summer flowers will bloom

Chapter 12

Li Zhen didn't quite understand why he felt a desire to protect an uncle he picked up from the street.

It may be because this man is really lonely, and the wavelength of this loneliness happens to be received by him.And he doesn't like to see other people's loneliness. In his eyes, there is really nothing more pitiful than loneliness.

Loneliness is not a number but a state.You can live a full life by being alone. A lonely person is like being locked in a single cell in a sea of ​​people.

Qiu Yubai's loneliness is the worst kind. Not only is he imprisoned alone psychologically, but objectively he is alone.

When you have family, friends, and a partner, even if these people will annoy you from time to time, they will make some moths at every turn to make you dumbfounded, and even "call you to wipe your ass after shitting", so that you get offended Trouble thrown to you to solve.But it's a cheap, fulfilling feeling of having something to do, being needed, being asked for.This kind of life, no matter how poor, no matter how hard, no matter how hard, has a great value.

People, that’s how it is. There is no unbearable suffering, only unbearable blessings. You can be so rich that you can live alone in a courtyard house, or one that is so decorated that you can take photos for international architectural design magazines. Planting a courtyard house, you can take advantage of three sports cars, two cats, and a good skin, but only when no one needs you, only when no one is willing to care about you or even harass you, then your value, and what is it then?

The string of "0"s on the bank card?

No, that's not your value.

That's just your price.

And no matter how high their social status is, a lonely person is also shamefully poor.

"Tonight's loneliness makes me so beautiful"?That's just the lyrics, you can be alone all night, really lonely every night, people will go crazy and despair.

Qiu Yubai doesn't have half a friend who will be careless and insists on asking him to help with errands, and will roll up his sleeves to help him when he has something to do. There isn't half a friend who may not have a high IQ and EQ, but can instantly detect his abnormality and break the casserole. A confidant, let alone support him sincerely, help him scold others, remember his birthday, remember each other's every anniversary, even if it's just a straw rabbit to fool his lover.

He was so lonely that he couldn't be more lonely.

Maybe he can try to make some friends with sincerity, try to let go of his reserve and have a good relationship, even if he just calls his parents who are far away abroad to talk about the depression in his heart... But he doesn't want to, he has a kind The most proud and expensive cat has the smelly airs. He doesn't want anyone to see his fragility and softness. He has always used "one person, one world, and all beings are lonely" to keep a distance from everyone.Yes, it’s true that one person has one world, but his world is open, or at most has a fence and a fence. His world is surrounded by high walls entwined with thorns and moats filled with lava. .

Well, you are not alone, who is lonely?

It may be that when a person reaches a certain extreme, there should be a nemesis or a savior. Sometimes, the nemesis is also a savior.A person can have opposite dual identities, and this person is Li Zhen.

That night, he didn't leave.

He cooked a pot of minced chicken and vegetable porridge for Qiu Yubai.

It's almost like a joke to say it. He actually cooks porridge for a person he just met? !

"Have you had dinner today?" He asked looking at the man lying motionless on the sofa.

"Just... I ate a banana in the morning." Shaking his head, Qiu Yubai replied.

"Then this is not a reminder." It was as if he was mourning a child's misfortune and angering him. Li Zhen murmured while thinking, "You have to eat. If you have a gallbladder, you can't eat foods high in fat and cholesterol. Clear Porridge and side dishes are the first choice, hey, do you like carrot porridge?"

"Carrots are rabbit food."

"Then... cabbage porridge?"

"I'm not from the old society."

"You can also add ingredients, seaweed, fungus, walnut kernels, etc. I remember that walnut kernels can be eaten. If you like sweet and sour food, you can add some ebony or hawthorn slices."

"Don't eat! I want to eat meat!"

"Isn't it the rhythm of death to focus on eating meat at this juncture? Unless it's pure lean meat, put some chicken breasts in the porridge..."

"firewood."

"Then, sashimi porridge is always okay, right?"

"It's all porridge? Are you from Chaoshan?!" Qiu Yubai turned over and sat up, staring at the innocent Li Zhen for a moment, then buried her face in her knees in frustration, "Forget my mistake, I'll tell you again Once I apologize, I shouldn't have run a red light, almost ran into someone, and still disturbed me unreasonably, okay? Let's go..."

There was also silence for a while, Li Zhen didn't speak, just stood up, and went to the luxurious but hardly used big kitchen.

Opening the refrigerator door, he looked at the empty freezer, um, he still eats meat, where do you get meat here?Looking at the upper floor, there is a bag of vacuum instant chicken thrown away. After looking at the brand and related instructions, it turns out that it is an expensive food without additives, so this one can be used.Looking at the other floor, there is also a package of mixed vegetables for American salad, including green beans, corn kernels and carrots. Look at the date, it is still within the edible range, open it and smell it, and there is no bad smell. Put it in the sink and continue to rummage.

M, yes, very good.There is a pot, although it is not a casserole, but it is good if it can be used.I couldn't find the onion and ginger, forget it, a little flavor won't kill me, as long as there is salt.

With all the ingredients together, Li Zhen began to wash rice and boil water to cook porridge.

On the sofa, Qiu Yubai was watching a circus.

What is this...

This kid doesn't treat himself as an outsider too much, does he? !He thought he was at home?Did he think that the man who bumped into him on the road was from his family? !

Is this a man's maternal instinct or a doctor's professional conscience at work?Then can these two elements stop for a while and stop making troubles for JB! !

but……

The inner world is yelling, when I really watch someone busy in my kitchen, I really see the steam in the pot, I really hear the sound of the collision of knives and cutting boards, I really smell the aroma of food... Qiu Yubai surrendered up.

He said he was surrendering to hunger.

But if you really want to say it, everyone understands that hunger is just an excuse and the most superficial reason.He couldn't drive Li Zhen away because the family was full of popularity and fireworks.

God... How long, how many years, has he not experienced this fullness...

The porridge is finally on the table.

Li Zhen served him a bowl, set the spoons, and beckoned.

Qiu Yubai stood up, walked over, sat down, and did not speak for a while.

"Eat it while it's hot. It's best not to eat cold food for patients with gallbladder removal."

"...There are carrots." Qiu Yubai looked at the orange mixed between green and white in the bowl, and muttered.

"Eat with eyes closed." Li Zhen rebuffed flatly, while thinking to himself that if he had children, he would have to discipline them like this and never be picky eaters.

Qiu Yubai, who had never been directly ordered like this before, silently picked up the spoon and took a sip of porridge with a very subtle emotion.

After a few seconds, he felt as if all his limbs were being rolled by a hot current, exuding a kind of comfort as if he had ascended to heaven.

"You...don't you eat?" Restraining his emotions, he asked Li Zhen.

"No, I've already had supper." The young man pulled a chair and sat down, took out his mobile phone, and was about to play a game. When he just entered the game interface, he added, "Oh, by the way, my name is Li Zhen, Muzi Li, Zhenzhi’s Zhen is the Zhizhi on the left, and Qin from Qin on the right.”

"I don't care what your name is... After you say your name, it's like making a deal, right?"

"What do you mean by 'require'? We have already dealt with each other. Do you think you can escape without declaring your house?" Looking at the screen of the mobile phone, his mouth was scornful of the other party's words. Zhen, Qiu Yubai, who thought he was vicious enough, didn't refute a word for a while, and the two fell into their respective silences. There was a dining table, two people facing each other, and on the other side was the little girl who was drinking porridge. It was ringing, and there was the electronic sound of playing games on one side. It was not until about ten minutes later that the one who drank the porridge put down his spoon, looked at the one who was playing games, and opened his mouth somewhat reluctantly.

"Autumn feathers are white, autumn is autumn, feathers are feathers, white is white."

In a deep and gentle voice with a little softness and weakness, he said that in a tone that seemed helpless but actually unbearable.

After the voice fell, those who drank porridge continued to drink porridge, and those who played games said "oh", reflected on which words the name was composed of, and then focused on the game interface again. After a while, the latter didn't know Why, while fighting in the game, slowly raised the corners of his mouth uncontrollably.
