It rained cats and dogs.
Fu Shicheng's umbrella was not big, and it was not easy for two boys in their 18s to share an umbrella. Fu Shicheng could only try to hold Xia Yunian to his side as much as possible, almost wrapping him in his arms.
No one spoke anymore, Xia Yunian only pointed the way occasionally.
Xia Yunian's family building was in the middle of the campus, not far from the student activity center, but because of the rain, the road was dimly lit and there was stagnant water everywhere, so they walked for 20 minutes to get there.
When they reached the downstairs of the residence, Xia Yunian thanked Fu Shicheng again, and just after he finished speaking, there was a slight cat meowing suddenly from the depths of the corridor.
Xia Yunian hurriedly turned to look over, Fu Shicheng hesitated for a moment, and followed.
There are many old and unwanted furniture piled up in the corridor on the first floor. There is a cat nest made of cardboard boxes on the ground next to the corner. A raccoon cat got out of the box and kissed Xia Yunian affectionately when he squatted down. Rubbing.
"Xiaohua came back so early today."
Xia Yunian finished speaking softly, and explained to Fu Shicheng: "Xiaohua is the name I gave it. It is very wild. I originally wanted to take it back to raise it. It doesn't like it. It can't see it outside all day long. As far as the shadow, if it wasn't raining today, I probably wouldn't have come back so early."
Fu Shizheng had already recognized that it was the cat in Xia Yunian's WeChat profile picture. He lowered his head and met the kitten's eyes. Take a step back.
"It's a little afraid of seniors," Xia Yunian whispered, "It's usually not close to people."
Fu Shicheng glanced at him, Xia Yunian was still teasing the cat, another meow came from the box, and the other watched the milk cat, which was only a few months old, stick its head out of the box awkwardly.
Xia Yunian was a little surprised, he heard correctly just now, it was indeed not his little flower who made the sound.
This is still a good-looking British short. Xiaohua turned her head to hug the kitten. Fu Shizheng asked, "Isn't this a wild cat? Was it lost by someone?" Xia Yunian thought for a while and said, " A few days ago, I saw a little girl playing with a British shorthair cat, it should be this one, that little girl seems to live in the two buildings behind here, maybe her house got lost."
Xia Yunian stretched out her hand to hug the milk cat as she spoke, the milk cat struggled a few times in his hands, and soon obediently stopped moving.
"Are you going to return the cat now? It's raining heavily outside."
Fu Shicheng had no choice but to remind him.
Xia Yunian nodded: "It's not far away, the cat's owner should be in a hurry. Senior, please go first. I'll go upstairs to get an umbrella before I go. Thank you tonight."
Fu Shicheng glanced at the rainwater pouring down from the corridor outside: "Let's go, I'll go with you."
Before Xia Yu could say anything more, Fu Shicheng had already stepped out and put up his umbrella again.
Xia Yunian hugged the milk cat and followed.
The owner of the cat is in the first two buildings, and it is not far to walk there. When he went upstairs, Fu Shizheng asked, "Do you know which floor the owner of the cat lives on?" Xia Yunian said, "It seems to be on the third floor. The little girl said Once."
It was the household on the left of the third floor. The little milk cat meowed twice as soon as it saw the door of that household. Before they could knock, the person inside opened the door first. The eyes of the cat in Yu Nian's hand were red.
Fu Shicheng recognized the elder following him as a professor from their department, and the old professor warmly invited them in to sit down.
The cat was raised by the old professor's granddaughter. She opened the door and ran out by herself during dinner. The little girl's parents went out to look for it and haven't come back yet.
Fu Shicheng talked with the old professor for a while, while Xia Yunian played with the little girl and the milk cat. Fu Shicheng was a little absent-minded, and his eyes wandered to Xia Yunian several times.
The elementary school boy doesn't communicate much with his peers in the club, but he gets along very well with a little girl who is a few years old.
After sitting for twenty minutes, the little girl's parents came back. It was getting late, so Fu Shicheng and Xia Yunian got up to say goodbye.
Fu Shizheng sent Xia Yunian back again, and on the way Lu Weize sent a WeChat message: "Are you still not coming back? The door of the dormitory will be closed in a quarter of an hour."
Fu Shicheng glanced at the time, and it was indeed almost eleven o'clock. It was raining heavily at the moment, and he couldn't go back to the dormitory in fifteen minutes no matter what.
Xia Yunian also thought of this, and said to Fu Shicheng when they arrived at the gate of the building: "Why don't seniors come up and stay with me for one night, I'll give you the bed, I'm really sorry today, I'm sorry to trouble you."
Otherwise, there is no other way, Fu Shizheng thanked him and went in with him.
Xia Yunian went to the corridor to look at Xiao Hua again, and was relieved when she saw that Xiao Hua was asleep, and led Fu Shicheng upstairs.
The house he rented was on the fourth floor. This was the first time Xia Yunian brought someone back. Even Fang Xinyi had never visited here before.
After entering the door, Fu Shicheng looked around casually. The room was very clean and tidy, unlike other messy boys' dormitories.
Xia Yunian boiled a pot of water, scalded his water cup and poured it to Fu Shicheng: "Sorry, I usually don't have guests here, only this cup."
Fu Shizheng actually has a slight obsession with cleanliness, but when Xia Yunian handed over the cup, he hesitated for a second, and reached out to take it by accident.
Xia Yunian went to take a bath, Fu Shicheng sent a message back to Lu Weize: "I'm not going back tonight."
Lu Weize: "??" Lu Weize: "You really have a girlfriend, I'm going to the forum to break the news."
Fu Shicheng: "Don't talk nonsense."
Lu Weize: "Master, you have a guilty conscience."
Fu Shicheng didn't bother to talk to this kid anymore, he held Xia Yunian's water glass, stood by the window to watch the night rain outside the window boredly, and took a sip of the water in the glass from time to time.
Twenty minutes later, Xia Yunian came out of the bathroom and called him softly, "Senior, do you want to take a bath?" Fu Shizheng turned his head, and behind him Xia Yunian was wearing a light blue cartoon cat pajamas, slightly wet and slightly curly. The short hair was still dripping water, and the water droplets rolled over his cheeks that were flushed by the heat, and rolled into his white and slender neck.
Seeing that Fu Shicheng was silent, Xia Yunian said again: "I'll get you a new towel and toothbrush, but you probably won't be able to wear my clothes."
Fu Shicheng turned his eyes: "Yes."
Fu Shizheng went into the bathroom, Xia Yunian went back to the room, dried her hair, lay down on the bed, and sent Fu Shicheng a message.
Xia Yu read: "Mr. Fomero, I'm going back to my residence."
Fu Shicheng had just finished brushing his teeth, and was about to take off his clothes to take a shower. When he saw the new news coming in from Secret, and thought of his elementary school brother sending him a message just across the wall, that slightly weird emotion resurfaced.
Fu Shicheng: "Going back so late?" Xia Yunian: "I met a kind person who sent me back, and I am troublesome again today."
Xia Yunian didn't mention who sent him back, let alone leaving him overnight. Fu Shicheng thought about Xia Yunian's thoughts, and if he didn't say this, it should be because he was afraid that Mr. Fomero on the secret would have ideas. After all, Xia Yunian was looking for people to chat and make friends on Secret, and his purpose was definitely not just to stay in the chat, and the people he wanted to make were not ordinary friends, so naturally he wouldn't tell himself about keeping another person of the same sex to stay overnight late at night.
Fu Shizheng didn't return, and took a quick shower.
Fifteen minutes later, when Fu Shizheng walked into the room, Xia Yunian was lying on the bed with sleepy eyes, the phone still in his hand.
Hearing the sound of footsteps, Xia Yunian sat up, a button of the pajamas on his chest was undone, he didn't seem to notice, he muttered to Fu Shicheng, "You're done washing, let me sleep on the bed."
"No need," Fu Shizheng sat down on the sofa beside him, "I'll just sleep on the sofa."
"I agreed to give you the bed. The sofa is too short, and I have to curl up to sleep by myself."
Xia Yu insisted.
Fu Shizheng shook his head, shook off the blanket Xia Yunian brought him, took off his coat and lay down halfway.
Xia Yunian sat by the bed and looked at him.
Fu Shicheng put one hand behind his head, swiped his phone a few times, then turned his head: "What are you staring at me for?" Xia Yunian pouted at his long legs hanging from the sofa: "Isn't it uncomfortable to sleep like this? "He has 182 himself, and Fu Shicheng is half a head taller than him, so sleeping like this for a night will definitely not be comfortable.
Fu Shicheng frowned: "It will be one night."
Xia Yunian asked again: "Then do you want to sleep with me?" Fu Shizheng's eyes were filled with fleeting surprise, but Xia Yunian's expression was natural: "I'm both boys, it doesn't matter, right? Isn't it uncomfortable to sleep on the sofa all night?" Fu Shicheng looked at the person in front of him, and he couldn't understand whether Xia Yunian was faking it.
Being able to say such words so naturally, Fu Shicheng even doubted whether it was Xia Yunian or himself who had the evil intentions.
Seeing that Fu Shizheng kept looking at him but didn't make a sound, Xia Yunian said indifferently, "If you don't want to, forget it, I'm just suggesting."
In fact, he didn't mean anything else, but he felt that Fu Shicheng must be uncomfortable sleeping like this, and he might not be able to sleep well all night.
But Fu Shicheng knew that he was the one on the secret, so he thought about it.
Fu Shicheng in real life and Mr. Fomero in secret, he also thinks the latter is better at speaking.
The real Fu Shicheng himself is actually not that easy to get along with.
Without telling Fu Shicheng any more, Xia Yunian lay back on the bed, and couldn't sleep again after a while, so she continued to play with secret.
Xia Yunian: "Are you asleep?" Fu Shizheng looked at the new news, and his mood became more complicated.
Fu Shicheng: "No."
Xia Yunian: "It's raining tonight, I can't see the stars, it's so boring."
Fu Shicheng: "Go to bed early."
Xia Yunian: "I can't sleep, today is Friday, and there is no class tomorrow, is Mr. Fomero free tomorrow?" Fu Shicheng: "What?" Xia Yunian: "There is a performance by the city repertory troupe tomorrow, I want to see it Are you going?" Fu Shicheng didn't know how to reply for a while, Xia Yunian stared at the phone screen and waited for half a minute, and then sent another message: "Forget it, Mr. Fomero doesn't want to see me, so I'll go alone."
He logged out of secret and opened the ticketing app.
Fu Shicheng looked at the message Xia Yunian had just sent, and then glanced sideways at him.
Xia Yunian leaned against the head of the bed, her drooping eyelashes cast a shadow on her eyelids, and she couldn't see the emotion in her eyes clearly.
Xia Yunian was about to buy a ticket when Fu Shicheng suddenly came to sit next to him with a blanket in his arms. He turned his head in surprise. Fu Shicheng said solemnly, "It's really uncomfortable to sleep on the sofa. I'd better sleep with you, thank you."
Xia Yunian let out a soft "Oh" and moved to the side.
Fu Shicheng noticed his cell phone, and asked casually, "Are you buying tickets? Watching a movie?" Xia Yunian: "I want to watch a drama, tomorrow afternoon from the city's drama troupe."
Fu Shicheng: "You like watching dramas very much? I remember you said that you used to belong to a drama club."
Xia Yunian: "Well, I really like it. My mother likes it. She brought me to watch it since I was a child."
He asked casually again: "Senior, do you want to watch it together?" Xia Yunian was already waiting for Fu Shicheng to refuse after speaking, Fu Shicheng paused, but said, "It's also possible."
Xia Yunian: "..."
