go the same way

Chapter 15

After leaving the old community, Nie Xunqiu returned home.

The two adjacent houses are both in Dr. Jiang's name, and she will transfer back immediately after Nie Xunqiu's time conditions are met. She doesn't have the key in her hand, and there is no need to worry that she will take the two properties privately.

Nie Xunqiu is not someone who cares about these things, he has always been a lone boat on the big river, drifting with the current, he doesn't care if there is a place to stop.

There is a noodle shop near the residence that has been open for many years. In the previous life, he and Li Pei went to eat together.

Nie Xunqiu sat in the store and chose a seat facing the glass door. After ordering, he glanced outside and found that the small Sichuan restaurant that Li Pei took him to was diagonally opposite.When it was time for dinner, it was already very lively there, and the proprietress could be seen shuttled between the tables from a distance, and there were a few shouts with local accents.

He obviously walked such a long distance with him, but he couldn't even remember anything along the way.

He thought he was walking behind Li Pei, but now that he thought about it, he was the one who walked with his head high and didn't ask what was ahead.

Nie Xunqiu ordered the shop's signboard, and the beef noodles came quickly. The soup was clear without any oil stars floating on it. The bowl was filled with finely boiled lye noodles, and large chunks of beef that had been stewed for hours in advance were poured on top. It looks soft and rotten enough, and a small chopstick of coriander will add flavor and freshness.

The first time he ate this bowl of noodles was in winter. He went to pick up Li Pei who had finished his dinner. The man drank three rounds in the warm box. When he came out, he didn’t know where his coat was. A thin turtleneck sweater was left on him, and he stood shivering by the side of the road, his cheeks blushing.

He didn't expect such a situation, there was no extra clothes in the car, so he took off his coat and gave it to Li Pei.

"Well, it's not warm." Li Pei put on Cunhe clothes, a baggy one, barely covering the stitches of the sweater.

With distaste on his lips, but talking is better than nothing, he tightened his coat tightly, and unconsciously sniffed it, trying to catch some other smell from it.

In fact, only the smell of alcohol on his body, but he still felt at ease.

He took a nap in the car, and when he was about to get off the car, he said that he was only interested in drinking and didn't eat a bite of food, and said softly, "I'll make you a supper."

"I don't want to eat what you made today, let's find something to eat."

He rubbed his hands together, the tip of his nose was red from the cold, and he curled up like a cat with narrowed eyes and shivering from the cold.

In terms of size and fitness, I have always maintained a body fat percentage that will not be too low, and I am not afraid of cold or hot.Li Pei leaned close to him, as if approaching a source of fire, stretched out his cold hand to hold that hand.

People in their 30s have rough hands beyond this age, full of calluses and scars.To use an analogy, Li Pei's hands are like white jade that has been polished for a long time, while Cun He's hands are sandstones that have been eroded by wind and rain.

It's just a pull, but it's like an electric current is passed through, and it makes people's palms slightly hot.

Li Pei trembled, held Cun He's hand even tighter, and muttered in a low voice: "Did you secretly bring a small stove?"

After eating a bowl of hot beef noodles in the store, the redness on the tip of Li Pei's nose dissipated. When he left, the street was very quiet, and there was no one around, only them walking leisurely.

"Is it warm?" Cun He asked.

"It's better," Li Pei licked his lips, the wine was mostly sober, "but it's still cold."

Just as he was talking, one shadow hesitated, it approached the other, and finally merged together, the two shadows joined together, with a slight ups and downs.Li Pei put Cun He's hand on his shoulder, as if being pulled into his arms.

The warmer hand slipped into Cun He's other sleeve, and the skin he touched was finally not so rough, and no scars could be found.

Feeling the fingers in the sleeves moving gently, feeling the temperature inside, Li Pei's slightly disheveled hair brushed against Cun He's cheeks, a little itchy, but he couldn't move his hands to scratch.Like two spring foxtails, scratching the tip of his heart.

Afterwards, Li Pei often worked overtime until very late, and whenever he didn't want to wait for Cunhe to go back to prepare, he would come to this restaurant to eat.The signboard does have the capital to be a signboard, but except for this bowl of beef noodles, everything else tastes mediocre. Li Pei always wants to try something new, and he orders others with the idea that it might be delicious, but the result is often that the leftover noodles are all delicious. When I arrived at Cunhe.

Cunhe would never refuse, and they would silently pick and finish their meal. Although they didn't say anything, they also agreed in their hearts that what Li Pei said was not delicious.

Nie Xunqiu held the pair of chopsticks. In the past, the first pair of chopsticks was often passed to Li Pei. Now he has used it for many years, but he still can't change his habit.

After Nie Xunqiu ate the noodles, his body, which had not rested for dozens of hours, felt dull and tired, complaining about the need for sleep.

He had two keys to the house, but he didn't need to choose. Nie Xunqiu got the key and used the one that Li Pei had given him.

The house has everything, exactly the same as before, but without the inhabitant.

Nie Xunqiu wanted to take a bath, he went into the bathroom to check, there was nothing else on the washstand, Li Pei cleaned up the house and erased all the traces left, so that people would not feel that there is nothing else on the sink. There are people who go out, and there is a return date.

So he held his eyelids and went to the mall to buy some necessities for the empty house.

When buying shampoo, he was dazzled by the various brands on the shelf, and finally his gaze stopped in a corner, and he found that it was the shampoo that Li Pei had used for him.

In my impression, it is an American brand with a faint citrus flavor and subtle sweetness.

He has no pursuit of life, so he will use whatever Li Pei gives him. After recognizing the purpose, he usually doesn't read the ingredients and effects written on the back, so he doesn't pay attention until he uses up the whole bottle and washes his hair once. Know that you have to shake it twice before use to shake the viscous liquid inside.

The thing that is poured directly into the palm of the hand is transparent, and it will turn milky white after shaking twice, and the washing will be cleaner.

Li Pei's long hair grew gradually, and was trimmed occasionally during the six years, and most of the time it was tied casually behind his head, and there were no fancy hair accessories, only a very ordinary black rubber band.

The rubber bands kept disappearing, and Li Pei was annoyed by looking for them over and over again, so he simply asked Cunhe to buy a big box, until the year he left, there were still a lot left.

When the hair is not so obstructive, such as making love, Li Pei will let down the hair, like a silk satin soaked in thick ink, sweat seeps from the neck and back, wets those hairs, and leaves a scarf on the snow-white back. landscape.

Cunhe is not a greedy person, seeing such a clear back, he became a little reckless and lost his sense of propriety.

He had never touched such long hair before, and he didn't know what to do. Both of them were drenched in hot water. Seeing him go to get shampoo, Li Pei raised his eyelids and said with a smile: " Have you always used it like this?"

Cun He nodded: "The previous one has been used up, I'm going to buy a new one."

"You have such a little hair, how long does it take you to use it up?" Li Pei laughed at him, but unfortunately it involved muscles, and his back was so sore, "Do you know that you need to shake it before using it?"

As he spoke, he took the bottle of shampoo from Cunhe's hand, shook it up and down, and the thing poured out was indeed different from before.

With an inch face and a face of ice cubes, it was rare to show any other expressions, Li Pei couldn't help laughing, and then instructed the idiot to continue washing his hair.

The water soaked the shirt and pants, and the two of them were warm in the citrus-scented foam.

Nie Xunqiu looked carefully at the small print on the back of the shampoo, and seemed to see him and Li Pei at that time again, their relationship was ambiguous and absurd.When he saw himself in the memory, it was true that he couldn't express emotions on his face, but he didn't want to.

Especially, after seeing Li Pei's bright smile, that person's expression was...

Yes……

Are you laughing?

Nie Xunqiu woke up from the trance, as if he could not stand still.The thing in his hand was only soft white, but it seemed to burst into a harsh light, making his eyes sore.

Such a simple thing, but as if he was seeking the way asceticly, made him think about it for so many years.

He loves Li Pei.
