Chapter 94
Yan Shu is not gay.
When a male colleague from the company comes to talk to him and gets too close, with his breath on his neck, he will be repulsed, let alone any physical contact.
But he is special to one person only.
This specialness seems to be innate, but has never been discovered.
After he said, "Let's try kissing again," the corners of the child's thin lips turned up and a smile appeared in his eyes. He saw it and felt like he had become the fish that Jiang Taigong talked about, and those who are willing will take the bait.
He took the bait.
This time the kiss was not as fierce and violent as the one in the corner of the stairs, but rather lingering and gentle.
The cramped cubicle exuded a damp smell mixed with a fishy odor. The sound of water came from the urinal outside. Two men were chatting and laughing, discussing where to go after get off work in the evening.
Yan Shu's legs and feet felt a little weak. He pressed his hands on Lu Shenxing's shoulders, and his protruding knuckles turned slightly white.
"breathe."
The voice in his ears was hoarse and turbid. Yan Shu did as he was told instinctively, absorbing oxygen in the brief gap.
The footsteps outside gradually faded away. Lu Shenxing took his hand out of Yan Shu's clothes and squeezed it with an unsatisfied look.
He went out first, lowered his head to straighten his slightly messy clothes, pulled his coat down to cover the gap where it was hanging high, and washed his hands in the sink as if nothing had happened.
Yan Shu in the cubicle took a few deep breaths, tugged at the hem of his coat, and when he came out, he accidentally glanced at the man in the mirror. His lips were red and swollen, the corners of his eyes were wet, and his cheeks were stained red.
He was stunned, and was so distracted by his own confused and delirious look that he was at a loss.
After taking a few steps, Yan Shu's back arched and he squatted down along the wall. "I want to be alone for a while."
Lu Shenxing didn't make any fuss and gave him time to calm down and accept it.
Yan Shu's mood was complicated. It was not that he had not kissed Mou Yun before, but it had never been passionate and crazy. The tip of his tongue was hurt by the ravages, and his mouth felt like it was on fire. Every drop of blood in his body was boiling.
He is not a young boy. It is precisely because he knows everything that he feels scared. Yan Shu needs to sort out his emotions.
Lu Shenxing didn't expect that Yan Shu was just a coward who would hide in his shell and not come out.
On the day Yan Shu moved out, Lu Shenxing stood at the window and watched him walk out of the community, with the milk carton in his hand sucked flat.
He left in such a hurry that he didn't even take the deposit for the house.
Xiaobai grabbed onto Lu Shenxing's trouser legs and pulled them down. Lu Shenxing bent down, picked up Xiaobai and put him on the windowsill. Xiaobai tucked his tail between his legs, and all the fur on his body was shaking.
Lu Shenxing sneered, "Coward."
I don't know if he was talking about the puppy or someone else.
He is a person who follows his own will. He may like this today, but may not like it in a few days. He will only like that soul for so long.
Lu Shenxing hooked Xiaobai's chin and said, "You have been mine for a long time, where can you run to?"
Everyone else knew that Yan Shu had moved away. His room was the only one with a small independent balcony. Although it was on the north side and there was not much sunlight, it was still very attractive to those people.
They were all eager to try and went to Lu Shenxing to say that they wanted to switch.
"That room is not for rent." Lu Shenxing crossed his legs and flipped through the book reviews.
Among them, Zhang Ping was the quickest-tongued. "Why? Isn't it free?"
Lu Shenxing slid the mouse to the bottom and said, "I saved this for my wife."
Everyone was stunned, "..."
This reason was so strong that they had nothing to say.
Everyone went back disappointed, but Zhang Ping was still standing there, "Landlord, they've all left, and it's just the two of us here. Just tell me, how much has the rent increased?"
As long as the price is within her acceptable range, she has no problem with it.
Lu Shenxing said lazily, "Zhang Ping."
Zhang Ping's eyes lit up, thinking there was something interesting going on. "You tell me."
She knew that house prices were rising rapidly, and the landlord must be embarrassed to ask for a lower price because everyone had lived there for so long. However, no matter how much it rose, it would not be higher than the price of her current master bedroom.
Just as Zhang Ping was getting excited, she heard a laugh, "Your pants are on backwards."
Looking down, Zhang Ping saw that the leggings she bought at the street stall for ten yuan each had threads sticking out like earthworms. Her face turned red as she thought about what she had done with her husband before, and she hadn't noticed it when she was wearing them.
She refused to run away. "Really not renting it out?"
"Didn't I just say that?" Lu Shenxing touched Xiaobai's soft belly, "My wife wants to use that room."
Zhang Ping still didn't believe it. "She's here, aren't you guys staying in the same room?"
Lu Shenxing nodded, "That room is used for work."
Zhang Ping, "..." She walked away sadly.
After regaining his composure, Lu Shenxing scratched his hair twice. Yan Shu would definitely come back. He was used to eating his food in previous lives, and this time would be no exception. It was only a matter of time.
"Go, give me the slippers." Lu Shenxing patted Xiaobai.
Xiaobai jumped to the ground, carried a slipper to the bed, turned around and picked up the other one. After finishing, it stepped on the slipper and wagged its tail at Lu Shenxing.
"You are so good." Lu Shenxing rewarded Xiaobai with a piece of dog food.
He went out in his slippers, opened the door of Yan Shu's room, and looked around inside. The cactus and asparagus fern on the computer desk were growing well. There was also a glass fish tank with a turtle lying there lazily.
The bedding on the bed was neatly folded. Lu Shenxing lay down on it and took a nap.
The next day he moved into Yan Shu's room, placed a lot of plants that did not need sunlight on the small balcony, put a rattan chair in there, and arranged it casually.
About half a month later, one night, Lu Shenxing discovered that there were many more readers under the novel he wrote on a whim. They all commented on every chapter, and they were not the kind of comments like "flowers" or "cheers". They replied to each one seriously and in length.
For a moment, Lu Shenxing thought he had clicked the wrong page and was reading someone else's novel. But after he clicked on the readers' accounts one by one...
Lu Shenxing was at a loss whether to laugh or cry.
They're all the same person.
After he finished writing the update that day, he wrote a string of words under the article: I have a blind date tomorrow, so I'll be off for a day. Sorry.
There was a lot of wailing under the post. One reason was that the place where Lu Shenxing stopped was where Xin Liang confessed to him, and the other was that tomorrow was Valentine's Day, a day for dog abuse, and they wanted to be caressed.
The next day, Lu Shenxing prepared dog food and water for Xiaobai, and went out alone, strolling on the street. He knew someone was watching him, and that person was Yan Shu.
He pretended not to know, put his hands in his pockets and looked around as if he was looking for someone.
"Would you like to buy some flowers, sir?"
Lu Shenxing turned around and saw a little girl standing behind him with a basket. He glanced at the roses in the basket and asked, "How much is one?"
The little girl smiled immediately and said, "Ten dollars."
Lu Shenxing took out ten yuan and gave it to the little girl.
The girl put the money away and said very professionally, "Happy Valentine's Day, sir."
Lu Shenxing curled his lips, "Thank you."
As he turned the corner, a hand grabbed his wrist from behind. The warmth was familiar, and he knew who it was without even looking.
"That..." Yan Shu was speechless.
Lu Shenxing turned around, pretending to be surprised, and frowned, "It's you."
Yan Shu swallowed and said, "Hmm."
No further information.
"Let go." Lu Shenxing saw his embarrassment, "I still have a blind date to go on."
It turned out that they were actually going on a blind date. Not only did Yan Shu not let go, he held on even tighter.
Lu Shenxing said nonchalantly, "I met her online. She's pretty and sensible. I have a very good feeling about her." He showed a serious attitude, "I'm not being a hooligan. I'm going there with the intention of getting married."
After these words were spoken, the atmosphere among them changed.
Yan Shu seemed to hear a string in his head tense with terrifying force, then snapped, leaving his mind blank. When he saw the bright red rose, he suddenly exploded, "I won't allow it!"
Lu Shenxing suppressed the emotions that were about to burst out of his eyes, "What?"
Yan Shu's rationality was slowly returning. He was no longer as impulsive as before, and he felt a little insecure. "Didn't you say you would let me take care of it?"
His voice became much softer, and he looked directly at Lu Shenxing, "I don't agree with you going on a blind date."
Lu Shenxing smiled with a fake smile and a sarcastic expression, "You've already run away, why are you still in charge?"
Yan Shu's eyes dropped, "I'm sorry."
He pursed his lips again and again, "I don't like men..."
Lu Shenxing heard this shy man seemed to muster up a lot of courage, "I think I like you a little bit."
He reminded, “You are contradicting yourself.”
"No." Yan Shu frowned and muttered to himself, "You are the most special."
"I thought that just moving out would solve the problem." Yan Shu's eyelashes kept trembling and he sighed in frustration, but that was not the case. He began to think about all kinds of things, but they were all unreliable.
And he actually drew the face of a game character onto this child.
He felt guilty at the time, fearing that he would be discovered by his colleagues, so he turned off the computer with trembling hands.
From that day on he was sure he was finished.
It's strange to say, he has lived there for more than three years and didn't have any special feelings towards the landlord before, but it suddenly changed recently.
What's even more ridiculous is that he went to read the novel written by this kid and left encouraging messages under many pseudonyms, hoping not to be discovered by the other party, but at the same time expecting the other party to know.
He had never done such childish things when he was young.
Yan Shu felt mixed emotions, as if he was being boiled in a pot, feeling extremely tortured. He secretly glanced at the child he had caught.
"Let me ask you." Lu Shenxing stared at Yan Shu, not missing any subtle changes on his face. "Do you understand the difference between Mou Yun and me?"
Yan Shu's Adam's apple rolled, and after a while he said, "Understood."
He spent these days figuring out that Mou Yun was his past, and the good and bad were all in the past. He was absolutely certain of what he wanted to give to this child in his present and future.
Seeing the man in front of him looking like he was waiting to be punished, Lu Shenxing's eyes darkened. He saw a hotel nearby and said, "Let's go get a room."
Yan Shu's eyes widened, not reacting, "What do you mean?"
Lu Shenxing raised his lip, "Literally."
