Mr. Shen's little boyfriend

Both of them were interrupted by the sudden ringtone, and Shen Chao swallowed the unspoken words.

He Qiutong looked at the lit phone screen——

It's Li Siyu's WeChat number.

He Qiutong fixedly glanced at the lit screen, then silently turned back to stare at Shen Chao, and answered the phone after Shen Chao nodded in acquiescence.

Shen Chao saw the boy's timidity, and stretched out his hand to pinch the back of He Qiutong's neck several times - this was a comforting gesture he liked very much before.

He forced a smile at the other party, suppressed the soreness in his throat, and made his voice sound normal:

"Hello? I'm really sorry, I let you see...seeing that scene today, I..."

The unfinished words were interrupted by the girl's hurried voice:

"He Qiutong, you... I will help you keep the secret!"

"You... don't worry that I will tell this matter, but be more careful next time..."

"I thought for a long time before I made up my mind to call you. I don't know what kind of relationship you have with Professor Shen, but it certainly doesn't seem to be the relationship between Xiaohang and that scumbag teacher... However, you You still have to be careful, and you must be on guard against others."

"Emm... Also, I actually... Hey, forget it."

The girl's voice echoed in the small space inside the car.

After Li Siyu finished speaking, he hung up the WeChat call without waiting for him to answer. The call interface flickered a few times and then automatically closed, and no other messages were sent.

He Qiutong held up his mobile phone, his downcast eyes fell on the chat interface with Li Siyu, and he was speechless for a long time.

After a long time, Shen Chao moved, bent over and rubbed the top of his head, "She treats you very well."

After a while, he said: "Get out of the car, just go back and sleep."

He Qiutong took a deep breath, put the phone back in his pocket, and got out of the car with Shen Chao.

Back home, Tuanzi was awakened by the movement of the two of them, and came to rub He Qiutong's ankle.

Only when he returned to this familiar home could he truly relax.

He Qiutong smiled, bent down, picked up the cat and rubbed it several times.

It was already late after taking a shower, He Qiutong walked around in the master bedroom and the guest bedroom in his pajamas, but he didn't see Shen Chao's shadow.

Passing by the study, seeing that there was still light inside, he went up and knocked on the door.

"Please come in—"

Teacher Shen always wears a pair of gold-rimmed glasses when working, and today is no exception.

He Qiutong pulled his slippers and moved over. The stacks of documents on the desktop made him dizzy, but the key words could still be seen.

"Mr. Shen, you haven't finished your 'Chen An Pharmaceutical' project yet?"

"It's almost finished. Go out in a few days and sign the contract, and you can have a good rest for a while."

His teacher Shen must be very tired, he took off his glasses and rubbed the bridge of his tall nose.

"Go to sleep first, I will finish these tasks as soon as possible. I will be with you all the time, okay?"

At that time, He Qiutong thought that the phrase "I will always be with you" was just a scene that Mr. Shen blurted out to comfort him.

So he just hooked his lips and smiled lightly, and leaned over to kiss the corner of Shen Chao's mouth:

"Okay—then I'll wait for you in bed. Don't go to bed too late."

He Qiutong went to bed after drinking the milk Shen Chao poured him.

This day was full of ups and downs and busy work. He Qiutong's body was indeed very tired, but his spirit was in a state of exhaustion and hyperactivity, which was extremely contradictory, listless but excited, unable to fall asleep.

This state seemed familiar, he desperately wanted to smoke a cigarette.

He Qiutong actually knew where Shen Chao put the cigarettes, he got up, walked halfway barefoot, and held back.

Going back to the bed and sitting for a while, it was really boring, He Qiutong opened his eyes and threw himself straight into the quilt.

He lay on the bed and stared at the pure white ceiling until the darkness in the room gradually faded and the brilliance of the sunrise slowly fell.

He Qiutong's eye sockets were sore, it should be the aftereffect of opening his eyes for too long without moving, just when he blinked hard to make his eye sockets moist——

There was a sound at the door.

Shen Chao should have finished his work.

He Qiutong was stunned for a moment, then quickly closed his eyes and shrank into the quilt, and tried to relax his body as if he was still asleep.

A gleam of light penetrated the eyelids, it should be that the door was opened.

The sound of Shen Chao's footsteps fell clearly on He Qiutong's throbbing heart in the quiet sunrise.

Shen Chao pushed the door and walked in, and glanced at the boy who was 'sleeping' on the bed. The warm yellow light outside the door swept across the boy's delicate and beautiful eyebrows and eyes, where tears were shed because of him.

Shen Chao looked at it for a long time, bent down and kissed the corner of the boy's eyes lightly, and finally fell asleep beside him softly.

He didn't hide from the boy on purpose so he didn't come to sleep, but he really had work to do——

He thought about how long it would take to complete the current cooperation with Chen An Pharmaceutical overnight, considered the wording of his resignation as an associate professor, and planned the preparation of an off-campus psychological consultation room.

These things were put on his agenda one by one.

Shen Chao wanted to give the boy a carefree relationship as soon as possible - because his previous hesitation had already hurt his little friend, it was his responsibility.

Shen Chao's participation in this cooperation with Chen An Pharmaceutical was too heavy for him to withdraw easily. Before he completed this commercialization project, the principal would not approve his resignation letter.

So he can only shorten the time to complete the cooperation.

as soon as possible.

He wanted to take his teenager away from the shackles of the world earlier, holding hands and hugging on the street.

Shen Chao tilted his head, gently hugged the young man beside him into his arms, and said softly:

"Our love does not require their consent."

"I love you forever."

He Qiutong heard it, and heard these two sentences.

When the sound of Shen Chao's steady breathing came from beside him, the boy who was supposed to be 'sleeping' couldn't pretend anymore, his eyelids trembled and his thick and curly eyelashes trembled like a butterfly about to fly.

The butterfly wings flickered for a moment, and two lines of hot tears rolled down.

His Professor Shen is always so gentle and considerate, taking care of everything silently by himself.

"Our love does not require their consent."

Shen Chao never mentioned 'they' in front of him, he would only express some depressed feelings in such an early morning when the moon was sinking into the dark clouds and the light had not yet appeared.

But the love between them really doesn't need the consent of 'them'?

Xiao An's blood stained a large area downstairs on the construction site, and the deep red mark seemed to have been firmly nailed into the airtight concrete, and the wind, rain, and sun and rain could not wash it off.

There seemed to be a bloodstain slowly spreading in He Qiutong's mind.

He suddenly opened his eyes, and some colorful pockmarks appeared in front of his eyes because of too much force, which kept flickering.

Fortunately, Shen Chao next to him was really exhausted and fell into a deep sleep, and was not woken up by him.

He Qiutong breathed a sigh of relief, turned his head slightly to look at Shen Chao's silhouette in the darkness, and could vaguely see the man's sharp eyebrows, high nose bridge and slightly parted thin lips...

His Shen Chao is so handsome.

The youngest associate professor in Nantah, an institution of higher learning, will also be the youngest professor in the future... What an outstanding person.

The man's steady breathing sounded in his ears, and He Qiutong suddenly called out softly: "Shen—chao—"

Maybe it was too sleepy, Shen Chao was not woken up by him.

He Qiutong waited for a while and saw no response from Shen Chao, then gently got up and touched his mobile phone from the bedside table, turned the brightness to the lowest and started searching

——The consequences of the discovery of a relationship between a university teacher and a student.

The comments on the Internet are mixed. Some people say that adult love should be free, while others say that it is always lacking in moral meaning.

An answer from the narrator caught his attention.

The poster claimed that he fell in love with his counselor when he was in college, they were together in the sophomore year, and they were in the third year.

The two clearly matched each other, but they had to separate.

They ate together during the ambiguous period, but they were farther apart than anyone else during the dating period-this is called avoiding suspicion.

Ridiculous, isn't it.Even with your lover, you need to avoid suspicion.How sad.

Although the two were exhausted, neither of them thought of giving up. They cheered for each other in a corner where no one was around—after three years, they would definitely not stay in the school for the postgraduate entrance examination!No longer be a teacher and student!

But day after day, the estrangement in school, the acting in front of friends, and the increasingly heavy psychological pressure are killing the love between the two all the time.

They didn't even wait for what they were worried about to happen, and the initial heavy love had been wiped away.

No one discovered the love between the two of them. This love was born and rotted in the dark underground like this.

No one knows.

People always save enough and leave disappointed.

Both of them tasted the disappointment in this love, and there was no pain when they parted, only endless relief.

The story ends here, and He Qiutong still maintains the mechanical downward movement until he sees the prompt of "it's the end".

After a long pause, he reached out and tapped on 'step', turning off the screen.

The surroundings are plunged into darkness again, and the retina, which has experienced light, will also contrast. This time the darkness appears darker than when it was used to darkness.

He Qiutong's mind was in a mess, and he still couldn't fall asleep even with his eyes closed. For some reason, he clicked on the previous answer again, unclicked 'step', and replaced it with likes.

The light of the mobile phone in the dark illuminates He Qiutong's eyes abnormally brightly, and the emotions inside are also placed in an open and conspicuous place by the white light.

Messy and disorganized, nowhere to put it... like a ball of yarn that has been messed up, and the end of the thread cannot be found and the knot cannot be untied.

Shen Chao will not be happy with him.

He was afraid that this rare love would be wiped out.

If this is not the case, it is better to freeze it when the love remains.

He turned off the camera sound and flash, and took a picture of Shen Chao's profile in the blurry darkness.

There is faint light outside the window, and the silhouette of the man is inlaid in the shadows, which is indescribably beautiful.
