don't sacrifice

It was late at night, and Zhou Qichen was sitting at a table in a 24-hour convenience store.On the huge glass window, there is the bustling and beautiful night scene of Beihai City, with its feasting and feasting, and his face, which looks dull in comparison, but they are also reflected together.

There was no one in the store, and the salesperson neatly arranged the shelves, occasionally glancing over at him.When he went out, he found that he had left his keys and wallet at Shen Luli's house, but he didn't want to go back to get them, and he didn't know where to go.

He just looked out the window quietly, in a daze.After a while, the waiter tidied up the shelves.Seeing that he hadn't left yet, he took out a disposable cup to catch a glass of water, whistled and walked to his desk and sat down.

"I said..." The salesman looked Zhou Qichen up and down, and pushed the water glass from the table to him, "Are you going to sit here all night?"

Zhou Qichen glanced at him, feeling that this salesperson was about the same age as him, thin and tall, with handsome eyebrows and stars, a casual smile on the corner of his mouth, and a very sexy collarbone line.

"Yeah." He snorted softly as an answer.

"Aren't you a poor homeless little one?" The salesperson laughed and licked his upper lip with the tip of his tongue. "Or did you quarrel with your girlfriend at home?" He said, holding out his hand He patted Zhou Qichen on the shoulder and winked at him.

"...None of your business." Zhou Qichen turned his head to him and said indifferently.

"You are a real person, don't I care about customers? If you are really homeless, I can take you in." The salesman explained, he shrugged and said, "Besides, it's so boring here at night , I also want to find someone to chat with."

After hearing this, Zhou Qichen sized him up carefully. He would definitely get impatient if others inquired about him like this.But there seemed to be an attraction about the clerk, and he didn't feel disgusted at all when he spoke.

"I have nothing to talk about, and I don't need you to take me in." Zhou Qichen took a sip of the water he handed over, "But I suddenly felt that you are quite interesting."

The salesman froze for a moment, then burst out laughing randomly, and his hearty laughter echoed in the empty store.

"...I like your... eyes!" He laughed out of tears, "It's the first time someone says that about me."

"That's not enough to laugh like this..." Zhou Qichen complained.

"Well, I'll buy you a drink." Then he got up, took two cans of Russian wine from the shelf, threw one to Zhou Qichen, opened the other and started to drink.

"Thank you." Zhou Qichen took the wine, opened it and took a sip.

"Now I suddenly want to know you very much." He walked over and stretched out his right hand to Zhou Qichen, "My name is Jiang Yuan, what about you?"

"Zhou Qichen." He held Jiang Yuan's hand, feeling his palm was icy cold, as if it was contaminated by the cold air on the can.

This was Zhou Qichen's last sober memory, because soon he drank too much.For some reason, Jiang Yuan drank even more than him.It seems that this is no longer the convenience store where he works, but the bar on the street.

"I'll pay the bill later, drink like this... Your boss will blame you, right?" Zhou Qichen was already in a daze, Jiang Yuan split into three in his eyes, but each one had those sexy collarbones.

"No!" Jiang Yuan said to him with a smile, his face flushed, "This shop belongs to my husband, of course he won't blame me."

As soon as he finished speaking, he heard a snap, and Zhou Qichen stood up straight. "Your husband...you are..." He pointed at him in surprise, his fingertips trembling.

"Yeah, I'm gay, what's the matter?" Jiang Yuan looked up at him, with a little drunkenness in the corners of his eyes. To Zhou Qichen, it seemed like a deep charm, and his dark memory was awakened again.

He tried his best to shake his head to stay awake, then raised his head and took another sip of wine.It seemed that he was trying to suppress the emotion in his heart, and sat down.

"Sorry, I have no other meaning." He propped his forehead with his hands and rubbed his brows.

"I know." Jiang Yuan still looked at him with a smile, his eyes were bright, like a child.

"Well... I wish you a long time." He hesitated, feeling a little embarrassed, so he had to say something like this.

"Thank you." Jiang Yuan waved his hand and said casually.

"In this case, can I ask you a question?" Zhou Qichen suddenly thought of something, coughed lightly, adjusted his sitting posture and said to Jiang Yuan.

After hearing this, Jiang Yuan smiled, showing a playful little canine tooth, "There are very few people who come to ask me questions... Tell me, I will answer properly."

"If you say..." Zhou Qichen suddenly didn't know how to describe the doubts in his heart. He crossed his hands and his joints creaked, "If you had a reaction to a boy you just met, what would you do?" manage?"

After listening to his words, a strange light flashed in Jiang Yuan's eyes, "Are you gay too?"

"No...I just want to hear your analysis." Zhou Qichen spread his hands in a panic and explained, "Now I don't know what kind of orientation I am."

Jiang Yuan took a sip of his wine, looked at Zhou Qichen with lowered eyebrows, and said slowly, "I'm a little curious, what kind of little boy would make you react?"

"It's not a little boy..." Zhou Qichen quickly waved his hands and explained, "Although he is not yet an adult, he is still sixteen or seventeen years old. I actually don't know why I react to him, but... I have that kind of impulse inexplicably. "

Jiang Yuan crossed his legs, said nothing, but raised his eyebrows at Zhou Qichen.

"Actually, I had a good time with a man before." Maybe it was because he drank a little too much, or maybe it was his honesty with Jiang Yuan that made him let go of his guard.Tonight, Zhou Qichen exposed the darkest things in his heart to this man who had just known him for less than an hour, "That was when I was in college, we were just friends at first, but gradually I found that I have that kind of feeling towards him At that time, I still regarded myself as a pervert, and started to avoid him. I didn’t understand his phone and didn’t see him. But then another man wanted to confess to him. return…"

"Wow, I can't tell you are this kind of person!" Jiang Yuan's eyes widened, and he put his hand on Zhou Qichen's shoulder excitedly, and asked with great interest, "Then what happened next?"

"Some things happened later, and we broke up." Zhou Qichen raised his head and took a sip of his wine.

"But since you have liked men before, why can't you face up to your orientation?" Jiang Yuan said.

After hearing this, Zhou Qichen lowered his head, and after a long silence he said, "The previous relationship hurt the person I love too much, and I don't want to repeat the same mistakes. So now I have found a girlfriend, thinking that maybe this will be the end of my life." It can be regarded as nothing has happened. Moreover, this time is different, Xiaobai is still a child, I am not sure if he can accept all this."

"Besides," Zhou Qichen's eyes dimmed, like the sky with no stars, "so far, it's all my wishful thinking. I'm still not sure that he will like me."

"Oh, don't be sad here." Seeing that Zhou Qichen seemed to have drunk enough, Jiang Yuan suddenly came over, his hand suddenly stroked the back of Zhou Qichen's hand, and said with blurred eyes, "No matter how many things you have to do, sleep for a while." Feel good."

"Huh?" Zhou Qichen looked up at him in confusion.

"You can't stay here overnight, you should have to go to work tomorrow." Jiang Yuan said to him, "I'm familiar with the neighborhood and know a cheaper hotel, I'll take you there."

Saying that he got up.Zhou Qichen wanted to refuse at first, but suddenly felt a little headache, "That's fine...or I'll definitely be scolded again when I go to work tomorrow."

"Then let's go." Jiang Yuan took Zhou Qichen's arm as he spoke, "Wait for me, I'll close the shop."

"Why did you close the door and you didn't come back?" Zhou Qichen asked while holding his aching head.

"It's nothing, it's just that I'm getting more and more interested in you." Jiang Yuan didn't look back, and said while locking the door, "I really want to get to know you better."

The night wind on the street caresses, some people are sober, some people are intoxicated.
