Chapter 86 Watering Can
"Before, I was too childish. I shouldn't have stepped on you. I'm sorry."
Feeling a little uncomfortable under someone's gaze, Ji Changqing lowered his eyes and explained in a low voice, "You can rest assured that I won't actively hurt anyone who doesn't want to hurt me."
He Rui listened to the other party in silence, his eyes drifting towards 702.
I want to say that even the person who harmed this guy was not harmed by him.
The murderer is still alive and kicking.
He was distracted for a second, then continued, "Will you step on me again in the future?"
Ji Changqing hesitated, "...I shouldn't step on it."
"Why should I?! Why are you still asking questions?" He Rui couldn't hold back his expression. "Don't step on it even once, okay?"
“You can step back.”
"Ah???" What the hell is this stepping back?
His eyes drifted to the table of food in front of him, and He Rui looked at Ji Changqing opposite him who seemed embarrassed.
It was confirmed that this table of dishes was specially prepared by this guy to apologize to him.
Are you afraid of misunderstanding and want to repair the relationship?
It is obvious that in this era of disaster, if people are divided according to their strength, he does not have the capital to have an equal dialogue with this person.
He really didn't expect that Ji Changqing would apologize to him after doing something wrong.
Although this person had apologized before, he was quite quick to apologize.
He Rui suddenly felt that Ji Changqing was a pretty good person.
My opinion of this person has changed a lot.
There is no greater virtue than correcting one's mistakes as soon as one realizes them.
What I said before was that I just accidentally strangled his neck, and it seems that it was not intentional.
As for those childish acts of bullying, such as dismantling the bed, they are probably just carelessness.
"Aren't you saying you don't like me and hate me?" He Rui asked.
Ji Changqing coughed lightly, looking away and explaining, "I can't possibly keep someone I hate around me and be an eyesore. You can understand what I did before as a foolish act towards a friend."
friend?
He Rui's eyes widened a little, and this unexpected answer made him a little happy.
Thinking that he had mistakenly thought that this person was going to send him to heaven, he felt that this was a huge misunderstanding.
Of course, he felt that the reason why he had misunderstood to that extent was 100% due to the other party's attitude.
Ji Changqing raised his eyes and looked at He Rui.
Noticing the young man's eyes fixed on him, he looked away again, "Just stay as you are. Don't be afraid of me."
"......" After hearing this, He Rui didn't know how to respond.
For a moment, the atmosphere was a little quiet.
After a few minutes of awkwardness, He Rui saw the person opposite him stand up and want to leave.
He panicked for a moment, thinking that he had not yet replied to this person. If he let the other person go without saying anything, Ji Changqing might misunderstand and think that he was still angry.
He reached out and grabbed the person who was about to leave, "Brother Ji, come eat with us. You worked so hard to make this, and I can't finish all this. Let's eat together."
The man lowered his eyes and looked at him without saying a word. He Rui felt uneasy again under this gaze.
He withdrew his hand, said no more words to keep her, and buried his head in eating in silence.
After taking two bites, he saw out of the corner of his eye that the other person had sat back in the chair.
He Rui raised the corner of his mouth slightly and stood up, "I'll go to the kitchen to get you a pair of chopsticks."
"No need." The other party stopped him and flipped his hand, and a pair of chopsticks appeared in his palm.
He Rui sat back in a good mood, staring at the other person without blinking, waiting for him to eat quickly.
This time it was not because he suspected the other party of poisoning him, but because he simply wanted to see what this person looked like while eating.
After all, we have been together for so long, and this is the first time in the world that I can see this guy eating like a normal person.
He Rui felt inexplicably relieved.
But unexpectedly, the man's brows began to tighten again, as if he was unhappy about being looked at by him, "Eat by yourself, don't keep looking at me."
"Okay, okay!" He Rui agreed and ate quickly, but his eyes never left Ji Changqing. He ate with his peripheral vision while staring at the guy with interest, ready to witness the first meal this man had eaten in more than half a month.
Ji Changqing gritted his teeth, picked up a piece of potato and took a light bite.
He Rui looked at his brother Ji's leisurely eating manner and felt that this guy was eating in a very artificial way.
There was a small piece of potato the size of a glutinous rice ball, and I didn't put the whole thing into my mouth. I only took a small bite.
She chewed the food slowly and swallowed it warm, like the female celebrities on TV who pretend to eat.
For the first time, He Rui discovered what it felt like to watch someone eat slowly.
He suddenly understood why others were anxious when they saw him eating.
He looked anxious too.
It's not like he hasn't met friends who eat as slowly as he does before, but normally he has no interest in observing how others eat while they're eating.
But to be honest, the way Ji Changqing chews food is quite beautiful, and his appearance makes him very pleasing to the eye.
He Rui praised sincerely, "Brother Ji, you eat very well."
"puff."
As soon as he finished speaking, the other party reacted violently and spat out a mouthful of potato.
The smile on He Rui's face faded. He lowered his head and looked at the food on the table that was evenly stained with potato foam with a dull look. He put down his chopsticks and couldn't eat anymore.
"My spare ribs..." He Rui pouted, feeling very uncomfortable.
He regretted that he had stopped the guy and didn't let him go.
Who knew that this guy could be like a spray bottle, spraying a layer of mashed potatoes evenly on his table of delicious food.
It felt like I was just envious of him for a moment, but then I took the food back. Fortunately, he ate in a hurry and only managed to eat half full.
He Rui is also a reasonable person. After all, the other party cooked for him sincerely.
It was impossible for him to put down his bowl and scold the chef just because of a small accident.
But even though I understand the situation, it still feels very uncomfortable.
There is said to be famine in the future.
If the disaster does not end for a long time and he cannot leave this world, he may hardly have the chance to have a decent meal of hot soup and hot rice like this one.
After all, most of the food he bought was pre-prepared meals that could be eaten immediately after heating or opening the bag.
This table was obviously made with ingredients that had not yet spoiled in the refrigerator after the power outage.
It will be hard to have such fresh food again in the future.
He Rui was feeling depressed when he heard the other party click his tongue impatiently at him.
"If you hadn't talked nonsense, I wouldn't have..." The man spoke and fell silent under his vicissitudes and resentful gaze.
He Rui wanted to say that he was not talking nonsense...it was obvious that this person was overreacting. He was an honest man and he just said what he thought, and it was not enough to praise him.
And if he wanted to cough and spit out his food, why didn't he turn his head away from the table in advance? He had choked before, and he knew to turn his head and cover his mouth.
He couldn't bear it anymore and complained resentfully, "What a pitfall, Brother Ji, can you please avoid the table when you're complaining? The ribs were so delicious, and I only ate one piece. I also like beef and potatoes, and I haven't even had a sip of the soup..."
"Shut up! Idiot." Ji Changqing covered his face tiredly and sighed softly.
Hearing the other person screaming, he frowned and looked at the guy, "I'll make you ribs again, okay? Shut up and stop screaming." He wasn't afraid that everyone would know what he was screaming about.
Of course, even if no one shouted, there were already people eager to try and set their sights on this guy.
He Rui's eyes lit up and he stood up by pressing the table, "Really? Brother Ji, you are so nice, you really are my...my Brother Ji." He almost blurted out that he was his biological brother.
However, remembering that the word "brother" was the other party's sore spot, He Rui bit his tongue and forced himself to change his words halfway.
Ji Changqing snorted softly, and his cold brows relaxed slightly.
