After we broke up, I still asked about your situation

After this time, when Tu Jiazhi came back, it was already the end of the final exam.

After the exam, there are three days off, and before the official winter vacation, I have to go back to school to make up two weeks of classes.

Since the next few days were senior exams, the school was requisitioned as an exam room, and he could no longer use the excuse of convenient self-study in the classroom to stay in school, so he had to go home.

Tong Shen only knew that he was taking the exam this week, not the exact date.Tu Jiazhi didn't want to bother him to pick him up, so he deliberately didn't inform in advance, and walked home directly after the exam.

In the severe winter, Tu Jiazhi grew up fast, but the padded jacket he was wearing was bought several years ago, and the cuffs were a long way short.

Although he would be dragged by Tong Shen to the shopping mall every time he came back, but the last time the two met it was not so cold, so they only bought a thin coat.When he came here, he packed lightly, and he didn't bring any clothes to keep out the cold, and his mother sent them here.

The cold wind was howling outside, and it was hard to get home, but it was colder inside than outside.

Tu Jiazhi knew that Tong Shen must not have lived here in the past two months, so he was cleaning as soon as he got home, but he never expected that there would be a power outage here.When he finally finished cleaning and was about to take a break, all the electrical appliances in the house suddenly stopped working, and he hadn't had time to take a shower.

After hesitating for a moment, Tu Jiazhi took out his mobile phone and called Tong Shen, but no one answered the three calls in a row.

The heating was installed in the room, and only thin quilts were prepared. Tu Jiazhi called Tong Shen again in the early morning, but there was still no reply.He had no choice but to fall asleep and put his cotton padded jacket on top of the quilt.

In the middle of the night, the padded clothes slipped off, and Tu Jiazhi woke up from the cold, just in time to hear the sound of a lock being unlocked outside.

He immediately picked up his coat and wrapped it around his body, and opened the bedroom door, as expected, a faint light came in.

Just as he was about to speak, a strange voice sounded: "Hey, is the light broken?"

"It's not broken." Tu Jiazhi greeted him, "The power is cut off."

There was a pause over there, and hesitantly asked: "Are you... a child of Brother Shen's relative?"

Tu Jiazhi didn't know the identity of the other party, so he cautiously didn't answer.

Turning the corner, two figures came into view at the door. Although it was backlit, Tu Jiazhi recognized at a glance that the one lying crookedly on his shoulder was Tong Shen.

As for the other, he hadn't seen it.

"Drunk?" Tu Jiazhi subconsciously wanted to help Tong Shen over, but the man didn't let go.

"Brother Shen always said that he was a child. I thought he was so young, but I didn't expect..." The man was handsome, but his smile seemed to be a bit mean, which was not very pleasing, "Are you also in college?"

"high school."

Sensing the opponent's defense, Tu Jiazhi didn't bother to argue with him, and simply took half a step back: "His room is at the back."

"The power is out, so let's not go in. I'll take him home."

--go home.

Meaning this place is not home.

Even though he had known it for a long time, Tu Jiazhi still couldn't help feeling a little uncomfortable when he suddenly heard someone say that.

He has tried his best not to disturb Tong Shen's life, and has repeatedly warned himself not to regard this place as a safe haven.

Over four months a semester, he only came back three times.

But that's still "coming back".

It was the only place that popped into his head when he told his classmates at school that he was going "home".

But for Tong Shen, this place can only be regarded as a burden at best, and it can't be called "home".

The joy when he heard the door opening earlier was extinguished by that sentence, Tu Jiazhi's face turned black: "Then you go."

"Aren't you together?" Zhang Ping asked in surprise, "It's so cold at night, how can you sleep here? If your brother knows that I didn't bring you back together, he will definitely blame me tomorrow."

Tu Jiazhi hesitated for a while, and asked, "Why did he come back today... why did he come here?"

"Brother Shen said that you have to come over to take a look at your exams these few days, and he also said that he will call the cleaner to come to your door before you come back." Zhang Ping said, "Are you on vacation early?"

"En." Tu Jiazhi didn't want to say more, "Please wait a moment, I'll be with you, and I'll come after changing clothes."

The three went downstairs to the parking lot. Zhang Ping wanted to help Tong Shen into the passenger seat, but was stopped by Tu Jiazhi: "It's not good to sit in the passenger seat when you're drunk. Put it in the back. I'll watch him."

Zhang Ping swept his eyes across his face and said with a smile, "Okay."

After getting into the car, Tu Jiazhi put Tong Shenping down and let him lie on his lap.

The picture was brought into Zhang Ping's eyes through the rearview mirror, and he asked with a fake smile: "What is the relationship between you and Brother Shen? You don't look alike, although you are both handsome, haha."

"Distant relatives." Tu Jiazhi's tone was neutral, "Not much blood."

"Oh." Zhang Ping said casually, "But you must have a good relationship, right? Brother Shen really cares about you."

"good."

"Did you grow up together?" Zhang Ping asked again.

"When he wakes up, you can ask him directly." Tu Jiazhi stared at the rearview mirror sharply, "I haven't asked you what to call him yet."

"Zhang Ping, Brother Shen..." After a pause, Zhang Ping smiled meaningfully, "Friend."

"Oh." Tu Jiazhi glanced out of the window and said casually, "He has quite a lot of friends."

Zhang Ping smiled slightly: "Didn't he mention me to you?"

"I don't know." Tu Jiazhi said, "I don't have a good memory. Unless he introduces someone to me, like Du Zijie did, I can't remember."

After saying that, he lowered his eyes, put his hand on the top of Tong Shen's hair, and stroked it gently.

He hadn't noticed it just now, but now he realized that Tong Shen had dyed his hair another color. With the faint light cast outside the window, he could vaguely see that it was probably purple.

——It's really coquettish.

The fingers accidentally slipped to the earlobe and pinched something hard.

Tu Jiazhi didn't look there, but traced it with his fingertips, and he could tell that this earring was different from the previous one, it felt like a diamond.

As soon as he thought of this, his eyes suddenly paused.

Because he was on the driver's seat right in front of him, Zhang Ping's right ear also had a shimmering light.

The same earrings.

……friend?

Tu Jiazhi crushed the earring between his fingers hard, and then let go of it expressionlessly.

On the other hand, when Tu Jiazhi mentioned Du Zijie, Zhang Ping's face turned completely cold, and he didn't take the initiative to talk to him after that.

The car drove all the way into the villa, and the butler came out to greet him. When he saw Zhang Ping, he greeted him familiarly.

Tu Jiazhi carried Tong Shen out of the back seat. The housekeeper wanted to reach out to help, but raised his head to meet his face, and was stunned: "This is..."

Hearing the sound, Zhang Ping looked at him pretending to be surprised: "Brother Shen hasn't brought you here before?"

Tu Jiazhi didn't speak, turned away from the butler, and went straight into the room with Tong Shen in his arms.

As soon as the person was put on the sofa, an aunt immediately brought over honey water.

Tong Shen might have indeed drank too much, he couldn't help throwing up as soon as he drank the honey water, and a group of people rushed to take care of it.Tu Jiazhi was squeezed outside, staring coldly at the noisy scene in front of him, feeling inexplicably irritable.

When dawn was approaching, Tong Shen woke up in a daze with a splitting headache.

He stretched out his hand to the side and touched Zhang Ping's arm.

Zhang Ping was in a shallow sleep, and was awakened immediately by such a touch, and hurriedly asked: "What's wrong?"

"Where's Xiaozhi?" Tong Shen rubbed his temples and sat up, stretching his legs to get out of bed, "Did you bring him here last night?"

Zhang Ping was slightly startled: "You...were conscious yesterday?"

"Vaguely know." Tong Shen casually put on a blanket and walked out, "Where are the others?"

Zhang Ping didn't respond, and got up silently to follow behind him.

Realizing something was wrong, Tong Shen stopped and turned around: "What?"

"He... disappeared..." Zhang Ping muttered, "You vomited last night, and we were all taking care of you. If we didn't notice him for a while, we don't know where he went..."

"What do you mean you don't know?" It may be that the headache makes people irritable, and the more Tong Shen said, the more angry he became, "In addition, you have seven or eight pairs of eyes, are you blind?! He is so big, how can he disappear out of thin air? ! If you don’t look for it when it disappears, how can you fucking sleep?!”

Hearing the roar, the butler ran upstairs in a hurry, and Tong Shen scolded him as soon as he appeared, saying, "Go and find someone for me!"

After scolding there, Tong Shen turned his head to look at Zhang Ping, and continued to get angry: "Who told you to make up your own mind? Ah? Did I ask you to bring him here?"

Zhang Ping pursed his lips, and said aggrievedly: "I can't help it, there's a power outage over there, I can't leave him alone..."

"Isn't it possible to open a room in the hotel?! You have to bring it here? Do you know how much you know?!" Tong Shen took a breath, pointed at him and said, "I don't care about anything else. Zhang Ping, you What the hell are you playing riddles with a child? Think I'm deaf? What are you spying on?"

"I didn't..." Seeing his eyes, Zhang Ping lowered his head and admitted his mistake, "I'm sorry...I, I just don't think he looks like a high school..."

"Are you fucking jealous?" Tong Shen was so angry that the top of his head was smoking, "Is it your love rival to meet a man?"

Zhang Ping opened his mouth to refute, but he didn't make a sound.

Not long after, the housekeeper came up and said that he had been found and slept in the car overnight.

Tong Shen rushed down without taking the stairs, and jumped directly to the next floor while holding on to the handrail, the blankets fell down and spread all over the floor.

"...Brother Shen!" Zhang Ping yelled reflexively, and the housekeeper next to him was so frightened that his legs went limp, and he almost knelt on the ground.

When his feet landed on the first floor, Tong Shen couldn't walk anymore, his legs seemed to be filled with lead, and he couldn't even pull them up.

Tu Jiazhi stood in the hallway, his lips were pale, but his neck and face were a little abnormally red.

He held a coat in his arms, and glanced over lightly.

Tong Shen recognized that it was his coat, and something flashed in his mind.

His throat was dry, and he hesitated to take half a step forward.

"Mr. Tong," an aunt stood beside Tu Jiazhi, and said worriedly, "This child seems to have a severe fever. Do you want to call the doctor?"

"Look." Tong Shen said quickly, "I'll take him to the hospital right away."

After finding an excuse, his legs finally gained strength.

In just a few seconds when he walked towards Tu Jiazhi, he suddenly caught the wave that flashed through his mind earlier - he still had the bill after paying last night in his coat pocket.

...he was at a gay bar last night.
