I am very poor

The wind seemed to be getting bigger and bigger, whistling and whirling, sweeping past him.

They huddled under a small umbrella, as if it was another world.

Between each other, the breath can be heard.

Huo Yufei's eyelashes are very long, and if he is not careful, a few snowflakes will float on them, but soon, the snowflakes will melt and condense into a drop of cool water, which will fall tremblingly in the blink of an eye.

This made the expression on his face even more difficult to understand.

No one speaks.

Huo Yufei didn't speak, neither did Gu Cheng.

They huddled under the wind and snow like two quails.

The distance is extremely close, and the breath can be heard.

Vaguely, Gu Cheng seemed to smell a special, dry and warm scent from the other party again.

It smells nice, familiar, and reassuring.

He couldn't help but get closer, closer.

Until he accidentally touched the cold tip of the other party's nose.

He subconsciously opened the distance, but immediately, slowly, slowly moved back together.

With a very low voice, but the other party must be able to hear clearly, he repeated in a whisper: "I like you."

Such a serious and affectionate expression appeared on a familiar face.

It made Huo Yufei feel a little hard to describe.

A little annoyed, a little annoyed, and a little happy.

What is troubling is that, facing this familiar but no longer familiar face, no matter how much mental construction he has done, it is still difficult for him to say "I like you too" calmly.

Fortunately, the other party said the words "I like you" to him instead of others.

Because there is only me in this world, and I will never make you sad.

Thinking this way, Huo Yufei also approached slowly, slowly, with an indescribable tension, approaching cautiously.

He was so nervous that he could even feel his lips trembling a little.Just when they are getting closer and closer, each other's breath will be entangled.

A series of ping-ping-pong-pong footsteps and laughter sounded behind him.

They raised their heads as if awakened suddenly, and took a step back in unison.

Huo Yufei took a particularly big step, almost jumping out of the umbrella in one fell swoop.

The giggling male and female students smashed snowballs at each other and passed by them playing.

Across the swirling snowflakes, Gu Cheng looked at Huo Yufei a little tenderly, as if waking up from a dream.

He quickly took a step forward and took the other party into his arms.

Then he took a few deep breaths to calm down the trembling in his chest: "Then eat stewed pot, the kind that can be used for hot pot with soup after eating. Let's order your favorite dishes, shall we?"

Without waiting for Huo Yufei to answer, he continued: "Is there anything you particularly like to eat? Or do you particularly hate it? Tell me, huh?"

"Do you have time tomorrow? Or the day after tomorrow? Or after you finish the exam? Shall we go out and have fun?"

"Is there any place you particularly want to go? Have you ever been to the Forbidden City? Do you want to go?"

"The Forbidden City is very beautiful when it snows. How have you spent these years abroad? Did you go to any interesting places?"

"I want to hear it, can you tell me?"

But he didn't really want to hear it.Because he didn't give Huo Yufei any chance to speak.

In the swarming snowflakes, Huo Yufei couldn't hear other voices, only Gu Cheng's hurried whispers could be heard.It seems to be in a panic, declaring sovereignty in a special way.

They finally crossed the wind and snow and closed the umbrellas at the door of the small shop at the destination.

Through the transparent floor-to-ceiling glass, you can clearly see the rising heat from the tables inside.They were lucky, and there happened to be the last vacant table.Many people came out to eat hot pot on a snowy day. Because it was the exam week, it gave the students a reason to "combine work and rest", and the whole store was bustling with activity.

The proprietress brought up the menu, Gu Cheng took it in her hand, and took the initiative to change a seat, sitting next to Huo Yufei.While talking to him, ask him if he wants to eat this or that, and then draw a picture on the menu with a pen.

And after he finished writing the menu, he didn't sit back across from him.

Huo Yufei turned his head to look at Gu Cheng, his eyes were not as bright as usual, but rather dark.

Like a transparent lake.

"Gu Cheng."

He smiled at the other party, feeling that he should say something, but when he met those familiar eyes, he didn't know what to say.

But they have to talk about it.

He wanted to know how far Gu Cheng considered and expected him.

In this way, he also knows how to be satisfied.

But in Gu Cheng's eyes, Huo Yufei suddenly called his name, and fell silent while hesitant to speak.

Gu Cheng tore off the plastic film of the sterilized tableware, scalded it with tea, then stood up and poured the water from the tableware into the sink.

When he came back, Huo Yufei was holding a chopstick to his forehead in a daze, as if he was facing a difficult math problem.

Gu Cheng's eyes fell on the corner of the other's unconsciously bent mouth, and he suddenly wanted to lean in and kiss him.

Huo Yufei raised his head suddenly: "I want to ask a question."

At this time, the stew pot they ordered was delivered, and the waiter introduced various ingredients into the steam pot while introducing them, but neither of them listened.

A dense layer of water droplets quickly condensed on the inside of the transparent glass pot lid.

After the waiter left, Huo Yufei spoke again: "I remember you said that you are not gay."

No one knew the answer better than him, but he still had to confirm it himself.

Because Gu Chengyue, or Gu Cheng... shouldn't be gay!

Since Huo Yufei was a teenager, he has often been confessed to by the opposite sex, and Valentine's Day gifts are always filled with the entire locker.But he never accepted it.

Huo Yufei's most used reason for rejection is, "You are very nice, but unfortunately I don't like you."

This sentence is quite sincere.

Huo Yufei thinks that liking someone should be a very serious matter, he never accepts other people's confession, it's just because he hasn't met the person he really likes.

Zhou Jianda didn't take it seriously, he suspected that Huo Yufei was a bit cold, but this suspicion has been completely dispelled this time when he returned to China.

This guy isn't frigid, he's gay.

No matter what Zhou Jianda murmured in his heart, Huo Yufei knew very well that he was not.

He does not discriminate against homosexuals, but he has never had any impulse towards homosexuals.

So he thinks that Gu Cheng should... not?

Sure enough, he heard the other party say with certainty——

"No."

"I don't think you are either."

Gu Cheng hesitated for a moment, but said with certainty: "But I think you like me too. You treat me so well."

You are so nice to me?

Huo Yufei blushed from embarrassment.

He touched his nose.

He said softly, "Really?"

Gu Cheng pretended to look at him calmly, and asked, "Isn't it?"

Huo Yufei stopped talking.

After a while, he seemed to be a little helpless when his little secret was exposed. He lowered his head and smiled, then nodded, "Yeah".

It's really hard for him to say "I like you too".

But it's okay to take the opportunity to nod your head.

Gu Cheng, who had been closely watching his reaction, suddenly tightened his breath.

Then for a while, none of them spoke.

The steam valve on the glass pot lid is pushed open by the rising steam inside, spraying out thick water mist.

Gu Cheng turned off the fire, pulled the steam valve with a small spoon, and opened it little by little.Then the two of them were like two children who were still in school, obediently sitting at the table waiting for the meal to be served, sitting side by side at the table, watching the steam accumulated in the pot completely dissipate little by little.

Gu Cheng lifted the lid of the pot with his right hand, turned his head and signaled to Huo Yufei, "you can eat it", at the same time, with his left hand under the table, he quietly held the other's right hand.

Then, bit by bit, it penetrated into the opponent's fingers, and finally the fingers interlocked.

"I'll be good to you." He said suddenly in a low voice.

It's like talking to the other party, but it's more like talking to yourself.

Then he picked up the chopsticks and picked out the things that Huo Yufei said he "loved to eat" in the bowl, and when it was finally full, he reluctantly let go of his left hand——

Open the fingers that have been a little stuck to each other due to too much force, and slowly rub off from the root.

This light touch made his heart shiver.

It was like a small string of electric currents suddenly short-circuited from the fingertips, and instantly filled the whole body.

Gu Cheng... was a little nervous.

Huo Yufei silently withdrew his hand and picked up the chopsticks.

But in fact, he was also a little nervous.

It should be said more than a little.

Falling in love with Gu Cheng is something that he has never thought about, nor can he imagine at all.

Even though he'd perfectly convinced himself of the need to do so, the fact felt a little odd.

There was a lot of voices in the restaurant, everyone was paying attention to their own affairs, but the wind and snow outside the glass emphasized how lively the room separated by a wall was.

But they are very quiet here.

This quietness is not embarrassing, but rather reassuring.

Gu Cheng felt very at ease.

He quietly watched the white mist rising from the pot, and suddenly emphasized to himself again: "I will treat you very well."

This sentence is very light, or too light.

As soon as it exited, it quickly slipped into the surrounding bustle.

But Huo Yufei heard it.

Although he only grabbed a small tail, he accurately guessed everything the other party wanted to say.

He suddenly turned his head and gave him a deep look.

This time, he clearly saw Gu Chengyue's shadow on the opponent.

Familiar and unfamiliar.

Make him happy, make him sad.

In the end, it still made him smile slightly.

Huo Yufei picked up the chopsticks, picked out a full bowl according to the taste of the caregiver, and pushed it with the back of his hand with a smile.

"I'll be nice to you too."
