keep watch

"Shen Yiyan, this is today's experimental data, I will leave it to you."

Shen Yiyan froze for a moment, a little confused, but still took it.

Tao Yan at the side heaved a sigh of relief, without even saying thank you, he turned around and circled the girl at the door: "Baby, let's go have a big meal today!"

"Tao Yan is too much. He bullied you just because he is a senior brother." Su Wenhao was angry.

"You really are, just let them bully you."

"I'm used to it." Shen Yiyan remained silent.

"Do you need help?"

"No, you can go eat." Shen Yiyan took off his gloves and rubbed his temples.

This experimental data is obviously full of errors and omissions, and it is completely unusable.

"Okay, then I'll go first." Seeing that Shen Yiyan was already calculating, Su Wenhao didn't want to disturb him, so he didn't continue to complain.

"En." Shen Yiyan nodded.

He put aside Tao Yan's experimental data and started to calculate his own.

Liu Bo called: "Yiyan, the group didn't throw away the biological waste today, please send it to the back of the science and technology building."

"Okay, teacher."

Shen Yiyan speeded up his calculations, hoping to go back early tonight.

Maybe I can meet Zhou Xingchen.

Thinking of this, Shen Yiyan raised the corners of his mouth.

By the time Shen Yiyan finished, it was already ten o'clock in the evening.

Shen Yiyan frowned, thinking dejectedly: Could he have fallen asleep so late?

The science and technology building is not far away, and it only takes 10 minutes from the laboratory.

The ink is black, and the cold wind blows slowly, making people tremble.

The animal carcasses were contained in the black packaging bag, which was heavy to lift, and there was a strong smell of blood when approached.

Shen Yiyan broke into a cold sweat.

There was still an intersection away from the science and technology building, and a bright light suddenly shot directly into the eyes from the side of the face.

Shen Yiyan blinked, but didn't see the car in front of him.

"Damn it! There's someone." Xu Kai slammed on the brakes.

Shen Yiyan took a few steps back, the garbage in his hand fell on the ground, and all the contents flowed out.

"What is this? It's disgusting." Xu Kai pursed his lips and turned his face away in disgust, "The car almost ran over me."

"Okay, Xu Kai." Zhou Xingchen pressed the man's shoulder, "I told you not to ride at night."

"I just want to try the new car..." Xu Kai grumbled.

Zhou Xingchen looked forward and was stunned: "Shen Yiyan?"

Shen Yiyan was still out of the situation, when someone called her name, she subconsciously didn't react.

"Why are you here?"

Shen Yiyan also froze when he saw the speaker's face.

Zhou Xingchen had already walked in front of him, with a smile in his eyes: "You are also studying here, so we are alumni."

"Yes..." Shen Yiyan lowered her head.

In fact, they have always been alumni, but Zhou Xingchen didn't know it.

"You... just came out of the laboratory?"

"Well, go take out the trash." Shen Yiyan nodded.

"I'm sorry." Xu Kai popped up suddenly, scratching his head in embarrassment, "I didn't know there were still people near the laboratory building so late."

"It's okay." Shen Yiyan was still immersed in the joy of meeting Zhou Xingchen, and didn't look at Xu Kai.

"What are you going to do with these things?" Zhou Xingchen asked with concern, with guilt on his face.

Shen Yiyan pondered for a moment.

"I'll go back to the laboratory to get tools to clean up." When Shen Yiyan turned to leave, his hand was grabbed.

"I'll go with you." Zhou Xingchen proposed, for some reason, he just didn't want Shen Yiyan to go back alone in the dark.

Shen Yiyan froze for a second, the warmth spread to his body through the clothes.

The difference is that my hands are as cold as the night.

"Yes." Shen Yiyan unnaturally and slowly withdrew his hand and put it back in his pocket.

The atmosphere was really awkward.

"Sorry." Zhou Xingchen subconsciously thought that Shen Yiyan was disgusted with him, and clapped his hands on his trouser legs, as if he could scatter the dust.

"Then I'll go back first." Xu Kai shouted behind him.

Along the way, the two kept a distance that was neither too close nor too far away, neither awkward nor forced.

Shen Yiyan kept his face indifferent, and glanced at the people beside him from time to time.I remember the first time I walked side by side with this person was more than ten years ago, when I only reached his shoulder.

Shen Yiyan approached cautiously.

Why is it still on the shoulder?He thought dejectedly, silently took a small step to the side.

Zhou Xingchen on the side was a little irritable, still in the time zone where Shen Yiyan disliked him, impatiently thinking of his past communication methods.

He has always been cheerful and easy-going, and seldom has embarrassing situations with others.

Shen Yiyan is a special case.

"It's here." Shen Yiyan reminded.

Under the night light, she lowered her eyes, and the unclear light shone on Shen Yiyan's cheeks, blinding the clarity in her eyes.

Shen Yiyan didn't speak all the way, did he think he thought he was dirty?

Shen Yiyan opened the door while thinking.

When the things are about to be taken.

"Is one garbage bag enough?" Zhou Xingchen asked.

At this moment Shen Yiyan looked in a daze, not knowing what he was thinking.

"Shen Yiyan?" Zhou Xingchen approached.

Shen Yiyan curled up a bunch of lazy hair, Zhou Xingchen's heart was itchy, really like a kitten, he wanted to pet it.

But all the previous signs showed that Shen Yiyan was not willing to have physical contact with her.

So he secretly suppressed the evil thoughts that had taken root.

"Shen Yiyan?" He moved a little closer.

This time Shen Yiyan heard it, and when he raised his head, the broken hair on his forehead brushed against Zhou Xingchen's lips, making Zhou Xingchen itchy.

"What's the matter?" Shen Yiyan's eyes were quiet and lively, shining like stars.

Zhou Xingchen's heart was a little confused, he saw himself in it, pure and clean, and took a few steps back.

"I'm asking if one garbage bag is enough?" Zhou Xingchen turned his back, his face was hot, and a strange feeling sprouted in his heart.

It seemed as if he would be triggered as soon as he met Shen Yiyan, even if this person didn't do anything to him.

"That's enough, let's go." Shen Yiyan had a wooden face, but he was nervous in his heart, maybe because he was too close to Zhou Xingchen just now.

When they returned to the starting point to pack up, Zhou Xingchen asked curiously, "Do you go back at this time every night?"

"Ah."

In fact, before Shen Yiyan would stay in the laboratory overnight, since he met Zhou Xingchen, he planned to go back soon.

"Why haven't I seen you in our school before?" Zhou Xingchen took the bag from Shen Yiyan's hand.He always felt that Shen Yiyan would struggle to hold the bag, so he took it consciously.

Normally, if he saw girls lifting heavy objects, he would also help them out, but today it was Shen Yiyan.

But Shen Yiyan couldn't tell what was different.

Shen Yiyan looked at Zhou Xingchen, his eyes were dim, "I don't know why."

Maybe it's because I don't care about it, so I haven't seen it. Not everyone is the same as me. If things go on like this, I only pay attention to one person's dynamics.

This person's height, language, and movements can be repeated countless times in his mind, as if engraved in his bones.

Every breath you take will be controlled by him, but when you really stand in front of him, you are just someone you just met.

Shen Yiyan didn't feel bitter in his heart.

"It's okay, anyway, we already know each other now." Zhou Xingchen laughed, "Why don't we go back together in the evening."

"Why?" Shen Yiyan stopped, unable to understand Zhou Xingchen's intentions, and rubbed the corner of his clothes with the hand hanging on his waist.

"It's late at night, it's not safe to go back alone." Zhou Xingchen threw the trash into the bucket and waved his hand, "And I study so late in the library every day."

"En." With a muffled sound, it seemed that Shen Yiyan lacked confidence.

Zhou Xingchen looked at the man's bluish-white face hidden in the ink, and was a little moved.

I don't know if I agree?

After a while.

"Alright." Shen Yiyan raised the corners of his mouth.

Is this agreed?Zhou Xingchen felt an indescribable secret joy.

He lowered his head slightly, silently pulled into the distance between the two, and happily raised the corners of his mouth.

Shen Yiyan was immersed in the joy of being able to go back together, and did not notice the shortening of the distance between them.

The shadows of the two under the lamp got closer, as if they were cuddling each other.

After waiting for a while, the bus came, Zhou Xingchen asked Shen Yiyan to get on first, and he got on second.

When he got in the car, he saw Shen Yiyan standing by the window next to the middle door, and there was an empty seat below, which was obviously reserved for himself.

Zhou Xingchen froze, walked over, grabbed the handrail next to Shen Yiyan: "Sit down."

"What about you?" Shen Yiyan asked.

"I am comfortable standing." Zhou Xingchen said with a little pride.

Shen Yiyan pursed her lips and sat down: "Give me the bag."

"Oh." Zhou Xingchen obediently took off his bag.

This bag is actually not heavy, but it feels inexplicably at ease when it is pressed on his lap, Shen Yiyan lowers his head slightly, and the tip of his nose can rub against the collar of the bag.

After getting off the car, Zhou Xingchen called Shen Yiyan to stop, "Did you not eat?"

Shen Yiyan nodded.

Downstairs there is a noodle shop, which is often open until midnight, and now there is a strong fragrance coming from it, which is fascinating.

But in order to save money, Shen Yiyan usually doesn't go there to spend.

"Then you wait for me." Zhou Xingchen ran to the noodle shop and brought two wontons when he came back.

"This is for you." Zhou Xingchen smiled, "I remember I invited you to dinner last time."

"Thank you." Shen Yiyan took it, feeling a warm current in his heart.

"How do you usually handle dinner? You have to stay in the laboratory so late." Zhou Xingchen asked.

"Usually I don't eat it when it's too late." Shen Yiyan teased, but actually he didn't eat it. Before staying in the laboratory overnight, he thought it was troublesome and he didn't like to interrupt the thinking of calculation, so he chose not to eat it.

"Then how?" Zhou Xingchen looked down at the man's thin body, and couldn't help frowning.

"I'm used to it." Shen Yiyan's tone was indifferent, as if he didn't care about his body, but only cared about the experiment, Zhou Xingchen felt more and more uncomfortable when he heard it.

"Or I'll take care of your dinner in the future, and take it as a reward for accompanying me home."

"Trouble." Shen Yiyan frowned, he never liked letting others pay for him, let alone Zhou Xingchen.

To Zhou Xingchen's ears, this troublesome sentence seemed impatient, and he was at a loss for words for a while.

The topic of the two became cold.Zhou Xingchen was a little irritable.

Arrived at home.

"Thank you tonight." Shen Yiyan said suddenly, "Goodbye."

Just entered the door.

And Zhou Xingchen also nodded, looking slightly unhappy.

Shen Yiyan who entered the house let out a heavy breath.

Rubbing the part that was in contact with Zhou Xingchen not long ago, it seemed to be getting hotter and brighter, and it trembled.

Shen Yiyan squatted down, buried her head in her hands, and rubbed her face little by little, as if someone was stroking her face.

There will be no more nightmares tonight, Shen Yiyan thought with relief.

The dark night is a tenderness that can drown people, long and cumbersome.

Just like you to me, it is the antidote to blind sleep.

"Did you know that person yesterday?" Xu Kai shook his legs carelessly, turning the pages chatteringly, not thinking about the book at all.

"New neighbor." Zhou Xingchen rubbed the page number with his fingertips.

"The thing in his hand scared me to death, and I had a nightmare last night." Xu Kai exhaled, trembling when he thought of the shocking scene.

"What's the name of that brother, next time I see him, I will definitely take a detour."

"Shen Yiyan." Zhou Xingchen paused for a few seconds.

"Shen Yiyan, where did you hear this name?" Xu Kai twitched his chin in thought, and said after a while, "Fuck, he can't be...is that Shen Yiyan?"

"You know him?" Zhou Xingchen closed the book now, feeling a little impatient.

"I know! There is a blogger in the forum who has been complaining about him." Xu Kai pulled out the interface. "look."

Zhou Xingchen couldn't help frowning.

TY: Real-name verification, SYY is gay, and is supported by a financial backer. He often goes to gay bars and does not return at night. The following pictures prove it: a boy with a figure similar to Shen Yiyan got out of a luxury car and walked towards a gay bar. Can't see the face clearly.

T: I’m a senior in the same lab as SYY, I don’t know if he’s gay or not, but based on how we’ve gotten along these days, I’ll tell everyone that SYY is definitely not someone to be messed with...he’ll stay in the lab every night , I don’t know what to do specifically, anyway, every time I go back in the morning, I can find that there are a few animals in the laboratory missing... Although the animals raised in the laboratory will die after the experiment, they are still a life, so they cannot be trampled on like this.This guy is a cold-blooded animal in disguise!

Y: Another leak...SYY came in through the back door...and it was the back door~

WH: It's just made up!He is not such a person at all, you are too much!

TYY: I don't agree with every word you say, but I swear to the death to defend your right to speak, passerby A~

"Lend me my computer." After reading it, Zhou Xingchen pushed Xu Kai, his face became more and more gloomy.

"Ah?" Xu Kai didn't know why, but he still handed over the computer.

Zhou Xingchen took over the computer and started some operations. After a while, the entire webpage was blacked out.

"Don't look at dirty things, you will become stupid." Zhou Xingchen left the computer with an unhappy expression.

"You blacked them all out." Xu Kai took the computer and tried to open the previous webpage but couldn't open it no matter what.

"Shen Yiyan is not that kind of person." Zhou Xingchen said.

I don't know why, seeing Shen Yiyan being described by these vicious words, Zhou Xingchen's heart felt as if a wall had been slapped on it, and it was covered in dust.

Irritability intertwined like a cloud.

"How long have you known him?" Xu Kai asked.

"Two days." When he said it, Zhou Xingchen was inexplicably depressed, and something was clamoring.

Shen Yiyan has never been like someone he just met, he always feels that there is some kind of inseparable connection between the two of them.

"Only two days, you concluded that he is not such a person?"

"En." Zhou Xingchen nodded.

"Okay, okay, I'm convinced." Xu Kai shrugged, with a nonchalant expression on his face: "Anyway, it has nothing to do with me."
