Chapter 58:
It happened that Jiang Xu was also a bit greedy for tiger skin and green peppers, so he deliberately emptied his stomach for this meal and went home early.
Unexpectedly, when he sat down at the dining table, he realized that there were many dishes on the table, but there was no plate of tiger skin green peppers.
This made Jiang Xu a little disappointed, he didn\'t show it on his face, and asked Shen Fangyu unintentionally, "Didn\'t you show off your tiger skin green pepper today?"
Ever since he found out that his evaluation of this dish was pretty good, Shen Fangyu often cooks it for him, and he always makes a fuss about it, saying that he has passed on his grandfather\'s cooking skills.
"I..." Shen Fangyu hesitated for a moment and said, "I didn\'t see a green pepper seller." He scooped up a spoonful of corn for Jiang Xu, "Why don\'t you try this."
Jiang Xu lowered his head, looking at the yellow-orange corn kernels in the bowl, with a delicate expression on his face.
He felt that something was wrong with Shen Fangyu today, but it seemed impolite to ask him where he had been during the day.
Such thoughts flashed through his mind, and Jiang Xu\'s nerves jumped suddenly.
When did he start to be curious about Shen Fangyu\'s whereabouts?
This is really too disproportionate and exceeds the social distance that two adults should have.
Jiang Xu tried to suppress this emotion, but after trying for a while, he found that he still wanted to know.
Want it so so much.
The meal was inexplicably silent, Jiang Xu realized for the first time that when Shen Fangyu quieted down, there was really no sound in their room.
Jiang Xu took a look at Shen Fangyu, he ate seriously, he didn\'t make jokes with him, his expression was so solemn that even chewing required thinking, and his eyes were a little wandering.
Did he do something to make Shen Fangyu unhappy?
First he refused to sleep with him, and now he doesn\'t cook his favorite dishes. In the past, he insisted on arranging the rest time on the same day as Jiang Xu. This time, he took the initiative to stagger the two\'s rest time.
It was the first time for Jiang Xu to get along with Shen Fangyu, and he had a short self-reflection for half a minute.
Then he reacted in a jerk, with a dazed look on his face, as if he didn\'t understand.
He was reflecting on Shen Fangyu?
This is too outrageous.
Shen Fangyu is not just a piece of paper, what can he do to hurt Shen Fangyu?
To put it bluntly, his attitude was a bit off, but he has been with Shen Fangyu like this for more than ten years. Could it be that Shen Fangyu was not angry before, but suddenly became angry these two days?
Then it has nothing to do with him, it\'s Shen Fangyu\'s own problem.
"Jiang Xu."
As he was thinking this, Shen Fangyu suddenly interrupted his thoughts.
"Huh?" Jiang Xu looked up at him.
"When was the last time you liked someone else?"
Jiang Xu swallowed the corn kernels, somewhat surprised by Shen Fangyu\'s question.
What did Shen Fangyu want to do, talk to him?
If it had been put before, he might not be too lazy to answer such gossip questions, but because of today\'s reflection, Jiang Xu thought about it and decided to be patient with Shen Fangyu, so he paused and said concisely: "Zhong blue."
"How did you know you liked Zhong Lan?" Shen Fangyu asked again.
"..." Jiang Xu choked speechlessly, but still calmly said: "Getting along with her is very comfortable and natural."
"Then is it uncomfortable and unnatural for you to get along with Angkor?" Shen Fangyu said, "Do you also like Angkor?"
Jiang Xu\'s patience gradually faded, "What are you talking about? Senior brother is married."
"what about me?"
"You what?"
"Are you comfortable with me?"
Jiang Xu paused for a short moment when he heard the words, and said "um" very softly, "It\'s okay."
Shen Fangyu asked aggressively, "I\'m not married, so do you like me?"
Jiang Xu: "?"
He ate half of the corn kernels, and when he heard the words, he choked directly into his trachea. He quickly pulled out a tissue to cover his mouth, and coughed violently one after another, his face also turned red due to suffocation.
Shen Fangyu hurriedly patted him on the back and said, "Eat slowly."
When Jiang Xu slowed down, the corners of his eyes were already glowing physiologically. He wiped them with a tissue, making the corners of his eyes slightly red, and Shen Fangyu suddenly avoided his gaze.
"What are you fantasizing about?" Jiang Xu stood up from the dining table and asked inexplicably, "What exactly are you trying to say?"
"It\'s nothing, I was just joking," Shen Fangyu turned his face away, "It\'s not because you haven\'t smiled much all day."
"This is the first time you saw me today." Jiang Xu pointed out expressionlessly.
When he got up this morning, Shen Fangyu left, leaving only the breakfast on the table. It wasn\'t until he got off work that the two met for the first time today.
"Do you have a problem with me?" Jiang Xu said bluntly.
"No." Shen Fangyu lowered his eyes and stacked the bowls and chopsticks together. He knew that Jiang Xu probably also noticed his absence, so he prevaricated, "It\'s about work."
Jiang Xu looked at him silently for a while, then stopped talking for a while, and said: "If I can help you, you can tell me."
This was the first time he offered to help Shen Fangyu. It was a bit rare for him to ask, but he didn\'t expect Shen Fangyu to rebuff, "No need."
After hearing this, Jiang Xu put down his chopsticks with a cold face, turned and went to the study.
He didn\'t close the door tightly, half of his ear was listening to the sound of washing the tableware and washing dishes, and then everything became quiet, but Shen Fangyu didn\'t come to the study.
Generally speaking, Shen Fangyu would not work in the living room or dining room unless there was a meeting, but today there was no voice of Shen Fangyu talking outside.
He\'s not in a meeting.
But he didn\'t come to work in the study either.
Jiang Xu looked up at the empty table and chairs opposite, and the bouquet of red roses next to him. The once dazzling flower buds have lost their previous color, and are withering and decaying, holding on to the last bit of vitality.
He stood up suddenly, and threw the whole bouquet of withered flowers to the door. The moment the door closed, Shen Fangyu, who was sitting on the sofa reading documents, turned around when he heard the sound, "What\'s wrong?"
Jiang Xu glanced at him inexplicably, and sat back in the study without looking back.
"Brother Xu, milk tea."
As soon as Jiang Xu came out of the operating room in the afternoon, he bumped into Yu Sang who was distributing milk tea in the office.
He is in a special body now and cannot drink these, so he waved his hand and declined Yu Sang\'s kindness.
"Why are you keeping in good health recently? I think you haven\'t drunk coffee for a long time." Yu Sang said.
Jiang Xu gave an indistinct "hmm", took a glass full of boiled water at just the right temperature, and said to Sang, "Happy event?"
When Yu Sang was promoted to be the doctor, he had just invited the big guys in the department to have a meal. It hasn\'t been long, and if it wasn\'t for some happy event, Yu Sang wouldn\'t have spent money again.
Yu Sang\'s eyes were full of smiles, "Brother Xu, I\'ve found someone."
Jiang Xu was a little surprised, and there was a little joy in his eyes, "Congratulations."
He knew that Yu Sang had always been very hardworking, and he hadn\'t had time to find a partner for so many years. During dinner parties, Yu Sang would often talk about a girl he had been secretly in love with for many years. He was always afraid that if he didn\'t confess his love, she would marry soon.
"I didn\'t have much money or time before, so I didn\'t dare to bother her," said Yu Sang, "I finally hired a doctor this time, so I confessed my love to her. She said I had to chase her first. It means rejection, I didn\'t expect..." Yu Sang Yue blushed more and more, his smile couldn\'t be hidden at all, "I really caught up with you."
"But my girlfriend said that I\'m too straight and I\'m not interesting," probably because of sweet troubles. Even when he said this, Yu Sang still had a smile on his face. Pass a book to Jiang Xu, "I just bought this, to see how people manage emotional relationships."
Jiang Xu glanced at it, probably some kind of Chicken Soup Guide for an Emotional Master.
He usually would not give this kind of book an extra look, but for some reason, he paused for a rare moment today and asked, "Is it useful?"
The person immersed in the sweetness of love blurted out: "Of course it is useful, the relationship between people always needs to be managed." After he finished speaking, he felt something was wrong, "What\'s wrong, brother Xu? You are... Planning to chase someone?"
Jiang Xu withdrew his gaze, "Ask casually."
"Is there still a conflict with which friend?" Yu Sang followed closely: "I read in this book that there are many similarities between the relationship between friends and lovers."
Jiang Xu put his hand on the pen, and after a while, he raised his eyes and said to Sang: "My cousin..."
When he said this, Yu Sangdon realized it, and he said that according to Jiang Xu\'s way of hospitality, sooner or later his honest and dull cousin would have a quarrel with him.
"Brother Xu, you have to be more enthusiastic and proactive," he said, "You are the host, you can\'t let the guests feel neglected."
The speaker has no intention, but the listener has the heart.
Yu Sangyuan said it casually, but for some reason, it suddenly reminded Jiang Xu of the night he ran away from home.
Shen Fangyu\'s heart-wrenching words impressed him so deeply that when he recalled that day afterwards, he always subconsciously ignored Shen Fangyu\'s other words. Until now, he belatedly remembered some of them.
When downloading the operation video online, Shen Fangyu said that he was a guest, that Jiang Xu understood, and Jiang Xu\'s wifi also understood, but he himself did not understand.
Could it be because... he made Shen Fangyu feel that he was just a dispensable guest?
"Brother Xu, I know you don\'t really like to manage this kind of relationship," Yu Sang was still whispering in his ear: "But the relationship is mutual—"
"Give me a link." Jiang Xu interrupted.
"ah?"
Jiang Xu nodded his eyes on the book in his hand.
Yu Sang lowered her head stunned, looked at the book in her hand, and saw the emotional master on the cover smiling meaningfully.
Shen Fangyu suspected that Jiang Xu might have been stimulated by something recently.
At night, after he took a shower and sat on the sofa revising his thesis, Jiang Xu, who usually worked in the study, suddenly sat next to him with his computer in his arms.
Before he had time to speak, Jiang Xu handed him a glass of mangosteen fruit water, and said thoughtfully: "I see you went to A medical university for class today, moisten your throat."
Shen Fangyu looked as if he had seen a ghost, and took the glass with trembling hands. Unexpectedly, Jiang Xu didn\'t grab the glass and pour water on him until he drank half of the glass.
After he finished drinking the water carefully, he realized that Jiang Xu was sitting next to him. Even though the sofa was so big, there was not even a pillow between them. Shen Fangyu could even hear Jiang Xu\'s breathing, and felt the sound of Jiang Xu\'s breathing. The temperature on his body.
He didn\'t know what Jiang Xu was thinking, whether his house was taken away or he was suffering from schizophrenia. He only knew that his brain seemed to be warning that it was going to shut down again.
Shen Fangyu struggled to turn his attention back to the literature, but the plain English letters seemed particularly boring at this moment. He focused his sight several times but failed miserably. An hour later, he was still correcting the sentence an hour ago.
He took a deep breath and stood up, Jiang Xu immediately looked up at him, "What are you going to do?"
Shen Fangyu, who was noticed trying to run away, had no choice but to change his words: "I\'ll go make milk for you."
Jiang Xu took a sip from the milk cup, and seeing Shen Fangyu still standing, he showed a puzzled look.
Shen Fangyu\'s eyes fell on his milk-stained upper lip, and he suddenly felt his throat burn.
He found that Jiang Xu\'s lips were very beautiful, with a little pout, because his lips were thin, he hadn\'t noticed it in normal times, but now it was very clear because of the milk.
Then Jiang Xu stuck out his tongue unconsciously and licked his lips.
Shen Fangyu\'s scalp went numb.
He felt that what he just drank might not be Luo Han Guo water, but a new type of pesticide that he didn\'t know, otherwise why didn\'t he quench his thirst at all, instead he felt his throat getting drier.
He picked up the computer, decided to leave this place of right and wrong, and said calmly: "The sofa is too soft, I always feel sleepy, I will go to the study to write."
Just when he went to the study to put down the computer, the door suddenly opened again, Jiang Xu walked in with the computer in his arms, saw him look over, and said, "I also think the sofa is too soft."
Shen Fangyu pushed his tongue against the roof of his mouth, and nodded calmly.
The two sat facing each other. Fortunately, with the computer behind them, Shen Fangyu\'s heart gradually calmed down. He finally focused on re-reading the sentence he was revising just now. Just as he picked out the fault and was about to correct it, something suddenly touched him.
A cool, almost non-existent skin touch.
It was Jiang Xu\'s ankle.
Shen Fangyu\'s heart skipped a beat, and the slight revisions he had finally figured out all flew into the sky.
He glanced at Jiang Xu, then looked away quickly, Jiang Xu frowned slightly, his attention was all on the computer, obviously he didn\'t realize this abrupt contact.
After a while, Shen Fangyu rolled his Adam\'s apple stiffly, and said to Jiang Xu, "Why don\'t you wear socks?"
Jiang Xu glanced at him inexplicably.
Just when Shen Fangyu thought that Jiang Xu might lose his temper, he suddenly stood up and went to the bedroom to get a pair of socks.
Shen Fangyu glanced at his feet, pursed his lips and said, hesitantly said, "Why don\'t you change it to a longer one that can protect your ankles..."
Jiang Xu was silent for a moment, patted him on the shoulder, and signaled him to enter the bedroom, "Come here."
Shen Fangyu thought that Jiang Xu was going to fight him, but Jiang Xu actually opened the wardrobe drawer and said to him, "You pick a pair."
Shen Fangyu felt a little mysterious.
Is this Jiang Xu?
Isn\'t this good temper too outrageous?
He tentatively took out a pair of long socks that could cover his ankles and handed them to Jiang Xu. Unexpectedly, Jiang Xu took them and sat on the bed and began to wear them in front of him.
Because he had taken a shower, he was wearing loose home clothes with the top button left unbuttoned. As soon as he bent down, Shen Fangyu saw his collarbone and the clearly visible cinnabar mole on his chest.
He looked away hastily, "You haven\'t buttoned it properly."
Jiang Xu lowered his head and took a look, the buttons were buttoned neatly, there was nothing wrong with it.
Shen Fangyu watched his heart and said, "When you go to work, don\'t you always button the top button of your shirt?"
Jiang Xu bent over and paused when he heard the words, "This is home clothes."
"Can home clothes not be buttoned to the top one?"
Jiang Xu: "..."
He couldn\'t stand it anymore.
In order to restore the relationship with Shen Fangyu, he has shown the best attitude today. He not only made tea for Shen Fangyu, but also took the initiative to work with him. Shen Fangyu had a fit and wanted to change places, so he followed suit. He also wore them, and even asked him to change his socks, but now Shen Fangyu even cared about his buttons.
Go **** and fix the relationship.
He took off his socks and threw them aside, unbuttoned several buttons on his collar, then carried the computer back to the bedroom, and closed the door with a "slap".
After a while, he opened the door again as if he suddenly remembered something.
"If you are sick, go to the hospital to treat your brain."
He finished speaking bluntly to the bewildered Shen Fangyu outside the door, and lay back on the bed neatly.
Finally comfortable.
And Shen Fangyu stood outside the door and took a deep breath slowly.
He really wanted to tell Jiang Xu that if he hadn\'t gone to the hospital to see his brain, he wouldn\'t have become like this.
What the old doctor said that day was like a catalyst, turning his not-so-serious condition into a hopeless one. Now facing Jiang Xu, he is like a firecracker that catches fire at any point. It made him panic.
He thought he might really like Jiang Xu.
Because many bad thoughts appeared in his mind.
For example, just now, he didn\'t really want Jiang Xu to fasten his buttons.
Another example is now, he really wants to push open the door and tear all the buttons off him, and then...he dare not think about the things after that.
Shen Fangyu raised his hand and slapped himself, finally calming down his hot brain for a while.
How can you think of such a thing.
Dr. Shen pressed the center of his eyebrows, and for the first time felt that he might be a little shameless.
