Sheng Min leaned against him and fell asleep for another half an hour. Li Xuan's shoulders were numb from the pressure, but he felt very happy again.

Why does holding a person in my arms give me a feeling of fullness in my heart?The most complex program he ever wrote could not output such a result.So much so that Sheng Min moved under the quilt, and was about to wake up again, feeling a little regretful.

"What time is it?" This time, he probably slept clearly, and his eyes were not as dazed as before.

"Around eight o'clock." Li Xuan was a little reluctant to let go, and tried to test without giving up, "Do you want to sleep a little longer?"

Sheng Min hummed suspiciously: "Aren't you going to eat?"

"You don't have to eat, it's up to you." Li Xuan squeezed his fingertips, paused for a moment, then asked him in a low voice, "Do you remember when you woke up just now? I thought you forgot."

He felt both sad and guilty, and somewhat proud, with a restrained rise in his tone.Sheng Min reacted for a while, the memory came back, and he avoided his sight, his tone was still very steady: "...I don't remember."

He pretended to be stupid and Li Xuan didn't expose it, but the curvature of the corners of his lips couldn't be suppressed no matter what.Sheng Min gently pushed him again: "Holding him too tightly, I can hardly breathe."

"Let me relax." Li Xuan said, his arms still wrapped around him tightly without sincerity.Sheng Min didn't move anymore, and let him hold her gently.He heard him calling his name again.

How many times is it today?Sheng Min thought helplessly, but his voice was indulgent and happy that he couldn't hide: "Got it."

Li Xuan also laughed, the laughter trembling slightly: "Know what?"

Sheng Min raised his face and quickly pecked his lips, his brows and eyes were lively: "I know."

After being tender for a while, I finally got up.When I got out of the lounge, I realized that I was too anxious just now, and my notebooks were all left in the conference room.

"I'll get it and let's go out for dinner. What do you want to eat tonight?...Do you want to eat seafood? There is a private kitchen nearby that can do it."

"Okay." Sheng Min nodded, "Is everyone else off work?"

"Let's all go. I'll let you get off work after the meeting... The lights outside are turned off. Wait for me to take a look." Li Xuan said as he took out his phone to order food, and saw two Weibo of Qi Boyuan.catch.

He frowned, and at the same time he opened the door, he turned the call back, only to hear the phone ringing across the wall.

Li Xuan quickly hung up the phone and immediately closed the door again, but the next second his cell phone rang, and there was a knock on the door.

"Li Xuan?" Qi Boyuan called him from outside the door, "You didn't leave?"

Li Xuan frowned slightly, turned his head and looked at Sheng Min, who pointed to the lounge: "Do you need me to avoid it?"

"I don't need it." Li Xuan said carefully.

"Then open the door." Sheng Min smiled lightly, "It's okay."

Li Xuan glanced at him again, and then opened the door again.Qi Boyuan hadn't seen anything for a long time, and was ready to leave.He suddenly heard the door lock, and suddenly turned back: "Li Xuan, let me tell you..."

His words were cut off in half when he saw Sheng Min, and he was also stunned.Instead, Sheng Min greeted with a smile first: "Meet you again."

It took Qi Boyuan a long time to come back to his senses, he stammered back a sentence of hello, he was probably really dazed and didn't know what to do, so he even touched a business card and went over.After a while of panic, his eyes were still fixed on Li Xuan like copper bells.

"What do you want to say?" Li Xuan coughed, hesitating for a short moment between admitting directly or covering up the past.

Qi Boyuan's next sentence directly helped him make a choice: "Is it really you in the video?"

"Let me declare first, I really didn't come here specially to arrest you."

Sheng Min went to the pantry on the pretext of being thirsty, leaving the two of them in the office.Qi Boyuan waited for him to leave, and quickly explained.

"Speak up, who are you arresting?" Li Xuan lowered his face and cursed in a low voice, "Why do I run into you every time? Didn't you go to Zhou Jia for dinner after the meeting?"

"It's gone." Qi Bo was really wronged, "I was halfway there, and Jiajia sent me a video, asking me if it was you...that's all."

"Don't turn it over, I've read it. What did you say."

"What can I say." Qi Boyuan was helpless, "I look quite similar, and the clothes are also similar, and the timing is still right... But in my cognition, you can't be this nervous, of course you don't know...... When it was over, she told me that she had something to go back to school and didn't wait for me to eat."

Li Xuan raised his eyebrows: "So I missed your date?"

"Can we stop being so narrow-minded?" Qi Boyuan sighed, "I'm simply explaining why I returned to the company."

Li Xuan was noncommittal, and shook his phone: "The reason for the call is to ask me about the video?"

"Why are you acting like a convict?" Qi Boyuan clicked his tongue, "I asked you about your work, but if you don't believe me, you checked your email. I called you when I didn't reply... I thought you were gone. I didn't see you when I came to your office half an hour agoPeople..."

As he spoke, he realized something was wrong, and his eyes quickly swept across the door of the lounge, his face obviously stiffened.

"What are you thinking about?" Li Xuan felt a little uncomfortable, so he threw his pen at him.

"What can I think?" Qi Boyuan blurted out, "Aren't you two?...I'm not talking about that, what I mean is...you don't want to say it." He finally added.

Li Xuan supported his head, and said impatiently: "What about the tongue twister?"

Qi Boyuan looked at his expression: "It's not what I thought, is it?"

Li Xuan didn't say a word, Qi Boyuan came to a conclusion: "That's what I thought."

"Are you homophobic?" Li Xuan finally spoke.

This is a confession, Qi Boyuan stared at him for a long time, this time he spoke more cautiously: "Not really, but I don't know you are."

Li Xuan shrugged: "I didn't know before."

He said so, but his expression was relaxed, mixed with very little ease and joy.Such an expression is really strange to him. On the day "One Corner" was launched, Qi Boyuan didn't remember him having such an elated moment, but the gloom of these days has been swept away.

"I actually suspected it." After a while, Qi Boyuan said in a very tangled tone, "There are not many people around you, and I have basically seen each other... Every time you mention Sheng Min, you are like being stepped onIt’s like a tail... After doubting it several times, I overturned it again. This is not just a matter of gender, you seem to be people from two worlds, and you can’t get along..."

Li Xuan didn't respond to the long series of words mentioned earlier, but immediately raised his head when he heard the words: "What doesn't fit."

"this......"

Instead, he stopped people from asking, Qi Boyuan thought carefully about meeting them twice.Now that I have a new understanding of the relationship between the two, I can't find a single violation, so I have to admit that I was misled by my own preconceived prejudice, "Okay, don't stare at me. You guysIf you want to talk about it, it doesn’t count if I’m an outsider. I have no objection, and I won’t talk about it outside.”

Li Xuan hummed, and said again: "Do you have any opinions? If you have opinions, I will fire you."

"That's your loss, I took your salary and haven't done the work yet." He looked at Li Xuan's rare look of embarrassment, and couldn't hold back his curiosity, "How do you know each other?"

"how do you say?"

They were the last table of guests in the restaurant. After eating, they went down the stairs. With the voice of the waiter behind them welcoming the next visit, the glass door closed and the lights behind them dimmed.

This is an old-fashioned wooden building by the river. With the urban renewal in the past few years, the facade has been remodeled. The windows are still small and high, and the light from the street lamps cannot come in. Only the hazy moonlight falls on the texture of the wood.

"I picked it up by the side of the road." Li Xuan smiled lightly.

Walking down the last step is Binjiang Road, a place that is rarely cool in summer in N City, many old people and children come to enjoy the coolness at night.It was late at night, and all the crowd dispersed, only two or three stray cats leaped over the white marble railing deftly with a meow.

"Really?" Sheng Min asked with a smile.

Li Xuan looked into his bright eyes, but couldn't tell the joke.After a while, he raised his hand and lightly touched his soft forehead hair: "I'm so lucky, I don't know how such a big pie fell from the sky and hit me."

His expression was so serious that Sheng Min didn't know what to answer, so he coughed in disguise: "Listen to your nonsense."

Turning around and walking forward, Li Xuan quickly caught up and grabbed his hand lightly.

Five meters away, the signboard of the parking lot can already be seen.

"Let's go around again." Li Xuan paused and discussed with him in a low voice.

So they walked along Binjiang Road several times, and even bought two brown sugar cold cakes on the hawker cart that was about to close the stall.Using the night as a barrier, holding hands unscrupulously, like all ordinary couples.

When you walk under a street light or meet a pedestrian, you let go quietly, and the back of your hand still brushes against the texture of the other person's skin.At the next intersection, he clasped his fingers tacitly again, even though his palms were wet with thin sweat.

When the car was parked downstairs at Sheng Min's house, the female voice of the on-board radio was announcing twelve o'clock.

Li Xuan couldn't help thinking of that night by the stream in the ancient town.

Who is Cinderella?It doesn't matter, after twelve o'clock, tomorrow and countless tomorrows, the pumpkin carriage will not turn back into a pumpkin again.

"I'm going up." Sheng Min said.

Li Xuan's eyes fell on him and he was reluctant to move away: "Rest early."

Sheng Min hummed lightly, and the two looked at each other and couldn't help laughing again. Li Xuan quickly unbuttoned his seat belt, and leaned over to kiss him.

"It's really gone." After parting, Sheng Min whispered.

"Go back." Li Xuan lowered his head against his collarbone, "I can't find any excuse to go upstairs for tea because I'm thirsty."

Sheng Min touched his ear and said softly, "If you want to go up, don't make excuses."

Li Xuan was startled, and suddenly raised his head, Sheng Min had already averted his eyes.

"Don't recruit me." Li Xuan wrapped his arms around his waist again, with a bit of suppressed complaint, "You have to rush back to the studio after recording the show tomorrow."

"I mean, your bed hasn't been removed yet." Sheng Min explained slowly.

Li Xuan turned his head to vent his anger and bit his lip, afraid of hurting him, but he was reluctant to use force, and finally just rubbed it lightly with the tip of his tongue.

It took another long time to spend a long time together, Li Xuan thought that he still had work tomorrow, and couldn't bear him to sleep too late, so he finally let go reluctantly.

"Slow down, send me a message when you arrive." Sheng Min told him.

"Okay." Li Xuan nodded, and got out of the car with him, "Go back, I'll watch you go upstairs."

Sheng Min said yes, but after walking a few meters forward, he stopped unconsciously and looked back at him.

The night breeze was gentle, and there was a very faint smell of tuberose in the air. The fragrance was like a faint thread, entangled them together.

Li Xuan sighed, went up to hug him sweetly and helplessly: "Go back to sleep, if this happens again, I really can't leave."

"Then... see you next week."

Li Xuan touched his face, and said only one sentence: "Good night."

The author has something to say:

Good night everyone, see you the day after tomorrow.
