Xiangyu

Before seeing the sunlight outside the window, Qiao Yusong opened his eyes, and what he saw first was the back of Song Yuqiao standing in front of the window.

He was taken aback, and quickly grabbed his phone to check the time. He was relieved when he saw that it was nine o'clock, which was not too late.

Song Yuqiao heard the sound, turned his head and smiled at him, and said, "Good morning."

This was the first time Qiao Yusong saw him when he just woke up. Thinking of this, Qiao Yusong smiled shyly and said, "Good morning. Have you washed?"

"Not yet." Song Yuqiao walked to the bathroom, passed in front of him, and said, "It's raining."

Hearing this, Qiao Yusong was taken aback and almost jumped up from the bed.He looked out of the window. Although there were no water droplets on the glass, the sky was gray.

how so?Qiao Yusong rubbed his face in frustration, knelt down and shouted towards the bathroom, "Are you still going out?"

"Don't go out, what do you want to do at home?" Song Yuqiao leaned half of his body out of the bathroom door, squeezed toothpaste and asked with a smile.

After hearing this, Qiao Yusong blushed and said, "Let me see where I can go."

After all, they haven't gotten to the point where they're in the same room with nothing to do and still get by.Although Song Yuqiao probably meant it as a joke when he asked like that, but Qiao Yusong couldn't deny that staying at home with Song Yuqiao made him more nervous than going out on a date.

There are not many friends who make friends with Qiao Yusong, but there are quite a few friends who eat and drink together.Qiao Yusong asked in the group if there was a restaurant with a good reputation nearby, and soon got several replies, including Japanese food, Western food, Cantonese food, and of course hot pot.

He got out of bed, went outside the bathroom door, and asked, "Szechuan food for lunch?"

Song Yuqiao turned on the razor, shaved off the stubble that appeared in the morning, and replied, "I can do anything."

He answered too easily, without thinking at all, which made Qiao Yusong uncertain.

The sound of the electric shaver was very soft, but no one spoke, and even such a soft sound became abrupt.Qiao Yusong opened his mouth, but closed his mouth after seeing Song Yuqiao in the mirror.He hastily looked away, but after all, because he felt that Song Yuqiao hadn't noticed, he secretly looked again.

Song Yuqiao's raised face brought out the coherent and graceful lines of his jaw and neck. Qiao Yusong watched the razor move on his jaw, and the subtle sound inexplicably amplified a lot in his mind.

Buzzing... buzzing... very noisy.

The moment the sound stopped, Qiao Yusong quickly recovered and looked at Song Yuqiao in the mirror.

Song Yuqiao said with certainty: "I really can do anything."

"Okay." Qiao Yusong hesitated for a moment, and suggested, "Then let's go to the afternoon show after dinner? A few of my friends have gone to see the play by Yixiao Dafang Repertory Troupe, and they say it's pretty good. Or what movie would you like to see?"

Song Yuqiao picked up the aftershave spray and looked at him questioningly.

He nodded, indicating that he could use it.

"Let's watch the show." There was only one option and a fill-in-the-blank option, and Song Yuqiao felt that that option was the answer the questioner most wanted.

Qiao Yusong had wanted to watch that play since he was still in Xijin, but unfortunately, the repertory troupe went to Xijin every year for a tour, but he couldn't catch it. After coming to Jinrong, he never had time.Now not only is the play happening right now, but he can also watch it with Song Yuqiao. Qiao Yusong said happily, "Then I'll buy the ticket."

"Okay." Seeing him excitedly buying tickets with his mobile phone, and not even brushing his teeth after getting up, Song Yuqiao knew he had made the right decision.

Once he started to arrange a date schedule, Qiao Yusong found himself very sophisticated.He has been in love for many years and has dated countless times.But when facing Song Yuqiao, he couldn't help but become a little "pretentious". He was worried that his arrangements would not meet Song Yuqiao's wishes, and he was also worried that being too skilled would make Song Yuqiao feel "well-versed".

As a result, his posture was always oscillating between excitement and hesitation, and even the easy and appropriate suggestion turned into a cautious request: "Let's have a simple lunch at noon, and we can go to the show at three o'clock in the afternoon. Hours, it can always end before six o'clock. Shall we have a good dinner?"

At the end of his speech, his voice faded away.Song Yuqiao regretted: "We can't have dinner together, I have to go back tonight."

"Tonight?" Qiao Yusong was stunned, but after thinking about it, he took it for granted.He flies four times a day and takes two days off. There is no distinction between weekdays and weekends, but Song Yuqiao is different. He has to go to work on weekdays.

Thinking of this, Qiao Yusong smiled awkwardly, concealing his disappointment, and said, "That's right, tomorrow is Thursday. You have to go to work."

Song Yuqiao nodded, seeing his forced smile, comforted him and said, "Let's find another chance to have dinner next time."

He said he was going on a date, and Qiao Yusong took it for granted that it was a date all day.why?Because I used to date—almost every date, all day.

Qiao Yusong had two relationships in the past, and almost every date would last until the next day.He and his ex-boyfriend maintain a tacit understanding that is taken for granted and eager for success. Eating, shopping, watching movies, and finally having sex is a must, as if that is the full set of adult love in this fast food era.

There are no exceptions, yes, Qiao Yusong decided after thinking back, unless the relationship is terminally ill and on the eve of the end, otherwise it must be such a complete dating process.

When Song Yuqiao proposed a date, although Qiao Yusong didn't think about whether he would go to bed in the end, he also didn't think that the date would end before midnight, and they couldn't even have dinner together.

I don't know when the next meeting will be. Qiao Yusong really wants to open the scheduling software immediately to see if there is an overnight flight to Xijin in the next round.

"Well, good." Qiao Yusong took a deep breath, shrugged his shoulders, and said pretending to be relaxed, "There is no way, it can only be like this."

His relaxation was not so thorough. After laughing, his brows were full of regret. Song Yuqiao touched his face and asked, "The drama I watched in the afternoon sounds like a comedy?"

Qiao Yusong cheered up and nodded.

"That's good." Song Yuqiao explained with a smile, "I want to make you happy, but I'm not very good at making people laugh."

After hearing this, he was slightly taken aback, and said with a broken smile, "Stop coming."

The place Qiao Yusong chose to have lunch is near the theater, which can be reached by two subway stops.If it is normal, he thinks it would be better to take a car there, but the road is being built near the bachelor apartment, so it is better to take the subway directly.

He asked Song Yuqiao for his opinion, and the answer he got was no opinion.So even after deciding to take the subway, Qiao Yusong still didn't feel the joy of going out on a date together.The reason may be that Song Yuqiao's "no achievements", or that he suddenly learned that Song Yuqiao had to go back to Tianjin at night, and he was not sure.

It may be that his expectations were too high at the beginning, so when Song Yuqiao's answers were all "anything", "anything is fine", "I'm fine", Qiao Yusong suddenly felt like he was leading a puppet out of the house .He didn't even hold the puppet's hand.

When they ordered food in the restaurant, Song Yuqiao ordered two hard dishes at Qiao Yusong's request. Qiao Yusong also didn't see his expectations for lunch.

"Not delicious?" This is a restaurant recommended by several of Qiao Yusong's friends, but Song Yuqiao's calm eating made him worry that he might have chosen the wrong place.

Song Yuqiao shook his head and said, "No, it's delicious."

Qiao Yusong looked at him dubiously, but didn't see any perfunctory on his face, so he couldn't help being even more discouraged.

"What's the matter?" Song Yuqiao saw that his mood was fading, thought for a while, and explained, "I'm sorry, I should have told you earlier, I have to go back tonight."

Hearing this, Qiao Yusong was startled.Knowing that Song Yuqiao would misunderstand, he shook his head and said, "It's okay."

Song Yuqiao looked at him incredulously.

Knowing that what he said was not convincing, Qiao Yusong hesitated, and asked, "Did you do the same when you dated your ex?" Seeing that Song Yuqiao was puzzled, he further said, "I won't take the initiative, I just wait to hear everything." arrange."

Never expecting that he would say that, Song Yuqiao was stunned for a moment after hearing this, then laughed and said, "Am I not active enough?"

"No." How could Qiao Yusong deny his initiative?He has taken the initiative more than once to directly

It made him feel overwhelmed and exhilarated. Because of this, Qiao Yusong didn't know how to explain his mood to him at this time.

He lowered his head and helplessly poked the white rice in front of him. After a while, he smiled bitterly and said, "Maybe my ex-boyfriends were too proactive."

The first time he heard him bring up his ex, Song Yuqiao had a bad premonition in his heart while being curious.He frowned.

"Dating in the past was all about them thinking about what to eat and what to do. It was enough for me to show up. Like today, the plans I made were actually the accumulated experience of dating them. I'm used to it. As long as I think about dating, It takes it for granted that I should do this, like going through a process. As for whether you like it or not, it doesn't matter or care. Is it the same for you?" Qiao Yusong looked at him hesitantly, "You really don't OK'? Does it all 'doesn't matter', 'anything is okay'?"

For some reason, when Qiao Yusong complained about this, Song Yuqiao actually thought of Gu Huizhi.To be precise, he remembered Gu Huizhi's message.

After reading that message at the time, Song Yuqiao felt that such admonishment was insignificant to a relationship that had ended.But he didn't expect that it would become a problem at the beginning of another relationship.

"If I say 'yes', I'm afraid you will only be more disappointed?" Song Yuqiao said, sandwiching a piece of spicy chicken into Qiao Yusong's bowl, "What kind of love do you want? Like the ones you see in those comics. Is that so?"

Hearing this, Qiao Yusong looked at him in shock.He heard it right, Qiao Yusong was sure that he heard it right, Song Yuqiao's implication was that he was making trouble for no reason.

Thinking of this, Qiao Yusong smiled wryly.That's right, this is the Song Yuqiao he likes, the same as it was 13 years ago. 13 years ago, Qiao Yusong decided that even if he liked him, it was impossible to be with him, and it is the same now.

Qiao Yusong didn't feel the spicyness of the dishes with chili as the condiment after eating half the meal.But at this moment, Qiao Yusong was scorched by the heat from the inside out. He clearly felt the heat on the tips of his ears, and he expected his face to be flushed.

He looked at Song Yuqiao with wide eyes and said, "I didn't want a 'what' relationship, but do you think we are in love now? Do you know? Although I have already bought the tickets for the drama, I have been worrying about it since just now. .I don’t want to watch it now. I’m worried that if you go, you will be as indifferent as you are now, and I will be the only one laughing at that time, which would be very silly.”

Song Yuqiao was tired of listening, and said helplessly: "You care too much about my feelings. You don't need to do this."

"How could you not care? I like you!" Qiao Yusong shouted unbearably.

Hearing this, Song Yuqiao was stunned.In the next second, he found that the guests sitting at the next table, whether they were old men gathering for drinks or couples having dinner on a date, were all looking at them blankly.

Qiao Yusong followed Song Yuqiao's eyes and turned his head, seeing the curious and shocked faces, his face flushed with shame, and he wanted to find a crack in the ground to get in.

"Maybe it's a cliché to say that, but when I'm with you, I really don't care what I do." Seeing his face flushed with embarrassment, Song Yuqiao couldn't help laughing.

Qiao Yusong pulled out some rationality from the embarrassing state, and muttered: "But you don't look very happy."

Song Yuqiao laughed and said, "You've always been very happy, aren't you just a fool?"

This was clearly not what he wanted to express, but he knew he couldn't explain it clearly to Song Yuqiao, so he sighed, shook his head, and gave up.

"Do you remember that we went to the movies together one year? The time Song Yan let us go." Song Yuqiao asked.

What "one year"?They only saw a movie together once.Qiao Yusong didn't know why he mentioned that day, so he nodded.

Song Yuqiao said: "I was very happy that day, but can you see it?"

He was happy that day?Looking back, Qiao Yusong didn't feel it at all.But if he pointed out that Song Yuqiao was lying, it would just prove that he couldn't see it at the same time.

"I can't tell." He thought for a while, then changed his words, "I forgot."

Song Yu

Qiao was stunned when he heard that, seeing his perfunctory attitude, he couldn't help but feel a little disappointed.

If Qiao Yusong liked him as early as high school, how could he forget?It was one of the few times they got together alone. Song Yuqiao thought that as long as Qiao Yusong had been interested in him since then, he would definitely remember it.Now that Qiao Yusong said to forget, maybe that day was really not important to him, and his heartbeat originated from other opportunities.

Disappointment and curiosity appeared in Song Yuqiao's mind at the same time. He smiled sarcastically and said, "Really? I remember it quite clearly. Although I seldom think about it later, if you ask me what happened that day now, I will I can still say it."

Qiao Yusong felt nervous and ashamed for no reason because he didn't shy away from it or conceal it, and began to regret that he said he forgot.I'm sorry for Song Yuqiao, and even more sorry for himself.

"But it's true, nothing special happened that day, it's normal to forget." Song Yuqiao smiled lightly, "What I want to say is, if you couldn't see that I was happy that day, you wouldn't be able to see it now. Because I have never Change."
