There is a reason why Rong Jin has a soft spot for small bookstores. Apart from the fact that the place is quiet, there are few people and there are cats, the owner of the store regularly adds new ones every month.

Due to the strict control of the family in high school, parents have to see where the pocket money goes before spending it. Rong Jin has never seen books such as comic books, magazines, and novels.

Until he saw colorful and hot-blooded comics in this store, and then he was out of control, not addicted, but it made his life more colorful, so he quietly told his parents that he was doing homework at school , In fact, I was playing cats on the small sofa in the bookstore to read books, do homework, and forged a deep friendship with the cats in the store.

Thinking of the happy times before, the smile on Rong Jin's face deepened.

In the second semester of the second year of high school, here he came into contact with the first book about homosexuality in his life, saw the bookstore owner and a man quietly kissing behind the bookshelf, and then began a year-long period of self-acceptance.

Accept that you don't like girls, accept that you are different from others.

Rong Jin, who got into the alley, turned left for a while, then turned right for a while, and finally came to the small bookstore.The small bookstore has not changed at all, but the vines on the wall seem to have climbed a lot higher. The polite boss is still sitting on the sofa next to the counter, with glasses on his face and a book in his hand. The big white cat nestled next to him, yawning.

There seems to be a little difference. The small bookstore used to have no signboard, but now there is a wooden and slightly plain signboard hanging on the main entrance of the bookstore.The signboard is engraved with a picture of a cat playing with a small sapling, and next to it are two characters in curly script, 'cat tree'.

The seats in the bookstore are all arranged on the side of the window, but Rong Jin didn't see Gao Lixing outside, so he opened the door and went in.

As soon as the bell on the door rang, the boss raised his head and smiled, "Welcome." Then, he seemed to recognize Rong Jin again, and said with smiling eyes, "Long time no see, little classmate."

"Long time no see." Rong Jin is no longer the kid who ran away in a panic. He responded with a smile, walked into the bookstore, first stroked the cat on the sofa, and then followed his memory to the familiar place. On the bookshelf, the homosexual novel he read back then was still there, and now he was not in a hurry to find Gao Lixing, so he gently pulled it out and opened it.

In fact, he has already forgotten the ending of the plot in the book, and only remembers his shock after reading it.While he was still turning the pages of the book, Gao Lixing suddenly stood beside him and handed him a bottle of milk tea.

He has always liked to drink milk tea.

There are other people reading in the bookstore, so it's not a good place to talk.

Rong Jin took the milk tea, took the novel in his hand, and walked to the counter. Gao Lixing understood it and silently followed behind him.

The owner of the bookstore in front of the counter looked at the title of the book, looked at Rong Jin with some surprise, then waved his hand and said, "I'll give this book to you." After finishing speaking, he returned to his seat to read the book, and he would not refuse it. Chance.

Rong Jin thanked the boss for his kindness in a low voice, and walked out of the bookstore with Gao Lixing, and then passed a man in a suit and leather shoes.

He quietly squinted at the man.

That was the man who kissed the little boss back then.

very nice.

Rong Jin took Gao Lixing to a nearby milk tea shop.As Gao Li was walking, he suddenly snatched his milk tea, and clasped his hand with his ten fingers, took the initiative, and led him away.

Looking at the man in front of him who didn't care about the eyes of passers-by, Rong Jin's heartbeat started to speed up, and the hands he shook became hot.They arrived at the destination soon, Rong Jin gently shook off Gao Lixing's hand, lowered his head embarrassedly and walked in first, while Gao Lixing calmly ordered drinks before going in to find Rong Jin.

At this moment, Rong Jin had already found a booth and sat down, and was slowly flipping through the book in his hand, dragging his chin.He glanced nonchalantly at Gao Lixing who was sitting across from him, and continued to read his book.

"I'm sorry." Although Gao Lixing saw him, he was still a little flustered and apologized uneasy.

"I said I forgive you." Rong Jin didn't look at him, and his tone was a little impatient, but also a little inexplicably angry, "I didn't come out to hear your apology."

"Huh?" Gao Lixing concentrated on looking at his lowered eyes for reading, the long eyelashes made people feel itchy.

"I miss you." Rong Jin raised his head and glared at Gao Lixing fiercely, "It's all your fault, you made me angry, you almost lost your big baby, you know!"

Gao Lixing was captured by his frank miss, and after realizing it, he blushed a little, and his speech was a little awkward, so he said, "I miss you very much too." As he spoke, he held Rong Jin's hand, Let him feel his miss.

Rong Jin rolled his eyes greatly, but did not refuse his touch, "Next time you get angry, you must say, I don't want to lose the courage to chase you."

"Definitely." Gao Lixing agreed, rubbing his fingers.

At this moment, the waiter served drinks and interrupted their warm gaze. Rong Jin coughed and retracted his hand, took a sip of the milk tea that was brought up, and read his book pretending to be calm.

"What are you looking at?" Gao Lixing was curious about what distracted him.

"My sexuality enlightenment book." He said solemnly: "I wouldn't chase you without it, you know!"

"Do you know how I know I like boys?" Gao Lixing looked at his smug little eyes and asked back.

"What is it?" Rong Jin was really curious, and looked at Gao Lixing with questioning eyes.

Gao Lixing couldn't help touching his face, as if recalling the past, he chuckled, "It's you."

A quiet bookstore close to the school is simply an ideal place for reviewing. Gao Lixing often sneaks out of school during self-study classes to study in this small bookstore.

As an art candidate, he has a lot of free time, but he doesn't want to waste it, and devotes more time to the study of cultural subjects.

That day, when he went to the bookstore to review after school, he saw a teenager wearing the same school uniform as himself sitting by the window, stroking the cat with one hand.Doing homework with one hand.

He usually sat behind the young man, so he walked over, and when he passed by that man, he could clearly hear the broken thoughts in his mouth.

"Understood, you said you, are you getting heavier and heavier, and my legs are numb from the pressure, ah, algebra is so difficult and I can't do it, what should I do?"

Hearing the boy's words, Gao Lixing couldn't help but look down at him.

It was dusk at that time, and the dim yellow light shone on the side face of the young man. The white and tender face looked extraordinarily delicate, the dimples on his face that could smile, and the thick eyelashes were all engraved in Gao Lixing's mind at once, waiting for him to come back Overwhelmed, he was already sitting behind him, staring at the boy's back in a daze for half an hour.

This is not a good phenomenon.

Gao Lixing opened the book and began to force himself to study, driving the scene just now out of his mind.As soon as he calmed down, the boy in front started to pack up his things and go home. He quietly watched him from behind, frowned and whispered goodbye like a cat, for fear that others would hear his childish words.

cute.

Such a thought suddenly popped up in his mind, Gao Lixing was shocked even himself, and hurriedly shifted his eyes to his book, he didn't know what was wrong with him, how could he think a boy was cute.

It seems that the book can't be read.

Gao Lixing sighed, packed his things and went home.

After finishing my meal with a heavy heart, I told my parents to review and went back to my room, turned on the computer and started searching why I thought boys were cute.

Soon he got the answer, and after a while of silence, he turned off the computer and calmly accepted the fact that he might like boys.

He opened the book, and the boy's smile appeared in front of his eyes again.

Really cute.

After school the next day, he came to the bookstore again, and found that the boy was already sitting in yesterday's seat, reading a comic book with gusto.

It seems that he has finished his homework today.

Gao Lixing silently took the book and went behind him to start reviewing. When he was tired of reading, he looked at the lovely back figure in front of him, and continued to review with strength.

When the time was almost up, the boy started to pack his things, and he also started to pack his own things, followed behind him unhurriedly, and watched him go home.

Gao Lixing, who had a strict family education, was taught to be calm and self-restrained since he was a child. From the beginning to the end, he had no intention of confessing. He chose to try his best to perfect this sudden and even shameless secret love when he was about to leave in his third year of high school.

For a long period of time after that, he just paid attention to him silently in a place that the boy didn't know. It wasn't until the college entrance examination that he mustered up the courage to have an intersection with the boy.

So when he saw that the boy was troubled by the mathematics algebra that he was not good at, he sat down on purpose and taught him slowly, and then he got the boy's sweet smile and a "thank you senior" as he wished.

Gao Lixing went back to his seat, silently wrote his name that he saw in his notebook, tore it off, put it in his school card, and put the meal card in his schoolbag.

Rong Jin, the name sounds nice.

He stared at the book in a daze, but the boy in front of him turned his head and said with a smile: "Senior will have the college entrance examination tomorrow, please work hard."

His throat tightened, concealing the tension in his tone, "Well, do you have an ideal university?"

"Me?" The boy rolled his eyes, as if he was thinking, "It's a bit early for me to ask this question, but I really like University A in the city next door."

"I also like University A very much, so let's meet at University A." He looked at the boy's eyebrows, as if he wanted to engrave his appearance into his mind.

"Okay." The boy nodded, "I will work hard, and the senior will also work hard."

Although he could see that the young man didn't care about this agreement, he still had a little hope.If they really met in college, it would be a fate destined by heaven, and he would tell the boy his feelings for him.

No matter the ending is good or bad, there is an ending, instead of regretting for a lifetime alone.

So, when he met that young man on the stairs two years later, he had only one thought in his mind.

He will be mine.
