Yu Fan leaned stiffly on the wardrobe, stopped breathing, and petrified with the three people on the sofa looking up at him, as if they were waiting for a gust of wind to blow them into powder.
Until there was the sound of Chen Jingshen opening the door to take out food.
Zuo Kuan was the first to speak: "So your breakfast is at the back, it must have been delivered by mistake. Haha!"
Wang Lu'an: "That's right. Haha! Let me check the order - 402 Youlin Community, Mr. Chen, please note, send a message, don't knock on the door, someone is sleeping..."
"It must be that pretentious guy next door who wrote the wrong house number!" Zuo Kuan slapped his thigh, "Yu Fan's surname is not Chen!"
Wang Lu'an: "That's—"
"I'm sorry, Mr. Chen! It's about to time out and I'm a little anxious. I forgot your note telling me not to knock on the door! I'm really sorry!" On the other end, the delivery boy who delivered breakfast nodded and bowed towards the crack of the door.
"It's okay." Chen Jingshen said.
The surrounding fell into silence again, Zhang Wenjing covered her face, wishing to kill herself who came with them.
"Why is this..." Wang Lu'an felt that the situation was awkward, and interrupted with a dry smile, "Although Yu Fan didn't talk about girlfriends, it's normal to have a few like-minded people! Why does your atmosphere look like Yu Fan and Xueba? It's gay! Haha..."
The last two stiff laughter gradually weakened when Chen Jingshen walked into the living room, and then stopped.
Although there are many marks on Yu Fan's neck, the area is small. They can be regarded as allergies or mosquito bites, but Chen Jingshen...
Chen Jingshen was wearing a round-neck T-shirt, which couldn't hide the two teeth marks on his neck, and the red marks from the collarbone to the Adam's apple. These marks are either from a fight with someone, or from someone... The target has to be a fierce one.
With a swipe, Chen Jingshen took back the paper bag on Wang Luan's lap and the grease in his hand, turned his head and put it on the TV cabinet. Then he opened the takeaway that had just been delivered, took out a bowl of clear white porridge under several scorching gazes, and said to the person leaning on the closet motionless: "Eat some first."
Thousands of words flowed through Yu Fan's throat, but in the end he only came up with one sentence: "Chen Jingshen, I'm sorry for your uncle."
This house is not going to last. Fortunately, Wang Luan was prepared before coming.
Of course they didn't come here just to celebrate their birthdays. Well, Ningcheng is a famous tourist city, so they shouldn't go around and see the scenery.
So before he came, he asked his friend to borrow a car, and the other party had already sent the car to the downstairs of the community and handed over the key to him.
But Wang Lu'an came in a hurry, didn't bring a driver's license, Zuo Kuan drove irregularly, and was fined little by little, and Zhang Wenjing didn't learn it directly.
In the end, the heavy responsibility of driving was handed over to Chen Jingshen.
When they came to Ningcheng, it was naturally Yu Fan who took him to play. After getting into the car, Chen Jingshen put on his seat belt and asked the people around him, "Where are you going?"
There was not even a slight change in the facial muscles of the other party. I just took out my mobile phone and connected it to the car's Bluetooth. Not long after, the sweet voice of the navigation came out: "Ready to go, the whole journey is 16 kilometers, and it will take about 40 minutes."
There were three people sitting behind, looking out the window on both sides, and Wang Lu'an sitting in the middle put his hands between his legs and stared at the road in front of him in self-defeating.
The car was quiet until the second traffic light, Wang Luan clenched her toes to break the atmosphere: "Can you smoke, Xueba?"
"Anything you want." Chen Jingshen said.
The two car windows at the back slowly slid down, and the three people at the back lit a cigarette at the same time, and the car was suddenly filled with smoke.
"What's your situation now?" Zhang Xianjing couldn't bear it any longer, she simply gritted her teeth and asked, "Are you back together?"
The two next to him straightened their necks curiously, and turned to look at Zhang Wenjing in shock when they heard the last sentence.
"You've always known about this, Sister Jing?" Wang Lu'an was stunned, "What do you mean by getting back together???"
Zhang Wenjing frowned and closed her eyes, and waved her hand holding a cigarette: "Think for yourself."
"..."
Wang Lu'an couldn't hold back anymore. He propped his hands on the two seats in front, stretched his head forward, and questioned the two parties in front: "You guys talked before? When?? Couldn't it be... high school... right..."
"Can you say it?" Chen Jingshen turned his head to look at the co-pilot.
Wang Luan: "?"
Yu Fan stared out of the window, his sitting posture was a bit strange, and he was huddled in the passenger seat. Hearing the words, he didn't say a word, but raised his hand to send Chen Jingshen an international friendly gesture.
That is to say.
Chen Jingshen pressed his finger back and said yes.
"But it's divided now." Yu Fan answered indifferently.
"When was it divided?" Chen Jingshen asked.
"Now."
"I didn't agree."
"You promise? Who are you?" Yu Fan withdrew his hand, "Get out, drive your car, don't look at me."
Wang Luan: "..."
As if being hit hard, Wang Luan lay back in a daze, leaning against Zuo Kuan who had the same reaction.
The content of the conversation between the two is almost the same as in high school, the tone and reaction.
When was high school? He stayed with Yu Fan every day, so how could he not have any signs of it—no.
"No wonder." Wang Lu'an suddenly realized, and murmured, "No wonder Xueba even escaped the fucking midterm exam because of you, and you begged Fat Tiger to let him retake the exam—"
"I'm fucking doing it for myself!" Yu Fan suddenly turned his head when the embarrassing incident was brought up without warning.
"I just said..." Zuo Kuannahan, "At that time we fought with those idiots in the billiard hall, I said why did you chase after Xueba when you saw it, so you went to fuck the other person like Zhu Xu..."
Yu Fan's scalp exploded, and he refused to admit it: "I'm crazy to coax—"
Wang Lu'an: "And that time when I asked you to go to an indoor amusement park. You said you were going on a date, and then the two of you came out of the movie theater hugging each other!"
Why is it still artistically processed? ? Yu Fan was shocked: "No embrace—"
Zuo Kuan: "Oh grass, Wang Lu'an, do you still remember? During the parents' meeting, Yu Fan held up a broom and swore that he would marry Xueba!"
Yu Fan: "I marry a—"
Wang Lu'an clapped her hands: "Yes, yes, yes! There is also the day when the grades will be collected at the end of the second semester of high school. The school bully said that he will get married after graduation, right!"
Yu Fan: "I treat you—"
Zuo Kuan: "Oh!! No wonder you helped Xueba move the chair when watching a movie! Zhu Xu also said that he saw you two undressing in the laboratory building!!!"
Wang Lu'an: "I'm stupid, what's the matter? You were underage at the time! How the hell are you so big??? Wait, don't you guys buy strawberries like this at school? It's too much—"
"Get ready to go, the whole journey is 4 kilometers, and it will take about 7 minutes." The female voice in the navigation broadcasts coldly.
Chen Jingshen held the steering wheel with one hand: "Where is this going?"
"Murder and bury the corpse," Yu Fan said.
"Isn't it good to just throw it into the sea?" Chen Jingshen said coldly.
"There are too many people, it's troublesome."
The car was finally quiet again.
The porridge that Chen Jingshen ordered was said to be breakfast, but in fact it was delivered at two o'clock in the afternoon. In addition to the embarrassing time in the house and the drive, it was almost four o'clock when they arrived at their destination.
Yu Fan took them to the most famous beach in Ningcheng, which was also his most frequent location.
Now until the sunset is the most beautiful time on the beach, when the car drove through a stretch of mountains, it suddenly became clear, and a gorgeous pink-blue sky broke into the eyes, and the sea surface connected with the sky seemed to be covered with a layer of crystal clear diamonds.
It was much more beautiful than the cloudy and rainy weather when Chen Jingshen came last time.
The people in the back row were finally distracted. Especially Zuo Kuan, who saw the sea for the first time after living for more than 20 years, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he got out of the car to take pictures as soon as the car stopped.
The beach is just below the stone steps, and Zuo Kuan looked down excitedly: "My mother, Wang Lu'an, the sea water is so clear, it's a pity not to drink, let's go swimming! There are swimming trunks for sale below!"
Wang Lu'an didn't even think about it: "No, no, no, I can't take out the stomach I have raised for several months, so you can drink it yourself."
"I invite you to swim, and I will give you a pair of swimming trunks! I will go back tomorrow, and if I don't swim again, I have no chance!"
"No, I still have more chances. Besides, who needs a pair of swimming trunks for you... Hey, don't drag me!"
The two chattered and walked down the steps. Zhang Wenjing didn't bother to pay attention to them. She didn't understand how these men were all in their twenties, and they were still more childish than they were in high school.
She took out her mobile phone to take a few pictures of the sky, and then picked the best one and sent it to a friend on WeChat. After sending it, she realized that the sentence she posted yesterday, "Zuo Kuan looks handsome after growing a beard" , the other party has not responded until now.
Hmph, what
Zhang Wenjing twitched the corner of her mouth in dissatisfaction, and was about to withdraw with backbone when she buzzed.
[Ke Ting: Pretty.]
[Zhang Wenjing: Why didn't you call me back yesterday! Barristers are amazing, huh?]
[Zhang Wenjing: It's better to go down and take pictures, just wait.]
Wang Luan was dragged into the water in the end, the sea was cold and exciting, he unexpectedly let Zuo Kuan slap his stomach a few times, now the two were fighting shirtless in the sea, the battle was fierce.
Zhang Wenjing's ankles were submerged in the sea water, she held up her mobile phone to pat left and right, and in the middle of it, she asked them to get out of her camera in disgust.
The short and embarrassing time of coming out of the closet finally came to an end. Several of them have high acceptance and will not feel any discomfort because of their friend's sexual orientation. "My brother is gay" was lightly covered by "I think the sea is so comfortable".
Only the person concerned was still lying on the beach chair with a murderous face, and hadn't spoken since he got down.
Chen Jingshen sat on the edge of his chair, his lips just moved.
Yu Fan: "Shut up."
So Chen Jingshen lowered his eyes and touched his finger, but the other party took his hand away viciously: "Touch and chop your finger again."
"It's really not intentional." Chen Jingshen said, "I didn't expect it to fall into their hands."
Is this the fucking point?
Just as Yu Fan was about to kick him away, the phone buzzed.
"Hello, Lihai Express! Your insured package has been delivered to our Ningcheng Lihai Express Station. Are you at home now? Is it convenient for us to send the things there now?"
"Insured package?" Yu Fan frowned, "Mine?"
"Yes, for items with an insured price of 250 yuan, you need to sign for receipt after unpacking and checking."
"I sent it wrong, I didn't buy any insurance..."
"I bought it." Chen Jingshen said, "Birthday gift."
Yu Fan paused, discussed a delivery time with the courier, hung up, and asked, "What is it?"
"Lens."
Yu Fan helped Wang Yue send valuables, and knew the rules of insuring, the insuring fee of 250 yuan is...
Yu Fan suddenly sat up and wanted to get up, but was embraced by Chen Jingshen: "What are you doing?"
"Pick up the courier."
"No rush, just go back and pick it up on the way."
Yu Fan was so anxious that he forgot to push people away. He pinched Chen Jingshen's face: "Chen Jingshen, do you understand the lens and spend so much money to buy it? Have you been cheated?"
"No. I asked the bride to ask Wang Yue, and she said it was the one you like very much recently."
"..."
"Chen Jingshen, why do you ask me what I like?"
"Because it's your boyfriend."
"Said we broke up."
"That's because I like you."
"..."
Both of them were handsome, and they were so close that people passing by couldn't help but take a second look at them.
Yu Fan could even feel the close watch of Zuo Kuan and Wang Lu'an not far away.
In the past, Yu Fan might immediately let go and keep a distance of ten people from Chen Jingshen, but now he thinks it doesn't matter, whatever, whoever the fuck wants to watch.
Could it be that the ultimate social death at noon today tempered him
Yu Fan looked at Chen Jingshen's face absent-mindedly for a while, and Chen Jingshen suddenly leaned his head in a posture.
Yu Fan squeezed him harder, stopped him, and suddenly understood.
Because Chen Jingshen is too magnanimous.
He always has an indifferent and paralyzed face that doesn't care about the world, doesn't care about other people's eyes, and never hides his liking for a person of the same sex, whether in front of others or himself. These characters take shape when they are students, and become more wanton when they grow up and mature.
It's normal to be affected.
Yu Fan looked into his cold and deep eyes, and suddenly asked, "Chen Jingshen, how did you come out?"
Chen Jingshen was silent for a moment: "Actually, I didn't do it on purpose."
"When I was a freshman, someone confessed to me. I said I had a boyfriend. At first, some people thought it was a joke, but they refused a lot. Plus..." Chen Jingshen paused, "I just believed it."
"Add what??" Yu Fan asked impatiently.
"I drank too much once and called your name."
"..."
Inexplicable emotions surged up, bubbling in my heart. Yu Fan said with a cold face: "Chen Jingshen, you dare to drink with such a capacity for alcohol, don't embarrass you."
Thinking of that night, Chen Jingshen blinked.
In fact, I was not drunk, nor did I drink too much.
I just wanted to call you by your name, and it's been a long time since I called you.
"Just that one time." Chen Jingshen said.
Yu Fan stared at the bridge of his nose, and asked vaguely after a long time: "Then what about you...at home. So many people at school know, won't it spread to family members?"
"Don't pass it on."
Yu Fan was stunned for a moment, then looked up at him suddenly: "What do you mean?"
"I told them in my third year of high school."
Yu Fan was stunned, and his hand slowly let go and fell down.
"You...how did you say that?"
"Say I like you."
"..."
If Yu Fan hadn't met his family, he would have thought it was extremely easy for him to get out of this closet.
and…
"Chen Jingshen, are you an idiot?" Yu Fan said, "I left you and left, why are you coming out? Why do you like me?"
Chen Jingshen smiled: "Didn't you pick it up?"
"..."
His chest was sore, and Yu Fan lay back on the beach chair with a sullen face, and couldn't help but continue to ask, "What happens after we're done?"
Chen Jingshen lowered his eyes for two seconds, and stretched out his hand to scratch his palm: "It's nothing. I was scolded a few times, slapped a few times, and said that I would be sent abroad."
The fingers tightened, and the lips of the man with his eyes closed trembled, and he held his fingers.
Chen Jingshen: "The monitoring was changed to the latest model, I found a psychiatrist, and wanted to confiscate my mobile phone, so I ran away from home. I went out to rent a house by myself."
The hands were held tightly, clasped tightly, and squeezed between the fingers, Chen Jingshen could feel his pulse throbbing.
Chen Jingshen: "The first apartment was rented near the No. 7 Middle School. It was small but sufficient. I graduated within a few months. The second apartment was near Jiangnan University. At that time, I had a scholarship and participated in several competitions. I rented our apartment. At that time, I was looking at the third apartment in the Internet cafe, and the landlord said that he wanted to use the room, so I lived back in the school dormitory."
"The third house is the current one. It is near the company and has a good view. It can accommodate two people, but the furniture is not fully purchased and it is relatively empty. Do you want to live for a few days?"
Yu Fan listened carefully, and it took him a long time to react. He opened his eyes belatedly, and met Chen Jingshen's eyes dully.
Chen Jingshen squeezed his fingers.
"Yu Fan." He said, "Do you want to go back to Nancheng?"
