【Zhou Xiang】The Tropic

1.

Exclusive VIP starry sky 4D romantic couple sofa lounge. 4D is nothing more than shaking the seat to blow the wind and spray water. The sofa for lovers is probably two seats put together to sit together. Sun Xiang was embarrassed for a few seconds and was mentally prepared.But what the hell is the starry sky?

"Simulated imaging of the starry sky?" Zhou Zekai thought for a while.

"The ceiling is flickering, and the unknown is distracting? It must be just the name of the hall!" Sun Xiang was very sure.

Entering the theater while talking, Sun Xiang was dumbfounded, and it took him a long time to choke out "...Damn! Can you still play like this?"

Astral imaging is no longer critical, the key is the sofa!Bah, what sofa... isn't this just a double bed?

——The width is more than 1.8 meters, with double pillows and large blankets.Sleeping in a movie theater is not an ordinary level of stimulation even if each bed has a partition baffle...

"Which genius thought of setting up a bed in a movie theater???!" Sun Xiang was dumbfounded, and at the same time wanted to refund the ticket.

"Let's go first." Zhou Zekai tugged him to make it easier for other audience members to pass.

"...Row J, seat 7." Sun Xiang sighed, and he forced Zhou Zekai to find a seat.

Fortunately, the conductor did not cheat him, and gave him a seat in the middle of the highest row, which at least avoided the embarrassment of "being looked down upon and watched".

"How about we sit and watch a movie?"

Zhou Zekai shook his head, signaling to Sun Xiang that there was something mysterious about the height of the baffle.

"I'll go." This baffle was designed by a ghost—for fear that the couple would not be intimate enough—the total height is less than half a meter.If you insist on sitting, because of the artificial starlight above your head, even after the movie starts, you will still be clearly seen by your surroundings.

Just when Sun Xiang was going crazy, Zhou Zekai had already figured out a way.

He folded the blanket up behind the two large pillows, using the thickness of the blanket and pillows to raise the top half of the bed quite a bit.In this way, the "double bed" is transformed into a "double chaise longue."

"I really have you!" Sun Xiang heaved a sigh of relief, fell back lazily, and stretched his waist, "That's right, I can concentrate on watching the movie now! Wait, movie, what the hell did I buy..."

At this time, Sun Xiang finally remembered to pay attention to the content of the movie.

"It's actually a domestic horror movie?" He stuffed the movie ticket back into his pocket, "It's over, it's super boring."

As he spoke, he immediately yawned.

Zhou Zekai glanced over.Sun Xiang immediately guessed the subtext, and coughed with extra guilt: "Have some confidence in me, okay? Anyway, it's the first date, how could I fall asleep?"

"Ah."

The lights went out.The screen began to display routine fire protection knowledge science.Sun Xiang became more and more bored, and looked up to study the artificial starry sky.

The spiral arm of the Milky Way is rotating at an ultra-slow speed, and the stars are blinking slowly. The picture is extremely quiet and dreamy, enough to hypnotize.Nestled in the soft and comfortable sofa bed, Sun Xiang couldn't help but yawned a second time.

"..."

He shuddered and slapped his face fiercely, trying to wake himself up.

Zhou Zekai stopped him: "Sleep for 5 minutes."

"No."

"I'll call you." Zhou Zekai's attitude was particularly firm.

so good? !The villain in Sun Xiang cheered.But because of his face, he still hesitated: "Well... it won't take five minutes, as soon as the protagonist comes out, yes, you can call me as soon as you come out. It's done!"

"Yeah." Zhou Zekai's voice carried a muffled smile.

Normally, Sun Xiang would probably stare at him, but now he is so sleepy that his eyelids droop, so he has no time to get angry.He subconsciously turned his body towards Zhou Zekai, feeling someone holding his hand and scratching his palm.In a daze, he reflexively clasped back, grasped tightly to prevent the other party from disturbing him, and then fell asleep without distraction.

2.

When he woke up, the starry sky was still there, halfway through the movie.Sun Xiang moved his sleeping bag, only to realize that for some reason, he was pressing Zhou Zekai's shoulder.

He hurriedly stood up halfway, ignoring his slightly hot face, and rubbed his eyes annoyedly: "The 4D that was agreed, why are there no special effects?"

Zhou Zekai pretended not to hear that he was looking for an excuse to cover up the fact that he had slept too deeply, and continued to eat popcorn leisurely.

"My caramel popcorn!" Sun Xiang belatedly realized another thing - any later, the popcorn would be finished by Zhou Zekai.

Of course Zhou Zekai ignored him.

"..." Sun Xiang decided to make a living by himself.

But in order not to disturb his sleep, Zhou Zekai put the popcorn bucket on the other side.So at this moment, Sun Xiang had to use one hand to keep his balance, and his whole upper body went over Zhou Zekai to grab it.Unknowingly, intentionally or not, he accidentally touched the back of Zhou Zekai's hand while grabbing the popcorn bucket.

In the darkness, the ambiguity was like sparks, lightly falling on the skin, burning Sun Xiang instantly.

His wrist trembled slightly, his center of gravity shifted, and he fell straight into Zhou Zekai's arms.

3.

Zhou Zekai didn't have time to dodge in order to save the popcorn bucket that was overturned.By the time the two of them reacted, they had been hugging each other for quite a while.

"Are you okay?" Zhou Zekai's voice was strangely deep.

"...It's okay." Sun Xiang felt that he was not much better.Even so, he didn't get up immediately.

Regardless of the circumstances, he's absolutely willing to accept the possibility of wasting an entire movie extravagantly with cuddly hugs and kisses all the time.The problem is, he's not that thick-skinned yet, so he can't ignore it at all!

Thinking of this, Sun Xiang's sanity came online quickly.He pretended to be calm, but actually got up in a hurry.

In order to prevent another "accident", Zhou Zekai carried the popcorn between the two of them.For more than ten minutes, they tacitly avoided looking at each other, "concentrated" on eating popcorn, and "studying" the plot of the movie.

It happened to be the scene where the heroine ate candy and licked her fingers. Sun Xiang just held the caramel popcorn for so long, and his fingertips were naturally a little sticky.He rummaged through his pockets, but couldn't find a tissue for a moment, convinced himself that Zhou Zekai wouldn't see it, and quickly snapped his fingers.

... His movements froze suddenly.

In the next second, for the first time, he complained about his sharpness of sight to Zhou Zekai—even in the dark, he was able to notice it immediately.

It's not the worst.

The heating in the auditorium was turned on just right.But at this moment, Sun Xiang felt that it seemed to be out of control-the air temperature was rising, and the oxygen content seemed to be slightly insufficient-the finger was caught off guard, and the hot and humid feeling disappeared in a flash, and the heartbeat also suddenly ups and downs.

"Wait..." He only had time to say two syllables before Zhou Zekai kissed him.

It is the aroma of popcorn, light but long sweet and greasy.Zhou Zekai carefully ferried to him, but he ferried him back again.He amusedly suspected that Zhou Zekai was asking him to confirm some code, and then remembered why he proposed the midnight movie at first, so he didn't even bother to struggle, and closed his eyes——

Zhou Zekai's lips are thin and soft, especially kissable.However, it is estimated that as food, his evaluation by Zhou Zekai is also at the same S level.When the two tongues collided, tiny electric currents rushed all the way to the brain.Every cluster of sparks crackled and exploded, burning my head wildly.

After a while, Sun Xiang opened his eyes again, squinting lazily, and could vaguely see what plot was playing on the screen through the tangled hair.The information received by the senses has become complicated and interesting all of a sudden.

——Several students started arguing about the order of inviting the pen fairy; Zhou Zekai was licking the tip of his tongue.

——The long-haired female ghost screamed and ran around the school building; Zhou Zekai was rubbing his hair roots, his fingertips were dry and warm.

——The third unlucky ghost died, the way of death was very funny and fake, blood like tomato sauce was splattered everywhere; Zhou Zekai covered his eyes.

"Why?" Sun Xiang raised his eyebrows, and his eyebrows swept over the latter's palm.

"You're not paying attention." Zhou Zekai hit the nail on the head.

"It's my fault." Sun Xiang quickly admitted his mistake, and then smiled in a low voice. He closed his eyes, and took the initiative to increase the strength of wrapping around Zhou Zekai's shoulders.

4.

No one had time to pay attention to what was going on in the movie in the last half hour.

At the beginning, it was just teasing like a slapstick, both of them knew where they were, and felt they could hold on to it, they just chased each other's lips shallowly.But the feeling of rapid heartbeat can't fool anyone, the heat image is like a virus, I infect you, you infect me, and it gets worse.

Sun Xiang tilted his head halfway and raised his head, but it was almost at an angle, so Zhou Zekai simply turned sideways and knelt on the cushion on one knee.Sun Xiang was not idle either.He tied Zhou Zekai's tie, so naturally he has to loosen it now.Thinking of Zhou Zekai's reaction before, he groped up his neck, found his Adam's apple, and rubbed it lightly with his fingertips—he didn't know if it was a prank or not.

But the effect was indeed obvious - Zhou Zekai's body shook, he grabbed Sun Xiang's hand, and his voice was a little hoarse: "Don't make trouble."

Just as Sun Xiang wanted to refute why you attacked me so confidently before, before the words reached his mouth, his breathing suddenly stopped, and the fingers embedded in Zhou Zekai's shoulders suddenly tightened.The only thing that can be made is a soft breathing sound.

——Zhou Zekai suddenly lowered his head, covering his Adam's apple.

He raised his hand to cover his mouth and told him rationally that this is a movie theater.

Prevent?Of course Sun Xiang thought about it.But with the intertwined sense of guilt and excitement rising, Sun Xiang chose to give up.

The only memory of the second half is that the two of them were naturally hardened, and there was too much movement to help each other, so they had to forcefully distance themselves, and slowly calmed down and breathed together shoulder to shoulder.

Occasionally they turned their heads away for a kiss that was quiet enough to make up for the loss of being interrupted.

"It's too depraved." Sun Xiang sighed with emotion in a low voice.He couldn't imagine that the two of them would be in this state when they were together before - just casually being intimate, they couldn't help but shoot off.

"Are you disgusted?" Zhou Zekai asked him after being silent for a moment.

He turned over and rested his head on his arms, Zhou Zekai turned around like him.The two stared at each other silently for a while.

The hazy starlight fell on the side of Zhou Zekai's face, and he could see the seriousness and nervousness hidden in the other's eyes, as if Zhou Zekai would immediately put away the wanton and capricious towards him if he said something disgusting.

Sun Xiang couldn't help reaching out to touch Zhou Zekai's hair, and pinched his face helplessly.

Zhou Zekai looked at him without knowing.

"Don't think about it," Sun Xiang looked at him with a smile, "I'm just surprised. I know I like you, but I don't know that I like you so much."

When he was pushed back to the sofa bed and blocked his lips, Sun Xiang wondered, did he say anything special?

5.

At 3 o'clock in the morning, the movie ends.They didn't evacuate until most of the couples were almost gone.Unlike before coming here, Zhou Zekai kept grabbing his hand, even in the brightly lit movie theater lobby, he held on stubbornly.

Sun Xiang vaguely saw that the little conductor girl was still there, and his face under the mask immediately turned red, but he didn't let go of his clasped fingers.

It was obviously not wise to go home at this moment.Zhou Zekai needed to rest immediately, and so did he.

They took rooms at a nearby hotel.After simply taking a shower, Sun Xiang was surprisingly calm when he lifted the quilt, as if he were two different people from the previous night's hesitation.

Zhou Zekai left the bathroom a little slower than him.Sun Xiang patted the bed and urged impatiently: "Hurry up, student, the lights in the dormitory are going to be turned off."

Zhou Zekai didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and was not polite. After getting on the bed, he turned the person to lie on his back, put his arms across Sun Xiang's chest and hugged him tightly, and then logically pressed half of his head to his shoulders.Just close your eyes.

He was wearing the pajamas provided by the hotel, but Sun Xiang didn't.The satin surface was a little cold against the skin, but the weight and temperature of Zhou Zekai's arms were extremely solid.Sun Xiang found it funny that Zhou Zekai was usually a very cold professional elite, but at this moment, the posture leaning on Sun Xiang's neck was more like some kind of small animal - fluffy, huddling around in the nest, finding Sleep in the most comfortable position.

Sun Xiang originally planned to turn off the lights when someone went to bed, but he couldn't help but stare at Zhou Zekai's side face under the shadow of his torn hair.Half a year ago, he would never have imagined that he and this former teammate, former best partner, a man who once thought it was impossible to have an intersection in his life would be so intimately embraced—closer than anyone in the world.Not to mention that he was still wearing the white jade pendant Zhou Zekai gave him, in a sense, it had the effect of a lifetime agreement.

For a long time, he regarded Zhou Zekai as a silent cold mountain, a lake in winter, who would have expected that one day, the cold mountain would have a sunny moment, and the emotions contained in the winter lake would make people dripping.

6.

Romance is a luxury for career men like Sun Xiang and Zhou Zekai.

The end of the year is approaching, and busyness is their normal state.Often I don't sleep directly at the company, and I only find out the existence of the other party when I wake up in the morning, and I have to go to a meeting after a hasty kiss.

And vaguely, Sun Xiang felt that Zhou Zekai was not simply tossing about the original mess, from Ye Mingkang and Zhou Zekai's occasional leaks—I don't know if it was intentional, but there are obviously more "news" on Ye Mingkang's side— He guessed that Zhou Zekai seemed to be preparing for a particularly important "new project".

He has already passed the age when gossip is curious without the brain, as long as it doesn't affect the relationship, he doesn't mind if Zhou Zekai hides one or two secrets.

On the contrary, Sun Xiang always remembered the scene where Zhou Zekai passed out from the burn, seeing that the other party was so busy that he couldn't help but worry about Zhou Zekai's body.

"Well, I understand." Zhou Zekai kissed him, got up and got dressed, and then just when Sun Xiang felt perfunctory, he suddenly said, "When is the annual leave?"

Sun Xiang was stunned for a moment before realizing what Zhou Zekai was referring to.He was so excited that he almost jumped out of bed.

"Annual leave? Are you stupid? I'm the boss, and I can leave whenever I want!" Sun Xiang thought for a while, but couldn't help but roll over again, "Yes, we can go on vacation and travel!"

"Yeah. You decide where to go." Zhou Zekai nodded.He thought it would be better to leave this kind of matter to Sun Xiang, so he turned around and went to the bathroom with peace of mind.

Half a minute later, Sun Xiang put on a T-shirt and appeared in the bathroom.

A scene that made Zhou Zekai dumbfounded happened.

Sun Xiang is a man of action, and he can't wait to set the itinerary immediately.Zhou Zekai squeezed toothpaste for him, but he didn't move, staring at the mobile phone screen to study the home page recommendation of the travel app.

"Island?" Zhou Zekai glanced at it.

"You like it too?" Sun Xiang asked expectantly, "Let me tell you that there are so many things to do on the island!"

"I can do anything." Zhou Zekai has only been to the island once, mainly at the request of Ye Wanyi, to accompany the old man to "rest and recuperate his body".He remembered that he was in Okinawa at that time, staying in the sea view room every day, and occasionally saw that the sky outside was bluer than the sea, and the sun was very hot, but he had no impression of anything else.Of course, he had no idea what "playable" Sun Xiang was talking about.

"Then go to the place you like?" Sun Xiang said immediately, "Or you don't have to go abroad, but you can do what you want in China!"

Sun Xiang asked seriously, Zhou Zekai couldn't be perfunctory.It's a pity that he searched his memories, and the so-called "lazy vacation" he could really recall was actually the scene of secretly playing Glory with Ye Mingkang during the summer vacation of the second year of junior high school.

"Pfft," Sun Xiang couldn't help laughing, "Zhou Zekai, why don't you be so honest!"

But after a while, Sun Xiang bumped Zhou Zekai's shoulder: "I'll say."

"Huh?" Zhou Zekai looked at him, thinking whether to help Sun Xiang wipe off the remaining toothpaste directly.

"It seems good to play games at home. And you don't need to waste time on transportation. Isn't vacation just for rest anyway?!"

7.

They really didn't even bother to play games when Zhou Zekai managed to spare a day off.Sun Xiang woke up and made the simplest noodles. After eating, the dishwasher and the sweeping robot took care of the work. The two of them nestled into the sofa, occasionally eating fruit, and chatting for a while. Shoulder against shoulder, drowsy.

In the end, Sun Xiang really didn't want to degenerate too thoroughly, so he suggested watching a movie.

His original words were: "I'm too sleepy, if I don't find something to do, I'm afraid I'll fall asleep again."

In the end, the words came to fruition, and the progress bar only pulled up to about 3 minutes before he fell asleep leaning on Zhou Zekai's shoulder.

When he woke up, Sun Xiang was looking up.It took him several seconds to realize that he was lying on Zhou Zekai's lap.

"Are you awake?" Zhou Zekai lowered his head and smiled.

"It's up to me to fall asleep again..." Sun Xiang struggled to get up, but the position he expected to reach was a cloud of air, and he almost fell down.Zhou Zekai has quick eyesight and quick hands to bring him back.

"Forget it, let's leave it at that." He turned over resignedly, discarded his shame, and continued to watch movies with his pillow on Zhou Zekai's knee.

At this time, the plot of the movie has come to an end. The male and female protagonists are kissing on the beach. The orange sunset, the blue sea, and the white sandy beach all become the background. The two figures almost blend together in the regular tide.

If Sun Xiang felt something, he turned his head.

Zhou Zekai's eyes fell on his face.

8.

It is certain that the gun will go off in the end.

The remote control has been squeezed out at some point.The sofa is spacious, but after all, it was not designed for this purpose, so it will inevitably be tight for two people.

Zhou Zekai pressed down on him, the smell of citrus body wash, weight, and the broken hair that reached his cheeks, all became accelerators that disrupted Sun Xiang's breathing.

His handsome face was flushed, and the dry feel of his ankle rubbing against his calf was so strange.Although it was unintentional, every time he rubbed, his heart beat a little faster, and finally it was so fast that it almost rushed out of his throat.

They reacted quickly, after getting hard, Sun Xiang thought that the most he could do was to help each other take a flight, and by the way admire each other's abdominal muscle lines to see if there was any change, but Zhou Zekai seemed to want to take responsibility in another way.

"Hmm..." Sun Xiang leaned back violently, his head hit the edge of the sofa, but he didn't have time to cry out the pain - the unimaginable stimulation made him unable to speak a complete sentence, let alone try to distract himself.

——Zhou Zekai didn't even say hello, he pulled his trousers, opened his mouth and swallowed the part that popped out.

After a while, Sun Xiang could only gasp for breath.The corners of his eyes were wet and red, and his hands were tightly grasping Zhou Zekai's hair, using his last rationality to restrain himself from hurting others.

Sun Xiang didn't want to recall how much time it took from gritting his teeth and enduring it to the final shameful confession.

After the white light passed, he relaxed and lay down like a salted fish, all his attention was on the scene after Zhou Zekai raised his head——

The tip of his tongue swept the edge of his lips, followed by his Adam's apple moved slowly.

There was a "boom" in Sun Xiang's head, and it exploded.Unbelievably red from face to neck.

Say you don't have to?He felt that Zhou Zekai didn't need this sentence.

"That thing, heck, it's also in the living room, and it's in—" Curiosity and anticipation are human nature.Even though he was very busy, it didn't prevent him from doing a little homework intermittently. Sun Xiang remembered clearly where the last step was and what necessities were needed, and he made some preparations.However, he is far from being so thick-skinned if he directly asks him to say a few nouns and a certain key invitation.

"I'm a little hungry." Zhou Zekai interrupted his hint, got up and took the paper box, dealt with it briefly, then picked up the wrinkled home clothes, and signaled Sun Xiang to put them on.

"What do you mean?" Sun Xiang froze in place, obviously not understanding the literal meaning.

"Make something to eat. I'm hungry." Zhou Zekai pulled him up and made a new request, "Go take a shower first."

Sun Xiang stared at Zhou Zekai quickly buttoning his shirt, heaved a sigh of relief but at the same time was extremely annoyed, he almost fainted and continued, "It's okay to eat me."

Luckily he didn't say it.

Staring at the back of Zhou Zekai leaving in a hurry, Sun Xiang covered his face with his arms, and lay back on the sofa.

Although the fresh air system is working, the residual smell will not be clear for a while.The blankets on the sofa, the cushions, and the crumpled home clothes, without exception, reminded him of the charming period just now.

"Beauty misleads people." While complaining that he was hopeless, he couldn't help feeling strongly confused—he had acquiesced to this point, why was Zhou Zekai hesitating?
