It was late at that time, and the sky was like splashed ink.The red glow in the sky is gradually replaced by deep and shallow gray blue, and the rising crescent moon hangs in the distance between tall buildings, like a blackened tungsten light bulb, dim and inconspicuous.

Only street lamps can keep the night bright.It's just that the light was too well spaced, which only attracted moths fluttering in the darkness.

Qiao Jing searched around the neighborhood, only to find that Yu Bingwen was squatting beside the green belt at his back door feeding the cat.

It was a little orange cat that meowed softly.The little furry body rubbed against the hands without stopping, but the long tail was raised high, as if acting like a baby while maintaining the usual vigilance.

After eating the canned food, it still held a reserved arrogance but put on a stalking stickiness.

Qiao Jing stood not far away and looked at it for a while, then slowly approached, and asked, "Are you alone?"

The kitten jumped when it heard the sound, and called out with a meow.

Yu Bingwen stood up belatedly, "Yeah, I came over and realized that we are actually quite close." He waved at the kitten, and the little orange cat kicked over the empty can and ran into the dense bushes without a trace .

Qiao Jing said: "It's quite close, why are you alone? Where's Luo Youning?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Yu Bingwen suddenly raised his head and stared at him strangely: "Do you care about him?"

Qiao Jing's scalp was numb when he looked at him, and she hurriedly explained: "Usually, don't you like to drag him out for a walk together?"

Yu Bingwen snorted, "It's not a girl, and she went to the bathroom hand in hand." He seemed to realize that he was overreacting after speaking, and explained, "Luo Ningning has dinner at home tonight. Sigh, don't mention him, just let us Let's go for two."

Since he said so, Qiao Jing naturally had no objection.

The community Qiao Jing rented has a good green environment, and the opposite side of the door is a leisurely riverside slow road. There are many people who come out for a walk at night.

Old people staggered with cattail fans in loose undershirts; those who walked their babies chased them, and those who walked their dogs grabbed their dogs by their leashes and yelled at them.There are also cyclists, ringing bells and ding-ding all the way to urge passers-by who occupy the road.

The sky is dark and the moon is shining.

The evening wind came across the river, blowing away the heat that was approaching.

There are fishing boats in the distance, swaying on the lightly rippling river surface, and the fishing fires are dotted like stars that occasionally fall into the world in the bright milky way.

The two of them were talking casually, sometimes talking about a beautiful girl in the class, and sometimes talking about how fierce the new head teacher was.

Qiao Jing answered very seriously, even if it was a simple question, he would think about the answer.

But Yu Bingwen seemed to be absent-minded, talking incongruously, and he didn't know where his thoughts went.

Qiao Jing didn't know what was on his mind, so without waiting to ask first, Yu Bingwen suddenly asked him: "Ah Jing...do you think it is possible for a man to be with a man?"

There are few people in this place, and the street lamps standing guard are broken.No one can see who's expression clearly.

Qiao Jing felt her heart skip a beat, "What do you mean?"

"No, no, no! Don't get me wrong, it's not me," Yu Bingwen frowned, looking like he didn't know how to say it, "It's Luo Ningning, hey!"

Qiao Jing asked him: "What did Luo Youning tell you?"

As soon as Luo Youning was mentioned, Yu Bingwen couldn't hold back his sighs, he was as worried as a father who just discovered his child's puppy love, and he didn't know how to teach him: "He doesn't know what's going on, so he suddenly came to ask me how I feel about being gay today. Alas, You said why this kid is so hard to think about it, and he clearly told me that the class next door is very nice."

Luo Youning is not a talkative person, Qiao Jing guessed that Yu Bingwen misunderstood what he asked, so he explained for him: "He just asked."

Yu Bingwen said seriously: "Don't ask, I think he is!"

Qiao Jing said strangely: "Even if he is, what are you worried about? He likes men or women. What does it have to do with you? Or do you care?"

"Can I not care?" Yu Bingwen said: "Of course other people have nothing to do with me, but that is Luo Ningning. Isn't his business my business? What should I do if I am bullied by discrimination! These people are all very bad now!"

Qiao Jing thought about it, but couldn't think of what it would be like for Luo Youning to be bullied, beating so many people looking for teeth?Thinking of it this way, he couldn't help being happy, and he didn't know why Yu Bingwen was so sad: "No, besides, he is not at all."

"How do you know he's not? It doesn't matter who he is, but Luo Ningning, you don't know that he was..." Yu Bingwen sighed and asked him again, "Qiao Jing, is this abnormal? He said that it doesn't matter if he is happy, but I went back and thought about it...should I try to persuade him again? "

Qiao Jing asked him back: "Sexual orientation, can you persuade it to come back?"

Yu Bingwen was startled: "But..."

Qiao Jing asked him again: "Do you like breaking the law alone?"

Yu Bingwen said, "Of course not."

Qiao Jing said: "So what's wrong with liking men?"

Yu Bingwen was almost confused by his few words: "But..."

"What is normal?" Qiao Jing asked him, "Most people like salty rice dumplings, so the small number of people who like sweet rice dumplings are different from most people, so is it abnormal?"

It was rare for Qiao Jing to say so many words in one breath. Yu Bingwen felt that his reasoning was wrong, but he couldn't refute it. After pondering for a long time, he finally gave up the entanglement.

Qiao Jing said to him: "Even if Luo Youning really likes a man, it has nothing to do with you. As his friend, I think what he hopes more is that you can understand him, or accept him, rather than discussing whether he is right or not. normal."

Yu Bingwen was persuaded by Qiao Jing's big phone call, and he was dejected like a urchin who had been taught a lesson: "You are right, I am too..." He couldn't think of words to repent, and his brain, which was not good at thinking, was stuck after repeated jams. Suddenly, a flash of inspiration flashed, "Ah Jing, how could you be so clear about this, maybe you are too?"

The two walked out of the dense forest, and the bright street lights illuminated each other's expressions. Facing Yu Bingwen's aggressive gaze, Qiao Jing looked away in embarrassment: "It's getting late, you should go back to do your homework."

Yu Bingwen thought about it, and seemed to have figured out something for a moment.

So after the dinner that night, Luo Youning, who had a full stomach and a round face, received a series of calls from Yu Bingwen to kill him as soon as he got home.

Yu Bingwen's voice was urgent, Luo Youning thought he had something important to do, and he didn't even have time to change his clothes.He only drank a few sips of water, ready to listen to his opinion, but the other end suffocated for a while, and suddenly said: "Luo Ningning, tell me the truth, are you interested in Qiao Jing?"

Luo Youning didn't have time to swallow a sip of water and was choked to death.He coughed in pain, and said angrily, "Yu Bingwen, are you crazy!"

He hung up the phone angrily, almost wanting to rush to Yu's house to drag Yu Bingwen out and beat him up.

※※※

Facing Yu Bingwen's photo album full of embarrassing things and bringing up these past events, both of them were a little bit dumbfounded.

"—Actually, that senior really didn't confess to me at that time," Qiao Jing was rarely willing to explain redundantly. He lowered his head and looked at the photo album on his lap, and said in a low voice, "He has a crush on Bingwen. You asked me to ask around, but you bumped into me unexpectedly."

Luo Youning didn't know that there was another stubble in it: "Why did I ask you to ask?"

Qiao Jing said: "We had a relationship before. He knew I was, but he wasn't sure if Bingwen was. Bingwen was always with you, so he didn't dare to act rashly."

"At that time, Dayu and I were completely innocent," Luo Youning recalled for a moment, and couldn't help laughing, "I didn't expect this guy to be a heartthrob."

"There are always many people who like him," Qiao Jing said suddenly, "It's just that whether it's a friend or a lover, he always only has you in his eyes."

Luo Youning always felt that there was something in Qiao Jing's words, so he didn't dare to ask in detail, but said: "You are equally important to him."

Qiao Jing Yingde said coldly, "Who knows."
