please don't hold your breath waiting for me

3,

In the middle of the night, when Lin Sheng saw Xiong Pei squatting pitifully near his house, his expression finally softened obviously under the dim light of the street lamps.

"what are you doing here"

"Hey, what a coincidence that you live nearby too?" Xiong Pei stood up and walked towards him pretending to be surprised.

"Unfortunately." Lin Sheng looked at him blankly, "You don't live here at all."

Xiong Pei touched his nose in embarrassment, "Okay, okay, I'm waiting for you here, I think..."

"I don't want to know." Lin Sheng stood there motionless, "You go back"

Xiong Pei looked at the person in front of him. Although he didn't know what this person was thinking every day, he always felt that he was living in his own inexplicable principles.

"Okay." Xiong Pei tugged at his sleeve and smiled helplessly. "Then Lin Sheng, see you tomorrow." Before he finished speaking, he couldn't help but sneezed first. He kicked away the stones at his feet and stood there dazed for a while without getting any response. Reluctantly, he turned and left, like a bereaved squirrel who has tried his best but failed to get the fruit.

It took a long time before Lin Sheng was willing to set his eyes on Xiong Pei's leaving back, and it was clear that there was tenderness spreading in the fake coldness.

As soon as Lin Sheng got home and opened the door, he saw his mother sitting there crying silently. When he came back, she raised her head and looked at him with tears on her face. There was still a certain immaturity in her eyes. Lin Sheng Without speaking, he went back to bed and lay down for a long time, looking at the darkness above his head.

Xiong Pei, who came home that night, had a dream. In the dream, he seemed to be standing in one place waiting for someone.

In the evening, under the setting sun, a tall and thin boy in a white shirt appeared, walking towards him.

"Lin Sheng..." Xiong Pei uttered nervously first, then stood there motionless as if he was stuck, with a flustered expression on his face.

"Come down." Lin Sheng looked at him, as if there were too many things hidden in his eyes.

"Hey..." Before Xiong Pei could react, Lin Sheng pulled him down from the steps. Xiong Pei was so frightened that his heart almost jumped out. He looked at Lin Sheng's face so close and said nothing. not come out.

"Do you know why I'm here?"

"...do not know"

"because I like you"

"……What did you say?"

Xiong Pei looked around subconsciously, then pinched his own face again, "I don't care, this is too unconscious."

The wind was still blowing by his side, Lin Sheng smiled for the first time, and slowly whispered in Xiong Pei's ear, "I really, really like you".

Lin Sheng suddenly sat up from the bed, and was silent for a while, "Is this a fucking dream?" Then he stroked his hot head in a daze, "...Oh, it's burning stupid" and then silently Lie back on your own bed.
