A bowl of sweet soup

Chapter 14 Bowl 1 14

Tang Xuen didn't think of putting the water glass at all, he only remembered it after being reminded by Ji Wei.

Because of his guilty conscience, he immediately thought it was Ji Wei's hint that he knew he was awake at the time.

His heart was clenched tightly like an invisible hand, so dangerous that he didn't choke this time.

Tang Xuen used a small porcelain spoon to scoop up the small pear soup that was left in the small porcelain cup, made a soft tinkling sound, and said indistinctly: "It seems so, I went back to sleep after drinking the water."

Ji Wei looked at him deeply.

Tang Xuen lowered his eyebrows and lowered his eyelashes, the dim light softened his age, exactly the same as when he was a teenager, so quiet that he seemed to be resigned.

This appearance sometimes makes Ji Wei angry, but more often it makes him want to protect Tang Xuen.

He remembered that when he was still abroad a few years ago, Tang Xuen once signed a long-term food delivery order with a company, which he happily wrote about in his letter.As a result, after two months of delivery, Tang's shop did not receive a settlement, and the funds on the account were almost unable to turn over, and the other party asked him to continue to deliver, saying that if he continued to deliver, he would settle the previous payment.

When Ji Wei heard the news, he was almost not pissed off. He dreamed at night that Tang Xuen was being bullied and wiped his tears. He wanted to write a letter to scold him, but he couldn't write a heavy sentence.

In the end, he contacted his relatives, entrusted his relationship, and gave money. The lawyer, the media, and the relevant departments all tried their best to take care of it.

He has always known that Tang Xuen has this kind of temperament.

Being bullied, most of the time he doesn't realize that he is being bullied, even if he is aware of it, he is like a piece of dough, so soft that he doesn't know what to do.

No one can protect it.

Apart from Tang Xuen's parents, Ji Wei felt that he was the last person who didn't want Tang Xuen to be bullied.

——But this time it was he who was bullying Tang Xuen.

Tang Xuen didn't know what Ji Wei was planning, so he drank two sips of water anxiously to moisten his throat, but after seeing Ji Wei, the hallucination that his throat was dry and coughing in anxiety deepened further.

Tang Xuen asked blankly: "Why are you looking at me? You still have a half-smile."

Ji Wei said flatly: "It's nothing, just to see you, it seems that you haven't woken up, I will talk to you again when you wake up."

As he said that, he couldn't help reaching out his hand, touched the tip of his curled hair, and said in a tone as if he was so cute: "Here, it's also curled up by rubbing your hair."

Obviously he didn't touch him, but Tang Xuen had the illusion of being touched.

As if he had been shocked, he reached out to touch reflexively, but accidentally bumped into Ji Wei's fingertips.

Just as he was about to withdraw his hand, Ji Wei gently pinched his fingers, guided him to touch his messy hair, scratched his fingers with the ends of his hair, and said, "Here, here."

Tang Xuen felt his fingers go numb, and said in a muffled voice, "I know." Then he took the opportunity to withdraw his hand, put it on his lap, and used the shadow of the table as a cover, secretly pinching his numb fingertips, He asked in a messy mood, "Then you go to dinner today, is the business deal done?"

Ji Wei said, "Well, almost, it went well."

Tang Xuen: "Aren't you tired? Come to see me after dinner."

In a vague way, he realized that Ji Wei's preferential treatment for him was unusual, and he had never realized it before.

Now, after being kissed by Ji Wei, Tang Xuen dully began to doubt Ji Wei's motives.

He also thought that Ji Wei was a person with extraordinary energy, so he was able to come and associate with him from time to time while taking care of his career.

When he was studying, Ji Wei was very good. He was able to learn his homework well, and at the same time, he participated in the school basketball team and prepared for English speech competitions, so that he managed his study and life in an orderly manner.

By the way, he also helped himself to find out which hospital had a good doctor, accompanied him to take his father to see a doctor on weekends, accompanied him to the hospital from time to time, and occasionally he could entrust his two younger brothers to Ji Wei to take care of them.

In his heart, Ji Wei is simply a superman, as if there are 48 hours in a day, tireless and omnipotent.

Then, in the past, he thought that it was not surprising that Ji Wei occasionally took time to maintain his friendship with him. Maybe he wanted to escape from the highly tense work environment and find a place and someone to relax.

Ji Wei said, "It's nothing, I just want to meet you."

Listen, what a perfunctory reason, not serious at all.

But the meeting between the two of them was really like this before, there is no need for any serious reason, just see each other whenever you want.

Tang Xuen somewhat felt that these words were a bit ambiguous and ironic.

If it was before Ji Wei kissed him, Tang Xuen wouldn't think about that at all.

The little pear soup is finished.

Ji Wei said, "Then I'll go home and rest."

Tang Xuen asked: "What about this little porcelain cup?"

When Ji Wei bought the soup, he bought the beautiful tableware together, and said casually, "You can keep it."

Tang Xuen held back and said, "Oh."

Seeing Ji Wei got up and left, Tang Xuen also stood up in a daze, getting used to it, and sent Ji Wei to the door.

When he crossed the threshold of the gate, he didn't react, and followed him out unconsciously like a puppy who is used to the person he likes.

He is familiar with the journey to send Ji Wei to the alley.

Tang Xuen slightly softened his cheeks.

The moon half-hids its face behind the fluffy cloud veil, and casts a lingering light and shadow on the stone pavement exposed to moss at night in the winding and slender alley.

In the silence and tranquility, the puppy who didn't know who called it barked a few times in a milky voice.

Tang Xuen was half a step behind, quietly raised his head, and looked at Ji Wei from the side and rear.

He couldn't see any difference, anyway, it seemed to be different.

The street lights on a short stretch of the road were broken and hadn't been repaired yet.

Ji Wei slowed down and walked on Tang Xuen's right, until he was in line with him.His left hand was hanging down by his side, swaying in a normal walking pace, and the back of his hand brushed against the back of Tang Xuen's.

It's like a dog's tail grass is scratching the tip of my heart.

Tang Xuen felt that the apex of his heart was being scratched, so he picked it up, wanted to withdraw his hand, but also doubted whether it was too deliberate, this may be an accident.

Just came across it.Well, two hits.Why did you touch it again?

He was about to withdraw his hand.

Ji Wei shook hands, and said solemnly: "It's dark ahead, you have to walk carefully, or you will fall."

Ji Wei spoke calmly, but his palms were hot and he was still sweating crazily.

Sweat dripped onto Tang Xuen's hands, and the temperature of his cheeks began to rise rapidly again, and his hands seemed to be burning hot. He whispered, "Then there's no need to hold hands, right? We're still men..."

Ji Wei said: "Didn't you say that we are good friends? We are still close friends. Of course close friends can hold hands."

Best friend is what he said was right.

The logic also seems to be right.

Tang Xuen couldn't refute, so he had to be led by Ji Wei silently.How would you describe this feeling?He felt like a puppy, he was playing happily on the side of the road, and when he passed by a person, he thought the puppy was cute, so he held him in his arms and stroked him.

Although it was a bit inexplicable why he hugged him suddenly, the puppy didn't find it annoying.

Ji Wei seems to be pushing an inch.

And pinch at the level that he just can accept.

When getting in the car, Ji Wei really wanted to coax Tang Xuen into it, especially when he let go.

Because Tang Xuen was standing by the car and looking at him with bright eyes, I don't know if he was being affectionate, but he always felt like he was saying: Take me with you.

But what he said to him was: "Be careful on the road."

Ji Wei replied: "Yes. Be careful when you go back."

Ji Wei didn't start the car right away.

Sitting in the driver's seat, watching Tang Xuen's back on the way back.

waiting.

Tang Xuen couldn't walk ten steps, then looked back at him, raised his hand and waved it.

Ji Wei raised the corner of his mouth involuntarily.

OK, that's enough.

In the past, Tang Xuen never looked back, but today he at least gave him an extra look.

It's been two days.

Tang Xuen received a call from Ji Wei's mother, cordially inviting him to attend her 52nd birthday.

Tang Xuen is familiar with Ji Wei, and of course he is also familiar with Ji Wei's family.

When he was in junior high school, he was invited to attend Ji Wei's birthday. When he went there, he found that he was the only friend in the seat. He was very shocked.

Ji Wei's mother is pretty and fashionable, and when she smiles, her eyes bend into crescent moons. When she sees him, she says, "I've heard that you are Xiao Wei's good friend!"

Ji Wei said to him privately: "My mother liked you very much the first time I saw you."

Judging from the enthusiasm of Ji Wei's mother, this statement is true.

But Tang Xuen himself didn't quite understand.

He is not very good-looking, his personality is not lively, his academic performance is mediocre, and his family background is even more mediocre.How could Ji Wei's mother like herself so much?

why?

During the two years when Ji Wei went abroad, Ji Wei's mother also took good care of him. She came to his shop twice, and sometimes she would help him out when he was in trouble.

Since Ji Wei came back, every year for Ms. Ji's birthday, Ji Wei would bring Tang Xuen with her.

Tang Xuen reciprocated, and respected her very much, and would cheerfully say yes, bring a gift, and come to the door to wish you a happy birthday.

This year is no exception, he agreed without saying a word.

That is, I don't know why, but I feel guilty anyway.

It was past five o'clock in the afternoon on the day of the birthday party.

Tang Xuen took Ji Wei's car and arrived at Ms. Ji's villa.

She retired a few years ago.

I moved into a villa in the suburbs, which is relatively quiet and has a large garden, but it is far away from the city.

The carved wrought iron gate of the garden opened, and Tang Xuen walked in along the cobblestone path.

Looking up from the floor-to-ceiling windows, you can see that there are not many people in the room. Apart from Ms. Ji, there are also Ji Wei's uncle, aunt, grandfather, cousins, cousins, nephews and nieces. This is Ji's family again. For the small birthday inside, one table was full, and he was the only outsider.

Tang Xuen's footsteps stopped for a moment, and he suddenly felt that he was so careless in the past. When Ji Wei brought him here before, why didn't he feel that he was an outsider?

Ji Wei asked: "What's wrong?"

Tang Xuen said, "...it's nothing."

As soon as he was brought in by Ji Wei, the birthday lady Ji who was surrounded by him heard the movement, raised his face, followed the prestige, and said with a smile on his face: "Xiao Tang, you can count yourself here, come here, come here."

"I recently bought a piece of emerald material, and made a few small pieces, and I also made one for you."

Tang Xuen was stunned: "Huh?"

Ms. Ji casually handed over a jade pendant made of glass Guanyin. Tang Xuen didn't dare to reach out to take it for a while, but Ji Wei who was beside him stretched out his hand generously.

Ms. Ji commanded, "Take it and put it on for Xiao Tang."
