The address of the text message was a bar at the back of the commercial street. Ren Xuan got out of the car, looked for the sign and opened the door to enter.The bar was dimly lit but not overcrowded. Ren Xuan walked around the frolicking tables in the center and found Chen Sui's back inside.

There were four men in total, Chen Sui was sitting with his back to him, he didn't look drunk, at least he was able to hold his arms, and he ate a few snacks while talking and laughing.

Ren Xuan walked slowly towards Chen Sui's seat, and the man opposite saw Ren Xuan approaching first.He looked from head to toe with uncomfortable eyes. Before Ren Xuan could pat Chen Sui on the shoulder, the man whistled first, and made a dirty expression with winking eyes: "Your girl is here."

Chen Sui turned around with a dazed expression, completely unaware of Ren Xuan's ugly expression.He got up swayingly, and raised his hand twice before supporting Ren Xuan's shoulder, "Brothers, I'm leaving first."

Ren Xuan couldn't stay in that vulgar farewell joke for a second, he wrapped his arms around Chen Sui's waist, and dragged him away without stopping.

A few steps outside the door, there were taxis waiting in line. Ren Xuan stuffed Chen Sui into the back seat. Just as Chen Sui was about to move his seat, Ren Xuan closed the door and sat in the co-pilot.Chen Sui simply didn't bother, the two of them sat quietly downstairs at Ren Xuan's house without talking.

After Ren Xuan paid, Chen Sui had already got out of the car by himself, and the early autumn wind blew on his body, which inevitably made him feel a little dry.Ren Xuan wrapped her coat tightly, and looked at Chen Sui who shrunk his shoulders because of the cold: "Can you walk by yourself?"

The two entered the house one after the other, Ren Xuan turned on the light, but the warm yellow light failed to bring any warmth.Chen Sui kicked off his shoes, entered the room barefoot, and collapsed on the sofa.Ren Xuan picked up his shoes and put them side by side on the doormat, changed into his slippers and walked across to Chen Sui to stop.

Ren Xuan lowered his head and stared at him for a long time. Chen Sui didn't know whether he was drunk or on purpose, so he closed his eyes and remained motionless.The room was so quiet that the hands of the wall clock could almost be heard moving. "Chen Sui, I'm not a girl."

Chen Sui slowly opened his eyes, and after a long while he forced out an ugly smile: "They were joking after drinking too much, why are you angry?"

"You told them, I'm gay?" Ren Xuan's expression changes are always very subtle, whether he is shy or angry, he has to think carefully, which is fun for Cheng Yunfeng, but for Chen Sui, he lacks some patience .

Chen Sui looked up at him, the overhead light was behind Ren Xuan's head, he raised his hand to cover his eyes, blocking the glare of the light and Ren Xuan's questioning eyes. "I just mentioned it casually, they don't know you either."

"Chen Sui, this is the second time. I hope you can learn the minimum respect between friends." Ren Xuan was angry with him, and it was the first time in more than ten years. Instead of being angry with him for making troubles several times, he humiliated himself again and again. tolerance for him.

Unconvinced, Chen Sui clicked his tongue with a few words, and the energy of alcohol he had accumulated was overwhelming. He stood up and knocked impatiently on the glass top of the coffee table twice: "Ren Xuan, are you being hypocritical? If you Come on with me, they will know sooner or later, and now you don't want to, why are those old men preaching your crap to others all day long?"

Chen Sui had a loud voice, and the more he spoke, the more he felt that it made sense. He stood up and walked to Ren Xuan's side in two steps, leaning against his ear and humiliating him: "The one who is on the bed right now, is shy and ashamed outside, and has done everything. What's wrong with calling you a girl?"

Ren Xuan stared at him with red eyes, and clenched her fists tightly by her side.Chen Sui was so relieved, he shook his shoulders and knocked Ren Xuan who was in the way, and returned to his room swaggeringly.

Ren Xuan sat in the living room with the lights on until midnight. He couldn't figure out why Chen Sui became like this. Even if he responded vaguely before, it was his self-indulgent sentimentality, and he shouldn't have paid him for nothing in return these years. Get that treatment back.

The dead of night is the best time for self-reflection. Ren Xuan convinces himself that Chen Sui was only hit too hard by the breakup before marriage, and his quiet love gave him a double sense of betrayal of losing a friend.He used the most far-fetched reason to excuse Chen Sui, but he was actually unwilling to face the young Chen Sui who had torn off his disguise and followed him as the dawn.

The atmosphere at home was very embarrassing until the official start of work. Chen Sui tried not to stay at home, and Ren Xuan always stayed in the room. The two people living under the same roof rarely met each other within a few days.

During the period, there was no reply to the messages Ren Xuan sent to Cheng Yunfeng, and no one answered the phone calls.Cheng Yunfeng held his breath firmly and forced Ren Xuan and Chen Sui to make a break.

It's not difficult to understand Cheng Yunfeng's thoughts, but it's not easy to make a decision.Cheng Yunfeng and Chen Sui have always had two directions in Ren Xuan, one is a free and sunny lover, and the other is a confidant who grew up together. Even if they chose Cheng Yunfeng without looking back, there is no need to break up with Chen Sui.Even if you want to draw a clear line, you can't immediately drive people out of the house while they are in danger.

Ren Xuan endured a week in the unfavorable situation on both sides, and chose a fairly sunny working day. After work, he picked up a few fruits that Cheng Yunfeng still liked to eat and went to "Xiaowenyi."

Cheng Yunfeng can't remember to eat fruit at ordinary times, and his fingers often have barbs due to lack of vitamins. He couldn't help pulling, and there were many small red wounds under the nails.Ren Xuan leaned against the car window and thought, Cheng Yunfeng must have been lazy and didn't eat without him stuffing the washed fruit in front of his eyes these days when he didn't meet.

The foreman recognized Ren Xuan who had entered the door at a glance, and regretfully told him that the boss had something to do and went home early.Ren Xuan thanked her, and went to Cheng Yunfeng's apartment with her things.

He rang the doorbell at the door for a long time, but there was no sound of people walking around in the room. Ren Xuan dialed Cheng Yunfeng's number again, but there was still no answer.

He originally wanted to leave the fruit at the door, but the corridor of the apartment was open, and there was a mess of people coming and going. Ren Xuan waited for a long time and still couldn't see Cheng Yunfeng, so he had to go home with his things.

Ren Xuan who waited for the empty door was not angry, he was willing to understand Cheng Yunfeng's temper, recalling that he left Cheng Yunfeng alone at home that night, Ren Xuan still felt a little guilty and regretful.If he was willing to show more patience and negotiate with Cheng Yunfeng peacefully to reach a result, maybe the two of them wouldn't be in a cold war to this day.

He got up early on Saturday, and when he was about to go out, he met Chen Sui who opened the door sleepily to go to the bathroom. The two of them said hello vaguely across half the living room. to go home.

Ren Xuan dangled on the earliest bus, and the bus was empty, only the aunt who went shopping with her was complaining about the price of meat.People who get up early on weekends are full of energy, and they can be infected with a bright mood when they pass by.He bought a delicious breakfast on the side of the road, and knocked on Cheng Yunfeng's door with two heavy bags.

Cheng Yunfeng glanced at the cat's eyes, and slowly opened the door.Bare-chested, with sports pants that were obviously put on temporarily and the waist of the trousers were crooked, he reluctantly opened the door for an entrance. "Why are you here? Why don't you take care of your 'good brother' at home."

Cheng Yunfeng pretended to be brave, but took the initiative to take Ren Xuan's breakfast in his hand, and moved away to give Ren Xuan a way to enter the door.

Cheng Yunfeng simply washed his face, and when he came out, Ren Xuan had already set breakfast on the coffee table.He picked up a wrinkled sweater and put it on, and sat opposite Ren Xuan, and the two had a wordless breakfast.

The development of the matter was different from Ren Xuan's expectations. Cheng Yunfeng was much more stubborn than he imagined, and he refused to give in to Chen Sui's attitude, and it could even be said that it was not negotiable.

Cheng Yunfeng insisted that Chen Sui move out of Ren Xuan's house, and emphasized again that he had no good intentions for Ren Xuan.Ren Xuan did not refute this time, but driving Chen Sui out just because of this is still not acceptable to Ren Xuan.

The two had a stalemate for a whole day, completely killing Ren Xuan's good mood in the morning.He was full of confidence that he could negotiate a solution, but Party A didn't make any money and only gave him a decision to "blow up the project".

The two of them fell asleep back to back without even having a good dinner. Ren Xuan could feel Cheng Yunfeng tossing and turning over there, and he himself couldn't sleep all night.

The next day, both of them woke up with dark circles under their eyes, and the weather was also suitable for the occasion, looking gloomy and stormy.Cheng Yunfeng was worried that Ren Xuan would be drowned, so he drove people home at noon, and before going out, he gritted his teeth and gave Ren Xuan a death sentence: "Tell him to pack up his things and leave before next weekend. If he doesn't leave, I will personally come to help him move."
