Warm water

After a hangover, Lu Yichen woke up from the small sofa.

Ji Yan was busy in the kitchen, saw someone woke up, and brought out breakfast, "Come and eat something."

The food on the plate is simple, hot milk, sandwiches, all in double servings.

Lu Yichen's expression was still very gloomy.

"Why don't you eat?" Ji Yan asked.

"I really can't eat it, sorry."

Seeing Lu Yichen's sullen look, Ji Yan thought for a while and asked, "Is the person you like going to study abroad?"

Lu Yichen froze for a moment, but did not answer.But his flickering eyes have already confirmed that Ji Yan is right.

"The other party is a boy?" Ji Yan seemed to be asking, but his expression was determined.

Lu Yichen trembled all over, opened his mouth, but didn't make a sound.Ji Yan didn't know whether he was going to admit it or deny it.

"You said it when you were drunk last night," Ji Yan thought for a while, and comforted him: "Don't feel inferior, it's not a disease. Not being recognized doesn't mean that you don't exist, and it doesn't mean that you are wrong. Wait until you go to the wider world environment, you will find many people like you.”

Lu Yichen looked up at Ji Yan, no one had ever said these words to him.

Immediately afterwards, Ji Yan said: "For example, I am."

Lu Yichen couldn't believe it.

The handsome shop owner in front of him turned out to be gay.Same as myself.

For a moment, Lu Yichen felt an indescribable feeling in his heart.

"So don't take it to heart, you are very good, really." Ji Yan smiled and pushed the milk in front of Lu Yichen.

Lu Yichen hesitated for a moment, took the milk, picked up the sandwich and took a bite.

The boy quickly finished his breakfast, and thanked him solemnly when he left.

Ji Yan didn't care much about these things, it didn't matter whether he thanked him or not, it was just because he wanted to say these words.

A few minutes later, the boy came back again, smiling shyly, with a very cute expression on his face.

"Well...can the boss lend me some money?"

"How much?"

"Two hundred, I want to buy a birthday present for my friend." Lu Yichen blushed a little.

Ji Yan took out two red notes from his pocket and handed them to Lu Yichen, "Will you give it to the boy in school uniform yesterday? Do you know what to buy? Shall I help you choose?"

"This is too much trouble for you, so you don't need it."

"It's okay, I just happen to want to go out for a walk."

Lu Yichen didn't refuse again, "Then I'll come to you at night."

That night, Lu Yichen took Ji Yan to a sneaker store.

Ji Yan stared at the sign hanging on the shoe store, slightly shocked, did Lu Yichen want to give his classmate shoes?Shoes of this brand cannot be bought for two hundred.

Lu Yichen quickly chose a pair of white sneakers, Ji Yan glanced at the price, one thousand and two.He clicked his tongue, this kid is really willing to spend money.

After leaving the shoe store, the two walked slowly towards the bus stop.

Ji Yan is an old woman, and he can't help but worry about it, "I remember your family situation is not very good, right? The money for these shoes..."

From the bottom of his heart, Ji Yan doesn't want Lu Yichen to be a prodigal son who spends his parents' hard-earned money to buy expensive gifts for his friends.

"The shoes I bought were all earned from my part-time job, and I didn't spend money from my family." Lu Yichen replied.

Obviously, he heard the meaning of Ji Yan's words.

Ji Yan thought for a while, and continued to ask: "Why did you send shoes? If you can't buy the size and style..."

"No, the size and style of the shoes I bought are very suitable for him." Lu Yichen's tone was affirmative, the corners of his eyes were curved, "He likes these shoes very much, I know."

The hair of the two of them was messed up by the evening wind.

Looking at Lu Yichen's eyes, Ji Yan suddenly understood who Lu Yichen liked.Eyes are not deceiving, that look, the curvature of the corners of the eyes, is just the expression of liking someone.

For some reason, Ji Yan suddenly envied that gentle boy.

Time flies by.

The day before graduation, Lu Yichen came to resign his job in the store.Ji Yan had already expected this scene, but when he said goodbye to Lu Yichen, he was very reluctant, very reluctant.

Lu Yichen stepped forward to hug Ji Yan, and the warm air sprayed into Ji Yan's ear, "Thank you, brother Yan."

Since it was no longer an employment relationship, Lu Yichen naturally changed his mind.

In the scorching summer, the boy's fiery body clings to Ji Yan.Ji Yan's heart beat faster, did you forget?He likes the same sex, and he can't help hugging like this.

The boy didn't know that he teased Ji Yan, and after the hug ended, Lu Yichen left.

At night, on the way back after Ji Yan closed the store, he heard arguing in the alley.

Ji Yan has always been a person who doesn't take too much trouble when watching the excitement, so he stopped his bicycle and quietly walked to the entrance of the alley.

"Xia Jinian, didn't you say you're not leaving?"

As soon as Ji Yan passed by, he heard such a sentence.

This excited voice was very familiar.

"Yichen, listen to me, wait for me, when I come back from studying abroad, we can be together."

Hearing this, Ji Yan suddenly realized.

It turned out that Lu Yichen was arguing with Xia Jinian.

He had heard the name of this person from Lu Yichen before, Lu Yichen's sweetheart.

"I'm waiting for you, how can I wait for you? Once you leave, you don't know how many years you will come back."

In the dark alley, Lu Yichen held Xia Jinian's shoulders tightly.

"Yichen..."

"Forget it, let's go, we'll still be friends when you come back." Lu Yichen let go of his hand, leaning his body against the wall slowly.

"What nonsense are you talking about? Can't you wait for me?" Xia Jinian suddenly raised his voice.

"No." Lu Yichen lowered his head.

Xia Jinian froze for a moment, took two steps back, turned around and rushed out of the alley.

Then Xia Jinian met Ji Yan who was standing at the entrance of the alley, and the two looked at each other for a moment.Under the dim street lights, Xia Jinian's big eyes were watery.

"Ah... passing by..." Ji Yan scratched his head.

Xia Jinian frowned and ran away quickly.After Xia Jinian left, Ji Yan walked into the alley.The boy leaned against the wall, covering his face with his hands, sobbing softly.

Ji Yan touched the boy's head on tiptoe, and a smell of alcohol entered Ji Yan's nostrils. He frowned and asked softly, "Drinking again?"

The boy was still choking.

Just as Ji Yan was thinking about how to persuade him, he suddenly bumped into a strong chest.Lu Yichen took Ji Yan into his arms, buried his head in Ji Yan's neck, his shoulders were wet with tears.

"He... is going to study abroad tomorrow..." Lu Yichen rubbed his hands twice, tears dripping onto Ji Yan's face.

Ji Yan's heart beat faster again, and he felt distressed.I feel sorry for Lu Yichen like this, I don't want him to cry, I don't want to see him sad.

Then, Ji Yan did the most impulsive thing in his life.He held Lu Yichen's head and pressed his lips to his.

Lu Yichen's eyes widened in surprise.
