Comparable species

The rain was getting heavier and heavier, because the drainage system in the residential area was too old. It didn't take long for the rainwater to accumulate, and the water mixed with dead leaves and branches flowed down the slope.

Xia Shishen blocked the entrance of the building, and the raindrops slanted by the wind hit him, looking a little embarrassed.

"Things are almost done. Although it took a long time, it went smoothly." Xia Shishen pushed Qi Yan's hat back, revealing Qi Yan's beautiful eyebrows.

"so."

"When are you going to move in with me?"

Qi Yan was stunned for a moment, then he raised his head and said, "I thought you were leaving."

"where to?"

"I don't know." Qi Yan still maintained the posture just now, he looked at Xia Shishen's eyelashes, and his voice was vague: "But you should go to a place far, far away from me."

After a while, Xia Shishen stretched out his hand to hook his fingers, his fingertips ran across his knuckles, the back of his hand, and finally stopped on Qi Yan's thin wrist.Xia Shishen pulled Qi Yan into his arms, his chin touched his forehead, his temperature was very low.

"Not going."

Qi Yan's nose suddenly became sore. His head was buried in Xia Shishen's chest, he blinked vigorously, and shed a few tears.But it soon turned into water stains on the clothes, mixed in the rain, and nothing could be seen.

Qi Yan lowered his head, the small bone on the back of his neck was so obvious that Xia Shishen couldn't help reaching out to touch it.

"Crying?" Xia Shishen asked him aloud.

Qi Yan's hand holding Xia Shishen's clothes tightened for a moment, and then slowly let go, he hummed.

Xia Shishen didn't speak for a long time, he just stroked the back of Qi Yan's neck again and again, until that small piece of skin seemed to start to feel hot.

"Stop crying." Xia Shishen's voice was so soft that it would be drowned by the rain at any moment, but Qi Yan could still tell that it was Xia Shishen coaxing him.

Qi Yan felt that he couldn't be coaxed so quickly, he struggled to jump out of Xia Shishen's arms, raised his head sullenly, and met Shang Xia Shishen's eyes.

The fox ears on Xia Shishen's head turned sideways at some point, and the fluff on the tip of the ears was wet, which looked a little funny.

Qi Yan looked at him for a few seconds, then reached out to touch Xia Shishen's head, Xia Shishen was taken aback for a moment, then bent over.

The fox's ears were wet from the rain, and the touch was not as soft as it was the first time. Qi Yan took the headdress in his hand.

"This thing looks so stupid when you wear it on your head." Qi Yan sniffed.

Xia Shishen rarely denied it. He nodded and said, "I'll buy another one next time."

"Then buy the old man's glasses that were particularly ugly last time."

The rain outside stopped, Xia Shi bent deeply, reached out to touch Qi Yan's reddened eyes, and brushed his wet eyelashes with his fingers.

Xia Shishen nodded and said yes.

Qi Yan planned to take Xia Shishen home first.

Xia Shishen agreed with this proposal. He turned around, held the fruit in one hand, and put the other hand behind his back, and hooked Qi Yan.

Qi Yan walked over and took his hand.

There were puddles of different sizes on the road, and the water was not too bright. Xia Shishen and Qi Yan changed places, leaving the road that looked a little drier to Qi Yan.Xia Shishen's originally clean white sneakers were stained with mud, Qi Yan originally wanted to remind him, but seeing Xia Shishen stepping into the rain without hesitation, Qi Yan didn't speak.

"Did you watch the press conference?" Xia Shishen asked him suddenly.

Qi Yan paused, stepped over a small puddle, and then shook his head and said no.

Xia Shishen didn't seem to care much about this matter, he looked sideways at Qi Yan, smiled and said, "It's fine if you don't look at it, it's nothing important anyway."

When she got home, Lin Yiling was sitting in the living room. She watched Xia Shishen walk in behind Qi Yan. Because she was too tall, the not-so-wide space became even narrower.

Lin Yiling looked at Xia Shishen and seemed to be in a daze for a moment, but she quickly looked away and yelled that she was going to play cards at Aunt Li's house across the street.

While Xia Shishen was going to the bathroom to take a shower, Qi Yan nestled on the sofa bed, took out his phone, and clicked on the video of the unimportant press conference that Xia Shishen was talking about.

In the video, Xia Shishen was wearing the clothes he had come to see him, and sat on the stage with a natural expression.

In the first few minutes, Kang Ruwen crossed her hands on the table, apologizing for the negative news about the company's artists occupying the social space for so long, her tone was sincere, not as aggressive as when she came to see Qi Yan that day.

The media was fairly quiet, but it didn't last long. Before the questioning session started, Xia Shishen suddenly reached out and patted the microphone in front of him twice.

"I believe that everyone's time is very precious, and as a public figure, I have already wasted a lot of everyone's time in the past few days."

The flash and the shutter sound interlaced, like an impending, earth-shaking tsunami.

Qi Yan stared at the half-broken mobile phone screen, and his vision seemed to be divided into countless small pieces.

When Xia Shishen came out of the bathroom, Qi Yan was sitting down on the bed with his legs curled up.

He walked over and called Qi Yan's name softly.

Qi Yan raised his head, his eyes and the tip of his nose were red, as red as his lips.Because his hair hadn't been dried yet, Xia Shishen didn't want to wet Qi Yan's bed. He squatted on the ground and reached out to touch Qi Yan's hair, but Qi Yan didn't hide.

Only then did Xia Shishen notice that the screen in Qi Yan's hand had not gone dark.

"You didn't tell me anything." Qi Yan said.

The drops of water on the tips of his hair fell on Qi Yan's knees, Xia Shishen wanted to retreat, but his actions always ran counter to his thoughts, so he moved closer to Qi Yan.

"The real estate and company equity under my name have almost been dealt with, which is enough for breach of contract compensation for all contracts."

"The car is mortgaged, but it will be back soon."

Xia Shishen spoke lightly, as if none of this was important.

"I'm not as miserable as the media wrote." Xia Shishen paused, and continued as if comforting: "I have a house in the West District. It's not big, but it's enough for you, me, and grandma to live together."

"On the first floor, there is a small garden in front of it. If your grandma likes it, she can plant some flowers and plants."

"If she doesn't like it." Qi Yan raised his eyes and showed an unnatural smile, "My grandma has a strange temper, she likes to eat food with strong taste, watches TV dramas with no taste, and even drags others to chat. We chatted for over an hour..."

Xia Shishen just smiled, he put his arms around Qi Yan's waist, breath spread between trembling eyelashes and heartbeat.

"It seems that in the future, we really need to get used to it."

After Xia Shishen finished speaking, he pressed Qi Yan with his body, licked his collarbone with his lips, stroked Qi Yan's back with his palm along the hem of the clothes, and moved down a little bit along the joints.

"Then, let's run in first, shall we?"

The answer turned into a trembling sigh, and Qi Yan curled up in Xia Shishen's arms, looking at his profile by the light outside the window.
