inherent gravity

, subconsciously fumbled in his pocket—it was empty, no cigarettes with him today.

"Fuck." Kou Xiao irritably punched the window lattice, staring at the anti-theft net outside the window and sighed heavily.

He had told Mu Qing before that he didn't like men, and more than once.

"Why are you..." Kou Xiao hooked a wire with his fingers and pulled it aside, and a curved gap was created with all his strength, "Forget it."

He also couldn't tell what it was like when he heard the crying request, Mu Qing didn't have much strength to grab his hand, and it was still sticky with sweat, so he could easily shake it off without much effort.

But when he really let go, Kou Xiao felt a little distressed.

He was so weak, he just wanted someone to be with him.These two thoughts crossed his mind.

Just to accompany him.Kou Xiao gritted his teeth and turned to pick up the porridge on the table, suppressing the strange feeling in his heart.

Since we all have things we can't say to each other, let's never say them.

"Have some porridge." Kou Xiao put the porridge on the table and began to unpack it, "I don't know what you like to eat, so I ordered a preserved egg lean meat and yolk bun."

"Thank you." After the medicine took effect, Mu Qing's expression eased a lot, and he sat up slowly leaning against the edge of the bed.

"Does anyone want to say thank you every time they punch you?" Kou Xiao set up a small table on his bed, put the food on it and passed a plastic spoon: "Be careful of burning."

Mu Qing's eyes were a little hot from the hot air of the preserved egg and lean meat porridge.

"Then what do you have for dinner?" Mu Qing raised his head and asked halfway through eating.

"Give you a bun, I'll eat it later when I get home." Kou Xiao stretched out two fingers and squeezed a bun from the plastic box, put it in his mouth and chewed slowly, "It's okay, you eat yours."

"Yeah." Mu Qing lowered his head and stopped talking. He basically didn't make a sound when he was eating, and Kou Xiao was the only one in the room chewing softly for a while, and the atmosphere was a bit dull.

When packing the lunch box, Mu Qing slowly leaned over to reach for the mobile phone on the table: "How much is it? I'll transfer it to you."

Kou Xiao's hand that tied the bag paused: "No, I invite you."

After several arguments, Mu Qing had no choice but to give up. Watching Kou Xiao tie up the garbage into a bag and then lean back against the bed, he hesitated to speak but didn't know where to start.

"Can I ask you something?" Kou Xiao sat down again, looking straight at him.

"What?" Mu Qing was a little nervous when he saw Shang Kou Xiao's serious expression, even a little afraid that he would say something to break up the relationship with the first opening of his mouth.

"When I was away," Kou Xiao said softly, "Do you often visit Lao He?"

"Well... I haven't been there for a while." Mu Qing's eyes dodged a little, and he almost tore the quilt: "Not often."

"Don't be nervous," Kou Xiao tucked the quilt for him, "Why didn't you tell me when I asked you before?"

"Did Uncle He tell you?" Mu Qing's voice was very low.

"Nonsense, he almost wants to recognize you as his son." Kou Xiao sighed.

"Really?" Mu Qing's eyes lit up, and when he met Kou Xiao's eyes, he was a little flustered: "Uncle He is really nice, but it's definitely not what you think! You are the only one in his heart." Best of all, I just..."

"When did I say I wanted to compete with you?" Kou Xiao froze for a moment, a little dumbfounded: "I'm just talking, idiot."

Mu Qing's heart skipped a beat.

"He likes to nag when he's old, so he shouldn't have talked to you a lot, right?" Kou Xiao coughed lightly.

"No, no, Uncle He will tell me a lot of interesting things that happened to him." Mu Qing said.

"Interesting thing?" Kou Xiao raised his eyebrows, "Did you say anything about me?"

"No, Uncle He said that you are his heart disease." Mu Qing glanced at him with a smile, "The kind that never made him worry since he was a child."

"Really?" Kou Xiao rubbed his chin, couldn't help laughing twice: "That's true, this old fox."

"I didn't have any interesting things when I was a child. I just fought with others every day, and then I also fought when I went to college." Kou Xiao clicked his tongue: "When I first moved here, there were always two people who were not afraid of death and liked to come here to provoke them." I......"

"Kou Xiao." Mu Qing interrupted him suddenly.

"What?" Kou Xiao looked at him.

"Actually, I really envy you." Mu Qing said.

"What do you envy me? Can you fight with others?" Kou Xiao was a little baffled, and glanced at him up and down: "Actually, you have this physique. If you strengthen your training, you can barely survive it. At least you can fight without being punched." hit the ground..."

"I'm envious of you having a father like Uncle He." Mu Qing said softly, "My father died when I was very young."

Kou Xiao was silent for a while and looked at him: "I haven't even seen my own father."

"But Uncle He is very kind to you." Mu Qing also looked at him.

"Isn't your mother treating you well?" Kou Xiao said casually, and just as he finished speaking, he frowned at Mu Qing's downcast expression: "What's wrong? Did I say something wrong?"

"No." Mu Qing shook his head and did not continue this topic.

Kou Xiao observed the expression on his face, although he had never heard Mu Qing mention his family before, but the family education of a kind-hearted person like him should not be much worse.

But it might be an illusion, he saw that Mu Qing looked sad for a moment when he asked the first question.

"Are you still working two jobs?" Kou Xiao remembered the 3 yuan that Lao He mentioned. 3 yuan should be a lot for a student who is still in college, even if it is not enough. If he can survive until graduation, Mu Qing should have no reason to work so hard anymore.

"I resigned from the supermarket." Mu Qing said.

"What about the bar?" Kou Xiao frowned, remembering Huang Kang's smirk, "Why are you still staying in such a dangerous place? If you want to resign, you should resign from the bar first?"

Mu Qing lowered his head, unable to see the expression on his face clearly.

"I...I have to be there for a while."

"What are you going to do? Hurry up and quit." Kou Xiao felt a headache when he thought of that smoky place, "People who work in that kind of place, except for you, are probably not good people, so hurry up and stay away, do you know?"

"Not all of them." Mu Qing bit his lip, "There are also good people working in Heitan."

"Whatever you want." Kou Xiao was a little annoyed at his inexplicable stubbornness, so he could only suppress his temper and add: "No matter what, you should stay away from that Huang Kang, he is definitely not a good person."

"I know." Mu Qing nodded.

Seeing his cute appearance, Kou Xiao was at a loss for words for a moment, and felt that the conversation was like a jealous husband telling his wife to stay away from other men at all times, and he felt a little embarrassed after realizing it: "I mean... ..."

"I know," Mu Qing sighed, talking about Huang Kang, he has more headaches than Kou Xiao, "I will keep a distance from him."

"As long as you know, remember to resign early." Kou Xiao said gruffly.

"Got it, thank you." Mu Qing smiled and winked at him.

"It's better to study hard, otherwise it's useless to earn so much money." Kou Xiao clicked his tongue.

"You support me if you don't make money?" Mu Qing said casually.

"Yangbai, how many meals do you eat a day?" Kou Xiao coughed, pretending it was just a joke and forcibly cooperating with him.

"If you're afraid you can't afford it, you can eat twice a day," Mu Qing chuckled, "I can just eat radishes and cabbage."

"Come on, I'm so skinny, I don't want to eat more meat." Kou Xiao said and even reported the names of a bunch of meat: "Chicken wings, chicken legs, chicken breast, beef, mutton, pork belly, tell me which one do you want to eat?"

"Children make choices, I want them all." Mu Qing laughed so hard that he almost choked.

Kou Xiao secretly breathed a sigh of relief seeing the smile on his face, and glanced at the time on the phone, it was almost nine o'clock.

"It's nine o'clock, I really have to go back."

"Okay." Mu Qing didn't stop him this time, turned over and prepared to get off the bed: "I'll see you off."

"No, you'd better lie down." Kou Xiao stretched out his hand to push him back.

"...I have to lock the door." Mu Qing felt helpless.

As soon as the two reached the stairs, Kou Xiao looked at the thin pajamas on him and couldn't help but said: "It's okay, don't give it away if you wear so little, I will go back by myself."

"And your stomach..." Kou Xiao paused, "Anyway, just be careful and drink more hot water."

"I really trouble you today." The moment Mu Qing saw Kou Xiao's expression, he swallowed back the last sentence of embarrassment.

"Remember to eat more meat, you're really too thin." Kou Xiao frowned and looked at him, "If I get thinner, I'll come to visit you with a bunch of meat someday."

"The empty nester is always eager for your care." Mu Qing smiled and patted him on the shoulder, "Okay, let's go."

Kou Xiao hesitated for a second the moment he turned around, but still moved forward to give Mu Qing a gentle hug.

"Thank you for visiting Lao He, I will remember these for the rest of my life." Kou Xiao said.

"...You're welcome." Mu Qing was stunned for a moment, and immediately reacted and patted Kou Xiao on the back, "Anyway, we are friends."

"Well, let's go." When Kou Xiao let go of him, there was a hint of the fragrance of hair on the tip of his nose, a bit like honeysuckle.

Mu Qing watched him go down the steps and disappeared around the corner before he let out a soft breath and put his hand on his chest.

There, jump fast.

"We're friends.
