Qi Ao is the main force of the school's basketball team, but he takes care of the high school seniors who have to concentrate on preparing for the exam, so the remaining months of the second year of high school will be his last time on the basketball team.

"Sehun, it's all up to you to prepare for the inter-school competition in early June. Also, if you have time, help me find a few potential stocks, so that the school team has successors, haha."

"Understood, teacher."

Qi Ao has been training for 5 consecutive days, and he didn’t return home until 9 o’clock on Friday night, sweating. At this time, Berr is usually processing documents or reading in the study. Qi Ao has to pass by the study when returning to his room. Think about it give up.He exhausted too much energy, was very hungry, and didn't dare to disturb Berr, so he could only lightly hang the dirty basketball in the living room, and then ran to the kitchen to rummage in the refrigerator, only to find a pudding .

Qiao put his coat on the sofa before he dared to sit on it dripping with sweat. Berr has a cleanliness habit and is very sensitive to peculiar smells. If he doesn't do this, he will be scolded sooner or later.

After two mouthfuls of pudding, Qiao felt even hungrier.After thinking for a while, he finally decided to go downstairs to the convenience store to buy some fast food, at least to fill his stomach.

But who would have thought that just as he got up, the study door suddenly opened.

"Where are we going so late?" Bell held a thick reference book in his hand, and the gold-rimmed glasses on the bridge of his nose slipped slightly.

"..." The sweat stains on Qi Ao's jersey were still there, he wiped his forehead and didn't know what to say for a long time.

"Have you eaten yet?" Bell asked again.

"No." Qi Ao looked at him and shook his head.Probably because the lamp light from the crack of the door behind Berr was too quiet, he couldn't help but licked his lips again.

"Go take a shower first, change your clothes, and then come downstairs with me." After finishing speaking, Berr went back into the house without closing the door, his rustling voice seemed to be sorting out something.

"Okay." For a moment, Qiao felt that the gelatin in his stomach seemed to be churning happily, so he quickly took a change of clothes and went into the bathroom.

The night wind was getting warmer in early summer, Chiao was wearing a casual shirt and trousers, while Berr was wearing a sweater and only a pair of knee-length shorts.

Sometimes Qiao felt that Burr didn't look like a person in his early thirties, and sometimes he felt that he was too mature and stable, and even seemed a little depressed.But no matter which Burr it was, he was always on the sidelines, watching with never-fading eyes.The light from different angles sculpted the different styles of this man. Qi Ao was so fascinated by it that he forgot to distinguish the vision and purpose of those light sources.

"You haven't eaten yet?" Qiao felt the need to say something, and the soft voice drifted into Berr's ear with the breeze.

Bell glanced at him, then looked straight ahead again. "Um."

Qi Ao's heart buckled for a neutral response: Is it because... you are waiting for me?

He couldn't help but look sideways at Boer more and more blatantly, until the other side took him to the destination, then Qi Ao realized that they had already stood in front of a food stall.

In my impression, Bell rarely came to this kind of place.He loves cleanliness and doesn't like noisy environments. He doesn't care about most foods, and he's not keen on using too many spices to stimulate his taste buds.

"Whatever you want to eat, just order it." Berr took out his wallet from his trouser pocket, and he only asked the boss for a pot of tea.

Qi Ao looked at him calmly, and couldn't help laughing to himself—who would come to the food stall to drink tea?Boer seemed to follow Qiao's taste, but the latter knew very well that he was just not familiar with the dishes here, so he couldn't know where to start.

Thinking about it this way, it seems a little cute.

Afraid of being discovered, Qi Ao pursed his lips and started laughing secretly.

"Four cold dishes, two bottles of beer, three catties of sesame seeds, twenty mutton skewers, the meat should be thinner." Qi Ao finished the name of the dishes in one breath, and then asked Boer with his eyes if he had enough to eat.

Bell nodded slightly, holding the tea cup in his hand.

"Okay! You two wait a moment." The boss quickly brought them paper towels, chopsticks baskets and other things from another table, and then turned to work.

Qi Ao couldn't drink water, he just wanted to fill his stomach quickly.The mutton kebabs couldn't be baked for a while, so when the cold dishes and the like came up, he just buried his head and devoured them.In contrast, Berr's posture was much more leisurely. He picked up the food leisurely with one chopstick after another. Judging from his expression, he didn't seem to be able to taste the taste.If there are other people at the table, they will lose their appetite more or less by his appearance when eating.But Qi Ao is different. Not only is he extremely immune, but he often stares at Bell without blinking, while eating without any disturbance.

"Three catties of hemp is small, you two eat slowly." The boss put a pot of red crayfish on the table, and just about to leave, Boer stopped him again: "Two more bowls of rice, please, I want it now."

Qi Ao was holding a bottle of wine to drink, when he heard this, he asked, "So you're so hungry?"

Boer glanced at him indifferently, and said, "You eat spicy food as soon as it's cold, and if you don't have some food, how can you play tomorrow if you have diarrhea?"

Qiao thinks it makes sense-Berr is very careful in many cases, but he is often reluctant to talk about it.

"The match is scheduled for June 6th, and that day happens to be Saturday...you..." Qi Ao pretended to be casual, but he hesitated to speak when it came to the key points.

"I can't go." Burr understood what he meant and refused straight away. "If I remember correctly, I probably went to S City to study and investigate during that time."

"Oh." The disappointment was fully revealed.Qi Ao is like this, he never communicates meaninglessly with people outside, but when he is in front of Berr, he seems to be a different person, becoming a real "child", who can almost express all emotions with this man as the object output.

Berr ate the prawns slowly. He didn't think it was very spicy, but his lips were dyed red and bright by the spicy oil, which looked very attractive in the night environment. "Don't hang your face. You can't go to the game, but you can go to the parent meeting."

"..." Qi Ao's expression became even uglier.Bell clearly did it on purpose. He knew that his grades were not good enough, and every time his grades were ridiculously low, he would inevitably slap him when he came back from the parent-teacher meeting. Being on time and on time really made Qi Ao feel aggrieved.And the result of being angry with myself was that when the rice and mutton skewers were served, Qi Ao was already in no mood to eat them.Even if my legs were weak from hunger, I still feel that any delicious food is hard to swallow at this moment.

Burr always does.Every time he took a step forward and gave Qiao a sweet date, the next moment he would take two steps back and tell the boy that he didn't want the apple he gave back.

And you will find that Boer is not the one who pays more in the end, because it is almost no loss for him to send a mere date, but Qiao, because he has to keep moving forward to catch up with him, and the apple in his hand is also worthless. Abandoned at Bell's feet, it slowly rotted away.

"Eat quickly, go back to sleep early after eating." Berr drank his tea and finished eating early.

"Can I cancel this business trip?" Qi Ao suddenly said with his head down.

"What did you say?" Berr's cup was raised in the air, and he didn't continue to move.

"This kind of tolerance is only in name. In fact, it is to travel with public funds. If you quit, there must be many people who want to step up." Qi Ao's voice was dull.

"Don't say stupid things." Berr's emotions, which had been a little hot from the spicy taste, gradually cooled down, and his tone returned to his usual alienation.He felt that Qi Ao had started to make trouble again.

"Stupid words?" Qi Ao suddenly raised his head and looked at Boer, and the latter found that his eyes were a little red after a closer look. "In your eyes, I'm just a wild child who is stupid all day long, right? Since you decided to take me home, why can't you love me more?"

"Enough. You drank too much." Bell glanced at the two empty wine bottles, as if looking for evidence for his words.

"Or, do you think that adopting me was a wrong decision at all, and now it's just out of face and doing business every day like a job? Do you think that as long as I grow up, you can get rid of me and live a normal life?" Live? Then you might as well kick me away now - because facing you like this, I also feel that every second is very difficult." After Qi Ao said this excitedly, he choked up a bit, and then he He lowered his voice again, closed his eyes and breathed hard: "If you don't want to respond, don't let me continue to love you."

Bell felt a tightness in his throat and couldn't speak a word.The two remained silent for a long time, and then he slowly put down his glass: "You don't understand anything fucking." After speaking, he hurriedly settled the bill and left first.
