...Look at me, I'm getting old to keep forgetting about it. A sense of vicissitudes flashed in Zhuang Nan's clear eyes, and he murmured softly, "At the beginning, he and I would always eat here at night, I don't know if he will come now..."

"What 'he', who is that 'he'?" Zou Ruo looked at Zhuang Nan suspiciously. "You don't...are you gay?"

"Yes, I'm gay." He replied calmly. "I don't know how much more civilized than before. This shouldn't be a taboo word."

"Oh. Of course." Zou Ruo swallowed, as if he didn't know how to answer.Although it's not like I haven't encountered it before, but growing up to be gay like Zhuang Nan is considered the best.

"Hehe, that's good. In the past, I often worried that others would look down on me." He was obviously smiling, but he seemed to be posturing. At this time, Zhuang Nan seemed to have a sad face.

"It's... nothing to look down on. My girlfriend often chatters by the side, saying that same-sex love is innocent, and love pursues equality. I'm used to it." Looking at Zhuang Nan in front of him, Zou Ruo suddenly remembered that this soul is actually Xiao Ya, and the reason for this person who committed suicide.

So Zou Ruo asked, "Uh... can't you tell me why I have to die?"

"Ah?" Zhuang Nan ignored Zou Ruo's answer, and continued to deal with the delicacies on the plate with a smile on his face.

Of course, Zou Ruo is also a knowledgeable master, and since then he has never asked him again why he committed suicide because he couldn't think about it.After all, for a person who will commit suicide, he definitely does not want others to expose his old scars.

For the rest of the day, the welcome dinner ended in a strange and awkward atmosphere.Until the two returned to the dormitory, they saw Wang Yan and Zhou Yunli who were surprised and amazed.

"You two! Where have you been? Why are all your things missing, Zhuang Nan?" Wang Yan seemed not only surprised but also a little annoyed. "Could it be that you have already made an appointment to elope. Hey... Really, everyone said that my daughter won't be able to keep her when she grows up. Huahua, do you really want to leave me?"

"Ah, uh, ah?" Zou Ruo pushed Zhuang Nan's arm vigorously, hoping that he could give full play to his acting skills.

"Oh, oh... yes, Zou Ruo and I have left, Daddy Wang is really sorry for your kindness in nurturing you and Mama Zhou." Zhuang Nan pouted, with a look of being kidnapped.

"Ahem..." Zou Ruo couldn't help reminding Zhuang Nan that this scene shouldn't be performed like this.

"Hey! Don't get involved with me." Zhou Yunli held the book with a disgusted look on her face.

"Good girl, when are you going to joke around, tsk tsk, you really look like Daddy." Wang Yan stretched out his hand and pinched Zhuang Nan's baby-fat face. "It's a pity that they don't look like each other. Haha... But, what are you guys playing?"

"Oh, Zhuang Nan has no place to go during the holidays, so he wants to stay at my house for a few days." Zou Ruo replied calmly, without any look of qi deficiency.

"Yes, the summer vacation is so long, it's really boring to stay in school." Zhuang Nan echoed.

"Hey? Zou Ruo, you and Zhuang Nan really have an affair, right? I have no place to go. Why didn't your grandma take me in?" Wang Yan complained.

"That's what's wrong with you. Zhuang Nan's family is out of town, and Zhou Yunli will return to his hometown in a few days. Your home is in City C. Go home and find your mother!" Zou Ruo snarled slightly.

"Okay, okay. Go back and be happy. Zou Ruo, don't let Liu Keke find out. You openly raise Xiaomi at home." Wang Yan threatened.

"X you are two hundred and five, please don't make jokes." Probably Zou Ruo, who knew Zhuang Nan's current sexuality, became more and more sensitive to this kind of thing.

"Wang Yan, let Zhuang Nan go. The water thrown out by the married daughter." Zhou Yunli, who was sitting upright, made a joke that was really unique.

"Okay, let's go..." Wang Yan waved his hands, signaling Zhuang Nan and Zou Ruo to get out of his sight.

Finally, Zou Ruo wiped off his sweat and waited for this sentence.

In the middle of the night, the moonlight is as cool as water, and the old mansion is surrounded by vines, showing a trace of tranquility.On a sultry summer night, the swaying breeze seems to drive away the scorching heat and bring a cool feeling.Zou Ruo rarely lit a cigarette on the balcony, meditating on something amidst the smoke.On the gloomy balcony, there was only a little red light, flickering and flickering.

"It's very dark here." Zhuang Nan's voice came from behind Zou Ruo.

"Aren't you a ghost? Why are you afraid of this?" Zou Ruo turned around and saw Zhuang Nan's slightly pale face in the flickering light.

"It's different. I'm a ghost about to enter reincarnation. I don't have resentment or hostility. This is an old house, and the atmosphere is very chilling." Zhuang Nan turned her head and looked at the graceful tree shadows dancing outside the railing.

"After you leave, I think I really need to invite a celestial master to come here to cast spells and save the souls of the dead." Zou Ruo joked. "If it's just a flamboyant ghost, it would be a pity to let it go."

"You, you are unreasonable. You are dead, how can there be beautiful ones? Seeing corpse spots and corpse insects, I wonder if you are still interested?" Zhuang Nan said with a wry smile.

"But I didn't see your so-called situation? To be honest, you are really the best among ghosts. Hehe..." Zou Ruo felt a little guilty.

"It's because you didn't see my death. Did you forget? I used my original shape to scare you that night." Zhuang Nan said, "I'm a water ghost who has been floating in the water for a long time."

"...Ha ha." Although Zou Ruo said he was smiling, his smile became even more ugly.Because he began to grope in his memory that night at the bedside, so deformed and rotten, he wanted to reach out and grab his real body. "You must never show your original shape again."

"Don't worry, I don't want others to see me like this." Zhuang Nan bent her lips helplessly.

"It seems that if you want to commit suicide in the future, you have to think about how to die." Zou Ruo straightened up and patted Zhuang Nan on the shoulder. "Go to sleep, and enjoy the rare sleep."

"Hey! Don't go..." Zhuang Nan shouted loudly, "You, you haven't told me, which room do I live in?"

It seemed too late for Zou Ruo to realize this problem. He actually forgot that there was no bed in the guest room.The luggage that Zhuang Nan brought was still lying in the living room.Could it be that Zhuang Nan was asked to sleep on the floor, Zou Ruo almost forgot that there was a living body in front of him, and the owner of the body was his best friend.

"Ah..." Zou Ruo patted his thigh, "Look, I forgot about it! Why don't you make do with me for one night, and we'll go buy a bed together tomorrow."

"Okay, as long as you don't dislike it." Zhuang Nan said.

From this point of view, Zou Ruo's one night sleep with a ghost is truly memorable.It wasn't until Zhuang Nan lay beside him that Zou Ruo realized that it was a person, because what he radiated was human body temperature.After all, it was a sweltering summer night, and both of them slept with their clothes on. Zhuang Nan's back was pressed tightly against his body. Zou Ruo could even feel the texture and warmth of Zhuang Nan's skin through a layer of clothes.Zou Ruo put his hand on Zhuang Nan's arm like a ghost, a little thin, but not as delicate as a girl, but he still has no sense of security at all.Faced with such a fragile body, Zou Ruo felt pity for her from nowhere.This inevitably made him want to laugh at himself.

That night was the most restless and trembling night for him to sleep.He didn't open his eyes until he saw Dongfang's pale belly, and ended such a weird night.Then, Zou Ruo found that his hand was still resting on Zhuang Nan's arm.He quickly took his hand away with a guilty conscience, and showed a big silly smile at Zhuang Nan who was sleepy and woke up.

"It's dawn. Now I don't have to hide from the sun. It feels so good." Zhuang Nan sat up and stretched a lot.

"After the meeting, we'll go to the furniture market." Zou Ruo obviously felt weak.But Zhuang Nan didn't seem to notice, just nodded to himself.

Zou Ruo began to wonder why he had strange feelings for Zhuang Nan.As far as the relationship is good, I don't seem to like Zhuang Nan very much, but I get closer to Wang Yan.What's more, I have a girlfriend, and my sexual orientation has been normal for so many years.Zou Ruo began to feel weird and unpredictable about his thoughts, he turned his head to look at Zhuang Nan, whose hair was curled up and extremely lazy, and he was scratching his head at the moment.

Zou Ruo shook his head and jumped out of bed to wash up.It was the first time Zhuang Nan or Xiao Ya, who had observed Zou Ruo for a long time, saw such a rigid Zou Ruo.

After breakfast, the two caught the early bus to Furniture City.On the bumpy road, Zou Ruo didn't say a word.It is really puzzling.Obviously, if Zou Ruo didn't realize that his situation could escape Xiao Ya's eyes.

.

"This bed is not bad." Zhuang Nan patted the surface of the bed, "So soft Simmons, I can feel that it is definitely comfortable to sleep on if I haven't slept on the bed for several years."

"Then let's take this one." Zou Ruo said, his tone seemed a little indifferent.

"However, I have no money, only Mingbi, so please help me pay."

"Okay..." Zou Ruo was completely absent-minded with a straight face.Could it be that he spent his money, and his heart hurts.

Just as Zhuang Nan was still struggling with Zou Ruo's expression, a woman who looked familiar came rushing towards Zou Ruo with a pair of flip flops.

"Darling! Long time no see you! What have you been doing?" Liu Keke hooked Zou Ruo's neck with both hands, and kissed Zou Ruo's mouth.

"Keke, haven't we seen each other for two days?" Apparently Zou Ruo's indifference frustrates the passionate Liu Keke.

"Hey. I thought you would be pleasantly surprised. I bought a bed with my aunt today, why are you and Zhuang Nan here?" Liu Keke looked at the stiff Zhuang Nan beside Zou Ruo.

"Oh, Zhuang Nan may live in my house for a while.
