give you a soft spot

Under the gray sky that will rain at some point, today's Xi Zhuo doesn't look like him.

"How do you usually solve breakfast?" He slowed down and asked me sideways.

"Basically eat at the breakfast shop downstairs."

"Which one? Let's go eat."

The breakfast shop I often go to is opened by an old couple. It's not a big shop, but the food is very authentic.Xi Zhuo suggested to eat, and I led the way.

Countless pedestrians are in a hurry, half of the shops on both sides are open, and the humid air is full of various food aromas.

After entering the store and walking inside, I passed a young mother who was teaching her son not to be picky eaters, and two male high school students who were discussing enrolling in cram schools.

The dark wooden tables and chairs are stained with the sense of age. Before Xi Zhuo sat down, I took out a tissue and helped him wipe the chair. Wipe down the sitting area too.

We sat side by side, with our backs facing the wall, like some kind of pious ceremony, and looked up at the menu on the wall in unison.

Within a few minutes, pure white soybean milk, golden fried dough sticks, hot steamed buns, sticky rice porridge... were all on the table.

In my memory, Xi Zhuo never brought cash, and Bai Yang took out his wallet for all temporary expenses when he went out, so I was a little surprised when he swung his arm away when I was ready to pay at the checkout.

He stuffed the change back into his wallet and stepped out the door first. I could feel the eyes of the two girls who passed us in.Subconsciously walk two steps quickly, I said Brother Zhuo, hurry up.

He grabbed my arm and told me not to be nervous.

It's not that I'm nervous, I just don't want him to be involved in any unavoidable public incident.

He saw through me, put on the hood of his hoodie as he walked, and chuckled: "I'm not afraid of taking the staff out for breakfast."

The heart that I finally let go hangs up again after walking tens of meters.

This man looked very much like a teenage student who skipped classes. He stopped at the entrance of an Internet cafe with an excited face. He said he wanted to go in and play two games.

After I was sure that he really wanted to go in, I followed without hesitation, and I began to feel that his character set was breaking down a little bit.

The light in the room was not very bright, so I took someone's ID card from Xi Zhuosai and handed it along with mine to the front desk network administrator who yawned and didn't even look up.

There were not many people in the room at this time, and most of the figures lying on their stomachs or on their backs in front of the computers were sleepy after a night of sleep. I walked in front and chose the two seats at the farthest corners and asked Xi Zhuo to sit in the room. Inside, it was like hiding a ticking time bomb.

After Xi Zhuo turned it on, he pressed my power button as well.He rolled up his cuffs and said, "Let's play Green Raid. I saw that you posted screenshots of your achievements in Moments."

I smiled: "Then come."

"Green Strike" is a very popular competitive online game in China. I started playing it three years ago. At that time, the spokesperson was Xi Zhuo. I didn't have much addiction to the game. I could indulge in it in the first second, and the next It can be completely pulled away for a second, and I don't understand why my crazy roommates say that people like me are terrible because of this.

My technique is not very good, I can barely use skills flexibly and control characters accurately.

After Xi Zhuo logged into the game, I couldn't help complaining on his screen: "Brother Zhuo, you can play such a decadent character."

He looked full of energy: "Stop talking nonsense, come on, give me the coordinates."

Things are getting more and more unbelievable. Xi Zhuo's operation is more neat than I imagined. It can be seen that he is a master who plays a lot. He is much better than me in terms of soul level and combat layout.

Then we became Internet-addicted teenagers, staring at the screen, sliding the mouse and typing on the keyboard. The rare thing is that I used to be tricked by my teammates and would swear, but today I am very civilized.

From the beginning of fighting alone, it gradually turned into collusion with each other, discussing the position in advance, and then watching the enemy's comrades-in-arms, who were unexpectedly surprised by our tacit understanding, jumped into a rage.

It was agreed to only play two games, and we played for more than two hours in one session. There were more and more people in the Internet cafe, and the smell of cigarettes was getting stronger and stronger. We got up and evacuated.

It has been raining outside for an unknown amount of time, and there is shallow water on the ground.I stood at the door, opened the umbrella and raised it high, motioning for Xi Zhuo to come in.

But he took the umbrella, and relying on the advantage of being taller than me, he easily held the umbrella to a height suitable for us to adapt to.

Many days of hot and dry weather have been waiting for this happy rain, and everything on the earth is drinking the rain juice.It's past lunch time. If it wasn't for the rainy day, there wouldn't be so few people on this road.

The rain falls on the umbrella, rolls down to the edge of the umbrella, and falls vertically on the ground or the tip of our shoes.

This umbrella is a single-use sun umbrella I bought at the time. It is not very big, and it is indeed a bit embarrassing to squeeze two big men.So that our arms are close to each other, and only when we walk together can we move more coordinated.

There is no destination, and I don't care where I go, he doesn't stop, I don't stop.

"Isn't it terrible?"

Use affirmative questions.

I looked at his side face blankly: "What's terrible."

It was rare to see Xi Zhuo look so confident, he moved his lips: "I'm talking about this date."

I shrugged. "I've never dated before."

Xi Zhuo turned the handle of the umbrella in his hand, seemingly casually but seriously said: "All my love affairs are discussed in front of the camera according to the script, but in reality I don't have a script to take, so I can only play by myself."

I saw him hesitate to speak, but did not interrupt.

"Eat breakfast with you and go online together. In fact, I just want you to know that I am also an ordinary person, and I can accompany you to do many things that ordinary people do."

His words touched my heart. I thought he just made a decision at any time, but he had already thought about it.From this point of view, it is not surprising that he went out with a lot of change that was exchanged for full bills, and the IDs of other staff members who were not easy to reveal their identities.

I was moved but also cramped, for all the past and present he has done for me with all his heart.

"So Cheng Ming, don't think of me as superior, and don't be cautious around me," Xi Zhuo stopped and faced me, leaning forward slightly, giving me most of the umbrella, "Don't be afraid of me, don't admire me , you just love me."

I admit that I have always been not brave enough to love me, always hiding in my self-righteousness, afraid of causing trouble to him, and even more afraid that the relationship will not last long, but at this time I found that what I fear most is that he will lose .

He was too handsome to frown.

In the gloomy sky where day and night cannot be distinguished, my world is shone with thousands of dazzling lights.I took the hand on the handle of the umbrella.

"Brother Zhuo, I don't know how to say nice words, I just want to follow you slowly from now on."

He covered mine with the other hand, smiled and winked at me: "Okay, let's walk slowly together for the rest of the way."

Deafening is the heartbeat and thunder.
