"I'm going to sleep in another room."
Maybe it's because he didn't drink enough water, and Qiao Yan's voice was rarely cloudy.
However, just after he finished speaking, before he had time to lift the quilt that only half covered his legs, Li Zhongchen had turned over and got out of bed, leaving a sentence before leaving: "... I crossed the line, you should rest well, there will be someone when you wake up tomorrow morning." good news."
The words fell.
With the slight sound of closing the door, the long night without lights gradually extended, and the silence was frighteningly quiet.
And Qiao Yan sat on the bed with his head bowed all the time, and he didn't know how long he held this action deadlocked.
It wasn't until he rubbed the space between his brows, breathed out with difficulty, restrained the emotions that were going to be turbulent, and lost a lot of energy, that he regained the calm on the eve of the storm.
"It's raining in your world," he was rarely polite, and he couldn't help laughing at this thought, "I'm not a mess."
tonight.
How Qiao Di slept afterwards, Li Zhongchen had no way of knowing.
He moved to the second bedroom, and the warm yellow light made people feel tired.
He dug out the small paper bag he had brought from the drawer, and Li Zhongchen looked inside. It was the sugar jar he got in the amusement park last time with his skills, and the jar contained toffee wrapped in kraft paper.
Li Zhongchen kept another can at the base.
Qiao Yan's birthday candy, he greedily wanted to hoard it, even if it was a bit self-deceiving.
It is rare to become more careful about the rough and small thoughts.
There was a lilac post-it note stuck to the edge of the sugar bowl, with the words "everything is going well" written on it. It was written by Li Zhongchen.
——His handwriting is not creepy at all, very sharp. He practiced it with Xiao Xun's grandparents when he was a child.
There is heating at home, and Li Zhongchen is only wearing a pure white loose T-shirt.
He walked out of the room and hung the paper bag firmly on the doorknob of the master bedroom, wishing that the case would be won and that Qiao Yan would have good luck.
Then I turned around the hall and glanced at the cat brother and sister cat, it was time to go back to the room and sleep.
Before waking up the next day.
Instead, Li Zhongchen really dreamed about the past events that happened.
He dreamed of being in his hometown that year.
On the plains of mountains and fields, Viola flowers and peacock grass can be seen everywhere, Qiao Yan pressed himself on the grass, and the fifteen-year-old boys looked at each other, and the sound of heavy breathing gradually subsided.
"Xiao Qiao, why did you..." Li Zhongchen was moved, after all it was his first kiss.
But his body was extremely stiff, panicked, he didn't react and wanted to push Qiao Yan away: "... why did you kiss me, I'm not a girl."
This scene is actually quite funny.
At that time, Li Zhongchen was at the age of jumping up, and his height was at least 1.8 meters.
And Qiao Yan was not as tall as him, and his figure was also slender. He didn't feel any weight on Li Zhongchen's body, and his face was beautiful and handsome, so he should be more like a girl.
"Because I like you," Qiao Yan said very bluntly, "so I can't help but want to kiss you."
Fifteen-year-old Qiao Yan has been influenced by overseas family society since childhood.
When he came to China to participate in international volunteer work, he met Li Zhongchen. They had the same hobbies, and they chatted with enthusiasm and longing. He also knew Li Zhongchen's family situation.
Qiao Yan had to admit that he fell in love with Li Zhongchen at first sight.
No matter in appearance or figure, they are not inferior to those self-confident white teenagers in their private high school.
At that time, the wind was like a wind chime, and the clouds in the sky were endless.
But Li Zhongchen was dumbfounded. He hadn't even held a girl's hand before being kissed by the beautiful young man in front of him. His mood was completely mixed, and he was vaguely excited: "... But I'm a man, Xiao Qiao, are you It's not a misunderstanding."
"You mean you hate me, don't you?"
"No, how could I hate you, but this seems strange..."
"There are so many people, but you are only good to me, bring me glutinous rice cakes, help me complete volunteer tasks, come to the youth hostel by bicycle every night to find me, and you are reluctant to leave very late," Qiao Yan asked him , "I sprained my ankle when I went to the beach, and you walked a long way behind my back. Boys only do this to girls they like, so you should like me too."
Li Zhongchen was dumbfounded by Qiao Yan's question.
But Qiao Yan didn't give him a chance to catch his breath, and poked his straight bridge of nose with his fingers, in a coquettish tone: "Then you look at me, do you want to kiss me too?"
His gaze involuntarily stopped on Qiao Yan's lips, imagining what it would be like to touch them again.
It was so soft that you might not be able to resist wanting to bite it lightly, Li Zhongchen couldn't help swallowing, his face was hot, and the answer was completely instinctive: "Yes."
Later, Qiao Yan was so happy beyond description because of these words, and the kiss lasted for a long time.
What lingered in Li Zhongchen's mind was Qiao Yan's sentence: "Li Zhongchen, you kissed me, do you want to know about it?"
I know.
I will definitely treat you well, Qiao Yan, how can I treat you badly.
-wrong.
Li Zhongchen woke up suddenly.
He found himself lying on the bed in the second bedroom, and the bright sunlight was shining into the room. It didn't mean that the weather was good today, but that he had overslept.
"..." Li Zhongchen sat up abruptly, with lingering fear in his heart, and an indescribable shame for dreaming about the past.
Qiao Yan really said that sentence himself.
But the later self didn't treat Qiao Yan well.
It was such a frustrating feeling.
Li Zhongchen stroked his hair carelessly, and put on a round neck sweater with his gloves.
He didn't have time to think about it too much, what's the use of regretting now, no one knows better than him how he got here over the past year.
He can't change the past. And right now, he still has a chance, doesn't he—
So he rushed out of the room almost immediately.
The small paper bag hanging on the doorknob of the master bedroom was gone.
The kitten's meowing came from the living room, which lasted for a long time, and Qiao Yan said helplessly, "What's the use of you drilling me, I won't smooth your hair like him..."
Li Zhongchen walked with long legs.
His chest rose and fell slightly, and a few steps forward, he saw Qiao Yan sitting on the wicker chair on the balcony, basking in the sun.
Younger sister Ying Duan lay on the floor by herself.
And the younger brother Berman was nestled in Qiao Yan's arms, lazily, meowing all the time.
From Li Zhongchen's point of view.
Qiao Yan's appearance is more than Buddhist, he is living an old-age retirement life.
The bright sunshine reflected on the other party's face, which instantly made Li Zhongchen's heart skip a beat, thinking that the lawsuit must have been completely lost.
"Are you awake?" Qiao Yan turned his head to look at him, but smiled like a spring breeze, "I have good news for you, the lawsuit has been won."
"...?!"
Li Zhongchen's legs softened immediately, and he almost didn't kneel down.
"... Great," he said from the bottom of his heart, completely incoherent, "Congratulations, you won't be trapped by that contract anymore."
"Thank you for the sugar, too."
Qiao Yan picked up Berman's brother with his buttocks in his arms.
He stood up, looked at Li Zhongchen as equals, and approached step by step: "Haven't you been waiting for my answer?"
too fast.
Li Zhong stayed where he was, his head was not sober when he just woke up.
"I've thought about it for a long time, or it's still the same as before," Qiao Yan said, "let's use a bet to decide whether I will go to SVG or another team."
What? !
Li Zhongchen's face turned pale, and he faltered, "How do you want to bet...?"
Qiao Yan lifted his chin lightly.
Following that gaze, Li Zhongchen looked away and saw a sugar bowl on the coffee table.
"..." Li Zhongchen was terribly flustered. The time he gambled back then made him desensitized to such things as bets, but he was terribly afraid, "Qiao Yan."
"You can't afford it, can you?" Qiao Yan said to himself, "Let me talk about the rules first. First of all, I have never touched the candy in the jar. If you are afraid that I will tamper with it in advance, you don't have to worry about it." , I don't have to do that."
Li Zhongchen didn't answer.
Qiao Yan continued: "So, you can press the number of those candies in the jar, whether it is an odd number or an even number. If it is an odd number, I promise to sign into your team. If it is an even number, then I can only express Very regrettable."
"..." Li Zhongchen couldn't help raising his voice, "Why does it have to be an odd number instead of an even number?!"
Qiao Yan said with an indifferent attitude: "That's fine, you decide the rules, so now the decision is that an even number means I am willing to sign, right?"
Li Zhongchen wanted him to stop making trouble: "... why don't you tell me quickly, how OPW talked to you."
in an instant.
The atmosphere became particularly tense, and it was on the verge of breaking out.
"It's not as high as the conditions offered by your Manager Wang," Qiao Yan said indifferently, "The signing fee is three million a year, and the first team is airborne. Considering the tactical issues, I can take any position I want, and I can also let Xu Hang as my substitute."
Li Zhongchen's eyes blazed: "Then why are you still doing this now? No matter from any point of view, SVG is more suitable for your development than OPW. Yao Tong recognizes you, and I also..."
He forcibly held back the phrase "I need you too".
Qiao Yan still said: "So you can't afford it?"
"..." Li Zhongchen didn't speak.
"Why don't you just try, maybe you're lucky."
Li Zhongchen said that he really has no luck at all.
There was a stalemate for a long time.
In the end Li Zhongchen convinced himself.
"Are you sure you'll come to our team as long as it's an even number, aren't you?" He seemed to cheer himself up, walked to the coffee table, poured out the candy, and scattered the table, "Okay, how do you want to play with me?" I will accompany you, and now I will count them one by one in front of you..."
Qiao Yan narrowed his eyes slightly.
He knew that Li Zhongchen was acting out of anger.
"...two three, two four, two five..."
Count each candy.
Put them back in place and put them in the tank.
Until there is not much left on the table.
"... four five, four six."
The sound stopped abruptly with the movement.
Holding the last candy, Li Zhongchen looked up at Qiao Yan, his pupils flashed with avoidance, as if he was unwilling to tell the truth himself.
"Forty-seven." It was Qiao Yan's crisp voice that broke his defense.
Li Zhongchen stood up straight.
After squatting for a long time, he felt a little dizzy. He opened his mouth and was about to say something, but found that he couldn't make a sound.
Resign yourself to fate.
It seems that Li Zhongchen can only think so.
But right now, he saw Qiao Yan gently put Brother Cat on the floor.
Then he approached unceremoniously, moved quickly, and grabbed the last candy in his hand with one hand.
He watched as Qiao Yan peeled off the kraft paper.
He squatted down and pushed the exposed toffee to Brother Cat's mouth, and the latter obediently stuck out his tongue and licked it, and then again.
Li Zhongchen didn't react for a long time.
"Why did you eat the candy from your shit-shoveling officer?" Qiao Yan turned his back to Li Zhongchen, as if expressing his dissatisfaction with Brother Cat's behavior, "It's all right now, there are only forty-six candies left in the jar gone."
"..." Li Zhongchen's heart hung in his throat.
Qiao Yan: "It's an even number."
Li Zhongchen's voice trembled: "So you..."
Qiao Yan: "I have no choice but to sign."
