Lin Zhiyi: “…”
Could this be the same as their situation?
Lin Zhiyi didn't like owing people anything, so he changed his approach: "Then I'll treat you to a meal when I'm free."
"Can I eat anything?" Han Xu moved closer, and a fresh and pleasant smell surrounded him, like the first bite of a green apple in summer.
Lin Zhiyi felt something was wrong, but since the words had already been spoken, he could only nod.
"Then I want to eat the meal that senior cooks." Han Xu curled his lips and sighed, looking distressed. "I haven't eaten Chinese food in a long time, and I can't cook it myself. I heard that senior is a good cook. It shouldn't be a big deal if he cooks for me, right?"
“…”
Who is saying this out there?
But cooking is nothing.
only……
Lin Zhiyi hesitated a bit: "I'm renting with someone. Before you come in, I need to get the consent of the other two roommates."
The roommate who just left a few days ago was easy to talk to, but there was another one... who hadn't appeared for a long time and I didn't have a very good relationship with him.
"Isn't this easy?" Han Xu thought it was a big deal. "Just come to my house and cook. My kitchen is very clean."
That's fine too.
Lin Zhiyi nodded.
The two of them simply agreed to meet at ten o'clock tomorrow.
Before leaving, Han Xu handed over the apple in his hand.
"Christmas Eve is all about eating apples and staying safe and sound."
In foreign countries, there is no custom of eating apples on Christmas Eve, but Han Xu's words reminded Lin Zhiyi of when he was studying in China, he often received a lot of apples on Christmas Eve.
Sweet and crunchy, very delicious.
Seeing that he was a little absent-minded, Han Xu suddenly curled his lips and took a step forward.
He supported himself against the wall with one hand and lowered his body. The distance between them suddenly shortened and his breathing could be heard clearly.
Lin Zhiyi subconsciously took a step back to keep some distance.
Warm breath brushed across his face. Han Xu bent down and took an apple from the bag, smiling brightly: "I'm a little thirsty."
"good evening."
Without waiting for Lin Zhiyi to answer, he said good night, turned around and walked away in big strides.
Lin Zhiyi turned around and went back to the house, locked the door, and went to the kitchen to wash two apples.
He took it into the room, sat at the desk, and suddenly looked up.
Outside the window, white snowflakes began to fall. He opened the curtains and looked out, but his sight suddenly stopped.
Under a street light not far away, Han Xu was leaning against a graffiti wall covered with hearts, looking in his direction.
Lin Zhiyi subconsciously hid behind the curtains, then remembered that from that angle, he should not be able to see himself, and could only see the faint light.
He paused and looked in Han Xu's direction.
Across the night snow, Han Xu tilted his head to look over here, with one hand in his pocket, slowly eating the apple in his hand.
After eating the whole fruit, he picked up the core to look at it, then reluctantly threw it into the trash can and left briskly.
Watching his back as he walked away, Lin Zhiyi felt a little weird for some reason.
It's a very strange feeling.
He realized belatedly that he hadn't eaten the apple yet, so he picked it up and took a bite. It was crispy and sweet.
It’s really delicious.

At ten o'clock the next day, there was a knock on Lin Zhiyi's door.
Opening the door, Han Xu smiled and said, "Good morning."
"morning."
"Can you wait in the living room for a moment?" Lin Zhiyi stepped aside to make way for the passage. "I'm checking my students' homework. It will be done soon."
Lin Zhiyi is very good at foreign languages and also teaches several domestic students. Today, a student handed in his homework late, which delayed him a bit.
"It's okay, it's still early."
When Han Xu walked into the room, he found that the air conditioning and heating were not turned on. He had to put his half-taken coat back on.
Lin Zhiyi's gaze fell on the other person's profile and paused slightly.
My ears are so red, is it cold outside?
"Come to my room."
Lin Zhiyi found the air conditioner remote control, turned on the heater, and then sat back at the table.
There was only one chair in the room. Lin Zhiyi poured a cup of hot water for Han Xu, gave up the chair, and sat on the carpet in the room to correct homework.
Han Xu didn't walk over, but just stood by the door, looking around the room quietly.
There wasn't much in the room, it was clean and tidy, just like the impression he gave.
His eyes fell on the light blue bed sheet. Han Xu glanced at it, his ears felt hot, and he quickly looked away.
Han Xu took a sip of hot water, looked at the wall of the glass, and couldn't help but think of a serious question:
Has Lin Zhiyi used this cup before...
*
Lin Zhiyi was very quick and finished correcting the homework in just over ten minutes. When he turned around, he saw Han Xu still standing there with a glass in his hand, his head down, wondering what he was thinking about.
He put away his things, walked over and patted the other person's shoulder: "Let's go buy groceries."
Han Xu was stunned for a few seconds before he reacted. He drank the water in the cup in one breath and chased after him.
"No need to go buy anything." Han Xu quickly followed Lin Zhiyi's steps. "I have a lot of fresh ingredients over there. Just go ahead."
"Did you buy it this morning?"
“Well… not entirely.”
Han Xu looked away, feeling a little guilty.
Actually, I bought it this morning.
Thinking that Lin Zhiyi was coming over, he cleaned up his room last night and was so excited that he could hardly sleep. In the morning, as soon as the supermarket opened, he went to buy vegetables and filled the refrigerator.
Lin Zhiyi sighed in his heart.
He agreed to treat us, but now the bill is unclear.
…
The house Han Xu rented was in the most land-scarce area in the city center. The apartment was on the top floor and Han Xu was the only one living in the over 100 square meters apartment.
The interior decoration is simple, but it is cleaner and brighter than expected, and every tile on the floor is glowing.
