I Treat You as a Brother

In the end, there was no meal.After the store manager went to collect the materials, he really found some problems, which had to be dealt with immediately, and He Chengyi couldn't leave all of a sudden.

Zou Shun pretended to be sensible and said he didn't care.

"I was really just passing by, and I was going to find my friend," he said casually, "You are busy with your work, it's okay."

He Chengyi didn't say anything on the spot.

As soon as Zou Shun left, he received a message from him.He Chengyi asked if he wanted to find that friend named "Mo Mo".Inspired by him, Zou Shun ran to Fang Mo's house without saying hello.

"If I were you, I would tell him, 'I came here specially to find you, and you are the first thing I want to see when I come back.'" Fang Mo said.

Zou Shun made up the picture and blushed.

"It's a shame," he said.

"How do you want to save face if you want to chase someone?" Fang Mo hated iron, "Didn't you know it well before? What about your eighteen martial arts? Have you lost all of them?"

"But...that would definitely make me look childish," Zou Shun said bitterly, "He already treats me like a child."

"You are just a child in front of him," Fang Mo said, "Instead of forcibly changing your image, it is better to use it directly. Only children can act like a baby without any scruples, understand?"

"Hey," Zou Shun trembled, "I have goosebumps."

Fang Mo sighed with emotion: "Love is terrible, it makes people completely unrecognizable and completely devoid of intelligence."

Zou Shun kicked him: "Get out!"

When Fang Mo talks about such topics, he always looks like a bystander.Recently, he often dislikes Zou Shun for being mentally retarded, criticizing him for not being able to understand love skills at all.

Zou Shun was wronged.Although everyone has never been in a serious relationship, he has more emotional experience than Fang Mo.Fang Mo's eyes are so high that he is extremely narcissistic, and Zou Shun tacitly agrees that he will never leave the group in his life.

"Love makes people stupid," Fang Mo said, "Seeing you like this, I think it's good to be single."

Zou Shun was lying on his sofa, hugging a pillow, with an expression of disbelief: "When I meet him, you, a single dog, will be envious!"

Fang Mo smiled at him: "Then you go on."

That night, He Chengyi called him again.

"You said last time that all the renovations can be done before the weekend, right?" Zou Shun asked him on the phone, "Then I'll go to your house next week, okay?"

He thought he would get an affirmative answer, but unexpectedly He Chengyi refused.

"Next week is not very convenient. People from my hometown will stay here for a few days," he said with obvious helplessness. "Let's talk about it when they go back."

"...Oh." Zou Shun nodded.

He wanted to complain a little, but when the words came to his lips, he swallowed them back forcefully.

"I didn't know you came back early, I thought..." He Chengyi wanted to explain.

"It's okay," Zou Shun said, "There's no rush, we'll talk about it when it's convenient for you."

Even if He Chengyi insisted on treating him like a child, he still wanted to be a mature and sensible child.Although it is quite difficult.

"Okay," He Chengyi said, "You have jet lag just after you came back, so go to bed early."

Obviously came back early, but still can't meet, can only send messages and make occasional phone calls.Zou Shun held back for two days, feeling more and more uncomfortable.

He wanted to ask Fang Mo again, "Do you think he likes me or not?"This question has always had an answer in his mind, and the answer is always changing.These days, I started to lean towards the negative side.

He thought, it seemed that he was the one who got hot on his head, and He Chengyi was just catering to him most of the time.

He is like a little stray dog ​​with a favorite owner, he waits for someone to come out every day, and then chases him and wags his tail.Will be petted, will be fed, but will not be taken home.

Jet lag takes time.Zou Shun always lies in bed at night and can't sleep, so he thinks wildly.

Could He Chengyi really only care about him as an elder?

Or worse, deliberately teasing him.

Knowing that he likes the same sex, but still not shy away from getting close to him, taking him home to cook for him, and giving him a warm hug when he is sad.Is this the legendary trick of straight men?I know your mind, and still hold your appetite, only play ambiguously and never cross the line.

Zou Shun's chest was tight.

He struggled for two days, holding his breath and not sending messages to He Chengyi.On the third night, He Chengyi took the initiative to call.

Zou Shun felt that he was cheap, and he did a lot of psychological training. When he saw the three words on the caller ID, he immediately became very excited.If he really has a tail, it can turn into a small propeller.

He Chengyi was fine, so he chatted with him and asked him what he was up to these days.

Zou Shun is not a person who can live at home.In addition to Fang Mo, he also has many friends in the circle. These days, they gather every day, and they always come back from HIGH until very late. They have a very fulfilling life.

After hearing this, He Chengyi told him to pay attention to safety.

Whether it's a meeting or a call, Zou Shun is the one who talks most of the time.He Chengyi only echoed a few words occasionally.Zou Shunji often worried that He Chengyi might not be interested in what he was talking about.Even if they don't want to admit it, their age difference is there, and their living circles are completely different, so they shouldn't have much in common.There are many things that he finds interesting and wants to share, but He Chengyi may not like them too.

After thinking too much, I dare not say more.

"Are you sleepy?" He Chengyi asked on the other end of the phone.

"No," Zou Shun shook his head while holding the phone, "Brother, to be honest, do you think chatting with me is boring?"

"No." He Chengyi replied.

"Really?"

"Really," He Chengyi said, "otherwise why would I call you?"

Zou Shun immediately became happy.Even those things that were entangled in the past few days were untied.He also felt that He Chengyi should like him.

"Brother," he took a deep breath into the phone, and then said, "Actually, I came here specially to look for you that day."

He Chengyi didn't speak.

Zou Shun plucked up his courage and continued, "I miss you a lot."

He Chengyi said: "Me too."

Zou Shun started to send a lot of messages to He Chengyi every day, reporting all kinds of boring things in life.

This kind of life lasted for a few days, and He Chengyi suddenly told him that his relatives had gone back early.

"They brought some vegetables from my hometown, and they are quite fresh now, but they won't taste good after a long time," He Chengyi asked him on the phone, "I can't finish it all by myself, would you like to come and help?"

Zou Shun took off on the spot with a small propeller.

He Chengyi's family unexpectedly added a new home game console, which is the latest model.Comes with a few cassettes, most of them unopened.

Zou Shun stood at the door of the kitchen while he was cooking and sighed: "It turns out that you are also interested in these things. Last time I mentioned it to you, you said you hadn't had much contact with it."

"You can go play for a while now to kill time." He Chengyi suggested to him.

Zou Shun didn't want to go, he wanted to stay here and watch his brother cook when he couldn't play the game.

"I met a mentally handicapped person on the Internet yesterday." He moved a stool, sat behind He Chengyi, and began to chatter again, "That person posted a post saying that he looks average, but as long as he is gay, he will fall in love with him." Fuck him. Makes me sick."

He Chengyi smiled and said, "Is there such a miraculous person?"

"It must be bragging. Some straight men don't know where their self-confidence comes from. Knowing that others are gay, they start to be suspicious and feel that they are interested in them." Zou Shun took advantage of the situation and complained, "There are so many heterosexual girls in the world. How many people like him, why do you think we are so blind? Just because you like men doesn’t mean you can be a man.”

He Chengyi looked back at him: "Have you ever met this kind of person?"

"I've met them before, quite a few," Zou Shun said with disgust on his face, "Some people who are so ignorant will intentionally show their heads at you, disgusting people."

He Chengyi smiled.

"I told you, my friend is very handsome, and many girls actively chase him. But it's not like a gay man will fall in love with him. Everyone's aesthetics are different."

"Silence?" He Chengyi asked.

Zou Shun chuckled: "No, don't call him that. It feels so strange. His full name is Fang Mo."

He Chengyi nodded, and asked again: "Then will he call you Shun Shun?"

Zou Shun blushed: "No, he will call me Zou Shun."

The kitchen was quiet for a while, only the sound of He Chengyi chopping vegetables remained in the air.

"Later, I silently asked that narcissistic straight man for a photo, but the man refused to give it to me," Zou Shun had nothing to say, "It must be a guilty conscience."

"Maybe it's true, I'm afraid you will fall in love with him after watching it." He Chengyi said.

"How is it possible! It's impossible to fall in love with someone so easily," Zou Shun said, his face suddenly burning for some reason, "Anyway, I don't know. I..."

"Huh?" He Chengyi asked, "Because you're not an appearance party?"

Zou Shun stared at his side face for a while, then lowered his head with a blushing face: "I... maybe I am."

After eating, the two played games together for a while.

He Chengyi was obviously a novice, he was in a hurry.Zou Shun was a little happy.In the past, He Chengyi always looked calm in front of him, without leaving any flaws.It was the first time he saw him flustered without a clue.Very fresh and I like it very much.

He triumphantly guided him, and finally stood up and became a teacher for a while.

"You don't know anything, but you have a good eye for buying games." Zou Shun pointed to the shelf beside him, "That, last time I wanted to buy it, it was out of stock."

"Then you take it," He Chengyi said, "I'll waste it if I keep it."

Zou Shun blinked.

"Be polite to me?" He Chengyi smiled.

"You're welcome." Zou Shun also smiled.After laughing, Le Diandian put the cassette in his bag.

In fact, he has already bought the digital version.But when He Chengyi gave him something, he wanted it all and felt happy.After taking it back, I was reluctant to take it apart, and wanted to be treasured together with the coffee bean keychain.

"Play again?" he suggested after putting the things away.

He Chengyi nodded, then stood up: "Your eyes flicker after watching for a long time, please wait for me for a while."

After a while, he returned to his seat wearing a pair of rimless glasses, and picked up the handle: "Come on."

Zou Shun didn't look at the screen, but pursed his lips and looked at him.

He Chengyi also turned his head: "What?"

"So you're nearsighted?"

"A little bit of astigmatism," He Chengyi smiled at him, "It's usually fine, but if you stare at the screen for a long time, you will feel dizzy."

Zou Shun nodded slightly.

Seeing that he was still staring at him, He Chengyi's expression became a little stiff: "Is it weird?"

"It's not surprising," Zou Shun said nervously, "It's pretty good-looking, and it suits you very well."

"……thanks."

"Really," Zou Shun added with a red face, "very handsome."

Feeling a bit refined and scum.Zou Shun didn't have the nerve to say it.He didn't like this hanging before, but at this moment, his aesthetics suddenly changed completely, and his heart beat endlessly because of it.

He suddenly didn't want to play games at all.

Before coming, he clearly acquiesced that this time he could definitely go further.Now, it should be the right time.He wants to kiss him, wants to be kissed by him, wants to hold him, wants to stick his skin tightly to him.

He Chengyi should also like him.

So why waste time, do something now.

Zou Shun sat on the sofa, sneaking towards He Chengyi's side.

His operation became a mess, and he soon became the one who dragged his feet, killing He Chengyi, a novice gamer who was working extremely hard.

"Tired," he whispered after the death screen popped up, "let's take a break."

He Chengyi looked at him and smiled, and asked, "Have I made much progress?"

Zou Shun was delirious, and couldn't remember whether he nodded or not.They're close together, perfect for kissing with their heads turned over.

After staring at each other for a while, He Chengyi suddenly asked: "Can I call you Shun Shun?"

"Eh?" Zou Shun was stunned for a moment, then nodded quickly.

The phone in his pocket vibrated suddenly, Zou Shun didn't take it out at all, just reached in and pressed it away.

"It's getting late," He Chengyi said, "It's time to prepare dinner."

After dinner, He Chengyi drove him back to the hotel.

Until we said goodbye to each other, he never called him Jianshun once.

Zou Shun regretted that he specially booked the hotel closest to his home. The time on the road was too short, and it was over all at once.

Not to mention kissing, they didn't even touch their fingertips in the end.

Zou Shun was confused again.

I thought there was only one layer of window paper left, so why couldn't it be pierced no matter what.Could it be that He Chengyi really didn't mean that to him.

He called Fang Mo to complain, and wanted to hear the opinion of this expert outside the bureau.Unexpectedly, before chatting a few words, he was hung up.

Fang Mo has been acting strangely since yesterday, and he doesn't know what he is busy with.

Zou Shun lay on the bed for a while, and received a message.It came from He Chengyi who just parted with him a few hours ago.

"Remember to rest early."

Zou Shun came back to life.

He called back without hesitation, and only after he got through did he start thinking about what to talk about.

"Brother, are you at home tomorrow? I still want to come over and play games." He said.

"Not tomorrow," He Chengyi said, "The day after tomorrow."

"Oh... what's the matter?" Zou Shun asked.

"Ah."

He didn't elaborate, but Zou Shun suddenly had an ominous premonition for some reason.

"Aren't you going on a blind date again?" He asked casually.

There was silence on the other end of the phone.

"Your family introduced you again?" Zou Shun frowned.

"No," He Chengyi said, "It's the same as last time, we made an appointment to have dinner together tomorrow."
