That night, the teacher had to work overtime again, but fortunately, he had lunch today, but it was not too difficult to skip dinner.The people in the company were about to leave. Nate originally wanted to wait for him to go home together, but the atmosphere between the two of them was not good in the morning. God Zilie hadn't figured out how to deal with it, so he told him to go back first.

"Didn't you promise me that I would eat well?"

God Zilie was startled by the sudden voice, "Why are you here?"

Cheng Chong carried two bags of food, walked to him and sat down, "You don't eat well, so I'll bring you food."

"I ate at noon, but I haven't had time to eat at night, so I'll eat it after I'm done here."

Cheng Chong took away all the documents in front of him, put the food in front of him, "Eat."

Jiao Zilie was a little dumbfounded, took the chopsticks and ate honestly.

"How do you know I haven't had dinner yet?"

"I have eyeliner, so don't try to fool me."

The godson didn't expect that what he casually agreed to yesterday would make him so serious. "You should have said it earlier!"

"I told you earlier, how could you, a fox, show your tail? It's not too late to know now, let's see if you can eat well in the future."

Jiao Zilie looked at the childish Cheng Chong at this time, and felt that this person's temperament was too diverse, and he wondered if he was schizophrenic.

"have you eaten?"

"Eat it, I'm not like you, so I won't treat myself so badly."

The godson finished eating hastily and was ready to continue working, otherwise tomorrow's workload will be even more. "I've finished eating now, you can rest assured, go back and rest. You should be tired after working all day."

"I don't feel tired just looking at you."

"What are you talking about?" Jiao Zilie was a little embarrassed. Cheng Chong's constant talk made him a little overwhelmed, "I have to go to work tomorrow, so don't waste your time here. I don't know when it will be finished."

"You don't have to worry about me, just work with peace of mind, I won't make any noise."

The godson couldn't hold him back, so he could only sigh and continue working.

In fact, Cheng Chong had a hard day.I got up early in the morning to buy breakfast for my godfather, and the batteries launched by the company are now starting to look a little bit. I talked about a few orders today.As soon as I finished my work at night, I received a call saying that Jiaozi Lie was working overtime, so he was so busy that he didn't even eat dinner.He hurried over to buy dinner, fearing that it would be too late and starve God Zilie, so he ate a piece of bread in the car.

Jiao Zilie looked at Cheng Chong from the corner of his eye from time to time, and he could see his exhaustion.So the urgent case was dealt with first, and the others were left until tomorrow. He didn't want Cheng Chong to keep guarding him until midnight and not go home.

"Let's go."

"Busy working?"

"Well, the rest can be done tomorrow."

"Are you going to work overtime again tomorrow?"

"It's okay. It's normal to work overtime in our line of work. I've been a little busy recently."

"Then you must eat on time and eat something nutritious, otherwise I will feel bad."

"Understood." Jiao Zilie's blunt expressions to Cheng Chong are not as awkward as they were at the beginning. A big man is always coy and awkward.He is not ashamed when he says that, there is nothing to be embarrassed about.

Jiao Zilie got into this fiery red sports car again. He really felt that it was a little too ostentatious, but he also felt that this car was actually just right when it was paired as a rush.

"You buy me a drink this weekend."

"why?"

"Because you said you bought me a drink last weekend."

"Didn't I invite you?"

"But the scholar court confiscated your money, it doesn't count!"

It seems that such things as borrowing flowers to offer Buddhas are really technical, and not everyone can do it. "Then Saturday night."

"Okay, what do you do during the day on Saturday? We can go together."

"Nate and I are going to climb the Great Wall. If you feel that you have the strength and no place to use it, you can come together."

"The lingering guy!"

"What are you muttering about?"

"Oh, I said I'll go with you." Cheng Chong turned his face and gave him a sunny smile.

When going upstairs, Jiao Zilie thought it was necessary to have a good talk with Nate. The two have known each other for so long, and they have never been like this before.He didn't know why Cheng Chong and Nate couldn't be friends, did Nate find out that Cheng Chong was chasing him?He doesn't like gays?

"Nate, I'm back."

"I thought you weren't coming back today." The sour taste in the words couldn't be more obvious.

"I think we should have a good talk."

"Okay, what do you want to talk about?"

"Why don't you like Cheng Chong? Isn't he your brother's good friend?"

"Tell me first, what is your relationship with him? A partner? A friend? Or... something else?"

God Zilie was not mentally prepared for his question, but he didn't intend to hide it either. "I have something to tell you, but I hope you don't look down on me."

"If I look down on anyone, it's impossible to look down on you."

"Actually, Cheng Chong and I only had a relationship at work at first, and then we gradually became friends. When you went to the United States, one day he suddenly told me that he liked me and started chasing me. So what are we now? relationship, I don’t know either.”

"He really said that?!" Nate's chest was heavy, why did such a big thing happen while he was away!

"Well, I was also taken aback at first."

"Then do you like him?"

"I can't say I like it, I can only say I don't dislike it."

"Then do you like men?"

"I don't know. Because before I told Cheng Chong that I don't like men, he said that maybe it's not that I don't like men, but I just don't know. So, I changed my words now and said that I don't know, haha."

Nate didn't find it funny at all.He suddenly hugged his godson, "Liam, I have liked you for more than two years, do you know that?" He felt the body of the person in his arms stiffen obviously, but he remained silent.So he continued: "When I was in school, I was afraid of delaying your study plan, and I also wanted to graduate with you, and I was afraid of affecting myself, so I didn't say anything. Who knew that you suddenly had a girlfriend after you came back , although you broke up not long ago, but I don't want to tell you this when you are not ready."

"But I have always regarded you as my best friend, am I wrong?"

"You're not wrong, I'm indeed your best friend. You know what? A couple who love each other should be each other's best friends."

"Nate, I...I can't take it all at once, I think I need some time."

"I know, sorry, Liam. If it doesn't make a difference, I guess I'll wait a little longer."

"Why do you like me?"

"I wouldn't like you if I knew why."

"I do not want to lose you."

"How can you lose me, I will always be by your side."

"Do you think that under the current circumstances, if we can't be lovers, can we still be friends?" Jiao Zilie looked at Nate with piercing eyes that made people feel distressed.

"How do you know that we can't be lovers? If we really can't be lovers, I will still treat you as before without any change. My feelings for you will not change because of our different relationships .”

"I... I'm so messed up. One Cheng Chong is already troublesome, why are you added now! I... Do I look gay?"

"Everyone likes you not because of your gender, but because of who you are. Don't you know that there are many people who like you?"

"I don't know, except for Zhizhi, I really don't know who else has liked me."

"Then you know now that Zhou Zhizhi, Cheng Chong and I all like you."

"Okay, okay, stop talking, I want to go back and be quiet."

After closing the door, Zilie's heartbeat couldn't help but increase. He was quite calm just now. He really cared too much about his friend Nate, and he didn't want to do anything that would hurt him.He didn't know if he liked men, he didn't know if he liked Cheng Chong, he knew he liked Nate, but it was the friendship between two men, he didn't think there was more.

Cheng Chong's side is easy to deal with, anyway, he has a thick skin.But Nate is different, Nate is his best friend, although he said that their friendship will not change because of their relationship.But Jiao Zilie knew in his heart that from the moment Nate confessed his love to him, the friendship between them could never go back, no matter what their relationship was in the end.

What should I do!What should I do!I never had to deal with emotional matters before, but now suddenly there are two people, and they are both men!The godson had a flash of inspiration, he needed a military advisor, Zhou Zhizhi!

After counting [-] sheep, Jiao Zilie finally managed to fall asleep.

The godson basically didn't sleep much, because he got up early in the morning to catch the bus. In order to avoid the embarrassment of being in the same car with Nate, he had to sacrifice some sleep.

"Zhizhi, are you free tonight?"

"If you want me, I'm free anytime."

"Thank you, I want to consult you about something, shall we have dinner together tonight?"

"no problem!"

Both Jiao Zilie and Zhou Zhizhi are very pleased that everyone can still contact from time to time and maintain the relationship of friends.They also know that the other party is someone they care about very much, and as long as the other party needs it, they will be obliged to come forward.

When he was about to get off work, Jiao Zilie kept staring at the time. When the time jumped to six o'clock, he rushed out of the company.

When he arrived at the appointed place, Zhou Zhizhi was already waiting for him.

Zhou Zhizhi waved at him, "This way."

"Why did you come so early? I came here as soon as I got off work."

"It's okay, I just arrived too." Zhou Zhizhi still had his familiar smile on his face.

"How are you doing recently? Is your married life still getting used to it?"

"Not bad, better than expected."

"You must have imagined it too scary."

"Don't talk about me first, what are you looking for?" Zhou Zhizhi still didn't change her gossip. She had been waiting for a day and couldn't wait to find out what it was.

"What I'm going to tell you next may cause you a very large injury index, you must be mentally prepared!"

Zhou Zhizhi was a little startled seeing the seriousness of Jiaozilie.

"Are you ready?"

"Ready!"

"Cheng Chong and Nate both said they like me." Godfather finished it in one breath, otherwise he was afraid that he would not have the courage to continue.

Jiao Zilie looked at Zhou Zhizhi who was stunned and remained silent, "Scared you?"

Zhou Zhizhi slapped his thigh suddenly and said, "So that's how it is!"

"What is this?"

"From the first time I met Nate, I felt that he was hostile to me. At first I thought you two were too close, and he didn't know me well. As for Cheng Chong, I think his eyes always followed me. Looking at you, I always thought he thought you were too good and didn't want to be compared to you. After a long time, they both like you!" This is big gossip! ! !

"Do you find it disgusting?" Jiaozilie asked cautiously, not knowing how Zhou Zhizhi would view the issue of homosexuality.

"Xiao Lie, what age is it, and I have such friends by my side."

"Could it be that the country is so open now? I'm a little out of date..."

"Openness is not considered, but the thinking of the younger generation has improved a lot."

"We don't care about how the society is progressing, so please give me some advice first!"

"Which idea?"

"Some time ago, Cheng Chong suddenly said that he liked me and wanted to chase me. And I agreed to let nature take its course to see if I would like him. Originally, the two of us were in peace, that is, we had nothing to do together and ate together. Watching TV or something, there is no pressure. But yesterday Nate also confessed to me that he liked me when we went to school together. I couldn’t accept it at once, and I didn’t know how to face him. Get up and go to work, and come to see you right away after work."

"Xiao Lie, whether you are a man or a woman, you have to remember one thing. It is the most shameful thing to step on two boats!"

"I'm wronged! I didn't do anything!"

"I know, what I mean is, since both of you have expressed your love for you, you have to make a decision. You can't keep procrastinating like this, and at the same time enjoy the admiration of the two of you. There is also the most important thing Question, when did you become gay? Did my marriage stimulate you too much?" Zhou Zhizhi bullied him with a malicious smile.

"I haven't thought about this issue, because I don't understand how homosexuality is defined. In my heart, love is love, and it is the most genuine feeling from the heart of human beings. The object is not important, and neither is gender."

Zhou Zhizhi nodded in agreement. "Then what are your plans now?"

"I need to calm down for two days, collect my thoughts, and talk to Nate when I climb the Great Wall on Saturday."

"What about Cheng Chong?"

"I haven't thought about him yet. Let's come one by one. After all, Nate is more important. Let's solve his problem first."

"It's all because you are so attractive, neither men nor women can stop you~"

Just as God was about to say something, the phone rang, and it was Cheng Chong who saw it, and finally pressed the call button when the phone was about to hang up.

"Xiao Lie, I will be busy recently. Take care of your body and remember to eat well. I don't have time to deliver food to you, but I will call or send you a text message to remind you. I can't go with you on Saturday, wait Let's meet again after we've been busy for a while. I have something to do here, so let's not talk about it."

The godson didn't say a word during the whole phone call, he could tell that Cheng Chong really cared about him, and at the same time, he could hear the exhaustion and anxiety in his voice, hoping that he could finish the matter as soon as possible.

After making up his mind to deal with this matter as soon as possible, Jiao Zilie felt a little more relaxed.Chatted with Zhou Zhizhi about her affairs, and stopped worrying about her own affairs.
