waste

In late October, the weather began to turn cooler, and the sunshine shining on the body was very pleasant, and it was no longer as hot as summer.

Shu Yuan added a thin knitted hoodie before going out, and Liu Mian stuffed him with an umbrella: "Take it, the weather forecast says it will rain in the afternoon."

"Yeah." Shu Yuan took the umbrella and put it in her schoolbag.

There are also two books in the schoolbag pretendingly. Every time Shu Yuan goes out on weekends, he uses the excuse of going to the library with his classmates to do homework, which is the least revealing and the most convincing.

"I'm not going to eat at home tonight." He hesitated for a long time before saying.

As expected, Liu Mian changed his expression again, stood in front of the door and asked, "Where are you going this time?"

Shu Yuan was a little impatient, but it didn't show on his face.

"Eating out with my classmates," he said, "be back before ten o'clock."

"What kind of food can I eat until ten o'clock..." Liu Mian was suspicious, "Is it with a classmate, or a group of classmates?"

"One." Shu Yuan said.

"One," Liu Mian continued to ask, "male and female?"

"Man," the phone vibrated, Shu Yuan took it out and pressed the button, Li Xu sent a text message saying that he had arrived, "Mom, I'm going out."

The door was blocked by Liu Mian, Shu Yuan saw that her mother had no intention of moving away, so she emphasized again patiently: "Ten o'clock... 09:30, you can come back before 09:30."

Liu Mian finally turned sideways to let him out of the way, but she was still not at ease: "Next time, bring that classmate home. You can do your homework in the study."

"Let's talk about it." Shu Yuan put the phone back in his trouser pocket, and before Liu Mian could say another sentence, he tightened his schoolbag shoulder strap and ran down the stairs.

At the intersection outside the community, Li Xu was sitting on a street car holding his helmet and pressing his phone, his slender legs firmly planted on the ground.This person didn't seem to be too afraid of the cold, and he was wearing short sleeves when it was windy. Shu Yuan felt that the two of them were not in the same season when he got close.

"Here we come." Li Xu put away his phone, handed him the helmet in his arms, looked at him for a moment and then suddenly raised his hand.

Shu Yuan flinched subconsciously, but Li Xu just helped him stretch the back of his neck, then withdrew his hand and said, "Get in the car."

The autumn wind passed by, playfully tugging at the corners of their clothes.

Li Xu drove too fast, Shu Yuan grabbed his clothes at first, and then hugged Li Xu's waist tightly in fear of death.

"Where's Xiaoxiaosu?" Shu Yuan asked, "Why don't you bring it out by the way?"

"At Song Ge's place," Li Xu tilted his head while speaking, but still looked ahead, "he applied for foster care for a few days."

"Are there biscuits too?" Shu Yuan asked.

"No, it's just Xiaoxiaosu." Sensing that the people behind were silent, and the strength on his waist was loosened a little, Li Xu freed up one hand to pat Shu Yuan's, "Hold on tighter."

The hands were clenched again, and Li Xu raised his mouth: "I don't mean to say that I can trust Xiaoxiaosu to be raised by others but I am reluctant to let Biscuit leave me. Since I promised to raise it, no matter whether Xiaosu or Biscuit To me, they are all equally important. Brother Song is different, he is not the owner of the two cats, so he has the right to choose who he likes more. You also know that he writes songs, and he comes when he sees Xiaoxiaosu I got inspiration, he likes it, and he wants to stay with it for a few more days. On the premise that I trust Brother Song, I rest assured to entrust this life to Brother Song for the time being—so, do you understand? "

Like the light penetrating through the cracks, it is cautious but arrogant.

Shu Yuan often feels that Li Xu has a maturity that does not match his age, and has a strong ability to persuade people. I don't know if it is hereditary, but he has a leader's demeanor.He nodded, thinking that Li Xu shouldn't be able to see it, and said "um" again, indicating that he knew.

The car stopped in front of an old residential building, Li Xu locked the car, and led Shu Yuan to go upstairs.

The residential building looks about ten years old, there is no elevator, and cards for water and electricity maintenance are posted everywhere on the concrete walls.

"Brother Song lives on the seventh floor, the highest floor, with his own roof. He built a small studio on the roof. He usually stays there when he writes songs and broadcasts live." Li Xu drove fast, but walked very slowly up the stairs. The first floor stopped and turned back, "The stairs are not narrow, can't you walk side by side with me?"

After walking side by side, Li Xu changed the subject again: "Cats are cats, and people are people. I will not transfer the same amount of emotion I have towards people to cats."

"For no reason..."

"It's not for no reason," Li Xu cut off Shu Yuan's words, "Do you think I'm nice to biscuits because I can't let go of Tan Xuanlin?"

Shu Yuan was stunned: "Who?"

"Tan Xuanlin," Li Xu paused, suspecting that his deduction was wrong, "it's the boy who asked you to deliver the gift for him."

"Oh." Shu Yuan replied, isn't it just the ex-boyfriend, it was so complicated.

"The biscuit was given by him on my birthday. The cat is dependent on the owner. I can't just give him the biscuit just because I broke up with him." Li Xu glanced at the floor number on the wall, it's the sixth floor, " Just because I like biscuits doesn't mean I like Tan Xuanlin, but just because I like Xiaoxiaosu doesn't mean I don't like you..."

Shu Yuan suddenly raised his head.

At the same moment, Li Xu grabbed Shu Yuan's wrist to prevent him from running away from him in order to avoid the truth.

He didn't want to say it today, but he explained some things, so he couldn't help but leak the secret.

That being the case, then go all out.

No matter what the result is, no matter whether the relationship will deteriorate or not, he just wants to have a good time, and then pursue it legitimately, so why hide it?

"You just think that what you said before is just foreshadowing. It doesn't matter if you don't understand. Anyway, what I want to say now is what I want you to understand the most." Li Xu stared at Shu Yuan's eyes, feeling the beating pulse of the other party with his fingertips , as if you could feel your heartbeat, "Shu Yuan, I know you can feel it, but please don't give me the answer right now."

Li Xu became very unconfident for the first time, and the voice of swallowing saliva due to nervousness seemed to be amplified countless times, but those few simple words came out firmly: "I like you."

The lingering autumn wind blew over from the window sill at the entrance of the corridor, wrapped around the two of them, and even the atmosphere became ambiguous.

Shu Yuan was flustered. This panic was not reflected in Li Xu's confession to him. On the contrary, he had realized that Li Xu had a crush on him, but he pretended to be stupid if the other party didn't tell him. At this time, Li Xu said It is tantamount to confirming his thesis.

He panicked because he didn't know how to respond, when he had to face the facts.

I don't want to refuse against my will, but I feel inferior to my physical condition and can't accept it.

He can no longer treat this feeling as calmly as before. When he thought he was standing on the sidelines in a safe area, Li Xu was sure to capture him.

"Who do you like?" A voice suddenly came from above their heads, both of them were frightened and raised their necks at the same time.

Song Yuenian was leaning on the guardrail on the seventh floor, holding a cat in his arms, with a slight smile on his lips.

Shu Yuan heaved a sigh of relief, and withdrew his hand from Li Xu's, ran up the stairs in three steps at a time, and stretched out his arms to the wide-eyed cat: "Xiaoxiaosu."

"It just slept." Song Yuenian moved Xiaosu into Shu Yuan's arms, "It's healthy, don't worry."

Xiaoxiaosu is much cleaner and more beautiful than when we first met, and she is not as timid as she was at the beginning. When Shu Yuan hugged her, she was licking her palms all the time, it was itchy and comfortable, and she naturally loved her very much.

We sat at Song Yuenian's house until after three o'clock. Before leaving, Song Yuenian brought out a pet bag and put Xiaoxiaosu in it. Shu Yuan pointed to the pet bag and said, "It's new."

The new one, unlike the one with the biscuits, this one looks like a red and white pokemon ball.

"Oh, Li Xu bought this." Song Yuenian offered the pet bag to Shu Yuan.

Shu Yuan, who went downstairs with a pet bag on his back, thought it was amazing. He had his own cat. Although he didn’t own it, he could name it and take it for vaccinations, and he didn’t have to worry about Liu Mian not liking it. ...

After arriving at the pet hospital, Shu Yuan couldn't bear to give Xiaoxiaosu to the doctor, and hugged it and refused to let go: "Will it hurt?"

"It hurts even if it hurts." Li Xu said ruthlessly.

After the vaccination, they had to stay and observe for half an hour. During this period, the two had nothing to do and observed all the pets in the hospital one by one.

"The whole body of this cat is white, only four paws are black. In the previous life, it was probably a pair with Xiaoxiaosu." Li Xu said.

Shu Yuan listened silently, occasionally curling the corners of his mouth, but his eyes never stayed on Li Xu's face.

It was only five o'clock when the doctor informed that Xiaoxiaosu could be taken away, and Shu Yuan fell a few steps behind Li Xu, struggling with herself for a long time.

Li Xu stopped and turned around: "Can't you walk by my side?"

"I won't go anywhere else." Shu Yuan stood still and didn't move forward.

Li Xu sighed, walked over to take the pet bag Shu Yuan was carrying, and held Shu Yuan's arm with the other hand: "I'm a little worried that you are out of my sight."

Before reaching the carport, the two of them didn't say a word. Shu Yuan was obediently led by Li Xu until the other party put the helmet on his head, and then he said with difficulty: "I'm not going."

"Where not going?" Li Xu asked.

Shu Yuan curled up her fingers: "I won't go to the show anymore."

"Is it because my confession made you uncomfortable?" Li Xu stepped onto the streetcar, "Or do you not know how to face me?"

neither.

Shu Yuan opened his mouth, painful memories flashed in his mind, like sewing his mouth shut.

can not say.

Various cars came and went in and out of the carport one after another, Li Xu turned sideways and patted the back seat: "Get in the car first."

He carried Shu Yuan to "Indulgence" and dragged Shu Yuan into it.

Shu Yuan staggered away, but fortunately the bar wasn't too noisy at this point to drown out his voice: "I can't say it!"

Li Xu remained silent, dragged Shu Yuan to the rehearsal room and locked the door, folded his arms and leaned against the door panel and said, "I just want to find a place to talk to you, and I'll send you back when the talk is over."

The only exit was blocked by Li Xu, and Shu Yuan looked helpless in front of him.Xiaosu, who was thrown on the sofa, seemed to be able to understand his emotions. She pressed her nose against the air hole of the pet bag and whispered "Mimimi".

"What are you talking about?" Shu Yuan rubbed the arm that hurt from Li Xu's pinching.

Li Xu saw his actions, he felt guilty and distressed, but he convinced himself not to soften his heart.Because what stands in front of him and Shu Yuan is not only the question of who likes whom, but also that there are too many unspeakable mysteries about Shu Yuan. If the mysteries cannot be solved, he will never be able to get close to each other.

"You don't like me." Li Xu used a declarative sentence.

Shu Yuan was taken aback for a moment: "No."

"That's why he likes me." Li Xu tossed out this sentence indifferently.

He spoke calmly, but Shu Yuan was the one who was ashamed. He subconsciously wanted to deny it, but it seemed that he could feel at ease without denying it.

Unexpectedly, Li Xu's next sentence made him even more embarrassed: "If you like me but can't accept me, is it because you still can't let go of Qiao Qi?"

"No!" Shu Yuan reacted fiercely, clenched his fists, his eyes widened.

Qiao Qi is the full name of Han Qiyun's girlfriend.

Li Xu let out a "heh", the questions that had been circling in his mind for the past few days finally had a breakthrough.

"Okay, I'll take you back." Li Xu said.
