looking back inadvertently

The rain stopped.

Because of this sudden precipitation, the weather suddenly became much cooler.Since the evening, the air conditioner has not been turned on at home.

There was a small gap in the window, letting in the cool breeze, and the smell of soil that could only be smelled after the rain.Liang He remembered seeing it somewhere, and it was actually the smell of actinomycetes.

The double bed is only 1.5 meters wide. Fortunately, neither of them is fat, and they won't feel too stuffy when they are side by side.After about eight or nine years old, Liang He never had the experience of sleeping in the same bed with another person.Really lying down, it's not uncomfortable, but this feeling is a bit strange, the body is stiff, unable to relax.

Shen Zhe might be the same, he didn't make any slight movements, but he had already taken off his glasses, and was lying down properly, looking like he was going to sleep.

It was too tiring to maintain the same posture. After a few minutes, Liang He still turned to face Shen Zhe, and he could vaguely see that the other party's eyes were closed.

"Liang He," but he suddenly said, "I haven't slept in the same bed as a classmate before."

Are you not used to it...

Liang He didn't intend to change his mind, so he said perfunctorily, "I haven't had any since elementary school."

"Actually, I don't have any memory of sleeping with others," Shen Zhe added, "My mother said that I slept by myself when I was two years old, and I kept it up since then. As for before I was two years old... I can't remember."

Listening to his tone, it's not a complaint, it's more like a normal chatter.Liang He had no doubts about his words.

"I think so, you don't depend on others very much." It is estimated that when he was a child, other children would be scared to cry, and he could stand beside him calmly and comfort others.

"It seems that my parents are very busy, and I'm often at home alone." He turned his head and cast a glance at Liang He in the dark. "Your father is away on a business trip. What about your mother? Why haven't you seen me?"

Shen Zhe didn't know about his family's situation. He usually followed his grandmother, but now he went back to his father's house and didn't see his mother. It was a bit strange.In the past, he would not ask such personal details, but now he is a friend who talks about everything, and he always feels that he doesn't understand anything and seems too indifferent.

"They divorced a long time ago," Liang He told him in an extremely flat tone, "I was just in elementary school."

"you……"

Shen Zhe was rarely speechless, and regretted mentioning this.Liang He continued as if nothing had happened: "I grew up with my grandparents. To be honest, they are the people who are more important to me."

"Hmm." Although the experience is different, it is not incomprehensible.

"It's weird, isn't it? My dad and I get along like strangers. We don't know how to communicate with each other, so... I feel more comfortable when he's not around," Liang He laughed self-deprecatingly, "Look, I With you—I never realized that I can lie down and sleep and chat together, but my dad can't imagine it at all."

"We are the same age," Shen Zhe said, "Of course it's easier to get along."

"Really... don't be angry if I tell you something."

"what?"

"I thought before...you don't look like someone my age at all, let alone one year younger."

"What does that look like?" Shen Zhe was not angry, and joked, "You want to call me uncle?"

Liang He punched him with his elbow sullenly: "Don't take advantage of me."

"What's the matter, don't you think I'm too serious?"

"It's not all right," Liang He lost in memory, "Stand on the podium, and when collecting homework, he is quite good at showing off."

"What else?" Shen Zhe smiled, "What about other times?"

"Other times it's fine," he said, "but if you're less proactive, I might not be very good at dealing with people like you."

"What did I take the initiative for?" Shen Zhe turned around to face him, resting his head on his elbow, "It sounds like I'm chasing you."

"Yeah, is chasing after me to make friends count?"

Shen Zhe's laughter became a series, and it was very clear in the silence: "You don't want to?"

"Yes." It was obviously a normal question and answer, but there was a sense of ceremony inexplicably.After Liang He finished speaking, he pulled up the quilt vigorously, half covering his face.

The light was still faint, but after keeping his eyes open for a long time in the dark, Liang He was completely used to it, and could easily observe the surrounding details, including Shen Zhe's appearance without glasses.

"How bright are your eyes?" He was still half-buried in the quilt, he said without words.

"More than 300 degrees."

"That's not too deep, right?" Liang He asked curiously, "Can't you see without glasses?"

"Actually, it doesn't matter if you don't wear it normally, but I'm used to it, and I only take it off when I sleep."

Shen Zhe blinked.His eyes looked brighter when he took off his glasses.Liang He didn't know how he came to such a conclusion, after all, it was still too difficult to distinguish brightness in the dark.

Shen Zhe turned over twice.

"not comfortable?"

"A little hot."

"Then turn on the air conditioner?" Liang He reached for the remote control on the bedside table.

"It's not that problem," Shen Zhe stopped, and finally whispered, "I'm not used to wearing pants to sleep..."

The trousers that Liang He borrowed from him are big casual shorts that can be worn outside, while Shen Zhe usually only wears underwear to sleep.

"Then—" Liang He didn't expect him to have such a problem, and asked hesitantly, "Then why don't you wear pants?"

"Don't you still have underwear? It's not naked..." As he said this, he had already taken off his outer pants under the quilt.

"Are you sleeping like this?" Liang He sensed the rustling of the quilt next to him.

"Can't you?" Shen Zhe carefully put his trousers on the bedside table beside him, "I didn't let you see it."

never mind.Twist like a big girl.The two of them even covered the quilt separately, so there was nothing to care about.

However, Shen Zhe, who had taken off a pair of pants, still didn't fall asleep quickly, but turned into a flat lying position.And every time Liang He looked over, he could see his wide-open eyes.

"Shen Zhe," Liang He asked again, "Are you still worried?"

Shen Zhe said softly, "Fortunately...just not too sleepy."

Shen Sihong is a person who is good at responding to crises. After calming down for a while, the worries in his heart also faded away, or turned into less obvious forms of expression.

Liang He started to feel sleepy, and as soon as the other party finished speaking, he yawned uncontrollably.

"Go to sleep."

In summer, the air-conditioning quilt was very thin, and it was just right to cover his body. Liang He slept comfortably that night. He only felt hot when the sky was bright, and his body was still a little heavy.

He opened his eyes, waved his hands, and understood where the disturbing weight came from—Shen Zhe had already lifted the quilt, and leaned over to cling to him, with one arm resting on his stomach.And one leg is pressed further down.

The memory of sleeping in the same bed with the other party yesterday is still there, and it was Liang He himself who wanted to keep it.He took a deep breath and moved Shen Zhe's arm away first.The place where the leg was pressed was very unfortunate, the firepower was high just after waking up, Liang He felt something was wrong.

Fortunately, Shen Zhe turned over at this time and lay flat on the other side. He might feel cold. He groped for the quilt with his hands, but he only grabbed one corner and stopped moving. He took off his big shorts the night before. The bare legs are spread out straight, and there is only a pair of underwear underneath.

Liang He tried his best not to look at this body that was not fundamentally different from his own, and helped him cover the quilt again; while the dryness in the recovery part of his body did not subside.This kind of thing was normal in the morning, but because of being with Shen Zhe, she felt a little more shy, but it didn't last long.

He went to take a shower, and then returned to the bedroom, Shen Zhe was still in that sleeping posture.

The phone in the living room rang at this moment, and the sleeping person seemed to sense something, and sat up from the bed.

"I'll pick it up." Liang He showed him a soothing expression, "You put on your pants first."

The call was from Shen Zhe's mother, Shen Zhe used this number to contact the other party yesterday, and Bai Yanru only called Liang He.

He didn't know if she had news of Father Shen, and there was nothing unusual in his tone.

"Please ask Shen Zhe to answer the phone."

Shen Zhe quickly adjusted his clothes, and took the microphone from Liang He.

"Hmm...really? Ah...that's good...then when do you get off work?" Shen Zhe's tone suddenly became brisk.

Liang He walked to the inner side of the balcony and opened the curtains. The excessive sunlight filled the wide field of vision, almost blinding him.Open the sliding door, the water stains on the balcony floor have not yet dried.In addition, yesterday's rain seemed to have retreated silently.

"Liang He!"

When Liang He turned back, Shen Zhe had just put down the phone and said to him excitedly: "My dad has been contacted! He will be back tomorrow afternoon."

"I'll just say, it's going to be okay—"

Before he could finish a sentence, Shen Zhe suddenly rushed forward.After the tension was completely relaxed, he urgently needed to vent, so he put his arms around Liang He's neck from the front and hugged him.

Liang He's body tensed suddenly, and he was even more at a loss than when he was lying together last night.

However, in just two or three seconds, the other party withdrew from his arms.He didn't even have time to open his arms and embrace the man who rushed up desperately.

There was no time to wait for the strange emotions to ferment.
