fish
It was almost four in the morning when Chen Can finally felt sleepy and gradually fell asleep. Two hours later, Ou Ranyu sneaked back and entered Chen Can's room, looking at Chen Can's sleeping face beside the bed.
Ou Ranyu was first convinced that he wasn't dreaming. Secondly, Chen Can had confessed his love to him the previous night, and they were considered together. Then, Chen Can said he didn't care about his identity. Finally, he could disappear at any time.
He didn't care about this before, but now he wants to take Chen Can away. Rather than disappearing, he is more afraid of being away from Chen Can forever.
It was ridiculous enough that he would be afraid of something.
He wants to remain absurd forever. This is the meaning of his existence.
He wanted to stay with Chen Can no matter what means.
Ou Ranyu left the room one minute before Chen Can woke up.
Chen Can slept until after nine o'clock. When he looked at the messages, they were all from Li Yachang and Zhu Baifeng.
Light bulb No. 1 [Good morning]
Light Bulb B【Can't someone pay it back?】
I'm going too.
Chen Can replied to the message sent an hour ago.
Li Yachang and Zhu Baifeng replied immediately.
Light bulb No. ①【Picture+】
Light Bulb No. B【Picture】
Chen Can clicked on it and saw that they were all photos of yesterday's outing. Chen Can saved a few photos that were still pleasing to the eye and forwarded the photos of himself and him to Ou Ranyu.
Ou Ranyu replied with a thumbs-up in seconds and then there was no further movement.
Only Lightbulb No. 1 and Lightbulb No. B were still gossiping about what happened last night.
Lightbulb B【How were you guys last night? @去也
Light Bulb No. B [also changed name]
Light bulb No. ① [Please explain in detail.]
Go [Leave gay people alone]
Go [I told you guys, do you dare to listen? [Smirk]]
Go [If you really want to listen, it’s not impossible]
Li Yachang and Zhu Baifeng chose to remain silent.
Don't go [chenmo]. Otherwise it will be even worse.]
Lightbulb No. 1 [It seems something big has happened]
Light Bulb B【More Than a Big Deal】
Lightbulb No. 1 [Do you sleep in the same bed?]
When Chen Can saw it, he almost couldn't understand it.
Light Bulb B [Under 18 years old, prohibited...]
Go【no】
Chen Can explained immediately.
Go [He ran away after I confessed my love]
Light Bulb No. 1 [What?!]
Light Bulb B [He actually didn't agree to you! [Hehe]]
Go [It's already done, don't curse]
The two remained silent again.
Chen Can chatted for a while and then left. He got up and went downstairs to wash up. Just as he passed the kitchen, he saw Ou Ranyu in the kitchen with his back to him, fiddling with something.
Chen Can suppressed his joy and immediately took a picture of the background and sent it to Li Yachang and Zhu Baifeng.
Go [Isn't this person going to come back sooner or later? ]
Lightbulb ① [Is he going to prepare breakfast/lunch for you?]
Light Bulb No. B [Wish it is locked, I have retired]
Chen Can put his phone back into his pocket and stood deliberately at the kitchen door. Ou Ranyu didn't know what he was doing, and he didn't even look back.
"Ou Ranyu." Chen Can had to call out.
Ou Ranyu then turned around in a daze.
"I was preparing breakfast. Why did you wake up?" Ou Ranyu put down the knife in his hand and washed his hands.
It turns out he was cutting meat.
Chen Can had already walked into the kitchen and glanced at the diced meat on the table.
"Have you ever cooked before?"
“Yes.”
It was a question and answer session, with a very official tone, not at all sticky.
"When did you come back last night?" Chen Can continued to question.
"Around six o'clock this morning." Ou Ranyu answered truthfully.
"So you haven't slept all night? Even if you are an iron man, you should get some sleep. Why are you joining in the fun in the kitchen?" Chen Can said as he wanted to drive Ou Ranyu back to the room.
Ou Ranyu stood there without moving.
"I slept already and came here after I woke up."
Ou Ranyu stood still.
"Really?" Chen Can felt it was not credible.
"Really." Ou Ranyu remained calm.
"Then let's order takeout. You sit down and wait for the food to arrive."
Chen Can insisted that he leave the kitchen.
"Don't you trust me?" Ou Ranyu looked at Chen Can with a hurt look on his face. Chen Can swore that he really didn't mean that, he was just worried that Ou Ranyu was too tired.
"It's not that I don't trust you"
Actually, I just don’t trust you.
"Forget it, just do it casually." Chen Can finally agreed and left the kitchen.
After this retreat, Ou Ranyu stayed in the kitchen until half past eleven.
Chen Can went into the kitchen several times and was sent out by Ou Ranyu with gentle words every time.
Chen Can only knew that he was cooking porridge for so long that the pot must have boiled through. Chen Can couldn't bear to refuse his kindness, so he just let him do what he wanted.
After Ou Ranyu came out with a pot of paste, Chen Can could no longer let him go.
A pot of red paste.
While Ou Ranyu went to the kitchen to get tableware, Chen Can took a photo and sent it to the group of three.
Lightbulb No. 2 [Is this a new dish?]
Light Bulb No. 1 [@Go, this is the lunch that someone made]
Light Bulb No. B [Don’t go to his house for dinner recently]
Go [I hope I can still see tomorrow's sun [peaceful]]
Light Bulb B [No, it really won't kill you if you eat it?]
Light Bulb B [This thing looks like it has pesticide added to it]
Light Bulb No. 1 [We Don’t Understand]
Chen Can wanted to say something else, but Ou Ranyu had already filled a bowl and placed it in front of him.
"Can you tell you what you added?" Chen Can clenched the spoon, not knowing where to start.
"It's nothing, just some minced beef, some slices of greens, and a few tomatoes." Ou Ranshan looked innocent.
“A few” tomatoes.
Chen Can scooped up the "porridge" in the bowl twice and found that there were far more tomatoes than rice.
Chen Can stirred it twice more, and suddenly a hard object appeared in the bowl.
"What is this?" Chen Can poked the thing and asked.
"Maybe it's minced beef?" Ou Ranyu was not sure.
Chen Can: "...How about you try it first?"
Chen Can scooped a spoonful and brought it to Ou Ranyu's mouth.
"how?"
Ou Ranyu swallowed the spoonful of stuff as usual, without tasting anything at all.
"It's not as delicious as what you cook." Ou Ranyu took a bite and found nothing unusual.
That means you can eat it.
Chen Can felt relieved and took a bite carefully.
It tastes like tomatoes, not tomatoes.
After eating two more spoonfuls, Chen Can didn't know whether he was eating tomato paste or drinking rice paste.
It's edible, but it's really not tasty.
"Forget it, I'll start over." Ou Ranyu took the pot and prepared to pour it out.
"Wait." Chen Chao swallowed hard with something in his mouth and hurriedly stopped Ou Ranyu.
"Wasting food is a bad habit. If we really can't, how about we eat takeout?" Chen Can stuffed the leftover porridge in his hand to Ou Ranyu.
Ou Ranyu silently poured all the porridge into the toilet and flushed it away.
Chen Can swore that he would never leave Ou Ranyu alone in the kitchen again.
A few days passed in peace.
Chen Can and Ou Ranyu spend their days doing homework, researching new dishes, feeding fish, playing games, and occasionally going shopping or strolling in the park.
It's no different than before
Ou Ranyu was still the same as before, occasionally disappearing two or three times. The first time he disappeared was not long, so Chen Can didn't pay much attention to it. The next two times he disappeared were in the middle of the night. When Chen Can passed by Ou Ranyu's room, he found that there was no one there.
After he disappeared for the second time, Chen Can couldn't bear it anymore and asked a question casually. Ou Ranyu also answered casually. His attitude was not perfunctory, but concealing.
The third time it disappeared in the middle of the night, Chen Can sat in the living room holding Yu Hong and waiting. He wanted to see what this fish was hiding.
As Chen Can and Yu exchanged bewildered glances, Ou Ranyu was also thinking about Chen Can. Ou Ranyu had traveled through tens of millions of spaces and across hundreds of millions of light years, just to find traces of his existence. If he couldn't find those traces, then he would truly be nothing more than a non-existent thing, disappearing without a trace. He wanted Chen Can to remember him forever.
Maybe he was too greedy and wanted him to remember more than just that.
There are still many changes in the world, the passage of time, and the eternity of time that he will sink into.
Ou Ranyu finally returned to Chen Can. Chen Can was sitting in meditation with a fish tank in his arms. In the darkness, he heard the faint sound of a door opening and someone was slowly approaching him.
Ou Ranyu
You bastard.
Chen Can stood still, listening to the footsteps of the man getting closer and closer.
As soon as Ou Ranyu entered the room, he saw a familiar figure from behind. He deliberately amplified his footsteps and waited for the figure to walk in front of Chen Can and squat down to look at him. Chen Can did not open his eyes either.
Ou Ranyu gently stroked Chen Can's face, as if he was touching a precious work of art. The fish tank flickered, and the scales of the swimming fish reflected a faint light.
"Why did you give me this?" Chen Can asked suddenly.
Ou Ranyu's fingers gently rested on his lips, and he was silent like darkness.
"Because I like you so much."
As bright and clear as moonlight.
"I know." Chen Can was as calm as a lake under the moonlight.
Ou Ranyu concluded that he was angry, and not just ordinary anger.
"You like me, so you want me to be happy, give me gifts, confess your feelings to me, and indulge me in everything. You even want to use any means to monopolize me and be with me forever."
Chen Can opened his eyes and his gaze fell on Ou Ranyu.
"I know all this, but do you know that I know the same thing about you? If you're honest, then I'll be honest with you. If you want to be exclusive, then I'll be completely exclusive. If you're planning something dangerous and exclude me from it, I'll be unhappy."
"I'm sorry." Ou Ranyu said this, and there was no further words after a long time.
"That's not what I want to hear." Chen Can put down the fish tank, and ripples appeared on the water surface.
"I'll tell you when I find it." Ou Ranyu didn't want to disappoint Chen Can and make him sad. He would rather he was angry.
"Speak now." Chen Can grabbed Ou Ranyu's collar, threw him onto the sofa, and pressed him down with his thighs.
Ou Ranyu didn't struggle at all and let Chen Can press on him.
Chen Can had expected that he would not struggle, so he pressed him down for a while and then stood up to leave.
"Where are you going?" Ou Ranyu grabbed Chen Can's wrist.
"If you don't want me to care about you, then don't care about me either." Chen Can pushed Ou Ranyu away heavily.
"Let go." Chen Can shook it off a few times but failed.
"Don't let go." Ou Ranyu was worried about hurting Chen Can's hand, so he grabbed the corner of his clothes instead.
"Okay, let's just pull it like this." Chen Can stared at Ou Ranyu for a few seconds and decisively sat back on the sofa.
Ou Ranyu was pushed to the corner, his hand still holding the corner of Chen Can's clothes. Chen Can crossed his arms and said nothing, nor did he even look at Ou Ranyu.
Let’s see who freezes to death first.
Chen Can was so angry that he could only pull out his phone to play a small game. The entire living room was filled with only the sound of the small game music, and the atmosphere was a little quiet and eerie.
Chen Can turned the volume up to full blast, pretending no one was around. Ou Ranyu wasn't human, he'd admitted it himself. A being in time and space that could vanish at any moment.
Chen Can had never imagined that Ou Ranyu would disappear. If that day ever came, what could he do? He could do nothing. Just like now, Ou Ranyu wouldn't tell him what had happened, because even if he knew, he wouldn't be able to change it. He was just another ordinary person.
A tiny human being who can't change anything.
Very annoying.
The light from the screen made Chen Can's face look particularly pale.
Chen Can turned off his phone, pinched his sore eyes, and leaned weakly on the sofa.
I want to disappear with him.
Chen Can thought pessimistically for a long time, so long that Ou Ranyu thought he was asleep.
When Chen Can was leaning on the sofa, covering his eyes with his arms and meditating, Ou Ranyu loosened the corner of his clothes and gently picked him up.
Chen Can simply pretended to be asleep and let him carry him upstairs.
In the darkness, Ou Ranyu gently placed Chen Can on the bed, carefully covered him with a quilt, bent down, and gave Chen Can a long and gentle kiss on the forehead.
Chen Can seemed to be torn in two by this gentle kiss, revealing his burning flesh and blood. All his irritability and unwillingness had an outlet at this moment.
At the moment when Ou Ranyu separated, Chen Can reached out and hooked Ou Ranyu's beard, pulled him down, and kissed him roughly and savagely.
Chen Can forcefully pushed Ou Ranyu back onto the bed, and stretched out his tongue without any method to invade, rub, collide, and churn.
Ou Ranyu would respond to him tenderly, gently stroking his back over and over again with both hands to soothe his emotions.
Turning the tide, biting and tearing.
Ten minutes later, Chen Can leaned alone against the sink in the bathroom, glanced at the extremely unnatural part of his body, and turned away silently.
It will go away on its own.
Aren't you feeling upset? How did you almost do that?!
Chen Can asked himself in front of the mirror for half an hour,
When Chen Can returned to the room, Ou Ranyu was already sitting on the bed, his back straight with his hands resting naturally on the bed.
The only thing that doesn't seem natural is a certain part...
Chen Can could tell it if he looked carefully, but he just pretended not to see it.
Chen Can didn't dare to move closer to the bed for a moment. After a few awkward seconds, he moved to the bedside.
"Come over a little while, I want to sleep." Chen Can didn't ask him to leave, nor did he ask him to stay.
Ou Ranyu tacitly agreed to let him stay, and after Chen Can lay down, he lay down beside him.
Sleeping is just an excuse, relieving embarrassment is the real thing.
Chen Can maintained a stiff side-lying position.
Ou Ranyu only hugged him gently, half leaning against him. Perhaps because he felt that Chen Can's posture was too stiff, Ou Ranyu tried to make Chen Can lie down flat.
Ou Ranyu leaned slightly closer to Chen Can, his fingers lightly brushing across his arms, shoulders, and waist.
Chen Can recalled the previous scene at an inopportune time in his mind, and what was more clear was something rubbing against his tailbone.
Chen Can showed signs of reacting again, and quickly sat up and ran to the bathroom.
"Don't go." Ou Ranyu held Chen Can's hand.
"I'm going to the bathroom." Chen Can's voice was slightly hoarse, and he didn't dare to look at Ou Ranyu.
"Right here," Ou Ranyu begged, interlocking his fingers with Chen Can.
"Let me help you, okay?"
…
The day takes off the absurdity of night and comes.
Chen Can and Ou Ranyu tossed and turned all night and lay on the bed with their clothes neatly dressed.
Ou Ranyu woke up early, and like a wild animal, he used his greedy eyes to invade the sleeping person. When Chen Can was about to wake up, Ou Ranyu was Cinderella who hurriedly ran away from the dance.
When Chen Can woke up, the bedside was empty. He went downstairs and found Ou Ranyu washing his underwear in the bathroom.
If I'm not mistaken, it should be his.
"Good morning," Ou Ranyu said with a smile on his face.
"Good morning..." Chen Can replied dryly and quickly left.
It was as if everything had been taken care of by the snail girl. The house was cleaned and spotless, and breakfast was placed on the dining table, making one's mouth water.
When Chen Can came down from upstairs again, Ou Ranyu had already packed everything and was waiting for him to eat.
"This is takeout, not made by me." Ou Ranyu helped Chen Can move the chair away in a flattering manner.
She is really considerate and virtuous.
Chen Can really didn't want to blame Ou Ranyu anymore. He gladly accepted his service and put aside the past grudges for the time being.
"Tell me when you want to. Don't carry it all by yourself." Chen Can's attitude changed 360 degrees.
"I'll tell you when I find it, I promise."
"I'm always here for you, no matter what happens."
