presumptuous

The place where Yu and Li Huaiqing met was a western restaurant that they used to frequent.

It was Yu Huan's first visit to this city, and it was also the place where Li Huaiqing took him to eat.

The timing of their meeting was a bit subtle, it was not a meal time, there were not many people in the restaurant, the waiter handed over the menu, and Li Huaiqing arbitrarily chose the one that Yu returned.

Yu didn't say anything yet.He has always been like this.There is no particularly annoying food, not very picky eaters, and can eat whatever is fed, which is very easy to feed.

Li Huaiqing's opening remarks were very simple, saying: "You seem to be a little fatter than I saw you before, have you been doing well recently?"

This is irony.

Yu could hear it, and then remained silent as usual.He is not angry if he doesn't answer the other party's words.

Li Huaiqing continued: "You are too busy, you can only come out to see me at this kind of time."

It was very cold today, and Yu was still wearing a thick padded jacket, hat and cotton gloves. The man in front of him, after taking off his coat, was wearing a neat suit inside. He had to dust off his cuffs, straighten his tie and smooth out the wrinkles before sitting down.

It's not that Yu didn't think they were inappropriate.He couldn't adapt to Li Huaiqing's upper-class demeanor. Even after studying abroad for a few years, he still hoped to walk the snack street with someone and eat hot pot to warm up when he came back.

When he was studying, many people showed affection to him. Whenever he wanted to respond to the other party's feelings, the other party would show a embarrassed expression and say, "Sorry, I'm sorry, I thought...we can still be free from each other for a few years."

Just for fun.

Almost everyone thinks that he has experience in many battles and handles emotions with ease. In fact, Li Huaiqing is the only person Yu Huan has formally dated with.

He was always like a moth, bumping forward recklessly, until he was dizzy and his ears were ringing, only to realize—oh, he was wrong.

Yu also smelled the smell of burnt cotton wool on his body again, with flames covering his head and toes, which made him a little restless.

"Did that little boyfriend of yours say something to you when you came to the appointment?" Li Huaiqing's malice ended here, and she covered the emotion in her eyes and asked.

"What?" Yu still didn't realize it for a while, "...No, he didn't say anything." He didn't deny Li Huaiqing's address to Feng Jiuwang for the time being, fearing that the showdown would turn into another situation.

Li Huaiqing was a little surprised: "That's strange. I clearly told him the address on the phone and asked him to pass it on to you. I thought you were persuaded by him to come to see me."

This time Yu was completely stunned.

He didn't hear Feng Jiuwang mention this issue at all, no wonder Feng Jiuwang only replied a few words to Li Huaiqing after talking on the phone for so long.

That brat!

Li Huaiqing seemed to have guessed something, "It seems that he didn't tell you? It's really good."

Yu Huan: "No..." He could hardly argue.

Why didn't Feng Juwang talk to him?Be sure to ask him back.

"It seems that you get along well?" Li Huaiqing said casually, "I really didn't expect you to find someone younger than yourself. The question that day was not malicious, so don't misunderstand."

Yu Huan's thoughts returned to the conversation, and he opened his mouth: "...It's okay, I don't care."

It's like this again, they say polite words to maintain the decency of the damned so-called adults.

Li Huaiqing looked at Yu Huan, "I met him in the square before, and he was also with him?" He was referring to the chance encounter in the square two months ago.

That was really him.

Before Yu could speak, Li Huaiqing had already noticed it, and then smiled wryly: "So it's so early."

With his expression, it seemed that Yu Huan was the one who betrayed his heart.

Yu was still listening silently.

The knife and fork in front of them did not move, and no one had the appetite to eat the meal.

Yu also said: "You keep calling me, what's the matter?"

Li Huaiqing pushed the glasses on the bridge of her nose, "I think there are some things between us that haven't been clarified yet."

"I thought," Yu Huan raised his eyes, the previous silence was frozen at this moment, "we should have made things clear that night."

This time it was Li Huaiqing who was dumbfounded.

He did drink a lot of alcohol that night and lost control of his emotions, otherwise he would never have done such a thing in the past, making it impossible for both of them to end.He was supposed to strike while the iron was hot and ask for forgiveness, but a stranger appeared out of thin air and disrupted his rhythm.

It seems that he is still an acquaintance of Yu Huan.

Li Huaiqing suddenly remembered this episode: "Who was that person that night?"

Yu Huan's tongue almost got stuck in his mouth.

No matter which time it was Feng Jiuwang.

"……a student."

Li Huaiqing frowned, "Didn't see anything?" He asked a little late, if something happened, it must have happened long ago.

Yu Huan's expression was almost unstoppable, he coughed dryly and turned his head to look outside, "Well, no."

How could it be possible, not only saw him, but also threatened him, since then he has been holding on to his tail and not letting go, followed by "teacher" and "brother" screaming.

He didn't intend to talk about this with Li Huaiqing.

"I asked you out that day to reconcile, to explain things clearly, to see if I could be given another chance... I didn't really have sex with that boy." Li Huaiqing said, but this time it was clean and tidy. "But it seems that you don't need it... well, I don't, but I still want to make it clear."

If it was before, Yu would probably have said, "Well, I know, let's get together and get away."He has always been like this, he doesn't cause unnecessary trouble for himself, the most nosy thing he has done is to take a taxi after ten o'clock at night to find a naughty boy.At that time, he was fulfilling his duties as a teacher.

But at this moment, he suddenly didn't want to say that.I don't want to obey the rules of adults in everything, and my childish side is quietly revealed.

"I asked someone to open a room, but I didn't actually do it in the end." The frost on the window looked abnormally cold, and Yu still spoke mercilessly, and even showed a gentle smile, looking cute and sly, "It's a shame Yes."

Li Huaiqing: "..."

He really couldn't continue with these words, so he could only change the subject and say, "Seeing that you are doing well now, I am relieved."

Yu didn't answer the words, and turned his head to look outside.

In fact, they wouldn't last long without this incident. Before that inexplicable phone call, they were in a cold war.

The other party insisted on finding a plausible reason for himself, expressing his thoughts of wanting to cheat so fresh and refined, and shaping his image with affection.

Why bother.

It's not like the person on the other side can't understand.

It's just that they didn't want to point it out in the past, leaving a bit of decency for each other.As if it was necessary.

Now Yu suddenly didn't want to, and pointed it out bluntly.In the clusters of flames, I looked like burning cotton, a strand of ashes burned out and fell at my feet.

"That's all you want to say?" he asked.

Li Huaiqing was startled and nodded.

Yu was still smiling, his smile was as good-looking as ever, attracting other people's eyes to stay on him.Li Huaiqing was also attracted by him, so she picked a spring flower for this reason.

As a result, Yu Huan's next sentence was to pour a bucket of cold water on his face.

"Then settle the bill, separate the settlement, there is no need to contact me again, and please don't call me again."

Li Huaiqing reached out to stop him from getting up, and looked at him in disbelief: "You mean you can't even be friends?"

Yu was still silent, and the corner of his mouth was pulled down quickly.

Sure enough, I couldn't smile.

Facing this person in front of him, facing all the same people, he used to maintain the same attitude.

He knew very well that as long as he smiled perfunctorily after Li Huaiqing finished explaining, "Then we will still be friends from now on" and never contact this person, the matter will pass smoothly.Li Huaiqing's character would never allow himself to stalk, they would become strangers in the end.

Probably because after getting along with Feng Jiuwang for a long time, his thinking became like a primary school student, and Yu Huan suddenly... just didn't want to do that.

I don't want to make the other person feel better.

Yu thought about it, and said, "I actually hate western food." He likes scrambled eggs with tomatoes, corn with pine nuts, and rice.

He never told Li Huaiqing that he didn't like Western food at all, and he had eaten enough in the past few years abroad, so why would he be devastated by this thing when he returned to China.

Yu Huan agreed to associate with Li Huaiqing at the beginning because he thought that Li Huaiqing was a reliable person, calm and assertive, and at most a bit machismo.

If he wants to have a stable love life, he must be willing to give up. If he just eats a western meal occasionally, he can certainly bear it.

But after getting along for a long time, he understood that when two people live together, some things cannot be settled.

They weren't right from the start.

Sure enough, Li Huaiqing was stunned for a long time after hearing his words, and finally said: "...Why didn't you say it earlier?"

Yu also shook his head: "It's the same whether you say it or not, there is no difference."

They didn't separate because of this little thing.This is just one of them.

Let's just let it go, he doesn't want to live in a daze any longer, throwing away those unnecessary worries, he wants to not leave any difficult knots for himself this time.

"The boy you saw has nothing special to do with me. He is my student. Don't look at me like that. We are fine. He is straight. He just turned [-] not long ago. How could I attack him... ...Just because of some reason, he knows about me and you. You don't have to be so nervous, he won't say anything. He wants to support me, in case others misunderstand his sexuality because of me, it's not good, so I'll make it clear to you."

Yu also said a lot, paused, and this time he looked directly at the person opposite: "Although I have nothing to do with him, it is even more impossible to be with you. Li Huaiqing, you don't have to talk about cheating so nicely, even if you didn't have sex It should have been ambiguous for a while. I'm not a fool, I know it all, but I'm just too lazy to say it, do you have to understand it if I explain it?" He grinned, tilted his head a little vindictively, and looked a bit like Feng Zhu Wang, "It's so disgusting."

It was 04:30 in the afternoon when they came out of the restaurant. They stayed in it for nearly an hour, and the knife and fork were not picked up once.

Li Huaiqing's face was ugly, and Yu was always on guard against him accidentally hitting him.

He wasn't afraid of fighting, but it was somewhat ugly for two adults with a combined age of more than 60 to fight in public.

And because of the face of that damned adult, Li Huaiqing said, "I'll take you back to school."

Yu also directly refused: "No need, I will take a taxi."

Li Huaiqing said stiffly: "The wind is so strong, you still have to wait for the car, why not me..."

"Yu Huan."

Someone was calling Yu Huan, and the familiar slightly lazy tone was clearly transmitted to the ears through the cold wind.

Yu Huan turned his head to see Feng Jiuwang, not surprised at all.

He always felt that he would come.

After all, Li Huaiqing gave the address on the phone, so Feng Jiuwang, a kid who doesn't think it's a big deal to watch the excitement, must have observed something secretly.

Before Yu could sigh, Feng Jiuwang walked up to him first and held his finger.

The boy pinched his cold fingertips with hot hands, and lowered his head affectionately, "I'll pick you up."

Yu also wanted him to stop pretending, he had already made it clear to others.It was originally his personal matter, but it accidentally involved Feng Jiuwang...

After all, it wasn't because Feng Jiuwang was curious!

It was his own fault!

Deserves to be implicated!

Yu Huan was so angry that he had nowhere to vent it, causing Feng Jiuwang to be stared at innocently.

Feng Jiuwang didn't cry out for injustice, but helped Yu button up his hoodie, put it on neatly, and then turned his eyes to Li Huaiqing, his eyes were extremely cold.

Li Huaiqing stepped back slightly.

It was this piercing look that made him leave downstairs in Yuhuan Community without explaining anything clearly.

Before Yu saw it, the fingers curled up in the sleeve stretched out and tugged at Feng Juwang's sleeve, but Feng Juwang's action interrupted what he wanted to say.

Feng Jiuwang suddenly lowered his head and kissed his side cheek.

The warm lips meet the cool cheeks.

It was just January, and the second snow hadn't arrived as expected.

In Yu Huan's heart, a white snow fell first, covering his head and face, and the extreme cold turned into heat.
