Borrowing a Kiss

Liang Muqiu looked up at his teacher, as if he wanted to say something, but he hesitated.

Rowan smiled at him and patted his head.

"You are luckier than the teacher, and you can still find someone you are willing to be with," Luo Wen said in a gentle voice. "Teacher, I loved many people when I was young, and the reasons for breaking up are also various. In the end, I found that I am still comfortable alone."

He thought for a while, and then said, "People grow very fast. When you live to my age, you will find youthful spirit. Temporary love and hatred are not very important. The most important thing is to let yourself not regret it. As long as you are You can do whatever you don’t regret, such as opening a studio, or having a relationship.”

Liang Muqiu listened.

He smiled at Luo Wen. His father passed away early, and he grew up happily with his grandmother and mother. He never felt that he lacked anything.

But Luo Wen treated him like a teacher like a father.

He hadn't said a word of preference to him, but his behavior always said it.

He didn't know why his nose was sore, so he whispered, "I remember, thank you teacher."

Luo Wen patted him on the back, "Then let's go, don't delay, isn't there someone waiting?"

Liang Muqiu left Luo Wen's house.

As soon as the door of the courtyard was closed, the quiet courtyard and the warm lights were shut behind it.

But the flickering porch lamp under the door still dimly illuminates his way forward.

He drove home and put all the books the teacher gave him just now in the study.

And when he put the book away, he stepped out of the house again, walked through a short corridor, and knocked on Cen Nan's door.

After three beeps, the door opened with a creak. Cen Nan saw that he had just come from the kitchen, and appeared behind the door in home clothes. When he saw him, his cold face immediately laughed, "Are you back?"

Liang Muqiu also smiled unconsciously, "Well, I'm back."

After dinner, Liang Muqiu was pestered by Cen Nan a few times, and then fell asleep with him.

Because he occasionally stays overnight, Cen Nan has a full set of his supplies here.

Even the pajamas are for couples.

The next day, Liang Muqiu went out to talk about work with someone, and talked a lot about things, but he forgot that today is June [-]st, and he couldn't think of any gifts or not.

It wasn't until he and his partner came out of the cafe and received a call from Cen Nan that he remembered such a thing.

He had already said goodbye to his partner, stood on the side of the road, looked down at his watch, and said directly, "Then you come and pick me up, I'm at Zhihe Street, near the intersection, there's a cafe, I'll be there door."

Cen Nan drove out early in the morning, knowing that he was here to discuss business with someone, so he specially parked in a nearby parking lot to wait, and soon drove up to Liang Muqiu.

Liang Muqiu got into the car and laughed at him when he was buckling up the seat belt, "What are you doing, why are you so secretive?"

He was curious when he got off the plane, and after talking about his work for a day, his mind was completely occupied by projects, and he didn't have the energy to think about other things.

He was still texting people on WeChat while driving.

But if he pays attention, he will find that Cen Nan's profile is rarely tense.

When passing through a block, Cen Nan asked Liang Muqiu in a low voice, "The work is over, you should have no other arrangements. May I take you somewhere?"

Liang Muqiu nodded casually, depending on his arrangement, "I'm fine."

This is promised.

Cen Nan glanced at Liang Muqiu from the corner of his eye. Liang Muqiu was wearing a linen top and white loose trousers today. He was comfortable and gentle, with a kind and harmless aura.

But looking at Liang Muqiu like this, he suddenly felt nervous about facing the life test papers. He has always been considered calm and unhurried, and he will not change his face when the sky falls.

But in the evening, driving his beloved to a distant place, he is like a student who has been absent from class for a long time, and is worried for the first time that he will fail his exam paper.

Liang Muqiu didn't realize where the car was going at first.

After he finished sending WeChat with someone, he raised his head from his mobile phone, scanned the two sides, and found that the scenery on both sides of the road became more and more familiar, and he was passing a ginkgo forest.

Looking at the shops in the ginkgo grove, the garden at the corner of the street, and the looming school back door, he finally realized that something was wrong.

He turned around abruptly, "Where are you taking me?"

He didn't pay attention to what Cen Nan said just now, he only thought that Cen Nan was going to the mall.But now the scenery outside the window is obviously a place that he hasn't set foot in for a long time.

Cen Nan pursed his lower lip, not knowing how to answer this question.

Because the answer is clearly too shallow.

He honked the horn, signaled the car in front to give way, and then whispered, "Didn't you already recognize it?"

He parked the car firmly in the parking space, and not far from the parking space was an old apartment building. There was a convenience store on the left of the apartment building, which had been open for so many years.

There are a lot of students living in this area, and it is the time when classes are over. Young boys and girls pass by their car holding hands. They are all in their twenties, cheerful and bright.

How could Liang Muqiu not recognize where this is.

Yulan Apartment, where he and Cen Nan lived for two years, is also the first "home" for him and Cen Nan.

He used to complain about the vulgarity of this name, saying it was either flowers or grass, and the interior decoration and management were all safe and sound. The baked buns in the convenience store downstairs were also delicious, which calmed his little dissatisfaction.

After Cen Nan left, he has been living here for several years without changing his address. He said that he was used to living here and was too lazy to move, but he knew exactly why.

He was afraid that Cen Nan would not find him when he came back.

But he waited for a long time, but Cen Nan didn't come back.

He resigned to his fate, moved out, and never returned to this place. Occasionally, he drove past here, and would deliberately not look at it. If he didn’t think about it, it wouldn’t hurt, and he could act as if nothing happened.

But now Cen Nan brought him here again.

He looked up at the apartment not far away, and asked Cen Nan, "Why did you bring me here?"

Cen Nan didn't answer, but unfastened his seat belt, got out of the car again, went around to the other side, and opened the car door for him.

"Let's talk after getting out of the car." Cen Nan stretched out his hand to him, as if to invite him to a dinner party.

Liang Muqiu didn't really want to come down.

He thinks he is tolerant and open-minded. He loves Cen Nan very frankly. The past seven years are really deep in his heart, but he doesn't want to worry about it all the time. together.

But now, revisiting the old place like this seems to have brought back the old wounds in his heart. Before he got close, his heart ached.

But Cen Nan stretched out his hand stubbornly, his palm was white and clean, and his tone was almost begging, "Can you come down first?"

Liang Muqiu thought about it, put his hand on it, and got off the car.

The Yulan apartment has not changed much, and it is no different from when he moved out two years ago, even the security guard downstairs is the same.

After entering the elevator, there are mirrors on three sides of the elevator, reflecting two unpredictable faces.

Liang Muqiu looked at himself in the mirror.

When he and Cen Nan lived here, there were no mirrors in the elevator, and young people were always caught off guard when they had sex with each other. They wanted to kiss and hug each other if they disagreed. That is to say, there was surveillance in the elevator, so they didn’t dare to make trouble. Excessive, but he often fell into Cen Nan's arms leaning on him.

But now they are standing here together, but they are two silent adults. No matter how young they look, they are completely different people under the skin.

The elevator stopped on the seventh floor.

Liang Muqiu was not surprised at all, he and Cen Nan lived in 706 back then.

The elevator door opened, and the two of them walked out together. There were white lights in the corridor. After walking a few steps, they arrived at the door of the apartment.

From the moment he saw the house number, Liang Muqiu's heartbeat was not as fast as his own.

No matter how much he pretended not to care about the past, it was also a lie, just behind this door, he spent a lot of good time with Cen Nan.

Except for himself, no one knew how much he loved Cen Nan.

But he was also here when he received a call from Cen Nan to break up with him.

He couldn't help the soreness in his eye sockets, he was about to shed tears, he turned his head away hastily, and held it back for a while.

"Why did you bring me here?" He couldn't help blaming Cen Nan in a low voice, "You didn't pick a better place to visit the old place again."

But he got no answer.

Turning his head again, he found that Cen Nan's face seemed to be paler than his, his eyes were like a gloomy lake, and his grief was unspeakable.

Cen Nan subconsciously smiled at him, but the smile was not good-looking, "I often dream of this place when I am abroad, and I dream that I still live in this apartment with you. In the morning I will buy you bean curd and fried dough sticks, Go to Maodou with you, and you don’t allow me to make noise at home during the final exam week, and throw things at me if it interferes with your review.”

Cen Nan stopped here.

The muscles on his face seemed to twitch, and he clenched his teeth so as not to reveal his emotions.

But his voice still trembled imperceptibly, "I have so many dreams that I can hardly tell which is reality. But my house in Chicago is nothing like this. all different."

There is nothing special about this apartment near the school. In this bustling city, it is so ordinary that you can see it everywhere.

But here lives his sweetheart.

The lover he left behind.

Cen Nan was silent for a while, the corridor was almost dead silent, only the heavy breathing of the two could be heard.

Cen Nan stretched out his other hand clenched into a fist in front of Liang Muqiu, and spread it out, holding a key in his palm.

The bronze key was clasped with a fluffy corgi buttock, which was totally out of tune with Cen Nan's temperament.

Liang Muqiu felt his nose sore just by looking at it.

That keychain was the one he forced Cen Nan to put on.

Seven years later, the city has changed beyond recognition. This ridiculous keychain followed Cen Nan across the ocean, and how many places he went to, it was still well preserved.

But the most ridiculous thing is not this.

The funny thing is that he also has a pendant that is exactly the same, and it is placed in the storage box of his house. In the past seven years, he has tried to throw it away countless times, but he still can't do it.

So no one understands better than him, what kind of emotion do people take care of even these small things.

Liang Muqiu tilted his head, not wanting Cen Nan to see his red eyes.

He really didn't understand, how could a person who still kept his ridiculously cheap keychains leave him behind for seven years?

He heard that Cen Nan's voice had lost his usual demeanor, he was no longer calm, he was no longer calm in the face of danger, as if he had changed back to the boy he was before.

Cen Nan asked tremblingly, "Qiuqiu, can you go home with me?"

Liang Muqiu's eyes blinked, but a tear still rolled down from his cheek, scorching hot.

The next chapter will open some memories of seven years to kill~
