Xuan and Meng

Eating barbecue is the highlight, and several people didn't eat lunch, they were already hungry.

Shi Yuan threw in a piece of solid alcohol and lit the charcoal fire.Spread tinfoil, pour oil, and Shan Qing put a few chicken wings first, and the raw chicken wings made a slight noise as soon as the tinfoil was attached.

It wasn't very familiar at first, so Ning Du and Shi Yuan agreed to give the food to Xuan He and Shan Qing, two foodies, to eat first.They were already prepared for not having enough to eat.But I didn't expect that the carbon fire will become more and more powerful, and the cooking will be faster and faster.The meat is tantalizingly aromatic with a spice of chilli and cumin.

Xuanhe had roasted food before, but most of them were burnt, so he just gnawed them with salt.It's much worse than this.He'd always thought that eating food grilled was the worst way to do it.

"I brought beer." Shi Yuan took out two dozen draft beers, Shan Qing cheered, took it quickly, opened it with a puff, and took a sip.

"Cool!"

Each took a can, and Ning Du reminded Xuanhe, "This is bubbly, just like the Coke you drank last time, so drink it slowly."

"Hmm~Okay." Xuan He took a sip carefully, "Poof—" he still choked, the taste of beer was too strange for him.The small face twisted, and the tongue stuck out, "It's so hard to drink."

Shan Qing looked at him with disgust, "Why don't you even know how to drink beer."

Ning Du took out a tissue and wiped Xuan He's mouth, "If you don't like it, don't drink it."

Xuan He shook his head, tried his best to take another sip, swallowed it with a frown, and looked at Ning Du again, "It's okay."

Ning Du had nothing to do with him, "Then drink less."

"Ah."

The barbecue lasted until eight o'clock, when all the food was eaten.Shi Yuan is very fortunate to have the foresight, and the charcoal belt is enough.

"Brother, can you go out with me for a walk?" Shan Qing and Ning Du said when they went to take out the trash.

"Anything to say?"

"Ah."

When Shan Qing is serious, it usually means that he really has something to do.Ning Du sent a text message to Shi Yuan and Xuan He, and said to Shan Qing, "Let's go."

The two walked along the lake.The lake looked terrible at night, a black water.On the contrary, the moon and stars in the sky are so bright that they cannot be seen in the urban area.

There are only a few dimly lit houses around, and birdsong can be heard quietly.

"I've always wanted to ask you, what are you going to do with Xuanhe?"

"What do you mean?"

"He can't live with you forever."

Ning Du was silent for a long time, "Dan Qing, have you noticed that Xuan He is different from ordinary people?"

"It's not the same."

"Xuan and him... are orphans, with no relatives in this world. They wandered alone for a long time, and suffered from paranoia. I taught him for a long time, and he slowly adapted to this society."

Shan Qing digested this passage, "Then...why did you take him in?"

"Because..." Ning Du breathed out, "I have a fate with him, so I can't leave him alone. If I leave him alone, do you think he can survive in society with his character? And... Ning Nuo If alive, it would be about his age."

Shan Qing pursed her lips, she didn't expect Ning Du to mention Ning Nuo, they were young, they used to study and grow up together.Taking advantage of her age, Shan Qing bullied him at every turn.Now, I can't even remember his face clearly.Going forward alone, he left him where he was.

The last time they saw Ning Nuo, they were still bickering.The reason was extremely naive: Ning Nuo didn't give him the snacks he received.Ning Nuo was so sick that he couldn't even eat snacks and was unwilling to give them to him.Shan Qing has been cautious since she was a child, and she got angry with him because of this matter.

However, he never saw Ning Nuo again, and those snacks were finally given to him by his aunt.

"Brother, I'm sorry."

Ning Du didn't expect to be greeted with an apology.Shan Qing hangs her head, unable to see clearly.

"But..." came Shan Qing's dull voice, "I'm worried about you..."

"What about us?"

"The way you get along is so weird. You just raised him as a daughter-in-law."

Ning Du paused for a moment, "What are you talking about!"

"Brother, didn't you realize it yourself? Do you think I've been joking? I'm afraid you will become like that." Shan Qing looked at Ning Du, the black eyes reflecting the light.

Ning Du's heart tightened, he remembered the kiss he couldn't restrain that day.

"No." His throat was tight.

Back at the camp, Xuan He swooped over as usual, looking at him uneasily.

And Shi Yuan was obviously not too happy, he pulled Shan Qing over and looked him up and down, "Don't wander around if you have nothing to do, what if something happens here."

"It's okay." Shan Qing muttered.

"No. Don't run away." Shi Yuan said beyond doubt, isn't the lesson from last time not enough!

Although Shan Qing relies on Shi Yuan, she is still a little afraid of him.He is different from Ning Du, he has a personality that says one thing and another thing.Most of the time, Shi Yuan pampered and let him go, but some things were strictly controlled.

"Understood." Shan Qing yawned, "I want to sleep."

There is no objection to dividing the tents, Ning Du and Xuan share one room, and Shan Qing shares one room with Shi Yuan.

After washing up briefly, and returning to the tent, Xuanhe had already fallen asleep.Ning Du sat aside and looked at him carefully. He was sleeping soundly, just like when Ning Du first saw him.Shan Qing's words hit her heart.

He treats Hyun Ho really differently.But I can't control it.

Ning Du leaned over and touched his face, it was smooth and white, the result of more than two months of raising it.The flesh is also growing, and it grows quietly, and it is not so pleasant to hug recently.

Xuanhe, like a dharma name, whispered the name in his mouth.Ning Du couldn't trust such a person, as if he was born to be loved.I really can't imagine how he will leave him one day, marry a wife and have children.

Ning Du squeezed his fist and lay down on his side.

Here, the four fields are quiet.

Shan Qing also couldn't fall asleep because of the short conversation just now, and Shi Yuan's breathing was right next to his ears.Evenly stretched.

"Brother Ayuan? Are you asleep?" He probed softly.

"Huh?" Shi Yuan turned over and faced him.

"Talk to me."

"I said so much during the day, and I haven't finished yet." Shi Yuan chuckled lightly, his eyes were as deep as pools of water after taking off his glasses, and Shan Qing felt a little uncomfortable being stared at by him so closely.

"Ah."

"What do you want to talk about?"

"Brother Ayuan, do you hate homosexuality?"

Shi Yuan was taken aback for a moment, his first reaction was that the events of that day were still lingering in his mind, and it was hard to let go. "I have no objection."

"I didn't object at all." Shan Qing narrowed her eyes, "Before that time."

"Okay, don't think about it." Shi Yuan wrapped his arms around him and patted him on the back, "It's over, no one will hurt you anymore."

But he could never let go of that matter for the rest of his life.

"I think Brother Ning Du likes Xuan He." Shan Qing expressed his concern.

Shi Yuan was silent for a while, Ning Du's every move towards Xuan He was indeed too ambiguous, and Xuan He was extremely dependent on him.If they really love each other, to be honest, Shi Yuan wouldn't find it strange.However, he had known Ning Du for five years, and before Xuan He appeared, he could never have imagined that Ning Du would do this to a boy.

"You don't like Xuanhe?"

"Not really, it's cute and easy to bully."

"So, he has his own judgment on Ning Du's own affairs. If he really likes Xuanhe, it's his own choice."

"No." Shan Qing immediately objected, "My aunt will only have him as a son, so I definitely don't agree. Besides, homosexuality is so disgusting, I don't believe my brother will become such a person."

"Tell you about my experience of eating mangoes." Shi Yuan hesitated for a long time before opening his mouth, "The first mango I ate was when I was very young. I thought mangoes tasted like this, so I never ate this fruit when I grew up. I didn’t know that mangoes were so delicious until I lost a bet with Ning Du and was forced to eat mangoes once.”

"I know how you feel, but not all homosexuals are like that. At least Ning Du won't become that kind of person."

"So, you also think that my brother must like Xuanhe?"

"I don't know. But I won't object."

Shan Qing frowned and thought for a long time before rolling the quilt for the last time and turning over.

"Sleep."
