Views:

When he was in college, Bai Fang once said that Shen Luo was a sinister and coquettish person.

For example, after doing something, you are obviously very happy in your heart, but you have to pretend to be angry so that others will feel that you owe him.

And Shen Luo never felt that there was anything wrong with doing so.

He has never been a person who suffers. If you give it out once, you will always order more next time.

Shen Luo actually knew Xia Yiyang earlier than Bai Fang, and he had noticed Xia Yiyang when he was a freshman.

Compared with a group of boys who could only be regarded as ordinary at best, and most of them were below average, Xia Yiyang stood out from the crowd.

The eyebrows are delicate and clean, like icy lemonade in summer, full of youthful spirit.

Shen Luo held up the SLR camera, and the camera couldn't help chasing after it.

The boy turned his face, as if he didn't expect that someone would be photographing him, he was stunned for a few seconds, and suddenly smiled at the camera.

Shen Luo sat cross-legged on the white blanket in the living room, he opened the locked cabinet, rummaged through it for a while, and found the photo of the freshmen's registration.

After looking at it carefully for a while, he felt a little like smoking, and it took him a long time to remember that he had quit.

When Shen Luo went to get the e-cigarette, he made a phone call by the way, and the other end answered quickly.

"It's me." Shen Luo walked to the balcony.

What was said on the other end of the phone, Shen Luo said "hmm" a few times: "There is no need to follow, I am already back, and I should not leave if there is no accident."

Shen Luo listened for a while, and said with a smile: "Send me all the photos taken before, do you know the address?"

A string of place names was reported on the opposite side.

"It's been so hard for so many years." Shen Luo said lightly, "I hope I can have a good death with your good words."

After hanging up the phone, Shen san sat on the balcony and took a few more puffs of the e-cigarette. After the smoke dissipated, he turned back and locked the photo in the cabinet again.

A new message popped up on the phone beside him. At first, Shen Luo thought it was about a photo, but after a closer look, it was from Zhang Ning.

She was a little distant, cautious and polite, and asked him if he would go home for dinner on weekends.

When Xia Yiyang went to the store the next day, he looked like he hadn't slept well. He found that he hadn't slept well for a few days since Shen Luo came for the checkup. He said that he was two months old and ten years old. exaggerate.

Seeing his face, Cai Cai couldn't help but feel distressed and said, "It feels like there are more crow's feet."

Xia Yiyang: "Then can you lend me some eye cream?"

Cai Cai sneered and said, "Don't try to lie to my old lady's LAMER, 1700 eye cream, I don't even want to blink after applying it on my eyelids!"

Xia Yiyang comforted her: "Fortunately, your eyes are not big, and you can use them well."

Cai Cai was so angry that she wanted to bite him.

Shen Luo always came very early, he changed into a dark suit that he hadn't seen before, with his bangs copied on it, when he was sitting in the conference room with a serious demeanor, he had a very demeanor of Shen.

Xia Yiyang made a pot of tea and walked to the door, and happened to be seen by him.

Shen Chu raised his chin: "Mr. Xia won't come in?"

Xia Yiyang moved in slowly.

Shen Luo laughed and asked him: "What are you going to eat tonight?"

Before Xia Yiyang answered, the other four boys in the conference room raised their heads first.

Shen Luo glanced at it, and said in a deep voice, "I didn't ask you guys what to look at."

No one dared to speak out, so they all lowered their heads obediently.

"..." Xia Yiyang took a sip of tea with lingering fear, thinking what a tyrant, tyrant!

Xia Yiyang suggested to have a la carte for dinner, Shen Luo of course had no objection, the two drove to Wanda, but ended up parking in the underground parking garage for a long time.

"Not every weekend can be crowded like this." Xia Yiyang complained while waiting for the parking space.

Shen Luo looked outside: "Many young lovers come to watch movies after work."

Xia Yiyang suddenly said: "I haven't watched a movie for a long time."

Shen Luo: "Then wait and see after dinner?"

Xia Yiyang was actually just talking for fun, and Shen Luo really took the blame, so he didn't know whether he should agree, but the people around him were obviously action-oriented, and the ticket was booked within a minute on the app.

"What movie did you order?" Xia Yiyang leaned over to look at Shen Luo's phone.

Shen Luo took advantage of the situation and stretched out his hand, half-embracing him in his arms: "You can decide whatever you want, there are only a few shows in the night show, anyway, it's not love."

Xia Yiyang glanced at him, and didn't care about the hand on his waist. Finally, there was a new space in front of him, and Xia Yiyang hurriedly parked the car.

Fortunately, the seats were booked in advance, otherwise the popularity of Weizhuang would not be able to be ranked for an hour or two. Shen Luo gave the menu to Xia Yiyang. He has not been in China for so many years, so he has no idea of the development speed of domestic food.

Xia Yiyang ordered quickly. While waiting for the table, the waiter who he couldn't help poured the tea and took the tableware by himself. Shen Luo did nothing but took pictures with his mobile phone.

"I ordered a squirrel mandarin fish." Xia Yiyang sat down and took a sip of tea, "Do you still remember the taste?"

Shen Luo: "I like that one, it's sweet."

Xia Yiyang smiled: "How much weight did you gain when you came back?"

"If you say that, you won't be able to live." Shen Luo put away his phone, looked at Xia Yiyang and said, "By the way, how many years have you lived alone?"

Xia Yiyang recalled: "It's been seven or eight years. My parents retired early. One raised flowers and plants, and the other walked the dog and pet the cat. It was pretty good."

Shen Luo: "Not urging you to get married?"

Xia Yiyang clicked his tongue: "The two of you are busier than me, how can you have time for me?"

Shen Luo smiled: "Not bad."

Xia Yiyang asked him, "What about you?"

"My parents have also figured it out." Shen Luo said calmly, "I have been away for fifteen years, and they are getting older, so they are finally willing to let me come back."

Xia Yiyang was silent for a while, and said, "It's better to come back after all."

Shen Luo braced his face: "Do you want me to come back or not?"

Xia Yiyang glared at him: "I've already answered, is it interesting to ask this question?"

"I think it's quite interesting." Shen Luo reached out and poked Xia Yiyang's face across the table, "Hurry up."

Xia Yiyang couldn't avoid it, so he could only hold his fingertips: "Don't make trouble."

The waiter happened to bring up the dishes, and when he saw the two big men holding hands, Xia Yiyang was a little embarrassed, but Shen Luo turned his back on the customer and grabbed his fingers and couldn't move back. Fortunately, the other party didn't say anything, and left the plate silently up.

Shen Luo finally let go.

Xia Yiyang was so nervous that his fingertips were burning hot, and he stuttered when he spoke: "Eat, eat."

Shen Luo opened his mouth, but finally he could only sigh: "You are so cute."

When the squirrel mandarin fish came up, it really suited Shen Luo's taste. He almost ate the whole fish. In the end, the man still poked the deep-fried crumbs with his chopsticks, his face full of satisfaction.

"Why don't I order another one for you." Xia Yiyang said simply.

Shen Luo licked the ketchup stuck to his fingertips: "Next time, I have to watch a movie." He signaled the waiter to bring the POS machine.

"I think young people pay directly with their mobile phones now." Shen Luo finished swiping his card and said, "It's not so convenient for me abroad."

Xia Yiyang: "That's easy, just tie a WeChat card for you."

Shen Luo: "Isn't WeChat still able to send out red envelopes?"

Xia Yiyang: "Someone sent it to you?"

Shen Luo: "Just kidding, in our work group, the leaders only have to give out red envelopes."

Xia Yiyang laughed. In fact, they are quite alike. A bunch of subordinates in the work group are like young birds. They have to be fed during the holidays. Xia Yiyang has only received red envelopes from Chen Hui so far. , The other party is also very picky, sending up to 100, just like sending off his son.

Shen Luo went to pick up the movie tickets, Xia Yiyang went to the counter to buy popcorn and drinks, the two passed the ticket gate one after the other, only to find out after entering the venue, compared with the heterosexual couples who booked the whole hall, it was really nondescript .

The reserved seats are still the best row in the middle, with two seats in the middle.

The young lovers on both sides looked at them with unexplained eyes.

Holding the popcorn, Xia Yiyang really wanted to watch a movie because he felt his brain was flooded.

Shen Luo said that he didn't pick romantic movies, but in fact he did.

Xia Yiyang thought to himself, no wonder so many couples have suffered so many times, but they still don't have a long memory and fell for his dog.

The screening room was very quiet, and the pace of the film was also very slow. It was about an old-fashioned love story. Xia Yiyang was a little lost in watching it, and his attention was attracted by the young couple sitting next to him.

This couple's kiss was really in full swing, infatuated... Xia Yiyang looked at his old face and blushed, thinking of youth, youth in his heart.

Of course, at his twenty-year-old age, he would still be embarrassed to do this, but no matter what, he was much bolder than he is now.

In the movie, the male and female protagonists are middle-aged, but they are clearly in love with each other but they just don’t talk about it. The little girl next to them sighed softly after kissing: "Hey, it’s so tangled."

Her boyfriend didn't know what to say, but Xia Yiyang couldn't help turning his head to look at Shen Luo.

Shen Luo concentrated on eating popcorn, his eyes seemed to be glued to the screen, and he didn't move.

Xia Yiyang wanted to laugh, so he pursed his lips hard.

In the end, Shen Luo actually turned his head.

The two met eyes in the dark, and they could see clearly.

"What are you laughing at?" Shen Luo asked softly.

Xia Yiyang pointed to the corner of his mouth: "The popcorn is stuck."

Shen Luo stuck out his tongue and licked it: "What now?"

Xia Yiyang smiled again: "No more."

Shen Luo was relieved, and turned to continue watching the movie.

In the second half, Xia Yiyang almost watched the movie with his head propped up. As expected, the hero and heroine on the screen were entangled until the end and still didn't say anything. The young couple next to him was obviously a little impatient, and the little girl complained for a long time when they left.

Shen Luo waited until the screen was completely black before standing up: "Let's go."

Xia Yiyang got up and found that the popcorn was all eaten.

"Is the movie good?" Shen Luo asked when going down to the basement to pick up the car.

Xia Yiyang held the car door and thought for a while: "It's okay."

Shen Luo sat in the co-pilot: "You don't like it?"

Xia Yiyang drove the car out, was silent for a while, and then slowly said: "I really don't like it very much."

I don't like it because it's too similar, as if I'm looking at myself.

Xia Yiyang couldn't describe that feeling, he felt that this was a bad movie, with a cowardly hero and an unlovable heroine, no matter how you looked at it, it didn't meet the taste of an excellent movie.

But people in middle age seem to still be like that.

When he watched the movie, what flashed in his memory like fragments was fifteen years ago. Everything was beautiful, everything was presumptuous, and he worked hard when he liked someone, for fear that he would not know.

Xia Yiyang thought about it, he was really stupid in college, if it wasn't because of the early age, not to mention the popularity of homosexuality, not many people knew about it, but now, as long as he is not blind, he can do it I can see his thoughts.

Fortunately, Shen Luo was really blind at that time.

Xia Yiyang thought happily.

He is at this age now, he should have passed the vigorous and vigorous life long ago, and his heart is broken.

He really didn't have the courage to say like, say love, and promise to the person he loves like those young ordinary couples.

He is not afraid of not being able to give it, but he is afraid of not being able to get it.

As he got older, he was more greedy than anyone else, and he would rather linger on to live longer than to be touched by a flash in the pan.

"Middle-aged people like to be ambiguous." Shen Luo commented, not only ridiculed but also praised, "This movie has made this kind of thing."

Xia Yiyang smiled perfunctorily. He concentrated on driving without speaking.

Being able to have an ambiguous skin-to-skin relationship with the person you like is a dream, idiot.

Xia Yiyang couldn't help but cursed again in his heart.

You know shit, idiot.
