Sugar

Zhao Qingling himself knew Cheng Che's feelings for him for the first time when he was 28 years old.

At a high school classmate's wedding.

Zhao Qingling went abroad after graduating from high school. After studying in the United States for six years, he went to school for two years and returned to China at the age of 26.

After such a long time and distance, the intersection with old classmates has almost disappeared.

After returning to China, he has been busy in big cities, and only returned to his hometown to accompany his mother during the holidays.

Fortunately, on the first day of the new year that year, he accompanied his mother to the temple to burn incense, and happened to meet a few high school classmates who had been called brothers and sisters before.

Afterwards, everyone would occasionally meet up for a drink and catch up.

In the city where Zhao Qingling was born and raised, young people generally get married early.

Most of the male high school students back then were married and had children. Even the once unreliable little bully in the East District, who had sparks and lightning all the way, now took off his earrings and became a bitter super milk under the torment of life. dad.

While drinking and chatting together, only Zhao Qingling and another boy at the table couldn't find a partner.

Therefore, they are often put together as a "single dog" joke.

But not long after, the boy and the girl on the blind date settled down in love at first sight, and Zhao Qingling just received that fateful wedding invitation that changed his life.

On the day of the wedding, there were four tables of "groom's classmates".

The appearance of Zhao Qingling made the four tables excited, and the treatment was the same as before.

During the reminiscence, Zhao Qingling became addicted to cigarettes.

While going to the bathroom to light a cigarette, two half-drunk male students who didn't know each other very well came in.

"Oh, I drank too much~"

"Pull it down, you only have a few bottles! How many bottles do you think Miss Xue drank? Just take the wine dispenser and get stuffy!"

"Sister Xue is Biao, the eldest sister of the Eastern District was not for nothing, okay! Obviously the children are not young, and they are so active when they see the male god coming."

"But to be honest, when I was in high school, I really didn't think Brother Ling was a 'male god'. Now I am convinced. Look at my beer belly, and look at his figure!"

"Oh, you are happy and fat after marriage. But I didn't expect~ We are all married, and Zhao Qingling is dragged on until now and no one wants it?"

"Don't don't don't! What do you mean no one wants it? The singleness of rich people is completely different from our singleness, okay! That's called picking! Ordinary people can't afford it, well, if he wants to, Can it be someone else's turn to disagree?"

"makes sense."

"Hey, speaking of it, did you just see... that damn gay staring at Brother Ling?"

"Hahaha, Cheng Che, of course I saw it! Tsk tsk tsk~ I can't stand it, it's been almost ten years since we graduated, and we still have the same eyes as back then, how much love is there and how can't we forget Zhao Qingling? It's disgusting, It's scary!"

"Damn, has it been ten years? What you said is really true! Wow, Brother Ling probably doesn't know about this, do you want to hint and remind him? In case he is followed after the end, tsk tsk, turn around Let’s talk about legal news..."

In the cubicle, Zhao Qingling frowned, almost scalding himself with the smoke flickering from his mouth.

who?What the hell?

So what are the two out-of-stock people who drank too much talking about?

Who is dead gay?Who had a crush on him for ten years?

...Cheng Che?

Since Zhao Qingling graduated from high school, he hardly thought of Cheng Che.

But after all, the relationship in high school was reasonable, and it was suddenly mentioned after many years, so it is not impossible to completely forget it.

That Cheng Che actually likes men?

Still have a crush on him?

And had a crush on him in high school?Are you still in love? ? ?

real or fake?

Why do you listen to those two people? This matter is known to everyone, and he is the only one in the whole world who doesn't know it?

Zhao Qingling was confused and confused.

At the same time, curiosity arose.

After coming out of the bathroom after smoking, he started to circle around the wedding banquet hall looking for that "Cheng Che".

After all, there were only those four tables for the "groom classmate", and he found the person he was looking for at a glance.

……

Cheng Che's appearance has not changed much from back then.

Under the black-rimmed glasses, there was still a straight, quiet, overly serious face.

It's a pity that it is sitting, and the legs are not visible.

Zhao Qingling didn't know why, but he clearly remembered that Cheng Che had a good figure and a pair of long legs.

Hey, actually, this Cheng Che is obviously a little handsome.

If you dress up well, it might be amazing—but I don't know why, this person is inexplicably inconspicuous every time he mixes in the crowd, without the slightest sense of presence.

Reunited more than ten years later, at first glance, Cheng Che is still unremarkable.

Even Zhao Qingling, who was sitting at the table next to him just now, even went to their table to toast once, but he failed to discover his existence in the crowd.

Finally, at this moment, the low-key man with black-rimmed glasses returned to the center of Zhao Qingling's sight after many years.

Zhao Qingling walked straight towards him.

"Xiao Cheng, long time no see."

With just that one sentence, Cheng Che was in a bad mood.

He was chewing something in his mouth, but he stopped chewing.

As if the whole person was petrified, he looked up at Zhao Qingling with great difficulty and slowly.

Just staring blankly, as if unable to move due to petrification magic, it was so stiff for a while.

It was easy to come back to his senses, but he immediately looked away in a panic, and dropped the chopsticks in a panic.

Typical overreaction, terribly overreacted.

A few people at the next table were poking their heads and waiting to see the show, and they were already covering their mouths and laughing unkindly.

Zhao Qingling didn't think it was funny.

Because, in his slightly neurotic perception, this kind of reaction is not called "funny".

This kind of reaction is called "dumbness".

It's really cute, reminding him of the silly roe deer raised by his grandma in Northeast China when he was a child.

Can be stupid, but also alert.With a call from a long distance, the roe deer will immediately stand up nervously with its ears pricked up, and stand there stiffly and stupidly.

After many years, he looked at Cheng Che like this.

Suddenly, inexplicably, I felt a little... reluctant to go back to my seat.

……

Since he was reluctant to leave, Zhao Qingling simply stayed at the table.

Anyway, with his personal charm, it is easy and natural to move to a nearby seat to squeeze in and mingle with everyone.

As soon as it was on the table, there was a round of enthusiastic toasting——

Zhao Qingling's nickname is outside, and it was really good to be popular in high school.What's more, everyone here knows that Mr. Zhao is still the son of the CEO of a listed company. With the blessing of the halo, it makes him love flowers even more.

In the end, Cheng Che was the only one at the table who didn't take the initiative to propose a toast to him.

Not to mention toasting, that Cheng Che was sitting beside him very stiffly the whole time.

The only thing I did during this period was to lower my head and sip water nervously from time to time, without even making a sound.

I didn't even look up here to take a look, as if I didn't take a look.

Zhao Qingling: "..."

"Cheng Che, we haven't seen each other for a long time, let's have a drink together?"

The wine glass touched lightly and made a ding.

Zhao Qingling didn't drink because he was going to drive later, so he took a sip of the juice in the glass and settled down.The color of Cheng Che's cup should also be orange juice, but after saying "Cheers", he stupidly took a sip.

After being bored, he sat down and continued to say nothing, and still didn't raise his head much.

Zhao Qingling: "..."

Very introverted.

This person...is he so innocuous?He doesn't even know how to exchange pleasantries, no wonder he doesn't have a sense of presence all year round.

If this was the usual situation, Zhao Qingling would probably not take the initiative to talk to him again in the face of such a boring and immovable person.

so!

If he hadn't heard those words in the bathroom just now, what would he have missed today? !

[But then again, I didn't expect that gay guy to come today.We didn't know him very well in high school, did we?Why would Dalong invite him to get married? 】

【Hahaha, you don't know that—others don't need to invite him, but Cheng Che must. Don't you know that he is being taken advantage of?I heard that because he wanted to see Zhao Qingling, he went to the weddings of all his high school classmates!Later, it spread in private, and everyone invited him to get married, you think~ he is gay, earning a fortune for nothing and not paying it back, what a bargain! 】

[I rely on it!If I had known this earlier, I would have invited him when I got married! 】

[Put it down, when you got married, Zhao Qingling was still in the United States and hadn't come back yet. 】

[What's the matter, didn't Zhao Qingling come back when other people got married? Today is Brother Ling's first appearance in so many years, right?Haha, that damn gay is probably going crazy today, after watching so many shows and paying so much 'membership fees', he finally made him squat when he was blinded by a blind cat and a dead mouse! 】

[I guess there must be a good show to watch later, won't you burst into tears on the spot and confess your love enthusiastically? 】

[Cut, he is so cowardly, how dare he? 】

【Even if he dares, how can Zhao Qingling like him?Hahaha……】

fuck...

When he was in the bathroom just now, Zhao Qingling didn't think there was anything wrong with the conversation.

Looking back now, it was really too much!

After many years, he was no longer able to tell who those two idle and boring people were just by their voices.

However, this does not prevent the eyes of many bored busybodies around him from staring at his table at this moment.

Some shook their heads and sighed with sympathy, as if they were deeply mourning that this silly sheep who had no experience in the world was unknowingly sitting next to the dangerous and stubborn stalker.

More are gearing up, holding their breath, and waiting excitedly to see the start of the big confession drama.

"..." Who are they? Zhao Qingling narrowed his eyes slightly, feeling annoyed.

Fine.

Since you want to watch a play, let them watch it to their satisfaction, okay?

With that in mind, he leaned sideways towards Cheng Che.
