because i'm pretty

"Huh?" Li Yikai was taken aback.The few times he came into contact with Yuan Zhiming, he was always caught off guard by the other party's sudden honesty.

He looked at the street in front of him without squinting, the traffic lights alternated, someone overtook on the left, and turned right ahead.

In the end, he finally conceded defeat and admitted with a smile: "I just feel that sometimes, it's quite embarrassing to say such things."

"When I was in school, they used to say these things and laugh at me. I got better when I was older, but one time I encountered some problems at work, and I couldn't resolve them by myself. I drove to Linhai overnight that day." He turned his face to the back seat Zhou Xing made a gesture: "The next day they came to see me sleeping in the car all night, and I laughed even harder from then on."

Yuan Zhiming thought for a while and said, "But they are not laughing."

"Well, I know", Li Yikai nodded: "So there is no way to get angry, I can only embarrass myself."

He asked again: "What about you?"

Yuan Zhiming shook his head and said, "I don't know, I haven't experienced it, maybe it's okay."

Li Yikai thought he probably wouldn't either: "You can say it yourself, but I can't."

Yuan Zhiming turned his head to look at him, and suddenly became very serious, as if he had just persuaded Zhou Xing: "Everyone has something different, and people will laugh if they don't understand, but maybe they express it in a joking way." envious."

Li Yikai was stunned: "It's the first time I've heard of this theory."

"My dad said it," Yuan Zhiming turned his face and looked ahead: "He also said that it's normal to be different, but most people are better at pretending."

Li Yikai said with a smile: "Then you are really not very good at pretending."

But after finishing speaking, he suddenly felt that such ridicule was a bit out of bounds, and quickly added: "That's why you can be an artist."

Fortunately, Yuan Zhiming didn't feel offended. Instead, he smiled embarrassedly and said: "In fact, sometimes I do some outrageous things on purpose in order to make myself an artist, but the loss is also great. For example, I can't find normal things. No one would dare hire someone like that for a job."

Li Yikai laughed: "I didn't expect..."

"Ah?" Yuan Zhiming waited for the second half of his sentence.

Li Yikai has forgotten the social distance, and said directly: "It's nothing. When I first interviewed, I told you very directly, because I thought you seemed ignorant, and I couldn't understand you when you said it too euphemistically. But today Only then did I realize that you are actually very sober."

Yuan Zhiming stayed for a while, then lowered his head and laughed.

As the vehicle passed by Crossroads, he looked up with a smile, and suddenly realized that he was almost there.

"Send brother Zhou Xing first, I can help you send him upstairs," Yuan Zhiming said.

"No, I can handle it myself." Li Yikai turned on the turn signal, turned towards the low-rise buildings, and said, "I'm used to it. If there are too many people, he will go crazy and may drag you down." Don't let go."

Yuan Zhiming had a strong association ability, and the scene came to mind, and he smiled to himself for a while and said, "Then you are very different from what I thought."

Li Yikai cleared his throat: "Really?"

"I thought you were very strict during the interview," Yuan Zhiming said, "But later in the art museum, and these few times, I think you are actually very good."

Li Yikai couldn't help boasting, and when he heard this householder blurt out: "You also said Zhou Xingren is good just now", his face became a little hot after he finished speaking, as if he needed affirmation so much.

"You are all very nice, that's why you are friends." Yuan Zhiming also analyzed and explained seriously: "And... well, it's different. Brother Zhou Xing is enthusiastic. You look cold, but it seems that you are the one who takes care of others. It’s like, people in the studio usually play with brother Zhou Xing, but no one dares to make fun of him, but they can all make fun of you, and you don’t get angry.”

Li Yikai was delighted to hear such a long list, but he said, "That's because Zhou Xing is their boss, and my subordinates don't dare to make fun of me."

Yuan Zhiming pondered for a while, and finally concluded: "I can feel the difference. Anyway, I think that you are very different from the surface."

"Well," Li Yikai drove past the speed bump at the door, bumped up and down with the car body, and said, "We are all different from the surface."

It was Li Yikai's first time entering this community, and the small road had seven turns and eight turns, and Yuan Zhiming always gave directions slowly. It took some effort to drive to the parking space downstairs after making a detour.

Although the neighborhood is very old, the greenery here is pretty good. Li Yikai got out of the car with Yuan Zhiming, and the first thing he asked was: "This creeper must attract mosquitoes, right?"

Yuan Zhiming said it was okay, "I don't seem to attract mosquitoes since I was a child."

Li Yikai nodded: "Can you do it? Are you sure you didn't drink too much?"

"It's okay, I can drink."

Yuan Zhiming speaks clearly and has quick legs and feet. It seems that he can drink more than just enough.

So Li Yikai didn't ask any more questions, and stood still, pretending to look at the bushes, and then returned to the car.

Two street lights in the neighborhood were broken, and the entrance of Yuan Zhiming's building was pitch black. Li Yikai turned on the headlights to help him illuminate. Yuan Zhiming, wearing baggy trousers and a sweater jacket, turned his head and waved at him.

I couldn't tell if there was a smile or not, but I could only see some curls emerging from the edge of the hair.

Li Yikai laughed first, no matter whether the other party could see it or not, he waved his hand and told him to go upstairs quickly.

Yuan Zhiming picked up his backpack, turned around and walked forward.

The voice-activated light in the corridor turned on, Li Yikai turned the key, and the engine sounded. He turned his head to reverse the car, and when he turned his head, he looked forward again. Yuan Zhiming walked straight and his figure was very stable.

"Zhou Xing?" Li Yikai stepped on the clutch and called back, but the man was already in a coma and ignored him at all.

He sighed, raised his head to change gears, and suddenly saw the tall figure stop when he reached the door of the building.

Li Yikai only saw him swaying, and then he squatted down facing the bushes.

The huge schoolbag behind him, which he carried all year round, was even half a step behind due to inertia, and then fell to the ground.

……

It's not easy to turn a blind eye, Li Yikai left a window gap for Zhou Xing, got out of the car and ran over.

Some people go crazy after being drunk, such as Zhou Xing; some people sleep peacefully after being drunk, such as Zhao Kaisi;

There are also some people who can't see the clues after drinking too much, and can even take care of other people, but after a while, they will come back to feel uncomfortable - Li Yikai often does this. After everyone is settled, he hugs the toilet and vomits. night.

He was a little worried just now that Yuan Zhiming was in the same situation, and now it seems certain.

The car turned off and the headlights were turned off. At this time, apart from the black leaves in front of him, there was a hunched back squatting there.

"Uncomfortable?" Li Yikai stretched out his hand, hesitated, and patted his back lightly.

Yuan Zhiming raised his head slowly, but the expression on his face could not be seen clearly in the darkness.

"Are you okay?" Li Yikai also squatted down, and stood side by side with him in front of the bushes.

Yuan Zhiming's voice was very low, probably lowered on purpose, and pointed to the front: "Scare me."

"Ah?" Li Yikai didn't understand a little bit, and just about to ask again, he suddenly heard two weak voices - humming and chirping.

Yuan Zhiming rustled his hand through the hem of his coat, and turned on the flashlight of his mobile phone inside. The light wrapped in fiber cloth was very soft, and slowly shone deep in the bushes.

Li Yikai looked along, and saw a cardboard box, inside, piles of fluffy little things were moving.

He straightened his back unconsciously.

"Did you just look at them?" he asked. "I thought you were going to throw up."

Yuan Zhiming laughed angrily, and made a shush gesture to him. The light of the mobile phone was under his clothes, and the light was shining upwards with the movement. Only the chin lip and a frighteningly white finger were visible. between the lips.

Li Yikai turned his face away.

"There are often stray cats here. The big cats are afraid of people. They may hide. If they make too much noise, they dare not come back." Yuan Zhiming was afraid of alarming the timid cats, and approached Li Yikai to explain in a low voice, his breath smelled of alcohol , fluttered in his ear.

Li Yikai straightened his back again: "Then what should we do?"

"what?"

With his little experience with stray cats, he asked, "Do you want to adopt?"

Yuan Zhiming took off his backpack, rummaged through it, and took out a tube of toothpaste. He squeezed it out, and could see the kittens' noses moving, and their little heads involuntarily leaning forward towards the "toothpaste" After a while, one of the yellow ones began to crawl out tentatively.

Li Yikai stood up gently, looked down at the yellow dumpling coming to Yuan Zhiming's side, sniffed it, and approached the food, first stuck out his tongue and licked it, and then ate it uncontrollably, and those behind were also eager to try , take two steps and stop two steps, a little closer.

The kittens didn't know whether their eyes were open or they were confused, and one of them crawled towards Li Yikai, but before they got close, the feet took two steps back.

Yuan Zhiming didn't notice the movement, looked at the kittens without blinking, and said softly, "I can't adopt them."

Li Yikai immediately empathized and said, "You don't have allergies, do you?"

"Huh?" Yuan Zhiming looked back and saw that Li Yikai had covered his nose with his hands: "Are you too? Are you serious?"

"It's okay," Li Yikai said, but his eyes were fixed on those little grunting things vigilantly.

Yuan Zhiming then poked his head inside, and pulled out a small basin. He squeezed the nutrient ointment into the basin, and then pushed it in. A few kittens eagerly followed the scent and moved back to the depths of the bushes. place.

He grabbed the schoolbag and stood up, scratched the back of his right hand, looked at Li Yikai and asked, "Do you need allergy medicine?"

Li Yikai shook his head and wanted to say it was okay, but he sneezed before opening his mouth.

Yuan Zhiming quietly moved the light of the phone upwards, and the halo found Li Yikai's face, and he could see that his eyes were half-closed, a little startled: "Then, come with me, I'll get you allergy medicine .”

Li Yikai's eyes were so itchy that he could hardly keep his eyes open, so he could only follow Yuan Zhiming upstairs.

"I'm sorry, it's all my fault," Yuan Zhiming put the schoolbag on the ground, took out a plastic bag from the cabinet, poured out a bunch of boxes with a clatter, and spread them on the sofa for a while. "Are you allergic to the respiratory tract? Can Claritan be used? Or Chlorpheniramine?"

"It's all right," Li Yikai's voice became hoarse, he took the medicine Yuan Zhiming handed over, and swallowed it without drinking water.

Noticing that the other party was staring at him with concern, he said in a hoarse voice, "It's usually not this serious, maybe I ate spicy food today."

Yuan Zhiming grabbed the hem of his clothes and apologized again: "I'm sorry."

"No, it's not your fault." Li Yikai felt better, and felt that the atmosphere of standing face to face was too stiff, and wanted to relax, but found that there was no place for him to sit in the whole room.

"Oh, you sit down," Yuan Zhiming lowered his head, and swept a pile of medicine boxes directly to the edge of the sofa, leaving a place for one person.

It is also not suitable for not sitting.

Li Yikai used his remaining eyesight to hide the two books in the sofa and sat down. Only then did he see that the back of Yuan Zhiming's hand was red in front of him.

"Are you allergic too?" he asked.

"Oh, um," Yuan Zhiming scratched casually, and said indifferently, "When I touch a furry animal, I get a rash, but it's not serious if I don't touch it. It will be fine in a while."

Li Yikai thought of the way he was so tall, squatting on the ground looking at the kitten, and carrying cat snacks with him, but he could only feed it from a distance, and couldn't help but feel a little regretful for the other party.

"I heard from my colleagues that there is a special rescue station, so I will ask for the contact information later."

"Ah?" Yuan Zhiming found a small bench and sat down, slightly lower than Li Yikai, raised his eyelashes and looked over.

Before he could speak, there was crackling outside the window, and it started to rain again.
