Followed

16.

The sky was getting dark, and the chandelier overhead cast warm light, reflecting the slightly ambiguous posture of the two on the large floor-to-ceiling windows.

They were too close, even though Bie Xu touched his chin and sealed his lips with one finger, there was still a little hot air spraying on Wen Er's eyes while speaking, causing his eyelashes to tremble.

Wen Er froze for a long while, struggling lightly in embarrassment, and then Bie Xu let go of the hand that had been holding him, and pulled back the wrinkled pajamas by the way.

Bie Xu's eyes fell on Wen Er's waist uncontrollably.

It is true that there are no eight-pack abs, but the smooth and smooth lines must have been practiced.As soon as Bie Xu's thoughts drifted away, the movements of his hands slowed down, pinching the corner of Wen Er's clothes and slowly moving it down, taking advantage of the opportunity.

Wen Er's waist went numb, and he hurriedly took a step back. The pajamas were still held in Bie Xu's hands, and then the fluffy corners of the clothes flew up.

He nearly fell back into the beanbag again, but he swayed back and forth and finally steadied himself.

Bie Xu watched a small waistline flash past his eyes, and then hid it submissively in his pajamas, hummed in a sense of loss, and reluctantly rubbed the fingers that brushed the corner of Wen Er's lips.

A series of actions took place in the blink of an eye, from Bie Xu stretching out his hand to Wen Er finally standing still, for some reason, a few simple actions were performed by them in an unusual way.

Bie Xu had a calm demeanor, as if he didn't notice anything wrong, he took the book out of Wen Er's palm, flipped through it quickly, and then put it on the table casually.

Somewhat unexpectedly, Wen Er was really reading Jing Min's book obediently.

Seeing Bie Xu's calm appearance, Wen Er couldn't help suspecting that he was too sensitive.

In order to cover up his gaffe, he spoke hastily, trying to change the subject.

"Wen Ya recommended this book to me many times, but I haven't read it yet."

"what do you think?"

"Very good." Wen Er replied hastily, and felt that such an evaluation was a bit perfunctory. After thinking about it, he opened his mouth and exaggerated a small essay, "This author's style is particularly distinctive, especially the description of the environment. The pen can render the corresponding atmosphere, and the strong emotions are hidden between the lines. It seems to be an effortless description, but it is easy for readers to empathize..."

Bie Xu had no choice but to interrupt him: "You don't need to boast to me."

"I really like him." Wen Er said firmly, looking back at Bie Xu confidently, and it didn't take long before he added, "And I think the author's style is a bit like... You Youfang."

Bie Xu was stunned, Wen Er was a little embarrassed, and defended himself in a low voice: "I'm not talking about plagiarism or borrowing or something, it's just my personal feeling that their words and sentences in certain places are a bit similar, especially in the description of scenery..."

He glanced at Bie Xu's expression, and apologized softly: "I'm really sorry if I offended your favorite Da Da."

It's hard for Bie Xu to describe his current mood. He didn't hear much of what Wen Er said afterwards, and he was still shocked when Wen Er discovered the connection between Jingmin and You Youfang.

He struggled for a long time between whether to say or not to say, and finally decided to wait for a suitable time in the future before confessing his identity.

Wen Er was still looking at him anxiously, Bie Xu sorted out his thoughts, and finally came back to his senses.

"What are you doing apologizing to me? I also think their styles are quite similar."

"Really?" Wen Er couldn't believe it, "I thought I was the only one who felt this way!"

Bie Xu thought to himself, didn't he?I've never heard anyone connect the two before.

The vest couldn't cover it anymore, Bie Xu selectively ignored Wen Er's fiery eyes, and his desire to continue the chat, and focused on another topic.

"Why are you so good at boasting? After reading the book, you have to do a literature review."

Wen Er was a little shy: "My university major is in this area, and I can't help it when I see a book I like."

"Oh?" Bie Xu seldom heard him talk about his past, so he couldn't help asking, "Where did you study in university?"

"It's not a key university, just an ordinary one, not too far from my home."

Wen Er reported the name of the school. It is indeed not well-known, but it is not unheard of.

"It's not a bad university, and it's not as unknown as you said."

Wen Er smiled and did not refute.

"I'm going to the beach tomorrow, I'm going to pack my luggage."

"Okay." Wen Er nodded, remembering to ask, "Have you eaten yet?"

"not yet, what about you?"

"Me neither, I've been waiting for you to come back."

Bie Xu's throat twitched, and he glanced sideways at him, meeting Wen Er's soft eyes.

Await your return.

These four words were easy to say, but they weighed more than a thousand catties when they fell into his heart.

Bie Xu seldom experiences waiting, but has a lot of experience in parting. He has heard all kinds of "goodbye", but no one has ever said to him, wait for you, come back.

Wen Er didn't know what kind of waves his words caused. Seeing that Bie Xu didn't respond for a long time, he could only continue to ask: "What do you want to eat tonight?"

"Anything is fine." Bie Xu raised the corner of his mouth, "I won't pick anything you do."

Wen Er knew that it was useless to ask him, and Bie Xu's answer every time was "whatever."

I'm leaving tomorrow, so making too much dinner is a waste.

Wen Er brought out the leftover tofu soup from yesterday and heated it up, sprinkled noodles in it, added a few chopped green onions, and the aroma was overflowing.

Bie Xu came out after busying himself in the room for a while, just in time for dinner.He habitually praised first, then pulled out his chair and sat down, and the two of them immersed themselves in eating hard.

After eating a bowl of noodles and drinking every drop of the soup, Bie Xu slumped on the chair comfortably, and heard Wen Er's rare initiative to speak: "I haven't been to the seaside yet."

"Then it will be fun tomorrow!" Bie Xu glanced at Wen Er's face full of longing, and the scene of him spreading his feet and running on the beach couldn't help but appear in his mind.

He squinted his eyes and suddenly asked, "Can you swim?"

Wen Er was taken aback for a moment, then his eyes widened, "No!"

"It's okay, I can teach you." Seeing that Wen Er was relieved and thought of something, Bie Xu raised his eyebrows again, "Remember to remind me to bring you a swimming ring."

Wen Er nodded solemnly.The next day, he belatedly understood what regret is.

Wenle couldn't swim and didn't wear swimming trunks.This is easy to solve. Boys are not as troublesome as girls. You can just buy a pair at a scenic spot and wear them casually.

When his eyes turned to the swimming ring next to him, Bie Xu led him back in time, and dug out the things he had prepared in the trunk.

"We brought the swimming ring, so there is no need to waste money."

Wen Er has no objection, he is used to being frugal, and naturally he will not spend more if he can save.

Bie Xu smiled cryptically, took out a plastic product that was folded into a ball, unfolded it and handed it to Wen Er.

Wen Er took it and looked at it. Although it was still wrinkled, the bright lemon yellow was instantly conspicuous.

Bie Xu folded his arms and looked at him with a smile, beckoning him to breathe.

A bad premonition suddenly rose in Wen Er's heart. He hesitated for a moment, found the vent, puffed up his cheeks and blew hard.

Halfway through blowing, Wen Er gradually judged what the thing in his hand was like.As soon as he let go, Bie Xu yelled maliciously beside him: "Hey - don't stop, it's almost over."

Wen Er's lung capacity was insufficient, his face flushed a little, and he almost became a match.Hearing Bie Xu's words, she strenuously crossed the gradually bulging swimming circle, and gave him a sideways look resentfully.

Bie Xu laughed loudly: "The little yellow duck is very suitable for you, very cute!"

He reached out to pat the duck's head standing up in front of him, ignoring Wen Er's aggrieved and embarrassed eyes.

This swimming ring is really cute, with a round head, a short tail, and fluttering little wings on both sides. It looks very naive and looks much better than ordinary crude swimming rings.

At least Wen Er walked all the way across the beach, and has already attracted the attention of many children.

Wen Er could still hold it when he was walking, but when he really wanted to go into the water, he had to get in with his whole body, holding the little yellow duck's small wings with his hands, and tentatively stretched out his feet to step on the waves.

Not far away, there was a child who seemed to be five or six years old, half submerged in the water, wearing a light blue swimming ring, and kept looking towards them.

While Wen Er was standing on the shore to test, the child somehow swam to the side of the two of them, pointed at Wen Er's little yellow duck, and shouted back excitedly: "Dad, this brother's swimming ring is better than mine!"

The child's parents followed behind and smiled apologetically at the two of them.Only then did Bie Xu realize that "uncle" was referring to him, and his face turned dark all of a sudden.

Wen Erben was still a little embarrassed, and when he turned his head to see Bie Xu's expression, he also thought it was a little funny.

He reciprocated: "Your little whale is also very beautiful."

The child curled his lips in disgust: "This is a dolphin!"

Wen Er was blocked and had nothing to say, so he could only forcefully smile.

Thankfully, the child looked around Wen Er twice, and was finally taken away by the adults, Tuliu Biexu and Wen Er looked at each other in blank dismay.

"Where did you get this?" Wen Er asked complainingly, fiddling with the swimming ring awkwardly.

Bie Xu thought carefully about it seriously: "It seems... to buy milk for delivery?"

"milk?"

"Yes," Bie Xu missed two laughs, "Children's growth milk."

Wen Er stared at him for a while in disbelief, then quickly lowered his head and looked carefully at the swimming ring he was wearing.

He scanned the entire beach, and among a bunch of little dolphins, turtles and mermaids, his little yellow duck did not violate the harmony.

Bie Xu laughed for a long time, and finally returned to the topic.

"Actually, when learning to swim, you don't need a swimming ring to learn quickly."

Wen Er pursed his lips, he understood the truth, but as a landlubber who had never been in contact with water, he was really a little scared.

"It's okay, you can put on the swimming ring and go into the water to feel it first." Bie Xu became understanding again at this time.

Wen Er nodded, mustered up the courage to take a few steps forward, and retreated in a hurry when the sea water reached the calf.

Bie Xu followed closely behind him, and caught him with his arms around him.

Both of them were wearing only a pair of swimming trunks, standing on the beach without noticing people coming and going, and only realizing that the other was half naked at this time when their skins were stuck together.

Wen Er's back was a little chilled by the sea breeze, and it suddenly touched Bie Xu's hot chest, making him shiver.

Bie Xu pushed him out with a little force, forcing him to move forward.Wen Er was still hesitating, when a hoarse voice fell behind his ears: "Go forward, don't be afraid."
