lightly cooked

"Boom boom boom——"

Someone knocked on the door behind him, which also brought Fu Jia back from his trance.

He was so frightened that he pushed Xu Shuyuan away violently, as if he had bitten something in a hurry.Xu Shuyuan frowned, stood up, and waited for a few seconds before opening the door: "Who is it?"

There is a rusty taste on the tongue.

"The tail number is 13xx?"

It's takeaway.

Opening the door, maybe the atmosphere was too weird, maybe Fu Jia's face was too red, the delivery man looked suspiciously into the room.Xu Shuyuan took the bag, closed the door, and the living room fell into a moment of speechless embarrassment.

I must have lost my mind and went crazy just now, Fu Jia thought.

Feeling that there was still a suspicious liquid around his mouth, he raised his hand to wipe it off, but just as he lowered his head, there was an extra tissue in front of him.

"Thank you."

The top of the head is literally steaming, still hot water vapor.

"Just now I—"

"Don't say it!" Fu Jia interrupted loudly, turning his back nervously, "Don't say it. I understand. You didn't mean it. You drank too much to cause this. I won't care about it."

After speaking, he smiled stiffly, showing that he really didn't care.

Xu Shuyuan looked at him with a puzzled expression at first, but then slowly cooled down.

"What if I say I mean it?"

The voice is also cold.

Fu Jia was stunned for a moment, not knowing how to answer these words, he just stood there awkwardly for a long while.

"Forget it." Under the shadow of the light, Xu Shuyuan closed his eyes, his expression was blurred, and he raised his arm indifferently, "Sit down, I'll pour you a glass of water."

"No, I'll be leaving right away."

Xu Shuyuan turned a deaf ear, turned and walked away.

Fu Jia could only sit down on the sofa.

There are still leftovers on the dining table, and there is only a shallow layer of red wine left on the bottom of the bottle.After pouring the water, Xu Shuyuan came over to take away the dishes, and after a brief tidying up, he returned to the living room and took out a box of medicine from the takeaway paper bag.

Seeing him deftly tilting his head up and swallowing a few pills, Fu Jia couldn't help asking: "What is this?"

"Stomach medicine, I feel a little uncomfortable after drinking."

He casually threw the medicine under the coffee table.

Fu Jia glanced and pursed her lips: "The box I gave you before, you won't throw it away."

Thinking of the doctor's business card that was thrown away, I was still angry, and my tone was naturally worse.

"I didn't throw it away, it's in the room."

When Xu Shuyuan spoke, he looked at his eyes first, and then at his lips.His lower lip was bitten a little bit, and it was bright red.

Fu Jia was preoccupied: "Then why don't you eat that?"

"I want to keep what you gave me."

His tone was normal, but Fu Jia's heart thumped, and those defenses were shattered in an instant.

Just because he gave it by himself, he even saved up a box of medicine, reluctant to take it.How can there be such a stupid person?Hopelessly stupid.

He had already planned to pack his bag and leave, but after hearing this, Fu Jia sat down quietly again, feeling a little lost in his heart.

After a long silence, Xu Shuyuan lifted his chin towards the door: "What's in the bag? It's so big."

"Oh," Fu Jia touched his knee, "Well, I brought you some supplements."

After speaking, I also felt that there was no need to be so awkward, so I got up and walked to the door, and brought my backpack over.

"This is a calcium tablet."

"This is fish oil."

"This... this is dried squid, you can eat it directly."

As soon as he put a bag of snacks on the coffee table, someone grabbed his wrist gently, as if to stop him from turning over.

"Take it back, I don't need these."

Fu Jia pulled out her hand and didn't look into Xu Shuyuan's eyes: "Your fracture hasn't completely healed yet, so it's good to take some calcium tablets. Besides, I have a lot of them at home, and my mother asked me to bring some as gifts, so I brought them here along the way... "

"Didn't you quarrel with your parents?"

"..." Why is this person still thinking logically so carefully at this moment, but his own head has become a paste, and he just wants to find a hole to get into.

Fortunately, Xu Shuyuan's phone rang and he didn't continue to press him.Fu Jia sat awkwardly on the sofa, and drank two large glasses of water in succession, so as to dilute the taste of another person remaining in his mouth.

"Hey?"

Xu Shuyuan picked up the phone and came back to turn on the TV for him, and handed him the remote control.He took it and watched Xu Shuyuan walk to the balcony.

I guess it was Miss Jing who called.

The gala show on the TV was at its climax, the host was laughing and laughing constantly, and the picture was lively.

Fu Jia was not in the mood to read it.

Through the sliding glass door, the tall and thin figure became a little lonely, especially when leaning against the balcony.Fu Jia saw him pouring something into the trash can while talking on the phone, and walked in after a while: "Are you cold?"

Fu Jia shook his head.

"Turn on the heater when it's cold, the air conditioner is too old to work."

After speaking, he went to bring the little sun over.After connecting the power and turning it on, the orange light shone warmly on Fu Jia's body, making his face also orange.

In fact, it is still a bit cold, this old house.

He stretched out his hands and approached the little sun, and his hands and feet warmed up quickly.

"Do you want to bake it too?"

Fu Jia moved to the side, and Xu Shuyuan sat down.

The two of them didn't speak for a long time, they warmed the fire in silence, and listened to the laughter in the TV in silence.

"My sister said she asked you to come?" Xu Shuyuan didn't know why he asked suddenly.When he was talking, he looked at the heating plate, but the warm light made his face even colder.

Fu Jia pursed her lips: "She said that you are the only one spending the New Year in Linjiang, anyway, I have nothing to do at home, so I came to play with you."

"playing what?"

"Anything is fine." Fu Jia opened her fingers slightly, "It's just for company."

Xu Shuyuan's eyes were still looking at the heat source: "What I need is not a companion."

Fu Jia didn't quite understand, so she just lowered her head and smiled: "If you don't need someone to accompany you, then just treat it as being with me, the same."

Xu Shuyuan turned his face and stared at him, his black and white eyes were extremely hot.Fu Jia couldn't stand such gazes, and hurriedly avoided them.

"Is that your answer?"

"what……"

Xu Shuyuan lowered his voice: "You know what I'm talking about."

Fu Jia withdrew her hands warming the fire, curled them together, huddled between her knees and denied: "I don't know."

Xu Shuyuan pulled him over and motioned him to look at him, "Don't be stupid, I'm asking if you want to be with me."

The tone was very persistent, and Fu Jia was inexplicably throbbing.He clenched his hands for a while, and said frankly with difficulty: "But I really haven't made up my mind, Shuyuan, I don't know how to answer you."

"So how long do you need it?"

"uncertain……"

Xu Shuyuan didn't pause at all: "I'll wait for you."

wait?How to wait, even he himself doesn't know how long it will be.Fu Jia's lips moved, and she stared at her hands: "Don't put pressure on me, it's good to be friends, I just want to be friends with you."

A trace of disappointment flashed across Xu Shuyuan's eyes: "But I don't want to just be friends with you."

Wanting to do everything that can be done in love, wanting to be the most unique person for each other, these are not the category of friends.

"If that's the case, you shouldn't have come to see me tonight."

"I know." Fu Jia glanced at him quickly, and then quickly moved away, "But I'm afraid you're too lonely, everyone else is reuniting with their families, and you're the only one..."

"I'm used to it." Xu Shuyuan stood up, "I don't need you to pity me."

Fu Jia raised her head abruptly: "Why would you think so, of course it's not pity! This is—"

"It's not pity, what is it?"

Fu Jia was speechless.

"You didn't push me away at the door just now, so how do you explain that?" His face became blurred again under the light.

"I..." Fu Jia lifted her lips and had to admit, "I really don't hate it, but I don't necessarily like it, maybe... maybe I still need time!"

Going around and back to this sentence.

Xu Shuyuan frowned, looked at him deeply for a while, and finally gave up, "Forget it, you can hesitate as long as you want, I'm unlucky for falling in love with you."

Count me unlucky to fall in love with you.

Fu Jia sat in front of the little sun, his cheeks burning hot.

The two were in the same room, but none of the imagined pictures appeared.Thinking that he brought so many snacks, but now he couldn't eat, Fu Jia felt a little sad.

It was approaching twelve o'clock, and the party was getting tired.Xu Shuyuan walked to the balcony, lit a cigarette, held it in his hand, and looked towards the living room through the glass door.

Fu Jia pretended to be watching TV, but he didn't watch it at all, he knew it.Fu Jia was like this when she was uncomfortable, sitting there as if at a loss, warming herself by turning her hands over and over again.

But even so, he didn't want to let Fu Jia go.

Because the place where Fu Jia is always full of sunshine, just like that little sun, the warm orange light makes the whole living room bright.

Xu Shuyuan felt that he was sick again, and this time the illness was worse than last time.

He still refuses to be with me, but this time he is willing to come to me, does it mean that I have no place in his heart?Xu Shuyuan thought sadly.

Twelve o'clock passed like that.

Fireworks are not allowed in the city, and it is still quiet at the beginning of the new year.

Fu Jia sat stiffly, put down the pillow and got up: "I'll sleep on the sofa tonight."

"You sleep in my place, I'll sleep in Qiu Yue's room." Xu Shuyuan said.

"Oh, good." Fu Jia looked back and smiled awkwardly, "I forgot that there is no one in his room."

After Xu Shuyuan changed the bed sheet and quilt cover, moved the little sun and humidifier in, and drew the curtains tightly, Fu Jia came out of the bathroom.

He changed into the pajamas he brought, which looked fluffy and warm.Under the light, the skin is fair and elastic, the hair hangs down to half cover the eyes, and the eyelashes are long and dense.

"Xu Shuyuan, the bathroom drain is blocked." His voice was not loud.

Xu Shuyuan took a look and looked away: "Got it."

He came over and touched the newly changed sheets, lifted the quilt and smelled it again: "Did you just wash it? It's very clean."

"new."

Xu Shuyuan walked to the wardrobe with his back turned.

"Huh?" Fu Jia stared at his back, "Oh, thank you."

It was quite cold in the room, Fu Jia quickly retracted into the quilt, wrapping her whole body tightly and compacted.Xu Shuyuan helped him turn on the heater, turned off the light, and then remembered to ask: "Is there any place you want to go, the two of us will go tomorrow."

Think of it as repaying the favor that he came to accompany me today.

Fu Jia said, "I don't have any ideas, what about you?"

"let it go."

Xu Shuyuan turned and closed the door.

Sleeping quietly in this room belonging to another person, Fu Jia stared at the pitch-black ceiling with her eyes open.

When the two of them discussed where to go after graduation, Fu Jia asked, "Are there any options?" Xu Shuyuan listed them one by one: "National Library, Military Museum, Natural Science and Technology Museum."

Fu Jia wailed, "Isn't there a less boring place?"

"I told you I was boring."

"Boring people go to boring places, and the negative is positive!"

Thinking of the past, he huddled under the quilt and felt sad for a while.

Xu Shuyuan came out of the room to clean the bathroom.Turn on the light, the stagnant water inside is gone, and a little bit of Fu Jia's hair is wrapped around the drain.This scene was expected, as if they had already lived together.

Very ironic.

He threw those few hairs into the toilet, suddenly wanting to vent.

In fact, he had wanted to do this for a long time, but tonight he had a feeling of revenge on the other party.After turning off the lights, he took off his clothes and turned on the shower.The hot water soaked the hair and flowed down the back, and the lines of the abdominal muscles were stretched.

Fu Jia slept next door, less than 20 meters away, and had no idea what was going on in the bathroom.

Xu Shuyuan leaned his right arm against the wall as a support, and his left hand moved rhythmically.The action is fast, but the process is longer than ever.

He gasped slowly, his eyes closed tightly, and what he was thinking of was the most hateful but also the most worrying name.
