"You like me too, don't you?"

Wen Nan was surprised when he heard this sentence.What Yang Mingrui said about liking was the kind that wanted to be his lover. It turned out that Yang Mingrui had always had such thoughts for him, and Wen Nan only knew it now.

From Yang Mingrui's point of view, they are in love with each other, and it's no wonder that Wen Nan's attitude towards him is very ambiguous, so Yang Mingrui thinks that his feelings have been responded to.

When he said these words, Yang Mingrui was originally full of confidence, but Wen Nan remained silent for a while, and Yang Mingrui became a little uncertain again, his always bright and sunny smile collapsed, and a trace of disappointment flashed in his eyes.

"Will I be wrong? You...don't mean that to me?"

Seeing his expression, Wen Nan couldn't help feeling a pain in his heart.

Why should he make him sad?This is not what he expected.At any time, all he wants is for Yang Mingrui to live a good life, if agreeing to his request can make him happy, then what does it matter?

So Wen Nan said, "No, I was just too surprised... I thought I was hiding it well."

Yang Mingrui immediately smiled happily. He hugged Wen Nan and said, "I was too impatient to confirm all this, but I didn't expect it to be true. You really like me too. I'm so happy."

Wen Nan froze for a moment, then slowly reached out and hugged him back.

This feeling is very warm, Wen Nan thought to himself, once he grasped it, he didn't want to let it go.

After that, they stayed together for a long time, and there was nothing important. They ate together and just sat on the sofa stupidly.A funny variety show was playing on TV, and the host and the audience laughed from time to time, but none of them watched it.Yang Mingrui occasionally leaned over to kiss him, but he didn't make any further moves.Wen Nan found that he did not reject kissing.

When Wen Nan got home, it was almost ten o'clock in the evening.

"Where have you been?" A cold voice suddenly sounded.

A person slowly walked out of the shadows, it was a young man in his twenties, his cold gaze was fixed on Wen Nan, and there was no smile on his face.

Wen Nan breathed a sigh of relief: "Liangchuan, why are you here?" He opened the door and invited the young man in.

Liang Chuan entered the door, sat on the sofa familiar with the way, and continued the topic just now: "You have never come back so late before."

"I have something to do, I'm delayed." Wen Nan said briefly.

"Have you seen him?"

Hearing this sentence, the expression on Wen Nan's face froze.

Liang Chuan slowly repeated: "Have you seen him—Yang Mingrui?"

"……how do you know?"

"I can tell just by looking at you recently." Liang Chuan sighed, and the atmosphere relaxed: "You have been hanging around him all these years, haven't you? Although he doesn't know at all--that'Da Zhuang'. He still follows Just as naive as a child."

The long-lost address made Wen Nan's heart sink. It has been nearly ten years since that incident happened.

"I said, when will you be able to get out of that incident?" Liang Chuan said, "It is true that Hei Dazhuang has had a bad life these years, but it is not your responsibility, and since you know his After living in the house, I secretly gave him money almost every month. It used to be living expenses, but now that I work, it’s salary. What on earth do you—”

"No." Wen Nan suddenly interrupted Liang Chuan's words.

"No," he repeated: "It's my fault. Yang Mingrui's current life is all caused by me."

Wen Nan still remembers that summer evening when he passed by Yang Mingrui's house and saw the blood flowing from the room.

At that point, he could have called an ambulance, if he had told the grown-ups what had happened there, if he had made any movement... the people in the room might have been saved.Everything might be different.

But he didn't.

He did nothing.

Yang Mingrui's parents died. Over the years, Yang Mingrui was picked up by his relatives, then abandoned, and then adopted by an unrelated family. Although he is only 22 years old, he has already tasted the pain of most of his life.

All because of him.

These are all sins committed by Wen Nan.

He was young at the time and thought he could gradually forget about it.But as he grew older, the guilt in his heart became more and more serious. In these years, he has not spent a single day in repentance.

The next day, Wen Nan went to the consulting room of the Traditional Chinese Medicine Hospital again. It was really deserted in the afternoon, and there was not a single patient.

When Yang Mingrui saw him, a shy smile appeared on his face.

"Sit down quickly." The old doctor greeted him repeatedly: "What's wrong with you?"

Wen Nan said quickly: "I don't see a doctor, Director Li. I've been here a few times. What do you think of the effect of the new medicine promoted by our company?"

"It's the golden buckwheat flakes." Yang Mingrui added in a low voice.

"Oh... oh!" The old doctor showed a suddenly realized expression, it seemed that he had already forgotten about this matter.At this time, I saw him take out a piece of paper with handwriting from the drawer: "Come on, write down the specifications and usage of the medicine on it."

Wen Nan was overjoyed, and made a record, and the chance of using the medicine would be greater.

After get off work, Wen Nan walked out of the hospital gate with Yang Mingrui.

"Where are you going today? Your home or mine?" Yang Mingrui said.

It was only at this moment that Wen Nan really felt that they were really together, and this realization suddenly made his heart beat faster and he became nervous.Dating?The communication between two men turned out to be no different from ordinary couples.

He thought about this aimlessly, until he heard Yang Mingrui's suggestion: "... Otherwise, eat outside?"

Wen Nan smiled: "Both of us have no money, what should we go out to eat?"

Yang Mingrui scratched his head and said distressedly: "Yes."

They walked for a while in silence.

"Those money—" Yang Mingrui said so suddenly.Wen Nan turned his head and looked at him.Yang Mingrui looked straight at him with a pair of dark eyes: "I've always wanted to ask you, did you give me that money?"

"what?"

"Every month, the envelope that appears under the door contains a lot of money. Did you give it to me? It was because of that incident that year that you—"

Wen Nan's face turned completely white.

Yang Mingrui knew, he knew everything.

Now, there is no need to ask how he knew.It was Wen Nan who underestimated Yang Mingrui.He always thought that Yang Mingrui probably didn't remember him since he hadn't seen him for nearly ten years.At that time, he was only 13 years old, and his appearance should have changed a lot from a boy to a young man.

Because he felt ashamed, he had been silently paying attention to Yang Mingrui all these years.

What about Yang Mingrui?Why does he remember?

"I've always wondered, why are you doing this?"

Yang Mingrui's words continued.

"How do you know where I live?"

Wen Nan couldn't answer.

"Are you sympathizing with me? Because of what I've been through these years."

No, not sympathy.

He is a sinner.

If Yang Mingrui knew the truth, what would he think of him?Wouldn't he hate him? ?
