He likes you

When it was time to get off work, He Yao packed up his things, closed the car door, and drove the ice cream truck home.Passing the bus stop that he pointed out to the strange man this morning, he saw a tall and thin man in a black coat sitting on a public seat from the rearview mirror.The light from the advertising lamp hit him from behind, making his face dim, like a pitch-black person.

He Yao took a look, then looked away, suddenly startled, and took another look.

It's that man today.

He stopped the car suddenly, leaned his head out of the car window, and took another look for confirmation.

The car behind him also stopped instantly and honked its horn several times, beeping as if the driver was swearing.

He Yao hurriedly retracted his head, beckoned to the driver behind, and drove the car away immediately.After the car drove for a kilometer or two, He Yao's heart was vaguely uneasy.Maybe still out of curiosity, maybe out of concern for the guests who met on both sides, he drove the car to the intersection, turned around, and returned to the bus stop.

The car stopped in front of the man, but He Yao didn't get off, and asked him, "Why are you still here?"

The man raised his head and looked at He Yao, his dazed eyes turned a little pale.

"I have nowhere to go, so I came back here again." He said this alone in the cold wind, and he looked a little pitiful.

"Where is your home?" He Yao thought to himself, if it wasn't too far away, he could take this person home by the way.

"I don't want to go home, I had a hard time getting out of there."

What He Yao was thinking fell through.Children who run away from home, except for those spiritual mentors who have chatting experience, with He Yao's ability, it is estimated that they will not be able to persuade them to go back.

"Then you can stay in a hotel, you have so much money."

"There are no rooms in the nearby hotels."

It suddenly occurred to He Yao that it was a holiday now, and it was indeed harder to find a hotel than usual.

"Do you have no friends or relatives? You can go to your friends."

"I was going to Taihe Street to find a friend today, but the people there wouldn't let me in."

He Yao asked curiously, "Where is that place?"

"A building with pictorial posters of many people posted outside."

He Yao frowned: "There are a lot of pictorials posted? A shopping mall?"

"They said it was a brokerage company."

"Isn't a brokerage firm a place for celebrities to stay?" He Yao asked in surprise, "Does your friend work there?"

"Probably." He wasn't sure.

"Otherwise, I'll take you to a friend of mine. She runs a youth hostel and should have a room for you to live in."

He Yao asked the man to get into the car, but the man hesitated for a moment, opened the car door, sat in the passenger seat, and thanked He Yao.

The decorations hanging in the ice cream car jingle and ring at the back.

When they came to Wenyi Youth Hostel, He Yao asked the staff to call their boss to come out.

The boss is a woman with curly hair, heavy makeup, and a cigarette in her hand.When he saw He Yao, he smiled ambiguously: "Xiao Yao, long time no see, come invite me to dinner. Wow, you brought such a handsome guy, do you want to introduce him to me?"

He Yao smiled awkwardly.This boss is the girlfriend he talked about when he was in high school, one grade older than him.Now that she is divorced and takes care of the child by herself, she will joke with He Yao when she sees him.

He Yao didn't take her joke, pulled the man over and said, "Senior sister, this is a friend of mine. He can't find a place to stay at night, do you have any free rooms here?"

The boss took a puff of cigarette and said, "There are so many students coming out to play during the holidays, how can there be any vacant rooms?"

"Senior sister, do me a favor. He has no place to go, so he can't let people sleep on the street, right? You must have a vacant room here."

As soon as He Yao spoke softly, the senior sister had no choice but to say, "Hey, that's fine. Just now someone vacated the bed on the Internet, but it was a six-person room, and the vacant one was the upper bunk. Ask you Friends are willing to live."

He Yao asked the man: "You have no place to go, why don't you stay here for a while?"

The man's expression seemed to be a bit tangled, and it might be because his skin was already fair, which made his complexion not look very good.

The boss smiled and said: "Otherwise, you can only sleep with me."

The man frowned and glanced at the boss. The boss's joke seemed to make him uncomfortable.He said in a very low voice: "No."

The boss waved his cigarette-clamping hand: "That can't be helped. I only have that one bed left, and I don't have any other rooms. If you want, I can forcefully sleep for one night. If you stay here tomorrow, maybe it will be better." The room is vacant."

"You can settle for one night, get some sleep and find another place to live tomorrow." That's what He Yao persuaded the man.During the holidays, it is good luck to find a place to live, and the conditions and environment of this hostel are not worse than other accommodation places.

"I'm serious." The boss shook the cigarette ash, "It's just such a bed, someone else might book it later. If you want it, hurry up."

The man hesitated for a moment, then reluctantly said: "That's fine."

The boss asked him to take out his ID card to register.The upper bunk is 60 yuan a night.

The man took his ID card and money out of his pocket.

When He Yao saw Shang Yan on the name line of his ID card and his date of birth, He Yao was stunned: "Are you only 19 years old this year?"

The man nodded his head and said "hmm".

After knowing his age, He Yao took a closer look at his face, and caught a trace of immaturity that belonged to 19 years old.It's just that when he is not talking or laughing, his expression is too cold, which is hard to detect.

The boss asked the staff to take Shang Yan to the room, but He Yao didn't go with him.

As soon as Shang Yan walked out, the boss put out the cigarette and began to gossip: "How did you know your friend? You look very handsome. Are you a mixed race?"

He Yao said: "I just met you not long ago, I'll talk to you when I have time. Thank you today, let's have dinner together some other day."

The boss still used a casual tone: "You really want to ask me out for dinner."

He Yao smiled: "Let's go."

"Okay, goodbye."

Shang Yan walked halfway with the staff, stopped, turned around and asked He Yao: "Are you leaving?"

He Yao said: "Yes, I have to go back. Goodbye." He waved to Shang Yan, turned around and left the hotel door.

Shang Yan pursed his lips, staring at He Yao's leaving figure, with uneasiness and reluctance looming in his eyes.

He Yao returned to the ice cream cart and checked the time.It was almost twelve o'clock, and he hurried home.

There are no people walking on the road, and the lights of the city are gradually extinguished, leaving only the lights that illuminate the road.

He Yao thought back to the person named Shang Yan who left just a second ago, and he finally thought of a suitable word to describe his feelings for this person.

This 19-year-old boy is like a prince in an ivory tower.
