to deceive

Chisu, that's enough, Jiang Xiaoran can guess anything with the words of the two of them.

Jiang Xiaoran continued: "Mr. Hou, I guess the reason why you don't come out and go on a blind date is probably to reject people like me and your brother?"

Hou Shujian didn't speak, but gave Jiang Xiaoran a cold look.

"If you want to refuse, you can do it a little bit harder and find a human form to marry—but you can't do it, so why should I give up? Do you think that if you don't come out, others will think you are not in the closet? ?”

Hou Shujian suddenly felt tired: "Do I have to say clearly that yes I like men but I just don't like you?"

"I'm not asking you to do this to me, but can't you be honest with your brother? You think you don't want to hurt him, but you are actually hurting him. If you said it earlier, he might not have let go for so many years." No more. You thought you were thinking about the other party, but in fact—”

Jiang Xiaoran smiled sadly, "You just don't want to be the villain who said no. But since you don't have that kind of affection for your brother, why bother to reject other people's affection? Doesn't this give him hope again? After so many years , Mr. Hou," Jiang Xiaoran sighed, "You have been deceiving yourself and others."

Hou Shujian looked up at Jiang Xiaoran, and smiled: "Don't say it, you seem to know me and my brother very well." He tried to calm himself down, but his hands clenched into fists, "Yes, you know a lot, I And thank you for not using the word 'selfish' to describe me just now - although I think that's the most appropriate word."

Jiang Xiaoran opened his mouth, Hou Shujian raised his hand to stop him: "Listen to me first, I finally had so much to say."

He held his chin and thought for a while, "Just now you asked me why I don't like my brother but still refuse others. There is no logic in it. I don't like my brother. Do I have to meet one and like the other?"

Jiang Xiaoran said stubbornly: "You have a good impression of me, I'm sure it's not my self-indulgence."

Hou Shujian lowered his eyes, raised his eyebrows but frowned, and said in a low voice: "Well, you are indeed right about this, Mr. Jiang. Then, as a benefit, I will tell you why I rejected you. I wonder how much Ye Xifeng told you?"

"All. In addition, I have met your brother, so I know who the friend you are talking about is."

"That's good, so I won't have to repeat it. Actually, I missed one thing when I told Ye Xifeng—" Hou Shujian had a subtle pleasure on his face, "Do you want to guess what it is first?"

Jiang Xiaoran said: "Mr. Hou, I don't want to hear you expose your scars, you..."

Hou Shujian interrupted him: "Listen, listen, after you hear it, you will know how selfish I am." He looked casual, "Actually, I knew that my brother liked me very early on, and the solution I came up with was The way is to make him mistakenly think that I like girls and just give up—I really haven’t made any progress in all these years—in fact, I just took advantage of my childhood sweetheart. Later they dated, and I’m very glad—even though I knew about their relationship There may be some problems. So I will have retribution later."

Come to think of it, the three of them ended up being nothing fun.Hou Shujian sighed, "But I got An Chen anyway, and what my brother got was a lifetime of guilt towards me. If I hadn't pretended to be stupid at the beginning, these things would never have happened later. "

"Since my brother has a lifetime of guilt, isn't it fair for me to repay him my lifetime of loneliness?"

"According to what you said, the fairest reward is probably that you and your brother are together." Jiang Xiaoran said calmly.

Hou Shujian laughed dumbfounded: "This matter can't be forced."

"If he knew about it, he wouldn't want you to die alone."

"As I said just now, I'm very selfish, so of course I can give whatever I want in return."

Jiang Xiaoran, who had been peaceful all night, finally frowned, "But what if..."

"If there is no if, he won't know. Even if he knows, it's useless, after all - I also have guilt, it's not that he said 'I forgive you', I can immediately turn around and feel relaxed." Hou Shujian finished speaking He had never said anything bad to anyone, and he felt better for no reason. He smiled and said, "It's really late, Mr. Jiang, go back and rest."

"I will not give up."

Hou Shujian smiled helplessly like looking at a child: "Okay, I won't give up."

"I hope you won't fire me for rejecting my confession." Jiang Xiaoran was a little nervous when speaking.

"No, An Chen likes you very much."

Hou Shujian thought, I actually like you too, but it would be great if you could not like me.

"Then, Mr. Hou, see you on the eighth."

"Goodbye."

Hou Shujian walked to the end of the road in front of him, and looked sideways when he turned a corner. Jiang Xiaoran hadn't left yet, standing there looking at him from a distance.

The insects hiding in the grass rustled, and Hou Shujian heard many faint insects mingling together, hovering faintly between the two of them.

Seemingly aware of Hou Shujian's gaze, Jiang smiled and waved his hand, then turned and left silently.

Hou Shujian casually took out the key to open the door, only to find that the door of the house was unlocked.This is to wait for yourself?Or did you just forget to lock it?He didn't pay attention to safety too much... Pushing open the door, the light in the entrance was reserved for himself, Hou Shujian changed his shoes, raised his hand and turned off the light, leaving only dark shadows and cold moonlight in the room.

Hou Shujian took a shower on the first floor first.He closed his eyes while washing his hair, and inadvertently thought of Jiang Xiaoran's expression when he spoke. The other party had a hearty smile when he confessed. It's just that there seems to be some sadness in it.

Hou Shujian shook his head, as if he could get Jiang Xiaoran out of his mind.

He is still young, and his feelings come and go quickly, and he will give up in a short time.Thinking of the subsequent scene, Hou Shujian did not feel any strange sadness or regret. He likes Jiang Xiaoran, so if the other party can come out of the wrong path, he will be happy for the other party.Jiang Xiaoran will definitely find a better boyfriend, it shouldn't be him.

However, as I get older, my relationship should go slower, right?After a few more years, I might not like someone anymore, and at that time, just quietly put him in the corner of my heart.

After taking a shower, Shujian didn't dare to blow his hair, because the blower was too loud, and he was afraid of waking up his family, so he just found a towel to wrap his hair.After that, he found Fengyoujing in the living room, and counted the mosquito bites on his body, two on his left arm, three on his right arm, one on each of his left and right ankles, and one on his neck...Hou Shujian was about to cry.

Mr. Jiang, it would be nice if you could talk in the car?I also blamed myself, and then I couldn't stop the chatterbox once it opened...Knowing that I was attracting mosquitoes, I still kept talking there without moving.

After applying the essential oil, Hou Shujian tiptoed back to the bedroom. It was already late at night.

Hou Anchen lay obediently on the bed, Hou Shujian lay down on the bed softly, saw Hou Anchen turned over, did not wake up, he was relieved, then opened his eyes and found that he was not sleepy.

Hou Shujian simply took the charging phone on the bedside table and swiped Weibo.

When he saw the WeChat icon on his phone, Hou Shujian didn't think about asking Ye Xifeng why he told him about him, but now he was too lazy to rush over to question Ye Xifeng aggressively, after thinking about it, it didn't cause any harm anyway The consequences, let him go.

Hou Shujian felt that it was necessary to post a Weibo post to commemorate what happened tonight, so he solemnly posted: Mosquito bag*8.After posting, I started to read Weibo on the homepage.

After reading it for half an hour, Hou Shujian began to feel sleepy.He casually refreshed the homepage, and saw that the first weibo was posted by Jiang Xiaoran.

"Mosquito bag*2. Probably the only luck tonight."

Hou Shujian felt a little drowsy running away.

He pouted, quickly put the phone on the bedside table, turned over and closed his eyes.

The next morning Hou Shujian was woken up by Hou Anchen. He opened his eyes in a daze, and Hou Anchen's small body was dangling on top of him, "Dad is getting up soon! Didn't you say you will be going home today~"

It's useless for your father if I wake up. Hou Shujian slept for a few hours, his eyes were so sore that he couldn't open his head, and his head was heavy and dizzy. He asked, "...Your uncle woke up?"

"I woke up much earlier than you." Hou Chisu pushed the door open and came in, and laughed out loud when he saw Hou Shujian, "Hey, you look like this now, hahahahaha..."

Hou Chisu sat up, stretched out his hand to touch his head, and touched the hairy hair on his hand.After washing his hair yesterday, he went to bed while it was still wet, and wrapped it in a towel. His hair was not short, but now it is blown up, which is even more terrifying.He hugged Hou Anchen off his body, "Dad, go wash your face first, ah."

"You should wash your hair by the way, hahahahahaha."

Hou Shujian glanced at Hou Jisu expressionlessly, and after expressing the meaning of "you idiot" with his eyes, he got out of bed and washed his hair... No, he went to wash his face.

After getting into Hou Chisu's car, Hou Shujian fell asleep immediately, and was woken up by Hou Anchen before getting off the car.In the middle, Hou Chisu and Hou Anchen went to the market. Seeing Hou Shujian who looked like he could sleep until the end of the world, they simply locked him in the car.

When going upstairs, Hou Chisu said: "Would you like to go to a concert?"
