absolutely attracted

When Xia Bai woke up slightly, Gu Jinxing had already gone to the company. He dragged his sore body to wash up. Seeing the mottled marks on his neck in the mirror, he couldn't help cursing inwardly. Gu Jinxing was a dog. Well, he bites people at every turn, and he always doesn't know the severity.

After washing, Xia Baiwei came to the studio downstairs, which was filled with the paintings that Bai Junhua brought back from the auction before he was alive.When he was young, Bai Junhua was a well-known painter. After getting married, he took care of his husband and raised his children at home, so his works decreased a lot.

When Xia Bai was young, he always sat in Bai Junhua's studio and watched her paint, and listened to Bai Junhua tell the stories behind each painting. When he was a child, he only found it interesting. When he grew up, he understood that art is never a cold thing that can only be seen from a distance. , each work has a unique life, and the creator nurtures them with painstaking efforts and emotions, and then conveys what he wants to express to the world.

Xia Baiwei gently touched a painting called "Tianci", which was painted when Bai Junhua was pregnant with Xia Baiwei.Whenever talking about this painting, Bai Junhua always has a very gentle smile on his face, "At that time, I felt you growing up in my stomach day by day, and I felt that I was the happiest person in the world."

Then he would touch his head or pinch his face, "Xiaowei, do you know that you are a gift from God, the greatest work of art in my life."

The morning sun shone on the top of Xia Baiwei's hair, which was as warm as if being caressed by his mother's hand. Xia Baiwei's thoughts were stretched infinitely, and finally turned into a soft sigh.

After Bai Junhua passed away, he gradually became estranged from his father Xia Zhiyu, and finally broke with Xia Zhiyu under the urging of his stepmother Xu Yueying. In fact, Xia Baiwei no longer has any relatives in City B.

After graduation, he was recommended by his professional teacher to sign a contract with a well-known gallery in London. He has no plans to return to China for development in the short term. He did not expect to see the news that Xia Zhiyu was going to auction Bai Junhua’s paintings on the Internet. Some thoughts were about to disappear, Xia Bai returned to the country in a hurry on impulse, and then found that he had nothing.

The money in the card that Bai Junhua left for him was not enough to pay tuition and daily expenses for the four years of college. He wanted to ask Song Qingyang to borrow it, but he felt that it was too much money for him to ask. In this embarrassing dilemma, Gu Jin The timing of Xing's appearance was just right, so he had no way or reason to refuse.

No matter how evil Gu Jinxing sent him the contract, he didn't want to think about it and explore it. He just wanted to protect what his mother left behind, and live a simple and happy life according to Bai Junhua's last wish. my own life.

After staying in the studio for a while, the phone rang, and Xia Baiwei picked it up, "Hello, Bai Wei, why aren't you in the apartment?"

Song Qingyang went home yesterday, the more he thought about it, the more he felt that something was wrong. He had never heard Xia Baiwei mention that he had a friend like Gu Jinxing in China, so he got up in the morning and ran to Xia Baiwei's apartment to confirm his safety, but knocked on the phone. There was no answer to the door.

"Is nothing wrong?"

"Well, it's okay, I... I'm at Gu Jin's house." Xia Bai put down his painting tools slightly, and was about to go outside to pour a glass of water.

Even with Song Qingyang's dull brain, he caught a trace of unusual aura, "What's the relationship between him and you? Why haven't you mentioned it before?"

Xia Bai's mouth was slightly dry. After drinking his saliva, he carefully chose an answer that didn't scare Song Qingyang so much, "He is my ex-boyfriend."

Song Qingyang on the other end of the phone fell silent, and Xia Baiwei also remained silent in a very understanding manner. After all, he suddenly knew that his good friend was gay, and he also had an expired love melon. Anyone might not be able to accept it for a while.

"I should have thought of it a long time ago!" Song Qingyang's sudden and inexplicable excitement startled Xia Bai slightly, "I finally know where my weird feeling yesterday came from, so it is like this!"

Song Qingyang patted his head suddenly, he felt something was wrong last night, he thought he had drunk too much, recalling Gu Jinxing's inexplicable hostility towards him yesterday, and the inexplicable look in Xia Baiwei's eyes, Song Qingyang felt suddenly Everything makes sense.

Song Qingyang seemed to always focus on some key things, so Xia Baiwei could only ask, "Is there anything else you're curious about? For example, about me being gay."

"What's so curious about this is that you see it more in the UK." Existence and reasonableness, the rainbow is also a beautiful product of nature.It would be a lie to say that I was not surprised. Although I have seen many homosexuals, I was still a little caught off guard when I suddenly found out that my friend was gay.

But his firm revolutionary friendship with Xia Baiwei was established during the years of mutual support and care in a foreign country. He and Xia Baiwei became friends because he was reliable and trustworthy, and had nothing to do with sexuality.

"Don't worry that I won't be able to accept it. This is a normal thing. I respect you." So after a brief surprise, Song Qingyang accepted the news calmly, and then felt a little relieved. After all, he had always thought that Xia Baiwei had a cold personality.

Hearing Song Qingyang's words, Xia Baiwei's heart warmed slightly. He had never told Song Qingyang about his sexuality before because he was afraid that something like high school would happen again.

Not everyone will understand and accept it. After encountering an unfortunate incident, they will be overly vigilant to avoid another unfortunate incident.

Fortunately, bad luck only happens once.

"But, are you getting back together with your ex-boyfriend?"

"Well, that's right, we're...together anyway." Xia Baiwei didn't know what to say to Song Qingyang for a while.

"What's going on? When? Why don't I know?"

Facing Song Qingyang's repeated questions, Xia Baiwei didn't know how to respond, "Next time we meet, I'll talk about it in detail. You haven't asked me before..."

Although a month has passed, Xia Baiwei hasn't sorted out this matter himself.

Song Qingyang didn't ask any more questions, "Hey, Bai Wei, I suddenly remembered something important. New Moon Publishing House is looking for an illustrator. I recommended you to their editor-in-chief. He is very satisfied with you. Do you want to give it a try? "

New Moon Publishing House is an established publishing house in City B. It has also made many reforms in the wave of the Internet, and it is still an industry giant.

Xia Baiwei's previous contract with the gallery had to be revoked because of his sudden return to China. He had been unemployed for a month, and he really wanted to find something to do. "Okay, when?"

It was finally decided to go to the publishing house to report next Monday. Xia Baiwei's mood was much brighter. He likes painting, so no matter what kind of work related to painting, it is a lucky thing for him.

Xia Baiwei walked back to the studio with a water glass in his hand. After painting for a while, he began to be dazed again. Maybe it was because the word ex-boyfriend had a little magical power of reminiscence, maybe it was because the words "together" held more weight in his heart than he imagined. It must be heavy.

He couldn't help but think of the scene when Gu Jinxing talked to him for the first time eight years ago.

……

When he opened his eyes, he saw the strange gray-white ceiling and the slightly pungent smell of disinfectant lingering in his nose, which made Xia Bai sit up slightly in shock.

Looking around vigilantly, and tugging at his ugly striped hospital gown, Xia Bai slowly calmed down slightly.

"Hey, you confessed to me yesterday, crying and saying that you like me." Gu Jinxing sat on the chair next to Xia Baiwei's bed with his arms around him, looking at Xia Baiwei quietly.

When I just woke up, I was so flustered that I didn't notice that there was a person sitting on the bedside, and what I saw was a clean and handsome face.

No time to appreciate the handsome guy, the inexplicable words of the person in front of him exploded in Xia Baiwei's chaotic head, he stared blankly at Gu Jinxing, "What? A confession..."

"That's right." Gu Jinxing nodded while reaching out his hand to check Xia Baiwei's body temperature. Yesterday, Xia Baiwei was drenched in the rain for too long and almost fainted on the street.

The distance is too close, and you can even smell the mint aroma on the other person's body.Xia Bai slightly stiffly pushed away Gu Jinxing's hand on his forehead, "Impossible!"

As soon as he raised his head and met Gu Jinxing's eyes that seemed to be accusing, Xia Baiwei's momentum suddenly weakened, "...it should be."

I lowered my head and desperately recalled last night, but I could only remember that I had a big fight with Xia Zhiyu yesterday, and then ran out of the house in a fit of anger, walked for an unknown amount of time on the street in the heavy rain, and then ran into my classmate Gu Jinxing who was kind enough to hold an umbrella .

He clearly told him not to worry about himself, but he still stubbornly followed behind him.Xia Baiwei hated being sympathized or cared for, and also hated being seen in a mess by others, so he had no choice but to walk faster and faster, trying to get rid of this kind-hearted guy behind him.

I didn't expect my physique to be so weak. Because I was exposed to a little rain and a little cold wind, I passed out. The last thing I clearly remembered in my head was the umbrella that fell on the ground and the feeling of holding a hand on my waist.

But he didn't remember the confession at all, so there must be some misunderstanding.Moreover, he had very little interaction with Gu Jinxing in the past, and he has not spoken more than ten sentences since the beginning of school, so how could he confess his love inexplicably, besides, he is not the kind of person who just sees sex.

At the moment of daze, Gu Jinxing's face suddenly enlarged, and Xia Baiwei couldn't help wondering if he was really interested in sex.

Putting his hands on both sides of Xia Baiwei's body, Gu Jinxing approached Xia Baiwei little by little, stopped at a somewhat ambiguous distance, then turned his head to show the teeth marks on the side of his neck, and continued with an inexplicable aggrieved tone. Said, "Look, you molested me yesterday."

Looking at the clearly visible teeth marks on Gu Jinxing's neck, Xia Baiwei felt further self-doubt. Maybe he was really soaked in the rain for too long, and made a series of outrageous things like coming out to confess his love for indecent assault. move?

Subconsciously shaking his head that might get into the water, Xia Baiwei muttered to himself, "No way..."

"You don't want to be responsible, do you?" Gu Jinxing stared at Xia Baiwei, but his expression was like a sad big dog abandoned by its owner.

With such a pitiful expression, for a moment Xia Bai felt like he was being bitten by a hunting dog.

The explanation stuck in his throat, and it felt like he was trying to quibble for "not wanting to be responsible", so Xia Baiwei finally had to whisper dryly, "Thank you for sending me to the hospital, and... I'm sorry."

"It's okay, we'll be together from today on." Gu Jinxing sat back on the chair, quietly looking at Xia Baiwei with black and white eyes, making Xia Baiwei inexplicably helpless with nowhere to hide feel.

The hound finally showed its fangs gently, with a greedy light hidden in its eyes.

The light and shadow seem to favor him, from Xia Baiwei's perspective, Gu Jinxing looks like a perfect painting.

After an unknown amount of time, he heard a soft "hmm" from himself.

Maybe it's because a sick person is particularly vulnerable to being dominated by others due to their physical and psychological fragility, maybe it's because after Bai Junhua left, he was so lacking in love and lonely, maybe it's because he has been carefully hiding his secrets and drifting away from the crowd, and finally met Accepting one's own kind, maybe because...

Xia Baiwei found countless reasons and excuses for himself, but in the end he could only blame that the light and shadow that day were too good, the colors outside were too bright, and Gu Jinxing's eyes were so deceptive.

In short, he nodded himself into the trap.

From that day on, Gu Jinxing brought him breakfast every day, and accompanied him to paint in the studio after school. Sometimes they would run out during the quiet lunch break, hold hands in the grove, and secretly kiss on the rooftop.

Mingde High School does not allow puppy love, let alone such a shocking love affair between two boys.So they were cautious during that time, this love was secretive and taboo, but it did not prevent it from being warm and splendid.

At least Xia Baiwei felt so until he got the hasty ending.

"Gu Jinxing, don't bring me breakfast from now on. I ate it at home in the morning." It was a week after they started dating. With all due respect.

Gu Jinxing didn't seem to hear it, until the sound of flipping the book was heard, and his voice came, "No, other people will bring breakfast when they are in love."

Xia Bai raised his head slightly, his eyes no longer blocked by the drawing board intertwined with Gu Jinxing's.The setting sun fell on the young man's thin but broad shoulders, and the wind lifted the corners of his school uniform, outlining his tall and lean figure due to frequent exercise.

Looking at Gu Jinxing's disheveled hair and the childish stubbornness in his eyes, Xia Bai laughed out loud, "You are so childish." Gu Jinxing raised his eyebrows slightly, with an expression of disbelief as if responding to " How naive am I?"

Then he was pulled down by the window by the childish Gu Jinxing, the white curtains were raised and lowered, reminiscent of the bride's veil, that was their first kiss, toes lowered, lips to lips, The innocent can no longer be innocent.

Xia Bai grabbed Gu Jinxing's ribs with slightly painted hands, leaving messy and colorful marks on his school uniform.

"You're so blushing." After the kiss, Gu Jinxing refused to let go of the hand around Xia Baiwei's waist, and said while rubbing the tip of Xia Baiwei's nose.

"I wear too many clothes, it's a bit hot." It's already autumn, and Xia Baiwei is only wearing a short-sleeved and school uniform jacket.

Xia Bai felt that his answer was a little silly, when he heard Gu Jinxing chuckle, "Well, me too."

He couldn't help raising his head, Gu Jinxing also lowered his eyes, so he was immersed in the pupils of the other party, and was silent for a while.

At that time, the wind was gentle and the clouds were lingering. The afterglow reflected the young man's distracted eyes, and the young man's eyes were full of splendor.
