love of life

Gu Ming changed his clothes and sat at the dining table waiting for dinner. The mobile phone was still on the dining table.After finishing the dishes, Zexi reached out and put the phone on the corner of the table he made, ready to eat.

Gu Ming picked up the bowl, put a piece of green pepper in the bowl, and said calmly, "Just now your phone was on, and someone sent you a text message."

Zexi withdrew his right hand that had been stretched out to pick up the vegetables, put the chopsticks between the index finger of his left hand and the bottom of the bowl, stretched out his right hand and moved the phone in front of him, didn't open it and didn't say anything, just replied: "Oh .”

Gu Ming kept staring at him with an unnatural expression, and asked, "Don't you want to see who sent the message?"

Zexi glanced at the phone, "There should be no one, maybe China Mobile." After finishing speaking, he continued to lower his head to pick up food, not daring to look up at Gu Ming.

This guilty look made Gu Ming, who was already angry, even more angry.He put the bowls and chopsticks heavily on the table, raised his head and said to him: "Why are you guilty? I have never restricted your freedom to make friends. Who do you want to chat with? Why don't you dare to be open? Or is there something in your heart? ghost?"

Zexi immediately understood that Gu Ming must have read his text message, he put down his chopsticks, and quickly explained: "No, no. I didn't have time to hand over the recipe to Xu Zhe that day, so I took a picture of the recipe and sent him a message. MMS. From that day on, he has been texting and chatting with me from time to time, and I said that I am usually busy and rarely reply to him.”

"Busy? Are you complaining to him about the heavy workload? He has already mentioned to you that he wants to poach you away?" Gu Ming said with a dark face.

"No, that's just my excuse. I'm very happy working here, and I won't leave." Ze Xi hurriedly explained, but at this time the phone screen on the dinner table turned on again, and Xu Zhe's call came in.

Zexi stared at the phone screen for a few seconds without moving, and Gu Ming said coldly: "Pick it up, why don't you answer it? Or is there something that I can't hear?"

"No..." Zexi hesitated for a moment, but the other party was very persistent and never hung up the phone.Under Gu Ming's gaze like a knife, he finally connected the phone.At this time, the room was silent, and Gu Ming could hear the voice from the earpiece clearly.

"Hey, Zexi, why did it take you so long to answer the phone?" Xu Zhe's familiar voice came from the receiver, and his cynical smile could be imagined through the phone.

"I'm still eating, so I'll hang up if I have nothing to do."

"Hey, don't worry, are you eating? Gu Ming is next to you, right? Did you read the link I sent last night? The chef will be here next weekend, and I happen to have a ticket in my hand, let's go and have a look together. I think you are really talented in cooking."

"That... I won't go, I have something to do, first..."

"Hey, Zexi, don't hang up, I still have something to tell you. Yesterday I asked my chef to make it according to the recipe you gave, but the taste is still not right. If you have time, you can come to my house to cook him. Demonstration?"

"This...isn't very convenient."

"What's the matter? By the way, I haven't invited you to dinner yet. You should take a day off and come here. Gu Ming will never give you a vacation..." Xu Zhe said non-stop on the phone , Zexi wanted to hang up the phone several times but didn't hang up. He felt that Gu Ming's face was getting uglier.

Lin Zexi wanted to hang up the phone directly, when Gu Ming stretched out his right hand to him, "Give me the phone."

Gu Ming picked up the phone and asked sharply. "Xu Zhe, what do you mean?"

"Yo, Gu Ming. I thought you wouldn't show up." The person on the other end of the phone was not angry at all, but said with a playful smile.

"What do you want to do?"

"It's nothing, just chatting with a friend, and by the way, asking him if he has enjoyed the normal benefits of employees."

"You don't need to take care of his affairs."

Xu Zhe said: "It's been said that we are friends, so of course we should care about each other. Or do you want to interfere with the housekeeping staff's making friends? I'm afraid this is not appropriate."

Gu Ming asked back: "You said you are friends? Isn't this also your wishful thinking?"

Xu Zhe said lightly: "Really? We had a good text message conversation a few nights ago. Have you ever texted him?"

"..." Xu Zhe's words made Gu Ming bite his tongue, hung up the phone with a black face, and threw the phone to Lin Zexi.

Lin Zexi put the phone behind her and moved it out of Gu Ming's sight.

Gu Ming was always on fire in his heart. He glanced at the rice on the table and swept it with his hand. The bowl and chopsticks fell to the ground with a bang, and the surrounding temperature suddenly dropped several degrees.

Zexi shut his mouth, turned around and went to the balcony to pick up a broom and start cleaning.At this time, the mobile phone on the seat turned on again, and the anger in Gu Ming's heart finally broke out, and he said angrily, "When did your relationship with him become so good? So good that we made an appointment to go to a delicious meal together." Festival? Why didn’t you ask me for leave in advance? Who said I would not approve it? Did I restrict your freedom of life? Don’t make me as good as a landlord who exploited long-term workers? If you really want to go with him, I won’t Will stop."

Lin Zexi was frightened by the sight of Gu Ming in front of him. He hadn't seen him get angry for a while, and suddenly he became the difficult brat when they first met.Zexi put down the broom in his hand, took two steps forward and hurriedly explained: "No, I just heard about it just now, and I didn't intend to go. I've always been... Ouch!" Zexi only felt that his right toe pointed Suddenly there was a sharp pain, and the sharp edge of the broken porcelain on the floor just scratched his toes, and the warm blood flowed down the fingertips to the ground.

Gu Ming looked at the bleeding wound on his foot, his gloomy face became even uglier.Without saying a word, Gu Ming turned around and came out with the medicine box in his arms, just in time to see Zexi sweeping the debris into the dustpan with a broom in his hand.Gu Ming grabbed the broom and threw it aside, squatted down and put the medicine box on the ground, took out the gauze and began to bandage the wound.

Zexi looked down at him carefully bandaging the wound, feeling warm in his heart.It has been several years since no one has taken care of him like this, and now he is alone, living alone in this world... Thinking about it, tears ran across his face and dripped onto the floor.

Gu Ming suddenly felt that his arm was cold, and when he looked up, he saw his face was full of tears, he frowned and pursed his lips and asked, "Does it hurt?"

Zexi sobbed hard, and said, "No...it doesn't hurt, I'm sorry..."

Gu Ming frowned even closer, "Why do you apologize?"

"I... I didn't consider your feelings and made you angry. I really have no other ideas. I just want to take good care of you. I have a good time here. You...don't drive me away." Ze Xi sobbed.

Gu Ming's hands that were half bandaged suddenly stopped. Zexi's words were very humble, so humble that he felt uncomfortable. "I didn't intend to drive you away, but Xu Zhe has always been very interested in you. I thought you had other ideas."

"I don't have any thoughts, I will stay and take care of you until..." Zexi's voice became smaller and smaller, and she only opened her mouth slowly, but did not make any sound.

Gu Ming fixed the gauze with a piece of adhesive tape, raised his head and asked, "What did you say?"

Zexi shook his head and pulled out a slightly stiff smile. There were still tears on his eyelashes, but the joy on his face reached his eyes. "It's nothing, I said I am very happy at work, I don't have any ideas, just like now."

Gu Ming was struck by his tearful smile, and couldn't help laughing out.The atmosphere was repaired like this, as if nothing had happened before.

Zexi's foot injury is not healed, Gu Ming asked him to rest for a week, and he can order takeaway for meals.But Zexi still insisted on making some simple meals, but the cleaning of the room was temporarily put on hold.Ze Xi often walked through the living room with a limp, and Gu Ming's eyes followed this figure involuntarily. He spent more time in the living room, sitting on the sofa in the living room, watching TV and playing with his mobile phone when he had nothing to do. , his eyes glanced at Lin Zexi who was busy from time to time.

On the other side, Lin Zexi's movements became more and more stiff.He felt that Gu Ming's eyes often stayed on him recently.But every time he pretended to turn around inadvertently, the other party would look away, and once he started to work, the eyes kept lingering on him.This made him a little distressed, and he couldn't concentrate on doing things.Bang Dang - the moment a large bowl slipped from Ze Xi's hand and fell on the floor, the fragments scattered in all directions.Zexi stood there in a daze, seeing fragments all over the place.

Gu Ming walked to the door of the kitchen and asked, "What's the matter? Are you okay?"

"It's okay, I accidentally slipped my hand, just sweep it away." After speaking, Zexi was about to turn around and go to the balcony to get the broom, but Gu Ming grabbed her.

"Don't move, I'll sweep it. Be careful, I told you to order takeaway, you have to do it. The injury on your foot is not healed yet, so don't scratch it again."

Zexi stood aside and watched Gu Ming start to clean. This was the first time he saw him sweeping the floor. There was a slight sense of disobedience, but he also felt inexplicably warm.Gu Ming put the broom back on the balcony, and Zexi stood by the sink and started washing the dishes.

"Don't do it, let's talk about it tomorrow." Gu Ming pulled him aside.

"No, the weather is so hot, it will stink tomorrow, there are only two bowls left, and I'll finish washing them in 5 minutes." Zexi twisted and tried to break free from his restraint.

"I said don't do it, you go to rest quickly, and I'll do the rest." Gu Ming looked at him impatiently, seeing his surprised expression, he felt a little displeased, he said he wanted to wash the dishes and that's it Surprise him?

As soon as Gu Ming bent down and hugged him horizontally, he screamed, and subconsciously wrapped his hands around Gu Ming's neck.The familiarity of the whole person soaring into the air hit him, hitting his chest heavily, and his face turned pale.

Gu Ming carried him back to his room, put him on the bed and covered him with a quilt.His face was still hot, and his eyes were staring blankly ahead.He couldn't help smiling, is this person so easily scared?If you go to the playground, you probably won't even dare to sit on the Ferris wheel.
