After returning home, Xie Yao put the dumplings on the table. He was distracted by Zhou Qiming's words, and almost forgot that he could actually refuse the dumplings.

But if he didn't accept the dumpling, what would Zhou Qiming do with it?Maybe it will be lost, or maybe I will take it back and solve it myself?But then, he immediately shook his head and asked himself why he was thinking about these meaningless things?

After putting down his things, Xie Yao went to the bathroom and decided to take a good bath. The recent incidents always put him in a situation where he didn't know how to face and solve it.Of course Xie Yao knew that if he refused thoroughly, Zhou Qiming probably wouldn't take any further action. He should have done so, but why did he hesitate.

But when the warm water flooded over his skin, he indulged in this warmth again and forgot to think. It was not until more than 20 minutes passed before Xie Yao came back to his senses, stood up and walked out of the bathtub, and stood up for himself.After hastily wiping off his body, he changed into pajamas.

After walking out of the bathroom again, Xie Yao came to the dining room and decided to make a cup of coffee for himself, but when he was about to go to the kitchen, his gaze involuntarily fell on the box of dumplings that he had left on the table.Just when he was not thinking about how to deal with it, his stomach growled before him.

This time, Xie Yao didn't continue to struggle any longer. He had already accepted the other party's kindness, so it was meaningless to think about refusing it now.So Xie Yao stepped forward and opened the bag in front of him. Only then did he find that there was not only a lunch box, but also a small box of sealed seasonings. In the seasonings, some floating red peppers could be clearly seen.On a pair of chopsticks.

The heat preservation function of the lunch box is not bad. When Xie Yao opened the lunch box, the dumplings were still steaming. He took out his chopsticks, picked one up, dipped some sauce into his mouth, but when he ate it, it was not so hot anymore..

But some cold dumplings still did not affect Xie Yao's judgment, and he still tasted the familiar taste in this dumpling.When Xie Yao first took it, he thought that Zhou Qiming bought it somewhere, but when he really tasted it, he was sure that Zhou Qiming made the dumplings himself.

Familiar tastes can always evoke memories of corresponding events, and this also makes Xie Yao inadvertently recall that the first time they ate dumplings made by Zhou Qiming was on New Year's Day in the first semester when the two met.

During the three days on New Year's Day, Zhou Qiming didn't go home because of his part-time job. He said that it would be troublesome to go back and forth, so it's better to go back during the New Year.But after all, New Year's Day is the holiday, and every family gets together, which inevitably makes Zhou Qiming feel lonely at home alone.

So in the last half an hour before the arrival of the new year, Xie Yao sneaked out from the side door of the house. When he appeared outside the old rental house where Zhou Qiming lived, the other party saidThe boss said he didn't believe it, thinking that Xie Yao was teasing him, but he went outside and opened the door very honestly.

Then he saw the thick Xie Yao standing outside the door, his face was a little red from the cold, he looked at him with a smile, and said to him: "Happy New Year's Day, Zhou Qiming".

The two stayed together that night and ate the dumplings made by Zhou Qiming in the afternoon. That was the first time Xie Yao knew that Zhou Qiming's cooking was delicious.

And Zhou Qiming also seemed to see his own thoughts, so after that, whenever he had time to cook delicious food, he would always call Xie Yao.

The beautiful days of the past flashed past his mind, and the clear images made Xie Yao dazed. For a moment, he wanted to reach out to touch those beautiful past, but he was quickly pulled back by the cold dumplings on his mouth.Reality.

After asking himself if he could pursue the pursuit, Xie Yao could find Zhou Qiming appearing outside his house and store every day when he went to and from get off work.

In fact, his place of work is not far from home, but Zhou Qiming still takes the trouble to show up on time every day. At first Xie Yao wanted to evade it, but after thinking about it, maybe it would not have any effect if he said it himself. Zhou QimingThere is always a reason.

And Zhou Qiming seemed to have sensed Xie Yao's thoughts, so after getting off work, he took the initiative to speak to Xie Yao.

"Will it bother you if I pick you up to and from get off work every day?"

Zhou Qiming was very gentle when he said this, as if he really wanted to know his own thoughts, but Xie Yao still couldn't answer.

Will it bother you?In fact, it is not very troublesome, but it is impossible to say that there is no impact.As the frequency of Zhou Qiming's appearance increased, some colleagues have always liked to tease Xie Yao recently, asking if the other party is his new date. Whenever this time, Xie Yao would always reply with "no", just listenIt sounds too light, far less convincing than coming to pick yourself up from get off work every day.

In fact, this did not cause too much impact on his life. It is even ridiculous that after Zhou Qiming appeared in front of him every day, he seemed to have gradually gotten used to this kind of life.

However, the relationship between the two did not heat up much because of this. Instead, it has always maintained this lukewarm situation. Xie Yao avoided it on purpose.It's like he would only pick Xie Yao up to and from get off work every day, and then when Xie Yao got off work, he would bring him a bouquet of the most beautiful flowers that day, and then send Xie Yao home, but he never took the initiative to askIn a word, he said he wanted to sit in Xie Yao's house for a while.

Even if he thought so in his heart, he never brought it up, because Xie Yao didn't take the initiative to mention it, that means he didn't allow it.Zhou Qiming is always curious about Xie Yao's new life. He is curious about what kind of life Xie Yao will live after leaving him, what kind of house he will live in, and what kind of expectations and hopes he has for the future.planning.

Xie Yao likes the sea so much, and the current season is just right, he wants to take Xie Yao to see the sea.With the daily companionship, he has gradually figured out Xie Yao's rest time, but he always holds that just right, and dare not go beyond half a step, so he has never brought up his thoughts.

And the turning point of the matter also fell on a typhoon day. Messages were sent out on TV and major media to remind people in Dongcheng how dangerous the typhoon was this time, and Xie Yao got a rest because of this time node,Basically all the shops outside have been closed for safety reasons, and the place where Xie Yao works is no exception.

At first, Xie Yao didn't care how dangerous the weather outside became, and the rainstorm without warning also fell.He hid in the house, turned on the lights everywhere in the house, and only then did he start to pay attention.

The news said that the typhoon this time is so rampant, and this situation will last for about three days.This also made Xie Yao rush to check in the refrigerator in the kitchen, but he happened to not go to the supermarket to stock up during these days, and the food left was actually not much, and it could not even last for three days.

Just when he was in trouble, Xie Yao heard his doorbell ring.He didn't pay attention at first, thinking that he had an auditory hallucination, but then, the doorbell rang again, reminding Xie Yao that all this was not an illusion.

But this time, Xie Yao walked to the screen of the video doorbell, and he clearly saw a person standing outside the door holding an umbrella and waiting.

Seeing the people outside the door, he didn't hesitate any longer. He held up the umbrella and pushed the door to the outside. The rain outside was really heavy. When the rain fell on the umbrella, Xie Yao even thought that he couldn't support the strong windrainstorm.

He walked quickly to the gate, opened it with some difficulty, and finally saw the person waiting outside the gate, it was Zhou Qiming.Although he was holding an umbrella, his clothes were still a little wet due to the heavy rain.

"What are you doing here?"

As if afraid that the other party might not hear clearly, Xie Yao couldn't help but raise his volume when speaking.

And Zhou Qiming did not answer him with words, but raised the bag in his hand a little higher.Only then did Xie Yao notice that Zhou Qiming was holding a large bag of things in his hand, which was wrapped in a plastic bag, but the outer layer was already wet a lot.

He didn't stop him anymore, but stretched out his other hand and took Zhou Qiming back home. When they reached the eaves of the house, the two put down their umbrellas, and there was a lot of rain on each of them. Zhou QimingThere is no avoidance, there are water droplets on the hair, looking a little embarrassed.

"Here to bring you something." When Zhou Qiming said this, he took out a handkerchief and wiped some water stains on his body, but it was obviously of no use. "I was afraid that you didn't have anything to eat at home, so I ran to.”

After he finished speaking, he handed the item to Xie Yao's hand, and said softly, "it's a bit heavy". After Xie Yao took it, he held up the umbrella again.

"Where are you going?"

Seeing the other party hold up the umbrella, Xie Yao couldn't hold back to stop him, and the other free hand stretched out to grab the other party's wrist.

But this time, it was Zhou Qiming's turn to be surprised. He turned his head and looked at the person in front of him, as if he never thought that Xie Yao would worry about him.It was only then that Xie Yao realized that his actions seemed a little nervous, so he withdrew his hand a little guilty, and couldn't help stuttering, "Today... the weather is too dangerous, you'd better stay at my house for a while."

Xie Yao didn't say how long "a while" was. After he finished speaking, he immediately turned around and opened the door of the house with his fingerprints, then picked up the bag and ran into the house.

Looking at the door left open for him, Zhou Qiming couldn't help laughing, but he quickly withdrew his smile, for fear that Xie Yao would think he was laughing at him when he saw him like this.

He followed Xie Yao obediently into the room, closed the door casually, then turned around and saw the person waiting for him at the entrance, Xie Yao dug out a new pair of slippers from the shoe cabinet and threw them in front of him.

"Just change it in, it's brand new." He specially emphasized.

"Okay," Zhou Qiming glanced at the brand new pair of shoes in front of him, then raised his head and said to the person who slipped away, "Thank you Yaoyao."

After the two of them tossed like this, they couldn't help getting a little wet. Xie Yao was worried about catching a cold, so he soaked two cups of Banlangen in hot water.

When handing Zhou Qiming another cup, he added "brand new". This time Zhou Qiming couldn't hold back, and turned his face away to secretly laugh, but Xie Yao still noticed it keenly.

Xie Yao blushed with embarrassment, but still didn't care too much about Zhou Qiming, he just said to take a shower after drinking and change the wet clothes on his body, otherwise he would be at risk of catching a cold, and Zhou Qiming just nodded.It's like saying what Xie Yao said, and he will do everything.

Xie Yao went to find a set of clothes for Zhou Qiming, then took him to the bathroom of the guest room, and briefly explained that everything was there, Zhou Qiming nodded to show that he understood.

Just when Xie Yao was about to leave to let Zhou Qiming take a bath, he seemed to suddenly think of something, so he suddenly turned around and said to him: "I almost forgot to tell you, this suit was worn by Xu Xinghuai once before, but mineYou can't wear it, so make do with it."

The clothes were indeed left by Xu Xinghuai who spent the night here before. It happened to be during the Chinese New Year. Xu Xinghuai came all the way to see him, saying that he still had work the next day so he couldn’t stay for too long.Guilt, but Xie Yao didn't care too much.

Xie Yao was also embarrassed to let the other party stay for only one night and toss back and forth. After all, he came to see him out of concern, and he was not good at being so troublesome, so he let Xu Xinghuai stay overnight.And this set of pajamas happened to be the one he went out to buy that day.

Hearing Xie Yao's words, the person with a smile on his face froze immediately, but he quickly regained his composure and said, "It's okay."

After he said this, Xie Yao left, closing the bathroom door for him before leaving.As soon as Xie Yao left, Zhou Qiming looked at the clothes in his hand, and put away the smile he maintained.

He almost forgot that Xie Yao and Xu Xinghuai still maintained a relationship, but he didn't expect that Xu Xinghuai didn't cherish Xie Yao at all, and was so blatant in front of Xie Yao.Thinking of this, Zhou Qiming's hand holding the clothes was a little bit harder.
