Refraction

After Cheng Shen hung up the phone, the caller showed that another person had called during the call.

Yao Jiaren called back: "Sorry, Dr. Kurose, I was talking about work with my colleagues just now—what's the matter?"

"Well, what about the new job?"

After thinking about it for a short while, Yao Jiaren replied objectively: "Successful. The colleagues in the company are all very nice, but there were also terrible things that happened—but in the end they were resolved without any risk."

"What about the colleagues?"

"It's all good, the boss and colleagues are very nice people."

"Is your health okay after stopping the medicine?"

"Occasional side effects of vomiting - but less and less frequently."

"That's good—where's the kitten? How's it doing?"

"It..." The third party in the topic is currently making a "gurgling" sound around his feet, "It's pretty good. It's just that recently... a kid who is allergic to animal dander was attached."

"It's not its fault." Dr. Kurose laughed loudly: "Then, fourcount was executed successfully. Now tell you the fifth point—the most important but also the most difficult point to do. Are you ready?"

"Well, please speak."

"The fifth point is - don't refuse love."

After hanging up the phone, Yao Jiaren stood by the window and watched the twilight for a long time.

Ten minutes ago, it was a grand dusk of orange mixed with dark red, but now the warmth has faded, and there are only large areas of cold gray on the sky.The only remaining patch of sun was still trying to shine—and it was swallowed up by the distant buildings in just a moment.

Somewhat abruptly, Yao Jiaren thought of a boring piece of physics knowledge: the fading sunset just now is actually just an illusion; the real sun has already crossed the mountains and seas to the other side - can't bear to wear stars and moons on the way home, so the atmosphere bends In the afterglow of the sun, stay warm for a while.

"Heh..." Yao Jiaren couldn't help laughing—this terrible world occasionally has a romantic side.

But in fact, the cruelest thing is this kind of illusion—the direction you are looking at, where he once left a lingering and ambiguous dream; you watch devoutly, but you don’t know, the place is actually empty and cold.

If it is a dark night for me directly, it is not impossible for me to face it-why give me a piece of light?

When submitting his resignation, Yao Jiaren asked Xie Yuan: "Why are you making fun of me?"

At the end of the story, Xie Yuan was not a bad person through and through. He didn't look at Yao Jiaren, but whispered: "I'm sorry..."

Yao Jiaren suddenly found it funny: "Are you apologizing? Are you expecting me to forgive you? - Why don't you give me some other answers? You just say 'because it's exciting', 'I just want to play tricks on you'... what did you say? It's all good! It's good to say too much!"

Just don't deserve an apology.

Maybe I'll feel better by leaving with nothing but the purest dislike for you.

That time when I was immersed in a dream with Cheng Shen, in the middle of the journey, Cheng Shen broke the atmosphere and walked away for a moment: "Why do you still wear a watch?" While talking, he tried to take off Yao Jiaren's watch.

"Don't move." Yao Jiaren pulled his hand away.

Cheng Shen was a little embarrassed by this refusal: "I just...see that your wrist is already red."

Yao Jiaren was taken aback.

Not strangle marks.Under the dim light, he just misread the stitched scar on his wrist.

He didn't speak any more, just hooked Cheng Shen's neck and kissed him.

Yao Jiaren still remembers the first time he noticed Cheng Shen—through a beer mug, the visitor’s shirt was unbuttoned at the collar, and his tie was dismantled crookedly; Come over, and use a childish shooting action instead of greeting; the voice is a bit natural and hoarse, but it can't hide the youthful atmosphere.

"Brother Chen, you're late. You have to walk a while after getting off the subway—hey, handsome guy, you're the new one in the department...?"

The piece of light and shadow split by the glass and the wine fell into Yao Jiaren's eyes and reorganized into the person he least wanted to face.

But when the cup was put down and the unrefracted real light and shadow entered the pupils, Yao Jiaren smiled and introduced himself: "Yao Jiaren."

Not Xie Yuan; not at all like Xie Yuan.

How could it be Xie Yuan.

Just a stranger.

Yao Jiaren never thought of having any love-hate relationship with a stranger.

Coming to HALO is to want to start life again.I want to learn to use the meanest face to fight against malice; I also want to learn to use the most absurd behavior to gain warmth.

If you want to have an unrestrained love for a while, the object does not need to be a specific person—it is Cheng Shen, and it is only because he happened to step on the right rhythm and appeared on the edge of Yao Jiaren's desire impartially.

This stranger was kind and simple, so Yao Jiaren wanted to trick him into a hug; when he reached the emotional point, he wanted to trick him into a kiss.

"Do you have a crush on me too?"

"No." Yao Jiaren denied: "I'm just willing to have fun because of your feelings - the rules that adults understand. Don't make me look down on you."

It's not talking to Cheng Shen, it's more like a ban on himself.

But when Cheng Shen heard this, he kept a straight face and stood by the bed.Trying to restrain his increasingly anxious breathing; the bath towel covering his body had already been left in the middle of the hasty kiss just now, and he confessed his undisguised anger.

That appearance made Yao Jiaren feel that he was going too far - but he couldn't express his remorse, but Cheng Shen acquiesced to the rules.

In the dark light, one soul crashes into another.

The strange tactile sensations that seem to be painful but not painful are not given a clear rhyme, and each of them only sighs secretly.

The tacit understanding is like... two people who have been in love for a long time.

The orgy was long and long; there was pleasure, and there was a wicked pleasure.

After the end, Cheng Shen went to take a shower first, and when he came out, he looked anxious: "Did I... hurt you?"——Maybe he saw blood on the sleeve.

"It's okay, it's inevitable."

In the past love affairs, there were also people who showed off their power at the sight of blood and said "I'm amazing"—— Cheng Shen was the first one who anxiously asked "what should I do".

That stupidity made Yao Jiaren laugh.

Laughed for a long time.But I don't know whether I'm laughing at him or myself—I'm not used to being placed in the wet mud for too long, and I feel unaccustomed to the occasional dry spring breeze.

After driving away Cheng Shen, Yao Jiaren shivered under the shower.

Every time he said "Do not break the rules", he was not speaking to Cheng Shen, but to himself.

——He is very gentle, but do you still want to love?

——Look at your distressed appearance, he can see it all.

——From a ridiculous game, do you still expect the cleanest love to be born?is it possible?

According to the difficulty of conquering, Dr. Kurose will provide Yao Jiaren with a new doctor's order every once in a while.

He provided the fifth point today, which is "Don't refuse love".

Yao Jiaren looked back at the bedside. The "Life Guide" was pasted on the wall. The first four points were doctor's orders from Dr. Kurose; The doctor's orders were completely contrary.

There was no light in the room, but the sky was completely dark.

In the dim light, the kitten circled around his feet, rubbing his forehead against Yao Jiaren.

The principle of optics has brought human beings into a new era, and spurred one concrete forest after another to sprout and grow savagely... But in the dark corner of this forest, I wet my eyes because of the "refractive index".

The kitten seemed to have noticed something, and ran to the porch.

A moment later there was a knock on the door.

When he opened the door, Cheng Shen was holding milk tea, against the light in the corridor, grinning at Yao Jiaren with a canine tooth.

"The line to buy milk tea is too long, and the wait is a bit long."

"It's okay...it's good to be here."

With the wind at dusk in early autumn, it is steaming with heat.

When being hugged by Cheng Shen, Yao Jiaren didn't resist anymore.

In the end, everyone left the hotpot restaurant without loyalty, and went directly to KTV.

It is hard to find a parking space in Sanlitun on weekend nights.First let Zheng get off the car in front of the KTV, and it took Chen Gong two to ten minutes to find a parking spot one kilometer away.

When I walked to the KTV and found the door according to the box number sent by Qiumang, I still had a small half of the cigarette in my hand.So Chen Gong stood at the door first, planning to finish smoking before going in.

When he was extinguishing the cigarette, someone grabbed his arm and squeezed it severely: "How did you learn so badly?! You actually smoke?"

Chen Gong turned to look back, stunned for a moment, and recognized the visitor: "Tang Tang? Long time no see!"——Qiu Mang's classmate and Lin Hang's direct junior; Also took their classes.

Tang Tang was also stunned: "Eh? Senior Chen? Long time no see!"

Chen Gong rubbed his arms with a smile: "It's so fierce—didn't I smoke when I was in college?"

Tang Tang smiled apologetically, and hurriedly rubbed it a few times in embarrassment: "Your back...I misunderstood, I thought it was me..."

As soon as the word "boyfriend" was finished, Tang Tang's hand was pulled away by a person who followed behind - the person was wearing a mask and a peaked cap, with only his eyes exposed; the action was pulling, but not rude, pampering As if afraid of smashing Tang Tang.

Tang Tang looked back at the man, and then turned back to introduce: "This is my senior in the university, and also my assistant teacher—senior, this is my boyfriend. Eh? You seem to be fellow villagers too!"

"Hello." Chen Gong nodded politely to the other party, but received a punch that was neither light nor heavy.

When Chen Gongzheng was puzzled, the other party reached out and hooked off the mask to reveal his face. He first rubbed Tang Tang's head and said, "We know each other—before we knew each other!" After speaking, he raised his head and smiled at Chen Gong: "Brother , played ball together before!"

Chen Gong only recognized it by looking at the dim lights in the KTV corridor—Chen Qingye, Lin Hang's childhood friend; now he is a popular male model who has become famous in the fashion circle.

Entering the private room, seeing Qiu Mang still over there angrily grabbing Zheng Yi and not letting go: "Why did you two go?"

Zheng Yi smiled mysteriously: "Sister, this is a big deal, I can't tell you!"

Qiumang brought over Chen Gong who had just entered, and tortured Zheng Yibai in a low voice: "Be honest!"

Chen Gong then confessed honestly: "We were going to sleep——we were dragged out of bed by Manager Qiu's phone call."

Zheng Yi was taken aback, and turned his head to look at Chen Gong with a smile in surprise.

Chen Gong also looked back at him: "What's wrong? Don't you want the whole world to know?——Let me help you."

Zheng Yi laughed: "I'm going to cry - I thought you only wanted to have an underground relationship with me..."

Hearing this, Qiumang felt that something was wrong.A little embarrassed, I thought about it for a while and comforted him: "Don't worry, don't worry, the future will be long!" After speaking, he fled to the other side to play jokes with Chen Qingye and the others.

Lin Hang started the game with a piercing tune.

Zheng Yi hugged "Spiritual Oxygen Bar" Qiu threatened Lin Hang, "If you sing Lao Tzu again, I will kiss Qiu Erdan!", but Qiu Mang grabbed his ear and took it down neatly.

Chen Gong and Chen Qingye Tang Tang briefly recounted the old days, and another girl came in through the door.Qiumang went over to hug her with joy: "Yiyi!"

Zheng Yi, who had snatched the wheat and was howling the horse pole, stopped: "My dear sister! Didn't you be told to call me by my old name outside?"

The "old name" aroused Chen Gong's curiosity. Before Zheng Yi came back to his senses, Qiu quickly gave Chen Gong the allusion of "dash".

Chen Gong smiled and looked at Zheng Yi, who threatened to strangle Qiu to death.

When Chen Gong received Cheng Shen's message, Zheng Yi was singing a song affectionately for everyone.

The MV of that song happened to be shot by "supermodel" Chen Qingye across borders - because of his poor acting skills, he was ridiculed by everyone. Chen Qingye was so ashamed that he just pulled his T-shirt up to cover his face. Tang Tang anxiously said He covered his abdominal muscles and refused to show it to everyone.

[Cheng Shen]: Brother, I'm with my little playmate!

[Cheng Shen]: But he thinks that I don't know too many tricks, so we watch the film and study together, hehe!

[Cheng Shen]: Then!Here comes the point!

[Cheng Shen]: In the film of this company, this person looks like Brother Chen! ...too much drama!

[Cheng Shen]: Don't beat me up!

[Cheng Shen]: [Video]

Chen Gong sipped the ice water, turned off the sound, clicked on the video and slid the progress bar to watch it, then turned it off again.

Cheng Shen returned an emoji of [Come on] and a sentence: Study hard and make progress every day!

The author has something to say: At the beginning, I would like to pay tribute to Mrs. Tarimoi's "10count" hehehe!

At the end of "Starting from a Lie", all the members messed up!
