lightly cooked

When he came back from smoking, Fu Jia had already eaten all the rice.

"Not enough and there are upstairs."

"I am full."

Putting away the chopsticks and the lunch box, guessing that Xu Shuyuan was about to go back, Fu Jia asked, "Can I go up with you? I want to help too."

"No. They should leave after eating. I'll help my sister clean up."

"Ok."

I could only watch him leave.

The sky was getting darker and darker, and it didn't take long for people to come down one after another, whispering to each other as they passed by Fu Jia.He didn't care, just a little worried upstairs.

After much deliberation, he still didn't listen to Xu Shuyuan's words.

Going upstairs, the tables in the room are in a mess, and Xu Jing is emptying bones into the trash can.

"Let me come, sister Jing, I'll help you carry the garbage bag."

"No, no, no, you don't have to intervene." Xu Jing's eyes were red, and she blocked Fu Jia's hands that wanted to help, "You sit next to me, I will be here soon, and I will greet you later."

Fu Jia walked away without saying a word, found a broom and a rag and began to tidy up the corridor.Xu Jing shouted: "Shuyuan, Shuyuan? You come, you come out. Xiao Jia insists on working, but he won't listen to me when I tell him."

Xu Shu was supposed to be washing dishes, but he came out after hearing the sound.Fu Jia turned her head and looked at him with earnest eyes.

"I'll sweep with him in a while."

"Okay." The younger brother spoke, so she had no choice but to agree, "If you don't want to do it, just let it go."

After all, Xu Jing still regarded Fu Jia as a guest, and thought that his family was well-off since he was a child, so he was very careful when getting along.Fu Jia took a breath, shook her head, let herself not think so much, and concentrated on cleaning the cigarette butts on the floor.

Soon Xu Shuyuan came out to help, and the two were much more efficient.After Fu Jia cleaned up the corridor, she went in to let Xu Jing rest.Xu Jing was pushed onto the chair by him, and sat involuntarily. After sitting for a long time, she turned around and wiped her tears with a tissue, but she didn't cry out.

After tidying up the whole house, Fu Jia broke out in a sweat.Going up the mountain tomorrow needs to start early, Xu Jing went back to her room to sleep, and the child was entrusted to the neighbor.

Fu Jia thought he would sleep here too, so he asked Xu Shuyuan whether he slept in the living room or somewhere, he didn't care.

"I'll take you to a nearby hotel." Xu Shuyuan turned around to pick up his things.

"No need, I'll just live here."

"You can only use public toilets here. I don't want you to live in this kind of place because of me."

Fu Jia was stunned for a moment, and she clenched her lips tightly, unable to speak.

The surrounding hotels were not in good condition, so the two walked slowly under the moonlight, looking for them slowly.Xu Shuyuan said: "Take a taxi when you are tired."

Fu Jia felt that he was being too polite, so she responded sadly: "Just take a walk, besides, the scenery here is not bad."

This is a mountain city. The mountains in the distance are covered with clouds and fog, but the town is full of fireworks.

Xu Shuyuan put his hands in his trouser pockets: "There is no economy in a small place, and there are only a few mountains left as scenery. There is nothing to see."

"You can't say that. Developing the tourism economy is also a way." Fu Jia stared at him from behind. His profile was thin and his complexion was not very good, but his back still didn't collapse.Can't help but whisper: "Besides, this is the place where you grew up. Thinking about it, I know that there must be outstanding people."

Such an excellent, such a good you.

Ignoring the far-fetched causal relationship, Xu Shuyuan stopped in front of the zebra crossing and waited for the red light before saying, "Thank you for coming today."

"Thank you, I should have come..."

If I had been by my grandfather's side when he left, maybe they would have been together long ago, and these things would never have happened.This is what Fu Jia regretted the most. He once stabbed Xu Shuyuan hard in his body when he was most sad. Perhaps the wound has not fully healed until today.

I finally found a Samsung hotel, and the front desk asked for ID cards of two people when I opened the room.Fu Jia naturally brought it, but Xu Shuyuan didn't, saying, "I won't stay overnight."

Fu Jia was a little disappointed, but she also knew what was going on now, and she had to postpone any more words.

Two drunk men staggered up the stairs, apparently drunk and unable to find their way home.Xu Shuyuan frowned and looked at it, and pushed open the door on the second floor, and the musty and dusty smell came over his face.

Turn on the light, it is generally clean, but the sheets are occasionally yellow.

"Lock the door at night," he said.

Fu Jia's heart was warmed by warmth: "I know, you should be careful when you go back later."

"I'll take a shower with you before I leave."

After he entered, Fu Jia sat by the bed and looked around quietly.Although I have never slept in such a bad room in the past twenty years, not only do I not feel disgusted, but I hope to stay here as long as possible.

There was the sound of water rushing in the bathroom, water vapor escaped from the loosely closed door, and the air became humid.Fu Jiafa would be dazed, and only then did he feel a little tired.

I've been running all day today, and my mood has ups and downs again. It's normal to be tired.He took out his mobile phone to reply to the message, and his mother just called.

"Hello mom."

"Not asleep yet, son."

He smiled: "You didn't sleep either."

"I'm watching a TV show, what are you up to?"

He was silent and said, "I'm in Xu Shuyuan's hometown. His grandma passed away. I'll come over."

The person on the other end of the phone was too stunned to answer, he probably didn't expect him to be so frank, let alone he actually ran away.Fu Jia continued: "I may go back tomorrow or the day after tomorrow, not necessarily. Don't tell Dad yet, I will tell him when I get back, so as not to embarrass you."

"What do you call that? I don't have anything to embarrass me." It's impossible to catch everyone, and the son's attitude is acceptable, like a responsible adult.Fu Muyu earnestly instructed: "Don't mess around, have you heard that, you should pay attention to safety when you are outside, and don't meddle in other people's affairs."

"I know." He put on a relaxed tone, "I'm just here to express condolences, mom, don't worry."

How can Fu Mu feel relieved, she rambled on for a long time and refused to hang up.He listened, responded, and turned his head inadvertently, and found a tall figure somewhere that seemed to have stayed for a long time.

He hurriedly ended the call: "I'll hang up on Mom first, I'm so sleepy."

Mother Fu moaned and pulled up the line.

"Have you finished washing?" Fu Jia stood up and asked knowingly, a silly question.

Xu Shuyuan's T-shirt was a little wet, and his hair was not blown: "The shower is loose, I'll go find a wrench."

"Oh, good."

Did he hear it?How much do you hear, what do you think?Fu Jia didn't know what to do.After thinking about it, I felt that I was worrying too much, and it didn't matter whether I heard it or not.In the future, I will no longer hide it, whether it is to my parents or Xu Shuyuan, I will do whatever I think in my heart, and I will not be procrastinating and will not hide anything.

Not long after the wrench was found, Fu Jia followed Xu Shuyuan to the bathroom to fix it, and asked him what time he would go up the mountain tomorrow, and he said six o'clock.

"And then, when will you return to Linjiang?"

Xu Shuyuan concentrated on repairing the shower, but didn't answer.Fu Jia waited a little nervously, so she smiled stiffly at the corner of her mouth: "What do you mean, don't talk. I ask you when you will return to Linjiang."

"Not coming back for now."

Fu Jia's lips parted, and they stayed there.

"What do you mean by no return?"

"I'm going to try living in another city." Xu Shuyuan's dark pupils didn't have much emotion, "After the funeral is settled, my sister will go to join the army. I have nothing to worry about. It doesn't matter if I change to a place with a lower cost of living."

Fu Jia's heart twitched violently. He was afraid at first, and then retorted weakly: "The cost of living in Linjiang is not high. You, you are the manager, and your income is considerable. Living life should not be a problem."

Xu Shuyuan laughed at himself: "At least I can't afford a house."

"But...but you are still young, you don't have to worry about your house and car at all, and you have to start all over again when you go to other cities, have you figured it out?"

"It's not that serious."

The shower head was screwed firmly, Xu Shuyuan turned around and said, "Fu Jia, I just want to change the environment."

Change the environment...

Why?Why else.Fu Jia's eyes turned red in an instant, and he lifted his eyes weakly, staring at him intently: "You want to get rid of me, right, because I make you hate you, and you don't want to see me again, so you have to leave."

Before he finished speaking, two lines of tears rolled down, a big tear hanging on the edge of his chin and unable to fall, his eyes were stubborn but his voice was trembling and hoarse.Xu Shuyuan stretched out his hand to wipe it for him, but he trembled violently and turned his head away.

Xu Shuyuan paused with that hand and retracted it.

"I never hated you. On the contrary, I hope you are doing well, and I hope you are happier than anyone else."

"I'll be happy if you stay!" Fu Jia yelled, trying to stare at Xu Shuyuan's eyes with blurred vision, but she couldn't see clearly no matter what.

Xu Shuyuan's eyes flashed, and he hesitated for a moment.The next moment, Fu Jia bumped into his arms without thinking, and tightly clenched her hands tightly, fearing that if she let go, he would disappear.

"I'm in the past tense with you, you have to accept this." Xu Shuyuan tried to pull people away.

"I do not accept!"

Fu Jia struggled to raise her head, and looked at him with a look she had never seen before.That feeling is like the light that once came into your life disappeared and never came back.He didn't say any harsh words, and he didn't make cold words to provoke him. He just expressed his true inner thoughts, which is why he made people despair.

"You didn't give me a chance to prove it to you. You treated me unfairly to Xu Shuyuan."

Xu Shuyuan's body was obviously warm, but this warmth caused Fu Jia's chest to heave violently, and the water in front of his eyes blurred: "Can you give me another chance?"

Unexpectedly, Fu Jia would have such a big reaction, Xu Shuyuan was a little helpless.Fu Jia tightened his arms while trembling, strangling him almost out of breath, but his eyes were fixed on him, and as soon as he moved away, he would catch up again, keeping his eyes on him for a moment.

Xu Shuyuan knew that he would be shaken if it continued like this, so he simply avoided his eyes.But Fu Jia chased him, and after a while, she tiptoed and kissed him, biting his lips.

"Hiss, what are you doing?" Xu Shuyuan forcibly pulled him away, and he lost his temper with tears in his eyes: "Now you don't even want to kiss me, do you? Xu Shuyuan, let me tell you, I will follow you wherever you go in the future. It depends on your family, I don't care where you go, I don't care what job you change, I don't care about 21!"

"Let go, I have business to do tomorrow morning."

Fu Jia simply ran over and locked the door, her back against the door and refused to budge: "I won't let you go."

"how old are you?"

Fu Jia pressed her body firmly against the door, staring stubbornly at the person in front of her.After staring until the courage was almost exhausted, he covered his face with his hands and lowered his head weakly: "Please save me, I am dying."

The expression is like a small animal, and the voice is a little whimpering, no matter how cold-blooded people are, it is impossible to remain indifferent.

Xu Shuyuan pushed open the window and turned his back, the cool breeze finally woke up.Footsteps came from behind him a while later, Fu Jia didn't do anything else, and simply threw the key out of the window.

"You—" Xu Shuyuan turned around and looked at him puzzled.

He looked away awkwardly: "I can't go now."

How can there be such ignorant people.

"Do you know that you don't need a key to open the door from the inside?"

"I know." Fu Jia gritted her teeth and stiffened her neck, "I can't stay here anymore. You can go wherever you like, but don't even think about getting rid of me."

Xu Shuyuan frowned, Fu Jia slowly mustered up the courage to turn his gaze back, and stared at him with a desperate mood.

Time seems to be stretched infinitely, and every minute and every second is drilled into people's brains, tick-tock-tick.

Finally, Xu Shuyuan stiffly turned his gaze away: "Let me remind you, the room rate here is not cheap."

"so what?"

"So please be obedient and don't run around."

"I'm obedient, are you willing to stay?" Fu Jia's voice trembled, "Xu Shuyuan, you dare not even look me in the eyes. You clearly don't want to leave in your heart, why do you force yourself to leave?"

Xu Shuyuan stood there sideways, and it was rare for him to be helpless.Of course he didn't want to leave if he could, but the wounds of the past, the shock of reality and the confusion of the future made him overwhelmed in a short time.

"Let me think about it." He tried his best to calm down, "I need time."

Fu Jia was stunned for a moment, then nodded vigorously, and tears welled up in his eyes.

Xu Shuyuan walked over and touched his face.His features were wrinkled together like a kitten.Xu Shuyuan didn't hold back, bent his index finger and scratched the tip of his nose, and he burst into tears again.

Fu Jia's emotions are always direct and passionate, without any impurities.It was this kind of him who touched Xu Shuyuan's heart again and again, and trapped him in the same place for four years.
