Adam stood under the tree, looking up at the orange window.

He stood where he was for so long that Adam could barely feel the soles of his feet due to the chill coming from the soles of his shoes.He jumped in place, moving his limbs.He walked along the street for a while, did not go far, and turned back after 15 meters. He walked forward ten meters before turning back.

The lights of the restaurant had just gone out, and after the door slammed, Adam knew that the chef who locked the door at night had also gone home.The street was dark and silent now, and Adam was walking boredly along the street alone.

Pizza Hut's pizza delivery brother passed by on his motorcycle again, this time he turned his head towards Adam, as if he was a little surprised that Adam was still here.Adam forced a smile at him and walked over to the bus stop, pretending his bus was late and walking up and down to beat the cold.

Adam glanced at the window again, the light was still on.

It's crazy, standing in front of someone's door waiting for someone just to see them - it's so stupid, Adam didn't even do such a stupid thing when he was in school.Adam scratched his hair, consciously caught in a dilemma, he was not willing to leave like this, but he couldn't stand here until dawn, he might be frozen to death.Adam's hot-headed impulsiveness was blown away by the cold winter wind half an hour ago.

The phone rang, suddenly cutting through the silent night.Adam frantically took out the phone from his trouser pocket and pressed the ring tone.He didn't think it was enough, so he switched his phone to do not disturb mode.He walked quickly to the back of the bus stop and watched Carla's name flash until the screen dimmed.

Adam took another look at the window, which was quietly closed, and no one opened the window to check.He let out a long breath, and Carla's name lit up again, this time in a text message: "Adam, answer me, you've been out of your mind all night, three pieces of steak were fried, what happened? I'm worried .”

It's nothing, Adam rolled his eyes, but he made up his mind after having sex dreams for several nights in a row, and when he was thinking about how to confess to the person of sex dreams, he found that things were backfired.

Kara, I have a question for you: When you have a crush on someone and you know they are single, what makes you insist on keeping a distance from the other person?

Because you're not single, Bingo, that's right.He wanted to just reply to Kara, but he couldn't.He couldn't help but reply.If he doesn't reply to Kara, Kara will keep harassing him with text messages.Adam pressed a line: "I just want to ask a question, don't worry. I'm not alone." Kara seemed relieved and stopped replying to him.

This matter will start in the afternoon.Adam was still dawdling in the experimental kitchen, trying to figure out how to tell Hong Rui that he wanted to apologize to Hong Rui for his previous panic and hesitation.Hongrui rescued him from the predicament, and he returned with a suspicious and evasive attitude. Even Ting Nuo felt that he didn't know what was good and what was wrong. He shouldn't doubt Hongrui's character.

Adam also wants to apologize for his own sluggishness, he should have discovered his feelings for Hong Rui long ago, ordinary people don't sleep only 5 hours a day for a long time, work two jobs, stay here until midnight just to meet their idols upper side.Ordinary people really don't spend a few hours on their rare and precious days off, cooking a pot of meat sauce for their idols, and cooking noodles for each other in the refrigerator.No matter how much you worship and respect a person, you really won't let him touch you and reminisce about it in your dreams later.

Even though Hong Rui asserted that there would be no relationship between them other than work, Adam felt that it was just Hong Rui's words to reassure Adam.He wanted to beg Hongrui to give him a chance to make up for the time he missed.

Today is Sunday, the last working day, which means they are all off tomorrow.Adam wanted to ask Hong Rui if he wanted to have lunch together tomorrow, and then watch a movie, or they could go to other places in London. Maybe Hong Rui would be interested in the exhibits of Tate Modern, Adam found out That was exhibiting original drawings of contemporary outstanding architectural designs.

Adam nervously organized words in his mind, but saw that Tinno had already started cleaning the kitchen.

"What's wrong?" Adam looked at his watch, it was only past 3 o'clock.He looked around, Hong Rui was not here.

"Hong Rui asked us to get off work early today. We can leave after packing up. I'm going to have dinner with my sister later. What about you? What are you doing?"

Ting Nuo quickly cleaned up the kitchen, and Jane filed the experiment records.Adam dillydally did his part.After packing everything, Ting Nuo waited for Adam to leave together.Adam said that he still wanted to read a book for a while and leave at 5 o'clock.A very strange expression flashed on Ting Nuo's face, and he lowered his voice and said, "Adam, Hong Rui has visitors. He probably doesn't want anyone here, after all, this room is his private kitchen."

Maybe because he realized his feelings for Hong Rui, Adam became very sensitive, and he blurted out without thinking: "Is he dating at home?"

"En." Ting Nuo nodded, and Ting Nuo saw that Adam's expression was not right, and asked aloud, "What's wrong with you?"

"I, I didn't expect him to have a partner." Adam said, trying to be calm, did Ting Nuo know?How much does he know?

"What's so strange about this?" Ting Nuo smiled, "The last time Hong Rui was drunk, I called his friend first, but they didn't get through, so I had to ask you to send him back."

Ting Nuo knew that person, so had Ting Nuo seen him?What kind of person is it?What kind of person will Hong Rui be with?And how would he spend the evening with his date?Will he cook himself?What kind of food will he cook?It's too late, he'll be with his date tomorrow, and Adam will never ask what he hasn't asked.

Adam felt a pain in his heart.

Adam no longer remembers how he walked out of Alimentum, and how he spent a whole night cooking dishes in a designated restaurant in a daze.All he could think about all night was: He has a partner, what kind of person is his partner?What kind of talent is worthy of Hongrui?

The thought tormented him.After closing the store, Adam hurried to the main entrance of Alimentum. The inconspicuous little door next to the black door is the door of Hong Rui's house. Alimentum's staff access and back entrance are on the other street around the corner of this street.They couldn't see here, and Adam didn't have to worry about being recognized by the night shift staff.

The dim lights were on, which meant they were not asleep yet.

Adam looked at the light and kept thinking about that person, whether he was fat or thin, tall or short, gentle or impatient. He felt that he had to go and see for himself to make sure that person was thousands of times better than him before he could Willing to give up.

The sound of the motorcycle approached from far away, and the guy who delivered the pizza came back again.Adam hurriedly hid behind the tree, he didn't know if the little brother saw him.

The motorcycle was turned off and stopped. Adam poked his head out from behind the tree and looked towards the street.The delivery boy took a large cardboard box from the back seat, walked towards Hongrui's door, and knocked on the door.

The lights on the first floor came on, and the door opened.A man appeared in front of Hong Rui's door.He took the pizza and said cheerfully, "It arrived so quickly! Thank you so much!"

That was not Hong Rui's voice.

The man was standing against the light, and Adam couldn't see his face clearly.Adam couldn't help but want to get closer to see more clearly.The man seemed to have slipped a banknote into the delivery boy's hand.The delivery boy spoke softly to the man, then pointed in Adam's direction, and gestured for a phone call.

Adam hurriedly hid behind the tree again, and glanced over very carefully.It was so dark that he might not be able to see Adam.

The man shook his head at the little brother, still holding the pizza in his hand.He walked out of the house and said in Adam's direction: "Good evening, do you need help?"

For a moment Adam wanted to hide in the shadows.But that's who Adam was waiting for in the winter night.He had all the answers Adam wanted to know.And he was looking at Adam's hiding place.

Adam stomped his feet vigorously. He came out from behind the tree and walked towards the man with his head held high.

The man stood still and watched Adam stride forward.He was wearing a black bathrobe, his calf was bare, and he was standing on the ground barefoot.Adam saw his attire clearly from a distance, and felt an overwhelming sadness in his heart.As he got closer, he could see the light reflecting off the man's damp hair, as if he had just finished a shower.Adam gritted his teeth again before he was able to move on.He wanted to see what kind of person he was.This force supported him to get closer and closer.

That man was not young, but he was not older than Hong Rui either. He and Hong Rui looked about the same age.But this man is obviously more friendly than Hongrui and loves to smile. There is a smile on the corner of his mouth, and he looks at Adam with a playful look in his eyes.The man had brown hair and a pair of brown eyes glowing warmly under the light. This realization made Adam's heart twitch again, and he remembered the eye on Hongrui's phone.Adam thought that Hongrui must like him very much, much more than the little affection he had for Adam.

Adam couldn't see his occupation, but he didn't look like a chef, who would suffer from bending over his work for a long time.Hong Rui stood very straight, and this person's standing posture was even taller than Hong Rui's, and he had a calm aura wherever he stood.He is also very used to other people's eyes, and he doesn't feel uncomfortable being looked at by others.

Adam blocked the delivery boy behind him, turned his head to look into the room and asked, "Are you Hongya's boyfriend?"

"Oh." The man reacted quickly, and he understood it at a glance.He didn't answer right away, but changed his scrutiny eyes and looked Adam up and down with a smile.

The food delivery boy at the back also saw that this was a scene of jealousy over the girls, he said sarcastically that it was so, thank you for the tip, and then hurriedly started the motorcycle and drove away.

Adam didn't have time to pay attention to him, and focused on the man in front of him, trying his best to search for information.

"Please come in and talk." The man turned sideways with a smile, Adam bit the bullet and stepped into the door.That man was a little shorter than Adam and even Hong Rui. When he lowered his head to close the door, Adam accidentally saw the back of his neck - there was a fresh tooth mark there.The texture is delicate and the tooth marks are clear. Adam can almost imagine the strength of the teeth when they occluded. It is a mark of a unique moment, and it is a proof for Hongrui... Vivid images and sounds suddenly broke into Adam's mind. The scene of engraving tooth marks is ready to come out.

It was too cold outside, and Adam's whole body froze from standing for too long.The heat in the room suddenly entangled, causing Adam to burst into a thin layer of sweat.Adam's face and ears were completely red, he hurriedly stopped his wild thoughts and concentrated on facing this man.

Even though all the information in front of him showed the identity of the other party, he still wanted an answer, and as long as he had an answer, he could give up and leave.

Adam bit his lower lip vigorously, and asked again: "Are you Dr. Dukas' boyfriend?"

Different from Adam's eagerness, the man closed the door and stuffed the pizza box into Adam's hand, treating Adam as a human table.He opened the pizza box, took out a piece of pizza, took a big bite and said, "Never mind, I'm so hungry, I haven't eaten much in the afternoon. I'm not in a good mood when I'm hungry. Do you want some?"

Adam shook his head.Adam sniffled, and was again attracted by the cheese pizza in his hand.It was a thick-crust pizza baked in golden brown and crispy, rich in milk and sprinkled with black pepper.The movement of the man tearing open the pizza pulled out thousands of fine threads.Adam lowered his head and stared at the pizza in his hands as if it was a villain who robbed love, and said in a muffled voice, "You ordered cheese pizza, he doesn't eat cheese..."

"Really?" The man nodded vaguely, indifferently.He quickly chewed the food in his mouth before saying: "No wonder he doesn't touch this very much, but I like this taste very much."

Adam now stares at the man instead, disapproving.

He ate and tore, stuffing his mouth with torn pieces of pizza, but he didn't look rude at all; he chewed quickly, but he didn't look embarrassed at all, he was obviously used to eating like this.

The man took another piece of pizza from Adam, looked at Adam seriously and said, "No, I'm not Hong Rui's boyfriend."

what is that?Fiance, partner?With Adam's heart in his throat, the man bit off half of the pizza, tore open the remaining pizza in his hand again, and repeated the previous action.Adam could only wait patiently for him to finish eating.

"Lu Di, why are you standing at the door eating pizza?" Adam suddenly heard Hong Rui's voice, and he woke up: This is Hong Rui's house, not the man's house in front of him, of course Hong Rui will be here.Adam turned his head and saw Hong Rui standing firmly at the stairs, looking at the two of them in surprise, "Adam?"

Hong Rui's eyes stopped on the pizza box Adam was holding, and he frowned: "You still found a part-time job at Pizza Hut?"

Hong Rui was wearing an identical black bathrobe, her hair was wet, and her calves and soles were bare.Adam didn't dare to think about what else he was wearing.He didn't wear glasses and looked very strange, but he could see Adam clearly.

Hong Rui came over and fastened Lu Di's collar to cover the tooth marks that Adam saw earlier.Adam tried to keep his eyes away from Rudy's neck, pretending not to notice anything.

"It's not like this, Dr. Dukas." Knowing that he looked like a stalker now, Adam hurriedly explained: "I heard you have a date today, I woke up too late, I know we can't, but I I want to see what kind of person you like before you give up. I, I'm sorry to disturb you...I didn't mean to..."

Hong Rui frowned into the word Chuan, and Adam realized that this explanation was of no help to his current situation, so he bit his lower lip and stopped talking.He hangs his head in shame, staring at the floor as if trying to imitate Superman's laser vision and dig a hole in the ground to bury himself in.

Lu Di quickly chewed the food in his mouth like a hamster, his eyes turned back and forth on the faces of the two people with different expressions, he finally swallowed the last piece of food on his hand, took out a tissue and slowly wiped his fingers clean.

Lu Di climbed onto Adam's shoulder with one hand, and said affectionately next to Adam: "I repeat, I am not Hong Rui's boyfriend. Hong Rui and I are innocent friends with sex, please don't misunderstand. Boy Adam, you know What is a buddy with benefits?"
