Please call the phone number ABO on the photo

When Alex woke up, it was already dark outside the window, and it was raining lightly.The window was left open, and the damp wind was blowing in, making the air in the room a bit cool.

There was also some dim light from the window. Alex turned his head to the side, and the person beside him was still fast asleep.He almost slept on his stomach, with his back facing him. It must be because he felt cold, so the quilt was pulled up high, and only his furry head could be seen.

I just fell asleep and dreamed about what happened many years ago.When I woke up, I was still a little bit overwhelmed, and the old and new memories were forcibly mixed together like oil and water.

While waiting for the water and oil to separate, Alex suddenly remembered the day Maimai gave him the photo.

Mai Mai had always said before that he would introduce someone to him, and even said that it was his father. Alex has never taken his words seriously, because Mai Mai has always had a lot of ghost ideas, and he dares to say anything without restraint, and he may not really do it.As a result, when I received the photo, I couldn't react for a while.

The most unexpected thing is that Mai Mai is Li Yan's son.

Maybe it's because he never thought that his son would be so big in the blink of an eye.

After middle school, Alex never saw Li Yan again, and rarely heard about him from others.His family is still so well-known, from time to time because of some trivial matters in the newspapers.It was easy to surmise that as long as no bad news was heard about him, he should be doing just fine.

When receiving the photo from Mai Mai, Alex couldn't help but ask Mai Mai after a brief surprise: "What kind of person is your father?"

It's like the last question on the test paper that I didn't have time to solve during the graduation exam.Although it is meaningless to answer or not to answer now, I still feel concerned after all these years.Be deceived or not be deceived, still want to hear the answer.

When Mai Mai heard the question, he immediately said happily in the tone of a salesman: "My father is not bad, he is very nice..."

Mai Mai has a naive personality and is always very happy. He cannot be raised by calculating and lying people.

Alex didn't expect the balance in his heart to tilt so quickly.

Looking at the phone number on the photo, a kind of "Why don't you call and have a look" idea quickly aroused.

After hesitating for a while, he finally made up his mind and tried to make a call.

But it didn't connect, no one answered.A bit disappointed.

It was later discovered that Mai Mai had given the wrong phone number.

Although I got a new phone number, I retreated after experiencing a disappointment, and finally chose to send text messages.

Alex was very angry with Li Yan for a while.But sometimes in retrospect, I feel that anger was exaggerated.It was just one or two bad words, and the words were not too extreme, but because I was young and had strong self-esteem at the time, I felt so hurt after hearing it, and I had to turn around and leave.If it were him today, he would have gone straight to him and asked why.Maybe he really did something offensive inadvertently, maybe Li Yan was joking.It is understandable that the bar lost his contact information, and there is nothing wrong with not wanting to continue.

So I made an appointment to meet for dinner, but Li Yan acted as if he didn't remember him at all. Alex clearly remembered that when Maimai was giving a report at school not long ago, he was on the stage and saw Li Yan in the auditorium looking at him with a surprised expression.

He obviously remembers himself, why pretend he doesn't remember.

Alex felt a little suffocated, but quickly thought of a reasonable explanation.Li Yan probably felt embarrassed to meet his one-night stand many years ago.In particular, he and Mai Mai now have a half-teacher-student, half-friend relationship.If it were Alex himself, he would not be willing to recognize someone who was once a spring breeze under such circumstances.

Then don't mention it.

The most important thing between people is trust. If you don't believe in the other person's personality, then thousands of words are meaningless.

When he decided to contact Li Yan, he decided to trust him.

After getting along with him, I always felt that his performance was flawless, exactly the same as the No. [-] in the summer camp in his memory.

If it's a performance, it's too good. With this kind of ability, how can you even have to look at other people's faces when eating at your own home.

It must have been a misunderstanding.

When confessing his love a few days ago, Alex couldn't resist asking about the bar, but it turned out that Li Yan really didn't remember, and had no impression at all.The surprised expression during the report must be because he misunderstood.Thinking of this, I feel really stupid to worry about the past by myself.

The sound of the rain became louder, and the rain was blown in by the night wind.

Alex got up to close the window, maybe the noise was louder, and Li Yan woke up.He turned his head and looked over, took a look and closed his eyes again.

Alex went back to bed.Li Yan asked in a half-asleep and half-awake voice: "Is it raining outside?"

"Well. It's quite big."

Li Yan hummed, as if he wanted to continue sleeping.

Alex asked him: "Why do you sleep on your stomach? Isn't it uncomfortable?"

Li Yan turned his head to face him, but still didn't open his eyes: "...your bed is too soft. It's uncomfortable, I like hard ones."

Alex couldn't help but smile: "Again, what do you like?"

Li Yan didn't know it at all, and repeated obediently: "...I like hard ones."

It's actually very vulgar, but I don't know why I think it's funny. Of course Alex wanted to show it right away, but he didn't want to wake him up.Finally, he got up and went to take a shower. When he came back from the shower, he found that Li Yan had already got up, and he said in a panic when he said, "I should go home. I didn't expect it to be so late. I forgot to tell Mai Mai that today Go back later, if you don't go back, he will find out..."

Alex rubbed his hair and asked, "Don't you tell him?"

"..." Li Yan was taken aback for a moment, and then he reacted, showing a very ashamed expression, "...Yes, I forgot..." Forgot that the two of them are now together.

Alex asked: "...do you plan to make it public?"

This is a very real problem.The last time someone took a photo with a flash on the side of the road, Li Yan's reaction at that time was the same as if he was caught stealing something.He is definitely afraid of being known, and it may be difficult for his family to accept.

Li Yan never thought about this question.Before he came, he didn't think about the follow-up at all, he just wanted to confess to Alex clearly.Under Alex's gaze, he hesitated for a few seconds before finally admitting, "...I haven't thought about it...my dad and my elder brother..."

Alex interrupted, "I understand."

"No..." Li Yan immediately became anxious, "It's not that I don't want to say it, but it's so sudden... can I tell them later and slowly?"

"…I don't blame you," Alex said, "I know they might be upset."

Li Yan was very worried that Alex would feel resentful because of this, so he tried hard to make sure: "I will definitely say it..."

"They don't matter," Alex said, "What concerns me is, where is Mai Mai?"

Li Yan immediately answered: "I'll go back and tell him tonight."

Alex couldn't help laughing after hearing his anxious tone that he wanted to swear on the spot: "Don't be in such a hurry, I didn't mean to rush you. Otherwise, I'll treat you two to dinner on Friday night, and then we'll meet face to face He said?"

Li Yan nodded quickly, feeling that this arrangement was very appropriate.Seeing Alex smile, the tension and worries in his heart were also relieved.

Mai Mai received a call from Alex the next day. Alex said that because his birthday was coming soon, he wanted to host him for dinner on Friday night.

After hearing this, Mai Mai of course agreed: "Okay, what to eat? Do you choose or I choose?"

Alex said: "We each take a step back, and your father will choose."

Mai Mai was very surprised: "Is my father going too?"

Alex said, "…Of course."

Mai Mai said, "Since when did you become so familiar? Will it be just the three of us then?"

Alex said, "Exactly."

"Wow," Mai Mai couldn't help but said, "isn't that very like a family of three?"

Perhaps because of the single-parent family, Mai Mai pays special attention to this kind of thing that is similar to "family travel".But he immediately explained, "I was just joking."

Alex smiled and agreed: "It's quite similar."

Maimai smirked a few times when he heard it, and then he seemed to remember something, and said in a low voice: "By the way, do you want to know a big secret about me? It's a big secret! It's guaranteed to scare me if I tell it. You jump!"

"..." To be honest, from his tone, Alex didn't really want to know.What secrets can he have?But he still asked face-to-face: "What's the secret?"

Immediately, Mai Mai gushed: "It's a secret about me! Dad said that this matter should be kept secret, and you can't tell anyone casually, because if people outside know, grandpa and uncle will be very angry. But Dad said that if I If you can’t hold it back, you can choose to tell a trusted friend. I have been holding back for several days, and I can’t help it anymore! I told Xiao Yuan, but Xiao Yuan didn’t respond. I also want to tell you, because you are also my good friend .”

I said a lot but didn't mention the topic at all, but this trust is still worthy of recognition. Alex asked, "What's the secret?"

Mai Mai pretended to be mysterious and said: "It's too unsafe to say on the phone, I'll tell you when we meet on Friday night!"

Alex hummed briefly, not taking the matter to heart.Mai Mai is often surprised, so he did not expect it to be a big secret this time.
