Fix fixed point

[Adam: Hong Rui, what is your plan for rest today? ]

[Adam: The soles of your plain leather shoes are a little cracked, do you want to take advantage of the discount to buy a pair of shoes after the festival? ]

[Adam: What's your shoe size, I think these look great. ]

[Adam: I miss you, Hong Rui. ]

Hong Rui stood at the corner of the shopping mall, staring at Adam standing next to the shoe cabinet from a distance, separated by a crowd that was more than goods on the shelves.When someone squeezed past him, he bumped his shoulder, and he didn't care about it.In the distance, Carla was holding Adam's arm, pointing to a pair of women's boots for him to see.

Adam was holding a few shopping bags in his other hand. The top bag was printed with MAC and tied with a pink bow. It was not Adam's belongings at first glance.

In fact, Hong Rui didn't want to come.His original plan was to go for a run outside after seeing Ting Nuo and Little Jane who came back from vacation, or go upstairs to practice boxing. Alimentum is about to open its doors, and these will be his last few days of leisure.He still had time to read the book he wanted to review again.Christmas sale purchases were not in his plans at all.

Hong Rui hates crowded places.He gets dizzy after prolonged exposure to bright lights and loud noises.He likes the atmosphere of secluded museums and art galleries, and he can bear it with difficulty if it is a popular exhibition.Not only was the smell turbid, but the environment was also noisy and chaotic during the post-Christmas purchases.It's a nightmare to be stuck in the middle of the shoulder-to-shoulder crowd.When the finances were tight in the early years, Hong Rui had to take advantage of the discount to buy some kitchen supplies, and he never went to the store again.

He thought he would never experience such a scene again.So when Adam texted him at first, he deliberately ignored Adam's text messages under the pretext of chatting with Ting Nuo.

Ting Nuo brought the girlfriend he brought home to meet Hong Rui, and while talking, he talked about Xiao Jian who was still single.Once you have a partner, you want to be a matchmaker to match your friends. This kind of dick does not discriminate between men and women.Ting Nuo enthusiastically wanted to introduce a boyfriend to Xiao Jian, and after mentioning a few names, Adam was named.

Tino thought that Jane didn't know who he was talking about, and added: "That Adam Buchan, he was still working here before Christmas. The young man looks good and has a good personality. I think you will like it." type."

Xiao Jian was taken aback, and looked at Hong Rui.Hong Rui remained silent, acting as if it had nothing to do with him.Just then Adam called and asked if he was free to shop.

Hong Rui answered the phone, raised his eyes to see Ting Nuo's curious eyes, agreed to Adam with a thought, and asked the name and address of the mall.

He hung up the phone and went back to his room to change clothes.Before they went downstairs to say goodbye, Ting Nuo was still persuading little Jane: "I have Adam's phone number. Why don't my girlfriend and I call you and Adam to have a foursome date...?"

He arrived for a while and found Adam and Kara without much trouble, standing together like the center of a light source.

Adam bent slightly to listen to Carla, with a smile on his lips.He looked at the clerk again and made a gesture, as if asking the clerk to bring the shoes.Carla found a vacant seat and sat down.Adam casually put the bag on the ground and sat next to her, shoulder to shoulder.

He turned his head and said something to Kara, his eyes glowed with honey under the light, and he looked happy and relaxed.

This is how Adam smiles, bringing sweetness and happiness to everyone who sees him, attracting the attention of people around him like a diamond.From Hong Rui's position, he could see other people scrutinizing Adam secretly, and finally looked away.Because everyone who saw Adam and Kara would feel that the two in front of them were young and perfectly matched.

This may be the life Adam should have had.Thinking of this, Hong Rui suddenly stopped walking towards Adam.If he didn't pay attention, he had already stayed in place for a while.

"Hongrui!" Adam looked in this direction.The corners of his mouth hooked up, revealing his white teeth in a smile.He left Kara and parted the crowd and trotted over.

"You're here!" The half-coquettish and half-joyful tone sprayed into Hong Rui's ears along with the wet breath, and the hot air came in from the gap between his neckline, waist and abdomen, wrapping him hot and tightly.Adam's nose was still rubbing against Hong Rui's neck, as if hugging a long-lost lover—and they had only met this morning.

He covered Adam's face, Adam's face was smooth, but he felt the small bloody gashes - the characteristics of youth.Adam's eyes were only bright from a distance.From such a close distance, it seemed as if the sun was rising in his eyes, and the golden light shone, making Hong Rui feel lazy all over.Hong Rui looked at Adam and smiled, and the earlier hesitation dissipated.

Adam pursed his lips, blinked his eyes, and looked at Hong Rui's jaw.Hong Rui laughed again, and leaned over to kiss Adam's mouth.Adam smelled of lemon and sun-soap, like a young leaf freshly picked from a bitter orange tree on the shores of Amalfi.

"Adam, you used my aftershave?" he asked.Adam didn't answer, but returned with a contented smile.Now they even smell alike.Adam took Hong Rui's arm sideways, and his fingers slid down to interlock with Hong Rui's.He held Hong Rui's hand and said excitedly, "I've seen several styles of shoes, and you will definitely like them. Let's go and see together later, shall we?"

Carla still sat where she was, looking at them coldly with her elbows folded.

Kara's reaction surprised Adam a bit.Hong Rui put his palms in his pockets and smiled at Kara: "Good afternoon, Kara."

"Didn't you say you don't mind?" Adam let go of Hong Rui's hand, took Cara aside and asked in a low voice, in exchange for Cara's huge white eyes.

This is not the first time Kara has seen Hongrui.When Hongrui invited Adam to go to France with him for New Year's Eve, Kara also followed.Their first meeting is less than friendly, with Kara being told on the plane that she's not a girlfriend but a boyfriend - and Adam keeps misleading Kara, much to her displeasure.Seeing that the boyfriend who picked up the plane was Hong Rui, Kara was furious.Kara almost pulled Adam on the next plane back.Fortunately, Piero was also there, helping Adam to appease Carla, and the New Year was a happy one.

Kara didn't like Hong Rui, and Hong Rui knew it at that time, but he didn't know where Kara's strong hostility towards him came from.But Kara won't be any tougher than Maxine.

They went to see the three pairs of shoes that Adam had chosen for him.

Hong Rui doesn’t have many shoes. Apart from the shoes he wears at work, he only has a pair of plain Oxford shoes for formal occasions—the shoes cracked after they got wet and didn’t have time to maintain them.He also has two pairs of training shoes, a pair of jogging shoes, and his current pair of quarter-carved monk shoes.

Adam's first pair of shoes was actually a pair of half-carved derbys—not something you could wear with a dress.Hongrui realized that young people's cognition of shoes is still superficial on the decoration, and they don't know anything about the upper.

So they walked around for several times, but the shoes failed to be bought, and instead became a lecture on men's shoes.Adam listened carefully: oxfords, derbys, monks, loafers, wings, crosspieces, saddles, Us, full engraving, half engraving, quarter engraving.Adam's favorite shoes contain all of the above variations, but without a pair of plain oxfords.

After they squeezed through the crowd for more than an hour, they found a pair of shoes again, and Adam knelt down to help Hong Rui tie the shoelaces.It was the closest pair of shoes they could find.But this is a pair of plain trapezoidal toe oxford shoes, he prefers a horizontal round toe.

"Do you like it?" Adam looked up at him and smiled, which made Hong Rui almost unable to say no.Adam saw his hesitation and asked, "What's different this time?"

"Toe." Hong Rui sighed, "Adam, looking from the side, you can see that the toe of the toe gradually becomes thinner, like a chisel. It should be a product of a popular movie."

"What kind of shoes do you want to buy?" Carla followed, and now she had no strength to sneer, "Those shoes all look exactly the same, only you can tell the difference."

"I want to buy a pair of the same shoes as before." Hong Rui said.

"Then the next time you see something you like, you'd better buy ten pairs or eight pairs at a time, so as to save you all these troubles." Adam pushed Kara, and Kara glared at Adam angrily, and said in a rough voice: "I I'm not wrong, who would want to buy the exact same style as the old shoes?" Hong Rui was suddenly a little unhappy.He suddenly realized that he was no longer alone, he had to take care not only of his own thoughts, but also of Adam and Kara's emotions.

And he was very unaccustomed to such a change, and regretted his decision to go shopping for a while.If he hadn't promised Adam, he should be sitting in the room reading a book now, instead of arguing with Kara in a crowded and noisy environment.

Neither Hong Rui nor Kara made a sound.Adam bit his lip, his eyes lingered on the two of them, and finally he proposed: "Everyone is tired from walking, how about we go for a drink?"

The three of them walked to Cafe Neo in silence, found a booth and sat down.Adam asked Hongrui what he liked and went to the counter to buy.

Hongrui and Kara were left alone.

Hong Rui and Kara deliberately turned their heads away, not looking at each other.They faced each other in silence for several minutes, when Carla suddenly said, "I don't like you."

Hong Rui didn't care, and hummed in response.Cara stared at the lampshade diagonally behind him and continued, "It's not because you're a man. I don't care if Adam likes men or women. I just care if the people he likes value him. He's admired you for years, and you After being together, I will definitely try my best to make you happy. But what about you, will you treat him with the same heart as Adam treats you? You will not, because you only care about yourself. You only pay attention to your shoes, but you have thought Is there anything Adam wants to buy?"

This is a bit unfair.Hong Rui frowned, a little angry.Kara knew nothing about him, or the struggles he had been through before.

He replied, "It's none of your business, Kara."

Kara stared at Hong Rui with a serious expression after hearing the words: "He is my younger brother. You take my younger brother with you like a pet, of course it has something to do with me. If you are free now, just tease him, wait You ignore him when you have more important things to do. One day you get bored and you abandon him, or one day he can’t stand you and leaves. Either way it will break Adam’s heart.”

Hong Rui raised his eyebrows, he wanted to argue for himself.He wanted to say that he, as the older one, was far more defined than Adam, who had been wandering around.He wanted to say that he admired and loved Adam, and for that he was willing to put up with Adam's impulsiveness and thoughtlessness that had put him where he was.He wanted to say that he was a nostalgic person, new shoes should be the same as old shoes, and every used kitchen knife was hung on the kitchen wall, how could he abandon Adam as Carla said.

Eventually he swallowed all the words and fell silent.

Seeing that he didn't speak, Kara thought he didn't even bother to explain, so she got up and went to pull Hongrui's neckline.At this time Adam came back with three drinks in his hand.He took Carla's hand and stuffed one of the hot drinks into it: "Here, I bought your favorite caramel latte with skim milk and half vanilla syrup."

Adam pointed to Kara's phone and said, "Didn't you always want to watch "La La Land"? Your good friend Ellie also indicated that she wanted to watch it on her Facebook status. So I will give it to you on my own initiative." I bought tickets to La La Land with Yili. Yili will meet you at the entrance of the movie theater. You walk over slowly, and Yili will be there after drinking coffee."

Kara took out her mobile phone to confirm the movie theater and time, glared at Hong Rui bitterly, and left.

Adam watched Kara go away, and let out a long breath.After sitting down next to Hong Rui, he observed Hong Rui's face and said cautiously: "Hong Rui, are you angry? It's my fault, I didn't expect Kara to be like this... How about you drink some coffee and take a break first, Let's look at the shoes after drinking, okay?"

Hong Rui shook his head, expressing that he was not angry.He took Adam's shoulders and gently rubbed Adam's scalp with his backhand, bringing their heads close together.

Adam's hair is short, but not stiff, and his scalp is still a little sweaty.Hong Rui disturbed his hair, which he had treated with hairspray, but he didn't care, letting Hong Rui wrap them around his fingers.Hong Rui remembered Kara's words before leaving.If you compare Adam to an animal, what would Adam be?Among cats, Adam's height makes him more like a tiger.But tigers don't have such exuberant vitality.Canines are generally too smart, and dogs are too submissive and lack self-awareness.Maybe more like a deer.Hong Rui thought of the red deer in the Scottish wilderness. The male deer was tall and strong, running across the vast land with majestic eight-pointed antlers.

He imagined the appearance of Adam standing on the grasslands of Scotland, which unexpectedly matched the image of the red deer, the bush-like slender and thin eyelashes, and the shiny and wet eyes were especially similar. "My young buck, mine," he said to himself, leaning his head to kiss Adam's forehead and rubbing Adam's head.

Adam snorted a few times in enjoyment, and rubbed Hong Rui's shoulder.His eyes were slightly closed, as if he was resting.He walked with Kara for a long time, and spent another hour looking at the shoes with Hong Rui. He must be very tired from carrying so many things, but Adam didn't show any signs of fatigue until now.Hong Rui felt that he was the older one and should have taken care of Adam, but suddenly felt that he was being taken care of by a young man ten years younger than him.

Hong Rui thought for a while and asked, "Adam, do you think I'm troublesome?"

Adam opened his eyes immediately.He was a little surprised. He carefully looked at the expression on Hong Rui's face, straightened up and waved his hands repeatedly, and said, "Nothing! I saw a lot of details that I didn't pay attention to before. I learned to look at shoes like you, which made me I'm very happy!" Adam noticed the untouched cup of coffee and said, "Or do you really not like coffee from chain coffee shops? There is an independent coffee shop not far from here, where can we go for a drink. "

After he finished speaking, he was about to get up to get the shopping bag.Hong Rui pressed Adam's hand and said, "Don't worry." Hong Rui took a sip of the coffee, shrugged and said, "It tastes good."

After Adam sat down in confusion, Hong Rui asked: "What about you, do you want anything? You bought a lot of things for Kara. What do you want yourself?" Adam was stunned, but Hong Rui didn't Thinking that one day he would admit his ignorance, he smiled awkwardly: "I don't know what young people of your age like, clothes, sneakers? Playstation or Xbox or other game consoles? Both Christmas and New Year I didn't have time to buy you a gift, maybe it's not too late for me to buy it now?"

Adam looked at Hong Rui without blinking his eyes, and said, "I don't have time to play games, but Kara has already bought me some clothes." After Adam pointed to the pile of shopping bags, Hong Rui glanced at Shopping bag, I feel a little unhappy.He took another sip of his coffee in disguise, berating himself for asking too late.

"Only, can I only choose among clothes and shoes? Can I do anything else, Hong Rui?"

Hong Rui raised his eyebrows, Adam asked for something from him, and Hong Rui was full of curiosity about it.Adam smiled shyly, and said with some embarrassment: "I think... well, I want you to shave me once, using your folding straight razor. Hong Rui, I want you to use your The razor shaves for me, is that okay?"

The razor is always stained with blood.And Adam is asking him to shave Adam with his own razor.It was not an ordinary request, and there was so much intimacy and trust in it, what Adam was to him, what he was to Adam—even the smallest wound, the smallest suspicion, would prevent you from sharing a razor with another human being.

But he didn't mind.

Hong Rui imagined Adam sitting on a chair in the bathroom, with his head thrown back, the curve of his cheeks and throat completely exposed to his eyes.They can talk and communicate.But no one can make a sudden movement, and a sudden fright of either party may lead to a bloody accident.

He'd soften the hair with pomade, then lather up Adam's skin in a thick lather.He would hold the razor and carefully scrape off every bit of foam and stubble, never leaving a trace of blood on Adam's skin.Maybe he'll shave slowly and enjoy this moment of intimacy and trust.Next he'll wring out a hot towel to wipe off any residual lather, and then pat on aftershave and moisturizer.

Such nourished skin is delicate and moist, suitable for caressing and kissing. He will kiss Adam's neck and cheeks to enjoy his results.But maybe he won't wait until then, maybe he'll kiss the newly revealed skin every time he scrapes off a strip of foam.

Hong Rui felt that this idea couldn't be better, and his plan for the whole night was settled.So Hong Rui stood up immediately, "Adam, let's go tonight, let's go back now."

"Huh? Wait, we haven't bought your shoes yet."

"Then don't worry." Hong Rui said, compared with Adam's neck, the shoes are not important at all.
