detour

The snow in winter fell silently, and by the time it was noticed, the whole city had already been covered with a thick white blanket.Layers of heavy clouds pile up above the city, against the white city below and the gray-black tranquil sea in the distance, the island city in the early morning is like an ink painting smudged with ink.

Large flakes of snowflakes fell from mid-air, lightly touched the glass wall outside the window, and then continued to float downward, disappearing soundlessly into the hazy mist of the snowy sky.This is the second snowfall since the beginning of winter, and it is also the biggest snowfall in the past two years.The air in the island city is warm and humid, even if it snows in winter, most of it will melt on the ground.Zhuang Shaodong hadn't seen such a spectacular snow scene for a long time.

Zhuang Shaodong opened the glass window with a narrow gap, and snowflakes fell on his face in the cool air. There was a moist and fresh feeling, which would make people unconsciously think of spring.

Winter has come, how far is his spring?

There was a rustling sound from behind, and when Zhuang Shaodong turned around to look, Xu You was still asleep, but the quilt had been kicked aside, revealing a section of slender thigh.He is used to not wearing too many things when he sleeps, and he always has a disgusted expression on the pajamas and pants that Zhuang Shaodong prepared for him.Zhuang Shaodong even suspected that if he was not present, he might prefer to sleep naked.

Zhuang Shaodong tiptoed over to cover him with the quilt.The light in the bedroom was dim, and Xu You's side face was facing the side against the wall. From Zhuang Shaodong's perspective, he could only vaguely see his slightly swollen eyes.

To be honest, until now Zhuang Shaodong didn't understand why Xu You was crying, and he kept crying like that, until he fell into a drowsy sleep, and kept twitching like a child.He just told him about Zhuang Shijie's life experience, so that he would know that Zhuang Shijie didn't take him seriously at the beginning, why was he so sad?Sure enough, do you still miss that person?

This realization made Zhuang Shaodong a little depressed.What I said at the beginning was to pull out the thorn between the two people. Now it seems that the thorn was inserted, but it left a huge scar, but the gain outweighed the loss.

Ugh.

Zhuang Shaodong looked worriedly at Xu You who was sleeping unconsciously, wondering what kind of reaction he would have when he woke up.Anyway, in front of Xu You, I stood in a very unfavorable position from the beginning.What Zhuang Shijie can do with a glance, he may have to climb a mountain.And the effort to climb this mountain may not necessarily be seen by him.

Ugh.

But what can be done, Zhuang Shaodong sighed, if he couldn't let go, he couldn't let go.

He found that guarding Xu You would only make him more uneasy, so he decided to go to the kitchen to see if the beef was stewed.This person has a very tricky mouth, if he can serve his stomach comfortably, maybe his mood will also improve.

Just as Zhuang Shaodong was about to get up, he saw the person lying on the bed turned over again, and opened his eyes in a daze.

Zhuang Shaodong's heart choked slightly.He always knew that Xu You's eyes were beautiful, black and white, clean as if washed with water.And when he looks at people, he always unconsciously wears a casual, half-smile expression, which makes the water in his eyes moist and attractive.Even at this moment, his eyes were still bloodshot because of the crying the night before, but being watched so intently by him, Zhuang Shaodong still couldn't help feeling a pain in his heart.This indistinguishable, slightly dazed look made him wonder if Xu You was looking at him, or was he looking at someone else through him?

He has no blood relationship with Zhuang Shijie, so there is naturally no similarity in appearance.But the family has been together for a long time, and there will always be two or three points of similarity in expression and temperament.What's more, the news that made him lose control yesterday was told to him by himself...

The more Zhuang Shaodong thought about it, the more uneasy he became.He was about to say something to break the awkward and weird atmosphere, when Xu You's hand slid up his arm and gently hooked his neck.

Zhuang Shaodong was slightly startled, feeling more and more uneasy, "Xu You..."

Xu You's other hand also climbed up, hooked his neck and pulled towards him.

Zhuang Shaodong couldn't help himself, bent down in the direction of his force, and lightly touched his lips.Looking at Xu You's eyes from such a close distance made him feel almost dazzled, as if the streamer in his eyes was constantly flickering and changing, transforming into bright stars all over the sky.

Beautiful... It makes my heart ache a little.Zhuang Shaodong even felt that Xu You at this moment was too fragile to be touched.

He carefully held Xu You's face with his palm, Xu You blinked, and his expression gradually became more sober.However, the hand hooked around Zhuang Shaodong's neck did not let go, but pulled towards him with a bit of stubborn feeling, then slightly raised his head and licked Zhuang Shaodong's lips.

It was a very gentle gesture, not like flirting, but acting like a baby.

Zhuang Shaodong felt his heart was about to melt.He lowered his head and gently pressed Xu You's forehead, and lay down beside him.His arm was still on Xu You's shoulder, but he didn't dare to exert any force, for fear that a reckless movement of his would destroy the gentle and charming atmosphere of this moment.

Xu You leaned over without saying a word, and rested his head on Zhuang Shaodong's chest.

Zhuang Shaodong didn't move, but the feeling in his heart became more complicated than ever.There has been closer physical contact between them, but it is the first time that they have such a warm snuggle like this moment - they just snuggle together quietly, but it seems that they have been intimate to the bone.There is a warm water-like feeling lingering in my heart, slightly warm, with intoxicating magic power.

Zhuang Shaodong followed Xu You's back one after another. He didn't know why he made such a move, maybe he wanted to give him some comfort instinctively.Or he just wanted to use such a seemingly unintentional action to calm down the frizzy feeling in his heart as soon as possible.

From last night to now, after he told the secret about Zhuang Shijie's life experience, the development of the situation has completely rushed in a direction he hadn't expected.He was frightened by Xu You's tears, and was at a loss all night, but he couldn't figure out why Xu You was crying?After crying...why did you become like this now?

Xu You didn't seem to be very angry with him. Of course, he had nothing to do with him, but this matter had nothing to do with his mother. It's normal for Xu You to turn his hatred away.The question is, why on earth is he crying?What could make someone like Xu You break down and cry?

It was the first time in Zhuang Shaodong's life that he envied ants. You can see that they look gray and inconspicuous, but they can't help them live a happy life. You don't have to guess what's on your mind, just lean over and touch the little tentacles on top of your head. Xu You's... Uh, just touch another ant's tiny tentacles, and the other ant will know what's on their mind.It is convenient and environmentally friendly, and the most important thing is that there will be no misunderstandings due to guesswork.

Zhuang Shaodong sighed again.

Xu You rubbed against his arms and whispered, "Shaodong?"

Zhuang Shaodong immediately felt a small electric current rushing up the tailbone, half of his body went numb.If I remember correctly, this is the first time Xu You called his name so intimately, right?At first, he called him "Mr. Zhuang" and "Master Zhuang" in a strange way, and later he called him "Shaodong Zhuang" with a blank face...

"Huh?" Zhuang Shaodong asked him a little uneasy, "What's wrong?"

Xu You closed her eyes, and breathed out a little tiredly, "Shaodong, I will treat you well."

Zhuang Shaodong's heart began to tremble involuntarily.Did he hear correctly?

Xu You seemed to have noticed his uneasiness, closed his eyes and pursed his lips and smiled, "I said I will treat you well, why don't you seem very happy to hear that?"

"No," Zhuang Shaodong quickly explained, "I'm not unhappy. I'm..."

Xu You wrapped his arms around his waist, and successfully blocked all the words behind him.He was not sure if he should explain something to Zhuang Shaodong, Zhuang Shaodong seemed to dislike hearing the name Zhuang Shijie very much.And the intention of him telling the secret last night was not to urge Xu You to reflect on himself, but to remind him that in Zhuang Shijie's mind, he was not the most important existence.

After a moment of silence, Zhuang Shaodong still asked the question that had troubled him for a long time, "Why are you crying? You..."

Xu You shook his head, "It's not what you think."

"You know what I think?" Zhuang Shaodong was surprised.Was it that obvious that he was jealous?

"You have a bad relationship with Zhuang Shijie?" This was the question Xu You had been wondering for a long time.He always felt that Zhuang Shaodong's feelings for Zhuang Shijie were not just a contradiction derived from the struggle for power and profit.And judging from Zhuang Shaodong's character, he shouldn't mind that Zhuang Shijie took over the position of the owner of the dealer.

"Actually, it's nothing." Zhuang Shaodong hesitated, "The situation in my family... After I became an adult, only Zhuang Shijie was my competitor. My mother's intentions have always been very straightforward, and it is impossible for him not to know. Therefore, He didn't have a good impression of me either."

This is true.Xu You still remembered that when they were together, Zhuang Shijie always had a disapproving expression every time he talked about this nephew.

"I've known about Zhuang Shiwen and his little wife since I was very young," Zhuang Shaodong said, his face darkening slightly, "so I'm very annoyed by this kind of thing. Zhuang Shijie was very promiscuous at that time, of course I can't understand him."

Xu You sneered, "Are you still different?"

"I'm different." Zhuang Shaodong looked at him seriously, "I was serious when I was with Su Chengze. Although I was a little sorry for you about Longsheng, I was his lover at that time, so I naturally had confidence in him .Of course I will support what he wants to do. Well, although I didn't intend to make Longsheng a good deal and use it as a bargaining chip for my mother..."

Xu You pursed his lips and smiled.Recalling that Zhuang Shaodong said that he followed Su Chengze's back for three streets, he didn't plan to pursue this matter for the time being.

"It's actually not that complicated," Xu You interrupted him, and said lazily, "I just suddenly thought that I was too selfish at that time, I only knew how to ask, and forgot to care about the other party. You don't know that feeling..." Xu You paused for a moment, and said with some difficulty: "It's just... suddenly I don't feel so innocent."

Zhuang Shaodong fell silent.Now, it seems that his guess is not too far-fetched, Xu You is still thinking about Zhuang Shijie.

"I regret it." Xu You raised his head and looked at him seriously with clear eyes, "So I was thinking, while you are still in front of me, I will treat you better."

Zhuang Shaodong's heart suddenly felt hot.

Xu You closed his eyes again.He was still tired from last night's emotional breakdown.He changed into a more comfortable position in Zhuang Shaodong's arms, and murmured: "Sleep with me for a while."

"Okay." Zhuang Shaodong took Xu You into his arms, and after a few minutes Xu You laughed softly, "Let you sleep with me for a while, why are you so stiff?"

"Can't sleep." Zhuang Shaodong replied honestly: "Probably... well, I was moved by you. I was thinking about other things."

Xu You wanted to laugh, "What are you thinking about?"

Zhuang Shaodong kissed the top of his hair lightly, "I have to go back to see my mother. Xu You, you just need to lie comfortably behind my back. Leave the rest to me."

For some reason, Xu You felt a little sad when he said it, "This should be a matter for two people."

"I know." Zhuang Shaodong folded his arms, "but before she makes a real move, I want her to know what I think. Xu You, after what happened to your mother, I think there is no parent in the world who would not want My own child is not happy. Even if she is Zhuang Liyunxin with iron arms and bronze fists, it is the same."
