Waking up in the morning, Jiang Yiyang was no different from usual.
He spent the whole night hiding his tyrannical negative emotions, and all the imaginary results couldn't make him give up, don't you like it? Then like it again!
As long as you cannibalize Tong Xin's life bit by bit, even if you don't like it, you will be inseparable from it—this seems a bit despicable method, and Jiang Yiyang, who was young two years ago, would not be able to use it—at this time he is extremely grateful , he is no longer himself.
His psychological changes were well hidden. Although Luo Shutu felt the danger of being invaded inch by inch based on the remnant animal nature of human beings, and would occasionally bristle at his extreme care, he didn't take it to heart. He only thought Jiang Yiyang It's getting stickier.
That day, Jiang Yiyang came back from the company excitedly, just in time for Luo Shutu to change his shoes at the entrance. He was wearing a blue and white checked shirt, which was simple and clean, very pleasing to the eye.
"Going out?"
Luo Shutu got up after tying his shoelaces, and replied: "I won't come back to eat at night, there are vegetables in the refrigerator, you can eat them as soon as you warm them up."
"Meeting with friends?" Jiang Yiyang asked, realizing his stupidity. He knew Tong Xin's social circle very well, and Liu Xu was the only person he knew enough to make him willing to make an appointment after he was discharged from the hospital.
He opened his mouth, but he didn't mention who the other party was after all, and squeezed out a smile: "Then come back early—how about I take you there?"
Luo Shutu put his hand on the doorknob, and turned to look at him when he heard the words: "It's okay, I'll just take the subway."
"oh… "
The door was closed, blocking his gaze.
Jiang Yiyang seemed to have been punched suddenly, his straight back suddenly bent down, and he scratched his hair with his hands irritably, and he let out a long breath after a while.
He has never realized so deeply that Tong Xin is no longer the young boy who confessed to him in high school. The first two years missing between them were filled by Liu Xu, and the next two years made his heart sink more and more. As it gets deeper, it is stagnant for Tong Xin.
The distance of four years is neither long nor short.
His sense of panic appeared stronger than ever before, and there was a kind of panic that things were not as expected.
In fact, he didn't believe that Tong Xin could let it go, or that the strategy of boiling frogs in warm water was based on time, and he thought Tong Xin would always be there—but the reality mercilessly mocked his arrogance.
He doesn't have much time left.
When Luo Shutu woke up, Liu Xu was still on a business trip abroad. It was more than a month late when he heard the news. He couldn't help but secretly scolded Jiang Yiyang for being shameless. out.
During the two years when the other party was in a coma, he would often visit him, so it could not be considered that he had never met him, but when he thought that Tong Xin came to see him alive this time, he couldn't contain the frenzied emotion in his heart, and it was almost like The fledgling boy was no different, he waited at the restaurant entrance two hours early, staring at passers-by while thinking wildly.
Standing there, such a tall and handsome young man immediately made enough of a stunt. Although he was guessing that he was waiting for someone, the strong male hormones still attracted a lot of glances.
As the sky darkened, the lights on the street turned on, which was not much different from the daytime, adding a gentleness that was not there in the cold daytime.
Liu Xu looked at his watch, wondering if he should make a phone call, when a long-lost address came from his ear: "Senior!"
He looked up suddenly.
The man was a foot away, with gentle eyes and a faint smile on his lips. Under the light, his eyes were so hot that he didn't even think about it, so he took a step forward and hugged him tightly.
Luo Shutu didn't struggle, but raised his hand to pat him on the back reassuringly, and yelled again.
The body in his arms was thin and thin, and his physique was not fat, but now he was more and more pitiful. Liu Xu let go of him nostalgicly, and when he saw that pale and thin face like all those recovering from serious illness, he cursed again in his heart. Back to Jiang Yiyang.
He couldn't even feed himself well, he ground his teeth, although he couldn't make Tong Xin fat instantly, but who told Jiang Yiyang to hide things from him before so dishonestly, the anger hasn't come out yet.
"Come on in, are you tired?" Liu Xu dragged people in and said with a smile on his face, "The food in this restaurant is very delicious, you must like it."
He booked a private room, and no one would disturb him after the dishes were served. Regardless of the location or time, it was very suitable for confessing something that should not be said but must be said.
What is Tong Xin's temperament? Liu Xu was confused. At this time, he was not in a hurry to reveal the topic. He just ate with him and recalled the interesting things in the past, and slowly brought back the slightly estranged way of getting along with him.
Seeing that the heat was almost ready, he said: "Is Jiang Yiyang taking good care of you? I think you are as thin as a match. If it's not convenient for him, you can live with me, huh?"
"...don't bother senior, I'm fine." Luo Shutu stopped his chopsticks and smiled at him.
Liu Xu sighed softly, "You still like him?"
The chopsticks hit the side of the bowl, making a crisp sound. Luo Shutu sat opposite him at a loss, opened his mouth to speak, but was blocked by Liu Xu.
"I knew about it the day before your accident," he looked at the slightly trembling person in front of him, and smiled comfortingly, "I don't want to blame you, but I'm just a little reconciled, after all, I like you very much."
"...Senior?" Luo Shutu stared blankly, stared blankly for a while, and said, "I like senior too."
"Haha, idiot, my liking is different from yours," Liu Xu raised his eyebrows, and said blatantly, "I want to kiss you, I want to sleep with you, liking like this..."
Seeing the other party's stunned look, he said helplessly: "I'm a man, so it's normal to have such thoughts about the person I like? Tong Xin hates me?"
"Ah, no it's not..."
"I didn't intend to tell you, at least not so soon. But life is impermanent, if I don't tell you, maybe you will never know," Liu Xu said, "That's what I thought at that time, and I can't let myself regret it anymore .”
He earnestly asked: "Tong Xin, if you don't have a boyfriend, just stay with me, okay?"
The room was silent.
"I'm sorry." Luo Shutu lowered his eyes and said in a low voice, "This is too unfair to the senior..."
Maybe because he felt that the atmosphere was too serious, he immediately added: "Seniors will meet good men!" His tone was sincere.
Liu Xu smiled. If he didn't know Tong Xin well, he might have doubted his own eyesight because of this seemingly ironic good person card, "You don't want to comfort me when I'm broken in love? Go for a walk with brother after dinner!"
Lovelorn people have reasons to go crazy, it's good to be as calm as Liu Xu.
In fact, Luo Shutu had a premonition of his confession before he went to the appointment. It seemed that he had seen through the hopelessness of his relationship, or that time had turned his love into an obsession, and he was almost desperate to be honest.
To put it bluntly, the two of them got along much more casually. After walking the street and watching the movie, Liu Xu drove him back to the apartment.
As soon as he got out of the car, he was pulled back by Liu Xu when he turned around.
"Give me another hug." Under the street lights in the neighborhood, the man had a gentle smile on his face, and without waiting for Luo Shutu's answer, he hugged him into his arms.
"You and Jiang Yiyang, his brother is not the only one between you." Liu Xu said, quickly kissed the corner of his lips, let go and stepped back, "Good night."
The sudden attack caught Luo Shutu off guard. When he realized it, Liu Xu had already got into the car, waved at him, and walked away.
Luo Shutu stood there for a while, then turned and walked into the building.
Before taking a few steps, he saw a figure at the corner of the corridor entrance, which looked familiar.
"… elder brother?"
Jiang Yiyang slowly came out of the shadows, his expression was a little fuzzy, a pair of dark eyes stared at him, and there was grievance in his voice: "Why did you come back..." While talking, he put his hand on his face, " I've been waiting for you for so long, my hands are cold from the wind."
How could the wind on a spring night be so cold? He exaggerated, his hands were really cold. Luo Shutu pursed his lips, and didn't ask him why he was waiting, just said: "Go up."
They didn't take the elevator, they climbed the stairs layer by layer, Jiang Yiyang followed behind him, and suddenly reached out to hold his wrist.
It was nearly eleven o'clock, and it was even less likely that others would pass by the unused stairs.
"Have you dated Liu Xu?" He asked, every word was more difficult than expected, and his chest was aching.
He hid far away in the darkness, watched Tong Xin get off Liu Xu's car, watched them embrace and kiss, God knows how hard he tried to control himself from rushing out, and how much effort he used to stop himself from kissing viciously The breath left by other men on Tong Xin - he really loves Tong Xin so much.
He knows very well that he can't be in a hurry, even if he cheats, he will cheat people back.
Luo Shutu pulled out his hand: "I didn't agree."
"Liu Xu confessed to you?" Jiang Yiyang's eyes lit up, and he roughly explained the cause and effect, and blurted out, "Do you still like me? Then we are together..."
"I said it last time," he was interrupted, "Brother, if you like Brother Yi Fan, don't do it again... I've made it very clear that I won't pester you."
"I like you, and this has nothing to do with Xiaofan," Jiang Yiyang quickly explained, "You can trust me a little more."
Luo Shutu glanced at him, and said with a wry smile: "He is a treasure, am I a grass? Brother, if you keep me alone, I won't be in pain, but I can't bear it if you accompany me halfway and don't want me... Why do you need a substitute? Since you like Brother Yi Fan, it’s okay if you don’t make it to the end, right?” He choked up, “…Now I’m Brother Yi Fan’s benefactor, so I don’t want you to repay the favor, okay? You let me go Bar."
Don't cry, you are not a substitute, I have always liked you, Jiang Yiyang wanted to say this, and wanted to touch his hair, but his outstretched hand lost strength halfway and drooped down.
He found that he did not have the qualifications.
The next day was the weekend, after Luo Shutu had breakfast, Jiang Yiyang put his coat on him and turned the car keys in his hand: "Let's go have a cup of tea."
Morning tea? Luo Shutu looked at him in bewilderment, but didn't see anything wrong, so he obediently followed him.
No one mentioned what happened last night.
Jiang Yiyang took him to an antique tea house, and as soon as he entered, he saw Jiang Yifan sitting by the window, and before he had time to hesitate, he was held by the man next to him and hugged him forcefully.
"Brother?!" Jiang Yifan frowned, and his eyes fell on the hands of the two - although one was forced, "You asked me to come out just to see him?"
The carved wooden screen blocks the space, but even if there is no screen, Jiang Yiyang doesn't care what other people think, and he said very frankly: "You are my younger brother, so I will show you first, but it doesn't matter if you agree or not, your sister-in-law is My, I love him enough."
His words startled the two of them.
"Do you love him?!" Jiang Yifan's voice was piercingly piercing, pointing at the stunned Luo Shutu and yelling, "What's so good about him? Just because he saved me?!"
"Since you know that he saved you, what is your attitude now!" Jiang Yiyang said with a sullen face, "I thought you would be sensible one day, but I was wrong. Jiang Yifan, I don't care what you said to Tong Xin before, I There is only one sentence, I love Tong Xin, and there has never been anyone else."
"Impossible... Impossible... Don't you love me? Obviously he is a stand-in! Tong Xin, Tong Xin..." Jiang Yifan murmured with a pale face, and suddenly rushed towards Luo Shutu, "Bitch! I even said You are a stand-in, why are you robbing me when you wake up!"
Jiang Yiyang punched him to the seat.
His chest heaved violently, looking at his distraught younger brother, he barely restrained his thoughts of violence.
It turned out that this is the case...
Before the car accident, Tong Xin had been ridiculed like this, but he still saved Jiang Yifan, was it because he thought he would prefer Jiang Yifan to live
So stupid, he thought, how could he be so stupid... But his eyes were moist.
{Ding—the favorability of the male lead: +3, the current favorability: 98. }
This meeting can be described as vigorous and resolute, no matter what the effect is, Jiang Yiyang showed all his sincerity in exchange for a qualification of love.
Back at the apartment, Luo Shutu, who had earned three points of goodwill for nothing, couldn't recover, and his face seemed very calm.
Jiang Yiyang didn't know whether he was happy or angry, and was afraid that he would be unhappy if he did something wrong, so he leaned closer, deliberately frowned in front of his eyes, rubbed his fingers on his temples, and said in a hoarse voice: "Headache..."
He's not pretending, it's really a little bit, after doing this, he feels that his body temperature seems to be high, and he feels a little dizzy.
"It's because of the wind last night," Luo Shutu finally looked at him in a blink of an eye, and said in a calm tone, "It's okay."
Seeing that he didn't express anything special, Jiang Yiyang was inexplicably sad. After standing for a while, he went back to the room and lay down. He just stared at the ceiling silently for a few minutes, and then laughed at himself, half aggrieved and half discouraged.
It seems that Tong Xin really doesn't want him anymore... But even if he is a friend, why doesn't he come to take care of him when he is sick? He is really a cruel guy.
The bed sank slightly, and his forehead suddenly felt cold. Jiang Yiyang suddenly opened his eyes, facing a quiet and gentle face.
"Open your mouth." Luo Shutu asked him to hold the thermometer in his mouth, and pulled up the quilt to cover him tightly. "I'll cook at noon, and you sleep. If the temperature isn't too high, you'll be fine if you sweat."
Did he go to get towels and thermometers just now? Jiang Yiyang looked at him, smiled with the thermometer in his mouth, gave a vague hum, his eyes sparkled.
"38 degrees, um..." Taking the time to take out the thermometer, Luo Shutu looked at the light and felt relieved, "I'll get the medicine, eat it before going to bed."
Jiang Yiyang grabbed his hand swiftly, his cheeks were abnormally red, and he pretended to be pitiful: "Do you believe me?" He looked at Luo Shutu sincerely, "Let's be together, shall we?"
Luo Shutu remained silent.
"If you don't agree, I won't take the medicine, just burn me to death!" Jiang Yiyang was in a hurry, "I love you, I'm not lying, if you don't feel for me anymore, I'll help you love, love for two! "
"Brother..." You were confused, Luo Shutu laughed in his heart at his nonsense, but frowned slightly, and said helplessly, "Don't talk nonsense, I'll burn you to death... what should I do?"
The voice was getting lower and the ending was vague, but it was enough for Jiang Yiyang to hear clearly.
"Then you agreed?!" Without waiting for a response, he sat up, the towel on his forehead fell to the floor with a clatter, and he hugged Luo Shutu and kissed him resoundingly, "I'm so happy !"
Does fever make you younger? I couldn't believe that this man could maintain such a cold face in the company. Luo Shutu pushed him, lowered his head and thought for a while, and said, "Brother... I don't have confidence... One day you don't want me anymore, so don't lie to me. "
He raised his eyes, a little hesitant, and there was a trace of fragility in his clear pupils.
Jiang Yiyang pressed him into his arms and hugged him tightly, and kissed him solemnly: "No," Tong Xin's uneasiness, he has always known, he once thought about who could give him a sense of security, but now it is who Don't worry about coming.
"I love you," he said with a sigh.
