Distraught

Shi Tian was holding the phone, his brows were slightly frowned, and after a while another call came in.

It was Chu Yang calling.

"Xiaotian, are you going home today?" The voice was gentle and low, and there was a faint sound of typing on the keyboard.

Shi Tian reckoned that he was busy, so he took the initiative to say: "Rong Yao was admitted to the Polytechnic Institute next door, and I will give him a ride back home today."

Chu Yang on the other end of the phone was silent for a while, as if he didn't expect this, and then he reacted: "Okay, see you that night."

"Okay." Shi Tian replied softly, and after listening to the slight voice from the opposite side, the words Vincent said circled in his mind, and he ruthlessly threw them into the trash can, " Then go ahead and see you tonight."

After speaking, he took the initiative to end the call and stuffed the phone back into his pocket.

"Brother Tian!" The voice was enthusiastic and excited.

When Shi Tian looked back, he found that Rong Yao was bouncing up and down and waving at him a few meters away.

Qingda was very close to the Polytechnic Institute next door, and when he learned that his military training was over and he was going home for the weekend, Rong Yao enthusiastically offered to give him a ride.

"Brother Tian, ​​there are too many people, and my car can't pass." Rong Yao was already sweating profusely when he came up to him, and a naive and silly smile filled his obviously darkened face.

A bit like Chu Dundun.

Shi Tian casually handed him a pack of tissues: "Wipe it."

Rong Yao waved his hands carelessly: "No need to wipe, this little sweat makes me look more manly!"

Shi Tian took a step aside: "Your sweat is almost splashing on my face."

Rong Yao 囧: "..." He almost forgot that Brother Tian has a cleanliness habit!

Rong Yao, who obediently wiped off his sweat, was like a quiet guide dog, leading Shi Tian through the bustling crowd, all the way to the parking space, pointing to one of the red BMWs: "Brother Tian, ​​look at my beloved car! You are the first lucky one I carried!"

Shi Tian's heart skipped a beat: "...Where's your driver?"

Rong Yao hasn't realized his worry yet: "I got a driver's license, I can drive by myself without a driver."

After Shi Tian got in the car, he fastened his seat belt immediately, held on to the handrail tightly, and reminded: "There are many cars near the school, please drive carefully."

Rong Yao: "Brother Tian, ​​don't worry, my subjects two and three are all one-off!"

So how many times have you failed subjects [-] and [-]?

The corner of Shi Tian's mouth was slightly pursed. Even though he had prepared himself mentally in advance, after he set off on the road, he found that he had still miscalculated.

"I'll go, the van next to me is so arrogant, it actually overtook my car!"

"Ahhh! What is the car in front doing? It's all green and it still doesn't move. Are you playing with your phone in the car?"

"Damn it, doesn't this car turn on the turn signal when changing lanes? It's so unqualified!"

"He actually overtook another car on a downhill slope!"

Rong Yao didn't run a red light or speed when driving, but... he forced Lai Lai and talked a lot.

Shi Tian listened to him talking all the way, and suddenly realized deeply: when Chu Yang was driving, the people sitting next to him were so worry-free, the speed was stable, the old driver had a good attitude, never made blind comparisons, and was a "professional chatter" ", can answer all kinds of difficult and miscellaneous diseases, it is perfect.

"Fuck! Chasing, rear-end chasing."

There was a thud, and the car shook accordingly.

Rong Yao nervously unbuttoned his seat belt: "Brother Tian, ​​what should we do?"

"The rear-end collision is our full responsibility. You call, contact the traffic police, and then contact the insurance company. I will communicate with the owner of the car in front."

After Shi Shi got out of the car, he found that the person in the car in front was acquainted.

"Your car?" Lu Wei glanced at him.

"My friend's car has already contacted the traffic police. You should also report it to the insurance company." Shi Tian glanced at the car logo, it is a new model that just came out recently.

"Already contacted." Lu Wei paused, "Talk?"

Shi Tian turned around and greeted Rong Yao, and got into the passenger seat: "What do you want to talk about?"

Lu Wei looked at him carefully for a few seconds, and asked with a gloomy expression: "Do you hate me?"

Shi Tian was puzzled: "Why do you ask that?"

Lu Wei pouted mockingly: "The old man told me about my life experience and about you, although he didn't tell me who switched the two babies when they were born, but I'm not a fool , I can more or less guess some."

"I heard that you grew up in a border town, that place..." The corner of Lu Wei's mouth curled up with a trace of bitterness. Teenagers know what a border town is, and the crime rate is frighteningly high. The industry is entrenched, and it borders on a major drug trafficking and smuggling country.

"There are also some places with simple folk customs in the border town."

Shi Tian smiled lightly, he was considered lucky among misfortunes, at least he lived to adulthood safe and sound, instead of being abducted by the criminal industry chain to obtain organs forcibly.

"No one can change what has happened in the past, it is better to look forward to the future."

"You are open-minded." Lu Wei gave him a complicated look, "If it were me, I'm afraid it won't be so easy to let go."

Shi Tian just smiled and said nothing, he is a person who has died once, and if he can't think about it, wouldn't it be hard for him?

Lu Wei turned her head to look forward, put her hands on the steering wheel, and said in a low voice: "I have moved out of Lu's house, and I am currently renting an apartment near the college. If you want to go back to Lu's house, you can go back anytime."

Shi Tian glanced at him not unexpectedly, although he didn't have much contact with him before, he could somewhat guess the reason why the other party did this.

"Actually, I am very grateful for your appearance." Lu Wei took a deep breath and continued, "After being freed from such a heavy shackle, I can concentrate on doing what I want to do, chasing freedom, and seeing what I have been doing before. longing for the world."

"Long live freedom." Shi Tian smiled.

Lu Wei turned around and smiled at him: "Long live freedom."

The conversation ended when traffic police arrived at the scene.

After the relevant procedures were completed, when Shi Tian returned to Yipin Garden, it was already close to five o'clock.

What greeted him was Chu Dundun's passionate cry.

Shi Tian watched it jump up and down in the yard, trying hard to climb out of the fence wall, and was so happy to take out his mobile phone to take [-] consecutive pictures of it on the spot. Unfortunately, compared with Chu Yang, his photography skills were still so inferior. a little.

Just as he was worrying about the photo, an elegant woody fragrance came from behind him, followed by his familiar voice: "Try another angle."

"You're back." Shi Tian turned around, his brows and eyes slightly curved, "I feel like I haven't seen you for half a month, and Dundun seems to have gained weight again."

Chu Yang nodded in agreement: "Probably because the food is too good."

"Will being too fat affect your health?" Shi Tian turned on the camera again and pointed at Chu Dundun, "Why don't we send him to the pet hospital for a checkup tomorrow?"

Chu Yang stretched out his hand to help him adjust the camera position: "I just went there yesterday, and the physical examination was fine. The doctor suggested a little diet control and more exercise."

In the shot, Chu Dundun, after failing to climb the wall, lay down on the spot with his belly upturned, and began to play dead.

"Crack."

With the help of Chu Yang, Shi Tian finally took a satisfactory photo: "It really looks like a pig."

Chu Yang chuckled, "Take the little pig out for a walk at night?"

"Okay." Shi Tian agreed without thinking, and when he raised his head to meet Chu Yang's amber pupils, he felt a little strange in his heart.

Perhaps because of the lighting problem, his eyes seemed to have an indescribable tenderness, focus and affection, and the light in his heart hit people's hearts directly.

Shi Tian was in a trance for a while, somehow, Vincent's words came out of the trash can tenaciously, and he began to crazily create a sense of existence.

"Well, I'll go back and take a shower first."

"Okay." Chu Yang didn't seem to notice his strangeness, his attitude was as gentle as ever, "Wang Ma made your favorite sauced beef and garlic prawns, come over for dinner tonight?"

"...Hmm." Shi Tian hesitated for a moment, then nodded, did he worry too much?

Chu Yang clearly said that there is someone he likes, but it is Bai Yueguang who has passed away long ago.

He has confirmed this matter again and again, and there should be no mistakes.

It's all Vincent's fault, and Kee sees Renji.

After returning home and taking a cold shower, Shi Tian finally calmed down, changed into loose and comfortable clothes, and went next door to eat.

I haven't seen him for a while, and Wang Ma missed him very much, and she kept talking: "Little Tian, ​​I haven't seen you for almost a month, and you have lost a lot of weight! The young master ordered the kitchen to cook a lot of your favorite dishes. Eat more."

Shi Tian responded with a smile, and when he learned that Chu Yang answered the phone after he came back, it seemed to be about work, and he was busy at the moment, so he decided to play with Chu Dundun.

"Aww! Aww!" In the yard, Chu Dundun was playing catch with Ye He.

Ye He tossed the ball lightly, and Chu Dundun ran out with his ass pouted and grunted, and took the ball back. After seeing Shi Tian, ​​he immediately ran to Shi Tian with the ball in his mouth.

"Aww!" The tail flicked happily.

Shi Tian picked up the ball from the ground with a smile, followed Ye He's example, and threw the ball, Chu Dundun chased it out with a whoosh.

"Ye He, I want to ask you something."

"What, what's the matter?"

"Do you know who Chu Yang liked before?"

Shi Tian noticed one thing very early: the relationship between Ye He and Chu Yang is not an ordinary employment relationship, they seem to have known each other for a long time, more precisely, Ye He's attitude towards Chu Yang, apart from respect In addition, there is a little strange longing and worship.

Originally, he never thought of inquiring about Chu Yang's privacy with others, but for some reason, he just asked out of his mouth by accident.

Ye He stood in front of him like a wooden man, but he didn't make a sound.

Shi Tian guessed that he asked an embarrassing question, and was about to say that it was not convenient to answer, but he saw the other party looking at him strangely, and said——

"Chu, Young Master Chu likes, likes you!"

"Huh?" Shi Tian was obviously taken aback, "What did you say?"

Ye He scratched his head, gestured a few times, and found that typing was faster, so he simply took out his phone.

Shi Tian looked at him and typed a few lines: [Young Master Chu didn't like anyone before, he only likes you! ]

Don't you have someone you like...?

Shi Tian's complexion changed slightly.

But thinking about it from another angle, falling in love with someone secretly and getting nothing, is not a glorious thing in itself, and Ye He doesn't know it, and it's not surprising.

Seeing that he looked sick, Ye He thought he didn't believe it, and continued to type: [Chu Shao really likes you, his attitude towards other people is very cold, only you are very gentle, he also has a cleanliness habit, never Don't go to food stalls to eat, but he will go to barbecue with you. ]

Shi Tian opened his mouth in surprise, Chu Yang is obsessed with cleanliness?But he obviously drank the same bottle of water and ate the cake he didn't finish.

Is it...

[Chu Shao is really good to you, don't doubt his sincerity to you. ] When Ye He finished typing this line, his eyes were clear and bright, and his expression was unusually serious.

He didn't lie.

Shi Tian was horrified to realize that everything the tall and thin young man said was the truth, at least what Ye He himself believed to be the truth.

"I got it." Shi Tian slowly came back to his senses, and forced himself to be calm, "Don't report this matter to him, is that okay?"

Ye He hesitated, then nodded: "Okay."

"Woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo" finally got the ball back.

"Ye He, play with Dundun for a while. I have something to do. Leave for a while and come back later." Shi Tian took a deep breath, feeling his mind was in a mess. In this state, it might not be appropriate to face Chu Yang directly.

"Okay." Ye He had no doubts about him.

Shi Tian returned home, changed his clothes, and asked the driver to take him to a nearby psychological consultation clinic.

He came late, and the front desk of the clinic just got off work. The young man in a white coat glanced at him and showed a kind smile: "What difficulties are you encountering, young man?"

Shi Tian glanced at him: "Are you the psychological counselor of this clinic?"

The man gestured to invite him in, led him into the office, and poured him a glass of warm water: "Please sit down."

Shi Tian hesitated for a moment, now he urgently needs to find someone to talk to, to help him sort out his chaotic thoughts.

"I have a friend, he is very important to me." His eyes drooped slightly, recalling the details of Chu Yang and Chu Yang after they first met in the border town, "He exists like a family, he has helped me a lot, a lot .”

So many that he couldn't count them all.

"I already regard him as my elder brother, but I just discovered that he seems to... like me, the kind of liking between a man and a woman." Shi Tian intertwined his fingers and clenched them tightly, his knuckles were faintly white, and his voice Confused and helpless, "I can't respond to his feelings, because I like girls."

"Are you troubled by his liking?" the man asked softly.

Shi Tian raised his head, met the man's gentle and encouraging gaze, and nodded hesitantly: "Yeah."

"Can you tell me what kind of trouble this is?"

Shi Tian shook his head slightly: "I don't know."

The man smiled gently: "Let me put it another way, when you found out that he likes you, what was your first reaction? It was disgust, disgust, and wishing to distance yourself from him immediately and draw a clear line?"

Shi Tian's eyelashes trembled slightly, and he slowly shook his head: "It seems not."

When Vincent confessed to him, he did subconsciously choose to avoid, not wanting to be entangled by the other party.

But Chu Yang...

"It's incredible, wondering if it's real, and... I'm pretty sure I can't reciprocate his feelings."

After Shi Tian finished speaking, he found that the man showed a sudden realization expression: "It's not difficult, you have this kind of worry, it just shows that you care about him, since you firmly believe that you can't respond to his feelings, then why not... Get things back to where they were."

"What do you mean?" Shi Tian thought he was not stupid, but now he was a little confused.

The man smiled and explained: "Pretend you don't know that he likes you, and just continue getting along as usual."

Shi Tian doubted: "Is this feasible?"

"Of course." The man nodded solemnly, "I like this kind of emotion, like a pot of boiling water, as time goes by, the temperature gradually drops from [-] degrees, and finally tends to normal temperature. Feelings that don't get a response, In the end, one party will definitely give up."

Will you give up if you don't get a response?

Shi Tian suddenly thought of the long-dead Bai Yueguang that Chu Yang was talking about.

He had been secretly in love with Bai Yueguang for so many years, and finally...

In the end, he fell in love with himself. Is this also a kind of giving up?

Thinking about it this way, Shi Tian seemed to understand: "Thank you, I probably understand."

He took out his wallet and was about to pay the consulting fee, but the man refused with a smile: "It's already off-duty time, and you won't be charged."

"Thank you." When he bowed slightly, when he walked out of the clinic, he felt a lot more relaxed, but he didn't know——

A few minutes after he left, the real psychiatrist from the psychological consultation clinic came back from the outside, and when he learned that her boyfriend had just received a guest on her behalf, he lost his temper: "You are a dentist pretending to be a psychiatrist, don't Is it okay to mislead people?"

When Shi Tian returned to Yipin Garden, it was already dark.

"Aww!" Chu Dundun was the first to greet him, and after escaping from the prison next to the fence wall, he kept throwing himself on him.

Shi Tian bent down and rubbed its dog's head.

"What happened?" Chu Yang followed closely, standing a few steps away from him, looking at him with an unclear expression.

Shi Tian shook his head as if nothing had happened: "It's nothing, just... went out to buy something."

He came back empty-handed, obviously not a good excuse.

Chu Yang didn't want to expose his intentions, and nodded lightly: "Let's eat first."

The dinner was very sumptuous. In addition to sauced beef and garlic prawns, there were Coca-Cola chicken wings, braised pork ribs, fish head tofu soup, hot and sour potato shreds, tomato scrambled eggs, and mushrooms fried vegetables. God likes to eat.

Shi Tian picked up his job, recalling in his head what Wang Ma said, "The young master ordered the kitchen to cook a lot of your favorite dishes", his eyes were slightly astringent, and it seemed a bit difficult to pretend that he didn't know anything.

"Not feeling well?" Seeing that he hadn't moved his chopsticks, Chu Yang stretched out his hand to caress his forehead.

Shi Tian was taken aback, subconsciously wanting to avoid his hand, and restrained this urge in a daze: Be normal, don't be seen out.

He was doing mental construction secretly, and when he looked up again, he pretended to be relaxed and smiled: "I don't feel uncomfortable, I just saw so many delicious foods at once, I don't know which one to eat first."

Chu Yang responded calmly: "Eat whatever you want, you can eat whatever you want."

After finishing speaking, he glanced lightly at Ye He on the other side.

Ye He, who was grilling rice, felt a chill on his back, hesitated for two seconds, and decided to pretend that he didn't notice anything, and continue to cook with his head bowed.

After the meal, Chu Dundun took the initiative to run to Shi Tian with the leash in his mouth, with an attitude of "take me out to play quickly".

Shi Tian put a leash on it, looked back at Chu Yang, and found that he was talking to Ye He, after thinking about it, he took Chu Dundun to play in the yard first.

After one person and one dog went out, Ye He hesitated for a long time, taking into account his promise to Shi Tian, ​​but in the end he didn't make a move: "Chu, Young Master Chu, if you want to pay it back or ask someone to beat me again... Have a meal!"

Chu Yang: "..."

Tonight, the moon and stars are scarce, the night wind is cool, and the light of the street lamps shines on the street, making the reflections of two people and a dog extraordinarily slender.

Shi Tian took Chu Dundun by the hand, and walked forward side by side with Chu Yang.

Different from other huskies nicknamed "Let's go", Chu Dundun is very obedient every time he goes out for a walk. Perhaps because of his overly round body shape, he is more keen to keep the same speed as humans and walk slowly.

Until they "meet each other on a narrow road" with a family of three. Opposite is a young couple, leading a Shiba Inu.

Shiba Inu is such a magical dog, he always likes to provoke other dogs, but he can't beat them.

There were several meters between the two teams, and the opposite Shiba Inu started barking, and Chu Dundun jumped forward not to be outdone: "Wow!"

Shi Tian was inattentive, and almost let him break away from the leash. Fortunately, Chu Yang reacted in time and forcibly grabbed the restless Chu Dundun.

The owner of the Shiba Inu on the opposite side also controlled his disobedient fur children and apologized to them.

Things turned around quietly, but——

Shi Tian looked down at his right hand which was held by Chu Yang, his breathing became a little disordered, and he reminded in a low voice, "You can let go now."

Chu Yang threw the blame seriously: "Chu Dundun is not good, it's safer for me to hold you together."

Chu Dundun, who was caught in the pot, turned back unconvinced: "Wow?"

Shi Tian: "...you can't hold it alone?"

Of course, men can't just say no.

Chu Yang took the leash decisively and alone.

On the next journey, perhaps because of the influence of the Shiba Inu's provocation, Chu Dundun tried to escape from the prison several times, but after being suppressed by force, it began to rot, lay down on the ground, and refused to move again.

Shi Tian was stunned by its flamboyant operations. He was busy before and didn't take Chu Dundun out for a walk. This was the first time he saw such a rascal side of him.

Chu Yang seemed to be familiar with its routines, and looked down at the dog biscuits on the ground with a cold expression: "I'll send you to cut your balls again."

The next second, Chu Dundun, who was pretending to be dead, jumped up quickly, and looked alive again: "Wow!"

"Puff." Shi Tian laughed out loud, and suddenly felt that Chu Yang was very suitable to be a strict father, "Do you usually walk it like this?"

"It's so fat for a reason." Chu Yang gave him a meaningful look, "What about you, why are you unhappy today?"

Shi Tian didn't expect him to be so sharp, a flash of surprise flashed in his eyes, he quickly covered it up, and pretended to calmly talk about Rong Yao's car rear-end on the way back, and about meeting Lu Wei, but didn't mention Vincent. That phone call.

"Next time I want to go home, I'll pick you up." Chu Yang stretched out his hand and rubbed his head, his voice was low and there was a hint of a smile.

Shi Tian raised his head and glanced at him. Under the warm yellow street lamps, Chu Yang's amber eyes seemed to be filled with stars, shining brightly. For a moment, he felt his heart beating wildly.

"Okay." When he came back to his senses, he had already agreed.

Shi Tian secretly bit his lip in annoyance.

"It's getting late, let's go back." Chu Yang stretched out his left hand towards him nonchalantly, as if it was just a random movement.

Shi Tian hesitated and did not respond.

Chu Yang didn't seem to notice his hesitation, so he took his wrist very naturally, and the two of them walked back together: "What are you doing in a daze?"

Shi Tian's eyelids drooped slightly, and the cool wind blew towards his face, passing across his face, leaving a trace of slightly scalding heat.
