You said you liked me earlier

?? Not long after dark, He Cheng took Xia Yan out.

?? He didn't ask Xia Yan why he suddenly changed his mind. Anyway, after asking, he would only be the one who would get angry.

??The gym is not far from the school, and it only takes about ten minutes to walk there.

?? When they were about to arrive, Cheng Chencheng sent a picture, which was a screenshot of her chat asking Xia Yan to accompany He Cheng to the gym.

??The content of green tea made He Cheng want to give her a thumbs up.

??He didn't reply, and glanced at the people around him from the corner of his eye.

??If I were Xia Yan, would I have a slight resistance to the person I like because of this?

?? It should be.

??But Xia Yan did not show dissatisfaction with Cheng Chencheng at all, and even revealed to herself that Cheng Chencheng is also a fitness enthusiast. If you really get to know each other in the future, you will definitely have a lot of common words.

?? After hearing this, his heart immediately became cold.

?? Xia Yan is a dog in this life, right?The smell of green tea in the woman's words is so obvious, how can she not care about it and continue to lick it in such a humble way!

??The next second, he felt that he had scolded himself too.

?? A person who licks a goddess is called a dog licker, and he is licking that dog. He is so humble that he can't even be called a dog licker!

??…

?? He Cheng handed the water to Xia Yan. He was sending messages with someone with his head down. His expression was so focused that he didn't notice that there was an extra person beside him.

?? He had no choice but to unscrew the cover again, and when he handed it over again, his gaze pretended to be inadvertently glanced at the phone screen. Seeing the dazzling note, the smile on his face froze immediately.

?? After Xia Yan replied the message, he finally sensed the other party's existence.

??He didn't look up, took the water channel and thanked him, and continued to stare at the screen. Seeing that the other party had returned a message, he started typing with one hand.

?? He Cheng suppressed his emotions and asked: "I'm coming next Saturday, are you still coming?"

?? "I'm not coming, I already know about how to use the instruments I want to know."

?? He Cheng originally thought that even if Xia Yan came to the gym because of Cheng Chencheng, as long as he exudes enough masculine charm intentionally or unintentionally when exercising, so as to firmly catch this person's attention, from physical to psychological If you conquer people little by little, then it doesn't matter why Xia Yan came here.

?? As a result, he worked out there for most of the day, during which time he looked at Xia Yan countless times, and was stunned to see him either bowing his head to chat with others, or ignoring himself and watching others exercise.

??The original plan was to stay here for a few hours with rest and practice, but now that the time has shrunk, he doesn't even want to stay for a minute.

??Xia Yan waited for a while, but didn't hear the other party's next sentence, and looked up curiously.

??The attractive appearance of the young man just after exercising brought a strong visual impact. He looked away uncomfortably, and when his feverish body calmed down, he pretended to be calm and asked, "You're done. Yet?"

??He Cheng raised the corners of his lips with a smile, and the upward arc revealed a self-deprecating meaning: "It's over, let's go back."

?? "Do you want to take a shower before going back?"

?? "No need, I'm afraid it will take up too much of your time and disturb your more comfortable chat with others." The word "more comfortable" was stretched low and long.

?? Xia Yan didn't smell the sour smell in the air, so he nodded: "Then let's go back."

??As for He Cheng's last sentence, he didn't understand, and he didn't intend to ask more.

??…

?? On the way back, He Cheng's attitude was even colder than when he came here.

??He didn't take the initiative to speak. Xia Yan is not used to this. When he brought up the topic once or twice, the attitude of the other party's response seemed impatient. He sensed it sensitively and stopped talking.

?? It was the first time for the two of them to get along in this way.

?? It's not like a quarrel, and there is no cold war. It's just that there is a transparent wall suddenly, separating two people who were originally close.

?? Xia Yan didn't like this unfamiliar atmosphere. He wanted to break it, but because of He Cheng's abnormal attitude, he didn't dare to say anything more.

?? From the time when he expressed a little shame that he needed to go to the gym with He Cheng, this feeling of alienation seems to have emerged.

??He felt ashamed, and he could no longer tell the people around him unreservedly what he really thought in his heart like before.

??——Two friends who had just quarreled and had a cold war for several days, and finally reconciled because one party apologized. Somewhat uncomfortable.

??Xia Yan felt that he and He Cheng were in this stage now, and he didn't know when the transition period would pass.

?? "I'm hungry, go buy something to eat."

??The people around him suddenly spoke.

??Xia Yan was still a little dazed, and followed him. Hearing this, he nodded and let out a shallow hum.

?? A piercing sound of brakes came from beside his ears, and he was yanked by someone, straight into the other person's arms.

?? The man on the electric donkey swears and walks away. Xia Yan realizes later that if He Cheng's action is a second late, he will probably have to spend tonight in the hospital.

??Under normal circumstances, his forehead just reached the position of He Cheng's chin, but because he kept his head slightly buried all the way, when he was pulled into his arms, his whole face was buried in the other's neck .

??He Cheng's unique smell melted into the invisible and odorless air, wrapping him tightly without any gaps.

??He heard two bursts of violent heartbeats. At the beginning, the frequency was different and the amplitude was similar. Soon, the frequency and amplitude coincided, as if two separate hearts were glued together bit by bit and flawlessly.

?? Xia Yan quickly came back to his senses, stretched out his hand to hold the other party, just about to separate from him, but was pressed into his arms again, the other party's head was pressed down, and the hands around his back tightened at once.

"Xia Yan, don't scare me."

??The voice was hoarse and trembling slightly, like the aftermath of a catastrophe, revealing endless panic and fear.

??…

?? "Do you want some vinegar today?"

?? He Cheng asked him holding a transparent jar of vinegar.

?? Xia Yan shook his head, took a sip of the soup with a white porcelain spoon, the noodle soup was rich and mellow, paired with the hot sauce he added, whetted the appetite.

??The person on the opposite side finished adding vinegar to himself, buried his head and began to eat noodles quietly.

??Xia Yan raised his eyes to look at him. There were multiple images in his mind that he couldn't separate for a while.

?? First in the gym.

?? He didn't intend to play with his mobile phone at first, Cheng Chencheng asked him to do it, he still remembers that after sitting on the yoga mat, he started to stare at He Cheng, carefully observing how he used those equipment.

?? Soon, I dare not read any more.

??The mermaid line looming under the thin clothes when the young man raised his hand, the tide/red and very seductive face after he started exercising, and even the little sweat on his forehead later, all make people feel I lost the urge to wipe it clean with my lips.

??He Cheng is a luminous body that exudes personal charm all the time. Just standing quietly like this can also attract a lot of attention.

??This is the first time he has intuitively realized that the charm emanating from He Cheng, who is full of male hormones, can bring such a strong impact to people—not just visually.

?? He looked away and fumbled for his phone in a panic.

?? After chatting with Cheng Chencheng for a few words, he finally calmed down.

?? I remembered my purpose of coming here again, but I didn't dare to visit He Cheng again, so I had to observe other people.

?? It's very strange, although other people are also sweating and flushed, but when he watched it, his heart was calm the whole time.

?? Even when he saw the strong muscles stretched out by the man, he felt a little repulsion.

?? After leaving the gym, the cool night breeze soothed the last trace of strangeness in his heart.

?? until that hug.

?? The already calm lake will be disturbed again, and the chaos will be more thorough.

?? It was He Cheng who let him go first, and neither of them spoke again, but at that moment, Xia Yan had an intuition that the transitional period of invisibility was over.

??He didn't feel happy. The ups and downs of emotions throughout the night made him suddenly understand that from the beginning to the end, it was because of He Cheng's different attitudes that made him worry about gains and losses.

?? When he figured it out, the two of them were already sitting in the shop.

??He Cheng got up and asked the boss for two bowls of beef noodles. After finishing speaking, he added a sentence very naturally: "No coriander is added."

??Xia Yan watched him go to get drinks again, opened one of the cans, and put it in front of her.

??He always thought that in this friendship, he was the dominant one—this kind of thinking was too confident, and it was because of He Cheng's various performances that he couldn't help but have this illusion.

?? Now, he found that it was indeed just an illusion - it was He Cheng who was willing to give it, so he could be proud of it. Once He Cheng was unwilling, then he would lose everything.

??From the very beginning, it was He Cheng who dominated.

??Understanding this, he felt that somewhere in his heart was as uncomfortable as being pricked by a needle.

??——the piece that has been imperceptibly engraved with the word He Cheng.

??——The light illuminates the place and makes it come alive. If one day the light goes away, what should it do?

?? "Don't you like the noodles?"

?? Xia Yan regained consciousness, afraid that the other party would see his expression at the moment, so he quickly lowered his head.

?? The soft voice made it hard to hear anything strange: "No, I like it very much."

??He Cheng put the beef covered in his bowl into his bowl. The landmark hug just now completely cleaned up all his negative emotions.

??The mood became better, and his insight became worse. He didn't notice the strangeness of the person opposite him at all: "Then eat it quickly, it won't taste good if you leave it for a long time. If you like it, I will bring you to eat it next time."

??Xia Yan didn't speak anymore, and the action of silently eating noodles replaced the answer.

??The original delicious soup, only let people taste a taste as light as clear water.

?? He took a few mouthfuls and couldn't swallow anymore.

?? Xia Yan put down the chopsticks and looked at the person who had almost finished eating the noodles: "I'm full."

??He Cheng didn't think much, swallowed the last mouthful of noodles, and raised his head while saying: "Then—"

?? He looked suspiciously at the noodles in Xia Yan's bowl, and frowned: "You have such a small appetite today?"

?? Xia Yan showed no flaws: "I'm not very hungry today."

?? Speaking of getting up, he secretly thought about how to face He Cheng in the future.

??He doesn't want himself to become unhappy because of Guang's departure in the end, so before that day comes, he should stop the loss in time.

??——Do not approach the light, is the easiest way.

?? Pulling off his sleeve with one hand, Xia Yan turned around and saw that the bowl in front of He Cheng had already been replaced.

??The person who was still sitting pointed to the bowl of noodles that was left by him: "Don't you like to waste it? It happens that I'm not full yet, so I'll just help you eat it?"

?? He seemed really hungry. Before Xia Yan could open his mouth, he took the chopsticks and stuffed noodles into his mouth.

?? Xia Yan stood still. He silently looked at He Cheng who was buried in eating noodles. A picture from a long time ago suddenly broke into his mind.

?? It was a rare rainy day in City A. The rain was so heavy that Xia Yan, who usually only ate in cafeterias or snack streets, had to choose takeaway.

?? Four people ordered the same restaurant, but they ordered different items.

?? It is normal for friends to rub off on each other.

?? So after Peng Chang came over with curry rice to take away a piece of fried sausage in his bowl, he also took a piece of potato wrapped in curry sauce from his bowl.

??Peng Chang bit the sausage and went to look for He Cheng again. Xia Yan didn't go to see it, but he could hear He Cheng's voice.

?? "I'm a bit of a clean freak when it comes to eating and drinking. I don't like to touch other people's food. Whatever you want to eat, take it yourself."

??Peng Chang is a big-hearted person, so he didn't care. He went to get a piece of meat from his bowl, and asked again. After getting the same answer, he didn't give him anything anymore, and sat back to his seat with the bowl in his hand.

?? Later, Peng Chang answered the phone temporarily, and went downstairs after half of the meal. Not long after he left, He Cheng got up and walked towards Xia Yan.

?? "Give me a bite of your sausage, if it is delicious, I will order it next time."

?? There was only one piece of fried sausage left in the bowl, and it was Xia Yan who took a bite. He remembered what He Cheng said just now, and explained: "I have bitten the sausage, and it is delicious. You can order it directly next time."

??He Cheng bent his lips and smiled, stretched out his chopsticks and snatched the sausage in his bowl, chewed a few mouthfuls and swallowed it into his stomach, and said brazenly: "If I don't eat it myself, how do I know if it's delicious? Well, the taste That’s right, I ate one of your sausages, and I’ll pay you back when I order it next time.”

??After speaking, he walked back with a happy face.

?? Xia Yan stared at him blankly, really wondering if he was hallucinating just now.

?? He Chengzhen, did you tell Peng Chang that he has a cleanliness?

?? Even he himself forgot at that time, he once told someone that he was not used to others eating what he had eaten.

?? Later, he finally remembered what he had said.

?? And he has long been used to it. Once there is no more food on the plate, he will pass it to the person opposite.

??Now--

??Xia Yan watched him finish the rest of the noodles, and his eyes felt sore for no reason.

??A lot of details are often overlooked because they feel too ordinary. Once you start to think about it, you will find out how touching they are.

??In this friendship, He Cheng has always given him only favoritism, blatantly and frankly.

??A person like him, why would he do this for an ordinary friend? It is because he considers himself too humble that he shrinks back.

??——The most special friend.

??Xia Yan burst into a smile, someone gave him such a promise, why should he not be more confident?

"He Cheng."

?? After drinking the last sip of soup, the person who was finally full stood up slowly. Hearing the other party call him so softly, his heart trembled, and he immediately looked at him.

??"I'm hungry."

?? That is the expression that a doted person will show unconsciously when he acts like a baby to someone he depends on.

?? He Cheng was stunned.

?? Xia Yan waited quietly for his response, and soon, He Cheng smiled.

?? "What do you want to eat? Barbecue?"

?? He didn't complain, didn't blame, and indulged his rare petty temper with an extremely tolerant attitude.
