Chew Slowly Chapter 31

Chapter 31 Chapter 31

===========================

Chen Zongqian finally brought him home and locked the door, and the long-standing void in his heart seemed to be filled.It’s not a perfect fit, there are still gaps and gaps, but it’s much better than before.

“Can I hold you?” he asked.

Xu Qiaochuan took off his shoes with his back to him and stood barefoot on the ground.Surprisingly, he was able to arrange his own accommodation without permission, but he had to ask about other small things.Chen Zongqian’s eyes were separated by glass lenses, and he didn’t know whether his eyes were happy or sad, but he couldn’t tell the truth anyway.Xu Qiaochuan opened his hand slightly and was quickly hugged.

“Ah…” What is this?Xu Qiaochuan was almost pressed against the wall of the entrance hall. Chen Zongqian buried his head and leaned on his neck. He could feel the very light and shallow breath through his clothes.Isn’t this person always decent? Why is he acting like this now?Xu Qiaochuan couldn’t understand.

The hug only lasted for a while, and Chen Zongqian quickly let go of him and said: “Go and see your room——”

Before he finished speaking, someone suddenly pulled him by the collar and leaned forward. Chen Zongqian lowered his head and looked at Xu Qiaochuan.The man looked at him steadily, put his hand around Chen Zongqian’s neck, and brought it to his ear to say something, but he couldn’t say it after thinking for a long time.

Are you sick too?Not daring to ask directly, and not daring to let his inner voice be heard clearly, Xu Qiaochuan covered one of Chen Zongqian’s ears and tried to kiss it slowly, but in the end he only kissed the back of his hand.

Chen Zongqian seemed to have made preparations for moving in for a long time. He had all the daily necessities and nothing was missing.

Chen Zongqian bought the apartment a few years ago. When he bought it, Du Hongwei was angry with him, saying that the bigger the house, the better.Chen Zongqian stayed outside alone. The house was empty and lifeless.

Du Hongwei was right. During that time, he often worked overtime and went on business trips. He was so busy that he couldn’t take care of home every day. He stayed in hotels and stayed in hotels more familiar than at home.

Yao Can wished him a happy housewarming and gave him two money trees, which was a bit vulgar, but she said the meaning was very good and asked Chen Zongqian to accept them quickly, not knowing what was good or what was evil.But those two trees could not avoid the fate of withering, leaving only two fortune pots still in the utility room.

Can’t even support trees, let alone cats and dogs?He didn’t have a family, and Du Hongwei had always been afraid that he would be lonely.At that time, Chen Zongqian didn’t care at all. He was too busy to be alone.

But it was different now. It felt wonderful to have someone at home. When he opened the door after get off work, the room was lit up and the windows were open. Everything made his house bright and fresh.

Xu Qiaochuan was not fully recovered from his illness and was recuperating at home without going to work.One of the medicines he took was lorazepam. The side effects of the medicine made him very drowsy and dizzy all day long.He didn’t often stay in his bedroom, and he vaguely remembered that Chen Zongqian asked him to stay in the living room.

He always slept around on the sofa in the living room. What Chen Zongqian had to do every time he passed by was to help him pick up the blanket on the ground and cover it again.I pick them up once or twice every day, and Chen Zongqian doesn’t tire of them either.

When he came back later today, Chen Zongqian sent a message asking him to have dinner by himself without waiting.Xu Qiaochuan was very slow in replying and was too lazy to type. He clicked on it to indicate that he had read it.

Chen Zongqian didn’t get home until after eleven o’clock. Not surprisingly, he found that the lights in the living room were still on and the TV was on, but the sound was very low.Xu Qiaochuan fell asleep on the sofa again, and the blanket slid to the ground as before.He was lying irregularly, with his loose T-shirt half rolled up, revealing a section of his white waist.

Recalling that Xu Qiaochuan said the wound was a little itchy two days ago, Chen Zongqian hugged him and turned him over, finding the wound that had been stitched.The wound has healed, new flesh has grown, and it is now a flesh-pink thing.It didn’t look good. Chen Zongqian touched the wound with his finger, thinking that he should ask Jiang Ning for any medicine to remove scars.

“When will you feel better?” Chen Zongqian whispered.Helping him tidy up his clothes, he moved as gently as possible, but Xu Qiaochuan still woke up from his dream quickly.

Before he could fully recover when he opened his eyes, Chen Zongqian was sitting on the sofa. He lowered his eyes and saw him groping for his hand, and the two quickly intertwined their fingers.Chen Zongqian hooked his palm, causing Xu Qiaochuan to frown all the time, but he still lay still. Chen Zongqian thought he was very funny.

“Why don’t you go to bed and sleep?”

Xu Qiaochuan’s eyelids were as heavy as lead, and he quickly closed them again without any reaction.Chen Zongqian lowered his head and leaned closer to him, playfully touching his eyelids, causing him to slowly open his eyes again.

“You’re back.” Xu Qiaochuan’s voice was very soft. He could now speak some very short sentences, but it sounded very abstract, “I fell asleep? I was waiting for you…”

Chen Zongqian touched his head, but Xu Qiaochuan turned his head to avoid it.The effect of the medicine made him feel very sleepy, and Chen Zongqian also came back very late. He couldn’t remember what he was going to say when the others came back.

He opened his eyes in a daze, and then Chen Zongqian carried him into the bedroom.The bed was very soft, and Xu Qiaochuan began to feel sleepy again when he lay down.He grabbed Chen Zongqian without letting go, and the man soon lay down next to him.

“Forgot… I’ll think about it.” Xu Qiaochuan didn’t dare to close his eyes. Chen Zongqian asked him to think slowly. Xu Qiaochuan frowned and retorted, “Think slowly, and then I fell asleep.”

Chen Zongqian kept laughing, and Xu Qiaochuan became so angry that he punched him in the chest without any pain or itching.He stopped laughing quickly, at least Xu Qiaochuan didn’t hear him laugh again, but asked: “Xiaoqiao, why don’t you call me brother?”

It seems that after returning from Zhaozheng Temple that day, Xu Qiaochuan never called him brother again.Chen Zongqian was a little sad and confused.

Xu Qiaochuan didn’t want to answer, so he grabbed the quilt and covered his head. Chen Zongqian also pulled the quilt and peeled him out of the soft fabric.

He held up half of his body. Xu Qiaochuan was uncomfortable to see, but he was almost trapped in Chen Zongqian’s arms and could not escape anywhere.Chen Zongqian asked softly: “Why?”

The medicine made Xu Qiaochuan feel sleepy and exhausted, as if he was being slowly boiled in warm water.My body felt very uncomfortable, and so did my heart. It was beating so hard that I almost wanted to jump out of my chest to escape from this body that was repeatedly eroded by the heat.It really saddened him and reminded him of what he had just wanted to say.

“Will you go to work tomorrow?”

Chen Zongqian felt that he was changing the topic, so he pinched his face in a feigned anger, but the force was not strong.I don’t know why he asked this suddenly. Could it be that there is an arrangement related to him?Chen Zongqian couldn’t figure it out and reported truthfully: “I have a rest the day after tomorrow. Do you want me to come back early tomorrow?”

Xu Qiaochuan responded dully: “Tomorrow…is my birthday.”

I didn’t expect this to be the reason, but it was “Xu Qiaochuan”‘s birthday, not Chen Xingran’s.Chen Zongqian was unable to correct this fallacy, and suddenly felt dry and depressed.Not wanting to disappoint, he still asked: “Then what gift do you want?”

“I want you to come back soon.” Xu Qiaochuan was so sleepy that he couldn’t open his eyes. After he finished speaking, he had something on his mind and finally fell asleep.
