Keep Your Distance [Rebirth]

puff--

Yun Xingmian just swallowed half of the soup in his mouth, and choked the remaining half.

"Cough-cough--"

Li Hanjin hastily took out two pieces of tissue paper and wiped his mouth while patting his back.

Yun Xingmian snatched the paper, covered her mouth and coughed for a long time before barely stopping.

Li Han took back the bowl that he had brought away in time just now, and took a sip with his head down.

The calmer he behaved, the more guilty Yun Xingmian felt.

He threw the facial tissue into the trash can beside the dining table, and answered bravely: "What contact can I have with them? You're not here, Zang Xiuyi doesn't even care about me."

Speaking of this, he became confident: "It's not me that people are looking at."

Li Han took a deep breath.

"What are you doing?" Yun Xingmian asked.

Li Hanjin took another sip of the soup: "I remember that no vinegar was added when cooking the noodles, why does it smell sour?"

Yun Xingmian gritted her teeth and stared at him, but had nothing to refute.

Li Hanjin lowered his eyes to look at him, his eyes became serious: "Stay far away from them, after I am busy with this period, I will take care of them."

Yun Xingmian opened her mouth, and suddenly felt an urge to tell everything about today.

Li Han had absolutely no idea what he was thinking, and at this moment he suddenly asked: "What about Zang Xiulie?"

"Ah?" Yun Xingmian couldn't react in time, and braked the car without saying a word.

The two looked at each other for a few seconds before he realized what Li Hanjin was asking, and asked in confusion, "What does it have to do with him?"

Li Hanjin was silent for a long time, really couldn't tell what it had to do with him, so he could only drink another mouthful of soup with a sullen face.

Now he feels that he may have really added vinegar to the noodles, why did he drink sour water all over his stomach.

Yun Xingmian was still guilty, but once she lost the opportunity to say something, she seemed to never find the courage to say it.

He stood up: "Eat slowly, I'll go to bed first."

Li Han stared at his flustered appearance carefully, but still reminded him: "Go and brush your teeth again."

Yun Xingmian: "...Oh."

It was hard for him to remember such trivial things.

Monotonous repetitive movements tend to calm one's mind. Yun Xingmian, who got into the bathroom, brushed his teeth for a while, looking at his young self in the mirror, the sense of loss gradually returned.

Sure enough, I don't remember his birthday even after all the cold.

Speaking of which, the two had known each other for so many years, and they only celebrated his birthday once through all the cold weather.

But the gift given to him was the most precious in his life.

It's just that in this life, I'm afraid it will never happen again.

Thinking of this, Yun Xingmian couldn't help but fell to the bottom of his emotions. In order to avoid the cold weather, he lay on the bed as early as possible, but he couldn't fall asleep.

But this time, he implemented the method of pretending to sleep to the end.

Feeling that Li Hanjin went to bed with moisture, Yun Xingmian's eyes closed even tighter.

"Yun Xingmian, are you asleep?" Li Han asked in a low voice.

He only called Yun Xingmian by his nickname in front of his family.

In order to show that she was indeed asleep, Yun Xingmian turned over following his question and let out a small snoring sound.

Interest flashed in Li Hanjin's eyes, and then he stretched out his hand suddenly, took his whole body over, and pressed him into his arms.

A dirty word popped out of Yun Xingmian's heart, but he barely said it.

Lying on Li Hanjin's chest with her eyes closed, Yun Xingmian's mind was overwhelmed.

What is he doing? !Why did you suddenly hug him!

Didn't he take the initiative to push over these days, but was scooped up by this guy? !

He...he...could it be true to himself...

"I'm not used to having less pillows." The voice of Li Han was especially clear in the silent night.

Yun Xingmian: "...???"

There are ten thousand swear words flying through his mind now.

Out of revenge, he pretended that he was not sleeping well, babbled in his sleep, and then stretched out his hands and feet to wrap tightly around Li Hanjin's body, trying to push all the weight of his body over, completely treating it as a wrestling.

Li Han did his best to let him move, only holding the tossing man in his arms with open arms, and slowly curled the corners of his mouth in the darkness where he couldn't see his fingers.

The next day was Friday, and no one in the family remembered how he would look like on his birthday tomorrow, Yun Xingmian didn't say anything, his mood was really not very beautiful.

But when he arrived at school, Shang Sixun was more active than anyone else, wandering around him all day long, chasing Yun Xingmian away after school, and reporting the time and place of the appointment before leaving the school: " Then see you tomorrow at [-]:[-] on Fengwu Road, there is a bar called 'Decadent', I heard people say it's not bad."

Yun Xingmian narrowed his eyes, as expected, Zang Xiuyi wanted to use Shang Sixun's hand to deal with him.

I just don't know what method he will use.

"Understood." Yun Xingmian replied coldly, completely out of character.

Shang Sixun's heart was already filled with desire, even if there was something wrong with him, I'm afraid he wouldn't be able to see it: "Then see you tomorrow."

Yun Xingmian's reaction was to step on the bicycle and gallop away from him.

Dad and Li Hanjin didn't come back for dinner today, after dinner, Yun Xingmian changed into normal clothes and sneaked out the door.

The clothes he wore were bought when he was in the provincial capital, because they were too gaudy, and he had no chance to wear them when he came to Peicheng. When he went out, he bought a half-length wig and a big Sunglasses that cover half of the face.

Then I went to the beauty shop to put on some motherly makeup, and finally stood in front of the full-length mirror in the shop and took a photo—who is this alluring slut? !

Don't talk about others, even he can't recognize himself.

He regretted making himself into such a ghost.

But of course he still takes camouflage as the first priority now.

Forget it, anyway, he can't see this honor himself, so ugly is ugly.

Of course, being ugly was only Yun Xingmian's idea.

His figure was thin, and the half-length wig and makeup covered up that bit of baby fat, giving him a bit more mature and feminine beauty at this moment.

In fact, for good-looking people, as long as they don't deliberately look ugly, they can hold most of their makeup.

Fortunately, the pair of sunglasses covered his face, otherwise there might not be only one bee buzzing around him that night.

It is not the first time for Yun Xingmian to come to a nightclub. Although it has been many years, before he moved to Peicheng, he was indeed a little prince of a nightclub, especially now that the style inside is no different from what he remembered. , as soon as he entered the decadence, he quietly disappeared into it.

Now that he has already made an appointment with Shang Sixun, of course he has to come to the spot in advance.

Yun Xingmian sat on the bar and ordered a glass of wine, but he knew his drinking capacity, the glass just kept shaking in his hand, but he never drank it.

Originally, he thought that his attire was a bit flirtatious, but after he came in, he realized that compared with other people, his attire was really unremarkable.

And just like what the driver said yesterday, there are all kinds of men dancing next to each other on the dance floor, this is a gay bar.

Seeing that he has been looking left and right, the bartender sitting behind the bar probably regarded him as a lonely person who came to hunt for sex, and spoke to him loudly amidst the deafening music: "Why is it so dark and you are wearing sunglasses? You are not afraid of falling ah?"

Yun Xingmian also felt that this shape was a bit eye-catching.

Besides, his sunglasses were originally intended to prevent Zang Xiuyi and Shang Si from looking for them. Since both of them are not here now, it is impossible for him to be recognized on the road in the future with this ghostly appearance.

Thinking of this, Yun Xingmian took off his sunglasses and hung them on his neckline.

The bartender should also be a fellow, his eyes lit up when he saw his appearance.

"Little handsome guy, is he so good-looking and still single?" He raised his eyebrows at Yun Xingmian frivolously, reached out and put down the glass of wine that he had been mixing, inserted the straw, and pushed it in front of Yun Xingmian, "Please drink."

"Thank you." Yun Xingmian smiled at him, "But I'm not single."

"Waiting for your boyfriend?" The bartender looked disappointed.

Yun Xingmian shook her finger at him: "I'll tell you something that will become very popular in the future. Men are big pigs. If you have a partner, it's better not to have one."

The man held up some hope again: "Oh? How should I say it?"

Yun Xingmian rested her chin, looked at the dance floor where everyone was dancing wildly, and half-truthfully said: "Big pig's hooves, I don't even remember my birthday."

"It turns out that today is your birthday." The beauty was frustrated, and it must be the best time to sneak in. The bartender showed a somewhat triumphant smile on his pretty face, and took out a cup from the small refrigerator behind him. A beautiful mousse cake was placed in front of Yun Xingmian, "Then I'll give you this as well, and consider it a birthday cake."

Yun Xingmian looked down: "When you see someone, you send them here and there. There is a mine at home?"

The bartender was amused by him: "I didn't send everyone."

The implication in the words is obvious.

Yun Xingmian also smiled at him: "I accept it, thank you, but I will pay the money myself later."

The bartender heard his refusal and didn't bother.

After all, people in this bar come and go all day long, and he can choose many targets, so he won't feel resentful if he doesn't show his favor.

"I feel like a salesman when you say that."

Yun Xingmian laughed twice, and pushed the cake in front of him: "Then I treat you to a cake, and we are considered friends."

The bartender knew that he was hopeless tonight, so he could only shake his head with a helpless smile.

At this moment, there was a commotion at the door of the bar. Both of them turned their heads and saw a group of people coming in back and forth.

Yun Xingmian's eyes lit up when he saw the person at the head.

This is not the person Zang Xiuyi came to see yesterday.

Seeing his expression, the bartender couldn't help but stagnate: "Didn't you like him?"

Yun Xingmian's heart skipped a beat.

It seems that there is no need to bother to inquire about this news.

After the music on the dance floor ended, it happened to be changed to a more soothing dance music. Many people who were tired from dancing originally wanted to take advantage of this moment to come over for a drink, but after seeing the group of people rushing towards the bar, their footsteps stopped. After hesitating, most of them chose to rush back to the dance floor.

And the bartender winked at Yun Xingmian calmly.

Yun Xingmian saw what he meant, took her wine glass and got off the dance floor, hiding in the dancing crowd in time.

After the bartender finished mixing the drinks ordered by the group, Yun Xingmian watched him gesture in his direction, then put the wine glass in his hand on a table, and got up to follow him walked out behind.

The place where the two went was an alley at the back door of the bar. Compared with the bustling Fengwu Road, this alley seemed a little quieter, and most of the noisy voices in the bar were covered by the door, leaving only some distant background sound.

The bartender took out two cigarettes, held one in his mouth, and handed the other to Yun Xingmian.

But Yun Xingmian took the lighter in his hand, pressed it and approached him: "I don't smoke, but it's okay to light one."

The bartender burst out laughing: "The little guy is still very vigilant."

He lowered his head, and lit the cigarette with the torch in Yun Xingmian's hand.

Yun Xingmian looked at the dark aisle: "Won't you be scolded for smoking when you come out of work?"

"There is still some freedom for these 2 minutes." The bartender took a puff of smoke, "Looking at the look in your eyes just now, you must have taken a fancy to Xiao Da, right?"

"Xiao Da?" Yun Xingmian pretended to be stunned, "You mean the one who started just now?"

The bartender smiled at him: "I don't care about other people, but you have treated me to cake after all, so I advise you to stay away from them."

Yun Xingmian opened her innocent Kazilan eyes: "Why?"

It was also rare for the bartender to see such a cute newcomer in a place like a bar where fish and dragons mixed together. For a while, the heroism in his heart prevailed: "It is said that they all have that disease."

"That disease?" Yun Xingmian was stunned.

"That's it, AIDS! HIV! AIDS!" The bartender looked at him who was not enlightened.

Yun Xingmian: "..." Well, I know your English is very good.

Hearing his words, Yun Xingmian felt that his mind instantly became clear.

Zang Xiuyi didn't have a chance to deal with his grandfather this time, and it seemed that he was targeting him.

Even though he already knew his viciousness, Yun Xingmian couldn't help but feel a chill run up his spine when he thought of his possible plan.

Yun Xingmian's thoughts turned back and forth, but his face remained calm, just pretending to be dubious: "Is it true or not? A group of people have it all? Aren't they all hiding this kind of thing? How could it be possible for you to Know?"

"As for how it got out, I don't know, but there is no impenetrable wall in the world. With such a large group of people, how can they hide it?" The bartender took another deep drag on his cigarette.

Yun Xingmian thought of the taboos those people on the dance floor had towards them just now, and felt that it could be explained.But... "A lot of people know? Then why do you still serve them in your bar? Are you not afraid of chasing customers?"

"The boss used to be an iron buddy with him. Even if something like this happens, it's not easy to drive him away. Fortunately, he is still reasonable and generally won't cause trouble here."

Hearing his words, Yun Xingmian thought to herself, if she didn't do it before, it doesn't mean she won't do it in the future, maybe tomorrow is a new beginning.

"And the wine glasses they use are actually a fixed number, and they are disinfected individually every day. Don't worry about it, just hope for peace of mind." Once the bartender opened the chatter box, he continued to talk about everything.

"What about the others? Why do people come here when they know they are so dangerous." That's HIV, no joke!

Yun Xingmian sounded like a fantasy.

The bartender smiled mockingly, leaned against the wall behind him, looked at the dark sky and said, "Where else can we go? Since you have found this place, you must have checked it. The whole city of Pei is now like this." Let’s be gay. In other places, they are either suppressing their nature, or enduring all kinds of strange looks and scolding. Only here can make them relax. Maybe in their hearts, they can keep up The sick Xiao Da is no different..."

Yun Xingmian could understand a little while listening to his sad words.

It's true, after all, he went back to ten years ago. Now that there is such a gay family in Peicheng, it is actually quite advanced.

On the other hand, he may also be considered lucky. He fell in love with Li Hanjin, who is unmatched by ordinary people, and was forced to come out in front of his parents not long after realizing that he was gay.

Although those days were difficult, at least he didn't have to hide from his parents like many other people did, and at that time he really had a kind of blind self-confidence, thinking that he and Li Hanjin were in love with each other. There is no need to look for any sense of identity among others of the same kind.

Otherwise, he might also be one of those people who would rather take risks than come here to soak.

The life of a few people is not easy after all.

If you really want to go back and live the lives of most people after going through the cold all your life, that would be a good thing.

It was already late at night, and Aqin, smelling of alcohol, saw that the waiting person finally came out, and immediately stomped his feet impatiently, complaining: "What are you doing out here? Just let me freeze to death here."

Although it's only early winter at the end of November, for Peicheng, a city in the north, the middle of the night can already be described as cold.

After experiencing the cold, he didn't feel guilty at all. After all, judging from the alcohol smell on Aqin's body, no one would believe that he really spent half the night blowing the cold wind here.

He handed the card with the phone number written on it to Aqin, and then said, "What's the matter?"

"No, what could be the case, they can't meet every day... But I almost got taken advantage of because I want to go undercover for you, remember to add money!"

He said he wanted more money, but he didn't make any gestures of reaching out to ask for money.

Aqin is actually not that keen on money, as long as he has enough money to eat and drink the next day, he doesn't know how to worry about the night before.

Li Han paused for a moment, even though he thought it was impossible, he couldn't help asking: "Where's the person in the photo? You haven't seen it before, have you?"

Aqin shook his head: "Unless he's staying in the bar right now, then I won't be able to find out, ah, there's a possibility, it's him... disguised!"

The last sentence he said was clearly a joke, Li Han glanced at him sullenly, turned around and left.

And Yun Xingmian, who was hiding in the bathroom at home and secretly removing makeup, sneezed loudly at this time.

Fortunately, when he came back, his mother and grandfather had already gone upstairs to rest, so he hurried into the bathroom after yelling, for fear that they would see him like this.

But when my mother heard the report after he came back, she just responded lazily, and didn't go downstairs to ask him where he went so late.

It's a good thing, but until now, no one in the whole family has thought that tomorrow is his birthday.

Yun Xingmian's mood was really low.

After removing her make-up, Yun Xingmian washed off the smell of alcohol and tobacco on her body, but she didn't immediately go to bed, but took out the homework for this weekend and started to do it with her head down.

Although now Li Han can't give him lectures all the time, but someday when he has a whim, he will always check the homework assigned to him. He is very busy this weekend.

But he obviously ignored the influence of the silence of the night on a person's mood. After finishing a few questions, Yun Xingmian unconsciously lay down on the desk and started thinking wildly.

There is only one hour left before his birthday.

He wasn't such a hypocritical person in the first place, it was just a birthday, but it wasn't a big deal.

However, his mind always involuntarily drifts back to the past, when he celebrated his first birthday.

At that time, he had been pestering Li Han for several months. On the one hand, he felt that the other party seemed to like him, and on the other hand, he felt that he didn't seem to have received much response, and he was worried about gains and losses.

That day, taking advantage of his status as the birthday star, he brazenly threatened Li Hanjin and waited for him in the bar. If he didn't come, he would get drunk in the bar and never go back for the whole night.

Of course that bar wasn't decadent, in fact he didn't quite remember the name, and he didn't know how he had the face to threaten others with his own safety, but he was kind after all, and he found him when he was drunk.

Afterwards, everything was logical, he successfully overwhelmed Li Han with the courage of drunken madness... and then succeeded in seducing him.

Although the relationship between the two of them was still not established after that day, Yun Xingmian stubbornly believed that going through the cold weather was equivalent to giving him himself as a birthday present, and also brought him more precious...

Realizing what he had written on the draft, Yun Xingmian quickly crumpled up the paper, rubbed his hot eye sockets, then quickly climbed onto the bed and buried him in the soft quilt.

Physical and mental exhaustion made him fall asleep quickly, but even when he fell asleep, his brows were furrowed tightly, as if he had been greatly wronged.

When Li Hanjin came back with a chill in his body, he saw his appearance at a glance.

He put his hands under his armpits to warm them up, and after making sure that his fingertips were no longer cold, he leaned over and rubbed the space between his brows.

The disturbed Yun Xingmian muttered in his sleep, "Xiaoshu..."

Thinking that he thought of the younger brother who had no chance to see him again, his heart felt a little sour after experiencing the cold.

He sighed and turned his gaze to the desk next to the bed.

Yun Xingmian usually puts the test paper back in his backpack after finishing the test, so as to save trouble the next morning, but today he obviously couldn't settle down to do the test, the whole test paper has only three choices, and the calculation paper is also clean net.

Li Hanjin helped him put away the paper, looked at the calculation paper without a word, and for some reason, his eyelids suddenly jumped.

He pondered for a while, reached out and grabbed the ball of paper on the table, and slowly spread it out.

What is written on it is indeed the calculation steps of the three questions, and...

Li Hanjin's eyes stared at the three scribbled words, and his pupils constricted suddenly.

Li Xiaoshu.

The three characters written in the scattered formula are Li Xiaoshu.
