Mr. Shen's little boyfriend

He Qiutong, who was immersed in thinking, was startled by the knock on the door, and almost dropped his phone into the bathtub with a trembling hand.

At any rate, he caught it, he exhaled with lingering fear, and got up from the cold water.

The drops of water slid across the delicate skin, from the clear collarbone to the flat waist, like the crystal clear dewdrops sliding on the crisp peaches in spring.

But the cold air is expected to be severe, especially when the water vapor is blown by the wind, the water droplets will be lost together with the heat. He Qiutong shivered involuntarily, and a layer of goose bumps appeared on his skin due to the cold.

"Didn't you say soak less?" Shen Chao knocked on the door again, "Don't fall asleep inside—"

He Qiutong stretched out his hand to turn up the heat lamp, and raised his voice to respond: "Come out soon!"

After a while, he opened the door in a bathrobe, and the absorbent towel in his hand was rubbing against the back of his head - just now, he buried himself in the water, slightly moistening the slightly long fine hair on the back of his neck.

Seeing him coming out, Shen Chao beckoned him to eat.

Several small dishes and warm soup have been set on the dining table in the living room. Under the light of the warm-colored chandelier, the color is bright, and the steaming heat just out of the pot is hot, which attracts the index finger.

But now He Qiutong looked at the delicacies on the table, but he didn't have any appetite. It had nothing to do with Shen Chao's cooking skills, but he was depressed and didn't want to eat very much.

He looked up at Shen Chao, who was sitting opposite him and was watching him, forced a smile, raised his chopsticks, added some food and put it into the bowl.

Shen Chao's fingertips subconsciously tapped on his thighs. This was an unconscious action when he was upset. It was not until He Qiutong raised his head and asked him, "Why don't you eat?" that Shen Chao smiled and ate with He Qiutong.

Shen Chao didn't have much appetite either, he had been silently watching He Qiutong's movements during the serving of food, if it was in the past, He Qiutong must have picked up the bowl and chopsticks to eat, but today he just stared at the dish in front of him Put it in a bowl and chew it mechanically.

Shen Chao felt uncomfortable watching, and reached out to pick up a piece of ribs and put it in the opponent's bowl.

He Qiutong stared blankly at the chopsticks in front of him, and then looked up at Shen Chao as if he had come to his senses after a pause of half a second.

"Eat more meat, you will lose weight."

Hearing this, He Qiutong pursed his lips and put a piece into Shen Chao's bowl, "You really lost weight, and your jawline became more pronounced." Shen Chao was busy with Xiaohang's case and the school contract some time ago, running around, He Qiutong looked tired, how could he not be thin.

But he could only watch, he couldn't help.Even he almost became Shen Chao's burden.

His existence allowed Shen Chao to take time out to cook during the busy work period, and even take care of his sensitive emotions.

Now thinking about the idea of ​​wanting Shen Chao to put down his work and accompany him, it is really naive and pitiful.

It would be great if he could become an accomplished person like Shen Chao's roommates. He could give advice when Shen Chao had difficulties in his work.

But now he can't even understand some proper nouns in Shen Chao's contract, and he can't even cook by himself...and he needs a man to take time out of his busy schedule to take care of him.

This is not the first time that He Qiutong has realized the gap between himself and Shen Chao, but it is the first time that he has seen the gap between them so deeply and truly.

The appetites of both of them were not good tonight, there was a lot of food left, Shen Chao sealed them with plastic wrap and put them in the refrigerator after they were cold.

The errand of washing the dishes after dinner was still shared by the two of them. After He Qiutong finished washing, he handed it to Shen Chao to dry and put it in the cabinet.

Shen Chao looked at his boyfriend's listless look with frowned eyebrows and drooping eyes, and after thinking for a while, he decided to tell He Qiutong his plan.

"Tong Tong."

"Huh?" He Qiutong looked up at Shen Chao in confusion.

When being watched by those clear peach blossom eyes, Shen Chao was a little nervous, pursed his thin lips, and continued after a while, saying: "I plan to resign. Then we will..."

Before Shen Chao finished speaking, He Qiutong accidentally broke a plate.

He Qiutong's hands were still trembling, "I'm sorry... I, I didn't hold it steady..." He looked at the scattered ceramic fragments on the ground, a little lost, and paused before squatting down to pick them up.

"Don't move—" Shen Chao sighed, and pulled up the person who was squatting on the ground, "Don't hurt your hands."

After that, he turned and went to the storage room to get a broom, intending to clean up the mess.

He Qiutong was still standing where he was, with his back turned to him and his head bowed, like a child who had done something wrong and was waiting for punishment from an adult.

Shen Chao walked over and grabbed his little boyfriend's shoulders, trying to pull him halfway so that he could clean it up, only then did he see the bright red blood gushing out from He Qiutong's fingertips.

"Didn't I tell you not to move?" Shen Chao raised his boyfriend's bleeding fingertips with some distress to have a look, "I'll get the Band-Aid, and you don't want to pick up broken porcelain pieces. Be obedient."

He Qiutong didn't respond to him, and after Shen Chao turned around, he squatted down silently and hugged himself, staring blankly at the blood gushing out of his hands.

This drop of blood seemed to be the fuse of all the helpless things today, and suddenly ignited the negative emotions hidden in He Qiutong's heart.

Shen Chao wants to resign unexpectedly, is it because of him?It's because of him.

How much did I drag Shen Chao down?

How many people dream of being an associate professor at NTU?The position of professor is decent and decent, how many parents think of a good son-in-law?

Such a perfect Shen Chao, because he was notorious, he even had to quit his job.

Look at yourself, what have you done!He Qiutong!

But after hearing Shen Chao's returning footsteps, He Qiutong suppressed the resentment in his brows, and squatted silently so that no one could see anything strange.

The man carefully lifted his hand to wrap up the injured right index finger. Shen Chao looked at the depressed boyfriend, but he couldn't speak harshly anymore, and put him on the sofa in the living room.

"Sit down obediently and watch the TV by yourself. I'll go and wash the rest of the dishes."

"Ah."

In order to prevent Shen Chao from discovering his strangeness, He Qiutong turned on the TV obediently as Shen Chao said, but he couldn't concentrate on the comedy on the screen.

His peripheral vision was always in the direction of the kitchen, and he watched Shen Chao sweep the ceramic shards into the trash can, and then wash, dry and put the remaining bowls and chopsticks in the sink into the cabinet one by one.

He has caused trouble for Shen Chao again, will Shen Chao find him annoying one day?He doesn't make any money now, he eats and lives in Shenchao, just like a vampire.

He is not worthy of Shen Chao who is as beautiful as the moon and the gods.

Shen Chao will lose him one day, right?

He Qiutong silently thought about these closed words.

When he came back to his senses, Shen Chao had already wiped his hands and sat next to him. The two of them were shoulder to shoulder. With such an intimate distance, He Qiutong felt that they were so far apart for the first time.

It was as if a moat had been cut between the two of them invisible, and one step forward would lead to a bottomless, deep and dark abyss.

"Let's talk."

He Qiutong's eyes flashed, and he said 'yes'.

As usual, as if nothing had happened, they nestled on the sofa and leaned against each other to find an old movie to watch.

"Actually, I don't particularly like the job of a university teacher. I had the idea of ​​resigning before. I should hurry up and submit my resignation before these photos come out. If that's the case... I probably won't lose my mind."

He Qiutong listened quietly, without saying a word.

He was clear in his heart - Shen Chao was lying to him.

How could Shen Chao dislike the job of a university teacher?He was such a dazzling presence when he stood on the podium, and every time he wrote on the blackboard, he poured heavy feelings into it...

He has seen Shen Chao's teaching records, and the densely packed text is full of respect and love for this job.

Sensing He Qiutong's silence, Shen Chao cupped his cheek and kissed him.

"I'll take you to see the sea when the resignation letter comes out. Didn't you clamor to go to the beach before?"

Speaking of looking at the sea, He Qiutong remembered the scene of that night.

That night they leaned together to watch a movie like this. They watched a small fresh Japanese romance movie. The hero and heroine met at the beach. It was a hot summer. They ran on the beach and left two happy footprints.At the end of the camera, it landed on the surface of the sea, and love was rippling on the sparkling water.

That was the time when He Qiutong hugged Shen Chao and said, "Mr. Shen, let's go to the beach to play in the future!"

Shen Chao really memorized every word of his, wrote every wish of him into the memo, and waited for a certain day to fulfill them one by one.

"Mr. Shen, do you really want to resign?"

"Well. It's been decided a long time ago. It's just that the previous contract has not been finished. Now that it's done, you can resign."

He Qiutong didn't want to talk about this topic anymore, and frowned to hide his gloomy expression, "I knew I wouldn't have kissed you on the side of the road that day... I, I didn't expect to be photographed."

Shen Chao just smiled at this, "If you don't kiss me, I will kiss you."

He didn't tell He Qiutong who was behind the incident. The dynamic copy was friendly on the surface, but secretly pointed out all the things that were not good for them: teacher-student love and street kisses.

There are also the candid photos in the three chapters, which can't be taken without some skills. The candid photos took the faces of the two of them very clearly and at tricky angles. It should be the paparazzi specially invited by Chen Kang.

The man behind the scenes should be Chen Kang. He recognized He Qiutong and decided to take revenge.But Shen Chao never expected that in this way, it seemed that the injury was small, but it actually hit the pain of the two of them.

The teacher-student relationship has always been a life-threatening talisman in the relationship between the two. Chen Kang, who has always been extremely dull at work, was able to discover this fatal pain point.

The movie has come to an end, and the names of the actors and actresses have begun to be broadcast in black and white characters.

Both of them lost interest, He Qiutong tilted his head and asked, "Are you still watching? Or go to bed?"

Shen Chao took the remote control to turn off the TV screen, and directly hugged the person horizontally.

"Go to bed early today, Tongtong has worked hard today."
