shelter

In the living room, Zhou Lan was still talking on the phone, Zhou Jingtang slumped on the sofa with a look of lovelessness, every cell in his body was boiling, he still couldn't believe what he saw.

It was drizzling outside, and there were frost on the glass of the floor-to-ceiling windows in the living room. He looked away for a long time, then suddenly stood up and said to Zhou Lan, "I'm going to Ning Zhe's house."

Zhou Lan looked at him in surprise.

Zhou Jingtang was so upset that he grabbed his coat from the low table and rushed out without an umbrella.

When he put on his hat and limped out of the gate, the security uncle recognized him and asked, "Where are you going? Let's go home and rest after everything is like this."

"friend's house."

Zhou Jingtang felt that he had to find someone to distract him, he always thought of Shen Qi living opposite him when he stayed at home.Thinking of Shen Qi, his brain throbbed with pain.

Ning Zhe was shocked when he opened the door and saw Zhou Jingtang. His parents were not at home all year round, and no one came during the weekdays. When someone knocked on the door suddenly, he thought it was for electricity bills.

"Did you... hit a ghost?"

Zhou Jingtang pushed him away and entered the room, regardless of whether his clothes were wet or not, he slumped on the sofa with some exhaustion.He didn't hit a ghost, but he might as well have hit a ghost.

Ning Zhe threw him a cigarette, "Is something really wrong?"

"..." Zhou Jingtang opened his mouth, and swallowed the words when they reached his lips. He wanted to find someone to confide in, but he couldn't.He didn't know why Shen Qi disguised himself as a woman, but if he said it, it would be the same as stripping Shen Qi naked and throwing him on the street.

"Tell me, brother will analyze it for you." Ning Zhe said.

Zhou Jingtang was silent for a long time, and went to the bathroom to find a towel to wipe his hair on his own, and casually put it on his shoulder after wiping, as if he had nothing to say.

"Your father came to Liucheng to kill you?" Ning Zhe said, "It doesn't make sense, you've become more honest recently, and you know how to drag people to places where there are no one."

"You..." Zhou Jingtang sighed, "Forget it, wash up and go to sleep."

Ning Zhe was curious, he had never seen Zhou Jingtang's abnormal appearance before, even when he was packed to Liucheng a few years ago.

"Could it be that Shen Qi is ignoring you again?"

Zhou Jingtang stopped, paused for a second, and continued to move.

Ning Zhe felt that he was close to the truth.

The consequence of a drizzle was that when I woke up the next morning, I found my head was heavy and my throat was sore.Zhou Jingtang felt that he had really seen a ghost. He hadn't caught a cold for many years, but he caught a cold because of a drizzle.

In the final analysis, he felt that it was Shen Qi who frightened him too much, causing his immune system to have problems.

When going to school on Monday, Shen Qi waited for Zhou Jingtang at the entrance of the alley for a long time. When he was about to be late, he met Zhou Lan who was going to work.

"Xiao Tang, he went to Ning Zhe's house yesterday and didn't come back all night." Zhou Lan said, "Don't wait, little girl, he doesn't know where he died."

"Thank you, aunt." Shen Qi said, "Goodbye, aunt."

Zhou Lan watched the little girl walking away with her schoolbag on her back, and felt that the little girl was really obedient and polite. She never thought that although her silly nephew likes to think with his fists, it is okay to pick on girls.

The weather suddenly dropped in temperature, and Shen Qi was blown by the cold wind so that his hands and feet were icy cold. When he arrived at school, he entered the classroom with his front feet and started class with his back feet.

Zhou Jingtang didn't come to class, and Lin Yuan was the only one behind.

The whole morning class was exhausting, Shen Xi always felt that something was missing, thinking about it carefully, it was just that Zhou Jingtang who was always staring at the back of his head was missing.

When school was over at noon, Shen Qi stood at the stairs that must be passed by the third year of high school, and after reaching Ning Zhe, he asked him: "What's wrong with Zhou Jingtang?"

Ning Zhe was puzzled, it seemed that Shen Qi didn't ignore him, so what happened to his brother's dying look?

"I have a cold," Ning Zhe said.

Shen Qi nodded and didn't ask any more questions.

Ning Zhe ate lunch at the school gate after school at noon, then went to afternoon class, and didn't go home until 10:30 pm after evening self-study. When he opened the door, he found that the lights were not turned on.

"I'll go, Brother Jing, don't tell me you haven't woken up all day," Ning Zhe turned on the light and left the breakfast he prepared for him in the morning without moving. As soon as he entered the bedroom, he saw Zhou Jingtang wrapped himself in the quilt.

Ning Zhe touched his forehead, "Fortunately, he didn't have a fever."

Zhou Jingtang said, "Pour me a glass of water."

Ning Zhe went to the living room to get him a glass of water, put it on the table beside the bed, and said, "Today Shen Qi asked me why you didn't go to class."

When Zhou Jingtang heard Shen Qi's name, his mind cleared up a lot, and the feeling of stepping on the clouds dissipated a lot, as if he had hit a certain position in the center not lightly but not hard.

"What did you say?"

"Let's be honest," Ning Zhe said, "I'll just say you have a cold."

"And then?" Zhou Jingtang asked.

"There's nothing left," Ning Zhe smiled, "Do you still expect him to love you?"

Zhou Jingtang sighed, "Go out and cook, I haven't eaten today."

Ning Zhe resigned himself to going out to cook for others, and fiddled in the kitchen for a while to make a bowl of noodles.

After Zhou Jingtang pulled the noodles, he retreated to the bed.

If you sleep too much during the day, your mind will become clearer at night.Zhou Jingtang rested his head on his hands and stared at the ceiling, sorting out the details between him and Shen Qi bit by bit.

He likes Shen Qi, but he can't say why, or even why he likes him. When he slowly recovers, the only thing he can be sure of is that he likes him.

But what did he see?

He saw Shen Xi's body, which had exactly the same structure as his.

He was sure and affirmed that Shen Qi was a boy.

Zhou Jingtang actually wanted to cry for a moment, especially when Ning Zhe's snoring resounded through the sky, he almost doubted his own life. He was obviously a good and soft girl the day before, and suddenly found that it was with Ning Zhe. The creatures that can stand on a sock are of the same sex.

Zhou Jingtang couldn't accept it.

When dawn approached, he made a decision that he would not like Shen Qi any more from now on.He likes girls, he's not gay.

Zhou Jingtang secretly told himself, so be it.

Ning Zhe was woken up by the alarm clock in the morning. He turned his head to see that Zhou Jingtang beside him hadn't closed his eyes. He probably guessed that Zhou Jingtang hadn't slept all night.

After eating some breakfast casually, the driver of Ning Zhe's family took them to the school and parked the car opposite the school to let them get off.

"Yo, good morning."

Zhou Jingtang heard that Ning Zhe, who got off the car first, was greeting someone else, and only after getting off from the other side did he realize that the person was Shen Qi.

Suddenly the four eyes met.

Zhou Jingtang's back was stiff, and he did not dare to look for another second, then he dodged and looked away, then grabbed Ning Zhe's satchel, and said impatiently: "Let's go, class is about to begin."

Ning Zhe was pulled by him and almost fell down. He looked at his watch and found that it was still very early, and said, "You're sleeping stupidly, it's still very early. Besides, who are you, are you afraid of being late?"

While walking, Ning Zhe turned his head and said to Shen Qi: "There is a chance to play together."

Shen Xi walked behind, he didn't understand why Zhou Jingtang suddenly treated him like a scourge.Zhou Jingtang in front walked very fast, and disappeared at the stairs after a while.

When Shen Qi entered the classroom, Zhou Jingtang was already on the seat, he was lying on the table, Shen Qi could only see the top of his head.

Shen Qi sat on his seat, took out the thermos from his schoolbag, turned around and lightly poked Zhou Jingtang's arm.

Zhou Jingtang didn't respond, so he poked again patiently, this time Zhou Jingtang raised his head, looking at him coldly and impatiently.

"What's the matter?" Zhou Jingtang asked.

"Here you are," Shen Qi took advantage of the moment when he straightened up and put the thermos cup in front of him, feeling like he was holding a thermos cup in his arms.

Zhou Jingtang kept a straight face, he thought that if he was more ruthless, Shen Xi would go away by himself.

As a result, Shen Qi quickly opened the thermos, and the heat gushed out, making Zhou Jingtang's jaw itchy.

"Drink more, and you can take a meal of medicine at noon. Don't buy the box-by-box ones in the pharmacy. You should buy the one prepared by the doctor. It is more effective. Go to bed early tonight. If this is the case, you will be fine tomorrow."

Shen Qi spoke very slowly, and every word was clear.When he talks, he always looks into other people's eyes habitually, earnestly and attentively.

Zhou Jingtang closed his eyes in despair, not daring to look at him, and not daring to listen to his voice.

He discovers a terrible truth.

That is, he still likes Shen Qi.

He gritted his teeth, for the first time in his life, he realized what it means to hate iron but not steel.Mingming spent the whole night sorting out this mess, and finally made a decision that he no longer likes Shen Qi.

Then when he stood in front of him again, just handing him a bottle of hot water, without even a disturbing smile, the defense line he had worked so hard to build completely collapsed.

He still likes Shen Qi.
