"……I like you."

The moment the gods fall from the clouds, to the mortal world, to the dust.

Xiao Chen looked up at him expressionlessly, his heart was as calm as dead, and he couldn't say a word.

No exam has ever been more thrilling and exciting than this one. As a perennial top student, Zhou Rongyu has never faced such a moment of anxiety.At this moment, he intuitively felt that his pupils shrank a little.

Just say it!Actually, it really came out!Not dreaming back at midnight, not thinking about it day after day, but really saying it? !Confess directly to the parties!

"I was standing in that wheat field, and I saw you right away. I, I suddenly had a feeling at that time," Zhou Rongyu stared at Xiao Chen intently, "You are different from others."

"Huh? What do you think I'm doing," Xiao Chen asked back with a half-smile, "Where's your girlfriend?"

"I saw you. Iseeyou.【Note 1】"

Xiao Chen didn't believe it at all.Such a long time ago, didn't it come over without any disturbance at that time, so where are the old accounts going now?

"At that time, I didn't really believe it... I didn't know until I graduated and separated from you completely. I missed you all the time. I wanted you to be with me. But then you disappeared, and no one asked I didn’t hear from you, and there were strangers living in your house, that’s when I really panicked. I looked for you everywhere, even,” Zhou Rongyu peeked at Xiao Chen, “I found your parents’ cemetery, I ran there to wait for you. I have no other intentions, Xiao Chen, I just want to find you. On Qingming Festival and other days, I will go and have a look. Tell your parents I want to be with you and hope they don't reject me. Give me one more chance and I will never give up."

Speaking of which, Xiao Chen finally understood the reason why the tombstone looked so clean.

But so what?My heart was empty, as if there was nothing, and I could hear the whistling sound when there was a gust of wind.I have no intention of turning back, and no reason to turn back.He thought, if you refused to come when I needed you most, then there would be no need to come again in the future.

"Thank you for taking care of my parents these past few years." Xiao Chen said seriously, "But I don't think it is possible for us to be together."

"Why not?"

"Missed is missed. Why else?"

"No," Zhou Rongyu shook his head, "We were not together at the beginning, precisely because we needed more experience to fill ourselves. If we were too young, we would make mistakes and be impulsive, and we would go to a future that we cannot turn back. Now Wasn't the timing good enough as we avoided the unpleasant possibility of immaturity?"

I have to say, these few words are so reasonable, Xiao Chen felt as if he was persuaded.

"Why don't you give it a try? Why don't you take this step? Give me a chance too, can't you?"

Xiao Chen was silent.

Just because that person's words sounded correct, Xiao Chen was analyzing calmly and rationally.If it was my young self, I would definitely agree to it on a whim.Fortunately, he has grown up, and after thinking about it carefully at this moment, he quickly grasped the key point.

"No, Zhou Rongyu, we weren't together back then. It wasn't because you were young and needed training. It was because you didn't intend to be with me at all. Don't make excuses for yourself. I'm not you who come and go when you want to. I don’t have any obligation to cooperate with you. I don’t need you, it used to be, and it’s the same now.”

After finishing speaking, Xiao Chen turned around and left, his wrist tightened suddenly.This is the first time they have touched each other in several years.The place where he was touched was scalding hot, making his heart ache.

"I need you, Xiao Chen. I need you." Zhou Rongyu's voice revealed a hint of pleading.

Just when he was about to say something, the phone rang suddenly.Zhou Rongyu looked down at the name, and could only connect frantically.

"What? What's the problem with that project?! Let Xiao Shen answer it for him! I don't care!" After listening for a while, he finally gritted his teeth, "Okay, I'll send it to him right away."

Xiao Chen broke free from his wrist, took one last look at him, and left.At that glance, there seemed to be a slight smile of relief, but also a little bit of frustration.Zhou Rongyu had no way to catch up with him, so he could only watch him disappear into the crowd, and hurried to the company.

Xiao Chen nestled in his room to clean up in the afternoon.In fact, there is nothing to clean up. When I rented it out to others, I have no personal belongings.The tenant moved quite empty when he left, leaving only the furniture and unused bedding left by Xiao Chen.Xiao Chen carefully checked the rental contract again, and after confirming that there was nothing wrong, he went to the supermarket to buy vegetables.In the evening, he cooked two dishes for himself, opened a movie on his laptop and watched it while eating.

It doesn't seem to be much different from when I was in school.

A large number of starships on the screen are gathering, and the flames of the propellers merge into a dazzling river among countless stars.Until now, Xiao Chen had no time to think about Zhou Rongyu.

If you do this yourself, it is a complete rejection.

Halfway through eating, the doorbell rang.

Guessing it was Zhou Rongyu, Xiao Chen got up and went to open the door.Although they didn't promise to be together, they had already agreed that he would stay tonight.The so-called business is not righteous, at least they are still landlords and tenants, so there is no need for stalemate.

"Can I have a meal?" Zhou Rongyu sniffed with his nose, and Zhou Rongyu showed a look of a large dog begging for adoption.

Probably because he has never seen such a pitiful top student, Xiao Chen said sympathetically, "Come on."

It was just a matter of adding another pair of bowls and chopsticks, but soon, Xiao Chen couldn't eat anymore.It would be awkward for anyone to be stared at while eating.He put down his chopsticks. "When are you going to see it?"

"Look at the food and eat it, it tastes better."

what the hell.

But... there's nothing annoying about it.After eating, Zhou Rongyu took the initiative to wash the dishes.Xiao Chen was happy to be at leisure, nestled on the sofa and watched a movie with his laptop in his arms.It didn't take long for the guy to lean over and talk to him.

"You rented out the house, where do you live?"

"dormitory."

"Is it the same before? You have been living in the company dormitory?"

"Correct."

"Where... are you working now?"

"It's not in City A anyway."

"Why don't you look for a job here?"

Because I don't want to see you.Thinking about this sentence in his head, Xiao Chen didn't say it.He knew very well that he still liked Zhou Rongyu, but he just didn't want to see him and that woman appear at the same time.Xiao Chen didn't need such an angry tone, nor did he want to deliberately explain, so he chose to remain silent.

Zhou Rongyu suddenly said, "I'm sorry."

"What kind of apology are you doing?"

"I wasn't there for you when you needed me."

you know too?Xiao Chen felt a dull pain in his left chest.He told himself that this was a good thing, that it would hurt, and it would prove that he was still alive.

"You've been avoiding me."

This is a fact, and Xiao Chen can neither deny nor refute it.

"Now can you stop avoiding me?" Zhou Rongyu moved closer, "I know what I missed, and I don't want to miss it anymore. I like you."

Xiao Chen flipped the notebook on his lap and made a soft "pop", and the soundtrack of the movie stopped abruptly. "Zhou Rongyu, what do you think 'like' is?"

"It's 'Whyisar□□enlikewritingdesk'【Note 2】"

The answer is obvious.Opening his mouth, Xiao Chen still wanted to say something.Suddenly, Zhou Rongyu leaned over and blocked his lips without warning.

Faced with the tip of his tongue eagerly sliding in along the teeth, Xiao Chen half wanted to back away and half wanted to meet him. In the end, the tongues of the two collided and churned together, making one completely lose the ability to think.

It's a kiss.It's never happened before, I haven't even imagined it, but it seems to be dormant for many years, and suddenly it burns up, and the flames rush to the sky, so hot that I don't know what to do.Can't fool anyone.

When he woke up, Xiao Chen found himself hugging Zhou Rongyu's neck, and his whole body was pressed on the sofa by the other party.The man's breath was too strong and strong, and somewhere in his heart couldn't help trembling.Panting, he clasped Zhou Rongyu's shoulder with one hand, and slowly covered his mouth with the other.

"Xiao Chen, whether you believe me or not," Zhou Rongyu's voice was a little vague, "This is liking."

When he woke up in the other party's arms the next day, Xiao Chen couldn't help hissing as soon as he moved.Although it was washed clean, but the waist... almost broke... this bastard...

Just as he was thinking, the instigator's hand was immediately wrapped around his waist, and he massaged the hot palm tightly and thoughtfully.

"Does it hurt?" Just after waking up, Zhou Rongyu's nasal voice was so sexy.

Recalling all the absurdities of last night, Xiao Chen's face instantly turned red.

He made it to the end without any rejection at all!What about your own principles? !Thinking of this, a warm feeling rose in his heart and slowly flowed through his blood vessels. He knew that it was the feeling of years of dreams coming true.

After all, I still like it...

Zhou Rongyu looked at Xiao Chen, lowered his head slowly, and planted a soft kiss on his cheek.To be able to wake up in the morning light with this man in his arms, he truly feels alive.It's never the same as any previous day.in the arms
