After Qin Xiaoyu left, Xiao Zhi immediately felt at ease physically and mentally, and he and He Zixing were the only two left in the store.

He also wanted to make the oily peppercorns, and asked He Zixing to go upstairs and go online for a while.He Zixing shook his head, wanting to stay and help.

Xiao Zhi weighed out one kilogram of dried chili, and then sat on the bench and began to cut the chili.

He Zixing squatted down opposite him, "Brother Jiu, do you still have scissors? Let me get them for you."

Xiao Zhi didn't raise his head, "Don't, don't touch this pepper, it's very difficult to wash off your hands, if you don't wash your hands and then touch your body—" Xiao Zhi remembered what he experienced on the first day here With a sour taste, I let out a "hey" with lingering fear, "Anyway, don't touch it."

He Zixing looked at him silently without making a sound.

After Xiao Zhi finished cutting the peppers, he took a stone mortar and smashed the peppers into finer pieces.

He saw that He Zixing had something to say to him, and the atmosphere was too dull at the moment, so he murmured: "This oily and spicy pepper must be ground and poured fresh, and it can't be smashed too much, otherwise the fragrance will be gone." They all ran away. In fact, it should settle for 24 hours after pouring hot oil, and the color is the best, but the kitchen in the morning belongs to your sister, so I had to be forced to do it at night."

He glanced at He Zixing, who only slightly raised the corner of his mouth.

Xiao Zhi stopped what he was doing, "Zixing, do you have something on your mind?"

He Zixing lowered his eyes, and said in a low voice: "Brother Jiu, don't you think it's strange that I'm like that today?"

Xiao Zhi's chest felt tight, and he pretended to be indifferent: "It's a little bit, but it's nothing to worry about. Who doesn't have any taboos?"

He Zixing raised his eyes and looked straight at Xiao Zhi, with a fragile light shining in his crystal eyes, "No, I'm not taboo, I'm fear. I wasn't that timid at first, but since the car accident, I'm like I have become a different person, and I can no longer have normal contact with others. Although I can’t remember those dreams after waking up, they seem to sink in my heart, affecting my every move and making me not like me.”

Xiao Zhi met He Zixing's trusting and confused eyes, and suddenly realized that He Zixing was asking him for help.He forgot everything, but left behind a shadow, how strange this world should be to him.

Xiao Zhi put down the scissors and stood up, staring at He Zixing's upturned face, and said softly, "Come on, stand up."

He Zixing stood up obediently, Xiao Zhi stepped forward and gently hugged him into his arms.As soon as he touched the pepper, he didn't dare to touch He Zixing, so he opened his hands and wrapped his arms gently around him, which made the hug a little more cherished.

"Don't be afraid, you will always be you. If those dreams will affect you, accept it if you can accept it, and ignore it if you can't accept it. It doesn't matter. What dreams, past lives, are all things in the past, all in the past .”

He Zixing was hugged by him again, a bit unnatural, but Xiao Zhi's hard and warm body reassured him, making him reluctant to run away.He Zixing leaned his head on his shoulder carefully, and asked softly, "Brother Jiu, why aren't you affected by those dreams?"

Xiao Zhi lowered his head slightly, secretly kissing his hair, "How do you know I'm not affected?"

He Zixing looked up at him in surprise.

Xiao Zhi smiled slightly, "I will also be affected. I used to go to the vegetable market to buy vegetables and was short of money and I didn't dare to argue. Later, I dreamed that I was a general, the kind who went to the battlefield. Think, I dare to kill people, why don't I dare to quarrel with a cheating old lady?"

He Zixing was amused by his exaggerated tone, and he wriggled out of his arms lightly, and looked at him gratefully: "Thank you, Brother Jiu, I know you are trying to make me happy on purpose."

Xiao Zhi looked at him softly, "Zixing, I'm very happy that you trust me. If you have difficulties in the future, I also hope that the first person you think of is me, and I will always be by your side. "

He Zixing opened his eyes slightly, "Brother Jiu?"

Xiao Zhi looked at him persistently, "Promise me."

He Zixing looked at him for a long time, then nodded slowly.

Xiao Zhi was worried about taking a bath after finishing cooking.He could just use cold water himself, but he couldn't bear He Zixing to suffer with him.

He Zixing suggested to go to his own house to wash. Anyway, the house has not been returned, and it is a waste to be empty.

Xiao Zhi thought for a while, "Your home is still a little far away, and there is a gym at the intersection. I borrowed someone else's annual card to go there once before. The bathrooms there are in good condition, and there are cubicles. We can go Laundry there. His family’s annual card is also quite cheap, just over 500 yuan.”

He Zixing didn't quite agree, "Five hundred is money, brother Jiu can't be wasted because of me spending too much."

Xiao Zhi gave a "tsk", "Just now he said he would trust me, but now he is not obedient."

He Zixing choked, "These are two different things."

Xiao Zhi smiled, "Okay, don't worry about it, Brother Jiu, I have money."

He Zixing looked at him helplessly: "Brother Jiu earns hard-earned money, let alone spend it recklessly."

Xiao Zhi asked him to follow him upstairs, and the two of them sat on the bed and turned on the computer. Xiao Zhi showed him his foreign exchange account number.More than a dozen orders made a profit in green, and the least profitable order also earned more than 200 US dollars.

He Zixing was very surprised, "Brother Jiu, is this... speculating in foreign exchange?"

Xiao Zhi looked at him complacently, and casually drew out a list of approaching spots, and pointed to him with the mouse, "Look, I just got three hundred dollars, and the money for both of our fitness cards came out."

He Zixing was amused by his peacock appearance, "That's fine. However, I should buy my card myself."

Xiao Zhi rubbed his hair again, "Say it again?"

He Zixing dodged his claws with a smile, "I can't keep you spending money."

Xiao Zhi tentatively pressed his hand lightly on the back of his neck, but He Zixing struggled as if he was ticklish, and looked back at him with a smile: "Itch!"

Xiao Zhi laughed so hard that his teeth were bared, and he squeezed the back of He Zixing's neck firmly with his hands, and made a gesture to scratch his waist with the other hand: "If you are stubborn with me again, I won't be polite." It's gone." He was so emotional that his breath was hot, and he sprayed all of it onto the bare/exposed skin around He Zixing's neck.

He Zixing seemed really ticklish, he laughed and struggled vigorously, Xiao Zhi let go of him after arguing with him for a while, He Zixing fell directly on the bed, his chest heaved, panting heavily, as if complaining He said, "Brother Jiu, you are too domineering."

Xiao Zhi knelt on the bed on one knee, looked down at him with his hands propped up, his voice was full of enthusiasm: "You call me Brother Jiu, so you have to listen to me."

He Zixing turned to look at him, his bright and beautiful eyes were full of smiles, but when he met his gaze, he was gradually replaced by another feeling of bewilderment.

Xiao Zhi looked at him from above, his heart was beating wildly, and he almost couldn't help but kiss him, but he still managed to calm down at the last moment, and before the atmosphere became more ambiguous and sticky... he said: "I am a man. , no friends, no family, until I met you, I didn't think there was someone I could... trust and get close to, it was really nice."

He Zixing blinked, "Is it because of those dreams?"

"It's not all... It's more because of you, which makes me feel hit and miss."

He Zixing looked back into his dark eyes deeply, and slowly broke into a smile: "Brother Jiu, you may not believe it, but I often feel that I have known you for a long time."

Xiao Zhi also laughed, "I believe it!" He stood up straight, and stretched out a hand towards He Zixing, just like the kind of gestures that men often have.

He Zixing stopped thinking about it, put his hand in his hand, and Xiao Zhi pulled him up with all his strength, "Go, let's take a bath."

Xiao Zhi drove He Zixing in his old van, and the gym was about to close in half an hour. The two quickly got their cards, and then trotted to the bathroom.

At this time, there was no one in the locker room. He Zixing found a cabinet to put his mobile phone and wallet in, and then began to undress. The hem of the T-shirt was lifted up, revealing his thin and flexible waist.

Xiao Zhi's eyes chased his hand involuntarily, and stared at the white skin for a moment, then turned his back suddenly as if fleeing, took off his shirt and shorts, and said "I will Come in," and strode toward the bathroom.

He Zixing looked at his tall and strong back, hesitated for a moment, then took off his underwear, and quickly walked into the bathroom.

There was only one stall in the bathroom with the door shut and the sound of running water.He Zixing went to the next door to this room and called out, "Brother Jiu?"

The sound of water over there immediately stopped, and Xiao Zhi's low voice came: "En."

The two washed in silence for a while, and He Zixing knocked on the partition between them again, and the sound of water over there stopped immediately, "What's wrong?"

He Zixing asked with some embarrassment: "Brother Jiu, can you squeeze the shampoo for me?"

The next door was quiet for a while, and He Zixing thought his request was too weird, so he quickly explained: "It seems that the shampoo is almost used up, my thumb can't use it..."

"I am coming."

Xiao Zhi wrapped a towel around his waist and knocked on the door of He Zixing's cubicle. The door was opened about ten centimeters apart. Big eyes full of water vapor.

Xiao Zhi took the shampoo with downcast eyes, thanking He Zixing very much for his restraint when facing him.It's just an arm...

He Zixing stretched out his hand, palm facing up, Xiao Zhi squeezed shampoo for him, the viscous liquid writhed and piled into a puddle on He Zixing's white and tender palm.

"enough?"

The hand retracted, the door was also closed tightly, and He Zixing's voice came from behind the door: "Enough."

Xiao Zhi couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth, He Zixing felt shy.

Xiao Zhi directly took the shampoo bottle into his cubicle. He had already washed his hair, but for some reason, he squeezed some more and wiped it on his own hair. Yi's hair has a different smell.

He finished the shower quickly, then wrapped himself in a towel and went to the dressing room to get dressed. After he was dressed, he waited for a while before He Zixing came out.

When Xiao Zhi saw him, he couldn't tell whether he was glad or disappointed, but he was really relieved - He Zixing actually brought clean clothes in, and now he came out dressed.

He opened the cabinet door, took out his cell phone, glanced at it, and put it back with a relaxed expression.

Xiao Zhi saw his actions and thought to himself, the perverted text message has stopped these two days.

He Zixing packed up his things and was about to go out.His hair was a bit longer than Xiao Zhi's, and he had wiped it with a towel before it was completely dry. As soon as he turned around, Xiao Zhi pulled him back and handed him the hair dryer provided in the dressing room, "Blow it dry before going out."

He Zixing didn't answer, "It's okay, I've never blow-dried my hair before, so I won't catch a cold."

Xiao Zhi said "tsk", "Usually I'm at home, and I have to go out for a while, now it's autumn, the temperature is not high at night, and there is still wind, so I have to blow it dry."

He Zixing looked at him amusedly: "Brother Jiu, why didn't I realize you were so wordy before?"

Xiao Zhi smiled with the corner of his mouth crooked, stretched his long arms around He Zixing's waist and dragged him back, "How dare you laugh at me?"

He Zixing immediately became honest and remained motionless in his arms.Seeing that he was not moving around anymore, Xiao Zhi quickly let go of his hand, and turned on the hair dryer to dry his hair.

It was the first time for Xiao Zhi to do this kind of thing, but it seemed like he was born with it.Gently inserted his fingers from the root of He Zixing's hair, and the pads of his fingers touched the scalp that no third person had touched before, and then moved from the root to the tip of the hair, the soft and moist hair passed through his fingertips , the fresh light fragrance of shampoo floating in the nose.

After blowing their hair, the two walked out of the gym together. The night wind in late summer and early autumn blew on the skin that still had a bit of moisture, taking away the last trace of heat.

When I drove back, there were very few vehicles on the road, and the bustling street scene passed by the window, falling into the brightly lit night behind me.

Xiao Zhi turned on the radio, and the soft music suitable for the night was playing on the radio. The deep and beautiful sound of pure musical instruments lingered around the two of them, wrapping them in a private and warm little world without any gaps.

The two returned to the store and went to bed together. He Zixing said goodnight to Xiao Zhi just like yesterday, and fell asleep in seconds.

Xiao Zhi slowly moved over, and gently hugged He Zixing into his arms, his heart was filled with satisfaction.
