On how to break up peacefully with 419 subjects

1.

When Yan Shen entered the coffee shop, his steps were still steady.

He was wearing a neat formal suit, with a calm expression, not at all like seeing a rival in love.

From the moment he entered the door, Tu Chen's eyes moved over involuntarily.

He admitted that this person does have a good appearance, enough to attract most eyes to follow.

He also thought of the scene where Gu Tianxing was picked up by this man when he was drinking too much, and he hugged him without any grievances.

What was his mood at that time?

Annoyed, tight in the chest, in disbelief.

He thought that Fa Xiao, who liked women, was obediently lying in another man's arms.

The same man, why can't it be him?

Tu Chen's expression was really not pretty.

He was like a beast preparing for battle, warily watching the opponent who was approaching step by step.

Yan Shen gave him a slight nod, sat down and held out a hand to him: "Hello, Mr. Tu, we meet again."

2.

Yan Shen ordered a cup of coffee and handed the menu back to the waiter.

After turning around, he calmly opened his mouth first: "Mr. Tu specially asked me out, is there something important?"

important things?It is indeed an important thing.

Tu Chen suddenly felt a little unreal.

He never thought that one day, he would impulsively invite Gu Tianxing's date to have a conversation alone.

He is far from being calm now, and even became aggressive because of jealousy: "How long have you known Tianxing?"

He felt that no matter how long it took Yan Shen to answer, he was the winner.

No one will stay by Gu Tianxing's side longer than him.

Ever since Gu Tianxing was walking around in crotch pants, he had been by his side.

A full 20 years.

And all of them are in their 20s.

Yan Shen showed a faint smile.

He didn't answer Tu Chen's question, but asked instead: "What is Mr. Tu's standpoint to ask me?"

At that moment, Tu Chen clenched his hands on the table.

He stared closely at Yan Shen, as if he could read the mockery from the corner of the other's raised lips.

He paused every word: "I am his bamboo horse, his best friend, and..."

At this point, the words came to an abrupt end.He suddenly couldn't continue.

He obviously wanted to say "and the position that he has liked for more than ten years".

He suppressed the phrase "I like it" for so long, even in the face of the person who stole Gu Tianxing, he couldn't say it smoothly.

Maybe it was because he already had the answer in his heart.

Whether he said it or not, he and Gu Tianxing couldn't go back.

But he didn't want to admit it.

3.

"Not long."

Yan Shen didn't wait patiently for him to complete the broken words, "I have known him for no longer than when Mr. Tu returned to China."

It has only been three days since Tu Chen returned home.

20 years and three days.

This answer made Tu Chen at a loss for a while: "Are you mocking me?"

The waiter brought the coffee to the table and politely asked Tu Chen if he needed to replace the cold drink.

It was Yan Shen who answered.

"Please replace him."

This exchange does not seem to be telling the waiter, but also hinting something to Tu Chen.

Tu Chen had a vague guess in his heart, and before he could think about it, Yan Shen continued with these words.

"He already has me, Mr. Tu should give up his mind."

Tu Chen suddenly felt much more comfortable.

Yan Shen made him feel too comfortable, as if he came here just to drink a cup of afternoon tea.

Now the man bared his claws and put away his innocent appearance.

Tu Chen smiled, showing the white tips of his canine teeth, and said word by word, "Why?"

4.

"I'm going back to China this time just for him, why should I give up just because of your words?"

Tu Chen leaned back in his chair and finally regained the confidence he had when he debated in college.

"Since you have only known Tianxing for so little time, you must not know Tianxing's temperament."

Yan Shen didn't open his mouth, and in Tu Chen's eyes, it seemed that he had acquiesced that he didn't understand Gu Tianxing.

"He's naturally playful and will keep trying different kinds of games, but soon the enthusiasm will fade."

"When he was a child, he got a set of thousand-piece jigsaw puzzles for his birthday, and he lay down on the ground with great enthusiasm to tinker with them all day, but the next day he put all those things in a plastic bag and threw them into the warehouse."

"When he was in high school, he wanted to collect stamps on the spur of the moment. He had to queue up for new ones at the post office. He was impatient, and he pushed the booklet to the bottom of the box before collecting the last one."

"For a while, he wanted to learn the guitar, and his aunt specially reported him to the weekend class, but he sneaked out after three sessions, and the guitar was covered in dust."

Having said that, Tu Chen paused for a few seconds.

But Yan Shen's silent appearance came into view, making him feel for a moment that he had the upper hand.

His heartbeat gradually accelerated, and he uttered his inner bad thoughts almost without thinking.

"How long do you think his interest in you will last?"

5.

Tu Chen thought he could calm Yan Shen, but he didn't.

The man sitting across from him didn't even frown, like a bystander listening to a story.

When his heart became more and more congested, he heard Yan Shen ask: "So, has he ever had a relationship with someone?"

Tu Chen subconsciously shook his head.

Gu Tianxing is actually very obedient.

Although his personality and appearance attracted many people, he never really had an intimate relationship with others.

Being a brother buddy seems to be the highest status in Gu Tianxing's heart.

However, Tu Chen found himself facing this question from Yan Shen for the first time.

He never thought about why Gu Tianxing has been alone all these years.

Yes.

Why haven't you found someone to accompany you?

Tu Chen was a little dazed.

6.

Yan Shen interrupted his thinking.

Yan Shen said: "Since Mr. Tu has never seen his 3-minute enthusiasm for people he associates with, there is no need to impose those childish ideas on me."

"I just think it's a little ridiculous. Mr. Tu will regard all the half-way things in Tianxing as a matter of character."

"I want to ask Mr. Tu a word."

"You were by his side at the time, did you ever think about doing those things with him?"

"A thousand-piece puzzle is not easy. If he wants to complete the puzzle, I will naturally help him, and it will always be finished."

"There will be one or two scarce stamps of each kind. If he wants to collect them all, I will line up for him. Collecting a set is not a problem."

"You need someone to accompany you when you go out to watch a movie, let alone take a boring class of basic knowledge. If he wants to learn well, I can accompany him to learn, and even teach him personally after he has learned well."

"Why are you by his side so early, but never consider the easiest things to do?"

"He is my boyfriend now, so all your theories are invalid to me."

7.

Tu Chen was in a hurry.

After he heard such a long series of words from Yan Shen, his heart began to ache.

But he didn't find any words to refute - because he suddenly discovered that what Yan Shen said was the truth.

If he had done more for Gu Tianxing at that time, wouldn’t Gu Tianxing’s jigsaw puzzles have been placed in photo frames, stamps would have lined up photo albums, and the guitar would have played beautiful tones?

long silence.

When Tu Chen spoke again, his voice was a little hoarse.

"He obviously...for so many years, there is no one around him."

"Why didn't he wait for me when I came back to find him?"

Yan Shen picked up the cup, and the curling heat covered his face, so he couldn't see the expression behind him clearly.

"You like him very much?"

Tu Chen replied softly in a daze: "Yes."

As if feeling that this was not enough, he hastily added the second half of the sentence: "I like him very much."

It seems that it is not difficult to say.

This is the first time he admits in front of others that he likes Gu Tianxing.

Why did he ever find it hard to tell?Obviously there is no difficulty at all.

Yan Shen frowned when he heard it, showing some impatience for the first time: "Since you like him, why do you want to associate with others?"

"You said you liked him, but all these years haven't stopped you from dating other people. You never tried hard to chase him, did you?"

8.

One more question left Tu Chen speechless.

The so many childish things he had done echoed in his mind one by one, like a knife had ripped open his heart, causing a dull pain.

Why do you want to date someone else if you like Gu Tianxing?

At first, it was to make Gu Tianxing jealous, to stimulate Gu Tianxing.

Later, it became a habit, and he needed the company of others to numb himself and escape the truth.

He has no way to attribute this mistake to being young and ignorant.

Because he has so many opportunities to change and ease the relationship between them in the future.

But not only did he not do it, he also reacted in a more extreme way.

He had never done anything for Gu Tianxing, and he couldn't find any excuses to overturn Yan Shen's remarks.

9.

"Tianxing is also very stubborn, like a..." Yan Shen paused, and suddenly smiled warmly, "Little hedgehog."

Tu Chen looked at him expressionlessly, wanting to hear what he had to say next.

"He stabs himself one by one, as if as long as this is done, outsiders can't threaten his softness."

"You'll just make him prick more, and I'll show his softest side."

"He gave you time, but you have been passively waiting for him to approach, never looking for problems in yourself."

"Maybe you knew him very early, so early that I was extremely jealous..."

Yan Shen finished his last sip of coffee, and the bottom of the cup touched the glass table, making a crisp clang.

"But in the end, I'm the one who can accompany him to the end."

Tu Chen froze there, unable to speak again.

Tu Chen and Yan Shen are not the same.

He liked Gu Tianxing, so he agreed to the confession of various people, and confirmed various mixed relationships, hoping to attract Gu Tianxing's attention.

Yan Shen liked Gu Tianxing, so he polished himself into the best appearance, firmly stretched out his hand towards Gu Tianxing, and pulled him into his arms.

Obviously he only needed to take a step forward, but he pushed Gu Tianxing away with his own hands.

He can't blame anyone.

10.

"Mr. Tu, instead of challenging me here, you might as well learn how to love someone first."

A one-sided negotiation ends here.

Yan Shen settled the bill and left.

When the time came, he was going to take Gu Tianxing home.

Tu Chen looked at the empty space opposite, as if he had lost a battle, he slumped on the table.

After an unknown amount of time passed, a cool hand slowly covered his exposed neck.

Tu Chen seemed to know who was coming, so he grabbed the wrist instead, shortening the distance between the two.

He hugged the young man's waist tightly, his hands were so strong that his knuckles turned white, his sudden movement alarmed all the guests present.

He buried his head, unwilling to lift it up, and just apologized over and over again: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry..."

"It's ok."

Almost after he finished saying sorry for the first time, Jing Boming answered.

The young man smiled as usual, "It's okay."
