After dinner, the four of them walked out of the restaurant together. Ouyang Shuo excused himself to prepare for lessons and left early. Liu Chong said again, "Xiao Zi, I'm going home. Will you come with me?"

Yan Jing hoped that he would say "yes" to go back with Liu Chong, but Rong Zi shook his head and said, "No, I will visit my uncle and aunt another day, I have something to do tonight."

"Okay, goodbye then."

Liu Chong also left, leaving only two people, and the atmosphere was a little awkward for a while.

Sensing the gaze cast on him, Yan Jing said with a stiff face, "Aren't you busy? Why don't you go back?"

Rong Zi smiled and said, "It's okay."

Knowing that he was afraid that he would lose his wallet and not be able to go back, so he deliberately stayed with him, Yan Jing was inexplicably moved, and felt that it was very strange for him to be touched by such a little tenderness, so he walked forward with a sullen face. .

Rong Zi quickly followed his footsteps, and said enthusiastically: "Uncle Yan, you just returned to China, and you are not familiar with this place, do you want me to show you around?"

Yan Jing didn't answer.

Rong Zi continued: "In front is the most famous pedestrian street in the area, and there are many specialty stores. Or if you want to go to nearby attractions, I can also be your tour guide..."

"No." Yan Jing said lightly, "I'm a little tired and want to go home directly. Take me to the subway station, and I'll familiarize myself with the route by the way."

Rong Zi was silent for a while, then nodded and said, "Okay."

The two walked side by side to the nearby subway station. It was six o'clock in the evening, the rush hour for get off work, and the subway station was crowded with people, which was very spectacular.When Yan Jing left that year, there was no subway in this city, and he had no chance to go out for a stroll since he returned to China. Today was the first time he took the subway. As soon as he entered the subway station, he felt a headache when he saw the crowded scene.

He hates noise and crowds the most, especially in such crowded places, being rubbed and bumped by strangers, and having to endure all kinds of strange sweaty smells on his nose, is really annoying.Walking to the ticket office with Rong Zi, seeing the long queue, Yan Jing had the urge to turn around.

He has always been used to going his own way, if it was normal, he would definitely turn back without even thinking about it.But now, I have to worry about the opinion of Rong Zi as a "tour guide". I have already arrived at the subway station and said, "I don't want to queue up, let's go back and take a taxi." Rong Zi will laugh at herself for being self-willed?

never mind.You can't be too embarrassing in front of him.

"By the way, where do you get off?" Rong Zi turned around and asked.

Yan Jing lowered his head and thought for a moment, "It seems to be... Times Square."

"Okay, I'm going to line up to buy tickets, you stand here and wait a moment."

"Hmm..." Yan Jing's ears couldn't help but feel a little hot when he heard what he said.After living for so many years, it is really shameful to be led for a walk by a young man ten years younger than himself.But I lost my wallet, and I couldn't go back without Rong Zi, so I had to follow him.

Rong Zi waited in line for a long time, finally bought two tickets, returned to the original position, only to find that Yan Jing had disappeared.His eyes swept around in the crowd, but he still couldn't be seen.He took out his mobile phone and called him, but there was no one answering.

Where did he go?There are so many people here, will something happen?

Although he knew that Yan Jing had experienced many storms and waves, a mature man of such an age would not be abducted by traffickers, and if he was not in the same place, there must be some urgent business and temporarily walked away.However, intellectually, he was still involuntarily anxious.

Even if the feet are stepped on by high heels, or the arms are cut by the zipper of the purse, such small accidents that often happen in subway stations, if they happen to Yan Jing, Rong Zi can't help but feel distressed.

Under his own eyes, he couldn't afford the slightest injury.

Rong Zi held the subway ticket tightly in his hand, looking for Yan Jing's figure everywhere in the crowd, running around, sweating a lot.Just as I was thinking about asking the staff of the subway station to broadcast it, I suddenly looked back and saw a familiar figure in the corner of the entrance of the subway station——

Yan Jingzheng squatted down gently, stretching out his hands naturally, with a gentle smile on his face.There was a white kitten in front of him, looking at him timidly, Yan Jing stretched his hand forward, and it shrank back, as if it was afraid of strangers.

"Hey, don't be afraid. I won't hurt you." Yan Jing put his hand on its head, and touched it tentatively. Seeing that although it was shy, it would not bite, so he put the little one at ease. The guy was hugged.

"Good boy." Yan Jing gently patted its head while coaxing it.

Turning around, meeting Rong Zi's gaze, seeing the anxious look in the other's eyes, Yan Jing smiled slightly, and explained: "I just saw that this little guy seemed to be separated from his master, running around, afraid that there are too many people here. After stepping on it, I followed it." After a pause, "Are you looking for me in a hurry?"

Rong Zi was stunned.

It seemed that such a pleasant smile had not appeared on his face for a long time.Ever since I confessed to him, every time I saw myself, I would freeze my face, even if I smiled, it was an embarrassing fake smile.

But at this time, he smiled from the bottom of his heart.No pretense, no guard.This is the most real appearance of him...

Although he lowered his head and continued to tease the cat in his arms after laughing, Rong Zi's heartbeat still stalled due to the laugh just now.

He really looks good when he smiles, his thin lips are slightly raised, he looks very lazy, and has a bit of cynical arrogance.I remember the first time I saw him in the bar, I was deeply attracted by his smile.It's just that he rarely shows such a comfortable smile, only when facing the kitten...

Thinking of this, Rong Zi couldn't help but envy the cat in his arms.

Yan Jing was in a good mood to tease the kitten in his arms, when he suddenly felt a fiery gaze above his head.Looking up suspiciously, seeing Rong Zi staring at him intently, there is even a shocking obsession in his eyes...

Yan Jing's heart skipped a beat, he quickly stopped his smile, and said seriously: "Let's go find its owner, maybe it got lost nearby."

Rong Zi came back to his senses, and glanced at the cat in his arms, "Don't you want to take it home?"

"How can that be?" Yan Jing touched the kitten's head with a serious tone, "In the eyes of outsiders, maybe they are just pets, but pet owners treat them like relatives. Lost it , its owner must be very anxious." Then, he pinched the cat's paw again, as if shaking hands, "Is that right, little guy?"

The kitten gave a "meow" very face-saving, as if it really understood.

Yan Jing couldn't help smiling again, rubbed its head, walked to Rong Zi and said, "Let's wait and see here, maybe its owner is nearby."

Yan Jing seemed to like the cat very much, and kept teasing it with a smile. The kitten was afraid of him at first, but after being touched by him very comfortably, it closed its eyes in his arms.Rong Zi stood aside and watched this scene, a sudden warmth rose in her heart.He has only seen such a gentle face in photos...

The two waited at the entrance of the subway station for a while, and sure enough, a young girl in her early twenties hurried over here, saw the cat in Yan Jing's arms, her eyes lit up, "Did it! Oh my god, I finally found you! "The excited look almost brought tears to my eyes.

The kitten was also very excited to see its owner, and kept meowing in Yan Jing's arms.Yan Jing smiled slightly, let go of it, and it ran towards the girl, circled around its owner, then turned back and called "meow" at Yan Jing, as if thanking him.

The girl came over to thank the two of them, and because she was too excited, she was a little incoherent: "Thank you, really, thank you so much, I was shopping in the front just now, and when I turned around, I found that it was gone. I didn't expect it to come to the subway Station. I can't find it everywhere, I'm going crazy. It's important to me to tap it..."

Seeing that the girl was about to shed tears holding the cat, Yan Jing couldn't help smiling and said, "You're welcome, be careful when you go out." The girl was still thanking her non-stop, so Yan Jing had no choice but to interrupt her: "You're welcome, you'd better go home and feed it some food, it seems very hungry."

The girl was startled, and finally bowed deeply to the two of them and said, "Thank you." Then she hurried away with the kitten in her arms.

It wasn't until her back disappeared that Yan Jing held back his smile, turned around and said, "Okay, let's go."

Rong Zi walked to the subway station with him, walked a few steps, and couldn't help asking softly: "You love cats, don't you?"

Yan Jing was stunned for a moment, and suddenly felt uneasy that someone had discovered the secret in his heart... He smiled concealedly and said, "I just want to be a good person by the way. Cats are hard to take care of, so I don't bother to keep them." Not at all. Knowing that Rong Zi had been following her blog for a long time, she thought she was covering up well, and continued to explain, "I don't like keeping pets."

"Oh..." Rong Zi agreed, with a sincere look of "I believe in you", but she was secretly happy in her heart.

Although I'm a little jealous that the pets in Uncle Yan's arms can enjoy his tenderness and love, but if he really likes it...it's okay to give him one.

As long as he is happy.

***

The two returned to the subway station and finally squeezed onto the subway after queuing for 10 minutes.Yan Jing deliberately found a corner position, but unfortunately there are too many people on the subway, physical contact is inevitable.Rong Zi seemed to find that he was uncomfortable, so she walked up to him and held the railing beside him with her hands.In this way, it is natural to use the arms to separate a relatively independent space for him.

But after all, there were too many people, no matter how hard Rong Zi tried, the space was still very narrow, and the two bodies were close to touching each other. As soon as Yan Jing raised his head, he could feel the warm breath of the young man on his face.The pair of eyes smiling at him were so close that one could even see his shrunken shadow in them.

My heart couldn't help trembling, and I suddenly didn't dare to meet his gaze.

What happened today? I was always inexplicably moved by his small actions. After more than ten years of experience, those painful memories back then, my heart was already as cold as ice. Why did I treat Rong Zi so hard? calm down?

Some fragments in the memory flashed through my mind quickly again. Many years ago, the person who affectionately called himself A Jing would show a mouthful of neat teeth like Rong Zi when he smiled. Does it matter?The surname Rong is rare after all...

Yan Jing frowned, his thoughts suddenly became a little confused.He didn't come back to his senses until the subway arrived at the station and Rong Zi urged him to get off.

The two walked side by side on the sidewalk next to Times Square. This is the busiest business district in the area. At night, when it is lively, pedestrians flock incessantly. The buildings around the square are illuminated with bright lights of various colors. On Rong Zi's face, there was a trace of tranquility and softness unique to the night.

He obediently followed by his side. When Yan Jing was too lazy to talk, he didn't talk too much, and was always so careful and considerate.

Thinking of the time when he was paying just now, the waiter gave a price list of more than 400 yuan with a smile. Liu Chong was surprised and wanted to ask what was going on, but Rong Zi stopped him with his eyes.He calmly took out the money from his wallet and handed it to the waiter, still with a nonchalant smile on his face.

Although this amount of money is only a small amount for Yan Jing and Ouyang Shuo, Rong Zi is different. After all, he does not have a formal job, and he does not need a penny of living expenses from Liu Zhigang and his wife. It must be very difficult to earn tuition fees and support himself .Paying with that meager income, maybe half of the living expenses for this month will be spent because of this, and maybe I will have to save money and eat instant noodles in the future...

Thinking about it this way, I suddenly felt that Rong Zi was so sensible that it made people feel distressed.

Yan Jing hesitated for a moment, then whispered, "Rong Zi."

"Ok?"

"Today...thank you."

Hearing that he actually thanked him face to face, Rong Zi was overjoyed, and couldn't help but smile brightly, "You're welcome, you should."

"Well... I'll pay you back the money some other day." Yan Jing said in a low voice, "Don't be brave, you are a student after all, you don't have a fixed job, and you have to earn living expenses by yourself..."

Rong Zi interrupted him in a low voice: "Uncle Yan, you underestimate me too much. I'm not as poor as you think. Our studio earns enough money to pay for tuition and living expenses. Besides, how can I ask you back?" Money?" After a pause, he lowered his head again and said seriously: "I'm really happy to be able to help you. Just fulfill my little wish, okay?

Yan Jing was stunned suddenly, he didn't expect that Rong Zi's intentions for him were so simple and serious, even helping himself would make him so happy.Such pure love made Yan Jing's heart, which had been lonely for a long time, suddenly felt a rare warmth.

Looking at the young man beside him, in his early twenties, he has just faded away from his youthful youthfulness, his face is still full of youthful vigor, and his dark eyes are full of confidence and firmness... He is really different from himself. too much.

Regardless of age, experience, and circle of life, they are all on different levels.

You shouldn't be tempted by this person...

However, I, who have always been decisive, just couldn't bear to see him look disappointed...

Yan Jing found that his thoughts became more confused.

Rong Zi didn't notice his abnormality, and continued to whisper: "Uncle Yan, in my heart, you have always been a very independent person. You have worked hard abroad for many years, and you can handle everything by yourself, and you don't need others for anything. Worry, I really want to care about you a little more, but I don't know where to start."

Scratching her head in distress, Rong Zi couldn't hide the look of disappointment in her eyes, and said in a low voice, "I know, you have always regarded me as an immature junior, so... even if I confess to you, you I don't care too much. Right."

Yan Jing fell silent.In fact, Rong Zi is very smart and knows what she thinks of him, but she doesn't say anything.At this time, he suddenly told the truth, Yan Jing felt a little unbearable.

"I will try my best to narrow the gap between us, can you...try to accept me?" Rong Zi turned to look at him.

Yan Jing still didn't respond.

Rong Zi's expression darkened, she lowered her head, and said softly, "I knew you would refuse again...I'm sorry, I shouldn't have forced you."

"It's very difficult for you to accept me, right..." Rong Zi held back the sadness in her heart and forced a smile, "What you admire is the kind of person who has a successful career and has a lot of common language with you, right?"

"I can't live up to your requirements at all... can I?"

"Chasing you all day, looks childish and annoying, right?"

"So... Although you don't scold me out of face, you actually hate seeing me." The smile on the corner of Rong Zi's mouth is a bit bitter, "Every time you see me, your face is not good-looking, in fact, I know it all But, if I don't approach you with the cheek, there will be no chance between us."

"Maybe it's ridiculous in your eyes, but I really like you..."

Seeing his dejected appearance, with his hairy head hanging in front of her like a frost-beaten eggplant, Yan Jing couldn't help feeling soft, and hurriedly comforted him: "You are actually very good, don't belittle yourself so much, I didn't treat you because of your age. I underestimated you since I was young." She stretched out her hand to touch his head, but in the middle of the journey, she was surprised that she was soft-hearted towards him again, so she quickly retracted stiffly.

Rong Zi lowered his head, didn't see Yan Jing's abnormal expression, and murmured in a low voice: "Then can you try to accept me?"

Alas, why did he go back to this question again...

"Give me a chance?" Rong Zi looked up at him, her gentle tone even pleaded, "Just this once. Let's try together, if it's really inappropriate, we will separate again. I promise I won't pester you again. Don't even give me a chance to try, just refuse me, okay?"

"I..." Yan Jing suddenly realized that he had no reason to refuse such an honest confession.After thinking for a long time, he finally said, "Let me think about it."

Rong Zi was startled suddenly.He had long been prepared to be rejected by Yan Jing again, and he confessed cheekily that he just wanted to see if pretending to be pitiful like that kitten would work. He never expected that the answer he got was "Think about it."

Yan Jing actually really softened his heart, and actually agreed to formally consider this relationship, instead of blindly avoiding and rejecting...

Suddenly there was a feeling of being hit by a 500 million lottery ticket.

As long as he is happy.
