because i'm pretty

Yuan Zhiming knew Qi Jiu.Neither Li Yikai nor Qi Jiu knew about it.

When Li Yikai first saw Yuan Zhiming's school, he thought it was a coincidence, but Qi Jiu had already graduated the year Yuan Zhiming entered, and the two majors were different, so he didn't think it would be such a coincidence.

Yuan Zhiming's Italian roommate is a direct student of Qi Jiu's lineage, and they courteously and enthusiastically. Seeing Yuan Zhiming, who is also Chinese, he immediately opened up his heart-so Yuan Zhiming not only knows Qi Jiu's zodiac blood type and personal preferences, but also has seen him let go. Works in the school's annual exhibition; I know his sexual orientation, and I have heard that Qi Jiu has a boyfriend he never forgets...

He was dragged by his roommate to listen to Qi Chen's back-to-school workshop, and he had seen that senior from a distance who was outstanding no matter where he was placed, and he had comforted an Italian boy who was troubled by love. It's not ashamed...

This person is excellent, at least according to the information he knows, there is nothing bad about him.

Of course I am not bad, but the style is different...

Wait, no, it doesn't matter.

The important thing is this gift - the invoice clearly stated that there were two custom-made copies of the same model, so he obviously bought two identical lamps, but Li Yikai said that the other package was made by him.

For this card, he must have forgotten which one was for Qi Chen and which one was for himself; or he didn't know that the merchant wrote a congratulatory card, so he leaked it.

The more Yuan Zhiming thought about it, the more depressed he became.I just asked him if it was specially given to me, if he said no, it's okay, why did he lie?

What is the relationship between Qi Zhu and him?friend?But the tone of the phone that day was not like that of ordinary friends; lovers?Or being ambiguous?Li Yikai likes people like Qi Jiu, and it makes sense when he thinks about it; or... Could it be that Li Yikai is Qi Jiu's ex-boyfriend?

And what about myself?What is it?Why should I receive an identical gift?

No, Yuan Zhiming became angry belatedly—why did you give me the same gift as others?Even if I am an ordinary colleague, I worked hard to draw a picture for Li Yikai, but I shouldn't receive the same gift that I bought for others!

Moreover, he thought Li Yikai liked him...

No, it's not what he thought, it's all Lucifer's nonsense!

Fortunately, I didn't have time to talk nonsense with Li Yikai, otherwise, wouldn't it be self-indulgent?

At 23 o'clock in the evening, the lights slowly turn into warm colors, the white noise gradually softens, and the aroma of lavender mixed with cedar is slowly released.Because it is connected to Yuan Zhiming's smart watch, the APP of this lamp even prompts "You are more anxious now, and the Peace mode has been adjusted for you."

The more Yuan Zhiming looked at it, the less peaceful he became, so he uninstalled the APP, unplugged the power, and put the light into the box.

Li Yikai leaned against the bed, tried to send a friend sharing application, searched for Yuan Zhiming's device number, but saw that the other party was offline.

Looking at this complicated lamp, Yuan Zhiming scratched his head and couldn't figure out the computer software in his mind.

By becoming online friends, you can share each other's sleep time, heartbeat and breathing rate on the APP, and you can also fall asleep together in the same music, lights, and smells... Li Yikai can't help but reflect on whether this romance is too vague and not suitable for A free-thinking artist?

But it's not that difficult to operate... Li Yikai adjusted the brightness of the night light, lying on the bed thinking, now is not the time, and when Yuan Zhiming comes back in a better mood, it will not be too late to teach him.

In the next few days, Li Yikai sent some messages to Yuan Zhiming from time to time, not always talking about serious matters, but also some exhibition information, small things in life, beautiful pictures, etc. The other party always seemed to be lacking in interest.

I think I was exhausted in the hospital.But Li Yikai still maintained his own rhythm, and continued to send regardless of whether he replied or not, letting him know that someone in the distance was caring.

Hu Manting asked him if he wanted to go home for dinner, and Li Yikai replied that if he wanted to see Li Qi, he would not go, and she never mentioned it again.

On Tuesday, Yuan Zhiming sent a message to report that he was safe and the operation went well.Li Yikai looked very relaxed that day.

Zhao Kaisi sent a video showing tens of thousands of zebras running on the grassland. He was so black that he seemed to have buried his face in a coal mine, but he smiled so much that his white teeth were exposed.

Many decisions and changes happened quietly in the ordinary days.

Li Yikai met Mr. Huang again and formally rejected the job invitation. Although the other party was regretful, he was not surprised.Mr. Huang even said: "Actually, the two times I met you, I always had an intuition that you might choose to refuse. But intellectually, I don't think there is a reason."

"Whatever, no matter where you choose to develop in the future, keep in touch with me, okay?"

Li Yikai got up: "Of course, it is my luck to be appreciated by you."

When Zhou Xing learned about it, he made a fuss and asked him what he was thinking.

Qi Jiu sat next to him, Li Yikai didn't shy away, saying it was because he had a chat with Yuan Zhiming.

"What?" Zhou Xing looked around, "Because of Yuan Zhiming, you decided to reject DS's multi-million annual salary?"

"It's not for him," Li Yikai corrected, "I just figured out what I want most after chatting with him. DS conditions are very good, but for me, it's a bit like another cage."

He touched Zhou Xing's wine glass: "Don't worry, I don't want to spend forever in Camus, I just think it's time to take it easy, and I don't want to panic."

"What do I worry about?" Zhou Xing muttered a few words, then pointed at Li Yikai and Qi Chen: "Forget it, it's your turn to be worried about me?"

Qi Jiu, who had been silent all this time, pushed his glasses and smiled, "But it sounds like this Yuan Zhiming is more sober than us."

"Well," Li Yikai lowered his head and didn't know what he was laughing at, "Sometimes he's very sober, and sometimes he's really stupid."

That day was New Year's Eve, and they were staying warm in Qi Jiu's new home.

When the clock struck midnight, two of the three people were holding mobile phones. Zhou Xing didn't know what to send, and suddenly cursed, saying that his ex-girlfriend had blocked him.

Li Yikai sent two messages to Yuan Zhiming: "Happy New Year" and "Happy Birthday".

The floor-to-ceiling windows face the river view, the New Year's Eve fireworks show is lit on the opposite side, and the living room is also dyed with colorful colors.

Amidst the rumbling and low-pitched fireworks, Qi Chen looked at Li Yikai, his voice was masked so that only two people could hear him, and he asked, "If I said some things back then, would the result be different?"

Li Yikai raised his head, calmly and frankly: "It's all over, don't think about it."

Qi Chen looked away, looked out the window, and said lightly: "I have no regrets, because even now, I can't think of a better way. But I was wrong, and I take it for granted that you should understand."

"I understand, I also think you should choose to go abroad and go to the best school and company. As a friend, I will always bless you." Li Yikai said word by word, each word seemed to take a gram of weight off his chest , Clean up the remaining regrets in the memory.

"But I can't accept it..." He looked at Qi Chen, "It's like I give up DS, maybe it's wrong in your opinion, but I just don't want to go."

Qi Chen looked at him and smiled: "I thought you had changed, but it turned out that I didn't understand you at all."

The phone turned on, and Li Yikai looked at it and said, "Maybe I also met some people before I knew what I was like."

"Happy New Year, let's move on," he told Qi Jiu.

In the single room of the hospital, the lively video of the New Year's Eve party was playing on the TV. Yuan Zhiming was nestled on the escort bed, poking in front of the mobile phone screen, not looking up to watch the TV at all.

Yuan Songqing coughed, her eyes were about to fly to her son's mobile phone, and when Yuan Zhiming found out, she pretended to retract it.

"You're acting too fake, Dad." Yuan Zhiming knew this trick too well. In fact, Yuan Songqing didn't watch it at all, just waiting for him to take the initiative to confess.

"You said you haven't been in a relationship since you were in college, went abroad, and came back?" Yuan Songqing's voice was flimsy, but she was in a good mood, "I didn't even have a chance to peek."

"No," Yuan Zhiming said.

"No, if not, you would just hand over your phone and slap me in the face." Yuan Songqing looked at him and smiled: "Look at you, you feel guilty."

Yuan Zhiming turned off the TV with a snap, turned over and lay on the bed, intending to refuse to communicate.

Yuan Songqing smiled, laying on her back with her eyes open, and muttered: "I just don't understand. You have been given flowers by little girls since kindergarten, and you received love letters every day in junior high and high school. You never kept it from me when you were adolescence. What's wrong now? Won't you tell me about the situation?"

He hadn't thought about it in this direction before, but he didn't know if it was because of an illness or some kind of stimulation, so he suddenly asked: "Xiao Ming, I guessed wildly, don't be angry if I guess wrong."

Yuan Zhiming was used to his guessing, so he let out a muffled "huh".

Yuan Songqing said: "Do you like boys and dare not tell me?"

Yuan Songqing has been teasing Yuan Zhiming since he was a child. Sometimes he is serious, and sometimes he is just making up.

According to the normal reaction, Yuan Zhiming knew that he should get up immediately, get mad at Yuan Songqing, and then this matter would become a little joke.

But he didn't, not now, he missed a few seconds, and what he did would be even more obvious.

After a while, he heard Yuan Songqing's relieved tone behind him: "I thought you had some psychological barrier, so it was because of this."

"What's the big deal?" Yuan Songqing said with a smile.

Yuan Zhiming still didn't look back, he thought, there are many big problems.

If Zhou Xing knew that Li Yikai gave him the same gift as Qi Chen, not only would he not be angry, but he would also be moved to feel that Li Yikai is a good brother with a bowl of water!
