It was the first time Jiang Shiyu was instructed like this.

His mother would tell him to smoke less, but she would not say that if you smoke again, I will smoke you. Yan An would tell him to smoke less, but she would always go to a deeper level after talking, why he smokes.

Only Uncle Yan, like a real parent, told him not to smoke, and next time I will fuck you.

Jiang Shiyu suddenly regretted it.

Shouldn't they contact Yan An's family like this?

If one day, Yan An really came out, and his parents knew that he was the one who came out, how sad would they be?

The longer the contact, the more hurt they may be when they learn the truth.

On the way to the scheduled KTV, Jiang Shiyu became more and more absent-minded. Yan An stared at him all the way, and finally couldn't hold back, and asked, "What did my dad tell you?"

"Huh? It's nothing." Jiang Shiyu came back to his senses, "Just let me smoke less."

"You are not addicted, I remember," Yan An said, "otherwise you should stop smoking."

"Okay." Jiang Shiyu nodded.

"Why haven't I seen you smoking?" Xie Lanlan asked, "Don't people who smoke usually smoke after dinner? My dad is like that."

"I'm not addicted." After Jiang Shiyu finished speaking, Yan An beside him suddenly laughed.

The sound was so sudden that the driver was stunned with joy, and then continued to drive with the corner of his mouth curled up.

"What's the fun?" Jiang Shiyu leaned over and asked in a low voice.

"Smoke after dinner," Yan An laughed aloud for a while, and whispered, "It's a good thing you're not addicted, otherwise you wouldn't have to smoke afterwards."

Jiang Shiyu leaned back, leaned his arms on the car door and looked at Yan An for a while, then became amused.

"It's different, do you understand?" Jiang Shiyu smiled and said in a low voice, "If something happens between us, I will definitely lean on the bed and smoke a cigarette."

"Did you just say no more?" Yan An looked at him.

"No smoking," Jiang Shiyu continued, "Light it up and put it there, mainly for the atmosphere."

What is the atmosphere?

What kind of atmosphere can light a cigarette have?

If he really put Jiang Shiyu on the bed, would Jiang Shiyu still have to get up and smoke a cigarette with a stubborn face after being finished?

Thinking of this, Yan An couldn't help being happy again.

Jiang Shiyu looked at him amused, and he laughed too. The two of them sat in the back row laughing like no one else, while Xie Lanlan in front was speechless.

"I'm sorry, uncle," Xie Lanlan said to the driver, "I forgot to buy feed for the two of them when I was going out."

"Fuck you!" Yan An shouted with a smile.

The driver uncle laughed for a while, and seemed to sigh that it's good to be young, but Jiang Shiyu didn't hear it clearly, and the three of them looked at each other after getting out of the car, and quickly looked away.

I don't know when it started, the few of them couldn't look at each other for more than three seconds, and once it was longer than three seconds, they would laugh wildly without meaning, and couldn't stop it.

In order to avoid the situation where the three of them were convulsing together on the street, they wisely chose to avoid each other's sight and give others a clean world.

"Normally, they are almost here," Xie Lanlan said, "shall we go in first?"

"Where is Sun Ke?" Jiang Shiyu asked her.

"He said he had to be late," Xie Lanlan said, "something happened."

"Then let's go in first." Yan An said.

There are quite a lot of people who come to sing at this hour. When walking from the aisle to the room, you can already hear all kinds of sounds that are good or bad, or not at all, so I dare not say that people are good or bad.

At least the sound is still good.

"I'll give you a birthday present after the show is over," Yan An said to Jiang Shiyu while Xie Lanlan was going to the bathroom, "Is that okay?"

"Okay," Jiang Shiyu nodded, "I'll give it to you after the show is over."

Yan An snapped his fingers.

The light in the room was turned on the calmest one, neither flickering nor too dark to see people's faces clearly, Yan An said that we are the successors of the new era, serious people who are about to take the college entrance examination, the lights don't need to be turned on It was such a torture to the eyes.

Although Jiang Shiyu didn't understand the connection between Huangyan and the successors of the new era, he let him go, as long as he celebrates his birthday, he is happy.

Lin Xiangxiao and Chang Ze came in earlier than Sun Ke, and came in with a gift, just like those who came to pay New Year's greetings. They first shouted happy birthday to Yan An when they entered the door, and Yan An almost replied: "Happy New Years to you too!"

Fortunately, he restrained his impulse in time.

Sun Ke was about half an hour late. It is said that he was pressed by his mother to do his homework, and he used all his brain cells to finish his homework at the speed of light. Xie Lanlan didn't feel distressed at all. sentence.

The rest... the ones who didn't come, only Ruan Yu was left.

Yan An didn't know if Ruan Yu would come.

Looking back now, what he did was really too much. He was afraid that he would suffer, but Ruan Yu didn't understand this. All Ruan Yu experienced from him was separation, indifference, and inexplicable alienation.

The apology is growing with the passage of time, Yan An now sees Ruan Yu always has the urge to rush over and kowtow to him.

After the invitation message was sent, Ruan Yu only replied with a string of ellipses. Yan An didn't dare to look at the string of ellipses, feeling flustered all over his body. In order to ignore this feeling, he stretched his waist and managed to cover up a little panic .

The door of the room was pushed open suddenly, and it was the waiter who came in to deliver the fruit plate. Yan An glanced at the waiter, and immediately froze. Everyone in the room paused, even Chang Ze's singing stopped.

Youarebeautiful's accompaniment was still playing, Ruan Yu calmly put the fruit plate away for them, then came over and opened a bottle of wine.

Yan An quickly stood up, opened a bottle of wine, and looked at him nervously.

"Apologize." Jiang Shiyu reminded in a low voice.

"Oh, that," Yan An looked at him, "Before I..."

"Do you know why I sent you a string of ellipses?" Ruan Yu looked up at him.

"Ah." Yan An responded inexplicably.

"Because the address you sent me happened to be where I work," Ruan Yu said blankly, "It's a coincidence that I'm speechless."

"...Oh," Yan An nodded, "Then, have a drink?"

"No, I just picked it up to set off the atmosphere." Ruan Yu put down the wine in his hand, "I can't drink, and I have to go to work."

So Yan An also put down the wine bottle in his hand.

"Happy birthday to you," Ruan Yu took out a small box from his pocket and handed it to Yan An, "Hurry up, I'm going to work."

Yan An took the box, and before he could speak, Ruan Yu turned around and left. Jiang Shiyu stood up and pushed Yan An, telling him to follow him out.

As soon as the door was closed, discussions started in the room, but no one asked why Ruan Yu was still working part-time after his third year in high school. What they were gossiping about was the strange atmosphere between Ruan Yu and Yan An.

Sun Ke suddenly sat next to Jiang Shiyu, and as soon as he raised his hand to hook his shoulder, Jiang Shiyu quickly dodged aside as if he had been shocked, and grabbed Sun Ke's arm with his other hand and pressed down , a twist.

"Fuck," Sun Ke quickly pulled his hand back, looked at Jiang Shiyu, "Have you practiced?"

"I have something to say." Jiang Shiyu looked at him.

Don't be so hands-on.

"It's okay," Sun Ke said, with the corners of his lips curled up, "I'm just asking how you feel."

Jiang Shiyu continued to look at him without saying a word or moving.

"Yan An suddenly went out with someone else." Sun Ke blinked and said, "Are you sore?"

"You didn't know Yan An was crooked, and you kept looking at him and Xie Lanlan," Jiang Shiyu smiled, "Are you sore?"

Sun Ke laughed for a while, then raised the wine glass in his hand, Jiang Shiyu also raised the wine glass, the two clinked glasses, their crisp voices were drowned out by the accompaniment, they looked at each other and smiled, as if they had achieved some kind of sublimation of friendship.

Yan An pushed the door and went out, but found that Ruan Yu did not leave, but stood there, waiting for him.

"Then what," Yan An closed the door and walked towards Ruan Yu, "I'm sorry about what happened before."

Ruan Yu looked at him and said nothing.

"I shouldn't have that kind of attitude back then, so what, just," Yan An stood in front of him, "I'm sorry, I'm not discriminating or anything else, just..."

"It's the deep cabinet," Ruan Yu snapped his fingers, "Do you know there is a famous saying in the circle that homophobia is the deep cabinet?"

In the circle?

What hoop, hula hoop?

Yan An stared at him blankly, and said "ah" inexplicably.

"I was very angry at the time, and I knew you wanted to apologize to me, but I was still angry, so I never gave you a chance," Ruan Yu said calmly, "Now that the anger is gone, I accept your apology." .”

Yan An didn't understand.

How did the anger go away?

Why did I lose my temper when I didn't do anything?

Maybe it was because the confusion on Yan An's face was too obvious, Ruan Yu stared at him, curled the corners of his mouth, and said, "Because I figured it out, you are a closet, you are homophobic, that's why you reacted that way. "

"... When did you figure it out?" Yan An followed his train of thought.

"After Jiang Shiyu came here," Ruan Yu blinked, "right?"

Yan An pursed his lips, a trace of embarrassment appeared on his face.

Is it so obvious?

"Maybe you don't have much self-awareness, but...a straight man doesn't feel like growing up on another straight man every day, he has to walk shoulder to shoulder," Ruan Yu said, "nor will he often hold hands."

The embarrassment on Yan An's face became more and more obvious, he turned his head and pretended to cough.

"You should go there for your birthday," Ruan Yu smiled, "I'll come to see you later if you haven't left after I get off work."

Yan An stared at him, and suddenly heaved a sigh of relief, with a smile reappearing on his face: "Well, I'll leave you two bottles of wine."

"Then you have to carry me back," Ruan Yu said, waving his hands, "Jiang Shiyu is going to be jealous?"

"No!" Yan An said, "He won't be jealous!"

Ruan Yu smiled and said nothing, waved his hands and turned around to go to work.

Yan An returned to the room, Lin Xiangxiao was singing "Catch the Loach", Sun Ke was very pleased with the venue and shook the maracas to the rhythm, Xie Lanlan was chatting with Chang Zejiang and Shiyu.

As soon as he came back, Jiang Shiyu cast his gaze over immediately, and asked nervously, "How is it?"

"He said he accepted my apology, and he will come to play later if he has time," Yan An sat down on the sofa and said with a smile, "It's resolved!"

"...That's good," Jiang Shiyu smiled, thought for a while, and said, "Go to my house later."

"Huh?" Yan An didn't hear clearly.

"Go to my house," Jiang Shiyu looked at him, "We have a birthday alone."

"Okay," Yan An agreed readily, "We'll go to your house after drinking here!"

"Yeah." Jiang Shiyu smiled.

Before the smile could be retracted, suddenly felt that something was wrong, Jiang Shiyu and Yan An turned their heads at the same time, just in time to meet the eyes of Xie Lanlan and Sun Ke.

The two men rested their elbows on their knees, rested their faces on their palms, and looked at them with serious eyes.

"What are you doing at your house later?" Xie Lanlan asked Jiang Shiyu.

"What are you doing at your house later?" Sun Ke repeated.

"Speak louder," Jiang Shiyu looked at the two of them helplessly, "Why don't I get a mic to shout to you two?"

Xie Lanlan laughed for a long time, and as soon as his elbow touched Sun Ke, Sun Ke took out a small box from his pocket and handed it to Yan An: "Happy birthday."

"Thank you." Yan An accepted the gift.

"Remember to take good measures," Sun Ke said, "I still have to go to school in two days."

"Okay..." Before Yan An finished speaking, he suddenly realized something was wrong, "What measures?"

Sun Ke smiled for a while, leaned back on the sofa, and said nothing.
