That night, Ren Xuanyu's fever indeed subsided,
It was just that he was still weak,
Shen Huai did not know how to cook,
He ordered takeout from the restaurant,
He only ordered the taste to be light,
He watched as Ren Xuanyu held the porridge bowl and ate with his eyes lowered,
Shen Huai felt that he was still not considerate enough.
"Do you want me to feed you?"
Ren Xuanyu was stunned for a moment and raised his head to look at him. Shen Huai was very serious. He put down his bowl and leaned over to take Ren Xuanyu's bowl,
He really scooped up a spoonful of porridge.
"Do you still have to blow it?" Shen Huai smiled at Ren Xuanyu,
He bent down his neck to blow again.
Ren Xuanyu's heart was like the layer of porridge floating on the surface of the bowl. It was wrinkled when it was blown by the wind.
The two of them leaned against each other. Shen Huai fed Ren Xuanyu half a bowl,
The rest was eaten by Ren Xuanyu. As they ate, they chatted about their recent situation. Thus, the two of them ate in such a warm and ordinary time..,
Only then did they realize that up until now..,
They rarely talked about trivial matters like this.
Shen Huai scraped the empty bowl with his spoon a few times. He raised his head and asked Ren Xuanyu, "You don't seem to have mentioned your parents much?"
Ren Xuanyu paused for a moment. "I don't have much contact with them."
Then, he didn't know how to continue,
He had never told anyone about this,
And Shen Huai happened to not be a person who would ask such a question,
After asking, he realized that it was quite sudden,
The two of them were stuck.
Shen Huai actually had a hundred ways to continue the topic in his mind,
He wanted to find out about Ren Xuanyu's unrevealed life, which proved that he was interested in Ren Xuanyu. This was clearly an opportunity to flirt. But he suddenly didn't want to do that. This moment of awkwardness, the silence of waiting for the other party to open up to him, was unexpectedly precious. This rare feeling of calmness and throbbing made Shen Huai realize deeply that Ren Xuanyu was different.
Shen Huai's gaze was straightforward. He had never been a bashful person, but his straightforwardness always had a hidden pressure. It was the habit of a superior. But this time, Ren Xuanyu lowered his eyes and could tell that Shen Huai's straightforward gaze was gentle. He sipped the cold porridge at the edge of the spoon while looking at himself, waiting for his response. He was so sure.
Yes, Ren Xuanyu found that no matter if it was the impudent Shen Huai or the quiet Shen Huai, he couldn't control himself.
He would definitely give in.
He talked about the things that he had almost never mentioned to others. "My family is an ordinary working-class family. My parents divorced when I was about six or seven years old. I lived with my father and went to see my mother on the weekends. That was how I spent my ten years in school. Both of them were the kind of people who were relatively indifferent to each other, so they didn't remarry. So I always felt that their divorce didn't affect me that much. I just lived with them separately, and I got double allowance. "
It was the most important period in one's life to shape one's character and cognition. Ren Xuanyu had been shuttling back and forth between his indifferent parents. They were not irresponsible, and they had fulfilled their legal obligations. Other than school, his mother would occasionally take Ren Xuanyu to the amusement park, and his father would occasionally accompany him to watch a movie. It was just that by nature, they were not the type to release their love. Judging from the fact that they divorced early and never remarried, they were indeed not the type to be accompanied by others. Therefore, although the things that they learned from the educational programs were responsible, they could not make Ren Xuanyu feel warm.
Ren Xuanyu always felt that although he was born in a divorced family, he was no different from his classmates. Whether it was the amusement park or the newly released cartoons, he could always have a common topic with his classmates. It was not until he entered university that his parents felt that they had done their duty and relaxed. That was when the difference between him and his classmates appeared. Whether it was his father who personally went to the dormitory to make the bed and hang the mosquito net for his son, who had zero ability to live, or his mother who sent the local specialties in the season, he did not. After almost losing contact with them for a semester, he did not know which family to return to during the long holidays. Therefore, he stayed in another city, and the distance between him and his parents became even further.
These past events could be said in a few words, because they were indeed ordinary, and no one had ever asked him about them. Ren Xuanyu knew how to make his lines vivid and meaningful, but when it came to talking about his own experience, the vocabulary he could use was too poor. He could not continue after a few words with Shen Huai, but Shen Huai had been looking at him very seriously and carefully. He was worried that he would disappoint him, so he hurriedly added a sentence.
"Later, I fell in love with acting. Maybe it was because I wanted to get more attention from others."
As soon as he finished speaking, he realized that he couldn't help but think of a scheme again. He almost immediately regretted it. He shouldn't have embellished Shen Huai's insignificant experiences when Shen Huai was so serious about understanding him. He even played the sympathy card.
Shen Huai stood up from the carpet and sat next to Ren Xuanyu. He changed the cup in his hand and said, "Then let me talk about my family. You know, our family has been doing business for three generations, and we have always been quite rich. My grandfather is very powerful, and until my father's generation, he has never handed over the power. My Family Shen is very generous. He does all the work by himself, but he shares the money with everyone. Therefore, there are very few people who challenge him, and there are many people who stay at home and take the dividends. Although the money brings everyone together, my grandfather makes everyone look like they are united, but at heart, they are divided, and the morale of the army is lax. Therefore, in my memory, I rarely see my parents. Both of them are playing outside. When the four of us were born, we had to do a paternity test to confirm that we are the flesh and blood of my parents before entering the family tree. Fortunately, both of them had a sense of propriety, and they did not make any mistakes in this matter. Speaking of this, it feels quite abnormal. In fact, it's not that bad. I am close to my sister at home, and I have a few good friends when I go out. Life has always been smooth, and there is nothing that I am dissatisfied with. I don't seem to have anything that I particularly like. Perhaps many things come too easily. "
After Shen Huai finished speaking, he lowered his head and stepped on Ren Xuanyu's foot. Both of their socks were taken out from the same box, a pair of grey socks and a pair of blue socks. Both of them lowered their heads to look at this picture and felt much more intimate with each other.
"Why … did you suddenly say this?" Ren Xuanyu asked.
"Because I like you, and I want to know you better." Shen Huai said it very calmly, without any shyness or ambiguity. However, Ren Xuanyu felt a little red in the face, and his toes shrank.
When Ren Xuanyu lowered his head and savored this warm and sweet feeling alone, he felt that Shen Huai was looking at him again. He raised his eyes and looked back. Shen Huai's eyes were as usual, without prying, only a straightforward, almost flawless gaze. Therefore, there was a hint of seriousness, but also a hint of gentleness.
"I hope that I can understand you."
So it was here.
The trap was here.
At the moment when his high fever blew the fuse and he let his guard down, he heard a short struggle before he fell into the trap, and then everything was quiet. He did not know if he had fallen or if he had grabbed onto the edge.
After Shen Huai said this, he stood up and put the cup on the table. He didn't clean it up, but directly called the restaurant staff to pick up the tableware. Then he noticed that the ice pack he had just put on Ren Xuanyu had melted and was dripping down the edge of the table. He frowned, obviously not wanting to clean it up, so he raised his head and asked Ren Xuanyu, "Are you feeling better? Go to the room and sleep. I'll call the auntie from Mount Linglong to come and clean it up."
Ren Xuanyu's sweat was all stuck to his body, and the air conditioner blew over, making him feel cold.
This kind of Shen Huai, the kind of Shen Huai who was like a trap, his honesty came from deep-rooted confidence — "Maybe it's because many things are too easy to get" — but he had never gotten anything so easy. Even the honesty of the person in front of him was exchanged with countless stacks of masks.
He couldn't fall down.
"Then do you want to carry me in?"
Ren Xuanyu smiled, and it was still the sweet and handsome smile like the tip of a petal. His eyes were squinting, and there was a hint of coquettishness and shyness.
Shen Huai was stunned.
