awkward

Ye Mu didn't bring an umbrella, and when he returned home from the winter snow, his down jacket was already soaked, and his exposed skin was almost purple from the cold.

The apartment was dark and silent, and through the faint moonlight, it could be seen that the hands of the clock had already pointed to one o'clock in the morning, but there was still no sign of anyone returning.

Putting on his shoes with a stiff body, he walked slowly to the living room and poured himself a cup of hot water to warm his hands.

The temperature was transmitted through the white porcelain cup surface, and the fingertips were gradually released from the numb and cold state, but the slender fingers remained curled up and did not relax.

It was still raining and snowing outside the window, and the white ice was raging on the road. Ye Mu turned his head to look, and there was a hint of worry in his eyes unexpectedly.

Although it didn't feel good to be let go, especially since it was the first date for the two to go to the movies, but compared to these, he was obviously more worried about Chen Mo's safety.

After pondering for a while, he took out his cell phone from his pocket and made another call.A few seconds after pressing the call button, there was a sudden sound of unlocking the door.

Looking up, it was Chen Mo.

The young man stood in the shadows with his head bowed, his broad silhouette covered the floor in a black crow, and he looked not in a very good mood and even a little depressed.

Ye Mu frowned slightly, moved his lips and said, "Why are you back so late?" His intuition told him that the other party would not do this for no reason, and something must have happened.

Chen Mo looked up at him, with a slightly guilty expression on his face, and said hoarsely, "Have you been waiting for a long time?"

He came back before he found anyone in front of the cinema, but looking at the wet stains on the man's coat, he could deduce that he had just returned home.

Ye Mu walked over and handed him a cup of hot water, with a dull expression, he said lightly: "Fortunately, we won't wait until twelve o'clock."

Chen Mo took it with his head down, his broken hair made his expression a little unclear, "I'm sorry, there was a major traffic jam on the expressway, so I couldn't make it in time."

Ye Mu's eyes fell on his face and he didn't move away, "Where did you go before the traffic jam? Didn't you say you have something to go out?"

Chen Mo moistened his throat with the water glass, trying to understate the situation, "It's nothing, I went back to the old house of Yan's family."

There was no emotion in Ye Mu's voice, "And then?"

Chen Mo was thoughtful, "The capital chain has been unilaterally frozen. It is estimated that the company's stock price will plummet after the Chinese New Year."

Ye Mu was silent, and after a while, his thin lips parted slightly, "I will go to Song Shi tomorrow to apply for an advance payment in the name of the project."

Chen Mo wiped his face, pursed his lips and said, "That's the only way to go."

He took off his coat while talking, and half-lyed on the sofa with his eyes closed, looking a little tired.

Ye Mu walked over and sat down next to him, and said in a low voice: "Don't be so pessimistic, the company's total income last year was considerable and the market is relatively optimistic, so you don't have to worry about finding new investors."

Chen Mo looked up at the ceiling with his neck up, slid his Adam's apple, hesitated to speak, "It has nothing to do with this."

Ye Mu suppressed the discomfort in his heart, "What is that because of?"

Chen Mo was expressionless, "There are other things that I can't figure out."

Ye Mu looked at him, obviously not satisfied with the information he provided, "Be more specific."

Chen Mo's eyelashes trembled slightly, and he said with deep eyes, "I'll talk about it later."

The meaning of this sentence is obviously that I don't want to tell you yet.

Ye Mu lowered his eyelids slightly, and he didn't force himself, "Okay, it won't be too late when you want to talk."

Chen Mo looked at him sideways, there was an unpredictable light in his dark eyes, and the outline of his brows was rarely tangled.

Ye Mu looked back at him, pursed his lips and said nothing. He didn't know if it was because of his psychology. He always felt that the way Chen Mo looked at him had changed, and he was no longer as firm as before, and he could even be said to be hesitant.

The huge hall was very quiet, only faint breathing could be heard. The two of them reflected each other in each other's eyes, but neither of them broke the silence.

After a long time, Ye Muxian drooped his long eyelashes, his voice was a little nasal before he caught a cold, "It's getting late, wash up and go to bed first."

Maybe it was because of the cold wind that he caught a lot of cold. He suffered from headaches and felt a little hot all over his body.

Chen Mo nodded slightly, his eyes were bottomless, as if all the light had been wiped out, it was pitch black, and he said in a word for a long time: "En."

Ye Mu's eyes showed mixed emotions, because he didn't know what he could do to help him, he leaned over and gently touched the scar on his face with his lips.

Chen Mo closed his eyes, tilted his head slightly, and subconsciously avoided his kiss.

Ye Mu was slightly stunned, a hint of surprise flashed across his pale eyes, "What's wrong?"

Chen Mo swallowed his throat, did not answer directly, got up and left, "It's a bit cold, I'm going to take a hot bath."

Ye Mu was left there alone, watching him walk into the bathroom, his white and thin face was full of confusion.

The discomfort in his body and the buzzing pain in his head prevented him from thinking too much. After hesitating on the sofa for a while, he also got up and went to another shower room to wash up.

After washing, the cells became active and he became less uncomfortable than before. Before he had a runny nose and cough, he took a few western medicines as a preventive measure and went to the bedroom.

When he was lying on the bed, Ye Mu's eyelids were already fighting, but he still managed to stay awake. To be honest, he was still a little worried.

Chen Mo washed for a long time, and it took nearly an hour before he walked in quietly.

For some reason, the man didn't turn over and hug him to sleep after he went to bed, and kept away from him for a long time with his back turned.

Ye Mu didn't dry it off after taking a shower, and his wet hair was scattered on his forehead, sticking wetly to his fair forehead, and his slender eyes were somewhat gloomy.

"Aside from freezing funds, did he tell you anything else?"

In the dark night, he still couldn't help breaking the silent atmosphere coldly.

Chen Mo was lying in the corner, his handsome silhouette revealed taciturnity, and he was bored for a long time without answering his question.

Ye Mu lay down on his side, put his hands on the other person's thin and healthy waist and hugged him, and said calmly: "I think I have something to hide from you, so I don't expect you to tell me everything, but I still hope you can tell me everything." Don't put too much pressure on it."

Chen Mo's eyelids drooped slightly, he broke free from his restraint, and silently moved to the side of the bed, "I'm not stressed, but just a little overwhelmed. You leave me alone first, I want to think about some things myself."

He said in a low voice, his voice was magnetic, but it was too cruising and alienated.

Ye Mu bit his lip lightly, and silently withdrew his hand, looking at the other person's indifferent back, feeling a little blocked in his heart.

There was no heating in the room, and the winter night seemed extremely cold. In the past, a man warmed his hands and feet without feeling it, but tonight he couldn't stop shivering and shivering.

Chen Mo didn't notice, he was next to the bed across him, staring at the floor in a daze.

Ye Mu couldn't bear it anymore, got up and went to the closet, took a quilt and covered himself up, wrapped his body into a ball before he got warmer.

"Di Di"

The phone vibrated unexpectedly by the pillow.

His eyelids were dry and sour, but he still raised his hands and squinted.

That bastard doesn't really like you, don't be fooled

—— Yan Chen

The blue light on the screen dimmed within 3 minutes, and Ye Mu stared sideways at the text message with only one line, feeling very dazzling.

No matter what reason Yan Chen sent him this content, in his opinion, there was ridicule and ridicule that could not be erased.

Ye Mu became uncomfortable, perhaps because of resistance and wanting to prove it, he turned around and moved closer to Chen Mo, passed his hands around and stroked his chest in front of him, and tried to put his head on Chen Mo's broad back on the curve.

Chen Mo's body moved slightly, and he still broke free as before.

But Ye Mu clung to him, and said in a hoarse and aching voice: "It's too cold, let me warm you up for a while."

Chen Mo sat up silently with his elbows propped on the bed, and handed him the warm treasure warmed by the bedside, "Hold this."

Ye Mu's eyelashes trembled slightly, and he frowned: "What happened, can you stop doing this?"

Chen Mo pushed away his hand on his chest, his profile was deep, "No, I'm just a little scared."

Ye Mu was puzzled and asked, "What are you afraid of?"

Chen Mo's brows were sombre, which was hard to see clearly like a mist. He moved his lips and hesitated to speak, but in the end he didn't say a word.

Yes, he was afraid, afraid that he was really the kind of shameless person who only stayed with Ye Mu for his own selfish desires.That would not only delay his life, but also harm Ye Mu's life.

So even if it will cause mutual misunderstanding, he still has to choose to figure it out. During this period of time, he will try to avoid physical contact.If the relationship between them can continue without the influence of that factor, it will prove to be the real so-called liking.

Perhaps this kind of thinking is naive and stupid, but it is still a performance of being responsible to both parties. It doesn't matter if he is not understood. He has always been stubborn and determined to go his own way, and now he does not want to retreat easily on emotional issues.

Ye Mu didn't know what was going on in the man's heart. Seeing that he was silent again, his delicate brows were tightly frowned. After a while, he turned his back to him dimly, and didn't say another word.

The two were sleeping alone on the same bed, but they didn't kiss and hug each other like before. There was no feeling of being in love, only coldness and strangeness remained.

The night was quiet, and the interference of many factors made people suffer from insomnia uncontrollably.

Ye Mu caressed his astringent eyelids, and it was difficult to adjust the focus of his eyes. At that moment, he really wanted to ask, did you regret it.
