The Third Rose

Chen Xingze felt that Lu Hao was a little strange recently, he seemed to be more stupid than before.

One day when they were on campus, Lu Hao slipped while walking, didn't pay attention to the steps under his feet, and fell like a wild goose on flat sand.Chen Xingze stood beside him and said, "You remind me of an Afghan dog."

Lu Hao got up from the ground and said sullenly, "What is that?"

Chen Xingze: "It is said to be the stupidest dog breed in the world."

Lu Hao didn't answer.

Chen Xingze: "Do you know how stupid it can be?"

Lu Hao: "I don't know."

Chen Xingze: "It is said that someone conducted an experiment and led it to walk in a straight line. The passersby quietly left, and it continued to walk until it hit something."

Lu Hao: "..."

Even if such a fool was used as an analogy, Lu Hao still did not fight back. He patted the dirt on his body and continued walking in silence, as if he was thinking about some world-wide problem along the way.

Chen Xingze didn't know what was going on with him. He asked twice, but Lu Hao fudged him.He didn't ask any more questions, but only occasionally helped him liven up the atmosphere when he was embarrassed.

After spending about a week in this daze, on a dark and stormy night, Lu Hao called Chen Xingze to the basketball court.

Chen Xingze said twice: "It's a meeting, so serious." He put his hands in his pockets and paced leisurely, but Lu Hao pulled him in front of him, his nostrils were enlarged due to excitement.

Chen Xingze: "You want to kill someone?"

"Chen Xingze." Lu Hao called him by his name seriously, and that gaze made Chen Xingze's skin crawl.

Chen Xingze: "...What happened to you?"

Lu Hao said seriously: "I didn't really want to tell you, but I can't hide it, and I feel like I'm going to explode after holding it in for a week, so I decided to tell you."

"tell me what?"

"I heard what you said to Lily that day."

"what?"

"That day, at noon on the day you called Lili out alone, I followed... But I didn't go there because I wanted to eavesdrop."

Chen Xingze understood what was going on, and let out a soft ah.

"I didn't go there on purpose, I really didn't do it on purpose! I just, I just wasn't very hungry, so I just..." Lu Hao's face flushed red, and he couldn't explain clearly.But at this moment, Chen Xingze was thinking about other things...

"So you were so weird last week because you knew I was gay?"

"what?"

Chen Xingze looked at him with a pretended relaxed smile.

"Do you feel a little awkward?"

Lu Hao finally realized what Chen Xingze meant, and roared out instantly. "No! I didn't mean that! Where are you thinking!" He spit and spit, "I did that because, because I felt that I had eavesdropped on your secret, and I felt very sorry for you!"

Chen Xingze wiped his face as he looked at Lu Hao who was trying his best to clear up his grievances.

"...spray me all over."

Lu Hao was a little embarrassed, "I'm sorry, but I really didn't mean that."

Chen Xingze: "If it's not, then it's not."

Lu Hao lowered his head bitterly, and said, "I think you may not want too many people to know... But my mother said that if you want to make friends, you have to be aboveboard, and what you have to say, so I only thought about it for a week... ..."

"You can think about this for a week, your brain circuit is clear enough."

"I'm very distressed, okay. I've always wanted to confess to you, but I'm afraid you'll be angry."

Chen Xingze patted Lu Hao's arm comfortingly, "Don't worry, I won't be angry because of this kind of thing, let's go, go back to the classroom." Lu Hao caught up with him from behind, hesitantly said: "There is one more thing ..."

"what?"

"You, You Xiaolin...do you like You Xiaolin?"

Chen Xingze looked back at him.

Lu Hao hurriedly said: "I guessed randomly!"

Chen Xingze: "Then you guessed right."

Lu Hao stared at him, carefully asked: "Really? Do you like him?"

Chen Xingze: "I came to this school just because of him."

After confessing everything, Chen Xingze suddenly felt inexplicably relaxed.

Lu Hao snorted.

Chen Xingze continued to walk forward, and Lu Hao muttered from behind: "You like that kind of delicate one."

"Nonsense, could it be possible that he likes you, a big and three rough?" Chen Xingze said this because he wanted Lu Hao to relax, so that he would not have to worry about his personal safety when playing with him.

Lu Hao: "I'm not that strong, okay! Besides, what's wrong with being big and thick, this is a man!"

Chen Xingze laughed dryly, "I'm sorry, I'll be No. 1."

Lu Hao: "What do you mean?"

Uh……

Chen Xingze didn't explain further.First, I feel that this kind of thing is more private, and second, I feel that it is not safe.Although Lu Hao's reaction to "homosexuality" is not as strong as You Xiaolin's, it is probably because he only understands the part of "love" and has no concept of "sex".

Chen Xingze thought it would be good to stop here.

Anyway, in the eyes of the public, it is a bit strange for a man to sleep with a man.

Chen Xingze liked Lu Hao very much, and he didn't want to be strange in his eyes.

"Let's go." Chen Xingze pushed Lu Hao again, not to continue this topic.

The matter is settled satisfactorily.

And the consummation of this matter made Chen Xingze regret even more his strategy against You Xiaolin back then.

Young people are prone to impulsiveness. If he had been calmer back then, instead of directly sending such powerful gay movies, as he was doing to Lu Hao now, and proceeded step by step from the outside to the inside, maybe they would not be so stiff now.

Maybe over time, You Xiaolin can still be moved by him.

……

Forget it.

Stop daydreaming.

My head hurts.

"Hey, hello!"

Chen Xingze woke up from his lethargy, and Lu Hao stood beside his desk with a dissatisfied face.

"You ignore me when I talk to you."

Chen Xingze rubbed his neck, "I have something to do."

Lu Hao: "get out of class is over, let's go out for a walk."

Chen Xingze: "You have to transfer every class."

Lu Hao dragged the reluctant Chen Xingze out of the classroom, and wandered bored in the corridor.Chen Xingze yawned and was poked by Lu Hao's elbow.Lu Hao showed Chen Xingze a direction, and said in a low voice, "Look at that boy, that one, the one who just left the office...do you think he looks good? Is he the type you like?"

Chen Xingze looked over and recognized that it was the class monitor of Class [-], who was very polite with glasses.

Ever since the night on the basketball court ended, Lu Hao seemed to have opened the door to a new world, completely transformed into a curious baby, and opened the [-] whys mode anytime, anywhere.

At first Chen Xingze was a little speechless, but after a long time, he also realized the benefits.

After all, people need to communicate. It's too tiring to keep all the secrets in your heart. It's really nice to have someone who can discuss.

"I don't like it." Chen Xingze replied simply. He turned his head to look out the window, pointed to a person and said, "Look at the one from Class Seven, that's the type I like."

Lu Hao followed Chen Xingze's direction and looked over, "Is it a little thin?"

They all said that I was number 1...

Lu Hao looked at Chen Xingze, and asked in a low voice, "Have you ever been in a relationship? Except You Xiaolin."

Chen Xingze: "No."

Lu Hao: "That means you are inexperienced? Can you tell who is in the same category as you?"

Chen Xingze paused for a moment.

"Should...can be..." He is not very sure, he can occasionally smell "similar" in some boys, but before all his attention was on You Xiaolin, and he couldn't tolerate others at all.

When he recovered, Lu Hao was looking at him suspiciously.

"……What's wrong?"

"Why do I think you are a little unreliable?"

"what?"

"Do you have friends over there?"

"……No."

Lu Hao pouted.

The class bell rang, and the two returned to the classroom.But Chen Xingze couldn't listen to the next class.

Once Lu Hao said something, he remembered it.He found that he knew so little about that world, only You Xiaolin and that movie from beginning to end.

He couldn't help but wonder, how did other people of the same kind live?Where are they studying?What work do you do?Have you ever fallen in love with a straight man like him?Have you ever suffered emotionally?

When I think about it, I can't stop it.

Humans are social creatures, and it is their nature and instinct to seek out the same kind.After Chen Xingze thought for a few days, he finally took action.He goes to Internet cafes on weekends.For convenience, he specially asked for a private room, locked the door behind him, and started searching online.

In the past, Chen Xingze seldom searched for these things on the Internet. He had no experience. After searching randomly, he accidentally entered a chat room.As soon as he entered, a picture popped up on the screen. Two hunk men were doing piston movements together. The picture was still trembling, which shocked Chen Xingze.

The picture is accompanied by an exaggerated advertisement——

The golden gun does not fall!

Love freely!

Imported oil!

Domineering stay!

"What the hell..." Chen Xingze turned off the ad in sweat, and clicked into the chat room.

As a result, the contents of the chat room were similar to the advertisements, and they were all very explicit things.As Chen Xingze flipped through the pages, he felt a little hot all over his body, and unconsciously pressed his hands under his body.

After all, men are creatures that are not very good at controlling their desires.Chen Xingze is still a person with strong self-control. He decided to make a quick decision. He dug up a post on the dating channel that didn't have many comments, wrote down the phone number, and left in a hurry.

After leaving the Internet cafe, Chen Xingze's cheeks were red and hot, and his heart was pounding.The Internet cafe was not far from the school, and the peach grove on the campus showed its head in sight. Chen Xingze looked at the sharp branches in the distance, and gradually calmed down in his heart.

This is his world.

Chen Xingze tightened his gray scarf, bowed his head and walked home.

late at night.

In the suite of a high-end hotel, Mi Sheng is taking a shower.

In the dense steam, the slender body is faintly visible, and the water slides down a smooth curve along the smooth skin.

After taking a shower, Mi Sheng wrapped up his bathrobe and came to the mirror.He looked at the pale face in the mirror indifferently, glanced at it for a while, then turned and went out.

There was a strong smell of alcohol in the bedroom, and clothes were thrown everywhere.A man was lying motionless on the bed.Seen from the back, the man's hair is a bit thin, and he should be middle-aged.

Mi Sheng walked over, raised his straight long legs and kicked mercilessly.

"Are you dead?"

The man moved uncomfortably.

Mi Sheng snorted, took a cigarette out of the cigarette case on the table, and lit it.

His hair was not dry, it was all pulled back from his head, revealing his elegant face completely.

While smoking a cigarette, Mi Sheng looked out at the night.It's cloudy during the day and cloudy at night.Finding nothing to see, Mi Sheng turned back.He narrowed his eyes, bit the cigarette in his mouth, and rummaged through the clothes thrown by the man on the ground.

"Where's the wallet? Where's it?"

He searched and searched but couldn't find it, so he stood up, sneered and said, "Gao Xiwen, you bastard, are you fucking on guard against me?" He went over and kicked again. "Forget about the money. If you dare not accept the job you promised me, I will shake off all your dirty things!"

After cursing to vent his anger, Mi Sheng stubbed out the cigarette, untied the bath towel and began to change clothes.Hearing a ding dong in the middle of the change, he casually took Gao Xiwen's cell phone on the bedside table, and it showed a new message on it.

Mi Sheng lifted his trousers and brought the phone.

——Hello, my name is Chen Xingze, I saw your number on a dating website, did I bother you?

Mi Sheng raised his eyebrows and squinted at Gao Xiwen.He knew that Gao Xiwen had two mobile phone numbers, one for official work and one for nonsense.

"Okay, you Gao Xiwen, Director Tangtang still left his number on the dating site."

Mi Sheng smiled contemptuously, replying with crackling fingers.

——Send a photo.

In another city more than 700 kilometers away, Chen Xingze read the news under the covers.

"The photo...so straightforward." Chen Xingze muttered to himself, "The first sentence requires a photo...shouldn't you also reply with 'Hello'?"

Though thinking this way, Chen Xingze sent a text message to the same kind for the first time. With 12 points of sincerity, he selected from the photo album for a while, and sent it to the one he thought was pretty good.

Mi Sheng was buttoning his shirt when the text message came again.He clicked on the photo and paused slightly with his buttoned hand.

"Yo."

The boy in the photo is not very old, but his handsome outline has already taken shape.This photo was taken in front of a peach grove. The boy was wearing a dark coat with flower petals on his shoulders, and there were other high school students behind him.

Mi Sheng looked at it for a while, and asked questions straight to the point.

- Are you 1 or 0, or both?

- 1.

Mi Sheng laughed.

——I gave this number to someone else, and I will use another number to contact you in the future.

Mi Sheng sent his number, and within two seconds, he received a text message on his cell phone.

--Is it this one?

"That's good." Mi Sheng said, and deleted Chen Xingze's message from Gao Xiwen's phone.He put on his coat and shook his phone at Gao Xiwen. "This is the compensation for not being able to find the wallet."

After finishing speaking, he left.

The long trench coat swings in the night.
