       Zhou Mo suspected he had misread it and sent three question marks in a row, asking: Who are you in love with?

       Suo Yang stood up and stretched, then leaned against the window and replied: Shen Huiming.

       A voice call came in from Zhou Mo.

       “What’s the situation?” Zhou Mo said in surprise, “Why are you two secretly communicating behind my back?”

       Suo Yang smiled softly, “We’ve known each other since before your birthday.”

       “……Really?”

       “Well, he was on a business trip to New York once and took my flight.”

       Zhou Mo was even more surprised, “And then you saw each other after that? That’s not right! You’re not that kind of person!”

       “It’s not true, but there are always unforeseen things.” Suo Yang briefly told Zhou Mo about the several ‘encounters’ he had with Shen Huiming, and after hearing that, Zhou Mo couldn’t help but feel that fate was really to blame.

       “Ming ge is pretty good,” Zhou Mo said, “but this guy is really… What should I say to him.”

       “Huh? What’s the matter?”

       Zhou Mo sneered, “He’s really good at pretending. Did you know that?”

       “What’s the meaning?”

       “Didn’t I introduce Jiang Tongyan to you on my birthday? I originally wanted to introduce Ming ge to you,” Zhou Mo said. “but then he pretended to say that he had no intention of being in a relationship for the time being and that he should concentrate on his career first. Tsk, what a hypocrite! “

       Suo Yang laughed out loud.

       “Oh, but then again, you two hadn’t met each other yet at that time,” Zhou Mo said, “He’s also good at it too. Is this a case of seeing what you desire?”

       It didn’t matter if it was a fling or anything else. The important thing was that they were together now, and Suo Yang could feel Shen Huiming’s sincerity.

       “Does Jiang Tongyan know about this?” Zhou Mo said, “He’s in deep shit.”

       “Why do you say that?”

       “There is a curse between him and Old Shen. Haven’t you heard of it?” Zhou Mo laughed, “Whenever Jiang Tongyan likes someone, that person is bound to like Shen Huiming!”

       Suo Yang laughed out loud.

       He remembered this incident, but at that time, he didn’t feel that this ‘curse’ would come true to him.

       However, Jiang Tongyan might not really have fallen for him. After all, he hadn’t contacted him since that meeting.

       Zhou Mo was in a good mood as he listened to Suo Yang laugh.

       He had always regarded Suo Yang as his best friend for so many years. When he saw that Suo Yang was finally willing to look for someone and found a good one, Zhou Mo was happy too.

       “Where are you?” Zhou Mo knew he was at the hotel, “Old Shen didn’t fly with you, did he?”

       Back in the days before Zhou Mo changed careers, Cheng Sen chased after him and flew with him at every turn. The two flirted with each other on the plane, and after getting off the plane, they looked for a place to rent a room. Life was so good.

       “I’m in Rio,” Suo Yang said, “Huiming has a lot going on at his company, so he can’t just leave whenever he can.”

       “Yo yo, Huiming!” Zhou Mo said with a gossipy laugh, “Calling so sweetly!”

       Suo Yang laughed and didn’t say much.

       “But it’s true, old Shen is all on his own. It’s very hard work,” Zhou Mo said, “Okay, I won’t bother you anymore. You should take the time to recuperate and come back to make up for your hard-working man.”

       There was nothing Suo Yang could do with him; this man had always spoken immoderately.

       “It’s time to hang up. I have to pack up and get ready to go out.” Zhou Mo muttered at the end, “I’ll have to find a chance to get old Shen to treat me to a big meal!”

       “I’ll treat you.” Suo Yang said with a smile, “I’ll contact you when I get back.”

       After he hung up the phone, Suo Yang smiled and let out a long sigh of relief.

       This was the first time he had heard about Shen Huiming’s refusal to be introduced by Zhou Mo. He didn’t expect that there would be such a story.

       Suo Yang, who had had enough sleep and didn’t want to go out with his colleagues, changed his clothes and wandered alone on the streets of Rio, wanting to see if there was anything he could buy back as a gift for Shen Huiming.

       At this point, Suo Yang suddenly realized that the two of them really didn’t know each other well enough, and they didn’t even know each other’s likes and dislikes. He understood that he could only discover these things slowly in the future and write them down bit by bit.

       He could even imagine that whatever he gave, the other party would accept it like a treasure and then say he liked it.

       But he still hoped to match what he liked and hoped that what he gave to Shen Huiming was what the other party liked and could really use.

       As he was walking along this road, he suddenly smelled the aroma of coffee.

       He suddenly remembered that the last time he went to Shen Huiming’s company, he drank the coffee Jiang Tongyan gave.

       Suo Yang stopped, followed the aroma, and looked around. He then finally found the source of the coffee aroma.

       What he thought when he pushed the door open was: Next time, I want Shen Huiming to say that my lover brought this back from Brazil when he invited people for coffee.

       He smiled self-deprecatingly. Why was he still feeling jealous?

===

       The night before Suo Yang’s return, Shen Huiming stayed up all night to finish all the work he could handle so that at least he had half a day free to go and pick up Suo Yang.

       He realised that he didn’t tell Suo Yang he would be there, and when he finally contacted the other party, he only said, “It will depend on the situation at that time”.

       Life was always going to be a bit of a surprise!

       Shen Huiming slept for over three hours, got up at seven o’clock, went to the nearby market to buy some ingredients, and left for the airport at almost nine o’clock, waiting to pick up his hard-working boyfriend home.

       This kind of life was too blissful, which made Shen Huiming feel like he and Suo Yang had already lived a married life.

       When he arrived at the airport, Suo Yang hadn’t landed yet, and Shen Huiming was really inexperienced in picking up a flight attendant and didn’t know whether he should wait with everyone at the international arrival exit.

       He pondered for a while, found a coffee shop to sit down, sent a message to Suo Yang, and then waited there quietly.

       This time, Shen Huiming had no urgent work, so he brought out the book with the coffee-stained cover and sat in the coffee shop at the far end of the airport lobby, holding his mobile phone and scrolling through Suo Yang’s Weibo.

       In Rio de Janeiro, Suo Yang said he missed him.

       Shen Huiming smiled and clicked on it, replying: I miss you too.

       Shen Huiming didn’t have a Weibo at first, but when he was in Berlin last time, he knew that Suo Yang was playing Weibo, so he remembered it. In the past few days, on a whim, he also registered one.

       He didn’t even bother changing his avatar and ID; the only person he followed was ‘Sky Mirror’.

       After replying to Suo Yang’s Weibo, Shen Huiming saw Zhou Mo’s comments. Zhou Mo’s profile picture was a photo of him and Cheng Sen, but the photo only showed a part of Zhou Mo leaning on his shoulder. Cheng Sen’s face was not shown.

       The bored Shen Huiming clicked on Zhou Mo’s Weibo, and the first thing he saw was: My best friend has been pigged out, and although the pig is not bad, it feels like a loss!

       Shen Huiming probably guessed what he was talking about, smiled helplessly, and said to himself, Am I a pig?

       From where Shen Huiming was sitting, he could see the blue sky at a glance. He put down his mobile phone, stared at the planes taking off and landing, and guessed which one of the returning planes had his sweetheart on board.

       Suo Yang’s flight landed on time, and after finishing his work, he turned on his phone.

       Shen Huiming said: I’m here, waiting for you.

       “Yang ge, why are you so happy?” A colleague came in to change clothes, saw him standing there with his mobile phone and giggled, and deliberately made fun of him, “A lover?”

       Suo Yang replied with a smile, “Yes.”

       The other party was a little surprised and then congratulated again and again.

       Suo Yang was anxious to see Shen Huiming, and after he changed his uniform, he didn’t chat with his colleagues. He made an excuse and left first.

       After he came out, he called Shen Huiming, “Where are you?”

       Shen Huiming said the location of the coffee shop he was in. He smiled and asked, “Miss me?”

       Suo Yang smiled lightly and did not answer.

       “I know even if you don’t say it.” Shen Huiming said, “You missed me when you were in Rio.”

       Suo Yang was a little surprised, “Did you see my Weibo post?”

       “From now on, just tell me directly if you miss me,” Shen Huiming smiled, “Showing love over the air, wouldn’t it be a loss if I don’t know?”

       Suo Yang dragged his suitcase, passed through the noisy crowd at the airport, and walked quickly towards the coffee shop on the far side.

       Him, “Okay, next time I miss you, I will tell you directly.”

       “Where are you?” Shen Huiming asked, “I’ll go to your side to meet you.”

       “No need, I…”

       “I miss you,” Shen Huiming got up and walked outside, “If I can see you one minute earlier, I will earn an extra minute.”

       The two big men, surprisingly so cringy, Suo Yang smiled so much that his ears burned.

       The two walked towards each other on the phone like this and saw each other’s figures through the people they were passing by.

       “Want to kiss you right here.” As they finally got closer and stood in front of the other party, Shen Huiming stared at Suo Yang, “It’s going to be hard to control myself.”

       “But you still have to control it.” Suo Yang put the phone away and looked at him with a smile, “I’ll let you kiss me when we get back.”

       This was already the most cringe thing that Suo Yang could say.

       Shen Huiming was happy and led the other party out quickly.

       However, although Suo Yang said that he would give him a kiss after they got back, actually, as soon as he sat in the passenger seat, Shen Huiming came over and took the opportunity to kiss him under the pretext of helping him fasten his seat belt.

       “Why am I like this?” Shen Huiming said after kissing him, “Like a bad wolf.”

       “You are aware of that, huh?” Suo Yang took his hand and squeezed it lightly, “Let’s go.”

       Shen Huiming sat back and drove Suo Yang away from the airport.

       He directly took Suo Yang back to his home and hugged him as soon as he entered the door.

       Suo Yang smiled helplessly, letting him cling to himself childishly, and then slowly responded. The two kissed on the sofa for nearly twenty minutes before separating.

       “Why is your face so red?” Shen Huiming asked with a smile.

       “Why do you think?” Suo Yang looked at the other party, leaned forward and kissed him, “I brought you a gift.”

       He patted Shen Huiming lightly, pulled him up from the sofa, and then went to open the suitcase.

       “Coffee?” Shen Huiming took the two packs of coffee beans from him, “Why did you think of buying this?”

       “Keep one pack at home and one pack at work.” Suo Yang said, “You like coffee, and I can buy speciality coffee from various countries for you in the future.”

       Shen Huiming smiled while holding the coffee beans and asked, “Do I smell vinegar¹eating vinegar is the way Chinese people say someone is jealous, so in this case, Shen Huiming is teasing Suo Yang by saying he smelled his jealousy?”

       Suo Yang, a little embarrassed, turned away from Shen Huiming, squatted there, and pulled the suitcase back up.

       “Jealous of Jiang Tongyan too?” Shen Huiming went over and hugged him from behind, “Okay, go for it. You are so cute when you are jealous.”

       Suo Yang flew to Rio de Janeiro this time, counting the time spent overnight there, the round trip took almost four days.

       It was afternoon when they arrived in Rio de Janeiro, and they didn’t return until the next afternoon, so they could rest there for a day.

       Suo Yang saw off the last passenger, sorted out the cabin affairs, and turned on the phone after everything was done.

       After turning it on, the first message that came in was from Shen Huiming: Saw a plane and instantly missed you.

       In fact, he hadn’t gotten used to this state for the time being—having someone think of him all the time, and thinking of someone else all the time. But it was undeniable that when I saw this sentence, the exhaustion accumulated after more than 30 hours of flying was swept away.

       There was an 11-hour time difference between here and China. Suo Yang replied to Shen Huiming, who had already fallen asleep where the sun was shining brightly in Rio de Janeiro.

       He didn’t say much, just told the other party that he landed safely—Everything is going well, don’t worry.

       Suo Yang went to the hotel with everyone. As usual, two people shared a room. This time, the colleague who lived in the same room with him happened to be in the same group as his girlfriend. After the two arrived, they went to open a separate room and then said to him with some embarrassment, “Yang ge, I won’t come to stay at night.”

       Suo Yang smiled and nodded to express his understanding.

       It was good that she was not coming over, so he was happy to be alone.

       He put away his luggage, tidied up briefly, went to take a shower, then picked up the book he brought with him, and lay down on the bed.

       Suo Yang felt that he might be influenced by Shen Huiming, and even carried that ‘On Love’ book with him when he went out. He sent this book to Shen Huiming anonymously before, and the two met to finish it together. For Suo Yang, it was actually a re-reading, so he didn’t take it too seriously at the time. Every time Shen Huiming sent him the reading progress, he would turn to that page at the same time and scan the pages.

       Today, tired as he was, he actually tried to reread it word by word from the first page.

       [In this world, there is nothing stronger than the desire for love.]

       Seeing the first sentence of the first chapter, Suo Yang laughed.

       When he read this sentence last time, he didn’t think so, but now he nodded.

       Shen Huiming seemed to believe that the relationship between them was influenced by ‘Romantic Fatalism’. He believed that the fate of the two had been tied together long ago. As for Suo Yang, he always thought this matter was mysterious before, and he always tried to get rid of ‘Fate’ every time it was mentioned, but always found that it seemed difficult for human beings to get rid of the so-called “Fate”.

       However, even if “Fate” always haunted them, it only had a small impact on their lives, and it only leads them to meet, and later on, the whole relationship between them still depended on themselves.

       Suo Yang felt that he and Shen Huiming could come together, fate only contributed 30% of the whole development, and the rest should be credited to Shen Huiming.

       It was Shen Huiming who made a person who neither expected nor was optimistic about love, willingly write the word ‘love’ on paper.

       He leaned on the bed, leaning on the soft pillow, and finished reading the encounter between ‘I¹the person in the book’ and Chloe in the book.

       He and she, he and him, they all met at thirty thousand feet, on the plane, in the clouds.

       As he closed the book, Suo Yang clearly knew that ‘Romantic Fatalism’ was still just a very metaphysical thing. It could reasonably exist in the book, but it might not really exist in reality.

       But regardless of whether ‘Romantic Fatalism’ existed or not, he had truly fallen in love with that man, and he truly was missing him on this afternoon in a foreign country.

       He glanced at the time. It was 4:30 p.m. Rio de Janeiro time.

       It should be the early morning of the next day at Shen Huiming’s place, and the other party must be in a dream.

       He picked up his phone and sent another message to Shen Huiming: I wish you another wonderful day when you wake up, and I miss you too.

===

       Suo Yang didn’t sleep for long this time, he woke up around eight o’clock.

       The first thing he did when he opened his eyes was to touch his phone and check his messages.

       This was also a new change for him.

       Shen Huiming sent him a photo of his breakfast two hours ago—a bowl of delicious-looking wontons.

       Suo Yang had barely eaten since the morning, and he hadn’t felt hungry at first, but when he saw Shen Huiming’s wontons, his stomach suddenly growled shamelessly.

       He subconsciously rubbed his stomach, turned over with his mobile phone, and replied to Shen Huiming: Good morning, the wontons look delicious.

       Shen Huiming had already finished his coffee when he received the text and was sitting on the sofa with his mobile phone looking through the schedule sent by his assistant yesterday.

       It was another busy day.

       Sometimes Shen Huiming thought, just as employees didn’t want to go to work, the boss didn’t want to go to work either, just like students didn’t want to go to school, and teachers didn’t want to either.

       Who didn’t want to enjoy life and make money at the same time? But the problem was that they were all ordinary people, and if they didn’t work hard, they just couldn’t afford to eat or live.

       He looked at the long list of schedules, and Shen Huiming had a headache, but when Suo Yang’s message came, he was in a good mood.

       Shen Huiming replied to him and asked cautiously: Can we do a video call?

       He wanted to see Suo Yang.

       Suo Yang had never video-called anyone, including his parents.

       Shen Huiming hadn’t received a reply for a long time, and he was a little nervous. Although the two were indeed a couple now, they really didn’t know each other well in many habits. He was still afraid that he will touch Suo Yang’s trigger.

       Just as he was thinking about how to talk, Suo Yang’s video call invitation came through.

       Shen Huiming laughed, thinking that he was being too cautious, while Suo Yang was not so.

       The two were separated by more than 17,000 kilometres. truly separated by mountains and water, and when they saw each other on the video, their longing doubled.

       “It’s already dark over there, isn’t it?”

       “Well, I slept through the evening.”

       Shen Huiming laughed, “Tired?”

       “A little bit,” Suo Yang said, “but there is enough rest time, and we will return to the journey tomorrow night.”

       Shen Huiming made a rough calculation. If Suo Yang returned tomorrow night, he would arrive in the morning of the day after tomorrow. He quickly glanced at the calendar on the table, intending to free up as much of that morning as possible.

       Although Suo Yang said no, he still wanted to pick him up.

       “Your wontons seem to be pretty good.” Suo Yang had already gotten off the bed, sat on the chair by the bed and looked out the window, “I’m hungry.”

       The phrase ‘I’m hungry’ actually seemed a bit coquettish, which made Shen Huiming wish he could go over and cook wontons for him right away.

       “I’ll cook it for you when you come back,” Shen Huiming looked at him with a smile, “What are you going to have later? Authentic Brazilian barbecue?”

       Suo Yang laughed out loud, “Shall I eat alone?”

       “What? You’re not going out with your colleagues?”

       “No,” Suo Yang said, “I don’t really want to go out.”

       Shen Huiming smiled, “Then when I have a chance in the future, I will accompany you to go.”

       Suo Yang looked at the video of a fully dressed Shen Huiming and suddenly wanted to help the other party tie their cufflinks.

       “Okay.” Suo Yang looked at him with a slight smile, “Where else do you plan to go with me?”

       “Berlin.” Shen Huiming said, “Let’s go to a wedding later.”

       The two men looked at each other for a moment.

       Shen Huiming didn’t say it explicitly, because to say it now would make him seem a bit impatient and frivolous, but he was really thinking that when the two of them returned to Berlin in the future, it would be their own wedding they would be attending then.

       If Suo Yang agreed.

       “Okay.” Suo Yang replied with a smile.

       Shen Huiming knew that Suo Yang agreed to go back to Berlin together, but he secretly changed the meaning in his heart, which brought him a double good mood.

       “Are you getting ready to go to the company?” Suo Yang asked.

       “Well, it’s almost time.” Shen Huiming didn’t want to go to work in the first place, and now he’s video calling Suo Yang, he didn’t want to go out even more.

       Suo Yang smiled, “Go, I won’t bother you anymore.”

       Shen Huiming sighed and said, “I desperately need a vacation to travel around the world with you.”

       “There will be a chance,” Suo Yang waved to him, “but before that, you still have to work hard to make money.”

       Shen Huiming laughed out loud, and couldn’t help feeling that Suo Yang was being genuine.

       “Okay, I’m ready to go out.” Shen Huiming looked at the person on the other side of the video reluctantly and said, “I miss you very much. When you come back, I will pick you up.”

       Suo Yang smiled and didn’t answer his words, just said to him, “Drive carefully, don’t get too tired.”

       The two said ‘goodbye’ to each other, but it was Suo Yang who hung up the video first.

       The video call cut off and the room became quiet again.

       Suo Yang raised his hand and pinched his face which was a little sore from smiling, and stared at the phone interface in awe.

       After the video ended, Shen Huiming sent another message. He said: Contact me anytime if you have anything to do. You are as important as work.

       Suo Yang stared at the message with a smile and replied after a long time: Okay.

       Shen Huiming put him in the same position as work, which didn’t make Suo Yang unhappy, on the contrary, he thought it was the right thing to do.

       Love and lovers were important, but for a mature and rational adult, one should not be easily carried away by emotions.

       In this world, it was realistic that one must first survive and live, and only then we could have the energy to love others well.

       If Shen Huiming told him today that he was more important than work, Suo Yang might feel disappointed instead.

       The person he had chosen should not be like that.

       He stretched and looked out the window.

       Suo Yang suddenly discovered that he had not only love for Shen Huiming but also admiration.

       He appreciated the other party’s reasoning and his way of dealing with the world.

       His sight fell from the scenery outside the window to himself reflected in the glass window. This man in pyjamas with dishevelled hair was so lucky. He was doing a job he liked and met his ideal lover. All of this was too wonderful to believe.

       He picked up his phone, opened Weibo, and took a picture of the night scene outside the window. When he posted, he added a few rare words.

       He wrote: Missing you on this night in Rio de Janeiro.

       A few minutes later, a message came from Zhou Mo: What’s going on? Who did you miss?

       Suo Yang never thought of hiding it, and admitted openly: I am in love with Shen Huiming.

       A healthy relationship is not two people who only have each other in their minds all day long, and only want to be tired of being with each other, but about being in love when they are together and living well when they are apart.

       At three o’clock in the afternoon, Shen Huiming drove Suo Yang home. After that, one of them had to go back to the office and the other had to prepare for a flight to another country.

       Suo Yang fell asleep in the car, hugging the eternal flower bear Shen Huiming had gavin him, sleeping peacefully and a little cutely.

       Shen Huiming followed the navigation and arrived at Suo Yang’s house, parked the car, but was reluctant to wake him up.

       But Suo Yang was not a heavy sleeper and opened his eyes not long after the car stopped.

       “Tired?” Shen Huiming raised his hand to smooth the hair on Suo Yang’s forehead.

       “I’m fine.” Suo Yang took a deep breath, “We’re here…”

       He tilted his head to look upstairs, the apartment on the 17th floor was about to welcome a new guest.

       “Want to come up and sit down?” Suo Yang asked.

       Shen Huiming wanted to go up very much, but he just received a call from his assistant on the way to the office, that someone was visiting.

       He explained to Suo Yang and told him that he had to go back to the company first.

       “Okay,” Suo Yang didn’t care about these things, he shook Shen Huiming’s hand, “Drive safely, go home after work and have a good rest afterwards.”

       Shen Huiming looked at him and smiled, and leaned over to give him a light hug.

       “It’s a wonderful feeling to have a boyfriend who cares.” Before Shen Huiming let go of him, he kissed his ear, “Go back, pack up, rest for a while, and remember to send me a message to report that you are safe when you have free time.”

       Suo Yang looked at him, and imitated his tone and said, “It’s a wonderful feeling to have a boyfriend who cares.”

       The two looked at each other and smiled.

       After Suo Yang got out of the car, Shen Huiming said, “When will you be back? So I can go and pick you up at the airport.”

       “You’re very busy, don’t worry about it.” Suo Yang stood outside the car with the eternal flower bear in his arms and slightly bent over to Shen Huiming, “I’ll contact you when I get back.”

       “Let’s talk about it when the time comes. I’ll go if I’m free.” Shen Huiming actually wanted to pick Suo Yang up, that feeling of picking up his boyfriend from work was probably just as fantastic. However, he really couldn’t be sure that he would have time when the time comes, and it would be bad to let Suo Yang’s expectations fall through.

       Suo Yang smiled at him and said softly, “See you later.”

       Shen Huiming sat in the car and watched him enter the building door before turning the car around and leaving.

       When Suo Yang was standing in the elevator, he suddenly felt that all of this was a bit unbelievable, that he had just started a relationship with someone.

       In the first five minutes after he and Shen Huiming were separated, Suo Yang had completely calmed down. He entered his home, thought for a moment, and placed the red eternal flower bear on the bedside table, replacing the glass vase he had not placed flowers since he bought it before.

       As he packed up his things, he began to carefully trace the development of the relationship between the two. From their first meeting at 30,000 feet to the love that passed through their eyes when they had just parted, everything actually developed quickly and reasonably.

       Shen Huiming was his well-deserved ideal lover.

       At least so far, the other party had not only fulfilled his spiritual fantasies of a lover—rationally understanding and considerate as well as tempting sexually and attractive, but also completely liberated and greatly satisfies his sexual desires.

       Shen Huiming personally demonstrated and explained the ‘body and soul’ that he could not understand in the book.

       He was blushing because of his uncontrolled desire for sex, and at the same time, he was fascinated by Shen Huiming, who had been slow to leave the scene in his mind.

       He had a lover who was both mentally and physically sexy.

       Suo Yang sat on the carpet, looked at the opened suitcase, and laughed softly.

       Suo Yang hesitated for a while before leaving, and in the end, he didn’t take his car. He dragged his suitcase and walked several hundred meters, waited for ten minutes, and got on the airport bus.

       Although he told Shen Huiming to just mind his own work and not to pick up the plane, he still held on to the 100% fantasy of expecting that there would be that one time when he got off the plane and returned home in Shen Huiming’s car.

       Coincidentally, he met a girl from the same group on the bus, He Tian, who was sitting in his car secretly wiping her tears because her boyfriend had cheated on her.

       He Tian saw him as soon as he came up, and immediately sat next to him with a smile and waved her hands.

       “Yang ge is in a good mood today?”

       Suo Yang was a little surprised, “How did you find out?”

       “Obviously, when I usually greet you, your smile doesn’t really reach the eyes.” He Tian said, “You’re so happy today, did you get a boyfriend?”

       Suo Yang smiled, “So obvious?”

       He Tian was surprised, “Really?”

       Suo Yang smiled instead of answering.

       “I didn’t expect it, I really didn’t expect it.” He Tian said, “Judging from this, we don’t even have a chance!”

       “What?”

       “A few days ago when we flew to London, we got together to chat and talk about who could catch you,” He Tian curled her lips and said jokingly, “In the end, before someone could make a move, suddenly you’re in the hands of someone else!”

       Suo Yang recalled the last time He Tian sat in his car and cried. It seemed that she had come out of the shadow of the break-up.

       It’s good, one shouldn’t sink like that because of a failed relationship.

       “Yang ge,” He Tian said, “I was joking with you just now, but I was really surprised.”

       “Surprised by what?”

       “I thought you’d long disregarded the world of mortals.” He Tian smiled, “The last time we chatted, I asked you why you aren’t in a relationship, and you said that fate didn’t come. However, fate is such a mysterious matter. When you answered like that, there is a feeling that the six senses have been severed.”

       Suo Yang laughed out loud, “How is that possible?”

       “Really, I was thinking at the time, it’s a pity for a handsome guy like you.” He Tian looked at him and smiled, “However, seeing that you are really in love now, I am envious and blessed, when will I find a good man…”

       Good man?

       Suo Yang turned his head and looked out the window. The heavy traffic in the evening made him miss Shen Huiming suddenly. He obviously had only been apart for a short time, but he already wanted to know what the other party was doing at this time.

       The feeling of worrying about your boyfriend was also quite amazing.

       “What kind of person is your girlfriend?” He Tian asked gossipingly, “Super pretty, right?!”

       Suo Yang smiled.

       Girlfriend?

       Super pretty?

       He thought for a while and said, “The most suitable person I can imagine.”

       He Tian covered her mouth, “Amazing.”

       Suo Yang looked puzzled.

       “Yang ge is really in love,” He Tian said, “The work machines can talk about love.”

       Suo Yang shook his head helplessly and smiled, he really didn’t understand how he had become such an image in the eyes of his colleagues.

       The two chatted all the way, in fact, most of them were mostly He Tian trying to gossips, and Suo Yang picked and chose to answer.

       In the past, Suo Yang didn’t like to talk about his personal affairs with others, but today he was very happy. Although his answers were always vague, He Tian had already created an image of a peerless gentle beauty in her brain.

       When he arrived at the airport, Suo Yang returned to his usual state.

       Kind and courteous to everything, but appropriately detached.

       It was just that everyone who met him today asked him if there was something good happened to him, saying that he looked different all over.

       It was indeed different.

       Everywhere was different from before.

       Suo Yang changed into his uniform, and there was a note written to him by Shen Huiming in his pocket.

       When he flew, Shen Huiming couldn’t be by his side, so he let this little note he had slipped to him accompany him through the clouds, flying in the blue sky.

===

       After Shen Huiming sent Suo Yang home, he went directly to the company. He then first received visiting clients and then began to deal with the work that had piled up. After such busy work, a few hours passed in a blink of an eye, and it was already dark when he raised his head and rubbed his sore neck.

       When he looked at the time, he realised that Suo Yang should have been taking off for a while by now.

       He stood up, poured himself a cup of coffee, and walked to the window with the steaming coffee cup in his hand.

       All the employees had already left work, including his assistant, and he was the only one left on the whole floor.

       The world had become very quiet, and the floor-to-ceiling windows with good sound insulation effect isolated him from the outside world, and the sounds of cars and people could not reach his ears.

       He looked up at the night sky, the weather was good. He could see the stars all over the sky, and a bright moon was hanging there, quietly watching the people on the ground.

       Shen Huiming took a sip of coffee, looked at the moon and thought about Suo Yang.

       Sure enough, the two of them were so busy, and neither of them could remember to send a message to the other.

       He smiled, not caring too much about it.

       Isn’t that how life also is? Everyone was busy yet still loves the other, think about each other when taking a break, and then invest in the next round of work.

       He finished drinking a cup of coffee standing by the window, and was about to return to his desk to continue working when he suddenly saw a flashing red dot in the sky.

       It was a plane flying over the city.

       Even though he knew that it couldn’t be the plane carrying Suo Yang, Shen Huiming still stopped his movements and stood there watching until the red dot disappeared from his sight.

       Shen Huiming hesitated for a moment, picked up his phone and sent a message to Suo Yang.

       He texted: Saw a plane and instantly missed you.

       It was a very cringy sentence, and Shen Huiming himself felt embarrassed after sending it.

       But he didn’t back down. It was no big deal to say some cringy things to his boyfriend.

       Shen Huiming knew that Suo Yang was flying and would not reply to him in a short time, so he put down his phone and continued to work while waiting for the time to pass and looking forward to their next meeting.

       Suo Yang’s flight today was to Rio de Janeiro. It was a 30-hour flight and could be said to be a long journey. He still devoted himself to his work as before. The only difference was that when a passenger showed interest in him and tried to stuff his business card into his pocket, he smiled and refused, and changed what he said to the person, “I’m sorry, we have regulations, we can’t accept it” to “I’m sorry, I have a lover.”

       At this time, the stars outside the cabin were shining brightly. When Suo Yang finished the cabin service and walked back, he glanced at the moon in the distance. He knew that although they were not together if Shen Huiming looked up at this time, they would see the same round moon.

Article 3: It is difficult to separate passion from love, infatuation from adoration.

       These words were not spoken by Shen Huiming, nor by Suo Yang, but it was printed in the book they had read together.

       In many ways, Suo Yang was convinced of this. Especially those who had been alone for a long time but had always longed for companionship, often made hasty decisions because of a momentary distraction, mistaking passion for love, and infatuation from adoration.

       But not him.

       Even though he had drunk a lot of wine, even though the atmosphere was always somewhat stimulating, he was still sober. For Suo Yang, his instincts had only pushed him to break down the wall he had built for himself and take a small step forward, but the rest of the step was a choice he had made with his senses.

       Today, so far, he had only been in a trance in the moment of climax, but at other times, he knew exactly what he was doing, who he was doing it with, and why he was willing to do it.

       Why?

       Of course, it was because he fell in love with Shen Huiming.

       Suo Yang lay on the carpet in front of the window and kissed Shen Huiming, still wearing the other party’s pyjamas.

       Two people who had showered smelled the same from head to toe, and from the outside to the inside. They were different people but had the most ambiguous connection.

       Shen Huiming looked at him through the moonlight, “Will you regret today’s impulsiveness after dawn tomorrow?”

       “I never make decisions on impulse,” Suo Yang lay there looking at him, his hands resting on the soft carpet, “let alone confusing passion and love.”

       Shen Huiming smiled, “So, you love me?”

       Suo Yang tilted his head and looked out of the window, his eyes were full of nourishing spring water, but he refused to answer.

       “Do you love me?” Shen Huiming gently pinched Suo Yang’s chin, forcing him to turn back and look at him, “Now, do you love me?”

       It was actually not easy for Suo Yang to say the word ‘love’. The word was too heavy, and he could not open his mouth without complete certainty and courage.

       “What are you afraid of?” Shen Huiming kissed the tip of his nose, “Or you’re still…shy?”

       Suo Yang laughed, “I was thinking, how can I make myself look more trustworthy.”

       “What?”

       “Isn’t it more practical to do something than to talk about love?” Suo Yang looked at him, “Words can be deceiving.”

       “Then, if you say you love me, are you lying to me?”

       Suo Yang discovered that Shen Huiming seemed to have come here specially to ‘subdued’ him. In the past, he could dismantle everyone’s schemes, but in front of Shen Huiming, he could only be dismantled.

       “No.” If he didn’t like it, he didn’t love it either. Suo Yang was someone who couldn’t even be bothered to lie.

       Shen Huiming also laughed, lowered his head and bit Suo Yang’s chin lightly, then pulled Suo Yang’s hand on the carpet to wrap his hand around his neck.

       “Let’s kiss again for a while.” Shen Huiming said, “I’ll kiss you until you are confused so you can say something I like to hear.”

       “Okay,” Suo Yang looked at him and smiled, “Then you can try.”

===

       It was still early when Suo Yang woke up, and when he counted on his fingers, he had only slept for less than four hours.

       Lying on a strange bed in a strange room, he didn’t feel the uneasiness he expected. His ears were filled with the steady breathing of Shen Huiming, who was still holding him and enjoying his sleep.

       At six o’clock in the morning, through the gaps in the curtains, one could guess that today was another fine day.

       It turned out that autumn was not bleak, but at some point, it was vibrant.

       He got out of bed carefully, washed up briefly, and took a glass of warm water.

       Suo Yang walked to the window of the living room. He looked outside and drank water leisurely, remembering the wish the two of them made by the fountain yesterday—a wish that tomorrow they both would be in a good mood.

       It seemed that the wish really came true.

       Suo Yang heard movement behind him but didn’t look back, he knew who it was.

       Shen Huiming hugged him from behind, leaned up sleepily, and rested his chin on his shoulder.

       “So early?” Shen Huiming said and yawned.

       Suo Yang smiled, “Did I wake you up?”

       “I woke up as soon as you moved.” Shen Huiming kissed his neck, “Why don’t you sleep a little longer?”

       “I can’t sleep anymore.” Suo Yang said, “Go to sleep, you don’t have to stay with me.”

       “That won’t work.” Shen Huiming just hugged him like that, and looked out the window with him, “If you sneak away behind my back, wouldn’t I suffer a big loss?”

       Suo Yang patted him helplessly.

       “Are you hungry?” Shen Huiming laughed enough, and asked softly, “Shall I make breakfast?”

       “You do?”

       “Did you forget what I said before?” Shen Huiming straightened up, took his hand and walked towards the kitchen, “I didn’t learn anything else during the years I went to school in the States, but I’m very good at cooking.”

       The two entered the kitchen. Suo Yang leaned against the door and looked at him with a smile.

       Shen Huiming opened the refrigerator and asked, “What do you want to eat? Chinese or Western? Or, one of each?”

       Suo Yang smiled, “Just cook a bowl of noodles.”

       Shen Huiming took out a pack of sliced noodles from the refrigerator, “You can cook noodles, but you can’t do it casually.”

       After he took out the noodles, Shen Huiming took out the tomatoes and eggs, scalded the tomatoes in boiling water, peeled off the skin, cut them into pieces, and stir-fried the eggs in a hot pan with cold oil.

       Suo Yang looked at him with a smile as he drank the water. The scene of Boss Shen, who had come out of a high-end office building, changed his trousers and shirt and wore his pyjamas to work in the kitchen, was also so heart-warming.

       Two bowls of sliced noodles with tomato and egg were ready soon. Shen Huiming and Suo Yang sat at the dining table with the noodles in their hands.

       “A very simple breakfast,” Shen Huiming said, “I will cook you a grand meal when I have a chance in the future.”

       Suo Yang picked up the chopsticks and picked up a piece of noodles, “Who would have thought that Boss Shen, who dominates the shopping mall, was also a good man at home?”

       Shen Huiming, who was praised just because of a bowl of noodles, was very happy, and said a little proudly, “Am I now having a plentiful harvest in my career and love?”

       Suo Yang ate his noodles with his head down, smiled and didn’t answer.

       “You,” Shen Huiming had no way to find, “you didn’t pamper me either.”

       Suo Yang was almost choked by his words, quickly swallowed the noodles in his mouth, and took a sip of water to keep the noodle down.

       Then, Suo Yang coughed lightly and said, “I’m a bit envious of you.”

       “Envious of me?”

       “Envious of your harvest in love and career.”

       After Suo Yang finished speaking, he lowered his head and snickered, and Shen Huiming, who was sitting in front of him, laughed until he was full even without eating noodles.

       It turned out that being in love was really interesting.

       Suo Yang, who never had any expectations for love, now had to admit that he really enjoyed being in love.

       People who were in love probably had fun doing anything as long as they were together, even if they didn’t do anything but lean on each other and drink a glass of water, it was all fun.

       Their ‘24-hour date’ was spent kissing.

       Twenty-four hours ago, he never thought the date would end like this.

       “I’m a bit sad.” Shen Huiming said, “It’s the first time I feel that 24 hours have passed so quickly.”

       “I feel okay,” Suo Yang said to him holding back a smile, “When I’m not flying, everything was almost the same as napping.”

       Shen Huiming pinched Suo Yang’s nose angrily and helplessly, “You’ve really learned to joke around.”

       Suo Yang laughed out loud, “Surprised?”

       “So cute.”

       “Using cute to describe a man…”

       “It means that I really like this man.” Shen Huiming said, “Do you think I’m cute?”

       Why is it so corny? Although he complained in his heart, Suo Yang said, “Kind of cute.”

       He closed his eyes and enjoyed Shen Huiming’s hug and kiss, enjoying the taste of cherry-soaked taste of wine that he had never experienced before.

       The 24-hour date was over, but every subsequent time they spent together would add up to a long and wonderful date. Suo Yang hoped that this date could continue until they were seventy and eighty, their hair turned grey, Shen Huiming retired from the company, and he could no longer stand in the cabin as a flight attendant.

       At that time, they could still kiss, still hug, and still look at the stars together at an altitude of 30,000 feet.

       However, at that time, they would be two old men who were travelling around the world, going to a church in Berlin to hold their wedding, and going to New York to meet old friends from the past. The two old men would hold hands until the end of their lives.

       His heart raced at the kiss and he suddenly realised that he seemed to be thinking too far ahead.

       The relationship had just begun, and he was already fantasizing about growing old together.

       “What are you thinking?” Shen Huiming pulled him up from the sofa.

       Suo Yang’s cheeks were flushed from the kiss, and he said to him, “Thinking that I’m flying to Rio de Janeiro tonight.”

       “Tonight?” Shen Huiming subconsciously turned to look at the time.

       “Yeah.” Suo Yang told him, “I have to catch the flight at eight o’clock in the evening and I have to be there by five.”

       “That’s less than eight hours,” Shen Huiming said, “You can catch up on sleep and take a good rest.”

       “Are you going to the office?” Suo Yang didn’t say anything, but he hoped that Shen Huiming could accompany him.

       “Well, there was a backlog of things waiting for me to deal with yesterday.” As he spoke, Shen Huiming had already stood up from the sofa.

       Suo Yang did not show any displeasure, but went to the bedroom with him, “It’s been a long day, then I…”

       He originally intended to go into the bedroom to change his clothes, and then go out with Shen Huiming. As the other party went to the office, he would go home to catch up on his sleep.

       In the end, just after following the other party into the room, before he could react, he was thrown on the bed.

       When he met Shen Huiming’s smiling eyes, Suo Yang knew he had been fooled.

       He said with a mixture of tears and laughter, “Why are you still doing this trick?”

       “Because I want to see you acting like a baby,” Shen Huiming said, “I thought you would hug me and not let me go.”

       Suo Yang laughed, “I’m not that kind of person.”

       “I know, but what if?” Shen Huiming said, “You won’t show it to others, maybe you will show it to me?”

       Suo Yang looked at him quietly and bit his lip lightly.

       “Want to see?” Suo Yang asked.

       “Can you act like a baby?”

       Actually… no.

       He couldn’t act like a baby, but Suo Yang knew how to do other things.

       He hugged Shen Huiming and turned over on the bed, “Don’t go, sleep with me.”

       He pulled off the quilt and wrapped them around them.

       At a quarter past nine in the morning, Shen Huiming unbuttoned Suo Yang’s pyjamas with his fingers.

       Was it just sleeping?

       Of course not.

       Anyway, they still had eight hours, Suo Yang only needed six hours to catch up on sleep, and the other two hours could be used to do things they loved to do.

       When Suo Yang walked out of the bar behind Shen Huiming, he felt like he had stepped on a sponge, as if he had eaten too many cherries soaked in wine and got himself completely drunk.

       As he pushed the door open, the autumn night wind didn’t show mercy to them at all, and the slightest sweep of it sent a shiver down Suo Yang’s spine.

       Shen Huiming turned his head to look at him and took his hand to walk directly towards the parking place.

       Although it was night, there were quite a lot of people on this street, and it was too eye-catching for two men to walk in the crowd holding hands.

       Shen Huiming didn’t care, and neither did Suo Yang at the moment.

       Suo Yang just looked at Shen Huiming, looked at the ends of his hair blown by the wind, and thought about the sentence this person said before, “As soon as you appear, I can’t see anyone else. So, it can only be you. “

       It can only be you.

       Suo Yang remembered this sentence.

       They walked through the night like this, passing by a shop where a song that Sawyer liked very much when he was at school was playing on the stereo.

       I want to take you and run away, to the farthest town.

       I want to take you with me and run away, to be the happiest person.

       He suddenly had the illusion that he was running away with Shen Huiming, and the thrill of that deviation made him ecstatic.

       He had been too disciplined over the past 20 years, and the only thing that had not developed according to his parents’ wishes seemed to be his sexual orientation.

       He had always disliked excitement and adventure and put himself in a safe shell. Now Shen Huiming came along, cracked his eggshell, and pulled him out.

       Even the evening wind tasted like wine, a cherry-flavoured fruit wine that tasted exactly the same as the one in Shen Huiming’s mouth.

       Suo Yang smiled as the other party took his hand, and quickly found the car parked there.

       Shen Huiming only opened the door of the back seat, and Suo Yang glanced at him. When the two looked at each other, there seemed to be some secret signal in it that others could not comprehend.

       Suo Yang got in, and Shen Huiming got into the car after him.

       As soon as the car door closed, before Suo Yang could turn around, he was kissed by Shen Huiming who came up to him, holding the back of his head.

       The space inside the car was cramped but it was enough for a kiss.

       Shen Huiming whispered in Suo Yang’s ear, “Coming with me?”

       Suo Yang clasped his fingers instead of answering.

       Shen Huiming smiled softly, took out his mobile phone, and called for a chauffeur. While waiting for the chauffeur to arrive, the two just held hands and kissed.

       It turned out that kissing was such a stress-relieving thing.

       It was as if the kisses weren’t enough and they didn’t want to stop. At this time, the brain was completely empty and just enjoy the kiss itself.

       Until the call from the chauffeur came, Shen Huiming had to put his finger on Suo Yang’s lips.

       “Wait a minute.” Shen Huiming looked at the somewhat misty-eyed Suo Yang with a smile and rubbed his fingers lightly on his lips.

       Suo Yang obediently sat there watching him, waiting for him, and listening to his phone call with the chauffeur.

       After Shen Huiming hung up the phone, he leaned over and kissed Suo Yang.

       “Wait for me.” Shen Huiming turned around and got out of the car to meet the chauffeur.

       When Shen Huiming came back, the chauffeur sat in the driver’s seat. Suo Yang had sobered up a bit. He opened a gap in the car window and sat in the back seat.

       Shen Huiming gave his leg a gentle squeeze, “Are you okay?”

       Suo Yang smiled as a response.

       After calming down for a few minutes, Suo Yang began to feel a little embarrassed.

       He still didn’t take things easy on this kind of thing. He enjoyed it dizzily at the moment and then began to feel ashamed afterwards.

       The chauffeur confirmed the address with Shen Huiming again and then turned on the navigation.

       Suo Yang had never been to other people’s houses since middle school, and even when he was a child, he seldom visited with his parents. His parents were not the kind of people who like to visit relatives and friends, and he didn’t want to disturb others or be disturbed.

       ‘Home’ was a very private place where the most essential parts of a person could be exposed.

       Now, Suo Yang was following Shen Huiming on his way home, and he would soon know what kind of person Shen Huiming was.

       Halfway through the car, Shen Huiming suddenly asked the chauffeur to pull over and stop the car, saying that he was going to a convenience store to buy something.

       The chauffeur didn’t know what he wanted to buy, but Suo Yang knew it in his heart.

       He glanced at Shen Huiming, who just smiled at him and said to him softly, “I’ll be back soon.”

       Shen Huiming got out of the car and walked quickly into the convenience store on the side of the road.

       As he said, he came back soon, with a bag in his hand, and it was impossible to see what was in it.

       Back in the car, Shen Huiming thanked the driver and told him that he could go.

       Suo Yang hardly dared to breathe hard. At this moment, he seemed to return to the first day of flying, nervous but looking forward to it.

       He wasn’t sure if the next developments would make this adventure more amazing, but he was sure that his decision was at least the right one.

       Whether more wonderful or not, he should and wanted to experience it.

       Shen Huiming was the one he chose, at least emotionally he was satisfied.

       For the rest of the journey, Shen Huiming held Suo Yang’s hand all the time, and the two of them did not communicate too much more, nor did they need to. It was enough to just wait quietly for the rest of the day.

       The car drove into the neighbourhood and parked in the underground parking garage.

       The money was paid and the chauffeur was sent off.

       The two stood in the garage, looked at each other, and then kissed each other.

       They didn’t need to pretend to be reserved, it was too unnecessary for them.

       Shen Huiming took Suo Yang back home, a three-hundred-square-metre flat-floor residence, and he entered the house directly as soon as the elevator door opened.

       On the porch, before Shen Huiming untied Suo Yang’s belt, he asked again, “Are you drunk?”

       Suo Yang looked at him in the dark, and replied, “Very sober.”

       The night was always enchanting, and so were the people in the night.

       On a night full of wine fragrance, two slightly drunk people soaked in the liquor brewed by each other, sinking a little, getting a little confused, and falling a little into each other’s world.

       This adventure was indeed wonderful, and it was even more unpredictable than Suo Yang imagined. He felt as if he had become an artist’s overturned palette. all the colours mixed together, only to rub out an abstract painting on this bed that could only be imagined.

===

       Time seemed to suddenly become precious. No matter how tired the two of them were, they were reluctant to just fall asleep like this.

       Shen Huiming got up and wanted to get a glass of water for Suo Yang, but before he could get off the bed, Suo Yang grabbed his wrist.

       He turned around and asked with a smile, “What’s wrong?”

       Suo Yang lay there watching him. He didn’t have the nerve to say that he just subconsciously didn’t want him to go away.

       “I’m going to get you some water.” Shen Huiming said, “I remember there’s honey at home, drink some so you don’t get a headache tomorrow.”

       “I’ll join you.” Suo Yang was actually not comfortable moving, but he sat up anyway.

       Shen Huiming found his own pyjamas to give to Suo Yang, and the two walked slowly from the bedroom to the kitchen.

       As they passed by the living room, Suo Yang glanced at the clock hanging on the wall, it was past one o’clock.

       Suo Yang counted how many hours were left in his mind, and began to hope that the time would pass more slowly.

       Up to now, Suo Yang has really begun to believe that the closeness of the naked body could indeed quickly change the relationship between two people. No matter how compatible he and Shen Huiming were before, they still seemed to be separated by a thin veil, and the two of them would feel each other’s palm lines with their palms pressed against the veil, which always felt a bit unreal.

       But after tonight, or rather, after the hours just passed, that layer of veil disappeared.

       He followed Shen Huiming into the kitchen, and the other party took two cushions and put them on the chair, “Sit here and wait for me.”

       Suo Yang went to the chair and sat down, watching Shen Huiming getting busy over there for him.

       Shen Huiming took a cup of warm water, scooped out some honey, added it, and stirred gently with a spoon.

       He walked back, handed the cup to Suo Yang, and before bending down to sit down, he kissed Suo Yang lightly on the forehead.

       Suo Yang’s ears felt hot from this soft and intimate kiss. He had done everything, but his heartbeat would still speed up because of such a move.

       He lowered his head to drink water, and Shen Huiming sat beside him to accompany him.

       Suo Yang drank half of his glass, looked up at the people around him, and passed the glass over.

       Shen Huiming took it with a smile and took a sip, “It seems a bit sweet.”

       “It’s alright.” Suo Yang didn’t like anything too sweet, but he felt this cup of honey water was just right, just like Shen Huiming was just right for him.

       Shen Huiming held the cup in both hands and kept looking at Suo Yang.

       “What’s the matter?” Suo Yang felt a little uncomfortable when he saw him and pursed his lips after asking.

       Shen Huiming smiled, “I still want to kiss you.”

       Shen Huiming put down the cup, took advantage of Suo Yang’s lack of response, and leaned forward to kiss Suo Yang.

       He really couldn’t get enough kisses.

       Maybe this was the feeling of falling in love with someone. Wishing to keep kissing and hugging all the time, and no one could escape this curse.

       When the two came out of the kitchen, they sat by the window again, under the pretense of ‘watching the moon’ because they didn’t want to sleep.

       The two were close to each other, and as soon as Shen Huiming sat down, he took Suo Yang’s hand.

       After a carnival, what was left was not loneliness and emptiness, but rather an endless tenderness.

       This was a very different kind of love from what Suo Yang had once thought, on this night he confirmed that he had been too pessimistic about relationships in the past.

       He looked at the moon outside the window, sat on a strange carpet in a strange house as he wore Shen Huiming’s pyjamas, and thought about whether he was a little too clumsy just now.

       He thought about it, and then he laughed.

       “What are you laughing at?” Shen Huiming asked him softly.

       “I’m laughing at myself.” Suo Yang said, “I always think highly of myself and feel that I am not the kind of person who is greedy for pleasure, but I never thought that I simply overestimated myself.”

       “You can’t say that,” Shen Huiming squeezed his hand, and the shoulders of the two touched each other, and they could feel each other’s body temperature. “If it wasn’t me today, you might still be who you thought you were.”

       Suo Yang laughed out loud, “Aren’t you being conceited?”

       “Yes, I’m being conceited.” Shen Huiming lowered his head and fiddled with Suo Yang’s fingers, which were white and slender, beautiful and powerful. He thought of those hands that were tightly clutching his shoulders just now, and that scene was indeed worthy of his pride.

       “We still have seven hours.” Shen Huiming said, “Use these seven hours to seriously consider a question.”

       “What’s the question?” Suo Yang asked.

       “Do you want to accept me as your boyfriend?” Shen Huiming looked at Suo Yang and said solemnly, “Seven hours to think about this question, is that enough time?”

       “It doesn’t take seven hours.” Suo Yang turned around, facing Shen Huiming, he smiled, leaned forward and kissed him, “I’m not an indecisive person.”

       Shen Huiming looked at him, “Have you got an answer?”

       “Before I came here.” Suo Yang said, “Nice to meet you, my Mr. Shen.”

       This was the first time Shen Huiming had expressed his desire for Suo Yang so bluntly, and he wanted to be more honest.

       Perhaps the noble saints could get rid of the fascination with the body and only indulge in the splendour of the soul, but in the end, they were not saints, and they didn’t want to be saints. There was nothing wrong with being an ordinary person who not only yearned for the labyrinth-like spiritual world of your beloved but also indulged in their poppy-like skin and breath. Shen Huiming admitted his vulgarity, and he was not afraid to reveal his vulgarity to Suo Yang.

       The music started again, and the lazy female voice hummed in a language they didn’t understand.

       Suo Yang who had been drinking but was not even slightly tipsy, felt a little dizzy as he heard Shen Huiming’s words. The other party’s words were stronger than the wine Zhou Mo had handed him.

       It was not that he had never heard anyone say such things to him before.

       But it felt different.

       Those naked invitations or almost harassing physical contact made Suo Yang feel extremely uncomfortable, how could that situation be compared to what Shen Huiming had said to him?

       His consciousness was suddenly pulled back to the night not long ago when Shen Huiming sent him to the taxi and watched him leave. After he got home and opened the door, he sat on the stool by the door when the other party called.

       Suo Yang dared not recall that night easily, he felt that he had done a very disgraceful thing.

       He got aroused by a man’s voice on the phone in the middle of the night and even allowed his desire to set fire to his body, even though he was drunk at the time, which was still a bit out of line.

       But instinct. Human instinct sometimes made you completely powerless to resist.  You know it was shameful, but you kept sinking in this shame.

       Just like now, Suo Yang should’ve said something to ease the almost frozen atmosphere, but he only said one word when he opened his mouth, “Oh.”

       Shen Huiming was still nervous at first, wondering if the other party would be angry, but when he saw Suo Yang’s blank “oh”, he couldn’t help but laugh out loud.

       Suo Yang looked at him, “What’s wrong?”

       “Nothing, I think you are cute.” Shen Huiming picked up the dice again, “Shall we continue?”

       Suo Yang had no intention to continue, his whole body was now haunted by a strange thought as if Shen Huiming had planted poison in his body, and now the poison had gradually started to take effect.

       As Suo Yang regained his grip on the dice he realised that this time his instinct might have the upper hand.

       It should be from the third time he met Shen Huiming, that he had accepted the existence of this person as driven by fate, and after this concept was established, when he was getting along with the other party, every minute he spent with the other person again was a step towards them, not backwards.

       He had long ago set an ending for each other, as long as there was no major landslide in the process, he had already accepted it.

       During this period of getting along, Suo Yang had been trying to find the place where the collapse might have occurred but found that the more he searched, the more he wanted to follow the other party.

       A new round was won by Shen Huiming.

       In fact, Shen Huiming could clearly feel that at the moment, Suo Yang was out of his element, a situation that started when he uttered those words.

       This was actually a good sign. It showed that Suo Yang was not a saint, just like him.

       Who wanted to be a saint? They only want the ordinary happiness of ordinary life, and the ordinary but unique love and solace.

       Shen Huiming looked at him and asked, “I want to know what I do that would make you feel uncomfortable.”

       Suo Yang looked down at the dice in front of him and didn’t answer for a long time.

       “Is it difficult to answer? Then I’ll ask you another way,” Shen Huiming said, “Is there anything I’ve done so far that makes you feel uncomfortable?”

       Suo Yang said simply, “No.”

       No.

       Neither did the phrase ‘makes me want to kiss you’ just now.

       Shen Huiming smiled.

       Originally, Shen Huiming wanted to say that this was the end of the game, but Suo Yang became excited, and before he could speak, he had already rolled the dice in his hand.

       It was as if the other party had many questions to ask and many answers to find.

       Shen Huiming was happy to see him like this, as he himself had said before, his beloved’s refusal to ask questions of himself was tantamount to not being interested in him, which was not a good feeling.

       He wanted to tell Suo Yang everything, even things that were so private that only he knew about them.

       In the following rounds, Suo Yang was bullied miserably by ‘luck’. Clearly, he had so many questions to ask, but he kept losing.

       With another game, Shen Huiming won three consecutive victories, and he couldn’t bear it anymore, so he smiled helplessly and said, “Then I’ll ask… what do you want to ask me?”

       Suo Yang was a little aggrieved because he had lost several times in a row, and was drinking to dispel his sorrows. When he heard Shen Huiming’s question, he originally wanted to tell the other party not to have to accommodate him, but after he thought about it, he felt that there was no need to be so fussy.

       “I’ll ask one last question.” Suo Yang already had three glasses and four wine bottles empty in front of him, he had drunk a lot. “The cufflinks you dropped on me on Zhou Mo’s birthday, did you put them there on purpose?”

       Shen Huiming smiled, “You still remember that cufflink?”

       “You did it on purpose, didn’t you?” Suo Yang actually not only remembered but also cared about it a lot.

       If it wasn’t for this cufflink, he and Shen Huiming might not have met later, and then the story between the two of them would probably have ended that day.

       Shen Huiming took a sip of his wine, chuckled and said, “If I say yes, will it affect your judgement of me?”

       After getting an affirmative answer, Suo Yang looked at him with a smile on his chin.

       “No.” Suo Yang said, “But if you say no, then it will.”

       In fact, this matter couldn’t be more obvious. The reason why he had to ask was to know whether Shen Huiming would deceive him in order to maintain the so-called ‘fatalism of love’.

       Fortunately, Shen Huiming was not only smart but also upright in a timely manner.

       “At that time, I took the opportunity to play a little trick to create opportunities for myself.” Shen Huiming said, “You also know how difficult it is to ask you to meet.”

       Suo Yang looked at him with a smile in his eyes, satisfied with Shen Huiming’s answer.

       “Let’s do it one last time, an exciting game.” Shen Huiming picked up the dice again and proposed, “Do you dare to play with me?”

       Suo Yang sat up straight, heard him say ‘an exciting game’, and subconsciously licked his lips, “What game?”

       “For the last time, no more truth.” Shen Huiming looked at him with a sly smile, “Let’s play a dare.”

       A dare? Of course Suo Yang was not afraid, because he was already taking risks.

       “Okay.” Suo Yang picked up the dice and shook it with Shen Huiming.

       When the dust settled on the result of the last game between the two, Suo Yang looked at the dice on the table and his breathing went haywire because he lost.

       The feeling of both nervousness and some anticipation made him restless.

       Suo Yang seldom or almost never felt this way. He had always been calm and restrained, but today he was on the verge of losing his composure.

       Shen Huiming was very satisfied with the result, his dice points were only a little higher than Suo Yang’s, but only by this point, the other party had to obey his orders and embark on a ‘dare’.

       “What do you need me to do?” Suo Yang raised his head and asked him, willing to admit defeat.

       Shen Huiming looked at him and smiled, then got up and walked to him.

       Suo Yang’s gaze was always glued to the other person as he watched that person get up, watching that person approach, and watching that person stop in front of him. He sat there looking up at Shen Huiming, and when he was wondering what the other party was going to do, a kiss fell on his face.

       A kiss as simple as a seal of approval, and Shen Huiming’s name was stamped on his face.

       Perhaps, if there was no music, Suo Yang’s heartbeat would be heard by everyone present. But fortunately, the music never stopped, and he hadn’t been exposed yet.

       The faint breath of wine exhaled by Shen Huiming touched Suo Yang’s skin, penetrated into his body along the pores, and melted into his churning blood. Just for a moment, Suo Yang felt drunk.

       It turned out that this was his ‘dare’.

       When Shen Huiming straightened up, he said very gentlemanly, “Thank you.”

       He spoke so sincerely that Suo Yang almost thought that he had really made some generous contribution to the other party.

       Suo Yang stared at him blankly, the place where he was kissed seemed to be burning with fire.

       The century-old bell tower not far away could actually make a sound, and the deep and heavy chime that wouldn’t even be drowned out by the music in the bar just came through.

       Dang… Dang… Dang…

       One time, two times, three times…

       Each stroke seemed to hit not the ancient bell, but Suo Yang’s heart.

       When the bell finished ringing, Shen Huiming said to Suo Yang, “We still have ten hours.”

       As soon as he finished speaking, Suo Yang, who had been sitting there looking up at him, suddenly put his arms around his neck, pulling the man towards himself and kissing him.

       The fire that had originally only stayed on my cheeks was not enough to stop there and spread completely.

       This was something Shen Hui Ming had not expected.

       It was also completely out of Suo Yang’s own plan.

       This isn’t a gay bar, right? The people who come here may be reminiscing with old friends or gathering with colleagues. The action of the two men kissing attracted the attention of the people around them.

       But it was almost the first time in his adult life that Suo Yang disregarded the eyes of passersby. He even raised his other hand and wrapped it around Shen Huiming’s neck, deepening the kiss.

       Shen Huiming was surprised but responded quickly.

       There was nothing more suitable for a lingering and long kiss than this moment.

       Suo Yang’s sense of shame came late after the kiss was over. He had always felt that intimacy in public was inappropriate and disrespectful to others, but he didn’t expect that one day he would do this kind of thing himself.

       His cheeks were flushed, and he didn’t know whether it was from the alcohol or the kiss just now.

       But despite the shame he felt, he just couldn’t look at the people around him, and when faced with Shen Huiming, he could still look at each other calmly.

       Two-thirds of his kisses were based on instinct, and the remaining one-third were still rationally thought.

       This was what he initiated and what he wanted, and what he showed was what he wants to express.

       “Drunk?” Shen Huiming squatted beside him, put his hand lightly on his lap, and looked up at the person sitting there.

       Suo Yang smiled, “Do you think I kissed you because I was drunk?”

       He took the remaining half glass of wine on the table and drank it down. When he put down the glass, he even picked up the wine-soaked cherries.

       He brought the cherry to Shen Huiming’s mouth and watched him open his mouth to eat it.

       “I’m kissing you because I want to.”

       Neither of them really believed that wishing on a fountain would have any effect, but it was kind of heartwarming to give each other the chance to make a wish themselves.

       They left the small square, and the two had dinner.

       After they went out of the restaurant, Shen Huiming said, “There are still 13 hours left.”

       Suo Yang stood in the autumn night wind, looked at a few scattered leaves from a tree in the courtyard of the restaurant, and said, “How time flies.”

       A few years ago, Suo Yang was the kind of person who would plan out what he would do each hour in advance after waking up, for fear of wasting any of his days, but this habit had gradually disappeared in the past two years, mainly because he found himself getting tired more and more easily, so he simply used all the rest time to sleep or relax.

       It had been a while since he’d let a day pass so full.

       “It’s getting dark,” Suo Yang said as he stretched out, “Let’s go for a drink.”

       Of course, such an item was certainly in one of Shen Huiming’s plans, but he thought he would be the one to bring it up.

       Today’s Suo Yang always took him by surprise, some actions of the other party made him respond emotionally, and he felt that he was not the only one who was enthusiastic about the two of them.

       “Are you going to choose the place?” Shen Huiming asked.

       “You choose.” Suo Yang said, “I haven’t been to a bar for a long time, so I don’t know.”

       Shen Huiming smiled, “I haven’t been to one for a long time.”

       When the two got into the car, Shen Huiming turned on the navigation and deliberately asked, “Are we going to have a small drink tonight, or are we going to get drunk without going home?”

       Suo Yang leaned on the back of the chair and said softly with a smile, “It depends on how things are.”

       Shen Huiming didn’t take Suo Yang to a place that was too noisy, so after much deliberation, he decided to go to a bar.

       He parked the car, entered the door and went upstairs.

       Suo Yang chose a seat by the window, with a wide glass window to look out, and the angle of view was very wide. From here, he could see the clock tower that had been there for hundreds of years.

       Shen Huiming ordered a drink, “The last time we drank alone was in New York.”

       It seemed like it happened just yesterday, and it seemed like a long time has passed.

       Suo Yang said, “But last time I didn’t drink to my heart’s content.”

       Shen Huiming looked at him with a smile, “Are you going to enjoy to your heart’s content today?”

       Suo Yang looked at him without speaking, feeling some mixed emotions.

       Suo Yang hadn’t really accepted anyone for so many years, and increasingly felt that he might not be able or fit for a relationship, but when he faced Shen Huiming, he always had the feeling that his ground was shaking.

       No one had ever made him feel like this before, so he offered to drink.

       Suo Yang knew himself well enough to know that once the alcohol level in his body rises to a certain level, his self-defence system would automatically be switched on, just like last time at Zhou Mo’s birthday party. Before he was sure that something was wrong with him, he had forced himself to calmly leave. He had a good grasp of his tolerance and would not make a fool of himself. Suo Yang had always been confident that he could balance his sanity and instinct. However, when he was too sober, his sanity would always deaden his instincts, even if he wanted to happen, he would be persuaded by reason. Therefore, today he wanted his instincts to come out to play, and all he needed was a little push, half a step forward was enough.

       As a person who had always been cautious, this was a rare risk that Suo Yang had taken in years.

       He leaned forward, leaned his elbows on the wooden tabletop, dragged his chin with his palms, and looked at Shen Huiming with a smile.

       “Yeah.” Suo Yang said, “I’m in a good mood today, and I want to have a few more drinks.”

       All people have desires.

       Suo Yang knew very well that he was just an ordinary person, he was not that noble, and he also had temptations that he could not resist.

       The drink was brought to him and Suo Yang picked up the glass.

       Some people were naturally attracted to each other. Suo Yang, who had not started drinking, just looked at Shen Huiming and felt that the other party was constantly hitting his innate mental state.

       The two lightly clinked glasses and Suo Yang closed his eyes as he drank.

       The mojito with mint leaves floats in the mouth with just the right amount of sweetness from the greenness.

       Just one sip of drink was not enough to make Suo Yang drunk, but when he raised his head to drink, the curvature of his jaw and the twitching of his Adam’s apple was enough to intoxicate Shen Huiming.

       Maybe the bar itself was an ambiguous place, where alcohol not only existed in the glass but also spread in the air.

       Suo Yang had very fair skin, and his face quickly turned red, but his eyes were still clear. When he looked at Shen Huiming, he gave Shen Huiming a feeling that the the feeling of a scarlet temptation that was ready to come out but was being restrained.

       This was a fatal seduction for Shen Huiming, and he even began to wonder if he shouldn’t drink with Suo Yang at all, for he was worried that he would do something to offend him.

       There were always times when people lose control.

       Shen Huiming could only do his best.

       As Suo Yang himself said, he would like to have more drinks.

       The thing about alcohol was that sometimes the more you drink, the more you don’t want to stop.

       Suo Yang had always been measured, but today he was inexplicably wronged by drinking, and he didn’t know what he was wronged for, let alone for whom he was felt wronged. He didn’t say anything, just drank one cup after another, and then looked at Shen Huiming with a smile.

       The atmosphere of the bar was ambiguous, the music was also ambiguous, and the two people sitting face to face were also ambiguous.

       Suo Yang said, “I thought you would take me to a lively bar.”

       As he spoke, Shen Huiming had just returned from downstairs with another drink.

       “What? Want to dance?” Shen Huiming stood by the table, or rather, stood next to Suo Yang. He looked down at the person sitting there as he uncapped the bottle of fruit wine.

       Suo Yang was still sober, and of all the drinks today, none were stronger than the one Zhou Mo had brought him last time.

       He looked up at Shen Huiming, smiled and said, “I don’t want to, it’s too noisy there.”

       Shen Huiming put the opened wine by Suo Yang’s hand and sat back across from him again.

       Suo Yang looked at Shen Huiming, listened to the song, and stroked the wine bottle with his fingers.

       “Let’s play a game.” Shen Huiming said suddenly.

       “What game?”

       Shen Huiming took out two boxes of dice from the desk drawer, “Compare the number, and then tell the truth.”

       Suo Yang laughed, “Such a childish game?”

       “Yes, because I find that it’s always me asking you questions and you don’t seem to want to know me too much.” Shen Huiming pushed one of the boxes of dice to Suo Yang’s hand, “Or, if you want, we don’t have to play, you can ask me questions directly, and I will answer them in every detail.”

       “Why?” Suo Yang put his palm on the dice.

       “Because I want you to get to know me better.” Shen Huiming replied seriously, “I want you to know everything you want to know. The people I like are not interested in me, and that makes me frustrated.”

       Suo Yang stared at him for a while.

       It wasn’t that he didn’t want to ask, and it wasn’t that he wasn’t interested.

       Suo Yang was just used to only asking others  “How can I help you?” and “Can I help you?”

       Before meeting Shen Huiming, he never gave others a chance to really ask him real questions. Even if he did ask, it was always in a roundabout way and he would not give a clear answer.

       He didn’t like being probed and every trace of him was studied like he was a specimen.

       But obviously, this principle did not apply to Shen Huiming.

       He also wanted to ask Shen Huiming a question, but he was worried that he would offend him.

       The two looked at each other. Suo Yang took a sip of wine suddenly, and when he put down the bottle, he smiled and shook the dice in his hand.

       “I’ll guess big.”

       “Then I’ll guess small.” Shen Huiming looked at him and smiled, and the two rolled the dice together and opened them at the same time.

       Suo Yang won.

       This was exactly what Shen Huiming had in mind.

       Suo Yang looked down at the dice and hesitated for a long time before finally asking, “Have you ever been in a stable relationship?”

       Shen Huiming originally thought that Suo Yang would remain tense, but unexpectedly, this time he finally gave up struggling.

       “No.” Shen Huiming said, “It’s shameful to say that you are the first person to make me think this way.”

       Suo Yang laughed softly, didn’t say anything more, and continued to roll the dice.

       Suo Yang won the second round again.

       “Why me?”

       “The book you gave me tells me that this is the fate of love,” Shen Huiming paused, “but if I were to speak for myself, the only reason is that as soon as you appear, I can’t see anyone else. So, it can only be you.”

       This wasn’t the first time they had talked about their relationship, and the purpose of Shen Huiming’s presence at Suo Yang’s side had been clear to them from the start.

       It was just that, in the past, the discussion was always done in a light-hearted and joking manner, but now it was very serious.

       “I’m nothing much.” Suo Yang said.

       “As far as that is concerned, it’s up to me.” Shen Huiming looked at him, “Your image with me is defined by me.”

       “What kind of image do I have with you?”

       Shen Huiming laughed, “Hey, why are you cheating? How many questions have you asked after winning once?”

       Suo Yang was startled, then smiled helplessly.

       However, in the next round, it was Shen Huiming who won.

       “Did you have fun spending time with me today?”

       Shen Huiming had other questions he wanted to ask; Suo Yang’s views on some topics—love or sex, and there were many things he wanted to know how Suo Yang saw them, but the most urgent thing was to know whether the other party was happy because of him today.

       Not just happy, but happy because he felt happy.

       “Very happy.” Suo Yang said, “I haven’t been this happy for a long time.”

       Before Shen Huiming could say more, Suo Yang had already started to roll the dice.

       “I won.” Suo Yang surprisingly seemed a little eager, “What kind of image do I have with you?”

       Shen Huiming lightly pointed to the empty wine glass with his finger, and there was a piece of green mint leaf lying in the wine glass, which was the glass that Suo Yang used to drink Mojito just now, “Such an image.”

       Suo Yang didn’t understand and looked at him quizzically.

       “It looks clear and tastes refreshing, but when you really drink it, you can get drunk very quickly.”

       Suo Yang smiled softly, “Get rid of these vague metaphors, I want to hear the simplest answer.”

       “Before you were indifferent and restrained, and politely kept a safe distance from everyone.” Shen Huiming took a sip of wine, then looked at him again, “Then…”

       Suo Yang waited quietly.

       “I’m a little drunk.” Shen Huiming said, “Maybe some words will go too far.”

       Suo Yang still didn’t say anything, just looked at him.

       “Then occasionally I think you’re actually quite cute, and as for now,” Shen Huiming looked straight at Suo Yang, the music in the store was in the gap between the two songs, and he said softly, “Now, it’s this moment of you looking at me that’s sexy and makes me want to kiss you. “

       Suo Yang found that Shen Huiming, who was playing games with the students, had a childish cuteness to him. He was very curious how Shen Huiming’s staff would react if they saw their boss here asking for praise like a schoolboy who had won a certificate.

       Six people entered through the gap under the table and went straight to the corridor, where they got another part of the torn diary.

       The corridor was glowing with an eerie green light, and there was no end in sight.

       On one side of the narrow corridor were six photographs of the students, each photo with a corresponding name underneath.

       “So, this is us?” A boy pointed to the obviously old photo on the wall and said, “Then this is Zhang Xiaohui who wants to kill us! It’s a girl!”

       Suo Yang and Shen Huiming walked last, looked up and followed the direction he pointed, and found Zhang Xiaohui’s photo was facing a room with a sign by the door一Principal’s Office.

       There was a gap in the door of the principal’s office, and it was pitch black inside. Looking through the gap, one couldn’t see anything. The boy in front of me was about to push the door in, and before he did so, he said, “There’s no one in there, is there?”

       Probably this student just opened his mouth to say whatever. As soon as he finished speaking, the door opened, and he saw a person sitting behind the principal’s desk.

       There were screams one after another, and Shen Hui Ming, who was at the end, subconsciously protected Suo Yang in front of him.

       Suo Yang was actually not frightened by the people inside, because he was blocked by the people in front of him, so he couldn’t see what was going on inside. However, he was completely frightened by the cries of those people.

       Shen Huiming turned sideways directly, half-protecting Suo Yang in his arms, and turned to look inside, wanting to confirm what was going on.

       When Shen Huiming turned his head to look at Suo Yang, he happened to lock eyes with him. The two were about the same height, and they were still close at this moment, with the tips of their noses almost touching each other.

       The two looked at each other for a few seconds, and Suo Yang asked softly, “What’s wrong?”

       At this time, they heard the girl say, “What are you shouting for? That is just a dummy!”

       When they heard her words, Suo Yang and Shen Huiming were taken aback, and then both laughed.

       “It didn’t scare you, did it?” Shen Huiming stepped aside and followed everyone inside, but still protected Suo Yang behind him.

       “Their scream startled me.” Suo Yang looked at Shen Huiming’s back and secretly smiled behind him.

       Actually, Suo Yang never told Shen Huiming about one thing—when he was in elementary school, he watched horror movies alone at home in the middle of the night, and he didn’t feel scared at all.

       This kind of scene setting really didn’t scare Suo Yang. If there was a real NPC in it, Suo Yang could even chat with the other party and directly set out the way to clear the level.

       All these virtual things, whether it was a movie or a game, did not scare him. He was a flight attendant who must remain rational and calm in the cabin to appease the passengers and guide everyone to help themselves when he was in a real crisis.

       They entered the principal’s office, and Suo Yang still stood with Shen Huiming all the time. The two who had never played the escape room had roughly found the way to pass the previous level and passed the next three rooms very smoothly. The torn diary had also been pieced together, and the overall context of the story had been fully restored. Normally, they should be able to go out.

       But the problem was that several people were trapped in the corridor, and there was no door to get out.

       “So that means the last level should be the corridor.” One of the boys said, “But there’s nothing in the corridor!”

       One of the boys got a bit anxious and just picked up the walkie-talkie to get help from the shop assistant.

       Suo Yang and Shen Huiming, who were originally pulled to make up the numbers, couldn’t express any opinions, but the boy who asked for help was ‘cleaned up’ by his teammates while calling the shop assistant.

       However, in the end, it was only because they asked for help that they found a way through the level.

       In the last level, there was no password to be cracked, but six people need to go back to the six rooms where they came back and wait there alone for the bell to ring after class before going out.

       Two boys muttered fear in their mouths, but it was impossible to do it without being separated.

       Six people walked back along the corridor, to the door of one room, and said goodbye to one person.

       The scariest part of the set was the principal’s office with dummies and the laboratory with human organs. These two rooms naturally fell on the two ‘big brothers’.

       Shen Huiming remembered that Suo Yang had some kind of reaction to the organ soaked in the bottle, so he asked himself to go there.

       At the door of the principal’s office, only Suo Yang, Shen Huiming and the only girl were left.

       Before he entered the door, Suo Yang exchanged glances with Shen Huiming, and said softly, “See you later.”

       After he finished speaking, Shen Huiming shook Suo Yang’s hand suddenly.

       The light was dim, but they had already adapted to the environment and could see each other clearly.

       Shen Huiming smiled and said softly, “I’m right next door to you.”

       Suo Yang also laughed, originally wanting to explain that he was not afraid, but in the end, he only said, “Okay.”

       Shen Huiming watched Suo Yang walk into the principal’s office, and then followed the girl.

       The girl asked him in a low voice, “Big brother, what’s the relationship between you two?”

       Shen Huiming smiled, “Why do you ask that?”

       “I think you have an unusual relationship.” The girl smiled slyly at him, “Straight men don’t have fun that way.”

       They had already reached the laboratory as they were talking. Shen Huiming stopped, smiled and said to the girl, “Go ahead, if you’re scared, call me through the wall to talk with you.”

       The girl waved her hand, “I’m very brave.”

       She went in through the small door from when she came and went back to the first room, then bent down again, poked her head through and said with a smile, “You two are so good together!”

       These words won Shen Huiming’s heart, and although Suo Yang might frown if he knew it, the other party was not here after all. Shen Huiming’s vanity secretly made him say to the girl, “The little girl has good eyesight, we are indeed a good match.”

       All six people were already in place, each guarding an eerie room.

       In the beginning, there was no sound, and then, the faint female voice sounded again and recounted the whole story. Finally, the female voice said sadly, “Class is over, and one person must stay with me after the bell.”

       After she finished speaking, the ear-piercing bell rang, which was really uncomfortable to hear in a somewhat terrifying environment.

       A full thirty seconds, Suo Yang had to admit, these thirty seconds were more difficult than the previous two hours.

       By the time the bell ended, a door opened in the room where each person was.

       Everyone went out separately, five of the six returned to the bright hall, but Suo Yang was the only one missing.

       Shen Huiming frowned, remembering the female voice at the end saying that there would be only one person left.

       The other people were a little panicked and asked if they wanted to go back and find someone.

       Shen Huiming thought for a while and said, “He should be able to handle it.”

       After finishing speaking, Shen Huiming walked around the outside and found a door that hadn’t been opened yet.

       He stood there waiting, believing that Suo Yang would come out soon.

       At this moment, Suo Yang entered another room, which was dark and had the appearance of a student dormitory.

       He understood that he was the one who had been ‘left behind’.

       He glanced at the time and thought that Shen Huiming should have gone out, and he was a little afraid that the other party would worry about him.

       But they had handed over their mobile phones before they came in, so there was no way to contact them, so they had to get through the level as soon as possible and meet up with each other.

       The last hurdle was left to Suo Yang alone.

       Shen Huiming waited outside the door a little anxiously but he was too embarrassed to show too much anxiety. He glanced at the time and found that he had only waited for less than three minutes.

       Those students had already taken their mobile phones and brought Shen Huiming and Suo Yang’s as well.

       Shen Huiming stood there, clutching their mobile phones in their hands. Now the sky was bright outside, and the sunlight outside the window was even a bit dazzling, but he knew it was dark in the chamber. He really wanted to ask if Suo Yang would be scared inside alone.

       Just as he was in a hurry, the door in front of him opened unexpectedly.

       A boy next to him said, “So fast?”

       Shen Huiming hurried forward, and before reaching the door, he saw Suo Yang poking his head out from inside.

       At that time, Suo Yang was really cute, like a gopher who just came out of a hole in the ground, dazzled by the sun.

       Suo Yang narrowed his eyes to look at the person in front of him, then smiled and said, “It’s over?”

       “It’s over.” Shen Huiming stretched out his hand to pull him out, and found that Suo Yang was actually holding a small banner in his hand, “What is this?”

       “Souvenir.” Suo Yang said with a helpless smile, “After I cracked the password it showed that this was a souvenir of passing the level, so I took it out.”

       Shen Huiming watched him open the banner, which read: You are such a smart little one!

       ‘Smart little one’, Suo Yang and Shen Huiming looked at the banner together and laughed, Suo Yang said, “You can have this, take it back and hang it in your office.”

       Although the original solo date turned into a multiplayer game because of these students, they spent more than two hours happily, just like the wedding in Berlin, it was an unexpected gain.

       After saying goodbye to a few students, Suo Yang and Shen Huiming went downstairs and left.

       It was past six o’clock when they got back to the car, and their date had entered the tenth hour.

       During these ten hours, they began to see each other in a more realistic light, and the distance was finally slowly drawn closer.

       It was late September, and autumn had already arrived. The sky was not yet dark at this time, but the sun had already gone to work in the other hemisphere.

       Suo Yang looked out the window, and suddenly heard Shen Huiming ask: “Do you feel anxious?”

       “What?”

       “Didn’t you say before that one would feel anxious if one was outside in the evening?”

       Suo Yang didn’t expect that he still remembered.

       A little bit, actually, this time of day made it impossible for Suo Yang to quiet his mind.

       “Let’s take you to a fun place.” Shen Huiming started the car, “Half an hour, and then we’ll go have dinner.”

       Suo Yang didn’t ask where he was going, he just followed Shen Huiming quietly.

       Before dark, Shen Huiming brought Suo Yang to their destination.

       This was a small square with few people, and some people were flying kites.

       After the two parked the car, Shen Huiming found two coins from the car and handed one to Suo Yang.

       “Coin?”

       “Well, it will be useful later, take it.”

       They got out of the car, and Suo Yang followed Shen Huiming to the depths of the square.

       There was a small fountain in the middle of the small square, and several children were playing around the fountain.

       When they walked to the fountain, Suo Yang realized that the bottom of the fountain was full of coins.

       “This fountain has been around for a long time,” Shen Huiming said. “I don’t know when it started. Some people say that this fountain is more effective than the Trevi Fountain.”

       The Trevi Fountain, the most famous Trevi Fountain in Rome, legend had it that couples throw coins into the pool together, and their love would last forever.

       “I don’t mean anything else,” Shen Huiming said, “I just want to bring you here, so you can make a wish yourself.”

       Suo Yang smiled, and gently rubbed his fingers against the coin Shen Huiming gave him.

       He looked at the water gushing out and the coins in the pool, and for a long time he didn’t think that he could make any wish.

       “I don’t seem to have a wish.”

       Shen Huiming looked at him in surprise.

       “You still have to rely on yourself for the goals you want to achieve, don’t you?”

       Suo Yang’s words made Shen Huiming feel that he didn’t know whether to admire his transparency or feel sorry for his transparency, but Shen Huiming reckoned that Suo Yang didn’t need his distress.

       “Then make a wish that you can’t achieve on your own.” Shen Huiming looked away, looked at the fountain, and threw the coin into the water while talking, “I wish you will be in a good mood tomorrow.”

       The coin fell into the water and made a splash.

       Suo Yang was silent for a few seconds, then tossed a coin as well.

       Suo Yang said, “I wish that tomorrow you are also in a good mood.”

       Suo Yang sometimes suspected that he had a hidden ‘avoidant personality’. In many cases, when faced with questions that he was unwilling to answer or didn’t know how to answer, he simply chose to ignore them.

       In response to Shen Huiming’s sudden hug, he did not refuse, nor did he hug him back.

       As for Shen Huiming’s half-joking and half-serious sentence, he also pretended not to hear it.

       Shen Huiming also knew how to leave room for each other, he knew that he had said enough, and to continue to pester with an answer, would only make Suo Yang retreat.

       He was not that stupid.

       The two of them walked out of the cinema, each with their own thoughts, smelling the smell of popcorn, walked to the escalator, and went downstairs like this.

       “Just strolling around?” Shen Huiming asked.

       “Sure.”

       They sat in the movie theatre for almost two hours, and it was good to move around.

       The floor below the cinema was full of beverage shops and game centres. When they passed by the arcade, Shen Huiming asked him with a smile, “Want to play?”

       Suo Yang smiled and waved his hands, he was really not very interested in these things.

       The two were wandering around, originally planning to turn around and go downstairs, but they were stopped by two boys in front of an escape room.

       The two boys were very embarrassed to say that they came to play the escape room, but two people had to leave at the last minute, and the number of people was not enough, and they had already paid the money, so they asked if they would like to form a team together.

       Shen Huiming and Suo Yang had never encountered such a thing.

       Shen Huiming said, “Anyway, the money has been paid, can’t you just go in? The boss even cares about this?”

       “It’s not the same thing,” one of the boys explained. “There are rules about the number of people, some of the levels have to be completed by six people.”

       Shen Huiming and the others understood, but the problem was…

       Shen Huiming turned his head and asked Suo Yang, “Want to play?”

       Suo Yang looked at him, and then said to the two boys apologetically, “I’ve never played before, I’m afraid I’ll hold you back.”

       “It’s okay!” The boy in front of him was very bold, “It’s the newbies that make it fun!”

       Suo Yang looked at Shen Huiming with some embarrassment.

       Shen Huiming hadn’t played it before either. He and Suo Yang had never had any contact with games like this one which had only become popular among young students in recent years.

       “Come on,” the boy said, “We’ve been looking for someone for a long time, but we can’t get enough. It’s a fate for us to get together. I beg you two brothers, let’s cherish this fate!”

       Shen Huiming was amused by him, looked at Suo Yang, and softly asked for his opinion, “Do you want to give them the honour?”

       The two boys kept chattering, “Please, please cherish it and give us the honour.”

       Suo Yang smiled helplessly and said, “Okay.”

       So, the two of them, who were nearly ten years older than the others, were pushed into the escape room store.

       Suo Yang asked Shen Huiming in a low voice, “Have you ever played before?”

       Shen Huiming said, “No, but it seems quite interesting.”

       Suo Yang was the kind of person who had high standards and strict requirements in everything he did. The reason why he hesitated for a long time just now was entirely because he was worried that he wouldn’t do well and affect everyone’s progress.

       After they came in, they joined the others. In addition to the two boys who just pulled them into the group outside, there was another boy and a girl, six people in total.

       Suo Yang and Shen Huiming followed the clerk’s request, stood in a row with the others, and then put on blindfolds.

       The clerk said, “Everyone put your hands on the shoulders of the person in front of you, and I will lead you in.”

       Someone at the front asked, “Can you put it on your waist?”

       Shen Huiming, who was standing at the back, listened, chuckled lightly, and then raised his hands, and put them lightly on Suo Yang’s shoulders.

       They moved forward cautiously, their vision obscured by black blindfolds, and their other senses sharpened.

       Suo Yang’s attention was all on Shen Huiming’s hand on his shoulder. When they turned the corner, the other man used a slight amount of force.

       They walked for a while, finally stopped, and the clerk told them they could take off the blindfold.

       The temperature here was lower than outside, and as soon as he came in, Suo Yang felt a chill on Suo his skin through his shirt.

       He raised his hand to take off the blindfold and looked back at Shen Huiming for the first time.

       Shen Huiming subconsciously took the blindfold from Suo Yang’s hand and handed it back to the shop assistant along with his own.

       The two had never played the escape room before, and only now did they realize that each escape room game has its own theme, and the one they had been dragged into was ‘School of Horror’.

       The shop assistant briefly explained the precautions, gave them two walkie-talkies, and then left.

       This room was not big, the set was a classroom, Suo Yang and Shen Huiming were standing near the door, with rows of desks in front of them, and the teacher’s desk not far away.

       The air conditioner in the room was fully turned on, with the spooky paintings on the wall and the dim light, it was much more interesting than the ‘horror movie’ the two of them had just watched.

       This place was quite cool, Suo Yang thought in his heart, he should come in summer.

       As he was thinking, creepy music suddenly started playing in the room, and one of the boys standing in front of him was so startled that he knocked a desk upside down.

       Shen Huiming looked at Suo Yang calmly, and asked softly, “Are you scared?”

       Suo Yang smiled, “I’m an atheist.”

       As he spoke, a female voice came, and along with that eerie music began to tell the background of this story.

       In the setting, several of them were students who had graduated from this class many years. On the tenth anniversary of graduation, they received an invitation letter to come back to the school for a reunion. However, when they arrived there, they found that the school had become an abandoned building. Originally they just wanted to come in to see the classroom they once had, but upon entering they were locked inside.

       Just as the female voice introducing the background stopped, the floating red flag on the wall suddenly fell down. The red flag was right behind Suo Yang. When it fell, everyone was shocked.

       A few of the boys backed away from the scene and burst into foul language because of the shock.

       On the other hand, Suo Yang turned his head and looked down at the floating red flag that fell on the ground. He felt that something was wrong, so he bent down to pick it up.

       Shen Huiming went over and watched Suo Yang turn over the flowing red flag, and found that there was writing on the back一A fire left me here, and I will let you be buried with me today.

       Suo Yang really couldn’t get into the scene, so he tried his best not to laugh.

       He and Shen Huiming looked at each other, then turned over the flowing red flag and showed it to several others.

       Those boys were more involved in the drama than Suo Yang. After they saw the words on the flowing red flag, they deliberately acted as if they were scared out of their wits and almost ran away, but the girl said calmly, “Knock it off, already! Hurry up and find clues!”

       With the flowing red flag in his hand, Suo Yang looked around and found that there were five people’s names written on the blackboard, but there were six desks.

       “What did you find?” Shen Huiming asked.

       Suo Yang shook his head.

       Shen Huiming looked down at the table in front of him, and then in the direction of the teacher’s desk. He walked over and opened the drawer of the desk.

       “There’s something here.” Shen Huiming took out six name tags from the drawer, the kind of plastic name tags that elementary school students in the nineties would put on their school uniforms.

       There were six name tags in total. Suo Yang went over to take a look and then looked up at the blackboard.

       He took those name tags from Shen Huiming and placed them on the table one by one according to the order on the blackboard. For the last remaining name tag, the owner’s name was not on the blackboard, but there happened to be an empty table.

       He stood in front of the table and said, “The student who was burned to death should be him, Zhang Xiaohui.”

       “Here is Zhang Xiaohui’s locker!” A boy walked to the locker at the back of the classroom, ‘Password lock.’

       Suo Yang handed the nametag in his hand to the other party and asked him to try the last four digits of the student’s number.

       Sure enough, the cabinet opened.

       When the cabinet was opened, the ‘wall’ under the blackboard suddenly collapsed with a square gap that could pass through people. It seemed that they had passed the first level.

       “Here is a piece of paper.” The only girl took out the piece of paper from the cabinet, “It’s only part of it.”

       “It looks like we are going to have to go through all the levels and put this paper together.” When the students were talking, Suo Yang had already returned to Shen Huiming’s side.

       The two stood by the blackboard, and Shen Huiming asked with a smile, “How was it? Did you find it fun?”

       “It’s not bad.” Suo Yang watched the students gather together to read the words on the paper and said, “It’s quite interesting.”

       Several people stooped through the gap and entered a small, dusty room.

       Before coming over, a boy complained: “It’s not difficult!”

       As soon as he finished speaking, he screamed.

       “What the hell is this!”

       The room was a bit crowded with six people standing, and Suo Yang was almost pressed up against Shen Huiming.

       “This is the laboratory.” Suo Yang looked at the table in front of him and the apparatus on it, “What’s in it?”

       He leaned over to look, and Shen Huiming said, “It’s a feet.”

       Suo Yang hurried back and stood next to Shen Huiming as if nothing had happened.

       Shen Huiming was amused by his reaction, “Scared?”

       “No,” Suo Yang said, “It’s a bit…abnormal.”

       On the table were not only bottles filled with human feet but also various human organs. Although he knew that it was all fake, Suo Yang still felt very uncomfortable looking at them.

       Several people observed the room and found a scale balance on the far side.

       One of the balance weights was missing, so the box was left open and set aside.

       “It should be weighed.” Suo Yang said, “The weight corresponds to the bottle, try it.”

       “Which one does it correspond to?” a boy asked.

       The girl walked over, picked up the bottle with the ‘heart’ on it and said, “Let’s try them one by one!”

       Suo Yang and the girl tried repeatedly there, but after a few times, they found that something was wrong. In fact, the weight of each bottle was the same, but one of the weights was missing.

       “Maybe that’s not how it works.” A boy who hadn’t said much had a walkie-talkie in his hand, “I’ll ask for help.”

       “Don’t, it’s useless to ask for help!” Another boy stopped him, “Let’s figure it out on our own, the clue must be in this room.”

       “A weight is missing?” Shen Huiming suddenly realized something, and walked to Suo Yang’s side, “Put that bottle on.”

       Suo Yang obediently took one of the bottles and put it on the tray.

       Shen Huiming put away all the weights, and then said, “Wait for me.”

       After he finished speaking, he turned around and went back to the classroom where he had just come from.

       Soon, Shen Huiming came back with the six name tags in his hand.

       He came over and carefully placed the name tag on the tray with weights. At the same time, there was a ‘Dang’ sound from under the table, and a small wooden door opened.

       A boy complained, “You still have to crawl through it!”

       Suo Yang didn’t care about this, he just looked at Shen Huiming with a smile and said, “How did you come up with the idea of using a name tag?”

       “It’s just a sudden idea,” Shen Huiming was a little smug, “Would you like to praise me?”

       “Praise you.” Suo Yang smiled as if he was the only one in his eyes, “You’re really thoughtful and attentive.”

       When Suo Yang and Shen Huiming went upstairs, the classrooms were mostly empty. It was now lunch break time and few people would stay there.

       The two entered a classroom on the third floor, and Suo Yang walked in front, leading Shen Huiming all the way in.

       The last row of the classroom was near the window, and the weather in early autumn was very good. With the windows opened, there was a comfortable cool breeze blowing in.

       As they sat side by side, Suo Yang said, “Going to a university abroad should feel very different from the one inside the country.”

       “Well, few of us stay at the school, and when we first went there, we were not used to the food there, so we had to learn to cook by ourselves.” Shen Huiming smiled, “It’s not like the local universities, where they have everything in the canteen.”

       Suo Yang smiled, “When I was at the university, everyone always complained about the unpalatable food in the canteen and the rising price of food. But after graduation, I was exposed to how society was and started to live alone. Only then did I realize that the school canteen is actually very good and cheap. “

       Two men who had left the university campus for many years sat in the classroom and told each other the stories of their student days, looking at the handwriting left by the teacher on the blackboard, looking at the water glass left by a classmate on the table in front of them, feeling a rare sense of relaxation.

       Suo Yang was lying on the table, looking at the leaves blowing outside the window, while Shen Hui Ming looked at him slightly sideways, watching his hair being stroked by the wind blowing in.

       “Suo Yang.”

       “Hm?”

       “Do you think, if we had met when we were in college, what would have happened?”

       Suo Yang still looked out of the window, and after a few seconds of silence, he said with a smile, “I don’t know, my imagination is really poor.”

       The sound of music suddenly came from outside the window. It was the school’s radio station that started to play a song.

       This was the tradition of Suo Yang’s school. Every day at one o’clock in the afternoon, the radio station would play songs until the class starts at half past one.

       Suo Yang listened to the music and closed his eyes.

       “There\’s wind that blows in from the north.”

       To Suo Yang’s surprise, when he sang the first line of lyrics along with the melody, Shen Huiming’s voice came at the same time.

       The breeze from the north met him unexpectedly.

       The tacit understanding between him and Shen Huiming came unexpectedly again.

       The two hummed a part of this song softly, and Suo Yang was a little sleepy, lying there lazily, enjoying the music, the autumn wind, and the rare good time.

       He was drowsy and almost fell asleep. After an unknown amount of time, the classroom started to be noisy. Suo Yang sighed and sat up straight.

       Shen Huiming looked at Suo Yang who was sleepy, and asked with a smile, “Are you asleep?”

       “Maybe.” Or maybe he wasn’t asleep.

       Who knows? But it didn’t matter at all.

       It was almost time for the afternoon class and some students had already arrived early.

       The students who came in looked at the two men sitting in the corner, some turned a blind eye, and some looked over curiously.

       Suo Yang said, “People are going to study, let’s go.”

       The two got up and left the classroom one after the other.

       They walked against the flow of people along the path, and when they passed a small bush, they saw a young couple kissing.

       Shen Huiming glanced at Suo Yang, and said, “Let me ask you a rather personal question.”

       “What?”

       “Did you ever fall in love when you were in college?”

       When he heard his question, Suo Yang subconsciously looked at the couple who were kissing as if no one else was around.

       “No,” Suo Yang said, “There are only a few boys around, and they all like girls.”

       Shen Huiming laughed out loud, “It’s a pity.”

       “Pity?”

       “That’s right, if I didn’t go abroad, I would be your senior. If I was around, although we wouldn’t necessarily be able to talk, we wouldn’t necessarily not be able to talk either, don’t you think so?”

       Suo Yang smiled softly, “Senior, have you ever thought about this, this school is so big and there are so many students. Even if we both go to school here, we may not know each other.”

       “No, even if you don’t know me, I should know you.” Shen Huiming joked, “You are the Suo Yang who can score points as soon as he strikes ‘the enemy’ on the basketball court.”

       Suo Yang glanced at him with an angry smile but had nothing to say.

       The two walked around the school, and when it was almost time, they decided to go to a nearby cinema to watch a movie.

       Shen Huiming was in charge of driving, and Suo Yang was in charge of selecting movies. Suo Yang said, “There doesn’t seem to be any good movies recently.”

       “Is there anything you are interested in?” Shen Huiming said, “or relatively interested?”

       There really wasn’t.

       Suo Yang actually didn’t watch movies very much, he spends most of his rest time sleeping.

       “Just choose one randomly.” Suo Yang opened the cinema’s film schedule, “You say a number, and you can watch whichever you choose.”

       Shen Huiming smiled, “So random?”

       “Mm-hmm, just that random.”

       “1,” Shen Huiming said, “What’s at the top of the list?”

       Suo Yang suddenly laughed loudly: “You really know how to choose.”

       It just so happened that there was a red light ahead, so Shen Huiming parked the car and leaned over to check Suo Yang’s phone.

       When he saw the film he had chosen, he immediately supported his forehead helplessly.

       “What is this…” A domestic horror movie. He didn’t need to think but he knew there would be nothing worth watching, How about… you change it? “

       “No need.” Suo Yang stifled a laugh and said, “Let’s just watch this.”

       Suo Yang bought the tickets directly on the mobile phone, and when the two arrived at the cinema, they directly picked up the tickets and waited in line to enter.

       Shen Huiming squeezed the movie ticket in his hand and lamented, “It’s been two years since I last came to the cinema, I didn’t expect that after two years, I would have to watch such an exciting film.”

       Suo Yang browsed the cinema’s new film promotional board, pointed to it and said, “The plot is really exciting.”

       As for the movie they were about to watch, even though it was a horror movie, the plot was very much like a ‘family ethic drama¹Family ethics drama is a kind of popular drama whose main content is to reflect social ethics and moral issues. It constitutes the main form of popular drama creation in a melodramatic form.’. What was that brother-in-law, what kind of sister-in-law, Suo Yang couldn’t help laughing.

       Shen Huiming stood behind Suo Yang watching him laughing, and he couldn’t help but laugh along with him.

       Was this what it felt like to be in love and dating?

       Shen Huiming thought it was even cuter than he had imagined.

       Since it was a weekday, there were few students at this time, or rather, no one wanted to see this kind of movie.

       After checking the tickets, Shen Huiming and Suo Yang went in, only to find that they were the only ones in the entire screening hall.

       “The whole cinema is reserved,” Shen Huiming sat helplessly in the middle, “the atmosphere is good.”

       Suo Yang was standing next to him on the left, unable to hide his smile all the time.

       It didn’t really matter what kind of movie they were watching, what mattered was the fun that developed from the event itself.

       Suo Yang felt that Shen Huiming’s reaction now was more interesting than any movie.

       “Oh no,” Shen Huiming said, “I forgot to buy you a bucket of popcorn.”

       Suo Yang smiled, “I’m not a kid who likes to eat snacks.”

       “Then you have to do it for fun.”

       Suo Yang patted him, “Don’t bother.”

       The movie soon started, and as expected, the plot was too absurd to watch.

       Shen Huiming was acting like he was sitting on pins and needles, while Suo Yang was like sitting as steady as a mountain.

       With this alone, Shen Huiming was subdued by him.

       But what Shen Huiming didn’t expect was that while Suo Yang seemed to be sitting steadily, he actually fell asleep after a while.

       Was this person really tired?

       He had slept on his stomach during the school day and then fell asleep again at the cinema.

       Shen Huiming turned his head to look at him, and the flickering light of the movie shone on Suo Yang’s face, giving him a cold and beautiful look.

       Suo Yang’s body was tilted to the other side, looking like he was about to fall down.

       Shen Huiming made a quick decision and ran around to the other end and sat down, just in time to support Suo Yang with his shoulder.

       Suo Yang woke up suddenly and looked at Shen Huiming in a daze.

       Shen Huiming smiled, “Sleep, I’ll be your pillow.”

       Suo Yang was a little embarrassed and wanted to sit up straight, but Shen Huiming grabbed his hand.

       “Lean on me when you’re tired.” Shen Huiming said, “There’s nothing to see in this movie anyway.”

       The two looked at each other for a few seconds in the dark screening room, Suo Yang lowered his head and smiled, and then leaned safely on Shen Huiming’s shoulder.

       For more than an hour after that, until the end of the movie, Suo Yang actually didn’t fall asleep.

       But he didn’t get up either and kept leaning on Shen Huiming.

       Since childhood, Suo Yang had never been one to rely on others. Even if it was his parents, he would not act coquettishly. While other children were still being taken to school by their parents’ hands, Suo Yang was already waiting for the bus every day with his school bag on his back.

       He was not used to being dependent, not used to relying on others, and he had never liked that feeling.

       He wanted to be independent, to hold up his own life.

       But at this moment, when he was leaning on Shen Huiming, he suddenly felt that it would be nice to have someone who could give him a break.

       Suo Yang just leaned against Shen Huiming, and his hand was held by the other party all the time.

       His palms were sweating and his heartbeat had increased in speed.

       His eyes were closed, but it was as if he could see the two of them sitting in the cinema right now, and although the film shown was very ‘amusing’, it was particularly warm between them.

       Meeting Shen Huiming was indeed a great thing.

       The movie ended and the lights in the screening room slowly came on.

       When Suo Yang straightened up, he felt a little bit sad.

       But it had to end even though he was reluctant. He had borrowed his shoulders from Shen Hui Ming for over an hour and that was enough.

       “Did you get some sleep?” Shen Huiming asked with concern.

       “Probably, in a daze.” Suo Yang stretched his waist, “I’ve been flying too much recently, I couldn’t hold it, I’m sorry.”

       “What are you apologising to me for?” Shen Huiming stood up with him, “If I hadn’t dragged you out on a date, you would have been able to rest better.”

       The two walked out. This time it was Shen Huiming who walked in front, and Suo Yang looked at his back.

       “Huiming.”

       It was rare for Suo Yang to call Shen Huiming’s name.

       The flattered Shen Huiming looked back at him and heard Suo Yang say, “When there is a good movie another day, I will treat you to a movie. I will definitely not sleep next time.”

       This was the first time that Suo Yang had taken the initiative to invite Shen Huiming.

       “I want to ask a question.”

       “Go ahead.”

       “Have you dated anyone before?”

       The two of them were standing in the exit aisle, with no one around and the soft red carpet under their feet.

       Suo Yang said, “No.”

       “Then have you seen a movie with someone else?”

       Suo Yang replied, “No.”

       Shen Huiming couldn’t believe it.

       “I really didn’t.” Suo Yang said, “Today is the first time.”

       Shen Huiming smiled, and suddenly took half a step forward, gently hugging Suo Yang in his arms, “Thank you.”

       “Thank you for what?”

       “Thank you for letting me take advantage of you.” Shen Huiming let go of him, and said with a smile, “Suo Yang, you’re spoiling me so much, I really have to suspect that you actually have a thing for me too.”
