Percy lay in the room for a day, excused not sleeping well, and even had her aunt bring her lunch to the room.
He didn't really want to think about Qi Xun's affairs. So many things happened from yesterday to today that his brain's memory was not enough.
But even if he was sitting on the carpet watching TV, he still couldn't get Qi Xun out of his mind.
There are mediocre idol dramas on TV, young and beautiful male and female protagonists meet in college, arguing about whether you love me or not.
And Percy looked at the camphor tree outside his window through the floor-to-ceiling window.
This camphor tree was transplanted when he was in high school. Six years later, the tree is already very tall, the pavilion is like a roof, and it is green all year round.
He remembered the question that Qi Xun asked when he brought him back this morning, and asked him why he liked him.
Just like what Qi Xun said, he and Qi Xun clearly didn't have much interaction when he was in high school. When he was in his second year of high school, Qi Xun was already in his freshman year, and it seemed that the two of them couldn't even hit each other.
But the liking of young people is often unreasonable. Sometimes it only needs a look, a hand in hand, or even a joke.
He didn't answer at the time, not because he felt ashamed to say it, he just felt that Qi Xun should have forgotten about this matter, and there was no need to say it.
Now he is sitting cross-legged on the carpet, with the graduation photo of his third year of high school on the opposite bookshelf, and the memory is flooding in like a flood.
He fell in love with Qi Xun, that is, in the winter of his third year of high school, the winter vacation, there are only seven or eight days left before the Spring Festival.
He was in a period of rebelliousness at that time, and he was arguing with his parents about what major to apply for in college. Once the war escalated, he simply slammed the door out in a fit of rage.
With gas in his heart, he walked along the street for a long time. When he stopped, he realized that he had already veered off the road and walked to a park far away from home.
It was very late, and there was no one around here, only the street lights were still on.
He sat on the bench in the square for a while, the weather was cold, and he ran out wearing only a sweater. It didn't take long for him to feel numb in his hands and feet. He got up and went to the vending machine next to him to buy himself a cup of hot coffee, but he was dumbfounded when he touched his trousers pocket. .
He forgot to bring his cell phone and change, and he looked all over his pocket and found only a key and a piece of chocolate.
He stared at the vending machine, not knowing what to do, and now there was no one around, but he didn't have the ability to conjure a mobile phone out of thin air, so he could only be stomped in place.
Just when he was debating whether to go to send Xiaoliang Song, a slender and fair hand stretched out beside him, holding the mobile phone, making a beep and scanning the code to pay.
He turned his head and saw a well-defined face, young, handsome, with a look of alienation in the corners of his eyes and brows, looking at him condescendingly.
It is Qi Xun.
At that time, he was not familiar with Qi Xun, but he did not know each other. On New Year's Day, his parents also attended the party held by Qi's family.
Qi Xun took out two cans of hot cocoa from the vending machine and stuffed a can into his hand.
He held the drink and looked at Qi Xun foolishly. He didn't know how to react for a while. After a while, he clumsily opened the can and took a sip.
"Thank you." He said to Qi Xun
Qi Xun took the cocoa but was not in a hurry to drink it. He looked up and down and asked, "You are the child of the Bai family, why are you here alone?"
Percy was stunned for a moment. Of course, he wouldn't say that he ran out after a fight with his parents. Hearing that would be very embarrassing.
But he wouldn't lie either, he faltered and said, "I'll go out for a walk and sit here for a while."
This is a lie, especially with his head down and stammering. Fortunately, Qi Xun didn't ask, so he didn't know whether to believe it or not.
He asked Qi Xun, "Why are you here?"
"I just came out of a friend's house, he lives nearby."
Qi Xun drank the hot cocoa in a few mouthfuls, then threw it into the trash can, sat down beside him, and asked, "Do you mind if I sit here for a while?"
Percy shook his head.
This square is not opened by his family, of course anyone can sit there.
The two of them sat quietly at both ends of the bench, not disturbing each other, Qi Xun didn't talk to him, just brushed his phone with his head down.
His profile face is very good-looking, and his eyelashes are very long. He just sits there without saying a word, like a landscape painting.
Percy was a little uncomfortable at first, but then he felt that it was fine to have someone by his side. It was past eleven o'clock in the evening, and there was silence and darkness. He was actually a little scared to sit alone.
Although Qi Xun looks thin, he knows that Qi Xun is proficient in sports and fighting, which gives people a sense of security.
He drank hot cocoa, lowered his head and thought about his own affairs, the major he wanted to apply for, his last mock exam results, and his parents said yesterday that they were free to take him and his sister on a trip.
His relationship with his parents is actually not bad, and his parents are not really unreasonable.
After thinking about it, his anger subsided a little, and he began to regret that he ran out like this.
And when he was wondering if he wanted to go back, he heard Qi Xun next to him suddenly ask him, "Are you out of your anger now, do you want me to take you home?"
Percy was stunned for a moment, and her face burned a little when she reacted, knowing that her just clumsy lie had been exposed long ago.
Qi Xun saw at a glance that he was having trouble with the family.
He was a little embarrassed, and just wanted to insist that he didn't need it, but there was an extra piece of clothing on his body.
Qi Xun took off his jacket and put it on him.
"Wear it, your hands are frozen red, you will catch a cold if you stay any longer." Qi Xun said lightly.
Percy's words were interrupted all of a sudden, and looked at Qi Xun who stood up stupidly.
Under the street lamp, Qi Xun's figure was extraordinarily tall, and he didn't know if it was because of the moonlight and the light of the street lamp that made him appear much gentler. He actually felt that Qi Xun's eyes were very gentle.
"Go home, it's too late, it's not safe for you to be outside alone, I'll take you." Qi Xun said.
Percy wrapped Qi Xun's coat and smelled a very light scent of bergamot.
He looked at Qi Xun for a few seconds, and finally stood up obediently.
He later learned that he was short at that time, and Qi Xun misremembered his age, and took him as fifteen or sixteen years old to be so conscientious to him.
But he didn't know it at the time.
He was taken home by Qi Xun by taxi, and the two of them didn't say a word along the way. When the car arrived at his door, Qi Xun didn't go in and stood outside the garden to say goodbye to him.
He was a little embarrassed and wanted to say something but didn't know how to say it, so he just returned the jacket to Qi Xun.
He honestly thanked Qi Xun: "Thank you for sending me back."
Qi Xun hugged his coat, as if he didn't expect him to thank him, smiled, and his expression softened a lot.
Qi Xun rubbed his head, with a little teasing in his eyes, "No thanks, even if you want to run away from home next time, at least remember to bring your mobile phone."
Twenty-year-old Qi Xun, compared with the serious restraint in the future, is a little more flamboyant than young people, and he looks very handsome when he smiles.
Percy was taken aback by this fleeting smile.
Even though Qi Xun had already left, he still stared blankly at Qi Xun's back, feeling that Qi Xun was a mess.
He fell in love with Qi Xun at that moment.
No reason, no warning.
Later, he took the thief and sneaked to Qi Xun's university, mixed with a group of college students, watching Qi Xun lead the debate team competition, was confused by the handsome Qi Xun in a suit, and secretly determined that he must be admitted to Qi Xun. A university, and then stood upright in front of Qi Xun and pursued him.
Later, he did get his wish and became Qi Xun's apprentice, but he experienced great joy and sorrow on the first day he entered the school.
The good news is that Qi Xun does like men.
The bad news is that Qi Xun already has a boyfriend.
Percy's memories came to an emergency stop here, he didn't really want to recall Qi Xun's first love.
It was because Qi Xun had a partner that his ambition to pursue Qi Xun was aborted.
Even though he finally got acquainted with Qi Xun later, and Qi Xun broke up with his first love in his senior year, he has lost the courage to confess.
Because since breaking up with his ex, Qi Xun has become more difficult to approach. Originally, the male god's return to singleness was a matter for the benefit of the people, but Qi Xun seemed to have completely lost his love for love. A lifelong relationship with work.
Over the years, there have been many brave warriors who dared to confess to Qi Xun. Huan Feiyan was thin, both men and women were beautiful. Some of them were excellent even from the perspective of Percy as a rival in love. One can succeed.
Percy also asked Qi Xun the reason, and Qi Xun's answer was very simple, only three words, "I'm not interested."
These three words killed Percy's courage to confess.
He admits that he is timid and would rather keep his identity as a friend than dare to take a step forward.
So many people failed to succeed, why did he think he could
But now, six years have passed since he had a crush on Qi Xun, and the opportunity to interact with Qi Xun lay in front of him unexpectedly.
The idol drama on TV has finished, and the ending song begins. The sky is already dark, and the house is not turned on.
Percy sat motionless on the carpet.
He touched the watch on his wrist. It was a birthday present that Qi Xun gave him last year. It was a custom-made one. He was very happy when he got it.
He remembered Qi Xun and said, "Anyway, we won't be able to be friends in the future, so why don't we try it together."
Percy thought, this is actually quite right, the two of them can't go back to the way they used to be, so it's better to take a gamble, maybe God doesn't look down on his Moji, and pushes him from it.
He picked up the phone, and in the darkness, only the light from the phone's screen was particularly conspicuous, reflecting his death-like expression.
He sent a message to Qi Xun and asked Qi Xun to meet tomorrow.
Ten minutes later, there was a reply, a simple word, "Okay."
Because of the appointment with Qi Xun, Percy was absent-minded even at work that day. He is the deputy editor of the fashion edition of "MUSE" magazine. There are a lot of young girls in the office, and he has a good relationship with him. him a little.
Percy was eating chocolate while waiting to get off work. In fact, he had a lot of free time, but the editor-in-chief was still sitting in the office, so he was embarrassed to leave first.
After dawdling, it was finally time to get off work, and Percy declined the suggestion of her colleagues to have dinner together, and ran away with her bag.
The girls were not in a hurry for him, they packed up their things, watched his disappearing back quickly, and chatted lively.
"Are our editor-in-chief Bai going on a date? Several times, we have seen him rushing off work."
"No, I remember him being single."
"Being single before does not mean that you are still single now. Handsome guys are always in demand."
…
Bai Xi came out of the building, and as soon as he went down the steps, he saw Qi Xun's car parked not far away, and Qi Xun was standing beside the car waiting for him. He was wearing a gray trench coat, tall and had a great temperament. Look at him a few more times.
Seeing him coming, Qi Xun opened the co-pilot's door for him. The two of them didn't talk much the whole way, only Debussy's music was flowing in the car.
Today's dinner was at a private restaurant that they both liked very much. Percy was a little nervous thinking about what he was going to say next.
Qi Xun was quite calm. Inside his gray windbreaker was a black sweater, which matched his temperament very well. He was low-key and elegant. Even when he lowered his head and peeled shrimp, he looked handsome and gentle.
Percy bit his chopsticks and looked at him for a while, then suddenly said, "Qi Xun, does what you asked me two days ago count?"
Qi Xun didn't lift his head: "Are you asking if you want to date me? It counts."
While talking, Qi Xun pushed the white porcelain plate in front of him to Percy, with a few peeled shrimps neatly lined in it, and seasonings.
He raised his head, looked at Percy, and motioned for him to continue.
The house was kept at a constant temperature, and even though it was already winter, it was still very warm inside. Percy felt a little hot, and took a sip of cold lemonade to calm down.
"I, I want to try to get in touch with you." Saying this sentence was a lot more difficult than he thought. Percy almost bit his tongue, but at the beginning of the sentence, he felt much more relaxed. He looked at Qi Xun's eyes and cheeks were a little pink because of shyness, "I don't want to force you. If you regret it and don't want to be with me anymore, you can quit at any time. Don't feel sorry for me or anything."
Percy looked at Qi Xun seriously, obviously the two of them hadn't started yet, so he arranged everything for Qi Xun clearly.
In this world, there are many loving couples who turn their faces when they break up, and they make a lot of trouble. He doesn't want him and Qi Xun to come this far.
Qi Xun showed a surprised expression again.
In fact, Percy was an anomaly in his life circle. Most of his friends were similar to him, with clear goals and decisive actions. But Percy was the complete opposite. He clearly had a beautiful face that was born to be surrounded by people, and his family background was also prominent, but he had a good temper, and he didn't fight or compete for things, which made people feel comfortable.
He did not dispute Percy's words.
A straw lamp hangs above Percy's head, and the warm yellow light envelopes Percy, which is pleasing to the eye.
"Then it's settled," he smiled at Percy, like ice and snow melting, with a languid look at the corners of his eyes and brows, "Hello, boyfriend."
He touched Percy's with the glass in his hand, and the ice cubes made a crisp crashing sound in the glass.
These simple three words made Percy's mind explode. He never knew that this title could have such a lethal power.
Percy could barely hold the cup in his hand.
Three days ago, he would never have imagined that he would actually be with Qi Xun.
He bit his lip and smiled at Qi Xun, his cheeks flushed.
"Hello, boyfriend."
He repeated Qi Xun's words, but said it very quietly, like a secret that he was afraid of being discovered.
Until she left the private restaurant, Percy felt like she was stepping on a cloud, and she walked lightly.
After paying the bill just now, Qi Xun naturally came over to hold his hand, and the two interlaced their fingers like every ordinary couple.
Qi Xun's expression was indifferent, as if this action was nothing to worry about, but Percy felt that she might need to dial 120, and at worst, she should get some oxygen or something.
Of course he knew that holding hands was nothing among lovers. He and Qi Xun had even had sex after drinking, and holding hands was not worth mentioning at all, but he was still very useless and almost shared hands.
He murmured: "I still feel a little confused..."
Qi Xun heard it, lowered his head and asked him, "Why?"
"It always feels a little unreal," Percy replied honestly, "I didn't expect to be with you so suddenly, it feels like a dream."
He was a little embarrassed, but looked at Qi Xun very frankly: "I like you so much, I don't know what to do..."
She probably lost face in front of Qi Xun, and now Percy is not too afraid to confess her love to Qi Xun.
He looked at Qi Xun with bright eyes, innocent drooping eyes, clean and soft, obviously in his twenties, but perhaps because he was well protected, he still looked innocent and clear.
Qi Xun's heart was suddenly scratched slightly.
In fact, he decided to fall in love with Percy, as he said, just because it was suitable, because it was very comfortable to be with Percy, and it was far from being in love.
He is not a person who takes love very seriously.
But the moonlight was so good today, and Percy's eyes looking at him were so bright, it made him feel that the decision he had made was not a bad one.
He touched Percy's soft hair and lowered his voice, "You don't have to be so nervous, you can do whatever you want, you don't need to think too much."
Percy looked up at him, and for a moment, he felt as if the time had gone back to the winter night six years ago. At the gate of his garden, the plum blossoms were blooming and the fragrance was floating. The same is true for the twenty-year-old Qi Xun. Look at him and smile at him.
He was fascinated for a moment and blurted out, "Then I want to kiss you."
As soon as he finished speaking, he was sober, and he wanted to bite off his tongue.
It's easy to become abnormal after being in a secret love for too long. He was just ramming the deer because of holding hands, so why did he tell Baldru what was in his heart now.
It must be him.
He frantically wanted to make up for it: "Ah no, you think I didn't say it, I just think about it..."
But before he finished speaking, Qi Xun had already lowered his head.
Qi Xun kissed him.
Today is October 23, the frost has fallen, and the weather has begun to turn cold.
But Qi Xun's lips were warm and soft.
Percy opened her eyes, and even her breathing froze.
He looked at Qi Xun's long and thick eyelashes, only to feel that the whole world was quiet.
The moonlight is beautiful tonight, Qi Xun is gentle and charming, and everything is just right.
In the sixth year of his crush on Qi Xun, he finally ushered in his first love.
