Chapter 23
Chapter 23
Xia Chen sat in the square for a long time, relaxed among the crowd after a long absence, his mind was empty and he felt no discomfort.
No distractions, just enjoying the sunshine.
He didn't eat much in the morning, and he was a little hungry looking at the children coming and going with food.
He took out his phone and glanced at it.
The man didn't even call all morning. He raised his eyebrows, rubbed his hands on the conversation with the man for a moment, and then threw the phone back into his pocket.
It seems that the baby should be clingy today.
The child is still born, it's okay if there is no familiar person, if there is, it will always stick.
After sitting for a while, Xia Chen got up and went back home.
He ordered a piece of fried rice outside the community and packed it back. He was going to take a shower and then take a good sleep. The aftereffect of the sun is that his lazy bones will be hooked out, and he feels lazy all over.
However, while watching the news on the social platform, and looking at the phone while walking, at a certain moment, he looked up and saw a man leaning against the car not far away.
In this kind of deep winter weather, this person seems to be unable to feel the temperature. The tall and straight figure is set off by the camel coat, but it looks too thin.
Xia Chen clicked his tongue and put away his phone.
"Parking is not allowed downstairs, didn't the security guard tell you?"
Qin Lichuan rubbed his nose and glanced at the things in his hand, "Isn't there no parking space? He will come over and help me move it when there is a parking space."
Xia Chen twitched the corners of his mouth, he had gotten acquainted with people in just a few days, after thinking about it and looking back at his license plate, he almost understood.
"Did you have lunch? Why didn't you call?" he asked.
"I thought you would come back to rest." Qin Lichuan said honestly, and took out a packing box from the car instead, "No, I brought it for you."
Xia Chen's eyes moved, and the disappointment he felt when he didn't see the phone call and news just now suddenly disappeared.
When the two went upstairs, Qin Lichuan opened the fried rice he brought and took a look, "Why do you just eat this? Didn't you say you want to eat well last time?"
Xia Chen imitated his usual appearance, and shrugged his shoulders in an American way, "This is how we civilians live, and what we eat is good, we don't have to choose."
"That's not what I mean. I mean that you need more comprehensive nutrition and a good stomach." The man said.
Xia Chen knew what he meant. I'm afraid this person may have never eaten fried rice with eggs in the first half of his life. "This is the daily life of many people. It's just a normal meal. If you have nothing to do, you can go to the countryside to experience it."
Qin Lichuan was very depressed, "Hey, I found that you always want to run on me recently?"
Xia Chen didn't speak, and took a bite of the tenderloin brought by the man.
"...your delusion."
Qin Lichuan propped his chin and stared at him eating, "Really?"
Xia Chen ignored him and continued to eat. Just as he was about to move the fried rice in front of him, the man stopped him from the middle, "I'll eat this." After speaking, he glanced at Xia Chen again, and said again, "By the way, go to the countryside Experience the experience..."
Xia Chen, "..." So who is running on whom now?
The two had a meal together. Qin Lichuan is a meat lover. It is no wonder that he can eat this plate of fried rice with only a few vegetables. Someone watched him take a bite of the rice and put it in his mouth. Qin Lichuan chewed After a few clicks, he deliberately lifted his lips and said, "Well...where did you buy it, it tastes good."
No wonder, Xia Chen secretly thought in his heart.
"Near the community, if you want to eat, I can take you there next time." Xia Chen said.
Qin Lichuan put quick braised pork on the plate for him, "This is delicious, Qin Qing likes to eat the braised pork here."
Xia Chen twitched the corners of his lips, he doesn't like to eat fatty meat.
"You should eat some meat, it looks better if you are fatter." Qin Lichuan explained.
"I'm not a woman, what do you want to be so pretty?" Xia Chen looked at him speechless
"You know what I mean." The man stared into his eyes for a moment.
Xia Chen didn't speak, just lowered his head to eat.
In fact, it's not a big deal for the two of them to be together, it's flat, there are not many ups and downs, eating, chatting, taking walks, going to his house, and coming to my own house.
Xia Chen thought, is it because of this that he is not as repulsive as before?
After eating, Qin Lichuan went to the kitchen to tidy up with ease, talking to Xia Chen while tidying up, "The baby is still staying with my mother now, I don't know if he is crying or not."
Xia Chen sat on the dining table behind the man and looked at his mobile phone, "It won't make trouble, and she won't cry even if you're not here."
Qin Lichuan didn't understand, "What?"
"The child is very sensible. When you are around, she may feel that she is relied on and will always cling to you. When you are not around, she will be sensible." He explained.
"When did the baby come to the orphanage?" Qin Lichuan asked him while leaning on the console.
Xia Chen thought for a while, and said, "It's been almost two years."
He remembered that it was the child he met in the orphanage when he was in college. The child was dirty and didn't like to see people. He always shrank in the corner, even if he was eating, he had to choose the corner.
"The child is not yet five years old. It's really difficult for her to grow into such a temperament." The man washed his hands and put the dishes and chopsticks back where they were.
Listening to the man's words, Xia Chen stared at the phone for a long time without moving.
I don't know if it's all because of Qin Lichuan, or something else, but I always feel that everything around me is slowly getting better.
After packing up, Qin Lichuan walked up to him and shook his hand.
"What are you thinking? Sleepy?"
Xia Chen nodded hesitantly, then got up from the table, "Do you want to go back?"
"Throw it away when you're done using it, Xia Xia, you're not kind." The man was obviously very dissatisfied with his words.
Xia Chen raised his forehead, "...My fault, then, Mr. Qin, do you want to take a rest? The bedroom is very tidy now, do you want me to invite you in?"
Qin Lichuan didn't plan to grab that bed from Xia Chen, he must be tired after spending every day in the hospital these days.
"Come on, go to sleep, I'll just sit on the sofa, wake up and I'll take you back to the hospital."
Xia Chen stood on the spot and hesitated, "Otherwise... squeeze?" It's not like he hasn't slept in a bed before.
The man rubbed his chin and looked at him seriously, "Are you inviting me? Or... implying something?"
Xia Chen walked forward speechlessly, "I think the sofa is more suitable for you, wash up and sleep, good afternoon."
Qin Lichuan was laughing like an idiot. He stood still and watched the people pull up the curtains of the entire bedroom before he imitated Xia Chen's usual appearance and sat down on the carpet in front of the sofa.
For so many years, he felt that it was good to be alone, but there was no time when he hoped to form a family with someone more than this moment.
Xia Chen knew Bao Bao very well, but Qin Lichuan was wondering again, was it because he felt the same way every time?
His impulse and desire for Xia Chen became more and more intense.
This time, Xia Chen slept for a long time, and he didn't hear the sound of the door opening and closing, and he wasn't even sure whether Qin Lichuan had left or not.
He got out of bed, drew the curtains and opened the door.
The living room was quiet and there was no one there.
He didn't pay attention to the image at all, and walked out without slippers.
Surrounded the living room, but didn't see the trace left by Qin Lichuan, sighed and turned to go to the kitchen to drink water.
It's just that when he turned around, he was startled.
Qin Lichuan sat on the balcony in front of his drawing board and watched him motionless.
Xia Chen has never had any major emotional ups and downs. Seeing him like this, Qin Lichuan was stunned for a moment, and then a little funny.
"How did you see my reaction? Thought I was gone?"
Xia Chen patted his heart very speechlessly, "...it's broad daylight, why don't you make a sound!"
Qin Lichuan was very innocent, "I'm not afraid of disturbing your sleep..."
Xia Chen came back to his senses, went to the kitchen and poured himself a glass of cold water to wake him up, but before he drank it, he seemed to remember something, back and forth between the man's face and the drawing board, obviously not Determine what's going on.
Qin Lichuan raised his eyebrows, and followed his gaze back and forth, "Why?"
On Xia Chen's drawing board is the outline of a man's back. The shape was created in a boring time a few days ago, and I haven't had time to refine it.
Judging from the man's reaction, he probably didn't notice it, Xia Chen calmed down and continued to drink water.
"Tsk, you drink cold water on a cold day, isn't this life willful enough?" Qin Lichuan got up from the drawing board.
Xia Chen took another sip and saw the man turn on the hot water bottle, "Tomorrow I will ask my assistant to bring you a water dispenser, this matter is not discussed."
"I don't want it." Xia Chen calmly refused, if he wanted to drink water and boil it, he was the only one in the house, so there was no need for a water dispenser, "I will send it to your house."
"Tsk tsk, I'm serious. Our company just launched an integrated water purification and drinking water device, which can directly cool and heat."
Xia Chen was noncommittal about these, "Isn't this already on the market? Can it still be sold?"
The corners of Qin Lichuan's mouth twitched, and he gritted his teeth, "...you'll know if you just use it?!"
Xia Chen, "..."
The two of them went back to the hospital after having a simple dinner near the community. Originally, Qin Lichuan insisted on taking someone to some Thai restaurant to try something new, but Xia Chen unceremoniously refused.
"I'll just have something to eat downstairs, I'm going to you."
The man stopped talking after touching his nose.
Seeing Qin Lichuan discouraged and turning the steering wheel to park the car, Xia Chen glanced at the phone, hesitantly pulled the corners of his lips and explained, "Qin Lichuan... I'm not a woman, you don't have to change your way to take me to dinner every day, I don't pick picks and drop-offs. , just eat what you have, and...you can go back to work if you are busy, and you can come to the hospital when you are free, always like this, I will feel pressure instead. "
Qin Lichuan looked back at him quietly, "Xia Chen, I..."
Xia Chen caught a glimpse of the road ahead from the corner of his eye, his pupils vibrated for a few seconds and then quickly looked at Qin Lichuan, "Look ahead, don't look at me, you're about to hit the guardrail."
The man slammed on the brakes before restraining himself from parking the car in an empty parking space, and finally got a gap to look at Xia Chen who was beside him.
It was only now that Qin Lichuan knew that this person had seen his hard work for so long, it wasn't that he was heartless, or that he couldn't feel it, at most he just couldn't express it well.
Xia Chen felt a little unnatural when he looked at him like this. He glanced at the small shop not far away, and before the man could speak, he pushed the door and got off the car, "Hurry up, it's getting late, and I have to go back to accompany the baby later. Have a meal."
Qin Lichuan, "..."
