Shu Jin, who went to sleep after confessing, recalled in his dreams the scene of saying this to Sheng Xinghe many times.
In the summer evening when we ate smoothies together, after hiding under a tree and kissing while walking the dog together, when we were making cakes together, when we were traveling together, and when we were doing some kind of intense exercise, I lost my voice.
He once said "I love you" to Sheng Xinghe many times, but on the day of breaking up, Sheng Xinghe asked him, "Have you ever loved me?"
Shu Jin didn't give an answer that day, but kept telling Sheng Xinghe "I love you" in his heart.
In the past few years, I don't know if Sheng Xinghe heard it.
This time Sheng Xinghe heard it.
When Shu Jin woke up, the sky turned a little dark. There was only a small high window in the small cubicle, and a few gray clouds could be seen floating in the sky outside the window.
They still kept the position they were in when they fell asleep, Sheng Xinghe was awake and his eyes were on him.
Shu Jin rubbed his eyes, then closed it and rubbed it into Sheng Xinghe's arms: "Is the alarm clock still going?"
Sheng Xinghe: "I turned it off."
Shu Jin gave an "oh" and asked, "What time is it now?"
Sheng Xinghe said, "Four o'clock in the afternoon." His tone was calm, and he asked, "Would you like to sleep a little longer?"
Shu Jin was startled when he heard the words, and immediately woke up. He quickly sat up and said, "Why have I slept for so long?", and rubbed his left arm again, keeping it in a sleeping position for a long time, which made it numb.
Looking back, he saw that Sheng Xinghe was also sitting up, but he still looked at him quietly, with deep emotions in his eyes, he thought something was going to happen.
Shu Jin opened his mouth to ask, but Sheng Xinghe leaned over and kissed him on the lips, with a little bit of sucking force, but it was short-lived and closed at the touch of a button.
There was a slight noise between the kisses, and Shu Jin's face instantly became hot, and he sat blankly not knowing what to do.
After Sheng Xinghe kissed Shu Jin's forehead, he said solemnly, "You can stay for a while, or play with the computer outside for a while. I still have a few things to deal with, so I'll ask them to go together at half past six. have dinner."
Sure enough, in the evening, Sheng Xinghe brought a few people who were working overtime in the company for dinner. As one of the bosses arranged for everyone to work overtime, Sheng Xinghe was naturally the target of slaughter, not to mention Shu Jin came, these people were even more excited.
When he arrived at the destination, there happened to be a mobile phone operator shop nearby. Sheng Xinghe asked Jiang Jiang to order food first, and he took Shu Jin to pick out a mobile phone.
Shu Jin hasn't changed his phone for a few years, so he simply picked the latest model.
A mobile phone is worth more than half a month's salary. He frowned and felt distressed. He couldn't help but miss his old mobile phone.
Sheng Xinghe paid the money and took him to refill the card. Only then did Shu Jin find a sense of reconnecting with the world.
The new mobile phone has more functions and the system has been updated more. Shu Jin's attention was diverted on the way back to the restaurant, and he kept fiddling with the mobile phone and asked Sheng Xinghe a few questions.
"It's worth it. I knew I had changed it earlier." Shu Jin commented and sighed, "If I change it earlier, the old one can still be replaced with a new one."
Sheng Xinghe relentlessly pointed out: "Then what you lost this time will be a new phone."
Shu Jin: "..." That makes sense.
After Sheng Xinghe finished complaining, he ordered him not to look at the phone again: "Put it away and walk well."
They stood outside the mall, and there were many children gathered beside the fountain with colorful lights, and there were big red lanterns and Chinese knots hanging everywhere.
Shu Jin put the phone in his coat pocket, walked a few steps side by side with Sheng Xinghe, and was naturally held by Sheng Xinghe.
People come and go on the street, and someone might notice them.
But Sheng Xinghe doesn't seem to care about this at all. He is no longer the teenager he used to be, and has completely become an adult who has enough confidence to go his own way, so no matter how others judge them, it doesn't matter to him.
Shu Jin only hesitated for a second, then quietly held Sheng Xinghe back, even forgetting the freshness of the new phone he just bought, staring at Sheng Xinghe's right face the whole time.
Shu Jin guessed that Sheng Xinghe already knew that he had something to hide from him.
The old mobile phone that has been used for a few years, the cheap and cramped housing, the house that was sold last time, and all his current food and clothing expenses, it can be seen that his economic situation has changed a lot. The change.
It can be said that the current Shu Jin is completely different from the previous Shu Jin.
The world seems to have turned upside down, and now he and Sheng Xinghe are the other way around.
But luckily, they are still trying to get close to each other.
During the meal, Sheng Xinghe formally introduced Shu Jin to everyone, without any extra prefixes, and said in his usual concise tone, "My boyfriend, Shu Jin."
Everyone applauded.
Shu Jin reluctantly held himself up to not blush or be ashamed, and earn face for Sheng Xinghe.
It's a pity that when he picked up the chopsticks, he almost didn't hold it firmly. The phrase "boyfriend" made his heart beat very disobedient, because this was the first time they used such a title to identify each other, not a "friend". Not a "brother", but a boyfriend.
"Shu Jin, I heard Jiang Jiang mention you!" said the young male colleague who was holding chocolates on Sheng Xinghe's table in the morning, "I heard that you only met when President Sheng was on a business trip last time. !"
Shu Jin looked up and saw Jiang Jiang wink at him, and he relaxed a little: "Well, I won the luxury tour at the company's annual meeting, and I happened to meet him on a business trip."
The male colleague slapped his thigh: "It's such a coincidence, it's fate at first sight!"
The corners of Sheng Xinghe's lips rose, and it could be seen that he was in a good mood.
Shu Jin also smiled: "It's my luck, maybe the lucky value has accumulated to that day."
Jiang Jiang said: "Shu Jin broke his knee that day. After returning home, Mr. Sheng arranged for me to buy medicine. I didn't even get out of the elevator, so I went downstairs again."
She said something Shu Jin didn't know, and joked, "I haven't seen Mr. Sheng care so much about anyone, and he didn't say a word to anyone in the elevator, so why did he care? Later, Sheng, The gentleman called the hotel to complain that the swimming pool floor was too slippery, I just found out what happened~"
And this thing
Shu Jin was embarrassed, and immediately turned his head and said to Sheng Xinghe, "Actually, the ground of the hotel is not slippery at all. I stumbled on it myself. The hotel is really a little wrong. Otherwise... I will call and explain to them."
Sheng Xinghe gracefully arranged dishes for him and joked, "It's okay, the hotel owner doesn't dare to have any opinion."
Shu Jin was shocked, is Sheng Xinghe so faint!
Another older male colleague answered: "Hahaha Shu Jin, don't be nervous, the boss is Mr. Sheng's old friend! Otherwise, why does Mr. Sheng live in that house every time he goes? But that's how he met him. yours."
Sheng Xinghe: "So I want to send him a red envelope?"
Everyone laughed.
When the meal was halfway through, someone came late and pushed in the door.
The visitor was tall and big, and he looked familiar. Everyone called him "Mr. Jing". Shu Jin vaguely remembered that this was Sheng Xinghe's college classmate Jing Chao, who Sheng Xinghe mentioned last time.
Jing Chao sat down and asked people to add tableware and chopsticks, and said a few words of "Happy New Year" to everyone, and looked directly at Shu Jin: "Long time no see."
The other party's eyes were like a sharp blade, looking straight into the heart, Shu Jin was a little scared: "Long time no see."
But in the next second, Jing Chao showed his white teeth and said cheerfully: "I only ran over when I heard that you were here, this time I will help our President Sheng to keep you in jail, don't you remember to run Ha!"
Sheng Xinghe raised his eyes: "Drink your tea."
It was originally just a simple meal, but because of Shu Jin's identity, it almost turned into his banquet, and he enjoyed it happily.
Shu Jin did not reject such an arrangement. In fact, it was not until this night that he really understood what Sheng Xinghe's working environment and interpersonal relationships were like, not in illusory fantasies.
After the meal, everyone said goodbye at the door. Shu Jin was a little dizzy after drinking two glasses of wine. Sheng Xinghe went to the intersection to call for a car.
Jing Chao, who stayed with him, suddenly said, "Don't leave him this time."
The cold wind shaved his face, and Shu Jin was startled, only to see Jing Chao's expression a little serious.
Seeing his surprised look, Jing Chao smiled again, and said in a slow tone, "Don't be nervous, I'm just an outsider, and I know it's not easy for you. If it was me, I might also... But you are different, Shu Jin, I believe you will be different."
Shu Jin lowered his head, pondered for two or three seconds, and nodded: "Yeah!"
Jing Chao didn't say how Sheng Xinghe lived in those years, nor did he accuse Shu Jin, but just told him one thing: "I know you will be different, guess what?"
Shu Jin: "What?"
Jing Chao said: "Sheng Xinghe asked me two years ago, saying that there is a prosthetic eye technology that is very mature, except that it cannot restore vision, and the appearance looks almost the same as ordinary people. He said that if he went to accept this technological transformation , if I go back to find you again, will the burden on your heart be easier?"
Shu Jin froze, his mind went blank.
two years ago
At that time, they hadn't met again. Did Sheng Xinghe, who has always been proud, ever plan to do this
"As you can see, of course he didn't do it later." Jing Chao said, "I don't approve of what he did. If he has such requirements, it's understandable. Everyone has to make themselves look better. But I know him so well that he didn't care about it at all. If he did the operation just to make others look at him, the part of him that belonged to him would be completely disintegrated. At that time, we quarreled. It was very bad. He wanted to ask my opinion, but he refused to listen to me. He insisted on doing it, and even did the preoperative examination. But in the end, I don’t know why he didn’t go, I thought he gave up.”
Shu Jin's eyes were red and he looked a little pitiful.
Jing Chao said: "This time, when he came back from a business trip, I knew that he still didn't let you down in his heart."
A car came slowly towards them.
Sheng Xinghe called for the car and walked back along the road.
Jing Chao: "In other words, he can't let you go."
