In the library, noise is prohibited

In the eyes of his parents, Chaosheng had nothing to do at home during the holidays, so they simply asked him to share more housework.Chao Sheng didn't shirk it either. He was so busy on Laba Festival that he cooked several dishes and made porridge with his own hands.

"Okay, I've made a lot of progress outside." His mother praised him for his improved cooking skills, and then remembered something, stopped cutting vegetables and talked to Chao Sheng, "Hey, isn't your cousin getting married after the next year? You know she is now How much has it changed?"

Chao Sheng was absent-minded: "Huh?"

"I used to keep my ten fingers away from the spring water at home, but now I am married and willing to wash dishes and wipe the floor for others all day long, and I have learned to cook."

My mother's tone of voice when talking about others was always half a smile, with a kind of hidden meanness. Many times, Chao Sheng couldn't tell whether she was praising or scolding others.

"So? You want to say that she was wronged?" Chao Sheng didn't know what she wanted to express.

"Why is she wronged? She is obsessed with ghosts." The mother smacked her lips, and then talked to Chao Sheng about the future cousin-in-law. He heard that he wanted money or a car, but he didn't see any advantages.

Chao Sheng was not interested in listening to her gossip about those parents who were short-tempered and sophisticated, so he hurriedly finished his work and stayed away from his mother, and went to cook noodles by himself.

The water in the pot boiled "gurgling" and when the tide was stunned, I recalled the cousin who I didn't see often. In my impression, she was indeed a bad tempered lady who did her own way.

"Ghostly obsessed"?

Chao Sheng stirred the noodles in the pot with chopsticks.

If changing some habits and traits for someone you like is "obsessed with ghosts", then Chao Sheng thinks that he is approaching this level.

Xunzhou's parents are out of town, so he left the city last week.The two have not been able to meet each other recently, so Chao Sheng can only catch up on English at home, hoping to improve his ability and get one step closer to finding a boat.Once his father caught him reciting texts and thought he was going to repeat the college entrance examination.

In the eyes of others, his efforts are insignificant at all, but Chao Sheng knows that this is the first time in his life that he has the idea of ​​"unwilling to be mediocre".

The noodles in the pot were cooked, Chao Sheng took them out and washed them in cold water, when he felt the phone in his pocket vibrate.

Seeing the word "Xunzhou", he almost put the strainer in his hand directly into the vegetable sink, and looked around hurriedly before finding a new basin to pour the noodles into.

"Have you finished your meal?" Xun Zhou asked him, "I'm at the airport."

Chao Sheng was stunned for a moment, and it took a few seconds for him to understand what he meant, "Are you back today?"

Xun Zhou gave a "hmm".

Chao Sheng was naturally overjoyed, but he was afraid that Xun Zhou was joking, so he couldn't help asking: "Didn't you say that you are free on Valentine's Day?"

Unexpectedly, Xun Zhou took it for granted: "The day I meet my lover is Valentine's Day."

Chao Sheng pretended not to hear his rhetoric, and kept silent, but a smile was quietly released on his face.

When Xun Zhou heard that Chao Sheng ignored him, he could guess what his expression was now, so he waited for a while before revealing the real reason: "My mother signed up for a group tour with a colleague a few years ago, and when I took her to the airport in the afternoon, suddenly I want to buy a plane ticket to see you."

"So suddenly..."

"Okay, I actually planned it in advance." Xun Zhou said with a smile, "But I will tell you just now, to see if you come or not."

Of course Chao Sheng wanted to agree, but remembering that he was about to celebrate Laba with his family, they would think he was ignorant to go out now, so he had to delay the time: "Can you wait another hour?"

"It's all right, anyway, I'm going to the hotel to put my things first."

"Hmm." Chao Sheng smiled for the first time in recent days.There are only a handful of opportunities to call Xun Zhou at home, and being able to hear the other party's voice is enough for him to be happy for a while.

The smile from the heart is not so easy to hide. In the eyes of others, he would think that he became cheerful because his family gathered together, but they didn't know that Chaosheng didn't hear any of them clearly during the whole meal.

After dinner, Chao Sheng excused his friend's birthday, put on his coat and went out, and took a taxi to go downstairs to the hotel where Xunzhou was waiting for him.

Xun Zhou wore a camel-colored windbreaker today, which made him look even more slender, and his hair was also slightly cut, looking chic and neat.

Chao Sheng couldn't help but take a few more glances from a distance before stepping forward to say hello.

Xun Zhou took off half of his long scarf, and gently wrapped it around Chao Sheng's neck.Seeing that the bridge of Chao Sheng's nose was flushed from the cold, he had no choice but to stretch out his hand to cover the other's cheek with his own warmth, "You miss me so much that your face turns red."

With his face held in his hands, Chao Sheng could only raise his head and look at him, and murmured: "It's okay."

I always feel that in front of Xun Zhou, I shouldn't reveal too much joy in my heart.

"I haven't bought any clothes for the Chinese New Year yet. Go to the mall now and help me pick them out." Xun Zhou moved his palm away from Chao Sheng's cheek and put it on his shoulder, "Your house is celebrating the holidays today. Before you come out, there is Say hello?"

"Well, anyway, I have nothing to say to them." Chao Sheng felt the strength on his arms increase, so he consciously moved closer to Xun Zhou, "If you don't appear in front of them, they won't pay attention. It's on me."

Xun Zhou looked down at him while walking, and said, "There are a lot of people you don't like to meet."

"Some people don't need to contact them."

"That's what I said, but you'd better cherish the opportunity to get along with them." Before Xun Zhou finished speaking, he laughed, "Otherwise, you will live with me in the future, and you will only come back during the New Year and Mid-Autumn Festival." Go to my mother's house."

The temperature on Chao Sheng's face finally rose, he kept silent and lowered his head to rub Xun Zhou's scarf.Since he didn't refute, Xun Zhou took it as his acquiescence, so he moved his arms up a little bit like an inch, and hugged Chao Sheng's neck affectionately.

The heating in the shopping mall is sufficient, and there is no need for two people to wear a scarf, which is inconvenient to move around.Xun Zhou just took Chao Sheng's hand and took him to the fourth floor to look at men's clothing.

Chao Sheng used to feel embarrassed when he saw couples hugging and kissing on the street, and then subconsciously walked around.But now that he is being led and hugged by Xun Zhou, he is just a little nervous.

"Shall I buy you a set of pajamas?" Xun Zhou casually wandered around, "We wear the same ones, and no one else can see them anyway. If you miss me when you sleep at night, just pretend I'm hugging you."

Chao Sheng shook his head, not because he was shy by Xun Zhou's words, but he couldn't accept others spending money on gifts for him with peace of mind. The closer the relationship, the less he wanted to rely on the other party for money.

Xunzhou seems to like shopping very much, and he is also very particular about the matching of clothes and shoes. Chaosheng remembered his preferences by the way while watching, and wanted to buy a set for himself as a surprise for Xunzhou when he had a chance in the future.

Xun Zhou picked up a shirt and looked at it, then turned to Chao Sheng and said, "I'll try it, you wait outside."

"Yeah." Chao Sheng originally wanted to find a seat in the store, but seeing that there are so many customers now, it's not good to disturb others, so he went to rest on the bench outside.

This place happened to be able to see the skating rink on the first floor, Chaosheng bowed his waist and rested his chin on his hands, observing the crowd below boredly.

Recently, occasionally when I am alone in a daze, I feel a subtle sense of "happiness". It's not emotional, but a strange excitement in my body.It doesn't last long, but it's noticeable every time.

"Paragraphs?"

When he was in a trance, Chao Sheng heard a familiar voice not far away calling himself.Reflexively turning her head, she saw Lin Yao holding two cups of milk tea.

"I saw you downstairs just now. I came up to have a look." Lin Yao walked over and threw the two cups of milk tea into the trash can, "You came out alone?"

Chao Sheng sighed obscenities unconsciously in his heart, subconsciously glanced at the men's clothing store at the back, and was relieved when he didn't see Xun Zhou.

"Hmm... what's wrong with you downstairs?" Chao Sheng reluctantly revealed a look of surprise, but his eyes were full of resistance, "You came out with your girlfriend, right? Where is she?"

"I quarreled, let's go, fuck." Lin Yao sat down impatiently, "I went to the hot pot restaurant early, but I didn't order her favorite food, and she forgot about her when she said I just had a holiday for a week, isn't it? In that joking tone... can I not defend myself? As a result, we quarreled after a few words."

Chao Sheng asked casually just now, and didn't intend to listen to Lin Yao's rambling about his relationship problems. Now all his thoughts are drifting on Xun Zhou's side.

What if Xunzhou came out after trying on clothes...it would be terrible if Lin Yao saw him.

Even though Chao Sheng has been able to accept intimate contact with Xun Zhou on the street, he is still not mentally prepared for him to confess everything in front of his acquaintances so quickly.

"I'm so pissed off, I'm queuing up to buy milk tea for her today." Lin Yao said, reaching into his pocket and taking out several things, "I even bought her a lipstick, damn it, I won't give it away, I will Paint!"

He rummaged through his pockets, took out two more condoms, and threw them on the bench angrily, "I even booked a five-star hotel for her!"

"Hello." Chao Sheng looked at him with complicated eyes.

Lin Yao talked next to Chao Sheng for a long time, finally sighed, and came together to say: "Forget it, you go to the bar with me."

"Ah?" Chao Sheng's attention came back, his face froze, "Now?"

Lin Yao is upset right now, and has no ability to observe words and expressions, "Yeah, aren't you also alone, you go out to buy clothes? Hey, why worry, it's still early before the Chinese New Year."

It can be seen that Lin Yao is in a bad mood now, and Chao Sheng really can't refuse directly, but right now he still wants to spend tonight with Xun Zhou.

After much deliberation, Chao Sheng decided to go downstairs with Lin Yao first, and ask Xun Zhou to call after a few minutes, so that he could take the opportunity to go home in a hurry, and then leave Lin Yao and come back.

Let's do it like this... Chao Sheng got up, and before he left, he saw two condoms left on the bench, so he quickly picked them up and prepared to throw them away later.He followed Lin Yao into the elevator, took out his mobile phone and quickly typed to explain the situation to Xun Zhou.

There was no reply from Xun Zhou, so Chao Sheng breathed a sigh of relief and accompanied Lin Yao to a nearby bar.

As soon as he sat down, Lin Yao directly ordered four glasses, which seemed to mean that he wanted to drink away his worries.Chao Sheng was impatient to make a call, and after a few sips he would glance at the screen of his phone—still no news.

Fifteen minutes had passed, and Chao Sheng felt that Xun Zhou should not have missed the text message.

Lin Yao babbled on himself for a long time, and then turned the topic to Chao Sheng: "Are you going to fall in love this year? Well, let me tell you, if you do, you must never be too nice to that person. No matter what you have at the beginning It’s so touching, you’ll get used to it after a long time.”

Chao Sheng turned a deaf ear to his words.

"No matter how much you like it, you have to hide it." Lin Yao drank two cups and began to talk more, "If you like it [-]%, you can only let the other party see [-] or [-]%. 'She liked you more at ninety.'

Chao Sheng was silent for too long, so he had no choice but to answer: "Then how much did you let her see?"

"One hundred." Lin Yao sighed, "Every test is [-] points, and it will be very disappointing as long as the score regresses once."

Chao Sheng lowered his head and took a sip of the fruit wine, which was sour.

If his liking is [-]%...then what Xunzhou can see is probably his answering process.

When facing the "coordinate axis Y", I almost confessed everything.

"In short, I'm telling you in advance, don't start paying too much with anyone, or you'll get tired of it soon." Lin Yao stretched his waist and said, "Look at who, Xunzhou, English teacher remember? The object is faster than changing clothes, the happiness is all his own, and the sorrow can be thrown to others..."

Hearing these words was too harsh, Chao Sheng frowned, "Stop fucking nonsense, hurry up and go home after drinking."

"Why are you in such a hurry to go home, we are almost twenty."

"I... my mother is still waiting for me to go home and do the dishes."

Chao Sheng looked at the phone screen again, half an hour had passed, and there was still no reply or call from Xunzhou.

No matter how slow the clothes fitting was, it would have been so long without seeing the text message. Chao Sheng guessed that Xun Zhou might be deliberately ignoring him.

Could it be... Angry.

I thought that Xun Zhou would cooperate with the phone call to play a play after leaving for a few minutes in the middle, but now the situation seems to deviate from my expectations.

"Lin Yao, I have to go back." Chao Sheng felt something was wrong, and immediately stood up, "I invite you this time."

Lin Yao just wanted to raise his head to keep him, but Chao Sheng quickly turned around and ran out of the bar gate.

Chao Sheng returned along the original road, took the elevator to the men's clothing store just now, walked around for a long time but couldn't find Xun Zhou, probably left without waiting for him.

He found a quiet place to call Xun Zhou, and waited for several times but no one answered, but he still persisted in calling.

Finally picked it up this time, and Xunzhou said "Hello" in a low voice.

"I'm back..." Chao Sheng said cautiously, "I sent you a text message just now, but you didn't seem to see it."

"I ran out of battery after I got off the plane and called you." Xun Zhou replied, "I kept charging it in the hotel, but I didn't bring it out just now."

"Oh..." Chao Sheng bit his lip, explained what happened just now incoherently, and finally said "Sorry" apologetically.

Both sides were silent for a long time, and Xun Zhou said slowly: "Well, go back and go to bed early."

Although the words were concerned, the tone was obviously disappointed and negative, and Chao Sheng's heart sank.

Xun Zhou took the initiative to hang up the phone without saying another word.Chao Sheng became annoyed—Xun Zhou was really angry, after all, he left without saying hello, which was worse than releasing pigeons before meeting.

When I called again, Xun Zhou didn't answer.

Chao Sheng seldom caused trouble, but now he directly provoked the man he cared about the most, and he didn't know how to apologize to comfort him.

Maybe I can calm down tomorrow... Xunzhou will have to go back after staying for a few days, and he will definitely cherish this opportunity to get along.

Moreover, Xun Zhou has such a good temper, he doesn't seem like someone who can be angry for too long, if he apologizes to him tomorrow, maybe his mood will return to normal...

Chao Sheng kept comforting himself as he got off the elevator.

But, how can I bear to make Xun Zhou unhappy.The other party clearly flew here to meet him in order to surprise him, but he put Xun Zhou aside for his own selfishness.

--no.

Halfway through Chaosheng Road, I decided to change direction.

You can't ignore his feelings at the moment because of Xunzhou's gentleness, and you can't make excuses because you made mistakes unintentionally.

He can't just wait for Xun Zhou to take the initiative to hug him.

When Xun Zhou needs a hug, he should boldly open his arms.

Chao Sheng clenched his fists in the cold night, and found that Xun Zhou's scarf was still around his neck.

— to see him.

Chao Sheng followed his memory and came to the downstairs of Xunzhou's hotel.Since he didn't answer the phone calls or text messages, Chao Sheng had to use other means to contact him.

[Coordinate axis XZ]: I made him angry.

Xun Zhou was watching the game live in the room while eating ice cream, when he suddenly received a mysterious message, he raised his eyebrows in surprise.

He carefully read the content sent by Chao Sheng, couldn't help laughing out loud, and replied: "Then what should we do?"

[Coordinate axis XZ]: I don't know, and I won't answer the phone call.

[Coordinate axis XZ]: So I had to wait downstairs in his hotel.

Seeing this, the smile on the corner of Xunzhou's mouth froze.He was startled, held up his phone and asked, "Why don't you go home?"

[Coordinate axis XZ]: I can't let him go.

Xun Zhou had nothing to say, and immediately sent a text message to Chao Sheng, which was his room number.

Then, he hurriedly stuffed the strawberry ice in his hand into the refrigerator, and threw the snacks on the table into the bag to hide, creating a pitiful feeling that he didn't eat tonight.

The phone is actually fully charged, but I just pretended not to see it.He thought that after showing his anger, Chao Sheng would just go home and worry about it all night, but he didn't expect that someone would come to his door directly.

When the doorbell rang, Xun Zhou waited for a few more seconds before slowly going over to open it.

Chao Sheng raised his head and saw Xun Zhou's listless look, and felt even more guilty.

"I'm sorry." Chao Sheng got straight to the point and didn't beat around the bush, "There won't be a next time."

——Standard boyfriend apology template.

Xun Zhou lowered his eyes expressionlessly, "Then how do you make it up to me?"

"Which day are you flying?"

"The day after tomorrow."

"Then I will stay with you for the next few days." Chao Sheng stared intently into his eyes, "You, don't be angry."

"I'm not angry." Xun Zhou sighed, smiled lightly, pretended to forgive him reluctantly, and reached out to hold Chao Sheng tightly in his arms.

"Then are you sleepy?" Chao Sheng sniffed the perfume on his body.

Xun Zhou rested his chin on Chao Sheng's forehead, shook his head slightly, and lazily said: "You are quite courageous to run to my hotel at night."

Chao Sheng glanced at him from the corner of his eye, and whispered, "I'm afraid you're in a bad mood."

It can be heard that he can't coax people at all, but he is still trying hard clumsily. Of course, Xun Zhou's mood is suddenly brightened, and he actively lowers his head and pecks Chao Sheng's lips.

"It's not a green apple today." Xun Zhou laughed and reached into Chao Sheng's coat pocket, "I'll paint it for you."

Chao Sheng pursed his lips and waited obediently.

"What is this?" Xun Zhou groped for a few seconds, took out the contents, held it up to the two of them for a look, and then made a meaningful voice, "Oh..."

Chao Sheng immediately opened his eyes wide, grabbed it and stuffed it back into his pocket, his heart beating wildly.

"This one belongs to my friend! It's useless for him to argue with his girlfriend, so..."

"So you said, 'Don't waste it, I'll use it for my boyfriend'?" Xun Zhou held back his smile, leaned over and stared at Chao Sheng's face, "Really."

"No! He, he threw it everywhere. Of course I picked it up and looked for the trash can...but I forgot it when I came out."

"Okay, okay." Xun Zhou raised his hand and stroked Chao Sheng's hair, as if to make him obedient, "But I have to tell you in advance, two are not enough for me."

Chao Sheng felt even more ashamed and angry when he heard him teasing himself like this.But before he opened his mouth to refute, Xun Zhou sealed his breath with a kiss.The soft lips of each other are tightly attached, gentle and long, and there is a faint aroma of strawberry ice cream.

"You really didn't bring it yourself?" Xun Zhou asked him in a low voice when his lips parted a little.

Chao Sheng was so kissed by him that his voice was weak: "No."

"You don't have any dirty thoughts about me, do you?" Xun Zhou rubbed the tip of his nose against his hot cheeks, "But I have thoughts about you."
