A bowl of sweet soup

Chapter 13 Bowl 1 13

However, it took less than 3 minutes to put down the phone.

Do not feel at ease.

Tang Xuen took out the phone again, and replied as usual: 【Good night. 】

A person who is asleep should show an attitude of ignorance, and there should be no abnormalities compared with usual.

Otherwise, wouldn't Ji Wei find out that he was actually pretending to be asleep.

Put down the phone again.

After a few more minutes, Tang Xuen always felt that something was wrong, he turned over and remembered——

He hasn't showered since Ji Wei touched and kissed him.

After returning home, I didn't do much work and didn't sweat much, so I didn't feel uncomfortable. I was only thinking about Ji Wei, so I accidentally forgot about taking a bath.

Tang Xuen got up and went to take a shower.

The vest was taken off and crumpled into a ball in his hands. He lowered his head and smelled it, and he always felt that it smelled like Ji Wei.

It's so weird.

Don't you have to put on soap when you take a shower?Tang Xuen scrubbed his body, thinking, why is it always touching, the feeling of his own hands is completely different from that of other people's hands?

He washed himself thoroughly until his skin felt astringent, then wiped it off, and went back to sleep.

But some can't sleep.

The memory of the last time he was drunk was just an ambiguous outline, as if it had been melted and was not clear. Even so, Tang Xuen had repeated vague dreams several times.

Now it's a lucid dream.

In a daze, he seemed to feel Ji Wei approaching in the darkness, hugging him, kissing his ear, and asking: "Xiao Xu, do you feel comfortable?"

"Uncomfortable," he said.

Ji Wei smiled and asked, "Is it really uncomfortable?"

He felt ashamed about to explode.

Especially after waking up, Tang Xuen thought, what kind of dream is he having?what is this?Aftertaste?

Because he didn't sleep well at night, when he got up to work early in the morning, Tang Xuen kept yawning, so that Tang Zheng saw it and said to him: "Brother, if you are tired, go to sleep for a while."

Tang Xuen said, "It's okay, it's just that I didn't sleep well last night."

Tang Xuen is very hardworking today. He does all the work at home. He wakes up early in the morning and works diligently in the store. After closing, he continues to work, cooking and cleaning. old scalper.

He took good care of his two younger brothers, but he didn't spoil them as little young masters who didn't touch the spring water. The younger brother also started working since he was a child.

In the past, Tang Xuen worked very hard to pay off his debts. He had to get up at 5 o'clock every morning to prepare for the opening of the store. Tang Zheng and Tang Yuan would follow him to help his brother. For them, who were still elementary school students at that time, it was like playing a game. They laughed and laughed every day. , do not feel bitter.

They would finish their homework at school, and when they got home, Tang Yuan would help his brother clean the store, while Tang Zheng would cook.Therefore, even if the elder brother is not around, the two of them will not panic, they are good hardworking guys.

When they went home during the summer vacation, they all wanted to share more burdens with their elder brother—and they did so before.

But today, he’s still not happy if you don’t let Tang Xuen work. If he insists on doing it, there’s nothing he can do about it. The two of them can’t help the eldest brother, so they can only watch Tang Xuen work from morning to night every day, and then be on time at 10 o’clock in the evening Go back to the room and fall asleep.

The two of them looked at each other, not knowing what happened to the elder brother.

Tang Xuen herself felt that it would be better to be tired.

He can be so tired that he doesn't have to be unable to fall asleep because he is full of thoughts about Ji Wei before going to bed.

Although, it is still a pity that he still dreams of Ji Wei when he falls asleep.

When Tang Xuen was young, he never imagined that they would date until now, they have never been cold and alienated, nor have they had any quarrels.

Tang Xuen met a pair of old friends on Xiaoheqiao Street.It is Grandpa Wang who lives on the street and Grandpa Zhang who lives at the end of the street. One of them is a retired soldier and the other is a calligrapher. It may be because they are similar in age and there are no other old people who can talk together, so they will visit each other. say something.

The two old men have already had gray hair, but their bodies are quite strong. They were also obsessed with fishing a few years ago, and they would go fishing together at least three or four days a week.

If the harvest is good that day, the two of them will come back singing songs along the way.

One day, Tang Xu'en happened to meet them returning with a full load, singing a chorus in a wild way.He couldn't help but smile a little when he saw the two of them in such high spirits.

Looking at the backs of the two old men, Tang Xuen even hallucinated him and Ji Wei, thinking confidently that he and Ji Wei would be good friends for life, and when Ji Wei retired and he was old, they Go out and play together like this.

At that time, Tang Xuen told Ji Wei about his idea.

Ji Wei also laughed after hearing that, and told him, why not they go to the countryside together, and Ji Wei builds a big villa, and the two of them will live together and take care of each other.

Tang Xuen directly agreed, saying yes, yes, thinking that it is really a wonderful old age life.

Then he felt something was wrong, he asked Ji Wei: "No, aren't you married? You can't live with your wife?"

Ji Wei said: "I'm not very interested in getting married. I want to concentrate on my career, fulfill my personal life value, and contribute to society. Isn't it more meaningful than getting married and having children?"

Tang Xuen was immediately in awe of Ji Wei, he felt that Ji Wei's ideals, ambitions and ideological realm were not at the same level as his own.

However, maybe it's just a talk... people's thoughts will change, and if you don't want to get married now, it doesn't mean you don't want to in the future.

He thought at the time, when Ji Wei gets married and has a wife and children, he probably won't be able to hang out with him almost every day like he was when he was single.

He is also, if married, it must be the family is more important.

So why not hurry up and enjoy each other's single happy time now.

Tang Xuen never thought that his friendship with Ji Wei might collapse one day.

It seems inaccurate to use the word collapse, perhaps it would be better to replace it with deterioration.

Speaking of which, how did he and Ji Wei become friends?

That was many years ago—

The second semester of the second year of junior high school.

Once in a music class, the music teacher taught them basic ballroom dancing steps, and first asked everyone to choose a partner or classmate.

Tang Xuen felt very embarrassed.

He doesn't seem to have any bad friends in class, but he doesn't have good friends either. It's been like this since childhood. The classmates don't hate him, and they don't like him. It's just a casual relationship. Every time this happens, you have to find someone to be with him. When cooperating, he couldn't find anyone.

He will always be the one left alone.

He was also embarrassed to take the initiative to ask others.

He asked once, when he was still in elementary school, in the second grade, he was only eight years old at that time, he was a very shy and introverted little boy, he finally mustered up the courage to ask his little friend, but the other party said he was early Just tell your best friend.

Little Tang Xuen felt a little self-deprecating and was hit because he thought the other party was his good friend, but it turned out not to be.

He let out an oh and walked away obediently.

In the end he became the extra kid in the class.

That was the first time in his life that he mustered up the courage to make friends with someone, but it ended without a problem. Although he forgot about that classmate, since then, he has never been very close to anyone.

But it doesn't matter, if he is left, the teacher will partner with him.

Tang Xuen didn't take the initiative to ask other students, but sat in his seat and waited to be left behind.it does not matter.

The students were all at the most sensitive and shy age of adolescence, and they all chose their good friends as partners.

During recess, Tang Xuen also heard several girls joking with each other:

"Go and invite Ji Wei, how well-matched you are."

"Why don't you go? You are more worthy."

They seem to have established a mysterious small group among the girls. They have to walk hand in hand in a row all day long, and some even call their little sister groups nicknames.Tang Xuen didn't understand, but he vaguely understood that Ji Wei was probably very popular among girls, and every time the girls talked, they would talk about boys, and they would talk about Ji Wei.

Unlike him, he is a transparent person.

Even though he was the person who talked to Ji Wei the most in the class at that time, Tang Xuen still didn't think he and Ji Wei were friends.

He just treated Ji Wei with an ordinary attitude when others misunderstood and ignored Ji Wei. It should be said that he was an ordinary classmate.

So, when Ji Wei invited him, Tang Xuen was a little dumbfounded.

Ji Wei asked: "What? Have you made an appointment with someone else?"

Tang Xuen shook his head: "No, I don't have a partner yet."

Ji Wei breathed a sigh of relief.

But should he say yes?

Before he said whether it was okay or not, Ji Wei made a unilateral decision rather domineeringly, and nodded: "Okay. Then I will report to the music committee."

They didn't seem to have declared that they were friends anymore.

The young Ji Wei is arrogant and withdrawn, and only chooses people he likes to make friends with.

So many people took the initiative to show affection to him, but he only bowed his head to Tang Xuen and begged.

After that, Tang Xuen no longer had to worry about school activities or homework that needed to find a partner, and Ji Wei would definitely partner with him, saving each other trouble by default.

The number of times is too many, and the students also tacitly agree that under normal circumstances, Tang Xuen and Ji Wei are a couple.

Ji Wei costs thousands of dollars for a random basketball, and Tang Xuen always wears a pair of shoes worth tens of dollars over and over again, but what does this have to do with their friendship?

Ji Wei is not proud, and Tang Xuen is not inferior.

They are the best pair of friends in the world.

Tang Xuen woke up sleepily from the dream, and found that outside the window, the lights in the corridor of the old house were still on, with a dim yellow light.

He fell into a sweat from the sleep, and felt that his forehead and collar were wet. He pressed his heart, and always felt some inexplicable palpitations, which made him sleep restlessly.

On the high table in his bedroom, an old hanging clock in his sixties made a particularly loud sound.

Tick, tick, tick.

Tang Xuen turned over, feeling thirsty and heartburning, thinking, I'd better get up and get a glass of water.

He just wore crumpled pajamas, sloppy, and didn't even pull up the vest that was rolled up in sleep. He scratched his stomach, opened the door and went out, and walked lightly to the lobby.He heard someone talking outside the door, and thought it was two younger brothers chatting.

Then he stepped over the threshold and saw Ji Wei when he raised his eyes.

Ji Wei should have come here directly after get off work. He was sitting on an old rattan chair with one hand on the table beside him, looking very patient.

Before he was mentally prepared, he suddenly saw Ji Wei, caught him off guard, his heart rate soared instantly, and his temples thumped like a drum.

Ji Wei, who was originally a little downhearted, turned his head and looked at him. In this very short moment, Tang Xuen seemed to be able to see his own figure reflected in Ji Wei's eyes, and then the corners of Ji Wei's eyes and brows slowly eased. unfolded.

If you see something cute, you will unconsciously want to smile.

So novel.

Tang Xuen felt like getting to know Ji Wei again.

He had never observed it so carefully before, but he felt roughly that when he saw Ji Wei, it was like being illuminated by the sun, and the warmth penetrated into his heart.

Ji Wei got up and said, "Are you awake? They thought you were asleep, but they said you were tired after a busy day, so they didn't go to wake you up."

Tang Xuen asked blankly: "I'm thirsty, drink a glass of water before continuing to sleep. Why are you here?"

Ji Wei pointed to a bag on the table, and said: "I went to a party tonight, and I ate a small pear soup with someone in a newly opened restaurant. I thought it was delicious, so I ordered an extra pack. I thought about bringing it for you to taste."

Tang Xuen's heart felt sweet, Ji Wei was always like this, there was something delicious, so he wanted to bring him some.

Ji Wei said: "Aren't you thirsty? It's just right. Xiao Diao Li Soup clears heat and quenches thirst."

Tang Xuen nodded: "Yeah."

Before he knew it, Tang Yuan left silently.

There were only the two of them left in the hall, the overhead light shone down, the warm and dense light shone around them, and the light sweet taste spread on the tip of the tongue.Ji Wei is really kind to him.he thinks.

If Ji Wei didn't stare at him all the time, he would be more at ease.

He kept saying to himself in his heart, behave more calmly and naturally, Tang Xuen, don't be found out.

He felt that he should have covered it up pretty well.

Ji Wei succeeded in feeding again, watched him eat the sweet soup with satisfaction, and asked, "Is it delicious?"

Tang Xuen: "It's delicious."

After a while, Ji Wei, who had had enough time to rest, nodded, and asked with a smile in his eyes: "Xiaoxu, do I think you've been a little angry recently? That's why you're always thirsty in the middle of the night, and you got up to drink water last night, right?" "

"As soon as I walked in, I saw the water glass on the table."

Tang Xuen: "..."
