"Sleep well." I pulled my hand back, turning a deaf ear to his words, just left a hurried sentence and left as if escaping.
I could feel Shang Muxiao's eyes chasing after me, wrapping around his body and sticking to the back of his neck. I never looked back, enduring the tangible gaze until we were blocked by a door.
Locking the door, his thumb gently rubbed the hot skin on his wrist, the temperature belonging to Shang Muxiao still remained on it, distinct and unforgettable.
I gradually tightened my fingers, squeezing the wound under the gauze, and a continuous tingling pain in the palm of my hand quickly overwhelmed the disturbing temperature.
The next morning, I got up in a bad mood, and when I went out, Shang Muxiao was still asleep.
The rain outside stopped in the second half of the night, but the weather was still bad, there were still wet water marks on the ground, and the air was cold and damp.
The rain in late autumn is the messenger of winter, and every time it falls, it indicates that the cold winter is getting closer.
When he came back, Shang Muxiao should have left too.
The day's lessons were all supported by Yu Xixi's espresso American style, but in the afternoon, the caffeine's power was greatly reduced after it continued to work. After teaching for so many years, for the first time in class, I was half ecstatic.
Shang Muxiao's voice resounded unexpectedly in his mind, repeating what he said to me last night.
"North mustard, you will be my gem..."
Why is it so natural to say this. Anyone can be a gem, can they be what they want
"… teacher?"
"teacher!"
As soon as I returned my soul body, I saw the confused faces of the students, and I didn't understand why I stopped in such a place. I wanted to pick it up as if nothing had happened, but I forgot what I said before.
"Ten minutes of rest." I turned off the portable mic, I came to the podium, unscrewed the warm cup and took a big mouthful of black coffee. The bitter taste spread from the tip of the tongue all the way to the throat, and then to the stomach. I don't know if it's a psychological effect, but after a while, the brain seems to be less drowsy.
"Brother Bei, are you okay?" Yu Xixi ran up to care about me, glanced at the bottom of the coffee in my cup, and frowned, "You drank a lot of coffee today, did you not sleep last night? Don't drink these things."
"It's alright, I just didn't sleep well." I rubbed my temples, closed my eyes, and didn't say anything more.
No matter how good Yu Xixi's imagination is, it's hard to imagine how wonderful my weekend will be.
"Shang Lu's sons are not here recently." Yu Xixi said with regret.
I opened my eyes and glanced silently at her.
Yu Xixi turned around and saw me looking at her, and suddenly blushed: "Why, people also like to look at handsome guys... Among the second generation of stars who are about the same age as him, he needs to be tall and tall, and to be handsome. He has good looks, and many people expect him to join Shang Lu's class in the entertainment industry."
Regarding Shang Muxiao, I don't want to think about it now, and I don't mention it if I don't want to mention it, so I don't express my opinion too much, just a short "oh". But Yu Xixi seemed to have misunderstood the meaning of my "oh", thinking that I was questioning her and insisted on breaking it with me.
"No, many people are really optimistic about him. He had a photo out of the circle two years ago, and now he will be pulled out by a marketing account every three or five years to gain attention." Yu Xixi took out his mobile phone and looked for it, "Here, this is this one. "
She handed me the phone, and I took a look at it, just hitting a pair of familiar and unfamiliar eyes in the photo.
Black and white tones, open-air environment, blurred lights and a corner of the outdoor umbrella in the background. The light and shadow are just right, making the boy with sharp eyebrows in the picture reveal a clean temperament similar to cedar.
He was wearing a light-colored sweater, and his hair was cut quite neatly, revealing the contours of his superior face. Maybe he just inadvertently felt that he was being spied on, and glanced at the camera at random. The expression is still natural and casual, but there is a cold gleam in his eyes.
"This kind of high-definition face photo can be taken so well, and the temperament is absolutely amazing, right? I remember that when this photo first came out, many people thought it was a pathfinder for Shang Muxiao to enter the entertainment industry, and the results were waiting. There has been no news for two years, except for this photo, there is only this photo." Yu Xixi said and shook his head, "If he really wanted to enter the entertainment industry, he would have gone to the drama school long ago, why waste his energy to test our school, and also Entered the Department of Finance. It is true that the son inherits the father's business, but the family must inherit the family business, so where will he go to film. But this way, his character design of Xueba has been completely established, and passers-by's favorability It's even higher."
How can a true scholar let himself fail the course.
I was noncommittal about Yu Xixi's exaggerated description. When I returned her phone, I didn't know where to click, and the screen returned to the album list at the upper level, showing other photos except the photo of Shang Muxiao.
The other photos are of Shang Muxiao.
There are about twenty or thirty photos in the whole album, from different angles at different times. At first glance, they were taken secretly in class.
I looked at Yu Xixi without saying a word.
She quickly took back the phone and said embarrassedly, "No, I have two sisters, and I like him very much. I took a picture for them."
I nodded, "Oh."
"… "
Yu Xixi looked like he was going crazy: "No, really, you believe me, Brother Bei, I really have two sisters! They forced me, and I don't want it! You believe me!"
When I got off work, I was about to drive home when a message from Shen Luoyu came and asked me where I was.
on the way back home.
After returning, I started the car and walked out of the school gate. After a while, the phone vibrated again, and it seemed that Shen Luoyu had returned the message.
I didn't watch it, I plan to go back home. As a result, the phone rang not long after, and the call came.
Of course I thought it was Shen Luoyu who couldn't wait for my reply to call, and connected the car's bluetooth without thinking.
"When will you be home?"
When the low and hoarse voice came out of the speaker, the body shifted uncontrollably to the right by about ten centimeters, and I quickly returned to its original position.
My heart was beating violently, I glanced at the number on the smart screen, it was indeed Shang Muxiao.
"You haven't left yet?"
He said feebly: "I slept all day, and I was so weak that I couldn't eat. Your medicine didn't work. I still seem to have a fever."
Hearing this, I frowned and said, "I've been drying your clothes on the balcony. Check to see if they're dry. Change them when they're dry. I'll be home soon..."
"Are you going to drive me away?" The coquettish tone changed suddenly, and the temperature plummeted.
I stopped for a while, and kept telling myself that he was a patient. I had to be considerate. After completing the psychological construction, I patiently explained to him: "My medicine doesn't work, you need to go to the hospital and go to the emergency room."
There was silence, save for the sound of light breathing.
I didn't wait for him to reply for a long time. I was afraid that he might faint suddenly, so I called him eagerly with a thread: "Shang Muxiao?"
"Well." He responded quickly, "Then I'll wait for you to go home."
I got home faster than usual. When I got into the elevator, I suddenly remembered the information that I had not returned to Shen Luoyu. I took out my phone and glanced at the content, and my whole brain was buzzing.
I have something to bring you, don't worry, drive slowly, I'll go into the house first, and we will have a meal together in the evening.
Shen Luoyu has the password for my electronic lock, and sometimes brings me things. If I'm not around, she will just put things in the house before leaving.
The elevator door opened slowly, and the door was right in front of me, but I didn't have the courage to open it.
I tried to recall whether I saw Shen Luoyu's car in the parking garage, but found nothing.
I hope she's not as fast as me...
The finger pressed the fingerprint lock, and with the electronic female voice of "opened", the door lock was opened.
The door opened little by little, and two figures standing in the living room looked over.
I'm still not faster than Shen Luoyu.
But why she was afraid of seeing Shang Muxiao, I can't tell myself.
Shang Muxiao and I are innocent from any point of view. Most people will not easily think about things other than relatives and friends when they see that a single man has another young man of the same sex in the family.
I just stayed with him for one night, and I didn't sleep with him, what's the guilty conscience
"Uh, I didn't know you had guests here." Shen Luoyu lifted the bag in his hand and said, "Someone gave my mother a piece of bacon, and she asked me to bring you some. This is... "
She also seemed to have just arrived, so she didn't even have time to put down the meat.
Shang Muxiao and I looked at each other and spoke almost at the same time.
"he is my friend."
"I am his student."
I groaned inwardly, not really wanting to see Shen Luoyu's expression. At the same time, he was fortunate that Shang Muxiao had already changed into his own clothes, otherwise things would be more unclear.
"You go downstairs and wait for me first." I said to Shang Muxiao.
I don't know if it was due to illness or the presence of a third person. He was unusually obedient today. He nodded slightly when he heard the words, and went out without saying a word.
The door closed again, and in the next second, Shen Luoyu raised his voice slightly and said in surprise, "Student?"
"Forget about the new year."
Shen Luoyu's expression became a little indescribable.
I looked at her for a moment, and then added: "Yang Haiyang's girlfriend's younger brother."
Shen Luoyu also knew Yang Haiyang, but he wasn't so familiar with him, and he didn't know the love life of the other party.
"Well, I'll say why you suddenly have such a wrong friend." She seemed to accept this statement.
She went to the kitchen with the bag and stuffed it into the fridge for me.
I told her that I was going to go out with Shang Muxiao at the moment, so I might not be able to have dinner with her. She waved her hand and didn't care, she just thought it was me and Shang Muxiao who made an appointment first.
"You can do whatever you want. I'll use your kitchen to make a meal, and I'll leave when I'm done."
I was a little embarrassed and said, "Okay, I'll invite you to dinner next time."
Going down to the parking garage, as soon as I got out of the elevator, I started looking for Shang Muxiao's figure, but I swept around and saw no one else.
Finally, when he looked in front of the car, he was leaning against the door, squatting on the ground, with his hands in his jacket, probably still suffering, his eyes closed.
Hearing the sound of the wheelchair, his eyelashes trembled, he lifted his eyelids, and when he saw it was me, a dazzling smile gradually bloomed on his face. The corners of his lips moved his facial muscles, and the ends of his eyes were pulled up slightly, but just one expression changed his previously unapproachable temperament.
In an instant, he seems to have changed from an untamable wild dog to a domestic dog that obeys human beings, not only circling around your heels, but also showing a soft belly to you.
"Teacher." He faced me, spit out two words briskly and sweetly.
"Am I your friend?"
