dislike
Qiu Zimuren froze. He didn't know what state he was in. His head was pressed against Wang Zhiyi's chest, rising and falling with his rapid breathing.
Wang Zhiyi paused for a moment, and seeing that the person in his arms had stopped shivering and was beginning to warm up, he urged, "Hide under the quilt and don't come out again. I'll go buy you something warm."
Seeing Wang Zhiyi stand up, Qiu Zimu immediately grabbed him and said, "Don't go. It's very cold outside."
"I'm fine, you go to sleep." Wang Zhiyi insisted on buying him a hot water bottle.
Qiu Zimu pulled the person onto the bed and covered him with the quilt, not letting him go: "Hold me to sleep, you'll be warm..."
As soon as he finished speaking, Qiu Zimu felt his whole body getting hot, especially his face, which seemed to be burning. Thinking of what he had just said, he wanted to slap himself in the face. How could he say such shameful words?
Wang Zhiyi was silent for a while, then lay down and held Qiu Zimu in his arms: "Go to sleep."
Qiu Zimu didn't have to worry about being cold right now, but he couldn't sleep at all. Although he was only 5'7" and had been called "potato" since childhood, he still had the dignity of a man. Now, he was sleeping in another man's arms, and he had asked for it. Where was his dignity? What would happen if this got out? Qiu Zimu just wanted to get out of this shabby place with no air conditioning and no electric blanket.
In the past, when he couldn't sleep, he would close his eyes and count insects, and then fall asleep while counting. Today, he counted all the insects he caught and was still wide awake. Qiuzi admired Wang Zhiyi.
"What's wrong?" Wang Zhiyi asked.
"You haven't slept yet." Qiu Zimu said.
"Well, I just ran for a while and I feel refreshed." Wang Zhiyi said.
"Hey, do you have someone you like?" Qiu Zimu asked gossipingly.
"Yes." Wang Zhiyi said.
"Oh." Qiu Zimu's heart suddenly skipped a beat. "Then don't hold me in your arms when you sleep. I'm already warm. Thank you."
Wang Zhiyi didn't really want to let go. He silently let out the breath that was stuck in his chest, then let go of Qiu Zimu and turned to get out of bed.
"Just sleep on the bed. The ground is cold." Qiu Zimu said.
"Don't you dislike me? I'll just sleep on the floor." Wang Zhiyi said.
"Who said I dislike you?! I don't dislike you!" Qiu Zimu explained.
"You kissed me this morning and ran straight to the bathroom to take a cold shower. Now you're clearly not warm and you don't want me to stay close to you. Isn't this considered disgust?" Wang Zhiyi said.
Qiu Zimu heard that it was indeed the case, but he didn't think so in his heart. He just felt that it was not good for two grown men to be like this. Qiu Zimu knew that the more he explained, the more confusing it would be, so he simply hugged Wang Zhiyi: "I don't dislike you! If you have someone you like, you should hug the person you like. Hugging me is so uncomfortable... If you think I dislike you, then just hug me and sleep. I don't care. I'm warm anyway."
"Well, I just don't want you to be cold, I don't have any other thoughts." Wang Zhiyi said.
"What do you mean?! Does that mean I have other ideas?" Qiu Zimu retorted.
"No, what I mean is that I didn't consider the issue of likes or dislikes. I think the question was not comprehensive and my reaction was slow. Don't blame me." Wang Zhiyi explained in a gentle voice.
Qiu Zimu didn't want to continue arguing with him. He did have a lot of weird ideas, but he had never heard that Wang Zhiyi had someone he liked before, so he started gossiping out of curiosity: "Are you with the person you like?"
"No." Wang Zhiyi said.
"Why don't you confess your feelings? You are tall and handsome, you should have no failure in pursuing girls." Qiu Zimu said.
"I dare not. I'm afraid he will dislike me." Wang Zhiyi lowered his eyes and smiled.
"Brother, are you sure? Have you ever looked in the mirror to see how handsome you are? How could I possibly dislike you?" Qiu Zimu said.
"I'm different from him." Wang Zhiyi said.
"What's the difference? One is a man and the other is a woman?" Qiu Zimu sneered.
Wang Zhiyi smiled and said, "Don't ask anymore, go to sleep."
"When you fall in love with your girlfriend in your arms and sleep with her, don't tell her that you once hugged me to sleep. It's too embarrassing." Qiu Zimu said.
"I don't know how." Wang Zhiyi smiled and pulled the person into his arms, took the thermos that had been thrown away and handed it to Qiu Zimu, then put his hand on the back of Qiu Zimu's hand.
The string to the kite in Qiu Zimu's mind suddenly snapped, and all sorts of random things flew off in a swarm. He actually had a physiological reaction to being held by a grown man...
Qiu Zimu thought of Ye Jingan and Brother Liu, and thought to himself that it was over! Qiu Zimu struggled to get up: "I want to go to the bathroom."
"It's just warm, it will be cold when you go to the toilet." Wang Zhiyi said helplessly.
"I need to use the toilet. I can't hold it anymore." Qiu Zimu said.
"Then put on your clothes before going." Wang Zhiyi said.
"No need, just wrap yourself in a blanket." Qiu Zimu jumped out of bed and rushed to the bathroom.
"Blanket? You..." Wang Zhiyi muttered to himself as the man ran away, "Is it convenient to go to the toilet wrapped in it?"
Qiu Zimu was relieved to see that Wang Zhiyi didn't follow him out. He turned and went into the bathroom, and just as Liu Muze came out, Qiu Zimu was startled: "Brother Liu is still awake."
"I was just about to ask why you two haven't slept yet. What are you busy with running around and shouting so loudly in the middle of the night?" Liu Muzhe said unhappily.
"Uh... sorry to bother Brother Liu, there was a little accident, hahahahaha... I went to the bathroom and then fell asleep." Qiu Zimu took two steps and turned around to ask, "Do Brother Liu and Ye Jingan both sleep in each other's arms?"
Liu Muze frowned and was about to speak when Qiu Zimu hurriedly closed the bathroom door: "Good night, Brother Liu!"
Liu Muze: "..."
After Qiu Zimu calmed down, he stood in the bathroom, not wanting to leave. He really didn't know what was going on. He was adamant that he didn't like men, and it must be due to some unknown reason. He hadn't been afraid of the cold when sleeping before, but this time was also abnormal. Qiu Zimu thought about finding Ye Jing'an tomorrow to understand the problems between the two men so that he could make a judgment.
"You're back. Is the bathroom cold? Come up quickly." Wang Zhiyi naturally hugged him in her arms.
Qiu Zimu thought about how he always saw Ye Jingan hugging Brother Liu. They were brothers who grew up together, but Ye Jingan hugged someone else while he was hugged by someone else. What kind of thing was that? If Ye Jingan knew about it, wouldn't he laugh at him to death? Qiu Zimu raised his voice: "Take your hand away!"
Wang Zhiyi thought Qiu Zimu was disgusted with him again and pulled his hand back aggrievedly. Qiu Zimu domineeringly hugged Wang Zhiyi and pulled him into his arms, holding his head and said, "Go to sleep."
Wang Zhiyi: “???”
Qiu Zimu didn't find it strange anymore; it turned out the position was wrong. Wang Zhiyi had an unusual sense of smell, and with his nose pressed against his clothes, he found no odor. "Why is there no smell when you go to the bathroom?"
"My shit smells good." Qiu Zimu said seriously.
"..." Wang Zhiyi asked, "What happened just now? Your heart is beating so fast."
"No, I just came back from a cold run." Qiu Zimu smiled guiltily.
"Faster." Wang Zhiyi said.
Qiu Zimu pulled his hand away and moved a little further away from Wang Zhiyi: "It's my first time sleeping with someone else in my arms, I'm nervous."
"It's okay, I'm homeless, you take me in and take care of me. Last time, it was my fault that I failed to protect you, causing your soul to be sucked out and your physical condition to deteriorate. Don't be embarrassed, just treat me as a hot water bottle." Wang Zhiyi said.
"Don't you have any other relatives?" Qiu Zimu suddenly realized that he didn't seem to know Wang Zhiyi very well. He had asked Wang Zhiyi's family before, but he frowned and didn't want to say anything. Qiu Zimu guessed that this was Wang Zhiyi's sad story and he didn't want to talk about it, so he didn't ask any more questions.
"I don't have any other relatives, only my mom and dad. But they were killed when I was little. I ran away because I was playing around and escaped. When I came back, I saw that they had been dismembered and there were ants surrounding them eating the flesh." Wang Zhiyi said.
"I'm sorry, I..." Qiu Zimu suddenly felt very uncomfortable. He thought Wang Zhiyi didn't say anything because they had a quarrel or a conflict, but he didn't expect it to be like this.
"What's there to say sorry for? It's me who should be thanking you." Wang Zhiyi said with a smile.
"Don't you have any friends?" Qiu Zimu asked.
"No, they bullied me when I was little, and now they are afraid of me. My parents were dismembered, and I don't want to make friends with others." Wang Zhiyi said in a cold tone.
"What about me?" Qiu Zimu asked weakly.
"You are different." Wang Zhiyi said.
"Well, I will protect you." Qiu Zimu hugged Wang Zhiyi, but he always felt something was wrong...
In the morning, Qiu Zimu got up uncomfortably, his nose was blocked and his throat was sore. He probably caught a cold when he ran out last night. Wang Zhiyi woke up with his movement and said that he heard Qiu Zimu's voice sound strange in the morning, so he quickly got out of bed to pour Qiu Zimu some hot water.
After washing up and drinking hot water, his throat felt much better. Qiu Zimu walked to the dining table, holding the cup in his hand, waiting for breakfast, thinking about asking Ye Jingan something.
Ye Jing'an and Liu Muze walked out of the room. Ye Jing'an patted the table and said, "Why are you daydreaming so early in the morning? Your bugs are coming."
"Oh." Qiu Zimu picked one up with his fingers and put it in his mouth.
Wang Zhiyi took a small blanket and covered Qiu Zimu: "Wear more clothes, don't let it get serious."
"Caught a cold?" Ye Jing'an grinned and laughed at him, "Old Qiu, you're getting weaker and weaker. Tsk tsk tsk, if you're cold, let Wang Zhiyi hold you while you sleep, hahahahahahahaha!"
Qiu Zimu's heart skipped a beat, and he had already hugged her. He understood one thing: he must not ask Ye Jing'an about the affairs between the two men, otherwise he would be laughed to death.
Qiu Zimu set his sights on Liu Muzhe. Brother Liu was calm and reserved, and he would definitely not laugh at him, nor would he tell others what he knew. It would be better to ask Brother Liu.
However, Qiu Zimu found that he seemed to have no chance to ask Brother Liu. The two of them were really stuck together 24 hours a day, and Ye Jingan followed Brother Liu wherever he went.
Wang Zhiyi told them that the sacrifice would begin at twelve o'clock and they could leave after dinner. Liu Muze ate quickly and went upstairs to clean up first. Ye Jingan picked up another bowl of rice noodles and chatted with Uncle Fan while eating, learning about the sacrifice.
Qiu Zimu seized the opportunity to sneak into Liu Muze's room and asked, "Brother Liu, do you have time?"
