Married Men [Rebirth]

The water droplets left a circle of water marks on the door, Shi Yu opened the door and walked in.

The room was dark, Shi Yu tried to turn on the light, but there was no response, it must be a power outage.

Lihua sat up listlessly from her nest, meowed coquettishly, then turned her head and sneezed.

Shi Yu squatted down and touched the little raccoon's head. It may be that there are too many people feeding in the store recently. The little raccoon has eaten up his stomach, and he looks like a da-da all day. Shi Yu feeds it After taking the medicine, it seems to be better.

A drop of water just fell on the little raccoon's head, and the little raccoon shook his head, looking straight at Shi Yu with a pair of round eyes.

The young man lowered his eyes halfway, and couldn't see the emotion in his eyes clearly. He could only see the corners of his tightly pursed lips drooping slightly, showing a bit of seriousness and entanglement.

The scene I saw just now lingered in my mind.

Tang Chongjin is a normal man, he will have his own relationships and his own world.

And I... have nothing to worry about, nothing to worry about.

As a friend, he should support Tang Chongjin instead of feeling so lost.

but--

He is still sad.

Shi Yu closed his eyes abruptly, buried his face in his palms, he could feel his breathing, the rain hadn't stopped, and the windows were being slammed loudly.

That trace of fear gradually swept up from the bottom of my heart.

He hates rainy days, darkness, and being alone in a closed room.

It reminds him of the past he doesn't want to look back on.

From the moment he returned to this world, he seemed to be relying too much on Tang Chongjin.

He tied Tang Chongjin in his own world, but forgot that Tang Chongjin is also a human being, and he has his own affairs to deal with.

For Tang Chongjin, he is just a friend who grew up together.

Can help, but will not entangle, and will not regard oneself as everything.

Shi Yu sat on the ground with his knees bent, and embraced himself, as if he had shrunk himself into a shell.

He's too arrogant, Shi Yu thought, as if something stroked across his heart, it didn't hurt, but it was painful to scratch his heart and lungs.

The phone lay quietly beside Shi Yu.

Tang Chongjin forgot about him.

Shi Yu suddenly wanted to cry, his eyes were sour and dry, but he was very dry.

Little Lihua didn't know what happened to Shi Yu, she just rubbed Shi Yu's leg, then leaned obediently beside Shi Yu, curling herself into a ball.

Only the sound of the noisy rain outside was left in his ears, and Shi Yu suddenly realized that he might be a heretic.

Or maybe, the rebirth was simply a dream.

"Dong dong dong."

Suddenly there was a knock on the door, and Shi Yu trembled all over, as if he had been frightened by some kind, he suddenly raised his head and looked towards the door.

When there was no response, someone outside knocked on the door again.

Shi Yu didn't move, just stared at the door with wide eyes, unblinking.

There were some rustling sounds outside the door, and then the sound of a key opening the door.

The light from the corridor suddenly shone into the room, Shi Yu couldn't help squinting his eyes, and saw a hazy figure standing at the door.

"Yu Yu?" Tang Chongjin saw clearly the drenched young man in the room, his pupils shrank slightly, and before he had time to say anything, he walked in and knelt down in front of Shi Yu.

Shi Yu moved his lips, his eyes were full of disbelief, and he didn't speak.

Seeing Shi Yu's pale face, Tang Chongjin felt guilty uncontrollably, "Sorry, my phone is turned off, and I haven't been able to contact you. I ran into something temporarily, so I delayed the time."

Under Tang Chongjin's sight, those negative emotions that enveloped Shi Yu burst open like broken glass at this moment.

Tang Chongjin was so uncomfortable that he couldn't breathe, he just reached out and hugged Shi Yu, "I'm sorry."

Shi Yu's eye circles turned red suddenly, and he turned his head away.

Perhaps since returning to this world, he has not settled down. He grasped Tang Chongjin, as if grasping the last bit of truth.

Only where Tang Chongjin exists can he feel safe.

"I'm fine." Shi Yu said in a low voice, lowered his head and pushed Tang Chongjin away.

Looking at Shi Yu who was obviously in a bad mood, Tang Chongjin also knew that it was not suitable to say more at this moment, so he held Shi Yu's hand, "Go take a bath first, don't catch a cold."

"En." Shi Yu nodded, and stood up silently.

Little Lihua glanced at Shi Yu, shook off the wet fur on her body, got into her nest, and fell asleep again.

Tang Chongjin stroked his hair, feeling remorse for the first time.

Tried to turn on the lights, only to find that the power went out.

Shi Yu was already about to take a bath, Tang Chongjin held Shi Yu back, "Your fuse must have blown out, go to my place first."

Shi Yu nodded, "En."

So good.

Tang Chongjin looked at Shi Yu, thinking so.

He would rather Shi Yu lose his temper with him, but being so well-behaved now makes him feel even more uncomfortable.

Shi Yu took the change of clothes and was taken home by Tang Chongjin.

After helping Shi Yu adjust the hot water, Tang Chongjin let Shi Yu into the bathroom.

Hearing the sound of water coming from the bathroom, Tang Chongjin sat silently on the sofa for a while, as if he was thinking about something, or just in a daze.

After coming over for a while, Tang Chongjin stood up and went to the kitchen.

When Shi Yu came out, he smelled ginger soup. Tang Chongjin came out from the kitchen and smiled, "I made ginger soup for you, come and have a bowl."

Shi Yu responded, and took the bowl from Tang Chongjin, feeling a little awkward, "...Thank you."

Seeing Shi Yu's wet hair, Tang Chongjin sighed, "Go and sit on the sofa first, and I'll blow your hair for you."

"No, it will be done in a while." Shi Yu said.

"No." Tang Chongjin said, and turned to get the hair dryer.

Shi Yu paused, then sat down on the sofa.

The ginger soup in his hand was very warm, Shi Yu watched Tang Chongjin come over with a hair dryer, and unconsciously rubbed the edge of the porcelain bowl with his fingers.

The warm wind blew past his head, Shi Yu squinted his eyes, and in the next second, he felt a hand passing through his hair, and Shi Yu's back stiffened.

They sat very close to each other, and that clear, green bamboo-like breath was very close at hand.

Tang Chongjin looked at Shi Yu's lowered head, the exposed slender neck, and the completely undefended back, with a slightly familiar gaze.

As long as he stretched out his hand, he could completely wrap the young man into his arms.

The atmosphere was quiet, Shi Yu lowered his head and drank ginger soup slowly, the warm air made him drowsy.

It wasn't until Tang Chongjin turned off the hair dryer and stood up from behind him that Shi Yu came back to his senses.

Tang Chongjin touched Shi Yu's hair again to confirm that it was completely dry, and then nodded in satisfaction, "Okay."

Shi Yu watched Tang Chongjin walk away, and something flickered on Tang Chongjin's finger mountain.

That was the ring that Tang Chongjin had been wearing all the time.

Maybe it was because of the timing, or maybe it was because of the scene I saw.

The details that I hadn't noticed before suddenly popped up at this moment.

For example, Tang Chongjin sometimes touches the ring gently, with very gentle eyes.

Another example is the news about Tang Chongjin's marriage.

He always felt that the news that Tang Chongjin was married was just an excuse made up by Tang Chongjin himself to stop those little girls who were pursuing him.

But now in retrospect.

If it was just an excuse, why would he value this ring so much.

The way Tang Chongjin looked at the ring was definitely not something that could be explained by just a shield.

When Tang Chongjin walked into the living room, what he saw was Shi Yu's serious expression, he paused, and walked up to Shi Yu, "If you want to scold me, or have something to say, just say it."

Shi Yu moved his lips, and many questions swirled around his mouth, turning into a sentence, "Why did you miss the appointment today?"

Seeing Shi Yu's awkward expression, Tang Chongjin laughed, "I met a drunk friend on the road, and I'm waiting for her family to come over."

"I originally wanted to send you a message, but..." Tang Chongjin sighed at this point, and took out the phone that had been flooded and turned off from his bag, "The phone has been flooded and turned off."

Shi Yu glanced at Tang Chongjin, and said in a muffled voice, "Really?"

"En." Tang Chongjin nodded, looked at Shi Yu who looked like a child now, smiled, and put the phone in front of Shi Yu, "If you don't believe me, you can try it."

Shi Yu took the phone, pursed his lips, there was already a smile between his brows and eyes, and deliberately pressed the power button in front of Tang Chongjin.

"The phone has indeed..."

Looking at the lit phone screen, Tang Chongjin's words were successfully stuck in his throat.

Tang Chongjin: "..."

Shi Yu: "Oh."
