to imply

The holiday has officially begun, and the uncle and nephew of the Fang family have followed the usual tradition of staying at home.

Both of them didn't get up until after eleven o'clock, and they slumped together on the sofa for another hour in a daze, and ordered a takeaway after they woke up.

"Dong dong!"

Takeaway has arrived.

"rock-paper-scissors!"

"Hey, I won again, you go and get it."

During the holidays, the furthest distance is from the sofa in the living room to the door to get takeout. Neither of the two lazy people want to move.

Fang Zhi's winning rate in the rock-paper-scissors game against Fang Haisheng over the years was so low that it was almost zero, and this time he lost to Fang Haisheng's scissors as expected.

Resignedly, he stepped on his slippers to get a bottle of water from the refrigerator and walked towards the door.

The young man in dirty work clothes outside the door heard the sound of the door opening, typed and replied to the WeChat message with his left hand, and passed the takeaway forward with his right hand: "Your takeaway has been delivered, I wish you a pleasant meal..."

Before he finished speaking, the weight on his right hand lightened, and then another bottle of water was stuffed into it.

"Thank you...uh..." The boy raised his eyes, and the words "thank you" stuck in his throat.

On the contrary, Fang Zhi raised his eyebrows unexpectedly: "Yu You?"

The takeaway brother Yu You brought his own Mercury retrograde buff today, and it has been in trouble since the morning.

First, he delivered an order late because of a traffic jam, and was given a bad review. Then he ran into a neurotic aunt, who inexplicably caught him and scolded him from upstairs to him. Get in the car and ride away.

Then when he received Fang Zhi's order, he took a shortcut and passed an old narrow alley, but it was covered with slippery moss. One of the rearview mirrors was also broken.

He didn't expect to meet Fang Zhi, and he still looked so embarrassed.

The image of him kneeling in front of Fang Zhi last time is still vivid in his memory, coupled with his current situation, Yu You was so embarrassed that he wanted to bury his head in the ground for an instant.

Fang Zhi couldn't understand Yu You's emotions, so he leaned against the door frame and looked up and down at the young man in front of him: "Are you an adult?"

Yu You was unhappy when someone questioned his age: "Dad...cough, I'll be seventeen in five days. What's wrong? Do I look old?"

"No." Fang Zhi said, "If you are not an adult to deliver food, can you pass the platform certification?"

"Ahem cough cough..." Yu You didn't expect him to hit the nail on the head, "The number is Lao Zhou, a part-time rider. I borrow it occasionally to run bills and earn some pocket money."

Fang Zhi nodded, and asked him again: "Did you fall down?"

Yu You looked down at the dirt on his body, and thought that he couldn't be fooled, so he nodded obediently: "...um."

"Are you hurt?"

Yu You held back his energy all the way, thinking of finishing the order and going home quickly, but he really didn't care whether he was injured or not.

Now being asked, he felt his body carefully and found no discomfort.

"Here, it's bleeding." Fang Zhi raised his chin and pointed to his neck.

Yu You touched his own skin according to his movements, and sure enough, it felt a little moist and slightly tingling.

He stared down at the little blood red on the pads of his fingers in a daze, momentarily dazed.

Seeing his dull and bewildered look, Fang Zhi sighed silently: "Do you have any orders to deliver?"

Yu You shook his head inexplicably.

Fang Zhi took out a pair of slippers from the shoe cabinet: "Come in."

Yu Youyou thought that he was talking about this, and felt embarrassed and unnecessary: ​​"No, no, no, I'll go home straight after I deliver your order, so there's no trouble..."

The voice stopped abruptly after seeing Fang Zhi's bright face, "You don't know what's good".

Yu You swallowed nervously, inexplicably guilty and afraid, always feeling that if he said one more word of rejection, the young boy in front of him would directly suppress him with violence.

That being the case, then... OK.

"Excuse me." Yu You said in a low voice, leaning on the wall and began to change shoes.

Fang Zhi's awkward concern was answered, and his complexion gradually eased.He waited for Yu You to change his shoes, and led the people into the house.

Fang Haisheng was watching a variety show, when he heard footsteps approaching, he saw Fang Zhi leading a dirty young boy in.

His eyes widened in shock, and he stared at the boy without blinking.

Yu You was made uncomfortable by his fiery gaze, and said hello stiffly: "Hello, Uncle."

Fang Haisheng hasn't recovered yet - he hopes so much that Fang Zhi can bring his friends to play at home, but he didn't expect it to happen so quietly and inadvertently.

Yu You didn't get a response, and became even more uncomfortable, looking down at his toes in embarrassment.

Fang Zhi couldn't stand it any longer, so he handed the takeaway to his uncle, and brought him back to his senses by the way.

"Hey... hello, hello, I'm Fang Zhi's uncle." Fang Haisheng came back to his senses, and was instantly ignited with the enthusiasm of "meeting his friends for the first time". Xiaozhi’s classmate? Why are you delivering food? Is it a part-time job? Oops, what happened to this body? Did you fall down? Are you injured? Hey, Xiaozhi, go get some clothes for him! There’s also a medicine box Take it out together too! Hey! Stop standing there so shyly, come and sit with uncle! Have you eaten yet? Come with us..."

"Shy" Vocational High School No. [-] Domineering Classmate: "..."

Fang Zhi, who was completely speechless, turned around and went to the room in silence.

When Fang Zhi came out of the room with a suit of clothes and a medicine box, my uncle and Yu You had already chatted.

"...the Mala Tang here, and the smoked duck on Yansha South Street. Going all the way in Langu Lane, there is a braised meat shop at the very end. The taste... tsk tsk tsk."

"Languxiang lo mei!" Yu You nodded with surprise, "And the chestnut cake from Yuanxizhai! The puff pastry and filling are delicious!"

"Hey! I grew up eating this, and it's still the same taste for more than ten years... No, no, you're already drooling, order takeaway, order takeaway..."

The two foodies didn't meet each other so late, and reported the place names and snacks one after another like a secret sign, so they almost burned incense and prayed on the spot.

Fang Zhi didn't want to recognize the boy who was his age as his uncle, so he stuffed the clothes into Yu You's arms while the two were looking down at the takeaway: "Go change."

Facing Fang Zhi, Yu You, who had been talking eloquently just now, shrank into a little quail, and obediently went to the bathroom to change clothes after answering.

When he came out after changing his clothes, Fang Zhi calmly shook the iodophor in his hand again.

... Although he knew that Fang Zhi was just signaling him to go and treat the wound, Yu You still had a feeling that he was being threatened.

If you don't go there, you will be killed.

Fang Zhi didn't know that his aura was so strong that he could scare Yu Xiaoba. Seeing him moving slowly, he thought his leg was injured: "Leg or foot? Sprained?"

"Ah?" Yu You didn't realize it, and shook his head after seeing the serious expression on Fang Zhi's face, "I didn't twist it, my legs and feet are fine."

In order to prove that he was really sharp-legged, he took a few quick steps to sit down on the sofa, and stretched out his hand to take the cotton swab and iodophor in Xia Zhi's hand, but Fang Zhi dodged it just as he stretched his hand halfway.

"He can't see others getting hurt, and it's not easy for you to deal with that position yourself, so let him do it." Fang Haisheng said at the right time, his fingers fluttering and he was still ordering takeaway.

"Take less, you won't be able to eat and waste later." Fang Zhi persuaded helplessly, then raised his chin towards Yu You, "Lift up your chin."

Yu You followed suit.

Fang Zhi touched the bloody wound on his neck with a cotton swab soaked in the liquid medicine, his hands were gentle and slow, so that he felt no discomfort except for the occasional slight tingling when the liquid medicine seeped into the wound.

Yu Yu glanced down casually, and he could see Fang Zhi's slightly frowned eyebrows and serious expression.

He didn't know much about Fang Zhi, and he only met him a few times, but he often heard things about Fang Zhi from Xu Xie.

The Fang Zhi in Xu Dacai's mouth is soft and kind, sensitive and careful, flesh and blood, fresh and bright.

He never believed it, and sneered every time, saying that Xu Xie's description did not correspond to reality.

But the Fang Zhi in front of him now is indeed closer to the Fang Zhi that Xu Xie spoke of.

With the indifference gone, a certain young man surnamed Fang is still quite friendly.

Yu You was in a trance, until Fang Zhi stuck a piece of medical gauze to the wound on his neck before he came back to his senses, and said in horror: "Isn't there just a cut in my neck?"

...why do you act like you've been shot?

Fang Zhi explained solemnly while packing the medicine box: "Prevent infection."

Fang Haisheng was overjoyed when he heard his reason that hadn't changed for a hundred years, and while Fang Zhi was going to put away the medicine box, he quietly whispered to Yu You: "He has been like this since he was a child. It is said to prevent infection. When I was peeling pears, I cut a small hole with a fruit knife and put a band-aid on it, but he saw it and insisted on dealing with it. The treatment... I know What's more, I made a cut, and those who didn't know thought that my whole finger was broken."

Fang Haisheng gestured on his fingers the effect of Fang Zhi's package at that time, helpless and funny: "This poor kid looks cold and proud, and he is no worse than anyone else when it hurts. You know I'm a pear cut He never let me touch a knife after his hand...Here, just this apple, which he peeled for me."

Yu You felt a burst of emotion when he heard it, and he thought that Fang Zhi was really the image spokesperson for the word cold-faced and warm-hearted.

After sighing, he was chatting with Fang Zhi's uncle when the WeChat notification sounded.

Opening it, it was the reply message he got after he sent a message to Xu Dacai to pick him up.

[Brother Xu]: I'm here, I saw your car, where are you?

Yu Youzheng chatted with Fang Haisheng so excitedly that he couldn't bear to leave for a while, so after asking Fang Haisheng if he could bring his friends over to play and getting great approval, he happily reported the address of Fang Zhi's home to Xu Xie.

Five minutes later, Fang Zhi, who came out of the bathroom shaking the drops of water on his hands, saw Xu Xie who was standing at the entrance of his house, greeting him politely.

Fang Zhi: "..."

Xu Xie: "..."

The two were surprised and surprised, and after looking at each other for a few seconds, they spoke at the same time——

Fang Zhi: "Why are you here?"

Xu Xie: "What a coincidence."

Fang Haisheng, who heard the conversation between the two, looked more surprised than Xu Xie: "They know each other?"

Yu You introduced at the right time: "The two of them not only know each other, they are also roommates. They are very close."

Fang Haisheng was even more pleasantly surprised: Feelings are the source of his family's Fang Zhi's growth.

Yuanshui Xu Xie didn't notice Fang Haisheng's gradually loving eyes, and he was explaining to Fang Zhi why he appeared here with a smile.

Although Yu You was pretending to be a school bully, he was actually a little princess on the inside, and he couldn't bear to be wronged. Once he fell down with a car, he sent a message to Xu Xie, asking him to come pick him up.

"I sent him a message when I got here, and he asked me to come up." Xu Xie blinked innocently.

Fang Zhi's question mark was subconsciously blurted out out of complete surprise, without any emotion, but after Xu Xie explained it so solemnly, he felt a little awkward instead.

He had very little experience in interpersonal communication, and he didn't know what to say in this situation, so he could only say "sit" to Xu Xie dryly, to express that he didn't mean to be unwelcome.

When Xu Xie received the news from Yu You, he was studying the bookshelf that had suddenly fallen apart at home.

The bookshelf was assembled by Xu Likai when he was still alive.

At that time, he didn't like reading. When he was lying on the bed reading comic books, he caught a glimpse of his father who was a carpenter busy assembling bookshelves. He didn't take it seriously.

"Stinky boy, you're still so confident without studying!" Xu Likai reprimanded him, got up and wiped off his sweat before continuing to move his hands.

Although Xu Xie and Xu Likai are father and son, but no matter in terms of appearance or temperament, they are very similar.

What Xie Wen once said was very practical: How could such an honest and responsible person like Li Kai give birth to such a wild son.

The wild son Xu Xie made his mother not convinced, so he opened his mouth and said, "Am I the only child of Xu father? I am so wild, I didn't inherit it from my father Xu, but I inherited it from my mother!"

Xie Wen was very annoyed by his attitude of not being big or small: "If you inherited it, I wouldn't be what I am now!"

Xu Likai was nervous, and he was no stranger to the occasional quarrels between the two of them when they were children. He happily watched the play from the sidelines, and from time to time he would say something to add fuel to the quarrel between the two of them.

Just such a weak man, but delicately embodies love, tolerance and respect in every part of his life.

When he was assembling the bookshelf, he muttered to Xu Xie: "The comic books are thrown here and there, and I don't know how to pack them up...Here, the shelf is built for you. From now on, the comic books will be put away." Here, do you hear? Also, smoke less, the smell will be brought into the house, and your mother will say you when she smells it."

The half-grown boy was reading the manga and saw the highlights, and he just responded casually when he heard the words.

When an accident happened later, the bookshelf that Xu Likai assembled bit by bit by himself became Xu Xie's spiritual pillar for a while.Every time he wakes up from the dark nightmare with tears on his face, only by seeing the outline of the bookshelf through the dim light outside the window can he beat a heart that is about to be squeezed out of his throat. Slowly drop back into the chest cavity.

During that most difficult time, he even felt that Father Xu's soul resided on that bookshelf, looking at him silently and tenderly, silently conveying the message "I'm still here".

In the past two years, all the comic books on the bookshelf have been replaced one after another with study guide books, but it has always been strong, just like the raging love condensed on it, it has never changed.

When the bookshelf collapsed, Xu Xie was crouching on the desk next to him, doing his homework.

Without warning, there was a "bang", which shocked Xu Xie's head into a daze.

Facing the scattered planks and screws all over the place, the fear, grief and confusion of two years ago seemed to have traveled through time and space, and once again tightly clenched his throbbing heart.

As Qingming approached, he already had a feeling of empty loneliness, and the falling apart of the bookshelf added a layer of gloom to this feeling of loneliness that came from nowhere.

——He has a kind of panic that he lost his father Xu again.

He was empty physically and mentally, and he put together the fragments of the place in a daze, trying to assemble them into the original.

But he didn't know anything, he touched the phone in confusion and wanted to Baidu, but the sudden blurred vision made him unable to see the icons on the screen clearly.

Fortunately, no matter how fierce the emotion has been for two years, it won't make him lose his mind when it strikes again.After seeing clearly the drop of water formed by a tear falling on the screen of the mobile phone, Xu Xie took a few deep breaths, trying to suppress the restlessness caused by panic.

After adjusting for about 5 minutes, the buzzing in the ears gradually subsided, and Xu Xie let out a foul breath, and went out of the room to look for tools.
