are you a cat

There was a patter of water in the bathroom, but there was no mist.

Xu Yuxing stood under the shower, with his head down, cold water flowing down the tip of his nose and jaw.

He looked down at the stream of water pouring into the drain under his feet, inserted his five fingers into his forehead, and brushed back his wet hair.

Xu Yuxing has been a popular figure in school since he was a child. He is handsome and has good grades, but he has no burdens. He is good-looking and pleasant to everyone. A person like him can enjoy himself everywhere. How could he not have a relationship in 26 years of life.

It's just that in the previous love experience, he was more the one who was pursued and favored.

It doesn't have to be how much you like it. As long as the suitor looks close or has advantages he appreciates, he can try it with the other party.

But the relationship between couples is full of friction and constraints, and Xu Yuxing will quickly break up and become single again.

He does everything to make himself feel good.

But he seems to have unimaginable patience with Ye Chen from the very beginning.

Although at first he just thought it would be very interesting to watch kittens blow their fur.

Slowly, more and more eyes were placed on Ye Chen.

He has always regarded himself as a brother.

Give that birthday wish as much as I can, so humble that I just want to be cared for and pampered by my beloved child.

Xu Yuxing felt sorry for Yechen, and wanted to satisfy and make up for his lack of family affection.

He has always thought so.

He just hopes that Yechen can be a happy kid at this age when he should be unscrupulous in his youth and happiness, not to be bound by troubles.

Until that night, he almost kissed Yechen on the lips.

The child's eyes were shining like fireflies, his eyes were clean and undefended, as if Xu Yuxing could do anything to him at that moment.

He was lured closer and closer by those eyes.

He was so close that his nose and breath blended together, and he could almost kiss those soft and seductive lips.

Then it was those eyes that made Xu Yuxing wake up suddenly.

At that moment, Xu Yuxing suddenly realized clearly that his feelings for Yechen had changed at some point.

His eyes always linger on Yechen's exposed skin, because he, who claims to be his elder brother, has thoughts that he shouldn't have about his younger brother.

The next day he almost fled back home in a panic.

During the few days when Ye Chen was not there, Xu Yuxing adjusted his mentality and successfully convinced himself that he might have been a vegetarian for too long.

But the moment he saw Ye Chen, he completely failed.

Before he realized Yechen's attraction to him, he could scrutinize Yechen with impunity.

Now, their presence is emphasized by the neck, wrist, ankle, and anywhere else hidden under clothing.

Xu Yuxing had no way to deceive himself anymore.

He likes Ye Chen.

The torrential rain and lightning flashed, illuminating the 31st floor of a residential building in the south of the city.

Two sparks appeared in the darkness, and after the crisp sound of the lighter's roller, a bunch of blue flames stood tremblingly.

After the flame is extinguished, a scarlet spot remains.

Xu Yuxing leaned his head back on the sofa, and pinched the space between his brows wearily.

If you like someone, go after someone, and when you catch up with someone, you will be together.

This isn't something to worry about.

But unfortunately, this person is Ye Chen.

Xu Yingbo is his second uncle, and he and Yechen's mother are legally recognized husband and wife, and they also gave birth to a cousin who has an exact blood relationship with him.

No matter how unwilling and unrecognizable Ye Chen is, their relationship can be seen as cousins.

If Xu Yuxing only had one, then he might not think so much at all. The young man has a fearless drive, if he likes it, he likes it, and if he likes it, he has to say it.

But he is nearly nine years older than Yechen.

As an adult, a grown-up.

He can't be happy for himself. Under the shackles of knowing that there is such an ethical relationship, he still relies on his age advantage and experience to lure Ye Chen with a blank emotional experience regardless.

Yechen was woken up by Ningning.

The puppet cat squatted at the door and meowed softly, not sure if it was hungry or wanted to go to the toilet.

He glanced at his phone, it was not yet five o'clock.

He couldn't find any shoes in the dark, so Yechen stepped on the floor barefoot and walked to the door.

The door just opened a gap, and Ning Ning has already got out impatiently.

He didn't close the door again, and planned to leave the door open so that Ningning could enter the house later.

When turning around, lightning and thunder came one after another, Ye Chen paused, opened the door and looked at the sofa: "Xu Yuxing?"

He hasn't woken up yet, his voice is slightly hoarse, and his tone is softer than usual.

Xu Yuxing unconsciously softened his voice and replied, "Huh?"

People who smoke are more sensitive to the taste of nicotine, and they also frown slightly, and their eyes adapted to the darkness are precisely positioned on the ashtray full of cigarette butts on the coffee table.

Xu Yuxing never allowed people around him to smoke second-hand smoke, and as soon as he heard the sound of the guest bedroom, he put out the half of the cigarette butt left in his hand.

He withdrew his hand, walked to the wall and turned on the ventilation function of the fresh air system.

"Woke up by the sound of rain?" Back in the living room, Xu Yuxing stepped on the lid of the trash can and poured the ash into it.

Yechen shook his head, Ningning had already come out from the balcony and ran into the kitchen to drink water.

Xu Yuxing understood: "I'll change the door of your room when I find time."

Install a small door for pets to avoid being woken up by cats in the middle of the night.

Yechen: "Why aren't you asleep yet?"

Xu Yuxing paused: "Insomnia."

He glanced at Ye Chen, and smiled slightly under the eyes of the other party who seemed a little worried but didn't know how to speak.

Added: "It's okay, once in a while. But you should go to bed soon, it's time to get up and go to the studio later."

Xu Yuxing went to the kitchen with the ashtray, but Yechen followed by a strange error.

The former looked sideways at him.

Yechen didn't know what he was doing, he just felt that Xu Yuxing seemed to be in a low mood, insomnia, and sitting in the living room in the middle of the night with the lights on and smoking non-stop?

Originally, I wanted to ask a question, but after meeting Xu Yuxing's questioning gaze, I couldn't say it.

In fact, he was not thirsty at all, but he explained: "Pour some water and drink."

After finishing speaking, he emphasized the sentence: "Dry mouth."

He stopped in front of the refrigerator and took out a bottle of mineral water from it.

Xu Yuxing threw the ashtray into the sink, turned around and took the water from his hand and put it back in the refrigerator.

"In the middle of the night, don't let your stomach get cold."

He took a glass of water under the water filter, put it on the power supply, and pressed the boiling button.

Yechen sat by the Nakajima stage and waited.

The small cup of water boiled very quickly, and it dripped within a few tens of seconds. Xu Yuxing poured some cold water into it, and mixed it with warm water that was just right for him: "Drink it and go to sleep."

Yechen: "Yes."

Ning Ning jumped onto the Nakajima platform and washed her face with her paws.

Yechen touched it, watched Xu Yuxing put down the water glass and glanced down, then turned and turned on the light in his room, and walked out with his slippers after a while.

Xu Yuxing threw the slippers by the bar chair and scolded him softly: "I don't even wear shoes."

Yechen put down the water glass: "Xu Yuxing."

Xu Yuxing: "Huh?"

Yechen spoke quickly and asked awkwardly: "Are you really just insomnia?"

Xu Yuxing laughed: "Why do you ask like that?"

Because you look weird.

Ye Chen stared at him without saying a word.

But Xu Yuxing had already read it from his eyes.

Children are more sensitive.

Xu Yuxing raised his eyebrows and said, "You care about me so much?"

He spoke slowly and deliberately dragged his tune, sounding foolish.

Yechen stood up like a cat whose tail was stepped on, with an unhappy expression on his face: "I love to talk but not to talk."

Ning Ning jumped off the Nakajima platform and followed behind Ye Chen.

Xu Yuxing was the only one left in the living room.

He suppressed his smile, turned on the faucet to rinse the ashtray and the water glass he had just used, the sound of the water intermingled with the sound of the rain outside.

Xu Yuxing saw Yechen's bare feet stepping on the floor, as if someone was holding a video camera, and the lens followed Yechen's thin Achilles tendon all the way up...

With deep eyes, he turned and leaned against the pool to light a cigarette.

The reason why Xu Yuxing was so irritable.

It was because Yechen didn't hide in Qingcheng that night.
