Blow

Xia Jue did not expect that the dispute would last so long.

The weather can't be said to be very hot, but as time passed, the bare skin of the three people under the shade began to reflect a shimmer due to sweat.

He secretly looked at Wen Xiao's face, and found that the other party was just indifferent, not impatient.

Xia Jue breathed a sigh of relief, but at the same time she was at a loss, furious at Xu Chengkai.

He couldn't figure it out, Xu Chengkai had already known about his so-called "special" hobbies, including his sexual orientation, and now their conflict would be so intense.On the contrary, Wen Xiao was able to get along with him more peacefully, and did not comment too much on his sexual orientation and attire.

After that, he still tried his best but failed to persuade Xu Chengkai. In the end, Xu Chengkai's cell phone rang, and he had to go to the construction site, so the quarrel between the two was interrupted.

Xu Chengkai left resentfully, turned quickly into a small path, and his back was immediately out of sight.

Xia Jue looked at the direction he left, feeling a bit guilty besides being tired and puzzled.

It suddenly occurred to him just now that some things may be known on one level, but they actually happened on another level.Xu Chengkai has always known that he likes the same sex, but this is the first time that he really proposed to pursue a boy.

Perhaps this is what caused the conflict between them.In any case, Xu Chengkai was doing it for his own good. They were almost like relatives, but relatives might not understand each other.

Xia Jue couldn't help but sighed.

Then he realized that now he and Wen Xiao were getting along one-on-one again.

And Wen Xiao had agreed to live with him just now.

Xia Jue cheered up quickly, and took the initiative to explain to Wen Xiao: "The man just now... His name is Xu Chengkai. He was my neighbor when I was young. I called him brother. He didn't get angry at you, but mainly because he didn't want me to dress up as a girl. Afraid that I would be bullied."

After speaking, he carefully observed Wen Xiao's reaction.In the process of arguing with Xu Chengkai before, there was a special sentence that he deliberately did not say in dialect. He was not sure if Wen Xiao heard it.

As a result, Wen Xiao didn't respond.

Xia Jue was a little disappointed, but it was just a little bit, he was still thinking about how to get along with Wen Xiao alone for a longer time.

It's neither early nor late, and I don't know if Wen Xiao has eaten.

"Do you have time now?" Xia Jue tried to speak again, "I'll take you to see the room right away, or we can have lunch together first."

As soon as he finished speaking, he noticed that Wen Xiao's eyes suddenly became cautious.

Xia Jue tilted his head - he would do this subconsciously when he was in doubt.Obviously facing the enraged Xu Chengkai before, Wen Xiao didn't show any nervousness at all, but now Xia Jue just sent out an invitation.

"Let's go." However, Wen Xiao's tone was still calm, just as if he didn't want to say a word, for fear of revealing some secret.

Xia Jue then followed him, not knowing whether the other party wanted to go directly to the room or to eat.

After walking for less than 10 minutes, the two stopped at the entrance of a fish restaurant.

Wen Xiao asked, "Can I eat it?"

Xia Jue nodded.

There was no business in the store. They sat down in a four-seater by the window, ordered food one by one, and waited silently.Xia Jue guessed that Wen Xiao's mood should not be very good, which is normal, after all, he and Xu Chengkai were delayed for so long for no reason.

In fact, Wen Xiao's mood is nothing special, he is often in this state: cold, silent.If he is really in a bad mood, he will display a gloomy look that is extremely intriguing.

The two were surprisingly quiet. The clerk came over to build an iron frame, lit solid alcohol, and couldn't help but glanced at each of them. When he saw Xia Jue, he seemed to have sensed something, and stopped in a daze.

Xia Jue lowered her eyes, as if avoiding it.

Suddenly Wen Xiao asked, "What are you looking at?"

He has a sharp appearance, neat hair, and two strong arms exposed outside his short sleeves. When his face is cold, he has a deterrent force that does not match his age.

The clerk turned around wisely and walked away to serve the dishes.

The main course arrived, grilled herring.

Wen Xiao lifted the chopsticks first, but paused in mid-air, looking at Xia Jue.So instead, Xia Jue clamped a section of the fish's tail first, and then Wen Xiao habitually extended his chopsticks towards the lower part of the fish's face.

"Which piece do you want to eat?" He suddenly asked Xia Jue.

Xia Jue was sucking the juice from the fish's tail, when she heard this, she raised her head in doubt.

Wen Xiao repeated: "Fish, which piece do you eat?"

Xia Jue heard it clearly, and said hesitantly, "Fish... belly?" His tone seemed to be testing.

Wen Xiao didn't understand why his temptation started, and with a chopstick in his hand, he pinched away a small piece of meat near the fish's face.

Xia Jue let out an "ah" in her heart, and suddenly understood: Wen Xiao actually wanted to ask him if he likes to eat fish face. He heard someone say that there was a piece of "precious" crescent moon meat there.

Then if he said he loves to eat, will Wen Xiao give it to him?Whether it's a fish belly or a fish face.

Xia Jue thought so in his heart, and unconsciously asked.

Wen Xiao frowned: "I only said it because I pinched you?...Do you want it?"

Xia Jue quickly said, "No need."

Wen Xiao snorted coldly at his repetition, stuffed the small piece of fish into his mouth, and chewed.

It's also strange that Xia Jue actually felt a hint of sweetness from the other party's actions, and couldn't help but smile.

After eating and drinking, the table was full of mess, Wen Xiao got up and went to the counter to pay the bill.

Xia Jue stopped him: "I invite you."

Wen Xiao glanced at him: "I'm the one who hired you. No matter what, I should thank you for renting the house to me at this price."

Wen Xiao paid the bill with WeChat wallet.

Suddenly, the boss let out a "hey" and said, "I'm sorry, I added 20 yuan to you." He said and handed over four oil-soaked five-yuan banknotes.

Wen Xiao took it, and felt that his hands were full of grease as soon as he took it, and it was impossible to put it in his pocket, so he had to wrap it with a piece of paper from the store and squeeze it.

When the two went out, Wen Xiao bought two cans of Coke at a small supermarket along the way and spent one.

It is his habit to bring a bottle to his friends when he buys a drink.

After paying the money, Wen Xiao came out, saw Xia Jue who was waiting outside with his head bowed, and his feet stopped suddenly.

He seemed to remember something, turned around, and walked back to the supermarket.

The boss fiddled with his phone and glanced at him.

Wen Xiao stood for a while, then asked, "Do you have—a mask?"

The boss imitated his emphasis: "Masks—yes. Go inside."

There are not many rows of shelves in total, but the things are piled up in a mess. It took Wen Xiao a lot of effort to find the masks the boss said. They were not disposable and packed into a big bag as he thought, but cotton cloth, printed with various masks. Childish pattern of cartoon animals.

The price was 15 yuan, just enough to use up all the remaining banknotes.

Wen Xiao wiped his hands and picked and picked. Elephants, rabbits and little yellow ducks all felt too stupid and rustic. In the end, he reluctantly chose a beige model that didn't know whether it was a fox or a dog. Not printed obliquely.

He paid and went out again.Xia Jue was still obediently waiting for him at the same place, with a long skirt and long hair, and a gentle and quiet appearance. From a distance, it was completely fake.

Wen Xiao walked over and handed him the Coke and the mask together.

Xia Jue was very happy when he took the Coke, but when he saw the mask, he couldn't help showing a blank expression on his face.

Wen Xiao said: "If you are dressed like this, if you are afraid of being seen by others, then wear it. No one will recognize you."

He alluded to the fact that the fish restaurant waiter stared at Xia Jue, but Xia Jue avoided it.

Xia Jue was startled when she heard the words, her hand stretched out to pick up the things flinched, she bit her lip, her eyes dimmed.

It's a bit like when Wen Xiao rejected him in the bathroom that day.

It's strange that at their age, no matter boys or girls, they are more inclined to hide their thoughts, but Xia Jue always seems to show his emotions clearly.

It's not that there are people who are similar to him, but some people seem exaggerated like this, but Xia Jue is always very real.

Especially this time, Xia Jue said softly: "I'm not afraid." Obviously wronged, resentful, and unwilling.

"If you weren't afraid, you would have spoken just now." Wen Xiao didn't quite believe it, and subconsciously asked, "Why didn't you dare?"

Unexpectedly, Xia Jue looked puzzled.

He asked suspiciously, "What just now?"

"The waiter—" Wen Xiao said halfway, then suddenly stopped.He realized that there was a possibility that Xia Jue might not have paid attention to the eyes of others at all.

As for the state of drooping eyelashes, it might just be in a trance.

Wen Xiao looked at Xia Jue suddenly with complex eyes, and felt a little uncomfortable because of his recklessness and offending others.

Xia Jue was still trying to explain: "I really—"

"I see," Wen Xiao interrupted him, crumpled the mask together with the packaging, and stuffed it into the pocket of his jeans, "I misunderstood."

Xia Jue let out a soft "Oh".

Wen Xiao looked at him, was silent for a while, and then said, "I'm sorry."

Apologizing will inevitably make people feel bad.Wen Xiao was a little irritable, but he had never been the kind of person who would not apologize because of his face.Besides, he felt that Xia Jue should be very sensitive to what he said just now, and could be easily hurt.

Xia Jue didn't answer for a long while.

He watched Wen Xiao's eyes widen slightly, as if he had encountered something unbelievable.

After being stared at for a long time, Wen Xiao felt uncomfortable and asked, "When are you going to take me to see the house?"

As soon as he opened his mouth, Xia Jue seemed to come back to his senses, and immediately said: "Now! Go now."

But after finishing speaking, he refused to move, not knowing why he was hesitating, and looked at Wen Xiao from time to time.

"Anything else?" Wen Xiao then asked.

Xia Jue blinked, then suddenly smiled, and said, "There should be no reason to take back a gift."

Gift?Wen Xiao was slightly taken aback.

"You mean this?" He reached into his pocket and took out the crumpled mask.

Xia Jue nodded: "I still want it, is that okay?"

Wen Xiao felt terrible when he saw the crumpled mask with crooked nose and squinted eyes.He frowned and said, "Forget it."

However, Xia Jue insisted.

"Then it's up to you." Wen Xiao shook it, trying to make the thing as flat as possible, and handed it to him.
