After playing for more than an hour, Wu Lang slumped on a chair by the side of the field, pouring water into his mouth.

He rushed to Ning Hai on the other side of the net, waved his hand and said

"Take a rest."

Ning Hai put down the racket in his hand, walked across the net and sat down beside him.

Wu Lang turned to look at him quietly.Ning Hai is a man of average appearance, he is almost ageless, the years have left traces of elegance on his spiritual appearance, his casual smile always makes people's hearts move unconsciously.

He made Wu Lang envious.

"Mr. Ning, your physical strength is better than mine." Wu Lang said

"That's because you sit too much in the research room." Ning Hai replied disapprovingly

"Aren't you also sitting in the office?"

Ning Hai looked at him sideways, "I stand more than I sit."

Wu Lang shrugged and said

"Ok."

Ning Hai patted him on the back

"Let's go to eat, not at the club today, I will take you to a beautiful place."

Wu Lang asks with a straw in a lemon cup

"I won't go if I'm far away. I'm going back to the academy at night. The tutor is still waiting for me to send him a report."

"You always listen to your mentor."

"Because he is my teacher."

"I am also your teacher, you go to dinner with me first."

Wu Lang looked up at him, Ning Hai used to take good care of him when he spoke, but today he seemed a bit tough.

"No, he is my mentor, you just..." Suddenly he felt that it was inappropriate to say this, so he buried his head in drinking water again.

"It seems that Professor Li's position in your heart is unshakable. In order to send him a report, you are not even willing to accompany me to have a meal."

"I said it because he is my mentor."

Ning Hai suddenly stood up and stood in front of Wu Lang.

Wu Lang suddenly felt his nose hurt, and Ning Hai actually pinched his nose.

"You little guy with an Electra complex."

Wu Lang got angry, he pushed Ning Hai's hand away and said

"What, you talk nonsense and I'll go back."

Ning Hai followed his movements and took a step back.

"You are! If you don't go with me, I'll call Li Ai and beg him personally to let you postpone the report, okay?"

Ning Haibai walked back to the net and picked up his tennis racket, saying,

Wu Lang hurriedly jumped up from the chair, chased him and said:

"Don't fight, I'll go with you."

After hearing this, Ning Hai looked back at him and smiled meaningfully.Turning around and gently reaching out to pat the side of his face and saying

"And said no, you are so scruples about his ideas."

Wu Lang nervously pushed his hand away, Ning Hai patted his hand very lightly, usually when classmates joked about touching each other like this, but today Wu Lang felt that this slap made his whole body feel wrong.Ning Hai's hands felt different from those of those classmates.

"You find this disgusting?"

Wu Lang hesitated to speak, and finally said slowly

"It's not disgusting, but it feels a little strange. You...why do you insist that I have a father-in-law complex?"

Suddenly, someone at the tennis court called Ning Hai, interrupting their conversation.

"Boss, the car is ready."

Ning Hai turned around and smiled at Wu Lang, he said

"You want to know? Go to dinner first, and then I'll tell you."

Wu Lang just nodded ignorantly.

Ning Hai didn't drive by himself, he handed over the car to his driver, and he sat in the back seat with Wu Lang.

The scenery outside the car window gradually became secluded. They walked around a section of lush and beautiful road to the coast. The road slowly climbed up a low hillside by the sea in a bay. Behind the shadows of the black trees on the hill came a little The shimmer is like a sea of ​​stars floating in mid-air.

Wu Lang opened the rear window to let in the fishy sea breeze. The purple and orange light on the sea level hadn't faded away. Wu Lang stared blankly, somewhat lost in thought.

"Do you like looking at the sea?" Ning Hai sat beside him and asked

"I like it, but I have never been here before, and this is the first time I have seen such a beautiful bay."

"You can come here often in the future. The place where we eat is facing the bay. You can see enough in a while."

Wu Lang snorted softly, still staring at the beautiful scenery outside the window.

Before coming here to study, Wu Lang had never seen the sea, but now every time he sees it, he will be overwhelmed by this majestic and magnificent scene.

From a distance, this boundless expanse seems to be able to swallow all the hustle and bustle of the world, so peaceful.

The car drove along the bay not long before entering a resort-like hotel in the middle of the mountain.This should be the sea of ​​stars they saw at the foot of the mountain just now.

As Ning Hai said, this place is an absolute highland, and the wide sea level can be seen more clearly from here.

They were taken into a suite facing the sea. Outside the spacious dining room of about forty square meters there was a large terrace with a view of the sea.

The table has been set, a bottle of champagne is being chilled in the barrel, and a red candle is placed on the table.

Wu Lang was ushered into the room by the waiter, and he stood on the side of the terrace, looking at the sea level.

Ning Hai waved the waiter to leave, walked over to wrap his arm around him, led him to the table, and opened the chair for him.

Wu Lang first sat down in a daze, but the moment Ning Hai saw him sat down and helped him push the chair in time, he stood up abruptly.

He doesn't understand the rich people's entertainment, but at least he understands that this meal is carefully prepared.

It's so elaborate that it's scary.

"Mr. Ning, what are you going to do?"

Ning Hai stood behind him, gradually smiling

"When you are nervous, you will call me 'Mr. Ning'. Don't worry, I don't want you to do anything, let alone force you to do anything. I just want to have dinner with you. You can understand this as... I am trying to please you."

"why?"

Ning Hai smiled, he gently spread his hands and said

"I thought I had made it obvious that I have been pursuing you and finding various excuses to get close to you."

Wu Lang was stunned for a moment, he stared blankly at Ning Hai, unable to say a word.

He didn't know how he felt in his heart, maybe he was surprised, maybe he had doubts, maybe he was afraid, maybe he was a little flattered.Ning Hai is a well-known golden bachelor. Since his divorce three years ago, no woman has ever captured him.

But today he confessed.

"Sorry, I don't like men."

Wu Lang felt that his hands were shaking, so he quickly put his hands back under the table and hid them, fearing that Ning Hai would find out.

Ning Hai had already slowly opened the champagne, the cork made a crisp sound, and delicate bubbles began to overflow along the dark green bottle mouth.

He took a champagne glass, slowly poured champagne along the glass wall, and then pushed it in front of Wu Lang.

"Try it. This champagne is made in Germany. Not many people drink it, but I like it very much."

Wu Lang realized that his refusal was completely ignored, so he raised his voice and said it again

"I don't like men, sorry."

Ning Hai continued to pour the second glass of champagne without looking up.

"I hear you, but you like your mentor, right? You might classify that feeling as 'respect,' but that's your own little lie."

Wu Lang took a sip of champagne, avoiding his eyes

He didn't expect that his feelings for Li Ai would be so obvious, and the feeling of being exposed naked for the first time would be so embarrassing.He suddenly felt a little dirty.

Ning Hai sat at the other end of the table and watched him quietly,

"It's human nature, don't feel dirty."

He stood up and walked behind Wu Lang, pressed his shoulders and whispered in his ear

"You can exchange your Electra complex for a projector and treat me as him."

Wu Lang struggled to let go of his hand, and asked him

"I don't have an Electra complex.

Ning Hai withdrew his hand, turned his head and looked at the sea level with him

"You want to please your mentor, just like a person wants to please his father. People think you are precocious so you like to mingle with older people. In fact, you are not attracted to such mature people because you are precocious. On the contrary, you Simpler than many people, so people who subconsciously seek the role of a father to protect themselves from this complex society. Resistance to patriarchy is the only way for a boy to become a man, but you have not gone through it yet, You've always been so obedient, but maybe I can let you go once.

"

Wu Lang suddenly felt the embarrassment of being punctured,

"Mr. Ning, you know more than I do, but these truths are not what you say. No one has ever thought that I am naive and simple. We have only known each other for four months. You are completely guessing."

Ning Hai suddenly grabbed him.

"If you think I'm guessing nonsense, then I'm guessing nonsense. It's okay. Can you sit down and eat? I ordered foie gras. I remember you said you like foie gras."

Wu Lang suddenly felt like he had hit a sponge with his fist.

Ning Hai sat back in his seat, then pressed the service bell, and soon, waiters began to serve them food.

Wu Lang gradually discovered that these dishes had also been carefully selected, and they were all his favorites.

He's bored, tired of this care

Ning Hai has always taken good care of him, even from the topic of chatting.When the two of them were alone, Ning Hai never told him what happened in the company, how much business he had done, or what amazing people he had met, but he would often be surprised by what Wu Lang said, as if He really doesn't know what a rope tennis is, the same as eating a roadside barbecue.Even the fried banana balls in the school cafeteria, Ning Hai would say - I have never eaten fried banana balls, I will order one at noon next time I come to teach you guys.

Wu Lang felt that these were all intentionally said by Ning Hai.

He picks up a knife and fork and flips through the delicately arranged plates. He doesn't want to eat the things he usually likes to eat, as if he wants to prove to Ning Hai that his self-righteous guesses are all wrong.

Wu Lang didn't eat anything. This seemingly luxurious dinner ended hastily in an atmosphere that was not elegant at all.

"I want to go back."

He dropped his napkin and got up to leave.

Ning Hai strode over to grab him, and suddenly hugged him.

"What are you doing! You are disgusting!"

Ning Hai smiled, he hugged Wu Lang's shoulder tightly, and then gently kissed the side of his face.

"You finally said it out, do you think it's disgusting? Real men are scary, so am I, and so is Li Ai. We are all burning desires with a shell, but you only want to see the shell, you only want to see the shell. Accepting the care of a mature man, you will run away when your essential desires are revealed. Wu Lang, if you don’t want to admit that you face up to this desire, you will only grow up forever.”

Wu Hai pushed him away violently after hearing this, Ning Hai took two steps back and let him go.

They confronted each other for a while, Ning Hai suddenly turned around, walked back to the dining table and pressed the service bell again, his calmness was as if nothing had happened.

"I can't see you off today, I drank alcohol, let the driver take you back."

Wu Lang looked at him, and finally couldn't help but ask

"What about you?"

"I won't ride with you, I want to be here."
