unique

Xiaoyan thought hard and didn't remember that she had received Zhu Shen's box, but she still said that she would try her best to help Zhu Shen find it.

Zhu Shen rubbed his head tiredly, puzzled.

His mouth was very dry, and when he opened the door to drink water, he saw Zhong Heng standing awkwardly at the door, not knowing how long he had been standing there.

Zhu Shen didn't even know how long Zhong Heng would stand like this if he didn't have to go out to pour water.

I remember the night when Zhong Heng went to Country D to pick him up two months ago, he stood at the door like this.

Why... don't you come in?

Zhong Heng coughed lightly.

"Drink water?" Zhu Shen asked him.

Zhong Heng nodded his head invisibly, and went downstairs with Zhu Shen.

Although it was not late at night, in order to cooperate with Mr. Zhu's schedule, Zhu Zhai entered the night early and turned off the headlights.In the villa, there are only light yellow wall lamps, which are embedded on the wall, revealing a faint halo, so that people's silhouettes can only be dimly seen.

I can see the road under my feet, but I can't see the person in front of me clearly.

Zhu Shen poured two glasses of water in the hall, gave one to Zhong Heng, and drank the other by himself.Zhong Heng just took a sip, staring at Zhu Shen's side face in a daze.

After Zhu Shen finished drinking the water, he asked Zhong Heng, "Can you go out with me for a walk?"

Zhong Heng followed behind Zhu Shen, and the two walked through the dim light with a distance of one meter.

Suddenly, Zhu Shen stopped at the corner of the door.

"Zhong Heng." Under the dim light, Zhong Heng clearly heard Zhu Shen calling his name.

Over the past 20 years, Zhong Heng has heard many people call his name.But he swears that there will never be anyone who can sing better than Zhu Shen, like the spun gauze covering his eyes, like the weeping willow and the wind blowing past his heart.

Zhu Shen could call him without any emotion, but he was full of passion.

"En." Zhong Heng's voice became hoarse.

"Before you—" Zhu Shen suddenly stopped.

Can't ask.

Even if he wanted to know what was in that box, he couldn't ask Zhong Heng.

What's more, he knew that even if he asked, Zhong Heng wouldn't say anything.

He has to dig out the things from the past with his own hands, and he will definitely find the box.

"What?" Zhong Heng looked at him.

Zhu Shen pushed open a corner of the door and walked out with Zhong Heng.

Letting go, Zhu Shen sighed, "I want to smoke."

Zhong Heng was startled, as if he didn't expect Zhu Shen to tell him this.

But this is not a notice, but a... discussion?

Zhong Heng said, "I'll buy you candy tomorrow."

Zhu Shen was taken aback for a moment, he didn't expect Zhong Heng to say such words to him like coaxing a child.He took Zhong Heng to the garden, and while walking, he bargained: "Then I want to eat the peach flavor, I like that."

"I know."

"How do you know?" Zhu Shen stood still under the streetlight, tilting his head and looking at him.

Against the light, Zhu's light-colored hair was shrouded in light and shadow. Zhong Heng couldn't see his expression clearly, but felt that he should be happy.

"I got it now."

Under the dim light, both of them seemed to be cast in the shadow of the moon.

No one mentioned the matter of quitting smoking, as if a peach candy solved everything.

"Then you must buy it for me tomorrow."

"it is good."

"there's one more thing."

"what?"

"Come with me to Chi Jian and Li Luo's engagement next week."

Zhong Heng was taken aback.

Seeing Zhong Heng's hesitant expression and not responding immediately, Zhu Shen suddenly realized that he probably didn't want to get involved in his circle.

After all, Zhong Heng and Alu used to have feuds...

Zhu Shen suddenly realized that he was really a bit of a forceful person, so he quickly changed his words: "I'm just talking casually, it doesn't matter if you don't want to go—"

"I go."

"what?"

Zhong Heng looked at him fixedly: "I'll accompany you."

"Ah good."

Why wouldn't he want to go, where would he not want to go when Zhu Shen was there?

He just didn't expect Zhu Shen to say "accompany me".

In the half-darkness, the corners of Zhong Heng's mouth lightly pursed, as if another date had been finalized.

Seeing that there seemed to be doubts in Zhu Shen's eyes, Zhong Heng explained: "I didn't expect Chi Jian to be with Li Luo."

Zhu Shen nodded: "I didn't think of it either." He smiled and said, "I just found out tonight that Chi Jian has been secretly in love with Li Luo for ten years. It's not easy for them to be a couple."

The two sat side by side on the swings in the garden, and looked up. There was no moon in the black night, and a few stars hung faintly.

"That's true, it's been a long time." Zhong Heng lowered his head: "It's really been a long time."

"Why are you so touched?" Zhu Shen teased: "Could it be that you had a crush on others before?"

Zhong Heng turned his head to look at Zhu Shen.

Zhu Shen just asked casually, swinging on the swing every now and then, while Zhong Heng sat silently, looking at Zhu Shen's profile.There are not many opportunities to stare at Zhu Shen's side face unscrupulously under the moonlight, at least in the past, it was definitely not there.Zhong Heng didn't dare to take a wrong step, for fear of making a wrong step and making a wrong step, so he didn't make a sound.

Seeing that Zhong Heng didn't speak, Zhu Shen's swing gradually became smaller, and he turned his head to look at the people around him.

With a tilt of his head, he met a pair of dark eyes.

When he stared at you silently like this, it must have been too affectionate.Zhu Shen snorted, his feet slowly landed on the ground, and the creaking sound of the rope rubbing slowly stopped.

Zhong Heng got up: "Go back."

"You haven't answered my question yet." Zhu Shen refused to get up.

Zhong Heng froze, but didn't speak, but slowly stretched out his hand towards him.

Zhu Shen took a steady look at Zhong Heng, but the light was too dim, and he couldn't see why, so he gave Zhong Heng his hand and stood up from the swing with his strength.

There was a cool breeze at night, the wind pierced through the flowers and leaves, and even the grass shivered.As soon as the hands were touched, it was like being shocked by electricity, and each of them retracted slightly, but no one withdrew.

The wind is too cold tonight, that's why they are so warm when they are close together.

The two supported each other, and when they walked under the light, the hands that were touching were separated just right.

Everything seemed to be just right tonight.

But it seems that everything is a little bit close to the best place.

Walking back to the room, the two had to face the embarrassing problem of being in the same room again.

The room is big with a bed and a sofa.

Zhu Shen felt that he should do his best as a landlord, so he wanted to give up the bed to Zhong Heng.Unexpectedly, Zhong Heng insisted on sleeping on the sofa.

At the end of the compromise, they both lay on Zhu Shen's big bed.

This is the third time they've been in bed together, and they still look as prim as the first time.

The room was so quiet that only the sound of your breathing coming and going could be heard, and it was hard to tell whose was more rapid.

The two of them spent two hours lying on their backs quietly, but they both knew that the other must not be asleep.

Suddenly, Zhong Heng said, "Don't worry about sleeping, if you have another nightmare, I will definitely wake you up immediately."

Zhu Shen choked up a bit. He didn't expect Zhong Heng to hit his heart, but he was still trying to be brave: "I don't stay up because I'm afraid of having nightmares."

"Yeah." Zhong Heng saw through but didn't say anything, "Go to sleep."

Perhaps it was Zhong Heng's words that had an effect, and Zhu Shen was really relieved, letting himself be surrounded by hazy sleepiness, in a daze, he seemed to see Zhong Heng in middle school.

In fact, they only met a few times in high school, fragmented, and only a hazy shadow remained in their minds.

What was Zhong Heng like back then...

It's also a cold face, not cute at all, with thin lips tightly pursed, and the eyes that look at people are deep and complicated?

By chance, Zhu Shen asked the question that he cared most about tonight through his wandering thoughts: "Have you ever had a crush on someone before?"
