"Jingle Bell……"

The alarm bell rang suddenly, waking up Jinwei, who was sleeping soundly, from his dream.

Jinwei, who was still a little confused, sat up suddenly, looked around in a daze but couldn't see anything clearly, he couldn't realize what time it was, for a moment Jinwei thought it was not dawn.

Almost in a daze for a while, Jinwei, who finally regained consciousness, realized that the surroundings were so dark only because the room was arranged so that no light could pass through.

The alarm was still ringing, Jinwei subconsciously reached out to touch the source of the noise, and the phone with the screen on reminded the alarm clock that it was time to wake up.

Feeling that he didn't get enough sleep, Jinwei really wanted to continue falling down to sleep, but he quickly shook his head trying to shake the sleepiness out of his brain.

I will be going to school in two days, and if I still let the biological clock be disturbed, it will have an impact on my school life in the future.

Reluctantly, Jinwei turned off the alarm of the mobile phone, and at the same time pressed the switch of the light in this room.

It feels like I had a very nostalgic dream yesterday, but Jinwei can't remember the content of that dream.

This has been the case for the last few days.

Although Jinwei didn't really want to know what dream he had, but the feeling of not being able to let go was really uncomfortable.

Sighing softly, Jinwei reached for the water glass on the bedside table, and drank the water in the glass in one gulp.

Obviously not very thirsty, but strangely, his brain gave the order to drink this glass of water.

This is a "habit" that started a few days ago, but Jinwei can't remember when he left a glass of water on the bedside table at all.

"Yesterday...did I pour water?"

Thinking about this actually irrelevant question, but couldn't figure it out, in the end Jinwei had no choice but to attribute the reason to his memory confusion due to sleepiness and dizziness.

After changing clothes and freshening up, Jinwei walked out of the room and started to make breakfast.

Ever since Geun Wei first cooked, they agreed that they would eat together in the future.

Using skillful techniques to quickly prepare breakfast for two, Jinwei took a deep breath, and then walked into the master bedroom.

Obviously, he has entered Anxin's room several times in the past few days, and it is three times a day to wake Anxin up and eat like this, but Jinwei still can't help being nervous.

In the same dark room as Jinwei's room, Anxin who seemed to be still naked was sleeping soundly on the KINGSIZE bed.

"Uncle, I've made breakfast."

Gently shaking the other person's shoulder, the man who was still asleep a moment ago woke up suddenly.

"Hmm...it's already this point..."

An Xin murmured, sitting up all of a sudden, just as Jinwei thought, he was completely naked.

Although An Xin tried his best to control his temper, Jinwei could still see from his frowning that he was still a little angry for getting up.

"I'm getting up now."

With that said, An Xin lifted the quilt.

Unexpectedly, An Xin didn't even wear a pair of underwear.

Although it is a body with the same organs as his own, An Xin's body is obviously much more mature than Jinwei's no matter where it is, so Jinwei can't help but blush.

Even he himself felt a little baffled, Jinwei quickly responded and ran out quickly.

Not long after Jinwei prepared the tableware, An Xin walked to the table slowly after washing up.

Probably because he hasn't woken up yet, An Xin's gaze looks a little lazy.

It should be that he accidentally wet his hair while washing his face, and the hair stuck to his face made An Xin look inexplicably sexy.

"Did you not sleep last night? I feel a little dark circles under the eyes."

Jinwei was a little surprised by the care from An Xin, he didn't expect that An Xin would notice that his face was not looking well, and a little bit of joy welled up in his heart.

"Hmm... um... I was reading a book in the study yesterday, because it was so good, I read it a little late before I knew it."

Although this is not the main reason.

"Oh? Come to think of it...you seem to have been running towards the study..."

"At first I wanted to clean it up, but before I knew it, I started reading books." Jinwei smiled embarrassedly, "There are really a lot of books here. I haven't been to the city, so this is still This is the first time I have seen so many books."

"Do you like reading?"

An Xin raised his eyebrows in surprise and asked.

"Well... To be honest, I didn't like it very much when I was a child, but I started to like it very much. I always feel that when I read a book, I can understand the author's psychological world through the book. It feels very interesting. Just like yesterday when I read "The Single Window in the Dark Night" written by that author is well written, and after reading it, I have a feeling that I will never forget for a long time."

Hibiscus said with a bewildered face.

"Ahem! What are you looking at!?"

An Xin, who was still eating well, was instantly frightened when he heard what happened next. Because of being too surprised, An Xin choked on the milk he was drinking.

"Huh? It's "The Single Window in the Dark Night" written by the author whose pen name is Earl. Does uncle like this author very much? Because I see that you have a lot of books by this author in your study, and every day Every novel will have several volumes in my collection.”

The moment he finished speaking, Jinwei noticed An Xin's wide-eyed eyes.

——I... did I say something wrong?

"uncle……?"

"Ha ha ha ha……"

Suddenly, An Xin burst out laughing loudly.

This was the first time Jinwei saw An Xin laughing so heartily.

"Did I...did I say something wrong...?"

"Hahahaha... No, you're right. I really like this author's work, but I didn't expect you to read it too. What do you think after reading it?"

Jin Wei, who was struggling to find a topic to chat with An Xin, seems to have found a chance to have a good chat with An Xin under such a random situation.

"Impressions...not really impressions." Jinwei smiled shyly and said, "This author seems to have written a lot of vampire novels, and most of them have tragic endings. Reading his novels, I always feel that he clearly He is a very emotional person, but he is very lonely and lonely.”

"!" An Xin was taken aback, "Are you so sure?"

"Well, and... I don't know why this author gives me a very familiar feeling. I seem to be a bit self-righteous, and I don't even know the other party."

Jinwei smiled at An Xin because of his shyness, but he found that the man on the opposite side was looking at him with very gentle eyes.

"Well……"

Feeling very embarrassed, Jinwei quickly lowered his head and looked at the barely touched breakfast in front of him.Even so, he could still clearly feel the sight from the opposite side.

——Uncle, why do you always show a very lonely expression?

"Uncle... I, is there something on my face? If not, please stop staring at me, it feels... weird."

Jin Wei felt pain on his face like a burning fire.

"Ah, sorry."

The moment he noticed the blush on Jinwei's face that couldn't be ignored, An Xin couldn't help but feel that something was wrong, and he quickly looked away.

——You can’t let Jinwei fall in love with you.Once Jinwei falls in love with this self, the potency of the medicine will...

*

On the first day I went to school to report, the weather was so bad that I couldn't feel better.

It has been raining heavily since early in the morning, and walking on the rain-soaked ground, the new shoes that Anxin bought for Jinwei not long ago were already a little wet when they arrived at school, and there was a lot of mud on them. It looks a little dirty.

He obviously went to school with an umbrella, but even so, his clothes and pants were still somewhat wet.

In this kind of wet and cold season, the wet clothes and trousers made Jinwei somewhat troubled, and today is the first day he transferred to this school, such a miserable look really won't leave anyone What a good impression.

"Wow, you look so miserable!"

A cheerful-sounding young man's voice sounded from behind, and before Jinwei could react, he was kindly put on the shoulders by a boy.

Jinwei turned his head in surprise, and saw a boy in a school uniform who looked a little foolish.

Perhaps because he was afraid that his trousers would get wet, the boy rolled up his trousers to his knees, and under his feet he was wearing a pair of flip-flops that were not allowed to be worn in school by school regulations.

"what!"

Suddenly, the boy yelled in Jinwei's ear again, and this scream made Jinwei's ears ache.

"This, this pair of shoes...isn't that pair of limited-edition sneakers!"

"Hey, Shiroki, you're very eye-catching by making a lot of noise here."

Suddenly, a male voice sounded a little impatient, and his voice was more stable than those of his peers. The head of the boy with Jinwei's shoulders was patted by the boy, and the boy immediately yelled in pain. .

"Who made that pair of sneakers of my dreams appear in front of my eyes! I never thought I could see them so closely in my lifetime!"

For a moment, Hibiscus felt that the boy was staring at his shoes.

"Are these shoes... so good?"

In fact, Jinwei didn't know the price of this pair of shoes, these shoes were given to him by An Xin after Jinwei arrived at An Xin's house.Jinwei, who has never cared about fashion, has no idea about this pair of shoes, but simply feels that these shoes are very comfortable to wear.

——Speaking of which... How did uncle know the size of my shoes?

"Of course it's very good! I saw it in a magazine before. I wanted it for a long time, but it's super expensive, and it's a limited-edition shoe that can only be reserved by regular customers, so I can only look at the photos. Satisfied my hunger. Who knew that I saw you wearing these shoes by accident..."

"! Hara, so it's such an expensive thing... I, I..."

I actually accepted this pair of shoes in a daze...

Jinwei quickly looked at his shoes, the pair of shoes that the boy dreamed of were now covered with muddy water, looking dirty.

"Ah... But it's true, after all, you are the young master who lives in that villa, so it's strange that you can't afford these shoes... Hey, I'm so envious! Damn it!"

The boy threw his head back to the sky exaggeratedly and beat his chest.

"Never mind, he's a shoe fanatic."

The boy on the side seemed to think that Jin Wei was petrified by the boy's behavior, he explained kindly.

"Uh, uh..."

Jin Wei nodded blankly.

"If you're the young master in the villa, that means you're in the same class as us? My name is Bai Li, and this guy with a straight face here is Wei Yin."

"Uh, um, my name is Jinwei...how do you know that I'm the transfer student who lives in the villa?"

"Hahaha, we have known this for a long time. How big do you think this village is, and how big is this school? We all grew up together, even if the school years are different, we all know each other. Of course when you see someone you don't know You can guess who you are right away."

Indeed, just like what Bai Li said, although it is a high school, it is actually a very small high school.

If you want to say how small it is, it is a school where elementary school, junior high school, and high school are all combined in one school.

"Say, that's right..."

Jin Wei smiled a little embarrassedly.

That's right, since he went to the village to buy vegetables on the first day, many people recognized him from the second day onwards.

A small place means that the circulation of news is also very fast.

"By the way, what does your uncle do?"

"Eh!?"

Hibiscus looked puzzled.

"Your uncle seems to have lived in our village a year or two ago, but he never interacted with anyone, so there are many rumors about him. Some people say that your uncle is a model, and some people say that your uncle is an outburst household……"

"It seems... not at all..."

Jin Wei thought about it for a while, although An Xin's appearance could probably make him a very popular model, but An Xin's personality did not seem like a person who would be able to do that.

Nouveau riche...

Jinwei vaguely felt that this did not match Anxin's image.

"Then... Could it be that the rumor is true!?"

Bai Qu asked softly with an exaggerated expression.

"The rumor?"

"Isn't that the one! Said that your uncle might be an absconded criminal or something? Woohoo! It hurts! Wei Yin, why are you hitting me again!"

Bai Li glared angrily at Wei Yin who hit him unexpectedly.

"Don't talk nonsense."

"I'm not talking nonsense, the fact is like this! He doesn't go out, most people in the village have never seen him, and they don't know anything about him! So mysterious, it always feels like there is something wrong with him. What are you hiding..."

Jinwei suddenly understood why many villagers in the village looked at him with weird eyes, and some even avoided him.

Unexpectedly, it was because of such unsubstantiated rumors.

After getting along with An Xin for so many days, Jinwei somehow knows that An Xin is a somewhat mysterious person who doesn't like to associate with others.Living in An Xin's house for so many days, he has never seen An Xin walk out of the house...

Although there are many things that Jin Wei doesn't know about An Xin, he doesn't even know what An Xin's job is.

But Jinwei knew very well that Anxin was very gentle to him.

No matter how much he wants to sleep, he will still insist on getting up to eat with Jinwei.

No matter how irritable An Xin is when he wakes up, he will try his best to restrain himself and take into account Jin Wei's mood as much as possible.

No matter how busy he is at work, he will definitely find time to chat with Jinwei and so on.

The people in the village obviously knew nothing about An Xin, so what right did they have to spread such rumors and make such conclusions just because An Xin didn't go out much! ?

Jin Wei couldn't help feeling a little angry.

"Uncle, he is not what you think!"

The growling Jinwei stunned both Bai Li and Wei Yin.

There was a moment of silence between the three of them, sensing that the atmosphere was a bit awkward, and feeling that it seemed wrong for him to be angry at others, Jin Wei felt a burst of apology.

"Ugh! Sorry...but, Uncle is really not a bad person..."

Jinwei muttered.

"Uh, no...it's because I'm speaking too sloppily, I'm sorry."

Instead of being angry, Bai Li obediently apologized to Jinwei, and the guilt in Jinwei's heart deepened.

"But, what exactly does your uncle do?"

The topic was brought back to the original point.

"Eh! I, I don't know..."

Jinwei spoke in a very soft voice, inexplicably, he felt a burst of embarrassment.

Hearing this, Bai Li stared at Jin Wei with wide eyes.

"What about...the age?"

"No, I don't know..."

"Then is your uncle married?"

"I think should not be……"

Since there was no woman in that family, An Xin should be unmarried, but Jinwei is still not sure.

"So is there anyone he's dating?"

"I don't know... probably not..."

Because after living in this house for so many days, Jinwei has never seen a woman come to the house.But in fact, he is not sure, whether An Xin is talking about a long-distance relationship.

Faced with the question asked by Bai Li, Jin Wei, who knew nothing about it, made Bai Li feel a little helpless.

"Why do you feel so strange? You obviously live together, but you don't know anything about your uncle. It's like two strangers!"

He wanted to refute, but Jin Wei couldn't refute.

Because what Bai Li said was the truth, they obviously lived together, but Jinwei didn't know anything about the mysterious An Xin...

Jinwei opened his mouth, but couldn't speak, and finally had to end with an embarrassing smile.

*

As a result, although Jinwei had made two friends at the end of the day, he was still troubled by that matter all day long.

Jinwei wanted to know about Anxin, and didn't want to be an ignorant cohabitant.

But he didn't know how to speak.

An Xin didn't mention it, which proved that An Xin didn't want to talk about it.

Once Jinwei thought of this, the idea of ​​going back to ask Anxin was so weak that it was about to disappear.

As a result, he was a little out of his mind throughout the day, and even messed up dinner.

Either misplaced the seasoning or added too much water, or it was burnt.It is reasonable to say that the only rice that should be no problem has become something that is not like porridge because of too much water.

"Yes, I'm sorry...I, I..."

Jinwei was very clear about the reason for the abnormal level, but he couldn't let An Xin know.

An Xin quietly looked at the dark dishes on the table, without complaining or saying anything, then silently picked up the bowl on the table and walked slowly towards the kitchen.

——Uncle must be angry...

Jinwei, who couldn't help but start thinking wildly, was a little scared, but after a while, Anxin sat down at the table with a bowl of porridge and rice mixture and began to eat those dishes that were disgusting even in appearance. Dark Cuisine.

"Wow! Don't, don't eat!"

Jinwei was so shocked that he didn't care about anything else, he quickly reached out and grabbed An Xin's hand holding the chopsticks, but An Xin still took a bite.

"Say, maybe it will ruin your stomach!"

"Isn't it good to waste the food you worked so hard to make? And it's not too bad to eat."

An Xin spoke calmly, eating those meals that can only be described by the word "miserable" with a very indifferent expression.

Seeing An Xin's eating, Jin Wei thought for a moment that the food was not as horrible as it appeared on the surface, but after trying it, the food was so bad that even he, the cook, found it hard to swallow.

But even with such meals, Anxin would still eat them without distaste.

Think here.Jin Wei's heart couldn't help but warm up.

"There seems to be something wrong with you today. Did something unpleasant happen at school?"

Jinwei's abnormality is obvious, and An Xin is not blind.

"Hmm...not..."

Although it happened in school, but the object of concern is An Xin.

"You won't lie at all, there must be something, don't hide it from me."

"!Well!"

I know I shouldn't ask, but I still care.

Jinwei pursed his lips, hesitated for a while, and finally said hesitatingly: "Today... my classmates asked me what my uncle does... There seem to be many sayings in the village, such as uncle is a model, or an upstart , or... a criminal who has escaped..."

"and then?"

Anxin urged.

"Of course I don't think it's either...but then I realized that I don't know anything about Uncle..."

"What if you know?"

If you know...

"Could it be that you are afraid that I will harm you just like the villagers in the village are afraid that I will harm them?"

An Xin asked back indifferently, at first thought that An Xin was angry because of this, Jin Wei was so startled that he quickly raised his head and shook his head vigorously.

"D-Of course not! I believe my uncle won't harm me! It's just... I want to know something about my uncle..."

"Even if you know about me, it doesn't matter. As long as you know that I won't harm you, isn't that enough?"

Is that so?

Jin Wei always felt that something was wrong.

He wanted to know Anxin because he...

because?

It seemed that the words that were about to come to mind suddenly disappeared, and the feeling was vague, as if covered by a layer of tulle, and Jinwei couldn't tell what that feeling was.

But he didn't dare to continue asking.

From the conversation just now, Jinwei could really feel how much Anxin didn't want Jinwei to know about him.

Fear of being hated by An Xin, and not wanting to be hated by An Xin, such feelings linger in his heart, making Jinwei a coward, not daring to ask more questions.

——Obviously my uncle knows everything about me, but I don't know anything about my uncle. Uncle is too good.

An Xin clearly noticed Jin Wei's slightly sad expression now, and An Xin, who didn't intend to comfort Jin Wei but didn't want Jin Wei to continue immersed in this gray mood, chose to change the subject.

"By the way, how did it feel to go to school to report on the first day?"

"Eh!? Uh... well, it's okay... I met two friends, and they... are not bad."

Jin Wei said softly, and he lowered his head slightly.

——If you don’t know anything, does this mean that your uncle is actually wary of you?Because in general, if he has let go of his guard against you, you shouldn't know him at all like you do now, right?

Suddenly remembered what Bai Li said, which made Jin Wei feel very unhappy.

Is the relationship between him and An Xin really what Bai Li said?

After the family passed away, the only person who extended a helping hand to Jinwei was Anxin.

There is no one else who will treat Jinwei so tenderly except An Xin, even Jinwei's parents. At least the parents' attention will always be on the autistic younger brother, and they will never give any to Jinwei.

An Xin like this is full of guard against Jin Wei! ?

Jinwei couldn't help feeling a sense of disobedience from An Xin's words and deeds.

Although Anxin kept a distance from Jinwei in words, but he was silently caring for Jinwei in action, so no matter how sleepy An Xin was, he would try his best to eat with Jinwei.

Even today's meal was the same, he didn't have to force himself to eat this meal that was so delicious that it was said to be pig food, but An Xin was still eating without saying a word.

After seeing his shoes taking off the soles, An Xin silently bought Jin Wei a new pair of shoes...

"Huh? Really."

An Xin raised his head and glanced at Jin Wei, and suddenly, he couldn't help narrowing his eyes.

"Since we're friends, let's invite them to our house sometime."

"!? Eh? Can, is it possible?"

I thought that An Xin was a type of person who would be somewhat resistant to outsiders coming to his home, so hearing these words from An Xin's mouth really surprised Jinwei a lot.

"Nothing wrong, right? Didn't I tell you to treat this place as your own home? Since it's your friend, there's nothing wrong with bringing your friend home to play properly."

Again, thoughtfulness and tenderness like this.

"Um... well, thank you uncle."

It just so happened that Bai Li mentioned today that he wanted to visit Jinwei's house. He was still a little worried, but now Jinwei, who was struggling with how to refuse, now has one less worry.
