Luo Rui brought them a piece of cake, and then the three of them went to eat hot pot together.
While eating, Wen Xiaohui's cheeks hurt badly, but he still insisted on eating. Luo Rui was moved by this infirm spirit. He already possessed the attributes of a wife, but at this moment, he had superimposed a maternal attack, turning all his flesh Wen Xiaohui cut all the vegetables into small pieces, so he almost fed them into his mouth.
After eating half full, Wen Xiaohui slowed down and started chatting: "Little Mom, did Brother Liu ask you out later?"
"An appointment." Luo Rui's soft lips were reddened by the pepper, and he pouted, "The others think it's pretty good."
"but… ?"
Luo Rui put down his chopsticks, lowered his voice and said, "He seems to be going bald."
Wen Xiaohui almost sprayed: "Really?"
"Really, I saw it." Luo Rui said depressedly, "This is unbearable."
Wen Xiaohui laughed sullenly.
"Don't laugh."
Luo Yi also smiled and said, "If you have a crush on him, it's not a big problem."
"That's the way it is... But he's not yet thirty, and he's bald at such a young age. What will he do in the future?"
Luo Yi said: "How did you know each other? Are you satisfied in other aspects?"
"Others are okay, it was introduced to me by Li Shuo."
"... Li Shuo?" Luo Yi looked at Wen Xiaohui, "That American accountant? Have you met him again?"
"Ah, yes, didn't he say he wanted to introduce his friend to us, so we had a meal together before."
"Oh." Luo Yi's "Oh" always made me feel a little meaningful.
Luo Rui said excitedly: "Let's not talk about this, you and Li Shuo are making good progress, I feel quite hopeful."
Luo Yi's hand holding the vegetables paused slightly, and he retracted it. He picked up the teacup in a concealed manner, blocking his expression at that moment.
Wen Xiaohui smiled and said, "Oh, I haven't written the horoscope yet, let's look around."
Luo Rui stretched out three fingers: "Three days, if he asks you out within three days, he must be interested in you."
"You're reading some messy sex books again."
"But some of them are quite reasonable."
Wen Xiaohui rolled his eyes straight: "Can you be more motherly!"
"Is it interesting for you to laugh at a hundred steps at fifty steps!"
Luo Yi put down his teacup and said peacefully, "How are you and Li Shuo progressing?"
Wen Xiaohui said lightly, "There's really not much progress, it just feels like we have more to say than we did at the beginning, let's just let it take its course."
"Do you think you know him?"
Wen Xiaohui thought for a while: "I think he is very nice and capable."
"People can't just look at their appearance. The smarter they are, the better they can pretend. They know what you want, and they will pretend to be what you want." Luo Yi looked deeply at Wen Xiaohui, "So when you meet People should pay more attention to things.”
Wen Xiaohui was startled: "Ah, I know, of course I know this."
"Take me to have a meal with Li Shuo when you have time." Luo Yi said.
Wen Xiaohui suddenly felt his heart beating faster, and an instinctive voice told him not to let Luo Yi and Li Shuo meet, but he didn't even know why, or rather, he didn't dare to think about why. He refused without hesitation: "Bi, we have only met two or three times in total, and we are just ordinary friends. If what happens in the future, see you soon."
Luo Yi's chopsticks were gently stirring the dipping sauce in the bowl: "Li Shuo is different."
"What's the difference?"
"I think you like him a lot."
Wen Xiaohui laughed dryly: "I don't like him, at least not now, but I have a good impression of him. Besides, if I like him, he must also like me. This is not something you can get hot on your head, so why worry?"
"I'll love it."
"Um?"
Luo Yi's chopsticks poked a section of red pepper, and the body of the pepper was crushed ruthlessly. Luo Yi used so much force that his finger bones turned innocent. He lowered his head and said softly: " He will like you."
"… Why?"
Luo Rui also stared at Luo Yi in a daze, looking at Luo Yi's stiff jaw line, although he didn't know what Luo Yi's expression was at the moment, but he was inexplicably flustered.
Luo Yi raised his head at this time, his smile was like a shard of sunshine, warm and dazzling: "You are a very good person, as long as he really knows you, he will like you."
Wen Xiaohui felt his cheeks burn, he should be very happy - he was indeed happy - but at the same time he was a little confused, because he didn't know if he was happy because Luo Yi said that Li Shuo would like him, or simply because of Luo Yi's praise.
Luo Rui opened his mouth slightly and looked at the two of them, he was stunned, and his eyebrows were slowly furrowed.
After dinner, Luo Yi and Wen Xiaohui went home, and the moment they sat on the back seat of the bicycle, Wen Xiaohui suddenly said with emotion: "Have we known each other for a year?"
"yes."
"Time flies by so fast." He never thought before that there would be a strange boy parachuted into his life and become his indispensable relative and friend. He can still remember the first time he met Luo Luo. The scene when Yi met, and sitting on the back seat of Luo Yi's bicycle, the wind blowing his cheeks and the taste of the faint sunshine.
"It's really fast." Luo Yi added, "In another year and a half, I will be 18 years old."
"Are you looking forward to becoming an adult? I don't want to grow up after I'm sixteen. It would be great if I could always look fresh and young. Unfortunately, sixteen years old seems to be yesterday, and four years are gone in the blink of an eye. "
"It's better for a man to be more mature."
Wen Xiaohui chuckled: "That's right. Besides, after you turn 18, you can officially inherit the inheritance. Are you looking forward to it?"
"Um."
Wen Xiaohui poked Luo Yi's spine with his finger: "Are you really looking forward to it? I feel that you don't like money very much. You are so smart. You will never be short of money in this life. It’s unbelievable to say that you pay attention to food or clothing, and there are still people like you who treat money like dung in the world.”
"Money is an indispensable tool. There is no distinction between whether you like a tool or not. You should pay attention to its purpose, usage, and amount."
"Tsk, you are playing advanced again."
Luo Yi smiled lightly.
"But I like money, it's great to have money, I have so many things I like, I really want to move them all back home." Wen Xiaohui said expectantly, "After you turn eighteen, I can also get my sister's gift. My money is gone, how do you think I should spend it?"
"You can buy whatever you want, isn't that what you want?"
"I want to buy a cool sports car, then sweep through the makeup counters, and go to Lufthansa to pick things up with my eyes closed..." Wen Xiaohui thought of the beautiful scene, and even his expression became dreamy.
Luo Yi smiled and said, "Okay."
Wen Xiaohui lusted for a while before he said seriously: "Just talking, how dare I spend such a large amount of money recklessly. When you become an adult, our custody contract will be terminated automatically. At that time, I will go to my mother Plead guilty, give her the money and the house, I have lied to her for so long, and I have always felt guilty."
"I can go with you if you wish."
"Let's talk about it, maybe my mother doesn't want to see you, but I will try my best to let her accept you, and sooner or later we can celebrate the New Year together."
Luo Yi was silent for a while: "You still remember."
"Remember what?"
"Celebrate the New Year together."
"I remember, why don't I remember." Wen Xiaohui said with a smile, "I will never forget what I promised you."
"... We can definitely celebrate the New Year together."
When he got home, Luo Yi tied the anti-swelling medicine bag with ice cubes and asked Wen Xiaohui to apply it to his face. Wen Xiaohui lay on the bed and listened to music. After calming down, his sensory perception attracted people's attention. As he sang, he began to change his tune into a wail.
Luo Yi's hand gently touched his forehead: "Does it still hurt?"
"No, it's too cold."
"You don't have to stick to it all the time." Luo Yi pushed his hand away, and poked his cheeks, his eyes were frankly concerned and distressed, which made Wen Xiaohui very heartwarming.
"Actually, it's not a big deal. It will be fine in a few days. You go to take a bath. It's so late."
"Yeah." Luo Yi covered his cheeks with his hands for a while, and then went to take a bath.
Wen Xiaohui didn't want to apply any more, and planned to get up to find some water to drink. He was thinking about all kinds of messy things, so he poured a cup of hot water absent-mindedly, forgetting how hot it was, and directly put it into his mouth. The moment the frozen and numb cheeks touched, he hadn't reacted yet, but soon the burning pain in his mouth spread, and he yelled loudly, spraying all the water out of his mouth.
The bathroom door was opened, and Luo Yi rushed out naked, covered in water, "Brother Xiaohui, what's wrong with you?"
Wen Xiaohui was holding the table to fan his mouth, when he looked up, he saw a slender, strong white body appearing in front of him, his eyes almost popped out, especially when he saw the big baby dangling between Luo Yi's legs From time to time... Wen Xiaohui's face suddenly burned, and he knelt on the ground as soon as his knees softened, not daring to raise his head.
Luo Yi thought he was scalded, so he nervously came over to help him: "Brother Xiaohui, what's wrong with you?"
"It's okay, it's burning my mouth." Wen Xiaohui accidentally grabbed his wet arm, and retreated like an electric shock, "You, you, clothes, clothes."
Luo Yi turned a deaf ear and just asked, "Are you sure you're okay?"
"I'm really fine, oops, put on your clothes quickly."
Luo Yi let out a laugh.
Wen Xiaohui became angry from embarrassment: "Smiling ass, I'm born crooked, please avoid it for a while."
Luo Yi turned around to get dressed, Wen Xiaohui clenched his fists and struggled a bit, but he still couldn't help but raise his head quietly, looking from bottom to top, first a pair of straight and strong long legs, then back to back can The dangling dangling between the legs that can be vaguely seen...
In Wen Xiaohui's heart, countless sloppy horses galloped past, oh shit, the agreed upon underage!
He couldn't help looking up, and suddenly, his whole body froze.
Luo Yi's back has a tattoo of a strange beast, about the size of a human head, almost occupying the entire left shoulder. Looking carefully, the tattoo is not flat, it seems to be tattooed on the basis of some kind of wound, so it looks extraordinarily ferocious Terrible, in addition to that, there are some scars on the back.
Wen Xiaohui's brain was buzzing, and his heart was beating violently like a drum. The two lived together for a year, and he had never seen Luo Yi's naked back, and he had once told him that Luo Yi would wear a vest under his shirt in summer, and he never expected that Luo Yi's queen The back will hide such a...
Luo Yi's back suddenly stopped.
Wen Xiaohui also froze, his tense tongue was dry, and he didn't dare to breathe, as if he had glimpsed a secret that he shouldn't know.
Luo Yi slowly turned his face away, his deep eyes still shining brightly under the dim light, he smiled slightly: "You take a peek."
Wen Xiaohui felt chills all over his body, it was obviously a smile that was not much different from usual, but there was a trace of chill in his eyes, even the upturned corners of his lips and the teasing in his tone made Wen Xiaohui feel terrified! He trembled almost instinctively and said, "I'm sorry."
Luo Yi picked up the bathrobe and put it on his body, then walked back, helped Wen Xiaohui with weak legs to sit on the bed, and said softly, "Did it scare you?"
Wen Xiaohui nodded, then quickly shook his head, he felt regretful, regretted why he showed fear, why was he afraid of Luo Yi? How hurtful.
Luo Yi held his hand and said in a hoarse voice, "I'm afraid to scare you, so I don't want to tell you."
"...were you injured?"
Luo Yi nodded: "Burn."
"How did you hurt?"
"A car accident."
"...so you're afraid of cars?"
Luo Yi said with a smile: "I'm not afraid of cars, I just think that there is no need to use a car in many cases, so I try not to use it as much as possible."
"Why... a car accident."
"Forgot, it was too young."
"That tattoo..."
"The man thought the scar was too ugly, so he covered it up with a tattoo."
Wen Xiaohui asked almost mechanically: "What was stabbed?"
"Qongqi. An ancient ferocious beast, the incarnation of the most evil."
Wen Xiaohui's eyebrows twisted: "Why did you have this tattooed on you!" What kind of father would tattoo a beast on his son? Generally, even if you want a tattoo, you will choose auspicious beasts such as unicorns and phoenixes.
Luo Yi didn't care: "Maybe I hope I'm better. Anyway, I can't usually see it, and neither can others. It's no big deal."
Wen Xiaohui couldn't help hugging his head, his body trembling uncontrollably.
Luo Yi also hugged him back, and said with a light smile, "What's wrong?"
"That man is not worthy of being a father." Wen Xiaohui said.
A cold light flashed in Luo Yi's eyes, and he responded lightly: "Yes."
"I'm not scared, this tattoo is actually pretty cool." Wen Xiaohui wrapped his hands around his back and covered the tattoo with his palm.
Luo Yi's body was slightly stunned, thick skin had grown from the burn, and there were tattoos, and he had lost sixty to seventy percent of his sense of touch, but at this moment he could clearly feel the temperature of Wen Xiaohui's palm, and through that The ugly scars penetrated directly into his body, and he unconsciously tightened his arms, hugging the slender body in his arms even tighter.
That night, Wen Xiaohui suffered from insomnia again. During this period of time, he always suffered from insomnia, and he couldn't help it, because there were too many things on his mind, and he couldn't help thinking about it. The reason for his insomnia tonight was naturally because he accidentally glimpsed the secret behind Luo Yi's back, but what made it even more difficult for him to fall asleep was how many secrets Luo Yi still had that he didn't know.
He used to think that he could easily define Luo Yi. He was a sunny, considerate, smart, perfect boy who had a lonely childhood but could still be gentle with others. But the more he got along with him, the more he discovered that his understanding of Luo Yi, Might just scratch the surface. Luo Yi's background, family background, past, personality, and thoughts are always beyond his expectations, and his understanding of Luo Yi has been refreshed repeatedly, so that now he has doubts about his own judgment and Luo Yi's whole person. This kind of suspicion made him very painful, because he already regarded Luo Yi as a relative, and he didn't want to doubt his relatives. What's more, even if it proved that Luo Yi was not as pure and kind as he imagined, at least Luo Yi was impeccable towards him. These contradictions troubled him deeply, and he wanted to break his head, but he didn't know how to deal with it.
Was he wrong at the beginning, the whole thing, from the moment he agreed to take care of Luo Yi, was he wrong? After all, he never thought about what it means to "raise" a person.
While Wen Xiaohui was waiting for his face to subside, half of the time he stayed at Xiao Ai's house, but he made Luo Yi think that he was going home. He didn't want to admit that he was running away from Luo Yi, so he made an excuse for himself—for Accompany Xiaoai.
During this period, Li Shuo called him and told him that the matter of Xiao Ai's ex-boyfriend was settled, and he paid a little medical expenses, and the other party was also wronged, so he just had to stay away from each other from now on.
Wen Xiaohui felt very embarrassed, and at the same time, he became more and more fond of Li Shuo. A mature man who is responsible is popular everywhere, not to mention that Li Shuo is so perfect. At the same time, Li Shuo took the initiative to ask him to have dinner on the weekend. This was obviously something Wen Xiaohui had been looking forward to for a long time, but he was not very interested, but he still agreed.
After Luo Rui's dessert shop opened, the business was booming, and he was so busy that he was dizzy. He ignored Wen Xiaohui for several days.
Luo Rui was baking a cake and didn't have time to accompany him, so he had to pull him into the kitchen and chat with him while working: "Oh, don't stand here, it's too much of a hindrance."
Wen Xiaohui said angrily: "Is there such a wife as you, shouldn't you listen to your husband at a time like this!"
Luo Rui rolled his eyes at him: "You tell me, I'll listen."
Wen Xiaohui told Luo Rui the secret behind Luo Yi.
"Oh my God, it's so pitiful." Our Lady Luo Rui's heart overflowed, "How old was he when he got into a car accident, so pitiful."
"He said he was very young, but I didn't ask." Wen Xiaohui twisted his fingers, "I think his biological father must be a very dangerous person."
"Didn't you already feel this?"
"I'm getting stronger and stronger."
"Don't worry, tiger poison doesn't eat its children."
Wen Xiaohui shook his head: "Do you know what is the most depressing thing for me right now?"
"What?"
"Yes, I found that all my understanding of Luo Yi may be one-sided. In fact, I don't understand him at all."
Luo Rui stopped working and looked at him fixedly: "I have the same idea as you."
"What do you see?"
"I am not sure."
"Tell me." Wen Xiaohui knew that Luo Rui was not very smart, but his mind was very delicate and sensitive. To put it bluntly, he had a keen intuition. Sometimes Luo Rui could feel many unreasonable things, and he often felt right.
Luo Rui said: "I told you, don't be scared."
"Tell me, what else can scare me now."
"I think Luo Yi likes you."
Wen Xiaohui stared at him fiercely.
"Why are you glaring at him!" Luo Rui covered his eyes and covered his face with flour, "Don't make such an expression, it's fierce and ugly."
Wen Xiaohui patted his hands away, wiped his face and said, "Don't talk nonsense."
"I'm not talking nonsense, I really think Luo Yi likes you, the way he looks at you, and his reaction when you mention Li Shuo, I think he's jealous. Xiaohui, I don't believe you don't feel that at all. No, unless you're blind."
Wen Xiaohui sighed heavily: "Actually... I also have a feeling that during the Chinese New Year, he did something with a very vague attitude. I thought he was too dependent on me, so I misunderstood it. The main reason is that I didn't dare to ask for proof. You It’s what I’m most afraid of.”
"Why are you afraid?" Luo Rui puzzled, "Xiao Hui, aren't you the most daring and self-contained, you have no blood relationship, and he treats you well, why can't he become a potential object. "
"I can't be sorry to my sister!" Wen Xiaohui said irritably, "I can't turn Luo Yi into a gay!"
"What nonsense are you talking about? There has never been such a thing as 'becoming gay'. If you are straight, you can't bend it. If you are curvy, you have to bend it. If Luo Yi wants to like you, it's not your fault. Why are you guilty. "
"It's easy to say, you're not me, you don't understand, my sister handed Luo Yi to me, it was Tuo Gu, I led his son into a bend, do I have the face to see her in the future?"
Luo Rui sighed: "Xiaohui, I really want to repeat to you all the words you comforted me at the beginning, why do you stick to these things? You don't care about the world at all, and as long as Luo Yi is happy, you will It doesn't count as disappointing your sister. The most important thing in this matter, in fact, is only one, that is, whether you like him or not. "
Wen Xiaohui felt that Luo Rui's words were like arrows hitting his head like a hornet's nest.
Luo Yi likes him? Does he like Luo Yi
He didn't know the first question, but both he and Luo Rui doubted it, and the second question...he also didn't know. There were times when Luo Yi moved his heart, and he even had a few unspeakable fantasies, but he always felt that this was his instinct as a man, and it didn't mean anything. He put Luo Yi in "" In the group that cannot be considered at all", force yourself to ignore it, and now let him drag Luo Yi out of the group? In addition to being at a loss, he was still at a loss.
Luo Rui touched his face: "Don't rush to come up with the answer. Whether you like it or not, this kind of thing has to go with the flow. You still have Li Shuo now, maybe you will like Li Shuo."
"Well, yes, Li Shuo." Li Shuo is more suitable for him, mature and steady.
"I'm telling you this just to let you pay attention. If you really really don't plan to have any development with Luo Yi, then you should pay attention to avoid suspicion and distance yourself appropriately."
Wen Xiaohui nodded in frustration.
Luo Rui smiled: "You are so depressed, you have emotional entanglements with the mature elite and handsome president and the genius gentle and beautiful Zhengtai respectively. This kind of thing makes me worry about it, okay?"
Wen Xiaohui burst out laughing.
Luo Rui kissed him softly: "I, Beibi, will definitely get the best love."
Wen Xiaohui also kissed him: "I, Beibi, too."
