Boss, did you speak well today?

big boss

Nangong Ran's dark eyes swept over his disheveled and disheveled hair. Su Xici's nightgown was too loose for him, and the collar had obviously been tidied up and folded without an extra wrinkle. He wanted it to be docile, but It still slid to one side, exposing the slender and fragile collarbone on the right.

The slender legs are exposed in the night, and there are bare feet.

"Go and put on your shoes first."

"No, just tell me if you have something to say." He said stiffly.

Let's solve it as soon as possible, as long as Nangong Ran makes a move, I can kill him immediately.

It was clean and tidy, which made him suffer less, and I was grateful to him for taking care of himself during this period of time.

His heart was stuffy, he forced himself to suppress his chaotic thoughts, his whole person looked indifferent and stiff.

This is the real him.

"Susu, I want to talk to you." Nangong Ran thought for a while, but didn't know how to speak.

Su Xici took a step back vigilantly, refusing to talk to him.

Nangong Ran saw what he meant, and his eyelids drooped.

After a pause, he looked at him again, and said slowly, "Susu, do you know why I'm afraid of crabs?"

"do not know."

Nangong Ran looked at his face, hesitated again and again, and told him what he had never said in his heart.

"Because of my parents."

There was no fluctuation in Su Xici's eyes.

He already knew.

Nangong Ran seemed to be trapped in some kind of memory, and his voice became distant and long.

"You also know that my parents died in a car accident on my seventh birthday."

"I remember very clearly that it was Uncle Bo who gave me the news. He came in in a hurry and asked where my grandpa was. I was busy shelling crabs, shook my head, and said just tell me. Yes——At that time, I had already started to handle things like my father, and I thought I could handle things well. But this matter is a matter of life and death. When I heard it, I was completely dumbfounded, you know? That bloated feeling of being hollowed out."

Su Xici raised his head from the shadows, pursed his bright red lips, but finally did not speak.

The fingers moved and relaxed.

"Maybe you also felt this way, but you were older at that time, and you would not understand a child as young as seven years old. Before that, your understanding of "the death of a loved one" was vague.When I heard the news at the time, I only knew that the crab in front of me was glowing black and red, holding huge claws, baring its teeth and waving its claws, mocking wantonly, threatening me, and bringing me this kind of doom. "

"So, at the age of seven, I have a weird and simple cognition since then. Crabs are tantamount to death. Whether it is the hard and strange shell, the huge pincers, or the narrow eyes, they are all monster-like existences. Touching it, eating it in your mouth, will bring you death."

Nangong Ran confided his thoughts, and immediately felt a lot more relaxed.

On the opposite side, Su Xici lowered his eyes, and his thoughts drifted to nowhere.

For a while, there was only the fragrance of roses brought by gusts of evening wind, accompanied by the biting coldness after the rain.

"Susu, have you ever had something bad like this happen?"

Su Xici came back to his senses with a jolt, touched the bridge of his nose, only to realize that he was not wearing glasses, so he could only hold his arms.

"No..." He lowered his eyes and pursed his lips.

"Really?"

"Ah."

His life is simple and happy, and there is nothing bad about it.

"Okay." Nangong Ran saw that he was unwilling to speak, and did not force him to ask, and said, "But there must be something I can help you with."

"No." He refused bluntly.

He was sure to kill Nangong Ran, how could he need the help of such a weak man.

"Don't deny it so quickly." Nangong Ran stretched out his hand, "Give me your hand."

Su Xici looked at him in surprise.

He repeated it again, adding a bit of force.

Su Xici stretched out his hand, hesitating.

"Susu, do you think I will hurt you?" He slowed down his voice and asked.

Su Xici knew what he meant.

The person in front of him was tall, strong, domineering, unreasonable, and always exuded a chilling aura on weekdays.

But when facing him, he is always gentle and patient, with a sense of trustworthy dependence, dispelling the hesitation and timidity in his heart.

He slowly stretched out his hand, trembling as he tried to get closer.

Nangong Ran stretched out his hand a little closer to him.

Su Xici suddenly withdrew his hand, "I didn't wear gloves, I, I'll just go and get some gloves..."

He fled in a hurry, not ready to face such a frightening situation.

"Susu!"

He stopped in his tracks, his voice trembling, "Don't force me..."

"Don't cry, I won't force you." Nangong Ran approached him slowly, the thin shoulders in front of him couldn't bear any heavy pressure, and his whole body was like building blocks with dozens of layers of one-legged blocks, as if he would be crushed with just a light touch completely.

Su Xici slightly tilted his head and looked back, his wet eyelashes trembling slightly, "I didn't cry."

"I didn't cry, Susu is so good, how could she cry." Nangong Ran said with a smile.

"Are you coaxing children?" He wrinkled his nose and said dissatisfiedly.

"How dare you treat you like a child, and you will beat me on the head again later."

The little finger of the left hand was gently hooked by a warm index finger.

Su Xici's hands trembled, and he wanted to withdraw immediately.Nangong Ran's hand was as stubborn as he was, the index finger couldn't get rid of it no matter what, and in the end even the whole palm of his hand covered his palm, grasping it lightly and entangled his fingers.The whole person moved forward by the way, getting closer, as if being pulled over by him.

"You let me go..."

He raised his head in panic, Nangong Ran looked at him, the light in his eyes dimmed, telling the unspoken joy and tenderness.

"Are you afraid?"

"I..." Except for the initial surprise, bewilderment, fear, and incompatibility with this kind of touch, in fact, it doesn't seem to be disgusted to the point of complete resistance.

Is it because this person always made accidents and bumped into him from time to time before?He is always used to thinking clearly about the cause and effect.

"Or do you think I will hurt you?" Nangong Ran asked again.

Su Xici took a few quick breaths, calmed down, bit his lower lip, and shook his head.

Stiff and numb fingers regained consciousness, and slowly returned to hold his hand.

Completely different skin, different touch, different grip strength, different warmth.

A completely different thrill.

From the closely touching palms and the intertwined fingertips, a trace of electric current is initiated, along the nerve endings all the way up, the warm and strange feeling makes people dizzy.

The palms became hotter and hotter, and the sticky and fine sweat was stuffy.The tip of the ear was gradually stained with a blush.

Su Xici shrank his hand back awkwardly, and hid it in the sleeve of his nightgown.

"It's okay, take your time." Nangong Ran withdrew his hand and said softly, "You may have forgotten what it's like to be in contact with others. I'll help you find it bit by bit."

Like the crab story, he thought the secret would never come out.

In fact, only one object is missing.

When you meet that person, anything is possible.

"I said in the morning that we will play billiards together tomorrow, remember to spare time."

Su Xici opened his mouth and subconsciously refused, "But, but, I have a lot of things to do tomorrow."

"It's not that there is Auntie Mei." The goal was achieved, Nangong Ran grinned, and walked out of the room with a grimace, "The boss is the biggest, don't say you don't have time, be careful, I will deduct your salary."

"You didn't pay my salary." This man couldn't remember every day, and threatened him with such meaningless things.

"If you learn it tomorrow, I will give you a raise."

Su Xi resigned with clear eyebrows and bright eyes, and said in one breath, "Okay."

Lying back on the bed again, it was past two o'clock in the morning.

Su Xici still couldn't sleep.

Only this time, the mood is different.

The right hand in the quilt is holding the palm of the left hand, imitating the posture of being caught before, and lightly clasping them together.

The corners of Su Xici's mouth curled slightly, and he buried his face in the pillow.

-

The next day was the weekend, Nangong Ran was really wearing casual clothes, waiting for him in the billiard hall.

It's amazing, when he wears a suit and tie, he looks majestic, cool and attractive, and the whole world can be trampled under his feet.

Putting on a T-shirt and shorts, he looked like a teenager who had just finished playing ball on the playground, with a smile that was brighter than a sunny day.

Su Xici almost forgot, this person is two years younger than his body.

Nangong Ran leaned against the billiard table and threw a cue to him who hesitated at the door, "Look at me? I know I'm handsome, but don't show it so obviously, it will make me misunderstand."

If this person is not narcissistic, maybe the charm value will go up a little bit.

Su Xici took the club neatly with one hand, twirled it around twice in his hand, and walked in.

Nangong Ran became interested in his hand, "How did you turn it just now, turn it again and see."

"I can't play anymore."

"Of course." Nangong Ran tried to spin it twice by himself. The cue was too long and almost hit himself, so he had to put his mind down and set the ball. "If you win the first game, you teach me to turn the cue."

"Okay." Su Xici didn't know what to learn, but his heart was still beating with joy.

"Know the basic rules."

Su Xici nodded, watching him leaning over gracefully, and with one blow, the balls on the table immediately scattered in all directions.

Although he said he knew, Nangong Ran still focused on a few key points, hit two balls as a demonstration, and asked triumphantly, "Compared with Situ Se, who is the better player?"

This……

"I can't tell." He said, after all, he can clear the table with one shot at the beginning.

Nangong Ran was deep in thought, looked sullen, and hit another ball, and it was Su Xi's turn to resign.

Su Xici had never touched this thing before, and he learned to play like Situ Se and Nan Gongran. This time it was better than last time. At least he hit the white ball. The target ball rolled on the table for a while and stopped .

"Let's play another ball." Nangong Ran carefully observed his movements.

"now you."

"It's okay, just teach me how to turn the pole later."

"Speak as if you have already won." Su Xici was aroused to win, "I will learn later, it is not certain who will win."

Nangong Ran laughed and said, "It's okay, I'll let you have some."

"unnecessary."

"Don't cry if you lose."

Su Xici pursed his lips, last night was really an accident, how could he cry so easily.

This guy only knows his black material in his mind.

"You can't blame me if you lose. It's you, young master, who didn't teach me well."

"I'll talk back." Nangong Ran looked "really amazing", "I can't afford to provoke you."

Su Xici leaned over, his eyes darkened, and he concentrated on aiming the club at the white ball.

There was an extra breath beside the ear.

His heart was beating violently, his hand slipped, and the club almost dropped and hit the white ball.

A hand with wheat-colored skin firmly grasped the club above his pad, and a magnetic low voice was mixed with the breathing in his ear.

"The cue is crooked, aim it here, that's right...don't shake it."

"You are too close to me." Adjusting his glasses, he could feel the other person's hot body temperature, followed by the clean and refreshing smell on his body, ups and downs, pervasive.

Nangong Ran glanced at the distance between the two, and said aggrievedly, "I'm at least twenty centimeters away from you."

But the breath still blows on my face.

"Besides, the closer you are, the better you will be able to teach you. Don't want me to take the blame for your poor skills." He leaned forward and moved closer.

"Uh..." Su Xici tilted his head, his heart beat faster, his hair stood up, goosebumps all stood up, and there was something wrong all over his body.

It's really too close.

Irritated, he putt a shot indiscriminately.

"Who allowed you to play like this." Nangong Ran held down the club with his hand, preventing him from playing.

"Be calm, settle down, keep your hands steady, fast, and ruthless, and focus your eyes on the three targets in a line. See clearly, and tell yourself that there is only one chance, otherwise, the ball in front of you, your prey, will escape... ...Why are you blushing?"

"No... can we play well?"

He added, "Just play ball."

"I'm not teaching you how to play?" What else did they do?

Su Xici stared at the ball table, his face was calm and peaceful, no different from usual.

If you can ignore his blushing face.

"Is it uncomfortable, sick? Or because I went to bed too late last night and didn't have a good rest?" Nangong Ran looked at him and said his own analysis.

Suddenly, his eyes narrowed, "What's the matter with your forehead?"
