it takes a little effort

The car stopped at the entrance of Old Street, and Jiang Kai jumped out of the car following Ling Chuan.

This ancient street is a branch of the main road in the urban area. The earliest city center was here, but later, more and more residential areas were built in the north, and several large shopping malls opened, and the city center gradually shifted.

Although the street is an old street, the flow of people is still very large.

The streets are narrow and brick paved. Compared to the urban area, Ling Chuan prefers this place. Although it is not so prosperous, many snack bars have been open for more than ten years, and they are full of the taste from memory.

The aroma that filled the air quickly diverted Ling Chuan's attention, and he couldn't resist buying two roasted sweet potatoes before taking two steps.

Holding steaming sweet sweet potatoes in their hands, the two strolled slowly on this snake-like street, from the street to the end of the street, carrying a large bag of snacks in their hands.

"Let's go there to eat steak." Ling Chuan said.

Jiang Kai followed the direction of Ling Chuan's finger and saw a western restaurant, probably newly opened, with a recruitment notice posted on the door.

"Okay." Jiang Kai never refuted Ling Chuan's proposal.

This store is quiet amidst the hustle and bustle, the decoration style is retro, and the warm yellow lighting is comfortable and pleasant.

This time is the most crowded time in the store, and it is a bit noisy. After they entered, they were taken to the second floor by the window by the waiter.

After ordering the meal, the waiter first served them a glass of lemonade.

After he calmed down, Ling Chuan couldn't help thinking about the incident just now, and the base of his ears started to feel hot. He lowered his head and kneaded his earlobes with his cold fingertips, trying to cool them down.

In fact, it is reasonable to say that there should not be such a big reaction.

Didn't he just knock his mouth?

But just can't control it.

"Would you like to go shopping after eating?" Jiang Kai looked out the window at the crowded street.

"Oh, good." Ling Chuan looked at Jiang Kai's side face with his cheeks propped up, but the moment Jiang Kai turned his head, he quickly looked out the window.

He doesn't dare to look Jiang Kai in the eyes now.

Jiang Kai sensed the strange atmosphere, and before he had time to think about it, he caught a glimpse of a familiar figure at the top of the stairs.

"Your friend." He raised his chin, motioning Ling Chuan to look behind him.

Ling Chuan had a mouthful of lemonade before he could swallow it, turned his head and saw Yang Fan choked it out of his nostrils, and coughed violently.

Jiang Kai quickly handed him a tissue.

Yang Fan walked over with a smile, with a meaningful expression on his face, followed by none other than his good cousin, Zhou Yueyi.

"You, what are you two doing together?" Ling Chuan wiped the water off his face, stuttering a little, feeling like he was watching the rape scene.

"Christmas." Yang Fan leaned on the corner of the table and glanced at Jiang Kai, then turned his head to look at Ling Chuan, and smiled, "Come out and have a meal."

Ling Chuan no longer cared about how the two of them got together and how they appeared in the restaurant, he just wanted to drill down along the cracks in the tiles.

Jiang Kai naturally didn't know what kind of conversation the two of them had before, so he just asked politely, "There is no room? How about fighting?"

"Okay." Yang Fan pulled out the chair for Zhou Yueyi, and sat down with peace of mind.

The waiter came again and added an order for them.

Ling Chuan drank a glass of water before slowly regaining his composure, regained his focus, looked at Zhou Yueyi and said, "Why did you run out with him?"

"My parents went back to the countryside to see my grandparents. No one cooked for me. He said he invited me out for a big meal." Zhou Yueyi took a sip of her drink and said innocently.

Ling Chuan glanced at Yang Fan who was sitting across from him. He guessed that this kid had already seen through it, so he deliberately followed him.

If it was normal, he would definitely ask him why he hooked up with my sister, she is still young!

But today I have a guilty conscience and can only turn a blind eye.

Yang Fan didn't expose Ling Chuan to his face, but just smiled ambiguously with the corners of his mouth curled up the whole time, making people want to slap him.

After the dishes came to the table one after another, Ling Chuan and Yang Fan ate the food on the plate with ulterior motives, and the other two chatted with each other without knowing it.

Jiang Kai touched his broken mouth while chewing, and it hurt a little, so he couldn't help frowning. Although it was only for a short time, Zhou Yueyi, who was sitting opposite, noticed it.

"Did you bite your tongue?" Zhou Yueyi asked.

"No," Jiang Kai licked the broken skin, "it was broken."

"Ah? Where did you hit?" Zhou Yueyi asked.

"Bump..." Jiang Kai glanced at Ling Chuan.

"Fuck, this steak is too fucking delicious!" Ling Chuan roared.

The eyes of the people at the next table turned around.

Zhou Yueyi was taken aback, and pushed her steak over, "Then eat more, I'll lose weight anyway."

"What weight loss, what weight loss!" Ling Chuan picked up her sleeves and shook them twice, "If you lose just a few taels of meat, you will become a mummy."

"I'm already over a hundred catties!" Zhou Yueyi patted his hand away impatiently, "If I get fatter, I won't be able to find a boyfriend."

"What are you afraid of!" Ling Chuan turned up his volume and glanced at Yang Fan who was facing him, "There are too many people who are blind."

"Yes!" Yang Fan echoed, and quickly changed his words in the next second, "No, you are not fat, you are not fat! You belong to that kind of body that is just right."

Zhou Yueyi pouted and looked at Jiang Kai, as if looking for a sincere answer.

"Eat, not fat." Jiang Kai raised the corners of his mouth and smiled.

The question of how the lip was broken was successfully covered up, Ling Chuan heaved a sigh of relief, and ate the pasta in big mouthfuls.

To be honest, the food in this shop tastes really good. The steak is very tender, and the sauce of the pasta is also very tasty. You will not feel tired after eating ten servings.

Ling Chuan ate three pieces of steak, two servings of pasta, and a snack platter by himself. In fact, he could eat more, but it was a bit expensive.

The shameless Yang Fan also let him treat him.

No way, who told him to lie first.

After eating, the four of them went to the cinema together to watch a new comedy.

Jiang Kai didn't get a laugh the whole time. He squinted his eyes and looked at the trio of Lecheng fools next to him. To him, what was funny was not the movie, but Yang Fan's devilish laughter, quacking like a duck.

A little thirsty after eating too much popcorn, Ling Chuan reached for the Coke, shook it and found it was empty, and put it back again.

Jiang Kai happened to catch a glimpse of his action, so he handed over his cup smoothly.

Ling Chuan froze for a moment, then took the drink from Jiang Kai's hand.

In the darkness, Jiang Kai's eyes flashed a light, as if he was smiling.

The drink in the glass is not full.

Jiang Kai drank it.

Indirect kissing.

Ling Chuan felt that he was about to die.

I used to have a lot of things to eat with Yang Fan, and there is no such hypocritical word as indirect kissing like now.

He couldn't listen to what the movie was saying at all, and when Yang Fan laughed, he also laughed a few times.

Jiang Kai's beautiful eyebrows and smile are all in his mind.

What the heck.

Ling Chuan squeezed the straw, and his cheeks started to feel hot for no reason. Fortunately, no one would care even if it was burnt to a soldering iron in the dark movie theater.

He began to think over and over how he felt about Jiang Kai.

At the beginning of the period, I really didn't have such complicated emotions. I simply thought that this person was good-looking, with a good brain, and he was a very worthwhile friend.

I don't know what's wrong, but I went astray while playing.

Seeing Jiang Kai's smile made my little heart twitch.

When the head is touched, the little heart will twitch.

The lips touch, so fucking paralyzed.

He couldn't help but think of the word Li Yu scolded him last time.

stupid gay.

He lived for 17 years without ever doubting his sexuality, and he didn't even know much about the word homosexuality.

Homosexuality, in his perception, is abnormal.

Now he is very abnormal.

Although I don't want to admit it.

But he felt that he should, maybe, probably, maybe fell in love with Jiang Kai.

This kind of liking obviously transcends the boundaries of friendship, and has the desire to possess.

Obviously, it can't be family affection.

Dazedly following Yang Fan and the others out of the screening room, they found that the glass of drink that Jiang Kai handed him was still in his hand, and it was already empty.

I didn't drink any taste, but I felt that there was still a hint of sweetness on the tip of my tongue.

I wanted to hold it for a while longer, but when I went out, the cold wind was biting, so I had to throw it away.

"Everyone goes back to each house, each finds each mother," Ling Chuan pointed at Yang Fan, "Escort my sister to the gate of the community, and you are not allowed to enter, do you hear me?"

"Obey." Yang Fan saluted.

"Send me a message when you get home." Ling Chuan returned Zhou Yueyi's backpack to her.

"Okay, brother bye." Zhou Yueyi waved to Jiang Kai and Ling Chuan.

"Telegram at night." Yang Fan whispered in Ling Chuan's ear before leaving.

After 09:30, the originally noisy street gradually quieted down, and all kinds of fruit stalls and snack vendors had died down.

Jiang Kai and Ling Chuan got off the bus and walked slowly to the entrance of the community.

"Well, my second uncle printed out those photos for me last time." Ling Chuan took out the photos in his schoolbag. He originally planned to give them to Jiang Kai during dinner, but he didn't expect two Cheng Yaojins to come out. .

Jiang Kai saw the photo in his hand clearly by the streetlight.

There are three photos in total, two are my own, and one is Ling Chuan's, all of which have been framed in wooden frames.

It feels much better than what you see on camera.

"Thanks," Jiang Kai said while putting the photo frame into his schoolbag, "To tell you the truth, I haven't really taken many photos. I will keep them well."

Ling Chuan smirked twice, "Then do I have a reward?"

"Oh, yes, reward," Jiang Kai nodded as if remembering something, "What do you want?"

"Can you..." Ling Chuan's heart was beating violently, and he couldn't catch his breath. He really wanted to ask if you could rub my head like last time, but he felt that rubbing his head was a bit of a disadvantage, so he was stunned for a long time. Then he said dully, "Can I give you a hug?"

"Ah?" Jiang Kai stared, almost unable to react.

After Ling Chuan said this, he regretted it, especially when he saw Jiang Kai's expression, he felt stupid.

what are you doing! ?

Ask a guy for a hug! ?

Crazy! ?

"Uh..." Just as he was blushing and trying to find an excuse to change the subject, Jiang Kai suddenly took a step forward and hooked his neck to his chest.

Ling Chuan froze and didn't move, all the organs seemed to stop working, only the sound of the heart beating violently.

puff.

puff.

puff.

……

"Is that so?" Jiang Kai patted Ling Chuan on the back.

"Yeah." Ling Chuan responded in a low voice, Jiang Kai's gentle voice shocked him, if not for his chin resting on his shoulder, he would have been lying dead.

Jiang Kai's unique smell is in his breath.

He tilted his head slightly, rubbed his chin against the exposed skin on Jiang Kai's neck, and his whole body went numb in an instant, like an electric shock.

Ling Chuan's heavy breath fell into Jiang Kai's ears, carrying an ambiguous smell.

"I want to thank you for helping me all the time, I'm so happy today."

Although his mind was blank, Ling Chuan still wanted to find some reason to add a definition to this hug so that the atmosphere would not be so ambiguous.

He was afraid that Jiang Kai would see through his little thoughts, and that Jiang Kai would alienate him quietly.

"You're welcome." Jiang Kai tightened his arms around his waist involuntarily.

Jiang Kai felt that behind Ling Chuan's optimistic personality, there might be a lot of forbearance that others couldn't see, lack of recognition and attention, and when his emotions reached a certain point, his fragile side would be triggered.

"You are great," Jiang Kai rubbed the back of Ling Chuan's head, "Keep working hard for the final exam."

"Yeah." Ling Chuan closed his eyes and rubbed his forehead against Jiang Kai's soft sweater. Even if it was a suffocating hug, he couldn't bear to end it.

"Drip-"

The ear-piercing sound of car horns cut through the night sky, both of them were startled, and jumped two meters away.

A beam of high-beam lights came in, and an uncle poked out half of his head from the driver's seat, looked at Ling Chuan meanly, and said in a strange voice, "Oh, it's a boy..."

Ling Chuan almost wanted to kick his head off.

After the car drove away, Jiang Kai hooked Ling Chuan's neck and went upstairs, "Merry Christmas."

"Merry Christmas." Ling Chuan responded in a low voice.

"Good night." Jiang Kai patted him on the shoulder.

"Good night." Ling Chuan still lowered his head, turned around and walked to the door of the house, fumbling for the key on his body.

"The key is in the side pocket of your schoolbag." Jiang Kai couldn't help saying, seeing his distraught look.

"Oh!" Ling Chuan took out the key with his backhand, opened the door, and shouted to Jiang Kai before closing the door, "Good night!"

"Yeah." Jiang Kai closed the door, with a smile that couldn't be concealed from the corner of his mouth. He didn't know what he was laughing at, he just wanted to laugh.

The author has something to say: I think it’s the most interesting time to fall in love.

Because of a small look or gesture from the other party, you can be excited for a long time.

I live in speculation every day, and sometimes I feel wronged for a long time because of a word from the other party.

I want to get closer to each other all the time, even if I don't speak, just being next to each other is happiness.

I don't know if you have experienced this feeling.

I really like writing about unrequited love and ambiguity.

There can be many flavors, sweet, bitter, spicy, and all kinds of tastes can be drilled into the heart. It is also the most common form of love in school days.

If you read my article, there are little fairies who are still in the stage of unrequited love.

I wish the one you like loves you too.
