God said I would meet you

People who originally agreed to only sleep for one night stayed like this day after day.

Every day, when Lin Jinyu went out to work, study, and was busy with his own affairs, Zhang Xinli would clean up at home and prepare meals for him to come back. At first, the two of them didn't have much communication except eating, but gradually they would stay together in the living room. Teasing the dog or something is not very intimate, but the atmosphere gradually became harmonious.

After watching a happy comedian movie together, Lin Jinyu suddenly felt a sense of enlightenment. Although love is an ancient puzzle, he and Zhang Xinli have nothing to entangle. Two adults who are about to graduate and can be financially independent, one is sure to go to school, A graduation job has been decided, and it has nothing to do with the family... The two of them are completely independent now, whether they are together or not is not affected by any external factors, only depends on their own hearts.

He has never doubted his own heart. As for the other heart... He figured it out, let's take a look, but it's not a depressed, entangled look, but a leisurely look.

"It's almost the end of the month. I don't know when the landlord will come to read the water meter at night." In the evening, Lin Jinyu came back from work.As soon as he pushed open the door, the dog immediately jumped up to welcome him warmly. Lin Jinyu said while parrying: "If I'm not there by then, you open the door...you don't have anything to do at night."

"No, except for a video call with my brother." Zhang Xinli had just finished cooking, and came to greet him: "Are you busy tonight?"

It's the end of the year again, it's the twelfth lunar month, and it's time to connect with relatives and friends.

"Several juniors asked me for postgraduate entrance examination materials, and I made an appointment to give them to them at night." Lin Jinyu took off his heels, hat and scarf, rubbed his hands, and said, "It's really cold."

Although the snow is getting heavier every time, it is not considered the coldest few days of the year. In another week, it is estimated that it will be more than ten degrees below zero, and boiling water will turn into ice.

"It won't be cold when I come back," Zhang Xinli said, "I boiled hot water on the table, I can soak whatever I want to drink, be careful not to burn it."

Is this the benefit of having someone at home? Lin Jinyu thought while feeling the steaming heat of the boiling water: When I came back, the room was deserted, not to mention hot rice, not even a cup of hot water, but now I have it all at once. There are also people reminding you to be careful.

It's really lonely to live alone.

The dog ran wildly at the feet of the two, and there were three hot dishes on the table, including two meat dishes, one vegetarian dish, and no chili peppers.Lin Jinyu glanced at it, and said in a casual tone, "I'll make two more dishes when I'm ready to eat later."

"What's the matter?" Zhang Xinli thought he had made a mistake again: "You don't like these?"

These days, he was really cautious and tried his best to make Lin Jinyu happy. After all, the house belonged to someone else. As long as there was any conflict, no matter how big or small, Lin Jinyu could drive him back if he was unhappy.

"No." In fact, Lin Jinyu is not so cold-blooded and ruthless. These days, he often sees some expressions on Zhang Xinli's face that he has never seen before. It's the same in hot water...but it's kind of fun.

He didn't explain too much, and turned his head into the kitchen. Zhang Xinli thought he was dissatisfied, and stood there in a daze.

Lin Jinyu turned his back to him, and a playful smile could not help but hang on the corner of his mouth. Ten minutes later, he came out of the kitchen with a plate of fried pork with green peppers sautéed in spicy oil, expressionless, and put it on the table.

Zhang Xinli obviously didn't expect that he was going to do this, so he froze in place unexpectedly, as if he couldn't believe it, and said, "You..."

"There's no need to be moved," Lin Jinyu always said softly, "It's just convenient."

He opened the refrigerator door and inspected it, and said: "I don't eat pepper, so I don't always have it in the house. I can make boiled pork slices and use pepper to make do with it."

Zhang Xinli said, "You can do whatever you want."

Lin Jinyu took out another piece of meat from the freezer, and Zhang Xinli followed him into the kitchen, saying, "Actually, there's no need to do it, there are already four dishes, and I can't finish it."

"Just eat the vegetarian ones. If you can't finish the meaty ones, you can eat them tomorrow." Lin Jinyu poured water into the pot and said, "You don't even like the dishes you fried. How can there be such a stupid man like you?"

He opened his mouth in a cheerful manner, unaware that the two dishes he was frying now were not the same, and he would not eat them at all.

The smell of oil was stifling, and Zhang Xinli stood at the kitchen door, watching Lin Jinyu's busy back under the exhaust fan for a long time.

The hard work of the past few days seems to have finally paid off. It turns out that Huang Tian really paid off. Lin Ye is right, even if it is a piece of ice, if it is kept in his arms for a long time, it will be able to warm it up one day.

"The oil is a bit fried, help me get an apron, it's just behind the door," Lin Jinyu now has only a few clothes, and it's very troublesome to splash oil, so he casually ordered Zhang Xinli: "Do me a favor, I can't get rid of it." hand."

Zhang Xinli walked closer as he said, and took the apron from the hook behind the kitchen door.

Lin Jinyu was looking for pepper powder among the seasonings while looking at the fire—it was not commonly used, so it was stored in a corner, and it took a long time to find it without picking up the bag and moving the jar.

"Help me fasten it," he stretched his neck and put it on, but he had no hands to fasten it back, so he called Zhang Xinli and said, "Thank you."

Zhang Xinli stood behind him, slowly stretched his hand across his waist, found two slender fabric straps, then bent his arms back and tied them in a knot.

Lin Jinyu concentrated on putting the seasoning into the pot, and she didn't seem to mind him being so close without the attitude of rejecting people thousands of miles away at the beginning.

After Zhang Xinli helped him fasten the apron, he didn't leave. He just withdrew his hand and looked at him very closely.

The heat wave from the gas stove was sizzling. After removing the bloated jacket, Lin Jinyu was only wearing a loose beige sweater with a small round neck. The collar of the shirt was clean and ironed straight. It looked very homely and everyday.

There is a saying that people who love each other can smell each other's unique smell.Zhang Xinli didn't know if there was any scientific basis for this statement, maybe it was true.Although most of the human receptors have degenerated, they are still natural creatures that secrete hormones, and they can still use their highly degenerated chemoreceptors to feel the different fragrance in the vast sea of ​​people when they meet their lovers.

Zhang Xinli felt it - when he leaned over, he clearly smelled the manly smell on Lin Jinyu's body, not perfume, not shower gel or washing powder, but a natural hormonal smell.

Lin Jinyu flipped the spatula in his hand, and the sliced ​​meat smelled spicy. He didn't seem to realize that someone was watching him.

Physical contact is a very important part of intimacy. Most people are eager to get closer to the person they like, want to hold hands, want to hug, want to kiss, and want to do other more intimate things.Zhang Xinli just looked at him very closely, seeing his back wrapped in a sweater, his short but soft hair, his hands cooking for him, and his clean neck exposed under his collar.

In Zhang Xinli's memory, the only person who cooked for him was his mother, but that was a long time ago, as far back as when he first remembered, and it seemed that he was the only one. Cook for others, no one has done it for him.

"Jinyu..." When he put on the apron just now, his movements were almost half-embracing. Now, under the double stimulation of the smell of hormones and the picture, he found that his desire to touch Lin Jinyu was almost uncontrollable.

Lin Jinyu only heard the very familiar voice call her name, and then felt the hands that had been honestly retreating from her chest when she found the strap three minutes ago stretched out again, and then tightened dishonestly——tough really hugged him.

"Jinyu..." Zhang Xinli yelled again in a low voice, this time he yelled close to his ears, he hugged him tightly, from his crotch to his chest, tightly clung to him.

"..." Lin Jinyu thought to herself: What is this, the husband who cooks is the most charming?What a mess.

"Let go," he turned over the contents of the pot without changing his expression, as if he was not surprised at all, and said, "Who asked you to hug me."

"No one," Zhang Xinli saw him cooking for himself, and felt that Lin Jinyu's attitude had softened greatly, so he was no longer as cautious in his words as before, and said, "Myself."

He let himself hug, he wanted to hug.

"Do I have anything to do with you?" Lin Jinyu glanced at Huo, as if no one else was around, reached out and took a piece of meat with chopsticks to taste the saltiness, without struggling, and talked to him: "Who allows you to hug me?" .”

Zhang Xinli whispered: "You care about me and make things for me."

"So what?" Lin Jinyu put down his chopsticks and started to prepare the pot. He said in a calm tone, "I'll let you hug me if I cook two dishes for you. If I invite you to have a cup of milk tea, does it mean that I agree to be with you?" bed?"

Zhang Xinli said, "Of course not."

"That's terrible," Lin Jinyu lazily elbowed him, "Get up, don't touch me."

Zhang Xinli did not let go.He didn't want to let go, and he didn't dare to let go. He felt that if he let go this time, he wouldn't know when he would be able to hug him next time.

That little thought was written on his face, Lin Jinyu turned his head to look back, and thought it was funny, but he still didn't struggle, he was too lazy to waste his energy.

"Jinyu..." Zhang Xinli just called him, rubbing against his shoulder like a big dog, "Let's start over, shall we?"

All the things he did for so many days conveyed this message, and today was the first time he made it clear.

He said: "I'm about to graduate. Because of you, I have found a job in Shanghai, so I can stay with you at your house. I'm not the only child now, so I don't have to worry too much about my family."

The most difficult time has passed. Countless running-in and countless hardships have made them no longer simply students in the ivory tower or village teenagers who looked forward and backward and worried.

Now they can love clearly and freely.

"Let's talk," Lin Jinyu said lazily, "Take the food away, it's getting cold."

The ink smeared for a long time, and the fried dishes were half cold. Zhang Xinli said those words with infinite expectation and sincerity—just like Lin Jinyu back then.

Therefore, when Lin Jinyu was not very excited, he was as lost and sad as Lin Jinyu was back then.

"Why are you so calm?" Originally, no matter what, Zhang Xinli firmly believed that the old love was still there. Lin Jinyu could not be calm in front of him, which is why he had the courage to chase after him, but the other party's calm reaction now far exceeded his expectations. Outside... Lin Ye said that it's not scary for Lin Jinyu to quarrel with him and reject him fiercely. If he can keep completely calm in front of him, then he really has no chance.

Thinking of this, Zhang Xinli's chest rose and fell more frequently, and his hands started to go up: "You don't like me that much now, do you?"

Lin Jinyu was very familiar with his physical habits, so before Zhang Xinli's tiger's mouth touched his chin, he quickly grabbed the hand with the wrong intention, and then pushed it away vigorously: "Don't show your S nature here," he said : "Don't be strong again, I mean it, first warning, strikeout."

The last time he lost the fight in the piano store, he was really angry. Lin Jinyu thought: It's unreasonable, I don't have any sincerity in chasing people, and if I fight again, I should tie you up and do this and that. Do you still want to show off your prestige?no way.

Zhang Xinli didn't say a word, he went on to say: "It's not 'I don't like you that much now', I don't like you."

I really don't like him, Lin Jinyu told him a long time ago, he doesn't like him, but he loves him.

Zhang Xinli is not like Lin Jinyu, sometimes he is a bit of a straight man, his goldfish can't remember it, so when Lin Jinyu finished saying that sentence, his face immediately darkened.

Lin Jinyu squinted at his expression, and her bad taste was greatly satisfied, and the laughter index in her heart rose to another level... Although he himself knew that he was very childish, he had a wonderful feeling in his heart that he was helping his 17-year-old self to vent his anger.

"Don't like me?" The most unbearable thing for a person who thought he had seen hope is suddenly discovering that hope is just a mirage. Zhang Xinli still didn't let go of Lin Jinyu, as if he didn't intend to let him go: "Is this your truth?"

"For the time being," Lin Jinyu felt that it would be good to stop at the end, and don't take the road too narrowly: "Feeling annoyed? It's good, you've only been in a few days, but I've had a crush on you for four years, what's there to be angry about?" .”

The phrase 'for the time being' made Zhang Xinli calm down a little. Lin Jinyu's words brought back his long memories. At that time, he said much more unfeeling words than Lin Jinyu said now.

They cooked half of the five dishes for dinner, but it was almost cold. Lin Jinyu didn't intend to continue the conversation, but Zhang Xinli seemed to want to say something more. God didn't give him this chance.

The doorbell at the door suddenly rang along with his cell phone.

"Yo, I guess it's your brother," Lin Jinyu guessed right: "Go and answer the phone, my boy, don't get too outrageous here." After speaking, he broke free from his arms, and left with the cold dish.

Zhang Xinli had to give up for the time being. One of the two went to open the door for the landlord who checked the water meter, and the other went to answer the cousin's video call.

Chinese New Year is almost here, and it is the Spring Festival. At this time, he still doesn't know that Zhang Xinhe is about to bring him a surprise.

Before opening the door, Zhang Xinli held the mobile phone and said to Lin Jinyu's back, "I want to start over with you, really."

Lin Jinyu opened the door for the landlord first, and led him to the bathroom to look at the water meter with a friendly face, and then poked half of his head out from behind the frosted glass door, pretending to be calm and said: "Okay, let's start again .”

He said: "From beginning to end, start over, starting from holding hands."
