night fades

With such a suggestion in mind, Zhou Ning'an's mind was in a mess. Regardless of the fact that it was still raining outside, and he didn't bring an umbrella or the driver, he wandered aimlessly. Before he knew it, he and Lin Ye walked together. the street you passed.

He had stood in the distance countless times, watching Lin Ye pass by here, not knowing that there was another him in the crowd, and walked to other places by himself.

Now, he finally walked through here with Lin Ye and watched him go home with his permission.He really wanted to know what Lin Ye's house looked like, so that when he thought about what Lin Ye was doing in the future, he could see a more specific picture.

It would be great if he could also be invited into that home, maybe in that house he had never been to before, he could find some feeling of belonging to home.

It was so ironic, he had never been to the place he thought could be his home.

Zhou Ning'an didn't know, if he continued in the current way and reached the last step with Lin Ye, would Lin Ye be willing to take him home?He really didn't want to do this in other places, because it would make him too aware that he was just a client, at most a one-night stand, someone who Lin Ye would never have feelings for.

Although he also knew that to Lin Ye, he was at best a good financial backer, and Lin Ye didn't like to have too much to do with people like him.

This realization made him despair.

His body was hot and cold, and his heart was full of noise. All kinds of voices laughed mockingly in his head, and Zhou Ning'an could barely support himself.

Until he saw Lin Ye appearing at the corner of the street, his whole world fell silent.

Then, when he saw Lin Ye holding someone in his arms, he heard the sound of the world collapsing.

The rain was already light, but the patter was very dense, and the dusk became foggy. Lin Ye and the boy in his arms seemed to be standing in another world separated by the rain and fog, making him even cry out. No sound.

When he came back to his senses, he realized that he had lost his mind and called out: "Lin Ye?"

Lin Ye held the umbrella in one hand, protecting the boy under the umbrella. Half of his body was exposed outside, his arms and shoulders were already soaked, and he still held two cups of milk tea in that hand.Hearing someone calling him, he followed the voice and asked with some doubts, "Boss Zhou?"

Seeing them walking towards him together, Zhou Ning'an subconsciously wanted to run away, but Lin Ye's eyes were like magnets, he couldn't move, but his lips trembled a little.

As Lin Ye got closer, he realized that Lin Ye didn't have his arms around the child, but just wrapped his arms around him and held an umbrella, protecting him under the umbrella, looking like he was taking care of him.

Zhou Ning'an looked at the boy. He had a very handsome face, his facial features were not yet fully developed, and his figure was still a teenager. He should be very handsome in five years.Standing next to Lin Ye now, he looked immature, his eyes were on the ground, and he looked preoccupied.

Zhou Ning'an thought to himself, that was the arms he longed for, and being so protected in his arms, he was still so unsatisfied.

"Boss Zhou, why are you here?" Lin Ye's voice pulled him back from his thoughts. He saw Lin Ye raised his eyebrows in confusion, "You came to see me?"

"Hmm... I wanted to come out for a walk, and I came here before I knew it."

Lin Ye saw that his whole body was so wet that he wished he could wring out the water, and joked, "Where did he sneak from? What a leisurely moment."

"I happen to be doing something nearby..." Zhou Ning'an felt his heart burning, and asked anxiously, "Who is this child?"

"Ah, boy, this is Zhou...boss. One of my..."

"Friend." Zhou Ning'an answered, emphasizing it again, not knowing who to tell, "We are friends."

Lin Ye smiled gratefully at him, then looked at the boy with a serious face and said, "Stop losing your temper, go back and talk to your mother, it's normal for her to not accept it for a while, it's a lifetime, How can everything go well. Your task now is to study hard, and then let me know that you skipped class and came to me, and I will definitely beat you for your mother first. "

"But, Brother Lin..." The little boy stomped his feet unwillingly.

"No but!" Lin Ye glared at him, but his tone softened, and he persuaded him with nice words, "Knowledge is power, haven't you heard it? Someone is worrying about giving you money for you." Going to school is just to let you have a good future in the future. Do you think you are worthy of her if you don’t work hard? It’s not your fault that you like men, but your mother has raised you for so long and suddenly heard that she will not be able to hold a grandson in the future. Isn’t it uncomfortable? She’s right in thinking, this road is really difficult, after all, it’s for your own good. You’re already a third year in high school, and you’re almost an adult. The important thing is the word responsibility. You go back now, coax your mother well, and start going to school for me tomorrow, and finish the college entrance examination before talking about other things."

"Okay," the boy mentioned his mother, his eyes were red, and he didn't want to show it in front of Zhou Ning'an, so he just nodded with his head down, "I see."

"Take this back, your mother probably likes it." Lin Ye stuffed him with the milk tea in his hand and the umbrella in his hand, "Go, the subway station is just opposite, I'll watch you pass. When you get home, follow me Say it, remember."

"Okay Brother Lin, I see." The boy sniffled, "Thank you."

"Damn boy, thank you for nothing. After passing the exam, I invite you to dinner." Lin Ye lightly slapped him on the shoulder, and after a few more instructions, the boy took the milk tea and left.

Lin Ye turned to look at Zhou Ning'an, who was soaked all over, and said with a smile, "A kid in the third year of high school, he skipped class and ran out after being told a few words about being out of the closet with his family. What a kid, he's not sensible."

"He likes you?" Zhou Ning'an blurted out, without any time to stop himself, "I mean... he came out because of you? You, do you also... like him?"

Lin Ye gave him a strange look, and explained: "We met playing basketball together. He knew that I also like men, so he came to me. I didn't know that he was also gay, so wouldn't he be a bad boy?" .”

After a while, Lin Ye asked again slowly: "You said you don't mind if I find someone else during this period, right? I usually have my own freedom in my private life, do you remember?"

"Ah, yes, yes, I know." Zhou Ning'an replied incoherently, "I don't mean to interfere...I, I just ask."

With such an inappropriate reaction, Lin Ye didn't bother to ask any more. It was not easy enough for him to agree, and Lin Ye didn't need him to be willing.After all, it would not be such a comfortable thing to spend time watching him flirting with others.

Zhou Ning'an felt uncomfortable, but Lin Ye didn't care too much at first.He even went so far as to try to make him feel bad, to end this weird and humiliating relationship early.

"What's going on now?" Lin Ye asked, the umbrella had already been given to Xiaotong, although the rain had subsided a lot, he still didn't want to stand here and play with Zhou Ningan in the rain, leaving him here seemed a little unreasonable.

"I don't know, are you going home?" Zhou Ning'an glanced at him with dark eyes, with tiny drops of water hanging on his eyelashes, which looked quite attractive.

"If I don't have any plans, I'm going home." Lin Ye pondered for a while, looking at Zhou Ning'an who was standing here at a loss, like a puppy who couldn't find a home, his heart couldn't be completely hardened, "How about , you come home with me and dry off first?"

Zhou Ning'an froze for a moment, and then showed an expression of indescribable surprise, "You want to take me home, really?"

Lin Ye scratched his head, his hair was full of water droplets, and felt a little uncomfortable when it was wet. He didn't understand why Zhou Ning'an wanted to go home with him, but he still said: "If you want, my house is in front anyway, you Can wait there for the driver or when the rain stops or something."

It wasn't until he opened the door to let the drenched Zhou Ning'an in that he realized why he took the benefactor home like a stray dog?

This is not at all the same as the nurturing he imagined.
