his story

After get off work, my colleague asked Yan Shu to have a dinner party. Yan Shu smiled and said that someone at home was waiting for him to go back to cook, so the colleague stopped reluctant, said that he would see you tomorrow, and got in the car and left.

Yan Shu went to the vegetable market to buy a la carte, and when he got home he worked in the kitchen for an hour, bringing out the fragrant three dishes and one soup. He took the empty plate and turned the dishes upside down to prevent the heat from escaping, and then sat at the table to eat The phone responded to several customer messages.

At seven o'clock, the door was knocked on time.

"What delicious food did Brother Shu cook today?" Lin Cheng ran to the dining table as soon as he entered the door, lifted the plate and exclaimed, "Hey, my favorite!"

As he said that, he grabbed a piece of sweet and sour pork ribs and stuffed it into his mouth. While exhaling, he gave Yan Shu a thumbs up: "Brother Shu, your craftsmanship is really excellent!"

Yan Shu smiled gently, filled the rice from the rice cooker and handed it to him, Lin Cheng started eating hard without saying a word.

After a meal, Lin Cheng belched contentedly on the sofa, Yan Shu went to the kitchen to wash the dishes, and washed the peaches he bought and put them on the coffee table.

"Peaches are quite sweet, try them."

Lin Cheng picked up one and took a big bite, then exclaimed with his usual exaggerated expression: "Well, how come the peaches Brother Shu picked are so delicious!"

Yan Shu laughed, and couldn't help poking his bulging cheek: "Don't act, eat well."

"Oh." Lin Cheng pursed his mouth aggrievedly, chewing with his cheeks moving.

Watching Lin Cheng eat is a kind of enjoyment, no matter what Yan Shu feeds, he can behave as if "there is such a delicious food in the world", which makes Yan Shu also have a strange sense of satisfaction.

They sat on the sofa and watched a domestic suspense movie. During the period, Lin Cheng had been analyzing who the real murderer was to Yan Shu. He spoke clearly and logically, but the result was exactly as he expected, which almost made him jump out of excitement. .

After watching the movie, it was almost time for Lin Cheng to go back to school. Their university is very strict, the dormitory has access control, and they have to go back before ten o'clock.

Yan Shu sent Lin Cheng to the gate of the community to wait for the last bus. Lin Cheng was still reminiscing and complaining about the plot of the movie: "The protagonist is so stupid, there are so many clues, and he can figure out who the murderer is by reasoning casually. He is still in a daze. It can be seen that the following plots are all for the sake of time!"

Yan Shu said persuasively: "We are God's perspective, and he is a fan of the authorities, so what he sees must be different."

Lin Cheng's face collapsed, and he became unhappy: "You help him speak, you don't help me."

Yan Shu didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "Why did I help him? He's just a fictional movie character."

"I don't care," Lin Cheng said, "I knew who the murderer was so long before him, but you still think he's better than me. I'm not happy."

Yan Shu took advantage of the situation to coax him: "I was wrong, you are better than him, a hundred times better."

"Then what do you think is better about me? Who is smarter, me or him?"

"you."

"Except for this? Who is more handsome?"

"you."

"Then..." Lin Cheng suddenly stopped joking, "Since I'm so nice, why don't you want to be with me?"

Under the warm yellow street lights next to the bus stop, Yan Shu looked into his clear and sincere eyes, and was speechless for a moment.

Yan Shu's silence made Lin Cheng's eyes gradually dim.

"Brother Shu, I really like you, can you like me too?" Lin Cheng whispered.

Yan Shu pursed his lips: "Lin Cheng, as I said before, you are still young..."

"You are only four years older than me!" Lin Cheng clenched his fist and shouted, "If you want to reject me, why not think of other excuses!"

Yan Shu was speechless.

"Really? Are you not tempted at all?" Lin Cheng's eyes began to moisten, "Then why do you take care of me so much? I don't believe that you only treat me as a younger brother, and I don't believe that you are so kind to everyone..."

The person in front of him was still murmuring his confession with tears in his eyes, Yan Shu asked himself, but he was not indifferent.

Lin Cheng choked: "It's been so long, Brother Shu, I've been relying on you, if you feel annoying, just tell me... I'm not that smart, even if you reject me, I will still think that as long as I stick to it You will like me, and one day I will wait for your response..."

"Lin Cheng." Yan Shu interrupted him and said, "I'm going on a business trip to City A for three days next week, and I'll give you an answer when I come back."

Lin Cheng was stunned for a moment, and a few gleams of joy burst out of his eyes: "Will it be good news?"

Yan Shu smiled slightly: "Maybe."

Lin Cheng said, "It must be!"

Lin Cheng approached in slow motion, but Yan Shu didn't dodge.He reached out and hugged him.

The night was quiet, except for the moths lingering persistently around the street lamps, making a slight knocking sound from time to time.

Lin Cheng let go of him, turned around and walked away pretending to be calm, Yan Shu only had time to catch a glimpse of his reddened face, which was clearly visible under the dim light.

Lin Cheng walked with his back to him and waved: "I, I'm going outside to take a taxi! Brother Shu, go back and rest!"

Yan Shu looked at his back, who was almost at the same hands and feet, and felt soft in his heart.

The original three-day business trip had to be extended to four days due to the change of the boss's itinerary, and it was already eight o'clock in the evening when Yan Shu returned to City Z by train.Yan Shu must admit that he misses Lin Cheng a little bit.He didn't even go home first. After getting into the taxi, when the driver asked him where he was going, he thought about it and reported the address of Lin Cheng's school.

He met Lin Cheng because of an accident.At that time, Lin Cheng sprained his foot and was limping along the road. Yan Shu was driving home after work. The road was not very spacious. Lin Cheng staggered and wobbled. The car body still just happened to wipe Lin Cheng's body, causing him to fall to the ground, Yan Shu hurriedly sent Lin Cheng to the hospital.

Lin Cheng said that he came here to go to university from another place, and he had no relatives, and Yan Shu believed that he was also responsible for his injuries. He often visited and took care of him during his hospitalization, and the two got acquainted with each other because of this.Yan Shu's second-hand car that caused the accident was also scrapped shortly afterwards. Lin Cheng once said with a smile that it was because he died after completing the mission of letting them meet.

It wasn't until Yan Shu arrived at the gate of Lin Cheng's school that he realized that he didn't know which dormitory building he lived in, and he was wearing a suit and carrying a briefcase, and he probably couldn't pass the security guard's nose pretending to be a student.

He took out his mobile phone to make a call to Lin Cheng, when suddenly he saw a familiar figure walking past him quickly out of the corner of his eyes.

That one seems to be Lin Cheng's classmate?I met him once before, it's called...Zhou Zhi?

Yan Shu chased after him, and just as he was about to say hello, Zhou Zhi put his phone to his ear: "Chengzi, have you booked a room at WISH yet? What room number? I can't hear you louder! 125? Okay?" , I see, I'll be right there."

After finishing speaking, Zhou Zhi had already stopped a taxi and sped away in the night.

Orange, do you mean Lin Cheng?

Yan Shu subconsciously decided to follow the past, so he also waved for a car.

After the driver sent Yan Shu to the place, he stepped on the accelerator and left quickly after collecting the money.Yan Shu looked at the flashing blue light in the dark, and probably understood the reason for the driver's strange expression after he gave the place name.

Yan Shu hesitated whether to go in or not.If Lin Cheng is really inside, will you be happy to see him?Although Lin Cheng said he likes him, his classmates may not know his sexual orientation. If his uninvited visit reveals something, one can imagine the exclusion and harm Lin Cheng will face.

But the store in front of him is in such a secluded alley, will Lin Cheng encounter danger in it?

I just went in to make sure that if it was safe for Lin Cheng and his classmates to be together, I would leave immediately, and I would not hinder his social interaction, just contact him tomorrow.

Yan Shu told himself this, but other thoughts besides this could not be restrained from popping up.

The light inside WISH was very dim. Yan Shu walked around inside for a long time but couldn't find Room 125. The eyes of people passing by made him very uncomfortable. Yan Shu was sweating in the stuffy space. A sign for restrooms and walked right in.

In the mirror, his forehead and temple hair were wet with sweat, and his face was flushed a little.Yan Shu washed his face with cold water and finally regained consciousness.

Stop thinking about it.

Yan Shu was going to leave, but he obviously went back the same way, but he went to another place, and the room numbers on both sides of the corridor began to approach his target number.

122, 123, 124, 125...

Yan Shu pushed open the door, and someone inside heard the movement, yelled at him, "clean up there quickly", then turned around and went back to continue chatting with the people around him, probably thinking him as the waiter here.

Yan Shu stood at the door, not knowing whether to advance or retreat at that moment.The light in the room was also very dark, only the square table on one side was lit with ambiguous light, five or six people were sitting around, and there were several empty wine bottles on the table.

There is melodious and soothing music playing in the corner, and the deep female voice is softly singing exotic tunes.Yan Shu saw Lin Cheng sitting there in a white T-shirt, with a half-smile on his face, a cigarette between his fingers, and his movements of rolling the dice were very sophisticated.

This kind of Lin Cheng made Yan Shu feel very strange, there was a voice in his heart urging him to leave here quickly, but his feet remained motionless as if they had taken root.Someone asked Lin Cheng: "Young master, have you had enough of your double-faced life? Are you still enjoying it? What's the point of pretending to be a good boy every day?"

"Because I enjoy it very much, the feeling of being treated as a life-saving straw." Yan Shu heard Lin Cheng's almost smug voice, "On the surface, I am chasing him, but the actual initiative is completely in my hands. You don't even know that he is desperate. How funny it is to please me."

"I'm going, so horny? How about playing?"

"I haven't got it yet," Lin Cheng cursed, "I thought I could finally have a good time last night, but I'm still on a business trip, and I'm so dedicated to my job!"

"Hey, what are you looking for in him? I don't understand. I heard that he is much older than you. How long has it been? Are you addicted to acting?"

Zhou Zhi said: "I met him once, he has a really good face, a good figure, and he looks too pure, you know, just this type of woman from a good family, I would spend time coaxing him to play Play."

"Hey, can you catch a lot of innocent-looking little boys now? It takes a lot of effort to throw a few tickets? Besides, with your young master's skills, you can clean up all the little ones in the circle, etc. It's on."

"You guys don't understand, can the taste of walking your heart be the same as walking your kidneys?"

"Young master, you are not pretending to be real, are you?"

"Oh, maybe." Lin Cheng sneered.

Yan Shu didn't know how he got out of here.He knelt on the side of the road, pinching his own neck and retching uncontrollably, his gastric juices flowed back, burning his throat, and the sour taste filled his entire mouth.

too disgusting.

The alarm clock rang at 06:30 the next morning. Yan Shu brushed his teeth, washed his face and made breakfast as usual. When he packed up and was ready to go out at 07:30, he found that his briefcase was gone.

There are still some materials in there, and it will be very troublesome if they are lost, but Yan Shu can't remember exactly when they lost them.He was a little anxious, and he searched the house but couldn't find it, thinking that he accidentally left it somewhere last night.

Yan Shu squatted beside the bed calmly, his head throbbing, as if being repeatedly crushed by a heavy object.

The doorbell rang suddenly, and Yan Shu shivered. As if feeling something, he slowly turned the doorknob with mechanical steps. As expected, it was Lin Cheng who appeared outside the door.He was still wearing a white T-shirt, with a smile on his lips, and Yan Shu's briefcase in his hand.

Lin Cheng said, "Brother Shu, you are too careless, here, here you are."

Yan Shu took it and said politely, "Thank you."

Lin Cheng watched Yan Shu silently, and after a few minutes of silence, he sighed and said, "Unfortunately, I still haven't been able to wait for your answer."

Yan Shu said nothing.

Lin Cheng scratched his temples, showing a troubled expression.His frowning look was as pure and innocent as ever, like a child who failed to get candy, and he said: "That's it, Brother Shu, I wish you a good life."

After a long time, facing the empty corridor, Yan Shu put on his shoes, closed the door, and pressed the elevator downstairs.

When he arrived at the company, the boss asked Yan Shu for the information he had given to Yan Shu at that time. Yan Shu opened the briefcase, which was empty.

"What? Missing?!"

"Yan Shu, I trust you to keep things for you. Do you know how much loss we will cause if those customer information gets to our competitors!"

"I can't do this well. If you can't find it today, you won't use it tomorrow! Get out now!"

Yan Shu left the boss's office and returned to his work station. All the colleagues around him cast inquiring glances at him, but no one dared to come forward to say hello.

After returning home at night, Yan Shu's WeChat received a message from Lin Cheng: "Brother Shu, why don't you take the initiative to come to me once?" followed by a crying emoji of a little rabbit.

Yan Shu directly deleted the message, and then pulled the person into the blacklist.

Lin Cheng's call arrived shortly thereafter.

After Yan Shu hung up, he called again. After repeated several times, Yan Shu pressed the answer button as if he compromised.

Lin Cheng said on the phone: "Brother Shu, come to WISH again, it's still 125, and I'll return the things to you."

He hung up the phone without waiting for Yan Shu's answer.

Yan Shu stared at the darkened phone screen in a daze for an unknown amount of time, then got up and went out.When he walked to the gate of the community, he saw Lin Cheng waiting at the bus stop.

"Brother Shu, you are so slow, I can't wait to come here by myself." Lin Cheng said with a smile, shaking a file bag in his hand, "Sorry Brother Shu, I borrowed it because I was a little curious. Take a look."

Yan Shu looked at him expressionlessly.

The smile on Lin Cheng's face also faded, and he said, "Yan Shu, you're actually quite boring."

"I live in fear all day, and I am always polite to everyone. Even if it really makes you angry, you don't dare to scold or hit you. You don't have any temper at all. What do you think is the point of living like this?"

"I asked about you before. You said that if you knew how to be flexible at that time, you wouldn't have failed to graduate from college. What's the use of guarding that poor self-esteem?"

"Take a few good words seriously, and if you coax you casually, you will pour out your heart and soul. You don't have to look at me like this, and I didn't do anything to you, did you? You are like a piece of wood. How many times have I hinted at you? It's very boring to pretend to be serious, you know?"

He listed Yan Shu's crimes word by word like an accusation, but his tone was careless.Finally, he concluded with disappointment: "Forget it, I won't play with you anymore."

Lin Cheng left, Yan Shu picked up the file bag he had thrown on the ground and returned home.

The bedroom lights were on all night.
