"If you need anything, you can always come to me downstairs."
The old man finally left these words.
…
Only the boy and Xiao Xiao were left in the room.
The boy suddenly felt a little embarrassed.
Since renting this house, Xiao Xiao and Grandpa Wang are the only two people who have come to the house.
Boys are very unfamiliar with how to entertain guests.
He recalled the TV plots he had seen and the plots in the books...
Should I give Xiao Xiao a cup of tea?
Then I realized there was no tea at home…
Which young man would have tea in his rental house -
Well.
All right.
He said it so absolutely
He is saying that in most young people’s rental houses, there will be drinks, milk, and beer...
But it is very rare that there will be tea.
…..
What about boiled water?
Boys are not sure.
But just standing like this, doing nothing, makes boys feel very uncomfortable.
The boys still go to the kitchen to pour water.
It turned out that the water in the thermos was cold.
Well……
When was the last time he boiled water?
The boy can't remember clearly.
…
"Do not bother."
Xiao Xiao seemed to see the boy's embarrassment, and he smiled slightly.
"You can pretend I don't exist."
"Or, I can come back later."
He came over at this time thinking that maybe the target he was looking for was in the boy's room.
He just searched around.
Not found.
Then, we have to wait until a specific point in time.
…
ah?
The boy was surprised.
In fact, he was very excited about this proposal.
But soon, he shook his head.
It's too rude to do this...
He also pointed out that the other party could solve his problem and save him from fire and water.
…
The boy smiled sheepishly.
"There is no hot water in the house."
"I'll boil a pot now."
"Fortunately, I ordered a drink."
The boy muttered.
At that time, I thought that when there are guests, I always have everything I need.
Drinks are a must for meals.
…
The boy stood in the kitchen waiting for the water to boil.
After Xiao Xiao asked for the boy's permission, he took a book from the boy's room and started reading.
…
The room was very quiet.
The only sounds were the gurgling sound of the kettle boiling water and the turning of pages in a book.
…
"Drink water."
The boy pushed a glass of water in front of Xiao Xiao.
The look on his face was a little awkward.
"There is no tea at home."
"Only boiled water is available."
"Freshly boiled water."
"very hot."
The boy reminded Xiao Xiao.
"Let it sit for a while and drink it after it cools down."
"...Drinks will be here shortly."
After thinking for a while, the boy added.
…
"Thanks."
Xiao Xiao's eyes moved from the water glass to the boy's face.
…
"You're welcome."
The boy breathed a sigh of relief.
…
The room fell into silence again.
The boy suddenly felt tormented.
Was he going to say something to break the silence?
Still not speaking?
He felt a little dissatisfied again.
Why is he the only one suffering?
Why should he speak to break the silence?
The young man did nothing.
Then he has done nothing.
…..
The boy sat down on the chair.
Silently looking at the cup in front of him.
Yes.
He also poured himself a glass of water.
…
The light fell into the water, creating a shallow glow.
…
The takeaway is finally here!
The moment he received the takeaway call, the boy felt as if he had received an amnesty.
…
"Xiao Xiao, let's eat."
While taking out the express delivery, the boy greeted the young man who was concentrating on reading.
The boy felt a little emotional in his heart.
In fact, when he first saw Xiao Xiao, he thought he had a good temperament.
Somewhat ancient.
I thought it was just an illusion.
But judging from the way the other person was concentrating on reading just now, it turns out that he seemed to have a bit of a poetic and bookish demeanor.
The other party should be from a good family background.
The boy came to this conclusion again.
The speculation that this young man is not a liar has become more and more certain.
…
The meal was also very quiet.
…
Boys tell themselves: Eat without talking and sleep without talking.
Um.
That's right.
…
"Why."
The boy suddenly realized a problem.
"Are you staying at my place tonight?!"
…
Xiao Xiao raised his eyebrows slightly.
"I can't live without it."
…
"No, it's not..."
Afterwards, he realized that his words seemed to be misleading, and the boy hurriedly waved his hand to explain.
"I'm just curious."
"That sound always comes when I'm sleeping."
"That's night."
"It will be very late if you stay there by then."
"You have to live here with me..."
The boy's voice became softer and softer.
What is he saying…...
The boy touched his neck uncomfortably, "You stay at my place tonight."
"I have a bed here."
"Just bring out a quilt-oh, blanket."
Now that the weather is hot, the requirements for beds are not as high as in winter.
It's a bit more troublesome in winter.
…
The boys started to get busy.
He helped Xiao Xiao make the bed for the night.
…
"Thanks."
Xiao Xiao smiled.
…
"No, you're welcome."
The boy cleared his throat.
People came to help him, and besides, this is the basic way of hospitality.
…
Xiao Xiao asked the man to go to bed early and rest.
…
The man nodded.
He goes to bed.
Just looking at Xiao Xiao standing in his room, the man really couldn't lie down.
Honestly, sleeping in front of strangers...
The psychological burden is really heavy.
Most people can't do this casually, right?
At least, his heart is not that big.
…
The boy froze.
what to do?
He was too embarrassed to tell anyone...
Because of a less familiar-
In fact, even if it was his parents, he imagined it and found that he couldn't calmly accept them watching him sleep.
Too strange.
Both parents are like this.
How much more a stranger?
…
The boys were a little at a loss.
…
Xiao Xiao's eyebrows are slightly curved.
"I was out."
"Call me if you hear a sound."
…
Xiao Xiao turned around and walked out of the boy's bedroom.
He even closed the door thoughtfully.
…
The boy felt a conflicting feeling of relief and becoming more embarrassed.
Will the other party think that he is particularly troublesome and... pretentious?
…
The boy sat on the bed and was lost in thought for a while.
Then he thought of something and immediately lay down.
I accidentally hit my head on the wall.
The boy had a grin on his face.
…
Before, or rather when Xiao Xiao was away, the boy wanted that voice to disappear from his life.
But only at this moment, he hoped that voice would appear as soon as possible.
He could immediately tell Xiao Xiao who was waiting for his news.
…
There were a lot of messy thoughts in his mind. On the one hand, the boy imagined that Xiao Xiao could solve his problem very well, on the other hand...
Boys tell themselves rationally or pessimistically that today is likely to be another day of wasted effort.
