Male supporting character in a book: Aren’t we brothers?

Chen Li stood at the bathroom door, hearing the sound of dripping water from inside.

If you look closely, you can see that his face is tense and his fingers are trembling slightly.

After a while, the bathroom door opened, and a tall figure slowly walked out, accompanied by damp steam.

The man saw Chen Li standing there stupidly and smiled: "What are you doing standing here?"

The man was tall and had obvious signs of exercise on his body, especially his muscular waist and smooth, attractive abdominal muscles.

A strong arm wrapped around Chen Li's waist, and the man smiled: "Are you sulking again? Can I tell you I'm sorry?"

Chen Li turned his head away, his tone filled with grievance: "You're not the one who made me angry, why are you apologizing?"

The man turned his face around, bent down and kissed him on the lips, gently and tenderly.

"It's me. It's all me."

Chen Li was a little confused by this posture, and his hands unconsciously fell on the man's waist. He raised his head and

Pearly teeth slightly open...

The man kissed him more eagerly, his hands stroking his back again and again.

"Next is my sincere apology, are you ready, baby?"

The body was picked up by someone, and then the whole person sank into the cloud.

........

At six o'clock in the morning, Xu He got up on time, with the erotic dream still replaying in his mind.

His breathing was a little heavy, and his eyes fell on the dried rose in the vase on the bedside table. He tried to take two deep breaths, got out of bed, changed his clothes and washed up.

When he came out of the bathroom again, he had changed his clothes.

After putting the dirty clothes in the washing machine to wash, he is used to picking up his mobile phone to check messages.

A series of work information was sent today, but none of the familiar information I had received before was sent.

give up?

pretty good.

He put on a stern expression, quickly tidied himself up and went out.

*

For the first time in his life, Chen Li got up half an hour late.

He got up in a hurry and was distracted until he left the house.

His mind was full of the blushing and heart-pounding dream from last night. Ever since he saw Xu He's waist on Qingchan Mountain that day, his dreams had undergone a major upgrade.

He moved on to the next step from the original manual transmission. Although the position was different from what he imagined, it was still an improvement.

Especially last night's dream, in which Xu He was tormenting him in the name of apology.

Fortunately it was a dream, otherwise he would definitely not be able to go to work today.

As for the reason for going up and down, Chen Li thought: It’s just a dream anyway, and it’s not certain who will be on top and who will be on the bottom!

After a busy morning of work, he remembered that he forgot to send a message to harass (cross out) Xu He today. He silently took out his mobile phone and sent both the morning and noon greetings.

*

summer.

The scorching sun scorched the earth, and the trees on both sides of the street were lush and green.

Chen Li squatted under a big tree and tirelessly bombarded me with messages, and from time to time he ran to the sun to bask in the sun.

"Get up." Xu He's voice sounded a little impatient.

Chen Li looked up in surprise and greeted him with a smile: "You're here." He said that this man must be reluctant to let him stay in the sun for so long.

He stood up suddenly, took two steps to the man, and hid under his umbrella.

"I'll call a taxi for you." Looking at this person who was getting too demanding, Xu He's voice was a little cold.

Chen Li ignored him and walked inside, pulling his clothes. "I'm not going back. Let's talk at your house."

Xu He didn't move. Chen Li turned around and said in a softer tone, "My arms are a little sunburned."

He was wearing a khaki short-sleeved shirt today, and his fair skin, which was usually wrapped in a high-end suit, was now covered with a circle of obvious red marks.

Xu He pursed his lips and walked in his direction, tilting the large black umbrella to block out the scorching ultraviolet rays.

Chen Li's eyes were full of pride at having successfully planned, and he pulled everyone towards the building where he lived.

........

"Apply it yourself." As soon as he got home, Xu He left him in the living room, walked to the refrigerator, found two ice packs and handed them to him.

Chen Li took it, felt the temperature, and pressed it against the hot part of his body.

This self-torture trick was not an act, he really stayed in the sun for a long time.

Xu He watched his movements. He tilted his head slightly, pressing the ice pack against the skin of his neck, his eyes narrowed with a look of comfort.

That white neck in his dream... and that expression...

His Adam's apple rolled, and he turned around and went to the refrigerator again. He drank a bottle of ice water quickly and took a bottle for the person on the sofa.

Xu He sat on the sofa beside him, looking at the man who had almost frozen the exposed skin, and asked directly: "Tell me about your business."

He did not forget the reason why this man asked him to go down.

Chen Li instantly restrained his expression, unscrewed the bottle of ice water on the table, and drank most of it.

His handsome face seemed to show a great determination, and from head to toe he revealed an emotion of deep regret.

"I know that what I did before has caused you trouble, and I'm here to apologize today." Chen Li said this very sincerely, like a man who had just been released from prison and was determined to mend his ways.

Xu He: “............” Good fellow, are you playing house with him?

Is his liking so casual? He likes it when he says he likes it, and dislikes it when he says he doesn't?

Xu He's face darkened.

Seeing Xu He's expression was wrong, Chen Li immediately continued with the next sentence: "Now you don't like me, and I have realized my previous mistakes. How about we just get along as normal friends from now on?"

how about it?

Xu He's handsome face was filled with laughter.

Is this person sure that he hasn't changed his method of attacking me?

He raised his eyebrows slightly, looking interested: "How do I know if you are just disturbing me in a different way?"

Chen Li immediately assured him repeatedly: "Of course not. I will never cross the line."

As he said this, he moved a little closer to Xu He. "Besides, isn't it good to have more brothers? Don't you think so, brother?"

Looking at the person in front of him who was trying to please others, an uncontrollable thought emerged in Xu He's mind.

He suppressed the impulsive thought in his heart and chuckled: "Not very good, and you are older than me, right? Why are you calling me brother?"

The ending tone of the word "brother" was stretched out, making it seem very ambiguous.

Chen Li's ears softened as he listened, and the tips of his ears couldn't help but turn red.

The two of them were not far apart now, and Xu He had good eyesight, so he saw all of Chen Li's reactions.

How can this man be so cute?

Just like the person in the dream.

He lowered his eyes, concealing the darkness in his gaze, and his fingers began to tremble slightly.

What Chen Li was thinking was: He even knows my date of birth, and he still says he doesn't like me.

"I'm used to you calling me that. I'll give you a chance to take advantage of me." Chen leaned back on the sofa and said indifferently.

A broken-pot attitude.

A hint of smile flashed across Xu He's eyes, but his words were still as critical as before. "What's the point of taking advantage of you? I'm not interested."

Chen Li had a strong mentality, and this didn't irritate him at all. He said bluntly, "Then I'll be your brother, and I'll take advantage of you. Come on, I'll take you out for dinner, and we'll celebrate our reconciliation."

He came in the afternoon and waited for this person downstairs for two hours. Now he came up and chatted with him for a while. It was just dinner time now, so taking him out to dinner could add a little bit of friendship.

Xu He: "Didn't you just say you walked here?"

Chen Li nodded. He had walked two blocks under the scorching sun to make his scheme more convincing. "Is there a problem?"

Xu He chuckled: "Then why are you taking me there?"

"I'll drive you there in your car, and then I'll take you back later." Chen Li thoughtfully helped him plan the itinerary.

"My car broke down."

Chen Li's eyes lit up, "Then I'll buy you one."

They could still pick out a car early, so they could spend more time together tonight.

Xu He: “….”

"Okay." Xu He smiled, stood up and walked towards the door.

Chen Li was overjoyed and hurried to catch up, but as soon as he walked out of the door, Xu He gave him a lesson.

"Bang——" the sound of the door closing.

"Goodbye." Xu He's smiling voice came from inside the room.

Chen Li cursed the old fox in his heart, but his expression showed a bit of grievance. He stared at the door with a slightly helpless look.

He was sure that Xu He was looking at him.

Xu He was indeed looking at him. He could clearly see Chen Li's aggrieved and helpless look on the small screen. He pursed his lips tightly and slid his fingers across the electronic screen, trying to touch the person outside the door.

Chen Li stood there for five or six minutes, and finally left in a depressed mood, while Xu He kept watching until his figure completely disappeared.

Chen Li changed after that day. He no longer sent Tiantian several messages, but he didn't completely lose contact either.

They still chat occasionally, and Chen Li no longer behaves out of line.

It can be said that this is the distance Xu He wants.

The roses became withered specimens, placed cherished by the bedside.

Time passed from summer to autumn.

Xu He woke up from his sleep again. Looking at his miserable self under the quilt, he rubbed his temples in frustration.

He felt that he needed to check his body, otherwise it would be a problem to change clothes every day.

Today's job was to help his eldest son choose holiday gifts, so he went straight to the mall. He had done this kind of thing many times, and it didn't take him too long to do it.

Looking at the dragonfly brooch in front of him, he thought of someone. He remembered how the person had complained to him in his dream yesterday that he was too indifferent to him, and his heart moved.

"Wrap this one too." It's Mid-Autumn Festival, so it's normal to give a friend a gift, right?

Once this person lets go of certain thoughts, his bottom line will continue to drop.

This signature pen suits his temperament very well, so I bought it.

This collar pin is suitable for him to wear when he is working. I have already bought it, so it doesn’t matter if I give him an extra one.

.........

But when he sent a message to someone, the answer he got was that he was on a business trip.

【Chen Li: Is there something urgent?】

【Chen Li: I'll be back tomorrow night.】

【Chen Li: Let’s meet then?】

【Xu He: Not really.】

Xu He: Okay.

【Xu He: Then I’ll wait for you.】

After sending the message, Xu He was still a little nervous. Looking at the thing he had put in a box, he began to feel conflicted again.

Until a quick ring of the phone rang, it was his mother calling for her life, he picked up the phone and answered it.

"mom."

"Hey, Xiaohe, have you eaten?" The voice in the receiver seemed very happy.

Just as Xu He was about to answer, the second question came from the other end of the phone.

"Are you off tomorrow? Are you going home for the Mid-Autumn Festival? When will you be back?"

She asked three questions in a row, and her speaking speed was so fast that Xu He felt that her first sentence was just a polite remark.

"Go back the day after tomorrow. No need to prepare anything." He answered concisely.

I thought my mother would ask him what he wanted to eat that day so that she could prepare it in advance, but the phone was hung up the next second.

Only a merciless beep was left.

Xu He: “…”
