dinner for three

There were no curtains at the end of the corridor in the hospital. When the sky was just getting dark, the expected morning light hit the two of them gently. Since they hadn't had a good rest in the past few days, Xu Linfeng couldn't beat the drowsiness when it was approaching morning, and fell asleep a little. nap.Gu Miao, who woke up first, felt a slight pain from her cervical spine. It was only when she opened her eyes that she realized that she might have been sleeping on Xu Linfeng's shoulder all night.Feeling that this posture was too intimate, he straightened up slightly to keep some distance, only to find that Xu Linfeng was still holding his right hand, not as if he was pulling it secretly, and he could see some domineering meaning.He frowned, not knowing what to do.

Xu Linfeng has always been gentle. If there is any difference between the past and the present, it is probably more mature.I don't know what he experienced during the time we were apart, the way he looked at his eyes and the words he said to himself made it hard to tell whether it was true or not.

After hesitating, he withdrew his hand forcefully.The reassuring weight on his shoulders disappeared at some point, and the warm touch left his palms, and Xu Linfeng, who had not slept deeply, also woke up.Seeing Gu Miao's slightly evasive expression, Xu Linfeng didn't panic and looked a little disappointed even though he was knocked out and clenched his hand shamelessly after the other party fell asleep.

Both of them recalled the past, when they loved each other without any grievances, any small details were originally worth recalling.But now, perhaps because of the past, the two people who are gradually becoming clear about their own minds find it difficult to reach the ending.

When I got up, I saw that my mother was still asleep, and the nurses on the first shift began to push medicines and liquids in the corridor to start the day's work.The originally quiet hospital began to make some noises. It seemed that they were disturbed by the voices from the corridor. The sleeping mother looked nervous.Staring intently at the face she was most familiar with, and seeing her mother's slender eyelashes trembling, Gu Miao's breathing seemed to slow down.When she finally opened her eyes, she stared straight at the ceiling, as if she remembered something bad again. Time flies, she is no longer young, but she still retains traces of her youthful beauty, with such a sad look on her face .

As if she really felt someone watching her, she suddenly turned her head towards the glass side, staring at the figure of the nurse who suddenly passed by, and looked away from the empty corridor with some regret. After a moment of illusion, It became a wry smile again.

Gu Miao, who avoided his mother's sight, did not stay here, and Xu Linfeng also accompanied him and left the hospital.

When standing outside the hospital, when Gu Miao and Xu Linfeng walked up the flyover, looking at the gradually bustling city, Gu Miao hesitated for a moment, didn't know where to go, obviously didn't think about anything, just Holding a plane ticket and coming to my mother's ward, I have no one to rely on, and everything in the future is a luxury for me.

——Don't worry, I've already found someone to prepare a place for you. During these times, you can visit your mother more often.

——If you really want to work, this city is fine, or any other city you like. I will arrange it for you. I know you have endured too much in the past few years, but in the future, no one will can disrupt your life.

——So you don’t have to be afraid of anything, the only thing you need to do is to live the kind of life you want.

No one bothers?Does that include you?Gu Miao just thought about it this way, he was afraid that what he said would make Xu Linfeng feel very sad.

residence?Is it the same as in the past, living on the ivory tower you prepared for me, living in a place within your reach, returning to the past to continue the sweet life of whitewashing peace?He didn't want to ask such a question, or he didn't dare to ask.

His current thoughts are all on his mother, Xu Linfeng is right, even if he can't see each other, Gu Miao is reluctant to leave without looking back after reuniting with her.Followed Xu Linfeng to have breakfast, and then went to his so-called residence, perhaps to take care of his mood, this place is neither like Xu Linfeng's home nor has any resemblance to the past two people's residence.Don't make Gu Miao feel sad.

The house is very small, with only a small bedroom, kitchen and bathroom, and a small balcony in the bedroom. It is clean and warm, and it is the simple style that Gu Miao likes.In such a small room, the two men seemed a little crowded. They wanted Gu Miao to have a good rest. Xu Linfeng quickly found an excuse to leave, leaving some cash and a new mobile phone, which only stored his number.

After all, Gu Miao was unaccompanied, and he didn't take his mobile phone with him when he left. He could only ask himself for help in this city.

Lying on the soft bed, Gu Miao was finally able to sleep peacefully.In the dream, there were those lovely students whom he couldn’t bear to part with, who were staring at him in the classroom, there was the warm barley porridge he drank after coming back from work when he lived with his mother, there was Xu Yifan’s inadvertent smile, Xu Linfeng's hug made his mind messed up.

Even if she is not in the mood to devote herself to a new job, she learned from Xu Linfeng her mother's daily schedule, when she rests, eats, and takes a walk, and knows that her condition is improving, and she may be able to leave the hospital and live alone after a while.Every day is almost a pinch, racking my brains to stay in the closest place to her while avoiding her attention.If he wanted her to eat his own cooking, he asked Xu Linfeng to put his own cooking into mother's recipe.I don't know if she has noticed it, but in the past week, Gu Miao's heart has been filled to the brim. This feeling of being able to be with her family without any worries is too good to be true.

It was just that on the seventh day, he cooked a dinner for one person in his own small room. For a week, Xu Linfeng would visit him almost every day, usually not staying for long, but bringing many gifts to Gu Miao. Sometimes it's a cake, sometimes it's a green potted plant, sometimes it's a meal for Gu Miao, everything is so natural that people don't know how to refuse it.

Today's Xu Linfeng hasn't come yet, maybe he will come after dinner.Obviously there was no special feeling before, but today it is tasteless.At the same time as the feeling of hunger came from his stomach, the dishes that Xu Yifan made for himself suddenly appeared in his mind. The nostalgic taste, but at this moment, it reminded Gu Miao of another taste, which reminded him of high school , the perfect lunch that year.

Not sure how I connected the two things together.Thinking back to when I was just brought home by Xu Yifan, I also had a momentary feeling that the food was very familiar, but I never thought about it.Now that I think about it, that taste has been away for many years, and it is one of the few good memories in my dull life. The desire to feel that taste again is so strong that it makes people scared.

Thoughts are still chaotic, but the body has acted against its will. After disposing of the unfinished food, he took out the travel bag from the corner and took the washed clothes from the balcony one by one. good.Counting the money Xu Linfeng gave him, he could probably afford a return ticket, but just as he put the key in the shoe cabinet, the door was opened.

Looking at Gu Miao who was about to go out, Xu Linfeng couldn't hide his surprise, holding a little white cat with its head tilted in his arms.
