"Bai Fan." A pleasantly surprised voice called out.
When Bai Fan heard his name, he turned around suspiciously, and saw a car with the windows down parked beside the road, and the people inside were waving to him excitedly.
Luo Shuai!
While Bai Fan was in a daze, the person in the car had already yelled at him, "Wait for me." Then he quickly found a parking space next to the mall, closed the door and ran over.
Luo Shuai ran very fast, and was out of breath when he reached Bai Fan, but his eyes were still looking at Bai Fan very brightly, looking extremely happy, "Bai Fan, didn't you say you won't come back? When will you come back?" , and didn’t tell me a word.”
Seeing Luo Shuai's sincerely surprised appearance, Bai Fan was naturally embarrassed to tell him that he had been back for a while, and felt a little guilty, "It's only been two days since I came back."
"Oh." Luo Shuai had a smile on his face all the time, and he didn't know whether he believed it or not. He glanced at the direction Bai Fan was going to and said, "Want to buy something? I'll accompany you."
Hearing this, Bai Fan looked Luo Shuai's clothes up and down, and took out the long shopping list listed by his mother with a half-smile, "I want to buy a lot of things, why don't you go to work, Mr. Luo?"
Luo Shuai was slightly embarrassed. He was dressed very formally, and at this time, he was obviously on his way to work. No wonder Bai Fan knew his itinerary at a glance, but Luo Shuai quickly took it lightly. Coughed, "It's rare for an old friend to come back. What work do I have to do? I'll give myself a day off today."
"This boss is so nourishing." Bai Fan scolded with a smile, but did not refuse. So the two went to the mall together.
Most of the list made by Bai Mu is ingredients, and there are some daily consumables. One of the two is looking for things according to the list, and the other is pushing the cart behind. They look very harmonious, not to mention the two tall He is a handsome guy who attracts attention wherever he goes.
After the two of them walked to the vegetable section, Bai Fan picked up two vegetables and compared them left and right. He couldn't make up his mind, so he turned his head and asked, "Luo Shuai, which one do you think is better?"
Luo Shuai walked over with a smile pushing the cart, pointed to one of them, "This one."
"Okay, that's it." Bai Fan nodded, put the one selected by Luo Shuai into the cart, and continued to buy the next item on the list.
Luo Shuai has been pushing the cart and followed behind, occasionally serving as a staff officer, but he seems to be in a very good mood, with a smile on his face all the time, and when he looked up, he accidentally saw a young couple pushing the cart in the same way While shopping, the smile on Luo Shuai's face could not help but become more meaningful. He looked at Bai Fan frequently, and finally couldn't hold back, and said, "Bai Fan, do you think we look like this..." Luo Shuai didn't say the following words , just turned his head to the couple behind him vaguely.
Bai Fan looked suspiciously at the place where Luo Shuai pointed, and naturally saw the couple with an intimate expression at a glance. After understanding what Luo Shuai meant, the smile on Bai Fan's face froze.
For the next time, both of them were a little silent. They just followed the list and collected everything. During the process, Luo Shuai couldn't help but look at Bai Fan. It was too little, so little that he couldn't comfort himself at all. When handing Bai Fan a box of milk on the shelf, Luo Shuai scratched Bai Fan's palm intentionally or unintentionally with his little finger, and watched the man withdraw his hand violently, but pretended nothing happened However, Luo Shuai felt better all of a sudden.
It might be that Luo Shuai laughed so happily that Bai Fan couldn't help but glared at him. There is still that strange feeling of fingertips on his hand. It is not uncommon for Luo Shuai to tease Luo Shuai intentionally or unintentionally before, but Luo Shuai did not go too far. It's been so many years, but just now, when Luo Shuai made a small move towards him, his first reaction was that it was lucky that Yin Rui wasn't here. Realizing his worry, Bai Fan couldn't help turning dark face. Could it be that he was really intimidated by that brat Yin Rui, and kept his threats in mind even when others were away.
After buying all the items on the list, the two of them pushed the cart to the counter to check out. The white mother ordered quite a lot, and there were two big bags in it. Luo Shuai helped carry one, and said with a smile , "I'll take you back."
"No need." Bai Fan subconsciously refused without thinking about it. Even though he didn't want to admit it anymore, he still took Yin Rui's threat to heart.
Luo Shuai was taken aback by this unexpected refusal. In his opinion, it must be inconvenient for Bai Fan to go back with so many things. Sending Bai Fan back was already a matter of surety. He just asked for opinions and never expected to be rejected, " Why?"
"Uh... You still have something to do, it's not good to waste your time too much, and I drove here by myself today."
Luo Shuai smiled, "Aren't I going to be on vacation this afternoon? The most important thing for me today is to send you back, and it happens that I haven't seen my aunt for a while, so I can visit you together."
"It's really unnecessary."
"Let's go." Luo Shuai's smile remained unchanged, and he directly carried the big bag in his hand to his car, only showing a little gloom in places where Bai Fan couldn't see, but when he turned around, there was another smiling face.
Under Luo Shuai's nimble movements, Bai Fan had no chance of refusing at all, and judging by Luo Shuai's appearance, even if he refused, he would follow, so he had no choice but to get in his own car. back on the road.
When he returned to Jingtai Garden, Bai Fan made a smart move and stopped the car a little far away from his home, so as to avoid the chance of the two of them meeting each other. Even though Luo Shuai had a few specially trained muscles, he could still Compared with Yin Rui, he can be knocked down with just one finger. Although he wasn't worried about Yin Rui doing anything in front of him, but behind his back... Thinking of what happened to Gongyibo that night, Bai Fan still had to be careful.
"Why stop here, there are so many things, let's drive a little further in." Luo Shuai lowered the window and said to Bai Fan who got out of the car.
"No need, it's fine here." Bai Fan said while taking down the big bag from the car. Seeing this, Luo Shuai quickly opened the car door to help.
"So many things, let me send you up."
It's all here, and if you go in, you will be seen by Yin Rui, Bai Fan hurriedly said, "Thank you for sending me back, there are guests at home today, it may not be convenient for my mother, um, I will invite you out some other day."
Now that we've talked about this, Luo Shuai naturally understands something, he said with a smile, "Well, then I won't bother Auntie today."
Seeing that Luo Shuai was finally willing to leave this dangerous area, Bai Fan nodded with a smile, and was about to withdraw the hand that Luo Shuai had held at some point, but he couldn't do it, under Bai Fan's gaze. , Luo Shuai finally let go of his hand embarrassingly, but there was still reluctance in his eyes. He seemed extremely reluctant to leave so soon, and tried every means to find something to talk about, "Bai Fan, when I went to see my aunt last time, she dragged me to complain about why you still don't want to get married , Ha ha, is there any special reason?" Luo Shuai looked at Bai Fan with bright eyes, in fact, after meeting Bai Fan again after ten years, he found that the other party was not married yet, and he hadn't had a wife for so many years. Girlfriend, this is also one of the sources of motivation that makes Luo Shuai feel that little flame in his heart can't be extinguished. After all, it's too abnormal for a person in his thirties to not have a girlfriend.
"There's no reason, it's just that I haven't met the right one yet." Bai Fan's answer was very moderate.
Luo Shuai didn't want to let Bai Fan go so easily, pretending to be disappointed and said, "So it's just because I didn't find a suitable one. I thought you weren't interested in women either. Hehe, I'm just kidding. Mind, since you are so picky, you may not be able to find a suitable one after several years of searching, so Auntie has to die in a hurry, or do you think I am suitable, let's use it together, I have liked you for more than ten years gone."
Although Luo Shuai said these words in a joking tone, they were strangely serious, especially the last sentence, which seemed to be casual, I have liked you for more than ten years, and it was especially heavy. Any favorite can last for more than ten years.
After listening to Luo Shuai's confession, Bai Fan fell silent, unlike the flustered feeling when he heard Yin Rui's confession, he was very calm about Luo Shuai's confession, because it was not the first time he heard it. It was this tranquility that allowed him to rationally analyze the weight of Luo Shuai's words. When he heard Luo Shuai's confession for the first time, he was still too young and fled in embarrassment without giving any reply. The attitude of avoiding and fearing nothing is the most hurtful. When they met again ten years later, the two carefully maintained their friendship, but he also did not give Luo Shuai a firm attitude, even because he was single so far. Luo Shuai still has some thoughts. In fact, sometimes, the harm caused by not denying is far greater than refusing.
Bai Fan raised his head and looked carefully at his friend for many years. Only then did he realize that Luo Shuai was no longer the youthful appearance he remembered. Just like Bai Mu's worry, they were no longer young and there was not much time left to spend. Now, since he has never considered having that kind of relationship with Luo Shuai, why hasn't he given Luo Shuai a clear answer, what rights does he have, and this continues to consume Luo Shuai's time, Luo Shuai should use this time , to find someone who truly loves him and can spend his life with him, regardless of whether that person is a man or a woman.
After making up his mind, Bai Fan raised his head and said, "Shuai Luo."
Bai Fan's overly serious expression made Luo Shuai couldn't help becoming more cautious. He looked at Bai Fan with a smile on his face, nodded encouragingly, and signaled him to continue talking.
"Luo Shuai, you are fine, I know, if possible, I would like to try to be with you, but... my parents won't agree."
The smile on Luo Shuai's face gradually disappeared, because he already knew what Bai Fan was going to say. He had always been accommodating in front of Bai Fan, knowing that Bai Fan didn't smoke, so he never lit a cigarette in front of Bai Fan, but this time, Luo Shuai Unable to control himself, he took out a cigarette and lit it. After taking two puffs, he seemed to calm down a little, looked at Bai Fan and said, "I can try to make them accept the words of my uncle and aunt. I believe in sincerity. open."
"I can't afford it." Bai Fan raised his head slightly, "My parents are no longer young, and I don't want them to worry about me anymore."
…
"Sorry to tell you this now, but I hope you are happy, and you shouldn't waste your time on me."
…
"It's impossible for us to be together."
…
"I hope you can think about what I said today. If you are really angry, you can join me to calm down the fire. We will still be friends in the future."
…
After saying this, Bai Fan looked at the silent Luo Shuai who was smoking one by one without expressing his opinion, took a few steps back, put the two big bags on the ground back into the car, and drove towards the garage.
After parking the car, Bai Fan walked towards the elevator with both hands full of things. Thinking about what happened just now, his emotions were very complicated, and he couldn't tell whether he was depressed or relaxed. A shadow fell.
When his waist was hugged fiercely, Bai Fan was startled for a moment, but soon realized that there was only one person with this strength who could get so close without him noticing, Bai Fan turned cold Said, "Let go."
"I'm coming down to pick you up, aren't you happy?" Yin Rui didn't intend to let go, and turned his head close to Bai Fan's neck and sniffed lightly, "I saw you with someone by the window just now, who is that? ?”
Bai Fan immediately became vigilant, "What do you want to do, I warn you, don't mess around like last time, otherwise I won't let you go."
"Fan is angry?" Yin Rui noticed that the body under his arms tensed instantly, and thought for a while, "Didn't I say it last time, anyone who wants to take Fan away, I will not Let it go, but if it's just an ordinary friend, I won't do anything to him, don't be nervous about Fan, I really don't want to control Fan."
Bai Fan gritted his teeth, this is called ignoring him, but after hearing that Yin Rui did not attack indiscriminately, Bai Fan also relaxed a little. There is no way between him and Luo Shuai. It has never been started before, and it will never happen in the future. Any chance of being together, so again just "casual friends".
Feeling that the body in his arms began to relax, Yin Rui made an inch of it and said, "I'm so obedient, I don't want to reward me."
"Master Yin is not yet an adult, what reward do you want, let it go." Bai Fan struggled with black lines all over his face, but he couldn't make much movement because his hands were full of things. While Bai Fan was struggling, Yin Rui suddenly hugged Bai Fan's head and kissed Bai Fan's lips. He didn't stay for too long, but he had time to lick it. When the elevator reached the first floor and opened with a ding, Yin Rui already knew that it was a tool for going upstairs after these days, so he retreated in without hesitation, and said briskly, "Take this as my reward." Yin Rui who said this sentence glanced in one direction intentionally or unintentionally.
"Yin Rui, are your skin itchy?" Bai Fan was really stunned for a second, and then immediately chased into the elevator.
The elevator closed slowly after both of them got in, and only the bustling noises could be heard inside. After the elevator was completely closed and went up, a figure walked out of the corner. Luo Shuai looked at the number showing the number going up, and clenched his hands into fists. He was just thinking about it for a while. Bai Fan said In the future, I really don't want to give up, so I want to chase after him and try my best, but I didn't think about it, but let him see such a picture.
