to imply

"Fuck! It's so beautiful!"

Xu Xie was stunned in place until Yu You rushed over to hang him on the shoulder and yelled loudly in his ear, then he came back to his senses, stretched out his hand and pushed Yu You's head away: "Didn't you already watch it? What is the play?" Woolen cloth?"

"You've wronged me if you said that." Yu You stood up straight, "Didn't I go into the mountains before, and I didn't finish my activities until midnight last night, and I fell asleep until I drove the go-kart with you this afternoon. Time to come and see."

Xu Xie didn't know if he believed it or not, so he didn't reply, his eyes turned around and fell on Fang Zhi who was at the end of the crowd.

Except for Yu You who ran into the house early, everyone else crowded at the door and bent over to change their slippers.

Only Fang Zhi stood on the periphery with his eyes downcast. His tall and thin figure had the typical thinness of a young man. He looked lonely and seemed a little at a loss.

Xu Xie looked at it for a while, then bypassed the shoe-changing crowd and walked over to Fang Zhi, took out a pair of slippers from the shoe cabinet and put them at his feet, then straightened up and whispered to him, "After you came last time, I will give you a pair of slippers." You are ready... put on and come in."

Before the light was turned on, the place was a bit dark, Fang Zhi lowered his head, and his face was buried in the shadows.

From Xu Xie's perspective, he couldn't see the expression on his face clearly, only his eyelashes fluttered a few times quickly.

Xu Xie waited for a while, but before Fang Zhi could change his slippers, he couldn't help asking him, "What's the matter? I specially picked out the kitten pattern, don't you like it?"

Fang Zhi choked for a moment: "...No."

I didn't like it, but I didn't react right away.

He thought it was a casual remark before, but he never thought that he would really have his own pair of exclusive slippers here.

Xu Xie waited for a while, and when Fang Zhi began to bend over to change his shoes, staring at the back of his hairy head, he suddenly said, "Brother Fang, I have a question for you."

"Ok?"

"Are you also involved in the decoration?"

Fang Zhi staggered.

Xu Xie understood from his reaction.

Finding out the reason why Fang Zhi avoided him a few days ago, Mr. Xu bent his eyes in a good mood: "As expected of Mr. Fang, he put so much effort into celebrating someone's birthday for the first time."

Fang Zhi lowered his eyes to look at the cat pattern on the slippers, avoided Xu Xieru's serious gaze, and remained silent for a while.

Several other people had already entered the room one after another, and the voices gradually faded away, so the place where they were standing became quiet.

Xu Xie stared at Fang Zhi for a while in the silence, and was about to say, "Let's go in too", when the other party suddenly spoke in a low voice.

"There are more attentive ones." Fang Zhi withdrew his gaze from the cat pattern, and looked up at Xu Xie, "Want to see it?"

Originally, he didn't want to give away the gift so soon, but seeing the happy appearance of a certain birthday star, he wanted to offer the treasure inexplicably.

I want to make the person in front of me happier.

Xu Xie responded as expected.

Fang Zhi unzipped his chest bag, thought for a while, and then took out the black velvet box.

"It's the first time I prepare a gift for someone, and I don't know what to give." Fang Zhi stretched out his hand, and handed the box to Xu Xie, "See if you like it."

When Xu Xie took the box, he immediately withdrew his hand, and unconsciously scratched lightly on the index finger with his thumb.

"It's the first time... I'll save your face, I like whatever you give." Xu Xie said while opening the small box.

In fact, the moment he saw the box, he guessed that it should be a necklace or something, and he said that to make Fang Zhi happy, so that he would not be too psychologically burdened.

But when he saw the whole picture of the necklace in the box, he was still shocked.

The necklace in the box was different from any one he had seen on the market. Not only was it unique in shape, but it also had a stick figure panda head drawn by Xu Dae that he was very familiar with, as well as Fang Zhi's style of painting. Panda pendant.

Xu Xie took the necklace out of the box, carefully looked at it for a few seconds according to the light in the room, and then asked Fang Zhi in a hoarse voice: "Customized?"

"...ang." Fang Zhi raised his eyes to see his expression, his tone was expectant and anxious, "Do you like it? I'm really inexperienced..."

The second half of the sentence was half spoken, but he swallowed it back.

Because Xu Xie suddenly stepped forward and hugged him.

A furry head rested on his shoulders, and although the two arms around his waist were only slightly attached to the imaginary ring of his clothes, he still could not help but feel the warmth from his skin.

A little hot.

Fang Zhi lowered his eyes uncomfortably, but immediately raised his eyes after touching the back of Xu Xie's fair and slender neck, staring at a certain void in front of him and began to daze.

My mind wandered around in confusion for a while, and for some reason, I suddenly thought of what Boss Liang asked, was it for my boyfriend?

Male... friend?

Fang Xiaozhi admits that Xu Xie is very different to him, but at most, he is just a good friend.

Or go a little further, words such as brother and best friend cannot be applied to the relationship between the two.

But boyfriend...

Not to mention that he hasn't had this kind of consciousness for more than ten years, even if he has, he shouldn't be a man... right?

Someone Xu occupied his shoulder and did not move, and the snort from his breath splashed all over the side of his neck, and the itchy and hot feeling brought back his wandering thoughts.

He couldn't take it anymore, so he raised his neck with difficulty, and was about to shrug his shoulders to signal Xu Xie to get up, when the breathing on the side of his neck suddenly stopped, and then, Xu Xie's hoarse voice was buried in the fabric of his shoulders: "Thank you Brother Fang, I like it very much."

Fang Zhi was taken aback for a moment, and the muscles in his shoulder and neck slowly relaxed, acquiescing to Xu Xie's wordless movement.After a while, he said in a low voice: "Just like it, happy birthday."

When the two entered the room, the others had already sat around the round table.

"What are you two doing, why are you so slow?" Yu You had a trumpet voice, and whenever he saw someone, he yelled, "Can't find your slippers?"

Xu Xie was worried that he couldn't find a reason to explain why he just stayed at the door for so long, so Yu You called him and followed him: "Well, the slippers fell off the bottom of the shoe cabinet."

Ben was just asking casually, and the few people didn't get too entangled. After the birthday star came, he booed him to invite him to take a seat.

Fang Zhi followed Xu Xie and sat on a bean bag sofa next to him, with Lin Yufeng on the left.

As an insider, Lin Yufeng noticed the necklace on Xu Xie's neck at a glance.

"Is this going to be sent out?" Lin Yufeng pushed Fang Zhi with his shoulder and asked softly.

"En." Fang Zhi responded, then took out a photo bag from his bag and handed it to Lin Yufeng, "Here are your photos."

Lin Yufeng took it, opened the pocket and took out a photo. The original blurred parts of the photo were repaired, and even the blurred face in memory was restored to [-]|[-] points.

He pinched the photo and looked at it for a few seconds, then put it back into the bag, his voice was a little hoarse because of the sudden emotion: "Thank you."

"It's not a big deal." Fang Zhi touched the bridge of his nose uncomfortably, then turned to talk to Xu Xie.

After a few people sat and waited for a while, Grandma Zhou called and told them to come downstairs to serve the dishes.

"Hey, I see, right away." Lao Zhou hung up the phone, and greeted some geese who stretched their necks to watch him come downstairs, "The meal is ready, walk around, and serve the dishes."

Except for Fang Zhi, the group of people didn't eat anything at noon, so they just pointed to the good meal tonight, so as soon as Lao Zhou's words fell, the group of people stood up in response, pushing and walking towards the door.

"Hey, slow down, everyone is in such a hurry..."

As soon as Grandma Zhou put down her phone, she turned her head and saw a group of people rushing down the stairs.

In Yu You's heart, he was angry that Fang Zhi had taken away his dearest baby, so he rushed as fast as possible, wanting to be the first to perform well in front of his grandparents, and regain his own title in one fell swoop.

"Wow, it smells so good, grandma's craftsmanship is getting better and better!" He was still on the stairs, and his compliments would float downstairs first.

Grandpa Zhou just happened to come out of the kitchen. When he heard this, he unbuttoned his apron and said with a smile, "I've never tasted what I said before, but I know that the craftsmanship is getting better and better."

Grandma Zhou glared at him unhappily: "You think everyone is like you, and you can't even praise others."

"Yes, I don't know how to praise people." Grandpa Zhou habitually reached out and patted the top of her head, "It's up to Xiaoyou to coax you."

While the two were talking, a group of people had already rushed into the kitchen and walked upstairs with plates of dishes.

Fang Zhi fell behind Xu Xie, just as he was about to serve the corn rib soup on the table, when he turned around, Xu Xie stuffed a plate of sauced beef into his arms.

"You serve this, the soup is just out of the pot, but it's hot, I'm afraid you won't be able to handle it."

Fang Zhi thought he wasn't a waste to that point, and was about to open his mouth to argue with him, when Grandma Zhou came in with a smile: "That soup is really not good, Xiaoxie has experience, let him serve it."

The old man had already opened his mouth, Fang Zhi couldn't say anything more, and stood aside with the sauced beef, waiting for Xu Xie to bring the soup.

Grandma Zhou stood aside, the more she saw Fang Zhi's cuteness, the more she liked him, and she couldn't help talking to him: "Xiao Zhi, I heard from Xiaoxie that you are good at studying?"

...study well?

Fang Zhi glanced at a certain number one in the grade, a little embarrassed: "No... just so-so."

"It's just so-so. They all told me that you have good grades... you're handsome, good at studying, and you're such a good boy. I don't know how to get along with these monkeys."

As the saying goes, near stinks far away, other people's children are always better than their own. Grandma Zhou understands and practices very well.

Fang Xiaozhen had obviously never encountered such a situation. Facing Grandma Zhou's loving face, he clenched the plate in his hands at a loss, his head was a little dazed by a series of words he had never heard before. He shook his head again and again: "No, no... They are also very nice... Really, they are also very handsome..."

Xu Xie, who was behind him, didn't know whether it was a broken hand or something, and he hadn't brought up a plate of soup until now.A few minutes later, Fang Zhi finally couldn't stand it any longer, and couldn't help but wink at Xu Xie.

Someone Xu was enjoying listening to the opera, pretending not to see Fang Zhi's eyes, followed Grandma Zhou's words and said, "Isn't that right, people are very polite, just tell others to come, and in the end they bought it for me." What about presents?"

"So caring? What gift did you give?"

Avoiding Fang Zhi's gaze, Xu Xie walked up to Grandma Zhou and picked up the necklace hanging around her neck to show her: "That's it, doesn't it look good?"

Grandma Zhou put the pendant on her palm, put it in front of her eyes and looked at it carefully for a while, and said "Ouch": "It's beautiful...hey, what is this?"

Xu Xie followed Grandma Zhou's fingers and looked over. It was the panda painted by Fang Zhi.

"This one—" Mr. Xu dragged out his voice, and deliberately turned his body sideways so that Fang Zhi could see the movements of the two of them clearly, "This is a panda."

"This is also a panda?" Grandma Zhou looked at the pendant for a while, and then laughed out loud, "I didn't see it unless you told me, I thought it was a dog, just like the big ear raised by Mr. Zhao next door of."

Fang Zhi, whose painting skills have been seriously questioned: "..."

"Hahahahaha..." Xu Xie secretly glanced back at Fang Zhi's expression of loss of dignity, but couldn't hold back his laughter, and because of his grandma's support, he laughed extravagantly.

"What are you laughing at, silly boy." Grandma Zhou also smiled and rolled her eyes, and finally urged him, "Okay, hurry up and serve the food, or it will be cold...Xiao Zhi, be careful, don't fall gone."

"Good grandma." Upon receiving the instruction, Fang Zhi hurriedly turned around and fled from this place of right and wrong.

When Xu Xie came out of the kitchen with the soup, Fang Zhi had already reached the stairs alone.

He hurriedly followed and moved closer to Fang Zhi, with a lingering smile in his voice: "Are you angry?"

Fang Zhi stared at the sauced beef without saying a word.

"Don't be angry, grandma is not familiar with your painting style." Xu Xie leaned closer to him again, "But I know it well, I recognized it at a glance, this is a panda, where is the big ear next door."

Fang Zhi couldn't hear the word "big ears" now, so he raised his eyes and glared at him angrily: "Shut up."

"All right, all right, I'll shut up." Xu Xie quickly agreed, but he couldn't bear to let go of Fang Zhi's rare side, so he added another address, "Good boy."

Fang Zhi: "..."

He turned his face and looked indifferently at Xu Xie who was still complacent: "Let's fight."

"Don't, don't, it's wrong, it's wrong, don't make trouble, I still have soup in my hand." Seeing that Fang Zhizhen was about to put the sauced beef on the ground, Xu Xie hurried up the stairs, begging for mercy with a smile , "Today is my birthday, there is no blood."

"Get out now!"

The two laughed and laughed, and by the time they brought the dishes into the room, the others had already eaten.

"Why is it so slow to serve a dish?" Lao Zhou held his wine glass and made some half-true remarks, and then asked the two of them to go back to their seats for dinner.

Fang Zhi poured himself a glass of Coke. While drinking, he looked at the table full of rich and attractive dishes. He was hesitating which dish to start with, when he suddenly realized that there were no extra seats on the table.

"Then what... where are your grandparents? Aren't they coming to eat together?" Fang Zhi asked Xu Xie in a low voice.

"Ang, the old man has already eaten, and now he is probably going to dance in the square." Xu Xie picked a piece of fish and sent it to Fang Zhi's bowl, "They are very energetic."

"Hey, great talent Xu, get me a piece of fish." Sitting directly opposite them, Yu You saw that Xu Xie had caught Fang Zhi's fish, and he handed over his bowl, "That fish is too far away from me." gone."

Xu Xie ignored the bowl he stretched out, got up and put the fish in front of her to Yu You's side: "I moved it for you, if you want to eat, grab it yourself."

Yu Youxin was big, and he didn't feel that there was anything wrong with it. He thought it was Xu Dacai who was considerate and knew that he likes to eat fish and specially accommodated him.

But He Jing beside him obviously didn't think so.

He looked up at Xu Xie, then at Fang Zhi, finally lowered his head thoughtfully, peeled a shrimp and stuffed it into his mouth.
