His little coward

The two took the bus and headed all the way to the Jiangnan Ancient Canal area.

Neither of them had dinner, so after they got off the car, the first place they went was the snack street inside Nanchan Temple.

The snack street is crowded with people, and the narrow streets are bustling with people. Pedestrians spontaneously divide into two lanes, one goes with the flow and the other goes against the flow.

In the middle of the street, there are round tables and long tables made of composite wood, and the benches beside the tables are crooked. There are many people sitting on the seats. On the tables are all kinds of delicacies they ordered, and they all bow their heads and eat happily. .

It is about 8:30 in the evening at this moment. Compared with the busy day, the night view is more beautiful and the street is more crowded in the snack street.

It's just that it's because of this kind of night that it seems to protect everyone's fragility in the past, tear off their usual masks, and make them willing to come out to have a good time and have a good time.

Gu An opened the way ahead, while Mr. Lin Che, who was slightly shorter than him, quietly followed behind Gu An, allowing Gu An to tighten his wrist.The strange silence between the two was not broken until Gu An spoke.

"What are you going to eat?" Gu An stood in front of a cart selling stinky tofu and asked indifferently.

Seeing Gu An's appearance, Lin Che knew that he was greedy, so he obeyed his thoughts and pointed to the stinky tofu stand, "I want to eat stinky tofu."

"Yeah." Gu An gave him a slight smile, and then bought two big portions from the seller, each for five yuan, and put them in a foam box.

The seller's action is very neat. Put the fried stinky tofu into a small cylindrical pot, use scissors "歘歘歘" to cut each in half, add dried radish, coriander and other seasonings , the most important soup is poured in at the end.

The middle-aged seller packed two boxes of stinky tofu to Gu An, "Your stinky tofu, ten yuan."

Only then did Gu An hand over the wrinkled ten yuan from his pocket, then walked up to Mr. Lin Che and kicked his shoes. "Let's go, let's sit and eat there."

Mr. Lin Che followed his fingers and saw a table and chair where one person was already sitting, and then nodded, but his brows were slightly frowned, but he didn't show it.

And what Gu Anxin was thinking about was eating stinky tofu, so he didn't care about Lin Chejun's expression at the moment, so he immediately sat down at the table and opened the two boxes of stinky tofu.

Mr. Lin Che walked over, sat down, picked up the long bamboo stick outside the foam box, pierced a sticky piece, and put it into his mouth.

The taste is actually quite good, which Lin Che-jun did not expect.

While observing Gu An beside him calmly, he chewed slowly.

Gu An has not eaten stinky tofu for a long time, and he is really touched by eating it now.He could almost be regarded as a wolf, but within 5 minutes, he wiped out all the stinky tofu in the foam box.

He licked the corner of his mouth politely, and threw the eaten box into the trash can next to him.He was about to see how Mr. Lin Che was eating, when he saw another box of stinky tofu on the table being pushed over.

"You eat, I'm full." Lin Chejun pointed to his stomach, squinted his eyes and smiled at him.

Gu An looked at him suspiciously, then at the half-eaten stinky tofu, "Are you really full?"

"Ah."

"Okay." As the big brother, Gu An had no choice but to help him get rid of the little brother's leftovers.But he ate very happily.

After eating and drinking enough, the two walked around the snack street twice more. The snack shop was crowded with people, and their two 1.7-meter-high boys were almost squeezed into patties.

The two made up their minds that they would not come to this snack street at night next time, it was too cruel.

Pushing out of the crowd, both of them seemed to be sucked by a vixen, exhaustedly supporting their knees, panting for breath.When the two turned their heads, they caught a glimpse of the slightly swaying hair top under the warm yellow street lamp.

Because the two looked too embarrassed at the moment, they couldn't help but looked at each other and smiled, and then under the bright moon and the warm yellow street lights, they gradually released themselves and laughed heartily.

The two of them were in a wide square outside the snack street at the moment. There were not many pedestrians in the square. When they heard the hearty laughter of the two teenagers, they all looked subconsciously.

For a moment, the two of them seemed to be particularly eye-catching.

Gu An shut his mouth in embarrassment, pursed his lips and stopped smiling, and looked at Lin Che-jun again, but Lin Che-jun was smiling all over his face, then took Gu An's hand, and pulled him to run quickly.

The two of them, one in front of the other, held hands and ran happily along the ancient canal.Mr. Lin Che's five fingers were slender, but they also lost the softness of a child, and began to become firm.During this sprint, Gu An felt in a trance that he could feel the "heartbeat" in Lin Chejun's palm.

The boy with perseverance held Gu An's hand tightly and ran all the way...

Mr. Lin Che, who was very different today from his usual days, gave Gu An an indescribable sense of security.

The two of them ran all the way to the gate archway of Nanchan Temple, where there were crowds of people in twos and threes, they passed the archway that had been washed by the ages, or they were pulling their own children, or their partners, or Bring your own old people and come here to play together.

This ancient temple was built in the reign of Emperor Wu of Liang and the Qing Dynasty. It is located in the south corner of W City and on the banks of the ancient canal.

It almost accompanies the citizens living in W City for their entire lives. Since their birth, they have lived under the protection of this solemn and ancient temple.

"Where are we going now?" Mr. Lin Che saw that Gu An couldn't hold on any longer, so he stopped slowly and let go of Gu An's hand.

Gu An supported his knees, lowered his head and panted continuously.Although he has good explosive power, his stamina is not good. Naturally, he cannot compare to Mr. Lin Che who has been exercising.

But Gu An raised his head in doubt, and asked, "How come your physical strength is so good?"

Mr. Lin Che squinted his eyes, then shrugged his shoulders, explaining in a nonchalant manner. "Actually, I'm tired too."

Gu An didn't go too deep into this point, he rested for a while, and finally calmed down his shortness of breath, and became stable and peaceful again.

He looked at the old-fashioned watch on his wrist, "It's getting late now, let's go back."

"So early?" Mr. Lin Che obviously didn't put his heart into it. He thought for a while, and then pointed to the street leading to Nanchang Street directly in front of the Guidance Temple, "Why don't we go to Bar Street!"

Gu An was taken aback for a moment, then immediately shook his head and refused. "Lin Che-jun, what happened to you today? How can we go to the bar?"

There was a hint of inquiry in his eyes, "Did you learn badly from the classmates in Ninth Middle School?" He never thought that key middle schools like Ninth Middle School would have students who like to club.

Mr. Lin Che seemed a little aggrieved, and then said, "I'm curious, and you took me there today, so of course I want to go and have a look."

"No." On this point, Gu An could not agree. "Besides, tickets are required to enter the bar, and we don't have the money to buy such expensive tickets."

Mr. Lin Che hesitated to speak, and then seemed to give up. "Well, if you don't go, you won't go, but I don't want to go back so early."

"Go to my house." Gu An directly finalized.

Lin Che-jun waited for him to say this, and immediately leaned forward and kissed Gu An's cheek.Gu An didn't expect Lin Che-jun to give such a cheek kiss directly on the street, and what made him even more dumbfounded was, can a man kiss another man's cheek so naturally?

He immediately covered his kissed skin, opened his eyes, and forced himself to calm down. "What are you...kissing me for?"

Mr. Lin Che smiled without saying a word, but stretched out his hand to try to touch Gu An's skin. Gu An quickly dodged it. Mr. Lin Che stretched out his finger in the air, but finally retracted it. "Express that you are happy."

Gu An pursed his lips, and walked towards the station outside Nanchan Temple first. After walking for a while, he seemed to realize that Lin Che-jun hadn't followed. He suppressed his chaotic and complicated thoughts, and said to the people behind him, "Go!" ah."

"Ah."

I don't know if it was Gu An's illusion, but he seemed to hear Lin Che-jun's faint smile behind him. Because it was too deep, Gu An even thought it was wind.

At 09:30 in the evening, there was no one on the bus. The two sat behind the bus, one behind the other, and no one disturbed the other.

Gu An's heart was in a mess. He wanted to ask Mr. Lin Che why he kissed him, but he also felt that maybe he was too sensitive, or maybe it was really just like what Mr. Lin Che said, just to express intimacy?

The vehicle traveled all the way west, and finally came to the neighborhood where he came. They jumped out of the car one after the other, and then walked quietly to Gu An's rental house.

The rented house is a simple one-bedroom apartment with one bathroom and a monthly rent of [-]. The orphanage has no obligation to continue to support him after he turns sixteen.

After thinking about it, he chose to live alone instead of continuing to stay in the social welfare institution. He relied on social subsidies, scholarships, and the money he earned from part-time jobs to almost cover his living expenses.

Although life is a bit difficult, it is better than freedom.

Gu An asked Lin Che-jun to take a bath first, and then went in for a casual shower after he came out.He put on his black underwear, walked out of the bathroom, and saw that Lin Che had already climbed onto his bed, occupying a corner of his small bed, pulling the air-conditioning quilt, with his eyes tightly closed.

Seeing this scene, he couldn't help laughing, and those strange thoughts before were also thrown out of the sky by him.

He crept into bed so he wouldn't disturb him.
