Chapter 27
"Do you think we are too close?"
Xie Ning, who was nestled in his arms, suddenly raised her head and said seriously.
"Really?" Pei Zhi didn't care. He concentrated on combing Xie Ning's hair with his fingers, "No, good friends are like this."
"When we came back today, didn't we meet a pair of good friends on the road? Not only did they hold hands and hug, they also kissed in front of so many people." Pei Zhi thought of this, frowned a little unhappy, and looked at Xie Ning's lips thoughtfully.
Xie Ning understood Pei Zhi's hint. He was silent for a moment, and said helplessly: "Can't you see? They are a homosexual couple."
Pei Zhi was surprised: "They are homosexual?"
Xie Ning: "..."
It turns out that Pei Zhi really can't see.
From this, it can be seen that even if a homosexual couple is intimate in front of Pei Zhi, as long as they don't speak out about their relationship, even if he feels uncomfortable and disgusted, he will only think that they are just good friends.
Just like Pei Zhi and Xie Ning now.
When the topic of homosexuality is mentioned, Pei Zhi's emotions seem to be a little bit wrong. The arm that was hugging Xie Ning slowly tightened, and in a very domineering posture, he held Xie Ning in his arms.
Xie Ning really likes this kind of physical contact that is so close that there is almost no gap, but he is also keenly aware that he is too dependent on this kind of contact. He should keep his distance, even if Pei Zhi doesn't, he should be aware of it.
He doesn't like the feeling of addiction, and hates losing control, but he already has the signs of addiction.
"Aren't you a straight man?" Xie Ning thought, it's not too late to control it now. He raised his head in Pei Zhi's arms and met Pei Zhi's gaze, "Straight men won't do this."
"They won't hold hands, nor will they hug each other as tightly as we do now, and they won't sleep in each other's arms."
Pei Zhi's expression became visibly solemn.
He looked at Xie Ning deeply, with a look of concentration, as if he was thinking about an extremely profound academic problem.
After a long time, Pei Zhi loosened his arms a little. Xie Ning breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that Pei Zhi was not unable to communicate.
Yes, Pei Zhi should understand what he meant -
suddenly, Xie Ning's eyes were spinning, and suddenly, he was pressed on the bed. The tall figure with a strong shadow shrouded the vision, and at the same time, lingering around him was the cold breath that belonged to Pei Zhi.
The hair was scattered on the forehead, revealing some of the bright white forehead. Because this action was too sudden, Xie Ning's eyes were misty and surprised, and she looked quite frightened and vulnerable.
"So, you don't want to sleep with me." Pei Zhi was facing the light, his expression was particularly profound. His tone was flat, "You don't want to continue holding hands with me."
Pei Zhi placed one hand on Xie Ning's side and the other palm on Xie Ning's lower back. Xie Ning felt a little itchy, and as soon as she moved, she was regarded as a struggle.
The palm on the lower back moved to the back, and Pei Zhi used a little force to lift Xie Ning up. At the same time, Pei Zhi pressed down on her lower body, and their upper bodies were almost stuck together.
Xie Ning: "!"
In her ears, she heard Pei Zhi's aggrieved voice: "You don't want to be with me anymore."
[My wife doesn't like me anymore. ]
[Did I do something to make my wife angry? Sorry, my wife, don't be angry. You can hit me or scold me, but don't ignore me. 】
【Don't stay away from me either. 】
Xie Ning was speechless. He said, "That's not what I meant. I just think that a healthy social relationship needs to maintain an appropriate distance. We are too close every day, which can easily lead to misunderstandings..."
Pei Zhi: "Misunderstanding?"
"Today, someone misunderstood that we were together, so they said those strange things." Xie Ning said, "I thought about it carefully, and our relationship is indeed a little too close and not appropriate."
"Why is it inappropriate? They misunderstood them, and it doesn't affect us."
Pei Zhi's face was full of restlessness, and his handsome and deep face was particularly gloomy in the backlight. His eyes were like iron chains that tightly bound Xie Ning, leaving no room for negotiation. He emphasized word by word, "Their opinions are not important."
The delicate and cold face was so close, Pei Zhi wanted to say something, but when he saw Xie Ning's eyelashes trembling slightly, he hesitated and finally remained silent.
Why did she suddenly stop talking? Did he scare Xie Ning?
Pei Zhi, who had been firm and tough, suddenly softened. Although he thought he was right, when he saw Xie Ning showing a fragile and aggrieved expression, his first reaction was to reflect on himself. He must have done something wrong just now.
He shouldn't have been so loud and his attitude shouldn't have been so strong.
But Pei Zhi still stubbornly believed that how he and Xie Ning got along did not need anyone else to say anything. With his mind in a mess, he slowly held Xie Ning in his arms, and pressed Xie Ning against himself with his big hands domineeringly. Their chests were pressed against each other, and their heartbeats seemed to be exchanging at this moment.
Pei Zhi gradually calmed down.
Pei Zhi said softly: "Was I too loud just now? I didn't mean to be aggressive to you, don't be afraid, I just..."
His eyelashes slowly drooped, "I'm a little sad."
"I thought we were very good friends."
The tall and sturdy figure is a very strong presence no matter from which angle you look at it.
At this moment, because of his depressed and gloomy expression, Pei Zhi looked like a stray dog abandoned by his owner on a stormy night. The cold night could not block the dampness of cold and sadness, making him look pitiful.
"You are indeed my best friend." Xie Ning thought about it, and still reached out her hand, her soft fingers penetrated into Pei Zhi's hair, and Pei Zhi obediently turned his face to Xie Ning's palm.
"But we are all adults, and adults should know when to stop. From another perspective, the emotions in a relationship are conserved. If we are too close in the early stages, will we become more distant and have more quarrels in the later stages? In other words, will we get bored faster?" Xie Ning explained to Pei Zhi in a simple and easy-to-understand way. He couldn't say it directly, but he was now somewhat addicted to this kind of close contact, and keeping a distance was good for both parties. He whispered again, "Isn't that right?"
"No," Pei Zhi said, "I won't get bored."
His tone was firm, "Never, ever."
"We won't quarrel either, and you won't be wrong." Pei Zhi also said, "I'll give in to you in everything."
It's not the same thing at all.
Xie Ning already knew that Pei Zhi was not as strong and cold as he appeared to be. In some ways, Pei Zhi was childish and almost stubborn.
Forget it.
Even if Pei Zhi didn't agree, he would keep his distance from Pei Zhi little by little, and could no longer satisfy his thirst for tanning through Pei Zhi at will.
This was not good.
Xie Ning: "It's not a good thing for us to be too close. Didn't you say that you were often harassed by gays? They might misunderstand, and they have the chance to misunderstand. You should keep your straight behavior, which can also reduce harassment."
"If you fall in love in the future, your lover will be unhappy if we get so close."
Pei Zhi's face was still a little ugly: "But I don't want to lose the opportunity to be close to you because of an unimportant person and the so-called straight man title."
He said, "And I won't fall in love with others."
Xie Ning was very surprised.
Not only did he develop a contact dependence on Pei Zhi, Pei Zhi seemed... also dependent on him.
Although Xie Ning did not go too deep into this topic, Pei Zhi could see that Xie Ning had made up her mind.
Pei Zhi thought for a moment, and an idea suddenly occurred to him. He suddenly grabbed Xie Ning's wrist, with a flash of excitement between his brows: "Straight men are not suitable for doing these things, so if I am gay, can I continue to be close to you?"
He looked into Xie Ning's eyes and said, "Then I am gay."
Xie Ning: "..."
He was speechless, surprised, and shocked, not knowing what to say.
Xie Ning tried to withdraw his hand, but Pei Zhi held it tightly, and his palm was pressed tightly against Pei Zhi's chest, feeling Pei Zhi's strong heartbeat. He said helplessly: "Don't joke."
Can sexual orientation be changed at will?
And Pei Zhi's statement was too careless.
As soon as Xie Ning turned his head away, Pei Zhi straightened his face: "I'm not kidding. Or, are you homophobic?" "
...You are the one who is homophobic."
"I'm not homophobic anymore. I'm gay now. Can I hold you to sleep later?"
Xie Ning refused mercilessly: "No."
"I'm a little sleepy, let's go to sleep." Xie Ning said, "Your body is a little hot, and I don't sleep well when I'm held."
At first, Pei Zhi wanted to fight for it, but after hearing what Xie Ning said next, he immediately let go.
"Was it the same before?" Pei Zhi hesitated for a moment and asked, "You were uncomfortable when I held you."
Pei Zhi never thought that Xie Ning might be uncomfortable, because Xie Ning's expression every time in his arms clearly showed that she liked it very much.
And he felt very comfortable when he hugged Xie Ning.
Xie Ning lied appropriately: "A little bit, I feel like I can't breathe."
Xie Ning had just laid down in the quilt. He and Pei Zhi were used to sleeping together. Suddenly, he was not hugged anymore. He was a little uncomfortable and missed the body temperature in Pei Zhi's arms.
He closed his eyes and his finger was suddenly hooked. It was Pei Zhi who was rubbing his finger.
Xie Ning opened his eyes.
"If you can't hug me, can you hold my hand?" Pei Zhi added, "One finger is enough. I won't disturb your sleep."
Pei Zhi seemed to be afraid of disturbing Xie Ning's sleep. He spoke very softly, with a somewhat lost and gloomy look on his face and his position on the edge of the bed.
Especially like a puppy who sneaks into bed without being allowed by his owner, trying to curl himself up into a ball to avoid being discovered and reduce his presence.
Xie Ning did not answer immediately. Just when Pei Zhi thought that he was not allowed to hold even a finger and was about to let go of her hand, Xie Ning said "OK". Xie
Ning: "You should go to bed soon too, take a nap, you have to go to KTV in the afternoon."
Pei Zhi rubbed Xie Ning's fingers: "Good night."
"Good night."
Pei Zhi was not sleepy at all.
Why did Xie Ning suddenly become so estranged from him? It was obviously not like this before. He could feel that Xie Ning liked to contact him, otherwise he would not climb up.
Did she abandon him because he was too clingy?
What did Xie Ning's friend say to her, or was it Su Nan who was trying to sow discord?
Or... is Xie Ning in love? !
Xie Ning repeatedly mentioned keywords such as love and straight men, and Pei Zhi didn't believe it was a coincidence.
Could it be that Xie Ning was not going to meet her friends today, but to go on a blind date, or to meet her date?
Is Xie Ning really in love?
Pei Zhi began to feel confused.
If Xie Ning was really in love, what would he do?
