Although Wen Xunchuan spoke ruthlessly early in the morning, in the end he was the dog he got up to go for a walk.

When He Linzhou woke up from this luxurious return sleep, the sky outside the window had already darkened. He sat up from the bed with his chest bare, raised his hand and rubbed the stinging back of his neck, and touched the swollen tooth marks with his palm. The pain caused him to frown, bared his teeth and cursed, "Fuck, wild dog."

Just after cursing, a black and white figure rushed over with a "swoosh", jumped onto the bed and threw himself into his arms, licked his tongue on the shoulders of his collarbone, raised his face and gave him a "woof".

He Linzhou pulled the quilt in disgust and wiped the drool on his body, raised his hand and knocked on its head, "I didn't scold you."

He hooked his head and looked outside the bedroom door, and asked, "Where's your father?"

Today is Saturday, Wen Xunchuan went back home as usual.

Wen Shuyuan and his students were doing research in the laboratory and did not come back for dinner at night. Only Zhao Yushu and Aunt Chen were at home.

Wen Xunchuan sat on the sofa with his mother and watched the news for a while without embarrassment. Fortunately, Aunt Chen brought the food to the table quickly, which finally broke the embarrassing atmosphere between mother and child.

Zhao Yushu picked up the bowl to eat, and asked without raising her head, "Did you meet your Aunt Wang's daughter last week?"

Wen Xunchuan sighed in his heart, and replied: "Yes."

Zhao Yushu then asked: "How is the girl?"

"Very good." Wen Xunchuan said.

Only then did Zhao Yushu look up at him, "Then..."

He was interrupted by Wen Xunchuan before he finished speaking. He looked up at his mother and continued what he said just now: "She is very tolerant of homosexuality, and our communication is also very smooth."

Zhao Yushu narrowed her eyes and looked at him for a while, pursed her lips, lowered her head and said, "It's fine if you don't like it, my classmate's daughter is studying for a Ph.

Before Wen Xunchuan could speak, the mobile phone rang.

Zhao Yushu's eyes fell on the caller ID that lit up on his screen, and the fingers holding the chopsticks turned slightly white. Wen Xunchuan looked at the phone call from home, did not shy away from the mother on the other side, and raised his hand to answer it.

As soon as the phone was connected, He Linzhou's voice came from the receiver: "Where are you?"

Wen Xunchuan replied: "My family, what's wrong?"

"I'm hungry—" He Linzhou dragged his throat, his voice sounded lazy, and his nasal voice was a bit heavy, and he could tell he had just woken up, "When are you coming back?"

"I'll be back later." Wen Xunchuan glanced at his mother who was not very good-looking from the corner of his eye, deliberately softened his voice, and said to the person on the other end of the phone, "Be patient, good boy, I will take you later." Have a big meal."

As expected, the opposite side was quiet for a while, and then, "Are you sick?"

Wen Xunchuan's expression did not change, he still had that gentle expression, his tone was almost pampering, "You change your clothes first, I'll go back right away."

"Don't be disgusting, brother, just order me a takeaway—"

"beep."

Wen Xunchuan hung up the phone, put the phone in his pocket with his head down, and said to Zhao Yushu, "Mom, I'm going back first."

Zhao Yushu lowered her head and ate her meal by herself, without changing her face, she said, "Well, tomorrow I will send you the WeChat account of my classmate's daughter."

Wen Xunchuan got up, picked up his coat from the back of the chair and put it on, looked up at his mother across the dining table, took a deep breath, parted his thin lips, tried to make his tone sound calmer, and shouted: "mom."

Zhao Yushu responded, "En."

"Leave yourself alone, and me too."

Zhao Yushu didn't look up, nor did she answer.

After Wen Xunchuan put on his coat, he turned around and walked towards the gate. When Wen Xunchuan was about to reach the gate, he heard his mother behind him say softly: "Well, don't come back in the future, we will pretend that you are not here. This son."

Wen Xunchuan paused for a moment with his hand on the doorknob, and after a while, he squeezed out a few words from his tense voice: "Got it."

Holding the hung up phone, He Linzhou glanced inexplicably, "You must be crazy."

Five minutes later, he changed his clothes and sat on the sofa. Before his butt warmed up, he got up and went into the bedroom to change into a more formal one. He was thinking about it: what kind of dinner would you like to eat? Wild dog conscience found out

When Wen Xunchuan called, He Linzhou had just picked out a bottle of a mild scent from his perfume rack and sprayed it on. Before going out, he didn't forget to add food and water to Chunmei's food bowl.

He Linzhou pushed open the door of the apartment on the first floor, and saw that Xun Chuan was standing by the side of the road with one hand in his pocket, the cool night wind gently messing up his hair, with a nearly burnt cigarette between his fingers, but he He didn't seem to notice it at all, and his eyes didn't know where to look.

Looks pretty shabby... and kind of fucking handsome.

He Linzhou went up to take the cigarette from his hand, brought the end of the cigarette to his mouth and took a puff. The smoke he exhaled was blown by the oncoming wind and his eyes were squinted. He tilted his head and asked, "What about the concave shape?"

Wen Xunchuan came back to his senses, and was the first to smell the familiar smell of cologne beside him. He turned his head and glanced at He Linzhou, only to realize that he had dressed up specially. His gray shirt with gold stamping It's quite coquettish to be dressed by him.

Wen Xunchuan's gaze followed his slightly open neckline to the cigarette butt in his hand, and he said speechlessly, "Are you addicted?"

He Linzhou thought he was talking about a cigarette addiction, so he said: "No, I'm just a little greedy watching you smoke."

"I thought you were addicted to smoking other people's cigarettes." Wen Xunchuan glanced at him, then turned and walked towards the gate of the community.

Only then did He Linzhou come to his senses, he casually twirled the cigarette butt on the trash can beside him, and followed quickly, "Why are you so stingy? You care so much about smoking your cigarette butt?"

"...Dirty or not." Wen Xunchuan said.

"Kissing is not dirty, but smoking a cigarette makes you hate it?" He Linzhou turned his head and glanced at him, speechless, and concluded, "Stupid/crazy."

Wen Xunchuan was a little speechless, "This is so stupid/crazy."

He Linzhou laughed aloud, and said, "Have you never heard a word? There are only two types of people in the eyes of men, idiots and idiots."

Wen Xunchuan gave him a blank look, but didn't answer.

He Linzhou followed him for a while, then turned to look at the garage, and asked him, "Where are you going to eat? Don't you drive?"

"not open."

Wen Xunchuan led him out of the community, passed through a small alley in the back street, and walked around for a long time before stopping in front of an open-air food stall.

He Linzhou was stunned at the time, and looked at Wen Xunchuan beside him in disbelief: "The big meal you're talking about is this broken night market stall?"

"Yeah." Wen Xunchuan walked over to find a seat and sat down, lowering his head and sketching on the menu.

He Linzhou sat down opposite him, took off his casual suit jacket with some embarrassment, looked at Wen Xunchuan on the opposite side, and cursed in a low voice: "Didn't you say you were eating barbecue, fuck, it's appropriate for me to dress like this to sit in a food stall ?"

Wen Xunchuan raised his eyes and glanced at him, then lowered his head and continued to look at the menu, "It's quite suitable, in line with your silly/crazy temperament."

"..." He Linzhou glared at him, and raised his hands angrily to loosen his gelled hair.
