Shao Yang went to the hospital very frequently, several times he had to deal with the company documents in the ward. Every time his secretary came to find someone, he had two big dark circles under his eyes.
As his attendance rate increased, Xiao Heng's visits decreased, and he was hardly seen except for three meals a day being delivered on time.
Luo Shutu watched Shaoyang cut the oranges in a slightly depressed mood, and said, "Is your company really all right? I don't need you to take care of me here."
Slag Gong, you can go as long as you are old, I still need to improve my favorability!
Seeing the worried expression on the young man's face, Shaoyang felt warm and said, "It's okay, I won't worry if I don't look at you."
"It's too hard for you, I just have A-Heng." Luo Shutu frowned, his rare little movements were unexpectedly cute.
Shao Yang picked up an orange and brought it to his mouth, said disapprovingly: "Why do we care about so much? Don't think about it, you, you should be more partial to yourself."
Luo Shutu had no choice but to take the piece of orange with his hand, and did not obediently accept such an intimate act of feeding.
"... Ah Chen?" Shao Yang was taken aback, seeing the young man biting an orange and looking at him with the same expression as usual, he breathed a sigh of relief.
Fortunately, Jian Huaichen still doesn't know what's on his mind. In the past, when he was tired of hiding it, he thought that it would be good to expose it, but now he couldn't even figure out what he wanted, so he didn't want the other party to notice.
After thinking about it, he tentatively asked, "Achen, did Xiao Heng tell you about me?"
"What do you mean? If it's something like your college affair, I'm actually quite interested." Luo Shutu teased.
"If Ah Chen doesn't refuse, he won't be less than me." Shaoyang said relieved.
Luo Shutu smiled shallowly: "I'm not as good as you, I just want someone I like very much, just being together."
Shao Yang watched his slender fingers pick up a piece of orange, and asked one extra question: "It doesn't matter if it's a man?"
"..." The young man ate the oranges slowly, and wiped a little juice from his lips with his fingertips when he was done, speaking in an ordinary tone as if he was talking about what to eat for lunch.
"Well, it doesn't matter if it's male or female."
Shao Yang was speechless for a while, with mixed emotions in his heart, he couldn't help laughing at himself, it was such an answer, so what is his forbearance all these years
What's even more ridiculous is that he doesn't seem to be able to remember those feelings of love. He thought in a trance that it was Xiao Heng who flashed in his memory, smiling, gentle, and cooking with an apron. silently...
Jian Huaichen called him Shaoyang, but Xiao Heng called him Senior Shao in the first two years, and he even clearly remembered the appearance of the young man turning around and calling him in surprise. Probably, since then, they have been different.
He stretched his brows, and said in relief: "Achen, if I say I like you, will you agree?"
He really loved Jian Huaichen, but he is also in love with Xiao Heng. The former is an indelible existence in his memory, a beauty that he is willing to protect even if he is not a lover, while the latter is the partner he wants to hold hands with for a lifetime.
So, let him go, Jian Huaichen.
There was silence in the ward for a while.
"Shaoyang..." the young man thought about it, and just as he was about to speak, the door opened.
Xiao Heng felt that he was abnormal, eavesdropping was not his intention, and it was not his style to intervene at such a time.
But when he saw that the two kept a safe distance, he was surprised to find that he was actually relieved, because no matter what the reason, he didn't want to hear the young man's answer.
"Heng is here, today is earlier than yesterday." Luo Shutu blinked his eyes, his tone was not unnatural.
{Hehehe, friendly reminder from Ben-sama: the male lead will listen in the whole process~}
{Do you make it tiring to lift the table=_=}
Xiao Heng smiled, stepped forward to set the food, and moved skillfully.
"Want to eat an orange?" Luo Shutu took a petal and waved it in front of him, "Shaoyang only has the skills to peel oranges."
"He doesn't eat this." Shao Yang said beside him.
As soon as he finished speaking, Xiao Heng bit the orange by the young man's hand.
"Ah Heng, you don't have to force it," Luo Shutu pursed his lips, and put the remaining half of the orange back, "Just spit it out..."
Shaoyang was right, he really doesn't like sweet and sour food, but it's not that he can't eat it. Xiao Heng swallowed the orange whole, stroked the young man's hair softly, and said, "I'll get you hot water, you eat first."
Luo Shutu nodded, and didn't think there was anything wrong with the way the two got along, but in Shaoyang's eyes, it changed.
He really didn't dare to think about the most impossible possibility. After Xiao Heng went out with the thermos, Shaoyang finally couldn't help asking: "Ah Chen... what do you think of Xiao Heng?"
"Huh?" The young man glanced at him, as if he didn't care, and said, "Heng is fine."
Shao Yang struggled for a second, or even less than a second, and immediately said: "We are dating."
That possibility, even if there is, must not exist.
He didn't look at the young man's expression, and quickly said: "We have lived together for six years. There was a little conflict before and I was afraid that you would not be able to accept the same-sex relationship, so I didn't tell you. Xiao Heng is easy to get along with, and your relationship should be good. , I think you can create an opportunity for me to reconcile with him? It is not convenient for him to live with you now. "
The young man's answer was delayed for a moment, "...Okay." Then he said, "I will go back to the old house next weekend, and I haven't talked to Ah Heng yet, so you can come when the time comes."
"Are you discharged from the hospital alone?"
"Mom asked Aunt Qin to take care of me, don't worry." Luo Shutu smiled in relief, "I wish you well."
"...Then I'll go first." Shao Yang stood up and said, "Come back at night."
"Um."
People's hearts are changeable, just like Shaoyang never thought that he would not love Jian Huaichen, never thought that he would fall in love with Xiao Heng, and that Xiao Heng would love him or not.
Of course, this is something.
There have been two consecutive autumn rains in the past few days, and the temperature has dropped sharply.
Holding a sweater jacket, Xiao Heng found Luo Shutu who was out to bask in the sun on the hospital lawn.
The young man on the recliner smiled at him from a distance, his brows were bathed in the sun, warm as before.
Xiao Heng raised the corners of his mouth slightly, and stepped forward to put his coat on for him: "Why did you come out alone? You didn't add any clothes."
"Anyway, Ah Heng will definitely find me." Luo Shutu changed from lying down to sitting, and pointed to the painting utensils on the side. "The nurse brought them for me. Although they are not particularly professional, they can still be used."
"Well, what do you want to draw?" Xiao Heng held the drawing board in front of him.
Luo Shutu picked up a pencil and looked up at him: "Aheng."
"Um."
"Ah Heng."
"...Me?" Xiao Heng reacted and shook his head quickly, "I have nothing to draw."
"No, I said that Ah-Heng is beautiful, and I have always wanted to draw you." The young man said sincerely, with sincere eyes, making one unable to bear to refuse, "A-Heng..."
Xiao Heng was silent and surrendered: "...Okay."
"Great, then Ah Heng should sit by the edge of the flower bed. That's right, it's best not to move, it will be fine soon."
The happy mood of the young man is very contagious, Xiao Heng sat down indulgently according to what he said, watching his bright smile, his heart softened.
Time is quiet and good, nothing like this.
"Xiao Chen?"
Luo Shutu turned his head to look outside the lawn.
The lady who called him was a graceful lady, and when she saw him turn around, she immediately smiled: "It's really Xiaochen, I heard your mother said that you have returned to China, and I still want to see you—oh, yes, Yaoyao, come here quickly, This is the son of my mother's classmate, Jian Huaichen, don't you like his paintings very much?"
Lin Yao: "..."
Luo Shutu smiled and said, "Auntie Fang is still so young." Then he put down his pen and held out his hand to Lin Yao, "Yaoyao, call me Brother Xiaochen."
His vision, his idol, and his goal were all shattered just like that... Lin Yao thought messily in the wind.
"… Hello."
"This kid is really rude, don't care about him, Xiao Chen, what's wrong with you?" Lin's mother liked the gentle and polite Jian Huai Chen very much, and when she saw the plaster on his left hand, she said distressedly.
"It's okay, it's just a small accident." Luo Shutu watched Xiao Heng approaching, and said with a smile, "Auntie, this is my friend Xiao Heng."
Lin Yao: "... Hello, teacher."
Ask God for advice! I bumped into the teacher's messy scene, what a mess! Waiting online, very urgent!
"Ah, is it Yaoyao's teacher? What a coincidence." Mother Lin smiled, and turned her eyes to the drawing board, "Did Xiaochen draw Teacher Xiao just now?"
Luo Shutu nodded.
"Well," Lin Yao looked at the unfinished sketch with a little doubt in his eyes, "this is..."
"It's a work of practice, it's not eye-catching." Luo Shutu said, secretly thinking that this guy's vision is really poisonous.
Lin Yao didn't doubt that there was him, he just said: "It's incomparable with your works, it looks like a novice."
…have never drawn with the right hand, are you a novice? ! Luo Shutu smiled and said, "Yaoyao likes painting very much, right? If you want to learn, I will teach you."
Lin's mother was pleasantly surprised: "Yaoyao, why don't you hurry up and thank your brother Xiaochen? Didn't you always want his advice?"
He really wanted to turn around and leave! But a living Jian Huaichen is right in front of him, he can't leave!
"Thank you..." Lin Yao squeezed out the last few words, "...Xiao Chen, brother, brother..."
…
Luo Shutu: "... Poof."
Young people seldom have such a smile, the agility beyond gentleness, the joy from the heart, and the instant freshness.
Lin Yao turned away angrily, but Lin's mother had no choice but to give Luo Shutu a few hasty instructions before leaving.
Xiao Heng stood beside him and asked, "Do you want to go back?"
"Hmm." The young man took off the drawing paper and carefully put it into the bag he had prepared earlier in the morning, with some clumsy movements.
Since it is used for pen practice, what are you doing carefully? Xiao Heng thought, not long ago, he was looking forward to satisfaction, but looking back, he found it funny.
People just love to take themselves too seriously.
