Overspill

By the time Yu Ci and Qiao Hexing rushed into the apartment building, they were already soaked through.

When it was only a dozen meters away from the apartment, the moderate rain suddenly turned into a heavy rain. It was better for Yu Ci to be wrapped in a suit by Qiao Hexing, but Qiao Hexing's white shirt was completely soaked by the rain and stuck to his body.

Yu Ci swiped his card to enter the apartment. His house was on the top floor and he had to take the elevator.

But being trapped in the apartment just now, Yu Ci felt a bit psychologically disturbed when he wanted to go in now.

"Don't be afraid," Qiao Hexing noticed. There are more than [-] floors in this building, and it is really inconvenient to take the stairs.He hugged Yu Ci into his arms again, and touched his ears like coaxing a child, "It will arrive soon, don't look if you are afraid."

Yu Ci lay on Qiao Hexing's shoulder, his body was too stiff to move.

Qiao Hexing's arms were cold and damp, but with his hands on Qiao Hexing's body, he could feel the smooth muscles under Qiao Hexing's drenched clothes. Although he deliberately looked away just now, he still saw Qiao Hexing's well-proportioned body. abs.

The elevator is going up.

Yu Ci's heart also seemed to be suspended in mid-air.

He closed his eyes in Qiao Hexing's arms.

Until Qiao Hexing patted him on the shoulder and said, "Here we are."

Yu Ci opened his eyes.

He quickly got out of Qiao Hexing's arms, and looked for the key to open the door as if trying to hide it. Qiao Hexing didn't say anything, and silently followed Yu Ci into the apartment.

Yu Ci hasn't returned to the apartment for two months. Fortunately, the housekeeping aunt will come to clean the house regularly, so the house is still quite clean.

It's just that no one has lived in it for too long, the cold white lights are shining down, and everything is neatly placed, making it look a bit deserted.

Qiao Hexing glanced at the interior layout, and at first glance, this house is where Yu Ci lived for a long time. There is a hanging chair in the living room. Beside the hanging chair is a small bookshelf. In addition to books, there are snacks and game consoles in it.

"Do you usually live here?" Qiao Hexing asked, and he followed Yu Ci into the bedroom.

Yu Ci paused while rummaging through his pajamas, and replied vaguely, "Sometimes I live here."

He stuffed the pajamas he found to Qiao Hexing, "Senior, go take a shower quickly, don't catch a cold, there are clean towels on the shelf in the bathroom."

"What about you?" Qiao Hexing asked him.

Yu Ci pointed to the inside, "My bedroom also has a bathroom inside."

Qiao Hexing nodded, turned around and left without saying anything.

Twenty minutes later, Yu Ci came out of the bathroom covered in steam. While wiping his hair with a towel, he walked into the kitchen to see if there was anything to eat.

The housekeeping aunt was sent by Yu Zhai. In addition to helping with cleaning, the refrigerator will also change the food regularly, so when Yu Ci opened the refrigerator, it was full, not only drinks and milk, but also meat, milk, eggs and dried noodles. complete.

His eyes stopped suddenly when he passed the bag of dried noodles.

He glanced down at his phone.

23: 30.

Although he deliberately ignored it and pretended he didn't care, he still firmly remembered what day tomorrow was.

In half an hour, it will be Qiao Hexing's birthday.

His father Yu Shenyan said that he did not hold a birthday party for Qiao Hexing, and Qiao Hexing himself did not mention it, and no one in Yu's house seemed to think of it.Not to mention the Qiao family.

Only the pair of cufflinks specially customized by Yu Ci were carefully stored in the cabinet.

He originally planned to give this gift away pretending to be casual after returning home today, but he didn't expect that the plan could not keep up with the change, and he and Qiao Hexing were trapped in this apartment by accident.

The rain outside was getting heavier and heavier, and it was beating on the window coldly. It seemed that nothing could be heard except the sound of rain and wind.

This apartment is like an island in the city.

"What are you looking at?" Qiao Hexing's voice suddenly came from behind Yu Ci.

Yu Ci was startled, turned around and saw Qiao Hexing also coming out of the bathroom.Yu Ci's pajamas were too small for him, the top could barely be buttoned up a few buttons, and a long part of his legs was exposed outside the trousers.

Yu Ci once again felt the height difference between him and Qiao Hexing.

But Qiao Hexing came to him, saw the refrigerator full of things, and asked, "Are you hungry? Is there anything you want to eat? I'll make it for you."

Yu Ci looked at Qiao Hexing's side face, wondering if he remembered that today was his birthday?

"No need, senior, let me do it," Yu Ci gently pushed Qiao Hexing, and he lied clumsily, "I suddenly want to make something, by the way, senior, do you want noodles?"

Qiao Hexing gave him a strange look, and didn't argue with Yu Ci, "Eat."

Qiao Hexing was chased away by Yu Ci to the sofa in the living room. He turned on the TV casually, and there was a boring romantic drama playing in it.

He looked sideways at Yu Ci who was busy in the kitchen. The kitchen was open, and he could clearly see that Yu Ci was seriously preparing the ingredients.The light in the kitchen was bright yellow, and Yu Ci was illuminated by such light. Wearing plain white pajamas, he felt warm and moist.

Yu Ci didn't know that Qiao Hexing was looking at him. He carefully guarded the heat and put seasonings in the noodles. The shrimp and vegetables were fried just now, spread on the noodles, and finally fried round eggs one by one. Cover the face together.

He also has one, but it is simpler than Qiao Hexing's, and there is no fried egg.

When serving the noodles, Yu Ci glanced at the time again, it was 23:58.

He took the noodles from the tray and put them in front of Qiao Hexing with his hands.

Qiao Hexing was a little surprised at the difference between the two noodles. When he raised his head, he heard Yu Ci whisper.

"Senior, happy birthday."

Behind Yu Ci, there was a clock hanging above the TV, and the hands on it pointed to twelve o'clock.

Exactly.

It was as if this time had been engraved in Yu Ci's heart all the time, and he blurted out without even thinking about it.

The sound of the rain outside was still very noisy, the wind was whistling, and the sound of things being knocked down could even be heard.

But there was a strange, gentle silence inside.

Qiao Hexing was silent for a moment, he knew why Yu Ci had to meet at this time.

This is longevity noodles, for his birthday.

He looked at Yu Ci's gentle eyes, which were dark brown, and his shadow was clearly reflected in them.

He is in Yu Ci's eyes, but also in Yu Ci's heart.

He asked softly, "How do you know it's my birthday today?"

He knew that he was bad, and he clearly knew it in his heart, but he still wanted to force Yu Ci to hear what he had to say.

Yu Ci panicked for a moment, and found an excuse at a loss, "I heard from the butler that it's your birthday today."

As soon as the words came out, Yu Ci secretly bit his tongue, thinking that he would have to confess to the housekeeper tomorrow.

Qiao Hexing didn't expose his lie, he pressed Yu Ci by his side, "Let's eat together, or it will be cold."

He took a bite of the noodles made by Yu Ci, and also ate the fried eggs Yu Ci spread on the noodles. After swallowing, he said softly, "It's delicious."

Only then did Yu Ci feel relieved, and he also picked up his bowl of noodles, and said with a smile, "When I was young, my mother would make longevity noodles for me every birthday. It's actually ordinary noodles, but It always tastes better."

He looked at Qiao Hexing and added, "I'm talking about my biological mother."

He was adopted by Yu Chenyan at the age of eight. His father passed away when he was younger. When his mother left, his relatives didn't want him and sent him to the orphanage like a football. It was Yu Chenyan who came to the welfare home in person. The hospital took him out.

Yu Chenyan was only a young man in his twenties back then, but he held his hand and told him, from now on you will be my child, the young master of the Yu family.

At that time, Yu Chenyan was young, sharp, with a pretty face that didn't look like a person licking blood from a knife's edge, but Yu Ci was surprisingly dependent on him.

Thinking of Yu Chenyan, Yu Ci's heart sank again, and he kept a little distance from Qiao Hexing imperceptibly.

Qiao Hexing didn't notice his movements, he lowered his head and took another mouthful of noodles, and said, "No one made longevity noodles for me."

But there was a little smile on his face, as if recalling something, "My mother grew up abroad and could only cook terrible turkey. Asking her to cook Chinese dishes would be a disaster. "

This was the first time Qiao Hexing mentioned his mother.

Yu Ci actually knew one thing, that Qiao Hexing's mother and father only met after the death of the first wife of the Qiao family, and they didn't have any shady mistress status.But her background was opposed by Qiao's parents, who refused to allow her to marry her.It wasn't until Qiao Hexing was almost five years old that Father Qiao, who was officially in power, was able to marry her.

But not a few years after she entered the house, when she was pregnant with her second child, she stumbled and fell down the stairs, and died without timely rescue.

Qiao Hexing was less than ten years old that year.

Yu Ci didn't know what to say for a while, and he didn't know where to start to comfort him.

But Qiao Hexing didn't need his comfort either. He looked at Yu Ci and said seriously, "After my mother passed away, no one celebrated my birthday. I received many gifts at Qiao's house, but it wasn't a birthday. Thank you You, I am very happy."

When Qiao Hexing was speaking, he turned around slightly, his knee and Yu Ci lightly touched each other, and the soft cloth rubbed against each other.

Yu Ci felt that his bowl of noodles couldn't bear Qiao Hexing's gratitude at all, let alone this was not a gift he had prepared for Qiao Hexing.

He remembered the leather pendant he had hidden in his bag.

The custom-made luxurious cufflinks were left at Yu's house, but this simple little thing followed him all the time.

And this is actually the gift he really hopes to give Qiao Hexing.

He made it himself, polished bit by bit, hiding his indescribable intentions.

"Senior..." Yu Ci suddenly called Qiao Hexing softly, hesitating and hoarse.
