compassion

Thank you, boss starfish~

Liking this kind of feeling is like some kind of poison. When it is first infected, you can survive with a broken arm, but you can't kill it in time at the beginning. The poison penetrates into the heart and lungs, and it is hopeless.

So knowing it was impossible, when Shen Heng came back from school on Monday and saw the game console given to him by Xie Zhang in the living room at home, he still couldn't control the joy in his heart.

Xie Zhang observed Shen Heng's expression and explained: "I don't understand these things very well. The clerk said this is the latest model of this year, so I bought it for you. If you don't like it, you can change it."

Shen Heng pursed the corners of his lips, tried hard to control his excitement, and whispered, "I like it."

Regardless of the game console itself, as long as it is something given to him by Xie Zhang, even if it is just a piece of blank paper, he feels that it is different and he likes it.

Xie Zhang breathed a sigh of relief.

He is almost the youngest in his own circle, and sometimes his judgment is questioned because he is too young. However, when facing Shen Heng, he felt "old" for the first time.

Shen Heng is only seventeen, and he is already 28. He is an age who doesn't even know which game console young people like.

Fortunately, Shen Heng looked very happy, he must have given it right.

Xie Zhang patted Shen Heng on the back, and said: "Then go wash your hands first, you can try it after eating, the store gave me a few game disks, and you can buy what you like in the future."

He paused, and continued: "You can also invite your classmates to come to our house to play in the future."

Shen Heng looked at Xie Zhang, wanting to make himself not like Xie Zhang, but couldn't control his heart beating faster because of the word "our family", he was entangled in his heart, and went to confirm with Xie Zhang: "Is it okay? ?”

Other people's children have friends to play with, so of course it doesn't make sense for them to be alone.

Xie Zhang gave him a gentle smile and said, "Of course."

Now when Shen Heng went to the bathroom to wash his hands, he almost had the same hands and feet.

Xie Zhang waited for Shen Heng to wash his hands, then squatted down, put the game boards from the store in the TV cabinet, piled the foam paper and cardboard shells aside, and then went to the kitchen to tell Sister Zhou : "The sundries in the living room can now be thrown away."

Sister Zhou turned around and took a look, and said, "Then I'll take it out when I leave later."

He said casually, "Mr. Xie is in a good mood today."

Xie Zhang never showed his emotions very much, unexpectedly, today even sister Zhou could see that he was happy, but it was nothing, Xie Zhang smiled lightly, and admitted, "It's not bad."

Sister Zhou understood his habits, so she asked, "Will you have a drink that night?"

Xie Zhang said, "I'll go to the wine cabinet to pick it myself."

He turned around and came out of the kitchen, stopped halfway there, went back to the kitchen and said to Sister Zhou: "Forget it, there are children, don't spoil them, make us some fruit tea."

Sister Zhou responded, and then said intentionally or unintentionally: "Xiao Shen likes oranges, should I make hot orange tea with apples?"

Xie Zhang thought about it and said, "Yes."

Shen Heng didn't know why sister Zhou made hot black tea in the middle of the night, but Xie Zhang used to drink coffee in the middle of the night, so he defaulted to being normal.

However, he is sensitive to tea polyphenols and caffeine, so he would definitely not be able to fall asleep after drinking tea at night, so he only drank a few sips, chewed the orange pulp in it and thought, since sister Zhou made orange and apple fruit tea, Then Xie Zhang should like these two kinds of fruits.

Shen Heng habitually remembered Xie Zhang's preferences, and was quietly happy because he discovered a fruit that Xie Zhang and himself liked together.

It's a pity that this kind of happiness is hidden, and I dare not be known by the other party.

Shen Heng felt a little sad again.

But this sadness didn't last long, because Xie Zhang suddenly said to him: "By the way, I will send you to school starting tomorrow."

The morning reading for senior high school students was arranged very early. Although most of the students in the school Shen Heng attended were rich second-generation students, the rich second-generation students did not increase the rate of admission to prestigious universities, and the school rules appeared to be stricter.

When Shen Heng thought of asking Xie Zhang to get up before seven o'clock and take him to school, he couldn't bear it. He hesitated for a moment, and refused with difficulty: "I can go by myself...and there is no driver."

Xie Zhang seemed to think about it seriously, and asked Shen Heng: "What's the matter, do you dislike me?"

Shen Heng immediately looked like a cat whose tail had been stepped on, and shook his head twice to express his position: "No!"

Xie Zhang has never thought about what his future partner will be like. He has no interest in love, and his sexual orientation has already determined that he will "cut off children and grandchildren" in the future, so he has no way of knowing how Shen Heng fits his heart. .

But he really felt that it would be a very good thing if he lived with Shen Heng in this house like this in the future.

Xie Zhang slightly bent the corners of his lips, thinking amusingly: "No? That's why...you are afraid that I will know if you did something bad at school?"

He said: "You may not know that in the school address book, in the column of your emergency contact, Xie Zhang's name and phone number are written, so if you do something bad, your head teacher will call me. .”

This time Shen Heng's reaction was not so intense, he just said: "No, I..."

Xie Zhang pressed him: "No?"

There was a bit of laughter in his voice, watching Shen Heng's whole body slowly tense up, and then his ears turned a little red, he restrained himself, and said solemnly: "That's because I'm afraid to trouble me."

Shen Heng's shoulders and back, which had tensed up a little bit, relaxed again.

He thought that he hadn't had time to think of this level yet.

However, there seemed to be something wrong with his head, and after that momentary thought passed, he couldn't organize his words to answer Xie Zhang's words after about four or five seconds, so he had to repeat the previous words: "It's enough to have a driver. "

Xie Zhang made a final decision: "I don't need a driver, I'll take you off."

He said, "Heng, you can trouble me."

However, it was all over now, Shen Heng only drank two sips of black tea, but still suffered from insomnia.

When he was just lying on the bed, Shen Heng was a little excited. The painful early morning time became the time he was looking forward to. He obviously felt sad and disappointed during the weekend, but now it is difficult to spend more time alone with Xie Zhang. fall asleep.

What's more, Xie Zhang also called him "Aheng" and told him "you can trouble him".

Shen Heng tried his best to recall, but he really couldn't remember whether Xie Zhang had said similar words to him before he had these small thoughts about Xie Zhang.

But he couldn't remember, so he wasn't sure if Xie Zhang was just afraid that he would be reserved, or because of something else.

Shen Heng was lying on the bed, next to his pillow was the game console manual that he had sneaked up before going upstairs, replaying every scene with Xie Zhang frame by frame in his head, and couldn't help but guess what Xie Zhang meant, like A drug addict who overdraws his life, regardless of the consequences, lives every day.
