you restrain yourself

Although he decided to confess to Ji Yuan, it still depends on the right time, place and people.

Seeing that the exam week at Duan Zhi's school was getting closer, Ji Shuyan didn't plan to do anything in the near future.

In the hearts of all parents, children's exams are always the first.

Ji Shuyan is no exception.

So he thought about it, and decided to wait until the winter vacation, and Duan Zhi could move house by the way after coming out of the closet, which was perfect.

Duan Zhi has no comment on this.

"as long as you are happy."

But it's not only his nephew who is going to take the test, but also his boyfriend.

Although Duan Zhi looks like a scumbag who comes to fight and play truant, he is actually a top student who doesn't follow common sense. First.

This year, because Duan Zhi entered the senior's studio, he has more time allocated to do part-time projects. He is not demanding on himself in his studies, but he obviously will not relax himself.

One Duan Zhi, one Ji Yuan. Recently, he has been so busy going to the library every day. When he returned to the dormitory, he was also completing group assignments. The study atmosphere was unprecedentedly strong.

Ji Shuyan had a rare experience of what it means to have clean ears.

Usually, Ji Yuan would call to complain to him that the cafeteria was unpalatable and the classes were too annoying, or Duan Zhi would harass him in the middle of the night, saying that he was sleepless in the dormitory and missed him.

Now it is a rare weekend for him to sit on the sofa at home, but only the TV in front of him is rustling, and he is still not used to it.

In fact, Duan Zhi called today and asked him if he wanted to go out for dinner. He was free, but he considered that his little boyfriend was studying seriously recently, and he was afraid that Duan Zhi would have to stay up late to read books when he returned from the date, so he finally refused.

"Let's just say goodbye, you have a class, and you have to hand in your homework tomorrow morning," Ji Shuyan coaxed, "Forget about today, let's talk about it when you are free."

Duan Zhi paused, seemingly unwilling, "But today is..."

But he hesitated for a few seconds before compromising, "Okay."

So Ji Shuyan is now sitting alone in the living room.

He was eating the out-of-season watermelon he just bought, obviously he was the one who told Duan Zhi to study hard, but now he felt lonely.

Just as he was thinking, his cell phone rang suddenly. He took it over to have a look, only to find that it was Zheng Wenbin who asked him to go clubbing together.

"Don't go."

Ji Shuyan's face was dark, and he replied very simply.

But when Zheng Wenbin was rejected, Ji Shuyan actually had no other plans. He ate half a watermelon by himself and started watching variety shows again.

Unwilling to be lonely, Zheng Wenbin called again.

"Why are you staying at home, come out to play together, and there is no one else, we are all acquaintances," Zheng Wenbin yelled, "Don't be like a little old man, I'm not asking you to go on a blind date, just a few of our friends to connect with each other .”

Ji Shuyan was unmoved.

Zheng Wenbin continued, "What's the big deal, you go back at night, you don't come out all the time, sooner or later you lose touch with society, 30 years old is like 60 years old."

This last sentence made Ji Shuyan twitch slightly.

He looked down at the phone in his hand, and the reflection on the back vaguely reflected a handsome face, not 33, but 25 or six years old.

"I think I'm pretty young..." he said slowly.

Zheng Wenbin was amused, "That's right, you look [-] on the outside, but you are [-] on the inside, Tianshan Child Elder."

"Get lost." Ji Shuyan cursed with a smile.

But Zheng Wenbin invited him so sincerely, and he didn't hold back any more.

"Okay, then you send me the address, and I'll go there right away."

Zheng Wenbin was not at his partner's bar this time, but found a place to clean up. The people in their circle are all in their thirties, and they often just find an excuse to get together, share bitterness with each other, and chat about work and family. .

Ji Shuyan hasn't had a romantic relationship for so many years. Although he is tired from work, he can handle it with ease.

But this time is different.

Among their friends was a girl named Lu Bo who had just fallen in love. She was a girl eight years younger than herself. She was also an intern in their company, and the other party chased after him.

A group of people were in an uproar after hearing this.

"You are such a beast," Zheng Wenbin said in amazement, "Look at your folds, how dare you attack a little girl, you are not guilty."

Ji Shuyan glanced at Zheng Wenbin quietly.

"That's right," another friend answered, "Eight years old, you're only 22 in your [-]s, this kid looks like he's not experienced in the world, he's too naive, that's why you deceived him."

Ji Shuyan glared at the man again.

What happened to eight years old, did he say anything to his partner who is 13 years younger?

It was rare for him to chime in and speak for Lu Bo. He glanced at the group of people who were watching the excitement and said coldly, "What's wrong with being eight years old? His girlfriend likes it, so it's up to you."

A group of people suddenly booed louder.

"That's right, there is a generation gap between children's aesthetics and ours."

Of course they were just joking. It’s a good thing that a friend found someone. Although it’s not like Ji Shuyan has been single for so long, and Lu Bo hasn’t been in a relationship for four or five years. Now he is being teased by his friends. Although he pretends to be impatient The corners of the eyes and the brows are clearly very sweet.

Ji Shuyan looked at him and couldn't help but smile.

He thought, when he faced Duan Zhi, he probably looked like this.

Enough with Lu Po, everyone asked to see his girlfriend's photo. Lu Po didn't hide it, and showed everyone a look, but only one look, no more.

Curious, Ji Shuyan also raised his eyes. She was indeed a young girl with delicate features. Although Lu Bo had an ordinary name, he was a handsome guy with handsome eyes and sculpted eyebrows.Standing with this girl is very suitable.

"Then why don't you accompany your girlfriend today?" Someone asked, "Isn't today Christmas?"

Lu Bo felt helpless when he mentioned this, "She's gone on a business trip, and our company won't let go of even the interns, and squeeze her as usual, otherwise who will accompany you bachelors."

This remark made everyone angry, and they all threw things at him, who is a bachelor!Having a girlfriend is great!

Ji Shuyan's focus fell on other aspects.

"Today is Christmas?"

He picked up his phone and took a look. Indeed, there were three words and a small Christmas tree displayed on the calendar.

"That's right, otherwise, why do you think that several people are not here, and they all went with the object," said an old classmate sitting on the left, "The rest are helpless like us."

Ji Shuyan silently looked at Zheng Wenbin.

Zheng Wenbin took a sip of his wine, "Don't look at me, my partner is also on a business trip. Otherwise, I'm going on a date too."

The old classmate next to him burst into laughter, hooked Ji Shuyan's shoulder, "Shuyan, at first glance, you are single like me, and you don't even know that today is Christmas."

Ji Shuyan slapped his hand down coldly, "You are only single."

Everyone was talking, and no one paid much attention to his words. After all, Ji Shuyan's perennial suitors were different from them.

But Ji Shuyan stared at the juice in the glass and was silent for a while.

He probably understood why Duan Zhi would ask him if he wanted a date today, because today is Christmas, and boring adults like him certainly don't care much about it, but in the hearts of college students like Duan Zhi, this holiday is about as important as Christmas. Second only to Valentine's Day.

But today he rejected the person inexplicably.

He also asked Duan Zhi to study hard.

Ji Shuyan touched the glass, suddenly feeling restless.

But I was right, he justified in his heart, after Christmas, there are plenty of assignments, and the homework has not had time to be failed, but it is impossible to make up for it.

But before he finished thinking about it, he heard Lu Bo showing off halfway, complaining sweetly and distressed to others, "...they children like the sense of ritual, saying that I don't know how to be interesting and not romantic enough, it's really annoying. But today I I sent her a gift by courier, and we will make a video after she finishes her meeting later."

I don't understand the taste.

Not romantic enough.

Ji Shuyan felt that his knees were full of arrows.

He drank the juice from his glass, sat there listening to his friends bluff for half an hour, and finally stood up and took his coat.

"Talk slowly," he greeted everyone, "I still have something to do, so I'm leaving first."

Everyone knew his temperament, and they didn't try to keep him, saying goodbye to him one after another.

Only Zheng Wenbin raised his head, "Where are you going? What's the matter so late?"

Ji Shuyan finished buttoning his coat. The black cashmere fabric, against a face as white as snow, was indifferent and noble, as if it was untouched by human fireworks.

But he straightened his cuffs, picked up the car keys, and said two words from his thin lips, "A date."

He left without any hesitation.

The group of people behind looked at each other in dismay, and after a long while, they uttered, "Huh?"

Dating?

Ji Shuyan?

Zheng Wenbin realized later, "Ah, yes... It seems that a few months ago, Ji Shuyan told me that he had an affair. This is, it's done?!"

Not caring how these friends made up their minds, Ji Shuyan picked up the car keys and drove directly to Duan Zhi's school.

It was also thanks to the fact that he didn't drink alcohol. He sat in the bar for more than an hour, but only drank fruit juice.

On Christmas night, the road conditions were somewhat congested. By the time Ji Shuyan stopped outside Duan Zhi's school, more than an hour had passed.

He glanced at his watch, it was ten twenty, it was neither early nor late, there was still some time before Duan Zhi's dormitory closed for bed, but it was far beyond the normal time for appointments.

Ji Shuyan couldn't help being in trouble.

He just drove here on impulse, thinking that Duan Zhi might be waiting for him, he couldn't bear it, but when he really got here, he looked forward and backward instead.

He stared at his watch and thought, maybe Duan Zhi didn't care that much, now it's less than two hours before twelve o'clock, Duan Zhi may have just finished his big homework and was ready to go to bed, so he rushed to call Duan Zhi , maybe even disturbed his quietness.

Besides... Duan Zhi is not Lu Bo's little girlfriend. Although he is still a little younger, Duan Zhi has always been mature and stable. Even if he is more clingy during the passionate love period, he doesn't really care about these rituals.

Maybe Duan Zhi calmed down and felt that his studies were more important.

Ji Shuyan's heart that was beating wildly just now cooled down, he leaned on the steering wheel, and even wanted to go home a little bit.

But just as he thought about it, the phone beside him rang.

Ji Shuyan glanced down.

This time it was none other than Duan Zhi.
