Ceaseless

Nie Jingze's finger between his eyebrows only stayed for a moment.

The other party quickly withdrew his hand, and Su Xi noticed it, and took the towel off his head.When I looked up again, I saw that Nie Jingze had walked back to the door, and before going out, I turned my face to glance at him, "After drying your hair, hang up the towel."

This was the last conversation Su Xi had with Nie Jingze before falling asleep.

He sat on the bed and was distracted for a moment, and the scene when the other party told him that there were no bath towels at home appeared in his mind.He remembered Nie Jingze's appearance when he was still studying a few years ago.From all aspects, the other party is actually not a very bad person.

He has a very good relationship with the classmates around him, he will help his roommates chase girls, and he will apologize when he misunderstands someone, and he has always drawn a clear line with girls and never flirted with them.

Nie Jingze just used all his bad temper on him.

When he opened his eyes in the morning, Su Xi recalled what happened last night, and still felt a little overwhelmed.He got up and changed into his own clothes, folded the pajamas and quilt neatly and placed them on the bedside, and then opened the door and walked outside.

There are two simple breakfasts facing each other on the dining table.Nie Jingze was sitting at the table looking down at his phone, with a small boxy box in his hand.Without raising his head, he said, "There are new toothbrushes and cups in the bathroom."

Su Xi said thank you, and turned into the bathroom to brush his teeth and wash his face.Next to the sink, Nie Jingze's usual face towel was removed, and there seemed to be a brand new towel hanging there.Su Xi stretched out his hand to touch it, and the towel was dry.He didn't use the towel prepared by the other party, but turned on the faucet, bent slightly towards the sink, folded his hands together, picked up a handful of water and splashed it on his face, and washed it casually.

When he came out of the bathroom, Nie Jingze was still looking at his phone.

When Su Xi approached the dining table, he noticed from the corner of his eye that the other party seemed to be watching a video over and over again.Just looking at it from his angle, the phone screen is pitch-black, and the content in it can't be seen clearly.He didn't have the slightest thought of prying into the other party's privacy, and walked around the other party without squinting.

Sensing his approach, Nie Jingze put the phone face down on the table and never picked it up again.He asked Su Xi to sit down and have breakfast, with an undeniable tone in his tone.With his left hand, he picked up the square box at hand and fiddled with it very casually.

Su Xi took a sip of the soy milk in the glass, and glanced at the square box in Nie Jingze's hand.When you look at it up close, it looks like a box for decoration.He remembered the watch he picked out for the other party in the mall a few days ago, but his memory of the pattern of the packaging box that the staff behind the counter took out was a little fuzzy.

Su Xi put down the cup in his hand, and calmly mentioned the thing in his memory that had nothing to do with him: "When I was with Zhong Qing, I never saw him wearing a watch. Last time you asked me to help him choose the watch." Haven't you given a watch yet? Or," he paused, "you gave it to him, and he doesn't like it?"

Hearing this, Nie Jingze suddenly raised his eyes and looked deeply at him.

Seeing that the other party didn't answer, Su Xi thought for a while and said, "I told you. I don't have the same preferences as him. He probably wouldn't like the watch I picked."

Nie Jingze finally interrupted him, but he said concisely, "No."

Su Xi looked slightly puzzled.

Nie Jingze lowered his eyebrows, "I didn't buy that watch for him."

At first, it was just an excuse that he made up without much thought, but after he bought the watch, he kept it in the corner of his home. He neither looked for his love again, nor casually changed hands with others.Even when Shen Sui entered the door and played with the watch while joking, he felt a little unhappy for no reason.

It's just a watch. In the past, when did he value these things so much.

He didn't understand it at the time, but when he saw the video saved in his phone and figured it out, he drove back immediately, took out the box containing the watch from the corner of the sofa, and put it away carefully.

The two have different ideas.

Su Xi listened to his words, but completely thought of another path.

Thinking about these days, I haven't seen Nie Jingze's car downstairs in the rental house again.And from the usual talk about work, he never heard anything related to Nie Jingze mentioned by the other party, so he knew it clearly.It was only when Nie Jingze's 3-minute enthusiasm on Zhong Qing finally subsided, and he turned his attention to others.

Personally speaking, he is more willing to accept the outcome of this matter.At least from now on, whether Nie Jingze wants to kiss that person next to the car downstairs, or wants to let the love flow naturally and spend the night at that person's house, Su Xi will never see it with his own eyes.

Out of sight, out of mind.

Probably, what the other party did when they asked him to stay last night left a slight trace in his heart.Sitting down to eat breakfast face to face with the other party like this now also gave him a subtle illusion.For a moment, Su Xi wished extremely selfishly that the other party should treat feelings the same way he treats Zhong Qing or other people now, and that he would never meet someone he really likes in his life.

In the next second, he came back to his senses from Nie Jingze's slight sound.He just stayed at Nie Jingze's house for one night and wore his pajamas once.After eating breakfast, he would get up and leave immediately.

Regarding Nie Jingze's matter, he actually had no position.

He can't prevent the other party from meeting someone he really likes in the future, he can only control himself to stay away from the other party's life, and don't ever see Nie Jingze give his heart.

Su Xi drank the soy milk in the cup, and didn't reach out to touch the sandwich on the plate.He stood up abruptly, and when he raised his eyes, he noticed that Nie Jingze was still holding the square box in his hand, and his dark eyes were looking straight at him, as if he was about to say something, but he suddenly interrupted him.

He pursed his lips.

Nie Jingze turned his eyes away from his face, put down the box in his hand, "Have you finished eating?"

Su Xi left from the table with calm eyes, "Thank you for your breakfast, I'm going back."

Nie Jingze then got up, walked past him to the porch, "I'll see you off."

The two changed their shoes one after the other and went out, but they remained silent.When getting into the car, Su Xi reached out to pull the door of the rear seat.Nie Jingze looked displeased, and opened the co-pilot's door for him, "Sit in the front."

He didn't insist, and bent down to sit in the co-pilot according to his words.

There is very little traffic on the streets in the early morning, and the traffic lights at the intersections along the way are constantly turning green.The speed of the car was neither fast nor slow, but it arrived at Su Xi's place very quickly.Nie Jingze parked the car in the open space in front of the unit building, Su Xi turned his head to thank him, unbuckled his seat belt and opened the door to get out of the car.

During the whole process, Nie Jingze kept his eyes on his face thoughtfully, but didn't say anything.

After Su Xi got out of the car, when passing in front of the car, Nie Jingze unbuckled his seat belt, opened the driver's door and got out of the car, stood by the car and called his name: "Su Xi."

Su Xi paused, followed his voice and looked at him, "What else is there?"

Nie Jingze raised his eyebrows and said nothing, just raised his chin slightly towards him, "Come here."

Su Xi paused slightly, turned around and walked towards him.

The other party took a quick step forward, raised his hand to grab the collar of his coat and pulled it forward gently, pulling him in front of him.The distance between the two is extremely close, as long as Su Xi raises his chin slightly, the tip of his nose can touch Nie Jingze's lips.

Nie Jingze didn't let go, but narrowed his eyes slightly and fixed his gaze on him, "I didn't buy the watch for Zhong Qing, nor did I buy it for anyone else. I just used Zhong Qing as a cover."

He finished speaking slowly, and when he let go of his hand, his fingertips seemed to be intentional or unintentional, stroking across Su Xi's collarbone.

Su Xi froze in place.

Nie Jingze didn't stay any longer, turned around and returned to the car, backed up and left.

Su Xi turned around and walked towards the corridor entrance of the unit building in silence.

He was vaguely aware that what Nie Jingze did from last night to this morning did not seem to give him any illusions.The perceptions he received are all real.But in just a few days, Nie Jingze's attitude towards him changed drastically.

He didn't have much joy, only doubts on his face and loss in his heart.

He lifted his leg up the first step of the stairs, counting silently from the number one to the number nine.When his legs stepped on the last step of the stairs, he had already thought about every possibility in his mind, except that he avoided the easiest to think of but also the least likely one with almost no thought. kind.
