Supporting a wife
City C has developed rapidly in recent years, but not all places have benefited from this era's dividends.
Away from the city center, there's an amusement park. Although the facilities are relatively new, there aren't many visitors. Nowadays, entertainment venues are all over the place, using all sorts of tricks to attract customers. Old-fashioned amusement parks like this can only attract some nearby children.
Xiaoxing is the son of an amusement park employee. He enjoys employee family benefits and can enter the amusement park without buying a ticket.
The little boys who just entered the first grade this year hid under a big mulberry tree, looking at the slide not far away. The eldest boy pouted unhappily and said to another boy next to him: "That brother monopolizes the slide every day. He is so bad. He doesn't know how to share at all." The teachers in the school all said that we should know how to share and not be selfish. I didn't expect that adults would not follow their principles.
The boy, holding a half-smashed piece of ice in his mouth, said nonchalantly, "The slide is so big, you can just go to the other side and play for a while."
Xiaoxing pouted and said, "I don't dare. He looks so fierce."
The little boy shook his head precociously and stuffed the other half of the shattered ice into Xiaoxing's mouth. "Stop nagging me! I heard this guy rented Uncle Zhao's house. I don't know how long he'll stay. I found another fun place. Let's go and build a new secret base!"
Xiao Xing got the message from her good friend and heard about the new secret base. She became excited and said, "Okay, okay, let's go. Let's just give this slide to that brother. I hope he won't be unhappy."
The two little carrots ran away in a flash.
The shady side of the slide.
Rong Yi sat on the grass, leaning against the slide, staring at the children's backs as they left for a few seconds, then looked away.
I should have finished my exams by now. What will I do next? Will I...
He thought aimlessly.
"Rustle--" The shoes stepped on the grass, making a light sound and slowly approaching.
Running back again?
Rong Yi lowered his head with disinterest, looking at an ant that had crawled onto his shoe.
It was not until a shadow that did not belong to a child covered the ant that Rong Yi raised his head, and then his whole body stopped.
Li Mantao looked down at Rong Yi in front of him, biting the soft flesh inside his lips tightly to prevent himself from revealing too much emotion.
After not seeing him for a few days, Rong Yi seemed like a different person.
He had lost a lot of weight and was wearing an ordinary T-shirt and trousers that were not his style. His long hair was unkempt and was blown messy by the wind. He hid in the corner with his head down, making people wonder where he came from.
Has he been staying here all these days?
Rong Yi came back to her senses, stood up, and smoothed her hair to reveal her face.
Facts have proved that face is indeed the best fashion item. He was a homeless man just now, but once his face was revealed, he became a handsome guy with a melancholy style.
However, when Li Mantao looked at him, he always felt that he was very thin. His face, which already had cold and hard lines, now looked even a little thin.
The two were silent for a moment, no one spoke.
Finally, it was Li Mantao who broke the silence first. "You...what have you been doing these past few days? Several people have come to me to ask you."
After saying this, Li Mantao realized that it sounded like an accusation... Maybe he really did have some resentment in his heart, resentful that Rong Yi had left without a word.
Rong Yi whispered, "Sorry to bother you, my phone is out of battery and turned off."
"Can't you charge it if it's out of battery?" Li Mantao realized his tone was a little out of control, so he stopped talking, pursed his lips, and said, "Aren't you hot? Do you want to stand here and talk forever?"
Rong Yi raised his eyes and saw beads of sweat on Li Mantao's forehead. "Let's go to my place."
"Um."
Li Mantao followed Rong Yi to a place that looked like a staff dormitory and went up to the second floor. He watched Rong Yi take out the key and open the door on the right. Finally, he couldn't help but ask, "Why do you live here?"
The right door on the second floor is where he and his grandfather used to live. This amusement park was built after the old tube-shaped building was demolished.
Rong Yi took out a pair of slippers and placed them in front of Li Mantao. "I don't have new slippers. These are mine. Wear them as is."
He didn't answer Li Mantao's question. He walked barefoot to the dining table, picked up the remote control and turned on the air conditioner. He then went straight to the kitchen to get a glass of water and handed it to Li Mantao who was still looking around the room.
This is a one-bedroom apartment, and the area is estimated to be no more than 30 square meters. Although there are not many things in it, it still looks crowded, which is a world of difference compared to Rong Yi's house.
Li Mantao took the water and took a sip. He was not thirsty actually. He drank a bottle of mineral water and a cup of milk tea given by Dong Yuan before coming here. But apart from drinking water, he didn't know what else he could do to avoid embarrassment.
It's funny, after resolving the misunderstanding with Rong Yi, he never thought that there would be such a speechless and awkward situation between the two of them.
Rong Yi remained silent, but Li Mantao did not forget the purpose of his coming here.
"Let Deng Yangshuo and your counselor know you're safe. They're all very worried about you. You still have exams. If you don't want to retake them next semester, take them. Don't let a momentary relationship put you off from studying."
Rong Yi responded in a low voice.
"Move back. This kind of employee dormitory shouldn't be rented out to others. If you get caught, they might lose their jobs."
"Um."
"Your house... I took all my things away. Thank you for taking me in during this time. I pay for the room and food, and the money you gave me as a tip. I will return it to you when I have enough money."
Rong Yi didn't say anything.
Li Mantao looked at the person standing opposite him and said, "I'm leaving."
The door opened and closed, and the room fell into silence.
Rong Yi walked to the window and watched Li Mantao appear in his sight and then gradually disappear.
He stood by the window for a long time before walking to the dining table and sitting down. He picked up the glass of water that he had only taken a sip of and took a sip.
After a while, he took out his mobile phone, opened WeChat, and sent a message to someone.
The man replied quickly.
Li Mi: Don't thank me, and don't give me money. I helped you because I didn't want to see Taotao in such a daze. I don't know if this is right or wrong, but you must let Taotao know that I did it.
Rong Yi put away his phone, and the image of Li Mantao's slightly red eyes when he found him flashed before his eyes. His throat felt dry, and he took another sip of water.
Manman still...cares about him.
In the milk tea shop.
Dong Yuan's cup of milk tea had already been finished. Beside him, Li Mi was holding his mobile phone, and the cup of milk tea in front of him was still full, but it did not receive the owner's attention.
Dong Yuan stared at her covetously for a long time, and when Li Mi lowered her head and reached for the cup of milk tea, Li Mi slapped her without mercy, "I'm already annoyed! Let's break up!"
Dong Yuan screamed, "Don't worry! I wasn't a good boy today. I completed the task perfectly!"
Li Mi was even more upset. He didn't expect that Li Mantao would do as Rong Yi said and come over right away.
She didn't understand her own psychology. She had been so obsessed with the random pairings before, but when she found out that Rong Yi had bad intentions towards Li Mantao, and saw Li Mantao's distraught look, she...
I don’t know what Rong Yi did to make Li Mantao so angry, just a confession?
But looking at Li Mantao's current appearance, it was obvious that he still cared about Rong Yi. Li Mi felt worried.
What will happen to these two people later...
Dong Yuan was still acting weird to attract attention. Li Mi clenched his fists tighter and tighter. He doubted for countless times whether he had made the right decision by agreeing to this guy.
Never mind. Love has no logic. Let’s just wait and see. Li Mi punched Dong Yuan on the head, thinking expressionlessly.

The amusement park is located in a remote area, so Li Mantao took the bus and then took several subways. After two hours, he finally returned to C University.
Along the way, he was thinking about whether it was the right choice to go there today.
He was shocked and surprised to know what Rong Yi felt for him, but he was even more astonished that Rong Yi had secretly filmed him for so long without telling him.
Anyone who finds themselves being secretly photographed for a long time, or even having their face touched while they are sleeping, would be scared.
The thought that Rong Yi liked him had never occurred to him. In his heart, Rong Yi could only be his best friend.
However, knowing that Rong Yi likes him, there are simply too many clues to prove it.
Judging from Rong Yi's attitude towards him and her meticulous care, does it look like treating him like a friend?
He is basically... supporting his wife...
Li Mantao felt ashamed of his thoughts.
And that night, Rong Yi said she wanted to kiss him to help him confirm his sexual orientation. Now that I think about it, she was just trying to benefit herself! She even said it as if she was sacrificing herself, which moved him deeply.
The intention of hyping up CP and selling homosexuality is even more obvious.
Li Mantao couldn't help but suspect that he was a fool for not realizing Rong Yi's thoughts.
But...if he hadn't accidentally picked up the wrong USB drive and found out about Rongyi's thoughts, would Rongyi have planned to stay by his side like this for the rest of her life?
What exactly does Rong Yi like about him? Her obsession is so deep...
Forget it, what is Guan Rongyi doing?
Li Mantao walked to the stall in a distracted mood and ordered a bowl of fried noodles to take back to the dormitory.
After eating the fried noodles, Li Mantao sat at the table for a long time, not knowing what to do, so he simply started drawing.
After this period of training, his speed increased a lot. It took him three hours to draw a portrait. Li Mantao sent the file to the owner, who quickly replied with a lot of praise.
Li Mantao replied with a love emoji.
The host then asked him if he had finished the exam, as everyone wanted to watch his live broadcast.
Li Mantao thought about it, felt a little bored, and wanted to talk to someone, so he replied: It will be broadcast later.
Seeing Shanzhu sending a string of excited emojis and saying he would tell others, Li Mantao pursed his lips, smiled, stood up, took his clothes and went to take a shower.
While taking a shower, he heard the door open and was a little puzzled as to why Kong Zhong would come back to live with him today.
After the final exam today, I thought Kong Zhong and Wan Shanlin would go out partying all night.
However, after coming out of the shower, Li Mantao was at a loss when he saw the man he had just met in the afternoon standing at the table packing things.
Rong Yi...why is she here?
And, it looks like he's planning to live here?
