don't sacrifice

"I just went out today... to buy groceries, so I stopped by to see you. I thought you were not here, and I just wanted to leave..." Xiaobai came to him while speaking, looked up at him, and used Scratching his face with his fingers, he seemed a little shy.

"What about your food?" Zhou Qichen looked at his empty hands and asked with a smile on purpose.

"Dish... haven't bought it yet!" Xiao Bai seemed to have been exposed, and a faint blush appeared on his cheeks.He hurriedly explained, "Buy it later, it's cheaper."

"So, you're going to buy groceries now?" Zhou Qichen thought his flustered look was very cute, so he decided to deliberately tease him.

"Huh? That's right...then I'll go first..." After hearing what he said, the expression on Xiaobai's face suddenly froze.Then he scratched his head, "Then, goodbye, Brother Zhou..." Turned around and prepared to leave.

"Hey, hey, I really have to go." Zhou Qichen quickly grabbed his arm.Xiaobai turned his head and saw Zhou Qichen's bright smile and white teeth against the light, "I'm just kidding you."

"But, you have to go to work too, I still have to go." Xiao Bai looked at him with a slightly disappointed look, which made Zhou Qichen's heart tremble.

"Are you busy today?" Zhou Qichen asked him.

"I'm going to the hospital to see my sister at noon, and there's nothing else to do." Xiaobai replied.

"Is that so... are you home alone at night?" Zhou Qichen suddenly thought of something, "Then come to my house for dinner."

After listening to his words, Xiaobai's eyes suddenly lit up. "Can I go?" He asked excitedly with a beautiful arc at the corner of his mouth.

"But I want you to cook." Zhou Qichen also smiled, his tone quite gentle.

"No problem!" Xiaobai happily replied.

"I get off work at five o'clock in the afternoon, so you can go to my house at five o'clock. I'll copy the address to you now." Zhou Qichen took out a pen from his pocket, touched his pocket again, and found that there was only one toilet paper.He carefully wrote his home address on the piece of toilet paper, and handed it to Xiao Bai.

Xiaobai glanced at the address on the paper, and suddenly asked, "Isn't it the place last time?"

"Last time it was my girlfriend's house." Zhou Qichen scratched his head and explained, "This time it's my house."

"Huh?" Xiaobai looked up at him in confusion, but didn't ask any more questions.

"Okay, I'm going to work." Zhou Qichen put his hand on Xiaobai's hair, and rubbed it vigorously twice, messing up his original hairstyle. "Now you really have to go grocery shopping."

"Hee hee, then I'll go first." Xiao Bai didn't care about the messy hairstyle, and said goodbye to Zhou Qichen with a smile, "Brother Zhou must work hard!"

"I will." Zhou Qichen waved his hand at him, "You don't have to be too serious about cooking, don't be too tired."

Xiaobai had already walked a few steps, turned around and shouted to him, "I won't be tired!" Then he turned his head, leaving Zhou Qichen with a cheerful back.Zhou Qichen kept looking at him from afar, knowing that the little figure disappeared from his sight.

"What..." Zhou Qichen looked down at his phone, "I'm actually late..."

"Don't pretend to me, I've seen it all today!" In the office, Xiao Xu followed Zhou Qichen with a teacup in his arms, looking for the gossip he accidentally discovered in the morning, "Who is that, new girlfriend? It's like glue at the door, and I'm chatting until I'm late for work!"

Zhou Qichen didn't speak, but just turned his head and gave him a blank look.

This aroused Xiao Xu's desire to gossip even more, he put down the cup, leaned in front of Zhou Qichen, and asked curiously, "Did you break up with Miss Shen?"

"What nonsense." Zhou Qichen pushed him angrily.

"That's why you're not authentic, Achen!" Xiao Xu persevered and hugged Zhou Qichen's shoulder again, "You said you haven't broken up yet, how could you flirt with other women? You let Miss Shen what to do!"

"Are you blind or a crab!" Zhou Qichen couldn't bear it any longer, turned his head and said loudly to Xiao Xu, "You didn't realize that was a..."

When the words came to his lips, he suddenly fell silent.At that time, the idea of ​​inviting Xiaobai to cook at his house came to him in an instant, and then he blurted out, forgetting the so-called dangerous distance all at once.Moreover, when he was facing Xiao Bai, those little gestures of intimacy were not intentional, but he wanted to touch him unconsciously...

"What is it?" Zhou Qichen came back to his senses, Xiao Xu still stared at him with his big eyes full of gossiping desire.

"It's a ghost." Zhou Qichen pushed him away again, turned and walked to the bathroom.

He stood in front of the mirror in the bathroom, turned on the tap and washed his face violently.Looking up again, the exhaustion from last night's hangover appeared on his face again.

It seems that I really like this little boy.He looked at himself wet in the mirror, with a helpless smile on the corner of his mouth.You still haven't changed, Zhou Qichen.he said to himself.Since that man, he deliberately hid it for five years.Even force myself to talk about that boring love with a woman.It's just that I don't know when, but after meeting this young man, my success fell short.

But, is it really right to have a love affair separated by such a gap and the secular world?He lowered his head and looked at his bony fingers in astonishment. There was an inconspicuous scar on the ring finger of his right hand.There was a love tattoo there, the initials of the people he loved.But now it has become the shackles he imprisoned himself.

"Wei Haojun..." He stroked the tiny scar and muttered to himself.

"Brother Haojun, where is the money I put with you last time?"

After separating from Zhou Qichen, Xiao Bai didn't go directly to the vegetable market, but ran to a tailor shop in the alley of his house.He opened the door curtain and rushed in, shouting into the counter.

"Why are you in such a hurry, they ask you for money again?" A man came out from behind the counter, with a straight figure, wearing a maroon Chinese tunic suit.A pair of sword eyebrows were twisted together at this moment, thin lips were pursed lightly, with a worried look on his face.

"No, no." Xiaobai quickly waved his hands to explain, "I'm going to a friend's house for dinner tonight, and I want to use the money to buy groceries."

"What kind of friend?" The man behind the counter still frowned and asked worriedly.

"Don't worry, brother Haojun!" Xiaobai saw his worry and explained with a smile, "It's the policeman who helped my sister and me."

"Oh, that's fine." Then Hao Jun stretched his brows, turned and went into the back room, "I'll get it for you."

Soon he was back.Just as he was handing the money to Xiao Bai, Xiao Bai suddenly saw a red tattoo on his right ring finger.

"Huh?" He couldn't help asking curiously, "You still have tattoos, why haven't I seen them before?"

Haojun quickly covered it with his hands, but said calmly, "I used to have tattoos, maybe I often wear rings, so you didn't see it."

"Oh." Xiaobai stopped asking.

"Then I'll go first." He thanked Haojun, turned around and went out happily.

Looking at his hurried back, Hao Jun was in a daze for a while, and subconsciously wanted to turn the ring on his right ring finger.But I found that I didn't wear it today.Looking down at the finger, three bright red letters came into view.

He smiled in a trance, but it was also a name he hadn't seen for a long time.
