Summer in Hagawa

"What's wrong with me?" The boy's clear voice was pious, as if he was waiting for the judgment of fate.

"It's not that you're bad, Xiaotao." The man's voice was slightly low, with the elegance and mellowness of a mature man, and the determination between the lines without any room for turning around, "We are not suitable."

"You don't even give me a chance to try." The voice of the boy called Xiao Tao was choked up, "I entered this city from so far away just to..."

"Not everything can be tried, Xiao Tao." The man gently comforted him, "You will meet someone who treats you sincerely in the future, trust me."

Ye Chuan put the cigarette case back into his pocket again.But I couldn't help sneering in my heart, some people are like this, they can say the words of rejection very beautifully, as if every decision he made was for your consideration.But no matter how gorgeous the rhetoric was, he couldn't hide the fact that he was rejected. He didn't believe that the child's heartache would be relieved by his words.

"I...I like you..." The boy finally cried out.Suppressing his voice, he whimpered in a low voice.Like a wronged child.

"I know, I know." The man's voice subconsciously softened, Ye Chuan imagined him holding the poor child in his arms and patting him on the back, and suddenly felt unbearable.

The boy sobbed and asked, "Can I still see you?"

"Of course." The man comforted him softly, "You know, I've always regarded you as my younger brother..."

Ye Chuan pushed open the partition door, and looked coldly at the slender boy curled up in the arms of the tall man.He really had a pretty little face, with tears hanging down his face, like a frightened little rabbit.

The man in formal attire immediately apologized to the disturbed guests out of upbringing instinct, "I'm really sorry, we didn't notice there are other people here."

Ye Chuan ignored him.He went straight to them, stretched out his hand to pinch the boy's chin, and turned his face to face him.He should be about the same age as himself, or slightly younger.She is shorter and thinner than herself, and she looks charming when she cries.

Ye Chuan licked the tears on his face with his fingers, and said in a mocking tone, "I've been listening for a long time, but I still don't understand why you are crying."

The boy narrowed his eyes.

Ye Chuan shook his head, and pulled him out of the man's arms, "He won't accept that you are his loss, why are you crying? Are tears so worthless? Men are everywhere, hey, do you want to think about it? hit me?"

The boy's eyes widened, his face flushed red, he secretly glanced at Ye Chuan, then at the man beside him, feeling a little at a loss what to do.

Ye Chuan couldn't help shaking his head.So simple, like a rabbit, dare to pack yourself and send it out?

"And you." Ye Chuan patted the man's shoulder with the strength of alcohol, "If you really want to refuse, please be more straightforward. What do you mean we can meet each other of course, and what do you mean by being a younger brother? It's so ambiguous, just kidding." Is it very fulfilling to play?"

Before he could answer, Ye Chuan put his arms around the boy's shoulders, and led him outside without any explanation.Passing by the sink, he grabbed two paper towels and wiped the boy's face.

"You look so easy to bully like this." Ye Chuan sighed, reached out and rubbed his head, "How old are you? A high school student?"

"It's so small." The boy avoided his hand, lowered his head and said, "I'm already eighteen, a freshman."

"I came to this city for the exam alone." Ye Chuan smiled wryly and hugged him tighter, "This kind of stupid thing..."

The boy said dejectedly, "I know it's stupid."

Ye Chuan laughed, he suddenly felt that he liked this child a little bit.All his thoughts are written on his face, which can be seen through at a glance.

"You are not the only one who can do such a stupid thing. I have a friend who did it before." Ye Chuan smiled self-deprecatingly, "It's really stupid. Because the result is terrible."

The boy looked at him with wide eyes.Maybe he didn't notice any hostility on him, his expression slowly relaxed, and a layer of mist appeared in his eyes again, "I just..."

"You just like him." Ye Chuan leaned on the window sill, took out the cigarette case from his trousers and lit a cigarette for himself, "I like him so much that I don't even care about myself."

The boy pursed his lips and began to cry again.

Ye Chuan looked at him, feeling an indescribable discomfort in his heart, but he didn't know why this discomfort came from.

"what's your name?"

"Tao Yin." The young man wiped his face with his hands, but the tears kept flowing, "He... he is actually a very, very good person..."

Ye Chuan showed a bitter smile behind the smoke, "He is still a good person in your impression, you are so lucky. Unlike my friend who got entangled in the end and became an enemy."

Tao Yin raised his head and looked at him seriously for the first time.

"Am I good-looking? I'm more handsome than your nice guy?" Ye Chuan smiled wryly, "Why don't you consider me?"

Tao Yin wiped her face with a tissue that was crumpled up in her hand, and said in a low voice, "Thank you."

Ye Chuan rubbed his hair.Tao Yin's hair is thin and soft, hanging obediently on his forehead, and he looks like a very good-tempered child.Ye Chuan likes to look at his eyes, black and white are distinct, clean like a clear stream.Ye Chuan felt that when he just fell in love with that person, he must have looked at him with such a happy and shy expression.The persistent self used to be like Tao Yin, believing that in the face of feelings, as long as you fight for it, there will be results.The difference is that back then he had won a beginning, what he thought was the beginning of a relationship.It was only later that I realized that the extraordinary beginning was just the prelude to a game in the eyes of others.In the end, all efforts came to a disastrous end.

Ye Chuan stubbed out the cigarette butt on the window sill, "Do you want me to take you back?"

"I haven't got off work yet, so I can't leave." Tao Yin shook her head, "Besides, I live very close to here, so there's no need to send it off."

Only then did Ye Chuan notice that he was wearing a waiter's white shirt, and once again felt that this kid was really stupid.

"Are you still crying?"

Tao Yin shook her head, a cloud of lovely pink flew up on her face, "Thank you."

If Ye Chuan hadn't brought him out, it would have been very embarrassing to continue standing in front of that man after being rejected.

"There's nothing to thank." Ye Chuan pinched his face again, such a cute child, if he doesn't love him, he should stay away.Because the slightest bit of tenderness might rekindle the feeble hope in his heart.He couldn't believe that the good guy he had in mind didn't understand that.

Looking over Tao Yin's head, the man in formal suit was coming out of the bathroom wiping his hands.Seeing them leaning against the window, their footsteps stopped obviously.

Ye Chuan met his gaze, and unceremoniously showed a middle finger.

Back in the box, Qiao Min looked at his face very carefully, and asked slightly complaining: "Where have you been? You haven't come back for a long time? All the dishes are ready."

Ye Chuan smiled, "The alcohol is a bit strong, I stood outside for a while."

"Eat more vegetables." Li Xingxing hurriedly picked up vegetables for him, as if apologizing, "Let the kitchen make some hangover soup later, go back and have a good sleep, and you'll be fine tomorrow."

Qiao Min also told him, "I should drink less when I go out."

Ye Chuan nodded obediently, "I know, auntie."

Ye Shifei filled a bowl of soup and pushed it in front of him, and said with a smile: "Mom just told you not to live on campus, for fear of poor conditions. My house is big enough to live in. The two of you can still be companions, each other Take care."

Ye Chuan's hand holding the chopsticks froze in mid-air.He could hear the meaning of Ye Shifei's words.If he wanted it that way himself, he would say: I want you to move in with me instead of Mom telling you to move in with me.Ye Chuan felt that this was completely understandable. After all, he and Li Xingxing had just lived together, so what's the point of plugging in such a big light bulb?

"No need, auntie." Ye Chuan said with a smile, "I'm only a freshman and live outside, and it's not conducive to building a good relationship with my classmates."

Qiao Min frowned, "The school cafeteria is not nutritious. If you live together, you can cook some delicious food together. Besides eating in the cafeteria, you are eating out. How can your body bear it..."

Li Xingxing hurriedly picked up some food for her, interrupted and said, "Don't worry, auntie. Chuan'er can come back often when there is no class, and the schools on both sides are not far away, so we can see each other anytime."

Qiao Min couldn't say anything more, so she changed the topic after a few instructions.

Ye Chuan was really looking forward to the day when school started.
