are you a cat

After Yechen left, Xu Yuxing fell asleep until noon, and then woke up from hunger.

When he opened his eyes, the first thing he did was not to open the delivery software, but to send a message to Yechen asking him what he had for lunch.

It happened to be meal time, and Ye Chen replied almost in seconds, just two words: cafeteria.

[X.]: Let me see what to eat.

So Wen Xu, who was sitting opposite Ye Chen, saw Ye Chen put down his chopsticks suddenly, and took a picture of the dinner plate with a reluctant face.

After returning from the music festival, this is not the first time that Yechen took a picture while eating, and Wen Nu stuffed it into his mouth, and couldn't help but guess who he was chatting with.

Yechen put down his phone after taking the photo, and received a message from Xu Yuxing after a while, this time it was a photo of Piaoxue: It's snowing, kid.

Yechen glanced at the goose-feather-like heavy snow flying in the air outside the cafeteria door, and the roadside flower beds and treetops had already been covered with a thin layer.

The capital ushered in the first snowfall after winter, and this was the first time Yechen, who lived in the south since childhood, saw such a heavy snowfall.

But his excitement was overdrawn when he went out in the morning and found light snow floating in the sky.

So he answered Xu Yuxing with one word without pain: Oh.

Xu Yuxing was puzzled: that's it?Children in the south are not excited when they see the snow—is it falling?

[C.]: That's it.

Xu Yuxing stared at these words, as if he could see Ye Chen's resigned face.

He laughed and was about to type a reply when he was interrupted by an incoming call.

The caller is Yu Xin.

The two didn't have much contact with each other usually, so it was quite surprising that he suddenly called Xu Yuxing. He answered the phone with a friendly tone: "Sister Xin?"

"Ah Xing," Yu Xin asked, "I saw your circle of friends last night, isn't Chen Chen at home?"

It was only then that Xu Yuxing remembered that he had indeed taken a sneak shot last night—the back of Zhang Yechen's hanging beam and serious study, and posted it to Moments.

As for Yechen's coming to the capital for training, he didn't even tell his aunt who was helping at home.

Students in the third year of high school have a lot of homework, so it is normal for them to leave early and return late. Yechen found Ning Ning a door-to-door feeder, and the aunt—cleaned the house twice a week—has not found anything unusual.

Xu Yuxing said lightly, "Xiaochen is training in the capital."

Yu Xin was stunned: "What training camp?"

Xu Yuxing: "He is learning to paint, don't you know?"

Yu Xin really didn't know, Yechen had a rigid relationship with her, and would never take the initiative to tell her anything related to him, sometimes even asking Yechen would not tell her.

If she hadn't seen Xu Yuxing's circle of friends, she would still have thought that Yechen was preparing for the third year of high school in Rongcheng.

"This child..." She couldn't help being a little angry. It wasn't that Qi Yechen didn't tell herself that he was studying painting, but that Qi Yechen didn't tell him such a big thing as going to a place so far from the capital to attend a training camp.

Yu Xin was out of breath: "It's such a big deal to leave school, why didn't the school notify the parents!"

"Oh."

Xu Yuxing remembered: "Xiaochen's application for leaving school was filled out by me."

Yu Xin: "Then why didn't you tell me?"

"If Xiaochen thinks about it, he will tell you himself." Instead of letting him, an outsider, fill out the application.

Yu Xin couldn't help complaining: "It's not that you don't know, he won't tell me anything. I, a mother, have to go through you to find out, sometimes I really don't know why Chen Chen Now he rejects me so much, he was obviously not like this when he was a child..."

Xu Yuxing was a little annoyed. He took out a cigarette case from the suitcase and took a cigarette, but he didn't smoke. He interrupted her with a flat tone: "Sister Xin."

Xu Yuxing called him politely, and asked, "You've been criticizing Xiaochen, why don't you find the reason for yourself?"

The voice on the other end of the phone stopped abruptly.

Xu Yuxing's voice was a little cold: "Art candidates leave school and require their parents to fill out the school leaving application. Why don't you think about why Xiaochen would rather find me, an outsider, to pretend to be a parent than you?"

Yu Xin was silent, Xu Yuxing added: "Xiaochen has left Rongcheng for more than two months."

For two months, how could it be possible for the parents to provide snacks—I don’t know.

The phone was silent for a long time before I remembered Yu Xin's disappointed voice: "I was blocked by him."

Xu Yuxing didn't show her any favors, and the questioning made Yu Xin a little bit embarrassed: "If you are blocked, you can't use another mobile phone to call, and you can't come to the door? He has lived in my house for so long and I haven't seen you come to see him."

"I..." Yu Xin said with some difficulty, "I'm afraid he doesn't want to see me."

Because of Yechen's strong resistance and rebellion, Yu Xin was afraid—the conflict would escalate when seeing Yechen, actually?

Although Xu Yuxing didn't know, he guessed that Yechen had dragged Yu Xin out of the blacklist long ago.

Maybe Yechen has been waiting for Yu Xin's initiative to contact?

But in fact, did Yu Xin really have no contact with Yechen at all?

He contacted Ye Chen when he had just moved out from Xu Yuxing's house.

Xu Anxia told Yu Xin what happened that day immediately after returning home. She educated Yu Ning at home and wanted to call Ye Chen to explain, but she was hung up and blocked after she started.

"Yuning Kindergarten made a new friend, and that kid's family happened to be in a similar situation to ours. He had a half-sister in his family, and the nanny who came to pick him up from school always liked to gossip and talk to others about— Gossip, Ning Ning heard it a few times by chance, and only said those words when he was influenced."

Yu Xin explained a little tiredly: "But Chen Chen didn't give me a chance to explain at all. Ah Xing, you and Chen Chen have a good relationship, you can help your sister tell Chen Chen, my younger brother will say such things when he is young and ignorant , he didn't mean anything malicious."

Yu Xin never realized that it was these words of favoring Yu Ning and defending Yu Ning that created an irreconcilable conflict between her and Ye Chen.

Xu Yuxing didn't want to hear this: "Sister Xin, this matter is over. If you want to ease the relationship with Xiaochen, I advise you not to mention this matter in front of him."

"Even when getting along with Yechen, it's best not to even mention Yu Ning." He emphasized.

"But they are brothers!"

Yu Xin doesn't understand, a child in the mother's womb, obviously Yu Ning should be the closest and most bonded person to Ye Chen besides her, she is destined to leave one step earlier than them, after she is gone, she can only rely on her brothers The two support each other, why can't they get along well?

Why can't Yechen accept Yu Ning?

"Ah Xing," Yu Xin said, "help me persuade—persuade Chenchen, why doesn't he understand this truth?"

Xu Yuxing was completely impatient. He pushed open the window, watched the flying snow outside and lit the cigarette between his lips and teeth.

"Since you gave Yuning this name, they are destined not to get along well." The room was warm like spring, and the outside was windy and snowy. Crystal snowflakes fell on Xu Yuxing's finger holding the cigarette and melted instantly.

Xu Yuxing's voice seemed to be tainted with Xuehua's chill: "Do you still remember who originally this name belonged to?"

Wen Xu felt very strange.

Evening classes are over at ten o'clock, and the closer the entrance exam is, the whole studio is plunged into a tense atmosphere where life and death race against time. Although I still step out every day, I basically finish all my homework in the classroom.

Not to mention Ye Chen who was already very serious and hardworking.

So he felt very strange about Ye Chen's behavior of handing in his homework before school time and leaving the classroom.

This may be the first time that Ye Chen has left early since the training camp.

And because he left in a hurry, he even forgot the scarf in the classroom.

Although there is heating indoors in the north, the outdoor wind is like a sharp knife cutting flesh when it blows on the skin. It is dry and strong, as if it can directly wring a person's head off.

Although it's only a ten-minute walk from the studio to Yechen's house, it's still hard to resist not wearing a scarf.

Wen Xu hurriedly handed in his homework, grabbed his scarf and chased downstairs.

Ye Chen walked a few minutes earlier than him, so if he ran faster, he should be able to catch up with him at the school gate.

Wen Xu jumped down the steps in a few steps, and while putting on her scarf and gloves, she ran towards the school gate.

It's down-the sky, the snow on the ground is thick-layer, and it creaks when you step on it.

He put on his hat, and the closer he got to the school gate, the slower he walked.

Finally stopped completely.

Holding Yechen's scarf, Wen Xu stared straight at the two people under the street lamp not far away on a cold winter night when his breath was filled with white mist.

Just as Ye Chen walked out of the school gate, he was a little surprised to see the people under the street lamp: "Why are you here?"

"Of course it's to pick up my children from school." Xu Yuxing looked at him with a smile, and tied the scarf that he took off from his neck to Yechen's neck.

The soft woolen fabric that still retains his body temperature is gently attached to Yechen's neck, which has been blown so cold by the wind for a long time. It is obviously fragile and soft, but it resists the cold wind like an iron wall, leaving only the warmth and the woody perfume he often uses the taste of.

Xu Yuxing lowered his head to help Yechen tidy the scarf, Yechen was stunned for a few seconds, then raised his hand to take it off: "No, I'm not cold."

Xu Yuxing grabbed his hand, Yechen was not used to wearing gloves, his hands had cooled down extremely shortly after he left the classroom, his fingertips turned red from the cold, on the other hand, when Xu Yuxing was waiting for him, he kept putting the shou in his pocket, which was abnormal warm.

The temperature of the hands of the two people is very different.

Xu Yuxing held Yechen's popsicle-like hand, squeezed it, and said with a chuckle, "That's not what your hand said."

As he spoke, he held one in each of his hands, cupping his own face with Yechen's hand.

Ye Chen shivered.

Xu Yuxing's smile was a bit nasty: "Isn't it cold?"

not cold.

That is impossible.

Ye Chen exerted a little force, trying to pull his hand out of his palm.

Xu Yuxing refused, moved to his mouth and blew a few breaths of hot air on his fingertips, and rubbed them again: "I still have the paintbrush, don't freeze it."

The white mist flicked on the fingertips, and it dissipated when touched.

It's like a cat's fur is lightly brushed on his body.

Yechen blinked, and when Xu Yuxing was about to pinch his hand and stuff it into his pocket, he pulled it out forcefully.

Leaving the heat source, the fingers were immediately wrapped in the cold wind.

Ye Chen put his hands in his pockets and walked straight forward.

Xu Yuxing smiled and followed.

He asked Yechen, "How do you want to play tomorrow?"

Yechen didn't think about this at all, and looked sideways at him: "I don't know."

Xu Yuxing said, "Then let's go to the playground."

Yechen frowned, a little disgusted: "How old are you and you still go to the playground, are you childish?"

"Then are you going?" Yechen's head sank, Xu Yuxing rubbed his head indiscriminately, and drew a long tail, "Xiao, friend, friend."

"Don't go."

Having said that, Yechen still appeared in the playground the next day.

And under Xu Yuxing's slapstick, he smirked and took a photo with the dolls in the playground.

Xu Yuxing held up the camera: "Ningning, can you smile-laugh?"

With such a stinky face again, the children next to him will cry in fright.

On Yechen's wrist is tied the same transparent hydrogen balloon that Xu Yuxing insisted on buying for him as a child, and on top of his head - a pair of cat ears, with the intention of killing people, how can he laugh.

Sensing the eyes of people around him, he urged Xu Yuxing impatiently: "Hurry up, are you ready?"

"Okay." Xu Yuxing let him go, and - while flipping through the photos just taken - approached him, he saw that Yechen was picking his ears, he quickly pressed his hand, and looked at the time: "I've only been wearing it for 10 minutes .”

It has been worn for 10 minutes!

It is also very hot.

Xu Yuxing said: "Don't play tricks just because you are young."

Yechen: "..."

10 minutes ago, Xu Yuxing fell in love with this pair of cat ear headbands in the amusement park store, and thought they were very suitable for Ye Chen. He bought them secretly and even chased Ye Chen for half of the playground and wanted him to wear them, but Ye Chen had a tough attitude. —No room for negotiation at all.

Then Xu Yuxing suggested rock-paper-scissors.

Every time he cheated, he had to use rock-paper-scissors, and he lost every time. When he lost, he had the audacity to ask Yechen to fulfill his promise.

Yechen is determined not to be fooled by him.

So Xu Yuxing proposed to win two out of three rounds, and if he won, Ye Chen would listen to him.

Yechen didn't want to talk to him at first, but Xu Yuxing was annoying to death. Although he didn't understand why this person liked such childish little tricks so much, but thinking that he had lost every time before, he finally agreed reluctantly. .

In the end, Xu Yuxing won.

After all, Yechen did not escape the pair of cat ears, which were shameful both in appearance and in touch.

After half an hour, he was numb to it.

When a child pointed at his head and wanted to buy a pair of ears of the same style, he finally couldn't bear it anymore, took off his ears and threw them on the ground: "Whoever loves it, wear it!"

Xu Yuxing bent down to pick it up, put it on his head, and then waved his paw at Yechen: "Meow."

Yechen: "..."

He didn't open his eyes and coughed lightly, took out his phone and clicked it: "It's suitable for you."

Xu Yuxing showed a meaningful smile, and somehow got a headband of the same style and poked it on Yechen's head.

He hooked Yechen's shoulders to embrace him, and at the same time held down the hand he wanted to raise: "Then let's wear it together."

Yechen: "..."

He was shocked to see Xu Yuxing wandering around the playground calmly with his ears on his ears.

This man is really shameless!

Xu Yuxing's unconventional hair and the peculiar picture of the pair of cat ears attracted the attention of countless tourists. As the center of sight, he was very calm and dragged Yechen to play exciting projects.

— After sitting on it, he grabbed Yechen's hand: "Ningning, I'm afraid of heights."

Yechen fastened his seat belt, turned his head and stared at him for a moment, then he pulled out his hand and reminded Xu Yuxing, "Why aren't you afraid of heights when you're standing on the roof of our school?"

— Xu Yuxing, who was exposed in seconds, was not in a hurry. He held Yechen's hand, and he was confident: "The roof of your school is safer."

"This jumping machine is a bit exciting." The hands on the side where the two touched were held together. Xu Yuxing squeezed his five fingers into the gap between Yechen's fingers and clasped them tightly during the process of slowly rising. "I'm afraid, so you Hold me tight and give me a sense of security."

Yechen's expression didn't fluctuate, and he met Xu Yuxing's eyes, as if he wanted to confirm how true or false what he said.

Xu Yuxing still had that smile on his face. Anyway, he couldn't see a trace of panic or fear on his face, but his words were firm: "Don't let go, or I'll cry for you."

Ye Chen looked away with disgust on his face, and fell in front to overlook the entire playground.

But he didn't let go of Xu Yuxing's hand.

The jumping machine climbed to the highest point, and suddenly someone called him: "Xiaochen."

Yechen looked at Xu Yuxing, and felt that the other person's smile was shaking, and his lips were warm. Before he could fully react, his whole body was pulled down by a huge force, the surrounding scenery was shaken into pieces, and his ears were full of voices one after another. Broken scream.

And Xu Yuxing laughed and shouted the most happily.

When the game was over, Yechen frowned and looked at Xu Yuxing.

Xu Yuxing pushed the safety lever: "What's the matter, is there something uncomfortable?"

Yechen's heartbeat has not completely calmed down: "You..."

Did you kiss me?

This sentence was pressed between the teeth by the tip of the tongue, but in the end Ye Chen still didn't ask.

He unbuttoned his seat belt: "Your acting skills are terrible."

How can anyone who is afraid of heights have bright eyes after jumping off a building?

Xu Yuxing smiled meaningfully.

It doesn't matter whether the acting is bad or not, as long as it works.

He followed behind Yechen: "What else do you want to play?"

"Xu Yuxing."

Yechen called his name leisurely, he looked ahead, and said with a little joy for the first time: "You said before that you are timid and afraid of ghosts, is it true?"

Xu Yuxing: "..."

The entrance of the ghost town ahead is bloody and horrifying. The entrance is pitch black, and there is a faint sound effect for haunted houses coming from that black hole.

Xu Yuxing: "..."

He coaxed Yechen to go home with him before, and lied to the children that he was afraid of ghosts after watching a horror movie.

Although his acting skills at that time were as bad as he was on the jumping machine just now, it was so bad that anyone with eyes knew that he was pretending.

But he is, terrified of ghosts.

Also afraid of cockroaches and mice.

Seeing his shrunken face, I understood. It was the first time he took the initiative to reach out to Xu Yuxing, and he really felt a little proud of catching other people's weaknesses at this age: "You seem to be really afraid this time. ah."

Xu Yuxing sighed heavily, held Yechen's hand, and said calmly, "Yes, I'm afraid."

—As he approached the entrance of the ghost city, Yechen felt Xu Yuxing grasp his hand tightly.

His other hand tightly wrapped around his arm, obviously bigger than him - the whole circle, but he wished that his whole body would stick to Yechen's body.

He was really scared.

"Or..." Forget it.

Ye Chen wanted to say.

It was pitch black all around, with will-o'-the-wisps floating indistinctly. His eyes, which hadn't fully adapted to the darkness, couldn't even see Xu Yuxing's face clearly. He could only hear him leaning over and whispering in his ear: "Child, you must protect me."

Yechen, who had been led away by Xu Yuxing since they met, and was taken care of and protected by him, at that moment suddenly had the idea that this person was very fragile.

After exiting the haunted house, Xu Yuxing seemed to have gone through ninety-nine or eighty-difficulties.

In other words, the haunted house was too fake, and there were not many real NPCs, but it just happened to be - a gust of wind could scare Xu Yuxing enough to open the curtains.

—At first, he was still able to maintain his rationality and pulled Yechen, and he screamed earth-shatteringly when he encountered a mechanism installed on the wall, and then hugged Yechen with his backhand.

That's right, before going in, he asked Yechen to protect him well, but he was scared to death and still thought about protecting Yechen first.

If Yechen was moved the first time, comforted the second time, and tolerated the third time, Yechen who was hugged into Xu Yuxing's arms by Xu Yuxing because of a big fart the fourth time was just impatient.

The game can be cleared painlessly in 10 minutes, because Xu Yuxing was delayed for 10 minutes in it.

At this time, Xu Yuxing sat on the bench by the roadside with empty eyes, walking very peacefully.

After coming out of the haunted house, it was already dark, and there was a fireworks show at the playground after nine o'clock in the evening, and the square was already crowded with people waiting to watch the fireworks.

The bench that Yechen's Xu Yuxing was sitting on just happened to face a flower garden by the side of the square, it was just a corner, and if he wanted to watch the fireworks, he had to turn around, so it wasn't a good position.

However, neither of them had much interest in such fleeting and splendid things as fireworks.

The two sat on the bench to rest, and Xu Yuxing asked Yechen, "Are you sleepy, tired, or cold?"

Yechen didn't even lift his eyelids, and didn't bother to talk to him.

The wind was still a bit strong at night, Xu Yuxing moved to the side of Yechen, and got closer to him.

Yechen looked at him, but didn't move.

The two sat for a while, and Yechen stood up first: "I'm going back."

After finishing speaking, the crowd waiting to watch the fireworks behind the flower garden suddenly became noisy, the castle of smoke in the square began to flicker, amidst the sound of music, clusters of fireworks exploded in the dark night, and shooting stars scattered like trailing luminous tails.

The successive fireworks illuminated every corner of the amusement park, including this corner of the square with its back against the flower garden.

Although Yechen doesn't have much love for fireworks, since he meets them, it's not that he can't appreciate them more.

The gorgeous fireworks cast different colors on Yechen's face, he looked up at the sky, a beautiful line stretched out on his chin and neck.

Xu Yuxing was still sitting on the bench, his entire face was hidden in the dark.

His gaze slipped from Yechen's face to his throat.

Xu Yuxing bent his fingers and gently hooked Yechen's hand.

Yechen lowered his head in awareness, the fireworks were still going on, and the sound of bang bang bang was endless, and they all bloomed in Yechen's dark pupils.

Yechen looked at Xu Yuxing suspiciously.

Xu Yuxing asked: "Xiaochen, do you still remember what I said?"

Yechen hesitated for a while, but didn't remember: "What are you talking about?"

Xu Yuxing said, "Think about it again."

Ye Chen always felt that the answer was ready to come out, but he dared not say it.

His hesitation made Xu Yuxing smile, and the fingertips that hooked his fingers lightly rubbed the root of his fingers, his movements were a little ambiguous: "Is it because I haven't shown it clearly enough?"

too obvious.

—Once Xu Yuxing wanted to speak, Yechen became nervous and subconsciously wanted to escape.

He quickly withdrew his hand, but Xu Yuxing was faster than him, and his fingers were only pulled out by a tiny bit before they were grabbed again.

Xu Yuxing did not allow him to escape this time.

He was still sitting on the bench, looking up at Ye Chen: "Xiao Chen, you should know that I like you, right?"

Yechen's eyelashes trembled slightly, and he lowered his eyes to avoid his sight.

Xu Yuxing asked, "What about you, do you like me?"

"I think..." Xu Yuxing paused, "You should like me too."

He didn't put any question marks, just used declarative sentences.

I like this kind of thing, although it can't be seen or touched, but it can be visualized and felt.

Ye Chen was silent.

He couldn't deny it, but he couldn't admit it either.

He could accept his feelings in private, but he didn't dare to confront Xu Yuxing.

Because he is afraid.

He was afraid that once he admitted that he liked him in front of Xu Yuxing, he would have to take the road of accepting the confession, and the two of them would be together.

Then destined to separate.

Yechen still can't believe in love.

This is the trauma left by Yu Xin and Ye Zeyang.

Yechen looked at him, neither denied nor admitted, just said: "Xu Yuxing, I don't want to fall in love."

Xu Yuxing had probably already guessed it.

There will always be a scar in Yechen's heart. To him, love is probably as fragile as an egg. Any sharp thing needs to be stabbed lightly or only needs to be bumped somewhere, and it will be broken.

But in fact, if the egg is evenly stressed, it can even withstand a force of 34.1 kilograms. *

"I understand." Xu Yuxing said, "I don't want to force you to make a decision, I just want to tell you that if I like you, I can wait for you."

He stood up, rubbed Yechen's head, and put his palm on the back of his neck.

Xu Yuxing looked into Yechen's eyes, both of them were very calm, Xu Yuxing said: "Don't worry, just let nature take its course."

Xu Yuxing didn't want to use any means to build Yechen's trust in him.

What he needs is for Yechen to open up and accept him and both of them naturally.

Yechen lowered his eyes: "Thank you."

"It's rare to hear you thank you." Xu Yuxing smiled, and he pinched the back of his neck lightly, "But thank you is not enough, I also want to pay some interest in advance."

Yechen was inexplicably vigilant: "What?"

After finishing speaking, Xu Yuxing's smiling face magnified in front of his eyes, and all kinds of fireworks in the distance rushed to the sky at the same time, exploding back and forth under the dark blue night, and the brilliant fireworks illuminated the corner of this flower garden as bright as day.

Xu Yuxing half hooked his waist, and kissed Yechen's lips in the blooming fireworks.

He bit Ye Chen's lower lip lightly, and smiled lightly.

"Kids, you have to open your mouth when kissing."
