"What are you talking about?" You Zhao took the time off, very innocent, "I don't want to talk about anything other than love."

"..."

"You Zhao." Tang Heqian's tone was light, with a warning of danger.

You Zhao didn't seem to hear it, and said to himself, "Actually, you know that, right?"

Tang Heqian turned around and continued walking: "I don't know anything."

"Tang Heqian!" You Zhao hurriedly called him to stop, but didn't see him stop, "Why do you always ignore this question? You know it!"

He chased after him, unwilling to let go: "You clearly know what I mean, and you obviously have feelings for me, why don't you dare to face it squarely?"

After a long silence, Tang Heqian slowly stopped: "Next Friday is your birthday, I will arrange a banquet to announce your identity."

A sudden sentence made You Zhao stunned for a long time, his alcohol faded away, and his face turned pale.

"And then? Everyone will know about my kinship with you, and there will be no possibility between you and me?"

Tang Heqian lowered his eyes, hiding the surging emotions in his heart: "This will protect you from being bullied casually."

You Zhao interrupted him: "I won't go."

"obedient."

"That's not what I want." You Zhao took a deep look at him and said silently for three seconds.However, the pointer jumped five times and the opponent remained indifferent.

"I will never go."

Tang Heqian wanted to hold him back, but he dodged swiftly, and ran home angry.

It was really resentful to say that he was ignored again and again, but now that he made it clear, Tang Heqian still came to educate him like an adult.

You Zhao was about to become numb, his heart was pounding, he was going up and down, and he got used to the trembling a lot.

He actually wanted to talk to Tang Heqian again, and the two sat opposite each other, equal and calm, and spread the word out.No one is the elder, no one is older than the other, only two hearts willing to be honest.

As long as he can speak up, he doesn't care whether the ending is life or death.

When it was his birthday, You Zhao refused to go back no matter what he said, so he packed his things early and slipped out through the back door of the school.

As a birthday boy, he hides in disgrace, and dare not return home, it is really pitiful.The more You Zhao thought about it, the more he felt wronged. Finally, someone was able to celebrate his birthday, but he held a banquet with a different purpose where the protagonist would not appear.

The driver of the Tang family waited and waited for no one, so he hurriedly called the boss, but the boss was silent for a moment, and let them go back first.

You Zhao grabbed a few leftover cash and found a stall to eat noodles.As soon as I sat down, I received a call from Tang Heqian. Without thinking too much, I hung up and sent a text message, and then turned off the phone.

It’s been a long time since I’ve eaten anything from the school’s commercial street. The street here sells everything you need. Although the environment doesn’t look good, there are simple tents everywhere and only a small stall for business, but the taste is amazing. Not bad, good quality and cheap.

You Zhao had a part-time job here when he was a freshman, and he knew where every store was next to.But now that it has been updated, many familiar old stalls have changed owners, replaced by many new faces.

The road is still the same road, but its appearance has changed. You Zhao was in a hurry and found a lot of fun.

The stereo in the front kept vibrating, playing songs that were once popular, and several little girls took a look, as if they were attracted by something, and walked into the store together.

You Zhao passed by, not interested at first, but saw a girl holding an orange object with sharp eyes, which dazzled her a little.

He walked in by accident, it was a jewelry store, usually only girls would enter, but the owner was not surprised when he saw a handsome guy walking in.

You Zhao calmly pretended to be looking at the necklace, but his eyes couldn't help following the small earring.

The girl looked for several of them over and over, compared them, and hung the orange earring back.

You Zhao suddenly thought about doing something big on his birthday, so he called the shopkeeper: "Is it possible to get your ears pierced here?"

Earring shops usually offer ear piercing. Although it is not as professional and hygienic as a hospital, it is generally passable.

You Zhao didn't feel that he was unlucky, so he picked out the earring and asked the shopkeeper to make a hole in his earlobe.

After several times of disinfection, You Zhaocai felt relieved, but when the ear piercer was aimed at the designated position, he trembled nervously and froze in place.

The shopkeeper was afraid that he would hide if he was too nervous, and he would not get a good position, so he quickly comforted him: "Don't be afraid, it's just a moment, it doesn't hurt."

The girls on the side seemed to have never seen a boy get their ears pierced, so they surrounded him curiously.You Zhao gritted his teeth, closed his eyes and said, "Come on."

Soon, the silver needle quickly passed through the flesh of his earlobe, and after another second of pain, the orange orange earring remained securely on his earlobe.

"Is this really silver?" You Zhao touched his earlobe worriedly, a trace of pain spread to the base of the ear, although it was uncomfortable, it was not unbearable.

"It must be silver. If it's not silver, we wouldn't dare to wear it for you for the first time, so you can rest assured!" After collecting the money, the shopkeeper gave him a bottle of alcohol and cotton swabs.

You Zhao took a look in the mirror, and was very satisfied with the bright orange color added to the reddish wattle.

"Why don't you hit the other side as well? Finish it all at once, so you don't have to make another trip." The shopkeeper persuaded, "Anyway, you have a pair of earrings."

"No, no, no." You Zhao shook his head, evading, "Call first and check the situation, I have to sleep on my side, afraid of pain."

The shopkeeper didn't have much to say, he ordered a few words according to the usual practice, and took care of other business.

You Zhao was in a particularly comfortable mood, as if he had accomplished a major event in his life, challenged himself once, and had a somewhat mature mentality.

Here he silently put tattoos, bungee jumping, diving, skydiving, etc. on the schedule, but Tang Heqian over there was not so relaxed.

Announcing his identity in the name of a birthday party, but the protagonist failed to appear, this is really unreasonable.But Tang Heqian didn't take it seriously, he was able to deal with celebrities in the business world with ease, and only lightly announced the fact that the heir had been found, leaving many guesses for everyone present.

No matter how much he guessed, he could only gossip about Tang Heqian's serious and indifferent face.

Tang Heqian drank a lot of wine and seemed to take it calmly, but his mind was full of worries about You Zhao's safety outside.He didn't force You Zhao to come to this dinner party anymore, knowing that he turned a blind eye after he escaped, but he still couldn't let him wander around with peace of mind.

He only presided over half of the banquet, and just after half the time, he called Tang Chen to replace him, and he went home with the car.

When he entered the house, You Zhao was already watching TV, and he didn't say a word behind his back.

Tang Heqian sighed softly, arranged the birthday cake prepared in advance, and said weakly: "Zhao Zhao, come and eat the cake."

You Zhao glanced back at the cake, but didn't look at him, walked to the cake silently, picked up the knife and was about to strike.

Tang Heqian stopped: "Don't you light a candle and make a wish?"

You Zhao looked down at the cake: "Anyway, my wish is impossible to come true."

"..."

With the knife in his hand, the cake was cut in half, You Zhao only picked a small piece, and returned to the sofa with the dining plate in his hand.

Tang Heqian saw a touch of bright orange and asked, "Have you got your ears pierced?"

"Yeah, does it look good?" You Zhao deliberately rolled his ears in front of him.

Tang Heqian saw it clearly, it was an orange-shaped stud earring, a small one with tiny rhinestones on the side: "The quality is not very good, I will replace it with a better one for you later."

"Oh." You Zhao responded perfunctorily, blatantly.

"..." Tang Heqian frowned: "Do you have to talk like this?"

You Zhao turned to look at him, and said with a smile, "You have to be like this, and I have to be like that. To put it bluntly, we are all self-centered, it's okay."

Chewed slowly and finished that piece of cake, You Zhao touched his stomach, thinking he could eat another piece, but just as he was about to get up, his name was called suddenly behind him.

"You Zhao." Tang Heqian said in an unnatural voice, "You are still young."

"..." You Zhao was so angry that he choked, "Oh, are you very old?"

"..."

Seeing that Tang Heqian didn't speak any more, You Zhao sighed, and decided to say what he had been thinking for a long time: "Is there any causal relationship between love and age? Do you have to go through big storms to be worthy of talking about love? You usually invest, and there are risks." Don’t vote? Besides, you don’t need to worry about this risk. I’m so young, and you should be even more grateful that I can have more passion and spend more time with you, so I can make money without losing money.”

Tang Heqian looked at him with a complicated expression, without saying a word.

"If you think that I will have endless waves, jump over your world and go to another sky, don't worry about it, your world is too big, I need to walk for a lifetime. If you don't care, you put a lock on me and keep the key for yourself Think about it, when you miss me, kiss it, no matter how far the waves are, I will return to you immediately."

Tang Heqian struggled slightly: "Zhao Zhao..."

You Zhao continued without looking at it: "To tell you the truth, I have already considered applying to a French school, and I should start preparing for it after a while. Before I go, I want to know your answer. I hope you can put aside all identities Come and think about whether you like me or not."

You Zhao jumped over the sofa and put his arms around him: "Can you give me more trust, like I trust you?"

The breath was wrapped around the ear, a little itchy, and the orange earring was close at hand, emitting a gentle and warm light.

The heartfelt words, the undisguised affection in the eyes, and the warmth of the physical contact, were infinitely magnified in this instant.Tang Heqian became more and more shaken, he just wanted to keep time at this moment and keep this temperature forever.

You Zhao sighed, understanding his struggle, it's just that after so long, there should be a break.

During this period of time, their relationship was at a stalemate, one wanted to advance, the other wanted to retreat, and the distance was getting farther and farther. If this continues, only one person will surrender first.

"You don't have to doubt my sincerity, it has been true from the very beginning. But you ignore it again and again, ignore it, and now I doubt myself a little bit, whether I can make it stick."

He firmly pushed Tang Heqian away, as if he wasn't the one who took the initiative just now.

"I have to think about it." Tang Heqian's face was a little sad.

You Zhao nodded, but complained from the bottom of his heart, he had to think about it, why did he go so early?

The two of them didn't sleep much that night, You Zhao tossed and tossed and couldn't fall asleep, both anxious and looking forward to it.

And Tang Heqian sat in the office all night, contemplating until dawn.
