Manhattanhenge

Hearing this sentence, Ning Yixiao was slightly taken aback.

after.

He could understand clearly, and knew that this was Su Hui's answer to the question he had offended, but Ning Yixiao didn't dare to delve into it further.

He knows more than that.

The damp and dark rental house, the dim light of the refrigerator, the tranquility after the ambiguity, Su Hui's straight eyes.

Everything points to some sort of overtone.

There are always losers in this game of spin the bottle.

"Sorry." Ning Yixiao could only cover it up with an apology, "I misunderstood you."

In fact, he didn't believe those rumors.

But at that time, I subconsciously wanted to test and listen to Su Hui's own explanation.

"What?" Su Hui smiled, and began to play dumb, "It's over."

He turned his back to Ning Yixiao and washed his hands, "Let's go back to sleep."

Ning Yixiao paused for a moment, then nodded, "Yes."

This time there was no noise from the next door. Su Hui lay quietly on the bed, but it was like an auditory hallucination. The sweet words between the couple next door came to mind.

And that male voice gradually changed to Ning Yixiao's low-pitched tone in the misty rainy night.

He said, do you like me?Like me very much.

Are you happy?

This made Su Hui, who was about to fall asleep, wake up suddenly, and then couldn't fall asleep again.

A room without windows has a fatal flaw. Without sunlight penetrating through the windows, it is difficult for people to wake up naturally.

Ning Yixiao was very tired. He used to wake up at 06:30 in the morning, but on the first day he moved in, he overslept.

He had a long and fragmented dream, most of which were his bad childhood experiences, interspersed with some well-blooming flowers, followed by soft knife-like sunlight, large patches, and finally Su Hui back.

The sunlight between them is so abundant that it seems that there is a complete sun between them.

The moment he suddenly woke up, Ning Yixiao's heart beat so fast.The room was dark, but he immediately found that the bed was empty and there was no one there. When he turned on the phone, it was almost eleven o'clock at noon.

He was covered with the blanket left for Su Hui, which was very cheap. After three years of use, after washing and washing, it had already pilled and turned white.

There were some noises outside, Ning Yixiao stopped his daze, stood up and opened the door to go out, the light was on outside, the sudden light made him squint his eyes uncomfortably.

"you're awake?"

Su Hui's voice came from the kitchen, but was covered by the tinkle and clang.

Ning Yixiao walked over, and the first thing he saw was the messy kitchen countertop and Su Hui's slightly embarrassed face, and he was a little dazed.

"Are you cooking?" Ning Yixiao stared at his fried eggs and asked dully.

"Ah...that's it." Su Hui was a little embarrassed, and picked up two small porcelain plates on the table, "I made some food, you have slept for a long time, you must be hungry."

He found that there was no dining table outside, so he had no choice but to bring it into Ning Yixiao's room.

His so-called "food" was actually only a fried egg, two slices of bread, and a carton of milk.

"Where did these come from?" Ning Yixiao didn't buy food.

"I bought it from Wang Cong. I was thinking about going downstairs to the supermarket to buy it, but I searched the nearby supermarket and it's a bit far away..."

Ning Yixiao listened, and found that his life experience was really not rich. He didn't know that there were eggs in the canteen in this kind of place, and the supermarket was not a necessary place.

As Su Hui said, he handed the disposable tableware to him, "Wang Cong is really nice, he said he didn't want my money, let me use whatever is in the refrigerator, and gave me two new pairs of disposable chopsticks, saying yes He ordered takeaway and didn't finish it. But I still gave him the change."

Ning Yixiao frowned, he thought for a while before he remembered that Wang Cong was the roommate next door, but Su Hui took one bite at a time, as if he had a deep impression on him.

Maybe it was because he was too unconfident in his cooking skills, but Su Hui misunderstood his frown, "Is it too bad? Why don't you just eat this toast, drink some milk, and stop eating eggs .”

Ning Yixiao picked up the fried egg with chopsticks very rebelliously, and ate it in two or three bites.

"It's okay, I like to eat charred ones."

He said this in a low voice, but Su Hui still heard it and smiled, drinking milk like a child.

"Why don't you have any eggs?" Ning Yixiao looked at Su Hui.

"I don't like eggs." Su Hui said, "I only like steamed eggs. I don't like fried or boiled eggs."

"You don't drink milk?" Ning Yixiao asked.

"Milk..." Su Hui put his face in his hands, "I take medicine, but the doctor advised me to drink less."

"Then what do you have for breakfast?"

"Hmm... so many choices." Su Hui thought for a while, "I like to eat yellow croaker noodles, spinach noodles, fried buns and small wontons."

"Young master." Ning Yixiao joked in a low voice.

Su Hui immediately retorted: "I am not."

Ning Yixiao imitated his tone, imitating his tongue very childishly, "I am not."

He ate very fast, unlike Su Hui who took a few mouthfuls and finished it in a few mouthfuls. He put away his chopsticks and got up to help him tidy up the kitchen that seemed to have experienced a world war.

While washing the dishes, Su Hui tried to intervene several times, but Ning Yixiao calmly stopped her.

When it was almost over, Ning Yixiao asked, "You should have a nanny at home, right?"

Su Hui felt that his choice of words was inaccurate, "There are aunts who cook, because my mother is not good at these either."

Ning Yixiao smiled, "That's very convenient, and you don't seem to be very good at it."

When he looked back, he saw the expensive shirt on the young master's body wrinkled in sleep, and suddenly thought of the scene where Su Hui was at home and the servant was ironing the clothes for him.

"What about you?" Su Hui didn't mind being told that he wasn't good at cooking, "Can you cook?"

Ning Yixiao hummed.

This is an essential skill for him to survive.

"It's okay, it's edible anyway." He didn't continue the topic, and asked Su Hui instead, "Did you sleep well?"

"It's okay." Su Hui lied naturally, "I thought I would suffer from insomnia, but I fell asleep soon, much faster than at home."

He is still a young master who likes to suffer.

Ning Yixiao kept a smile on his face, didn't continue talking, wiped the water on his hands, and said that he would send him home.

Su Hui immediately refused, "I won't go back."

Ning Yixiao had expected him to say this, but he still insisted on persuading, "You haven't returned all night, and your family members will worry about your personal safety."

It's not that Su Hui didn't know that he didn't come home more than once all night. When he got sick, he didn't even know what he did or where he went. When he woke up, he found himself standing in a completely strange place. Regret poured into his mind like a lake. Back home, the first question they ask is always the same.

"Compared to worrying, they are more afraid that I will embarrass them." Su Hui said.

Are you ill? Did you do anything embarrassing?Was it photographed?Where did you go, was it captured by surveillance?These are the eternal questions every time I go home.

"They care about you, your family loves you." Ning Yixiao said in a low voice.

Su Hui was just silent and didn't even shake his head.

Facing his silence, Ning Yixiao felt depressed, looked at him, "Many people like you."

Su Hui smiled.

He has a seemingly innocent and deceitful skin, but he is actually very clear-headed, "Although it is a bit too arrogant to say this, most of them only like my face."

Under the dim light, Su Hui's face was indeed beautiful, lazy and pure, calm and quiet, no need for explanation, and also possessed a kind of melancholy that made people daydream.

He looks like he should be hanging out with some high-society young girls, going to fancy freshmen balls in formal clothes, with countless female companions waiting for his invitations, instead of sitting in a rented house where he can't even stretch his legs, using cheap Disposable tableware that can be thrown away after use, and said with a smile that no one likes it.

"Go out and walk around."

Hearing Ning Yixiao's words, Su Hui agreed with a smile, and offered to treat him to something else, the fried eggs were too unpalatable.

Ning Yixiao knew that he wouldn't have a lot of money with him, and when he saw the beef noodles and braised eggs sold in a small fast food restaurant by the side of the road, he said that noodles would be good.

As long as he had a bowl of plain noodles, he looked for a seat. There was a layer of oily film on the table, which was sticky. He took out a piece of paper and dipped it in the tea, and wiped and wiped the seat where Su Hui was going to sit. He thought, white shirt Expensive and hard to wash when soiled.

Su Hui came back, he seemed to be in a good mood, he followed suit and ordered a bowl of plain noodles, plus a plate of cold spinach to share with Ning Yixiao.Ning Yixiao agreed, but didn't eat much.

He already knew how to deal with Su Hui, as long as he agreed first, he would not force him to do anything later, which was much easier.

Su Hui was a picky eater and didn't even touch a single peanut in the spinach salad. He picked the garlic and parsley carefully and only ate the leaves.He talked a lot more than in Ning Yixiao's bedroom. He kept talking, and the rhythm became faster than before. One of the questions was repeated repeatedly, asking Ning Yixiao if he wanted to go to a place with him.

But he didn't mention the specific location, Ning Yixiao couldn't understand, and the default was to ask him to send him home, and he had planned to do so, so he agreed.

After eating a bowl of noodles, Su Hui's snow-white forehead was soaked with sweat, and his cheeks and lips were red. When he went out, he met a young boy who was handing out an advertisement for an optical shop. The other handed him a small fan with an advertisement printed on it. Accepting it readily, he shook his wrist and fanned himself.

When Ning Yixiao asked him how to get there, Su Hui said without hesitation to take the bus, but he didn't seem to be familiar with this means of transportation. He searched for the route on the map of his mobile phone for a long time, and waited and boarded the bus with great difficulty.

They changed trains three times along the way, only the last one barely had two seats, but they were far apart.After Ning Yixiao sat down, she subconsciously looked towards Su Hui, and found that he was stretching his neck and looking around, also looking for him.

The moment his eyes caught him in the gap between the crowd, Su Hui happily shook the small fan in his hand.

In this way, Ning Yixiao was taken to a remote place by him.

It doesn't look like an area full of mansions, nor does it look like a military compound hidden in the city, but more like a factory that has not been used for a long time.

Su Hui led him on the cobbled road. Unlike before, he looked very happy, and even reached out his hand several times, as if trying to pull Ning's wrist overnight, but retracted it again until they came to a place. A factory front with red paint on the walls.

"Don't tell me this is your house." Ning Yixiao put his hands down, looking at him.

"Almost." Su Hui stepped forward to unlock the door, then turned around with a smile.

"This is the place most like my home, my secret base."
