Excellent

After the winter break, the busy days began again.

After the puzzle was completed, Mu Tian put it into a wooden frame to make a portrait and hung it in his bedroom.

Qin Xi still leaves early and returns late, and Mu Tian will accompany him on the subway if he has a morning class.If his class is late, Qin Xi will let him sleep a little longer and go out by himself.

But no matter how late at night, he will wait for Qin Xi to go home.

Qin Xi's phone has never been turned off again. He will send a message to Mu Tian when he leaves the coffee shop to go home. If he is stranded in the library or has an appointment with a classmate to research a project, he will also make a call to report.Because he knew that if he disappeared again, it might not be as simple as Mu Tian waiting for him at home.

Jiang Enya next door is taking a language class at Queen's University. Sometimes when they go out, they will meet each other, chat and walk to the street corner before parting ways.In order to prepare delicious food for Qin Xi, Mu Tian would also visit this Korean neighbor after class and learn how to cook Korean food from her.

The house that Jiang Enya rented was similar to Mu Tian's small villa, and it was also a two-story detached house.Mu Tian once asked her why she didn't find a roommate, but she only smiled and replied that she likes to be alone.

Mu Tian didn't delve into it, but sighed regretfully in his heart: Actually, what a wonderful thing it is to have someone to accompany you!

On a Saturday afternoon, Qin Xi went to make up lessons for high school students.

Mu Tian sent him to the door, Qin Xi said to him before getting off the car: "Don't wait for me, I'll go home by myself. When I just went out, I saw a lot of fallen leaves and rubbish in the yard. Go back and clean it up. I'll make lasagna for you."

Italian Lasagne?

Mu Tian's eyes lighted up.

He's been wanting to eat it ever since.Qin Xi is very good at making this dish, but because he is too busy and has no time to make it, and he doesn't want to eat takeaway, so he has been holding back.Now that Qin Xi took the initiative to mention it, he was of course overjoyed.

"Okay, then take care of yourself."

When he got home, he immediately rolled up his sleeves and started working in the yard.Now he works swiftly, completely without the weak look of a rich son.Since Qin Xi lived with him, he deliberately cultivated his hands-on ability. At first, the weekly housekeeping was changed to once every two weeks, then once every three weeks, and now once a month.The ground in the backyard has not been cleaned for a long time, and it has become dirty and messy.

Just as the cleaning was about to be completed, Jiang Enya next door also walked into the yard.

The backyards of the houses here are almost all adjacent to each other, and some are only separated by a fence, which is the case with Mu Tian and her backyard.There are bushes on the outside, a small iron gate in the middle, and a trail outside the gate. Residents in the community often walk on this trail at night.

Jiang Enya was wearing a long fluffy coat, holding steaming tea in her hand, and watched curiously as Mu Tian packed the garbage into plastic bags.

"what are you busy with?"

she asked, leaning over the fence.

While tightening the plastic bag, Mu Tian replied, "These are dead leaves and garbage. The backyard is too dirty, I'll clean it up."

"Oh..." Jiang Enya took a sip of tea and asked again, "Where is Qin Xi?"

"He went to make up lessons for the students."

"He's so busy, he only sees you every time, as if you live here alone."

"Well, he comes home late at night."

Mu Tian carried the bag out of the yard and put it on the side of the road.

Every week at a fixed time, garbage trucks pass by here to take away the garbage, so you can see garbage cans or garbage bags at intervals along the entire trail.

"Mu Tian, ​​are you free? I want to chat with you."

"Okay, I'm going to wash my hands first."

The weather is a bit cold, but the air is very fresh.

There is a small round wooden table and several wicker chairs in Jiang Enya's yard.She wiped the wooden table and rattan chair clean with a soft cloth, and took out two soft cushions and placed them on the rattan chair.

"Just drink tea and chat outside the house, okay?"

She was standing by the table with a tray and asked with a smile.

On that tray was a pot of tea, a cup and a plate of pastries.

Mu Tian nodded, and entered her yard through the small iron gate.

The two sat down, and after Jiang Enya poured him a cup of tea, she held her original teacup and said, "I brought this tea from Korea, you can try it."

"Thank you."

Mu Tian took a sip from his teacup and couldn't help raising his eyebrows: "It's pretty good."

The tea is light yellow in color, smells fragrant, tastes elegant, slightly bitter but not astringent.

"Glad you like it."

Jiang Enya pushed the plate containing the pastries in the direction of Mu Tian again: "You try this, I made it myself."

It was a snow-white cake, which she cut into small cubes.

Mu Tian took a piece with a fork and put it in his mouth, he was so shocked that he couldn't speak for a moment.

The cake exudes a light floral fragrance, and the texture is soft and delicious, and it melts in the mouth.After entering the throat, the teeth and cheeks will remain fragrant, with endless aftertaste.

"This is too delicious! You are amazing, what is this? No, you must teach me how to make this!"

As Mu Tian praised, he took another piece and put it in his mouth.

Jiang Enya laughed out loud, and took a tissue and handed it to him: "This is called angel cake. I added jasmine powder in it, so besides the taste is very good, it also smells very good."

Mu Tian was stunned: "Jasmine powder? Do you still sell this kind of thing?"

Jiang Enya shook her head: "I made it myself. Just grind the dehydrated jasmine petals into powder. I can give you some if you want."

"That would be great! Qin Xi will definitely like this kind of cake."

Mu Tian rubbed his hands excitedly.

Jiang Enya stood up and walked back to the house. After a while, she turned around and walked out, handing him a small plastic bag.The pocket is transparent and contains some white powder.

"Here, here it is for you!"

After taking it, Mu Tian stuffed it into his pocket, and said with a smile, "Thank you, tell me, what do you want in return?"

Jiang Enya covered her mouth and smiled: "There is no reward for this. However, you are so kind to Qin Xi, but it doesn't look like a roommate relationship at all."

Mu Tian paused, raised his eyebrows and said, "We're not roommates in the first place."

"Huh? Isn't it? Are you..."

Jiang Enya looked at him in surprise.

Mu Tian took a sip of tea and nodded lightly: "We are lovers."

Jiang Enya's eyes widened, and her hand holding the cup shook: "...Lover? No wonder you treat him so well."

Mu Tian had a smile on his face and happiness in his eyes: "He treats me better."

Jiang Enya sighed.She rubbed her fingers lightly along the cup, as if she was thinking about something.

Mu Tian looked at her, although he felt a little strange in his heart, he didn't ask any questions.

After a moment of silence, Jiang Enya spoke.

"Is the boy's relationship with a boy different from the boy's relationship with a girl?"

Her voice was strained, and she seemed deeply troubled by the question.

Mu Tian thought for a while and replied: "There is no difference. In my opinion, as long as the other party is someone I like, the same sex and the opposite sex give me the same feeling."

"So, if a boy always likes to be with another boy, often has very intimate actions, always considers each other, and occasionally blurts out his name. Does it mean that this boy likes that boy?"

"of course."

Mu Tian is happy, isn't this referring to his true self?

"If the interaction between boys is too close, then most of them have a good impression of each other, right? He will involuntarily think about whether the other party has eaten, what he is busy with, whether he will be tired, and will uncontrollably guess about that person Do you miss him the same way? This kind of emotion will not arise between ordinary friends. Unless you like the other party, then the person you often think of must be him."

He forked a piece of cake and said, "For example, this cake, I will think of Qin Xi when I take a bite. If I make it for him and he likes it very much, I will feel very satisfied."

After he finished speaking, he ate the cake and licked his lips with unsatisfied desire.

Jiang Enya nodded thoughtfully: "So, in fact, the performance of homosexual love is no different from that of heterosexual love. If you like each other, then it will be obvious in behavior. If the relationship between boys is pure friendship , would not have these behaviors. Right?"

"Probably not. In fact, it's not that I like boys, it's just that I like Qin Xi. If I want to do the same thing to other male friends, I can't do it."

"Yeah... If you don't like it, why would you behave like that..."

Jiang Enya lowered her eyes and murmured.

Mu Tian glanced at her: "What's wrong with you?"

"It's nothing."

She raised her head and smiled, took out her mobile phone and fiddled with it and said, "By the way, I'll transfer the prescription to you."

"Oh, okay. Then I'll go back first. I still have some time. When it's ready, I can serve it to Qin Xi as dessert in the evening."

As he spoke, he had already stood up and couldn't wait to walk towards his home.

Jiang Enya looked at his leaving back, with complex emotions flashing in her eyes.

After a while, singing came from the house next door.

"I'm going under and this time Ifarthere's no one to save me

This all or nothing really got away of driving me crazy

Ineedsome body to heal

Somebody knows

……

Ilet my guard down

And then you pulled the rug

I was getting kinda used to being someone you loved

......"

The song is called "Someone You Loved", and it is an award-winning song that has been frequently played on the radio recently.

The tune is sad, and the singer's voice is deep, singing heartbreakingly.

Jiang Enya held her teacup and raised her head.

The sun in winter is not very hot, and it looks a little bleak when it is blocked by thin clouds.

The cup in her hand was steaming, and a tear fell from the corner of her eye.

...I like you, but you fell in love with someone else...

Mu Tian prepared the raw materials and hummed along.

But after singing for a while, my heart felt sad along with the tune for no reason.

He frowned and reached out to change the channel.This time it's a cheerful song. Only a good mood can make delicious food.

When Qin Xi arrived home, the whole room was filled with the fragrance of jasmine.

"It smells so good, what are you doing?"

He walked into the kitchen and saw Mu Tian squatting and observing the oven.

Mu Tian turned around, smiled, and said sweetly, "Make something delicious for Teacher Qin."

Qin Xi raised his eyebrows, stretched out his hand to pull him up, hugged him, and rubbed his gray hair: "So good?"

Being hugged by him, Mu Tian rubbed his face against his face like a cat, then turned his head, grabbed the back of his neck and kissed the corner of his lips.

Qin Xi narrowed his eyes and tightened his arms.

Between breathing and interlacing, there is endless nostalgia and love.
