"Me?" Wei You said, "I'm doing fine. I'm not sick, and nothing else has happened to me. As for the person I like..."
Wei Xu couldn't help but open his eyes slightly.
Wei You chuckled: "It's not that easy to find one, and I don't plan to get married for the time being."
"Really?" Wei Xu smiled calmly, looking at his clear and clean eyes.
·
After dinner, Wei Xu took Wei You to visit the workbench in his room, explained to him the uses of various tools, and demonstrated to him the process of putting makeup on a doll's head. The work was so detailed that Wei You was amazed.
Watching him gluing eyelashes to the baby's eyes one by one, Wei You admired his patience from the bottom of his heart.
He didn't dare to make too much noise, fearing to disturb Wei Xu's work, so he just sighed quietly: "With your skills, you can become a beauty blogger!"
"It's not that difficult, brother, do you want to try it?"
"Forget it. I don't have your patience." Wei You quickly refused and turned to the glass cabinet beside him to admire Wei Xu's finished work.
Looking at the vivid and exquisite little figures in the cabinet, although he does not have babies, at this moment he suddenly understood the feelings of those who like them.
"How long did the longest one take you to do?"
Wei Xu turned his chair, stared at his back and said, "I don't remember. I just did it in my spare time. I haven't calculated it."
"Did you do all this?"
"Um."
"Amazing, so amazing, you must have the hand of a descendant of Nuwa!" He exclaimed, took a step back, and suddenly found that several positions on the shelf seemed to be vacant, so he asked: "Were there originally things placed in these places?"
Wei Xu paused in turning his chair, and after a while he replied, "It's sold."
"You sold quite a lot. If it were me, I would not be willing to sell them even though I spent so much time and effort on them." Wei You shook his head and sighed, then looked away and asked, "Are you going to continue to make that girl's custom order?"
Wei Xu hesitated for a few seconds and nodded.
"Then you go ahead and do your work. I won't bother you here anymore."
"It's okay, don't bother."
"You think I'm not disturbing you, but I just saw you working. You didn't even dare to breathe too loudly. You almost suffocated." Wei You joked, turned around and walked out of the room, saying, "You go and do your own thing. I'll go clean up. I guess you don't have much time to clean up. The floor is covered with dust."
Seeing the door closed by Wei You, Wei Xu frowned, glanced at the empty space on the glass cabinet, then lowered his eyes and glanced under the bed.
·
Wei Xu stayed in his room all afternoon, busying himself, while Wei You was outside playing music and cleaning.
Cleaning is a magical job. Sometimes you just want to sweep the living room, but you accidentally glance at the messy coffee table and cabinets, and you will start to tidy up the house unconsciously. When you are tidying up, you see clothes piled in the laundry basket, and you will want to wash the clothes as well...so it turns into a big cleaning in the end.
After more than two hours, Wei You finished everything he could do and collapsed on the sofa completely exhausted. He didn't even have the energy to play with his phone and could only stare at the ceiling in a daze.
But I have to say that cleaning the house is a very stress-relieving thing, and it is very fulfilling to see the house become neater and brighter little by little.
Not long after, Wei Xu came out of the room and saw him slumped on the sofa and asked, "What's wrong?"
"Nothing, just take a break after cleaning," Wei You replied, "Are you done?"
"I'm done with my work for now. I'm going to go buy some groceries."
"Would you like me to go with you?"
"No, just rest at home, I'll be back soon."
Wei You was just being polite and had no intention of getting up at all, so he waved his hand and told him to go and come back early.
Wei Xu responded, put on his shoes quickly and went out.
Not long after the door was closed, Wei You heard the sound of a key being inserted into the door lock. He thought he had forgotten something, but the key turned twice and was pulled out, and no one came in.
Wei You was stunned for a moment, then he got up, put on his slippers, went to the door, pressed the door handle, and found that the boy had really locked the door.
If you live alone, it would be a good idea to lock the door, but there is someone else at home now!
The key point is that he didn’t have a new key, so he was locked in. If anything happened, he wouldn’t be able to get out.
After pressing the doorknob twice more to make sure it was locked, Wei You returned to the sofa and lay down, feeling a little depressed, thinking that the child would have to ask him for the key when he came back.
Wei Xu came back very quickly. In less than fifteen minutes, he appeared at the door carrying a large bag of ingredients.
Wei You asked him about locking the door.
The other party showed a surprised expression, as if he had not noticed this matter. He took out the spare key and gave it to him, while apologizing: "Sorry, brother, I forgot you don't have the key."
"It's okay." Wei You knew that he definitely didn't do it on purpose, so he naturally wouldn't blame him, but he still reminded him: "Next time when I'm home, you don't have to lock the door."
Wei Xu lowered his eyes, responded obediently, then took the ingredients to the kitchen to cook.
"Can I help you?"
"No, I can handle it."
Wei You leaned against the kitchen door and watched him methodically take out the ingredients and sort them out. For a moment, he seemed to experience the feeling of an elderly father being cared for by his children.
·
To welcome Wei You back, Wei Xu prepared a sumptuous dinner with five dishes and a soup filling the table.
Wei You picked up the most attractive garlic shrimp and tasted it, then raised his eyebrows: "It's OK, it's delicious."
Wei Xu looked at him without blinking: "Is it delicious?"
"Hmm," Wei You took another bite of the sweet and sour chicken, and then couldn't help but give a thumbs up, "To be honest, your cooking skills are much better than mine."
"Your cooking is still the best, brother."
"Don't be modest at a time like this."
Wei You thought for a moment and teased him deliberately, "Generally speaking, when two people live together, the one who can cook is responsible for cooking. If both of them can cook, the one who cooks the best will be in charge of the kitchen, understand?"
Wei Xu heard the hidden meaning and said, "I am willing to do so. I can cook for my brother every day."
Wei You picked up the spoon and drank a mouthful of soup, then said, "That sounds nice, but don't you eat all three meals at school?"
"You can also come back and tell the teacher." Wei Xu thought seriously, "The top student in the grade should have this privilege."
"Why do you always have so many privileges? Save some time for your teacher," Wei You said with a smile, "I just said it casually. You're wasting time running back and forth. It would be good enough if you can just cook two meals for me at home on the weekends."
Since he said so, Wei Xu could only nod, with a hint of regret in his expression.
·
Because Wei Xu cooked the meal, Wei You took the initiative to wash the dishes after the meal.
After washing the dishes and going to the room, I saw Wei Xu already at the table, busy doing his homework.
Perhaps because there were too many things piled on the table in his room and it was difficult to clean up, he did his homework in Wei You's room.
Wei You felt sorry for him not having any free time to rest, so he said while lying on the rocking chair, "Don't take any more orders after you finish the ones you have. I will give you living expenses, but you still have to spend time studying in high school."
Wei Xu said in a cold voice, "Okay, I'll listen to you."
There was a lot of homework in high school. Wei Xu started doing the homework at six o'clock and didn't finish until nearly ten o'clock. By that time, Wei You had already taken a shower, brushed his teeth, and was lying on the bed playing with his mobile phone.
"Have you finished writing?" Wei You asked lazily when he saw him getting up to pack his things.
Wei Xu said "hmm".
"Then go take a shower."
Wei Xu hesitated for a while and said, "I'm too lazy to make the bed. Can I sleep with you tonight?"
Wei You raised his eyes, but did not agree immediately. Instead, he asked, "Do you still have the habit of hugging something when you sleep?"
"have no idea."
"I don't know what that means?"
"I don't know if I'll hug anything when I fall asleep."
Wei You sighed lightly, thinking that it was a bit crowded for two people to sleep, but after all, he hadn't been back for so long, so it would be nice to keep in touch with the child.
Then he said, "It's up to you. If you want to sleep with me, then sleep with me."
A smile appeared on Wei Xu's lips and he nodded happily.
As if worried that Wei You would go back on his word, he quickly packed up his books and put them back into his bag, then took off his shirt and trousers and threw them into the laundry basket as if no one was around.
Wei You caught a glimpse of a thin figure out of the corner of his eye, and when he looked up, he saw Wei Xu, who was only wearing a pair of underwear, standing next to the closet and looking for clothes.
He accidentally saw the outline of the other person's abdominal muscles and couldn't help but raise his eyebrows: "The boy has a good figure and abdominal muscles. How did you train them?"
"Maybe it's from running and doing pull-ups every day at school." Wei Xu answered pretending to be calm, but the tips of his ears turned slightly red. In a panic, he took out his pajamas from the folded clothes and held them in his arms.
Wei You just asked casually and didn't pay much attention to his answer.
Then she noticed the silver chain around his neck and asked in surprise, "You're still wearing that necklace?"
Wei Xu looked down at the silver moon pendant hanging between his collarbones and nodded.
"You are too thrifty. You are not willing to change your shoes even though they have turned black. I will buy you another one later."
"It's okay, just wash it with toothpaste and it will be clean."
Wei You didn't argue with him much, just nodded and said "Okay".
I was thinking about when I could go out and buy him a necklace as compensation for the birthday gifts he gave me two years ago.
Worried that there wouldn’t be enough pillows for two people, Wei Xu took two more pillows from next door after washing up.
As soon as he lay down, Wei You felt that the bed had become much more crowded and narrow.
It’s strange to say, this guy has such a thin figure, long arms and legs, without any extra fat. Logically, he should not take up much space, but he has a strong sense of presence.
In the end, Wei You could only attribute this phenomenon to the mysterious aura of human beings.
Before turning off the lights and going to bed, Wei You reminded him again: "Don't hug me tonight. You don't know how hot you are. If you want to hug, hug the pillow."
Wei Xu lay flat on his back and responded obediently: "I will pay attention, brother."
Wei You gave him some time to relax and said, "Well, go to sleep."
The words sounded nice, but Wei You was still woken up by the heat the next morning.
In a daze, he felt as if a large octopus was wrapped around him. It was heavy, hot, and sticky, and it kept spraying hot air on his neck, making it hard for him to breathe.
Wei You frowned unbearably and stretched out his arms to push away the things that were emitting heat beside him, especially the thing that was touching his thigh, which was particularly hot.
He stretched out his hand and pushed it to the side, and when he pressed on the hottest object, a dull hum suddenly came from his ears.
Awakened by the sound, Wei You came to his senses, opened his hazy eyes and looked to the side. Seeing the fair and beautiful profile of the young man next to him, he suddenly realized that something was wrong and immediately withdrew his hand.
Wei Xu's eyelashes trembled, he lifted his eyelids, half-opened his eyes and looked at Wei You for a few seconds. Then he seemed to have just recalled what had just happened, and his face suddenly turned red as if he had a fever.
He hurriedly withdrew his arms and legs from Wei You's embrace and quickly turned over to face Wei You.
Although her face was red all the way to her neck, she still pretended to be indifferent and said, "I'm sorry, brother. I didn't mean it."
Wei You thought to himself, why are you apologizing? It is obviously me who should apologize.
He coughed lightly and said in a casual tone to ease the embarrassment: "It's okay, don't be embarrassed, this is a normal physiological phenomenon."
Having said that, Wei You caught a glimpse of his hunched body and the red neck under the clean hairline at the back of his head, and suddenly felt the remaining touch on his hand inexplicably clear.
Help, this atmosphere is too weird!
The author has something to say: Guazi Diary:
October 11, 2014 / Thursday / Sunny
I thought today would be another boring Saturday until I saw him in front of the milk tea shop on my way home.
At that moment, I thought I was dreaming.
My heart was pounding and I didn't dare breathe loudly for fear of waking up from the dream.
But then, I saw his smile and I knew I was not dreaming, I really waited for him to come back.
He really hasn't changed at all.
After that, my mind was in a daze and I couldn’t figure out what I was doing. It took me a long time to calm down.
Although I say I am calm, actually until now I still feel a sense of unreality.
As soon as I got home, I went back to my room and hid everything. I was afraid he would see them, so I locked the door. I hoped he wouldn't mind.
We talked a lot, and I told him everything that happened in the past. He seemed very guilty and said sorry to me.
I admit that I did resent him for not coming back and why he couldn't be with me all the time.
I said it in a high-sounding way, but I am actually a selfish person. Not only selfish, but also very greedy. What I want, he may never think of in his lifetime...
I won’t say any more. It’s time to go shopping for groceries. I’m going to cook a big meal in the evening.
Anyway, thank you for coming back after I said such willful words.
