Xia Lusheng also listened to Zhou Duye's words at night, and would feel happy, but he only listened to it.

The next morning, the sun was already setting in the east, Xia Lusheng rode his bicycle to the video store and took Uncle Xiong home.Back at the hotel, after parking the bicycle, he looked up and saw Zhou Duye holding a cup of coffee, he didn't know how long he had been looking at him.

The sky was a light blue that was about to burn to become clear and bright, and there was a hint of moisture in the air. Xia Lusheng ran to Zhou Duye's side in two steps at a time, and said proactively, "Morning, brother."

Zhou Duye glanced at his shoes, looked at him with heavy eyes and said, "Does your foot hurt anymore?"

Xia Lusheng's eyes lit up, he nodded vigorously, and said to Zhou Duye with a smile, "It's much better, thank you brother."

"Hmm..." Zhou Duye finished the coffee, casually held the cup with one hand, suddenly bent down, and leaned close to Xia Lusheng's face.This distance is just right, the breathing won't be intertwined, Zhou Duye can still put Xia Lusheng's face in his eyes, and it won't make Xia Lusheng feel shy and unnatural.

He got up quickly, and lightly tapped Xia Lusheng's eyelids with his index finger, making Xia Lusheng's eyes half-closed, "It's still a little swollen here."

Xia Lusheng shook his head and said, "It's okay." He put his palms together and begged, "Brother, you should forget what happened last night!"

Zhou Duye said, "Oh." He turned and walked back, "I made a sandwich, let's have some."

Xia Lusheng naturally wanted to keep up with him.

I don't know what's different, Zhou Duye didn't do anything during the meal, he just sat opposite Xia Lusheng and watched him eat.

It was still silent, but after Xia Lusheng finished eating the chicken salad sandwich, Zhou Duye quietly poured out a glass of milk and put it by his hand, and even stretched out his hand to let him continue.

Xia Lusheng didn't know what was going on, so he took a sip of milk with his cup in his hand, and secretly glanced at him under the cover of the milk cup.

After he peeked at it five or six times, Zhou Duye asked him helplessly, "What's the matter?"

Xia Lusheng looked at him and nodded lightly, then said, "You are a little different today."

Zhou Duye laughed and said, "What's the difference?"

"I don't know." Xia Lusheng said cautiously, "Are you going to tell me your special identity?"

Zhou Duye raised his eyebrows, as if he no longer disliked him mentioning this today, "Why do you think I have a special status?"

Xia Lusheng was stunned, "You know the princess, and she even took the initiative to find you..."

"Gu Tu said, my profession is a photographer?"

Xia Lusheng nodded, "Yes."

Zhou Duye nodded thoughtfully, "It's true in some respects. But she may not know much about it, so she just talked casually to coax you."

To be so frank, Xia Lusheng couldn't believe it, "Then are you willing to tell me?"

Zhou Duye didn't speak for a long while, unconsciously tapped his index finger on the table a few times, and then said softly to Xia Lusheng, "It's okay to tell you."

Xia Lusheng finished his milk, as if he didn't hear what he said, he lowered his eyes to look at the texture on the table and said to himself, "Actually... the identity of the princess really cannot be revealed casually."

"Then you care if I'm a photographer?"

Xia Lusheng quickly waved his hand, and whispered, "I just want to know you a little more..." He felt it was a bit too much when he said it, but he couldn't refute his heart, he just wanted to say it so straightforwardly.

Zhou Duye didn't seem to notice what he said, and just said, "After washing the cups, follow me upstairs."

His heart beat violently because of these words, Xia Lusheng suppressed his excitement and said, "Okay."

Zhou Duye's room was on the third floor, opposite the screening room.Xia Lusheng didn't know at first that Zhou Duye wanted to take him to his room, and he didn't realize until he reached the door. "Brother, is this where you live?"

Zhou Duye said, "Yes."

Xia Lusheng paused, a little hesitant.If you just want him to really get to know Zhou Duye, there's no need to go to his room, or even his bedroom.Because this is a very personal place.It is a place he dare not set foot in.

Zhou Duye said to him, "Do you want to go in?"

But it's all here, Xia Lusheng said, "Yeah!"

After entering the door, Xia Lusheng understood Zhou Duye's intentions.

Zhou Duye's room was larger than Xia Lusheng's, but it looked full and crowded. One wall was filled with bookshelves, and the other wall was a workbench. Through the thin sunlight, Xia Lusheng saw a picture on the table. A hand-drawn world map, a hand-drawn drawing of a dinosaur skeleton, a stone under a microscope, a knife, a magnifying glass, and other tools that he can't understand.Finally, there was the mattress on the floor, and the gray-black pillows and quilts were neatly folded.

Xia Lusheng looked at Zhou Duye in a daze, eager to get an answer.

Zhou Duye rubbed his hair and said, "My job is mainly to study ancient vertebrates, that is, ancient creatures such as dinosaurs, mammoths, and Archaeopteryx." He touched the plaster on his cheek, "The last time I was injured , just because I went to work in the field and fell off the rock formation."

He sat down by the bed, patted the seat beside him and said to Xia Lusheng, "Come and sit."

Xia Lusheng sat next to Zhou Duye in an obedient manner.

Zhou Duye said, "I'm just a very ordinary paleontological researcher. I'm 12 years older than you. Strictly speaking, you should call me uncle, not brother."

"Can't you call me brother?" The light in Xia Lusheng's eyes fluctuated and sank, and he only felt that "brother" made the distance between them not so far.

Zhou Duye was silent for a while and said, "Well... this is up to you."

Xia Lusheng continued, "I went to the museum to see dinosaur fossils."

Zhou Duye said, "Is it the Natural History Museum in Mangcheng?"

"Ah."

Zhou Duye smiled slightly at Xia Lusheng and said, "I'll tell you so much for now, why did Gu Tu come to me, let's chat next time we have a chance."

Xia Lu was stunned for a moment, almost unable to choose what to say, "No need, actually, I know enough, I am already very satisfied."

Zhou Duye looked at him for a while, then raised his hand to touch Xia Lusheng's red and swollen eyelids, and asked softly, "Satisfied?"

Xia Lusheng was stunned, his eyelids were sore and itchy, but when he touched him, he felt a tingling sensation from the eyelids to his fingertips.The room was dimly lit, he saw the seriousness in Zhou Duye's eyes, his face flushed, and he hummed in a low voice.

"Then can we exchange?" Zhou Duye said flatly.

Xia Lusheng raised his eyes and asked him suspiciously, "In exchange for what?"

Zhou Duye slid his fingers from Xia Lusheng's eyelids to the back of his neck, pressed firmly and said, "Tell me why you cried yesterday."

Zhou Duye put a kind of pressure on Xia Lusheng. Xia Lusheng opened his eyes and saw Zhou Duye's serious expression clearly. He knew that Zhou Duye was caring about him, knew that he could win Zhou Duye's sympathy, and knew that Zhou Duye might hate him.

He shook his head and said, "I don't want to say it."

Zhou Duye's tone quickly became indifferent, he said, "Can you solve it yourself?"

"It's not a big deal, of course I can." Xia Lusheng didn't look at him, trying to stay calm.

Zhou Duye said, "Oh. You go out."
