The glass of wine last night never disappeared

There were a table of people, Liang Yichuan couldn't drink, Jin Xi couldn't drink, Luo Wen still had to keep a clear head to clean up the mess after the meal, Chu Qingyang was carrying a pregnant woman on his back, and only Shen Xingchen drank a little too much.

In fact, relying on his own tolerance, Shen Xingchen was not drunk, but slightly dizzy.But he felt that too many things were weighing on his heart recently, and he really wanted to use the alcohol to vent his anger, so he simply pretended to be drunk.In case you really did something of a relatively large scale, you will have an excuse later, and you can pretend that you don't remember anything.

After dinner, Chu Qingyang took Liang Yichuan home. Seeing that Shen Xingchen looked drunk, Jin Xi also said goodbye to Luo Wen, and took him upstairs.

"Brother Xi..." Shen Xingchen yelled vaguely, and refused to leave as soon as he left the gate of Luo Wen's house.

"Here." Jin Xi put his arms around Shen Xingchen, letting him lean on him.

"I...I don't want to go home!" Shen Xingchen seemed to be acting like a baby, but also seemed to be emotional.

"Where are you going then?" Jin Xi looked down at Shen Xingchen, his eyes were full of tenderness and affection. He always wanted to look at Shen Xingchen a few more times when he could still look at it unscrupulously.

"Wherever you want... Anyway... don't go home!" Shen Xingchen also raised his head to look at Jin Xi, smiling brightly, as if he had returned to his childhood, looking at the hero who guarded him anytime, anywhere.He thought that Jin Xi had disappeared all these years, and he had already forgotten about this person, but when he saw the needle again on the ground at home that day, he knew that he would never forget the person he met when he was young. It won't drop.

"Okay." Jin Xi readily agreed.Shen Xingchen found that since the day Lin Yuan came back, no matter what he said, Jin Xi always agreed.

After Jin Xi finished speaking, he dragged Shen Xingchen to continue upstairs...

"Hey hey..." Shen Xingchen wanted to break free from him, "Didn't it be agreed that I won't go home?!"

"Go to my house!"

"Damn it, Jin Xi! You've learned to play tricks!" Shen Xingchen enjoyed this feeling of being free and unrestrained. Anyway, he woke up tomorrow morning and refused to admit it, saying that he drank too much.

"Close to ink is black!"

"Damn it, Jin Xi! You've learned to be sarcastic!" Shen Xingchen wanted to lie on the ground, but Jin Xi's strength is really great. If he really sat down on the ground, he might really pick himself up. Run as soon as you carry it on your shoulders... After all, it's not like you haven't carried it before...

After entering the house, Jin Xi put Shen Xingchen on the sofa, asked him to lie down, went to pour a basin of hot water, brought a towel over, and wanted to wipe his face.But Shen Xingchen was not drunk and unconscious after all, so how could he be lying on the sofa obediently.

As soon as Jin Xi walked towards the sink, Shen Xingchen slipped into the bedroom, intending to visit the whole house from there.The last time Jin Xi was drunk, he actually came here once, but at that time he only cared about Jin Xi and didn't notice what the room looked like at all.

However, as soon as he walked to the bed, Shen Xingchen was completely attracted by something.It was a photo frame on the bedside table. Inside the photo frame was an old photo. There were four people in the photo—a couple, a child, and a baby in their arms...

Shen Xingchen looked at that photo in a daze, his impression of his parents' appearance had begun to blur, but right now was when his parents were at their most youthful and prime.Shen Xingchen really looks like Shen Yu. If you don't look carefully, the man in the photo looks like Shen Xingchen standing there.

"Dad...Mom..." Holding the photo frame, Shen Xingchen stroked the faces of Shen Yu and Lin Jing in the photo, and tears ran down his cheeks in an instant.

Jin Xi came out with water and found that Shen Xingchen was not on the sofa. He put the basin on the coffee table, turned and went into the bedroom, just in time to see Shen Xingchen crying with a photo frame.

Jin Xi walked up to Shen Xingchen, hugged Shen Xingchen who was crying silently, and stroked the hair on the back of his head soothingly with one hand.

Maybe it was because Jin Xi's embrace was too warm, maybe it was because he was a bit drunk, maybe it was because the person in front of him gave him a sense of security that he could trust wholeheartedly, Shen Xingchen cried for a long time in Jin Xi's arms.Jin Xi has been standing by the bed and hugging him, which is the only thing he can do now.

Except for Lin Yuan, no one had ever seen Shen Xingchen shed tears, and Chu Qingyang and Luo Wen had only seen him with red eyes at most.Jin Xi knew that Shen Xingchen was not too strong, but was used to laughing in front of people.So, he just stood there, hugging Shen Xingchen tightly, letting Shen Xingchen's tears soak his collar, for a moment, he even desperately wanted Shen Xingchen to feel that his love for him was nothing Inferior to Lin Yuan.

Shen Xingchen finally vented his emotions through crying. After crying, he looked up at Jin Xi, and found that Jin Xi looked at him with a trace of sadness—"He must also want to They." Shen Xingchen thought to himself.

"I... really drank too much." Shen Xingchen smiled awkwardly, the tears were still wet, and there were still thin drops of water on his eyelashes.Then he gently pushed Jin Xi away, and didn't have the mood to visit anymore, so he went straight to the living room, then sat down on the sofa, twisted a towel and covered his face, leaned back on the back of the sofa .

Jin Xi walked over silently, stood for a while, took off the towel, threw it into the basin, twisted it a few more times, and wiped Shen Xingchen's face.He didn't know what to say at this time. He knew that Shen Xingchen was restless and complicated recently, and he wasn't sure if it was because of Lin Yuan or because he wanted to solve TAS.

Shen Xingchen remained silent for a while in that position, but suddenly sat up again, took a deep breath, and dissipated all the haze from his eyes just now.He knows that the matter is not over, and he cannot be depressed.

Sitting on the sofa, staring straight ahead for a while, Shen Xingchen realized what was wrong - a TV wall was built across the opposite side, but there was... no TV in the living room.

"Brother Xi, why doesn't your house have a TV?" Shen Xingchen said as he walked towards the TV wall.

Jin Xi suddenly became nervous, but he was too busy hiding his feelings, and quickly followed Shen Xingchen up, "I... don't like watching TV."

"Then what kind of background wall did you make, it looks so empty," Shen Xingchen said while touching the wall with his hand, but he didn't pay attention to Jin Xi's expression that wanted to rush over to block Shen Xingchen immediately, "This place should be remodeled." For a moment, here...hang something, here...can be used--" Shen Xingchen paused suddenly, he patted the wall, and found that the wall was actually empty...

Shen Xingchen continued to watch expressionlessly, without showing the discovery just now on his face at all, but began to look for something carefully, but prevented Jin Xi from discovering his intentions, as if he was studying the shape of the background wall.Finally, he found a small button hidden in the painting.

Shen Xingchen pretended to move over there inadvertently, he didn't know what secret Jin Xi had hidden behind this wall, and he didn't have any malicious intentions, just pure gossip curiosity.He thought of the gossip about the two little nurses in the hospital, and he also became puzzled. He didn't find a girlfriend at his age, probably because of a promise to Shen Yu that delayed him until now.However, as long as he is a normal person, he will always be attracted to someone. Maybe there is a secret hidden in it.

The more Shen Xingchen thought about it, the more curious he became. The instinct of gossip drove him eager to open the window of exploration. "Oh!" Taking advantage of Jin Xi's inattention, he pretended to tilt his feet and leaned against the background wall, rubbing his right hand on the button.Sure enough... this is a mechanism... the wall is broken...

However, the moment the entire wall was opened, both Shen Xingchen and Jin Xi stayed in place.Jin Xi's head was completely dazed—why did he open it, whether he was careful or on purpose, I... what should I do?He asked, should I deny it...or just admit it? !

The reason why Shen Xingchen was stunned in place was - after the wall was opened, the entire wall inside was covered with sketches and portraits of himself... From elementary school, to middle school, to university, and even after work... some of them were wearing school uniforms Yes, those in shirts, those in academic gowns, those in uniform... Every portrait is lifelike, as if copied from a camera, with various poses and various scenes, the only thing that remains the same is that I am the same one The smiling face seemed to be smiling brightly at the person holding the paintbrush forever...

Shen Xingchen was stunned for a long time, then he suddenly remembered the kiss on the brow last year... "He... usually sits on the sofa, looking at the portrait on this wall..."

"These... are all drawn by you?" Shen Xingchen was still staring at the paintings, without any emotion in his voice.

"Well." Jin Xi no longer knew that he should put himself in that hole, so he could only make as little movement as possible, just like an ostrich, burying his head in the sand would not be in danger.

"Why...why?" Shen Xingchen suddenly thought, how could this be, didn't he stay by his side for so many years because of a promise he made to his father when he was a child? !

"I...at that time, I...couldn't afford a camera!" After Jin Xi finished speaking, he felt ridiculous, what was he talking about? !

"Pfft—" Shen Xingchen couldn't help laughing, "I didn't know that Dr. Jin is so artistic."

"I..." Jin Xi felt that he could no longer stay in this space, "I'll go downstairs to buy a bottle of vinegar!" After saying that, he turned around and was about to go out.

"Jin Xi!" Shen Xingchen turned around and shouted at his back, "Stop!"

Sure enough, Jin Xi paused and stopped, but he didn't turn around for a long time, still facing Shen Xingchen with his back.

"You...are you hiding something from me?" Shen Xingchen asked tentatively.

"No." Jin Xi's tone seemed decisive, and he didn't expect that after hesitating for so long before, he suddenly blurted out a denial.

Shen Xingchen walked behind him and said softly, "Why didn't you tell me?"

"I..." Jin Xi's heart was completely confused, he wanted to say, you already have Lin Yuan, what's the use of me telling you, it's just adding more troubles.

"Do you know? The first time I saw you when I was a child, I thought you were so radiant, landing in front of my eyes like a hero, and saved me from the bad guys. Although you never showed up at that time, but I intuitively know that you are always by my side, because of your protection, I am not afraid of anything. I still keep the gift you gave me on my 11th birthday." Shen Xingchen didn't know why he wanted to tell Jin Xi These, if he hadn't seen the portrait on that wall, he might never have said these words,

"But from the time I was shot, you disappeared. I didn't know... I didn't know that you silently blocked all the disasters for me behind me. I didn't know that you were always by my side. I thought... You finally put me aside and went to live your own life, I thought you would never appear in my life again."

Shen Xingchen's voice became more and more desolate: "Why didn't you tell me? Why didn't you let me know for so many years, and you never left? Why didn't you tell me after the reunion, that you did so much for me? Why did I recognize you? You, you still haven't told me that you have been guarding me not just because of that promise? Why... make me sad for more than ten years?"

Shen Xingchen stared at Jin Xi's back with desolate eyes. At that moment, neither of them could say a word.

"You...you mean..." Jin Xi wasn't sure what Shen Xingchen meant.

"I almost... almost gave up..." Shen Xingchen's voice began to choke, "I almost... decided not to wait for you anymore..."

"I..." Jin Xi turned around suddenly and looked at Shen Xingchen in a daze.

"I almost...missed you..." Shen Xingchen's voice trembled, and the eye sockets that had just dried up became moist again in an instant.

Jin Xi suddenly strode in front of Shen Xingchen, wrapped his arms around his waist, bowed his head and kissed him directly...

Shen Xingchen closed his eyes, enjoying the sudden kiss. After a while, he heard a whisper in his ear - "I almost...lost you too."

Hearing Jin Xi's whisper, Shen Xingchen seemed to have a burst of blood rushing to his heart, and he searched for Jin Xi's lips and kissed it back...
