Comparable species

The small piece of skin held by Xia Shishen seemed to be burning hot, the heat was like invisible vines, choking the air and his pulse from bottom to top.

The man looked at him with his eyelids raised, the tip of his eyes slightly raised, and his somewhat bewildered face was in the dark pupils.

"...It's too late." Qi Yan put his hands on his lap neatly, and his voice was very soft.

Xia Shishen pressed the phone screen, glanced at the time on it, and said blankly, it's not too late.

The warm wind was blowing from all directions, Qi Yan didn't speak, Xia Shishen still maintained a half-squat position, his warm fingertips pressed against his ankles.

For some reason, Qi Yan saw an inexplicable persistence in Xia Shishen's eyes, an undisguised persistence.

"Okay." Qi Yan nodded, "I'll go and have a look."

Xia Shi lowered his eyes and murmured, he let go of his hand, stood up slowly, and put the hand that touched Qi Yan's ankle just now into his trouser pocket.He watched Qi Yan jump off the stone lion, the corners of his clothes were blown up by the wind, revealing his slender waist.

Xia Shishen retracted his gaze, he turned around and walked towards the stairs, unconsciously rubbed his fingers in his pockets, clenched into fists, and then slowly released them.

Naturally, his room was not a temporary dormitory. Qi Yan followed Xia Shishen, stopped on the third floor, walked through a long corridor, and finally stopped at a door at the corner.

Xia Shishen turned the handle, pushed gently, and opened the door.

Qi Yan originally wanted to remind him to remember to lock the door casually in the future, but when he walked in, Qi Yan pursed his lips and did not speak.There was nothing to lock up in Xia Shishen's room, just a white wooden table with a few packs of cigarettes scattered on it.Next to it was a leather armchair with a blanket draped over the arm.

And the 1.8-meter bed that Xia Shishen mentioned was placed in the corner. The white sheets were flat and snug without any wrinkles. It looked like a hospital bed in a single room.

"Are you bunk beds?" Xia Shishen turned around and asked.

Qi Yan nodded, standing in the slightly empty room seemed a little at a loss, probably seeing Qi Yan's uneasiness, Xia Shi paused for a few seconds, walked towards him from the bathroom door, raised his finger to the bed, "If you want to lie down, I don't mind."

"No need to……."

"If you don't lie down, how can you lie to your grandma when you go back?" The word "lie" sounded harsh, Qi Yan raised his eyes, Xia Shishen was looking down at him, his thick black eyelashes trembling slightly.

As if he was afraid that Qi Yan would not lie down on it and try it out, Xia Shishen continued in a steady tone: "You may not have many chances to lie on a bed with this price in your life."

Xia Shishen's words were so straightforward that Qi Yan suddenly felt that he looked like a salesman who had failed in training.

After a few minutes, Qi Yan went to the bed and sat down, took off the slippers on his feet, and got on the bed.He sat up on the bed, and symbolically stretched out his hands to press the mattress twice, then raised his head and nodded towards Xia Shishen who was standing aside, and said, "It's very soft."

Xia Shishen raised his chin and raised his chin, looking smug.For some reason, Qi Yan suddenly thought of the children in the kindergarten who couldn't sleep because they were so excited because they received a small red flower before school.

"You can lie down."

The very unsuccessful salesman then gave orders to tell him how to use a bed.

Qi Yan pursed his lips and sighed secretly.

He moved his body down, relaxed his arms by his side, and lay down on the bed.As if trapped in cotton, his limbs and body were surrounded by softness. Qi Yan looked at Xia Shishen who had been staring at him without moving, and suddenly felt that this scene was a bit weird.

"This is the most expensive bed in the entire show."

"The program was recorded for 40 days, and it was divided equally according to the number of days. You will pay me about 100 yuan for lying down."

Obviously he insisted on letting people lie down, and now he wanted to count money with others, Qi Yan pursed his lips and turned his head, muttering twice in a low voice.

Most of the light in front of him was covered by the shadow cast, Qi Yan turned his head, and Xia Shishen, who was standing still, suddenly came up to him for some reason.He put his hands on the side of the bed, blinked his thick and long eyelashes twice slowly, and then asked in a hoarse voice, "I didn't hear what you just said."

Qi Yan's body moved slightly, he wanted to step back, but his body seemed to be stuck in the bed and he couldn't get out.

"What's it like to have a mole here?" Xia Shishen said suddenly.

Qi Yan reacted for a while, only to realize that Xia Shishen was asking about the little mole between his eyebrows.He raised his hand to touch his eyebrows. The mole was actually so small that he couldn't feel it with his hands. Even if he didn't look carefully, he couldn't find it at all.

Xia Shishen always asked such endless questions, Qi Yan laughed, and said softly, "I don't feel anything."

Xia Shishen didn't speak, after a while, he stretched out his hand and pulled Qi Yan's hand from his eyebrows.

"It is recommended to cover it with hair." Xia Shishen's eyes moved away from Qi Yan's eyebrows, he looked at Qi Yan, and said slowly: "This mole is not particularly beautiful."

Qi Yan said dryly, he pushed away Xia Shishen who was standing in front of him, lowered his head while putting on his slippers and said, "It's too late, I'm going back."

Xia Shi took a step back without a trace, watching Qi Yan walk to the door anxiously, opened the door, and then disappeared in front of the door without looking back.

Qi Yan only stayed for a while, and it was expected that he would leave. Logically speaking, he shouldn't feel at a loss.But Xia Shishen had to admit that when Qi Yan followed him, he was happier than he imagined.

Xia Shishen stood at the door and turned around, looking at this shabby-looking room for the first time.It was arranged according to his habits, a table and a big bed.Because the schedule is too full, he will not stay in any place for more than three months. Too many things are cumbersome for him.

Xia Shi looked deeply at the bed, because Qi Yan had just lay down on it, and there were tiny wrinkles on the originally flat sheet.Circle after circle, like ripples on a quiet lake.

Xia Shishen walked to the table, knocked out a cigarette from the cigarette case and put it in his mouth.Xia Shishen felt frustrated for no reason. He hadn't found the reason yet, but partly, he felt it was because of Qi Yan.

The light and brief sound of pushing the door interrupted Xia Shishen's thoughts. He bit his cigarette and turned around. The door was opened a crack, and the person who had just left reappeared at the door.

The hand hanging by his side clutched the hem of his trousers in embarrassment, the orange light from outside the door slid through the tip of his hair, he seemed to muster up his courage, raised his head and smiled at him with his eyes bent.

"The door of the dormitory is locked, the roommate should be asleep, and no one answered when I knocked on the door..."

"Then it seems like it's going to rain outside..."

Qi Yan pursed his lips, and his limp eyelashes trembled several times before he said, "Can I stay with you for a night?"

Xia Shishen put down his hand holding the lighter, and after a while, he turned around again, turned his back to Qi Yan, and said in a calm tone: Whatever you want.

The time for taking a deep bath in summer time today was 7 minutes longer than usual, and the water temperature used was a bit cooler than usual.

He stood shirtless in front of the bathroom mirror, comparing two round neck T-shirts in front of him with a cold expression, one was black and the other was dark gray.In private, he was used to being lazy, and he never paid much attention to dressing at work, so for a while, he couldn't tell whether he looked better in black or gray.

Four minutes later, Xia Shishen opened the bathroom door in a black t-shirt. Qi Yan was still awake, sitting cross-legged on the sofa with his back on his back.

As if startled by his sudden appearance, Qi Yan put his legs down in a panic and stood up barefoot.He held a transparent glass in his hand, with white steam rising from above.

"I see honey yuzu sauce on the table..."

"Yeah." Xia Shishen walked over, the sweet and greasy grapefruit smell diffused in the air, he glanced at Qi Yan, the boy's mouth was still stained with water, glistening.

"Thank you." Xia Shishen nodded very calmly, and reached out to him.

Qi Yan felt that his cheeks were hot, and he shrank back the hand holding the cup in embarrassment, "I'll make you another cup, this cup I..."

The weight in his hand was taken over, Xia Shishen held the cup and lowered his head to take a sip, it was a little hot.

He bypassed Qi Yan who was standing, sat on the sofa, took another sip, then raised his eyes and said to him, "I just want to drink this cup."

Too lazy to fix it! (Do you think anything will happen to the 1.8-meter bed? Good idea.)
