Rebirth of the Hidden

"Why are you here?" He Junyi asked in surprise, then looked around and asked in confusion, "You came alone?"

"I'll pick you up," Lin Minming reached out to help him push the suitcase, "but... I don't have a car."

He Junyi laughed: "That's really too bad."

Lin Minming: "?"

"I brought a lot of things." He Junyi hung the backpack around his neck, and took back the heavy suitcase. "I wanted to have a share with everyone. Since you are the only one here, I can only give you all. No Take the car too."

Lin Minming laughed.

In fact, it goes without saying that He Junyi also knew that it must be Gu Xinxin's ghost idea. This cousin has been very nervous since she was a child, but she was tightly controlled by her family. She was most afraid of her mother's nagging and taking her snacks.

She should have been scolded miserably for such a big disturbance this time.

He Junyi didn't care whether he went back to his home or not, anyway, he didn't stay for long, the affairs of the branch company were at a critical juncture, and he would go back in a few days.

"I'll find a hotel near the company to stay in." He Junyi thought up a countermeasure on the way, "Thank you for coming to pick me up, but it's almost nine o'clock now, and it should be 09:30 when we arrive in the city." , you just call back, right?"

"Actually..." Lin Minming whispered, "I told my family about you, and my mother invited you to our house for dinner..."

He Junyi raised his eyebrows: "Come to your house for dinner?"

Lin Minming blushed: "You can live here if you want, I have a guest room. I mean...you didn't stay here for a few days anyway."

He Junyi smiled slightly. It seems that this little kid has really changed a lot in the past year, and he has learned to invite friends to play at home, which was something he never dared to think about before.

Anyway, this is a good sign.

Seeing him smile, Lin Minming followed suit with a relaxed expression: "Actually, it's my mother. She always said that I don't have any friends, so I just want to invite you and Xinxin to my house for dinner. But Xinxin can't come out recently. .”

He Junyi looked at him, pretended to be serious and said: "I have high requirements for food."

"I know." Lin Minming showed his dimples, "So I will cook myself."

The taxi went all the way to the downstairs of Lin Minming's house.

When getting off the car, He Junyi paid the fare, and Lin Minming went to the trunk first to lift out the suitcase. To be honest, this was the first time in two lifetimes that a friend was invited to live at home.

Especially since this friend still knows his secret.

Lin Minming secretly glanced at He Junyi in the passenger seat, saying that he was not nervous would be a lie, but he couldn't control the joy in his heart.In the past year, because he participated in the project of the fruit and vegetable supermarket, he took care of both the school and the company. Obviously he should be very tired, but he has become more and more fulfilled.

Sometimes, in order to obtain more data, Ma Rui would take him on field trips during weekends, and Zheng Kailai occasionally accompanied him.Ma Rui is a very rigorous person, but Zheng Kailai is very out of tune.

The boss of Tangtang company always looks like a fool. Compared with Ma Rui, he looks like a driver, not the boss template in Lin Minming's concept at all.

It's no wonder that in his previous life, He Junyi had an indisputable expression when he mentioned this partner.

But Zheng Kailai is very good at dealing with interpersonal relationships. When they first met the people in the planting base, neither Ma Rui nor Lin Minming could quickly find a way to communicate with the locals, but Zheng Kailai squatted on the ridge of the field and chatted with the villagers Come.

By the time Ma Rui and the others came out of the village committee office, Zheng Kailai had already gotten along with many villagers, and learned about the local products grown by their families. He was eating freshly cooked tender corn in his hand...

These new people and new things that overturned Lin Minming's old ideas opened the door to a new world for him.

In the past, Lin Minming always liked to shrink himself and protect himself in a small area, which made him feel safer.He doesn't know friends *, no matter the same sex or the opposite sex, they can't attract his attention.

Rather than being unable to attract, it's more like being afraid of being attracted.

He was afraid that one day the secret of his orientation would be exposed to the sun. At that time, he couldn't imagine how he would face his family and friends... If he was destined to lose, it would be better to choose not to from the beginning.

He didn't change this idea even after he was reborn.

Hiding seems to be the common desire of minority-oriented people. Only a few brave and lucky people among them will really face themselves and face society.

Like Zheng Kailai.

He liked Ma Rui, and it was so obvious that even Lin Minming could see what he meant.Although Ma Rui was completely indifferent, Zheng Kailai didn't feel frustrated at all.

Lin Minming once heard Ma Rui's righteous rejection of Zheng Kailai. He didn't deny his sexual orientation, but said: "I don't like your type."

Zheng Kailai shrugged with a smile as usual: "But you can't stop me from liking you."

Marie: "..."

Their lives are casual and calm, you have your splendor and I have my persistence.

Lin Minming really felt their freedom.

But more importantly, He Junyi's "confession" before going abroad benefited him a lot.He once devoted himself to study, design work, and public welfare. When he was really lonely and tired, he looked up at the magnificent starry sky in the lonely dark night, imagining that he was just a particle of the magnificent and distant universe, and seeking comfort that everything didn't matter.

He still had the same vision, but He Junyi brought him a new perspective.

Compared with the bright moon and the black hole of the nebula, human life is like a flash in the pan, and troubles and entanglements are not worth mentioning in front of this vast realm.

Just be yourself frankly.

Maybe homosexuality is not unforgivable?

During this year, he forced himself to stretch out his tentacles, consciously contacted more people, and gradually had different considerations in his heart.He was so busy that he no longer stayed alone in the room to meditate for a long time. He raised his head to meet people's eyes, listened to others' opinions, and then spoke his own.

After letting go of my heart, my life has also changed.

The sky is bluer, the water is clearer, and the schoolmates are more friendly.Lin Minming gradually walked out of his own small world. He didn't have more friends, but he became more cheerful.

And every time there was a slight change, Lin Minming could feel that He Junyi was never far away.Thousands of mountains and rivers separated him, even if he just contacted by email, even if all the content was only related to work, as long as he received He Junyi's reply, he would feel very happy...

He couldn't help thinking of countless times, his smile and every word he said before parting.

Feelings may be just a kind of life experience, but he has never let go of the restrictions on himself like this, to miss a person.

When he realized that he was missing He Junyi, he couldn't help being stunned for a long time.

When we met each other often, I didn't realize how different this person was. During the more than a year of separation, I kept reviewing his every frown and smile in my mind and dreams.

Maybe it was the hint of "he might like me", even if he was far away, he still felt a faint throbbing.However, after such a long time, the other party did not make any further comments. Lin Minming knew very well that maybe there would be no more in his lifetime.

After all, He Junyi is such an excellent existence, even if he also likes men, he will definitely not lack admirers.Although his "like" is beautiful, it is likely to be extremely short-lived.

He didn't want or want to dwell on it.If everyone is a grain of sand in the universe, and will eventually return to dust, then gently infiltrate into his life, be his friend and companion, be the person he "liked" once, let yourself This path that should have been lonely and sad has become regretless, perhaps the greatest happiness of his rebirth.

From then on, besides helping his best friend avoid the fate of being deceived, he has a new meaning in life.

Silently looked at this person.

……

After He Junyi paid the fare, he got off the car and saw Lin Minming struggling to lift out his big suitcase from the trunk. He hurried over to help him: "This is too heavy, just let me do it myself!"

Lin Minming was dissatisfied: "I can do it! Now I exercise every day, and I won't be out of breath after running for a few steps!"

He Junyi couldn't help laughing, and rubbed his head: "Okay, let's make gestures later."

"Okay."

"But don't you want to cook?"

"...Then after dinner!"

He Junyi looked up at the sky in embarrassment: "Are you sure there is still time to make dinner?"

Lin Minming felt embarrassed: "...Supper?"

Of course, I didn't eat until almost ten o'clock, so it could only be a midnight snack.

He Junyi rested at Lin's house for one night, and went out for a run alone early the next morning and brought back a table of breakfast for Lin's family.There are more than a dozen plates, ranging from soybean brain, soy milk to all kinds of steamed buns, steamed buns and glutinous rice, almost everything you need.

When Lin's parents saw it when they got up, they were shocked.

In fact, it was the first time for He Junyi to go back to a friend's house to eat and drink for nothing. The little brat made him a delicious meal last night. After staying abroad for so long, he almost bit off his tongue after eating such delicious and authentic Chinese food.

Can't help but admire secretly, this guy's craftsmanship is getting more and more exquisite.

When I wake up in the morning, I always feel embarrassed not to buy something as a thank-you gift. Fortunately, when I passed the breakfast stall, I had a flash of inspiration.

Today is the weekend, Lin Minming got up a little later than usual, plus he didn't clean up the kitchen until 11:30 last night, and helped He Junyi make the bed and pack his luggage. By the way, he talked for a while about the preparations for the fruit and vegetable supermarket. Before he knew it, it was early morning .

By the time he fell asleep in a happy and excited mood, it was dawn.

......

He walked out of the bedroom yawning, and the whole house was quiet.Look up at the clock hanging on the wall, ten o'clock!Parents must have already gone out. The weekend is a fixed time for Lin's parents to visit their grandparents. No wonder there is no one in the living room.

It was agreed yesterday that Lin Minming will stay at home and be in charge of entertaining He Junyi.But what about He Junyi?Should not go back.

Lin Minming probed into the guest bedroom, but the luggage was still there, so he probably went down to get some air.He hurried to the bathroom to freshen up, changed into his pajamas, grabbed a bun on the table, and hurried out to find someone.

In the small open space downstairs, a tall figure was dribbling a ball.

Whenever the man leaps up to shoot the basket, the basketball draws an arc and hits the basket, and people around him applaud.Those are children from the neighborhood, and they often gather here to play ball and entertain themselves.

But it's rare to meet a big brother with very good skills today.The kids are super excited, every goal makes them cheer.

Lin Minming went downstairs for a walk, and finally found someone here, so he was not in a hurry.

He took a bite of the steamed stuffed bun, and sat down on a stone pier beside the open space.I don’t know if it’s because of the old saying that “beauty is in the eye of the beholder”. Looking at He Junyi now, he can only feel his figure, his movements, even every step of taking off and shooting, and looking back at any moment when he sweats. Unbelievably charming.

The children screamed again, and He Junyi performed a three-step layup.

This movement is the most superficial, almost everyone who plays basketball knows it, but He Junyi does it very well.Lin Minming stuffed the whole bun into his mouth and couldn't help clapping.

He Junyi turned his head when he heard the sound, saw the young man sitting on the stone pier, and smiled.The short-sleeved T-shirt on his body was already soaked, but he didn't care at all. He washed his hands under the faucet by the side of the open space, rubbed his face by the way, his head was full of water drops, and walked towards Lin Minming.

"How about playing a round?"
