love this thing

Lin Tiyun knocked on the office door, then pushed it open to enter——she was the only one to enter.

Regardless of the friendship, Ke Shangchun felt that it was too inconvenient to disturb Tian Fuxin's work at this moment. The latter should be busy with the interview. Even if Lin Tiyun was with him, it was not what he wanted to do so rashly, so he hurriedly called Lin Tiyun to stop on the way. He said that he and Su Ming were waiting outside first.

——Fortunately, I persisted in this way.

Ke Shangchun looked in through the large glass window in the office, and saw Tian Fuxin standing in front of the promotional poster of his photography exhibition, talking with a slightly older woman, and besides the two of them, there were several staff members around , and people like journalists.

Everyone looked serious, confirming some details in a low voice.

As soon as Lin Tiyun entered, all the busy people looked at her, including Tian Fuxin, but apart from her, no one raised their eyebrows in particular.

But Lin Tiyun didn't care, and approached directly, not to mention the displeasure of the older woman beside Tian Fuxin.

At this moment, Ke Shangchun was standing outside, separated by a door, and he could feel the serious atmosphere inside. He still felt relaxed, so he couldn't help but feel a little nervous.

——But it was just nervous, and he didn't want to retreat and dodge.

Frankly speaking, due to busyness and coincidence, Tian Fuxin called several times to invite him, but Ke Shangchun often shied away or refused to go with excuses. Regarding this point, the former complained a few words with Sun Mu'an, and also expressed his dissatisfaction to him face to face.

Faced with these, Ke Shangchun could only smile and be speechless, and did not explain anything—it is always serious to have something to do, and it is always true that he made an appointment with someone first—he just didn’t say carefully that it was the same person. Who made the appointment.

I really didn't think too much about it at the beginning, and I also meant to consider Su Ming's mood, but I didn't expect it to become such a situation of unequal - and it was two-sided.

Ke Shangchun glanced at Su Ming, who was looking at the situation in the office with his usual expression.He hesitated for a while, but still opened his mouth.

"I never said a thing to you."

"..."

"The two of them..." Ke Shangchun said, looked aside, and after confirming that there was no one else, he said quickly in a low voice: "They are dating."

After finishing these words, the office was opened again, and Tian Fuxin, who had a serious expression, was suddenly met.

Lin Tiyun was on the side, and looked at the two apologetically—Ke Shangchun quickly understood the meaning, because at this moment, Tian Fuxin's face was angry, unbelievable, and more indescribably complicated.

... It is said that women are the scariest when they are angry.Right now, she is a beautiful woman with a ferocious face, as if she must swallow people alive.

At this moment, Tian Fuxin couldn't wait to make an attack, and she turned to Su Ming first, her eyes were full of fierceness: "——You! What's going on? What have you been playing for the past few years?"

"I've always been in T city." Su Ming said, compared to the other party, his reaction was as light as water.

Ke Shangchun saw that Tian Fuxin seemed to be choked, and his face turned blue and red alternately.She glared at Su Ming, and then looked at herself aggressively in the blink of an eye.

"I heard from Xiao Yun that you two came together?"

Ke Shangchun had already figured out what to say, but he couldn't say those words for a while.He glanced behind Tian Fuxin, there were a thousand people waiting in the office with the door open.

On the face of the older woman, there was even a little impatience.He paused for a moment, but did not explain: "—Congratulations on your exhibition."

Unexpectedly, Tian Fuxin was taken aback, and replied slightly awkwardly: "...Thank you."

"I see that you seem to have an interview to do now, so don't bother me for now." Ke Shangchun said again, hesitating for a moment: "Let's talk about it later when we find time."

Tian Fuxin raised her eyebrows, and said with no refusal: "Just tonight! Let's have a meal together."

"No." Su Ming said immediately, "I have something to do."

"..." Tian Fuxin kept her mouth shut and looked at Ke Shangchun with an angry expression on her face.

"...I have something to do too."

Tian Fuxin glared at him, opened her mouth as if to say something, then closed her mouth suddenly, and kept looking back and forth at the two of them—she was extremely sensitive in certain aspects, and when the two of them thought about it, they had the same impossible idea .

Ke Shangchun naturally saw suspicion and astonishment in that gaze, and couldn't help but feel embarrassed.

Lin Tiyun, on the other hand, didn't seem to think that much, and expressed regret as soon as she heard it. "Hey, what a coincidence, all the seniors have something to do, so how about this, leave your mobile number so that we can contact you later." She said, finally she was clever again.

"—Sweety!"

In the office, the older woman blurted out.Tian Fuxin frowned, then hastily seconded Lin Tiyun's words, and went back in.

Lin Tiyun stepped forward, closed the door, and smiled embarrassedly at Ke Shangchun and Su Ming. "Senior, can you wait? Senior sister's interview will be finished in a while." She said, "Ah, by the way, mobile phone number?"

It was impossible for Ke Shangchun to wait for Tian Fuxin's interview to end—Su Ming probably didn't want to, but he was not sure whether the latter would give him his cell phone number, so he had to speak first.

"...You have my number, don't you?"

"That's right, senior Su Ming's?" Lin Tiyun looked at Su Ming, and seeing that he didn't answer, asked again: "Or...wait for senior sister to finish?"

Su Ming said: "I can wait for a while, the exhibition is not finished yet. You don't have to accompany us, just do what you need to do. After a while, I will call his number to find someone."

Ke Shangchun couldn't help being surprised, and glanced at Su Ming.The latter's expression remained unchanged. After saying this, he pulled his arm, turned around with him, and walked towards the exhibition hall.

"...Su Ming, are you serious?"

After walking a few steps, Ke Shangchun couldn't hold back, and blurted out a question.

"Then you were telling the truth just now?" Su Ming didn't answer, but asked instead.

Ke Shangchun was taken aback for a moment before he remembered.

He nodded, and said a little embarrassed and apologetic: "I didn't hide it on purpose, it's just..."

"I just don't know how to say it." Su Ming interrupted flatly, but accepted his words.

"……Um."

Su Ming nodded.

"I was a little surprised. However, whether they are together or not has nothing to do with me, so it is a bit too serious to say that they are concealed. It is not that important to say or not to say this." He said for a long time, read Glancing at Ke Shangchun, he seemed to hesitate, and then asked, "Do you think it's important?"

Ke Shangchun was startled, shook his head, feeling a little helpless in his heart—if he thought it was important, he wouldn't be in such an embarrassing situation now.

He was silent for a moment before he spoke: "Then... you were just being perfunctory?"

Su Ming said nothing, just glanced at him.

Ke Shangchun couldn't help laughing, he didn't expect the other party to do this at all.

But that's okay, there's nothing wrong with it - he is grateful to Su Ming for doing this, because if he were to say it, he might be trapped in another predicament because of too many unnecessary worries.And frankly speaking, he was not sure at all that he could face Tian Fuxin who was in a rage.

The two of them walked around the venue and left to go to Zhao Xin's appointment.Naturally, they didn't say hello to Tian Fuxin and Lin Tiyun again—as Su Ming said, these two people have no spare time at all, and once they returned to the venue, they would be caught by other more important guests.

However, out of politeness, Ke Shangchun still sent a message to Tian Fuxin.But he thought, probably when he saw it, he didn't know what time to go.

The location of Zhao Xinyue is naturally a downtown area in the city. It takes about an hour to drive there from the exhibition center located in the suburbs, but today is the weekend and the weather is good. Those who drive to the suburbs for outings during the day will not be able to drive there in the evening. It was almost time to drive back, so the car was blocked on the road for about [-] minutes.

The driver was Su Ming.While on the road, Ke Shangchun chatted casually with him, and felt the phone vibrate constantly. Taking advantage of the gap, he took it out and clicked on it, and saw that there were no less than a dozen messages from Line displayed on the page.

Ke Shangchun looked at the contact person who sent the message, and couldn't help feeling his scalp tingle.

"how?"

Hearing Su Ming's question, Ke Shangchun immediately said calmly: "It's nothing, it's just a message. It's not important."

The agreed place is a semi open-air restaurant.

Because the weather is good, although the wind at night is a bit cooler, it is not uncomfortable to blow, so there are not many guests who choose the outdoor table compared to the indoor table.Scented candles were placed on each table, and each of the fireflies flickered faintly, blurring the shadows of each other sitting opposite each other.

On the way here, Su Ming called Zhao Xin and said that he would be late, so the two of them were about [-] minutes late, but Zhao Xin didn't get angry and left. waiting in place.

"Where did you go?"

After Ke Shangchun sat down with Su Ming and finished ordering, Zhao Xin asked with her hair cut—her tone was clear, and she didn't mean to press the question.

"Look at the exhibition." Su Ming said.

"Does it look good?" Zhao Xin asked, looking at Ke Shangchun friendly.

"...That's right, the exhibitor is a friend I know." Ke Shangchun only hesitated for a moment before answering the question.

Although he and Zhao Xin are not familiar, they are not completely strangers in terms of relationship. It seems that it is not right to be close or distant on purpose; Instead, follow nature.

He added another sentence: "It's a photography exhibition. It should be publicized for a while now."

Zhao Xin was stunned. "Oh, it's the exhibition where the photographer is a beautiful woman and the model is a beautiful woman." She said.

Ke Shangchun nodded and said, "Yes."

"Are you interested?" Su Ming asked while lighting a cigarette.

Zhao Xin groaned, and said that she had contacted a certain photographer a while ago. It turned out that she was discussing the plan of publishing a photo album. Later, she heard the other party talk about this photography exhibition. Since it was related to the work at hand, she stayed. Don't worry, just missed the ticket sales period, there is no way to go.

After hearing this, Ke Shangchun realized that all the tickets for Tian Fuxin's photography exhibition had been sold out. "So amazing?" he blurted out.

"Yeah, I can only say that the other agency's agency is very good..."

The three of them chatted casually with each other.Compared with other people, Zhao Xin and Su Ming are considered to be close. When they talk, their attitudes are slightly different; Ke Shangchun has always known about this, but he has always been unable to say what it is Feeling.

And he didn't understand why he was invited to this dinner?

After a while, the meals were delivered one after another. When eating, Ke Shangchun and Su Ming were used to being silent, but Zhao Xin was not. They ate and talked for a while. Ke Shangchun, the politeness in his tone faded a lot.

By the time the after-dinner coffee and tea are drunk, the atmosphere of the conversation is already natural and harmonious.

Zhao Xin talked about something that happened to Su Ming when he was in middle school.She didn't avoid the part where she confessed to Su Ming, and her tone wasn't the slightest embarrassment—no matter who it was to, at best, it was a little more teasing of herself.

"—It's wrong to love no matter how much you love." Zhao Xin sighed.

Ke Shangchun couldn't help blurting out: "Hongyi is good."

Zhao Xin was taken aback and smiled. "I know. But at the beginning, I liked his brother. You and Hongyi are good friends, so you probably know about me." She said.

Ke Shangchun glanced at Su Ming, who was silent and calm.

"...not too clear, Hongyi just mentioned his brother's matter, and didn't explain your part in particular." After a while, Ke Shangchun said.

Zhao Xin was slightly taken aback, then nodded. "Then are you familiar with his brother?" She asked again.

"Not at all familiar." Ke Shangchun replied.

Zhao Xin smiled, a little self-deprecating. "That's fine." She said, and then talked about how she and Liang Hong started dating.

But in fact, if she didn't say anything, Ke Shangchun could guess seven or eight points—before Liang Hong told him about his brother, he unconsciously revealed one or two things.

He really didn't think at the time that it would develop like this later.

Liang Hongyi's brother broke off the engagement with Zhao Xin not because he confirmed his sexual orientation, but because Zhao Xin opened his mouth.

Zhao Xin longed for a married life, so as soon as she graduated from university, she immediately agreed to Liang Hongyi's brother's marriage proposal, but the other party hesitated unexpectedly when asked about the exact date of marriage, and persuaded her to apply for the graduate school together.

In fact, she didn't want to go on to study that much, but she applied because she was seeking perfection, but after finishing the graduate school, the other party procrastinated on the grounds that her career had no basis—she had to suspect that there was a third party in her relationship, but why? Check but there is no.

And because of her fiancé, she was no stranger to Liang Hongyi, and they got along very closely for a while, but she didn't expect to go to another level.

"...He came to me, hesitated, and asked me if I really wanted to marry his brother? He also said abnormally about his own brother." Zhao Xin said with a low expression: "He actually said it quite vaguely, but I can understand I didn't want to ask anymore, I just felt tired, so I told his brother not to be together anymore, but his brother didn't ask to stay, he just said sorry."

Later... what happened to the other party, Zhao Xin didn't try to find out, but for some reason, Liang Hongyi frequently appeared by her side, after a few times, she finally understood why.

But she was worried about the perception of Liang's parents and her own parents, and she also needed to think carefully, and it took more than half a year to accept Liang Hongyi's feelings.

"Koichi is really nice. I still want to get married..."

After Zhao Xin said this, he paused for a moment, with a smile on his face, and said heartily, "Speaking of which, a lot of people are getting married recently."

Ke Shangchun smiled.The other party wanted to change the subject, so he naturally did as he pleased, casually mentioning that he attended a luxuriously decorated wedding last week.

Zhao Xin seemed very interested in this aspect, chatted happily, and talked about her thoughts on the wedding; she seemed to be completely relaxed, and suddenly talked about the details of her relationship with Liang Hongyi, and curiously asked Ke Shangchun and Compare some details of Su Ming's relationship with himself.

Ke Shangchun paused, but his face was still calm, and he answered in a light-hearted manner.He didn't look at Su Ming's expression, but he could guess what the latter's expression was—it was probably plain.

After Zhao Xin heard this, he turned the topic back to himself and didn't ask any further questions.

During this period, Su Ming answered very few, and it can be said that most of them did not speak.

In fact, when Zhao Xin was talking about himself, Ke Shangchun felt that the other party was beginning to keep silent - but the other party didn't say much in the first place, so it wasn't abnormal, not to mention that he couldn't express more opinions.

But what I talked about just now is not all irrelevant.

In front of Zhao Xin, there was no need to shy away from the relationship between the two, but when asked about his relationship with Su Ming face to face, he was actually a little uncomfortable.

Especially, after the topic of marriage and so on - and Su Ming didn't say anything.

When she paid the bill and was about to leave, Zhao Xin asked if she could take her to a place.Su Ming said it didn't matter, and then asked Ke Shangchun to wait at the door of the restaurant and go to pick up the car by himself.

"You..." After Su Ming walked away for a while, Zhao Xin opened his mouth and looked at Ke Shangchun.

"how?"

"You went to see the house yesterday, are you also planning to live together?"

"..." When Ke Shangchun was asked this question suddenly, he was really taken aback for a moment, but he immediately grasped the key words in his mind, and said, "Yes? Are you planning to live with Hongyi?"

"Well, I had this plan, and I just mentioned it to him. I haven't decided yet, but I ran to see it first..." Zhao Xin said, paused, and looked at Ke Shangchun suspiciously: "Then you..."

"no."

Ke Shangchun quickly interrupted and explained his situation a little awkwardly.

But after Zhao Xin heard this, there was still confusion on his face.

"Isn't that good?"

Ke Shangchun was startled.In less than a week, he was asked the same sentence by two different people, but he also couldn't answer immediately.

"Su Ming didn't say anything?" Zhao Xin asked again.

Ke Shangchun hesitated a little, and then said: "I didn't think about it so much, and—maybe, he didn't either." He didn't mean to say that, but wanted to repeat what he said to Ye Youquan before, but suddenly Can't tell

coming.

Those words, when I think about it now, seem so weak.

"Actually, I hope you don't tell Hong Yi what I said today." Zhao Xin said suddenly.

Ke Shangchun looked at her, thought for a while and asked, "I don't quite understand. Even though Hong Yi and I are good friends, and I know a little bit about the reason, why do you want me to be there because you have a deep friendship with Su Ming?"

Zhao Xin's face was slightly hesitant, but also a little complacent. "On this matter, I can think of someone I can talk to, only Su Ming, but I am a little embarrassed to talk to him alone..." She said: "He doesn't ask me about my relationship very much, and it's weird to say it to him all of a sudden."

Ke Shangchun couldn't help laughing: "Then it's not strange to tell me?"

"It's okay." Zhao Xin thought for a while, and quickly said, "I always feel that it is easier to talk to you than to him. You have always given me a gentle and friendly feeling, as if I asked you something just now, if you are not here No matter how curious I am, I won’t ask about it.”

Ke Shangchun didn't know what to say for a moment, and his mood was indescribably weird.It is estimated that Zhao Xin was also very awkward when he said this, and then asked again.

He quickly agreed, and the two of them agreed without further ado.

Su Ming came by car, first sent Zhao Xin to the destination, and then drove back to the road.

While in the car, Ke Shangchun took out his mobile phone—in fact, during the meal, messages continued to come in—in addition to Tian Fuxin, Sun Mu'an also sent a lot.

Ke Shangchun stared at the phone screen and couldn't help sighing. The most inconvenient thing about Line is that it will show whether you have read or not.He put down his phone and decided to escape from these first.

"Su Ming, I'd better go live at your place today." Ke Shangchun thought for a while and said.It turned out that it was agreed to go back to him, but he thought about something and couldn't help but change his mind.

Su Ming glanced at him, responded, and changed the driving direction.

Going in this direction is actually a little closer to where Su Ming lives. Ke Shangchun's temporary change is also justified-he thought that if the other party asked, he would be able to answer in this way; but Su Ming had no doubts or disagreement.

The car is parked in the underground parking lot.The two took the elevator up to the floor where Su Ming lived.

Su Ming opened the door with the key.

Compared with Ke Shangchun's apartment, the living room here is slightly larger, but Su Ming put in the basic furniture, and there are no more decorations, making it appear more spacious.

And the bedroom is the same.Only in the study room, there are too many things in a decent way, and it is also not a decent mess.

Ke Shangchun took a look at the living room quietly - he has been here many times, and most of them have written down where everything is placed, and Su Ming is not very good at moving things here.

"You..." he blurted out, "Have you thought about moving?"

Su Ming has lived in this place for seven or eight years - when he heard the former mention it, he was a little surprised - but it seems appropriate to put it on the other party.

Ke Shangchun has moved two or three times since he started working, and he has lived in an apartment for the longest time.It's not that I like to change the environment, but the living environment in front of me is really not that good.

On Su Ming's side, it's not that it's bad, but that the traffic is inconvenient, and you have to drive when you go out.

Hearing his question, Su Ming took off his coat and replied, "I thought about it before."

"Then why didn't you move?"

"Finding a house is difficult."

Regarding this point, Ke Shangchun could no longer agree. "Indeed." He sighed.

Su Ming put the coat he took off on his arm, looked at him, and suddenly asked, "Wash together?"

When asked suddenly, Ke Shangchun couldn't help but blushed—although it wasn't the first time the other party had spoken, the two of them had done everything together.

"Aren't you tired?" He smiled, asked and approached Su Ming at the same time, kissed Su Ming without waiting for an answer, and took off his coat at the same time.

"I'll wash it later."

When Su Ming let go, he said this in a low voice.

※※※

After taking a shower, the two of them lay on the bed with new sheets—the original set was drenched, and it was really not suitable to lie directly in this season.

It was early in the morning, and after going out for a whole day and having sex, he should feel tired to some extent, but for some reason, Ke Shangchun didn't feel sleepy at all.

So does Su Ming.

Seeing the other party sitting up suddenly, Ke Shangchun walked out of the room without saying anything.He thought for a while, then turned over and got out of bed, and went outside.

Ke Shangchun saw that the door of the study room was ajar, and a gleam of white light leaked out - the light was on, but it was a little weak, probably only the desk lamp was on.

He walked over and pushed the door open.

Su Ming sat in the chair in front of the table, but he didn't sit upright, but turned slightly sideways, leaning against the wide chair back.He lit a cigarette, heard the movement, and looked over.

Ke Shangchun went straight in, stood by the table, and caught sight of several stacks of books that were not neatly placed.He looked at it for a while, then reached out to fold it.

"...There will be more chaos." Su Ming said, with a hesitant tone: "Don't mess with it."

Ke Shangchun stopped - he folded the books neatly.He understands that everyone has their own habits, it's just slightly different.

However, there is more than one difference between the two in terms of living habits.

He is used to a regular life, but the other party is not; he drinks coffee, but the other party does not drink; sometimes he needs to socialize at work, but the other party does not use it, let alone he does not read romance novels, but the other party just writes such books .

——He is not picking on the other party.

What's more, he already knew about these differences in habits.

He didn't feel any discomfort—but he felt that he had to be aware of these things on purpose, and only through this could he think clearly about his hazy thoughts for a long time.

"Can't sleep?"

Ke Shangchun settled his thoughts and asked.

Su Ming exhaled and said in a low voice, "Fortunately, I want to smoke a cigarette."

Ke Shangchun nodded.

This is also true - he quit smoking early in the morning, but Su Ming didn't, and his addiction to smoking is not small.But if he lived with him, Su Ming would always hold back; living in his own home around now, naturally he couldn't bear the addiction to smoking.

Ke Shangchun glanced at the ashtray on the table and said, "Have you thought about quitting smoking?"

Under the faint light, he couldn't see Su Ming's expression clearly, but after hearing this sentence, the latter really focused his eyes on his face.

"You want me to quit?"

Frankly speaking, for the sake of health, Ke Shangchun naturally hopes, but apart from this, he does not hope so strongly. "Would you quit if I wished?" But he asked anyway.

"..."

Ke Shangchun said again: "Quitting smoking is difficult."

Su Ming didn't respond, took another puff of cigarette slowly, and then said, "I probably won't be able to quit."

Ke Shangchun looked at him, and asked gently: "—then how can you bear it?"

"..."

"Do you know? When I quit smoking, I just didn't want to smoke. I don't dislike the smell of smoke." Ke Shangchun said again, and reached out to remove the cigarette in Su Ming's hand, sniffed it lightly, and took the cigarette again I returned it.

Su Ming remained silent and looked at him.

This time, Ke Shangchun saw clearly, and there was a little bewilderment in his eyes.

He couldn't help smiling. "I don't mean to ask you to quit smoking." He said again: "I don't hate the smell of cigarettes in the house either. In my place, you don't have to bear it."

Su Ming was stunned for a long time before pressing the cigarette into the ashtray.He stood up, and suddenly pulled Ke Shangchun towards him and kissed him.

"Does it smell good?"

Ke Shangchun smiled and said, "Not bad."

Su Ming smiled lightly.

"It's late, go to sleep."

"Um."
