No.70 days

Shao Wu pushed Chen Yimang away and used some strength: "Forget it."

Chen Yimang simply said: "Forget it." His tone was calm and his eyes were clear, as if everything just now was just a dream.

Shao Wu was holding the ice cream in a daze, but Chen Yimang had already stood up, took off his T-shirt without shame, and complained: "I just wore it today, and I have to wash it again."

Then he went straight into the bathroom.

Within a few minutes, he came out again, wearing only a pair of baggy shorts and flip-flopping slippers: "You want to take a shower too?"

Chen Yimang's skin is fair, and his naked upper body is so white that it shines even brighter. The two have just kissed, although they seem to have no feelings for each other... But Shao Wu still turned his face away in embarrassment: "Well, okay ……but……"

"I don't have any new underwear at home," Chen Yimang said, "Lend me a pair of shorts, wear them naked."

Shao Wu: "..."

When Shao Wu came out of the shower, Chen Yimang was already lying on the sofa with his legs crossed, in a daze.The TV was on, but the sound was very low, as if it was just a foil.

Shao Wu walked over to him and asked, "Don't you blow your hair?"

"Huh?" Chen Yimang smiled, "You're quite delicate."

"No, I don't usually blow it, but you... have such long hair, you'll catch a cold if you sleep with it wet."

"I'm too lazy to blow it up, it's too long, and it takes me a long time to mess around."

"I'll help you."

Chen Yimang raised his eyebrows: "Okay, the hair dryer is in the TV cabinet, you can bring it here."

Shao Wu went to get the hair dryer, Chen Yimang sat up, and Shao Wu stood behind him to blow dry his hair.Chen Yimang's hair was very thin, but a little rough, Shao Wu blew it, and heard Chen Yimang ask, "Does it fall a lot?"

"fine……"

"It's the second time I've dyed it this year," Chen Yimang sighed, "Every time I dye it, it falls out badly."

Shao Wu picked up a lock of his hair, and the hair dryer was far away, blowing the roots of his hair.

"Don't dye it if it falls off badly."

"That's not good, the old man likes this color recently, he's sick."

Shao Wu: "..."

It seems that Du Si and the others said that the rumors are true.

"Oh, don't worry," Chen Yimang said flatly, "I'm not sick, I'm very healthy."

"I did not mean that."

"Well, did it scare you?"

"No... a little."

"Aren't you—"

Chen Yimang's words were interrupted by a knock on the door. He got up, grabbed the wallet on the coffee table, and opened the door.

It was a middle-aged man with an apron around his waist and a plastic bag in his hand: "It's supper again."

Chen Yimang took the plastic bag, took out a 100 yuan note from his wallet, and handed it to him: "Don't look for it, save the rest."

"Okay," the man said.

After closing the door, Chen Yimang greeted Shao Wu: "Stop bragging, come and have a barbecue."

He pulled out a glass fruit plate from the kitchen and put the sizzling barbecue into it, and the spicy aroma instantly filled the room.Shao Wu grabbed the grilled squid and saw Chen Yimang nibbling on a black hair tie and quickly tied up his hair. Then he sat down opposite Shao Wu, grabbed the grilled squid and took a big bite.

Chen Yimang ate barbecue with his legs spread out, and the half-wet hair was still dripping, but he didn't care.Shao Wu suddenly felt that Chen Yimang was actually just an ordinary boy.

After Chen Yimang finished eating a bunch of grilled squid, his lips were red from the heat, he held up the roast beef and said to Shao Wu, "I just wanted to apologize to you."

Shao Wu: "Huh?"

"Scared you, didn't you?" Chen Yimang lowered his eyes, "You shouldn't have told me to 'try', people like me... are not on the same side as you."

Shao Wu quickly shook his head: "Don't say that."

"I'm telling the truth, me, anyway, that's the way it is." Chen Yimang took a bite of the beef, then stuck out his tongue, "It's so spicy——Shao ​​Wu, you really look like my brother."

"Your brother?"

"Well, I'm three years younger than me. At that time, my mother brought the two of us to Chongqing. Later... Later, I played with a boyfriend, and she found out, and she kicked me out."

Chen Yimang spoke calmly, but Shao Wu's heart shrank suddenly: "Then, how old were you at that time?"

"Second day of junior high school," Chen Yimang took another bite of beef, his voice was a bit vague, "Actually, it's not my mother's fault. She had no money at that time, and she brought us two oil bottles, so she couldn't even remarry. After she came out, she took my younger brother and got married not long after."

Shao Wu was silent for a moment, then asked softly, "Then what happened after that?"

"Later, I met the old man—he was a boss who hired me to study for me."

"How did he treat you...?"

"It's okay," Chen Yimang smiled, with a very casual tone, "Anyway, it's like doing business. I'll sleep with him, and he'll give me money. Apart from being older, he's fine."

Shao Wu nodded, indicating that he understood.

He simply felt a little ridiculous: he was sitting in such a spacious living room, with the air conditioner blowing on, eating barbecue, and listening to Chen Yimang's unsalty talk—about those things.To him, those things seemed to happen in another world, but suddenly they were so close to him, so close at hand.He wondered, were people like them—gays—as they should be?

The two chatted while eating, from Chen Yimang's life in Chongqing to his hometown, which turned out to be in Zhong County.Shao Wu had heard of Zhong County, where migrant workers were popular, and many migrant workers came from Zhong County.

Chen Yimang ordered too much barbecue and couldn't finish it, so he had to put it in the refrigerator.The refrigerator in his house has a double door with a large capacity, but unfortunately it is empty, except for the barbecue that was just put in, there are only a few cans of beer.

Chen Yimang took out two cans and handed Shaowu one.It was late at night, and there was light rain in the sky. They turned off the lights, and watched the raindrops fall on the balcony through a glass door, which drenched the pots of aloe vera.Chen Yimang said to himself: "It's raining at night in Bashan." Shao Wu looked at him, and he smiled and explained: "When I was in high school, I liked Chinese the most, oh, actually my name is also myself It was taken, at that time, our Chinese teacher was very handsome...he liked Su Shi the most, and he talked about "Red Cliff Fu" for three full days."

The beer was a bit bitter and cold, Shao Wu took a sip and asked, "And then?"

"And then I graduated."

"..."

"What about you?" Chen Yimang leaned on the sofa, crossing his legs casually, "What do you think, your straight guy is already playing with your friends, so you can't waste yourself doing this, right?"

Shao Wu looked at the fine raindrops on the balcony: "I don't know...my parents want me to go abroad for graduate studies, I don't want to go."

"How wonderful it is to go abroad. I heard them say that gays in the United States dare to kiss on the street. I don't know if it's true or not."

"I told my parents that I want to go to graduate school in China, and my grades should be guaranteed..."

"Baoyan?"

"It's recommended to go to graduate school without taking the exam." Shao Wu took another sip of beer, "The main thing is to see the score ranking, the top five in the grade is basically stable, and you can't fail subjects, and you can't violate school rules and grades... These are all easy to say. "

Chen Yimang said "tsk": "As expected, he scored 631 in the college entrance examination. Then, stay in China to study for graduate school, and continue to follow him? He got married the next day, and you still go to attend the ceremony?"

Shao Wu closed his eyes: "I don't know."

Chen Yimang sighed softly, "It's not stupid."

Later, the two chatted about other things, and after chatting, they both fell asleep.The next morning, when Shao Wu woke up, Chen Yimang had already gone out, leaving a note on the table: The old man asked me to go out with him to play, close the window for me when you leave, and contact me later.

Shao Wu changed into yesterday's clothes, tidied up the room briefly, went to Bandong Noodle Shop to eat a bowl of small noodles, and took a taxi back to school.

The ground was already dry, and there was no trace of the rain from last night. It was not very hot in the morning. Shao Wu sat in a taxi, rolled down the window, and let the morning breeze gently lift the broken hair on his forehead.

He belatedly remembered that his 20th birthday just passed away.
