I Treat You as a Brother

After sending "good night", Fang Mo couldn't fall asleep.

During this period of time, he was upset by the same person over and over again and couldn't sleep.This time, he couldn't even toss and turn, so he could only lie stiffly in a daze.

Fang Mo is a little delicate and afraid of pain.His ankle was still swollen and he didn't dare to move.

Fortunately, the swelling was not severe, and the popsicles that Xu Xiran bought in time were very useful.Only a few hours have passed, and it has been fully realized.He didn't dare to mention it to Xu Xiran, for fear that he would be worried and would want to sneak out and buy some back, that's unnecessary.

But when Xu Xiran asked him if it hurt, he immediately admitted it.Because it really hurts.When someone he likes asks him, he can't help complaining.

Xu Xiran was too kind to him.The more gentle he is, the more he can't help but want to rely on her.But at the same time, in a corner of his heart, a sense of guilt was constantly sprouting.

Fang Mo wanted to call Zou Shun to talk, but it was inconvenient because everyone was in the dormitory.In addition to the two who were already lying on the bed, there was another roommate who was still scribbling on the document in front of the computer.No matter what you say now, you will be heard.

After a while, I suddenly heard a knock on the door.

The sound was not loud, but it still seemed abrupt on a quiet night.The roommate who hadn't gone to bed got up and opened the door, and then Fang Mo heard Xu Xiran's voice.

He immediately stretched his neck and wanted to look out, but unfortunately his ankle was pulled so badly that he couldn't see anything clearly.The door was only half open, and everyone outside was covered.Not only could I not see clearly, but my voice was also indistinct, and I couldn't hear clearly.

His roommate whispered to Xu Xiran for a while, then entered the room alone and closed the door.Xu Xiran didn't come in, he went back.

"What's the matter?" Fang Mo hurriedly asked in a low voice.

His roommate walked to his bedside and handed him a box: "So you're still awake?"

Fang Mo reached out and took it. It was a box of ice baby cooling stickers.

"Your family specially asked someone to help you come here," said the roommate and walked back to the table, "He said he didn't know if it would work or not, and asked you to try it."

Fang Mo stared blankly at the box of cooling stickers that had already been opened, and the packaging was somewhat old, and suddenly his eyes felt hot.

He sniffed hard, and just sat up and wanted to tear off a sheet and paste it, when he found someone not far away was watching him.It was Liu Xiaochang who was on the diagonally opposite bed.

Seeing Fang Mo looking over, Liu Xiaochang smiled at him, then looked away, and sighed exaggeratedly.

Liu Xiaochang didn't sleep on the upper bunk either, and asked after hearing the movement, "Have you realized any philosophy of life, Brother Liu?"

"I didn't realize it, but I felt a little emotional." Liu Xiaochang said.

His upper bunk was very cooperative, and he asked, "What emotion, let me hear it?"

Liu Xiaochang let out a long sigh: "I really want to fall in love too!"

As soon as the voice fell, the originally quiet dormitory suddenly burst into joy.One of the other two brothers zealously agreed, while the other disagreed.

The single person who agrees said that although he is a heterosexual, he is really envious of seeing Fang Mo's partner being so sweet and passionate. , Eat a few bites of other people's dog food.

The one who objected had a girlfriend.He said that there are a lot of troubles in falling in love, especially if you find a girl, she can't spoil you like the man upstairs spoils Fang Mo, it's all the other way around.If you want to be a petite flower, I suggest finding a boyfriend.

Then they started making nasty jokes, calling each other husbands, and forcing each other to promise to spoil themselves for the rest of their lives.In the end, the contradictions could not be reconciled and the negotiation broke down, but they came to a unified point of view: it is definitely not difficult for someone like Liu Xiaochang to find a boyfriend, and I am really envious of others.

Liu Xiaochang smiled awkwardly while lying on the bed: "Hehe, hehehehehe."

Fang Mo remained silent the whole time.

The misunderstanding of these people has been deeply rooted.He tried to explain many times in the past few days, and seeing that the two brothers were about to believe it, what happened today happened.Now, I'm afraid it won't work anymore.

Unlike Zou Shun, Fang Mo never thought of coming out publicly before.As for now, if he and Xu Xiran are really a couple, and Xu Xiran has this idea, he probably won't object.But they are not.

His two roommates were nice people, and they didn't show obvious rejection of him because of this.But there is no guarantee that other people who have misunderstood will not wear colored glasses because of this.Those people might point and point at Xu Xiran.

Fang Mo thought, he probably liked Xu Xiran so much that he couldn't tolerate himself causing trouble for him more and more.

The most contradictory thing for him was that while blaming himself, he couldn't restrain the slight joy in his heart.Who would be unhappy if the person you like is stamped as a couple of lovers.

It's a pity that this joy can only be based on illusions.

Xu Xiran said too many ambiguous words to him.But he said it frankly.Just like the jokes between Fang Mo's two roommates, because there is no ghost in their hearts, they can act as if nothing had happened and be carefree.

What a torture.What you regard as a treasure, what you desire so much, what the whole world acquiesces already belongs to you, it is close at hand, only an inch away from your fingertips, but you can't reach it any further.

"I think it's because of some discomfort on your body, and the chain reaction that hurts spring and autumn." Zou Shun sat beside his bed, patted him on the shoulder and comforted him, "Life is too short to enjoy yourself while you think about it so much." What are you doing?"

Fang Mo sighed quietly and didn't reply.

He originally had class today, but the classrooms were too far away and he had to climb five flights of stairs, so he simply asked for leave.Xu Xiran had classes all day long, and before leaving in the morning, he came here to check on his condition, and after confirming that his ankle had subsided a lot, he left with confidence.

Zou Shun is free and has nothing to do, so he came to deliver lunch.

No one else in the dormitory was there, so he had no scruples when speaking: "You didn't just know this person is hard to chase today, did you? At least now, he is very close to you, and everyone can see how much he values ​​you, isn't it Significant progress? Or is there something about him that you can't stand?"

"No," Fang Mo said with a sad face, "he's very good, very good, too good. It makes me feel..."

"What do you think?"

"I'm not worthy." Fang Mo said.

"Huh?" Zou Shun was shocked, "Wait! Did you hit your head when you fell yesterday?"

"I'm serious!" Fang Mo was dissatisfied.

"You're kidding me," Zou Shun said with disbelief on his face, "I'm not exaggerating, you are almost the person I know who feels the best about himself. Tell me now, do you think you are not good enough?"

What Zou Shun said was not wrong.Fang Mo has always been full of self-confidence. He believes that he is as handsome as heaven and earth. Not only is he outstanding in appearance, he is also witty, and he exudes charm from the inside out.Even now, he still feels that standing beside Xu Xiran, the two of them are an incomparable match.

What he said was not worthy had a different meaning.

"He believes in me too much and thinks too well of me," Fang Mo said, "but I lied to him too much."

"Uh..." Zou Shun showed a somewhat embarrassed expression, "Why should I add a psychological burden to myself?"

"You know, someone told him that I was gay, and that he had seen me on a gay dating app. After he knew about it, he came to remind me to be careful about information being stolen. He really didn't suspect me at all," Fang Mo said with a low voice. "I'm relieved, but not happy."

Zou Shun thought for a while, then asked: "Then, there are two simple options now. First, keep dating him, and second, give up. Which one do you choose?"

Fang Mo was taken aback.

"Choose quickly, don't think about it after you've chosen," Zou Shun said with a serious face, but the next thing he said was instantly vulgar, "If you want to chase, go after it seriously, it's better to wait until you catch up and then take the initiative instead of meaningless self-criticism now. Acknowledge your mistake as an apology and kneel down to him, hello him, hello everyone."

Fang Mo was shocked, and soon blushed.

"Does what I said make sense?" Zou Shun read the interrogative sentence into a declarative sentence.

Fang Mo swallowed secretly, and looked away: "It seems...it seems to be the case."

The two chatted for a while, and someone came back.

As soon as Liu Xiaochang entered the door, he immediately showed a surprised expression.Zou Shun didn't see him, so he took the initiative to say hello to him.

"Liu Xiaochang, right? I heard it mentioned silently," he said with an insincere smile, "It's a pleasure to meet you."

Liu Xiaochang walked up to them and stretched out his hand: "Hello?"

Zou Shun raised his hand, but just patted Liu Xiaochang's backhand with the back of his hand, and then said, "You are not my type."

Liu Xiaochang was startled, and after a moment of stupefaction, he finally reacted, showing an embarrassed and somewhat self-deprecating smile: "It's too straightforward."

Zou Shun grinned at him, turned around and sat down again and continued chatting with Fang Mo.

Fang Mo glanced subconsciously.Today Zou Shun is wearing a very special pair of slacks. The trouser legs are loose and long. Instead of rolling up the trousers as usual, they even cover half of the shoes.

After all, there are other people around, and it is not convenient to talk about many private conversations.Zou Shun stayed for a while, then left.

Only Fang Mo and Liu Xiaochang were left in the dormitory, and the atmosphere became dull.

Fang Mo still doesn't like this person very much.But yesterday he helped a lot as soon as he saw his sprain, so Fang Mo was naturally embarrassed to show him face on purpose.

Of course, she wouldn't take the initiative to talk to him.

The two stayed in their own space and did their own things. After a while, Liu Xiaochang cleared his throat deliberately.

Fang Mo looked up at him.

Liu Xiaochang obviously hesitated for a while, and then said: "I just...saw your boyfriend."

Fang Mo's heart trembled slightly.Before wondering what Liu Xiaochang wanted to say, he repeated the five words "your boyfriend" several times, feeling a sense of relief in his heart.

"...with a girl." Liu Xiaochang continued.

Fang Mo, who was still snickering, frowned instantly: "What do you mean?"

Liu Xiaochang's expression was slightly embarrassed: "It looks...it seems quite intimate."

Fang Mo didn't respond.The dormitory was quiet. He and Liu Xiaochang looked at each other with unnatural expressions.

"Why are you telling me this?" Fang Mo asked.

"It's fine if you don't want to hear it." Liu Xiaochang sighed, turned around and no longer faced him.

"Wait," Fang Mo asked, "How close is it?"

"Anyway...it's not the normal distance between a man and a woman." Liu Xiaochang said.

Fang Mo quickly filtered through his mind, and in his impression, there were no girls around Xu Xiran who might seem too close to him.However, there is a boy who looks like a girl.

Fang Mo asked again: "What does that girl look like?"

"The one with long hair," Liu Xiaochang showed an indescribable expression, and stretched out his hand to gesture on his chest, "Here, it's amazing."

"..."

"He hugged your boyfriend's arm with a smile on his face, and deliberately rubbed against him," Liu Xiaochang said with an expression that he couldn't bear to recall, "It's shaking, shaking, I'm about to faint."
