After dressing as a villain, I'm with the paranoid male protagonist.

Qiao Annian felt that he might have taken a long time in the shower today and stayed in the bathroom for a long time, so that his brain was a little short of oxygen, which caused his brain to move slowly now.

He didn't realize at all that there was any causal relationship between Xiaolou being a man and him being a man.

He tried hard to connect these words together, and after a while, Qiao Annian suddenly understood something.

"You mean, because I'm also a man, you think you have to avoid suspicion? Or let your future boyfriend know that you are so old and sleep with me in the same bed, and he will be jealous?"

Qiao Annian tried to substitute it in. If Xiaolou was a girl, she would still be with him at this age...

God!

Stop it, stop it.

This kind of substitution is terrible!

Qiao Annian's expression was serious: "You're right. It's really inappropriate for you to sleep with me at your age. Then I'll go back to my room first, good night."

Qiao Annian said he would go back to his room as soon as he said he would go back to his room, and he was not procrastinating at all.

Turn around, go straight, close the door, all in one go.

He Nanlou: "..."

...

Qiao Annian went back to the room.

According to the original plan, he searched for a horror movie and watched it.

The sound effects were well rendered, and the actors were screaming hard, but Qiao Annian couldn't help being distracted.

The camera suddenly showed a bloody close-up, and Qiao Annian got out of bed with a calm face.

He bent down, searched in the drawer, and pulled out a magazine album.

In the past few years, every time Xiaolou went abroad, he would give Xiaolou a photo album, and he would keep a copy for himself. , will gradually sort out the photos that he kept in his hand in the early years and make them into a booklet.

On the cover of each photo album, there are two numbers written, which are the ages of him and Xiaolou at that time.

The numbers on the cover of the magazine album that Qiao Annian is currently holding are 6 and 12. It has the fewest photos in it, but it is the one he flips through the most, so that the cover of the album is a little curled.

Qiao Annian went to bed with the photo album in his hands.

Opening the first page of the cover, there is the first photo he took of the child, which was taken in the yard.

At that time, he had just passed through the small building because he was locked up in the yard overnight by the original body, and the high fever had not subsided. After school, he deliberately took the child to the yard to play, thinking that the child would sweat, and the body temperature Fade faster.

At that time, the little guy was still wary of him, and it was not easy to take these photos.

Qiao Annian still remembers that when the child found out that he was taking pictures, he looked at him coldly, with a sullen face, and asked him to delete the pictures.

Qiao Annian leaned on the back of the bed and flipped through the pages. How could time pass so fast?

It was such a small group at the beginning, but now it has grown taller than him.

The sound effect of surprise and surprise was too loud, so Qiao Annian turned down the sound.

He didn't turn off the video because he wanted to make the room a little louder.

It was too quiet, and he was afraid that he might not get used to it.

The one-and-a-half-hour movie begins to play the ending song, and the video stops automatically after the ending song is played.

Hearing no sound, Qiao Annian raised his head in a daze, only to realize that the movie had ended at some point.

No wonder his neck is a little sore...

Qiao Annian rubbed his sore neck, glanced at the time in the lower right corner of his hand, and realized that it was almost ten o'clock before he knew it.

I have to go to work tomorrow.

Qiao Annian closed the photo album, put it aside, removed the lazy table and handbag, and got out of bed to wash.

After washing up, Qiao Annian shook the water in his hand and left the room.

Joannian was just about to open the

Putting the quilt on the bed, she subconsciously withdrew her hand and pulled out a tissue beside the bed.I didn't realize until halfway through wiping that a certain clean freak wouldn't sleep with him anymore, and before going to bed, I don't need to dry my hands and feet before going to bed, even if I go to bed naked and wet , and no one will interfere with him.

Qiao Annian threw the paper towels into the trash can, thinking, thank goodness, if he had known earlier, he should have come out of the bathroom directly without having to put on cotton slippers after he got out of the bathroom.

After getting into bed, Qiao Annian habitually lay on the left side, and the position on the inside was for the child.

Joannian: "..."

Qiao Annian covered the quilt, closed her eyes, and planned to enter sleep mode.

Sleep mode failed to start again.

Qiao Annian turned over, opened his eyes, tried hard to restrain the urge in the child's room, and forced himself into sleep mode.

Qiao Annian's eyes were wide open, looking at the faint light outside the window through the curtains.

Well, forcing sleep mode also failed.

Joannian turned on the light.

He opened the photo album and magazine that he had placed beside the bed before going to bed, and flipped through it page by page from beginning to end.

Gradually, the eyelids became a little heavy.

Qiao Annian yawned, turned off the light, and lay back on the bed.

Next to the pillow, there was an open magazine photo album.

At night, Qiao Annian fell into a drowsy sleep, and habitually reached out to touch the side.

Touched empty.

That's right, Xiaolou went back to his own room to sleep.

He was obviously sleepy just now, but now he lost his sleepiness.

Qiao Annian closed her eyes and tried her best to fall asleep.

His current state is a bit like when Xiaolou first went abroad.

In the past, every time Xiaolou had to go back to school for class, he was still like this. He was not used to it, and it would take a while to get used to it.

Qiao Annian sighed deeply in his heart.

I just don't know how long it will take him to adapt this time.

...

Qiao Annian didn't sleep well all night, and when she heard the alarm clock, she woke up immediately.

Lifting the quilt, the first thing is to run to the bathroom.

When he unbuttoned his pants, he realized belatedly that he slept alone last night, and when he got up in the morning, of course no one rushed to the bathroom with him.

In fact, Xiaolou would not compete with him for the bathroom. Every time he said to wait, Xiaolou would go to wash up first and squeeze the toothpaste for him.

Seeing the child at the dining table, Qiao Annian deliberately stared into the child's eyes for a long time.

The pupils are clear and the eyes are clear.

Very good, he was the only one who achieved it in an unaccustomed world.

"Niannian, you went downstairs just in time. Mom has to go to work first. You and Xiaolou eat first. Especially you, you must eat first before going to work, you know?"

Zhang Qianrou picked up the bag on the dining chair, carried it on her back, and was about to go to work.

"Got it, Mom, you go. Be careful on the road."

Zhang Qianrou went to the entrance to change her shoes.

Qiao Annian pushed the dining chair away and sat down, his eyes fell on the child opposite him, and he didn't intend to take it back.

He Nanlou who was having breakfast raised his eyelids, "Why are you looking at me like that?"

Qiao Annian pushed aside the dining chair and sat down without denying it. He is not the kind of person who dares not admit it when he looks at people.

Besides, there's nothing wrong with admitting to that in itself.

Qiao Annian stared at the child, "Because I want to firmly remember the face in front of me, this fickle, widowed, heartless, heartless face."

He Nanlou raised his head, glanced at him, and repeated: "Thin, widowed?"

Qiao Annian nodded, "If you're still heartless, add it."

He Nanlou picked up the milk on the table,

He took a sip of milk unhurriedly, "Let's talk about it."

Qiao Annian then explained how he suffered from insomnia last night, how he was not used to it, how he fell asleep in a daze at night, and how he reached out to check if the child had kicked the quilt.

"Do you know what time I fell asleep after I woke up? Four or five o'clock! It means that from last night to now, I have only slept for three or four hours. I thought you would not get used to it , Uh huh, obviously, I'm being sentimental."

Qiao Annian angrily took a bite of the crunchy honey French bread.

He Nanlou did not have any sleep disturbances last night.

In the past few days after returning to China, he took cold showers for several days in a row, and last night he woke up until dawn after a long absence.

He Nanlou was keenly aware of the other information contained in Qiao Annian's words almost immediately, "Did I go abroad, too?"

Unaccustomed to always waking up at night, sleep light, so sleep is very fragmented?

Qiao Annian chewed the bread in his mouth, it was a bit dry, he picked up the milk on his table, took a sip, swallowed the bread in his mouth, and then replied: "Yes. You don't know that every time you go abroad , I have to adapt to the last week to half a month. It’s okay, I didn’t think about it comprehensively before. Anyway, it’s not that I haven’t adapted, this time it’s estimated that it will take ten days and a half month, and I’ll get used to it.”

He Nanlou lowered his eyes to hide the surging light in his eyes, and replied ambiguously, "Really?"

Qiao Annian said angrily, "What's the matter? I couldn't get used to the fact that the two of us shared rooms and slept in separate beds. You're very proud, aren't you? You enjoy my jokes, don't you?"

He Nanlou: "I didn't read the joke."

Qiao Annian added coolly, "No wonder."

...

His french bread was a bit dry today, and Qiao Annian needed a sip of milk for every sip, so the time for breakfast was much slower than usual.

It's almost time, Qiao Annian drank all the milk in the cup.

Qiao Annian stood up: "Baby, eat slowly. I have to go to work."

He Nanlou just finished eating the fried eggs on the plate, and he stood up, "I'll go with you."

Qiao Annian suddenly remembered that Xiaolou told him yesterday that he went to MT to work as a technical consultant for Brian.

I still asked for confirmation: "Are you going to MT?"

"Ah."

"Going to work today? Is there a shortage of MT?"

He Nanlou: "I don't know if there are enough employees. Someone from the HR department will be responsible."

"Of course I know that the HR department is responsible for the employment situation. I mean, why did Brian ask you to go to the company today? The time is so urgent. Also, do you know, your tone of voice just now, as if you are an MT executive Like. 'Whether there are enough employees, someone from the HR department will be responsible.' Hahaha."

Qiao Annian imitated the tone of the child just now, and said what the child said.

After the imitation, he himself was amused by his tone: "Bao, to be honest, you have the potential to be the boss. Let's go, anyway, I will take you to MT. By the way, you have to take it with you." Go there? If you want it, go upstairs and get it, I'll wait for you at the entrance."

He Nanlou: "I've already taken off the handbag."

Joannian: "..."

Are you so interested in this job?

However, MT is a multinational company after all, and its scale is much larger than that of Juhui. Xiaolou should be able to learn a lot of things other than technology, which is convenient for starting a business in the future, which is also very good.

"That's fine. It's cold, I'm going to drive, just wait for me at the door."

Qiao Annian planned to drive by himself first, but the child followed him out.

Qiao Annian was helpless in taking the child.

The wind outside is really cold. Just walking from the door to the garage, the wind blows on my body, and the coldness penetrates directly into my body, which is biting.

How many years after Joannian

It seems to be used to run, run into the car.Of course, it was with the child.

With the door closed, my body felt a lot warmer.

Qiao Annian took off his coat, and quickly put the coat and the child's hand on the rear driver's seat.

He turned around and leaned over to fasten the child's safety belt, "It's such a cold day, what do you think you're going out with me?"

"Is it warmer?"

He Nanlou held Qiao Annian's cold hand.

The child's palms are warm.

Qiao Annian didn't quite understand how the child's hands could be warmed up so quickly when he also came in from the room.

Qiao Annian was stunned for a while, with some doubts, and then asked with some perplexity, "What we are doing now, to you gays, does that count as infidelity?"

He Nanlou raised his eyelids slightly, "What do you think?"

Qiao Annian: "How do I know this? Where do I think I'm going? I can also ask any gay guy on the main road, do you think it's appropriate for a boy to warm another boy's hands?"

Not to mention that he couldn't identify his sexuality by looking at it, even if he was lucky enough to ask the right question, people probably wouldn't bother to talk to him.

There is no one to ask in his life, his social circle is very simple, except for Lele and the others, they are colleagues in the company, and those friends in the photography circle don't have much contact with each other.

Except for Xiaolou, he doesn't know any gays.

Oh, yes, plus Luo Chu and Lu Zehan.

Perhaps, he should consult Luo Chu or Lu Zehan, what kind of measure should be grasped when getting along with Xiaolou?

The main reason is that he and Xiaolou are too close, and it is really difficult for him to distinguish which behaviors are appropriate and which behaviors are inappropriate.

Ok……

It seems that if he has time, he would like to consult Luo Chu or Lu Zehan.

"There is no need to refer to other people. Individuals are different. Each person's degree of acceptance of other same-sex intimacy and the degree of judging whether it is cross-border are also different."

Joannian asked puzzledly, "It's written on my face that I'm going to ask someone else?"

He Nanlou: "It's written on your face, I don't understand, so I have to find someone to ask."

Qiao Annian felt quite expressiony, "Really? Is my expression so obvious?"

He Nanlou: "Do you think I won't get used to warming your hands?"

Qiao Annian tilted her head and looked at the child: "To be honest?"

He Nanlou raised his eyelids: "What do you think?"

"I think, maybe before last night, you warmed my hands, I think it's nothing. But you reminded me that after the same sex is different, I will... more or less."

Before last night, Xiaolou had no concept of gender for him.

Both of them are boys, and they were children he watched and grew up with. Before last night, he hadn't realized that Xiaolou was treated as a, um, a same-sex that he needed to keep a distance from.

At most, when the child is grown up, he shouldn't kiss at every turn like before.

But it is also based on an adult's love and respect for children, regardless of gender.

Anyway, it does feel a little subtle.

He Nanlou held the wrist of one of Qiao Annian's hands, and kissed the back of his hand.

Qiao Annian was a little confused, "What are you doing?"

He Nanlou raised his head and stared at him with dark eyes: "Will you feel uncomfortable?

Joannian shook his head.

He Nanlou's eyes gradually darkened: "Me neither."

Qiao Annian understood in seconds: "You mean, we are too familiar, so we can't sleep together except in the future. After all, there are differences between men and men. Everything else is as usual. Is that what you mean?"

He Nanlou touched his ears, the corners of his lips curled up, "Smart."

The time when Qiao Annian touched the child to his ear

One hand was taken down, "You are overwhelmed by my IQ, why are you touching my ears? Sit down, I'm going to drive. If you don't leave, I'm going to be late."

Qiao Annian started the car.

Resist the urge to touch your ears while holding the steering wheel.

Strange, why did his ears itch after being touched by Xiaolou?

If he wasn't driving, Qiao Annian really wanted to examine the child's hands carefully to see if he had wiped anything on them.

Otherwise, why would his ears itch after touching his ears?

...

Juhui and MT are both in the Science and Technology Park.

It's just that the MT covers a much larger area, and the location is more inside.

Qiao Annian sent the child to the door of the MT, and handed him the handbag in the back seat, "Call me if you are off work, and I'll see if I'm off work. If I haven't off work yet, you can Wait for me at the company, or take a taxi back by yourself."

"I'm waiting for you."

"Okay, then I'll see you at that time. Hey, I don't think we need to meet at that time. You had lunch at the company, right? Would you like to come to our company for dinner? Juhui is not as big as MT, but the food is okay."

It may not be suitable for a child to be a picky eater, since he is a full-time employee of Juhui after all.Xiaolou is different, he is still just an intern, and he was invited by Brian, so it is not a big problem to enter and exit their company.

He Nanlou: "Then I will contact you at noon."

Qiao Annian nodded: "Yes. There are shared bicycles in the park, so you can just ride over here. Well, it seems that it's not easy, you don't know how to ride a bicycle. Then I'll pick you up by bicycle. In winter Is it too cold behind the bike? Then I'll drive..."

The main reason is that the distance is too short by car, and it only takes seven or eight minutes to get there by bike, and it is even faster by car.

"will not"

"That's fine, I'll come to see you as soon as I get off work at noon."

"Ah."

...

He Nanlou got out of the car, and Qiao Annian drove to Juhui.

"No wonder when I asked you to buy a car, you said you had other plans. So your other plan is to let your elder brother pick you up from get off work every day? Tsk tsk, Xiaolou, you put your mind on things other than AI. , use it on Qiao Annian, right?"

Someone touched his shoulder, He Nanlou took the hand on his shoulder away, and walked into the MT hall.

Gu Jin followed, "Stingy, touch it, and you won't lose a piece of meat."

With He Nanlou's offer, Gu Jin naturally became the CFO assistant smoothly.

He is now on winter vacation, and the university also encourages students to find companies for internships during the holidays, so he told his parents, and after asking for his parents' approval, he started working for an internship today.

Gu Jin drove here by himself, and when he parked, he saw Qiao Annian's car.

Qiao Annian is an employee of Juhui, he will appear here, it can only mean that Xiaolou is in his car.

Sure enough, he guessed it right.

Gu Jin is not stupid either, thinking that he asked He Nanlou to buy a car yesterday, but He Nanlou replied that he had other plans, so of course he understood everything.

Gu Jin walked side by side with He Nanlou, "You haven't answered me yet. You don't buy a car, is it just to ride in Qiao Annian's car every day? You live under the same roof, and you already look up and down every day. See, you are not tired of looking at the same face every day?"

"Oh, by the way, are you in the stage of pursuing Joannian now?"

"When are you going to confess? Do you need my help..."

The two walked to the elevator.

He Nanlou pressed the elevator, and the elevator door opened.

He stepped into the elevator and pressed the close button.

With sharp eyes and quick hands, Gu Jin quickly squeezed in and glared at He Nanlou: "That's too much! I just wanted to see if you need my help out of kindness, okay? I don't know good people.

Heart! "

He Nanlou: "Have you ever experienced love?"

Gu Jin raised her chin slightly: "Hmph, wise men don't fall in love. Only fools want to get involved with love. A smart and quick-witted person like me certainly wouldn't foolishly touch those feelings, love!"

He Nanlou sneered: "The theory and practice are lackluster, what can you do to help me?"

Gu Jin: "!!!"

Want to curse! ! !

...

Qiao Annian didn't sleep well last night, and his work status in the morning was entirely due to coffee.

The first thing I do when I arrive at the company in the morning is to make coffee in the pantry.

It's just that the duration of coffee is limited after all.

I went to Fuyuan with Wen Ze and the team members, and successfully won the cooperation project. On the way back, Qiao Annian leaned on the car and almost fell asleep several times.

Even Lin Zhao, who was driving, could tell that his team leader was not in the right state today, and the other two team members, He Xianjun and Peng Yuxuan, the only girl in Qiao Annian's team, could also tell that it was just a hindrance. Because of the presence of his boss, Wen Ze, he was embarrassed to ask.

It was Wen Ze who asked, "Did you not sleep well last night?"

Qiao Annian cheered up to avoid being too rude in front of her boss: "Well, I was a little sleepless last night. I'm sorry, let Mr. Wen see a joke."

Wen Ze could see it, the young man's eyes were a little bloodshot, "Because I'm a little nervous about discussing cooperation with Fuyuan today?"

Qiao Annian said in his heart that it would be fine if he was on business, and he never lost sleep over work.

Qiao Annian made a joke, "If I say no, will President Wen feel that I don't care enough about the company?"

Wen Ze couldn't help laughing, "How could that be? Besides, when you introduced the project to Fuyuan's representative today, you performed very well."

Joannian: "You're too much."

Wen Ze admired Qiao Annian even more.

They have been preparing for this project with Fuyuan for a long time.This project has brought a lot of profits to their company, and Qiao Annian's team will also take a lot of profits.Of course, it also undoubtedly opened a head for him, a manager who just took office.

Because of this, he was inevitably a little restless last night, so he barely fell asleep with a glass of red wine.

Although Qiao Annian also suffered from insomnia yesterday, but judging from his tone, it was obviously not because of business.

The case that won Fuyuan today is also the same.

Several of his team members couldn't hide their joy, and even he reluctantly suppressed it, pretending to be serious.

It seemed that only Qiao Annian was truly calm.

It seemed that what they won this morning was just an ordinary project.

Wen Ze's eyes softened, and he said in a gentle voice: "When you go back, go to the lounge to catch up on sleep, and you will be more energetic in the afternoon."

"Ah."

Qiao Annian responded subconsciously, and suddenly asked, "What time is it?"

He asked this question to his subordinate He Xianjun sitting in the front seat.

Peng Yuxuan happened to be holding the mobile phone in her hand, she glanced at it, "It's 11:45, it's already past the noon off work time, the team leader, after you go back, have lunch and catch up on sleep..."

Qiao Annian's drowsiness disappeared all at once, "What? It's 11:45?"

Qiao Annian quickly took out the phone in his pocket.

Because he had been negotiating with Fuyuan's representative in the morning, he turned off his cell phone.

The interface was unlocked, and sure enough, there were three missed calls.

For Xiaolou, making three phone calls is already a big deal.

Qiao Annian hurriedly called the child back.

"What's the matter? Boss, looking at your serious expression, it's the same as I usually forgot to call my girlfriend back."

He Xianjun was joking, of course he knew that his team leader was single.

Peng Yuxuan was an intern recruited just last month. She didn't know the situation, and she didn't hear it.

He Xianjun was joking.

She gave Qiao Annian a suggestion: "It's okay, team leader, you can explain it to your sister-in-law, and say that because there is a very important business project to discuss in the morning, the phone is muted, and my sister-in-law can understand."

The phone was already connected, and Qiao Annian spoke twice, only to be interrupted by He Xianjun and Peng Yuxuan.

Qiao Annian couldn't laugh or cry.Regardless of explaining to the two of them, Qiao Annian hurriedly said to the child on the other end of the phone, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, Bao, I got dizzy this morning..."

He Nanlou: "I heard it."
