Li Xuan didn't have many things in the office lounge. Rather than moving, he just packed some clothes. Sheng Min took two boxes with him and came back with one empty. The round trip took only an hour and a half.
"Actually, I'll bring it back tomorrow after get off work."
"I'm afraid you'll regret it after working for a day, so I'll have to persuade you again."
Sheng Min hung his and her clothes one by one in the cloakroom. Li Xuan went to wash the dishes and came to help him clean up. In a flash, he suddenly saw a familiar piece of clothing in the luggage that Sheng Min brought back from the crew.
"What's wrong?" Sheng Min saw him looking at her with a smile.
"Nothing." Li Xuan bent down and took it out, then handed it to him seriously, "I just remember that I seemed to have an identical shirt, but I couldn't find it later... Is this your luggage?"
Sheng Min was startled for a moment, then realized it belatedly and pursed her lips: "When you forgot to take it away, I took it to the crew..."
"Oh." Li Xuan wanted to laugh, but pretended to be confused. "You can also call me to pick it up, or send it to me. You won't block me, right?"
"Because I miss you so much, I don't want to give it back to you. I have to sleep with your clothes." Sheng Min completely ignored his joke and answered calmly. Immediately, the person who couldn't respond became Li Xuan. Sheng Min glanced at him and said, "Isn't that what I wanted to hear?"
"I... ... "
Li Xuan stuttered for a rare moment, but he saw Sheng Min pretending to be calm, but his ears were red, and the clothes in his hands were wrinkled. He couldn't help feeling proud, and walked forward to hug him gently: "Really?"
"It's fake." Sheng Min pouted, hung the shirt in the closet, sorted out the clothes and ignored him, "I just didn't have time to throw it away."
"It's too late. You've let me move in now, what's the point of throwing away clothes?" He tilted his head and kissed his hair, "I'll pick up whatever you throw away."
"Who cares about you?" Sheng Min couldn't help laughing again and pushed him out. "Okay, there are only a few things. I'll pack them up. You go to the study and set up your computer."
The express box that had been stored for several months was finally opened. In addition to the high-specification overall host, even the CPU, memory and graphics card were purchased from other brands with high configurations for him to replace. Li Xuan didn't know how much time Sheng Min spent on doing all this homework. It felt sweet and sour. After he replaced the graphics card and processor and reassembled the computer case, he heard footsteps coming from the door.
"Finished?"
"Yeah." Li Xuan stood up from behind the desk and said with a smile, "You've lost a lot. Even if I buy you a room full of candy, it won't be enough to pay you back."
"Don't tell anyone if you've gotten an advantage." Sheng Min put the quilt in his hand on the bed next to him. "The weather has been very abnormal these days, sometimes hot and sometimes cold. I brought you a cool quilt. If you... "
"I sleep in the study?"
"I can sleep..." Sheng Min suddenly came to her senses halfway through her sentence, holding the quilt, and pursed her lips uncomfortably.
He insisted that Li Xuan live with him. At that moment, he only wanted to supervise him eating and sleeping. He did not consider other issues at all. Thinking that it would be convenient for Li Xuan to work, he sent his quilt to his study... ...
"Do you just want to sleep holding my clothes?" Li Xuan seemed unaware of his embarrassment and asked him deliberately, as if he was aggrieved.
Sheng Min was silent and didn't answer. She looked down at the ground and didn't look at him. Li Xuan immediately regretted that he had gone too far in joking. He took the initiative to take the quilt from his hand and changed the subject casually: "You go to sleep first, I'll make the bed..."
However, Sheng Min did not let go, and lowered his head. Li Xuan could not see his expression from this angle. After a while, he saw his Adam's apple move and whispered, "No need to make the bed. Go over and sleep."
For a moment, he felt like he had nowhere to move his hands and feet. Li Xuan coughed and said, "Stop it. I was just kidding."
"I'm not kidding." Sheng Min grabbed his hand and pursed her lips and said, "Come here."
So they went back to the bedroom hand in hand. The distance of two or three meters felt like a century.
When Li Xuan got up, the quilt was not folded, and it looked a little messy under the light. He had already taken a shower when he got home, so it was really difficult to find an excuse to delay time.
So they all forgot about the other things they were doing. They stood there in stupid silence for a moment. Sheng Min said, "Let's go to sleep," and Li Xuan nodded and said okay.
I lay down on the bed and said goodnight very restrainedly. It's not that we haven't slept in the same bed before. On the contrary, there were too many days in the past when we slept together like two little animals, but either the relationship was different or the time was not right, and we didn't have any romantic thoughts.
At first, they couldn't fall asleep. They lay still, closed their eyes and pretended to be calm, but in fact, they pricked up their ears to listen to the other person's movements. They felt that this bed was too big, but too small. He was so far away from them, and yet so close. The temperature of his skin was so close. Li Xuan's fingers unconsciously reached out, hesitated, and wanted to withdraw. In the hesitation, he had already touched Sheng Min's fingertips.
Both of them were stunned, and then Li Xuan held Sheng Min's hand and placed it in his palm. He licked his lips unconsciously, turned his head slightly, and saw Sheng Min's beautiful eyes, which were brighter than the moonlight coming in from the window.
He felt that he couldn't watch any longer, so he coughed softly and said, "Go to sleep, it will be dawn soon."
Sheng Min hummed, and closed her eyes in a panic. She was really a little sleepy. She had been filming for a whole day, and she rushed back to record an interview. She hadn't rested until now. Her hand was naturally a little stiff when it was held by Li Xuan, but she felt at ease lying next to him...
The breathing beside him gradually slowed down. Li Xuan couldn't help but laugh. He gently pulled his hand over and placed it on his chest, letting his pulse touch his heartbeat.
The not-so-clear moonlight from the window flowed on the curtains like water. Li Xuan had slept too much, and at this moment he was no longer sleepy, but he did not feel bored or wasted. He was awake, as if he had fallen into a sweet dream. It seemed that in a flash, the moonlight had slid from one end of the window frame to the other. Sheng Min moved his hand, and after another half a minute, Li Xuan thought he would fall asleep again soon. Sheng Min drowsily reached out from under the quilt and fumbled for something on the bedside.
"Where is it?" He muttered softly and vaguely.
It was because of the cold. Li Xuan realized belatedly that the air conditioner temperature was set too low. But the air conditioner remote control was on his bedside table. Sheng Min probably also realized this and tentatively called his name in a low voice.
Li Xuan didn't want him to find out that he was pretending to sleep, so he didn't respond for a while, preparing to wait for Sheng Min to call him for the second time before speaking again. However, the latter sighed and slowly got up.
It was really cold. The temperature difference between day and night was bigger during the transition from summer to autumn. It was actually OK if I endured it. However, the air-conditioning outlet was facing Li Xuan's head. Sheng Min felt cold herself, but was even more worried that he would catch a cold. She carefully leaned over and tried to reach the remote control.
But one of his hands was still held by Li Xuan, which was somewhat inconvenient. His gentle breath brushed across Li Xuan's skin, the mist-like touch, like feathers causing shivers, became another kind of torment. Sheng Min was unaware, and when he was about to touch him, Li Xuan tightened his grip, unable to bear it any longer and pulled him into his arms.
The remote control fell on the carpet with a loud bang. Sheng Min was quickly covered with his hands, and even the exclamation that had not yet come out was covered.
He fell on him, and they looked at each other in the dark. Their heartbeats became faster and faster. Sheng Min stared at him intently for a long time, then moved his lips with great difficulty.
What do you want to ask? Are you awake? Did I wake you up
I'm afraid my mind was also in a mess. Because when they were so close together, my body reacted quickly and uncontrollably, without any protection or avoidance. The only thing I could be thankful for was that the other person was the same as me.
The longer the staring, the more its meaning changes. Or maybe it has always been the same and can no longer be hidden.
Is this necessary? No, never. It's not worth mentioning, but I love you, so I will share everything without hesitation.
When
Unconsciously, Li Xuan's palm had slowly moved from Sheng Min's cheek to his neck, and his thumb pressed on his Adam's apple.
Is now the right time? He asked himself and Shengmin.
The movements were very slow, giving Sheng Min countless opportunities to stop.
But what is good? What is appropriate
There is no answer, and there will never be a solution. But the answer is about to be revealed.
Sheng Min's body trembled slightly under his palm, but became calm when he kissed her, without any hesitation.
Every moment I spend with you, you love every moment of mine.
The sound of the packaging being torn open was particularly obvious in the darkness. Sheng Min didn't know when he prepared these things and brought them to the bed. As soon as he asked a word, Li Xuan kissed his face coquettishly.
The wet kisses came one after another without any gaps, swallowing up all the words.
In a trance, Sheng Min had the illusion that he had let a wolf into the house, but he was also glad that he was his accomplice.
The pair of hands, with slightly calloused fingertips from years of typing on the keyboard, slid across every inch of his skin, from the collarbone to the dimples of the waist, lingering endlessly and unbearably.
Cold and hot.
He heard Li Xuan ask him in a low and hoarse voice if it hurt. Sheng Min didn't want to answer this question so he reached out to cover his mouth, but he held his finger with a smile and licked it bit by bit.
Sheng Min looked up and saw the light. The crystal pendant was shaking gently. He saw Li Xuan's face again, his brows were slightly furrowed, and a drop of sweat rolled from his hair to his face.
In the sea of love and sin, people are drifting up and down.
It is said that this is the most romantic thing in the world, like clouds floating on the high platform and rain falling on Mount Wu, like spring flowers and autumn dew and a gentle breeze in the evening.
Don't be stingy with all your praise.
Some people also discard it like a worn-out shoe, believing that to find the right path, one must eliminate human desires.
But it turns out that it's not much different from a hug or a kiss.
Pain and happiness are only precious when they come from each other. He is willing to give him everything he wants, and his soul trembles because of his satisfaction. Li Xuan's lips lingered on his bare shoulders, and when the most painful moment came, Sheng Min hugged his sweaty back and bit his Adam's apple.
Li Xuan just smiled softly in his ear and said "I love you" in a gentle voice that was completely different from his strength.
What does that line say? Sheng Min thought in a trance.
You and I love each other so much.
You are in my mud, and I am in your mud.
All that we have is just to get closer, it is both a gain and a sacrifice.
But each other's body once housed their own souls, and without any additions, they have always been the closest people in the world.
Among the thousands of unknowns of fate, you are the only certainty.
I forgot when it ended, and I also forgot when I fell asleep. When I woke up, the sky was dim, and the sky I could see through the gap in the curtains was an ambiguous and blurry gray-blue. The moon hadn't set yet, and everything was silent. The boundary between dream and reality was not so clear.
"Awake?" Li Xuan was wearing a grey nightgown, with a laptop on his knees, sitting casually on the carpet beside the bed, leaning against a corner of the bed. Seeing that he was awake, she immediately threw the computer aside, came over, and held his fingertips.
"Why are you sitting here?"
"Would you like some water?" Li Xuan did not answer but asked him instead.
Sheng Min blinked in confusion, then nodded slightly: "Yeah."
Li Xuan then smiled and took the glass on the bedside, which contained honey water. The sweetness of locust flower honey was very light. Sheng Min took his hand and drank half of the glass.
"Don't want to drink anymore?" Seeing Sheng Min shaking his head, Li Xuan drank the rest of the water, wiped the water stains on his lips with his fingertips, and then said, "You said you were thirsty at night, and I poured you some water, but you fell asleep again... I was always worried that you would be thirsty."
"And you stayed by the bed the whole time?" Sheng Min had just woken up and was a little sluggish. "Why didn't you come up?"
"You slept so soundly." Li Xuan answered the question irrelevantly.
Sheng Min pulled the quilt down, revealing only a pair of eyes: "Obviously he is working overtime."
"Yeah." Li Xuan nodded and admitted it readily, but his face showed a rare, somewhat shy expression, and his voice was lowered, "I dare not look at you for too long, I..." He seemed to not know what to say, and quickly kissed Sheng Min's eyebrows, and said in a low voice with a little annoyance, "You will wake up."
This came out of nowhere. Sheng Min pursed her lips, her face starting to heat up belatedly. She turned away, refusing to look at him again. Li Xuan stopped talking after saying this, with a rare shy look. After a while, seeing that Sheng Min ignored him, he pushed his arm again.
"what?"
"It's very cold." Li Xuan said shamelessly.
“You deserve it.”
Sheng Min whispered to him and moved aside. When Li Xuan lifted the quilt and got on the bed, she naturally took his hand.
"It's so cold." Sheng Min complained softly, but pressed it on his chest without hesitation.
Li Xuan wanted to retreat: "I'll freeze you."
"You won't be cold if you hug me for a while." Sheng Min blinked, with a hint of innocence between his brows.
While Li Xuan's throat was dry, he felt unprecedented joy in his heart. When his body warmed up a little, he couldn't wait to lock him in his arms.
As the brothers' hands and feet were entangled, not only were they no longer cold, their skin touching each other even began to feel hot. However, neither of them was willing to let go.
Sheng Min turned over, leaned on his shoulders, and put her arms around his back. After a while, perhaps because she was a little sleepy, she asked him softly, "Did you smoke?"
"Does it smell like cigarettes?" Li Xuan stroked his soft, slightly sweaty hair, "I just came back from taking a shower."
Sheng Min shook his head and sniffed his collarbone: "Your smell..."
"What do I smell like?" Li Xuan smiled.
Sheng Min thought for a while to find a suitable description: "Fig, also a bit like lemon... It's the shampoo you usually use."
Li Xuan had never paid attention to shampoo. Seeing Sheng Min was serious, he said, "Like it? Then I'll give you the same one?"
"I've already changed to the same one." Sheng Min sniffed him contentedly, put her hand on his chest, and sighed, "Smoke less, I know you have a lot of work to do..." He frowned slightly, as if educating a bad child, "But what's so good about cigarettes... I'll buy you tea and mints."
Li Xuan actually didn't have a heavy smoking addiction. Most of the time he smoked to stay alert because he had been working for too long. Of course, today was an exception - he was too happy, but too embarrassed to let Sheng Min see it, so he went to the balcony and lit a cigarette, using nicotine to calm himself down.
But when Sheng Min said this, he deliberately said, "What's so good about tea and mints?"
Sheng Min glared at him without any intimidation, but Li Xuan hugged his waist again, touched his bare back, and said with a smile: "I suffered such a big loss, and you only gave me mints?"
This was such a shameless remark. But Sheng Min indulged him, stood up, and coaxed him like a child: "Then what do you want?"
As he moved, the quilt on his body slipped down a little, and under the dim light of the sky, the marks of varying depths on his shoulders were nowhere to be hidden.
What else could he want? Li Xuan thought, he had already gotten the best, he was the luckiest man in the world.
"Can I give you the lighter and cigarette box to keep? If you keep an eye on me, I'll smoke less."
He agreed so readily that Sheng Min's eyes widened slightly. Li Xuan couldn't help laughing, laughing at himself for being blinded by lust and obsessed. He pressed Sheng Min's neck with his palm and pulled him into his arms again, kissing his soft lips and mumbling, "You are the best. Give me some more candy..."
After a lot of fooling around, the soft quilt was like a layer of gauze, holding one gentle dream after another. Even in dreams, it was not so good.
The mark that had not yet faded last night was covered again with a new one. Li Xuan hugged him from behind and gently kissed the teeth marks left on his shoulder.
Sheng Min felt itchy and smiled as she hid from him. When she looked up, the sky had become brighter. The outline of the moon had gradually melted into the fog. Through the gap in the curtains, she could vaguely see a faint star next to the moon halo.
"It's almost dawn."
"Hmm?" Li Xuan didn't hear clearly, so he leaned against his cheek and asked, "What?"
"Stars, morning stars." Sheng Min stretched out his arm and pointed at something in the distance. Li Xuan looked over and was stunned for a second before smiling, "Yes, stars."
"Is the lottery ticket still there?" Sheng Min looked at him and asked softly.
"Yes." Li Xuan put his face close to his, then quickly came back and hugged him again. A yellowed signature paper fell into Sheng Min's palm.
Sheng Min carefully unfolded it, and after a moment, he showed a somewhat disappointed smile, raised his head and asked him in a low voice: "Do you carry them with you?"
"I watched it every day at that time." This smile at such a sweet moment also made Li Xuan feel a little sour. After answering this sentence, without waiting for Sheng Min's reaction, he asked again, "... ... Did you really sleep with my clothes in your arms?"
Sheng Min's expression revealed a strange sense of embarrassment: "I was caught by you for just this one mistake, there's no need to talk about it all the time."
Li Xuan was silent for a moment, then grabbed his hand. Their fingertips were entangled through the soft fabric of the silk quilt. The scene was really not solemn, but he restrained his expression again: "I'm not leaving... You said you would let me go, but you never meant it."
"It's sincere." Sheng Min said after a brief silence.
Li Xuan smiled indifferently: "Then I was wrong."
He lowered his head and kissed Shengmin's eyes. "I was very panicked. I always wanted to grab something. I looked every day. I felt that I was doing something stupid. You are even more stupid than me... You just won the lottery."
"But I only ask for this one this time." Sheng Min didn't hesitate at all, leaning against his body, looking at him with gentle eyes, "Give it to me, okay?"
"I'll give it back to you." Li Xuan squeezed his palm tightly and said with certainty, "It's always been yours." After a pause, he added, "It will be a very good fortune."
Sheng Min smiled and touched his face: "It has been a long time ago."
There was no more talk for a while. Li Xuan had never been in the habit of staying in bed, but at this moment he really wanted the warmth of Sheng Min's skin. He couldn't help but snuggle up to him, and couldn't tolerate even a little gap. After the silence, the tiredness brought by the love affair came over him belatedly. Seeing that Sheng Min's face gradually showed some tiredness, he put his arm around his waist and let him lean on him: "Sleep a little longer."
"And you?"
"I'll accompany you."
Sheng Min's tone was a little slow: "Aren't you going to the company?"
"If you don't want me to go, then don't go."
"Let's go later." Sheng Min curled up in his arms, "Wait until I get up before you go."
"good."
He didn't speak for a long time, then asked again in a confused voice: "Will it crush you?"
Li Xuan couldn't help but laugh, hugged him carefully, put his hand close to his ear, and whispered in a low voice, as if saying a love word: "You are as light as a cloud."
The author has something to say:
I have received over ten thousand. I won’t say too many nice words. Thank you everyone.
