His back staggering in the stairwell seemed a little embarrassed. Zhou Li showed unbearableness. Although he didn't understand why he suddenly became angry again, he hurried forward and held him again.

"Hey, don't show off. If you fall, you will be embarrassed." She sincerely advised her. Unexpectedly, Chen Yanxian seemed to be even more angry. She stared at her fiercely, but Zhou Li controlled her body, which felt like a paper tiger was lying on her teeth and claws.

While helping him down, Zhou Li educated him earnestly in Old Li's tone, "Tell me, you still have such a bad temper. It's okay now. What should I do if I leave society in the future..."

Chen Yanxian was so angry that he calmed down and was extremely indifferent.

"Don't worry, my future social survival ability will definitely be stronger than that of you."

Zhou Li's chest aches, "When he speaks, why do he still attack him personally!"

"Shut up!"

Bad temper!

Zhou Li cursed in his heart, but he still helped him downstairs with great caution.

She couldn't help but cry for her kindness.

What is this beautiful friendship that touches the world!

When Chen Yanxian returned home, nothing unexpected happened was empty, the walls seemed cold, and the empty and quiet house had no fresh atmosphere.

Three days later, no one noticed that his foot was injured.

There was only a handful of noodles and a few eggs left in the refrigerator. Chen Yanxian couldn't go to the supermarket to purchase in the past two days. The inventory in the house was reduced at a visible speed. Xie Ling and Chen Zongjiu had already regarded the company as their home, and it was common not to come back every few days.

He held the refrigerator door and stared at the empty cabinet with cold white lights inside for a long time. Finally, he took out his mobile phone and opened the takeaway platform.

The merchants around had basically eaten it. Chen Yan was so tired that he was about to order a random portion to solve the problem. When the fuselage vibrated slightly, Zhou Li's name appeared at the top.

"Chen Yanxian, is there anyone in your family?"

"No." He lowered his head and pressed his phone, his eyelashes slid a shadow on his eye sockets.

"Then what are you eating?"

“Order takeaway.”

"My mother has cooked too much food today. Can I pack one for you?"

A picture was sent over there soon.

The familiar small plaid floral tablecloth is decorated with four dishes and one soup. The chicken wings are bright in color, the cauliflower is green, the green onion and egg yolk is clear, and the warm light is shining under the lamp.

His eyes were fixed on it.

"See you downstairs in half an hour!"

Chen Yanxian had not answered for a long time, so Zhou Li treated it as his default and said this directly.

For a moment, he typing on the keyboard.

"Um."

After replying to the message, the figure standing there finally moved. Chen Yan looked a little unsteady and returned to his room with his schoolbag, took out the review textbook and spread it on the desk.

During the break of the test, he couldn't help but look at his phone. I don't know what time it was, a familiar shout came from downstairs.

The girl's crisp and loud voice ran through the entire residential building, and it was particularly clear through the windows.

He put down his pen and walked to the window. His smiling face was also bright under the hazy night. Zhou Li waved at him vigorously, and then pointed to the security door on the first floor.

After a while, the footsteps in the corridor sounded thumping. Chen Yanxian walked to the door slowly. When the knock sounded, he held the door handle and twisted it hard.

Zhou Li put it in under his arm like a fish, put the insulation box in his hand on the dining table, and opened the chair with a familiar door and a familiar way.

"Hurry, I'm here on a bicycle, and it's still warm."

Chen Yanxian stayed in place for two seconds and came slowly.

Zhou Li had already taken out all the food and spread it on the table.

A few simple home-cooked dishes were served in the box, emitting heat, and the cold house seemed to have a warmth.

He sat on the chair, lowered his head and looked a little tired, stretching out his knuckles and rubbing his nose.

"Don't you have many cars on the road? With your cycling skills, my aunt can rest assured to let you get on the road?"

Zhou Li had a poor sense of direction. At first, accidents occurred frequently when riding a bicycle. Later, her pink bicycle was taken away, and Zhou Sheng deprived her of the right to ride a bicycle.

"When did that happen?" Zhou Li was speechless.

“My level has risen sharply in the past two years—”

"Surge?" He raised his head and looked at her and asked.

Zhou Li was guilty and hesitated, "It soared to the point where he could ride short distances."

After she said that, she nodded to show her affirmation, "Yeah!"

Chen Yanxian: "..."

The living room is filled with the aroma of food, and the chopsticks occasionally hit the edge of the bowl, making a slight crisp sound.

Chen Yanxian lowered his head and ate, his movements were very quiet. Zhou Li sat opposite him and held his cheek with his hands, his eyes wandering uncontrollably, looking around.

"Have your parents not come back these days?"

"Yes." He focused on the food in the bowl and responded casually.

"Then you..." Zhou Li wanted to say something, her eyes slid down on his feet without being controlled, and she swallowed it back, feeling worried, and sighed deeply.

"Eat more." After a moment, she patted his head and looked loving, as if she was watching the abandoned puppy downstairs of her own house.

Chen Yanxian knew that her weird little brain was starting to think of something messy again, so he patted her hand away, impatient.

"Don't look at me with this expression." After saying that, he relaxed again.

"There are still pears in the kitchen that have not been eaten, so you can wash two of them yourself."

"Okay, obey the order!" Zhou Li liked eating pears the most. Hearing this, he got up and ran towards the kitchen. Chen Yanxian looked at her back and shook his head helplessly.

The sky turned from dark blue to dark black, and twilight fell, and lights began to light outside the window.

After Chen Yanxian finished eating, he washed the lunch box, reinstalled it and handed it to Zhou Li.

Without saying a word, he sent her downstairs. Zhou Li pushed out his small pink bicycle from a group of tall vehicles, placed the handbag containing the lunch box in the front frame of the car, and waved to say goodbye to him.

"Then I'll leave first."

"Ride slowly on the road, pay attention to the vehicle when turning." Chen Yanxian frowned slightly and indulged instructing him, Zhou Li nodded repeatedly.

"I know, I know."

She pushed the car forward, and was about to step on, and the devil turned around and looked back.

Under the dim street lights, the boy stood alone, his face hidden in the shadows and couldn't see it clearly. Behind him are chaotic vehicles. Each floor of the quiet residential building is lit with windows, full of human spirit.

Zhou Li remembered the house when she came out just now, and felt silent and lonely, without any affection that made people fall in love.

She sighed in her heart, put the car back on and walked forward, leaning into and hugging him in a slightly stunned look.

"My good friend gives you a hug of love." Zhou Li sighed and patted him on the shoulder.

Chen Yanxian felt inexplicably warmth. As soon as his fingers moved, he wanted to say something, Zhou Li had already let go of him, clenched his fists and hit him on his shoulder, with a serious tone.

"You must be strong and face life bravely and actively, do you know!"

The warmth that had just disappeared without a trace with her carefree movements. Chen Yanxian put away the curve of the corner of her mouth, held a flat face, and could not hear any fluctuations in the flat voice, so he directly issued the order to expel the guest.

"Zhou Li, you can leave now."

“…”

It was not until the girl's figure disappeared at the end of the road that Chen Yanxian turned around and walked upstairs with some difficulty. When he returned to the house again, the previous loneliness and coldness had obviously been dispersed a little.

He held his forehead with his hand and smiled unconsciously against his head.

Free, open, sincere and simple.

In terms of emotions, he is as dull as a fool, and can also be particularly sensitive to the sorrows and joys of others.

A complex of strange contradictions, a synonym for innocence and transparency.

Chen Yanxian remembers that he feels warm in his memory, and the few impressive pieces are all related to Zhou Li.

For example, today, and that birthday a few years ago.

Chen Yanxian had also had expectations for his parents, but that was a beautiful dream that he had only when he was young, just like he was fourteen years old.

Sitting from day to night in an empty house, the clock moved little by little to zero. The busy adult completely forgot about this day, which was extremely special for him, and even the secretary helped him answer the phone.

When the ten o'clock rings, he finally couldn't control himself and two tears fell from his red eyes.

He lowered his head and reached out to wipe it off. The landline at home rang out at this moment. Chen Yan's voice looked a little hoarse and only sent out one word.

"Hello."

"Chen Yanxian, are you crying?" He was not convinced on the other end of the phone. The crisp sound was still not childish. He felt embarrassed and gritted his teeth and wiped his eyes hard.

"without!"

"Oh..." She seemed to believe it, Chen Yanxi felt relieved, Zhou Li was always easy to fool.
