Tropical Allergy [ABO]

Ruan Weilin hung up the phone, trying to adjust a suitable expression: "You heard it too... sorry."

Jiang Shuo shook the cup in his hand, the ice cubes jingled, and he had an expression that I had known for a long time: "If the apology is useful, there is no need for the auntie of the neighborhood committee."

"Then I'll go first, are you okay?"

"You treat me like I'm three years old." Jiang Shuo waved his hand, "Hurry up, you guys..."

"You won't secretly say in your heart that I forget my friends after seeing sex, will you?"

"Hey, that's what you said, not me."

"What about you?"

"Anyway, the ultimate goal has been achieved. I will go home after shopping by myself. Oh, hurry up, I will be nagged by your family again if I am late. The experience is extremely bad."

"Don't be depressed." Ruan Weilin joked.

"Maybe really, don't look at me like this, I'm actually very fragile." Jiang Shuo grabbed the paper bag with the hot silver LOGO printed on it, "Thank you for today."

life...

Looking at the back of Ruan Weilin leaving in a hurry, Jiang Shuo threw the empty bottle into the trash can, feeling unspeakably melancholy.He had an appointment with Ruan Weilin, Zhang Yan called him and called him away without any explanation, and he was left halfway, which sounded miserable.Although Jiang Shuo was not naive enough to use his status as a friend and lover to weigh weight in Ruan Weilin's heart, he just thought that the friendship of friends for more than twenty years was not worth the joy of fish and water for a few years, and he couldn't help feeling a little bit emotional.

There is really nothing first-come-first-served about feelings.

Instead of saying that Zhang Yan pried Ruan Weilin away, it is better to face the envy in my heart.Needless to say, the young couple in his circle of friends, Li Xin is a wife and daughter, even Yuan Le and Zhong Peisheng have been dating for several years, and he is almost 30 years old and still alone, with a bleak relationship history.

But it's not completely blank either.Calculating that there were only four days left before the agreed date, he touched the smooth fabric in the paper bag, which was the result of Ruan Weilin's special trip to accompany him to choose today.

He wanted to meet his inseparable thoughts, the fateful cause and effect, and the only tie.

It was getting late, and there was nothing to do at home now, so Jiang Shuo decided to wander around a few times before having dinner.This business district is quite far from his home, and he seldom comes here, so he lost his direction for a while.Looking up through a dimly lit area, it is a game hall.He stood at the door and looked in. There were students carrying schoolbags everywhere, and the word "young" filled every focused face.His fragile heart, which was about to enter middle age, was hit, so he still chose to leave.

The music behind him was loud, and Jiang Shuo got a headache from the noise. He wanted to find a quiet place to stay, and he walked forward with his palm on one eye, and bumped into something small head-on.

The culprit blurted out an unfamiliar word, then changed it into Chinese, and put on a surprised expression when he looked up: "Eh, uncle?"

Why does this plot seem familiar?Jiang Shuo looked down, she was a little girl, only as high as his waist, she looked familiar.But he couldn't remember the reason for the acquaintance.

He hurried to catch up with another girl, and wanted to apologize for the child, but he heard this.Different ages showed the same surprise: "Know him every year?"

"Yes." The younger one replied.

Jiang Shuo pointed to himself uncertainly: "... Me?"

The little girl nodded and raised a bright smile: "Ice cream!"

what.

Taste is always connected with memory, Jiang Shuo remembered.

A chance encounter in the rest area of ​​the museum, Liang Long's food companion sitting together under his tail.Jiang Shuo didn't expect to meet again, let alone remember him.He knelt down and touched her head: "Hello, little guy."

They didn't delay for too long, and they greeted a few words, and soon the girl led the children away.Jiang Shuo went to find a place to eat alone, and sat by the window thinking about the meeting just now.

Did the sense of familiarity come from there?

But Jiang Shuo always felt that he had seen her more than once.

He saw cute children on the road to tease him not once or twice, but this one was so familiar, his appearance, tone of voice, breath... It seemed to be the intimacy brewed by some obscure day and night companionship.

He was there half tasting delicious food and half thinking about life. He didn't notice anyone passing by him outside the window, and he didn't see anyone.

When Jiang Shuo contacted Qiao Jue and proposed to meet, Jiang Shuo didn't expect that the other party would agree so quickly, and he was quite calm.At that time, the voice heard from the electric current was slightly distorted. It was not until I met this person face to face that the previously empty nostalgia became real.

They've been together for years—even if "together" isn't a strict word.The relationship once reached the point that as long as they didn't appear at the same time, they would be asked where the other was. It seemed that everyone believed that they would not be separated.

He had already asked Ruan Weilin to accompany him to pick out clothes, and today he dressed up solemnly, but the other party dressed very casually, Jiang Shuo thought that this was their attitude towards the appointment to a certain extent.But he didn't pay much attention to it. It's been a long time since we saw each other, and now he just wants to take a good look at each other.

Qiao Jue still had the same bland taste as before, eating very slowly, eating very little, and talking very little.

But Jiang Shuo found something different.

"your face……"

"It's okay." Qiao Jue lowered his head and cut the fruit slowly. After thinking about it, he added an explanation, "I'm a little allergic."

"Are you allergic?" Jiang Shuo frowned, "Why didn't I know."

Qiao Jue looked up at him, but said nothing.

Jiang Shuo immediately realized that what he said was inappropriate - too many things he didn't know had accumulated during the thousands of wrong days and nights.

"I didn't expect you to come back. The last time we met, I didn't talk properly. It's really... Long time no see."

"……Um."

He could feel that Qiao Jue didn't have much desire to chat, and picked out the most clichéd sentences: "How have you been these few years?"

He knew that the question was meaningless, and he still wanted an answer, even though he wasn't even sure whether he wanted to hear yes or no.

But Qiao Jue didn't give any of the expectations, just smiled.

The other person was opposite him, not too far away, chatting about tepid topics, wearing a mask of intimacy.In the matter of cooking reunion, the other party is much more mature than imagined, but his position is weak, his words are lacking, his mind is faltering, and he is a complete loser.

In these years, even in those days when Qiao Jue left, Jiang Shuo never felt so emptiness ahead as he did today, and could only sigh.

During this meal time, nothing valuable was discussed. In fact, Jiang Shuo was not sure what he wanted, let alone thinking about what else Qiao Jue was willing to give him.

After dinner, he sent Qiao Jue home. The parking lot was deserted, except for their footsteps from far to near.Qiao Jue didn't shirk from sitting in the co-pilot's seat, and subconsciously glanced at the bottom of the rearview mirror. There used to be a safe plaque where they prayed together in the temple, but now it was empty.

Jiang Shuo didn't notice this detail, and his mind was buzzing - he and Qiao Jue were in the same small confined space again, something that he couldn't even imagine a few days ago.

The person he thinks about day and night is close at hand, and before the brain sends out instructions, the pheromone has slowly overflowed and surrounded all the senses of the two people.He didn't bother to distinguish it, who they belonged to, only knew that he wanted to be close to the person next to him so much.

If he hugged and kissed him, Jiang Shuo thought, would it be possible to fill in the puzzle piece that has been vacant in his life?

They had done the most intimate things on similar occasions, and now they are not far apart, but they are almost strangers.Impulse burns reason, if you can get rid of everything to pheromone, you will be confused——

"A Qiao, I..."

He got closer and closer, and was about to touch the person next to him. He tentatively touched the back of his neck with his palm, and almost found the gland by the memory of his body.

But Qiao Jue didn't respond with the same tremor as he expected.

"If you kiss me now," Qiao Jue said flatly, without sadness or joy, "I will definitely beat you."

"...Sorry." Jiang Shuo froze, stepped back abruptly, took a deep breath, "I offended."

The air stagnated awkwardly for a few seconds, and the sound of each other's heartbeats amplified infinitely in the carriage.

"Take me back." Qiao Jue sighed after a while, "Then...don't see you again in the future."

Qiao Jue closed the door and heard the sound of the car getting farther and farther away. She clutched her collar tightly and her legs softened and slid down the door.

You obviously sprayed so many inhibitors and took medicine before going out, you obviously thought you were mentally prepared, and you obviously spent so many years smearing away the conditioned influence, why is it still like this...

Why, always defeated in front of this person.

Fortunately, today Sui Sui was sent to Liang Ren's side, so that the child didn't see his embarrassing side.It seemed cruel to say it, but he really had no way to sort out his mood to face the blood belonging to Jiang Shuo in the short interval after reuniting with Jiang Shuo.

The moment he saw Jiang Shuo, his body let go of its defenses as if it had self-awareness.If it weren't for a tight string in his mind that was strangling his consciousness, he would have been unable to hold on.And the moment Jiang Shuo approached, the pheromone he was so used to was mixed with thousands of memories and looked down at him. All the sweet and painful past weighed him down.

Fortunately, he has not completely lost himself, and he can still stop.

...Fortunately it stopped.

He began to regret why he agreed to Jiang Shuo.It is because of how shallow and confused one's cognition is that one is confident that even if anything happens, there will be no mistakes.As a result, it was just a meeting, and I was flustered and lost.

After going around for so many years, I fell short and returned to the original point.

Jiang Shuo wants to see him.

Jiang Shuo wants to take him home.

Jiang Shuo said, do you want to... with me?

Jiang Shuo touched his body for the first time.

Jiang Shuo temporarily marked him.

Jiang Shuo told him he couldn't come back tonight and asked him to go to bed early.

Jiang Shuo kissed his tears away.

Jiang Shuo said that I will not send you off, and you have to take care of yourself in the future.

……

The painful suffocation was forced along the blood all the way to the internal organs, burning every nerve in him.Qiao Jue held her head and buried herself in the crook of her knees.

Who will teach him how to resist the only person he has ever loved, he won't.
