Window Confession

Zou Weichen was answering the phone on the terrace.

After dinner, Shan Yun entered the room, came to the window sill, saw the person opposite him, and immediately waved with a smile.

Zou Weichen also smiled slightly, waved at him, and continued to answer the phone, looking up at Shan Yun several times during the call.

Shan Yun sat in a chair, his chin resting on his hands, looking at the person opposite him, and didn't even notice the ringing phone.

He didn't notice it until the call was about to end and picked up the phone.

It was Xu Ru calling.

"My dear son, what are you doing?"

"To see people." Shan Yun answered briskly, but realized that he had said it a little frivolously, and replied: "Nothing, I just finished dinner and returned to my room."

Xu Ru was a little surprised. It was rare that she didn't hear his usual cold tone when she called Shan Yun. Was he in such a good mood today?

The mother and son chatted for a long time, which was a rare occasion, until the solar lights on the opposite terrace came on and the topic ended.

"When will my son come back?"

Shan Yun just remembered that he had graduated for quite some time, had filled out his volunteer application, and had not been home yet.

He had planned to travel, but he hadn't thought about going back home. He felt a little guilty. Why not go back home while Zou Weichen and Jiang Zhe are still recuperating in the past few days? He could still have time to travel after returning.

But when he saw Zou Weichen sitting opposite him with his head down, operating his mobile phone, Shan Yun was reluctant to leave for so long.

He has been away for several days. He feels depressed when he can't see him for a day. How can he bear it for several days?

"I recently made an appointment with a friend to go out and play, so I might be late."

In the end, he was reluctant to agree to go back.

"Then tell Mom in advance when you come back. Mom is on a business trip recently and may be gone for a while."

"Well, go on your business trip with peace of mind. I'll let you know in advance when I get back. Even if mom isn't here, I can be home alone."

Xu Ru was obviously stunned. She had actually been planning this call for a long time. In the past, when Dan Yunyi knew that she was going on a business trip, he would be unhappy and would either speak in a cold tone or hang up the phone directly.

Today is different from usual.

Did transferring schools cause such a big change in my son?

"You told me in advance, and Mom came back quickly." Xu Ru emphasized again uncertainly.

After Shan Yun had been away for a long time, she realized that she owed her son too much and wanted to make up for it as much as possible.

"It's okay. I understand that you're busy with work." Shan Yun changed his posture, climbed onto the windowsill and sat down, then glanced at the person opposite him, "Mom, I know someone..."

"Um?"

"It's okay. If you're on a business trip, I'll go hang out with my friends first and I'll go back when you come back."

After hanging up the phone, Shan Yun breathed a sigh of relief. He looked at his phone. Just now, just now, he suddenly wanted to mention Zou Weichen to Xu Ru.

He wanted to tell his mother that he had met a nice guy and he seemed to like him.

Ever since the school anniversary, Shan Yun's heart has become more and more restless, especially in recent days, his heart has always been floating with Zou Weichen, ups and downs, and he is particularly restless.

When eating, lying down, or even talking to people, I would always think of Zou Weichen unconsciously, and then think back to the little things since they met, and I would discover more and more about the excellence and shining points of each other in various details.

How could Zou Weichen be so outstanding?

Not only the person, face, and figure, but even his every frown, smile, and gesture have entered her heart.

This feeling of joy came so suddenly, so simply, and so cleanly.

He felt that the feelings in his heart were about to overflow.

"What are you thinking about?" Zou Weichen waved his hand in front of Shan Yun.

Shan Yun came back to his senses, looking a little flustered. He just wanted to confess to his family that he had someone he liked, and now this person was looking at him right in front of him.

"No, nothing." Shan Yun laughed and said, "I just talked to my mom on the phone. It's been a while since we talked for so long."

"By the way, who were you talking to on the phone just now? You talked for such a long time, and even after hanging up, you kept looking down at your phone?" Shan Yun was very good at changing the subject.

"The street official wants to ask for some information. He asked me to record it."

Shan Yun said "Oh" and thought of the phone call he had just had with Xu Ru.

The call lasted more than half an hour.

Shan Yun turned off the screen of his mobile phone, leaned against the wall, and looked up. The night sky under the night sky was red in the direction of the city, but above them, there were scattered stars.

"When I talk to my parents, the phone calls never last more than ten minutes, maybe even less than five minutes. Also, in the past, whenever I heard my mom say she was going on a business trip, I would get very upset. Not only would I speak in a harsh tone, I would even hang up the phone. Now that I think about it, I was so ignorant before."

"Am I really so ignorant and childish?" Shan Yun turned his head and asked.

Zou Weichen nodded.

Shan Yun pouted. He didn't expect that he would nod without even thinking about it. It seemed that he was really ignorant.

"When Grandma Xu asked me to help you decorate your room, I saw that you were so cute in the photo, and I thought you should be easy to get along with. I didn't expect that when you first came, you were really childish. You looked up at everyone and were full of anger, as if everyone owed you eight million, and you were still not convinced."

"I wasn't in a bad mood when I first arrived. Can you imagine that on your 18th birthday, your mom agreed to celebrate it with you, but you ended up being alone? A group of classmates you barely interacted with suddenly showed up and ate a lot of food in the name of a birthday party and a farewell party, but no one asked why you transferred to another school. When you got home, you had to pack up your things while looking at the untouched cake, and then rush to a strange place on the Lantern Festival the next day. How did it feel? At that time, I felt like I was a child abandoned by my parents and no one would want me sooner or later."

Yes, the night of separation was Shan Yun’s eighteenth birthday, a particularly unforgettable adult birthday.

"Do you regret coming here?"

Zou Weichen climbed up the guardrail and sat down facing Shan Yun.

Shan Yun looked at his series of neat movements and shook his head.

He has no regrets at all and even feels fortunate for his choice.

Here he has his grandmother who loves him, his naive school idol friend, Jixiang who shares gossip with him every day, and the warm and simple neighbors. His life is ordinary but warm.

The key is.

He met the man in front of him.

The boy who made his heart beat like a drum.

Shan Yun supported half of his face to admire the handsome face opposite him. Suddenly he remembered something and asked, "When is your birthday? How old are you?"

"August 20, 19."

He is actually one year older than me!

Shan Yun put away his hand, feeling suddenly disappointed. He vaguely remembered that Zou Weichen's birthday was during the summer vacation, but he didn't know the exact date. He wanted to take advantage of his birthday to give him some surprises. He also thought that if he took a year off from school, he might be older than Zou Weichen, and then he could trick him into calling him brother.

On his birthday, when I had completed my plan, I heard him call me brother.

People, when the relationship between two people is still not decent, start to be greedy and even want others to call them brother.

How shameless.

"What?" Shan Yun muttered, "I'm actually nineteen."

Zou Weichen smiled and said, "I've graduated for a year, and I took a year off before that. It's normal for me to be one year older than you."

"You've also dropped out of school?"

Zou Weichen nodded.

Shan Yun laughed and said, "What fate has brought us together? Jixiang took a year off to wait for his younger sister, who was one year younger than him, to go to the same elementary school together. Jiangzhe took two years off because he injured his legs playing basketball. I took a year off because of an injury, so you should take a year off too."

Zou Weichen looked at Shan Yun and suddenly smiled: "You ask me how old I am, don't you have any purpose?"

Shan Yun waved his hands hurriedly.

Zou Weichen smiled again and turned his gaze to Shan Yun's right arm. Shan Yun always subconsciously covered his right arm.

Shan Yun said that his right hand was injured and he had to drop out of school. When I hear the word "drop out of school" again now, my mood is completely different. If I had known him at that time and been by his side, perhaps he would not have been injured so badly.

Thinking of this, he jumped off the guardrail, took a step forward, gently grabbed Shan Yun's right arm, pursed his lips, lowered his eyes, and gently stroked Shan Yun's arm with his thumb.

The arm was clean and white without a single mark, but he seemed to be able to see that Shan Yun had covered his arm, which was in so much pain that he had lost all feeling, and walked on the street for a whole day, and then endured for several days before having the surgery. It took great endurance or despair in his heart to ignore the pain in his body.

A little bit of heartache emerged.

"Do you feel so sorry for me?" Shan Yun placed his palm on Zou Weichen's hand.

Zou Weichen nodded and said softly: "If we had known each other earlier, maybe I could have walked here with you then."

Shan Yun was in a good mood when he heard this. His eyes turned and he held his chin and said, "Then, promise me a few things and I will feel better." He did not wait for Zou Weichen to agree and continued:

"I want to celebrate your birthday, can I?"

Zou Weichen nodded.

"If you have any problems in the future, please speak up and let everyone share the burden. Don't bear it alone."

Zou Weichen nodded again.

"From now on, don't be so willful, and don't get hurt again."

Nodded again.

"In the future, you need to smile more, but don't smile at everyone."

"You can't go back on your promise to me. You must listen to me and don't do anything I tell you not to do, especially if it means getting yourself hurt."

Zou Weichen nodded obediently. Shan Yun looked at such a well-behaved person, and felt more and more comfortable. He continued: "From now on, you are not allowed to call me Shan Yun, but Ah Yun."

"Ayun, is that so?"

"Ah? Ah!" This sentence came so suddenly that Shan Yun was caught off guard and blushed. "You, you, why did you scream so suddenly? I'm not mentally prepared yet."

"Let me try."

Is this called a trial call? This call is clearly very skillful, without any awkwardness.

Shan Yun waved his hand and asked Zou Weichen to return to his seat. This man usually looked serious. Apart from being handsome and outstanding, he didn't have any special personality traits. How come he would say something so surprising sometimes?

Of course, it was a pleasant surprise.

He must be kept away from him, otherwise he would not be able to bear it if this continued.

"Wei Chen, you said you might like men, right?"

Zou Weichen had just turned around and was about to sit back on the guardrail, but when he heard Shan Yun's question, he turned back and tilted his head to look at him in confusion.

Shan Yun stared into his eyes, but his heart was pounding and his face was burning. He supported his hands on both sides of his body, leaning forward slightly, and his lips moved slightly, as if he had something urgent to say.

He knew that from his heart to his mind, there was only this thought at that moment, running through his mind, making it impossible for him to seriously calm down and think about the consequences of saying it.

He didn't think about the consequences and just wanted to say what he had been holding back for a long time.

That sentence——

If so, could that man also be me?
