Chapter 20 Alone Time



"The two of us alone?" Wen Xia thought he had heard wrongly.

Lin Fengqi nodded.

So Wen Xia looked down at the schedule in his hand - at 8:30 pm on Saturday, pet owners will be alone for half an hour.

"What's the reason for this?" Wen Xia asked, "Isn't this a pet friendship schedule? What does it have to do with the owner?"

Lin Fengqi said: "Animals are sensitive to smells, so I think it is very necessary for us to get along with each other. Having each other's smell on our bodies can better help the pets of both sides get to know each other."

"Are you serious?"

Lin Fengqi didn't say anything, but just looked at him calmly, as if he believed what he said and thought so from the bottom of his heart.

Wen Xia glanced at the Wen pigeon in his hand.

"You can put it back in the room for the time being." Lin Fengqi said.

"Then why did you ask me to bring it here?"

"It has the right to know about this schedule."

"..."Okay.

After putting Wen Da Pigeon back in the room, Wen Xia returned to the living room: "Then what should I do?"

Lin Fengqi nodded his chin towards the empty seat beside him, "Sit."

"Sit next to you?"

"Yeah."

Lin Fengqi sat in the middle of the sofa, and Wen Xia walked over and sat down beside him, at least two Lin Fengqis away from him.

Lin Fengqi glanced at the distance between them and said, "Come here."

The man's voice was light and commanding. Wen Xia didn't like the feeling of being ordered around, so she sat there without moving.

"...Come closer." Lin Fengqi said again.

"Why come over? I'm quite comfortable sitting here."

Lin Fengqi stopped talking.

After a moment's silence, he said coldly: "You sit too far away, we can't smell each other."

It would be better if he didn't say this. As soon as he said it, Wen Xia almost got angry.

He was wondering before, is it Lin Fengqi who doesn't understand, or is his mind too dirty? What your smell, my smell. Isn't it a bit too ambiguous?

How can Lin Fengqi say this with no sexual desire on his face. Doesn't he have that kind of worldly desire?

It seems... he really doesn't.

Lin Fengqi looked at him without any emotional ups and downs, as if he was completing a job. It was even too bland, so it seemed a bit upright.

Instead, it made Wen Xia look like a little ugly guy with a yellow face.

Damn, the ugly guy turned out to be me.

Under such a gaze without desire, Wen Xia slowly moved closer: "Is that all right?"

Lin Fengqi frowned slightly.

Okay, Party A is not satisfied. Wen Xia had to move closer again. At this time, the distance between the two was only one Lin Fengqi.

But Party A was still dissatisfied, and stared at him with those upright eyes without worldly desires. Until the distance of the last Lin Fengqi was gone, the two were shoulder to shoulder. Sitting side by side.

At home, they both wore home clothes, a single piece of clothing, the fabric was neither thick nor thin. Sticking together like this, they could still clearly feel each other's body temperature.

Lin Fengqi had just taken a shower, and the shower gel was a lemon scent with mint.

When Wen Xia moved closer, she felt his arms stiffen.

Wen Xia paused, as if nothing had happened: "Now, what do we need to do?"

At this time, 5 minutes had passed since 8:30. There were still 25 minutes of alone time.

Lin Fengqi: "Wait." He picked up the magazine at hand and started reading.

So we just sit here for 25 minutes.

Wen Xia thought about it and took out his mobile phone to play. They each did their own thing and no one interfered with anyone else.

The clock on the wall stepped on the steps of clicking, again and again, which seemed particularly abrupt in the silence where you could hear a pin drop. Occasionally, there was the sound of turning pages.

The mint smell was lingering in his nose. Wen Xia tried his best to ignore it, but the warmth he felt on his shoulders and arms reminded him all the time that there was someone sitting next to him.

His hand that was playing with his phone stopped involuntarily. He wondered in a daze, was this the closest he had ever been to Lin Fengqi?

In high school, whenever he got closer, Lin Fengqi would quietly distance himself from him. After so many times, Lin Fengqi would directly say, "Stay away from me."

Once, they were sitting together doing homework. At that time, Wen Xia had already been admitted to a key class, and he took some effort to sit at the same table with Lin Fengqi. It was evening self-study, and he wanted to ask Lin Fengqi a question he didn't know how to answer, so he touched his forearm with the back of his hand.

Who knew that Lin Fengqi would immediately retract his hand, as if he had been touched by something dirty.

This action annoyed Wen Xia, you don't like being touched by me, right? Then I'm going to touch you.

This time, he directly grabbed Lin Fengqi's arm, and Wen Xia felt a little proud when he felt the boy's muscles instantly tense.

However, before he could feel proud for two seconds, Lin Fengqi said in a cold voice: "Don't touch me."

Wen Xia later let go of him, but he never asked him any questions again.

- But now, after many years, not only did he meet Lin Fengqi, but it was Lin Fengqi's own request.

Is this the impermanence of life?

Just like the little master who was the center of attention could never have imagined that one day he would fall into the quagmire, and the first love who once avoided him like a snake and scorpion would one day say to him: Marry me.

Wen Xia's thoughts were wandering, and he had never felt that 25 minutes was so long. He glanced and scanned the magazine that Lin Fengqi was reading - huh? Why does it feel wrong?

His eyes stayed there for two seconds until Lin Fengqi turned another page.

"...Hey," he raised his elbow and nudged Lin Fengqi's arm, "Did you hold the book upside down?"

Lin Fengqi paused.

Wen Xia looked at him innocently.

After a few seconds of silence, the magazine closed with a "snap".

"Time is up," Lin Fengqi said.

"Isn't there still..." 10 minutes?

Before he finished speaking, the man had put down the magazine, stood up, and left the living room without looking back.

Suddenly there was no heat source beside him, and Wen Xia stared at the clock on the wall, very dissatisfied. It was you who made the half-hour plan, and now it is you who left early. Do you have to be so difficult to please? The master is not willing to do it.

He returned to the room muttering and locked the door with revenge.

After closing the door, Lin Fengqi closed his eyes and let out a long breath. He raised his hand to touch his burning ears, and he felt a little annoyed again.

He walked quickly to the computer desk, sat down, and turned on the electric fan. He didn't turn it off until the heat in his body subsided and the sweat on his back was dried by the wind.

Leaning back in the chair to calm down for a while, Lin Fengqi opened the bound pet friendship planner and found October 16th. Next to the column "Alone with Wen Xia" from 8:30 to 9:30, he wrote:

I was too nervous to talk to Wen Xia, and I held the magazine upside down.

Failure.

After writing the word "failure", he showed a disappointed expression.

Ah Moo, who had a good sleep, was in much better spirits. He walked over and sat down beside his legs, looking at him with a pair of shiny black dog eyes, as if asking for a touch.

Lin Fengqi reached out and touched its black dog head, muttering, "It's really hard to improve feelings..."

The next day was Sunday.

Wen Xia stayed up a little today. When he woke up, Lin Fengqi had already gotten up and came back from walking the dog.

Ah Moo was much better today, willing to eat, and taking medicine obediently.

"Are you at home today?" Wen Xia asked Lin Fengqi.

Lin Fengqi said "hmm".

"Okay, then I can go out without any worries."

"You're going out?"

"Yes."

Lin Fengqi hesitated to speak, and finally just asked: "When will you be back?"

"Why, do you have something to do?"

"Go to the hospital later." He said.

Today is Sunday. Lin Fengqi is usually busy. In the past, he would go to the hospital to sit after work on weekdays. But Ye Shixue saw his fatigue several times, and she would never let him go to the hospital on weekdays.

Lin Fengqi didn't want his mother to see him tired, so he kept going to the hospital on his weekends.

"What time is later?" Wen Xia asked, "You have to give me a specific time."

"Five o'clock in the afternoon."

"Five o'clock in the afternoon... OK."

"And..."

"What else? Tell me everything you have at once."

Lin Fengqi was silent for two seconds, "Forget it, it's nothing."

Wen Xia hated to speak halfway. He said "Oh" and was too lazy to continue asking.

After Wen Xia left, Lin Fengqi picked up the pet friendship plan that he had placed on the coffee table yesterday and forgot to put away.

Lin Fengqi's expression drooped slightly, and he posted the plan on the corridor wall. He reluctantly browsed through the plan for Sunday several times and sighed softly.

Today's daytime plan had to be put on hold.

Wen Xia used Wen Dayu as an excuse not to go home yesterday, and today he hurried back to comfort the fragile heart of old comrade Wen Shanhai.

As soon as he entered the room, Wen Shanhai first looked into his hand: "Where is my son?"

"Your grandson didn't come." Wen Xia said.

"Why don't you take it with you?"

"Why should I bring it if it's sick?" Wen Xia said while changing his shoes, "How can you bother others when you're not feeling well?"

Wen Shanhai was unhappy: "Then why are you here? Leaving your sick brother at home with a cat, what if something happens again?"

"Don't worry, it won't happen, someone is watching it."

Wen Shanhai asked sensitively: "Who? Is there anyone else at home?"

"Yanzi," Wen Xia lied with a blushing face, "I asked him to be a nanny for your grandson."

Wen Shanhai muttered: "Look at you, you're bothering Xiao Zou all day long - where's the surveillance? Let me see. I haven't seen my son for a long time, I miss him so much."

"The surveillance is broken." Wen Xia continued to lie.

Wen Shanhai looked at him with a look of disdain and doubt: "What do you mean by inferior product?

If you say it's bad, it's bad." "Since you said it's inferior product, it's bad, right? Can I say hello to you and then be bad again?"

Comrade Wen Lao couldn't argue with him, and snorted unconvinced.

But the surveillance thing really reminded Wen Xia. He moved to Lin Fengqi's place without bringing the surveillance. Although there was a surveillance installed by Lin Fengqi in the living room, Wen Da'e stayed in the room all day long, and there was no surveillance installed in his room.

With Ah Moo's previous experience, Wen Xia felt that it would be better to have a surveillance in his room.

Coincidentally, there was a spare set at home.
