go the same way

Chapter 14

The gurgling water spilled over the rim of the bowl and escaped with the cherries.

Nie Xunqiu hastily turned off the water and picked up the small fruit that fell into the pond, so as to relieve the anxiety in his heart.

"you're awake."

Waking up from deep sleep, waking up from that cherry-sweet dream of the past.

He said: "Your brother said you were sick, and asked Dr. Jiang to come over, but she couldn't leave. I have nothing else to do, so I came to see how you are... It looks much better than before."

While talking, Nie Xunqiu picked all the cherries, let them go through the water twice quickly, and put them aside.He carefully lifted the lid of the steamer. After the fragrant white steam dissipated, a bowl of golden custard sat quietly in the steamer. ripple.

"You said you were hungry before, and I went out to buy something. Steamed eggs are the fastest, and you can eat them with a small spoonful of soy sauce. Let them dry for a while, fill your stomach first, and then I will make other things for you." Nie Xunqiu With deft hands and feet, he picked out a spoon and poked it into the smooth and soft custard. The ratio of egg liquid to water was really good, and the steaming time was just right. Judging from the appearance alone, the craftsmanship can definitely be called exquisite.

Li Pei watched him busy in front of the stove without saying a word, glanced at the bowl of tender red cherries and the fragrant custard in Nie Xunqiu's hand, and said, "Don't rush to do anything else. "

Nie Xunqiu paused.

Li Pei walked to the kitchen counter, where there was a pack of vegetables that Nie Xunqiu bought and hadn't had time to put in the refrigerator.

It's not early, and the vegetables in the farmer's market have missed the freshest early morning, so the quantity is not much.Li Pei took out the small packages one by one, lined them up, put them on the table, and read their names in a low voice.

The sound of breathing rubbed against the air, and Li Pei moved very slowly, as if he was displaying evidence for a verdict.

Without his taboos, he avoided the things he didn't like to eat, and the vegetables he bought were at least barely acceptable seasonal vegetables.

Once the habit is written into the mind, it is difficult to erase, even if deliberately, but still worry that the other party will not like it.

Just like Nie Xunqiu knew his preference and the basket of cherries that summer.

Li Pei put back the things he took out one by one: "At first I thought I had a dream, but I didn't expect to be stupid again."

His tone was very light, but it was hard to hide the self-mockery in it.

Nie Xunqiu heard Li Pei digging words into his heart heavily.

"You're lying to me again, Cunhe."

Inch and.

It's really been many years since no one called himself that.

Hearing this distant and unfamiliar address, Nie Xunqiu's heart felt as if someone was clenched, and he flew back many years ago with it. The person standing here now is just a branched shell.

He had fantasized about the scene countless times, and when it finally came to the fore, he let out a long sigh of relief.

Once a lie is spread, the complete circle seems to be torn for a section, and the addition of a stroke is also deviation and abrupt. Even if you draw countless strokes, it will not help.He knew the consequences, but he still lied to Li Pei.

Blame him for being too greedy, still wanting to possess that person.

Li Pei said: "How much do you remember? Do you remember that you killed my brother, pretended nothing happened, and lived beside me majestically, living under the same roof. Kissing, making|making love, sharing the same bed with me Pillow... Also, do you remember that you wanted to kill me with your own hands?"

Nie Xunqiu was dumbfounded, with a stick in his throat: "Xiao Pei..."

"You recognized me from the very beginning, right? You see, I'm so afraid of you, don't you feel very satisfied?" The red on Li Pei's face has faded, leaving only paleness, his voice trembling more and more , "In fact, I gave you everything, and I don't want to take it back."

It's too much, and I can't put it down when I take it back.

"Yes, I knew you recognized me from the first moment I saw you." Nie Xunqiu was at a loss, so he had to lean on the kitchen counter, and he calmed himself down, "I dare not, Xiaopei, to hide that it wasn't me." The original intention. As 'Cunhe', I have caused a lot of harm to you and your family, everything I have done, an apology can not make up, so I think 'Nie Xunqiu' can communicate with you normally, At least bring my apology to you."

He doesn't know right or wrong, he only knows how to follow orders.

Many, many simple things, but it took him a long time to experience, learn, and understand.

The price is losing the person forever.

"I don't accept it, and I don't need it. No matter what you do, what happened can't be changed. Now that I can see my brother again, it is a gift I bought with my life." Li Pei opened his eyes wide, tears falling straight down , "So what else do you want from me?"

He spread out his hands, as if he was being looked at by others, like a commodity tied and wrapped with a ribbon.

This Li Pei is very young and beautiful.There is no alcoholism, no dependence on sleeping pills, and no worries are planted deep in my heart.Even if you don't have a deep understanding of his lonely and tough soul, you will still be attracted and fascinated by him.

When Nie Xunqiu saw his empty hands and two clear tears on his cheeks, he slowly realized what Li Pei said just now.

He literally gave everything away.

It's because I didn't collect it well.

"It's a gift to you, and it's also a gift to me. I don't want to take anything from you, but to give. Xiao Pei, I was not a good person before, not even one," Nie Xunqiu paused For a moment, I don't know how to express it, "Normal people, emotions, sorrows and joys, conscience and pity, I don't understand, but I have learned."

These things should be innate, not to mention learning.

Li Pei didn't understand what Nie Xunqiu was talking about. He just felt tired, so he withdrew his hands, took the bowl of egg custard away, pulled out the chair, sat on the dining table, and began to eat slowly.

The temperature of the bowl has dropped, and it won't be hot when holding it, but the contents are still a bit overheated. The first bite was scalded, and he didn't have much reaction, and swallowed it quickly.When I scooped up the second spoonful, I blew it lightly. The tip of my tongue was scalded, so I couldn't taste the taste right away. I only knew that the taste was really good.

It was like this in the past, Cunhe would learn what he wanted to eat, and the food he made was always more attractive than the photos in the recipe.

After a long time, Cunhe has developed a good cooking skill, but he himself has been so spoiled that he can't do anything.

Let's learn, Li Pei thought.

After all, it takes a long time to live alone.

Li Pei showed his back to Nie Xunqiu. From his angle, he could see that the elbow he was accustomed to used was bent, and he brought the spoon to his mouth unhurriedly, and concentrated on eating.He seemed transparent, Li Pei didn't speak, but Nie Xunqiu knew he was driving him away.

He finally went out, changed his shoes at the entrance, and put back the slippers that Li Pei had found for him before.

"I'm leaving first, take a good rest, Xiao Pei."

The volume was moderate, the departure was quick, and the door was only closed to the point where the lock was put on. Li Pei didn't seem to hear it. The iron spoon and the porcelain bowl collided with each other, making a tinkling sound. Some light soy sauce-colored soup.

He got up and went into the kitchen, took some water to soak the bowl, and turned his eyes to the bowl of cherries.

Most of the wild cherries in the early season are sour, but Li Pei still likes to let Cunhe buy them back.

He likes the surprise of accidentally tasting sweetness after eating a lot of sour food.

Li Pei took a cherry casually, and the water droplets on the bowl of cherries had evaporated, and when he put it in his mouth, something wet got stuck from nowhere.

Why is it so salty?
