Chi Cheng's bite was really ruthless, a small scab formed on the part of Tao Huainan's mouth that was bitten by him, and his chin was also a little bit blue, it was really pitiful at first glance.
What was even more pitiful was the neck and shoulders. Tao Huainan didn't dare to show them at all, and only showed them when he was sleeping at night.
When Chi Cheng came back from the study, he saw Tao Huainan leaning against the head of the bed, stroking his neck.
"What's wrong?" Chi Cheng asked.
Tao Huainan pointed to the door and whispered, "Close, close."
Chi Cheng closed the door with his backhand, and when he got to the bed, Tao Huainan leaned over and asked, "Is there any mark on the neck?"
Chi Cheng took a look at his collar, and scratched Tao Huainan's neck inadvertently with his fingers, and Tao Huainan shrank slightly from itching.
"There are more." Chi Cheng withdrew his hand and said.
"Is there a lot?" Tao Huainan was a little distressed, scratching his chin, "There are small bumps on his chin."
Tao Huainan didn't like to wear high collars since he was a child, and it was uncomfortable to wrap his neck and chin. Chi Cheng leaned over and pinched his chin to take a closer look, there was really a small red bump.
"Scratch..." Tao Huainan rubbed his chin on Chi Cheng's finger, using his nails to scrape his chin, "Scratch."
On the first day Chi Cheng came home, the two of them kissed messily without saying a few words, and the talking time was not as long as the kissing time. After kissing like that, no matter how coldly Chi Cheng held it, Tao Huainan couldn't stand it. I used to be afraid of him, but after kissing him, I am not so afraid anymore.
I am bolder, and my actions and speech are more presumptuous, and I don't always have to pause and get stuck when I say something like at the beginning.
Chi Cheng randomly wiped his chin twice with his fingertips, and Tao Huainan didn't hear what he said.
"Huh?" Tao Huainan raised his head and asked.
Chi Cheng said lightly, "I said why are you so precious."
"Ah..." Tao Huainan scratched his chin again, and said slowly, "Aren't you used to it?"
Chi Cheng glanced at him, but didn't make a sound.
It's just that I'm a little allergic to being rubbed by a sweater, and the allergic bumps itch endlessly, Tao Huainan scratches it every once in a while, Chi Cheng looks at the phone, without looking up, he reaches out and pushes Tao Huainan's hand away.
"Stop scratching."
Tao Huainan frowned, feeling a little annoyed by the itching.
After a while, Chi Cheng went out and brought in the medicine box, and used the light in the room to identify the ointments. Tao Huainan raised his chin and asked Chi Cheng to wipe him with a cotton swab.
The ointment was a bit cold on the skin, and there was a bit of a cool breeze. Tao Huainan breathed out, although it was still itchy, but the wetness after applying the ointment was much better than before.
After Chi Cheng wiped the medicine box away, Tao Huainan lay down and waited for him, looking comfortable with his eyes closed.
"Don't wear it tomorrow." Chi Cheng said.
Tao Huainan opened his mouth, but stopped talking.
If it weren't for Chi Cheng's biting too hard, he wouldn't be covering it every day...
Chi Cheng said, "It's almost gone."
"Really?" Tao Huainan said with a smile, "It's okay, I just get pimples before going to bed at night, and I don't feel anything during the day."
The next morning Tao Huainan came together and said to Chi Cheng, "Brother, look at your neck."
Chi Cheng took a look and said, "It's almost there."
Tao Huainan finally stopped wearing high-necked clothes, and put the T-shirt on his body very comfortably.
He took the last subject this afternoon, and the rest of the subjects were due papers, so after the test today, the semester is completely over. Tao Huainan had his own test paper, but he had to answer it with other students.
He went out after packing up in the morning, and spent another morning reviewing in the school cafe.
After the exam in the afternoon, Tao Huainan came out after packing up his things, and was held by the arm as soon as he left the classroom.
After being startled, Tao Huainan immediately came to his senses, and said in surprise, "Brother?"
Chi Cheng said "um", and led him downstairs. Tao Huainan was held by his arm, and the blind cane was useless in his hand. He went downstairs and smiled and asked, "Why are you here?"
"Why do you have so many questions?" Chi Cheng said.
Tao Huainan zipped up his jacket and buttoned his hat before leaving the teaching building, and said, "Shall I take you to eat?"
Chi Cheng said, "We made an appointment for dinner tonight."
Tao Huainan reacted quickly, and immediately asked, "With Ji Nan? He kept saying that we would meet when you come back."
Except that Chi Cheng let him go in the teaching building, there were not so many people around. Tao Huainan followed beside him, Chi Cheng walked not slowly, but Tao Huainan followed him without difficulty.
It was indeed an appointment with Ji Nan, as soon as he heard that Chi Cheng was back, he called almost every day. This person has not changed a bit after so many years, and he still owes it, as if he hasn't grown up much in so many years.
Before meeting Tao Huainan, he was still a bit decent, but when he saw Chi Cheng, he all retreated, like a rambunctious boy of seventeen or eighteen.
When the two met, they circled their arms and patted each other on the back.
"I haven't seen my mother in a hundred years!" Ji Nan bumped Chi Cheng's shoulder, "What are you thinking, brother! You really don't love home!"
Chi Cheng didn't answer his words, just smiled, pulled out the chair and sat down.
Tao Huainan took off his coat and sat next to Chi Cheng.
"Are you dating? Xiao Huainan?" Ji Nan looked at Tao Huainan's neck in surprise. His eyes were too poisonous, and Tao Huainan's neckline was also a little crooked, revealing a red mark on the edge of his collarbone.
Tao Huainan said "Huh?", but he still hadn't realized what he was talking about.
Ji Nan leaned over, pulled his collar and took a closer look, his action was so sudden that Tao Huainan backed away: "What are you doing?"
"Really? Are you really interested?" Ji Nan looked at Tao Huainan with a wry smile, "Who is it?"
Tao Huainan made him ask in a daze: "Can you calm down...why are you so surprised?"
"Brother is from here, don't try to lie to me." Ji Nan sat back down again, laughed twice and said, "Don't tell brother that you got red from taking a bath."
"What kind of bath..." Tao Huainan rubbed his neck, thinking that you are no longer the Nan brother who looked at the red marks on his neck and said he was allergic in high school.
"Show me, do you have any photos?" Ji Nan was still a little sad after the initial bluff, "Why do I have the feeling that my cabbage is being overwhelmed?"
"What's the matter?" Tao Huainan finally couldn't take it anymore, and leaned back on the chair, "If I have any photos, I have to be able to see them! If I really have a partner, I'll be fine!"
"Impossible," Ji Nan said immediately, "You are so simple, don't lie in front of Brother Nan."
Tao Huainan said in his heart that you should stop playing tricks on me, you didn't know why when I was not innocent at first.
Chi Cheng finally opened his mouth beside him, changed the topic, and asked Ji Nan when he was leaving.
Now Ji Nan stopped entangled with Tao Huainan's neck, Tao Huainan was a little confused, he didn't know what it was like, whether Chi Cheng had lied to him in the morning.
In fact, Chi Cheng didn't mean to lie to him, there was really nothing on his neck, just now when Ji Nan saw that Tao Huainan took off his coat and twisted his collar to reveal it.
But Tao Huainan didn't feel too much pressure, and he wasn't afraid of being seen, but he couldn't answer who it was when asked like this.
"Where's your little friend?" Ji Nan asked halfway through his meal.
Tao Huainan guessed that he was going to ask Pan Xiaozhuo, and replied, "You don't know?"
"I don't know," Ji Nan said with a smile, "How would I know."
"He hasn't finished the exam, he still has two subjects." Tao Huainan said while eating, "The exam is almost over."
Ji Nan said "ah" casually, then turned around and went to talk to Chi Cheng again.
Chi Cheng can talk a bit more than he did in high school, when he was really aloof, although he still talks less now, he can chat for a while. He still laughs a lot when he talks now, and Tao Huainan sits next to him, and every time he hears him laughing and talking, his ears feel hot.
After a meal, Ji Nan sent the two of them back, saying that he would play with them two days later.
There are children in the community who are tightly wrapped up and are stepping on the snow. Parents throw such a small dumpling into the snow-covered flower bed and let the children roll and play in it.
The child's clothes were covered with snow, and he wore a small flower mask on his face, revealing a pair of big eyes, smiling happily.
Tao Huainan couldn't see this, but he could hear the child's laugh. Tao Huainan stepped on the stone bricks beside the flower bed and walked carefully along it.
Chi Cheng let him down.
Tao Huainan smiled and said it was okay, his mouth was always white when he spoke in winter, these winters are not as cold as before, when he was a child, he seemed to be too cold to open his mouth when speaking outside in winter.
When the two of them got home, Xiaodong had just come back, and his clothes had just been changed neatly.
"Yo, are you back?" Xiaodong helped the children in the store to carry things during the day, and scratched the back of his hand. There was no bleeding, but this kind of wound was painful enough.
Seeing his hand, Chi Cheng frowned: "How did you do it?"
"I was just moving boxes." Tao Xiaodong didn't take it seriously, and glanced at it.
Xiaodong is very rough in this area, he doesn't care where he gets bumped, he just got used to it from a young age. Tao Huainan asked, "What's wrong? Are you injured?"
"Just scrape it off, it's fine."
After Chi Cheng dealt with him briefly, Tao Huainan took off his coat and hung it up, sitting next to Xiaodong.
Tao Xiaodong turned his head to talk to him, but his gaze rested on Tao Huainan's neck for a short second before he could say what he should say.
Wearing clothes outside can cover or block it, but it is impossible to keep it at home. Tao Xiaodong has seen it a long time ago these days.
He didn't ask, so he didn't look at it.
Tao Huainan touched his wrist, a little worried, but he didn't dare to touch the back of his hand. Tao Xiaodong stroked his head with the other hand, and looked at his younger brother. The child laughed and cried for several years, but he still grew up.
Being a big brother can't replace a little brother, no matter how much Tao Huainan smiled in the past few years, he couldn't get into his eyes, but the recent period is obviously different.
Tao Xiaodong smiled, looked at Tao Huainan and Chi Cheng, and sighed silently.
Before going to bed at night, Tao Huainan really had a small pimple on his chin. He has been like this since he was a child, and the pimple can last for several days due to allergies.
"Don't scratch." Chi Cheng said.
Tao Huainan was obedient, he lowered his hands and said, "Why don't you bite again."
Chi Cheng was about to turn on the computer when he heard him say that he turned his head and glanced at him.
Tao Huainan moved beside him, tentatively arching Chicheng's neck with the tip of his nose. Chi Cheng dodged to the side, and asked calmly, "What are you doing?"
The small piece of scab on Tao Huainan's mouth was gone, and he didn't look so pitiful anymore. Tao Huainan understood that he was neither pitiful nor painful.
"Coax you," Tao Huainan leaned closer and arched again, the tip of his nose stroked Chi Cheng's neck up and down, "I want you to bite me."
Chi Cheng pushed his face away, pushed him aside, and asked, "Are we okay?"
"No, I know," Tao Huainan said with a smile, "If you don't make up, you won't delay the bite."
Tao Huainan lightly bit his shoulder, Chi Cheng turned his head to look at him, and ignored him. Tao Huainan kissed there after biting, and whispered, "Puppy."
