I watched Ning Yiheng hook his lips, and I started to laugh without holding back.

As I laugh, I felt like there was something wrong with me.

I laughed along ah.

It was weird that boss was happy and even I had become weird.

Seeing that we all drew a lot, Gan Yao also paid for his own divination. But his attitude towards love is purely playful, and he doesn’t care about it.

He was really engaged in feudal superstition or academic studies. He calculated whether he could be admitted as a graduate student, and the slip was quite ideal on the surface.

I feel that I haven’t figured out the calculations for half a day, but the old man who set up the stall made a lot of money.

I actually just wanted to have fun on this marriage draw lot, and I didn’t take it seriously.

I always felt that it was inappropriate for me to smile at this time, so I held back my smile and said, “Boss, the things on this aren’t credible. There’s a trash can over there, throw it away later.”

Ning Yiheng clenched the paper in his palm and said, “I’ve never seen anything like this before. Let me collect it for fun ba.”

… Ai, people in the city who have never seen the world, how can they treat this kind of thing like a treasure?

A few years ago, my mother saved a small box of marriage lots for me. If Ning Yiheng is interested, I can pack it and send it to him.

Ning Yiheng took my slip and didn’t say anything, but also asked me, “Cheng Huai Xiu, what were you laughing at just now?”

I’m actually a person who will tell the truth most of the time, but only this time I lied— Because I couldn’t find a reason to explain.

I said with hypocrisy, “It says I’ll live off a woman in the future.”

“Of course, I’m happy if someone kept me ah.”

Ning Yiheng: …

—

The temple fair in the past few years has actually been very different, but after Ning Yiheng came along, the experience seemed to be different from before. I always like to stare at his curious expression, and I can’t tell why.

Maybe I just love to see his appearance of not having seen the world.

In this way, I took Ning Yiheng and the Li Xiaoming siblings to hang out for a day. When I was about to sit down for New Year’s Eve dinner, I remembered that I hadn’t responded to Dage’s message.

Dage’s situation seems to be quite tricky. The person he likes and the roommate of that person are unclear.

Based on my years of experience in reading Doujin literature, Dage looks like he has been involved in some kind of bloody love triangle.

I thought for a moment and replied: Dage, it’s best to carefully confirm his relationship with his roommate and not to be a spare tire.

Me: If he knows that you like him and he still wants to be ambiguous with his roommate, then don’t continue. You’re a very good person, and I hope you can treat yourself better.

This is really the most decent thing I have ever said in my life.

But Dage didn’t to reply me.

I don’t have the habit of stepping into the lunar New Year’s Eve with my family. I haven’t seen my parents watch the Spring Festival Gala since I was a child.

They pulled the neighbors to play mahjong together and they unexpectedly played all night.

This year, my brother and sister-in-law came back, and the people who played mahjong with them became my brother and sister-in-law. I can’t play with these things and don’t want to watch TV, so I sneaked to the hill on the back to watch the stars by myself.

When I first met Li Xiaoming, he followed me to see the stars out of curiosity. He couldn’t stand the boredom after watching for a while and fell asleep lying next to me. I had to carry him back in the middle of the night.

Because he slept in the wild in the middle of winter, Li Xiaoming took a full annual leave with a cold, and he never came to see the stars with me after that.

I’m happy to be alone and quiet. There are no annoying bugs in the wild in winter. I’m more frost-resistant and wear a lot of clothes.

When it was twelve o’clock, I could still see the fireworks flying out of the village.

At least during this period of time, the disturbances in the world have nothing to do with me.

When I finished my meal, I wrapped myself tightly as usual with cushions on the rocks in the back hill. I took a sip of hot water, holding a thermos cup to look up at the stars.

Li Xiaoming will be at my house talking to my parents for a while, it just so happens that Ning Yiheng was also there. This was a good time to cultivate feelings.

For some reason, when I looked up at the starry sky as quietly as before, I suddenly felt a little absent-minded.

My mind was full of Ning Yiheng’s affairs.

Maybe it was because I spent too much effort to set him up with Li Xiaoming recently that it was rare to have a little space of my own now, and my mind was also occupied by their affairs.

A cold wind came from the mountains, and I hugged the thermos bottle in my arms tightly. I heard the pressing sound of someone stepping on the dead branches behind me.

I turned my head and saw Ning Yiheng in the dim moonlight.

Ning Yiheng sat quietly next to my leg without saying a word.

I looked at his blurred side face and my throat went dry.

I said, “Boss, why did you come out?”

Ning Yiheng said, “I came out to get some air.”

He said again, “What are you looking at?”

“I’m looking at the stars.” I said, but my eyes looked at Ning Yiheng, “Look, doesn’t Orion looks like a twitching robot?”

Ning Yiheng: ?

Ning Yiheng looked at the starry sky and seriously observed the constellation, trying to understand my thoughts, and said, “Why a robot?”

I turned my head back, looked at Orion’s two “mechanical arms” intently, and said, “Because it looks very strong.”

Ning Yiheng: …

Ning Yiheng sighed and said, “I really can’t understand your way of thinking.”

“When I was a child, I was raised by my parents as a girl. Because I was a ‘sissy’ in the eyes of others, I was always bullied.” My thinking began to stretch and finally returned to my childhood. “At that time, I liked to lie on the ground and look at the stars, fantasizing that a robot with twisted arms could fall from the sky and beat the ass of the person who bullied me one by one.”

Ning Yiheng didn’t say anything, he was still looking at the Orion in the starry sky.

I unknowingly said a lot about myself. “When I was a child, I learned a lot by myself— Don’t think about it, think about it on the bright side, so I won’t be slandered by other people’s words.”

“When I started to deviate my thinking from the track, those guys couldn’t hurt me anymore.”

I rarely tell others about my past, including my parents. I don’t want them to feel burdened by the whims of the moment.

I’m now convinced that I am no longer a “sissy” and firmly believe that I’m a straight man.

And I haven’t taken all this seriously for a long time. Whenever there was a conflict, I could quickly reverse my thinking to another level that wouldn’t hurt me.

But talking about this to Ning Yiheng, it was indeed a bit over the line. It wasn’t crossing the line between straight men and gay men, but crossing the line between my personal standards of Cheng Huai Xiu.

I regret it a little bit. I don’t want Ning Yiheng to react to my trivial past.

“If the two arms are the twisted arms of a robot,” Ning Yiheng observed carefully for a long time, and finally coughed lightly— He was trying to approach my brain circuit to think, “Then it must be a robot in a skirt.”

“Cheng Huai Xiu, do you think it looks like that?”
