Xi leaned forward to listen to every word the doctor said, never letting go of any doubts, and had to double-check it several times; finally, after all kinds of laboratory tests were prepared, he immediately went to calculate the price and pay the fee Before he left, he had to specially arrange Ding Jinyu on a chair, and told him to sit down and not move around several times like coaxing his sister.

Ding Jinyu didn't like the hospital, not only because he lost his grandparents here, but also because every time he went to the hospital, he was alone after his grandparents left.

At that time, seeing the patients around me followed by one or two family members with anxious faces, each of them was so dazzling.

Now that Ming Xi is so busy beside him, he somehow feels that today's fight is the most worthwhile fight in his life.

He watched Ming Xi's back rushing towards the payment window, and halfway there he raised his hand to wipe his sweat, and couldn't help but smile with the corners of his mouth curled up.

Fool, it's not my leg that hurt.

Although he murmured and complained about Ming Xi in his heart, he was still warm, as well-behaved as Ming Mei, and sat obediently on the chair without moving his place.

But soon, he couldn't laugh anymore——

Because Mingxi returned after paying the fee, and rented a wheelchair back by the way.

Ding Jinyu frowned, "I didn't hurt my leg!"

"But you hurt your head." Ming Xi's big eyes were exceptionally bright after being washed by tears, the corners of which were innocently drooping, and she looked at Ding Jinyu pitifully, "You are not my younger sister, you are too tall, I can't recite it." move you..."

"What if you hit your head again?"

"What if you feel uncomfortable waiting?"

"What if I faint?"

Looking at Mingxi's innocent and serious appearance, Ding Jinyu was really afraid that he would make red eyes with him in the hospital. Although he rolled his eyes countless times in his heart, he finally compromised and sat in the wheelchair.

Facing the eyes coming and going in the hospital, he was just pushed up and down by Mingxi for a big circle of examination; even if the doctor thought there was no problem, he still did some brain CT at Mingxi's insistence Kind of thing.

After confirming that he didn't have concussion or other problems, Ming Xi felt relieved and thanked the doctor again and again.

Although there was no problem in the examination, Ding Jinyu felt that his brain was probably not very good, and that's why he let Ming Xi mess around in the hospital all night in such an embarrassing manner.

It was almost midnight when the two walked out of the hospital, leaving the area where the disinfectant smelled, and there were only two teenagers waiting for the bus on the side of the street.

The night wind blew Ding Jinyu awake for a while.

Today he is used to Mingxi busying herself in the hospital, so next time, how will he face the hospital alone?

When he came back to his senses, he reached out to stop the taxi on the side of the road, and his first reaction was to hide.

"Ding Jinyu." After walking out of the hospital, Mingxi finally stopped being so flustered, and only lightly grabbed Ding Jinyu's hand that was about to pull the car door, "In the future——"

"Stop fighting."

Ding Jinyu's hand held by Ming Xi froze, and said coldly, "I didn't lose again."

Today, the flower-armed man brought a dozen or twenty people, but those who stepped forward to fight were less injured than him. Of course, he felt that he was not a loser.

Ming Xi didn't rush to refute, but Ding Jinyu could feel the hand holding his wrist trembling slightly due to the added force.

"Why?" Ming Xi asked.

His eyes were so aggrieved and distressed that Ding Jinyu could only lightly release his hand holding the handlebar of the taxi.

Ming Xi didn't force her, she just lowered her head and politely apologized to the taxi driver waiting in the car.

Watching the car drive away, Ding Jinyu sighed inaudibly.

Because I saw Zhou Hao confessing his love to you, and because I saw the shock in your eyes, I felt very uncomfortable.

Of course Ding Jinyu couldn't say that.

He stared at himself intently with his big bright eyes, which reflected the fragmentary light of street lamps.

The reason why the flower-armed man entangled Ding Yinan was that the ins and outs happened just before and after Ding Jinyu's return to Panyang City, and he probably knew about it.

The group of the flower-armed man was sent to the hospital because of a fight before, and it happened to be the family where Qin Yuxi worked. Qin Yuxi who passed by was just kind enough to help the other party point the way, but it attracted the repeated pestering of the flower-armed man.

She knew Ding Yinan's temper so well, she didn't dare to tell her at first, until finally she couldn't bear the harassment and the hospital came forward to report to the police, and finally she couldn't hide it.

Ding Yinan blew up on the spot, and almost missed the police station, and fought with the gang of flower-armed men in front of the police.

That's how Liang Zi ended up, including the fight he had in that alley before school started last semester.

Naturally, Ding Jinyu couldn't tell the reason for the fight today, so he had to tell Ming Xi about the things behind it.

Ming Xi suddenly realized "Oh".

"It's that alley again!" His little face was flushed with anger, "It's too evil, that alley must be poisonous!"

"I also encountered it last year. A group of people chased a girl and ran into the alley. I even called the police!"

Ding Jinyu still remembers that the last time a voice shouted "the police are here" at the entrance of the alley, and then the siren sounded, which ended the fight; when he glanced back, he seemed to see a man in a school uniform The skinny boy ran past, but he didn't pay attention at all at the time.

original……

"That person that day—" he turned his head to look at Ming Xi, "is it you?"

"Yes."

Ming Xi nodded her head as a matter of course, but realized something was wrong later, she stared at Ding Jinyu's eyes in a little surprise.

He saw a group of people chasing a girl on the way from school that day, so he hurriedly called the police, and then rode his bike all the way to the alley, wanting to go in and help, but anxiously waiting at the alley to give the police directions. , so I only glanced at the people in the alley from a distance.

Thinking about it now, the girl at that time and the tall boy who appeared in the alley later, in terms of their stature and fighting vigor, were indeed like Ding Yinan and Ding Jinyu.

"Yes, yes..." His tongue was tied in surprise, "It's you!"

Ding Jinyu nodded.

On the side of the quiet street, the two teenagers looked at each other, and after a long while, they both laughed out loud.

Suddenly, inexplicably, they met a day earlier.

"Ding Jinyu." Mingxi shook Ding Jinyu's good left hand, "Next time sister Yuxi has something to do, you can call the police, fighting is too dangerous."

He put away his smile and looked at Ding Jinyu seriously, "The people around you will be worried."

"I..." Ding Jinyu looked at Ming Xi's big sincere eyes, and paused, "No."

There is no one around him who is worried, even if there is, it is all over.

"Why not?" Mingxi retorted solemnly: "Isn't Sister Nan a human being? And Sister Yuxi, if she knows that you were hurt because of her, she won't blame herself, won't she be sad?"

"They know you're hurt like this, won't they be worried?"

Ding Jinyu hurriedly stopped him, "Don't tell Ding Yinan."

He would fight with the flower-armed man, more or less because his tone today was too unpleasant, and he didn't want others to misunderstand and worry.

"What about me?" Ming Xi looked at Ding Jinyu, pursed her lower lip tightly, an unnatural blush appeared on her cheeks, "Ding Jinyu, I don't want to see you hurt again, no matter what the reason is, I never want to."

The next day Ding Jinyu opened his eyes on his big bed. The painkillers and anti-inflammatory drugs prescribed by the hospital had a somewhat sedative effect. He slept in a slumber all night, and Ming Xi, who was under the street lamps last night, kept appearing in front of his eyes.

The tight lower lip seemed to be trying to restrain some emotion, and the cheeks and eyes were unnaturally red.

And Mingxi's tears that fell on her school uniform shirt last night.

Ming Xi threw herself into his arms on New Year's Eve, the warmth in his hands made her feel so comfortable that she couldn't bear to let go of her.

His bright hands can easily put him to sleep...

All the memories were divided into disordered and chaotic pictures, scattered in the muddy dream of last night, and scattered in front of my eyes.

I don't know if it's because of those fragments or the effect of the medicine, but he seemed to be conscious when he fell asleep, and he seemed to be still in a dream when he woke up.

But there is one thing he can be sure of, he likes the way Mingxi is so worried about him that he is at a loss, and likes Mingxi nervously walking around him in the hospital.

But now the house is empty, and he is still alone.

The most frightening thing was that he seemed to be unable to get used to being alone anymore.

Since moving out of Ming Xi's house, especially after New Year's Eve, he has almost never stopped taking medicine, but his spirit is still not good.

What is more terrifying than drug dependence is the dependence on Ming Xi, he seems to be unable to quit no matter how hard he tries.

Ming Xi came and then left.

Ding Jinyu felt that nothing had changed in her life, yet everything seemed to have changed.

His childhood was lively too, with his grandparents doting on the next generation, but also criticizing and educating him at the right time; there was also his fierce and fearless cousin, Ding Yinan seemed to snatch everything from him, but People outside are not allowed to bully half of his hair.

Although he has no parents, he once felt that he received no less love than any child from a healthy family.

His life was once lively.

God knows how long it took him to adapt after leaving Panyang City. He is the only one left to adapt to this world.

And he was only nine years old then.

He obviously has adapted well, why did Ming Xi show up?

So calm, let him not check at all.

Probably getting used to the warmth is much easier than getting used to the cold, especially the warmth brought by Ming Xi with the smell of fireworks that he was so familiar with; so much so that he finds it so difficult to get used to when he returns to the lonely world.

The lively sitcom will echo in the big empty house, and the musty smell unique to the old house has finally replaced the faint lemon scent——

If he hadn't left for a short time, he almost forgot that his world was so empty.

And the emptiness after the excitement is doubled.

How can a person feel better?

He just leaned against the head of the bed blankly like this, on the one hand, yearning for warmth, and on the other hand, Mingxi's shocked eyes when facing Zhou Hao's "confession"...

Ming Xi...

should……

I don't like boys.

It wasn't until the time for class was over that he reluctantly took out his mobile phone, took a photo of yesterday's medical record and sent it to Mr. Song to ask for leave.

He likes to see Mingxi worrying about him, and also likes Mingxi to circle around him, but he doesn't want to admit what this kind of liking is; I can't say I like it.

In this way, he lingered on the bed until noon. Even if he didn't go to school, he should have a meal and read a book. After all, the midterm exam was less than a month away.

Reluctantly, he took out his mobile phone and ordered takeaway, got up to wash up, and within 10 minutes, there was a knock on the door.

He just took off his school uniform that was stained with blood yesterday just before washing up, and it is still soaking in the basin. The knock on the door was a little hasty, as if the whole world was urging him.

Anyway, it's just a takeaway.

He thought about it, and didn't bother to find the clean clothes that were still locked in the suitcase, so he just walked to the door with his slippers on, opened a crack in the door and stretched out his hand, but he didn't wait for the takeaway bag to hang on his hand for a long time.

"Ding Jinyu?" Ming Xi poked half of his head through the crack of the door.

Mingxi couldn't wait for anyone all morning, and she was used to Ding Jinyu not replying to his messages, so she ran directly to Teacher Song's office.

"Ding Jinyu, I'm on leave."

Teacher Song was thinking while talking, should she protect the privacy of the students, or should she trouble Ming Xi to stop by after school to see Ding Jinyu, who lives alone and is injured, after all, she has to watch the boarding students for evening self-study at night, so she has no time to spare.

But before her words fell to the ground, Ming Xi had already disappeared at the door of the office in a gust of wind.

Ding Jinyu's hand was injured yesterday, and Mingxi had already gone home to ask Ming's father to make bone soup. After school at noon, he hurried home, heated up the soup and a few side dishes, put them in an insulated bucket, and rushed to Ding Jinyu's house.

He was lying on the door panting now, and he saw his "former deskmate" half-naked at a glance, staring at him dumbfounded.

With a "swipe", both of them blushed.

Ding Jinyu went into the room to change clothes, and dawdled for a long time without daring to leave the room, fearing that he and Ming Xi would look at each other in embarrassment in the living room.

Until he vaguely heard the sound of water coming from the direction of the bathroom.

He walked out of the room lightly, and saw that the living room was empty, only the thermos brought by Ming Xi was quietly placed on the coffee table.

"Have you changed your clothes?" Ming Xi heard the sound of the door opening and came out of the bathroom, pointing to the thermos bucket on the tea table, "Hurry up and eat while it's hot, you're a sick person, it's not good for your health if you get cold."

Ding Jinyu looked at Ming Xi's hands covered in soapy foam, "You..."

"I really can't wash it off." Mingxi turned around and took out Ding Jinyu's school uniform soaked in it from the basin, squeezed out the water and shook it twice, "If the blood gets on it, I have to wash it immediately, I told you yesterday to come back and clean it up Clean it up, you must agree—"

"It was originally a white dress, but now it has been left overnight, and no matter how much you rub it, it still leaves a mark."

Ding Jinyu couldn't believe it.

Mingxi just washed his dirty clothes at his house carelessly?

Ding Yinan didn't even wash his clothes!

He watched Mingxi skillfully hang the clothes on the hanger and hang them on the balcony, muttering: "But it's okay, I will bring you a bottle of 84 disinfectant bubbles when I come back tomorrow, maybe you can wash them." Lose."

"... Tomorrow?" Ding Jinyu stammered, "Are you... still coming?"

"What will you eat if I don't come?"

Ming Xi took it for granted, turned around and went into the kitchen to take out clean bowls and chopsticks, washed them carefully with water, and then went to the living room to take out the food and hot soup from the thermos.

"Hurry up and eat, it's going to be really cold." Turning around, he saw Ding Jinyu still in a daze in the living room, staring at Ding Jinyu's injured right hand, "How about—"

"I feed you?"

Ding Jinyu was so frightened by this sentence that he came back to his senses, hurried to the small tea table and sat down, picked up the spoon that Mingxi thoughtfully prepared for him.

He was eating absent-mindedly, while Mingxi on the other side had already started to tidy up with his hands and feet; he was a good boy, but he looked like a virtuous little daughter-in-law now.

"You..." He put down the spoon in embarrassment, "Aren't you going to eat?"

"I do not--"

Before the word "hungry" came out of Ming Xi's mouth, her stomach gurgled in disappointment.

When he came home late last night, he finished tidying up Ding Jinyu and had to take care of other things at home. He slept late and was almost late in the morning, so he didn't bother to eat breakfast; I was doing laundry and cleaning, so busy that I forgot to eat.

He smirked twice, walked to the small tea table and sat down, his dimples timely relieved the little embarrassment.

Ding Jinyu has been alone all these years, and before that there is a family of four, grandparents Jia Ding Yinan, he rarely eats with another person like this.

If anyone insisted on having dinner with him alone, Ding Yinan was the only one.

But it's different from when he and Ding Yinan were fighting over the table, he and Ming Xi are sitting side by side on the sofa, both of them are somewhat reserved.

His spoon and Ming Xi's chopsticks touched a piece of meat at the same time, the two looked at each other awkwardly, and then looked away embarrassedly; Ding Jinyu retracted the spoon awkwardly, Ming Xi would smile and clamp the piece of meat into him bowl.

Ming's father's cooking skills are obviously very good, but Ding Jinyu looked at Ming Xi's dimples and could not taste the taste of the meal.

After school in the afternoon, Mingxi happened to be catching up with Ming's father to go to work. He had to go home to take care of his sister and grandma, so he couldn't run to Ding Jinyu every day. Before he left, he repeatedly told Ding Jinyu to use the microwave oven. Serve hot.

"Eating cold food hurts the stomach, and takeaway is not healthy; you are injured now, so take care of yourself."

Until the others reached the door, they still didn't forget to turn around and chatter again.

"Put the bowls and chopsticks in the pool when you're done using them. I'll wash them tomorrow. Don't push your arm. The doctor told you not to get wet, and don't move too much." He repeated it over and over again tirelessly.

Finally, Ding Jinyu couldn't bear it anymore, bowed his head and curled his lips into a sneaky smile, "Then do you still have a thermos to deliver food tomorrow?"

"Yes." Mingxi replied as a matter of course: "My mother and my sister were both in the hospital before, and there were several thermos barrels prepared at home."

He spoke calmly, but Ding Jinyu clearly saw that the expression in his eyes darkened.

"sorry."

He whispered an apology for being late, for the recklessness when he sat at the same table on the first day, and for accidentally bringing up Ming Xi's sad past now.

"It's okay." Ming Xi pretended to be indifferent, smiled and waved his hands, "It's been almost three years, it's passed."
