your voice is delicious

Darren is British, nearly 190cm tall, with blond hair and blue eyes that stand out in the crowd.

As soon as Tang Tang arrived at the agreed shopping mall, he saw his former friends at a glance.

"Darren." He smiled and stepped forward.

"Oh, mybabyCandy~" Darren opened his hands and hugged Tang Tang into his arms. Just when he wanted to bow his head and kiss the cheek of the person in his arms, Tang Tang swiftly avoided him.

"Darren, the Chinese don't like this."

The tall man shrugged and let go of the man in his arms.

Then he asked in awkward Chinese: "Chinese New Year, don't you go home?"

Tang Tang smiled bitterly and pulled the corner of his mouth, "It's hard to say."

After graduating from University, Darren did not return to the UK, but continued to study Chinese in the United States for half a year. This time he will study in China for half a year. He will officially enter X University as a graduate student in September this year.

Because the preparatory class starts in March, he has to prepare some personal items and bring them to school in advance.

Tang Tang led the man to the supermarket on the first floor to do some shopping, and then they went to the food court on the fifth floor of the mall with big bags and small bags to have lunch together.

While eating, he couldn't help thinking about what his brother would have for lunch today.

All the high schools in City X are in the winter vacation, presumably Mu Linshen's school cafeteria is also closed.

How about looking for a house to move out recently, so that my brother can come back and live.

Tang Tang: "Hey."

Thinking of his current relationship with Mu Linshen, he couldn't help but sigh.

"Candy, are you unhappy?" Darren asked.

Tang Tang shook his head, and then learned from the man opposite, "Darren, if two people obviously like each other, but one of them wants to push the other away, what should I do?"

Darren frowned and said, "I don't understand."

Tang Tang laughed, and translated it in English again. Who would have thought that the man on the opposite side would frown even deeper after hearing this.

"Candy, are you talking about that Mu?" Tang Tang told Darren about his relationship with Mu Linshen when he was studying in the United States.

Tang Tang nodded, "Yes, he is also in City X, our current relationship... is a bit unclear."

Then he told Darren everything that happened with his brother after he came to X City.

Darren is gay, but also a good emotional consultant, he wants the other party to advise him.

After hearing this, the man pretended to be angry and said: "Candy, you are so cruel, you know that I like you too."

Tang Tang: "But I also know that you are not the one who hanged on a tree."

When he was in the United States, Darren expressed his love to Tang Tang. The other party confessed to the same sex so directly, which was a super shocking thing for Tang Tang who had just left the country.

He rejected Darren, and the reason at the beginning was the lie of "I don't like men".

Darren was not sad after being rejected, but instead said, "It's okay, I appreciate you very much, we can be friends."

At first Tang Tang still resisted and deliberately avoided Darren, but the two were classmates after all, and they couldn't hide when they looked down and didn't see each other when they looked up.

After getting along with each other, Tang Tang found that Darren, as he said, really wanted to be friends with himself, and had no other intentions.

Darren is direct and free and easy in terms of emotions, but he is not like Tan Xiaoyu's deep cabinet, which brings pressure and fear to people.

Gradually, Tang Tang also opened up to Darren, saying that he is actually gay and the person he likes is in China.

"Candy, I think you're taking too much initiative." Darren put down his fork and said seriously.

"Active?" Tang Tang scooped up the soup in front of him with a spoon, and pondered: "I like him, shouldn't I take the initiative?"

Darren shook his head and said earnestly: "Love is about pushing and pulling. If one party is too active and the other party is too passive, then the relationship will be out of balance. If you express too much love, it will make the other party feel that you like whatever you do Him, so you will always be in a state of being chosen. So Candy, you must first learn the skills of falling in love."

The number of times Tang Tang has been in love is zero, and he doesn't quite understand these principles.

I had no choice but to wonder: "The liking between men... also requires skills?"

"Of course, love skills are gender-neutral. To chase the love you want, you have to use your brain first."

Tang Tang sighed, "It's so complicated."

He originally thought that as long as he always liked Mu Linshen, his brother would respond to him one day.

Through the song "Unequal People" that Mu Linshen sang to him last night, Tang Tang understood that his brother liked him.But the other party had a lot of concerns, and felt that it was inappropriate for them to be together, and the long-term pain was better than the short-term pain, so they chose to cut off this unclear relationship in the new year.

"Darren, what should I do?"

The man opposite smiled mysteriously: "It's very simple, learn not to hang yourself on a tree like me."

"This... I can't do it." He likes his brother so much, other people, no matter men or women, can't make Tang Tang fall in love again.

Darren shook his head and explained, "I mean, let's pretend you're going on a date."

"Pretending?" Tang Tang frowned.

"Yes, if that Mu like you said also likes you...how could he tolerate the person he likes dating other men?"

Tang Tang probably understands a little bit. What Darren means is that he can pretend to be dating someone else, so that his brother will be jealous after seeing it.

Sounds like it might work.

"Let me think about it... I have to find someone to help me act."

"Candy, the ready-made actors are here." Darren pointed at himself and said with a smirk.

Tang Tang joked: "You didn't come up with this ghost idea to satisfy your selfish desires, did you?"

He hadn't forgotten the fact that Darren liked him.

"Of course, I didn't help for nothing, I have to get something out of it."

"Candy, I want to date you, but the ultimate purpose of our pretend date is to make your Mu jealous. So in a sense, you are also using me."

"Everyone takes what they need, and it's enough to achieve the ultimate goal?"

"Let me think about it." Tang Tang bowed his head and drank a few mouthfuls of the soup. Although what Darren said had some truth, he didn't want to hurt his friend for his own selfish desires.

Even if Darren just wanted to date himself, he knew that the other party would not make excessive demands, but Tang Tang still felt it was wrong.

Dating someone you like is to help him get another man's attention. This method... seems to be very sad.

Darren smiled and said, "Anyway, I will be in City X from now on. If you want to find someone to act in a play, I will accompany you at any time."

Just when Tang Tang was still struggling, he didn't know that the photo of himself having lunch with Darren was uploaded to Mu Linshen's WeChat.

On the first day of the new year, Grandma Yao Lin insisted on going shopping in the city, but Yao Lin couldn't resist her, so she got up early in the morning and took the old man to the city by ferry.

Coincidentally, the mall they went to was the one where Tang Tang and Darren were located.

What's more unfortunate is that Yao Lin also found out that the two were having lunch together.

On the first day of the new year, most people choose to spend it with their families or their lovers. The foreigner obviously has no relationship with Tang Tang...

Yao Lin was shocked.

Tang Tang, this is... a cuckold for Brother Shen?

Yao Lin, who is a brain-filling type of two-faced brother, immediately took pictures of the "crime scene" and sent them to Mu Linshen.

"Brother Shen, you have been cheated!!!!!!!!!" So many exclamation marks can be seen the anger in his heart.

Soon, Yao Lin received a call from Mu Linshen.

"Where are you?" The man's voice was a little low.

Yao Lin hurriedly said: "I took my grandma to the mall, Brother Shen! Let me tell you that the behavior of those two people is too close, I will go! That foreigner even cut a steak for Tang Tang, and Tang Tang was talking and laughing with him. !"

"Brother Shen! Do you need my younger brother to go up and teach you a lesson against that foreigner? Although I may not be able to beat you with my small body, I can't be humiliated. We can't bear this kind of thing, Brother Shen!"

Mu Linshen: "..."

"Don't make trouble, take grandma and continue playing. I will go to the island to see you in a few days."

"You really don't need me to expose their evil deeds?" Yao Lin, who couldn't do anything, was a little disappointed, thinking why his brother Shen was so cowardly.

Although he can't fight alone, he can wait for Brother Shen to come, and the two of them will go up together to teach the foreigner a lesson that is still fresh in his memory.

"…Need not."

"Okay." Yao Lin was discouraged, "Then grandma and I will continue shopping at the mall."

"Well, happy new year."

After Yao Lin hung up the phone, he took another look at Tang Tang talking and laughing with the foreigner. Although he was unwilling, he took his grandma to continue shopping.

After all...he alone can't do the other side sincerely.

When Tang Tang and Darren's lunch was coming to an end, they suddenly received a call from Mu Linshen.

He froze for a moment when he saw the caller ID, then glanced at Darren across the way, for some reason... a little guilty?

Finally swallowed his saliva and connected the phone.

"Brother...Brother Shen?"

"Ah."

A moment of silence.

Mu Linshen: "I... I'm going back to get some things today, are you home?"

Tang Tang felt something was wrong, "Brother Shen, don't you have a key?"

He has a spare key in his hand, and it stands to reason that the other party should have a key in his hand.

Mu Linshen: "...the key is lost."

"Well...well, I'm eating, when are you going back?"

Tang Tang is going to go back and have a good talk with the other party first. If it is not possible, he will move back to the studio in the afternoon and let Mu Linshen move back to his home.

After all, it is not good for doves to occupy magpies' nests.

And it’s hard to find a house during the Chinese New Year, so let’s go back to the studio and sleep for a while.

The other party became silent again, Tang Tang asked strangely: "Brother Shen?"

"Are you... eating alone?"

Tang Tang froze for a moment, glanced at Darren, who was "scrambling his head and making a gesture" to hint at him, and hesitated: "No...not alone."

The other party's heavy breathing came from the receiver, and Tang Tang blinked.

I always feel that my brother... this call seems to have other intentions.

"With whom?" Realizing that his tone was inappropriate, Mu Linshen tried to cover it up: "Don't get me wrong, you don't have any acquaintances in City X, I'm worried...you'll be cheated."

This is also quite nonsensical.

Tang Tang's eyes swept over Darren again, remembering the love skills that the other party said just now.

Inexplicably, he suddenly wanted to try it.

"With a...man who just came from abroad."

Not to mention classmates or friends, the pronoun "man" is very imaginative.

Darren on the opposite side gave a thumbs up, with a childish face.

Those who are favored have nothing to fear, Brother Shen, if you continue to "work" like this, you will lose your wife!
