rush to score

When Liang Xi walked out of the sword hall, Lu Mingchuan was smoking a cigarette by the back door.In the evening, the sky in the distance is a layer of orange-pink clouds, and tomorrow should be a good weather.

Peng Jianxiu gave them a few days off, euphemistically calling it a time for self-reflection after the training game.

"I haven't asked yet, when did you learn to smoke?" Liang Xi stepped forward, and only then did he see clearly the cigarette in Lu Mingchuan's hand, a milky white one, which fell between the man's slender, bony fingers , inexplicably added a bit of sexiness.

The last time I saw Lu Mingchuan smoking was indoors, in the elevator room outside the wine cellar, the airtight space prevented the smoke from dispersing, which made the smell of tar thick.

I smelled it again today, but somehow felt a faint milky fragrance in the air—a smell that was completely against Lu Mingchuan's body.

Seeing Liang Xi approaching, the young man by the wall snuffed out the cigarette butt in his hand without even thinking about it, and even waved his hand to try to make the smell of smoke dissipate faster.

Liang Xi frowned and said, "No need, I'm used to smelling it."

"You..." Lu Mingchuan looked at him, hesitating slightly.

"I smoke too."

Such words came out of Liang Xi's mouth, with a kind of inexplicable weirdness.

Lu Mingchuan stared at his seemingly obedient and delicate face, and fell silent again.In fact, subconsciously, he wanted to tell Liang Xi that he was not allowed to smoke, but he suddenly realized that he had no position on this matter.

The younger brother who follows him seems to have grown up without knowing it. He is eighteen years old, and he is the only one who can take responsibility for his life. What's more... Lu Mingchuan looked down at the cigarette butt between his fingers, and in the end he could only be hesitant. Open: "You shouldn't smoke, you're an athlete."

"Aren't you too?" Liang Xi asked back.

"I'm different."

"Why is it different?"

"I'm going to soon..." Lu Mingchuan stopped talking, he threw the cigarette butt in his hand into the trash can irritably, and greeted, "Aren't you going out to chat with me? Come on, get in the car, I'll take you somewhere .”

Before Liang Xi could react to what Lu Mingchuan was saying, he had already been pulled by that person at the junction of his wrist and forearm. He followed Lu Mingchuan all the way to the parking lot, a gray Mercedes-Benz A, quite Compared with the previous sports car that was enough to blow up the street, this time the car costing over two hundred thousand yuan was too low-key.

"...Where's that McLaren from before?" Liang Xi didn't let go of his frown, he stared at the car thoughtfully.

"I can't drive such an eye-catching car every day, can I?" Lu Mingchuan said very flatly, and he opened the car door to let Liang Xi in.

The car was speeding all the way towards the northern suburbs, Liang Xi was not sure where he was going.

The two used to talk about everything when they were teenagers, but now they seem to have become taciturn because of a hurdle called "like".

Liang Xi thought, if Lu Mingchuan was really for that matter back then, he would have made a big mess... He was always overprotective of Liang Xi, and he was very good at being self-centered.

It seems that Lu Mingchuan always has his own set of theories when looking at things, right and wrong are all in his own mouth, and many things all become "he thinks".

The car stopped at a resort in the suburbs. When Liang Xi and Lu Mingchuan came out to check in, the front desk lady was drooping her eyes and was a little drowsy.

She raised her head and stared at the two people for a while before she reacted. She checked in with the two people's IDs. She didn't realize that Liang Xi's expression was unnatural. Then she said cautiously: "If you encounter any problems at night, you can come to Ask the front desk for help, we have staff on duty 24 hours a day."

This resort focuses on rural landscapes, which is a bit like a farmhouse. Most of the tourists who come here are white-collar workers in Poping. They come here to relax during the day, stay overnight at night, and go back the next day to complete a short vacation.

Those like Lu Mingchuan and Liang Xi who worked so hard at night to come here just to get a good night's sleep are really a minority.

Liang Xi knew that she had misunderstood, so he smiled helplessly: "It's okay, my brother and I just came here on a whim to miss our childhood." His tone was very relaxed, as if he was joking.

He didn't know why Lu Mingchuan insisted on coming here to talk to him. In fact, he just wanted to talk clearly about Bo Nuo and that teacher back then.

It seems redundant to come to this resort - he doesn't want to miss his childhood here, even though he and Lu Mingchuan often came here with adults when they were young, he doesn't want to reminisce with Lu Mingchuan about those long-gone days at this time.

He's tired, he's just finished a game.

So when Liang Xi drank the second can of beer, he already felt dizzy, his cheeks were hot and numb, and his mind became dull and slow.

He and Lu Mingchuan were sitting on the balcony outside the room, looking up at the stars in the sky with half-raised faces. Those bright and mysterious planets emitted conspicuous light in the night.

Liang Xi smiled while holding his cheeks: "Coach Peng said... that athletes should not drink too much alcohol."

"You don't drink heavily, you just drink occasionally."

"Um--"

The ending was dragged long by him, trembling, as if being rubbed against the palm by the tail of a big cat.

Lu Mingchuan felt that he was also a little drunk. He stared at Liang Xi's black and white eyes, and suddenly asked, "Do you like it?"

"What do you like?" The smile on Liang Xi's face did not fade away, he seemed to be very drunk, but his eyes were so calm, "Lu Mingchuan, I like men."

"……I know."

"I know you are still coming out with me alone, but we are in the same room now." Liang Xi reminded, he reached out and opened another soda can, and the sizzling white foam floated up, overflowed the bottle mouth, and flowed into his mouth finger.

Lu Mingchuan thought for a long time without saying a word, and Liang Xi laughed even harder when he saw that hesitant to speak.

"What happened back then is in the past. It wasn't my fault. I won't always take that pedophile mistake to punish myself."

Lu Mingchuan didn't seem to expect that he would mention it first, and there was a momentary pause in the hand holding the aluminum can: "Really." His voice was very soft, as if he was afraid of waking up some magnificent dream.

"But, without that, would you still like boys?"

"What do you mean?" Liang Xi was stunned. He looked at Lu Mingchuan strangely, and finally he could only probe, "Do you think it's because he molested me that I twisted my mind and began to like the same sex?"

After a long silence, the autumn night wind became bleak and cold.

"Many victims are like this." Lu Mingchuan's voice was calm and reserved, and he seemed to have his own reasoning, "Have you noticed that you have become more and more dependent on me since that incident? Year after year , I have wanted to say for a long time, I hope you can come out of this matter."

"The way those homosexuals look at you is disgusting. Even when Bai Xuzhou told me that he likes you, we couldn't help but fight."

The disgust on Lu Mingchuan's face was unmistakable, and Liang Xi's brain soaked in alcohol turned blank in an instant.
