middle of the road

When all the dishes were served, Cheng Yang asked Chi Yu if he wanted some wine?

"What wine?" Chi Yu thought that there was a bottle of old wine hidden somewhere in their cabinet, but Cheng Yang said beer.

"..." Chi Yu: "Did I cook a lot just now?"

"Well, there are two cans left."

"...Then let's get a can." Cheng Ying and Cheng Le went down a bottle with their drinks in their arms. It would be hypocritical for him to say that it was cold. Besides, when it comes to Chinese New Year, a table of dishes should have some drinks.

Cheng Yang opened it and handed it to him, and Chi Yu took it over, "Thank you."

"You're welcome."

Chi Yu glanced at him, "It's endless, isn't it?"

Cheng Yang imitated his tone, "If you want to talk, I will definitely return."

"C~" Chi Yu just opened his mouth, glanced at the two children at the dinner table from the corner of his eye, and made a sharp turn with his tongue, "Are so many dishes enough to eat?"

Cheng Yang couldn't help laughing, Chi Yu glared at him, and looked at Cheng Ying and Cheng Le with a smile.

"Enough, I can't eat that much." Cheng Le said with a serious face.

Cheng Ying held the bowl and nodded beside her, "My brother said not to waste it."

"It's okay, pick up what you like and eat more, and leave the rest to me and your brother." Chi Yu put a piece of braised pork in their bowls.

He could actually see that they liked beef more, but because the beef was stewed for too short a time and it wasn't bad enough, children couldn't digest it if they ate too much. Cheng Yang didn't allow them to eat it after they ate the last piece just now.

"You're quite attentive." Chi Yu said.

"Pay more attention when you see it. If you can't see it, let it go." Cheng Yang went to turn on the TV with chopsticks in his mouth. The Spring Festival Gala had already started. Chi Yu remembered that it was only six o'clock when he came, and it was eight o'clock before he knew it. Too much.

"How's your drinking capacity?" Chi Yu tapped his bottle lightly.

"Not very good." Cheng Yang took a sip, "This can is probably fine."

Chi Yu looked at him suspiciously, "Just like you kicking against the wall, it doesn't seem like it's going to work."

Cheng Yang: "..."

Cheng Yang: "Why do I look like a hooligan?"

Chi Yu clicked his tongue, "You can't be a hooligan."

Chi Yu: "It's true that the first impression is not easy to mess with."

Cheng Yang: "Then you still messed up."

Chi Yu laughed, "Didn't you beat me later? I still feel cold when I think of the water."

Cheng Yang didn't speak, looked at him for a while, wanted to say that you died from talking too much, then thought about adding a chicken leg to his bowl.

"Is that the end?" Chi Yu pushed forward.

Cheng Yang put the wine bottle in front of him, "Why don't you pour one now."

"Don't dare." Chi Yu said, "If I really want to splash it, who knows if someone will whip me with chopsticks like just now."

"..." Cheng Yang was almost defeated by him, "Then let's turn the page, I won't beat you if you owe me a few words in the future."

Chi Yu held back for a while, seeing Cheng Ying and Cheng Le sitting on the side and looking at them, "I... go cook two more dishes!"

"We're full." Cheng Ying and Cheng Le said in unison.

Holding the wine bottle, Cheng Yang glanced at them, and then at Chi Yu, both of them laughed at the same time.

Chi Yu took the jar in his hand, weighed it, and put it aside, "It's almost there. Let's make room for those who are nutritious. There are still so many dishes."

"Go down and play after eating, put on your clothes, hat and gloves," Cheng Yang said.

Cheng Ying and Cheng Le got the pardon, and they slid down like loaches. Chi Yu looked back and saw that they were not only fully armed, but Cheng Ying also held a fairy wand in his hand.

She gave him two, and Chi Yu took them over and looked at them, "Okay, I'll go down and play with you later."

Cheng Yang lit an incense stick for Cheng Le, "Be careful when releasing it, don't get too close."

After the two of them went down, Cheng Yang sat across from Chi Yu, and served him and himself a bowl of yam pork rib soup. The soup was pure soup with nothing but chopped green onion.

Chi Yu watched him drink two bowls in a row, and he pushed his own bowl to him.

"Don't you want to drink?" Cheng Yang asked.

"I don't like to drink soup." He really doesn't like to drink, and he doesn't like to drink beverages very much at ordinary times. The most he usually has is plain water.

Cheng Yang took it, he didn't eat much for one meal, and drank three bowls of soup, Chi Yu thought he should stop ordering, this way of eating would make him hungry within an hour, and it wasted so much that the food was left over Not a lot.

Chi Yu was going to be thrown away, not to mention the loss of nutrients after the food was left overnight, and bacteria would also grow, but Cheng Yang didn't allow it, why waste it if I just made it at night and could still eat it tomorrow morning.

Chi Yu couldn't twist him, so he could only cover it with plastic wrap and put it in the refrigerator.

In fact, he thought about taking advantage of Cheng Yang's inattention to dispose of it secretly, and buying him more food in the refrigerator tomorrow, so that he should go and have everything he should have, but most of them will be scolded by him, Chi Yu is now I don't want to make him angry because of this little thing, he has learned a lot about Cheng Yang's temper during this time, and gradually found some patterns.

He said he was coming to wash the bowls, and Chi Yu helped put them in. After putting them all in the sink, he put on his scarf and went downstairs.

Downstairs there are children from five or six families and a few adults. The adults are standing around talking, while the children are all setting off fireworks. Seeing them screaming while running, and the lights that light up from time to time in the distance, there is a festive atmosphere.

Chi Yu stood by and watched for a while, then beckoned Cheng Ying and Cheng Le to come over.

"This." He took out two red envelopes from his pocket, "It's the New Year's money for you, take it well, and don't let your brother know."

Cheng Ying looked at Cheng Le, who lowered his head and refused to answer.

"what happened?"

"My brother said that you can't take other people's things casually." He said.

"That refers to normal times." Chi Yu smiled, "Today is different. Today is Chinese New Year, and children have to get lucky money during Chinese New Year."

Cheng Ying said, "But he will give it to us."

"His is his, mine is mine, who stipulates that you can only get one copy, ask other children, does anyone only get one copy." Chi Yu stuffed the red envelopes into the pockets of the two of them one by one. , "Be good, be obedient."

Cheng Ying and Cheng Le glanced at each other, some didn't know what to do, Chi Yu told them to hide and hurry up to play, and when your big devil finished washing the dishes later, he was going to call you to go to sleep.

The two left hesitantly.

Chi Yu took two steps back, and sat down on the flower bed in the open space in front of the building, rubbing the two unlighted fairy sticks in his hands. When it was cold, he pulled the scarf up to cover half of his face, leaving only a pair of Eyes, in the flickering light, looked at Cheng Ying's two pigtails that were thrown behind her head when she ran.

Fu Jin said he wanted to buy her a bouquet, but he really wanted to buy it too, but he came in a hurry today, so he didn't have time to choose a few.

He didn't dare to pack more money for the New Year's Eve, because he was sure that as long as he gave more than 1000 yuan, if Cheng Yang found out, he would definitely have to pay it back, so he cut it in half and only packed five hundred ones. I was also worried that he would not accept it, so I told them not to talk about it.

There's nothing wrong with kids hiding some private money.

Cheng Le didn't know when he ran back again, sat down next to him, held incense in his hand, and drew circles in the air.

"What's wrong?" Chi Yu asked.

He stopped and looked at him seriously, "Are you my brother's friend?"

Chi Yu was stunned, "Why do you ask such a question?"

Although he didn't have a clear purpose like Fu Jin did, but with the current relationship between him and Cheng Yang, it should be the default.

Of course, he still doesn't know what a child's definition of a friend is?

"No one has come to our house before." Cheng Le whispered.

"Oh." It's this one.

Chi Yu pinched his face, "Of course we are friends, otherwise why would I come to your house for the New Year?"

It should... not be his wishful thinking. If Cheng Yang dares to say no, Chi Yu feels that it is necessary to ask him for a title now.

Hearing what he said, Cheng Le let go of his two little eyebrows that were a little awkward just now. He nodded, jumped down and ran away.

Chi Yu felt that the way he lowered his head and said nothing, he was just like a copy of Cheng Yang.

He took out a cigarette and lit it. He had just taken two puffs when he heard footsteps behind him. He extinguished the cigarette in the flower bed, "Did you finish washing?"

"Well, let's call them up, it's too cold outside." Cheng Yang said.

Chi Yu took off the scarf and threw it to him, and handed him a fairy wand, "Let's go after you put it away."

"no need."

"You don't even need to set off fireworks, what on earth do you use?" Chi Yu stuffed his hand, took out the lighter, and lit it without any explanation.

Cheng Yang could only continue helplessly, watching the sparks burst out from his head, and then exploded into large pieces one after another.

Chi Yu took it in his hand and drew a few big circles to make Cheng Yang move too. Cheng Yang's hands shook twice, and he was done.

Chi Yu: "..."

Chi Yu grabbed his arm, and when he wasn't paying attention, he pulled it hard and followed the trajectory of his right hand and swung it around. When they touched each other, sparks came out, which was quite effective.

Cheng Yang: "..."

Chi Yu: "Hahahaha."

Seeing that it was quite a long one, Cheng Yang threw the burnt pole into his hand within ten seconds after putting it down, "Is it alright?"

"okay."

"Then go up."

"Fuck." Chi Yu was speechless, "Can you be a little bit more energetic, today is Chinese New Year, so I won't ask you to accompany me to put a big one."

"You can't let it go, it was banned a few years ago."

"..."

Cheng Yang called Cheng Ying and Cheng Le to go upstairs, they answered twice, and then saw two little figures running over.

"Hey." At the top of the stairs, Chi Yu walked up and down with him, and stopped him, "I still have more of my underwear from last time?"

"Nothing."

Chi Yu coughed, "...Oh."

He was wondering if he still had something upstairs, and if he didn't go up there, he just walked.

"I have new ones." Cheng Yang said, "You still have a few boxes with me, let's take them back together tomorrow."

"What box?" Chi Yu asked.

"Last time, you should have brought it here."

Chi Yu remembered that it was the time when he was sick, "Let it go to you first, I don't usually need it."

After taking a bath in the evening, Cheng Yang went to the two children's room to stay for a while, then came back and asked Chi Yu, "Did you give them money?"

"Why?" Chi Yu looked at him warily, "You don't mean to return it to me, do you?"

Cheng Yang sat under the quilt, waited for a while and turned off the light, "Thank you."

Chi Yu slid in, "Thank you, but it's not for you."

In fact, it was not twelve o'clock yet, and the mobile phone was flooded with blessing text messages like a waterfall in Lushan. He turned off the ringtone and vibration, picked up a few back, and chatted with Fu Jin for a while, of course nothing happened. Talk about his current stay at Cheng Yang's house.

When it was over, he turned his head, and Cheng Yang had already fallen asleep with his back to him. There was still the sound of fireworks coming from somewhere in the distance, and red or green colors were constantly reflected on the curtains that were not so light-blocking. , Just like that, I can still fall asleep without saying a word.

Cheng Yang didn't bother to find him a quilt today. Last time he got up, there were more than one quilt on the ground, but this time he just covered him with one.

Chi Yu turned around slightly, and looked at him from behind again. The same person, the same angle, but the feeling was a little different from last time. What was the difference, Chi Yu couldn't tell.

Maybe it's because Cheng Yang cut his hair, the stubble on his neck is shorter, and more skin is exposed, which has a different visual impact on him, or maybe it's because his body is warm today, not like last time He couldn't feel the temperature after lying down for a long time, and the warmth of his body's faint breath under the quilt spread towards him from time to time, making him feel drowsy.

However, he could clearly hear the sound of fireworks rising outside every time, and he gradually changed from calm to intense, and finally, like the heartbeat resounding in his ears, the fuze was ignited in his mind.

His fingers wandered presumptuously and nostalgicly on Cheng Yang's skin, and every delicate touch caused him to struggle fiercely in his heart, but he still couldn't resist that desire, as if he knew it was a drink and drank it. Go down and pass through the intestines, but still can't help the itchy throat.

The chaotic thoughts were burning hot, and as his hands covered Cheng Yang's neck, the temperature was a little hot, and it finally made his body feel like a scorching fire had been lit.

Chi Yu lifted the quilt and got out of bed, walked to the bathroom without slippers on.

Under the hot water, he leaned on the wall with one hand, and held it firmly with the other...

He clearly realized where the changes in front of him came from.

He has a desire for Cheng Yang.

I have felt this way more than once, but this time the reaction is more straightforward.

He used to say that Cheng Yang owed a fuck, but now it seems that he is not just talking, he really wants to fuck him.

He can't help but want to get close to him, not without purpose, but his purpose, which is stronger and naked than Fu Jin's.
