Chu Ci ordered a decaf Americano at the coffee shop. He wondered if the coffee beans were not good, and the taste was a bit astringent. He took a sip and put it aside, unwilling to touch it again.

Or maybe it had nothing to do with the coffee, but simply because he wasn't in the mood.

That bouquet of roses made him feel stuck in his throat.

He thought, would Chen Xun accept it?

With such a big bouquet of fiery red roses, even he, a bystander, can feel the fiery love. Will Chen Xun be tempted?

Chu Ci shook his head, cleared his chaotic thoughts, and turned on Chen Xun's computer.After typing in the password, the moment the desktop jumped out, his heart couldn't help but jump a little.

I haven't logged in for a few days, and there is a backlog of unread emails in my mailbox, most of which are invitations from magazines to shoot him.Chu Ci replied one by one, saving Professor Smith's email until the end.

In the email, Professor Smith asked how Chu Ci's newlywed life was. He also mentioned that he had a friend in China who was a professor at the Art College of University A. Knowing that Chu Ci had returned to China, he wanted to invite him to give a lecture on landscape photography.

Chu Ci had promised Professor Smith to return to his alma mater to give lectures but failed to do so, and he felt guilty all the time.This time the professor asked again, and he agreed without hesitation.

Coincidentally, his cell phone rang just after he finished answering the email, and it was still a foreign number.

After picking it up, Jason's energetic voice came from the other end: "Allen, what are you doing?"

"I'm drinking coffee." Chu Ci said truthfully.

Jason let out a "huh" and said, "Are you alone?"

"It doesn't count." Chu Ci looked around, "I'm in the cafe, and there are other customers."

Jason seemed relieved, and asked gossipingly, "Why aren't you with your husband?"

Perhaps influenced by Jason's high mood, Chu Ci pulled away from his depressed mood, pursed his lips and smiled: "I'm just downstairs from his company."

Jason made an exaggerated "ah" sound: "Why do I ask this question?"

After laughing, he started to talk about business: "Allen, the school held a photography exhibition a week ago, and your painting "Sunrise on Mont Blanc" was also on display. There is a buyer who is interested and wants to bid 20 yuan. Dollars to buy. Would you like to sell?"

Almost as soon as Jason finished speaking, Chu Ci replied: "Not for sale."

After a few seconds of silence, Jason asked persistently, "What if the other party pays 200 million?"

Chu Ci said calmly, "It has nothing to do with money."

"Sunrise on Mont Blanc" was Chu Ci's work when he graduated, and he won the New Photographer Award that year in one fell swoop, which also made him a little famous in the photography circle.But he doesn't sell it has nothing to do with it, just because that picture has special meaning to him.

In fact, few people know that he originally gave the photo another name, but he changed it to "Sunrise on Mont Blanc" at the suggestion of the professor for the competition.

"Well, I knew it was unnecessary to ask." Jason reluctantly accepted the fact, and couldn't help complaining, "Allen, sometimes I really think you are a strange person."

Chu Ci blinked and asked seriously, "What's so strange?"

For example, you obviously have a rich friend, but you don't live in his mansion, and you insist on sharing the rent with others.For example, if you resolutely do not take portraits, most of the scenery is dominated by mountains.Another example is that you are living a tight life tomorrow, but someone pays for the work but does not sell it.

These Jason only dared to complain in his heart. He knew that Chu Ci was disgusted by being talked about, so he changed the topic haha.

"By the way, I have accepted a filming assignment, and I may go to China in a while. If you are free, come with me."

Chu Ci has been partnering with Jason since he was in school, and Jason almost accompanied him to climb the mountains in North America and Europe.Hearing that Jason was coming, Chu Ci sat up excitedly: "When? I'll pick you up at the airport."

Jason said an approximate time, and Chu Ci wrote it down. Out of the corner of his eye, he saw the door of the cafe was pushed open, and a familiar figure walked in. He immediately looked at the other person and exchanged glances.

Chu Ci said to Jason: "Tell me when the flight is scheduled, and I will pick you up. Let's not talk about it, I have something to do."

Probably because of seeing Chen Xun, he couldn't control his mood and was overjoyed. Chu Ci also joked: "International long distance is very expensive, let me save you some money."

When Chen Xun came over, he just heard this sentence, and immediately decided that the person on the other end of the phone was Gu Qi'an, his eyes darkened instantly.

He sat down opposite Chu Ci calmly, trying his best to suppress the soreness in his heart, his internal organs were burned with jealousy.

Chu Ci didn't notice, put away the phone and smiled at Chen Xun: "Are you here?"

The rising end note put out half of the jealousy, Chen Xun looked at the barely touched coffee in front of Chu Ci: "Why don't you drink it, it's not good?"

"A little bit." Chu Ci was in a good mood just after chatting with Jason, showing a playful expression, and complained softly, "But the price is so expensive."

Chen Xun's eyes deepened a little. He liked to see Chu Ci's changeable expression, which was vivid and vivid, which showed that Chu Ci really existed in front of him, not just living in his memory.

"Since it's so expensive, it can't be wasted." Chen Xun picked up the coffee, "Mind if I have a taste?"

Chu Ci shook his head, seeing Chen Xun take a sip of the cup he drank from, his face burned a little.

Putting down the cup, Chen Xun gave a serious evaluation: "It's really not that good."

He asked again, "What do you want for lunch?"

Chuci looked at the time: "Don't you need to work?"

"Today is a holiday." Chen Xun smiled, "I also need to rest."

Chu Ci took it for granted, and started to close the computer: "Then let's go home, eat something, and then go to sleep."

After he finished speaking, he suddenly realized that something was wrong. Blush climbed up his face, and even the skin behind his ears was slightly red: "That... I mean, you sleep with yours, and I sleep with mine."

Seeing Chen Xun's undisguised smile, Chu Ci felt that it was better for him to shut up.

He thought maybe Jason was right, he was a weird guy.When they were in love, he did all the shameless things by hooking up with Chen Xun, but now they are lying on the same bed and sleeping separately, they feel shy.

Before leaving, Chu resigned to the front desk to return the borrowed charger to the waiter, then turned around and found a person sitting opposite Chen Xun.

The man sat where he had just been.

Chu Ci immediately felt uncomfortable.

From his perspective, he could only see the back of the man, who seemed to be a young man.

As if aware of the gaze from behind, the man turned his head and smiled at Chu Ci.

A beautiful face with a gentle smile, the kind of appearance that can easily make people feel good.

Out of politeness, Chu Ci smiled back.

He walked over, and the other party stood up and introduced himself: "Hello, my name is An Sinan."

I don't know if it was because Chu Ci was too sensitive, but he always felt that An Sinan looked at him with probing eyes, which aggravated his discomfort.

"I happened to be passing by and came in to say hello when I saw Chen Xun drinking coffee." An Sinan said, "I didn't bother you, did I?"

Chen Xun stood up: "No, we are planning to leave."

An Sinan turned his gaze away again, and said with a smile, "That's good, I happen to be having lunch nearby, if you haven't eaten, why don't we come together, I'll treat you."

Chen Xun's expression was very calm. For some unknown reason, he held Chu Ci's hand before answering An Sinan's question: "Sorry, we have other things to do."

Warm palms covered him, Chu Ci's heart skipped a beat, and he subconsciously looked at Chen Xun.The man's side face fell in the light, and the light and shadow were scattered, making him look more handsome.

"That's really an unfortunate coincidence." An Sinan's eyes skipped the hands that the two shook hands, and he still didn't change his smile when he was rejected, and proposed again, "By the way, we haven't played together for a long time, do you want to make an appointment another day?"

Probably because he was embarrassed to reject the other party continuously, Chen Xun nodded this time: "Find some time, I will ask Liang Xiangcong to go with me."

"Okay." An Sinan said, as if thinking of something, he looked at Chu Ci, "Can you play tennis?"

Chu Ci couldn't help but recall that when he was a child, in order to strengthen his body, his grandfather once asked a coach to teach him tennis. The coach had played world-class competitions and commented that his skills were very good. The only shortcoming was his physical strength.Later, when his grandfather passed away, Yu Zhijian dismissed the coach. It seems that he has not played tennis for many years.

Chu Ci didn't dare to talk too much: "I can fight, but not very well."

"It's okay." An Sinan said with a smile, "We're just playing around, let's go together when the time comes."

An Sinan left, and Chen Xun drove home.It was only after getting into the car that Chu Ci finally couldn't help asking, "Is he your friend?"

Chen Xun looked ahead with a calm expression: "He is Liang Xiangcong's friend."

This answer inexplicably pleased Chu Ci.And Chen Xun didn't seem to want to talk more about An Sinan, so he asked, "Have you decided what to have for lunch?"

Chu Ci pursed his lips, "Order takeaway?"

This is relatively easy.

Chen Xun said: "Takeaway is not healthy, but it's okay to eat occasionally."

He came back, so there was no reason for Chuci to eat takeaway again.

On the way home, Chen Xun stopped at a supermarket. The two of them pushed the cart, passing by rows of shelves, discussing what to eat, which items in the house needed to be replenished when they ran out, and their shoulders occasionally bumped into each other. A couple who have lived together for many years.

Chu Ci had imagined such a scene countless times, but he did not expect it to become a reality.

He thought that if there had been no accidents at home and he hadn't left, he might have married Chen Xun long ago.

But the fact is that he left, and after six years with Chen Xun, other suitors appeared around Chen Xun, and there were many friends he didn't know.

Thinking of this, Chu Ci's heart felt sour, and he secretly warned himself not to be too greedy, it's good as it is now.

Thinking about something in his heart, his steps also slowed down, and when Chu Ci came back to his senses, he realized that Chen Xun had already walked to the front and was looking back at him.

He turned his head in a concealed manner, pointed to the dairy area beside him and said, "The milk seems to be running out at home, I'll go get it."

When they got home, the two of them naturally cooked together, and Chu Ci helped. Chen Xun was surprised that he could distinguish the types of vegetables.

"It's not too difficult to recognize." Chu Ci couldn't help protesting, "I can cook by myself when I'm abroad."

After speaking, he froze himself.I thought I would resist mentioning life abroad, but maybe the atmosphere was too relaxed, so I said it unconsciously.

Chen Xun's Adam's apple rolled imperceptibly.When Chu Ci was with him, he was a young master who didn't touch his fingers. He never thought that Chu Ci would learn to cook.Who did Chu Ci learn to cook for?

In order not to let the atmosphere cool down, he suppressed the discomfort in his heart, pretending to be very interested and asked: "Do you have any special dishes?"

Chu Ci thought carefully for two seconds, and answered honestly: "No."

After he was discharged from the hospital, he lived in Gu Qi'an's house for a short period of time, and then he came out to live by himself. For a while, he went to the Chinese supermarket to buy vegetables and seasonings every day after class, and went back to study the recipes, but he couldn't do anything. Chen Xun didn't even taste like a sandwich at all, so he had to give up in the end.

After a busy meal, it was almost afternoon. Chu Ci thought that Chen Xun would take a rest, but he didn't expect the other party to ask him if he wanted to watch a movie.

Chen Xun picked a movie at random, dimmed the lights in the video room, and sat down on the sofa with Chu Ci.

The film is about a love story that happened in a foreign country. The plot is a little plain. Chu Ci quickly lost interest and yawned a little.

From the corner of his eye, Chen Xun looked at the screen very intently. He pulled himself together again, but he couldn't resist the drowsiness, his eyes gradually became scattered, and his body fell to the side.

Just as he fell, a hand reached out and firmly held his shoulder.

Chu Ci woke up immediately, his heart was beating under his chest, but he didn't open his eyes, but chose to pretend to be asleep.

In the darkness, he felt Chen Xun approaching.

The bodies are stuck together with almost no gaps, and the body temperature conducts with each other, making people feel warm and at ease.Chu Ci kept his posture and didn't dare to move, he just quietly clenched the hand hanging by his side and pressed it against his palm.

After an unknown amount of time, Chu Ci felt Chen Xun move. The hand on his shoulder passed under his armpit, and the other hand held his leg. Then his body lightened, and he was picked up.

The sudden weightlessness made Chu Ci subconsciously put his arms around Chen Xun's shoulders, and opened his eyes, just in time to meet Chen Xun's gaze.

After failing to pretend to be asleep, he moved a bit and whispered, "Put me down, I can walk by myself."

In the darkness, Chu Ci seemed to hear Chen Xun smile.Chen Xun didn't respond, he carried him out of the audio-visual room, walked into the bedroom, and put him on the bed.

The body fell into the soft bed, the earlobes were gently pinched, and Chen Xun's voice fell from the top of his head.

"Sleep with me for a while."

Chu Ci's face burned badly, and the earlobe pinched by Chen Xun was even hotter.He closed his eyes by default, and not long after, he felt that the other side of the bed also sank.

Amidst the chaotic heartbeat, Chu Ci opened his eyes, and added "um" in a low voice.

The author says:

A week of double updates starts today.

Previous story: When Chen Xun was camping, he told Chu Ci that the mountain he most wanted to climb was Mont Blanc.
