    The world's first crowdsourcing-driven asian bl novel translation community

    After Li Xuan left Yang Xu, he kept opening the window and looked in the direction of the elevator entrance. His neck was sore, and he finally saw the two of them coming back.Inexplicably relieved, he lowered his head to look at his phone in a disguised manner.

    Sheng Min also noticed his movement, and pursed her lips lightly.I think he might care a lot.Then he stopped Yang Xu who was about to get in the car: "You sit in the back." After finishing speaking, he opened the co-pilot's door and sat in by himself.

    Yang Xu froze for a moment, and sat in the back row according to his words. Li Xuan frowned and glanced at him.

    "Brother." Yang Xu complained endlessly in his heart, thinking that Li Xuan really lied to him just now, he was obviously having a conflict with his brother, and why did he say that it wasn't, if it wasn't an emotional conflict, could it be something else?

    Li Xuan simply didn't say much, stroked the small mole on his wrist, and quickly looked out the window again.Yang Xu quickly called the driver and told him to come back quickly.

    On the way back, the atmosphere was still very strange, and the car was surprisingly silent.The driver was driving very fast, and he just wanted to send the person to work earlier, but Yang Xu wanted to talk to Li Xuan a few times, but Li Xuan said yes and no, but he didn't want to talk about it, so he had no choice but to stop.

    In contrast, Sheng Min became the most comfortable one, only occasionally bumping into Li Xuan's eyes in the rearview mirror, and then hastily moved away.The cloud on Li Xuan's face deepened.

    The driver hurried and drove slowly, and within twenty minutes, he drove back to the entrance of the community.

    "Brother, then we're leaving, do I need to take you up?" Yang Xu said.

    "No need." Li Xuan responded casually, put on his hat and mask, and walked into the door without looking back.

    He walks consistently fast, and the hem of his clothes is windy.When met the elevator, it happened to stop on the first floor, so went in and pressed the floor.However, at the moment when it was about to close, Li Xuan looked at the path where there was no one in the distance, stretched out his hand to block the elevator door again, hesitated a little, and walked out.

    He found a random place in the entrance hall, flipping through his resume absently.From the corner of his eyes, he drifted towards the door from time to time, waiting for no one to come.Turn off the phone screen, turn around and walk out.As a result, as soon as he left the building, he bumped into Sheng Min.

    Seeing him in a hurry, the latter was also taken aback.The two stood a step apart, and could vaguely smell the faint aroma of lotus leaves brought by the night wind—lotus flowers were planted in the pool in the community.Leaves covered a pond.

    They stared at each other for a moment amidst the lingering lotus fragrance, but Sheng Min lowered his eyes first, and passed Li Xuan.

    Enter the elevator, go upstairs, and enter the house one after the other.

    Li Xuan went straight into the study, Sheng Min thought maybe we should talk about it, but Li Xuan always had a cold face, he was really tired, so he took his home clothes and went to the bathroom.

    When I came out of the shower, it was already dark.Sheng Min glanced at the closed door of the study, took out his mobile phone and ordered two porridge.It showed that the doorbell rang within five minutes of receiving the order.Sheng Min went to open the door with some doubts, and the delivery man handed over a bag: "Your takeaway."

    "So fast?" Sheng Min was puzzled, and glanced at the phone, which showed that the food was still being picked up, "Is it the wrong delivery?"

    "No." The delivery man looked at the house number and lowered his head to check, "Mr. Li is this one, right?"

    "I ordered."

    Just as Sheng Min came to his senses, Li Xuan's voice came from behind him.He didn't come over, probably because he was afraid that the delivery man would see his face.

    "Oh, yes." Sheng Min smiled and took the bag, "Thank you."

    He closed the door, turned around and handed it to Li Xuan.There were actually two servings of porridge inside.Li Xuan didn't pick up the bag, but took out a bowl from it.

    Sheng Min originally wanted to say that he had already ordered it, but felt that it was very hypocritical, so he simply didn't say a word.

    Li Xuan was also silent, and returned to the study with a bowl of raw fish porridge.Sheng Min withdrew his hand and looked, the other one was Osmanthus Lily.

    He didn't remember mentioning to Li Xuan that he likes to drink sweet porridge, so he guessed it was probably a coincidence.I was a little hungry after smelling it, so I sat in the dining room and drank it slowly.After clearing away the tableware, the takeaway I ordered was delivered slowly.Sheng Min put two servings of porridge in the refrigerator, it was still early and there was nothing else to do.Just find a book and read it.

    He didn't mean to wait for Li Xuan, but he had finished reading most of the book, the clock had passed a little earlier, and the door of the study room was still untouched, Sheng Min still had some inexplicable emotions in his heart.

    Not annoyed, just kind of annoyed.

    Actually, it shouldn't be, Sheng Min propped his head on his hands.He has been immersed in the entertainment industry for many years, and he is used to seeing cold faces from others.Participating in activities when they were not popular, the organizers did not coordinate well, and there was no lounge in the winter, and it took half the night to stand in the video studio.Yang Xu was so angry that he wanted to reason. Sheng Min felt that the wind was blowing a bit cold and wanted to go home. The other staff didn't apologize sincerely, but he could still say with a smile that it was okay and you worked hard.

    But now... Sheng Min looked at the closed door of the study and felt a ball of catkins stuck in his chest. He lowered his eyes, and his eyelashes cast light shadows on his eyelids.He guessed it must be because he was too sleepy.

    Thinking of this, Sheng Min really felt drowsy.After thinking about it, he put the book aside, got up and went to the bedroom, took out his pillow and quilt and was still on the sofa.Unscrewing the door of the study, he said in a flat tone, "I'll sleep in the living room at night, so you can rest after you're done."

    Li Xuan sat behind the computer and hummed, Sheng Min ignored it when the notification was in place, and turned around to take it to the door.The moment the door lock clicked shut, the flying fingers on the keyboard finally stopped.

    Li Xuan squeezed his shoulders expressionlessly, tilted his neck, and there was a crackling sound between his bones.The lights in Sheng Min's study room are not bright enough, and the light from the computer is particularly glaring in comparison.

    His programming has been self-taught for a long time, and he has many bad habits.In the past few years, I have been deliberately changing it, and I am very concerned about simplification and readability when writing code.However, when writing these tonight, Li Xuan loosened his collar, using his usual words to hurt others, like a shroud.

    He didn't want to admit that he was upset, but the screen full of codes was always unavoidable in front of his eyes.Closing his eyes tiredly, he turned off the computer for a while.

    In the living room, Sheng Min was quietly lying on his side on the sofa.He was facing the backrest, and he didn't move when he heard the footsteps, as if he had already fallen asleep for a short while.Li Xuan didn't turn on the light, and went to the bathroom in the dark to take a shower.The hairspray on head didn't seem to be clean. After washing it three times, felt barely refreshed.He wiped it off with a towel and went into the bedroom.

    Of course couldn't fall asleep, even if it was already two o'clock at night.Li Xuan sat up from the bed.There was a gap in the bedroom door so that you could see the scene in the living room. It was probably not closed tightly when you came in, and it was blown open again by the wind.

    He leaned against the back of the bed, the moonlight was like water, flowing over the slightly raised quilt on the sofa.Li Xuan remembered that the quilt seemed to be moon-white as well, just like the bed on his body, the satin surface was cool and smooth.Sheng Min seemed to like this material very much, and several cushions of the same material were placed on the sofa.He also remembered that the sofa in Sheng Min's house was extraordinarily soft, and he would sink into it when he sat on it. If he slept like this for one night, his back would definitely hurt the next day.

    These details, which he hadn't paid attention to usually, came out of nowhere, and they all got into his mind.

    In fact, it's not a big deal. When he was rushing to catch up with the program, he could sleep in the chair all night.Earlier, the bridge hole was also avoided...it was not a question of whether or not he could sleep well.Li Xuan frowned, he couldn't sleep well, and it wasn't because the sofa was too soft.

    He thought this way, his brows deepened, and he wanted to smoke a cigarette, but he didn't know where to throw the cigarette case, so he grabbed the cup and planned to take a sip of water, but the bottom of the cup was already empty.

    When everything goes wrong, in the final analysis, there is only one thing.

    He grabbed the glass and went to the kitchen to get a glass of water, then sat down on the arm of the sofa.

    One second, two seconds... A minute later, Sheng Min lifted the quilt, leaning on the sofa with his hands, eyes full of tiredness: "It's the middle of the night, what are you doing?"

    Li Xuan took a sip of water and moistened his lips: "Go to sleep."

    After he finished speaking, he bent down to get the quilt.The sofa is narrow, and one corner has fallen to the ground.Just as he picked it up, Sheng Min grabbed the other end, and the two were in a stalemate for a while.Li Xuan spoke a little impatiently: "I didn't say anything, you are still angry."

    "You just didn't say anything." Sheng Min said calmly.

    Li Xuan frowned at him.Sheng Min added: "I'm not angry."

    "Cheat you." Li Xuan directly pulled the quilt over, took his pillow with him, turned around and entered the bedroom.

    Sheng Min had no choice but to simply get a new bed, and put all the quilts in the cabinet in the bedroom.I had no choice but to follow in.He reached out to pat the light and was about to speak when he suddenly saw that Li Xuan's hair was still wet, and subconsciously said, "Why didn't you blow your hair?"

    "Aren't you asleep?" Li Xuan said casually.

    Sheng Min said, "Don't you know I'm not asleep?"

    Li Xuan threw the quilt on the bed and didn't speak, Sheng Min sighed and went to the bathroom to get the hair dryer: "Blow dry, I have migraines, you fell asleep while sleeping, you will definitely suffer from it tomorrow."

    There was a buzzing sound, and after a few words, it seemed that he was not so stiff.Li Xuan grabbed his hair with his fingers, and suddenly said: "Why do you like men?"

    Sheng Min thought in his heart that if he really didn't ask, he would be fine, and once he opened his mouth, it was impossible to answer.It's just that there is no reason for this kind of thing, she said softly: "I don't know. Why do you like women."

    Li Xuan paused, he wanted to throw out an answer, such as being gentle and beautiful, but after thinking about it carefully, this is not unique to women, and most importantly, it seems that he has never liked a certain woman.

    He has never loved anyone, and he can't tell who he will love in the future.

    Sheng Min didn't hear his answer, and didn't ask further: "It's my fault that I didn't tell you about this matter. In our current situation, I should have told you about this matter."

    "I don't mind that." Li Xuan cut him off, "I don't have anything to tell you... I don't talk this afternoon, and I'm not angry, it's just too sudden, I have to think about it."

    "What are you thinking?" Sheng Min asked.

    Li Xuan didn't speak immediately, he dried his hair half dry, turned off the hair dryer, and then said: "Men and men, don't you think..." He considered his words, "Is it strange?"

    Sheng Min had an intuition that what he wanted to say was not this word, so he said softly: "Why is it so strange, what time is it, you haven't heard of it before, right?"

    Li Xuan remained silent for a few seconds: "I've heard of it."

    His voice was deep, and Sheng Min felt that his attitude was a bit strange. He glanced at Li Xuan, suddenly blissful, and blurted out: "Could it be that you were harassed by a man?"

    Li Xuan turned his head abruptly, Sheng Min was stunned by his gaze, and it took him a while to hear him whisper: "It's not me."

    not him?Sheng Min frowned, it was someone.Who is that?

    He still hadn't figured it out, but Li Xuan didn't seem to want to bring up this topic again: "Whatever, I didn't do my business at first, so I won't talk about it."

    "So you were actually trying to say disgusting just now, right?" Sheng Min looked at the deep wrinkles between his brows.

    Li Xuan's back froze for a moment: "No."

    Sheng Min stopped talking, Li Xuan raised his hand and turned off the light: "Go to sleep."

    It was dark again in the bedroom, and they each lay down beside the bed, as if separated by the Chu River and Han Boundary.The two of them seemed to be lying in a coffin, so stiff that they did not move.

    Sheng Min was still thinking about what Li Xuan said just now, turned his head slightly for a long time, and said in a gentle voice: "If you have any shadows in the past, I can completely understand that this kind of thing is intolerable. But, you obviously can't accept it, you mustWhat are you doing pulling me in to sleep, you should treat me or yourself."

    Sheng Min stopped talking after finishing this sentence.

    Li Xuan stared at the ceiling in a daze.He thought Sheng Min was right, why on earth did he have to pull him in?Li Xuan himself felt strange and couldn't tell what he was thinking at that time.

    Sheng Min didn't know what was going on in his mind, and just thought he was tossing and turning beside him, feeling uncomfortable, and sighed: "Okay, I don't think I'll sleep anymore. I'd better go out."

    As he spoke, he was about to get up, but Li Xuan suddenly put a hand across his shoulder, half stood up, and pushed him back.

    "What are you tossing about tonight?" Sheng Min was helpless.

    Li Xuan looked into his eyes, and he suddenly realized why he insisted on La Shengmin come in.

    He thought, Sheng Min is cautious, but his sexuality can be known by assistants and managers with bad relationships, maybe something happened in the past.For so many years, Sheng Min didn't know how many eyes she had received for this.He didn't want Sheng Min to fall into bad memories again because of his attitude.

    But he thought this way, what he said and did, in Sheng Min's eyes, I'm afraid it would have a different meaning instead.

    "I have a friend." Li Xuan said, "When I was a child, I was molested by the same sex... This incident changed almost the entire trajectory of our lives."

    Perhaps a third person was involved, he spoke very briefly, Sheng Min couldn't understand the cause and effect, Li Xuan obviously didn't want to explain, he just pressed Sheng Min's shoulder firmly with one hand: "So when I found out today,It did feel very sudden. But it wasn't about same-sex issues, it just reminded me of some old things, and I didn't deal with my attitude well."

    He breathed out: "It's not your fault that you like men." Li Xuan paused, and said softly: "This is not a fault in itself."

    Sheng Min slowly raised his eyes, and Li Xuan looked at him with lowered eyes.

    They had switched bodies, and what he saw now were actually his own eyes.But what is behind the eyes, can he see Li Xuan's soul?Can Li Xuan see him?

    Sheng Min suddenly felt sad and embarrassed.

    All the emotions that wanted to be hidden and ignored seemed to sweep from all directions at this moment, and disappeared the moment they touched Li Xuan's clear eyes.

    Li Xuan let go of him, and seemed to feel a little embarrassed after speaking solemnly for a while, coughed: "Okay, I'm done talking too. If you feel inconvenient, I'll go out and sleep."

    He got up and got off the bed, but Sheng Min grabbed the corner of his sleeve: "You don't mind, what do I mind?"

    "Don't worry about it." Sheng Min threw away his hands, turned his back to him, "Go to sleep."

    Li Xuan didn't say yes or no, after a while Sheng Min felt that the other side of the bed seemed to sink a little bit, and smelled very light shampoo.The shampoo at home was used up, this bottle was picked up by Li Xuan at the supermarket that day, it had a fresh fig aroma, this aroma enveloped him like a veil, this time he really fell asleep.
