unspeakable ice

Chapter 82

"Since Brother Xiaolong accepted it, won't you go back to have a meal with me?" Xia Cong looked at him, tilted his head slightly, and asked half jokingly and half seriously.

Yu Xiaolong's eyes fell on the pile of chocolates. The outer packaging was different from the last time when it was packed in a box that was filled with villainous heads. This time it was very simple, with only a few red stripes on the pure black background.

If the size and shape were not exactly the same as those received before, Yu Xiaolong would have thought it was a purchase. He looked at the stripes carefully, and found that the thickness was not the same, so it should not be mass-produced.

Xia Cong was able to grasp the scale without adding any fancy things, and forcibly copied everything as it was in the past. Like a hunter with insight into people's hearts, he took care of Yu Xiaolong's feelings and calmly planned his plans.

Yu Xiaolong didn't look at him, and twisted one to his fingertips, "New?"

"Yeah, the previous you were put in the refrigerator, and they all expired." Xia Cong said in a somewhat responsibly tone, "I gave you to eat, not to look at, what to leave to me intact mean?"

Hearing this question, Yu Xiaolong had no expression on his face, the chocolate was constantly turning over at his fingertips, Xia Cong was a little unsure what he meant, it didn't look like he was going to return it to him, but he also seemed to confiscate it.

Xia Cong held the back of his hand, closed his palm for him, and maintained the posture for four or five seconds. After making sure that Yu Xiaolong would not let go, he let go, "I'll take you back."

"No need." Just as Yu Xiaolong finished speaking, the rain stars that were floating a second ago suddenly grew louder.

"Flying so far, at least let me stay with you for a while." Xia Cong showed him the time, "It's less than five minutes."

He caught a glimpse of Yu Xiaolong's boat next to him, and at first he was worried that he was going to throw it away, because it would rain heavily, but gradually he realized that the plastic film wrapped outside might not be a "shroud", but a rain shield use.

Ever since Yu Xiaolong really threw away the ring, Xia Cong began to admit that he is also unpredictable, especially at this time, it is cruel to ask him to be rational, so many decisions are often made on the fly.

Without urging him, he waited quietly for a while, until he saw Yu Xiaolong put his hand back into his pocket.

Xia Cong exhaled, and the corners of his lips curled imperceptibly, "Let's go, we'll get wet in a while."

Yu Xiaolong got up, Xia Cong took the boat for him, Shi Jie sent a message at this time, asking him where he was, he didn't expect the rain to fall so fast before going out, if he didn't get a taxi, he would come back first, or he Go and bring him an umbrella.

[on the way. 】Yu Xiaolong returns.

【That's good. 】 Shi Jie said.

Just before Yu Xiaolong got into the car, Shi Jie sent him three more messages in succession.

Shi Jie: [Don't think I'm long-winded, I'm the only sober person around you now, and I'm not trying to put pressure on you to listen to me. Is he a good person? 】

Shi Jie: [In short, after you think about it, you have to make sure that you two are still alive, then try again. If you want to be the same as before, every day counts. If there is no tomorrow, I advise you not to suffer this crime as soon as possible. 】

Shi Jie: [Also, if you don't want to, just say it, no one can force you, if he dares to come again next time, and haunts you like this, I don't care what rich young master he is, just cut off his leg , kind of let him try. 】

"..." Yu Xiaolong imagined that Shi Jie had been brewing for so long over there, and then typed so many words with gentle words and vicious words. He replied with a hmm, indicating that he understood, and put away the phone.

"What's the matter?" Xia Cong glanced at him, and caught Yu Xiaolong's faint smile that flickered across his mouth.

"It's nothing."

Xia Cong didn't speak, and then smiled. Compared with Yu Xiaolong's introvertedness, he seemed to be more blatant, because when he drove out from Bar Street, he didn't send him home as he said, but turned around and headed in another direction go.

"Where are you going?" Yu Xiaolong asked.

"Have you had dinner yet?" 07:30, a time that is neither awkward nor embarrassing, the plane was late and should have been able to catch up.

Xia Cong wasn't sure if he had already eaten it. He waited for a while, but Yu Xiaolong didn't make a sound, so there was a high probability that he hadn't.

"Come and have a meal with me, I didn't eat on the plane, I'm hungry till now." Xia Cong arranged to himself, "Go to the supermarket first."

Yu Xiaolong has already come up, if he asked him to let him go at this time, he would have to entangle him again, and he guessed that Xia Cong's behavior of changing his mind temporarily and making progress was not beyond his expectations of this person.

It's not too much to ask, but if he is really hungry, the most important thing he should do is to find a restaurant instead of going to the supermarket. Yu Xiaolong looked at the swinging windshield wiper in front of him, and didn't expose him.

Big supermarkets are only available in the city, and it was past eight o'clock when it opened there. Xia Cong parked the car, and Yu Xiaolong followed. Life around the university town is quite convenient, so they only came to this place once or twice before.

After taking the elevator up, Xia Cong pushed the car at the door, and Yu Xiaolong once again felt that he was not hungry at all, so he walked slowly, walking around, stopping at almost every shelf.

The same is true for the things I bought, besides food, there are also many daily necessities, like a person who has just arrived in a new place and started buying a house from scratch.

It could be seen that Xia Cong was in a good mood. Yu Xiaolong didn't know if he bought so much because he really needed these things, or if he was just delaying time.

He looked at the melon seeds, peanuts, and all kinds of candies that are rarely seen, and when Xia Cong stopped in front of the shelf selling couplets, he grabbed the trolley, "When are you going to buy it?"

Yu Xiaolong obviously lost his patience, and Xia Cong accepted it as soon as he saw it, "I haven't come out with you for a long time, so I accidentally bought more."

He smiled, "Go checkout."

Loading things into the car, on the way back, Xia Cong looked to both sides of the road from time to time, when he passed a shop selling fireworks, he stopped and asked Yu Xiaolong to wait for him in the car for a while.

It will be more than ten minutes before I come back again, it should be bought, Yu Xiaolong saw that he left an address for the store.

When Xia Cong got into the car, he carried a plastic bag in his hand, which contained a few rolls of things. It seemed that he finally bought the Spring Festival couplets.

Xia Cong should have had someone clean the house in the university city beforehand, and there were not many conspicuous traces left here in two years. In the past, when standing outside the door at the same time, Xia Cong always pushed the door first, making Yu Xiaolong a little dazed .

He never thought that he would step here again.

At this moment, his thoughts may be a little chaotic, with complexities that he can't figure out, but because he walked in by himself, many decisions don't want to delve into the meaning, just like the chocolate that was twirled between his fingertips and finally entered his pocket.

Xia Cong put down his things, and before entering the kitchen, he casually gave Yu Xiaolong a muffin cake, "Stuff your stomach first, and the meal will be ready soon."

The rain outside gradually subsided, and the sound of hitting the windowpane was like fine sand, and the doors of the bedroom and study were both open.

It may be that the experience of the next three months has diluted the memories left here at the beginning, and the untouched furnishings that accidentally hit his eyes gave him a sense of strangeness.

Yu Xiaolong didn't go in. He walked to the window and looked down at the sea of ​​lights in the distance from clear to gradually blurred in the rain. There was music flowing out from above his head. The melody was very light, with subtle gentleness. come out.

"Does it sound good? I remember you asked me about this song before." Xia Cong said, "It seems to be such a rainy day."

Yu Xiaolong felt familiar, but he forgot how persistently he wanted to know the name of this song without mentioning it.

Recalling the scene when I heard it for the first time, I can’t really tell what it matches with, the rain hitting the glass, the person sitting in front of the window, or something else.

After half a year, Xia Cong came back and waited for him at the door of the mansion. It seemed that he hadn't thought about it since then.

Xia Cong walked towards him, took a marker pen from the bookshelf, walked up to Yu Xiaolong, spread his palm, and wrote a few letters on it.

"The title of the song." He said, "It's a pity that I don't speak Japanese, otherwise I can sing it for you."

After a while, he said again: "If you don't mind, you can also choose a violin or a piano, and I will pick up the score."

Yu Xiaolong withdrew his hand, his expression seemed indifferent, "Just listen to it."

Xia Cong smiled, didn't say much, the song kept playing, "The meal is ready, let's go and eat."

One meat, one vegetable and one soup, the dishes are all home-cooked, just like the many meals they ate when they lived here, Yu Xiaolong didn't realize that he was hungry until he sat down.

The two ate in silence, Xia Cong seemed to have intentionally left him a clean meal, and when he was about to finish eating, he said, "The Chinese New Year will be in a few days, do you have any plans?"

"Go home." Yu Xiaolong said.

"Then it's like before, can I pick you up after you finish your meal?"

Yu Xiaolong remembered the last time Xia Cong said this here, saying that he was waiting for him to set off the fireworks, so he decided to go back and run back, and finally waited for the news that he was leaving the next day.

What Xia Cong said was right. Yu Xiaolong really didn’t believe him. He had already guessed his thoughts from the things he bought earlier, but he still insisted on whether this thought was really for the new year. doubt.

"Not going back?"

"I won't go back." Xia Cong said, "I didn't think about it at first, I don't like that place, not to mention you are here, of course I want to live with you more."

After Yu Xiaolong drank the last sip of soup, he didn't say yes or no, as if he didn't need to answer this question after being distracted like this.

Xia Cong very self-consciously said to send him back. In the past, the western-style buildings were close, but now Yu Xiaolong lives a little far away from the university town. The two got off the elevator together. numbers.

The people around him moved, Xia Cong leaned towards him out of the corner of the eye, Yu Xiaolong realized that he might want to kiss him.

He stood on the spot, his posture unchanged, and at the moment when Xia Cong's lips were about to fall, he turned his head away.

Xia Cong backed away knowingly, and Yu Xiaolong heard him sigh softly, and then his index finger was hooked and entangled with the other two knuckles to caress carefully.

Xia Cong didn't let go until the elevator got down to the floor they were going to and the door opened.

Yu Xiaolong watched him walk out, frowning slightly, suspecting that Xia Cong did it on purpose, knowing that he would avoid it, so the goal was his hand from the beginning.

The second consideration is that under normal circumstances, how could he allow him to touch like this, and for so long.

"..."

On the way back, Xia Cong talked to him at first, and of course he said most of it, Yu Xiaolong seldom responded, but when halfway through the journey, there was suddenly no sound in the car, and the atmosphere became a little dignified.

Yu Xiaolong noticed that Xia Cong looked into the rearview mirror twice in a row. He looked over and found that there was a car following them. There were not many cars on the road at this point, so it was easy to spot.

Xia Cong accelerated suddenly, and the car followed closely.

"See?" Xia Cong's eyes changed, a deep mark was bitten on the side of his face, he looked straight ahead, and shook Yu Xiaolong's hand, "You have never been a trouble, only me."
