Sui Yuesheng walked into the restaurant, and the first time he saw Tao Fengche, he noticed that Tao Fengche had a strange expression on his face.

The young man looked at the phone with a calm face, his eyes were darker than usual, and he swiped the phone screen too hard, his lips were pursed together in a serious way, and the corners of his mouth curved slightly downward, looking A little awkward.

It's as if you're having a secret rivalry with someone, or you're having a temper tantrum with someone.

Sui Yuesheng is well aware of the reason for Tao Fengche's attitude - I forcibly locked him up at home this weekend, and specially sent bodyguards to protect him when going to and from school. As far as the young alpha of the space is concerned, this is already a disguised form of imprisonment.

But now there are dangers everywhere, if you don't do this, Sui Yuesheng can't think of any other way for a while.

The moment he made the decision, he had already anticipated Tao Fengche's displeasure, and on the way home from get off work today, he had spent a long time thinking about how to deal with it.

When Tao Fengche was young, he basically didn't lose his temper with him. When he first returned to China this year, Tao Fengche had a long period of awkward moments. several times.

But after a long time, Tao Fengche himself regained his strength, and cautiously leaned over to show his favor, and he stroked his hair a few more times, even if something really happened, it would be turned into a trivial matter.So Sui Yuesheng didn't take this matter to heart at all, thinking that it would be fine to coax Tao Fengche patiently after returning home, but what he never expected was that Tao Fengche would actually Like a ignited firecracker, his mouth suddenly exploded, and he began to "press questions" aggressively.

It's a pity that he only looks fierce, but in fact he can't hide the worry in his words, and the words "serious and gentle" are written all over his body.

...It's like a marshmallow that has been scorched over charcoal fire. The outer shell is hard, but as long as you take a bite, you will find that the inside is full of sweet and soft sandwiches.

Apha, who has entered the rebellious period of youth, is always reluctant to speak properly. Sui Yuesheng originally thought that after these few months, he had already gotten used to his way of speaking, but after being "surprised" by Tao Fengche for a while, he finally I found that my morals and deeds were far from enough.

Now he really wants to go forward, rub his hair, and pinch his face.

It's only been two days since we've seen each other, why did Xiao Che suddenly become arrogant?

Sui Yuesheng slandered inwardly, the smile in his eyes deepened, but in the end he still didn't put his thoughts into action, but made a teasing sentence.

Originally, he just wanted to divert Tao Fengche's attention, but to his surprise, Tao Fengche's reaction would be so amusing.

——He was in complete disarray, suddenly raised his head, his face was as red as a ripe persimmon.

The evil taste in Sui Yuesheng's heart was greatly satisfied, the arc of the corner of his mouth became wider and wider, and he almost couldn't help laughing out loud.

At the same time, Tao Fengche's heart felt as if he had experienced a hurricane.As soon as it swept over, it swept away all the way, leaving only a mess on the ground, and him dumbfounded.

The Chinese language is profound and profound, and Sui Yuesheng spoke this sentence lightly and quickly, and Tao Fengche couldn't figure out his point at all—is it "Xiao Che"'s hot milk, or "milk"?

Alpha, a teenager who is just in love, is very persistent in wanting to get a positive response from his sweetheart——Is it me or my hot milk that makes you never forget and make you sleep well all night?

As Tao Fengche thought about it, his face blushed involuntarily, and an eraser appeared in his mind, erasing all the rest of his thoughts, leaving only this one written in bold font, which made him Questions he fancied.

... No, you can't just ask it like that, it's too direct and stupid,

Tao Fengche repeatedly warned himself, trying hard to swallow this sentence, but another sentence could not be restrained blurted out: "How do you know?!"

It’s over.

You might as well ask the previous question, which is even more stupid now.

Tao Fengche wailed in his heart, unwilling to face this stupid self, almost wanted to cover his face with his hands.

But this is also good, at least so far, he has maintained the high school student who keeps being stupid in front of Sui Yuesheng, so that Sui Yuesheng will never notice his guesses, and Carefully check in secret.

Tao Fengche tried his best to convince himself, and after getting through the embarrassment, the branches and leaves of curiosity quietly emerged—he was actually really curious about how Sui Yuesheng found out the truth about Milk.

Could it be that Xu Song leaked the news?Tao Fengche couldn't figure it out.

Sui Yuesheng smiled without saying a word, watching Tao Fengche silently, until the latter felt a little restless, he finally opened his mouth: "I knew it from the first day."

Tao Fengche: "?!"

Sui Yuesheng didn't answer directly, but threw out another question. Tao Fengche was so curious, but facing his questioning, Sui Yuesheng just turned his head on the ground and motioned for Xu Song to call the kitchen to serve. Then he spit out two words unhurriedly.

"secret."

In fact, Sui Yuesheng didn't deliberately hide Tao Fengche's knowledge, or purposely teased him, it was really out of helplessness - he couldn't tell Tao Fengche directly that it was because you put the wrong candy, right?

How much it hurt Xiao Che's heart.

Sui Yuesheng pursed his lips, trying to restrain his smile.

Tao Fengche frowned, and stared stubbornly at Sui Yuesheng, as if he had encountered some life problem that needed to be solved urgently, as if he vowed to break the casserole and ask the end.

Seeing him like this, Sui Yuesheng finally felt relieved - as it turned out, he had found a good topic, and Xiao Che looked much more lively now than when he just entered the door.

He smiled slightly, and suddenly changed the subject: "You're not angry with me, are you?"

Tao Fengche was taken aback for a moment, and many indescribably complicated emotions receded from the beach like the tide, and his reason and sense of crisis came back online. He asked back calmly, trying to get away with it by pretending to be stupid: "What? ?”

Sui Yuesheng didn't give him a chance to practice Tai Chi, and directly pointed out: "It's about sending more bodyguards."

Before Tao Fengche could reply, he took the initiative to explain: "The current situation is turbulent, and I have no other choice but this."

It is rare for Sui Yuesheng to show weakness, but Tao Fengche is unwilling to take the bait easily.

... Is Sui Yuesheng afraid that something will happen to him, or is he afraid that he will discover something that should not be discovered, so he has to choose to monitor him closely so that he can rest easy?

He straightened his back slightly, with a very obedient attitude: "I know."

Sui Yuesheng didn't expect Tao Fengche to be so talkative today, he looked over with some surprise, Tao Fengche looked at him calmly, his eyes were like water.

Sui Yuesheng is the one who opens his eyes first.

He has always adhered to the principle of talking less and doing more, and he rarely explains the reasons for his actions to others. The fact that he confessed his mental journey to Tao Fengche made him very uncomfortable, so he reflexively started another topic.

"This afternoon, I asked someone to go to the supermarket to buy you a bucket of ice cream. It is a brand from country C, and it has been sent back and put in the refrigerator. If you want to eat it, you can ask the servant to go after eating later. take."

Tao Fengche froze in place.

The long-awaited memories that were locked away were awakened again because of the keyword "ice cream".

——When he was in primary school, Tao Zhixing always felt that snacks were not good for his health, so he never let him eat more, and told Xu Song to buy less of these things, but the more he refused to eat, the more greedy Tao Fengche became.

That winter, before the Spring Festival, Xu Song took him down the mountain with Yuesheng to the city center to buy New Year's goods.In fact, the things that should be bought have already been bought, Xu Song just found a random reason to take the two children out for a stroll.

Accompanied by plainclothes bodyguards, they ate and strolled. When they reached the ice cream shop, Tao Fengche suddenly stopped in his tracks, turned his head abruptly, and stared at Xu Song with round eyes.

The old butler persisted for three seconds, but in the end he couldn't resist Tao Fengche's gaze, and bought a cone of ice cream for him and Yuesheng alone.

Sui Yuesheng's health was not very good at that time, and he always ate iced food very slowly. In contrast, Tao Fengche was like a storm, and he finished his portion in less than 5 minutes. Then he cast his coveted eyes on Sui Yuesheng.

Since my brother will share other snacks with me, so will ice cream, right?The small calculations in Tao Fengche's mind were crackling.

Sui Yuesheng looked at the ice cream in his hand, and then at the little greedy cat who was staring at him eagerly.

"Want to eat?"

Tao Fengche nodded frantically.

Sui Yuesheng was silent for a moment, and finished the ice cream in his hand in two or three bites, not even leaving the cone for Tao Fengche.

The little crying bag whose hopes were shattered quickly filled with tears, but still remembered that he couldn't cry in public, so he sniffed his nose violently, rubbed his eyes with his sleeve firmly, and tried to press back the tears.

Sui Yuesheng was terrified by the ice cream, watched Tao Fengche cry, and exchanged glances with Xu Song and the bodyguard beside him, everyone could not help but smile.

It's a pity that the endurance of minors is always weaker than that of adults.

The 17-year-old Sui Yuesheng endured and endured, and finally failed, laughing uncontrollably.

"Brother is bad!!"

Tao Fengche was filled with righteous indignation, with trembling notes at the end, trying to frighten Sui Yuesheng, but it only made the latter even more overjoyed.

The little Tao Fengche made up his mind to break up with Yuesheng for a day.

But when Xu Song was about to leave the mall, when Xu Song went to pay at the cashier, Sui Yuesheng winked at the bodyguards, and the group sneaked back to the ice cream shop to buy a new mini ice cream cone for Tao Fengche— — An adult can finish it in two bites, but for eight-year-old Tao Fengche, it is already too big.

The young man with a delicate face pretended to be nasty: "Hurry up and eat!"

The tears in the corners of Tao Fengche's eyes hadn't dried yet, his eyes widened, his mouth opened slightly, and he couldn't believe what he saw.

"If you don't eat it, I'll eat it?" Sui Yuesheng made a gesture to withdraw his hand, but Tao Fengche hurriedly stopped him.

"Eat!" He sniffed his nose, looked at the ice cream, then looked at Sui Yuesheng, who was always in love with each other, "Brother half and half me."

"..." Sui Yuesheng curled his lips, stretched out his hand and tapped his forehead, and said with disgust, "Whoever wants to share half with you, eat quickly before Uncle Xu comes back."

Tao Fengche didn't care what he said, anyway, his brother had always had such an awkward personality, so he wouldn't be frightened anymore!

The little crying bag is holding the ice cream, eating to its heart's content.

···

Rewinding the time to ten years later, Tao Fengche withdrew from his memory and looked at Sui Yuesheng with a complicated expression. There were thousands of words in his heart, but for a moment he didn't know where to start.

He wanted to say that after entering middle school, Tao Zhixing no longer stopped him from eating snacks. The storage room was always full of food, and the refrigerator was always stocked with different flavors of family-sized ice cream. He was very greedy at first. After eating for half a month, after the addiction, I got tired of eating.

What's more, he has money himself, if he wants to eat ice cream, he can buy it by himself, Sui Yuesheng simply can't afford to go to war like this.

But Tao Fengche couldn't deny that he was indeed moved by Sui Yuesheng's actions.

He didn't expect that Sui Yuesheng would remember these things. He always thought that only he could remember these old events as treasures-an eight-year-old child will never forget his older playmates, but if it's the other way around , the probability is very low.

...Maybe he really has a chance to catch up with Sui Yuesheng?

At the same time that this thought popped up, Tao Fengche suddenly felt a sudden sense of grievance—after a ten-year separation, he and Yuesheng had changed too much in places that the other party didn't know, and they really had been apart for too long. .

If the two grew up together, would his relationship with Yuesheng be more natural?

But if this assumption comes true, Sui Yuesheng probably won't fall in love with him in this life.

Tao Fengche was inexplicably thankful, but at the same time, rationally but vigorously sounded the alarm in his mind, trying to drag him out of the vortex of his love brain.

——It’s been so long, why did Sui Yuesheng suddenly mention ice cream?

Is he trying to make an excuse to change the subject, or is he going to start playing the emotional card?

Cold sweat slowly seeped out from the pores on his back.

Many thoughts went through Tao Fengche's mind, but in reality, less than three seconds passed.And when he looked at Sui Yuesheng nonchalantly, the latter had already picked up his chopsticks and was about to start eating.

"Okay, I'll eat after I finish my homework."

After Tao Fengche said this, he didn't speak again. He lowered his eyes and stared intently at the food on the table, as if he was very interested, but his hands covered by the tablecloth were clenched into fists, with nails left A few crescent-like notches were made.

He tried his best to restrain his urge to question Sui Yuesheng, and also tried his best to restrain his desire to get up and hug him.
