Chapter 5 Chapter 5
Bai He thought that after meeting Su Xing, they would not see each other for a long time. Unexpectedly, Su Xing knocked on his door the next day.
Bai He was still sleeping at that time. When he received the call, opened the door and saw Su Xingye, his eyes were still blank.
"Why are you here?" Bai He scratched his head in confusion.
"I happen to have a day off today, so I wanted to come to your house." Su Xing naturally walked into Bai He's house.
The first thing that greeted him was a majestic German Shepherd with smooth fur and sharp eyes. When it saw a stranger, it immediately stood up alertly, its gait steady and full of stability and energy. It was obvious that it was a good dog.
Su Xing also showed some fondness on his face. "You said you would get a German Shepherd after you started working, and now you have done it."
"Yes. Its name is Heidou. It's not Dou, but Dou, which means fighting." Baihe's expression softened immediately. He squatted down and rubbed the dog's chin affectionately. Heidou stuck out his tongue happily.
"Come and say hello to Dad's friends."
Heidou extended a paw, his eyes dark and serious. Su Xing also reached out and took it. Their serious expressions resembled a solemn meeting between two elementary school students. Baihe was amused by his own thoughts.
"Have a seat first. The house is a bit messy." Bai He led Su Xing to sit on the sofa, feeling a bit embarrassed by the sight of the living room. His leftover snacks lay on the coffee table, and next to it, a few unopened packages lay on the floor. The white tile floor hadn't been mopped in a few days, leaving marks and dog hair on it. Like most boys, Bai He was a bit rough with his hygiene, but it was passable.
Su Xing, on the other hand, was quite the opposite. Even in high school, he was very particular about his appearance. Every day, his clothes smelled fresh of laundry detergent, and his sneakers were always spotless. Now he's a doctor, and I've heard many doctors have mysophobia.
Bai He was embarrassed.
Fortunately, there was nothing strange on Su Xing's face, otherwise Bai He, who had been secretly observing him, would have been doomed.
"This is a snack cart. What do you want to eat or drink? Just take it from it." In order to save trouble, Bai He stocked up a lot of snacks and drinks at home. Sometimes when he was busy with work and forgot to eat, he would eat some snacks and drinks to fill his stomach, so he specially bought a snack cart.
This cart has five layers, each filled with a variety of snacks and drinks, it is definitely a child's dream.
But Su Xingye, who didn't frown when he saw the poor hygiene in Baihe's house, frowned when he saw the full snack cart.
"You usually eat these." Su Xing also said
"Yeah!" Bai He nodded. Nonsense, I bought it and I'm not going to eat it.
"Eat him as a meal." Su Xing's tone also became serious.
"Yeah." He specially bought a lot of bread of different flavors just to eat as a staple food.
"Even elementary school students know that these are junk food. You are such a grown-up and you still eat snacks as meals. You don't take care of your body." Su Xing's face also turned cold.
"Have you had breakfast?"
Su Xing also had a stern face, and Bai He seemed to have returned to eight years ago when he was under Su Xing's strict supervision.
"No, I just got up." Bai He shook his head honestly.
Hearing this, Su Xingye's anger flared up even more. It was almost eleven o'clock, and he still hadn't gotten up. He usually abused his body like this.
Su Xing also pursed his lips and straightened his jaw. Bai He instinctively softened his tone and said, "I'll order takeout right away."
The peach blossom eyes, which were originally full of tenderness, were now wide open, with an innocent and cautious look like a small animal. Su Xing couldn't help feeling a little dazed, as the person in front of him was the same person he was eight years ago.
At that time, Bai He was a problem student, but he happened to become good friends with the model student Su Xingye. He always found ways to provoke the calm and reserved Su Xing to lose his composure.
But he has an animal-like instinct. Every time before Su Xing gets really angry, he will make him deflate. Bai He has the ability to make Su Xing angry and love him at the same time, and he likes him very much.
"Where is the refrigerator?" Su Xing was reluctant to get angry with him, so he could only sulk by himself.
Bai He pointed to the kitchen. Su Xing also opened the refrigerator, which contained a lot of food, which made Su Xing feel a little relieved.
"Will you cook for me?" Bai He asked in surprise as he looked at Su Xingye who was taking out vegetables from the refrigerator and washing them.
"Yeah, eating takeout all the time isn't good for your health," Su Xing said, his head lowered. He was very skilled at chopping vegetables, and it looked like he'd been doing it all the time. With a flick of his knife, he sliced the potatoes into thin strips, and soon they were piled neatly on the cutting board, looking like a work of art.
"Actually, I don't eat out all the time. I only order takeout when I don't have enough time." Bai He made a small excuse.
"I'm sorry to ask you to cook for me when you come to my house as a guest."
"You don't have to be so polite with me. I was originally planning to have Chinese food at your house." Su Xing also raised his head and his tone was familiar.
"Oh!" Bai He, who had been just paying attention, was suddenly stumped. Was this the reserved Su Xing he remembered? How much had time given Mo Li to make such a cold and noble boy become so shameless...
After calling Su Xing again, he told him to get whatever he wanted. Bai Hexi went to the bathroom, pulling on his slippers.
When he came back from the shower, the smell of food was already wafting from the kitchen.
Bai He shook his wet head and asked, "Do you need help?"
Su Xing also looked up at Bai He. Although he said this, he didn't even step into the kitchen. His hands were behind his back. Su Xing, who knew him well, could tell at a glance that he was insincere. "No need. I'll be done soon."
Bai He smiled relaxedly upon hearing this and said, "Thank you for your hard work."
After saying that, he lay down on the sofa without any hesitation. Heidou was obviously more enthusiastic than his owner. He had been squatting at the kitchen door, staring at Su Xingye's every move, his tail swinging, and saliva dripping from his grinning mouth.
Su Xing also saw that a piece of meat was handed to it. Hei Dou was tempted and his mouth was watering even more, but he did not open his mouth.
Su Xing didn't force it either.
It was a rare occasion for someone to cook for him, so Su Xing comfortably turned on the TV, where a news report was playing.
This is a follow-up to the pneumonia outbreak in Lin City that I saw two days ago. Instead of being brought under control, the situation is getting worse. This flu-like virus is highly contagious, and the initial symptoms resemble a cold, leading to many patients being misdiagnosed. The number of patients, which was just a few dozen two days ago, has now grown to hundreds. Fortunately, while this virus is highly contagious, it's not difficult to cure.
When Bai He saw the medical staff on TV, all wrapped in white protective suits, his brain was struck hard, and countless fragmented images were finally connected by a thread.
"What's wrong"
Su Xingye, who came out with the dishes, saw Bai He lying on the sofa with one hand covering his face.
"Something big seems to have happened?"
Bai He sat up and looked at the TV with his eyes wide open, empty and lifeless, like a lifeless doll.
Su Xing also frowned and looked at the TV following his gaze.
Pneumonia virus
