unexpected rain

Xiang Shifang... turned a blind eye to Lin Ji's overtures.

He only glanced at the plate of seafood, didn't move, didn't even say a polite thank you, Lin Ji's smile disappeared, and there was a clear sense of loss in his eyes.

It was this feeling of loss that miraculously made Xiang Shifang feel better.

If he thought about why, he would probably come up with a naive answer—this meant that Lin Ji cared about him.

But Xiang Shifang didn't think about it, he deliberately picked up a shrimp and peeled it slowly.

Lin sighed secretly, it seemed that Xiang Shifang still cared about his offense last night, but now is not a good time to explain, he can only wait for an opportunity to talk to Xiang Shifang alone after the end.

After Xie Zhaofeng Baba and Qiao Nuo finished their quarrel, they saw that there was a plate of ready-made seafood in front of Xiang Shifang, and Xiang Shifang was still tinkering with a shrimp, so he stretched out his hand to eat a piece of meat.

But before his hand touched it, Xiang Shifang knocked it down with the shrimp's claws.

"Don't touch it." Xiang Shifang gave him a sideways look.

"Can't you eat even one piece?" Xie Zhao said in a coquettish manner.

"Peel off yourself." Xiang Shi said expressionlessly.

Xie Zhaofeng cut his voice and muttered "stingy".

At this time, Lin was talking to Qiao Nuo about the distinction of gem quality, so he didn't notice their small movements.

After eating this meal for more than an hour, Lin saw that it was almost ready, so he went to the front desk to pay the bill in the name of going to the toilet, but learned that the meal had been recorded in Mr. Xiang's name and no payment was required.

Lin Ji nodded, asked the direction of the bathroom, and walked there.

After Lin Ji had relieved his hands, he washed his hands carefully, trying to wash off the residual seafood smell, when Xie Zhaofeng walked in.

He stood behind Lin Ji, Lin Ji raised his head and looked at him in the mirror for a second, then lowered his head, and continued to rub each finger carefully.

The dinner table.

Qiao Nuo raised her hand and twirled the platinum bracelet she had just put on, which looked very beautiful on her slender wrist.

She said, "What do you think of Lin Ji?"

Xiang Shifang chewed quietly and swallowed before answering, "Why do you ask this?"

"Because I think he has become better." Qiao Nuo raised the corner of his mouth unconsciously, "I thought I didn't like him anymore, but... that feeling seems to be recovering."

She glanced at Shifang again, and snorted, "You must not understand."

Xiang Shifang used scissors to fry the prawns into a size that was easy to eat, and said calmly, "Do you like him?"

"I think so." Qiao Nuo shrugged, "Xie Zhaofeng said that you often meet him, so do you know he has a girlfriend?"

Xiang Shifang still wanted to finish chewing what was in his mouth first, but Qiao Nuo lost his patience and yelled, "I didn't see you eating just now."

After a while, Xiang Shifang said: "He treats everyone like that, don't get me wrong."

"Really?" Qiao Nuo was suspicious.

"Yeah." Xiang Shifang glanced at her bracelet, "I also got a brooch, I guess he gave Xie Zhaofeng something, it's nothing special."

"Xie Zhaofeng also has it?" Qiao Nuo wrinkled his disgusted expression, "That's true..."

But Qiao Nuo sighed again and touched the bracelet, "But he is really attractive. Recently, my family keeps asking me if I have a boyfriend. I think it's Lin Ji..."

"He won't accept you, don't be too self-righteous." Xiang Shifang said.

Qiao Nuo's eyes widened, and he kicked Xiang Shifang's calf, "Shut up if you can't speak!"

Xiang Shifang clicked his tongue and stopped talking to her.

Qiao Nuo looked over and said, "Why did they take so long?"

Xiang Shifang suddenly thought of something, frowned, got up and said, "I'm going to the bathroom too."

"I'll be blunt, stay away from Shifang." Xie Zhaofeng said in a deep voice.

Lin put his hands under the water to rinse, and asked casually, "How do you say?"

"I know what's on your mind. I don't care if you've been thinking about Shifang from the middle of the sea until now, or it's just a whim these days. If you want to hook up with someone else, don't touch Shifang." Xie Zhaofeng said.

After rinsing the foam off his hands, he squeezed out the hand sanitizer and washed them again, jokingly saying, "Xie Zhaofeng, you're so right, I suspect you're thinking about Xiang Shifang."

Xie Zhaofeng felt a chill, "I have known him for almost 20 years, of course it is impossible to just sit and watch someone try to drag him astray."

"If I were a girl, would you still think so?" Lin Ji asked.

"Of course it's another matter..."

"Ah..." Lin Ji dragged his voice, and took a meaningful look at Xie Zhaofeng from the mirror, "So you discriminate against homosexuals."

"Huh?" Xie Zhaofeng was stunned for a moment, "I'm not..."

"It's a pity that you came back from abroad, and you still have prejudice." Lin Ji shook his head in disappointment.

"I didn't say I discriminate against me!" Xie Zhaofeng was anxious, "Shifang is not, you approach him with that kind of purpose, isn't it a dislike?"

"Did you tell him?"

"Heh, you're still worried that if he knows..." Z

"I'm not worried."

No wonder Xiang Shifang suddenly questioned last night...

Lin Ji also smiled at Xie Zhaofeng, "Since you told him, it's not awkward for me to confess my love to him."

"Lin Ji, you!" Xie Zhaofeng was at a loss for words, the Lin Ji he had in his impression knew current affairs, and he was not such a scoundrel.

After Lin rinsed for the second time, the foam flowed away from his fingertips, and he said: "I know, you are doing it for his own good and worrying about him. But, we are all adults now, and we can take responsibility for our actions. It's between me and him, don't interfere, okay?"

Xie Zhaofeng stared blankly at Lin Ji's back. He was slender and thin. He vaguely remembered a long time ago. He also said similar words. How did Lin Ji answer back then?He couldn't remember clearly, but he could vaguely remember Lin with his head down, like a slender and soft grass that could be easily broken.

He tried to merge the images in front of his eyes with those in his memory, but they couldn't fit together.

Especially when Lin turned around, his expression was calm and peaceful, like a resolute tree, the soul that trembled in panic because of his casual words, seemed to disappear before Xie Zhaofeng's eyes.

"I will not back down." Lin Ji said.

He casually pulled two paper towels to dry his hands, Xie Zhaofeng unconsciously paid attention to his movements, he found that Lin Ji's protruding knuckles were just right and beautiful.

"Xie Zhaofeng, I am not the indecisive person who can be easily swayed." Lin Ji said, "I like Xiang Shifang, so I will not give up."

"..." Xie Zhaofeng opened his mouth, but he didn't say anything. He felt a sudden emptiness in his heart, when Lin Ji said "it wasn't before".

Lin felt that he had won the confrontation and was about to leave, but when he turned around, he saw Xiang Shifang standing at the door.

Lin Ji: "..."

Xie Zhaofeng also looked over, feeling a little dispirited, "You're here too."

Xiang Shifang walked in and washed his hands at the sink next to Lin Ji.

"You... have you just come?" Lin Ji asked stiffly.

"Stand for a while," Xiang Shifang said.

Standing for a while...that is to say, I heard everything I shouldn't have heard.

Lin felt that his face was burning hot, but he tried his best to keep calm and said, "I'll go back first."

Xiang Shifang looked back at him, and happened to see Lin Ji's red ears.

After Lin Ji left, Xie Zhaofeng stepped forward to stand side by side with Xiang Shifang.

"What do you think?"

"I didn't think about anything." Xiang Shifang said indifferently, "I will handle this matter myself."

"..." Xie Zhaofeng cursed in a low voice, not sure if it was because of Xiang Shifang's white-eyed wolf, or something else.

Not long after Lin Ji sat down, Xie Zhaofeng and Xiang Shifang also came back. Xie Zhaofeng said, "Qiao Nuo, your brother called me to take you back."

"Huh?" Qiao Nuo's face fell, "I still want to have coffee with Lin Ji."

"There is still a chance next time." Lin Ji reassured.

"Let's go, your brother said he will send you there in half an hour."

"Tsk, thank you, why are you so mean to my brother?" Qiao Nuo stood up reluctantly, pointing the cannon at Xie Zhaofeng.

"Who told me that his contacts often help me?" Xie Zhaofeng said.

Lin Ji also stood up and walked with them, but he looked back and saw that the plate of seafood meat on Xiang Shifang's table...seemed to be empty?

Qiao Nuo and Lin said goodbye, and followed Xie Zhaofeng to the underground parking lot.Xiang Shifang's car was parked outside, he walked to the front of the car, stopped in his tracks, then turned around, and saw Lin Ji following him.

"I didn't drive." Lin Ji smiled innocently at him, "Can I take your car?"

Xiang Shifang stared at him for a while without saying anything, but he didn't start the car directly after getting in the car.

Lin understood and got into the co-pilot.

The car started smoothly and drove onto the main road.For the first 5 minutes, both of them were silent. Xiang Shifang didn't turn on the music in the car. The silence made the small space a bit depressing.

It was Lin Ji who broke the silence. He said, "Let's go on Zhichun Road. There are many red street lights on Mingxia Road, and traffic jams are easy."

In fact, taking Zhichun Road would take a longer detour, twice the original journey, but Xiang Shifang still didn't say anything, and he turned to Zhichun Road.

Lin turned his head and looked at Xiang Shifang. In the dim car, the light source came from the light through the front window, which was printed on Xiang Shifang's perfectly contoured profile, which was so easy to look deadly.

Lin Ji's heartbeat gradually accelerated, and the throbbing made him bold and enthusiastic, so he said, "I remember everything about last night."

The corners of Xiang Shifang's lips were cold and hard, indifferent.

"I'm also serious about what I said just now." Lin Ji said.

"Last night you asked me what intention I have for you. My intention is that I like you and want to be with you."

He had hidden his thoughts for eight years, and finally conveyed them personally.

"squeak--"

The car braked abruptly and stopped on the side of the road.

Lin was pushed forward violently by the inertia, and the seat belt pulled him back again, and his heartbeat became even more chaotic.

Xiang Shifang opened the car door and slammed it shut, Lin's eyes widened, he even thought that Xiang Shifang was going to drive him out of the car.

Xiang Shifang came back after a while, it turned out that he was just going to buy water...

Lin Ji: "..."

When Xiang Shifang saw Lin Ji's vigilant and uneasy eyes, as well as his hand holding the seat belt, he couldn't help being a little funny. Did Lin Ji think he would drive him out of the car?

The car started again, Lin saw that Shifang still didn't express his opinion, he couldn't help feeling a little disappointed, he whispered: "I said I like you, why didn't you respond at all."

"I see." Xiang Shifang said flatly.

"There's still something you don't know." Lin Ji said to himself, "I liked you the first time I saw you. It's been eight years since I was a sophomore in high school. An emotion has been accumulated for eight years. You can't imagine that it will How deep."

Xiang Shifang couldn't help but glanced at him. Lin lowered his eyes and looked very serious, as if sharing his most precious thing.

"You probably don't remember, the last time we had a conversation after graduating from high school, I asked if you could be my light, and you said yes, so when I have had a hard time these years, I just think about you and think about what I want Only by becoming better will it be possible to see you again, so I gritted my teeth and survived." He said lightly, simply passing those terrible times like the abyss, "The love I have for you is not just a simple one. Emotion... Shifang, I am willing to do anything for you."

Xiang Shifang's heart trembled heavily, and waves of pain surged, washing his whole body.

"Shifang, can I call you that?"

"Can I pursue you?"

"Ten directions..."

Xiang Shifang was a little irritated by the inexplicable comfortable and uncomfortable feeling in his heart. He couldn't respond to Lin Ji's feelings, but Lin Ji was always asking, so he said impatiently: "Whatever."

Lin Ji: "!!"

He had a smile that could melt glaciers, he looked at Xiang Shifang, his voice softened, slightly sour and sweet like orange candy, "Thank you."

Xiang Shifang felt that Lin Ji was extremely strange.

But he didn't see the corner of his mouth, and it hooked up slightly.

After arriving downstairs at Lin Ji's house, Xiang Shifang stopped the car, not intending to come down.

"Xiang Shifang!" Lin Ji raised his voice suddenly.

Xiang Shifang subconsciously turned to ask with his eyes.

Lin leaned forward, and his lips were on Xiang Shifang's.

This soft touch overlapped with the residual feeling from last night.

Five seconds later, Xiang Shifang turned his face away, frowned and said, "You..."

"I'm sorry, because I like you so much." Lin Ji pursed his lips and smiled like a stealing cat. He opened the door and got out of the car, and finally bent down and said, "Good night, Shifang."

"……Um."
