After that night, Chen Xing didn't stay up all night again, and obediently got into Zhou Chen's arms at eleven o'clock in the evening, turned off the light and went to sleep, but the daytime was busier than before.

The night before Chen Xing's birthday, Zhou Chen was on duty. The first thing he did when he got up in the morning was to touch his phone. Sure enough, Zhou Chen sent him happy birthday on time in the early morning.He sat on the bed and hesitated for a while, then called Zhou Chen.

Zhou Chen's voice was a little hoarse after he didn't close his eyes all night: "Wake up."

"Well, I just woke up, when are you coming back?"

"I'll be back after eight o'clock, happy birthday, I love you, I love you very much, I love you the most."

Chen Xing raised his hand and rubbed his hair twice, grinning, "I love you too."

It wasn't until he went downstairs that he realized why Zhou Chen had said a love story just now. It was snowing, and flakes of snowflakes were falling. It might have started to fall in the middle of the night. At this moment, a thick layer had accumulated on the road. Go up and creak.

It's the first of this year.

After Zhou Chen and his colleagues finished their shifts, they went to a supermarket on the roadside and bought a bag of bread. After finishing eating at the entrance of the supermarket, they took out their mobile phones and made a call.

"Hello, Master Wang, I'm Zhou Chen, and I made an appointment with you yesterday."

The male voice on the phone was thick and rough: "Oh, I know, when are you coming?"

"Can I go there now?"

"Okay, I'll send the address to your phone."

Zhou Chen arrived at an old residential area according to the address on the text message. He stood at the door on the right side of the first floor, raised his hand and knocked on the door. ,Are you there?"

Wang Ye shouted from inside: "You come in directly, the door is not closed."

Zhou Chen opened the door and went in. The room was not big, but it was very clean. A tall, middle-aged man came out of the bathroom, wearing only a vest, with strange tattoos on his arms and shoulders, and pointed The sofa said to Zhou Chen, "Sit there."

Zhou Chen nodded, walked over and sat on the sofa, Wang Ye sat down at the other end of the sofa, took a pack of cigarettes from under the coffee table, opened them, and asked Zhou Chen, "Do you smoke?"

Zhou Chen smiled and shook his head, "Thank you, no need."

Wang Ye took out a cigarette, bit it in his mouth, lit it, took a few puffs and asked Zhou Chen with the cigarette in between, "Where is the tattoo?"

Zhou Chen said, "On your back."

Wang Ye dusted off the cigarette ash, laughed twice and said, "It's okay, the tattoos on the back don't hurt, but some people have tattoos on the ankles and collarbone, it looks good, but it hurts."

Zhou Chen smiled and said nothing, Wang Ye got up and walked to the door of the room on the right of the bathroom, opened the door and said to Zhou Chen, "Take off your clothes, go up and lie down, I'll wash my hands."

When Zhou Chen entered the room, a single bed and a stool were placed in the room. The bed was covered with a layer of sponge cushions and a white sheet.Zhou Chen took off his coat and sweater, and lay down on the bed.

Wang Ye came in after a while, holding a bunch of tools in his hand, and sitting beside the bed while pulling a stool.

"What color do you want?"

Zhou Chen turned to him and asked, "What color lasts the longest?"

Wang Ye smiled and said, "It's black, other colors will turn black after a long time."

"Then black."

"Just a few words?"

"Well, just a few words."

Chen Xing didn't go home at noon, so he ate lunch outside for fear of disturbing Zhou Chen.The snow stopped at noon, and it started to fall again at night when school was over. Chen Xing walked out of the school gate and saw Zhou Chen standing under the dim street lamp, covered in snowflakes, the tip of his nose was red with cold, and the light streamed into his eyes. Here, three points of tenderness, seven points of joy, and ten points of love.

Around Zhou Chen's neck was the same scarf as Chen Xing. He was wearing a windbreaker and standing in the snow. Standing under the street lamp, he smiled at Chen Xing. Killed him.

Chen Xing ran and threw himself into Zhou Chen's arms, Zhou Chen took two steps back, hugged Chen Xing's shoulder and smiled.

He said, "Go out and play."

Chen Xing looked up at him, "Where are you going?"

Zhou Chen took Chen Xing's hand and put it in his pocket, "Bar, I'll buy you a drink."

Chen Xing was led into the "wood forest" by Zhou Chen. Zhou Chen pulled Chen Xing to sit in front of the bar and said to Chen Xing, "Wait for me."

Chen Xing supported his head and watched Zhou Chen talking to the bartender beside him. After a while, Zhou Chen turned around and smiled at Chen Xing, and walked into the bar from the side of the bar.

Zhou Chen took off his coat and scarf, and he only wore a round-neck gray sweater underneath, which was the one Chen Xing wore when he came to the bar that day.

The lights of the bar started to flicker, Chen Xing couldn't get used to it all of a sudden, his eyes narrowed slightly.During the alternation of light and darkness, Zhou Chen walked up to him, smiled at him across the long table and said, "I'll buy you a glass of wine."

Zhou Chen was holding a bottle of wine in his hand, without the common movement of throwing wine bottles in the air in bars. There was a row of wine glasses in front of him. His movements were clean and neat, with the mouth of the bottle slightly downward, and his right hand walked steadily over the wine glasses , the bottom of each cup was covered with a layer of light pink. He lowered his head slightly, and the back of his neck was a smooth and beautiful line. The half-light seemed sexier than the night. When he looked at Chen Xing, his eyes were bright and focused. A shattered light froze in his eyes.

Zhou Chen shook the glass casually, while Chen Xing watched the wine in the glass throw an arc in the air, and they all fell into the same glass.

When it was over, there were three or four different wine bottles in his hand, and the light turned back to dim yellow. Zhou Chen pushed the only glass with wine in front of him to Chen Xing who was stupefied, "Please drink."

Chen Xing stared blankly at Zhou Chen, surrounded by many people, and someone urged him, "Hurry up and drink."

Chen Xing picked up the cup and took a sip. It tasted completely different from what he drank last time. It was cool and slightly sweet, not like wine, but more like a drink.

Zhou Chen propped his hands on the table and asked with a smile, "Is it bitter?"

Holding the empty wine glass with two fingers, Chen Xing shook his head vigorously: "It's not bitter, it's very sweet."

Zhou Chen picked up his coat from the side and put it on, walked out from the side, stood in front of Chen Xing and put on a scarf, bent slightly and looked at Chen Xing, "It's fine if it's not bitter, drink the wine, let's go home."

Standing on the ground with his toes, Chen Xing supported Zhou Chen's shoulder and quickly kissed Zhou Chen on the face, "Let's go, go home."

Not long after he walked out of the bar, Chen Xing started to feel dizzy. Holding Zhou Chen's shoulders, he began to walk in a vain manner. He hurriedly patted Zhou Chen's shoulder, "Hurry up, Zhou Chen, I'm going to get drunk."

Zhou Chen stretched his arms around Chen Xing's waist, with a smile that couldn't be hidden in his eyes, "Well, I know."

Chen Xing broke away from Zhou Chen's hand on his waist, grabbed Zhou Chen's neck and began to climb up Zhou Chen's back, with obvious grievances in his voice: "Why don't you carry me on your back?"

Zhou Chen stood upright, Chen Xing couldn't hang on Zhou Chen, so he just slipped down holding Zhou Chen's thigh, and sat down on the ground, Zhou Chen bent down to pull Chen Xing, but Chen Xing threw his arm away.Chen Xing hugged Zhou Chen's legs and did not let go, he asked in a rambling manner, "Why don't you carry me?"

Zhou Chen looked down at Chen Xing's aggrieved eyes, couldn't help laughing, "You want me to carry you?"

"Yeah." Chen Xing nodded earnestly.

"Call husband."

Chen Xing looked up at Zhou Chen, his cheeks were puffy, and his eyes were glistening, which made Zhou Chen's heart tremble fiercely.He narrowed his eyes and smiled, and softly called "husband",

Zhou Chen suppressed the restlessness in his heart, and said in a low voice, "Then act like a baby to your husband, okay?"

Chen Xing tilted his head and thought for a while, then gently shook Zhou Chen's leg and said, "Uncle, please love me."

Zhou Chen bent down and stretched his arms to pull him up and hugged him in his arms. Chen Xing smiled with his eyes closed, and suddenly heard Zhou Chen whispering in his ear: "Then lie under uncle tonight, okay?"

Chen Xing only felt that his ears were hot and itchy, so he nodded indiscriminately.Zhou Chen chuckled in his ear a few times, and said, "Then don't blame uncle for the pain when you wake up tomorrow morning, okay?"

Chen Xing put his chin on Zhou Chen's shoulder and just nodded indiscriminately, not knowing what Zhou Chen said.

"Hey, uncle doesn't carry it, so hug it, okay?"

Chen Xing shook his head violently, "No, I have to recite it."

Zhou Chen bent slightly and put his hands on Chen Xing's legs, hugged him in his arms, and said with a smile: "Uncle's back hurts a little, I'll carry it tomorrow, how about holding it today?"

Chen Xing struggled in his arms a few times, and asked anxiously, "Where does it hurt? Let me take a look."

"Let's see when we go home."

Zhou Chen was already sweating when he carried him home. He put Chen Xing on the sofa and took off his clothes. Chen Xing looked at him in a daze, and reached out to touch Zhou Chen's face, "Zhou Chen, it's you."

Zhou Chen lowered his head to untie Chen Xing's belt, smiled and said, "Well, it's me."

Chen Xing muttered, "Just now a pervert asked me to call him husband."

Zhou Chen: "..."

Chen Xing laughed silly twice, "But don't worry, I didn't call."

Chen Xing looked at his bare legs, and asked anxiously: "Why are my pants missing? Zhou Chen, quickly find my pants, did that pervert steal my pants?"

Zhou Chen: "...he is not a pervert."

Chen Xing nodded blankly, "Oh, so are you?"

"I'm not either, I'm your husband, and I'm Zhou Chen."

"Why are you taking off my clothes?"

Zhou Chen carried him to the bathroom, "Take a shower."

Sitting in the bathtub naked, Chen Xing watched Zhou Chen take off his clothes, and hurriedly asked Zhou Chen as if remembering something, "Let me see your back."

Zhou Chen turned around, took off his sweater with his back to Chen Xing, turned his head and asked Chen Xing: "Did you see it?"

Chen Xing only vaguely saw some black squares on the left side of Zhou Chen's back, but couldn't make out what they were.Zhou Chen took a step back and asked again, "Do you see clearly now?"

Chen Xing squinted his eyes for a long time, reading intermittently: "I...love...what Chen Xing, what are these?"

Zhou Chen turned around and held Chen Xing's finger, with a gentle and low voice:

"The person I love, his name is Chen Xing.

Willing to be worthy of virtue, hand in hand.

Not being able to fly makes me perish. "

Chen Xing was silent for a long time, then raised his head and asked Zhou Chen, "Why can't I understand?"

Zhou Chen took off his underwear and stepped into the bathtub, pulled Chen Xing to sit on his lap, kissed the back of Chen Xing's neck and said softly, "You will understand when you get up tomorrow morning."

When Chen Xing fell asleep, his whole body seemed to be falling apart. He was sore and hurt. He reached for the mobile phone by the bedside, and Zhou Chen moved behind him, and asked in a hoarse voice, "Are you awake?"

Chen Xing opened his mouth and said two words, his voice was hoarse and hoarse. After listening, Zhou Chen lay on his shoulder and laughed non-stop, covered his eyes with his palm, and turned on the light.

After a while Zhou Chen put down his hand, Chen Xing called Zhou Chen, his voice was still hoarse and ugly, Zhou Chen hugged him and laughed non-stop, Chen Xing also knew why his voice became like this, and said sullenly: " Laugh ass."

Zhou Chen stopped laughing and asked, "Does your body hurt?"

"pain."

"Blame me."

Chen Xing covered his face in the quilt, and vaguely remembered last night in the bathroom, Zhou Chen's back, he hurriedly lifted the quilt, the two of them were not wearing anything.

"Turn around and let me see your back."

Zhou Chen looked at Chen Xing and just smiled, Chen Xing simply stepped over Zhou Chen and went around Zhou Chen's back. He was stunned after only one glance, and Zhou Chen let him see enough with his bare back.

After a long while, Chen Xing finally spoke, his voice was so low that he could barely hear, "Zhou Chen, are you stupid? How dare you tattoo your body if you are so strong?"

I hope that my words and deeds can be worthy of you and work hand in hand with you.If I can't stay together for a long time, then I would like to fall into love sorrow until the end of my life.

Zhou Chen turned around and stretched out his hand to pull Chen Xing into his arms, "Didn't you say that I don't have your mark on me, now I have it."

Chen Xing put his arms around Zhou Chen and said depressedly: "I'm just talking casually, who knows that you really got a tattoo."

Zhou Chen smiled, "Then I don't care, I take it seriously."

"You don't even know how to tattoo other words, not these two sentences."

Zhou Chen hugged Chen Xing even tighter, smiled and said: "I used to think that one day I met someone I like, how should I treat him, at that time, I thought, I will Be sure to do all the things a couple in love should do with him, and tell him how much I like him in various ways, such as tattooing his name on the body like those crazy teenagers, giving him The strongest love. I saw these two sentences for the first time. I was just 16 years old. I couldn’t understand. You have to like someone more to say such words. Now I am 22 years old and I have someone I like. I suddenly understood that when love is extreme, separation is more painful than death."

Chen Xing was speechless, and loosened and tightened his hand holding Zhou Chen. Of course he knew that Zhou Chen liked him very much. He tried his best to think about it, but he still didn't expect that he liked him so much more than he thought. Much more.

After a long time, Chen Xing asked, "How do you know how to mix wine?"

"Worked in a bar when I was in college."

Chen Xing whispered: "Don't make drinks for others in the future, you know?"

Zhou Chen nodded, "Yes, I know."

Chen Xing asked again: "Did I do nothing when I was drunk last night?"

Zhou Chen's eyes curled up as he hugged Chen Xingxiao, "No, very good."

Chen Xing breathed a sigh of relief, "That's good."

"I'm not around in the future, don't drink, you know?"

"Ah."

"Zhou Chen, rub my waist, it hurts."

Zhou Chen rubbed Chen Xing's waist, and asked with a smile, "Does it only hurt in the back? Does it hurt in other places?"

"you shut up."

The author has something to say: Look, Zhou Chen is playing hooligans with Chen Xing...
