Even so, I still like you

Zhang Yuhang's expression changed slightly for a few seconds, and soon returned to normal, without any embarrassment of being exposed.

"Did you check my phone?" He walked to the bed and leaned over Shen Tongguang, "How much did you see?"

Shen Tongguang met his sharp eyes, swallowed his throat immediately, put his arms on his chest, his momentum was suppressed until there was only a small flame burning: "I didn't look at it on purpose..."

"It's okay, why don't you watch more." Zhang Yuhang took the phone from his hand and swiped on the screen a few times, "At the beginning, I was afraid that you would commit suicide, so I bought this account to help you build a fan base. Videos, publicity, and contacting publishing houses are all things outside of work, and they often stay up until two or three o'clock. How about it? Now that I have seen it, I have to settle the public relations fee, publicity fee, and overtime pay for this year. ?"

Shen Tongguang turned his head in a daze, and said with difficulty: "I, I don't know, how much do you want..."

"You can't afford it." Zhang Yuhang sneered, suddenly threw away the phone, and firmly held his wrist, "When you replied to my private message for the first time, you probably thought I was a very fanatical fan, but in fact, I thought What I want is 'Great, you are not dead'. I cooperate with you to chat and coax you, and slowly you will say a lot of things to me. On the day when the manga was re-published and sold, I thought I should get out of my body. Unexpectedly, you called me when you were drunk at the celebration banquet. You said you missed me very much, and repeatedly said that you wanted to come to me, but you can’t do it now, you can’t do it now. Remember? I didn’t say a word, Hearing you cry until you fell asleep, I decided to wait for you that night. I have always felt that people cannot be broken by love, but this is probably the most unreasonable thing in the world."

"Shen Tongguang," Zhang Yuhang's eyebrows and eyes were as silent as a shallow lake, "Did you make me wait too long?"

After the two met, it seemed to be the first time that he spoke so calmly.

The water droplets from Zhang Yuhang's hair hit Shen Tongguang's face, one by two, and for some reason, the water marks on that face became more and more flowing.

Shen Tongguang's eyes were already red.

"I'm the whole me now," he said.

"For a long time... I have always felt like a jigsaw puzzle that is falling as I walk. I can't let you keep following me to pick it up and put it back together. I put it together and then pick it up... Now I seldom think of the teacher, and I don't think of it anymore. It will be so painful." Shen Tongguang pursed his lips and said solemnly, "I have the consciousness to go on with you."

Zhang Yuhang looked at him carefully for a while, then suddenly relaxed his arms, and just pressed him with his whole body weight, his chin resting on his neck, and let out a long breath, as if he had held back his strength for more than a year Children are scattered out.

The two hugged silently for a while, Shen Tongguang clasped his arms on his back, rubbed his face affectionately against Zhang Yuhang's hair, and said, "I'm going to be a junior in September."

Zhang Yuhang laughed: "And then?"

"Should I continue to live?" Shen Tongguang pinched his earlobe with a smile, "You said you want to experience college life, right?"

"Try running one more time," Zhang Yuhang pinched his face, "I'll break your leg."

Shen Tongguang groaned: "You are too bastard and inhuman now!"

"There are even more bastards and even more inhuman ones," Zhang Yuhang said calmly, "There will be a comic book fan signing event tomorrow, and I have already asked Gao Yun to promise to dress decently, and don't wear a sweater and jeans."

Shen Tongguang struggled, writhing like a fish, "I won't go!"

"There's no need to discuss it. If you don't go, I'll tie you up."

Shen Tongguang tried to resist. He couldn't beat Zhang Yuhang a year ago, and now he was subdued in two seconds, panting and cursing on the bed: "You have grown so many muscles from eating manure!"

Waking up the next morning, Shen Tongguang was just about to stretch when he heard a rattling sound on his wrist. He glanced at it half-asleeply, was covered in cold sweat, and screamed in fright: "Zhang Yuhang!"

After shouting twice, the other party came in wearing a tie, a shirt and trousers, and looked like a young talent: "What are you calling?"

"You—you," Shen Tongguang couldn't straighten his tongue, shaking the pair of shiny silver handcuffs vigorously, "Why did you handcuff me!"

"In case you run away before the signing meeting." Zhang Yuhang shrugged, and said bluntly, "Maybe it's because you tricked me into getting PTSD before. After all, the sheep-herding child is to blame, don't you think so?"

He even smiled a little at the end.

Shen Tongguang twitched, his eyes and mouth became wavy, and he yelled like an ambulance: "My husband, I don't want to—"

Zhang Yuhang turned around and left.

Shen Tongguang used both hands while brushing his teeth, dropped a table while eating breakfast, and even tried to secretly break the chain on the fire pole when he was going out, but was glared at by the Doberman pinscher raised in the yard on the first floor.

When Zhang Yuhang drove the car over, Shen Tongguang was already sweating profusely from sawing, his hands were not good enough, and he struggled to climb into the car.

Zhang Yuhang glanced at him: "Do you exercise?"

Shen Tongguang guiltily raised his hands to wipe his sweat back and forth: "Haha, haha."

It was a day of more than 30 degrees, and the signing event was still overcrowded. Yuhang had been putting on his make-up backstage before he uncuffed Shen Tongguang. tight.

Many Sheniu authors had already sat down at the front desk, but Shen Tongguang was still pale and nauseous.Zhang Yuhang gave him soda, but he refused to drink it and kept on biting his nails.

Time was getting tighter, Zhang Yuhang put down the water bottle, grabbed his shoulders a bit forcefully and turned the person towards him: "Shen Tongguang, listen well, they are all people who like your works, and they love your works more than those strangers walking on the street. Support you, understand you. It is these people who left you a long comment, interpreted your story, and even gave you a reward during the serialization period-why should you be afraid of them? Why should people be afraid of people who like themselves, but put useless Seriously malicious?"

Shen Tongguang looked at him, his slack expression recovered a bit, as if he had regained his courage.

Zhang Yuhang finally bowed his head and kissed him on the lips: "Go, I will wait for you."

The signing was relatively smooth, except that Shen Tongguang was really powerless against some fanatical fans—the second-year father who held a child and wanted to recognize him as godfather, and the bold girl who asked him to sign his miniskirt brought fifty single volumes with him. Collectors who come to get his autograph...

In the afternoon, it was a plainly dressed woman's turn. She stepped forward and put the most common paperback comics on the table.

Shen Tong turned the pages of the book without raising his head: "May I ask you what name to sign?"

"..." The woman seemed to be stunned, and said in a voice with a little dialect, "Du Yanlan."

The blood in Shen Tongguang's body stopped flowing, he slowly raised his head, and the pen in his hand fell to the table with a snap.

He shouted: "Mom..."

The rural women who had been queuing for a whole day showed a smile on their faces, which was the expression they would only show when they saw their children living well.

The staff came over, obviously not expecting this situation, so they led Du Yanlan to the backstage first, and they sat down to talk until the signing was over at [-] o'clock.

Zhang Yuhang and the staff asked for a meal, and poured water for Du Yanlan first: "Auntie, drink some water first."

Du Ruolan had secretly watched the extraordinary Zhang Yuhang several times, and asked her son in a low voice, "Is this your boss?"

Shen Tongguang licked his lips and glanced at Zhang Yuhang: "No...not."

Zhang Yuhang could see all the subtleties of his expression, and smiled as if there was nothing there, without changing his expression: "We are friends."

Du Yanlan smiled wryly: "Thank you for taking care of our little light."

"No," Zhang Yuhang also smiled, and got up to get his meal, "it should."

His chest was tight.He saw Du Yanlan's eyes, and he wanted to say yes, I am your son's friend, the kind of friend who sleeps together, kisses together, and lives together in the future.He knew he couldn't say it, and probably never would.

"You wait."

The moment he stood up, Shen Tongguang suddenly held his hand.

"No, Mom, we are not friends." Shen Tongguang plucked up all the courage to hold Zhang Yuhang's hand tightly, looked into Du Yanlan's eyes and said, "His name is Zhang Yuhang, and he is my boyfriend."

Du Yanlan was stunned for a moment, her eyes flicked back and forth on them, obviously not knowing how to respond.

"Even if Dad takes me back and puts me in the pickle jar this time, I won't run away or admit defeat. I've grown up, and this is my choice."

Shen Tongguang will never forget the big pot of pickled vegetables in his hometown. His father pressed a stone on it. run away.

Running for so many years.But this time he won't run away.

"Actually, your father is looking forward to your return. He always tells others that you are making a lot of money in the city, you are promising, and you are filial..." Du Yanlan couldn't help but wiped her eyes, "You don't have to worry about it in the future, as long as you feel good, We don’t have much education, our level is low, we don’t understand these things, we always think you are sick, don’t blame your parents.”

Shen Tongguang bit his lips: "I never blamed you."

Zhang Yuhang saw the two little whirls above his head, and silently, he slowly held Shen Tongguang's cool fingers backwards.He didn't say to Du Yanlan with lofty aspirations, 'Give me your son', or 'I will always be good to him', he just said plainly and firmly: "I will always be with him."

Today, yesterday, and every tomorrow.
