[Comprehensive British and American] Life winners are fake

simply……

Joey was sprawled on the table with his face buried in his elbows, and he felt his head go wild.

Especially when he saw that tweet, Joey knew who sent it without looking at the id, and this conclusion made him even more irritated.

If possible, Joey hopes that time will stand still at this moment, because when Peter appears in front of him tomorrow—of course, even if Peter does not appear tomorrow, he will appear one day, and it will not be a long time interval, after all Whoever pursues people will never show up.However, this is what Joey has a headache for. He doesn't know what attitude he should use to face Peter.

He felt that he was at a loss by the sudden confession, and he felt that anyone in his situation would be a little confused.

In Joey's opinion, he and Peter are good friends. Although they once slept together, hooked their shoulders, leaned on each other's shoulders, and even experienced life and death together, his idea has never changed.

Not only because these behaviors are not uncommon among boys, but also because in Joey's eyes, Peter has always been a straight man, although sometimes he feels that Peter is more gay than him, but it is also It's just a joke or a joke. The members of Peter's websites and the female stars he likes are enough to prove his sexual orientation.

This is the reason why Joey never thought about it. He didn't think Peter would like him. He always thought that it was as if he was simply getting along with Peter as a friend. Peter also had this idea. of.

However, what happened today broke what he had always thought.

If he thought Peter was joking when he was kissed on the cheek by Peter, then when Peter confessed to him, he couldn't take it as a joke.

He couldn't, and didn't want to, take this as a joke.

No matter how others think Joey doesn't care, for him, if the confessor's attitude is serious, then he should also treat this matter with a cautious attitude.

Especially when the person is his best friend.

Joey had to admit that even though he was shocked, confused and tangled after Peter confessed, he didn't hate Peter because of it. After excluding all factors, and looking at it purely from an objective point of view, Joey found that he didn't Hence the idea of ​​staying away from Peter arose.

Joey felt that the temperature on his face should have dropped a bit, he took a deep breath, and finally raised his head again, no longer buried his face in his arms.

He pinched the bridge of his nose, tried his best to calm himself down, and took a good look at the matter between him and Peter. He couldn't always avoid it like this.

To be honest, for a moment, he even felt that what Peter said was quite reasonable, and he was also shaken.

But at the same time, at this moment, Joey thought about it carefully, and he felt that he could not promise Peter.

Because after a failed unrequited love, Joey doesn't feel ready for a new relationship right away.

Peter is very good. He has a cheerful personality and is very kind. Although Joey talks a lot, he doesn't hate him. He and Peter also get along very well. The two have many similar hobbies, but...

It can only be said that this time is wrong, Joey does not want to fall in love for the time being.

So before going to bed, Joey felt that when he saw Peter again, he had to tell him what he thought. He had to tell Peter that it would be better for them to be good friends, and he had no intention of falling in love now.

The next day, because of his habit of running in the morning, Joey got up early. Before going out, he stood in front of the mirror and looked carefully, straightened his chest, and looked at himself in the mirror. After confirming that his expression was normal , he took a step to leave the dormitory.

As a result, he got up a little too early today, and there were only two or three scattered people on the playground. Joey ran slowly while thinking about how he would talk to Peter later.

Just when he was distracted, he only felt a heat on his cheek, something warm touched his right cheek, and he raised his hand reflexively to grab it, but it touched the other hand.

When he turned his head, he saw Peter appearing beside him at some point, and he showed him a bright smile, and said in his usual relaxed and lively tone, "Good morning, Joe."

Joey answered subconsciously, "Morning."

"You came a little early today." Peter said, his attitude was very natural, as if nothing happened, but the way he looked at Joey was indeed different.

"I..." Joey's expression was a little unnatural, especially when he looked at Peter, his lips parted slightly, and he wanted to tell Peter his decision.

"Hey, try it, huh?" Peter picked up a carton of milk in his hand, inserted the straw into it, and handed it to Joey, blinking his eyes and saying this, interrupting Joey's words.

Joey frowned. He realized that Peter did it on purpose, but he looked into Peter's brown eyes. After a while, his shoulders relaxed, and he reached out to take it. Warmth, obviously, this carton of milk has been carefully heated.

Joey took a sip. The milk tasted mellow and slightly sweet, which was in line with Joey's taste, which made Joey feel a little complicated.

He had to say that he never thought that Peter would still take care of people like this one day, especially when he was the one being taken care of, he could feel Peter's changes even more.

"Peter, I—"

Joey couldn't finish his thoughts in the end, because when he decided to speak again, the phone ringing interrupted him.

At first, when Joey took out his phone, he didn't think about it. Peter's affairs were more important to him, but when he saw the note, his expression changed slightly.

It's Steve on the phone.

Peter also saw the remark above. If possible, Peter wanted to reach out and hang it up. Even Spiderman would become cautious when facing a rival in love, but Peter finally opened his mouth to remind the stupefied Joe. Yi, "Don't answer?"

Joey regained his senses, connected the phone, put it to his ear, and Steve's voice came from the other end of the phone.

Peter consciously stepped back for a certain distance. He walked casually with his hands behind his back, but his eyes kept looking at Joey. He noticed Joey's slightly frowned brows and the straight line of his lips. Not long after, Joey opened his mouth and said what.

It was very short, even this sentence took less than two seconds. Peter guessed that the answer was yes or no. Then he put down his phone when he saw Joey, looked in Peter's direction, hesitation appeared on his face, and he walked away. come over.

This is probably the first time Joey took the initiative to approach me today, Peter thought.

"I have to leave..." Joey licked the corner of his lips. He looked at Peter, and for some reason, couldn't help but added in a low voice, "Sorry."

Peter looked at him in silence, and when Joey felt a little guilty for no reason, he suddenly smiled again, "Actually, you don't need to apologize to me for this kind of thing, Joe," he said, turning to Joey Blinking, "You are single now, you are free."

After Joey left, the smile on Peter's face immediately collapsed and his cheeks puffed up.

As he said, Joey is still single, Peter has no reason to stop Joey's behavior, and he can't request to go with Joey, so Peter thinks he might as well be more generous.

Of course, this didn't affect Peter's feeling as if he had been poured lemonade down his stomach. It was still the condensed kind, with complex emotions constantly rolling in his chest.

To be clearer -

Yes, he was jealous.

Before Joey left the playground, the milk carton in his hand was still warm to the touch, which made him pause for a moment, and raised the idea of ​​looking back at Peter, but in the end he shook his head and threw it away. With this thought in mind, he walked towards the school gate.

The state university in the morning seemed much quieter than before. When Joey walked to the school gate, he saw Steve standing there. He was wearing a hat. When Joey saw him, he raised his hand He pulled the brim of his hat.

Joey looked past him and landed on the beautiful woman next to him, but he happened to meet her eyes. He saw the other person raised his eyebrows, then reached out and patted Steve, and Steve looked in Joey's direction come over.

After 10 minutes, three people sat in the cafe, the waiter came over and asked what they wanted to drink, and left quickly after getting a reply.

Then the three of them fell silent for a while, and no one spoke until the waiter brought up the drinks they ordered.

Natasha sighed silently. Just as she opened her mouth to break the atmosphere, Joey, who was looking down at the table, made a move. He raised his eyes to look at the two people sitting opposite him.

"What are you trying to tell me?"

Steve straightened his back, and after hearing Joey speak, he said without thinking, "About the thing you saw me kissing Natasha before, I want to say that it was not what you thought it was. , I am not a couple with her."

"Yes," Natasha propped her cheeks, she looked at Joey, with a kind smile in her eyes, and said slightly teasingly, "I don't like people with Steve's personality, I can talk to Joey You promise, Joey, he and I are definitely not lovers."

"Actually, in my opinion, another colleague of mine is much better than him," Natasha shrugged, her voice was a little hoarse, but it didn't sound ugly, "although he always becomes a big Dude, but pretty cute most of the time, much cuter than Steve, at least in my opinion, and we did that to avoid some chase."

"After you said those words, I have thought about it carefully. If you just don't believe me, then what the other party told you may be different," Steve paused, his blue eyes Looking at Joey, his expression was very serious, "Joe, I really didn't lie to you, I have never been in two boats."

"I know." Joey said.

Under the surprised gazes of Steve and Natasha, he repeated, "I knew you and her were not lovers after I went back to school."

Natasha pushed Steve under the table with her hand. She felt that she was really tired, and she had to signal Steve not to be dazed, and to say something quickly. Under Natasha's reminder, Steve spoke quickly , "You, how did you know?"

Natasha:  …

She had the urge to touch her forehead, oh my god, did this man only think of asking this, in this case, asking such temporarily irrelevant things?

"Insight plan."

Steve was even more surprised, his blue eyes widened slightly, and subconsciously said, "How could you—"

"When Tony was helping you," Joey interrupted him, and said slowly, "I hacked into the SHIELD system and found the wanted warrant, and that day in the mall, I also saw people from SHIELD ,so--"

"As long as you think about this, you can realize that you may not be a couple, but more importantly," Joey pursed his lips, and he looked at Steve with complicated eyes, "I want to believe that I like people are not the kind of people who are emotionally mean."

Natasha nodded secretly, thinking that she should be able to exit.

"Now that the misunderstanding between you has been cleared up, cough, I remembered that I have something to do, I'm sorry to have to leave first." Natasha stood up, and before leaving, she winked at Steve, signaling him to seize the opportunity.

So three people became two people.

Steve's hands under the table were clasped together, he felt that he was starting to get a little nervous, he cleared his throat, and when he was about to say something, Joey whispered, "About what happened that morning , I think I should say sorry to you."

Steve shook his head immediately, "No, it's because of my previous behavior that you misunderstood, and it's not just your fault."

"Anyway, what I said at the time was indeed a bit too much."

There was a smile on Steve's face, and his tone was gentle and authentic, "It's okay, I never minded what you said at the time, at least the misunderstanding between us is over, isn't it?"

"...Yes." Joey smiled slightly.

After seeing the smile on Joey's face, Steve finally stopped being so nervous. He coughed and said a little nervously, "Joe, there is one more thing I want to tell you about the last time we ended abruptly. Topic, I-"

He observed Joey's face. It was because Joey's sudden anger last time made him feel a little terrified. Even if the misunderstanding is resolved now, Steve became cautious when he said these words. He didn't want to make Joey angry. Angry again.

He hoped that all he could bring to Joey was happiness.

"—what I want to tell you is," Steve's blue eyes focused on Joey opposite him, his tone became gentle and low, "I don't know if you still have feelings for me, but My mind has changed, and I find I like you, Joe."

"Are you still willing to give me this chance?"
