awkward

Ye Mu's injury healed very quickly, and he was discharged from the hospital at the beginning of the month.

When packing up and leaving, Chen Mo went to the balcony and squinted at the surrounding buildings, feeling a bit reluctant. To be honest, he quite enjoyed the days of taking care of Ye Mu, which was warm and cozy.

The warm winter light reflected on him, looming against the broad and vigorous lines of his back, adding a bit of masculinity to his young and handsome face.

Ye Mu stared at him sideways for a while, then said lightly, "You seem to have grown a little taller recently."

Chen Mo raised his eyebrows slightly, walked over and hugged him in his arms, raised his hand to measure the distance between the top of his head and the bridge of his nose, and gently pulled the corners of his mouth, "It seems to be the second development?"

Ye Mu hummed, "You're still young, it should be."

Chen Mo squeezed his chin and kissed him, "It's better to grow taller, and I will help you protect you from any wind and rain in the future."

Ye Mu turned to look at him, "If it's the kind of storm that will drag you into it."

Chen Mo reached out to stroke his back, closed his eyes and hooked his lips, jokingly said, "Then we can only run away."

Ye Mu spoke indifferently, "I never counted on you."

Chen Mo said hehe, "Are you stupid, you can believe anything you say casually."

Ye Mu remained expressionless, "I'm too lazy to talk to you, let's go when we're almost ready, it's time for dinner at this point."

Chen Mo rubbed his chin against his soft hair, "What do you want to eat, I will cook for you tonight."

Ye Mulue pondered, "There's nothing you want to eat in particular, just cook something you're good at."

Chen Mo responded, and his Adam's apple rolled down, "Go shopping together later?"

Ye Mu frowned, "Two men?"

Chen Mo narrowed his eyes, his broken bangs covered his forehead, and he hesitated, "Why don't you stay in the car and wait for me?"

Ye Mu silently thought for a while, and said, "It's okay, it's a rare one, I'll follow along to see if there's anything I want to eat."

Chen Mo nodded without refusing, "Okay."

Ye Mu put on a white down jacket from the side and went to the door, "Let's go."

Chen Mo responded, followed with a bag, and at the end of the day, he didn't forget to bring the bouquet of fake flowers he bought on Valentine's Day.

Ye Mu glanced at it, was silent for a while, and couldn't help but cast a blank stare, "Throw it away."

Chen Mo looked worried, "Stop talking nonsense."

Ye Mu couldn't help but insist on something, "I don't care about you."

With a dark face, Chen Mo couldn't help saying, "Flowers and fake flowers are all flowers, I don't know what you dislike."

Ye Mu glanced at him disdainfully, "I finally understand why you were dumped by so many women."

The corners of Chen Mo's lips twitched slightly, "It's only three or four, don't talk nonsense."

Ye Mu raised his eyebrows, "Three or four are not many, do you want to be dumped seventeen or eight times?"

Chen Mo's eyes were full of hostility, "I think you deserve a beating."

Ye Muwan'er accepted it as soon as it was good, and didn't go on any further. He took the elevator to the underground garage with him.

Chen Mo opened the trunk and put his things in, sat in the driver's seat and drove the car out.

He took a spin around the neighborhood and finally stopped at a large shopping market.

Ye Mu got out of the car with him, and the two walked up the escalator, and they came to the vegetable area not long after.

They were all tall and tall, and they seemed a bit awkward walking in the crowd. After picking and buying a few things inside, they attracted some attention.

Ye Mu was afraid of being gossiped, so he kept a little distance from Chen Mo, just like going out to buy vegetables with ordinary colleagues, and his attitude was not salty or bland.

On the other hand, Chen Mo's mentality is very good, he didn't care much about the eyes of his surroundings, and carefully selected the dishes there, "Do you want steak?"

Ye Mu was a little absent-minded, "You know how to do it?"

Chen Mo lowered his head and scanned the price tag, "It's okay, but it's a bit rusty if you haven't done it for a while, so forget it if you don't want to eat it."

Ye Mu was not emotional, "Take a piece."

Chen Mo turned his face and pulled him closer to his side, "You want to be older or younger."

Ye Mu frowned slightly, and took a few steps back, "Whatever."

Chen Mo glanced at him lightly, noticing the discomfort in his eyes, and said amusedly, "Being gay for so long, are you still afraid that others will know?"

Ye Mu's complexion flashed a bit complicated, he hesitated to speak, "I don't care, I'm just worried about you."

Chen Mo raised his eyebrows, his jaw line was clear, "What are you worried about me?"

Ye Mu's eyes as calm as water fell on his face, "Don't you reject it, when others look at you with that strange look."

Chen Mo pursed his thin lips slightly, "It doesn't matter, they are all people I don't know, and you are standing so far away from me now, no one will misunderstand you."

Ye Mu lowered his eyelids slightly, appearing preoccupied, "In the future, we should avoid it in public places."

For some reason, the phone call with Yan Chen that day always made him a little uneasy.

"excuse me."

Just as he was talking, suddenly a college student girl approached Chen Mo.

Chen Mo showed no expression, and looked at her indifferently, pursing his lips in silence.

He was wearing a thin coat, with a slender and vigorous figure, and his handsome and fair face was lined with a cold and stern temperament, which made people look a little stranger.

The girl saw that he was very gentle when he talked to the people next to him, but she didn't expect to give her a frozen face now, so she couldn't help feeling a little regretful, but she still mustered up her courage and said, "Yes, can you give me your phone number? .”

The more she spoke, the lower her voice became, until she was as small as a mosquito, she lowered her head and no longer dared to look at Chen Mo.

There's no way, it's because this man is so handsome, she really wants him to give him a chance to get to know him.

Ye Mu coughed, turned his face and looked away, as if he had nothing to do with himself.

Chen Mo squinted his eyes and looked down at the girl in front of him, and fell silent there.

The girl was so uneasy, she stood there at a loss, "I don't mean anything, I just want to ask if you are single."

Chen Mo stood there straight, with a blank face and still did not return.

The girl was embarrassed, and after wiping her hot cheeks, she wanted to get out of the way, and moved uneasily.

Chen Mo suddenly spoke up, and replied in a low voice, "I'm sorry, I have a boyfriend."

An understatement, but the wording is very powerful.

The girl was shocked when she heard this, and she stood there motionless like a bolt from the blue. It took a long time before she said in a trembling voice: "You, you are gay."

Chen Mo looked at her without hesitation, and slid his Adam's apple, "Yes."

The girl froze, looked at him with surprised eyes, and didn't say anything more.

Chen Mo lowered his eyelids and stared at her. The scene now is somewhat similar to that of Song Jia last time, but the difference is that this time he is stating a fact, frankly admitting that he likes a man, and his mood is a bit subtle.

The girl couldn't believe it, but she stayed there, and the atmosphere was awkward for a while.

"I'm sorry, we still have something to do, so let's go first." The companion next to the girl couldn't stand it anymore, and suddenly came out and dragged her away.

Ye Mu stared at Chen Mo with an indescribable awkwardness in his eyes and said nothing.

Chen Mo took a deep breath, turned to look at him, twitched the corners of his lips, pretending not to care, "That's all."

Ye Mu looked back at him, keenly caught the unspeakable embarrassment in his eyes, took the basket in his hand and walked to the cashier, "This order is enough, go back after paying the bill."

He has also experienced it, of course he knows this feeling, but he doesn't want to say it.

Chen Mo frowned almost invisibly, and followed.

Because of the weekend, the supermarket has a lot of customers, and there are quite a lot of people queuing up to check out.

When Ye Mu went, he was in line at the tail of the long dragon.

Standing behind him, Chen Mo said solemnly, "Ye Mu, how did you get used to it in the first place?"

Ye Mu's dark eyes looked ahead, "It's nothing, from hesitation to habit to numbness."

Chen Mo looked down at the outline of his deep face, narrowed his eyes and said, "Give me some time."

Ye Mu curled his lower lip expressionlessly, "Don't worry about it, the big deal is that we will each hide it from now on and reduce contact outside, no one will know our relationship."

Chen Mo's lips tightened, and he said tensely, "Isn't it uncomfortable to be so sneaky?"

Ye Mu turned his eyes away from him, "It's good that we know some things in our hearts, and keeping it secret is also a kind of protection for you."

Chen Mo frowned, with a sincere expression, "No, I can't overcome such basic trivial matters, I'm afraid I will look down on myself."

Ye Mu lowered his eyes and watched the basket not moving, feeling a little surprised, "Then don't force yourself, just take your time, we have plenty of time."

Chen Mo was silent for a while with deep eyes, then slowly walked over to stand shoulder to shoulder with him.

Ye Mu looked at him sideways, but didn't speak.

Chen Mo swallowed, and the skin of Bai Yuwuxia's neck was a little tense. He stood for a long time looking ahead, and took his hand silently.

Ye Mu was slightly stunned. At that moment, his heart beat violently.

It was obviously a simple action between lovers, but it made his scalp tingle, and even his toes curled up nervously.

Chen Mo's long eyelashes were calm, and there was firmness in his long and narrow eyes. He didn't say anything, but he proved his attitude with practical actions.

Ye Mu bit his lip, glanced at the busy people around him from the corner of his eye, and then looked at Chen Mojunyi's profile, struggling in his heart, but decided to withdraw his hand, "Don't do that."

Chen Mo held onto his hand tightly, his eyes were as deep as the ocean, "Ye Mu, there are some things, I hope we can face them through."

Ye Mu frowned, "You are asking for trouble for yourself."

Chen Mo pursed his lips, his face with sharp edges and corners was now calm, and his voice was magnetic, "Just treat it as looking for trouble, I want to spend the rest of my life with you, so I want to get over everything in a down-to-earth manner, not Just choose to dodge."

Ye Mu fell silent, with a slight unease on his ascetic face, "I never thought you would say this, it doesn't look like you."

Chen Mo chuckled, his eyelashes were thick and long, "I also think that it is possible that I have become a little more mature recently."

Ye Mu glanced at him lightly, his eyes filled with horror-like emotion, and his thin lips parted slightly after thinking for a while, "Some aspects are still quite naive, such as those fake roses."

Chen Mo narrowed his eyes and looked at him, "Do you know what the flower language of those twenty roses is?"

Ye Mu asked, "What?"

Chen Mo held his hand tightly, pondered for a while, and rolled his Adam's apple, "This life will never change."

Ye Mu turned his head to the side, with disgust on his face, and complained: "It's so hypocritical."

Having said that, his slender fingers silently held Chen Mo back.

Chen Mo hooked his lips, the curve around his mouth was not the same as before, revealing some rare softness.

Looking at the past from the back, the backs of the two matched so well, and they seemed to be filled with incomparable warmth and tenderness, which made people look a little envious.

"Click"

There was an abrupt sound.

In a remote corner, a strange camera sounded, and this scene was photographed without anyone noticing.
