The last time Zhou Ming was threatened like this was when he was arguing with his deskmate over something twenty years ago, and the little girl with the shofar braids told him angrily, don't leave after school.

He didn't smile, didn't pinch Ji Yunqing's face as usual, but looked seriously into the other's eyes.

"good."

Only then did Ji Yunqing snort, and slap Zhou Ming's hand on his waist: "You haven't slept all night?"

With the chill of the night still on his body and faint bloodshot eyes, Zhou Ming nodded, "I went to do something."

"Then go to bed first," Ji Yunqing pushed him neatly into the bedroom, "It's not as important as sleeping."

"What about you?" Zhou Ming turned around the moment he entered the bedroom, and put him in his arms directly: "Why did you wake up in the middle of the night and stay up all the time?"

He remembered that when he came in, the man was sitting on the sofa with a layer of frost on his face. It looked like he was waiting for him, and he probably didn't have a good rest, so he rubbed his slightly curled hair: "Come sleep with me again."

The quilt was newly changed, with a gray-blue simple checkered pattern. Ji Yunqing was lying on a soft pillow, his brown hair spread a little bit, looking lazy and undisciplined. He and Zhou Ming looked at each other face to face for a while, and laughed "噗嗤"up.

"Hold me like this, can you sleep?"

The arms around the waist tightened a little.

Zhou Ming paused, his face unchanged: "It's okay."

"But I'm also a little sleepy," Ji Yunqing bowed his head into the person's arms, "but I still want to know first, why did you go?"

"Let me talk about my situation first." Last night, his mood was a little broken, so he didn't tell Zhou Ming, and only now told the other party about the recorder, "I know he is guarding me, he is just a fox."

A fox smoked out of wine, sex and wealth.

Ouyang Yu's ability is not average and his qualifications are not good enough. He used to be promoted very quickly, but it is said that he was in the wrong team and was sent down to their dance troupe. Since then, he has put his tail on his back, no longer involved in factional struggles, and slipped in the officialdom like a loach.People just smile three-pointedly, they can have a good relationship with anyone and call them brothers and sisters, and they never get too close to others.

In fact, the oil and water here in the dance troupe is a little more than Ji Yunqing imagined.

"...His hands and feet are not clean," Ji Yunqing was thoughtful, "he must have taken things from the Cheng family, but I don't know when, let me tell you about yours."

Zhou Ming didn't shy away from it, and told Ji Yunqing what happened at night in detail, Fang Yuan looked at him with round eyes, and didn't speak for a long time.

"You don't have to pay too much attention to it, I guessed it too," Zhou Ming explained, "but if it's true, what do you think?"

The man fell silent, and raised his head after lying in his arms for a while, his ignorant expression disappeared, and the corners of his mouth were tightly pursed, looking a bit like he was holding back a smile.

"Yes, I want to do something bad, can I?"

Zhou Ming followed with a smile: "Yes, I think about it too."

Ji Yunqing got up suddenly: "Maybe we have thought of something together, let's see if it is."

He jumped out of bed, opened the drawer of the bedside table with ease, and took out a small notebook from it—sometimes Zhou Ming would write and draw something on it before going to bed, and when he turned to the blank page, Ji Yunqing bit his pen and thought for a while,I quickly wrote a few words, then turned a page and handed it to the other party.

Zhou Ming took the pen knowingly, and brushed the almost inaudible wetness on the cap of the pen with his thumb intentionally or unintentionally, just like when he touched the other party's tears last night, with a slightly accelerated heartbeat, he started writing without hesitation.

"I'll look at yours first," Ji Yunqing moved his face closer, with his hair touching Zhou Ming's chin, "Wow..."

There are three characters painted on silver hooks and irons on it-dog eats dog.

He raised his face in surprise, with a happy smile in his eyes: "Look at mine."

Zhou Ming turned forward, and there were a few big characters flying like dragons and phoenixes - let the idiots tear it off by themselves.

The best way to solve the trouble is to lead the trouble to the east, and put yourself out of the way. The two really thought of being together. Ji Yunqing covered his face with a notebook and smiled. Zhou Ming couldn't help but reach out and poke the other's face: "LittleBao, don't swear."

"Yesterday you said I could talk about it," Ji Yunqing was still laughing, "Besides, is this a dirty word..."

"Of course." Zhou Ming couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth, "Forget it, you can say, just don't stand in front of me."

"how?"

Zhou Ming looked at him seriously: "You make me feel that you are very sexy."

The next second, the person who was still full of embarrassment just now was stunned for a moment, a little redness gradually spread on the base of his ears, Ji Yunqing turned his head away, and opened his mouth abruptly: "What's on your mind."

"I thought you were often praised like this." Zhou Ming was also stunned. "When you perform, won't the following boast that you are so beautiful, what is so beautiful?"

This is true, but why is it so awkward coming out of this person's mouth, Ji Yunqing cleared his throat: "That won't be praised as sexy, right? There are more modern dances or hip-hop dancers. Our kind basically means it's really beautiful.Or really awesome."

He raised his head and met Zhou Ming's eyes. After watching for a while, the other party also blushed.

They bowed their heads tacitly together.

After tossing and tossing for so long, the sky has slowly dawned, and a beam of golden light replaced the frosty moonlight, shining softly on the bed and on Ji Yunqing's slightly trembling eyelashes.

"I'm not going to sleep, I'm going out to do some errands," he stared at his fingers, "It will be done soon."

Zhou Ming's voice was a little hoarse: "Is there anything I need to do?"

In fact, at this moment, Ji Yunqing instinctively wanted to refuse.

He doesn't want to cause trouble to the other party. Since he was a child, he has solved problems by himself. In his bones, he still has a bit of the traditional concept, that is, no matter how tired or hard a man is outside, he can't bring this low pressure home.It's nothing to say.

His chin was pinched without any force. Zhou Ming's hand was warm and gentle, but it only forced him to raise his head and look at the other party.

"do you need?"

He asked again.

For some reason, Ji Yunqing's ears were filled with a tingling itch and an unexplained oppressive feeling when he heard a sentence with no tone. His throat rolled, his eyes were attracted by Zhou Ming's sharp eyes, and he opened his mouth unconsciously.:"need……"

As soon as the voice fell, the strength on the chin disappeared, replaced by a warm embrace, and Zhou Ming's breath and laughter rushed to Ji Yunqing's ears.

"Thank you."

Zhou Ming hugged the person in his arms vigorously.

Thank you for opening up your world to me little by little.

His heart was about to melt, the joy of being "needed" by the other party dispelled the fatigue of running all night, Zhou Ming didn't care about any troubles, what he wanted was not to be pushed away, and that Ji Yunqing could ask himself for help, can rely on, can let go of all defenses in his arms, and cry heartily.

Thank you for giving me such a sense of security.

Ji Yunqing said he was going out to do some errands, but actually slipped back to sleep.

He huddled under the quilt and touched his ears that were a little hot. After a while, he stretched out his head and embraced the little monster with horns on the bedside table.

"Come on, sleep with me."

After he figured things out, he was not in a hurry. He waited for the other party to come to find him, so he could have enough time to catch up on sleep. When he woke up in the middle of the night last night, his side was empty, only the moonlight shining like water on it.

At that moment, Ji Yunqing felt that his heartbeat was about to stop.

He jumped out of bed with bare feet, but couldn't find his cell phone. His calf hit the corner of the table and it hurt a little. Ji Yunqing realized his carelessness belatedly. He turned on the computer, but forgot the password.After sitting for a while, I only felt ridiculous when I realized it.

Could it be that Zhou Ming went out to find his cell phone?

Or a friend has something to do and was called out?

He is a big man, so he doesn't have to be so nervous when he goes out in the middle of the night.

Ji Yunqing supported his head, his elbows stamped on the cold desk, he picked up the sketchbook next to him, flipped through it absent-mindedly, trying to calm down his wild thoughts.

Zhou Ming told himself the password, and he also said that he can look at the things in the house casually.

He had never been able to flip through other people's things before, but now he would be bored, and he would flip through the pages with a bit of a critical mentality. He couldn't sleep anyway, and looked at what this guy drew every day.

Auntie the cleaner in overalls looked up at the magnolia flowers on the street.

The middle-aged man eating noodles at the stall, because he was sitting on a very short horse, his whole back was bent, and he was sweating profusely from eating.

Junior high school girls in school uniforms walked forward hand in hand with schoolbags on their backs, filling up the small sidewalk.

Zhou Ming is really good at observing the details in life. Ji Yunqing doesn't know much about art, but he also knows that his paintings are very good. Whether it's clean and tidy lines or expression structure, they all give people a lifelike feeling.

It will be over soon.

Is that all?

...without him.

Ji Yunqing put the sketchbook back expressionlessly, unable to tell what it was like.

Not a single picture is of myself.

He squeezed his hand unconsciously, and it took him a while to realize that he was cold, so he sat silently on the sofa, put on a blanket, and waited for the man to come back.

Eyes fixed on the door.

No, as if he cared about him so much, Ji Yunqing changed his posture, picked up the sleeping kitten in his arms, and gave the gate a noble and cool back view.

This makes me feel more comfortable.

The night was so quiet that even the sound of the wind seemed to be heard, Ji Yunqing himself didn't know what he was doing awkwardly, he sat stubbornly in the dark without turning on the light, he could even hear the faint heartbeat and the sudden sound of footsteps.

"Zhou Ming?" He suddenly stood up and looked back.

The kitten jumped off his knees, stretched on its back on the carpet, and then left with its tail up.

Ji Yunqing stared blankly at the quiet door, her heart beating like a drum.

On the one hand, I feel ridiculous for my auditory hallucinations.

On the other hand, he remembered Anna's words and his unconscious turning around.

Just to get a glimpse of that person.
