Midsummer of Eden

Zhang Chi left Yin Jueming's house the next morning.

When leaving, Yin Jueming came down to see him off.He pulled Yin Jueming for a kiss.Yin Jueming did not refuse.

Until the tall buildings in the field of vision gradually decreased and the car drove out of the city, Zhang Chi began to slowly recall the conversation between Yin Jueming and him yesterday.

He didn't know where the problem was, he could feel that Yin Jueming had feelings for him.However, Yin Jueming is not willing to break the current barriers, or in other words, the cost of breaking the current life is a trade-off for Yin Jueming.

Zhang Chi can probably figure out what Yin Jueming is thinking.

Perhaps for Yin Jueming, everything in Arima Town should have been a dream, an affair, a short time, and no future romance should be considered.Zhang Chi didn't even know whether to use the word love.

Now, it was clear that everything was beyond his original plan.For Yin Jueming, all of this is no longer just a dream, an affair, or he does not have to think about future relationships.

Yin Jueming has feelings for him, but this feeling is not deep.

Just like Yin Jueming said to him last night.

"I admit, I like you a little bit, a little bit."

Yes, but only so much.

Zhang Chi could feel that Yin Jueming was not unshakable, but what else could he do?

Yin Jueming is right.There are many things between them. They each perform their own roles, each has their own responsibilities, lifestyles, and social circles.

Two people can simply like the feeling of being together, but once they start to think about going on, there are many other issues that have to be considered.Their preferences, habits, tempers, and their own dilemmas and problems.

Zhang Chi tapped the steering wheel with his fingers, meditating quietly.

That night, he slept in Yin Jueming's room.

The room smells of him.The oranges were still scattered on the table, and they were a little rotten. The bouquet he picked for him also looked withered in the vase.Yin Jueming's scripts were scattered on the table, and it was obvious that he left in a hurry.His thin nightgown is still hanging in the wardrobe, and Debussy's tapes are still playing on the radio...

It's as if Yin Jueming has always been here and never left.

Early the next morning, Zhang Chi was woken up by the noise outside.

He usually has a regular schedule and gets up around seven o'clock.The group of people who came outside obviously came at dawn.

Zhang Chi quickly washed and dressed, and when he went downstairs, he saw that his grandma had already got up and was talking to two or three people outside the house. The other party was not in a hurry, and seemed to be waiting.

As soon as Zhang Chi came out, several pairs of eyes looked over.

"Mr. Zhang?" The person at the head came over, said hello to Zhang Chi, and explained his intention after expressing his interruption, "We were arranged by Mr. Qin and Mr. Yin. Knot with you."

"Follow me." Zhang Chi was silent for three seconds, and led the people up.

When these people were packing up in the bedroom where Yin Jueming lived, Zhang Chi stood smoking a cigarette.

Yin Jueming seems to have lived here for several months, but actually he doesn't have many things.Two or three men moved together, and the whole room was vacated in an hour.

Nothing remained but breath.

Yesterday, he still fell asleep here, accompanied by the aroma of oranges and toilet water, his cactus on the window sill, his tape player on the table, the mat on the bed, his nightgown... In a blink of an eye, it was empty.

the other side.

On the third day that Yin Jueming took care of Qin Jifeng continuously, Qin Jifeng woke up.Although it looks weak, there are signs of improvement anyway.As for Qin Shuo, he didn't go to the company much for two consecutive days, and all his energy was spent on taking care of Qin Jifeng.

The relationship between Yin Jueming and Qin Shuo began to become very strange.

Yin Jueming often felt that Qin Shuo hesitated to speak and had a complex expression, but it was difficult to get a glimpse of it.

The day Qin Jifeng woke up, both of them were very happy.They prepared light and tasty food for Qin Jifeng, and helped him to sit up for a while, talking slowly.

In the evening, Qin Jifeng's spirit completely recovered, and even went down to the bathroom with Qin Shuo's support, and he still felt hungry during dinner time.

This is a good sign.

Maybe it was because of lack of energy, but before nine o'clock, Qin Jifeng fell into a deep sleep again.

Qin Shuo invited an assistant and asked him to take care of Qin Jifeng temporarily.

Yin Jueming was taken outside the ward by him: "What's the matter?"

"You haven't had a good rest in the past few days. Then we will take shifts during the day and night. You have some time to rest."

Yin Jueming thought about it and thought it was okay, so he agreed.

"and also……"

Qin Shuo became hesitant again during this period of time, Yin Jueming did not urge him, just quietly waiting for him to continue.

"I'm very happy today. Now that Dad is sleeping, shall I take you out for a late-night snack?"

Yin Jueming smiled: "What's wrong with you all of a sudden? You care so much about such trivial matters."

"You went to Youma Town for four months, and you took care of my dad non-stop after you came back. You see, we haven't eaten together for a long time, and we haven't even had a good talk." Qin Shuo looked at Yin Jueming almost sincerely.

Yin Jueming looked at him carefully for a while, and agreed.

Qin Shuo knew that Yin Jueming didn't like formal Chinese food, so he found a barbecue restaurant with a good reputation nearby. There was also fish porridge that nourished the stomach, which was Yin Jueming's favorite food in the middle of the night.

Halfway through the meal, Qin Shuo put down the bamboo stick.

He obviously had something to say.

After Yin Jueming noticed it, he also put down the spoon, wiped his hands with a tissue, and waited for him to speak.

"What you said before, you and that Zhang Chi, are you... are you..."

"Yes." Yin Jueming didn't even lift his eyelids, "What's wrong?"

Qin Shuo took a deep breath and suppressed his emotions: "When I was in the United States, I always wanted to ask, did you treat me at that time..."

"Yes." Yin Jueming replied again.

On the contrary, Qin Shuo was speechless by his too blunt answer.

Yin Jueming simply pre-empted: "Do you want to ask, now you and Zhang Chi, who do I really like?"

The person opposite was silent, but looked at him nervously.

"It's all over. Qin Shuo, you yourself said that was the past. If it makes you feel unhappy or disgusted, you can give yourself some time." Yin Jueming said this, folded the tissue and put it aside, " As for now, don't worry, I don't have any thoughts about you."

The stuffy breath in his chest couldn't come out, not only couldn't come out, it seemed to be burning.

"If I say, I actually like you too." Having not been able to say it for so many years, now that he really said it, Qin Shuo found that admitting it was not as difficult as he imagined. I can't find it. I saw him kissing you in the coffee shop that day, and I found that I was going crazy with jealousy. Jueming, can you give me another chance to... "

Yin Jueming looked at Qin Shuo expressionlessly, as if he was not surprised by his remarks at the moment.

What surprised him was something else.It turned out that he had seen the kiss in the coffee shop.So, that sudden kiss was caused by Zhang Chi... this guy.

Regarding Qin Shuo's liking for him, just like what Zhang Chi said, Yin Jueming was not completely clear about it.

After a while, Yin Jueming smiled: "You like it, see if your father doesn't break your leg."

When Qin Jifeng was mentioned, Qin Shuo's eyes flickered.

"About my dad, maybe it's going to take time. But I really want to...want to fight again."

"It's never happened before, why do you want to do it again?" Yin Jueming asked softly, "Besides, it is not impossible for your possessive desire to cause trouble. Our current relationship is very good and comfortable. In the safe zone, I don't think it is necessary to any change."

"Jueming, this is different!" Qin Shuo was a little anxious. He had just drank beer, and perhaps because of his excitement, he was a little embarrassed at the moment, "It was my fault for pretending not to notice your feelings at that time. I already I regret it, I don't want to miss it all the time, and finally see you have your own life with someone else. Just thinking about it makes me go crazy."

"Let me tell you again." Yin Jueming suddenly crossed his hands and leaned forward, "I don't like you. Any discussion of the past is meaningless. Leave some room for each other."

"I do not believe."

Yin Jueming leaned back, his whole body relaxed.After watching Qin Shuo for a while, he took out a cigarette from his pocket.

"I slept with him more than once." Yin Jueming smiled at Zhang Chi, "He said, let me be responsible for him."

"Yin Jueming!" Qin Shuo was shocked, not only shocked that Yin Jueming could say such straightforward words to him, but also because Yin Jueming said such shameless words for someone, and Qin Shuo had never seen him. passed.

Yin Jueming ignored Qin Shuo's hidden anger, got up and left with a cigarette: "Don't waste your time on me, it's not worth it, it's unnecessary."

Walking out of the store, the night breeze ruffled his hair.

Not worth it, not necessary.

Yin Jueming remembered that he had said the same thing to Zhang Chi when he was at his home that day.

How did Zhang Chi answer back then?

——It's worth it, I want it.

Yin Jueming sent a message to Qin Shuo, telling him to leave first, and took a taxi home.

He did not have a good rest these days, because Qin Jifeng's body and Yin Jueming's spirit were always tense.

Unexpectedly, when Yin Jueming returned home, Zhang Chi was leaning against the wall of the corridor, looking at the scenery outside the window.

This time, even Yin Jueming felt as if he was dreaming.

"You came?"

"coming."

He looked like he had traveled a long way and looked tired.Coincidentally, so did Yin Jueming.

Zhang Chi stretched out his arm to Yin Jueming, but Yin Jueming didn't speak, and quietly leaned over, resting his chin on Zhang Chi's shoulder.

His shoulders are broad, his arms are strong, and he smells like green grass. There is also a kind of smell that Yin Jueming can't describe, which belongs to Zhang Chi himself.

Zhang Chi felt that Yin Jueming seemed to have turned into a perching bird, and fell lightly in his arms, making everything feel real in an instant.

Turning his head, Zhang Chi gently rubbed Yin Jueming's face with his chin: "You look so tired."

"You too."

"They moved away your things. That room is empty now. Two days ago, Qin Shuo called and said he wanted to talk to me about the sale of the house. He bought the house, and I don't even have the last thing that belongs to you. It's gone."

"..."

"Jue Ming."

"Ok?"

"I seem to be a little too obsessed with you."

Yin Jueming's hands wrapped around Zhang Chi's back, wrapping around his shoulders like vines from bottom to top: "It's a good thing."

"is it?"

Yin Jueming smiled. In the darkness, he staggered his position a bit and kissed Zhang Chi's lips: "Brother, you are so lucky. Among so many people, I just miss you."
