Salted Toffee

Zhu Yu thought that Fu Cizhou would give him a gift, but he didn't expect this gift to be so precious.

He almost forgot to watch the fireworks in the second half. He lowered his head and held his shark and bracelet for fear of losing or breaking them.

Fu Cizhou saw it in his eyes, and said proudly: "I like it so much?"

Zhu Yu followed his intention and said, "Well, I like it."

He put the shark wood carving in a box and put it away. Zhu Yu held the sandalwood bracelet in his hand and played it back and forth like chanting sutras.

He didn't expect that Fu Cizhou, who seemed quite out of tune, would think of giving this thing away.

Zhu Yu hit Fu Cizhou in the face with a straight ball, and Fu Cizhou was also a little embarrassed: "You are really direct."

"Master," Zhu Yu suddenly raised his head, "This must be very expensive, right?"

Zhu Qin also likes to make these purple sand pots and sandalwood skewers. Zhu Yu has seen a few of them at home, but Zhu Qin doesn't usually take them out.

Moreover, although the sandalwood bead has not been polished properly, but the golden dots on it can be seen when facing the light, it should be a high-quality wood.

"It's okay?" Fu Cizhou thought for a while, "But it shouldn't be that expensive? My dad just gave it to me, so I don't feel bad."

Zhu Yu swallowed: "I can let my uncle buy it himself...it should be... very expensive."

Although Fu Cizhou also thinks this should be the case, but the price is said to be expensive, and it feels a bit wrong.

"Why are you so concerned about the price?" Fu Cizhou flicked Zhu Yu's forehead, "The point is that I grind it myself, okay?"

Zhu Yu rubbed his forehead and smiled with crescent-like eyes: "Mmm, thank you, young master."

Fu Cizhou was very beautiful in his heart, and he was a little fluttering when he walked: "By the way, my grandma even took it to the temple and consecrated it, saying that it can keep you safe and prevent disasters."

Holding the bracelet, Zhu Yu became more careful: "Grandma knows?"

"Well..." Fu Cizhou dragged his voice, "Forget it...you know."

He still remembered that a few months ago he had finished grinding the beads and handed them to his grandma to check. His little aunt Fu Beibei was also there, and his teeth almost fell out.

"Hey, who is this for?"

"This little bead is ground, long live love!"

"Mom, look, look! Xiaozhou is in love!"

Fu Cizhou's ears were reddened by the words, but grandma didn't ask any more questions, but just smiled happily.

"Zhouzhou has grown up and knows how to hurt others."

"Grandma!" Fu Cizhou hurriedly interrupted her.

In order to sharpen this string of bracelets, he wore out a box of wooden beads, and the reason was because of Fu Yanting's saying "red sandalwood prevents cancer and prevents angina pectoris".

This had something to do with Zhu Yu, so he moved back to learn how to grind a little bit by himself.

It's just that later he discovered that this thing can't cure any disease, it's just a thing, at most it can calm the nerves.

But that's fine too, with something auspicious, whatever.

After the fireworks show, Fu Cizhou sent Zhu Yu back.

It's not ten o'clock, and the evening self-study is half an hour away from get out of class.

The two were going to take the bus, but there were so many people and it was early, so they simply walked along the road.

With his hands in his pockets, Zhu Yu secretly touched the little shark along the way.

He even understood a little bit the joy of dishing walnuts. If Fu Cizhou carves another one for him, he might hold two fish together.

"Uncle hasn't come back today?" Fu Cizhou stood at the gate of the courtyard and looked in.

"No," Zhu Yu opened the door, "Come in and have a seat?"

Fu Cizhou rubbed his nose, as if he was a little embarrassed: "It's a big night..."

"Then forget it?" Zhu Yu deliberately teased him.

"I'll just be polite to you like this," Fu Cizhou pushed Zhu Yu to go in, "Why are you so ignorant!"

Zhu Yu bumped away from Fu Cizhou, turned around and closed the door: "Why are you so polite..."

Zhu Qin didn't come back today, the lights were not turned on at home, and it was pitch black.

Zhu Yu didn't care about Fu Cizhou, and ran back to the room by himself, sat at the table and turned on the lamp, and carefully looked at the shark wood carving.

The texture of the fins, the curvature of the fish body, the scattered teeth, and the agility of the tail.

He even forgot that there was a small goldfish hanging on his wrist, and when he remembered, he ran to the bathroom with a cotton mop to find a "home" for the goldfish.

"Look, you're in a hurry." Fu Cizhou took off his shoes and entered the room barefoot, "Why don't you turn on the lights to save electricity?"

"If you can see it, don't open it much." Zhu Yu found a two-liter beverage bottle, cut a hole horizontally with scissors, filled it with water, and put the small fish in it.

Fu Cizhou still turned on the light: "What should I do if I get the cut?"

"It can't be cut." Zhu Yu trotted back to his room with the drink bottle in hand.

Fu Cizhou turned off the lights, and seeing Zhu Yu busy, he wanted to laugh: "Slow down."

Zhu Yu put the drink bottle on the bookcase, but thought it was inappropriate, so he took it off and put it on the desk.

Fu Cizhou was sitting at the table, playing with the small bamboo fish in his hand.

"Are you still keeping it?"

Zhu Yu glanced at him, and carried the goldfish to the glass case.

Fu Cizhou glanced over Zhu Yu's bed, and said with satisfaction: "The dolls are here too."

Zhu Yu found the basic exercise book and piled it on the bottom of the plastic bottle to prevent it from tipping over and slipping.

"Have you finished eating the sugar painting I gave you?" Fu Cizhou stood up, grabbed the jellyfish doll on the bed, and tugged at its long tentacles.

Zhu Yu ignored him, sat on the chair and continued to look at his wooden sculpture of a small shark.

Fu Cizhou talked to himself for a long time without responding, threw the doll on the bedside, put one hand on the table, and the other on the back of the chair where Zhu Yu was sitting.

"Zhu Xiaoyu, are you deaf?"

Zhu Yu raised his chin and looked at Fu Cizhou.

He didn't speak, just blinked his eyes twice, and lowered his head back again.

"What are you doing?" Fu Cizhou smiled and rubbed his hair, "Are you cute?"

Zhu Yu obediently sat down and kneaded for him, put the little shark into a box, and put it solemnly in the drawer with Sugar Painting.

"Zhu Xiaoyu," Fu Cizhou pinched his ears, "Why don't you talk!"

Zhu Yu closed the drawer, clasped the edge of the table with both hands, and insisted on looking at Fu Cizhou: "What did you say?"

Fu Cizhou was amused: "Do you still have something to say?"

"Yes," Zhu Yu pursed his lips, "now."

He didn't want to talk to Fu Cizhou, he wanted to deal with Fu Cizhou directly.

Zhu Yu suddenly had an idea in his heart that "it can be clarified".

He felt that Fu Cizhou could confess to himself by doing this.

As long as the other party said it, he would agree directly, without even thinking about it.

But, why didn't Fu Cizhou say it?

Or take the initiative?

But what if Fu Cizhou didn't want to make any progress at all?

It's best to stay where you are.

Zhu Yu said silently three times in his heart.

They are only 17 years old, and anything is possible in the future.

It is too early to be anxious to make sure now, Fu Cizhou is not stupid, he should know that there is a way out.

So... that's it?

Zhu Yu felt a little disappointed.

It's like there are two little people pulling in his head.

A villain said, "If you want to talk, just say it! If you like him, you can go to him, don't think so much about what you have and what you don't have!"

But the other said, "Can't Fu Cizhou speak? He is such a quick-tempered person. If he wanted to do something, he would have done it long ago. There must be a reason for not taking the last step. You are so smart, why are you not as good as Fu Cizhou?" ?"

Zhu Yu thought a lot, and after weighing the pros and cons, he followed the latter.

It will only take a few years, at the earliest it will be a year, and it will not be too late when they finish the college entrance examination and become adults.

"What are you thinking about?" Fu Cizhou flicked Zhu Yu's bangs with his fingers.

Zhu Yu turned his head to avoid Fu Cizhou's touch: "It's nothing..."

Fu Cizhou didn't understand why Zhu Yu suddenly became cold.

Although he didn't say anything, he didn't do anything, but his eyes changed at that moment, it felt wrong, too wrong.

"You wear shoes." Zhu Yu noticed that Fu Cizhou was still barefoot, so he took off his cotton thongs to him.

Before Fu Cizhou could refuse, Zhu Yu walked out of the bedroom and went to the porch to get Zhu Qin's shoes to wear.

"I'll take a shower," Zhu Yu opened the closet, took a change of clothes, walked a few steps in a dull manner, then turned back and turned on the air conditioner in the room, "You...wait..."

Fu Cizhou nodded and began to reflect on what he did wrong just now.

But after thinking about it for a while, I didn't feel that I was wrong.

And when Zhu Yu got to the bathroom, he was still thinking about why he had to take a bath in winter.

After much deliberation, it was probably because he didn't want to stay in the same room with Fu Cizhou.

Turn on the Yuba to turn on the hot water, take off his clothes a few times, and take a shower from start to finish.

Zhu Yu was even a little skeptical about life, because he didn't have Fu Cizhou's bomb/powder bag to hold his breath.

Could it be that he is in love?

no?This is too... painful.

Zhu Yu was bored in the bathroom for almost half an hour, and when he came out, he especially hoped that Fu Cizhou would leave silently and not let him see.

However, Fu Cizhou not only did not leave, but fell asleep by Zhu Yu's bedside.

Zhu Yu: "..."

Don't really think of yourself as an outsider.

Although the air conditioner was turned on in the room, it is still easy to catch a cold when sleeping without a quilt in winter. Zhu Yu wanted to wake Fu Cizhou up, but he stopped talking.

His hair was still a little wet with a towel on it.

Zhu Yu wiped his hair casually, and returned the towel to the bathroom.

It seemed as if he had gone out to calm down for a while. His heart, which had been calmed after taking two breaths of cold air, became agitated again the moment he entered the door and saw Fu Cizhou.

Since when did he care about Fu Cizhou so much?Do you care that you can't bear to look at it, your heart beats faster and you swallow your saliva? !

Can't stand it.

Zhu Yu rubbed his face and pushed Fu Cizhou's shoulder: "Wake up."

Unexpectedly, Fu Cizhou not only did not wake up, but instead fell on the bed.

"..."

What does it mean to fall asleep without being shaken, Zhu Yu has seen it today.

"Fu Cizhou, wake up," Zhu Yu bent one leg, pressed his knee on the bed, and went straight to grab someone, "Are you a pig so sleepy?"

Fu Cizhou frowned, opened Zhu Yu's hand, and lay sideways facing the head of the bed.

Really can't get up? !

Zhu Yu almost didn't laugh, so he simply grabbed his arm with both hands: "Get up...!"

In the middle of his words, Fu Cizhou turned around suddenly, and bumped his thigh against the edge of the bed, almost copying Zhu Yu's bottom line.

Zhu Yu's upper body was originally hanging on Fu Cizhou's body, but in this way, he just lay down on it.

"Damn it..." He arched his head next to Fu Cizhou's face. If the two of them hadn't staggered their heads, they might have collided with each other right now.

Responding quickly, Zhu Yu pressed the bed and barely supported his upper body, but unexpectedly found that his waist was held by Fu Cizhou from behind.

A desk lamp was turned on in the room, which was roughly covered by the bodies of the two of them.

Fu Cizhou's eyes were half closed, as if he hadn't woken up yet.

The two were very close, and Zhu Yu took the courage to make the distance even closer.

The tips of the noses could almost touch each other, and Zhu Yuneng could see Fu Cizhou's slowly widening eyes, as well as himself in the dark pupils.

The sound of breathing and heartbeat intertwined, Zhu Yu curled up his fingers holding the sheet, and was about to close his eyes in the next second.

But unexpectedly, Fu Cizhou suddenly pushed him away, as if he had seen a ghost, as if he was very frightened.

"Damn it!" he yelled, his whole body still in shock, "Why did you come here all of a sudden?!"

Zhu Yu opened his mouth, seeing all his rejection in his eyes: "I..."

"Wow, shit, shit..." Fu Cizhou turned around and buried his face in the quilt, not wanting Zhu Yu to see his hot head.

what happened? !As soon as he opened his eyes, he saw such a big Zhu Yu!

Fuck? !Fortunately, he held back, otherwise he would have really kissed him!

Damn, this is still Zhu Yu's quilt!

Like a silly roe deer, Fu Cizhou pulled his head out of the quilt again.

He still doesn't know Zhu Yu's sexual orientation, he doesn't know Zhu Yu's thoughts, he hasn't figured out anything, so he can't just be so reckless!

But his breathing was heavy, and his heartbeat increased. As long as Zhu Yu is not a fool, he will definitely be able to see his thoughts! ! !

"Is it because I'm a boy?" Zhu Yu asked him suddenly.

Fu Cizhou was frightened half to death, and turned to look at Zhu Yu: "Ah...?"

He was a little confused by this endless question.

"Because...I'm a boy..." The sentence was cut into several words by Zhu Yu, as if it was very difficult to say, "So you..."

Fu Cizhou waited for a long time but didn't get anything to say, but he felt that what Zhu Yu said seemed to be correct.

"Well..." He nodded, "Because...you are a boy."
