you managed to get my attention

"Good night."

Zhou Jianjun responded to Qiao Lie. In fact, he was looking for the thermal underwear that Qiao Lie gave him last year, and wanted to wear it for Qiao Lie tomorrow.

But I couldn't find it for a while, forget it, Qiao Lie bought the new one this year, so Qiao Lie can wear it.

Zhou Jianjun turned off the light and lay down under the blanket.

It's just that he didn't fall asleep for a long time.

With the help of the street lamp outside, Zhou Jianjun caught a glimpse of Qiao Lie's face lying beside him.

Qiao Lie is good-looking, a little softer than the average man's good-looking, but not particularly feminine.

"Hey..." Zhou Jianjun sighed, carefully took out his mobile phone, opened the browser, and found topics related to homosexuality.

In fact, Zhou Jianjun is a conservative person. He knows that there are people who like the same sex in society, but he has never appeared around him.

He never thought that not only did he appear now, but also Qiao Lie?

Qiao Lie is so obedient, how could he... suffer from such a disease?

Is homosexuality a disease?Can it be treated?

Type in these questions, and the answers you get basically say that it is not a disease and does not need treatment, but that the sex of the object you like is different.Animals of the same sex can be together, why can't humans?He didn't do anything outrageous, and gay marriage abroad is already legal.

Is it already legal?Zhou Jianjun was taken aback for a moment, he really didn't know much about these things, so he scrolled down and found that it was really legal, it seems that he was ignorant.

There was a bang of firecrackers outside, and the old-fashioned wall clock in the living room beeped and began to tell the time.

At twelve midnight, the new year begins again.

The sound of firecrackers was very loud, and Qiao Lie, who had already fallen asleep, became uneasy, turned over, and threw himself directly into his arms, while frowning.

"Qiao Lie?" Zhou Jianjun called out to him, and he murmured in a daze, and then there was no movement.

Keeping leaning on the bedside table, ignoring Qiao Lie who was around his waist, Zhou Jianjun touched the cigarette and lighter on the bedside table, smoked one silently, and then lay back in the bed.

On the first day of the new year, the outside was covered with snow, and the snow fell unusually last night.

When Qiao Lie was in a daze, he was almost blinded by the white outside the window, touched the bed, he was alone, Zhou Jianjun must have been up for a long time.

After changing clothes and leaving the room, Zhou Weiguo was alone on the sofa holding a teacup and continued to review last night's Spring Festival Gala.

"Where's Brother Jianjun?" Qiao Lie scratched his hair and asked.

"Oh, he went to your Uncle Wang's house to pay New Year's greetings. By the way, breakfast is in the pot. Your brother asked you to finish eating and wait for him to come back. I have something to tell you."

"Okay." Why didn't Zhou Jianjun ask him to go with him?Did you discover something?

Also, what exactly are you going to tell him?

Qiao Lie finished his breakfast in doubt. Not long after, Zhou Jianjun came back, looked very cold, rubbed his hands, took out a red envelope from his pocket and handed it to Qiao Lie:

"Uncle Wang gave it to you."

Probably a "return gift" for yesterday's gift.Qiao Lie took the red envelope, but before he put it back in his pocket, Zhou Jianjun called him to the balcony.

After entering the balcony, the space outside was dry and cold. Qiao Lie shivered and rubbed his arms.

Zhou Jianjun naturally lit a cigarette, glanced at Qiao Lie, and asked:

"Do you smoke?"

"No, I don't smoke."

"Well, I want to tell you something." Zhou Jianjun took a sip of the cigarette in his hand, Qiao Lie kept staring at his lips, the white smoke spread from Zhou Jianjun's thin lips, so sexy that it exploded.

Qiao Lie swallowed subconsciously.

"I think, leave the army next year and come back to work."

"Ah? No, brother, what did you say?" Qiao Lie thought he had heard it wrong, and quickly turned to look at Zhou Weiguo in the room to confirm whether he heard it, and then asked quickly:

"No, brother, does uncle know such a big decision?"

"I don't know, it's just my idea. Don't tell my dad for now, so I won't be back this year for Chinese New Year."

It has to be said that Qiao Lie was still a little excited when he heard Zhou Jianjun said that he was leaving the army, but why did Zhou Jianjun suddenly make such a big decision?

"Brother, can I ask why?"

Qiao Lie asked carefully.

"The old man is getting old, and he can't live without someone to take care of him. I have to come back." Zhou Jianjun seemed to have been planning for a long time.

Qiao Lie hurriedly said:

"Actually, you don't need to do this. I can take care of Uncle too. Aren't Xue Hong and Ninth Brother only serving as conscripts for two years?" Qiao Lie didn't quite understand Zhou Jianjun's thoughts, but Zhou Jianjun just smiled and rubbed Qiao Lie's head, said:

"Although the old man doesn't say it in his heart, he definitely wants me to do it, but don't say it for now. I just have this plan, and I haven't thought about the specific implementation yet. Okay, let's go into the house."

The cigarette in Zhou Jianjun's hand was not finished, so he took it to the living room and extinguished it in the ashtray.

In fact, Qiao Lie still felt a little baffled, why did Zhou Jianjun suddenly tell him this matter?

However, as soon as he thought that Zhou Jianjun might come back next year, he felt so happy, so he didn't think about anything else.

Zhou Jianjun's annual leave is very short this time, and he will leave on the third day of the new year.

The snow on the night of New Year's Eve has not completely melted, and people are about to leave.

Zhou Jianjun's luggage has been packed, and he is going to the station to take a bus.

Originally, Qiao Lie offered to drive him directly, but he refused, saying that the slippery road was not safe.

In the end, Wang Changchun and Qiao Lie sent Zhou Jianjun to the station.

Wang Changchun also brought souvenirs that his mother asked to bring to Zhou Jianjun's house.

Stuffed sausages, salted duck eggs, salted fish, bacon, and croquettes made by Wang Changchun's mother Liu Chengmei, stuffed into a large bag.

"I told her not to do it, but she insisted on doing it, saying that you wouldn't come back several times a year. You can take it with you if you have any kindness from my mother."

Wang Changchun felt that the thing in his hand was really heavy, so he put it on the ground.

Zhou Jianjun thanked him with a smile, then looked at Qiao Lie, and said:

"I'm a little thirsty, can you buy me a bottle of water, I can also drink it in the car."

"Oh, okay brother, wait for me."

Zhou Jianjun deliberately sent Qiao Lie away, but Qiao Lie didn't notice.

Wang Changchun looked hesitantly at Qiao Lie's leaving back, then at Zhou Jianjun, with question marks all over his face.

"When I'm away, help me to take a look at Qiao Lie. Don't let him get too close with strange men. If so, call me as soon as possible."

"No, no, brother Jianjun, what does this mean?" Wang Changchun felt that the amount of information in these words was really too much.

"Literally, don't tell Qiao Lie what I tell you."

After Zhou Jianjun finished speaking, Wang Changchun was about to ask more questions, but Qiao Lie, who bought water, came back.

The topic ended like this, Qiao Lie excitedly handed Zhou Jianjun the water he bought, and then sent Zhou Jianjun to the bus.

After Zhou Jianjun's car disappeared, Qiao Lie remembered to ask Wang Changchun:

"What did Brother Jianjun tell you when I went to buy water just now?"

"It's nothing. Let's just say that they have all gone to the army. We are the only childhood playmates left. Let me take good care of you and Uncle Zhou at the same time." .

Although Qiao Lie was a little puzzled, he also thought that Zhou Jianjun said so.

Anyway, it's only been a little over a year, and Zhou Jianjun should be able to come back by the time of the Chinese New Year next year.

At that time, it was time for Zhou Jianjun and Xue Hong to serve as two-year volunteers.

However, Qiao Lie never expected that something would happen to Zhou Jianjun on the second day after Zhou Nanjiu and Xue Hong's two-year conscription period expired.
