He and him in another life

After smoking the end of the cigarette, he skillfully extinguished the cigarette butt on the wall behind him and threw it on the ground, then put his hand in his pocket, as if he didn't intend to smoke another one.

"I didn't realize that I'm still an old hand." Cao Ang smiled and flicked the cigarette ash casually, "Waiting for someone?"

"..." The young man didn't know why he was silent for a moment before replying, "It's sort of."

"Appointment?" This was the first thought that popped into my mind, and Cao Ang did say it.

The boy seemed to laugh, "It seems that you were an asshole in high school."

Cao Ang squinted his eyes and recalled that period of time, and said, "It's okay."

"Then I'm not as bad as you think."

Cao Ang froze for a moment, then laughed again, "Sorry, I didn't mean to offend."

"fine."

The young man's subtle attitude between awkwardness and straightforwardness reminded Cao Ang of someone, so his favorability increased a lot.

The two fell silent until Cao Ang smoked the second cigarette.

Before he could speak, the boy had already thrown the lighter over.

"Thank you." After catching it firmly, Cao Ang did not return the lighter immediately after lighting himself a cigarette, but played with it with great interest, "Unexpectedly, the arm-crank style also feels good .”

"There are so many things you didn't expect." The young man moved close to him at some point, held a cigarette between his fingers, and faced Cao Ang's burning cigarette.

Cao Ang stared at the face that was close at hand, completely stunned, and even dropped the lighter in his hand to the ground.

"you……"

"I've wanted to do this for a long time."

The young man shifted his weight forward, hooked one arm around Cao Ang's neck, and exhaled a puff of smoke with warm breath near his ear——

"elder brother."

Hold.Cao Ang thought, this is a failure.

As long as I see you, all my efforts will be in vain.

Cao Ang couldn't help laughing at himself.

After admitting cowardice, do you want to continue to admit defeat?
