Banshuharu

In the first two weeks of joining the company, Pingqiu was very busy every day. Before going to bed, he habitually summed up the day, but he was always at a loss as to what he was busy with every day.Maybe it’s because he’s not acclimatized to the environment, and he’s slow-moving. A certain teacher who joined him at the same time gets along with his colleagues these days like a fish in water. On the other hand, Pingqiu is dull and reticent, but his temper is gentle and patient. Although other teachers will He joked behind his back that he "seems a bit sissy", but he liked getting along with him more than some colleagues who would come to trouble.

These days, Ping Qiu was on duty during the day, and went straight home as soon as he got off work.For a few days, he and Xu Xiuyuan rolled their sleeves to tidy up the rented house, and most of the decorations were done according to Pingqiu's preferences.

Xu Xiuyuan was obedient on the surface, but he was unhappy in his heart. He wanted Ping Qiu to resign according to his arrangement and live near his school. Ping Qiu also knew about it.But Pingqiu has his own ideas, saying that he can't owe favors, because favors are the hardest to repay, but since he has accepted Peng Yue's wishes, he can't suddenly go back on his word, even if he does resign at that time, Pingqiu thinks he should find someone At the right time, find a reasonable reason, instead of leaving as soon as you want, regardless of etiquette and justice, as Xu Xiuyuan suggested.

But that being said, Pingqiu feels guilty towards Xu Xiuyuan in his heart.It was hard to get a day off, and in two days, Xu Xiuyuan had to go to the school to report, so Pingqiu suggested that they could go shopping together tomorrow.

Hearing this, Xu Xiuyuan stopped typing on the keyboard: "Go shopping? Where are you going?"

"It's all right, I'll do as you like. Where do you want to go?"

At night, when Xu Xiuyuan was free, he sat cross-legged on the sofa, and Ping Qiu leaned against him, with his back straight, hugging the top of his hair, looking for him a blond hair that flashed under the light just now, so he was a little absent-minded.

"There's nothing to go." Xu Xiuyuan was equally uninterested.

"We haven't gone out together yet. There are so many attractions here, don't you want to go to any of them?" Pingqiu said and stopped, "I wanted to say it before, you are now a nerd, I remember when you were young I also like to run around, why don't I like to move when I grow up?"

"When did I run around, didn't I run around behind your ass?"

"That's running around, it's not like you are not moving at all."

Xu Xiuyuan ignored his muttering and complaining, and continued to tap the laptop on his lap.Suddenly the scalp hurt, and Ping Qiu pulled his head lightly. He hissed, and Ping Qiu excitedly shouted: "I found it! You really have golden hair!"

"Tear it off."

"Will it hurt?" Asked like this, but Pingqiu still pulled out the hair neatly, twirled his fingers carefully, put it in the palm of his hand, and showed it to Xu Xiuyuan as if offering a treasure, "Look, I didn't lie to you ,really have."

I found it when Ping Qiu was brushing his hair before, Xu Xiuyuan said no, Ping Qiu insisted, he refused to admit defeat, after drying Xu Xiuyuan's hair thoroughly, Xu Xiuyuan hit his computer, and Ping Qiu stuck to him Beside him, lying on his shoulders, with both eyes squeezed into a pair, after a lot of effort, he finally found the golden hair in his hair.

Ping Qiu held it with both hands cherishingly, but Xu Xiuyuan didn't care about it, and even made an evil gesture to blow into his palm, making Ping Qiu dodge and still not give up, pressing up to grab his hand.Ping Qiu was out of breath from laughing, almost rolled off the sofa, begged Xu Xiuyuan to stop, he opened his palm and saw that golden hair was stubbornly stuck between his fingers.

But it's a deal, they'll set off early tomorrow and walk around.

After all, Beijing is the capital, and as an authentic southerner, Pingqiu met her face to face for the first time, and he was curious and awed in his heart.Like ordinary tourists, they got up early and set off to watch the national flag raising. Then they started from the Forbidden City, passed through Beihai Park and Shichahai, and walked all the way. The people walked through the crowd holding hands, turned and went to Nanluoguxiang.

On the road, I met college students in twos and threes coming out of the main entrance of the college at the alley. The female students were all beautiful and tall, followed by another group of male students.After passing by, Pingqiu deliberately turned his head to take a look, and then quietly said to Xu Xiuyuan: "They are not as handsome as you."

Regardless of the relationship between the two, Xu Xiuyuan's appearance has always been a perfect score for Ping Qiu.

After wandering around for a long time, night fell slowly, Pingqiu was a little hungry, and wanted to find something to eat casually, but Xu Xiuyuan said that he had a better place, so Pingqiu followed him around in the alleys.

From time to time, someone came up from behind ringing the bell, and the bicycle rattled along with the bumpy road conditions in the alley, and there were a few old shared bicycles leaning on the side of the road.The road was a bit dark, Ping Qiu grabbed Xu Xiuyuan's arm and held hands with him tightly.

After leaving the alley, Xu Xiuyuan led Pingqiu to turn west.Not far away is a youth hostel, and opposite the hostel is a small house of flies, with a red signboard hanging on the window, but the handwriting is gaudy, Pingqiu didn't recognize it, so Xu Xiuyuan heaved a sigh of relief: "It's still there."

With these words, Pingqiu learned that he actually came to Beijing alone a few years ago.

"It should be in the third year of junior high school. I lied to my mother that I would come to Beijing to see an exhibition. It should be about aerospace. There was a leaflet. I said that I would go with other students and their parents. At that time, my mother was with me. A contractor was arguing about the contract and was too busy to care about me, so he quickly let go."

"You came here alone?" Ping Qiu was surprised, "You were only in the third year of junior high school at that time, and you hadn't traveled much. Why are you so bold all of a sudden? Was there any accident on the way?"

"If something happened, I wouldn't be able to sit here now."

"Bah, bah, don't say unlucky words," Ping Qiu frowned, "And then, did you really go to the exhibition?"

"No, I didn't buy a ticket at all. I took the money my mother gave me, plus the lucky money I saved, and booked a youth hostel, which is the one opposite." Xu Xiuyuan pointed back, "I live in a six-person room. , upper and lower bunks, I live in the upper bunk on the south side."

"How long have you been here?"

"It should be three days, or four days."

"Why did you do this all of a sudden?" Ping Qiu asked curiously.

It just so happened that the proprietress of the restaurant brought up two plates of appetizers.She is dumb, and she said enthusiastically, asking them to move their chopsticks, don't be polite.Ping Qiu thanked her, she nodded with a smile, and pointed to the back kitchen, which meant that she was stepping up to do it.

"Thank you, we can come by ourselves... There is no reason, I just want to see what the university you originally wanted to look like," Xu Xiuyuan handed the bamboo chopsticks to Pingqiu, "I didn't mention it to you, did I? In the third year, my grades plummeted, and the early approval of the last semester, because of several small test scores, I was admitted to the top three, but I did not rank in the end, and the early approval of the next semester, I did not even take the exam. "

"Why?" Ping Qiu was full of surprise, "Your grades have always been very good, how could this be?"

"I don't know, maybe there was something wrong with my brain at the time," Xu Xiuyuan said sarcastically, "During that time, I didn't have any interest in studying. I just felt bored and had nothing to do. I even thought about going to Pugao instead. Well, isn't Xu Ruiyang just reading Pugao, I can't be worse than him, right?"

"Childish." Ping Qiu commented like this.

Xu Xiuyuan didn't retort: ​​"It's quite naive. I know that if I go on like this, I might regret it, but I couldn't find the motivation, so I lied to my mother and said that I went to the university you wanted to go to and entered the university. No, the control is very strict, so I walked around the school twice."

"The university I want to go to? Actually, I was in the third year of high school, and I didn't have a goal. It was our head teacher, that is, your head teacher, Liu Guangming, who told us that if we couldn't find the goal, we should estimate it from your ranking in each exam. Look up, there is always a school that suits you. At that time, I thought, well, let’s keep an eye on this one,” Ping Qiu smiled, “Actually, I don’t know much about it at all, but I just want to find a school that is suitable for you.” goal."

"Yes, that's why I found it that time." Xu Xiuyuan said, "When I was in a youth hostel, a man lived in at night. I can't remember his appearance, but he was very tall. He was carrying two large black school bags and slept on the bed. I was diagonally opposite. Later in the day, he approached me first, probably because I was young, and he spoke in a tone that sounded like coaxing a child, asking me if I had sneaked out from home."

While talking, the proprietress came to the table with a plate, smiled at Pingqiu, and gestured to Xu Xiuyuan for the food on the table.

Xu Xiuyuan nodded his thanks to her, and continued: "I said yes, but he said he did too."

"Is he very old?" Ping Qiu asked.

"Fortunately, I'm in my 20s. So I also thought it was strange, but I didn't dare to ask him. He told me that he was a college dropout and ran out alone. I'm not afraid that you will laugh at me. I admired him very much at the time. , What I thought every day at that time was, when I reach his age, I must do something big, preferably earth-shattering, and show it to Xu Ruiyang and my mother."

"and then?"

"Then, I chatted with that person, because I knew that there would be no intersection between us, so I didn't tell a half lie." Xu Xiuyuan smiled, "In the end, he said that I was very stupid, so stupid that it made people find it funny."

"Did he say that about you?"

"Yeah, so I was very angry when I heard it, as if I was slapped in the face. Then he said that he chose to drop out of college because he had finished his undergraduate degree and had a good project to follow up, not like Like me, I thought about being a superhero to save the future before I even finished junior high school. If you want to be a hero, you must first have the capital to be a hero. An army without weapons cannot conquer a castle, let alone just sit Daydreaming. Then that night, he took me down from the youth hostel, and treated me to a meal at the Sichuan restaurant opposite, which is this one. I left the next day.”

"You are too courageous, what if the other party is not a good person?" Ping Qiu was a little scared.

"I don't know. My mind was very messed up at the time, and I didn't even think about other results."

"Is it because of him that you chose to report to Beijing?"

"No, it's because of you," Xu Xiuyuan looked at Pingqiu, "I've thought since then, I must go, the farther the better, I'll find a place that is ridiculously big, so that no one can find me. "

"I thought you reported Beijing because you liked Beijing."

"Like? No, I chose it because it was big enough and far enough away, simple as that."

"Then how can you be sure that I will promise you?"

"I just know, I know what's going on in your heart," Xu Xiuyuan said, "Pingqiu, we will stay in Beijing from now on."

Ping Qiu didn't speak, but under Xu Xiuyuan's gaze, he nodded involuntarily.

Tomorrow is the day for Xu Xiuyuan to report to school. The big things brought by his family have already been mailed to the school. In the evening, Pingqiu helped him pack his suitcase. A bottle of perfume suddenly fell out of the interlayer. The smell was very familiar. Pingqiu sniffed it again and again. , it must be the long-lasting fragrance on Xu Xiuyuan's clothes.

Asked Xu Xiuyuan, he didn't take it seriously: "Sun Qi spilled the soup on his body once, he thought the smell was too strong, so he took perfume to cover the smell, it should be at that time - Sun Qi is my friend, have you seen it?" He, the dark and thin one in primary school, his mother owned a clothing store."

"Oh, that friend of yours." In fact, I can't remember clearly, Pingqiu's social circle has always been very narrow, and his memory is not good, but he just put it in a perfunctory way.

"The smell of perfume is very strong?" Xu Xiuyuan's sense of smell is dull, "I think it's okay."

"It's in the whole suitcase, why can't you smell it?" Pingqiu said, "But the smell is not pungent, but it smells good."

"My sister-in-law gave it, saying it is suitable for young people. She has always had good taste."

Pingqiu paused: "Since it was given to you by someone else, you have to keep it well and don't throw it away."

Xu Xiuyuan asked: "You also like this fragrance? Coincidentally, your taste is surprisingly the same as hers."

Sensitive nerves told Pingqiu that Xu Xiuyuan's words meant something.He also knew that even if he didn't mention the past between himself and Xu Ruiyang, it would always be a lump to Xu Xiuyuan. It might not be intentional to mention it, but there was a thorn growing in his flesh, no matter if he touched it intentionally or unintentionally, it would still hurt to some extent. .

However, Xu Xiuyuan seemed to mention it habitually, and quickly changed the topic elsewhere.

Coincidentally.In the middle of the night, Ping Qiu was sleeping soundly. He heard a sound in the mist. He sat up sleepily and saw that Xu Xiuyuan was answering the phone, and after a while he would pick up the line. Xu Xiuyuan looked at Ping Qiu, his eyes were bright and sharp in the dark night.

"What's the matter, what happened?" Ping Qiu asked.

Xu Xiuyuan said that Cao Yanhua gave birth to a daughter.

When he just woke up, his brain turned slowly, and Pingqiu first thought who is Cao Yanhua?Cao Yanhua gave birth to a daughter?whose daughter?

After a moment of calmness, he suddenly came to his senses: Cao Yanhua gave birth to a daughter, which meant that Xu Xiuyuan became an uncle, and even more so, Xu Ruiyang became a father.

Hearing the good news of the old lover from the mouth of the current lover, for Pingqiu, this feeling is really a bit complicated.But after the complexity was over, a strong disgust suddenly surged in his heart, and he murmured: "Can people like us be the father of a child?"

Xu Xiuyuan leaned back and leaned against the head of the bed, but kept his eyes on Pingqiu: "I don't know, but you think my brother shouldn't?"

"Otherwise? As long as he has a sense of responsibility and a sense of morality, he shouldn't marry a girl, let alone have children. This is deception, and it's unfair to his wife and even more unfair to his children."

"But he did it anyway," Xu Xiuyuan said blankly. "It's a done deal. He got married and gave birth to a child, so he gave my mother an explanation... I used to never understand how he could do it so easily. Promise, so it is.”

As he spoke, Xu Xiuyuan's voice gradually lowered, and Ping Qiu couldn't hear the second part of his sentence clearly, and asked him to say it again, but Xu Xiuyuan forced him to lie down.

In this sleeping position, Xu Xiuyuan clasped Pingqiu tightly, Pingqiu moved twice, but was clasped even tighter.

"Xiuyuan, let go," Pingqiu struggled uncomfortably, "I can't breathe."

"Come on me," Xu Xiuyuan said, then put his hand into Pingqiu's pajama pants.

"Don't do it, it's already late, you have to get up early tomorrow."

But no matter how Ping Qiu tried to persuade him, Xu Xiuyuan refused to let go.He played Ping Qiu skillfully, Ping Qiu couldn't escape, he could only bury his blushing face into his neck, and let Xu Xiuyuan take off his pajama pants.

The next morning, Xu Xiuyuan went to the school to report.When he received the news of his safety report, Pingqiu was sorting things in the warehouse.He put the cardboard box next to the telescopic ladder, and freed his hand to look back and forth to Xu Xiuyuan's moving picture of a little bear nodding.Just as he put the phone in his pocket, the warehouse door was suddenly pushed open.

The female teacher walked in with high heels, coughed and waved the dust in the air, and complained that the warehouse might not have been cleaned for hundreds of years. Then she saw Pingqiu leaning on the telescopic ladder, she had a happy face, and stretched out her hands, begging Pingqiu Help her get those two boxes of oil-based pens from the shelf.

Ping Qiu handed it to her, she looked at his face, as if in deep thought, and said for a long time: "Are you new here today?"

Hearing this, Pingqiu was stunned for a moment, not knowing how to explain that he had been working here for less than a month.Luckily, the female teacher didn't bother, she took two boxes of pens and walked away coquettishly, and the laughter of her and other colleagues could be heard a few meters away, which made the warehouse a little colder.

Not taking this matter to heart, Pingqiu climbed up the telescopic ladder again, took down two bags of white paper from the shelf on the third floor, dusted them off, and carried them out the door together with the cardboard box.

Pingqiu's current tutoring institution is very large, and the target group of students includes the three stages of elementary school, junior high school, and high school. In addition to the start of the new semester, many parents of students have come to consult in the past two days.Pingqiu is so busy that even after get off work, the WeChat chat box and information column are still full of consultation messages.After replying one by one, when the subway arrived, he yawned so sleepy that he sent a voice message to Xu Xiuyuan again. After listening to it again, he always felt that he had a cold, his voice was nasal, and he sounded like he was acting like a spoiled child.

After half a minute, Xu Xiuyuan returned the message and asked if Pingqiu was home.Ping Qiu was too fast to speak, and found that the battery of the mobile phone was running out, he didn't dare to waste it, so he locked the screen of the mobile phone and put it in his pocket.

It's a little late to get off work tonight, Pingqiu hugs his chest and walks away quickly.When he passed the main entrance of the apartment, he faintly felt something strange. There seemed to be a black shadow following him all the way. From the shadows, there were probably three or five people, and there were faint laughter behind him, and there were a few chats with local accents, which Pingqiu couldn't understand. , but it did not prevent him from sounding an alarm bell in his heart.

The heartbeat speeded up in an instant, Ping Qiu didn't dare to turn around, took out his mobile phone to dial the number, and was terrified when he found that the battery had dropped to the last one percent.While muttering to God, he hoped that Xu Xiuyuan would answer the phone quickly, but the moment he pressed the shortcut number [-], the screen turned black in an instant.

A heart suddenly fell into the ice cave, Pingqiu couldn't help speeding up his feet, at the same time he shook his hands and put the phone to his ear, deliberately pretending to be rough, and reprimanded his companion on the other end of the phone to come downstairs to answer it.

He tried his best to hold back the trembling in his words: "If the car breaks down, you don't fix it. It's dark in the middle of the night, and you still have to carry a hammer out. People will think you're copying guys to teach others! ... Hurry up if you want to go. Come on, take two hammers, and wear a knife... Are you coming down? Hurry up, climbing the stairs so slowly, are you a tortoise?"

Glancing at the moving black shadows on the ground from the corner of the eye, Ping Qiu walked straight to the nearest grocery store without stopping.But the more anxious he was, the heavier his steps seemed to drag, he was almost about to sprint, and the people who followed him seemed to have foreseen and quickened their pace.

Just when Pingqiu had a premonition that the other person's hand was about to touch his shoulder, he was already ready to throw his backpack at the person, and then he ran towards the nearest grocery store, but there was a sudden shout from behind, Ming Pingqiu and the other team were all frightened in place.

Still a little shocked, Pingqiu was panting rapidly, his legs were weak when walking.He squeezed the backpack strap tightly, straightened his face, and thanked you again: "Thank you, I really thank you just now."

Beside him, parallel to him was a tall, thin young girl.She had short hair cut neatly, and her dress style was neutral. At this time, she took off her jacket and put it in the crook of her arm, revealing some muscles on her upper arm, with sharp lines.

Perhaps it was her ambiguous gender that confused the drunk workers before, especially when she was still dragging a steel pipe. They were frightened away, pretending to be drunk and mistaken, and then fled.

The girl was very quiet, and escorted Ping Qiu home all the way, no matter how much Ping Qiu thanked him, and offered to buy some food and drink for her downstairs, she just shook her head and refused, occasionally saying a short "no".

Ping Qiu was worrying about how to repay her, especially since she was kind enough to follow him to the door.Unexpectedly, she stopped suddenly, pointed to a door and said, "I'm here."

Glancing at her house number and then at his own, Ping Qiu said in surprise, "So we live next door."

After parting with his neighbors, Pingqiu hurried home, he didn't have time to throw away his backpack, he rushed to pour a glass of water, drank most of the glass in one gulp, and finally dispelled a lot of the depression in his chest.Then he charged his phone, and was about to see if there was anything suitable as a thank you gift at home, when he heard the door knock, Pingqiu's heart skipped a beat, and he put a cat's eye on it, it turned out to be a new neighbor.

Seeing the door open, the neighbor lifted the paper bag in his hand, put it in front of his face, and asked dryly, "Do you want beef jerky?"

Arrange neighbors to sit on the sofa, and Ping Qiu himself to sit on the folding chair on the other side.He lowered his head and chewed the beef jerky, his cheeks hurt from chewing, but he pretended to enjoy it, and boasted with a smile: "It's delicious, thank you."

The neighbor asked, "Is that your boyfriend?"

Looking in the direction she pointed, there were photos hanging all over the wall in the living room. The middle one was a couple photo they asked other passengers to take when they were traveling a few days ago. Xu Xiuyuan stood on Pingqiu's right hand, tall and handsome, with a refreshing smile .

Pingqiu nodded: "Yes."

"I've seen him," said the neighbor, "I've seen you go out together, and he's carrying a suitcase."

"Two days ago, right? He went to school, university, and wants to live in a dormitory."

"Oh."

"...My name is Ping Qiu, Ping from Balance, Qiu from Autumn. How about you?"

"Chu Ti Wei, storage Chu, Shan Ti Ti, a little bit."

Pingqiu recited it silently, and laughed: "It's a nice name, but it's a little difficult to write, right?"

Who would have thought that Chu Tiwei's expression suddenly froze, her whole face was not angry but mighty, she just stared at Ping Qiu without blinking.Ping Qiu was flustered by her stare, and he didn't dare to eat the beef jerky in his hand.The two looked at each other silently until Chu Tiwei smiled inexplicably.

She has a very heroic face, and she has a unique smile.And she couldn't stop laughing, causing Pingqiu to laugh too, but he didn't know why he was laughing, so he asked: "What's the matter, is what I said funny?"

Chu Ti shook her head slightly: "I just think you're funny."

"Where am I funny?"

"do not know."

Pingqiu was even more puzzled by the conversation between the bull's head and the horse's mouth.The two of them didn't understand why the other was smiling, and they just smiled silly at each other's face.

Finally laughing enough, Chu Tiwei turned serious again and said, "I want to be friends with you."

"Okay, that's what I wish for. It just so happens that I don't have any friends here. If you want, we can get along well. Anyway, as neighbors, we should help each other."

"Yes," Chu Tiwei deeply agreed, and pushed the beef jerky on the table towards Pingqiu, "Eat."

"By the way, those people downstairs, you must be careful when you travel in the future. I heard that many of them are temporary workers and contract workers, and some of them don't even have ID cards. If they get into trouble, the consequences will be disastrous . " Ping Qiu kindly reminded, and even sounded the alarm for himself.

Not counting tonight, on the second night when he first moved into the apartment earlier, he was also followed by a group of strange men while walking at night.Pingqiu was quite smart, and when he found something was wrong, he ran to a crowded place. There was a 24-hour convenience store nearby. He trotted in, and when he looked back, the group of men couldn't see what was going on, and they waited for a while before leaving at the corner.And that night, Pingqiu didn't dare to go home again, so he spent the night on the second floor of the convenience store and waited until dawn before going home.

Thinking of this, Pingqiu emphasized: "In the future, when you go out, you should put more self-defense things in your bag. I changed the wrong bag today, and I don't have any tools on hand. If they really come to rob, I will lose my things." Simple, if people get hurt, it’s a big deal.”

Chu Ti thought for a while: "You need to bring anti-wolf spray and a tactical pen, it can pierce people and it hurts."

"I'll prepare two copies, one for you."

"I don't need it, I will fight."

"...Bring it just in case."

"You need it, but I don't need it," Chu Tiwei said, "You are weaker than me, and you don't know how to fight."

Ping Qiu glanced at her arm, couldn't help touching his own, the contrast was tragic.He smiled sheepishly, nodded and said, "Well, I'll be careful."

Chatting with Xu Xiuyuan before going to bed, Ping Qiu chose to ignore the fact that he was followed twice, and only talked to him about his new female neighbor and praised her for being handsome. Very good, very righteous, looks like a little leopard.

It's not as good as when Pingqiu is bewitched by someone's favor once, and is easy to let go of his guard. Xu Xiuyuan has always maintained a skeptical and cautious attitude, so that Pingqiu doesn't have to contact the other party too deliberately. If the other party intends to approach, he will naturally take the initiative.

Pingqiu did not refute, but instead asked Xu Xiuyuan what he was busy with these days. It was nothing more than complicated and cumbersome procedures after entering school. Fortunately, the classmates who slept with him were enthusiastic. According to him, one of them was surnamed Lu, a southerner, and Xu Xiuyuan is a neighboring province.

"You're so busy, are you tired these days?" Pingqiu lay on the bed with his cell phone propped by his pillow, his hands crossed against his chin, his legs behind him swinging back and forth, "Freshman is very busy. Yes, I don’t have time to see you either, when I’m free, I’ll go to your school to find you, okay? Is it convenient for you?”

Xu Xiuyuan fell on the bed: "Yes."

"I want to eat in your cafeteria. When I was in college, the cafeteria in our school seemed to be renovated every year. The big cafeteria was basically closed. Only the small cafeteria next to it was open all the time. But there were a lot of students. I always I can’t stand in line, so I seldom eat in the cafeteria.”

"can."

"Does your school allow outsiders to enter? It seems that many schools do not allow them to enter."

"I'll take you in."

"Talk big words," Ping Qiu laughed at him for talking nonsense, then saw Xu Xiuyuan's eyelids drooping, and asked, "Are you tired?"

"A little bit," Xu Xiuyuan opened his eyes, "I didn't sleep well yesterday, and my mother called me all night."

Without asking what he was talking about, Ping Qiu sat up straight while holding the phone, and persuaded: "Then go to bed early, I won't..."

"Xu Xiuyuan, who are you chatting with?" Suddenly, a laugh came from the other side of the phone, probably Xu Xiuyuan's roommate, "Are you dating? I just see that you watch videos with people every night. Your girlfriend is so clingy." You, do you have to report every day?"

"Are you envious?" Xu Xiuyuan replied lazily, "It's useless to be envious."

The boys' dormitory was full of laughter, and the person closest to the microphone was Xu Xiuyuan's laughter, which Ping Qiu felt soft in his heart, feeling that Xu Xiuyuan was liking him more and more.

Since that night, every time Pingqiu goes out, he always puts more self-defense tools in his backpack.Fortunately, Chu Tiwei works in a martial arts school not far from his tutoring institution. She is a teaching instructor and her working hours are very loose, so she often comes to the institution to wait for Pingqiu to get off work, and the two of them drop by to go home together.

There are also colleagues who are curious about their relationship, but Pingqiu usually just responds with a smile, saying that the two are just friends, not that they are neighbors.And every time at this time, Chu Tiwei on one side is still ignorant, and the colleague who called the good thing mistakenly thought that the two were having an affair, but Ping Qiu refused to admit it. Under the circumstances, I did a "dead scumbag who puts on his pants and refuses to admit his account".

As for Xu Xiuyuan, he is busy running around in school classes, and on weekends he shuttles back and forth between subways and buses.He would come to Pingqiu to stay here for one night every Sunday, and then hurried across most of the city to return to school the next afternoon.

Every time Pingqiu contacted him, he was mostly studying and studying. Sometimes there was a messy dormitory in the background, and a sleeping roommate appeared on the upper bunk, and sometimes it was a quiet self-study classroom or library. Headphones concentrate on studying, while Pingqiu concentrates on eating noodles with a noodle bowl that is bigger than his face.

In his impression, Pingqiu had only seen Xu Xiuyuan's appearance in primary school classrooms, he was always very serious, with a serious face, and three stripes pinned to the sleeves of his school uniform.In a blink of an eye, that little Douding suddenly turned into a handsome boy in front of him, Ping Qiu thought sourly that time really waits for no one, Xu Xiuyuan has grown up, and even has the appearance he likes so much.

The days just moved forward without waves, and after the Mid-Autumn Festival and National Day, November came.Pingqiu was afraid of the cold, so he changed into his coat early, and stayed at home with Xu Xiuyuan to watch a movie on Sunday. He was surrounded by warmth, and he dozed off. When he woke up, the movie was over.Xu Xiuyuan got up to pour water. The sweater he was wearing was a gift from Ping Qiuxin, but the size was not right and the sleeves were a little too long.

Xu Xiuyuan said something vaguely, but Pingqiu didn't hear clearly, and asked instead: "Dining with your roommate?"

"Well, there is also Sun Qi. He is also busy at the start of school, and the school is diagonal to me, so we don't see each other very often, so he will come this time." Take a sip, "Come on, let me show you my friends."

"How would you introduce me?"

"How would you like me to introduce you?"

Since he said so, Xu Xiuyuan made it clear that he wanted to confess to his friend.Although Ping Qiu was worried that he would be discriminated against unnecessarily because of his sexual orientation, but seeing Xu Xiuyuan being decisive, he agreed.

The dinner time was set at 06:30 in the afternoon. Sun Qi had no class in the afternoon, so he arrived early. After drinking a pot of tea, Xu Xiuyuan and his three roommates arrived late.

They are all friends of the same age. Sun Qi left his hometown to study abroad. The only close friend is Xu Xiuyuan.

It was agreed earlier that this time would be a family meeting, and Xu Xiuyuan’s two roommates both brought their girlfriends. Sun Qi nodded and suddenly realized something was wrong, so he pushed Xu Xiuyuan and asked him, “Where is your partner?”

Xu Xiuyuan was sending a text message to Pingqiu: "Hurry up, on the way."

Hearing this, Sun Qi was gearing up, and several other roommates were also curious, saying that although he knew that Xu Xiuyuan was not single, he kept his girlfriend's situation completely secret. Today, he finally got a glimpse of the truth, and everyone was curious about Xu Xiuyuan's aesthetic taste Exactly how.

When Xu Xiuyuan's cell phone rang, the friends who were knocking on the bowl and waiting were all screaming, but seeing Xu Xiuyuan pressing down with one hand, the volume gradually faded. He said it was a call from home and he had to go outside to answer it.

Before going out, Xu Xiuyuan asked Sun Qi to help him pick up people, and Pingqiu should be there soon.

Sun Qi hurriedly asked: "I don't know her, what clothes are you wearing today?"

"Grey sweater, backpack." Xu Xiuyuan replied shortly, and quickly opened the door to leave.

Sun Qi muttered and repeated, then hurried out the door, sneezed twice against the cold air outside, regretted that he didn't wear a coat, stomped his feet, looked around from east to west, all the lesbians passing by, I just don't see anyone coming here.

Suddenly, I saw a figure in the distance, wearing a gray sweater and backpack, it was just a gay man.

This gender is wrong, Sun Qi didn't look at it carefully anymore, after all, it's impolite to stare at people on the side of the road, but he was a little strange in his heart, always felt that this face had been seen somewhere before, and there was an indescribable familiarity.

Who knew that it was this gay man whom he couldn't tell why he was familiar with, who stood in front of him a few steps, smiled at him, and asked him, "Hello, do you know Xu Xiuyuan?"

Gray sweater, backpack, Sun Qi scanned the other party from head to toe, as if struck by lightning—Xu Xiuyuan's object?

Finally, the distress call from Fang Haichang was resolved. Xu Xiuyuan blew the cold wind outside for a while before entering the door. Unexpectedly, the originally expected lively scene turned into dark clouds, and the private room was quiet. Sun Qi kept his eyes straight, glancing at Pingqiu who was also silent beside him from time to time.

"Why don't you talk?" Xu Xiuyuan approached, supported Pingqiu's back and sat down, "Let me introduce, my boyfriend Pingqiu."

Pingqiu nodded awkwardly: "Hello, my name is Pingqiu."

After a suffocating silence, roommate Lu Zhiyuan first said: "I'm sorry, it's not that we don't welcome you, but we didn't expect... Everyone was a little confused. I thought I was meeting Xiuyuan's girlfriend today, but suddenly the girlfriend changed My boyfriend is more mature than us, so I'm a little uncomfortable. Let me introduce myself first, my surname is Lu, Lu Zhiyuan."

With Lu Zhiyuan at the beginning, the atmosphere eased a little.Pingqiu was not as cautious as they were, he just nodded in agreement and rarely interjected.

However, there are young people with ambitions present, their ability to accept and adapt is far beyond Ping Qiu's imagination, no wonder they can get along well with Xu Xiuyuan.Maybe it's also because Xu Xiuyuan is the youngest one in the dormitory, but he studies hardest, ranks high in the department, and even has the leisure to attend classes in other departments, especially his appearance is outstanding and attractive, but in such a short time, People have already become famous among the freshmen.

Roommates seem to be honored when they mention Xu Xiuyuan's achievements. Pingqiu likes to hear them praise Xu Xiuyuan, so he listens intently. It's their exaggeration.

Soon, the endless praise meeting for Xu Xiuyuan turned into childish quarrels and exposing each other's faults among the male classmates. They used to praise Xu Xiuyuan for his extraordinary talent and hard work, but now he turned into a "handsome nerd" .The friends laughed loudly, and also felt that Xu Xiuyuan was always prudish and had the potential to be a gentle scum.

As he spoke, Lu Zhiyuan suddenly clapped his hands.He was drunk, and he didn't care that Xu Xiuyuan's real boyfriend was still on the table.
