Chapter 9
Climbing back to the ninth floor, Jiang Yi only took a few breaths, but Zhao Duobao obviously felt his legs go weak, and his breathing became much more rapid.
"You're really malnourished."
It's okay not to mention this word, but when Zhao Duobao mentioned it, he remembered Jiang Yi calling him a kid before, and now knowing that the other party was only a third-year student, he felt even more ashamed, so he sorted out the dishes he bought and didn't agree with him.
Jiang Yi pursed his lips, and took the daily necessities he bought into the bathroom. When he came out, Zhao Duobao had already entered the kitchen, wearing a newly bought apron, washing and chopping vegetables, with quick movements.
In 10 minutes, three dishes have been served, two dishes and one soup, one meat and one vegetarian, and they all look good.
"Okay." Jiang Yi twisted a piece of meat with his hand and threw it into his mouth, "It's not bad to rent with you."
Zhao Duobao was taking off the apron, "Don't eat it with your hands, it's unhygienic." Turning around to get the bowls and chopsticks, he suddenly froze in place, "Jiang Yi."
"Ok?"
"We didn't buy chopsticks."
"Hahahaha." Jiang Yi laughed loudly, "Okay, now you have to be good at eating."
"And there is no rice..." Zhao Duobao looked around the kitchen and saw a probably new rice cooker in the corner, and then remembered that the two of them had forgotten to buy rice.
"Fuck, forgot."
"How about I go down and buy some rice and cook it now, it shouldn't take long." Zhao Duobao walked to the door and prepared to put on his shoes.
"No, no need." Jiang Yi tugged at him, "I have a solution, and you still have the strength to carry rice? You are not bad at carrying rice." He took out his mobile phone and ordered a takeaway, beckoning to Zhao Duobao , "Okay, I ordered two sets of rice and tableware, now the problem is solved, you can come back and sit and wait."
"Oh, that's right, then go and make up the things tomorrow."
The dining table in the room was small, just enough for two people. Zhao Duobao and Jiang Yi sat down face to face. Picking up his mobile phone to check the progress of the takeaway, Zhao Duobao took the opportunity to ask "Where are you?" and had nothing else to say.
Zhao Duobao put his hands on his knees, two marks were pulled out of his trousers, his head buried in his chest, struggling to break the embarrassment, and was about to ask Jiang Yi what major he studied when the phone on the table rang.
"Hey, okay, you put it at the door."
After hanging up the phone, Jiang Yi pointed to Zhao Duobao in the direction of the door, "The takeaway is here, it's at the door."
Zhao Duobao bent his legs forward and was about to get up, but Jiang Yi pressed the back of his hand, "Wait a minute. Why are you so careless about safety, wait for him to walk away before opening the door."
"Oh, I've never ordered takeaway." Zhao Duobao sat back on the chair.
Jiang Yi looked at him in surprise, "Are you living on Mars? Are there still people who don't order takeaway?"
"too expensive."
Jiang Yi roughly understood how bad Zhao Duobao's family conditions were. He pursed his lips, got up and went to the door to get the takeaway, and the two finished their meal in suspense.
The house is decided today, Zhao Duobao hasn't had time to tidy up the things in his old residence, and it's not like Jiang Yi who is willing to spend money on it. After dinner, he said that he would go back and tidy up and come back tomorrow.
Jiang Yi didn't plan to sleep here tonight, he had to go back to school to get out useful things, so he went downstairs with Zhao Duobao, and the two went their separate ways after leaving the gate of the community.
The next day, Zhao Duobao dragged an old suitcase in one hand and a snakeskin bag in the other, and exhausted all his strength to climb up to the ninth floor. When he entered the room, he found that Jiang Yi was already there, and had already been separated from the living room. I put my things in the bedroom.
Zhao Duobao looked at him, and then at the serious bedroom, looking a little embarrassed.Jiang Yi seemed to see something, leaned against the door frame of his room, raised his chin towards him, "You sleep in that room."
"I..." Zhao Duobao was still holding on to the handle of the snakeskin bag, soaked in sweat and twisted into a ball, "Why don't we change it." To put it bluntly, he was just someone Jiang Yi hired as a partner, It's not just him, he can be anyone, there's no reason to be a good boy when he gets a cheap price, when he first signed the house, he planned to sleep in the partition, but he never expected to be snatched by Jiang Yi.
"What should I change? It's not difficult for me to clean up?"
"I'll help you…"
"Look at how dusty and dirty you are all over now, don't get my things dirty." Jiang Yi scolded him.
Zhao Duobao looked down at himself embarrassingly. It was indeed quite dirty, and it was no wonder that people disliked him. He put the bag and suitcase at the door, took off his coat, leaked his clean and tidy underwear, and slowly sorted out his things.
Except for the bedroom, everything else was put where it should be. Zhao Duobao hugged his four-piece bed suit, and hesitantly asked Jiang Yi who was reading, "You really don't sleep in the bedroom?"
Jiang Yi didn't raise his head, "There are two bedrooms in this house, which one is not sleeping? Why are you such a mother-in-law?"
"Oh." Zhao Duobao walked back to the unfurnished empty bedroom with his things in his arms, starting from making the bed and tidying up little by little. Jiang Yi put down the book in his hand and watched him walk into the room and start tidying up before resuming. Turn your gaze back to the book.
Zhao Duobao is obviously the kind of person who has a lot of life experience. He tidied up the room neatly and quickly. After a while, the room became clean and tidy, and he couldn't imagine how empty it was just now.
He walked into the living room with a thin layer of sweat on his forehead. Jiang Yi was still sitting on the sofa reading a book. Seeing him coming out, he consciously moved to the side to sit for him. I'm missing a lot of things, I'll go down and buy them, you bought them yesterday...you can cook when you get back..."
The word "home" is inexplicably pleasant to the ear, Jiang Yi looked up at him, and was silent for a few seconds, still in his usual teasing tone, "Why are you such a young wife, I really chose the right person to rent with you." He closed the book and put it back beside the sofa He stood up and put his arms around Zhao Duobao's neck, half-dragging him out, "Okay, let's go out to eat today, there are many delicious places around here."
“Eating out is too expensive.”
"I didn't ask you to pay again, so I invite you. Aren't you going to join Jiang Shuo Wang in a filming group? I'll give you a farewell farewell."
Zhao Duobao paused, "How do you know?"
Jiang Yi also froze, and said falteringly, "You don't care about me, you have to be a little bit skilled when you come out to make a living." Regardless of whether Zhao Duobao could keep up with him, he walked a long way. Just walking down, Zhao Duobao was dragged behind and stumbled all the way downstairs.
The restaurant for eating is near Jiang Yi's school. It's time for lunch. The business of the small shop is so hot that there's no room to sit in the shop. The boss put a few sets of tables and chairs in the open space in front of the shop. There are not many vacant seats left at the moment. Jiang Yi pulled Zhao Duobao to sit down at an empty table, picked up the menu paper on the table familiarly, looked back and forth, and handed it to Zhao Duobao, "What do you want to eat?"
"You can order, I can do it." Zhao Duobao didn't pick up the paper, but glanced at the price on it out of the corner of his eye.
Jiang Yi didn't bother to murmur, so he withdrew his hand and looked down at the menu, "What taboos do you have?"
"No."
"Spicy food?"
"I can eat a little."
"How about a hot and sour potato shreds, a chili fried meat, and an omelet?" Jiang Yi raised his head.
Zhao Duobao nodded, "Yes."
Jiang Yi gave a soft "hmm" and went to the cashier to order food.Zhao Duobao kept staring at Jiang Yi's figure, his heart was in a mess, and he lost his mind when he looked at it.
"Hey, what's wrong with you?"
When Jiang Yi came back, he saw Zhao Duobao staring straight ahead. He called out a few times but didn't respond. He stretched out his hand and waved it in front of his eyes for a few times before he made any movement.
"It's okay, I'm in a daze."
Jiang Yi glanced at him incredulously, let out a "tch", sat down and started playing with his phone.Zhao Duobao looked around, and accidentally glanced at Jiang Yi's phone screen. It should be someone's chat box, but the conversations on the screen were all sent from him, and the other party didn't respond.
Jiang Yi probably noticed that someone was watching, so he raised his head and stared at him vigilantly. Zhao Duobao turned his head away unnaturally. After a stalemate for a while, Jiang Yi lowered his head again, but this time he deliberately turned the phone away.
Zhao Duobao didn't bother to care about it, he didn't want to read it at first, he really wasn't interested in other people's private affairs.
Because of this little episode, they ate in silence for a meal. Compared with the chattering and laughing in twos and threes around them, the two of them were as quiet as strangers sharing a table.
On the way home, Jiang Yi had long legs and big strides, and he left Zhao Duobao behind in two or three steps. After eating enough, Zhao Duobao couldn't trot just to catch up with him, so he followed him not far away. .
Walking into the entrance of the corridor, Zhao Duobao stretched out a finger and poked Jiang Yi's shoulder, "I'll tell you how much the meal is today."
"No need." Jiang Yi's voice was a little muffled, "Yesterday, if you cooked, it was you who invited me. Today I will treat you."
"But……"
"Stop it, why are you always so long-winded."
Zhao Duobao stopped talking, only the panting of climbing stairs remained in the air.
