Listen

At 08:30 in the morning of the next day, Chen Ting woke up and couldn't think of it, but couldn't fall asleep anyway.He tossed and turned, and finally sent a message to Pei Yiyao.

East Lake Crab King: You said you were coming to pick me up last night, what are you doing?

Pei Yiyao: Go on a date.

East Lake Crab King:? !

Pei Yiyao: Gao Duo lost, and I agree to give you a day off with salary.

East Lake Crab King: ...

Wait, the point is not the salary, is it?Chen Ting thought over Pei Yiyao's words over and over again, making sure that he didn't seem to have promised him to go on a date.

East Lake Crab King: I haven't promised you yet!

Pei Yiyao: You promised me to pursue you.

Pei Yiyao's words can always make Chen Ting speechless, Chen Ting doesn't know how to tell him that "dating" is something that can only be done after catching up with him.No, or is it that the suitor just wants to accumulate goodwill through dating again and again?

Chen Ting confused himself.

Pei Yiyao: I'll be waiting for you downstairs at ten o'clock.

Brother Cool's decision caught people off guard. Chen Ting subconsciously wanted to reply and refuse, but thinking of the inexplicable misunderstanding last night, he felt that he should make up for the other party.

Right, this is the most basic courtesy of being a human being, right?

Chen Ting questioned himself, deceived himself and deceived others, struggled for half an hour, and finally resigned to his fate to get up and take a shower.

Yang Shulin squinted his sleepy eyes and leaned out from the bed: "I heard you are so early today?"

"Yeah." Chen Ting replied vaguely, opened the closet and stared at the half-closet of sweaters and jeans in a daze.It's the beginning of December, and the weather is getting colder, so Chen Ting bought another sweater with fleece.

It's not that he hasn't tried to take the mature and handsome route, but all of them have failed.He also has a denim jacket with streamers on the sleeves and zipper, which is the trendiest of all his clothes.

But is it a bit too deliberate to wear this?

Thinking of this, Chen Ting turned his attention to the pink sweater hanging on the inside. He remembered that Pei Yiyao liked pink.Which one should I wear?

No no no no, why is he picking clothes here!

"Hey, listen, you're finally enlightened?" Yang Shulin's surprised voice came from behind.

"What?" Chen Ting was startled.

"Get dressed up." Yang Shulin blinked innocently: "You have such a good foundation, why don't you match it well to win glory for our straight men? Don't you know that the Internet keeps complaining about our straight men's aesthetics?"

"Oh."

Yang Shulin became interested, "Come on, I'll make it for you. Just wear this denim jacket. It's fleece inside. You can wear it with a T-shirt. Show your ankles. It's not too cold today." For shoes, you can wear those white sneakers, oh yes, I have a hat here..."

After all, Yang Shulin really brought Chen Ting a fisherman's hat that is very popular this year.The brim of the black hat was dotted with a golden brooch, and it worked surprisingly well on Chen Ting's curly hair.

"Tsk tsk, look at us and listen, this is like a star."

Chen Ting also thinks this is good, because he still has the basic aesthetics.But a sudden change of outfit would mean a "special treatment," and if he went out in it, it would feel like it was specially prepared for a date.

Yang Shulin suddenly felt blessed: "Who are you going out with?"

Chen Ting: "...Pei Yiyao."

Yang Shulin looked him up and down again, and inexplicably came up with some not very pure jokes in his mind, saying, "You should buy a leather jacket, the one with tassels and rivets, it's cool and trendy, and wear a wide-brimmed hat, Brother Cool is not as cool as you."

Chen Ting: "..."

Yang Shulin: "Let me tell you, you should bleach your hair. I think you should be blue or pink. Granny gray is also fine. You can add a little gray to any popular color now, that's right."

Yang Shulin is usually very confident in his own aesthetics. As a senior member of the Appearance Association, the only thing he is dissatisfied with is his face.

It's a pity that Chen Ting is not enlightened, otherwise Zhou Cheng's reputation as a school grassroots would have nothing to do with him.

"Yes yes yes, I would like to follow Lord Saint Laurent's instruction." It was not the first time Chen Ting was read by him, and he was used to it.In order to shut Yang Shulin's mouth, he finally put on that coat. As for the hat, he was really not used to wearing it.

It was only a quarter past nine when he went out. Chen Ting reckoned that Pei Yiyao hadn't come yet, so he planned to wait at the door for a while. Unexpectedly, as soon as he went out, he saw Pei Yiyao standing under the big tree opposite the dormitory.

Pei Yiyao has actually been here for about ten minutes.

The idea of ​​dating was brought up by Xu Yiming, who said that a few more dates would give people the illusion that "we are in a relationship", but Pei Yiyao had no idea about it.

He is not good at anything other than scientific logic, such as falling in love.In his opinion, there is no formula or standard process at all, it is pure metaphysics, full of unknowns and uncertainties.

Yiming Yogurt: Let me tell you Brother Yao, you must arrive early!Go half an hour early!Waiting for half an hour in the howling cold wind is not far from success!

Pei Yiyao: Are you stupid?

Yiming Yogurt: This is a strategy, a strategy!Remember not to forget to pose, even if you are blown by the wind, you must be handsome!Keep your handsome, I believe you can do it Brother Yao!

Pei Yiyao: Stupid.

That being said, Pei Yiyao arrived about half an hour early.Although he feels that no matter what appointment he should arrive on time, being early or late is a waste of time.

In addition, today's wind is a bit strong.

Chen Ting ran up to Pei Yiyao, looked at his still cold face, for some reason, felt that he seemed a little more handsome today than yesterday.

Is it a psychological effect?Chen Ting was suspicious.

The two walked outside the school together, and Chen Ting was still observing what was different about Pei Yiyao from usual. It wasn't until he got on the subway that he suddenly realized that Pei Yiyao was not wearing a windbreaker today.

He was wearing a black leather jacket, and he was handsome to another level.Yang Shulin was wrong, even if Chen Ting wore a tassel jacket today, he couldn't be cooler than Pei Yiyao.

Today is the weekend, and there are a lot of people on the subway.

Pei Yiyao held on to the ring and protected Chen Ting in front of him. Feeling the eyes of the surroundings falling on them one after another, he silently stood to the side, blocking most of Chen Ting's body.

Chen Ting was well protected, but Pei Yiyao was too close to him, so close that as long as he leaned forward, he could throw himself into his arms.What the two of them said seemed to be extremely intimate whispers.

However, although this feeling of being protected by others made people feel a little uncomfortable and awkward, Chen Ting felt somewhat benefited from it.

He pretended to be expressionless, but he kept observing.

Pei Yiyao didn't intentionally have physical contact with him, but whether he was in the car or when he got off the car, he always consciously protected Chen Ting.

He will deliberately slow down to accommodate Chen Ting's speed.

He seemed to be walking beside him with a cold face, but in fact he was holding onto the ribbon on Chen Ting's denim jacket all the time.

Being moved, Chen Ting suddenly wanted to interview him why he had to pay five yuan for a bottle of mineral water.

The two kept a close distance and were closely connected by a streamer on their clothes.Chen Ting swore that he would never wear this dress again, and even wished to hand it over directly.

You catch this!

What are you doing grabbing my streamer!

Walk the dog or herd the sheep!you say!

Chen Ting could even hear the chuckling of the passing girls, and her ears turned red with anger.

Pei Yiyao held on to the streamer by himself, because he felt that it was outside, and Chen Ting would definitely not want him to hold hands.But there were so many people in the station, he had to be led to feel at ease.

"What's wrong?" Pei Yiyao finally noticed something strange in his expression.

Chen Ting didn't speak, but shook his arm, and the streamer led Pei Yiyao to shake his hand too.Pei Yiyao understood, let go of his hand, and said, "There were a lot of people just now."

"You can't catch it next time."

"Oh."

Let's hold hands next time, Pei Yiyao thought.

There will be no next time, Chen Ting was also thinking.

The two had their own thoughts, and when they arrived in the city center, eating and watching movies were still the same old routine.But this was Chen Ting's first real date with Pei Yiyao, so there was a touch of novelty in this cliché.

After a long time, he found that he knew a brand new Pei Yiyao.

For example, he is afraid of bugs, and he can't even take a second look at the colorful caterpillar dolls in the claw machine.

Another example is that he actually knows how to play the piano, but he never said it.

In the middle of the ground floor of the mall was a clearing with a black Steinway.When Chen Ting and Pei Yiyao walked by, it happened that a handsome young man in a tuxedo was playing the piano, surrounded by many people.

Chen Ting couldn't help but stop and take a few more glances. His gaze swept over the man's slender and nimble fingers, feeling envious in his heart.

Pei Yiyao commented coldly: "So-so."

"I think it's pretty good." Chen Ting seriously defended him, this is a shopping mall, not a concert hall, just the fact that a handsome guy plays the piano is enough to make people happy.

"If you want to hear it, I'll play it for you next time." Pei Yiyao said.

After hearing this, Chen realized that he was jealous, touched his nose, and neither nodded nor refused.Amid the melodious sound of the piano, the two stood far away from the crowd and stopped to listen. Before they knew it, their slightly impetuous hearts seemed to calm down.

"Do you like playing drums?" Pei Yiyao asked suddenly.

"Like it." Chen Ting tilted his head and thought about it carefully. If he had to say it, he would like it.But Pei Yiyao tasted the overtones of the modal particle at the end of the sentence, he liked it, didn't he like it, there seemed to be a kind of uncertainty in it.

He didn't know whether to ask, so Chen Ting took the initiative to say: "My father taught me that, so I don't know any musical instruments except drums."

"Your dad likes music?"

"Who knows, he hasn't played as well as me."

After finishing speaking, Chen Ting turned around and left, as if he didn't want to say more.

Pei Yiyao strode to keep up, keeping his eyes on Chen Ting's little curly hair, raised his hand and rubbed it soothingly.Chen Ting was rubbed by him like this, half of his body fell on him, and he couldn't help being annoyed: "What are you doing again?"

Pei Yiyao: "Don't be unhappy."

Chen Ting frowned: "I'm not unhappy."

Unexpectedly, Pei Yiyao suddenly leaned over and looked at him intently, as if trying to judge whether he was lying or not.Chen Ting's cheeks became hot when he saw him, so he glared at him, turned his head and left.

This guy really doesn't care about the occasion.

But Pei Yiyao had the advantage of having long legs, so he caught up with him in a few steps, grabbed his hand and forcefully brought him by his side, saying, "Don't stay too far away from me."

"You might as well tie my trouser belt up."

"it is good."

"I'm just kidding!"

"I was joking too."

Pei Yiyao gave a rare smile, probably because he was so serious in his daily life, so that the corners of his lips were slightly raised, and the slight rippling of his eyes made Chen Ting dumbfounded.

What's more, when Pei Yiyao raised his hand to rub his head again, he didn't resist at all.
