Chapter 27 Wow! Quite unique
In the darkness of night, the two got out of the car at a dilapidated, old-fashioned building.
Due to the serious disrepair, there was not even a light in the corridor, so Su Yumian had to use his mobile phone to illuminate the room.
"Be careful, it's a little dark."
Fortunately, the floor I live on is not high, so it is easy to climb to the third floor.
"arrive."
Su Yumian took out the key and opened the door, pressing the switch beside the door. Only then could Zhou Xubai see the layout of the house clearly.
The decoration is far from luxurious. It is like the style of the 1980s and 1990s, simple but plain, old but clean.
Seeing Zhou Xubai looking around as soon as he entered the door, Su Yumian said awkwardly, "My house is not as good as an apartment, please don't despise me."
"No, where is the bathroom?" Zhou Xubai asked.
"Over there, that little glass door."
"Oh, I see."
Zhou Xubai got up and walked towards the bathroom. When he came out, he saw Su Yumian coming out of the bedroom holding a quilt.
He was stunned and asked, "You are..."
"Oh, there are only two rooms in my house. You can sleep in my room and I'll sleep in my parents' room. I'll get you an extra quilt. The countryside is different from the city, and it's cold at night."
"Can't we just sleep together?" The words rolled around in Zhou Xubai's throat, but he never said them out loud.
He knew that he couldn't push too hard now.
According to Su Yumian's personality, if he is pushed too hard, he will run away quickly like a frightened rabbit.
"Oh, then I'll go to bed first." Zhou Xubai walked into the bedroom, turned off the lights and lay down.
Su Yumian also lay back on the bed but couldn't fall asleep for a long time. He took out his mobile phone, opened the dialog box with Fu Quezhou, and tapped the screen repeatedly with his fingers.
"Um, are you asleep?"
This statement was too blunt, and I felt it wasn't enough to lead to the next question, so I had to delete it and type it again.
"Um, Quezhou, why can't I use the card you gave me..."
It didn't seem right to ask this question, so I deleted it.
After calling and deleting the call several times, he finally turned off his phone in frustration and threw it aside.
Finally, the dialog box is empty.
I fell into a deep sleep only when the sky was slightly bright.
Near noon, Su Yumian was awakened by the smell of food. He sniffed, yawned, and walked to the kitchen. He leaned against the door and said in a daze, "It smells so good."
"Are you awake?" Zhou Xubai took the time to look back at him and urged, "Go wash up quickly. I made some chicken soup and will take it to Auntie later."
Su Yumian was startled, half asleep, and came to Zhou Xubai, staring at the shiny chicken soup in the casserole, and asked, "Can you also stew?"
"That's right. I learned it from my grandma when I was little." Zhou Xubai scooped up some chicken soup with a spoon, blew it cool, and brought it to Su Yumian's lips. "Please give it a taste and see how it tastes. Be careful with the heat."
Su Yumian took advantage of the situation and grabbed Zhou Xubai's hand holding the spoon. He took a sip from his hand and immediately said, "It's delicious. If you are such a good cook, why do you order takeout every day?"
Zhou Xubai stared at the warmth of Su Yumian's fingertips on the back of his hand. The satisfaction in his heart at this moment greatly filled the depression of yesterday, but he still wanted more, he wanted to be more greedy.
"If you like, I'll do it for you every day from now on."
"That's great..." Su Yumian replied without thinking too much. But as soon as he said it, he realized what was going on and quickly turned his head away. "Forget it, if I drink chicken soup every day, I'll be fat as a ball. I'll go wash up first."
Zhou Xubai stared at Su Yumian's back, feeling bitter inside. The hope that had just ignited was ruthlessly crushed by him in an instant.
…
In the hospital ward, Su's father was feeding Su's mother chicken soup. When she learned that the chicken soup was made from a live chicken that Zhou Xubai bought from the market early in the morning, Su's mother felt grateful and started gesturing and making "Aba Aba" sounds.
Zhou Xubai was stunned. He didn't expect that Su Yumian's mother was a mute.
"What does this mean, Auntie?"
"My mother said thank you and that she felt a little embarrassed for bothering you so much." Su Yumian explained as a translator.
Zhou Xubai finally understood and quickly said, "You're welcome, Auntie. Yu Mian and I are best friends. This is what I should do."
Su's mother couldn't hear the sound and could only turn her gaze to her son beside her.
Su Yumian quickly explained to his mother using sign language. When his mother learned that the two were good friends, she smiled with relief.
Tears started to flow from her eyes as she laughed, and she used sign language while crying, "My Mianmian finally has a friend."
Zhou Xubai was stunned. She was fine just now, but why did she suddenly cry? He couldn't help but panic, but he couldn't understand sign language, and was afraid that something he said had made his aunt sad.
"Yu Mian, did I say something wrong?"
"No, my mother is happy." Then he quickly made a sign language for "best friend" to Su's mother.
Su Yumian and Zhou Xubai stayed in the hospital until five o'clock in the afternoon before leaving the hospital. They walked on the busy street.
Su Yumian said, "I'm sorry for dragging you here during the holidays."
Zhou Xubai chuckled, "What are you talking about? You're not treating me as a friend if you say that."
Su Yumian panicked and hurriedly explained, "That's not what I meant..."
"Su Yumian?"
An inopportune voice sounded beside the two of them.
Su Yumian turned around and saw that there were three more people around him.
Two of the girls were Su Yumian’s junior high school classmates and neighbors who grew up together. They moved here together because of the demolition of Qijia Village. He didn’t know the other boy.
"Lin Yue? Song Wan?"
"It's really you. I heard from your father that you went to Hezhou City. I thought you settled there and would not come back." Lin Yue, who has big wavy hair, teased.
"Oh, I came back for something..."
"This handsome guy looks unfamiliar. Is he your friend?" Song Wan interrupted him and noticed Zhou Xubai standing beside him.
"Well, his name is Zhou..."
"Handsome guy, do you mind being friends with me?" Song Wan interrupted Su Yumian again. She had been like this since she was a child, and Su Yumian was used to it.
"mind."
Zhou Xubai watched it clearly from the side. It was obvious that Song Wan did it on purpose, which made him feel inexplicably unhappy.
Song Wan was stunned for a moment, then suddenly grinned and said, "Wow! Quite unique, I like it even more. We are going to celebrate Lin Yue's birthday now, shall we have a drink together?"
When the boy next to them heard that they were going to invite two boys who were more handsome than themselves, he immediately urged them unhappily: "Are you going or not?"
"Why are you rushing me?" Song Wan yelled at the boy angrily. When she turned to face Zhou Xubai, her expression changed again. "So, are you going or not?"
"Not interested." Zhou Xubai refused bluntly.
Song Wan was anxious and quickly winked at Lin Yue, asking her to pull Su Yumian. She could see that this handsome guy was centered around Su Yumian, and as long as Su Yumian went, he would naturally follow.
Lin Yue was helpless, because Song Wan was her best friend.
She grabbed Su Yumian's arm and begged, "Yumian, we haven't seen each other for so long, can't you spend my birthday with me? We are from the same place after all, so let's go, it will be more lively with more people."
"I..." Su Yumian hesitated. He and Lin Yue grew up together and had a pretty good relationship.
But Fu Quezhou had warned him not to drink outside, especially with Zhou Xubai. What if he found out...
He was shocked. What was he thinking now?
Has he really been brainwashed by Fu Quezhou?
Seeing him hesitate, Lin Yue pulled him away forcefully, "What are you hesitating about? Let's go."
