An Accident in Broad Daylight

Zheng Yikun drank, so he threw the car at the restaurant after dinner, and took Xu Tangcheng's car back.Along the way, he teased Xu Xu unabashedly in the back seat. Xu Tangcheng glanced at the rearview mirror several times, but it didn't do anything to restrain him.When Zheng Yikun got out of the car and hadn't hit the road on the left, Xu Tangcheng asked Cheng Xu: "Didn't you say you didn't like staying with him, why do you two know each other so well?"

"No," Cheng Xu grunted, and continued, "I didn't want to at first. But then once I was having dinner with others, I drank too much, and I ran into him in a restaurant, and he rescued me and went back to his place to sleep. One night, I thought he was fine."

"Drink too much? Don't you don't drink much?"

"Hmm..." Cheng Xu said vaguely, "That time I went to socialize with others."

Apart from helping Fu Daiqing all the time, Xu Tangcheng knew that Cheng Xu hadn't done any other part-time jobs or internships, so as soon as he thought about it, he got a general idea of ​​what the social interaction was like.It's just a little strange that night, Cheng Xu's drinking capacity may be worse than him, so why would he go out to socialize with him.

Soon after arriving at the south gate, Xu Tangcheng pulled over and stopped. Yi Zhe unbuckled his seat belt but didn't get out of the car immediately. Instead, he put his hand on the car door and looked at him silently.

Cheng Xu didn't know the relationship between the two of them, so they didn't say anything when they were about to part.Xu Tangcheng raised his hand on the steering wheel to his ear, and quietly made a gesture for making a phone call.

Cheng Xu was still saying goodbye to Yi Zhe, and Yi Zhe secretly raised the corners of his mouth at the driver.

It's also strange, often such sneaky little actions will give people a strong sense of belonging in love.

The reason why Yi Zhe is reluctant to part is because Xu Tang promised him to go to Blue Harbor to watch the lights tomorrow night, but today he received a message from the teacher, saying that he can only stay in Beijing for one night when he comes back from a business trip tomorrow, and he has been too late recently. I was so busy that I had to occupy everyone's rest time to hold a group meeting.

From 11:30 p.m. to [-]:[-] p.m., one to five groups, one and a half hours for each group.Time is really tight.

Xu Tangcheng was in the third group, no matter what, it was impossible to fly to Blue Harbor to see the lights with Yi Zhe.

After washing and lying on the bed, the two of them talked on the phone to discuss the time again.Naturally, it wasn't just about discussing time, chattering, some didn't, a phone call lasted four to ten minutes, and even Chengxu looked at Xu Tangcheng who was talking and laughing strangely at the end.

The mobile phone that had been covering his ears was a little hot, coupled with Cheng Xu's increasingly undisguised curiosity, Xu Tangcheng finally entered the "bye" process first.

After hanging up the phone, Cheng Xu sat on the opposite bed and asked curiously, "Are you going to Blue Harbor?"

"Ah."

"when?"

"Next week." Xu Tangcheng said.

"Oh."

Xu Tangcheng was slightly taken aback when Cheng Xu looked at him tentatively, and immediately understood that Cheng Xu also wanted to go, but he was embarrassed to say so.

Normally, he would have invited Cheng Xu to go with him immediately, but this time it was different, because they were going home in a few days.

Xu Tangcheng had to admit that he would have a more relaxed attitude towards this relationship in school.After returning, the environment will be more restrained, and the family will always be in front of him. Many trivial things or words will inevitably make him frequently think about some things that he will have to face sooner or later.

So going to see the lantern this time was actually a tacit date between him and Yi Zhe.

"Do you want to go together?"

After thinking about it again, Xu Tangcheng still asked the question.

Cheng Xu was changing the quilt cover, and shook suddenly, before the force moved the bottom of the quilt, he asked carefully: "Is it okay?"

"Yes." Xu Tangcheng said with certainty, but then he immediately added, "But there is one thing that I think I should tell you."

Xu Tangcheng has never told Cheng Xu about the matter with Yi Zhe, and there is no suitable opportunity. If he mentions it suddenly, he will feel a little abrupt.

But he never likes to lie, especially for people who completely believe in themselves.

"What is it?"

The lights in the dormitory are at the door, and if you press the switch, you need to get out of bed to turn off the lights.Xu Tangcheng walked down the ladder, and Cheng Xu had already spread the quilt with the quilt covered and got into the bed.

It's not a mainstream relationship, but when it comes to talking about it, Xu Tangcheng hasn't been in contact for long.For the first time, he planned to talk about this matter with people directly.

Not in a hurry to speak, he first picked up the water glass and took a sip of water, then looked at Cheng Xu and said a word.

"I don't want to deliberately hide it from you, the current relationship between Yi Zhe and I belongs to..."

The four eyes met, and there was a slight pause.Xu Tangcheng took a breath, then exhaled lightly, and said, "Free love."

His confession was cautious and serious.A word is his choice after thinking about it for a long time.

He has been observing Cheng Xu's expression, trying to figure out whether he really minds or doesn't mind their non-mainstream.But after Cheng Xu listened to his words, he kept looking at him in a daze.

Not like disgust, not like approval, but like not understanding.Xu Tangcheng attributed his reaction to the short blank period when he first came into contact with a thing. The judgment of right and wrong has not yet formed, and complex emotions have not yet been expressed.

"I'm telling you that I hope you can make a judgment yourself. My relationship with you has always been very good. If you think my behavior will make you feel uncomfortable, you can tell me directly. I can understand."

When he confessed to Cheng Xu, he naturally hoped to get his understanding, but he also understood that everyone would have their own likes and dislikes.So, he continued to reassure: "I will not change the way I treat you because of your thoughts, or if you feel awkward and want to adjust the accommodation, I can also apply for you."

After finishing what he had to say, he decided to give Chengxu the rest of the time to digest by himself.Xu Tangcheng didn't look at Xu anymore, walked to the door, and covered the switch with his hand.

Just as he was about to turn off the light, Cheng Xu suddenly moved behind him, and interrupted his movement with a hasty sentence: "No."

Xu Tangcheng relaxed in his heart.It seemed that the tension accumulated just now was much more than he thought, and he was relieved, and it was better than he imagined.

"I just suddenly..."

He looked up at him, waiting for him to finish.Cheng Xu was talking but lost his voice, bowed his head and paused for a while.

Xu Tangcheng waited patiently, the quilt on the bed moved, and after a sound of rubbing, Cheng Xu raised his head again.

"Suddenly a little envious."

Xu Tangcheng was stunned by the trembling mixed in this sentence, and when he looked closely, he found Cheng Xu's red eyes under the thick lenses.

Even Cheng Xu forced a smile at him, the corners of his lips trembling.But he insisted on repeating: "I'm just a little envious."

Xu Tangcheng wanted to ask him what was wrong, but he opened his mouth, and before he could speak, Cheng Xu had already pulled the quilt and lay down, covering his head.A muffled sentence came from under the quilt: "Turn off the lights."

The person who was at a loss turned into Xu Tangcheng. He bit his lower lip, looked at the bulge on the bed, moved his fingers, and turned off the light.

Moving to Cheng Xu's bedside, Xu Tangcheng quickly cleared his mind within a few steps.

The dormitory was very quiet, someone upstairs knocked over something, ping-pong-pong, thinking wildly for a while.The person under the quilt moved, looking at the outline, he shrunk his body into a smaller ball.

Xu Tangcheng stood by his bed for a while, and heard intermittent, suppressed voices.He stretched out two fingers, grabbed a small piece of quilt that had become fluffy, and pulled it down slightly.The person in the quilt pulled hard, but he didn't let him move.

Xu Tangcheng didn't expect that his confession would have such consequences.A little regret, more of those sad emotions in my heart.

He stopped pulling the quilt, but put his hand on the back of Cheng Xu's head through the thick cotton wool.

After being obedient twice, he asked in a low voice, "Is it Fu Daiqing?"

In a library on a certain winter day, the scene where Cheng Xu had been looking at his phone waiting for news suddenly became clear.The story is deduced backwards, and Cheng Xu who suddenly became depressed after receiving the text message, and Cheng Xu who asked him if he could go home with him to celebrate New Year's Day.

It turns out that in love, the emotional impact is similar.Struggling, suffering, but no way out.

Cheng Xu couldn't say anything in the end, Xu Tangcheng stood with him for a long time, patted him up and down, listening to his sobs that fluctuated loudly and softly.

It wasn't until he calmed down that Xu Tangcheng put a pack of tissue paper beside his pillow, and told him through the quilt: "Now you know about me, if you don't understand anything in the future, you can tell me , don't be bored by yourself."

Climbing on the bed again, Xu Tangcheng picked up the phone, pressed it on several times, and then switched to the text message interface and sent a message.

The content of the message is meaningless, it is "good night" that I have said a long time ago.But Xu Tangcheng really wanted to contact him at this time.

Naturally there was no reply, the recipient should have gone to bed long ago, maybe he is still dreaming.Xu Tangcheng turned over, turned sideways, and looked at the rustling person on the opposite side.

A hand poked out from under the quilt, pulled out two pieces of paper, and retracted like a turtle.

"Before we go home, let's go on Monday night."

After sending this short message, Xu Tangcheng put down his phone and closed his eyes.But dazedly about to fall asleep, he suddenly saw a scene after a long time-on the first day of school, he packed his luggage and helped others to deliver things to the dormitory opposite. At that time, there was only one boy in the dormitory opposite. Sitting on the bed on the right side of the window with a pillowcase on, seeing him come in, looking at him from above.

It was very hot that day, and after packing for a long time, there were many irregular folds on the white cotton T-shirt of the boy, two shoulders were soaked with sweat, showing shallow marks, and the collar was also a little skewed, showing the Slightly reddened skin at the collarbone.

The boy was still holding the pillow with both hands, maintaining a posture of tidying up, and didn't notice these details.He smiled quietly at Xu Tangcheng at the door, unnaturally, shyly.After a long time, he whispered, "Hi, I'm Cheng Xu."

That was the first time he saw Cheng Xu.

The fan in the center of the ceiling kept turning, and the wind was cool, capable of breaking the sweltering heat, but it still couldn't reach his body.
