Don't think I'm just a sheep

"But...you didn't eat dinner today, and you didn't think of buying something for yourself." Jiang Lizhi was very smart for a while, and instead of directly agreeing to the other party, he asked cautiously: "I will make it for you next time." How about small biscuits? You keep them in the car and in the office, and you can eat them whenever you are hungry, so you won’t get a stomach ache from being hungry.”

"Okay, you can also make small biscuits? It's pretty good." Xu Shunli was a little ashamed. He had grown so many years, but in the end, he still needed Jiang Lizhi to remind him to take care of his body.

"Well, after reading the tutorials on the Internet, I learned to do it myself a few times." Jiang Lizhi rubbed his hands in embarrassment, and seeing that the other party had almost finished eating, he quickly took the thermos and put it aside, "Brother Xu, first Drive back to your own home, I will drive the car away, I will pick up Brother Zhuo tomorrow, if you want to discuss something, I can pick you up by the way."

Xu Shunli didn't say anything more, started the car and drove all the way to his home, and still didn't intend to stop when he drove to the gate of the community.

The vehicle slowly drove into the community and stopped in the parking space downstairs. Xu Shunli said to the young man who looked surprised: "Let's go, if you don't dislike it, you can stay with me at night. Your home is too far away, and then drive back." It's almost dawn."

Xu Shunli's home is an old residential area not far from the company. Although it is a long time ago, the location is good and it is very suitable for living. Jiang Lizhi's residence is just on the other side of the company. Although it is not remote, it has already deviated from the After leaving the main city, it is nearly fifteen kilometers away.

Xu Shunli's sudden proposal was undoubtedly like a pie falling from the sky to Jiang Lizhi, and it just hit him on the head, but he still tried his best to restrain his excitement, and asked politely: "Will this disturb you?" family?"

"No, I live with my grandma and grandpa. They are old, go to bed early, and their hearing is not very good, so they are not easy to be disturbed."

"This... so, that's good."

Jiang Lizhi knew Xu Shunli's grandmother and grandfather. When he went back to his hometown to look for his younger brother, he heard that he bought a house in the city and took the two old people away.

It's just that 18 years later, the two elders are still alive. Jiang Lizhi was very happy when he thought that he would have the opportunity to meet the kind old lady back then.

"Grandma, have they been in good health these past few years?" A word came out of his mouth, and Jiang Lizhi quickly changed his words after realizing it, "I mean your grandma and grandpa, are they all quite old, are they in good health?"

"Grandpa had a stroke a few years ago, but it has been cured. The doctor said that as long as the blood pressure is controlled and not too much stimulation, it is basically stable. Grandma has always been in good health. She looks like 70 in her 51s."

"That's good." Xu Shunli didn't notice the abnormality in his words. Jiang Lizhi was relieved, but he didn't dare to speak nonsense for a while.

This community has been built for more than ten years. There is no elevator installed in the six-storey building, and the lights in the corridor have been broken for a long time. Because it is a public facility, no one has come to fix it after calling.

Xu Shunli lit the flashlight on his mobile phone and walked ahead, reminding Jiang Lizhi to be careful on his feet from time to time.

When he reached the sixth floor, he opened the door, sideways turned on the ceiling light in the living room, and let Jiang Lizhi walk into the narrow entrance first.

There are three rooms in the house, the smallest one is used to store sundries, one of the other two bedrooms is used by Xu Shunli’s grandma and grandpa, and the other is bigger, divided into two areas with beds and desks Bookcase, where Xu Shunlip usually works and sleeps.

"The place is small, and I won't be able to sleep for a long time. Let's squeeze together first." Seeing Jiang Lizhi looking around curiously, Xu Shunli patted him on the shoulder and led him to the bedroom.

"Look, Xiaojiang, although I have worked in City B for so many years, the only property I can see is this dilapidated house. There are still five years left to pay off the mortgage, and there are two elderly people in the family who need support. I spent a lot of money on illness, and now I hardly have much savings."

"I'm really not as good as you think, so you don't mind?"

After speaking, Xu Shunli took out a new quilt from the cabinet, turned around and looked at the young man in front of him.

The young man has delicate features, the usual shy smile is gone, and a pair of round eyes are looking at him seriously.

Xu Shunli thought that if Jiang Lizhi flinched or hesitated in his eyes, he would pretend not to know about it, and the two would continue to maintain their working relationship.

But no, Jiang Lizhi's love was too obvious, not only did not waver, but was even instantly lit by another layer of meaning in his words, full of hope.

"Brother Xu, I like you." Jiang Lizhi plucked up the courage to hold Xu Shunli's hand hanging by his side, "You don't have to accept it, but please don't think of me that way, I don't like you because of material conditions."

Jiang Lizhi didn't know whether he should tell Xu Shunli that he was the Bubu back then. He had thought about telling Xu Shunli from the first time they met in Liang Yusheng's villa, but he was afraid that Xu Shunli would completely treat him as his younger brother. Looking at it, there is no possibility of developing in the direction of lovers in the future.

After all, no normal person would have such emotions for a five-year-old child. He didn't want Xu Shunli to see him as a child or a younger brother forever, so he would rather get to know this person again as a colleague.

"I accept"

"what?"

Jiang Lizhi, who was immersed in his own thoughts, was dumbfounded by the sudden three words of a man, his brain suddenly went on strike, and he could only stare blankly at the other party.

"Didn't you say you like me? I accept your liking, do you want to date and see?"

"Yes, yes, yes." Jiang Lizhi nodded quickly, his face was flushed with excitement, it looked like a ripe apple, with a sweet smell, tempting people to take a bite.

Xu Shunli felt that he had made the right decision, and the exhaustion he felt before was less obvious, so he took the quilt cover from the cabinet and handed it over, "You put the quilt on, and I'll find you clean toiletries. Pack up and rest as soon as possible."

"Ah..." Jiang Lizhi regained some of his stunned consciousness, blushed and whispered: "Then...do I need to put on the quilt again?"

Xu Shunli smiled and said, "If you don't mind, of course you don't have to."

"Then... I don't want it~" Jiang Lizhi said happily, seeing Xu Shunli looking at him, he immediately added embarrassingly, "I don't want it... right?"

"En." Xu Shunli rubbed his head, "Then you put the things back in the cabinet, and then come in to wash."

As he said that, he went to the bathroom to find tools for him.

Jiang Lizhi stood there for a few seconds, and when Xu Shunli was completely out of sight, he stretched out his hand and pinched the flesh on his cheek. After feeling the pain, he smiled foolishly, "It's not a dream..."

After several days of busy work, both of them were physically exhausted, but because of the sudden change in their relationship, they fell asleep inexplicably. When it was dawn, Jiang Lizhi wasn't sure if Xu Shunli was asleep, but he still leaned over slowly, Carefully stick your head on the opponent's back.

As a result, in the next second, the man had turned around and hugged him directly, and a voice that didn't feel sleepy at all rang out above his head, "Can't you sleep?"

"Well... a little excited." He stretched out his arms and hugged Xu Shunli's waist, "Brother Xu, how about you?"

"I'm too tired and prone to insomnia. Of course, there are also emotional reasons."

"Huh? Then you... can easily damage your health."

"I'm used to it. It's the same when I lie down and close my eyes to rest. It's good after I've been busy for a while." Xu Shunli could feel Jiang Lizhi's heartbeat like a wild horse through his pajamas. It will make you feel better, and this feeling will affect your rest even more."

"certainly not!"

After Jiang Lizhi finished speaking, he was afraid that the other party would not believe him, so he explained: "It's been like this since I went to bed..."

It means that whether you hug or not, your heart beats at this frequency.

"Then how about I put another quilt on for you?"

"But I want to hug you..." Jiang Lizhi lowered his head even lower, and buried it in Xu Shunli's chest, "I... am I quite worthless?"

"No, I'm actually quite happy to feel that you like me so much."

Xu Shunli is telling the truth, because of his parents, he is extremely insecure about relationships, and he has never been in a relationship, even if he was liked and pursued by others when he was a student, that kind of pursuit and liking has never never reached his heart.

But for some reason, he can always easily receive Jiang Lizhi's emotional signals, whether he likes it or is nervous, these emotions are so real, as if breaking through the isolation zone he set for himself, and directly transmitted to him.

If he was not sure why he couldn't refuse Jiang Lizhi in the car before, then now he can be sure that he has a good impression of Jiang Lizhi.

At least with him, this person is different from everyone else. This person can easily affect his emotions, and can easily make him reluctant to refuse.

Hearing what Xu Shunli said, Jiang Lizhi felt relieved, and repeated it seriously, "Brother Xu, I like you...I really like you very much."

"Well, I know, I like you too, and now I'm trying my best to go in the direction of liking you very much." Xu Shunli imitated his tone and said with a smile, then patted him on the back, "There are still two hours, Close your eyes and rest for a while."

"it is good."

Jiang Lizhi closed his eyes, felt the gentle soothing up and down of his back, and finally gradually became sleepy...
