There's a mermaid in my bathtub

"...Lin Yi?"

"Well, it's me."

Seeing Jin Sheng's surprised face, Lin Yi smiled, closed the car door, and pressed the lock, "What's the matter, you don't want to see me?"

"D-Of course not." Jin Sheng paused in place, seeing Lin Yi walking towards him, a smile finally opened on the corner of his mouth: "Aren't you busy with work? City D is so far away, what are you doing when you come back?"

With a chuckle, Lin Yi stood still and put his arms around Jin Sheng's shoulders affectionately, as before, "I can't come back if I don't do anything? I just came back because I missed you, okay?"

"If you say that again, I will believe it." Never shying away from hooking up with Lin Yi, Jin Sheng's eyes were full of smiles.

It has been two months since I came back from the bottom of the sea. In these two months, the only thing that can make Jin Sheng smile from the bottom of my heart is seeing Lin Yi.

After a few months of separation, I am not unfamiliar with my friends for many years, but I miss them a little more.

Jin Sheng looked at Lin Yi up and down carefully. He was still the same 1.8m[-] tall, dressed in a formal suit. He had been in the new job for more than two months and became the top leader of the region. Quiet, with more sharpness in the eyebrows and eyes.

It's been ten years since I met him in high school. I don't know if this relationship can be called a "bamboo horse"?

"I'm telling the truth, of course you have to believe it." Lin Yi's voice suddenly sounded in his ear, Jin Sheng regained consciousness, blinked his eyes, and it took a long time to realize which sentence he answered.

Feeling warm in his heart, Jin Sheng gave Lin Yi a hug frankly.

The end of summer, autumn, the wind has become cooler.

This season, wearing long sleeves is still hot, but Lin Yi does not reject Jin Sheng's body. He was taken aback by his embrace, and then quickly reached out and hugged him tightly. Through Jin Sheng's thin shirt, he could vaguely touch the his temperature.

"Anyway, congratulations on coming back." After hugging him twice, he wanted to let go, but found that Lin Yi hugged him extremely tightly, so Jin Sheng had no choice but to hug him again, and patted Lin Yi's back lightly.

This hug was very long, Lin Yi reluctantly let go, walked a few steps with Jin Sheng to their company, and casually said: "After I left, how are you...how are you doing?"

"As usual, do you want to have something to eat tonight?"

"I see you are very busy, do you have time to accompany me?"

"Well... I have nothing to do. I just came back to send an email." Jin Sheng glanced at the time. order it.

Although it's on hold for now, it's not too late to do it again on Monday, but everyone is here, and there is always something to do.

Lin Yi accompanied Jin Sheng and went upstairs together. This was Lin Yi's first visit to his new office. After looking left and right, Jin Sheng had already taken care of everything.

"Let's go."

"So soon?" Looking away from the company group photo, Lin Yi turned his head, and Jin Sheng had already turned off the computer and walked in front of him.

"It's not much at all, but you How do you know that I will go back to the company? You guys are not waiting for me at the door of the company all the time, are you?"

He said it casually, but saw Lin Yi's movements froze when he just took a step. This reaction must have been hit.

It's just a joke, how did you know it was so easy to hit?

Moreover, if you came to him on purpose, just make a phone call. What if he didn't come to the company today and went to KTV with his colleagues?Will Lin Yi have to wait for him for a day?

"Ahem, if we have dinner together at night, let's go home and change our clothes before we meet again. I'm fine with a shirt, but you're uncomfortable in a formal suit." With a light cough and a change of subject, Jin Sheng helped Lin Yi find a step, But that person seemed to be still immersed in the panic that had just been revealed, and it took him a while to react.

Embarrassment flashed through his eyes, Lin Yi smiled and said: "If you go to the old place, this outfit is strange. I have a suitcase in the car, and there are casual clothes in it. Is it convenient to go to your house to change? After changing, go directly to eat. "

"of course can."

After simply packing up his things and seeing his old friend, Jin Sheng was in a good mood. He took Lin Yi downstairs, feeling relaxed, and at the same time, in order to cover up some lingering emotions in his heart, he forced a look of excitement on his face. He even opened the door of the car first, and got on the "free ride" one step ahead of the owner.

Scattered words along the way, there was no traffic jam at this time, and he arrived at the door of the house soon.

From the moment he entered the elevator, Lin Yi never took his eyes off Jin Sheng, as if he wanted to pay back what he owed in the past two months in a short time.

Feeling the gaze vaguely, Jin Sheng looked back in doubt, the man didn't hide, and just returned a gentle smile, only to make Jin Sheng bewildered, staring at each other all the time, it felt so strange, and he felt embarrassed every time he went back and forth.

Fortunately, it's only the eighth floor, and we'll be there in a blink of an eye.

Go out, find the key, unlock the lock.

Jin Sheng stepped in, but Lin Yi didn't move for a long time, "Aren't you going to come to my house to change clothes?"

"Is it really convenient for me to enter?" When he walked to the door, Lin Yi had a strange expression on his face. He stood by the door and didn't look at Jin Sheng's house at all, "Well, I'll go in like this..."

"There's nothing shameful about my house." With a chuckle, she opened the door wide. Jin Sheng loves cleanliness in her living habits. The house is tidy, and she is not afraid of people coming at any time.

"I mean, Nanli."

Hearing the sound, Jin Sheng silently opened his mouth twice. This name is an untouchable scar in his heart...or, it is a bloody wound that cannot heal.

Speaking of which, the last time Lin Yi came to his house, he saw Nanli who was naked and had lost his tail for the first time in this world.

Jin Sheng still can't forget the surprise at that time, it seems like it happened yesterday, so long has passed.

"He's not here, he's here...it's okay." Sighing, Jin Sheng smiled helplessly, obviously not wanting to say more, Lin Yi saw this and didn't ask further.

Even if he lives alone, Jin Sheng's house is well organized and cozy.

Lin Yi rummaged through the suitcase for the clothes he wanted to change. During this time, Jin Sheng had already changed his shoes and entered the bedroom.

Putting on the slippers used by the guests, Lin Yi took this opportunity to look at Jin Sheng's shoe cabinet. Unexpectedly, it was filled with his own shoes, and the owner's slippers were only that pair.

Jin Sheng and Nanli broke up?

Having known each other for many years, one could tell at a glance that Jin Sheng had something on his mind, but in terms of feelings, Lin Yi was not easy to ask. Although it was a bit sad, he was secretly happy.The change in mentality was silent. He looked in the direction of the bedroom and said, "Borrow the bathroom."

After speaking, he pushed open the sliding door and walked in.

Lin Yi is very familiar with this house, even more familiar than Chang Hao, the other nominal "male owner" here in the past. In the year when Jin Sheng and Chang Hao dated, he came to this place more times than that "real boyfriend".

The house is big enough, and the bathroom is not small. When you enter the living room, you can see the bathroom at a glance. The outer door is actually broken. The single door that was torn apart by external forces is placed obliquely next to the sink, tearing the hideous and obvious door shaft surface ,Can not ignore.

There was only one set of toiletries, and the rest of the place was cleaned up, leaving nothing outsiders' belongings. It seemed that Jin Sheng had broken up with Nanli for a long time.

Pushing open the only remaining sliding door, Lin Yi found that the bathtub in the bathroom was full of water.

The water looks clear, but... I don't know how long it's been there.

In terms of feng shui, the bathtub is not suitable for storing water. Jin Sheng's house is not made of wood, and there is no need to store water to grow wood. The water in the bathtub is left dry, which can only breed bacteria and is unhygienic.

After using the toilet, Lin Yi took off his coat, rolled up his sleeves, and opened the water outlet at the bottom of the bathtub, frowning to watch the water slowly sinking.

"What are you doing?" The door behind him was suddenly opened, Jin Sheng heard the movement, and ran in hastily, and saw the swirling bathtub water, which had obviously changed, "Who told you to move!"

With a bad breath and no effort to reach out, Jin Sheng pushed Lin Yi away, regardless of the half-buttoned white shirt, reached into the bathtub, frantically closed the water outlet, and turned on the shower to replenish water.

Like crazy.

When the water level almost returned to its original position, the panicked expression eased. Jin Sheng gasped for breath, his heart beating extremely fast.That action wet most of his clothes, and the light shirt reveals the luster of the skin inside, making it hard to move your eyes away.

"...Are you okay?" Jin Sheng's behavior was too abnormal and violent, obviously because he was stimulated by his behavior of filling the bathtub.

This water...is there any significance to him?

Although Lin Yi couldn't figure out the situation, he stretched out his hands over and over again to comfort his back, "I'm sorry, I was rude. According to Feng Shui, when the bathtub is not in use, it's best not to drain the water. It won't be clean if you leave it like this. Take a bath, just put it away when you use it, you..."

"Don't worry about it!"

Shouting sharply, Jin Sheng's pure black eyes were filled with water, and his previous calmness disappeared, "You don't know anything, what if the water runs out and I miss him..."

The voice became smaller and smaller, so that Lin Yi couldn't hear the second half at all.

There is an emotion in Jin Sheng's eyes that he can't see through, which is hopeless and strong nostalgia.

"I'm sorry, I... can't control my emotions." Holding the bathtub wall, Jin Sheng slowly stood up, and only felt that something was wrong after losing his temper.

It is his fault that some emotional discomfort is passed on to others and affects Lin Yi.Jin Sheng frowned slightly, and when he looked up again, the thick emotion in his eyes disappeared, only apology remained.

"I... change the water in the bathtub every day, mopping the floor, cleaning, etc. The remaining water won't be wasted, so it's okay..."

Jin Sheng's voice was low and hoarse, and he confessed his guilt with lowered eyes, but to Lin Yi, this man's body was covered with water, and through the white shirt, he could vaguely see his chest. , was extremely provocative, and it also made him feel distressed.

Lin Yi really wanted to hug him, but this kind of behavior was too intimate, completely beyond friendship.

But... that boundary, it doesn't matter if you only cross it once?Being close to Jin Sheng when he was at his most vulnerable, might be able to get close to another place in his heart.

Thinking hesitantly, as soon as Lin Yi stretched out his hand, he heard an urgent knock on the door mixed with the ringing of the doorbell.

"...Someone is here, I'll go and have a look." After clearing his hoarse throat and confirming that the water in the bathtub was about the same height as before, Jin Sheng dragged his wet clothes and walked out the door, "Lin Yi, you ...Go to my bedroom and change clothes first."

"Okay..." Looking at the corridor where Jin Sheng didn't look back, it took Lin Yi a long time to respond.

Leaving the bathroom in a hurry, maybe from the beginning, I shouldn't have waited for my friend to come home, and went to the bathroom where Nanli had been.

"...Here we come." The knock on the door outside kept ringing like a reminder, and Jin Sheng's calm expression changed again.

——Who is outside?

Annoyed by that voice, Jin Sheng opened the door without looking at the cat's eyes.

Really...every door you open is a surprise.

The author has something to say:

Wife, guess who is outside, if you guess correctly, you can get a frog kiss _(:з」∠)_ (the kind that can turn into a frog if you kiss)
