Qiu Yuning couldn't hide his astonishment and looked at him, then quickly turned his gaze back, a little inexplicably annoyed, "You, you're teasing me again!"

He Zhiyuan said: "I'm afraid you don't know people clearly."

After Qiu Yuning calmed down, he whispered, "What you said is too serious."

He Zhiyuan didn't speak, and after a while, he said again: "You remember what you promised me."

Qiu Yuning paused for a moment, then gave a soft "hmm".

He Zhiyuan looked at him, and his voice was much softer, "Although I didn't teach you how to swim, the tuition fee is still charged."

Qiu Yuning choked up, "...What tuition do you want?"

He Zhiyuan thought for a while, his brows and eyes softened a lot, and the condensed air on his face slowly dissipated, "You will live with me next year."

Qiu Yuning was stunned, a trace of panic flashed in his eyes, "That's it?"

He Zhiyuan said in a low voice, "That's all."

Qiu Yuning didn't say anything.

He Zhiyuan said: "I can continue to teach you next year, and it will be convenient if we live together."

After a while, Qiu Yuning whispered, "My mother won't agree."

He Zhiyuan thought for a few seconds and said, "They will agree."

Qiu Yuning raised his eyes and looked at his face in confusion, "Why?"

He Zhiyuan looked at him and said softly, "They will agree when the time comes."

Qiu Yuning didn't understand, he hesitated to speak, He Zhiyuan asked: "You don't want to?"

Qiu Yuning said coyly, "It's not a matter of willingness or not..."

He Zhiyuan interrupted him, "I just want to hear your willingness."

Qiu Yuning's heart burned, and he couldn't say the words of rejection immediately.

He Zhiyuan was very patient now, he didn't say a word, just waiting for Qiu Yuning to answer.

After waiting for a long time, I finally heard Qiu Yuning say coyly: "...the fragrance is far away and the smell is near, when the time comes, you might hate me."

From He Zhiyuan's perspective, it's a little strange to see his soft cheeks. He is thin and thin all over, but his cheeks are fleshy, and the lines of his face are soft, as tender as a child's face, making his fingers itchy slightly.

When Qiu Yuning raised his eyes, he happened to see He Zhiyuan stretching out his hand. Before he could show any doubts in his eyes, he just watched He Zhiyuan's hand and gently pinched his cheek.

Qiu Yuning looked at him in surprise, because his cheeks were deformed by him, and his words were leaking, "Why are you pinching me?"

He Zhiyuan only squeezed twice, and then withdrew his fingers. The soft and delicate touch of Qiu Yuning's cheeks still remained on the fingertips, which made people inexplicably nostalgic, "I won't hate you."

Qiu Yuning reached out and touched his face. He didn't squeeze hard enough, but it made him a little itchy, "...you say you don't hate it now, maybe you will in the future."

He Zhiyuan didn't speak.

Seeing that he didn't speak, Qiu Yuning felt a little unhappy, "Why don't you speak?"

He Zhiyuan glanced at him indifferently, and said, "Do I hate you now?"

Qiu Yuning choked up, they are living under the same roof now, there are Qiu Zhaozhao and Zhou Mingmei, there is no problem, if the two of them live together in the future, wouldn't it be... just like living together?

Qiu Yuning vaguely agreed, and He Zhiyuan didn't want to force him anymore, after all, there was still time.

That night, Qin Shouze called Qiu Yuning. Qiu Yuning hesitated for a while, but still answered.

Qin Shouze asked happily, "Have you watched the class group?"

Qiu Yuning replied: "I haven't watched it yet."

Qin Shouze said: "It doesn't matter if you don't watch it. The time has been set. It's six o'clock in the evening the day after tomorrow. Have you made up your mind? Do you want to come and play?"

Qiu Yuning cleared his throat, lowered his voice and said, "I've thought about it for a long time, I don't really want to go, so I won't go, you guys have fun."

Qin Shouze was a little out of sorts with Qiu Yuning. Qiu Yuning looked soft-tempered, but in fact he didn't like oil and salt. This made people doubtful. He licked his lips, and his tone couldn't hide his disappointment, "Are you really thinking about it?"

Qiu Yuning picked the corner of the table and said in a low voice: "I think about it, I really don't want to go, anyway... Anyway, it doesn't make any difference whether I go or not."

Qin Shouze didn't know what to say, he couldn't persuade Qiu Yuning, and he couldn't bear to hang up the phone, so he asked in confirmation, "Are you really not coming?"

"Well, I don't want to go." Qiu Yuning said.

Qin Shouze let out a disappointed "Oh", he was not that good at talking, he could persuade Qiu Yuning to come to the class reunion, so he turned a corner and asked, "Are you coming to the swimming pool tomorrow?"

Qiu Yuning remembered what He Zhiyuan said to him, paused, and said: "I won't go, I'm too stupid, my brother doesn't want to teach me anymore."

Qin Shouze's heart skipped a beat, and his voice couldn't hide his joy, "He won't teach you anymore?"

"...Hmm." Qiu Yuning noticed the change in his tone and felt a little weird, but didn't think much about it.

Qin Shouze also found that he was too excited, so he quickly calmed down, lowered his voice and said, "If he doesn't teach you, let me teach you? You can also see that my level is good, and I can teach you more than enough."

Without even thinking about it, Qiu Yuning refused, "No need, I don't want to learn now."

After hearing this, Qin Shouze fell silent. Qiu Yuning listened to his silence and whispered, "If you have nothing else to do, I'll hang up the phone?"

Qin Shouze said in a low voice, "Qiu Yuning, you...do you hate me?"

Qiu Yuning was taken aback, "Why do you say that?"

Qin Shouze said: "Because you always reject me, what do you find annoying about me?"

He was a little frustrated, and even his tone became low.

Qiu Yuning thought for a while before saying, "I don't hate you, it's just...it's just that I'm really not used to getting along with others, and no one in the class probably likes me."

Qin Shouze quickly said, "How could that be! I—"

His heart beat inexplicably, his voice slowed down, and he said: "——I like you very much, doesn't Yang Siyue like you too?"

Qiu Yuning had never heard such straightforward words before, he was a little embarrassed, and his heart softened, "...Thank you for liking me, and I don't hate you either."

Qin Shouze couldn't help laughing when he heard this, he pressed his fist to his lips, and suppressed the laughter, "I see, if you don't go to the dinner party, don't go, it's because I wanted to get sidetracked, you didn't I like such lively occasions, and I would feel uncomfortable going there.”

Qiu Yuning nodded, then remembered that they were on the phone, he nodded and Qin Shouze couldn't see, so he said again: "So I won't go, you have to have fun, have fun."

Qin Shouze agreed, and wanted to find something to talk about, but Qiu Yuning spoke first and said, "Did I hang up?"

Qin Shouze paused, and said reluctantly, "Okay, hang up."

After hanging up the phone, Qiu Yuning let out a breath, opened the window, and closed the screen again.

The weather is hot, and it will be cooler at night. Qiu Yuning scratched his neck gently. He is easy to attract mosquitoes. When he gets here, he is still bitten all the time, which makes him a little irritable.

For dinner, Zhou Mingmei cooked a table of delicious dishes, but when they were served, she always had an unhappy expression on her face.

Qiu Zhaozhao buried his head in his meal and didn't speak. Qiu Yuning felt that the atmosphere was a bit weird, so he asked casually.

Zhou Mingmei said: "It's not your sister. The last time I came back and stayed for one night, I left. When I went to the Guangmao Market today, I saw Zheng Youqing. He was walking with a woman and bought furniture for her. , I called your sister and said, but your sister didn't respond at all."

After hearing this, Qiu Yuning frowned slightly, and whispered, "Isn't my sister breaking up with him?"

Zhou Mingmei said: "What is the split? If she splits, where can she find a man with such good conditions as Zheng Youqing? At her age, it would be nice to have a man who wants her. Don't hurry up and run around. It's all right now." , Zheng Youqing fell in love with another woman."

As she spoke, she became more and more angry, and said, "I can't control her now, and she will suffer in the future."

Qiu Shunming picked up a piece of braised pork, and his mouth was full of oil, "What do you care about her, she will cry in the future."

Qiu Yuning didn't get involved in this kind of topic, so after eating, he took a plate of fruit and went upstairs for He Zhiyuan to eat.

Zhou Mingmei and the others were no strangers to Qiu Yuning's attention to He Zhiyuan, but Qiu Shunming couldn't help complaining, "Why is Ningning so nice to that kid?"

Zhou Mingmei said: "He Zhiyuan gave the money, it doesn't matter if the relationship between the two of them is better, they are relatives anyway, but you, lied and cheated, and complained?"

Qiu Shunming choked up, and said in a rough voice, "He's a fart relative."

Zhou Mingmei said: "He is your relative, if you scold others, don't scold yourself."

Qiu Shunming rolled his eyes and was too lazy to talk to Zhou Mingmei.

Qiu Yuning was holding the fruit plate, saw that the door was open, pushed the door open and went in.

"I cut some fruit for you to eat, you eat—" Qiu Yuning got stuck seeing He Zhiyuan's naked upper body.

He Zhiyuan tilted his head slightly and glanced at him.

Qiu Yuning lowered his voice, "Do you want to eat?"

He Zhiyuan picked up the t-shirt on the chair and slowly put it on.

Although Qiu Yuning hadn't learned how to swim, after so long, she got used to seeing He Zhiyuan's body, so her reaction was not as big as before, but her face turned slightly red, and she didn't speak.

He Zhiyuan walked to Qiu Yuning, saw the fruit plate in his hand, several peeled oranges were neatly placed together, he laughed, "You peeled it?"

Qiu Yuning whispered, "If it's not me, who else could it be?"

He Zhiyuan reached out to take a piece, ate it into his mouth, paused, and glanced at Qiu Yuning.

Qiu Yuning smiled until his eyes narrowed slightly, "Is it sweet?"

He Zhiyuan raised his eyebrows, "Sweet, very sweet."

As he spoke, he picked up a few more petals and put them in his mouth.

Qiu Yuning opened his mouth slightly, staring blankly.

He Zhiyuan glanced at him, picked up a small piece of orange, and stuffed it into Qiu Yuning's mouth.

Qiu Yuning was caught off guard, and he stuffed it into his mouth and ate his fingers. He wrinkled his face, and hastily pushed his tongue out, pushed the small orange to the outside, and caught it with his hands.

He Zhiyuan looked at the wet spots on his fingertips and said to Qiu Yuning, "You licked me."

Qiu Yuning blushed and complained softly, "Who told you to feed me?"

He Zhiyuan raised his hand, put that finger on his lips and pursed it.

Qiu Yuning stared blankly, and when he realized it, his heart beat suddenly. He opened his mouth to say something, but he didn't know what to say. He Zhiyuan's move was so natural that he didn't even move his eyebrows. Maybe it was just a random move. But he was so upset.

Qiu Yuning's eyes drifted, and he asked softly, "Do you like sour food?"

He Zhiyuan said, "I don't like it."

"Then you still eat?"

He Zhiyuan smiled slightly, but did not answer.

Qiu Yuning lowered his head, put the small petal of half-sour orange into his mouth, took only a small bite, his sour face wrinkled, and he pouted with his tongue out.

It's really sour, not sweet, and He Zhiyuan can actually eat it.
