Pretending to be miserable

The lights of Chuanlian Street are always reflected by neon lights, and the ambiguity brought out is too strong.

Yan Chu grabbed Chi Zheng's wrist and walked towards the bar. No one was in a hurry at first, but when crossing the road, a car roared past Yan Chu. Chi Zheng quickly pulled him back, Yan Chu's hand It slid directly into the palm of the man's hand and was held tightly. The whole person took a big step back and almost stepped on him.

Before he recovered from the panic just now, someone's serious voice sounded next to his ear: "This is already the third time."

Chi Zheng looked at him helplessly with lowered eyes, and held the man's hand tightly.

The touch of his hand made Yan Chu's heart tingle, it seems that this happened several times, he was inevitably a little embarrassed at the moment.

In the past, he didn't have anything on his mind, and he could concentrate on everything, but now it's different, there is such a person that keeps him thinking about it all day long, and it's hard for him not to lose his mind.It's just a bit embarrassing to say it out, it seems that the more I live, the more I go back.

"Ham, maybe it's because he's getting old." Yan Chu smiled to cover up his age, and this time he didn't dare to drag people forward until he saw that the front was safe.

Chi Zheng shook his head helplessly, his eyes fell on the hands he was holding.At this moment, the palms of the two of them were tightly pressed together, and the warmth flowed down the arms all the way to the whole body.

That feeling is like seeing a ray of sunshine in hell, and Yan Chu is his light, the ray that makes him want to chase and get it.

The two of them held hands until they reached the entrance of the bar. The red lanterns on the street were shaken by the cold wind. The New Year's Eve Gala broadcasted on the big screen had a new program, which looked much more interesting than before.

It's just that neither of them has the heart to care about it. Now is an important moment, and they know it better than anyone else.

"I'll open the door." Yan Chu said, looking at the person beside him.

Chi Zheng was a little confused, so he was frowning in wonder, when he suddenly felt his hand being clenched, and then he realized that what Yan Chu meant just now was to let him loosen his hand so that he could open the door with the key.

"Oh." Chi Zheng reluctantly agreed to let go of his hand, pinched his fingertips and rubbed them lightly twice, and stood there watching Yan Chu go to unlock the door.

He could hear the meaning in his tone, it was rare to see this person so cute, he couldn't help but raise the corners of his lips when he lowered his head to open the lock, not to mention how much he liked it in his heart.

The lock over there opened with a sound, and the phone in Chi Zheng's pocket vibrated twice.He didn't intend to watch it at first, after all, the current atmosphere shouldn't be interrupted, but the other party kept sending him messages as if urging him to die, and then called him directly.

Chi Zheng frowned and took out his phone. The name displayed on the screen was Si Ran, and there was a message from Chai Ziqian on the notification bar.

"Chi Zheng——" Yan Chu turned around and was about to call someone in, when he saw that the man had walked to the side of the road at some point, and was answering the phone with his back turned to him, as if there was a dispute.

A trace of uneasiness suddenly rose in Yan Chu's heart, but he didn't pass it over. He just stood there and waited for Chi Zheng to finish his phone call. This is basic courtesy.

Seeing that it was almost twelve o'clock, the New Year's Eve party played on the big screen on the street of Chuanlian Street had entered the countdown stage, Yan Chu looked away from above, and fell on the person who was walking towards him quickly.

In fact, with just one glance, he was basically able to determine the outcome of today's matter.Yan Chu's heart sank heavily.

Chi Zheng's complexion was not very good, his brows were tightly knit together, he walked up to Yan Chu in two steps, but he didn't know how to speak, "Yan Chu, I..."

At any rate, after so many years in this mixed place, the other party's emotions can be seen at a glance. The person in front of him is obviously flustered. After all, eyes can't lie. He knows that kind of look very well. up.

"If you have anything to deal with first, I'll wait for you here." Without waiting for Chi Zheng to explain, he said this directly, and handed him the car keys in his pocket, "In the garage, you first open."

Saying one more sentence at this moment may be a waste of time, and Yan Chu understands this better than many people.After all, he is not a teenage girl, and his boyfriend needs a reason and explanation for doing something, and more often he can understand it with a look from Chi Zheng, so there is no need to make it so troublesome.

"Okay, I'll take a look and I'll be right back." Chi Zheng squeezed his shoulder, turned around and walked quickly towards the garage.

Watching his back disappear around the corner, Yan Chu suddenly heard the sound of fireworks.

"Happy New Year!" The voice of the program on the big screen seemed to be infinitely magnified at that moment. Several hosts said auspicious blessings one after another, but he just stared blankly at the people with faces full of happiness. I don't know what it's like.

Yan Chu's cell phone rang twice. It was a greeting message from Han Xuan and Ke Chen. After all, it was the Gregorian New Year, so everyone paid attention to it.In the group of clerks in the bar, He Yushan and Ding Ye also took turns at Aite him, asking him to give out red envelopes quickly.

Looking at those words of blessing, Yan Chu didn't feel any disturbance in his heart.He had already been so numb for a long time, and he never cared much about the holidays. It was rare that he wanted to celebrate New Year's Day with that person this year, and he was thrown a bucket of cold water by the unexpected incident.

It is true that plans can never keep up with change.

Yan Chu sent red envelopes in the group, watching them snatch the red envelopes and swiping the screen blowing rainbow farts, they always say the same thing every year, it's so boring.He simply turned off the phone screen, turned around and entered the bar.

Since Chi Zheng said he would come back after a while, it doesn't matter if he waits here for a while, as long as it's still on New Year's Day, it doesn't matter.

Everything that was arranged in the house seemed superfluous at the moment, Yan Chu found a place to sit down, took out a cigarette from his pocket and lit it.

When the smoke was lingering, he was completely empty, thinking about nothing, and doing nothing.This can be regarded as a kind of self-relaxation, sometimes Yan Chu thinks so.

Half an hour later, Chi Zheng called. Yan Chu poked the cigarette butt into the ashtray twice to extinguish the fire, and then picked up the phone to answer the call.

Chi Zheng understood his habits, and he didn't wait for the call to connect, and said directly: "I'm on my way back now, and I brought you a midnight snack."

"En." Yan Chu glanced at the cigarette butts that had already filled half of the ashtray, "Be careful on the road."

"Okay." Chi Zheng agreed, and the phone call fell into endless silence.Yan Chu knew that he was phrasing, and it seemed that it was not so easy to talk to himself about this matter, so he guessed about it.

He squeezed the center of his brows, and said lightly: "If you have anything to say, just say it, I'll listen."

The person on the other end of the phone seemed to sigh, and said softly: "It's something happened to Si Ran. He only knows me in Yuancheng, so..."

"Sorry, Yanchu."

The tone of apologizing to Chi Zheng was too serious, even if Yan Chu wanted to vent his anger, there was nothing he could do.People have apologized so sincerely, but if he said something, he always felt like he was picking on the thorns, making it seem like he and Xiaodu chicken intestines couldn't even tolerate that person as a friend, it was unnecessary.

Yan Chu didn't speak for a while, and at the end he just gave an "En" and said, "I've already gone home, you can just drive to my house."

Chi Zheng seemed to want to say something more, but in the end he just agreed with "yes", and Yan Chu had already hung up the phone.

He looked at the things arranged in the bar, the lanterns, candles, and the bouquet of roses... A bitter smile curled up on the corner of Yan Chu's lips.As a man in his late thirties, he mustered up his courage to engage in this kind of romance for the first time, but now he is in no mood at all.

It's not that he blamed Chi Zheng for leaving him behind because of Si Ran, but he felt that it was quite unreasonable to be interrupted halfway through the confession.

Anyway, he's not in the mood to say anything romantic now, let's pick a day.

Yan Chu simply packed up his things and threw them into the warehouse, locked the door and strolled home.

When he got to the door of the house, he found that Chi Zheng was already standing there waiting.

The two looked at each other, neither of them said anything, Yan Chu opened the door, and Chi Zheng followed him into the house with the snacks he had bought.

The atmosphere was very oppressive, and Yan Chu really couldn't be happy, and he didn't have the mood to enliven the atmosphere right now, so he went straight into the bathroom to take a shower.

After working in the bar all afternoon, he was in a state of high tension both physically and mentally. He just walked back home. He was already exhausted and needed to take a shower to relieve himself.

Chi Zheng sat on the sofa and watched the man enter the bathroom without saying a word, feeling mixed feelings in his heart.

In fact, he couldn't feel better. He clearly knew why Yan Chu asked him to spend the New Year's Eve together today, but Si Ran called him away as soon as he made a phone call. Yan Chu was definitely not feeling well.But Chi Zheng didn't deal with other people very much before, and he really didn't know where to start coaxing people.

He stared blankly at the things on the table, rubbed his fingers together lightly, and thought about a hundred sentences of what he wanted to say after storing the words in his heart.

As a result, when the man came out, his throat seemed to be stuck in something, and he couldn't speak a word.

Yan Chu understands that the most important thing for two people to get along is communication. Although he and Chi Zheng haven't been officially together yet, they both know each other well, it just needs to be said first.

So he didn't intend to just be so stiff with Chi Zheng. After all, if this matter is to be blamed, it can only be blamed on God's will. Chi Zheng has had a friend like Si Ran since he was a child, and he will definitely respond to every request.The incident happened suddenly, and there was no way for anyone to know whether it was the prophet or not.

There is floor heating in the house, so it's not too cold.After taking a shower, Yan Chu wore only a nightgown, went to the living room and sat down next to that person, looked at the things wrapped in fast food boxes and asked, "Is it cold?"

His tone was quite gentle, no different from usual, which was beyond Chi Zheng's expectation, he was stunned for a moment before he came back to his senses, "I'll go warm it up for you."

As Chi Zheng said that, he had already carried his things to the kitchen, his footsteps felt a little more brisk.He knew that Yan Chu was giving him a chance, so naturally he had to make good use of it.

Yan Chu was a little worried, so he followed him to the door of the kitchen, and leaned there to watch Chi Zheng busily put things on plates and put them in the microwave to heat up.

"Stay here tonight," he said.
